  Speaker 1: Sid and Friends in the Morning.
• 0:03
  Speaker 2: Entertaining and informative.
• 0:05
  Speaker 3: On the Red Apple Podcast Network.
• 0:09
  Speaker 4: I'm sorry, Sid. Hi.
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: Oh, God, don't be sorry. Are you kidding me?
• 0:13
  Speaker 4: No, I'm wrapped up in these meetings on peace. And
• 0:17
  Speaker 4: I said, it's between peace and Sid Rosenberg.
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: And I said, let's take Rosenberg, okay?
• 0:22
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 0:24
  Speaker 5: You want to know why I constantly blame the Jewish people,
• 0:28
  Speaker 5: our own people, for our own problems? Take a listen
• 0:32
  Speaker 5: to this self-hating Jew, this piece of garbage, actor Mandy Patinkin,
• 0:37
  Speaker 5: talking about Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan.
• 0:41
  Speaker 6: Abdul El-Sayed is running for the Senate in Michigan, and
• 0:45
  Speaker 6: he must get elected. I've written down a few thoughts.
• 0:50
  Speaker 6: Abdul isn't the scary person his opponents want you to
• 0:53
  Speaker 6: be afraid of. There's so much work going into making
• 0:56
  Speaker 6: people afraid of Abdul. People focus on his Muslim name,
• 0:59
  Speaker 6: make accusation about who he's connected to, and warn that
• 1:03
  Speaker 6: he's going to force Sharia law on everyone.
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: It's ridiculous.
• 1:07
  Speaker 6: Ridiculous. That was my son Gideon agreeing with his father.
• 1:11
  Speaker 6: Always important to point that out. You hear it over
• 1:13
  Speaker 6: and over again, and I think we should stop and
• 1:16
  Speaker 6: ask why. Why they're working.
• 1:17
  Speaker 7: So hard to make us afraid of him.
• 1:21
  Speaker 4: Why?
• 1:22
  Speaker 6: It's hard for me to hear Muslims and Arabs talked
• 1:24
  Speaker 6: about this way without thinking about our own Jewish history.
• 1:28
  Speaker 6: We know, we know what it's like to have people
• 1:31
  Speaker 6: treat your identity as a reason to distrust you, to
• 1:34
  Speaker 6: make you seem threatening just because of who you are.
• 1:38
  Speaker 6: I'm not telling anyone what they have to believe about Abdul.
• 1:41
  Speaker 6: I'm asking people to recognize that this kind of talk
• 1:44
  Speaker 6: should sound familiar to Jews. And look, I understand that
• 1:51
  Speaker 6: people in our community are scared right now. There are
• 1:54
  Speaker 6: real threats, real grief, and real reasons to be worried
• 1:57
  Speaker 6: about Jewish safety. I'm not trying to minimize any of that,
• 2:01
  Speaker 6: not for one second. But what do we actually do?
• 2:05
  Speaker 6: What do we do about it? For me, this comes
• 2:09
  Speaker 6: down to a pretty simple question. We vote. Who is
• 2:14
  Speaker 6: going to protect the democracy that has helped keep Jews
• 2:18
  Speaker 6: safe in America? Abdul, who is going to stand up
• 2:22
  Speaker 6: for the rights of all of us? Abdul, because I
• 2:27
  Speaker 6: believe protecting our community means protecting the democracy that we
• 2:32
  Speaker 6: all depend on. Please, vote for Abdul El-Sayed and get
• 2:37
  Speaker 6: him in the Senate.
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: I want you to think about this, Iran.
• 2:44
  Speaker 8: The original rationale was, well, we're going to go in there.
• 2:47
  Speaker 9: Let's go.
• 2:50
  Speaker 8: We're going to make them bend the knee and give
• 2:55
  Speaker 8: up their nuclear program and their nuclear weapons. Of course,
• 2:58
  Speaker 8: Iran didn't have nuclear weapons. We had curbed their nuclear
• 3:03
  Speaker 8: program because I put in place a deal that everybody
• 3:06
  Speaker 8: acknowledged had kept them from getting nukes. I didn't have
• 3:13
  Speaker 8: to fire a missile. I engaged in diplomacy. So Seven
• 3:21
  Speaker 8: months later and six months after, they declared victory. Keep
• 3:27
  Speaker 8: in mind, like a month in, they're all like, oh,
• 3:29
  Speaker 8: this is the greatest war ever.
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: Look, look.
• 3:33
  Speaker 8: Seven months later, how's that war going? Our allies and
• 3:38
  Speaker 8: bases have been attacked. American soldiers have been killed. Hundreds
• 3:45
  Speaker 8: of Americans have been wounded. We've run down our stock.
• 3:49
  Speaker 8: of missiles, dangerously low. And this is the thing. Iran
• 3:55
  Speaker 8: now has veto power over the Strait of Hormuz where
• 3:59
  Speaker 8: oil goes through to get to the world. So they're
• 4:02
  Speaker 8: in a stronger strategic position now than before the war started.
• 4:08
  Speaker 8: That was a decision this administration made. And that is
• 4:13
  Speaker 8: the reason that the price of oil is up. And
• 4:16
  Speaker 8: the price of diesel is up. And the price of
• 4:19
  Speaker 8: just about everything is up. And by the way, it's
• 4:22
  Speaker 8: not over. It's still going on.
• 4:26
  Speaker 9: Meanwhile, you got the defense secretary.
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: Who?
• 4:30
  Speaker 8: Who?
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: Who?
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: Don't vote.
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: Vote. Vote. Vote.
• 4:39
  Speaker 10: Meanwhile, you've got the defense secretary who is like a
• 4:44
  Speaker 10: laser focused on important matters like the jawline and testosterone
• 4:49
  Speaker 10: levels of our troops. And live streaming executions, because that's
• 4:56
  Speaker 10: how he thinks.
• 4:57
  Speaker 8: You cultivate that manly warrior spirit. How much time do
• 5:03
  Speaker 8: you think this man spends in front of the mirror
• 5:05
  Speaker 8: every day?
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: I mean, he just.
• 5:15
  Speaker 8: These are not serious people.
• 5:18
  Speaker 12: He said, I looked at his ass, and I've never
• 5:22
  Speaker 12: done that with a man before. Off the record, women, yes, men, no, okay?
• 5:30
  Speaker 13: By the way, I looked at one hell of a
• 5:32
  Speaker 13: beautiful ass before, Nicki Minaj.
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: That's hard to miss. Now, stand up.
• 5:45
  Speaker 13: That's hard to miss. Okay, I'm going to get back
• 5:58
  Speaker 13: to my story. I hope Nikki wasn't insulted, but we
• 6:01
  Speaker 13: love Nikki. She's been with us for a long time.
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: What's the message in the locker room right now from
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: a leader like yourself?
• 6:08
  Speaker 14: I mean, follow whatever it takes to win.
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: Control what you can control. Focus on the little details.
• 6:15
  Speaker 8: That may seem small but can impact winning.
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: Most importantly, it's together.
• 6:23
  Speaker 8: One thing I've said throughout an entire training camp and
• 6:26
  Speaker 8: honestly to this day is we're going to see who
• 6:28
  Speaker 8: we are within the first couple weeks of the season.
• 6:30
  Speaker 11: So we're hitting adversity now and having a good response.
• 6:33
  Speaker 9: How about Camp Scatterball? How about the O-line?
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: You know what?
• 6:50
  Speaker 9: You know what we're going to do? Let's get Illuminor
• 6:52
  Speaker 9: up here.
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: Come on, Lou. We're the O-line. I feel like this
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: is just like the start, you know? Like we.
• 7:01
  Speaker 15: Like, this entire week, I know y'all felt that on
• 7:03
  Speaker 15: the sideline. Like, defense coming off the field after a
• 7:05
  Speaker 15: big stop. The whole offense there dapping them up. Offense scores,
• 7:08
  Speaker 15: the entire defense is there dapping us all up. Like,
• 7:10
  Speaker 15: we feed off each other's energy. Running the ball, stopping
• 7:12
  Speaker 15: the run. Just going to the bye, recover, rest, and
• 7:15
  Speaker 15: come back.
• 7:15
  Speaker 9: I think our quarterback today had some scars.
• 7:25
  Speaker 16: Hey, I don't got a whole lot to say, but
• 7:26
  Speaker 16: I'm just so freaking blessed to be a part of
• 7:29
  Speaker 16: this group. I felt you guys all freaking day, have
• 7:31
  Speaker 16: my back, and you know I got yours.
• 7:33
  Speaker 9: The rest of the freaking way.
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: Hey, this is.
• 7:34
  Speaker 9: Just the freaking beginning.
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: This group is so talented, but.
• 7:39
  Speaker 9: The secret sauce is the shit we just did out there.
• 7:42
  Speaker 9: The resilience, the will to finish no matter what it
• 7:45
  Speaker 9: looks like.
• 7:45
  Speaker 7: I freaking love you boys.
• 7:46
  Speaker 4: Let's do this.
• 7:51
  Speaker 16: The bottom line to this whole thing was that was
• 7:53
  Speaker 16: our best played game of the year. That was the
• 7:55
  Speaker 16: best game we played. Offense, defense, special teams. One play
• 7:59
  Speaker 16: after the next. One play after the next. Nobody worried
• 8:01
  Speaker 16: about what had happened before. Nobody cared about what the
• 8:03
  Speaker 16: next play was going to be after that. You locked
• 8:05
  Speaker 16: in for one play at a time. That's what great
• 8:06
  Speaker 16: teams do. You were a great team today. How about
• 8:08
  Speaker 16: a great player who totally disrupted their offense all day?
• 8:13
  Speaker 16: Number three, Abdul Farah.
• 8:16
  Speaker 17: How about another guy?
• 8:19
  Speaker 16: How about another guy that just works his a *
• 8:21
  Speaker 16: * off, fights his a * * off, had a
• 8:23
  Speaker 16: bunch of tackles today, including in overtime on the first
• 8:26
  Speaker 16: down play, Micah McFadden.
• 8:37
  Speaker 9: Like JJ said, this team's resilient. Defense, appreciate you guys
• 8:40
  Speaker 9: having my back all week long, man.
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: I did post a picture this morning of me and
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: the prime minister and urged Israelis to vote for him.
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: So much noise and so much nonsense about Bibi. People
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: like Eisencott and Naftali Bennett, losers, backstabbers. So tomorrow, big
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: election day, you can see that picture, Instagram, at Rosenberg.Sydney.
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: On Twitter, at SidRosenberg19. On Facebook, Sid Rosenberg. I compel
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: you to follow me today. But there's a reason why
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: I started with Oasis, and that is because... Not the Giants.
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: You heard all the Giants, the end of the Open today.
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: The head coach, John Harbaugh, talking about his running back, Scatterball.
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: What a big game he had yesterday. Talking about Abdul Carter.
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: You heard from a bunch of Giants, including the quarterback, J.J. McCarthy.
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: There may already be a quarterback controversy with the Giants.
• 9:46
  Speaker 13: J.J.
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: McCarthy has only really played five quarters, but he's looked terrific.
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: And don't forget Jackson Dart is still the starting quarterback. But, man, J.J.,
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: young guy out of Michigan, never really got the chance.
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: We'll be right back. The 49ers lost in Atlanta to
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: the Falcons. And the Chiefs got hammered in Seattle by
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: the Seahawks last night. So the only undefeated team up
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: in football is the 6-0 Minnesota Vikings. And I've watched
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: every one of their games, including their victory over the
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: Colts yesterday, what Daniel Jones has done. And Kyler Murray's terrible.
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: They are winning because of great defense. They won the
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: ball okay. They scored 16 points and won yesterday. Kyler
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: Murray's terrible. Carson Wentz is the backup, and J.J. was
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: buried as the third-string quarterback. Never made sense to me.
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: In fact, I had Tom Emmer in studio a month ago,
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: the majority whip out of the state of Minnesota, and
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: I said, why aren't they playing J.J. McCarthy? Now we
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: got him, and he looks great. So let's see. It's
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: a long season still. Giants still have 10 games to
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: go in a 17-game season. But if McCarthy continues to
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: play well, we could have ourselves a quarterback controversy in
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: New York at the end of the year between Dort
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: and McCarthy. But the reason why I played Oasis was,
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: while the Giants were doing beautiful things in winning a
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: road game as a double-digit underdog in Houston... Against the
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: Texans yesterday, Devin Singletary breaking a 30-yard touchdown run in overtime,
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: giving the Giants a 27-21 road win. The Jets were
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: embarrassing themselves again. And I don't know how Aaron Glenn
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: continues to work. You know, I know they very rarely
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: fire football coaches in the middle of the season. It's
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: only a 17-game season. It's not like baseball, 162 games,
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: or hockey, 82 games, or basketball, 82 games. But Aaron
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: Glenn is clueless again. Timeout issues late in the first half.
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: And he's the guy calling all the defensive plays. You
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: guys know that? Aaron Glenn calls his own defensive plays.
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: And they made Malik Willis look like Dan Marino. They
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: made Ollie Gordon look like Larry Zonka. You cannot, if
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: you're the Jets and you're one game under. 500, trying
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: to get one game under, I should say they were 2-4,
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: lose to a winless, winless Miami Dolphins football team at home.
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: You just can't do it. So the Jets, I believe,
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: forget about their 2-5 record, they've hit rock bottom. The
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: Jets have hit rock bottom, and I don't know how
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: any member of the Jet organization can make an honest
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: argument to keep Aaron Glenn on that sideline for the Jets. But,
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: talking about Oasis, and the reason why we played that song,
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: the very famous Gallagher brothers, they are Oasis, of course,
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: Liam and Noel, Noel Gallagher was at the Dolphin Jet
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: game yesterday. Well, how about that, Lewis?
• 13:14
  Speaker 7: Well, that's a good reason.
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: You didn't like the fact that he was referred to
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: as a legend.
• 13:19
  Speaker 7: I just thought it was funny, that's all.
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: Legendary Noel Gallagher at the Jet Dolphin game.
• 13:24
  Speaker 7: I guess he's a legend now, that's good.
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: I guess, I didn't even know.
• 13:27
  Speaker 7: Well, now you know.
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: I had no idea.
• 13:29
  Speaker 7: He's legendary.
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: Legendary. You also heard in the open from Jalen Brunson,
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: right before you heard the giant montage, you know, I
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: know Joe Meningo keeps coming on and saying, I don't
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: care what the Knicks do this year, and I keep
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: saying I do. You've heard that back and forth a bunch, right?
• 13:45
  Speaker 14: No?
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: Me and Joe Meningo? Of course.
• 13:47
  Speaker 4: I do care.
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: But they won it last year. That's it. It's over.
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: I don't want another Rangers situation. Rangers won the Cup
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: in 1994. Now they're going on 32 years without one.
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: I don't want that again. I'm not going to freak
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: out over three games, but they haven't won a game yet.
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: They've lost to Philly, Boston, and Orlando. In fact, New
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: York basketball, between the Knicks and the Nets, 0-6. That's right.
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: Knicks 0-3. Nets 0-3. Nets lost by 27 to Indiana yesterday. Now,
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: we know the Brooklyn Nets are a bad team anyway,
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: but I'm not going to be okay with the Knickerbockers
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: having just an okay season. They don't got to win
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: it again. Now, look, they played three games. Take it easy.
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: They got 79 regular season games to go.
• 14:34
  Speaker 4: I know. I know.
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: But I want to see some wins.
• 14:37
  Speaker 4: That's all.
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: I'm not still excited about beating the Spurs last year.
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: That's over. Fantastic. Way to go. It's a new season.
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: It's time to play well again.
• 14:48
  Speaker 7: If you don't play well this year, it's always going
• 14:50
  Speaker 7: to be looked at as, who cares about that season?
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: I'm not going to go that far.
• 14:54
  Speaker 7: Other teams will look at it. Now we're back.
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: It's not that I don't care, but it's another season now.
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: It's over. The only people you hear say, I don't care,
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: are Jet fans because they haven't won a Super Bowl,
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: been to a Super Bowl, since 1969. But if you're
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: a Yankee fan... And I know it's been 17 years
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: since you've won a World Series. I get it. You
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: want to get there. If you're a Giant fan, you've
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: been to five Super Bowls, your team is 4-1 in
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: Super Bowl play, you want to get there. So I'm
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: one of those guys. I'm a Knick fan who loved
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: every second. of last year's championship, but it's a new season.
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: I'm not living off of last year anymore. So let's go.
• 15:33
  Speaker 7: You've got to show you're a good team. Yeah.
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: Well, a great team. It's not supposed to be a
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: good team. It's supposed to be a great team.
• 15:40
  Speaker 7: You've got to go far.
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: My fear is, like Eli Manning, with the Giants, Eli
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: Manning was never a great quarterback, ever. His brother was.
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: But he had two spectacular runs. Most seasons, the Giants were...
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: mediocre under Eli Manning. A lot of seasons, the Giants
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: were bad under Eli Manning, but he had two miraculous runs.
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: I don't want this to be a miraculous run for
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: the Knicks last year, and that's it. So again, three games,
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: not going to get nuts, but let's go. Is that fair, Noam?
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: Let's go. Win one.
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: You know, it's almost impossible for an NBA team to
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: repeat that. Nobody's done it in more than a decade,
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: so I don't think the Knicks will either.
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: I don't have to repeat. Just start winning some regular
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: season games. I'm not fast-forwarding to June. Win some regular
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: season games. Let's go.
• 16:27
  Speaker 7: You've got to look good.
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: You've got to go deep again.
• 16:28
  Speaker 13: Come on.
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: Let's go.
• 16:29
  Speaker 7: You've got to get into the playoffs far again.
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: You've got to get far. You have to. Eastern Conference Finals.
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: You have to. They lose to Philadelphia or Boston. I
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: can live with that.
• 16:38
  Speaker 7: Or it's looked at as a miracle.
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: It looks like one great run. Which I'm not sure
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: is not the case.
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: I think it was.
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: Not good enough for me.
• 16:45
  Speaker 4: So do I.
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: But we'll see. All right. So that's the football and
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: the basketball. Then you heard a lot of stuff in
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: the open. You heard President Trump talking about Nicki Minaj's
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: ass in Detroit. And as Lou said, quote, that's going
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: to win the election. And then you heard this repulsive statement. Jew,
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: Mandy Patinkin, who's an actor. I used to really like him.
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: He was in that show. I used to love that show, Homeland.
• 17:13
  Speaker 7: He was good in it.
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: So good in that.
• 17:15
  Speaker 7: Very good.
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: Who was this? Was that Claire Danes?
• 17:17
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: She was spectacular.
• 17:19
  Speaker 7: She's excellent.
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: And the guy that turned out to be the turncoat,
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: we thought he was on our team, but he was
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: a Muslim. He was eventually killed in that show. He
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: was spectacular. You know, it goes back a couple years
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: and I forgot all the names and all the players,
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: but it really was a terrific show, Homeland. And Mandy
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: was great in that. But he has turned out to
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: be one of the biggest turncoat Jews with his stupid
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: David Letterman beard. I know Anthony Cumia was talking about
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: me last night because... I actually reposted Patinkin's video Friday.
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: This is Friday. Coming home on the train on Twitter,
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: at SidRosenberg19. And you know me. I rip Patinkin a
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: new asshole. Boy, I rip him. Oh, did I rip him.
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: And I cursed so many times that Kumi has said
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: last night, I'm dying to read Sid's tweet. But I
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: can't even do it. I can't even do it. Because
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: I just went nuts. You know, I don't like it.
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: When non-Jews do it, like Barack Obama embarrassed himself in
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: Michigan this weekend. Just embarrassed himself. But fine. But when
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: a Jew does it, when a Jew says we must
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: vote for El-Sayed because he gets it, because he's an
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: Arab or he's a Muslim, and people are talking bad
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: about him for that reason, and Jews understand that. Wait
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: a second. Muslim brotherhood ties? For a while there, Hassan Piker. Now,
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: those two guys seem to be battling a little bit
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: these days. But there's a lot there, Mandy. Are you
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: paying any attention to it? Or are you just happy
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: that there's somebody out there running who's DSA, who's a Democrat,
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: who's a psycho like you are, and you don't care
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: whether they really like the Jews or not? Which one
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: do you think it is, Noam?
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: I think it's number two.
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: Number two, right? Give me the whole rundown of the weekend.
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: I know President Trump was in Georgia. We're going to
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: play a cut later on from one of my favorite
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: country artists, Jason Aldean. He took the stage in Georgia
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: over the weekend. Then he was in Michigan. I mentioned
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: Nicki Minaj. He'll be in Mississippi today. Wednesday, he'll be
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: in Ohio out there stomping for Vivek Ramaswamy, running for
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: governor in that great state. Still controversy surrounding Vivek's TV commercial.
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: What else you got on President Trump's weekend?
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: Well, that was a big part of it was he
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: was in Detroit and there was these competing rallies. You
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: had the president there. for Mike Rogers, and then you
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: had Barack Obama. there for El-Sayed. So they had competing
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: rallies over the weekend in a race that seems awfully,
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: awfully close. The polls show one, two, three point difference.
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: So early voting, by the way, began in Michigan over
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: the weekend. So that's, of course, the timing there. Of
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: what took place.
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: Four states began early voting. New York right here. My
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: wife voted for Bruce Blakeman yesterday. New Jersey, Florida and Michigan.
• 20:13
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: Those are the four states.
• 20:14
  Speaker 18: Those are.
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: And there seems to be a little bit of excitement,
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: at least here in New York. I haven't seen the
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: early voting numbers from New Jersey, but they are double
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: what they were the first weekend of early voting in 2022.
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: But who is that good for? Is that good for Republicans?
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: Well, you would think in New York City, the guess
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: would be that's good for Democrats.
• 20:32
  Speaker 18: Right.
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: So I don't want to hear that. I want to
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: hear people stayed home all weekend long. What do you
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: mean they're running out to vote?
• 20:39
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: Who are they voting for? Are they voting for Caroline Schenkel?
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: Are they voting for Joe Hernandez? Are they voting for
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: Bruce Blakeman?
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: Oh, there's a possibility.
• 20:47
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: Well, I know my wife did, but I don't know
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: about you. Well, you live in New Jersey anyway, so.
• 20:53
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: You know what was weird? I saw a bunch of people.
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: A lot on Instagram this weekend saying they were excited
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: to vote. And they showed the voting card, I guess.
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: And they're Republicans. And they're voting for Blakeman, Schenkel, wherever
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: they were. But they were not voting for the Republican
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: candidate for Comptroller, who's a good buddy of mine. He's
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: going to be in studio next week, Joe Hernandez. They're
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: voting Republicans up and down yet for Comptroller. They were
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: voting for Tom DiNapoli. But they were saying, vote red,
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: vote red, vote red. But they were voting for DiNapoli
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: over Hernandez.
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: People love Thomas DiNapoli.
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: I like him. He's a nice guy. He's great to me.
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: He loves his show. I've been told time and time
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: again by Frank Marano that Thomas DiNapoli loves his show.
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: So he can't be a psychotic Democrat because I hate Democrats.
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: But if you were like a real liberal lunatic Democrat,
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: you would never listen to me. But according to other people,
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: DiNapoli loves this show. So I like him. But he's
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: not the Republican.
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: He's not.
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: You've got to vote for Joe Hernandez. Nothing against Tom personally.
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: He's one of the few Democrats I can say is
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: a nice guy. Not a bad guy. But you've got
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: to vote for Joe Hernandez. And it looks like a
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: lot of Republicans are not doing that.
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: Who are these people? Are they just on camera? They
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: were showing their back?
• 22:15
  Speaker 11: Yeah.
• 22:16
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: And they were showing the card on Instagram. And this
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: is who I voted for. And I voted all the
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: way Republican. Tom DiNapoli is not the Republican candidate. Let
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: me just remind people, OK?
• 22:26
  Speaker 18: Yeah.
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: What else you got?
• 22:27
  Speaker 18: No.
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: So that, you know, that was the big with the
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: president and the former president dueling rallies over the weekend.
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: And then, you know, you have this weird race out
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: of Alaska. Have you been following this Department of Justice?
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: So here's the if you haven't been following the story,
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: there are. There's two Dan Sullivans running on the Republican
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: side for Senate in Alaska, and they're running against this woman.
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: One of them is Dan J.
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: Sullivan.
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: He's a retired teacher who registered as a Republican. And
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: Republicans in Washington and Alaska said he did so deliberately
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: to confuse voters with the thought that this race is
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: so close that some people will accidentally vote for the
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: wrong Dan Sullivan, not the guy who is at the
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: top of the Republican ticket. So the Justice Department already
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: saying they're going to get involved in this and they're
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: going to say that, you know, he deliberately tried to
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: fool the voters. And so they're going to wait and
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: see how this election rolls out to see what happens.
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: If the real Dan Sullivan wins on Election Day, obviously
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: there'll be no suit.
• 23:30
  Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah.
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: But if the Democrat wins, this woman wins, they're going
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: to go in there and say, wait a minute, I
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: think people were fooled by this second Dan Sullivan who
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: was purposely put there to steal some votes from the
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: real one.
• 23:43
  Speaker 4: Hilarious. Yeah.
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: So we saw that over the weekend. We still have
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: those riots in France. They weren't as bad this weekend
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: as they were before. There were a couple thousand arrests.
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: Well, so it was Saturday, and yesterday morning I woke
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: up early to watch Aaron Rodgers and the Pittsburgh Steelers
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: take on the Saints. a game that Pittsburgh won, so
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: they moved to 5-2. They are tied atop the NFC North.
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: With Cleveland, the Browns are also 5-2. The Bengals won.
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: They moved to 4-2. They blew out the Ravens, who
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: fell behind in that division. So the Steelers got the win,
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: but I really put it on early to see if
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: there was unrest there because we talked all week long
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: about Roger Goodell maybe should cancel that game. But right
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: off the bat, they had Molly McGrath, kind of cute,
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: does the sideline reporting for the NFL Network. And she
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: made it very clear well before kickoff that there were
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: no issues with the protesters on Sunday morning in France.
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: And even the few that were out there protesting were
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: very far away, very far away from the stadium. So
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: Steelers and Saints played their game and there were no
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: issues in France yesterday.
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: No, in fact, it was sold out stadium.
• 24:54
  Speaker 13: Yes.
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: Lots of people come in to watch and see what
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: football is about. I'm sure a fair amount of them
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: were expats, but then others were people that were French.
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: Some of those people were definitely from Paris wearing Eiffel
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: Towers on their heads. They looked so silly, but they
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: were having a great time. And, you know, when you
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: watch those games, that was the first ever game in Paris.
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: They've already played 26 games in London. Before this year
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: is over, they'll play another game in Madrid, maybe Australia.
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: I forget, but regardless, you know, they've got people in
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: the stadium that root for all kinds of teams. So
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: even though it was the Steelers and the Saints, you
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: saw people in that stadium with eagle jerseys on and
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: cheap jerseys on. So these people were becoming accustomed to
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: American football, not the football they call soccer. But American football,
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: clearly they enjoy it. And you had a bunch of
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: people in that stadium rooting for a bunch of teams
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: across the National Football League. The actual game yesterday, that
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: was a partisan Pittsburgh Steelers crowd. Mostly Steelers fans, very
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: few New Orleans Saints fans, even though New Orleans is
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: basically a French city. I mean, look at all the
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: businesses from France. You get the French Quarter. There is
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: more French influence in New Orleans than any city across America. Any.
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: And yet, the crowd yesterday was a partisan Pittsburgh Steelers crowd.
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: Are we done with the international games in Miami?
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: No, no, no. We have at least four or five more.
• 26:20
  Speaker 4: Oh, really?
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: At least. On November 8th is the next one. And
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: I believe that's the Falcons. And I forget who it's
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: a good matchup. Falcons beat the 49ers yesterday, and that
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: one's going to be in Madrid, Spain. I believe that'll
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: be the second game from Spain ever. But there's a
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: couple of more. I think Brazil still has a game.
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: So at least three that I can think of to
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: be played in the NFL.
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: I kind of like the morning football.
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's fun, 930, you know. I always said I
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: could never live on the West Coast because they play
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: football at 10 o'clock in the morning. That giant Texan
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: game was 10 o'clock in the morning in Los Angeles.
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: I could never do that. Israel, even worse. But I
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: don't mind that one game at 9.30. I kind of
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: like that. I agree with you.
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: The Archdiocese here in New York over the weekend reaching
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: an $ 800 million settlement over sex abuse allegations. So this
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: money will settle the claims from 1,300 people who say
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: they were sexually abused by Roman Catholic lay leaders and
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: clergy members over the years. So what it works out to?
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: is most people get a lump sum payment, if this
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: is agreed to, by the victims of $ 250, 000. Now, some
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: who were potentially abused, suffered more abuse, may get a
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: little bit more money. But this is a record settlement
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: from any archdiocese across the country, $ 800 million. Now, the
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: deal won't go, won't be settled until all parties sign
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: off on the agreement. But the church has said they're
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: ready to go. Now, the victims have to sign off
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: on this, and that'll probably happen sometime next month.
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: Now, give me the latest on this governor's race as
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: Bruce Blankman and Kathy Hochul. Eight days. Don't forget, folks,
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: eight days a week from tomorrow, Election Day here in
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: the United States. Tomorrow, one day, the election in Israel, which,
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: of course, I do care about immensely. I want Bibi
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: Netanyahu to retain power. But eight days away here. And
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: here in New York, at least, while we're, at least
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: I am hoping for Mike Lawler to beat that psycho
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: Kate Conley. I'd love to see Caroline Schinkel beat Micah Lasher.
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: I want to see Nick LaLotta win. I want to
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: see Janine Driscoll win against Laura Gillen. I want to
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: see Michael Petri beat two-page Tom Swasey. So a lot
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: of races I'm paying attention to. But admittedly, the two
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: folks I want to see win the most are Lawler
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: in Rockland County and and Bruce Blakeman beating that wretched, lying, thieving,
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: disgusting governor, Kathy Hochul. What's the latest in that race?
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: Well, over the weekend, you had Mayor Mamdani hitting the
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: campaign trail with Governor Hochul. They were in Brooklyn, and
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: Mayor Mamdani was going after Bruce Blakeman.
• 29:02
  Speaker 12: There's a contest and a contrast between a leader with
• 29:07
  Speaker 12: a track record Track record?
• 29:08
  Speaker 7: And someone whose only ideas are to make a hard life.
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: Hold on, hold on. Track record of what? People are
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: leaving this state more than any other state in the country, Mamdani,
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: you effing moron. What track record? We're being taxed up
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: the ass. Crime is not getting any better. We pay
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: for energy. We got tons right here in New York
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: from Pennsylvania. What is this amazing track record? All I
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: hear Hochul talk about is Trump. That's all I hear.
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: Every commercial. Bruce Trump, man. That's very, very cute. I mean,
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: what moron put that together? So when Mamdani says track record,
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: is it the onus of one of these moron reporters
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: to say, can you list a couple of things that
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: have gone well? Why does New York lead the country
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: in outstate migration? If things are going so well here,
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: why do people leave this state more than any other state?
• 29:59
  Speaker 2: Is it the onus on some of these reporters to
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: come back and ask Mamdani what he means by track record?
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: It would be a good follow-up question, absolutely.
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: What has she done well, dickface? What do you do well, asshole?
• 30:12
  Speaker 4: Sorry.
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: It's only 6.37 in the morning. I'm already furious. The
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: next eight days could be really rough here. I'm just
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: telling you, folks. I'm just telling you, BB better win tomorrow,
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: and all my Republicans better win next Tuesday, or I'm
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: taking a vacation. I'm taking a week off. I'll see you.
• 30:30
  Speaker 7: That'll do it.
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: That's it. I can't do it. I can't do it anymore.
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: I can't deal with stupid people. I don't understand. What
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: is the matter with, what do you mean track record?
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: What has she done? Well, what is going well in
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: New York?
• 30:44
  Speaker 11: Hmm.
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: I'd be hard pressed to find something.
• 30:47
  Speaker 13: Yeah.
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: You're not going to find anything.
• 30:49
  Speaker 7: Oh, what's the track record, like you asked?
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: I guess the kids, the pre-K kids.
• 30:56
  Speaker 7: Oh, my God.
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: I keep hearing about that a hundred times a day.
• 30:58
  Speaker 7: It just goes back to de Blasio. That's all that
• 31:01
  Speaker 7: guy could ever say.
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: Oh, that's all they ever talk about. Pre-K, pre-K, pre-K, pre-K.
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: All right, great. What else?
• 31:05
  Speaker 7: We'll wait 24 years for them to grow up so
• 31:07
  Speaker 7: that they can help the world.
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: Right, exactly.
• 31:09
  Speaker 7: Come on.
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: That's all I hear about.
• 31:12
  Speaker 11: Pre-K.
• 31:12
  Speaker 7: It's pretty good. Okay, meanwhile, no one can afford anything.
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: Nothing. Nothing. All right, so did he talk, Blakeman? He did.
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: So Bruce Blakeman loves the fact that Mayor Mamdani is
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: campaigning with Governor Holcomb.
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: As he should.
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: And here's what he had to say about that.
• 31:27
  Speaker 19: I want to remind people that this un-American, anti-Semite, anti-Christian
• 31:33
  Speaker 19: mayor is running the Democratic Party, and Kathy Hochul is
• 31:37
  Speaker 19: nothing more than his puppet.
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: That's right. Well done, Brucie. Yeah, that was all she is.
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: Brucie was up in northern Westchester yesterday campaigning.
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: Oh, was he with Lawler?
• 31:48
  Speaker 20: Yep.
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he's with Lawler.
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, she's scared to death. I mean, it doesn't make
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: any sense. The governor has more power than the mayor,
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: except in New York, where the governor runs scared every day.
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: That's the lady you want making decisions for our state?
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: She's scared to death of the Muslim radical jihad mayor.
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: That's a lady who has no success. Nothing. What could
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: she point to that's going well? A budget here in
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: New York that when you add up Florida and Texas,
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: it's still less? Think about that for a second. The
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: budget in New York State is more than Florida and
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: Texas combined. And the budget in the city, this mayor
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: had to borrow $ 8 billion from the governor who was
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: all too willing to give it to him. That's your money.
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: That's your money, folks out there, you taxpayers. You're going
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: out there to vote, right? Your money, Hochul gave it
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: to Mamdani, so it looked like he met his budget.
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: It's all a big lie. Just like the horse and
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: carriage thing. That's a big lie. They don't care about
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: the horses. Maybe Julie Menon does, but she's a moron.
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: I'm being serious.
• 32:58
  Speaker 4: She's a moron.
• 32:59
  Speaker 2: Maybe Bob Holden does. He's not a moron, but he
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: should know better. This has two words written all over it.
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: Real estate. That's all they care about. Hochul, Mamdani, all
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: these people who want to wipe out a whole industry,
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: a whole industry. We're going to have John Samuelson on
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: this show today. I'm looking forward to that. You know why?
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: Because this guy was in studio last year. Things got...
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: A little heated and a little tense between me and
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: Samuelson because he was extolling the virtues of a candidate
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: named Zoran Mamdani. You guys remember that, right? I remember
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: it well, yeah. I'm like, what are you, nuts? Well,
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: how does your Mamdani look now, Mr. Samuelson? How does
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: he look now? He's wiping out your whole industry. Him
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: and Menon and all these profiles in courage lying. One
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: horse died.
• 33:49
  Speaker 11: One.
• 33:50
  Speaker 4: One.
• 33:51
  Speaker 2: One tourist died.
• 33:52
  Speaker 4: One.
• 33:53
  Speaker 2: People get wiped out, killed all the time in New
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: York from scooters, from bicycles. They don't say a word
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: about it. One tourist dies, they're going to wipe out
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: the whole industry. Nonsense. So Samuelson will be in here
• 34:06
  Speaker 2: about 7.40, and I'm still pissed about that, Norm.
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: Now, is he coming in person?
• 34:11
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 34:12
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 34:12
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: If he says anything nice about Mom Donnie again, I'm
• 34:16
  Speaker 2: going to rub his ass up right in the studio.
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: I think he learned his lesson.
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: Well, you would hope so.
• 34:20
  Speaker 11: Yeah.
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: I mean, he's wiping out the whole industry, the mayor.
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: He doesn't care if you're, he doesn't care. Like President
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: Trump is nice to him in the Oval Office. The
• 34:29
  Speaker 2: next day he'll call him a fascist. He doesn't care.
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: He has no loyalties to anybody but Allah. That's it.
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: What else you got, Noam?
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: Oh, we can talk about those elections that are going
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: to take place in Israel tomorrow. It's a day off.
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: They give the day off to people to vote. And
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: the biggest, stiffest competition that, Bibi Netanyahu had and maybe
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: has ever had will be from a former head of
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: the military. His name is Gadi Eisenkot.
• 34:55
  Speaker 2: He's a backstabber. He worked with Bibi. He was the
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: head of the military. And now he's basically blaming Bibi
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: for October the 7th. All these guys, Eisenkot, Naftali Bennett,
• 35:06
  Speaker 2: all they want is to be prime minister. They don't
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: care about Israel. They really don't. And they're all proven
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: to be disloyal backstabbers. So I know Eisenkot is conservative.
• 35:18
  Speaker 2: And right now he's the guy that people think will
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: beat Bibi. But all these people worked in and around Bibi.
• 35:25
  Speaker 2: Then they started to taste a little bit of power.
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: And now they want to take it from Bibi. That's
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: all that's going on here.
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: Well, this is the first election post-October 7th. So you'll
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: get a gauge of what Israeli voters are thinking. Eisenkot
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: has an interesting background in that he lost his son
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: in the Gaza war. And he lost two nephews in
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: the Gaza war.
• 35:45
  Speaker 2: Everybody did that. I'm not trying to make light of it.
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: I'm not minimizing it, but everybody did there. Let's be honest.
• 35:53
  Speaker 2: If you live in Israel, you lost somebody in these wars.
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: You have no doubt where you know somebody that has.
• 35:58
  Speaker 2: So if he's going to be extra angry at Bibi,
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: it's kind of like the hostage parents. They would gather
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: every night in Tel Aviv, and a lot of them
• 36:06
  Speaker 2: would have families gather right here in Times Square. And,
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: you know, I get it. If you are directly affected,
• 36:12
  Speaker 2: then you're even more angry. than somebody on the street,
• 36:16
  Speaker 2: but you can't blame Bibi for this, you know. Then
• 36:18
  Speaker 2: you may as well blame George Bush for 9-11. A
• 36:21
  Speaker 2: lot of people do. You know, I had this argument
• 36:24
  Speaker 2: at dinner with my own family. Wow, Bibi knew about
• 36:27
  Speaker 2: October 7th. Okay, calm down. Yes, there were warnings. Clearly,
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: they were acting it out in Gaza. But, you know,
• 36:36
  Speaker 2: to go from that to they're really going to do
• 36:39
  Speaker 2: this is a big jump. Just like America was warned.
• 36:43
  Speaker 2: about September the 11th. You know, I don't blame Beebe
• 36:47
  Speaker 2: for October 7th, but I understand that it's on his record,
• 36:52
  Speaker 2: and that's not good, and there's going to come a time,
• 36:55
  Speaker 2: maybe tomorrow, when that'll hurt him. And I don't blame
• 36:58
  Speaker 2: George Bush for 9-11. The question becomes, what do you
• 37:01
  Speaker 2: do afterwards? And Bush afterwards made one mistake after another.
• 37:06
  Speaker 2: including the whole Saddam Hussein Iraq situation. As for me,
• 37:11
  Speaker 2: for Bibi, he's done a tremendous job. He's wiped out
• 37:14
  Speaker 2: thousands and thousands of terrorists who want to kill Americans,
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: Americans first, and Israelis all over the world. And by
• 37:22
  Speaker 2: the way, while he's done all this, you do realize this, Noam,
• 37:25
  Speaker 2: I know your brother doesn't care, but the economy in
• 37:28
  Speaker 2: Israel is booming. One of the strongest... economies in the world,
• 37:33
  Speaker 2: not just the Middle East. So he's wiping out terrorists.
• 37:36
  Speaker 2: He's keeping the economy strong. I don't know what else
• 37:39
  Speaker 2: you want. And I know a lot of people hate him.
• 37:42
  Speaker 2: Your brother being one. I've got family members, too. I've
• 37:44
  Speaker 2: got friends who live there. They hate him.
• 37:46
  Speaker 4: I don't.
• 37:47
  Speaker 2: But you're right in that Eisencott is probably the guy
• 37:52
  Speaker 2: that can beat him tomorrow.
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, obviously, it's not direct elections. You vote for
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: the party and then you have to sort it out.
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: So we won't know who's prime minister for weeks, probably.
• 38:01
  Speaker 2: And then don't forget that the president of Israel, who
• 38:04
  Speaker 2: hates Bibi, I mean hates him, and I'm friends with
• 38:07
  Speaker 2: him too, Bougie Isaac Herzog, he's got a role in
• 38:11
  Speaker 2: forming the next government. You know that.
• 38:14
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: Well, he gets to decide who has the right to
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: form a coalition.
• 38:18
  Speaker 2: Correct. Based on the voting.
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: Correct. We'll see how it goes. We have no idea.
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: The polls are so close, like they are here for
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: some of those.
• 38:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I spoke to his senior policy advisor this morning.
• 38:28
  Speaker 2: At about 5 a.m. local time here, which is noon
• 38:31
  Speaker 2: in Israel, our good friend Dr. Ophir Falk, he's been
• 38:34
  Speaker 2: on this show twice, and he said, honestly, Sid, right now,
• 38:39
  Speaker 2: too close to call. That's what he said. Interesting, huh?
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll have to wait and see. That's why they
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: go to the polls and vote. If you want to
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: bring it back home, it was a rough weekend in
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: Central Park. A 39-year-old woman sexually assaulted at knife point
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: in the park. This was about 8.30 on Saturday night,
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: right near 66 and 5th Avenue. Still haven't caught up
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: with this creep who carried out the attack. They think
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: he's in his 30s. Don't know much more about him.
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: But this woman was just walking through the park when
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: she ended up face-to-face with this guy. She's taken to
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: the hospital, listed in stable condition.
• 39:16
  Speaker 4: Oh, boy.
• 39:16
  Speaker 21: Yeah.
• 39:17
  Speaker 2: You've got to worry. You know, this morning, for example,
• 39:19
  Speaker 2: my daughter Ava, she decided late last night she was
• 39:22
  Speaker 2: taking a test. Excuse me. She was going to go, oh,
• 39:26
  Speaker 2: my God, I have hormone digestion this morning. She was
• 39:29
  Speaker 2: going to go last night.
• 39:30
  Speaker 4: What?
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: What did you eat last night?
• 39:32
  Speaker 2: I had, what did I eat last night? Chicken cutlets.
• 39:35
  Speaker 2: I don't know why. I don't know why. So she
• 39:37
  Speaker 2: decided she was going to go back to school early
• 39:40
  Speaker 2: this morning. She said, Daddy, can I grab a lip
• 39:42
  Speaker 2: with you guys in the morning? I said, sure. So
• 39:44
  Speaker 2: when Jean picked up Lou a little earlier, thank you, Louis,
• 39:47
  Speaker 2: I appreciate that, me a little earlier. And much like
• 39:50
  Speaker 2: Friday when I threw Naomi in the front seat because
• 39:54
  Speaker 2: Gene dropped me and Lou here in Manhattan, then drove
• 39:56
  Speaker 2: my mother right back to White Lake, New York. He
• 40:00
  Speaker 2: dropped off me and Lou and had Ava in the
• 40:02
  Speaker 2: front seat. She was taking a bus from around Madison
• 40:06
  Speaker 2: Square Garden back to UPenn. I believe the bus is
• 40:09
  Speaker 2: on the corner of 31st and 8th. And Gene had
• 40:12
  Speaker 2: to go because he has church in the morning. So
• 40:15
  Speaker 2: we had to drop Ava off. So she was out
• 40:17
  Speaker 2: there for about 15 minutes by the garden, and I
• 40:21
  Speaker 2: was scared to death. And she texted me, Daddy, there's
• 40:24
  Speaker 2: a bunch of weirdos out here. drug dealers and some
• 40:27
  Speaker 2: really nasty looking people. How about that, Mom Donnie? What
• 40:30
  Speaker 2: a great job you're doing, you and Kathy Hochul. My daughter,
• 40:34
  Speaker 2: who's going to be 23 in April, just trying to
• 40:37
  Speaker 2: take the bus to go back to college in the
• 40:40
  Speaker 2: 15 minutes, 15 minutes at about 5 o'clock this morning,
• 40:44
  Speaker 2: she had to stand outside by MSG. She was scared
• 40:47
  Speaker 2: to death. Scared to death. And I was scared to death.
• 40:50
  Speaker 2: I was so happy when she texted me, Daddy, I'm
• 40:53
  Speaker 2: on the bus. That's your New York City. Way to go, guys.
• 40:57
  Speaker 2: Please point out all the great things that Kathy Hochul
• 41:01
  Speaker 2: has done. That unbelievable resume. Please point it out, Mom Donnie.
• 41:05
  Speaker 2: Will somebody, Melissa Russo or Monica, what is her last name?
• 41:10
  Speaker 2: Not Monica. What's her name? Marsha Kramer. Is that the
• 41:13
  Speaker 2: right name?
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: That's right.
• 41:14
  Speaker 2: Or Morgan McKay. Somebody, one of these lady reporters that
• 41:21
  Speaker 2: covers the mayor and the governor, will somebody ask these
• 41:24
  Speaker 2: people one tough question? Just one. Just one.
• 41:28
  Speaker 7: Maybe one of the female reporters could do what your
• 41:31
  Speaker 7: daughter just did.
• 41:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, stand outside for 20 minutes by MSG.
• 41:34
  Speaker 7: Go at this time.
• 41:35
  Speaker 2: At this time, at 5 o'clock in the morning.
• 41:37
  Speaker 7: Look like you're traveling to another state. Carry a bag.
• 41:40
  Speaker 2: And then come back and tell me what a great
• 41:41
  Speaker 2: job that Governor Hochul has done. And by the way,
• 41:46
  Speaker 2: the city looks a thousand times better than all those
• 41:50
  Speaker 2: upstate regions, which Hochul is also responsible for. You ever
• 41:54
  Speaker 2: walk in Binghamton at five o'clock in the morning?
• 41:56
  Speaker 4: I have.
• 41:57
  Speaker 2: The scariest thing about it, I'd rather walk in Gaza
• 42:00
  Speaker 2: with a shirt that says I'm a Jew. I swear
• 42:03
  Speaker 2: to God, I would rather walk in Gaza with a
• 42:05
  Speaker 2: shirt that says I'm a Jew than walk at 5
• 42:07
  Speaker 2: o'clock in the morning in Binghamton or Rochester or Utica
• 42:12
  Speaker 2: or Syracuse or Monticello or Rome, any one of these cities.
• 42:17
  Speaker 2: What do you mean the governor, she has a resume
• 42:21
  Speaker 2: to stand on? She's done nothing. She's done nothing. She's
• 42:25
  Speaker 2: hurt this state. Go ahead, Noel. I'm sorry.
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: I think I pretty much covered it all. But, you know,
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: I know that bus stop well that she was waiting
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: at because my oldest one used to get on that
• 42:35
  Speaker 1: same bus.
• 42:36
  Speaker 2: Gabriel, right?
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: You had to go to Philadelphia, and he'd say the
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: same thing. He said the most frightening thing was waiting
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: for the bus. And then I'd say, well, why don't
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: you just take it from the Port Authority? And he said, no,
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: it's worse there.
• 42:45
  Speaker 2: Oh, my gosh. Yeah, it's even worse.
• 42:47
  Speaker 4: Oh, no.
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: He said, at least outside I can run. You know,
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: Port Authority, you're stuck on some floor there.
• 42:52
  Speaker 4: Oh, no.
• 42:53
  Speaker 2: What a nightmare, Noel.
• 42:55
  Speaker 18: Oh, no.
• 42:56
  Speaker 2: The whole thing's a nightmare.
• 42:57
  Speaker 7: That's what I thought. That's what I thought we were
• 42:58
  Speaker 7: going to be going. And I went, well, either one
• 43:01
  Speaker 7: of these choices is not great at 4 in the morning.
• 43:05
  Speaker 2: Not for a young, pretty girl like my daughter.
• 43:07
  Speaker 4: Yeah, no. No, no, no.
• 43:09
  Speaker 2: Horrible. I got to hear about the great job that
• 43:11
  Speaker 2: Kathy Hochul's doing. Well, for that matter, the great job
• 43:14
  Speaker 2: that Mom Donnie's doing. What a great job.
• 43:16
  Speaker 7: She should just do it, too. Just go to a place, like,
• 43:19
  Speaker 7: just wear her. You know, regular clothes go.
• 43:21
  Speaker 4: Yeah. Right.
• 43:22
  Speaker 2: Without her Secret Service detail. With all, without all those
• 43:25
  Speaker 2: guys with guns and all those guys. Although I did
• 43:28
  Speaker 2: see her in John's coffee shop at 7.30 in the
• 43:31
  Speaker 2: morning on a Saturday morning in New York City.
• 43:34
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 43:34
  Speaker 2: A couple of weeks ago.
• 43:35
  Speaker 7: That's not.
• 43:36
  Speaker 2: Her and a doopy husband. But otherwise, she has a
• 43:40
  Speaker 2: lot of protection. A lot. And she doesn't have an
• 43:43
  Speaker 2: ass like Nicki Minaj, I'll tell you that. A great ass.
• 43:47
  Speaker 22: All right.
• 43:48
  Speaker 2: I've got to play that again. I don't even know.
• 43:50
  Speaker 2: I don't even know why he did it. This is
• 43:52
  Speaker 2: why you've got to love the guy, though. I mean,
• 43:55
  Speaker 2: all of a sudden, he's in Michigan. He's there campaigning
• 43:59
  Speaker 2: for Mike Rogers, maybe the most important election coming up
• 44:02
  Speaker 2: in eight days to beat Abdul El-Sayed, who's got ties
• 44:06
  Speaker 2: to the Muslim Brotherhood, hates the Jews, but don't worry,
• 44:09
  Speaker 2: Mandy Patinkin loves him. And out of nowhere, President Trump
• 44:13
  Speaker 2: starts talking about Nicki Minaj's ass. This is cut number three.
• 44:19
  Speaker 9: I looked at his ass, and I've never done that
• 44:21
  Speaker 9: with a man before.
• 44:23
  Speaker 2: He's talking about a guy. Off the record, women, yes, men, no, okay?
• 44:27
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 44:29
  Speaker 12: By the way, I looked at one hell of a
• 44:30
  Speaker 12: beautiful ass before, Nicki Minaj.
• 44:38
  Speaker 2: That's hard to miss. That stand-up. Look at that. That's
• 44:44
  Speaker 2: hard to miss.
• 44:45
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's an ass.
• 44:48
  Speaker 2: Give me that ass. Thank you, but that's enough of that.
• 44:53
  Speaker 2: He's the greatest president of all time. I'm sorry. I mean,
• 44:55
  Speaker 2: could you imagine Joe Biden doing that? Honestly, remember when
• 44:59
  Speaker 2: Joe Biden used to talk to dead people? He would
• 45:01
  Speaker 2: be speaking to some audience and he'd bring up names
• 45:05
  Speaker 2: of dead people. Oh, good to see Janet here today. No, Mr. President,
• 45:09
  Speaker 2: she died six years ago. Remember that?
• 45:11
  Speaker 7: Stand up, Johnny.
• 45:12
  Speaker 23: Stand up.
• 45:13
  Speaker 2: Stand up.
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: Oh, God love him.
• 45:15
  Speaker 2: He's a wonderful teacher.
• 45:17
  Speaker 7: He can't stand up.
• 45:18
  Speaker 2: He's paralyzed, idiot.
• 45:19
  Speaker 4: He's paralyzed.
• 45:20
  Speaker 2: He's in a wheelchair, you moron.
• 45:22
  Speaker 7: That thing with the wheels on the bottom?
• 45:24
  Speaker 2: That's why he can't get up. Aye, aye, aye. And
• 45:27
  Speaker 2: Barack Obama, my God, what a just a dreadful person.
• 45:31
  Speaker 2: The worst president ever. The worst. The worst. Race riots everywhere.
• 45:36
  Speaker 2: You got that Ferguson, Missouri race riot. with Michael Brown,
• 45:41
  Speaker 2: had the Maryland race riot with, what was that person's
• 45:44
  Speaker 2: name again? I should know this. It'll come to me. Yeah,
• 45:48
  Speaker 2: the guy on Staten Island, he ended up dead. The
• 45:51
  Speaker 2: guy was selling cigarettes illegally, Eric Garner, right? I think
• 45:55
  Speaker 2: it was Freddie Gray was the person in Maryland. Under
• 45:59
  Speaker 2: a black president, BLM started. That's how great Barack Obama
• 46:03
  Speaker 2: was for race relations. We were just dead economically, the
• 46:07
  Speaker 2: slowest moving economy ever. He got bailed out two or
• 46:11
  Speaker 2: three times just to keep our car dealerships, dealerships, our
• 46:15
  Speaker 2: car manufacturers open in Michigan, had to get bailed out
• 46:19
  Speaker 2: a couple of times and was the slowest-moving economy ever,
• 46:23
  Speaker 2: signed a ridiculous Iran deal. He says, I didn't fire
• 46:26
  Speaker 2: any missiles, and we kept them. No, you didn't, because
• 46:29
  Speaker 2: everybody knows, including my guest on Friday, Ben Weenthal, that
• 46:33
  Speaker 2: about 100 times in less than the first month, Iran
• 46:36
  Speaker 2: did not comply with that stupid deal that you made
• 46:39
  Speaker 2: with John Kerry. So you're a liar on top of
• 46:42
  Speaker 2: all that. pallets of cash to the Palestinians at 4
• 46:46
  Speaker 2: o'clock in the morning. You know, the very last thing
• 46:48
  Speaker 2: that Barack Obama did as president, literally at about 4
• 46:52
  Speaker 2: o'clock in the morning, was send pallets of cash to
• 46:56
  Speaker 2: the Palestinians, which went right to Hamas. Did you know that, Noam?
• 46:59
  Speaker 1: It worked out well.
• 47:00
  Speaker 2: The last thing he did. Yeah, it worked out real well, right?
• 47:03
  Speaker 2: And this clueless black Jesus clown is up on stage,
• 47:08
  Speaker 2: and to these people, he really is like God. He
• 47:12
  Speaker 2: was an awful president, awful. He's a liar, and they
• 47:16
  Speaker 2: love him. They just, well, I guess I love Trump,
• 47:19
  Speaker 2: so they say this thing about my guy, right?
• 47:22
  Speaker 4: I guess.
• 47:23
  Speaker 1: I think they do, yeah.
• 47:25
  Speaker 2: Anyway, in the Rosenberg household, this is a huge week.
• 47:28
  Speaker 2: Last week was a big week for me because, as
• 47:31
  Speaker 2: you all know, of course, I was inducted last Thursday
• 47:35
  Speaker 2: into the New York State Broadcasting Hall of Fame, which
• 47:38
  Speaker 2: was a huge deal. And all my guys were there,
• 47:42
  Speaker 2: Lou and Justin and Norm. It was spectacular. Bill Ritter, Rosanna, Scotty,
• 47:46
  Speaker 2: you know the whole thing. Well, this week, the spotlight
• 47:50
  Speaker 2: is not on me, but my beautiful wife, Danielle, because
• 47:54
  Speaker 2: coming up this Sunday, I say this all the time,
• 47:59
  Speaker 2: it is the greatest one-day event of the year in
• 48:02
  Speaker 2: New York, and nothing comes close. Listen to me carefully.
• 48:06
  Speaker 2: Nothing comes close. Not the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. Not
• 48:11
  Speaker 2: any sporting event. The New York City Marathon coming up
• 48:15
  Speaker 2: this Sunday. No one knows who's a Republican. No one
• 48:19
  Speaker 2: knows who's a Democrat. Not even me. No one knows
• 48:22
  Speaker 2: who's independent. We go out there and we root for
• 48:25
  Speaker 2: these people to finish this 26-plus mile race. I have cried,
• 48:31
  Speaker 2: literally cried, sitting at the finish line watching the emotion
• 48:36
  Speaker 2: of from some of these people when they finish the race.
• 48:39
  Speaker 2: So this Sunday, my beautiful wife, Danielle, will run the
• 48:42
  Speaker 2: marathon for the seventh time. Seven New York City marathons.
• 48:48
  Speaker 2: It'll be her 41st marathon overall.
• 48:52
  Speaker 11: 41st.
• 48:52
  Speaker 2: And she has won of less than 1%, less than
• 48:57
  Speaker 2: 1% of New York City marathon runners to have gotten
• 49:01
  Speaker 2: the Abbott Trophy. And what that is, is much like
• 49:04
  Speaker 2: they have majors in tennis and majors in golf, the
• 49:08
  Speaker 2: marathon has majors. Three domestic races, three international races. The
• 49:14
  Speaker 2: three domestic races are Boston, Chicago, and New York. The
• 49:19
  Speaker 2: international races are Tokyo, Berlin, and London. And my wife
• 49:24
  Speaker 2: has completed all six. And she's done others. We've been
• 49:29
  Speaker 2: to France together for the marathon. We've been to Big Sur,
• 49:32
  Speaker 2: California twice for the marathon. two Miami marathons. The list
• 49:36
  Speaker 2: goes on and on. But she's done the six majors,
• 49:40
  Speaker 2: and this Sunday will be number seven in New York.
• 49:43
  Speaker 2: So if you're up early right now listening to me
• 49:45
  Speaker 2: and training for this Sunday, I know most of you
• 49:48
  Speaker 2: are done with the big runs, the 18-mile runs, the
• 49:52
  Speaker 2: 22-mile runs. This is kind of a taper week. If
• 49:54
  Speaker 2: you do anything at all, I want to wish you all,
• 49:57
  Speaker 2: and I'll do this every day this week, every day,
• 49:59
  Speaker 2: the best of luck. on what is a magnificent day
• 50:02
  Speaker 2: and an amazing achievement, Marathon Sunday Gnome, coming up this
• 50:06
  Speaker 2: Sunday in New York City.
• 50:08
  Speaker 1: You know, some of those races are not easy to
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: qualify for. I mean, there's a whole bunch.
• 50:13
  Speaker 2: Well, you've got to win. I mean, not win. Sometimes
• 50:16
  Speaker 2: if you complete it the year before, like Boston, you know,
• 50:19
  Speaker 2: if you do it the year before, you're automatically in.
• 50:21
  Speaker 2: I think New York and Chicago are the same. But
• 50:23
  Speaker 2: I don't know all the rules. I really don't. I
• 50:25
  Speaker 2: just know that she gets out there and, three hours
• 50:28
  Speaker 2: of the morning and puts out 18, 22 and goes
• 50:31
  Speaker 2: out like a champ and does the race. And Steve Sharippa,
• 50:34
  Speaker 2: the great actor, Blue Bloods and Sopranos, his wife does
• 50:38
  Speaker 2: it every year. I usually bump into Steve at the race.
• 50:40
  Speaker 2: Tiki Barber, WFAN host, former great New York Giant running back,
• 50:45
  Speaker 2: he does it every year. There's some big names who
• 50:47
  Speaker 2: do it every year, but none bigger than Danielle Rosenberg,
• 50:51
  Speaker 2: who was at it again. And we're on this Sunday.
• 50:54
  Speaker 2: I'll get you the bid number. Sometime before Friday.
• 50:57
  Speaker 1: It's going to be a little warm, by the way.
• 50:59
  Speaker 2: It is going to be a little warm.
• 51:00
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 51:00
  Speaker 2: Close to 70. Too hot.
• 51:02
  Speaker 21: Yep.
• 51:03
  Speaker 2: Ideally, they want it like in the 50s. You know,
• 51:05
  Speaker 2: in the morning, it'll be in the high 50s. But
• 51:07
  Speaker 2: to your point, yes, a little warm. Big guest list today,
• 51:10
  Speaker 2: Arthur Aydala, the amazing attorney. He was with us on
• 51:14
  Speaker 2: Thursday at the Hall of Fame luncheon.
• 51:16
  Speaker 1: Sid and Friends.
• 51:18
  Speaker 3: In the Morning on the Red Apple Podcast Network.
• 51:22
  Speaker 2: Co-hosting Boxing Friends with Brian Kilmeade and Lawrence Jones, second
• 51:26
  Speaker 2: straight day. I'm like, what's that about? That's usually Ainsley
• 51:29
  Speaker 2: Earhart's spot, but then it occurred to me, because I
• 51:32
  Speaker 2: did speak to Sean Hannity yesterday, sent him a nice text,
• 51:35
  Speaker 2: he got right back to me, that Sean Hannity married
• 51:40
  Speaker 2: Ainsley Earhart at their local church in West Palm Beach
• 51:44
  Speaker 2: over the weekend. So Ainsley Earhart is officially Ainsley Earhart Hannity.
• 51:51
  Speaker 2: So congratulations to my dear friend Sean Hannity and his
• 51:55
  Speaker 2: new wife, Ainsley Earhart, on their nuptials. So that's why
• 51:59
  Speaker 2: you're not seeing Ainsley on Fox News this morning because
• 52:02
  Speaker 2: she just got married. And Wednesday night, I do want
• 52:05
  Speaker 2: to get this out there. I'm going to be hosting
• 52:08
  Speaker 2: an event. Tom Kniff will be there at the Bell
• 52:11
  Speaker 2: Harbor Yacht Club where Louis had his bar mitzvah. Isn't
• 52:15
  Speaker 2: that right, Louis?
• 52:15
  Speaker 7: It was quite an evening, too.
• 52:17
  Speaker 2: Yes, it was. It's a nice place. You ever go there? Seriously,
• 52:19
  Speaker 2: you ever go there?
• 52:20
  Speaker 7: Yeah, a couple of times.
• 52:20
  Speaker 2: Oh, it's great. You're going to come Wednesday, I meant
• 52:22
  Speaker 2: to tell you. Okay.
• 52:23
  Speaker 4: All right. Let's go.
• 52:24
  Speaker 2: A quick six to eight. You'll be out early.
• 52:25
  Speaker 7: You got my weekend all going.
• 52:27
  Speaker 2: The whole week. Tomorrow night, you're with all of us
• 52:29
  Speaker 2: at Rosanna Scotto's Fresco Restaurant to celebrate Keith Cantor. It's
• 52:33
  Speaker 2: his birthday. That's a big one tomorrow night. Wednesday night,
• 52:36
  Speaker 2: Bell Harbor Yacht Club. Big event for Tom Sullivan. Tom Sullivan.
• 52:41
  Speaker 2: I love him. I love the whole family. Mike Brennan
• 52:43
  Speaker 2: in car and Russ listening as he does every morning
• 52:46
  Speaker 2: right now in Virginia. And you got Brian and Danny
• 52:49
  Speaker 2: and I don't know, there's a million of them. The
• 52:51
  Speaker 2: seven Sullivan brothers.
• 52:52
  Speaker 7: They're all over.
• 52:53
  Speaker 2: Everywhere. But Tom is running for assembly again. And I'm
• 52:57
  Speaker 2: watching football all day yesterday. And I see all these
• 52:59
  Speaker 2: commercials for the guy who's running against him. Guy wears
• 53:03
  Speaker 2: a yarmulke. I guess he's Jewish. His name is Pesach Osina.
• 53:09
  Speaker 2: I don't know. So this lady who cheated to beat
• 53:13
  Speaker 2: Tom Sullivan. That's right, she cheated. Stacey Pepper Amato. Because
• 53:18
  Speaker 2: Tom had her beat, you know. He went to bed.
• 53:20
  Speaker 2: He was winning. And like Democrats do, they find out
• 53:24
  Speaker 2: a week later they actually found votes. They found votes.
• 53:27
  Speaker 2: I don't know. So she's doing the commercials now for Osina,
• 53:31
  Speaker 2: this cheater, Stacey Amato. At the end of the commercial,
• 53:35
  Speaker 2: she goes, and don't get Pesach'd. And she, like, throws
• 53:39
  Speaker 2: a punch at the screen. She turns Pesach Osina into
• 53:42
  Speaker 2: a verb. And I have no idea who this guy is. Again,
• 53:45
  Speaker 2: he was a yarmulke, so God bless him. But Tom Sullivan,
• 53:49
  Speaker 2: let me remind everybody one more time, he did stuff
• 53:52
  Speaker 2: that Pesach didn't do. I don't think Pesach Osina ever
• 53:56
  Speaker 2: served this country in Kuwait. I don't think Pesach Osina
• 54:01
  Speaker 2: ever served this country in Iraq. I don't think Pesach
• 54:05
  Speaker 2: Osina ever served this country in Afghanistan. Tom Sullivan did
• 54:10
  Speaker 2: all three. I don't think that Pesach Osina was working
• 54:14
  Speaker 2: in the World Trade Center, and when the planes hit,
• 54:18
  Speaker 2: stayed inside, stayed inside to actually throw people over his shoulder.
• 54:24
  Speaker 2: He saved lives that day. I don't think Pesach Osina
• 54:27
  Speaker 2: did that. So let's stop with the nonsense. Nobody cares
• 54:32
  Speaker 2: what Stacey Pfeffer Amato thinks. Pesach may be a very
• 54:35
  Speaker 2: nice Jewish man, I don't know, but he has no
• 54:38
  Speaker 2: right even running against Tom Sullivan, let alone winning. So
• 54:43
  Speaker 2: come out Wednesday night to the Bell Harbor Yacht Club.
• 54:45
  Speaker 2: You'll see me. You'll see Lou. You'll see Tom Kniff,
• 54:49
  Speaker 2: all the Sullivans, and vote for a great American, great
• 54:53
  Speaker 2: American next Tuesday, Tom Sullivan, not some no-name Jewish guy
• 54:58
  Speaker 2: who Stacey Amato is out there humping for. Take a
• 55:01
  Speaker 2: quick break. When we get back, one of the great
• 55:03
  Speaker 2: defense attorneys in the world today, he's right there with
• 55:06
  Speaker 2: Joe Takapina. He's my dear, dear friend. He was in
• 55:08
  Speaker 2: attendance last Thursday.
• 55:11
  Speaker 3: Sid and Friends in the Morning on the Red Apple
• 55:14
  Speaker 3: Podcast Network.
• 55:16
  Speaker 2: John Samuelson, who is the president of the Transport Workers Union.
• 55:20
  Speaker 2: I'm curious about this horse and carriage nonsense. The governor
• 55:25
  Speaker 2: and the mayor, they're all lying to you. The speaker
• 55:28
  Speaker 2: of the city council, they're all lying to you. It's
• 55:29
  Speaker 2: not about the horses. Horses are fine. One died.
• 55:32
  Speaker 11: One.
• 55:33
  Speaker 2: Not about the tourists being in danger. One died. One
• 55:36
  Speaker 2: big lie. We'll talk to John Samuelson coming up. But
• 55:39
  Speaker 2: I do want to talk to this guy. You know,
• 55:40
  Speaker 2: there was one table in particular last Thursday at the
• 55:44
  Speaker 2: New York State Broadcasters Hall of Fame luncheon. It was
• 55:47
  Speaker 2: an all-star table. Pete Morgan, his beautiful wife Maureen, Bo Dietl,
• 55:51
  Speaker 2: his beautiful wife Margot, Corey Zelnick, Rich Lowry, Joseph Takapina,
• 55:56
  Speaker 2: and this guy, the amazing attorney, dear friend of mine
• 56:00
  Speaker 2: for a million years, the great Arthur Aydala. Marty, good morning, buddy.
• 56:03
  Speaker 2: How are you?
• 56:04
  Speaker 4: So when we're sitting at that table, right, and I
• 56:07
  Speaker 4: don't know exactly at what point it was. It was
• 56:11
  Speaker 4: either when Trump was on the screen or when you
• 56:13
  Speaker 4: were speaking. I look over to Takapina, who's sitting right
• 56:16
  Speaker 4: next to me.
• 56:17
  Speaker 22: And those of you who don't know, the headmaster, which
• 56:21
  Speaker 22: is what you called him back then, of Poly Prep
• 56:24
  Speaker 22: for many, many years was a guy named Bill Williams.
• 56:28
  Speaker 22: And I just look at Takapina. I go with a
• 56:32
  Speaker 22: gun to his head. Bill Williams would have never picked
• 56:36
  Speaker 22: Sid Rosenberg, Joe Tacopina.
• 56:38
  Speaker 4: And Arthur A. Dollar to be the three stars coming
• 56:42
  Speaker 4: out of poly prep class of 84 and 85. And
• 56:45
  Speaker 4: Joe squeezed my leg. You know, he's like a gorilla, Joe.
• 56:49
  Speaker 4: He squeezed my leg. He goes, there's no way, man.
• 56:52
  Speaker 4: Three of us, man. There's no way. It was a
• 56:57
  Speaker 4: wonderful afternoon.
• 56:57
  Speaker 24: And Sid, there is a little bit of a difference
• 57:00
  Speaker 24: between you and I. And I've been thinking, like, how
• 57:03
  Speaker 24: do I say this without insulting you? You're a lot
• 57:06
  Speaker 24: more gratuitous with the compliments and.
• 57:09
  Speaker 4: With I love you and you're the greatest friend in
• 57:13
  Speaker 4: the whole world. That's the nicest way I could put it.
• 57:15
  Speaker 4: The other way I could put it is you're much
• 57:17
  Speaker 4: more full of crap than I am.
• 57:19
  Speaker 24: But I say this with sincerity.
• 57:23
  Speaker 4: I'm not just throwing bouquets. Besides the fact, obviously, you
• 57:27
  Speaker 4: deserve that honor. And to be put in there next
• 57:29
  Speaker 4: to Rosanna Scotto.
• 57:31
  Speaker 2: I mean, no offense.
• 57:33
  Speaker 24: I mean, she's been at the top of.
• 57:34
  Speaker 4: The game for 30 freaking years. I mean, she's been,
• 57:38
  Speaker 4: you know, the star of New York forever.
• 57:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but she does TV. TV's easy. I love Rosanna.
• 57:42
  Speaker 2: She's terrific. But the truth is, TV, you sit there,
• 57:44
  Speaker 2: they run everything in front of you. I've done a
• 57:46
  Speaker 2: lot of TV, so have you. It's a lot more
• 57:48
  Speaker 2: difficult to do the show that I do four hours
• 57:50
  Speaker 2: a day than Rosanna does. I'm sorry.
• 57:52
  Speaker 4: Well, it was obviously I know her a long time
• 57:55
  Speaker 4: from the whole Bay Ridge Poly Prep.
• 57:58
  Speaker 24: So with the two of you to go in there
• 58:01
  Speaker 24: and the thing is this, and this is the truth
• 58:03
  Speaker 24: for everyone who's listening, because I'm not just saying this
• 58:06
  Speaker 24: because I'm on his.
• 58:07
  Speaker 4: Show or I'm his buddy. He hit every note. He
• 58:11
  Speaker 4: hit every chord.
• 58:12
  Speaker 24: In other words, who he thanked, who he called out.
• 58:17
  Speaker 24: There was a bunch of students there.
• 58:18
  Speaker 4: He addressed it. He goes, I know you all hate
• 58:22
  Speaker 4: me now because you hate Donald Trump. But if you
• 58:24
  Speaker 4: met him, he's really a nice guy. You really like
• 58:26
  Speaker 4: him and cracked up the whole room.
• 58:28
  Speaker 24: I mean, you know, and obviously your mother, your mother
• 58:31
  Speaker 24: standing up, pumping her fist in the air.
• 58:34
  Speaker 4: Was magical. I mean, come on, Sid. I know how
• 58:36
  Speaker 4: close you are with your dad, and we'll talk about
• 58:39
  Speaker 4: it in a second, but to have your mom there
• 58:41
  Speaker 4: standing up, pumping her fists in the air the way
• 58:44
  Speaker 4: I was last night when the Giants won. I mean,
• 58:48
  Speaker 4: it was absolutely... It really was. I couldn't wait to
• 58:51
  Speaker 4: run up to you and to tell you, like, I mean, look, Sid, we...
• 58:55
  Speaker 4: amount present company included. I mean, you know, we're both
• 58:58
  Speaker 4: like missing a chromosome or like, you know, we're not
• 59:00
  Speaker 4: the brightest guys in the planet, but you know, I mean, you,
• 59:03
  Speaker 4: you really, you nailed it. And obviously having Trump and
• 59:07
  Speaker 4: Bibi both give you. And by the way, folks, Trump
• 59:10
  Speaker 4: didn't come on the screen and say, congratulations, Sid Rosenberg.
• 59:15
  Speaker 4: I'm getting into the Hall of Fame. God bless.
• 59:17
  Speaker 24: He was on there for like two minutes.
• 59:21
  Speaker 2: It was 100 seconds. He called me his friend three times.
• 59:24
  Speaker 2: He was over the top. I mean, B.B. gave me
• 59:27
  Speaker 2: about 80 seconds.
• 59:28
  Speaker 4: He's not a BS. He's not a guy who's full
• 59:30
  Speaker 4: of crap. No, no.
• 59:33
  Speaker 24: I mean, he was great.
• 59:34
  Speaker 4: B.B. was very charismatic.
• 59:35
  Speaker 2: It was.
• 59:36
  Speaker 4: I was very pleasantly surprised by it. And I had
• 59:42
  Speaker 4: no idea how they were.
• 59:43
  Speaker 24: Going to get the whole thing done in two hours,
• 59:45
  Speaker 24: considering how many people were getting inducted.
• 59:48
  Speaker 4: But they did it. I mean, your buddies from Rochester
• 59:50
  Speaker 4: and Scarsdale or Schenectady.
• 59:52
  Speaker 2: Those guys were great. Binghamton and Glens Falls. Those guys
• 59:55
  Speaker 2: were great.
• 59:56
  Speaker 4: They bagged it out.
• 59:57
  Speaker 2: They were great. I mean, you had three big stars there.
• 59:59
  Speaker 2: You had me, the aforementioned Rosanna Scotto. You had Bill Ritter.
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 2: Big Star Channel 7. And then four guys who no
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 2: one ever heard of. And those guys were terrific, especially
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 2: the guy Dan Miner. He was very good.
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 4: Yeah. And they had their own fan club. They're yelling
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 4: and screaming for them. Obviously, Bill Ritter was, you know...
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 4: Everyone was sitting on the edge of their seat, basically,
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 4: if we're going to be honest. Like, is he going
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 4: to screw up? Is he going to forget something? But
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 4: he wasn't. He was great.
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 2: He was great, yeah.
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 4: Look, all three of you made us cry, and that
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 4: is not an exaggeration.
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 2: It was fantastic. But even Taco Pina... Yeah.
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 4: Rose had a broke down from the beginning and then,
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 4: you know, you're like, you're like a half a wimp.
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 4: You know, you're like, you're a big tough guy. You
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 4: do your pushups. Yeah.
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 24: I mean, you cry at the drop of a hat.
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 2: I do.
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 24: You know, it's just like, I want to thank my wife.
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 4: And you're crying. Well, two weeks ago, you were calling me,
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 4: calling the world Kaiser name. No, that's not true. I
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 4: take that for a bet. But your son was there.
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 4: Your beautiful daughter was there. It was really, God bless you.
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 4: It's well-deserved. And I love the fact that you had
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 4: John Katsimatidis, who we know and love, telling you what
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 4: a great.
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 24: Broadcast you are. So that next, whatever it is, you
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 24: got to redo your contract. You can just bring that
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 24: tape in and play.
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 4: It for him.
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 2: That's a good idea. I think I'll do that. Now
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 2: we're close. We're very, very close. I expect there's going
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 2: to be some very good news coming out of WABC very,
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 2: very soon. I do. Well, thank you for all that, Artie.
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 2: It was great to have you there on Thursday. It
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 2: really was. And you weren't terrific and you weren't texting me.
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 2: Throughout the whole thing, some very, very nice things. And
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 2: we love you. The Rosenberg family loves you.
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 24: Listen, when you're close.
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 4: To someone and you truly care about them and their
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 4: family and you see them.
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 24: Succeed, you feel like you succeed.
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 4: I mean, look. I'll take 0.00001% of credit for your success. Right.
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 24: I mean, I was in studio.
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 4: With you and Bernie when, you know, when I was
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 4: still on the air and then, you know, all these
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 4: years thereafter, you know, I felt a tiny piece of that,
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 4: that victory lap that you were taking. It was, it
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 4: was really, it was wonderful. Um, I would like to
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 4: vent about something kind of legal or not legal because I, I,
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 4: Totally agree with you. And I've been railing about it
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 4: on my little show.
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 24: About these horses. Everyone is full of crap.
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 4: I couldn't agree with you. It got nothing to do
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 4: with the horse. Oh, the horses are being mistreated. That's
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 4: such crap.
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 24: Our homeless people are being mistreated. The poor people who
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 24: are mental illness on the street, and they're taking a crap.
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 4: In a gutter, and nobody comes and helps them and says, hey, man,
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 4: you're in bad shape. I'm going to give you a
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 4: shot in the arm to calm you down, and then
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 4: we're going to get you to a hospital.
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 24: Those people are being mistreated. Some of the kids in
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 24: our school are being mistreated. But those frigging horses.
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 4: They're a loss. Let me ask him.
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 24: I don't know the answer to this, but I don't
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 24: think there's.
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 4: Any laws on the books.
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 24: That says if someone who works for city government sees
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 24: someone on the streets.
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 4: And it's below 20 degrees, they have to pick them
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 4: up and bring them inside. Or if it's above 90 degrees,
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 4: they have to pick them up and bring them inside.
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 24: Those laws are on the books for the horses. If
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 24: it's too cold, the horses can't work. If they're too hot,
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 24: the horses can't work.
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 4: I wanted to see as John Samuelson, if that's the rule.
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 24: For his bus drivers or his train operators or anyone
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 24: else who works for him, that's the rule for the horse.
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 4: Those are the rules for the horses. Yeah. I, I told.
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 24: Someone on the, Oh, Tom Allen, who he's a great guy.
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 4: He's the publisher of a city and state magazine. And,
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 4: you know, he's all for the horse bed. I said,
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 4: if those, if that real estate is, on the West
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 4: Side becomes a school, a senior citizen center.
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 24: Something to help the people, and not something for somebody
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 24: to make money, I'll wear a toupee.
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 4: For a day.
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 2: That ain't going to happen.
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 4: I'll wear a toupee on my head. I'll wear a
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 4: toupee for a day.
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 2: Right, right.
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 4: Because it ain't happening.
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 2: No, it's not happening.
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 24: When de Blasio came into office after.
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 4: 20 years of Republican rule between Giuliani and Bloomberg, his
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 4: biggest issue were these frigging horses. And I saw him.
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 4: I said, Bill, You have just made the Republicans look
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 4: like geniuses. After 20 years of their rule, your biggest
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 4: issue is not education, crime, subways, infrastructure. It's the 12
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 4: horses in Central Park. This is what's on the cover
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 4: of the paper every day. I guess Giuliani and Bloomberg
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 4: did as great of a job as we all did.
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 24: We all thought they did.
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah.
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 2: No, it's crazy.
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 4: There's something shady going on.
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 2: No, it is. It's all about the real estate, and
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 2: they can't fool me.
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 2: It's very nice for people who love animals who also
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 2: get way too carried away. Animal lovers get ridiculous. I'm sorry.
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 24: They eat a steak. They eat a steak and eat chicken.
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 2: Right, exactly. And when Curtis Slee was on your side,
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 2: you know you got issues. So John Samuelson will join
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 2: me in about 20 minutes in studio. He is the
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 2: president of the Transport Workers Union, like Arthur just talked about.
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 2: So a couple more minutes here quickly, Arthur. I want
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 2: to get to Europe. They got that game off yesterday, the...
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 2: Steelers and the Saints, no issue in Paris. First game ever.
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 2: But I know a lot of my Italian friends, you
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 2: mentioned Joseph Tacopino. He had a law office in Milan,
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 2: Italy for a long time. I know you love that place,
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 2: and you've got some issues with Milan as well. What's
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 2: going on there?
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 4: So Joe and I were in the law office together
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 4: in Milan. Joe and I owned a restaurant together in Milan.
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 14: Really?
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 4: And watching the videos last night.
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 2: I had no idea that you guys actually owned that
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 2: office and all that together.
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 11: No.
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 4: Joe doesn't speak Italian. I speak Italian. I said, without me,
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 4: Joe can't do anything.
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 24: In the meantime, he's been knighted in Italy.
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 2: In the own.
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 24: Championship soccer teams. Why didn't you do that?
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 4: Because, uh, why? Because I don't keep a little interpreter
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 4: next to me, number one. Number two, I enjoy being
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 4: a lawyer. Like, I didn't want to do the whole thing.
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 4: Believe me, he offered me, let's do this. I go, Joe,
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 4: come on, I'm a lawyer. I don't want to, what
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 4: do I know about this stock of crap? Anyway, it
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 4: broke my heart last night. Because, you know, look.
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 24: We all have these mixed feelings about France, right? Because
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 24: for a lot of different.
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 4: Reasons, going back to World War II and thereafter and
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 4: how they've treated us, we can't use their airspace, we
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 4: can't use their airspace. They were stuck-up people. But when
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 4: I saw, obviously my heart broke for those people who
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 4: were store owners in Paris. But last night, when I saw,
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 4: I mean, they were trying to go, they went to
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 4: the Colosseum, the Roman Colosseum.
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 24: I mean, yeah, the Eiffel Tower is nice, but... But
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 24: that's a new man-made thing, relatively speaking, to the Colosseum,
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 24: which was.
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 4: Thousands of years. In Milan, they tried to storm the Duomo,
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 4: which is amongst the most gorgeous churches on the planet Earth.
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 4: I mean, thank God they had enough military there not to.
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 24: But these guys.
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 4: Look, Sid... I feel that someone's behind it. They're paying
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 4: these kids or they're offering them something. These kids don't
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 4: even know what they're protesting. Are they protesting the war
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 4: in Gaza? Are they protesting Ukraine? Are they protesting their
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 4: education system? Are they protesting their cost of living? They
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 4: don't know what the F they're doing.
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 24: They're just there because it's fun and let's burn something down.
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 4: I mean, it's I mean, but the woman who's running Italy,
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 4: she ain't fooling around, man.
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 24: She's shutting things down. She's shutting people down. She's shutting curfews.
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 24: You know, she's Trump's buddy most of the time when
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 24: they're not fighting over something stupid.
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 2: Most of the time.
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 4: Right. Look, he wants to fool around with her. You
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 4: know it and I know it. She's Italian. She speaks Italian.
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 4: She sounds sexy.
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 24: So there's a sexual tension going on there. That's no secret.
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 24: But she's not fooling around. She's going to go after
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 24: these people, which thank God she is.
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 4: So, you know, that breaks my heart.
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 24: And the last thing here, a little more local, these
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 24: Cornell boys, right? Obviously, you know, you have a gorgeous daughter,
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 24: but you also.
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 4: Have a son. This is a civil case. This is
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 4: not a criminal case. This is a civil case. So
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 4: the lawsuit is.
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 24: A civil case. that some lawyer just filed.
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 4: It's not like a district attorney's office, a lawyer who
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 4: took an oath to uphold the constitution of the state
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 4: of New York has filed a case.
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 24: So when a prosecutor does it, the ruling is the
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 24: complainant's name, the woman's name is not disclosed because an
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 24: investigation has been done and there's probable cause to charge
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 24: the individual with a crime. That's not the case here.
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 24: Here's just the opposite. The school investigating the case.
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 4: Didn't bring charges.
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 24: A district attorney's office investigated the case and didn't bring charges.
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 24: But some schmuck, like any lawyer, could could do it
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 24: and brought a civil case. Now, everyone knows these boys names.
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 24: They're forever scarred on the Internet forever and ever and ever.
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 24: It doesn't go away. And they asked that the girl's
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 24: name come out. Could everyone find out who this woman is?
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 24: In the civil case, the judge said no.
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 4: In the eight-day decision, no. We're going to still maintain
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 4: her anonymity. I just don't think that's fair. In other words,
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 4: she signed off on the case.
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 24: If you're going to say these seven guys did this
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 24: to you two years after they did it to you, Well,
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 24: let's know who it is.
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 4: Let's look at this person's background. Let's look at, has
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 4: she ever been in trouble?
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 24: Let's look at her grades. Let's look at how she
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 24: got into Cornell. Let's do an investigation. I'm not saying
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 24: that if it's a criminal case where a grand jury
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 24: has said, hey, there's probable cause this guy did something
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 24: real bad and we're going to go forward with a prosecution.
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 4: That's different.
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 24: But here- Just so you.
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 4: Understand, God forbid, my son, your son.
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 24: Some prosecutor, I'm sorry, some defense attorney on 13th.
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 4: Avenue, Dyka Heights, or on Bell Boulevard in Bayside, Queens,
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 4: could write up a complaint, say Gabriel or Luca did
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 4: something really bad, and now everyone's going to know Gabriel
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 4: is Sid Rosenberg's son, but who's the girl? Oh, we
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 4: don't know who the girl is.
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no, you're right. No, you make a fair point,
• 1:10:20
  Speaker 2: and again, I haven't... I haven't come out, and like
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 2: the Attorney General has, Letitia James, I haven't come out
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 2: and decided who's guilty, who's not in this case.
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 18: I haven't.
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 2: I usually do 10 with the girl, and the fact
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 2: that seven guys did this looks, at the very least,
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 2: it's morally reprehensible, really reprehensible. And if my son took
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 2: part in that, I would kick my son's ass to see,
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 2: you know, legal or not.
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 4: A hundred percent. But all I'm talking about is due process.
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 14: No, you're right.
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 24: And the due process that's been there already is, yes,
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 24: the school investigated, and everyone's saying, well, Cornell doesn't.
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 4: Want this black mark on them, so they're not going
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 4: to do anything.
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 24: Everyone's accusing the district attorney of corruption, saying, hey, Ithaca
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 24: is all about Cornell. So they just I mean, they
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 24: just dismiss a case of that magnitude or they don't
• 1:11:11
  Speaker 24: take it seriously.
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 4: Sid, just so you know, I can't speak for Ithaca, New.
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 24: York, but in the five boroughs, any woman who goes
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 24: in and says this guy touched the hair on.
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 4: My head and I did not consent.
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 24: They're locking that guy up.
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 4: There's no if, ands, or buts. They just, boom. They
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 4: arrest now, and then they investigate later.
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 2: Write questions later, right.
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 4: So you lose your job. You're embarrassed in front of
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 4: your family. You've got to pay a lawyer a lot
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 4: of money.
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 24: And then when he gets dismissed, nobody knows about it.
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 24: Nobody hears about it.
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 2: Nobody cares.
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 24: You can't get your.
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 4: Job back because you're in Google. as a potential rapist.
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 2: No, no, you're right.
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 4: It's rough when you represent these boys.
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 2: And people still think that even if they are acquitted,
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 2: that they're guilty. You're right. It's a nasty, nasty thing. Artie,
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 2: you were magnificent on Thursday. Even better here this morning.
• 1:11:59
  Speaker 2: We love having you on this show. You're a dear,
• 1:12:01
  Speaker 2: dear friend for a very, very long time. I love
• 1:12:03
  Speaker 2: you to pieces, Arthur. I, Dollar, thank you so much.
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 4: God bless and good luck to your beautiful bride on Sunday.
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 2: I appreciate that, Artie. Thank you. She's got the big race.
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 2: That's the amazing attorney, dear friend of mine, Arthur Aydala,
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 2: who's also amazing on radio and television. And yes, for
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 2: the seventh time, Danielle Rosenberg will take on the New
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 2: York City Marathon this Sunday. We'll have more of that
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 2: as the week continues. We've got the news coming up
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 2: and five more great guests still to come. The Monday edition.
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 3: Sid and Friends in the Morning on the Red Apple
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 3: Podcast Network.
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 2: Happy birthday to Steve Polino, him and his lovely wife. Listen,
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 2: from Sands Point, Long Island, every morning. We're going to
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 2: take a short break. When we get back, this horse
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 2: and carriage thing is a big, big deal. Julie Menon
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 2: is lying. The mayor is lying. Everybody's lying. We're going
• 1:12:53
  Speaker 2: to get the truth from the man who's in charge,
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 2: the president of the transit workers.
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 1: Sid and friends in.
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 3: The morning on the Red Apple Podcast Network.
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 2: She's right there with Mayor Mamdani and all these losers
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 2: who want to destroy the horse and carriage business. And
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 2: I got John Samuelson sitting right in front of me
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 2: right now. And I want him to tell me if
• 1:13:16
  Speaker 2: Julie Menon is telling the truth. Cut number eight.
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 25: To me, it was a couple of different factors, Pat.
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 25: Forty two million people use Central Park each and every year.
• 1:13:26
  Speaker 25: And the horse carriages are operating in a very crowded area.
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 25: We've had numerous accidents that have happened where horses have
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 25: been spooked. They've broken free. It's created real issues around
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 25: public safety in the park with pedestrians. The Central Park
• 1:13:40
  Speaker 25: Conservancy last year came out in favor of the horse
• 1:13:43
  Speaker 25: carriage ban.
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 11: And then in.
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 25: June, Rahman Shahjahan lost his life. Tragically, this young man
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 25: lost his life. And it really it was enough is enough.
• 1:13:53
  Speaker 25: And so the council decided to act. And then over
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 25: the course of the summer, after the hearing, we really
• 1:13:58
  Speaker 25: tried to focus on worker protection, beefing up the worker
• 1:14:02
  Speaker 25: protection language in the bill, because we know those workers
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 25: do need to be protected.
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 2: That's important. All right, John, so I've been saying for
• 1:14:08
  Speaker 2: a couple of weeks on this show, wait a second,
• 1:14:10
  Speaker 2: more people die from scooters and bicycles that are out
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 2: of control in this city. She mentions one tourist died. Okay,
• 1:14:18
  Speaker 2: that's a terrible thing.
• 1:14:19
  Speaker 11: One.
• 1:14:19
  Speaker 2: Far as I know, one horse died. I'm not familiar
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 2: with all these issues. I live in New York City.
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 2: I work here every day. I'm not familiar with all
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 2: these major issues. So to me, I think she's lying.
• 1:14:30
  Speaker 2: But I could be wrong. You tell me.
• 1:14:33
  Speaker 17: Well, she's certainly lying about the danger that the carriage
• 1:14:37
  Speaker 17: industry is a public safety crisis or danger that needed
• 1:14:40
  Speaker 17: to be addressed. She's absolutely lying through her teeth about that.
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 17: A horse did die over the summer, and it died
• 1:14:47
  Speaker 17: because the Central Park Conservancy planted poisonous plants in the
• 1:14:50
  Speaker 17: pathway of the horse and carriages. That's why the horse
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 17: ate a poisonous plant.
• 1:14:55
  Speaker 2: Because as far as I know, and again, this is
• 1:14:58
  Speaker 2: the president of the Transport Workers Union. He's a great guy,
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 2: John Samuelson. As far as I know, that's the only
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 2: horse that died, and they do have provisions in place
• 1:15:08
  Speaker 2: on very, very hot days. They won't run those horses
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 2: out there, right?
• 1:15:13
  Speaker 17: Yeah, on hot days and on cold days, that's absolutely true.
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 17: And I heard a reference to transit workers in New York,
• 1:15:19
  Speaker 17: but in any city across the country. I mean, transit
• 1:15:21
  Speaker 17: workers work in You know, in extremely hot weather, extremely
• 1:15:25
  Speaker 17: cold weather, everybody does, all construction workers. The horses actually
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 17: require blankets in the winter and are in air conditioning
• 1:15:32
  Speaker 17: in the summer in their stables. And by the way,
• 1:15:34
  Speaker 17: more than one horse died, but horses have died from
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 17: natural causes. That particular horse she's talking about died because
• 1:15:39
  Speaker 17: the Central Park poisoned it.
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 2: I mean, people die from heart attacks every day. Horses
• 1:15:43
  Speaker 2: are living animals, as far as I know. So one
• 1:15:46
  Speaker 2: horse died. You're going to shut down the whole industry?
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 2: I mean, you know what's going on here, John. The
• 1:15:52
  Speaker 2: smart people, me, John Katsimatidis coming up next, President Donald Trump,
• 1:15:57
  Speaker 2: we know what's going on here. There is real estate there.
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 2: They're not going to build schools on it. They're not
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 2: going to build temples or churches on it. They're going
• 1:16:06
  Speaker 2: to build housing. So the city is looking at this as, hey,
• 1:16:09
  Speaker 2: we lie about the horses. We talk about one tourist,
• 1:16:13
  Speaker 2: God rest his soul, and we can have that land
• 1:16:15
  Speaker 2: there and make some money on real estate. Is that
• 1:16:18
  Speaker 2: really what's going on here?
• 1:16:20
  Speaker 23: Yeah, absolutely.
• 1:16:21
  Speaker 17: The NICLAS, which is the primary organization that is really
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 17: founded by a real estate developer masquerading as an animal
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 17: rights organization, It was even in 2008 when it was founded,
• 1:16:33
  Speaker 17: the original pamphlet that they put out referenced the value
• 1:16:37
  Speaker 17: of the stables in Hell's Kitchen as three stables. Extremely valuable.
• 1:16:41
  Speaker 17: So this is what this fight's always been about. It's
• 1:16:45
  Speaker 17: every inch of the way it's been about this real estate.
• 1:16:48
  Speaker 17: And finally, the New York City, the outer borough, New
• 1:16:51
  Speaker 17: York City Council is in particular responsible. Should be ashamed
• 1:16:54
  Speaker 17: of themselves for going along with this real estate grab.
• 1:16:56
  Speaker 2: Or Julie Menon lied. Yes, right?
• 1:16:57
  Speaker 23: Yeah, Julie Menon lied 100%. Okay, now let me get to.
• 1:17:00
  Speaker 2: The mayor because you were here one other time. I
• 1:17:02
  Speaker 2: like you a lot. But there was tension because this
• 1:17:05
  Speaker 2: was when Mamdani was running for office and you said
• 1:17:08
  Speaker 2: you liked him and you were saying nice things about him.
• 1:17:11
  Speaker 2: You can't do that in these studios. I hate the guy.
• 1:17:13
  Speaker 2: I hate the guy with the venom. If the guy
• 1:17:15
  Speaker 2: stood in front of me, I probably couldn't control myself.
• 1:17:17
  Speaker 2: I'm being serious. I'm being physically violent. That's how much
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 2: I hate this guy, okay? I've been saying that on
• 1:17:21
  Speaker 2: the air right now. I don't care. Now, you know
• 1:17:24
  Speaker 2: that he's not your friend here. You stuck up on
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 2: that day. You said, oh, he's a nice guy. He
• 1:17:28
  Speaker 2: said he's a nice guy. He is partly, if not
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 2: a lot of the reason why, this business is going away.
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 2: So what are you saying today about your good friend,
• 1:17:37
  Speaker 2: the mayor?
• 1:17:38
  Speaker 17: So I certainly don't hate the mayor, you know, and
• 1:17:40
  Speaker 17: I have an ability to separate the somebody's behavior from
• 1:17:43
  Speaker 17: somebody i don't you know i i have a tendency
• 1:17:46
  Speaker 17: not to hate people you.
• 1:17:47
  Speaker 2: Hate any politician do you hate any politician no not
• 1:17:49
  Speaker 2: particularly i don't even hate you should well you should
• 1:17:51
  Speaker 2: you should hate hokal too i try not to hate
• 1:17:53
  Speaker 2: anybody i don't want to wake up with i know
• 1:17:55
  Speaker 2: you're a nice man but you should hate hokal you
• 1:17:58
  Speaker 2: should hate mondani.
• 1:17:59
  Speaker 17: I hate her behavior and by the way so let
• 1:18:00
  Speaker 17: me draw a distinction between julie menon and and zoran
• 1:18:04
  Speaker 17: zoran has a morally held belief That the horses shouldn't
• 1:18:07
  Speaker 17: be doing what they're doing in Central Park. Julie Menon
• 1:18:10
  Speaker 17: supported us on this issue until the day of a
• 1:18:13
  Speaker 17: tragedy of a tourist dying in Central Park. She exploited
• 1:18:16
  Speaker 17: the grief of the family. She freaking drove this forward
• 1:18:19
  Speaker 17: for the purposes of real estate development in Hell's Kitchen.
• 1:18:22
  Speaker 17: And that's despicable. And I will say one thing about Zorian.
• 1:18:25
  Speaker 17: Zorian should have been calling out the contrived nature of
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 17: what Julie Menon has done with the city council instead
• 1:18:30
  Speaker 17: of going along with it.
• 1:18:31
  Speaker 23: And that is reprehensible. He should be calling out her
• 1:18:33
  Speaker 23: bad behavior.
• 1:18:34
  Speaker 2: Should be doing that. Absolutely. Well, you don't hate Zoran,
• 1:18:38
  Speaker 2: but at the very least, you're being critical of him today.
• 1:18:40
  Speaker 23: Yeah, absolutely.
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 17: I disagree with what he's doing. He's aware of that.
• 1:18:42
  Speaker 17: I've had this conversation with him, but there is a
• 1:18:44
  Speaker 17: difference between him.
• 1:18:46
  Speaker 23: He didn't start this. He should be calling out her behavior.
• 1:18:49
  Speaker 2: He should be.
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 23: Disagreeing with it. And the end does not justify the means.
• 1:18:53
  Speaker 2: Now, John, what is the governor's role in this?
• 1:18:56
  Speaker 17: Well, the governor doesn't have any role in this except
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 17: saying that she agrees with it, which is utterly ridiculous.
• 1:19:01
  Speaker 23: She should mind their own business.
• 1:19:02
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 1:19:03
  Speaker 23: But she did give me a shout out at the
• 1:19:04
  Speaker 23: debate on this issue.
• 1:19:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I heard that. I did hear that.
• 1:19:07
  Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah.
• 1:19:08
  Speaker 17: It's good to know I'm on her mind.
• 1:19:12
  Speaker 2: I mean, at this point, John, for what it's worth,
• 1:19:15
  Speaker 2: you're probably the most famous union leader here in the city, right?
• 1:19:20
  Speaker 23: I don't know about that, but if it is so
• 1:19:22
  Speaker 23: be it.
• 1:19:22
  Speaker 2: I think it is.
• 1:19:24
  Speaker 17: Well, if that's true, it's because I'm fighting back against
• 1:19:26
  Speaker 17: the politicians and the bosses that are hurting workers.
• 1:19:28
  Speaker 2: Let me ask you about the horse owners. I've got
• 1:19:31
  Speaker 2: to talk about the city council, a dear, dear friend
• 1:19:33
  Speaker 2: who listens every morning. And I think the world of her.
• 1:19:35
  Speaker 2: Her name is Vicky Palladino. I know you know her.
• 1:19:37
  Speaker 2: She's in Queens. She's been out there rallying for the
• 1:19:41
  Speaker 2: horse owners. We hear about the horse drivers. We hear
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 2: about the actual horses. But these horse owners... are also
• 1:19:48
  Speaker 2: getting screwed. And as far as I know, they can't
• 1:19:51
  Speaker 2: use these horses in any of the five boroughs. So
• 1:19:54
  Speaker 2: what are the owners saying to you?
• 1:19:56
  Speaker 17: So this 68 medallion owners, this is at the heart
• 1:19:59
  Speaker 17: of the matter, really. It's one of the issues that
• 1:20:01
  Speaker 17: is going to make us successful in hopefully invalidating the law.
• 1:20:05
  Speaker 17: And I saw there was a, you know, Tom Allen
• 1:20:07
  Speaker 17: was mentioned, the publisher of City State. You know, he's
• 1:20:11
  Speaker 17: a fanatical anti-horse guy.
• 1:20:13
  Speaker 2: Arthur I. Dollar mentioned him, yes.
• 1:20:14
  Speaker 17: Yeah, so Artie mentioned him. He's a fanatical anti-horse guy.
• 1:20:17
  Speaker 17: He wrote an op-ed, which I didn't read yet, saying
• 1:20:19
  Speaker 17: that Julie Menon versus the union boss and Julie prevailed. Well,
• 1:20:23
  Speaker 17: it ain't over till it's over because the law is
• 1:20:25
  Speaker 17: fatally flawed. 68 medallion owners that invested a lot of
• 1:20:28
  Speaker 17: money into their small businesses. The medallions were sold by
• 1:20:31
  Speaker 17: the city of New York, and the law just makes
• 1:20:34
  Speaker 17: their investment moot, valueless. And this is America, and you
• 1:20:38
  Speaker 17: can't sell somebody something if you're the government and then
• 1:20:40
  Speaker 17: say it's worth nothing.
• 1:20:41
  Speaker 2: Now, here's another place where you should take the mayor
• 1:20:44
  Speaker 2: to the woodshed, okay? He's one of the people, along
• 1:20:47
  Speaker 2: with John O'Lieber from the MTA and Julie Menon, who
• 1:20:51
  Speaker 2: promised that those lovely people, all those immigrants they worry
• 1:20:54
  Speaker 2: about every day, that are out there riding around these horses,
• 1:20:57
  Speaker 2: they were going to get jobs after they whacked them
• 1:21:00
  Speaker 2: and destroyed the industry. There's no proof of any of that.
• 1:21:03
  Speaker 2: Do you have any confidence in your friend the mayor
• 1:21:06
  Speaker 2: or anybody else in politics they're going to help these
• 1:21:09
  Speaker 2: people out when they whack the whole industry?
• 1:21:11
  Speaker 17: So to give you an honest answer to that, the
• 1:21:14
  Speaker 17: law itself really has no concrete protections, and the only
• 1:21:19
  Speaker 17: entity in this whole mix that actually will support those
• 1:21:21
  Speaker 17: workers is the mayor. And I know you hate him,
• 1:21:23
  Speaker 17: but the mayor is the only one who will come
• 1:21:25
  Speaker 17: through for those workers.
• 1:21:26
  Speaker 2: But do you think he will?
• 1:21:27
  Speaker 23: Yeah, I don't think he's going.
• 1:21:29
  Speaker 2: To— What do the workers think? What about you? What
• 1:21:30
  Speaker 2: do the workers think? Because I hear a lot of
• 1:21:32
  Speaker 2: them being interviewed on TV and radio. They're scared to death.
• 1:21:35
  Speaker 2: They have no confidence in the mayor or anybody else.
• 1:21:37
  Speaker 17: I think it's premature to have that conversation because this
• 1:21:40
  Speaker 17: thing is not over until it's over.
• 1:21:42
  Speaker 23: There's going to be a lawsuit.
• 1:21:43
  Speaker 17: If he signs the bill into law, we're going to
• 1:21:45
  Speaker 17: be in court the next day or that day if
• 1:21:46
  Speaker 17: he signs it early enough. And it's premature to have
• 1:21:49
  Speaker 17: that conversation. But I do believe the mayor, when he
• 1:21:51
  Speaker 17: says he will look after the workers, yeah.
• 1:21:52
  Speaker 2: What if he doesn't?
• 1:21:54
  Speaker 17: If well then he's a liar okay and he'll be
• 1:21:58
  Speaker 17: called out as a liar on this show and all
• 1:21:59
  Speaker 17: the shows i don't.
• 1:22:00
  Speaker 2: I don't even know because i love these people who
• 1:22:02
  Speaker 2: drive the horses i do i love them but i
• 1:22:05
  Speaker 2: almost hope that they get screwed because i want you
• 1:22:07
  Speaker 2: to come in here and call the mayor a liar
• 1:22:09
  Speaker 2: actually i want to be up for that day i'm
• 1:22:11
  Speaker 2: sorry well isn't.
• 1:22:12
  Speaker 17: It ironic that the democratic party is attacking uh you
• 1:22:15
  Speaker 17: know 200 immigrant largely immigrant workers that's a right there's
• 1:22:18
  Speaker 17: a great irony there.
• 1:22:19
  Speaker 23: I'm the furthest thing from a Republican.
• 1:22:22
  Speaker 17: If I despise anything, it's the institutional parties of America
• 1:22:26
  Speaker 17: that continually abandon working people.
• 1:22:28
  Speaker 2: What are you then? I'm a trade unionist. That's it.
• 1:22:31
  Speaker 17: Yeah, the trade union is the only institution in America
• 1:22:34
  Speaker 17: looking out for working people. As we see the Democrats
• 1:22:36
  Speaker 17: abandon working people, the Republicans have a freaking loathing for
• 1:22:39
  Speaker 17: working people in many instances, particularly in the South. The
• 1:22:43
  Speaker 17: working people in America are in an atrocious spot.
• 1:22:45
  Speaker 2: Not here, though. Not here, though. In this city, the
• 1:22:47
  Speaker 2: Republicans are, believe me, they're on your side before the time.
• 1:22:50
  Speaker 2: I'm telling you, in this city, that's the case. We're
• 1:22:52
  Speaker 2: not in the Southwest. I checked. We're in New York City.
• 1:22:54
  Speaker 17: I distinguish between the institutions of both parties, which are poison,
• 1:22:58
  Speaker 17: and then individual Democrats and Republicans, of which there are
• 1:23:01
  Speaker 17: many who are very good.
• 1:23:02
  Speaker 2: So who would you vote for, then, in a local election?
• 1:23:05
  Speaker 2: Do you just stay away?
• 1:23:06
  Speaker 11: No. No.
• 1:23:08
  Speaker 17: So I run a trade union, right? 170,000 members. And
• 1:23:11
  Speaker 17: we have a gauge and we gauge people on their
• 1:23:14
  Speaker 17: support for working people. And we do not vote for
• 1:23:17
  Speaker 17: people or endorse people because they're Democrats or Republicans. We
• 1:23:21
  Speaker 17: endorse people because of what their record is for working people.
• 1:23:24
  Speaker 2: I have no issue with that. His name is John Samuelson.
• 1:23:26
  Speaker 4: Good guy.
• 1:23:27
  Speaker 2: He's the president of the Transport Workers Union. I also
• 1:23:30
  Speaker 2: saw something last week. There's no proof of this, obviously. But,
• 1:23:33
  Speaker 2: you know, when they whacked this industry, what are you
• 1:23:35
  Speaker 2: going to do with the horses? Somebody said, they're just
• 1:23:37
  Speaker 2: going to kill all these horses. I'm not saying they're
• 1:23:40
  Speaker 2: going to do that, but that thought is out there.
• 1:23:42
  Speaker 17: That is also going to be another element of the
• 1:23:43
  Speaker 17: lawsuit because the New York City Council actually just passed
• 1:23:47
  Speaker 17: a law that severely constrains an owner of a horse's
• 1:23:50
  Speaker 17: ability to actually sell the horse. And when you do that,
• 1:23:54
  Speaker 17: there is a very good chance that the horses will
• 1:23:56
  Speaker 17: wind up in a very bad spot, like... like in
• 1:23:59
  Speaker 17: a factory that's going to dispatch them.
• 1:24:00
  Speaker 2: Really?
• 1:24:01
  Speaker 11: Yes.
• 1:24:01
  Speaker 2: So that could happen?
• 1:24:02
  Speaker 23: Yeah, it really could happen.
• 1:24:03
  Speaker 2: Oh, my God.
• 1:24:04
  Speaker 23: It not only really could, it very likely will.
• 1:24:06
  Speaker 2: So one of these people, people who love the horses,
• 1:24:09
  Speaker 2: now they're putting the horses in a position where they
• 1:24:10
  Speaker 2: will be basically executed.
• 1:24:12
  Speaker 23: Yeah, they know not what they do.
• 1:24:14
  Speaker 4: Wow.
• 1:24:15
  Speaker 2: And is there any data that backs up Julie Menon?
• 1:24:18
  Speaker 2: You called her a liar, so did I. Well, she said,
• 1:24:20
  Speaker 2: we've got all these incidents. Are you aware? Is there
• 1:24:23
  Speaker 2: any data that can prove their point? Because she can't
• 1:24:25
  Speaker 2: just say that without providing all these examples.
• 1:24:29
  Speaker 17: So she's engaging in, at best, to be generous to her,
• 1:24:33
  Speaker 17: an extreme act of hyperbole. If you compare the incidents
• 1:24:37
  Speaker 17: with the horses compared to the bikes and the mopeds
• 1:24:40
  Speaker 17: that you referenced, it's minuscule. Absolutely minuscule. There have been
• 1:24:43
  Speaker 17: 28 deaths. from e-bikes in New York City. And, you know,
• 1:24:47
  Speaker 17: in relatively hardly any instances with the horses. But she's done,
• 1:24:51
  Speaker 17: she did nothing to address the incidents with the bikes
• 1:24:54
  Speaker 17: and the mopeds until the TWU and other critics said,
• 1:24:57
  Speaker 17: are you out of your mind? You're addressing, you know,
• 1:25:01
  Speaker 17: one death in 168 years of an industry. 28 deaths
• 1:25:04
  Speaker 17: from e-bikes. You've done nothing. So she is a liar.
• 1:25:08
  Speaker 2: Julie Madden. And part of my issue with the mayor
• 1:25:10
  Speaker 2: too is, not to just keep pounding them, but I
• 1:25:14
  Speaker 2: believe that he could care less about tradition in this city.
• 1:25:17
  Speaker 2: I know that's the case, in fact. I know that.
• 1:25:19
  Speaker 2: You may like him. That's fine. He couldn't care less
• 1:25:21
  Speaker 2: about tradition in this city. This is tradition. I mean,
• 1:25:24
  Speaker 2: these tourists come here. They love it. It's beautiful. The
• 1:25:27
  Speaker 2: horses are beautiful. I've done the Central Park thing many,
• 1:25:30
  Speaker 2: many times when I was younger, okay, before I was
• 1:25:33
  Speaker 2: married to my beautiful wife. That was a big date thing.
• 1:25:35
  Speaker 2: I think I did it with four or five different girls.
• 1:25:37
  Speaker 2: We always loved it. We loved it. The mayor has
• 1:25:40
  Speaker 2: no interest in what has happened in New York, the
• 1:25:43
  Speaker 2: tradition that makes this city beautiful. Will you at least
• 1:25:47
  Speaker 2: admit that?
• 1:25:49
  Speaker 17: I certainly would admit that the mayor does not have
• 1:25:52
  Speaker 17: does does not have a view of American traditionalism the
• 1:25:55
  Speaker 17: way that a out of borough working class guy would
• 1:25:57
  Speaker 17: like me, for instance.
• 1:25:58
  Speaker 2: Or you, for instance, maybe.
• 1:25:59
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:26:00
  Speaker 2: Where are you from? What borough are you from? I'm
• 1:26:02
  Speaker 2: from Brooklyn.
• 1:26:02
  Speaker 23: You can't tell, by the way.
• 1:26:03
  Speaker 2: No, I know. Oh, that's right. You asked me about
• 1:26:05
  Speaker 2: Sheepshead Bay today. That's why I love you, John. I
• 1:26:07
  Speaker 2: love all the Brooklyn people. You're from Garrison Beach, right?
• 1:26:11
  Speaker 23: Yeah, from right next door to Sheepshead Bay.
• 1:26:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, man. You're a real New Yorker. That area right there,
• 1:26:16
  Speaker 2: that's real New York. You know that, right?
• 1:26:18
  Speaker 17: Well, it's certainly working class New York with a high
• 1:26:20
  Speaker 17: level of trade union density, for sure.
• 1:26:21
  Speaker 18: Yeah.
• 1:26:22
  Speaker 2: How are the rest of your group doing? Bus drivers and...
• 1:26:26
  Speaker 2: The guys that ride the trains every day, are they
• 1:26:28
  Speaker 2: relatively happy? How's that going for those people?
• 1:26:31
  Speaker 17: Well, so we represent transit cities all over the country.
• 1:26:35
  Speaker 17: But when you're talking about New York, since you brought
• 1:26:37
  Speaker 17: it up, we're in a fairly significant contract fight with
• 1:26:40
  Speaker 17: the governor of New York State, which is playing itself
• 1:26:43
  Speaker 17: out right now.
• 1:26:44
  Speaker 2: Well, can't the mayor help you there? So Kathy Hochul
• 1:26:46
  Speaker 2: is so scared of the mayor. If he calls Kathy
• 1:26:49
  Speaker 2: today and says, hey, Kathy, give these guys a break,
• 1:26:51
  Speaker 2: you know that would help you, right? You know that
• 1:26:52
  Speaker 2: would help you.
• 1:26:53
  Speaker 23: Yeah, I'm sure that would help us. And I've made
• 1:26:58
  Speaker 23: my opinion.
• 1:26:58
  Speaker 17: I've called it out very loudly what my opinion is
• 1:27:01
  Speaker 17: with Zoran campaigning with Kathy Hochul. I hope the poison
• 1:27:05
  Speaker 17: of Kathy Hochul doesn't get all over him.
• 1:27:07
  Speaker 2: Oh, he's lathered in it. Are you kidding me? They
• 1:27:10
  Speaker 2: both stink. Both of them smell. They smell like each other.
• 1:27:13
  Speaker 2: So when is that contract up for the... trains and
• 1:27:17
  Speaker 2: the bus riders and those people.
• 1:27:18
  Speaker 23: It was up in May.
• 1:27:19
  Speaker 2: Oh, really?
• 1:27:19
  Speaker 23: It was up in May.
• 1:27:20
  Speaker 17: So just, you know, for all the Democrats and the
• 1:27:23
  Speaker 17: other trade unions for that matter that support Kathy Hochul,
• 1:27:27
  Speaker 17: she's attacking the public sector trade unions in New York
• 1:27:30
  Speaker 17: State pretty brutally right now. For instance, our Port Authority
• 1:27:33
  Speaker 17: blue-collar workforce, she's trying to eliminate their retiree health care totally.
• 1:27:37
  Speaker 11: No.
• 1:27:38
  Speaker 23: She wants to totally eliminate their retiree health care.
• 1:27:39
  Speaker 2: No, come on.
• 1:27:40
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:27:41
  Speaker 17: New York City transit workers right now, she wants to
• 1:27:42
  Speaker 17: increase health care contributions by 50%. She's got a lot
• 1:27:46
  Speaker 17: of other concession demands on the table. So this is
• 1:27:48
  Speaker 17: no trade union supporting governor. And by the way, she
• 1:27:50
  Speaker 17: scabbed the last three strikes. She fired 3,000 correctional officers
• 1:27:53
  Speaker 17: that struck over prison conditions.
• 1:27:55
  Speaker 13: Right.
• 1:27:56
  Speaker 17: She triggered a strike on the Long Island Railroad and
• 1:27:58
  Speaker 17: then tried to break the unions. She scabbed the New
• 1:28:00
  Speaker 17: York City nurses strike. By the way, Zoran walked those
• 1:28:02
  Speaker 17: picket lines. He walked the picket lines and Hochul scabbed
• 1:28:06
  Speaker 17: the strike.
• 1:28:06
  Speaker 2: That's true. That did happen. Yeah, that did happen. You're right.
• 1:28:09
  Speaker 2: So you know that Bruce Blakeman at one point worked
• 1:28:11
  Speaker 2: for the Port Authority. I mean, for him, this is gold, right?
• 1:28:15
  Speaker 2: You're looking for reasons for people not to vote for Kathy.
• 1:28:19
  Speaker 2: If I'm Bruce Blakeman, I swear to God, election day
• 1:28:21
  Speaker 2: is eight days away. You know what I do? I
• 1:28:23
  Speaker 2: sit down today with John Samuelson. With you. No, I'm serious.
• 1:28:27
  Speaker 2: Because unions and all these beautiful nurses and these beautiful
• 1:28:31
  Speaker 2: drivers of the buses and the trains and the correction officers,
• 1:28:36
  Speaker 2: all these people, the fabric of New York City, and
• 1:28:39
  Speaker 2: Kathy Hochul, according to you, John Samuelson, is shoving up
• 1:28:42
  Speaker 2: their ass every day.
• 1:28:44
  Speaker 17: Yeah, she's anti-trade union. She's, at best, she's got an
• 1:28:47
  Speaker 17: extremely mixed record on the trade unions. And it's indicated
• 1:28:51
  Speaker 17: in the polls. It's reflected in the polls. I mean,
• 1:28:54
  Speaker 17: the overwhelming majority of trade union families in New York
• 1:28:56
  Speaker 17: State don't support her, don't approve of her, have no
• 1:28:59
  Speaker 17: intention of voting for her.
• 1:29:00
  Speaker 2: God bless you, John. I think I love you more today.
• 1:29:02
  Speaker 2: I do. So on the way out, this thing's not
• 1:29:04
  Speaker 2: over yet. They haven't filed the paperwork yet, but they're
• 1:29:07
  Speaker 2: going to. It's just at this point, it's not a
• 1:29:09
  Speaker 2: matter of if, it's a matter of when. So when
• 1:29:11
  Speaker 2: they do, you guys are going to do what first?
• 1:29:15
  Speaker 17: We're going to go to court and we're going to
• 1:29:17
  Speaker 17: try to invalidate the law. We believe we have a
• 1:29:19
  Speaker 17: solid case. It's not John Samuelson, track worker. you know, lawyer-ish-ness.
• 1:29:24
  Speaker 17: We have lawyers, real lawyers, telling us that the law
• 1:29:28
  Speaker 17: is extremely flawed.
• 1:29:29
  Speaker 2: And on the way out, one more time, for the
• 1:29:31
  Speaker 2: third time, because I like hearing it, Julie Menon, she's
• 1:29:33
  Speaker 2: lying here.
• 1:29:34
  Speaker 17: Yeah, she's lying. She's doing the bidding of Manhattan real
• 1:29:37
  Speaker 17: estate developers. She betrayed the workers. She betrayed the TWU.
• 1:29:41
  Speaker 17: She'll betray every other union that comes across her, you know,
• 1:29:44
  Speaker 17: comes into her range. This is very disappointing to us,
• 1:29:49
  Speaker 17: but that's what she's done.
• 1:29:50
  Speaker 2: And Kathy Hochul, the governor, no friend of any of
• 1:29:52
  Speaker 2: you people.
• 1:29:53
  Speaker 17: No, absolutely not. She has no idea how to keep
• 1:29:55
  Speaker 17: her word. She's another Democratic Party betrayer. It is what
• 1:29:59
  Speaker 17: it is. And I hope she loses.
• 1:30:01
  Speaker 4: Wow.
• 1:30:02
  Speaker 2: I hope the people that are in your unions appreciate
• 1:30:05
  Speaker 2: what a great leader you are, man. You are a
• 1:30:06
  Speaker 2: great leader. And you got a nice jacket on today.
• 1:30:08
  Speaker 2: Where'd you get that? The garage in Brooklyn? Where'd you
• 1:30:11
  Speaker 2: get it?
• 1:30:11
  Speaker 23: No, I got it in Ireland, actually.
• 1:30:12
  Speaker 2: Oh, you did?
• 1:30:13
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:30:14
  Speaker 2: You're of Irish descent, obviously.
• 1:30:16
  Speaker 4: I am Irish.
• 1:30:17
  Speaker 2: What town are you from originally?
• 1:30:20
  Speaker 17: My mother is from Derry. My people are all in Derry.
• 1:30:23
  Speaker 2: No kidding.
• 1:30:23
  Speaker 23: Up in the north. I'm a north man.
• 1:30:25
  Speaker 2: Well, are they still there? They're here now.
• 1:30:26
  Speaker 23: Yeah. No, my mother's passed.
• 1:30:29
  Speaker 2: Oh, I'm sorry.
• 1:30:30
  Speaker 17: My whole family is in Ireland. I have more cousins
• 1:30:33
  Speaker 17: there than I do here.
• 1:30:35
  Speaker 2: No kidding.
• 1:30:35
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:30:36
  Speaker 2: Well, John, you're a great guy. You're doing a great
• 1:30:37
  Speaker 2: job with all this. The union people are very, very
• 1:30:39
  Speaker 2: lucky to have you. And you're welcome back here anytime.
• 1:30:42
  Speaker 2: You're a great American, even though you're an Irishman. Thank
• 1:30:43
  Speaker 2: you so much.
• 1:30:44
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 1:30:44
  Speaker 2: Thank you.
• 1:30:45
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 1:30:45
  Speaker 2: John Samuelson right there happens to be the president of
• 1:30:49
  Speaker 2: the Transport Workers Union. They're very lucky to have him.
• 1:30:52
  Speaker 2: He's a terrific guy. We'll take a short break. Come back. Oh,
• 1:30:55
  Speaker 2: we love this lady. Supposed to be on Friday, but
• 1:30:57
  Speaker 2: she's here on a Monday morning, eight days before the election.
• 1:31:00
  Speaker 2: Our dear friend Bernadette Castro.
• 1:31:03
  Speaker 3: Sid and friends in the morning on the Red Apple
• 1:31:07
  Speaker 3: Podcast Network.
• 1:31:09
  Speaker 26: Just a chance to be here for my favorite president,
• 1:31:12
  Speaker 26: President Donald Trump, here in our backyard.
• 1:31:17
  Speaker 2: So obviously midterms are coming up, man.
• 1:31:19
  Speaker 23: It's a big, big time.
• 1:31:20
  Speaker 26: November 3rd, I encourage everybody to get out and vote
• 1:31:23
  Speaker 26: and just super stoked to be here. One thing I
• 1:31:26
  Speaker 26: love about Trump is that, you know, he doesn't have
• 1:31:29
  Speaker 26: to do this. He's here because he wants to. He
• 1:31:31
  Speaker 26: fights for our country every single day. And I'm proud
• 1:31:39
  Speaker 26: to call him a friend and wouldn't want anybody else.
• 1:31:43
  Speaker 2: In charge right now. So we had Aldine this weekend.
• 1:31:46
  Speaker 2: He had Nicki Minaj's ass. He talked about that. That
• 1:31:49
  Speaker 2: was a great cut. This weekend. And we want Bebe
• 1:31:53
  Speaker 2: to win tomorrow on this show. And we want Republicans
• 1:31:55
  Speaker 2: to win in eight days, especially Bruce Blakeman. Here's our
• 1:31:59
  Speaker 2: dear friend back with Sid and Friends in the morning.
• 1:32:02
  Speaker 2: We're so happy to have her. The lovely and brilliant
• 1:32:04
  Speaker 2: Bernadette Castro. Good morning, Bernadette. How are you?
• 1:32:07
  Speaker 11: Oh, Sid, I'm great. And let me tell you something.
• 1:32:09
  Speaker 11: You and Danielle ought to run for the most fit
• 1:32:11
  Speaker 11: couple ever. In New York, period. I can't even go there.
• 1:32:15
  Speaker 11: I'm trying not to be jealous. Congrats one more time
• 1:32:18
  Speaker 11: on broadcasting Hall of Fame.
• 1:32:19
  Speaker 2: Thank you.
• 1:32:20
  Speaker 11: Well-deserved, overdue.
• 1:32:22
  Speaker 4: Thank you.
• 1:32:22
  Speaker 11: But right now, we got to talk about Blakeman. Okay,
• 1:32:25
  Speaker 11: yesterday I voted. Okay, so I'm telling your listeners, every
• 1:32:29
  Speaker 11: single one of them, early vote. You don't know if
• 1:32:32
  Speaker 11: you get a stomach virus. You don't know if a
• 1:32:34
  Speaker 11: child gets sick. Get out and vote and take people
• 1:32:38
  Speaker 11: with you. Take your mother. Take your brother. Take your friends.
• 1:32:42
  Speaker 11: This is going to be close. No one thought Zeldin
• 1:32:45
  Speaker 11: was going to be within six points, okay? What would
• 1:32:48
  Speaker 11: they have done? They would have given him money at
• 1:32:50
  Speaker 11: the end for TV ads, and they would have gotten
• 1:32:52
  Speaker 11: their butts out and voted. This is going to be
• 1:32:56
  Speaker 11: a close finish, and we need it to be in
• 1:32:58
  Speaker 11: Bruce's favor.
• 1:32:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Danielle voted yesterday, too. Yeah, no, you're right. I mean,
• 1:33:03
  Speaker 2: Sunday morning, and I was sitting there watching the Steelers
• 1:33:05
  Speaker 2: play the Saints in Paris, and Danielle was leaving the house.
• 1:33:08
  Speaker 2: I said, where are you going? She said, I'm going
• 1:33:10
  Speaker 2: to vote. And she voted for Bruce, of course. And
• 1:33:13
  Speaker 2: every Republican on the ticket, including Joe Hernandez. I like
• 1:33:15
  Speaker 2: Tom DiNapoli. He's a nice guy, but he's not the Republican. Okay, folks.
• 1:33:19
  Speaker 2: So make sure you vote for Joe Hernandez and Sarita
• 1:33:21
  Speaker 2: Caroline Schenkel coming up in about 30 minutes. But the
• 1:33:24
  Speaker 2: main one, as you talked about, is Bruce Brakeman. It
• 1:33:27
  Speaker 2: is going to be close. So when, not if, Bernadette Castro,
• 1:33:31
  Speaker 2: when Bruce Brakeman wins, why do you think he's going to?
• 1:33:35
  Speaker 2: What's going to be the difference?
• 1:33:37
  Speaker 11: Oh, he's going to make a huge difference. The first
• 1:33:39
  Speaker 11: executive order on his desk will be New York no
• 1:33:45
  Speaker 11: longer a sanctuary state. That will be huge. He will
• 1:33:48
  Speaker 11: take on the mayor, okay, who is embarrassing. I'm heading
• 1:33:53
  Speaker 11: to Florida in January. They think we're all socialists down there, okay?
• 1:33:57
  Speaker 11: They don't get it. We need Blakeman to straighten everybody
• 1:34:01
  Speaker 11: out in the country about New York State and what
• 1:34:03
  Speaker 11: a great state it is and what a great city
• 1:34:06
  Speaker 11: New York is. Kathy Hochul can't take on the mayor.
• 1:34:10
  Speaker 11: She campaigned with him. I was kind of sick to
• 1:34:12
  Speaker 11: my stomach. They were sitting next to each other at
• 1:34:15
  Speaker 11: the Al Smith dinner, and I was in the table
• 1:34:17
  Speaker 11: right in front of them in the dais. It was like, oh,
• 1:34:19
  Speaker 11: my God, this is New York. Are you freaking kidding me? Look,
• 1:34:24
  Speaker 11: we have a chance to do something, to get out
• 1:34:27
  Speaker 11: and vote. That's not a lot to ask. Send 20
• 1:34:31
  Speaker 11: bucks to Blakeman for governor. She's going to outspend him
• 1:34:34
  Speaker 11: this last week. Every dollar that can go into him
• 1:34:38
  Speaker 11: will go into broadcast advertising, which, by the way, this
• 1:34:42
  Speaker 11: is the most expensive cycle of the year. I used
• 1:34:45
  Speaker 11: to be a retailer. Castro convertibles. None of us bought
• 1:34:48
  Speaker 11: ads during the election cycle. Why? And I love John Katsimatidis.
• 1:34:52
  Speaker 11: He's a businessman. Because prices go way up.
• 1:34:55
  Speaker 2: Oh, way up. Did you hear that Bruce said this
• 1:34:57
  Speaker 2: the other day? Oh, I was with him. I hosted
• 1:35:00
  Speaker 2: one of his events. Really, it was John, AJ Katzmatidis,
• 1:35:04
  Speaker 2: their events, Suzanne Miller. But I ended up speaking for
• 1:35:07
  Speaker 2: 40 minutes because Bruce was late and then Bruce came
• 1:35:10
  Speaker 2: out there. Do you realize, Bernadette Castro, that according to
• 1:35:13
  Speaker 2: Bruce Blakeman, he is now spending, over the final eight
• 1:35:17
  Speaker 2: days here... $ 400, 000 a day. That's what it costs. $ 400, 000
• 1:35:25
  Speaker 2: a day.
• 1:35:26
  Speaker 11: It's a scary number. And after the election, I want
• 1:35:28
  Speaker 11: to talk about spending limits on campaigns and tough money,
• 1:35:32
  Speaker 11: but not right now. Right now, he needs the money. $ 20, $ 50, $ 100.
• 1:35:38
  Speaker 11: What do you spend on Starbucks every week, okay?
• 1:35:42
  Speaker 2: Over $ 100. You know, it's funny. You talk about the
• 1:35:45
  Speaker 2: commercial campaign because he does need the money, like you said,
• 1:35:47
  Speaker 2: to stay out there doing commercials and mostly TV. But
• 1:35:51
  Speaker 2: Radio 2, you hear his commercials on my show about
• 1:35:53
  Speaker 2: five times a day. But all she talks about in
• 1:35:56
  Speaker 2: her commercials is Trump. You know, I hear Mom Donnie
• 1:35:59
  Speaker 2: this moron talking about her resume and what she's done
• 1:36:02
  Speaker 2: for New York. And I've asked two or three times
• 1:36:04
  Speaker 2: this morning, give me one thing that she's done to
• 1:36:08
  Speaker 2: improve New York. One, not five, not ten.
• 1:36:11
  Speaker 11: She has driven more businesses to Florida, Texas, and Tennessee.
• 1:36:16
  Speaker 11: Let me tell you that right now. And I hope
• 1:36:18
  Speaker 11: the gentleman that you had on your show, forgive me
• 1:36:20
  Speaker 11: for not remembering the union.
• 1:36:21
  Speaker 2: John Samuelson. John Samuelson.
• 1:36:23
  Speaker 11: He's got to get his members out to vote because
• 1:36:26
  Speaker 11: Bruce Blakeman gets it. Okay. Republicans get it. We need
• 1:36:31
  Speaker 11: the unions. We need them to work hard. He will
• 1:36:34
  Speaker 11: support them. New York is a union state. Forget that.
• 1:36:37
  Speaker 11: He mentioned the South. This is New York. This is
• 1:36:40
  Speaker 11: where we are. This is the governor we need to elect.
• 1:36:43
  Speaker 11: She's not good for them.
• 1:36:45
  Speaker 2: He actually, you know, he said she was terrible for them.
• 1:36:47
  Speaker 2: I mean, right there, that's another piece that Bruce Blakeman
• 1:36:50
  Speaker 2: should use. Here's John Samuelson. He's in the news every
• 1:36:53
  Speaker 2: day over this ridiculous horse and carriage deal, which they're
• 1:36:56
  Speaker 2: lying about. They all want it because of the real estate.
• 1:36:59
  Speaker 2: And he said flat out, the nurses went on strike.
• 1:37:02
  Speaker 2: The Long Island Railroad went on strike. They're about to
• 1:37:04
  Speaker 2: crush the horse and carriage industry. These people are union killers.
• 1:37:09
  Speaker 11: Exactly. Thank you. And they're killers of business. Manhattan. you know,
• 1:37:15
  Speaker 11: all over the state. I mean, she used a lot
• 1:37:18
  Speaker 11: of taxpayer money for the Buffalo Bills, and I love
• 1:37:20
  Speaker 11: Josh Allen, but my goodness, should we have? And her
• 1:37:26
  Speaker 11: husband used to work for Delaware North, which is the
• 1:37:28
  Speaker 11: biggest operator in Buffalo of stadiums. He resigned because of
• 1:37:32
  Speaker 11: a conflict of interest, and he's now at a law firm.
• 1:37:35
  Speaker 2: Come on.
• 1:37:36
  Speaker 11: New Yorkers have to get smart, okay? Bruce Blakeman has
• 1:37:41
  Speaker 11: no agendas, okay? One agenda only. is to take New
• 1:37:45
  Speaker 11: York back, okay? My father started in this great city.
• 1:37:49
  Speaker 11: If it weren't for New York City and buildings going
• 1:37:52
  Speaker 11: vertical and all the things that happened when he started
• 1:37:55
  Speaker 11: Castro Convertibles, New York is my, I was born in
• 1:37:58
  Speaker 11: New York City. You know, it kills me when I
• 1:38:01
  Speaker 11: have to listen to Florida people because they don't get it. Okay,
• 1:38:05
  Speaker 11: Bruce Blakeman will make everyone across the United States get it.
• 1:38:09
  Speaker 11: And maybe the businesses won't be flocking to Miami. JP Morgan,
• 1:38:12
  Speaker 11: tons of jobs. Miami Beach. It's got to stop. Blakeman's
• 1:38:18
  Speaker 11: going to do it. He's going to do it for
• 1:38:19
  Speaker 11: the unions. He's going to do it for the private sector.
• 1:38:22
  Speaker 11: He's going to do it, but we've got to get
• 1:38:24
  Speaker 11: him in.
• 1:38:24
  Speaker 2: You've got to get him in. The correctional officers, too,
• 1:38:26
  Speaker 2: went on strike. She destroyed that, too, Kathy Hochul. You know,
• 1:38:29
  Speaker 2: if God forbid Bruce loses, and that's certainly a possibility
• 1:38:32
  Speaker 2: right now, in fact, according to the odds, it's a probability.
• 1:38:35
  Speaker 2: I'm not betting against Bruce. I think he's going to win.
• 1:38:37
  Speaker 2: But if he does lose, Bernadette Castro, when you go
• 1:38:41
  Speaker 2: to Florida in January, do you stay?
• 1:38:44
  Speaker 11: It's going to be very difficult what I say. I'm
• 1:38:47
  Speaker 11: going to say... Downstate did him in. New York City
• 1:38:52
  Speaker 11: did him in. Brooklyn, it's the downstaters. We've got the
• 1:38:55
  Speaker 11: rest of the state. He's got the independents by a
• 1:38:58
  Speaker 11: long shot, double digits. Okay, we need the urban New
• 1:39:02
  Speaker 11: York City people to understand the city will be better
• 1:39:07
  Speaker 11: because he will be able to take on the mayor.
• 1:39:10
  Speaker 11: I mean, she's got to cater to the far left.
• 1:39:12
  Speaker 11: She has no choice. She can't win without them. And
• 1:39:17
  Speaker 11: what's she going to do? Turn on the mayor the
• 1:39:19
  Speaker 11: day after Election Day? I don't think so.
• 1:39:22
  Speaker 2: No, no, no. She's going to be really right there
• 1:39:25
  Speaker 2: with him. She's going to raise taxes. All the things
• 1:39:28
  Speaker 2: that she says she's not going to do now because
• 1:39:31
  Speaker 2: if you're really watching this, she's scared to death of him.
• 1:39:35
  Speaker 2: Makes no sense. Governor has more power than the mayor.
• 1:39:37
  Speaker 2: We all know that. Except in this city where the
• 1:39:40
  Speaker 2: mayor runs the show. And really, across the whole country,
• 1:39:42
  Speaker 2: he's become the face of that whole party. That's why
• 1:39:45
  Speaker 2: A creep like Abdul El-Sayed's got a chance to win
• 1:39:47
  Speaker 2: out there in Michigan. And you get that low-life actor,
• 1:39:49
  Speaker 2: Mandy Patinkin, who I really can't stand, out there telling
• 1:39:53
  Speaker 2: everybody to go vote for El-Sayed because he understands what
• 1:39:57
  Speaker 2: it's like to be a Jew. Her sister worked with
• 1:39:59
  Speaker 2: the Muslim Brotherhood, you jerk-off. What are these people talking about?
• 1:40:03
  Speaker 11: I don't know, and I have a Jewish friend who's
• 1:40:05
  Speaker 11: going to, you know, not vote for Blake. And I said,
• 1:40:07
  Speaker 11: are you frigging kidding me? What are you doing? Okay,
• 1:40:12
  Speaker 11: we need people to think straight. We need them to
• 1:40:15
  Speaker 11: do their own homework. If they do their homework, there
• 1:40:19
  Speaker 11: is no good alternative except Blakeman to turn the state around,
• 1:40:24
  Speaker 11: to help get the city back on track because he
• 1:40:27
  Speaker 11: is strong. He will be. And by the way. Trump's
• 1:40:31
  Speaker 11: not going to control Blakeman. That's the most stupid thing
• 1:40:33
  Speaker 11: I've ever heard.
• 1:40:34
  Speaker 2: No, no, listen, they disagree on a bunch of things.
• 1:40:36
  Speaker 2: Blakeman wants to give immigrants who have been here for
• 1:40:40
  Speaker 2: a period of time and have not broken the law
• 1:40:43
  Speaker 2: and have been assets to their community, he wants to
• 1:40:45
  Speaker 2: protect them. President Trump has no interest in that. Blakeman
• 1:40:48
  Speaker 2: is pro-life. Excuse me, he's pro-choice. President Trump, at this point,
• 1:40:52
  Speaker 2: after 66 years, he went pro-life. So Blakeman... is on
• 1:40:56
  Speaker 2: the record at the debate. He said this. He said, Kathy,
• 1:40:59
  Speaker 2: you're a liar. I'm not with Trump all the time.
• 1:41:01
  Speaker 2: Just like this Kate Conley out in Rockland County. She
• 1:41:04
  Speaker 2: said Mike Lawler votes for Trump 100% of the time.
• 1:41:07
  Speaker 2: That's a flat-out lie. So these Democrats, whether it's Hochul
• 1:41:12
  Speaker 2: or Conley, any one of these animals, they have no
• 1:41:16
  Speaker 2: problem lying about who they're taking on in these elections.
• 1:41:20
  Speaker 11: Absolutely no problem lying. And it's so bad. I wish
• 1:41:24
  Speaker 11: the darn debate would have been seen by more people.
• 1:41:27
  Speaker 11: You can watch it on YouTube. If you haven't voted
• 1:41:29
  Speaker 11: yet and you're just trying to figure it out, go
• 1:41:32
  Speaker 11: to YouTube. Watch the debate that happened. OK, it's very
• 1:41:37
  Speaker 11: clear that she stumbles. She falls. She throws out Trump's name.
• 1:41:41
  Speaker 11: She's got no real answers. And he's looking at her.
• 1:41:45
  Speaker 11: I mean, it's kind of the way Trump looked at Biden,
• 1:41:48
  Speaker 11: to be honest with you. But he is not going
• 1:41:51
  Speaker 11: to be controlled by the president just because they're both
• 1:41:55
  Speaker 11: New Yorkers, right? Bruce Blakeman's been an incredible Nassau County executive.
• 1:41:59
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 1:41:59
  Speaker 11: We have the lowest crime rate. I live in Nassau.
• 1:42:02
  Speaker 11: We have the lowest crime rate in the country, in
• 1:42:06
  Speaker 11: the country. He added 400 new cops and he never
• 1:42:10
  Speaker 11: raised taxes. And he's going to cut utility bills for
• 1:42:14
  Speaker 11: every single New Yorker. Not a $ 100 rebate check, which
• 1:42:17
  Speaker 11: is a joke.
• 1:42:18
  Speaker 2: Ridiculous.
• 1:42:18
  Speaker 11: That was a political joke.
• 1:42:20
  Speaker 2: Insulting.
• 1:42:21
  Speaker 11: We see through that.
• 1:42:22
  Speaker 2: You're spending $ 1, 000 more. She's sending you $ 100. What good
• 1:42:25
  Speaker 2: is that? Bernadette, as always, you're great. We'll talk, of course,
• 1:42:29
  Speaker 2: again next week in and around Election Day. Let's get
• 1:42:32
  Speaker 2: you on Monday or Tuesday. Make sure people get out
• 1:42:34
  Speaker 2: there and vote. You do a great job with that.
• 1:42:36
  Speaker 2: with Bruce Blakeman. So we'll do it again next week.
• 1:42:38
  Speaker 2: Bernadette Castro, we love you. Great job today. Thank you
• 1:42:41
  Speaker 2: so much.
• 1:42:42
  Speaker 11: Love you, too. Bye.
• 1:42:42
  Speaker 2: All right, sweetheart. Take care. Bernadette Castro right there on
• 1:42:45
  Speaker 2: Sitting Friends in the morning. We've got to get to
• 1:42:47
  Speaker 2: the news. We've got three more great guests still to
• 1:42:49
  Speaker 2: come your way. It is Election Day here in the
• 1:42:51
  Speaker 2: United States in eight days. But like it or not,
• 1:42:53
  Speaker 2: I am America first. I am Israel second. And tomorrow,
• 1:42:57
  Speaker 2: big election for Bibi in Israel. We'll talk to Alex
• 1:43:00
  Speaker 2: Treyman coming up live from Jerusalem in the 9 o'clock hour.
• 1:43:04
  Speaker 3: Sid and Friends in the Morning on the Red Apple
• 1:43:08
  Speaker 3: Podcast Network.
• 1:43:10
  Speaker 2: And his masterpiece, 8 a.m. every Sunday morning, the Catch Roundtable.
• 1:43:15
  Speaker 2: This guy works. He's like Trump. Seven days a week,
• 1:43:18
  Speaker 2: 18 hours a day. He's with the Catholics. He's with
• 1:43:21
  Speaker 2: the Germans. He's with the Irish. He's with the Jews.
• 1:43:24
  Speaker 2: He's dressing up for Halloween. Do you ever get a
• 1:43:27
  Speaker 2: day off, John? You know something?
• 1:43:30
  Speaker 18: I want to accomplish every day. And that's what it's
• 1:43:34
  Speaker 18: all about. Uh, Trump, uh, he works very, very hard.
• 1:43:39
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah.
• 1:43:39
  Speaker 18: Um, but, but he's got a lot of his disposal.
• 1:43:43
  Speaker 18: I got a lot of my disposal too. I mean, uh, uh, but, uh,
• 1:43:46
  Speaker 18: the president of the United States, uh, I mean, he's
• 1:43:49
  Speaker 18: in different city every night and just five press conferences
• 1:43:53
  Speaker 18: a day. Um, look, he is dedicated, uh, to the
• 1:43:58
  Speaker 18: United States of America. And, uh, I, like you said,
• 1:44:01
  Speaker 18: I had, uh, uh, lunch yesterday with my daughter and
• 1:44:05
  Speaker 18: her German friends, and I believe Germany is realizing what
• 1:44:13
  Speaker 18: the heck is going on, that even though Trump is
• 1:44:16
  Speaker 18: a tough negotiator, the fact is he wants to keep
• 1:44:21
  Speaker 18: the free world free. And if you look at all
• 1:44:24
  Speaker 18: the priorities, look at all the priorities. Okay, tariffs, this, that, that.
• 1:44:31
  Speaker 18: The number one item. is keeping the free world free.
• 1:44:36
  Speaker 18: And if we don't allow him to be doing his
• 1:44:40
  Speaker 18: job every day for the next two years, two and
• 1:44:44
  Speaker 18: a half years, then you know who's going to suffer?
• 1:44:48
  Speaker 2: The taxpayers.
• 1:44:49
  Speaker 18: The deficit is $ 40 trillion.
• 1:44:52
  Speaker 2: You know why the deficit is $ 40 trillion?
• 1:44:55
  Speaker 18: It's because we had a lot of presidents that since, well,
• 1:45:01
  Speaker 18: Bill Clinton and Newt Gingrich, We were down from $ 5.
• 1:45:04
  Speaker 2: 5 trillion down to $ 5 trillion.
• 1:45:06
  Speaker 18: Since then, it went from $ 5 trillion to $ 40 trillion.
• 1:45:12
  Speaker 18: And why? Because we protected the world. We protected the
• 1:45:17
  Speaker 18: free world, and nobody negotiated the deal. President Trump is
• 1:45:24
  Speaker 18: a businessman. He says, look, we don't mind protecting the world.
• 1:45:29
  Speaker 2: It's our job. But everybody should protect. They pay their
• 1:45:33
  Speaker 2: two cents. Of course. And Europe, and I know you
• 1:45:37
  Speaker 2: say Germany may be starting to realize it, but they've
• 1:45:39
  Speaker 2: done a terrible job, Germany, for a long time.
• 1:45:41
  Speaker 4: Horrible.
• 1:45:42
  Speaker 2: Back to Merkel. And Paris is a mess. And London
• 1:45:44
  Speaker 2: is a mess. I mean, Italy got their issues. I mean,
• 1:45:48
  Speaker 2: Europe is gone, John. France, for sure. France is gone.
• 1:45:52
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:45:52
  Speaker 18: I mean, I had dinner last night with a good friend, Linda.
• 1:45:59
  Speaker 18: I won't mention last names.
• 1:46:01
  Speaker 11: And.
• 1:46:01
  Speaker 18: She just came back from Paris and she had pictures
• 1:46:05
  Speaker 18: and it looked like a 1977 Harlem riots.
• 1:46:07
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:46:08
  Speaker 18: And you know what it is with these people? I'm
• 1:46:12
  Speaker 18: going to tell you the truth because it started with normal,
• 1:46:16
  Speaker 18: normal crap, student riots. We want this, we want that.
• 1:46:20
  Speaker 18: We want better education. And you know what? The, then the,
• 1:46:25
  Speaker 18: The money came in.
• 1:46:27
  Speaker 2: The paid people.
• 1:46:27
  Speaker 18: The paid people would stir the pots and create riots.
• 1:46:31
  Speaker 2: Some of them paid. Some of them like these pro-Hamas people, pro-Palestinians,
• 1:46:35
  Speaker 2: just agitators.
• 1:46:37
  Speaker 18: They weren't using the French flag. They were using the
• 1:46:42
  Speaker 18: Palestinian flag.
• 1:46:43
  Speaker 2: But you know what?
• 1:46:44
  Speaker 18: Everybody out there should understand that.
• 1:46:46
  Speaker 2: But you know, the news never showed that.
• 1:46:49
  Speaker 18: They never showed that. But WABC tells you the truth.
• 1:46:53
  Speaker 18: And that's the difference between us. And the fact is
• 1:46:57
  Speaker 18: that they came in and stirred the pot. So what
• 1:47:01
  Speaker 18: I said to my German friends yesterday, my daughter's friends,
• 1:47:05
  Speaker 18: is that the evil empire right now, Russia and China.
• 1:47:13
  Speaker 2: And Iran and.
• 1:47:14
  Speaker 18: North Korea, they want to have a weaker President Trump.
• 1:47:21
  Speaker 18: But even our allies that are worried more about money
• 1:47:26
  Speaker 18: than the free world, they want a weaker Trump because
• 1:47:30
  Speaker 18: they want to continue to take advantage. If they continue
• 1:47:35
  Speaker 18: to take advantage of the United States of America, the
• 1:47:38
  Speaker 18: deficit will go to $ 50 trillion, $ 60 trillion, until you
• 1:47:42
  Speaker 18: reach the FU level someday, which could happen. It's going
• 1:47:48
  Speaker 18: to happen. Like President Trump. He does a favor for Venezuela,
• 1:47:53
  Speaker 18: but he took back trillions of dollars of oil. He
• 1:47:57
  Speaker 18: did a favor for Ukraine, but he took back all
• 1:48:03
  Speaker 18: the mineral rights to Ukraine. The other thing that came
• 1:48:08
  Speaker 18: up is this all started with President Obama. I'll tell
• 1:48:14
  Speaker 18: you why. It came up with the German conversation when
• 1:48:17
  Speaker 18: Putin wanted to be a member of the European community,
• 1:48:24
  Speaker 18: he wanted to be a European because he doesn't trust
• 1:48:27
  Speaker 18: the Chinese either. The Chinese will stab him in the
• 1:48:31
  Speaker 18: back in five minutes. And President Obama chased him away.
• 1:48:35
  Speaker 18: First of all, he made them, Putin was anti-gay. That's
• 1:48:41
  Speaker 18: what he likes, you know, the same thing as other
• 1:48:45
  Speaker 18: countries in Europe. And the Middle East. And Obama put
• 1:48:51
  Speaker 18: the Winter Olympics on the crap list.
• 1:48:54
  Speaker 2: If you remember. I do. He put the Winter Olympics
• 1:48:56
  Speaker 2: on the crap list. And why?
• 1:48:59
  Speaker 18: And then, and then he put, Putin put all his
• 1:49:03
  Speaker 18: money into the Winter Olympics. And he wanted to be
• 1:49:06
  Speaker 18: a member of the European community. He wanted to be
• 1:49:09
  Speaker 18: all together. And Obama didn't want that. And then Putin
• 1:49:13
  Speaker 18: wanted the Crimea. Yes.
• 1:49:14
  Speaker 2: He invaded, just like Biden did, just like Ukraine and
• 1:49:18
  Speaker 2: Russia under Biden. It's called getting even time.
• 1:49:21
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 1:49:21
  Speaker 18: Because the other thing he did is he knew how
• 1:49:25
  Speaker 18: much he banned the Winter Olympics. He knew how much
• 1:49:31
  Speaker 18: he wanted to go against Putin. And then what else
• 1:49:33
  Speaker 18: did he do? I guess we had a visit of
• 1:49:40
  Speaker 18: a delegation. He sent to stick it up, Putin's behind.
• 1:49:45
  Speaker 18: He sent a gay delegation to Putin.
• 1:49:49
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:49:50
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 1:49:51
  Speaker 18: Well, then Putin, listen, you're talking about a very proud guy.
• 1:49:54
  Speaker 18: He wanted to be a member of the European community.
• 1:49:58
  Speaker 18: What Trump is doing with the diesel fuel, it's what's
• 1:50:01
  Speaker 18: best for the United States of America. Not what's best
• 1:50:03
  Speaker 18: for the Ukraine. Not necessarily what's best for Israel. But
• 1:50:08
  Speaker 18: he's doing what's best for the United States of America.
• 1:50:11
  Speaker 18: I understand that.
• 1:50:11
  Speaker 2: He's the president of the United States. He's the president
• 1:50:13
  Speaker 2: of the United States. And by the way, he still
• 1:50:14
  Speaker 2: endorsed very enthusiastically Bibi Netanyahu. Well, that's 24 hours away.
• 1:50:18
  Speaker 2: What's going to happen, Sid? You're the expert on Israel.
• 1:50:21
  Speaker 2: You know what? I don't know what's going to happen.
• 1:50:22
  Speaker 2: I don't know either.
• 1:50:23
  Speaker 21: Yeah.
• 1:50:24
  Speaker 2: If I can lie to you and say he's going
• 1:50:25
  Speaker 2: to win, I don't know.
• 1:50:26
  Speaker 18: I like Netanyahu. By the way, Brazil, the Brazilian and
• 1:50:30
  Speaker 18: the Germans were very much.
• 1:50:31
  Speaker 2: Interested in him. The Brazilians were.
• 1:50:35
  Speaker 18: I guess the president that's there now got reelected for
• 1:50:39
  Speaker 18: the fourth term.
• 1:50:40
  Speaker 4: He didn't.
• 1:50:40
  Speaker 2: By the way, there was like millions and millions and
• 1:50:43
  Speaker 2: millions of votes in Brazil, John. Guess what happened? The
• 1:50:46
  Speaker 2: night of the election, they had the votes back. Only
• 1:50:49
  Speaker 2: in America do people lose elections days, if not weeks, later. Brazil,
• 1:50:55
  Speaker 2: millions and millions of votes. You won by four and
• 1:50:58
  Speaker 2: a half million votes. Yeah, you won by a lot
• 1:51:00
  Speaker 2: of votes.
• 1:51:00
  Speaker 4: I know.
• 1:51:01
  Speaker 18: By the way, I want to talk about the Cardinals.
• 1:51:04
  Speaker 18: We had a wonderful trip. A wonderful trip. I went
• 1:51:08
  Speaker 18: with the Cardinal. Margo stayed home because, you know, she
• 1:51:11
  Speaker 18: couldn't take— we were 16 hours on our feet.
• 1:51:15
  Speaker 2: That's a lot.
• 1:51:16
  Speaker 18: We visited the Most Holy Church in Buffalo. We did
• 1:51:21
  Speaker 18: the Buffalo— Oh, that's why you were in Buffalo. Well,
• 1:51:24
  Speaker 18: we did five, six different events.
• 1:51:26
  Speaker 2: I didn't know— okay, you were there.
• 1:51:27
  Speaker 18: We— we— we— Well, President Trump sees 30,000, 40,000 people. Me and
• 1:51:33
  Speaker 18: the Cardinal only saw 4,000 people in five events.
• 1:51:37
  Speaker 2: That's great.
• 1:51:37
  Speaker 18: But we went all day long. It was the first
• 1:51:40
  Speaker 18: time a Cardinal was in Buffalo in 30 years. The church,
• 1:51:47
  Speaker 18: the most beautiful church I've ever seen. the Catholic church
• 1:51:50
  Speaker 18: in Buffalo.
• 1:51:52
  Speaker 2: More beautiful than St. Patrick's Cathedral?
• 1:51:54
  Speaker 18: No, but the most beautiful church I've ever seen in Buffalo.
• 1:51:58
  Speaker 2: No, but let me tell you something. It was really beautiful.
• 1:52:01
  Speaker 2: It was beautiful.
• 1:52:01
  Speaker 18: The Polish people, there was 1,200 people there. And then
• 1:52:06
  Speaker 18: we went to the Buffalo Club. There was 400 or
• 1:52:08
  Speaker 18: 500 people there. You know what it is?
• 1:52:12
  Speaker 2: Those are hardworking people. Those are real Americans. Those are
• 1:52:16
  Speaker 2: good Americans. They go to work every day. Absolutely. I've
• 1:52:20
  Speaker 2: been to the football stadium there. It's freezing, too.
• 1:52:23
  Speaker 18: In the night, we had the dinner party with the
• 1:52:26
  Speaker 18: Polish people at night. And you know what I played back?
• 1:52:29
  Speaker 18: The one we play on WABC, the one with the
• 1:52:31
  Speaker 18: Polish president.
• 1:52:32
  Speaker 2: Oh, that's cool.
• 1:52:33
  Speaker 18: Says, I don't want our country to be invaded.
• 1:52:35
  Speaker 4: Cool.
• 1:52:35
  Speaker 18: We have a great country. We don't have any terrorism.
• 1:52:39
  Speaker 18: We don't have any, you know, we can walk around
• 1:52:43
  Speaker 18: and we don't want our country being invaded. And I
• 1:52:48
  Speaker 18: said that. I said that to the Germans. I said
• 1:52:50
  Speaker 18: that to the French.
• 1:52:51
  Speaker 2: The French.
• 1:52:52
  Speaker 18: The French, if they don't fix it right now. They're
• 1:52:54
  Speaker 18: not going to fix it. This guy, Macron, is the worst.
• 1:52:57
  Speaker 18: How many times have we saved their back in the
• 1:52:59
  Speaker 18: last 100 years? But Macron's the worst.
• 1:53:01
  Speaker 2: He's the worst. You know, you mentioned Cardinal Dolan, who's
• 1:53:04
  Speaker 2: a lovely, lovely man and really a hero in my opinion.
• 1:53:07
  Speaker 2: The archdiocese has agreed to pay out. $ 800 million. What
• 1:53:11
  Speaker 2: are your thoughts on that?
• 1:53:12
  Speaker 18: My thoughts is something is rotten in Denmark or something
• 1:53:15
  Speaker 18: is rotten.
• 1:53:16
  Speaker 2: But these are all cases, right?
• 1:53:18
  Speaker 18: But let's not look. These are all cases, but let's not,
• 1:53:24
  Speaker 18: it's wrong. If people were abused, it's wrong. And the
• 1:53:28
  Speaker 18: people that did it should be punished.
• 1:53:31
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 1:53:31
  Speaker 18: But let's not ruin the institution. Hey, you know, what
• 1:53:37
  Speaker 18: do you, by the way, it was 800 million for
• 1:53:39
  Speaker 18: New York. And, the Buffalo institution doesn't have any money.
• 1:53:43
  Speaker 2: You ready? It was 320 million for them. Ouch. Okay.
• 1:53:47
  Speaker 18: So let's not destroy our church institutions because that goes
• 1:53:52
  Speaker 18: along with the socialists. The socialists don't want the socialists
• 1:53:56
  Speaker 18: and communists don't want God. So what I say is
• 1:54:01
  Speaker 18: these settlements should be put aside. Just like, uh, baseball
• 1:54:06
  Speaker 18: or football, if you get hit by a baseball, you
• 1:54:10
  Speaker 18: can't sue for a zillion dollars. Our religious institutions should
• 1:54:16
  Speaker 18: be treated better than it is now. Let's not destroy
• 1:54:20
  Speaker 18: our religious institutions.
• 1:54:21
  Speaker 2: One more. I know you heard the John Samuelson conversation.
• 1:54:24
  Speaker 2: You and I are on the same page. I think
• 1:54:26
  Speaker 2: you spoke to President Trump about it. I'm not sure.
• 1:54:29
  Speaker 2: But this horse and carriage thing, you did. This has
• 1:54:32
  Speaker 2: nothing to do with the health of the horses. I'm sorry,
• 1:54:34
  Speaker 2: Bob Holden. Sorry, all you animal lovers. This is a
• 1:54:37
  Speaker 2: money grab.
• 1:54:39
  Speaker 18: I just want to see who got paid and how
• 1:54:41
  Speaker 18: much money they got paid in lobbying.
• 1:54:46
  Speaker 2: So there's no doubt in your mind, John, that these
• 1:54:48
  Speaker 2: people got paid to vote that way. And it's.
• 1:54:55
  Speaker 18: I asked, and I said it before on my show,
• 1:54:58
  Speaker 18: I asked the U.S. attorney to look into it because
• 1:55:01
  Speaker 18: the city, the state attorneys, and I'm not going to
• 1:55:05
  Speaker 18: look into it. It's part of the democratic situation in
• 1:55:08
  Speaker 18: New York. I'm sorry to say that, but somebody should
• 1:55:13
  Speaker 18: look into it. President Trump, I'm sure, is going to
• 1:55:15
  Speaker 18: ask the U.S. attorney to look at it. because we
• 1:55:18
  Speaker 18: shouldn't use money. The horses in Central Park, it's.
• 1:55:22
  Speaker 2: Part of the ambiance.
• 1:55:23
  Speaker 4: Of course.
• 1:55:24
  Speaker 2: It's part of the ambiance of Central Park.
• 1:55:25
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 1:55:26
  Speaker 2: We're going to destroy this.
• 1:55:28
  Speaker 18: And I said this to the powers that be at
• 1:55:29
  Speaker 18: City Hall, and I said that to the powers that
• 1:55:31
  Speaker 18: be in Albany.
• 1:55:32
  Speaker 2: You know what it is? You had one horse die.
• 1:55:36
  Speaker 2: You had one.
• 1:55:39
  Speaker 2: It's the end of the world. It's the end of
• 1:55:41
  Speaker 2: the world. Meanwhile, try to cross the street on 3rd Avenue.
• 1:55:45
  Speaker 18: These motorcycles, these bicycles are going 30 miles an hour,
• 1:55:48
  Speaker 18: 40 miles an hour.
• 1:55:48
  Speaker 2: 28 people killed.
• 1:55:49
  Speaker 23: 28 people.
• 1:55:52
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:55:53
  Speaker 2: Okay?
• 1:55:55
  Speaker 18: And this congestion pricing. Look at the amount of empty
• 1:55:57
  Speaker 18: stores in New York. I mean, it is really, really
• 1:56:02
  Speaker 18: horrible what's going on. They're trying to destroy New York City.
• 1:56:06
  Speaker 18: They're trying to destroy New York State. And I don't
• 1:56:08
  Speaker 18: want the exodus to continue. We love New York. So
• 1:56:11
  Speaker 18: I'm going to say fight, fight, fight for a better
• 1:56:14
  Speaker 18: New York.
• 1:56:14
  Speaker 2: That's what we do every day. You get the truth
• 1:56:16
  Speaker 2: right here with John Katzmatidis and Sid Rosenberg and the
• 1:56:18
  Speaker 2: whole crew. And one more in the final 30 seconds. You,
• 1:56:21
  Speaker 2: and I know Margo's not feeling what you talked about.
• 1:56:23
  Speaker 2: She couldn't do the Buffalo.
• 1:56:25
  Speaker 4: Her back.
• 1:56:25
  Speaker 2: She's all banged up. But she came out there Thursday
• 1:56:28
  Speaker 2: for me. She was there Thursday for me.
• 1:56:30
  Speaker 4: Oh, yes.
• 1:56:30
  Speaker 2: Yes, she was.
• 1:56:31
  Speaker 18: Let me tell you something. That was a great event.
• 1:56:34
  Speaker 2: Thank you. My two favorites, you and Rosanna Scotto. She
• 1:56:39
  Speaker 2: loves you, Rosanna Scotto. She loves you. She's a great lady.
• 1:56:42
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 1:56:43
  Speaker 2: And you did a great job. Thank you, John.
• 1:56:47
  Speaker 18: Who has Netanyahu and President Trump endorsing you for Hall
• 1:56:53
  Speaker 18: of Fame?
• 1:56:53
  Speaker 2: Not unbelievable.
• 1:56:54
  Speaker 18: And what I'm going to say to the people on
• 1:56:56
  Speaker 18: the national, I think next year you should be nominated
• 1:57:00
  Speaker 18: for the National Hall of Fame.
• 1:57:02
  Speaker 23: Let's do it. Me and you are going to Chicago
• 1:57:03
  Speaker 23: next year.
• 1:57:04
  Speaker 2: Absolutely. But when I get in, you got to promise
• 1:57:05
  Speaker 2: me one thing.
• 1:57:06
  Speaker 18: I got to go to Las Vegas. I thought the
• 1:57:08
  Speaker 18: thing was in Las Vegas last year.
• 1:57:09
  Speaker 2: Either way.
• 1:57:10
  Speaker 13: All right.
• 1:57:10
  Speaker 2: Either way, I get to travel on your plane. Absolutely.
• 1:57:14
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 1:57:14
  Speaker 4: Absolutely.
• 1:57:15
  Speaker 2: Let's make it happen. Great to see you. Great job today.
• 1:57:18
  Speaker 2: I love you. Thank you.
• 1:57:19
  Speaker 18: Keep fighting for our city, our state, our country.
• 1:57:21
  Speaker 4: You're a hero.
• 1:57:22
  Speaker 2: Thank you. God bless America. God bless you. You're a hero.
• 1:57:25
  Speaker 18: You know what I tell all our listeners out there?
• 1:57:28
  Speaker 18: Vote for America, whether you're a Democrat, whether you're independent
• 1:57:32
  Speaker 18: or whether you're Republican. Do the Republicans do everything right?
• 1:57:37
  Speaker 4: No. No.
• 1:57:38
  Speaker 18: Remember what Vice President Pence said on my show a
• 1:57:43
  Speaker 18: couple weeks ago. The Republicans are not doing everything right.
• 1:57:47
  Speaker 18: They make their version of mistakes. But the Democrats, they
• 1:57:51
  Speaker 18: have completely lost their minds.
• 1:57:53
  Speaker 2: That's what he said.
• 1:57:53
  Speaker 18: And you know what it is? A lot of common
• 1:57:55
  Speaker 18: sense Democrats that I love. I love a lot of
• 1:57:58
  Speaker 18: common sense Democrats that I love. But.
• 1:58:01
  Speaker 2: They're allowing the socialists to take over. Yeah, they're wanting scared.
• 1:58:04
  Speaker 2: They're wanting scared. Vote for America. Vote for New York
• 1:58:08
  Speaker 2: and vote for America. Thank you so much, Sid. God
• 1:58:10
  Speaker 2: bless you, John. I love you. Eight days away, the
• 1:58:11
  Speaker 2: amazing John Katzmatidis. Check him out this afternoon alongside Rita
• 1:58:15
  Speaker 2: Cosby at 5 o'clock. It's the Cats and Cosby Show,
• 1:58:18
  Speaker 2: and you've got to catch that Sunday morning show, 8 a.m. Well,
• 1:58:21
  Speaker 2: we're now on from 5 to 7.
• 1:58:23
  Speaker 11: Right.
• 1:58:24
  Speaker 18: And, well, you better tell your friend Mark Levin that
• 1:58:27
  Speaker 18: we might keep it. Oh, boy.
• 1:58:28
  Speaker 2: It's doing that well, huh? Is it doing that well?
• 1:58:31
  Speaker 2: Double the ratings of Mark Levin.
• 1:58:33
  Speaker 4: Oh, boy.
• 1:58:33
  Speaker 3: Sid and Friends in the Morning on the Red Apple
• 1:58:38
  Speaker 3: Podcast Network.
• 1:58:40
  Speaker 2: He wants to come back on this week. He credits
• 1:58:42
  Speaker 2: his appearance on this show with the reason why. One
• 1:58:45
  Speaker 2: of the reasons why I should say, one, that he's
• 1:58:48
  Speaker 2: actually winning now, I find that hard to believe, being
• 1:58:50
  Speaker 2: he's in Florida, we're in New York, but we've got
• 1:58:52
  Speaker 2: so many people who listen to this show in Florida
• 1:58:57
  Speaker 2: and New York who travel back and forth that I
• 1:59:00
  Speaker 2: believe it. I got guys in Connecticut reaching out to me.
• 1:59:03
  Speaker 2: Jersey doesn't stop. And New York will bring on Joe
• 1:59:07
  Speaker 2: Hernandez this week. Have him live in studio. Bruce Blakeman.
• 1:59:11
  Speaker 2: This young lady doesn't have to reach out to me.
• 1:59:13
  Speaker 2: I reach out to her. That's how much I respect her.
• 1:59:15
  Speaker 2: I think she's great. She's running for the old Jerry
• 1:59:17
  Speaker 2: Nadler seat, which is the Upper East Side, but the
• 1:59:20
  Speaker 2: Upper West Side as well. It's a big area. I
• 1:59:23
  Speaker 2: hosted one of her events at Dorian's. I believe it
• 1:59:27
  Speaker 2: was last month. It may have been the month before.
• 1:59:30
  Speaker 2: But she's everywhere. Every day on Instagram, I see Caroline
• 1:59:32
  Speaker 2: Schenkel and other New York person. She's everywhere doing a
• 1:59:35
  Speaker 2: great job. Her and her mother, who's a fantastic to
• 1:59:39
  Speaker 2: Carolyn Schenkel. So here she is running for the 12th
• 1:59:42
  Speaker 2: congressional district. My friend, Caroline Schenkel, Caroline, eight days away.
• 1:59:48
  Speaker 2: What are these next eight days look like for you?
• 1:59:52
  Speaker 11: Well, hi, Sid. Good morning.
• 1:59:53
  Speaker 21: It's such an honor to be with you.
• 1:59:55
  Speaker 4: Thank you.
• 1:59:55
  Speaker 21: And we're gonna win this. I have to tell you,
• 1:59:57
  Speaker 21: the energy, the momentum is with us. I've been out
• 2:00:00
  Speaker 21: at the early voting polling station starting on Saturday when
• 2:00:04
  Speaker 21: they opened. So many people telling us they voted for me,
• 2:00:07
  Speaker 21: they're about to vote for me, they're going to vote
• 2:00:09
  Speaker 21: for me. Some say I'm their one exception. They've never
• 2:00:12
  Speaker 21: voted for a Republican before ever in their entire lives,
• 2:00:14
  Speaker 21: but they're voting for me. The energy is with us.
• 2:00:17
  Speaker 21: And by the way, I just wanna address the elephant
• 2:00:19
  Speaker 21: in the room. Anybody who says that somebody like me,
• 2:00:22
  Speaker 21: a Republican, cannot win in a place like Manhattan, they
• 2:00:26
  Speaker 21: have no idea what they're talking about. I'm in the
• 2:00:28
  Speaker 21: district talking with voters every single day. I have been
• 2:00:31
  Speaker 21: since the outset of my campaign. And anyone who says
• 2:00:34
  Speaker 21: they know with absolute certainty who's going to win this
• 2:00:37
  Speaker 21: election either way is either trying to suppress attention and
• 2:00:40
  Speaker 21: excitement around my campaign. or they're fixing votes. There is
• 2:00:44
  Speaker 21: no way to know for sure who's going to win
• 2:00:46
  Speaker 21: an election. The voters decide, not closed-minded, locked-in observers on
• 2:00:50
  Speaker 21: the sidelines. So we're going to get this done.
• 2:00:52
  Speaker 2: I believe you. You're right about that. And I will
• 2:00:54
  Speaker 2: say this again. You're everywhere, all over Instagram, all over television,
• 2:00:58
  Speaker 2: just meeting and greeting people all day. Your opponent, who
• 2:01:02
  Speaker 2: I really don't like, it's personal. I don't like him,
• 2:01:04
  Speaker 2: Michael Asher. Don't even like him a little bit. I
• 2:01:06
  Speaker 2: don't see much of him. What has he been doing?
• 2:01:09
  Speaker 21: Well, the voters don't like him either, Sid.
• 2:01:11
  Speaker 24: He's very unpopular.
• 2:01:12
  Speaker 21: He's very radical. He's totally caved into the DSA. And
• 2:01:15
  Speaker 21: by the way, he does not campaign. He will not
• 2:01:18
  Speaker 21: debate me. In fact, just the other day, another debate
• 2:01:20
  Speaker 21: was canceled that was going to be for the two
• 2:01:23
  Speaker 21: of us because his team and he decided that he
• 2:01:25
  Speaker 21: didn't want to show up. He's out in Pennsylvania campaigning
• 2:01:29
  Speaker 21: for some other candidate out there. The other day he
• 2:01:31
  Speaker 21: was up in New York 17 campaigning for Mike Lawler's opponent.
• 2:01:35
  Speaker 21: So he's really treating us all like useful idiots and
• 2:01:38
  Speaker 21: taking every vote for granted. I don't appreciate it, Sid.
• 2:01:42
  Speaker 21: And that is why when I'm elected this November, I
• 2:01:45
  Speaker 21: will be sponsoring legislation requiring any candidate for federal office
• 2:01:48
  Speaker 21: to have to debate. If they want to be on
• 2:01:50
  Speaker 21: the ballot, because this mentality of total complacency, totally writing
• 2:01:55
  Speaker 21: off your own voters and really campaigning from the Joe
• 2:01:57
  Speaker 21: Biden school of hiding in your basement, it walks, it's wrong.
• 2:02:00
  Speaker 21: It's disrespectful to the voters and it will end.
• 2:02:03
  Speaker 2: Well, the cowards too. That's the bottom line. I mean,
• 2:02:05
  Speaker 2: you know, yeah, some of them look, some of them
• 2:02:07
  Speaker 2: are incumbents. He's not okay. Um, but if you're an incumbent, um,
• 2:02:11
  Speaker 2: and you continue to win, and the polls are close,
• 2:02:14
  Speaker 2: let me be honest. I'm not sure I'd debate either,
• 2:02:17
  Speaker 2: especially if I'm the weaker competitor. So if I'm Kathy Hochul, okay,
• 2:02:22
  Speaker 2: she's a coward and a clown, but after watching her
• 2:02:26
  Speaker 2: against Blakeman once, why would she want to do it again?
• 2:02:29
  Speaker 2: But in this case, this guy hasn't won anything yet.
• 2:02:32
  Speaker 2: Who the hell is he? He should absolutely have to
• 2:02:34
  Speaker 2: debate you.
• 2:02:34
  Speaker 21: 100% said, and let's remember, remember the no Kings protest
• 2:02:39
  Speaker 21: going on throughout Manhattan?
• 2:02:40
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 2:02:41
  Speaker 21: I would tell Lasher the same thing. He's treating this
• 2:02:43
  Speaker 21: like a coronation, not an election. It's a slap in
• 2:02:46
  Speaker 21: the face to all the voters of New York 12.
• 2:02:48
  Speaker 21: We are not to be taken for granted as we
• 2:02:50
  Speaker 21: have been by the Democrat Party for decades and decades.
• 2:02:53
  Speaker 24: The people are ready.
• 2:02:54
  Speaker 21: This is not a DSA district. This district did not
• 2:02:57
  Speaker 21: vote for Mondani last November. And by the way, I've
• 2:03:00
  Speaker 21: coined this term. It is not deep blue here. It
• 2:03:03
  Speaker 21: is infrared. We're is here. It's not going to get
• 2:03:07
  Speaker 21: picked up in polling, Sid, right? Because a lot of
• 2:03:09
  Speaker 21: people don't want to say they're voting Republican, but they
• 2:03:12
  Speaker 21: are thinking it and they will do it in the
• 2:03:13
  Speaker 21: comfort of the voting booth. What happens in the voting
• 2:03:15
  Speaker 21: booth stays in the voting booth. And so I would
• 2:03:18
  Speaker 21: encourage all your listeners to check out my website, carolinefornewyork.com
• 2:03:21
  Speaker 21: to learn more, but we're going to win this.
• 2:03:23
  Speaker 2: Did Mamdani endorse this clown?
• 2:03:26
  Speaker 21: No, but Mamdani did vote, and we know that he
• 2:03:29
  Speaker 21: voted for Lasher because there is no way that he
• 2:03:31
  Speaker 21: would ever vote for somebody like myself who really represents
• 2:03:33
  Speaker 21: everything that is opposite to Mamdani's thinking and worldview. Mamdani
• 2:03:38
  Speaker 21: is out to destroy New York City, out to destroy
• 2:03:41
  Speaker 21: the fabric of our society, and I am here to
• 2:03:43
  Speaker 21: restore it and to make New York City the most vibrant, prosperous,
• 2:03:48
  Speaker 21: safest city in the entire country. We're not going to
• 2:03:50
  Speaker 21: stand for this DSA BS. It walks, and the voters
• 2:03:54
  Speaker 21: are with us, Sid.
• 2:03:55
  Speaker 2: Did anybody endorse Michael Lasher?
• 2:03:58
  Speaker 21: Jerry Nadler did, which I think is a disqualification in
• 2:04:02
  Speaker 21: my book. And let's remember, I mean, Jerry Nadler was
• 2:04:05
  Speaker 21: there for 34 years, Sid, since before I was born.
• 2:04:08
  Speaker 21: And what did he do other than lead our city
• 2:04:11
  Speaker 21: into its current spiral of decline? Michael Lasher wants to
• 2:04:14
  Speaker 21: triple down on all the failed policies that have gotten
• 2:04:17
  Speaker 21: us into this position. He endorsed Mamdani immediately. He's totally
• 2:04:21
  Speaker 21: caved into the DSA. If you look at his platform,
• 2:04:23
  Speaker 21: it's all socialism. He has no idea what he's doing.
• 2:04:27
  Speaker 21: He will say anything and do anything other than debate
• 2:04:30
  Speaker 21: me in order to get elected, because for him, it's
• 2:04:32
  Speaker 21: all about power. But the people are taking their seat back.
• 2:04:35
  Speaker 21: And I have news for Michael Asher. This is not
• 2:04:38
  Speaker 21: Jerry Nadler's seat to pass down from himself, one corrupt
• 2:04:41
  Speaker 21: politician to another. It is the people's seat. And we
• 2:04:44
  Speaker 21: are taking it back in a couple of days.
• 2:04:46
  Speaker 2: Say that again. That was so hot. Say it again.
• 2:04:49
  Speaker 21: This is not Jerry Nadler's seat, New York 12. This seat,
• 2:04:53
  Speaker 21: it is the people's seat. It belongs to.
• 2:04:55
  Speaker 4: Us, the people.
• 2:04:56
  Speaker 21: And we're taking it back in a couple of days.
• 2:04:58
  Speaker 21: November 3rd said we're going to make history when we
• 2:05:00
  Speaker 21: take back this seat and show that Manhattan is back,
• 2:05:04
  Speaker 21: that New York City is back and that we're open
• 2:05:06
  Speaker 21: for business.
• 2:05:06
  Speaker 2: Give me the three policies that you differ most from Lasher.
• 2:05:12
  Speaker 2: I think Lasher is Jewish, but to me, he's a
• 2:05:14
  Speaker 2: crappy Jew. He's like Mandy Patinkin, who's really a lowlife.
• 2:05:18
  Speaker 2: He's like Jamie Raskin and, I don't know, Jareen Dadler,
• 2:05:22
  Speaker 2: who you just mentioned, and Chuck Schumer at this point,
• 2:05:24
  Speaker 2: according to Trump, is a Palestinian. So I know Israel
• 2:05:27
  Speaker 2: is one of them. Give me the three policies that
• 2:05:30
  Speaker 2: really separate the two of you.
• 2:05:32
  Speaker 21: Everything said, it is night and day. I stand for success.
• 2:05:35
  Speaker 21: I stand for capitalism. I stand for economic empowerment. While
• 2:05:39
  Speaker 21: I want to protect your paycheck and let Americans keep
• 2:05:41
  Speaker 21: more of what they earn because I believe your labor
• 2:05:43
  Speaker 21: and your paycheck belongs to you, Lasher wants to raise taxes.
• 2:05:47
  Speaker 21: He wants universal everything for everyone with no conception whatsoever.
• 2:05:51
  Speaker 21: of how to pay for anything. And that will just
• 2:05:53
  Speaker 21: lead us into universal bankruptcy. It doesn't work on the
• 2:05:57
  Speaker 21: issue of Israel and antisemitism. It is people like Lasher
• 2:06:00
  Speaker 21: and Jerry Nadler who have allowed the DSA to hijack
• 2:06:02
  Speaker 21: the Democrat Party. Lasher is silent. He has never called
• 2:06:06
  Speaker 21: Mamdani out for anything, including Mamdani's horrific statements. On the
• 2:06:10
  Speaker 21: third anniversary of October 7th, Lasher said nothing. And we
• 2:06:14
  Speaker 21: see this anti-Semitic and anti-Israel rhetoric translating into anti-Semitic violence
• 2:06:19
  Speaker 21: in our streets. Lasher is silent. And the third I'll
• 2:06:22
  Speaker 21: say is I am pro-public safety. I am pro-law enforcement.
• 2:06:25
  Speaker 21: I back the blue 100%. And while I am out
• 2:06:28
  Speaker 21: there backing the blue and making sure that our law
• 2:06:30
  Speaker 21: enforcement have the resources they need to actually tackle crime
• 2:06:33
  Speaker 21: and keep our community safe, Lasher is out advocating for
• 2:06:36
  Speaker 21: the wholesale release of a dangerous career criminal who is
• 2:06:40
  Speaker 21: in our country illegally, that Oscar Bell individual. That is radical,
• 2:06:45
  Speaker 21: said the American people don't support that. And I don't
• 2:06:47
  Speaker 21: care what anyone's views on ICE are, but letting a
• 2:06:50
  Speaker 21: dangerous career criminal with ties to a criminal gang out
• 2:06:53
  Speaker 21: on our streets, that is radical. It endangers all of
• 2:06:57
  Speaker 21: us and it's disqualifying.
• 2:06:58
  Speaker 2: You know, on the way out, I see you again
• 2:07:00
  Speaker 2: on Instagram every day and all the social media, you
• 2:07:03
  Speaker 2: with somebody else. in the community, somebody well-known. It's nice
• 2:07:06
  Speaker 2: to see that. But a couple of you folks that
• 2:07:09
  Speaker 2: are running on the Republican ticket, even though you make
• 2:07:11
  Speaker 2: it very, very clear, yes, I'm running as a Republican,
• 2:07:14
  Speaker 2: but I'm a common-sense candidate. And you are. I can
• 2:07:17
  Speaker 2: vouch for you for that. But I look at Bruce
• 2:07:19
  Speaker 2: Blakeman running for governor. You've been with him quite a bit.
• 2:07:22
  Speaker 2: Sarita running for attorney general. She demolished Letitia James in
• 2:07:26
  Speaker 2: their debate on television a couple of weeks ago. Some
• 2:07:30
  Speaker 2: of these people that are running on the right side
• 2:07:32
  Speaker 2: of this ballot, where my wife did vote for all
• 2:07:35
  Speaker 2: of you yesterday, it is a pretty impressive group, a
• 2:07:39
  Speaker 2: pretty impressive bunch, and it looks like you try to
• 2:07:41
  Speaker 2: spend as much time as you can with these other candidates.
• 2:07:45
  Speaker 21: Absolutely said. We have a lot of incredible candidates running,
• 2:07:48
  Speaker 21: I think, for the first time in a long time.
• 2:07:50
  Speaker 21: Such a strong slate of common sense Republicans. And I think,
• 2:07:54
  Speaker 21: you know, I've always approached this from the perspective of
• 2:07:57
  Speaker 21: it is not Republican versus Democrat. It is not right.
• 2:08:00
  Speaker 4: Versus blue. It's about common sense.
• 2:08:02
  Speaker 21: It's about saving our city, saving our state, and really
• 2:08:05
  Speaker 21: saving Western civilization. And we talk a lot about this
• 2:08:08
  Speaker 21: red-green alliance, very, very dangerous. But you know what we're
• 2:08:11
  Speaker 21: building in New.
• 2:08:12
  Speaker 4: York 12, Sid?
• 2:08:13
  Speaker 21: A red-blue alliance, Democrats, Republicans coming together, supporting me, supporting
• 2:08:19
  Speaker 21: pro-USA values, pro-New York City values, capitalism, economic empowerment, public safety.
• 2:08:24
  Speaker 21: This is what the people want. And it doesn't matter
• 2:08:26
  Speaker 21: what your party is, what your political affiliation is, what
• 2:08:29
  Speaker 21: your religion is. It matters whether you are an American
• 2:08:33
  Speaker 21: and you love your country and you love your city.
• 2:08:34
  Speaker 21: If you do, then you are with me and my movement,
• 2:08:37
  Speaker 21: plain and simple, and it's happening. This is a massive
• 2:08:40
  Speaker 21: political realignment, Sid, the likes of which we've not seen
• 2:08:43
  Speaker 21: since FDR. So this is happening. And I always say,
• 2:08:47
  Speaker 21: we had a miracle in Manhattan a couple months ago.
• 2:08:49
  Speaker 21: Let's not forget with the Knicks. And so we're making
• 2:08:52
  Speaker 21: it happen. This is round two. And the Knicks had
• 2:08:56
  Speaker 21: a worse record, Sid, than the Republicans do in this district.
• 2:09:00
  Speaker 2: And they did it. And the Knicks are yet to
• 2:09:02
  Speaker 2: win a game this year. Mind you, they're 0-3. They
• 2:09:04
  Speaker 2: lost again last night. So it must have been a miracle.
• 2:09:07
  Speaker 2: On the way out, Caroline for New York. Is that
• 2:09:09
  Speaker 2: the number four or the letters F-O-R?
• 2:09:13
  Speaker 21: It's F-O-R. We spell it all out. I would love
• 2:09:16
  Speaker 21: for all of your listeners to take a look at
• 2:09:17
  Speaker 21: my website, take a look at the movement that we've
• 2:09:20
  Speaker 21: built here, and help us make history. Please vote for me.
• 2:09:23
  Speaker 21: Vote Caroline Schenkel for Congress in New York 12, and
• 2:09:27
  Speaker 21: let's take back our city.
• 2:09:29
  Speaker 2: You really are one of my favorite politicians in New
• 2:09:31
  Speaker 2: York and New York City, maybe ever. So I'm happy
• 2:09:34
  Speaker 2: for you. You're doing a terrific job, you and your mom,
• 2:09:36
  Speaker 2: who's Beautiful, Carolyn, and you're running a great campaign. So
• 2:09:40
  Speaker 2: I'll tell you this, if you don't win, then I've
• 2:09:42
  Speaker 2: lost all hope in New York City because you're the
• 2:09:43
  Speaker 2: best candidate I've seen in a very, very long time.
• 2:09:46
  Speaker 2: Excellent job, Caroline. Good luck. We'll talk again before next Tuesday.
• 2:09:50
  Speaker 2: Thank you so much.
• 2:09:50
  Speaker 21: Thank you so much, Ted. God bless.
• 2:09:53
  Speaker 2: God bless you. Caroline Schenkel right there, District 12, Congress,
• 2:09:57
  Speaker 2: the obvious choice. What a lovely day. Smart, great woman,
• 2:10:01
  Speaker 2: my friend Caroline. We'll take a break. We've got the
• 2:10:03
  Speaker 2: news still to come. Big election tomorrow in Israel.
• 2:10:07
  Speaker 3: Sid and friends in the morning on the Red Apple
• 2:10:11
  Speaker 3: Podcast Network.
• 2:10:13
  Speaker 2: Great time to go to a bye week for the Giants.
• 2:10:16
  Speaker 2: 4-2-1 atop the NFC East. No one else in that
• 2:10:20
  Speaker 2: division is even playing 500 football. Somebody will get close tonight.
• 2:10:25
  Speaker 2: The Eagles or the Cowboys will get to 3-4. One
• 2:10:29
  Speaker 2: of them will fall to 2-5, which is very bad.
• 2:10:33
  Speaker 2: The Redskins are already shot. So the Giants, J.J. McCarthy,
• 2:10:38
  Speaker 2: talked about it very early this morning. If he continues
• 2:10:41
  Speaker 2: to play the way he has, it's only been five quarters,
• 2:10:46
  Speaker 2: but he's a young guy. He was a terrific college
• 2:10:49
  Speaker 2: quarterback at Michigan. He got buried in Minnesota. I thought
• 2:10:52
  Speaker 2: too quickly. If he continues to play well like this.
• 2:10:57
  Speaker 2: Next year, we're going to have a quarterback controversy when
• 2:11:00
  Speaker 2: Jackson Dart comes back healthy. Dart or McCarthy. Again, long
• 2:11:05
  Speaker 2: way to go. Giants have played seven games. That means
• 2:11:07
  Speaker 2: there's 10 left. And assuming J.J. Stout's healthy, I hope
• 2:11:12
  Speaker 2: he does, he's got to play well the whole way.
• 2:11:14
  Speaker 2: But at least early on here, he may have a
• 2:11:18
  Speaker 2: huge quarterback controversy brewing in New York between J.J. McCarthy,
• 2:11:24
  Speaker 2: young guy, and Jackson Dart, young guy. No issues with
• 2:11:28
  Speaker 2: the Jets. They stink and they may have embarrassed themselves.
• 2:11:33
  Speaker 2: More than a long time, the Dolphins are winless. And
• 2:11:36
  Speaker 2: there's a brutal, ugly rivalry between the Dolphins and the Jets,
• 2:11:40
  Speaker 2: as it is. Trust me, I did sports talk radio
• 2:11:43
  Speaker 2: in South Florida for 11 years. Okay? They want to
• 2:11:47
  Speaker 2: beat the Jets more than win the Super Bowl. So
• 2:11:51
  Speaker 2: you got a winless Dolphin team on your own field.
• 2:11:54
  Speaker 2: You don't use your timeouts again. At the end of
• 2:11:56
  Speaker 2: the first half, Aaron Glenn lost. And you find a
• 2:12:00
  Speaker 2: way to lose that football game because you can't stop
• 2:12:04
  Speaker 2: Malik Willis or Ali Gordon. And you got major issues.
• 2:12:08
  Speaker 2: The Jets are an embarrassment. And one more note, it's early,
• 2:12:12
  Speaker 2: but the New York teams are yet to win. a
• 2:12:15
  Speaker 2: basketball game. The Knicks and Nets are combined 0-6. The
• 2:12:20
  Speaker 2: World Champs, 0-3. Losses to Philly, Boston, and last night, Orlando.
• 2:12:26
  Speaker 2: And the Brooklyn Nets, 0-3. Take a short break. Big
• 2:12:29
  Speaker 2: election day coming up in eight days in America, but
• 2:12:32
  Speaker 2: a huge one tomorrow in Israel. Will Bibi Netanyahu retain power?
• 2:12:38
  Speaker 2: Alex Treyman, live in Jerusalem. He's next.
• 2:12:42
  Speaker 3: Sid and Friends in the Morning on the Red Apple
• 2:12:45
  Speaker 3: Podcast Network.
• 2:12:48
  Speaker 2: Nobody knows more about everything about Israel, everything, than Alex Treyman,
• 2:12:52
  Speaker 2: the CEO of JNS.org. And, you know, I don't have
• 2:12:56
  Speaker 2: to introduce him anymore on this show. He's been on
• 2:12:57
  Speaker 2: about 500 times. Alex, good afternoon there in Jerusalem. How
• 2:13:02
  Speaker 2: are you, buddy?
• 2:13:03
  Speaker 4: Good morning, Sid. Good morning, New York.
• 2:13:05
  Speaker 2: Good morning to you. So I did speak very early
• 2:13:08
  Speaker 2: this morning, New York time, which was close to noon,
• 2:13:10
  Speaker 2: your time at that time, to Dr. Ophiel Falk, happen
• 2:13:14
  Speaker 2: to be BB's senior policy advisor. And he said to
• 2:13:17
  Speaker 2: me he thinks it's going to be very, very close tomorrow.
• 2:13:19
  Speaker 2: What do you think?
• 2:13:21
  Speaker 14: That's what everybody's saying over here. It doesn't look like
• 2:13:24
  Speaker 14: anybody is soaring to an obvious victory. It's not certain
• 2:13:30
  Speaker 14: whether either. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will emerge victorious with
• 2:13:35
  Speaker 14: an easy path toward a 61-member majority coalition, or if
• 2:13:40
  Speaker 14: Netanyahu's chief challenger, Gadi Eisenkot, will be able to form
• 2:13:44
  Speaker 14: a government. And that could leave us either spiraling into
• 2:13:48
  Speaker 14: another round of elections amidst a lot of uncertainty geopolitically
• 2:13:55
  Speaker 14: in the region, or whether whether sane forces will prevail
• 2:14:01
  Speaker 14: and opponents could actually sit together and form some kind
• 2:14:05
  Speaker 14: of a unity coalition.
• 2:14:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I was having dinner with my family this weekend.
• 2:14:09
  Speaker 2: My daughter's not a fan of Bibi, unfortunately, not at all.
• 2:14:12
  Speaker 2: And she's like, well, she started explaining to me why
• 2:14:15
  Speaker 2: Eisencott is a good candidate. She even brought up Naftali Bennett.
• 2:14:19
  Speaker 2: And I said, that backstabbing son of a bitch, he
• 2:14:21
  Speaker 2: doesn't care about Israel. All he wants to be is
• 2:14:23
  Speaker 2: prime minister. That's all that guy cares about. That's it.
• 2:14:26
  Speaker 2: You didn't seem to agree, but I think you'll agree,
• 2:14:28
  Speaker 2: or no?
• 2:14:31
  Speaker 14: Well, when Netanyahu became the prime minister, he did so
• 2:14:34
  Speaker 14: with six mandates out of 120, meaning that 95% of
• 2:14:39
  Speaker 14: the country did not vote for him. And this is
• 2:14:42
  Speaker 14: the difficulty of the parliamentary system here in Israel. I mean,
• 2:14:45
  Speaker 14: if Prime Minister Netanyahu... does very, very well in the
• 2:14:48
  Speaker 14: elections tomorrow, he would get 30 seats out of 120.
• 2:14:52
  Speaker 14: That means that 25% of the population voted for him.
• 2:14:57
  Speaker 14: And for Eisenkato, it would be the same. It could
• 2:15:00
  Speaker 14: be 20, 25% of the population votes for him. And
• 2:15:02
  Speaker 14: then it's just a question of whether the other parliamentarians
• 2:15:06
  Speaker 14: will decide to get in line and form a majority
• 2:15:10
  Speaker 14: coalition of many parties. in order to be able to govern.
• 2:15:13
  Speaker 14: And what happened when Bennett became the prime minister is
• 2:15:16
  Speaker 14: that the opposition basically colluded against Netanyahu. In that election,
• 2:15:21
  Speaker 14: when Bennett became prime minister, Netanyahu got 30 seats. Yair
• 2:15:25
  Speaker 14: Lapid had the second largest party with 17 seats. That's
• 2:15:29
  Speaker 14: a landslide in Israeli elections. However, Lapid, Bennett, and the
• 2:15:33
  Speaker 14: rest of the opposition colluded to put Bennett as the
• 2:15:37
  Speaker 14: prime ministerial candidate to block Netanyahu from forming a government.
• 2:15:40
  Speaker 2: That's scummy, no?
• 2:15:43
  Speaker 14: Well, it seems pretty illegitimate. Number one, because Bennett himself
• 2:15:47
  Speaker 14: went on to national television multiple times and said that
• 2:15:52
  Speaker 14: he thought it would be completely inappropriate in a democracy
• 2:15:55
  Speaker 14: for somebody who gets less than 10 mandates, which really
• 2:15:58
  Speaker 14: should have said 20 or 25, to become prime minister.
• 2:16:01
  Speaker 14: And he did it with six. He also went on
• 2:16:03
  Speaker 14: to national television. and signed a document saying that he
• 2:16:06
  Speaker 14: wouldn't create any kind of a rotation agreement to become
• 2:16:09
  Speaker 14: prime minister with Yair Lapid. He signed it on national TV,
• 2:16:13
  Speaker 14: held it up to the camera, and three weeks later,
• 2:16:15
  Speaker 14: that's exactly what he did. So I think there's a
• 2:16:17
  Speaker 14: lot of Israelis that don't feel that he's a trustworthy candidate,
• 2:16:21
  Speaker 14: and he's not really in line to be prime minister.
• 2:16:24
  Speaker 14: At the same time, other members of the parliament are saying, hey,
• 2:16:28
  Speaker 14: wait a second, if this guy could accede and become
• 2:16:31
  Speaker 14: prime minister... without having these votes, essentially being a kingmaker,
• 2:16:35
  Speaker 14: a coalition kingmaker. So there's others like Avigdor Lieberman and
• 2:16:40
  Speaker 14: others that are looking to see if there's a pathway
• 2:16:42
  Speaker 14: for them to do the same thing. And so... You know,
• 2:16:46
  Speaker 14: it's a very complicated situation here in which you really
• 2:16:48
  Speaker 14: don't even vote for the prime minister. You only vote
• 2:16:50
  Speaker 14: for a party. And then the parliamentarians who are not
• 2:16:53
  Speaker 14: picked in any kind of a primary are actually the
• 2:16:57
  Speaker 14: ones who select who will be the prime minister.
• 2:17:00
  Speaker 2: Now, Eisenkot, correct me if I'm wrong, was on the
• 2:17:02
  Speaker 2: military side of things. and worked with bb i guess
• 2:17:06
  Speaker 2: he did but you'll tell me differently worked with bb
• 2:17:09
  Speaker 2: but he's another guy that just wants to be prime
• 2:17:11
  Speaker 2: minister and look i get very angry when people pin
• 2:17:14
  Speaker 2: 9-11 on george bush yes we had intelligence it was
• 2:17:18
  Speaker 2: going to happen before yes we did nothing about it
• 2:17:20
  Speaker 2: but you know the thought of crashing planes into a
• 2:17:24
  Speaker 2: building while we may have known something Seems still far-fetched.
• 2:17:27
  Speaker 2: Same thing with what happened October 7th. I can't pin
• 2:17:30
  Speaker 2: it on Bibi. I know he's going to have to
• 2:17:31
  Speaker 2: pay for this eventually, maybe even tomorrow. But to pin
• 2:17:35
  Speaker 2: it on Bibi seems unfair to me. And that's exactly
• 2:17:38
  Speaker 2: what Eisenkot is doing, no?
• 2:17:41
  Speaker 14: Well, the opposition who's been opposed to Netanyahu from way
• 2:17:44
  Speaker 14: before October 7 are trying to pin this event exclusively
• 2:17:49
  Speaker 14: on Netanyahu. And what they want to do is make
• 2:17:53
  Speaker 14: Netanyahu where the buck stops to the exclusion of all
• 2:17:57
  Speaker 14: the intelligence agencies and security agencies that also should have
• 2:18:01
  Speaker 14: been ultimately responsible for preventing what happened.
• 2:18:05
  Speaker 2: On October 7.
• 2:18:06
  Speaker 14: Netanyahu wants to heap all the blame on the intelligence
• 2:18:10
  Speaker 14: and security. organizations, organs. And so, you know, that's the
• 2:18:17
  Speaker 14: big difference in determining who's really responsible. And the right
• 2:18:20
  Speaker 14: answer is that it's a combination of both. But I
• 2:18:23
  Speaker 14: think for Israelis, you know, you shouldn't be voting only
• 2:18:27
  Speaker 14: on what happened three years ago on October 7th. You
• 2:18:29
  Speaker 14: should be voting on what happened since October 8th and
• 2:18:32
  Speaker 14: the success of the war's on the fronts against Hamas, Hezbollah,
• 2:18:37
  Speaker 14: the Houthis, and most importantly, Iran. But really, what you
• 2:18:40
  Speaker 14: should be voting for is not on what happened in
• 2:18:42
  Speaker 14: the last three or four years, but on who you
• 2:18:44
  Speaker 14: think is going to be the best one to lead
• 2:18:48
  Speaker 14: Israel in these next four years. And even more importantly,
• 2:18:52
  Speaker 14: in these last two years in which President Trump is
• 2:18:55
  Speaker 14: going to be the president.
• 2:18:57
  Speaker 2: Let me answer that for you. Bibi and Trump are
• 2:18:58
  Speaker 2: already great friends. Trump has doubled down on his endorsement
• 2:19:01
  Speaker 2: for Bibi just yesterday. Last I checked, Bibi has done
• 2:19:05
  Speaker 2: a great job wiping out, wiping out a lot of terrorists, thousands,
• 2:19:09
  Speaker 2: thousands who want to destroy America and Israel all over
• 2:19:12
  Speaker 2: the world. He has deeply, deeply taken out all these
• 2:19:16
  Speaker 2: terror proxies, okay? He's done a great job helping America
• 2:19:20
  Speaker 2: defeat Iran. And last I checked, most importantly, back home
• 2:19:24
  Speaker 2: in Israel, correct me if I'm wrong, is your economy
• 2:19:27
  Speaker 2: not very, very strong these days?
• 2:19:32
  Speaker 14: The Economist just came out with an article showing that
• 2:19:36
  Speaker 14: Israel is projected for 4.5% growth in GDP for this
• 2:19:41
  Speaker 14: coming year, which is the most of any country in
• 2:19:43
  Speaker 14: the OCD. So the Israeli economy is booming despite the war,
• 2:19:49
  Speaker 14: or perhaps even because of the war. And certainly Netanyahu
• 2:19:53
  Speaker 14: has been the leader of the economic revolution in Israel,
• 2:19:56
  Speaker 14: turning this country of the last 20 years from a
• 2:19:59
  Speaker 14: developing nation into a first world economy whose GDP is
• 2:20:03
  Speaker 14: now even greater than that of Great Britain. But, you know,
• 2:20:06
  Speaker 14: the hatred here of Netanyahu among the Israeli left is very,
• 2:20:11
  Speaker 14: very strong. And that's also fed and led by most
• 2:20:16
  Speaker 14: of the Israeli media who have turned on Netanyahu long
• 2:20:20
  Speaker 14: ago and continue to fan the opposition of Netanyahu. So,
• 2:20:26
  Speaker 14: you know, Netanyahu, he's the most popular politician in Israel
• 2:20:29
  Speaker 14: and the most unpopular. And the last five elections that
• 2:20:34
  Speaker 14: we had before this government, they all came down to
• 2:20:36
  Speaker 14: the wire. And this one looks like it's going to
• 2:20:39
  Speaker 14: come down to the wire as well.
• 2:20:40
  Speaker 2: Most popular and most disliked. That sounds familiar. Weaponizing the
• 2:20:44
  Speaker 2: DOJ in your own country against your leader. That sounds familiar.
• 2:20:50
  Speaker 2: Flying in people from all over the world to vote
• 2:20:53
  Speaker 2: against Trump. Bibi Netanyahu, that sounds familiar. I mean, really,
• 2:20:57
  Speaker 2: if you're a supporter of President Trump, let alone a
• 2:21:00
  Speaker 2: friend like me, their circumstances are almost exactly alike. Are
• 2:21:06
  Speaker 2: they not?
• 2:21:08
  Speaker 14: Yeah, there's a lot of similarities. There's also a lot
• 2:21:11
  Speaker 14: of differences. I mean, Trump, you see how he operates
• 2:21:14
  Speaker 14: and how he talks. You know, Netanyahu is a very
• 2:21:16
  Speaker 14: polished statesman. Everything that comes out of his mouth is
• 2:21:19
  Speaker 14: extremely calculated. He never says things that are rude or
• 2:21:24
  Speaker 14: curses out the side of his mouth or in tweets.
• 2:21:27
  Speaker 14: You know, he really does operate as a, you know,
• 2:21:30
  Speaker 14: top level statesman and diplomat. He's also, you know, like
• 2:21:34
  Speaker 14: we said, led an economic revolution over the course of
• 2:21:37
  Speaker 14: not just the 20 years in which he's been in power,
• 2:21:39
  Speaker 14: but he also served as the finance minister in between
• 2:21:42
  Speaker 14: stints as prime minister and and also did a lot
• 2:21:45
  Speaker 14: to liberate the Israeli economy from the hands of socialism.
• 2:21:51
  Speaker 14: In the early days of the state. So, you know,
• 2:21:53
  Speaker 14: Netanyahu is an incredible track record of just building the
• 2:21:56
  Speaker 14: state of Israel, moving it forward. But at the same time,
• 2:21:59
  Speaker 14: in a democracy, people get tired of the same leadership. Well,
• 2:22:03
  Speaker 14: the thing that's not clear is, you know, who can
• 2:22:05
  Speaker 14: possibly replace him? You know, for the left wing in Israel,
• 2:22:09
  Speaker 14: it's anybody but Netanyahu. And Gadi Eisenkow, the former chief
• 2:22:12
  Speaker 14: of staff, is as anybody as anybody. But it's not
• 2:22:16
  Speaker 14: clear that he has any of the, you know, he
• 2:22:18
  Speaker 14: has the security credential, even though there's what to say
• 2:22:22
  Speaker 14: about that as well. But does he have the diplomacy,
• 2:22:25
  Speaker 14: the statesmanship, the economic background? Can he even sit in
• 2:22:28
  Speaker 14: a meeting, because he doesn't really speak English, with Donald
• 2:22:33
  Speaker 14: Trump and get half of what Prime Minister Netanyahu has
• 2:22:38
  Speaker 14: been able to get out of the U.S.-Israel relationship. These
• 2:22:42
  Speaker 14: are major questions that I think Israelis have to consider
• 2:22:46
  Speaker 14: over and above, you know, whether they like the personality
• 2:22:48
  Speaker 14: or the cult of personality that is Benjamin Netanyahu.
• 2:22:51
  Speaker 2: I love your personality. I love you. That's a great job,
• 2:22:53
  Speaker 2: Alex Treyman. You're always great. All 240 times you've been great.
