  Speaker 1: Sid and Friends in the Morning.
• 0:03
  Speaker 2: Entertaining and informative.
• 0:05
  Speaker 3: On the Red Apple Podcast Network.
• 0:09
  Speaker 4: Congratulations especially to Sid Rosenberg on his induction to the
• 0:14
  Speaker 4: New York State Broadcasters Hall of Fame. I can't believe
• 0:18
  Speaker 4: he didn't make it years ago. Today, Sid forever joins
• 0:21
  Speaker 4: a roll call of some of the greatest legends in
• 0:25
  Speaker 4: the history of New York broadcasting and talk radio. the
• 0:28
  Speaker 4: best in the business, and he's the best in the business.
• 0:31
  Speaker 4: Over many years, Sid has distinguished himself as one of
• 0:34
  Speaker 4: the most authentic and recognizable voices in American airwaves, and
• 0:39
  Speaker 4: he's built a smart, loyal, gigantic audience, and I happen
• 0:43
  Speaker 4: to be one of those people in the audience, and
• 0:46
  Speaker 4: I had for a long time, long before I became president.
• 0:50
  Speaker 5: Another thing I think that is very unexpected is this
• 0:53
  Speaker 5: relationship you have with President Trump, which seems to be...
• 0:57
  Speaker 5: A pretty friendly relationship. Did you guys hit it off immediately?
• 1:03
  Speaker 5: Or is it something that you really went into thinking, like, okay,
• 1:10
  Speaker 5: I need to have a relationship with the President of.
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: The United States.
• 1:13
  Speaker 5: And I think the best way to.
• 1:15
  Speaker 6: Do it is to charm him.
• 1:16
  Speaker 7: How did you do that?
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: And can you help me?
• 1:18
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 1:22
  Speaker 9: Sorry, brother.
• 1:26
  Speaker 5: Maybe if I move here, you'll take it more seriously.
• 1:31
  Speaker 9: But I think, look, the president and I have many disagreements.
• 1:34
  Speaker 9: One thing we do agree on is the city, how
• 1:37
  Speaker 9: much we love the city. And so from that first
• 1:39
  Speaker 9: meeting in November of last year, I was just thinking
• 1:41
  Speaker 9: of how can we make this meeting not about us,
• 1:44
  Speaker 9: but about New Yorkers? How can we spend that time
• 1:47
  Speaker 9: talking about the things that could make life in the
• 1:49
  Speaker 9: city that little bit easier? And that's what it's been,
• 1:51
  Speaker 9: whether we've met at the White House or at Gracie Manchin.
• 1:53
  Speaker 5: We obviously disagree with him when it comes to locking
• 1:57
  Speaker 5: out certain members of the press. And then you even
• 1:59
  Speaker 5: went so far as to specifically call on CNN, MSNOW
• 2:03
  Speaker 5: and Politico right next to him. And it doesn't bother him.
• 2:10
  Speaker 5: He just seems to like you, and that is it.
• 2:12
  Speaker 5: And that's all that seems.
• 2:14
  Speaker 6: To matter, I guess.
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: What are you guys talking?
• 2:16
  Speaker 7: What's the serious stuff that you're talking? Like, what do
• 2:19
  Speaker 7: you need from him?
• 2:20
  Speaker 9: So the number one thing that we've been speaking about
• 2:24
  Speaker 9: recently has been Sunnyside Yard, which is this idea for
• 2:27
  Speaker 9: decades of building a platform over a rail yard and
• 2:31
  Speaker 9: then building 12,000 homes. And so in that moment, you know,
• 2:34
  Speaker 9: that you zoomed in on, I'm just thinking about 12,000 homes, 30,000 jobs,
• 2:39
  Speaker 9: largest housing development since.
• 2:45
  Speaker 6: The early 1970s.
• 2:47
  Speaker 5: Have you considered calling it Trumpy side yard?
• 2:51
  Speaker 7: I haven't.
• 2:52
  Speaker 6: You have not.
• 2:52
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 2:52
  Speaker 5: Might be some new text with the president I've read.
• 2:56
  Speaker 9: From time to time, we're in communication. And it's about
• 2:59
  Speaker 9: Sunnyside Yard. It's about how do we deliver for the city.
• 3:03
  Speaker 9: One of the other things the president mentioned that we
• 3:04
  Speaker 9: spoke about was that I care very deeply about Haitian
• 3:08
  Speaker 9: New Yorkers. And they've had their protected status ended. And
• 3:16
  Speaker 9: I really believe that we need to do whatever we
• 3:18
  Speaker 9: can to make sure that they have stability. They're a
• 3:20
  Speaker 9: part of the fabric of the city.
• 3:21
  Speaker 7: And so I'm looking forward to that.
• 3:23
  Speaker 6: What would you on that?
• 3:26
  Speaker 9: It's an ongoing conversation, but it's one that whenever there's
• 3:29
  Speaker 9: a chance to make the case for people of New York,
• 3:31
  Speaker 9: I'm going to make it.
• 3:34
  Speaker 5: And when you text him about Sunnyside, are you sure
• 3:37
  Speaker 5: he doesn't think you're texting him about eggs?
• 3:41
  Speaker 7: I'm pretty sure.
• 3:42
  Speaker 5: Does he text back right away, or does he play.
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: A cool and wait with you?
• 3:46
  Speaker 10: No.
• 3:48
  Speaker 9: We both have busy schedules.
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: Does he.
• 3:52
  Speaker 11: Is he.
• 3:52
  Speaker 5: Texting back in certain words or in all caps, like
• 3:55
  Speaker 5: the way he posts, or are they in a normal
• 3:58
  Speaker 5: sentence case?
• 3:59
  Speaker 9: Pretty standard.
• 3:59
  Speaker 7: Normal sentence case.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 4:01
  Speaker 6: You really have broken through with him.
• 4:05
  Speaker 7: We might. I mean, listen, you seem to be doing
• 4:06
  Speaker 7: a great job in New York.
• 4:07
  Speaker 5: I need you to move to Washington and just hang
• 4:09
  Speaker 5: out at the.
• 4:09
  Speaker 6: Oval Office all day.
• 4:11
  Speaker 5: Like, if you texted him a selfie of us right now.
• 4:24
  Speaker 9: Jimmy, I love you, but I love housing more.
• 4:28
  Speaker 7: Okay.
• 4:32
  Speaker 13: Both of you have said you support Israel, but there's
• 4:35
  Speaker 13: growing disagreement over U.S. military aid. Would you support continuing
• 4:40
  Speaker 13: unconditional U.S. military assistance to Israel, including weapons used in Gaza?
• 4:46
  Speaker 13: And is there any circumstance under which you would vote
• 4:49
  Speaker 13: to withhold or condition that aid? Please give voters a
• 4:52
  Speaker 13: yes or no answer first.
• 4:55
  Speaker 14: Ms.
• 4:55
  Speaker 15: Conley, you're going to kick us off here. Your views
• 4:57
  Speaker 15: on aid to Israel.
• 4:58
  Speaker 7: And you have one minute.
• 4:59
  Speaker 12: Yeah.
• 5:00
  Speaker 16: So, you know, I've spent 16 years in active duty,
• 5:03
  Speaker 16: multiple tours to combat zones in the Middle East. I
• 5:07
  Speaker 16: have to tell you, as someone who has been to war,
• 5:09
  Speaker 16: the last thing I want to see is anyone's sons
• 5:11
  Speaker 16: or daughters or anyone's communities continue to be at war.
• 5:14
  Speaker 16: I do support America's continued support to the state of
• 5:18
  Speaker 16: Israel and the Israeli people and support to ensure the
• 5:21
  Speaker 16: safety and security of the Israeli people through military assistance
• 5:24
  Speaker 16: and aid. And right now I support the Leahy laws,
• 5:27
  Speaker 16: which are administered for every recipient of.
• 5:29
  Speaker 15: Foreign military assistance, to include Israel. Okay, let me just
• 5:33
  Speaker 15: drill down a little further because it was back in
• 5:35
  Speaker 15: July when 103 of your fellow Democrats, the House Democrats,
• 5:39
  Speaker 15: voted on an amendment that would have stripped more than
• 5:42
  Speaker 15: $ 3 billion in U.S. aid to Israel. Congressman, you voted
• 5:46
  Speaker 15: against it. Had you been in Congress, which way would
• 5:48
  Speaker 15: your vote have gone, Kate Common?
• 5:50
  Speaker 16: I would have also voted against it.
• 5:52
  Speaker 15: Now, Congressman Lawler, on the flip side to you, Prime
• 5:55
  Speaker 15: Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said repeatedly that he wants to
• 5:59
  Speaker 15: wean Israel off of U.S. military aid over the next decade.
• 6:03
  Speaker 15: That is aid that you've been very supportive of. So
• 6:06
  Speaker 15: the question becomes, if Israel itself wants to phase out,
• 6:09
  Speaker 15: should American taxpayers continue to pay for it? You have
• 6:11
  Speaker 15: one minute to respond.
• 6:13
  Speaker 17: Well, of course, if Israel no longer needs the assistance,
• 6:17
  Speaker 17: that's a decision that they would make. But the assistance
• 6:20
  Speaker 17: very much is in our interest, especially with respect to
• 6:24
  Speaker 17: our military personnel in the region. We have a significant
• 6:29
  Speaker 17: number of bases in the Middle East, as well as
• 6:32
  Speaker 17: over 700,000 Americans living in the state of Israel at
• 6:36
  Speaker 17: a given time. The fact is that Israel is our
• 6:39
  Speaker 17: greatest ally in the Middle East, They are a beacon
• 6:43
  Speaker 17: of hope and opportunity and freedom and democracy. They're the
• 6:46
  Speaker 17: only democracy in the Middle East. They have not committed
• 6:49
  Speaker 17: a genocide. Let's be very clear about that. Some of
• 6:52
  Speaker 17: my colleagues, especially on the Democratic side of the aisle,
• 6:55
  Speaker 17: have wavered in their support because of the radical anti-Semitic
• 6:59
  Speaker 17: base of support within their party that has risen. People
• 7:03
  Speaker 17: like Zoran Mamdani, who my opponent says she respects.
• 7:07
  Speaker 7: I don't. I don't respect his position on Israel.
• 7:10
  Speaker 17: I don't respect where the Democratic Party is going when
• 7:13
  Speaker 17: it comes to supporting our greatest ally in the region.
• 7:16
  Speaker 15: I need to wrap you both there because you're going
• 7:18
  Speaker 15: to have an opportunity.
• 7:18
  Speaker 17: I just want to say I'm glad that you support
• 7:20
  Speaker 17: my legislation, the Jewish American Security Act. But do you
• 7:24
  Speaker 17: denounce Sohran Mamdani and his radical anti-Semitism?
• 7:27
  Speaker 16: I denounce anti-Semitism regardless of.
• 7:29
  Speaker 7: Do you denounce Zoran Mamdani?
• 7:31
  Speaker 16: I denounce anti-Semitism from anyone.
• 7:33
  Speaker 17: Do you denounce Zoran Mamdani? I've denounced Tucker Carlson. I've
• 7:36
  Speaker 17: denounced Candace Owens.
• 7:37
  Speaker 7: This is a huge stunt. Do you denounce Zoran Mamdani?
• 7:39
  Speaker 16: I have firm disagreements with members of the DSA within
• 7:42
  Speaker 16: the Democratic Party.
• 7:44
  Speaker 18: We have.
• 7:44
  Speaker 16: Any form of hate has no place, period, full stop. Look,
• 7:48
  Speaker 16: as a former military police officer... I support our law
• 7:51
  Speaker 16: enforcement and ensuring the safety and security of our communities.
• 7:54
  Speaker 16: I support border security as part of national security. And
• 7:57
  Speaker 16: I absolutely call out my own party when I believe
• 7:59
  Speaker 16: it's wrong.
• 8:00
  Speaker 7: But you don't denounce Sohran Mandani.
• 8:01
  Speaker 16: Have you denounced Donald Trump and the harm that he
• 8:04
  Speaker 16: has caused to our families here in the Hudson Valley? No,
• 8:06
  Speaker 16: you voted with them 100 percent of the time, Mike.
• 8:08
  Speaker 17: You continue to lie about that. It's provably false. I
• 8:11
  Speaker 17: have not voted with Donald Trump 100 percent of the time.
• 8:14
  Speaker 17: What I've done is actually do my job, which is
• 8:16
  Speaker 17: to represent my constituents and actually work in a bipartisan way.
• 8:20
  Speaker 17: Why do you think Jared Golden, a Democrat from Maine,
• 8:22
  Speaker 17: endorsed me? My best friend in Congress is Josh Gottheimer,
• 8:25
  Speaker 17: a Democrat. We work collaboratively all the time. How are
• 8:28
  Speaker 17: you going to engage in bipartisanship?
• 8:31
  Speaker 16: How are you going to engage in bipartisanship when you.
• 8:34
  Speaker 7: Call Republicans the greatest threat to America?
• 8:37
  Speaker 19: Changes could become a college athletics with the Senate passing
• 8:40
  Speaker 19: the Protect College Sports Act in a 77 to 22 vote.
• 8:45
  Speaker 19: The bipartisan bill, which is co-sponsored by Washington Senator Maria
• 8:48
  Speaker 19: Cantwell and Texas Senator Ted Cruz, would establish new rules
• 8:52
  Speaker 19: on student-athletes' eligibility, transfers, and compensation while putting restraints on
• 8:58
  Speaker 19: conference realignment. Cantwell also says the bill encourages colleges to
• 9:02
  Speaker 19: spend money on education and research rather than pumping large
• 9:05
  Speaker 19: amounts of money into sports teams.
• 9:07
  Speaker 20: There are people that are cutting science programs, cutting professors,
• 9:12
  Speaker 20: cutting other programs just to pay for college sports, when
• 9:17
  Speaker 20: in reality, we need all those competition issues to beat
• 9:20
  Speaker 20: China and compete and not have an arms race in sports.
• 9:25
  Speaker 19: The bill has been endorsed by the NCAA and top conferences,
• 9:28
  Speaker 19: but critics of it include the National College Players Association
• 9:31
  Speaker 19: and the NAACP. They argue the bill protects universities without
• 9:35
  Speaker 19: sufficient protection for student-athletes' rights. The PAC-12 released a statement
• 9:40
  Speaker 19: supporting the bill in hopes the Commission on the Future
• 9:42
  Speaker 19: of College Sports, created by the act, will help address
• 9:45
  Speaker 19: some of those issues and include student-athlete voices.
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: The bill now heads to the House for consideration. I
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: want to go inside the head of Bucky Dent. You
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: walk to the plate.
• 9:56
  Speaker 10: Right.
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: And I'm sorry. It's almost like Trump. Trump never thought
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: he was going to win the presidency. okay? Turned out
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: to be the greatest president ever, but he never thought
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: he was going to win. And something tells me I
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: don't think you thought you were going to hit a
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: home run in that spot. So when Bucky Dent actually
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: digs those cleats into the ground and is about to
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: face that pitch from Mike Torres... 48 years ago, what
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: were you thinking?
• 10:22
  Speaker 21: I was just trying to get a base hit. You know,
• 10:24
  Speaker 21: we were down, we were down and, uh, you know,
• 10:27
  Speaker 21: we had two runners on and I knew it was
• 10:30
  Speaker 21: a situation. The game was, you know, getting late seventh
• 10:32
  Speaker 21: inning and, uh, you know, the, the, you could feel
• 10:35
  Speaker 21: the tension start to build in the crowd. You know,
• 10:38
  Speaker 21: I mean, everybody would, you could just feel the pressure
• 10:40
  Speaker 21: and I was just looking to get a base hit.
• 10:42
  Speaker 21: I just wanted to get hit a base hit and
• 10:43
  Speaker 21: drive in a run and get us going. And, uh,
• 10:46
  Speaker 21: Mike made a mistake. He threw a fastball down and in,
• 10:48
  Speaker 21: and I hit it pretty good, and I really didn't
• 10:50
  Speaker 21: even know it was going to go out. I was
• 10:51
  Speaker 21: just running hard to get to second base because I
• 10:54
  Speaker 21: knew I was a tying run, but it wound up
• 10:58
  Speaker 21: going in the net, and I got a beautiful nickname
• 11:02
  Speaker 21: from that home run, and.
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: I love it. F-ing Bucky, right? Is it F-ing Bucky?
• 11:07
  Speaker 10: That's me, baby.
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: I know. To win the World Series, they did it
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: in 77 behind Reggie Jackson's MVP. They did it again
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: in 78, and Bucky Dent won the MVP there. But
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: look at Bucky Dent's career home run titles, totals I
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: should say. Nothing short of a miracle that Bucky Dent
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: hit that home run off Mike Torres. And the Yankees
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: get the win not long after that. Well, maybe I
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: guess it was long after that. 25 years after that,
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: the Yankees skipper Aaron Boone in 2003 also hit an
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: epic home run off of a Red Sox pitcher, Tim Wakefield.
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: So there's been history of big home runs, Yankees and
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: the Red Sox, none bigger than Bucky. And tonight, and
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: I'll be there, me, Danielle, Gabriel, and Alec, and tonight
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: in the Bronx, here we go again. I think it's
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: the seventh time that the Yankees will meet the Red
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: Sox in the postseason. In the Bronx, behind a guy
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: that should win the Cy Young this year, Cam Schlittler,
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: the Yankees will take on the Boston Red Sox in
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: a best-of-three with the winner moving on to take on
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: the AL East Division winners and the team that won
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: the most games inside the American League this year with
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: 98 wins, the Tampa Bay Rays. Yanks were second. They
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: won 93. Only two teams in baseball won 100 or more.
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: They're both in the National League with the Dodgers. And
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: the team that won the most games, the Milwaukee Brewers,
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: they won 103. But the Yankees will take on the
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: Red Sox in the Bronx tonight. Going to be nice
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: weather after three or four days of rain and nor'easter
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: and just miserable. We have nice weather coming up in
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: the Bronx later on tonight. Isn't that true, Noam?
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's going to be beautiful.
• 12:56
  Speaker 22: 70 today when they take to the field will be
• 12:58
  Speaker 22: in the 60s.
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: Nice. Nice and cool. Perfect temperatures. I do want to
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: start off today's show by sending a shout-out to a big,
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: big listener. And I know she loves the show, Angela Rondon. Angela,
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: good morning to you and your daughter, too. Marcella loves
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: the show as well. So thank you so much for
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: listening every morning. I get so many people. I know
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: you get this, too, Noam. So many people every day
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: that thank me and reach out to me and love
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: the show so much. Every now and then I'm compelled,
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: if I remember, to mention some of these fine folks.
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: You get that all the time, too.
• 13:34
  Speaker 22: I get a lot of, you tell Sid, and then
• 13:37
  Speaker 22: it's something they want me.
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: To relate to. Right, right. Yep, you tell Sid. I
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: get a lot of, you tell Trump. Hey, when you
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: talk to the president next, tell him this and tell
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: him that. But the truth is, is that the president
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: does not text me back nearly as much, nearly as much,
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: I guess, if you believe the mayor, as he does
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: Mom Donnie. And I watched the clips this morning. You've
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: got to be a loser. I mean, a big-time loser
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: to watch Jimmy Kimmel to begin with. But as I
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: said yesterday, the thought of watching Jimmy Kimmel and this
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: jihad boy mayor, if you ever wanted to awp yourself,
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: last night was the perfect time. Just end it right there.
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: Kimmel and Mamdani. Can you think of two bigger assholes, honestly,
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: than Kimmel and Mamdani and the two of them sitting
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: in Brooklyn as if Jimmy Kimmel is Brooklyn even a little.
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: I know these Brooklyn idiots, these millennials probably show up.
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: They love Jimmy because he hates Trump and they hate
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: Trump and he likes Mamdani and they love Mamdani. So
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: I'm sure they showed up. Very enthusiastic. But the truth is,
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: there's nothing Brooklyn about Jimmy Kimmel. There's barely anything American
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: at this point about Jimmy Kimmel. Same thing with Mamdani.
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: He's Mr. Uganda. He's Mr. Hamas. He's Mr. Gaza. He's Mr. Palestine,
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: which doesn't exist. There is nothing Brooklyn about Mamdani. There
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: is nothing American about Mamdani. So watching these two traitors...
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: sitting there last night, and I don't care if Trump
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: likes him or not. The jury is still out, depending
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: on who you talk to. Laura Trump said on this
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: show last week, the president's daughter-in-law, that she doesn't think
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: the president really likes him, but she wants what's best
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: for New York, and President Trump will do whatever he
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: can to make sure New York wins. She doesn't think
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: he really likes him. I don't know. I really can't tell.
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: I tend to think he really does, but I don't care.
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: Watching these two last night yuck it up as if
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: everything was going so well. Kimmel said it. Well, you're
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: off to a great start. And then I sit there
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: and I try to figure out one of the things
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: that Mamdani has done well so far. He's only been
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: in office for nine months. Nine months. Nine months. And
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: we've seen all kinds of major issues, angry people leaving,
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: overtaxing the wealthy, pissing off the cops, pissing off the
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: Jews and Italians, people dying from legionnaires, people dying in snowstorms.
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: I'm trying to figure out. What exactly this mayor has
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: done that has Jimmy Kimmel saying, hey, you're off to
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: a great start. Or President Trump saying, you've got potential
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: to be great. So I'll ask you, Norm, you do
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: the news every day. You're on top of every story.
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: Sometimes I'm not. Sometimes I get lost in the Knicks
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: or the Mets or the Yankees or the Giants. What
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: are all these great things that the mayor has done
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: that these people are saying these type of complimentary things?
• 16:54
  Speaker 12: I don't.
• 16:54
  Speaker 22: I'd have a hard time coming up with it. I mean,
• 16:56
  Speaker 22: I think a lot of it is he's young. So
• 16:59
  Speaker 22: many of our politicians are ancient.
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: What does that mean? I want accomplishments.
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: They're just ancient. People are like a young guy.
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: I want accomplishments. Has he made life easier in New York?
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: Is New York more affordable now?
• 17:10
  Speaker 22: Yeah, well, if you're somebody who is in housing now
• 17:14
  Speaker 22: that the rent has been frozen, you probably like him, right?
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: If you're in.
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: Well, what about the landlords? What about the landlords? They
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: live here, too. Agreed.
• 17:23
  Speaker 14: No, the.
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: A lot of these landlords... Well, there's two sides to this.
• 17:26
  Speaker 10: Of course.
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: Landlords and tenants.
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: Of course.
• 17:28
  Speaker 22: A lot of these landlords who own these apartments where
• 17:31
  Speaker 22: the rent has been frozen... Our small-time business owners, I mean,
• 17:34
  Speaker 22: they just own a building, like maybe a couple of apartments,
• 17:36
  Speaker 22: and that's it.
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: So it's not as easy as, well, the tenants are happy.
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: There are landlords involved. There's someone happy, in fact, that
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: our dear friend Randy, who worked alongside Rudy Giuliani and
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: Derek Adams, is suing. He's suing the Mamdani administration. So
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: not everybody is happy in increasing the rent. So give
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: me another, give me one example. But that's a big one.
• 17:56
  Speaker 22: He got that done. I mean, whether you like it
• 17:58
  Speaker 22: or not. That was one of his campaign promises.
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: Well, it's not completely done. Essentially, it is, yeah.
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: They're not raising the rent.
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: It's in the courts right now.
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, in the end, he's going to win that battle.
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: Well, we'll see. I wouldn't bet against Randy so easily.
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: What else? Are buses free? No, not yet.
• 18:14
  Speaker 6: I think Norm's point is that this is what all
• 18:17
  Speaker 6: the young people are seeing. That's what they see.
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: Well, not all of them. By the way, it's a
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: very small amount, a very, very, very small amount that
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: apartments are where the rents are frozen. Very small amount.
• 18:29
  Speaker 4: Plus, they're not even dissecting what has he done, what
• 18:32
  Speaker 4: has he hasn't done.
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: I'm trying to do that right now. I'm trying to
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: dissect right now. Give me something else. So he froze
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: a couple of apartments. It's not the majority of apartments
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: in New York, and right now there are lawsuits about that.
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: Give me something else. Are the buses free?
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: They are not.
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: They are not free.
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: So what else has he done?
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: What else has he done outside of rents? I'd have
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: to come back to you. I don't know. I'd have
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: to think about that. Well, that's the big one.
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: So then why are these people just so excited to
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: tell him how great he's doing if there should be five,
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: ten things that come to your mind right away? Right away.
• 19:11
  Speaker 14: Why?
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: Because he's young? I mean, give me a break. Give
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: me a break. You've got to give me five things
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: right off the top of your head. And you can't
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: even do that, can you?
• 19:20
  Speaker 14: No.
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: And I can give you five things right now. It's
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: still not affordable to live here. People are leaving every day.
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: He's overtaxing the rich. They're leaving every day. That's a
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: big problem here. Jewish people don't feel any safer. The
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: Italian people are devastated. The cops can't stand this guy.
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: He continues to be negative to the cops. I just
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: gave you six bad things under Mamdani. You can't come
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: up with two good things.
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: I can come up with a second one. I just
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: thought of the second one.
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: What is that?
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: That's the pre-K, the 2K. child care.
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: Okay, fantastic.
• 19:52
  Speaker 22: Well, that's a big deal if you're somebody who's paying
• 19:54
  Speaker 22: for child care, that now you can get free child
• 19:57
  Speaker 22: care in the city.
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: That's huge.
• 19:58
  Speaker 6: That was de Blasio's thing.
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it was. And then tell me about all these potholes.
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: And he extended it from 3K to 2K.
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: You know, I love when they talk about the potholes.
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: He's fixing potholes. Every morning, and we got a great driver,
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: this guy Gene. Every morning, Lou and I get out
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: of the car, we have back problems, knee problems. Not
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: Gene's fault. There are potholes the whole trip, from the
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: Belt Parkway to the Gowanus to the Brooklyn Bridge to
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: the FDR. Don't tell me this guy's fixing potholes when
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: our trip in every morning is an adventure.
• 20:29
  Speaker 22: Well, he claims in the first couple months of his
• 20:32
  Speaker 22: administration that he filled 100,000 potholes across the city.
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: Where are they? Where are they?
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: I don't know. But he was out there, remember, with
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: the shovel and everything after the winter?
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I saw, yeah, yeah. If that's your claim to fame,
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: that you fix potholes... You have people in this city
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: that still feel unsafe, an unhappy police force, and your
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: claim to fame is you fix potholes? That ain't going
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: to work, bro. Look, I'm just trying to find out
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: why these people are so enthusiastic. That's all. Why they
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: gush over this guy. You know, in the conversation about
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: him and Trump texting each other back and forth, it
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: didn't sound to me like President Trump texts him as
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: much as people think he does. In fact, he asked,
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: does he get back to you right away? And the
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: mayor's response was, well, we're both very busy men. So
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: I don't know. It doesn't sound to me like they're
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: quick to respond to each other.
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: Who do you think he gets back to faster, you
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: or the mayor?
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: I've got to be completely honest. The president has not
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: been getting back to me. I've been getting a lot
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: of the president's messages from Margo Martin. So the last
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: couple of months, the president has not done a great
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: job of getting back to me. But I've seen him.
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: You know, I saw him in the Oval Office last week,
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: and I saw him in Bedminster, New Jersey. And so
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: I see him, so we have conversations. But there are
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: a lot of times I'll send him a text, and
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: then Margot will get back to me. Or she'll send
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: him the text for me. He's busy. You know, there's
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: a war going on.
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, he's president.
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, kind of busy these days. But I just didn't
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: get the feeling from that conversation last night that the
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: response time is all that short.
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but he did come to Gracie Mansion last week.
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: Yes, he did.
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: And he had a meeting with him.
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: Yes, he did. He promised him in the White House
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: last year that he would come see him at Gracie.
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: And Trump is a man of his word. Sorry, Jimmy Kimmel.
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: He's a man of his word. And he kept his promise.
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: President Trump, he does keep his campaign promises. Even though
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: people claim, the ones that now stab him in the back,
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: that he lied, the Marjorie Taylor Greene's and the Tucker
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: Carlson's and the Candace Owens and a multitude of douchebags
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: that he lied and basically America first no longer exists
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: with President Trump. But I don't agree with that. Not
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: even a little. So he makes a promise and he
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: keeps it. Mamdani has not really done that. Not by
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: any stretch. What did you think of the whole Kimo
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: Mamdani thing last night?
• 23:10
  Speaker 22: You knew what it was going to be before I
• 23:11
  Speaker 22: even sat down and watched it this morning. It was like, okay,
• 23:14
  Speaker 22: you know. It was cute, I guess, but it wasn't funny.
• 23:18
  Speaker 22: If you were looking for laughs, you weren't going to
• 23:20
  Speaker 22: get laughs. You knew what he was.
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: Going to ask. What part of it was cute?
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: You know, the back and forth between the two of them.
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: This is becoming like a Goodfellas scene, Jesus. Funny how!
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: Funny how! And you're like, you know... I mean, geez.
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: You know, Tony.
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: I mean, if you say it's cute, you've got to
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: have something right at the top of you. Come on,
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: give me what was so cute. It was funny. What
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: was funny about it?
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: It was hysterical.
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that was hysterical. I mean, did you sit and laugh?
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: There was one point.
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: No, but I watched it because that's my job. I
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: watched it and I wasn't turned off by it.
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: I get it, but then why does it go from
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: it was funny to I had to watch it for
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: my job? Which one's the truth?
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: Which one was it?
• 24:03
  Speaker 14: No.
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: Number one is I had to watch it for my job.
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: Okay, fine. So did I.
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: Number two was, you know, it wasn't terrible.
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: So it's gone from it was funny to now it's
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: not terrible.
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: You're not going to lay off this, are you?
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: I mean, just be honest. Was there a point there
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: where you played something and you may have even chuckled
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: or grinned?
• 24:20
  Speaker 23: Yes.
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: And what was that? How about when Jimmy Kimmel said...
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: I'd have to watch it again.
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: I don't remember.
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: No, don't watch it again. Please do me a favor.
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: Don't watch it again.
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: I can play it for you again if you want.
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: No, I don't want to hear it again. But I
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: imagine when Jimmy Kimmel said... To the effect, you get
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: along with the president, maybe you can help me.
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: Oh, right. That was, yeah, that was funny. But I
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: knew that was coming. You know, funny, did I laugh
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: out loud?
• 24:40
  Speaker 14: No.
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: So what was it then?
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: Then I go back to my original word.
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: Well, just say that then.
• 24:45
  Speaker 23: Cute.
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: Why do you keep going back to funny and hysterical?
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: Then you go, not really.
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: Why do you care about this so much? What does
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: it matter?
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: I want to punch you across the face.
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: You come over here and try.
• 24:53
  Speaker 23: Oh.
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: You come right now.
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: Let's see who wins that battle.
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: Oh, my God.
• 24:59
  Speaker 6: All right, I got a good seat for this.
• 25:00
  Speaker 10: Oh, no.
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: Somebody ate their Wheaties this morning.
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: I did.
• 25:05
  Speaker 10: Somebody ate them.
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: Now, that would be funny.
• 25:10
  Speaker 6: So, Lou, how did it start?
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: I just want you to give me an honest assessment
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: of what you saw, and you go back and forth.
• 25:18
  Speaker 22: Well, I started with cute, and I'll stand by it.
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: You thought it was cute.
• 25:23
  Speaker 6: Well, they laughed a couple of times at each other, and.
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 25:25
  Speaker 6: Is it cute? But, you know.
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: I imagine when Hitler was sitting there with his Nazi
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: soldiers and was telling jokes.
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: Was he on Jimmy Kimmel?
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: They probably laughed a couple times, too. He was not
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: on Jimmy Kimmel, but I got to tell you, if
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: Jimmy Kimmel was around back then, he would have been on, yes. So, Guillermo,
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: I would be on now.
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: See your friend Goebbels. Tell me about him. Does he
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: text you back?
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: Now, that's funny. Now, that is funny. That's funny. I
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: just can't. My issue is, and I admit this. Unlike Norm, clearly.
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: I just can't say anything nice about this mayor. I
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: just can't. I admit it. Even if he does something
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: that's okay, maybe something that's beneficial to the city, which
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: he has not done yet, because, again, he's trying to
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: make tenants happy, but he's pissing off landlords. So even then,
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: I'm going to have a hard time giving him credit.
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: I admit that because he's a terrorist and a bad guy.
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: and an anti-Semite, hates everybody in the city outside the Muslims,
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: and because he laughs and giggles and people like President
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: Trump and Jimmy Kimmel pay attention to him, doesn't matter
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: to me. It means nothing to me. I see the
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: guy for who he is, and he's a bad guy.
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: So it's going to take a lot, I mean a lot,
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: for me to ever give this guy a compliment. And
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: I admit that, Noam. You, you're ready to go.
• 26:49
  Speaker 14: Yeah.
• 26:50
  Speaker 23: Oh, yeah.
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: I'm going to watch it again.
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: Do you like him?
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: No, but I'm not.
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: You know, I just want to remind you. I'm not
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: repulsed by him. I just want to remind you. Well,
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: you should be. We are eight days away from the
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: three-year commemoration of October 7th. Eight days away from the
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: three-year commemoration of October 7th. And he sleeps with a woman,
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: sleeps with a woman who, like graphic images of young
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: girls being raped, Babies thrown in ovens and elderly people
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: having their eyes taken out of their head. And you're
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: not repulsed by this guy? He's friends with Mahmoud Khalil.
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: He's friends with all the people, Noam, that you have
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: admitted on this show you don't like. So what would
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: it take for you to be repulsed by somebody?
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: I'd have to think about that.
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: Maybe you want to go back. Maybe it's funny. I
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: don't know. Throw that word in there. I think you
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: are repulsed by him. I don't know why you're afraid
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: to say it.
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: No, for the most part, I am. But going back
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: to that interaction on TV last night.
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: Wait a second. You are or you're not?
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: Can we start that fight we were going to do?
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: Can I come over and punch Living Daylights out of you?
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: When does that begin?
• 28:01
  Speaker 6: Somehow I see Tom running in there.
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: I just don't understand.
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: Two seconds ago, you're not opposed by him. Now you
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: are kind of opposed by him. Because I have to
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: remind you what this animal has done.
• 28:10
  Speaker 22: So I was watching what just seemed like a relatively
• 28:14
  Speaker 22: innocent interaction between Jimmy Kimmel and Mom Donnie on the
• 28:17
  Speaker 22: stupid talk show last night. And now it's turned into this.
• 28:21
  Speaker 22: But you asked me what I thought, and I was like, yeah,
• 28:23
  Speaker 22: it was fine. I knew what I was going to get,
• 28:25
  Speaker 22: and it was all right. It didn't bother me.
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: You know what I thought was even funnier than that
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: last night? Because I can't stand either one of those guys.
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: And again, I'm on record admitting it. I thought the
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: debate between Lawler and Conley was actually funnier.
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: Well, he just wiped the floor.
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: He killed her. He killed her. And, you know, he
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: kept saying 100%. He said, you can say 100% as
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: much as you want. It doesn't mean it's 100%. And
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: she did lie. She lied. She flat out lied. Kate
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: Conley running against my friend Mike Lawler up in Rockland
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: County is a liar. I'll say it.
• 29:00
  Speaker 10: Okay?
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: She lied. She lied. about a variety of things last night.
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: So what did you think about that?
• 29:05
  Speaker 22: Well, that's where it became, you see, what is he now,
• 29:08
  Speaker 22: two terms in, Mike Lawler, where you see he has
• 29:11
  Speaker 22: the expertise on the debate stage that she clearly didn't
• 29:13
  Speaker 22: have last night, and that was really apparent.
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: He just killed her, right?
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it was cute.
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: And kind of funny?
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: And kind of funny.
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: Mike Lawler should go on with Jimmy Kimmel. He would
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: do it. He goes on CNN. He goes on all
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: these horrible networks.
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: He could fill in for Mondani. He kind of looks
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: a little bit like Michael.
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: I know, Mike. You've got to cut some of that
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: facial hair off. I don't know why he does that.
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: I've been told by Lisa G that Howard Stern will
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: be on with Jimmy Kimmel tonight.
• 29:42
  Speaker 6: Whoa, shock.
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: Who wants to see that? You know what's funny about Howard?
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: And again, I was a huge Howard fan. Everybody knows that.
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: I worked for Dom, but I loved Howard. And I
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: was on Howard's show a bunch, and he was very,
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: very nice to me. He let me host Whack Pack Bowling,
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: which was a huge moment. In my career. But I
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: never laughed when he was on Letterman or any one
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: of these late night shows. Even when he came down
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: as Fartman or something like that. I never laughed. He
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: always seemed so uncomfortable. And you know he sits there
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: wanting to hit a grand slam home run. And sometimes,
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: like he does with the radio show, you've got to
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: let the moment come to you. You can't just try
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: to steal it and start on TV. I find him
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: to be uncomfortable and not very good. Even when he
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: did America's Got Talent, he wasn't funny. He wasn't a
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: great judge. I watched it because I loved his radio show.
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: I was like, wow, how cool is this? Howard Stern
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: is on NBC. So I did watch it. I never
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: really laughed. In fact, I never laughed at him or
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: Howie Mandel, to be honest. So I don't think he's
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: very good on television. You're a big Stern guy. Let
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: me guess. You think he's funny. No, right?
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: Well, his radio show is.
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: Yes, but he's terrible on television.
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: And I would even argue his radio show is not
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: so funny anymore.
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: Oh, no, that's over. Right, that died. So he'll be
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: on tonight. And I guess at some point this week,
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: this poor guy, he's like 87 years. I think he's 85.
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: And they make him go to all these events. And
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: it's over for the most part. Paul McCartney will be
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: on this week. Anybody excited about Paul McCartney at this stage?
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: And I love Paul. Don't get me wrong. I love
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: his music. I love the Beatles. I love Wings. But
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: anybody want to see Paul McCartney sitting there getting interviewed?
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: Not by Jimmy Kimmel.
• 31:26
  Speaker 2: Right, not by Jimmy Kimmel. Maybe Bruce Blakeman.
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: That would be interesting.
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: That would be a good interview.
• 31:34
  Speaker 24: Right?
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: I'd watch that.
• 31:35
  Speaker 12: Yeah.
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: What do you think about having sex with my ex-wife?
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: How was that going for you, big guy?
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: You went right there.
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I would go right there. First question. Why do
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: you think he put it up?
• 31:45
  Speaker 12: Yeah.
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: Come on. Let me know. What do you think? I
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: thought she was pretty good. What do you think?
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: You have Bruce on all the time. You've never really
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: asked him about that.
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: Oh, I sure have.
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: Like about, you went to just to the sex part,
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: like that.
• 31:57
  Speaker 23: 100%.
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: And what did he say?
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: I don't remember. Well, it wasn't on the radio. It
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: was at Rockers. Oh, okay.
• 32:01
  Speaker 14: Yeah.
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: But I will ask him if you want me to.
• 32:06
  Speaker 7: Sure.
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: I'm not sure how that's going to help his gubernatorial campaign,
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: but I want the guy to win. But I will
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: ask him if you want me to.
• 32:12
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: Because to you it would be, let's use this word again, Lewis,
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: it would be funny.
• 32:16
  Speaker 10: Cute.
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: I said cute, actually.
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: Oh, cute. That's really cute, though, right? That's above and
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: beyond just cute, don't you think, though? Lindsey Clancy is
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: back in court at 9 o'clock this morning. Donna Rotuno.
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: who's been covering this case, doing a great job on
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: Fox News. You've got to love Fox News, right? As
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: far as I know, I'm banned. I've never gotten any
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: message from anybody in charge at Fox News, but some
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: of their biggest talents have told me, Sid, you won't
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: be back for a while because I called Mom Donnie
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: a terrorist with Rachel Campos, Duffy, and Griff Jenkins, and
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: Charlie Hurt. You all saw it. So as far as
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: I know, me, I am a mega-fierce President Trump loyalist.
• 32:59
  Speaker 2: I can't get on Fox News, but Melissa DeRosa, who's
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: a lifelong Democrat, and I got nothing against Melissa personally,
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: lifelong Democrat who buddies up to a governor that destroyed
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: this state, Andrew Cuomo, she now has a full-time job
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: with Fox News. How does that make sense? Make that
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: make sense for me, Noam.
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: I don't get it.
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: Sid Rosenberg is not welcome on Fox News, but Melissa
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: DeRosa is. What is that? She'll never come on this show.
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: I asked her a hundred times, even when I was
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: carrying the water for Cuomo, because Curtis was so pathetic,
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: and Mamdani couldn't win, even then she wouldn't come on.
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: But now she's got a full-time gig. She's a contributor.
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: She's got a podcast. But I can't get on that
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: damn channel. But I love Trump. I'm Willie Maga. When
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: I go on those shows, all of them, the ratings
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: go up. How do I know? Every host tells me.
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: Brian Kilmeade on this show, on this radio show, on
• 33:58
  Speaker 2: record saying, when you come on One Nation Sunday nights,
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: we get great ratings. Trust me, those weekend mornings with
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: those three, I guarantee you their ratings were up. I
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: guarantee it. But I can't get on. But DeRosa. They
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: hire her. What is going on with Fox News?
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: Is this ban still in place for you?
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, of course. No one's calling me.
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: Nobody officially has told you you've been banned.
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: Well, just some of the big talent there have said that.
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: Oh, they did. So the word's gotten out that you
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: can't go on any show.
• 34:26
  Speaker 2: Not for a little while, at least. How long is this?
• 34:29
  Speaker 2: No one's ever told me exactly how long.
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: You would say it's not a Pete Rose lifetime ban.
• 34:33
  Speaker 14: Yeah.
• 34:34
  Speaker 2: But there seems to be some type of ban, and
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: I'm not helping myself because I keep crushing them, but
• 34:40
  Speaker 2: Melissa DeRosa's welcome on the network, but not me? Really?
• 34:43
  Speaker 2: You think DeRosa watched that network all these years like
• 34:46
  Speaker 2: I did religiously? I mean, Fox News, I'm telling you
• 34:49
  Speaker 2: this right now, Roger Ailes is rolling over in his grave.
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: And sorry, Charlie Gasparino, I know you love DeRosa, but
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: give me a break. Give me a break. Donna Rotuno
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: is on Fox News. She does an amazing job covering
• 35:03
  Speaker 2: this Lindsay Clancy trial. She's in Italy this morning, but
• 35:07
  Speaker 2: she's calling in live in about 20 minutes with the latest.
• 35:10
  Speaker 2: What do you know, Noam?
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: Well, today is a status conference in this case.
• 35:15
  Speaker 22: You know, there's this holdout or this juror, Michael Dezenville,
• 35:19
  Speaker 22: I think it's his name.
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: Dezenville, yeah. Yeah.
• 35:21
  Speaker 22: So he's the one that got in the way of
• 35:24
  Speaker 22: the not guilty verdict in this case.
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: And so.
• 35:28
  Speaker 22: there was this motion to investigate him, like that he
• 35:31
  Speaker 22: maybe wasn't honest while they were picking the jury pool.
• 35:35
  Speaker 22: And so I guess this status conference, she'll be able to.
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: Tell a whole lot more because she understands the.
• 35:39
  Speaker 22: Legalese behind this, but there's a status conference today about him,
• 35:43
  Speaker 22: about this holdout juror.
• 35:44
  Speaker 2: Wait, so what would the probe be on him? Because
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: I know you're right, they want to investigate him, they
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: want to probe. What is their issue, her attorneys with
• 35:51
  Speaker 2: this juror?
• 35:53
  Speaker 22: That he wasn't honest during the process when they were
• 35:56
  Speaker 22: picking the jury poll.
• 35:57
  Speaker 2: Okay. And he said that she was flat out guilty, right?
• 36:01
  Speaker 2: He said that, right?
• 36:02
  Speaker 22: Yeah, he was the holdout that otherwise she would have
• 36:06
  Speaker 22: been found not guilty.
• 36:07
  Speaker 23: Right.
• 36:08
  Speaker 2: What else is going on in this city today?
• 36:09
  Speaker 22: Well, you've got the cleanup from the storm. That's been
• 36:12
  Speaker 22: a real mess. You know that they said, New York
• 36:15
  Speaker 22: City says not hundreds of trees, but thousands of trees
• 36:18
  Speaker 22: fell over. from Saturday or Friday night into Sunday morning.
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: I mean, it was bad.
• 36:25
  Speaker 22: The street's down everywhere. In fact, the city is so
• 36:27
  Speaker 22: overwhelmed by the cleanup that they've brought in construction crews
• 36:33
  Speaker 22: from all over the country. Maybe you've seen some of
• 36:35
  Speaker 22: the trucks coming into places like Little Neck Queens.
• 36:38
  Speaker 23: No.
• 36:39
  Speaker 2: Why would I be in Little Neck Queens? I mean,
• 36:41
  Speaker 2: it's cute, but why would I be there? It's like
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: when Joe Nolan goes, if you're on the ballpark right now, well,
• 36:48
  Speaker 2: I'm not.
• 36:49
  Speaker 21: Yeah, so.
• 36:50
  Speaker 22: There's a lot of cleanup to be done, whether it
• 36:52
  Speaker 22: be Long Island, down by where you are, in the Rockaways,
• 36:56
  Speaker 22: down the Jersey Shore. It's just a day to clean
• 36:58
  Speaker 22: up what's going on, the mess that's left behind.
• 37:01
  Speaker 2: And we don't have any rain coming up in the.
• 37:03
  Speaker 7: No.
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: In fact, Thursday and Friday, we're going to be in
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: the 80s.
• 37:07
  Speaker 23: Right.
• 37:08
  Speaker 2: I did think I saw rain on Sunday, about a
• 37:10
  Speaker 2: 30% chance. And back to cloudy, cooler temperatures over the weekend.
• 37:15
  Speaker 2: But you're right. As the week progresses, temperature goes up
• 37:18
  Speaker 2: and a little more sunshine this week.
• 37:20
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 37:20
  Speaker 2: Is what I saw. What else is going on? We're
• 37:23
  Speaker 2: getting news.
• 37:23
  Speaker 22: Remember this woman we told you about yesterday who was
• 37:27
  Speaker 22: beaten to death in Central Park?
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: People all freaked out by it.
• 37:29
  Speaker 22: Now we're learning a little bit more about who she was.
• 37:32
  Speaker 22: She was a 63-year-old homeless woman that lived in the
• 37:36
  Speaker 22: Ramble inside the park there. And she was really well
• 37:39
  Speaker 22: known by people who visited the park, especially people who
• 37:42
  Speaker 22: were in the birding community.
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: She was a portrait artist, and she'd paint these paintings.
• 37:47
  Speaker 22: In fact, some of her paintings were shown in a
• 37:50
  Speaker 22: piece that was done in the New York Times.
• 37:51
  Speaker 2: No kidding.
• 37:52
  Speaker 22: Yeah, it's not clear why they have the person. They
• 37:55
  Speaker 22: arrested the man who allegedly murdered her.
• 37:57
  Speaker 2: He beat her to death.
• 37:59
  Speaker 22: But there's no motive. Police don't really have a motive
• 38:01
  Speaker 22: yet for why he did it. It was another homeless person. But, yeah,
• 38:05
  Speaker 22: a lot of people talking, speaking out yesterday.
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: About this woman. So sad that she was somebody who
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: had lived in the park well.
• 38:12
  Speaker 22: I mean, you know, they're not even clear why she
• 38:14
  Speaker 22: was in the park, why she was homeless, whether it
• 38:16
  Speaker 22: was mental health issues. But she had lived there for
• 38:20
  Speaker 22: years and nobody had bothered her until this dope came along,
• 38:23
  Speaker 22: this alleged murderer.
• 38:24
  Speaker 2: No life insurance. You know, I was listening to your
• 38:26
  Speaker 2: show this morning. I listen every morning. It's a great show, folks.
• 38:28
  Speaker 2: Trust me. 5 to 6 a.m. every morning, right before
• 38:32
  Speaker 2: I take the air. And Noam does a tremendous job.
• 38:35
  Speaker 2: Best news show in the city all day long. I
• 38:38
  Speaker 2: say that to Ben Meverack over at 1010 Winds, and
• 38:41
  Speaker 2: I mean it. Nobody does the news better than Noam.
• 38:44
  Speaker 2: 5 to 6, his show is great. And late in
• 38:47
  Speaker 2: the show... You were playing a bunch of cuts, I
• 38:50
  Speaker 2: have them too, from Knicks players. Jalen Brunson, I heard
• 38:54
  Speaker 2: head coach Mike Brown, I heard call Anthony Towns, who's
• 38:58
  Speaker 2: looking for $ 127 million. What was that all about?
• 39:02
  Speaker 22: Yeah, well, the Knicks had their first press conference ahead
• 39:05
  Speaker 22: of their home opener, which is October 20th against the Sixers.
• 39:10
  Speaker 22: Then LeBron James, a new member of Philadelphia, he'll be
• 39:13
  Speaker 22: playing in this debut, and that's when they'll raise money.
• 39:15
  Speaker 22: the banner in Madison Square Garden for 53 years.
• 39:18
  Speaker 2: So this was Nick's media day because Philadelphia had the
• 39:22
  Speaker 2: same thing yesterday and LeBron James spoke in Philadelphia yesterday.
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and he said that he would like to.
• 39:27
  Speaker 2: Be a Knick. Well, I came very, very close to
• 39:30
  Speaker 2: signing with the Knicks. Very, very close. The story was,
• 39:33
  Speaker 2: if the Knicks did not win the championship last year,
• 39:37
  Speaker 2: LeBron James would be a Knick today. But because they won,
• 39:40
  Speaker 2: he felt like, okay, I don't need to go there.
• 39:44
  Speaker 2: They've already won. I don't know if the Knicks still
• 39:47
  Speaker 2: wanted him even after they won. But that was the story.
• 39:50
  Speaker 2: If the Knicks did not win the championship last year,
• 39:53
  Speaker 2: LeBron James would 1,000% be a Knick today.
• 39:56
  Speaker 22: Yeah, and let's not forget where LeBron James is playing. Yeah,
• 40:00
  Speaker 22: he's playing for the 76ers, but he's living here in Manhattan.
• 40:04
  Speaker 2: In the city. He's not the first Philadelphia player to
• 40:07
  Speaker 2: do that. I think he's now the third 76er in
• 40:10
  Speaker 2: team history to live in New York City and travel
• 40:14
  Speaker 2: to Philadelphia for the home games.
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: What a slap in the face to Philadelphia.
• 40:18
  Speaker 2: I know, I know. Hey, listen, my daughter goes to college. You, Penn.
• 40:22

  Speaker 2: ride i'm sure lebron gets a helicopter or something even
• 40:29
  Speaker 2: fancier no big deal to get to new york from
• 40:32
  Speaker 2: new york to philadelphia and philadelphia has some nice areas
• 40:35
  Speaker 2: don't get me wrong very nice areas but it ain't
• 40:37
  Speaker 2: new york city so let's play some of this lewis
• 40:39
  Speaker 2: here is jalen brunson the man most people would agree
• 40:43
  Speaker 2: led the knicks to the championship and he's talking about
• 40:46
  Speaker 2: what it was like to win it all cut number.
• 40:48
  Speaker 14: 10 I think we have the confidence knowing that we
• 40:52
  Speaker 14: did do it. That's going to help us, but that
• 40:54
  Speaker 14: can also hurt us. So it's all about how we
• 40:57
  Speaker 14: go into training camp and how we go into these
• 40:59
  Speaker 14: first few weeks to see where we are as a team.
• 41:01
  Speaker 2: Don't forget Jalen Brunson just hosted Saturday Night Live a
• 41:05
  Speaker 2: couple nights ago. One more. Here is Knicks head coach
• 41:08
  Speaker 2: Mike Brown. Think about this, folks. Only two Knicks coaches
• 41:12
  Speaker 2: have now won championships. Red Holtzman and Mike Brown. Isn't
• 41:17
  Speaker 2: that unbelievable? All the big names with the Knicks. Pat Riley,
• 41:21
  Speaker 2: Larry Brown, Phil Jackson. Now, Red Holtzman and Mike Brown...
• 41:27
  Speaker 2: And here is Coach Brown talking about what the championship
• 41:31
  Speaker 2: meant to the city of New York, Louis, cut number 12.
• 41:34
  Speaker 24: What we accomplished, first of all, I just want to
• 41:36
  Speaker 24: get this out of the way. What we accomplished, obviously,
• 41:40
  Speaker 24: was amazing. It was amazing for our family. It was
• 41:43
  Speaker 24: amazing for our friends, for the organization, for the city
• 41:47
  Speaker 24: of New York.
• 41:49
  Speaker 2: What a job by Mike Brown. Anything else in the
• 41:51
  Speaker 2: final couple of seconds here, Noel?
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: Did you see this?
• 41:53
  Speaker 22: Somebody who used to hang out here every once in
• 41:55
  Speaker 22: a while, the 90s TV sitcom star Dennis Haskins.
• 41:59
  Speaker 2: Do you remember him? He was... Mr. Belden. Yes, I'm
• 42:02
  Speaker 2: saved by the bell. He used to hang out at
• 42:04
  Speaker 2: the old place at Madison Square Garden because he had
• 42:07
  Speaker 2: a very strange relationship with our little friend Mike Gunzelman.
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: Oh, is that what it was?
• 42:11
  Speaker 19: Yes!
• 42:12
  Speaker 2: Gunzelman was best friends with Dennis Haskins. He even called
• 42:15
  Speaker 2: into me and Bernard a couple of times at the garden.
• 42:17
  Speaker 22: You know, I remember I'd show up at work, and
• 42:19
  Speaker 22: I would be like, I think that's Principal Belfink.
• 42:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it was. He was friendly with Gunzelman. And I
• 42:25
  Speaker 2: did watch that show. I think you said this morning,
• 42:27
  Speaker 2: the star.
• 42:28
  Speaker 14: No.
• 42:28
  Speaker 2: You had Mario Lopez.
• 42:30
  Speaker 21: Yeah.
• 42:30
  Speaker 2: You had Dustin Diamond, who's.
• 42:32
  Speaker 21: Dead, you know.
• 42:32
  Speaker 2: He's gone. Who was the blonde kid that played the
• 42:35
  Speaker 2: lead on that show?
• 42:36
  Speaker 14: God.
• 42:37
  Speaker 2: That was not James Van Der Beek. He died, too.
• 42:39
  Speaker 2: He was on a different show.
• 42:40
  Speaker 14: Right.
• 42:41
  Speaker 2: Paul Michael Glazer, maybe? Is that it? I don't know. Starsky? No,
• 42:45
  Speaker 2: not Starsky. The blonde kid. Then you had all these girls.
• 42:49
  Speaker 2: Elizabeth Berkley was on that show. I think Tiffany Amphitheason
• 42:52
  Speaker 2: was on that show before she did 90210 Beverly Hills.
• 42:56
  Speaker 6: Mark Paul Gosselaar.
• 42:57
  Speaker 2: Paul Gosselaar, thank you. So we had a nice little
• 43:00
  Speaker 2: role there, Mr. Belding, but he wasn't the star. He
• 43:02
  Speaker 2: was just the principal. The kids were the stars. But, yes,
• 43:06
  Speaker 2: it was the Mike Gunzelman connection. He died yesterday?
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: Yes, 75 years old, so no cause of death revealed.
• 43:12
  Speaker 2: Well, then he's not going to be coming over anymore.
• 43:14
  Speaker 22: No, we hadn't seen him in a while anyway, but
• 43:16
  Speaker 22: there was a while where he was here a lot.
• 43:18
  Speaker 2: Well, there, the garden.
• 43:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, again.
• 43:20
  Speaker 2: I don't think he's ever been here.
• 43:21
  Speaker 14: No, no.
• 43:21
  Speaker 2: Because Gunselman has never been here.
• 43:23
  Speaker 23: No.
• 43:24
  Speaker 2: You know, I saw Gunselman on Fox News a couple
• 43:26
  Speaker 2: of weeks ago. Carly Shimkus and him are very, very
• 43:28
  Speaker 2: good friends. So at like 5.50 in the morning before
• 43:32
  Speaker 2: the big show takes over, when they have that Todd Pyro,
• 43:35
  Speaker 2: Carly Shimkus show, They bring on Gunzelman to talk about sports.
• 43:40
  Speaker 2: And he looked.
• 43:44
  Speaker 2: I don't even know what to say. Melissa DeRosa and
• 43:47
  Speaker 2: Mike Gunzelman get on Fox News, but I can't get on.
• 43:50
  Speaker 6: He looked as comfortable as Howard on TV.
• 43:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah, pretty much. You know, he laughs a lot and
• 43:55
  Speaker 2: he gets very frenetic. Yeah, it's just like a nervous laugh.
• 43:59
  Speaker 1: And he's in his bedroom. Yeah, basically he's in his bedroom, yes.
• 44:05
  Speaker 1: They have him.
• 44:06
  Speaker 22: They must have given him some sort of setup where
• 44:09
  Speaker 22: he does it from his bedroom.
• 44:10
  Speaker 2: His bedroom for many years was my office at Madison
• 44:13
  Speaker 2: Square Garden. I shared that office with Rita Cosby next
• 44:16
  Speaker 2: door to Bernie. I'd come in most mornings and Mike
• 44:19
  Speaker 2: Gunson would be asleep on the couch. Can't make it up.
• 44:24
  Speaker 6: It was like a homeless dog that.
• 44:26
  Speaker 2: You bring in. And then you had all these guys
• 44:28
  Speaker 2: that can fill in for the I-Man when he was
• 44:30
  Speaker 2: on vacation, which I did once and got great reviews.
• 44:34
  Speaker 2: I mean, great reviews. Even one of them was like, man,
• 44:36
  Speaker 2: that guy's good. And the I-Man, who couldn't stand that,
• 44:40
  Speaker 2: he hated that, he elected to have Mike Gunzelman host
• 44:43
  Speaker 2: the shows when he was away because he knew that
• 44:46
  Speaker 2: Mike Gunzelman was no threat. When Mike was on, nobody
• 44:49
  Speaker 2: was texting I-Man or emailing I-Man going, stay on vacation.
• 44:53
  Speaker 2: When Sid hosted for I-Man... He got a ton of
• 44:57
  Speaker 2: emails saying maybe it's time to call it quits. And
• 45:01
  Speaker 2: as you can imagine, Norm, because you hated his guts,
• 45:03
  Speaker 2: he didn't like that very much. He did not.
• 45:06
  Speaker 25: That's Mike for you.
• 45:19
  Speaker 2: That's the stylings of Mike Guntherman. We've got a great
• 45:22
  Speaker 2: guest list.
• 45:24
  Speaker 26: Sid and Friends in the Morning on the Red Apple
• 45:28
  Speaker 26: Podcast Network.
• 45:30
  Speaker 2: I used to watch Fox News more than I do now.
• 45:34
  Speaker 2: I do watch a lot of sports, a lot especially
• 45:37
  Speaker 2: during football season. But we watch something on Netflix or
• 45:42
  Speaker 2: Apple TV or Hulu or Amazon Prime almost every night.
• 45:47
  Speaker 2: I recommend you folks check out season three of Gravesend.
• 45:51
  Speaker 2: I'm back for my second season. I was not there
• 45:54
  Speaker 2: season one. I was there season two. I'm back for
• 45:57
  Speaker 2: season three playing mob soldier Dave Busco. I saw myself
• 46:02
  Speaker 2: in a couple of episodes on Friday night with my
• 46:06
  Speaker 2: kids and my wife. It was great. A couple of
• 46:08
  Speaker 2: really good scenes. One at Aunt Butchie's on Staten Island.
• 46:12
  Speaker 2: One in a makeshift nightclub in Queens with Shaquille O'Neal.
• 46:16
  Speaker 2: So go check it out. Willie DeMayo does a terrific job.
• 46:18
  Speaker 2: He'll be here tomorrow. It's a great show. But we
• 46:22
  Speaker 2: fell in love with the show a couple of years ago.
• 46:23
  Speaker 2: We really liked it. It was on Netflix. And the
• 46:26
  Speaker 2: name of the show... And, Norman, I know you're familiar
• 46:29
  Speaker 2: with this, is Nobody Wants This. And the story is
• 46:34
  Speaker 2: about a relationship between Kristen Bell, who plays a very
• 46:39
  Speaker 2: ditzy Gentile influencer, and Adam Brody. Adam Brody plays a rabbi.
• 46:46
  Speaker 2: Adam Brody was in one of those teen angst shows
• 46:49
  Speaker 2: years and years ago. You remember which one it was, Noam?
• 46:53
  Speaker 2: I think the OC. Was it the OC? Very good.
• 46:56
  Speaker 2: It was the OC.
• 46:57
  Speaker 6: Because I know now who you're talking about.
• 46:58
  Speaker 14: Yeah.
• 46:59
  Speaker 2: So this kid plays the rabbi and Belle, who's kind
• 47:02
  Speaker 2: of cute, she plays his Schick's girlfriend. Very unlikely combination.
• 47:09
  Speaker 2: And it turns out now that Adam Brody is just
• 47:12
  Speaker 2: another one of these anti-Israel Hollywood dickheads. He did an
• 47:18
  Speaker 2: interview with GQ not that long ago. And he said,
• 47:22
  Speaker 2: in terms of Israel, put me down as thinking it's
• 47:26
  Speaker 2: a genocide. Put me down as wanting a free Palestine.
• 47:30
  Speaker 2: It's awful that it's taken so much death and misery,
• 47:34
  Speaker 2: but it does feel like it's reaching a breaking point
• 47:36
  Speaker 2: that it should have a while ago. I'm hopeful that
• 47:39
  Speaker 2: another administration, not Bibi, of course, can really do some
• 47:43
  Speaker 2: good and correct some of these policies that are helping
• 47:46
  Speaker 2: that situation be as awful as it is. So here
• 47:51
  Speaker 2: he is, Adam Brody, Adam Brody, a Jewish kid playing
• 47:56
  Speaker 2: a rabbi in this very popular Netflix show, Nobody Wants This,
• 48:01
  Speaker 2: coming out and attacking Bibi and Israel. What does that
• 48:05
  Speaker 2: mean for me and Danielle? We ain't going to watch
• 48:08
  Speaker 2: season two. So congratulations, Adam. You just drove away some
• 48:14
  Speaker 2: of your audience. Maybe next time you should S-T-F-U. You
• 48:20
  Speaker 2: know what that stands for, Noah? I do. Shut the
• 48:22
  Speaker 2: up up, Adam. Because, look, you want to lose viewers,
• 48:27
  Speaker 2: you do what you just did. And I got to
• 48:29
  Speaker 2: imagine a lot of Jews like that show. Played a rabbi.
• 48:33
  Speaker 1: It's a good show.
• 48:34
  Speaker 7: Right.
• 48:34
  Speaker 2: He played a rabbi. The relationship between a non-Jew and
• 48:37
  Speaker 2: a Jew and all that. We've all got friends and
• 48:39
  Speaker 2: relatives who marry outside their religion. For him to come
• 48:43
  Speaker 2: out and do that, how does that help? It helps
• 48:46
  Speaker 2: because he's a coward, and he just caved into a
• 48:50
  Speaker 2: lot of people in Hollywood want to hear. So another
• 48:54
  Speaker 2: profile in courage, another coward, Adam Brody. Nobody wants this.
• 49:00
  Speaker 2: You're right, Adam Brody. Nobody wants you.
• 49:05
  Speaker 26: Sid and Friends in the Morning on the Red Apple
• 49:08
  Speaker 26: Podcast Network.
• 49:09
  Speaker 2: Joe Tacopino, Arthur Aydala, Alan Dershowitz. who sat next to
• 49:14
  Speaker 2: me at the Netanyahu speech, but my TV attorney is
• 49:18
  Speaker 2: Donna Rotono. She's the best. And I had to find
• 49:21
  Speaker 2: her this morning. She's actually vacationing in Italy, but she's
• 49:25
  Speaker 2: still kind enough to join me even on vacation. So, Donna,
• 49:30
  Speaker 2: good morning. Ciao, Bella. How are you?
• 49:32
  Speaker 27: Good morning.
• 49:33
  Speaker 10: Ciao.
• 49:34
  Speaker 27: Ciao, Sid.
• 49:34
  Speaker 8: I'm grateful to be with you and looking at the
• 49:37
  Speaker 8: beautiful mountains and vineyards in Italy as we speak.
• 49:41
  Speaker 2: Where are you exactly?
• 49:44
  Speaker 8: I am right now.
• 49:44
  Speaker 27: I'm in Chianti.
• 49:45
  Speaker 8: We are outside of Florence and we are, it's lunchtime here.
• 49:49
  Speaker 27: So we're going to have some lunch.
• 49:51
  Speaker 8: And enjoy, but I'm always thrilled to be on with you,
• 49:54
  Speaker 8: especially after a third string quarterback bears win.
• 49:57
  Speaker 2: I was going to ask you about that because when
• 50:00
  Speaker 2: I go to Israel, for example, not Europe, I've been
• 50:02
  Speaker 2: to Italy too, but I have difficulty finding these games,
• 50:06
  Speaker 2: and I just can't sit my whole term and watch
• 50:08
  Speaker 2: it on the phone. So I was in Israel a
• 50:10
  Speaker 2: couple years ago for the AFC championship game, and good
• 50:13
  Speaker 2: luck finding that at 3 o'clock in the morning. Were
• 50:15
  Speaker 2: you able to find a place to watch your beloved
• 50:17
  Speaker 2: Bears whoop up on the Eagles last night?
• 50:20
  Speaker 8: Well, you know, it was 2 a.m., so I did
• 50:23
  Speaker 8: not leave the hotel room, but I was able to
• 50:26
  Speaker 8: pull it up on the phone and watch some of
• 50:28
  Speaker 8: it in and out of sleep.
• 50:31
  Speaker 2: That's why I can never live anyplace else. I know.
• 50:35
  Speaker 10: I know.
• 50:35
  Speaker 2: That's why I love America, above and beyond President Trump
• 50:38
  Speaker 2: and all the freedoms we've got. Football. I can't watch
• 50:41
  Speaker 2: football at 2 o'clock in the morning. I can't even
• 50:43
  Speaker 2: live on the West Coast. They play their football games
• 50:46
  Speaker 2: at 10 o'clock in the morning.
• 50:48
  Speaker 12: That's exactly right.
• 50:49
  Speaker 2: Not for me. All right, well, tell me this. Again,
• 50:52
  Speaker 2: you're on vacation in Italy, but I know you're keeping
• 50:54
  Speaker 2: up with this. You're on top of this like nobody else.
• 50:57
  Speaker 2: Tell me what this status hearing is all about. It
• 51:00
  Speaker 2: starts in about two hours in Massachusetts.
• 51:03
  Speaker 8: So a lot is expected to happen today. There are
• 51:06
  Speaker 8: three separate motions filed by the defense, and I think
• 51:09
  Speaker 8: now there's also a gag order that is something that
• 51:13
  Speaker 8: both sides, I.
• 51:14
  Speaker 27: Think, are going to be arguing about to the judge today.
• 51:16
  Speaker 8: So one of the motions filed by Kevin Reddington, who's
• 51:19
  Speaker 8: Lindsey Clancy's attorney, is he has filed a Rule 25 motion,
• 51:23
  Speaker 8: and what that motion is saying is, is that the
• 51:26
  Speaker 8: court should find her not guilty based on the fact
• 51:28
  Speaker 8: that there wasn't enough evidence to convict her at trial.
• 51:31
  Speaker 8: So that's number one. I don't think that's really going anywhere.
• 51:34
  Speaker 8: But Kevin Reddington has a duty to represent his client
• 51:38
  Speaker 8: in the best way that he can. And he needs
• 51:39
  Speaker 8: to file these motions and preserve her rights. And so
• 51:42
  Speaker 8: he's doing that. The other motion he filed is a
• 51:45
  Speaker 8: double jeopardy motion, which is very interesting. We saw this
• 51:48
  Speaker 8: in Karen Reed as well. after a mistrial happened in
• 51:52
  Speaker 8: her first trial. Again, this is another motion I don't
• 51:55
  Speaker 8: think is going to be successful. Then there's a third
• 51:57
  Speaker 8: motion that goes into the juror conduct and things that
• 52:01
  Speaker 8: happen in.
• 52:01
  Speaker 27: The jury room. As we all know, this holdout.
• 52:04
  Speaker 8: Juror Michael Desrenville has hired counsel.
• 52:09
  Speaker 27: Mr.
• 52:10
  Speaker 8: Reddington is asking for all this information from the holdout juror.
• 52:13
  Speaker 8: He wants his phone records because there's been communication that
• 52:17
  Speaker 8: he went on his phone during jury deliberations, which of
• 52:20
  Speaker 8: course should not happen. But here's my question about all
• 52:23
  Speaker 8: of this, Sid. If this had resulted in a guilty,
• 52:25
  Speaker 8: I could understand this. But the fact that this resulted
• 52:29
  Speaker 8: in a mistrial, my question to Kevin.
• 52:31
  Speaker 27: Reddington would be, what remedy are you seeking?
• 52:34
  Speaker 8: I mean, it looks like he's asking for an outright dismissal,
• 52:36
  Speaker 8: which I don't think he's going to get. The remedy,
• 52:39
  Speaker 8: had there been a potential guilty finding, may have been
• 52:44
  Speaker 8: declaring a mistrial. But this notion that I'm not really
• 52:48
  Speaker 8: sure what he's seeking other than him asking the court
• 52:51
  Speaker 8: to just completely dismiss the case, which you would not
• 52:53
  Speaker 8: do even if there was juror misconduct. So there's a
• 52:56
  Speaker 8: lot happening in court today. We are also hearing that
• 53:00
  Speaker 8: there's a good possibility that the motion regarding the juror
• 53:03
  Speaker 8: will get continued to another date. Now that he has counsel,
• 53:06
  Speaker 8: counsel may want to reply. But again, his lawyer is
• 53:09
  Speaker 8: not a party to the proceeding. So although the judge
• 53:13
  Speaker 8: discretionarily can hear from him, it doesn't necessarily mean that
• 53:16
  Speaker 8: anything he says is going to make much difference. So
• 53:19
  Speaker 8: that's what I'm expecting today.
• 53:21
  Speaker 27: But man, there's been a lot of back.
• 53:23
  Speaker 8: And forth on this case since this mistrial was declared
• 53:27
  Speaker 8: and these lawyers going back and forth with each other.
• 53:29
  Speaker 8: I think it's going to be very hard to not
• 53:31
  Speaker 8: only pick a jury in this case moving forward, but
• 53:34
  Speaker 8: any case. I mean, who would want to be a
• 53:35
  Speaker 8: juror after all of this? This is really becoming... Quite
• 53:39
  Speaker 8: the circus. And it does not bode well, I think,
• 53:43
  Speaker 8: for our wonderful system of justice that we have.
• 53:46
  Speaker 2: All right. So I know it's hard to predict these things,
• 53:49
  Speaker 2: but if you had to, Donna, when they finally do
• 53:51
  Speaker 2: put this thing together and we do it again, what
• 53:54
  Speaker 2: do you think the final outcome will be?
• 53:57
  Speaker 8: Well, I think if I was the government here and
• 53:59
  Speaker 8: I was representing the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and I was
• 54:02
  Speaker 8: the DA there, what I would do is I.
• 54:04
  Speaker 12: Would say, look, we have.
• 54:06
  Speaker 27: Seen the community conversation about this. We've seen that there
• 54:10
  Speaker 27: was 11 of.
• 54:11
  Speaker 8: 12 jurors who felt that this was a not guilty
• 54:14
  Speaker 8: by reason of insanity. And therefore, you know, I think
• 54:18
  Speaker 8: even the prosecutors themselves, as the trial progressed, realized that
• 54:22
  Speaker 8: they kind.
• 54:22
  Speaker 27: Of came at it a little too strong in the beginning.
• 54:24
  Speaker 8: And then they gave an excellent closing argument.
• 54:27
  Speaker 12: I would not be.
• 54:27
  Speaker 8: Surprised if the Commonwealth decided to choose, decided to charge
• 54:31
  Speaker 8: her with second degree murder rather than first. I think
• 54:34
  Speaker 8: they have a better chance, frankly, of a conviction on
• 54:37
  Speaker 8: a second degree than they do the first degree case.
• 54:40
  Speaker 8: I mean, remember, they tried to really paint.
• 54:42
  Speaker 27: Her as this. cold-blooded killer that planned this and it
• 54:48
  Speaker 27: was very premeditated.
• 54:49
  Speaker 8: But I think based on the evidence regarding her mental health,
• 54:53
  Speaker 8: I think a second degree would make more sense if
• 54:55
  Speaker 8: you were truly looking for a conviction. So we'll see
• 54:58
  Speaker 8: what they're going to do. They may say, you know what,
• 55:00
  Speaker 8: we believe that this is a first-degree murder case all
• 55:02
  Speaker 8: along and we're going to move along with the same charges.
• 55:05
  Speaker 8: Interesting to see that her ex-husband is now expecting his
• 55:08
  Speaker 8: first child with his new wife, Patrick. That's 60 seconds
• 55:11
  Speaker 8: to go, this Cornell story. Not sure if you're keeping
• 55:12
  Speaker 8: up with this.
• 55:13
  Speaker 27: Again, you're in Italy.
• 55:26
  Speaker 2: Enjoying yourself, but what a disgusting story, and it does
• 55:30
  Speaker 2: look like, at least, I haven't read into all of it,
• 55:32
  Speaker 2: and you know better than me, that Cornell may be
• 55:35
  Speaker 2: somewhat liable here. What is your opinion on this whole ugly,
• 55:39
  Speaker 2: ugly story, 2024 Cornell?
• 55:43
  Speaker 8: It is an ugly story. And, you know, remember, what's
• 55:47
  Speaker 8: legal and what's moral are two different things. And I
• 55:50
  Speaker 8: think that the decision by the prosecutors, and as you know,
• 55:53
  Speaker 8: I've tried more sexual assault cases than probably anyone.
• 55:56
  Speaker 12: You can find.
• 55:57
  Speaker 8: And the issue with sexual assault cases is, you know,
• 56:00
  Speaker 8: consent is always a defense. And I believe that prior
• 56:03
  Speaker 8: to making a decision about charges, when the prosecutors decided
• 56:07
  Speaker 8: We're looking at all the evidence here. They believe that
• 56:09
  Speaker 8: this was a situation where consent was given and it
• 56:12
  Speaker 8: was never withdrawn. And now the reason they're re-looking at
• 56:15
  Speaker 8: this is because of a civil lawsuit that was filed. Now,
• 56:18
  Speaker 8: of course, a civil lawsuit.
• 56:20
  Speaker 27: Is seeking monetary damages.
• 56:22
  Speaker 8: And so they're saying that they're going to re-look.
• 56:25
  Speaker 27: At the case and reopen it.
• 56:26
  Speaker 8: But my question would be, what information actually changed, right?
• 56:31
  Speaker 8: What information is different for the prosecutors other than this
• 56:35
  Speaker 8: claim that she was drugged? Now, I think that in
• 56:39
  Speaker 8: the original investigation, they believed that it was a voluntary intoxication,
• 56:44
  Speaker 8: which under New York law makes a difference in terms
• 56:46
  Speaker 8: of consent. So, you know, we'll see what's going to
• 56:49
  Speaker 8: happen here. You also have to and I am not
• 56:51
  Speaker 8: questioning the victim in any way. But what I am
• 56:54
  Speaker 8: saying is, is if information comes out during a civil
• 56:57
  Speaker 8: lawsuit that was different than what was told to police
• 57:00
  Speaker 8: and criminal investigators, you also have to look at that
• 57:03
  Speaker 8: skeptically and ask yourself why. So, you know, we'll see
• 57:06
  Speaker 8: what they decide to do, but they are reopening it.
• 57:08
  Speaker 8: And if they bring charges, then I'm sure we'll be
• 57:10
  Speaker 8: talking about it.
• 57:11
  Speaker 2: And this young girl alleges that seven frat members at
• 57:15
  Speaker 2: Cornell drugged her and gang raped her, right?
• 57:19
  Speaker 10: Correct.
• 57:19
  Speaker 4: Aye, aye, aye.
• 57:20
  Speaker 2: What a mess. All right.
• 57:22
  Speaker 21: Terrible.
• 57:23
  Speaker 2: Just terrible. Well, you go enjoy yourself in Italy. It's
• 57:26
  Speaker 2: so nice of you to make time for me. I
• 57:27
  Speaker 2: love you. You're great.
• 57:28
  Speaker 14: You really are.
• 57:29
  Speaker 12: Anytime.
• 57:30
  Speaker 2: All right. Go Bears.
• 57:31
  Speaker 21: Go Bears.
• 57:33
  Speaker 2: Thanks, Ed. You're great. Donna Rotuno right there calling us
• 57:36
  Speaker 2: from Italy this morning.
• 57:38
  Speaker 21: She is.
• 57:38
  Speaker 2: Really terrific on Fox News. Really great. And commenting on
• 57:42
  Speaker 2: both the Lindsay Clancy and Cornell trials, Donna Rotuno live
• 57:46
  Speaker 2: from Italy. All right, Lou, that wraps up our number one.
• 57:49
  Speaker 2: We've got a lot more to do this morning. We're
• 57:51
  Speaker 2: going to talk to Rick Scott, the amazing senator and
• 57:54
  Speaker 2: former governor. From the state of Florida, we'll talk to
• 57:56
  Speaker 2: Mike Lawler. What a debate he had last night. Man,
• 58:00
  Speaker 2: did he take Kate Conley to the woodshed. That was
• 58:03
  Speaker 2: a beating I haven't seen since Ray Mancini and Dooku Kim.
• 58:08
  Speaker 2: Mike Lawler will join us today. Bo Dita will be here.
• 58:11
  Speaker 2: And the former great Yankee reliever, Jeff Nellie Nelson. As
• 58:15
  Speaker 2: we get ready for game one, we're doing it again.
• 58:18
  Speaker 2: Yankees and Red Sox in the Bronx.
• 58:21
  Speaker 26: Sid and Friends in the Morning on the Red Apple
• 58:24
  Speaker 26: Podcast Network.
• 58:26
  Speaker 2: I want to go inside the head of Bucky Dent.
• 58:29
  Speaker 2: You walk to the plate, right? And I'm sorry, it's
• 58:32
  Speaker 2: almost like Trump. Trump never thought he was going to
• 58:34
  Speaker 2: win the presidency, okay? Turned out to be the greatest
• 58:37
  Speaker 2: president ever, but he never thought he was going to win.
• 58:39
  Speaker 2: And something tells me I don't think you thought you
• 58:42
  Speaker 2: were going to hit a home run in that spot.
• 58:45
  Speaker 2: So when Bucky Dent actually digs those cleats into the ground...
• 58:50
  Speaker 2: And it's about to face that pitch from Mike Torres.
• 58:53
  Speaker 2: 48 years ago, what were you thinking?
• 58:58
  Speaker 21: I was just trying to get a base hit. You know,
• 58:59
  Speaker 21: we were down. We were down. And, you know, we
• 59:03
  Speaker 21: had two runners on. And I knew it was a situation.
• 59:05
  Speaker 21: The game was, getting late, seventh inning. And, you know,
• 59:10
  Speaker 21: you could feel the tension start to build in the crowd.
• 59:12
  Speaker 21: You know, I mean, everybody would, you could just feel
• 59:14
  Speaker 21: the pressure. And I was just looking to get a
• 59:16
  Speaker 21: base hit. I just wanted to hit a base hit
• 59:18
  Speaker 21: and drive in a run and get us going. And,
• 59:21
  Speaker 21: you know, Mike made a mistake. He threw a fastball
• 59:23
  Speaker 21: down and in, and I hit it pretty good. And
• 59:24
  Speaker 21: I really didn't even know it was going to go out.
• 59:26
  Speaker 21: I was just running hard to get to second base
• 59:28
  Speaker 21: because I knew I was a tying run. But it
• 59:31
  Speaker 21: wound up, you know, Going in the net, and I
• 59:35
  Speaker 21: got a beautiful nickname from that home run, and I
• 59:38
  Speaker 21: love it.
• 59:39
  Speaker 2: F-ing Bucky, right? Is it F-ing Bucky?
• 59:42
  Speaker 21: That's me, baby.
• 59:44
  Speaker 2: 70s teams that beat the Dodgers in 77 to win
• 59:48
  Speaker 2: the World Series. Reggie Jackson, MVP. 78, they beat the
• 59:52
  Speaker 2: Dodgers again. Bucky Dent, the MVP, and got back again
• 59:56
  Speaker 2: in 81. That time they lost to the Dodgers. Now,
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 2: before Bucky and Reggie got there, the Yankees also made
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 2: the World Series in 76, but they got swept by
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 2: the Big Red Machine, the Cincinnati Reds, J.D. Vance's favorite team.
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 2: And that's why Steinbrenner in the offseason went out and
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 2: acquired people like Reggie and Bucky. So Bucky joined me yesterday.
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 2: Now those 90s teams under Joe Torre that went to
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 2: the World Series six times, winning four, beating the Braves twice,
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 2: the Padres and the Mets, and eventually losing in 2001
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 2: to Arizona. and 2003 to the Marlins. One of their
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 2: best players, part of that amazing bullpen, Jeff Nelson, a.k.a. Nelly,
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 2: will join me coming up in about an hour this morning.
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 2: That great bullpen started with John Wetland. He was the
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 2: closer in the first World Series win. Then they made
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 2: Mariano Rivera, who was the setup guy, the closer, and
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 2: the setup guys were Mike Stanton and Jeff Nelson, and
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 2: they were both great. So I'll be in the Bronx
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 2: later on tonight, me, Danielle, Gabriel, and my adopted son,
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 2: Justin Ellick, because he's a big Yankee fan, sitting next
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 2: to Randy Levine tonight as the Yankees and Red Sox
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 2: play game one of that wild card series. And tomorrow,
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 2: just a reminder, I'll be back in New York City.
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 2: That's the Bronx tonight. But I'll be back in New
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 2: York City tomorrow night hosting an event because I really
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 2: like this lady, Caroline Schinkel. She was on this program yesterday.
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 2: She's running for that old Jerry Nadler seat, Congress in Manhattan.
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 2: And we've got a big event. It'll be at Dorian's
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 2: where I hosted an event last month for Joe Hernandez.
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 2: He's running for Comptroller. So most Republicans who run in
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 2: this city reach out to me because they know that
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 2: their chances of winning get exponentially better when they come
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 2: on this show because I've got that type of juice. So,
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 2: for example, some lady named Jen Brown reached out to
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 2: me a couple of weeks ago, and she said, you
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 2: need to bring Christina Fontanelli on the show. Christina, former
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 2: opera singer, actress, big deal, very talented lady, is running
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 2: for assembly now. in District 75 in New York City.
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 2: And that is a very, very big district. You've got
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 2: Times Square as part of that district. You've got Hudson Yards.
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 2: You've got the Gorman District. It's really Manhattan's west side. Chelsea,
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 2: Hell's Kitchen, that whole area. And now, after saying yes...
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 2: Christina will be in studio coming up next. So Sid
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 2: and Friends in the Morning continues to help Republicans get
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 2: wins in what has become a state almost impossible to
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 2: live in. Christina Fontanelli.
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 1: Sid and Friends.
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 3: In the Morning on the Red Apple Podcast Network.
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 2: All right, I mentioned this lady at the end of
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 2: last segment. Her name is Christina Fontanelli. She is running
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 2: right now. for New York State Assembly, specifically District 75,
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 2: which is located on Manhattan's west side. It includes neighborhoods
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 2: like Chelsea, I used to live there, Hell's Kitchen, also
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 2: known as Clinton, Hudson Yards, Carnegie Hall, Central Park, and
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 2: much of Midtown Manhattan, along with portions of the Upper
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 2: West Side. The district also encompasses major commercial and cultural
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 2: areas such such as Times Square. That's a mess. The
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 2: Garment District, not the same. Parts of Hudson Yard, still
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 2: pretty good. Steve Ross did a decent job there. It
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 2: makes it one of the most economically important districts in
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 2: New York City. So with that said, here she is.
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 2: She's also a major superstar, opera singer, TV star, Christina Fontanelli. Christina,
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 2: good morning. How are you?
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 11: Good morning, Sid. Thanks for having me on the show.
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 2: Good to see you. Yes. Thank you. You, um... You're
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 2: an opera singer. You're an actress. You've had success in
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 2: the arts. You've even got your own charity, which is very,
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 2: very cool, which is the Christina Pantonelli Foundation, where you
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 2: try to help out kids who want to do what
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 2: you've done in your career. What makes you go from
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 2: doing all that to run for politics in this godforsaken city?
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 14: What?
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 2: Yes, Sid.
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 11: Honestly, if I had a, such a nice life, just
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 11: being an opera singer, being introduced to people and invited
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 11: for champagne. And I can't stand it anymore. What New
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 11: York is becoming, it's deteriorating before our very eyes. And
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 11: I couldn't stand it. And I saw what was coming
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 11: at us. And I decided I got on a microphone
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 11: last summer. I can't hear myself, but, um, And then
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 11: I said, I've got to do this. Someone said, you
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 11: should run for office. And I said, bingo. The day
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 11: I decided, I saw, anyway, here I am doing the politics.
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 2: So you decided this last summer.
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 14: Right.
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 2: And now you're doing it. And now, correct me if
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 2: I'm wrong, you're running on both the Republican and Independent lines, yes?
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 11: Yes, I am. Especially in my district. It happens to
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 11: be one of the bluest, you know, it's a liberal district.
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 2: I know it well.
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 11: Because it's entertainment and... I am part of the entertainment community.
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 11: I do love all the people. What I don't love
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 11: is what I'm seeing happening every single day in the
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 11: very district where I live.
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 2: But these entertainment people are part of the problem. liberals,
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 2: they hate Israel, they hate New York. So aren't you
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 2: ostracized in that community now?
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 11: Sid, up until now, I just have run a very local,
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 11: all politics is local, and I've been friendly. They seem
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 11: to like me. We have a program that sees what
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 11: people are saying. Everyone seems to like me and are
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 11: looking for a reason to vote for me. And what
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 11: happens is when I speak about the issues that are
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 11: affecting them, their eyes light up, their face lights up,
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 11: and they are not used to hearing anyone present any
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 11: other optional facts.
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 2: Well, let's talk about some of these issues. I think
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 2: the biggest one, especially in that area, there's a lot
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 2: of issues. I used to live on 21st and 8th
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 2: and Chelsea. Know that area very, very well. That was
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 2: the only place where I lived, where I walked down
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 2: the street with my beautiful wife. And I got more
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 2: stares than she does. They love me in Chelsea. Public safety,
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 2: that's a huge issue all over New York City. Tell
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 2: me about that.
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 10: All right.
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 11: So in my district, unfortunately, it's been the hub of
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 11: the most heinous things. The mother was macheted to death
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 11: in Times Square. We have homeless encampments everywhere. I call
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 11: it Russian roulette because we've passed these people. You know
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 11: they're not in their right minds. And you just never
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 11: know when it's your day that they're going to decide
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 11: to come after you or... So we and also a
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 11: young father was now mowed down in Central Park, which
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 11: is part of my district. And I was actually said
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 11: something on Facebook and they wrote I made a mistake.
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 11: I said e-bikes and they said, you know, this is
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 11: another disgusting politician saying the wrong information and using it.
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 11: And then I wrote, I said, I apologize. It was
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 11: an analog bike. I never heard that word analog.
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 2: Have you? No, never. Never.
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 11: So now they're identifying which type of bicycle. And then
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 11: I wrote, I said, well, what's the difference? People are
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 11: not following the laws. They're not paying attention to other people.
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 11: They don't care. We have a spirit of lawlessness on
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 11: the streets.
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 2: That's the bottom line. Housing. I saw Mayor Mamdani last
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 2: night with Jimmy Kimmel going on and on about this
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 2: potential Sunnyside project in Queens. And he seems to think
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 2: that's why him and Trump are getting along so well,
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 2: because they're both about housing and fixing New York. But
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 2: housing is a big issue in your district as well.
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 14: Yes.
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 2: Oh, yes, it is.
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 11: And actually, I'm standing up for the people that live
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 11: in the NYCHA buildings. Now, I am not a world economist.
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 11: I don't want New York to go down the drain economically.
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 11: But what I do know is the politicians that are
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 11: there now, my opponent, they don't care about human beings.
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 2: Well, who's your opponent anyway?
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 11: His name is Tony Simone. It's his third term. He
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 11: was anointed, I'd say. In 2022, it's a Democratic machine.
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 11: He's also on the Working Family Party, which, as far
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 11: as I know, is a DSA. Well, Mamdani was with
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 11: those guys, too.
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 14: Yes.
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 11: He backed Mamdani right out of the bat, right off
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 11: the top without even vetting them with the people.
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 2: Well, what are your thoughts on the mayor?
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 11: I don't trust him. I'm sorry. I'm saying this publicly.
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 2: What do you mean you're sorry? I hate his guts.
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 11: I know.
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 2: I know. Listen, you want to come kill Mamdani, welcome
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 2: to my studios.
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 11: I don't want, you know, Sid, listen, I appreciate you
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 11: so much because you're speaking out and we need you.
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 11: I don't want to kill anyone. I want to see
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 11: New York go back to the way it was, law
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 11: and order, common sense, safety.
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 2: When was that? Well, that's what made, okay. You got
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 2: to go all the way back to Rudy Giuliani. Yes,
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 2: we do. You got to go back like 40 years ago. Yes,
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 2: we do. It wasn't Eric Adams. It wasn't Bill de Blasio.
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 2: Like 40 years ago, Christina.
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 11: And Mayor Bloomberg did a good job when he came.
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 2: He did a good job.
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 4: In.
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 11: And then we started going down this path. But quite frankly,
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 11: to me, what the path is now is much worse
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 11: than it was in the past. We have people that
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 11: are identifying this as a really a terrible situation that
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 11: we're facing. However, the way I'm speaking now It's public
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 11: on your show with so many people listen to. But
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 11: when I am local with my neighbors, they are thrilled
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 11: by me because I'm going to improve employment for actors.
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 11: President Trump now has come out with this motion picture
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 11: television and entertainment revitalization act.
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 2: I saw that.
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 11: So now they you know, there's something positive for my
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 11: community and I'm going to fight for them. And I'm
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 11: going to fight for public safety.
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 2: Do you live in Chelsea?
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 14: No.
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 11: I live in Hell's Kitchen.
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 2: Hell's Kitchen.
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 11: I live at a famous actor's building called Manhattan Plaza.
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 2: Oh, very nice.
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 11: Alicia Keys grew up there. Timothee Chalamet, who's been nominated
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 11: so many times for the Oscar.
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 2: Do you know the man that owns this radio station,
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 2: who's a dear, dear friend of mine?
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 23: He's on.
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 2: Every afternoon at 5 o'clock alongside Rita Cosby. He's also
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 2: on Sunday mornings. He ran for mayor. His name is
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 2: John Katsimatidis. He was in that movie with Timothy Chalamet.
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 2: He was spectacular in that film.
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 11: He really was.
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 2: Marty Supreme. And guess what?
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 11: I go to the health club and Timmy's mama, Nicole,
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 11: is in my health club. And I said, hey, I'm
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 11: going to see John. And I said, John, her best friend.
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 2: Oh, that's cute. Yeah, it's a small world. That is.
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 2: That's quite a building you live in right there.
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 10: Yes, it is.
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 2: But you're a Brooklyn girl, right? I am a Brooklyn girl.
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 2: Because I'm a Brooklyn boy, too.
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 11: There you go.
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 2: I lived on East 22nd and Quentin by Madison High
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 2: School most of my life. Where did you live?
• 1:10:35
  Speaker 11: Well, I was born in Sheepshead Bay.
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 2: My first, when I got married in 1992, my first
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 2: apartment was in Sheepshead Bay. Oh, there you go. Avenue
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 2: UNV and East 8th Street.
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 11: I mean, I love coming from Brooklyn. I had a
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 11: manager once who said, don't tell people you come from Brooklyn.
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 11: I said, I love it. I love that I was
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 11: born in Brooklyn.
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 2: Oh, God, it's the greatest place ever. There are more
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 2: famous people from Brooklyn than any other place in the world,
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 2: I believe. Now, my Brooklyn is different than other people's Brooklyn.
• 1:11:05
  Speaker 2: My Brooklyn is Sheepshead Bay, Bay Ridge, Bensonhurst, Marine Park,
• 1:11:11
  Speaker 2: Mill Basin. This is like Dumbo stuff and all that.
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 2: To me, that's Manhattan. That's not really Brooklyn, right? No.
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 2: That's Manhattan.
• 1:11:19
  Speaker 11: But guess what, Sid? You come from Brooklyn. It's very
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 11: hard to squash any of us from Brooklyn.
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 2: No, I know that. We have the spirit. We are very,
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 2: very tough. We're very, very tough.
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 10: We're tough.
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 2: So we mentioned the housing, the public safety. One more
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 2: issue with me. So I'm having dinner with my son
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 2: last night. He's just an angel. He's going to go
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 2: to college next year. And he said, you know, Daddy,
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 2: my history teacher really likes me. And I go, that's great, Gabriel.
• 1:11:42
  Speaker 2: That's very, very good. He goes, yeah, I think I'm smart. Well,
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 2: you are very smart. You're very, very smart. You're my son.
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 2: And your mother's a genius, too. I said, what were
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 2: you discussing in history today? And he said, yeah, Dad,
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 2: you know. I said, no, I don't know, Gabe. You
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 2: tell me. Slavery. See, I don't understand. In New York City,
• 1:12:01
  Speaker 2: all they want to discuss is slavery and civil rights.
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 2: They very rarely bring up the Holocaust or 9-11 or
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 2: World War I or World War II or Vietnam. My
• 1:12:13
  Speaker 2: kid has been going to public school in New York
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 2: since the sixth grade, and every time I bring up history...
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 2: They discuss civil rights and slavery. That's why our kids
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 2: are morons. Can you help us with education, please? Oh, please, Sid.
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 11: Nothing would make me happier. I have this foundation for
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 11: 23 years. I've worked with children and music and youth. Anyway,
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 11: I do want to mention, I definitely want to help
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 11: with education. It sickens me that our youth, six points
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 11: it dropped.
• 1:12:44
  Speaker 2: Math and science were terrible. The Chinese run circles around us.
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 11: And we better get with it because, you know, but
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 11: they removed that mathematics test. It's not even necessary because
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 11: nobody could pass it. Now it's not a requirement. But
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 11: I do want to mention, I don't know if we're
• 1:13:01
  Speaker 11: going to run out of time. Tomorrow I'm going to
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 11: show up at City Hall. There's a rally for micro
• 1:13:07
  Speaker 11: mobility vehicles, you know. So there is a law that
• 1:13:12
  Speaker 11: there's a group, NYC EVSA, that has been trying to
• 1:13:16
  Speaker 11: pass it for five years to protect people on the street.
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 11: We're having a rally at 9 o'clock. Please join us
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 11: at City Hall. And then at 10 o'clock, I will
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 11: read a live testimony because we are not safe. The
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 11: way they have carved up the streets. You don't know
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 11: where to stand for a cab.
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 2: People are being killed.
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 11: And my overall concern about my opponent, who's been in
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 11: office since 2022, and basically all of what's going on
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 11: there is that they don't care about people's lives.
• 1:13:46
  Speaker 2: They don't care.
• 1:13:47
  Speaker 11: They don't care.
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 2: Democrats don't care. They care about power and money.
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 11: There you go.
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 2: You are just a casualty of war. That's all you want. Now,
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 2: tomorrow night, you should join me. I'm putting on a
• 1:13:57
  Speaker 2: big event.
• 1:13:58
  Speaker 7: I hope to come.
• 1:13:58
  Speaker 2: Caroline Schenkel. I hope to come. Will be at Dorian's
• 1:14:01
  Speaker 2: from 6 to 9.
• 1:14:02
  Speaker 11: She's terrific.
• 1:14:02
  Speaker 2: She's a great lady. She is. So years ago, I
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 2: lived on the Upper West Side. I hated it. And
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 2: they hated me. What did they hate me? I lived
• 1:14:08
  Speaker 2: on 104th and West End. It was during COVID. Okay?
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 2: And I was one of those COVID rebels. Now, I
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 2: did get my shot eventually because I couldn't go to
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 2: a restaurant or a ball game or do my job.
• 1:14:19
  Speaker 2: So I did do that. I'm not an anti-vaxxer. Although,
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 2: over the years, I've become smarter. But I refuse to
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 2: wear a mask ever. So I'm in a building with
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 2: a bunch of old Jews, okay? And they hated my guts.
• 1:14:30
  Speaker 2: So one day I come downstairs. Ridiculous. And I'm friends
• 1:14:33
  Speaker 2: with the doorman. His name is Colbert Perez. And I
• 1:14:36
  Speaker 2: see by the elevator a flyer. And it says with
• 1:14:39
  Speaker 2: my picture, if you see this man, call 911. Now,
• 1:14:43
  Speaker 2: my wife and kids live in that building. They got
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 2: pliers all over the lobby to arrest me. So when
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 2: I got this this morning, wanted Christina Fontanelli, it brought
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 2: back a Sid Rosenberg memory from six years ago.
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 11: So I think we made it, right, Sid? Because when
• 1:14:59
  Speaker 11: they start coming after you.
• 1:15:00
  Speaker 2: I'm firing. Well, who did this?
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 11: Well, actually, it's somebody that's against me. They did it
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 11: in the spring. They put it up on posters. And
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 11: then recently I heard they're putting it under the doors
• 1:15:10
  Speaker 11: of my neighbors, which actually is illegal because the man
• 1:15:13
  Speaker 11: that I think did it has been... You know, there's issues.
• 1:15:17
  Speaker 2: There's issues.
• 1:15:17
  Speaker 11: I don't want to say the things if I don't
• 1:15:19
  Speaker 11: know what I'm, you know, I think I know who
• 1:15:21
  Speaker 11: it is.
• 1:15:22
  Speaker 2: But you got to go after him. He writes on this.
• 1:15:24
  Speaker 2: Here's your picture. Wanted charges, wage theft, grand larceny, election fraud.
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 2: I mean, this is not cute. No, it's not. You
• 1:15:33
  Speaker 2: got to go bash this guy's brains in.
• 1:15:34
  Speaker 11: Yeah, I think I have to. Someone said to bring
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 11: it to the Justice Department because now they're they're looking
• 1:15:39
  Speaker 11: into anything that's against elections fraud. Like, you know, skewing
• 1:15:43
  Speaker 11: the election.
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 2: Well, you're not saying Tony Simone did this, are you? Well. Christina,
• 1:15:48
  Speaker 2: come on. Show me some balls here right now.
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 14: I know.
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 11: I'm not going to accuse Tony Simone of doing it,
• 1:15:52
  Speaker 11: but his side definitely did it. Let's face it. But
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 11: guess what? I'm not a politician. I must be making
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 11: them nervous. Because, I mean, if that's what they put out,
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 11: I'm making them nervous. And I'm not a rich person.
• 1:16:05
  Speaker 11: I took my own money. I took care of my
• 1:16:06
  Speaker 11: mother with polio. I nursed people. I worked with children.
• 1:16:10
  Speaker 11: He's rich and I'm not. And they're coming after me.
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 11: I must be doing something right. And it's like David
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 11: and Goliath. And guess who won that one?
• 1:16:19
  Speaker 2: I'm David.
• 1:16:20
  Speaker 11: So he won.
• 1:16:22
  Speaker 2: You're going to win this one. You're going to win
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 2: the war. That's all. So for people who want to
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 2: help you today and send some money your way and
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 2: help you win your effort here, Christina, how do they
• 1:16:30
  Speaker 2: do that?
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 11: Oh, please send me something because I need it.
• 1:16:34
  Speaker 2: Please, I'm begging you.
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 11: Please, please. So my website is Christina Fontanelli, the number 4NY.
• 1:16:42
  Speaker 11: It's a long Italian name, but I'm all over the Internet.
• 1:16:45
  Speaker 11: So it's C-R-I-S-T-I-N-A. F-O-N-T-A-N-E-L-L-I, the number 4-N-Y dot com. And
• 1:16:55
  Speaker 11: I really can use donations because I must take advertising.
• 1:16:59
  Speaker 7: Of course.
• 1:16:59
  Speaker 2: Okay, well, you just got the biggest advertising of all
• 1:17:02

  Speaker 11: Sid, can I do something for you? I have something special,
• 1:17:08
  Speaker 11: just very short.

  Speaker 2: Okay. A Yiddish mama, es gibt nicht besser auf der Welt.
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 11: And I'll sing you the rest.
• 1:17:27
  Speaker 23: Wow.

  Speaker 11: You know how I learned that?
• 1:17:30
  Speaker 21: Good.
• 1:17:31
  Speaker 11: I used to go to the Catskill Mountains to pay
• 1:17:33
  Speaker 11: for my voice lessons.
• 1:17:34
  Speaker 2: Everybody did. The Borscht Belt. I'm still up there, you know,
• 1:17:36
  Speaker 2: every summer.

• 1:17:54
  Speaker 2: you're very proud. That was awesome, by the way. You've
• 1:17:56
  Speaker 2: got a beautiful voice. You want to see Mom Donnie
• 1:17:58

• 1:18:00
  Speaker 12: No.
• 1:18:01
  Speaker 2: Okay, good. That's all I want to hear.
• 1:18:02

• 1:18:08
  Speaker 2: running in District 75. Take out this louse, Tony Simone,
• 1:18:12
  Speaker 2: another rotten Democrat that's ruining our city, and go vote
• 1:18:15
  Speaker 2: for our friend, Christina Fontanelli. Great job. Thank you so much.
• 1:18:19
  Speaker 2: God bless you. Both deals coming up next. We'll also
• 1:18:21
  Speaker 2: talk to the great Yankee reliever, Jeff Nelson. Yankees-Red Sox
• 1:18:25
  Speaker 2: game one. I'll be there tonight in the Bronx. Also,
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 2: Mike Lawler stopping by and the great senator, former governor
• 1:18:31
  Speaker 2: from the state of Florida, Rick Scott. All that still
• 1:18:33
  Speaker 2: to come.
• 1:18:34
  Speaker 26: Sid and Friends in the Morning on the Red Apple
• 1:18:38
  Speaker 26: Podcast Network.
• 1:18:40
  Speaker 2: One is my buddy on Staten Island, Scott Lobato. Actually
• 1:18:43
  Speaker 2: had a heart attack one night yelling and screaming at
• 1:18:46
  Speaker 2: the mayor. Bo Dietl is one of those guys. He's amazing.
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 2: on the show every Tuesday. It's an immensely popular segment.
• 1:18:54
  Speaker 2: And not a Tuesday goes by where he doesn't hammer
• 1:18:57
  Speaker 2: the mayor. And they started the show this morning way
• 1:19:01
  Speaker 2: back at 6 o'clock playing a clip. It was more
• 1:19:05
  Speaker 2: than a clip. It was 3 minutes and 41 seconds
• 1:19:07
  Speaker 2: long of this mayor saying, on Jimmy Kimmel's show last night.
• 1:19:12
  Speaker 2: Jimmy Kimmel, the unfunny hack Jimmy Kimmel, he does his
• 1:19:17
  Speaker 2: show from L.A., but he does a one-week special from
• 1:19:21
  Speaker 2: Brooklyn because I guess he was born in Brooklyn. I
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 2: don't know. There's nothing Brooklyn about Jimmy Kimmel. So he
• 1:19:27
  Speaker 2: did his first Brooklyn show last night, and he had
• 1:19:29
  Speaker 2: the mayor on live, and they were yucking it up,
• 1:19:31
  Speaker 2: and the mayor was talking about President Trump. You guys
• 1:19:35
  Speaker 2: know that makes my blood boil. I'm pretty convinced... President
• 1:19:39
  Speaker 2: Trump is a little angry with me, a little bit,
• 1:19:42
  Speaker 2: not a lot, little, because I was really pissed last
• 1:19:45
  Speaker 2: Monday when the president went to Gracie Mansion, not only
• 1:19:49
  Speaker 2: went there, but said things like, this guy has potential
• 1:19:53
  Speaker 2: to be a great mayor. Really? I asked him this morning,
• 1:19:57
  Speaker 2: two hours ago, give me two or three things the
• 1:19:59
  Speaker 2: guy's done. He couldn't do it. He couldn't even do it.
• 1:20:03
  Speaker 2: But Kimmel called him a great mayor last night. President
• 1:20:06
  Speaker 2: Trump was... all about complimenting him a week ago, and
• 1:20:10
  Speaker 2: I can't do it. Now, I admit I'm biased. Even
• 1:20:13
  Speaker 2: if he does something good, I'll have a hard time
• 1:20:15
  Speaker 2: giving him credit because he's a terrorist. He's a terrible person.
• 1:20:20
  Speaker 2: A terrible person. So I admit it. Maybe Bo Dietl
• 1:20:24
  Speaker 2: is better than me. Bo, if the mayor does something
• 1:20:27
  Speaker 2: that most people deem good, will you be able to
• 1:20:30
  Speaker 2: give him credit for that?
• 1:20:33
  Speaker 10: You know, Sid, this morning I decided.
• 1:20:35
  Speaker 12: I decided I'm going.
• 1:20:36
  Speaker 10: To come on and not yell. I got specific stuff.
• 1:20:40
  Speaker 10: And I'm real angry about that little creep smiley face
• 1:20:43
  Speaker 10: going and being up there with our president up in
• 1:20:46
  Speaker 10: Gracie Mansion with this piece of garbage. Cute. I listened
• 1:20:50
  Speaker 10: to you this morning. No one must be smoking crack
• 1:20:53
  Speaker 10: in the back. He's cute. He's cute. Like what I
• 1:20:56
  Speaker 10: just did in the toilet bowl in the back. That's
• 1:20:59
  Speaker 10: what's cute. This guy is like Jim Jones. All those people,
• 1:21:03
  Speaker 10: a thousand people in Guyana that drank the damn Kool-Aid
• 1:21:06
  Speaker 10: with him smiling. Come on, have a little bit more Kool-Aid.
• 1:21:10
  Speaker 10: Don't worry. And they all died. And that's exactly what
• 1:21:13
  Speaker 10: this creep is doing. He has that smile. Oh, he's cute.
• 1:21:17
  Speaker 10: He's nice. He's this. He's this. He's the Pied Piper.
• 1:21:21
  Speaker 10: And all these fools are believing him. He could run
• 1:21:24
  Speaker 10: tomorrow and win in a landslide in his shop. stupid
• 1:21:27
  Speaker 10: city of stupid people. I'm going to give you some
• 1:21:30
  Speaker 10: of the little incidents that's happened. You know, he's a
• 1:21:33
  Speaker 10: fool little child. He's an uneducated little punk that never
• 1:21:38
  Speaker 10: ran anything. Now you give him the keys. He's got
• 1:21:41
  Speaker 10: all those other commie scumbags around. He He made sure
• 1:21:45
  Speaker 10: he has all these little commie scumbags around. And then
• 1:21:48
  Speaker 10: all of a sudden when I saw him down at
• 1:21:50
  Speaker 10: Ground Zero at the 25th, I don't want to call
• 1:21:53
  Speaker 10: it anniversary, 25th memorial of 9-11, he wasn't smiling at
• 1:21:58
  Speaker 10: me because he remembered when I put my finger in
• 1:22:00
  Speaker 10: his face outside of the Oval Office and said, stop
• 1:22:03
  Speaker 10: effing with the cops on top of that. He wants
• 1:22:05
  Speaker 10: to get rid of the anti-terrorism group? Hey, fool. There
• 1:22:09
  Speaker 10: are plots right now as we speak, idiot, that they
• 1:22:13
  Speaker 10: are going to make an attack on New York City.
• 1:22:15
  Speaker 10: Do you understand? Listen to me carefully. So when it happens,
• 1:22:18
  Speaker 10: you fool, all you can do is stand there and
• 1:22:21
  Speaker 10: smile and all those other fools around you.
• 1:22:23
  Speaker 12: And now.
• 1:22:24
  Speaker 2: By the way, no one's talking about that. I'm glad
• 1:22:26
  Speaker 2: you brought that up. I don't hear Katie Honan talking
• 1:22:29
  Speaker 2: about that or Marsha Kramer or Morgan McKay or Melissa Russo.
• 1:22:34
  Speaker 2: This guy wants to get rid of, Bo just talked about,
• 1:22:37
  Speaker 2: the counterterrorism unit in a city that was crippled 25
• 1:22:41
  Speaker 2: years ago and deals with terrorist threats. Ask Jessica Tisch
• 1:22:45
  Speaker 2: and the FBI every single day, and this guy just
• 1:22:49
  Speaker 2: doesn't care. But of course... Don't count on the local
• 1:22:52
  Speaker 2: media to share that story, Bo, because they just won't.
• 1:22:55
  Speaker 10: Now, I'm going to say something now. A lot of
• 1:22:57
  Speaker 10: people are going to get mad at me. You know what?
• 1:22:59
  Speaker 10: Get mad at me. I gave my blood in this city.
• 1:23:02
  Speaker 10: I was hospitalized 30 times, fractured skulls, stabbed, and all
• 1:23:05
  Speaker 10: that crap. I love the New York City Police Department.
• 1:23:09
  Speaker 10: Commissioner Tisch, please. The quality of our police department, and
• 1:23:14
  Speaker 10: no one wants to admit it, has gone down. The
• 1:23:17
  Speaker 10: physical appearance... Them sitting on the street. Some of these
• 1:23:20
  Speaker 10: cops are no more than four foot tall. And what
• 1:23:22
  Speaker 10: they do is they look at their cell phones. They
• 1:23:24
  Speaker 10: never pop up the thing. You should ban private cell
• 1:23:27
  Speaker 10: phones except for an emergency with these damn cops out there.
• 1:23:31
  Speaker 10: I am disgraced looking at what happened with the UN.
• 1:23:34
  Speaker 10: You had a conglomerate. I think they opened up a
• 1:23:36
  Speaker 10: cell over there in Rikers Island and gave them police uniforms.
• 1:23:40
  Speaker 10: Because I'm going to tell you another dirty little secret.
• 1:23:42
  Speaker 10: In the academy, and let someone knock what I'm saying.
• 1:23:46
  Speaker 10: In the academy, they're told they will pass all physical requirements.
• 1:23:50
  Speaker 10: They will pass academics. Here's your uniform. Get out on
• 1:23:54
  Speaker 10: the streets. This is what we're doing. We had the
• 1:23:56
  Speaker 10: greatest police department in the world. Commissioner Tisch, please, please
• 1:24:01
  Speaker 10: straighten it out. When I saw the conglomerate, it looked
• 1:24:04
  Speaker 10: like the Star Wars scene from that movie with these
• 1:24:07
  Speaker 10: cops out there. They looked disgusting. They're standing there. This
• 1:24:12
  Speaker 10: is a paramilitary organization. We've gone downhill. All they care
• 1:24:16
  Speaker 10: about is put a body in a uniform, give them
• 1:24:19
  Speaker 10: a uniform, don't get involved, have your cell phone, look
• 1:24:22
  Speaker 10: at cartoons, and this is what's going on. And this
• 1:24:25
  Speaker 10: is part of the agenda. This is part of the
• 1:24:28
  Speaker 10: agenda with the DEI and all these other things. They
• 1:24:32
  Speaker 10: got transformers, whatever they want on the police. I don't
• 1:24:35
  Speaker 10: care about that. I care about a good professional police department.
• 1:24:39
  Speaker 10: And here, now they're going after the psychological value of people.
• 1:24:44
  Speaker 10: People don't get their news charted on Channel 2, Channel 4,
• 1:24:48
  Speaker 10: Channel 5. They don't get their news there. What they do,
• 1:24:51
  Speaker 10: they get it from social media. Now this scumbag, Mayor Mondami,
• 1:24:55
  Speaker 10: has 200 paid influencers. And what they're doing right now,
• 1:24:59
  Speaker 10: they're attacking CEOs or executives, targeting people like Pfizer, related companies,
• 1:25:05
  Speaker 10: Jamie Dimon. And they have these 200 influencers being paid,
• 1:25:09
  Speaker 10: being paid by the Office of Mass Engagement. People, do
• 1:25:13
  Speaker 10: you understand what I'm saying? There's an Office of Mass
• 1:25:16
  Speaker 10: Engagement that works out of City Hall. It's the communist
• 1:25:20
  Speaker 10: propaganda wing where they're going after people with money and businesses.
• 1:25:24
  Speaker 10: And what's going to happen when one of these nuts
• 1:25:27
  Speaker 10: take a gun out and shoot another CEO? We forget
• 1:25:30
  Speaker 10: very fast with UnitedHealthcare when that poor man was shot
• 1:25:33
  Speaker 10: in the back because of some scumbag. But you know what?
• 1:25:36
  Speaker 10: No one cares because no one put their finger on
• 1:25:39
  Speaker 10: this thing. And I got a couple of things that
• 1:25:41
  Speaker 10: are important. Our veterans, listen to this one. Our veterans
• 1:25:45
  Speaker 10: that we all love, I don't care who you are,
• 1:25:47
  Speaker 10: you've got to love veterans. All of a sudden, Transformer
• 1:25:50
  Speaker 10: head there, Mondami, Mayor Mondami, has stopped. The $ 4 million
• 1:25:56
  Speaker 10: that comes annually for disabled homeless vets. You know why?
• 1:26:00
  Speaker 10: Because Trump said he doesn't want to give any money
• 1:26:02
  Speaker 10: to these Transformers. So little Mondani cuts the $ 4 million
• 1:26:07
  Speaker 10: off for the poor veterans that are out there homeless.
• 1:26:09
  Speaker 10: And he's stopping the money from going to the regular
• 1:26:12
  Speaker 10: veterans because Trump doesn't want to give it to the Transformers.
• 1:26:16
  Speaker 2: And by the way, city council very upset about that.
• 1:26:18
  Speaker 2: I saw Frank Marano very early this morning about 545
• 1:26:22
  Speaker 2: doing an interview with Todd Pyro on Fox News, and
• 1:26:24
  Speaker 2: he was hammering the mayor for this.
• 1:26:27
  Speaker 10: And I got a couple more things. Please sit there
• 1:26:29
  Speaker 10: with me. Bear with me, please. And then all of
• 1:26:31
  Speaker 10: a sudden we're talking about the controller candidate Hernandez. He's
• 1:26:35
  Speaker 10: talking about the Medicaid spending in this thing. No one
• 1:26:39
  Speaker 10: no one's dealing with this. It went from 51 billion
• 1:26:41
  Speaker 10: to 115 billion by fiscal year 2025.
• 1:26:42
  Speaker 18: We're in it.
• 1:26:43
  Speaker 10: $ 115 billion. Where is the Attorney General? Where are all
• 1:26:52
  Speaker 10: these people cutting down with the fraud going on? The
• 1:26:55
  Speaker 10: current budget funds about $ 122 billion for Medicaid of the
• 1:26:59
  Speaker 10: New York State thing. It's 44% above the national average.
• 1:27:02
  Speaker 10: No one wants to look at it. And what does
• 1:27:04
  Speaker 10: this guy do? He stands there and smiles. And then
• 1:27:07
  Speaker 10: all of a sudden... You know, our pension plans. I
• 1:27:09
  Speaker 10: get a pension. I get a lousy pension. I get $ 2, 400
• 1:27:12
  Speaker 10: a month. Yeah, I don't have a disability pension. I
• 1:27:15
  Speaker 10: didn't put in for disability. I jumped out of a
• 1:27:17
  Speaker 10: plane with a couple of cow heads and broke my leg.
• 1:27:20
  Speaker 10: I was in the hospital 30 times. I could have
• 1:27:22
  Speaker 10: gotten it. I had injuries, but I didn't take it.
• 1:27:24
  Speaker 10: But now people who are out on pensions, cops... Firemen,
• 1:27:28
  Speaker 10: all of a sudden they're taking $ 164 billion out of
• 1:27:32
  Speaker 10: the 2026 thing. This is money in your pensions. So
• 1:27:36
  Speaker 10: what really can happen, he'll keep going at the pensions, Mondami,
• 1:27:39
  Speaker 10: to get money for his socialist crap. And on top
• 1:27:43
  Speaker 10: of that, big, big night coming up. Mondami is going
• 1:27:46
  Speaker 10: to introduce Brad Landers, going to be there, Jamal Bowman,
• 1:27:49
  Speaker 10: all these scumbag commies. They're having a fundraiser for Abdul
• 1:27:54
  Speaker 10: Al-Assid from Michigan. And he's coming to our city and
• 1:27:58
  Speaker 10: schmuck Schumer $ 30 million to help Al-Assid get in there.
• 1:28:02
  Speaker 10: This is what's going on right before our eyes. And
• 1:28:06
  Speaker 10: somebody brought up about a little scumbag named Hitler. You
• 1:28:09
  Speaker 10: know what? He had a nice mild tooth. And you
• 1:28:12
  Speaker 10: know what? Who said he was cute? One of my
• 1:28:15
  Speaker 10: guys over there. Who said he was cute?
• 1:28:19
  Speaker 2: I don't think anybody said Hitler was cute.
• 1:28:20
  Speaker 10: No, Noam said he's cute. And no, so was Hitler cute.
• 1:28:26
  Speaker 10: On top of it. Listen to this one. All right.
• 1:28:29
  Speaker 10: He pulled the NYPD away from these homeless encampments. Now
• 1:28:33
  Speaker 10: we all of a sudden, he was going to, another
• 1:28:36
  Speaker 10: one is blies.
• 1:28:37
  Speaker 18: I'm going to put $ 1.
• 1:28:38
  Speaker 10: Billion in the Department of Community Safety. Hasn't been funded.
• 1:28:42
  Speaker 10: There's $ 4. 5 billion annually for these nonprofits. You know what
• 1:28:46
  Speaker 10: these nonprofits are? The same as Mayor Big Bird de
• 1:28:50
  Speaker 10: Blasio's old lady here, Operation Thrive. We don't know what
• 1:28:53
  Speaker 10: she did with the billion dollars. You don't hear something
• 1:28:56
  Speaker 10: from Big Bird or his ugly wife because they stole
• 1:28:59
  Speaker 10: that money. And all of a sudden, now with the rent,
• 1:29:01
  Speaker 10: a landlord listed his one-bedroom apartment for $ 1, 700 a month.
• 1:29:07
  Speaker 10: All of a sudden, the scumbag from the city said, oh, no,
• 1:29:10
  Speaker 10: you've got to bring it up to $ 2, 600. We'll give
• 1:29:12
  Speaker 10: you $ 664 out of New York City. You're charging too much.
• 1:29:18
  Speaker 10: That's why you can't find an apartment. It's all being
• 1:29:20
  Speaker 10: done before you arrive. And all these idiot landlords who
• 1:29:24
  Speaker 10: support that smiley face piece of garbage. Our electricity in
• 1:29:28
  Speaker 10: New York State, that's why we got to vote for Blightman.
• 1:29:31
  Speaker 10: Our electricity is 70% above the national average. Two more
• 1:29:35
  Speaker 10: things and I'll go, okay? All I know is Hochul,
• 1:29:39
  Speaker 10: Snaggletooth Hochul, needs Mondami's votes to get her program there.
• 1:29:45
  Speaker 10: New York City faces $ 7 billion budget gap next year.
• 1:29:48
  Speaker 10: So he's going to suck on Snaggletooth there to get
• 1:29:52
  Speaker 10: state money. State money budget is closing in on $ 300 billion.
• 1:29:57
  Speaker 10: And you know what? Who's going to pay for these
• 1:30:00
  Speaker 10: social programs? And now you've got a police department. running
• 1:30:03
  Speaker 10: around out there ineffective. Yes, ineffective. These kids are standing
• 1:30:07
  Speaker 10: out there. They should trip them up, work them out,
• 1:30:09
  Speaker 10: fail them in these academies. You can't do... I just
• 1:30:12
  Speaker 10: did 85 push-ups. I'm 75 years old. Get them down
• 1:30:15
  Speaker 10: there and let them do push-ups. And then all of
• 1:30:17
  Speaker 10: a sudden we're talking about... A $ 30 million a year
• 1:30:20
  Speaker 10: tax credit for local news outlets. Oh, this is the
• 1:30:23
  Speaker 10: most important one. These people, these people get paid to
• 1:30:27
  Speaker 10: news outlets, $ 50, 000 salary, up to $ 300, 000 annually for these
• 1:30:32
  Speaker 10: news outlets. So they control, just like the commies did.
• 1:30:37
  Speaker 10: Just like the Communist Party did. Control the news media.
• 1:30:40
  Speaker 10: Now they got the social media. They're controlled. And we're
• 1:30:44
  Speaker 10: just sitting there like lambs ready to get slaughtered. We
• 1:30:47
  Speaker 10: must vote for Bruce Blankman. We must go against this
• 1:30:51
  Speaker 10: communist scumbag smiley face.
• 1:30:54
  Speaker 2: Good night. Bo Dietl, another great appearance. And thank God
• 1:31:00
  Speaker 2: you didn't yell this time. He did tell us before
• 1:31:02
  Speaker 2: he started he was not going to yell this time.
• 1:31:04
  Speaker 6: Yeah, that was pipe dreamer.
• 1:31:07
  Speaker 2: But he's right about everything he said, man. He's right.
• 1:31:09
  Speaker 2: Bruce Blakeman, you heard Bruce Blakeman's commercial here just right
• 1:31:13
  Speaker 2: before Bo Dietl came on. Bruce Blakeman was on with
• 1:31:15
  Speaker 2: me yesterday for a good 20 minutes. He's got to win.
• 1:31:19
  Speaker 2: That's the bottom line. I know we want our Congress
• 1:31:22
  Speaker 2: people to win. We want our Assembly people to win.
• 1:31:25
  Speaker 2: We want all of our folks to win, but Bruce
• 1:31:27
  Speaker 2: Blakeman really needs to win, or the Hoko slash Mamdani
• 1:31:34
  Speaker 2: New York plan will go into effect. And even some
• 1:31:38
  Speaker 2: of the things, to Bo Dito's point... That Kathy Hochul
• 1:31:41
  Speaker 2: says now she won't do because she knows it'll hurt
• 1:31:45
  Speaker 2: her in her election bid. She will absolutely do if,
• 1:31:50
  Speaker 2: in fact, she beats Bruce Blakeman. So Bo pointed out
• 1:31:54
  Speaker 2: all the issues, the monies, the social programs, where the
• 1:31:59
  Speaker 2: money's really going. And if that doesn't scare you, I
• 1:32:03
  Speaker 2: don't know what will. So we'll take a break. Great
• 1:32:06
  Speaker 2: job as always, Bo Dietl. We love you. We'll get
• 1:32:08
  Speaker 2: the news when we get back. A little fun. Not
• 1:32:11
  Speaker 2: everything is so bad in this city. I'll be in
• 1:32:13
  Speaker 2: the Bronx later on tonight with Danielle, Gabriel, Justin, and
• 1:32:17
  Speaker 2: Randy Levine watching the Yankees take on the Boston Red
• 1:32:20
  Speaker 2: Sox in game one of the AL Wild Card Series.
• 1:32:24
  Speaker 2: Seventh time Yankees and Red Sox meet.
• 1:32:27
  Speaker 26: Sid and friends in the morning on the Red Apple
• 1:32:31
  Speaker 26: Podcast Network.
• 1:32:33
  Speaker 2: They did it in style back home in Dublin, Ireland.
• 1:32:36
  Speaker 2: Right there. And they even went back to their old
• 1:32:39
  Speaker 2: high school, and they put on some show. Out of nowhere,
• 1:32:43
  Speaker 2: it was not announced. They did about five or six songs,
• 1:32:47
  Speaker 2: and I believe this one was one of the songs
• 1:32:50
  Speaker 2: they performed. Is that right?
• 1:32:51
  Speaker 4: That is true.
• 1:32:52
  Speaker 28: Yeah.
• 1:32:52
  Speaker 6: Did you watch this yet?
• 1:32:53
  Speaker 2: I have not watched it yet, no. Is it great?
• 1:32:56
  Speaker 6: Yeah, it looks pretty cool.
• 1:32:57
  Speaker 2: And actually, there's... No, I saw Bono. I saw one
• 1:32:59
  Speaker 2: video of Bono, sleeveless shirt, I think wearing red, the glasses,
• 1:33:03
  Speaker 2: all that. Was that right?
• 1:33:04
  Speaker 6: No, he's in a dark jacket.
• 1:33:06
  Speaker 2: Okay, I didn't see that. Okay. I'm confused.
• 1:33:08
  Speaker 6: They showed a picture side by side of when they
• 1:33:12
  Speaker 6: were first out there.
• 1:33:13
  Speaker 2: Nice.
• 1:33:14
  Speaker 6: And you could see Bono, long hair... And the band there.
• 1:33:19
  Speaker 2: Well, he had like a mullet back then.
• 1:33:21
  Speaker 6: Yeah, but this is even more.
• 1:33:23
  Speaker 2: Even before that.
• 1:33:23
  Speaker 6: Front and back.
• 1:33:25
  Speaker 2: Well, you said that the drummer, I like that guy
• 1:33:27
  Speaker 2: a lot. Larry Mullen Jr. actually started the band, right?
• 1:33:30
  Speaker 1: They put up an ad, actually.
• 1:33:32
  Speaker 2: Amazing. I would have thought the Edge started that band
• 1:33:35
  Speaker 2: for some reason, but I guess not. The Edge, Adam Clayton,
• 1:33:39
  Speaker 2: Larry Mullen Jr., and Bono. That is you two. So
• 1:33:42
  Speaker 2: the Yankees and Red Sox, I'll be there tonight with
• 1:33:44
  Speaker 2: my new best friend, Randy Levine. That's my guy. And
• 1:33:48
  Speaker 2: we're excited about this. Great history. Bucky Dent was on
• 1:33:51
  Speaker 2: this show yesterday. I called Johnny Damon, but Johnny's on
• 1:33:54
  Speaker 2: his way to like Thailand or something today. I swear
• 1:33:57
  Speaker 2: to God. But I saw my friend Jeff Nelson. This
• 1:34:01
  Speaker 2: is great. I go upstate to see my mother July 4th.
• 1:34:05
  Speaker 2: You remember this. So we go to Bethel Woods. We
• 1:34:07
  Speaker 2: go every year. My my son, my wife, my daughter.
• 1:34:11
  Speaker 2: And we went to see the Doobie Brothers this year.
• 1:34:14
  Speaker 2: And who's sitting three rows behind me? Nelly, the former
• 1:34:18
  Speaker 2: great Yankee reliever, Jeff Nelson. I'm going to say this.
• 1:34:21
  Speaker 2: One of the best trades the Yankees ever made. They
• 1:34:24
  Speaker 2: made a couple of good trades. I think Babe Ruth
• 1:34:26
  Speaker 2: was a pretty good one, right? But one of the
• 1:34:28
  Speaker 2: best trades they ever made after the 95 season, they
• 1:34:32
  Speaker 2: acquired Jeff Nelson and Tino Martinez from Seattle for a
• 1:34:38
  Speaker 2: minor league pitcher named Jim Messier. Keno went on to
• 1:34:41
  Speaker 2: have great years with the Yanks, and so did Jeff Nelson.
• 1:34:44
  Speaker 2: So we'll take a short break before Mike Lawler joins us,
• 1:34:47
  Speaker 2: the great senator from Florida, Rick Scott, joins us. We'll
• 1:34:50
  Speaker 2: talk to the all-time great Yankee reliever.
• 1:34:53
  Speaker 26: Sid and friends in the morning on the Red Apple
• 1:34:57
  Speaker 26: Podcast Network.
• 1:34:59
  Speaker 2: Game one of the Yankees and Red Sox in the Bronx.
• 1:35:03
  Speaker 2: Later on tonight, Yankee hero Jeff Nelson. Jeff, good morning, buddy.
• 1:35:06
  Speaker 2: How are you?
• 1:35:07
  Speaker 18: Good morning, Sid.
• 1:35:08
  Speaker 23: I'm doing great. Thanks for having me.
• 1:35:10
  Speaker 2: It's great to have you. Did you actually make it
• 1:35:13
  Speaker 2: through the whole Doobie Brothers concert? I'm not going to
• 1:35:16
  Speaker 2: lie to you. The rain delay forced us out early.
• 1:35:18
  Speaker 2: Did you sit through the whole thing?
• 1:35:19
  Speaker 23: Well, the Doobie Brothers, yes, but Santana only made it
• 1:35:23
  Speaker 23: like halfway, and then we left.
• 1:35:27
  Speaker 2: That was crazy, right?
• 1:35:29
  Speaker 23: Oh, I know. Was it an hour delay or whatever?
• 1:35:31
  Speaker 18: Yeah.
• 1:35:32
  Speaker 2: It was long. It was long. I mean, now I
• 1:35:34
  Speaker 2: know what you guys must have done.
• 1:35:35
  Speaker 23: You guys had to cut their set a little bit.
• 1:35:36
  Speaker 7: Right.
• 1:35:37
  Speaker 23: Because of Santana.
• 1:35:38
  Speaker 2: I know. So now I know what you guys must
• 1:35:40
  Speaker 2: have gone through during rain delays during baseball games. I mean,
• 1:35:43
  Speaker 2: how do you come back out with the same enthusiasm?
• 1:35:46
  Speaker 10: You don't.
• 1:35:47
  Speaker 23: You're absolutely right.
• 1:35:48
  Speaker 10: You don't.
• 1:35:48
  Speaker 23: You're like, oh my gosh, this is dragging. Cancel the game.
• 1:35:50
  Speaker 23: Let's come back tomorrow.
• 1:35:53
  Speaker 2: I know. I kept thinking about you with the rain
• 1:35:55
  Speaker 2: delay with Yankee Stadium when the Doobie Brothers were behind stage.
• 1:35:58
  Speaker 2: It was lightning up there in upstate New York. So
• 1:36:01
  Speaker 2: here we go again, Jeff. I mean, look, obviously you
• 1:36:05
  Speaker 2: won all those World Series with the Yankees. But back then,
• 1:36:07
  Speaker 2: it wasn't like Yankees-Red Sox. That did happen, obviously, in 2003.
• 1:36:10
  Speaker 2: You were gone by that. Oh, you were actually back
• 1:36:13
  Speaker 2: that year. But Yankees-Red Sox has always been huge, more
• 1:36:17
  Speaker 2: like the 70s teams, obviously, Bucky Dent and Zimmer and
• 1:36:21
  Speaker 2: those guys. But for you as a former Yankee star,
• 1:36:24
  Speaker 2: any time you played Boston, it was a big deal, yes?
• 1:36:28
  Speaker 23: Oh, absolutely, because, Mr. Steinbrenner, there was like three teams
• 1:36:30
  Speaker 23: you had to beat. It was the Mets, the Red Sox,
• 1:36:32
  Speaker 23: and the Rays. And if you didn't, then you didn't
• 1:36:35
  Speaker 23: want to show your face around Yankee Stadium. That's the
• 1:36:39
  Speaker 23: three teams that he took. the most serious, but you know,
• 1:36:42
  Speaker 23: the media and the fans really build up the rivalry
• 1:36:45
  Speaker 23: more than the players. And when we wanted to beat everyone,
• 1:36:47
  Speaker 23: but it was, it was pretty special one. I think more,
• 1:36:51
  Speaker 23: more so than the Mets Yankees, but the Red Sox
• 1:36:54
  Speaker 23: Yankees was always a huge rivalry.
• 1:36:56
  Speaker 10: Funny.
• 1:36:56
  Speaker 2: You say Red Sox. We know why that's the case.
• 1:36:58
  Speaker 2: Mets inside the same city. People are going, why the Rays?
• 1:37:02
  Speaker 2: And for people that don't know, that's because joints or
• 1:37:05
  Speaker 2: George Steinbrenner lived in Tampa, right?
• 1:37:07
  Speaker 23: Right. Right.
• 1:37:09
  Speaker 2: He didn't want to deal with that nonsense, leaving his
• 1:37:10
  Speaker 2: house and having the Rays beat his team. He didn't
• 1:37:12
  Speaker 2: want to deal with that. You know, one time I
• 1:37:14
  Speaker 2: said to Bernie Williams, I said, Bernie, you won four
• 1:37:17
  Speaker 2: World Series, so did you, Jeff. And you beat Atlanta twice,
• 1:37:20
  Speaker 2: you beat the Padres, you beat the Mets. And I said,
• 1:37:24
  Speaker 2: in 2001, right after 9-11, you weren't here then, but
• 1:37:28
  Speaker 2: when you lost to the Diamondbacks. Would you give back
• 1:37:31
  Speaker 2: one of those World Series wins just to have beaten
• 1:37:35
  Speaker 2: Arizona after that tragic day in New York? And without hesitation,
• 1:37:38
  Speaker 2: Jeppe goes, yeah, any one of them except the Mets. Right?
• 1:37:44
  Speaker 23: Yeah, you know, it's always, I came back in 03
• 1:37:47
  Speaker 23: and we lost to the Marlins and you seem to
• 1:37:49
  Speaker 23: remember the ones you lose more than the ones you win.
• 1:37:51
  Speaker 23: I mean, it's amazing. And we lost, I was with
• 1:37:54
  Speaker 23: Seattle then, we lost to New York. in a one
• 1:37:57
  Speaker 23: for them to go to Arizona to play the diamondbacks.
• 1:37:59
  Speaker 23: And I didn't like that very much either.
• 1:38:02
  Speaker 2: What was it like though, when you go from Seattle
• 1:38:05
  Speaker 2: to the Yankees with Tino in 96 and you win
• 1:38:08
  Speaker 2: a world series, that amazing world series win over Atlanta
• 1:38:12
  Speaker 2: right away that year, what was that like?
• 1:38:14
  Speaker 23: Well, you know, you're coming to a historical, historical team
• 1:38:19
  Speaker 23: in New York. I mean, I grew up in Baltimore,
• 1:38:20
  Speaker 23: so I was an Oriole fan. It's never really a
• 1:38:22
  Speaker 23: Yankee fan until I became a Yankee. And and it
• 1:38:25
  Speaker 23: was uh it was amazing I felt we were going
• 1:38:27
  Speaker 23: to come back and try to run it again in
• 1:38:29
  Speaker 23: Seattle and see if we go a little further and
• 1:38:31
  Speaker 23: Tino and I both get traded to New York I
• 1:38:33
  Speaker 23: mean you could get traded to at last place team
• 1:38:35
  Speaker 23: but you get traded to the pinstripes and that was
• 1:38:37
  Speaker 23: uh That was something else going to spring training. Then
• 1:38:40
  Speaker 23: it was Legends Field. Now it's Steinbrenner Field. You know,
• 1:38:44
  Speaker 23: just seeing the guys and the history that New York brings.
• 1:38:47
  Speaker 23: I was always a big historian as far as knowing
• 1:38:51
  Speaker 23: the past players. I mean, I absolutely loved them.
• 1:38:54
  Speaker 2: What was it like playing for Joe Torre, too? I
• 1:38:56
  Speaker 2: think you must have loved Joe Torre, yes? Yes.
• 1:38:59
  Speaker 23: Yeah, the most calming manager and, you know, perfect for
• 1:39:02
  Speaker 23: New York. Never had a doghouse.
• 1:39:04
  Speaker 2: I thought it.
• 1:39:05
  Speaker 23: Because New York back then was a very tough place
• 1:39:08
  Speaker 23: to play as far as the fans and also the media.
• 1:39:11
  Speaker 23: I mean, our media coverage was a lot more than
• 1:39:14
  Speaker 23: it is now. And he made it easier for us
• 1:39:17
  Speaker 23: to go out on the field and do our jobs.
• 1:39:19
  Speaker 23: And I had Lou in Seattle, which is a perfect
• 1:39:23
  Speaker 23: person in Seattle because it was a laid back atmosphere
• 1:39:26
  Speaker 23: and he brought his fiery self. And Joe Torre was perfect.
• 1:39:29
  Speaker 21: For New York.
• 1:39:30
  Speaker 23: And he was the greatest. That's why he's a Hall
• 1:39:33
  Speaker 23: of Famer.
• 1:39:33
  Speaker 2: Nelson saying, though, he's talking about the former Yankee, ironically,
• 1:39:36
  Speaker 2: Lou Piniella. And Steinbrenner, you know, every Yankee player I
• 1:39:40
  Speaker 2: talked to had a run-in with George at some point.
• 1:39:43
  Speaker 2: Didn't matter. They still loved him. And they really believed
• 1:39:46
  Speaker 2: that if he was still alive today, that the Yankees
• 1:39:50
  Speaker 2: wouldn't have gone 17 years now without winning a world championship.
• 1:39:53
  Speaker 2: Tell me about your relationship with George Steinbrenner.
• 1:39:56
  Speaker 23: Yeah, it was great. But he was the guy that
• 1:39:58
  Speaker 23: tested you in New York. I mean, New York was
• 1:40:00
  Speaker 23: always a tough place to play. I mean, if you
• 1:40:03
  Speaker 23: can make it here, you can make it anywhere. That's
• 1:40:06
  Speaker 23: the truth. I mean, it's the same with playing at
• 1:40:09
  Speaker 23: Yankee Stadium. He tested you. And if you didn't stand
• 1:40:12
  Speaker 23: up for yourself and give it back to him a
• 1:40:14
  Speaker 23: little bit, I mean, you never wanted to get into
• 1:40:15
  Speaker 23: a shouting match with him because you respected him too much.
• 1:40:18
  Speaker 23: But you also stood up for yourself and stood your ground.
• 1:40:21
  Speaker 23: And he respected that. And he knew that, okay, this
• 1:40:23
  Speaker 23: guy could probably make it here.
• 1:40:25
  Speaker 2: You know, the teams seem to have this little rivalry.
• 1:40:29
  Speaker 2: Some of the guys I speak to. So, for example, Jeff,
• 1:40:31
  Speaker 2: your 98 team won every game. I think you're like 162,
• 1:40:34
  Speaker 2: I know. One of the greatest teams to ever play,
• 1:40:36
  Speaker 2: the 98 Yankees. And if you want to take on
• 1:40:39
  Speaker 2: those 77 teams like Reggie Jackson or dating back to
• 1:40:43
  Speaker 2: even the Joe DiMaggio, Mickey Mantle days, Yogi Berra, do
• 1:40:46
  Speaker 2: you ever think how your Yankee great team, who won
• 1:40:49
  Speaker 2: World Series four times, would have fared against those other
• 1:40:53
  Speaker 2: great Yankee teams?
• 1:40:55
  Speaker 23: We kind of hoped that we would beat them, but
• 1:40:57
  Speaker 23: it would be fun to play against them. That would
• 1:41:00
  Speaker 23: be for sure. You look back and I think 98
• 1:41:04
  Speaker 23: was maybe one of the greatest, if not the greatest
• 1:41:06
  Speaker 23: team ever. I think maybe if you go back and
• 1:41:10
  Speaker 23: ask DiMaggio and all those, what was it, 61 Yankees,
• 1:41:13
  Speaker 23: whoever it was, they said, oh, that was the greatest
• 1:41:14
  Speaker 23: team ever.
• 1:41:15
  Speaker 27: Right.
• 1:41:16
  Speaker 23: It was fun back then. Old-timers day, when those guys
• 1:41:20
  Speaker 23: would come in, it was amazing to see those guys
• 1:41:23
  Speaker 23: around and dress in our locker room and just know
• 1:41:26
  Speaker 23: what they went through and the great players that they were.
• 1:41:30
  Speaker 23: It was amazing, but it would have been fun to
• 1:41:33
  Speaker 23: do that.
• 1:41:34
  Speaker 2: It would have been a lot of fun. What kind
• 1:41:35
  Speaker 2: of teammate was Derek Jeter?
• 1:41:38
  Speaker 10: Amazing.
• 1:41:39
  Speaker 23: The smartest player I've ever played with and down to
• 1:41:42
  Speaker 23: earth and wanted to win. And everybody followed his lead,
• 1:41:45
  Speaker 23: even from his rookie year in 96. I mean, he
• 1:41:48
  Speaker 23: played like a veteran. He respected the game. He has
• 1:41:51
  Speaker 23: a great mom and dad. He grew up right. And
• 1:41:54
  Speaker 23: for a guy that... was single in New York. He
• 1:41:57
  Speaker 23: was a superstar, and he made it, and, you know,
• 1:42:00
  Speaker 23: one of the greatest teammates I've had.
• 1:42:02
  Speaker 2: But you come back, this is the great Jeff Nelson,
• 1:42:04
  Speaker 2: and he went back and forth between Seattle and the Yankees.
• 1:42:07
  Speaker 2: He's got to go back and forth to the bathroom
• 1:42:08
  Speaker 2: in the studio every single day. So you came back
• 1:42:11
  Speaker 2: in 03, and ironically, you talked about losing to the
• 1:42:14
  Speaker 2: Marlins in the World Series that year, but that was
• 1:42:17
  Speaker 2: the year where Aaron Boone hit that big home run
• 1:42:21
  Speaker 2: off Tim Wakefield, and you guys got to the World Series,
• 1:42:24
  Speaker 2: and now... Aaron Boone is the skipper for the Yankees,
• 1:42:29
  Speaker 2: and Jeffy gets killed here, okay? Every call to the fan,
• 1:42:32
  Speaker 2: got to get rid of Boone. Meantime, Yankees won 93
• 1:42:35
  Speaker 2: this year. They win between 90 and 100 every year.
• 1:42:38
  Speaker 2: They're in the playoffs every year, but Yankee fans won championships,
• 1:42:43
  Speaker 2: and you've got to go all the way back to
• 1:42:45
  Speaker 2: A-Rod in 2009 for that last championship. So do you
• 1:42:49
  Speaker 2: think Aaron Boone gets too much heat, or do the
• 1:42:53
  Speaker 2: Yankees got to win one?
• 1:42:55
  Speaker 23: Well, I mean, and I think the Yankees definitely have
• 1:42:57
  Speaker 23: to win one. I mean, they haven't been there since
• 1:42:59
  Speaker 23: 09 and you know, this is New York, you know,
• 1:43:01
  Speaker 23: this is the Yankees. They're used to it with 27 championships. So,
• 1:43:04
  Speaker 23: you know, they're used to winning. It just hasn't happened
• 1:43:07
  Speaker 23: in a while. I mean, this, this is a team
• 1:43:09
  Speaker 23: that goes to the playoffs every year. You know, that,
• 1:43:12
  Speaker 23: that's a great feat in itself. You know, what Brian
• 1:43:15
  Speaker 23: Cashman has done and what Aaron Boone has done as
• 1:43:17
  Speaker 23: a manager, Aaron Boone's a great communicator and, He does
• 1:43:21
  Speaker 23: a really nice job, you know, keeping everybody together. And
• 1:43:24
  Speaker 23: nowadays I think it's even more important to communicate with
• 1:43:26
  Speaker 23: the players because I think players are a lot more
• 1:43:29
  Speaker 23: sensitive than they used to be a lot more personalities
• 1:43:32
  Speaker 23: than they, than it used to be. So you need that,
• 1:43:35
  Speaker 23: you need that buffer and he, and he does a
• 1:43:37
  Speaker 23: great job with it. And, you know, you have a
• 1:43:42
  Speaker 23: lot of tough teams out there and, you know, I, it's, it's,
• 1:43:46
  Speaker 23: the injuries around the league are huge. And when you
• 1:43:50
  Speaker 23: lose big players like Aaron Judge, Stanton, Bellinger, that's going
• 1:43:56
  Speaker 23: to cost you. And then some guys just don't show
• 1:43:59
  Speaker 23: up in the playoffs. I mean, you had Aaron Judge
• 1:44:01
  Speaker 23: that had a decent playoff run a couple years ago.
• 1:44:04
  Speaker 23: But other than that, he really hasn't had a great
• 1:44:08
  Speaker 23: playoff run. So that takes some consideration as well.
• 1:44:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, when you talk about being one of the all-time greats.
• 1:44:16
  Speaker 2: So what's the difference, Jeff? You know, a guy shows
• 1:44:19
  Speaker 2: up for 162 games, and he's an amazing player. Is
• 1:44:22
  Speaker 2: it as easy as there's just more pressure, more eyeballs?
• 1:44:27
  Speaker 2: Why are guys completely different in October than they were
• 1:44:31
  Speaker 2: in September?
• 1:44:33
  Speaker 12: Yeah, all of the above.
• 1:44:34
  Speaker 18: And also, you know.
• 1:44:37
  Speaker 23: You try, I think players try to be someone they're,
• 1:44:40
  Speaker 23: they're not, you know, it's just a, it's just a
• 1:44:42
  Speaker 23: regular game, even though there is more eyeballs and you're
• 1:44:45
  Speaker 23: one of what now 12 teams. guys try to do
• 1:44:51
  Speaker 23: too much. And that's what made Derek Jeter so good
• 1:44:54
  Speaker 23: and a lot of players back then so good because
• 1:44:57
  Speaker 23: you took it as a regular game. You can't be
• 1:44:59
  Speaker 23: any better than what you were during the regular season.
• 1:45:02
  Speaker 23: And I think some of these guys, and A-Rod was
• 1:45:04
  Speaker 23: one of them. A-Rod had a decent run in 09,
• 1:45:07
  Speaker 23: but other than that, he really never did anything in
• 1:45:08
  Speaker 23: the playoffs. And those guys try to put too much
• 1:45:11
  Speaker 23: pressure on themselves and they try to be better than
• 1:45:13
  Speaker 23: they were during the regular season. And that's just not
• 1:45:15
  Speaker 23: going to happen.
• 1:45:16
  Speaker 2: Well, you talked about the injuries with this baseball team,
• 1:45:18
  Speaker 2: and these guys aren't even back yet. Like, Judge, we
• 1:45:21
  Speaker 2: think may be available. Stanton, we think may be available.
• 1:45:24
  Speaker 2: We don't even know. So I know you're a Yankee. Jeff,
• 1:45:27
  Speaker 2: I get it. You played for Seattle. You played for
• 1:45:30
  Speaker 2: the White Sox. You played for the Rangers. But you're
• 1:45:33
  Speaker 2: a Yankee. I know you want the Yankees to win,
• 1:45:35
  Speaker 2: but do you think this Yankee team will get it done?
• 1:45:40
  Speaker 23: I think their pitching is far better than a lot
• 1:45:43
  Speaker 23: of teams. Who knows if Aaron Judge is going to
• 1:45:46
  Speaker 23: be able.
• 1:45:47
  Speaker 2: To come back?
• 1:45:48
  Speaker 23: And even what is he going to be able to provide?
• 1:45:50
  Speaker 23: Is he going to be healthy enough to be an
• 1:45:52
  Speaker 23: impact player in that lineup? Is he going to be
• 1:45:55
  Speaker 23: able to play the outfield? There's a lot of question
• 1:45:57
  Speaker 23: marks with that. I think the pitching, the starting pitching
• 1:46:00
  Speaker 23: is probably better than anyone, the other teams in the
• 1:46:04
  Speaker 23: American League. They have a tougher run. I mean, they
• 1:46:07
  Speaker 23: have to go through the Red Sox and then they
• 1:46:08
  Speaker 23: play the Rays if they can get through the Red Sox.
• 1:46:10
  Speaker 23: So that's a tough run for them. But if they
• 1:46:12
  Speaker 23: can get through that, then I think they go to
• 1:46:14
  Speaker 23: the World Series because I don't think, you know, you
• 1:46:16
  Speaker 23: look at Houston, the Guardians and the White Sox. I
• 1:46:19
  Speaker 23: don't think any of those teams match up with any
• 1:46:21
  Speaker 23: of the Red Sox, Rays or Yankees. But I like
• 1:46:24
  Speaker 23: the Yankees because of their pitching. Their starting pitching is
• 1:46:27
  Speaker 23: really good. It's deeper than any one of the other teams,
• 1:46:30
  Speaker 23: and I think their bullpen's good.
• 1:46:31
  Speaker 2: You know, going back to the bullpen, those Torrey teams
• 1:46:35
  Speaker 2: that won the World Series, we can talk all day
• 1:46:38
  Speaker 2: about Jeter deservedly so, and Tino, and Bernie Williams, and
• 1:46:42
  Speaker 2: all the offensive stars that showed up for the Yanks,
• 1:46:44
  Speaker 2: and lots of them. But I got to tell you,
• 1:46:47
  Speaker 2: that bullpen, right? So 96, you get there. Wetlands a closer.
• 1:46:51
  Speaker 2: Mariano's a setup guy. But after that, whether it was
• 1:46:54
  Speaker 2: you or Mike Stanton, knowing that Mariano Rivera was at
• 1:46:59
  Speaker 2: the back of that bullpen, did you ever have any
• 1:47:02
  Speaker 2: doubt that if you were winning in the sixth inning,
• 1:47:04
  Speaker 2: you would win every game?
• 1:47:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:47:07
  Speaker 23: You know, no, and that's what we did. We shortened games.
• 1:47:10
  Speaker 23: I mean, we had really good starting pitching. So if
• 1:47:13
  Speaker 23: our starters would give you six or seven innings and
• 1:47:16
  Speaker 23: we only had to worry about maybe nine outs at
• 1:47:18
  Speaker 23: the most, sometimes maybe six outs, maybe four outs down
• 1:47:21
  Speaker 23: in the bullpen.
• 1:47:22
  Speaker 21: Because our starters are so good.
• 1:47:24
  Speaker 23: And that's what, you know, and even opposing teams knew it.
• 1:47:28
  Speaker 23: If they didn't get to our starters, they weren't winning
• 1:47:30
  Speaker 23: the game because our bullpen was so good.
• 1:47:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you guys.
• 1:47:32
  Speaker 23: But nowadays it's different. You know, the leases are shorter
• 1:47:35
  Speaker 23: for starters. The 100-pitch count is a huge deal for teams.
• 1:47:40
  Speaker 23: So you better have a deep bullpen because you're getting
• 1:47:42
  Speaker 23: 12 to 15 outs a night, especially in the playoffs
• 1:47:46
  Speaker 23: from your bullpen. If you can't get that, then that's
• 1:47:49
  Speaker 23: when you wind up losing.
• 1:47:50
  Speaker 2: Bottom line. Jeff Nelson, an amazing Yankee between 96 and 2000,
• 1:47:55
  Speaker 2: was back here in 03 and went back and forth
• 1:47:57
  Speaker 2: to Seattle during all those years, but is a beloved
• 1:48:00
  Speaker 2: here in New York. I love you. As a great
• 1:48:02
  Speaker 2: New York Yankee and a great guy. So thank you
• 1:48:05
  Speaker 2: for hopping on this morning. I know you're traveling today.
• 1:48:07
  Speaker 2: And let's go, Yanks, Jeff. Let's go, Yanks.
• 1:48:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, let's go, Yanks.
• 1:48:10
  Speaker 21: Love your show, too.
• 1:48:11
  Speaker 2: Love you. Oh, man, thank you. I love you, too, bro.
• 1:48:13
  Speaker 2: Thank you so much. It means a lot to me.
• 1:48:15
  Speaker 2: Thank you. There he is, the former great New York Yankee,
• 1:48:17
  Speaker 2: Jeff Nelson. Nelly. and much like Donald Trump does, he
• 1:48:21
  Speaker 2: closed it out with an I love you. How about that,
• 1:48:23
  Speaker 2: Jeff Nelson? We'll take a short break. When we get back,
• 1:48:25
  Speaker 2: I think this guy loves me. I love him. He
• 1:48:28
  Speaker 2: wiped the floor with Kate Conley last night. You talk
• 1:48:32
  Speaker 2: about the Yankees beating the Red Sox. What I saw
• 1:48:35
  Speaker 2: last night was a first-round knockout.
• 1:48:39
  Speaker 26: Sid and friends in the morning on the Red Apple
• 1:48:42
  Speaker 26: Podcast Network.
• 1:48:45
  Speaker 16: My heart absolutely breaks. And what happened to Sheridan is inexcusable.
• 1:48:50
  Speaker 16: Government failed her. And for that, we have to make
• 1:48:55
  Speaker 16: sure that that doesn't happen again.
• 1:48:57
  Speaker 7: What you didn't hear from Kate was an answer to
• 1:48:59
  Speaker 7: your question.
• 1:49:00
  Speaker 17: She does support Kathy Hochul's new law, and she would
• 1:49:03
  Speaker 17: not support federal legislation to end sanctuary policies.
• 1:49:07
  Speaker 16: And families are struggling because of the harm that he
• 1:49:09
  Speaker 16: has done, voting with Donald Trump and his agenda 100%
• 1:49:13
  Speaker 16: of the time.
• 1:49:14
  Speaker 17: No matter how many times you say 100% of the time,
• 1:49:17
  Speaker 17: it's provably false.
• 1:49:18
  Speaker 2: Am I right or wrong, Mike?
• 1:49:20
  Speaker 28: You are correct, sir.
• 1:49:23
  Speaker 2: The king of Rockland County, Mr. Saul. That was quite
• 1:49:28
  Speaker 2: a debate last night. I mean, I don't know how
• 1:49:31
  Speaker 2: this lady faces her constituents today, how she faces her party.
• 1:49:36
  Speaker 2: I'm not saying this because I love you, because I
• 1:49:37
  Speaker 2: do love you. You wiped the floor with her last night.
• 1:49:40
  Speaker 2: Did you feel that way when you left?
• 1:49:43
  Speaker 21: I did.
• 1:49:43
  Speaker 10: I did.
• 1:49:44
  Speaker 28: And in part because I have a real record of
• 1:49:49
  Speaker 28: delivering for my district. And no matter how many times
• 1:49:52
  Speaker 28: she tries to impugn my integrity or attack that record,
• 1:49:56
  Speaker 28: the fact is that I have delivered and I have
• 1:50:00
  Speaker 28: fought for my district, as the president calls me, a
• 1:50:03
  Speaker 28: pain in the ass. It's because I will not back
• 1:50:06
  Speaker 28: down to anyone when it comes to defending my constituents.
• 1:50:10
  Speaker 28: And You know, you saw that last night. Jess and
• 1:50:13
  Speaker 28: Tom Gorman, whose beautiful 18-year-old daughter Sheridan was brutally murdered.
• 1:50:18
  Speaker 28: They asked a very direct question. Do you support Kathy
• 1:50:22
  Speaker 28: Hochul's new sanctuary law? The reason their daughter is dead
• 1:50:28
  Speaker 28: is because of Chicago's sanctuary law, because of Joe Biden's
• 1:50:32
  Speaker 28: open borders, because of cashless bail. That's why their daughter
• 1:50:36
  Speaker 28: is dead. And they asked a very pointed question, and
• 1:50:40
  Speaker 28: they got a lot of bullshit from Kate Conley. She
• 1:50:44
  Speaker 28: refused to answer it, and so I answered it for
• 1:50:46
  Speaker 28: her and pointed out that she does, in fact, support
• 1:50:49
  Speaker 28: Kathy Hochul's disastrous sanctuary state law. She would not support
• 1:50:54
  Speaker 28: legislation at the federal level to ban sanctuary cities. And
• 1:50:59
  Speaker 28: I made the point that I stand with the Gormans.
• 1:51:01
  Speaker 28: The fact is that Kathy Hochul has released over 7,000
• 1:51:07
  Speaker 28: convicted illegal immigrant criminals back out onto the streets. Murderers, rapists,
• 1:51:14
  Speaker 28: drug dealers, gang bangers, gun traffickers. She doesn't give a
• 1:51:19
  Speaker 28: shit about New Yorkers. She doesn't care if somebody ends
• 1:51:23
  Speaker 28: up dead because she released a criminal back out onto
• 1:51:26
  Speaker 28: the street. You remember Kathy Hochul said, If anybody.
• 1:51:29
  Speaker 10: Commits a crime, I'll be the first person to call.
• 1:51:33
  Speaker 12: The federal government.
• 1:51:34
  Speaker 10: Bullshit.
• 1:51:35
  Speaker 28: She's a straight-up liar. She's a straight-up liar. And she
• 1:51:39
  Speaker 28: not only hasn't called the federal government, she's refused to
• 1:51:43
  Speaker 28: honor these detainer requests, and she released these criminals back
• 1:51:46
  Speaker 28: out onto the streets.
• 1:51:48
  Speaker 2: Have you become... Bruce Blakeman's campaign manager. I'm just curious
• 1:51:53
  Speaker 2: because your little rant just now is all Bruce needs,
• 1:51:56
  Speaker 2: I believe, to win. I believe that. And I know
• 1:51:59
  Speaker 2: the Gormans love you.
• 1:52:00
  Speaker 28: He should be hammering her over this issue.
• 1:52:02
  Speaker 2: I agree.
• 1:52:03
  Speaker 12: And this issue alone.
• 1:52:04
  Speaker 2: I agree.
• 1:52:05
  Speaker 28: She does not care what happens to New Yorkers.
• 1:52:08
  Speaker 2: No, you're right. And I had a chance to meet
• 1:52:10
  Speaker 2: the Gormans at your rally in Rockland County. It was
• 1:52:13
  Speaker 2: an incredibly emotional moment there, too, and you were great.
• 1:52:16
  Speaker 2: So I'm glad you brought that up last night. And
• 1:52:18
  Speaker 2: when she said you vote with Trump 100% of the time, look,
• 1:52:22
  Speaker 2: the president loves you. He did call you a pain
• 1:52:24
  Speaker 2: in the ass, but he loves you, Mr.
• 1:52:26
  Speaker 21: Salt.
• 1:52:26
  Speaker 2: I know you love him. You do not. You do
• 1:52:29
  Speaker 2: not vote with Trump 100% of the time. In fact,
• 1:52:33
  Speaker 2: some people out there call you a rhino. So she
• 1:52:35
  Speaker 2: lied about that.
• 1:52:37
  Speaker 28: There's no question. It's provably false. And here's the point
• 1:52:42
  Speaker 28: to me. You know, at the end of the day,
• 1:52:44
  Speaker 28: I'm elected to represent my district and I fight for
• 1:52:47
  Speaker 28: my district every day. But fighting for your district also
• 1:52:50
  Speaker 28: requires you working to get things done. Is her position
• 1:52:54
  Speaker 28: that I should never work with the president? Is her
• 1:52:56
  Speaker 28: position that I should just stand on a street corner,
• 1:52:58
  Speaker 28: hold a sign and say Orange Man bad? I mean,
• 1:53:01
  Speaker 28: she has come out in favor of impeachment. She's not
• 1:53:05
  Speaker 28: even a member of Congress and she has come out
• 1:53:07
  Speaker 28: in favor of impeachment. If she wins, we will have
• 1:53:10
  Speaker 28: two years of absolutely nothing. It'll be straight up gridlock.
• 1:53:15
  Speaker 28: There will be no ability to get anything done on
• 1:53:18
  Speaker 28: behalf of the district because she will waste everybody's time
• 1:53:23
  Speaker 28: on impeachment. And the fact is that we need to
• 1:53:27
  Speaker 28: deal with real challenges facing the American people, from health
• 1:53:31
  Speaker 28: care costs to energy costs to housing costs, all of
• 1:53:35
  Speaker 28: which are exponentially higher in the state of New York
• 1:53:38
  Speaker 28: than anywhere else in the country. And Democrats control everything
• 1:53:41
  Speaker 28: in Albany. and everything in New York City. And by
• 1:53:44
  Speaker 28: the way, I gave her four opportunities yesterday to denounce
• 1:53:48
  Speaker 28: Zoran Mamdani and his radical anti-Semitism, and she refused.
• 1:53:52
  Speaker 2: She refused.
• 1:53:53
  Speaker 10: She refused to denounce him.
• 1:53:54
  Speaker 2: All four times. She kept talking about, well, I don't
• 1:53:56
  Speaker 2: really like the DSA. Yes, but denounce Mamdani. She refused
• 1:54:00
  Speaker 2: all four times. And to your credit, You know, you
• 1:54:03
  Speaker 2: talk about being a politician for all. You're a politician
• 1:54:07
  Speaker 2: for Republicans and Democrats in Rockland County. You said, listen,
• 1:54:11
  Speaker 2: I just got an endorsement from a big-time Democrat in Maine.
• 1:54:15
  Speaker 2: My best friend in Congress is Josh Gottheimer. He's a
• 1:54:19
  Speaker 2: Democrat from New Jersey. They did a very good job
• 1:54:22
  Speaker 2: last night of pointing out you're not just there for Republicans.
• 1:54:27
  Speaker 10: No, absolutely.
• 1:54:28
  Speaker 28: And look, I've consistently been rated among the most bipartisan
• 1:54:31
  Speaker 28: Republicans precisely because I'm able to navigate through very difficult
• 1:54:38
  Speaker 28: situations and build consensus and In order to build consensus,
• 1:54:42
  Speaker 28: you have to bring Republicans and Democrats together. It's what
• 1:54:46
  Speaker 28: I've always been able to do. It's why I've won
• 1:54:49
  Speaker 28: in a two-to-one Democratic district that has 80,000 more Democrats
• 1:54:53
  Speaker 28: than Republicans. That's home to the Clintons and George Soros,
• 1:54:56
  Speaker 28: because I go into every community. I've delivered for every community.
• 1:55:00
  Speaker 28: You know, Sid, I've done over 2,000 in-person, in-district events
• 1:55:04
  Speaker 28: in less than four years, I've closed over 10,000 constituent cases.
• 1:55:09
  Speaker 28: We've brought back over $ 120 million to the district in
• 1:55:12
  Speaker 28: benefits due and community projects and critical infrastructure projects and
• 1:55:17
  Speaker 28: support for law enforcement. I've passed over two dozen bills,
• 1:55:20
  Speaker 28: 17 of which have been signed into law. That doesn't
• 1:55:24
  Speaker 28: happen if you're a partisan hack. That happens from actually
• 1:55:27
  Speaker 28: doing the work. And I can't, for the life of me,
• 1:55:30
  Speaker 28: understand Kate Conley's argument. It's her position that you should
• 1:55:34
  Speaker 28: just oppose Donald Trump at all costs, no matter how
• 1:55:38
  Speaker 28: badly it hurts the people you are elected to represent.
• 1:55:42
  Speaker 2: Yes, that's her position. And I got to tell you
• 1:55:44
  Speaker 2: something else. I know. You talk about denouncing Mamdani. And
• 1:55:48
  Speaker 2: anybody who argues that Mamdani is... not an anti-Semite who
• 1:55:54
  Speaker 2: says he's not one, who argues that he is, I
• 1:55:56
  Speaker 2: should say, is either biased or an idiot. He is
• 1:56:00
  Speaker 2: a raging anti-Semite. He is the epitome of an anti-Semite.
• 1:56:06
  Speaker 2: He's the worst anti-Semite.
• 1:56:09
  Speaker 28: Listen, think about it in this very simple terms. He
• 1:56:13
  Speaker 28: called for Benjamin Netanyahu to be arrested, okay? A duly elected.
• 1:56:21
  Speaker 28: Prime minister of a Democratic ally, called for him to
• 1:56:24
  Speaker 28: be arrested. Nicolas Maduro, a dictator and thug responsible for
• 1:56:31
  Speaker 28: the deaths of thousands of Americans with the illicit drug trade,
• 1:56:36
  Speaker 28: and was multiple times indicted by the Southern District of
• 1:56:40
  Speaker 28: New York, he calls for him to be released The
• 1:56:45
  Speaker 28: only reason you would take that position, other than being
• 1:56:47
  Speaker 28: a fucking lunatic, is that you are a raging anti-Semite
• 1:56:51
  Speaker 28: and you hate Jews.
• 1:56:52
  Speaker 2: Right. Well, my point was.
• 1:56:54
  Speaker 12: You would take that position.
• 1:56:55
  Speaker 14: Right.
• 1:56:55
  Speaker 2: So my point was last night, not only did she
• 1:56:57
  Speaker 2: not denounce Mamdani, and again, you gave her four opportunities.
• 1:57:01
  Speaker 2: I got to tell you, I listened to her very
• 1:57:03
  Speaker 2: carefully over the Israel argument. Do we continue to provide
• 1:57:07
  Speaker 2: aid to Israel? You're a champ with that. An absolute champ.
• 1:57:11
  Speaker 2: She did not convince me last night. that she cares
• 1:57:14
  Speaker 2: even a little about Israel despite two or three attempts.
• 1:57:20
  Speaker 28: No, listen, she would fall right in line with all
• 1:57:24
  Speaker 28: the radical socialists, all the Democrats that want to remove aid.
• 1:57:30
  Speaker 28: Her biggest booster in Congress, Pat Ryan, just to the
• 1:57:33
  Speaker 28: district north, voted to cut off aid, also said he
• 1:57:36
  Speaker 28: no longer wants support from AIPAC, which, by the way,
• 1:57:39
  Speaker 28: is just saying you don't want support from Jewish Americans. And,
• 1:57:43
  Speaker 28: you know, she she will go hook, line and sinker
• 1:57:46
  Speaker 28: with these folks. She's got no backbone, no ability to
• 1:57:49
  Speaker 28: stand up to them politically.
• 1:57:51
  Speaker 12: And again, I gave her the opportunity to do it
• 1:57:54
  Speaker 12: last night.
• 1:57:54
  Speaker 2: It was easy.
• 1:57:55
  Speaker 12: All she had to say is, of course, I reject.
• 1:57:57
  Speaker 2: Right. Right. She didn't do it. Horror Jimmy Kimmel last night.
• 1:58:03
  Speaker 2: You guys also had a nice spirited debate with the Haitians,
• 1:58:07
  Speaker 2: the Haitian TPS in New York State. Tell us about that.
• 1:58:11
  Speaker 18: Well, that was entertaining.
• 1:58:12
  Speaker 28: I mean, she's literally saying that I did nothing. I mean,
• 1:58:16
  Speaker 28: I've been the most vocal in support of extending Haitian
• 1:58:19
  Speaker 28: TPS in pushing back against the administration. I passed the
• 1:58:23
  Speaker 28: bill through the House. I discharged the bill to extend
• 1:58:26
  Speaker 28: Haitian TPS. I had people in my own party attacking
• 1:58:29
  Speaker 28: me over it. I got it passed through the House.
• 1:58:32
  Speaker 28: It's in the Senate. And she's saying I did nothing.
• 1:58:34
  Speaker 28: I didn't do my job.
• 1:58:35
  Speaker 12: I mean, it's a joke.
• 1:58:37
  Speaker 28: She clearly doesn't understand the legislative process.
• 1:58:40
  Speaker 14: No.
• 1:58:41
  Speaker 18: But, you know, moreover, I mean.
• 1:58:42
  Speaker 28: It's just issue after issue after issue where she just
• 1:58:45
  Speaker 28: continually lied. She tried to blame me for New York's
• 1:58:47
  Speaker 28: high utility bills.
• 1:58:49
  Speaker 2: I saw that. I mean, that's laughable.
• 1:58:52
  Speaker 28: I'm advocating to reopen and rebuild Indian Point, to lift
• 1:58:56
  Speaker 28: the moratorium on natural gas extraction, to build pipelines. And
• 1:59:00
  Speaker 28: she she wants, you know, solar fields everywhere. There's not
• 1:59:04
  Speaker 28: enough solar panels and wind turbines to generate the level
• 1:59:07
  Speaker 28: of electricity that we need in this country. 70 percent
• 1:59:10
  Speaker 28: of electricity is generated by natural gas. She wants to
• 1:59:14
  Speaker 28: ban it.
• 1:59:14
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 1:59:14
  Speaker 12: You know, you look at you look at the fact
• 1:59:16
  Speaker 12: they talk about gas prices.
• 1:59:18
  Speaker 28: Yes, there there is volatility in the oil market. We
• 1:59:21
  Speaker 28: want that to come down in the Strait of Hormuz.
• 1:59:24
  Speaker 28: Oil is flowing 94 percent of what it was before.
• 1:59:27
  Speaker 28: prior to the beginning of the war. So we are
• 1:59:29
  Speaker 28: making progress. We want the oil flow to happen. But
• 1:59:32
  Speaker 28: here's the thing. This is a perfect example of why
• 1:59:36
  Speaker 28: we need to increase domestic production of oil and gas.
• 1:59:40
  Speaker 28: Democrats want to shut off oil and gas in the
• 1:59:43
  Speaker 28: United States. They don't want to increase productivity of oil
• 1:59:47
  Speaker 28: and gas in the United States, which means we would
• 1:59:49
  Speaker 28: be far more reliant on foreign governments.
• 1:59:53
  Speaker 10: I don't want that.
• 1:59:54
  Speaker 12: I want us to be reliant on our own sources
• 1:59:56
  Speaker 12: of energy.
• 1:59:57
  Speaker 18: I want to be net energy exporters.
• 1:59:58
  Speaker 2: Of course. This is ridiculous. Then she goes on. I'm
• 2:00:03
  Speaker 2: all for data centers. I really am. I don't want
• 2:00:05
  Speaker 2: to slow down AI. She goes, you built five data centers.
• 2:00:10
  Speaker 2: Five data centers were built since you took office. And
• 2:00:13
  Speaker 2: you go, yeah. None of those were built since I
• 2:00:16
  Speaker 2: took office. I mean, the facts matter to this lady?
• 2:00:19
  Speaker 2: Any facts?
• 2:00:20
  Speaker 18: Not in the least.
• 2:00:21
  Speaker 28: First of all, all of these data centers are tied
• 2:00:23
  Speaker 28: to our financial services industry. Bloomberg, JPMorgan Chase, Morgan Stanley,
• 2:00:30
  Speaker 28: just across the border, the New York Stock Exchange in Mahwah.
• 2:00:33
  Speaker 28: These data centers were built to protect our financial institutions
• 2:00:39
  Speaker 28: and our financial information. God forbid there's an attack down
• 2:00:43
  Speaker 28: at Wall Street. That was the whole premise behind it
• 2:00:47
  Speaker 28: after 9-11. These data centers were approved. long before I
• 2:00:53
  Speaker 28: ever took office. I don't serve on a zoning board.
• 2:00:56
  Speaker 28: I don't serve on a planning board. I had no approval,
• 2:00:58
  Speaker 28: no role in the approvals of any of these data centers.
• 2:01:02
  Speaker 28: And she's sitting here blaming me for it. Meanwhile, she's
• 2:01:06
  Speaker 28: taking hundreds of thousands of dollars from AI companies in
• 2:01:10
  Speaker 28: a no-show job that she literally negotiated on her way
• 2:01:14
  Speaker 28: out the door of the Biden administration.
• 2:01:17
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 2:01:17
  Speaker 28: She wants to call me corrupt. She literally gets a
• 2:01:21
  Speaker 28: a no-show job so that she could move up here
• 2:01:24
  Speaker 28: from Virginia to New York to run for Congress. She
• 2:01:28
  Speaker 28: doesn't own a house here. She doesn't pay taxes here.
• 2:01:31
  Speaker 28: She will leave as quickly as she came when she
• 2:01:33
  Speaker 28: loses on November 3rd.
• 2:01:35
  Speaker 2: This is not going to be a close race, is it?
• 2:01:37
  Speaker 2: I mean, are you feeling like because of the amount
• 2:01:39
  Speaker 2: of Democrats in that county? I know you never count
• 2:01:42
  Speaker 2: the win before it happens. I get all that. But
• 2:01:44
  Speaker 2: she's a liar. She's corrupt. She's not even from here.
• 2:01:49
  Speaker 2: You become one of our most valued, if not our
• 2:01:51
  Speaker 2: best congressperson. Are you telling me this is going to
• 2:01:54
  Speaker 2: be close?
• 2:01:56
  Speaker 28: Look, it's a tough district, and I take nothing for granted.
• 2:02:01
  Speaker 28: It's why I bust my ass. I'm out seven days
• 2:02:03
  Speaker 28: a week. My team is working tirelessly, and we're making
• 2:02:08
  Speaker 28: the case directly to voters. And I'm proud of my record.
• 2:02:12
  Speaker 28: I do not shy away from my votes. I don't
• 2:02:14
  Speaker 28: shy away from what I've done. I stand by every
• 2:02:17
  Speaker 28: bit of it. And I will defend every position I've taken.
• 2:02:22
  Speaker 28: Nobody ever has to guess where I stand. Unlike her,
• 2:02:25
  Speaker 28: I actually know what I'm talking about. So when you
• 2:02:28
  Speaker 28: look at these issues, the fact is nobody has fought harder.
• 2:02:33
  Speaker 28: Nobody has delivered more for my district and New York
• 2:02:38
  Speaker 28: in this term. And I will continue to stand up
• 2:02:42
  Speaker 28: regardless of who I have to stand up to. to
• 2:02:46
  Speaker 28: fight for this district, whether it's Kathy Hochul and Zoran
• 2:02:49
  Speaker 28: Mandani or Donald Trump. I will always do what I
• 2:02:52
  Speaker 28: think is in the best interest of Rockland County, Westchester County,
• 2:02:56
  Speaker 28: Putnam County and Dutchess County and the state of New York.
• 2:03:00
  Speaker 2: You're going to win big. I'm telling you. Last one.
• 2:03:02
  Speaker 2: You know, I'm tight with Randy now. Levine, I'll beat
• 2:03:05
  Speaker 2: the Yankee game tonight. And he's one of the guys
• 2:03:07
  Speaker 2: that helped draw up this Protect Sports Act, which has
• 2:03:11
  Speaker 2: gotten through the Senate with 77 votes. Now it's up
• 2:03:13
  Speaker 2: to the House. Any real opinion on this new act
• 2:03:17
  Speaker 2: to save college sports?
• 2:03:19
  Speaker 28: Well, Randy's a constituent and a good friend, and I
• 2:03:22
  Speaker 28: appreciate his work on this. Look, it needs to get done.
• 2:03:26
  Speaker 28: It's become the wild, wild west in college sports, and
• 2:03:30
  Speaker 28: it's killing it. And I think you've got to have
• 2:03:34
  Speaker 28: some guardrails here. And so I think the fact that
• 2:03:37
  Speaker 28: it got through the Senate, which is normally the biggest impediment,
• 2:03:40
  Speaker 28: gives us a great opportunity to get it done before
• 2:03:45
  Speaker 28: the end of the year when we get back after
• 2:03:48
  Speaker 28: the election.
• 2:03:49
  Speaker 2: So it was last night. Your only debate is I
• 2:03:51
  Speaker 2: can do this again. I can't imagine.
• 2:03:53
  Speaker 28: Well, I challenged her to six and, and she declined
• 2:03:57
  Speaker 28: NBC news and CNN. And after watching last night, we
• 2:04:00
  Speaker 28: know why, but look, we have one, we have one
• 2:04:04
  Speaker 28: more debate scheduled on picks 11 on October 14th. Nice.
• 2:04:09
  Speaker 28: I'll be curious if she shows up, but, Look, to me,
• 2:04:13
  Speaker 28: voters saw a very clear contrast. And at the end
• 2:04:18
  Speaker 28: of the day, she can call herself a moderate. She
• 2:04:20
  Speaker 28: can call herself whatever she wants. The fact is she
• 2:04:23
  Speaker 28: supports increasing taxes by $ 4 trillion. She supports open borders
• 2:04:27
  Speaker 28: and sanctuary state policy. She supports a government takeover of
• 2:04:31
  Speaker 28: health care. These are stated positions that at the end
• 2:04:34
  Speaker 28: of the day, From my vantage point, she would be
• 2:04:38
  Speaker 28: an absolute disaster for the state of New York and
• 2:04:41
  Speaker 28: for our country. She would be nothing but a rubber
• 2:04:43
  Speaker 28: stamp for Zoran Mamdani and Kathy Hochul. I'm the only
• 2:04:47
  Speaker 28: thing standing in the way here in the state of
• 2:04:50
  Speaker 28: New York, along with, you know, Nicole Malliotakis and Andrew
• 2:04:53
  Speaker 28: Garbarino and Nick Lolota, Elise Stefanik and Nick Langworthy, you know,
• 2:04:58
  Speaker 28: and Claudia Tenney. We're the only things stopping the all-out
• 2:05:03
  Speaker 28: push towards socialism here in New York.
• 2:05:05
  Speaker 2: All great people, mind you. So for folks who want
• 2:05:07
  Speaker 2: to help you today, Mike Lawler, a couple of bucks
• 2:05:09
  Speaker 2: before this big election, how do they do that?
• 2:05:12
  Speaker 28: Listen, this is a $ 60 million race. The money is
• 2:05:15
  Speaker 28: pouring in from all over the country, but we need
• 2:05:18
  Speaker 28: everybody's help. If you can spare a few bucks, text
• 2:05:21
  Speaker 28: Mike to 85007. That's Mike to 85007 or go to lawlerforcongress.com.
• 2:05:28
  Speaker 2: Well, I've watched a lot of debates over the years, Mike,
• 2:05:30
  Speaker 2: and I'm not just saying it's because you and I
• 2:05:32
  Speaker 2: are close like brothers, which we are, and I love you.
• 2:05:34
  Speaker 2: I love you a lot. You really were impressive last night.
• 2:05:36
  Speaker 2: That was a beating. I actually said earlier, I felt
• 2:05:40
  Speaker 2: badly now that I said it, but I compared it
• 2:05:41
  Speaker 2: to Mancini, Duke, or Kim. That guy actually died in
• 2:05:43
  Speaker 2: the ring, but that's how badly you beat this lady.
• 2:05:48
  Speaker 2: last night so congratulations uh if you do it again
• 2:05:51
  Speaker 2: october the 14th i expect the same result and the
• 2:05:54
  Speaker 2: first week of november you will retain that congress seat
• 2:05:58

  Speaker 2: Yes. It's a Maha summit today. J.D. Vance, RFK Jr.
• 2:06:28
  Speaker 2: and Mike Tyson.
• 2:06:29
  Speaker 6: I don't understand.
• 2:06:30
  Speaker 2: What is a Maha? What's a Maha David? It's a
• 2:06:33
  Speaker 2: good question, Mike. I don't know, but you're going to
• 2:06:35
  Speaker 2: be out there today.
• 2:06:35
  Speaker 6: Maharishi, you better hope I don't come and punch you
• 2:06:39
  Speaker 6: in the face. That's how you do it.
• 2:06:42
  Speaker 2: You got three wishes. The first two are, please, Mike, disappear.
• 2:06:46
  Speaker 2: I got you. A couple of great Mikes with a
• 2:06:48
  Speaker 2: good right hook. Mike Tyson and Mike Lawler. Oh, we
• 2:06:51
  Speaker 2: got the news coming up. We're not even done. Another
• 2:06:53
  Speaker 2: amazing guest. He used to be the governor in the
• 2:06:57
  Speaker 2: state of Florida before Ron DeSantis. Now he's an amazing
• 2:07:00
  Speaker 2: senator from the state of Florida. Our good friend Rick Scott.
• 2:07:04
  Speaker 26: Sid and friends in the morning on the Red Apple
• 2:07:07
  Speaker 26: Podcast Network.
• 2:07:10
  Speaker 2: NFL players trying to go back and play college football
• 2:07:12
  Speaker 2: like this year with Lane Kippen at LSU. You got
• 2:07:17
  Speaker 2: kids who now started quarterback at four different schools in
• 2:07:21
  Speaker 2: four years. This new act, you get to transfer once.
• 2:07:25
  Speaker 2: That's it. One time. which makes a lot more sense.
• 2:07:29
  Speaker 2: The NIL, all these issues will become a heck of
• 2:07:33
  Speaker 2: a lot less punishment for schools who don't put all
• 2:07:39
  Speaker 2: their money into football and basketball. The women's programs are
• 2:07:44
  Speaker 2: getting murdered. If this continues, there'll be very few to
• 2:07:49
  Speaker 2: know women's sports because these schools will just whack them.
• 2:07:54
  Speaker 2: How is that a good thing? You got six senators
• 2:07:57
  Speaker 2: that voted no. Chuck Schumer, of course, Kirsten Gillibrand, Cory Booker,
• 2:08:05
  Speaker 2: Cory Booker, that asshole from New Jersey. What are you doing, man?
• 2:08:11
  Speaker 2: It's like you're okay with men playing in women's sports
• 2:08:16
  Speaker 2: and you're okay with this. Come on. Then you've got Kim.
• 2:08:20
  Speaker 2: He's another jerk. And then you've got two guys from Connecticut,
• 2:08:25
  Speaker 2: Dick Blumenthal, Mr. Stolen Valor, Mr. I Lied About Serving
• 2:08:30
  Speaker 2: in Vietnam, and Chris Murphy. Murphy may be the worst
• 2:08:33
  Speaker 2: of all of them. And what's bad about that? Who
• 2:08:36
  Speaker 2: are the two high-profile college basketball coaches in Connecticut? Gino Auriemma,
• 2:08:43
  Speaker 2: he coaches the women. He may be the all-time best.
• 2:08:46
  Speaker 2: And Danny Hurley, he coaches the men. He's won two
• 2:08:49
  Speaker 2: out of three championships over the last few years at Connecticut.
• 2:08:53
  Speaker 2: Both of these guys, both want this Protect College Sports
• 2:09:00
  Speaker 2: Act to get done. So if you're Dick Blumenthal or
• 2:09:03
  Speaker 2: you're Chris Murphy from Connecticut, and both Ariema and Hurley
• 2:09:08
  Speaker 2: are behind this 100%, what is your fight? What is
• 2:09:11
  Speaker 2: your fight? They don't have one. So thank God this
• 2:09:18
  Speaker 2: thing is going to get done. Rick Scott, I know,
• 2:09:20
  Speaker 2: voted the right way. Rick is a great guy. He didn't.
• 2:09:23
  Speaker 2: He voted against it. Yeah, he voted no. I'm sure
• 2:09:25
  Speaker 2: he's got a good reason, though. No, he doesn't. We'll
• 2:09:27
  Speaker 2: find out. No, I'm going to yell at him. How
• 2:09:29
  Speaker 2: do you know he voted no? You can look it up.
• 2:09:31
  Speaker 2: It's a public record. Oh, is that right?
• 2:09:33
  Speaker 14: Yeah.
• 2:09:34
  Speaker 2: Anybody else? I like that voted no. Let's see. Before
• 2:09:36
  Speaker 2: I say something nice about him on here, then I
• 2:09:38
  Speaker 2: have to kill him. Like Rick Scott, who was my governor,
• 2:09:41
  Speaker 2: you know, when I lived in Florida. Now he's a senator.
• 2:09:44
  Speaker 2: Ron DeSantis is the governor. Who else? Let's see. Who
• 2:09:47
  Speaker 2: voted no? Rick Scott. Yeah, voted no. I want to
• 2:09:50
  Speaker 2: hear this now. I'm excited to bring him on. Exactly.
• 2:09:52
  Speaker 7: Right.
• 2:09:54
  Speaker 2: I mean, this was the biggest thing going on in this.
• 2:09:56
  Speaker 2: What's he going to talk about? Freedom? Kids who have
• 2:09:58
  Speaker 2: no money? Now they want to make $ 10 million a year?
• 2:10:01
  Speaker 2: That's not what college sports is all about. I mean, look,
• 2:10:05
  Speaker 2: their likeness, they should be compensated 100%. The university should
• 2:10:10
  Speaker 2: do something. But this has gone completely out of whack.
• 2:10:13
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 2:10:14
  Speaker 2: It was him and Rand Paul. Rand Paul's a douche.
• 2:10:20
  Speaker 2: He was great with, what's his name, the doctor guy
• 2:10:24
  Speaker 2: that killed us all with COVID. Oh, Fauci. Yeah, Fauci.
• 2:10:28
  Speaker 2: But otherwise, Rand Paul is a waste of time. Just
• 2:10:31
  Speaker 2: a complete waste of time. I can't stand him. Well,
• 2:10:34
  Speaker 2: we'll take a break then and talk to that guy
• 2:10:35
  Speaker 2: from Florida. He was my governor. He's now a great senator.
• 2:10:39
  Speaker 2: I consider him a dear friend. But not anymore.
• 2:10:42
  Speaker 6: Until now.
• 2:10:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 2:10:44
  Speaker 21: That's it.
• 2:10:44
  Speaker 2: I'm done. Rick Scott, back on Sid and Friends in
• 2:10:47
  Speaker 2: the Morning.
• 2:10:48
  Speaker 1: Sid and Friends.
• 2:10:50
  Speaker 3: In the Morning on the Red Apple Podcast Network.
• 2:10:54
  Speaker 2: I'm very proud of Randy, and so is Trump. I
• 2:10:56
  Speaker 2: actually talked about Randy with President Trump in the Oval
• 2:11:00
  Speaker 2: Office last Thursday. I really did. And we talked specifically
• 2:11:04
  Speaker 2: about the Protect College Sports Act. And I figured that
• 2:11:09
  Speaker 2: all my friends, the people that I really love in politics,
• 2:11:13
  Speaker 2: it's a very short list. I'm nice to most people,
• 2:11:16
  Speaker 2: but I only love a short few. Rick Scott I
• 2:11:18
  Speaker 2: happen to love. And I figured all my friends and
• 2:11:21
  Speaker 2: the smart politicians were on board. And then I find
• 2:11:24
  Speaker 2: out this morning, Rand Paul, I get it. Outside of
• 2:11:27
  Speaker 2: Anthony Fauci, Rand Paul has done nothing good for us. Nothing.
• 2:11:30
  Speaker 2: He's a backstabber as far as I'm concerned. But Rick
• 2:11:33
  Speaker 2: Scott would be against the Protect College Sports Act? You
• 2:11:37
  Speaker 2: got kids going to four schools in four years, making
• 2:11:40
  Speaker 2: more money in college? than the NFL? Actually going back
• 2:11:44
  Speaker 2: to college from the NFL? Women's programs getting slashed all
• 2:11:48
  Speaker 2: over the country? Rick, I love you. I love you
• 2:11:50
  Speaker 2: a lot. Why in God's name would you be against this?
• 2:11:54
  Speaker 2: This is common sense.
• 2:11:57
  Speaker 18: Oh, I think there's a lot of good things that
• 2:11:59
  Speaker 18: built in. I think there's actually a lot of good things,
• 2:12:01
  Speaker 18: and I think we need to do something. Here's my
• 2:12:03
  Speaker 18: problem with it. Number one, we have $ 40 trillion of debt.
• 2:12:09
  Speaker 18: $ 40 trillion of debt, right? We're spending this bill to
• 2:12:13
  Speaker 18: protect college sports. Why are we spending about $ 200 million
• 2:12:16
  Speaker 18: to give away to certain schools and not others? That's
• 2:12:19
  Speaker 18: number one. And that won't fix it. Number two is,
• 2:12:22
  Speaker 18: why do we want to be involved in when people
• 2:12:24
  Speaker 18: can hire a coach? I understand a lot of the
• 2:12:26
  Speaker 18: stuff with regard to protecting our athletes. That makes sense.
• 2:12:28
  Speaker 18: But I don't understand that part. And number three is, why,
• 2:12:31
  Speaker 18: if somebody wants to change conferences regularly, Why did they
• 2:12:34
  Speaker 18: put in there they have to become independent for five years?
• 2:12:37
  Speaker 18: That means that you decimate your program for five years
• 2:12:41
  Speaker 18: to change a conference. Those things don't have to be
• 2:12:44
  Speaker 18: in the bill. I've been saying all along, I want
• 2:12:45
  Speaker 18: to vote for the bill. And when it gets out
• 2:12:48
  Speaker 18: of the House, I think it's going to become a
• 2:12:49
  Speaker 18: better bill. But in the meantime, they need to fix
• 2:12:52
  Speaker 18: these things. Let's protect college sports the right way. But
• 2:12:55
  Speaker 18: we don't need to be spending money that we don't have.
• 2:12:57
  Speaker 18: It's all going to be borrowed. We don't need to
• 2:12:59
  Speaker 18: tell people when they're going to hire a coach, and
• 2:13:01
  Speaker 18: we don't need to tell people that they have to
• 2:13:03
  Speaker 18: go with no money for five years and decimate the
• 2:13:05
  Speaker 18: program if they want to change a conference.
• 2:13:07
  Speaker 2: Okay. I mean, look, the amount of money is really
• 2:13:10
  Speaker 2: nothing compared to the deficit you just talked about. So
• 2:13:14
  Speaker 2: what you're saying is you like most of the stuff
• 2:13:17
  Speaker 2: in the bill. Okay. So you're not completely against it?
• 2:13:22
  Speaker 10: No.
• 2:13:23
  Speaker 18: No, I've told them all along, I want to vote
• 2:13:25
  Speaker 18: for Bill. I think we ought to be– I think
• 2:13:29
  Speaker 18: there's a lot of good things. Protect these athletes. I
• 2:13:31
  Speaker 18: think that really is smart. But some of this other stuff,
• 2:13:35
  Speaker 18: why are we doing it? I mean, at some point,
• 2:13:39
  Speaker 18: we have to say to ourselves, we have inflation because
• 2:13:42
  Speaker 18: we're spending money we don't have. This does more of it.
• 2:13:46
  Speaker 27: Like, why?
• 2:13:47
  Speaker 18: No one can explain to me why they do that
• 2:13:49
  Speaker 18: and why a school like FSU or the University of
• 2:13:52
  Speaker 18: Miami or any other school that might just want to
• 2:13:54
  Speaker 18: change their conference down the road, they can't do it.
• 2:13:57
  Speaker 18: It just doesn't make their program.
• 2:14:00
  Speaker 2: All right, well, look into these issues you have, Rick Scott,
• 2:14:03
  Speaker 2: with this and talk to the people that put this
• 2:14:05
  Speaker 2: thing together. I'll have more answers for you, actually, in
• 2:14:07
  Speaker 2: the next couple of days. That's Rick Scott, Senator of
• 2:14:10
  Speaker 2: the state of Florida. He was my governor. He's a
• 2:14:12
  Speaker 2: great guy. I really do love him. So the president
• 2:14:14
  Speaker 2: was here last Monday, Rick, and he made his way
• 2:14:17
  Speaker 2: to Gracie Mansion. You know how much I love President Trump.
• 2:14:21
  Speaker 2: You know it, okay? And I was still very critical.
• 2:14:24
  Speaker 2: Every blog, every paper read, MAGA radio host, number one
• 2:14:28
  Speaker 2: Trump supporter, Sid Rosenberg, rips the president. And I did.
• 2:14:32
  Speaker 2: And I don't think he cares. And in fact, I
• 2:14:34
  Speaker 2: think he would get angry. He'd be like, Sid, I
• 2:14:36
  Speaker 2: love you. Don't tell me who I can and can't
• 2:14:38
  Speaker 2: meet with. That's what Trump would say. Trust me, I
• 2:14:40
  Speaker 2: know President Trump very, very well. But to meet with
• 2:14:43
  Speaker 2: the guy at Gracie and then to compliment him, say
• 2:14:47
  Speaker 2: he could turn out to be a great mayor, he's
• 2:14:50
  Speaker 2: done nothing. This guy's done nothing so far in eight
• 2:14:53
  Speaker 2: months but make this city worse. So I'm not going
• 2:14:55
  Speaker 2: to lie to you. I was a little upset with
• 2:14:58
  Speaker 2: President Trump. I know he wants to make New York
• 2:15:01
  Speaker 2: City better, but can he just cool it just a
• 2:15:03
  Speaker 2: little bit with the Mondani compliments?
• 2:15:07
  Speaker 18: I agree with you, Sid. First off, here's the positive
• 2:15:10
  Speaker 18: about Trump. He'll talk to anybody. And he believes that
• 2:15:14
  Speaker 18: he can talk people into doing the right thing, right?
• 2:15:17
  Speaker 18: You're not talking Mondani into doing the right thing. He
• 2:15:20
  Speaker 18: wants to decimate this country. What he's going to do
• 2:15:22
  Speaker 18: to New York, he's going to take away all your freedoms.
• 2:15:27
  Speaker 18: If you're in business, if he wants government to run
• 2:15:29
  Speaker 18: that type of business, then they're going to run that
• 2:15:31
  Speaker 18: type of business and run you out of business. You
• 2:15:34
  Speaker 18: look at crimes going to get worse. Think about what's
• 2:15:37
  Speaker 18: important to a person. They want a job. They want
• 2:15:39
  Speaker 18: their kids to get a great education. And they want
• 2:15:41
  Speaker 18: to be safe. So on safety, he doesn't like the police.
• 2:15:45
  Speaker 18: That's number one. Number two on education, if you just
• 2:15:48
  Speaker 18: believe your only choice should be a government school, he's
• 2:15:51
  Speaker 18: going to be all in. And they'll be able to
• 2:15:53
  Speaker 18: indoctrinate you the exact way you want. So if that's
• 2:15:55
  Speaker 18: what you like, he's all in. What he wants to
• 2:15:58
  Speaker 18: do is what they did in Havana. Nobody's moving to
• 2:16:03
  Speaker 18: Havana for a job or for education or for public
• 2:16:06
  Speaker 18: safety or for health care. That's what this guy Mandami
• 2:16:09
  Speaker 18: is going to do. So I appreciate what President Trump
• 2:16:12
  Speaker 18: wants to do. He wants to talk to people. But
• 2:16:15
  Speaker 18: this guy wants to decimate your way of life. So
• 2:16:19
  Speaker 18: you eventually have to come back to Miami.
• 2:16:22
  Speaker 2: Well, you know, my son is a senior in high school,
• 2:16:25
  Speaker 2: Rick Scott. And he's looking at seven schools. Six of
• 2:16:29
  Speaker 2: them are in Florida. Six of them. So my wife
• 2:16:32
  Speaker 2: and I plan on buying a place down there in
• 2:16:35
  Speaker 2: the very, very near future where Gabby's going to go
• 2:16:37
  Speaker 2: to school. And I'll spend more time down there because
• 2:16:40
  Speaker 2: you guys actually know how to run a state. I mean, look,
• 2:16:43
  Speaker 2: I got to give you credit with this, too. The
• 2:16:46
  Speaker 2: Screen Act, okay? Why would anybody in a million years,
• 2:16:51
  Speaker 2: Rick Scott, be against the Screen Act?
• 2:16:55
  Speaker 18: It makes no sense. All this bill says is that
• 2:16:58
  Speaker 18: we're going to make sure foreign child predators can't get
• 2:17:02
  Speaker 18: a visa or gain access to hurt American children. That
• 2:17:05
  Speaker 18: sounds like it should be easy. We have the data.
• 2:17:08
  Speaker 18: We have a database that we don't share with Homeland
• 2:17:12
  Speaker 18: Security and the State Department. Does that make any sense?
• 2:17:15
  Speaker 18: A federal government, the same federal government has a database
• 2:17:18
  Speaker 18: where they know people are sexual predators and we don't
• 2:17:21
  Speaker 18: share it to prevent these people from coming to our
• 2:17:23
  Speaker 18: country to hurt our kids.
• 2:17:24
  Speaker 2: It's crazy.
• 2:17:25
  Speaker 14: Crazy.
• 2:17:26
  Speaker 2: But Marco Rubio knows about this, Rick?
• 2:17:30
  Speaker 18: Yeah. Marco's not against it. But we've got to pass
• 2:17:35
  Speaker 18: a law to give them access. First off, I don't
• 2:17:38
  Speaker 18: understand why we have to pass a law like that.
• 2:17:40
  Speaker 18: This should be so simple. They ought to be able
• 2:17:42
  Speaker 18: to do it on their own. But we do have
• 2:17:43
  Speaker 18: to pass a law. But Democrats, of course, never, ever,
• 2:17:47
  Speaker 18: ever want to do anything like this. I mean, it's
• 2:17:49
  Speaker 18: like they represent the bad people, it seems like. That's
• 2:17:52
  Speaker 18: who they think they represent. People here illegally that want
• 2:17:55
  Speaker 18: to harm our kids or people here, criminals. They defend
• 2:17:59
  Speaker 18: these people. I mean, the Democrats have gone absolutely bananas.
• 2:18:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's being nice.
• 2:18:04
  Speaker 18: We've got to fight for them.
• 2:18:06
  Speaker 2: I think they're evil.
• 2:18:06
  Speaker 18: We've got to fight for Americans.
• 2:18:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think you're being nice. I think the Democrats
• 2:18:09
  Speaker 2: are actually evil. And I got to tell you, talking
• 2:18:12
  Speaker 2: about China, this is the amazing senator from Florida, Rick Scott.
• 2:18:15
  Speaker 2: I do love this guy. You know, we talk about
• 2:18:17
  Speaker 2: the AI race. We talk about China helping out Iran,
• 2:18:20
  Speaker 2: which they definitely are. I know she had a nice
• 2:18:23
  Speaker 2: visit here a couple of days ago and seemed very,
• 2:18:26
  Speaker 2: very pleasant. But something you talk about, which I think
• 2:18:29
  Speaker 2: is also a huge issue, fighting to end the birth
• 2:18:32
  Speaker 2: tourism from communist China. Here, you got ladies here. It
• 2:18:36
  Speaker 2: was one lady in Brooklyn. It's a true story, Rick.
• 2:18:38
  Speaker 2: She had 26 children, 26, just to make sure that
• 2:18:42
  Speaker 2: these Chinese babies had access to the United States. Who
• 2:18:47
  Speaker 2: the hell wants that? You know who wants that? Democrats.
• 2:18:51
  Speaker 9: Right.
• 2:18:51
  Speaker 18: They blocked it twice. I don't build it. It's real simple.
• 2:18:54
  Speaker 18: If you're a member of the CCP or part of
• 2:18:57
  Speaker 18: the Russian government, Iran or North Korea, you cannot send
• 2:19:02
  Speaker 18: a sperm and egg over here and have a baby
• 2:19:05
  Speaker 18: that would be an American citizen through an American surrogate.
• 2:19:07
  Speaker 18: You can't do it. There's a guy in China that
• 2:19:10
  Speaker 18: has somewhere between 100 and 300 kids that way. So
• 2:19:12
  Speaker 18: you can have them here, take them back, indoctrinate them.
• 2:19:16
  Speaker 18: And then when they're 18, they come back here. They
• 2:19:18
  Speaker 18: can join our military. They can go to our universities.
• 2:19:21
  Speaker 18: They have all the rights of an American citizen. Does
• 2:19:23
  Speaker 18: that make any sense? They never even have to– the
• 2:19:26
  Speaker 18: parents never even have to kind of step foot in
• 2:19:28
  Speaker 18: the United States. but they can have an American kid.
• 2:19:31
  Speaker 10: Crazy.
• 2:19:32
  Speaker 2: No, it makes no sense. The AI race. I'm more
• 2:19:34
  Speaker 2: with president Trump. I tend to be with president Trump
• 2:19:37
  Speaker 2: on most things to be honest, but I'm more with him.
• 2:19:39
  Speaker 2: I think we got to win the race against China.
• 2:19:42
  Speaker 2: I know there are some issues. I get it, kind
• 2:19:44
  Speaker 2: of like data centers. I know there are issues, but
• 2:19:46
  Speaker 2: I'm all for them. So there's two sides here. There's
• 2:19:48
  Speaker 2: the Trump side. We just got to beat China. Then
• 2:19:51
  Speaker 2: there's the other side, some of these people at the
• 2:19:53
  Speaker 2: White House today, which is saying, no, it's getting too dangerous.
• 2:19:56
  Speaker 2: We need guardrails. Some of these bots are going to
• 2:19:58
  Speaker 2: take over the world. What do you think, Rick Scott?
• 2:20:01
  Speaker 18: Well, first off, we cannot lose in the AI race.
• 2:20:05
  Speaker 18: If we lose in the AI race, it will put
• 2:20:06
  Speaker 18: us behind and China will be the leader. That's number one.
• 2:20:09
  Speaker 18: Number two is if you're creating an AI company and
• 2:20:12
  Speaker 18: running it, you have an obligation and you're going to
• 2:20:15
  Speaker 18: be held accountable. If you kill my kid or my
• 2:20:17
  Speaker 18: grandkid or you do something to destroy mankind, you are
• 2:20:21
  Speaker 18: the ones responsible. You're the ones that are doing it.
• 2:20:23
  Speaker 18: And with regard to data centers, we have to make
• 2:20:27
  Speaker 18: sure the local citizens have the opportunity to make sure
• 2:20:29
  Speaker 18: there's no increased costs, there's no environmental problems, there's no
• 2:20:32
  Speaker 18: water problems. But we have to understand that we have
• 2:20:35
  Speaker 18: to compete with China and we have to win for
• 2:20:38
  Speaker 18: our livelihood.
• 2:20:40
  Speaker 2: That's the bottom line. Iran conflict, Rick Scott, do you
• 2:20:43
  Speaker 2: see it coming to an end anytime soon? Absolutely.
• 2:20:47
  Speaker 18: First off, you have to admire what this president's done.
• 2:20:50
  Speaker 18: He said, I know war is not popular. I know
• 2:20:52
  Speaker 18: high gas prices are not popular, but I don't want
• 2:20:54
  Speaker 18: you American citizens to be killed by a nuclear weapon.
• 2:20:57
  Speaker 18: And he's held Iran accountable. He's decimated their economy. They're
• 2:21:01
  Speaker 18: going to come to their knees, and the right thing
• 2:21:04
  Speaker 18: is going to happen. I hope it happens really quickly,
• 2:21:07
  Speaker 18: but it's going to happen because this president cares about
• 2:21:09
  Speaker 18: the American public.
• 2:21:10
  Speaker 2: 35 days. That's a big number, Rick Scott.
• 2:21:12
  Speaker 10: 35.
• 2:21:13
  Speaker 2: That's the amount of days we're away from these midterm elections.
• 2:21:17
  Speaker 2: It's getting close and to a certain extent getting scary
• 2:21:20
  Speaker 2: because we really need to win this. Rick Scott, we
• 2:21:23
  Speaker 2: need to win these midterms. How do you feel 35
• 2:21:26
  Speaker 2: days out?
• 2:21:28
  Speaker 18: Oh, I think we're going to win. The Democrats are
• 2:21:29
  Speaker 18: going crazy. Now, we have to get our message out.
• 2:21:31
  Speaker 18: We have to say, here's why you should vote for us.
• 2:21:34
  Speaker 18: I won in 18. Only Republicans won in a swing
• 2:21:36
  Speaker 18: state that didn't win in 18. Why did I do it?
• 2:21:38
  Speaker 18: I talked about the issues that people care about. Jobs,
• 2:21:40
  Speaker 18: education for the kids, public safety, national safety. Talk about
• 2:21:44
  Speaker 18: those things and explain that socialism is going to destroy
• 2:21:47
  Speaker 18: your life and destroy all your freedoms. We do that,
• 2:21:49
  Speaker 18: we win.
• 2:21:50
  Speaker 2: So on the way out here, Gabriel applied to FSU
• 2:21:54
  Speaker 2: and Florida, USF, UCF, FAU, just about every school. Loves Miami, too.
• 2:21:59
  Speaker 2: That's a private university. Where would you suggest that me
• 2:22:03
  Speaker 2: and Danielle send our son? Do you have a favorite
• 2:22:05
  Speaker 2: school down there? Do you love them all?
• 2:22:08
  Speaker 18: I love them all. We have great schools. They have
• 2:22:11
  Speaker 18: great programs. It depends on what he wants to do.
• 2:22:14
  Speaker 18: Different schools have different programs that have better results. As
• 2:22:19
  Speaker 18: far as helping people get jobs. But we have great
• 2:22:21
  Speaker 18: schools all across the state of Florida.
• 2:22:23
  Speaker 1: He'll love Florida.
• 2:22:24
  Speaker 2: He grew up there. He was born there. He was
• 2:22:27
  Speaker 2: born in West Boca Medical Center, Rick Scott.
• 2:22:30
  Speaker 28: Oh, that's nice.
• 2:22:34
  Speaker 2: We have great hospitals, too, Matt. He was actually diagnosed
• 2:22:37
  Speaker 2: as a little boy with a disability at Miami Children's Hospital.
• 2:22:40
  Speaker 2: So you guys, you do it all great down there.
• 2:22:42
  Speaker 2: And you, Rick Scott, you know I mean this. I
• 2:22:45
  Speaker 2: don't just say this to patronize you. You are one
• 2:22:47
  Speaker 2: of our greatest. You really are. Great American, dear friend.
• 2:22:50
  Speaker 2: I love you. Thank you, Rick Scott.
• 2:22:52
  Speaker 18: Thanks, Sid.
• 2:22:53
  Speaker 7: Have a great day.
• 2:22:53
  Speaker 24: Bye-bye.
• 2:22:53
  Speaker 2: You too. God bless you. Rick Scott right there, our
• 2:22:56
  Speaker 2: great Florida senator, the former governor. We'll come back and
• 2:22:59
  Speaker 2: wrap things up. It's been a great Tuesday right here
• 2:23:01
  Speaker 2: on Sid and Friends in the Morning.
• 2:23:04
  Speaker 26: Sid and Friends in the Morning on the Red Apple
• 2:23:07
  Speaker 26: Podcast Network.
• 2:23:09
  Speaker 2: The prettiest one was the black girl. I forgot her name,
• 2:23:11
  Speaker 2: but she was.
• 2:23:14
  Speaker 5: Lark.
• 2:23:14
  Speaker 2: Larkin. Lark Voorhees. Lark Voorhees. Very good, yes. Nice job.
• 2:23:18
  Speaker 6: Oh, I had quite a childhood.
• 2:23:19
  Speaker 2: Oh, no, she was beautiful, Locke Voorhees.
• 2:23:21
  Speaker 6: Oh, she still is.
• 2:23:22
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 2:23:22
  Speaker 2: Is she still pretty? I haven't seen these people in
• 2:23:25
  Speaker 2: a long time, so.
• 2:23:26
  Speaker 6: I saw her about 20 blocks.
• 2:23:28
  Speaker 2: Down by the night. Dustin Diamond's dead, Screech.
• 2:23:31
  Speaker 6: Oh, Screech is gone.
• 2:23:32
  Speaker 2: He died, yeah. Yeah.
• 2:23:33
  Speaker 11: Right.
• 2:23:34
  Speaker 2: But so now you got two members that are gone
• 2:23:37
  Speaker 2: from Saved by the Bell. That was a good show.
• 2:23:39
  Speaker 6: I wouldn't walk around with them right now.
• 2:23:41
  Speaker 10: No.
• 2:23:41
  Speaker 2: Well, Tiffany and Bethesda went on to become a big
• 2:23:43
  Speaker 2: star on 90210, of course. Was she like Jason Priestley's
• 2:23:49
  Speaker 2: girlfriend or relative? I forget. I forget. He was Dylan, right?
• 2:23:53
  Speaker 2: Or Luke, I forget. I don't know.
• 2:23:55
  Speaker 4: No.
• 2:23:56
  Speaker 2: He's dead, too. The guy that played... That played Luke. Luke.
• 2:24:00
  Speaker 10: Yes.
• 2:24:00
  Speaker 2: He gone.
• 2:24:01
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 2:24:01
  Speaker 2: He died. A young man, too. And the guy that
• 2:24:04
  Speaker 2: played in Dawson's Creek is dead.
• 2:24:06
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 2:24:07
  Speaker 2: James Van Der Beek. Varsity Blues.
• 2:24:10
  Speaker 21: Yikes.
• 2:24:12
  Speaker 2: Now, these people, unlike... A lot of the childhood doctors,
• 2:24:15
  Speaker 2: when I was a kid, they died from diseases like cancer.
• 2:24:19
  Speaker 2: And when I was a kid, they all OD'd. Dana
• 2:24:22
  Speaker 2: Plato was the most recent, I guess, from that era,
• 2:24:26
  Speaker 2: different strokes.
• 2:24:28
  Speaker 6: What about Gary Coleman?
• 2:24:30
  Speaker 2: Is he dead, Gary Coleman? I don't even remember. I
• 2:24:33
  Speaker 2: don't know. But a bunch of them died from back then. Well,
• 2:24:36
  Speaker 2: I don't even remember all the names. But I think
• 2:24:39
  Speaker 2: he is dead.
• 2:24:40
  Speaker 6: 2010.
• 2:24:41
  Speaker 7: 2010.
• 2:24:41
  Speaker 2: He was a pretty young guy when he died, too.
• 2:24:43
  Speaker 2: I think the only one that lived was Todd Bridges.
• 2:24:45
  Speaker 10: 42.
• 2:24:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, young guy. Young guy. All right, well, the good
• 2:24:49
  Speaker 2: news is we've got Yankee baseball tonight. We don't want
• 2:24:52
  Speaker 2: to leave you on a depressing note. We'll all be
• 2:24:55
  Speaker 2: in the Bronx as the Yankees take on the Red Sox.
• 2:24:58
  Speaker 2: The march towards their 28th championship starts in the Bronx
• 2:25:05
