  Speaker 1: Sid and Friends in the Morning. Entertaining and informative.
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: On the Red Apple Podcast Network.
• 0:09
  Speaker 3: Sid, you've not only become one of the great voices
• 0:12
  Speaker 3: of New York and America, you're one of the greatest
• 0:15
  Speaker 3: voices of truth for Israel. And there's a reason you
• 0:18
  Speaker 3: have such an enormous audience. You don't blabber woke nonsense.
• 0:23
  Speaker 3: You don't tell people what the fashionable crowd thinks they
• 0:25
  Speaker 3: should hear. You tell them the truth. The hard truth.
• 0:30
  Speaker 3: And you tell it with passion, with humor, and with
• 0:33
  Speaker 3: absolutely no fear. Sid, I want you to know, Israel
• 0:38
  Speaker 3: knows who its friends are. You have stood with us
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: when it was popular, and more importantly, when it wasn't.
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: That means a great deal to me. It means a
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: great deal to the people of Israel. So thank you, Sid.
• 0:50
  Speaker 4: Well, I guess I'll start with this. I can't believe
• 0:56
  Speaker 4: I'm Madison Square Garden with all you people. I've been
• 1:02
  Speaker 4: in this building many, many times. I've seen Mark Messier
• 1:05
  Speaker 4: score game-winning goals. Ron Duguay scored game-winning goals. Patrick Ewing
• 1:11
  Speaker 4: made big baskets. Too young to remember Clyde Frazier. Same building,
• 1:16
  Speaker 4: of course, with Muhammad Ali, Billy Joel, and Frank Sinatra.
• 1:23
  Speaker 4: A building made of champions and all-time greats. But ladies
• 1:27
  Speaker 4: and gentlemen, don't confuse the issue. The greatest champion of
• 1:31
  Speaker 4: all will be backstage in about an hour. He is
• 1:35
  Speaker 4: the 45th and soon to be 47th president of the
• 1:38
  Speaker 4: United States, the great Donald J. Trump.
• 1:46
  Speaker 5: To our friends in the state of Israel, we stand
• 1:48
  Speaker 5: shoulder to shoulder with you in so many ways. The
• 1:52
  Speaker 5: Holy Land, the Judeo-Christian belief system, democracies, And we fight together,
• 1:59
  Speaker 5: shoulder to shoulder. We have a huge military presence in
• 2:03
  Speaker 5: the Middle East against a common enemy, the Islamist Nazi
• 2:08
  Speaker 5: regime in Tehran. And we together have done a hell
• 2:12
  Speaker 5: of a job. And clearly there's more that's going to
• 2:15
  Speaker 5: be done. President Donald Trump, our great president, has made
• 2:20
  Speaker 5: it clear not once but twice in an extraordinarily strong
• 2:24
  Speaker 5: endorsement that he is hopeful that you will vote Benjamin
• 2:29
  Speaker 5: Netanyahu prime minister again, because that's the partner he wants
• 2:35
  Speaker 5: to finish the job.
• 2:37
  Speaker 6: Not only that, look at the opposition.
• 2:41
  Speaker 5: You have some strange people running, let's be honest. You've
• 2:45
  Speaker 5: got an individual by the name of Winter, who claimed
• 2:47
  Speaker 5: to be right wing, and clearly he wants to throw
• 2:50
  Speaker 5: the election for.
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: The left wing.
• 2:53
  Speaker 5: You've got Eisencott, Now, what does he stand for? It's
• 2:57
  Speaker 5: actually very difficult to know. But he knows, you know,
• 3:01
  Speaker 5: and we know that he needs the Arab parties in
• 3:05
  Speaker 5: order to win and take over the government. What does
• 3:09
  Speaker 5: that mean? That means within your own government, you will
• 3:13
  Speaker 5: have party leaders who reject your nation as a Jewish state,
• 3:19
  Speaker 5: who reject what you've done with Hamas and Hezbollah and, yes, Iran.
• 3:24
  Speaker 5: How in the world can anybody vote for a party
• 3:29
  Speaker 5: or an opposition that would do that to the state
• 3:32
  Speaker 5: of Israel after October 7th? Now, it is true I'm
• 3:36
  Speaker 5: not a citizen of Israel. I'm a citizen of the
• 3:38
  Speaker 5: great United States. But I am observing what's taking place,
• 3:42
  Speaker 5: as are many Americans. In 1946, after World War II,
• 3:49
  Speaker 5: while the world was still being sorted out, the British
• 3:52
  Speaker 5: people voted Churchill out of office. They so desperately wanted
• 3:56
  Speaker 5: national health care. Well, that was devastating because what came
• 4:01
  Speaker 5: next was a change in the geography of the world
• 4:05
  Speaker 5: that benefited the Soviet Union in many respects. Well, in
• 4:09
  Speaker 5: your case, in the case of the United States, we
• 4:11
  Speaker 5: haven't finished the job. And let me tell you something. Nobody,
• 4:16
  Speaker 5: but nobody would be happier if Netanyahu and the coalition loses.
• 4:23
  Speaker 5: than the Islamo-Nazi regime in Tehran.
• 4:27
  Speaker 4: They will view it as a.
• 4:28
  Speaker 5: Great victory, a victory that those who vote for the
• 4:33
  Speaker 5: opposition will have given the Iranian regime. This is a
• 4:38
  Speaker 5: crucial vote, just like we have a crucial vote in
• 4:41
  Speaker 5: a week in the United States of America. You folks,
• 4:45
  Speaker 5: I hope, will get it right, and I hope we
• 4:47
  Speaker 5: folks in the United States will get it right too. Meanwhile,
• 4:51
  Speaker 5: Good luck and God bless.
• 4:52
  Speaker 7: Did Prime Minister Netanyahu ask you to give that second endorsement?
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: Did he plead with you about that?
• 4:57
  Speaker 8: No, I never spoke about it.
• 5:00
  Speaker 6: It wasn't an endorsement.
• 5:03
  Speaker 8: I put out both endorsements.
• 5:04
  Speaker 9: I put out both.
• 5:05
  Speaker 10: It was just a– I think he's done a very
• 5:08
  Speaker 10: good job as prime minister under very trying conditions.
• 5:13
  Speaker 11: Hi, this is George Pataki, and I was proud to
• 5:15
  Speaker 11: be your governor for 12 years. And now I'm proud
• 5:18
  Speaker 11: to be sitting next to Sarita Kamikrani, who's going to
• 5:21
  Speaker 11: be our next attorney general. She has the right background,
• 5:24
  Speaker 11: 12 years as a federal prosecutor for Republicans and Democrats.
• 5:29
  Speaker 11: She has the right policies to make sure that our neighborhoods.
• 5:32
  Speaker 4: And streets are safe.
• 5:34
  Speaker 11: The mentally ill homeless deserve to be getting help in
• 5:37
  Speaker 11: secure institutions and not threatening us on our streets. Repeat
• 5:42
  Speaker 11: criminals need to be incarcerated and not out on the
• 5:45
  Speaker 11: street where they pose a threat to our safety. Saritha
• 5:49
  Speaker 11: will make public security her number one priority as Attorney General.
• 5:54
  Speaker 11: And I know she'll be a great Attorney General.
• 5:57
  Speaker 4: Thank you, Governor.
• 5:58
  Speaker 12: It's such an honor to have your endorsement and support
• 6:00
  Speaker 12: in this race. I'm running for New York Attorney General
• 6:03
  Speaker 12: to make New York safer. I was born in Brooklyn.
• 6:05
  Speaker 12: I'm a daughter of immigrants. And I currently live in
• 6:07
  Speaker 12: Manhattan with my husband and four kids, two sets of twins.
• 6:10
  Speaker 12: And we want the same thing that every family in
• 6:12
  Speaker 12: New York wants. We want to be able to walk
• 6:14
  Speaker 12: down the street and not worry about being victimized by criminals,
• 6:18
  Speaker 12: not worry about seeing mentally ill homeless abandoned on the streets.
• 6:22
  Speaker 12: We want to make sure that New York is there
• 6:23
  Speaker 12: for everyone, innocent, hardworking New Yorkers who are following the
• 6:26
  Speaker 12: rules and don't deserve to be ripped off, and making
• 6:30
  Speaker 12: sure that people who are sick or homeless are getting
• 6:32
  Speaker 12: the care they need, not just being abandoned by our systems.
• 6:35
  Speaker 12: That's really what I'm focused on, using the powers and
• 6:38
  Speaker 12: resources of the Attorney General's office to help every New Yorker.
• 6:42
  Speaker 12: As a federal prosecutor for 12 years, I worked with
• 6:45
  Speaker 12: Democrats and Republicans. I worked for Democrats and Republicans for
• 6:48
  Speaker 12: one simple reason. Public safety is not political. And I
• 6:51
  Speaker 12: will carry that same principle with me into the Attorney
• 6:54
  Speaker 12: General's office. The job of the Attorney General is to
• 6:57
  Speaker 12: protect every New Yorker, regardless of race, religion, or politics.
• 7:01
  Speaker 12: Protect every New Yorker from crime and from violations.
• 7:05
  Speaker 8: Of their rights.
• 7:05
  Speaker 12: I will do that against anyone who's on the other side.
• 7:09
  Speaker 12: Thank you very much, and I hope I will earn
• 7:11
  Speaker 12: your support on November 3rd.
• 7:12
  Speaker 10: You have to remember, the White House, we have to
• 7:15
  Speaker 10: explain that to Obama because he doesn't understand it, because
• 7:18
  Speaker 10: he's not a smart guy. Let me tell you, in
• 7:20
  Speaker 10: my opinion, he's not smart at all. because the way
• 7:23
  Speaker 10: he ran the country, only a stupid person would run
• 7:26
  Speaker 10: the country like that. But we have to explain to
• 7:28
  Speaker 10: Obama that the White House is a symbol of America,
• 7:32
  Speaker 10: and it has to be maintained properly. It has to
• 7:34
  Speaker 10: be painted, and the exterior plaster can't be falling off
• 7:38
  Speaker 10: the walls. And the decorations and ornaments around the windows
• 7:42
  Speaker 10: that are magnificent can't be on one side of the
• 7:45
  Speaker 10: window and fallen off on the other side. So we
• 7:48
  Speaker 10: took molds of the one side and we put it
• 7:50
  Speaker 10: on the other side and we did.
• 7:52
  Speaker 6: A beautiful job. Very little money spent.
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: It's not about money.
• 7:55
  Speaker 10: It's about seeing. Guys like Obama don't see it. You
• 7:59
  Speaker 10: don't see dirt.
• 8:00
  Speaker 6: He doesn't see filth. He doesn't see broken ornaments on
• 8:04
  Speaker 6: a building.
• 8:05
  Speaker 10: The White House to President Obama is a symbol of America.
• 8:11
  Speaker 10: It has to be clean. The columns can't be broken.
• 8:15
  Speaker 10: The bricks can't be falling off from under the plaster.
• 8:21
  Speaker 10: For you to say it's a cheesecake factory, that just
• 8:24
  Speaker 10: shows why you were a lousy president.
• 8:26
  Speaker 13: The Rangers family mourns the passing of one of the
• 8:29
  Speaker 13: most beloved players in franchise history, Ron Duguay. During his
• 8:35
  Speaker 13: eight seasons with the Blue Shirts, Ron captivated the Garden
• 8:39
  Speaker 13: faithful with his electrifying skating style, signature flowing hair, and
• 8:45
  Speaker 13: larger-than-life personality. A 40-goal scorer who helped lead the Rangers
• 8:50
  Speaker 13: to the 1979 Stanley Cup Final, Ron became more than
• 8:55
  Speaker 13: a fan favorite. He was a New York icon whose
• 8:59
  Speaker 13: impact extended far beyond the ice. Through his generosity, charitable efforts,
• 9:06
  Speaker 13: and passion for helping others, Ron touched countless lives and
• 9:10
  Speaker 13: left a lasting legacy within the Rangers community. At this time,
• 9:16
  Speaker 13: we ask that you please join us in a moment
• 9:18
  Speaker 13: of silence as we honor the life and memory of
• 9:22
  Speaker 13: Ron Duguay.
• 9:24
  Speaker 4: The great Ronnie Duguay, number 10. Rangers, he died last week,
• 9:29
  Speaker 4: and last night they did that lovely tribute. The Rangers
• 9:34
  Speaker 4: did not do enough for Ron Duguay when he was sick.
• 9:38
  Speaker 4: I told Jim Dolan that right to his face inside
• 9:42
  Speaker 4: the box with Bruce Blakeman. at Blakeman's fundraiser last week,
• 9:47
  Speaker 4: right before the Knicks started the season. It was a
• 9:51
  Speaker 4: preseason game against the Toronto Raptors. I was there. I
• 9:55
  Speaker 4: had a chance to talk to Jim Dolan. I said,
• 9:58
  Speaker 4: Ronnie's not doing well. You guys haven't done much for him.
• 10:01
  Speaker 4: In fact, the Islanders have done more for Ronnie than
• 10:03
  Speaker 4: you have. So let's make something happen here. And the
• 10:08
  Speaker 4: sad part is Ronnie was dead about five days later.
• 10:12
  Speaker 4: So the Rangers are Did a nice job last night.
• 10:16
  Speaker 4: There's no doubt about it. That was a nice tribute
• 10:19
  Speaker 4: for Ron. You know, I did get a text. I
• 10:22
  Speaker 4: got a bunch from Sarah Palin, his girlfriend. You guys
• 10:26
  Speaker 4: remember Sarah Palin. Right when Ron died. But the last
• 10:29
  Speaker 4: text I got was Saturday into Sunday morning, 1.10 a.m.
• 10:36
  Speaker 4: And here's what Sarah had to say. Beyond gutted, Sid.
• 10:42
  Speaker 4: Sucks more than I'd ever imagined. despite having some time
• 10:46
  Speaker 4: to maybe prepare for it, it's surreal and impossible and
• 10:52
  Speaker 4: just sucks. Comfort in being by his side those last
• 10:57
  Speaker 4: tough times. Watching him pass peacefully, just so sad. And
• 11:04
  Speaker 4: he loved you dearly. How nice is that? And he
• 11:07
  Speaker 4: loved you dearly. Sarah Palin. And Ron Duguay, the Rangers,
• 11:13
  Speaker 4: lost last night. I always make note of that, Norman Liu,
• 11:17
  Speaker 4: that if you're going to do a big tribute to somebody,
• 11:20
  Speaker 4: at least win the game, right? If we're going to
• 11:22
  Speaker 4: hand out the rings, the championship rings, and have this
• 11:27
  Speaker 4: huge ceremony with Mike Breen and all these greats, at
• 11:30
  Speaker 4: least go out and win. And the Knicks didn't. They
• 11:33
  Speaker 4: haven't won a game yet, in fact. They're taking on
• 11:36
  Speaker 4: the only unbeaten team left inside the Eastern Conference, the
• 11:40
  Speaker 4: 3-0 Detroit Pistons, later on tonight. And the Rangers lost
• 11:45
  Speaker 4: last night, too, on a night they did their tribute
• 11:48
  Speaker 4: to Ron Duguay. Does that matter to them that I
• 11:53
  Speaker 4: think the team should go out and win?
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: It would be nice if they did. But, you know,
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: good that they did the tribute.
• 11:59
  Speaker 4: It was beautiful. It was very, very nice. Well, it
• 12:01
  Speaker 4: goes to see.
• 12:02
  Speaker 14: that things are not scripted all over the place. Sports
• 12:05
  Speaker 14: is really the only place left where you don't know
• 12:09
  Speaker 14: what's going to happen.
• 12:09
  Speaker 4: Sometimes. There's a lot of argument about that, too. A
• 12:13
  Speaker 4: lot of argument about the refs in the NFL and
• 12:16
  Speaker 4: what games are fixed and what games aren't. But I'm
• 12:19
  Speaker 4: with you, Lou. The overwhelming majority of games, or maybe
• 12:22
  Speaker 4: all of them, you just don't know. I don't necessarily
• 12:25
  Speaker 4: buy into the every game is fixed nonsense. That's usually...
• 12:28
  Speaker 4: Somebody took a beating on that game last night who
• 12:31
  Speaker 4: was saying stuff like that.
• 12:32
  Speaker 14: Well, if that was true, we would be looking at
• 12:35
  Speaker 14: a different World Series probably right now.
• 12:37
  Speaker 4: Probably.
• 12:37
  Speaker 6: I don't think if baseball.
• 12:40
  Speaker 4: Well, it's hard to fix baseball. But football, you can
• 12:43
  Speaker 4: throw an interference flag. I mean, there's a lot of
• 12:46
  Speaker 4: stuff that happens in football that is definitely eye-opening at
• 12:49
  Speaker 4: the very least. You know, you've got coaches that are
• 12:52
  Speaker 4: kicking field goals down by 30 yards. When their team
• 12:56
  Speaker 4: is getting three and a half. I mean, there's just
• 12:58
  Speaker 4: all kinds of strange stuff happens in the NFL that
• 13:02
  Speaker 4: you can't fix a game much easier in that league. NBA, too.
• 13:06
  Speaker 4: Start calling fouls down the stretch. Baseball, almost impossible to fix.
• 13:11
  Speaker 4: Can't do it. And the Brewers, they've got a chance
• 13:15
  Speaker 4: to sweep the Dodgers. They've already done that. They already
• 13:19
  Speaker 4: swept the Dodgers. But sweep the Rays and win the
• 13:22
  Speaker 4: World Series.
• 13:23
  Speaker 8: Now, look.
• 13:24
  Speaker 4: They were the best team in baseball all year long.
• 13:27
  Speaker 4: 103 wins. One of only two teams, along with the Dodgers,
• 13:31
  Speaker 4: to win at least 100 games. Tampa Bay won 98.
• 13:34
  Speaker 4: So the Brewers have been the best team in baseball
• 13:37
  Speaker 4: all year, and it's not often you get the number
• 13:40
  Speaker 4: one overall seed ride it all the way to a championship.
• 13:45
  Speaker 4: But Milwaukee seems dead set on that. They go back
• 13:48
  Speaker 4: to Tampa Bay last night. Up two games to nothing,
• 13:52
  Speaker 4: and they beat the Living Daylights out of Tampa Bay
• 13:54
  Speaker 4: last night. That wasn't even a game. Ten to one.
• 13:58
  Speaker 4: So now Tampa would have to win four consecutive games or,
• 14:03
  Speaker 4: for the first time ever, Noam Layton's Milwaukee Brewers. We'll
• 14:08
  Speaker 4: be the World Series champs.
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I can't wait.
• 14:10
  Speaker 6: Very nice for Noam.
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: Great job.
• 14:11
  Speaker 4: Well, Noam's a diehard Brewer fan dating back to the
• 14:13
  Speaker 4: days of Ben Ogilvie.
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: That's right.
• 14:16
  Speaker 6: He used to slide down that beer thing when they'd
• 14:18
  Speaker 6: enter home.
• 14:18
  Speaker 4: That's right. He was the first guy to do that.
• 14:20
  Speaker 4: He was. He was the first guy.
• 14:22
  Speaker 6: That's not that bad.
• 14:23
  Speaker 4: You just do this.
• 14:24
  Speaker 6: Take a beer and go down.
• 14:27
  Speaker 4: But the big news today, the big story today is
• 14:30
  Speaker 4: Election Day in Israel. On this show, at least, I
• 14:33
  Speaker 4: know that I'll get made fun of. Israel first, Sid.
• 14:36
  Speaker 4: I don't care. You think it bothers me? You think
• 14:38
  Speaker 4: when Alex Jones tweets that or General Michael Flynn tweets
• 14:42
  Speaker 4: that or the thousands and thousands of anti-Semites, including the
• 14:48
  Speaker 4: mayor here in New York City, tweeted or say it
• 14:51
  Speaker 4: doesn't bother me. All it does is fuel me. I
• 14:54
  Speaker 4: love Israel. I love America first. I love Israel second.
• 14:59
  Speaker 4: And we've got a huge day coming up a week
• 15:02
  Speaker 4: from today. But there's just so much I can say
• 15:06
  Speaker 4: about Rogers and El-Sayed and Ilhan Omar and Hassan Piker.
• 15:13
  Speaker 4: Remember when everybody got so mad at me because I
• 15:17
  Speaker 4: called Mayor Mamdani a terrorist? Fox News has banned me.
• 15:22
  Speaker 4: They banned me because of that. That's right. I was
• 15:25
  Speaker 4: on the weekend show. I was on a couple of times,
• 15:28
  Speaker 4: getting ratings, looking great. People love me. Rachel Campo, Stuffy,
• 15:33
  Speaker 4: Charlie Hurt, and Griff Jenkins. And I said, Mamdani's a terrorist.
• 15:38
  Speaker 4: And Griff Jenkins tried to stop me. And I said,
• 15:41
  Speaker 4: don't you do that. You don't have to wear an
• 15:45
  Speaker 4: explosive vest. You don't have to carry a gun to
• 15:49
  Speaker 4: be a terrorist. He's a terrorist. Well, what did Hassan
• 15:53
  Speaker 4: Piker do yesterday? He referred to GOP, people like me,
• 15:58
  Speaker 4: as terrorists. Did you know that, Dom?
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: No, I didn't see that.
• 16:02
  Speaker 15: Oh, yeah.
• 16:03
  Speaker 4: All over Fox News this morning, Hasan Piker labels GOP terrorists.
• 16:09
  Speaker 4: So where are all the Republicans? Where's all the people
• 16:12
  Speaker 4: that are going to make Hassan Piker apologize today, right?
• 16:15
  Speaker 4: Where is Letitia James and Kathy Hochul and Bill de
• 16:19
  Speaker 4: Blasio and Richie Torres and Jessica Tisch and Julie Menon,
• 16:25
  Speaker 4: all the folks that asked for apologies from me on Twitter,
• 16:29
  Speaker 4: and I did it. Of course, I've taken that apology
• 16:32
  Speaker 4: back multiple times, starting in Israel, ironically, but I did it.
• 16:37
  Speaker 4: Will they ask Hasan Piker for an apology today, Noam?
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: No, it'll be crickets. You won't hear anything.
• 16:43
  Speaker 4: Crickets, right. I'm a terrorist, according to Hasan Piker. Although,
• 16:47
  Speaker 4: according to Hasan, who mentions me every week, every week
• 16:51
  Speaker 4: on his Twitch podcast, I am a well-dressed, very tan terrorist.
• 16:58
  Speaker 4: He's obsessed with me, Noam.
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: You like the fact that he says tan and well-dressed.
• 17:03
  Speaker 16: That's okay.
• 17:05
  Speaker 4: He may be a little gay. I don't know.
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: Maybe.
• 17:08
  Speaker 4: Is he married, Piker? I don't know. I don't know
• 17:10
  Speaker 4: what to say. That means he must be a little gay.
• 17:12
  Speaker 4: I mean, if you don't know, right, if you don't know,
• 17:15
  Speaker 4: then something's going on. But it is election day in Israel,
• 17:20
  Speaker 4: and I am enthusiastically supporting Bibi Netanyahu. I never, ever
• 17:25
  Speaker 4: strayed from that. This guy, Eisenkot, like Mark Levin said,
• 17:29
  Speaker 4: this guy is ready, willing, and able to put Arabs
• 17:33
  Speaker 4: in his.
• 17:35
  Speaker 4: I guess, what would you call it, department?
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: His coalition.
• 17:38
  Speaker 4: His coalition, thank you. The same Arabs that are angry
• 17:42
  Speaker 4: with Israel and America for trying to wipe out Iran's
• 17:46
  Speaker 4: nuclear capabilities, the same Arabs that defend the Houthis in Yemen,
• 17:52
  Speaker 4: the same Arabs that defend Hezbollah in Lebanon, these are
• 17:58
  Speaker 4: the Arabs that Eisenhower is going to have to be
• 18:01
  Speaker 4: nice to, maybe even employ, to get his coalition. Well,
• 18:07
  Speaker 4: who the hell wants that, Noam? Who wants that?
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: Well, they're all playing this game ahead of, as people
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: go to the polls, to show them that if you
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: vote for a party or one of the parties aligned
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: with them, that they'll be able to create a coalition
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: and he'll get into power. So they're all signaling ahead
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: of time of who they're willing to deal with. And
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: I guess in case of Gotti, Eisen Gotti's willing to
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: take in maybe some of these smaller Arab parties into
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: his coalition.
• 18:34
  Speaker 4: Well, that's not good. These smaller aero parties are not
• 18:37
  Speaker 4: our friends. Will you tell your brother that? I know
• 18:40
  Speaker 4: your brother has soured on BB, and he's not alone.
• 18:43
  Speaker 4: And I'm sure your brother's a very smart guy, but
• 18:45
  Speaker 4: in this case, he's being very stupid. Very stupid. You
• 18:49
  Speaker 4: don't want any of these other people running that country.
• 18:52
  Speaker 4: No way. Sorry. BB's gone out there and, yes, got
• 18:56
  Speaker 4: caught flat-footed October the 7th, no doubt about it. But
• 19:00
  Speaker 4: since wiped out terrorists who want to kill Americans and
• 19:04
  Speaker 4: Israelis all over the world, thousands of them, do I
• 19:08
  Speaker 4: need to remind people about the amazing Hezbollah-Pager deal that
• 19:13
  Speaker 4: Bibi signed off on, helped put together? Wiping out bad
• 19:16
  Speaker 4: people all over the world, even when other people get
• 19:19
  Speaker 4: angry with him. That's good for Israelis, okay? He's done
• 19:23
  Speaker 4: a very good job of cleaning up Gaza. Not perfect yet.
• 19:26
  Speaker 4: Hamas is still there, but certainly much better. And by
• 19:30
  Speaker 4: the way, something your brother should care about is the
• 19:33
  Speaker 4: economy in Israel is beyond strong, which is pretty amazing
• 19:38
  Speaker 4: considering they've been at war for the most part for
• 19:41
  Speaker 4: three years. And yet their economy, far and away the
• 19:46
  Speaker 4: best in the Middle East, is stronger than most people
• 19:49
  Speaker 4: could have. ever imagined. So I'm not exactly sure what
• 19:52
  Speaker 4: people are so upset about, nor do I care. I
• 19:55
  Speaker 4: guess in your brother's case, he wants Hasidim to serve
• 19:58
  Speaker 4: in the army, great. But on a serious note, you
• 20:02
  Speaker 4: can take Bibi to task all you want about October
• 20:05
  Speaker 4: the 7th, but I'm not sure what your complaint is since.
• 20:11
  Speaker 4: Is that fair?
• 20:11
  Speaker 16: Yeah.
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: I mean, you'd have to ask. I think some of it,
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: I would say for a lot of people, is they're
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: just ready for somebody new to be in that position, right?
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: At some point.
• 20:20
  Speaker 4: This is not the time.
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: No, but I'm just saying that the shelf life for
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: national politicians is usually relatively short.
• 20:26
  Speaker 4: I get it.
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: That hasn't been the case in Netanyahu.
• 20:28
  Speaker 16: Right.
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: And so people... They're just ready for a fresh face.
• 20:31
  Speaker 4: Not now. You're in the middle of a war. Come on.
• 20:34
  Speaker 4: I hear you.
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: Well, that's his argument. Now, whether Israelis will buy that argument.
• 20:38
  Speaker 4: That's a smart argument.
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: The Israelis may say, no, it's separate. The military is separate.
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: They'll do their job.
• 20:43
  Speaker 4: Well, they're being stupid.
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: Of course they are. Maybe they are. Maybe they're not.
• 20:45
  Speaker 4: No, they are. They're being stupid. This is not the
• 20:48
  Speaker 4: time to try your fresh new toy. I'm not saying
• 20:52
  Speaker 4: it shouldn't happen at some point.
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: Well, but the person they'd be deciding on if they're
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: choosing his, you know, the opposing is a guy who
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: was the head of the military, his chief of staff.
• 21:00
  Speaker 4: Oh, you mean the guy that blames Bibi for October
• 21:03
  Speaker 4: the 7th when he worked side by side with Bibi
• 21:05
  Speaker 4: for a long time, that backstabber? Why do you, I mean,
• 21:08
  Speaker 4: these people, him, Naftali Bennett, they've taken every opportunity to
• 21:13
  Speaker 4: stab a guy that they once worked with or worked
• 21:16
  Speaker 4: for or liked in the back time and time again.
• 21:18
  Speaker 4: I don't like those types of people, Noam.
• 21:21
  Speaker 8: Sorry.
• 21:22
  Speaker 4: All they care about is gaining politically. That's Eisencutt. Sorry.
• 21:28
  Speaker 4: But we're going to see. We will not know until
• 21:31
  Speaker 4: probably 10 p.m. tonight. That's Israel time.
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: But we don't even know who's going to be prime
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: minister for months.
• 21:39
  Speaker 4: No, no. They say about two days. We're going to
• 21:42
  Speaker 4: talk to Alex Trayman coming up live from Jerusalem in
• 21:45
  Speaker 4: about 30 minutes. And he says in a couple of
• 21:48
  Speaker 4: days you'll know who the prime minister is going to be.
• 21:50
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: If this thing's really close, it could take a long time.
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: Then you have to form a coalition.
• 21:55
  Speaker 4: He's taking 48 hours.
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: I'd be shocked.
• 21:57
  Speaker 4: Well, we'll talk to him. He said the best case scenario,
• 22:01
  Speaker 4: if it's not that close, we can find out by
• 22:03
  Speaker 4: 10 p.m. Israel time tonight, which is 3 p.m. America time,
• 22:09
  Speaker 4: that Bibi's still in charge or not. But he said,
• 22:12
  Speaker 4: if what you're talking about, Noam, happens, it could take
• 22:14
  Speaker 4: up to 48 hours. He's not talking weeks or months.
• 22:18
  Speaker 4: So we're going to find out, okay? Any news on it?
• 22:21
  Speaker 4: You know, there were arrests made last night. Did you
• 22:24
  Speaker 4: hear about this?
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: Which arrests are we talking about?
• 22:26
  Speaker 4: They're trying to fix the election. Phil, you didn't hear
• 22:30
  Speaker 4: about this, did you?
• 22:31
  Speaker 3: No.
• 22:31
  Speaker 4: I got a text early this morning from my guy, Katsimatidis,
• 22:35
  Speaker 4: who is watching this very, very closely. So here's what
• 22:39
  Speaker 4: it comes out. There was a serious incident on Election Day.
• 22:43
  Speaker 4: Three suspects were arrested with envelopes of cash and Mansour
• 22:49
  Speaker 4: Abbas ballot papers. The police raided a building in the
• 22:54
  Speaker 4: Negev and seized envelopes containing thousands of shekels alongside ballot papers.
• 23:01
  Speaker 4: This is from Bibi. I demand that the law enforcement
• 23:04
  Speaker 4: system investigate... the incident, right-wing voters, dear Likud voters, in
• 23:11
  Speaker 4: the face of attempts to undermine the integrity of the elections,
• 23:16
  Speaker 4: we must go out and vote en masse, vote Likud,
• 23:20
  Speaker 4: for the sake of our country.
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: No, but who are they saying got the cash? I'm confused.
• 23:25
  Speaker 4: I'm not sure either, but there were three arrests made
• 23:28
  Speaker 4: last night, and Trayman has all the details, and he's
• 23:31
  Speaker 4: coming up in 20-something minutes. Oh, okay. The thought is...
• 23:35
  Speaker 4: What I'm getting from this is that whoever got the
• 23:37
  Speaker 4: cash is trying to make sure that Bibi doesn't win.
• 23:42
  Speaker 4: Does that make sense now?
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so you're suggesting that they're paying people on the
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: other side.
• 23:46
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 23:47
  Speaker 4: Well, we already know they paid people on the other
• 23:49
  Speaker 4: side to fly back to Israel and vote against Bibi.
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, there's the wings. I forget what it's called.
• 23:53
  Speaker 4: Yeah, they're paying people. They paid a bunch of people.
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: They paid for the flights.
• 23:58
  Speaker 4: For their flights to go back to Israel to vote
• 24:00
  Speaker 4: against Bibi today. So why would you be surprised if
• 24:03
  Speaker 4: they're paying people to fix the election in even more
• 24:07
  Speaker 4: ways than one?
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: There's nothing illegal about paying for someone's flight to go
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: back and vote.
• 24:10
  Speaker 4: Oh, come on. When they know specifically what they're voting for?
• 24:14
  Speaker 4: It's not illegal, but is it right?
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: You can't absentee ballot. You have to be in the
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: country to vote.
• 24:21
  Speaker 4: Right, that's true.
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: So we don't know what the numbers are, but they
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: say 20, 50. I don't know. I've seen crazy numbers
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: of Israelis that have. flown back, and the thought is
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: the vast majority of those people who are flying back
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: are voting against Bibi.
• 24:36
  Speaker 4: Anything else from Israel you've got for this morning?
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: It's all anecdotal. I have a friend who was waiting
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: in line in Tel Aviv this morning to vote, and
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: he said that he ran into a couple people who
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: had flown in, one from Los Angeles, one from New York,
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: to vote. So the assumption is, again, that they're probably
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: not going to vote. They're going to vote for a
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: party that's not Likud.
• 24:54
  Speaker 4: Terrible, no?
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: Well, we'll see.
• 24:58
  Speaker 4: No good.
• 24:59
  Speaker 16: No?
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't live there. You know, I
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: don't have a final say. Let them have the final say.
• 25:04
  Speaker 4: Let them have the final say.
• 25:05
  Speaker 16: Yeah.
• 25:05
  Speaker 4: All right. What else is going on here locally in
• 25:07
  Speaker 4: New York? Move away from Israel.
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: Well, you got, you know, last night, not locally, but
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: you had the president just like he's tireless. It's really
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: amazing to watch him night after night at these rallies.
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: This latest one, he was in Mississippi last night where
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: the race has just gotten a little too close for Senate.
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: You have a Republican Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith. who has watched
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: as her poll numbers, which were pretty good, have sort
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: of whittled away. And so the president was in Mississippi
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: last night trying to push her across the finish line.
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: And I think a little bit later today, I think
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: it's Ohio is his next state, but he's going to
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: continue on this trip right up until Election Day. You
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: have J.D.
• 25:48
  Speaker 4: Vance.
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: He was in Montana yesterday where a race is a
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: little too close for comfort, trying to help a Republican
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: in a congressional race there. And then you had the
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: Justice Department saying that they're working to ensure that the
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: midterm elections are going to be carried off without a hitch,
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: as they were raising the red flag about some ballots
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: that were cast so far in Washington state when they
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: say that these votes were cast by illegal immigrants. So
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: that's being investigated this morning.
• 26:15
  Speaker 4: The president will be in Ohio tomorrow. That's right. He'll
• 26:18
  Speaker 4: be there for Vivek Ramaswamy. I believe he'll be. Well,
• 26:22
  Speaker 4: I forgot where he's going to be Sunday, Michigan, maybe.
• 26:26
  Speaker 4: You know, the Rodgers-El Sayed thing is still, well, it's
• 26:28
  Speaker 4: too much of that. I don't know. It's every second
• 26:31
  Speaker 4: of every day, you know. El Sayed, El Sayed, Hasan Piker,
• 26:34
  Speaker 4: Elon Omar. El Sayed, Hasan Piker, Elon Omar. El Sayed,
• 26:40
  Speaker 4: Hasan Piker, Elon Omar. My God, no.
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: Well, just seven more days. The next Tuesday it's over.
• 26:45
  Speaker 4: Thank God. One way or the other, thank God it's
• 26:48
  Speaker 4: going to be over, but I don't know. How are
• 26:50
  Speaker 4: you feeling today about what side's going to win?
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: Well, you know, I always go to look at, like,
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: Cal Shee in places like that to see what the
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: odds are because they're usually pretty good. And that they
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: have– they say the congressional race is essentially over, that
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: Democrats are going to win Congress. But the Senate's the
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: one that nobody's really sure about, that, you know, Republicans
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: could still maintain control. But it's not clear. I mean,
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: there's some races, like places where it shouldn't be close,
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: like Texas, where Republicans– you know, the last time a
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: Republican was a senator– In Texas, they had a Republican senator,
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: I should say. You have to go back to Lloyd Benson.
• 27:27
  Speaker 4: Oh, the great Lloyd Benson. He was a vice presidential
• 27:30
  Speaker 4: candidate at one point. He was.
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: So that was the 1980s. That was the last time
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: they had a Republican senator in Texas.
• 27:35
  Speaker 4: Was he with Walter Mondale? Is that right? I think
• 27:39
  Speaker 4: it was Mondale and Benson. I could be wrong.
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: That sounds right.
• 27:43
  Speaker 4: Dukakis? Michael Dukakis, maybe? Well, I don't remember. It doesn't matter.
• 27:47
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 27:48
  Speaker 4: Lloyd Benson. He was like 130 years old. Literally. Even then.
• 27:53
  Speaker 4: Even then. He was like the oldest candidate I could
• 27:56
  Speaker 4: ever remember. Where was he from again? What state?
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: Texas.
• 27:59
  Speaker 4: Texas. That's right.
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: It was Ann Richards was the governor at the time.
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: You have to go back so many years. Remember her?
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: That just feels like forever ago.
• 28:08
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: But you know what? Democrats have been disappointed so many
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: times in Texas before. We've had a lot of Democrats
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: that looked like they were running close in the case
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: against Ted Cruz and lost by 11 points. So, you know,
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: that could happen this time around. The polls could have
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: it absolutely wrong.
• 28:24
  Speaker 4: You want to hear from El-Sayed?
• 28:26
  Speaker 6: He was with the caucus.
• 28:27
  Speaker 4: Oh, there was the caucus. I said that. Okay. You
• 28:29
  Speaker 4: want to hear from El-Sayed at that Detroit rally a
• 28:32
  Speaker 4: couple of days ago? I guess. Standing there with Black Jesus.
• 28:35
  Speaker 4: Who's Black Jesus known?
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: That would be Barack Obama.
• 28:38
  Speaker 4: That's correct. Black Jesus. And he says he loves America,
• 28:42
  Speaker 4: Abdul El-Sayed. Muhammad! Muhammad Abdul El-Sayed! Say it, Noam! Say it! Muhammad!
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: Muhammad.
• 28:51
  Speaker 4: Thank you. This is cut number 11, where Muhammad says
• 28:55
  Speaker 4: he loves America.
• 28:56
  Speaker 3: So don't get it twisted.
• 29:00
  Speaker 4: I love America.
• 29:01
  Speaker 10: I'm so grateful I get to raise my two daughters.
• 29:04
  Speaker 8: Here in America.
• 29:05
  Speaker 14: I just love America enough to call on her to
• 29:08
  Speaker 14: be America for all of her kids.
• 29:09
  Speaker 4: Isn't this Obama? That's not Abdul El-Sayed. That's Obama, right?
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 29:15
  Speaker 4: Shut up. Shut this guy up. God, he's such a douchebag.
• 29:18
  Speaker 4: Is there a bigger asshole than Barack Obama? I mean, ever.
• 29:22
  Speaker 4: I mean, ever, no.
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: Well, ever, no. There's probably somebody who's bigger than Barack Obama.
• 29:26
  Speaker 4: You think so?
• 29:26
  Speaker 16: Yeah.
• 29:26
  Speaker 4: I don't know, man. He really is a douche with
• 29:29
  Speaker 4: a capital D. No, that was Obama. All right, well,
• 29:33
  Speaker 4: I can't even tell the difference anymore.
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: Justin's disagreeing with you.
• 29:38
  Speaker 4: Okay. So they both have two daughters now. I guess.
• 29:40
  Speaker 4: Here is some more Abdul-Aziz. Muhammad, say it no.
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: Muhammad.
• 29:46
  Speaker 4: Take it easy. Here is our cut number 12. Trump
• 29:51
  Speaker 4: got us into a war we've got no business fighting.
• 29:53
  Speaker 4: President Obama, he contained the nuclear threat without war. Oh,
• 29:56
  Speaker 4: sure he did.
• 29:57
  Speaker 17: Trump tariffs costing auto workers their livelihoods.
• 30:00
  Speaker 14: President Obama, he made sure that they didn't lose their
• 30:03
  Speaker 14: jobs in the worst.
• 30:04
  Speaker 4: Financial crisis in a century.
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: Trump is the poster child for how Citizens United destroyed
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: our politics.
• 30:12
  Speaker 4: I just can't do it. I mean, he's so stupid.
• 30:14
  Speaker 4: I mean, he's so stupid, so uninformed and blind. There's lying.
• 30:21
  Speaker 4: The Democrats, they do lie a lot. Like this Kate Conley.
• 30:25
  Speaker 4: She's running against my friend Mike Lawler. I've got to
• 30:27
  Speaker 4: talk to you guys about something. Probably off the air,
• 30:30
  Speaker 4: but I'm going to put it on the air anyway.
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: What's that?
• 30:32
  Speaker 4: Give me a second. So there's Kate Conley in our commercials.
• 30:36
  Speaker 4: She says, Mike Lawler votes with President Trump 100% of
• 30:41
  Speaker 4: the time. That's a lie. You know that, right? That's
• 30:44
  Speaker 4: a lie.
• 30:45
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 30:45
  Speaker 4: Okay. Kathy Hochul. says that Bruce Blankman said President Trump
• 30:51
  Speaker 4: is the greatest ever. No, he didn't. He said Dwight
• 30:54
  Speaker 4: Eisenhower was the best ever. And he also votes with
• 30:57
  Speaker 4: President Trump 100% of the time. He doesn't even vote,
• 31:01
  Speaker 4: you dumb bastard. What do you mean votes? He is
• 31:04
  Speaker 4: on record that he disagrees with Trump, a major one.
• 31:08
  Speaker 4: He's pro-choice. Trump is pro-life. He wants to make sure
• 31:12
  Speaker 4: that migrants, immigrants that are here illegally, but, but, or
• 31:18
  Speaker 4: gainfully employed, assets to their community, have stayed out of
• 31:21
  Speaker 4: trouble for the better part of seven to ten years,
• 31:24
  Speaker 4: should be able to stay. Trump doesn't feel that way.
• 31:27
  Speaker 4: So they just lie. They just lie. And it's really disheartening.
• 31:34
  Speaker 4: But here's my issue. Are you guys ready? So a
• 31:38
  Speaker 4: week from tonight, Tuesday night, I'll be at one of
• 31:42
  Speaker 4: two places. So you guys know that Blakeman and I
• 31:45
  Speaker 4: are like brothers. I mean, I know everybody thinks they're
• 31:47
  Speaker 4: best friends with Bruce Blakeman. No, you're not. Trust me, okay?
• 31:50
  Speaker 4: He came to me almost first. He's on this show
• 31:54
  Speaker 4: every week. We talk just about every day. He's employed
• 31:57
  Speaker 4: my son, Gabriel, since the summer. He loves my wife
• 32:01
  Speaker 4: and daughter. We're very, very, very close. His whole team
• 32:04
  Speaker 4: loves me. Fenton McCormack, Joe Cairo, Peter King, D'Esposito, Lelota,
• 32:11
  Speaker 4: everybody out there. The new guys, LaPetri, Janine Driscoll. They
• 32:16
  Speaker 4: all love me, okay? Blakeman and I are really close,
• 32:20
  Speaker 4: really close. And he is the first to admit that
• 32:24
  Speaker 4: he probably, if not definitely, would not have beaten Laura
• 32:28
  Speaker 4: Curran the first time he became Nassau County Executive without me.
• 32:33
  Speaker 4: You know, he said that, no? He did.
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I remember.
• 32:35
  Speaker 4: So I'm very, I love the guy. I love the guy.
• 32:38
  Speaker 4: You know, he's Jewish. Not that that matters necessarily, because
• 32:41
  Speaker 4: Mike Lawler's not. But he's out there wearing a yarmulke
• 32:44
  Speaker 4: with me at Columbia University when the mayor, Eric Adams,
• 32:48
  Speaker 4: wouldn't show up. He's just, he's a brave, courageous, decent guy.
• 32:53
  Speaker 4: And he's been a great Nassau County executive. Doesn't raise taxes.
• 32:59
  Speaker 4: Hires cops. Has the safest county in America. And Nassau
• 33:04
  Speaker 4: County is bigger than like five states. Okay? So this
• 33:08
  Speaker 4: guy is basically running a state agency. and doing a
• 33:11
  Speaker 4: tremendous job. He's won twice. So we know I love Bruce.
• 33:15
  Speaker 4: But then I get lawler. So way back when, when
• 33:19
  Speaker 4: Anthony D'Esposito invited me to that State of the Union,
• 33:23
  Speaker 4: where I was physically removed and nearly arrested, Joe Biden's
• 33:27
  Speaker 4: last State of the Union, you guys remember it, says who? Well,
• 33:31
  Speaker 4: the night before the actual address, Danielle and I arrived
• 33:36
  Speaker 4: in D.C. We had this fun dinner at the Capitol Grill.
• 33:39
  Speaker 4: Everybody goes there. And it was me and Nicole Maliotakis
• 33:43
  Speaker 4: and Lolota was there and D'Esposito, all Congress folks. Nancy
• 33:48
  Speaker 4: Mace even had dinner with us that night. It was
• 33:51
  Speaker 4: a whole ton of us. And you walked into the
• 33:53
  Speaker 4: place and Lauren Bulbert was there. And I remember Ted Cruz,
• 33:58
  Speaker 4: Teddy Politics was there. It was a great time. And
• 34:01
  Speaker 4: after dinner, D'Esposito and Lolota took me and Danielle to
• 34:05
  Speaker 4: the Capitol. It was late, like 11 o'clock at night,
• 34:09
  Speaker 4: and gave us lunch. the late-night tour of the Capitol building.
• 34:13
  Speaker 4: And Lawler was amazing, though. He knew every statue, every
• 34:20
  Speaker 4: floor tile, when it was there, what president stepped on it.
• 34:24
  Speaker 4: The guy was just amazing. And we became really good
• 34:28
  Speaker 4: friends that trip, really good friends. I have since spoken
• 34:32
  Speaker 4: to for Lawler in Rockland County many times. Even the
• 34:37
  Speaker 4: county supervisor, Ed Day, a couple of years ago, made
• 34:40
  Speaker 4: a Sid Rosenberg Day in Rockland County. Last time President
• 34:44
  Speaker 4: Trump was there and Jackson Dart got into trouble, Mike
• 34:47
  Speaker 4: Lawler made sure I was there in the front row.
• 34:49
  Speaker 4: His holiday parties, I'm always invited. Their annual dinners, thanks
• 34:54
  Speaker 4: to him and Lauren, I'm always the emcee, or I
• 34:57
  Speaker 4: speak at the very least, you know. So, Both of
• 35:00
  Speaker 4: these guys are dear, dear friends, and they're both very
• 35:02
  Speaker 4: good to me. And both have expressed interest in having
• 35:08
  Speaker 4: me at their election headquarters on Tuesday night. You following this, Lewis?
• 35:14
  Speaker 4: I know.
• 35:15
  Speaker 6: So far, yeah.
• 35:16
  Speaker 4: So Blakeman's is going to be at, I forgot the
• 35:19
  Speaker 4: name of the place. It's in, oh, come on. My wife, Danielle,
• 35:24
  Speaker 4: used to work with Anthony Capitola, great attorney out there
• 35:27
  Speaker 4: in Garden City. Actually, Williston. And he owned Eisenhower Park.
• 35:33
  Speaker 4: Not the park. He owned the restaurant there. Forgot the
• 35:36
  Speaker 4: name of it now. You know the name of that restaurant, guys,
• 35:40
  Speaker 4: in Eisenhower Park?
• 35:42
  Speaker 6: The Eisenhower Park, Long Island.
• 35:44
  Speaker 4: Yes. You wouldn't know that, would you? No.
• 35:46
  Speaker 6: I know where Eisenhower Park is.
• 35:48
  Speaker 4: The name of the place is.
• 35:52
  Speaker 5: Lannan.
• 35:53
  Speaker 4: Lannan in Eisenhower Park. That's where Blakeman is having his
• 35:57
  Speaker 4: big party.
• 35:58
  Speaker 8: Now.
• 35:58
  Speaker 4: Here's the deal with Blakeman. Joe Cairo is the emcee
• 36:02
  Speaker 4: that night. He's funny and brilliant. I love him. Joe Cairo,
• 36:06
  Speaker 4: who is responsible for all these Long Island candidates' political careers,
• 36:11
  Speaker 4: he's the emcee. Okay? What Chris Boyle said to me,
• 36:14
  Speaker 4: and I love Chris too, was you can speak, warm
• 36:18
  Speaker 4: up the crowd. Get them all pumped up.
• 36:20
  Speaker 8: You're Sid.
• 36:20
  Speaker 4: Come on. Even today, I look amazing. Don't I know
• 36:23
  Speaker 4: him with this shirt? Come on, I look buff.
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: You know, I was thinking, incredible. That's what I was thinking.
• 36:27
  Speaker 16: Right?
• 36:27
  Speaker 4: I mean, I'm buff like you. You got the same
• 36:29
  Speaker 4: type of deal on.
• 36:30
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 36:31
  Speaker 4: Sweater, you got big arms.
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: You know, my sweater's just not as tight as yours.
• 36:35
  Speaker 4: Right. Yeah. And you're actually a little bigger than I am,
• 36:37
  Speaker 4: to be honest. I got more cut. I have more cut,
• 36:40
  Speaker 4: but you have more mess. We both look very sexy today,
• 36:43
  Speaker 4: a couple of old bald Jews.
• 36:44
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 36:44
  Speaker 6: You're okay, both of you?
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: You might want to leave.
• 36:51
  Speaker 4: It's no problem.
• 36:51
  Speaker 6: I can get you guys a couple of drinks.
• 36:54
  Speaker 4: So Boyle says, you know, you can't emcee it because
• 36:59
  Speaker 4: Cairo is doing that, but warm up the crowd, get
• 37:01
  Speaker 4: them all pumped up, which is very, very nice. Now
• 37:05
  Speaker 4: Lawler in Rockland County, his girl Lauren, who's responsible for
• 37:10
  Speaker 4: all of Lawler's parties, she reached out to me first.
• 37:14
  Speaker 4: And has reached out to me three times since. That's
• 37:17
  Speaker 4: how badly they want me. And they want me to
• 37:20
  Speaker 4: host the whole thing. Not just speak. Not just warm
• 37:23
  Speaker 4: up the crowd. But host it. So I'm at a
• 37:26
  Speaker 4: crossroads here. In a difficult spot. I love both guys.
• 37:30
  Speaker 8: A lot.
• 37:32
  Speaker 4: A lot. I know that we need Congress people to win.
• 37:36
  Speaker 4: If we're going to save the Congress. Even though Noam
• 37:38
  Speaker 4: thinks it's a fait accompli. We're going to lose that.
• 37:42
  Speaker 4: But I want Bruce Blakeman to win so badly, I
• 37:44
  Speaker 4: believe the state will be lost if Blakeman loses to
• 37:47
  Speaker 4: this wretched witch. So I don't know. I'm in a very,
• 37:51
  Speaker 4: very tough spot. Do I go to Long Island and
• 37:54
  Speaker 4: warm up the crowd for Cairo, or do I go
• 37:56
  Speaker 4: to Rockland and host the event for Lawler?
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: Now, could you do both?
• 38:02
  Speaker 15: No.
• 38:02
  Speaker 4: Very good question. Excellent question. I thought about doing that.
• 38:06
  Speaker 6: That's kind of. Far, those two points.
• 38:08
  Speaker 4: Way too far. That's the issue. Like, if one was
• 38:11
  Speaker 4: in Brooklyn and one was in Queens, we're very good, Lewis.
• 38:16
  Speaker 4: We can figure it out. This is Eisenhower Park to, like,
• 38:20
  Speaker 4: New City. That ain't going to happen.
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: No, that's far.
• 38:23
  Speaker 4: And it's also a weeknight. I've got to go to
• 38:25
  Speaker 4: work the next morning on Wednesday morning.
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: Well, I think you want to go where, you know,
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: let me help you work this out. I think you
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: want to go where the star power is going to be.
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: And that would be, for sure, at Bruce Blakeman's headquarters
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: because he's the statewide campaign. So anybody who wants to
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: be seen or heard from is going to show up there,
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: where Lawler, his, he'll be the most famous guy there.
• 38:45
  Speaker 4: No, I'll be the most famous guy there.
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: Well, if you go, you'll be the most famous guy there.
• 38:48
  Speaker 4: How's it going with you?
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: With your tight sweater.
• 38:50
  Speaker 9: Right.
• 38:50
  Speaker 4: I may even wear a tight sweater that night. But
• 38:52
  Speaker 4: he's got Ed Day out there. What if?
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: Ed Day's a great guy, but Lawler's more well-known.
• 38:58
  Speaker 4: Oh, no, Lawler's a big deal.
• 38:59
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 38:59
  Speaker 4: What if he has, like, Joe Hernandez out there? Well,
• 39:03
  Speaker 4: he may go to Long Island, too. I don't know.
• 39:05
  Speaker 4: He'll have his own headquarters, I guess, right? Joe Hernandez
• 39:09
  Speaker 4: and Saritha.
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: No, I bet Saritha shows up at Bruce Blakeman's headquarters.
• 39:14
  Speaker 4: You think so?
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, because she's running for a statewide office, too.
• 39:17
  Speaker 4: She's not going to have her own deal, though?
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: She might, but a lot of times they just, you know,
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: all get together.
• 39:21
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's lame. She's running for attorney general. She doesn't
• 39:24
  Speaker 4: have her own party. She'll be on this show tomorrow,
• 39:26
  Speaker 4: just so you know. I know Lou loves this. So
• 39:28
  Speaker 4: do I. She was on Fox News this morning.
• 39:30
  Speaker 15: I saw.
• 39:30
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 39:31
  Speaker 4: All right. So, Noam, you're going with, I should go
• 39:33
  Speaker 4: to Long Island. Yeah, no brainer. No brainer.
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: I mean, if you want to be seen and heard
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: by big names in Republican circles.
• 39:39
  Speaker 4: Seen and heard by big names. I've been called up
• 39:41
  Speaker 4: stage at the White House.
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: Here's the thing. If you want to be seen and
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: heard by big names, you go to Blakeman. If you
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: want to be the star, by far the star of
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: the show. You go to Lawler's headquarters.
• 39:53
  Speaker 4: You just sold me on Lawler. Yeah, okay. I mean,
• 39:56
  Speaker 4: I've been seen and heard in much more famous places
• 39:59
  Speaker 4: than the Lannan.
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: All right, so go to Michael Longmore, then.
• 40:02
  Speaker 4: Well, I didn't say that. Let me go to Lewis.
• 40:05
  Speaker 6: Hey, you had fun, Noam, with that one?
• 40:08
  Speaker 4: Noam says I should go to Long Island because there'll
• 40:10
  Speaker 4: be more star power. He thinks, I guess, that Lawler's
• 40:13
  Speaker 4: party's going to be lame.
• 40:15
  Speaker 6: But I thought you just said he... Pushed you towards
• 40:17
  Speaker 6: Long Island.
• 40:18
  Speaker 4: Well, he did say that I'd be a bigger star
• 40:21
  Speaker 4: in Rockland because I'd be the only star, really, in
• 40:24
  Speaker 4: Long Island. Again, I'm still the biggest star. I don't
• 40:27
  Speaker 4: know what the hell you're talking about. I mean, but
• 40:29
  Speaker 4: I understand there's a lot of famous people there.
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: And they have an emcee already, so you only get
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: to speak, you know, for a period of time.
• 40:35
  Speaker 8: Right.
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: And you'll have to sit back down.
• 40:36
  Speaker 4: Right, and then watch, like, LaPetrie speak. Yeah. Or Driscoll or...
• 40:41
  Speaker 4: So what do you think, Lou?
• 40:43
  Speaker 6: I've got to take an aspirin or something.
• 40:45
  Speaker 4: Take an aspirin. He's not even kidding. He's literally popping
• 40:47
  Speaker 4: an aspirin right now.
• 40:48
  Speaker 6: Yeah, because my head is starting to hurt.
• 40:50
  Speaker 4: How do you think I feel? Well, how do you
• 40:52
  Speaker 4: think I feel?
• 40:52
  Speaker 6: You decide which party you should go to.
• 40:54
  Speaker 4: Joe Nolan checks in.
• 40:57
  Speaker 6: Yeah, let's see what Joe said.
• 40:58
  Speaker 4: Rockland. That's all he said.
• 41:00
  Speaker 13: One word.
• 41:01
  Speaker 4: Thank you, Joe. Made it nice and easy. Rockland.
• 41:03
  Speaker 6: It's like he's announcing the game. It's perfect. First down, Rockland.
• 41:07
  Speaker 4: Rockland.
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: He's probably right.
• 41:09
  Speaker 6: You know, your guy is a lawler.
• 41:14
  Speaker 4: So you think I should do Rockland? What do you mean?
• 41:16
  Speaker 4: My guy's not Bruce Blakeman?
• 41:19
  Speaker 14: I mean, I've run out of quotes now.
• 41:23
  Speaker 4: Ask Imus. What does Don think? I have to put
• 41:28
  Speaker 4: it on the website and all.
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: That you're going to be there.
• 41:33
  Speaker 4: No, we'll have a poll.
• 41:34
  Speaker 6: No, a poll.
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: Oh, I got you. Okay, you want me to put
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: a poll?
• 41:36
  Speaker 4: Do you know what an informal poll is? It's a
• 41:38
  Speaker 4: dressed-down guy from Warsaw. That's such a brilliant joke. I've
• 41:41
  Speaker 4: got to say I love that guy. We should put
• 41:44
  Speaker 4: a poll up on the website. Does Sid go to
• 41:47
  Speaker 4: Long Island where he's just another speaker? I mean, I'm Sid,
• 41:50
  Speaker 4: so it's a big deal, but I'm just another speaker.
• 41:54
  Speaker 4: Or do I go to Rockland and I run the bitch?
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it's obvious what you want to do.
• 41:59
  Speaker 4: It is?
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, just go to Lawler. You'll be happier at the
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: end of the night.
• 42:03
  Speaker 4: But that's not obvious. Bruce is my guy. If Bruce wins,
• 42:08
  Speaker 4: it's because of me. Is that true, Lou?
• 42:11
  Speaker 6: Well, when you make the case, are you having a
• 42:15
  Speaker 6: good time with this?
• 42:16
  Speaker 14: Because it's slowly dawning on me that you don't even
• 42:19
  Speaker 14: care what the answers are. You just want to hear
• 42:22
  Speaker 14: us bandy about where you should be.
• 42:25
  Speaker 4: But is that crazy to say that a Bruce wins?
• 42:28
  Speaker 4: Is that crazy?
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: Maybe a little, yeah.
• 42:31
  Speaker 14: No, I'll play the game. No, it's not crazy at all.
• 42:34
  Speaker 14: It's just perfectly rational.
• 42:37
  Speaker 4: My buddy Bobby Hortman checks in.
• 42:39
  Speaker 1: What does he say?
• 42:39
  Speaker 4: From a mainstream house out there in Fafana Vinkel out
• 42:42
  Speaker 4: there by the Guy's Shahantans. He says, I got to
• 42:46
  Speaker 4: do Blakeman. He can save New York. Kevin Moroney checks
• 42:51
  Speaker 4: in and says, just stay in Rockaway and don't worry
• 42:53
  Speaker 4: about it. Which is not a terrible idea, but I
• 42:55
  Speaker 4: can't do that. So I don't know. What if somebody
• 42:58
  Speaker 4: else calls me now today? What if... I don't know.
• 43:01
  Speaker 4: Give me somebody else who's running for a big.
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: Abdul El-Sayed. What if he invites you?
• 43:06
  Speaker 4: Well, he has to pay for my flight to Detroit. No,
• 43:10
  Speaker 4: somebody in New York. Who else would be a.
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: Well, that's the biggest race in New York. It doesn't
• 43:14
  Speaker 1: get any bigger.
• 43:15
  Speaker 4: Abdul El-Sayed?
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: No, Blakeman.
• 43:17
  Speaker 4: Blakeman?
• 43:17
  Speaker 8: No.
• 43:18
  Speaker 4: Oh, you mean Lawler Conley is not a big race?
• 43:20
  Speaker 4: It's for Congress.
• 43:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but Blakeman's governor. That's huge.
• 43:23
  Speaker 4: So what are you telling me?
• 43:24
  Speaker 1: Well, that's the bigger race.
• 43:26
  Speaker 4: So then what should I do?
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: Well, again, If you want to be Mr. Celebrity Star
• 43:32
  Speaker 1: Power and run the show, you go to Lawler. If
• 43:35
  Speaker 1: you want to be a guy who just gets up
• 43:37
  Speaker 1: and speaks, then you go to Blakeman.
• 43:39
  Speaker 4: What if one of them pays me?
• 43:41
  Speaker 1: Well, then it is obvious what the answer is.
• 43:47
  Speaker 6: It's obvious to a few of us.
• 43:52
  Speaker 4: All right, we'll have to figure this out. We are
• 43:54
  Speaker 4: running out of days. We are one week away, so...
• 43:57
  Speaker 4: What else is going on? Quickly, come on.
• 43:59
  Speaker 8: Jesus.
• 43:59
  Speaker 14: How do you describe this day of work for your friends?
• 44:05
  Speaker 14: I helped Sid, you know, work out his agenda for.
• 44:08
  Speaker 6: The next week or two.
• 44:08
  Speaker 4: It's a big deal. I don't know what to do.
• 44:10
  Speaker 4: I really don't. These are two marvelous men. I love
• 44:12
  Speaker 4: them both. They're both huge elections. Huge.
• 44:15
  Speaker 6: It's like the Giants having two quarterbacks.
• 44:17
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 44:18
  Speaker 16: Bang.
• 44:19
  Speaker 4: It's Jackson, Dort, and J.J. McCarthy.
• 44:21
  Speaker 6: That's right. Now let's figure out who's who.
• 44:23
  Speaker 4: It's like me having two kids. Like, what if Ava
• 44:25
  Speaker 4: and Gabe had graduation on the same day?
• 44:27
  Speaker 8: What do I do?
• 44:28
  Speaker 6: Oh, forget it.
• 44:29
  Speaker 8: No.
• 44:29
  Speaker 4: Now I'm comparing Lawler and Blakeman to my two kids.
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, what would you do? That would not be good.
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: They were both on the same day.
• 44:36
  Speaker 4: My kids?
• 44:36
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 44:36
  Speaker 4: I'd have to go to both. I'd have to figure
• 44:38
  Speaker 4: that out. I don't know. Even if I walked in late,
• 44:40
  Speaker 4: I'm Sid. Take it easy. Oh, what else? I don't know. Quickly.
• 44:44
  Speaker 6: I'm glad that was solved.
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: Well, speaking of Bruce Blakeman, he had a back and
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: forth with Governor Hochul as they were on different places
• 44:52
  Speaker 1: on the campaign trail, and they were talking about This
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: whole fact that Mayor Mamdani is going to spend a
• 44:57
  Speaker 1: lot of time with Hochul over these last seven days
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: of the campaign trying to help her win.
• 45:04
  Speaker 18: We've got somebody who's the mayor of the city of
• 45:06
  Speaker 18: New York that needs someone to keep him in check
• 45:09
  Speaker 18: in the governor's office. Kathy Hochul won't do that.
• 45:11
  Speaker 6: I am campaigning with him.
• 45:13
  Speaker 18: He's more popular than Bruce Blakeman across the damn state
• 45:16
  Speaker 18: of New York. He was with Kathy Hochul in Brooklyn
• 45:18
  Speaker 18: for only 15 minutes. Even he couldn't stand to be
• 45:20
  Speaker 18: with her for more than 15 minutes.
• 45:21
  Speaker 4: Okay. Good job in there.
• 45:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he won that battle.
• 45:25
  Speaker 4: By the way. Lisa Glassberg checks in.
• 45:27
  Speaker 1: What does she say?
• 45:28
  Speaker 4: We love Lisa. She says, go to Blakeman. There'll be
• 45:31
  Speaker 4: more press at Bruce Blakeman's event.
• 45:34
  Speaker 1: Oh, that's true.
• 45:35
  Speaker 4: Of course, Fenton McCormack, one of my favorite people in
• 45:38
  Speaker 4: New York, and I mean that sincerely.
• 45:39
  Speaker 6: This is getting tougher.
• 45:40
  Speaker 4: He says, Blakeman, all the way. Imagine missing the historic win. Lord,
• 45:44
  Speaker 4: you're stuck out there in Rockland all night. Blakeman will
• 45:48
  Speaker 4: get you home by 11. That's the great Fenton McCormack.
• 45:52
  Speaker 4: Bobby Hartman says, Blakeman, that's it. You don't want Bruce
• 45:56
  Speaker 4: to lose, and then you're second-guessing yourself. Barbara Matera works here.
• 46:03
  Speaker 4: She says, Blakeman. And Lori, our good friend, the real
• 46:07
  Speaker 4: estate girl in New Jersey, she says, I should go
• 46:09
  Speaker 4: to Rockland. Glassberg says, Blakeman is a national story.
• 46:13
  Speaker 1: Well, it is.
• 46:14
  Speaker 4: You know, there was a poll yesterday taken. Maybe it
• 46:17
  Speaker 4: was a magazine. I don't know what it was. But some,
• 46:21
  Speaker 4: I think it was a magazine. They had Hochul rated,
• 46:24
  Speaker 4: something that Blakeman actually says all the time, Hochul the
• 46:28
  Speaker 4: 50th best mayor, or mayor, governor out of 50. Yes,
• 46:31
  Speaker 4: all that. The worst governor in the country. Where was that?
• 46:37
  Speaker 4: I can't remember where it was. Was it a magazine?
• 46:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, some report where they.
• 46:40
  Speaker 4: Was it the Bruce Blakeman magazine that they print in Massapequa?
• 46:44
  Speaker 4: It really wasn't.
• 46:44
  Speaker 1: It was actually an analysis of everything.
• 46:47
  Speaker 4: It was.
• 46:47
  Speaker 1: Crime and the economy.
• 46:48
  Speaker 4: They had Kathy Hochul as the worst governor in the country.
• 46:52
  Speaker 4: Forget about midway through. Maybe she's 25th. The worst governor
• 46:56
  Speaker 4: in the country. Not even a Long Island magazine. Well,
• 47:00
  Speaker 4: how about that?
• 47:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, dead last.
• 47:02
  Speaker 4: That means I've got to go to Blakeman, no?
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know.
• 47:07
  Speaker 4: What if Lawler pays me, though?
• 47:09
  Speaker 1: Well, then we know what year you're going to go.
• 47:11
  Speaker 1: If they both paid you.
• 47:14
  Speaker 4: Oh, that's true. Then I can know someone's got to
• 47:16
  Speaker 4: pay me more.
• 47:18
  Speaker 6: I just want this conundrum to keep on going and
• 47:19
  Speaker 6: going and going.
• 47:20
  Speaker 1: Well, the truth is, the juice in the room you'll
• 47:23
  Speaker 1: get will be in Rockland, right? Because you'll be the
• 47:26
  Speaker 1: big star attraction.
• 47:27
  Speaker 8: Right.
• 47:28
  Speaker 1: But you won't get the press. That's absolutely true. Lisa
• 47:31
  Speaker 1: G has it right.
• 47:33
  Speaker 4: New York Newsday hates my guts.
• 47:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but there's going to be national press at Blue Split.
• 47:37
  Speaker 4: They hate me, too. I'm banned on Fox News.
• 47:40
  Speaker 8: Banned.
• 47:41
  Speaker 4: Who else is going to cover me? What, Marsha Clark?
• 47:44
  Speaker 4: Not Marsha Clark. She was OJ's. What is her name?
• 47:46
  Speaker 4: Marsha Kramer? She's going to come up to me? She
• 47:49
  Speaker 4: never quotes me. She never quotes me. I am the
• 47:52
  Speaker 4: most quotable guy in this city when it comes to
• 47:55
  Speaker 4: the mayor. And none of those people, Melissa Russo tried
• 47:58
  Speaker 4: it once. I ate her ass for lunch at the
• 48:00
  Speaker 4: Israeli day parade. She's done with me, okay? So what
• 48:03
  Speaker 4: good is the press if they all hate my guts?
• 48:06
  Speaker 4: I'm basically Trump in this state. They're not coming to me.
• 48:10
  Speaker 8: Or are they?
• 48:10
  Speaker 4: No.
• 48:12
  Speaker 1: Maybe they will. Maybe you'll get on, like, you know,
• 48:14
  Speaker 1: some big podcast or something.
• 48:16
  Speaker 4: Errol Lewis? New York One?
• 48:18
  Speaker 1: No, like some Republican, you know, podcast of something.
• 48:22
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 48:23
  Speaker 1: They just know that there'll be bigger names for sure
• 48:27
  Speaker 1: at Blakeman because people are going to want to be
• 48:29
  Speaker 1: there because that's the biggest race in the state right now.
• 48:32
  Speaker 4: Okay. All right. We've got to go. Yeah, I've got
• 48:35
  Speaker 4: to think about this. I've got a lot of good
• 48:37
  Speaker 4: guests coming on today, too. Alex Treyman, Gerard Maroney. That's
• 48:40
  Speaker 4: going to be about a big Italian night. Forget about
• 48:42
  Speaker 4: the elections and the Israelis. We're honoring our friend Narducci
• 48:47
  Speaker 4: at Rousseau's on the Bay tomorrow night. So we'll talk
• 48:49
  Speaker 4: to Gerard Maroney, the great Italian lawyer. Bo Dietl's going
• 48:52
  Speaker 4: to be here, Nicole Maliotakis. And, of course, Bibi's senior
• 48:56
  Speaker 4: policy advisor. He goes nowhere without this guy, Dr. Ophir Falk.
• 49:02
  Speaker 4: making his third appearance on this show, and Jew in
• 49:05
  Speaker 4: the City, Allison Josephs, live in studio. It's a big,
• 49:08
  Speaker 4: big show. It's Tuesday morning.
• 49:11
  Speaker 17: Sid and Friends in the Morning on the Red Apple
• 49:14
  Speaker 17: Podcast Network.
• 49:17
  Speaker 4: Hi, New York.
• 49:17
  Speaker 19: It's former Yankee Mark Teixeira.
• 49:19
  Speaker 1: Some of you might know that I'm running for.
• 49:21
  Speaker 19: Congress down in my home state of Texas. I'm doing
• 49:24
  Speaker 19: that because I love this country and I want to
• 49:26
  Speaker 19: see it safer and stronger. And that's exactly why I'm
• 49:30
  Speaker 19: supporting Saritha Comatareti to be the next AG of the
• 49:35
  Speaker 19: state of New York. You need an attorney general that's
• 49:37
  Speaker 19: going to fight for you, that's going to put public
• 49:40
  Speaker 19: safety over politics, and is going to make sure that
• 49:43
  Speaker 19: New York stays one of the most prosperous, best places
• 49:48
  Speaker 19: to live in the country. So support Saritha for AG.
• 49:52
  Speaker 4: God bless you. God bless America. But he got to
• 49:54
  Speaker 4: the Yankees in 2009, his first year with the Yankees,
• 49:59
  Speaker 4: and that's the last time the Yankees won a World Series.
• 50:02
  Speaker 4: That great team with Alex Rodriguez and CeCe Sabathia. But Teixeira,
• 50:08
  Speaker 4: that year, led the league. with 39 home runs. You
• 50:12
  Speaker 4: guys realize that? Also led the league with 123 runs
• 50:17
  Speaker 4: batted in. So Teixeira was a monster. And in those seven,
• 50:22
  Speaker 4: eight years with the Yanks, he retired as a Yankee
• 50:27
  Speaker 4: in 2016, 33 home run season, 34, 31. He put
• 50:32
  Speaker 4: up some big, big numbers for the Yanks and huge
• 50:35
  Speaker 4: numbers in that World Series season. And Mark is running.
• 50:39
  Speaker 4: So months and months ago, Nicole Malliotakis, who will join
• 50:43
  Speaker 4: me this morning coming up in the 8 o'clock hour,
• 50:46
  Speaker 4: our amazing congresswoman from Staten Island and Brooklyn, calls me
• 50:50
  Speaker 4: out of the blue. She will text me very rarely,
• 50:53
  Speaker 4: calls me. She calls me. I pick it up, and
• 50:56
  Speaker 4: she goes, someone wants to say hello, and it's text.
• 51:00
  Speaker 4: Text message from Teixeira. Text message, Mark Teixeira. And we exchanged...
• 51:08
  Speaker 4: Some pleasantries. I told him I was a big fan
• 51:10
  Speaker 4: and I love the fact that he's running. One of
• 51:13
  Speaker 4: our great Republicans in the great state of Texas. And
• 51:17
  Speaker 4: he's got his election coming up on Tuesday. But he
• 51:20
  Speaker 4: still took the time to do a video for our
• 51:24
  Speaker 4: friend Saritha. And any decent New Yorker who really cares
• 51:29
  Speaker 4: about this being a safe city. I mean this. I'm
• 51:34
  Speaker 4: not talking about you moron Democrats, you morons, you vote
• 51:37
  Speaker 4: for Democrats no matter what. There's no reason to vote
• 51:41
  Speaker 4: for Letitia James. There's none. Other than you're a moron,
• 51:46
  Speaker 4: you're a Democrat, and she goes after Trump. And I've
• 51:49
  Speaker 4: got friends who love that. I've got family members who
• 51:51
  Speaker 4: love that. And that's all they want to see. They
• 51:54
  Speaker 4: don't care. If their daughter is walking down the street
• 51:57
  Speaker 4: and gets punched across the face, they don't care. They
• 52:00
  Speaker 4: don't care if some Jewish kid gets his yarmulke taken
• 52:03
  Speaker 4: off and spit on. Yet Moshe Indig, that idiot from
• 52:07
  Speaker 4: the Satmar community, congratulates people like Kathy Hochul and Mayor
• 52:12
  Speaker 4: Mamdani and Letitia James for keeping Jews safe when anti-Semitism
• 52:17
  Speaker 4: is at an all-time high, you moron. They don't care.
• 52:21
  Speaker 4: If you're walking down to the subway and Somebody tries
• 52:24
  Speaker 4: to throw you on the tracks. She doesn't care, Letitia James.
• 52:29
  Speaker 4: And the voters don't care. Saritha cares. She legitimately cares.
• 52:35
  Speaker 4: She's put terrorists away. She puts bad people away. She
• 52:39
  Speaker 4: believes in repercussions. She's the real deal. Bottom line is...
• 52:45
  Speaker 4: Saripa Kamathuretti is the real deal. I've known that for months.
• 52:49
  Speaker 4: She was on this show many, many months ago, early on.
• 52:52
  Speaker 4: I've been to a Trump rally with her on Long Island.
• 52:55
  Speaker 4: You and I, Lou, were with her together at the
• 52:58
  Speaker 4: Wharf by our neighborhood that night.
• 53:01
  Speaker 20: Remember?
• 53:02
  Speaker 4: She did a great job there. And she really bludgeoned
• 53:07
  Speaker 4: Letitia James in their debate. That's why she's getting all
• 53:10
  Speaker 4: this recognition now. Because no one really knew who she was.
• 53:15
  Speaker 4: They really didn't. But she beat the living daylights out
• 53:19
  Speaker 4: of a very unprepared... and uncaring Letitia James. And now
• 53:23
  Speaker 4: people are like, wait a second. James is a joke.
• 53:27
  Speaker 4: She's a woman. She's black. And she hates Trump. Those
• 53:31
  Speaker 4: are her qualities. Congratulations. Doesn't prosecute anybody. Doesn't keep anybody safe.
• 53:38
  Speaker 4: Anybody safe. She's black. She's a woman. And she hates Trump. Congratulations, Tish.
• 53:45
  Speaker 4: Such a cute name for a horrible person. Tish. So, Ripa,
• 53:50
  Speaker 4: that's the answer. and she will join me tomorrow, so
• 53:52
  Speaker 4: congratulations to the former Yankee great Mark Teixeira. for doing
• 53:57
  Speaker 4: what he did on video just a couple of days ago.
• 53:59
  Speaker 4: We will take a short break. When we get back,
• 54:02
  Speaker 4: you don't want to miss this. We're going to Jerusalem.

  Speaker 2: The morning on the Red Apple Podcast Network.
• 55:55
  Speaker 4: For our dear friend Alex Tremen, the CEO of JNS.org
• 56:00
  Speaker 4: is standing by. Alex, good afternoon, buddy. How are you?
• 56:04
  Speaker 20: Good afternoon.
• 56:05
  Speaker 4: Doing well.
• 56:06
  Speaker 15: Just came from casting my vote here in the holy
• 56:09
  Speaker 15: city of Jerusalem.
• 56:10
  Speaker 4: And let me guess. You voted for.
• 56:15
  Speaker 7: I got.
• 56:15
  Speaker 4: To think about this for a second. You voted for Eisenkot.
• 56:21
  Speaker 15: I'm not going to spill the beans where I voted.
• 56:23
  Speaker 15: A lot of choices here, but I think you know
• 56:29
  Speaker 15: where I stand on these elections.
• 56:32
  Speaker 4: You voted for Bibi. Stop the nonsense. You voted for Bibi,
• 56:34
  Speaker 4: and you did it enthusiastically like I would do, too. But,
• 56:38
  Speaker 4: you know, we've got a lot of similarities between our
• 56:41
  Speaker 4: two leaders, which are great leaders, President Trump in America
• 56:45
  Speaker 4: and Bibi in Israel, two amazing leaders. And there's also
• 56:49
  Speaker 4: a lot of similarities in what happens when it comes
• 56:52
  Speaker 4: election time. What am I talking about? Stealing elections, you know, fraud, cheating,
• 56:57
  Speaker 4: all that stuff. So John Katsimatidis is playing, paying, I
• 57:02
  Speaker 4: should say, close attention to this race. And he keeps
• 57:05
  Speaker 4: texting me. He sent me something this morning about a
• 57:08
  Speaker 4: bunch of arrests made last night. And then they have
• 57:11
  Speaker 4: people like cash, a boss ballots. What the hell was
• 57:15
  Speaker 4: that all about?
• 57:17
  Speaker 8: Yeah, you're right.
• 57:17
  Speaker 15: Three people were arrested overnight in an Arab district where
• 57:23
  Speaker 15: people had, as you said, piles of cash and pre-filled
• 57:28
  Speaker 15: out ballots and envelopes. So what they were going to
• 57:32
  Speaker 15: do is try to get people to pay them to
• 57:35
  Speaker 15: come to the voting booth and to deliver the votes
• 57:39
  Speaker 15: that they wanted. But I'll tell you, I think that
• 57:41
  Speaker 15: the Israeli system is much safer now against widespread fraud
• 57:46
  Speaker 15: than the United States. I remember coming here first time
• 57:49
  Speaker 15: voting in 2005, and I was shocked because the way
• 57:53
  Speaker 15: you vote is you, one person goes into the voting
• 57:56
  Speaker 15: room at a time. You have to present your identification.
• 58:00
  Speaker 15: There's three different people sitting there checking your name off
• 58:03
  Speaker 15: on the list. You're assigned to specific booths. You can't
• 58:06
  Speaker 15: go anywhere you want. You got to go to a
• 58:07
  Speaker 15: specific place where you're assigned. They check your name off
• 58:10
  Speaker 15: on three different lists. They hold your state issue identification.
• 58:14
  Speaker 15: You cannot vote without presenting that. Then you get an envelope.
• 58:17
  Speaker 15: You take that envelope. You walk behind a little cardboard booth.
• 58:22
  Speaker 15: There are basically 30 little pieces of paper, each one
• 58:26
  Speaker 15: representing one of the political parties. You have to select one.
• 58:30
  Speaker 15: Nobody watches what you do. You select one party piece
• 58:33
  Speaker 15: of paper. You stick it in the envelope. You seal
• 58:36
  Speaker 15: the envelope. So you bring it back, you put it
• 58:38
  Speaker 15: inside a cardboard box, and then you take your identification
• 58:41
  Speaker 15: and you leave. And there are many people at every
• 58:45
  Speaker 15: booth representing different parties, making sure that each person that
• 58:49
  Speaker 15: came in is who they say they are, and then
• 58:51
  Speaker 15: counting the votes as they come in. And so while
• 58:55
  Speaker 15: it seems backwards, and I thought to myself, wow, in
• 58:58
  Speaker 15: America you have voting booths, and this is a startup nation,
• 59:00
  Speaker 15: and can't we vote on an app? or something like that.
• 59:04
  Speaker 15: After you see what's happened in American elections and in
• 59:06
  Speaker 15: other elections, you actually think, wow, I'll take this paper
• 59:09
  Speaker 15: voting situation And while there can be some fraud, especially
• 59:14
  Speaker 15: in Arab areas where they try to rig the system there,
• 59:18
  Speaker 15: and we could talk about that more, I would say
• 59:20
  Speaker 15: by and large, this is a pretty safe and trusted
• 59:24
  Speaker 15: voting system.
• 59:25
  Speaker 4: Do you have mail-in ballots there?
• 59:28
  Speaker 15: There's no mail-in ballots. There's no absentee votes, with the
• 59:31
  Speaker 15: exception of diplomats.
• 59:33
  Speaker 21: That are abroad.
• 59:35
  Speaker 15: You cannot mail in a vote. You must show up
• 59:38
  Speaker 15: in person at your assigned voting booth to cast your
• 59:41
  Speaker 15: vote on Election Day during the specific hours from 8 a.m.
• 59:44
  Speaker 21: To 10 p.m.
• 59:45
  Speaker 4: Exactly what we should do here in the United States.
• 59:47
  Speaker 4: These mail-in ballots are a bunch of nonsense. And then,
• 59:50
  Speaker 4: of course, the president and my team, because I'm on
• 59:53
  Speaker 4: the right side, literally and figuratively, we're trying to pass
• 59:56
  Speaker 4: the Save America Act. And the momentum behind that is
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 4: every American should have to show ID before they vote
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 4: because we know that illegals that are very thankful to
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 4: the Democrats come here and vote in numbers and they're
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 4: not supposed to be voting. Then you get dead people
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 4: voting all kinds of nonsense. So we're trying to get
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 4: this Save America Act passed. I would imagine in Israel,
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 4: like you just pointed out, everybody must show ID, right?
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 15: You must show your state-issued ID. Without it, you cannot vote.
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 15: And again, you must take that ID, show it to
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 15: multiple people. They check that you are the person who
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 15: you represent yourself to be, and it's only in the
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 15: assigned room within a greater voting station that you are
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 15: assigned to be at.
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 4: Unreal. You guys got it right there. We're still like
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 4: idiots here in America. I do know that it's not illegal,
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 4: but it does seem somewhat unethical. And I was talking
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 4: to Ophir Falk about this, Bibi's senior policy advisor. He's
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 4: going to join me live from Israel in about an
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 4: hour and a half. Alex, I got you covered in
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 4: Israel today. He was saying that they've got proof that
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 4: there are people on the left in Israel that purchased
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 4: airplane tickets for people in New York, for example, because
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 4: you can't vote from New York like you just said.
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 4: You have to be in Israel to vote, that there
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 4: are people anti-Bibi Israel saying, that spent a lot of
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 4: money flying people back to Israel to make sure they
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 4: voted against Bibi Netanyahu. Can you confirm or deny that?
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 15: Well, we've seen the reports. It's being reported that as
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 15: many as 60,000 Israelis from abroad have flown in for elections.
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 15: And as you mentioned, regarding left-wing parties, we saw people
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 15: arriving yesterday with T-shirts of left-wing parties saying that they're
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 15: coming to save the democracy. People that don't want to
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 15: live in Israel anymore because they don't like it here,
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 15: flying abroad, living abroad, flying back here to try to
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 15: impact the elections. And the question is not whether... somebody
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 15: can pay for your ticket to come to Israel. I
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 15: guess somebody can. There's nothing really illegal with that. The
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 15: question is whether there are NGOs, especially U.S.-based 501c3 nonprofit
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 15: organizations that are raising money from tax-free contributions and then
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 15: using those tax-free contributions to fund people's flights to Israel
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 15: to vote in the elections. And that's electioneering and that's
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 15: illegal under U.S.
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 8: Law.
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 15: And we've seen it in previous elections and even in
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 15: between elections, how U.S.-based NGOs raising money from American contributors
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 15: and philanthropists tax-free are doing everything that they can to
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 15: influence Israeli elections, and it's illegal under U.S.
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 19: Law.
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 15: Those organizations should lose their tax-free status.
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 4: Well, let's find out who they are. Can we do that?
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 8: Yes.
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 15: In fact, we already know that this is something that
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 15: is been taking place over many elections. We know that
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 15: the Obama administration in 2015, not only was money coming
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 15: over here from NGOs, but the State Department and the
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 15: USAID actually sent over money for the creation of V15.
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 15: It was an NGO set up in Israel specifically to
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 15: promote the candidacy of current president, but then Labor Party
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 15: leader Isaac Herzog In his election campaign against Prime Minister Netanyahu,
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 15: they sent over money. They sent over their top advisors,
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 15: the Obama administration did, everything that they could to try
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 15: to affect the election and get Netanyahu out of office.
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 15: And that was not just Obama. It went back to
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 15: the Clinton administration. I actually reported that it came out.
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 15: Clinton said it openly that he did everything that he could.
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 15: to try to get Netanyahu out of office in in.
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 20: In 96 or 99.
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 15: And this has been typical, you know, that people now
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 15: President Trump, you know, he endorses Netanyahu was the sitting incumbent, which,
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 15: you know, makes a lot of sense. And then people
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 15: are saying, how.
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 8: Can a U.S.
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 15: President try to impact the Israeli elections? Well, this has
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 15: been going on for decades.
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 4: Yeah, please, stupid. Alex, tell me this. So Mark Levine
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 4: did a great video last night, which I posted on
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 4: my social media. And he talked about, you know, winter,
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 4: and he talked about Eisenhower. And he said, specifically with Eisenhower,
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 4: this is a guy that's going to have Arabs in
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 4: his coalition party. The same Arabs who are against the
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 4: Iran war. The same Arabs that are not happy with
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 4: Israel for fighting the Houthis in Yemen or Hezbollah in Lebanon.
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 4: These are the same Arabs that may end up in
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 4: Eisenkot's coalition. How could you possibly vote for something like that?
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 4: Is Levin right?
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 15: Well, we had it before. When Naftali Bennett became the
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 15: prime minister, there were Arabs in that coalition. There were Arabs,
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 15: and every left-wing member of the Knesset came together for
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 15: the first time in history to form a blocking coalition
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 15: to prevent Netanyahu from being prime minister. They had that
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 15: little coalition together for about a year and a half,
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 15: and then Netanyahu won another election, and he came back
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 15: into office. I don't think that Eisenkot is going to
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 15: sit with the Arabs officially in the coalition, but what
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 15: they're talking about is– presenting a minority coalition where you
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 15: don't have 61 out of the 120 Knesset members. You
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 15: only have 50-something. But we're relying on Arab votes to
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 15: pass that minority government. So essentially it is like Arabs
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 15: voting for that government, even though they don't officially sit
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 15: inside Knesset. that coalition. But I think that there's even
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 15: bigger questions. And that is, you know, how would Gadi
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 15: Eizenkot stand up to international pressure on Israel? For example,
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 15: if the international community says to Gadi Eizenkot, we want
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 15: you to remove all troops from Gaza. Otherwise, there's going
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 15: to be sanctions on your banks. or weapons embargoes? Is
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 15: he going to keep Israeli troops inside the Gaza Strip, or.
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 4: Is he going to pull them all out? He's going
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 4: to pull them out.
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 8: Exactly.
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 15: They tell Gadi Eizenkot, if you do not pull out
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 15: from Judea and Samaria, we're going to recognize a Palestinian state.
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 15: Is he going to stand up to that, and how
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 15: is he going to maneuver on the international level? Does
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 15: he have any experience? maneuvering internationally. So these are, I think,
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 15: some of the big questions. People think that it's just
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 15: a question of Netanyahu and his cult of personality, but
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 15: there are very, very serious policy issues that relate to
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 15: whether there's going to be a war together with the
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 15: United States against Iran, whether there's going to be an
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 15: Israeli presence in Judea and Samaria, whether there's going to
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 15: be an Israeli presence in the Gaza Strip. The stakes
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 15: are very, very high.
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 11: Huge.
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 4: Last one, about 30 seconds to go. I talked to
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 4: you this morning about When you think you'll know something,
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 4: you said, well, about 10 p.m. Israeli time, which is
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 4: 3 p.m. here in New York City. He said, but
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 4: you don't know. It could take up to 48 hours
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 4: before you really know. Noam said it could take months
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 4: before you really find out who the next prime minister is.
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 4: What's the actual answer?
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 15: Well, they're all true, and we'll be covering this tonight
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 15: on JNS on our website, our YouTube channel. I'll be
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 15: anchoring a four-hour live broadcast beginning at 8 p.m.
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 4: In Israel.
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 15: It's only a six-hour difference this week, but I encourage
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 15: people to watch to get the scoop on what is
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 15: at stake, what the results are. But you get the
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 15: first exit polls at 10 p.m. Okay, that's the first
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 15: indications of how the voting actually turned out.
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 4: Okay, so just to correct myself, because it's a six-hour
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 4: difference this week, that's 4 p.m. New York time.
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 15: Right, right, right. Yeah, so our broadcast is going to
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 15: start at 2 p.m. The results, the exit polls are
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 15: going to come out at 4 p.m. Eastern, 10 p.m.
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 15: in Israel. But that still comes from the television stations.
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 15: That's not an official count. The official counting only begins.
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 21: at 10 p.m.
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 15: They do count as fast as they can. And I
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 15: think that by the morning, tomorrow on Wednesday, will have
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 15: a pretty good indication of how many seats each party has. Now,
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 15: that changes as they continue. It could take up to
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 15: 48 hours, really, to count all the votes. And you
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 15: have 120 seats divided by 100% of the vote. So
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 15: sometimes seats can move, and that can shift the entire block.
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 15: The Netanyahu or the anti-Netanyahu block can be shifted on
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 15: the basis of some.
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 8: Of these votes.
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 15: But Once you know the votes, then the president, President Herzog,
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 15: has to decide. He meets with the heads of all
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 15: the parties. They recommend who they think should be the
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 15: prime minister. And then President Herzog decides who he thinks
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 15: has the best chance to put.
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 20: Together a coalition.
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 15: And then he will charge one person, most likely either
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 15: Netanyahu or Eisenhower, with the task of negotiating a coalition,
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 15: that can take up to 21 days. Then there could
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 15: be a 14-day extension if it's just a function of negotiations.
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 15: If that person fails to form a coalition after an extension,
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 15: he can then turn to another candidate and ask them
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 15: to form a government. If they fail, then there's another
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 15: period where the Knesset members, any member of Knesset, can
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 15: try to form a coalition and present it to the president.
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 15: And if nobody is able to form a coalition or
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 15: pass a coalition by that time, which we're already talking
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 15: another month and a half down the line, then you
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 15: have an election triggered for 90 days after that.
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 4: Yeah, but Bibi's not going to have an issue putting
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 4: together a government. He's done it already five times.
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 15: It's very, very tricky. Remember that in 2022, Netanyahu had
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 15: 30 seats, which is a lot in Israeli politics, and
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 15: 13 seats more than the second largest party. It was
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 15: a virtual landslide. But the members of the Knesset colluded
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 15: to prevent him from forming the government that the voters
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 15: voted for. And that's how Naftali Bennett, who only had
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 15: six seats out of the 120... became prime minister despite
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 15: the fact that 95% of the country did not vote
• 1:10:35
  Speaker 15: for him.
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 4: Wild.
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 21: Because it was a collusion.
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 10: Wild.
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 4: All right, we'll be watching you online tonight, today, jns.org.
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 4: Four hours of the coverage from the best in the business.
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 4: He really is the best in the business, Alex Trayman.
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 4: And we'll keep bringing you back until we find out
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 4: whether Bibi stays in power. or somebody else will be
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 4: given that very, very important job, which if you love Israel,
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 4: you've got to hope to God is not the case.
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 4: Alex Treyman, as always, you're beautiful. I love you so much.
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 4: Thank you so much.
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 15: Love you, too.
• 1:11:05
  Speaker 10: Thanks, Sid.
• 1:11:05
  Speaker 4: That's a great job. Alex Treyman right there, the CEO
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 4: of JNS.org, and you're not going to get a better
• 1:11:11
  Speaker 4: explanation of what's going on in Israel than from that guy.
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 6: Oh, my God. He knows the whole deal.
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 4: He really does. It's amazing. I've had Shabbat dinner at
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 4: that man's house in Jerusalem. He's such a great guy.
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 4: You've met him a bunch of times.
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 6: Oh, he's great.
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 4: Super guy.
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 6: So smart and nice.
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 4: And his wife is so lovely, zippy, and he's got
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 4: a bunch of really cute kids, and they're a lovely family.
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 6: He's amazing.
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 4: He is.
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 6: This thing's going to go on.
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 4: Well, it might.
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 21: It's good.
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 4: It might. I mean, you have one scenario. It could
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 4: be over tomorrow or 48 hours. And the other, like
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 4: Noam said earlier, could be months.
• 1:11:45
  Speaker 7: 2019 to 2022, if I'm correct here, Noam, didn't they
• 1:11:48
  Speaker 7: not have a prime minister for like three years?
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 1: Well, they had to run an entire another election.
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 16: Yeah.
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 1: So that's why I was saying that they're not going
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 1: to know anything in 48 hours. 48 hours is when.
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 1: They give them the opportunity to form a coalition, but
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 1: then they get 21 days. Then they get another 14 days,
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 1: and if they can't do it, then they get another
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 1: period of time. They could be in a gridlock for
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 1: like a year.
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 4: And then you know, of course, that Herzog can't stand Bibi.
• 1:12:10
  Speaker 4: He might not have a choice but to give Bibi
• 1:12:12

• 1:13:54
  Speaker 4: Getting married at Russo's on the Bay. So I spoke

  Speaker 4: to Frankie about that a couple of days ago. But
• 1:13:58
  Speaker 4: tomorrow night, it's Unity Day Gala. It's a big deal.
• 1:14:02
  Speaker 4: Big honorees. And who better to speak to than our
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 4: friend Gerard Maroney. Gerard, good morning, buddy. How are you?
• 1:14:09
  Speaker 8: I'm great, Sid.
• 1:14:10
  Speaker 20: Nice to hear from you. How are you doing?
• 1:14:11
  Speaker 4: I'm doing great. And all your buddies are excited about
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 4: tomorrow night. Jonah and Tiata and... I'm sure Steve Maglio
• 1:14:18
  Speaker 4: is going to perform. Frank Sinatra is going to be
• 1:14:19
  Speaker 4: a big, big night. But honoring some friends of mine,
• 1:14:23
  Speaker 4: one of them, Monsignor, obviously the Monsignor, David Casado, he's
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 4: on this show every time, Easter, Christmas. He's my go-to Monsignor,
• 1:14:33
  Speaker 4: but he's just one of four big people you're honoring,
• 1:14:36
  Speaker 4: including also the great Catherine Narducci. Tell me about this night,
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 4: tomorrow night.
• 1:14:42
  Speaker 20: This is very correct. So we were going to have
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 20: Unity Day back in June. And really, the problem was
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 20: we couldn't get the permits. We wanted to originally have
• 1:14:50
  Speaker 20: it in Columbus Circle. We were denied by our mayor.
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 20: Then we were going to have it in Holy Square.
• 1:14:57
  Speaker 20: And then they wouldn't give us an audio permit. So
• 1:15:00
  Speaker 20: we had to shut it down right before we were
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 20: scheduled to go. But we regrouped and we have it
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 20: scheduled for tomorrow at Frankie's Place, Russo's on the Bay.
• 1:15:08
  Speaker 20: We're very, very excited. We've got about 350 people that
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 20: are scheduled, probably more coming tomorrow. We have five wonderful
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 20: Italian-Americans that we're honoring. Catherine Narducci, who's a beautiful friend
• 1:15:19
  Speaker 20: of ours. Of course, Mancini David Casado, who I go
• 1:15:22
  Speaker 20: way back from Mont Carmel. Joe Corzi, which I think
• 1:15:26
  Speaker 20: you know Joe.
• 1:15:27
  Speaker 4: Ah, the great Joe Corzi, one of the great DJs
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 4: in the history of New York radio. What a super guy.
• 1:15:33
  Speaker 20: Yes, and a great Italian-American, Anthony Veloz, who's a chef,
• 1:15:35
  Speaker 20: and Roberto Davi, who, if you remember the show.
• 1:15:40
  Speaker 4: Goonies, Robert Davi. Robert Davi. Yeah, he's a great actor.
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 4: He's a dear, dear friend of mine. What do you mean?
• 1:15:47
  Speaker 4: You know, this is a guy, Robert Davi, not just Goonies,
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 4: but he had the very famous line in the movie
• 1:15:52
  Speaker 4: Die Hard, helicopters up the ass. I actually made a
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 4: movie with Robert Davi. We did a movie about the
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 4: real-life story of the Gemini Lounge for Danny A out
• 1:16:02
  Speaker 4: in Los Angeles, and me and Davi were in the
• 1:16:04
  Speaker 4: movie together. But he's a very, very smart guy. He's
• 1:16:07
  Speaker 4: very pro-Israel, writes a lot of very pro-Trump articles. on
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 4: Breitbart and many other publications over the years. Robert Davi's
• 1:16:15
  Speaker 4: a great guy. Yeah, great guy. And by the way,
• 1:16:18
  Speaker 4: like Maglio, he does a very good Frank Sinatra. He does.
• 1:16:22
  Speaker 8: Oh, yeah, yeah.
• 1:16:22
  Speaker 20: He does. And he'll be singing as well. So we're excited.
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 20: We've been working hard towards tomorrow night. And tomorrow is
• 1:16:29
  Speaker 20: probably the best Italian-American party of the year tomorrow.
• 1:16:32
  Speaker 4: What is, Gerard, what exactly is Unity Day? What is that?
• 1:16:36
  Speaker 4: You know what Columbus Day is? And there I was.
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 4: You've been proud of me in the convertible car that
• 1:16:41
  Speaker 4: day at the Columbus Day parade, the only Jew being
• 1:16:44
  Speaker 4: honored on that day. I do it every year. I'm
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 4: too happy to do it. I love you people. But
• 1:16:47
  Speaker 4: what is Unity Day all about?
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 20: We love you, too. So Unity Day is the original
• 1:16:53
  Speaker 20: day that our founder, Joe Colombo, did in the 70s, right?
• 1:16:57
  Speaker 20: Unity Day, he had 250,000 people in Columbus Circle. Then
• 1:17:01
  Speaker 20: the following year, he had 175,000, 200,000 people. And then unfortunately,
• 1:17:05
  Speaker 20: that's where he was assassinated.
• 1:17:07
  Speaker 4: They shot him there, right?
• 1:17:09
  Speaker 9: That's right.
• 1:17:09
  Speaker 20: The Italian-American Civil Rights Movement League stopped. It stopped in
• 1:17:14
  Speaker 20: its tracks. And we were honored enough to bring the
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 20: organization back about four years ago now. So Unity Day
• 1:17:21
  Speaker 20: is a celebration of that. But it's also a day
• 1:17:24
  Speaker 20: of unification for Italian-Americans. Italian-Americans have to stick together. I
• 1:17:29
  Speaker 20: say it all the time, our values, our family values,
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 20: our way of life. In another generation or two, it's gone.
• 1:17:37
  Speaker 20: If we don't preserve it, family, pasta on Sundays, things
• 1:17:41
  Speaker 20: like that, the little things, it's going to be gone
• 1:17:43
  Speaker 20: soon if we don't unite together. and preserve our way
• 1:17:48
  Speaker 20: of life, our values.
• 1:17:49
  Speaker 4: You're right. So the Joe Colombo assassination, I remember some
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 4: of that. I think it was a black guy who
• 1:17:56
  Speaker 4: killed him, but of course he was hired by somebody.
• 1:17:59
  Speaker 4: And correct me if I'm wrong, maybe it was right,
• 1:18:01
  Speaker 4: maybe it wasn't right, But that's why Joey Gallo was
• 1:18:05
  Speaker 4: murdered outside Umberto's in Little Italy, because they thought he
• 1:18:09
  Speaker 4: was the guy who had Joe Colombo whacked that day.
• 1:18:11
  Speaker 4: Is that true?
• 1:18:13
  Speaker 20: Well, the way our research and our chairman, Anthony Colombo,
• 1:18:16
  Speaker 20: who's Joe Colombo's grandson, who's an attorney, really, we feel
• 1:18:22
  Speaker 20: like it's the FBI that was behind it. Because you
• 1:18:24
  Speaker 20: have Greg Scarpa, if you know the whole story of
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 20: Greg Scarpa, he was a organized crime guy, but he
• 1:18:29
  Speaker 20: was also an active cooperator for 30 years with the feds.
• 1:18:34
  Speaker 20: He went down to Mississippi and he did this and
• 1:18:36
  Speaker 20: he did that. And he was going to be outed.
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 20: They said he was going to be outed by the,
• 1:18:40
  Speaker 20: by the guys in Brooklyn. So they took Colombo out.
• 1:18:44
  Speaker 20: So our research shows that it was really the FBI
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 20: that was behind it. And, and this guy that shot him,
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 20: the black guy that shot him, we really was just
• 1:18:52
  Speaker 20: a pawn to shoot him as a patsy.
• 1:18:54
  Speaker 4: Well, we knew he was a pawn.
• 1:18:55
  Speaker 20: Instantly, by the way, he was shot instantly. So there's
• 1:18:57
  Speaker 20: no witnesses.
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 4: Right. There are none.
• 1:18:59
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 1:18:59
  Speaker 4: And it was packed. It was, he was a middle
• 1:19:01
  Speaker 4: of a million people. And we knew he was a pawn.
• 1:19:03
  Speaker 4: It just wasn't the FBI. Was it Joey Gallo who,
• 1:19:06
  Speaker 4: was murdered on his birthday. He went to a birthday
• 1:19:07
  Speaker 4: party that night with his family, and then he went
• 1:19:10
  Speaker 4: to Umberto's, and they took him out there. Either way,
• 1:19:13
  Speaker 4: Unity Day Gala, it's going to be huge. As my
• 1:19:16
  Speaker 4: friend Gerard just mentioned, five really great Italians, I love
• 1:19:20
  Speaker 4: all of them, will be honored tomorrow night. So what
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 4: did you think of Columbus Day a couple of weeks ago?
• 1:19:25
  Speaker 4: I thought it went great because the mayor wasn't there.
• 1:19:27
  Speaker 4: I loved it.
• 1:19:28
  Speaker 20: I thought they did a beautiful job. When I was
• 1:19:31
  Speaker 20: watching on TV, I didn't go to the parade. I
• 1:19:33
  Speaker 20: had a little bit of an injury that day. But
• 1:19:35
  Speaker 20: I was watching on TV, and they really did a
• 1:19:38
  Speaker 20: nice job. They talked about the old days and the
• 1:19:40
  Speaker 20: neighborhoods and the traditions while the parade was going on.
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 20: So I have to say I was really impressed. I
• 1:19:47
  Speaker 20: was very impressed this year.
• 1:19:48
  Speaker 4: Joe Piscopo is a guy you've got to honor at
• 1:19:50
  Speaker 4: some point. No, I've honored him already.
• 1:19:52
  Speaker 20: I don't know Joe. I've never had the pleasure of
• 1:19:54
  Speaker 20: meeting him, but he's another great Italian-American.
• 1:19:56
  Speaker 21: Absolutely.
• 1:19:56
  Speaker 4: He really is. So can people buy tickets to this,
• 1:19:59
  Speaker 4: or is it sold out?
• 1:20:01
  Speaker 20: You know, we are sold out, unfortunately. But if you
• 1:20:04
  Speaker 20: go on our website, Italian American Civil Rights League, you
• 1:20:08
  Speaker 20: can follow us. You can become a member and definitely
• 1:20:12
  Speaker 20: come to the next one. But we are pretty sold out.
• 1:20:15
  Speaker 20: I mean, the girls that are running the show, we're
• 1:20:19
  Speaker 20: driving them crazy with the seating arrangements. You know, you
• 1:20:21
  Speaker 20: can't put too many Italians together at one table.
• 1:20:22
  Speaker 4: Well, I wish I was coming to this. I would do.
• 1:20:27
  Speaker 4: It sounds like it's going to be great. And I
• 1:20:28
  Speaker 4: do love Catherine. I love her so much. Last time.
• 1:20:32
  Speaker 20: She's amazing.
• 1:20:32
  Speaker 4: She is. The last time I was with her was
• 1:20:35
  Speaker 4: on Long Island, believe it or not. Something for Bruce Blakeman.
• 1:20:38
  Speaker 4: And she went there with Vinnie Pastore. God rest his soul.
• 1:20:41
  Speaker 4: He died a couple of months ago. But I brought
• 1:20:44
  Speaker 4: up the guy that she always plays. She always plays
• 1:20:48
  Speaker 4: Robert De Niro's wife or Robert De Niro's girlfriend. And
• 1:20:51
  Speaker 4: I said, I used to love Robert De Niro. I
• 1:20:53
  Speaker 4: used to love the guy. Now I hate his guts.
• 1:20:55
  Speaker 4: I mean, if he got hit by a bus today,
• 1:20:56
  Speaker 4: I couldn't care less. Sorry. Sorry. And she didn't argue
• 1:21:00
  Speaker 4: with me. She did tell me she loved Bobby. I
• 1:21:04
  Speaker 4: love Bobby. But my God, you look at it now.
• 1:21:07
  Speaker 4: All those great roles. Narducci next to Bobby De Niro.
• 1:21:10
  Speaker 4: What a traitor that guy's turned out to be.
• 1:21:13
  Speaker 20: Well, we love Catherine. So we're honoring Catherine. She's our girl.
• 1:21:18
  Speaker 4: Would you talk bad about De Niro even though he's
• 1:21:20
  Speaker 4: an Italian? He wouldn't do that.
• 1:21:23
  Speaker 20: I can't necessarily talk better. I don't necessarily like what
• 1:21:26
  Speaker 20: he stands for. We don't like as a league what
• 1:21:28
  Speaker 20: he stands for, but listen, everyone's entitled to their opinion.
• 1:21:32
  Speaker 20: You know what they say about opinions, Sid, right?
• 1:21:34
  Speaker 4: Oh, I know what they say. I hear it all
• 1:21:37
  Speaker 4: the time. Well, listen, you are an amazing guy, man.
• 1:21:40
  Speaker 4: I'm really glad that you've been on the show a
• 1:21:42
  Speaker 4: couple of times now and, you know, I love the
• 1:21:45
  Speaker 4: Italian community. I love them. I believe that and, you know,
• 1:21:48
  Speaker 4: like the Jews. Well, I don't care what it is.
• 1:21:50
  Speaker 4: This is a hardworking. They actually, more than the Jews,
• 1:21:53
  Speaker 4: they built this city. You guys did skyscrapers and the
• 1:21:57
  Speaker 4: subway and you're beautiful people. And the food is great.
• 1:22:00
  Speaker 4: It's my favorite food, Italian food. So I can't get
• 1:22:02
  Speaker 4: enough of you people. And you're a great guy. You're
• 1:22:04
  Speaker 4: a great ambassador.
• 1:22:06
  Speaker 20: We love you too. And since the low East side,
• 1:22:08
  Speaker 20: the Italian and the Jews have been together. So we've
• 1:22:10
  Speaker 20: done a lot of things together since the tens and
• 1:22:12
  Speaker 20: twenties in the low East side. So a lot of
• 1:22:15
  Speaker 20: great people came from there. So the Jews and the Italians,
• 1:22:17
  Speaker 20: I've always been strong together and we have the same
• 1:22:19
  Speaker 20: type of moms, you know, the Italian mom and the
• 1:22:21
  Speaker 20: Jewish mom, you know, overbearing, loving mom. So same type
• 1:22:26
  Speaker 20: of my same type.
• 1:22:27
  Speaker 8: Of family, you know?
• 1:22:28
  Speaker 4: And they can cook. Bottom line is they can cook.
• 1:22:31
  Speaker 20: They can cook and they want you to eat all
• 1:22:32
  Speaker 20: the time.
• 1:22:33
  Speaker 4: That's right. Fantastic. Gerard, God bless you. I wish you
• 1:22:35
  Speaker 4: the best of luck tomorrow night. Say hello to all
• 1:22:37
  Speaker 4: my buddies out there. And next time this thing comes around,
• 1:22:41
  Speaker 4: I promise I'll be there. Thank you so much.
• 1:22:43
  Speaker 20: Thank you, Sid.
• 1:22:43
  Speaker 4: All right, man. God bless you. That's the great attorney.
• 1:22:46
  Speaker 4: He's a great attorney, Gerard Maroney, right there. The Unity

  Speaker 4: greatest cop in New York, our Uncle Bo. Bo Dietl,
• 1:23:28
  Speaker 4: big Tuesday morning, buddy. How are you?
• 1:23:31
  Speaker 8: Sid, I'm still vibrating from that great show that we
• 1:23:34
  Speaker 8: had over there on top of Rockefeller Center. Congratulations again.
• 1:23:39
  Speaker 8: I'm very, very proud of you and our girlfriend, Rosanna. You, too,
• 1:23:43
  Speaker 8: were the spotlights, man. That's all I say.
• 1:23:45
  Speaker 4: Thank you. And I must say that your lovely wife, Margo,
• 1:23:48
  Speaker 4: was great, too. So nice and... Very complimentary. She's beautiful.

  Speaker 8: It took us 25 years to get married, but we're
• 1:23:57
  Speaker 8: married and happy.
• 1:23:59
  Speaker 16: Okay. You know, more important than that, you know, before
• 1:24:02
  Speaker 16: I go into.
• 1:24:03
  Speaker 8: This election stuff, you know, I just, I'm outraged of
• 1:24:07
  Speaker 8: what's going on. We've had some interfacing with the New
• 1:24:10
  Speaker 8: York City Police Department. Everyone doesn't even understand what's going
• 1:24:15
  Speaker 8: on with the NYPD. And I challenge anyone, including the commissioner,
• 1:24:19
  Speaker 8: to defunct what I'm going to tell you. People are
• 1:24:22
  Speaker 8: being pushed through the academy academically and physically.
• 1:24:26
  Speaker 16: We used to have to do.
• 1:24:27
  Speaker 8: Pull-ups and this and that. Now they're just told, are
• 1:24:30
  Speaker 8: you breathing?
• 1:24:31
  Speaker 16: Here's a uniform.
• 1:24:32
  Speaker 8: We don't care how fat you are. you are, how
• 1:24:34
  Speaker 8: short you are, as long as you can walk and
• 1:24:38
  Speaker 8: stand there and look at your cell phone, that's what
• 1:24:40
  Speaker 8: we want out there. It's not about adding more police.
• 1:24:44
  Speaker 8: How about adding quality police that can make judgment instead
• 1:24:48
  Speaker 8: of just bodies? I'll tell you right now, I don't
• 1:24:51
  Speaker 8: want to be the police commissioner, but what I would do,
• 1:24:54
  Speaker 8: I could cut this thing down almost one third of
• 1:24:57
  Speaker 8: good professional cops out there that want to do their job.
• 1:25:01
  Speaker 16: But the only.
• 1:25:01
  Speaker 8: Problem is they get no support from the city council
• 1:25:05
  Speaker 8: of morons. And then on top of that, when they
• 1:25:08
  Speaker 8: hit the streets, you drive around. Anybody tell me I'm wrong.
• 1:25:12
  Speaker 8: All they're doing is standing there looking at their damn
• 1:25:15
  Speaker 8: cell phones because they're told not to get involved. All
• 1:25:19
  Speaker 8: they do is take a report. after the crime happened.
• 1:25:22
  Speaker 8: What happened to pro active policing? Crime is a lot
• 1:25:26
  Speaker 8: more and I challenge these numbers that they're throwing around.
• 1:25:28
  Speaker 8: The fear factor is probably near nine or ten that
• 1:25:33
  Speaker 8: people are afraid. The subways, what seven murders on the
• 1:25:37
  Speaker 8: subways and then you get snaggled through telling all how
• 1:25:40
  Speaker 8: great it is.
• 1:25:41
  Speaker 4: One thing about the crime on the subways, I'm tired
• 1:25:43
  Speaker 4: of hearing about it, okay, because it is much worse
• 1:25:46
  Speaker 4: than they're telling you. But what they never mention, Bo,
• 1:25:48
  Speaker 4: and it matters, my little boy Gabriel came from Florida.
• 1:25:52
  Speaker 4: He was born in Florida. He was like seven years old.
• 1:25:54
  Speaker 4: He had some crazy drunk guy. yelling at him, whipping
• 1:25:58
  Speaker 4: out his penis. They don't talk about that. You know,
• 1:26:02
  Speaker 4: the life, the quality of life.
• 1:26:03
  Speaker 16: Quality of life.
• 1:26:04
  Speaker 15: Right.
• 1:26:05
  Speaker 4: You got guys on the subways every day. I take
• 1:26:07
  Speaker 4: it four times a day. Four times a day. They're naked.
• 1:26:10
  Speaker 4: They're defecating. They're masturbating. They don't talk about that stuff, Bo.
• 1:26:15
  Speaker 8: But the only thing is, again, these cops that are
• 1:26:18
  Speaker 8: out there, the ones that really want to do their job,
• 1:26:21
  Speaker 8: they're the ones that are handcuffed with the headlock law,
• 1:26:24
  Speaker 8: the diaphragm law, every kind of law against them doing
• 1:26:28
  Speaker 8: their job. They have no support. And the city council,
• 1:26:32
  Speaker 8: a bunch of morons on that. Well, no one's worried
• 1:26:34
  Speaker 8: about it. They're worried about a frigging horse. And carriage
• 1:26:38
  Speaker 8: over there. What about the dozens of people that were
• 1:26:40
  Speaker 8: killed and injured with these motorbikes? And nobody's dealing with
• 1:26:45
  Speaker 8: it because that's not something that this scumbag mayor, Mondami,
• 1:26:49
  Speaker 8: cares about.
• 1:26:50
  Speaker 16: And, you know, where is he out?
• 1:26:52
  Speaker 20: Here's my real pet peeve.
• 1:26:54
  Speaker 16: Where is the.
• 1:26:55
  Speaker 8: Outrage with our black and brown students? Probably 85% of
• 1:26:59
  Speaker 8: our students in the New York City school are black
• 1:27:03
  Speaker 8: and brown. And we have a school chancellor named Kamala
• 1:27:07
  Speaker 8: Samuels under investigation for no big contract. This fool is
• 1:27:12
  Speaker 8: as good as that other one, Banks, that the criminal
• 1:27:15
  Speaker 8: Eric Adams put all in there.
• 1:27:17
  Speaker 16: And people don't understand.
• 1:27:19
  Speaker 8: Where is the outcry about our little children graduating with
• 1:27:23
  Speaker 8: 50% learning and 50% math qualifications?
• 1:27:27
  Speaker 16: They go into college.
• 1:27:29
  Speaker 8: And they can't even read a comic book. So where
• 1:27:31
  Speaker 8: is the care? Where is the city council? Where are
• 1:27:34
  Speaker 8: the socialists caring about our children?
• 1:27:37
  Speaker 16: I care about all.
• 1:27:38
  Speaker 8: The children, and they're not learning properly. Nobody cares, especially
• 1:27:42
  Speaker 8: when you've got a school chancellor that is a piece
• 1:27:44
  Speaker 8: of garbage. All right, let's get to the election now.
• 1:27:48
  Speaker 8: I had to talk about the children more than anything.
• 1:27:50
  Speaker 8: My daughter was a schoolteacher.
• 1:27:52
  Speaker 16: She left. Bye-bye. She went to Nassau County, my daughter.
• 1:27:56
  Speaker 16: Because you know why?
• 1:27:57
  Speaker 8: Because of what was going on in their city. They
• 1:28:00
  Speaker 8: don't care about good teachers. All they care about is
• 1:28:03
  Speaker 8: all this badness. crap socialist crap and what people are
• 1:28:07
  Speaker 8: thinking about this and that what.
• 1:28:09
  Speaker 4: I want is all they care about to your point
• 1:28:11
  Speaker 4: is dei that's all they care about and when you
• 1:28:15
  Speaker 4: take history for example like both of my children did
• 1:28:18
  Speaker 4: people lie on the internet they go sid you're lying
• 1:28:20
  Speaker 4: no i'm telling the truth ask my son ask my
• 1:28:23
  Speaker 4: son what he learned in history today it's always the
• 1:28:26
  Speaker 4: same thing dad Civil rights and slavery. They spend no
• 1:28:30
  Speaker 4: time on World Wars, on the Holocaust, on 9-11, maybe
• 1:28:36
  Speaker 4: 15 minutes. That's it. Every day, civil rights. and slavery.
• 1:28:41
  Speaker 4: Heard enough.
• 1:28:41
  Speaker 16: Where is the outrage?
• 1:28:43
  Speaker 8: 9-11 never happened. I really never went down there when
• 1:28:46
  Speaker 8: those builders came out. That's just a fragment of my imagination.
• 1:28:50
  Speaker 16: You fools. You damn fools.
• 1:28:52
  Speaker 8: It was the most horrific day in American history.
• 1:28:56
  Speaker 16: You can't sweep it under the rug. Why don't we.
• 1:28:58
  Speaker 8: Educate children to be well and educate them to do
• 1:29:02
  Speaker 8: math and spelling so when they go into college, they
• 1:29:05
  Speaker 8: can take these tests? They're all failure because you've got
• 1:29:08
  Speaker 8: to start at the top. The direction of these chancellors
• 1:29:12
  Speaker 8: and all these teachers being controlled by these socialist unions
• 1:29:16
  Speaker 8: and all that.
• 1:29:17
  Speaker 4: Oh, you also got, don't forget, you got the DOE.
• 1:29:20
  Speaker 4: I mean, what a horrible person. Randy Weingarten, he should
• 1:29:23
  Speaker 4: be in prison. Michael Mogru, he should be in prison.
• 1:29:26
  Speaker 4: These are terrible people.
• 1:29:28
  Speaker 8: Mogul should be on a daisy chain with the other guy, Lieberman,
• 1:29:32
  Speaker 8: the guy with the MTA.
• 1:29:33
  Speaker 16: They should be in a daisy chain.
• 1:29:36
  Speaker 8: Another feckless piece of garbage. All right, now let's get
• 1:29:39
  Speaker 8: to the most important thing. Big election day coming up Tuesday.
• 1:29:42
  Speaker 8: All right, we know what Blakeman's all about, about Hochul's failures.
• 1:29:47
  Speaker 8: People have to understand, whether you're a Democrat, Republican, Independent,
• 1:29:51
  Speaker 8: what are we looking at? You have the energy courses
• 1:29:54
  Speaker 8: are up. Blakeman wants the tax cuts. Hochul's failure, her
• 1:29:58
  Speaker 8: record of affordability. All of a sudden, my biggest thing
• 1:30:02
  Speaker 8: is if Blakeman gets elected, we can get rid of
• 1:30:05
  Speaker 8: this bull crap about not turning people over to ICE.
• 1:30:10
  Speaker 8: Why can't we turn over a person who raped a
• 1:30:14
  Speaker 8: young girl and And all of a sudden, he's an
• 1:30:16
  Speaker 8: illegal in this country. Why can't we turn it? This
• 1:30:20
  Speaker 8: should not be a sanctuary state. And if you vote
• 1:30:23
  Speaker 8: for Blakeman, he'll shut that down. He has the power, people.
• 1:30:26
  Speaker 8: Don't you understand? If you're worried about your children, your grandchildren,
• 1:30:30
  Speaker 8: you should vote for Blakeman. Look, we've seen snaggle, toot, huckle,
• 1:30:34
  Speaker 8: and action. Oh, subway murders, seven of them we have
• 1:30:37
  Speaker 8: since 2025. Oh, crime is down. All of a sudden,
• 1:30:41
  Speaker 8: it's the worst levels from before 2022. And all I
• 1:30:46
  Speaker 8: can tell you right now is she talks a good
• 1:30:49
  Speaker 8: game when she could talk if her teeth don't get
• 1:30:51
  Speaker 8: in the way.
• 1:30:52
  Speaker 16: And then all of a sudden, we got Blakeman. We
• 1:30:55
  Speaker 16: got Blakeman.
• 1:30:56
  Speaker 8: He's saying it like it is. She is Mondami's public.
• 1:31:00
  Speaker 8: She said that she didn't want to campaign with. She
• 1:31:03
  Speaker 8: said there goes, oh, it's hard. I should walk there
• 1:31:06
  Speaker 8: to do a get. We must get out there. And
• 1:31:09
  Speaker 8: then one of the things that's very important.
• 1:31:12
  Speaker 16: Again, we keep going back.
• 1:31:14
  Speaker 8: We're talking about murders of young people by these illegals.
• 1:31:19
  Speaker 8: What is the problem? We don't have to go into
• 1:31:22
  Speaker 8: the streets. I'm on that Homeland Security Advisory Council. We
• 1:31:25
  Speaker 8: don't have to go in the street and hunt these
• 1:31:27
  Speaker 8: people down. All we have to do is get cooperation.
• 1:31:29
  Speaker 8: You snaggle too full. What is the reason for not
• 1:31:33
  Speaker 8: reporting an illegal criminal after they commit a violent crime?
• 1:31:38
  Speaker 16: Answer that question, you snaggle-to-fool. She can't answer it.
• 1:31:41
  Speaker 8: And then all of a sudden, the crime rate, since
• 1:31:43
  Speaker 8: Hochul took over in 2021, it's up 24%. Homelessness, more
• 1:31:49
  Speaker 8: than double. Rents risen 40%. Utility costs 50%. This is
• 1:31:55
  Speaker 8: a very simple equation. And now we've got this lovely candidate.
• 1:31:59
  Speaker 8: for AG in New York State, Sarita Comoretti, and I
• 1:32:04
  Speaker 8: hope I pronounced it correctly. She has the credential, prosecuting,
• 1:32:10
  Speaker 8: public safety first, and all the failed policies of AG.
• 1:32:15
  Speaker 8: Fat butt tissue.
• 1:32:17
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and you just gave numbers, by the way. Crime
• 1:32:19
  Speaker 4: is up with Letitia James, 26%. That's a big number.
• 1:32:24
  Speaker 8: Okay, here's Tish James. Here's her report card. All she
• 1:32:28
  Speaker 8: cared about was the Trump penalty overturned. Medicaid enforcement non-existent
• 1:32:34
  Speaker 8: in this state. Tens of billions of dollars being stolen.
• 1:32:37
  Speaker 8: She just stands there like a fool. She likes to
• 1:32:39
  Speaker 8: go up there, have some of that fried chicken up
• 1:32:42
  Speaker 8: in Harlem.
• 1:32:42
  Speaker 16: What's the name of that?
• 1:32:43
  Speaker 8: What's the name of that restaurant up there? Like Sylvia's.
• 1:32:46
  Speaker 16: She goes up there.
• 1:32:47
  Speaker 8: She got that big butt sitting on the chair.
• 1:32:49
  Speaker 16: All she does is eat that food.
• 1:32:50
  Speaker 4: I actually like Red Rooster better. It's on 125 and Lenox, but.
• 1:32:54
  Speaker 16: I'll be very honest with you.
• 1:32:56
  Speaker 8: I'm a big fried chicken.
• 1:32:57
  Speaker 4: Me too. I love it.
• 1:32:59
  Speaker 16: I love it. I love it.
• 1:33:00
  Speaker 8: I love it. That's not the problem. But when you
• 1:33:02
  Speaker 8: got a big butt like you do, you know what?
• 1:33:05
  Speaker 8: You should ease up, eat a little salad there.
• 1:33:07
  Speaker 16: All right, lady. Okay.
• 1:33:08
  Speaker 8: Now, all of a sudden, bail reform. She criticized everything,
• 1:33:13
  Speaker 8: even though the crime is up. Now, we got one
• 1:33:15
  Speaker 8: other guy there, Republican again, Hernandez. He's running for the controller. Yeah. Right.
• 1:33:23
  Speaker 8: And all of a sudden he wants to fight this
• 1:33:25
  Speaker 8: property right thing with this cope of crap.
• 1:33:27
  Speaker 16: Now they come up with this new one. If you
• 1:33:30
  Speaker 16: own a.
• 1:33:30
  Speaker 8: Building and you're having problems, they're going to take your
• 1:33:33
  Speaker 8: building away. They're going to give it to these fugazi
• 1:33:36
  Speaker 8: nonprofits who kick back money to Mondami and the Democratic
• 1:33:39
  Speaker 8: Social Party. They get first dibs on your property.
• 1:33:43
  Speaker 16: They're telling you what to do. I think that's called Communism?
• 1:33:46
  Speaker 8: I mean, where are we going? Okay, now Mondami comes
• 1:33:50
  Speaker 8: out with a video in Spanish telling all the people
• 1:33:54
  Speaker 8: what you should do if ICE comes, what your rights
• 1:33:57
  Speaker 8: are and all that.
• 1:33:57
  Speaker 16: Hey, scumbag, you know what?
• 1:33:59
  Speaker 8: Why don't you go hide in the Gracie Mansion, take
• 1:34:02
  Speaker 8: your ugly wife with you? You are running our city
• 1:34:05
  Speaker 8: into the ground, and I'm pissed off. All of a sudden,
• 1:34:09
  Speaker 8: we stopped the cooperation with ICE.
• 1:34:13
  Speaker 16: Teen rape.
• 1:34:13
  Speaker 8: I just told you. 25 year, 25 year of walkout
• 1:34:18
  Speaker 8: involving a little 16 year old girl. Almost finished. Almost finished.
• 1:34:21
  Speaker 16: Okay, now we got the city council.
• 1:34:24
  Speaker 8: All they are is a bunch of communist slobs who
• 1:34:27
  Speaker 8: never built anyone.
• 1:34:28
  Speaker 16: They never met a payroll. They never had a dime.
• 1:34:30
  Speaker 8: They never had a job.
• 1:34:32
  Speaker 16: Take Tiffany Caban.
• 1:34:33
  Speaker 8: Oh, it's bull delivery bills. Now they want to stop
• 1:34:38
  Speaker 8: the delivery thing. Subway violence is one in a million events.
• 1:34:44
  Speaker 4: Shut up.
• 1:34:45
  Speaker 8: She tells, she says this in 2021, one in a
• 1:34:47
  Speaker 8: million events. Why don't you try taking the A train
• 1:34:49
  Speaker 8: back and forth? You don't even know what you're talking about,
• 1:34:52
  Speaker 8: Tiffany Kabat. Queer liberation means free Palestine. All of a
• 1:34:57
  Speaker 8: sudden you're talking about that. She fought the Amazon headquarters.
• 1:35:02
  Speaker 8: There were 25,000 jobs for our people in New York.
• 1:35:06
  Speaker 8: This feckless piece of garbage did that.
• 1:35:09
  Speaker 16: Here we go. Almost there.
• 1:35:11
  Speaker 8: We got a one-party rule here. You got that. DeZalabra, Oliva, Chevrolet,
• 1:35:18
  Speaker 8: Brad Lander, and the other one, Claire Valdez.
• 1:35:20
  Speaker 16: It's all one party.
• 1:35:22
  Speaker 8: They won their primaries. They walk right in. We have
• 1:35:26
  Speaker 8: no two-party system in New York City. Thanks to your
• 1:35:29
  Speaker 8: friend here, Big Bird, I'll tell you, Big Bird, Ed Cox,
• 1:35:33
  Speaker 8: is feckless. And every time he runs candidates, we have
• 1:35:37
  Speaker 8: no Republican Party. Hey, Ed, go back to China. Get
• 1:35:40
  Speaker 8: out of New York City. Go with your Chinese friends.
• 1:35:42
  Speaker 16: I know all about you, Ed. You don't like me?
• 1:35:45
  Speaker 8: I don't like you. You're running my party into the ground.
• 1:35:49
  Speaker 16: People, we must get out there and vote. We have to.
• 1:35:53
  Speaker 4: Bottom line, Bo Dietl once again on fire on a
• 1:35:56
  Speaker 4: Tuesday morning. You've got to go out and vote. There's
• 1:35:59
  Speaker 4: no way we're going to win these elections if we
• 1:36:02
  Speaker 4: don't do it, even then it's going to be very difficult.
• 1:36:04
  Speaker 4: Bo knows that. Bo's a smart guy. But if you
• 1:36:07
  Speaker 4: don't vote, then we're dead in the water. So make
• 1:36:08
  Speaker 4: sure you get out and vote. He mentioned a couple
• 1:36:10
  Speaker 4: of very good candidates. Aretha running against Letitia James for
• 1:36:14
  Speaker 4: Attorney General. Bo mentioned Joe Hernandez running against Thomas DiNapoli
• 1:36:18
  Speaker 4: for Comptroller. Obviously, Bruce Blakeman running against... Kathy Hochul. Didn't
• 1:36:23
  Speaker 4: even mention the congressional folks. Folks like Mike Lawler, Mike LaPetri,
• 1:36:28
  Speaker 4: Janine Driscoll, LaLoda. All those fine folks. A lot of
• 1:36:32
  Speaker 4: good people. A lot of really great Republicans here in
• 1:36:36
  Speaker 4: New York. But if Republicans don't vote, we're outnumbered to
• 1:36:39
  Speaker 4: begin with. Then we got no chance. So a weak
• 1:36:41
  Speaker 4: bump today. Even now, we've got early voting. It started
• 1:36:45
  Speaker 4: on Saturday here in New York. Get your ass out
• 1:36:48
  Speaker 4: there and make sure you vote to save New York City,
• 1:36:52
  Speaker 4: to save New York State, and to save America. We'll
• 1:36:58
  Speaker 4: take a break. Great job, Bo Dietl, as always. We've
• 1:37:00
  Speaker 4: got the news coming up. Three more great guests still
• 1:37:03
  Speaker 4: to come, including Nicole Maliotakis and Bibi Netanyahu's senior policy
• 1:37:08
  Speaker 4: advisor live in Israel. All that still to come.
• 1:37:12
  Speaker 1: Sid and Friends.
• 1:37:14
  Speaker 2: In the Morning on the Red Apple Podcast Network.
• 1:37:18
  Speaker 4: He's in Jerusalem with Phoebe this morning. It's afternoon in Israel. Dr.
• 1:37:21
  Speaker 4: Ophir Falk will be back. And that is, I told
• 1:37:25
  Speaker 4: you guys earlier today that I've been invited to two
• 1:37:29
  Speaker 4: different headquarters next Tuesday night, Election Day, to take part
• 1:37:33
  Speaker 4: in what we hope will be celebrations, victories, for both
• 1:37:37
  Speaker 4: Bruce Blakeman out on Long Island in Eisenhower Park and
• 1:37:42
  Speaker 4: Mike Lawler in Rockland County. But my role is different
• 1:37:47
  Speaker 4: in my two invites. For example, Blakeman's night, I would
• 1:37:51
  Speaker 4: not be emceeing it. That would be Joe Cairo. And
• 1:37:55
  Speaker 4: I was told that I could warm up the crowd.
• 1:37:58
  Speaker 4: The crowd loves me. I'll speak. I'll get them all
• 1:38:01
  Speaker 4: fired up, which is very, very nice. Believe me, I'm honored.
• 1:38:04
  Speaker 4: I'm honored to do that. That's the offer for Bruce.
• 1:38:08
  Speaker 4: Lawler out in Rockland County, Lauren... They want me to
• 1:38:12
  Speaker 4: emcee the whole night, which is a little bit of
• 1:38:15
  Speaker 4: a bigger honor, to be honest. So this morning, early,
• 1:38:18
  Speaker 4: I went to Lou and Noam and Justin, and I
• 1:38:22
  Speaker 4: asked what I should do, and of course, there was
• 1:38:23
  Speaker 4: no help. I mean, no help. Zero. So I'm going
• 1:38:27
  Speaker 4: to ask again now, two hours later, Noam, what do
• 1:38:29
  Speaker 4: I do?
• 1:38:30
  Speaker 1: I do? I think I told you earlier this morning
• 1:38:32
  Speaker 1: what I thought you should do.
• 1:38:34
  Speaker 4: Not really.
• 1:38:35
  Speaker 1: You know, you weren't paying attention.
• 1:38:37
  Speaker 4: You didn't really tell me. You said, well, if you
• 1:38:38
  Speaker 4: want to be the big star in a lame party,
• 1:38:42
  Speaker 4: you go to Lawler. But if you want to be
• 1:38:46
  Speaker 4: at a celebrity, a star-studded You go to Blakeman. But
• 1:38:50
  Speaker 4: how do you know all those parties are not going
• 1:38:52
  Speaker 4: to have all that?
• 1:38:53
  Speaker 1: Well, because anybody who wants some juice and want to
• 1:38:56
  Speaker 1: be seen, they're going to be at Blakeman's headquarters.
• 1:38:59
  Speaker 4: They are? Yes. But how do you know that, I'm saying?
• 1:39:02
  Speaker 1: Well, because I think the state people who are running
• 1:39:03
  Speaker 1: for state office will be at the Blakeman party.
• 1:39:06
  Speaker 4: Shut up.
• 1:39:06
  Speaker 1: So for Attorney General.
• 1:39:09
  Speaker 4: Why wouldn't Saritha have her own party?
• 1:39:10
  Speaker 1: Well, we can ask her, but a lot of times.
• 1:39:12
  Speaker 4: She'll be on tomorrow.
• 1:39:13
  Speaker 1: A lot of times they combine it into one party.
• 1:39:15
  Speaker 4: So like Joe Hernandez and Saritha, they're all going to
• 1:39:17
  Speaker 4: be with Bruce?
• 1:39:18
  Speaker 1: Likely. I don't know that for a fact.
• 1:39:20
  Speaker 4: So who the hell is Laura going to have besides
• 1:39:21
  Speaker 4: my guy Ed Day? I love Ed Day.
• 1:39:22
  Speaker 1: Well, that's the whole thing is it's going to be...
• 1:39:24
  Speaker 1: You're going to be fighting it out, duking it out
• 1:39:26
  Speaker 1: with Ed Day to be the biggest celebrity at the party.
• 1:39:30
  Speaker 4: I don't know then. So you're saying I should go
• 1:39:32
  Speaker 4: to Blakeman?
• 1:39:34
  Speaker 1: Well, yeah, I think so. Unless, you know, the only
• 1:39:37
  Speaker 1: thing with Blakeman... Is there somebody else who's emceeing for
• 1:39:41
  Speaker 1: the night?
• 1:39:41
  Speaker 4: So I'm going to get up there for like whatever,
• 1:39:43
  Speaker 4: five minutes and do my thing.
• 1:39:44
  Speaker 1: And then you're done.
• 1:39:45
  Speaker 4: And then I'm done. Well, and then I sit down
• 1:39:47
  Speaker 4: like a jerk off.
• 1:39:47
  Speaker 1: Well, no, that's maybe this is it. You got to watch.
• 1:39:50
  Speaker 4: Michael Petri speak. I don't know, Janine Driscoll.
• 1:39:52
  Speaker 1: Well, no, you asked, you asked to go at the,
• 1:39:54
  Speaker 1: you know, some point where they're really close to tallying
• 1:39:57
  Speaker 1: the numbers.
• 1:39:58
  Speaker 15: Yeah.
• 1:39:58
  Speaker 1: And then you speak and then you go home. Maybe
• 1:40:01
  Speaker 1: that's the key. And you're closer to home because you're
• 1:40:03
  Speaker 1: out on Long Island and you're in Queens. Whereas if
• 1:40:05
  Speaker 1: you're in Rockland, they're going to want you to be
• 1:40:07
  Speaker 1: there the whole night. And that race could go all night.
• 1:40:09
  Speaker 1: I mean, right now it's incredibly close.
• 1:40:10
  Speaker 4: Which one? Lawler and Conley?
• 1:40:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that one, the poll show, it's close.
• 1:40:13
  Speaker 4: Is it Blakeman and Holcomb close?
• 1:40:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, you know, if you're looking at the polls,
• 1:40:18
  Speaker 1: not as close. But you could just make your speech
• 1:40:21
  Speaker 1: at the Blakeman and go home. You don't necessarily have
• 1:40:22
  Speaker 1: to stay.
• 1:40:23
  Speaker 4: You know what I'm taking from all this? You hate
• 1:40:26
  Speaker 4: Mike Lawler. There is no question in my mind that
• 1:40:30
  Speaker 4: you hate Mike Lawler. Are you getting that, Lou?
• 1:40:32
  Speaker 6: It's becoming kind of crystal clear.
• 1:40:33
  Speaker 4: There it is. He loves Kate Conley.
• 1:40:35
  Speaker 1: You know, the opposite is true. In fact, we text
• 1:40:38
  Speaker 1: once in a while, me and Mike Lawler.
• 1:40:40
  Speaker 4: That's not at all true. That is 100% true. About what?
• 1:40:44
  Speaker 1: I've just over the years, I've given him information before
• 1:40:46
  Speaker 1: he comes on the air. Like if he's not listening
• 1:40:48
  Speaker 1: to certain things, he should comment.
• 1:40:50
  Speaker 4: He should never tell him not to say the F
• 1:40:51
  Speaker 4: word three times. That would help. He told him the opposite. Well,
• 1:40:58
  Speaker 4: now I got a text. Look at this. You ready
• 1:41:00
  Speaker 4: for this?
• 1:41:01
  Speaker 1: From Lawler?
• 1:41:01
  Speaker 4: No, not Lawler, not Bruce Blakeman. But a wonderful lady,
• 1:41:07
  Speaker 4: she's on hold. She's coming up next. Our amazing congresswoman,
• 1:41:11
  Speaker 4: Nicole Maliotakis, and she says, come to my party instead. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. What?
• 1:41:21
  Speaker 16: What?
• 1:41:22
  Speaker 17: Sid and Friends in the Morning on the Red Apple
• 1:41:26
  Speaker 17: Podcast Network.
• 1:41:28
  Speaker 4: Tom Sullivan better win that race. If he doesn't, I
• 1:41:30
  Speaker 4: don't know what to tell you, folks.
• 1:41:32
  Speaker 15: War hero.
• 1:41:32
  Speaker 4: War hero. 9-11 hero. Nicole Malliotakis, unbelievable congresswoman. Staten Island, Brooklyn,
• 1:41:40
  Speaker 4: I love her a lot. Here she is. She's going
• 1:41:43
  Speaker 4: to win Tuesday, so I guess we'll talk about her race,
• 1:41:45
  Speaker 4: but there is no race. Nicole, good morning, sweetheart. How
• 1:41:48
  Speaker 4: are you?
• 1:41:50
  Speaker 16: It's always a race. People have a lot of votes. Listen, remember, Sid,
• 1:41:54
  Speaker 16: this was the last midterm was when we lost this seat.
• 1:41:58
  Speaker 16: That was when Dan Donovan lost and we got stuck
• 1:42:00
  Speaker 16: with Max Rose. So don't ever take anything for granted
• 1:42:03
  Speaker 16: because right now. Republicans are not voting as much as,
• 1:42:08
  Speaker 16: what I'm seeing is many Republicans turning out as the
• 1:42:09
  Speaker 16: Democrats on Staten Island.
• 1:42:11
  Speaker 4: Let's start right there.
• 1:42:12
  Speaker 16: Republicans to come out.
• 1:42:13
  Speaker 4: Let's start right there. First of all, Donovan and Max
• 1:42:15
  Speaker 4: Rose were still big names. I don't even know the
• 1:42:16
  Speaker 4: name of the person who's running against you. I got
• 1:42:18
  Speaker 4: to be honest. Nor do I care. But you just
• 1:42:20
  Speaker 4: nailed it. And I don't know why. Why don't Republicans,
• 1:42:25
  Speaker 4: we got the big mouths. We bitch and complain. All
• 1:42:28
  Speaker 4: my buddies all over Rockaway and Bell Harbor and the Ponset,
• 1:42:31
  Speaker 4: they bitch and complain. Why don't they vote? What's the problem?
• 1:42:35
  Speaker 16: Well, first, I think there's a little bit of tradition here.
• 1:42:37
  Speaker 16: Republicans like to come out on Election Day, and I
• 1:42:39
  Speaker 16: get that. But we need to bank these votes. We
• 1:42:43
  Speaker 16: need to get everybody out, and that takes some time here.
• 1:42:46
  Speaker 16: President Trump voted early. I voted early. I took my
• 1:42:49
  Speaker 16: elderly parents to vote over the weekend. So take a friend,
• 1:42:53
  Speaker 16: take a neighbor, take an elderly parent, and get them
• 1:42:55
  Speaker 16: out to vote. Today, the polls are open from 10
• 1:42:58
  Speaker 16: to 8 p.m., both today and tomorrow, 10 to 8 p.m.
• 1:43:02
  Speaker 16: So on your way back from work, Pick up a
• 1:43:04
  Speaker 16: friend and go and vote. It's a nice thing to
• 1:43:06
  Speaker 16: do if you want to save New York and keep
• 1:43:09
  Speaker 16: us in the majority, by the way. I think it's
• 1:43:11
  Speaker 16: really critical that everyone get out and vote in this
• 1:43:14
  Speaker 16: election because look how close Lee Zeldin came. You know,
• 1:43:18
  Speaker 16: if we had churned out more votes from districts like
• 1:43:21
  Speaker 16: mine in this state where people tend to vote more Republican,
• 1:43:25
  Speaker 16: they're more conservative, even if they're registered Democrat, they vote
• 1:43:28
  Speaker 16: more conservative in this district. And if we churned out
• 1:43:32
  Speaker 16: more votes for Lee Zeldin, he could potentially be the
• 1:43:34
  Speaker 16: governor right now. We wouldn't be in this disaster. So
• 1:43:38
  Speaker 16: that's my argument for today is everyone get out there
• 1:43:41
  Speaker 16: and vote. And Sid should come to my party.
• 1:43:44
  Speaker 4: Well, let me ask you.
• 1:43:45
  Speaker 16: I don't have an election night, but my birthday. I'm
• 1:43:47
  Speaker 16: having a big birthday fundraiser Thursday, and you should come
• 1:43:49
  Speaker 16: to Staten Island.
• 1:43:51
  Speaker 4: Let's get to that in a second here. It turns
• 1:43:52
  Speaker 4: out the Sullivans are having their party at the Blarney
• 1:43:55
  Speaker 4: Castle in Breezy Point. Bruce will be at the Lannan.
• 1:43:59
  Speaker 4: I know that place very, very well. And Eisenhower Park
• 1:44:02
  Speaker 4: on Tuesday night. I don't know where Lawler's going to be.
• 1:44:04
  Speaker 4: My guess is the Pearl River Hilton. Where will your
• 1:44:07
  Speaker 4: two big events be on Staten Island?
• 1:44:10
  Speaker 16: Well, we always do election night with the Staten Island
• 1:44:13
  Speaker 16: GOP at LaBette Post because we like to support our veterans.
• 1:44:19
  Speaker 16: And then this Thursday, I'm having a big birthday bash fundraiser,
• 1:44:22
  Speaker 16: the last fundraiser of the campaign. And anybody interested can
• 1:44:26
  Speaker 16: visit Nicole4NY. com slash B-Day 2026. You don't give up. That's
• 1:44:32
  Speaker 16: where you find the information. And I'd love to see you,
• 1:44:37
  Speaker 16: my friend.
• 1:44:39
  Speaker 4: I'm trying to think. Thursday, I may be available. We've
• 1:44:41
  Speaker 4: got Back to Blue here at the station in the afternoon.
• 1:44:43
  Speaker 4: But Thursday night, it could happen. It's on Staten Island, right?
• 1:44:47
  Speaker 16: It's on Staten Island.
• 1:44:48
  Speaker 8: You have the invite.
• 1:44:49
  Speaker 16: I sent it to you.
• 1:44:50
  Speaker 4: No, you didn't.
• 1:44:52
  Speaker 16: I just texted to you.
• 1:44:53
  Speaker 4: Oh, just now. Okay. Well, I'm not looking at my
• 1:44:55
  Speaker 4: phone right now. I'm talking to you. So, okay. Oh,
• 1:44:57
  Speaker 4: the big birthday party for Nicole. So, who comes to
• 1:45:00
  Speaker 4: this shindig? You get Scott Lobato out there. You get
• 1:45:03
  Speaker 4: Frank Marano. Who comes to this big shindig?
• 1:45:06
  Speaker 16: Yeah, look, we'll have the local elected officials. But, you know,
• 1:45:09
  Speaker 16: really it's the people who support this campaign that want
• 1:45:12
  Speaker 16: to make sure that, you know, we're fully funded into
• 1:45:16
  Speaker 16: this last few days. And we do it every year.
• 1:45:18
  Speaker 16: It's an annual event. It's a lot of fun. And, again, people,
• 1:45:21
  Speaker 16: anybody interested, they could just– actually, they could just make
• 1:45:24
  Speaker 16: it easier. Email joe at nicole4ny. com, and he'll send you
• 1:45:28
  Speaker 16: the ticket information. It is a fundraiser, so we do
• 1:45:30
  Speaker 16: ask people to chip in, although my good friend Sid
• 1:45:32
  Speaker 16: can come comp as my guest.
• 1:45:34
  Speaker 4: You are the best. Nobody loves you more than me.
• 1:45:37
  Speaker 4: You know that. Although, although, Nicole, your dear friend, this
• 1:45:40
  Speaker 4: was so nice, 2.30 in the morning. So my guess
• 1:45:44
  Speaker 4: is she's not in America. She sent me a text, 2.30
• 1:45:48
  Speaker 4: Friday morning, congratulating me on my Hall of Fame induction
• 1:45:51
  Speaker 4: last week. Maria Bartiromo, 2.30 in the morning.
• 1:45:56
  Speaker 16: Well, you know, she's used to being up at 2.30
• 1:45:57
  Speaker 16: in the morning to get ready for that show. So
• 1:45:59
  Speaker 16: I think she probably can't sleep very well. Our good friend,
• 1:46:03
  Speaker 16: Maria Bartiromo, who is fantastic. And Sid, if I could
• 1:46:08
  Speaker 16: just point out one thing, I did just get last
• 1:46:11
  Speaker 16: night the USA, our firefighters, New York's bravest, their endorsements.
• 1:46:16
  Speaker 16: I have the firefighters, the fire officers, the paramedics and EMTs,
• 1:46:20
  Speaker 16: and they join every single NYPD union meeting. uh in
• 1:46:25
  Speaker 16: supporting my reelection as well as sanitation the teamsters and
• 1:46:28
  Speaker 16: the transit workers um so i'm very appreciative of that
• 1:46:31
  Speaker 16: and uh look it's always it's always great to have
• 1:46:34
  Speaker 16: friends like you and maria bartiromo um who are supportive.
• 1:46:37
  Speaker 4: Of the work that i do well we love you
• 1:46:38
  Speaker 4: both of us love you and you're great well it's
• 1:46:40
  Speaker 4: easy to support you you're great but some of your
• 1:46:42
  Speaker 4: friends are great too and um i don't know like
• 1:46:45
  Speaker 4: i never think my friends are gonna lose that's just
• 1:46:47
  Speaker 4: what i am but But people are telling me that
• 1:46:49
  Speaker 4: that Lawlor-Conley race in Rockland County, a little too close
• 1:46:54
  Speaker 4: for comfort. Are you paying attention to that?
• 1:46:57
  Speaker 16: Yeah, I was actually out there on Sunday. I was
• 1:46:59
  Speaker 16: at a rally for Mike Lawler to, you know, help
• 1:47:02
  Speaker 16: drive out the vote because we need him in Congress.
• 1:47:05
  Speaker 16: He's a good partner.
• 1:47:06
  Speaker 8: He helps.
• 1:47:07
  Speaker 16: We look together. We've delivered a lot for New York,
• 1:47:10
  Speaker 16: not just the SALT deduction, but we've delivered no tax
• 1:47:13
  Speaker 16: on tips and overtime. And our seniors got refunded. Eighty
• 1:47:16
  Speaker 16: eight percent of them in America got refunded the taxes
• 1:47:19
  Speaker 16: they paid on Social Security. And they're going to continue
• 1:47:21
  Speaker 16: to get that for the next few years. And we
• 1:47:24
  Speaker 16: have to make sure that we elect somebody who, you know,
• 1:47:28
  Speaker 16: this is about electing people with common sense, whether you're
• 1:47:31
  Speaker 16: a Democrat, independent, or Republican. You want, I assume, you
• 1:47:35
  Speaker 16: want New York to be safe. You want our borders
• 1:47:37
  Speaker 16: to be secure. You don't want murderers entering like we
• 1:47:41
  Speaker 16: saw happen. In fact, Kathy Hochul and the Democrats, as
• 1:47:44
  Speaker 16: you know, they've released convicted criminals onto our streets, repeat
• 1:47:50
  Speaker 16: offenders onto our streets. Federal authorities have come in and
• 1:47:53
  Speaker 16: they removed people that were convicted of murder, of rape,
• 1:47:57
  Speaker 16: sex offenses. That's what this election is about. We don't
• 1:48:00
  Speaker 16: want to go back to the open border chaos of
• 1:48:03
  Speaker 16: Joe Biden. Fentanyl in this country, fentanyl deaths have dropped
• 1:48:08
  Speaker 16: 24% since President Trump and Republicans took control, secured the border,
• 1:48:14
  Speaker 16: gave prosecutors the tools to go after these traffickers and
• 1:48:20
  Speaker 16: you know, things like this, I mean, this is literally
• 1:48:23
  Speaker 16: a matter of life and death. And he had Sheridan
• 1:48:26
  Speaker 16: Gorman's parents there who, you know, sadly are the biggest
• 1:48:30
  Speaker 16: example of that. I mean, their daughter was killed, as
• 1:48:33
  Speaker 16: were so many other Americans, by people in this country illegally,
• 1:48:38
  Speaker 16: and the fact that we would give the Democrats control,
• 1:48:41
  Speaker 16: the Democrats who did not want to fund Homeland Security,
• 1:48:44
  Speaker 16: they literally shut down the Department of Homeland Security in
• 1:48:47
  Speaker 16: the 25th anniversary of 9-11. We're going to give these
• 1:48:50
  Speaker 16: guys the key to, I mean, and not to mention
• 1:48:56
  Speaker 16: the crop of people that are going to be coming in, courtesy.
• 1:48:58
  Speaker 8: Of the Democrats.
• 1:48:59
  Speaker 16: You have The guy in Jersey who was a character
• 1:49:02
  Speaker 16: witness for the blind sheep convicted of the World Trade
• 1:49:06
  Speaker 16: Center bombing of 1993. You have this wacko in the
• 1:49:10
  Speaker 16: Bronx who wants no cops, no jails, no borders, wants
• 1:49:12
  Speaker 16: to defund our military, wipes her hands on the American flag.
• 1:49:16
  Speaker 16: These are the people who are going to give access
• 1:49:18
  Speaker 16: to sensitive intelligence. That's what will happen if they take control.
• 1:49:23
  Speaker 16: And it's a very scary thing. So people have to
• 1:49:25
  Speaker 16: get out. And remember, I will remind people one more thing.
• 1:49:28
  Speaker 16: Not only did we lose my congressional seat in 2018
• 1:49:33
  Speaker 16: when people did not come out to vote, we lost
• 1:49:35
  Speaker 16: state Senator Marty Golden in Brooklyn, and the whole squad
• 1:49:39
  Speaker 16: snuck in that year. That was the year AOC snuck
• 1:49:41
  Speaker 16: in because people didn't vote. And so had we voted
• 1:49:44
  Speaker 16: and been more vigilant that year, uh you know we
• 1:49:47
  Speaker 16: wouldn't have probably as as ridiculous uh representation as we're
• 1:49:51
  Speaker 16: seeing popping up from across.
• 1:49:53
  Speaker 4: New york do you think though in all honesty okay
• 1:49:57
  Speaker 4: all honesty do you think you guys are going to
• 1:50:00
  Speaker 4: retain the house.
• 1:50:03
  Speaker 16: I think it's i think it's tough i look what
• 1:50:05
  Speaker 16: i can tell you is new york's going to do
• 1:50:06
  Speaker 16: its job new york's going to deliver i believe we're
• 1:50:10
  Speaker 16: going to keep all our incumbents And we may even
• 1:50:13
  Speaker 16: pick up a seat or two. I think Lepetri and
• 1:50:16
  Speaker 16: Driscoll have a real shot here, especially with Bruce Blakeman
• 1:50:19
  Speaker 16: bringing out Nassau. You know, that I think we can
• 1:50:23
  Speaker 16: actually pick up. In deep blue New York, we can
• 1:50:26
  Speaker 16: actually pick up.
• 1:50:29
  Speaker 4: Seats.
• 1:50:29
  Speaker 16: So I think New York's going to do its job. Now,
• 1:50:32
  Speaker 16: whether the rest of the country delivers is a different story.
• 1:50:35
  Speaker 16: I don't know as much about what's going on, but
• 1:50:37
  Speaker 16: I do know we have some real tough races. People
• 1:50:40
  Speaker 16: in Tom Kane's district have to get out. That's a
• 1:50:42
  Speaker 16: real tough race. We got some seats in Iowa that
• 1:50:45
  Speaker 16: are difficult. So it really depends. But for New York,
• 1:50:49
  Speaker 16: we're going to deliver. We're going to make sure. And remember,
• 1:50:51
  Speaker 16: New York's what delivered the majority last time. It was
• 1:50:55
  Speaker 16: these seats, seats like mine that we flipped, seats like
• 1:50:58
  Speaker 16: Lawler we flipped. These are critical seats. Garbarino also, that
• 1:51:03
  Speaker 16: was– well, it wasn't a flip. It was a hold,
• 1:51:06
  Speaker 16: which was– Right, Peter King.
• 1:51:07
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 1:51:08
  Speaker 16: I mean these are critical seats. And in New York,
• 1:51:12
  Speaker 16: I think we show the country how to get it done,
• 1:51:14
  Speaker 16: how to elect a Republican in a blue city, blue state,
• 1:51:18
  Speaker 16: and hopefully– Hopefully, you know, they're doing their thing in
• 1:51:22
  Speaker 16: these other states where we.
• 1:51:23
  Speaker 20: Need to keep.
• 1:51:23
  Speaker 16: I think we keep the Senate for sure. I'm pretty
• 1:51:26
  Speaker 16: sure about that. The House, I think, is we can
• 1:51:28
  Speaker 16: keep it as long as people vote. That's the key.
• 1:51:31
  Speaker 16: And that's why President Trump's out there rallying Republicans to
• 1:51:34
  Speaker 16: get out, not to stay home. You know, it's all
• 1:51:39
  Speaker 16: about turnout.
• 1:51:40
  Speaker 4: I agree with you.
• 1:51:41
  Speaker 5: All right.
• 1:51:41
  Speaker 4: So for people who want to go to your birthday
• 1:51:42
  Speaker 4: party on Thursday night and then is your election party
• 1:51:46
  Speaker 4: open Tuesday to the public?
• 1:51:48
  Speaker 16: Well, that's the GOP's party, so let them do the inviting.
• 1:51:52
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 1:51:53
  Speaker 4: For people, for Thursday night, you're recommending they'll go to what, Joe?
• 1:51:57
  Speaker 4: Email Joe?
• 1:51:59
  Speaker 16: At Nicole4NY. com. We are selling tickets. It is a fundraiser.
• 1:52:05
  Speaker 16: But Joe at Nicole4NY. com.
• 1:52:09
  Speaker 4: Is four the number four or F-O-R?
• 1:52:11
  Speaker 16: No, F-O-R.
• 1:52:13
  Speaker 4: Gotcha. And how come I don't see you every year
• 1:52:15
  Speaker 4: at the– I see Max Rose once in a while.
• 1:52:17
  Speaker 4: At the best event, besides yours, besides yours, on Staten
• 1:52:21
  Speaker 4: Island every year, the Thursday before Thanksgiving, my guy Teddy Atlas.
• 1:52:27
  Speaker 16: Well, the last couple, I was in Washington, unfortunately, the
• 1:52:31
  Speaker 16: last time. But it depends on the year. If I'm here,
• 1:52:35
  Speaker 16: I do love to go to that event. That is
• 1:52:36
  Speaker 16: a great event. I see a lot of my favorite
• 1:52:39
  Speaker 16: celebrities there. Donovan was there last time.
• 1:52:43
  Speaker 8: Ray Donovan.
• 1:52:44
  Speaker 4: That's true. Ray Donovan, Liv Schreiber. That was two years ago.
• 1:52:47
  Speaker 4: Tracy Morgan comes every year. And you know who I love?
• 1:52:50
  Speaker 4: And I'm sure they vote for you every time. They
• 1:52:52
  Speaker 4: actually own the hotel and the bar, the Nicotras. You
• 1:52:56
  Speaker 4: know them?
• 1:52:57
  Speaker 16: Yes, the Nicotras are good people. And they introduced me
• 1:53:00
  Speaker 16: to Chaz Palminteri. He's also my favorite. You know, Bronx
• 1:53:03
  Speaker 16: Tale is my favorite movie. I don't know if I've
• 1:53:04
  Speaker 16: ever said that.
• 1:53:05
  Speaker 4: No.
• 1:53:06
  Speaker 16: But Bronx Tale is my favorite movie. And I think
• 1:53:09
  Speaker 16: you can learn every life lesson in that movie.
• 1:53:11
  Speaker 20: It's the greatest movie.
• 1:53:12
  Speaker 16: And Chaz Palminteri, I got to meet him through the
• 1:53:15
  Speaker 16: Nicotras because they're very good friends. And he was just
• 1:53:17
  Speaker 16: out on Staten Island supporting Blue Lives Matter. He always does.
• 1:53:21
  Speaker 16: And he's a great guy.
• 1:53:23
  Speaker 4: He is a great guy. Thursday morning, you should come here, actually.
• 1:53:25
  Speaker 4: We've got our Back to Blue event. Well, hours and
• 1:53:28
  Speaker 4: hours before your big birthday party on Thursday night. So
• 1:53:31
  Speaker 4: if you're available Thursday morning, stop by. Either way, we
• 1:53:35
  Speaker 4: love you. You're not going to lose. You lose, we're
• 1:53:38
  Speaker 4: really dead. We need you in the worst way, especially if,
• 1:53:42
  Speaker 4: God forbid, we do lose the house. So continue to
• 1:53:45
  Speaker 4: be the great congresswoman that you are. And I'm going
• 1:53:49
  Speaker 4: to try to see you Thursday night, okay?
• 1:53:51
  Speaker 16: Great. Thank you.
• 1:53:52
  Speaker 4: Nicole, you're great. God bless you. All right, sweetheart. That
• 1:53:55
  Speaker 4: is the great Nicole Maliotakis right here on Sid and Friends.
• 1:53:58
  Speaker 4: In the morning, she's going to win again. We'll take
• 1:54:00
  Speaker 4: a break talking about elections, the big one in Israel
• 1:54:03
  Speaker 4: right now. It's going on. Polls close at 10 o'clock
• 1:54:06
  Speaker 4: tonight in Israel. That's 4 o'clock this afternoon here in
• 1:54:10
  Speaker 4: New York. And the man that's with B.B. all the time,
• 1:54:13
  Speaker 4: all the time, whether he's in a boardroom in Jerusalem,
• 1:54:17
  Speaker 4: sitting with President Trump in Washington, D.C., is his senior
• 1:54:22
  Speaker 4: policy advisor, who's now my best friend, Dr. Ophir Falk.
• 1:54:26
  Speaker 4: And he'll be making his third visit to Sid and
• 1:54:29
  Speaker 4: Friends in the Morning. Sid and Friends.
• 1:54:32
  Speaker 17: In the Morning on the Red Apple Podcast Network.
• 1:54:36
  Speaker 3: Sid, you've not only... become one of the great voices
• 1:54:39
  Speaker 3: of New York and America, you're one of the greatest
• 1:54:42
  Speaker 3: voices of truth for Israel. And there's a reason you
• 1:54:45
  Speaker 3: have such an enormous audience. You don't blabber woke nonsense.
• 1:54:50
  Speaker 3: You don't tell people what the fashionable crowd thinks they
• 1:54:52
  Speaker 3: should hear. You tell them the truth, the hard truth.
• 1:54:57
  Speaker 3: And you tell it with passion, with humor, and with
• 1:55:00
  Speaker 3: absolutely no fear. Sid, I want you to know, Israel
• 1:55:04
  Speaker 3: knows who its friends are. You have stood with us
• 1:55:07
  Speaker 3: when it was popular and, more importantly, when it wasn't.
• 1:55:11
  Speaker 3: That means a great deal to me. It means a
• 1:55:13
  Speaker 3: great deal to the people of Israel. So thank you, Sid.
• 1:55:17
  Speaker 4: Senior policy advisor. Bibi doesn't leave home without him, okay?
• 1:55:20
  Speaker 4: It doesn't matter, like I said earlier, if he's in
• 1:55:23
  Speaker 4: a board meeting in Jerusalem or if he's sitting with
• 1:55:26
  Speaker 4: Trump in D.C. All fear is right there with Bibi.
• 1:55:29
  Speaker 4: He knows what's going on. He just wrote a great column.
• 1:55:33
  Speaker 4: He gets a lot of... columns published here in the
• 1:55:35
  Speaker 4: United States, you know, New York Post and Wall Street Journal.
• 1:55:39
  Speaker 4: This one reads, Netanyahu's foreign policy advisor. was coming on momentarily,
• 1:55:45
  Speaker 4: urged voters to weigh the partnership with Trump, arguing it
• 1:55:50
  Speaker 4: could help remove Iran's leadership and expand regional peace. What
• 1:55:54
  Speaker 4: he's talking about is something that has to happen to
• 1:55:58
  Speaker 4: win this war, which is change the regime. We know
• 1:56:02
  Speaker 4: no nuclear weapon, the Strait of Hormuz, all that. But
• 1:56:05
  Speaker 4: you've got to change the regime, or it never changes. Anyway,
• 1:56:08
  Speaker 4: here he is, my friend, Dr. Ophir Falk, live in Israel. Dr. Falk,
• 1:56:13
  Speaker 4: how are you, pal? Great, Sid.
• 1:56:15
  Speaker 21: Thanks for having me.
• 1:56:16
  Speaker 4: It's great to have you. You know, this is the
• 1:56:18
  Speaker 4: first election in your country since October 7th. And I'm
• 1:56:24
  Speaker 4: seeing all morning long, Dr. Falk, that a lot of
• 1:56:27
  Speaker 4: young people who really weren't all that interested in politics
• 1:56:32
  Speaker 4: or voting before, are now really interested. Are you seeing,
• 1:56:37
  Speaker 4: at least early on, I know you've got another seven
• 1:56:39
  Speaker 4: hours before the polls close, but are you seeing a
• 1:56:42
  Speaker 4: genuine enthusiasm from Israelis to go vote?
• 1:56:48
  Speaker 8: Yes, I am.
• 1:56:49
  Speaker 21: I think this is a crucial election, and there's going
• 1:56:52
  Speaker 21: to be a lot of, it's going to be a
• 1:56:53
  Speaker 21: high turnout rate for the elections because it's really crucial.
• 1:56:59
  Speaker 21: It's a crucial election here in Israel.
• 1:57:02
  Speaker 4: So does it work in our favor? Like in America,
• 1:57:06
  Speaker 4: for example, we keep begging Republicans to go vote next Tuesday, right?
• 1:57:10
  Speaker 4: Because Republicans don't traditionally vote. In Israel, if the voter
• 1:57:14
  Speaker 4: turnout is larger, does that work for us, for Bibi?
• 1:57:21
  Speaker 21: Well, I think that if everybody who wants Netanyahu to
• 1:57:23
  Speaker 21: be prime minister goes out to vote, Netanyahu will probably
• 1:57:28
  Speaker 21: be prime minister. That's just the way the polls look.
• 1:57:33
  Speaker 21: But I don't really want to get into politics. I'd
• 1:57:34
  Speaker 21: rather focus on policy. And the big question, and there's
• 1:57:38
  Speaker 21: a lot of questions in these elections, but the number
• 1:57:41
  Speaker 21: one question, as far as I see it, is who's
• 1:57:44
  Speaker 21: going to be the prime minister for the next two
• 1:57:45
  Speaker 21: years of President Trump's administration? Who's going to be with
• 1:57:51
  Speaker 21: the president to finish the job in the Middle East
• 1:57:54
  Speaker 21: against the Iranian regime and to expand the peace? Is
• 1:57:58
  Speaker 21: it going to be Netanyahu that was endorsed by the president,
• 1:58:04
  Speaker 21: or is it going to be somebody else? Now, the
• 1:58:08
  Speaker 21: president obviously wants... Netanyahu to be prime minister. On the
• 1:58:12
  Speaker 21: other hand, there's Iran, there's the Houthis, there's Hezbollah, there's Hamas,
• 1:58:17
  Speaker 21: that say that they don't want Netanyahu. So that's the dilemma.
• 1:58:21
  Speaker 21: That's the dilemma, for me at least. And we'll see
• 1:58:25
  Speaker 21: what happens.
• 1:58:26
  Speaker 4: That works in our favor, though, Dr.
• 1:58:28
  Speaker 15: Falk.
• 1:58:28
  Speaker 4: And again, I've got people listening right now. We can,
• 1:58:30
  Speaker 4: we gauge it. We see it. They're listening in Tel Aviv,
• 1:58:32
  Speaker 4: in Jerusalem, in Haifa, in Netanya, all over the place, okay?
• 1:58:36
  Speaker 4: So maybe we can change a couple of minds or
• 1:58:39
  Speaker 4: at least make these people feel like they voted the
• 1:58:41
  Speaker 4: right way. And look, President Trump has not only endorsed Bibi,
• 1:58:45
  Speaker 4: he's endorsed him twice. He endorsed Bibi twice this week.
• 1:58:49
  Speaker 4: And we know, we know that with all the great
• 1:58:52
  Speaker 4: work that both America, okay, and Israel have done and
• 1:58:56
  Speaker 4: done together, it's not over yet. It's not over yet.
• 1:59:00
  Speaker 4: Why would I want to hand this over to an
• 1:59:02
  Speaker 4: Eisencott or anybody? It doesn't matter. Why would I want
• 1:59:05
  Speaker 4: to hand this over to somebody who hasn't done this,
• 1:59:07
  Speaker 4: who hasn't gained the trust of President Trump? That's what
• 1:59:11
  Speaker 4: you're saying, right?
• 1:59:13
  Speaker 21: What I'm saying is that you're absolutely right, Sid. But
• 1:59:15
  Speaker 21: what I'm also saying is that President Trump endorsed Netanyahu
• 1:59:19
  Speaker 21: first and foremost because it's an American interest. It's in
• 1:59:22
  Speaker 21: the best interest of America. because the Prime Minister, Netanyahu, continues,
• 1:59:27
  Speaker 21: and it helps President Trump finish the job. It's in
• 1:59:30
  Speaker 21: the best interest of America. It's in the best interest
• 1:59:33
  Speaker 21: of Israel. And I dare say that it's in the
• 1:59:36
  Speaker 21: best interest of civilization.
• 1:59:38
  Speaker 4: That's a good point. Civilization. Very good point. All of
• 1:59:40
  Speaker 4: Western civilization as well. So this article you just wrote,
• 1:59:44
  Speaker 4: which I read, which was excellent, it's in the Jerusalem Post, actually,
• 1:59:49
  Speaker 4: Jerusalem Post today, where you talk about removing Iran's leadership.
• 1:59:54
  Speaker 4: And I keep saying this, Dr. Falk, yes, no nuclear weapon. Yes,
• 1:59:59
  Speaker 4: make sure the Strait of Hormuz is open. But the
• 2:00:02
  Speaker 4: truth is, we got to keep killing these bastards. I
• 2:00:05
  Speaker 4: hate to say it that way, but it's the truth.
• 2:00:07
  Speaker 4: Because I don't care if you're three levels down, five
• 2:00:10
  Speaker 4: levels down, seven levels down. These guys, whoever comes up next,
• 2:00:16
  Speaker 4: they want to kill us. They want to kill Americans,
• 2:00:18
  Speaker 4: and they want to kill Israelis. So unless there is
• 2:00:22
  Speaker 4: some regime change, nobody wins. That's fair to say, yes? Right.
• 2:00:29
  Speaker 21: Well, I don't think the Iranian people want to have
• 2:00:32
  Speaker 21: one Ayatollah replace another Ayatollah. What we have to do
• 2:00:36
  Speaker 21: is make sure that this genocidal terrorist regime that is
• 2:00:40
  Speaker 21: saying death to America, death to Israel for over 47
• 2:00:43
  Speaker 21: years can no longer be in power there. And we're
• 2:00:46
  Speaker 21: going to remove them from power. We're going to remove
• 2:00:49
  Speaker 21: this genocidal regime. And then it would be up to
• 2:00:52
  Speaker 21: the Iranian people to change that regime. We're going to
• 2:00:57
  Speaker 21: create the conditions for the Iranian people to change the regime.
• 2:01:01
  Speaker 21: But in terms of Israeli interests, in terms of American interests,
• 2:01:04
  Speaker 21: in terms of civilization's interests, we have to remove this regime.
• 2:01:08
  Speaker 21: It's a genocidal terrorist regime that's trying to acquire or
• 2:01:12
  Speaker 21: build nuclear bombs to annihilate Israel. That's what they're saying.
• 2:01:16
  Speaker 21: And it's not only against Israel. It's against the West.
• 2:01:19
  Speaker 21: They're not building these ballistic missiles to that can reach
• 2:01:23
  Speaker 21: New York just for the fun of it. And it's
• 2:01:25
  Speaker 21: a huge threat to Israel, to America, and to civilizations.
• 2:01:29
  Speaker 21: And the only ones who have really stepped up to
• 2:01:31
  Speaker 21: the plate in the past 47 years to confront this
• 2:01:34
  Speaker 21: threat is President Trump and Prime Minister Netanyahu.
• 2:01:38
  Speaker 4: Best one-two punch ever, in my opinion. I've been around
• 2:01:41
  Speaker 4: for almost 60 years. Best one-two punch ever, Trump and
• 2:01:45
  Speaker 4: Prime Minister Netanyahu. I don't live in Israel. I'm not
• 2:01:48
  Speaker 4: there every day, but I would imagine... if I talk
• 2:01:51
  Speaker 4: to the folks that lived in Israel off here, that
• 2:01:53
  Speaker 4: they would agree that there must be regime change, leave
• 2:01:58
  Speaker 4: it up to the people who live in Iran, if
• 2:02:00
  Speaker 4: there's really going to be any peace moving forward. Can
• 2:02:03
  Speaker 4: I assume that that's what most Israelis want?
• 2:02:09
  Speaker 8: Oh, absolutely.
• 2:02:09
  Speaker 21: It's not only most Israelis, it's most, almost all, rational
• 2:02:14
  Speaker 21: people in the Middle East. You'd be surprised how many
• 2:02:17
  Speaker 21: countries in the Gulf and in the region are rooting
• 2:02:20
  Speaker 21: for us to end this regime and for Netanyahu to win, actually,
• 2:02:25
  Speaker 21: because they know that he's the guy who can finish
• 2:02:28
  Speaker 21: the job with the president. And again, the president wants
• 2:02:31
  Speaker 21: to finish the job with Netanyahu, and on the other hand, Iran,
• 2:02:35
  Speaker 21: the Houthis, Hezbollah, Hamas, they don't want Netanyahu to win.
• 2:02:39
  Speaker 20: That's the dilemma.
• 2:02:40
  Speaker 21: Are you going to vote for somebody who President Trump
• 2:02:42
  Speaker 21: wants to win, or are you going to vote for
• 2:02:44
  Speaker 21: someone that Iran, Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis want?
• 2:02:48
  Speaker 4: Right. How is that a dilemma? You're going to vote
• 2:02:51
  Speaker 4: for who the guys, the terrorists, want. I mean, you're right,
• 2:02:53
  Speaker 4: it is a dilemma, but it seems so ridiculous that
• 2:02:55
  Speaker 4: they would want what the terrorists want. It doesn't make
• 2:02:59
  Speaker 4: any sense to me. What do I know? And, you know, listen,
• 2:03:01
  Speaker 4: you know I'm very close with President Trump. We're friends, okay?
• 2:03:04
  Speaker 4: And he's been treated very unfairly here. The DOJ weaponized
• 2:03:08
  Speaker 4: the legal system to go after him. They literally made
• 2:03:12
  Speaker 4: up crimes. They made up crimes. And you know the
• 2:03:14
  Speaker 4: whole Trump history here in America. And it seems pretty
• 2:03:18
  Speaker 4: similar to what Bibi and Sarah and those wonderful Netanyahu's
• 2:03:22
  Speaker 4: are facing in Israel. So the opposition... The left, the
• 2:03:27
  Speaker 4: other side, seems like they are taking out all the stops,
• 2:03:31
  Speaker 4: including flying people to Israel and paying for their airfare
• 2:03:34
  Speaker 4: just to vote against Bibi. So it does seem to me, Ophir,
• 2:03:38
  Speaker 4: like you guys are up against it in this election.
• 2:03:41
  Speaker 21: Right. So those are two different issues. But the main
• 2:03:45
  Speaker 21: issue that you touched upon, the weaponization of the legal system,
• 2:03:49
  Speaker 21: I think that there's two. President Trump and Prime Minister
• 2:03:54
  Speaker 21: Netanyahu has something in common here because the system has
• 2:03:58
  Speaker 21: been weaponized against Trump and against Netanyahu so they can
• 2:04:03
  Speaker 21: relate to that. Thankfully, the cases have crumbled in court,
• 2:04:09
  Speaker 21: and hopefully the witch hunt will come to an end.
• 2:04:12
  Speaker 4: Hopefully. So when do you think you'll find out about this?
• 2:04:14
  Speaker 4: I had Alex Trayman on earlier, Ophir, from JNS.org, and
• 2:04:18
  Speaker 4: he said, you know, we could take 10 o'clock tonight.
• 2:04:21
  Speaker 4: They start counting, but that's a TV. That's not the
• 2:04:23
  Speaker 4: actual counting, 48 hours, and then by the time maybe
• 2:04:26
  Speaker 4: they install a government, maybe they don't. This can go
• 2:04:28
  Speaker 4: anywhere from two days to six months. Do you have
• 2:04:31
  Speaker 4: any idea? Does PB have any idea when you guys
• 2:04:33
  Speaker 4: will know?
• 2:04:34
  Speaker 21: Well, I think the election results will be known by
• 2:04:42
  Speaker 21: late tonight, tomorrow morning. We'll usually know the results, but again,
• 2:04:46
  Speaker 21: this is like a parliamentary democracy. You need to build
• 2:04:50
  Speaker 21: a coalition, so it depends on the results. the coalition,
• 2:04:55
  Speaker 21: it could take a while to build a coalition. It
• 2:04:58
  Speaker 21: depends on what the results are.
• 2:04:59
  Speaker 4: And I imagine you voted already this morning, correct?
• 2:05:03
  Speaker 21: Yes, sir, I have.
• 2:05:04
  Speaker 4: Did you go with Bibi or you went on your own?
• 2:05:07
  Speaker 21: I went with my wife.
• 2:05:09
  Speaker 4: Oh, very nice. Look at you guys. Well, listen, you
• 2:05:12
  Speaker 4: know that with me here in New York and many, many,
• 2:05:15
  Speaker 4: many others, despite the noise and all the hate, you know,
• 2:05:18
  Speaker 4: the haters are always very, very loud, but they're not
• 2:05:20
  Speaker 4: always the biggest in numbers. that these smart people, the
• 2:05:24
  Speaker 4: great Jews, people like me, Mark Levin, and others, we
• 2:05:26
  Speaker 4: are praying to Hashem that Bibi Netanyahu wins today. We
• 2:05:30
  Speaker 4: could never imagine anybody else in that position. than Mr. Netanyahu.
• 2:05:35
  Speaker 4: So we wish you guys the best of luck. He's
• 2:05:37
  Speaker 4: got a great senior policy advisor in you, Dr. Falk.
• 2:05:41
  Speaker 4: I mean, you're just great. You really are. So best
• 2:05:43
  Speaker 4: of luck from us here in America, in New York.
• 2:05:46
  Speaker 4: And hopefully next time you and I talk again, Bibi
• 2:05:49
  Speaker 4: will be in position to remain in power. We love
• 2:05:52
  Speaker 4: you guys. Thank you so much. Thank you, Sid. God
• 2:05:55
  Speaker 4: bless you.
• 2:05:55
  Speaker 1: You too.
• 2:05:56
  Speaker 4: Dr. Falk right there. That is Bibi Netanyahu's senior policy advisor.
• 2:06:01
  Speaker 4: We'll take a break still about 45 minutes to go
• 2:06:04
  Speaker 4: before we hand the football off to Brian Kilmeade. This
• 2:06:07
  Speaker 4: is the Tuesday edition. Marathon runners who have earned the
• 2:06:20
  Speaker 4: Abbott Trophy, which is the majors in marathon running, three domestic, Chicago,
• 2:06:26
  Speaker 4: New York, and Boston. Three international, London, Berlin, and Tokyo.
• 2:06:32
  Speaker 4: She's done them all, Danielle. And others, many others. But
• 2:06:35
  Speaker 4: those are the six that get you the Abbott Trophy,
• 2:06:38
  Speaker 4: and she's got it. So she has been training. Her
• 2:06:41
  Speaker 4: and her dear friend Jessica Hockman. So I lose Danielle
• 2:06:44
  Speaker 4: for the weekend. She's going to stay with Jessica in
• 2:06:46
  Speaker 4: the city. One of the greatest athletes. I'm going to
• 2:06:51
  Speaker 4: say that. Certainly one of the greatest New York football
• 2:06:54
  Speaker 4: giants of all time. The great number 21, Tiki Barber,
• 2:06:59
  Speaker 4: who's one of only like five or six running backs
• 2:07:02
  Speaker 4: in the history of the game to run for 5,000
• 2:07:05
  Speaker 4: and catch 5,000 out of the backfield. Still, this guy
• 2:07:09
  Speaker 4: would have been a Hall of Famer if he spent
• 2:07:11
  Speaker 4: one or two more years in the NFL. He now,
• 2:07:15
  Speaker 4: for many years, does the midday show alongside Evan Roberts
• 2:07:19
  Speaker 4: on WFAN. Tiki runs the New York Marathon every year,
• 2:07:24
  Speaker 4: and he will join me tomorrow. The great number 21,
• 2:07:27
  Speaker 4: Tiki Barber. So, big marathon coming up on Sunday, and
• 2:07:32
  Speaker 4: we will cover it every day, because it is, in
• 2:07:35
  Speaker 4: my opinion, the greatest day in New York of the year.
• 2:07:40
  Speaker 4: We'll take a short break. When we get back, she's
• 2:07:43
  Speaker 4: known as Jew in the City. Her name is Allison Josephs.
• 2:07:47
  Speaker 4: Been a friend of mine for many, many years.
• 2:07:50
  Speaker 17: Sid and Friends in the Morning on the Red Apple
• 2:07:53
  Speaker 17: Podcast Network.
• 2:07:55
  Speaker 4: New Year's Eve, Times Square, because we were forced to
• 2:07:58
  Speaker 4: stay in a hotel right off of Times Square. Square.
• 2:08:00
  Speaker 4: I had water damage in my house in Rockaway. We
• 2:08:03
  Speaker 4: saw Duran Duran perform live at midnight. So Simon LeBron
• 2:08:07
  Speaker 4: will always have a special place in our hearts, and
• 2:08:09
  Speaker 4: he turned 68 today. Allison Joseph's been a friend of
• 2:08:13
  Speaker 4: mine for many, many years. She's known as Jew in
• 2:08:16
  Speaker 4: the City. I love that. This was years ago, way
• 2:08:19
  Speaker 4: before October 7th, when she became famous with that moniker.
• 2:08:23
  Speaker 4: She invited me to a big, big night years ago
• 2:08:25
  Speaker 4: in Lincoln Center, where they honored a whole bunch of Jews.
• 2:08:28
  Speaker 4: You know they honored that night, actually, Louis? It's coming
• 2:08:31
  Speaker 4: back to me. I think they honored Dov Kramer. Right? WFAN.
• 2:08:37
  Speaker 4: They got rid of him since, the fan, but Well,
• 2:08:39
  Speaker 4: they say he resigned, but I think they got rid
• 2:08:41
  Speaker 4: of him.
• 2:08:41
  Speaker 6: I think he was the longest tenured guy at FAN.
• 2:08:43
  Speaker 4: He was. He was.
• 2:08:44
  Speaker 6: He was there before me.
• 2:08:45
  Speaker 4: He writes for this publication, Torah Eichas. He used to
• 2:08:49
  Speaker 4: ask me for quotes. But you honored him that night,
• 2:08:51
  Speaker 4: didn't you? We did. Yeah. So it's good to see you.
• 2:08:54
  Speaker 4: Are you still Jew in the city?
• 2:08:55
  Speaker 9: Still Jew in the city, but now we have repurposed
• 2:08:58
  Speaker 9: JITC to also mean the Jewish Institute for Television and Cinema.
• 2:09:02
  Speaker 4: You're into this whole thing with Hollywood, and, you know,
• 2:09:04
  Speaker 4: I— I'm in a Amazon Prime series right now, Grey's Den,
• 2:09:08
  Speaker 4: but I don't play a Jew. I play a mob guy.
• 2:09:10
  Speaker 4: It's season three, and I played a mob guy for
• 2:09:12
  Speaker 4: two seasons. Every role I've done, two movies, two TV shows,
• 2:09:15
  Speaker 4: I played an Italian. I've never played a Jew. I
• 2:09:17
  Speaker 4: am a Jew. But you're doing a lot of stuff
• 2:09:19
  Speaker 4: with the Jewish people, and the lack of recognition, I guess,
• 2:09:23
  Speaker 4: they get in Hollywood. Is that right?
• 2:09:24
  Speaker 9: Well, the thing is that Hollywood obviously has always been Jewish.
• 2:09:28
  Speaker 9: The question is, what type of Jewish identity do we
• 2:09:30
  Speaker 9: bring to Hollywood? And the founders started it because they
• 2:09:33
  Speaker 9: were running from anti-Semitism. And there was this sense 100
• 2:09:37
  Speaker 9: years ago that if you erase your identity, you hide,
• 2:09:40
  Speaker 9: you mock it, then maybe you'll be accepted more into
• 2:09:44
  Speaker 9: Gentile culture.
• 2:09:45
  Speaker 4: They had no idea that anti-Semitism was the actual motivation
• 2:09:49
  Speaker 4: behind all.
• 2:09:50
  Speaker 9: They could not get into industries that were considered highfalutin
• 2:09:54
  Speaker 9: back East, you know, publishing and real estate, all different. They,
• 2:09:59
  Speaker 9: you know, they had to make Jewish hospitals, Jewish law firms,
• 2:10:02
  Speaker 9: because all of the institutions, just like we're seeing today,
• 2:10:05
  Speaker 9: Jews getting marginalized from larger institutions, universities, different companies that
• 2:10:11
  Speaker 9: was happening a hundred years ago. Then we were too ethnic.
• 2:10:14
  Speaker 9: Now we're too white. It's the same thing, different side
• 2:10:17
  Speaker 9: of the coin. So they went out West, and they
• 2:10:21
  Speaker 9: made an empire of their own, which is what the
• 2:10:23
  Speaker 9: famous book about Jewish Hollywood is called. But when they
• 2:10:26
  Speaker 9: went out there, they didn't bring Jewish pride. They brought
• 2:10:29
  Speaker 9: a little bit of that shame, internalized shame and hatred,
• 2:10:32
  Speaker 9: and sort of that sense of how the anti-Semites saw them.
• 2:10:35
  Speaker 9: And they changed their names. And they told stories of assimilation.
• 2:10:39
  Speaker 9: The first talkie film that the Warner Brothers put to sound,
• 2:10:44
  Speaker 9: the first time they put sound on a film, was
• 2:10:45
  Speaker 9: The Jazz Singer. It was about the Cantor's son leaving
• 2:10:49
  Speaker 9: the fold, marrying Mary.
• 2:10:51
  Speaker 1: Sure.
• 2:10:51
  Speaker 9: And becoming American.
• 2:10:53
  Speaker 4: Great movie. Neil Diamond and Sir Lawrence Olivier.
• 2:10:56
  Speaker 9: They released it on Yom Kippur.
• 2:10:58
  Speaker 4: They said that.
• 2:10:59
  Speaker 9: They released it on Yom Kippur.
• 2:11:00
  Speaker 4: Oh, they did release it on Yom Kippur.
• 2:11:01
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 2:11:01
  Speaker 4: So because there's a lot of older Jewish actors that
• 2:11:04
  Speaker 4: changed their names. For example... Tony Randall, who was in
• 2:11:08
  Speaker 4: The Odd Couple. His last name is Rosenberg. Did you
• 2:11:10
  Speaker 4: know that? Tony Randall. Did you know the last name
• 2:11:13
  Speaker 4: of Tony Curtis, who comes off like one of the
• 2:11:15
  Speaker 4: biggest Italian actors ever? Yeah, I believe his last name
• 2:11:18
  Speaker 4: was Schwartz. So for years they've been doing that out
• 2:11:20
  Speaker 4: there in Hollywood.
• 2:11:21
  Speaker 9: Yeah, that was basically how Hollywood started. And so the
• 2:11:24
  Speaker 9: thing is that 100 years ago, all different groups, I think,
• 2:11:27
  Speaker 9: were trying to blend in and be a little bit
• 2:11:30
  Speaker 9: less of their identity. We have this movement now and
• 2:11:32
  Speaker 9: Hollywood is at the forefront. And this is sort of
• 2:11:34
  Speaker 9: a thing where when you get into politics, obviously, there's
• 2:11:37
  Speaker 9: a lot of areas where the right and the left disagrees.
• 2:11:39
  Speaker 9: This is where I think there could be a universal
• 2:11:42
  Speaker 9: agreement because Hollywood is obviously very to the left. What
• 2:11:45
  Speaker 9: about just like, you know, having dignity and humanity for
• 2:11:49
  Speaker 9: different types of people? And I don't agree with the
• 2:11:52
  Speaker 9: villainization of white people. I think that's a problem, too.
• 2:11:55
  Speaker 9: Whites are Christians. There's only a few groups left that
• 2:11:57
  Speaker 9: you're kind of allowed to vilify. Every other group at
• 2:12:00
  Speaker 9: this point has this pride and diversity in their storytelling
• 2:12:04
  Speaker 9: and not Jews. So we went to Hollywood in 2021
• 2:12:08
  Speaker 9: after learning that every other minority group had been advocating
• 2:12:11
  Speaker 9: for decades. They do trainings. They do research. They have
• 2:12:14
  Speaker 9: culturally competent consultants. And then they do media awards once
• 2:12:17
  Speaker 9: a year to celebrate the studios that are doing a
• 2:12:19
  Speaker 9: nice job.
• 2:12:21
  Speaker 4: Media awards, these other groups. But now you're doing that.
• 2:12:24
  Speaker 9: We're doing that now for the Jews. So just to
• 2:12:26
  Speaker 9: tell you how late we are to this game, the
• 2:12:29
  Speaker 9: NAACP Image Awards are in their 57th year. The GLAAD
• 2:12:33
  Speaker 9: Media Awards are in their 37th year. And the JITC
• 2:12:36
  Speaker 9: Jewish Media Awards are in our third year.
• 2:12:38
  Speaker 4: Only third year. And you're the person behind all this, right?
• 2:12:41
  Speaker 9: We are the people behind it. It's a little bit gutsy.
• 2:12:43
  Speaker 9: And a lot of people have kind of been like,
• 2:12:45
  Speaker 9: why you? And what I will tell you is that
• 2:12:47
  Speaker 9: if I looked at Orthodox female representation in Hollywood to
• 2:12:51
  Speaker 9: learn how to behave as an Orthodox woman, I would
• 2:12:53
  Speaker 9: stay quiet. I would be meek. But because I looked
• 2:12:55
  Speaker 9: into my own tradition and I saw... women who had
• 2:12:59
  Speaker 9: voices and power, like Queen Esther, who decided to go
• 2:13:02
  Speaker 9: up against the Persian Empire.
• 2:13:05
  Speaker 16: Why?
• 2:13:05
  Speaker 9: Because when you're a Jew, you know it's you against
• 2:13:08
  Speaker 9: the world, and you do it anyway.
• 2:13:09
  Speaker 4: Hold on a second, though. Let's have an honest conversation, okay?
• 2:13:12
  Speaker 4: Because right now you aren't an Orthodox woman, okay? But
• 2:13:15
  Speaker 4: there was a time you were not Orthodox. That's true.
• 2:13:18
  Speaker 4: In fact, you were a little wild.
• 2:13:19
  Speaker 9: I was never wild.
• 2:13:21
  Speaker 4: I hear you're kind of wild. Like, I got these cousins, right?
• 2:13:24
  Speaker 4: And I'm not going to mention their names, but they'd
• 2:13:26
  Speaker 4: be out on, like, Fire Island swinging, doing drugs, you know.
• 2:13:30
  Speaker 4: And then all of a sudden, the next day, he's
• 2:13:32
  Speaker 4: got a long beard, my cousin. She's got the wig on,
• 2:13:35
  Speaker 4: and they're hanging out with the Lubavitch, and they're as
• 2:13:37
  Speaker 4: religious as anybody you know. But they spent years doing
• 2:13:41
  Speaker 4: all the things that the Torah tells you not to do.
• 2:13:43
  Speaker 4: I'm not saying you were like that.
• 2:13:44
  Speaker 9: I ate bacon cheeseburgers. That was the extent of my wife.
• 2:13:47
  Speaker 9: I became religious when I was 17.
• 2:13:49
  Speaker 4: So when you were 17.
• 2:13:50
  Speaker 8: Yep.
• 2:13:50
  Speaker 4: So you gave up bacon cheeseburgers.
• 2:13:52
  Speaker 9: I gave up a lot of things. But what I
• 2:13:54
  Speaker 9: will tell you.
• 2:13:54
  Speaker 4: What do you miss most? What do you miss most?
• 2:13:56
  Speaker 9: I mean, I've actually recreated a lot of the non-kosher
• 2:13:59
  Speaker 9: dishes from my childhood, and And my husband was raised kosher,
• 2:14:01
  Speaker 9: was raised Orthodox. And he thought at first that sounds
• 2:14:05
  Speaker 9: gross to have bacon or to have cheese. And I'm like, no,
• 2:14:07
  Speaker 9: I'll show you how it goes. And now he loves it.
• 2:14:09
  Speaker 9: My kids love it. So there's so many. This is
• 2:14:11
  Speaker 9: what I would tell you. I, you know, used to
• 2:14:13
  Speaker 9: suntan in bikinis on the beach. What I do now
• 2:14:16
  Speaker 9: is we find like private islands or like, you know,
• 2:14:19
  Speaker 9: private beaches within an island. What I do is find
• 2:14:22
  Speaker 9: ways to take all of the physical and material pleasures
• 2:14:26
  Speaker 9: that I enjoyed in as much as they can fit
• 2:14:28
  Speaker 9: into Judaism and still be able to enjoy that peace.
• 2:14:32
  Speaker 9: But at the end of the day, my soul is
• 2:14:34
  Speaker 9: being filled with something beyond what I had before.
• 2:14:38
  Speaker 4: So you are so happy. You could never imagine going
• 2:14:41
  Speaker 4: back to where you were before. You're happy being this
• 2:14:44
  Speaker 4: type of Jewish. You're wonderful. I love you. You're happy
• 2:14:47
  Speaker 4: in this, right? You're happy.
• 2:14:48
  Speaker 9: Not only am I happy, you know, Let's talk about
• 2:14:50
  Speaker 9: anti-Semitism right now. I have a good friend from high
• 2:14:52
  Speaker 9: school who comes from a similar background than I do.
• 2:14:55
  Speaker 9: And she and I are both facing this hate now
• 2:14:57
  Speaker 9: that the world is throwing at us. And it is
• 2:14:59
  Speaker 9: increasingly alarming and scary and isolating. And I said to her,
• 2:15:04
  Speaker 9: you know, she's a proud Jew and she loves her
• 2:15:06
  Speaker 9: people and she's committed.
• 2:15:07
  Speaker 4: Is she Orthodox too? She's not.
• 2:15:08
  Speaker 9: She's Reform.
• 2:15:09
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 2:15:10
  Speaker 9: And she doesn't have the same Jewish knowledge and Torah
• 2:15:12
  Speaker 9: knowledge that I do because I began learning as I
• 2:15:14
  Speaker 9: became observant. And I explained to her, I have a
• 2:15:17
  Speaker 9: context for where this hate comes from and sort of
• 2:15:19
  Speaker 9: a place to turn to for a deeper meaning. Because
• 2:15:24
  Speaker 9: in our tradition, we know that we have been hated
• 2:15:28
  Speaker 9: and we know that this is sort of the point
• 2:15:31
  Speaker 9: of exile so that we don't lose our way and
• 2:15:33
  Speaker 9: we come together and we return to who we are.
• 2:15:35
  Speaker 9: And so to have that knowledge to give me strength
• 2:15:39
  Speaker 9: in these challenging times, it's not only my day-to-day meaning,
• 2:15:42
  Speaker 9: it's that as the hatred of the world increases, I
• 2:15:45
  Speaker 9: turn deeper into my faith, into my traditions, in loving
• 2:15:48
  Speaker 9: my fellow Jew, and it gives me strength right now.
• 2:15:51
  Speaker 9: I don't know what I would do with it if
• 2:15:52
  Speaker 9: I didn't have that.
• 2:15:52
  Speaker 4: God bless you. I love a lot of Jews. I
• 2:15:55
  Speaker 4: don't love all of them. I kill them on this
• 2:15:56
  Speaker 4: show all the time, but that's me. That's not you.
• 2:15:59
  Speaker 4: This is Allison Joseph. She is the Jew in the city,
• 2:16:01
  Speaker 4: and she's a wonderful young lady. Adam Brody, why would
• 2:16:04
  Speaker 4: he do what he did? He's playing a rabbi. It's
• 2:16:06
  Speaker 4: a great show. I watched season one with my wife.
• 2:16:08
  Speaker 4: We loved it, him and Kristen Bell. I will not
• 2:16:10
  Speaker 4: watch season two. I won't do it. I want to
• 2:16:13
  Speaker 4: do it. Why does Adam Brody, why do all these
• 2:16:15
  Speaker 4: Jewish people cave into the pressure of these morons in Hollywood? Why?
• 2:16:19
  Speaker 9: So I would say that if we look to Hollywood
• 2:16:21
  Speaker 9: to be our moral compass, we're maybe looking for heroes
• 2:16:24
  Speaker 9: in the wrong place. People don't go to Hollywood because
• 2:16:28
  Speaker 9: they necessarily are the most righteous of the world.
• 2:16:31
  Speaker 4: Good point.
• 2:16:31
  Speaker 9: There are some good people within that group, and we
• 2:16:34
  Speaker 9: have some strong Jewish voices who are standing up despite
• 2:16:38
  Speaker 9: all of the hatred. Where the hell.
• 2:16:40
  Speaker 4: Is Steven Spielberg? Where is, I mean, Adam Sandler's okay,
• 2:16:43
  Speaker 4: I guess, but who are these strong Jewish voices? You
• 2:16:45
  Speaker 4: have to understand, since October 7th, I'm looking for them.
• 2:16:49
  Speaker 4: I mean, I'm one of them, but I'm not really
• 2:16:51
  Speaker 4: an actor. I make, you know, B-movies. Who are these
• 2:16:54
  Speaker 4: strong Jewish voices?
• 2:16:55
  Speaker 9: So some of the presenters that are coming to our
• 2:16:58
  Speaker 9: awards are.
• 2:16:59
  Speaker 4: Well, tell me about this.
• 2:17:00
  Speaker 9: Yeah, so Deborah Messing has been outspoken since the very beginning. Oh,
• 2:17:03
  Speaker 9: she's a good friend of mine now. Yes, Deborah Messing.
• 2:17:05
  Speaker 4: Now, she hates Trump, and I can't stand that about her.
• 2:17:08
  Speaker 4: Can't stand it. But she was with me at Michael
• 2:17:11
  Speaker 4: Rapaport's documentary, which you must see. It's amazing. His experience
• 2:17:15
  Speaker 4: since October 7th. Am I canceled yet? And we talked
• 2:17:18
  Speaker 4: and we took pictures. And so I love her for
• 2:17:20
  Speaker 4: her Israel stance, but I can't love her fully because
• 2:17:24
  Speaker 4: she hates my president.
• 2:17:25
  Speaker 9: So this is the point that I was saying to
• 2:17:26
  Speaker 9: you before we got on. We have to be big
• 2:17:29
  Speaker 9: tent at this point. We're not going to agree on everything.
• 2:17:31
  Speaker 9: For me, the red line is, are you with the
• 2:17:33
  Speaker 9: Jewish people or are you not? We have Patricia Heaton,
• 2:17:36
  Speaker 9: who is presenting at our event. Again, we have some
• 2:17:38
  Speaker 9: strong allies. Selma Blair is presenting at our event.
• 2:17:41
  Speaker 4: She's crazy. You know what?
• 2:17:43
  Speaker 9: She has MS. It causes some issues in the brain.
• 2:17:49
  Speaker 4: Oh, come on. I like her.
• 2:17:54
  Speaker 9: She's strong on Israel. She's strong on Israel. I'm trying
• 2:17:58
  Speaker 9: to say that in this moment, this is life and death.
• 2:18:02
  Speaker 9: My line is really, are you with the Jews? Are
• 2:18:03
  Speaker 9: you against the Jews?
• 2:18:05
  Speaker 4: What about the Jews that are with Mamdani? How do
• 2:18:07
  Speaker 4: you feel about them?
• 2:18:08
  Speaker 9: Um, it's, you know, we've actually always had Jews that
• 2:18:11
  Speaker 9: didn't stick with the Jewish people. I learned that Turk Amada,
• 2:18:15
  Speaker 9: the grand inquisitor in Spain was actually a Jew.
• 2:18:17
  Speaker 4: Yes, he was. So everybody knows that the greatest movie
• 2:18:20
  Speaker 4: ever history of the world with Mel Brooks, talk them
• 2:18:22
  Speaker 4: out of it. Don't you remember? Come on. The inquisition.
• 2:18:26
  Speaker 4: It was, see that movie.
• 2:18:27
  Speaker 9: I saw it.
• 2:18:27
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 2:18:28
  Speaker 9: So, um, we've always had the piss boy.
• 2:18:30
  Speaker 4: That was, you know.
• 2:18:31
  Speaker 9: Where we see this actually in the Seder.
• 2:18:34
  Speaker 4: That's true.
• 2:18:35
  Speaker 9: The wicked son.
• 2:18:36
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 2:18:36
  Speaker 9: The wicked son in the Seder separates himself from his people.
• 2:18:39
  Speaker 9: And I always found that part of the Seder to
• 2:18:40
  Speaker 9: be a bit harsh. And then after this whole post-October
• 2:18:44
  Speaker 9: 7th Jews not standing with their people thing happened, I
• 2:18:46
  Speaker 9: realized these are the wicked sons. So it's deeply painful.
• 2:18:50
  Speaker 9: But we're going to Lincoln Center on Thursday, November 5th,
• 2:18:53
  Speaker 9: to celebrate the Jews and the allies that are with us.
• 2:18:56
  Speaker 4: You got good people. You got really good people.
• 2:18:58
  Speaker 9: We have half a dozen studio sponsorships.
• 2:19:01
  Speaker 4: Wow.
• 2:19:02
  Speaker 9: We have HBO Max, Warner Brothers, Paramount, Disney, Fox, Sony.
• 2:19:06
  Speaker 9: They are supporting us. They are showing up with their people.
• 2:19:10
  Speaker 9: And we're going to have this really fascinating mix of
• 2:19:13
  Speaker 9: every type of Jew. We're honoring Kevin Bright, executive producer
• 2:19:16
  Speaker 9: of Friends.
• 2:19:17
  Speaker 4: I told you that his partner was on this show
• 2:19:19
  Speaker 4: a couple weeks ago, David Fischhoff, who was Phil Simms' agent.
• 2:19:22
  Speaker 4: And they've done a movie together where they take kids
• 2:19:26
  Speaker 4: who survived October 7th. He has a rock and roll camp,
• 2:19:29
  Speaker 4: David Fischhoff. And they bring them to the camp and
• 2:19:32
  Speaker 4: Guns N' Roses and I guess Black Sabbath and all
• 2:19:36
  Speaker 4: these groups are there. And these kids get through their
• 2:19:39
  Speaker 4: most difficult times after October 7th. Because of music.
• 2:19:43
  Speaker 8: Yep.
• 2:19:44
  Speaker 9: And Kevin Bright is a producer on that. And he
• 2:19:46
  Speaker 9: has had this beautiful longstanding relationship with his Chabad rabbi.
• 2:19:49
  Speaker 9: Kevin Bright is not Chabad. You know, Kevin's rabbi is
• 2:19:52
  Speaker 9: not a Hollywood producer director. But what they show in
• 2:19:56
  Speaker 9: their video that we're going to premiere there is that
• 2:19:58
  Speaker 9: you can love a Jew who does not live exactly
• 2:20:00
  Speaker 9: like you. We have The Pit as one of our honorees.
• 2:20:03
  Speaker 9: We have Dancing with the Stars. They did this beautiful
• 2:20:05
  Speaker 9: Hanukkah episode. We have Red Alert from Paramount. Did you
• 2:20:09
  Speaker 9: ever see Tehran on Apple TV? Is that a show
• 2:20:11
  Speaker 9: you've seen?
• 2:20:12
  Speaker 4: Never saw that.
• 2:20:13
  Speaker 13: Amazing.
• 2:20:13
  Speaker 9: Israeli Mossad agent.
• 2:20:15
  Speaker 16: Oh, I saw it.
• 2:20:16
  Speaker 4: Tehran. I saw it.
• 2:20:17
  Speaker 9: Amazing. The creator of the show is flying in from Israel.
• 2:20:20
  Speaker 9: So we have this star-studded lineup.
• 2:20:22
  Speaker 4: They blew up the guy inside the big war missile.
• 2:20:27
  Speaker 4: Remember the guy that was the wife? She couldn't leave
• 2:20:29
  Speaker 4: the house.
• 2:20:29
  Speaker 16: Right, right, right.
• 2:20:30
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's a great show. It's called Tehran, right?
• 2:20:32
  Speaker 9: Tehran, yep. So what we're basically doing is we are
• 2:20:35
  Speaker 9: honoring the television shows and films that are standing with
• 2:20:39
  Speaker 9: the Jews right now that are showing Jewish representation in
• 2:20:42
  Speaker 9: a positive way.
• 2:20:43
  Speaker 4: Good job.
• 2:20:43
  Speaker 9: The Jewish community is running in circles trying to figure
• 2:20:45
  Speaker 9: out how do we change the narrative.
• 2:20:47
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 2:20:47
  Speaker 9: And there's actually a mechanism in Hollywood. And we came
• 2:20:50
  Speaker 9: in not knowing anything, I have to tell you. And
• 2:20:53
  Speaker 9: we've been advocating.
• 2:20:54
  Speaker 4: So how do people get to this event on Thursday,
• 2:20:56
  Speaker 4: November 5th? How do they get there if they haven't already?
• 2:20:58
  Speaker 9: So if you go to JITCHollywoodBureau.org or JewInTheCity.com, you'll see
• 2:21:04
  Speaker 9: a banner ad to buy tickets. Look up Jewish Media Awards.
• 2:21:07
  Speaker 9: We'll be on the Internet. We still have a few
• 2:21:10
  Speaker 9: tickets left. We would love to see you there.
• 2:21:12
  Speaker 4: Awesome. Are you rooting for Bibi today?
• 2:21:13
  Speaker 9: I am.
• 2:21:14
  Speaker 4: Or do you not keep up with the Israeli elections?
• 2:21:16
  Speaker 9: I'm not really keeping up with the Israeli elections.
• 2:21:18
  Speaker 4: That means you like Eisenkot.
• 2:21:21
  Speaker 9: I'm rooting for peace. I'm rooting for peace for the
• 2:21:23
  Speaker 9: Jewish people. Peace and strength.
• 2:21:24
  Speaker 4: I love that. You are terrific. You really are. It's
• 2:21:26
  Speaker 4: great to see you. You're doing amazing work. Amazing work.
