- 0:00Speaker 1: Sid and Friends in the Morning.
- 0:03Speaker 2: Entertaining and informative.
- 0:05Speaker 3: On the Red Apple Podcast Network.
- 0:09Speaker 4: Congratulations especially to Sid Rosenberg on his induction to the
- 0:14Speaker 4: New York State Broadcasters Hall of Fame. I can't believe
- 0:18Speaker 4: he didn't make it years ago. Today, Sid forever joins
- 0:21Speaker 4: a roll call of some of the greatest legends in
- 0:25Speaker 4: the history of New York broadcasting and talk radio. the
- 0:28Speaker 4: best in the business, and he's the best in the business.
- 0:31Speaker 4: Over many years, Sid has distinguished himself as one of
- 0:34Speaker 4: the most authentic and recognizable voices in American airwaves. And
- 0:39Speaker 4: he's built a smart, loyal, gigantic audience. And I happen
- 0:43Speaker 4: to be one of those people in the audience. And
- 0:46Speaker 4: I had for a long time, long before I became president.
- 0:50Speaker 5: This weekend, the U.S. and China agreeing to lower some
- 0:53Speaker 5: barriers to trade. The White House says each country aims
- 0:56Speaker 5: to reduce tariffs on $ 30 billion worth of imported goods.
- 1:01Speaker 5: The deal, the product of this past week's summit between
- 1:03Speaker 5: President Trump and China's Xi Jinping.
- 1:06Speaker 6: I think our farmers are going to be very happy.
- 1:07Speaker 6: A lot of very positive things happen.
- 1:10Speaker 5: The White House says China will ease tariffs on American
- 1:13Speaker 5: agricultural products, fish and seafood, logs and wood products, cosmetics
- 1:18Speaker 5: and medical devices.
- 1:19Speaker 7: While the U.S.
- 1:20Speaker 5: Is set to lower tariffs on Chinese consumer products, small appliances, toys,
- 1:25Speaker 5: holiday decorations, and children's car seats. And in a boost
- 1:28Speaker 5: to coal country, the White House says China will buy
- 1:31Speaker 5: at least 10 million metric tons of American coal in
- 1:34Speaker 5: each of the next two years. Trump aides say the
- 1:36Speaker 5: two countries also agreed to start a new dialogue on
- 1:39Speaker 5: the risks and benefits of artificial intelligence, along with a
- 1:42Speaker 5: new communication channel between them. something of a hotline for
- 1:46Speaker 5: AI incidents. The president has said he doesn't see the
- 1:49Speaker 5: need for new curbs on AI, fearing it could give
- 1:51Speaker 5: China an edge in the AI race. It's still unclear
- 1:55Speaker 5: whether Trump was able to convince Xi to end China's
- 1:57Speaker 5: support for Iran. Beijing is the largest buyer of Iranian oil.
- 2:01Speaker 8: Meanwhile, let's go to the Middle East. Reports say several
- 2:04Speaker 8: vessels have.
- 2:05Speaker 6: Been struck in the Strait of Hormuz as President Trump
- 2:07Speaker 6: rejects Iran's proposal for a seven-day ceasefire to reopen the
- 2:11Speaker 6: critical waterway.
- 2:12Speaker 8: Madeline Rivera joins us now from Washington with the latest.
- 2:16Speaker 7: Good morning, Maddie. Hi, good morning.
- 2:18Speaker 9: So President Trump sees the U.S. as having the upper
- 2:20Speaker 9: hand as Iran's economy suffers, so he's not inclined to
- 2:23Speaker 9: take the regime's terms. Per the Wall Street Journal, Iran
- 2:26Speaker 9: had proposed a seven-day ceasefire during which Iran would lift
- 2:30Speaker 9: its naval blockade, or rather the U.S. would lift its
- 2:33Speaker 9: naval blockade, unfreeze some Iranian assets, and lift sanctions on
- 2:37Speaker 9: oil exports. In turn, Iran would reopen the Strait of
- 2:40Speaker 9: Hormuz and start negotiations on its nuclear program. The president, though,
- 2:44Speaker 9: found this proposal unacceptable, and he suggests Iran miscalculated when
- 2:49Speaker 9: it tried to assert control over the strait.
- 2:51Speaker 7: They said, let's close it and cause a problem for
- 2:54Speaker 7: the world.
- 2:55Speaker 10: And then I came along and we put.
- 2:57Speaker 7: Up the greatest blockade ever.
- 2:59Speaker 2: In military history.
- 3:01Speaker 7: It's a wall of steel.
- 3:02Speaker 11: I would put it up.
- 3:04Speaker 7: And guess what?
- 3:05Speaker 6: They don't have any money now because they wanted to
- 3:08Speaker 6: close the strait.
- 3:09Speaker 10: And I said, that's fine. We're going to close it
- 3:11Speaker 10: on you.
- 3:12Speaker 12: But everybody else is able to use it.
- 3:14Speaker 10: The U.S.
- 3:15Speaker 9: Has helped escort ships transiting through the Strait of Hormuz,
- 3:18Speaker 9: but traffic is still down from pre-war levels and the
- 3:21Speaker 9: disruptions have caused global oil prices to surge. The administration, though,
- 3:25Speaker 9: is intent on isolating Tehran's economy. Treasury Secretary Scott Besson
- 3:30Speaker 9: says following the launch of Operation Economic Outcasts, The U.S.
- 3:33Speaker 9: Treasury imposed targeted financial measures against banks and aviation service providers.
- 3:39Speaker 9: At my direction, teams were dispatched across the globe to
- 3:42Speaker 9: engage with countries and demand action against the Iranian regime.
- 3:47Speaker 9: Besson says as a result, Turkey, Oman and the United
- 3:50Speaker 9: Arab Emirates have stopped accepting flights by some Iranian airlines
- 3:54Speaker 9: and top commercial banks in the UAE and Turkey have
- 3:57Speaker 9: stopped transactions with Iran.
- 3:59Speaker 11: Protect college sports.
- 4:01Speaker 7: It's a huge focus of yours.
- 4:02Speaker 13: You've got 75 or so Senate votes that are supposed
- 4:05Speaker 13: to happen on Monday or Tuesday.
- 4:07Speaker 11: Why does that matter?
- 4:08Speaker 7: Why do you think it's bipartisan?
- 4:09Speaker 13: And are you optimistic the House is going to be
- 4:12Speaker 13: able to come back in session and also pass it?
- 4:14Speaker 7: I think they are. Mike Johnson's fantastic.
- 4:16Speaker 8: And we actually had 78 votes.
- 4:18Speaker 7: If you can believe it. That's really.
- 4:20Speaker 6: Bipartisanship for the.
- 4:21Speaker 7: First time in a while.
- 4:22Speaker 6: And, I mean, the alternative is just as no good.
- 4:24Speaker 6: You had people leaving the NFL to play, and the
- 4:27Speaker 6: colleges could never have afforded it, and nobody could afford it.
- 4:30Speaker 6: It was going to be a terrible thing. I think
- 4:32Speaker 6: we've done a great job in putting it together. We
- 4:35Speaker 6: have to get it voted on, and we're counting on
- 4:37Speaker 6: the House, and I think the House will come through, too.
- 4:40Speaker 7: How stupid. That was an embarrassment. An embarrassment.
- 4:43Speaker 14: And I wish Ted Cruz would fly to some other
- 4:46Speaker 14: country and avoid this altogether. Go to Cancun like you
- 4:48Speaker 14: did when everybody was frozen in Texas, all right?
- 4:51Speaker 7: Do that.
- 4:51Speaker 14: It's so stupid that our politicians are worried about this
- 4:55Speaker 14: while they're fixing nothing in the rest of the country.
- 4:58Speaker 7: Nothing. Nothing at all.
- 5:00Speaker 14: The country's more divided and ruined more than ever in
- 5:02Speaker 14: my lifetime. But we're worried about the Save the ESPN
- 5:06Speaker 14: and the SEC Contract Act.
- 5:08Speaker 1: Good job, Randy Levine.
- 5:09Speaker 13: Thank you.
- 5:13Speaker 2: Thank you.
- 5:15Speaker 10: Thank you very much. Great to be here.
- 5:19Speaker 1: I'm very excited.
- 5:20Speaker 12: You guys can probably tell by my voice and face.
- 5:25Speaker 12: But tonight, I'm going to approach the same way I
- 5:28Speaker 12: approach the Knicks finals game. So the first three quarters
- 5:31Speaker 12: of the show are going to be god-awful. The last
- 5:35Speaker 12: sketch is going to be amazing.
- 5:41Speaker 10: Anyway, anyway, I had a pretty good summer.
- 5:43Speaker 12: I hope the Knicks win the NBA championship. By now,
- 5:50Speaker 12: you've all heard me talk about it, but you haven't
- 5:52Speaker 12: heard me sing about it. And obviously, I'm not going to.
- 5:58Speaker 2: But look, the new season is.
- 6:01Speaker 12: Just a couple weeks away, and I gotta say, it's
- 6:03Speaker 12: gonna be pretty cool to be back in Madison Square Garden.
- 6:05Speaker 1: Looking around like, wow.
- 6:10Speaker 12: Just a few months ago, this was the exact spot
- 6:13Speaker 12: where Taylor and Travis got married. And I would say
- 6:16Speaker 12: the most satisfying part of winning the title is thinking
- 6:18Speaker 12: about all the people who doubted me along the way.
- 6:20Speaker 12: And tonight, I finally get some closure. I invited one
- 6:24Speaker 12: of my biggest doubters here to apologize to my face,
- 6:27Speaker 12: Stephen A.
- 6:27Speaker 10: Smith.
- 6:34Speaker 7: You know what?
- 6:35Speaker 15: Let me say this, Jalen Brudgen. Um, I am man
- 6:38Speaker 15: enough to admit that I was wrong when the New
- 6:41Speaker 15: York Knickerbocker signed you, and I did not think that
- 6:44Speaker 15: you would answer, nor did I believe that you could
- 6:48Speaker 15: deliver the team's first championship since 1973 when I was
- 6:51Speaker 15: only five years old.
- 6:54Speaker 10: Sorry, student.
- 6:54Speaker 2: Uh, how long is this going to go?
- 6:56Speaker 15: About another seven minutes.
- 6:57Speaker 10: Yeah, forget it.
- 6:58Speaker 7: Okay, you got it.
- 6:59Speaker 10: You got it.
- 7:03Speaker 13: The Yankees and the Red Sox are forever rivals. Two
- 7:06Speaker 13: teams that are forever connected, forever competing, and forever trying
- 7:11Speaker 13: to silence the other. For the second straight season, this
- 7:15Speaker 13: New York-Boston skirmish will end with one team delivering a
- 7:19Speaker 13: sleeper hold and ending the other's season.
- 7:23Speaker 7: Enjoy the silence.
- 7:24Speaker 13: 360 days ago, Cam Schlittler, the Walpole kid, was dominant
- 7:30Speaker 13: in helping terminate Boston's season. Can he dominate again? Schlittler
- 7:35Speaker 13: will be a pivotal character in a wildcard series drama
- 7:38Speaker 13: that starts on Tuesday night. Max Fried and Garrett Cole
- 7:43Speaker 13: will be lead actors, too. With an excellent rotation, a
- 7:47Speaker 13: lineup that even without Aaron Judge should produce, some bullpen weapons,
- 7:52Speaker 13: and a home field advantage, the Yankees are favored.
- 7:55Speaker 5: But the Red Sox are feisty.
- 7:58Speaker 13: They looked dead in June before a 32-5 stretch revived
- 8:02Speaker 13: their season. Boston will try to smother the Yankees with
- 8:06Speaker 13: lefty pitchers. What makes this rivalry so great?
- 8:10Speaker 1: It's the passion.
- 8:12Speaker 13: It's the pursuit of perfection. It's the proximity. And of course,
- 8:16Speaker 13: it's the prize. The ultimate prize is winning a World
- 8:19Speaker 13: Series title. But burying a rival is a sweet step
- 8:24Speaker 13: along that path. When Babe Ruth was traded from the
- 8:28Speaker 13: Red Sox to New York in late 1919, the Yankees
- 8:32Speaker 13: dominance in baseball started and the rivalry was incredibly one
- 8:37Speaker 13: sided for decade after decade. As much as Red Sox
- 8:42Speaker 13: fans blame the failures on the curse of the Bambino,
- 8:45Speaker 13: he wasn't.
- 8:46Speaker 5: The only B they loathed.
- 8:49Speaker 13: They hated when Bucky Dent went deep to left in 1978,
- 8:54Speaker 13: and they despised Aaron Boone for swatting a knuckleball into
- 8:58Speaker 13: the Bronx night in 2003. The Yankees have won 27 championships,
- 9:04Speaker 13: but none since 2009. The Red Sox ended an 86-year-old
- 9:10Speaker 13: curse by winning it all in 2004, and that was
- 9:14Speaker 13: after they, cover your ears Yankee fans, rallied for four
- 9:18Speaker 13: straight wins over New York in the ALCS. Boston also
- 9:23Speaker 13: won titles in 2007, 2013, and 2018. Which team will
- 9:24Speaker 13: advance to possibly win a ring in 2026? Without Judge,
- 9:36Speaker 13: the Yankees need other heroes. Maybe it will be Schlittler again.
- 9:41Speaker 13: Or maybe it will be Ben or Bellinger. More bees
- 9:45Speaker 13: to annoy Boston. Whoever it is, the Yankees need two
- 9:49Speaker 13: wins to silence their fierce rival and try to craft
- 9:53Speaker 13: a boisterous and beautiful October.
- 9:56Speaker 7: Trump had a busy sports weekend, but for some reason,
- 10:00Speaker 7: during that Yankee analysis... I guess that was Jack Curry, yes?
- 10:04Speaker 8: Sounds like Jack.
- 10:05Speaker 7: Jack said, enjoy the silence. And at the same time,
- 10:09Speaker 7: Lou and I looked at each other from across the glass.
- 10:12Speaker 7: He knew what I was thinking. I knew what he
- 10:15Speaker 7: was thinking. Anytime you've got a chance to play Depeche Mode,
- 10:19Speaker 7: enjoy the silence. The name of the album, I think,
- 10:24Speaker 7: was Violator. And it had personal Jesus. I want to
- 10:29Speaker 7: go with Violator.
- 10:30Speaker 10: That's it.
- 10:30Speaker 7: There you go. We took the opportunity to play it.
- 10:33Speaker 7: What a great way to start your Monday morning. Although, again,
- 10:36Speaker 7: it is raining. Is this rain ever going to stop?
- 10:40Speaker 7: I mean, Noam, what do you hear about this Nor'easter,
- 10:43Speaker 7: which is going on for three days? Anything new on
- 10:47Speaker 7: the weather? Is it going to stop raining today, Noam?
- 10:50Speaker 7: What are you hearing?
- 10:51Speaker 16: This thing that pummeled us over the weekend is actually
- 10:55Speaker 16: coming back.
- 10:56Speaker 7: It's coming back?
- 10:57Speaker 1: Yeah, so it's going to loop back around today.
- 11:00Speaker 16: And it's going to hit the same places, the Jersey
- 11:03Speaker 16: and the Long Island coastline. So we're going to see–
- 11:06Speaker 16: the rain won't be as heavy, and the wind gusts
- 11:09Speaker 16: won't be as high as they were over the weekend,
- 11:11Speaker 16: but they'll be like 30 miles per hour.
- 11:13Speaker 7: Come on.
- 11:14Speaker 16: So today's high tide probably going to bring some more
- 11:16Speaker 16: coastal flooding into places that already have been flooded out.
- 11:20Speaker 7: So far which include like rumson new jersey i saw
- 11:23Speaker 7: union city new jersey is underwater.
- 11:26Speaker 16: Yeah brighton hoboken the walkway that faces the city that
- 11:29Speaker 16: was uh underwater over the weekend so yeah you.
- 11:32Speaker 7: Got to get it nice by tomorrow i will be
- 11:34Speaker 7: in attendance tomorrow night sitting with my man wendy levine
- 11:38Speaker 7: who chris sims phil sims's son i love phil sims
- 11:43Speaker 7: one of my best friends but I had no idea
- 11:46Speaker 7: that Chris, who I like, too, suffered from TDS. He
- 11:49Speaker 7: hates Trump, I guess. And he called out Randy Levine
- 11:53Speaker 7: after I played that clip of Trump and Clay Travis
- 11:56Speaker 7: talking about fixing college sports. Called out Randy. But I'll
- 12:00Speaker 7: be sitting next to Randy tomorrow night in that game
- 12:02Speaker 7: one of the Yankees-Red Sox series. And also during that
- 12:06Speaker 7: Jack Curry analysis, he mentioned all the Bs that annoy
- 12:11Speaker 7: Boston with a B. Aaron Boone's home run. Off Tim Wakefield,
- 12:15Speaker 7: he mentioned Bucky Dent's famous 1978 home run off Mike Torres.
- 12:21Speaker 7: And I got a text literally a minute ago from
- 12:23Speaker 7: the aforementioned Bucky Dent. And my dear friend out of
- 12:26Speaker 7: Florida will join us coming up this morning in the
- 12:29Speaker 7: 9 o'clock hour. So Bucky Dent will be here today
- 12:33Speaker 7: and can't think of a better guest with the Yankees
- 12:36Speaker 7: and Red Sox getting going tomorrow night. That's the big
- 12:40Speaker 7: sports story. We did have our local football teams play yesterday.
- 12:44Speaker 7: The Giants ended up winning in one of the worst
- 12:47Speaker 7: football games I've ever seen. I wish I could be excited.
- 12:51Speaker 7: I know we're 2-1 right now in that division where
- 12:54Speaker 7: the Eagles have a chance to remain perfect. They've got
- 12:57Speaker 7: the Bears on the road tonight, and the Bears are
- 13:00Speaker 7: down to their third-string quarterback. Dallas somehow is 1-2. I
- 13:04Speaker 7: don't know how. That offense is really fun to watch.
- 13:09Speaker 7: including yesterday in Brazil against Baltimore, but their defense is
- 13:13Speaker 7: still terrible. Jackson Dort ate them for lunch. Yesterday, Lamar
- 13:17Speaker 7: Jackson ate them for lunch. So they are a one-win team.
- 13:20Speaker 7: And here come the Redskins, who lost their first two
- 13:24Speaker 7: games with Jaden Daniels at quarterback. They were forced to
- 13:28Speaker 7: play the backup, Marcus Mariotti, yesterday. And all he did
- 13:31Speaker 7: was beat the Super Bowl champs, Sam Donald and the
- 13:35Speaker 7: Seattle Seahawks. So interesting division. The Giants, if you can
- 13:39Speaker 7: be a lousy 2-1 at this point, are a lousy 2-1.
- 13:43Speaker 7: I mean, Winston was terrible again yesterday. And the Giants
- 13:47Speaker 7: had some pretty horrible play calling as well. All these
- 13:50Speaker 7: offensive geniuses led by John Horbaugh. Why in a million
- 13:55Speaker 7: years would you ever put Cam Scadaboo in a Wildcat formation?
- 14:00Speaker 7: Did you see that?
- 14:00Speaker 11: I did, yeah.
- 14:01Speaker 7: I mean, that was the dumbest thing I've ever seen.
- 14:03Speaker 7: And I knew what happened was going to happen. You see,
- 14:07Speaker 7: the Jets yesterday, they surprised me. They lost, but, man,
- 14:11Speaker 7: Geno Smith was great through three touchdowns, completed like 31
- 14:16Speaker 7: of 37. Now, he got clobbered and fumbled the football.
- 14:19Speaker 7: It wasn't his fault. Completely attacked on that last offensive
- 14:23Speaker 7: play for the Jets. But every time Detroit took a lead,
- 14:27Speaker 7: Geno brought the Jets back. In fact, the Jets scored
- 14:30Speaker 7: twice in the fourth quarter, even got a two-point conversion
- 14:33Speaker 7: to tie the game, and the Jet defense let them down.
- 14:36Speaker 7: They let the Lions and Jamar Gibbs go right down
- 14:38Speaker 7: the field and took another lead at 31-24. So it
- 14:42Speaker 7: was not Geno Smith. Geno was terrific yesterday on a
- 14:46Speaker 7: day where the Jets could not run the football and
- 14:48Speaker 7: Brees Hall got hurt. Geno was great. So I have
- 14:51Speaker 7: to tell you that I'm a Giant fan and my
- 14:53Speaker 7: Giants won. I'm not a Jet fan of the Jets lost,
- 14:56Speaker 7: but watching these games at home, I was much more
- 14:59Speaker 7: entertained by Geno Smith and the Jets than my football Giants.
- 15:04Speaker 7: You watch any of these games, no?
- 15:05Speaker 16: Yeah, not even close. The Jets are fun to watch
- 15:08Speaker 16: and may in the end up being a better team if.
- 15:10Speaker 1: The Giants don't get a quarterback.
- 15:12Speaker 7: We got to see. What's his name? Got hurt yesterday.
- 15:14Speaker 7: That Garrett Wilson.
- 15:15Speaker 10: Yeah.
- 15:16Speaker 7: What a great game. But yeah, no, right now the
- 15:18Speaker 7: Jets are much more fun to watch. Giants need a quarterback.
- 15:20Speaker 7: You're exactly right. This guy cannot play another game. He
- 15:24Speaker 7: probably will. I forgot who the Giants play this weekend,
- 15:27Speaker 7: but he is, I don't know what happened. He was
- 15:29Speaker 7: a very capable backup. When he played a couple of
- 15:32Speaker 7: times last year, Jameis, he actually put points up on
- 15:35Speaker 7: the board. But so far, these two games, he looks
- 15:38Speaker 7: like he's never played a down in the National Football
- 15:40Speaker 7: League in his life.
- 15:41Speaker 16: I mean, the weather obviously was a big factor yesterday
- 15:44Speaker 16: because it was just pouring the entire game.
- 15:47Speaker 1: But he still looked terrible.
- 15:48Speaker 7: Just terrible. Come on. It was just terrible. So the
- 15:51Speaker 7: Giants go to 2-1. The Jets go to 1-2. I
- 15:54Speaker 7: heard you talking earlier about that Raven-Cowboy game, which I
- 15:57Speaker 7: just referenced in Brazil. It's the third game they played
- 16:01Speaker 7: in Brazil, but the first ever in Rio de Janeiro.
- 16:05Speaker 7: A lot of concerns about the feel before the game.
- 16:08Speaker 7: In fact, most of your Sunday morning pregame NFL shows,
- 16:11Speaker 7: which are impossible to watch, all they talked about was
- 16:15Speaker 7: feel conditions. But I didn't see anybody get seriously hurt
- 16:19Speaker 7: on that game yesterday. And it was a very, very
- 16:21Speaker 7: exciting game, which Baltimore finally won. As time expired, they
- 16:25Speaker 7: kicked the field goal to improve to 2-1. Again, Dallas
- 16:28Speaker 7: falls to 1-2. But that was a fun game to watch, no?
- 16:30Speaker 16: Well, that game, it was a tie score with seven
- 16:33Speaker 16: seconds left.
- 16:34Speaker 7: Yes, 31-31, and the Ravens kicked the game-winning field goal.
- 16:37Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, it was unbelievable.
- 16:38Speaker 16: They kick off the ball, they return it, and one pass.
- 16:41Speaker 16: There's one second left on the clock, and the Ravens
- 16:44Speaker 16: win it. I thought for sure it was going to
- 16:45Speaker 16: go into overtime, but it did not.
- 16:47Speaker 17: No.
- 16:48Speaker 7: Some good football yesterday around the league. Kansas City looks
- 16:51Speaker 7: like they're back. They beat a terrible Dolphin football team, 24-10.
- 16:55Speaker 7: They remain undefeated. The Bills, they fell behind 10-0 quickly.
- 16:59Speaker 7: They fumbled their first possession of the game. Cox fumbled,
- 17:04Speaker 7: and Cooks, I should say, found themselves down 10-0 to
- 17:07Speaker 7: the Chargers, but they beat the Chargers. So the Bills
- 17:10Speaker 7: remain undefeated at 3-0, and the Chargers remain winless today.
- 17:14Speaker 7: at 0-3. So again, we'll end Week 3 tonight with
- 17:18Speaker 7: the Eagles looking to stay perfect, taking on a Chicago
- 17:21Speaker 7: Bear team, which will be without their starting quarterback, Caleb Williams,
- 17:25Speaker 7: from anywhere to four to six weeks. They're down to
- 17:28Speaker 7: their third-string quarterback, the Bears, so we'll see if they
- 17:31Speaker 7: can put up a fight against the Eagles. later on tonight.
- 17:35Speaker 7: But the Yankees, again, postseason all starts tomorrow. Bucky Dent
- 17:38Speaker 7: will join me later on in this program. So here's
- 17:40Speaker 7: how it works. Yankees will take on the Boston Red
- 17:43Speaker 7: Sox in the best of three with the first game
- 17:46Speaker 7: at Yankee Stadium tomorrow night. The winner of the Yankees
- 17:50Speaker 7: and the Red Sox goes on to take on the
- 17:53Speaker 7: overall number one seed in the American League, the AL
- 17:56Speaker 7: East Champs, the team with the most wins this year.
- 17:59Speaker 7: inside the American League with 98, the Tampa Bay Rays.
- 18:03Speaker 7: Nobody won 100 in the American League. Two teams won
- 18:06Speaker 7: 100-plus in the National League, the Brewers and the Dodgers.
- 18:09Speaker 7: So Yankees, Red Sox, the winner of that will take
- 18:12Speaker 7: on the Tampa Bay Rays. The other American League series
- 18:16Speaker 7: features the Astros taking on the White Sox, and the
- 18:20Speaker 7: winner of that will take on the two-seed, I should say,
- 18:24Speaker 7: inside the American League, the Cleveland Guardians. Now, in the NL,
- 18:28Speaker 7: the Mets didn't make it. They were close. Ended up, what,
- 18:31Speaker 7: 14 under? Terrible year for the Mets. The Brewers and
- 18:35Speaker 7: Dodgers are your top seeds. So the winner of the
- 18:38Speaker 7: Phillies and the Braves, your Phillies, Noam, playing postseason baseball,
- 18:43Speaker 7: they will take on the Dodgers. And the winner of
- 18:46Speaker 7: the Cub Padres series, they will take on the Milwaukee Brewers.
- 18:50Speaker 7: Got it, Noam?
- 18:51Speaker 16: Yeah, I think we just fast forward to that Brewers-Dodgers
- 18:54Speaker 16: series because that'll be amazing.
- 18:56Speaker 7: That's it?
- 18:56Speaker 10: Yeah.
- 18:56Speaker 7: You don't see any of these other teams even having
- 18:59Speaker 7: a chance.
- 18:59Speaker 1: No, I mean, they're just too good.
- 19:01Speaker 7: So Milwaukee, the one seed, 103 wins this year. Dodgers,
- 19:05Speaker 7: 100 as well. That's your NLCS. Plan to prognosticate on
- 19:10Speaker 7: the American League. Give me the Yanks. Come on, baby.
- 19:16Speaker 7: Give me the Yanks.
- 19:17Speaker 1: I think they have to get by Boston. I'm a
- 19:19Speaker 1: little nervous about that.
- 19:21Speaker 7: Boston did go 32-5 at one point this summer. Isn't
- 19:25Speaker 7: that crazy?
- 19:25Speaker 17: It is.
- 19:26Speaker 7: They were left for dead in June. They went 32-5.
- 19:28Speaker 7: The Yankees are better, though. The Yankees are all better.
- 19:31Speaker 16: They are better on paper, but Boston's been, as of late,
- 19:35Speaker 16: a much better team.
- 19:37Speaker 7: Much better?
- 19:38Speaker 1: Yeah, I think so. I think this is going to
- 19:39Speaker 1: be a tough series for them to win.
- 19:41Speaker 7: Are you picking them to lose?
- 19:42Speaker 10: No.
- 19:42Speaker 7: Who cares about how tough it is?
- 19:44Speaker 1: I'm a Yankees fan at the end of the day.
- 19:46Speaker 10: You are?
- 19:46Speaker 1: I'm nervous about the Red Sox.
- 19:48Speaker 7: You're not? No.
- 19:50Speaker 1: You think they're going to just win it outright?
- 19:52Speaker 7: They have to win two games. It's a best of three.
- 19:55Speaker 7: I think the series never gets to Boston. I think
- 19:58Speaker 7: Schlittler wins game one and Freed wins game two.
- 20:00Speaker 1: I hope you're right.
- 20:01Speaker 7: The last thing you want is this series to be 1-1,
- 20:04Speaker 7: go to Fenway Park, and Garrett Cole has to pitch.
- 20:07Speaker 8: I don't think it goes to Boston.
- 20:08Speaker 7: I don't think so either.
- 20:09Speaker 8: No, it doesn't go ever tomorrow.
- 20:11Speaker 7: Oh, no, you're right. They get no home games this series.
- 20:14Speaker 7: You're right. The Yankees get all three. That's right. That's right.
- 20:17Speaker 7: You're exactly right, Lewis. Nicely done. Tampa Bay makes me
- 20:20Speaker 7: nervous in the second round.
- 20:21Speaker 10: Yeah.
- 20:22Speaker 7: But the Yankees are better than them, too. But I
- 20:25Speaker 7: guess we'll see, right? You want to come tomorrow night?
- 20:28Speaker 1: I know you're setting me up, but yes, I'd love
- 20:30Speaker 1: to go.
- 20:30Speaker 7: Well, you can't go. Okay. I only have one extra ticket,
- 20:32Speaker 7: and I'm taking Justin because he's a real Yankee fan.
- 20:35Speaker 1: He is.
- 20:35Speaker 7: You're not a real Yankee fan.
- 20:37Speaker 10: No, no.
- 20:37Speaker 1: I grew up watching the Phillies, not the Yankees.
- 20:39Speaker 7: So you're a Phillies fan?
- 20:40Speaker 17: Yeah.
- 20:40Speaker 7: So you'll be watching the Phillies and the Braves?
- 20:42Speaker 1: Do you know the president of the Phillies? Maybe he
- 20:44Speaker 1: can get me into a box seat there.
- 20:46Speaker 7: Isn't he Jewish? I don't know.
- 20:48Speaker 1: I don't even know who he is.
- 20:49Speaker 7: I have no idea. So a lot of sports coming
- 20:52Speaker 7: up on this show, which bodes very, very well for me.
- 20:55Speaker 7: That's why I kicked the crap out of Larry and Curtis.
- 20:58Speaker 7: That's why I get the best ratings by far, even
- 21:00Speaker 7: at this station, because we do sports, which you've got
- 21:04Speaker 7: to do. You want to do radio in New York City.
- 21:06Speaker 7: I don't care if you're doing politics, news talk, it
- 21:09Speaker 7: doesn't matter. If you don't do your fair share of sports,
- 21:13Speaker 7: you will lose. There's a reason why Imus had all
- 21:16Speaker 7: these very, very famous sports guys on that show. Everybody
- 21:19Speaker 7: from Mike Francesa to Chris Russo to Iron Eagle to
- 21:24Speaker 7: Sid Rosenberg to Warner Wolf, John Minko, Mike Breen. All
- 21:28Speaker 7: these guys did sports, Patrick McEnroe on the IMAS show,
- 21:32Speaker 7: because if you want to have a successful talk show
- 21:35Speaker 7: in New York, you can't just ignore sports. I mean,
- 21:39Speaker 7: you know that, don't you?
- 21:40Speaker 1: Of course.
- 21:41Speaker 7: So right now you've got the Yankees in the postseason.
- 21:43Speaker 7: You're up to week four in the NFL with the
- 21:45Speaker 7: Jets and the Giants. The Rangers start their season tomorrow
- 21:49Speaker 7: night against the Bruins, the Islanders. start Wednesday against Toronto
- 21:53Speaker 7: and Joe Nolan's New Jersey Devils. They start their season
- 21:57Speaker 7: Thursday against the Flyers. And then you're not that long
- 22:00Speaker 7: off from the Knicks taking on the Bron James and
- 22:03Speaker 7: the 76ers to raise the banner game one at Madison
- 22:07Speaker 7: Square Garden. I did play for you in the open
- 22:09Speaker 7: for some reason. Jalen Brunson hosted SNL this weekend. It's
- 22:16Speaker 7: a nice get by Lorne Michaels to get Jalen here
- 22:19Speaker 7: in New York. They won the championship. The Knicks have
- 22:22Speaker 7: become bigger than God. So Jalen hosted SNL. I played
- 22:27Speaker 7: one of the clips in the open. It wasn't terrible.
- 22:31Speaker 1: It was terrible.
- 22:33Speaker 8: The show was brutal.
- 22:34Speaker 7: Brutal, right?
- 22:34Speaker 8: The show is beyond brutal.
- 22:38Speaker 7: It's never good, though. Not Jalen Brunson's fault.
- 22:41Speaker 8: Well, I'm just picking out last Saturday.
- 22:43Speaker 7: It was particularly bad?
- 22:44Speaker 8: No, nothing about him, too. But they put him in
- 22:47Speaker 8: these situations that are uncomfortable.
- 22:49Speaker 7: And stupid, right? And not funny. Not funny.
- 22:51Speaker 10: Dumb.
- 22:52Speaker 8: The crowd is not even getting the jokes.
- 22:54Speaker 7: And I think Mikael Bridges also performed. And Ananobi, was
- 22:58Speaker 7: he there, too?
- 22:58Speaker 1: He was.
- 22:59Speaker 7: They were all there.
- 23:00Speaker 10: Yeah.
- 23:00Speaker 8: But they had. They were asking questions of him, and
- 23:03Speaker 8: they were all stupid.
- 23:05Speaker 7: Stupid.
- 23:05Speaker 8: Questions.
- 23:06Speaker 7: Well, here's some. We'll play it again. This is the
- 23:09Speaker 7: first two minutes of New York Knick champion Jalen Brunson's
- 23:13Speaker 7: monologue on SNL from Saturday night. Lewis, this is cut
- 23:17Speaker 7: number 12. Thank you.
- 23:21Speaker 15: Thank you.
- 23:24Speaker 11: Thank you very much.
- 23:27Speaker 10: Great to be here.
- 23:28Speaker 1: I'm very excited.
- 23:29Speaker 12: You guys can probably tell by my voice and face.
- 23:34Speaker 12: But tonight, I'm going to approach the post in the
- 23:36Speaker 12: same way I approach the Knicks finals game. So the
- 23:39Speaker 12: first three quarters of the show are going.
- 23:41Speaker 7: To be god-awful.
- 23:44Speaker 12: The last sketch is going to be amazing.
- 23:50Speaker 10: Anyway, anyway, I had a pretty good summer.
- 23:52Speaker 12: I hope the Knicks win the NBA championship. Right now,
- 23:59Speaker 12: you've all heard me talk about it, but you haven't
- 24:01Speaker 12: heard me sing about it.
- 24:06Speaker 1: And obviously, I'm not going to.
- 24:07Speaker 12: The due season is just a couple weeks away, and
- 24:11Speaker 12: I gotta say, it's gonna be pretty cool to be
- 24:12Speaker 12: back in Madison Square Garden.
- 24:16Speaker 2: Looking around like.
- 24:17Speaker 12: Wow, just a few months ago, this was the exact
- 24:21Speaker 12: spot where Taylor and Travis got married.
- 24:23Speaker 7: Hmm.
- 24:25Speaker 1: And I would say the most satisfying.
- 24:26Speaker 12: Part of winning the title is thinking about all the
- 24:28Speaker 12: people who doubted me along the way. And tonight, I
- 24:30Speaker 12: finally get some closure. I invited one of my biggest
- 24:33Speaker 12: shout-outs here to apologize to my face, Stephen A.
- 24:36Speaker 10: Smith.
- 24:36Speaker 16: It gets worse from here.
- 24:43Speaker 15: Let me say this, Jalen Rudsey. I am man enough
- 24:47Speaker 15: to admit that I was wrong. When the New York
- 24:50Speaker 15: Knickerbockers signed you, and I did not think that you
- 24:53Speaker 15: would answer, nor did I believe that you could deliver
- 24:57Speaker 15: the team's first championship since 1973 when I was only
- 25:00Speaker 15: five years old.
- 25:02Speaker 2: Sorry, Steve.
- 25:04Speaker 7: How long is this going to go?
- 25:05Speaker 15: About another seven minutes.
- 25:06Speaker 10: Yeah, forget it.
- 25:07Speaker 7: Okay, you got it.
- 25:08Speaker 10: You got it. All right, thank you very much.
- 25:10Speaker 7: Dalen Brunson. You know, talking about the Knicks at Madison
- 25:13Speaker 7: Square Garden, that hack, that complete jerk-off Jimmy Kimmel, And
- 25:18Speaker 7: I have no idea how Jimmy Kimmel is still on
- 25:21Speaker 7: television and makes millions and millions of dollars. You see
- 25:26Speaker 7: why I get upset, folks? I don't make millions and
- 25:28Speaker 7: millions of dollars. I should, but I don't. And a
- 25:32Speaker 7: hack like Jimmy Kimmel makes millions and millions of dollars.
- 25:36Speaker 7: Doesn't even get any ratings. I mean, he gets nothing.
- 25:40Speaker 7: And he can say whatever he wants. He's done blackface,
- 25:44Speaker 7: acting like Karl Malone on the Utah Jazz. He's done
- 25:47Speaker 7: blackface a million times. Made fun of the way black
- 25:50Speaker 7: people speak. It doesn't matter. He gets to do whatever
- 25:54Speaker 7: he wants. You know, Hasan Piker says that Sid Rosenberg
- 25:58Speaker 7: can say whatever he wants. That's what Hasan Piker says.
- 26:02Speaker 7: He says it's good to be a Zionist on radio
- 26:05Speaker 7: today because when you're a Zionist in New York like
- 26:08Speaker 7: Sid Rosenberg, you get to say whatever you want to say.
- 26:12Speaker 7: That's what Hasan Piker said about me just last week. Well,
- 26:15Speaker 7: I guess if you're Jimmy Kimmel and you're a liberal
- 26:19Speaker 7: on network television, you can say whatever you want. So
- 26:22Speaker 7: you know that every year, it's been a couple years
- 26:25Speaker 7: since he's done it, I think. But for years, Jimmy
- 26:28Speaker 7: Kimmel did his live shows from Brooklyn because he claims
- 26:32Speaker 7: he's from Brooklyn, although there's nothing Brooklyn about Jimmy Kimmel.
- 26:36Speaker 7: Would you agree with that?
- 26:37Speaker 10: No.
- 26:37Speaker 7: Yeah. But I guess he was born here.
- 26:39Speaker 1: He was born, and I think as a kid, moved
- 26:40Speaker 1: to Vegas.
- 26:41Speaker 10: Right.
- 26:41Speaker 7: So he's really more Vegas than he is. More Vegas
- 26:44Speaker 7: than he is. New York. Now he's completely L.A. So
- 26:46Speaker 7: he'll be doing his shows. Is it this week in Brooklyn?
- 26:49Speaker 2: It is, yeah.
- 26:50Speaker 7: And he's got the Jihad Boy terrorist mayor on this week.
- 26:54Speaker 1: Oh, he does?
- 26:54Speaker 7: Yes.
- 26:55Speaker 10: Yes.
- 26:55Speaker 7: That's the big deal. He's got Mamdani on in Brooklyn.
- 26:59Speaker 7: You can see Mamdani and Jimmy Kimmel. And if you
- 27:03Speaker 7: don't off yourself that night, you will never do it.
- 27:08Speaker 7: If that is not a recipe for suicide, well, I
- 27:11Speaker 7: just don't know what is. Do you know? Mamdani and
- 27:15Speaker 7: Jimmy Kimmel in Brooklyn this week. So let me get
- 27:18Speaker 7: back to the Nor'easter. So Friday night we go out
- 27:22Speaker 7: for dinner. Yesterday was my beautiful wife Danielle's birthday. And
- 27:26Speaker 7: we knew the whole weekend was going to be shot
- 27:28Speaker 7: with the weather, and we live out by the beach,
- 27:30Speaker 7: so it's even worse, you know. So we decided, let's
- 27:33Speaker 7: go out for a nice dinner Friday night and play
- 27:35Speaker 7: the rest of the weekend by ear. So we went
- 27:38Speaker 7: to a place where we go every weekend, which is
- 27:40Speaker 7: also a Lewin MJ favorite. We bumped into them many
- 27:43Speaker 7: times at this place. And the name of the place
- 27:45Speaker 7: is Adrian's. It's in... What is the name of that place?
- 27:50Speaker 8: Broad Channel.
- 27:51Speaker 7: Broad Channel, owned by our dear friend Marty Feeney, great guy.
- 27:54Speaker 7: All his kids work there. You get Chris and you
- 27:58Speaker 7: get Leo. Leo's great. And the nephew, Michael, they're all terrific.
- 28:02Speaker 7: They really are. It's a great restaurant right on the water.
- 28:05Speaker 7: The food is great. So we walk in. It's me, Danielle, Gabriel,
- 28:10Speaker 7: my daughter Ava, and Ava's friend Danielle, five of us.
- 28:14Speaker 7: We walk out about 90 minutes later, and we could
- 28:17Speaker 7: not exit the restaurant by the front because it's right
- 28:22Speaker 7: on the bay, that restaurant, and all the water from
- 28:25Speaker 7: the bay was literally coming onto the front of the street,
- 28:30Speaker 7: the entrance of the restaurant, or the exit in this case.
- 28:33Speaker 7: We couldn't get out. This was Friday night. You have
- 28:35Speaker 7: to understand, no, this thing hadn't even started yet. It was...
- 28:39Speaker 7: Like 9 o'clock Friday night, well before this thing even started.
- 28:43Speaker 7: I think Lou told me that MJ said they couldn't
- 28:45Speaker 7: even open on Saturday, right?
- 28:46Speaker 8: I think they were closed Saturday or closed at some point.
- 28:49Speaker 7: They had to. Couldn't even get out of the place.
- 28:51Speaker 8: Yeah, it was bad wind all weekend.
- 28:53Speaker 7: Windy and rainy. So we're on the way home and
- 28:55Speaker 7: we're going, oh, this is going to be a horrible weekend.
- 28:58Speaker 7: Going to be horrible. Now, thank God, because I've had
- 29:01Speaker 7: leaks in my house since I bought the damn place.
- 29:04Speaker 7: I mean, Eddie with the roof and my buddy Richie
- 29:07Speaker 7: there who's doing more work in the house. Now, we've
- 29:09Speaker 7: got leaks all the time. Thank God we didn't get
- 29:11Speaker 7: clobbered this weekend. We had a little bit of a
- 29:13Speaker 7: leak in my daughter's room, but nothing terrible. But the streets, yesterday,
- 29:17Speaker 7: for example, I went to Walkloo to 129 to get bagels.
- 29:21Speaker 7: My guy, Muhammad, I love Muhammad. Rockaway Beach Bagels there
- 29:25Speaker 7: on 129, great place. And he's a great guy. And
- 29:28Speaker 7: I also decided to go next door to get cards
- 29:31Speaker 7: and flowers for Danielle. So I decided to take Cronston
- 29:35Speaker 7: back instead of Newport. And every single street from 130.
- 29:39Speaker 7: to 136 was flooded yep i couldn't get i couldn't
- 29:43Speaker 7: get home i'm wearing sweatpants and sandals it's about nine
- 29:49Speaker 7: o'clock sunday morning and i was miserable miserable And it
- 29:54Speaker 7: wasn't even all that bad compared to places like Nome
- 29:57Speaker 7: just talked about, New Jersey, Long Island. I guess the boroughs, though,
- 30:01Speaker 7: were okay. Is that right, Nome?
- 30:02Speaker 1: I think Howard Beach was hit.
- 30:04Speaker 7: Oh, Howard Beach got hit, yeah. Well, they're right by
- 30:06Speaker 7: the bay also, Jamaica Bay right there.
- 30:09Speaker 16: The problem was on Friday was the high tide coincided
- 30:13Speaker 16: with a full moon, which I don't completely understand the
- 30:17Speaker 16: science behind this, but that's always a huge problem. That's
- 30:20Speaker 16: why Sandy was so bad. was that also coincided with
- 30:23Speaker 16: the full moon. And so that's why you saw some
- 30:25Speaker 16: of the flooding was so bad over the weekend.
- 30:27Speaker 7: I kept thinking, here comes another Sandy. So, again, it's
- 30:30Speaker 7: coming back today, according to Norm. It won't be as
- 30:33Speaker 7: bad in terms of rain accumulation and wind, but bad
- 30:36Speaker 7: enough to be what I thought just now, driving in
- 30:39Speaker 7: with Gene and Lou at 4 o'clock in the morning, uncomfortable.
- 30:43Speaker 7: Is that fair to say, Norm?
- 30:44Speaker 14: Yeah.
- 30:44Speaker 1: Oh, definitely.
- 30:46Speaker 16: Unfortunately, there was this tragedy over the weekend, too, this
- 30:50Speaker 16: Guy who worked for NYCHA was out on the job
- 30:55Speaker 16: on Saturday, and a tree fell over and killed the guy.
- 30:58Speaker 1: I saw that. 56-year-old guy. Terrible.
- 31:00Speaker 10: Yeah.
- 31:01Speaker 7: You know, I moved to my cousin Linda's house in
- 31:03Speaker 7: South Florida when WFAN decided that it was over, which
- 31:08Speaker 7: it wasn't, but they decided it was over, in 2005.
- 31:11Speaker 7: And I loaded the car with Ava. She was a baby,
- 31:16Speaker 7: maybe a year. I don't know. Gabe wasn't even born yet.
- 31:19Speaker 7: And my dog, Lucy. And the other night I drove
- 31:21Speaker 7: down to Florida, and we got to my cousin Linda's house,
- 31:24Speaker 7: and George, he's since passed away, and they live in
- 31:27Speaker 7: Central Boca. And we got there literally a week before
- 31:31Speaker 7: Hurricane Wilma. I'll never forget this. I'm there for like
- 31:34Speaker 7: three or four days, and my cousin George says, hey,
- 31:37Speaker 7: can you help me today? And I said, help you
- 31:40Speaker 7: with what? He goes, you've got to put up the
- 31:42Speaker 7: hurricane shutters. I go, I'm Jewish. Hi, I'm your cousin Sid.
- 31:48Speaker 7: I can't change a light bulb. What do you mean
- 31:50Speaker 7: put up hurricane shutters? Are you nuts?
- 31:52Speaker 8: Can you see Sid going through Home Depot?
- 31:54Speaker 7: By the way, it's not like the ones where you
- 31:56Speaker 7: just kind of pull it down. Lou and Norm, you
- 31:58Speaker 7: kind of pull it down. These ought to be like
- 32:00Speaker 7: nailed in the wall. I've never touched a hammer in
- 32:04Speaker 7: my whole life.
- 32:05Speaker 8: That's a piece of cake.
- 32:06Speaker 7: Oh, my God. So what am I going to do?
- 32:08Speaker 7: Say no? I'm a guest at his house. Ended up
- 32:11Speaker 7: staying there for like three months. So long story short,
- 32:14Speaker 7: we do it, and it was surprisingly decent, decent, and
- 32:19Speaker 7: here comes Hurricane Wilma, and it was terrifying. I'm telling you, terrifying.
- 32:25Speaker 7: And in their neighborhood in Boca, during the calm, there's
- 32:29Speaker 7: a calm, the eye of the storm, one of their
- 32:31Speaker 7: neighbors walked outside to check the damage, and he got
- 32:35Speaker 7: hit by a tree and died. Same story. This is
- 32:39Speaker 7: on Hurricane Wilma. I only really went through one or two,
- 32:42Speaker 7: probably two, kind of rough hurricanes in Florida. I was
- 32:46Speaker 7: there for 16 years. I missed Hurricane Andrew, thank God.
- 32:49Speaker 7: Wilma was pretty bad, but about two, maybe three, that
- 32:53Speaker 7: you would consider kind of rough. And they call for
- 32:57Speaker 7: hurricanes almost every weekend, how that works. Publix loves that.
- 33:01Speaker 7: But we got off pretty easily down there in Florida.
- 33:04Speaker 7: But nevertheless, this is over after today. The weather looks
- 33:07Speaker 7: a lot better tomorrow for Yankee baseball, yes?
- 33:09Speaker 1: Yeah, beautiful tomorrow. Sunshine, 70 degrees.
- 33:11Speaker 7: All right. What else happened in the city over the weekend,
- 33:14Speaker 7: my friend?
- 33:15Speaker 1: That might have been the biggest.
- 33:16Speaker 16: That was easily far away the biggest story of the weekend.
- 33:19Speaker 16: I mean, internationally, we had this story out of the U.K.
- 33:22Speaker 16: that a terror plot was foiled.
- 33:25Speaker 7: Saw this.
- 33:26Speaker 16: And it was thanks to this farmer. This woman was
- 33:28Speaker 16: coming back from an overnight party. And she pulls up
- 33:32Speaker 16: to go towards her farm and she sees these three
- 33:34Speaker 16: white vans.
- 33:35Speaker 2: On the roadway.
- 33:35Speaker 7: You know, I saw this yesterday. Five terrorists, five would-be
- 33:38Speaker 7: terrorists with white vans.
- 33:40Speaker 11: Yeah.
- 33:41Speaker 7: You know, even in Times Square years and years ago,
- 33:45Speaker 7: we were about to get annihilated. Kind of like what
- 33:49Speaker 7: happened in Oklahoma City. And they pulled the van up
- 33:51Speaker 7: and that's how they got caught. So the terrorists, for
- 33:55Speaker 7: as smart as they think they are, every time they
- 33:57Speaker 7: pull a couple of vans up, They're basically telling everybody there,
- 34:02Speaker 7: call the FBI. The vans give it away every time, though. Yeah,
- 34:05Speaker 7: and it's always the white vans. Like, maybe they should
- 34:08Speaker 7: use a different color under the cover of darkness. Not
- 34:10Speaker 7: a bad idea, right?
- 34:11Speaker 16: Yeah, so they were right outside this air base that
- 34:14Speaker 16: the U.S. military has been using to facilitate strikes on Iran.
- 34:18Speaker 16: And this woman saw them. She did exactly the right thing.
- 34:21Speaker 16: She turned around. She called the cops. She went on
- 34:24Speaker 16: to WhatsApp. She alerted her neighbors. There's these weird guys
- 34:27Speaker 16: wearing hoods in the neighborhood. Police race in. They grab
- 34:30Speaker 16: these four or five men. They haven't told us exactly
- 34:33Speaker 16: who they are or what they were up to, but
- 34:35Speaker 16: the thought is that they may have some connection to Iran.
- 34:39Speaker 7: I saw that. Terrorists, Iran, and I don't know. I
- 34:42Speaker 7: think one of them is Mamdani's cousin. I just made
- 34:46Speaker 7: that up. I only wish that was the case. How
- 34:49Speaker 7: great would that be? So anyway, they did foil that.
- 34:52Speaker 7: That's the news. What about the China stuff? I know
- 34:55Speaker 7: they met. And they seem to get along so well
- 34:59Speaker 7: that all the tariff talk is gone now, right?
- 35:01Speaker 16: Yeah, and today we're going to hear apparently about what
- 35:04Speaker 16: trade agreements were made between President Trump and Xi Jinping.
- 35:09Speaker 1: That's what they've told us.
- 35:09Speaker 16: So the trade representatives say that much of this new
- 35:12Speaker 16: agreement has been signed off on and that they'll announce
- 35:15Speaker 16: some of what has been signed off on a little
- 35:18Speaker 16: bit later today.
- 35:18Speaker 1: So we don't know exactly what happened, but we do
- 35:20Speaker 1: know those two agreements.
- 35:22Speaker 16: Giant pandas that were promised by President Xi Jinping.
- 35:25Speaker 7: I'm begging you.
- 35:26Speaker 1: They arrived in the U.S. yesterday.
- 35:28Speaker 7: Please.
- 35:28Speaker 1: And they're going to be in a zoo in Atlanta.
- 35:30Speaker 7: In Atlanta? Mm-hmm. Nice zoo in Atlanta. I've been there
- 35:33Speaker 7: to see you know. Not as nice as San Diego,
- 35:35Speaker 7: but nice.
- 35:35Speaker 8: Did you see this great story, though, over the weekend
- 35:37Speaker 8: with Justin Verlander?
- 35:39Speaker 7: He retired.
- 35:42Speaker 8: So he walked off. They took him out of the game.
- 35:45Speaker 8: His daughter comes running out and takes him off the mound.
- 35:49Speaker 7: How old is the daughter?
- 35:51Speaker 8: I think she's not even. Maybe 10 or 12.
- 35:54Speaker 7: Well, it was an unbelievable season. And he went back
- 35:57Speaker 7: to Detroit to pitch this last season. He was a
- 36:00Speaker 7: tremendous Tiger pitcher. He was great for the Astros, too.
- 36:04Speaker 7: Actually pitched for the Mets for a short time. We
- 36:06Speaker 7: started the season a couple of years ago with him
- 36:09Speaker 7: and the guy who went to Texas. What's his name?
- 36:11Speaker 7: Big-time pitcher, too.
- 36:13Speaker 10: DeGrom?
- 36:13Speaker 7: No, not DeGrom. DeGrom did go to Texas.
- 36:16Speaker 10: Yeah.
- 36:16Speaker 7: The other guy we got, he was a Cy Young
- 36:18Speaker 7: Award winner a couple of times. Scherzer. We had Scherzer
- 36:20Speaker 7: and Verlander who were going to be great. And neither
- 36:23Speaker 7: one lasted the whole season, I don't think. Scherzer may
- 36:25Speaker 7: have lasted one year. But nevertheless, Justin Verlander, one of
- 36:28Speaker 7: the all-time greats. And he was with Kate Hudson. Not
- 36:31Speaker 7: Kate Hudson.
- 36:32Speaker 2: Kate Upton.
- 36:33Speaker 7: Kate Upton.
- 36:34Speaker 8: That's his wife now.
- 36:34Speaker 7: They are married.
- 36:35Speaker 2: Yes.
- 36:36Speaker 7: Is that little girl their child?
- 36:37Speaker 13: Yes.
- 36:38Speaker 11: Wow.
- 36:38Speaker 8: I think so, yeah.
- 36:39Speaker 7: Oh, that's cute. That's like a Kevin Costner movie.
- 36:42Speaker 8: Yeah, it was a great scene. He deserved it.
- 36:43Speaker 7: Remember that movie Kevin Costner made years ago, The Love
- 36:47Speaker 7: of the Game? It's a good movie. And his love
- 36:50Speaker 7: interest was Kelly Preston, who was married to John Travolta
- 36:55Speaker 7: and tragically died very young of cancer. You guys remember that?
- 36:58Speaker 7: But he was a pitcher for the Detroit Tigers. How
- 37:02Speaker 7: about that? Justin Verlander calling it quits. Well, let me
- 37:06Speaker 7: get to... Iran, the Strait of Hormuz, what's the latest
- 37:09Speaker 7: with that, Noam?
- 37:10Speaker 16: So Iran put forward this seven-day peace proposal that was
- 37:14Speaker 16: shot down pretty much right away by.
- 37:16Speaker 1: The White House. They were asking the U.S. to waive
- 37:19Speaker 1: sanctions on Iranian oil sales.
- 37:21Speaker 16: And release, let's say, about $ 12 billion in frozen Iranian assets.
- 37:26Speaker 1: And they said on the.
- 37:27Speaker 16: Final day, if a number of other things were done,
- 37:29Speaker 16: but that was the big one they wanted, they would
- 37:31Speaker 16: then open the Strait of Hormuz to international shipping and
- 37:35Speaker 16: restart some of these stalled negotiations regarding their nuclear program.
- 37:41Speaker 16: Right away, the White House said, no, this is not
- 37:43Speaker 16: even close to the deal that we want to make
- 37:45Speaker 16: with you, but we're open to talking again.
- 37:48Speaker 1: So maybe the two sides will talk again this week.
- 37:50Speaker 7: You know, I mentioned terrorists and Mahmoud, excuse me, Mamdani.
- 37:54Speaker 7: Mamdani's butt buddy there, Mahmoud Khalil, the campus terrorist who
- 37:59Speaker 7: should be deported. I have no idea what the issue is.
- 38:01Speaker 7: I really don't. But he's a terrorist. And he made
- 38:05Speaker 7: a lot of kids, a lot of nice college kids,
- 38:08Speaker 7: really miserable. Because he's a lowlife and a terrorist. That's
- 38:12Speaker 7: what he is. So he was bitching to somebody on
- 38:16Speaker 7: MS Now how he was an experiment and how he's
- 38:19Speaker 7: been mistreated and all he wants to do is... stick
- 38:22Speaker 7: up for the Palestinian people. He's a lying piece of garbage.
- 38:26Speaker 7: I'd love to punch Khalil right across the face. I
- 38:29Speaker 7: really would. So here is part of his interview. This
- 38:31Speaker 7: is cut number seven. Campus terrorist Mahmoud Khalil actually looking
- 38:37Speaker 7: for sympathy. Cut number seven.
- 38:39Speaker 18: I felt betrayed in a way that I never did
- 38:43Speaker 18: anything wrong.
- 38:45Speaker 7: As they say, I did it the right way. I
- 38:46Speaker 7: came here on a student visa.
- 38:49Speaker 18: And then I married a U.S.
- 38:51Speaker 10: Citizen.
- 38:52Speaker 7: I never committed a crime.
- 38:54Speaker 18: Nothing, you know, nothing I would say like crazy I did,
- 38:57Speaker 18: even with protesting. Like I was protesting a genocide.
- 39:01Speaker 7: No genocide.
- 39:01Speaker 10: Like me, there were.
- 39:03Speaker 18: tens of thousands of american students across u.s colleges who
- 39:07Speaker 18: did the same thing that i did brainwashed um yet
- 39:10Speaker 18: i was punished because i shut up.
- 39:12Speaker 7: Enough for him so then i'm walking out of the u.n
- 39:14Speaker 7: a couple days ago after bb netanyahu crushed mom donnie
- 39:19Speaker 7: he knocked him out like a young mike tyson you
- 39:22Speaker 7: saw it Noam. It was a left and a right.
- 39:26Speaker 7: Netanyahu taking down Mamdani. So there's a young kid in town,
- 39:31Speaker 7: and he's a lefty. but he's got a pretty big
- 39:35Speaker 7: Internet personality, a pretty big Internet presence. You've probably heard
- 39:40Speaker 7: of this kid. His name is Timmy Bacciola. You ever
- 39:44Speaker 7: know him?
- 39:44Speaker 10: Sure.
- 39:45Speaker 7: Nice kid. You know, when you walk up to him,
- 39:47Speaker 7: he looks like a complete dweeb. That's not bad. He's
- 39:50Speaker 7: got glasses. He looks like a nice boy. I shouldn't
- 39:54Speaker 7: say dweeb. He looks like a nice boy, you know.
- 39:57Speaker 7: But he goes on Twitter, and he's beating the hell
- 39:59Speaker 7: out of me all the time. calling me all kinds
- 40:02Speaker 7: of names because I'm too critical of the mayor. So
- 40:06Speaker 7: what are the odds, Norm, that I would walk out
- 40:07Speaker 7: of the United Nations on Thursday afternoon after B.B. 's speech,
- 40:12Speaker 7: and the first person I see is Timmy Patel?
- 40:15Speaker 1: That's pretty funny.
- 40:16Speaker 7: What are the odds?
- 40:16Speaker 1: I would say, yeah, a thousand to one.
- 40:18Speaker 7: And, of course, he's got a little camera guy in
- 40:21Speaker 7: his buddy, and he wants to talk to me. So
- 40:24Speaker 7: I go to it, buddy, and other people are watching this.
- 40:26Speaker 7: I go, you got to love the balls on this guy.
- 40:29Speaker 7: All this guy does is beat the hell out of
- 40:31Speaker 7: me on Twitter. That's all he does. And now he
- 40:33Speaker 7: wants to talk to me and he's being so nice
- 40:35Speaker 7: to me. I said, Timmy, why don't you just admit
- 40:38Speaker 7: on Twitter right now with all of your constant criticism,
- 40:41Speaker 7: you actually like me, don't you? Don't you? And he
- 40:44Speaker 7: smiled and he giggled and he laughed. He didn't say no,
- 40:47Speaker 7: but here was the ensuing conversation, Rosenberg and Baciola, outside
- 40:53Speaker 7: the U.N. last Thursday after Netanyahu delivered a knockout punch
- 40:58Speaker 7: to Mamdani. Cut number eight.
- 41:02Speaker 8: What was your reaction?
- 41:04Speaker 10: BB's speech? Yes.
- 41:06Speaker 11: Incredible.
- 41:06Speaker 7: Tremendous speech.
- 41:08Speaker 4: Strong.
- 41:09Speaker 7: I thought he had to... You got to talk about
- 41:11Speaker 7: a few things.
- 41:12Speaker 19: Your friend, the guy you love, this creepy anti-Semite mayor,
- 41:15Speaker 19: this piece of garbage.
- 41:17Speaker 7: And Trump doesn't love him. I know they're together on Monday.
- 41:19Speaker 7: They've been together. They're smiling. He doesn't love him. Okay,
- 41:21Speaker 7: stop that nonsense. He does what he has to do
- 41:22Speaker 7: to fix New York. So he went after Mamdani, called
- 41:25Speaker 7: him anti-Semite, which he is.
- 41:27Speaker 19: He spoke to the people in Israel when they got
- 41:29Speaker 19: ready to vote for him.
- 41:30Speaker 7: He talked about Iran. And he thanked President Trump. I
- 41:33Speaker 7: think overall, that was a very strong 45 minute great speech.
- 41:37Speaker 20: Do you think what do you think about the idea
- 41:39Speaker 20: of a foreign leader coming here to bash on the
- 41:41Speaker 20: mayor of New York City?
- 41:42Speaker 7: No, no, no, no. Don't do that to me. Don't
- 41:44Speaker 7: do that.
- 41:45Speaker 10: Sorry.
- 41:45Speaker 7: That's a Melissa. What am I missing? He didn't come
- 41:48Speaker 7: here to bash on him. Who's the guy that started
- 41:50Speaker 7: it to me? Who's the guy that's been saying arrest
- 41:52Speaker 7: Bibi Netanyahu.
- 41:53Speaker 10: For a year?
- 41:53Speaker 7: Who's the guy that's been saying he's a war criminal?
- 41:55Speaker 7: That's nonsense. That's not true. There's no proof of that.
- 41:58Speaker 7: Who's this proof? The Palestinian health ministry that's run by Hamas.
- 42:02Speaker 7: Who's been calling them genocide?
- 42:03Speaker 20: I mean, there's a lot of experts, including a lot
- 42:05Speaker 20: of Jewish genocide experts who have called it a genocide, right?
- 42:07Speaker 7: I don't care what they say. They all hate the Jews.
- 42:10Speaker 2: When you consume somebody.
- 42:11Speaker 7: Do Jewish experts hate the Jews? Yes, Jewish experts hate
- 42:13Speaker 7: the Jews. There are Jews that are self-hating Jews, okay?
- 42:15Speaker 7: There's no proof of genocide, that he's a war criminal.
- 42:18Speaker 7: Don't tell me about Bibi coming here when it's the
- 42:21Speaker 7: mayor that's been attacking Bibi relentless from day one.
- 42:24Speaker 2: Think Bibi gives a s * * * about this?
- 42:26Speaker 7: He's out there trying to defeat Hezbollah in Lebanon. He's
- 42:28Speaker 7: trying to stop Iran. He's trying to stop Hamas and Gaza.
- 42:31Speaker 7: He's got real issues. This mayor is allowing this city
- 42:34Speaker 7: to go into the dumps. He hasn't done one good
- 42:36Speaker 7: thing yet, not one. He picks one pothole, and he
- 42:39Speaker 7: spends his days and nights talking about Bibi. Don't tell
- 42:41Speaker 7: me what Bibi did. The guy who started it is
- 42:43Speaker 7: Mayor Mamdani, not Bibi. No buts.
- 42:46Speaker 20: No, but if Bibi's got so much to focus on,
- 42:48Speaker 20: why is he wasting breath talking about the mayor?
- 42:50Speaker 7: Because he's here in New York City, and the mayor
- 42:52Speaker 7: doesn't stop. And when the mayor of New.
- 42:54Speaker 19: York City, which has the largest Jewish population outside of
- 42:57Speaker 19: Israel and the world, spends his days and nights crushing
- 42:59Speaker 19: Israel and the Jews, it's worth mentioning, yes.
- 43:03Speaker 7: Ah, I think I kicked his ass right there.
- 43:04Speaker 2: Right?
- 43:05Speaker 7: Another Melissa Russo beating. What do you think?
- 43:07Speaker 1: He's sorry that he stopped you.
- 43:08Speaker 10: Yeah.
- 43:09Speaker 8: Oh, my God. That poor kid.
- 43:10Speaker 7: I don't know why these people do that. And I
- 43:13Speaker 7: say this all the time. This is why I should
- 43:14Speaker 7: always be on the news. Like, Morgan McKay never talks
- 43:18Speaker 7: to me. They talk to Rabbi Potashnik. I love Joe Potashnik.
- 43:22Speaker 7: He's a sweetheart. He's the nicest guy ever. Do you
- 43:25Speaker 7: think he's going to deliver a beatdown like that to anybody? Honestly, no.
- 43:29Speaker 3: Do you?
- 43:29Speaker 10: No.
- 43:30Speaker 7: Sweet guy. Great guy. I love him.
- 43:31Speaker 10: Why.
- 43:32Speaker 7: They don't talk to me. This is why. Morgan Mackay
- 43:35Speaker 7: and Marsha Kramer and Katie Honan.
- 43:38Speaker 17: Why?
- 43:39Speaker 7: Because I'm going to make you look like an idiot.
- 43:41Speaker 7: I did it to Melissa Russo, NBC, at the Israeli
- 43:44Speaker 7: Day Parade, and I did it to Timmy right.
- 43:46Speaker 17: There, did I not?
- 43:47Speaker 16: Yeah, well, Timmy, like I said, was sorry that he
- 43:49Speaker 16: had stopped you after that.
- 43:51Speaker 7: I would think he would be. He'll never admit to that,
- 43:53Speaker 7: but you'd think he would be. Anything else here on
- 43:55Speaker 7: the way out, Norm? It's been a great opening segment.
- 43:57Speaker 16: There was an interesting moment over the weekend. This thing
- 44:00Speaker 16: has been shared about a billion times. The New York
- 44:02Speaker 16: Times went to about a thousand different people in the
- 44:05Speaker 16: TV industry, writers, creators, actors, and they asked them to
- 44:08Speaker 16: come up with the top 100 TV shows of the
- 44:12Speaker 16: 21st century. And the list is pretty interesting. It's been
- 44:15Speaker 16: shared about a billion times. You want to hear what
- 44:17Speaker 16: the top ten were that they picked?
- 44:19Speaker 7: Well, give me hints for each of them, and we'll
- 44:21Speaker 7: do it that way.
- 44:22Speaker 1: Number ten you'll never get.
- 44:23Speaker 16: It's like when you hear number ten, you're like, yeah,
- 44:25Speaker 16: it's the New York Times creating this list.
- 44:28Speaker 1: But number ten is.
- 44:28Speaker 16: Atlanta, which I had never heard of before, but it's
- 44:31Speaker 16: a drama.
- 44:31Speaker 7: Me either.
- 44:32Speaker 16: But after that, these are all shows for sure you've
- 44:34Speaker 16: heard of.
- 44:35Speaker 7: Number nine.
- 44:36Speaker 1: Do you want me to give you a hint or
- 44:37Speaker 1: just go through them?
- 44:38Speaker 7: No, give me a hint.
- 44:39Speaker 1: Oh, this is going to be an easy hint. Larry David.
- 44:41Speaker 7: Curb Your Enthusiasm, yeah. No, Seinfeld.
- 44:46Speaker 1: No, Curb Your Enthusiasm. Anything in the 21st century. 30
- 44:50Speaker 1: Rock was after that.
- 44:52Speaker 7: Veep.
- 44:53Speaker 1: And then Game of Thrones. And then you get to
- 44:55Speaker 1: your top five.
- 44:56Speaker 7: Top five. Give me hints here.
- 44:58Speaker 16: This one you'll never get. It's an English series, but
- 45:00Speaker 16: a very good one if you haven't seen it. It's
- 45:02Speaker 16: called Fleabag.
- 45:03Speaker 7: No, no one saw that. Not in America.
- 45:06Speaker 1: No, Fleabag's great. You want to watch it.
- 45:07Speaker 7: It's really good. I still watch the Benny Hill show.
- 45:10Speaker 1: Yeah. It's a comedy, but not that kind of comedy.
- 45:15Speaker 7: Number four. Give me a hint.
- 45:17Speaker 1: It is about a famous family that owns a TV empire.
- 45:22Speaker 7: Oh, that would be.
- 45:24Speaker 8: The hip hop.
- 45:26Speaker 7: I don't even know.
- 45:27Speaker 10: What is it? Succession.
- 45:28Speaker 7: Oh, yeah. That show bored the hell out of me.
- 45:30Speaker 7: Everybody loved that show. It was boring. Number three.
- 45:35Speaker 16: Now, the top three you might agree with. This was
- 45:37Speaker 16: a TV show about the advertising industry in the late 60s,
- 45:41Speaker 16: early 70s.
- 45:42Speaker 8: Mad Men.
- 45:42Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 45:44Speaker 1: This one took place in Baltimore.
- 45:47Speaker 16: It was a police detective series.
- 45:50Speaker 10: The Shield.
- 45:51Speaker 2: The Wire.
- 45:52Speaker 11: Oh, The Wire.
- 45:53Speaker 7: Right.
- 45:54Speaker 1: And then number one. Just take a guess. What do
- 45:57Speaker 1: you think is the number?
- 45:57Speaker 7: Sopranos.
- 45:59Speaker 1: Well, Sopranos was not the 21st century. The first season
- 46:02Speaker 1: was 1999, so they didn't make the list.
- 46:04Speaker 7: But think along.
- 46:07Speaker 16: You'll probably agree that this is the best show of
- 46:09Speaker 16: the 21st century.
- 46:11Speaker 1: Think drama.
- 46:13Speaker 7: I don't know.
- 46:13Speaker 8: I still need a hint.
- 46:15Speaker 7: I need a hint. Is there an actor or something?
- 46:17Speaker 1: If I give you the actor, you'll know right away.
- 46:19Speaker 14: Oh, um.
- 46:20Speaker 7: Well, give me the actor. I'll try.
- 46:22Speaker 1: Brian Cranston.
- 46:23Speaker 7: Yeah, I was going to say, the one with the drugs.
- 46:25Speaker 1: Breaking Bad.
- 46:25Speaker 7: Breaking Bad, yeah. That's fine.
- 46:28Speaker 8: I like it.
- 46:29Speaker 7: It was a great show.
- 46:30Speaker 10: Unbelievable.
- 46:30Speaker 7: Probably second to Sopranos. Yeah. I did like Sex and
- 46:34Speaker 7: the City, I'm not going to lie. Which is really gay,
- 46:37Speaker 7: but I loved it. I even went to the movies
- 46:39Speaker 7: to see the actual movies of that show.
- 46:41Speaker 1: Oh, come on.
- 46:42Speaker 7: Yeah, that was really gay. And I enjoyed it. Wow.
- 46:44Speaker 7: And I enjoyed it. And I met Chris Noth once.
- 46:46Speaker 7: I'm like, hey, Mr. Big, it's so cool to meet you.
- 46:48Speaker 10: Oh, no.
- 46:49Speaker 7: At Teddy Adams' event on Staten Island. So gay.
- 46:51Speaker 1: That's hysterical.
- 46:52Speaker 17: I know.
- 46:53Speaker 7: I like the show. What can I tell you?
- 46:54Speaker 8: You find it in with anybody, man.
- 46:56Speaker 7: No, but now later on, because I despise Cynthia Nixon.
- 47:00Speaker 7: She played a lesbian on the show. Turns out she's
- 47:03Speaker 7: not a lesbian. She's just a douchebag. She ran for governor.
- 47:06Speaker 7: You know her. She's anti-everything, good for America. So now
- 47:09Speaker 7: I can't watch that because of her. And I think
- 47:11Speaker 7: Sarah Jessica Parker is also an idiot in terms of her,
- 47:16Speaker 7: you know, political philosophies and all that stuff. So anyway,
- 47:20Speaker 7: I don't watch that stuff anymore.
- 47:21Speaker 10: I'm done. Yeah.
- 47:23Speaker 2: I don't watch.
- 47:23Speaker 7: Really any TV shows. I watch sports. You know, I'm
- 47:26Speaker 7: almost done with Fox News at this point. I love Sean.
- 47:29Speaker 7: I love Mark. I love Brian, but I can't watch
- 47:32Speaker 7: the weekend show anymore. I'm pissed at them because they
- 47:34Speaker 7: banned me for nonsense. They banned me for complete nonsense.
- 47:38Speaker 7: I told Trump, you know.
- 47:39Speaker 2: What did he say?
- 47:40Speaker 7: I'm not going to tell you what he said. I
- 47:43Speaker 7: told Trump a couple of things this weekend, a couple
- 47:48Speaker 7: on Saturday morning. He was on the way, believe it
- 47:50Speaker 7: or not, President Trump, to watch the Tennessee-Texas game, a
- 47:55Speaker 7: game in which Texas held on. with Arch Manning, a
- 47:58Speaker 7: quarterback to beat Tennessee. He was on his way to
- 48:01Speaker 7: the game, and I told him a couple of things
- 48:03Speaker 7: about my life, very personal.
- 48:06Speaker 1: And did he respond?
- 48:07Speaker 10: I can't tell you that.
- 48:08Speaker 7: But he knows.
- 48:09Speaker 1: Wait, you can tell me if he responded.
- 48:11Speaker 7: No, I can't.
- 48:12Speaker 1: What did you tell him?
- 48:13Speaker 7: Well, that I can't tell you.
- 48:14Speaker 1: Like, very personal. Give me a hint. Like, just sort
- 48:17Speaker 1: of what it was about. Like, was it about raising kids?
- 48:21Speaker 12: No.
- 48:22Speaker 1: Was it about your job here at the radio station?
- 48:26Speaker 17: Maybe.
- 48:27Speaker 10: Interesting.
- 48:27Speaker 7: I don't want to get into it. But President Trump
- 48:30Speaker 7: knows a lot of stuff about me. That's all I'm
- 48:32Speaker 7: going to say.
- 48:33Speaker 1: But did you ask the president to negotiate?
- 48:36Speaker 7: I can't talk about that. All I can tell you
- 48:38Speaker 7: is he had a good time at the college football game.
- 48:40Speaker 7: They had to put up bulletproof glass. Did you see that, Noam?
- 48:44Speaker 10: Yeah.
- 48:44Speaker 7: They had to put up bulletproof glass at the Tennessee game.
- 48:47Speaker 7: And I couldn't wait to watch the national anthem. I
- 48:50Speaker 7: watch all the games anyway. And that game particularly was
- 48:52Speaker 7: a big game. And I couldn't wait to watch the
- 48:54Speaker 7: national anthem to see my president. They never showed him. Now,
- 48:57Speaker 7: on ESPN Game Day, which is a three-hour pregame show
- 49:01Speaker 7: every morning, which I really enjoy. I love all of them.
- 49:04Speaker 7: Kirk Herbstreet, Desmond Howard, Nick Saban, even Pat McAfee. And
- 49:09Speaker 7: I forget the host's name, but he's good. Or maybe Fowler. No,
- 49:13Speaker 7: it's not Fowler. I forget the guy's name. It's not Fowler.
- 49:16Speaker 7: It used to be. But at any rate, Pat McAfee
- 49:18Speaker 7: made a couple of mentions. that President Trump was on
- 49:21Speaker 7: his way there because they did that show that morning
- 49:24Speaker 7: from Tennessee. But they never showed him when the game started.
- 49:27Speaker 16: So when you texted him, was it like a back
- 49:30Speaker 16: and forth? Did he get back to you right away?
- 49:32Speaker 16: Or was there like a downtime between the time you texted.
- 49:34Speaker 1: Him and he got back to you?
- 49:37Speaker 7: Caroline Schenkel. No, you can tell me that much. John Heyman.
- 49:40Speaker 10: Come on.
- 49:40Speaker 7: Bruce Blakeman. Bucky Dent.
- 49:42Speaker 1: John Gazzamatidis. Did he get back to you three or
- 49:45Speaker 1: four times?
- 49:46Speaker 7: And more. It is the Monday edition.
- 49:50Speaker 21: Sid and Friends in the Morning on the Red Apple
- 49:53Speaker 21: Podcast Network.
- 49:56Speaker 7: Glenn Hansard.
- 49:57Speaker 8: Hansard, yeah.
- 49:58Speaker 7: I guess that was this weekend, right?
- 50:00Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 50:01Speaker 7: He did a surprise show. That's so cool. From the
- 50:04Speaker 7: balcony of Bully's Cafe on Grafton Street in Dublin to
- 50:09Speaker 7: more 50 years. 50 years of Bono. How old is Bono?
- 50:14Speaker 7: He's in his 70s, clearly.
- 50:15Speaker 8: I think so.
- 50:16Speaker 7: He looks great still. I saw a video of him
- 50:18Speaker 7: this weekend. He must have been from this.
- 50:20Speaker 8: They trace it back to Larry Mullen placing an ad up.
- 50:26Speaker 8: Drummer seeks a band.
- 50:28Speaker 7: So Larry Mullen Jr. started the band?
- 50:30Speaker 8: Well, that's one of their... The landmarks are going back.
- 50:34Speaker 7: Wow. I feel like we should honor you two today
- 50:37Speaker 7: with a bunch of U2 songs in 50 years. I
- 50:40Speaker 7: don't need an excuse to play U2, but I mean.
- 50:43Speaker 8: Yeah, I'm trying to look for the quote again.
- 50:45Speaker 7: Is that the greatest Irish contribution?
- 50:49Speaker 6: Right.
- 50:49Speaker 8: I think so, sure.
- 50:50Speaker 7: You think so?
- 50:51Speaker 4: No.
- 50:52Speaker 8: For music?
- 50:53Speaker 2: For bands?
- 50:53Speaker 7: Well, not for anything. Was it St. Patrick? Is it?
- 50:56Speaker 7: I mean, you guys didn't create beer. You just drink
- 50:59Speaker 7: the most.
- 51:00Speaker 14: Okay.
- 51:00Speaker 2: Well, St.
- 51:01Speaker 8: Patrick did. more than I think.
- 51:03Speaker 7: Some of these.
- 51:04Speaker 8: Bono?
- 51:04Speaker 7: Yeah, I think so. I don't know, bro.
- 51:06Speaker 8: Okay, I think bringing Christianity to Ireland, like, is a
- 51:09Speaker 8: pretty big thing.
- 51:10Speaker 7: Bono?
- 51:11Speaker 2: I don't know.
- 51:12Speaker 7: I don't know. I don't know, bro. You're not crazy, but...
- 51:16Speaker 7: Talk like it's not. You can't compare it. It's kind
- 51:19Speaker 7: of silly.
- 51:20Speaker 8: First, I think he was captive someplace, and then he escaped,
- 51:23Speaker 8: and then he had to get to Ireland.
- 51:24Speaker 7: All right, fine. It's a good story. So what?
- 51:26Speaker 8: Okay, good.
- 51:27Speaker 10: Yeah, I know.
- 51:27Speaker 7: He didn't do Pride. He didn't do Unforgettable Fire.
- 51:30Speaker 10: No.
- 51:31Speaker 7: I think Bono. I think the greatest Irishman ever is Bono.
- 51:36Speaker 8: Well, Van Morrison's going to have something to say.
- 51:38Speaker 7: Oh, screw Van Morrison. I love Van. He's great, but
- 51:43Speaker 7: I'm taking Bernie McGurk over Van Morrison. How about that?
- 51:45Speaker 8: I will take him, too.
- 51:46Speaker 7: Yeah, not over Bono, though.
- 51:47Speaker 12: No.
- 51:48Speaker 7: Bono is the closest thing to Jesus on this planet.
- 51:51Speaker 7: Everybody knows that. Right, Noam? Yeah.
- 51:54Speaker 10: Yeah.
- 51:54Speaker 7: Even Noam knows it. Well, congratulations to you, too, on
- 51:57Speaker 7: 50 years of music genius and Thank you for all
- 52:02Speaker 7: that you do, not just for the Irish community, but
- 52:05Speaker 7: for all of us. Thank you. Don't forget, it was
- 52:07Speaker 7: you too, even though they, you know, they're nice to
- 52:10Speaker 7: the pro-Palestinian losers. They were the ones who changed the
- 52:14Speaker 7: lyrics first, even before my friend John Andrzejczyk did it,
- 52:18Speaker 7: by providing to Pride in the name of love to
- 52:23Speaker 7: the October 7th instead of the MLK assassination.
- 52:26Speaker 17: Right.
- 52:26Speaker 7: You remember that?
- 52:27Speaker 12: Of course.
- 52:27Speaker 8: Drummer seeks musicians to form bands.
- 52:30Speaker 7: That's fantastic.
- 52:31Speaker 8: On the note board at Mount Temple in September of 76.
- 52:35Speaker 7: So he started it. Did Ringo Starr start the Beatles? No.
- 52:40Speaker 8: Ringo Starr wasn't even in the Beatles.
- 52:42Speaker 4: Right.
- 52:42Speaker 7: So who started those guys? Was that Lennon?
- 52:45Speaker 2: No.
- 52:46Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 52:46Speaker 8: Lennon McCartney met in school.
- 52:48Speaker 2: Okay.
- 52:48Speaker 8: And then I think George Harrison found them.
- 52:52Speaker 7: And he was not the original drummer, Ringo.
- 52:55Speaker 18: Yeah.
- 52:55Speaker 7: Pete Best.
- 52:56Speaker 2: Pete Best.
- 52:56Speaker 7: Oh, very nice. Look at Lou. Lou's the best. Talking
- 52:59Speaker 7: about the best. Lou's the best, Pete Best. We'll take
- 53:01Speaker 7: a short break. A lot of great guests to come.
- 53:03Speaker 8: I see what you did there.
- 53:04Speaker 7: See what I did? Caroline Schenkel. I like Caroline. I
- 53:07Speaker 7: like her mother, Carolyn, also. She's running for the seat
- 53:11Speaker 7: that Jerry Nadler used to have. We've got to get
- 53:14Speaker 7: Caroline to win. It is really important. Caroline will join
- 53:18Speaker 7: us coming up. John Heyman will do a big baseball segment.
- 53:21Speaker 7: with the best baseball guy in the country, as the
- 53:24Speaker 7: New York Yankees get set to start their postseason, hosting
- 53:28Speaker 7: the Boston Red Sox game one tomorrow night. I'll be there.
- 53:31Speaker 21: Sid and friends in the morning on the Red Apple
- 53:35Speaker 21: Podcast Network.
- 53:37Speaker 7: The Siller family made sure he did not die in vain,
- 53:41Speaker 7: and they've done a tremendous job the last 25 years.
- 53:45Speaker 7: So yesterday was the annual... 5k run walk for tunnel
- 53:51Speaker 7: to towers and the weather was miserable yesterday morning i'm
- 53:56Speaker 7: telling you man i was walking to the store and
- 53:58Speaker 7: it was like rainy and really windy and i was
- 54:02Speaker 7: worried for my friend frank so i put on fox
- 54:06Speaker 7: news over the weekend even though i don't watch it
- 54:08Speaker 7: anymore because they banned me so i banned them screw
- 54:10Speaker 7: them what do i care The show has never been
- 54:13Speaker 7: as good as when I was on. That's right. You
- 54:15Speaker 7: want to text Rebecca, not Rebecca, Rachel Campos Duffy and
- 54:20Speaker 7: Griff Jenkins and Charlie, what is his name, Hurt, right now?
- 54:24Speaker 7: The show is boring without me.
- 54:26Speaker 10: Boring.
- 54:27Speaker 7: But I did put it on yesterday to see what
- 54:28Speaker 7: was going on with the 5K run and walk. And
- 54:32Speaker 7: I was happy to see it went off. In fact,
- 54:35Speaker 7: there was a lot of Frank Siller, Guy Fieri. Is
- 54:39Speaker 7: that his name, Lou? Yes. From the Food Channel?
- 54:42Speaker 8: Yes, Fieri.
- 54:43Speaker 7: And what's his name from Barstool? Dave Portnoy. The three
- 54:47Speaker 7: of them were kind of the stars. Siller, Portnoy, and Fieri.
- 54:51Speaker 7: And according to those guys, even with the lousy weather yesterday, 45,000
- 54:57Speaker 7: showed up. 45,000! So congratulations to all the New Yorkers who,
- 55:04Speaker 7: despite the rough weather, went out there yesterday. And did
- 55:09Speaker 7: that run, which was a great cause. Tunnel to Towers,
- 55:15Speaker 7: 5K run and walk. I did it years ago when
- 55:18Speaker 7: Leslie Slender was still here. And Dominic did it that day.
- 55:22Speaker 7: And Greg Kelly. All Greg Kelly wanted to do was
- 55:24Speaker 7: beat me. And he did because Greg Kelly is like
- 55:27Speaker 7: a Marine. Greg is the real deal. And he was
- 55:32Speaker 7: so into beating me that day. And he did it easily.
- 55:35Speaker 7: But that was the only time I did it. But
- 55:37Speaker 7: it wasn't. It was an awesome day. It was sunny
- 55:39Speaker 7: and beautiful, and I'm glad I did do it. So
- 55:42Speaker 7: thank you to New York for once again showing up
- 55:45Speaker 7: big yesterday for Frank Siller and Tunnel to Towers. We're
- 55:49Speaker 7: going to talk baseball with John Heyman. I think Heyman
- 55:52Speaker 7: of the New York Post and MLB.com is the best
- 55:55Speaker 7: baseball guy in the country. And again, the Yankees start
- 55:58Speaker 7: their postseason tomorrow night. I'll be there in the Bronx
- 56:01Speaker 7: taking on the Boston Red Sox. Before we do that,
- 56:04Speaker 7: I got a big night coming up Wednesday. I do this...
- 56:07Speaker 7: For only people that I really like. I get asked
- 56:10Speaker 7: every day to go to an event. Every day. Every day.
- 56:13Speaker 7: Danielle yells at me, no, no, no. So I did
- 56:16Speaker 7: something for Joe Hernandez. He's running for Comptroller against Annapolis
- 56:20Speaker 7: about two months ago. And it was at Dorian's. And
- 56:23Speaker 7: I'm doing it again. Going back to Dorian's on Wednesday
- 56:26Speaker 7: night for this lady, who I think is really terrific.
- 56:29Speaker 7: I really do. She's running for that old Joey Nadler seat.
- 56:33Speaker 7: I love her. I love her mother. And I think
- 56:35Speaker 7: she'd be a tremendous, tremendous positive for New York. We've
- 56:42Speaker 7: got a bunch of really lousy politicians who don't care
- 56:45Speaker 7: about us. Caroline Schenkel cares about us. So if you
- 56:49Speaker 7: want to see us Wednesday night, Dorians, I think it's
- 56:53Speaker 7: from 7 to 9. I think that's what her mom, Caroline,
- 56:56Speaker 7: told me. And I'll be out there about 7.30 with Caroline.
- 56:59Speaker 7: But the good news is she's coming up next. You're
- 57:02Speaker 7: going to love this lady, Caroline Schenkel.
- 57:05Speaker 21: Sid and Friends in the Morning on the Red Apple
- 57:09Speaker 21: Podcast Network.
- 57:11Speaker 7: Tight end Travis Kelsey, since he married Taylor Swift, is back.
- 57:16Speaker 7: Two more touchdowns against the Dolphins yesterday. He looks amazing again.
- 57:21Speaker 7: Last couple of years, he looked old and finished. Travis
- 57:24Speaker 7: Kelsey off to an amazing start. Amazing for the undefeated
- 57:28Speaker 7: 3-0 Kansas City Chiefs, who again... made easy work of
- 57:32Speaker 7: the Dolphins yesterday. Wednesday night, I made mention of this
- 57:35Speaker 7: last segment at Dorian's. See my buddy Larry Roth out there.
- 57:40Speaker 7: We'll do a big fundraiser and party for Caroline Schenkel.
- 57:43Speaker 7: Caroline's running for that District 12 seat, which will be
- 57:47Speaker 7: vacant now because fat, now skinny, and stupid Jerry Nath
- 57:51Speaker 7: was calling it quits. So with that said, making her
- 57:54Speaker 7: second appearance on Sit and Friends in the morning, my
- 57:57Speaker 7: friend Caroline Schenkel. Caroline, good morning. How are you?
- 58:00Speaker 14: Good morning, Sid.
- 58:01Speaker 17: It's morning in Manhattan. Great to be with you.
- 58:04Speaker 7: It's a rainy, disgusting morning in Manhattan, but I'm glad
- 58:07Speaker 7: you're here. You know who loves you? And I'm so
- 58:10Speaker 7: happy to hear this because she's only been on once,
- 58:12Speaker 7: but I really appreciate this lady. She's really smart. Dr.
- 58:16Speaker 7: Naomi Wolf loves you.
- 58:18Speaker 17: Yes, she is amazing. She's a supporter of mine now.
- 58:22Speaker 17: I was on her podcast recently, and I think she
- 58:25Speaker 17: reached out to you, Sid, and said that you had
- 58:27Speaker 17: to have me on. She did.
- 58:28Speaker 7: She did. I said, Naomi, sweetheart, same name as my mom.
- 58:32Speaker 7: I've had her on two or three times already. I
- 58:34Speaker 7: was there at the very beginning before everybody else had
- 58:37Speaker 7: Caroline on. Her mother, Carolyn, on a night where I
- 58:41Speaker 7: actually stood on stage, a little stage, in Bedminster with
- 58:45Speaker 7: President Trump, she came up to me and way before
- 58:48Speaker 7: anybody else, we started this whole relationship right there, right?
- 58:53Speaker 17: That's right, Sid, and my mother loves you. She's so
- 58:55Speaker 17: excited to see you on Wednesday, as am I, and
- 58:58Speaker 17: as is the rest of Manhattan. It's going to be
- 59:00Speaker 17: a big, beautiful party, and I would invite any New
- 59:04Speaker 17: Yorker who loves their city and loves their country to
- 59:07Speaker 17: come and party with us on Wednesday.
- 59:09Speaker 7: Tell me this. The election now is less than two
- 59:11Speaker 7: months away. Hard to believe that Thursday is already October 1st.
- 59:15Speaker 7: We're only 10 days away from the three-year commemoration of
- 59:20Speaker 7: October 7th. We just did the 9-11 thing, but also
- 59:23Speaker 7: important in our lives today. October 7th, almost three years.
- 59:26Speaker 7: But we're less than two months away. How are you feeling?
- 59:29Speaker 7: Are you getting any numbers, anything that leads you to
- 59:31Speaker 7: believe that you're doing very, very well? Because I think
- 59:34Speaker 7: you are. I think you got a real good shot
- 59:36Speaker 7: to win this.
- 59:37Speaker 17: Sid, I can win this. Now, most people I've been
- 59:40Speaker 17: meeting with believe that somebody like myself is exactly the
- 59:43Speaker 17: kind of leader that we need in Washington right now.
- 59:45Speaker 17: Somebody with common sense, who's a pragmatist with real experience,
- 59:49Speaker 17: real understanding. But until now, Sid, the only problem was
- 59:53Speaker 17: the R next to my name. The fact that I'm
- 59:54Speaker 17: running as a Republican, that is now changing. I cannot
- 59:58Speaker 17: tell you how many Democrats and independents are supporting me.
- 1:00:01Speaker 17: These are decent, Normal, common sense people realizing that we
- 1:00:05Speaker 17: agree on a lot more than we disagree on. We
- 1:00:07Speaker 17: both love our country. We want to stop the socialist
- 1:00:10Speaker 17: takeover and destruction of our city and our great nation.
- 1:00:12Speaker 17: So I can win this, but I need the help
- 1:00:15Speaker 17: of everybody who's listening to your show and their donations
- 1:00:18Speaker 17: to do it. If they donate, we will make history
- 1:00:21Speaker 17: and we will change the course of history. here in
- 1:00:23Speaker 17: New York City, and in this country. So I would
- 1:00:25Speaker 17: invite all your listeners to visit my website, carolinefornewyork.com, to
- 1:00:30Speaker 17: learn more. They can make their donation through that website.
- 1:00:33Speaker 17: As you know, it takes money to win, but we've
- 1:00:35Speaker 17: got all the elements in place. I've been out pounding
- 1:00:38Speaker 17: the pavement, Sid, since I launched my campaign in February.
- 1:00:42Speaker 17: I can tell you the people are with us.
- 1:00:44Speaker 7: Caroline for NewYork.com. And the precedence has been set. My
- 1:00:49Speaker 7: good buddy Mike Lawler has a debate tonight. Going to
- 1:00:51Speaker 7: be on News 12 against this psycho. He's running against
- 1:00:55Speaker 7: Kate Conley. I think that's her name. I don't even know.
- 1:00:57Speaker 7: But he wins in Rockland County in an area that
- 1:01:00Speaker 7: is mostly Democrats. And, of course, Bruce Blakeman. Just won
- 1:01:04Speaker 7: his second consecutive Nassau County executive race. He'll be our
- 1:01:07Speaker 7: next governor, also in a county that is mostly Democrats.
- 1:01:11Speaker 7: So we are seeing people with R's in front of
- 1:01:13Speaker 7: their name, Caroline, like Lawler and Blakeman, win in Democrat districts.
- 1:01:19Speaker 7: So you can certainly do that. And the truth is,
- 1:01:21Speaker 7: the guy you're running against is Michael Lasher. There is
- 1:01:24Speaker 7: a lot not to like about him. Isn't that fair
- 1:01:28Speaker 7: to say?
- 1:01:29Speaker 17: That's 100%, Sid. Mamdani supporter Michael Asher endorsed Mamdani immediately.
- 1:01:34Speaker 17: Even Kathy Hochul took a few months to figure it out.
- 1:01:37Speaker 17: He endorsed Mamdani immediately, continues to support Mamdani, and the
- 1:01:41Speaker 17: DSA agenda has totally embraced socialism. You just have to
- 1:01:44Speaker 17: take a look at his platform. The word Israel doesn't
- 1:01:47Speaker 17: even show up at all on his website. He's totally
- 1:01:50Speaker 17: caved in on Israel and support for the Jewish community,
- 1:01:53Speaker 17: completely caved into the DSA. So what it will boil
- 1:01:56Speaker 17: down to in November is this. Will we in New
- 1:01:58Speaker 17: York 12, the center of global capitalism, elect somebody who
- 1:02:01Speaker 17: by any means has the values, experience, temperament, understanding, and
- 1:02:07Speaker 17: background to represent Manhattan in Congress like myself? Or will
- 1:02:11Speaker 17: the voters simply elect somebody who's a Mamdani supporter, a
- 1:02:14Speaker 17: weak party hack, who's never worked a day in the
- 1:02:16Speaker 17: real world, by the way, and again, who's totally caved
- 1:02:19Speaker 17: into the DSA simply because he has a D next
- 1:02:22Speaker 17: to his name? That is the question, Sid. I think
- 1:02:25Speaker 17: New Yorkers are going to do the right thing.
- 1:02:26Speaker 7: D for douchebag, by the way, Caroline. Let me read
- 1:02:31Speaker 7: you Caroline. It's so impressive. It really is. Caroline, a
- 1:02:34Speaker 7: corporate attorney talking about capitalism. Listen to this. She's got
- 1:02:37Speaker 7: experience in mergers, acquisitions, and financial regulation at this huge firm.
- 1:02:42Speaker 7: She's worked with the Federal Reserve Board of Governors, the
- 1:02:45Speaker 7: European Central Bank, and the Bank of Israel. Her platform
- 1:02:50Speaker 7: obviously focuses heavily on crime, economic reform, and combating anti-Semitism.
- 1:02:56Speaker 7: So to me, Caroline, you're the face. You're the face
- 1:02:59Speaker 7: of capitalism in a New York City that is on
- 1:03:03Speaker 7: its way. It's on its way to a bankruptcy and
- 1:03:06Speaker 7: a miserable, miserable financial future. You are the cure for
- 1:03:11Speaker 7: all that.
- 1:03:12Speaker 17: Well, thank you so much, Sid. That's how I feel too.
- 1:03:15Speaker 17: Are we either going to vote for continued failure and
- 1:03:18Speaker 17: complete destruction, or are we going to vote for the future?
- 1:03:20Speaker 17: Are we going to vote for economic empowerment and private enterprise?
- 1:03:23Speaker 17: And let's remember, my opponent, Michael Asher, he is somebody
- 1:03:26Speaker 17: who accepts his party's growing intolerance toward Israel, the growing
- 1:03:31Speaker 17: anti-Semitism that's becoming normalized in the Democrat Party. He hopes
- 1:03:35Speaker 17: that by staying quiet, nobody will notice. But I noticed, Sid,
- 1:03:39Speaker 17: and I'm calling him out, the voters are noticing too.
- 1:03:41Speaker 17: I unapologetically stand with the Jewish community of New York
- 1:03:44Speaker 17: City and across the country. I unapologetically support Israel and
- 1:03:48Speaker 17: I stand with Israel. These are issues that should not
- 1:03:51Speaker 17: even be political, Sid. And again, for Michael Asher, the
- 1:03:54Speaker 17: word Israel is entirely absent from his website. He doesn't
- 1:03:57Speaker 17: talk about it. And when he's asked if Israel is
- 1:04:00Speaker 17: committing genocide, he will not say no. So he has
- 1:04:03Speaker 17: totally caved in. He has no moral clarity. For him,
- 1:04:06Speaker 17: it's all about protecting his political career and fighting President Trump.
- 1:04:10Speaker 17: There are no solutions that will help any of us
- 1:04:13Speaker 17: here in New York City that he's discussing. And let's
- 1:04:15Speaker 17: also remember his mentor, Jerry Nadler, my predecessor in this seat,
- 1:04:21Speaker 17: is somebody who recently voted against legislation designed to discourage
- 1:04:25Speaker 17: American universities from boycotting Israel. So that is something that
- 1:04:29Speaker 17: Michael Asher remains silent on. He's Jerry Nadler's protege. So
- 1:04:34Speaker 17: if he gets elected to Congress this November, if I
- 1:04:37Speaker 17: don't stop him, he will continue to vote with the
- 1:04:40Speaker 17: Mamdani's and the Abdul El-Sayed's and the Daria Lisa's of
- 1:04:43Speaker 17: the world because he will have to vote lockstep with
- 1:04:46Speaker 17: the DSA. Otherwise, he will get primary from the left
- 1:04:49Speaker 17: and go the way of Dan Goldman. This is not
- 1:04:51Speaker 17: a strong guy. He's a weak party hack. And I
- 1:04:54Speaker 17: think his silence on all of these issues... should be
- 1:04:57Speaker 17: seen as a very bad omen.
- 1:04:59Speaker 7: You know, one more on Israel. I think you know this.
- 1:05:02Speaker 7: Nobody fights harder than me. Nobody. I mean, I was
- 1:05:04Speaker 7: an invited guest to watch Bibi speak at the UN
- 1:05:06Speaker 7: on Thursday, okay? I was there. I've been back and
- 1:05:09Speaker 7: forth to Israel five times since October 7th of 2023.
- 1:05:14Speaker 7: I actually saved a rabbi on a downtown four train
- 1:05:17Speaker 7: from a drunk guy in the morning who wanted to
- 1:05:19Speaker 7: beat him up on a Shabbos morning heading back to Brooklyn.
- 1:05:22Speaker 7: I spend hours and hours and hours working on this
- 1:05:26Speaker 7: show defending Israel. And I've supported and hosted how many
- 1:05:30Speaker 7: dinners over the last couple of years. But I do wonder,
- 1:05:34Speaker 7: while I commend you for that, and I love you
- 1:05:36Speaker 7: for that, and I do think it's important, in this city,
- 1:05:39Speaker 7: as I watch people walk out of the UN speech,
- 1:05:43Speaker 7: as I continue to see more and more Jews, forget
- 1:05:46Speaker 7: about non-Jews, Jews who live in New York that want
- 1:05:49Speaker 7: no part of Israel, that ban Mount Bibi and hate
- 1:05:52Speaker 7: people like me, I just wonder if supporting Israel is
- 1:05:58Speaker 7: a good thing when you're running for office in New York.
- 1:06:00Speaker 7: Certainly it is morally. Morally, there should be, like you said,
- 1:06:04Speaker 7: no daylight between Israel, America, loving Israel. But unfortunately, in
- 1:06:09Speaker 7: this town, it seems to be an issue. So politically,
- 1:06:13Speaker 7: can that hurt you?
- 1:06:15Speaker 17: I hear you, Sid, but it's the right thing. And
- 1:06:18Speaker 17: we need leadership right now. We need people with moral
- 1:06:20Speaker 17: clarity who are going to step up and do the
- 1:06:22Speaker 17: right thing, even when it's not politically expedient. Now, this
- 1:06:25Speaker 17: is resonating. My support for Israel and the Jewish community
- 1:06:28Speaker 17: is resonating.
- 1:06:28Speaker 10: In New York 12.
- 1:06:29Speaker 7: Thank God.
- 1:06:31Speaker 17: Because we have the largest Jewish community of any congressional
- 1:06:34Speaker 17: district across the country. So people here in my district
- 1:06:38Speaker 17: are feeling targeted. Hate crimes, as you know, Sid, are
- 1:06:41Speaker 17: way up. And hate crimes against the Jewish community are
- 1:06:44Speaker 17: up massively. So people here do not feel safe. They
- 1:06:47Speaker 17: feel sold out by their party. They feel betrayed by
- 1:06:50Speaker 17: the Democrat Party of today. And certainly, I think the
- 1:06:54Speaker 17: voters themselves here in this district, they have not shifted
- 1:06:57Speaker 17: so far to the left. They don't subscribe to the
- 1:07:00Speaker 17: DSA and all this socialism. Our district, New York 12,
- 1:07:03Speaker 17: did not vote for Mamdani last November. So my message
- 1:07:07Speaker 17: of common sense, really, when you think about it, my
- 1:07:09Speaker 17: entire platform said it's all common sense supporting our law enforcement,
- 1:07:13Speaker 17: reducing crime, public safety, education reform. Letting people keep more
- 1:07:18Speaker 17: of what they make, protecting your paycheck. How's that for
- 1:07:21Speaker 17: a concept? Balancing the federal budget because that's how we
- 1:07:23Speaker 17: actually address inflation, which is the underlying cause of cost
- 1:07:27Speaker 17: of living. These are things that people care about. And
- 1:07:31Speaker 17: I'm treating Jewish safety like public safety.
- 1:07:33Speaker 10: Good.
- 1:07:34Speaker 17: And that's what it should be. So again, I would
- 1:07:36Speaker 17: encourage all of your listeners to take a look at CarolineForNewYork.com
- 1:07:40Speaker 17: to learn more, to please make a financial contribution to
- 1:07:43Speaker 17: my campaign. And together, we're going to make history, Sid.
- 1:07:46Speaker 17: It's happening. It's going to be the biggest political upset
- 1:07:49Speaker 17: in American history.
- 1:07:50Speaker 7: God, I love you. You're my favorite new politician. You
- 1:07:53Speaker 7: know that. By the way, her New York 12 encompasses
- 1:07:56Speaker 7: a large portion of Manhattan, stretching from about 14th Street
- 1:08:00Speaker 7: to 110th. And it does cover both the upper... east
- 1:08:05Speaker 7: and west side. Okay, so Wednesday night, Dorians, I'm going
- 1:08:08Speaker 7: to host it because I love you and your mother,
- 1:08:10Speaker 7: and I really believe that you will be a huge asset,
- 1:08:13Speaker 7: huge asset in Washington, D.C. for New Yorkers. Any last
- 1:08:18Speaker 7: message before we see them in person coming up on
- 1:08:21Speaker 7: Wednesday night?
- 1:08:22Speaker 17: Well, Sid, first of all, my mother and I, we
- 1:08:24Speaker 17: love you back. We can't wait to see you and
- 1:08:26Speaker 17: all the other New Yorkers there on Wednesday. And I
- 1:08:29Speaker 17: would like all of your listeners to know I'm running
- 1:08:32Speaker 17: as a Republican, but I'm running to be a candidate
- 1:08:34Speaker 17: for all of us here in New York 12. I'm
- 1:08:36Speaker 17: running to represent all of us as Americans. I'm pro-USA.
- 1:08:40Speaker 17: I'm pro-New York City. I'm pro-capitalism. I'm pro-Western civilization. If
- 1:08:44Speaker 17: you agree with any of those things, then you are
- 1:08:46Speaker 17: with me and you are on the team.
- 1:08:48Speaker 7: Join us. Caroline Schenkel, and again, you can help her
- 1:08:52Speaker 7: out today, and please do it. Go to CarolineForNewYork.com. Caroline
- 1:08:56Speaker 7: is great. Her mother, Carolyn, is equally as great. and
- 1:08:59Speaker 7: with people like her running for office, there's a reason
- 1:09:02Speaker 7: to believe there's still hope. Caroline, great job today, as always.
- 1:09:06Speaker 7: I love you. I'll see you Wednesday night. Thank you
- 1:09:08Speaker 7: so much.
- 1:09:09Speaker 17: Thank you, Sid. See you then.
- 1:09:10Speaker 7: God bless. Caroline Schenkel right there running in District 12.
- 1:09:13Speaker 7: Caroline from NewYork.com. A little radical departure from the politics.
- 1:09:18Speaker 7: We'll go to baseball. I'll be in the Bronx sitting
- 1:09:20Speaker 7: next to Andy Levine tomorrow night.
- 1:09:22Speaker 21: Sid and friends in the morning on the Red Apple
- 1:09:26Speaker 21: Podcast Network.
- 1:09:26Speaker 7: We're going to talk baseball now with the best in
- 1:09:30Speaker 7: the business. I mean that sincerely. I don't make up stuff.
- 1:09:32Speaker 7: I don't say nice things to people because they're on
- 1:09:34Speaker 7: the phone. If he sucked, I tell him he sucked.
- 1:09:36Speaker 7: John Heyman is the best. John, good morning, buddy.
- 1:09:38Speaker 10: How are you?
- 1:09:40Speaker 11: Good morning, Sid.
- 1:09:40Speaker 10: You're the best.
- 1:09:41Speaker 11: Thank you very much.
- 1:09:42Speaker 7: Thank you. I appreciate that. So there it is. Boone's
- 1:09:45Speaker 7: home run was 23 years ago, and he's been the
- 1:09:48Speaker 7: skipper of the Yankees for a long time. And I
- 1:09:51Speaker 7: don't listen to the fan all that much, but I
- 1:09:53Speaker 7: tune in every now and then because I love those guys.
- 1:09:55Speaker 7: Craig is a dear friend of mine. And all they
- 1:09:57Speaker 7: do is bitch about Boone every year. Another year where
- 1:10:00Speaker 7: the Yankees won 93 games. Only Tampa Bay won more
- 1:10:04Speaker 7: games inside the American League. And most people feel like
- 1:10:07Speaker 7: they should get by Boston and Tampa Bay and win
- 1:10:10Speaker 7: the pennant. But now that you look at it, 93 wins,
- 1:10:13Speaker 7: not a terrible year, right?
- 1:10:16Speaker 11: No, it's definitely not a terrible year. He does a
- 1:10:20Speaker 11: solid job. I don't think there's any question about that.
- 1:10:23Speaker 11: But obviously... The one thing hanging over his head is
- 1:10:26Speaker 11: he has not won the World Series. This is year nine,
- 1:10:29Speaker 11: and they are favored now to get to the World Series,
- 1:10:32Speaker 11: not favored to win the World Series. The National League
- 1:10:35Speaker 11: was better. Tampa is tough. Boston, I think, is a
- 1:10:40Speaker 11: good team, but the Yankees should win this one. Boston's
- 1:10:43Speaker 11: only scored 13 runs in the last eight games, and
- 1:10:46Speaker 11: The Yankees have the best starting pitching right now going in,
- 1:10:50Speaker 11: and that includes the National League right now, I believe.
- 1:10:53Speaker 11: So they should get by the Red Sox, I do believe.
- 1:10:56Speaker 11: And they are favored to win the American League, although
- 1:11:00Speaker 11: I'm not as confident in that as the oddsmakers are.
- 1:11:04Speaker 7: Well, it's only Tampa Bay. If they get by the
- 1:11:06Speaker 7: Red Sox in ways they're not losing to, let's face it,
- 1:11:09Speaker 7: Houston or one of those clubs. And the Red Sox
- 1:11:12Speaker 7: did win 32 of 37 midway through the season. I
- 1:11:15Speaker 7: get that. But like you said, they're not a great team.
- 1:11:17Speaker 7: They had an epic run. 32-5 is pretty epic. And
- 1:11:20Speaker 7: the Yankees do have the best pitching, not just in
- 1:11:22Speaker 7: the American League, but in baseball. But I will tell
- 1:11:24Speaker 7: you this. If somehow the Red Sox eke out a
- 1:11:27Speaker 7: win in those first two games... The thought of Garrett Cole,
- 1:11:31Speaker 7: I can't believe I'm saying this because he's been a
- 1:11:34Speaker 7: Hall of Fame amazing pitcher, but the thought of the
- 1:11:36Speaker 7: season being on the line with Garrett Cole on the
- 1:11:39Speaker 7: mound would scare me just a little as a Yankee fan.
- 1:11:44Speaker 11: Yeah, I mean, I kind of believe it. I know
- 1:11:46Speaker 11: we talk about recency bias. I kind of believe in it.
- 1:11:50Speaker 11: I would have gone with Rodon.
- 1:11:51Speaker 10: We'll see.
- 1:11:52Speaker 11: They may not get there. I mean, they've got Schlittler,
- 1:11:54Speaker 11: who's clearly the Cy Young winner this year, going in
- 1:11:56Speaker 11: game one. They've got Max Fried in two, so they
- 1:12:00Speaker 11: may win in two. But you get to three, I
- 1:12:03Speaker 11: would have gone with Rodon at this point, just based
- 1:12:06Speaker 11: on how they've pitched lately. I mean, Schlittler's been the
- 1:12:08Speaker 11: best in the league, but... Over the last month, month
- 1:12:11Speaker 11: and a half, Rodon has been the next best pitcher
- 1:12:14Speaker 11: in the American League, and I would just go with that.
- 1:12:18Speaker 11: I mean, he is a very talented guy. He's rediscovered
- 1:12:20Speaker 11: his slider, which was missing. Obviously, it's been an up-and-down
- 1:12:25Speaker 11: Yankee experience, and as you say, Cole's on the way
- 1:12:28Speaker 11: to the Hall of Fame. He's incredible, but this is
- 1:12:31Speaker 11: his first year back after the Tommy John, and he
- 1:12:35Speaker 11: isn't quite himself. He don't run the last three games allowed,
- 1:12:38Speaker 11: so I think this is a mistake that we may
- 1:12:41Speaker 11: not see come to fruition because I do think there's
- 1:12:44Speaker 11: a decent chance the Yankees wrap it up.
- 1:12:46Speaker 7: No, so do I with those two pitchers. But if
- 1:12:48Speaker 7: it does get to that, why do the Yankees are
- 1:12:51Speaker 7: making this choice? Is it based on resume? Is that it?
- 1:12:54Speaker 11: Yeah, I'm sure it is. And maybe that is a
- 1:12:57Speaker 11: big factor in making a choice. I do think they
- 1:13:01Speaker 11: kind of defer to the big stars a little bit
- 1:13:04Speaker 11: too much sometimes. And in this case, Cole has not
- 1:13:08Speaker 11: been great the last three times out at least. And
- 1:13:11Speaker 11: as a 5 ERA over his last five starts, which
- 1:13:14Speaker 11: isn't great. And Rodon has been dominant. So I don't
- 1:13:19Speaker 11: get it. You know, I mean, Cole could come throw
- 1:13:22Speaker 11: a great game. No question about that. He's extremely good.
- 1:13:26Speaker 11: Extremely talented, but lately not great. But let's not catch
- 1:13:31Speaker 11: about that. At this point, they could win it in two, right?
- 1:13:34Speaker 7: Let's talk about the Yankees' offense. There are rumors that
- 1:13:36Speaker 7: Stanton may be back. Judge told reporters last week, I
- 1:13:40Speaker 7: can play, despite Aaron Boone saying he's not ready yet.
- 1:13:42Speaker 7: So a lot of question marks. Do you have any
- 1:13:45Speaker 7: answers on Judge and or Stanton?
- 1:13:47Speaker 11: Well, I would say it's trending towards Stanton being on
- 1:13:50Speaker 11: the roster and being a pinch hitter. And I would
- 1:13:53Speaker 11: say at this point, I mean, Judge hasn't done any
- 1:13:56Speaker 11: baseball activities. I don't exactly know what he's done. He
- 1:14:00Speaker 11: hasn't been on the field at all. We haven't seen
- 1:14:02Speaker 11: him run or hit. So I would think it's unlikely
- 1:14:07Speaker 11: that Judge would be available for this first series. I
- 1:14:11Speaker 11: can't imagine they're going to risk him with this. calf
- 1:14:15Speaker 11: injury in the soleus muscle, which is down by the Achilles.
- 1:14:19Speaker 11: I mean, we don't want to see him out for
- 1:14:20Speaker 11: next year. Hope we hope we do have a next year.
- 1:14:23Speaker 11: I think we will. And we don't want to see
- 1:14:25Speaker 11: him out for next year over, you know, him playing
- 1:14:29Speaker 11: when he has basically just played a week's worth of
- 1:14:33Speaker 11: games a couple of weeks ago. And, Didn't look quite
- 1:14:37Speaker 11: himself at that point.
- 1:14:38Speaker 7: Oh, he looked terrible. What do you mean? He struck
- 1:14:40Speaker 7: out 13 times in 21 plate appearances.
- 1:14:43Speaker 11: Right, and that was after having some hitting off of
- 1:14:47Speaker 11: live pitching. Now he has not had any of that.
- 1:14:51Speaker 11: Why would anyone think he'd be better, and why risk it?
- 1:14:53Speaker 11: It makes no sense to me to put him on
- 1:14:55Speaker 11: the roster. I guess we could all dream of the
- 1:14:57Speaker 11: Kirk Gibson moment, but let Stanton have that Kirk Gibson moment, right?
- 1:15:01Speaker 11: I mean, Stanton is an October guy. Maybe this is
- 1:15:03Speaker 11: the best way to use Stanton anyway, just have him
- 1:15:05Speaker 11: be an October player and not play in the regular season.
- 1:15:08Speaker 7: And he can stay healthy. And you and I will
- 1:15:09Speaker 7: have that discussion about baseball. I actually know the attorney,
- 1:15:12Speaker 7: the Marvin Miller of 2026. He's not nearly.
- 1:15:16Speaker 7: As confident as you are, so we'll have that discussion
- 1:15:18Speaker 7: after the postseason. Or there'll be baseball next year. It'll
- 1:15:21Speaker 7: be a shame.
- 1:15:22Speaker 11: Confidence a little strong.
- 1:15:23Speaker 7: No, listen, you've got to feel that way because to
- 1:15:26Speaker 7: think about next year having no baseball, no sports. Well,
- 1:15:30Speaker 7: I mean, right now you've got football in week three,
- 1:15:33Speaker 7: college football week four, the Rangers. They start tomorrow night.
- 1:15:37Speaker 7: The Islanders start Wednesday. The Devils start Thursday. The Knicks
- 1:15:40Speaker 7: start in less than a month. You've got plenty of
- 1:15:42Speaker 7: stuff going on, but you get rid of baseball. You've
- 1:15:45Speaker 7: got five months of nothing. I mean, nothing. WNBA, are
- 1:15:48Speaker 7: you nuts?
- 1:15:49Speaker 11: Yeah, we don't need it. No, wait a second. I'm
- 1:15:52Speaker 11: not going to say that.
- 1:15:54Speaker 7: Well, I did.
- 1:15:55Speaker 11: You're funny, Sid.
- 1:15:56Speaker 7: I did. And we need baseball. We need baseball.
- 1:15:59Speaker 11: I get it. I get it. We need baseball. I mean,
- 1:16:02Speaker 11: it fills up the whole summer.
- 1:16:04Speaker 7: You're right.
- 1:16:04Speaker 11: October is fantastic, right? I mean, I think October and
- 1:16:08Speaker 11: April are probably the best.
- 1:16:09Speaker 7: April's great. April's great. College basketball, the Masters, and all
- 1:16:13Speaker 7: that good stuff, yeah.
- 1:16:14Speaker 11: Right, right. Late March, yeah, definitely. But, yeah, I'm very
- 1:16:19Speaker 11: hopeful that they'll figure it out. I think we're going
- 1:16:22Speaker 11: to miss some games, but I think we'll be late.
- 1:16:24Speaker 11: But I can't imagine they can't cancel the season. They
- 1:16:27Speaker 11: just can't do it.
- 1:16:28Speaker 7: Well, I retweeted one of your tweets this weekend, which
- 1:16:31Speaker 7: was great, about the Cleveland Guardians. You said, this team,
- 1:16:34Speaker 7: year in and year out, Willie has one of the
- 1:16:36Speaker 7: lowest payrolls in baseball, and they keep winning that AL Central. Now,
- 1:16:41Speaker 7: I took a look at the rest of the teams
- 1:16:42Speaker 7: inside the AL Central. Lousy payrolls, too. The Tigers, the Twins.
- 1:16:48Speaker 7: So you talk about a team that, in miraculous fashion,
- 1:16:52Speaker 7: continues to win with no payroll and ends up with
- 1:16:54Speaker 7: the best record in baseball, in the American League, I
- 1:16:57Speaker 7: should say, and wins a much more competitive AL East.
- 1:17:01Speaker 7: Any comment about that goes to the Tampa Bay Rays.
- 1:17:05Speaker 7: Must be a magician. They haven't won a World Series
- 1:17:07Speaker 7: with him. But how that team wins almost 100 games
- 1:17:10Speaker 7: every year, how do they do that?
- 1:17:13Speaker 11: It's incredible. Front office, brilliant. Kevin Cash is a great manager.
- 1:17:17Speaker 11: There's no question about that. It's really, really amazing. I mean,
- 1:17:22Speaker 11: they went into season, we thought they had really three
- 1:17:24Speaker 11: offensive players, including Kevin Arrow, who... probably second in MVP
- 1:17:29Speaker 11: to Jordan Alvarez from the Astros. They have Yandy Diaz,
- 1:17:34Speaker 11: and they have Jonathan Aranda.
- 1:17:36Speaker 7: That was it.
- 1:17:37Speaker 11: We thought they had three. They picked up picks at
- 1:17:38Speaker 11: the deadline. Now they have four guys. You wouldn't think
- 1:17:42Speaker 11: they could win with really four productive offensive players, but
- 1:17:45Speaker 11: they figure it out somehow, some way, and it's really amazing.
- 1:17:50Speaker 11: I haven't done it in the postseason. It is interesting
- 1:17:52Speaker 11: to see that these small market teams, these low-revenue teams,
- 1:17:56Speaker 11: these Low-paid teams can get.
- 1:17:58Speaker 10: Through 162 games.
- 1:18:00Speaker 11: But it does seem like it's certainly helpful to have
- 1:18:03Speaker 11: those superstars come October, and that's why I think the
- 1:18:07Speaker 11: Yankees and Dodgers are the favorite and probably should be.
- 1:18:11Speaker 11: I mean, I think we'll see some combination in the
- 1:18:14Speaker 11: World Series of Yankees, Dodgers, Brewers, Rays. It does feel
- 1:18:18Speaker 11: like those are the four best teams, but the Yankees
- 1:18:21Speaker 11: and Dodgers are favored, and that's for the history, like
- 1:18:26Speaker 11: we're picking Cole to pitch. For the history, and that
- 1:18:29Speaker 11: is for the history and for the fact that they
- 1:18:32Speaker 11: have the bigger stars.
- 1:18:33Speaker 7: They do, although Milwaukee did win 103 games this year.
- 1:18:37Speaker 7: That's the most in baseball. The Dodgers also 100-win team,
- 1:18:40Speaker 7: and they don't even look all that good about moving
- 1:18:42Speaker 7: through the season. It's like they're bored. You know, the Dodgers,
- 1:18:45Speaker 7: I think they get bored during the regular season. They
- 1:18:47Speaker 7: try this year.
- 1:18:48Speaker 11: Last year, they didn't try. Remember, they didn't get the
- 1:18:50Speaker 11: bye last year because they weren't trying in the regular season.
- 1:18:53Speaker 11: Then the poor Reds had to play the Dodgers, and
- 1:18:55Speaker 11: that got wiped out the two games. And, of course,
- 1:18:58Speaker 11: we know the Dodgers ended up winning an amazing game.
- 1:19:01Speaker 11: World Series, and they are the favorite again. Their four
- 1:19:04Speaker 11: pitchers look pretty good right now, too. I think the
- 1:19:07Speaker 11: Yankees have the best four-man rotation right now. You'll need three,
- 1:19:10Speaker 11: of course, in that first series, but I think the
- 1:19:12Speaker 11: Yankees are the best. Dodgers are tough. Their offense is
- 1:19:17Speaker 11: not as great because Otani, we got the question with
- 1:19:19Speaker 11: the injury. Freeman didn't have a very good year. It's
- 1:19:23Speaker 11: not quite the same, but they were pretty good. They
- 1:19:26Speaker 11: did win 100. Last year, I covered the the Brewers
- 1:19:30Speaker 11: and the Dodgers series. And the Brewers had won every
- 1:19:33Speaker 11: game in the regular season. Then they get to the postseason,
- 1:19:35Speaker 11: and the Dodgers swept them. They had that fabulous game
- 1:19:39Speaker 11: with the three home runs, the 10 strikeouts that will
- 1:19:41Speaker 11: never be topped. And that's kind of been the story
- 1:19:45Speaker 11: of the postseason, is that the big market teams do
- 1:19:47Speaker 11: have that advantage. And that's kind of the owner argument.
- 1:19:51Speaker 11: We'll see if the Dodgers and the Yankees, again, that's
- 1:19:54Speaker 11: probably a point for the owners, if it's the Brewers
- 1:19:58Speaker 11: and the Rays, That's probably a point for the players
- 1:20:02Speaker 11: to say that, look, anybody can do it.
- 1:20:04Speaker 7: I think the commissioner, Rob Manfred, would kill himself if
- 1:20:07Speaker 7: it ended up being Tampa Bay-Milwaukee.
- 1:20:08Speaker 11: The ratings wouldn't be great. Everybody says if you go
- 1:20:11Speaker 11: talk to the TV people, Tampa's the death. That's the
- 1:20:14Speaker 11: death situation for any postseason. For whatever reason, Tampa draws
- 1:20:20Speaker 11: no national interest. None.
- 1:20:22Speaker 13: None.
- 1:20:22Speaker 10: Zero. Zero.
- 1:20:22Speaker 7: Now, listen, baseball is a regional sport. There's no question
- 1:20:25Speaker 7: about it. Football, on the other hand, everybody knows what's
- 1:20:28Speaker 7: going on with the Chargers and Raiders at 4 o'clock.
- 1:20:30Speaker 7: Even if you live in Brooklyn, New York, you just
- 1:20:32Speaker 7: know what's going on. That sport, you know, everybody's interested
- 1:20:35Speaker 7: all day long. Baseball, pretty much a regional sport. I
- 1:20:38Speaker 7: do want to get to the Metropolitans. You know, you
- 1:20:40Speaker 7: mentioned all those MVP candidates in the American League. The
- 1:20:43Speaker 7: guy that should win it, but he was on a
- 1:20:45Speaker 7: lousy team, is Alonzo. He led the American League with
- 1:20:48Speaker 7: 43 home runs. He led the American League with 113 RBIs.
- 1:20:52Speaker 7: This guy ended up with a monster, monster season after
- 1:20:56Speaker 7: a very slow start with Baltimore. God, the Mets could
- 1:20:58Speaker 7: have used him. But on a Met note, 14 under.
- 1:21:03Speaker 7: They're going to keep Andy Green for the next three
- 1:21:05Speaker 7: years as their skipper. Some of these young guys, Ewing, Benji,
- 1:21:09Speaker 7: look pretty good. Certainly McClain in that rotation. What are
- 1:21:12Speaker 7: your thoughts on the Mets moving forward?
- 1:21:15Speaker 11: Yeah, I think they made the right decision to keep
- 1:21:17Speaker 11: Andy Green. They were near. 500 with him, so that's
- 1:21:20Speaker 11: pretty good considering it's not a good team and they
- 1:21:22Speaker 11: weren't close to. 500 when he took over. So I
- 1:21:26Speaker 11: think maybe their streak of bad decisions will be ending.
- 1:21:31Speaker 11: I think they made some good calls in the deadline.
- 1:21:35Speaker 11: Jefferson Rojas looks like a potential star, so that was
- 1:21:38Speaker 11: a good trade. But boy, that offseason they had last year,
- 1:21:41Speaker 11: to now undo all that, they still don't have a
- 1:21:44Speaker 11: first base solved. I mean, to replace Pete Alonso with
- 1:21:49Speaker 11: Jorge Polanco, who had the injury history, got hurt, was
- 1:21:53Speaker 11: not good. is not a first baseman. I don't know
- 1:21:57Speaker 11: what analytic told them that was a good idea, but
- 1:21:59Speaker 11: that was just the worst decision that anybody made this year.
- 1:22:03Speaker 7: David Stearns. Okay, so here it is, John Heyman. You
- 1:22:06Speaker 7: talked about the likelihood of Yankees-Dodgers, but you didn't leave
- 1:22:09Speaker 7: out the Rays and the Brewers. This is the time.
- 1:22:11Speaker 7: This is where boys become men, John Heyman. I said
- 1:22:15Speaker 7: you're the best in the business for a reason. Who
- 1:22:17Speaker 7: will be playing in the fall classic, and who will
- 1:22:20Speaker 7: be standing when it's all said and done?
- 1:22:23Speaker 11: Yeah, I think it'll be the Yankees and Dodgers. I
- 1:22:26Speaker 11: will admit that I picked at the beginning of the year,
- 1:22:28Speaker 11: don't boo me, the Dodgers and the Tigers. Terrible pick
- 1:22:32Speaker 11: by me in the American League, but the Yankees starting
- 1:22:36Speaker 11: pitching looks like the, you know, the Tory era starting
- 1:22:40Speaker 11: pitching when you had Clemens and El Duque and Pettit
- 1:22:42Speaker 11: and Cone and all those great starters right now, and
- 1:22:46Speaker 11: it does feel like they should be able to get
- 1:22:48Speaker 11: by in the American League. Look, the Dodgers, until proven otherwise,
- 1:22:53Speaker 11: you've got to go with them. The Brewers are fantastic.
- 1:22:57Speaker 11: They're their best ever, 103. They have an incredible manager,
- 1:23:01Speaker 11: but I'm going to say it's Dodgers-Yankees.
- 1:23:04Speaker 7: I can't argue. John Heyman right there. John's the best.
- 1:23:07Speaker 7: Got a great podcast, New York Post as well, and
- 1:23:09Speaker 7: hopefully John will stick with us through this baseball postseason.
- 1:23:12Speaker 7: And then, of course, all the labor talks, which might
- 1:23:15Speaker 7: be very painful at the end of this season. John Heyman,
- 1:23:18Speaker 7: as always, tremendous work, buddy. Thank you so much. Always
- 1:23:23Speaker 7: a pleasure.
- 1:23:23Speaker 11: You're the best, Sid.
- 1:23:24Speaker 7: Thank you. Look who's talking. You can't say that. You're
- 1:23:26Speaker 7: the best. John Heyman right there. Some great baseball conversation.
- 1:23:30Speaker 7: I love that guy. I really do. We'll take a
- 1:23:32Speaker 7: short break. Still more to do talking about Yankees, Red Sox,
- 1:23:35Speaker 7: Bucky Dent. That's right. Bucky Dent will join us in
- 1:23:38Speaker 7: the 9 o'clock hour.
- 1:23:39Speaker 1: Sid and friends.
- 1:23:42Speaker 3: In the morning on the Red Apple Podcast Network.
- 1:23:46Speaker 7: Well, congratulations to you two. More bad news for the Giants.
- 1:23:50Speaker 7: Giants lost their best offensive player. Quarterback Jackson Dart to
- 1:23:55Speaker 7: a knee injury last week. Yesterday, now they've lost their
- 1:23:59Speaker 7: best defensive player to a season-ending torn ACL knee injury,
- 1:24:04Speaker 7: Brian Burns. It's officially tore his ACL. So Dart and Burns,
- 1:24:10Speaker 7: their best players on each side of the ball, are
- 1:24:13Speaker 7: now officially out for the year. So John Harbaugh's job,
- 1:24:19Speaker 7: not as easy. The defense was amazing yesterday, but Tennessee...
- 1:24:23Speaker 7: has a putrid offense. I mean, putrid. Robert Seller, and, well,
- 1:24:27Speaker 7: he's a defensive coach, but Brian Dayball, the former Giant
- 1:24:30Speaker 7: head coach, hasn't exactly turned that team around, but Cam
- 1:24:34Speaker 7: Ward at quarterback. So, Dart and Burns are both out
- 1:24:38Speaker 7: for the year. All right, three more great guests to come. Again,
- 1:24:40Speaker 7: Yankees and Red Sox tomorrow night. The biggest name in
- 1:24:43Speaker 7: the history of that series is Bucky Dent, and Bucky
- 1:24:47Speaker 7: will join me coming up in the 9 o'clock hour.
- 1:24:49Speaker 7: Gubernatorial candidate and current Nassau County executive, Bruce Blakeman back
- 1:24:54Speaker 7: on Sid and Friends. He'll join us. And the boss
- 1:24:57Speaker 7: man himself, Mr. Red Apple Media, John Katzmatidis, he'll be
- 1:25:01Speaker 7: coming up next. Katz, Blakeman, and Bucky. Sid and Friends.
- 1:25:06Speaker 3: In the morning on the Red Apple Podcast Network.
- 1:25:10Speaker 7: How about this guy, the great John Katz and Matides? Mr.
- 1:25:13Speaker 7: Red Apple Media does not one but two great shows
- 1:25:15Speaker 7: on this station every week, 5 p.m. every weekday afternoon
- 1:25:20Speaker 7: alongside Rita Cosby. It's the Katz and Cosby Show. And then,
- 1:25:24Speaker 7: of course, his masterpiece, 8 a.m. every Sunday morning, the
- 1:25:27Speaker 7: Katz Roundtable. just a quick one, John, I don't know.
- 1:25:32Speaker 7: You were not in the Hamptons. I don't think this weekend, but.
- 1:25:35Speaker 2: Oh my God. It went a disaster.
- 1:25:37Speaker 7: It was.
- 1:25:37Speaker 2: We were, we, well, we were waiting, you know, we
- 1:25:40Speaker 2: have a house right on the beach and we were
- 1:25:42Speaker 2: waiting for the worst case scenario. And, uh, I think
- 1:25:46Speaker 2: we survived. You know, our pictures, we have cameras all
- 1:25:49Speaker 2: over the place.
- 1:25:50Speaker 10: Okay.
- 1:25:51Speaker 2: And it looks like everything became okay. But some people,
- 1:25:56Speaker 2: I guess, got a lot of damage.
- 1:25:58Speaker 8: A lot.
- 1:25:58Speaker 7: So do you have somebody by your house in Suffolk
- 1:26:01Speaker 7: County that can kind of drive by and take a
- 1:26:03Speaker 7: look for you? Yes.
- 1:26:04Speaker 2: My friend Gus and my friend Joe that take care
- 1:26:08Speaker 2: of the house and everything. You don't want to see
- 1:26:10Speaker 2: that bill.
- 1:26:11Speaker 7: Oh, my God.
- 1:26:12Speaker 2: You know?
- 1:26:14Speaker 7: What about my friend that lives right next door, the
- 1:26:16Speaker 7: great Stuart and Shirley Podolsky? Yeah, yeah.
- 1:26:18Speaker 2: Yeah, well, yeah. Stuart Podolsky sent me pictures.
- 1:26:23Speaker 7: Oh, he did?
- 1:26:24Speaker 2: On Sunday morning. And, you know, for some reason, his house,
- 1:26:30Speaker 2: which is right next door to me, the ocean takes
- 1:26:36Speaker 2: away the sand from him.
- 1:26:39Speaker 10: Really?
- 1:26:40Speaker 2: And gives it to me.
- 1:26:41Speaker 7: No kidding.
- 1:26:41Speaker 2: Yes, for some reason. I mean, it's the way tides,
- 1:26:44Speaker 2: you know, you can't judge how tides go.
- 1:26:46Speaker 7: No, no, you can't do anything about that.
- 1:26:47Speaker 10: Yeah, yeah.
- 1:26:48Speaker 7: Whose house is more expensive?
- 1:26:50Speaker 13: Huh?
- 1:26:50Speaker 2: Whose house is more expensive? Whose house is going to
- 1:26:53Speaker 2: be left after a big storm?
- 1:26:56Speaker 7: That's what matters, right?
- 1:26:57Speaker 2: That's what matters.
- 1:26:57Speaker 7: Not who starts the game, who finishes the game.
- 1:26:59Speaker 2: Stuart has a nice house, and it burned down a
- 1:27:02Speaker 2: few years ago, but when he rebuilt it, He had
- 1:27:06Speaker 2: to build it all the way back under the new rules.
- 1:27:08Speaker 10: Ah, gotcha.
- 1:27:09Speaker 2: My house is still right up front.
- 1:27:10Speaker 7: Gotcha.
- 1:27:11Speaker 2: And, uh, which is, uh, you know, I enjoyed it.
- 1:27:14Speaker 2: You know, I, when I bought my house about 10,
- 1:27:16Speaker 2: 15 years ago, we, me and Margo went to see
- 1:27:19Speaker 2: it on a, uh, on a, on a Friday. We
- 1:27:22Speaker 2: signed a contract on Monday.
- 1:27:23Speaker 7: That quickly?
- 1:27:24Speaker 2: Oh, we saw it. We loved it.
- 1:27:26Speaker 7: Love at first sight.
- 1:27:27Speaker 2: We got a view of both sides. We have a
- 1:27:28Speaker 2: view of the ocean and a view of the bay.
- 1:27:31Speaker 7: Oh, come on.
- 1:27:31Speaker 2: And you can sit in your dining room and look
- 1:27:33Speaker 2: at both sides.
- 1:27:34Speaker 7: How do you beat that? How do you beat that?
- 1:27:35Speaker 2: You got to come over sometime.
- 1:27:37Speaker 7: Well, I was close.
- 1:27:38Speaker 10: Yes.
- 1:27:38Speaker 7: A couple years ago for your birthday, I went to
- 1:27:40Speaker 7: the church, but I haven't seen the house yet. Let
- 1:27:42Speaker 7: me get to our mutual friend, President Trump, had a
- 1:27:45Speaker 7: busy weekend, went to see Tennessee play Texas, big college
- 1:27:48Speaker 7: football game, and then had a bunch of other meetings.
- 1:27:51Speaker 7: 37 days away now from the election, John.
- 1:27:55Speaker 2: President Trump is under attack. And I spoke to him
- 1:27:59Speaker 2: last Monday when I was with him. And we're under attack.
- 1:28:05Speaker 2: I spoke to your friend, Joe Gruder, who.
- 1:28:09Speaker 2: It's not only the evil empire, you know, Russia, North Korea, China, Iran.
- 1:28:19Speaker 2: They want a weaker Trump because Trump is too smart
- 1:28:24Speaker 2: for them and too strong for them. And every American
- 1:28:28Speaker 2: has to realize that. Trump is too smart for them,
- 1:28:33Speaker 2: and Europe, too. And, you know, I'm disappointed that Carney,
- 1:28:38Speaker 2: the prime minister of China.
- 1:28:39Speaker 7: He's the worst.
- 1:28:40Speaker 2: Is supporting, wants to do business with China.
- 1:28:43Speaker 10: Yeah.
- 1:28:44Speaker 2: Which is, China will wipe his, you know, and he's
- 1:28:52Speaker 2: very close to Macron. And I'm disappointed. They're both bad guys, though.
- 1:28:58Speaker 2: But here's what happened. No, I don't want to use
- 1:29:01Speaker 2: bad guys. They're doing things that are stupid because I'll
- 1:29:06Speaker 2: tell you why. They're looking to save money on tariffs
- 1:29:11Speaker 2: because President Trump has their number. They realize that. You
- 1:29:16Speaker 2: know why we have a 40? Nobody talks about it.
- 1:29:19Speaker 2: Me and Larry Kudlow talk about it all the time
- 1:29:21Speaker 2: when we go to dinner. You know what really happened,
- 1:29:26Speaker 2: why we have a $ 40 trillion deficit.
- 1:29:30Speaker 6: Why?
- 1:29:30Speaker 2: Because, you know, first of all, we started with $ 5 trillion.
- 1:29:33Speaker 2: When Newt Gingrich and Bill Clinton sat down, they sat
- 1:29:37Speaker 2: down and they made a deal as Americans. Maybe they
- 1:29:41Speaker 2: didn't like each other, but they made a deal for
- 1:29:43Speaker 2: America and took the deficit from $ 5. 5 trillion down to
- 1:29:46Speaker 2: $ 5 trillion. Okay. That's the last time we ever saw
- 1:29:51Speaker 2: 5 trillion. Now it's 40 trillion. Now let me understand.
- 1:29:55Speaker 2: Let me let everybody out there know why. Because we
- 1:29:58Speaker 2: were very generous to Canada. We're very generous to Europe.
- 1:30:04Speaker 2: We're very generous to everybody. Foreign aid. But foreign aid
- 1:30:09Speaker 2: went as far as when we sell Germany a car,
- 1:30:14Speaker 2: They charge, I'm just going to make up numbers because
- 1:30:17Speaker 2: I don't know the exact numbers. A $ 50, 000 Chevrolet, they
- 1:30:21Speaker 2: put a $ 50, 000 tariff on it. And then when they
- 1:30:24Speaker 2: sell his Mercedes-Benz, the tariff is very little. So the
- 1:30:29Speaker 2: smart thing what President Trump is doing is leveling the
- 1:30:33Speaker 2: playing field. We want to be fair to you. You
- 1:30:36Speaker 2: be fair to us. And he's put his foot down.
- 1:30:39Speaker 2: And NATO, too. They were not contributing to NATO.
- 1:30:44Speaker 10: Oh, terrible.
- 1:30:44Speaker 2: We provided the defense of Japan, Australia, all of Europe.
- 1:30:49Speaker 2: It was our money, our taxpayer money. We defended Saudi Arabia,
- 1:30:55Speaker 2: the United Arab Emirates, all of them. We defended the
- 1:30:59Speaker 2: entire free world, and the bottom line is the American
- 1:31:03Speaker 2: taxpayer has the bill.
- 1:31:05Speaker 7: That's right.
- 1:31:05Speaker 2: $ 40 trillion deficit.
- 1:31:06Speaker 7: They complain about the bill for Israel.
- 1:31:08Speaker 2: And all of a sudden, they're looking at us, oh,
- 1:31:10Speaker 2: you're a debtor. You owe $ 40 trillion.
- 1:31:13Speaker 7: Yeah, please.
- 1:31:13Speaker 2: Well, we saved your ass. Well, we keep paying the
- 1:31:16Speaker 2: bill for everybody. We saved your ass, and we kept
- 1:31:17Speaker 2: paying your bill.
- 1:31:18Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 1:31:18Speaker 2: And President Trump was the only smart guy that says,
- 1:31:22Speaker 2: because he's a businessman.
- 1:31:23Speaker 10: Smart.
- 1:31:24Speaker 2: I'll tell you.
- 1:31:24Speaker 7: And courageous.
- 1:31:25Speaker 2: The Venezuelan deal. The Venezuelan deal. He got $ 65 billion
- 1:31:31Speaker 2: of crude oil. You know what that is? That's the
- 1:31:35Speaker 2: next 20 or 30 years. It's worth trillions and trillions
- 1:31:38Speaker 2: of dollars.
- 1:31:39Speaker 13: It's huge.
- 1:31:39Speaker 7: It's huge.
- 1:31:40Speaker 10: Huge.
- 1:31:41Speaker 2: But he was the only smart in Canada, in Mexico.
- 1:31:47Speaker 2: I mean, it's just, you know, when Detroit, a lot
- 1:31:50Speaker 2: of Democrats, and, you know, I'm sure some Republicans, too.
- 1:31:53Speaker 2: I mean, you know, look, I was a Bill Clinton Democrat.
- 1:31:56Speaker 2: I still am. You know, they say, okay, the board
- 1:32:01Speaker 2: of directors, a meeting at the board of directors office,
- 1:32:03Speaker 2: we're going to move this Chevrolet factory from Detroit to Mexico,
- 1:32:07Speaker 2: and we're going to save 20%. You know what President
- 1:32:10Speaker 2: Trump is doing? He says, well, you're going to save 20%,
- 1:32:14Speaker 2: and Detroit loses all their union jobs. You know, President
- 1:32:18Speaker 2: Trump is smart enough to be— he' s on the blue-collar worker's position.
- 1:32:24Speaker 7: Yes.
- 1:32:24Speaker 2: Oh, his husband.
- 1:32:26Speaker 7: That's why Anthony Scaramucci wrote the book about the blue-collar president.
- 1:32:31Speaker 2: He tells them, you're going to save 20% to General
- 1:32:34Speaker 2: Motors or whoever it is?
- 1:32:35Speaker 10: Yeah.
- 1:32:36Speaker 2: And you know what he says to them? We're going
- 1:32:37Speaker 2: to charge you a 20% tariff.
- 1:32:38Speaker 7: That's right. Good for him.
- 1:32:40Speaker 2: So we don't want to lose our jobs.
- 1:32:41Speaker 7: No.
- 1:32:42Speaker 2: And he's bringing over trillions of dollars, trillions of dollars
- 1:32:46Speaker 2: of new businesses that we're going to need new jobs,
- 1:32:50Speaker 2: et cetera, et cetera.
- 1:32:51Speaker 7: You talked about the oil from Venezuela. You're right. It's
- 1:32:54Speaker 7: a huge deal.
- 1:32:55Speaker 2: 65 billion barrels. 30 years worth of oil.
- 1:32:57Speaker 7: Trillions of dollars, like you said. And I did hear
- 1:33:00Speaker 7: President Trump say this weekend, all you guys complaining about
- 1:33:03Speaker 7: the oil prices. I got to tell you, it's still
- 1:33:05Speaker 7: lower than it was when Biden was president. You're Mr. Oil.
- 1:33:09Speaker 7: Is that true?
- 1:33:10Speaker 2: Right now, we're in the oil business for 50 years.
- 1:33:13Speaker 2: I was on Fox on Friday. It's right now, there's
- 1:33:18Speaker 2: a game being played. They figure if they raise the
- 1:33:24Speaker 2: price of gasoline and the game is being played by
- 1:33:27Speaker 2: the evil empire, And if they raise the price of gasoline, diesel,
- 1:33:32Speaker 2: diesel is like $ 7, $ 6.
- 1:33:35Speaker 10: 50.
- 1:33:36Speaker 2: If they raise the price of gasoline and the stupid Fed,
- 1:33:40Speaker 2: and I say that, and I know President Trump forgave them, but.
- 1:33:45Speaker 7: Not really.
- 1:33:46Speaker 2: I know that. I talked to him.
- 1:33:49Speaker 6: And.
- 1:33:51Speaker 2: They raise interest rates. So to buy a home with
- 1:33:56Speaker 2: a 30-year mortgage, it's 7%.
- 1:33:58Speaker 7: Outrageous.
- 1:33:59Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 1:34:01Speaker 7: Come on. That's outrageous. Kevin Warsh, you're killing us. What
- 1:34:04Speaker 7: are you doing?
- 1:34:05Speaker 4: Right.
- 1:34:06Speaker 7: That's it.
- 1:34:06Speaker 2: Gasoline. And they want Trump to lose or Trump's people
- 1:34:12Speaker 2: that he's supporting to lose.
- 1:34:14Speaker 10: Of course.
- 1:34:14Speaker 2: Now, I want the American people to be smart enough
- 1:34:17Speaker 2: to realize that America is under attack. And let's don't
- 1:34:21Speaker 2: vote Democratic, independent vote for America. Don't vote for your party.
- 1:34:28Speaker 7: Good advice. One more for you, because I love this guy.
- 1:34:31Speaker 7: I know you love him, too. And he loves you.
- 1:34:32Speaker 7: He's such a great guy. Had a chance to spend
- 1:34:35Speaker 7: some time with him when I hosted an event in
- 1:34:38Speaker 7: somewhere in the Hamptons. I forgot already. I may have been.
- 1:34:41Speaker 7: It wasn't South Hampton. That was the following week. West Hampton, actually.
- 1:34:45Speaker 7: I had a chance to hang out with Mark Schneier.
- 1:34:47Speaker 2: Rabbi Schneier!
- 1:34:48Speaker 17: Yes.
- 1:34:48Speaker 7: Did you have a big.
- 1:34:49Speaker 2: We had a big gala on Wednesday night honoring Rabbi Schneier,
- 1:34:55Speaker 2: the father.
- 1:34:55Speaker 7: Oh, the dad!
- 1:34:56Speaker 2: The dad.
- 1:34:57Speaker 7: Oh, at Park East Synagogue.
- 1:34:58Speaker 2: 96 years old.
- 1:34:59Speaker 7: Oh, he's a great guy.
- 1:35:00Speaker 2: He was as sharp as a tack at 96 years old.
- 1:35:04Speaker 2: Lifetime Achievement Award. I introduced him.
- 1:35:07Speaker 7: Oh, you did?
- 1:35:08Speaker 2: Also, yes. Hey, I'm Jewish, too.
- 1:35:11Speaker 7: I know you are.
- 1:35:12Speaker 2: I was the co-chairman or chairman of the dinner.
- 1:35:14Speaker 7: That's fantastic.
- 1:35:15Speaker 2: And we also honored the new CEO of FedEx.
- 1:35:16Speaker 13: Oh, wow.
- 1:35:17Speaker 2: And they deliver 18 million packages a day to 223
- 1:35:20Speaker 2: countries or 223 locations. And it is phenomenal. And then
- 1:35:23Speaker 2: Friday night, Saturday night, we had another gala honoring Zelensky
- 1:35:41Speaker 2: for the Greek Orthodox Chapel at World Trade Center.
- 1:35:47Speaker 7: He was there?
- 1:35:48Speaker 2: Zelensky was supposed to be there.
- 1:35:50Speaker 7: Okay.
- 1:35:51Speaker 2: One day before, he says, I got to go back.
- 1:35:54Speaker 2: I have an emergency in Ukraine. And he did a
- 1:35:57Speaker 2: live video.
- 1:35:58Speaker 7: Oh, he did?
- 1:35:59Speaker 2: Yes.
- 1:36:00Speaker 7: Okay, so it's live.
- 1:36:00Speaker 2: Okay, fantastic. And I'll send you the videos later, just
- 1:36:03Speaker 2: so you're curious.
- 1:36:05Speaker 7: That's a big deal. That's a big deal.
- 1:36:06Speaker 2: And we've got a very big dinner coming up with
- 1:36:10Speaker 2: Robert Kraft honoring Moynihan, anti-Semitism. I'm good friends with Robert Kraft.
- 1:36:17Speaker 7: Oh, you are?
- 1:36:17Speaker 10: Yes.
- 1:36:18Speaker 7: Love you.
- 1:36:18Speaker 2: And Brian Moynihan. I was one of them. On Bank
- 1:36:21Speaker 2: of America, I was on one of his boards.
- 1:36:23Speaker 7: Wow.
- 1:36:24Speaker 2: And so we're going to be doing that. That's huge.
- 1:36:27Speaker 2: And this Friday night, Margot is being honored by Libby Pataki,
- 1:36:34Speaker 2: George Pataki's wife. She has a church of friars that
- 1:36:39Speaker 2: do a lot of good things for people. And Margot
- 1:36:43Speaker 2: is being honored. And it happens to be our anniversary,
- 1:36:46Speaker 2: so I'm inviting dozens and dozens of people for our anniversary,
- 1:36:51Speaker 2: complimentary of me.
- 1:36:52Speaker 7: This is beautiful. Friday night, your anniversary, honoring Margot the
- 1:36:55Speaker 7: same night.
- 1:36:56Speaker 17: Yes.
- 1:36:56Speaker 7: Oh, come on. How do you beat that?
- 1:36:58Speaker 2: Well, Margot, you know, Margot likes to do a lot
- 1:37:00Speaker 2: of good things. She deserves it. You know, and she
- 1:37:02Speaker 2: still has problems with her back.
- 1:37:04Speaker 11: Yeah.
- 1:37:04Speaker 2: But she's working on it.
- 1:37:07Speaker 7: She's a terrific lady. I love your wife. Good for her.
- 1:37:09Speaker 7: Good for both you guys. It's a lot of cool stuff.
- 1:37:11Speaker 7: When you see Robert Kraft, ask him why his quarterback
- 1:37:13Speaker 7: keeps throwing the football to the other team. It's kind
- 1:37:15Speaker 7: of odd that they are really struggling.
- 1:37:18Speaker 10: One more.
- 1:37:18Speaker 7: You know, you asked me, Trump was on me, not
- 1:37:21Speaker 7: the last time, the time before that. And you said,
- 1:37:23Speaker 7: you know, Sid, do me a favor, because I'm working
- 1:37:24Speaker 7: on this. You've done a great job with it. Tell
- 1:37:27Speaker 7: Trump they want to get rid of AM radios in
- 1:37:29Speaker 7: our cars. And you remember, I brought it up with Trump,
- 1:37:31Speaker 7: and he kept coming back to it. He was furious
- 1:37:34Speaker 7: about it. It looks like you've won that battle.
- 1:37:36Speaker 2: Well, you know, it's not us. It's America has won
- 1:37:40Speaker 2: the battle.
- 1:37:41Speaker 7: Halfway.
- 1:37:42Speaker 2: But by unanimous consent, the House of Representatives did it,
- 1:37:51Speaker 2: but they left the sunset clause in. We don't want that. Well,
- 1:37:55Speaker 2: they left it in. We don't want it. And now
- 1:38:01Speaker 2: the Senate has to vote on it. Trump is going
- 1:38:03Speaker 2: to sign it. But let me tell you something. It's
- 1:38:06Speaker 2: national defense. And some of these car companies that have
- 1:38:10Speaker 2: a lot of alliances, To China. Let me tell you something.
- 1:38:14Speaker 2: It all comes back. Look, I love the Chinese people.
- 1:38:17Speaker 2: They are smart. They are smart. They are hardworking. But
- 1:38:22Speaker 2: the Communist Party itself, they're out. They're out to get
- 1:38:27Speaker 2: the world.
- 1:38:28Speaker 7: Oh, yeah. Especially us.
- 1:38:29Speaker 2: People have to realize it.
- 1:38:30Speaker 7: Especially us.
- 1:38:31Speaker 2: We're under attack in so many different directions.
- 1:38:34Speaker 7: From everywhere.
- 1:38:34Speaker 2: And that's why WABC, our purpose is to make sure
- 1:38:40Speaker 2: America survives. And that's our purpose.
- 1:38:43Speaker 7: And we need to be in every car all over
- 1:38:44Speaker 7: the country. Great job, John Gazzamatiti. Terrific job.
- 1:38:47Speaker 2: Sid Rosenberg, keep fighting for America. You too. And I'm
- 1:38:50Speaker 2: glad you had Catherine Shinko.
- 1:38:53Speaker 7: Isn't she great? Isn't she great?
- 1:38:54Speaker 2: She's a great lady, and she deserves to win.
- 1:38:57Speaker 7: She does.
- 1:38:58Speaker 2: Now, New York is a tough place to win for
- 1:38:59Speaker 2: a Republican.
- 1:39:00Speaker 7: That's your neighborhood, right? Upper East Side?
- 1:39:02Speaker 2: She's Upper East Side, Upper West Side. Don't forget what
- 1:39:05Speaker 2: the Democrats, Socialists did. They first took out our friend
- 1:39:10Speaker 2: Carolyn Maloney, who I've supported for 40 years. And they
- 1:39:14Speaker 2: used Jerry Nadler, the Jewish guy from the West Side,
- 1:39:17Speaker 2: who I supported for 40 years.
- 1:39:19Speaker 7: Right.
- 1:39:20Speaker 2: Okay? They used Jerry Nadler to take out Carolyn Maloney,
- 1:39:24Speaker 2: and then because... Because Jerry Nadler is Jewish. They just
- 1:39:27Speaker 2: took him out.
- 1:39:28Speaker 7: He's out. He retired. That's right.
- 1:39:29Speaker 21: Yeah.
- 1:39:30Speaker 2: Well, you retired because you.
- 1:39:31Speaker 7: Weren't going to support him. They forced him out. Yeah,
- 1:39:32Speaker 7: they forced him out.
- 1:39:33Speaker 2: Okay, let's talk. Let's tell the truth.
- 1:39:34Speaker 17: Yeah.
- 1:39:34Speaker 2: And that's one thing me and you do.
- 1:39:36Speaker 7: Tell the truth.
- 1:39:36Speaker 10: We do tell the truth.
- 1:39:37Speaker 7: Not everybody loves it all the time, but that's why
- 1:39:39Speaker 7: John Katzmatidis and I are successful. Amazing job, John. Thank
- 1:39:42Speaker 7: you so much. God bless you. John Katzmatidis right there.
- 1:39:46Speaker 7: Check him out this afternoon and every afternoon at 5
- 1:39:48Speaker 7: o'clock alongside Rita Cosby. It's the great Katz and Cosby show.
- 1:39:52Speaker 7: And don't miss his Sunday morning show. You've got to
- 1:39:54Speaker 7: do it. On the way to watching football, 8 a.m.
- 1:39:57Speaker 7: Sunday morning. Make sure you check out the Katz Roundtable.
- 1:39:59Speaker 7: It is great stuff. He's got amazing guests. You know,
- 1:40:02Speaker 7: he puts the Katz Roundtable, he puts it in an
- 1:40:05Speaker 7: ad in the New York Post. He can barely fit
- 1:40:07Speaker 7: the guests on one page. That's how good it is. So,
- 1:40:10Speaker 7: John Katsimatidis, great to see you, buddy. Thank you so much.
- 1:40:12Speaker 7: We love you. We'll take a short break. Still to come,
- 1:40:15Speaker 7: current Nassau County Executive running for Governor Bruce Blakeman and
- 1:40:18Speaker 7: Yankee hero with the Yankees taking on the Red Sox
- 1:40:21Speaker 7: tomorrow night, Bucky Dent.
- 1:40:24Speaker 21: Sid and friends in the morning on the Red Apple
- 1:40:27Speaker 21: Podcast Network.
- 1:40:29Speaker 7: First, of course, my dear friend happens to be the
- 1:40:32Speaker 7: Nassau County executive, but will be the next governor here
- 1:40:36Speaker 7: in New York, the great Bruce Blakeman. Bruce, good morning, buddy.
- 1:40:40Speaker 7: How are you?
- 1:40:41Speaker 10: I'm doing great. Hey, listen, Bucky Dent, how many years
- 1:40:45Speaker 10: did he play? 10, 11 years?
- 1:40:47Speaker 7: Something like that, yes.
- 1:40:49Speaker 10: Yeah, and I don't think he had more than 40
- 1:40:52Speaker 10: home runs in his whole career. And he hits probably
- 1:40:55Speaker 10: one of the most iconic home runs in the history
- 1:40:58Speaker 10: of Yankee baseball. What a clutch hit. Remember that hit
- 1:41:02Speaker 10: in 1978? That home run that clinched it for the
- 1:41:05Speaker 10: Yankees against the Red Sox in the one-game playoff?
- 1:41:08Speaker 7: That was it. 1978 off Mike Torres. And people forget,
- 1:41:11Speaker 7: that did catapult the Yankees into the playoffs. The year before,
- 1:41:14Speaker 7: the Yankees beat the Dodgers in the World Series, and...
- 1:41:17Speaker 7: Reggie Jackson won the MVP. Remember, he had three home
- 1:41:19Speaker 7: runs or three different Dodger pitchers in 77. But in 78,
- 1:41:23Speaker 7: when Bucky Dent hit that home run, like you just
- 1:41:25Speaker 7: talked about, Bruce, you're 1,000% right. To get the Yankees
- 1:41:28Speaker 7: into the playoffs, they went on to beat the Dodgers
- 1:41:31Speaker 7: again in the World Series. And people forget, Bucky Dent
- 1:41:34Speaker 7: was the World Series MVP for the Yankees. That's how
- 1:41:37Speaker 7: big he was.
- 1:41:39Speaker 10: You talk about a clutch performance.
- 1:41:42Speaker 7: Really was. That was a huge year for Bucky and
- 1:41:44Speaker 7: went on to manage the Yankees. He took a beating
- 1:41:46Speaker 7: from Steinbrenner, but a terrific guy. Lost his wife to
- 1:41:50Speaker 7: cancer years and years ago. They met at the University
- 1:41:53Speaker 7: of Florida. I think he has since remarried, but we've
- 1:41:56Speaker 7: remained friendly. And when I go to Yankee Stadium tomorrow night,
- 1:41:58Speaker 7: I'll be wearing my number 20 Bucky Dent jersey for
- 1:42:02Speaker 7: the Yankees and Red Sox. And you nailed it, Bruce.
- 1:42:04Speaker 7: That was a big home run. Clutch performances like you're
- 1:42:07Speaker 7: going to be clutch come November when you beat Kathy Hochul.
- 1:42:12Speaker 10: Well, we have to hit a home run for the
- 1:42:14Speaker 10: people of New York because they're miserable under Kathy Hochul.
- 1:42:18Speaker 10: We're number 50 in economic outlook, the highest taxed state
- 1:42:22Speaker 10: in the nation, electric bills 70% higher than the national average,
- 1:42:27Speaker 10: and she is the most pro-criminal governor in the United States.
- 1:42:31Speaker 10: So we've got a lot of work to do. We
- 1:42:33Speaker 10: still have to win this election. Things are looking better
- 1:42:36Speaker 10: each and every day. Sid, I had somebody come up
- 1:42:39Speaker 10: to me last night. She said to me, Bruce, I'm
- 1:42:42Speaker 10: a liberal. I'm a liberal, but I love America. And
- 1:42:46Speaker 10: that's why I'm voting for you this year. My party
- 1:42:50Speaker 10: is a bunch of un-Americans right now. They don't love
- 1:42:52Speaker 10: America like past Democrats have. So, you know, we may
- 1:42:57Speaker 10: have philosophical differences, but we're all Americans. And everybody I meet,
- 1:43:02Speaker 10: it doesn't matter which age group, what their demographics are.
- 1:43:07Speaker 10: Everybody wants lower taxes, lower utility bills and safer neighborhoods.
- 1:43:11Speaker 10: And that's what I did in Nassau County. And that's
- 1:43:13Speaker 10: what I'll do for the state of New York.
- 1:43:15Speaker 7: You know, you say she's a liberal. No one's going
- 1:43:17Speaker 7: to be surprised anymore. I brought this up earlier to
- 1:43:20Speaker 7: my friend Caroline Schenkel, who's running for Congress on the
- 1:43:22Speaker 7: Upper East Side, mostly Democrats. I said, the precedence has
- 1:43:26Speaker 7: been set. Mike Lawler wins in Rockland County. That's mostly Democrats.
- 1:43:30Speaker 7: Bruce Plateman wins in Nassau County, mostly Democrats. And correct
- 1:43:34Speaker 7: me if I'm wrong, but two huge Democrat names, Frank Lautenberg, widow, Mrs. Lautenberg,
- 1:43:40Speaker 7: and Bob Holden, maybe the greatest of all the city
- 1:43:43Speaker 7: council members, both Democrats. came to your camp the last
- 1:43:47Speaker 7: couple of weeks. Isn't that true?
- 1:43:50Speaker 10: Well, I'm honored to have Bonnie Lautenberg as a supporter.
- 1:43:54Speaker 10: She's one of those people I'm talking about. Her husband
- 1:43:57Speaker 10: served with great distinction in the United States Senate. He
- 1:44:00Speaker 10: and I probably didn't agree on a lot of things politically,
- 1:44:04Speaker 10: but I knew he loved America, and Bonnie loves America.
- 1:44:07Speaker 10: And Bob Holden, he is probably one of the best
- 1:44:10Speaker 10: members of the city council in recent memory. This is
- 1:44:13Speaker 10: a guy... who made decisions on what was best for
- 1:44:17Speaker 10: the people of New York City and his district, regardless
- 1:44:20Speaker 10: of party, regardless of philosophy. He accomplished so much in
- 1:44:24Speaker 10: his short tenure as a member of the city council,
- 1:44:27Speaker 10: so I'm honored to get his endorsement as well.
- 1:44:30Speaker 7: I was watching the last couple of days Kathy Hochul
- 1:44:33Speaker 7: talk about the Nor'easter and the damage it could do
- 1:44:37Speaker 7: and getting New Yorkers ready, you know. And she's just
- 1:44:40Speaker 7: so mealy-mouthed. I don't know, I just, And then I'd
- 1:44:44Speaker 7: watch you. You know, you look tough. You look like
- 1:44:47Speaker 7: you're ready out there on Long Island. Even during the snowstorm,
- 1:44:50Speaker 7: I remember I was watching Rosanna Scotto, one of those
- 1:44:53Speaker 7: really horrible snowstorms last year, like 20-plus inches. And you
- 1:44:56Speaker 7: came on like right after her. And she was like,
- 1:44:59Speaker 7: she just, she looks like she's out of a league.
- 1:45:01Speaker 7: And then here comes Bruce Blakeman, who knows exactly what
- 1:45:04Speaker 7: he's talking about. So the difference was stark in watching
- 1:45:08Speaker 7: both of you guys on television together. the last couple
- 1:45:10Speaker 7: of days, but how did Long Island end up doing
- 1:45:13Speaker 7: with another day of rain and wind coming up today?
- 1:45:18Speaker 10: Well, you know, Sid, I can't take all the credit
- 1:45:21Speaker 10: for the magnificent job that was done here managing this
- 1:45:25Speaker 10: storm in Nassau County. First of all, our police department,
- 1:45:29Speaker 10: our volunteer firefighters, our county employees, our partners in town government,
- 1:45:35Speaker 10: in the town of Oyster Bay, Joe Saladino, John Ferretti,
- 1:45:38Speaker 10: and Hempstead, Jen DeSena in North Hempstead. We all worked
- 1:45:42Speaker 10: together using every asset that we had to make sure
- 1:45:46Speaker 10: that we kept people safe and we managed this storm
- 1:45:49Speaker 10: in a way that it would produce the least harm
- 1:45:52Speaker 10: to our communities. And I think we accomplished that. We
- 1:45:55Speaker 10: didn't have one casualty during this storm. And this was
- 1:45:59Speaker 10: a very significant storm. This was a strong storm that
- 1:46:02Speaker 10: occurred on a full moon. So it made it very
- 1:46:05Speaker 10: problematic with the coastal flooding. high winds, downed trees, downed wires.
- 1:46:10Speaker 10: And we worked together. PSE & G worked well with
- 1:46:14Speaker 10: us together. They got out there right away to make
- 1:46:16Speaker 10: sure that people got a restoration of their electricity. So
- 1:46:20Speaker 10: it was a team effort all around. And also out
- 1:46:24Speaker 10: in Suffolk County, Ed Romain did a great job. We
- 1:46:26Speaker 10: worked in a regional approach. So it was really shared
- 1:46:33Speaker 10: work habits of people who train for things like this
- 1:46:36Speaker 10: each and every day. We train for all of these
- 1:46:39Speaker 10: major events that could occur, hoping they never occur, but
- 1:46:42Speaker 10: we have to be ready when they do.
- 1:46:45Speaker 7: So today, I know the storm is kind of looping around.
- 1:46:48Speaker 7: It won't be as nasty as it was the last
- 1:46:51Speaker 7: two days, but it does plan on paying New Jersey
- 1:46:54Speaker 7: and Long Island a visit. So are you guys still
- 1:46:57Speaker 7: on kind of, you know, this high alert out there
- 1:47:01Speaker 7: on Long Island?
- 1:47:02Speaker 10: Yeah, well, we're always on high alert. This last wave
- 1:47:07Speaker 10: of the storm will bring significant rain. We expect probably
- 1:47:11Speaker 10: an inch to an inch and a half today, which
- 1:47:13Speaker 10: makes the ground more saturated and it loosens the roots
- 1:47:17Speaker 10: and trees. So it's easier if a wind comes to
- 1:47:21Speaker 10: tip over the trees. So that's still an issue. Coastal
- 1:47:25Speaker 10: flooding is still an issue at high tide. So we're
- 1:47:28Speaker 10: monitoring all those situations. But The winds have gone down
- 1:47:32Speaker 10: now to about 10 to 15 miles an hour on
- 1:47:34Speaker 10: a steady basis. The gusts won't reach 50 or 60
- 1:47:38Speaker 10: miles an hour like they did yesterday, probably 30 miles
- 1:47:40Speaker 10: an hour, which is still significant. And we're just keeping
- 1:47:43Speaker 10: an eye on everything and making sure that we have
- 1:47:46Speaker 10: assets in place in case anybody needs any help.
- 1:47:49Speaker 7: You know, Bruce, a week ago today, President Trump met
- 1:47:52Speaker 7: with Mamdani, and I was angry. And I made it
- 1:47:57Speaker 7: very clear I was angry. I didn't hide it. And
- 1:47:59Speaker 7: every blog, every publication, every paper wrote MAGA radio host
- 1:48:04Speaker 7: whips his buddy Trump. And I'm sure the president saw it.
- 1:48:08Speaker 7: My gut tells me that he wasn't angry because what
- 1:48:11Speaker 7: was funny about last Monday's meeting was the Democrats were
- 1:48:14Speaker 7: not upset. It was us, me, you know, all the
- 1:48:17Speaker 7: MAGA people. Doesn't mean I don't love the guy. I
- 1:48:19Speaker 7: love him deeply. Reached out to him actually on Saturday
- 1:48:22Speaker 7: when it was on his way to the Texas-Tennessee game.
- 1:48:25Speaker 7: But you gave the right answer a couple days ago, okay,
- 1:48:28Speaker 7: when they said to you, how'd you feel about that meeting?
- 1:48:31Speaker 7: And I probably could guess. We didn't talk about it.
- 1:48:34Speaker 7: We didn't. But I could probably guess how you really feel.
- 1:48:37Speaker 7: But you said the right thing. You said, listen, when
- 1:48:39Speaker 7: I win, I got to deal with this guy. Now,
- 1:48:41Speaker 7: you can also fire this guy, you know, that Bruce.
- 1:48:44Speaker 7: But when I win, I got to deal with this guy.
- 1:48:46Speaker 7: Is that how you basically get around really telling the
- 1:48:52Speaker 7: world how you really feel about this guy?
- 1:48:56Speaker 10: Well, you know, first of all, government officials... have to
- 1:48:59Speaker 10: meet with other government officials that they may not agree with.
- 1:49:04Speaker 10: So I completely understand why President Trump met with Zoran Mondami.
- 1:49:09Speaker 10: My feelings about Zoran Mondami are very clear. When I
- 1:49:13Speaker 10: become governor, I will have to work with him and
- 1:49:15Speaker 10: he'll have to work with me. It's got to be
- 1:49:18Speaker 10: a two-way street. And if he does the right thing,
- 1:49:21Speaker 10: then we can get along fine. If he doesn't do
- 1:49:23Speaker 10: the right thing, then I'm going to have a problem
- 1:49:25Speaker 10: with him and I'm going to keep him in check.
- 1:49:27Speaker 10: Because right now, Zoran Mondami appears to me to be anti-Semitic, anti-Christian,
- 1:49:33Speaker 10: and anti-American. And that's a big problem for me.
- 1:49:35Speaker 7: Ouch. I mean, that doesn't get a lot worse than that, right?
- 1:49:39Speaker 7: He's also anti-capitalism and anti-money. Well, just about anti-everything is
- 1:49:45Speaker 7: what the guy is. And you're the complete opposite, of course.
- 1:49:48Speaker 7: being the Nassau County executive now for the second straight
- 1:49:51Speaker 7: time and running for governor, my dear friend Bruce Blakeman. Hey, Bruce,
- 1:49:54Speaker 7: give me an idea of what's going on in some
- 1:49:57Speaker 7: Congress races in your community. With you right there on
- 1:50:00Speaker 7: that ticket, it's got to help them both. We've talked
- 1:50:02Speaker 7: about this before. One is Janine Driscoll. I really like her.
- 1:50:05Speaker 7: She talks about me every time, whatever. It's Peter King
- 1:50:09Speaker 7: or Joe Cairo. Her kid happens to be friends with
- 1:50:11Speaker 7: my son, Gabe. So Janine Driscoll. And the other guy
- 1:50:14Speaker 7: I like, too, Michael Petri. How do those races look?
- 1:50:18Speaker 10: First of all, Janine Driscoll is going to win. I
- 1:50:21Speaker 10: was at her fundraiser yesterday. It was packed. It was enthusiastic.
- 1:50:26Speaker 10: Mike Lepetri, he's going to win as well. He had
- 1:50:29Speaker 10: a fundraiser up on the North Shore. He had to
- 1:50:31Speaker 10: cancel because Mike Johnson was coming in, but because of
- 1:50:35Speaker 10: the weather, wasn't able to fly in. So Mike's going
- 1:50:37Speaker 10: to reschedule that. But they're both going to win. Mike Lawler, very,
- 1:50:42Speaker 10: very strong, solid member of the House of Representatives. He
- 1:50:46Speaker 10: always does the right thing for his district. So Mike
- 1:50:49Speaker 10: Lawler is going to get reelected in his district. Nicola
- 1:50:52Speaker 10: Lona is looking very good in his district. Andrew Garbarino
- 1:50:56Speaker 10: looking very good. And then we got people like, like
- 1:51:01Speaker 10: Kaylee Buller, Kaylee Buller up, up around Onondaga County. I
- 1:51:07Speaker 10: think she's going to surprise people. We've got a few
- 1:51:10Speaker 10: other races. Look, I believe that we've got an opportunity
- 1:51:14Speaker 10: to bring in anywhere between two and five new Republicans
- 1:51:20Speaker 10: in New York State. We really have that ability. So
- 1:51:26Speaker 10: I'm planning on having long coattails, Sid. This is a
- 1:51:29Speaker 10: team effort, and I'm planning on having those coattails to
- 1:51:33Speaker 10: help our members of Congress, our assembly members, and our
- 1:51:35Speaker 10: Senate members, and those who are running locally this year.
- 1:51:38Speaker 10: So It's a situation where around the country you hear
- 1:51:44Speaker 10: about midterm elections and how it's going to be bad
- 1:51:46Speaker 10: for the Republican Party. But we have the perfect storm
- 1:51:49Speaker 10: here in New York. We've got Zoran Mondami and we've
- 1:51:53Speaker 10: got Kathy Hochul, two people who are universally unliked by
- 1:51:58Speaker 10: the population and the public. Kathy Hochul has made people
- 1:52:03Speaker 10: miserable in the last four years. Zoran Mondami doesn't reflect
- 1:52:07Speaker 10: American values. So regardless of what's going on around the country,
- 1:52:11Speaker 10: I am telling you here in New York State, we
- 1:52:14Speaker 10: are going to have change. People want change. They're tired
- 1:52:19Speaker 10: of one party rule. It's made everybody miserable. They want
- 1:52:22Speaker 10: to be happy again. So that's why they're going to
- 1:52:25Speaker 10: vote for me and they're going to vote straight down
- 1:52:27Speaker 10: the ticket.
- 1:52:28Speaker 7: Oh, God, from your mouth to God's ears. I also,
- 1:52:31Speaker 7: I'm not a big fan of Letitia James. In fact,
- 1:52:33Speaker 7: I can't stand her. Okay? Can't stand her. I'd love
- 1:52:36Speaker 7: to see our girl Saritha win. That's going to be tough,
- 1:52:38Speaker 7: I know, but she is a very impressive young lady.
- 1:52:40Speaker 7: She really is. And Joe Hernandez running for controller against Annapolis.
- 1:52:45Speaker 7: So I know that tomorrow night you would like to
- 1:52:47Speaker 7: be standing right next to me and Danielle with Randy
- 1:52:50Speaker 7: at Yankee Stadium for the Yankees and Red Sox, but
- 1:52:53Speaker 7: something tells me, Bruce Blakeman, that you'll be traveling somewhere
- 1:52:57Speaker 7: across the state to garner more support. What does your
- 1:53:00Speaker 7: week ahead look like?
- 1:53:02Speaker 10: Well, I'm going to be all over the place today.
- 1:53:06Speaker 10: I got about seven stops today. So we'll be going
- 1:53:10Speaker 10: till midnight tonight. Then tomorrow, we're going to be in
- 1:53:14Speaker 10: Rochester and Syracuse. And other than that, the rest of
- 1:53:17Speaker 10: the day is really busy. I look at it day
- 1:53:19Speaker 10: to day. There's so much on my schedule. The nice thing, Sid,
- 1:53:22Speaker 10: is I get so many invitations. People want me to come.
- 1:53:25Speaker 10: And I really wish I could make everything. But You know,
- 1:53:28Speaker 10: with only 36 days left, we still have a lot
- 1:53:31Speaker 10: of work to do. And we've got to pick and
- 1:53:33Speaker 10: choose where we go on a strategic basis. So I'd
- 1:53:36Speaker 10: love to be everywhere. But unfortunately, we have to look
- 1:53:40Speaker 10: at the state, make sure that we get to a
- 1:53:43Speaker 10: lot of different places. But I had a great day
- 1:53:45Speaker 10: in Queens and the Bronx yesterday. Just people who just
- 1:53:50Speaker 10: want change. Dominican American women. I went to an empowerment event.
- 1:53:57Speaker 10: meeting that they had. And they want they don't want communism.
- 1:54:01Speaker 10: They don't want socialism. No, they want to make money.
- 1:54:04Speaker 7: That's right.
- 1:54:04Speaker 10: They want prosperity.
- 1:54:05Speaker 7: That's right.
- 1:54:06Speaker 10: They want their kids to grow up in a community
- 1:54:08Speaker 10: that's safe. So we're making progress in so many different
- 1:54:12Speaker 10: areas and so many different communities.
- 1:54:14Speaker 7: So great to see you, too. Thursday night, Ilmanello with
- 1:54:17Speaker 7: Keith Kantrowitz and my guy crew. They all love you. Kemper,
- 1:54:21Speaker 7: and he wasn't there, but Oranger and Caron wasn't there either,
- 1:54:25Speaker 7: but Al Bope and Elbstein, all those guys, you spoke
- 1:54:28Speaker 7: beautifully in that restaurant on Thursday night in Manhattan and
- 1:54:31Speaker 7: New York City. And it is clear, Bruce, to wrap
- 1:54:34Speaker 7: it up with this, because I'm with you a lot.
- 1:54:35Speaker 7: Wherever you go, wherever you go, any borough, any town,
- 1:54:40Speaker 7: all the way up to Buffalo, they love you in
- 1:54:43Speaker 7: this state. They love you. So you're going to win.
- 1:54:45Speaker 10: Well, thank you, Sid. By the way, I was at Barossa's.
- 1:54:49Speaker 10: I was in Queens last night. People actually applauded when
- 1:54:52Speaker 10: I walked in. I was at Rob Keys in Smithtown
- 1:54:56Speaker 10: out in Suffolk County, which is a very famous restaurant
- 1:54:59Speaker 10: out there.
- 1:55:00Speaker 11: I walked in.
- 1:55:01Speaker 10: I got a standing ovation. People are craving change.
- 1:55:05Speaker 7: Come on. You're getting a standing ovation from me right now.
- 1:55:08Speaker 7: Come on, Bruce.
- 1:55:09Speaker 10: It's not so much me. It's my message. My message
- 1:55:12Speaker 10: is let's get back. to cutting taxes, cutting utility bills,
- 1:55:16Speaker 10: American values, safer neighborhoods. That's what everybody wants. And that's
- 1:55:21Speaker 10: what I can deliver.
- 1:55:22Speaker 7: And you're handsome. And you work with Chris Boyle. Come on.
- 1:55:26Speaker 7: I love Chris.
- 1:55:27Speaker 17: I do.
- 1:55:28Speaker 7: I love him. Hey, Bruce, great job here today. Continued
- 1:55:31Speaker 7: success out there on the road. And I really believe
- 1:55:34Speaker 7: in my heart you're going to win this thing. So
- 1:55:35Speaker 7: keep it up, buddy. We'll talk to you soon.
- 1:55:37Speaker 10: God bless you.
- 1:55:38Speaker 7: God bless you. Bruce Blakeman right there, my brother, Nassau
- 1:55:41Speaker 7: County executive running for governor here in New York. We'll
- 1:55:45Speaker 7: get the news in. And again, he talked about Bucky Dent,
- 1:55:48Speaker 7: that amazing 1978 season. We're going to talk to my friend,
- 1:55:51Speaker 7: the Yankee hero, that big home run. Believe it or not,
- 1:55:54Speaker 7: that home run 48 years ago, 48 years ago, Bucky Dent,
- 1:56:00Speaker 7: that big home run against the Red Sox and the
- 1:56:03Speaker 7: great number 20 will join me coming up right after
- 1:56:05Speaker 7: the news.
- 1:56:06Speaker 21: Sid and Friends in the Morning on the Red Apple
- 1:56:10Speaker 21: Podcast Network.
- 1:56:12Speaker 7: Beautiful weather in the Bronx tomorrow night for the Yankees
- 1:56:16Speaker 7: and the Red Sox. And it looks like it'll be me, Danielle, Gabe,
- 1:56:20Speaker 7: and Justin. Ava is back in Pennsylvania for this first
- 1:56:25Speaker 7: playoff game of the 2026 postseason. I guess the Yanks,

- 1:56:57Speaker 7: Here we go. Come on now. Come on now, Justin.
- 1:57:00Speaker 7: Come on. Did we get to a game three? No,
- 1:57:02Speaker 7: you got to sweep them.
- 1:57:03Speaker 2: Stop it.
- 1:57:05Speaker 7: Is that because you're scared to death of Garrett Cole?
- 1:57:07Speaker 20: Yeah, partially. Come out in the first inning in game three,
- 1:57:11Speaker 20: give up four home runs.
- 1:57:12Speaker 7: I know. Heyman said he doesn't think it's going to
- 1:57:14Speaker 7: get to a game three anyway either.
- 1:57:16Speaker 20: I mean, Schlittler's going to win tomorrow. You got to
- 1:57:19Speaker 20: pretty much, I mean, a 1-9-5 ERA. Come on, the
- 1:57:21Speaker 20: guy doesn't give up any runs.
- 1:57:22Speaker 7: What a year this guy had.
- 1:57:23Speaker 20: Unbelievable.
- 1:57:23Speaker 7: Unbelievable year. Just a great year.
- 1:57:26Speaker 20: And then Max Fried, you know, he's still gearing up.
- 1:57:29Speaker 20: Spent a lot of time on the IL this year,
- 1:57:31Speaker 20: but he's still Max Fried. And you got to work
- 1:57:33Speaker 20: with one of these lefties in this three-game set.
- 1:57:35Speaker 7: Definitely.
- 1:57:36Speaker 20: It was either him or Rodan in game two.
- 1:57:37Speaker 7: And you got to go with Freed. You know, I
- 1:57:39Speaker 7: wanted so desperately to go back to Israel in the
- 1:57:41Speaker 7: next couple of months. I really did. But I can't go.
- 1:57:44Speaker 7: I was going to go back for the October 7th commemoration.
- 1:57:48Speaker 7: Three years. Coming up on three years. I know you
- 1:57:51Speaker 7: people think the war started October the 8th because you
- 1:57:54Speaker 7: hate Israel. You hate the Jews. You know, you try to.
- 1:57:57Speaker 7: camouflage it with, no, it's just anti-Zionist. Shut up. You
- 1:58:01Speaker 7: hate the Jews. Just own it. Just own it. Don't
- 1:58:03Speaker 7: be a bitch. Just own it. These days, you're not
- 1:58:06Speaker 7: ostracized anymore. You're still in the minority. I think you
- 1:58:09Speaker 7: think you're in the majority. You're not. You're not. Most
- 1:58:12Speaker 7: Americans are decent people. They don't hate the Jews. You're
- 1:58:15Speaker 7: still in the minority, but you feel like you're in
- 1:58:16Speaker 7: the majority. So just own it. But I can't go
- 1:58:22Speaker 7: because I got two parties October 10th, three days later.
- 1:58:29Speaker 7: One for Louis and one for Bernie's daughter. Bernard McGurk's
- 1:58:32Speaker 7: daughter is getting married October 10th. The beautiful Melanie. Congratulations
- 1:58:37Speaker 7: to Carol, too, and the whole family. Then I've got
- 1:58:41Speaker 7: a party October the 15th, too. So I said, I'll
- 1:58:43Speaker 7: go November. I'll go November. Can't do that either. I
- 1:58:47Speaker 7: have three weddings in two weeks. Three in two weeks.
- 1:58:53Speaker 7: My cousin Scott Arbuce, I keep bringing him up with
- 1:58:54Speaker 7: the Dallas Cowboys. His son Adam is getting married. We
- 1:58:58Speaker 7: love Scott and Adam. Siggy Flicker, her son is getting married.
- 1:59:03Speaker 7: And Mike Sullivan, Sully's son is getting married all in November.
- 1:59:08Speaker 8: Got to be there.
- 1:59:09Speaker 7: I wanted to go to Pennsylvania to see my daughter
- 1:59:12Speaker 7: Saturday the 7th because I'm going to take Alec to
- 1:59:15Speaker 7: see the Giants and the Eagles in Billy on the 8th.
- 1:59:18Speaker 7: I'm still doing that, mind you. But now we have
- 1:59:20Speaker 7: to leave Sunday morning because Siggy's son gets married the
- 1:59:23Speaker 7: night before. Oh, wow. I got five parties, four weddings
- 1:59:29Speaker 7: in the next two months, and I get invited to everything. Everything.
- 1:59:32Speaker 7: And I very rarely say yes. Very rarely. But Lou Ruffino,
- 1:59:38Speaker 7: Carol McGurk, Scott Arbus, Siggy Flicker, and who am I
- 1:59:44Speaker 7: missing here? And I'm missing one. Carol McGurk, Scott Arbus,
- 1:59:50Speaker 7: Siggy Flicker, Lou Ruffino. I think there's one more. There's
- 1:59:55Speaker 7: no way I'm saying no to any of these. So
- 1:59:57Speaker 7: I got to go to all of them. So that's that. Oh,
- 2:00:00Speaker 7: Mike Sullivan. His son. My man, Sully. You know, his
- 2:00:03Speaker 7: brother is running. He better win this time. You guys
- 2:00:06Speaker 7: better go out and vote for Thomas Sullivan. If you don't,
- 2:00:09Speaker 7: I will. And I mean this. I will personally go
- 2:00:12Speaker 7: to your house and beat you up. Physically, I will
- 2:00:15Speaker 7: beat you up if you don't vote for Tom Sullivan.
- 2:00:18Speaker 7: He got screwed. What is her name again, Louis?
- 2:00:21Speaker 10: Stacey.
- 2:00:21Speaker 7: Come on. Yeah, Stacey Amato cheated. I'm going to say it.
- 2:00:26Speaker 7: I don't care. It's alleged, but you can put your
- 2:00:28Speaker 7: house on it. She cheated because she's got both of
- 2:00:31Speaker 7: her parents, I guess, had some type of power. And
- 2:00:35Speaker 7: Sully got screwed. He needs to win this time. That
- 2:00:38Speaker 7: man served in Iraq, in Afghanistan, in Kuwait, saved people's
- 2:00:42Speaker 7: lives in the World Trade Center. This is a true story.
- 2:00:46Speaker 7: This guy could be a movie, like a Mark Wahlberg movie,
- 2:00:49Speaker 7: except Sully's a little skinny. But this guy is a
- 2:00:52Speaker 7: real hero. He's got to win. Talking about Michael. So, Thomas,
- 2:00:57Speaker 7: go out there and vote for Tom Sullivan. Let's take
- 2:00:59Speaker 7: a short break. When we get back, again, I mentioned it,
- 2:01:02Speaker 7: Game 1, tomorrow night, Yankees, Red Sox, great history, lots
- 2:01:06Speaker 7: of postseason home runs, but the most iconic of all, 1978,
- 2:01:09Speaker 7: the man that hit the home run up, Mike Torres,
- 2:01:14Speaker 7: to get the Yanks to the playoffs.
- 2:01:16Speaker 21: Sid and Friends in the Morning on the Red Apple
- 2:01:20Speaker 21: Podcast Network.
- 2:01:22Speaker 7: Bucky won the World Series MVP in 78, so it
- 2:01:25Speaker 7: didn't stop with the home money hit against Mike Torres
- 2:01:28Speaker 7: to beat the Red Sox. Bucky, I want you to
- 2:01:31Speaker 7: know this. When I go to the Bronx tomorrow night
- 2:01:33Speaker 7: and they sit there with Randy Levine, my wife and
- 2:01:36Speaker 7: my son, I will be wearing the jersey you sent me,
- 2:01:40Speaker 7: the great number 20. that you sent to me at
- 2:01:43Speaker 7: the beginning of the season from Florida. I will be
- 2:01:46Speaker 7: representing Bucky Dent in the Bronx, my friend, tomorrow night.
- 2:01:51Speaker 10: There you go, buddy. I'm glad you got it and
- 2:01:53Speaker 10: glad you're going to wear it. It's going to be
- 2:01:54Speaker 10: a great series, and nobody ever gets tired of the
- 2:01:57Speaker 10: Boston-Yankee-Red Sox rivalry. I'm telling you, it's great, and it's
- 2:02:02Speaker 10: great for both cities, and it's great for baseball.
- 2:02:04Speaker 7: Would you believe it, Bucky? I don't want you to
- 2:02:06Speaker 7: feel old, okay? Trust me, I'm right there with you.
- 2:02:09Speaker 7: Would you believe if I said to you, you hit
- 2:02:11Speaker 7: that home run 48 years ago? Does it feel like
- 2:02:15Speaker 7: almost five decades?
- 2:02:19Speaker 10: No. It seems like yesterday, especially when Boston and Yankees
- 2:02:23Speaker 10: get after it. I mean, you know, always get flashbacks. Oh,
- 2:02:27Speaker 10: it was a great year. Great, you know. 78 team and,
- 2:02:32Speaker 10: you know, just Yankee Red Sox. It just gets in
- 2:02:34Speaker 10: your blood, and I don't think anybody ever gets tired
- 2:02:37Speaker 10: of it, especially, you know, Boston or New York, the fans.
- 2:02:40Speaker 10: They just love it.
- 2:02:41Speaker 7: I want to go inside the head of Bucky Dent.
- 2:02:44Speaker 7: You walk to the plate, right? And I'm sorry. It's
- 2:02:47Speaker 7: almost like Trump. Trump never thought he was going to
- 2:02:49Speaker 7: win the presidency, okay? Turned out to be the greatest
- 2:02:52Speaker 7: president ever, but he never thought he was going to win.
- 2:02:54Speaker 7: And something tells me I don't think you thought you
- 2:02:57Speaker 7: were going to hit a home run in that spot.
- 2:03:00Speaker 7: So when Buggy Dent actually digs those cleats into the
- 2:03:04Speaker 7: ground and is about to face that pitch from Mike Torres,
- 2:03:09Speaker 7: 48 years ago, what were you thinking?
- 2:03:13Speaker 10: I was just trying to get a base hit. We
- 2:03:16Speaker 10: were down and we had two runners on. And I
- 2:03:19Speaker 10: knew it was a situation. The game was getting late,
- 2:03:22Speaker 10: 7th inning. And, you know, the you could feel the
- 2:03:26Speaker 10: tension start to build in the crowd. You know, I mean,
- 2:03:28Speaker 10: everybody would you could just feel the pressure. And I
- 2:03:31Speaker 10: was just looking to get a base hit. I just
- 2:03:32Speaker 10: wanted to hit a base hit and drive in a
- 2:03:34Speaker 10: run and get us going. And, you know, Mike made
- 2:03:37Speaker 10: a mistake. He threw a fastball down and I hit
- 2:03:39Speaker 10: it pretty good. And I really didn't even know it
- 2:03:40Speaker 10: was going to go out. I was just running hard
- 2:03:42Speaker 10: to get to second base because I knew I was
- 2:03:44Speaker 10: a time run. But it wound up, you know. going
- 2:03:48Speaker 10: in the net, and I got a beautiful nickname from
- 2:03:52Speaker 10: that home run, and I love it.
- 2:03:54Speaker 7: F-ing Bucky, right? Is it F-ing Bucky?
- 2:03:57Speaker 10: That's me, baby.
- 2:03:59Speaker 7: What's his name, the actor? I liked him a lot.
- 2:04:02Speaker 7: He was in, oh, come on. He played a writer
- 2:04:04Speaker 7: on that cable show. And he was in that sci-fi thriller, too.
- 2:04:10Speaker 7: Big-time actor. Wrote the book on you. You know who
- 2:04:12Speaker 7: I'm talking about?
- 2:04:13Speaker 10: Yeah, I know who you're talking about.
- 2:04:15Speaker 7: What the hell is his name? He had a sex problem, actually.
- 2:04:17Speaker 7: He had to go away.
- 2:04:18Speaker 10: Oh, boy.
- 2:04:19Speaker 7: He did. He did. But I like the guy.
- 2:04:21Speaker 10: He's good.
- 2:04:21Speaker 7: He's a funny guy. Good-looking guy. I forgot his name,
- 2:04:23Speaker 7: but he wrote the book on you. So, you know,
- 2:04:25Speaker 7: people don't mention this enough. Not only did you hit
- 2:04:28Speaker 7: the home run to beat Boston, but does anybody ever
- 2:04:31Speaker 7: say to you, hey, way to go? You won the
- 2:04:33Speaker 7: World Series MVP that year.
- 2:04:35Speaker 10: No, that's kind of like overlooked. You know, I mean,
- 2:04:39Speaker 10: that game was so special. It was such a big
- 2:04:41Speaker 10: moment that day. And everybody was, you know, it was
- 2:04:44Speaker 10: like the whole world stopped to watch it. And, you know,
- 2:04:48Speaker 10: people kind of forget that I was the MVP of
- 2:04:50Speaker 10: the World Series in 78. You know, Reggie put on
- 2:04:52Speaker 10: that great display in 77, hitting those three home runs. And,
- 2:04:56Speaker 10: you know, they never really say much about me winning
- 2:05:00Speaker 10: the World Series MVP.
- 2:05:02Speaker 7: No, they never do. I don't understand that. I don't
- 2:05:05Speaker 7: get it. David Duchovny is the name of the actor
- 2:05:07Speaker 7: we're looking for. That is David Duchovny. So I want
- 2:05:11Speaker 7: to get to this current Yankee team, but you came
- 2:05:14Speaker 7: over the same year as Reggie, the same offseason, right? 1977.
- 2:05:17Speaker 7: You know, the Yankees had just gotten swept by the
- 2:05:20Speaker 7: Cincinnati Reds in the World Series, and getting there wasn't
- 2:05:23Speaker 7: good enough for Steinbrenner. He was embarrassed. He was embarrassed.
- 2:05:26Speaker 7: He got swept by the Reds. So he went out
- 2:05:28Speaker 7: there and he got Reggie, and they made a deal
- 2:05:30Speaker 7: with the White Sox to get you, right?
- 2:05:32Speaker 10: Yes, I was kind of like the last piece of
- 2:05:34Speaker 10: the puzzle. You know, I got traded. Reggie went through
- 2:05:37Speaker 10: spring training with him. You know, he got to be
- 2:05:39Speaker 10: there in spring training. I got traded the last day
- 2:05:42Speaker 10: of spring training. You know, the Yankees had an off day.
- 2:05:46Speaker 10: The White Sox had an off day. We were supposed
- 2:05:48Speaker 10: to go to play in Toronto with the White Sox. And,
- 2:05:52Speaker 10: you know, I walked back in to get a bag
- 2:05:55Speaker 10: out of the apartment and the phone rang and I
- 2:05:58Speaker 10: picked it up and I hear this voice go, is
- 2:06:00Speaker 10: this Bucky Dent? I go, yeah. He goes, this is
- 2:06:02Speaker 10: George Steinbrenner. And I go, get out of here. I
- 2:06:04Speaker 10: thought somebody was playing a joke on me, you know.
- 2:06:07Speaker 10: But he says, if you sign your contract, you know,
- 2:06:12Speaker 10: you'll be a Yankee. And the Yankees, they were my team.
- 2:06:16Speaker 10: So I was excited to come over.
- 2:06:18Speaker 7: You were? They were your team? Where'd you grow up again?
- 2:06:21Speaker 10: Florida, you know, I grew up in Florida, but we
- 2:06:23Speaker 10: used to get the Yankee World Series games on black
- 2:06:26Speaker 10: and white TV when I was a kid in elementary school. Yeah,
- 2:06:29Speaker 10: because they were in it every year. So I became
- 2:06:31Speaker 10: a huge Mickey Mantle fan. And, you know, coming over
- 2:06:35Speaker 10: to the Yankees was my dream.
- 2:06:36Speaker 7: Oh, that's awesome.
- 2:06:37Speaker 10: That's right.
- 2:06:37Speaker 7: Father, because you met your wife, God rest her soul
- 2:06:40Speaker 7: as a Gator, right? Both Gators. And you're still down
- 2:06:44Speaker 7: there in Delray Beach or Boca, wherever the hell you are.
- 2:06:46Speaker 7: I don't know.
- 2:06:47Speaker 10: No, I'm in Sarasota, Bradenton area.
- 2:06:49Speaker 7: Oh, you are? Okay, so you moved. It's still pretty.
- 2:06:51Speaker 7: Still pretty. Very, very nice. So you get to the
- 2:06:54Speaker 7: Yankees in 77, and then you go on. You manage
- 2:06:57Speaker 7: a team for a little while. So you've got this
- 2:06:59Speaker 7: great Yankee history. So one more. When Bucky Dent, if
- 2:07:02Speaker 7: you were coming tomorrow night or Wednesday, walks into the Bronx,
- 2:07:05Speaker 7: especially during a Red Sox game, do these modern-day fans
- 2:07:10Speaker 7: know the hero that you are?
- 2:07:12Speaker 10: No, not really.
- 2:07:13Speaker 7: Oh, God.
- 2:07:15Speaker 10: You know, we were just there. We were just there
- 2:07:19Speaker 10: their last series, their homestand. We were there Thursday and Friday,
- 2:07:22Speaker 10: my wife and I. We did a couple appearances and
- 2:07:24Speaker 10: stuff like that. But, you know, any time you walk
- 2:07:27Speaker 10: into Yankee Stadium, you've got to get chills because of
- 2:07:31Speaker 10: the history, you know, what the Yankees stand for, the pinstripes,
- 2:07:35Speaker 10: you know. It's just hard to explain when you walk
- 2:07:40Speaker 10: in that place the feeling you get.
- 2:07:42Speaker 7: No, but you just made me sad, man. I mean,
- 2:07:44Speaker 7: you're Bucky effing Dent. You should walk in and get mobbed.
- 2:07:46Speaker 7: I mean, I get mobbed. Nobody. I never hit one
- 2:07:49Speaker 7: home run for the Yankees.
- 2:07:51Speaker 10: I'm going to be 75 years old next month.
- 2:07:53Speaker 7: Exactly. Bucky, I'm not just saying this to make you
- 2:07:56Speaker 7: feel good. You look so good. And in fact, I
- 2:07:59Speaker 7: do have to say this. When you were on the Yankees,
- 2:08:01Speaker 7: because you're such a good-looking guy, and you still are,
- 2:08:04Speaker 7: mind you, every woman in New York wanted you. You
- 2:08:07Speaker 7: ought to split the city between Bucky Dent with the
- 2:08:10Speaker 7: Yankees and Lima Zilli of the Mets. Is that not right?
- 2:08:14Speaker 10: That's right. We wound up getting traded for each other.
- 2:08:16Speaker 7: Is that right? I forgot that. You did?
- 2:08:19Speaker 10: I got traded to Texas for Lee. We joke about
- 2:08:21Speaker 10: it all the time.
- 2:08:22Speaker 7: Oh, my God. Yeah, you guys were the women love
- 2:08:25Speaker 7: both of you guys. Bucky with the Yankees and Lee.
- 2:08:27Speaker 7: God bless you. You still look great at 75. And
- 2:08:30Speaker 7: Fergus will go out there and take a couple of
- 2:08:31Speaker 7: ground balls. The Yankees shortstop has been a wild ride
- 2:08:35Speaker 7: this year. They started with Volpe, and that didn't work out.
- 2:08:37Speaker 7: They went to Caballeros, which was actually pretty good. And
- 2:08:40Speaker 7: they eventually brought up the youngster. I like this kid
- 2:08:42Speaker 7: a lot, George Lombard. What are your thoughts on that
- 2:08:44Speaker 7: position moving forward?
- 2:08:46Speaker 10: I like him a lot also. You know, actually, two
- 2:08:49Speaker 10: years ago, the Yankees invited me back to spring training
- 2:08:52Speaker 10: for the first time in 20 years, and I got
- 2:08:53Speaker 10: to see him then, and I got to see him
- 2:08:56Speaker 10: this past spring training. I was back there, and, you know,
- 2:08:59Speaker 10: he's a great young player, and he's a great young kid,
- 2:09:02Speaker 10: and he's got a bright future. You know, he's, you know, it's,
- 2:09:08Speaker 10: you know, he just, he has that dip factor, you know,
- 2:09:11Speaker 10: as far as playing shortstop. And, you know, he's made
- 2:09:14Speaker 10: a couple mistakes early, you know, but that's growing pains. And,
- 2:09:17Speaker 10: you know, he's going to get a great experience, you know,
- 2:09:20Speaker 10: playing in his first playoff game, especially against Boston. But
- 2:09:24Speaker 10: I think he's going to be an outstanding player.
- 2:09:26Speaker 7: I think the offense, you know, look, it's kind of
- 2:09:28Speaker 7: been up and down all year, and obviously that's because
- 2:09:30Speaker 7: of injuries. Aaron Judge has not played much this year.
- 2:09:33Speaker 7: Giancarlo Stanton has not played much this year. Even Bellinger
- 2:09:36Speaker 7: was hurt for some time. The catcher position has been
- 2:09:39Speaker 7: a nightmare offensively. The third base position, Ryan McMahon, they'll
- 2:09:43Speaker 7: probably play Bolpe in the playoffs. So the offense has
- 2:09:46Speaker 7: had its struggles all season long. Do you think that
- 2:09:49Speaker 7: comes back to bite the Yankees in this postseason, or
- 2:09:52Speaker 7: do you think moving forward they'll be okay?
- 2:09:54Speaker 10: Well, here's the thing. They miss the presence and the
- 2:09:58Speaker 10: protection of Judge and Stanton in the lineup. Let's not
- 2:10:02Speaker 10: say anything more than they miss him, but they've learned
- 2:10:06Speaker 10: to win without them. I think the guy that stepped
- 2:10:11Speaker 10: up really, really well has been Ben Rice. I got
- 2:10:16Speaker 10: to be around him in spring training. He's a gritty kid.
- 2:10:19Speaker 10: He's got a good sense of humor, and I think
- 2:10:23Speaker 10: he's grown into that, being a guy present.
- 2:10:28Speaker 7: In the lineup.
- 2:10:29Speaker 10: I mean, he hit 41 home runs and 90-something RBIs,
- 2:10:33Speaker 10: and he's picked it up. Judge went down, and Rice
- 2:10:36Speaker 10: picked it up for them. And I think he's been
- 2:10:39Speaker 10: a big factor for them. But the Yankees have learned
- 2:10:42Speaker 10: to win without Judge in the lineup and Stanton, you know,
- 2:10:46Speaker 10: They struggled a little bit more when Bellinger went down,
- 2:10:48Speaker 10: but he's back, and I think they're going to be fine.
- 2:10:52Speaker 10: It's just, can they play defense, and can they do
- 2:10:55Speaker 10: the little things that have beaten them in the past
- 2:10:58Speaker 10: in the postseasons? Not covering first, not fielding a bunt,
- 2:11:02Speaker 10: throwing the ball to the right bases. When you play
- 2:11:05Speaker 10: in a series... you know, against good teams and good pitching,
- 2:11:10Speaker 10: you can't make those kinds of mistakes. So, but I,
- 2:11:13Speaker 10: I think they still got a great chance. Look, they
- 2:11:15Speaker 10: got a great rotation. You know, they've got a kid, Slitter,
- 2:11:19Speaker 10: that's going to be probably the Cy Young. I mean,
- 2:11:21Speaker 10: he's got tremendous grit. You've got Freed. You've got Cole
- 2:11:25Speaker 10: going one, two, and three. I think they've got a
- 2:11:27Speaker 10: really good chance of beating the Red Sox.
- 2:11:29Speaker 7: That is a vicious one, two, three. Torrey had some
- 2:11:31Speaker 7: great pitching, too, when the Yankees got to the World Series.
- 2:11:34Speaker 7: Six times with him, they won four of those. You
- 2:11:36Speaker 7: had a couple of pretty good guys. Ron Guidry, he
- 2:11:38Speaker 7: wasn't bad. I think you had Catfish, too. So you
- 2:11:41Speaker 7: had a pretty good rotation back then, right?
- 2:11:43Speaker 10: Right. We had a good presence in the rotation, and
- 2:11:47Speaker 10: we had a really good back into the bullpen with
- 2:11:50Speaker 10: Sparky Lyle and Goose Gossage.
- 2:11:53Speaker 7: That's right. You know, we talk about Torrey all the
- 2:11:55Speaker 7: time with Stanton and Nelson and Mariano and Wetland, but
- 2:11:59Speaker 7: you guys with Sparky and Goose, you couldn't hit those guys.
- 2:12:02Speaker 7: Those guys were amazing.
- 2:12:03Speaker 10: No, and I saw that from the fact that because
- 2:12:06Speaker 10: I was coaching with Texas in 96, we played the
- 2:12:08Speaker 10: Yankees 96, 98, and 99 in the first round of
- 2:12:12Speaker 10: the playoffs. We won the first game, and we never
- 2:12:15Speaker 10: won another one. We lost nine straight because of their
- 2:12:18Speaker 10: pitching and their back end of their bullpen. They just
- 2:12:21Speaker 10: matched up really well with the Yankees. with the Texas lineup. And,
- 2:12:25Speaker 10: you know, so I got to see that firsthand, but
- 2:12:27Speaker 10: the Yankees, you know, they, they, they've, they've shown some
- 2:12:32Speaker 10: grit down the stretch by, you know, winning some tough
- 2:12:35Speaker 10: ball games. And I think it really helped them, you know,
- 2:12:39Speaker 10: to be without judge and learn how to play without him.
- 2:12:43Speaker 10: and some of the younger kids stepped up, look, Spencer
- 2:12:45Speaker 10: Jones got in the lineup and he's, he's done.
- 2:12:48Speaker 7: Really, really well. You know, Lombard has.
- 2:12:50Speaker 10: Done really, really well. And so those, those young kids
- 2:12:53Speaker 10: are growing, you know, and so, you know, the big
- 2:12:57Speaker 10: thing is going to be for them is, you know,
- 2:12:59Speaker 10: playing defense and, and, not making big mistakes in certain situations.
- 2:13:03Speaker 7: All right, Bucky, last one. It's so great to talk
- 2:13:05Speaker 7: to you. You really are terrific. You know that. You're
- 2:13:07Speaker 7: such a great guy. Take me to tomorrow night, first pitch,
