• 1:23
  Speaker 8: and with there's scum. You know what scum is. There's scum.
• 1:26
  Speaker 8: There's sick people.
• 1:27
  Speaker 9: They're lit by sick people, and they're vicious, violent people,
• 1:33
  Speaker 9: and if they had a nuclear weapon.
• 1:34
  Speaker 8: They'd use it.
• 1:35
  Speaker 9: As far as I'm concerned, it's over. I'll speak to
• 1:37
  Speaker 9: our negotiators. They want to negotiate. They're good people. Please
• 1:41
  Speaker 9: dig with Gough Jared.
• 1:43
  Speaker 8: Kusher, but they have to come back to me.
• 1:45
  Speaker 9: As far as I'm concerned, it's just a waste of
• 1:48
  Speaker 9: time dealing with them.
• 1:48
  Speaker 8: They're liars.
• 1:50
  Speaker 9: We make a deal, and if I make a deal
• 1:53
  Speaker 9: with him, we have a deal, and he goes out,
• 1:54
  Speaker 9: he talks, We make a deal, everyone's agreed, no nuclear weapon.
• 1:59
  Speaker 9: We make a deal. They go outside, talk to the press.
• 2:01
  Speaker 9: They say, we never even talked about it. There's something
• 2:04
  Speaker 9: wrong with them. They're cuckoo. Far as I'm concerned, it's over.
• 2:11
  Speaker 10: It's well resume after we get through the you know,
• 2:14
  Speaker 10: see things. What does this mean that talks with their
• 2:17
  Speaker 10: eye will not resume.
• 2:18
  Speaker 8: I don't care.
• 2:18
  Speaker 9: They can talk, but I think they're wasting their time.
• 2:21
  Speaker 9: They're a bunch of lion guys. I do it my
• 2:23
  Speaker 9: whole life. That's all I do is deals. My whole
• 2:25
  Speaker 9: life is That's how it became president. I guess that's
• 2:27
  Speaker 9: a deal too, right. But I made a lot of money.
• 2:30
  Speaker 9: I had a lot of great success, now tremendous success.
• 2:34
  Speaker 9: Everything I did I was successful. And I deal with
• 2:36
  Speaker 9: these guys and I say, this is from a different school.
• 2:40
  Speaker 9: They are liars, they are cheats, they're sick people. They've
• 2:44
  Speaker 9: hurt their people. They killed fifty four thousand people as
• 2:48
  Speaker 9: of now that we're protesting. You know, when people say
• 2:51
  Speaker 9: how come they have been taken over? They can't take
• 2:53
  Speaker 9: over because they're dead.
• 2:55
  Speaker 8: They killed them.
• 2:56
  Speaker 9: Nobody's going to take over. They have no guns and
• 2:58
  Speaker 9: the other side has machine guns and they're killing him.
• 3:01
  Speaker 9: The press doesn't reported, but they're bad people. They're bad people,
• 3:06
  Speaker 9: and frankly, I don't want to waste my time with him.
• 3:11
  Speaker 8: Now.
• 3:12
  Speaker 9: I'll let our wonderful negotiators keep talking if they want.
• 3:15
  Speaker 9: But I don't see it. I don't like these people,
• 3:18
  Speaker 9: you know that. I like him, I like the leaders
• 3:21
  Speaker 9: I like I think all of these leaders. I think
• 3:24
  Speaker 9: they didn't treat the United States fairly for many years.
• 3:27
  Speaker 8: But that's okay. But but they're sane, rational, good people,
• 3:32
  Speaker 8: most of them. I don't like a couple of them,
• 3:33
  Speaker 8: to be honest, but they're a couple. I don't like Munchet.
• 3:37
  Speaker 11: I like one.
• 3:38
  Speaker 7: I'll tell you I like President one.
• 3:40
  Speaker 9: I can tell you we're going to be taking the
• 3:42
  Speaker 9: sanctions off, Okay. I don't want him to waste his
• 3:47
  Speaker 9: time answering that question. Because we're working very closely with
• 3:52
  Speaker 9: Marco Rubio, a very famous man, great Secretary of State,
• 3:56
  Speaker 9: and with Scott Bessett, and with Pete and everybody else.
• 4:00
  Speaker 9: We're going to be taking to sanctions off. It's time
• 4:02
  Speaker 9: to do that, Okay.
• 4:07
  Speaker 8: We don't want to sanctioned friends.
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: It's very simple.
• 4:10
  Speaker 12: Turkey is a great country, but it's governed by a
• 4:13
  Speaker 12: man who calls openly for the annihilation of Israel. He
• 4:17
  Speaker 12: occupies half of Cyprus, a NATO country. He's threateneding Greece,
• 4:21
  Speaker 12: another NATO country, and he talks openly about conquering Jerusalem
• 4:25
  Speaker 12: as a foreign minister. Is number two said that the
• 4:29
  Speaker 12: Jewish state hasn't a place among humanity. Basically, it has
• 4:33
  Speaker 12: to be wiped out. His interior minister, he looked, said
• 4:36
  Speaker 12: he looks forward to be the governor of Jerusalem. Well
• 4:40
  Speaker 12: for a regime infected by the Muslim Brotherhood, an extreme
• 4:44
  Speaker 12: movement that hates America and chance death to America from
• 4:48
  Speaker 12: that side of the spectrum.
• 4:53
  Speaker 9: Well, it's a decision we're going to make. We have
• 4:58
  Speaker 9: a very good relationship. I would think that many people.
• 5:02
  Speaker 9: I can tell you many people, including the people sitting
• 5:06
  Speaker 9: right here, thinks you know, why wouldn't we do that.
• 5:08
  Speaker 9: We have a better relationship with Turkey, and Turkey's been
• 5:11
  Speaker 9: in many ways much more loyal than other countries that
• 5:14
  Speaker 9: we think would be loyal.
• 5:15
  Speaker 8: What so well, Yeah, something certainly we would consider.
• 5:19
  Speaker 9: It's a great plane, it's the best currently the best
• 5:22
  Speaker 9: plane by far, and it's.
• 5:26
  Speaker 8: Certainly something we will consider. Yeah.
• 5:28
  Speaker 12: I don't think they should be given F thirty five's
• 5:30
  Speaker 12: or the engines for there for their fighter judge, because
• 5:33
  Speaker 12: that'll upset the power balance in the Middle East, which
• 5:36
  Speaker 12: is ultimately guaranteed by Israeli air superiority and also by
• 5:42
  Speaker 12: I think by America's posta in the Middle East.
• 5:44
  Speaker 13: Donald Trump is on the line, and we know him
• 5:47
  Speaker 13: as the man behind lots of real estate in Manhattan.
• 5:49
  Speaker 13: And of course, Donald, I understand you were actually a
• 5:53
  Speaker 13: witness to what happened this morning.
• 5:55
  Speaker 14: Well, I have a window that looks directly at the
• 5:57
  Speaker 14: World Trade Center, and I saw is this huge explosion.
• 6:01
  Speaker 14: I was with a group of people, and you really
• 6:04
  Speaker 14: couldn't even believe it. And even I think worse than that.
• 6:08
  Speaker 14: For years, I've looked right directly at the building. I'd
• 6:10
  Speaker 14: see the Empire State Building of the foreground and the
• 6:13
  Speaker 14: World Trade Center of the background. And now I'm looking
• 6:16
  Speaker 14: at absolutely nothing. It's just gone, and it's just hard
• 6:19
  Speaker 14: to believe.
• 6:20
  Speaker 15: Donald, you have one of the landmark buildings down in
• 6:23
  Speaker 15: the financial district, forty Wall Street. Did you have any
• 6:26
  Speaker 15: damage or did you know what's happened down there?
• 6:29
  Speaker 14: Well, it was an amazing phone call I made. Forty
• 6:31
  Speaker 14: Wall Street actually was the second tallest building in downtown Manhattan,
• 6:35
  Speaker 14: and it was actually before the World Trade Center was
• 6:38
  Speaker 14: the tallest and then when they built the World Trade Center,
• 6:41
  Speaker 14: became known as the second tallest, and now it's the tallest.
• 6:43
  Speaker 14: And I just spoke to my people and they said
• 6:46
  Speaker 14: it's the most unbelievable site. It's probably seven or eight
• 6:51
  Speaker 14: blocks away from the World Trade Center, and yet Wall
• 6:54
  Speaker 14: Street is littered with two feet of stone and brick
• 6:58
  Speaker 14: and mortar and steel. And there are thousands of people
• 7:02
  Speaker 14: walking over the debris over the Brooklyn Bridge where they're
• 7:06
  Speaker 14: sending them out over the Brooklyn Bridge to Brooklyn and
• 7:09
  Speaker 14: then I guess they're going to have to figure out
• 7:10
  Speaker 14: how to get home from there. But they have between
• 7:13
  Speaker 14: a foot and two feet of debris right in front
• 7:16
  Speaker 14: of a building that's probably you would say Allen, six
• 7:19
  Speaker 14: or seven blocks away seventy seven WABCS.
• 7:22
  Speaker 16: Sid Rosenberg has been elected to the New York State
• 7:24
  Speaker 16: Broadcasters Association Hall of Fame Class of twenty twenty six,
• 7:27
  Speaker 16: stating that it is nothing short of surreal to be
• 7:29
  Speaker 16: recognized as one of the industries all time great.
• 7:32
  Speaker 4: Garrett see Wright and Barrett Media mentioned the fact that again,
• 7:37
  Speaker 4: I know you're going to hear this a lot. I'm sorry,
• 7:39
  Speaker 4: but it is what it is. Until October the twenty second,
• 7:43
  Speaker 4: i'd been I guess elected or not inducted. Maybe I've
• 7:47
  Speaker 4: been inducted. I'm not even sure yet. We'll talk to
• 7:49
  Speaker 4: David Donovan on this program in the seven am hour today.
• 7:53
  Speaker 4: He happens to be the president of the New York
• 7:56
  Speaker 4: State Broadcasters Association inducted into the Hall of Fame. I
• 8:00
  Speaker 4: did mention last week. There are seven people in the
• 8:04
  Speaker 4: twenty twenty six Hall of Fame class. Four of them
• 8:09
  Speaker 4: I've never heard of any new radio in Glen's Falls
• 8:13
  Speaker 4: and Rochester and maybe even Albany or Syracuse, the northern
• 8:17
  Speaker 4: part of the state. But there are three very recognizable
• 8:21
  Speaker 4: names being inducted, one being me, the others Rosanna Scato,
• 8:26
  Speaker 4: my dear friend who hosts Good Day in New York
• 8:28
  Speaker 4: on Channel five every morning. Congratulations to Rosanna and a
• 8:32
  Speaker 4: man that just stepped down because he's battling I guess Alzheimer's,
• 8:38
  Speaker 4: and that is Channel seven ABC's Bill Ritter. So seven
• 8:42
  Speaker 4: of us go in October the twenty second and yesterday,
• 8:46
  Speaker 4: and the reason why David Donovan is coming on today.
• 8:49
  Speaker 4: Yesterday was today that the NYSBA sent out their press
• 8:55
  Speaker 4: release to all of the newspapers and radio journals and
• 9:00
  Speaker 4: TV stations and all that all around the city and
• 9:05
  Speaker 4: country talking about the seven folks getting in. Now there
• 9:09
  Speaker 4: is one point of contention before I get to the
• 9:13
  Speaker 4: big stories. And you know, somebody, just Rios, has sent
• 9:16
  Speaker 4: me a text said you should be playing your appearance
• 9:20
  Speaker 4: with Rachel Campos and Griff Jenkins and Charlie Hurt on
• 9:25
  Speaker 4: Fox News two weeks ago Sunday all day to day.
• 9:28
  Speaker 4: And we did put part of it in the open
• 9:30
  Speaker 4: where I said there will never be a deal. Never
• 9:34
  Speaker 4: forget about the MoU and the deal. It'll never happen. Never.
• 9:39
  Speaker 4: I've said that for months months. We have not won
• 9:43
  Speaker 4: the war. We have not won it, and there'll be
• 9:45
  Speaker 4: no deal. The Iranians won't do it. If they do it,
• 9:49
  Speaker 4: they'll never comply. And boom, President Trump. It looks like
• 9:54
  Speaker 4: who knows changes his mind by the day. But it
• 9:58
  Speaker 4: looks like he's in the place that I've been for
• 10:01
  Speaker 4: the better part of four months, dating back to that
• 10:04
  Speaker 4: Tuesday night many months ago. You remember, know him when
• 10:07
  Speaker 4: he threatened to annihilate Eton. He didn't do it. He
• 10:10
  Speaker 4: didn't do it. A lot of ceasefires, a lot of extensions,
• 10:14
  Speaker 4: a lot of patience, nonsense, all nonsense. These people don't care.
• 10:22
  Speaker 4: But before I get to all that, the point of
• 10:25
  Speaker 4: contention is is I guess and Donovan can clear this
• 10:28
  Speaker 4: up later on this morning when you have this Hall
• 10:32
  Speaker 4: of Fame ceremony, which again is October the twenty second,
• 10:36
  Speaker 4: at the beautiful Rainbow Room, I guess somebody has to,
• 10:41
  Speaker 4: don't They give you an award if they they're the
• 10:44
  Speaker 4: one who kind of puts you in. Like the NFL
• 10:47
  Speaker 4: Hall of Bam. You've seen that, the football Hall of Beam.
• 10:49
  Speaker 4: Somebody comes up and they call it a presenter, right,
• 10:53
  Speaker 4: So when Don Schuler made the Hall of Game, I
• 10:55
  Speaker 4: think it was Dan Marino because he was his quarterback
• 10:58
  Speaker 4: in Miami for many many years, and vice versa. I
• 11:00
  Speaker 4: don't know. So there's a lot of people who A
• 11:04
  Speaker 4: want to be my presenter and B deserved to be
• 11:08
  Speaker 4: my presenter. Let's take a look right here. John Katsumatides,
• 11:14
  Speaker 4: my dear friend and the amazing owner here. He has
• 11:18
  Speaker 4: every bit the right to present me that day going
• 11:22
  Speaker 4: into the Hall of Fame. Because we all know that
• 11:24
  Speaker 4: when Cumulus own this station, everything fell apart. It all
• 11:29
  Speaker 4: fell apart. Four stations one morning, one station the next,
• 11:35
  Speaker 4: No I'm not even kidding you, Nash Gon ninety five
• 11:39
  Speaker 4: point five WPLJ Gon. I think we did have two.
• 11:43
  Speaker 4: We had that urban station that eventually went away as well,
• 11:46
  Speaker 4: but one from four to one, John came in. John
• 11:49
  Speaker 4: and Margo God bless him, love them both, and now
• 11:52
  Speaker 4: look at us. So John could easily be that guy.
• 11:54
  Speaker 4: Then you've got Chad even before John and Margo arrived
• 11:58
  Speaker 4: on the scene, was the only guy in this city
• 12:02
  Speaker 4: who had the balls to bring me back. Well, we
• 12:05
  Speaker 4: talk about President Trump being the only president in the
• 12:09
  Speaker 4: last seven to have the balls and the courage, which
• 12:12
  Speaker 4: is true to go after Iran despite the promises of
• 12:16
  Speaker 4: many other presidents. Same thing in my business, A lot
• 12:20
  Speaker 4: of program directors, a lot of sales managers. Yeah, it's
• 12:23
  Speaker 4: time to bring sid back from Florida. Did they do it? Now?
• 12:28
  Speaker 4: The guy that did it Chared Lopez, and Chad has
• 12:31
  Speaker 4: been the guy that all of his visions when it
• 12:34
  Speaker 4: comes to digital, when it comes to the social media platforms,
• 12:39
  Speaker 4: he's been the guy. So like John Katzmatidis, Chared Lopez
• 12:44
  Speaker 4: could he easily be the guy? I spoke to Craig
• 12:47
  Speaker 4: Carton a couple of weeks ago. You know, Craig and
• 12:49
  Speaker 4: I first worked together, believe it or not, at the
• 12:53
  Speaker 4: very beginning of my career late nineteen nineties at sports
• 12:57
  Speaker 4: Line USA in South Florida. Me and Scott Kaplan hosted
• 13:02
  Speaker 4: one show internet radio, Craig Carton hosted the other. That
• 13:06
  Speaker 4: was even before Craig and I worked together because I
• 13:09
  Speaker 4: recommended him if the Scott was gone at one or
• 13:12
  Speaker 4: two point seven FMWWEW in New York. And we had
• 13:16
  Speaker 4: a miserable time for many, many years, but clearly we
• 13:21
  Speaker 4: up fixed that. I can make the argument that Craig
• 13:25
  Speaker 4: Carton is one of my best friends in this business.
• 13:27
  Speaker 4: I love the guy. He's doing great work at WAYN,
• 13:32
  Speaker 4: still does a big time podcast for Fox Sports One.
• 13:35
  Speaker 4: He could be that guy. I mean, the list goes
• 13:38
  Speaker 4: on and on. Could be Scott Kaplan, my very first
• 13:41
  Speaker 4: ever radio partner. Could be Chris Alavero, who weapons to
• 13:45
  Speaker 4: run all eight Odyssey stations in New York. Could be
• 13:48
  Speaker 4: Mark Chernoff, gave me my first opportunity at WAYN. The
• 13:53
  Speaker 4: list goes on and on. Could be my son Gabriel,
• 13:57
  Speaker 4: who's actually considering doing radio because of Dad. But there's
• 14:01
  Speaker 4: one guy who truly believes in his heart of hearts.
• 14:06
  Speaker 4: He should be that guy, and I can't argue that either.
• 14:09
  Speaker 4: And I feel like he's getting angry when I mentioned
• 14:13
  Speaker 4: anybody else, anybody else possibly doing the presenting you me. Yes, you,
• 14:22
  Speaker 4: you are going to be furious if you're sitting there
• 14:26
  Speaker 4: at the table and somebody else is standing next to
• 14:29
  Speaker 4: me on stage about to present me to the Hall
• 14:33
  Speaker 4: of Fame.
• 14:34
  Speaker 17: Well, there could be a couple of obvious reasons for that.
• 14:38
  Speaker 4: Yeah, give me one.
• 14:40
  Speaker 17: The mere fact that you, as of a week and
• 14:44
  Speaker 17: a half ago, without any prompting from me, remind you,
• 14:49
  Speaker 17: and I want you to give me the award.
• 14:52
  Speaker 4: Wait a second, No, no, no, no, Did I get that
• 14:55
  Speaker 4: right now? Where it was that? I don't know. I
• 14:57
  Speaker 4: swear to God, I don't remember.
• 14:59
  Speaker 17: That ten feet from where I'm sitting.
• 15:01
  Speaker 4: It was in the office, it was in the hall.
• 15:03
  Speaker 4: It wasn't in the car with Jeane on the way
• 15:05
  Speaker 4: to work. I don't even remember this. No one, did
• 15:09
  Speaker 4: you hear this?
• 15:09
  Speaker 18: I did not know.
• 15:10
  Speaker 4: Is there any tape of this anywhere?
• 15:13
  Speaker 19: Oh?
• 15:13
  Speaker 17: Okay, so as long as I've known you that now
• 15:16
  Speaker 17: I have to provide a tape.
• 15:18
  Speaker 4: I just don't remember the conversation. I'm not calling you
• 15:21
  Speaker 4: a liar.
• 15:22
  Speaker 17: No, it sounds like you are.
• 15:23
  Speaker 4: No.
• 15:24
  Speaker 17: No, no, I just said necessarily these years now I
• 15:26
  Speaker 17: have to provide evidence with conversations that well, I just.
• 15:29
  Speaker 4: Don't know why I would say that when I've got
• 15:31
  Speaker 4: nineteen different people that have been asking to Oh.
• 15:34
  Speaker 17: You told me the fry was twelve twenty, showed me
• 15:36
  Speaker 17: taper that you showed me that you told me that.
• 15:38
  Speaker 4: Well you were wrong, it was twelve fifty one, right.
• 15:40
  Speaker 17: Okay, Well maybe it was just one of your little
• 15:44
  Speaker 17: noise things that come out of you with.
• 15:46
  Speaker 4: I don't know that.
• 15:47
  Speaker 8: It could be.
• 15:49
  Speaker 4: I don't remember saying that. I don't know.
• 15:51
  Speaker 17: Okay, well that's one.
• 15:52
  Speaker 4: Well, let me ask you, if you want to make
• 15:54
  Speaker 4: a case for yourself ahead of all these other great
• 15:58
  Speaker 4: people I just mentioned, what would it be? Why should
• 16:02
  Speaker 4: you be that guy?
• 16:03
  Speaker 17: Okay, I could make a case for me, and of
• 16:05
  Speaker 17: course you made a good case for all of those candidates.
• 16:08
  Speaker 17: And there's quite a long list.
• 16:10
  Speaker 4: Yeah I left out about ten or fifteen people.
• 16:13
  Speaker 17: Of course, there's a long list, right, that have been
• 16:16
  Speaker 17: an influence or have helped and who have been good
• 16:19
  Speaker 17: for you all these years. My case is I actually
• 16:24
  Speaker 17: knew when I started working with you, and I mentioned
• 16:28
  Speaker 17: it probably back then, and I continue to mention it
• 16:31
  Speaker 17: to this day. Am I surprised this stuff is happening
• 16:35
  Speaker 17: for you? No, Am, I surprised because what have I
• 16:40
  Speaker 17: told you on a constant basis? What have I told you?
• 16:43
  Speaker 17: I knew you were going to be if as long
• 16:46
  Speaker 17: as you stayed in the business, I said, I always
• 16:48
  Speaker 17: knew you had super talent. You were excellent doing what
• 16:53
  Speaker 17: you're doing, entertaining sports news stuff. What was going on.
• 16:57
  Speaker 17: You're smart, You're hilarious. I knew it. Off threw you
• 17:00
  Speaker 17: into those situations many times. I was there at f An.
• 17:05
  Speaker 17: None of those other guys could do what you did.
• 17:08
  Speaker 17: I saw it. You were throwing it. We got problems.
• 17:11
  Speaker 17: I need you to go in for an hour.
• 17:13
  Speaker 4: It's about Imus. Yes, and he had he had a
• 17:15
  Speaker 4: bunch of people around him, Bernard and Rob Bartlett and
• 17:18
  Speaker 4: all these very talented and very funny people. But you're
• 17:21
  Speaker 4: making the point that time and time again, with the
• 17:23
  Speaker 4: choice of all those people, he kept coming back to.
• 17:26
  Speaker 17: Me, right and Mark, I'm talking about oh turn off? Yes,
• 17:29
  Speaker 17: because he had it. Would there would be some programming
• 17:32
  Speaker 17: issue where somebody was not there or we had to
• 17:35
  Speaker 17: fill until a press conference started. Anything like that. You
• 17:39
  Speaker 17: were able to do it on an.
• 17:40
  Speaker 4: Even Charles McCord used me a couple of times to
• 17:42
  Speaker 4: do that. Yes, of course, I keep going a great case.
• 17:46
  Speaker 4: Yere not the fact that I know and you have
• 17:51
  Speaker 4: said this on a serious note, you have said this,
• 17:55
  Speaker 4: and it humbles me. It really does, because I believe
• 17:57
  Speaker 4: you're the best ever at your position. You know what
• 17:59
  Speaker 4: I mean that, you know what I mean that I've
• 18:01
  Speaker 4: said a million times, But you have said all this
• 18:03
  Speaker 4: many many times.
• 18:04
  Speaker 17: I have many have and I believe it. Even if
• 18:08
  Speaker 17: I'm last on this ridiculous list, I still believe it
• 18:12
  Speaker 17: that you you deserve all that's coming to you and
• 18:16
  Speaker 17: all of this in the Hall of fame. And I'm
• 18:18
  Speaker 17: not surprised at all. So all those people, yes, they do.
• 18:22
  Speaker 17: They deserve to fine. But and Craig Carton definitely at
• 18:28
  Speaker 17: the beginning of a lot of your New York radio career.
• 18:33
  Speaker 17: I know it, and he's well deserving and well deserving
• 18:36
  Speaker 17: of being in himself. Of course, However, I don't know
• 18:39
  Speaker 17: if any of these people on this list at seven
• 18:44
  Speaker 17: forty five on a Friday night in the like twenty
• 18:47
  Speaker 17: years ago while they'd be sleeping, would hear in their
• 18:50
  Speaker 17: answering machine, why don't.
• 18:52
  Speaker 18: You what going on?
• 19:00
  Speaker 17: Five other guys call, We're going, I'm going. So if
• 19:15
  Speaker 17: any provide a tape.
• 19:18
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you don't need to provide tape for that. I'm
• 19:21
  Speaker 4: going to admit that I made that call often often.
• 19:26
  Speaker 4: And then we end up at some bar with Eddie
• 19:28
  Speaker 4: Kazeri or who knows who, and a lot of times
• 19:31
  Speaker 4: it was Blondeias and the great ed Coleman would be there,
• 19:34
  Speaker 4: and yes, I made that call many, many, many times.
• 19:38
  Speaker 4: I don't need tape to admit it.
• 19:39
  Speaker 17: So or they were if they were pulled out of
• 19:42
  Speaker 17: the cab when we were leaving on the other side, look, loke, looke,
• 19:45
  Speaker 17: come here second, can you step out there? I would
• 19:47
  Speaker 17: step out of the other side of the cab, and
• 19:49
  Speaker 17: the bartender we know was holding the.
• 19:52
  Speaker 4: Tab four hundred dollars cab, I just how.
• 19:55
  Speaker 17: Much you got? What do you got? And okay, I
• 19:58
  Speaker 17: got this, I got this. Okay, I got one hundred
• 20:00
  Speaker 17: and eighty. You go and then wake up the next
• 20:04
  Speaker 17: morning at two o'clock in the afternoon like, I wonder
• 20:06
  Speaker 17: what I did last night? Nothing in my role, So
• 20:10
  Speaker 17: I wonder if Craig encountered any of those nights.
• 20:14
  Speaker 4: He did once, because one time Craig and I covered
• 20:17
  Speaker 4: a super Bowl together. It was when we worked together
• 20:20
  Speaker 4: at one or two point seven WWE WFM in the
• 20:23
  Speaker 4: year two thousand, when he replaced Scott Kaplan and we
• 20:27
  Speaker 4: covered the Giants and the Ravens' Super Bowl in Tampa, Florida. Okay,
• 20:33
  Speaker 4: so he saw a couple of those nights, but maybe
• 20:36
  Speaker 4: one or two of those over a week span. You
• 20:40
  Speaker 4: want many, many, many of those nights over a couple
• 20:43
  Speaker 4: of years. So it looks like very funny, Lou. It
• 20:49
  Speaker 4: looks like Lou has made a very good case here
• 20:52
  Speaker 4: Nome for him to be the guy.
• 20:54
  Speaker 20: Now, this has may become really uncomfortable for you because
• 20:58
  Speaker 20: what if you decide that Lou is not.
• 20:59
  Speaker 18: The person you're gonna USEA.
• 21:02
  Speaker 4: And he will say it's you know, I love you,
• 21:04
  Speaker 4: I love you, not a big deal. He will resent
• 21:06
  Speaker 4: me until the day I die, he dies, both of
• 21:09
  Speaker 4: us die, There's no question about it.
• 21:11
  Speaker 20: I just feel like, even the day after uh and
• 21:14
  Speaker 20: he is not the person you use, you have to
• 21:16
  Speaker 20: stare at him for four hours.
• 21:19
  Speaker 4: Righting the car together, right right, taking the car together
• 21:21
  Speaker 4: at four o'clock in the morning. I mean, I see
• 21:24
  Speaker 4: John Kax Mattini's a couple of times a week. He's
• 21:26
  Speaker 4: in the studio every Monday. I see Chad a couple
• 21:29
  Speaker 4: of times a week. This little mother efforts in the
• 21:32
  Speaker 4: car with me at four o'clock in the morning.
• 21:34
  Speaker 17: Right, And and I deal with that on a daily basis.
• 21:39
  Speaker 17: We haven't even touched on a lot of the other
• 21:41
  Speaker 17: areas of where I've been in your life are just
• 21:44
  Speaker 17: phone stuck in my face, noises in my ear, my
• 21:47
  Speaker 17: earphones pulled out, my arm, hit two, three, two or
• 21:52
  Speaker 17: three times on the right end, yelling, coming up behind me,
• 21:56
  Speaker 17: sticking your finger in my ear. I'm running the board,
• 21:59
  Speaker 17: trying to make the shows. I'm good, yell, I gotta
• 22:01
  Speaker 17: show you this. Did you see this? Hitting me, making noise,
• 22:04
  Speaker 17: yelling all of it okay? And I'm still walking down
• 22:08
  Speaker 17: the street with you, and you're yelling at other people.
• 22:10
  Speaker 4: Well, the halfless people tend to aggravate me. I don't
• 22:13
  Speaker 4: know why. Sometimes they say nothing, but sometimes they yell,
• 22:16
  Speaker 4: and then I have to yell back.
• 22:17
  Speaker 17: I got it. I believe me. I have seen I
• 22:20
  Speaker 17: have evidence of that too, and especially as no one
• 22:23
  Speaker 17: points out the next day after this is over, I'm
• 22:26
  Speaker 17: going to have to hear if it's not me, but
• 22:28
  Speaker 17: you could you have done a better speech than Creig
• 22:31
  Speaker 17: Card did last night.
• 22:32
  Speaker 4: That was like a to ze.
• 22:34
  Speaker 17: He got everything in.
• 22:35
  Speaker 4: Well, he didn't forget. I haven't picked Craig just yet either.
• 22:39
  Speaker 4: Again that John Kats Matit's and Chad Lopez. And there's
• 22:43
  Speaker 4: a bunch of people out there, so it's not like
• 22:45
  Speaker 4: it's either you or Craig. There's a list of about ten,
• 22:48
  Speaker 4: maybe fifteen, maybe twenty, maybe twenty five maybe Dear, I
• 22:52
  Speaker 4: miss maybe Wyatt, I miss hold No, sell them a
• 22:58
  Speaker 4: little bit there, you sell them a little bit there?
• 23:01
  Speaker 17: Hold on, you did not just say that he did?
• 23:04
  Speaker 4: I heard it. You could actually provide tape with that one.
• 23:08
  Speaker 18: I think Lou would not show up to work the
• 23:10
  Speaker 18: next day.
• 23:11
  Speaker 4: I think Lou would retire with that in the heels
• 23:15
  Speaker 4: of New York with them Jay if any I miss
• 23:18
  Speaker 4: Wyatt bead stage that morning.
• 23:22
  Speaker 17: Yeah, it get some horses insane.
• 23:29
  Speaker 4: Look, I'm gonna say this in all honesty. You have
• 23:32
  Speaker 4: just made a spectacular case. And I know about this
• 23:36
  Speaker 4: already obviously, but you just made a tremendous case to
• 23:39
  Speaker 4: be the guy. So with that said, I'm going to
• 23:43
  Speaker 4: consider you.
• 23:45
  Speaker 17: Wow, wait, just I just want to have that on
• 23:50
  Speaker 17: tape again. Clearly you're going to.
• 23:52
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you're being considered. I'm not making a decision today.
• 23:55
  Speaker 4: This thing is in October. I can't make that decision yet.
• 23:58
  Speaker 17: Well, now I need to recording all of our conversations.
• 24:02
  Speaker 17: Apparently I have to keep my phone going the entire
• 24:05
  Speaker 17: time because you're told it to me last week.
• 24:08
  Speaker 4: I don't remember you.
• 24:09
  Speaker 17: You just kind of you gave me the look and
• 24:12
  Speaker 17: you said, so this is gonna be announced tomorrow. I'm
• 24:15
  Speaker 17: gonna get in tomorrow, and I want you to go.
• 24:18
  Speaker 4: It doesn't sound like me.
• 24:19
  Speaker 8: I have to be honest.
• 24:23
  Speaker 17: To go under your breath talking in a like breathy
• 24:26
  Speaker 17: way that no one else can hear.
• 24:28
  Speaker 4: Maybe it was, I don't know. We will, we will
• 24:31
  Speaker 4: continue to discuss this.
• 24:33
  Speaker 18: I think. I mean, I can help you with the process.
• 24:35
  Speaker 20: So, like, let's say it's lou versus Craig Carton, who
• 24:38
  Speaker 20: do you choose.
• 24:40
  Speaker 4: Lou versus Craig Carton. I can't make that choice right now.
• 24:44
  Speaker 4: It'll be like asking Donald Trump, are you picking Bruce
• 24:47
  Speaker 4: Blateman or at least a Pottick. Are you picking Marco
• 24:50
  Speaker 4: Rubio or JD. Vane?
• 24:52
  Speaker 18: So right now, which.
• 24:53
  Speaker 4: Kid do you like better? Eva or Gabriel?
• 24:55
  Speaker 18: Craig is even with Lou right now?
• 24:57
  Speaker 4: I didn't say that. I just said, haven't made a
• 24:59
  Speaker 4: decision yet as to either one of them. Craig maybe
• 25:02
  Speaker 4: even Craig may be below him. I got news for you,
• 25:05
  Speaker 4: and I hate saying this. Craig may be above him.
• 25:08
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 25:09
  Speaker 17: Why would you hate saying that.
• 25:10
  Speaker 4: Well, because I want to upset you if it's okay?
• 25:14
  Speaker 17: Noome's asking a question, Like you said, if I can
• 25:16
  Speaker 17: be above him, then the pot.
• 25:18
  Speaker 4: Ask you rush? No, why aren't you actually making a
• 25:21
  Speaker 4: case for yourself?
• 25:22
  Speaker 18: Because I think lose the obvious choice.
• 25:24
  Speaker 4: Who's the obvious choice out of everybody?
• 25:26
  Speaker 7: Yeah?
• 25:26
  Speaker 4: Over John Katzimatids, over Chad Lopez.
• 25:29
  Speaker 18: Yeah, the history goes so far back.
• 25:31
  Speaker 4: Let me ask you this. This is a crazy one.
• 25:34
  Speaker 4: And I think he's mad at me anyway, I really do,
• 25:36
  Speaker 4: and I know I get paranoid like this. I've actually
• 25:39
  Speaker 4: texted his kids, his advisors and the past, just to
• 25:42
  Speaker 4: make sure it wasn't the case. Let's say I'm wrong.
• 25:45
  Speaker 4: And let's say President Trump is not mad at me. Okay,
• 25:48
  Speaker 4: he shouldn't be. I still love him. I still think
• 25:50
  Speaker 4: he's the greatest. I just got to scratch my head
• 25:52
  Speaker 4: almost every day now, almost every day. And we'll get
• 25:55
  Speaker 4: the turkey and you're on in a couple of minutes.
• 25:57
  Speaker 4: What if, by some miracle, my god, here we go.
• 26:01
  Speaker 4: President Trump wants to take a bug, maybe do a
• 26:05
  Speaker 4: video from the White House or Marrow Lago. This is
• 26:08
  Speaker 4: not crazy, it's not out of the question.
• 26:13
  Speaker 18: So he does the induction.
• 26:14
  Speaker 4: Well if he does a video for marro A Lago says,
• 26:17
  Speaker 4: I known Sid for thirty years. I know when he
• 26:19
  Speaker 4: had problems, right, Sid? You remember, you know, all those
• 26:22
  Speaker 4: days with Lewis. I remember those days, all those phone calls.
• 26:25
  Speaker 4: I got it.
• 26:29
  Speaker 20: Right, all those times he protected you from the weirdos
• 26:32
  Speaker 20: outside the radio station, all.
• 26:33
  Speaker 17: Those times I walked in with you at the morning.
• 26:36
  Speaker 17: And who knows.
• 26:37
  Speaker 18: Who's standing there cardboard, Yeah.
• 26:41
  Speaker 17: Come this way, I'm your buddy.
• 26:44
  Speaker 4: Right, Corey's on the checks and he says, it's gotta
• 26:46
  Speaker 4: be lou Are you ready for this one? Pete Morgan, Oh,
• 26:51
  Speaker 4: that's another one.
• 26:51
  Speaker 17: He should be on the list.
• 26:52
  Speaker 18: That is a solary's on the list. Yeah, of course
• 26:55
  Speaker 18: that is a very sound on the list.
• 26:57
  Speaker 4: Pete Morgan, that guy's been with me from day one.
• 27:00
  Speaker 4: Spend ten thousand dollars doing boiler ads in a state
• 27:05
  Speaker 4: that hasn't had a boiler it's nineteen thirty three. I
• 27:09
  Speaker 4: swear to god. He did the giant report down in Miami.
• 27:11
  Speaker 4: No one's owned a boiler in Miami since nineteen thirty three,
• 27:15
  Speaker 4: and you spent ten grand.
• 27:17
  Speaker 17: No, he should be highly considered.
• 27:19
  Speaker 4: He's high on the list. Pete Morgan.
• 27:20
  Speaker 17: He has been loyal and with verever He's a great,
• 27:23
  Speaker 17: great choice.
• 27:24
  Speaker 18: I don't know, so what if it's Pete Morgan versus lou.
• 27:29
  Speaker 4: This is gonna be very difficult.
• 27:30
  Speaker 18: Pete versus What if Pete cause you now and says,
• 27:33
  Speaker 18: you know what I really.
• 27:34
  Speaker 4: You know what I would do at that point, I
• 27:35
  Speaker 4: just eliminate both of them because then it becomes too personal.
• 27:40
  Speaker 4: So I'd almost rather neither one of them do it
• 27:43
  Speaker 4: so they can't be mad at me.
• 27:44
  Speaker 17: Oh that's great. Yeah, let's uh, let's take a Mantle
• 27:47
  Speaker 17: and Maris out of the lineup because they're both too
• 27:50
  Speaker 17: good to be and we'll just have Elston Howard and
• 27:56
  Speaker 17: hopefully we'll win this series. What a great, What a great?
• 28:01
  Speaker 4: Lisa g says, it's gotta be a beautiful Wifeelle. She
• 28:04
  Speaker 4: stood by you the whole time. I'm not even sure
• 28:06
  Speaker 4: Danielle is coming.
• 28:09
  Speaker 20: I think then, I think she's hoping they changed their mind,
• 28:14
  Speaker 20: and don't.
• 28:14
  Speaker 4: You all right listen, what we'll do is we'll put
• 28:22
  Speaker 4: a poll up. Well, you know what, maybe we have
• 28:24
  Speaker 4: an email for this show. We could have people email
• 28:26
  Speaker 4: the show with their I'm sure we do their suggestion,
• 28:29
  Speaker 4: their recommendation, their opinion on who my presenter should be.
• 28:34
  Speaker 4: Is there an email adjust for this show. We'll get
• 28:38
  Speaker 4: it here at some point this morning. We'll let the
• 28:39
  Speaker 4: audience get involved. How about that? Well, you know, like
• 28:41
  Speaker 4: they do on that game show when you don't know
• 28:43
  Speaker 4: the answer.
• 28:44
  Speaker 17: And you pick yeah, you get a lifeline.
• 28:46
  Speaker 4: You get a lifeline. Yet, so we'll give the audience
• 28:50
  Speaker 4: was our huge, beautiful, loyal audience a chance to because
• 28:54
  Speaker 4: they're gonna celebrate with me. The reason why I'm going
• 28:56
  Speaker 4: to the Hall of Fame is because of them. I'm
• 28:58
  Speaker 4: the first to admit that, well I'm i mean second
• 29:00
  Speaker 4: to my talent. But let's get let's give them a
• 29:04
  Speaker 4: chance to get involved in this decision, don't you think? Sure?
• 29:08
  Speaker 4: All right, so we will come back to this for now.
• 29:10
  Speaker 4: We got to get to the news of the day,
• 29:13
  Speaker 4: and that is Turkey. So if you listen to the open,
• 29:15
  Speaker 4: very very carefully, I kept playing nice job by Justin Ellick, Trump,
• 29:21
  Speaker 4: Bibi Trump BB. So let's start with Iron. I played
• 29:25
  Speaker 4: some audio for my appearance. I'm gonna do it again
• 29:28
  Speaker 4: right now because it was so good. When I was
• 29:30
  Speaker 4: on Fox News it was exactly seventeen days ago with
• 29:35
  Speaker 4: the Rachel Campos, Griff Jenkins, and Charlie Hurt on a
• 29:39
  Speaker 4: Sunday morning. They expected me to show up and say
• 29:42
  Speaker 4: We've won. Trump's done a great job. I didn't do it,
• 29:46
  Speaker 4: and I found myself going back and forth with Rachel,
• 29:50
  Speaker 4: Charlie and Griff. It was great television. But I told
• 29:53
  Speaker 4: them flat out. I told them flat out, this thing
• 29:57
  Speaker 4: is not over, and Iron will make sure it's over.
• 30:01
  Speaker 4: This Lewis is cut number one.
• 30:03
  Speaker 5: What is the cost of that is much higher prices
• 30:07
  Speaker 5: in gas, maybe even we run out of gas seeing
• 30:09
  Speaker 5: it or boots on the ground. Is that a reasonable
• 30:14
  Speaker 5: Is that a reasonable price to pay in order to
• 30:17
  Speaker 5: take out the regime for America, not for Israel.
• 30:19
  Speaker 18: But are you're an American.
• 30:20
  Speaker 6: I'm an American and I'm a Maga Trump guy. I
• 30:22
  Speaker 6: love Jump. If you're watching, I love you. We need
• 30:26
  Speaker 6: to win in November. That's the bottom line. And to
• 30:27
  Speaker 6: your point, Rachel, no, this is as asters at this point.
• 30:30
  Speaker 6: But these relies don't care. And the truth is, for America.
• 30:33
  Speaker 6: If we're gonna win this, there's only one way to win,
• 30:36
  Speaker 6: you know, I keep hearing well, diplomacy.
• 30:38
  Speaker 4: Let's have an honest conversation. That's not gonna happen.
• 30:41
  Speaker 6: I'm guaranteeing this audience right now. Iran will ain never
• 30:44
  Speaker 6: agree to a deal, and if they do, they will
• 30:46
  Speaker 6: never comply.
• 30:47
  Speaker 4: Pretty easy, right, I mean, that's U don't need to
• 30:50
  Speaker 4: explain that one. They'll never agree to a deal, They'll
• 30:53
  Speaker 4: never comply. I've been saying that. No, I'm lating for how.
• 30:56
  Speaker 18: Long since this thing all started, you know, the months ago,
• 31:00
  Speaker 18: months ago.
• 31:00
  Speaker 4: I wanted Trump to bomb the shizzle out of them,
• 31:02
  Speaker 4: months and months ago, on that Tuesday night when he
• 31:05
  Speaker 4: elected not to So Trump he has finally come to
• 31:08
  Speaker 4: the realization. Look, the president is no dummy. He's a very,
• 31:12
  Speaker 4: very bright man. He's brilliant, Okay, and I know he's
• 31:16
  Speaker 4: going to continue to talk about Steve Whitcomb. That's a
• 31:18
  Speaker 4: waste of time. Jared Kushner, that's a waste of time. JD. Bans,
• 31:24
  Speaker 4: that's a waste of time. I've been saying that for
• 31:27
  Speaker 4: months to these meetings, whether they're in Doha or all
• 31:30
  Speaker 4: my whoever the hell, they're a complete waste of time.
• 31:34
  Speaker 4: So Trump, it looks like, and who knows, looks like
• 31:37
  Speaker 4: he finally came to that realization yesterday or this morning
• 31:42
  Speaker 4: in Turkey when he said, as far as he's concerned,
• 31:46
  Speaker 4: the Iran deal is over, it's over. Good for you,
• 31:50
  Speaker 4: President Trump. Cut number three, Lewis cut number three.
• 31:54
  Speaker 8: To me, I think it's over. I don't want to
• 31:58
  Speaker 8: deal with him in with this scum. Know what scum is.
• 32:01
  Speaker 8: There's scum, there's sick people.
• 32:03
  Speaker 9: They're lit by sick people, and they're vicious, violent people,
• 32:08
  Speaker 9: and if they had a nuclear weapon.
• 32:10
  Speaker 8: They'd use it.
• 32:11
  Speaker 9: As far as I'm concerned, it's over. I'll speak to
• 32:13
  Speaker 9: our negotiators. They want to negotiate. They're good people, Steve
• 32:17
  Speaker 9: wood Cuff, Jared Kusher, but they have to come back
• 32:20
  Speaker 9: to me. As far as I'm concerned, it's just a
• 32:23
  Speaker 9: waste of time.
• 32:23
  Speaker 8: Dealing with them. They're liars.
• 32:25
  Speaker 9: We make a deal, and if I make a deal
• 32:28
  Speaker 9: with him, we have a deal, and he goes out,
• 32:30
  Speaker 9: he talks, We make a deal, everyone's agreed, no nuclear weapon.
• 32:34
  Speaker 9: We make a deal. They go outside, talk to the press.
• 32:36
  Speaker 9: They say, we never even talked about it. There's something
• 32:39
  Speaker 9: wrong with them. They're cuckoo. So far as I'm concerned,
• 32:43
  Speaker 9: it's over.
• 32:46
  Speaker 10: Talks, well resume after we get through the n see things.
• 32:50
  Speaker 10: What does this mean that talks of the rod will
• 32:53
  Speaker 10: not resume.
• 32:53
  Speaker 8: I don't care.
• 32:54
  Speaker 9: They can talk, but I think they're wasting their time.
• 32:56
  Speaker 9: There are a bunch of lion guys. I do my
• 32:59
  Speaker 9: whole life, that's all I do. His deals, my whole
• 33:01
  Speaker 9: life is. That's how it became president. I guess that's
• 33:03
  Speaker 9: a deal too, right. But I made a lot of money.
• 33:06
  Speaker 9: I had a lot of great success, now tremendous success.
• 33:09
  Speaker 21: Everything I did I was successful. And I deal with
• 33:12
  Speaker 21: these guys and I said, this is from a different school.
• 33:15
  Speaker 21: They are liars, they're cheats, they're sick people. They've hurt
• 33:20
  Speaker 21: their people.
• 33:21
  Speaker 9: They killed fifty four thousand people as of now that
• 33:24
  Speaker 9: we're protesting. You know, when people say, how come they
• 33:27
  Speaker 9: have been taken over? They can't take over because they're dead.
• 33:31
  Speaker 8: They killed them. Nobody's going to take over. They have
• 33:33
  Speaker 8: no guns and the other side has machine guns and
• 33:36
  Speaker 8: they're killing them. The press doesn't reported, but.
• 33:39
  Speaker 4: They're bound over this. How many times, also over the
• 33:41
  Speaker 4: past couple of months have I said that, No people
• 33:43
  Speaker 4: come on and said, well, the good news is now
• 33:46
  Speaker 4: we've left it up to the Armanian people. I said,
• 33:48
  Speaker 4: wait a second, they've killed like forty thousand of them.
• 33:50
  Speaker 4: They don't have guns, or we're going to arm those people. Lewis,
• 33:53
  Speaker 4: how many times have I said that over the last
• 33:55
  Speaker 4: couple of months?
• 33:56
  Speaker 17: My god, are you kidding?
• 33:57
  Speaker 4: I mean, I'm not the smartest guy in the room.
• 33:59
  Speaker 4: I'm sorry, but I get everything right. I get everything right.
• 34:03
  Speaker 4: I'm not talking about oil prices, which, by the way,
• 34:06
  Speaker 4: I back up, seventy eight dollars a barrel gas once again,
• 34:09
  Speaker 4: three dollars and eighty cents on average. I'm not talking
• 34:12
  Speaker 4: about that stuff, or the Dow Jones, which really matters
• 34:15
  Speaker 4: to a couple of very rich people in New York
• 34:17
  Speaker 4: City that's about it. Everything I say has been right,
• 34:21
  Speaker 4: Everything I say has been right? Is that not true? Though? Yeah?
• 34:25
  Speaker 20: I mean, look, I think there's lots of questions that
• 34:27
  Speaker 20: need to be answered and some that we should ask now,
• 34:29
  Speaker 20: like should you really have a real estate mogul being
• 34:32
  Speaker 20: the person who's negotiating if.
• 34:34
  Speaker 4: He's not well, We've I've also said that since day one,
• 34:38
  Speaker 4: at the risk of upsetting President Trump and his good
• 34:40
  Speaker 4: buddy Bodedle, Steve Whitkoff is in way over his head.
• 34:44
  Speaker 4: And I like his kid, Alex. He's a great kid.
• 34:46
  Speaker 4: He's on the Holocaust Council with me, and I like Alex,
• 34:49
  Speaker 4: and I don't know Steve, So I have anothering bad
• 34:52
  Speaker 4: to say about him personally. But he has no right
• 34:54
  Speaker 4: being in those meetings. No right, Kushner, look nepotism, son
• 34:59
  Speaker 4: in law. But the guy did help bring about the
• 35:01
  Speaker 4: Abraham Accords. So Jared has had success with some of
• 35:05
  Speaker 4: these types of negotiations. But Steve Whitcoff has no right
• 35:10
  Speaker 4: being in these meetings none. I'm not the only person
• 35:13
  Speaker 4: to say that. I'll get Peter King credit too. He
• 35:15
  Speaker 4: says it almost every time he's on So come on,
• 35:18
  Speaker 4: or what are you with this nonsense, and now you
• 35:20
  Speaker 4: get Turkey Erdawan. Listen to me, can't billy. Okay, I'm
• 35:23
  Speaker 4: right again, he's not a good guy. The second I'm
• 35:26
  Speaker 4: Donnie's not a good guy, despite President Trump time and
• 35:30
  Speaker 4: time again telling you how what a good guy he is.
• 35:33
  Speaker 4: And I know he's playing five D chess and he's
• 35:36
  Speaker 4: got a greater plan. He's got it all figured out,
• 35:38
  Speaker 4: and I hope he does. Look, i am not gonna
• 35:41
  Speaker 4: crap on President Trump. I've got people saying, sid we
• 35:44
  Speaker 4: hear you talk about all these policies you don't like
• 35:46
  Speaker 4: and all these issues. Why don't you just tell the truth.
• 35:49
  Speaker 4: You're done with Trump. I'm not done with Trump. Don't
• 35:52
  Speaker 4: put words in my mouth. It's not true. I still
• 35:55
  Speaker 4: love President Trump. I am still happy he's the president.
• 35:58
  Speaker 4: I can't think of anybody else, anybody else i'd rather
• 36:02
  Speaker 4: have sitting in that chair. But yes, the last six
• 36:06
  Speaker 4: weeks or so, I am very confused, very confused. I
• 36:10
  Speaker 4: don't care if I'm invited back to the White House
• 36:13
  Speaker 4: or not. I really don't. If he calls me back
• 36:15
  Speaker 4: on stage, if he sees me in the audience and smiles,
• 36:19
  Speaker 4: I've done all that already, been there, done it. I
• 36:21
  Speaker 4: don't need to suck President Trump's ass. I'm done with it.
• 36:26
  Speaker 4: I'm done with it. He's been around for ten or eleven years,
• 36:29
  Speaker 4: back and forth, back and forth. I don't stay true
• 36:32
  Speaker 4: to Trump because, oh my god, I'll be upset if
• 36:35
  Speaker 4: he doesn't like me anymore. I don't care anymore. I don't.
• 36:39
  Speaker 4: I just love him, and I still think he's a
• 36:41
  Speaker 4: terrific president. But I'm just confused. Turkey is not a
• 36:46
  Speaker 4: friend of ours. Urdawan is not a good man. In fact,
• 36:50
  Speaker 4: he's a bad man. How do you sit there and
• 36:53
  Speaker 4: tell this American audience two seconds in, no more sanctions?
• 36:58
  Speaker 4: What do you mean? No more? Say this guy lives
• 37:02
  Speaker 4: in a country where, much like Iran and Yemen and
• 37:04
  Speaker 4: other countries, they chant death to America, debt to Israel.
• 37:08
  Speaker 4: They're not our friends. Here was Trump yesterday. It took
• 37:12
  Speaker 4: them literally two seconds, two seconds to say I'm lifting
• 37:17
  Speaker 4: all the sanctions on Turkey, cutting number four.
• 37:23
  Speaker 8: I can tell you we're going to be taking the
• 37:24
  Speaker 8: sanctions off, Okay.
• 37:28
  Speaker 9: I don't want him to waste his time answering that question,
• 37:30
  Speaker 9: because we're working very closely with Marco Rubio, very famous man,
• 37:37
  Speaker 9: great Secretary of State, and with Scott Bessetts and with
• 37:40
  Speaker 9: Pete and everybody else, we're going to be taking to
• 37:43
  Speaker 9: sanctions off.
• 37:43
  Speaker 8: It's time to do that. Okay, we don't want to
• 37:50
  Speaker 8: sanction friends, but.
• 37:51
  Speaker 4: He's not our friend, President Trump. So like I did
• 37:54
  Speaker 4: in the open, I'm gonna do it again. President Trump
• 37:57
  Speaker 4: says one thing, and I am America. I'm sick of
• 38:00
  Speaker 4: that one too. How many social media messages I get
• 38:04
  Speaker 4: every day, Die you Jew bastard. F you you Jew bastard.
• 38:08
  Speaker 4: Go back to Israel, your Israel first, not America first,
• 38:11
  Speaker 4: wrong retards. Wrong. America first doesn't mean America only. And
• 38:16
  Speaker 4: the only way the world will be healthy is if
• 38:19
  Speaker 4: America and Israel continue this amazing alliance, which has been
• 38:23
  Speaker 4: the case for the better part of eight decades. That's
• 38:26
  Speaker 4: the only way. Doesn't mean I like Israel more than America.
• 38:29
  Speaker 4: Last I checked, I've been to Israel five times in
• 38:32
  Speaker 4: three years. I live in Queens. But the guy making
• 38:34
  Speaker 4: more sense these days, then President Trump, happens to be
• 38:39
  Speaker 4: Bb Netanyahu. So while Trump is calling Ertawan a friend
• 38:42
  Speaker 4: and Turkey a friend, here's what Peb had to say
• 38:45
  Speaker 4: with Brian Kilmead yesterday on Box News about the same
• 38:49
  Speaker 4: exact Guy Lewis Cutt number six.
• 38:51
  Speaker 12: Turkey is a great country, but it's governed by a
• 38:54
  Speaker 12: man who calls openly for their annihilation of Israel. He
• 38:58
  Speaker 12: occupies half of SIP, a NATO country, He's threatening Greece
• 39:02
  Speaker 12: and other NATO country and he talks openly about conquering Jerusalem.
• 39:06
  Speaker 12: As a foreign minister. Is number two said that the
• 39:10
  Speaker 12: Jewish state hasn't a place among humanity.
• 39:13
  Speaker 7: Basically it has to be wiped out.
• 39:15
  Speaker 12: His interior minister, he said he looks forward to be
• 39:18
  Speaker 12: the government governor of Jerusalem. Well for a regime infected
• 39:23
  Speaker 12: by the Muslim Brotherhood, an extreme movement that hates America
• 39:27
  Speaker 12: and chance death to America.
• 39:28
  Speaker 7: From that side of the spectrum.
• 39:31
  Speaker 4: I mean it gets even worse. You're lifting sanctions, You're
• 39:35
  Speaker 4: complementing Ertawan like you do. Mom. Don you missed the president.
• 39:39
  Speaker 4: Now you're going to sell them f thirty fives. Does
• 39:44
  Speaker 4: he not know that? Well, of course he knows, because
• 39:47
  Speaker 4: he banned Turkey years ago. President Trump, not Obama, not Biden.
• 39:52
  Speaker 4: Trump banned them because they did arms deals with Russia.
• 39:56
  Speaker 4: With Russia, and now you're going to sell them thirty
• 40:00
  Speaker 4: pies when you know that they wake up every day
• 40:04
  Speaker 4: trying to figure out a way to destroy America's number one. Ally,
• 40:09
  Speaker 4: how does this make sense? Here's Trump yesterday on the
• 40:13
  Speaker 4: possibility of sending F thirty pives to Turkey. Lewis cut
• 40:16
  Speaker 4: number five.
• 40:18
  Speaker 18: You're still thirty fives to Turkey?
• 40:20
  Speaker 7: And what about the illustration.
• 40:22
  Speaker 9: Well, it's a decision we're going to make. We have
• 40:28
  Speaker 9: a very good relationship. I would think that many people.
• 40:31
  Speaker 9: I can tell you many people, including the people sitting
• 40:35
  Speaker 9: right here, thinks you know, why wouldn't we do that.
• 40:37
  Speaker 9: We have a better relationship with Turkey, and Turkey's been
• 40:41
  Speaker 9: in many ways much more loyal than other countries that
• 40:43
  Speaker 9: we think would be loyal.
• 40:45
  Speaker 8: So, yeah, it's something certainly we would consider.
• 40:48
  Speaker 9: It's a great plane, it's the best currently, the best
• 40:52
  Speaker 9: plane by far, and it's certainly something we will consider.
• 40:57
  Speaker 4: Yeah, so kill me. He brought up the possibility of
• 41:00
  Speaker 4: America selling Turkey F thirty five's to bb Natannao as well.
• 41:05
  Speaker 4: You could guess already what his answer was. We'll play
• 41:09
  Speaker 4: it again anyway. It's quick, it's only fifteen seconds. It's
• 41:13
  Speaker 4: right to the point. This is cut number seven.
• 41:16
  Speaker 12: I don't think they should be given F thirty five's
• 41:18
  Speaker 12: or the Engines for their for their fighter judge, because
• 41:21
  Speaker 12: that'll upset the power balance in the Middle East, which
• 41:25
  Speaker 12: is ultimately guaranteed by Israeli air superiority and also by
• 41:30
  Speaker 12: I think by America's posture in the Middle East.
• 41:32
  Speaker 4: So I run the risk of again getting killed all
• 41:35
  Speaker 4: day today, which I do every day. I love when
• 41:37
  Speaker 4: people complain they get killed on social media. You don't
• 41:39
  Speaker 4: even know. Now. Look, I'm not Ben Shapiro, I'm not
• 41:42
  Speaker 4: Laura Lumer, I'm not President Trump. Iran didn't hold a
• 41:46
  Speaker 4: rally at Comanee's funeral and put a red dot right
• 41:49
  Speaker 4: between my eyes. I'm not sort oft to like those
• 41:52
  Speaker 4: people are. But I get murdered, murdered every day by
• 41:56
  Speaker 4: people screaming on Israel first, and I run that risk
• 41:59
  Speaker 4: right now course, whether you want to hear it or not.
• 42:02
  Speaker 4: And you BB haters and anti Semites are not gonna
• 42:05
  Speaker 4: like it. The last couple of days, BB is making
• 42:08
  Speaker 4: more sense than President Trump argue with that.
• 42:11
  Speaker 20: Know no, I mean, I don't understand how the President
• 42:13
  Speaker 20: wants to take down Iran, but in Bolden Turkey, it
• 42:16
  Speaker 20: makes no sense to me.
• 42:18
  Speaker 4: How do you do that?
• 42:19
  Speaker 18: Yeah?
• 42:20
  Speaker 4: I mean, what am I missing? Yet? I know there's
• 42:22
  Speaker 4: always a three D four D. Now it's up to
• 42:24
  Speaker 4: five D. Now Trump is playing five D chess right right?
• 42:28
  Speaker 4: You know, I want to get the President on the show.
• 42:30
  Speaker 4: Maybe you can explain it to me. He doesn't need to,
• 42:32
  Speaker 4: you know, he's not obligated to explain it to sid
• 42:35
  Speaker 4: or the New York audience, but it would be nice.
• 42:38
  Speaker 4: But he's not answering my messages lately. Margot Martin, she's
• 42:42
  Speaker 4: not either, So I just I just want a little explanation.
• 42:46
  Speaker 4: I love you, I'm in with you, but none of
• 42:49
  Speaker 4: this makes any sense. Not Iran, not Turkey, not the
• 42:53
  Speaker 4: way you treat mom, Donnie, not a whole host of stuff.
• 42:57
  Speaker 4: All I want to hear is what's this amazing plan?
• 43:01
  Speaker 8: What is it?
• 43:02
  Speaker 4: I'm not saying it doesn't exist, and I haven't lost
• 43:05
  Speaker 4: faith in President Trump. I'm just questioning what the hell
• 43:09
  Speaker 4: is going on? And if you're not, then you're way
• 43:12
  Speaker 4: too much of a sec event. Seriously, you're dead from
• 43:15
  Speaker 4: the neck up. If you're not questioning all this stuff
• 43:19
  Speaker 4: going on, you're dead from the neck up. I really
• 43:22
  Speaker 4: believe that no, what are most of my mom But
• 43:24
  Speaker 4: what about this? I got a lot of guys coming on.
• 43:26
  Speaker 4: What about this building a couple of blocks away that
• 43:29
  Speaker 4: they've got all of these blocks roped off. In fact,
• 43:32
  Speaker 4: we got up the up the yard this morning, me
• 43:35
  Speaker 4: Jean and Lewis, and we couldn't even go down forty
• 43:38
  Speaker 4: second Street. What's going on with that building?
• 43:39
  Speaker 20: Well, they're still they're in the process of stabilizing it.
• 43:42
  Speaker 20: And the issue is, you know, it's this former building
• 43:45
  Speaker 20: where Pfizer had its world headquarters. They're now turning it
• 43:48
  Speaker 20: into condos. And there was one section of the building
• 43:51
  Speaker 20: that they were building onto like another essentially like a
• 43:54
  Speaker 20: half a story of floors, and it was there where
• 43:57
  Speaker 20: the steel beams started to bend yesterday this new construction.
• 44:01
  Speaker 20: So now the thought is, you know, first of all,
• 44:03
  Speaker 20: can they get people in there to really safely to
• 44:06
  Speaker 20: stabilize it, And then the thought is they're just going
• 44:08
  Speaker 20: to have to destroy it and rebuild it all over again,
• 44:10
  Speaker 20: at least that's all the experts are saying. But in
• 44:12
  Speaker 20: the meantime, the people in the immediate area, because you know,
• 44:16
  Speaker 20: buildings are so close to each other here in the city.
• 44:18
  Speaker 18: If one becomes destabilized.
• 44:20
  Speaker 20: They don't want to take the chances of it knocking,
• 44:22
  Speaker 20: falling whatever came into buildings nearby. So that's why they
• 44:26
  Speaker 20: took these people and told them they needed to evacuate
• 44:28
  Speaker 20: their homes. Now most of those people are back home
• 44:31
  Speaker 20: and not everybody. And so they had six or seven
• 44:35
  Speaker 20: building experts go into the building yesterday and they said, Okay,
• 44:38
  Speaker 20: we need to come up with a plan to stabilize
• 44:40
  Speaker 20: this so we can essentially, I guess, take it apart
• 44:43
  Speaker 20: and then rebuild it.
• 44:44
  Speaker 18: So that's going to be a process. So I think
• 44:45
  Speaker 18: you're going to see that area is going to be
• 44:47
  Speaker 18: closed off for a while.
• 44:48
  Speaker 4: Right, two more minutes. What else am I missing this morning?
• 44:51
  Speaker 11: Uh?
• 44:51
  Speaker 20: You know, you continue to have this Legionnaire's outbreak on
• 44:55
  Speaker 20: the Upper East Side, and you can imagine people are
• 44:57
  Speaker 20: freaked out out about it because they don't know the
• 44:59
  Speaker 20: source of it. Seventeen people already in the hospital. The
• 45:02
  Speaker 20: health department say nobody died. Yes, a right, nobody died.
• 45:05
  Speaker 20: But you had last summer in Harlem, you had more
• 45:07
  Speaker 20: than one hundred cases. Seven people died there, So I
• 45:09
  Speaker 20: mean it's happened. They think it's missed from these cooling
• 45:14
  Speaker 20: towers that's at the top of these buildings, and so.
• 45:16
  Speaker 4: With I do tell it definitely is my father got
• 45:18
  Speaker 4: rest of his soul, Harvey. He was a chemical engineer,
• 45:22
  Speaker 4: and I think I told you this before, but I
• 45:24
  Speaker 4: worked for my dad for a couple of years, and
• 45:26
  Speaker 4: he had some major department stores and major hospitals, Columbia
• 45:30
  Speaker 4: Presbyterian here in New York City, Saint Michael's in Jersey City,
• 45:35
  Speaker 4: and he spent a lot of his time as a
• 45:37
  Speaker 4: chemical engineer. His whole business was treating water in boiler
• 45:42
  Speaker 4: systems and in cooling towers. So many a day I
• 45:46
  Speaker 4: would walk up, I mean really high and I'm afraid
• 45:49
  Speaker 4: of heights, to these cooling towers and drop my father's
• 45:52
  Speaker 4: chemicals inside these cooling towers to make sure that the
• 45:56
  Speaker 4: water was in fact good so you wouldn't have stuff
• 45:59
  Speaker 4: like this. And my dad, at one point, I believe
• 46:03
  Speaker 4: he ended up with E Coli, not legionnaires, because he
• 46:07
  Speaker 4: was working inside one of these hospitals or buildings with
• 46:10
  Speaker 4: these cooling towers and he ended up getting sick. But
• 46:13
  Speaker 4: that was my dad's job and my job for a
• 46:15
  Speaker 4: couple of years, to actually treat the water how about that?
• 46:19
  Speaker 18: And that was it legionnaires that he got sick with.
• 46:21
  Speaker 4: No, we got eat COLI. I think he almost died
• 46:23
  Speaker 4: from that. But he may have got legionnaires too, I
• 46:26
  Speaker 4: don't know. But that was his job. He was a
• 46:28
  Speaker 4: water treatment chemical engineer. Well, I'm aware of all this.
• 46:32
  Speaker 18: Yeah, they could use them right now.
• 46:33
  Speaker 4: Now, they can use my dad right now. I know,
• 46:36
  Speaker 4: I know.
• 46:36
  Speaker 20: The city council speakure. Yesterday, Julie Menning got really upset.
• 46:40
  Speaker 20: She's with her doing as they're going one by one
• 46:42
  Speaker 20: to the cooling towers and testing them, and she says, no, no,
• 46:45
  Speaker 20: just go buy one by one and clean them all.
• 46:47
  Speaker 20: Why wait for the test results to come back. Why
• 46:50
  Speaker 20: don't you just clean them all?
• 46:51
  Speaker 18: She's right, good, Yeah, she's totally right.
• 46:53
  Speaker 4: Yeah, Wow, all right. Well Spartan Chemical Services in Jersey City.
• 46:59
  Speaker 7: What a name.
• 47:00
  Speaker 4: My dad's business and I worked doing around I don't
• 47:02
  Speaker 4: think so. No, he's just him and me and my
• 47:06
  Speaker 4: mom worked there for a while and it was a
• 47:08
  Speaker 4: family business. He did very well, like I said, major
• 47:10
  Speaker 4: department stores, major hospitals, and then like everything else, he's
• 47:14
  Speaker 4: you know, these big time companies started coming in and
• 47:18
  Speaker 4: wiping out smaller companies like my dad's. But that's what
• 47:21
  Speaker 4: he did, water treatment chemical engineer for his great career. Right,
• 47:26
  Speaker 4: we'll take a break minute terrific start fifty four minutes.
• 47:29
  Speaker 4: On that opening segment, We'll talk to Frank Murano. We'll
• 47:32

  Speaker 22: Sid and Friends in the morning on the Red Apple
• 47:50
  Speaker 22: podcast network.
• 47:52
  Speaker 4: So Anthony goes to the same Tanning Solon. He loves
• 47:55
  Speaker 4: the show listens every day and he just checked in
• 47:58
  Speaker 4: with a DM on Instagram at Rosenberg dot Sydney. That's
• 48:02
  Speaker 4: at Rosenberg dot Sydney, and he said he believes that
• 48:06
  Speaker 4: the presenter comes down to just two men. Lou did
• 48:10
  Speaker 4: not make the list. Shocking according to Anthony, it's either
• 48:14
  Speaker 4: John Katzimatidis or Chaed Lopez, and Barbarie says, because I
• 48:20
  Speaker 4: was here before John owned the station, and the guy
• 48:25
  Speaker 4: that brought me back when Cumulus still owned it was Chad.
• 48:30
  Speaker 4: He believes that Chared Lopez deserves to be the presenter,
• 48:33
  Speaker 4: and I can't argue that. So I don't know, though,
• 48:37
  Speaker 4: I just I don't know.
• 48:39
  Speaker 11: I don't know either.
• 48:39
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean he did bring me back. It wasn't
• 48:43
  Speaker 4: like you brought me back in you're a w o R.
• 48:46
  Speaker 19: No.
• 48:46
  Speaker 4: Yes, his sucking face with Scott Shannon somewhere on a
• 48:50
  Speaker 4: dinner on a Friday night, your buddy there.
• 48:51
  Speaker 17: He didn't bring you back when we were in god
• 48:54
  Speaker 17: knows what place is down in lower Man.
• 48:56
  Speaker 4: Wasn't his jock then, he was only a sales guy
• 48:59
  Speaker 4: at CBS.
• 49:00
  Speaker 17: Here's a bulletin. Wasn't my job either, And right in
• 49:07
  Speaker 17: the middle of one of those escapades, I realized that
• 49:10
  Speaker 17: and I went, wait a second, is this part of
• 49:12
  Speaker 17: my job that charn Off hired? We actually denied me there,
• 49:15
  Speaker 17: But no, it wasn't.
• 49:17
  Speaker 4: Part of my Oh you make a very good point.
• 49:19
  Speaker 17: Yes, I just wanted to put that out there.
• 49:21
  Speaker 4: So every time that somebody or me brings up somebody else,
• 49:26
  Speaker 4: you're gonna have a really snappy comeback like that to
• 49:31
  Speaker 4: make you the choice almost every time, aren't you.
• 49:33
  Speaker 17: Well, it's at this point I don't even know why
• 49:36
  Speaker 17: I would have to make any kind you.
• 49:38
  Speaker 4: Think it's even silly to debate this.
• 49:40
  Speaker 17: It's, first of all, it's silly to debate it from
• 49:43
  Speaker 17: what I said in the beginning. You actually without any
• 49:47
  Speaker 17: prompting for me, it came out of your head first.
• 49:51
  Speaker 17: And this is the part you're not going to acknowledge
• 49:55
  Speaker 17: that you don't think you murmured to me.
• 49:58
  Speaker 4: I didn't say. I don't remember. Honestly, I don't I know,
• 50:02
  Speaker 4: But I'm not saying I didn't say it. I'm not
• 50:04
  Speaker 4: calling you a liar, right, I just don't remember.
• 50:06
  Speaker 17: All right, Well, let's i'll bring in my I may.

• 50:19
  Speaker 17: That what that they're going to be the person I
• 50:21
  Speaker 17: may have.

  Speaker 16: in on the World Cup out in Atlanta.
• 51:47
  Speaker 4: Last night.
• 51:47
  Speaker 16: Argentina beat Egypt three to two. Line on Messi's great game.
• 51:52
  Speaker 4: That was a great score at the game time goal Messio,
• 51:54
  Speaker 4: it's watching it. It was at wester Bill, which is
• 51:56
  Speaker 4: a restaurant right by the Ferry winning for a one
• 51:58
  Speaker 4: pm thirty. It wasn't last night, it was yesterday and
• 52:03
  Speaker 4: there were down one. Nothing I saw. Messi got a
• 52:05
  Speaker 4: penalty kick and the Egyptian goalie made a great say
• 52:09
  Speaker 4: they didn't score. Unbelievable goalie. Yes, they say he's the
• 52:14
  Speaker 4: best goalie in the world, but they still got three
• 52:16
  Speaker 4: buy him to win the game. I think Messi is
• 52:18
  Speaker 4: now four for eight on penalty kicks. But my favorite
• 52:21
  Speaker 4: part of that game was at the end of the
• 52:23
  Speaker 4: game when they showed this Argentinian and Argentina people just
• 52:27
  Speaker 4: so you know, are very Prosia, very prosual. I love
• 52:30
  Speaker 4: that country. And there was a huge Israeli flag that
• 52:35
  Speaker 4: this fan had at the stadium and the Egyptian coach
• 52:39
  Speaker 4: walked over, I guess and spit on the fan or
• 52:42
  Speaker 4: the flag, and they had to walk the Egyptian coaches
• 52:46
  Speaker 4: off the field. So Argentina one that made me happy.
• 52:50
  Speaker 4: Messi scored a goal that made me happy, and the
• 52:53
  Speaker 4: pro Israel fan got the best of the Egyptian coach
• 52:57
  Speaker 4: and that made me happy.
• 52:59
  Speaker 16: So you're rooting Argentina the rest of the way. Then,
• 53:01
  Speaker 16: I don't know who else is left that I would
• 53:03
  Speaker 16: root for? No, right, exactly who plays? I hate Spain.
• 53:08
  Speaker 4: They're the biggest anti smits in the world, right, so
• 53:11
  Speaker 4: I'm actually twining for Belgium to beat them. Plus Bill
• 53:13
  Speaker 4: White is in Belgium, right, I guess. Yeah, I want
• 53:16
  Speaker 4: Messi to win. He's the best player in the world,
• 53:19
  Speaker 4: the greatest player in history unless you consider Pale. I
• 53:22
  Speaker 4: don't know. Yeah, I want to see Argentina wins.
• 53:25
  Speaker 17: They like the Jews, Spain hasn't exactly been a help
• 53:27
  Speaker 17: to us, right America.
• 53:29
  Speaker 4: They wouldn't even let us land off planes there right
• 53:32
  Speaker 4: during the Holy Iran conflict. So Spain has crapped on
• 53:35
  Speaker 4: America and Israel. So I got no use for them none.
• 53:39
  Speaker 16: Okay, So it sounds like Argentina that's my team, all right,
• 53:42
  Speaker 16: sounds good, one of my jersey, the whole thing. Yeah,
• 53:44
  Speaker 16: of course, I can't name one of the players besides Messi,
• 53:47
  Speaker 16: but I love that team. Enzel Fernandez, he had the
• 53:50
  Speaker 16: winner last night.
• 53:51
  Speaker 4: Who's pitched for the Marlins.
• 53:52
  Speaker 16: And yeah, yeah, the other game yesterday evening, I should say,
• 54:01
  Speaker 16: Switzerland beating Columbia in penalty shootouts. So Switzerland will meet Argentina.

• 54:54
  Speaker 4: our dear friend, Susanne Miller. She's a real estate mogul.
• 54:58
  Speaker 4: She's really smart. Talking about congratulations. My next guest became
• 55:02
  Speaker 4: a father for the second time. Just a couple of
• 55:06
  Speaker 4: days ago, Carmine's got a sister when him and his
• 55:09
  Speaker 4: lovely wife Rachel, welcomed collect Celia Morano into the world.
• 55:16
  Speaker 4: Former WABC megal overnight superstar, now one of our five
• 55:20
  Speaker 4: Republican City Council members and in my estimation, the best,
• 55:25
  Speaker 4: and now again a father for the second time. Mazoltov,
• 55:28
  Speaker 4: my friend Frank Morano, Frank, good morning, buddy, congratulations, Thank you.
• 55:32
  Speaker 19: So much, died and I appreciate the fact that you
• 55:35
  Speaker 19: were the very first person that I'm not related to
• 55:38
  Speaker 19: to reach out and congratulate Rachel and me, and.
• 55:42
  Speaker 23: We're we're just delighted.
• 55:44
  Speaker 19: The only thing Colette has going against her right now
• 55:46
  Speaker 19: is a lot of people say that she looks a
• 55:49
  Speaker 19: lot like me, which when you pickure pretty girls, I'm
• 55:52
  Speaker 19: not exactly the first image that comes to mind, so
• 55:55
  Speaker 19: hopefully she'll grow out of that. But other than that,
• 55:57
  Speaker 19: she's been delightful.
• 55:58
  Speaker 4: Now she's a beautiful little baby house Rachel feeling.
• 56:02
  Speaker 23: She's so a little.
• 56:03
  Speaker 19: Sore and very exhausted. You know, Colette must have heard
• 56:06
  Speaker 19: about my prior role doing overnights at WABC, and she's
• 56:09
  Speaker 19: trying to emulate that schedule, so she sleeps her.
• 56:13
  Speaker 23: Yeah, she's up all night, but.
• 56:16
  Speaker 19: You know, she's only been alive for two days, so
• 56:19
  Speaker 19: we got to cut her some slack.
• 56:20
  Speaker 4: And Carman he's excited. You know. Sometimes he's young. You're
• 56:23
  Speaker 4: lucky because when they're a little older and they're used
• 56:25
  Speaker 4: to getting all the attention, if they're five, six or seven.
• 56:29
  Speaker 4: I had this with Avan Gabriel. They're used to getting
• 56:31
  Speaker 4: all the attention. Sometimes, at least early on, it goes
• 56:34
  Speaker 4: away to become the best of friends, but early on
• 56:36
  Speaker 4: there is some resentment. But what is Carmine doing these days?
• 56:41
  Speaker 19: Well, first of all, is that the root of the
• 56:43
  Speaker 19: problem between the relationship with you and your Trump hating
• 56:46
  Speaker 19: sister is that where it all began.
• 56:48
  Speaker 4: I'm started there, but who knows. No, we were really
• 56:52
  Speaker 4: good at just ago a couple of years ago.
• 56:55
  Speaker 19: Yeah, but no, in all Seriss, Carmin's great. He's very excited.
• 56:58
  Speaker 19: He was feeding her yesterday, kept trying to campaign to
• 57:01
  Speaker 19: have her sleep in his room. No, he's excited to
• 57:05
  Speaker 19: be a big brother, and he's just he couldn't.
• 57:08
  Speaker 23: Be better with her.
• 57:09
  Speaker 19: He was helping feed her, helping change her even yesterday,
• 57:12
  Speaker 19: and even though he's only four and a half, he's
• 57:14
  Speaker 19: very excited and has a full understanding of what's going on,
• 57:18
  Speaker 19: and he's excited for our family. So it's great, all right.
• 57:21
  Speaker 4: Frank and Rachel Morano now have a car mine and
• 57:25
  Speaker 4: a collecte, so they're in good shape. They've got one
• 57:27
  Speaker 4: of each. So I know that last week when the
• 57:30
  Speaker 4: budget got passed, and we all know that, Mom, Donnie,
• 57:34
  Speaker 4: part of the reason why he got the budget passed
• 57:37
  Speaker 4: was the bailout help him, Kathy Hulkl But one of
• 57:40
  Speaker 4: the real discussions centered around the fact that about six
• 57:44
  Speaker 4: hundred cops was supposed to be added in this budget.
• 57:48
  Speaker 4: I had you on. You were great, always great, and
• 57:51
  Speaker 4: you seem very unhappy with the fat that the six
• 57:54
  Speaker 4: hundred cops were not added, as well as for Joyne
• 57:58
  Speaker 4: Ariola that fifth firefighter. So again with the opportunity to
• 58:04
  Speaker 4: aid the police and the FDN, why the mayor came
• 58:08
  Speaker 4: up short. But I think you told me, and I'm
• 58:10
  Speaker 4: putting words in your mouth, correct me, that your city
• 58:13
  Speaker 4: council speaker Julie Menin was even not all that happy
• 58:18
  Speaker 4: that the cops were taken out the very last second
• 58:21
  Speaker 4: by Mom, Donnie, correct me, tell me, I'm right. What's
• 58:24
  Speaker 4: the whole deal here.
• 58:25
  Speaker 19: Yeah, no, no, to put it mildly, the only thing
• 58:27
  Speaker 19: I would correct you is the level of unhappiness with
• 58:30
  Speaker 19: Julie the speaker, Julie Mennon in terms of those cops
• 58:34
  Speaker 19: being taken out.
• 58:34
  Speaker 23: So now let me be clear. So I voted no
• 58:36
  Speaker 23: on the budget.
• 58:37
  Speaker 19: I explained why, you know last week, and you know,
• 58:40
  Speaker 19: I certainly have a lot of criticisms of the things
• 58:42
  Speaker 19: that the council.
• 58:43
  Speaker 23: Does, but on the comp issue.
• 58:45
  Speaker 19: And you had a terrific interview with Vincent vala Long,
• 58:48
  Speaker 19: who's a close friend, and the SBA was the very
• 58:51
  Speaker 19: first union to endorse me, and so I'm really in
• 58:54
  Speaker 19: their debt. But I didn't appreciate the fact that he
• 58:58
  Speaker 19: and a couple of other people were blaming the speaker
• 59:01
  Speaker 19: in the council one iota for what the mayor did.
• 59:05
  Speaker 19: So the blame overwhelmingly belongs to Zorn Mamdani. He is
• 59:11
  Speaker 19: the one who pulled the five hundred and eighty cops.
• 59:14
  Speaker 19: He's the one who sprung it on everyone after the
• 59:17
  Speaker 19: budget was effectively printed, and he's the one who caved
• 59:21
  Speaker 19: to the anti cop activist wing of his party. I've
• 59:25
  Speaker 19: got plenty of differences with Julie Menin and the city Council.
• 59:28
  Speaker 19: I vote differently from them on a bunch of things.
• 59:30
  Speaker 19: But this is the first time in the history of
• 59:33
  Speaker 19: the City of New York where the council has been
• 59:36
  Speaker 19: the adult in the room in the mayor council relationship.
• 59:39
  Speaker 19: It has never happened before. It was the council that
• 59:43
  Speaker 19: stopped the property tax, like it was the council that
• 59:46
  Speaker 19: stopped the mayor from reigning the Raidy Day Fund. It
• 59:49
  Speaker 19: was the council that stopped him from raising taxes on
• 59:52
  Speaker 19: high income earners. So on the issue of cops, Mamdani
• 59:56
  Speaker 19: is the villain, not Julie Mennin. The speaker in the
• 59:58
  Speaker 19: council had been publicly pressing for more cops for months.
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 19: Mom Donnie made the decision to yank those five hundred
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 19: and eighty officers at the eleventh hour after the budget
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 19: was printed. People can disagree with the speaker and a
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 19: lot of things. I certainly do, but it is totally
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 19: unfair to say she caused the police cut. So just
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 19: so people understand the history. Back in March, the speaker
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 19: and this is all documented. I've sent you the audio
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 19: and people can look it up for themselves if they
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 19: want to.
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 23: Do the work.
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 19: Back in March, the Speaker was already pressing the NYPD
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 19: and the administration on headcount. She specifically pointed out that
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 19: the mayor had removed funding that Adams put in that
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 19: would have added five thousand new officers. Then now there
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 19: was not a talk from March when she pressed Commissioner
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 19: tish on that to June about adding any new cops.
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 19: Forget about five eighty. They were ready to add zero.
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 19: They said they were doing an adequate job with staffing
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 19: and that the crime numbers were down. And then she
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 19: pointed out, well, and I did, and others did, Joan
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 19: Ariola did, and others that look rapes her up. Hate
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 19: crimes are surging through the roof, trans climbs are up.
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 19: My colleague in the Bronx Oswald Police, not considered a
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 19: conservative by any means, he pointed out that shootings in
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 19: the Bronx are up. Then in June, after all this
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 19: that when the administration floated this five hundred eighty cop increase,
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 19: the Speaker didn't say great problem solved. She pressed them
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 19: and said five hundred eighty wasn't enough. Her public position
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 19: was that the city needed far more cops, not fewer,
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 19: just to get us back to where we were on
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 19: nine to eleven. And when Mamdani pulled the five hundred
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 19: eighty cops, she publicly said she strongly disagreed. But this
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 19: was done essentially on July first. So the council added
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 19: roughly three hundred million dollars for the NYPD in this budget.
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 19: The five hundred eighty officers would have cost about seventy
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 19: million dollars. So we can stop pretending that there was
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 19: no money for it. The money was there. The council
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 19: funded the department. Mamdani chose not to use that funding
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 19: to replenish the ranks. So if you're angry about the
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 19: police cut, and I am, that's why I voted no,
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 19: be angry at the time.
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 4: But you know what's great is you should really be
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 4: the speaker. And this is not a shot at Julie Menin.
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 4: It's more of a compliment to you because you just
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 4: laid it out so perfectly, and I know what you're
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 4: saying is right, you know. I know I actually had
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 4: a conversation with Jessica Tish the morning off and I
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 4: spoke to you as well, so I know the real
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 4: deal and I know that Julie Menin is on our side.
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 4: I think some of the frustration is what Julie, who
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 4: again I've warmed up to and you are right about this,
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 4: she's on the right side, is that she did not
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 4: really say this publicly, and if she did not, a
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 4: lot of people heard it. So the only criticisms people
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 4: may have is instead of standing up there all smiley,
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 4: smiley with mom Donnie like Trump does with him and Erdowan,
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 4: how about not being so smiley and how about delivering
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 4: the same message you just did because the truth is,
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 4: and Julie Menin's defense, that's how she felt, you know.
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 19: I think she'd been pretty critical on the mayor on
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 19: everything from the anti Semitism issues to even yesterday when
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 19: his Department of Health said the best way with the
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 19: legionnaire's outbreak is to essentially wait until people.
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 4: Get this idiotic you've heard that you've.
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 19: Got to clean all these things. So, but I won't
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 19: disagree with you that she could be even more of
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 19: a siperist. But I think as far as being a
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 19: Democrat in New York City, I don't know that there's
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 19: a single Democrat that's intellective office now currently putting up
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 19: more of a fight against the mayor. And if you
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 19: look at what Mandani did, though, it's not just that
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 19: he caved to the anti cop left, which is bad enough,
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 19: and because the anti the activist left screamed and he folded.
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 19: And you see that with the tweets from my colleagues
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 19: like council member to Tiffany Caban, who's a member of
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 19: the DSA, but his own political base, the DSA and
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 19: the anti COP active is the same crowd that thinks
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 19: adding officers is a moral clime. They put him under
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 19: pressure and he cave. That's what this was. It wasn't
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 19: some new revelation about staffing needs. It was a political surrender.
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 19: But what bothers me even more is not just that
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 19: he did it, but it was the way that he
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 19: did it. It wasn't just the substance, but he waited
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 19: until the last minute, after the budget was essentially printed,
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 19: after members were operating under the assumption that these five
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 19: hundred and eighty cops were in there, and then he
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 19: acted it. So that's the opposite of good faith. It's
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 19: a bait and switch. So had we known about this?
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 19: According to Gothamness, they said that this was known I
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 19: think at least the Thursday or Friday before we voted
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 19: on the budget on Monday. Had we known about this
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 19: Thursday or Friday, it might have been something that we
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 19: could have negotiated for over the weekend.
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 23: But we didn't.
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 19: He didn't tell us about this until hours after all
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 19: this other stuff. Now, again, there's a lot of other
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 19: things in the budget that weren't great. You mentioned the
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 19: the fifth Man. There's a couple of other things. But
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 19: I could have found my way to voting for this
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 19: if it included those five hundred and eighty cops. So
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 19: the mayor is totally the villain. He's forgetting about whether
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 19: this was right or wrong, and might view it's clearly wrong.
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 19: He was such so dishonest about it, and he caved.
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 19: He caved to this crowd of ultra left wing activists.
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 19: So for all these folks that host cop podcasts or
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 19: live on social media and think, including friends of mine,
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 19: by the way, and think that, ohkay, this is their
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 19: opportunity to score some points, that's where the focus of
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 19: all of us needs to be. Now, the council is
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 19: going to work to find more funding to hire these
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 19: new cops. But the only reason they're not there now
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 19: is because of the mayor.
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 4: So what do you guys do? This is the great
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 4: Frank Morano father again, his daughter Collett born just a
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 4: couple of days ago. He's got Carmine and collect. What
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 4: do you do if the mayor is going to continue
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 4: to push back, which he will, because he hates cops,
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 4: and like you just said, the people around him hate cops,
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 4: including Tiffany Caban who actually ran on being physical with
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 4: cops in the street. She ran on that jet pamphlets
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 4: about that. How do you guys get the money? How
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 4: do you guys make this happen with zero cooperation from
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 4: the mayor?
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 19: Yeah, it's a good question. First, we keep forcing the
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 19: issue in public, which is why I really appreciate the
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 19: opportunity to come on. Then we make the mayor own
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 19: the consequences of keeping the NYPD understaff. Every hearing, every
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 19: budget hearing, every purp that he visits in a hospital,
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 19: every time that he wants to put out a statement
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 19: expressing outrage about xyz Climb, every oversight hearing, every TV
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 19: and radio appearance, we keep hammering the points that this
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 19: city needs more cops and that he's choosing not to
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 19: fund them. Second, the money is there. That's the important thing.
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 19: The council already added about three hundred million into the
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 19: NYPD budget, so it's not this impossible math problem. It's
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 19: not that New York City can't afford new cops, it's
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 19: that the mayor doesn't want.
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 23: To prioritize them.
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 19: Third, if he keeps stone walling, then the pressure has
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 19: to become political. Moderate Democrats, including that lady that's very
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 19: brave when she's bad mouthing Mom Donnie, but too afraid
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 19: to come on the radio with you, Melissa de Rosa,
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 19: moderate Democrats, and outer boroughs, business groups, parent groups, police unions.
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 19: Everyday New Yorkers, everybody who actually wants safe streets has
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 19: to keep making clear that this is unacceptable because the
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 19: only thing that it's going to move Zoan Mamdanni is
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 19: this the political pain of not hiring cops becomes greater
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 19: than the political pain of angering the anti police left.
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 19: So the answer is, the money's there, The need is there.
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 19: We see that by the fact that rapes and hate
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 19: crimes are still going up, and if the mayor keeps refusing,
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 19: we keep the pressure on until he either changes course
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 19: or he pays a serious political price for it.
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 4: Lovely job. Yeah, they keep telling us the city is safer. Yeah,
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 4: shootings are down in some borrows, murderer is down, but
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 4: that's not the only crimes, and every other crime seems
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 4: to be up. No disrespect to Jessica Tiss, who's doing
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 4: the best she can. I love HER's.
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 19: Great, she's great, but she's been forced into this position
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 19: where the NYPD is the one agency in this city
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 19: that's constantly being asked, as my colleague, Minority leader David
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 19: car said, to do less with less. Yep, they're asked
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 19: to risk fewer people, prosecute fewer crimes, and do fewer things,
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 19: all with less money and less manpower. So we have
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 19: to We don't need to find the money. We need
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 19: to find the mayor's backbone. The money is in the budget.
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 19: Wh's missing is the political will on the other side
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 19: of city Hall.
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 4: All right, there you have it, folks. Today, being July
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 4: the eighth, in three days, we're going to be two
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 4: months away from the most tragic day in our country's history.
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 4: I wasn't around for Pearl Harbor, so for me nine
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 4: to eleven that day were just about two months away
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 4: when so many of our brave cops and firemen and
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 4: first responders. Listen, can'fully folks, they walked upstairs as the
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 4: buildings were coming down. They walked up as the buildings
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 4: were coming down. It is unbelievable to me that there
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 4: are still people in this city, especially people in political office,
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 4: that don't love these people, don't admire these people, and
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 4: don't take care of these people. And as you heard
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 4: Frank just say, it ain't the city council, it's not
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 4: Julie Mennon, it's not Frank Morano, it's the mayor. Mom
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 4: Donnie Frank again, congratulations, thank you.
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 7: My brother.
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 23: I love you.
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 19: I appreciate the opportunity to come on. And I'll just
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 19: mention on the nine to eleven front twenty five years ago,
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 19: that's when I first met Julie. She was a small
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 19: business owner lotting downtown Manhattan, had a restaurant down there,
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 19: and I saw the work that she was doing for
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 19: free to help support the verse responders, and people were
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 19: telling her, you know, their business was done forever, and
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 19: the same thing they was telling everybody. And now what
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 19: she's doing, she's still fighting to get the records about
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 19: where's the air safe to breathe and did the city know?
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 19: And tonight I'm actually hosting the event at the Conference
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 19: House in Staten Island five pm to ten pm with
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 19: fireworks and everything. And you reminded me we're going to
• 1:10:20
  Speaker 19: do a special event. It's for the two hundred and
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 19: fiftieth anniversary of the country, because this is the anniversary
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 19: of the day that the Declaration of Independence was read
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 19: publicly for the first time. But we're also doing a
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 19: special nine to eleven remembrance with the Carl V. Beanie Foundation,
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 19: which was named for a firefighter that was lost on
• 1:10:35
  Speaker 19: nine to eleven. So that's tonight five to ten at
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 19: the Conference House. I hope all your listeners come down.
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 4: You are a great American and a great New York
• 1:10:41
  Speaker 4: and I love you again. Congratulation, congratulations again on the
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 4: Hall of Fame, Thank you, thank you. You know what
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 4: I said a couple of days ago, and once we
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 4: moved past Saturday, and Frank's right, today was the actual
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 4: day they read the Declaration of Independence publicly, But I
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 4: said Saturday, once we moved past the two hundred and
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 4: fiftieth birthday, that I spend every day on this show
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 4: as long as I'm on the air talking about nine
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 4: to eleven until that day comes. I talked all day
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 4: yesterday about the TV show that Dan and I love
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 4: back in the early two thousands. We're watching it again.
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 4: This time it's on Netflix, not FX. It's called Rescue Me,
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 4: and it stars Dennis Leary. It was a great show.
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 4: Great show ran for about six seasons, I believe, and
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 4: if you are not alive during nine to eleven, or
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 4: you watched it and forgot it, I recommend everybody go
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 4: back and watch Rescue Me. I'm trying to get Dennis
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 4: Leary on this show, so I promised every single show
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 4: leading up to nine to eleven, I will say or
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 4: play something that brings back memories of that day. So
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 4: today we picked this. This was President Trump. At the time,
• 1:11:48
  Speaker 4: he was just Donald Trump. I believe it was Channel nine,
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 4: maybe Channel eleven, watching outside his window in New York
• 1:11:56
  Speaker 4: City as all this unfolded. Donald J. Trump, not President Trump.
• 1:12:01
  Speaker 4: Back on nine to eleven, two thousand and one.
• 1:12:03
  Speaker 13: Donald Trump is on the line, and we know him
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 13: as the man behind lots of real estate in Manhattan.
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 13: And of course, Donald, I understand you were actually a
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 13: witness to what happened this morning.
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 14: Well, I have a window that looks directly at the
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 14: World Trade Center, and I saw this huge explosion. I
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 14: was with a group of people, and I really couldn't
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 14: even believe it. And even I think worse than that.
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 14: For years, I've looked right directly at the building. I'd
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 14: see the Empire State Building in the foreground and the
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 14: World Trade Center of the background, and now I'm looking
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 14: at absolutely nothing. It's just gone, and it's just hard
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 14: to believe.
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 15: Donald, you have one of the landmark buildings down in
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 15: the financial district, forty Wall Street. Did you have any
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 15: damage or did you know what's happened down there?
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 14: Well, it was an amazing phone call I made. Forty
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 14: Wall Street actually was the second tallest building in downtown Manhattan,
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 14: and it was actually before the World Trade Center was
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 14: the tallest, and then when they built the World Trade
• 1:12:59
  Speaker 14: Center became known as the second tallest, and now it's
• 1:13:01
  Speaker 14: the tallest. And I just spoke to my people and
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 14: they said, it's the most unbelievable site. It's probably seven
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 14: or eight blocks away from the World Trade Center, and
• 1:13:12
  Speaker 14: yet Wall Street is littered with two feet of stone
• 1:13:16
  Speaker 14: and brick and mortar and steel, and there are thousands
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 14: of people walking over the debris over the Brooklyn Bridge
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 14: where they're sending them out over the Brooklyn Bridge to Brooklyn,
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 14: and then I guess they're going to have to figure
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 14: out how to get home from there. But they have
• 1:13:31
  Speaker 14: between a foot and two feet of debris right in
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 14: front of a building that's probably you would say, Alan
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 14: six or seven blocks away.
• 1:13:40

• 1:17:50
  Speaker 4: going into the hole with me very well. Rosanna Scotto
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 4: has been a friend of mine. We both went to
• 1:17:55
  Speaker 4: poly Prep many many decades ago. Into a brother too,
• 1:17:59
  Speaker 4: and she does a tremendous job on Good Day in
• 1:18:02
  Speaker 4: New York on Channel five. And Bill Ritterer. Know, Bill
• 1:18:06
  Speaker 4: Ritter and I don't agree on a lot of stuff.
• 1:18:10
  Speaker 4: In fact, I've called Bill out on some of his
• 1:18:13
  Speaker 4: opinions on Channel seven. I've even said things like I
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 4: missed the old days when my anchors didn't a Pine
• 1:18:20
  Speaker 4: on the nightly news. But with that said, he's a
• 1:18:24
  Speaker 4: terrific guy, met on more than what occasion, and he's
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 4: had a great career in New York and he does
• 1:18:29
  Speaker 4: deserve to be in the Hall of Fame. So no
• 1:18:32
  Speaker 4: disrespect to the four other radio people from the northern
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 4: part of the state, but I can certainly appreciate what's anascato.
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 4: And Bill Ritter going in with me, well.
• 1:18:42
  Speaker 24: Both have done a phenomenal job. Bill has done a terriffer.
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 24: He's won several awards from US for his work on
• 1:18:49
  Speaker 24: fire safety. And we do try to geographically disperse this
• 1:18:54
  Speaker 24: and we have, for example, two radio guys from who
• 1:18:57
  Speaker 24: are legends, absolute legends, and Glenn's falls Dan Miner and
• 1:19:01
  Speaker 24: Pete Cluttier. So we try to make sure that we
• 1:19:05
  Speaker 24: cover the whole state, and we try to make sure
• 1:19:07
  Speaker 24: that we cover both radio and television. And I have
• 1:19:10
  Speaker 24: to tell you it is a very You've existed in
• 1:19:15
  Speaker 24: the most competitive media market in the world, really, but
• 1:19:19
  Speaker 24: it is really a tough competition to get into this
• 1:19:22
  Speaker 24: Hall of Fame.
• 1:19:22
  Speaker 4: How many names you guys who you start out with.
• 1:19:25
  Speaker 24: We start off with about forty or fifty and you.
• 1:19:28
  Speaker 4: Get down to seven every single year. Wow. Wow.
• 1:19:32
  Speaker 24: It takes a while, and there's a lot of discussion
• 1:19:34
  Speaker 24: back and forth, and we don't make these decisions lightly.
• 1:19:40
  Speaker 4: As you should these is a very big deal. In fact,
• 1:19:42
  Speaker 4: you know, I got a bunch of people now, David
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 4: David Donovan, the president of the New York State Broadcasters Association,
• 1:19:49
  Speaker 4: who want the honor. I don't even know if you
• 1:19:51
  Speaker 4: do this. I think you do because I remember Bill
• 1:19:53
  Speaker 4: Evans getting in last year being a presenter like Don
• 1:19:57
  Speaker 4: shul and Dan Marino at the Football Hall of Fame. Know,
• 1:20:00
  Speaker 4: if the host that day just announces it, if there
• 1:20:03
  Speaker 4: really is a presenter. But I got a whole bunch
• 1:20:05
  Speaker 4: of people already reaching out to me trying to line
• 1:20:08
  Speaker 4: up to be the presenter that day as well as
• 1:20:10
  Speaker 4: you offered me a table at ten I got sixty
• 1:20:13
  Speaker 4: people that want to come already. So what does that
• 1:20:16
  Speaker 4: day actually look like October twenty second at the Rainbow Room.
• 1:20:21
  Speaker 24: Well, what it does is the presenter and we can
• 1:20:24
  Speaker 24: discuss that or maybe we can auction it off to it.
• 1:20:29
  Speaker 23: I like what we do is is.
• 1:20:32
  Speaker 24: That we have a luncheon and it is at the
• 1:20:35
  Speaker 24: Rainbow Room, and you know, everyone you know gets a table,
• 1:20:40
  Speaker 24: and then we have additional tables that are available as well.
• 1:20:44
  Speaker 24: And I also bring in students because we have to
• 1:20:48
  Speaker 24: look at the next generation. So I'll bringing students from
• 1:20:50
  Speaker 24: the colleges around the area. We'll sit at a couple
• 1:20:53
  Speaker 24: of tables. We usually get about, you know, two three
• 1:20:55
  Speaker 24: hundred people in there. I get it can get crowded,
• 1:20:59
  Speaker 24: but it is. Frankly, I've been told by a number
• 1:21:03
  Speaker 24: of folks, both at the national level, would have you
• 1:21:05
  Speaker 24: it is one of the special events in broadcast.
• 1:21:08
  Speaker 19: Oh.
• 1:21:09
  Speaker 4: I can attest to that because you mentioned John Kasumatidis,
• 1:21:12
  Speaker 4: a terrific owner, my dear brand. He won an award
• 1:21:14
  Speaker 4: this over the award last year. We had a great table,
• 1:21:17
  Speaker 4: WABC table and I was there middle of the afternoon,
• 1:21:21
  Speaker 4: gorgeous day. Yeah, it was great. I loved it. It was great.
• 1:21:24
  Speaker 4: And I sat there going, Dave, these bastards, they better
• 1:21:27
  Speaker 4: put me in one of these years. I'm not coming back.
• 1:21:30
  Speaker 24: Well, I must have read your mind.
• 1:21:31
  Speaker 4: Shit, I just got a text as we're speaking, talking
• 1:21:36
  Speaker 4: about Hall of AMers. And I'm not just patronizing this guy.
• 1:21:40
  Speaker 4: This guy is one of the all time greats. He says,
• 1:21:43
  Speaker 4: I want to put my name on the list of
• 1:21:45
  Speaker 4: potential presenters. Happened to be the president of CBS Radio
• 1:21:50
  Speaker 4: when An and all those stations were at their very best.
• 1:21:54
  Speaker 4: The great Dan Mason.
• 1:21:55
  Speaker 24: I know Dan very well, know Dan very very well.
• 1:21:59
  Speaker 23: He's done a great.
• 1:22:00
  Speaker 4: Yeah, a lot of those execs back then, and they
• 1:22:03
  Speaker 4: had a deal with Don I Miss and Howard Stern
• 1:22:06
  Speaker 4: the same company. I mean, could you imagine there were
• 1:22:09
  Speaker 4: actually times David Donovan and Luripino, my amazing sidekick here
• 1:22:13
  Speaker 4: he went to some of those Christmas parties. You'd have
• 1:22:16
  Speaker 4: Howard Stern and Don I Miss not often, maybe only
• 1:22:19
  Speaker 4: once or twice, but at the same Christmas party.
• 1:22:22
  Speaker 7: Yes, yeah, absolutely crazy.
• 1:22:24
  Speaker 24: So it was a very wild time back then. And
• 1:22:28
  Speaker 24: I probably should have admit this, but while you guys
• 1:22:30
  Speaker 24: were doing that, I was an attorney at the FCC.
• 1:22:34
  Speaker 4: Wow, No kidding, you were years I didn't know that. Wow,
• 1:22:39
  Speaker 4: that's funny. So let me ask you this on the
• 1:22:41
  Speaker 4: way out, and again, I can't thank you enough. I'm
• 1:22:43
  Speaker 4: eternally grateful. I really am. I mean that from the
• 1:22:46
  Speaker 4: bottom of my heart. This is a huge, huge deal
• 1:22:48
  Speaker 4: for me. It really is, and my family and my
• 1:22:51
  Speaker 4: father looking down from heaven somewhere, it really is the
• 1:22:54
  Speaker 4: future of radio. Have these discussions with my friend Michael
• 1:22:57
  Speaker 4: Harrison Talker's magazine, Jason Barrett Barrett Media Now you, and
• 1:23:02
  Speaker 4: I know this the broadcaster is you give out TV
• 1:23:04
  Speaker 4: awards as well, right, what was not Ascatto, Bill Ritter,
• 1:23:07
  Speaker 4: But in terms of radio, because I believe that five
• 1:23:10
  Speaker 4: of these seven people going in this year with me
• 1:23:13
  Speaker 4: are radio people, and you bring in young students because
• 1:23:16
  Speaker 4: you're you know, you're looking at the future. What is
• 1:23:19
  Speaker 4: your opinion on the future of radio?
• 1:23:23
  Speaker 24: Well, I think I think we certainly have some challenges
• 1:23:25
  Speaker 24: right now, and I think one of the biggest challenges
• 1:23:28
  Speaker 24: is that the automobile manufacturers want to pull AM and
• 1:23:34
  Speaker 24: now they're even talking FM receivers out of cars, and
• 1:23:38
  Speaker 24: that really sense a large part of the radio audience
• 1:23:41
  Speaker 24: is in the car and drive time. As you will know,
• 1:23:46
  Speaker 24: that could be very damaging. So we are working very
• 1:23:48
  Speaker 24: hard in Washington.
• 1:23:49
  Speaker 11: D C.
• 1:23:50
  Speaker 24: To pass the AM Radio for Every Vehicle Act.
• 1:23:54
  Speaker 4: Yeah, just so you know, I brought this up with
• 1:23:56
  Speaker 4: President Trump the last time he was on this program
• 1:23:58
  Speaker 4: about seven weeks ago. Matitis asked me to I did,
• 1:24:01
  Speaker 4: and President Trump was really behind us.
• 1:24:05
  Speaker 24: He is behind us, and we have three hundred and
• 1:24:07
  Speaker 24: seventeen co sponsors in the House of Representatives, including twenty
• 1:24:12
  Speaker 24: two members from New York City. We have over sixty
• 1:24:15
  Speaker 24: co sponsors in the Senate, including Senator Jillibrand and Leader
• 1:24:20
  Speaker 24: Schumer supports the bill. So we're trying to get this
• 1:24:23
  Speaker 24: across the finish line. That's what it comes down to.
• 1:24:26
  Speaker 24: We are on the five yard line. We want to
• 1:24:28
  Speaker 24: get it done this year. We want to because we
• 1:24:34
  Speaker 24: really have to send a message to the automobile industry
• 1:24:37
  Speaker 24: that local radio should remain in cars.
• 1:24:42
  Speaker 22: Ex Sid and Friends in the morning on the Red
• 1:24:46
  Speaker 22: Apple Podcast Network.
• 1:24:48
  Speaker 4: All Right, the beautiful congress woman. We love this girl.
• 1:24:51
  Speaker 4: She's so terrific. Staten Island Brooklyn does an amazing job.
• 1:24:54
  Speaker 4: Nicole maly Otaka, She's got to run in about nine minutes.
• 1:24:58
  Speaker 4: I want to get to her right away. As soon
• 1:25:00
  Speaker 4: as President Trump lifted the sanctions on Turkey yesterday and
• 1:25:06
  Speaker 4: said nice things about Erdawan and is now considering this
• 1:25:09
  Speaker 4: is unbelievable selling up thirty fives to Turkey. I believe
• 1:25:15
  Speaker 4: Nicole had the same response as I did, as bb
• 1:25:19
  Speaker 4: Netanyau did, as Billy mark Levin, Laura Loomer, budget Gable
• 1:25:25
  Speaker 4: is going to join me later. We all have the
• 1:25:26
  Speaker 4: same response, which is, what in God's name is President
• 1:25:29
  Speaker 4: Trump thinking? So let me get to Nicole, who loves
• 1:25:33
  Speaker 4: the president as much as I do. But there's been
• 1:25:35
  Speaker 4: some head scratching moves coming out of the administration the
• 1:25:39
  Speaker 4: last couple of months between Iran and Turkey, to say
• 1:25:42
  Speaker 4: the least. So tell the audience the call exactly what
• 1:25:45
  Speaker 4: you were thinking when you heard the whole exchange between
• 1:25:48
  Speaker 4: Trump and Erdawan.
• 1:25:53
  Speaker 25: Very troubling. I mean those of us who know Erdidan's
• 1:25:56
  Speaker 25: history here, I mean, look, Turkey, isn't it time? However,
• 1:26:01
  Speaker 25: under Erdigan's leadership, we have seen.
• 1:26:04
  Speaker 11: Them take some very dangerous positions.
• 1:26:08
  Speaker 25: Lining a Turkey with Iran, and I don't know if
• 1:26:12
  Speaker 25: people recalled, they should google by the way, that photograph
• 1:26:16
  Speaker 25: Ertigan Puttin and Riisy of Iran from a number of
• 1:26:20
  Speaker 25: years ago, just a couple of years ago, actually incredibly disturbing.
• 1:26:24
  Speaker 25: And this was when after the Russia Ukraine War even started.
• 1:26:27
  Speaker 25: In fact, Turkey is the only NATO ally that has
• 1:26:31
  Speaker 25: not sanctioned Russia. And they're also harboring Hamas and calling
• 1:26:36
  Speaker 25: for the destruction of Israel. And then we know the
• 1:26:38
  Speaker 25: longstanding issues of bullying NATO ally Greece with illegal military
• 1:26:44
  Speaker 25: overflights above the Greek islands, the illegal occupation of Cyprus,
• 1:26:49
  Speaker 25: another ally of the United States, and in the region
• 1:26:53
  Speaker 25: they've conducted, they've interfered with counter ISIS operations. So there's
• 1:26:59
  Speaker 25: real isn't for concern here that the United States could
• 1:27:03
  Speaker 25: potentially sell our most prestigious technology, the F thirty five jet,
• 1:27:09
  Speaker 25: to Turkey, even after they've also purchased Russian equipment as
• 1:27:15
  Speaker 25: four hundred and So those are our concerns and that
• 1:27:18
  Speaker 25: is why we urged the White House to not make
• 1:27:21
  Speaker 25: any type of deal with erdigand to sell those F
• 1:27:23
  Speaker 25: thirty five jets.
• 1:27:25
  Speaker 4: Well, you've done it, so did BB with Blan Kill
• 1:27:27
  Speaker 4: meet on POKS yesterday. Doesn't seem to matter. President and
• 1:27:31
  Speaker 4: Trump is going to do what he wants to do.
• 1:27:33
  Speaker 4: So my question to you is, why do you think
• 1:27:37
  Speaker 4: the President is doing this?
• 1:27:39
  Speaker 25: Well, I don't know that he's going to do it.
• 1:27:41
  Speaker 25: In fact, where there's many members Republican and Democrat who
• 1:27:45
  Speaker 25: are urging him not to do this. I think that
• 1:27:47
  Speaker 25: the leadership in the Foreign Affairs Committee, both from the
• 1:27:50
  Speaker 25: Minority and the majority, have indicated that this would be problematic,
• 1:27:55
  Speaker 25: and there's also that sentiment being shared by the chairman
• 1:27:59
  Speaker 25: of the Senate Foreign Affairs Committee. I know where Secretary
• 1:28:03
  Speaker 25: Marco Rubio stands, because he's long been an ally of
• 1:28:06
  Speaker 25: Greece and Cyprus and has been very strong on this position.
• 1:28:10
  Speaker 11: So I believe that there's.
• 1:28:12
  Speaker 25: Many people that are advising him not to do this.
• 1:28:14
  Speaker 25: Perhaps this was posturing because Turkey was the host nation
• 1:28:18
  Speaker 25: at the NATO summit, which also raises another question, why
• 1:28:21
  Speaker 25: is the only NATO ally that did not sanction Russia
• 1:28:24
  Speaker 25: becoming the host of this summit? Because this has been
• 1:28:28
  Speaker 25: chosen just in the last year. So I think that
• 1:28:32
  Speaker 25: was a mistake to begin with. So I think that
• 1:28:35
  Speaker 25: enough of us speaking out against this, people who the
• 1:28:39
  Speaker 25: President respects, Admyers and trusts, people like you, Sid, who
• 1:28:44
  Speaker 25: are also very close with the president. Hearing those voices
• 1:28:48
  Speaker 25: out there, us speaking out, I think will hopefully prevent
• 1:28:52
  Speaker 25: this from happening.
• 1:28:53
  Speaker 4: It's funny because people coaching my son's basketball game last
• 1:28:56
  Speaker 4: night and they said, Sid, we think you're afraid to
• 1:29:00
  Speaker 4: or get too tough on the president because your faith.
• 1:29:03
  Speaker 4: He'll get mad at you. And look he could he
• 1:29:05
  Speaker 4: could get mad at me because I have been critical
• 1:29:07
  Speaker 4: Nicole about Iran. I don't know what the hell we're
• 1:29:10
  Speaker 4: doing there. I mean, this morning again, the ceasefires over
• 1:29:13
  Speaker 4: their bad people. Did he just come to that realization?
• 1:29:15
  Speaker 4: Miss saying that for four months? And now you got
• 1:29:17
  Speaker 4: this Turkey situation and the way he treats Mom Donnie,
• 1:29:21
  Speaker 4: which is a heck of a lot better than he
• 1:29:22
  Speaker 4: treats Bibi Nittanyao. So I find myself lately. I find
• 1:29:26
  Speaker 4: myself lately criticizing President Trump more than loving them, which
• 1:29:30
  Speaker 4: is really different from me. But I'm not afraid. You know,
• 1:29:33
  Speaker 4: when it he gets upset with me, then I gotta
• 1:29:35
  Speaker 4: live with that. Okay, he's got two years to go.
• 1:29:38
  Speaker 4: I want him to go out as the best president ever.
• 1:29:40
  Speaker 4: He's been that up to this point. But I gotta
• 1:29:42
  Speaker 4: be honest. The last couple of months, I am really confused.
• 1:29:47
  Speaker 4: So I'm not afraid to criticize President Trump, are you guys?
• 1:29:52
  Speaker 25: Well, yeah, we know that you've criticized us many times.
• 1:29:55
  Speaker 4: Yes, sure, yes, And I love you to piece as
• 1:29:57
  Speaker 4: you know that.
• 1:30:00
  Speaker 25: Say, this is the thing. No one is going to
• 1:30:01
  Speaker 25: agree with somebody one hundred percent of the time.
• 1:30:04
  Speaker 11: That's the bottom line, right if.
• 1:30:06
  Speaker 25: Your own We're all our own individual people. And that's
• 1:30:09
  Speaker 25: why I tell my constituents, like exactly what our friend
• 1:30:12
  Speaker 25: Mayor Ed Koch said, if you agree with me seven
• 1:30:15
  Speaker 25: out of twelve times, you should vote for me. If
• 1:30:16
  Speaker 25: you agree we twelve out of twelve times, you should
• 1:30:18
  Speaker 25: seek a psychiatrist. Nowadays, you know, if you disagree with
• 1:30:22
  Speaker 25: somebody one time, they want to primary you out of office. Right,
• 1:30:24
  Speaker 25: you have to recognize that, you know, if we're going
• 1:30:27
  Speaker 25: to be individuals and we're going to be representing our
• 1:30:29
  Speaker 25: constituency and doing what we think is the best for
• 1:30:32
  Speaker 25: our constituents and the country, that that's going to differ
• 1:30:34
  Speaker 25: from district to district. And I always try to explain
• 1:30:38
  Speaker 25: that when I meet people who may be upset with
• 1:30:40
  Speaker 25: one vote or two votes at of you know, a
• 1:30:43
  Speaker 25: thousand votes. So that's the thing here. I mean, I
• 1:30:46
  Speaker 25: think for the most part, we are happy with the
• 1:30:49
  Speaker 25: leadership of President Trump. We're happy, we agree with them
• 1:30:51
  Speaker 25: with most of the positions. We've delivered amazing things together.
• 1:30:54
  Speaker 25: We secured the border, we're deporting those criminals. We are
• 1:30:57
  Speaker 25: making sure that we are delivering tax relief and letting
• 1:31:01
  Speaker 25: people keep their money. We're attracting businesses and trillions of
• 1:31:04
  Speaker 25: dollars in investment. We delivered on our promises of eliminating
• 1:31:09
  Speaker 25: most taxes on tips on overtime seniors, thirty four million
• 1:31:13
  Speaker 25: across the country gained the money returned to them that
• 1:31:15
  Speaker 25: they paid in social security taxes. So we are doing
• 1:31:18
  Speaker 25: good things every now and then there's going to be
• 1:31:20
  Speaker 25: a hiccup here where we're not going to agree, and
• 1:31:22
  Speaker 25: we need to be vocal about it. And I think
• 1:31:24
  Speaker 25: this is one of those times that this is actually
• 1:31:26
  Speaker 25: very important, not just for the Middle East, for the
• 1:31:28
  Speaker 25: Eastern Mediterranean, but for the United States of America. We
• 1:31:31
  Speaker 25: cannot allow thirty five technology, the most superior jet, to
• 1:31:36
  Speaker 25: be able to fold in the wrong hands. And knowing
• 1:31:39
  Speaker 25: Erdigan's desire to destroy Israel and that they've interfered with
• 1:31:44
  Speaker 25: counter ISIS operations in the past, and the fact that
• 1:31:47
  Speaker 25: they've aligned themselves with Iran and Russia is all the
• 1:31:51
  Speaker 25: reason we need to not allow this to happen. And
• 1:31:55
  Speaker 25: I think deep down that the President knows this. I
• 1:31:57
  Speaker 25: hope this was just posturing because of the NATO SAMMI,
• 1:32:00
  Speaker 25: but we will continue to be vocal against this.
• 1:32:02
  Speaker 4: Final ninety seconds again. He came out this morning, President Trump.
• 1:32:05
  Speaker 4: He said, look, this cease fire to all over. These
• 1:32:08
  Speaker 4: people are scum. You actually use that word, he called
• 1:32:10
  Speaker 4: them scum, he called them google, you know, all these
• 1:32:13
  Speaker 4: wonderful adjectives. What do you guys in Congress stand on
• 1:32:17
  Speaker 4: the future of America and Iran?
• 1:32:22
  Speaker 25: Look, I think for all of us, you know, obviously,
• 1:32:24
  Speaker 25: Iran is a country, a regime that cannot be trusted,
• 1:32:28
  Speaker 25: and so you know, we want to always give the
• 1:32:31
  Speaker 25: President the benefit of the doubt and allow him the
• 1:32:33
  Speaker 25: flexibility to negotiate the best possible deal that would eliminate
• 1:32:40
  Speaker 25: Iran's ability to have a nuclear weapon. Obviously, the questions
• 1:32:43
  Speaker 25: during this entire process that we've been asking is how
• 1:32:47
  Speaker 25: are we going to make sure that they're complying with
• 1:32:49
  Speaker 25: actual inspections and making sure that any sanctioned relief or
• 1:32:54
  Speaker 25: any any unfreezing of assets, that that money's not going
• 1:32:58
  Speaker 25: to go to continue accept it's not going to continue
• 1:33:01
  Speaker 25: to fund hamas and HESBLA, and that those are the
• 1:33:03
  Speaker 25: hard questions. How are you going to ensure that that's
• 1:33:06
  Speaker 25: going to happen? And so you know, we we we've
• 1:33:09
  Speaker 25: been giving the president flexibility to negotiate. Clearly, the ceasefire
• 1:33:14
  Speaker 25: has been very fragile. Now it seems that it could
• 1:33:16
  Speaker 25: be broken, but but we'll have to see what the
• 1:33:19
  Speaker 25: president does moving forward here and how he's going to
• 1:33:22
  Speaker 25: handle it. But those are the questions that we've been
• 1:33:25
  Speaker 25: asking as members of Congress. And you know, we haven't
• 1:33:28
  Speaker 25: had a classified briefing, by the way, and this is
• 1:33:30
  Speaker 25: actually something that's problematic, the fact that Congress has not
• 1:33:33
  Speaker 25: been given a classified briefing on the details of the
• 1:33:36
  Speaker 25: piece the agreement that is in the works. It's not
• 1:33:40
  Speaker 25: a deal yet, but there was a framework in place,
• 1:33:42
  Speaker 25: and we don't have any details on what.
• 1:33:44
  Speaker 17: Where they were going.
• 1:33:45
  Speaker 25: But look, and that's the thing. We had a briefing
• 1:33:49
  Speaker 25: last week with Senator Marco Rubio and wit Cough, but
• 1:33:53
  Speaker 25: it wasn't classified and therefore it's the same stuff you
• 1:33:55
  Speaker 25: read on Twitter. We need to have more information to
• 1:33:59
  Speaker 25: make it informed to see here, and if they want
• 1:34:01
  Speaker 25: us to fund, if they want funding for the Department
• 1:34:04
  Speaker 25: of War, they need to give us this classified briefly.
• 1:34:06
  Speaker 11: That's all I'll say.
• 1:34:06
  Speaker 4: Fair enough, Nicole is always amazing job. They had to
• 1:34:09
  Speaker 4: have to offer a couple of minutes continued success. You
• 1:34:11
  Speaker 4: really are great, Nicole Mariotakis. Thank you so much.
• 1:34:14
  Speaker 11: Good to be my friend, you too.
• 1:34:16
  Speaker 4: All the love. Mark Levin just tweeted this literally six
• 1:34:19
  Speaker 4: minutes ago. You know much I love the great one,
• 1:34:22
  Speaker 4: says Ertuwan has repeatedly referred to Israel and Natanyahu as
• 1:34:26
  Speaker 4: Nazis and the third rights. Not once has our government
• 1:34:31
  Speaker 4: publicly commented, let alone denounced him. His foreign minister talked
• 1:34:36
  Speaker 4: about the annihilation of the israel people crickets from our government,
• 1:34:41
  Speaker 4: and now we lavish them with the highest level military
• 1:34:45
  Speaker 4: gifts and a parent contravention of congressional restrictions. And I
• 1:34:50
  Speaker 4: told you Natanyahu would come under attack by our government
• 1:34:53
  Speaker 4: for raising for raising concerns, which he has done politely
• 1:34:57
  Speaker 4: and appropriately. He he's in the way, you see, too
• 1:35:01
  Speaker 4: busy in focus on protecting his country from one hundred
• 1:35:05
  Speaker 4: thirty five's in Ertuwan's hands. Of course, many others have
• 1:35:09
  Speaker 4: challenged all this, including Greece and Cyprus, and here at
• 1:35:14
  Speaker 4: home you can all look up the long list of
• 1:35:17
  Speaker 4: Ertowan provocations against Israel, Greece and Cyprus, and his police
• 1:35:23
  Speaker 4: state oppression and his very cozy relationship with Putin that
• 1:35:28
  Speaker 4: undermines America and NATO.
• 1:35:31
  Speaker 22: Wiga, Sid and Friends in the morning on the Red
• 1:35:36
  Speaker 22: Apple podcast network.
• 1:35:38
  Speaker 4: We did have David Donovan on earlier, the president of
• 1:35:42
  Speaker 4: the New York State Broadcasters Association Chantolmy, he's actually retiring,
• 1:35:47
  Speaker 4: So we're gonna get David, I think on the way out,
• 1:35:50
  Speaker 4: our dear friend Mark Oranger. He says, Ava and Gabriel
• 1:35:55
  Speaker 4: should do it. I mean, you won't be upset with that,
• 1:35:57
  Speaker 4: would you? Allude?
• 1:35:58
  Speaker 17: I'm going to my children.
• 1:36:00
  Speaker 4: No, you'll be upset with everything. Not anything. Everything.
• 1:36:05
  Speaker 17: Uh.
• 1:36:05
  Speaker 4: Pete Morgan said he'd try to buy a table him
• 1:36:09
  Speaker 4: and Boatdedle, but they're not ready yet. So it looks
• 1:36:12
  Speaker 4: like Pete's going to buy a table, of course he is. Yeah,
• 1:36:16
  Speaker 4: And somebody else just texted me and said, I swear
• 1:36:20
  Speaker 4: to God anybody but Lou.
• 1:36:22
  Speaker 18: You're kidding, swear to God?
• 1:36:24
  Speaker 17: Who did I think it was?
• 1:36:25
  Speaker 4: Wyat? I'm kidding. I'm just kidding. I know the person
• 1:36:29
  Speaker 4: that is somebody on social media DM anybody, but look
• 1:36:33
  Speaker 4: so that God who cares. Yeah, I've never ever seen
• 1:36:40
  Speaker 4: Lou get any bad price or any any negative nothing
• 1:36:43
  Speaker 4: now that they're but got very little of that, very little.
• 1:36:46
  Speaker 4: I get it all because why I'm a dick. That's
• 1:36:49
  Speaker 4: why I'm successful. When you're not, you're just kind of
• 1:36:52
  Speaker 4: you know, you move along you're doing well, you make
• 1:36:54
  Speaker 4: good money, you're in the business a long time. But
• 1:36:56
  Speaker 4: when you want to become that guy that they right
• 1:37:00
  Speaker 4: years later, you better piss off a lot of people,
• 1:37:03
  Speaker 4: a lot, And I tend to do that. Even people
• 1:37:07
  Speaker 4: that like me and love me, they get pissed off. Oh,
• 1:37:10
  Speaker 4: I thought to Hank Steinkoff coming up next. It was
• 1:37:12
  Speaker 4: a great interview earlier today with Frank Morano, who said, listen,
• 1:37:16
  Speaker 4: it wasn't Julie Mennon's fault, It wasn't Jessica Titi's fault
• 1:37:19
  Speaker 4: that in this new budget one hundred and twenty six
• 1:37:23
  Speaker 4: billion dollars, the city couldn't find a way to add
• 1:37:28
  Speaker 4: one cop or added that fifth firefighter on that truck.
• 1:37:33
  Speaker 4: The city can do it, he said, listen, all the mayor,
• 1:37:37
  Speaker 4: it all goes back to mom Donnie. He got pressure
• 1:37:41
  Speaker 4: from his DSA Psycho buddies. They gave him hell and
• 1:37:45
  Speaker 4: he made sure no cops, no biermen. By the way,
• 1:37:50
  Speaker 4: Frank also said, they got plenty of money. They've got
• 1:37:53
  Speaker 4: the money to do it. The city has the money
• 1:37:57
  Speaker 4: to do it, but no cops and no firefighter. We'll
• 1:38:01
  Speaker 4: talk to Hank Shinkoff about this Dreadful Mayor, Sid and.
• 1:38:06
  Speaker 22: Friends in the Morning on the Red Apple Podcast Network.
• 1:38:10
  Speaker 4: The Mayor and what's going on in this city. Although
• 1:38:13
  Speaker 4: he did win, and I've heard Hank Shinkoff say he's
• 1:38:17
  Speaker 4: pretty good at I guess getting people to believe what
• 1:38:22
  Speaker 4: he was selling because he's a liar. He just is
• 1:38:26
  Speaker 4: a liar and was starting to see that, I guess.
• 1:38:29
  Speaker 4: So with that said here he is become one of
• 1:38:31
  Speaker 4: my favorite guests on this station. Hank Shinkoff, Hank, good morning, Pyle,
• 1:38:35
  Speaker 4: how are you good.
• 1:38:37
  Speaker 11: Thank you very much for having me on today.
• 1:38:39
  Speaker 4: Love to hear your voice. Thank you, man. I love
• 1:38:41
  Speaker 4: having you on this show too. I appreciate that, Hank,
• 1:38:43
  Speaker 4: Thank you. I want to go back. We'll do this
• 1:38:45
  Speaker 4: in chronological order, so we'll start with the budget. I
• 1:38:49
  Speaker 4: had city Councilman Frank Morano on this show earlier. I've
• 1:38:52
  Speaker 4: been having text conversations all morning long with counsel Lady
• 1:38:56
  Speaker 4: Vicki Palladino. I love both of them. One hundred and
• 1:38:58
  Speaker 4: twenty six billion dollars, and we couldn't find a way
• 1:39:02
  Speaker 4: to add one cop let alone six hundred or a
• 1:39:06
  Speaker 4: fifth firefighter. There's all kinds of stories about sensitivity training
• 1:39:10
  Speaker 4: and was men In responsible yes or no? Was Jesse
• 1:39:14
  Speaker 4: Tish responsible yes or no? But for me, it all
• 1:39:17
  Speaker 4: goes back to the mayor. What are your thoughts on
• 1:39:19
  Speaker 4: this budget and why the city? We got the money,
• 1:39:22
  Speaker 4: we got the money, Why couldn't we add one cop?
• 1:39:26
  Speaker 8: You know?
• 1:39:26
  Speaker 11: The reality is we don't have the money for anything
• 1:39:29
  Speaker 11: as a twelve billion dollar budget hole in that budget.
• 1:39:31
  Speaker 11: A lot of us on the union side have been
• 1:39:33
  Speaker 11: talking about this for to at least two years. It
• 1:39:36
  Speaker 11: is a serious problem. The state is going to be
• 1:39:38
  Speaker 11: in very serious fiscal trouble next year. The city will
• 1:39:41
  Speaker 11: be in very serious fiscal trouble right after the first year.
• 1:39:44
  Speaker 11: And this is all nonsense. And what the mayor is
• 1:39:46
  Speaker 11: going to do is blame the state, which is kind
• 1:39:48
  Speaker 11: of an idiotic and absurd.
• 1:39:51
  Speaker 4: Wait, how could he blame the state? Correct me if
• 1:39:53
  Speaker 4: I'm wrong, Hank you much more than I am. When
• 1:39:55
  Speaker 4: Kathy Hochel gave him somewhere between a five and eight
• 1:39:58
  Speaker 4: billion dollar bailout.
• 1:40:00
  Speaker 11: She gave an eight billion dollar bailout. But it's not
• 1:40:02
  Speaker 11: sufficient to meet the problem. Why because it keeps adding
• 1:40:05
  Speaker 11: numbers to existing programs or new programs that aren't necessary.
• 1:40:09
  Speaker 11: The costs are higher than they should be. He's not
• 1:40:11
  Speaker 11: setting any place. He's not making room in there for
• 1:40:13
  Speaker 11: a union contract, which is going to have to do,
• 1:40:15
  Speaker 11: he said, union contract setting up. There's no new pops
• 1:40:18
  Speaker 11: of that budget. The costs of that are going to
• 1:40:20
  Speaker 11: be overwhelming to people. I don't think we understand how
• 1:40:23
  Speaker 11: seriousness is. And this is not a joke. You can't
• 1:40:26
  Speaker 11: print money in the base of the city Hall. They
• 1:40:28
  Speaker 11: tried it in nineteen seventy four, seventy three, and the end,
• 1:40:31
  Speaker 11: yourself was nineteen seventy five, which was the Bank of
• 1:40:33
  Speaker 11: Sea of New York City.
• 1:40:35
  Speaker 4: You know, I saw a documentary Hank a couple of
• 1:40:37
  Speaker 4: days ago because I'm younger, and it was about the
• 1:40:40
  Speaker 4: Joe Colombo slash Joey Gallo assassinations in New York City,
• 1:40:45
  Speaker 4: and Joey, of course got murdered outside him Berto's clamhouse.
• 1:40:49
  Speaker 4: But in that documentary they showed you what New York
• 1:40:52
  Speaker 4: looked like in that era you're talking about mid nineteen seventies.
• 1:40:56
  Speaker 4: Just about every week, toll store out of business, building
• 1:41:00
  Speaker 4: at the building blown out and vacant. I mean, it
• 1:41:03
  Speaker 4: just looked awful. Are you telling me not that we're
• 1:41:07
  Speaker 4: going to look like here in the not so distant future.
• 1:41:10
  Speaker 11: I don't know if that's going to look that way.
• 1:41:12
  Speaker 11: Sid It's an important question there is what we are
• 1:41:14
  Speaker 11: going to have his cuts and services, and we're gonna
• 1:41:16
  Speaker 11: have to have a bail out of some kind. That's
• 1:41:18
  Speaker 11: a fact of life. The mayor wants that to happen
• 1:41:20
  Speaker 11: because he can blame the state and the FEDSI he's
• 1:41:23
  Speaker 11: gonna have to go to the federal government or the
• 1:41:24
  Speaker 11: governor's going to have to impose a financial control board
• 1:41:27
  Speaker 11: at some point. It just continues, and they won't want
• 1:41:29
  Speaker 11: to go to the FEDS because they got a problem
• 1:41:31
  Speaker 11: with Trump and Trump's the only one that can bail
• 1:41:33
  Speaker 11: them out. You're then have to go to the FED.
• 1:41:35
  Speaker 11: Federalis are probably for an instant bailout loan. It's not
• 1:41:38
  Speaker 11: gonna be easy. It's gonna be very, very complicated. The
• 1:41:40
  Speaker 11: best book to read on the pistol crisis, there a
• 1:41:42
  Speaker 11: lot of them, is a book now by Richard Farley
• 1:41:45
  Speaker 11: that's out about I guess six eight months and where
• 1:41:47
  Speaker 11: he talks about the piscol crisis seven to five and
• 1:41:50
  Speaker 11: what the implications are. This is very very serious stuff
• 1:41:52
  Speaker 11: and those of us who work for you used were
• 1:41:54
  Speaker 11: involved with You know, I worked for a lot of
• 1:41:56
  Speaker 11: you in scruding cops, but gives city detectives, which I'm
• 1:41:59
  Speaker 11: proud to say, this is a very very very very
• 1:42:03
  Speaker 11: serious issue that no one is paying attention to in
• 1:42:06
  Speaker 11: the way that they should. They're gonna be really sorry.
• 1:42:08
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I know. I know the cop union's Hank because
• 1:42:10
  Speaker 4: I'm very close with Scott Monroe, he runs the DEEA,
• 1:42:14
  Speaker 4: even the retired detectives. I'm very very close, as you
• 1:42:17
  Speaker 4: know with Vincent Ballalang, he runs the Sergeant's Union. So
• 1:42:20
  Speaker 4: I know the cops unions hate them. They hate them.
• 1:42:22
  Speaker 4: I'm going to say it. They won't. Maybe they will,
• 1:42:24
  Speaker 4: they hate them, but the rest of the unions around
• 1:42:27
  Speaker 4: the city. I had a guy in here forgot his
• 1:42:29
  Speaker 4: name already, you know, people love him. He's in charge
• 1:42:31
  Speaker 4: of like the horse and buggies in transportation, and he
• 1:42:34
  Speaker 4: was trying to sell me on mom, Donnie, and nearly
• 1:42:36
  Speaker 4: kicked him out of the studio before Ma'm Donnie even won.
• 1:42:39
  Speaker 4: So you tell me, Hank on the whole, how do
• 1:42:42
  Speaker 4: unions feel the majority about this? Mayor?
• 1:42:46
  Speaker 11: Looks they have to come in for contract negotiations after
• 1:42:48
  Speaker 11: the first year. Some of the contracts are up sooner
• 1:42:51
  Speaker 11: than others. But again, if you look at the votes
• 1:42:53
  Speaker 11: on the mayor's decision not to fund tensions going forward,
• 1:42:57
  Speaker 11: which he did, which is very dangerous. It happened I
• 1:42:59
  Speaker 11: think seventy three, and it was one of the factors
• 1:43:02
  Speaker 11: that led to the pistol crisis in the city bankruptcy
• 1:43:05
  Speaker 11: in seventy five, for which in many ways we've not recovered.
• 1:43:07
  Speaker 11: The city university doesn't belong to the city, the community
• 1:43:10
  Speaker 11: colleges don't belong to the city with their own problems.
• 1:43:13
  Speaker 11: The hospital assistant really doesn't belong to the city anymore.
• 1:43:17
  Speaker 11: I mean, we had pre setting health cutics, we had
• 1:43:19
  Speaker 11: free university. I mean, we had a lot of things
• 1:43:21
  Speaker 11: that created the middle class that's gone. So if you
• 1:43:24
  Speaker 11: want to look to the crisis that we've created that
• 1:43:26
  Speaker 11: we have in front of us, about the portability looked
• 1:43:29
  Speaker 11: to seventy five and bad management by politicians. I worked
• 1:43:32
  Speaker 11: for a lot of other minicial units of liue, the
• 1:43:34
  Speaker 11: local two thirty seven Sieveseraison, which I'm proud to have
• 1:43:36
  Speaker 11: done that for a long time, and I can tell
• 1:43:38
  Speaker 11: you just talking to people that they know they've got
• 1:43:41
  Speaker 11: to go to contract negotiations next year, so not going
• 1:43:43
  Speaker 11: to take them on a lot in public. But this
• 1:43:45
  Speaker 11: is not a good set of circumstances.
• 1:43:48
  Speaker 4: Hank, Shank Kopio and Hank. I'm reading this morning about
• 1:43:51
  Speaker 4: all these vacant stabilized apartments in the thousands, maybe as
• 1:43:56
  Speaker 4: money as seven thousand and then he got his wish
• 1:43:59
  Speaker 4: about freezing the rank. And I'm not a real estate person.
• 1:44:01
  Speaker 4: I'm not that smart. But smarter people than me, you're
• 1:44:04
  Speaker 4: telling me that will absolutely lead to a disaster in
• 1:44:09
  Speaker 4: terms of the financial implications. So you tell me those
• 1:44:13
  Speaker 4: two things, how bad of those for the city.
• 1:44:16
  Speaker 11: You can't do the kind of things he's doing in
• 1:44:18
  Speaker 11: the way he's doing them and expect to every good outcome.
• 1:44:21
  Speaker 11: It doesn't work that way. There are other ways to
• 1:44:23
  Speaker 11: create affordable housing rather than going into present housing supply
• 1:44:28
  Speaker 11: and destroying it. You should come up with all kinds
• 1:44:30
  Speaker 11: of tax incentives help landlords upgrade properties. What you're going
• 1:44:34
  Speaker 11: to have is a real extraih because the properties, the repair,
• 1:44:40
  Speaker 11: the constant upkeep. Guess what if you cut if you
• 1:44:43
  Speaker 11: cut income, where do you think the money's going to
• 1:44:46
  Speaker 11: come from to do the repairs and keep up those
• 1:44:48
  Speaker 11: properties in the way that you need. It doesn't come
• 1:44:50
  Speaker 11: out of the air. Insurance corus are up, fuel costs
• 1:44:53
  Speaker 11: are up, profit marches are likely down overall, and demand
• 1:44:57
  Speaker 11: is high. So what if people expect that You can
• 1:45:00
  Speaker 11: blame the great generation that thinks that somehow they've been
• 1:45:03
  Speaker 11: done a dirty service, even though they haven't lived that
• 1:45:05
  Speaker 11: long to do any service. They're the great Jedi buyers
• 1:45:08
  Speaker 11: for what we're experiencing this summer set. If you look
• 1:45:10
  Speaker 11: at the neighborhoods that they've gentrified, including portions of Washington
• 1:45:13
  Speaker 11: Heights where it's a spy I lost that election two
• 1:45:15
  Speaker 11: weeks ago, Right, you look at that area, what you
• 1:45:18
  Speaker 11: see as people who've never borne a burden or paid
• 1:45:20
  Speaker 11: a price suddenly tricing everybody else out Bushwick, Jito on
• 1:45:24
  Speaker 11: On on the great Park Slope renewal of fifty to
• 1:45:27
  Speaker 11: sixty years. They priced people out, the blue collar working
• 1:45:29
  Speaker 11: class that lived in neighborhoods like that is going. So
• 1:45:32
  Speaker 11: what are we talking about?
• 1:45:34
  Speaker 4: You're right, it is gone Park Slope and Dumboll, all
• 1:45:36
  Speaker 4: those fancy brook the neighborhoods. I may as well call
• 1:45:38
  Speaker 4: that Manhattan. There's point let's be honest. You know, yeah,
• 1:45:41
  Speaker 4: I mean they start it like too many.
• 1:45:43
  Speaker 8: You know.
• 1:45:44
  Speaker 4: I had Bruce Plateman back on the show yesterday. Bruce
• 1:45:46
  Speaker 4: and I are very close, very we speak every day,
• 1:45:49
  Speaker 4: and I believe I was either the first or second
• 1:45:51
  Speaker 4: person even told getting back a year ago he's going
• 1:45:54
  Speaker 4: to run for governor and know you keep hearing and
• 1:45:56
  Speaker 4: I brought this up to him, was it's a lot
• 1:45:58
  Speaker 4: of pressure that the only way that the state survives
• 1:46:01
  Speaker 4: is if he wins. Because the current governor, Hank Kathy Hokal,
• 1:46:05
  Speaker 4: is scared the death of Mamdanni, And even though she
• 1:46:08
  Speaker 4: says a lot of things now which kind of disagree
• 1:46:11
  Speaker 4: with Mamdanni, the consensus is if she wins, they'll be
• 1:46:16
  Speaker 4: like two peas in a pod. Do you agree that
• 1:46:19
  Speaker 4: Bruce Blakeman may be the only savior for the state.
• 1:46:22
  Speaker 11: Well, let's go back. Here's the Here is some of
• 1:46:24
  Speaker 11: the realities. The DSA, and they're not Democrats as socialist
• 1:46:28
  Speaker 11: and who knows what they really are, has a simple
• 1:46:31
  Speaker 11: plan which is take over the legislature, control the reapportion
• 1:46:34
  Speaker 11: in twenty twenty eight, ultimately get enough people in Congress
• 1:46:37
  Speaker 11: to make sure that they can change the constitution of
• 1:46:40
  Speaker 11: the United States to make Mamdani or someone like that
• 1:46:42
  Speaker 11: the president. It's not born in this country and they
• 1:46:44
  Speaker 11: can't do it here in the latterly, So they've got
• 1:46:46
  Speaker 11: to change the constitutions. That's the long term plan. Destroy
• 1:46:49
  Speaker 11: the economy and destroy the state of Israel and democracies
• 1:46:53
  Speaker 11: throughout the world. That's the job. Question are they're going
• 1:46:55
  Speaker 11: to get to do it? New York State is ground zero.
• 1:46:57
  Speaker 11: The money is here, the actions here, the media is here.
• 1:47:00
  Speaker 11: So what you want to do is you want to
• 1:47:01
  Speaker 11: destroy the States. Now, if you don't have somebody who's
• 1:47:03
  Speaker 11: going to stop him, you're going to stand up to him,
• 1:47:05
  Speaker 11: or isn't afraid of being elected, or legislature that's not
• 1:47:08
  Speaker 11: afraid of being re elected, you're going to have a disaster.
• 1:47:13
  Speaker 4: That's the bottom line.
• 1:47:14
  Speaker 11: Otherwise it's pooling themselves. They're absolutely fooling themselves.
• 1:47:17
  Speaker 4: Why do you think my friend President Trump has chosen
• 1:47:21
  Speaker 4: this path where he goes out of his way to
• 1:47:23
  Speaker 4: compliment mom, Donnie. There's got to be a great plan,
• 1:47:25
  Speaker 4: some chess game he's playing. I love Trump, you know,
• 1:47:28
  Speaker 4: I do, Hank, and I feelt badly criticizing him, but
• 1:47:31
  Speaker 4: I do. I'm trying to figure out. Why do you
• 1:47:33
  Speaker 4: think he does that?
• 1:47:35
  Speaker 11: Look, it's really simple. Yeah, the city's going to have
• 1:47:39
  Speaker 11: to come back to the President if this continues in
• 1:47:43
  Speaker 11: the way that we suspect it will, to prebail out.
• 1:47:46
  Speaker 11: Trump is in charge of this game, and what he's
• 1:47:48
  Speaker 11: doing is taking telling this nice young fella who has
• 1:47:51
  Speaker 11: no experience of doing anything except for growing up. He's
• 1:47:54
  Speaker 11: telling him that, By the way, fella, I'm really in
• 1:47:56
  Speaker 11: charge or not. So smile, tap dance, have a good time.
• 1:48:00
  Speaker 4: I think you're right. No, I think that's probably it.
• 1:48:03
  Speaker 4: Don't forget I'm the boss. On the way out. I
• 1:48:06
  Speaker 4: know you saw all the speeches on Saturday, the July
• 1:48:09
  Speaker 4: fourth speeches celebrating two fifty. I thought Trump was great.
• 1:48:12
  Speaker 4: I thought Phoebe from Israel was great. But the darkest,
• 1:48:16
  Speaker 4: most depressing, and most difficult speech to watch, including the
• 1:48:20
  Speaker 4: nine people around them, was mom Donnie with George Washington's
• 1:48:24
  Speaker 4: desk backwards, which.
• 1:48:26
  Speaker 11: Obviously wasn't the stay this kid has had was the
• 1:48:28
  Speaker 11: day he was brought into the earth. His father and
• 1:48:31
  Speaker 11: his mother and he lived in essentially taxed subsidized housing
• 1:48:34
  Speaker 11: at Columbia, where no taxes are paid at lower rates,
• 1:48:37
  Speaker 11: making a lot of money. She's famous. She tried to
• 1:48:40
  Speaker 11: block the Alga Dat from appearing at the Academy Awards
• 1:48:42
  Speaker 11: because she's a big player in Hollywood. Now, you know,
• 1:48:45
  Speaker 11: what are we talking about? This kid's self estate was
• 1:48:47
  Speaker 11: the day he was born. Doesn't He doesn't know what
• 1:48:50
  Speaker 11: it means to put a callous on his hand. He
• 1:48:52
  Speaker 11: has no idea what it means to work behind the
• 1:48:53
  Speaker 11: counter to your seat fleet. He's got no idea what
• 1:48:55
  Speaker 11: it means to book walker be but touch somebody put
• 1:48:58
  Speaker 11: your life in danger, for which I think is right.
• 1:49:00
  Speaker 11: Who are we talking about? What are we talking about?
• 1:49:03
  Speaker 4: But then with all this generation n no, But then
• 1:49:06
  Speaker 4: with all this gloom and doom that you're predicting and
• 1:49:08
  Speaker 4: I agree with and every smart person agrees with, that's
• 1:49:10
  Speaker 4: why people are leaving or moving their businesses. Well, how
• 1:49:14
  Speaker 4: do you stop them? You can't just chalk it up
• 1:49:15
  Speaker 4: to inexperience or he's a kid. How do we stop on?
• 1:49:20
  Speaker 11: The only people that can stop this are the people
• 1:49:23
  Speaker 11: that have some ability to threaten people and force them
• 1:49:26
  Speaker 11: to do the right thing, and that is that Those
• 1:49:28
  Speaker 11: are the municipal unions and the private sector unions. We're
• 1:49:31
  Speaker 11: going to have to if they want to see the
• 1:49:33
  Speaker 11: place survive. They're going to have to stand up and say,
• 1:49:35
  Speaker 11: wait a second, we're gonna go to war with you,
• 1:49:37
  Speaker 11: and we're gonna use whatever resources we have. Because they're
• 1:49:40
  Speaker 11: expecting they can do contracts next year. He's not going
• 1:49:43
  Speaker 11: to have the money. It's not there. You can't do
• 1:49:46
  Speaker 11: a deal with somebody who has not a dime to spend.
• 1:49:49
  Speaker 11: And that's the reality that the unions are going to
• 1:49:51
  Speaker 11: have to face. They're the only ones who had stopped
• 1:49:53
  Speaker 11: this the same way they save the city in seventy five.
• 1:49:56
  Speaker 11: And I'm not talking about a bail at this time.
• 1:49:58
  Speaker 11: I'm talking about standing up and saying, listen, Mayor, your
• 1:50:00
  Speaker 11: blood and the budget, you're not creating jobs, and you're
• 1:50:04
  Speaker 11: gonna put us out of business system. You're gonna put
• 1:50:07
  Speaker 11: us all out of business. That's what they have to do.
• 1:50:10
  Speaker 11: And ultimately maybe they will if we're lucky. If not,
• 1:50:12
  Speaker 11: the business community will say thank you, New York, have
• 1:50:14
  Speaker 11: a good time because they don't have to stay here anymore. Yeah,
• 1:50:17
  Speaker 11: in seventy five, unicipal bonds mattered, right, You had smaller
• 1:50:21
  Speaker 11: banks and a lot of their you.
• 1:50:22
  Speaker 19: Had banks first of all.
• 1:50:24
  Speaker 11: And a lot of their income came from city municipal paper.
• 1:50:27
  Speaker 11: It's not the case anymore. The people are deluding themselves.
• 1:50:30
  Speaker 11: The entire systems has changed. So I'm looking for the
• 1:50:33
  Speaker 11: union guys to stand them and say, wait a second, Mayor,
• 1:50:35
  Speaker 11: you can't do this. We're not gonna let you. And
• 1:50:37
  Speaker 11: by the way, we're gonna fight you. If they do,
• 1:50:40
  Speaker 11: we win, and if they don't, well the city loses
• 1:50:42
  Speaker 11: big time.
• 1:50:43
  Speaker 4: Ouch. Well, Hank shink Coff, you will you au terrific.
• 1:50:46
  Speaker 4: I tell you that every time. But you are, You're great,
• 1:50:47
  Speaker 4: and you provide any perspective that's really smart that a
• 1:50:51
  Speaker 4: lot of folks in the city don't look at. So
• 1:50:53
  Speaker 4: I really appreciate when you come on. Thank you so much.
• 1:50:55
  Speaker 4: Great up with today, Thank you so much, Thank you,
• 1:50:57
  Speaker 4: Sid all the best, God bless you. Hank Shankoff right there,
• 1:51:00
  Speaker 4: guy's great, he is, and he's probably right the unions.
• 1:51:04
  Speaker 4: That's it. It's not another politician. It's not me, and
• 1:51:08
  Speaker 4: I had to think that I can help make this
• 1:51:11
  Speaker 4: guy's life miserable. I think I've done a little bit
• 1:51:13
  Speaker 4: of that, maybe even more than a little, but in
• 1:51:15
  Speaker 4: the end to really change things I'm talking about make
• 1:51:19
  Speaker 4: the city healthy. Hank Shankoff is right, it's got to be.
• 1:51:23
  Speaker 4: The unions got to step up and tell this guy,
• 1:51:27
  Speaker 4: Like Roberto duran One said, as you remember, well, Lewis
• 1:51:30
  Speaker 4: no Moss. You remember it? No Moss A.
• 1:51:34
  Speaker 17: Great moment in my life.
• 1:51:36
  Speaker 4: It was it was a sugar Ray Leonard. What was yes,
• 1:51:40
  Speaker 4: sugar Leard? Yeah, yeah, stay down to the opposing Yes,
• 1:51:45
  Speaker 4: no razing. It was a crazy moment. Oh, take a
• 1:51:48
  Speaker 4: break when we get back. This is a great guys too.
• 1:51:51
  Speaker 4: I love this lady. Me and Bernie had around years
• 1:51:54
  Speaker 4: and years ago. She just recently came back and she's
• 1:51:57
  Speaker 4: got a lot to say about Turkey, Iran, all of it.
• 1:52:01
  Speaker 4: She's hugely popular on social media, TV, all of it.
• 1:52:05
  Speaker 4: Our friend Brigitte Gabriel makes our return to sitting Friends
• 1:52:08
  Speaker 4: in the Morning.
• 1:52:09
  Speaker 22: SID and Friends in the Morning on the Red Apple
• 1:52:13
  Speaker 22: Podcast network.
• 1:52:15
  Speaker 8: I can tell you we're going to be taking the
• 1:52:17
  Speaker 8: sanctions off, Okay.
• 1:52:20
  Speaker 9: I don't want him to waste his time answering that question,
• 1:52:23
  Speaker 9: because we're working very closely with Marco Rubio, very famous man,
• 1:52:29
  Speaker 9: great Secretary of State, and with Scott Bessett and with
• 1:52:33
  Speaker 9: Pete and everybody else. We're going to be taking the
• 1:52:35
  Speaker 9: sanctions off. It's time to do that, Okay, we don't
• 1:52:42
  Speaker 9: want to sanction friends.
• 1:52:43
  Speaker 8: It's very simple.
• 1:52:44
  Speaker 12: Turkey is a great country, but it's governed by a
• 1:52:48
  Speaker 12: man who calls openly for the annihilation of Israel. He
• 1:52:52
  Speaker 12: occupies half of Cyprus, a NATO country, He's threatening Greece
• 1:52:56
  Speaker 12: and other NATO country, and he talks openly about conquering Jerusalem.
• 1:53:00
  Speaker 12: As a foreign minister, is number two said that the
• 1:53:04
  Speaker 12: Jewish state hasn't a place among humanity.
• 1:53:07
  Speaker 7: Basically, it has to be wiped out.
• 1:53:09
  Speaker 12: His interior minister, he looked, said he looks forward to
• 1:53:12
  Speaker 12: be the governor of Jerusalem. Well for a regime infected
• 1:53:17
  Speaker 12: by the Muslim Brotherhood, an extreme movement that hates America
• 1:53:21
  Speaker 12: and chance death to America.
• 1:53:22
  Speaker 7: From that side of the spectrum.
• 1:53:23
  Speaker 4: He said, looks like we're going to hit Iran very
• 1:53:25
  Speaker 4: hard again tonight. I think I've seen this movie before,
• 1:53:29
  Speaker 4: my god, but that's what he said. And they are
• 1:53:31
  Speaker 4: set to meet with Zelenski because Russia Ukraine is still
• 1:53:35
  Speaker 4: a raging issue later on this antenoon. So my man,
• 1:53:39
  Speaker 4: President Trump is speaking right now. But the juxtaposition with
• 1:53:43
  Speaker 4: Trump called Turkey a friend and had nice things to
• 1:53:46
  Speaker 4: say about Erduwan. Then you get Bibi Natanyao in Israeli anything.
• 1:53:51
  Speaker 4: But this guy is knee deep at the Muslim brotherhood.
• 1:53:55
  Speaker 4: They want to destroy America. He didn't even say Israel.
• 1:53:58
  Speaker 4: He said they want to destroy America. Interesting juxtaposition. So
• 1:54:03
  Speaker 4: I know how Burgete gabriel feels. She's a rock star,
• 1:54:06
  Speaker 4: been on the show many times, great force on Twitter.
• 1:54:09
  Speaker 4: But let's hear from Brigitte Bush. Good morning, how are you?
• 1:54:13
  Speaker 26: Good morning, my friend. I'm delighted to be with you.
• 1:54:17
  Speaker 4: It's good to have you too. But before you and
• 1:54:19
  Speaker 4: I continue this conversation, I did say elo goes from
• 1:54:23
  Speaker 4: sweet talking woman to sweet talking women because I've got
• 1:54:28
  Speaker 4: a friend of yours on the other line. She wants
• 1:54:31
  Speaker 4: to say hello. Something says to me that she's probably
• 1:54:33
  Speaker 4: gonna agree with everything you and I are about to say. Bashit.
• 1:54:37
  Speaker 4: Say hello to your friend Siggi Flickery.
• 1:54:40
  Speaker 3: Siggy I live.
• 1:54:42
  Speaker 17: I love you, Brigitte.
• 1:54:45
  Speaker 27: I want to say todaha bas Brigitte Gabrielle, you have
• 1:54:49
  Speaker 27: been a savage truth teller from day one, which is
• 1:54:53
  Speaker 27: why the number one radio show. Then my best friend
• 1:54:57
  Speaker 27: Sid Rosenberg loves you. I love you you. Your poor Lebanon,
• 1:55:02
  Speaker 27: that was a Christian nation, was bombarded by Hezbolah. The
• 1:55:08
  Speaker 27: world is now discovering that you cannot negotiate with bed sheets.
• 1:55:13
  Speaker 27: These people are radical Muslim brotherhood losers. And Trump is
• 1:55:19
  Speaker 27: the master of the deal. He understands that. Edgar On,
• 1:55:24
  Speaker 27: however you say his stupid name. He's a little little
• 1:55:27
  Speaker 27: man with a Napoleon complex, very little, little little little man.
• 1:55:31
  Speaker 27: And the people of Turkey are the best people. I
• 1:55:35
  Speaker 27: watch Turkish movies almost every night. I love the people
• 1:55:38
  Speaker 27: of Turkey, but they're suffering, like the people of Lebanon
• 1:55:41
  Speaker 27: and every place, the people of Iran. When you have
• 1:55:45
  Speaker 27: radical Muslims running your country, your country turns to hada,
• 1:55:50
  Speaker 27: it turns to garbage. I'm gonna let brigite talk. I'm
• 1:55:54
  Speaker 27: so happy that you're with my best friend Sid. Keep
• 1:55:58
  Speaker 27: doing what you're doing. We speech who's proms with no fear.
• 1:56:02
  Speaker 27: I love the both of you very much.
• 1:56:04
  Speaker 4: We love you to sing. If we got you back
• 1:56:05
  Speaker 4: on this show too in a couple of days to
• 1:56:07
  Speaker 4: get you your own interview. But I'm so glad you
• 1:56:09
  Speaker 4: were here. Because you're beautiful and smart and we love you, love.
• 1:56:13
  Speaker 26: You, we love you. We're working on peace between Lovanon
• 1:56:16
  Speaker 26: An Israel. Baby, we're gonna make it happen.
• 1:56:18
  Speaker 27: A man men, love of man.
• 1:56:21
  Speaker 26: We said we're gonna have a barbecue.
• 1:56:24
  Speaker 4: Oh well, listen, thank you, thank you, sig You will
• 1:56:26
  Speaker 4: get back to get you back on here in a
• 1:56:27
  Speaker 4: couple of days. That was a nice little surprise. Pajit
• 1:56:30
  Speaker 4: and Siggy back together there. But brage, Okay, let's start
• 1:56:33
  Speaker 4: with that then, Because you are Lebanese, as as is
• 1:56:36
  Speaker 4: my dear friend Joseph Abou, the greatest men's Passion designer ever,
• 1:56:40
  Speaker 4: and of course our US attorney in Washington, d C.
• 1:56:43
  Speaker 4: Janine Piro, also a very proud Lebanese lady. You know,
• 1:56:47
  Speaker 4: we've seen the firing back and forth between Cripola and Israel,
• 1:56:52
  Speaker 4: and look, Pebe has nothing against the Lebanese people, nothing, nothing.
• 1:56:57
  Speaker 4: He just wants to destroy this, this obviously evil group
• 1:57:01
  Speaker 4: of people that is being funded by Iran. Ironically, what
• 1:57:07
  Speaker 4: do you think the future is with Lebanon and Israel?
• 1:57:11
  Speaker 26: Usbalah is evil.
• 1:57:14
  Speaker 19: They are monsters.
• 1:57:16
  Speaker 26: We have to crush and kill the monsters, every single
• 1:57:21
  Speaker 26: one of them. The Lebanese people are sick of them.
• 1:57:25
  Speaker 26: The Christians and Lebanon have more in common with the
• 1:57:28
  Speaker 26: Jewish people and the Israeli people than they have ever
• 1:57:32
  Speaker 26: did with the Husballah members and Lebanon. The problem is
• 1:57:36
  Speaker 26: multiplies like crass. These are Shiites who marry multiple wives,
• 1:57:41
  Speaker 26: four wives at a time, they have multiple children, and
• 1:57:44
  Speaker 26: in twenty five years they multiplied themselves into voting themselves
• 1:57:49
  Speaker 26: into the government. So now they are a part of
• 1:57:51
  Speaker 26: the government in Lebanon. And I tell you you know
• 1:57:56
  Speaker 26: that Christian Lebanese are not happy with this memorandum of
• 1:58:00
  Speaker 26: understanding that America signed with Iran, especially with Iran putting
• 1:58:05
  Speaker 26: Lebanon as a part of this MoU. But Lobanon and
• 1:58:09
  Speaker 26: Israel did a very smart thing. They went around America
• 1:58:12
  Speaker 26: signed a kind of an agreement together on the side.
• 1:58:15
  Speaker 26: So Iran canna say anything because the Lebanese government and
• 1:58:18
  Speaker 26: that Israeli government want to work together against Husb law,
• 1:58:22
  Speaker 26: to press Husba law. And that's where they are. And
• 1:58:25
  Speaker 26: I pray to God that one day Lebanon and Israel
• 1:58:29
  Speaker 26: will have peace together. The terrorists will be crushed and
• 1:58:34
  Speaker 26: we will be able to people of Lebanon and Israel
• 1:58:37
  Speaker 26: will be able to travel to each other's countries and
• 1:58:40
  Speaker 26: vacation and visit and have a great time.
• 1:58:42
  Speaker 4: I look forward to that day too. But Geque Gabriel
• 1:58:44
  Speaker 4: right here, And you know, I love going on Twitter
• 1:58:47
  Speaker 4: and watching the responses from the people that I love
• 1:58:49
  Speaker 4: and respect that I do after a big days like
• 1:58:52
  Speaker 4: yesterday and Trump shaking hands with Urdawan and saying all
• 1:58:56
  Speaker 4: those nice things about Turkey. So I looked up Mark
• 1:58:59
  Speaker 4: Levin on the show next Wednesday. Mark and I are
• 1:59:01
  Speaker 4: very close. I love him. I looked up your account.
• 1:59:04
  Speaker 4: I looked up Laura Loomer. I looked up all the
• 1:59:06
  Speaker 4: people that for the most part agree with me, and
• 1:59:10
  Speaker 4: all of you, all of you agreed again yesterday that
• 1:59:14
  Speaker 4: Turkey is not our friends, not even close. That Erdawan
• 1:59:19
  Speaker 4: is not a good person, not even close. A lot
• 1:59:23
  Speaker 4: of you folk seem to be in horror yesterday as
• 1:59:26
  Speaker 4: all this went down. What do you think all that
• 1:59:28
  Speaker 4: was about?
• 1:59:30
  Speaker 26: Oh, that was basically Trump rewarding Organs for staying out
• 1:59:34
  Speaker 26: of the war with Iran. You know, Trump rewards his
• 1:59:37
  Speaker 26: loyal friends, and that was the reward for organ for
• 1:59:41
  Speaker 26: staying out of the war with Iran. And not coming
• 1:59:44
  Speaker 26: to the aid of Iran. Look, I mean, this is
• 1:59:47
  Speaker 26: the biggest mistake. I did not know what Trump is thinking.
• 1:59:50
  Speaker 26: I mean lifting the sanctions. Even Biden didn't lift the sanctions,
• 1:59:54
  Speaker 26: for God's sake, and it was Trump who basically enforced
• 1:59:57
  Speaker 26: the sanctions back in twenty nineteen, after Turkey bought the
• 2:00:02
  Speaker 26: S four hundred cent missiles intercept system from Russia. But
• 2:00:07
  Speaker 26: but but here's what I found out. You know, because
• 2:00:09
  Speaker 26: I was doing the research of this whole Turkey thing
• 2:00:11
  Speaker 26: when we started, what I did not realize Turkey was
• 2:00:15
  Speaker 26: one of the founding partners in the F thirty five
• 2:00:19
  Speaker 26: Joint Strike fighter program. Turkish companies manufactured hundreds of components
• 2:00:26
  Speaker 26: for the F thirty five back in two thousand and two,
• 2:00:31
  Speaker 26: and Turkey was supposed to get over one hundred or
• 2:00:35
  Speaker 26: one hundred F thirty five gents. Now, remember this was
• 2:00:38
  Speaker 26: back in two thousand and two. We're talking, you know,
• 2:00:41
  Speaker 26: part of a century ago. Since that time, we have
• 2:00:46
  Speaker 26: got we saw the true colors of organ. He's a nationalist, Islamist, communist, socialist.
• 2:00:54
  Speaker 26: He is somebody who hates the West. He is the
• 2:00:56
  Speaker 26: guy that when silicide bombers, whether our Isis were blowing
• 2:01:01
  Speaker 26: themselves up, attacking America, blowing themselves up in America, and
• 2:01:06
  Speaker 26: our leaders were talking about oh no, no, no, these
• 2:01:08
  Speaker 26: are the radical islam Is doing that. Ortigon came straight
• 2:01:11
  Speaker 26: out and he says, don't insult Islam.
• 2:01:14
  Speaker 19: There is no.
• 2:01:14
  Speaker 26: Radical Islam or moderate Islam.
• 2:01:16
  Speaker 17: There's only one.
• 2:01:17
  Speaker 4: Yeah, And that reminds me like when Democrats tell me, no, no, no,
• 2:01:21
  Speaker 4: those are the progressives, those are the dsay, they're not us.
• 2:01:25
  Speaker 4: You're all the same. And you're right about Mattio. The
• 2:01:27
  Speaker 4: way you described Rdowan is exactly the way I describe
• 2:01:31
  Speaker 4: our mayor mom Donnie here in New York City. They
• 2:01:34
  Speaker 4: seem to be the same guy. And you know that.
• 2:01:37
  Speaker 4: Last August on this show, Brigeet I had the Secretary
• 2:01:41
  Speaker 4: of State on, Marco Rubio. I love him, you know
• 2:01:43
  Speaker 4: the floor. We have a Florida connection dating back to
• 2:01:45
  Speaker 4: twenty ten when he first won his very first Senate race,
• 2:01:48
  Speaker 4: and he actually gives me credit in getting that very
• 2:01:51
  Speaker 4: first win, going back sixteen years ago. But I talked
• 2:01:55
  Speaker 4: them specifically about care and the Muslim brotherhood. I said, Marco,
• 2:02:00
  Speaker 4: you must, you must, this Trump administration must designate both
• 2:02:06
  Speaker 4: the Muslim Brotherhood and Care as terrorists, and Care tries
• 2:02:10
  Speaker 4: to get me buyed every weekday some letters to my boss.
• 2:02:13
  Speaker 4: I hope they're listening now, you bunch of terrorists. They
• 2:02:16
  Speaker 4: need to designate Muslim Brotherhood and Care as terrorist organizations.
• 2:02:21
  Speaker 4: We've danced around it. I heard them say they may
• 2:02:23
  Speaker 4: do it with the Muslim Brotherhood but exclude Turkey and Cutter,
• 2:02:28
  Speaker 4: which is a waste of time at that point, What
• 2:02:30
  Speaker 4: are your thoughts on all.
• 2:02:31
  Speaker 26: That concerns exactly? I mean, Turkey is the biggest protector
• 2:02:35
  Speaker 26: and sponsor of the Muslim brotherhoods, and to think that
• 2:02:38
  Speaker 26: Turkey is the second largest military after the United States
• 2:02:42
  Speaker 26: and the NATO Alliance is mind boggling. It is so scary.
• 2:02:47
  Speaker 26: We are dealing with monsters who cover up for each other,
• 2:02:50
  Speaker 26: who hate Israel, who hate the West, who are willing
• 2:02:53
  Speaker 26: to lie. As a matter of fact, it is a
• 2:02:56
  Speaker 26: part of their faith. It's a part of the Islamic
• 2:02:59
  Speaker 26: faith to lie. It's called tatiya or kids men in Arabic,
• 2:03:03
  Speaker 26: where basically you're allowed to say any lie in order
• 2:03:07
  Speaker 26: to advance Islam and your pons. So knowing that Erdigon
• 2:03:10
  Speaker 26: is an Islam, it's knowing that he is somebody who
• 2:03:13
  Speaker 26: not only supports a Muslim Brotherhood, covers up for the
• 2:03:16
  Speaker 26: Muslim Brotherhood, props up the Muslim Brotherhood. We cannot dance
• 2:03:20
  Speaker 26: around the issue. We need to understand that Turkey is
• 2:03:23
  Speaker 26: not an ally. Turkey is lying to President Trump to
• 2:03:27
  Speaker 26: his face. Turkey is still trying to pass time until
• 2:03:30
  Speaker 26: Trump is out of office. That's all Ergon is doing.
• 2:03:33
  Speaker 26: He's trying to get whatever he wants to get. Everybody
• 2:03:36
  Speaker 26: knows Trump will be out of office in two years.
• 2:03:38
  Speaker 26: We're not guaranteed a Republican in office. I mean, God knows.
• 2:03:42
  Speaker 26: I mean, we may end up with you know, Gavin
• 2:03:44
  Speaker 26: Musam as president. Can you imagine what that would do.
• 2:03:49
  Speaker 26: But that's why they have to take action, and that's
• 2:03:52
  Speaker 26: why we're pressuring. You know, my Organization Act for America
• 2:03:56
  Speaker 26: has over twenty eight million emails and phone calls to
• 2:04:00
  Speaker 26: Congress and the White House, bombarding them to designate the
• 2:04:03
  Speaker 26: Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist organization. Not just this little
• 2:04:07
  Speaker 26: symbolic designation. We're talking about sweeping designation that will cover
• 2:04:13
  Speaker 26: anywhere in the world. We have got to designate them
• 2:04:16
  Speaker 26: as a terrorist organization.
• 2:04:18
  Speaker 4: What does ACT is it Act Act America.
• 2:04:22
  Speaker 26: It's ACT for America and what is that? Are America
• 2:04:28
  Speaker 26: that We are the largest grassroots national security organization in
• 2:04:32
  Speaker 26: the US. We have passed three hundred bills at the
• 2:04:35
  Speaker 26: federal level and the state level. Actually, just last week
• 2:04:39
  Speaker 26: I said I was in Congress, we introduced a new
• 2:04:42
  Speaker 26: bill preserving our Constitution Act of twenty twenty six, which
• 2:04:46
  Speaker 26: basically stops any serea courts from operating in the United States.
• 2:04:51
  Speaker 26: Go to our website take action on that Act Now campaign.
• 2:04:55
  Speaker 26: We have campaign with emails prepared to your elected officials.
• 2:04:59

• 2:05:12
  Speaker 26: take action on that campaign and share it with everyone
• 2:05:15
  Speaker 26: you know.
• 2:05:16
  Speaker 4: Sharia law is popping up all over America. And I
• 2:05:19
  Speaker 4: was told last week said take it easy. The DSA.
• 2:05:23
  Speaker 4: These radicals still represent a very small portion of the
• 2:05:29
  Speaker 4: Democrat Party. The Democrats, Yeah, they've kind of lost it.
• 2:05:33
  Speaker 4: They're certainly ant isomitic, but this group represents a very
• 2:05:37
  Speaker 4: small group. And I'm not sure I believe that. And
• 2:05:41
  Speaker 4: if they are a small group. Now they are certainly
• 2:05:44
  Speaker 4: multiplying exponentially. Nine already in New York. New Jersey's getting
• 2:05:49
  Speaker 4: wins for these people all the time. We've seen it
• 2:05:52
  Speaker 4: in other spots, Minnesota, Michigan, other states around this country.
• 2:05:57
  Speaker 4: Do you believe that they are small in number or
• 2:05:59
  Speaker 4: do you believe I guess more dangerously they may be,
• 2:06:03
  Speaker 4: but they're growing way too fast.
• 2:06:06
  Speaker 26: They are very dangerous. And here's what I believe, and
• 2:06:10
  Speaker 26: actually I use this quote on my website. Two percent
• 2:06:15
  Speaker 26: of the passionate will always overrule the ninety eight percent indifferent.
• 2:06:21
  Speaker 26: So I don't care if they are two percent. They
• 2:06:25
  Speaker 26: are the ones who are driving the agenda right now
• 2:06:28
  Speaker 26: and pressuring the entire Democratic Party in the United States.
• 2:06:32
  Speaker 26: I don't care how many millions they are. It's that
• 2:06:35
  Speaker 26: one hundred percent right now who is driving the bus
• 2:06:38
  Speaker 26: and driving the agenda. And look at their sweeping success nationwide,
• 2:06:42
  Speaker 26: even Schumer, even people who are leaders who are like
• 2:06:45
  Speaker 26: like what I call ancient furniture on Capitol Hill. You know,
• 2:06:49
  Speaker 26: the people who's been there forever. I mean, they are
• 2:06:52
  Speaker 26: like ancient furniture. They're like mommy. They are the ones
• 2:06:56
  Speaker 26: right now who have lost the influence compared to Mamdani,
• 2:06:59
  Speaker 26: compared to all these a communist. You know, I like
• 2:07:02
  Speaker 26: presidents stop calling them communists because we basically skip the
• 2:07:05
  Speaker 26: socialist pays and when straight into communism. That's exactly who
• 2:07:09
  Speaker 26: we are dealing with. And that's exactly why they need
• 2:07:12
  Speaker 26: to be stopped. We need to organize at the local level.
• 2:07:15
  Speaker 26: We need to come together. We need to work our
• 2:07:18
  Speaker 26: communities and understand who we are fighting. We are fighting
• 2:07:23
  Speaker 26: the socialists, communists trying to take over our country. I

• 2:07:50
  Speaker 26: The extremist left are organized, they're mobilized, they are funded,
• 2:07:55
  Speaker 26: they are working together. They are driven by passion. We
• 2:07:58
  Speaker 26: need to manage fashion passion, not just education. Here's the problem.
• 2:08:02
  Speaker 26: What our side said. Our side believes, Oh, we need
• 2:08:05
  Speaker 26: to educate more. We need to educate more. We need
• 2:08:08
  Speaker 26: to inform people more. The less doesn't need to educate
• 2:08:11
  Speaker 26: and informs. They work like an army. They are like
• 2:08:14
  Speaker 26: a blind, unthinking army. They go and do and act
• 2:08:18
  Speaker 26: and work. They could care less about understanding the sources
• 2:08:22
  Speaker 26: of socialism and communism. We need to learn the history. No,
• 2:08:25
  Speaker 26: they don't need to learn the history of communism. They
• 2:08:28
  Speaker 26: just feel I'm a socialist. I'm a communist. I don't
• 2:08:30
  Speaker 26: know what socialism and communism are. But I'm gonna get
• 2:08:34
  Speaker 26: free housing. I'm gonna get free guess the government's gonna
• 2:08:37
  Speaker 26: take care of me. I'm getting a free cell phone,
• 2:08:39
  Speaker 26: free rent, free this, free that. And that's why I'm
• 2:08:42
  Speaker 26: a socialist. And that's why I'm voting for Mamdani or
• 2:08:45
  Speaker 26: anybody else. They don't think, they don't need to know information.
• 2:08:48
  Speaker 26: They're activated and mobilized. We need to not only be educated.
• 2:08:53
  Speaker 26: Our side is very educated. We need to mobilize and
• 2:08:57
  Speaker 26: act in order to save our country. Time for speaking
• 2:09:01
  Speaker 26: is over. It's time for action.

• 2:09:51
  Speaker 4: You may be upset with what's going on in Turkey.
• 2:09:54
  Speaker 4: I am you know. You may have your questions about Iran.
• 2:09:57
  Speaker 4: I certainly have been critical about Israel. B be all
• 2:10:01
  Speaker 4: of it, but don't confuse the issue. There is no
• 2:10:05
  Speaker 4: person in the world I want in that seat more
• 2:10:10
  Speaker 4: than Trump. And when it's over in two plus years,
• 2:10:14
  Speaker 4: i'lbe at the very front of the line crying with
• 2:10:16
  Speaker 4: the rest of you, at the very front of the line.
• 2:10:19
  Speaker 4: I still love them. As I've said, only a billion
• 2:10:23
  Speaker 4: times on this show. I think Bench Lombardy is the
• 2:10:27
  Speaker 4: best football coach ever. He don't win every game. Pat
• 2:10:30
  Speaker 4: Riley may be the best basketball coach ever. You don't
• 2:10:33
  Speaker 4: win every game. Okay, So I've got my questions sometimes
• 2:10:37
  Speaker 4: I've got my criticisms, but I will say this. You
• 2:10:41
  Speaker 4: put Trump in one of these situations with other world leaders,
• 2:10:47
  Speaker 4: and I think you'd agree with this. Not whether it's NATO, Turkey,
• 2:10:52
  Speaker 4: any of these you know, Davos, Switzerland, the G Seven,
• 2:10:56
  Speaker 4: any of these different conferences with leaders from around the world,
• 2:11:03
  Speaker 4: and I'm sorry, He's got it. He's a boss. He
• 2:11:07
  Speaker 4: just is. Like when I would watch Joe Biden, I
• 2:11:10
  Speaker 4: was embarrassed. I really was. I was embarrassed. There he
• 2:11:15
  Speaker 4: is your your grandfather, your broken down grandfather, something from dementia.
• 2:11:21
  Speaker 4: He looked ridiculous, he sounded ridiculous, he was lost. There
• 2:11:26
  Speaker 4: was nothing to be proud of. Nothing. It was embarrassing.
• 2:11:29
  Speaker 4: You want to really hope he got through the day
• 2:11:31
  Speaker 4: without falling off a stage or walking the wrong way.
• 2:11:34
  Speaker 4: That was a win for Joe Biden. Trump. He is
• 2:11:38
  Speaker 4: the effing boss. Is that not true or no?
• 2:11:42
  Speaker 20: I go back to I think it was right after
• 2:11:44
  Speaker 20: he won the White House first time around, and I
• 2:11:46
  Speaker 20: think it was the G seven something made of beIN
• 2:11:48
  Speaker 20: NATO and they were doing like a group picture, and
• 2:11:51
  Speaker 20: he shoved his way to the very front.
• 2:11:53
  Speaker 18: Do you remember that, those leaders and get out of
• 2:11:56
  Speaker 18: my way.
• 2:11:56
  Speaker 20: Yeah, and I thought, finally, finally, somebody who got him.
• 2:11:59
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean all these pusse'ss, European leaders, Macron and O.
• 2:12:04
  Speaker 4: Stormer's gone now, but all these other people, even Putin.
• 2:12:08
  Speaker 4: Putin looks at President Trump like he's a man, you know. Now, Zelenski,
• 2:12:15
  Speaker 4: he's a little bitchy. You know, he love an attitude
• 2:12:17
  Speaker 4: once in a while, but you know, he does get
• 2:12:20
  Speaker 4: double teamed and triple team then they beat his assin.
• 2:12:23
  Speaker 4: And that's coming up later on today. We'll see if
• 2:12:26
  Speaker 4: you got Trump sitting there and Rubio and Besant and Zelenski.
• 2:12:31
  Speaker 4: But the overwhelming majority of these world leaders they look
• 2:12:35
  Speaker 4: small next to Trump. And I don't mean physically, although
• 2:12:38
  Speaker 4: he's a very big man physically as well. The president,
• 2:12:41
  Speaker 4: they just look small. That's my comment. No, I agree,
• 2:12:46
  Speaker 4: you do. Okay, good, We'll take a break when we
• 2:12:48
  Speaker 4: get back. One of the greatest congressmen in the history
• 2:12:51
  Speaker 4: of our government and the good thing is he was ours.
• 2:12:55
  Speaker 4: He still is making a big deal every day out
• 2:12:57
  Speaker 4: on Long Island, also Homeland Secure and a great radio
• 2:13:01
  Speaker 4: guest every Wednesday on this show.
• 2:13:04
  Speaker 22: Sid and Friends in the morning on the Red Apple
• 2:13:07
  Speaker 22: podcast network.
• 2:13:09
  Speaker 4: We didn't want to talk to the Great Peter King
• 2:13:11
  Speaker 4: a lot to talk about beating. I want to start,
• 2:13:14
  Speaker 4: not with Turkey just yet, or even Iran. I want
• 2:13:18
  Speaker 4: to start with Russia Ukraine because it looks like Putin
• 2:13:23
  Speaker 4: although you know, you know he's gonna sit down with
• 2:13:26
  Speaker 4: Lenski today President Trump and he says, I'm wanting to
• 2:13:28
  Speaker 4: go to Ukraine. It looks like Putin isn't letting up,
• 2:13:32
  Speaker 4: not even a little. I mean, he's attacked Kiev now,
• 2:13:35
  Speaker 4: the you know, the capital twice in the last six days.
• 2:13:40
  Speaker 4: So what really is going on with Ukraine?
• 2:13:43
  Speaker 23: Russia said, Ay, what's going on now? Has been gone
• 2:13:47
  Speaker 23: on all along. Putin wants to take over Ukraine. This
• 2:13:50
  Speaker 23: is his first step in moving toward Europe. He's already
• 2:13:53
  Speaker 23: making friends to Portland, to Lavia and Estonia and just
• 2:13:57
  Speaker 23: sends a bad signal around the world if we don't
• 2:13:59
  Speaker 23: help Zelenski and Europe. Europe is doing a good job.
• 2:14:03
  Speaker 23: Europe is put in twice as much support to Ukraine
• 2:14:05
  Speaker 23: as we have, and we're supposed to be the leader
• 2:14:07
  Speaker 23: of the free world. So I think that and Putin
• 2:14:10
  Speaker 23: has also made fools of us, so he gets red
• 2:14:12
  Speaker 23: corvid treatment, President goes fall asking to meet him, and
• 2:14:15
  Speaker 23: then Putin never ever follows form what he's supposed to do.
• 2:14:18
  Speaker 23: I think Putin's going to play us as long as
• 2:14:20
  Speaker 23: he can. And I think it's important that the President
• 2:14:22
  Speaker 23: did say today we're going to somehow provide more guess
• 2:14:28
  Speaker 23: anti missile defenses patriot defenses to Ukraine. Well, we allow
• 2:14:32
  Speaker 23: them to perfect them on their own. If that goes ahead,
• 2:14:36
  Speaker 23: that's going to be a step. In the meantime, a
• 2:14:37
  Speaker 23: lot of people are being killed. And when the President
• 2:14:40
  Speaker 23: says so many people are being killed, and he says
• 2:14:42
  Speaker 23: like two kids in school, yeard no, I mean Solinski
• 2:14:45
  Speaker 23: is basically, whether he's perfect or not, he's fighting one
• 2:14:48
  Speaker 23: of the most courageous fights ever. But he was offered
• 2:14:51
  Speaker 23: free passage out of the country four and a half
• 2:14:53
  Speaker 23: years ago. He stayed there. And right now Russia is
• 2:14:56
  Speaker 23: losing the war. They've lost more than twice as many
• 2:14:59
  Speaker 23: people as Ukraine has, and they're also now really suffering
• 2:15:04
  Speaker 23: losses in Crimea. So again though, but Ukraine can't do
• 2:15:07
  Speaker 23: this forever. And the whole idea though, is starting eighty
• 2:15:10
  Speaker 23: years ago dealing with Grocia, is Russia could conquer any
• 2:15:13
  Speaker 23: one country if you let them do it long enough.
• 2:15:15
  Speaker 23: And that's why you have United alliances against them, and
• 2:15:19
  Speaker 23: why I think it's important for your keep Joans doing
• 2:15:23
  Speaker 23: in the United States to get more involved in providing
• 2:15:25
  Speaker 23: weapons to Ukraine, at least defensive weapons of nothing else.
• 2:15:29
  Speaker 4: Yeah, because there is a billing out there that we're
• 2:15:32
  Speaker 4: going to be more I don't want to say in
• 2:15:36
  Speaker 4: tow in line with Russia, but if we do end
• 2:15:39
  Speaker 4: this war, it's because we're going to be better to
• 2:15:42
  Speaker 4: Russia than Ukraine. Can you see that?
• 2:15:45
  Speaker 23: Yeah? I would hope that's not true. I mean, to me,
• 2:15:47
  Speaker 23: what's important here is that Russia is the aggressia. Russia
• 2:15:51
  Speaker 23: is losing the war. They bring in troops from Africa
• 2:15:54
  Speaker 23: and North Korea to fight this battle, and that's how
• 2:15:57
  Speaker 23: bad they are at how many they get hit, but
• 2:15:59
  Speaker 23: they again do it the numbers. So if this goes
• 2:16:01
  Speaker 23: on forever, Russia ultimately win. They can wear down Ukraine
• 2:16:05
  Speaker 23: and I think the President and they're talking about a deal.
• 2:16:07
  Speaker 23: This is not real estate. Get Wikkop out of there,
• 2:16:09
  Speaker 23: send him home. This is not a real deal we're
• 2:16:12
  Speaker 23: talking about We're talking about battle really for civilization here
• 2:16:15
  Speaker 23: and Russia. This isn't like the President always talks about
• 2:16:18
  Speaker 23: Armenia and Azimbi Jahn, how he helped settle out. That
• 2:16:21
  Speaker 23: was a border skirmish going on for thirty years. There
• 2:16:24
  Speaker 23: was no great loss of life, and that was just
• 2:16:26
  Speaker 23: you know, where do you draw the line between your
• 2:16:28
  Speaker 23: two countries. But with Russia and Ukraine, Russia wants to
• 2:16:31
  Speaker 23: take Ukraine over. That's what it comes down to, as
• 2:16:33
  Speaker 23: simple as that Ukraine is a separate culture, a separate country.
• 2:16:36
  Speaker 23: We made commitments to them in the nineteen nineties, they
• 2:16:39
  Speaker 23: gave up their nuclear weapons and a return for that
• 2:16:41
  Speaker 23: from a Plat to the United States and Europe that
• 2:16:43
  Speaker 23: we would stand with them if they were invaded. And
• 2:16:46
  Speaker 23: so far we are not living up to our end
• 2:16:48
  Speaker 23: of us.
• 2:16:49
  Speaker 4: You know, you talk about rolling out the red carpet
• 2:16:51
  Speaker 4: for Putin, It looks to me like even though we
• 2:16:53
  Speaker 4: are the visitors in Turkey, it looks like President Trump
• 2:16:57
  Speaker 4: and America is rolling out the red carpet for Ardawe.
• 2:17:01
  Speaker 4: You've heard all my guests today, you've heard the tweets
• 2:17:04
  Speaker 4: are wet on the air. What are your thoughts about that.
• 2:17:06
  Speaker 23: I think Erwin is a terrible person, and it seems
• 2:17:09
  Speaker 23: I mean, the President says good things about Putin. Now
• 2:17:11
  Speaker 23: he's just one as a friend. This guy is vicious.
• 2:17:14
  Speaker 23: He's he's a brutal thug, and it's only what he
• 2:17:17
  Speaker 23: does in his own country. But again, he has threatened
• 2:17:19
  Speaker 23: to destroy Israel. Israel is our closest ally in the
• 2:17:22
  Speaker 23: Middle East, maybe our closest ally around the world. He
• 2:17:25
  Speaker 23: keeps this up. I don't see what ear one has
• 2:17:28
  Speaker 23: done to earn our trust at all. He's been against
• 2:17:31
  Speaker 23: us for years and again, just what he's done to
• 2:17:33
  Speaker 23: his people. Now the NBA basketball player came and go
• 2:17:36
  Speaker 23: back and came and travel to Europe because there's warrants
• 2:17:39
  Speaker 23: out for him from Turkey. I mean, this is a
• 2:17:42
  Speaker 23: bad guy. And it's one thing if the President wants
• 2:17:44
  Speaker 23: to say, listen, we made alliances with Stalin during World
• 2:17:47
  Speaker 23: War Two. You can do things out of necessity, but
• 2:17:50
  Speaker 23: don't sit there and say what a good man he is,
• 2:17:52
  Speaker 23: what a good friend he is, How I trust him,
• 2:17:54
  Speaker 23: how I love him, all that stuff, the same way
• 2:17:56
  Speaker 23: he talks about she and uh Putin. I mean, and
• 2:18:00
  Speaker 23: he's a dictating mom Donnie, I'm a dammy. It's meant
• 2:18:04
  Speaker 23: the worst of all.
• 2:18:04
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 2:18:05
  Speaker 23: In the meantime, he's talking about attacking Denmark, which has
• 2:18:08
  Speaker 23: been a great isle and they had a higher picapita
• 2:18:10
  Speaker 23: casually rate in Afghanistan than we did. And that wasn't
• 2:18:13
  Speaker 23: their war, that was our war. They got involved. I
• 2:18:16
  Speaker 23: was talking about taking Greenland from them when that could
• 2:18:18
  Speaker 23: be easily worked out. So it's that type of heavy
• 2:18:21
  Speaker 23: handed talk against our allies and love the ghost to
• 2:18:24
  Speaker 23: our enemies.
• 2:18:25
  Speaker 4: It is odd, you know. That was part of the
• 2:18:27
  Speaker 4: reason why I think he was successful the first time
• 2:18:29
  Speaker 4: around was that he would do that. And it's not
• 2:18:32
  Speaker 4: because he liked them, but clearly President Trump believes that
• 2:18:37
  Speaker 4: you keep your enemies closer, right, But in the first term,
• 2:18:41
  Speaker 4: he would do that. He would, you know, every once
• 2:18:44
  Speaker 4: in a while, says something nice, but then he come
• 2:18:46
  Speaker 4: back and punch him in the base, whether it was
• 2:18:48
  Speaker 4: a little rocketman in North Korea or Putin or Gee.
• 2:18:52
  Speaker 4: This time, it seems like he doesn't get to that
• 2:18:56
  Speaker 4: point where he gets angry with people that are clearly
• 2:19:01
  Speaker 4: our enemies, they become our friends because they literally rolled
• 2:19:05
  Speaker 4: out a red carpet once the plane lands. So I
• 2:19:08
  Speaker 4: know he's used to doing this Trump and he's had success, right,
• 2:19:12
  Speaker 4: he makes his enemies closer, they believe that it's not
• 2:19:15
  Speaker 4: all that bad, and he gets stuff done. But maybe,
• 2:19:19
  Speaker 4: just maybe it's a bit much this time around.
• 2:19:22
  Speaker 23: Yeah, I think it is. On the first term, he
• 2:19:23
  Speaker 23: would say good things about Putin, but then the fact
• 2:19:27
  Speaker 23: is we destroyed Russia's troops in Syria. You know, the
• 2:19:30
  Speaker 23: troops are Famlid with Russia, they're in Syria. We destroyed them,
• 2:19:35
  Speaker 23: wipe them out, and that was done quietly but effectively.
• 2:19:38
  Speaker 23: So I mean he was able to say one thing
• 2:19:39
  Speaker 23: and do another. This time he's saying one thing, keeps
• 2:19:42
  Speaker 23: doing it. I mean, how many times is he going
• 2:19:44
  Speaker 23: to say he had a good telephone conversation with Putin
• 2:19:47
  Speaker 23: and then it turns out that he goes nowhere. Putin
• 2:19:49
  Speaker 23: just to me, is making fools out of us all.
• 2:19:51
  Speaker 4: The time, not just Puttin. How many times has he
• 2:19:53
  Speaker 4: told us that in the last couple of months that
• 2:19:55
  Speaker 4: he's had good conversations with people in Iran and Cushner
• 2:19:59
  Speaker 4: and with up had a good meeting last week and JD.
• 2:20:02
  Speaker 4: Bands had to you know, how to you know, the
• 2:20:05
  Speaker 4: phone call progressed and you know, and you can actually
• 2:20:09
  Speaker 4: work with these people, unlike the first two or three regimes.
• 2:20:12
  Speaker 4: And it comes out today and says, now the scum,
• 2:20:14
  Speaker 4: they're losers, their low lives, can't work with them. I mean,
• 2:20:17
  Speaker 4: you keep doing this back and forth for months now,
• 2:20:21
  Speaker 4: and you know you got the American people there, their
• 2:20:24
  Speaker 4: heads on a swivel. What's the real story.
• 2:20:28
  Speaker 23: Yes, he had the American people to get them back
• 2:20:30
  Speaker 23: on his side, and he should because I totally support
• 2:20:33
  Speaker 23: what he's trying to do in Iran me too. You can't.
• 2:20:35
  Speaker 23: You can't be saying you did last week? Did you
• 2:20:37
  Speaker 23: good people?
• 2:20:38
  Speaker 7: Now?
• 2:20:38
  Speaker 23: We have good people we can work with in Iran?
• 2:20:40
  Speaker 23: These are the same low lives over there all along,
• 2:20:42
  Speaker 23: maybe just a different generation, but they're the same type,
• 2:20:45
  Speaker 23: says that evil ideal lives who are out to destroy
• 2:20:48
  Speaker 23: the United States and Western civilization. It is your first
• 2:20:51
  Speaker 23: and all the rest of us after that. And that's
• 2:20:53
  Speaker 23: why I get the fact that the president even like
• 2:20:57
  Speaker 23: the Wayne Tungs Burnett Yahoo, I'm the boss that Yaho
• 2:20:59
  Speaker 23: has to know that. You don't talk that way about
• 2:21:01
  Speaker 23: an ally. You say, we're in this together. Whatever difference
• 2:21:04
  Speaker 23: is we have, we're going to work out because we
• 2:21:05
  Speaker 23: have a common enemy. Don't attack your allies, don't attack
• 2:21:09
  Speaker 23: your friends. And then say, well, we say that basically
• 2:21:11
  Speaker 23: he's against that Yahoo that he's saying that the new
• 2:21:14
  Speaker 23: leaders and ran the good people now today says this
• 2:21:17
  Speaker 23: come and also we can't be saying that how we've
• 2:21:19
  Speaker 23: won the war. You know, the fact is so long
• 2:21:22
  Speaker 23: as Iran has the right to control the straits of
• 2:21:25
  Speaker 23: the moves and basically that great deal of wit Copp
• 2:21:27
  Speaker 23: and those guys worked out. You can interpret the language
• 2:21:30
  Speaker 23: in a way that I Ran knew what they were doing.
• 2:21:33
  Speaker 23: It was double meeting and all the language right the
• 2:21:37
  Speaker 23: strained for a moves they're interpreting to say they can
• 2:21:39
  Speaker 23: control them. So we set ourselves up for that. We
• 2:21:42
  Speaker 23: can't do any You can't deal with these people, and
• 2:21:45
  Speaker 23: we have to. I don't know why we didn't, and
• 2:21:47
  Speaker 23: I'm not trying to be one day morning quarterback, but
• 2:21:49
  Speaker 23: going into this, why we didn't have arrangements that we
• 2:21:52
  Speaker 23: could control the straits of a moves Because that's the
• 2:21:54
  Speaker 23: only weapon they have. We can say anyway, all their
• 2:21:57
  Speaker 23: weapons all together. But so long as they can control
• 2:21:59
  Speaker 23: the stated for moves, they control the world economy, and
• 2:22:02
  Speaker 23: that gives them basically bullets the head guns the heads
• 2:22:06
  Speaker 23: of everybody. So we have to we have to get
• 2:22:09
  Speaker 23: that straight out. And again with NATO can drive you crazy.
• 2:22:13
  Speaker 23: The fact is that we had worked with them in
• 2:22:14
  Speaker 23: the beginning, we would have had their mind sweepers. They
• 2:22:16
  Speaker 23: have better mind sweeping Luigo and that could have been there.
• 2:22:20
  Speaker 23: So instead of attacking Maloney in Italy and everything work
• 2:22:23
  Speaker 23: good out behind the scenes. But use them. That's what
• 2:22:26
  Speaker 23: we've done in the past. And I was there with
• 2:22:28
  Speaker 23: Bill Clinton. We had trouble with NATO all the time.
• 2:22:30
  Speaker 23: Bush had trouble, but you're working a Reagan had a
• 2:22:32
  Speaker 23: lot of trouble with Margaret Thatcher. But somehow you find
• 2:22:35
  Speaker 23: a way to work it. Use them, don't just and
• 2:22:38
  Speaker 23: help them and then say good things about earlier.
• 2:22:40
  Speaker 4: On excellent job, Pete. That's why you're here, man. You're great,
• 2:22:43
  Speaker 4: and you got all those great references you could date
• 2:22:45
  Speaker 4: back to all those presidents who served in Congress for
• 2:22:48
