  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: Sid, you've not only become one of the great voices
• 0:12
  Speaker 4: of New York and America, you're one of the greatest
• 0:15
  Speaker 4: voices of truth for Israel. And there's a reason you
• 0:18
  Speaker 4: have such an enormous audience. You don't blabber woke nonsense.
• 0:23
  Speaker 4: You don't tell people what the fashionable crowd thinks they
• 0:25
  Speaker 4: should hear. You tell them the truth. The hard truth.
• 0:30
  Speaker 4: And you tell it with passion, with humor, and with
• 0:33
  Speaker 4: absolutely no fear. Sid, I want you to know, Israel
• 0:38
  Speaker 4: knows who its friends are. You have stood with us
• 0:41
  Speaker 4: when it was popular, and more importantly, when it wasn't.
• 0:44
  Speaker 4: That means a great deal to me. It means a
• 0:47
  Speaker 4: great deal to the people of Israel. So thank you, Sid.
• 0:50
  Speaker 5: It could be one of Israel's most pivotal elections and
• 0:53
  Speaker 5: the world is watching, but so far there's no answer
• 0:56
  Speaker 5: with the result deadlocked. Neither Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu nor
• 1:00
  Speaker 5: his closest rival have the numbers to lead outright and
• 1:04
  Speaker 5: a winner might not be named for months.
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: Party atmosphere at Likud HQ.
• 1:11
  Speaker 6: Benjamin Netanyahu hoping this isn't his swan song. The Israeli
• 1:18
  Speaker 6: leader vowing he'll stay in power with.
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: A right-wing government. This is just an introduction. We are
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: still waiting for the real results.
• 1:27
  Speaker 6: But those results could still be a long way away.
• 1:30
  Speaker 6: Netanyahu's camp, deadlocked at 51 seats with rival Gadi Eisenkot's,
• 1:35
  Speaker 6: both well short of majority, Arab parties the likely kingmakers.
• 1:42
  Speaker 6: We made history, the claim from Gadi Eisenkot, hoping to
• 1:45
  Speaker 6: dethrone Israel's longest-serving PM from the centre, as the world
• 1:50
  Speaker 6: watches its wars on Iran and Gaza.
• 1:54
  Speaker 7: Netanyahu, don't you dare use Israel's security for your political needs.
• 1:58
  Speaker 6: Full of losing, his parliamentary majority worried Benjamin Netanyahu. There's
• 2:02
  Speaker 6: no sign of it here at Party HQ.
• 2:05
  Speaker 8: No definitive winner at.
• 2:06
  Speaker 6: The ballot box just means the contest moves to more
• 2:09
  Speaker 6: familiar territory.
• 2:10
  Speaker 8: We are in a.
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: Stand-up, you know. Like in soccer, we call it a
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: drew that everyone is loose.
• 2:18
  Speaker 6: A standoff in what many Israelis recognise as the most
• 2:21
  Speaker 6: pivotal election in the country's history. Voter turnout nearly 80%,
• 2:25
  Speaker 6: the highest since 1999.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: For now.
• 2:32
  Speaker 6: These Netanyahu supporters say.
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: There's only one winner.
• 2:35
  Speaker 8: I am prepared to declare a victor, yes.
• 2:36
  Speaker 6: So you don't think there is any chance that Eisenkot
• 2:39
  Speaker 6: are another candidate?
• 2:40
  Speaker 9: No way!
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: And God forbid!
• 2:42
  Speaker 8: But he does have a chance.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: Eisenkot is cool.
• 2:48
  Speaker 6: Because of what may be his biggest drawcard for many voters,
• 2:51
  Speaker 6: he's not Benjamin Netanyahu.
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: What are you voting for? I'm voting for change. Change,
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: and in Hebrew it's Shanui, so we're voting for Shanui today.
• 2:59
  Speaker 6: The power of the vote, one thing they all agree on.
• 3:04
  Speaker 5: And Ben Downie is live in Tel Aviv. Ben, this
• 3:06
  Speaker 5: election is far from decided.
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: Yes, Sarah, that's right.
• 3:09
  Speaker 6: The starting gun really may only have just been fired.
• 3:13
  Speaker 6: It could take days, likely weeks, potentially even longer before
• 3:16
  Speaker 6: we reach a definitive result. In an extreme case, it
• 3:19
  Speaker 6: might even require an entirely new election. What we do
• 3:22
  Speaker 6: know is that neither of the major blocs has that
• 3:25
  Speaker 6: magical 61-seat majority in the Israeli parliament. Benjamin Netanyahu's Likud
• 3:30
  Speaker 6: party looks likely to be the largest in the Knesset,
• 3:33
  Speaker 6: but the coalition he once commanded... is seriously diminished by voters.
• 3:37
  Speaker 6: Right now, though, that won't matter to Israel's great political survivor,
• 3:41
  Speaker 6: defying expectations this evening by clinging to life when so
• 3:45
  Speaker 6: many had already written him off.
• 3:47
  Speaker 10: President Trump in deep red Texas, scrambling to hold on
• 3:50
  Speaker 10: to a critical Republican Senate seat.
• 3:53
  Speaker 11: Seven days from now, the people of Texas are going
• 3:56
  Speaker 11: to defeat Democrat, communist James Salafrico.
• 4:00
  Speaker 10: And bringing backup in this heavily Latino district with Secretary
• 4:04
  Speaker 10: of State Marco Rubio's first appearance on the trail.
• 4:07
  Speaker 12: It's an honor to work for the greatest country in
• 4:09
  Speaker 12: the world, for the greatest president in the history of
• 4:11
  Speaker 12: the United States of America.
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: We love you, Texas.
• 4:14
  Speaker 10: Republican Ken Paxton locked in a tighter-than-expected race against Democrat
• 4:18
  Speaker 10: James Tallarico. A recent poll in Texas finding, along with
• 4:21
  Speaker 10: the cost of living, corruption is a top issue. In 2023,
• 4:25
  Speaker 10: Paxton was impeached in the Texas House for allegations that
• 4:28
  Speaker 10: included bribery, but he was acquitted in the state Senate.
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: And then there's Ken Paxton.
• 4:34
  Speaker 6: The most.
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: The most corrupt politician in our state.
• 4:41
  Speaker 10: But Paxton slamming Tallarico as too liberal for Texas, pointing
• 4:44
  Speaker 10: to controversial comments like this.
• 4:47
  Speaker 13: There are many more than two biological sexes.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: In fact, there are six.
• 4:52
  Speaker 10: Nationwide, more than 32 million people have voted early. Cindy Bell,
• 4:56
  Speaker 10: who considered herself a Bush Republican, today cast her ballot
• 5:00
  Speaker 10: for Tallarico.
• 5:00
  Speaker 9: I definitely think it's a change that we need.
• 5:03
  Speaker 10: AAA says the average price of gas during this Trump
• 5:06
  Speaker 10: administration has now exceeded the average under President Biden. But
• 5:10
  Speaker 10: a new government report out today showing consumer confidence is rising.
• 5:15
  Speaker 10: We spoke to this Paxton supporter. Democrats are saying that
• 5:18
  Speaker 10: they might have a shot to turn this state blue.
• 5:20
  Speaker 14: Do you buy that?
• 5:21
  Speaker 15: No, not for a minute.
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: Why is that?
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: Because there are too many of us who want to
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: save our state and save our country.
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: And with that, Gabe joins us now live from the
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: president's second Texas rally.
• 5:35
  Speaker 6: Part of this week-long blitz to the election, many of
• 5:37
  Speaker 6: his stops, Gabe, are Republican strongholds.
• 5:40
  Speaker 16: Yes, his final stretch is heating up, Tom. The president
• 5:43
  Speaker 16: heads to Ohio, then South Carolina, Florida, Kansas, and Iowa
• 5:47
  Speaker 16: over the next five days. All states he won by
• 5:50
  Speaker 16: double digits back in 2024.
• 5:53
  Speaker 17: We're getting a look at the early voting numbers here
• 5:56
  Speaker 17: in the city. The Board of Elections reporting more than
• 5:58
  Speaker 17: two hundred ninety four thousand people have voted in the
• 6:01
  Speaker 17: last four days. Early voting ends on Sunday. And in
• 6:05
  Speaker 17: this final stretch of the race, the candidates for New
• 6:08
  Speaker 17: York governor were out campaigning. Dick Brennan is in our
• 6:11
  Speaker 17: immersive studio now with more on that.
• 6:13
  Speaker 6: Dick.
• 6:13
  Speaker 18: Yeah, Christine, they were hitting hard. This is what it'll
• 6:15
  Speaker 18: look like as we bring you the election results as
• 6:19
  Speaker 18: they come in. Hochul versus Blakeman. Of course, the early vote,
• 6:23
  Speaker 18: as you noted, has been pouring in, but we still
• 6:25
  Speaker 18: have a long way to go. And the candidates aren't
• 6:28
  Speaker 18: wasting a second attacking in every way they can.
• 6:32
  Speaker 15: We got it done here in New York.
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: Got it done.
• 6:35
  Speaker 19: All I can say to the people of New York
• 6:37
  Speaker 19: City and the people of New York State is that
• 6:39
  Speaker 19: help is on the way.
• 6:40
  Speaker 18: With the clock running out on the campaign, the candidates
• 6:43
  Speaker 18: pound away at each other. And on the top of
• 6:45
  Speaker 18: the agenda for Bruce Blakeman, bashing Governor Hochul's congestion pricing.
• 6:49
  Speaker 19: She's collecting $ 9 per car just for the privilege of
• 6:54
  Speaker 19: driving on this public road that the taxpayers have already
• 6:58
  Speaker 19: paid for. It's nothing more than a tax on the
• 7:01
  Speaker 19: middle class.
• 7:05
  Speaker 18: Hochul rallied with Hotel and Gaming Trades Council members in Midtown,
• 7:08
  Speaker 18: but fired back at Blakeman on the congestion pricing issue.
• 7:12
  Speaker 17: He must like a lot of traffic, higher accidents, slower
• 7:16
  Speaker 17: response time, less money to fund the MTA and Long
• 7:19
  Speaker 17: Island Railroad, and not really care about congestion.
• 7:22
  Speaker 18: Voters are already making their choices with early voting off
• 7:25
  Speaker 18: to a strong start.
• 7:26
  Speaker 20: We're looking at an 85% increase statewide in.
• 7:31
  Speaker 8: The early voting numbers.
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: That's incredible, Dick.
• 7:35
  Speaker 20: Numbers that we've never seen before. And we're not even,
• 7:37
  Speaker 20: you know, five days from Election Day.
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: J.C.
• 7:40
  Speaker 18: Polanco, professor of business law at Mount St. Vincent, says
• 7:43
  Speaker 18: both candidates have to now make a convincing closing argument.
• 7:47
  Speaker 20: Kathy Hochul has to run the numbers up in New
• 7:48
  Speaker 20: York City. It's why she's with Mayor Mondani everywhere.
• 7:51
  Speaker 8: She's going to lose most of those upstate counties.
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: She has to win big in New York City.
• 7:55
  Speaker 20: Bruce Blakeman has to remind the world that he's not
• 7:57
  Speaker 20: Donald Trump. And we try to remind New Yorkers that
• 7:59
  Speaker 20: affordability has been an issue for a very long time
• 8:02
  Speaker 20: and try to blame Kathy Hochul for it and see
• 8:03
  Speaker 20: if we can win that argument among independents and in
• 8:06
  Speaker 20: the suburbs.
• 8:08
  Speaker 18: And of course, as we always say, it's all about turnout.
• 8:11
  Speaker 18: Approximately 70 percent of the early voters are Democrats. Then again,
• 8:15
  Speaker 18: this is largely a Democratic state. On the other hand,
• 8:18
  Speaker 18: a large voting bloc in the state is independent. And
• 8:21
  Speaker 18: Blake and Christine hopes to cash in on their votes.
• 8:25
  Speaker 14: Stay tuned.
• 8:27
  Speaker 21: Welcome to your preview of the 2026 TCS New York
• 8:31
  Speaker 21: City Marathon. Your 26.2 mile journey begins on Staten Island.
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: Athletes on your mark.
• 8:40
  Speaker 21: We'll start with a steep 160 feet climb up the
• 8:44
  Speaker 21: Verrazano Narrows Bridge and then descend into your second.
• 8:47
  Speaker 9: Burrow of the day, Brooklyn. This is the biggest climb.
• 8:51
  Speaker 7: Of the marathon.
• 8:52
  Speaker 9: Make sure you stay relaxed and behind goal pace.
• 8:56
  Speaker 21: The three start courses merge together in Brooklyn near Mile
• 8:59
  Speaker 21: 8 on Lafayette Avenue.
• 9:01
  Speaker 9: It can get crowded here as you welcome runners from
• 9:03
  Speaker 9: all starting waves. Runners spend 11 miles in Brooklyn.
• 9:08
  Speaker 21: The longest borough stretch on the course. You'll then cross
• 9:12
  Speaker 21: over into Queens on the Pulaski Bridge, the course's halfway point.
• 9:18
  Speaker 21: At Mile 15, you hit the silent climb of the
• 9:20
  Speaker 21: Queensborough Bridge.
• 9:22
  Speaker 10: Dig deep.
• 9:23
  Speaker 9: The roar of Manhattan awaits you on the other side.
• 9:26
  Speaker 21: Press on as the wall of sound from cheering fans
• 9:30
  Speaker 21: carry you up First Avenue.
• 9:31
  Speaker 9: Crossing Willis Avenue Bridge takes you into our fifth borough,
• 9:35
  Speaker 9: the Bronx. Soak up the vibes of the boogie-down Bronx
• 9:38
  Speaker 9: as you cross mile 20. This is where the race
• 9:42
  Speaker 9: really begins. You've got 10K to go. Lock in and
• 9:46
  Speaker 9: push on.
• 9:47
  Speaker 21: Heading south along Fifth Avenue, you've got 100 feet of
• 9:50
  Speaker 21: elevation gain. At mile 23, this hill feels like a mountain.
• 9:56
  Speaker 9: Stay strong. Runners enter Central Park.
• 9:58
  Speaker 8: One final time.
• 10:00
  Speaker 9: At Columbus Circle, with only a few hundred meters left
• 10:03
  Speaker 9: to go. As you cross the finish.
• 10:05
  Speaker 21: Line, raise your hands in the air and celebrate all
• 10:08
  Speaker 21: the hard work that.
• 10:08
  Speaker 9: Got you there.
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: Really the root of the marathon, which, of course, starts
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: Staten Island, Verrazano Bridge, and eventually makes its way through
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: all five boroughs. I don't know if you guys know this,
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: but this year, this Sunday, is the 50th anniversary, not
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: of the marathon. Marathon's been around longer than 50 years
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: here in New York, but it's the 50th anniversary of
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: the new course. Did you know that?
• 10:39
  Speaker 22: No.
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: I did not, no. So what that means is the
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: marathon initially here in New York, they just ran it
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: in Central Park. They looped Central Park both times, a
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: bunch of times, I should say. But the Five Borough Marathon,
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: the one we run now, they run now, I don't
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: run it, these heroes, that started 50 years ago. So
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: the new format, the Five Borough Marathon, celebrates... 50 years
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: this Sunday.
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: Now, when they did it just in Central Park, how
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: many loops was that?
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: You know, I don't know. I'm going to have to
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: guess and say five or six, but I'm not sure.
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: I don't even know how many miles that loop is.
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: I think by that conservatory, it's like six miles, I think.
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: So my guess is four times, five times, but either way,
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: 50 years of all five boroughs, and it's a remarkable race.
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: I think I'm going to meet Danielle on Sunday at
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: mile 22, where it becomes really, really difficult.
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: Where's 22? It's mile 22.
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: That'll be in Manhattan. Okay.
• 11:47
  Speaker 23: Yeah.
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: The largest part of the race in terms of mileage
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: is Brooklyn. They'll do 11 of the 26.2 miles in Brooklyn,
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: and they go nuts in Brooklyn. They do a great job,
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: the folks who are standing there and providing people with Water,
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: I guess. Gatorade. Celebrating. Yelling and screaming. I say this.
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: I said it already yesterday. I'll say it again today.
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: There is not one day, not one day on the
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: calendar in New York that is a better kumbaya day
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: for New Yorkers than Marathon Sunday. Nothing. You can take
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: all the feasts. You can take the U.S. Open. I mean,
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: what are some other great New York events would you
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: say known?
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: Oh, there's Comic-Con.
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: Right, I would leave that out personally. Santa-Con. I would
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: leave that one out. Santa-Con, right, right. For one day,
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: I mean, even me, I mean, you know how much
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: I hate the Democrats, but if you show me a
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: Democrat that finishes that race, I'll actually shake their hand.
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: And for me, that's saying a lot because I hate Democrats.
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: I don't paint it any differently. My own relatives I
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: won't talk to. My own relatives. I have no interest
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: in talking to them, which is nothing to brag about.
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: It's actually kind of sad, but I'm just being honest
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: with you. But you show me a Democrat getting across
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: the finish line, and for those couple of minutes, I
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: love him. An hour later, I hate him.
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: It's an amazing feat, and it's so singular. And that's
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: why I think I agree with you. It's such a
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: great event because you're rooting on everybody. It's not anybody
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: against anybody.
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: And it's not just a one-day event. You know, you're
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: saying it's an amazing feat, and I've never done it.
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: I've done two half marathons in my life, two halves,
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: both in Fort Lauderdale.
• 13:39
  Speaker 23: But.
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: The amount of work that goes into it. You know,
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: Danielle starts training four or five months out. She's already
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: done a bunch of 20-mile runs and 22-mile runs. And,
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: you know, you're talking about big, big mileage. Now, this week,
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: of course, they taper. This week is more about eating
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: and rest. You know, loading up on carbs on Friday night.
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: But the amount of work that goes into it is immense. Immense. So, yes,
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: watching them cross the finish line, just the look of it. of, oh,
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: my God, I did it, is absolutely inspiring. I don't
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: care if you're a Kenyan who runs a marathon in
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: 20 minutes or somebody like my wife who may take
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: four and a half hours. It doesn't matter. The look
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: of victory on their face and pain. You know, a
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: lot of these runners, it's tough. Mile 22, mile 23.
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: So I'm really looking forward to later on this morning, 8.30
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: to be exact, one of the greatest athletes in New
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: York history. Some like me still believe that over about
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: a five-year period, the greatest offensive player in the history
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: of the New York Giants. That's right. You can include
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: Eli Manning. You could include Bill Sims, Mark Bovaro. I
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: don't care who you include. For about five or six years,
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: Tiki Barber was the best offensive player in Giant history.
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: Guy was getting 1,900 yards on the ground, 700 yards
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: out of the backfield, putting up numbers that only Marshall
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: Faulk did. Well, he has retired from football, but Tiki,
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: like my wife Danielle, he runs the New York City
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: Marathon every year. And every year I say I want
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: to get Tiki on. Tiki these days actually hosts the
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: Midday Show, something I did for many years, at WFAN
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: with my friend Evan Roberts. So today, Noam, Mr. Giant Fan,
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: the great number 21, Tiki Barber, will join us and
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: talk about the big marathon coming up on Sunday. That's awesome.
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: Isn't that cool?
• 15:41
  Speaker 23: Yeah.
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: And we'll talk Giants, too, obviously. He's a Giant forever,
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: and Giants look really, really good in first place, top
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: the NFC East at 4-2-1. And we'll talk J.J. McCarthy.
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: We'll talk Jackson Dart. We'll do all that with the
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: former Giant great Tiki Barber. So that is the story
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: from my house, Marathon Week here in New York. coming
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: up on Sunday. But the biggest story around the world,
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: obviously the elections in Israel yesterday. We're going to go
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: back to Jerusalem, third consecutive day, talk to Alex Treyman, JNS.org.
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: And let me make it very simple for you, okay?
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: Very simple. No, nobody won. Okay, no one's getting that
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: coveted 61 number, which makes you the outright winner, okay?
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: But no one was supposed to get that. If you
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: listen to everybody, my own daughter, Here in New York
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: and in Israel, everybody hates Bibi. Everybody hates him. This
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: was it. He was done. Finished, done, that was it. Eisenkot,
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: all these other people, they were going to win. That's it.
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: The world has had enough of Bibi. And nothing could
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: be further from the truth. He won. He didn't get
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: to 61 where things can't change, but he did get
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: the most votes. The Likud party, his party, remains the
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: strongest party in Israel. And odds are, folks, that Eisencott
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: and Bennett and the rest of these guys, if they
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: want to form a government, unless they side with the Arabs,
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: which would really be stupid, I don't see that happening.
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: If they want to form a government, they've got to
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: meet with Bibi. So my point is the demise of
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: Bibi Netanyahu, sorry for your brother, Noam, and many others,
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: greatly exaggerated. Bibi is alive and well. That's all you
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: need to know.
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: There was three big surprises, I think, yesterday. One is
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: that Netanyahu did as well as he did. The predictions
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: early on was he was not going to get as
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: many seats as he could did.
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: Right. And then he was going to get killed. And
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: let me say this to you. You know, here like
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: in the United States, CNN, MSNOW, they lie. They just lie.
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: If you're in Israel watching channels 11, 12, or 13,
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: they lied. So channel 14 in Israel is the closest
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: thing to Fox News here. Okay? So they slant right. 11, 12, 13,
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: they slant left. They were proclaiming victory for Eisenhower last night.
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: He didn't win. He did not win. In fact, it
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: was a very disappointing showing. But go ahead, Noam.
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: I was going to say the early projection numbers, that's
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: what they were going off of, which is notoriously wrong,
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: by the way, in Israel. They're terrible at doing that.
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: We do pretty well here when you get those first
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: numbers that come out. which aren't the actual numbers and
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: tell you how the race is usually the pretty accurate
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: here therefore ever reason isn't usually not well that's why
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: it's going to be a place for another reason well
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: nope they're coming from all the networks in the and
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: the left look like they were ahead but of course
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: the end of the night that was the case.
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: For the bar ahead early in fact early in the
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: day they were killing the b and then the b
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: and the local would party literally grabbed all the mayors
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: started knocking on every door bill they spent hours in
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: israel yesterday gathering support and it is true that early
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: in the day it looked like the predictions are going
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: to be right and bb was going to get smashed
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: but by the end of last night bb completely turned
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: things around.
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah and now the uh what was it 77 percent
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: of the population voted i mean some huge number yesterday
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: and then the the two other big surprises that was
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: one was how many people came out the numbers were
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: really large but also that these Arab parties did incredibly well.
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: They did.
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: 16 seats.
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: Well, now they're saying, actually, these are the new numbers
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: that have come out this morning. They think it may
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: be 19 seats when all is said and done.
• 19:29
  Speaker 23: Ouch.
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: So now the question is, how do you form a
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: government because you have all these smaller parties? The way
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: it works in Israel is you have to form a
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: coalition with the smaller parties to get to the 61 seats. Now,
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: Right now, Netanyahu's Likud, and if he goes with all
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: these other right-wing parties, he only gets to 56 seats.
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: So he still needs another five.
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: So where are those five going to be found? That's
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: where it gets awfully interesting.
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: Right, it does. And now the Arabs, which you're talking about,
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: and it's important to point this out, that some of
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: those Arab folks, they're pro-Hamas. They're pro-Iran. They're anti-America and anti-Israel.
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: Think about this. which is really weird because last I checked,
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: in Arab states, the Jews don't have a say, but
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: the genocidal, hating Jews, they allow Arabs... to serve in
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: the Knesset.
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, it's a democracy, so anybody can run.
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's right. No, I'm glad you said that. But
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: the point is, no, the Jews, they want to kill
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: every Muslim. They hate everybody, the genocidal. No, you just
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: talked about it. Nineteen seats. And some of those people
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: downright hate Israel, hate them. And they may be in
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: some position of power. That's a little scary if you
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: ask me.
• 20:45
  Speaker 24: No?
• 20:45
  Speaker 13: No.
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: Well, I don't know. There's only been one government that's
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: ever aligned with a coalition with an Arab party.
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: I don't think it's going to happen this time either.
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: I know they're talking about Eisenhower because he's desperate, because
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: he did not do as well. as he thought he
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: would do yesterday, and Bibi didn't do as poorly. So
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: maybe Eisenkot sits with the Arabs, but I can't see that.
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: This guy led the military. He's going to sit with
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: folks that are pro-Hamas?
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: Well, he also promised beforehand that he would not.
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: Right, he did do that. But so what? Years ago,
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: Naftali Bennett made promises, too, and went back on all
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: of them. You remember that?
• 21:18
  Speaker 4: Mm-hmm.
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: When he was prime minister for about 15 minutes.
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: Wait a minute, politicians lie?
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I guess so. Even in Israel, yes. What was
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: the other third surprise?
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: Well, that was the three that we knew the turnout
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: was going to be high, but we didn't realize how
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: high it was going to be.
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: 80%, I think, yes.
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: Something like that, yeah.
• 21:33
  Speaker 22: Yeah, yeah.
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: It's like the United States, man. You know, look, I
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: did sports for the first 16 years of my career,
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: maybe 17 years, you know. And I started getting this bug, man.
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: I couldn't get crazy about the Dolphins and the Bills
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: or the Heat and the Knicks or the Panthers and
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: the Rangers. I told you this a million times. Sitting
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: there watching ISIS mowing down people having lunch at an
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: outside restaurant in Paris. Setting off bombs at a soccer
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: stadium where Geraldo Rivera couldn't find his daughter, if you
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: remember that. Killing people inside an amphitheater at a concert.
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: By the hundreds. And I came to work that Monday morning,
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: and I wasn't talking about the Dauphins and the Bills.
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: For me, it happened well over a decade ago. And
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: slowly but surely, I employed more politics into my sports show.
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: And now here I am in New York. at the
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: risk of sounding like a narcissist, but being honest, one
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: of the most influential political news talkers in the world.
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: I mean, forget about the country. I've already received messages
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: this morning from Dr. Opio Falk. He was sitting with Bebe.
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: I showed Justin the message. Sitting with Bebe, and they
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: thanked me for all I'm doing. Okay? That's not something
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: most sports talk show hosts get in their WhatsApp box
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: in the morning. So, The bug bit me a long
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: time ago. President Trump came along and people went nuts
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: like Joe Benigno. He loves the Mets. He loves the Jets.
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: He's on the show every week. But he really loves,
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: as he calls them, Big Don. And now I think
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: the bug is even bigger. The bug is growing. And
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: I don't care if you're young or old. You love sports.
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: You love movies. Just about everybody wants to talk politics. Everybody.
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: Not everybody is as rabid and as crazy as I am.
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: But just about everybody wants to talk politics. At least
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: I feel that way.
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: No, you know, the transition. I always said this to you.
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: It was easy for you because it's kind of the
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: same thing. It's a sport. One's a blood sport. You know,
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: one takes place on the field. And so you took the. Well,
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: now you're a Yankees fan, but you could you filled
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: the Mets in with the Republicans.
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: Or the Yankees. Exactly right. And and the rest of
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: the story. I filled in my favorite players on the
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: Giants and the Knicks with President Trump.
• 23:58
  Speaker 22: Right.
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: Well, B.B.
• 23:59
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: It's exactly right. It is the same thing. You know,
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: you love your team, you love your politician, you hate
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: the other team, you hate the opposition, whether in politics.
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: So it is exactly the same. That's why people like
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: me and Clay Travis, there's so many examples now. Stephen A. Smith,
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: Jason Whitlock, to a certain extent Joe Beningo, your favorite
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: sports talk show hosts, have become... very, very successful in
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: doing this because to Noam's point, it is very, very similar.
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: People ask me all the time, seems so seamless. It's
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: the same. Like Noam just said, just substitute Republicans for
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: the Giants. Just substitute Donald Trump for Jalen Brunson. It's
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: the same thing on the left as well. So, yes,
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: if you're thinking about making that transition from sports to
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: politics or politics to sports, It should be relatively seamless.
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: Should be.
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: It was for you.
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: Well, I'm very talented, too. Don't get silly.
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: Well, yeah.
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: You have to include that in the equation.
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: I guess I get it. Well, you did, so I
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: don't have to.
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: But you're right, Nomi. You are correct. All right, so
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: the Israel thing we got, we did the Blakeman-Hockel thing
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: this morning. You know, after all those conversations yesterday with
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: you two gentlemen, five gentlemen, I am nowhere closer today.
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: to what I'm going to do on Tuesday night if
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: I'll be on Long Island or in Rockland County. And
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: just so you know, the Lawler campaign did reach out
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: to me again yesterday. So I still haven't made up
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: my mind yet. And I'm having a very difficult time
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: figuring out what to do. I really want to do both,
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: but I can't.
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: Well, I think some of it is FaceTime, because if
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: you go to the Blakeman headquarters, Joe Cairo is the emcee, right?
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: Joe Cairo. Yeah, so.
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: If they were to make you emcee for the evening,
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: which would mean you would be up on stage more
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: than even Bruce Blakeman.
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: That's right.
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: I think that might put you over the top.
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: Oh, no, then it's over. No, then it's over.
• 26:09
  Speaker 23: Yeah.
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: But if Chris Boyle texts me today and said, but
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: they can't do that.
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: Why not?
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: Cairo's the king of Long Island. Is he? He's the
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: mob boss.
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: Is he entertaining?
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: He's actually very funny. He is.
• 26:19
  Speaker 23: Okay.
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: Very funny and smart. And all these Long Island candidates,
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: he's the godfather.
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: But you would be okay if they squashed him like
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: a bug and then put you in his place. You'd
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: be all right with that.
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: I'd encourage that. We'd be all right with that. And
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: I love Joe Cairo. He's great. He's funnier than I
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: am at times. But let's be honest, okay? He ain't
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: talking to a million people every day.
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: So maybe they need to do that. Maybe they just
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: need to yank him out.
• 26:48
  Speaker 14: Of the way.
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: They can't do it. He is the godfather there, bro.
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: Trust me. You just can't do it. They won't do it.
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: I don't want them to do that either.
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: So then the issue becomes you get a lot of
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: face time at Mike Lawler's campaign headquarters, but it won't
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: be as watched as Bruce Blakeman's.
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: That's correct, yes. And Alec is telling me today that
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: his mom and dad live up there in, what is it,
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: that neighborhood where the Clintons... Chappaqua?
• 27:13
  Speaker 23: Yes.
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: Yes. Up there, very fancy, very nice. Katona, maybe? Yes,
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: that too. And he's telling me that talking to people
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: on the street, which Justin does, that he thinks there's
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: a real chance that Mike Waller can lose. Is that right, though?
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, that district goes back and forth.
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: Really?
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: They call it a purple district, right? It can go
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: either way.
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: But he always wins, Mike. Yeah, well. Isn't this Kate
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: Conley a bit of a lunatic or no?
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: You know, it depends on who you talk to.
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: Well, I'm talking to you.
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: Well, I don't know her, so I couldn't tell you
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: if she's a lunatic. She has, you know, an impressive
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: military background. That might be enticing for some people.
• 27:52
  Speaker 25: Yeah.
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: What did she do?
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: I'd have to go back and look, but I know
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: it's a pretty long military background.
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: She's so impressive, you can't even tell me what she does.
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't remember everything that she was in.
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: What did she do?
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: I can have her, I can actually, I have her
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: talking about it.
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: What did she serve?
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: I can have her, I have her talking about it.
• 28:06
  Speaker 10: You want to hear it?
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: Not really, but I guess so. Just play it.
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: Let's see.
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: Hold on. Hold on. I don't like this lady. I
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: like Mike Lawler. But, I mean, I guess, you know,
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: everybody who serves deserves a certain amount of respect. And
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: I try to give them respect. Some of them, like
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: this loser Graham Plotner in Maine, he served the country,
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: but he's a lowlife. I'm not sure Kate Conley is that,
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: but she votes for the Democrats all the time. She
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: actually has never condemned Mamdani and has never said anything
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: bad about Hochul. So I can't like this lady. Not
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: even a little. Even though she did, sir. What did
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: she say?
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: So she joined, she was in the army.
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: She was army.
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: I was just trying to remember which branch it was,
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: but here she was talking about it.
• 28:47
  Speaker 9: 16 years on active duty, six tours overseas. Mike Lawler
• 28:50
  Speaker 9: for the same period of time was a political operative,
• 28:53
  Speaker 9: political consultant, oil and gas utility lobbyist and politician.
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: Ah, shut up. That's fine. Political operative. Okay. Thank you
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: for your service, Kate. Thank you for your service. But,
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: Your philosophies, your policies, and how you vote will hurt
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: this country. So thank you for your service. But since
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: you're done with your service, now you're negative. You're no
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: longer an asset. Don't worry about what Mike Lawler did
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: in operative. Don't you love those types of words?
• 29:20
  Speaker 14: Yeah.
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: Political operative.
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: Well, it sounds evil.
• 29:23
  Speaker 19: Right.
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: It really sounds bad.
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: You know how much, before this race is over, this
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: is the Hudson Valley. This is not New York City.
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: Oh, it's a very expensive race. $ 60 million. Yeah, Mike
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: keeps saying that when he comes on the show. This
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: is like the most expensive way 60 million dollars yeah.
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: Um mike johnson was up there yesterday the house speaker
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: oh he was campaigning did he speak he.
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: Did you want to hear from mike johnson yeah.
• 29:45
  Speaker 26: All right everybody around america is watching this election everybody
• 29:51
  Speaker 26: because he has been so good because he's so effective
• 29:53
  Speaker 26: for new york and for america we've had an extraordinary.
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: Record All right, that's good. Mike Johnson. We love Mike Johnson. Yeah, no,
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: it's a big race, and a lot of people are
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: talking about it, and it seems like it may be
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: closer than I thought. I'm really never worried about this race.
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: I mean, I knew she was formidable to a certain extent,
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: but I never really considered Mike Waller losing. I'm still
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: not to see a no, but there are people almost
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: every day telling me that it could happen, whatever that means.
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's hard to beat an incumbent. That's always difficult.
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: So but this district, you know, the polls show it
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: basically dead even, you know, one or two points separate
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: the two candidates.
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: Right. I loved President Trump in Texas yesterday. He's got
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: all these nicknames for Tallarico. Now he's Tallarico. I like that.
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: So he he went nuts on Tallarico in his efforts
• 30:49
  Speaker 2: to show solidarity and love for Paxton. So this was
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: Texas yesterday. Here's President Trump. This will be cut number
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: seven when he refers to Tallarico as Tallarico.
• 31:07
  Speaker 11: Seven days from now, the people of Texas are going
• 31:10
  Speaker 11: to defeat Democrat, communist James Tallarico.
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: I love that. Then he goes on to say that
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: this Tallarico guy. is a retard or something like that.
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: I don't know. He didn't say that exact word, but
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: this is cut number eight.
• 31:23
  Speaker 23: He's going around to so many barbecues. It's probably why
• 31:26
  Speaker 23: either that or he has a mental illness. He disappeared
• 31:30
  Speaker 23: for 12 to 14 days. It's actually probably 14 if
• 31:32
  Speaker 23: you really look at it. Missing in action.
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: Missing in action. He's at barbecues.
• 31:37
  Speaker 23: He was food poisoned by meat because he can't stand it.
• 31:42
  Speaker 23: You ever see him go to a barbecue and he's
• 31:43
  Speaker 23: trying to show, I love the meat.
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: I love it.
• 31:49
  Speaker 23: And then you see him.
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: Where is he?
• 31:50
  Speaker 8: He's behind the tent puking.
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: Is that true?
• 31:54
  Speaker 15: He's sick as a dog.
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: Oh, my God. What a beautiful couple of comments there
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: by President Trump. He did go on to say to
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: the people of Texas because they were interviewing people and
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: they were going, hey, is there any chance that your
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: state can turn blue? And these people were like, are
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: you nuts? No way. They stopped short of saying because
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: we've got guns. I swear to God, I think people
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: wanted to say that, but they didn't. But President Trump said,
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: don't you worry, Texas. Come next Tuesday. You're going to
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: be happy. President Trump, Lewis, cut number 10. We have
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: some big races going on.
• 32:36
  Speaker 10: This race, that race.
• 32:37
  Speaker 8: We have a lot of big ones.
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: And I think you're going to be confused.
• 32:41
  Speaker 23: Pleasantly surprised on Tuesday.
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: People are coming home.
• 32:51
  Speaker 23: They're coming home.
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: And I can let our.
• 32:54
  Speaker 23: Country be destroyed by these radical jihadists, these horrible people.
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: Like Mamdani. I wish he would say that once. So
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: his amazing secretary of state, the guy that I love.
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: And the guy that I really want to be the
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: next president when President Trump is done. Marco Rubio was
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: in Texas with Trump because a lot of Latinos there,
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: you know that. And Marco Rubio said it was an honor. Mr.
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: Secretary of State Lewis, cut number 11.
• 33:23
  Speaker 12: It's an honor to work for the greatest country in
• 33:25
  Speaker 12: the world, for the greatest president in the history of
• 33:27
  Speaker 12: the United States of America.
• 33:28
  Speaker 10: We love you, Texas.
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: We love you, Texas. So today the president is in Ohio.
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: He's going to campaign with Vivek Ramaswamy, who once ran
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: against President Trump for president, but he's running for governor
• 33:42
  Speaker 2: in the state of Ohio. Before it's all said and
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: done on Tuesday, the president will also visit South Carolina, Florida, Kansas,
• 33:51
  Speaker 2: and Iowa. But today, Noam, the president is in the
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: great state of Ohio. I guess it's a great state.
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: I don't know. Never go there, Noam.
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah. My mother is originally from Akron, so I've been
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: there many times.
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: That's not true. LeBron James is from Akron.
• 34:07
  Speaker 23: Yeah.
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: Your mother and LeBron James?
• 34:10
  Speaker 21: Yes.
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: Can you believe that two people like that are from Akron, Ohio?
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: Don't make fun of me. It's early, and I'm old,
• 34:16
  Speaker 2: and my foot hurts. I have some type of foot injury.
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: I don't know what happened to your foot.
• 34:20
  Speaker 2: I don't even know. I don't even know.
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: What's hurting you? You can't walk on it?
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: The top half of my foot, it's bothering me, yeah.
• 34:28
  Speaker 2: That's what happens when you get old, folks. You wake
• 34:29
  Speaker 2: up in the morning. I didn't hurt myself at all yesterday.
• 34:32
  Speaker 2: There was no injury. And I wake up this morning,
• 34:34
  Speaker 2: and I'm like, I can't walk.
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: Well, didn't you guys, weren't you guys out last night?
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but I didn't hurt myself. I sat down and
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: had dinner at Rosanna Scott's restaurant. Who hurts themselves eating
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: chicken parmesan? But my foot is killing me this morning.
• 34:49
  Speaker 2: I know, it's crazy.
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: Maybe it's like a blood clot or something.
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: Oh, take it easy. Calm down. Now you'll have me
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: dead in like two or three days.
• 34:55
  Speaker 14: Blood clot.
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: Blood clot. Jalen Hurts. What else is going on in America?
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: Well, I don't know if it gets any bigger than
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: your foot, actually.
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: I know. It's killing me. I need some type of
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: a diagist to call me or something. I don't know.
• 35:07
  Speaker 2: A doctor.
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: I bet somebody will.
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Oh, they always do. Like, for example, there's a,
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: Magdalia is her name, I think, okay? So do you
• 35:16
  Speaker 2: remember a couple of months ago, this beautiful 12-year-old boy
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: is on his bicycle. He's outside a bodega. He's in
• 35:25
  Speaker 2: the wrong place at the wrong time, and he gets
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: gunned down, murdered. So the parents showed up at the
• 35:32
  Speaker 2: Nassau County rally where President Trump showed up, the law
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: and order rally for Bruce Blakeman. You remember that. In fact, Saritha,
• 35:40
  Speaker 2: who's going to join me later on this morning, my
• 35:42
  Speaker 2: enthusiastic choice to replace fat, stupid Letitia James as the
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: attorney general, she was with that couple, and a couple
• 35:51
  Speaker 2: of days after that event, Saritha and that couple came
• 35:56
  Speaker 2: on this show. You remember that? I do.
• 35:58
  Speaker 22: Yeah.
• 35:58
  Speaker 2: So they had to move out of where they were living.
• 36:02
  Speaker 2: It was a very, very scary situation. They were getting threats,
• 36:06
  Speaker 2: and their son was murdered, and they were getting threats.
• 36:10
  Speaker 2: Isn't that weird? But they had to move. So the
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: problem is they're in, I think, a bigger apartment now,
• 36:17
  Speaker 2: but they can't afford to furnish it. This poor mother
• 36:21
  Speaker 2: who buried her beautiful son a couple of months ago,
• 36:25
  Speaker 2: cannot afford to furnish her apartment. So I'm actually sending
• 36:30
  Speaker 2: out a call to if you own a furniture store
• 36:33
  Speaker 2: and you want to do something really nice for, is
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: it an angel mom, I guess, for a lady whose
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: son was murdered, a beautiful, nice boy murdered in the
• 36:44
  Speaker 2: streets of New York. Mom Donnie said nothing. Kathy Hochul
• 36:48
  Speaker 2: said nothing. But she's got an apartment and she can't
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: afford the furniture.
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: And the dad, if I'm not mistaken, the father is
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: a cop.
• 36:55
  Speaker 2: Correct. You're 100% right. He's a wonderful guy, too. So
• 36:59
  Speaker 2: if you've got a furniture store in Brooklyn or the
• 37:02
  Speaker 2: city or wherever you may be, and you want to
• 37:04
  Speaker 2: do the right thing and be a great American, I'm
• 37:07
  Speaker 2: calling out to help this lady out.
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: You've got to help them out.
• 37:10
  Speaker 2: You've got to help them out. Jennifer Harrison, who, of course,
• 37:14
  Speaker 2: is Miss.
• 37:16
  Speaker 2: Victims Rights New York. She spends her days and nights
• 37:20
  Speaker 2: helping people like this. When she was a teenager, her
• 37:23
  Speaker 2: boyfriend was gunned down and murdered in Shirley Long Island.
• 37:27
  Speaker 2: She's never recovered.
• 37:28
  Speaker 14: Never.
• 37:29
  Speaker 2: So she called me about this and she said, Sid,
• 37:32
  Speaker 2: the mother has confidence that if anybody, anybody in New
• 37:37
  Speaker 2: York can help her, it's you. And I was so honored.
• 37:40
  Speaker 2: This was yesterday. I was so honored and so eager
• 37:44
  Speaker 2: to help. So I just threw it out there. No,
• 37:46
  Speaker 2: we'll see what happens. What do you think? We'll get
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: a bunch of people calling in, right?
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: They can, like, tweet you on Twitter or something like that.
• 37:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, something like that. I don't know.
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: Instagram.
• 37:54
  Speaker 2: Something like that. But what were you getting to when
• 37:55
  Speaker 2: I– You were.
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: Asking me what was going on in the world besides– Yeah,
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: what else is going on here? Well, here in the
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: city yesterday you had that former NYPD detective Romero, who
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: he was in a courtroom yesterday– facing those charges, the
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: second-degree murder charges, after he allegedly shot and killed in
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: a road rage incident that Con Ed worker, and now
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: he's facing murder charges. And the Romero, or rather the
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: Irvine family, Coran Irvine was the Con Ed worker who
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: was killed on the bridge last Tuesday night. His family
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: was in the courtroom, and outside the courtroom were about
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: 100 Con Ed workers to support the family. So now
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: we'll have to wait. The next court date is not
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: until November 23rd. But as Romero entered the courtroom yesterday,
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: the Con Ed workers out there did jeer him and
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: call him a murderer. And they waited for him when
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: he came back out and yelled the same thing at
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: him again.
• 38:50
  Speaker 2: Is that right?
• 38:51
  Speaker 23: Yeah.
• 38:52
  Speaker 2: Not a great day for him then. No.
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: Not a good day at all. And then, of course,
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: you got to the election stuff.
• 39:00
  Speaker 2: Well, I know Bruce Blakeman is out there yelling and
• 39:02
  Speaker 2: screaming about congestion pricing. He was.
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: So Bruce Blakeman was on the Upper East Side, outside,
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: underneath one of those transponders that hits you for nine
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: bucks every single day when you come into Manhattan, saying
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: that he will get rid of congestion pricing if he...
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: wins governor next Tuesday.
• 39:20
  Speaker 19: As you can see, there's no congestion relief here, even
• 39:25
  Speaker 19: though she's collecting nine dollars per car.
• 39:29
  Speaker 2: Just for the.
• 39:29
  Speaker 19: Privilege of driving on this public road that the taxpayers
• 39:33
  Speaker 19: have already paid for.
• 39:34
  Speaker 2: Look, it's been proven that it doesn't work. She's lying. Oh,
• 39:38
  Speaker 2: I guess he loves traffic and he loves all this nonsense.
• 39:41
  Speaker 2: It doesn't work. And he's right. All it is is
• 39:44
  Speaker 2: a fancy name for another tax on the middle class.
• 39:48
  Speaker 2: Not even the middle class. I've got news for you.
• 39:50
  Speaker 2: Some of these drivers that need to make their way
• 39:53
  Speaker 2: to lower Manhattan, they're barely middle class. Barely. So all
• 39:57
  Speaker 2: this is is another tax. She can dress it up
• 40:02
  Speaker 2: as she wants. But when you put lipstick on a pig,
• 40:07
  Speaker 2: it's still a pig. And congestion pricing is lipstick. On
• 40:11
  Speaker 2: a pig.
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: And I can tell you as somebody who drives through
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: Midtown every single day, the first couple months of congestion pricing,
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: it was amazing. I was like double the toll.
• 40:19
  Speaker 2: You were going crazy. You loved it. Yeah, I loved it.
• 40:21
  Speaker 2: No traffic. No traffic.
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: I was sailing across to the Lincoln Tunnel from the
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: east side every single day. Now it's back to what
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: it was.
• 40:27
  Speaker 2: Same garbage.
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: 45 minutes to get to the other side.
• 40:29
  Speaker 2: So now what's the advantage of paying $ 9? None.
• 40:32
  Speaker 10: Zero.
• 40:33
  Speaker 2: Right. It's a tax. That's all this is. Kathy Hochul,
• 40:37
  Speaker 2: you're a liar. You may win. Because New Yorkers are stupid.
• 40:42
  Speaker 2: And they're Democrats. And, you know, you keep telling everybody
• 40:45
  Speaker 2: that he's Bruce Trump man instead of Bruce Blake man.
• 40:50
  Speaker 2: Why would that matter to any rational, common sense New Yorker?
• 40:54
  Speaker 2: It shouldn't. But I'm telling you, the longer I live here,
• 40:59
  Speaker 2: the less faith I have in New Yorkers. I always
• 41:03
  Speaker 2: used to brag. I've been living in Florida. I lived
• 41:05
  Speaker 2: there for 16 years. And I'd always say, I miss
• 41:08
  Speaker 2: New Yorkers. They're smart. I don't agree with all of them.
• 41:12
  Speaker 2: They're not smart. They're not smart. New Yorkers, I have
• 41:17
  Speaker 2: found out these last 11 years, are some of the
• 41:20
  Speaker 2: dumbest son of a bitches that God has ever created.
• 41:24
  Speaker 2: We're not smart. We're dummies. There's no other way to
• 41:27
  Speaker 2: logically explain how somebody like Mamdani wins and Hoko wins
• 41:33
  Speaker 2: and Letitia James and Alvin Bragg. I'm sorry. New Yorkers
• 41:37
  Speaker 2: are not smart. I don't care about their fancy Park
• 41:41
  Speaker 2: Avenue apartments. I don't care about Wall Street. I don't
• 41:44
  Speaker 2: care about their nice suits that they wear to dinner
• 41:47
  Speaker 2: in Manhattan on a Tuesday night. I don't care. They're
• 41:50
  Speaker 2: not smart. They read the New York Times. You may
• 41:54
  Speaker 2: as well read Dr. Seuss. You may as well read Dr. Seuss.
• 41:58
  Speaker 2: So I am at the point now where I am
• 42:01
  Speaker 2: absolutely certain that New Yorkers are dumb. They're dumb. And
• 42:06
  Speaker 2: if I ran for office, which I still may do,
• 42:09
  Speaker 2: I'm going to tell them that. They're not going to
• 42:11
  Speaker 2: want to hear that. And my opponent will go, you
• 42:13
  Speaker 2: want to vote for a guy who calls you stupid? Yeah,
• 42:17
  Speaker 2: because you're stupid. Sorry, no.
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: That's a winning campaign, calling New Yorkers stupid. That'll help you.
• 42:24
  Speaker 2: How's it going for Trump?
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: He doesn't call all Americans stupid.
• 42:28
  Speaker 2: I'm not calling all New Yorkers stupid. I'm saying the
• 42:29
  Speaker 2: majority is stupid. When I run, I'm not going to
• 42:35
  Speaker 2: run to win. I can't win. I can't win. I
• 42:38
  Speaker 2: know that. A Republican, a MAGA Republican, I can't win.
• 42:43
  Speaker 2: But I'm going to tell the truth. And I'm going
• 42:45
  Speaker 2: to hurt some people. And I'm going to raise some eyebrows.
• 42:48
  Speaker 2: And people are going to want to hear what I
• 42:49
  Speaker 2: have to say. And if it means calling people stupid,
• 42:52
  Speaker 2: I'll do it. I'm telling you we can't win. So
• 42:55
  Speaker 2: if you're not going to win, at least go out
• 42:57
  Speaker 2: there and fight the good fight. We don't do that.
• 43:00
  Speaker 2: We don't do that. We have Republicans who not only
• 43:03
  Speaker 2: run lousy campaigns, but when it's over and they get
• 43:06
  Speaker 2: their asses kicked, they join the other team. They join
• 43:10
  Speaker 2: the other team. That's never going to be Sid Rosenberg.
• 43:13
  Speaker 2: I promise you that.
• 43:13
  Speaker 1: You're not going to get your flu shot alongside the
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: mayor while holding his hand?
• 43:18
  Speaker 2: I'll punch him across the face before I do that.
• 43:19
  Speaker 2: How about that? I got to get my flu shot
• 43:22
  Speaker 2: this weekend. It just reminded me I got to do that.
• 43:24
  Speaker 1: You should.
• 43:25
  Speaker 2: Have you done that?
• 43:26
  Speaker 14: I did.
• 43:26
  Speaker 1: You know, John and Margo bring in. They're pharmacists from
• 43:30
  Speaker 1: one of the Gristiti's every year on Friday. He was
• 43:32
  Speaker 1: here last Friday.
• 43:33
  Speaker 2: He was?
• 43:33
  Speaker 14: Yeah, yeah.
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: And you just go upstairs.
• 43:35
  Speaker 2: I don't even know. Because last year I got the
• 43:37
  Speaker 2: flu twice. You remember December, January, I was in Florida
• 43:41
  Speaker 2: sitting on Miami Beach, coughing for like six weeks. Thank
• 43:45
  Speaker 2: God for my dear friend, Dr. John Patash, who you
• 43:48
  Speaker 2: got a chance to get to know very well. Great guy.
• 43:50
  Speaker 2: He actually prescribed for me. erythromycin, one of those antibiotics.
• 43:57
  Speaker 2: So it saved, like, the last two, three days of
• 43:59
  Speaker 2: my Miami trip. But before Batash actually did that, I
• 44:02
  Speaker 2: was dying. You guys remember? We had lunch at Harbor Lights.
• 44:08
  Speaker 2: I was dying.
• 44:09
  Speaker 8: Yeah, you did not look good.
• 44:10
  Speaker 2: I felt horrible.
• 44:11
  Speaker 8: Yeah, you were not sounding good.
• 44:13
  Speaker 2: No, I got to get my flu shot.
• 44:14
  Speaker 1: You were out of it. For months.
• 44:16
  Speaker 2: A month and a half.
• 44:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I was going to say it was a long time.
• 44:18
  Speaker 2: Long time. That cough never went away. Never.
• 44:21
  Speaker 1: And that flu shot probably would have lessened it if
• 44:23
  Speaker 1: you had gotten the flu shot.
• 44:24
  Speaker 2: I should have did it, right?
• 44:25
  Speaker 23: Yeah.
• 44:25
  Speaker 2: I'm going to do it this year.
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: I mean, they've been doing the same. It's the same
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: formula for.
• 44:28
  Speaker 2: Like 50 years.
• 44:29
  Speaker 25: I know.
• 44:30
  Speaker 2: People say it doesn't work. They're just wrong. They're just wrong.
• 44:32
  Speaker 2: It does work. Maybe not for everybody. Maybe it's not
• 44:34
  Speaker 2: the greatest thing. But I never got the flu like
• 44:37
  Speaker 2: I got last year. And, oh, I didn't get the
• 44:39
  Speaker 2: shot last year. So, I don't know. I'm going to
• 44:42
  Speaker 2: put those two things together. Because unlike most New Yorkers,
• 44:46
  Speaker 2: I'm not stupid. See what I just did? I figured
• 44:48
  Speaker 2: it out. I figured it out, Noam.
• 44:50
  Speaker 1: Full circle now.
• 44:51
  Speaker 2: Full circle. All right, we're done with this first segment.
• 44:55
  Speaker 3: Sid and Friends in the Morning on the Red Apple
• 44:59
  Speaker 3: Podcast Network.
• 45:01
  Speaker 2: My kids like frosted mini-wheats and some other stuff. I
• 45:04
  Speaker 2: don't know. When I was a kid, I just ate
• 45:06
  Speaker 2: all the sugar stuff. I loved Froot Loops and Sugar
• 45:09
  Speaker 2: Smacks and Corn Pops and Apple Jacks. But my kids
• 45:12
  Speaker 2: eat healthier. But as soon as the cereal arrives, Danielle
• 45:15
  Speaker 2: takes it out of the box and puts it in
• 45:18
  Speaker 2: this Tupperware thing, you know. So it doesn't go stale.
• 45:22
  Speaker 2: It's much fresher. You guys do that at home? What
• 45:25
  Speaker 2: do you guys do?
• 45:26
  Speaker 1: My wife buys the sugar cereal that has no sugar.
• 45:29
  Speaker 1: You know which one I'm talking about?
• 45:30
  Speaker 2: No.
• 45:31
  Speaker 1: I forget the name of the brand. And it's horrible.
• 45:34
  Speaker 2: So where do you put it? Do you keep it
• 45:35
  Speaker 2: inside the box?
• 45:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 45:36
  Speaker 1: No, I'm just saying it ruins cereal for me, so
• 45:38
  Speaker 1: I don't eat it anymore. But no, she does that.
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: She puts it in those plastic containers.
• 45:40
  Speaker 22: Right.
• 45:41
  Speaker 2: You got to do that. Right. Otherwise, you know, the
• 45:42
  Speaker 2: kids mangle the box and they rip open the thing
• 45:45
  Speaker 2: and it gets hard and stale and gross. So I'm
• 45:48
  Speaker 2: not sure why Cheerios felt the need to do that.
• 45:51
  Speaker 2: Most decent parents... Put the cereal in Tupperware. If they don't,
• 45:56
  Speaker 2: they should have the kids taken away.
• 45:57
  Speaker 1: Well, and it's not like when we were kids, the
• 45:59
  Speaker 1: best part of eating cereal was reading what was on
• 46:02
  Speaker 1: the back.
• 46:02
  Speaker 2: Of the box. Well, I used to love to do that.
• 46:03
  Speaker 1: They don't do that anymore.
• 46:04
  Speaker 2: No, they don't. I know. I used to love to
• 46:06
  Speaker 2: do that. It's like a cartoon for me, too. Like
• 46:08
  Speaker 2: the blueberry and the frankenberry.
• 46:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's gone.
• 46:11
  Speaker 2: Cocoa pebbles and fruity pebbles. That's all gone.
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: Nothing inside the box anymore, either.
• 46:16
  Speaker 13: No.
• 46:16
  Speaker 1: It used to be like some sort of prize or whatever.
• 46:18
  Speaker 2: Like Crocker Jack's had, right?
• 46:20
  Speaker 23: Yeah.
• 46:20
  Speaker 2: It was. But those days are over.
• 46:23
  Speaker 6: But.
• 46:24
  Speaker 2: At any rate, we do still eat cereal in the
• 46:26
  Speaker 2: Rosenberg household, and I have it once in a while.
• 46:29
  Speaker 2: If I'm, like, really hungry and I'm out of cake
• 46:32
  Speaker 2: or cookies, I will every now and then, like during
• 46:36
  Speaker 2: a Knick game, for example, I'll sit there and have
• 46:40
  Speaker 2: a bowl of cereal. I love it. I don't really
• 46:43
  Speaker 2: have a favorite cereal anymore. I do like Raisin Bran.
• 46:47
  Speaker 7: Yeah, one of my favorite sights every morning, or most mornings,
• 46:51
  Speaker 7: is watching you annihilate absolutely inhaling a bowl of cereal.
• 46:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I got corn pops for me here. I like
• 46:59
  Speaker 2: the jasmine.
• 46:59
  Speaker 7: Right, yeah, but I've never seen a human being just
• 47:03
  Speaker 7: pour a bowl of cereal down their throat so fast.
• 47:07
  Speaker 1: There's corn pops here?
• 47:08
  Speaker 25: Yes.
• 47:09
  Speaker 2: What do you mean? I got a whole bag of them.
• 47:10
  Speaker 1: What do you mean?
• 47:11
  Speaker 8: Until Sid gets here.
• 47:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he eats them all. That's why you don't see them. Actually,
• 47:15
  Speaker 2: there's a bag that they put away. It's hidden inside
• 47:17
  Speaker 2: one of those cabinets in there. It's all my stuff,
• 47:19
  Speaker 2: my Frosted Flakes and my corn pops. Jasmine does it
• 47:22
  Speaker 2: for me. She's great. Joe Parisi and Edgar, all those people.
• 47:26
  Speaker 2: So I've got all my favorite cereals. I do tend
• 47:28
  Speaker 2: to inhale it. Justin, you're not wrong about that.
• 47:31
  Speaker 15: That's why I walk through it with you fast as possible.
• 47:35
  Speaker 15: I get down here so I don't have to watch
• 47:37
  Speaker 15: any of that. Like, he's going to stop. He's going
• 47:39
  Speaker 15: to put his hands on every single thing that's here.
• 47:41
  Speaker 2: Well, I do do that, too. I stick my hands
• 47:43
  Speaker 2: into the chocolate.
• 47:45
  Speaker 8: The bread.
• 47:46
  Speaker 2: No, not just the bread. What do you call those?
• 47:49
  Speaker 2: You know, we got them in chocolate and we got
• 47:50
  Speaker 2: them in vanilla. The Grams, the other graham crackers or something.
• 47:54
  Speaker 2: I don't know what you call them. Animal crackers.
• 47:56
  Speaker 1: You stick your hands in because there's a dispenser.
• 47:58
  Speaker 2: You can turn the knob and it comes out. It
• 48:00
  Speaker 2: doesn't work. I stick my hands in there. I take
• 48:02
  Speaker 2: the top off and stick my hands in.
• 48:03
  Speaker 8: No, are you kidding?
• 48:04
  Speaker 23: Yeah.
• 48:05
  Speaker 2: Sometimes, right after I go to the bathroom, I swear
• 48:08
  Speaker 2: to God. And I very rarely wash my hands.
• 48:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I'm not eating those anymore.
• 48:13
  Speaker 8: Very rarely means never. Very rarely. You just go through
• 48:21
  Speaker 8: there like a locust.
• 48:22
  Speaker 2: I know. I love it. They do a great job,
• 48:24
  Speaker 2: the kitchen here.
• 48:25
  Speaker 15: Yeah, it looks great until we come through.
• 48:28
  Speaker 2: No, the worst it looks is Monday morning because the
• 48:31
  Speaker 2: weekend crew, they're a bunch of dirty scumbags.
• 48:33
  Speaker 1: They really are.
• 48:34
  Speaker 2: They leave pizza everywhere. They drink all the coffee. There's
• 48:37
  Speaker 2: always stuff laying around everywhere. And I complained about it many,
• 48:40
  Speaker 2: many times. And I think Margot Katzmatidis fixed it. But
• 48:44
  Speaker 2: it's still not great. No. Still not great. The weekend people, who,
• 48:47
  Speaker 2: by the way, and don't take this the wrong way,
• 48:50
  Speaker 2: the least important people at the station. The least important people, okay?
• 48:55
  Speaker 2: And they come here and they make a wreck of
• 48:56
  Speaker 2: the place.
• 48:56
  Speaker 8: Just don't ignore that part.
• 48:58
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 48:59
  Speaker 8: He didn't mean that part.
• 49:01
  Speaker 2: Only 70%.
• 49:01
  Speaker 8: No, I meant it 100%, actually.
• 49:03
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 49:05
  Speaker 2: All right, just keep the place clean. That's all I'm asking.
• 49:07
  Speaker 2: I'm not asking all that much.
• 49:09

  Speaker 2: Kids, it's great. Have a good time. I took my
• 51:09
  Speaker 2: kids trick-or-treating their whole lives. It's great. But you show
• 51:13
  Speaker 2: me an adult... I've got neighbors. I mean, they really
• 51:16
  Speaker 2: go out of their way to get all dialed up.
• 51:17
  Speaker 2: They look dumb. That's just my opinion. Bernie used to
• 51:20
  Speaker 2: get so mad at me. Why can't they just have fun?
• 51:22
  Speaker 2: Why is it dumb? They're just having fun. They look ridiculous.
• 51:27
  Speaker 2: That's my opinion. I don't do it. And I never
• 51:30
  Speaker 2: had the desire to. I've never had FOMO from, hey,
• 51:34
  Speaker 2: we're going to a Halloween party this weekend. What are
• 51:36
  Speaker 2: you going as?
• 51:37
  Speaker 8: Oh, God.
• 51:38
  Speaker 14: Stop.
• 51:39
  Speaker 2: Begging you, right?
• 51:39
  Speaker 8: Stop.
• 51:40
  Speaker 2: Begging you.
• 51:40
  Speaker 8: This is so stupid.
• 51:42
  Speaker 2: So stupid.
• 51:43
  Speaker 8: The peeped.
• 51:43
  Speaker 15: The adults, the people that get so into it and

  Speaker 15: take like a week to, you.
• 51:49
  Speaker 2: Know, eight days putting.
• 51:51
  Speaker 8: Their stuff together. You really have nothing going on in
• 51:54
  Speaker 8: your life.
• 51:54
  Speaker 2: Take the kids out there. Take them trick-or-treating. And that's
• 51:57
  Speaker 2: the end of it.
• 51:57
  Speaker 8: That's all.
• 51:58
  Speaker 2: That's it. And even when you're a, oh, shut up.
• 52:00
  Speaker 2: You see, it happens every time. Happens every time. Joe
• 52:05
  Speaker 2: Nolan and his wife dressed as Peanuts. Every time I
• 52:11
  Speaker 2: call out somebody for doing something ridiculous, there's Joe Nolan.
• 52:14
  Speaker 1: We're all looking at our phones and we all see him.
• 52:17
  Speaker 2: Playing through his Peanuts.
• 52:18
  Speaker 8: It's unbelievably sad.
• 52:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean, they were taunted. There's no other way
• 52:22
  Speaker 2: to put it.
• 52:23
  Speaker 1: And you know what? The hat says Mr. Peanut.
• 52:26
  Speaker 2: I know.
• 52:27
  Speaker 22: You don't know who he is.
• 52:29
  Speaker 2: I got to tell you, I love Tom Sullivan so much.
• 52:31
  Speaker 2: This guy, he served in Iraq. He served in Afghanistan.
• 52:36
  Speaker 2: He served in Kuwait. He literally, working by the World
• 52:39
  Speaker 2: Trade Center, in there, dragged bodies out, saved lives. I mean,
• 52:44
  Speaker 2: this guy is an American hero. And if he ever
• 52:47
  Speaker 2: showed up any place in New York dressed as a peanut,
• 52:52
  Speaker 2: I'm voting for Pesacocina. Have you ever done that, Tom Sullivan?
• 53:00
  Speaker 14: No, no, no. I should get into the spirit, though.
• 53:05
  Speaker 14: I've got to disagree with you a little bit. I
• 53:08
  Speaker 14: have a wonderful sister-in-law who does a great Halloween. I
• 53:11
  Speaker 14: get to enjoy it, and I should participate a little more.
• 53:15
  Speaker 2: No, you shouldn't. Your sister-in-law is crazy. Which one of
• 53:18
  Speaker 2: them is this now? Whose wife?
• 53:20
  Speaker 25: That's Karen.
• 53:21
  Speaker 14: That's your next-door neighbor.
• 53:23
  Speaker 2: The great Karen Barbano married to Brian.
• 53:25
  Speaker 23: Yes.
• 53:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they got to stop that. They're adults. They're not kids.
• 53:28
  Speaker 2: They got to stop. Your brother Mike doesn't get dressed up.
• 53:33
  Speaker 2: What does it go on? Is it a roast beef sandwich? No, no, no.
• 53:36
  Speaker 2: A cheese beef?
• 53:37
  Speaker 14: Mike and I just dress normally.
• 53:39
  Speaker 2: Right, because you're normal. Exactly right. And Russ doesn't do it.
• 53:42
  Speaker 2: He's in Virginia anyway. Seven brothers. You guys, you are
• 53:47
  Speaker 2: Breezy Point. You are Rockaway. We'll be so excited to
• 53:51
  Speaker 2: host your party tonight. At the Bell Harbor Yacht Club. Now,
• 53:55
  Speaker 2: this is, Tom, if I'm correct, this is your third
• 53:58
  Speaker 2: attempt at this seat. Is that right?
• 54:00
  Speaker 14: Yes. Third attempt. 2022 was the first. And I'll tell you,
• 54:05
  Speaker 14: a lot of people remember that race because we were
• 54:10
  Speaker 14: up on election night and late December, shortly before, you know,
• 54:14
  Speaker 14: the holidays came along, we lost by 15th. And back then,
• 54:19
  Speaker 14: you know, fairly unknown quantity in politics and going up
• 54:26
  Speaker 14: against a generation of politicians there. And so it was
• 54:32
  Speaker 14: a tough run, a great run. And naturally, I was
• 54:36
  Speaker 14: already committed to running a second time.
• 54:38
  Speaker 2: Why not? Because you're being nice. She cheated. Stacey Pepper
• 54:42
  Speaker 2: Amato cheated. Her mother and father, God bless them both,
• 54:46
  Speaker 2: in politics. One's a judge. I don't even know what
• 54:48
  Speaker 2: they do. It doesn't matter. You went to bed. You
• 54:50
  Speaker 2: were winning. We've seen this before. And amazingly, they found
• 54:54
  Speaker 2: more and more votes as the days moved along. So
• 54:58
  Speaker 2: I'll say it. She cheated. And so you ran again.
• 55:02
  Speaker 2: And this time around, I don't know much about this
• 55:05
  Speaker 2: Osina guy. I do see TV commercials where Amato actually
• 55:10
  Speaker 2: does the commercials. Don't get paysocked. You see that?
• 55:14
  Speaker 14: Yeah, all the time.
• 55:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they're everywhere, especially during the NFL games. We have a.
• 55:19
  Speaker 14: Few commercials out there now, too. We do good, good, good, good, good.
• 55:23
  Speaker 2: I mean, this guy just came out of nowhere. Who
• 55:25
  Speaker 2: is this guy that you're facing?
• 55:27
  Speaker 14: Well, that's one of the things. You know, he's been
• 55:30
  Speaker 14: around for 20 years working in various city council offices.
• 55:36
  Speaker 14: He worked for the speaker, Adrian Adams. And, you know, look,
• 55:42
  Speaker 14: he's a nice enough guy. We pass cross all the time.
• 55:45
  Speaker 14: We had a debate last night out in Bayswater. It's
• 55:49
  Speaker 14: just he's beholden to these, you know, frankly, anti-police and–
• 55:56
  Speaker 14: democratic social views. And these are all the people that
• 56:00
  Speaker 14: have endorsed them. They put him out there as the candidate. And,
• 56:06
  Speaker 14: you know, I worry about where his votes are going
• 56:09
  Speaker 14: to go and where he's going to lead. So we're
• 56:13
  Speaker 14: out there with the same good message, trying to give
• 56:17
  Speaker 14: people an alternative. You know, some of the things I
• 56:20
  Speaker 14: say now out there is there has 2.4 million people
• 56:24
  Speaker 14: in Queens, right? There hasn't been a Republican representative in
• 56:29
  Speaker 14: the borough of Queens in 30 years.
• 56:32
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 56:33
  Speaker 14: And for the Rockaways, there hasn't been a state representative
• 56:37
  Speaker 14: to represent the Rockaways, which where you live and I live.
• 56:42
  Speaker 14: It's been 1947.
• 56:43
  Speaker 2: Oh, my God.
• 56:45
  Speaker 14: When I go to these civic meetings and these community
• 56:47
  Speaker 14: boards and people say the Republicans, Republicans, I say, what Republicans?
• 56:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but the weird thing is, every one of my
• 56:56
  Speaker 2: neighbors is Republican. I think I got two Democrats in
• 56:59
  Speaker 2: a 10-block radius. They all got the American flags. When
• 57:02
  Speaker 2: Trump runs, almost everyone has a President Trump flag. I mean,
• 57:08
  Speaker 2: I love my neighborhood mostly because I'm surrounded by great
• 57:14
  Speaker 2: Republican Americans. So why don't we win races? I don't
• 57:17
  Speaker 2: get it.
• 57:18
  Speaker 14: Well, you just said the key word, neighborhood, right? I
• 57:21
  Speaker 14: don't know what And I know why. I know why
• 57:25
  Speaker 14: the the assault on all the neighborhoods.
• 57:27
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 57:28
  Speaker 14: It doesn't matter. Ozone Park, Howard Beach, Broad Channel, the
• 57:32
  Speaker 14: Rockaway Peninsula. These were all once single family homes.
• 57:38
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 57:38
  Speaker 14: Like still Bell Harbor is holding on and the Ponson
• 57:42
  Speaker 14: and Rockaway Beach to some extent. But with this housing,
• 57:48
  Speaker 14: this message of need more affordable housing, they're trying to
• 57:53
  Speaker 14: bring everybody into the city, right? You talked about it
• 57:58
  Speaker 14: in the six o'clock hour, how Hochul just has to
• 58:02
  Speaker 14: come to Manhattan, right? Bruce Blakeman has to go all
• 58:05
  Speaker 14: over the state to the less dense areas. So it's
• 58:10
  Speaker 14: not a mystery as to why they want to put
• 58:12
  Speaker 14: so many people into one area, right? That's where the
• 58:16
  Speaker 14: base is. And even up in Ozone Park, Aqueduct Racetrack, right?
• 58:22
  Speaker 14: That's state-owned property. It's 110 acres. I sat on several
• 58:27
  Speaker 14: of the Empire State redevelopment plans. Everything's about 10 and
• 58:34
  Speaker 14: 14-story buildings, and it's all about affordable housing, affordable housing.
• 58:40
  Speaker 14: they just want everybody packed into the cities. It's a strategy.
• 58:43
  Speaker 14: It's the long game for them. And you won't have
• 58:46
  Speaker 14: to campaign anywhere except for, You know, the five boroughs.
• 58:50
  Speaker 2: Right, right. It's the salt on all our neighborhoods. It is, yes.
• 58:55
  Speaker 2: So in terms of endorsements, last time around you picked
• 58:59
  Speaker 2: up Dov Hyken because you need that Jewish vote down
• 59:02
  Speaker 2: there by the Rockaways. And I know you got a
• 59:05
  Speaker 2: guy like Bob Holden, who's also endorsing Bruce Blakeman, another Republican. candidate,
• 59:10
  Speaker 2: because he's a common sense Democrat. Who are some of
• 59:13
  Speaker 2: the bigger names involved in local politics that are on
• 59:17
  Speaker 2: the Tom Sullivan train like I am?
• 59:20
  Speaker 14: Well, when you talk about local politics, right, probably one
• 59:24
  Speaker 14: of the most important endorsements is Councilwoman Joanne Areola, right?
• 59:28
  Speaker 14: She's a Republican in the city council. There's only two
• 59:32
  Speaker 14: in Queens, her and Vicki Palladino. So her endorsement matters
• 59:37
  Speaker 14: quite a bit. And I talk about this a lot.
• 59:40
  Speaker 14: It's great to have big-name endorsements, but locally– People are
• 59:46
  Speaker 14: familiar with these folks. So that's an important endorsement for
• 59:50
  Speaker 14: me there. Something that's never happened in the six years
• 59:54
  Speaker 14: is I have the endorsement of six or seven police unions.
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 2: Huge, huge.
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 14: And associations.
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 14: And you know this, my whole family, Secret Service, Port Authority, police, NYPD, FDNY.
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 14: These folks didn't even want to talk to me in 2022.
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 14: or 24. And so that's a big change, right? And
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 14: that dynamic changed when Stacey decided not to run, right? She,
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 14: her mom had been there for a long time. They
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 14: had these alliances and it was a very difficult nut
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 14: to crack. And that's why we're back for the third time.
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 14: I haven't given up. You're going to win this time.
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 14: We are going to win this time. It will happen.
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 14: That will be the first time that Queens has a
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 14: New York State Republican representative. In 30 years.
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 2: Take me back to the debate with Osina last night.
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 2: Did it get heated at any point? Was there one
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 2: policy difference for you guys? Because you're a pretty calm guy, Tom.
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 2: I mean, for a war hero. And you really are.
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 2: You're humble, but you're an actual war hero. It's unbelievable.
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 2: Because when you meet you, you're like this nice guy.
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 2: A war hero and a guy that saved lives on 9-11.
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 2: Stuff that most mortals just don't do. And you did it.
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 2: You really did it. But again, you're a pretty calm guy.
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 2: Did it get heated at all last night?
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 14: Not at all. So there's reasons for that, right? We
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 14: use the word debate, but it's really not a true debate.
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 14: They don't give you that 30-minute, 30-second rebuttal. It's really
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 14: like they ask a question, you get the response.
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 2: Excuse me, who did this debate last night?
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 14: So this was the Civic. This was the Bayswater Civic.
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 14: Last week was the Bell Harbor Property Owners Association, right?
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 14: They did a fantastic job. The week before that was
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 14: our neighbor's civic. So really, it's tough to get into,
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 14: but they just give you an opportunity to introduce yourself,
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 14: answer a few questions. You both answer the same questions.
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 14: So it's tough to get in there. You know, if
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 14: you see his literature, you would think he's a Republican.
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 14: That's funny.
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 2: They all do that. Swazi does that too. They all
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 2: do that. They come off like they're Republicans or the
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 2: very least common sense. And then as soon as they win,
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 2: they become lunatics. And this guy will do the same thing.
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 2: Trust me.
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 14: No, that's what it's about. So, you know, when, especially
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 14: when it comes up to public safety, right. Hey, I'm
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 14: looking at my commercial now.
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 2: Oh, how cool is that?
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 14: So I'm Fox news. So, um, Yeah, so there's really
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 14: not a chance to call each other out unless you
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 14: want to consume some of your time. And I did
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 14: that once or twice at one of the other debates.
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 14: And like I mentioned, he's a nice enough person. I
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 14: believe I'm much more qualified. And I don't think it's
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 14: a good thing that you've been in the city council
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 14: working for these members for 20 years. These are the
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 14: people that gave us.
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 2: Oh, maniacs.
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 14: Anti-police sentiment.
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 25: Maniacs.
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 14: And it's more of a culture that's been created. And
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 14: I want to point out one right now. I mean,
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 14: Beach 130th Street, what they wrote on the walls and
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 14: the storage container down there.
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 2: I saw that. Yeah, bad. Very bad.
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 14: Yesterday, defacing the 9-11 memorial.
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, tell me about this again. I keep telling everybody
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 2: that you save lives in the World Trade Center. So
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 2: where they have the names of the people that perished
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 2: on 9-11 by the fountains, there was graffiti written on
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 2: it last night. It's on your Instagram page this morning.
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 2: I know you take that very, very close to your heart.
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 14: Very personal, right? First of all, these were my friends.
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 14: These were, uh, teammates. These were people that would come
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 14: to family functions, closest families you can get. And, uh,
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 14: I just, uh, you know, you talk about me being
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 14: a calm person, uh, that kind of crap has to stop. Um,
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 14: it was only four days ago that some maniac went
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 14: ahead and decapitated, decapitated some of the heads off the, uh,
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 14: the Iwo Jima statue outside the Marine Corps base down
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 14: in Virginia.
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 2: Oh, my God.
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 14: Yeah, I mean, it's cost a half a million dollars
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 14: worth of damage. And it's a sickness. It's an absolute
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 14: sickness that people can get away with this stuff. The
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 14: ignorance and hatred is a horrible combination. And I know
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 14: you know that because that's what we see with what's
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 14: happening with the Jewish community.
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 14: And it's ignorance, hatred, and it's not good for any
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 14: of us.
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 2: Well, I don't have to worry about you guys when
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 2: it comes to fighting anti-Semitism. I don't have to worry
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 2: about the Sullivan family. You guys are great friends of
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 2: the Jewish community. So on the way out, my dear
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 2: friend Tom Sullivan, again, stop by the Bell Harbor Yacht
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 2: Club tonight. We've got a big party for Tom. The
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 2: amazing attorney Thomas Knipp is going to be there. I'll
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 2: be there hosting. Who knows who else may show up?
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 2: Lou's going to be there. MJ's going to be there.
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 2: But folks, I want to give you a couple of
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 2: bucks before Tuesday's election. What's the easiest way to do that?
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 14: The best way is to go to SullivanStateAssembly.com, and you'll
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 14: see the opportunity to donate. Every donation is appreciated. Listen...
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 14: I was outspent 12 to 1 on a lot of
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 14: these campaigns, you know, a couple of million dollars spent
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 14: on the other side. I don't pride myself in spending
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 14: other people's money like this, you know, but it just
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 14: helps get us through the finish line. And third time's
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 14: a charm for us. And we're going in for the
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 14: win here.
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 2: You're going to win. Tom Sullivan, you're a terrific guy.
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 2: Your whole family is beautiful. I love all you guys,
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 2: all seven of you guys and your beautiful mom. But
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 2: you specifically are a very, very special guy. I mean that, Thomas.
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 2: You know, Daniela, my kids feel the same.
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 25: You got it.
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 14: Good luck to her. Thank you. And her efforts. You
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 14: mentioned an award she received the other day for running
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 14: on different teams. Different races and different.
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 2: Continents, right? Well, the marathon, much like tennis and golf,
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 2: they have majors. And there are three domestic races, New York, Chicago,
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 2: and Boston. And there are three international races, which include Berlin, Tokyo,
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 2: and London. She's done them all. By the way, this year,
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 2: they entered a seventh. Australia is now part of it.
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 2: But Danielle, luckily... got the Abbott Award when it was
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 2: only six, and now she's done all six. Yeah, pretty amazing.
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 2: Good luck to her. Thank you, buddy. We will see
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 2: you tonight. I love you to pieces. Tom Sullivan running
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 2: a great campaign. You will win, and we'll all celebrate
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 2: next Tuesday night. Thank you, Thomas.
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 14: You got it. By the way, the cereal, the containers
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 14: help keep the ants out, and it lets you know
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 14: when you're running low there, Sid.
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 2: Well done. Tom Sullivan right there, folks. Part of that
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 2: amazing Sullivan family. I love them all.
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 3: Sid and friends in the morning on the Red Apple
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 3: Podcast Network.
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 27: I call him Mohammed. He goes by Abdul. Abdul Ramadan.
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 23: I called him Mohammed, and then I found out his
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 23: name was actually, his middle name is Mohammed. No, he's,
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 23: I would say he's changed, I would think, equally as much.
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 23: These are people, we can't.
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 11: Have these people in the United States.
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 23: With him, I don't know if we have to do
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 23: it with Telefrico, but with the guy up in Michigan,
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 23: we're going to have to do the, you know, the test,
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 23: the metal detector test before he's allowed to sit every day.
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 14: He's going to have to.
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 23: Go through a metal detector test.
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 14: In the United States Congress.
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 23: We have people that should not be running for politics
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 23: in this country.
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 2: And we're never going to allow Sharia law. And the
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 2: reason why we played that song just now, we do
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 2: love the song, Tom Petty, it won't back down. That
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 2: is the theme song for my dear friend, I love
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 2: her so much, the great Queens councilwoman, Vicky Palladino. Anytime
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 2: Vicky has one of her parties and Hits the stage.

• 1:09:00
  Speaker 8: See that? You know what I did say?

• 1:09:03
  Speaker 15: Somebody you could rely on, Miss Victoria Paladino.
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 2: She is great. Now, should I give her age? Probably not, right?
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 2: I shouldn't give her age.
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 8: No, just give out everything. Give as much personal information
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 8: as you can.
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 2: Mom, she told me her age. I didn't ask for it.
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 2: She told me it, so.
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 15: Yeah, but I think she told you not to give
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 15: it out.
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 2: Well, she didn't say that, no. She didn't say that,

  Speaker 8: It does.
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 2: We celebrated a birthday last night, too. Our dear friend

  Speaker 2: Keith Kantruitz. We love Keith. His birthday was on the 17th,
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 2: but we had a big dinner last night at Rosanna
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 2: Scotto's great restaurant, Fresco. And a lot of the guys
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 2: were there. Not all of them. Lewis couldn't make it.
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 2: And Al Volpe was home. He was not feeling well.
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 2: But Keith was there. And Andy Alpstein, we love him.

• 1:10:13
  Speaker 2: She's a brain surgeon. And Leslie Dixon, the great doctor.

• 1:10:20
  Speaker 2: She was there last night for a bit. And Briella Tomasetti, who,
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 2: of course, worked at Channel 5 all those years. So
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 2: it was a great night, and Keith had a great time.
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 2: And there are birthdays all over the place today, Vicky
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 2: Palladino and Keith. So I'm getting a whole bunch of
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 2: text messages this morning. You must have missed the 6
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 2: o'clock hour. I broke it down pretty well, going, how
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 2: did BB do? How did BB do? Well, I'll tell
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 2: you this. The media, which just like in the United States,
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 2: is crooked and corrupt in Israel, they lean all the
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 2: way to the left. There's one station in Israel, Channel 14,
• 1:10:59
  Speaker 2: that's kind of like Fox News and Newsmax here. Channels 11, 12,
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 2: and 13, they're like CNN and MSNOW. So the majority
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 2: of the Israeli media hates Bibi, just like the majority
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 2: of the American media hates Trump, right? The polls do
• 1:11:19
  Speaker 2: the same thing to Bibi in Israel as they do
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 2: to Republicans in the United States. So we were led
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 2: to believe that Bibi's reign was over. It was done.
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 2: Everybody hates him. He's responsible for October the 7th. Hostages
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 2: were killed. It's over. Bibi's done. And then they had
• 1:11:42
  Speaker 2: this weird thing. It's called an election. Where Bibi has
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 2: won five of the last six elections in Israel. Okay?
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 2: He got job once. Now, Tali Bennett, that backstabber, was
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 2: prime minister for about 15 minutes. Otherwise, Bibi wins every time.
• 1:11:59
  Speaker 2: Every time. But yesterday, no, no, no. Bibi's done. Well,
• 1:12:03
  Speaker 2: guess what, folks? The reports of Bibi's demise once again...
• 1:12:10
  Speaker 2: or premature and inaccurate. For what it's worth, he did
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 2: not get to 61. He did not win it outright,
• 1:12:17
  Speaker 2: but he's winning. He got the most votes. Likud is
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 2: the biggest party, and Bibi outperformed in a big way.
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 2: The left, they were disappointing. Eisenkot was going to win. No,
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 2: he's not winning. He's about five or six seats less
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 2: at this point than Bibi. But let's go to Israel.
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 2: Let's go to Alex Draymond. He's in Jerusalem. He covers
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 2: it every day. JNS.org. He knows what he's talking about.
• 1:12:44
  Speaker 2: And get the latest update.
• 1:12:46
  Speaker 1: You've got a voice. A big voice. Use it often.
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 2: Sound off on Talk Radio 77 WABC. Dr. Ophir Falk
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 2: happens to be B.B. Netanyahu's senior policy advisor, was on
• 1:12:59
  Speaker 2: this show yesterday. To Mark Levin, to my favorite of all, the...
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 2: CEO of JNS.org, the great Alex Treyman. Now, you know
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 2: something big is going on in Israel when Treyman, who's
• 1:13:12
  Speaker 2: now been on this show over 200 times since October
• 1:13:17
  Speaker 2: 7th of 2023, is now on for the third consecutive day. Alex,
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 2: must be something big going on in Israel.
• 1:13:26
  Speaker 13: Oh, definitely things going on in a big way here.
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 13: Elections yet again, but the first election after October 7th,
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 13: And the opposition here was certain that they were going
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 13: to finally dislodge Israel's indispensable man, the longest serving prime minister,
• 1:13:43
  Speaker 13: Benjamin Netanyahu.
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 2: And what is.
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 13: Clear from the early results, and there are still ballots
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 13: to be counted, but it is clear that Netanyahu remains
• 1:13:53
  Speaker 13: the man of the hour and is unlikely to be
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 13: budged from the prime minister's chair.
• 1:13:57
  Speaker 2: That's what Falk told me this morning, and for me,
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 2: that's a victory. Look, I know you need the 61
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 2: votes to get the clear-cut win, but how I see this,
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 2: and of course, I'm not there, so you tell me
• 1:14:08
  Speaker 2: if I'm wrong. As long as it's not a loss.
• 1:14:11
  Speaker 2: In other words, a win, great. He gets... to 61.
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 2: He's not going to get there. He'll be in the mid-50s.
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 2: But a stalemate, which I think is where we are
• 1:14:19
  Speaker 2: right now, is also a win for Netanyahu. All I
• 1:14:22
  Speaker 2: heard about the last couple of weeks, including my own daughter,
• 1:14:25
  Speaker 2: was that he was going to lose badly and the
• 1:14:28
  Speaker 2: Israelis hate him and New Yorkers hate him and It's over.
• 1:14:31
  Speaker 2: And correct me if I'm wrong. Clearly, he outperformed what
• 1:14:36
  Speaker 2: everybody thought, including channels 11, 12 and 13. They're lying
• 1:14:40
  Speaker 2: this morning. I know that. But a stalemate is a win.
• 1:14:42
  Speaker 2: Is that not right?
• 1:14:43
  Speaker 13: Well, you're correct that the polls predicted an overwhelming loss
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 13: for Netanyahu and predicted that the Ashar party led by
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 13: Gotti Eisenkot would be the largest when the counting was done.
• 1:14:57
  Speaker 13: But it is clear now with about a third. Maybe
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 13: 40% of the votes counted that Netanyahu's Likud party is
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 13: the largest party by at least five seats. They remain
• 1:15:09
  Speaker 13: the largest ruling party in the country. Netanyahu's block, the
• 1:15:13
  Speaker 13: right-wing block of the current coalition, is significantly larger, maybe
• 1:15:18
  Speaker 13: as many as six to eight seats larger than the
• 1:15:21
  Speaker 13: opposition block. So while there's not a clear path to
• 1:15:24
  Speaker 13: 61 and a comfortable ruling majority, it's going to be
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 13: very difficult today. for the left wing to unseat them.
• 1:15:32
  Speaker 13: And so you have two likely situations right now, which
• 1:15:35
  Speaker 13: is either some kind of a rotation agreement where members
• 1:15:38
  Speaker 13: of the opposition that pledged not to sit with Netanyahu
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 13: concede and agree to sit with Netanyahu at least for
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 13: the next two years under his leadership, or we will
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 13: careen into yet another election.
• 1:15:51
  Speaker 2: But another election would keep Netanyahu in power. I mean, look,
• 1:15:54
  Speaker 2: I think that sane people like me, sane people, okay,
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 2: and I don't live there, so I know people hate
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 2: his guts, but as long as President Trump remains in
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 2: power here for the next two years, We need Bibi
• 1:16:07
  Speaker 2: to be in power too because we've got the common enemy, Iran.
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 2: Both of those guys, Trump and Netanyahu, they're out there
• 1:16:15
  Speaker 2: to make sure that Iran doesn't kill any more Americans
• 1:16:18
  Speaker 2: than Israelis. So if in fact there's another election coming up,
• 1:16:23
  Speaker 2: that means that Netanyahu stays in power And anybody with
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 2: half a brain should want Netanyahu in power as long
• 1:16:30
  Speaker 2: as President Trump is in power. Does that sound right?
• 1:16:33
  Speaker 13: Well, it's almost right because Netanyahu would remain in power
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 13: in a caretaker formula.
• 1:16:41
  Speaker 25: He would be the prime minister.
• 1:16:42
  Speaker 13: He would have less authority than he would have with
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 13: a ruling coalition. There are big questions about whether the
• 1:16:50
  Speaker 13: military and the military, by and large, does not sit
• 1:16:55
  Speaker 13: on the same side of the political spectrum as Netanyahu.
• 1:16:57
  Speaker 13: If they would work together conducively with the prime minister
• 1:17:04
  Speaker 13: to affect a war against Iran, to conduct war, they
• 1:17:08
  Speaker 13: might say there's no mandate for a major military action.
• 1:17:12
  Speaker 13: So it's not so simple. It's not just that Netanyahu
• 1:17:15
  Speaker 13: gets to continue going on as if nothing happened. in
• 1:17:19
  Speaker 13: an electoral stalemate. It's not a clear victory. As I
• 1:17:23
  Speaker 13: said to you before, it's more like a tie, and
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 13: it becomes complicated. And he will be consumed with electoral politics,
• 1:17:31
  Speaker 13: trying to get a coalition together, working with President Herzog.
• 1:17:36
  Speaker 13: I think that the much better situation would be for
• 1:17:39
  Speaker 13: either Gotti-Eisenkot or Naftali Bennett or Avigdor Lieberman to do
• 1:17:44
  Speaker 13: the right thing, understand the importance of this critical moment
• 1:17:48
  Speaker 13: and agree, at least for a short period of time,
• 1:17:51
  Speaker 13: to sit together with Prime Minister Netanyahu so that he
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 13: can govern and he can conduct this war as it
• 1:17:57
  Speaker 13: needs to happen.
• 1:17:58
  Speaker 2: It sounds so weird here because it's almost like, well,
• 1:18:01
  Speaker 2: we need Joe Biden to sit with President Trump. We
• 1:18:05
  Speaker 2: need Barack Obama to sit with President Trump or Harris.
• 1:18:08
  Speaker 2: Just doesn't happen here because, look, the truth is, and
• 1:18:12
  Speaker 2: if I'm wrong, correct me, but I think the truth
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 2: is at least that Eisencott and Bibi, they've been throwing
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 2: barbs at each other. It's been a very heated and
• 1:18:20
  Speaker 2: nasty battle in Israel. So what are the realistic odds,
• 1:18:24
  Speaker 2: realistic odds of these guys sitting down with Bibi when
• 1:18:28
  Speaker 2: they spent the last months or whatever it is, just
• 1:18:31
  Speaker 2: hammering each other?
• 1:18:32
  Speaker 13: Well, you know, we had five consecutive elections in Israel
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 13: between 2022 and 2024. And in the third election, Benny
• 1:18:40
  Speaker 13: Gantz was running against Benjamin Netanyahu the same way that
• 1:18:44
  Speaker 13: Gadi Eizenkot, who was just number two in Benny Gantz's
• 1:18:46
  Speaker 13: party in the last Knesset, is running against Netanyahu. And
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 13: in that third election, when the ballots were counted, all
• 1:18:54
  Speaker 13: of a sudden you had this global crisis, which was COVID-19.
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 13: And at that time, it was understood that the situation
• 1:19:02
  Speaker 13: was bigger. than Israeli politics. And Benny Gantz agreed in
• 1:19:06
  Speaker 13: those circumstances to sit in a rotation agreement and unify
• 1:19:10
  Speaker 13: the country to deal with COVID-19. And I would imagine
• 1:19:14
  Speaker 13: that President Trump's strong endorsement and his willingness now to
• 1:19:19
  Speaker 13: go fly side by side once again to take out
• 1:19:22
  Speaker 13: the Islamic Republic, an existential threat to Israel if they
• 1:19:26
  Speaker 13: develop nuclear weapons, is a crisis and an opportunity that
• 1:19:31
  Speaker 13: supersedes the electoral deadlock And because of the great magnitude
• 1:19:36
  Speaker 13: of this moment, you would hope that politicians would put
• 1:19:39
  Speaker 13: their egos aside, even if just temporarily, in order to
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 13: deal with the Iranian threat once and for all.
• 1:19:46
  Speaker 2: My dear friend, the great CEO of JNS.org, Alex Trayman,
• 1:19:50
  Speaker 2: live in Jerusalem this morning. Yeah, you know, President Trump,
• 1:19:54
  Speaker 2: I think, is already taking credit. I think he said, look,
• 1:19:57
  Speaker 2: Bibi was about to get killed, and I came out
• 1:20:00
  Speaker 2: with my second endorsement. It looks like now Bibi is
• 1:20:03
  Speaker 2: going to remain, the prime minister remain in power. So,
• 1:20:06
  Speaker 2: you know, President Trump, you know, his personality, I think
• 1:20:10
  Speaker 2: he's already taking credit. for whatever success Bibi has enjoyed
• 1:20:14
  Speaker 2: the last couple of days?
• 1:20:15
  Speaker 13: Well, certainly the strong relationship between President Trump and Prime
• 1:20:20
  Speaker 13: Minister Netanyahu is one of the greatest aces up Netanyahu's
• 1:20:23
  Speaker 13: sleeve right now. I don't know that the endorsement, and
• 1:20:26
  Speaker 13: we don't really have a great way of seeing this scientifically,
• 1:20:30
  Speaker 13: if the endorsement actually boosted Netanyahu in the polls, meaning
• 1:20:34
  Speaker 13: that people would have voted for Netanyahu's opponents if it
• 1:20:36
  Speaker 13: hadn't been for that endorsement. But as Prime Minister Netanyahu
• 1:20:41
  Speaker 13: has been keen to do over the years while working
• 1:20:44
  Speaker 13: with the American president, let Trump take credit for everything
• 1:20:47
  Speaker 13: he wants to take credit for, because that only keeps
• 1:20:51
  Speaker 13: Trump closer to Netanyahu and closer to helping Israel achieve
• 1:20:56
  Speaker 13: the things that it needs to achieve, and certainly eliminating
• 1:21:00
  Speaker 13: the Islamic Republic is on the top of the agenda
• 1:21:03
  Speaker 13: right now.
• 1:21:03
  Speaker 2: So again, only about one-third of the vote is in,
• 1:21:06
  Speaker 2: so I guess there is room for some change, but
• 1:21:09
  Speaker 2: it does look like, at the very least, if not
• 1:21:12
  Speaker 2: a win for Bibi, there's a stalemate, which in essence
• 1:21:15
  Speaker 2: is a win for Bibi. So why do you think...
• 1:21:18
  Speaker 2: that the polls and the media and the people in
• 1:21:21
  Speaker 2: the streets had it all wrong. Why do you think
• 1:21:24
  Speaker 2: that Bibi Netanyahu did outperform when most people thought this
• 1:21:29
  Speaker 2: was it?
• 1:21:29
  Speaker 13: Well, the polling agencies and the media collude in Israel,
• 1:21:32
  Speaker 13: and they have been against Netanyahu for now decades. They
• 1:21:37
  Speaker 13: just want him out so badly, and they don't use
• 1:21:39
  Speaker 13: polling as an accurate representation of what people are actually
• 1:21:43
  Speaker 13: going to do. They use it as a as a
• 1:21:45
  Speaker 13: projection of what they want people to do. And these
• 1:21:49
  Speaker 13: polling agencies and the left-wing media channels, 11, 12, 13,
• 1:21:52
  Speaker 13: they have egg on their face this morning. And Prime
• 1:21:55
  Speaker 13: Minister Netanyahu, it's not the situation that he would have wanted.
• 1:21:59
  Speaker 13: He would have wanted to get the same result that
• 1:22:01
  Speaker 13: he had four years ago with a very clear ruling majority.
• 1:22:05
  Speaker 13: He doesn't have that, but he certainly is not being
• 1:22:09
  Speaker 13: forced to leave, like Gadi Isinkad and Yair Lapid were
• 1:22:14
  Speaker 13: saying last night at 10 p.m. when those same polling
• 1:22:17
  Speaker 13: agencies were showing exit polls stating that the Likud was
• 1:22:21
  Speaker 13: doing much worse. The actual count this morning indicates that
• 1:22:25
  Speaker 13: Likud is the largest party by far and the one
• 1:22:28
  Speaker 13: that should be given the first opportunity to form a government.
• 1:22:32
  Speaker 2: So let's wrap this up in a nice little bow,
• 1:22:34
  Speaker 2: and let me let you get back to doing your
• 1:22:36
  Speaker 2: amazing work for JNS.org in Jerusalem. It looks like Bibi
• 1:22:40
  Speaker 2: has outperformed what the experts said was going to happen.
• 1:22:44
  Speaker 2: It looks like Bibi, at the very least, will stay
• 1:22:47
  Speaker 2: in power for some time. He did not get the 61,
• 1:22:50
  Speaker 2: but he will end up with the most seats compared
• 1:22:54
  Speaker 2: to the other guys who are out to get him
• 1:22:56
  Speaker 2: out of there, get him out of there. That is
• 1:22:58
  Speaker 2: basically what's happened here.
• 1:23:00
  Speaker 22: B.B.
• 1:23:01
  Speaker 2: Outperforms what people thought. It wasn't as big as it
• 1:23:04
  Speaker 2: was a couple of years ago. But the end of B.B.,
• 1:23:08
  Speaker 2: the end of B.B. certainly didn't happen last night.
• 1:23:11
  Speaker 14: That's right.
• 1:23:12
  Speaker 13: And the other big surprise in this election is that
• 1:23:14
  Speaker 13: the Arab seats, and these are– parties that are against
• 1:23:18
  Speaker 13: the State of Israel, that support a Palestinian state, that
• 1:23:21
  Speaker 13: some of them even support Hamas. You know, they received
• 1:23:26
  Speaker 13: 16 seats, at least, in this current government. That's six
• 1:23:31
  Speaker 13: more than they had, and that really affects the electoral politics.
• 1:23:34
  Speaker 13: So the fact that you have anti-Zionist Arab parties receiving
• 1:23:39
  Speaker 13: so many seats out of the 120 is That's really
• 1:23:43
  Speaker 13: throwing a wrench. If those Arab seats weren't there, it
• 1:23:45
  Speaker 13: would be very clear majority for Netanyahu and his right
• 1:23:48
  Speaker 13: wing against the Jewish opposition on the left. So it's
• 1:23:53
  Speaker 13: really a very complicated situation. The left would like to
• 1:23:57
  Speaker 13: sit with the Arabs, and it means that they actually
• 1:23:59
  Speaker 13: prefer sitting with the Arabs over sitting with Netanyahu. And
• 1:24:03
  Speaker 13: that is actually a crisis in the Israeli electoral system.
• 1:24:07
  Speaker 13: So something that Israelis are going to have to grapple with.
• 1:24:10
  Speaker 13: as they figure out now who's going to be their
• 1:24:11
  Speaker 13: next prime minister.
• 1:24:12
  Speaker 2: So are you telling me that members of the left,
• 1:24:14
  Speaker 2: Eisencad or any one of these guys, you can envision
• 1:24:19
  Speaker 2: them actually sitting with the Arabs?
• 1:24:21
  Speaker 13: Well, when Naftali Bennett became the prime minister, he sat
• 1:24:24
  Speaker 13: with Mansour Abbas, the head of the Ram party. They
• 1:24:27
  Speaker 13: were a small party.
• 1:24:28
  Speaker 2: With four seats.
• 1:24:29
  Speaker 13: They're not as extreme as some of the other era members.
• 1:24:33
  Speaker 13: But in this, configuration right now, even with that Rom Party,
• 1:24:37
  Speaker 13: they wouldn't be able to get to 61. So they
• 1:24:39
  Speaker 13: would actually have to sit with extremely anti-Zionist parties in
• 1:24:45
  Speaker 13: order to oust Netanyahu. They may be looking for a
• 1:24:48
  Speaker 13: way to not form a government, but still get 61
• 1:24:53
  Speaker 13: votes to try to change the law to make it
• 1:24:56
  Speaker 13: so that Netanyahu, who currently remains under trial in bogus
• 1:25:00
  Speaker 13: corruption case for more than six years already... to pass
• 1:25:05
  Speaker 13: a law that would prevent Netanyahu from being able to
• 1:25:08
  Speaker 13: run in a future election.
• 1:25:10
  Speaker 25: So they might.
• 1:25:11
  Speaker 13: Try to collude with the Heira parties to make it
• 1:25:14
  Speaker 13: complicated for Netanyahu to run again. I don't think that's
• 1:25:17
  Speaker 13: going to happen. I don't think the Supreme Court would
• 1:25:18
  Speaker 13: let that happen, even though the court is not in
• 1:25:20
  Speaker 13: favor of Netanyahu either. And President Herzog, he also holds
• 1:25:24
  Speaker 13: an ace up his sleeve, which is a presidential pardon.
• 1:25:27
  Speaker 13: We know that President Trump has called on Herzog to
• 1:25:29
  Speaker 13: pardon Netanyahu multiple times, And that's something that Herzog could
• 1:25:34
  Speaker 13: do if he feels like the Arabs together with the
• 1:25:37
  Speaker 13: left are trying to unfairly invalidate Netanyahu.
• 1:25:43
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 1:25:43
  Speaker 2: Unbelievable. The drama continues. Well, you and I will talk
• 1:25:47
  Speaker 2: all day today. If there's any major change, feel free
• 1:25:50
  Speaker 2: to call the show live. And tell us. I don't
• 1:25:53
  Speaker 2: anticipate that. I know you don't either. But certainly a
• 1:25:56
  Speaker 2: lot going on in Israel. And at least if you're
• 1:25:58
  Speaker 2: a BB fan like I am, the news looks, at
• 1:26:01
  Speaker 2: least now, pretty good. Alex Trayman, I love you. You're great.
• 1:26:05
  Speaker 2: Your new story on JNS.org is a must read. Thank
• 1:26:08
  Speaker 2: you for doing this this morning. And we'll talk very,
• 1:26:10
  Speaker 2: very soon.
• 1:26:11
  Speaker 25: Looking forward.
• 1:26:12
  Speaker 13: Thank you so much, Sid.
• 1:26:13
  Speaker 2: God bless you. Alex Treyman right there, the CEO of JNS.org.
• 1:26:17
  Speaker 2: And if you're a BB supporter like me, for the
• 1:26:20
  Speaker 2: most part, for the most part, that was a pretty
• 1:26:22
  Speaker 2: positive conversation. More to come. You know, talking about Israel,
• 1:26:27
  Speaker 2: this Sunday is a New York City marathon. My next guest,
• 1:26:30
  Speaker 2: one of the greatest New York football giant players ever.
• 1:26:34
  Speaker 2: He's run this marathon a bunch, but his favorite marathon
• 1:26:38
  Speaker 2: may be the one in Israel.
• 1:26:40
  Speaker 3: Sid and Friends in the Morning on the Red Apple
• 1:26:44
  Speaker 3: Podcast Network.
• 1:26:46
  Speaker 2: So the Knickerbockers are back in the win column. If
• 1:26:49
  Speaker 2: they're winning at all, now at 1-3, the Nets almost won, too. Yeah. Oh,
• 1:26:55
  Speaker 2: those Brooklyn Nets. They lost a heartbreaker, 125-124.
• 1:27:01
  Speaker 14: Ouch.
• 1:27:01
  Speaker 2: So the Nets remain winless. They're 0-4. For people paying
• 1:27:06
  Speaker 2: attention to the winter sports, right now it's the Giants.
• 1:27:10
  Speaker 2: Giants are 4-2-1, and J.J. McCarthy looks like the real deal.
• 1:27:14
  Speaker 2: Giants has got a huge road win in Houston against
• 1:27:18
  Speaker 2: the Texans. And nobody else inside that division is even 500.
• 1:27:22
  Speaker 2: The Cowboys beat the Eagles Monday night just to improve
• 1:27:27
  Speaker 2: to 3-4. Told you, Scott Arbus. The Eagles are done. 2-5,
• 1:27:32
  Speaker 2: no Jalen Hurts. Redskins are no good. So this crazy notion...
• 1:27:38
  Speaker 2: that the football Giants can win the NFC East is
• 1:27:42
  Speaker 2: not so crazy. Seven games, John Harbaugh, his first season,
• 1:27:48
  Speaker 2: Super Bowl winning coach, for the Giants, seven games, has
• 1:27:52
  Speaker 2: now had three different starting quarterbacks. That's a lot. Three
• 1:27:58
  Speaker 2: in seven games, starting with Jackson Dart, which we have
• 1:28:02
  Speaker 2: is coming along, Jameis Winston, and now McCarthy. So not only...
• 1:28:07
  Speaker 2: has yet to use three quarterbacks in seven games, but
• 1:28:10
  Speaker 2: they're a winning football team. 4-2-1, and they look good.
• 1:28:14
  Speaker 2: They actually look really good. So that's the talk right now.
• 1:28:18
  Speaker 2: Yankees and Mets, we have no idea if there's even
• 1:28:21
  Speaker 2: going to be baseball next year. The Brewers are still
• 1:28:25
  Speaker 2: about to beat Tampa Bay. The Rays did win last night,
• 1:28:27
  Speaker 2: but that series, still a commanding lead for Milwaukee, three
• 1:28:30
  Speaker 2: games to one. So baseball is really on the back burner,
• 1:28:34
  Speaker 2: you know. And the Rangers started off the season playing well.
• 1:28:38
  Speaker 2: Now they give up goals every couple of seconds. They
• 1:28:41
  Speaker 2: should have gotten Halibut. He went to New Jersey. And
• 1:28:45
  Speaker 2: he was great last night.
• 1:28:46
  Speaker 8: Great. Joe is like freaking out.
• 1:28:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, me too. I mean, at your party at... What
• 1:28:53
  Speaker 2: a great party that was at Adrian's in, what is
• 1:28:56
  Speaker 2: the name of that area?
• 1:28:57
  Speaker 8: Broad Channel.
• 1:28:58
  Speaker 2: Broad Channel. Pete Morgan walks in. He's like, I think
• 1:29:01
  Speaker 2: the Rangers are getting Halliburton.
• 1:29:02
  Speaker 15: Yeah, he freaks everybody out, too.
• 1:29:03
  Speaker 2: Right? And he goes to New Jersey. I got to
• 1:29:07
  Speaker 2: tell you, I'm going to make my boy Joe Nolan happy.
• 1:29:10
  Speaker 2: The Devils, they become a real, real formidable shot in
• 1:29:18
  Speaker 2: the East with Halliburton in the net, Jack Hughes. I agree. Right?
• 1:29:23
  Speaker 15: Yeah, I agree. He's a big guy to get.
• 1:29:26
  Speaker 8: Huge.
• 1:29:27
  Speaker 15: Very, very experienced, high-pressure goaltender.
• 1:29:31
  Speaker 23: Yeah.
• 1:29:32
  Speaker 15: And he's got some good players going to be around
• 1:29:35
  Speaker 15: him in Jersey.
• 1:29:36
  Speaker 25: Right.
• 1:29:36
  Speaker 8: So they could start moving up.
• 1:29:38
  Speaker 2: The Devils could be tough, yeah.
• 1:29:39
  Speaker 15: They have one of the top goalies in the league,
• 1:29:42
  Speaker 15: if not the.
• 1:29:43
  Speaker 2: The man that just won the Olympic gold for us
• 1:29:45
  Speaker 2: in that amazing game against Canada. So that is basically
• 1:29:48
  Speaker 2: your sports update. Sitting friends in the morning talking about sports.
• 1:29:53
  Speaker 2: We will talk next hour to the greatest, I believe,
• 1:29:57
  Speaker 2: running back in Giant history. I know we've had some
• 1:30:00
  Speaker 2: big-time running backs, Joe Morris and Frank Gifford dating all
• 1:30:03
  Speaker 2: the way back to way back when, and Rodney Hampton
• 1:30:06
  Speaker 2: and O.J. Anderson, but nobody was like Tiki. Tiki was
• 1:30:10
  Speaker 2: like Marshall Falk. Every year. The last five years, he
• 1:30:14
  Speaker 2: averaged 1,500 yards on the ground and 500 yards receiving.
• 1:30:18
  Speaker 2: If he would have played one more year, two more years,
• 1:30:21
  Speaker 2: he'd be in the Hall of Fame. Unstoppable. But he's
• 1:30:24
  Speaker 2: coming on to talk about, believe it or not, running
• 1:30:27
  Speaker 2: the New York City Marathon on Sunday, like my beautiful
• 1:30:29
  Speaker 2: wife Danielle's about to do. So I'll talk to Tiki
• 1:30:32
  Speaker 2: Barber and a young lady who I really want to win.
• 1:30:35
  Speaker 2: She is by far the more impressive candidate in the
• 1:30:40
  Speaker 2: race for Attorney General. Our good friend, Saritha, come at
• 1:30:44
  Speaker 2: the ready. She's going to join us next hour as well.
• 1:30:47
  Speaker 2: And then the brilliant actor, very funny comedian, great New Yorker,
• 1:30:52
  Speaker 2: Michael Rappaport. Barber, Sarita, and Rappaport.
• 1:30:57
  Speaker 3: Sid and Friends in the Morning on the Red Apple
• 1:31:00
  Speaker 3: Podcast Network.
• 1:31:03
  Speaker 2: I love Israel. I know you think that everybody hates Israel.
• 1:31:06
  Speaker 2: You're stupid if you think that's the case. I love
• 1:31:09
  Speaker 2: President Trump. I love America. And I love our veterans.
• 1:31:13
  Speaker 2: Toy soldiers. They're real soldiers. But I'm very, very proud
• 1:31:17
  Speaker 2: of my dear buddy in the city council out of
• 1:31:20
  Speaker 2: Staten Island, Frank Marano. Frank has introduced a bill, Intro 1051,
• 1:31:26
  Speaker 2: to completely eliminate property taxes for veterans who are permanently
• 1:31:32
  Speaker 2: and totally disabled because of their military service. It's got
• 1:31:38
  Speaker 2: 22 sponsors now, Democrats and Republicans. He's trying to get
• 1:31:42
  Speaker 2: it passed November 12th, right after Veterans Day. So help
• 1:31:47
  Speaker 2: my man Frank out. He's trying to help out the veterans.
• 1:31:50
  Speaker 2: This is an amazing bill, 1051. These veterans who sacrificed,
• 1:31:58
  Speaker 2: some make the ultimate sacrifice. He's not talking about them,
• 1:32:00
  Speaker 2: but he's talking about veterans who were injured, need help,
• 1:32:05
  Speaker 2: and get rid of their property taxes. I love it.
• 1:32:08
  Speaker 2: I think it's great. So good luck to you, Frank.
• 1:32:11
  Speaker 2: One more note. My nephew Logan, Logan Schuster, my little
• 1:32:15
  Speaker 2: sister Elizabeth, his son, he's getting set to get married
• 1:32:18
  Speaker 2: to his fiancee Maggie. They live down in Florida in Parkland.
• 1:32:21
  Speaker 2: I think they actually live in Fort Lauderdale. Anyway, they
• 1:32:24
  Speaker 2: booked the Oheka Castle, which is a beautiful place out
• 1:32:28
  Speaker 2: on Long Island. I've been there for a couple of
• 1:32:30
  Speaker 2: golf events with Big Daddy. You know Big Daddy, Rich.
• 1:32:33
  Speaker 2: So they booked the event, and then they find out
• 1:32:36
  Speaker 2: the place is basically being put on auction. Yeah, didn't
• 1:32:39
  Speaker 2: it just sell? They sold it. Yes, good job, Justin. Oh, thanks.
• 1:32:42
  Speaker 2: They sold it yesterday for $ 72 million. Whoa. Well, it
• 1:32:47
  Speaker 2: is a very nice property. I've been there, too. Oh,
• 1:32:49
  Speaker 2: it's gorgeous.
• 1:32:50
  Speaker 27: Yeah.
• 1:32:50
  Speaker 2: Gorgeous. Really nice. So it has been sold. I think
• 1:32:53
  Speaker 2: Michael Cohen bought it. I'm not sure. Is that true
• 1:32:56
  Speaker 2: or no?
• 1:32:57
  Speaker 1: I don't think that's true.
• 1:32:57
  Speaker 2: Okay. Somebody bought it. $ 72 million. So Logan and Maggie,
• 1:33:03
  Speaker 2: it looks like the wedding is still on. That's a
• 1:33:05
  Speaker 2: good news. All right, we got a big day coming
• 1:33:07
  Speaker 2: up on Sunday, the New York Marathon. We're going to
• 1:33:09
  Speaker 2: talk about the Marathon and New York football giants with
• 1:33:13
  Speaker 2: the all-time great, my dear friend, number 21, Tiki Barber
• 1:33:18
  Speaker 2: on Sid and Friends in the Morning.
• 1:33:20
  Speaker 1: Sid and Friends.
• 1:33:22
  Speaker 3: In the Morning on the Red Apple Podcast Network.
• 1:33:26
  Speaker 2: This week in my house, it's Daniel Rosenberg week because...
• 1:33:30
  Speaker 2: For the seventh time and the 41st time overall, she's
• 1:33:35
  Speaker 2: going to run a marathon. Seven New York City marathons,
• 1:33:38
  Speaker 2: 41 overall. My beautiful wife has even earned the Abbott Trophy. Yes,
• 1:33:43
  Speaker 2: they've got majors in marathon running like golf and tennis.
• 1:33:47
  Speaker 2: Three domestic, New York, Boston, Chicago. Three international, London, Berlin,
• 1:33:54
  Speaker 2: and Tokyo.
• 1:33:55
  Speaker 1: She's done them all.
• 1:33:56
  Speaker 2: She's done Paris and Miami and Big Sur. But New
• 1:33:59
  Speaker 2: York is Sunday. And even though Danielle Rosenberg is very
• 1:34:03
  Speaker 2: famous because she's married to me, the most famous New
• 1:34:06
  Speaker 2: Yorker who runs that race annually is one of the
• 1:34:09
  Speaker 2: greatest New York football giants ever. I've made the argument,
• 1:34:13
  Speaker 2: and I still believe it, over about a five, six-year period,
• 1:34:16
  Speaker 2: the best offensive player in the history of the Giants,
• 1:34:20
  Speaker 2: now sharing middays with Evan Roberts at WFAN, the great
• 1:34:25
  Speaker 2: Tiki Barber. He runs that race, and he's doing it again. Tiki,
• 1:34:29
  Speaker 2: good morning, buddy. How are you?
• 1:34:31
  Speaker 25: What's up, my friend? I'm looking forward to this weekend,
• 1:34:33
  Speaker 25: even though I'm not fully ready for it, as I'm
• 1:34:36
  Speaker 25: sure you know, watching Danielle train so many years, doing 41.
• 1:34:40
  Speaker 25: That's unbelievable. This will be my 16th. You got to
• 1:34:43
  Speaker 25: get it on a super long run. And I barely
• 1:34:46
  Speaker 25: got in the long run.
• 1:34:47
  Speaker 2: Oh, she did it. She did a couple of 20s
• 1:34:49
  Speaker 2: and some 22s. She actually smoked me. Yeah, I know.
• 1:34:52
  Speaker 2: We live in Queens. You go into the city and
• 1:34:54
  Speaker 2: run with these runners groups. But now she's doing the
• 1:34:57
  Speaker 2: tapered down week. Now you've done 16. I know you've
• 1:35:00
  Speaker 2: done New York a bunch. I know you've done Israel
• 1:35:02
  Speaker 2: a bunch. What others have you done?
• 1:35:04
  Speaker 25: So this will be my eighth New York City, which
• 1:35:07
  Speaker 25: I'm excited about. At least I have her on that one,
• 1:35:09
  Speaker 25: at least. So I did do Israel. I heard you
• 1:35:12
  Speaker 25: say Big Sur, which is an amazing one out there
• 1:35:14
  Speaker 25: on the West Coast, runs on the Pacific Coast Highway.
• 1:35:17
  Speaker 25: It's beautiful. I did the three Abbott majors in the state.
• 1:35:21
  Speaker 25: So I did, obviously, New York, Chicago, and Boston. I
• 1:35:24
  Speaker 25: was scheduled to do Tokyo and start to do the
• 1:35:26
  Speaker 25: international one, but COVID hit. So I signed up to
• 1:35:29
  Speaker 25: go in 2020, and then they were telling me, yeah,
• 1:35:32
  Speaker 25: you probably can get over to Tokyo, but you're probably
• 1:35:34
  Speaker 25: not going to be able to come home. So I
• 1:35:36
  Speaker 25: postponed it, and I haven't gotten back around to do it.
• 1:35:39
  Speaker 25: I did Paris, which was gorgeous. I mean, it was
• 1:35:42
  Speaker 25: just beautiful running through that city and seeing all the
• 1:35:46
  Speaker 25: sights and the sounds. And that was a good one.
• 1:35:49
  Speaker 25: I did New Jersey because obviously I live in New Jersey.
• 1:35:52
  Speaker 25: And there was one other one I've done. I can't
• 1:35:54
  Speaker 25: remember now.
• 1:35:54
  Speaker 2: Pretty good. Pretty good, though. That's a pretty good list.
• 1:35:58
  Speaker 25: Israel was fun. I know you've been over to Israel
• 1:36:00
  Speaker 25: a lot and I'm sure you've walked a lot over there.
• 1:36:02
  Speaker 25: It is punitive, man.
• 1:36:03
  Speaker 3: It is.
• 1:36:04
  Speaker 25: It is hikes.
• 1:36:05
  Speaker 6: It is.
• 1:36:06
  Speaker 25: I mean, I think 1100 feet up ultimately as you
• 1:36:10
  Speaker 25: go through it. But I tell you, one of the
• 1:36:11
  Speaker 25: best sites I had ever running a marathon was at
• 1:36:15
  Speaker 25: mile 10 in the Jerusalem Marathon. You're standing on top
• 1:36:20
  Speaker 25: of the mountain, basically, and you're looking down at the
• 1:36:22
  Speaker 25: wailing wall and the dome of the rock. It's just
• 1:36:24
  Speaker 25: this unbelievable view. So, I mean, I love marathoning for
• 1:36:28
  Speaker 25: the experience, but it's also for the people. And so
• 1:36:31
  Speaker 25: I'm sure you'll say this coming up in the weekend.
• 1:36:33
  Speaker 25: I know Daniel appreciates this. congratulations to all those people
• 1:36:37
  Speaker 25: that are running 60 plus thousand, I think this year, uh,
• 1:36:40
  Speaker 25: and the 50th anniversary of the new course of the
• 1:36:43
  Speaker 25: New York city marathon. It's going to be an amazing Sunday.
• 1:36:46
  Speaker 25: And I think we're actually going to get pretty good weather. Um,
• 1:36:48
  Speaker 25: so it's going to be awesome.
• 1:36:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's important. And you're right. The new course, because
• 1:36:52
  Speaker 2: for people that don't know this 51 years ago, they
• 1:36:54
  Speaker 2: ran the marathon solely in central park. And 50 years ago,
• 1:36:58
  Speaker 2: we started doing five burrows and from the satin Island side,
• 1:37:02
  Speaker 2: all the way to, uh, New York City, the Manhattan
• 1:37:05
  Speaker 2: side at the very, very end. And listen, Central Park
• 1:37:09
  Speaker 2: is rough. That's very, very hilly. This is not an
• 1:37:12
  Speaker 2: easy race to five boroughs, but it's got to be
• 1:37:14
  Speaker 2: easier than doing the whole race in the park, right?
• 1:37:17
  Speaker 25: I don't know, Sid. I mean, Central Park has all
• 1:37:19
  Speaker 25: those hills. We feel like Central Park is flat because
• 1:37:22
  Speaker 25: we look at it from pictures and it's like, ah,
• 1:37:23
  Speaker 25: it's just a flat little park. It's like, no, it's
• 1:37:25
  Speaker 25: got hills and major climbs. The challenge with the boroughs
• 1:37:29
  Speaker 25: is that you've got to go over so many bridges.
• 1:37:32
  Speaker 25: And every bridge is a mile hike. So it's a
• 1:37:35
  Speaker 25: mile up. And when you're driving it, it feels like
• 1:37:37
  Speaker 25: it's not as steep as it is. But when you're
• 1:37:39
  Speaker 25: running it, it's a mile up and then a mile down,
• 1:37:42
  Speaker 25: which is also hard because you're trying to slow yourself
• 1:37:44
  Speaker 25: down until you're killing your quads and all these other
• 1:37:47
  Speaker 25: crazy things. But it is cool to go through all
• 1:37:49
  Speaker 25: the boroughs because they're so different. Staten Island gets shorted, obviously,
• 1:37:53
  Speaker 25: because we only start in Staten Island on the on
• 1:37:55
  Speaker 25: the Staten Island side of the Verrazano bridge and then
• 1:37:58
  Speaker 25: go over into Brooklyn where it gets raucous, like this
• 1:38:00
  Speaker 25: band's playing and people standing outside of churches singing and stuff.
• 1:38:04
  Speaker 25: I mean, it's actually really cool in Brooklyn and then
• 1:38:07
  Speaker 25: the queen, and then you get the Queens and then
• 1:38:09
  Speaker 25: you got to go over the bridge and then you're
• 1:38:10
  Speaker 25: into Manhattan and into the Bronx and then ultimately back
• 1:38:13
  Speaker 25: into Manhattan. So, I mean, it's challenging. It's, it's one
• 1:38:16
  Speaker 25: of the funnest ones though, because there's people everywhere, right?
• 1:38:20
  Speaker 25: Like I remember doing some of these other marathons, like
• 1:38:23
  Speaker 25: for instance, I did Boston and Boston is, basically 24
• 1:38:26
  Speaker 25: miles straight out. And then you run like a mile
• 1:38:29
  Speaker 25: and a half and of two miles inside of Boston proper.
• 1:38:32
  Speaker 25: But on that 24 miles running into Boston is like
• 1:38:35
  Speaker 25: nothing there. It's just like it's empty road until you
• 1:38:38
  Speaker 25: get to Boston. The college where the girls are screaming
• 1:38:41
  Speaker 25: at you on the side of the road.
• 1:38:43
  Speaker 14: It's up the hill.
• 1:38:44
  Speaker 25: You're like, you're almost there.
• 1:38:46
  Speaker 2: I stood there on Boylston Street when Danielle finished that
• 1:38:50
  Speaker 2: marathon for me. And I've gone to all them with her,
• 1:38:52
  Speaker 2: including Paris. Would have been a much different Paris marathon
• 1:38:56
  Speaker 2: last weekend with all the protests going on. But no,
• 1:38:58
  Speaker 2: it's crazy. But I did that one with her. I
• 1:39:01
  Speaker 2: did all these others. It's a good excuse for us
• 1:39:03
  Speaker 2: to travel. which we do do. We go to all
• 1:39:05
  Speaker 2: these great places. But for me, the one other than
• 1:39:08
  Speaker 2: New York, and I'll be at mile 22 on Sunday
• 1:39:10
  Speaker 2: to watch her and to root her on to finish
• 1:39:12
  Speaker 2: the race. The one that was most fun for me, London,
• 1:39:16
  Speaker 2: those people, they go, they're drinking early Tiki. They're drinking early.
• 1:39:21
  Speaker 25: I'm doing it. I'm doing it next year. I think
• 1:39:22
  Speaker 25: I'm going to, cause I've people have been telling me
• 1:39:24
  Speaker 25: how great it is and I know it's gotten enormous.
• 1:39:26
  Speaker 25: And so I think last year they had to do
• 1:39:28
  Speaker 25: it on two days because there were so many people,
• 1:39:30
  Speaker 25: but I've heard that like Londoners know how to bring
• 1:39:33
  Speaker 25: out the pint, right?
• 1:39:34
  Speaker 2: Give me the pint.
• 1:39:36
  Speaker 8: You know what?
• 1:39:36
  Speaker 25: It's funny one, one year because I always start struggling
• 1:39:39
  Speaker 25: at like mile 17 or 18. I start slowing down.
• 1:39:42
  Speaker 25: I start getting crampy. So I told Tracy, my wife,
• 1:39:45
  Speaker 25: I was like, be at mile like 17 or between
• 1:39:49
  Speaker 25: 17 and 18 and have like a beer ready for
• 1:39:51
  Speaker 25: me so I can like relax. So I ran over
• 1:39:54
  Speaker 25: to the left side of the first avenue. I was
• 1:39:56
  Speaker 25: like cracking beers, drinking beers.
• 1:39:59
  Speaker 2: That's great. It didn't help you. It didn't help you.
• 1:40:02
  Speaker 2: So what's more difficult for Tiki Barber? And again, you know,
• 1:40:05
  Speaker 2: I don't say this to patronize you because I've said
• 1:40:07
  Speaker 2: it to you for a long time. You were, you know,
• 1:40:10
  Speaker 2: there's the two most diverse running backs I've ever seen.
• 1:40:13
  Speaker 2: And I'm old. I'll be 60 in April. I remember
• 1:40:15
  Speaker 2: OJ Simpson and Tony Dorsett. The two most diverse backs
• 1:40:19
  Speaker 2: I've ever seen are Marshall Falk and you. Bottom line,
• 1:40:23
  Speaker 2: for a five-year period, if you would have stuck around
• 1:40:25
  Speaker 2: two more years, you'd be in the Hall of Fame.
• 1:40:27
  Speaker 2: You were that unstoppable. You were great. Yeah. I didn't
• 1:40:30
  Speaker 2: want to get beat up anymore. I know, I know.
• 1:40:32
  Speaker 2: I'm glad you made that move. You've had a great
• 1:40:33
  Speaker 2: video career since. But tougher for you, fourth quarter against
• 1:40:37
  Speaker 2: the Philadelphia Eagles on a cold December day or mile 21?
• 1:40:41
  Speaker 14: That's a tough one.
• 1:40:43
  Speaker 25: I'm going to say the cold Philadelphia afternoon, especially in
• 1:40:47
  Speaker 25: that old crappy vet where they used to play, where
• 1:40:50
  Speaker 25: they were screaming at you, the wind was howling and
• 1:40:53
  Speaker 25: throwing people, throwing stuff from the stands. The marathon at 20,
• 1:40:57
  Speaker 25: like the good thing about the marathon is that there
• 1:41:00
  Speaker 25: are so Thousands of people around you supporting you. You
• 1:41:03
  Speaker 25: know what I mean? Obviously, the crowd on the side,
• 1:41:06
  Speaker 25: but even the runners themselves, they'll pick you up and
• 1:41:09
  Speaker 25: encourage you and drive you through. The relationships that you
• 1:41:14
  Speaker 25: make on course that are going to last for, I
• 1:41:16
  Speaker 25: don't know, 20 minutes, 30 minutes, maybe an hour if
• 1:41:19
  Speaker 25: you run long enough with somebody, are the things that
• 1:41:21
  Speaker 25: push you through. It's what makes New York great. I
• 1:41:24
  Speaker 25: know we are a city that's often divided at times
• 1:41:26
  Speaker 25: and we have different ideas about different things, whether it's
• 1:41:29
  Speaker 25: politics or sports or whatever it may be. But on
• 1:41:32
  Speaker 25: that day, on Marathon Sunday, which is coming up this weekend,
• 1:41:35
  Speaker 25: it feels like everybody is just all together. And, you know,
• 1:41:39
  Speaker 25: it gets you through it when it gets hard.
• 1:41:40
  Speaker 2: Oh, God, I'm so glad you said that because, look,
• 1:41:43
  Speaker 2: when it comes to a divided city, I'm guilty. I
• 1:41:47
  Speaker 2: am so guilty. I hate the mayor. I hate the governor.
• 1:41:50
  Speaker 25: I hear you, Sid.
• 1:41:53
  Speaker 2: I hate them all. So I am guilty of doing
• 1:41:55
  Speaker 2: that every day. But I also say this. So does
• 1:41:58
  Speaker 2: Steve Scharippa. So does Tiki Barber. Marathon Sunday. I don't
• 1:42:02
  Speaker 2: know if you're a Democrat. I don't know if you're
• 1:42:04
  Speaker 2: a Republican. I don't care. I cry when I watch
• 1:42:08
  Speaker 2: people finish that race tomorrow. For my money, it is
• 1:42:11
  Speaker 2: the best single day event all year long in New
• 1:42:14
  Speaker 2: York City.
• 1:42:15
  Speaker 14: I agree with you.
• 1:42:16
  Speaker 25: And the reason is because what you said is exactly right.
• 1:42:19
  Speaker 25: The accomplishment, it's hard to do, right? Most people, forget
• 1:42:24
  Speaker 25: the marathoning people, but most people just can't do it.
• 1:42:28
  Speaker 25: And most people don't even want to think about doing it.
• 1:42:31
  Speaker 25: But then something clicks in somebody. And they're like, you
• 1:42:33
  Speaker 25: know what? I want to challenge myself. I'm going to
• 1:42:35
  Speaker 25: try to run a marathon. And they train for it.
• 1:42:37
  Speaker 25: And then they get all the support that we've been
• 1:42:39
  Speaker 25: alluding to and talking about. And then you get in
• 1:42:41
  Speaker 25: the race and you hate it. You love it at times.
• 1:42:44
  Speaker 25: And then you finish and you just get, you get
• 1:42:47
  Speaker 25: this metal and it's just like, Oh my God, I
• 1:42:49
  Speaker 25: did something I never thought I was going to do.
• 1:42:52
  Speaker 25: And it's, it's a metaphor for life, but there's something
• 1:42:55
  Speaker 25: that grows in you when you do a marathon. I
• 1:42:57
  Speaker 25: know Danielle has experienced this a ton of times. Um, and, and,
• 1:43:01
  Speaker 25: and all the 60 plus thousand that do it this time,
• 1:43:03
  Speaker 25: whether it's your 40th or 41st, like your wives or
• 1:43:08
  Speaker 25: your first, like I'm sure a lot of people will
• 1:43:10
  Speaker 25: be out there. It's, There's something that wells inside of
• 1:43:13
  Speaker 25: you that just becomes forever.
• 1:43:15
  Speaker 2: Oh, it's true. You know, Brett Favre was walking away
• 1:43:17
  Speaker 2: from the game a thousand times and Bill Parcells is
• 1:43:20
  Speaker 2: never coach again. That's my wife. I'm done. I'm finished.
• 1:43:23
  Speaker 2: What are you doing, D? I'm getting ready for next week.
• 1:43:27
  Speaker 2: But I really believe this time around, my wife may
• 1:43:30
  Speaker 2: be serious. Again, 41 in, she is really contemplating retiring,
• 1:43:36
  Speaker 2: doing just half marathons and getting doing some occasional recreational runs.
• 1:43:41
  Speaker 2: Have you considered retiring after the great NFL career from
• 1:43:45
  Speaker 2: your marathon career? Yeah.
• 1:43:46
  Speaker 25: You know, I, I did say, because, you know, I
• 1:43:48
  Speaker 25: was doing CBS games for a long time and you
• 1:43:51
  Speaker 25: just took away my weekends to train and it would
• 1:43:54
  Speaker 25: have to time out perfectly in order for me to
• 1:43:57
  Speaker 25: do New York city. I could do the ones in
• 1:43:58
  Speaker 25: the off seasons. But so I thought about it, like
• 1:44:01
  Speaker 25: maybe I'm done because Daniel's right. Like the, The half marathons,
• 1:44:05
  Speaker 25: they're not easy because they're hard, too. I mean, it's
• 1:44:08
  Speaker 25: still two hours on your feet or an hour and 30,
• 1:44:11
  Speaker 25: 40 minutes on your feet. But your body doesn't feel
• 1:44:14
  Speaker 25: beat up and broken down when you're done with a
• 1:44:17
  Speaker 25: half marathon. So I thought about the same thing. Maybe
• 1:44:20
  Speaker 25: I'll just do half marathons from here on out. But
• 1:44:22
  Speaker 25: I keep coming back to what you talked about in
• 1:44:24
  Speaker 25: the intro when you were talking about your wife. She
• 1:44:27
  Speaker 25: has the world Abbott majors. She has all six of those.
• 1:44:30
  Speaker 25: And now there's actually a seventh. You got to go
• 1:44:32
  Speaker 25: to Australia and do the seventh one. And that's in
• 1:44:36
  Speaker 25: the summer because it's winter over there. And so it's
• 1:44:39
  Speaker 25: actually nice to run. It's not sweltering. But I still
• 1:44:43
  Speaker 25: have this goal, Sid. I still have this goal that
• 1:44:45
  Speaker 25: I want to do all the world majors. And so
• 1:44:48
  Speaker 25: I got to get to Tokyo. I got to get
• 1:44:50
  Speaker 25: to Berlin, London. I think I'm going to do next year.
• 1:44:53
  Speaker 25: And then ultimately Australia at some point. I still have,
• 1:44:56
  Speaker 25: I think, I'm going to say five or six years
• 1:44:59
  Speaker 25: where my body will still hold up because that's the
• 1:45:01
  Speaker 25: big thing. I mean, I played football for a decade.
• 1:45:03
  Speaker 25: I got bad knees and my muscular structure is not
• 1:45:08
  Speaker 25: built to run for four hours. So it's wearing on me,
• 1:45:13
  Speaker 25: but I still have that goal that I'm not willing
• 1:45:14
  Speaker 25: to give up yet.
• 1:45:15
  Speaker 2: Good. Don't do it. And by the way, you're still
• 1:45:17
  Speaker 2: in phenomenal shape. I mean, you're the greatest shortstop I've
• 1:45:20
  Speaker 2: ever seen. The greatest running back I've ever seen. This
• 1:45:24
  Speaker 2: is the amazing Tiki Barber, who also does a great
• 1:45:26
  Speaker 2: radio show. I listen every day on the way back
• 1:45:28
  Speaker 2: from the ferry with Evan Roberts on WFAN. And number
• 1:45:32
  Speaker 2: 21 provided all his giant bands with... So many thrills
• 1:45:35
  Speaker 2: over the years. And, you know, it looks like the
• 1:45:37
  Speaker 2: Giants are back right now. We still have 10 games
• 1:45:41
  Speaker 2: to go, right? We have 10 games to go. It
• 1:45:43
  Speaker 2: is exciting. 10 games to go. But, but, and this
• 1:45:46
  Speaker 2: is a large assumption, but I'm going to do it anyway.
• 1:45:49
  Speaker 2: If J.J. McCarthy, who was a very good quarterback at Michigan,
• 1:45:53
  Speaker 2: the kid was great. He got buried. Yes, he got
• 1:45:56
  Speaker 2: buried behind, of all people, Kyler Murray. He's terrible. I
• 1:46:00
  Speaker 2: know the Vikings are undefeated. He's terrible. Carson Wentz. So
• 1:46:04
  Speaker 2: he gets buried in Minnesota. If this kid plays this
• 1:46:07
  Speaker 2: way the rest of the year, we're going to have
• 1:46:09
  Speaker 2: an off-season quarterback controversy between Dodd and McCarthy.
• 1:46:13
  Speaker 25: It'll be the best thing that's happened to the Giants
• 1:46:15
  Speaker 25: in a long time, right? Competition is what makes people better.
• 1:46:19
  Speaker 25: Being challenged is what makes— players and teams better. And
• 1:46:23
  Speaker 25: so I hope that that's the problem that we have
• 1:46:25
  Speaker 25: to worry about in 2027, but you're right about JJ McCarthy.
• 1:46:28
  Speaker 25: I don't know. Cause we were not there. We're not
• 1:46:31
  Speaker 25: talking about it. Like we do on WFAN every day
• 1:46:34
  Speaker 25: in Minnesota, what the issue was, it feels like from afar,
• 1:46:37
  Speaker 25: it was a personality thing between him and his head
• 1:46:40
  Speaker 25: coach and, It ultimately got the general manager, Questia Adolfo-Menta,
• 1:46:45
  Speaker 25: fired because that never worked out. He gets hurt his
• 1:46:47
  Speaker 25: first year. Sam Donald has the year we know he
• 1:46:49
  Speaker 25: had that season. And then he plays 10 games last year,
• 1:46:53
  Speaker 25: and he was 6-4. He wasn't horrible. He looked like
• 1:46:56
  Speaker 25: a rookie. And then for whatever reason, he couldn't even
• 1:46:59
  Speaker 25: win the backup job this season, so it became expendable.
• 1:47:02
  Speaker 25: I think it was deeper than the on-field performance because
• 1:47:05
  Speaker 25: what we've seen in New York is that he's buying in.
• 1:47:08
  Speaker 25: He sounds like a great teammate. And he didn't make
• 1:47:12
  Speaker 25: any mistakes and threw some passes that were just perfect,
• 1:47:15
  Speaker 25: like the layered throws. He had one of the elite
• 1:47:18
  Speaker 25: neighbors on a corner route. It was one of the
• 1:47:20
  Speaker 25: prettiest throws you've seen all season long. And he's helped
• 1:47:23
  Speaker 25: the run game because of his presence as a runner,
• 1:47:26
  Speaker 25: even though he's not running as much as Jackson Dart,
• 1:47:28
  Speaker 25: when Jackson Dart was our quarterback. But his presence as
• 1:47:31
  Speaker 25: a potential runner helped us run for 180 yards last
• 1:47:35
  Speaker 25: week and four rushing touchdowns. So you feel good right
• 1:47:39
  Speaker 25: now if you're a Giant fan. One, because you have
• 1:47:42
  Speaker 25: a quarterback who's playing competent football. And two, seven weeks
• 1:47:47
  Speaker 25: into the year, and even after eight weeks, if they
• 1:47:48
  Speaker 25: have a bye week, they're going to be on top
• 1:47:50
  Speaker 25: of the division. which is something we haven't been able
• 1:47:52
  Speaker 25: to say for over a decade. So it's all coaching,
• 1:47:57
  Speaker 25: I think, but it's also players being challenged and buying
• 1:48:01
  Speaker 25: in to a new system and a new way of being.
• 1:48:04
  Speaker 25: And you see it every Sunday. And they don't quit.
• 1:48:06
  Speaker 25: It's awesome. It's awesome to watch them.
• 1:48:08
  Speaker 2: It is pretty amazing. Seven games in, they've had three
• 1:48:10
  Speaker 2: different starting quarterbacks. You never hear that. Never. And they're
• 1:48:13
  Speaker 2: still 4-2-1. Now you have to include in all what
• 1:48:16
  Speaker 2: you just said, which was 100% right, included in that
• 1:48:19
  Speaker 2: the Giants are fortunate because between Dallas, Philly, and Washington,
• 1:48:24
  Speaker 2: it may be the worst division in football.
• 1:48:26
  Speaker 25: Oh, it definitely is. It feels like the perpetual NFC South.
• 1:48:30
  Speaker 14: Right.
• 1:48:31
  Speaker 25: It's always like a 500 or below 500 team that's
• 1:48:35
  Speaker 25: making the postseason.
• 1:48:35
  Speaker 2: But you know what?
• 1:48:38
  Speaker 25: It's football. And once you get to the postseason, especially
• 1:48:41
  Speaker 25: if you keep getting better as the year goes on,
• 1:48:43
  Speaker 25: anything can happen. And we haven't seen a wildcard team
• 1:48:46
  Speaker 25: go and take that run and win a championship for
• 1:48:49
  Speaker 25: a while. But, I mean, who knows? The NFL feels flawed, right?
• 1:48:52
  Speaker 25: Even the best teams. You just said it with the
• 1:48:54
  Speaker 25: Minnesota Vikings, who are undefeated. They don't look unbeatable. The
• 1:48:58
  Speaker 25: San Francisco 49ers last week, they were undefeated. They lost.
• 1:49:02
  Speaker 25: I don't think anybody is really undefeated.
• 1:49:05
  Speaker 2: Right, they got blown out by Seattle. Blown out.
• 1:49:08
  Speaker 25: It was a sneaker. Pat Mahomes looked average for the
• 1:49:10
  Speaker 25: first time in the history of his career.
• 1:49:12
  Speaker 14: So.
• 1:49:13
  Speaker 25: Anything can happen. That's why you love the NFL. It's
• 1:49:16
  Speaker 25: a shorter season game-wise relative to hockey or baseball and
• 1:49:22
  Speaker 25: basketball and things like that. But it also presents these
• 1:49:25
  Speaker 25: great opportunities for teams that come from nowhere to do
• 1:49:28
  Speaker 25: something special. And I think we're on the right track,
• 1:49:31
  Speaker 25: and it feels good, and it feels like you want
• 1:49:34
  Speaker 25: to go watch. That's the biggest thing. There were years
• 1:49:36
  Speaker 25: over the last decade, Sid, where it was just like,
• 1:49:38
  Speaker 25: I don't even want to watch this team. I know
• 1:49:41
  Speaker 25: what the product's going to look like. Now you tune
• 1:49:44
  Speaker 25: in on Sundays expecting something special to happen.
• 1:49:47
  Speaker 2: I totally agree. So to wrap this up in a
• 1:49:49
  Speaker 2: nice little bow, Tiki, today is Wednesday. So now we're
• 1:49:53
  Speaker 2: four days away from race day. But Danielle, she'll eat
• 1:49:56
  Speaker 2: a big meal on Friday night. I see goo all
• 1:49:58
  Speaker 2: over my house. There's goo everywhere, Tiki.
• 1:50:00
  Speaker 25: Goo.
• 1:50:01
  Speaker 2: What does Tiki Barber do the next four days right
• 1:50:04
  Speaker 2: before the race?
• 1:50:05
  Speaker 25: Well, I'm going to jog a little bit, not doing
• 1:50:07
  Speaker 25: anything crazy to get my body ready. The beauty of,
• 1:50:10
  Speaker 25: even though I haven't had that super long run like
• 1:50:12
  Speaker 25: Danielle had, I feel healthy. Like a lot of these races,
• 1:50:15
  Speaker 25: you train so much that you've come into the race
• 1:50:18
  Speaker 25: week feeling beat up. I feel very healthy. I'm going
• 1:50:21
  Speaker 25: to have a big, I think I'm going to do
• 1:50:23
  Speaker 25: steak and pasta. A steak pasta dinner on Friday just
• 1:50:27
  Speaker 25: to carbo-load myself, get some extra protein. Got to find
• 1:50:31
  Speaker 25: my goo packs and stick them in my pouch because
• 1:50:34
  Speaker 25: those things save your life when you're like 50 miles in.
• 1:50:38
  Speaker 25: And really stretch a lot and just be thankful that
• 1:50:42
  Speaker 25: at 51 years old– you said you're going to be 60.
• 1:50:44
  Speaker 14: I'm 51 years old.
• 1:50:46
  Speaker 25: That I can still compete at a good level. I
• 1:50:49
  Speaker 25: feel good. I look good. And I'm going to be
• 1:50:52
  Speaker 25: with 60,000 other people running the New York City Marathon.
• 1:50:56
  Speaker 25: So I appreciate New York Roadrunners because they're amazing with
• 1:50:59
  Speaker 25: all the events they do year round, but particularly this marathon.
• 1:51:03
  Speaker 25: Another thing, and it's worth mentioning, so many of us
• 1:51:06
  Speaker 25: are not even, we're not winning, you know what I mean?
• 1:51:08
  Speaker 25: But so many of us are raising tons of money
• 1:51:11
  Speaker 25: for a lot of very good and worthy charities, whether
• 1:51:15
  Speaker 25: it's Fred's team, whether it's who I'm running for, Team
• 1:51:18
  Speaker 25: for Kids, whether it's Culture City, an autism awareness organization
• 1:51:23
  Speaker 25: that I previously run for. CC has one, Pitchin Foundation,
• 1:51:27
  Speaker 25: that he has people running for. I want to thank
• 1:51:30
  Speaker 25: all the runners, not just for running and being a
• 1:51:32
  Speaker 25: part of this massive event, but also raising hundreds of
• 1:51:36
  Speaker 25: thousands of dollars for great causes.
• 1:51:39
  Speaker 2: That's a great point. Team for kids is a great one.
• 1:51:41
  Speaker 2: Danielle is running with Tom Biggers on the NYPD. She
• 1:51:45
  Speaker 2: runs with the cops every year. And CeCe Sabat, of course,
• 1:51:48
  Speaker 2: is CeCe. Tiki, we love you in New York. Really,
• 1:51:51
  Speaker 2: you're doing a tremendous job at WFAN. You're one of
• 1:51:54
  Speaker 2: the great running backs. You and I have been friends,
• 1:51:56
  Speaker 2: good friends, for a very, very long time. I'm excited
• 1:51:58
  Speaker 2: for you. Yes. Have a great run on Sunday, Tiki Barber.
• 1:52:01
  Speaker 2: And thank you for doing this. You're one of the greats.
• 1:52:03
  Speaker 2: I love you. Thank you, pal.
• 1:52:04
  Speaker 25: Appreciate you, brother. Love you back.
• 1:52:06
  Speaker 2: God bless you. There he is, the great number 21,
• 1:52:09
  Speaker 2: midday host at WFAN and all-time giant great and marathon great,
• 1:52:14
  Speaker 2: my good buddy Tiki Barber. We'll take a break.
• 1:52:17
  Speaker 3: Sid and friends in the morning on the Red Apple
• 1:52:21
  Speaker 3: Podcast Network.
• 1:52:23
  Speaker 2: Joe Hernandez and all those great Republican. But I will say, Saritha,
• 1:52:29
  Speaker 2: this week that you got an endorsement from somebody even
• 1:52:33
  Speaker 2: more famous than me, which was pretty cool. He won
• 1:52:37
  Speaker 2: the World Series with the Yankees in 2009. How cool
• 1:52:40
  Speaker 2: was it to get a big endorsement from Mark Teixeira?
• 1:52:44
  Speaker 22: Hey, it's a great honor. Thank you for having me
• 1:52:46
  Speaker 22: on this morning, Sid. It's obviously a huge honor. I
• 1:52:49
  Speaker 22: welcome the endorsement of every New Yorker and someone like
• 1:52:52
  Speaker 22: Mark who really understands. I have such great respect for
• 1:52:56
  Speaker 22: athletes because there's no shortcuts in athletics. You have to
• 1:53:00
  Speaker 22: put in the work and only results matter. And that's
• 1:53:05
  Speaker 22: really the same standard that People in elected office should
• 1:53:08
  Speaker 22: be held to. You want someone who's going to work
• 1:53:10
  Speaker 22: hard every day, be disciplined, be doing things the right
• 1:53:13
  Speaker 22: way and producing results. That's the kind of attorney general
• 1:53:16
  Speaker 22: that I'll be. That's the kind of attorney general that
• 1:53:18
  Speaker 22: New Yorkers deserve. And I was very honored to have
• 1:53:21
  Speaker 22: Mark recognize that and support me.
• 1:53:22
  Speaker 2: It was cool. So I don't know if you know this.
• 1:53:24
  Speaker 2: Of course you do. I'm sure you do, but I'll
• 1:53:26
  Speaker 2: tell you anyway. You realize that after you demolished, and
• 1:53:29
  Speaker 2: you did demolish her, you'll be humble, I guess, but
• 1:53:31
  Speaker 2: you killed her. Letitia James and your one and only
• 1:53:34
  Speaker 2: debate opportunity was, that you scared the living daylights out
• 1:53:38
  Speaker 2: of her. Did you see the email that she sent
• 1:53:42
  Speaker 2: out the day after where she admitted that your debate
• 1:53:45
  Speaker 2: performance made this a totally different race, begging her people
• 1:53:50
  Speaker 2: for money? Did you see that?
• 1:53:52
  Speaker 22: I didn't see that email, no.
• 1:53:54
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah? She sent out an email the next day.
• 1:53:56
  Speaker 2: Based on the debate performance last night, my Republican challenger
• 1:54:00
  Speaker 2: is actually doing much better than we thought she would.
• 1:54:02
  Speaker 2: So please, whatever you're going to send me, send me more. Well,
• 1:54:07
  Speaker 2: how about that?
• 1:54:09
  Speaker 22: Well, I'll tell you what, Sid. It wasn't a performance.
• 1:54:12
  Speaker 22: It's just called being a prosecutor. That's what people should
• 1:54:15
  Speaker 22: expect from their New York attorney general, someone who can
• 1:54:18
  Speaker 22: stand at a podium, make an argument, present a case,
• 1:54:22
  Speaker 22: and persuade others. And that's what that debate did. New
• 1:54:25
  Speaker 22: Yorkers got to see for themselves who their two candidates are.
• 1:54:27
  Speaker 22: Tish James was unable to defend her record, unable to
• 1:54:31
  Speaker 22: identify the issues that actually affect New Yorkers' safety and
• 1:54:34
  Speaker 22: affordability of the state, and unable to present any fresh
• 1:54:37
  Speaker 22: ideas for moving forward. And it's really, you know, they
• 1:54:41
  Speaker 22: got to see someone like me who actually has a
• 1:54:43
  Speaker 22: positive vision for the future. We are seeing that most
• 1:54:47
  Speaker 22: overwhelming majority of people who watch that debate end up
• 1:54:50
  Speaker 22: deciding to vote for me. And so I really encourage
• 1:54:52
  Speaker 22: people to watch the debate, make the decision after you
• 1:54:55
  Speaker 22: see it.
• 1:54:55
  Speaker 2: There's no way you can watch that debate and vote
• 1:54:58
  Speaker 2: for Letitia James. I mean, obviously I'm biased. I think
• 1:55:00
  Speaker 2: you're great, but there's no, there's just no way, you know, you, um, you,
• 1:55:04
  Speaker 2: we ended up at that rally for Bruce Blakeman law
• 1:55:07
  Speaker 2: and order. President Trump was there and you, Sat with
• 1:55:10
  Speaker 2: that lovely couple and eventually came on this show with them.
• 1:55:13
  Speaker 2: Their beautiful 12-year-old son was murdered. I'm trying to find
• 1:55:16
  Speaker 2: a furniture store to get McDowell some furniture for a
• 1:55:18
  Speaker 2: new apartment. But these are the types of people that
• 1:55:22
  Speaker 2: have gone through life-changing hell in New York. And I
• 1:55:27
  Speaker 2: never hear, never, ever, ever hear Letitia James talk about
• 1:55:32
  Speaker 2: any of these people. Whether it's the Gorman family up
• 1:55:36
  Speaker 2: in Mike Lawler's neighborhood. or these lovely people. I think
• 1:55:39
  Speaker 2: they were in the Bronx. I never hear your competitor
• 1:55:43
  Speaker 2: talk about these people who have been through the horrors
• 1:55:46
  Speaker 2: here in New York, ever.
• 1:55:49
  Speaker 22: Well, they can't acknowledge that crime is up and homelessness
• 1:55:54
  Speaker 22: is up and fraud is up because it's their fault.
• 1:55:57
  Speaker 22: They've totally taken their eye off of the responsibilities of
• 1:56:01
  Speaker 22: the Attorney General's office to keep New Yorkers safe and
• 1:56:04
  Speaker 22: instead been obsessed with with national political fame. And that's
• 1:56:08
  Speaker 22: what happens. We have self-serving politicians. They don't serve New Yorkers.
• 1:56:12
  Speaker 22: And now they're not just asking for a third term
• 1:56:15
  Speaker 22: in office. No, thank you. New Yorkers deserve better. We
• 1:56:18
  Speaker 22: want someone who's actually going to help New York. That's
• 1:56:22
  Speaker 22: why I decided to stand up and run because I
• 1:56:25
  Speaker 22: looked around and I saw this is ridiculous. I'm tired
• 1:56:28
  Speaker 22: of the crime. I'm tired of the politics. We deserve better.
• 1:56:31
  Speaker 22: And You know what? It was incumbent on me. I
• 1:56:33
  Speaker 22: felt like it was important someone from the law enforcement
• 1:56:36
  Speaker 22: community step up and really make the case for why
• 1:56:39
  Speaker 22: it's important to have a common sense way forward. The
• 1:56:42
  Speaker 22: victims need a voice. They don't feel heard. You know, Sid,
• 1:56:45
  Speaker 22: I travel across the state so many times at events.
• 1:56:48
  Speaker 22: Even just two days ago, someone woke up to me.
• 1:56:52
  Speaker 22: I was at a rally just a couple days ago.
• 1:56:55
  Speaker 22: And someone came up to me in tears and said,
• 1:56:57
  Speaker 22: thank you so much for mentioning fentanyl.
• 1:57:00
  Speaker 25: In your speech.
• 1:57:01
  Speaker 22: I lost my son to fentanyl, and no one talks
• 1:57:03
  Speaker 22: about it anymore, but it's the number one killer of
• 1:57:05
  Speaker 22: New Yorkers between the ages of 18 and 45. I
• 1:57:08
  Speaker 22: was at another rally, and after the rally, three women
• 1:57:11
  Speaker 22: pulled me aside and talked to me about how they're
• 1:57:13
  Speaker 22: in domestic violence situations that they can't get out of,
• 1:57:16
  Speaker 22: and they don't know what to do, and the system
• 1:57:18
  Speaker 22: is rigged, and they don't know who to call. And
• 1:57:21
  Speaker 22: You know, I've talked to people who have been victims
• 1:57:23
  Speaker 22: of fraud who tell me they call the attorney general's
• 1:57:24
  Speaker 22: office for help and no one gets back to them.
• 1:57:27
  Speaker 2: Unbelievable.
• 1:57:28
  Speaker 22: The state of New York, the attorney general is ignoring
• 1:57:31
  Speaker 22: crime victims. She's more concerned about her own celebrity. And
• 1:57:35
  Speaker 22: I think New Yorkers are tired of it. I'm tired
• 1:57:37
  Speaker 22: of it, and we need a change at AG to
• 1:57:40
  Speaker 22: make this state safer.
• 1:57:41
  Speaker 2: And I think you say in your commercial that under
• 1:57:43
  Speaker 2: Letitia James, the crime number is up 26%. That's a
• 1:57:50
  Speaker 2: very big number. And correct me if I'm wrong, Sarita,
• 1:57:53
  Speaker 2: you live in the city with your husband, and you've got, what,
• 1:57:57
  Speaker 2: two sets of twins, four children? They can't feel safe.
• 1:58:01
  Speaker 14: Do they?
• 1:58:03
  Speaker 22: We've totally changed the way we go about where we
• 1:58:07
  Speaker 22: take our kids, what time of night we take.
• 1:58:09
  Speaker 25: Them, how we take them.
• 1:58:10
  Speaker 22: Take them places, because we are concerned. Listen, just a
• 1:58:13
  Speaker 22: couple of days ago, not too far from where I live,
• 1:58:17
  Speaker 22: a woman was raped in Central Park. Can you believe that?
• 1:58:20
  Speaker 22: 66th and 5th Avenue. She's walking through the park in
• 1:58:23
  Speaker 22: the evening, not too late, about 8 p.m. in the evening.
• 1:58:26
  Speaker 22: I've walked through the park in the evening around that time.
• 1:58:29
  Speaker 22: I have a daughter. We go for a walk. But
• 1:58:33
  Speaker 22: she's walking around, and a man approaches her with a knife,
• 1:58:36
  Speaker 22: drags her into the woods, and rapes her.
• 1:58:39
  Speaker 2: You know what's crazy about that for a second? Let
• 1:58:40
  Speaker 2: me stop you for one second. I never heard the mayor, never,
• 1:58:45
  Speaker 2: the governor, James, talk about that. You know what I
• 1:58:48
  Speaker 2: hear about?
• 1:58:48
  Speaker 14: Horses.
• 1:58:49
  Speaker 2: How horses are so dangerous in Central Park. Not the rapists.
• 1:58:53
  Speaker 2: Isn't that weird?
• 1:58:58
  Speaker 22: Well... They again, they can't talk about it. They can't
• 1:59:02
  Speaker 22: acknowledge it because they're the reason for this failure. Rape
• 1:59:07
  Speaker 22: is up in New York. Violence against women is up
• 1:59:09
  Speaker 22: in New York under Letitia James. And it's she has
• 1:59:13
  Speaker 22: no answer for what why that is. She's totally failed
• 1:59:16
  Speaker 22: women in New York.
• 1:59:18
  Speaker 2: She really has. And the Jewish people, you know, I
• 1:59:20
  Speaker 2: keep hearing again, I love Jessica Tish, as you know,
• 1:59:22
  Speaker 2: we're very, very good friends, and I'm sure she loves
• 1:59:25
  Speaker 2: you too. And I'm proud of some of the work
• 1:59:27
  Speaker 2: that she's done. She's done a terrific job. But this
• 1:59:29
  Speaker 2: idea that New York is safe, you just talked about it.
• 1:59:32
  Speaker 2: Rapes are up, assaults are up, batteries are up, and
• 1:59:36
  Speaker 2: hate crimes in this city, they're going through the roof. Now,
• 1:59:39
  Speaker 2: I think I did see this. But confirm this for me,
• 1:59:42
  Speaker 2: if you would. Did you say that not if you win,
• 1:59:45
  Speaker 2: when you win day one, you will call a state
• 1:59:49
  Speaker 2: of emergency for anti-Semitism here in New York?
• 1:59:53
  Speaker 22: Yes, I will. The New York attorney general has special
• 1:59:57
  Speaker 22: jurisdiction to prosecute hate crimes in New York when a D.A.
• 2:00:01
  Speaker 22: has proven ineffective. Letitia James has never invoked that authority.
• 2:00:06
  Speaker 22: I will invoke it on day one. It's clear that
• 2:00:09
  Speaker 22: we have ineffective prosecution of hate crimes in New York City.
• 2:00:14
  Speaker 22: hate crimes have skyrocketed under her watch. They've doubled. Anti-Semitic
• 2:00:19
  Speaker 22: incidents have tripled. There's actually a hate crimes unit in
• 2:00:22
  Speaker 22: the Attorney General's office, and A.G. James has not staffed it.
• 2:00:26
  Speaker 22: I will staff it. We will prosecute hate crimes. We
• 2:00:29
  Speaker 22: will work with the DAs to prosecute hate crimes. We
• 2:00:31
  Speaker 22: will make sure that every New Yorker feels safe, regardless
• 2:00:35
  Speaker 22: of their race, religion, or politics.
• 2:00:38
  Speaker 2: Explain to me how your opponent is still, still involved
• 2:00:42
  Speaker 2: because of the brilliant governor, Kathy Hochul, still involved in
• 2:00:46
  Speaker 2: this Cornell alleged rape case when she's already gone on
• 2:00:50
  Speaker 2: Facebook and said the guys are guilty.
• 2:00:53
  Speaker 22: She's prejudged the case. She's totally screwed it up. She's
• 2:00:56
  Speaker 22: never prosecuted a criminal case in her entire career, and
• 2:00:59
  Speaker 22: it's showing. And a few days ago, Sid, they actually
• 2:01:04
  Speaker 22: confirmed that they're now frantically looking for outside counsel to
• 2:01:08
  Speaker 22: handle the case for them because she's not running a
• 2:01:11
  Speaker 22: serious office and they aren't able to handle a case
• 2:01:15
  Speaker 22: like that themselves, even though they have 700 attorneys that
• 2:01:19
  Speaker 22: the New York taxpayers already pay for. So now New
• 2:01:22
  Speaker 22: York taxpayers are going to have to pay millions of
• 2:01:24
  Speaker 22: dollars to private law firms, a private attorney in order
• 2:01:29
  Speaker 22: to handle this criminal case, which is, is, Frankly, embarrassing.
• 2:01:34
  Speaker 22: It's embarrassing that our attorney general's office can't handle one
• 2:01:37
  Speaker 22: case like this. We need to professionalize that office. We
• 2:01:42
  Speaker 22: need to return the AG's office in New York to
• 2:01:44
  Speaker 22: being the best office in the country. We need to
• 2:01:47
  Speaker 22: just fight crime.
• 2:01:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I guess when you talk to her,
• 2:01:51
  Speaker 2: I'll wrap this up here shortly, but when you ask her,
• 2:01:54
  Speaker 2: what have you done exactly? Now, the one thing she
• 2:01:57
  Speaker 2: did do is she kept her promise, right? Now, here's
• 2:02:00
  Speaker 2: the problem. She didn't promise to keep New Yorkers safe.
• 2:02:04
  Speaker 2: She didn't promise to keep women safe when they jog
• 2:02:07
  Speaker 2: in Central Park. She didn't promise any of that. She
• 2:02:10
  Speaker 2: promised to go after our great president of the United States,
• 2:02:15
  Speaker 2: who's not a threat to anybody. So I guess she
• 2:02:17
  Speaker 2: did keep her promise. But outside of that, what can
• 2:02:20
  Speaker 2: she boast exactly?
• 2:02:24
  Speaker 10: Nothing.
• 2:02:25
  Speaker 22: She hasn't accomplished anything for New Yorkers. Just ask yourself,
• 2:02:29
  Speaker 22: are you safer now than you were when she did
• 2:02:32
  Speaker 22: seven years ago? No. Is New York more affordable now
• 2:02:35
  Speaker 22: than it was seven years ago?
• 2:02:37
  Speaker 19: No.
• 2:02:38
  Speaker 22: And the attorney general can actually do something about that.
• 2:02:40
  Speaker 22: When crime is up, it makes it harder to live
• 2:02:43
  Speaker 22: your life. It drives up prices because shoplifting forces store
• 2:02:47
  Speaker 22: owners to increase prices on the shelves. Medicaid fraud drives
• 2:02:50
  Speaker 22: up healthcare costs. Car theft drives up car insurance. And
• 2:02:55
  Speaker 22: people all the time tell me that the homelessness crisis
• 2:02:57
  Speaker 22: is making it difficult for them because the people who
• 2:03:00
  Speaker 22: are severely mentally ill who are living in our subways
• 2:03:02
  Speaker 22: and on our streets make their employees feel unsafe. So
• 2:03:05
  Speaker 22: restaurants have to shut down earlier because their employees don't
• 2:03:08
  Speaker 22: want to commute home too late at night. So when
• 2:03:11
  Speaker 22: you talk about the affordability crisis, the best way the
• 2:03:13
  Speaker 22: attorney general can help is to fight crime and actually
• 2:03:16
  Speaker 22: make New York safer, a place where people want to invest,
• 2:03:19
  Speaker 22: want to live, want to work. And that brings more prosperity.
• 2:03:23
  Speaker 22: There's also an issue with prosecuting fraud. She's totally stopped
• 2:03:27
  Speaker 22: prosecuting Medicaid fraud. Her recoveries are one-tenth of the recoveries
• 2:03:31
  Speaker 22: of her Democratic predecessors. That means New Yorkers are missing
• 2:03:35
  Speaker 22: out on billions of dollars. Criminals are taking billions of
• 2:03:38
  Speaker 22: dollars from our system. Instead of that money being in
• 2:03:41
  Speaker 22: the New York State budget or being in the New
• 2:03:42
  Speaker 22: York State taxpayers' pockets. What does that mean? Well, every
• 2:03:46
  Speaker 22: time there's a budget shortfall, they keep finding some new
• 2:03:48
  Speaker 22: reason to raise taxes. Things like congestion pricing, which is
• 2:03:51
  Speaker 22: just a tax. just an excuse for the state to
• 2:03:54
  Speaker 22: take more money away from us. You know, if you
• 2:03:57
  Speaker 22: had an attorney general who prosecuted fraud properly, you wouldn't
• 2:04:00
  Speaker 22: need to raise taxes. If you had an attorney general
• 2:04:02
  Speaker 22: who actually helped make sure that, you know, who didn't
• 2:04:06
  Speaker 22: have a personal ideological vendetta against certain forms of energy,
• 2:04:11
  Speaker 22: we would actually be able to bring electricity bills down.
• 2:04:14
  Speaker 22: But our attorney general tries to shut down the supply
• 2:04:16
  Speaker 22: of energy because she doesn't agree with how it's made
• 2:04:19
  Speaker 22: instead of saying, you know what? New York doesn't have
• 2:04:21
  Speaker 22: enough energy. Let's use every source available. And because of
• 2:04:24
  Speaker 22: her ideological agenda, she decreases supply. She sent her attorneys
• 2:04:29
  Speaker 22: into federal court for two years to shut down natural gas.
• 2:04:34
  Speaker 22: And as a result, we have less energy and higher
• 2:04:36
  Speaker 22: electric bills. So we are paying left and right as
• 2:04:41
  Speaker 22: New Yorkers for the decisions, the choices that Letitia James
• 2:04:45
  Speaker 22: has made. And it's time to stop paying this crime
• 2:04:48
  Speaker 22: tax It's time to have a prosecutor's attorney general who's
• 2:04:51
  Speaker 22: going to prosecute crime and fraud, who's going to bring
• 2:04:53
  Speaker 22: the homeless inside and make New York safer.
• 2:04:56
  Speaker 2: God, I love you. Where are you going to be
• 2:04:57
  Speaker 2: on Tuesday night to celebrate your victory?
• 2:05:00
  Speaker 22: I'll be with a number of other candidates who are running.
• 2:05:03
  Speaker 22: I think we're all going to be together. We're excited.
• 2:05:05
  Speaker 22: I got to tell you, Sid, you know what? I'm
• 2:05:06
  Speaker 22: less dialed in on Tuesday night. I'm more dialed in
• 2:05:09
  Speaker 22: on every single moment between now and Tuesday night. After
• 2:05:13
  Speaker 22: the polls close is a different story. Right now I'm
• 2:05:16
  Speaker 22: focused on getting every single vote and getting every voter
• 2:05:20
  Speaker 22: to the polls. I know a majority of New Yorkers
• 2:05:23
  Speaker 22: already agree with my vision and our vision for a
• 2:05:26
  Speaker 22: common sense New York. We just need to make sure
• 2:05:29
  Speaker 22: that they vote.
• 2:05:30
  Speaker 2: I believe you. Get out there and vote. And you've
• 2:05:32
  Speaker 2: run a tremendous campaign, win or lose. And I really
• 2:05:35
  Speaker 2: do think you're going to win. I can't say that.
• 2:05:37
  Speaker 2: I thought that a couple of months ago. I wasn't sure.
• 2:05:39
  Speaker 2: But you are so impressive, so much the better candidate.
• 2:05:43
  Speaker 2: I really do think you're going to win. But either way, man,
• 2:05:46
  Speaker 2: I'm proud of you. And New Yorkers should be proud
• 2:05:48
  Speaker 2: of you and should be very proud of yourself. But
• 2:05:50
  Speaker 2: you're going to win on Tuesday night, and then we'll
• 2:05:52
  Speaker 2: celebrate on this show on Wednesday morning. How does that sound, okay?
• 2:05:55
  Speaker 22: We're going to win, Sid.
• 2:05:56
  Speaker 2: Go get him, Saritha.
• 2:05:57
  Speaker 22: Come out and vote. We're going to win.
• 2:05:58
  Speaker 2: Go get him. You're doing a great job. Thank you
• 2:06:00
  Speaker 2: so much, sweetheart. Thank you so much.
• 2:06:02
  Speaker 22: Thank you.
• 2:06:03
  Speaker 2: Take care. Saritha Komathuretti right there. She is a very
• 2:06:06
  Speaker 2: impressive candidate and a wonderful young lady. We'll take a break.
• 2:06:09
  Speaker 2: I hand the ball off to Brian Kilmeade in about
• 2:06:11
  Speaker 2: 40 minutes. What a show. People are still texting me.
• 2:06:14
  Speaker 2: I love the Tiki Barber interview. Now they're texting me. Oh,
• 2:06:18
  Speaker 2: my God, Saritha's great, too. All that on the Wednesday edition.
• 2:06:22
  Speaker 3: Sid and Friends in the Morning on the Red Apple
• 2:06:25
  Speaker 3: Podcast Network.
• 2:06:28
  Speaker 2: Seems like all these races are so close. This morning,
• 2:06:32
  Speaker 2: Tallarico and Paxton were deadlocked at 49%. They're tied. The
• 2:06:38
  Speaker 2: Michigan race also basically tied behind Muhammad, Abdul El-Sayed, and
• 2:06:46
  Speaker 2: Mike Rogers. I had that audio this morning. It was
• 2:06:49
  Speaker 2: one of my favorite pieces, actually. Trump was on fire yesterday,
• 2:06:52
  Speaker 2: one of his best audio days in quite some time,
• 2:06:56
  Speaker 2: calling him Talafrico in Texas. But he also ran roughshod
• 2:07:01
  Speaker 2: on Abdul. It was cut nine, Lewis. Let's do that again.
• 2:07:05
  Speaker 2: This is where President Trump refers to Abdul El-Sayed in
• 2:07:09
  Speaker 2: Michigan as Muhammad.
• 2:07:12
  Speaker 27: Call him Muhammad. He goes by Abdul. Abdul Ramadan.
• 2:07:23
  Speaker 2: I called him Mohammed.
• 2:07:24
  Speaker 23: Then I found out his name was actually his middle
• 2:07:27
  Speaker 23: name is Mohammed. No, he's I would say he's changed.
• 2:07:32
  Speaker 23: I would think.
• 2:07:33
  Speaker 14: Equally as much.
• 2:07:34
  Speaker 2: These are people we.
• 2:07:35
  Speaker 8: Can't have these people and. the United States.
• 2:07:38
  Speaker 23: With him, I don't know if we have to do
• 2:07:41
  Speaker 23: it with Telefrico, but with the guy up in Michigan,
• 2:07:44
  Speaker 23: we're going to have to do the, you know, the test,
• 2:07:46
  Speaker 23: the metal detector test before he's allowed to sit every day.
• 2:07:49
  Speaker 23: He's going to have to go through a metal detector
• 2:07:52
  Speaker 23: in the United States Congress. We have people that should
• 2:07:56
  Speaker 23: not be running for politics in this country.
• 2:08:00
  Speaker 2: And we're never going to allow Sharia law. It is great.
• 2:08:04
  Speaker 2: Greatest thing I've ever heard. You will have to go
• 2:08:06
  Speaker 2: through metal detectors to get into the halls of Congress. Sorry, Mr. President,
• 2:08:11
  Speaker 2: to cut you off there, but it was so brilliant.
• 2:08:13
  Speaker 2: I loved it.
• 2:08:13
  Speaker 15: You know when he's about to say something crazy because
• 2:08:16
  Speaker 15: he kind of pauses.
• 2:08:17
  Speaker 2: And then he goes, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 2:08:19
  Speaker 8: Have you heard about this guy? This guy.
• 2:08:24
  Speaker 2: His name is Mohammed.
• 2:08:26
  Speaker 8: Do you want to vote for a guy named Mohammed?
• 2:08:30
  Speaker 2: And then pauses, and then he goes nuts.
• 2:08:33
  Speaker 8: Then he cackles to himself a little bit.
• 2:08:34
  Speaker 2: I like that. So Mike Rogers is actually rallying right
• 2:08:38
  Speaker 2: now in Michigan. He's the guy, of course, that we
• 2:08:41
  Speaker 2: want to win, not Abdul El-Sayed. Even though that ridiculous asshole,
• 2:08:48
  Speaker 2: the Jewish actor from Homeland, Mandy Patinkin, did that video
• 2:08:52
  Speaker 2: last week that we need Abdul El-Sayed to win. A Jew!
• 2:08:56
  Speaker 2: A Jew! You know what? I'm happy today as a
• 2:09:01
  Speaker 2: strong Jew. And let me tell you something, you jerks
• 2:09:05
  Speaker 2: on Twitter who like to have fun with me, doesn't
• 2:09:07
  Speaker 2: bother me. They go, oh, Sid talks like he's a
• 2:09:10
  Speaker 2: great Jew. He doesn't daven. You're right. He doesn't wrap
• 2:09:13
  Speaker 2: the filling every day. You're right. He doesn't keep kosher.
• 2:09:17
  Speaker 2: You're right. He doesn't observe Shabbat. You're right. He doesn't
• 2:09:21
  Speaker 2: observe about 80% of the Jewish holidays. You're right. Moshe Indig,
• 2:09:26
  Speaker 2: the rabbi, the Satmar rabbi, he does all that. All
• 2:09:29
  Speaker 2: of it. You know what? He is one one millionth
• 2:09:33
  Speaker 2: the Jew that I am. It means nothing. Nothing. I
• 2:09:39
  Speaker 2: am here to protect the tradition, the people. Okay? I
• 2:09:46
  Speaker 2: nearly got physical with a guy on the Ford train.
• 2:09:49
  Speaker 2: That's when Curtis Sliwa deemed me the King David, the
• 2:09:52
  Speaker 2: King of all Jews. Let me see Moshe Indig do that.
• 2:09:56
  Speaker 2: He'd never do it. So great. He davened 10 times today. Fantastic. Good.
• 2:10:02
  Speaker 2: You know, there's all different types of Jews, just like
• 2:10:04
  Speaker 2: there's all different types of Christians and other religions. There
• 2:10:09
  Speaker 2: are different levels of how people observe it. I don't
• 2:10:12
  Speaker 2: care whether you're a reformed Jew, although most reformed Jews
• 2:10:17
  Speaker 2: are Democrats, and like Indig, who's not, they're crappy Jews.
• 2:10:21
  Speaker 2: They're crappy Jews. So I'm tired of crappy Jews crapping
• 2:10:29
  Speaker 2: on Israel, crapping on Bibi Netanyahu. I'm tired of it.
• 2:10:34
  Speaker 2: So it makes my heart warm, and this has nothing
• 2:10:37
  Speaker 2: to do with your brother, no, nothing. It makes my
• 2:10:40
  Speaker 2: heart warm that Bibi outperformed and really shocked everybody yesterday.
• 2:10:47
  Speaker 2: All those liberal channels, channels 11, 12, and 13 in Israel,
• 2:10:52
  Speaker 2: they had Bibi dead. It was over. Well, guess what?
• 2:10:55
  Speaker 2: The demise of Bibi Netanyahu was way too early and
• 2:11:00
  Speaker 2: did not come to fruition because even though he did
• 2:11:04
  Speaker 2: not get to the coveted 61, he won the day.
• 2:11:06
  Speaker 2: He won the day. The Likud is still the biggest party.
• 2:11:12
  Speaker 2: He got the most seats with about 40% of the
• 2:11:15
  Speaker 2: vote in. A good five or six more than Eisenkot.
• 2:11:18
  Speaker 2: So for all you BB haters out there, here's two
• 2:11:21
  Speaker 2: words for you. Suck it. Suck it. Okay? Spit. Swallow.
• 2:11:28
  Speaker 2: Suck it. Yeah, that may have been a bit much.
• 2:11:32
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 2:11:32
  Speaker 1: That's not very nice, though.
• 2:11:33
  Speaker 19: Yeah.
• 2:11:36
  Speaker 2: Not very nice.
• 2:11:36
  Speaker 15: It's definitely not the definition good loser.
• 2:11:39
  Speaker 1: Good loser, good winner.
• 2:11:42
  Speaker 2: I'm a good winner. I won. Norm's brother's a loser.
• 2:11:45
  Speaker 2: Not that he's a loser, but on the day.
• 2:11:48
  Speaker 1: I was talking to you about this earlier this morning
• 2:11:50
  Speaker 1: when you were at the fan. This is how you
• 2:11:52
  Speaker 1: were like when the Mets would win. You'd run around
• 2:11:55
  Speaker 1: going after the people who were not Mets fans, screaming
• 2:11:57
  Speaker 1: at them in the exact same way.
• 2:11:59
  Speaker 2: So when you said it was either today or yesterday,
• 2:12:02
  Speaker 2: and you were so right, Norm, you nailed it again.
• 2:12:04
  Speaker 2: You said that the transition from political talk to sports talk,
• 2:12:08
  Speaker 2: what I did the other way, sports talk to political talk,
• 2:12:11
  Speaker 2: you said that for me it was easy, and you
• 2:12:14
  Speaker 2: just explained why. Because, yes, you know, I would do
• 2:12:17
  Speaker 2: the same thing when the Rangers beat the Islanders or
• 2:12:20
  Speaker 2: the Giants had success. When I was at the fan, though,
• 2:12:24
  Speaker 2: trying to think who was good, I got there in 2001.
• 2:12:28
  Speaker 2: That's when the Yankees lost to the Diamondbacks in the
• 2:12:31
  Speaker 2: World Series. The year before, the Mets played the Yankees
• 2:12:35
  Speaker 2: in the World Series, but I was still at WNEW.
• 2:12:38
  Speaker 8: Okay, you weren't there for the Subway Series.
• 2:12:39
  Speaker 2: I was not there for the Subway Series. I don't
• 2:12:41
  Speaker 2: believe I was, at least. Oh, no, wait a second. No,
• 2:12:44
  Speaker 2: I wasn't. 2000. I wasn't. I got there later in 2000. So, Yankees, Diamondbacks, 2001. Yankees, Marlins,
• 2:12:52
  Speaker 2: they lost that one. Joe Torre, his last. 2003. And
• 2:12:57
  Speaker 2: no other team had success back then. No Giants, no Jets,
• 2:13:01
  Speaker 2: no Knicks, no hockey, nothing. So it was the Yankees
• 2:13:06
  Speaker 2: for two World Series. They lost them both when I
• 2:13:09
  Speaker 2: was at the fan. I was there, though, at the
• 2:13:11
  Speaker 2: fan when Tom Coplin, Sunday game, Giants and Bears. Giants
• 2:13:17
  Speaker 2: were like 5-4, playing good football. Hall of Fame quarterback
• 2:13:21
  Speaker 2: Kurt Warner was the starting quarterback. And for some reason,
• 2:13:25
  Speaker 2: Tom Coplin... elected to bench Warner. They're playing good football, 5-4,
• 2:13:31
  Speaker 2: for a rookie named Eli Manning. I was there for that.
• 2:13:35
  Speaker 2: And that turned out to be a big conversation. And
• 2:13:37
  Speaker 2: I was there for Parcells with the Jets and that
• 2:13:40
  Speaker 2: one major draft, I guess. I think I was there
• 2:13:42
  Speaker 2: for that. Chad Pennington and Anthony Bacton. I think so.
• 2:13:46
  Speaker 1: Those sports guys are such lunatics. Were there ever any
• 2:13:49
  Speaker 1: physical fights between The hosts.
• 2:13:51
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah. We had one, Willie Mays Hayes and Donnie Veritzen.
• 2:13:57
  Speaker 2: Is that right? Steve Summers ought to break that up. Yes.
• 2:14:00
  Speaker 1: Wait, who are those two guys?
• 2:14:01
  Speaker 2: They were like board ops, producers. Oh, you mean like
• 2:14:05
  Speaker 2: real hosts?
• 2:14:06
  Speaker 1: Like were they fighting over like the Jets, that kind
• 2:14:08
  Speaker 1: of thing?
• 2:14:08
  Speaker 2: Well, I mean, look, look. There were times when Imus
• 2:14:12
  Speaker 2: and Mike got very, very heated. I got heated a
• 2:14:15
  Speaker 2: bunch with Jody McDonald, a bunch. Not nearly like Mike
• 2:14:18
  Speaker 2: and Chris. Those guys got heated every day. Every day,
• 2:14:21
  Speaker 2: Chris would run out of the studios. That Francesa was asleep.
• 2:14:24
  Speaker 2: And he would say this almost every day. He's killing me, Journey.
• 2:14:27
  Speaker 2: He's killing me. Like every day.
• 2:14:30
  Speaker 8: I don't know what Mike's thinking in there. I mean,
• 2:14:32
  Speaker 8: he is.
• 2:14:32
  Speaker 2: Every day.
• 2:14:34
  Speaker 15: He's not on the right team that we're talking about.
• 2:14:37
  Speaker 15: And he's someplace else.
• 2:14:39
  Speaker 2: I don't understand.
• 2:14:40
  Speaker 8: Now, I'll come back. I'm going to Journey's office.
• 2:14:43
  Speaker 2: He would run into the newsroom like the place was
• 2:14:45
  Speaker 2: on fire.
• 2:14:46
  Speaker 8: Oh, that place was just.
• 2:14:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no, there was yelling and screaming all the time.
• 2:14:50
  Speaker 2: Guys would come running out of the studio. Oh, one time,
• 2:14:53
  Speaker 2: Boomer Esiason nearly got murdered by Don Imus. Yeah. That
• 2:14:56
  Speaker 2: was very close.
• 2:14:57
  Speaker 8: He just walked in on them while they were talking.
• 2:14:59
  Speaker 2: There was the yelling and screaming and the cursing.
• 2:15:02
  Speaker 8: That was probably the craziest thing I've ever seen.
• 2:15:04
  Speaker 2: That was one of them, yeah. That was one of them.
• 2:15:05
  Speaker 8: Because Imus chased him out into the newsroom.
• 2:15:07
  Speaker 23: Yeah.
• 2:15:07
  Speaker 8: And he had his gun.
• 2:15:08
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 2:15:09
  Speaker 1: Oh, come on. He pulled out the gun?
• 2:15:12
  Speaker 2: Well, he pulled out the gun twice. When I was
• 2:15:14
  Speaker 2: there once with Boomer. And then I'm talking about in
• 2:15:17
  Speaker 2: the newsroom. And then when Amos found out that I
• 2:15:21
  Speaker 2: took the wrong shirts from the dry cleaner. And I
• 2:15:24
  Speaker 2: kept them. He had Bo Dietl set up this whole thing.
• 2:15:27
  Speaker 2: you know, crazy scene.
• 2:15:30
  Speaker 21: Oh yeah.
• 2:15:30
  Speaker 2: Bo invited in his buddy who was in The Sopranos.
• 2:15:33
  Speaker 2: He was like a body, a stunt guy, you know.
• 2:15:36
  Speaker 2: Guy's in great shape. He's a killer. And he walked
• 2:15:38
  Speaker 2: in and claimed that I took his shirts. And he
• 2:15:40
  Speaker 2: was a very good actor. And he scared the living
• 2:15:42
  Speaker 2: daylights out of me.
• 2:15:43
  Speaker 8: He was scared.
• 2:15:45
  Speaker 2: I ran to the turnoff's office, and Imus pulled his gun,
• 2:15:48
  Speaker 2: and Bo pulled his gun. This guy was so good.
• 2:15:51
  Speaker 2: He picked up a computer that was sitting on the
• 2:15:54
  Speaker 2: desk right by me and Imus and McCord. He picked
• 2:15:57
  Speaker 2: up the computer, two-story, and he threw it, and it
• 2:16:01
  Speaker 2: literally hit the glass where Lou and Bernie were on
• 2:16:03
  Speaker 2: the other side.
• 2:16:04
  Speaker 8: Oh, I think I remember that, too.
• 2:16:05
  Speaker 2: You remember that? They let this guy destroy the place
• 2:16:07
  Speaker 2: because they had to sell it. They had to sell it.
• 2:16:10
  Speaker 2: And I'm like, oh, my God, Johnny, he's going to
• 2:16:11
  Speaker 2: kill me. Take the shirts back.
• 2:16:13
  Speaker 15: Yeah, they made Sid insane.
• 2:16:16
  Speaker 2: Oh, my God.
• 2:16:16
  Speaker 15: I miscalled Boomer every name you could think of when
• 2:16:21
  Speaker 15: he chased him into the news.
• 2:16:23
  Speaker 1: Now, wait, so what happened? Boomer didn't know you were
• 2:16:24
  Speaker 1: on the air?
• 2:16:25
  Speaker 2: No, he didn't. He did know. He just walked in
• 2:16:27
  Speaker 2: like he thought he was like, hey, I'm Boomer Esiason.
• 2:16:30
  Speaker 2: I played on the Jets.
• 2:16:30
  Speaker 15: I'm going to talk to Charles about something. He actually
• 2:16:33
  Speaker 15: waved Imus off. I was like, what are you doing?
• 2:16:36
  Speaker 8: He was talking. And who was the person he was
• 2:16:38
  Speaker 8: talking to? See if you can remember this.
• 2:16:40
  Speaker 2: Was it the guy from Meet the Press? Tim Russert?
• 2:16:42
  Speaker 8: No, he does Monday Night Football.
• 2:16:46
  Speaker 2: He does? And he was on with us?
• 2:16:48
  Speaker 22: Yes.
• 2:16:49
  Speaker 8: It was Joe Buck. Yeah.
• 2:16:52
  Speaker 2: Oh, no kidding.
• 2:16:53
  Speaker 8: Yeah, it was Joe Buck. And he's like, put him
• 2:16:55
  Speaker 8: on hold a second. It was right in the middle
• 2:16:58
  Speaker 8: of talking to him.
• 2:16:58
  Speaker 2: Right in the middle of that?
• 2:16:59
  Speaker 21: Yeah.
• 2:16:59
  Speaker 23: Wow.
• 2:16:59
  Speaker 8: He came in in the middle of the interview and
• 2:17:01
  Speaker 8: he's like, don't worry about it. I got to talk
• 2:17:03
  Speaker 8: to Charles.
• 2:17:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 2:17:04
  Speaker 8: Oh, it was going to be bad. Mics went off.
• 2:17:07
  Speaker 2: You know, they never did fix that. What? Imus and Boomer.
• 2:17:12
  Speaker 2: They never got good again.
• 2:17:13
  Speaker 8: Yeah, I never. I didn't know what the result of
• 2:17:15
  Speaker 8: it was. He chased him out of the newsroom. Every curse.
• 2:17:19
  Speaker 8: You unprofessional MF-er.
• 2:17:23
  Speaker 15: I've never done that to anybody in my life.
• 2:17:25
  Speaker 2: You can't.
• 2:17:26
  Speaker 8: We went out. Bernie opened the door so we could
• 2:17:28
  Speaker 8: watch him. It was rough.
• 2:17:30
  Speaker 2: It was pretty rough. It was brutal. It was brutal.
• 2:17:33
  Speaker 2: It was the.
• 2:17:33
  Speaker 8: Craziest thing I think I've ever seen. Every name, though.
• 2:17:36
  Speaker 2: Every name. Think of a name.
• 2:17:37
  Speaker 1: That's awesome.
• 2:17:39
  Speaker 8: Just insane.
• 2:17:40
  Speaker 2: No, it was a crazy house. I mean, again.
• 2:17:44
