  Speaker 1: Sid and Friends in the Morning. Entertaining and informative.
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: On the Red Apple Podcast Network.
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: The future of New York, the future of the country,
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: the future of the world is me.
• 0:14
  Speaker 3: And now to the midterms. With election day, polls will
• 0:17
  Speaker 3: open across the tri-state area at 6 a.m. In New York,
• 0:21
  Speaker 3: you have until 9 p.m.
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: To vote.
• 0:24
  Speaker 3: New Jersey and Connecticut locations close at 8 p.m. And
• 0:27
  Speaker 3: we've been seeing enthusiasm with early voting. Nearly 2 million
• 0:32
  Speaker 3: people already cast their ballot in New York so far.
• 0:35
  Speaker 3: That is up from nearly 1.2 million New Yorkers who
• 0:38
  Speaker 3: voted early in the 2022 midterms. Dick Brennan is here
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: now to lead off our team coverage.
• 0:45
  Speaker 4: Dick.
• 0:45
  Speaker 5: Well, Christine, the final night of campaigning before the election,
• 0:48
  Speaker 5: a night when candidates give their closing arguments. But it
• 0:51
  Speaker 5: also could be a time for political stunts on the
• 0:54
  Speaker 5: sidelines or in the bowling lanes. I fully expect that
• 0:57
  Speaker 5: tomorrow night I will raise my hand just like the
• 0:59
  Speaker 5: Knicks did and claim the championship. Bruce Blakeman ready to
• 1:02
  Speaker 5: pull a Brunson and this time hoping to take an
• 1:05
  Speaker 5: Albany title. His trip to the garden with his campaign
• 1:08
  Speaker 5: message plastered on his back.
• 1:10
  Speaker 6: Did you guys see my new jersey?
• 1:11
  Speaker 7: Yes.
• 1:15
  Speaker 5: And from bowling fans to bowling fans. Yes, that's Governor
• 1:19
  Speaker 5: Hochul at Brooklyn Bowl in Williamsburg. And yes, she threw
• 1:23
  Speaker 5: a strike after a closing rally.
• 1:25
  Speaker 8: There's been such a positive feeling out there. People are
• 1:29
  Speaker 8: just so hungry, so hungry to have Democrats lead this
• 1:33
  Speaker 8: nation once again.
• 1:35
  Speaker 5: It was a day for reaching for one more hand,
• 1:37
  Speaker 5: giving one more hug, and doing retail politics at the
• 1:41
  Speaker 5: diner and rallying like there's no tomorrow because there isn't.
• 1:45
  Speaker 8: We don't allow here in New York State. Trump-style leadership,
• 1:50
  Speaker 8: which is what Bruce Blakeman said he would bring to
• 1:52
  Speaker 8: New York.
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: We are the highest taxed state in America.
• 1:55
  Speaker 9: Our utility bills are 70% higher than the national average,
• 1:58
  Speaker 9: and crime is rampant in our communities.
• 2:00
  Speaker 5: Blakeman has an uphill battle. He's welcomed an unpopular president
• 2:03
  Speaker 5: in his home state, but last time Hochul ran, she
• 2:06
  Speaker 5: defeated Republican Lee Zeldin by a mere six points.
• 2:09
  Speaker 10: Democrats, Hochul, they have to win by a big margin.
• 2:12
  Speaker 10: I would say If Hochul wins by 12 points or more,
• 2:14
  Speaker 10: that is an incredible night. If Republicans can hold the
• 2:17
  Speaker 10: governor's race to a single point margin, that's a great
• 2:20
  Speaker 10: night for Republicans.
• 2:21
  Speaker 5: Early voting has surged some 60 percent higher than the
• 2:24
  Speaker 5: 2022 midterms. Each candidate following an old playbook. Go where
• 2:28
  Speaker 5: your votes are. The biggest pool in New York City.
• 2:31
  Speaker 10: Hochul's got to win New York City by a large margin.
• 2:33
  Speaker 10: 30 points or more. Bruce Blakeman's got to win Long
• 2:36
  Speaker 10: Island by a huge margin. 20 points or more.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: The numbers for each side.
• 2:39
  Speaker 5: Now, the polling also shows Mayor Mamdani's campaigning with Hochul
• 2:42
  Speaker 5: was a plus. But would any so-called coattails from the
• 2:45
  Speaker 5: top of the ticket help flip seats from red to
• 2:48
  Speaker 5: blue upstate in the Hudson Valley? A major question to
• 2:51
  Speaker 5: be answered.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: Christine, among other major questions.
• 2:54
  Speaker 11: Absolutely.
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: That's a great point, Dick. In fact, in our area,
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: the race for New York's District 17 is among the
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: most competitive as Republican incumbent Mike Lawler fights off a
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: challenge from Democrat Kate Conley. And then over in New Jersey,
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: Republican Tom Kane Jr. seeking a third term in Congress.
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: But Democratic challenger Rebecca Bennett believes that she can flip
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: his district.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: Bruce Blakeman.
• 3:17
  Speaker 9: Well, thank you, Sid, and thank you for your support.
• 3:20
  Speaker 9: You've been a really, really dear friend, like a brother
• 3:23
  Speaker 9: to me, and it's deeply appreciated. I think we're going
• 3:27
  Speaker 9: to have a really sweet victory. I feel it everywhere,
• 3:31
  Speaker 9: especially in New York City. When people come up to
• 3:35
  Speaker 9: me in the Bronx and Queens and Brooklyn and Staten
• 3:38
  Speaker 9: Island and Manhattan, And they tell me, I'm a Democrat.
• 3:42
  Speaker 9: I've never voted Republican before, but I'm voting for you
• 3:45
  Speaker 9: and I'm voting Republican this year. It gives me great
• 3:48
  Speaker 9: encouragement that people are fed up with the high taxes,
• 3:52
  Speaker 9: the high utility bills. Two women were raped in New
• 3:56
  Speaker 9: York City in just the last week. And Kathy Hochul
• 4:00
  Speaker 9: has the gall to stand there with Zoran Mondami and
• 4:03
  Speaker 9: say it's safer. It's not safer. A 15-year-old boy was
• 4:06
  Speaker 9: shot in New York City last week. It's not safer.
• 4:11
  Speaker 9: It's all a hoax. And the fact of the matter
• 4:13
  Speaker 9: is everybody needs to go out and vote to save
• 4:17
  Speaker 9: our state because I'm the only one that can stop
• 4:21
  Speaker 9: Zoran Mondami. I'm the only one that will cut taxes.
• 4:24
  Speaker 9: You know Kathy Hochul will increase taxes. I'm the only
• 4:27
  Speaker 9: one that can cut utility bills. And I am the
• 4:30
  Speaker 9: only one that will be able to make safer communities
• 4:33
  Speaker 9: for you and your families because the choice is between
• 4:36
  Speaker 9: Hochul Mondami and sanity.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: It's not just the.
• 4:40
  Speaker 12: Governor's race that people will be watching closely.
• 4:42
  Speaker 13: The balance of power in Washington is on the line.
• 4:44
  Speaker 14: All right, Fox 5's Sharon Crowley here now with a
• 4:45
  Speaker 14: look at the races that could ultimately decide which party
• 4:48
  Speaker 14: has control of Congress.
• 4:49
  Speaker 15: And there are a lot of states we're talking about today.
• 4:52
  Speaker 15: As we said, with the balance of power it's taking Congress,
• 4:54
  Speaker 15: President Trump and the candidates in key swing states are
• 4:57
  Speaker 15: making final pitches to voters. Some of these states President
• 5:00
  Speaker 15: Trump won handily. in 2024 are now leaning toward Democrats.
• 5:06
  Speaker 15: His agenda for the next two years is now on
• 5:09
  Speaker 15: the line. He continued his campaign blitz at the Lincoln
• 5:11
  Speaker 15: Memorial reflecting pool in D.C.
• 5:13
  Speaker 16: As you know, this is the last day before the
• 5:15
  Speaker 16: midterm elections, the most important midterm, I believe, in our lifetime.
• 5:20
  Speaker 16: The Democrat Party is nominated the most extreme and dangerous candidate.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: Slate of candidates in American history.
• 5:27
  Speaker 15: Well, early voting numbers have been surging here and around
• 5:30
  Speaker 15: the country, outpacing turnout in the last midterms in 2022. Historically,
• 5:36
  Speaker 15: the party in power tends to lose ground in the
• 5:39
  Speaker 15: mid-cycle elections. Polls show that Democrats are poised to take
• 5:42
  Speaker 15: control of the House, but the Senate is still a
• 5:45
  Speaker 15: toss-up with the focus on states that include Texas, South Carolina, Ohio, Maine, Mississippi, Iowa, Kansas,
• 5:52
  Speaker 15: and Alaska. If the Senate is is so close, it's
• 5:55
  Speaker 15: a 50 50 outcome. Republicans would maintain control of that
• 5:59
  Speaker 15: chamber as Vice President Vance would be the tiebreaker. I
• 6:03
  Speaker 15: spoke with several political analysts from both parties about what
• 6:06
  Speaker 15: we can expect.
• 6:07
  Speaker 14: I think that there'll be some deals to be had there.
• 6:10
  Speaker 14: I think there'll be real oversight. I think the nation
• 6:13
  Speaker 14: is demanding real oversight in this election.
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: I think that's what you're going to get.
• 6:17
  Speaker 14: I think that some of his cabinet members should probably
• 6:19
  Speaker 14: pack up their bags tonight. and be ready to leave
• 6:23
  Speaker 14: because I don't think they're going to make it to
• 6:24
  Speaker 14: the new Congress.
• 6:25
  Speaker 17: We could see deal-making happening. The president has things that
• 6:28
  Speaker 17: he wants to accomplish. He knows he needs budgets to
• 6:31
  Speaker 17: make that happen. So both sides have a strong interest
• 6:34
  Speaker 17: in trying to make sure that there are budgets submitted
• 6:37
  Speaker 17: in a timely way that prevents a government shutdown. But
• 6:41
  Speaker 17: everything's going to be about 2028 and the presidential election
• 6:45
  Speaker 17: and setting up the contours of what that campaign looks like.
• 6:48
  Speaker 9: I would expect.
• 6:50
  Speaker 18: If the Senate stays Republican, that the most important things
• 6:54
  Speaker 18: they're going to do this year is that one, maybe
• 6:56
  Speaker 18: even two Supreme Court justices. And of course, it will
• 7:00
  Speaker 18: be just a stop to any weird impeachment campaign.
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: That the House attempts.
• 7:06
  Speaker 15: Well, poll after poll showing that voters across the board
• 7:09
  Speaker 15: are concerned about the economy, everything from groceries to gas
• 7:12
  Speaker 15: prices and the ongoing war in Iran. If Democrats do
• 7:15
  Speaker 15: do well, most political analysts that I talk with tell
• 7:17
  Speaker 15: me it will be because it is a referendum on
• 7:20
  Speaker 15: President Trump's first two years in his second term in office.
• 7:23
  Speaker 15: It's why Republicans are working equally as hard to try
• 7:27
  Speaker 15: to hold on to the Senate.
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: All right, Sharon, thank you so much.
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: Will we retain the Senate? Will we replace that wretched witch?
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: That's what she is. Don't bother wasting time with me
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: and telling me she's a nice person. Don't do that.
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: Only one person in my life is allowed to tell
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: me that. He knows who he is. He's upstairs. Okay? Because, A,
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: he's a dear friend, and, B, I understand he's got
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: business dealing, so I hold him to a different standard, okay?
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: No one else is allowed to tell me that Kathy
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: Hochul is a nice person. She's not. Well, Letitia James
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: is a nice person. She's not. Okay? So, we got
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: this race today. My dear, dear friend, my brother, Bruce Blakeman,
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: who has done a tremendous job now winning the Nassau
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: County Executive race twice. He is the current Nassau County Executive,
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: but he's worked very, very hard trying to become governor.
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: He ran a great campaign last Yeah, a couple times
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: the last couple of months I would see somebody. Hey, Sid,
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: tell your friend Bruce no one knows who he is.
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: Shut up. He hasn't come to the Bronx enough. He
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: didn't go to Utica enough. He didn't go to Monticello,
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: whatever it was. Don't you love it when Republicans complain
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: about their own candidates? You want to complain? about somebody
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: like Curtis Sliva, that's fine, okay? Rumors about getting paid
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: by a Democrat out there trying to beat the second-place guy,
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: that's fine. But Bruce Blankman worked his ass off. Worked
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: his ass off. There were many, many days, many, where
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: he started the day on Long Island, went to one
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: of the five boroughs, and ended up in the Southern Tier.
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: You know, some Fafanafinko city towards Buffalo, towards Canada. This
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: guy was on airplanes and helicopters. If Bruce Blankman loses
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: this race today, and he could. Why? Because I said
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: it yesterday. I'm going to say it again. The idea
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: that New Yorkers are smart is untrue.
• 9:47
  Speaker 19: Why?
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: Because they read the New York Times. You may as
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: well read the cat in the hat. by Dr.
• 9:53
  Speaker 9: Seuss.
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: That's every bit as real as the New York Times.
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: I mean, I know. we seem sophisticated. We've got Wall Street,
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: the business capital of the world, but New Yorkers are stupid.
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: They're dumb, Democrat, stupid people. Now, maybe somebody in my
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: audience is a Democrat. Why would Sid call his people
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: stupid people? The truth is Democrats, for the most part,
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: don't listen to me. And if they are listening, it's
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: because they're not stupid. They're smart. They have figured it out.
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: So it's not because Bruce Blakeman didn't run a great campaign,
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: didn't work his ass off. It's because New Yorkers maintain
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: this biased stupidity. Is that not fair, Noam?
• 10:45
  Speaker 12: Well, New Yorkers definitely lean towards Democrats.
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: No, they're stupid. They're stupid.
• 10:49
  Speaker 6: Well, they may be stupid.
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's it. I don't want to hear about leaning
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: towards Democrats. We know that already. Okay, genius. They're stupid. Wait, you.
• 10:56
  Speaker 6: I mean, I don't understand.
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: You're very angry this morning. What are you talking about? Well,
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: I'm angry because... The election hasn't been decided yet. I'm nervous, though.
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: I'm not angry. I'm definitely nervous.
• 11:05
  Speaker 6: Don't take it out on me. Take it on somebody else.
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: I'll take it. I don't know if I want to
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: take it out on. How about that? And, you know,
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: you lean to the left, too. How do you know that?
• 11:15
  Speaker 6: You've never seen my voter. You don't know how I vote.
• 11:18
  Speaker 6: I may or may not.
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: Everybody knows. It's a worst-kept secret. Everybody knows. Everybody knows.
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: Doesn't change the fact that I love you like a
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: brother and you're the best news guy in the city.
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: But stop lying to people. I'm not lying to anybody.
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: You lean left. I've never talked about who I voted for.
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: In fact, if you want to have a real conversation,
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: you're to the left of Bernie Sanders. Oh, wow. You've
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: never voted for President Trump. That I know for a fact.
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: How do you know? Well, I know. Don't ask me
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: how I know.
• 11:48
  Speaker 20: I know everything.
• 11:48
  Speaker 6: Were you in the booth with me when I voted?
• 11:50
  Speaker 19: No.
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: But somebody else was. Okay. It doesn't make you a
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: bad person. It just makes you stupid. But you're not stupid.
• 11:58
  Speaker 6: I actually let my young son at the time vote
• 12:02
  Speaker 6: in the last election. Yeah, he chose who I voted
• 12:04
  Speaker 6: for president.
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: That's actually smart.
• 12:06
  Speaker 12: And I'll just let you know that he's a huge
• 12:09
  Speaker 12: Donald Trump fan.
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he's like my son, Gabriel.
• 12:11
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: You have a son, Gabriel, too. I do. If I
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: let my daughter vote for me, none of my candidates
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: would ever win.
• 12:17
  Speaker 19: Right.
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: I mean, Ava's coming along just a little bit, but
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: not quick enough for my liking. But that's okay. So
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: I'm not angry today. I'm anxious. Is that fair? Yeah.
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: I'm very anxious. I'm not confident. I'm not, okay? Because
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: we started as huge underdogs. Bruce started this thing down
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: like 26 points. Some polls had him down four. Some
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: other polls that lean left, use that terminology already, that
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: lean left had him down double digits this week.
• 12:48
  Speaker 7: So.
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: Other than I love Bruce. And listen, everybody loves Bruce.
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: Everybody is Bruce's best friend. You're not.
• 12:55
  Speaker 19: I am.
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: Okay? That's it. Outside of Joe Cairo and a few
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: other people on Long Island, I'm Bruce's guy. That's it.
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: I don't care what video he did with you this week.
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: What do you think? He's my guy. He came to
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: me early on and asked my opinion about running. That's
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: how much he respects my opinion. But am I confident
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: he's going to win today? You want an honest answer? No.
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: I'm not confident. I'm hopeful. I think he's got a shot.
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: But I'm not confident about any Republican race. Actually, I
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: shouldn't say that. I'm confident Nick Lovato will win. Suffolk County,
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: I am. Lopetri, I like his chances against Two-Face Tom Suozzi. Janine,
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: I don't know. She's a great candidate. Great. But Gillen
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: beat Anthony D'Esposito. So I don't know if Janine's going
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: to beat her. So a lot of the races, like
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: Saritha's a much better candidate than Letitia James. But gun
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: to my head, do I think Saritha wins today? No,
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: I don't. I think she keeps it close. I mean,
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: we actually, in the Republican Party in New York, this
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: is how sad we are. We take moral victories. You
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: heard the news. If Blakeman loses by 12 points today,
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: that is a referendum on Republicans. But if he loses
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: by single digits, it's a good day for the Republicans.
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: What do you mean? So if you lose a football
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: game by one point, it's okay?
• 14:19
  Speaker 19: It's a loss.
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: It's a loss. So Sarita, she's going to make it
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: close because she's the better candidate, but she's not a Democrat.
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: She's also not a MAGA Republican. She went to one
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: Trump rally. She's not MAGA. But do I think she's
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: going to win today?
• 14:35
  Speaker 7: No.
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: Do you know?
• 14:37
  Speaker 7: No.
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: What Republicans are you confident in? There's a load that's
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: going to win. What other Republicans are you confident get
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: victories today?
• 14:47
  Speaker 12: I think don't overlook the two races on Long Island.
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: Oh, Lepetri and Driscoll.
• 14:52
  Speaker 6: Yeah, because Lepetri ran against Swazi two years ago, and
• 14:58
  Speaker 6: he only lost by three points.
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: That's correct.
• 15:00
  Speaker 6: And that's Nassau County, where you think a lot of
• 15:03
  Speaker 6: people are going to come out to vote for Bruce
• 15:04
  Speaker 6: Blakeman because they know him well.
• 15:06
  Speaker 12: So maybe that's enough to put Lepetri past.
• 15:09
  Speaker 6: Swazi over there. Same holds true for Janine Driscoll. She's
• 15:13
  Speaker 6: got a shot because people are going to come out
• 15:15
  Speaker 6: of Long Island because they like Bruce Blakeman.
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: Oh, they both have a shot.
• 15:17
  Speaker 6: But I'm saying I think that's a decent shot.
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: But who do you think is going to win? I
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: don't know.
• 15:22
  Speaker 12: I think those races could be really close on Long Island.
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: Okay, so do I. I think they're both going to
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: be very, very close, Lopetri and Driscoll. Like I said,
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: a load of wins on Suffolk County. What other local races?
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: Like Nicole Maliotakis wins easily. That's not going to be close.
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: What other races are we paying attention to?
• 15:40
  Speaker 6: Well, there's Tom Kane Jr. in New Jersey. That's a
• 15:43
  Speaker 6: Republican seat that Republicans are worried about losing.
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: Well, he went disappearing for a couple of months. Well,
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: he did. He has won the last two elections. He's
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: looking to win his third in a row. He did disappear,
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: but he's the favorite to win today, right?
• 15:56
  Speaker 20: No.
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: Oh, no. No, he's not. This other kid they try
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: to push on my show a million times, God bless him,
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: this kid Justin Murphy, he beat my friend Alex Zidane.
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: Nice guy. Smart guy. He should win. He's going to
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: get murdered by Cory Booker today.
• 16:12
  Speaker 4: Murdered.
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: Who's the other guy out there in Jersey? The El
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: Sayed guy. The doctor. Oh, yeah.
• 16:17
  Speaker 6: Well, he's going to win.
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: What's his name? He's going to win, too. Yeah.
• 16:22
  Speaker 6: Most of these races are decided. There's only two races
• 16:24
  Speaker 6: in New Jersey that are close. One of them is
• 16:26
  Speaker 6: in South Jersey. And then the one that's closest to
• 16:28
  Speaker 6: us is this Tom Kane Jr. He's been in office
• 16:32
  Speaker 6: for two terms. And he's up against this military woman,
• 16:35
  Speaker 6: Rebecca Bennett.
• 16:37
  Speaker 12: And she's run a pretty good campaign. And because maybe he.
• 16:40
  Speaker 6: Went MIA in action for three months over the spring,
• 16:43
  Speaker 6: we had mental health issues, but we didn't find out
• 16:46
  Speaker 6: about it till afterwards.
• 16:47
  Speaker 12: Whether voters will punish him for that, we don't know.
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 16:51
  Speaker 6: But that that seat goes back and forth, Democratic to Republican. Well, actually,
• 16:55
  Speaker 6: Republicans have held it for a while. But so that
• 16:57
  Speaker 6: race they're worried about. So that's New Jersey. And then,
• 16:59
  Speaker 6: of course, the one that they've poured so much money
• 17:02
  Speaker 6: into in the Hudson Valley is the Mike Lawler race.
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: Well, I'll be out there tonight. I, again, accepted the
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: invitation from Mike Lawler, Lauren Marie. I don't think Blakeman
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: even knows about it yet. I spoke to him late
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: last night. He said, I'll see you tomorrow. He's not
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: going to see me today. So Lawler's event at the
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: Pearl River Hilton in Rockland County. I'll be hosting that
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: later on tonight. It's a big deal. Come on, man.
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: They got me in limos. They got a hotel room.
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: They're taking very good care of me. And I love
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: Mike like I love Bruce. And, yes, I know that
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: they poured a lot of money into that. Polly Market,
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: they know nothing but Polly Market and Kalshi. They had
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: Conley up 14 points, percentage points, on Lawler yesterday. Listen
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: to me very carefully, okay? I just told you I'm anxious.
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: I'm not very confident. I am supremely confident that Mike
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: Lawler is going to beat Kate Conley today. If I wasn't,
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: there's no way in a million years, if they paid
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: me a million dollars... that I'd host that event later
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: on tonight. There's nothing worse than being inside a ballroom
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: with a bunch of enthusiastic people at 8 o'clock who
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: want to kill themselves at 10 o'clock. Okay? Lawler's going
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: to beat Kate Conley today, trust me.
• 18:18
  Speaker 6: Well, and you know what? Lawler has going for him
• 18:20
  Speaker 6: a lot of things. But here's the thing to think
• 18:22
  Speaker 6: about when voters are going to the polls, a lot
• 18:24
  Speaker 6: of them upset with the president, especially places in New York,
• 18:28
  Speaker 6: is that Lawler, while his district went for Biden... In 2020, right,
• 18:36
  Speaker 6: Lawler won there.
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: 24-2. 22.
• 18:38
  Speaker 6: And when his district went for Kamala Harris, which it
• 18:43
  Speaker 6: did against Donald Trump, he won again. So he was
• 18:47
  Speaker 6: able to, even though people were picking Democrats at the
• 18:49
  Speaker 6: top of the ticket, they still chose him. So you
• 18:52
  Speaker 6: would think that bodes well for him tonight.
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: I agree. He will join us coming up at 855
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: this morning. We've got two candidates running that will be
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: with us today. One in studio is running against Tom
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: DiNapoli for Comptroller. Great guy. Cuban immigrant. He's a big
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: success in the United States. He's also run for mayor,
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: but he's also a huge underdog today. Joseph Hernandez. So
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: for many, many weeks and months, you've seen Bruce Blinkman
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: campaign with Saritha running for attorney general on his right.
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: And Hernandez, one of the controller on his left. So
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: Hernandez live in studio coming up in about 30 minutes.
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: And then Mike Lawler coming up just before 9 o'clock
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: this morning. That filthy C-word, Chevalier, she's going to win today, right?
• 19:41
  Speaker 6: Easily, yeah.
• 19:42
  Speaker 21: Yeah.
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: What a low-life piece of garbage she is. There's like
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: 11 DSA members that are set to win today in Congress.
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: 11 DSA. America-hating, Jew-hating DSA Democrats that are going to
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: make people like Hakeem Jeffries even more powerful. He's not
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: a terrible guy, Hakeem. He's just a dummy. Don't forget,
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: this was the guy that on the floor in Brooklyn started...
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: quoting Biggie Smalls, I swear to God, from his song Hypnosis.
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: Is that the song? It's a big hit. It was
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: a big hit. Biggie Smalls. He started quoting about sardine
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: dinners and stuff like that. I don't know. Hypnosis. Yeah.
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: Hakeem Jeffries. Hypnotized. Hypnotized. That's right. So Hakeem Jeffries and
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: AOC and Chuck Schumer, they're about to become even more powerful,
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: although Chuck... is probably going to quit because AOC is
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: going to primary him and beat him unless she decides
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: to run for president. And when you look at the
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: possibilities this morning, and we'll be talking president in the
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: next six months, on the right, J.D. Vance. Is he
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: the guy? Does Trump anoint J.D.
• 20:57
  Speaker 22: Vance?
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: You got other guys like Ted Cruz, Glenn Youngkin, maybe DeSantis,
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: maybe Haley, but the one that most folks... think would
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: be the best competition for the Republicans would be bans
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: against my guy, Marco Rubio. On the left, you're going
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: to have Gavin Newsom, probably. You're going to have Pete Buttigieg, probably.
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: You're going to have AOC, likely. You're going to have
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: Kamala Harris, that moron, likely. So my question to you,
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: and let's kill me the same thing, though, is how
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: long after these elections today do Win or lose for
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: the Republicans when we start talking seriously about President 2028.
• 21:42
  Speaker 6: Wednesday afternoon.
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: You think so? Yeah. That quickly? Tomorrow.
• 21:46
  Speaker 6: People love this stuff.
• 21:47
  Speaker 17: Well, J.D.
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: Vance has to make up his mind sometime soon, no?
• 21:50
  Speaker 6: You do because people want to know where they want
• 21:53
  Speaker 6: to send, you know, the people who are putting out
• 21:55
  Speaker 6: big money. They want to know where that money is
• 21:56
  Speaker 6: going to go and they want to know that you're
• 21:58
  Speaker 6: getting ready to run.
• 21:59
  Speaker 17: Yeah.
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: Let me play some of this Bruce Blakeman stuff. I
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: played this in the open. Bruce Blakeman was on with
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: me just yesterday. We'll play this two or three times
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: today because I love Bruce. If you don't like it,
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: go up yourself. Maybe I am mad today. I don't know, Norm.
• 22:12
  Speaker 19: I don't know. No, I don't think so.
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: You don't think so?
• 22:14
  Speaker 17: Nope.
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: I'll F you. Here's Bruce Blakeman.
• 22:16
  Speaker 6: I guess you were wrong.
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: Cut number two. Just play the damn cut number two. Yeah,
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: come on, Lou. Bruce Blakeman.
• 22:24
  Speaker 9: Well, thank you, Sid, and thank you for your support.
• 22:26
  Speaker 9: You've been a really, really dear friend, like a brother
• 22:30
  Speaker 9: to me, and it's deeply appreciated. I think we're going
• 22:34
  Speaker 9: to have a really sweet victory. I feel it everywhere,
• 22:38
  Speaker 9: especially in New York City. When people come up to
• 22:42
  Speaker 9: me in the Bronx and Queens and Brooklyn and Staten
• 22:45
  Speaker 9: Island and Manhattan, and they tell me I'm a Democrat,
• 22:49
  Speaker 9: I've never voted Republican before, but I'm voting for you
• 22:52
  Speaker 9: and I'm voting Republican this year. It gives me great
• 22:55
  Speaker 9: encouragement that people are fed up with the high taxes,
• 22:59
  Speaker 9: the high utility bills. Two women were raped in New
• 23:03
  Speaker 9: York City in just the last week, and Kathy Hochul
• 23:06
  Speaker 9: has the gall to stand there with Zoran Mondami and
• 23:09
  Speaker 9: say it's safer. It's not safer. A 15-year-old boy was
• 23:13
  Speaker 9: shot in New York City last week. It's not safer.
• 23:17
  Speaker 9: It's all a hoax, and the fact of the matter is...
• 23:21
  Speaker 9: Everybody needs to go out and vote to save our
• 23:24
  Speaker 9: state because I'm the only one that can stop Zoran Mondami.
• 23:29
  Speaker 9: I'm the only one that will cut taxes. You know
• 23:31
  Speaker 9: Kathy Hochul will increase taxes. I'm the only one that
• 23:34
  Speaker 9: can cut utility bills. And I am the only one
• 23:37
  Speaker 9: that will be able to make safer communities for you
• 23:40
  Speaker 9: and your families because the choice is between hokumandami and sanity.
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: It's really that simple. What jersey was Nick Jersey was
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: Bruce Blakeman wearing yesterday? No, I couldn't tell. Was it Bronson?
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: I couldn't tell. It may have been his own. I
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: don't know. But he was out there.
• 23:55
  Speaker 6: It said his name on the back.
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: It did, right?
• 23:57
  Speaker 6: I wasn't paying attention to the number.
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: Okay, no, that's Blakeman. He was out at the Garden.
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: We know Jim Dolan loves him. Just two weeks ago,
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: me and Blakeman went to a Knick preseason game against Toronto.
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: Last night he was there. Oh, it says cut taxes.
• 24:13
  Speaker 23: And a 26.
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: Oh, 26.
• 24:14
  Speaker 6: For the race.
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: Number 26, cut taxes. He's sitting courtside. For the Knicks
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: and Nets last night, Jim Dolan loves Bruce Blakeman. He's
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: given him millions and millions of dollars. So here was
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: Bruce Blakeman talking about the Knicks and himself last night.
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: Cut number three.
• 24:32
  Speaker 23: I fully expect that tomorrow night I will raise my
• 24:34
  Speaker 23: hand just like the Knicks did and claim the championship.
• 24:38
  Speaker 6: By the way, he was mobbed outside the garden. I
• 24:40
  Speaker 6: saw a video of people running over to shake his hand,
• 24:43
  Speaker 6: take pictures with him.
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: He says when he walks around Manhattan, they mob him.
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: Let me get to Hulk, although I guess we've got
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: to play this wicked witch game. She says our people
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: are hungry for Democrats to lead the nation. By the way, Kathy,
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: you've been in charge in this state for years. They're
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: not hungry. Clearly they're not hungry. But you've already been
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: in charge, Doofus. Here's a hokal number five, Lewis.
• 25:04
  Speaker 19: There's been such.
• 25:05
  Speaker 8: A positive feeling out there.
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: People are just so hungry. God, she's so stupid. I
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: knew that wasn't going to last. I mean, come on.
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: The hell is she talking about? God.
• 25:17
  Speaker 6: Well, talk about somebody riding the... Democratic wave. I mean,
• 25:20
  Speaker 6: she's absolutely doing that.
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: That's all she's doing.
• 25:22
  Speaker 6: People are coming out to vote for congressional seats, and
• 25:25
  Speaker 6: then she'll get that vote for governor.
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: Along the way. I believe eight states are now open.
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: They opened 35 minutes ago, 6 a.m. Eastern time. That
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: includes us here in New York and New Jersey, Virginia, Maine,
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: New Hampshire, Kentucky, Connecticut, and Indiana. Are those the eight
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: states open right now?
• 25:46
  Speaker 6: That sounds right.
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: Eight states you can go vote, including New York City
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: this morning. I don't know exactly what time Bruce Blateman
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: will vote on Long Island today. He's going to text
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: me at some point, I would imagine, coming up this morning.
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: Any other races we need to pay attention to?
• 26:01
  Speaker 6: Locally, you mean?
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: No, even around the country.
• 26:03
  Speaker 6: Well, I mean, for sure there's all these Senate races
• 26:05
  Speaker 6: that we just don't know what's going to.
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: Happen, right?
• 26:08
  Speaker 6: So you've got Michigan, Mike Rogers against Abdul El-Sayed. There's
• 26:12
  Speaker 6: all kinds of polls.
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: Let me ask you this. I'll ask you the same thing.
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: Haley Stevens, who lost to Muhammad Abdul El-Sayed in the primary,
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: she initially endorsed El-Sayed, but she's got a Jewish fiance
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: and something happened. I don't know exactly what. And she
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: went the other way a couple of days ago. Now
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: she's endorsing the Republican, the Republican. She's a Republican like
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: John Fetterman, Mike Rogers. Do you think Haley Stevens turning
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: on El-Sayed matters?
• 26:46
  Speaker 6: It might make a difference.
• 26:47
  Speaker 12: I mean, you think about people who could turn this race.
• 26:49
  Speaker 6: I mean, there's a pretty large Jewish population in Michigan,
• 26:52
  Speaker 6: and they're confused because most of them are Democrats, but
• 26:55
  Speaker 6: they don't necessarily want to vote for El-Sayed because he
• 26:58
  Speaker 6: wants to stop sending military might to Israel and would
• 27:01
  Speaker 6: put them in harm's way. So that's part of it.
• 27:04
  Speaker 6: Some of them see him as being anti-Semitic. So where
• 27:06
  Speaker 6: do they go? Do they go to Mike Rogers? Do
• 27:08
  Speaker 6: they sit on their hands and don't vote at all?
• 27:10
  Speaker 6: It's not really clear.
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 27:11
  Speaker 6: So she's part of that crew. So maybe it makes
• 27:13
  Speaker 6: a difference when she says, I hope so.
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: Well, what makes a bigger difference? Her going against El-Sayed
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: or the new American traitor? I can't believe I love
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: this guy one day. The new American traitor out of
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: our sister state, New Jersey, the douchebag, the traitor. Bruce Springsteen,
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: he actually endorsed El-Sayed yesterday. He endorsed him. Remember that
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: video we made on MSNBC years ago for Kamala Harris
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: that really turned people off? Now he's doing a tour, basically,
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: where he bashes Trump every night. Bruce Springsteen, a lot
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: of Jews in New York and New Jersey like me,
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: love this guy for years, spent a ton of money
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: on this loser. He goes out and endorses El-Sayed yesterday?
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: Does that help, Abdul? I mean, do you?
• 28:04
  Speaker 6: Have you ever voted based on what Bruce Springsteen told
• 28:06
  Speaker 6: you to do?
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: Never. Never. But there are more on top of it.
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: But it's last minute.
• 28:12
  Speaker 6: I mean, why did he wait until the last possible
• 28:14
  Speaker 6: moment to do that?
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: Well, I don't know.
• 28:16
  Speaker 7: I don't know.
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: Oh, look at this tweet by Frank Marano, one of
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: our five Republican city council members. If Bruce Blakeman pulls
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: out a win today, the two people... Most responsible for
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: that win will be Kathy Hochul and Sid Rosenblatt. That's right. Hochul,
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: because of failed leadership of this state, has led so
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: many Dems to take a chance on the GOP. And Sid,
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: because he's made the most convincing case I've ever heard. Wow.
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: Frank Morano. Thank you. I love you, Frank. Thank you.
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: That's very nice. And he's right. You know, really, any
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: time a Republican wins in New York, which is rare,
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: very rare, you've got to thank me. Bruce admits when
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: he beat Laura Curran to become the Nassau County executive
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: the first time around, he admits it was because of me.
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: Same thing with Ann Donnelly when she won the D.A.
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: job on Long Island. So any time a Republican has success...
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: You can pretty much credit us, though. Pretty much.
• 29:20
  Speaker 6: Now, if Bruce Blakeman wins tonight, who gets to make
• 29:23
  Speaker 6: the victory speech, Bruce Blakeman or you?
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: I'll be on Rockland County. It'll be Joe Cairo. Joe
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: Cairo will take all the credit. Joe's a great guy.
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: I love Joe Cairo. He should take the credit. Him
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: and Peter King and all those people. They put Bruce
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: Blakeman out there, so they should take the credit. get
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: the credit first. But on a serious note, any Republican
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: in this city, in this state, that has any success,
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: it's all driven by this show.
• 29:48
  Speaker 20: 100%.
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: Everybody knows it.
• 29:51
  Speaker 5: No?
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 29:53
  Speaker 12: You've got to stop here and you've got to spend
• 29:54
  Speaker 12: a lot of time here if you want to win.
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: That's it. So thank you for that, Frank Morano. All right,
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: you mentioned Michigan. Texas, big one tonight, too. House races
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: that are big in Texas, too, but specifically Tallarico versus Paxton.
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: Any feel on that?
• 30:10
  Speaker 6: Yeah, well, you know, Democrats have had their hearts broken
• 30:13
  Speaker 6: in Texas so many times when they think they have
• 30:15
  Speaker 6: a candidate who can win Beto O'Rourke. They thought he
• 30:18
  Speaker 6: was going to be their person. He ended up losing
• 30:19
  Speaker 6: by a lot. And we can list it on and
• 30:21
  Speaker 6: on and on. that a Republican won a statewide office
• 30:26
  Speaker 6: in Texas. You have to go back to Lloyd Benson
• 30:28
  Speaker 6: in 1988. So you can't say this is a slam
• 30:32
  Speaker 6: dunk for Tallarico. I mean, he's been ahead in the
• 30:34
  Speaker 6: polls since Labor Day, right up until today.
• 30:38
  Speaker 12: So if the polls are right, then he wins. But
• 30:41
  Speaker 12: it's awfully close.
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: Alaska, too. Dan Sullivan, that whole nonsense where the Democrats
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: went out there and and asked another Dan Sullivan to
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: run on the independent line. They recruited this guy, you know,
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: this Mary Poltola, whatever her name is. She's clearly a cheater.
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: What do you think happens in Alaska?
• 31:00
  Speaker 12: Well, then you, if she wins, then you talk about, well,
• 31:02
  Speaker 12: will they certify this race?
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: I talked to the governor.
• 31:05
  Speaker 6: Yeah, so then, and he's a Republican. And you have
• 31:08
  Speaker 6: these two Dans, and they truly tried to confuse the
• 31:10
  Speaker 6: voters with two Dan Sullivans. So she, you know, in
• 31:14
  Speaker 6: all the polls she's been leading, So I don't know
• 31:16
  Speaker 6: what happens there. It's going to be interesting. But it
• 31:18
  Speaker 6: looks like she'll win, but maybe not. Maybe people will
• 31:20
  Speaker 6: turn on her for the hijinks and the misinformation ahead
• 31:23
  Speaker 6: of the race.
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: Susan Collins was up the whole way in Maine against
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: Graham Plattner and the new guy, Troy. But the latest
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: poll I saw, she was down by six.
• 31:33
  Speaker 6: Yeah, but don't forget, back in 2020, she was also.
• 31:37
  Speaker 12: They thought she was going to lose, and she pulled
• 31:39
  Speaker 12: out a win.
• 31:40
  Speaker 6: So I would not count her out. She's been able
• 31:43
  Speaker 6: to appeal to both sides, Democrats and Republicans.
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: She's going to win, trust me.
• 31:45
  Speaker 6: She may pull it out.
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: Mauler is on Fox News right now. He'll join me
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: again coming up at 855 this morning. Any other states
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: that we should pay attention to?
• 31:53
  Speaker 6: Let's see if I'm losing.
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: How about this governor race between Byron Donald and David
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: Jolly down in Florida?
• 31:59
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I don't think that's as close.
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: Byron wins easily, right? Yeah, I think so. Yeah, I agree.
• 32:03
  Speaker 12: Oh, there's the Ohio race, right? Sherrod Brown. John Husted,
• 32:08
  Speaker 12: who is.
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: A Houston brother. He's up by.
• 32:12
  Speaker 6: Four or five points.
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: Four or five points.
• 32:14
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah. That's a big race in Ohio.
• 32:16
  Speaker 20: Very big.
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: And then you got the Ramaswamy running for governor.
• 32:20
  Speaker 7: Right.
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: That's a big one.
• 32:21
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 32:21
  Speaker 6: I mean, he may have shot himself in the foot
• 32:23
  Speaker 6: at the end with that commercial about his opponent.
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: Amy Acton.
• 32:27
  Speaker 16: Yeah.
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: I don't know about that. He took it down maybe
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: in time. I don't know. I'm not going to blame
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: the commercial if he loses, but you may be right.
• 32:34
  Speaker 6: Now, if Republicans are having an incredible night, then you'll
• 32:37
  Speaker 6: see other wins in places like Kansas, where Senator Roger
• 32:41
  Speaker 6: Marshall's up for re-election. Democrats haven't won in Kansas in
• 32:45
  Speaker 6: almost 100 years. But that would mean that they're having
• 32:49
  Speaker 6: just this incredible night. So we'll have to watch that
• 32:52
  Speaker 6: as well. There's an open race in New Hampshire, too,
• 32:55
  Speaker 6: where the Republican John Sununu is running.
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: That's a big one.
• 33:02
  Speaker 6: Why am I blanking on the– Yeah, I forgot, too.
• 33:04
  Speaker 6: But that race is really close as well.
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: Iowa's got some tight races, too. Iowa, right? Yeah, yeah.
• 33:10
  Speaker 6: Iowa, the governor's race, the Senate's race. President Trump has
• 33:14
  Speaker 6: spent a lot of time there. So has J.D. Vance
• 33:16
  Speaker 6: over the last couple weeks. So we'll see. And then Georgia.
• 33:19
  Speaker 6: I mean, people think Ossoff is going to win tonight.
• 33:22
  Speaker 6: But again, Republicans poured a lot of money. Maybe they
• 33:25
  Speaker 6: can pull this one off.
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: He's going to win. He made up money for president,
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: that guy. I don't even know. John Ossoff. I don't know.
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: Kentucky is on the card, too, right? That's a big one.
• 33:34
  Speaker 6: What is the Kentucky race?
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: I think the Senate race there. Yeah.
• 33:37
  Speaker 12: I don't think most of these other races are very close.
• 33:39
  Speaker 4: No.
• 33:41
  Speaker 6: I think the ones we covered.
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: Are the ones that people have been watching. Right. So
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: just so you know, guys, I decided this yesterday. I
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: made the mistake, and I mean this. I was in
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: the gym scrolling through my Instagram during one of my
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: two-minute stop sets, and I saw the.
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: The words, and they had the audio, too, coming from
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: the pilot on that airplane, that airplane, that plane that
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: crashed in Florida. And I made the mistake in the
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: gym last night of listening. It was a big mistake.
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: There was no reason for it. It was two minutes
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: of horror. It starts off okay. Hey, we got some turbulence,
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: moderate turbulence, which I doubt, based upon the weather conditions.
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: and the ice, and I'm not a pilot like John
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: Katzmatidis or Greg Kelly, but I'm a smart guy, and
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: I fly all over the world all the time. Based
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: upon those weather conditions and the ice on the wing,
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: my gut is the turbulence was worse than moderate. That's
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: my gut.
• 34:42
  Speaker 19: That's what Greg said yesterday.
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: He did say that?
• 34:44
  Speaker 22: Oh, yeah.
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: He said the turbulence was definitely worse than how it
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: was reported. See, there you go. He's a pilot.
• 34:49
  Speaker 6: I'm not.
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: It was probably worse. But still, the pilot maintained... until
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: about the last minute. Now, you know what's kind of
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: weird is, when the helicopter crashed that killed Kobe Bryant,
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: his daughter, and those people, do you know how many
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: people died on that helicopter that Sunday morning?
• 35:15
  Speaker 11: Nine.
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: And nine people died in this plane crash in West
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: Palm Beach. And while they're focusing on the 20-year-old co-pilot,
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: who was a baby, God rest her soul. She was
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: certified at the age of 17, lived in Boca Raton,
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: not Baltimore I lived. But there were two babies on
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: that flight, two little kids. The guy that owned the plane,
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: I forgot his name, I'm sorry, he looks exactly like
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: Mark Beckman, our friend Mark who works with Melania. Guy's
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: a multi, multi, multi-millionaire. Very big deal in the business
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: community in Austin, Texas. And he had on the plane
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: his wife, lovely lady, and these two little kids. So
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: I'm not going to cover the story today. For what?
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: The plane crashed. In all likelihood, it was because of
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: the weather. There was no terrorist or none of that nonsense.
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: It was the weather. And they never should have flown.
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: And certainly, when those storms started to hit, they should
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: have descended maybe and landed somewhere.
• 36:17
  Speaker 20: I don't know.
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: I'm not a pilot. But I have figured it out.
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: Not being a pilot. But weather cost nine beautiful people
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: their lives. What else is there to say, Noam? Nothing.
• 36:29
  Speaker 12: And, you know, I unfortunately made the mistake also of listening.
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: To the audio.
• 36:34
  Speaker 6: And it reminded me of those phone calls that were
• 36:38
  Speaker 6: made from the Twin Towers.
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: Very good.
• 36:40
  Speaker 24: 9-11.
• 36:40
  Speaker 6: It was the same thing. It was so heart-wrenching to
• 36:43
  Speaker 6: listen to.
• 36:43
  Speaker 25: Terrible.
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: Because she just, at the end, she's like, we're going
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: to hit the ground. We're going to hit the ground.
• 36:47
  Speaker 7: And, um.
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: It's just very, very sad. Just take Delta. Take JetBlue.
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: All these multimillionaires, they got to buy their own planes.
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: No one's impressed. Nobody cares. If that's JetBlue or Delta,
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: that plane doesn't crash. Am I wrong about that? It
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: doesn't crash. Enough with the private planes. Every day, some
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: private plane crashes across the country. You know that, right?
• 37:09
  Speaker 26: Almost every day.
• 37:10
  Speaker 12: It happens often, but it's still the safest way to travel.
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: Not safer than a commuter jet.
• 37:17
  Speaker 6: I don't know about that. I'd have to look.
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: What are you talking about? The Australian airline never crashed
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: once still to this day.
• 37:24
  Speaker 6: No, but there's other plane crashes around the world. We
• 37:27
  Speaker 6: see them.
• 37:27
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: Not like these small planes. They crash almost every day.
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: You don't see it every day. And nine people don't
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: die every day. But I don't feel it's a safe
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: way to fly. I don't. Dating all the way back
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: to Thurman Munson and Kennedy Jr. These are just famous
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: people that died. Buddy Holly. So many famous people. have
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: died in these ridiculous, wealthy plane crashes. Take JetBlue.
• 37:52
  Speaker 19: Well, some of those in the past were.
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: Crappy planes. And bad weather, though. Bad weather. Buddy Holly
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: died because of bad weather.
• 38:00
  Speaker 20: Of course.
• 38:01
  Speaker 6: Listen, John Kennedy Jr.
• 38:04
  Speaker 19: Flew when he shouldn't have flown.
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: Bad weather. Couldn't see. Yeah, and he did not. On
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: the way to Massachusetts, a quick trip. He wasn't trained
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: on the instruments correctly. I think he was pretty much trained, no?
• 38:14
  Speaker 9: No.
• 38:15
  Speaker 19: I think that was the dispute.
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: Okay. Because he did not trust. And he did not
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: know which way was up. Well, I'm not going to
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: cover this story today. It's too heartbreaking for me. I'm sorry.
• 38:27
  Speaker 19: It's terrible.
• 38:28
  Speaker 12: I had this crazy story back in February 3rd, 2006.
• 38:31
  Speaker 6: I was anchoring here at WABC, and I was covering
• 38:34
  Speaker 6: this commuter plane crash of a family that had left
• 38:38
  Speaker 6: New Jersey to go to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. It
• 38:41
  Speaker 6: was also the same thing. Tiny plane crashed on the runway, actually,
• 38:45
  Speaker 6: in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. So all morning long, I'm
• 38:47
  Speaker 6: covering it. And then I come to find out this
• 38:50
  Speaker 6: was a guy that I had grown up with in Trenton.
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: Oh, boy.
• 38:54
  Speaker 6: And he had been a successful dentist. And he was
• 38:56
  Speaker 6: on the plane with his wife, his two young kids.
• 38:58
  Speaker 6: They were eight and six years old. Eight, six, and
• 39:00
  Speaker 6: two years old. And they had their nanny with them.
• 39:03
  Speaker 6: Very similar to what happened in this plane. They had
• 39:05
  Speaker 6: their nanny with them over the weekend as well.
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, she died.
• 39:09
  Speaker 6: And it just, it was, oh, I can't even tell
• 39:10
  Speaker 6: you how horrific it was. The whole family felt like that.
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: When my cousin ran for Senate and won, Norm Coleman
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: in Minnesota, he was running against a guy named Paul Wellstone.
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: And I believe it was a helicopter, not a plane,
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: but they were on their way to some campaign stop. Paul,
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: his wife, and children. and they all died in a
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: crash so they actually installed walter walter mondale in minnesota
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: because they had to have a candidate to run against
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: my cousin but the whole wellstone family died you remember
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: many many years ago when President Trump was in the
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: casino business in New Jersey, all of his top guys,
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: they all died on the Garden State, including Mitchell Grossinger,
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: who we got to know, what did he call himself
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: after that? From Mohegan Sun, Mitch, oh, come on, he
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: was one of our best friends. Mitchell Lettuce. His brother
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: died in that crash.
• 40:03
  Speaker 19: Yes, that's right.
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: His brother. So I see these things all the time.
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: I don't get it. But at any rate, that's the
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: coverage I'll provide this morning. God rest the soul of
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: all these nine innocent, beautiful people who should be in
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: the Bahamas today, and instead they're planning funerals. It's just terrible.
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: All right, we're going to wrap this first segment up.

  Speaker 1: down to the wire last time, nearly beat him. And
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: now in his second attempt, I think he beats him
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: in New York three. So the question for Mike LaPetrie
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: is this morning, are you voting this morning? What does
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: your day look like, my friend?
• 42:52
  Speaker 9: Good morning, Sid.
• 42:53
  Speaker 4: We have interviews all morning to make sure we take
• 42:56
  Speaker 4: out Tom Swazi. who sells us out so he can
• 42:59
  Speaker 4: continue making millions of dollars trading stocks while in Congress.
• 43:03
  Speaker 4: We show the people what it's all about, the next
• 43:05
  Speaker 4: generation common sense Republican. Tom Suozzi voted no to the
• 43:10
  Speaker 4: largest tax cut in American history. He voted no to
• 43:13
  Speaker 4: lifting the SALT tax cap to $ 40, 000. He voted no, said, listen,
• 43:17
  Speaker 4: to rejecting socialism and the DSA. So this guy will
• 43:22
  Speaker 4: do and say whatever Democrat leadership wants, which means he's
• 43:25
  Speaker 4: putting the people like AOC, Zoran Mandani, Al-Said, and all
• 43:30
  Speaker 4: these anti-Semites and radical leftists. If you vote for my opponent,
• 43:33
  Speaker 4: Tom Suozzi, then you're putting these leftists in the majority.
• 43:36
  Speaker 4: And that's why we need people to come out today
• 43:39
  Speaker 4: and vote Republican Mike Lepetri for United States Congress.
• 43:42
  Speaker 1: All right, Mike, good luck today. New York 3. Mike,
• 43:45
  Speaker 1: I think you're terrific. I really do. And I think
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: you're going to win today. So excellent campaign. This was obvious.
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: and predictable. We've got voting issues, poll issues. I believe
• 43:56
  Speaker 1: in Westchester. Let's go to our man on the job,
• 43:59
  Speaker 1: the great Noam Layton. Noam, what are you hearing?
• 44:01
  Speaker 6: Yes, so there's voting machines at a bunch of polling
• 44:03
  Speaker 6: locations in Westchester County just not working at this hour.
• 44:07
  Speaker 6: So they're using these orange bags where they're handing out
• 44:10
  Speaker 6: these ballots where people can vote. And so we've seen
• 44:13
  Speaker 6: in a number of places, the library in Montrose, they're
• 44:16
  Speaker 6: having issues. In Yonkers, they're having problems right now. And
• 44:20
  Speaker 6: so they're trying to figure out exactly what's going on
• 44:22
  Speaker 6: at Ridgeway Elementary. Apparently there's a problem as well, and
• 44:25
  Speaker 6: that's causing a lot of confusion among the voters who
• 44:27
  Speaker 6: show up early because the polls have been open since
• 44:30
  Speaker 6: 6 a.m. this morning. So we'll follow the story, but
• 44:34
  Speaker 6: what this will mean likely is there'll be a result
• 44:37
  Speaker 6: in the counting of the votes a little later tonight
• 44:40
  Speaker 6: because now we're an hour in already and these machines
• 44:42
  Speaker 6: aren't working.
• 44:42
  Speaker 9: Gotcha.
• 44:43
  Speaker 1: This is not Lawler territory, is it?
• 44:45
  Speaker 6: Well, part of Westchester is Lawler territory. Right.
• 44:50
  Speaker 1: Okay, well, we'll keep you updated. Norm, I need you
• 44:52
  Speaker 1: on the air all day today, okay? None of this
• 44:54
  Speaker 1: nonsense where you disappear and what's his name? Mike Wallace.
• 44:57
  Speaker 1: I need you, okay? No problem. All right. Let me
• 44:59
  Speaker 1: get to this next gentleman who I like a lot.
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: He was in here when he ran for mayor. Now
• 45:03
  Speaker 1: he's running for comptroller. He's a successful businessman. He's a
• 45:07
  Speaker 1: real smart guy. And I like Tom. I don't, you know,
• 45:11
  Speaker 1: a lot of these candidates I hate. I'm being honest, okay?
• 45:13
  Speaker 1: I hate Kathy Hochul. I hate her. With a passion.
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: I hate her like I hate El Sayed, Letitia James,
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: like I hate Biden and Harris. I don't hate Tom.
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: But I really love Joe Hernandez. And we've got issues
• 45:26
  Speaker 1: in this state. Massive, massive fraud issues under Tom. You
• 45:32
  Speaker 1: may like him. Nice guy. Seems to get bipartisan support,
• 45:35
  Speaker 1: Tom DiNapoli. But we've got real issues under Tom. It's
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: not a joke. Millions and billions of dollars in fraud.
• 45:44
  Speaker 1: And the guy that can fix it? He's Joseph Hernandez.
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: Good morning, Joseph.
• 45:47
  Speaker 23: Good morning, buddy. Good to see you.
• 45:48
  Speaker 1: You too. I know you're getting that. You know, these
• 45:50
  Speaker 1: other candidates, they love one, they hate the other. Everybody
• 45:53
  Speaker 1: kind of likes both you guys. But the truth is,
• 45:56
  Speaker 1: we've got big issues in this state.
• 45:58
  Speaker 23: Yeah, listen, Tom is a nice guy. You know, I've
• 46:00
  Speaker 23: been critical of his policies, not of him as an individual.
• 46:03
  Speaker 23: And everybody does say that he's a very nice guy.
• 46:06
  Speaker 23: But look, this role is not supposed to be a
• 46:08
  Speaker 23: nice guy. And you're supposed to shout at people and
• 46:10
  Speaker 23: say you're stealing money from taxpayers. What the hell are
• 46:13
  Speaker 23: you doing? And you've got to get on tables and
• 46:16
  Speaker 23: shout at people and say, you know, you're committing fraud.
• 46:19
  Speaker 23: This is dishonest. And you're going to make enemies when
• 46:22
  Speaker 23: you do that. And Tom doesn't have any enemies because
• 46:24
  Speaker 23: he hasn't done that. And I think that that's been part.
• 46:26
  Speaker 1: Of the problem. He's complicit. He's complicit in what's going
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: on here. That's terrible.
• 46:30
  Speaker 23: I mean, I'll give you a perfect example. You know,
• 46:31
  Speaker 23: the whole Letitia James legal defense fund, the $ 10 million
• 46:35
  Speaker 23: that was slid into the budget. You know, if you
• 46:37
  Speaker 23: were an honest broker, you'd be like, look, I don't
• 46:39
  Speaker 23: care who it is. I don't care if it's my grandma.
• 46:42
  Speaker 23: You don't do that. That is unethical. That is wrong.
• 46:45
  Speaker 23: And that is not in the best interest of taxpayers.
• 46:47
  Speaker 23: And Tom allowed that to happen. As a matter of fact,
• 46:49
  Speaker 23: he paid Letitia's game about $ 1 million of legal defense.
• 46:52
  Speaker 23: That is unethical and wrong. And he did that not
• 46:56
  Speaker 23: to upset people. And you can't do that. That's not
• 46:59
  Speaker 23: the role.
• 46:59
  Speaker 7: No.
• 46:59
  Speaker 1: And correct me if I'm wrong, but you're in charge.
• 47:02
  Speaker 1: When you win Joe Hernandez today, you're going to be
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: in charge of like 370. What's the word? Is it
• 47:08
  Speaker 1: a million or a billion?
• 47:09
  Speaker 23: $ 310 billion.
• 47:10
  Speaker 1: $ 310 billion you're responsible for.
• 47:13
  Speaker 23: It's a humongous responsibility. And that money doesn't belong to
• 47:17
  Speaker 23: anybody but the pensioners. This is money that belongs to
• 47:20
  Speaker 23: people that gave their lives to the state, people who
• 47:22
  Speaker 23: gave up holidays and missed kids' birthdays to work for us.
• 47:27
  Speaker 23: And we owe them a solemn promise, a solemn obligation
• 47:30
  Speaker 23: to take care of that money, make sure they have
• 47:31
  Speaker 23: enough money to retire in peace and safety, and we're
• 47:34
  Speaker 23: going to do that.
• 47:34
  Speaker 1: So is that really the biggest job? I think people
• 47:37
  Speaker 1: don't necessarily understand that. You know, you got a state
• 47:40
  Speaker 1: comptroller that was Brad Lander, bad, bad guy. He's probably
• 47:43
  Speaker 1: going to win today, that dick. And then you've got
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: the other guy who's also an idiot and asshole, the
• 47:47
  Speaker 1: former Manhattan Borough President Mark Levine. This is on a
• 47:50
  Speaker 1: state level, but the exact job that you would take
• 47:54
  Speaker 1: when you win this today is what? What does the
• 47:57
  Speaker 1: comptroller do?
• 47:58
  Speaker 23: Well, listen, I agree with you on Brad. Mark Levine
• 48:00
  Speaker 23: is actually a smart guy, so I give him a
• 48:01
  Speaker 23: little bit of a pass.
• 48:02
  Speaker 1: He wanted to bury bodies in Riverside Park. He's telling
• 48:05
  Speaker 1: people not to invest in Israeli bonds. That's not a
• 48:08
  Speaker 1: smart guy. Yeah, I know.
• 48:08
  Speaker 23: He capitulated on Israeli bonds. I lost all respect over
• 48:11
  Speaker 23: that one. But anyway, listen, I think the role itself
• 48:15
  Speaker 23: has two primary functions. One is to manage this fund,
• 48:17
  Speaker 23: which is one of the largest pools of capital in
• 48:19
  Speaker 23: the world. And the other one is to audit and
• 48:22
  Speaker 23: really to hold government accountable and to issue bonds, issue debt.
• 48:25
  Speaker 23: I mean, that's part of what the comptroller does. Tom
• 48:28
  Speaker 23: hasn't really done a good job at auditing. I mean,
• 48:31
  Speaker 23: he audits school bus schedules, but he doesn't audit Medicaid
• 48:34
  Speaker 23: where we have probably $ 18 billion worth of fraud. So
• 48:37
  Speaker 23: I think, look, he doesn't like to point out the
• 48:40
  Speaker 23: real obvious frauds because I think his friends are in
• 48:43
  Speaker 23: that world.
• 48:44
  Speaker 11: Yeah.
• 48:45
  Speaker 23: And that's the problem.
• 48:45
  Speaker 1: People making money. Do you work, have you talked to,
• 48:48
  Speaker 1: I should say, you don't work with them yet, but
• 48:50
  Speaker 1: Have you had conversations with Dr. Oz? He's on this show.
• 48:52
  Speaker 23: Quite a bit.
• 48:54
  Speaker 1: He's uncovered a whole bunch of Medicare and Medicaid boards.
• 48:56
  Speaker 1: He says all these places in Flushing by Shea Stadium,
• 49:00
  Speaker 1: they're basically Chinese criminal homes.
• 49:02
  Speaker 23: Oh, as a matter of fact, I shared my model
• 49:04
  Speaker 23: with him. We did what is called a heat map
• 49:06
  Speaker 23: model around Flushings when he was, in fact, looking at Flushing.
• 49:09
  Speaker 23: So we've collaborated.
• 49:11
  Speaker 1: We've interacted. Dr.
• 49:13
  Speaker 23: Oz is one of the smartest guys there. And he
• 49:15
  Speaker 23: knows he's really following up on the fraud. He's doing
• 49:17
  Speaker 23: a good job. And we need to give him more credit.
• 49:20
  Speaker 23: We need to give him more visibility, to be quite honest.
• 49:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he's doing that whole office, him, Robert Kennedy Jr.,
• 49:25
  Speaker 1: and even Mike Tyson, believe it or not. That's from
• 49:28
  Speaker 1: the health standpoint, not the fraud standpoint. So what does
• 49:31
  Speaker 1: your day look like today, Joseph? Have you voted yet?
• 49:33
  Speaker 23: Yes, we did early voting. We did early voting a
• 49:36
  Speaker 23: couple of days ago just to get out of the way.
• 49:37
  Speaker 23: You know, the lines and machines, as you heard this morning,
• 49:40
  Speaker 23: it sounds like the machines are having problems. So no,
• 49:43
  Speaker 23: we voted early. I voted down the ticket, of course,
• 49:45
  Speaker 23: because that's the only common sense thing to do because
• 49:49
  Speaker 23: we have a bunch of idiots running our government that
• 49:51
  Speaker 23: are driving us into bankruptcy, and we need to change
• 49:54
  Speaker 23: the trajectory of this city and this country. And the state,
• 49:58
  Speaker 23: I would argue. And look, I've been running around with
• 50:01
  Speaker 23: Bruce Blakeman. And I got to tell you, I love
• 50:03
  Speaker 23: that man. He is really, I would say, one of
• 50:06
  Speaker 23: those guys that's one of the generation leader. He's just
• 50:09
  Speaker 23: a great guy. Humble, smart, logical. Nothing not to like
• 50:13
  Speaker 23: about him. He's so likable, man. And you know, a
• 50:16
  Speaker 23: guy like that makes you work harder. So our campaigns
• 50:18
  Speaker 23: worked harder because we want to really win. We want
• 50:20
  Speaker 23: this ticket to win. We think we need change in Albany.
• 50:22
  Speaker 23: We think it's very important. They change the trajectory of
• 50:25
  Speaker 23: the state because it is in a very bad trajectory.
• 50:27
  Speaker 1: Very bad. The state's in terrible shape. One more for you.
• 50:31
  Speaker 1: I love to watch you speak at events because we
• 50:35
  Speaker 1: have a big issue in this city, in this state,
• 50:37
  Speaker 1: and not just here, but other sanctuary states, and that
• 50:40
  Speaker 1: is communism. Communism, socialism, Marxism, whatever you want to call it,
• 50:45
  Speaker 1: I don't care. But you, growing up as a little
• 50:47
  Speaker 1: kid in Cuba, and your family from Cuba, You know
• 50:50
  Speaker 1: all about communism. You know the dangers that this Mamdani
• 50:55
  Speaker 1: brings to the city every day. And for our governor
• 50:58
  Speaker 1: to be out there endorsing him, I think that happily, too.
• 51:00
  Speaker 1: You know the dangers of communism, right? Yeah.
• 51:03
  Speaker 23: Listen, Sid, you know how you hate all these guys?
• 51:05
  Speaker 23: I hate communists with a freaking passion. And the reason
• 51:08
  Speaker 23: I hate them is I know how horrible they are.
• 51:10
  Speaker 23: They're not good people. I lived in that stuff. You know,
• 51:13
  Speaker 23: I remember standing in line waiting for food. You know,
• 51:15
  Speaker 23: while the local communist guy had all the food. You know,
• 51:18
  Speaker 23: that crap really does happen.
• 51:19
  Speaker 1: Fidel Castro, he was living fine, right?
• 51:22
  Speaker 23: They discovered he had $ 8 billion hidden in foreign bank accounts.
• 51:25
  Speaker 1: Disgusting.
• 51:27
  Speaker 23: So, yeah, no, I hate communism. I hate communists. I
• 51:30
  Speaker 23: think the trajectory of this city is very dangerous. I
• 51:32
  Speaker 23: think the trajectory of America is very dangerous. So this
• 51:35
  Speaker 23: is why we have to fight these crazy communists, and
• 51:37
  Speaker 23: we have to bring the common sense back to government.
• 51:41
  Speaker 23: And the ideals that made America the most amazing country ever,
• 51:44
  Speaker 23: in the last couple thousand years. I mean, this is
• 51:46
  Speaker 23: a very amazing society, and we have to protect it.
• 51:49
  Speaker 23: And it requires patriots like you and me to do that.
• 51:52
  Speaker 23: So let's fight.
• 51:53
  Speaker 1: Let's fight. Go out there today and vote for Joseph Fernandez.
• 51:56
  Speaker 1: And he did this so well by hiring Therese Jopper here.
• 51:59
  Speaker 19: She does look great.
• 52:00
  Speaker 1: She's a cute kid. She works her ass off. She
• 52:03
  Speaker 1: loves you.
• 52:03
  Speaker 20: All right.
• 52:04
  Speaker 23: I was going to say, can I say something real quick?
• 52:05
  Speaker 7: Sure.
• 52:06
  Speaker 23: I love my young patriots. You know, Therese and my
• 52:08
  Speaker 23: campaign manager, they're under 20s. They're under 25, they're young kids,
• 52:12
  Speaker 23: but they love America, and that shit motivates me so much.
• 52:15
  Speaker 23: So yes, they're great, and we have a lot of
• 52:17
  Speaker 23: young patriots we've got to continue to fight for.
• 52:19
  Speaker 1: Agreed. What does the rest of your day look like now?
• 52:22
  Speaker 23: We're swamped. We have a bunch of interviews, we're going
• 52:24
  Speaker 23: to go do some poll visiting.
• 52:25
  Speaker 1: It's all downhill from here, just so you know.
• 52:26
  Speaker 23: Yeah, yeah, now listen, the vote is casted. I hope
• 52:30
  Speaker 23: I made my case for the people of New York
• 52:32
  Speaker 23: that I'm the best person for the role, and that
• 52:35
  Speaker 23: we need change, and now we're just going to go
• 52:37
  Speaker 23: and shake hands and say thank you for your support,
• 52:38
  Speaker 23: and And hope that people come out and give me
• 52:41
  Speaker 23: the opportunity to serve this great state.
• 52:42
  Speaker 1: God bless you, Joseph Hernandez. I think you're awesome. And
• 52:45
  Speaker 1: I am rooting for you in a big, big, big, big,
• 52:47
  Speaker 1: big way today.
• 52:47
  Speaker 23: Thank you, sir. God bless you.
• 52:48
  Speaker 1: Thank you for what you do.
• 52:49
  Speaker 23: You're amazing.
• 52:50
  Speaker 1: You got it. We actually, one of my earliest events
• 52:53
  Speaker 1: I hosted. Earlier this summer was yours with Therese over
• 52:57
  Speaker 1: at Dorian's.
• 52:59
  Speaker 24: Dorian's, yeah.
• 52:59
  Speaker 1: You did a good job, yeah. Joseph Hernandez.
• 53:02
  Speaker 9: Thank you, buddy.
• 53:02
  Speaker 1: You got it. Go vote for Joseph Hernandez for Comptroller today.
• 53:06
  Speaker 1: What a great guy. Smart guy. Great guy. Loves his country.
• 53:09
  Speaker 1: Knows what it's like to be under communist rule. Doesn't
• 53:12
  Speaker 1: want that here for us. Vote for Joseph Hernandez today.
• 53:15
  Speaker 1: We'll take a break. Still lots more to do. Sid
• 53:17
  Speaker 1: and Friends.
• 53:19
  Speaker 2: In the Morning on the Red Apple Podcast Network.
• 53:23
  Speaker 1: All right, I already got credit. It looks like Scott Singer,
• 53:25
  Speaker 1: a former mayor of Boca Raton, may beat Jared Moskowitz.
• 53:29
  Speaker 1: I had him on twice. He says, if I win, Sid,
• 53:32
  Speaker 1: you get the credit, even down in South Florida. But
• 53:35
  Speaker 1: my favorite congressperson, everybody knows this, out of the 6th District,
• 53:38
  Speaker 1: is the Hebrew Hammer, the great Randy Fine. Randy had
• 53:42
  Speaker 1: a very, very ugly primary race against a Jew hater
• 53:46
  Speaker 1: named Dan Bilzerian. Randy kicked his ass. That's why he's
• 53:50
  Speaker 1: the Hebrew Hammer. He's going to win again today. Let's
• 53:53
  Speaker 1: go to Florida. Randy Fine, good morning, buddy. How are you?
• 53:55
  Speaker 1: I'm doing great, Sid.
• 53:56
  Speaker 20: How are you?
• 53:57
  Speaker 11: Ready to get people out and vote today.
• 53:58
  Speaker 1: So how does it look? I mean, I would imagine
• 54:00
  Speaker 1: you got past Dan in the primary, that you're an
• 54:02
  Speaker 1: overwhelming favorite. Today, I know you all say the same thing.
• 54:05
  Speaker 1: We don't take it for granted. You got to play
• 54:07
  Speaker 1: the game. But how do you feel on this election
• 54:09
  Speaker 1: day morning?
• 54:10
  Speaker 11: Well, look, I feel great. In my race, 19% more.
• 54:13
  Speaker 11: Republicans have voted than Democrats already. That's a 10-point swing
• 54:18
  Speaker 11: in a positive direction from when I was when I
• 54:20
  Speaker 11: ran in my special election 18 months ago. So we
• 54:23
  Speaker 11: feel really good, but we're focused still on turning out voters,
• 54:26
  Speaker 11: making sure we win and win big, and making sure
• 54:29
  Speaker 11: people all across Florida, including Byron Donalds and Ashley Moody,
• 54:33
  Speaker 11: have big wins today.
• 54:34
  Speaker 1: How do you feel about those two races, specifically Byron
• 54:37
  Speaker 1: and Ashley?
• 54:37
  Speaker 11: I feel good, but it all comes down to turnout today. Statewide,
• 54:41
  Speaker 11: 50% of Democrats have voted in Florida compared to only
• 54:44
  Speaker 11: 40% of Republicans. Now, our people like to vote on
• 54:48
  Speaker 11: Election Day, and we need to make sure they do that.
• 54:50
  Speaker 11: So polls are open, and people need to get in
• 54:53
  Speaker 11: their car. But they need to drive to their assigned
• 54:57
  Speaker 11: polling station and they need to cast their vote.
• 54:59
  Speaker 1: Love it. On the way out, Randy, a much different
• 55:01
  Speaker 1: state where you are than where I am. This is
• 55:03
  Speaker 1: a terrible place. Terrible place. And you guys, that state
• 55:07
  Speaker 1: runs perfectly. I know DeSantis, again, on his way out
• 55:10
  Speaker 1: will be Byron Donalds. How do you feel, though? You know,
• 55:13
  Speaker 1: give me an honest answer, OK? Not what you want
• 55:15
  Speaker 1: to see. Will you guys retain the House?
• 55:18
  Speaker 20: I don't know.
• 55:19
  Speaker 11: I mean, I don't think if we lose it, it
• 55:21
  Speaker 11: will be because of Florida. And I think it all
• 55:23
  Speaker 11: comes down to turnout today. Remember, when Donald Trump won
• 55:27
  Speaker 11: in 2016, they were measuring the drapes for Hillary Clinton.
• 55:30
  Speaker 11: You don't know the results until you count the votes
• 55:32
  Speaker 11: at the end of the day. And so I just
• 55:35
  Speaker 11: want to make sure people get out and vote. The
• 55:36
  Speaker 11: time for talking is over. The time for voting is now.
• 55:40
  Speaker 11: And by the way, in Florida, we don't call you
• 55:42
  Speaker 11: guys New Yorkers anymore. We just call you pre-Floridians. So,
• 55:48
  Speaker 11: you know, we're looking forward to having you all down here.
• 55:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'll be back. You know, I'll be back, Randy.
• 55:52
  Speaker 1: I'll be your neighbor probably. We'll go to, you know, some,
• 55:54
  Speaker 1: we'll get late early dinners together when we're really old
• 55:58
  Speaker 1: and go to shul and have a good time together.
• 56:00
  Speaker 1: I will be back. At any rate, Randy Fine, good
• 56:02
  Speaker 1: luck this morning today. I'm sure you're going to win,
• 56:05
  Speaker 1: but let's get those votes in. You've heard from Mike Lepetri.
• 56:10
  Speaker 1: running for Congress out in Long Island. We had Joseph
• 56:12
  Speaker 1: Hernandez already live in studio. He's running for Comptroller. They
• 56:16
  Speaker 1: all say the same thing. We got to vote. If
• 56:18
  Speaker 1: we have any real designs on winning, we got to vote.
• 56:22
  Speaker 1: I told you this yesterday. We're outnumbered in this state.
• 56:24
  Speaker 1: You know, this idea that the Democrats cheat every race,
• 56:27
  Speaker 1: it's dumb. So say that for your friends, you know.
• 56:31
  Speaker 1: I'm not into conspiracy theories. I'm not into cheating every time.
• 56:34
  Speaker 1: They don't need to cheat. Again, they got a three-to-one margin.
• 56:39
  Speaker 1: Four to one in places. Five to one in places.
• 56:42
  Speaker 1: You don't need to cheat every time. If anybody should
• 56:44
  Speaker 1: be cheating, it should be us. But the very least
• 56:48
  Speaker 1: we can do is show up. How do you expect
• 56:51
  Speaker 1: to win when you're outnumbered three to one and you
• 56:54
  Speaker 1: don't even vote? No, I don't vote because they cheat
• 56:57
  Speaker 1: and we can't win. I mean, you sound like an
• 56:58
  Speaker 1: effing moron. You really do. I hear that I want
• 57:01
  Speaker 1: to strangle you. I do. I can't stand it. Enough
• 57:05
  Speaker 1: with the cheating. They don't win every race because they cheat.
• 57:08
  Speaker 1: They win a lot of races because they outnumber us.
• 57:11
  Speaker 1: We have the better candidate sometimes. Sometimes our candidates are pathetic.
• 57:15
  Speaker 1: That's a whole other issue. I was telling Joe Hernandez
• 57:18
  Speaker 1: this morning, if we take a beating in New York, okay,
• 57:22
  Speaker 1: and I know that Danielle would kill me if I ran.
• 57:24
  Speaker 1: I know that. It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. If
• 57:26
  Speaker 1: we take a beating in New York, And I'm Tony Nunziata,
• 57:30
  Speaker 1: who runs a GOP here, or Ed Cox. I'm calling
• 57:34
  Speaker 1: Sid Rosenberg 20 times a day. I'm taking Sid to
• 57:38
  Speaker 1: whatever restaurant he wants. Could I win here? Probably not.
• 57:42
  Speaker 1: I hate Democrats. I'm not even nice about it. I'm
• 57:44
  Speaker 1: not bipartisan. I'm not down the middle like Blakeman or Lawler.
• 57:47
  Speaker 1: But so what? So what? At the very least, I'll re-energize.
• 57:53
  Speaker 1: But I feel like in New York... is a pretty
• 57:55
  Speaker 1: lackluster base. Lackluster. At the very least, I'll do that.
• 58:00
  Speaker 1: Don't you guys want to see me debate one of
• 58:02
  Speaker 1: these idiots on the other side, win or lose? So
• 58:06
  Speaker 1: if I'm in power with the GOP in New York
• 58:08
  Speaker 1: and we get clobbered today, they should be calling me
• 58:12
  Speaker 1: every second. But it's not about me today. Even though
• 58:14
  Speaker 1: it's about me every day. It's about getting out there
• 58:18
  Speaker 1: and voting for our candidates. starting with Bruce Blakeman, but
• 58:22
  Speaker 1: right down the line, Hernandez, Comitoretti, these Long Island Congress hopefuls, LaPetri,
• 58:31
  Speaker 1: and Janine Driscoll. I think the loader will win in
• 58:34
  Speaker 1: Suffolk County, but him too. Judges, got to get some
• 58:39
  Speaker 1: Republican judges out there. So whatever you're doing today, if
• 58:43
  Speaker 1: you have not voted and you're a Republican, you're no
• 58:47
  Speaker 1: good if you don't vote today. You're no good. Democrats,
• 58:50
  Speaker 1: I don't care what you do, to be honest. I
• 58:51
  Speaker 1: can't stand you. But if you're a Republican and you
• 58:54
  Speaker 1: don't vote, shame on you. Oh, we got more guests
• 58:57
  Speaker 1: to come. Bo's got to be quick today. He can't
• 58:59
  Speaker 1: give me the old, only two more, one more, one more.
• 59:02
  Speaker 1: He's got to be quick. Got like nine people coming
• 59:04
  Speaker 1: on today. I love Bo. I got one more, two more,
• 59:08
  Speaker 1: one more. Okay, another thing about the assembly. You know
• 59:13
  Speaker 1: that Bo is easily... easily one of our most popular guests. Oh,
• 59:19
  Speaker 1: he's amazing. They love him. I love him. No one
• 59:22
  Speaker 1: comes on with more passion than Bo, but he's got
• 59:24
  Speaker 1: to be quick today. Brian Kilmeade is coming on, Hank Sheinkopf,
• 59:28
  Speaker 1: Mike Lawler. We're going to hear from about 10 other candidates.
• 59:31
  Speaker 1: We've got a lot to do. We'll take a quick break.
• 59:34
  Speaker 2: Sid and Friends in the Morning on the Red Apple
• 59:38
  Speaker 2: Podcast Network.
• 59:40
  Speaker 1: One of my great memories in D.C. years ago was
• 59:43
  Speaker 1: at Capitol Grill. Everybody was there. Lawler, D'Esposito, he was
• 59:47
  Speaker 1: still in Congress. Molly Otakis, Nancy Mace, me and my
• 59:51
  Speaker 1: beautiful wife, Danielle. And we're sitting there. This was the
• 59:54
  Speaker 1: night before the State of the Union where they physically
• 59:57
  Speaker 1: ejected me. We're sitting next to Nick Lolota, the great
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 1: congressman out of Suffolk County. And everything that Nick ate
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 1: that night ended up on his shirt. And I said,
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 1: I love this guy, this guy. And he's a terrific
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 1: guy and an amazing congressman. First district in Suffolk County.
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 1: He's running today. Nick Lolota, how do you feel on
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 1: this Tuesday election day morning? You know what, Sid?
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 28: You're lucky this is an in-person interview. You know, a
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 28: lot of great things to talk about in this country,
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 28: about what we're doing national security-wise, taxes, the border. And
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 28: you come at me with that first, Sid.
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 28: I look forward to the next in-person interview, my friend.
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 1: Be careful what you wish for, Nick. I'm not a
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 1: small guy, okay? On a serious note, I do love you.
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 1: You're doing great work out there in Suffolk County. Why
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 1: do you think you're going to win today?
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 28: Because common sense should prevail over crazy, said Rosenberg. The
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 28: things that our party and I stand for about cutting
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 28: taxes for middle-class families. securing our border, being strong overseas,
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 28: no men and women sports, voter ID, not having the citizens,
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 28: not having the non-citizens vote in our elections. These are
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 28: common sense things. These are all 80-20 issues. And the
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 28: other side is off of the rails with their Mondami, Hochul,
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 28: Bernie Sanders, El-Said-like policies. I think Long Islanders get that contrast.
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 28: The city borderline is not too far from us here
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 28: in Suffolk County. And my constituents have gotten that election
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 28: after election these past few cycles, and I expect we'll
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 28: get it right again today, Sid.
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 1: I agree with you. You're one of our most coveted
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 1: and best Congress members in the country. Nick LaLotta, nothing
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 1: but success today, and keep doing the great job you
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 1: do in Congress every day for the last couple of years.
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 1: Thank you so much. My colleague here, he follows me
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 1: each and every weekday morning, does a bang-up job at
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 1: 10 o'clock. I used to bring on Friday because that's
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 1: close to his TV show. It's the end of the week.
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 1: But on Election Day, this huge Tuesday morning, how can
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 1: I not bring on one of the most knowledgeable people
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 1: in the country? Local politics, national politics, international politics. I
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 1: think Brian Kilmeade is right there at the very top
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 1: of the list. So with that said, good Election Day morning, Brian.
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 19: I'd rather talk about the Giants.
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, me too. Enough of this election. Come on. They
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 1: were off a week.
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 19: We have the only thing we have to look forward to.
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 19: Even the Knicks aren't playing well. Let's talk the Giants.
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 1: I mean, the Knicks did beat the Nets last night.
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 1: They won three out of four. But you're right. The
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 1: Giants sold possession of first place. And they're talking about
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 1: getting Jonathan Taylor from the Colts. And everybody else keeps
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 1: losing inside that division. It's like baseball. Yeah. They're just
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 1: tearing it down.
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 19: Oh, we can't win it all? Let's tear it down.
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 19: What's going on?
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know. But the Giants can
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 1: win it all. I don't know how long J.J. McCarthy
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 1: is going to keep playing this well. They become a
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 1: very exciting team to watch. What a great job by
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 1: John Harbaugh. But on a serious note, let's get to
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 1: the big day ahead of us. And I'm going to
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 1: ask you to make predictions here. I don't want to
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 1: hear what you want to see happen. I know what
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 1: you want to see happen. I want the Brian Kilmeade predictions.
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 1: But I want to start outside of New York. Haley
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 1: Stevens endorsing Mike Rogers a couple of days ago. Does
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 1: that affect the race? I don't really think so. But
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 1: does that affect the race? And will that be enough
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 1: to get Mike Rogers to beat Abdul El-Sayed? Well, put
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 1: it this way.
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 19: We just have to throw out all the polls. I mean,
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 19: after this, this is one thing we've got to promise, Sid.
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 19: When we talk next week or later in the week,
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 19: we've got to see what polls actually are accurate or not. Because,
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 19: you know, this is so significant because I think a
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 19: lot of people get discouraged. If you saw that poll
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 19: on Sunday night, No Republicans within shouting distance of winning.
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 19: Even Susan Collins was down five points in the New
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 19: York Times poll. I'm sitting there going, my jaw was
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 19: on the ground. I was doing my show live and
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 19: I said, this came across about four o'clock. And I said,
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 19: what is going on here? How does this happen? How
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 19: does it four or five point? Tallarico up four or
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 19: five points. Rogers was down five or six points. So
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 19: if that's the case, No, it's not going to do anything.
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 19: But if it is two points, it's different. I think
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 19: it will. And here's why. There's a lot of people
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 19: that just flat out rejected Abdul El-Sayed. They just flat
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 19: out rejected him. It wasn't like, oh, you know, it
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 19: was close, but just jump on the other side. You know,
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 19: like we see here when you have tough, like it
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 19: was Stefanik against Bruce Blakeman. You know, whatever happens happens.
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 19: So either side would support the other one. No doubt
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 19: about it. But this was insane because she got almost
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 19: all the black vote. He got none of it. He
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 19: got all the college vote. She got none of it.
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 19: And then she gets the union vote because she's not
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 19: for Medicare for all. He got none of it because
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 19: they don't want this crappy Medicare for all stuff. They
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 19: negotiate for fantastic benefits. You know, all the union workers
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 19: listening to us right now, they give up some salary
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 19: for benefits. They're not going to throw it away for
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 19: Medicare for all. So she loses that. Okay, got it.
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 19: The Jewish vote.
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 1: She gets it.
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 19: He gets none of it. So now she says, okay,
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 19: I'll endorse you, but just reject that ad that blames
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 19: Jews for the price of oil, gas.
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 1: And food.
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 19: And she's like, well, whatever.
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 1: You know, not me.
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 24: Really?
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 19: Not me. And don't show up. I don't need you.
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 19: So Sid, come on. Why would she endorse him? She
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 19: didn't want to endorse him anyway because he's anti-Semitic. He's anti-Israel.
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 19: So this is a bigger story. This is the story
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 19: of the Democratic Party. She is actually doing the best
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 19: thing possible for Democrats. She's saying, this is not a
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 19: party I can support. This person is much like the
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 19: person like Plattner in... New Hampshire, and this new guy,
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 19: Troy Jackson in, excuse me, in Maine. This is much
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 19: like the mayor of Los Angeles. This is like the
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 19: mayor of New York city. This is a, the, the,
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 19: and Della Risa Chevalier, uh, and Marot, uh, and, and, uh,
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 19: the Colorado and Christopher Rabb in Pennsylvania. This is what's happening.
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 19: She's saying, look, I'm not going to support this. In fact,
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 19: I'll jump for the other guy. I'll stand Democratic Party.
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 19: I'll jump for the other guy. I think it's going
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 19: to be if it's a two point race. I think
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 19: it makes a difference. But if it is really seven points,
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 19: it won't. But more importantly, you can continue to vilify her,
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 19: kick her out of the party, not let her into
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 19: committees and say she's a bad guy. But she's actually
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 19: doing the work for Hakeem Jeffries because Jeffries, if he's
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 19: got if he wins the House and has a small margin,
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 19: this is his fight. Only he is too afraid to
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 19: do it. This woman from Michigan has more guts than
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 19: Schumer and Carville and everybody else combined. And Anderson Cooper,
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 19: who might as well be a Democrat, the way he
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 19: treated her on Sunday night. So I think she is
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 19: doing great work for the party that Manchin's trying to
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 19: do from the outside.
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 1: I agree with you. She should just switch parties anyway.
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 1: Her and John Fetterman should become Republicans. I think a
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 1: choice is kind of easy, right, when you consider the
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 1: fact that her fiancé, how about this, Haley Stevens' fiancé,
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 1: happens to be Jewish. Now, here's the thing. In terms
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 1: of Abdul El-Sayed, does the Haley Stevens backtrack hurt him
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 1: more or... Does getting an endorsement from the American trader,
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 1: that's what he is now, the American trader Bruce Springsteen,
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 1: help him more.
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 24: I don't know.
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 19: I mean, this guy is, I'm biased because I never
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 19: liked him to begin with. Everyone's like, Brian, how could
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 19: you not like Bruce Springsteen? I just never liked him.
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 19: And now that he comes out and thinks him and
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 19: Obama are the power brokers on the left, I'm done
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 19: with him. That means he doesn't even care about, I
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 19: don't know, 70 million Americans? that he chooses to alienate
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 19: on a daily basis. And now he has like an
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 19: anti-Trump world tour where he runs down our country around
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 19: the world and goes to left-wing places like Ireland and
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 19: gets huge crowds. And he just tells us how bad
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 19: our country is. So now he comes out and he's
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 19: going to support this guy. who is closer to the
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 19: Muslim Brotherhood than he is to the Chamber of Commerce.
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 19: So forgetting Bruce Springsteen and everyone in New Jersey. Every
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 19: time I see him, know what his legacy is? Democrat.
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 26: It's not even his music.
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 1: He's a loser. He's a traitor and a loser. And
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 1: you're exactly right. And Jersey's falling apart. Is he Jewish?
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 1: He's not Jewish. No, he's not Jewish. He doesn't even
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 1: like the Jews. Clearly, when you are out there endorsing Abdul,
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 1: they'll say, I know Mandy Patinkin, the Jewish actor, did it.
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 1: And now you got this moron, Adrian Brody. He's doing
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 1: the same thing. But no, Bruce is not Jewish. Let's
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 1: move it locally. You live in Nassau County. I don't
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 1: think you live very far away from our mutual friend,
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 1: Bruce Blakeman. This is the one that everybody's watching. Will
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 1: he unseat Kathy Hochul or will she stay unseated? The polls,
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 1: which I know you just talked about, not very kind
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 1: to Bruce outside of the polls that he his own
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 1: inside polls. double digits some of these leading up to today.
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 1: But I spoke to Bruce three times yesterday, and he
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 1: remains very confident that he wins today. What do you think?
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 19: So on Friday night, he said the same thing. I mean,
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 19: really confident. You know, we all know that BS bull. Yes,
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 19: I'm doing great. And you go, I know you know.
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 19: I know you know you're not doing great. That's not
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 19: the way I get with Bruce. You know, he says,
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 19: I walk around the city. I go, how much security
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 19: do you need? Because it's getting so heated.
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 1: He goes, zero.
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 19: He says, I sit outside. I was eating pizza outside
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 19: the other day. People come up to me. I'm voting
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 19: for you. I'm voting for you. I'm voting for you.
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 19: And he says he's never felt anything like it. That's
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 19: what you need, 30% from New York City. You do
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 19: the math better than anybody. But I thought you need
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 19: 30% from New York City. So if he can get that,
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 19: I know NASA really likes him and he put the
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 19: work in. So they have him down like 14 points.
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 19: I mean, we had it was six points in August.
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 19: What happened? Did she all of a sudden catch fire?
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 19: How do how would she catch fire?
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 1: What has she done?
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 19: She have a good speech. You know, what did she do?
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 19: She's now tighter with Mindami, which is more polarizing than
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 19: anything else.
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 1: N.A.O.C.
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 19: So she's saying, screw you, Long Island and upstate New York.
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 19: I'm going to go with the polar opposite. They're a
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 19: moderate she could have been campaigning with, but they don't
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 19: want her near her. You know, Kate Connolly doesn't want it.
• 1:10:20
  Speaker 19: It's disavowed the governor. Nobody on Long Island wants it.
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 19: Tom Suozzi does not want her there. So that means
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 19: to me, Where are these people going to go if
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 19: Tom Suozzi and all these so-called moderates are not wanting
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 19: the governor because it will hurt them politically? I know
• 1:10:35
  Speaker 19: it's not personal. It's politically. So why wouldn't Bruce get
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 19: those votes?
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 1: I think he might. By the way, my friend Mike
• 1:10:41
  Speaker 1: LaPetrie running against Tom Suozzi on Long Island today. And
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 1: you mentioned Kate Connolly, which is funny because tonight I
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 1: was offered by Mike Lawler to host. host his big
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 1: event in Pearl River, at the Pearl River Hilton. I'm
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 1: going to be hosting it. It's going to be a very,
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 1: very big deal, obviously, that race, getting national attention. As
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 1: of yesterday, Polymarket had Kate Conley beating Mike Lawler. You
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 1: can take this to the bank today, Brian. Say it
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 1: 10 times on Fox and Friends. Mike Lawler, he is
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 1: not losing today. I guarantee you.
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 19: Well, I mean, what else do you want him to do?
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 19: 17 bills have passed Congress as a House member? Are
• 1:11:19
  Speaker 19: you kidding me? works across party lines. He gets Jared Golden.
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 19: Did I have that right? Over in Maine, a Democrat saying,
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 19: I endorse this guy. He's known as the most bipartisan
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 19: person in a bipartisan district. He ticks off some Republicans,
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 19: but he's there to represent his district. So what else
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 19: do you want him to do? I mean, he did
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 19: exactly what you want, and he's a presence, national presence.
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 19: So here you're in the 18th district. Do I have
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 19: that right, 18th? the 18th district, and he's made that
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 19: district national news. So he brings money there. He brings interest.
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 19: He brings big names. Famously, he brought Jackson Dart.
• 1:11:59
  Speaker 1: Yes, he did. I was there.
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 19: To introduce, yeah, the president. So, like, what else do
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 19: you want him to do.
• 1:12:03
  Speaker 1: As a congressman? No, there's nothing. He's been great.
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 19: I mean, come on.
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 1: And all those salt deductions.
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 19: Look, a lot stronger than Bowman, but we'll see what happens.
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, those salt deductions were very, very big, too. He
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 1: promised the people he got it done. At four times
• 1:12:17
  Speaker 1: the amount. All right. Any other big races in the
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 1: final three minutes here, Brian, that you're looking into this morning?
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 1: I mean, we did. You mentioned Tallarico. Texas is obviously
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 1: a big, big race. Any other ones?
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I think.
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 19: Well, in terms of the Senate, we know about Michigan
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 19: and Alaska. And I think Alaska, if it is tight
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 19: and I think it's going to be tight, that could
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 19: keep us a couple of days. So we might not
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 19: know who controls the Senate because, well, you know, you
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 19: only need 50. You only need 50 in the Senate.
• 1:12:44
  Speaker 19: So we're not going to know who controls the. Senate
• 1:12:46
  Speaker 19: for a while if it comes down to Alaska, because
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 19: obviously the terrain also in Wednesday about the redistricting, you know,
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 19: we got Republicans got a lot out of California on
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 19: before the redistricting. So they are competing now for brand
• 1:13:01
  Speaker 19: new districts against some socialists. So we'll see if they
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 19: can hold on there. And also in Texas, their race.
• 1:13:07
  Speaker 19: The Texas race, there's two or three other House seats
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 19: in Texas. It can go either way. This is what
• 1:13:12
  Speaker 19: I think is the biggest joke. And I remember in 2022,
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 19: Kevin McCarthy was supposed to have a 20-point House lead.
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 19: We have to wait eight days to find out who
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 19: controls the Senate. And then it took forever to name
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 19: a speaker. And that's when they said, everyone was saying,
• 1:13:26
  Speaker 19: red wave, red wave, red wave in the House. How
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 19: big in the Senate? And it turns out 53 seats.
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 19: But in the House, it took eight days to find
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 19: out who was in control of the House. And when
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 19: you go down to these individual races, like Derek Van
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 19: Orden in Wisconsin is a Navy SEAL. It's too close
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 19: to call. This guy, Bobby Pulido, a singer against Monica
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 19: de la Cruz in Texas, already too close to call.
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 19: You know, he's a big Hispanic singer. So I'm looking
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 19: at a lot of these different races. You don't even
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 19: know the numbers, but you get thrown at him and
• 1:13:58
  Speaker 19: everyone's saying that this could be the balance of power.
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 19: I think it's going to be really, really interesting. And
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 19: I don't think tomorrow morning, We'll know who's in control
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 19: of the House or Senate.
• 1:14:08
  Speaker 1: I agree.
• 1:14:08
  Speaker 19: I think this is going to be that long.
• 1:14:09
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:14:10
  Speaker 19: Tafoya. That long.
• 1:14:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Does Tafoya win in Minnesota? Michelle Tafoya?
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 19: I've never seen a poll where she was winning. I
• 1:14:17
  Speaker 19: saw one poll where she's trailing by double digits. The
• 1:14:19
  Speaker 19: rest are one or two points. But my feeling is
• 1:14:22
  Speaker 19: every time Flanagan talks, I think Tafoya's chances get better.
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 19: And every time J.D. Vance has a press conference about
• 1:14:29
  Speaker 19: fraud in Minnesota- I think the people of Minnesota who
• 1:14:32
  Speaker 19: put your buddy, your cousin, Norm Coleman into that seat
• 1:14:36
  Speaker 19: are open to a change. Notice they're blaming the guy
• 1:14:39
  Speaker 19: that was going to run for president. waltz and people
• 1:14:42
  Speaker 19: thought he was a real shot i know crazy but
• 1:14:45
  Speaker 19: now he's disappeared taking all the blame but there's no
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 19: way the lieutenant governor didn't know all about what goes
• 1:14:51
  Speaker 19: on from ilan omar to the somali community stealing and
• 1:14:55
  Speaker 19: sending it over to their country stealing our money and
• 1:14:57
  Speaker 19: sending it over to their country she was scared to
• 1:15:00
  Speaker 19: death of losing that constituency if the people of minnesota
• 1:15:03
  Speaker 19: have a backbone and they do they will make a change.
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 1: Final 60 seconds. Once this is over today, whether it
• 1:15:10
  Speaker 1: takes four days or eight days to find out what
• 1:15:13
  Speaker 1: really happened, how long before we start talking about Marco
• 1:15:17
  Speaker 1: Rubio and J.D. Vance on the right, Gavin Newsom, AOC,
• 1:15:22
  Speaker 1: and Kamala Harris on the left?
• 1:15:24
  Speaker 19: Okay, I think the first thing we do is we
• 1:15:26
  Speaker 19: talk Iran after the war. And, you know, the president
• 1:15:29
  Speaker 19: doesn't want to hurt gas and oil prices. And he says, oh,
• 1:15:31
  Speaker 19: I'm not looking to hit him. But we got everything
• 1:15:33
  Speaker 19: in place to hit him. There's been multiple meetings, but
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 19: it's Hegseth and Radcliffe in the White House saying we
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 19: got to hit him. And then you have J.D. Vance
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 19: and all his other constituents say don't in the White House.
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 19: So he's trying to push for talks. That's going to
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 19: be the big story. But then they're going to get
• 1:15:57
  Speaker 19: set for 2022. I think that J.D. 's got to
• 1:15:59
  Speaker 19: make it clear before Christmas if he's running or not.
• 1:16:02
  Speaker 19: I think there's a slight chance he doesn't. Because if
• 1:16:05
  Speaker 19: they get hammered here, he's got to use that momentum
• 1:16:09
  Speaker 19: to run or not run. If they get hammered here,
• 1:16:12
  Speaker 19: he's all in. Remember, he went all over the place, J.D.
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 7: Vance.
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 19: You can't even say he didn't. He's in every battleground
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 19: district multiple times. So you can't say he doesn't have
• 1:16:19
  Speaker 19: skin in the game. I think if he decides by
• 1:16:22
  Speaker 19: Christmas he's in, I don't think anyone is scared of him.
• 1:16:25
  Speaker 19: I don't think DeSantis or Ted Cruz is scared or worried.
• 1:16:29
  Speaker 19: And I think that Marco Rubio will not do it
• 1:16:32
  Speaker 19: unless Trump says to him, I'm not backing JD. You have,
• 1:16:36
  Speaker 19: if you want to do it, I will stay out
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 19: of it. I don't know if Trump does that because
• 1:16:41
  Speaker 19: it makes him look bad for picking JD. If he
• 1:16:44
  Speaker 19: doesn't feel as though he could do the job, because
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 19: when he made that pick in 2024, That's what he
• 1:16:48
  Speaker 19: was essentially saying. This is my success.
• 1:16:51
  Speaker 1: But he didn't make that pick.
• 1:16:52
  Speaker 19: We know that.
• 1:16:53
  Speaker 1: But he didn't make that pick. Donald Trump Jr. and
• 1:16:55
  Speaker 1: Tucker Carlson made that pick.
• 1:16:57
  Speaker 19: I think you're right, but he's on the record. I
• 1:17:01
  Speaker 19: know what you said. I remember the conversation. They will
• 1:17:05
  Speaker 19: assassinate you. Yeah, they will assassinate you if you pick
• 1:17:09
  Speaker 19: Rubio because they say Rubio's establishment.
• 1:17:12
  Speaker 1: That's right. That's exactly what they said. Brian, I can't
• 1:17:14
  Speaker 1: wait to watch you all day today. There's nobody better
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 1: in this game. I really mean that. I'm being completely honest.
• 1:17:19
  Speaker 1: Nobody better in the game. Brian, kill me. Go get him, buddy.
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 1: Have fun today.
• 1:17:23
  Speaker 19: And just don't forget about United States, the six crucial
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 19: moments of the 14th American miracle. If you want to
• 1:17:28
  Speaker 19: escape the process and talk about something that unites us,
• 1:17:31
  Speaker 19: how about history? Common history. BrianKilmeade.com.
• 1:17:34
  Speaker 1: Awesome. Thank you, Brian. That book is doing great. New
• 1:17:37
  Speaker 1: York Times bestseller. Brian Kilmeade coming up after me. And,
• 1:17:40
  Speaker 1: of course, Fox and Friends and One Nation. Lots more
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 1: to do today.
• 1:17:44
  Speaker 2: Sid and Friends in the Morning on the Red Apple
• 1:17:48
  Speaker 2: Podcast Network.
• 1:17:50
  Speaker 1: Bruce Blakeman.
• 1:17:51
  Speaker 9: Well, thank you, Sid. And thank you for your support.
• 1:17:53
  Speaker 9: You've been a really, really dear friend, like a brother
• 1:17:56
  Speaker 9: to me. And it's deeply appreciated. I think we're going
• 1:18:00
  Speaker 9: to have a really sweet victory. I feel it everywhere,
• 1:18:05
  Speaker 9: especially in New York City. When people come up to
• 1:18:09
  Speaker 9: me in the Bronx and Queens and Brooklyn and Staten
• 1:18:12
  Speaker 9: Island and Manhattan, and they tell me I'm a Democrat,
• 1:18:16
  Speaker 9: I've never voted Republican before, but I'm voting for you
• 1:18:19
  Speaker 9: and I'm voting Republican this year. It gives me great
• 1:18:22
  Speaker 9: encouragement that people are fed up with the high taxes,
• 1:18:26
  Speaker 9: the high utility bills. Two women were raped in New
• 1:18:29
  Speaker 9: York City. And just the last week, and Kathy Hochul
• 1:18:33
  Speaker 9: has the gall to stand there with Zoran Mondami and
• 1:18:36
  Speaker 9: say it's safer.
• 1:18:37
  Speaker 11: It's not safer.
• 1:18:38
  Speaker 9: A 15-year-old boy was shot in New York City last week.
• 1:18:43
  Speaker 9: It's not safer. It's all a hoax. And the fact
• 1:18:46
  Speaker 9: of the matter is, everybody needs to go out and vote.
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 9: to save our state because I'm the only one that
• 1:18:54
  Speaker 9: can stop Zoran Mondami. I'm the only one that will
• 1:18:57
  Speaker 9: cut taxes. You know, Kathy Hochul will increase taxes. I'm
• 1:19:00
  Speaker 9: the only one that can cut utility bills. And I
• 1:19:03
  Speaker 9: am the only one that will be able to make
• 1:19:05
  Speaker 9: safer communities for you and your families because the choice
• 1:19:09
  Speaker 9: is between hokumandami and sanity.
• 1:19:12
  Speaker 1: Bo Dito, Election Day Tuesday morning. How are you, bud?
• 1:19:16
  Speaker 20: Oh, I'm excited. I had such a great dream last night.
• 1:19:20
  Speaker 20: It was better than orgasmic. All I dreamt was one thing.
• 1:19:24
  Speaker 20: that Blakeman pulled the biggest upset. And guess what? I
• 1:19:29
  Speaker 20: tried to vote yesterday on Long Island, where I live,
• 1:19:32
  Speaker 20: and the polls were closed. But guess what? I'm going
• 1:19:35
  Speaker 20: to get my butt in that car. I'm driving all
• 1:19:38
  Speaker 20: the way out to Long Island, and I'm voting for
• 1:19:40
  Speaker 20: Bruce Blakeman. And all your listeners, call people up. Because
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 20: right now, this is on the verge. Don't listen to
• 1:19:47
  Speaker 20: these stupid polls. Because right now, the difference is you're
• 1:19:51
  Speaker 20: going to elect socialists, communists, All Hochul is is a
• 1:19:57
  Speaker 20: puppet for Mondami. You really think we're in great shape?
• 1:20:01
  Speaker 20: This New York state is the bottom of 50 states.
• 1:20:05
  Speaker 20: They're not going after any of the fraud. You've got
• 1:20:08
  Speaker 20: to vote right down the line, Republican. Get the chase,
• 1:20:12
  Speaker 20: unless you're happy with what's going on. And right now...
• 1:20:16
  Speaker 20: what's going on in our subways. People have to take
• 1:20:20
  Speaker 20: since 19, 2019 with snaggletooth, violent crimes up 53%, murders
• 1:20:25
  Speaker 20: up 249%, rape is up 132%, felony assault is up 133.
• 1:20:30
  Speaker 20: And then she's telling you how good she's doing. Right now,
• 1:20:35
  Speaker 20: if you're happy, then you vote for snaggletooth. But if
• 1:20:38
  Speaker 20: you're not, let's try. Blankly, we have to change it.
• 1:20:42
  Speaker 20: You know what? This is going to be something where
• 1:20:45
  Speaker 20: if we don't elect Bruce Blakeman and all the Republicans,
• 1:20:49
  Speaker 20: we're in for the end of our end of our road.
• 1:20:52
  Speaker 20: And here's something very important, because I called Washington. You know,
• 1:20:56
  Speaker 20: I sit on the Homeland Security advisory council. My daughter,
• 1:21:00
  Speaker 20: my friends, everybody's panicking. I don't know if you watch
• 1:21:04
  Speaker 20: if you go on Instagram and ticky tocky and all
• 1:21:07
  Speaker 20: this bullcrap. They're attacking us. Missiles are ready, this and that.
• 1:21:11
  Speaker 20: Then you've got Bret Baier, which is not really Bret Baier.
• 1:21:15
  Speaker 20: They're using AI to take over the news to frighten
• 1:21:19
  Speaker 20: the hell out of people.
• 1:21:20
  Speaker 21: Turn it on there.
• 1:21:21
  Speaker 20: Get water. Get electricity. You're not going to have no electricity.
• 1:21:25
  Speaker 20: Crime is going to be on. You're not going to
• 1:21:26
  Speaker 20: have any water. What they're doing. They're emotionally attacking people.
• 1:21:31
  Speaker 1: I know.
• 1:21:31
  Speaker 21: Children, you go try.
• 1:21:33
  Speaker 20: To get water in the supermarket. Everybody's buying water. What
• 1:21:36
  Speaker 20: they're doing is this is the attack of the communist socialists.
• 1:21:40
  Speaker 20: They want to get everybody upset.
• 1:21:42
  Speaker 21: Just turn your eyes to Europe.
• 1:21:45
  Speaker 20: What's going on? That will be coming in here.
• 1:21:47
  Speaker 9: I check.
• 1:21:48
  Speaker 20: We know about these cells that have been here with
• 1:21:51
  Speaker 20: that brain-dead Biden who opened up our southern border. They
• 1:21:55
  Speaker 20: all climbed through here, all these cells. But is there
• 1:21:57
  Speaker 20: an active threat? There's not an active threat, but if
• 1:22:00
  Speaker 20: you turn on the social media.
• 1:22:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I got a message from our friend Jen DeLongio
• 1:22:07
  Speaker 1: last night. She's like, are the Iranians shutting off all electricity?
• 1:22:10
  Speaker 1: And I said, calm down. Take it easy. Stop it.
• 1:22:13
  Speaker 20: This is what AI is doing.
• 1:22:15
  Speaker 1: I know.
• 1:22:19
  Speaker 20: His picture, and he's talking about this. And then I
• 1:22:22
  Speaker 20: called up Washington, and they said, Bo, this is bull crap.
• 1:22:25
  Speaker 1: Of course it is.
• 1:22:26
  Speaker 20: People are getting their news from this thing. Let's be real.
• 1:22:29
  Speaker 1: Listen, I'm going to say this, Bo. We have enough
• 1:22:30
  Speaker 1: issues in New York City, in New York State, and
• 1:22:34
  Speaker 1: around the country that conspiracy theories and AI and Iran
• 1:22:39
  Speaker 1: is blowing us up today and shutting off our grids.
• 1:22:42
  Speaker 1: We don't need that nonsense.
• 1:22:44
  Speaker 20: My own daughter calls me, Dad, will you pick me
• 1:22:46
  Speaker 20: up when the lights go out? Everybody's panicking. That's causing illness.
• 1:22:51
  Speaker 20: When you're under this kind of stress, worrying about this crap.
• 1:22:55
  Speaker 21: That will bring illness in.
• 1:22:56
  Speaker 20: And you know the big C comes with stress. Cancer
• 1:22:59
  Speaker 20: comes with stress. And all they're doing is making people upset.
• 1:23:03
  Speaker 20: And I tell you what, let's just look at real fast.
• 1:23:06
  Speaker 20: You know, I got pages, but I'm not going to
• 1:23:08
  Speaker 20: go into it. We're number 50 out of 50 states
• 1:23:10
  Speaker 20: with this snaggle to the hokos. Right now, we're paying
• 1:23:13
  Speaker 20: more taxes. She wants more taxes. She was asked, are
• 1:23:16
  Speaker 20: you going to raise taxes? All she went with, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
• 1:23:20
  Speaker 20: Right now, you've got this sanctuary state. We've got to
• 1:23:24
  Speaker 20: stop this sanctuary state. And the only one that can
• 1:23:27
  Speaker 20: stop it is Blakeman. So in reality, if you're happy
• 1:23:30
  Speaker 20: with where you are, with high taxes and all this crap,
• 1:23:34
  Speaker 20: with the dirt and the filth, And then you've got
• 1:23:37
  Speaker 20: a sexless police department.
• 1:23:38
  Speaker 24: Yes.
• 1:23:39
  Speaker 20: I'm saying it. Feckless. These cops are out there doing
• 1:23:42
  Speaker 20: nothing because they're told not to get involved. There's Instagram things,
• 1:23:47
  Speaker 20: guys cursing at them. They just stand there. They know
• 1:23:49
  Speaker 20: they can't do nothing. And this is the police department
• 1:23:52
  Speaker 20: that I graduated from, and I'm sick to my stomach
• 1:23:55
  Speaker 20: the way cops are treated in this city because of
• 1:23:58
  Speaker 20: this stupid, feckless mayor that we got right now and
• 1:24:01
  Speaker 20: the city council of morons. And, hey, look, we have
• 1:24:04
  Speaker 20: fifth rape in Central Park. Look at that poor woman
• 1:24:08
  Speaker 20: over there in the Bell Parkway. Beautiful young girl jogging
• 1:24:12
  Speaker 20: for the big race. And she gets stabbed in the neck.
• 1:24:16
  Speaker 21: She's brain dead. No one gives a crap.
• 1:24:19
  Speaker 20: What's going on. Is this what we want to live like?
• 1:24:21
  Speaker 20: We've got to get Blakeman in there. And we've got
• 1:24:24
  Speaker 20: to turn back to true values for our family. Please
• 1:24:28
  Speaker 20: call people up. I'm driving to Nassau County. I don't
• 1:24:32
  Speaker 20: care if it takes me three hours. And all the Republicans.
• 1:24:37
  Speaker 20: And I challenge everybody. Get out there. People are the
• 1:24:40
  Speaker 20: way we're going to be in the mix. Oh, one
• 1:24:42
  Speaker 20: more thing.
• 1:24:43
  Speaker 1: Well, one more thing for you. One more thing, because
• 1:24:45
  Speaker 1: you ran for mayor years and years ago. We know
• 1:24:47
  Speaker 1: you got a job. We know the whole story. But
• 1:24:50
  Speaker 1: what was it like waking up on Election Day morning?
• 1:24:54
  Speaker 20: Well, what was like with me, with your friend there,
• 1:24:57
  Speaker 20: Big Bird there, Cox, that formulated zero. What it was,
• 1:25:02
  Speaker 20: what they wouldn't give me a line. And then Big Bird,
• 1:25:05
  Speaker 20: de Blasio, Cox's brother there, the other Big Bird, he
• 1:25:08
  Speaker 20: took me off every line. I had no line. But
• 1:25:11
  Speaker 20: I put in about a million and a half dollars.
• 1:25:13
  Speaker 21: I ran.
• 1:25:14
  Speaker 20: I knew I was a loser.
• 1:25:15
  Speaker 21: But you know what?
• 1:25:16
  Speaker 20: I wouldn't fade. I just kept fighting, fighting. Probably three
• 1:25:19
  Speaker 20: people voted me. My daughter called me and said, Dad,
• 1:25:22
  Speaker 20: I can't find your name. I was under some Chinese guy.
• 1:25:25
  Speaker 21: I don't even.
• 1:25:26
  Speaker 20: Know what the hell it was.
• 1:25:27
  Speaker 1: And they put me by the ballot.
• 1:25:29
  Speaker 21: They couldn't do it.
• 1:25:30
  Speaker 20: I knew I was a loser. But you know what, Sid?
• 1:25:34
  Speaker 1: Yes, yes. Yeah, but that's what we need, though. That's
• 1:25:39
  Speaker 1: why I said earlier, not because I'm a narcissist. They
• 1:25:42
  Speaker 1: should be calling me every minute. I'm not going to
• 1:25:44
  Speaker 1: win in this city. I don't want to give up
• 1:25:46
  Speaker 1: a big time paying job, which I've got. But but
• 1:25:49
  Speaker 1: they need Republicans who aren't afraid. whether it's Bo Dietl
• 1:25:53
  Speaker 1: or Sid Rosenberg. Let's be honest. We're outnumbered, yes, but
• 1:25:57
  Speaker 1: we don't have great candidates running all the time either,
• 1:25:59
  Speaker 1: do we?
• 1:25:59
  Speaker 20: But you're wrong in something, Sid.
• 1:26:01
  Speaker 21: You're really wrong here.
• 1:26:02
  Speaker 20: We don't just need Republicans. We need smart Democrats and
• 1:26:06
  Speaker 20: independents to realize what's at stake here. It's not about Republican-Democrats.
• 1:26:12
  Speaker 20: You must vote Republican, yes, but what is the alternative?
• 1:26:16
  Speaker 20: The alternative is communism.
• 1:26:17
  Speaker 1: Lunaticism.
• 1:26:18
  Speaker 20: Socialism, and that's why you gotta I want all my Democratic.
• 1:26:22
  Speaker 21: People that are listening, please vote.
• 1:26:24
  Speaker 20: Vote, otherwise we're gonna be in the abyss, and now
• 1:26:27
  Speaker 20: we got a feckless governor, we got a scumbag mayor,
• 1:26:31
  Speaker 20: and we've got to change our direction, otherwise we're going
• 1:26:35
  Speaker 20: into the soup.
• 1:26:39
  Speaker 1: There he is, ladies and gentlemen. Amazing. Every Tuesday morning.
• 1:26:44
  Speaker 1: I'm so proud of him. I love him so much.
• 1:26:46
  Speaker 1: He really is one of my favorite people. Uncle Bo
• 1:26:49
  Speaker 1: Bo Deedle, thank you for that. We are going into
• 1:26:51
  Speaker 1: the soup. Now, I like a nice split pea soup.
• 1:26:54
  Speaker 1: What's your favorite soup, Louis?
• 1:26:57
  Speaker 19: I like beef barley.
• 1:26:59
  Speaker 1: You like beef barley? You got to be a Minestrone guy,
• 1:27:01
  Speaker 1: you half Italian. Yeah, I like clam chowder. So do I.
• 1:27:05
  Speaker 1: The red one?
• 1:27:07
  Speaker 20: Which?
• 1:27:07
  Speaker 1: The red one is Manhattan. I like the white one better.
• 1:27:10
  Speaker 1: New England, actually. Very exciting to get a New England
• 1:27:12
  Speaker 1: clam chowder. I like that, too. Yeah, you like that, too?
• 1:27:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:27:16
  Speaker 1: What's the soup that my daughter always gets at Italian
• 1:27:18
  Speaker 1: restaurants every time? Minestrone? No. Oh, come on. The famous one.
• 1:27:22
  Speaker 1: Pasta Fajul. Pasta Fajul! Come on, baby. Bo Dietl's Italian. Anyway, Bo,
• 1:27:27
  Speaker 1: you were great today. You're always great. Thank you for that.
• 1:27:30
  Speaker 1: We'll take a break. Lots more to do. The king
• 1:27:33
  Speaker 1: of Rockland County, Mr. Salt... I'm hosting his big gala tonight.
• 1:27:38
  Speaker 2: Sid and friends in the morning on the Red Apple
• 1:27:42
  Speaker 2: Podcast Network.
• 1:27:44
  Speaker 1: The polls are down and folks are very, very nervous.
• 1:27:47
  Speaker 1: People are already tweeting that though. Maybe a long night
• 1:27:50
  Speaker 1: for Sid. I'm hosting Mike Lawler's party tonight at the
• 1:27:54
  Speaker 1: Pearl River Hilton. And now the results may not come
• 1:27:57
  Speaker 1: back tonight. Maybe a long night for New York 17.
• 1:28:01
  Speaker 1: All I'm going to say is calm down. Westchester, you're listening.
• 1:28:05
  Speaker 1: Don't panic. I'm going to have Mike Lawler on this
• 1:28:08
  Speaker 1: show literally in 15 minutes. So the man himself, the
• 1:28:12
  Speaker 1: king of Rockland County, Mr. Salt, he will explain whether
• 1:28:17
  Speaker 1: this is a big deal or not. So if you're
• 1:28:19
  Speaker 1: freaking out, let's find out exactly what's going on. Mike
• 1:28:22
  Speaker 1: Lawler will join me later on this hour. First, we've
• 1:28:26
  Speaker 1: got the news, then Mike Lawler, then a lot more
• 1:28:29
  Speaker 1: to come.
• 1:28:30
  Speaker 2: Sid and Friends in the Morning on the Red Apple
• 1:28:34
  Speaker 2: Podcast Network.
• 1:28:36
  Speaker 1: Well, this is a fine young lady. Her and her mom...
• 1:28:39
  Speaker 1: Caroline and Carolyn. She's running in District 12 for Congress.
• 1:28:45
  Speaker 1: I hosted one of her parties. She's become a very,
• 1:28:47
  Speaker 1: very good friend. And I think she's an amazing candidate
• 1:28:51
  Speaker 1: for Congress. Caroline Schenkel. Caroline, here we are. Lots of events,
• 1:28:57
  Speaker 1: lots of videos, lots of conversations, lots of interviews. It
• 1:29:01
  Speaker 1: all ends today. Today's election day. How are you feeling?
• 1:29:05
  Speaker 13: I'm feeling amazing, Sid. The energy is off the charts.
• 1:29:08
  Speaker 13: I am out at the polls right now. I'm at
• 1:29:10
  Speaker 13: the corner. a 56th and 2nd Ave. So if that's
• 1:29:14
  Speaker 13: anybody's polling location, please come say hi. The energy is amazing.
• 1:29:18
  Speaker 13: I've got some special guests with me actually right now
• 1:29:20
  Speaker 13: helping me campaign. Michael Cohen, your colleague from WABC, is
• 1:29:25
  Speaker 13: here greeting voters. And we're getting this done, Sid. This
• 1:29:28
  Speaker 13: is going to be a miracle in Manhattan. Round two,
• 1:29:31
  Speaker 13: we're making it happen.
• 1:29:32
  Speaker 1: I think you're going to win, too. And most of
• 1:29:34
  Speaker 1: it is because you're an amazing candidate. Some of it
• 1:29:37
  Speaker 1: is your opponent, Michael Lasher. He's a real dog, no?
• 1:29:40
  Speaker 1: Real dog.
• 1:29:41
  Speaker 13: He's a terrible candidate. He's very radical. He's very unpopular.
• 1:29:45
  Speaker 13: And he doesn't represent the will and the values of
• 1:29:47
  Speaker 13: the people of New York 12th. And in fact, he
• 1:29:50
  Speaker 13: was just endorsed by Pramila Jayapal, which he was celebrating.
• 1:29:53
  Speaker 13: This is somebody who wants to be a Jerry Nadler 2.0.
• 1:29:56
  Speaker 13: We all know that Jerry Nadler has been part of
• 1:29:58
  Speaker 13: the problem for 30 plus years. So it's time for change.
• 1:30:01
  Speaker 13: It's time for pro-enterprise policies, pro-business, pro-growth. pro-American worker, pro-common
• 1:30:07
  Speaker 13: sense said, and it's not Republican versus Democrat. We're building
• 1:30:10
  Speaker 13: a red-blue alliance here in New York 12 like you've
• 1:30:13
  Speaker 13: never seen before. And it's all of this amazing crossover
• 1:30:16
  Speaker 13: support that has really contributed to what I believe is
• 1:30:19
  Speaker 13: one of the greatest political realignments and political movements in
• 1:30:22
  Speaker 13: American history. It's starting right here in the middle of Manhattan.
• 1:30:25
  Speaker 13: You heard it here first.
• 1:30:27
  Speaker 1: I believe it. I've seen it. It's amazing. Caroline, good
• 1:30:30
  Speaker 1: luck today to you and your mom. You've run a
• 1:30:32
  Speaker 1: spectacular campaign. The Board of Elections is working with their
• 1:30:36
  Speaker 1: vendors to resolve it. My friend Rios out in New
• 1:30:39
  Speaker 1: Jersey just told me Letitia James is aware. Well, that's
• 1:30:42
  Speaker 1: great news. God knows she's great. Yeah, good luck with
• 1:30:46
  Speaker 1: that one. Mike did say what I just said, though,
• 1:30:48
  Speaker 1: moments ago. However, every ballot will be counted. Stay online
• 1:30:54
  Speaker 1: and vote. Do not leave the polling place without voting.
• 1:30:59
  Speaker 1: Your vote counts. I just said that, right? I said
• 1:31:01
  Speaker 1: stop panicking, Westchester. Just vote. Take it easy. Calm down.
• 1:31:05
  Speaker 1: I'm getting these hysterical messages. I got some last night
• 1:31:09
  Speaker 1: from friends who said Iran's about to shut off our
• 1:31:12
  Speaker 1: electrical grid. That nonsense. Now, Westchester, take it easy. Stay there.
• 1:31:18
  Speaker 1: Vote for Lawler. It's all going to be good. We're
• 1:31:20
  Speaker 1: going to talk to Mike Lawler, but first, coming up next,
• 1:31:23
  Speaker 1: one of our favorite people, dating all the way back
• 1:31:26
  Speaker 1: to the Imus days. She loves Bruce Blakeman. She loves
• 1:31:29
  Speaker 1: New York City.
• 1:31:31
  Speaker 2: Sid and Friends in the Morning on the Red Apple
• 1:31:34
  Speaker 2: Podcast Network.
• 1:31:36
  Speaker 1: This girl I really love. I really love her. 11th District,
• 1:31:40
  Speaker 1: Staten Island, Brooklyn. An amazing congresswoman. She really is. She
• 1:31:45
  Speaker 1: stands for everything right. She's going to win today, my friend,
• 1:31:48
  Speaker 1: Nicole Maliotakis. Nicole, good Election Day morning. What does your
• 1:31:53
  Speaker 1: day look like today?
• 1:31:54
  Speaker 29: We'll be going around to all the different poll sites,
• 1:31:57
  Speaker 29: greeting people, thanking the poll workers. And, you know, look,
• 1:32:00
  Speaker 29: I think at the end of the day, it's about
• 1:32:02
  Speaker 29: ensuring that the people of Staten Island and Brooklyn get
• 1:32:04
  Speaker 29: out and vote. And, of course, across the entire state,
• 1:32:08
  Speaker 29: voter turnout was a little low, especially on the Republican side.
• 1:32:12
  Speaker 29: during early voting. And so today is the day that
• 1:32:14
  Speaker 29: we have to all get out there if we're going
• 1:32:16
  Speaker 29: to save this state, if we're going to get rid
• 1:32:18
  Speaker 29: of Kathy Hochul and her destructive policies. So everyone needs
• 1:32:22
  Speaker 29: to get out and vote. When you compare the numbers
• 1:32:25
  Speaker 29: to the presidential numbers, It's sad to think that people
• 1:32:29
  Speaker 29: wouldn't vote simply because it wasn't a presidential year when
• 1:32:31
  Speaker 29: we are so affected by state policies. You know, when
• 1:32:35
  Speaker 29: I go around the district, people complain about that we're
• 1:32:37
  Speaker 29: paying 60 percent more than the rest of the country,
• 1:32:40
  Speaker 29: that they're seeing cop killers and murderers being released and
• 1:32:43
  Speaker 29: career criminals being released from jail. And you have the
• 1:32:46
  Speaker 29: sanctuary of state policies that are protecting people in this
• 1:32:49
  Speaker 29: country illegally who are committing crimes illegally. But that's all
• 1:32:51
  Speaker 29: state policy. If people want to change it, they need
• 1:32:53
  Speaker 29: to get out and vote today and vote Republican, starting
• 1:32:56
  Speaker 29: with Bruce Blakeman.
• 1:32:58
  Speaker 1: And you, of course, folks, do what she says. Vote
• 1:33:01
  Speaker 1: for Bruce Blakeman, our dear friend. Vote for Nicole Maliotakis,
• 1:33:04
  Speaker 1: an amazing congresswoman, a great New Yorker and a great lady. Nicole,
• 1:33:08
  Speaker 1: great message. Good luck today. Here he is, the great
• 1:33:11
  Speaker 1: Mike Lawler. Michael, good morning, buddy. How are you?
• 1:33:15
  Speaker 11: I'm good, Sid.
• 1:33:16
  Speaker 4: How are you?
• 1:33:17
  Speaker 1: I'm good, but are we going to celebrate tonight, or
• 1:33:19
  Speaker 1: is this issue in Westchester going to screw us up?
• 1:33:24
  Speaker 11: They're going to count the ballots. They're working on the
• 1:33:26
  Speaker 11: issue as we speak. There was a problem with the
• 1:33:31
  Speaker 11: ballots as they were printed, the thickness of the paper,
• 1:33:34
  Speaker 11: and the way the machines were formatted. So they're rectifying
• 1:33:40
  Speaker 11: the situation, but every ballot will be counted. Everybody needs
• 1:33:44
  Speaker 11: to stay online.
• 1:33:45
  Speaker 1: Do not leave.
• 1:33:47
  Speaker 11: Don't get discouraged. Don't get frustrated. This is the most
• 1:33:51
  Speaker 11: important thing you can do today is vote. So if
• 1:33:55
  Speaker 11: it takes a little longer, certainly I get the frustration,
• 1:33:59
  Speaker 11: but make sure you vote. Do not leave the line
• 1:34:02
  Speaker 11: without voting. Every ballot will be counted.
• 1:34:05
  Speaker 1: Exactly what I told them. I know they're panicking. I'm
• 1:34:07
  Speaker 1: getting a ton of messages. Sid, Sid, I'm in Westchester.
• 1:34:10
  Speaker 1: I can't vote. Take it easy. You can vote. Just
• 1:34:13
  Speaker 1: vote for Mike Lawler. And have a nice rest of
• 1:34:15
  Speaker 1: the day. We're going to celebrate tonight this big win.
• 1:34:18
  Speaker 1: Even though Polymarket yesterday had you losing, these idiots, by
• 1:34:23
  Speaker 1: 14 points to Kate Conley.
• 1:34:26
  Speaker 11: Yeah, listen, these predictive markets. It's absurd. I don't know
• 1:34:30
  Speaker 11: why people follow that for for politics. You know, at
• 1:34:34
  Speaker 11: the end of the day, it's about the voters. It's
• 1:34:37
  Speaker 11: about the people in the district. It's about the work
• 1:34:39
  Speaker 11: that we did throughout the course of this campaign. And
• 1:34:44
  Speaker 11: I am confident tonight when all the votes are counted,
• 1:34:47
  Speaker 11: we are going to win. And we're going to send
• 1:34:49
  Speaker 11: a message loud and clear here in New York that
• 1:34:53
  Speaker 11: in my district, We do not support socialism. We don't
• 1:34:57
  Speaker 11: support the rise of anti-Semitism. We don't support the radical
• 1:35:03
  Speaker 11: policies that will destroy this country. And the voters across
• 1:35:08
  Speaker 11: the 17th District are going to send that message loud
• 1:35:11
  Speaker 11: and clear tonight. We just need everybody to get out
• 1:35:14
  Speaker 11: and vote. I've never cared what the pollsters say, what
• 1:35:17
  Speaker 11: the pundits say, what the media says, and certainly not
• 1:35:21
  Speaker 11: what the predictive markets say. It has always been about
• 1:35:23
  Speaker 11: the voters, and we have delivered time and again for
• 1:35:27
  Speaker 11: my constituents, and that's why I'm going to win tonight.
• 1:35:30
  Speaker 11: when all the votes are counted.
• 1:35:31
  Speaker 1: You are going to win. You talk about anti-Semitism. You
• 1:35:34
  Speaker 1: lead that committee in Congress, and you've been just an
• 1:35:37
  Speaker 1: amazing pro-Israel guy. And President Trump was on Fox News
• 1:35:41
  Speaker 1: just moments ago. He just got off a little while ago.
• 1:35:44
  Speaker 1: And he said that the aid to Israel ends this year.
• 1:35:49
  Speaker 1: That's not shocking, not surprising. Fox News will make a
• 1:35:51
  Speaker 1: big deal about it. But we've already heard that from both,
• 1:35:54
  Speaker 1: both Trump and Bibi months ago. And I got to
• 1:35:57
  Speaker 1: tell you, I'm happy because all the anti-Semites I know,
• 1:36:01
  Speaker 1: all these morons, people like Alex Jones and Mike Flynn,
• 1:36:05
  Speaker 1: all these people, they go, why do we give Israel
• 1:36:07
  Speaker 1: $ 4 billion? As if, by the way, Israel gives us
• 1:36:10
  Speaker 1: nothing back. But you make those billions go away. then
• 1:36:14
  Speaker 1: what are they going to argue about? What are they
• 1:36:15
  Speaker 1: going to complain about Israel? So I'm happy if Israel
• 1:36:19
  Speaker 1: doesn't take a bunch of money from the United States
• 1:36:21
  Speaker 1: because then the haters have nothing to complain about, do they?
• 1:36:26
  Speaker 11: Look, they'll find something new. I mean, just last week,
• 1:36:29
  Speaker 11: Kathy Hochul said, oh, if Bibi's gone, anti-Semitism will stop.
• 1:36:33
  Speaker 1: Idiotic.
• 1:36:33
  Speaker 11: Effectively blaming the Jews for people hating the Jews.
• 1:36:36
  Speaker 1: In the meantime, by the way, this wench, this wicked
• 1:36:39
  Speaker 1: witch wench, she's hanging out with Mom Donnie. I mean,
• 1:36:42
  Speaker 1: give me a break.
• 1:36:44
  Speaker 11: Hanging out with him. She's bending the knee to him.
• 1:36:46
  Speaker 11: I mean, she does everything she can to support his
• 1:36:49
  Speaker 11: radical agenda. She's going to raise taxes if she wins tonight.
• 1:36:54
  Speaker 11: There's no question in my mind she will do everything
• 1:36:57
  Speaker 11: in her power to support his agenda because he helped her.
• 1:37:02
  Speaker 11: He he prevented a primary. He got all the progressives
• 1:37:07
  Speaker 11: to rally behind her and she will fall right in
• 1:37:10
  Speaker 11: line like the rest of them, as would my opponent,
• 1:37:13
  Speaker 11: Kate Conley. She will be nothing but a rubber stamp.
• 1:37:16
  Speaker 11: And you and I both know, Sid. Hakeem Jeffries and
• 1:37:19
  Speaker 11: Chuck Schumer are not the leaders of the Democratic Party.
• 1:37:22
  Speaker 11: It's AOC. It's Bernie Sanders. It's Zoran Mamdani. That's who's
• 1:37:26
  Speaker 11: leading the way for the Democrats.
• 1:37:28
  Speaker 7: Agreed.
• 1:37:28
  Speaker 1: There's 11 DSA candidates that have been endorsed that are
• 1:37:32
  Speaker 1: going to all lead the way. You know, I just wonder, Mike,
• 1:37:35
  Speaker 1: you know, you're in such an important position and. You know,
• 1:37:37
  Speaker 1: we have this very slim margin anyway in the House.
• 1:37:40
  Speaker 1: We may lose that today. We may. Then you become
• 1:37:43
  Speaker 1: even more important, I got to tell you. But there
• 1:37:45
  Speaker 1: was a time where you considered you and Elise Stefanik
• 1:37:48
  Speaker 1: running for governor until you decided to stay in Congress.
• 1:37:52
  Speaker 1: When you look at Kathy Hochul, and odds are she's
• 1:37:56
  Speaker 1: a favorite to win today. Okay, hopefully Bruce Blakeman beats her.
• 1:37:59
  Speaker 1: If there's a God up there, Bruce Whiteman will win.
• 1:38:01
  Speaker 1: But if she wins today, will that bother you? That
• 1:38:05
  Speaker 1: maybe you didn't end up running for governor? Because this
• 1:38:08
  Speaker 1: is still your state. I know you're in D.C. I
• 1:38:11
  Speaker 1: know you're helping the country, helping the world. But you
• 1:38:13
  Speaker 1: love New York State. If she stays in charge, will
• 1:38:17
  Speaker 1: you kick yourself in the ass?
• 1:38:19
  Speaker 11: No, not at all. Look, first of all, I appreciate
• 1:38:22
  Speaker 11: the fact that Bruce put himself forward, that he ran.
• 1:38:25
  Speaker 11: He ran a spirited race. And, you know, I think
• 1:38:28
  Speaker 11: at the end of the day, it's a very clear
• 1:38:30
  Speaker 11: choice between somebody who will bring down the cost of living,
• 1:38:33
  Speaker 11: who will cut taxes, cut spending and improve public safety
• 1:38:38
  Speaker 11: versus Kathy Hochul, who will continue down the path that
• 1:38:43
  Speaker 11: has made New York a the highest tax state, the
• 1:38:46
  Speaker 11: worst business climate in America, and we lead the nation
• 1:38:50
  Speaker 11: in out-migration. She is managing the decline of New York. Yes, listen,
• 1:38:56
  Speaker 11: I'm a New Yorker. I love this state. I love
• 1:38:58
  Speaker 11: its people. I love the fight that New Yorkers bring
• 1:39:03
  Speaker 11: every day. And, yes, I want this state to move
• 1:39:06
  Speaker 11: in a better direction. And I want a Republican governor
• 1:39:09
  Speaker 11: because we need balance in Albany. We need common sense
• 1:39:13
  Speaker 11: in Albany. Ultimately, I made a decision on a number
• 1:39:17
  Speaker 11: of factors, including my family, as well as the fact
• 1:39:20
  Speaker 11: that I love what I'm doing. I love serving in
• 1:39:23
  Speaker 11: the United States House of Representatives. I love serving in
• 1:39:27
  Speaker 11: a position of influence to be able to impact policy
• 1:39:32
  Speaker 11: at a national level and in a seat that if
• 1:39:37
  Speaker 11: I wasn't running, would almost assuredly be going Democrat today.
• 1:39:41
  Speaker 11: So this is, you know, there was a lot of factors.
• 1:39:45
  Speaker 11: And ultimately, I made the decision that I thought was
• 1:39:48
  Speaker 11: in the best interest of the country, in the best
• 1:39:50
  Speaker 11: interest of my constituents and my family. Whatever the future holds,
• 1:39:54
  Speaker 11: the future holds. And if the future holds nothing, So
• 1:39:58
  Speaker 11: be it.
• 1:39:58
  Speaker 20: Right.
• 1:39:58
  Speaker 11: To me, this is about serving the public. It's not
• 1:40:02
  Speaker 11: about a title. It's not about, you know, the notoriety
• 1:40:05
  Speaker 11: that comes with it. It's about the work. And I
• 1:40:07
  Speaker 11: have committed myself to the work. I have worked tirelessly.
• 1:40:11
  Speaker 11: Nobody has outworked me in this campaign or in Congress.
• 1:40:15
  Speaker 11: I have delivered time and again for my constituents. We've
• 1:40:19
  Speaker 11: passed over two dozen bills. Seventeen have been signed. into law.
• 1:40:22
  Speaker 11: Ask AOC how many bills she's had signed into law.
• 1:40:25
  Speaker 11: The fact is that I have done the work. I
• 1:40:28
  Speaker 11: care deeply about what happens to this country and this state.
• 1:40:32
  Speaker 11: And in this moment, in this election, that was the
• 1:40:35
  Speaker 11: right decision for me and I believe for the country.
• 1:40:38
  Speaker 1: I agree. Plus, you're 40 years old. Let's be honest, okay?
• 1:40:40
  Speaker 1: You got plenty of time to run for governor, president.
• 1:40:43
  Speaker 1: Who knows? This is not going to be the end
• 1:40:45
  Speaker 1: of your career. Even though I'm saying you're going to
• 1:40:47
  Speaker 1: win tonight, but Congress will not be the only piece
• 1:40:51
  Speaker 1: on your resume. I do want to ask you a
• 1:40:54
  Speaker 1: question which may require just a simple yes or no. Hey,
• 1:40:58
  Speaker 1: Mike Lawler, do you vote with President Trump 100% of
• 1:41:02
  Speaker 1: the time?
• 1:41:04
  Speaker 10: No.
• 1:41:05
  Speaker 1: You sure? Because Kay Conley says you do.
• 1:41:09
  Speaker 11: Listen, if there's one thing I can't wait for after
• 1:41:13
  Speaker 11: 9 p.m. tonight, it's for all these ads to stop.
• 1:41:16
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 1:41:16
  Speaker 11: Because it's been nothing but straight up lies for months.
• 1:41:22
  Speaker 11: And it just speaks to the fact that at the
• 1:41:24
  Speaker 11: end of the day, even even in a favorable climate,
• 1:41:28
  Speaker 11: the Democrats have nothing to run on. If you think
• 1:41:31
  Speaker 11: about it, what exactly has Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer
• 1:41:35
  Speaker 11: campaigned on other than they hate the president of the
• 1:41:37
  Speaker 11: United States? They have not offered one idea about what
• 1:41:41
  Speaker 11: they would do to bring down the cost of living,
• 1:41:44
  Speaker 11: to improve public safety, to improve the quality of life,
• 1:41:48
  Speaker 11: to address issues from health care, to housing, to immigration,
• 1:41:52
  Speaker 11: to energy. The fact is my opponent and the Democrats
• 1:41:56
  Speaker 11: want to eliminate, eliminate fossil fuels. They want to eliminate
• 1:42:01
  Speaker 11: oil and gas production in America. What do people think
• 1:42:04
  Speaker 11: gas prices will be if Democrats get their way and
• 1:42:07
  Speaker 11: they eliminate oil and gas production? The fact is they
• 1:42:11
  Speaker 11: don't have policy ideas that work. It's why the Democratic
• 1:42:15
  Speaker 11: Party has their lowest favorability rating ever, ever.
• 1:42:20
  Speaker 1: I know, I know, ever.
• 1:42:22
  Speaker 11: And by the way, I can say is this.
• 1:42:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:42:24
  Speaker 11: People need to not listen to the polls, the pundits,
• 1:42:28
  Speaker 11: the media. Go out and vote. Go out and vote.
• 1:42:32
  Speaker 22: That's it.
• 1:42:32
  Speaker 11: You have one job today.
• 1:42:33
  Speaker 1: That's it.
• 1:42:34
  Speaker 11: Get off your ass and go vote.
• 1:42:36
  Speaker 1: I love it. Gas prices are coming down already. My
• 1:42:38
  Speaker 1: buddy Mario Salerno in Williamsburg, $ 3. 99 this morning in Brooklyn
• 1:42:42
  Speaker 1: to get gas, $ 3. 99. One more for you.
• 1:42:45
  Speaker 11: By the way, it would be even cheaper if we
• 1:42:47
  Speaker 11: didn't live in New York with all their taxes and
• 1:42:50
  Speaker 11: fees that they put on gas.
• 1:42:52
  Speaker 1: That's right. It's true. $ 3. 99 is still pretty good. Okay,
• 1:42:55
  Speaker 1: give me, set the scene, Mike Lawler. I'm up on stage.
• 1:42:59
  Speaker 1: I'm hosting your gala tonight. I'm honored that you asked me.
• 1:43:01
  Speaker 1: I really am. You and Lorne Marie, thank you so much.
• 1:43:03
  Speaker 1: I'm honored.
• 1:43:04
  Speaker 11: You're welcome. We look forward to having you.
• 1:43:05
  Speaker 1: Me too. Can't wait. So set the scene about 9
• 1:43:09
  Speaker 1: o'clock tonight at the beautiful Pearl River Hilton with me
• 1:43:13
  Speaker 1: up there, you're up there. What does it look like?
• 1:43:16
  Speaker 1: What do we hear?
• 1:43:17
  Speaker 11: Well, we're going to obviously have the polls close at
• 1:43:21
  Speaker 11: nine here in New York. We'll start to get early
• 1:43:23
  Speaker 11: voting results around 930 or so across the district. And then,
• 1:43:28
  Speaker 11: you know, election district by election district, it's going to
• 1:43:32
  Speaker 11: pour in. We'll probably have a good idea around 10, 10.30
• 1:43:38
  Speaker 11: where this race is headed. But I feel very good
• 1:43:42
  Speaker 11: about it, and we're doing everything we can between now
• 1:43:45
  Speaker 11: and 9 o'clock to pull out the boat.
• 1:43:47
  Speaker 1: You're a great candidate, a great American, and a dear, dear, dear,
• 1:43:50
  Speaker 1: dear friend. I'm honored to be there tonight. We're going
• 1:43:52
  Speaker 1: to have fun. We're going to win. Mike Lawler, great
• 1:43:55
  Speaker 1: job as always, my friend. Thank you so much. Thanks, Sid.
• 1:43:57
  Speaker 11: See you tonight.
• 1:43:58
  Speaker 1: You're the man. Mike Lawler right there, the Pearl River Hilton.
• 1:44:01
  Speaker 1: I'm going to do the worm with Mike Lawler. Oh,
• 1:44:04
  Speaker 1: my God, Lewis. You mind if I dance with Joe Gate?
• 1:44:07
  Speaker 1: You know that scene. Come on. They did the worm, Lou.
• 1:44:10
  Speaker 1: Me and Lawler on the ground. Somebody better film it.
• 1:44:15
  Speaker 1: Somebody will film that for sure. Otis, my man. Otis,
• 1:44:18
  Speaker 1: my man, Otis. Mike Lawler right there. Still more to do.
• 1:44:22
  Speaker 1: We've got about 70 more minutes before I hand the
• 1:44:25
  Speaker 1: football off to Brian Kilmeade. We've got a spectacular show
• 1:44:28
  Speaker 1: all morning long. But the election day, we'll be here
• 1:44:31
  Speaker 1: in New York. We're not going to go on and
• 1:44:32
  Speaker 1: on about El Sayed. I don't live in Detroit, okay?
• 1:44:35
  Speaker 1: We covered it. We covered it a lot. But I
• 1:44:37
  Speaker 1: don't live in Detroit. I don't live in Austin. So,
• 1:44:41
  Speaker 1: Tallarico and Paxton, all these things matter. And they matter
• 1:44:46
  Speaker 1: in New York because they will shape the country. But
• 1:44:49
  Speaker 1: the reason why this show gets much higher ratings than
• 1:44:53
  Speaker 1: any other in this genre, any other, including shows on
• 1:44:56
  Speaker 1: this station, is because we concentrate on where you live.
• 1:45:01
  Speaker 1: We don't live in Detroit. We don't live in Maine. Okay?
• 1:45:05
  Speaker 1: We don't live in Boca. A lot of us do.
• 1:45:06
  Speaker 1: We go back and forth. We live in New York.
• 1:45:09
  Speaker 1: And you've heard from how many different candidates on this
• 1:45:12
  Speaker 1: show already this morning? How many? Okay? Congressional races, gubernatorial race,
• 1:45:17
  Speaker 1: senatorial races. Assembly races. We are the heartbeat of New York.
• 1:45:24
  Speaker 1: The other stuff, go watch Fox News. Knock yourself out.
• 1:45:26
  Speaker 1: I cover it. We do great with it. We have
• 1:45:29
  Speaker 1: guests on that are from all over the country, including
• 1:45:32
  Speaker 1: the President of the United States. But today, we need
• 1:45:35
  Speaker 1: to save New York. That's my job, to help us
• 1:45:39
  Speaker 1: save our state, save our city. And Bernadette Castro, another
• 1:45:44
  Speaker 1: great New Yorker, she's coming up next.
• 1:45:48
  Speaker 6: Sid and friends.
• 1:45:49
  Speaker 2: In the morning on the Red Apple Podcast Network.
• 1:45:53
  Speaker 1: One of the races we're all watching very, very closely
• 1:45:56
  Speaker 1: because we love this lady. She's great. Peter King loves her.
• 1:45:58
  Speaker 1: So do I. New York for congressional district out there
• 1:46:02
  Speaker 1: on Long Island. She's going to beat Laura Gillen today
• 1:46:04
  Speaker 1: is the very impressive Janine Driscoll. Janine, good morning. What
• 1:46:09
  Speaker 1: does your election day morning look like on Long Island today?
• 1:46:13
  Speaker 25: Hi, Sid. Great to hear your voice. I actually been out.
• 1:46:17
  Speaker 25: I've been up since five page with two friends. We
• 1:46:21
  Speaker 25: just did a News 12 live interview. And now we're
• 1:46:25
  Speaker 25: heading to a bunch of different Republican Club breakfast. Go
• 1:46:29
  Speaker 25: see Chairman Cairo soon. Going to see Peter King, Anthony D'Esposito.
• 1:46:33
  Speaker 25: We're all out together. So we are on the campaign
• 1:46:36
  Speaker 25: trail working it hard.
• 1:46:38
  Speaker 1: I got to imagine that later on tonight, you and
• 1:46:40
  Speaker 1: the Petri and all those people you just mentioned, you'll
• 1:46:43
  Speaker 1: all be together at the Lantern with Bruce Blakeman?
• 1:46:45
  Speaker 25: Absolutely, we will. Will we be seeing you there?
• 1:46:49
  Speaker 1: Well, I think the last minute Mike Lawler got me
• 1:46:51
  Speaker 1: to go to Rockland County to host his event and
• 1:46:54
  Speaker 1: actually host the whole night. It's a big deal, but...
• 1:46:56
  Speaker 1: You know I love all you guys so much. I'm
• 1:46:57
  Speaker 1: rooting for you. So you feel pretty good, Janine, on
• 1:47:00
  Speaker 1: this Election Day morning, yes?
• 1:47:02
  Speaker 25: I really do. We work so hard, and you know what?
• 1:47:06
  Speaker 25: I feel good. I feel like good will prevail, and
• 1:47:08
  Speaker 25: we are going to be winners, and Bruce Blakeman is
• 1:47:10
  Speaker 25: going to be the next governor.
• 1:47:11
  Speaker 1: From your mouth to God's ears, I hope so, and
• 1:47:13
  Speaker 1: I agree. Janine Driscoll, you run an amazing campaign. We
• 1:47:16
  Speaker 1: really love you here on the Sid Rosenberg in the
• 1:47:17
  Speaker 1: Morning Show. Bernadette Castro, good morning, sweetheart. How are you?
• 1:47:21
  Speaker 7: Oh, good morning, Sid, and I'll tell you what's interesting,
• 1:47:23
  Speaker 7: and I've been listening for a while. Every one of
• 1:47:26
  Speaker 7: your guests have the same request. Get out and vote.
• 1:47:31
  Speaker 7: And let me tell you, these polls that the liberal
• 1:47:34
  Speaker 7: print media, liberal television, you know, News 12, CNN, they're
• 1:47:40
  Speaker 7: trying to suppress the vote. It is voter suppression in
• 1:47:44
  Speaker 7: the worst kind. Do not worry about the polls. Here's
• 1:47:47
  Speaker 7: my reminder. George Pataki. On Election Day, 1994, Election Day,
• 1:47:54
  Speaker 7: the Daily News blasted a double-digit lead for Cuomo. And
• 1:47:59
  Speaker 7: guess what? Pataki won. Do not let these polls discourage you.
• 1:48:04
  Speaker 7: Do not let them get you down. Get out and
• 1:48:08
  Speaker 7: vote for Blakeman.
• 1:48:09
  Speaker 9: He is our.
• 1:48:10
  Speaker 7: Only really great hope for New York State. He reminds
• 1:48:14
  Speaker 7: me of Pataki. I worked for Pataki for 12 years.
• 1:48:17
  Speaker 7: I know a good governor when I see him. Blakeman
• 1:48:21
  Speaker 7: has got to win, and he can win. Stop the negativity.
• 1:48:25
  Speaker 7: Forget the polls. All the people I've talked to from
• 1:48:29
  Speaker 7: all walks of life, nobody's ever been polled.
• 1:48:32
  Speaker 1: Okay?
• 1:48:32
  Speaker 7: I don't know where they find these people.
• 1:48:34
  Speaker 1: Me either. Me either.
• 1:48:35
  Speaker 7: But they've never been polled. No.
• 1:48:37
  Speaker 1: Okay?
• 1:48:38
  Speaker 7: And I'm talking... All walks of life. So, you know,
• 1:48:41
  Speaker 7: this is ridiculous. Do not let that get you down.
• 1:48:44
  Speaker 7: Bruce has worked his butt off. He has gone into Manhattan.
• 1:48:49
  Speaker 7: He's gone into the Bronx. He's gone to Harlem. Gone
• 1:48:52
  Speaker 7: to Staten Island. Because why? Because he wants to help
• 1:48:56
  Speaker 7: every New Yorker. Kathy Hochul is bonding with a socialist.
• 1:49:02
  Speaker 7: What the hell? I mean, New Yorkers have to see this.
• 1:49:05
  Speaker 7: Bo Dietl's right. I mean, he gets so excited. God
• 1:49:07
  Speaker 7: bless him. okay and i love what water of course
• 1:49:10
  Speaker 7: the polls for him to don't worry about them the
• 1:49:14
  Speaker 7: best thing you can do for new york call republican
• 1:49:18
  Speaker 7: or independent friend or moderate democrat and get them to
• 1:49:22
  Speaker 7: the polls this race for blakeman will be one by
• 1:49:26
  Speaker 7: every republican getting out and voting by the independence which
• 1:49:30
  Speaker 7: he has by double digits and by moderate democrats democrats
• 1:49:35
  Speaker 7: that are not socialist democrats Like, we do have a
• 1:49:39
  Speaker 7: few in Congress, for sure. But only a few.
• 1:49:42
  Speaker 1: Only a few. Yeah, on one hand.
• 1:49:44
  Speaker 7: The bottom line is, we need some Democrats. We need them.
• 1:49:48
  Speaker 7: Get off their butt. Think clearly. And go vote Blakeman.
• 1:49:50
  Speaker 1: You know, you said something earlier in the conversation. You
• 1:49:53
  Speaker 1: worked for George Pataki, Bernadette, for 12 years. And you said,
• 1:49:56
  Speaker 1: you know, Bruce reminds me of George in many respects.
• 1:49:59
  Speaker 1: Give me a couple. Give me a couple.
• 1:50:02
  Speaker 7: Well, I'll tell you one thing. The way he is
• 1:50:05
  Speaker 7: socially inclusive... Pro-choice and obviously, you know, pro-gay in many ways. OK,
• 1:50:14
  Speaker 7: everybody should have civil rights. Everybody should have the great
• 1:50:18
  Speaker 7: state of New York behind them. And then he's fiscally conservative,
• 1:50:23
  Speaker 7: doesn't believe in high taxes for sure, wants to help business,
• 1:50:27
  Speaker 7: knows that people in New York need good jobs. That's
• 1:50:31
  Speaker 7: what they need. They don't need a handout. They need
• 1:50:34
  Speaker 7: a hand up. That's what Pataki used to say.
• 1:50:37
  Speaker 28: Right.
• 1:50:38
  Speaker 7: And Blakeman believes in that.
• 1:50:40
  Speaker 9: Yes.
• 1:50:41
  Speaker 7: Law enforcement. Same thing with Governor Pataki. You know, good
• 1:50:45
  Speaker 7: law enforcement. We've got so much in the way of
• 1:50:48
  Speaker 7: good cops. And, you know, Jessica is doing a great
• 1:50:51
  Speaker 7: job as police commissioner. But the bottom line is she
• 1:50:54
  Speaker 7: needs support. She's not getting it. None.
• 1:50:56
  Speaker 1: Zero.
• 1:50:57
  Speaker 7: She needs Albany support. She needs Blakeman.
• 1:51:02
  Speaker 1: So Blakeman, God forbid, doesn't win. You'll be voting for
• 1:51:04
  Speaker 1: people like Byron Donalds and Randy Fine soon.
• 1:51:08
  Speaker 7: Yeah, it's not good. And, you know, New Yorkers have
• 1:51:10
  Speaker 7: to get with it. As I've said before on your show,
• 1:51:12
  Speaker 7: I go to Florida. They think we're all socialists up here.
• 1:51:15
  Speaker 1: They don't.
• 1:51:16
  Speaker 7: Okay, it's ridiculous. It's embarrassing. We have to prove that
• 1:51:20
  Speaker 7: New York State is once again in a leadership position,
• 1:51:23
  Speaker 7: that we do what's right for everyone. And that's what
• 1:51:26
  Speaker 7: socially inclusive means. And, you know, the unions have backed Bruce.
• 1:51:31
  Speaker 7: You know, they understand that she really never tried to
• 1:51:34
  Speaker 7: negotiate and mediate. you know, strikes with the nurses union.
• 1:51:39
  Speaker 7: I mean, come on. She never got involved.
• 1:51:42
  Speaker 1: Not just the nurses, also the, you know, the police,
• 1:51:46
  Speaker 1: the officers in the prison. What do you call those
• 1:51:48
  Speaker 1: people again?
• 1:51:48
  Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, exactly.
• 1:51:50
  Speaker 1: Those people also struck, correction officers, right? You got the
• 1:51:54
  Speaker 1: horse and carriage industry about to go away. You know,
• 1:51:57
  Speaker 1: she's been a disaster with all these issues.
• 1:52:01
  Speaker 9: Right.
• 1:52:01
  Speaker 7: And job creation is going to help the economy. Reducing
• 1:52:05
  Speaker 7: taxes is going to help the economy. I mean, everybody's
• 1:52:08
  Speaker 7: pocket will feel the difference if Blakeman gets in. They're
• 1:52:13
  Speaker 7: going to feel it. You know, give him a year.
• 1:52:15
  Speaker 7: I mean, he's got to pass a legislation, but he will.
• 1:52:18
  Speaker 7: And some things he's doing by executive order. Like he said,
• 1:52:21
  Speaker 7: the first thing on his desk is, you know, get
• 1:52:24
  Speaker 7: rid of this sanctuary state. Right.
• 1:52:26
  Speaker 9: Yep.
• 1:52:27
  Speaker 13: Yep.
• 1:52:28
  Speaker 7: OK, so he's got other executive orders that he can
• 1:52:31
  Speaker 7: use and he will use them. for the sake of
• 1:52:34
  Speaker 7: all New Yorkers, not a few, not a segment, but
• 1:52:37
  Speaker 7: everyone in every county and every borough. That's like Pataki was.
• 1:52:44
  Speaker 7: He loved the people of New York, all of them.
• 1:52:49
  Speaker 7: He didn't judge them. Bruce Blakeman will do the same.
• 1:52:52
  Speaker 7: He's not going to judge anyone. He's just going to
• 1:52:55
  Speaker 7: fight for them. He's going to absolutely lead this state
• 1:52:59
  Speaker 7: back to where it should be. And, you know, I mean,
• 1:53:03
  Speaker 7: I just want everyone to vote and grab somebody with you.
• 1:53:06
  Speaker 7: Take someone to the polls. Go back to the polls
• 1:53:09
  Speaker 7: with somebody. That's the greatest service you can do for
• 1:53:11
  Speaker 7: democracy today.
• 1:53:13
  Speaker 1: That's the best message of all. Make sure you vote
• 1:53:15
  Speaker 1: and grab a couple of people. Bernadette Castro has always
• 1:53:17
  Speaker 1: an amazing job. We love you. Thank you for stopping
• 1:53:19
  Speaker 1: by this morning, and hopefully I can call you, text
• 1:53:22
  Speaker 1: you tonight, and celebrate. Let's hope, okay?
• 1:53:24
  Speaker 7: Oh, it'd be great. All right. Thank you so much, Sid.
• 1:53:26
  Speaker 7: Take care.
• 1:53:27
  Speaker 1: All right, sweetheart. Take care. We love that lady, Bernadette Castro.
• 1:53:30
  Speaker 1: She's very smart, too. Very smart. We've got to get
• 1:53:32
  Speaker 1: to the news. We've got more guests stopping by. You'll
• 1:53:34
  Speaker 1: hear from more local candidates. It's been a great show
• 1:53:37
  Speaker 1: from Bernadette Castro to Bo Dietl to Brian Kilmeade to
• 1:53:42
  Speaker 1: Joe Hernandez running for Comptroller, Mike Lawler running for Congress,
• 1:53:47
  Speaker 1: and all the local candidates who have chimed in as well.
• 1:53:49
  Speaker 1: It's been a terrific three-plus hours. We're not done yet.
• 1:53:53
  Speaker 2: Sid and Friends in the Morning on the Red Apple
• 1:53:56
  Speaker 2: Podcast Network.
• 1:53:58
  Speaker 1: Well, you all know I hosted that big event at
• 1:54:00
  Speaker 1: the Bell Harbor Yacht Club last Wednesday night for my
• 1:54:03
  Speaker 1: dear friend Tom Sullivan. Thomas, a family friend. Michael was there.
• 1:54:07
  Speaker 1: Brian was there. All of them. He got jobbed. He
• 1:54:10
  Speaker 1: got jobbed at least once against Amato. I do think
• 1:54:13
  Speaker 1: Thomas Sullivan wins today that 23rd Assembly. It's the 23rd District.
• 1:54:19
  Speaker 1: He's running for Assembly. Thomas Sullivan. Tom, good Election Day morning.
• 1:54:23
  Speaker 1: How are you feeling today?
• 1:54:24
  Speaker 22: We're feeling great. Going in strong.
• 1:54:27
  Speaker 1: Tonight you've got your big party at the Blarney, I know,
• 1:54:30
  Speaker 1: in Breezy Point. But in the end, why do you
• 1:54:33
  Speaker 1: think you're going to beat Pesach Osina today? later on today?
• 1:54:36
  Speaker 22: I tell you, we've been on the street so much
• 1:54:39
  Speaker 22: in the last six months and just the encouragement from
• 1:54:43
  Speaker 22: people and the appreciation for coming back. The name recognition
• 1:54:48
  Speaker 22: has built significantly over the last six years and they
• 1:54:53
  Speaker 22: see I haven't given up and social media has expanded
• 1:54:58
  Speaker 22: dramatically and just overwhelmingly positive comments that we got your back.
• 1:55:04
  Speaker 1: Well, Thomas, I think you are primed for victory today.
• 1:55:07
  Speaker 1: I really do. You're a wonderful guy, war hero, served
• 1:55:11
  Speaker 1: this country proudly, saved lives on 9-11. And of course,
• 1:55:14
  Speaker 1: I'm friends with you and your family for almost five decades.
• 1:55:17
  Speaker 1: So I'm kind of biased here. Thomas Sullivan, good luck today.
• 1:55:21
  Speaker 1: We'll see you in the assembly.
• 1:55:23
  Speaker 28: Absolutely.
• 1:55:24
  Speaker 22: Looking forward to the results.
• 1:55:26
  Speaker 1: All right, Tom. Take care, buddy. There he is, the
• 1:55:28
  Speaker 1: great Tom Sullivan. Go out and vote for Tom Sullivan.
• 1:55:32
  Speaker 1: There was a fight over some nonsense. I don't know.
• 1:55:34
  Speaker 1: The whole thing was ridiculous, to be honest. I don't
• 1:55:37
  Speaker 1: know all these people that are running. I know in Queens,
• 1:55:40
  Speaker 1: where we live, me and Louis, I know who's running.
• 1:55:44
  Speaker 1: You know, the propositions on the back of these ballots,
• 1:55:48
  Speaker 1: you know, you watch New York One, and they'll tell
• 1:55:52
  Speaker 1: you that those props, and New York One's a communist channel,
• 1:55:56
  Speaker 1: we know that, okay? Communism. They will tell you that
• 1:56:00
  Speaker 1: they're there to help the state, or the city, I
• 1:56:03
  Speaker 1: should say, the city, run smoother. That's what they tell you.
• 1:56:08
  Speaker 1: So when they say that, these bastards, Errol Lewis and
• 1:56:11
  Speaker 1: these people, they are... at least intimating that you should
• 1:56:18
  Speaker 1: vote yes. Now, if you're like Sid Rosenberg, good morning,
• 1:56:23
  Speaker 1: Michael Cohen. Good job with Schenkel today. Good job. Very
• 1:56:26
  Speaker 1: good job. You did well. Thank you. If you're like
• 1:56:29
  Speaker 1: Sid and you hate the mayor, you hate the mayor,
• 1:56:31
  Speaker 1: you don't vote yes on these propositions because when you
• 1:56:37
  Speaker 1: really read into these, all it does is give the
• 1:56:41
  Speaker 1: mayor more power. So let me do a little poll
• 1:56:46
  Speaker 1: on my show, okay? Noam Layton, would you like to
• 1:56:49
  Speaker 1: see Mayor Mamdani? No.
• 1:56:52
  Speaker 23: No.
• 1:56:52
  Speaker 24: Yeah.
• 1:56:53
  Speaker 1: I think it looks good with just the mustache, by
• 1:56:54
  Speaker 1: the way, without the beard. What do you think?
• 1:56:56
  Speaker 6: Better with the beard.
• 1:56:57
  Speaker 1: Better with the beard, okay. Justin Eilert, more power? Mamdani? No.
• 1:57:01
  Speaker 7: No.
• 1:57:02
  Speaker 1: Lou Ruffino?
• 1:57:03
  Speaker 24: No.
• 1:57:04
  Speaker 1: I mean, come on.
• 1:57:05
  Speaker 2: But it's a good porn stash he's got going.
• 1:57:07
  Speaker 1: He does have a good porn stash going, yeah. Some people...
• 1:57:10
  Speaker 1: It looks disgusting. On Instagram, they put up pictures of
• 1:57:12
  Speaker 1: him and Hitler... It's not Willie Hitler mustache, though, is it?
• 1:57:15
  Speaker 9: No.
• 1:57:15
  Speaker 1: They look alike.
• 1:57:16
  Speaker 27: I shave my face like that when I'm trying to
• 1:57:18
  Speaker 27: be funny.
• 1:57:19
  Speaker 1: Right, when you're drunk or high. Yeah, I've seen that.
• 1:57:23
  Speaker 9: Yes.
• 1:57:23
  Speaker 1: And it is pretty funny. So all of us agree
• 1:57:25
  Speaker 1: that you're voting no to these pops because all they
• 1:57:28
  Speaker 1: do is give the mayor more power. So vote no
• 1:57:30
  Speaker 1: on all five.
• 1:57:31
  Speaker 6: Wait, do we want to vote no? I just want
• 1:57:32
  Speaker 6: to make sure because they make it so confusing you
• 1:57:34
  Speaker 6: don't know whether you're voting for.
• 1:57:35
  Speaker 1: Vote no.
• 1:57:35
  Speaker 6: Listen to me carefully.
• 1:57:37
  Speaker 1: Like Nancy Reagan once said, what did she say?
• 1:57:40
  Speaker 6: She said, just say no.
• 1:57:41
  Speaker 1: Very well done. Gabriel Boxer checks in, the kosher guru.
• 1:57:44
  Speaker 1: He says, remember, the aid from the U.S. to Israel
• 1:57:49
  Speaker 1: has to be spent only back in the United States
• 1:57:52
  Speaker 1: on defense items from U.S. companies, which only helps the U.S.
• 1:57:57
  Speaker 1: economy and jobs in the U.S.A. Oh, Gabe gets it.
• 1:58:02
  Speaker 1: All you stupid anti-Semites out there that are always complaining,
• 1:58:05
  Speaker 1: why are we giving Israel $ 4 billion? It comes back
• 1:58:09
  Speaker 1: here soon. stupid. It also goes with Israel sharing intelligence
• 1:58:14
  Speaker 1: with the United States, which is very vital to the
• 1:58:17
  Speaker 1: security of U.S. interests. Just as President Trump, Israel has
• 1:58:22
  Speaker 1: already unfolded two assassination plots. Right, Noam?
• 1:58:28
  Speaker 6: Two assassination plots is correct.
• 1:58:30
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 1:58:30
  Speaker 1: So, see, the anti-Semites, they don't know anything. That $ 4 billion,
• 1:58:36
  Speaker 1: a ton of that gets re-spent here. And then the intelligence,
• 1:58:42
  Speaker 1: you can't even put a dollar value on that. There's
• 1:58:45
  Speaker 1: no other country in the world that comes close. Is
• 1:58:49
  Speaker 1: that not fair to say no?
• 1:58:50
  Speaker 6: Well, and add in that it's the only democracy in
• 1:58:52
  Speaker 6: the Middle East, so let's help them stay that way.
• 1:58:55
  Speaker 1: But here's the point, because I think I shocked Peter
• 1:58:57
  Speaker 1: King this morning because Peter was upset, and I understand
• 1:58:59
  Speaker 1: why Peter's upset. I'm not upset. Because the truth is,
• 1:59:02
  Speaker 1: here's another shocking point. Shows you why BB's so amazing.
• 1:59:07
  Speaker 1: They've been war-torn for three years. Torn, bombed in the north,
• 1:59:12
  Speaker 1: murdered in the south. Wars in Judea and Samaria. Do
• 1:59:17
  Speaker 1: you know how well their economy is doing, Noam?
• 1:59:20
  Speaker 6: It's kicking ass.
• 1:59:21
  Speaker 1: Kicking ass! They don't need it. They don't want to
• 1:59:25
  Speaker 1: hear about it anymore. I'm sure Bibi is like, I
• 1:59:28
  Speaker 1: don't want to hear about it anymore. Don't give me
• 1:59:30
  Speaker 1: your billions of dollars. We don't need it. So Trump
• 1:59:32
  Speaker 1: and Bibi go, listen, truth is you guys don't need it, okay?
• 1:59:36
  Speaker 1: Even though we know it comes back to the United States.
• 1:59:38
  Speaker 1: These morons don't say that. So why give the anti-Semites,
• 1:59:43
  Speaker 1: all those idiots on television and on Twitter and amongst us,
• 1:59:49
  Speaker 1: give them any ammunition? Don't worry about it. You'll be fine.
• 1:59:53
  Speaker 1: BB said we will be fine. BB's already on record
• 1:59:56
  Speaker 1: saying we don't want the money. This is not a
• 1:59:59
  Speaker 1: new story, folks. This was discussed months ago publicly. BB
• 2:00:04
  Speaker 1: said we don't we don't want the money. We don't
• 2:00:05
  Speaker 1: need it. So then what are they going to say, Noam?
• 2:00:09
  Speaker 1: Then what?
• 2:00:09
  Speaker 6: Well, I think the only thing I would say is
• 2:00:11
  Speaker 6: it would have been helpful to make this announcement. earlier
• 2:00:14
  Speaker 6: on during the campaign because some republicans are really being.
• 2:00:17
  Speaker 12: You know bashed over this whole thing yeah.
• 2:00:19
  Speaker 6: So if all of a sudden we can take that
• 2:00:21
  Speaker 6: just whole story of the middle east and israel off
• 2:00:23
  Speaker 6: the table that's one less thing they got to deal with.
• 2:00:26
  Speaker 1: That's a good point uh so we'll see why they're
• 2:00:28
  Speaker 1: going to talk to um somebody in israel about this
• 2:00:31
  Speaker 1: or maybe hank shankoff about the local elections we just
• 2:00:34
  Speaker 1: don't know that's the beauty of this show it's part
• 2:00:37
  Speaker 1: of the promo The reason why this show does so
• 2:00:39
  Speaker 1: well is the unpredictability. I don't even know. You never know.
• 2:00:43
  Speaker 1: I don't even know. I have no idea what's coming
• 2:00:46
  Speaker 1: up next. I'm waiting on Alec. So we'll take a
• 2:00:48
  Speaker 1: short break. Wow, you could be waiting a while. And
• 2:00:51
  Speaker 1: I'm waiting on a couple of other people. We're going
• 2:00:55
  Speaker 1: to find out.
• 2:00:56

  Speaker 1: How do you feel about the Republican chances tonight?
• 2:01:30
  Speaker 26: You know, it's a toss-up. What was supposed to be
• 2:01:35
  Speaker 26: a blue tidal wave... Turns out not to be that
• 2:01:38
  Speaker 26: blue tsunami. Maybe at best it'll be a blue trinkle,
• 2:01:42
  Speaker 26: and that's what we're really looking for. At worst, hopefully,
• 2:01:46
  Speaker 26: they're able to keep the house, though historically that's doubtful.
• 2:01:50
  Speaker 1: Right, I'm with you. Historically it is doubtful.
• 2:01:52
  Speaker 26: I do want to say, Sid.
• 2:01:53
  Speaker 1: Yes, what's that?
• 2:01:55
  Speaker 26: I came in and I took over the studio, knocking
• 2:01:57
  Speaker 26: on your door. I was with Caroline Schenkel since 6.30
• 2:02:00
  Speaker 26: this morning. Literally got up at 4.30 in the morning.
• 2:02:02
  Speaker 26: I had to write my sub stack, the whole bit.
• 2:02:04
  Speaker 26: I got out there. I met her. She was a
• 2:02:05
  Speaker 26: few minutes late. That's okay. We love her anyway. We
• 2:02:08
  Speaker 26: literally walked the area.
• 2:02:10
  Speaker 7: And.
• 2:02:11
  Speaker 26: All of a sudden, she says to me, oh, Sid
• 2:02:14
  Speaker 26: Rosenberg wants me on his show. I said, you got
• 2:02:17
  Speaker 26: to do Sid's show. Number one, Nielsen rated, right? For
• 2:02:20
  Speaker 26: the week. By the way, I happen to be number
• 2:02:22
  Speaker 26: one Nielsen rated for the weekend. So you got the
• 2:02:24
  Speaker 26: number ones here.
• 2:02:25
  Speaker 1: Two number ones.
• 2:02:26
  Speaker 26: Two number ones. All of a sudden- People said, wait, wait,
• 2:02:29
  Speaker 26: is that Sid Rosenberg? I'm not joking here. They turned around.
• 2:02:32
  Speaker 26: They were like, who's she talking to? I said, she's
• 2:02:34
  Speaker 26: talking to Sid Rosenberg.
• 2:02:36
  Speaker 1: Oh, my God.
• 2:02:36
  Speaker 26: Tell Sid we love him. And I'm not talking about Sid.
• 2:02:39
  Speaker 26: And I hate stroking your ego because it's pretty big already.
• 2:02:42
  Speaker 26: So all of a sudden, people start calling, wait, wait,
• 2:02:44
  Speaker 26: she's talking to Sid. Can we tell Sid? And then
• 2:02:46
  Speaker 26: all of a sudden, you would hear it in the background.
• 2:02:48
  Speaker 26: People screaming, we love Sid.
• 2:02:49
  Speaker 1: We love Sid.
• 2:02:50
  Speaker 26: And I turned around. I was like, you know what?
• 2:02:52
  Speaker 26: Maybe Sid should run for office. And you know what
• 2:02:54
  Speaker 26: they all said in unison?
• 2:02:56
  Speaker 1: In unison.
• 2:02:57
  Speaker 26: We'd vote for him tomorrow. I said, but tomorrow's not
• 2:03:00
  Speaker 26: the election.
• 2:03:01
  Speaker 19: Right.
• 2:03:01
  Speaker 1: Tomorrow's not going to work.
• 2:03:02
  Speaker 26: So I said, fine, next time.
• 2:03:04
  Speaker 1: You know, I'm actually thinking about it. I don't know.
• 2:03:07
  Speaker 1: I'm sure you thought about it over. So I did.
• 2:03:10
  Speaker 26: And my wife and my children both said to me, no.
• 2:03:13
  Speaker 1: Same thing here.
• 2:03:14
  Speaker 26: Absolutely not.
• 2:03:15
  Speaker 1: Mine was worse. Mine was like, not only no, but.
• 2:03:17
  Speaker 1: Look for another wife.
• 2:03:18
  Speaker 26: By the way, like I'm leaving.
• 2:03:19
  Speaker 1: I hate to say it.
• 2:03:20
  Speaker 26: Mine said the same thing. My children said we cannot
• 2:03:22
  Speaker 26: go through that again.
• 2:03:24
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 2:03:24
  Speaker 26: What unfortunately happened to me.
• 2:03:26
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 2:03:27
  Speaker 26: They were like, we never want to be a part
• 2:03:28
  Speaker 26: of that again, which is bad. And that's why I
• 2:03:31
  Speaker 26: support Caroline Schenkel, because number one, I'm a lifelong Democrat.
• 2:03:36
  Speaker 26: She's a Republican. But she's sensible. MIT, Harvard Law. She's pro-Israel.
• 2:03:42
  Speaker 26: She's anti-MAGA. She's everything sensible that District 12 needs. And
• 2:03:46
  Speaker 26: I'm a District 12 guy now for like 30 years.
• 2:03:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you live in that beautiful building. I know exactly
• 2:03:51
  Speaker 1: where you live. On the way out, one more for you.
• 2:03:54
  Speaker 1: Blakeman versus Hochul. What do you think?
• 2:03:56
  Speaker 26: I'm hopeful for Blakeman, right? I do really believe it.
• 2:04:01
  Speaker 26: I wish that they had done a few things different
• 2:04:03
  Speaker 26: during the campaign, but he's solid.
• 2:04:05
  Speaker 1: She's the worst.
• 2:04:07
  Speaker 26: My biggest fear is if Hochul wins, I'm not so
• 2:04:11
  Speaker 26: sure that New York wins.
• 2:04:13
  Speaker 1: No, we're dead.
• 2:04:14
  Speaker 26: We're dead. Yeah, I didn't want to say it that way,
• 2:04:17
  Speaker 26: but you say it, Sid.
• 2:04:17
  Speaker 1: No, we're dead.
• 2:04:18
  Speaker 26: I think we're in real serious. As my grandmother and
• 2:04:20
  Speaker 26: my parents would say, we're in real serious.
• 2:04:25
  Speaker 1: I heard that many times as a kid as well. Mike,
• 2:04:27
  Speaker 1: you've been a great addition. You're doing a great job here. Willie, seriously,
• 2:04:29
  Speaker 1: thank you so much for having me.
• 2:04:30
  Speaker 26: You are widely loved, not just here at WABC, but
• 2:04:33
  Speaker 26: on the streets as well.
• 2:04:34
  Speaker 1: Thank you, Michael. You too.
• 2:04:35
  Speaker 9: Thank you.
• 2:04:35
  Speaker 1: That is Michael Cohen. Check him out tonight. Does a
• 2:04:37
  Speaker 1: terrific job. He really does. He'll be with John Katzmatidis
• 2:04:40
  Speaker 1: and the whole crew till 1 o'clock in the morning.
• 2:04:42
  Speaker 1: Let's go to Israel now. Go to Jerusalem. Alex Freeman
• 2:04:44
  Speaker 1: is standing by. No more aid to Israel. That's what
• 2:04:47
  Speaker 1: Trump said this morning. I'm not upset about it. I
• 2:04:51
  Speaker 1: think it's good. I know you guys don't need the money.
• 2:04:53
  Speaker 1: I'm sick of hearing the anti-Semites complain all the time.
• 2:04:56
  Speaker 1: Why did we give Israel $ 4 billion? Blah, blah, blah.
• 2:05:00
  Speaker 1: Now there's nothing to complain about. What are your thoughts
• 2:05:03
  Speaker 1: on Trump's statements, Alex Draymond, this morning?
• 2:05:07
  Speaker 20: Well, good morning, Sid.
• 2:05:09
  Speaker 24: We've known in Israel that it was going to be
• 2:05:11
  Speaker 24: time to wind down the military aid to Israel. It
• 2:05:15
  Speaker 24: doesn't mean that we are winding down the defense alliance
• 2:05:19
  Speaker 24: between Israel and the United States or the winding down
• 2:05:23
  Speaker 24: of weapons procurement from the United States, but we don't
• 2:05:26
  Speaker 24: need to get money from the United States in order
• 2:05:29
  Speaker 24: to buy weapons. People should understand, by the way, that
• 2:05:32
  Speaker 24: When we get $ 3. 8 billion a year to buy weapons,
• 2:05:35
  Speaker 24: nearly 100% of that money is spent back in the
• 2:05:38
  Speaker 24: United States, so it is a subsidy for the U.S.
• 2:05:40
  Speaker 1: Defense industry. Say that again. So, I know I heard
• 2:05:44
  Speaker 1: you correctly. I've been saying it all morning long. You
• 2:05:46
  Speaker 1: get $ 3. 8 billion, but the money, in essence, not even
• 2:05:50
  Speaker 1: in essence, the money is reinvested in the United States.
• 2:05:55
  Speaker 24: Absolutely. And when Israel, by the way, is forced to
• 2:05:58
  Speaker 24: buy equipment in the United States... So Israel is not
• 2:06:02
  Speaker 24: necessarily buying that at fair market value, right? The suppliers
• 2:06:06
  Speaker 24: can say, oh, you need fuel for an F-35 or
• 2:06:10
  Speaker 24: you need uniforms. These are the list prices, and they
• 2:06:13
  Speaker 24: can give whatever list prices they want, and Israel is
• 2:06:15
  Speaker 24: going to buy it because they have to spend the
• 2:06:18
  Speaker 24: money in the United States. So Israel can't say, like, okay,
• 2:06:21
  Speaker 24: we're going to buy uniforms in China, but they're going
• 2:06:23
  Speaker 24: to buy them in the United States because they're getting $ 3. 8
• 2:06:25
  Speaker 24: billion to spend money in the United States. at whatever
• 2:06:30
  Speaker 24: price they're being given for the cost of the uniforms
• 2:06:33
  Speaker 24: that the soldiers are wearing. So that's something people don't
• 2:06:37
  Speaker 24: really understand. But there is a 10-year MOU, a 10-year deal,
• 2:06:43
  Speaker 24: a $ 38 billion deal, and that expires in the middle
• 2:06:46
  Speaker 24: of 2028. So we know that Israel is going to
• 2:06:50
  Speaker 24: try to negotiate some different kind of a deal. Maybe
• 2:06:54
  Speaker 24: there's some kind of, let's say, joint deal. U S
• 2:06:57
  Speaker 24: Israel defense funds were both Israel and the United States
• 2:07:01
  Speaker 24: are putting money in for, uh, weapons systems, such as
• 2:07:06
  Speaker 24: the iron dome, right? Both countries are going to put
• 2:07:08
  Speaker 24: money in, they're going to do R and D manufacturing
• 2:07:11
  Speaker 24: and Israel gets weapons and the United States gets the
• 2:07:14
  Speaker 24: benefit of that. Um, but we thought that that was
• 2:07:17
  Speaker 24: going to be the next MOU, which was going to
• 2:07:19
  Speaker 24: be entered into in 2028. So what Trump is saying here, uh,
• 2:07:24
  Speaker 24: either it's a mistake, And he's not going to wind
• 2:07:26
  Speaker 24: down the aid until.
• 2:07:28
  Speaker 3: The end of the MOU.
• 2:07:29
  Speaker 24: Or he's saying, I've talked to Bibi and we're going
• 2:07:32
  Speaker 24: to actually cut short the MOU and we're going to
• 2:07:37
  Speaker 24: change the arrangement immediately.
• 2:07:38
  Speaker 1: But you just said something very important. I talked to Bibi.
• 2:07:41
  Speaker 1: So for the idiots out there that are like, President
• 2:07:43
  Speaker 1: Trump hates Israel too. See, he's had enough of Israel.
• 2:07:46
  Speaker 1: He's cutting them off. I mean, they're so stupid. I'm
• 2:07:49
  Speaker 1: tired of calling them stupid. He's not doing any of that.
• 2:07:52
  Speaker 1: You just said it. He probably, he spoke to Bibi
• 2:07:55
  Speaker 1: and they came to this conclusion. No matter what President
• 2:07:58
  Speaker 1: Trump does. he's speaking to Bibi and in the end,
• 2:08:02
  Speaker 1: Bibi and Israel, they're going to sign off on this.
• 2:08:05
  Speaker 1: He doesn't hate Israel, right?
• 2:08:09
  Speaker 24: People don't realize just how much the United States and
• 2:08:12
  Speaker 24: Israel are on the same page on everything relating to
• 2:08:15
  Speaker 24: military and the U.S.-Israel alliance. It doesn't mean that they
• 2:08:18
  Speaker 24: always agree, okay? There could be differences between what Benjamin Netanyahu,
• 2:08:23
  Speaker 24: the prime minister of this tiny state in the Middle
• 2:08:25
  Speaker 24: East called Israel, thinks is Israel's strategic interest versus what
• 2:08:29
  Speaker 24: Donald Trump, the president of the world's greatest superpower in
• 2:08:32
  Speaker 24: the United States, feels is in America's interest. Those interests
• 2:08:35
  Speaker 24: don't always align perfectly, but more or less, on the
• 2:08:40
  Speaker 24: big issues they do like or the reach arrangements.
• 2:08:44
  Speaker 20: But the idea that.
• 2:08:45
  Speaker 24: Trump is angry at Bibi, is doing things that Bibi
• 2:08:49
  Speaker 24: doesn't want him to do by surprise, that's ridiculous. I mean,
• 2:08:53
  Speaker 24: Trump came out and endorsed Bibi not once but twice.
• 2:08:57
  Speaker 24: These guys are speaking constantly about what's going to take
• 2:09:00
  Speaker 24: place in Iran, potentially in the next days or weeks
• 2:09:03
  Speaker 24: or months ahead. And certainly when it comes to the
• 2:09:06
  Speaker 24: weapons deal, Between the United States and Israel, there's no
• 2:09:11
  Speaker 24: surprises here. Anything that's being announced, if this is actually
• 2:09:14
  Speaker 24: going into full effect, has been fully, fully discussed between
• 2:09:18
  Speaker 24: the two parties.
• 2:09:19
  Speaker 1: And publicly. So there's no surprise in Israel today. Fox
• 2:09:22
  Speaker 1: News puts out the quote like, oh, my God, look
• 2:09:25
  Speaker 1: at this. But you and I talked about this months ago.
• 2:09:27
  Speaker 1: We've heard it both from Trump and Bibi. So this
• 2:09:30
  Speaker 1: is no great surprise today for Israelis, is it?
• 2:09:34
  Speaker 24: Well, I don't know if it's a great surprise. I mean,
• 2:09:36
  Speaker 24: the timing for Bibi of this announcement is probably not
• 2:09:39
  Speaker 24: good as he's trying to form a government in a
• 2:09:43
  Speaker 24: very complicated negotiations now.
• 2:09:47
  Speaker 22: That may happen.
• 2:09:48
  Speaker 24: Because we turn up our election.
• 2:09:50
  Speaker 1: So, you know, let me stop you like that. But
• 2:09:53
  Speaker 1: why is a why is the timing not good when
• 2:09:56
  Speaker 1: Israel when Bibi says, look, since I've been in power,
• 2:09:59
  Speaker 1: we now have the ability to stand on our own
• 2:10:02
  Speaker 1: two feet. We don't need the United States to walk
• 2:10:06
  Speaker 1: us across the street every single time.
• 2:10:08
  Speaker 20: You're totally right.
• 2:10:09
  Speaker 24: But right now, when we're in this hypersensitive moment, you
• 2:10:15
  Speaker 24: know that all the left-wing media, the anti-Netanyahu media, which
• 2:10:18
  Speaker 24: is most of the media in Israel, they're going to
• 2:10:21
  Speaker 24: spin this and they're going to say, look, Netanyahu has
• 2:10:25
  Speaker 24: messed up the relationship with Donald Trump to the point
• 2:10:28
  Speaker 24: where Donald Trump surprised Netanyahu and is cutting off the
• 2:10:32
  Speaker 24: aid before the end of the MOU. What a disaster
• 2:10:36
  Speaker 24: in diplomacy.
• 2:10:37
  Speaker 20: So even though If not.
• 2:10:39
  Speaker 24: In reality, all the headlines are going to be, I'm certain,
• 2:10:43
  Speaker 24: in the next hours, all criticizing Netanyahu. But you understand
• 2:10:47
  Speaker 24: the timing for Trump because Trump.
• 2:10:50
  Speaker 20: Is just ahead of the midterms.
• 2:10:51
  Speaker 24: It's on the day of the midterms here. So he's
• 2:10:55
  Speaker 24: trying to make Americans know that. Israel's not the tail
• 2:11:00
  Speaker 24: wagging the dog of U.S. foreign policy. So that's why
• 2:11:05
  Speaker 24: he's making that announcement. So it probably helps Trump in
• 2:11:08
  Speaker 24: the midterms. It probably harms Bibi just in terms of
• 2:11:11
  Speaker 24: the timing of the announcement. But Sid, I think you
• 2:11:13
  Speaker 24: got it 100 percent right. Israel has graduated. Israel was
• 2:11:17
  Speaker 24: a developing country, didn't have money. Under Prime Minister Netanyahu
• 2:11:21
  Speaker 24: in the last several decades, Israel has emerged as an economic, military,
• 2:11:27
  Speaker 24: technological superpower.
• 2:11:29
  Speaker 4: The $ 3.
• 2:11:29
  Speaker 24: 8 billion is less than 2% of the annual GDP
• 2:11:33
  Speaker 24: in the state of Israel. Israel can afford to buy
• 2:11:35
  Speaker 24: any and all weapons it needs to survive, doesn't need
• 2:11:39
  Speaker 24: to get aid, even if those aid dollars are a
• 2:11:41
  Speaker 24: good investment for the United States and all those dollars.
• 2:11:44
  Speaker 20: Are spent back.
• 2:11:45
  Speaker 24: In the United States with U.S. defense industry.
• 2:11:47
  Speaker 1: I think you're right, too. The timing for Trump makes sense.
• 2:11:51
  Speaker 1: And although it gives somebody like Abdul El-Sayed something to
• 2:11:54
  Speaker 1: lie about again today, like you just said, like they're
• 2:11:56
  Speaker 1: doing Israel on the left, and it may hurt Bibi.
• 2:11:59
  Speaker 1: But again, you know, what are you going to do
• 2:12:00
  Speaker 1: with the leftists? They're lunatics. They're crazy. On the way out,
• 2:12:03
  Speaker 1: are you paying very, very close attention? You're a New Yorker, Trayman.
• 2:12:06
  Speaker 1: You love the Knicks. Are you paying very, very close attention,
• 2:12:10
  Speaker 1: even in Jerusalem today, to this governor race between Blakeman
• 2:12:13
  Speaker 1: and Hochul?
• 2:12:15
  Speaker 24: Well, absolutely. We're watching very, very closely. For the state
• 2:12:19
  Speaker 24: of Israel, the state and the city with the most
• 2:12:22
  Speaker 24: Jews outside of the state of Israel is in New York.
• 2:12:26
  Speaker 24: So we're watching very, very closely. We care a lot
• 2:12:29
  Speaker 24: about the overall safety of the New York Jews and
• 2:12:34
  Speaker 24: the U.S. Jewish population in general. And so we are watching.
• 2:12:39
  Speaker 24: I think for all Israelis, they want to see What's
• 2:12:43
  Speaker 24: happening naturally in New York? I'll tell you, a lot
• 2:12:45
  Speaker 24: of people are following this El-Said race here. We think
• 2:12:48
  Speaker 24: it's a bellwether for the direction that the United States
• 2:12:51
  Speaker 24: is heading, not just today, but in the next several years.
• 2:12:56
  Speaker 24: And we want to see if New Yorkers, if Americans...
• 2:12:59
  Speaker 24: want to stand up for American and Western values, which
• 2:13:04
  Speaker 24: we think align very well with Israel's values. Or are
• 2:13:09
  Speaker 24: Americans and New Yorkers going to vote again to sabotage
• 2:13:13
  Speaker 24: themselves and their success? And that doesn't bode well for
• 2:13:16
  Speaker 24: the United States or for Western civilization or for the
• 2:13:19
  Speaker 24: state of Israel.
• 2:13:19
  Speaker 1: Boy, you just said it perfectly that the Michigan race
• 2:13:22
  Speaker 1: really is that shapes the country that tells you exactly
• 2:13:26
  Speaker 1: what direction we're heading in. And if he wins, it
• 2:13:28
  Speaker 1: will be disastrous. I know it's only one guy, one
• 2:13:31
  Speaker 1: race in one state, but it would be disastrous. Alex Trayman,
• 2:13:36
  Speaker 1: as always, we call you late out of nowhere and
• 2:13:39
  Speaker 1: you hop on and you do an amazing job. I
• 2:13:41
  Speaker 1: love you, brother. Thank you for this today. And we'll
• 2:13:44
  Speaker 1: talk to you again very, very soon.
• 2:13:46
  Speaker 24: Love you too, Sid.
• 2:13:47
  Speaker 11: Speak to you soon.
• 2:13:48
  Speaker 1: God bless you. Alex Trayman right there, the CEO of JNS.org
• 2:13:50
  Speaker 1: and He says what I said. This is not a
• 2:13:53
  Speaker 1: big deal. Everybody knew about it. You know, the timing,
• 2:13:55
  Speaker 1: like he said, you know, Trump always wants to try
• 2:13:57
  Speaker 1: to distance himself just a little bit from Israel because,
• 2:14:00
  Speaker 1: you know, he wants to make sure that he's America first.
• 2:14:03
  Speaker 1: You know, I get called, sit Israel first. It's so stupid.
• 2:14:06
  Speaker 1: It's so stupid. They do the same thing to Trump.
• 2:14:08
  Speaker 1: So distance themselves just a little bit on BBSM probably
• 2:14:11
  Speaker 1: doesn't help. But in the end, this is not a
• 2:14:13
  Speaker 1: big deal, not a big surprise. If anything, if you
• 2:14:16
  Speaker 1: are pro-Israel, you stand proud like I am today because
• 2:14:20
  Speaker 1: we don't need the help. OK, bottom line, we don't
• 2:14:23
  Speaker 1: need the help from the United States or anybody else.
• 2:14:25
  Speaker 1: So they don't need the help, I should say. We'll
• 2:14:27
  Speaker 1: take a short break, come back and get ready to
• 2:14:29
  Speaker 1: wrap things up. It's been a big, big Election Day show.
• 2:14:32
  Speaker 1: We covered everything for you, folks, except for the plane crash.
• 2:14:34
  Speaker 1: I can't do it.
• 2:14:36
  Speaker 2: Sid and Friends in the Morning on the Red Apple
• 2:14:39
  Speaker 2: Podcast Network.
• 2:14:41
  Speaker 9: Well, thank you, Sid, and thank you for your support.
• 2:14:44
  Speaker 9: You've been a really, really dear friend, like a brother
• 2:14:47
  Speaker 9: to me, and it's deeply appreciated. I think we're going
• 2:14:51
  Speaker 9: to have a really sweet victory. I feel it everywhere,
• 2:14:55
  Speaker 9: especially in New York City. When people come up to
• 2:14:59
  Speaker 9: me in the Bronx and Queens and Brooklyn, and Staten
• 2:15:02
  Speaker 9: Island and Manhattan. And they tell me I'm a Democrat.
• 2:15:06
  Speaker 9: I've never voted Republican before, but I'm voting for you
• 2:15:09
  Speaker 9: and I'm voting Republican this year. It gives me great
• 2:15:12
  Speaker 9: encouragement that people are fed up with the high taxes,
• 2:15:16
  Speaker 9: the high utility bills. Two women were raped in New
• 2:15:20
  Speaker 9: York City in just the last week. And Kathy Hochul
• 2:15:24
  Speaker 9: has the gall to stand there with Zoran Mondami and
• 2:15:27
  Speaker 9: say it's safer. It's not safer. A 15-year-old boy was
• 2:15:30
  Speaker 9: shot in New York City last week. It's not safer.
• 2:15:35
  Speaker 9: It's all a hoax. And the fact of the matter
• 2:15:37
  Speaker 9: is everybody needs to go out and vote to save
• 2:15:41
  Speaker 9: our state because I'm the only one that can stop
• 2:15:45
  Speaker 9: Zoran Mondami. I'm the only one that will cut taxes.
• 2:15:48
  Speaker 9: You know Kathy Hochul will increase taxes. I'm the only
• 2:15:51
  Speaker 9: one that can cut utility bills. And I am the
• 2:15:54
  Speaker 9: only one that will be able to make safer communities
• 2:15:57
  Speaker 9: for you and your families.
• 2:15:58
  Speaker 1: What a great job by Lou Ruffino finding that Willie
• 2:16:01
  Speaker 1: Nelson classic. Vote him out. If you don't like him,
• 2:16:04
  Speaker 1: you don't like who's in there, you don't like Laura
• 2:16:07
  Speaker 1: Gillen on Long Island, vote her out. Vote in Janine Driscoll.
• 2:16:11
  Speaker 1: You don't like Two-Base Tom Swazi out there on Long Island,
• 2:16:16
  Speaker 1: vote him out. Vote in Mike Lepetri. The biggest one,
• 2:16:19
  Speaker 1: of course, the wretched, wicked witch. Kathy Hochul. Vote her out.
• 2:16:27
  Speaker 1: Vote in Bruce Blakeman. Some of these, like Schenkel, for example,
• 2:16:31
  Speaker 1: she's running against Michael Lasher. He wasn't in. That's just fat,
• 2:16:34
  Speaker 1: stupid Jerry Nather finally leaving, thank God. But some of them, yeah,
• 2:16:39
  Speaker 1: vote them out. That's it. Move on. This whole show
• 2:16:43
  Speaker 1: is voted now at this point, so we're all done.
• 2:16:46
  Speaker 1: We've all done our American duty. And hopefully our clients,
• 2:16:52
  Speaker 1: our candidates win, and We could be celebrating later on tonight.
• 2:16:55
  Speaker 1: Dancing and celebrating. I think I will be. I'll be
• 2:16:58
  Speaker 1: at the Pearl River Hilton tonight. I'm hosting. I was
• 2:17:02
  Speaker 1: bestowed the honor of hosting the whole evening for Mike
• 2:17:06
  Speaker 1: Lawler out in Rockland County. He's going to beat Kate
• 2:17:09
  Speaker 1: Conley tonight. Don't worry about the commercials and polymarket and
• 2:17:12
  Speaker 1: all that nonsense. He's going to win. So we're going
• 2:17:14
  Speaker 1: to have a big party out there. Your boy Ed
• 2:17:18
  Speaker 1: Day and all those other great people in Rockland County.
• 2:17:21
  Speaker 1: We're going to have fun tonight. Hopefully Long Island, the
• 2:17:23
  Speaker 1: Lannan in Eisenhower Park. Hopefully they'll be having a good
• 2:17:27
  Speaker 1: time tonight. Bruce Blakeman and Chris Boyle and Janine Driscoll,
• 2:17:30
  Speaker 1: Peter King, Joe Cairo, Mike Lepetri, thousands of others. That'll
• 2:17:35
  Speaker 1: be a huge, huge party on Long Island tonight. And
• 2:17:39
  Speaker 1: hopefully we are celebrating the terrific guy. Bruce Blakeman is
• 2:17:42
  Speaker 1: just a terrific guy. I mean, you know, I don't
• 2:17:46
  Speaker 1: know if he's going to win. I got to be honest.
• 2:17:47
  Speaker 1: I know he's confident and I want to be, but
• 2:17:50
  Speaker 1: I can't not in New York I can't do it
• 2:17:53
  Speaker 1: I just don't trust New Yorkers he is far and
• 2:17:58
  Speaker 1: away the better candidate it's not even close you saw
• 2:18:01
  Speaker 1: the debate she's an idiot let's have an honest discussion
• 2:18:06
  Speaker 1: she's an idiot So was AOC. So was Kamala Harris. Now,
• 2:18:11
  Speaker 1: there happens to be three females. I'm not a chauvinist
• 2:18:15
  Speaker 1: or a misogynist. There's plenty of men that are idiots, too,
• 2:18:18
  Speaker 1: on the left. But those three specifically are idiots. Hochul, AOC,
• 2:18:24
  Speaker 1: and Harris. He's a bright guy, Bruce. Hard worker. Tough
• 2:18:29
  Speaker 1: as nails. He's had success as the Nassau County executive.
• 2:18:34
  Speaker 1: She has none, none as the governor. Why are we
• 2:18:38
  Speaker 1: even having this discussion?
• 2:18:41
  Speaker 7: Why?
• 2:18:41
  Speaker 1: Because it's New York. And you idiots, not my audience,
• 2:18:44
  Speaker 1: because most of you are great, but there may be
• 2:18:46
  Speaker 1: a couple of you listening to me right now. You're idiots.
• 2:18:49
  Speaker 1: You go, no, I vote Democrat. That's it. It doesn't matter.
• 2:18:51
  Speaker 1: Because if you vote Republican, you're voting for Trump. What
• 2:18:56
  Speaker 1: a terrible thing. Who would want Trump? Who would want
• 2:18:59
  Speaker 1: a guy that actually takes on the world's biggest terror threat?
• 2:19:03
  Speaker 1: I know the prices are up. I get it, okay?
• 2:19:06
  Speaker 1: They're not really, mind you. Gas and oil. But your
• 2:19:10
  Speaker 1: other goods, they've gone down dramatically. Inflation. You're complaining about inflation.
• 2:19:15
  Speaker 1: It was almost 10 with Joe Biden. Interest rates. Huge
• 2:19:20
  Speaker 1: with Joe Biden. And now you're getting on Trump? Come on.
• 2:19:24
  Speaker 1: A lot of us are smart, you know. We're not
• 2:19:27
  Speaker 1: as dumb as you think we are. So you can
• 2:19:29
  Speaker 1: read the New York Times and email all your friends
• 2:19:32
  Speaker 1: and put on your stupid stickers, I voted today. Doesn't
• 2:19:36
  Speaker 1: change the fact you're a moron. And you're ruining our city,
• 2:19:39
  Speaker 1: our state, and our country. And we're not going to
• 2:19:41
  Speaker 1: allow it. The ballot machines seem to be working better
• 2:19:46
  Speaker 1: in 17. People have said they're able to vote right
• 2:19:49
  Speaker 1: now with no problem. I'm getting a ton of those messages.
• 2:19:52
  Speaker 1: Before we call it a day, Noam, are you hearing
• 2:19:54
  Speaker 1: anything else about the ballot machine issues in Lawler's district?
• 2:19:58
  Speaker 6: Well, Lawler told us earlier that it was an issue
• 2:20:01
  Speaker 6: with some paper and the thickness of the paper. And
• 2:20:03
  Speaker 6: that's exactly what they're talking about as well. And yeah,
• 2:20:06
  Speaker 6: I'm seeing that people are being able to vote on machines.
• 2:20:09
  Speaker 6: I don't know if that holds true for all of
• 2:20:11
  Speaker 6: the different locations.
• 2:20:11
  Speaker 1: The what? The what?
• 2:20:12
  Speaker 4: Paper.
• 2:20:13
  Speaker 1: The thickness of the paper? Yeah, I can't make it up.
• 2:20:16
  Speaker 1: So are they cheating? Are they cheating?
• 2:20:18
  Speaker 6: You know, I don't think so.
• 2:20:19
  Speaker 1: Are the Democrats cheating? I don't think so. The thickness
• 2:20:22
  Speaker 1: of the paper. Where'd they get the paper? I don't know.
• 2:20:24
  Speaker 6: You know, it'll be a good question to ask afterwards.
• 2:20:26
  Speaker 6: You'd think, like, you would spend the entire year getting
• 2:20:29
  Speaker 6: ready for it.
• 2:20:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you would think, yeah. You'd think, did I test
• 2:20:32
  Speaker 1: it out last night? You'd think you'd.
• 2:20:34
  Speaker 6: Test it out a bunch of times.
• 2:20:35
  Speaker 27: This is like a fourth grader remembering he has a
• 2:20:37
  Speaker 27: book report due at 6 a.m.
• 2:20:39
  Speaker 1: The next day. They can't be calling me down by
• 2:20:41
  Speaker 1: my hotel room at 1 o'clock in the morning to
• 2:20:42
  Speaker 1: announce Lawler is the winner. I'm being driven back into
• 2:20:44
  Speaker 1: the city at 3 a.m. I'm not going to sleep
• 2:20:47
  Speaker 1: at all. It's going to be terrible.
