- 0:00Speaker 1: Sid and Friends in the Morning. Entertaining and informative.
- 0:05Speaker 2: On the Red Apple Podcast Network.
- 0:07Speaker 3: Congratulations especially to Sid Rosenberg on his induction to the
- 0:14Speaker 3: New York State Broadcasters Hall of Fame. I can't believe
- 0:17Speaker 3: he didn't make it years ago. Today, Sid forever joins
- 0:21Speaker 3: a roll call of some of the greatest legends in
- 0:24Speaker 3: the history of New York broadcasting and talk radio. the
- 0:28Speaker 3: best in the business, and he's the best in the business.
- 0:31Speaker 3: Over many years, Sid has distinguished himself as one of
- 0:34Speaker 3: the most authentic and recognizable voices in American airwaves. And
- 0:39Speaker 3: he's built a smart, loyal, gigantic audience. And I happen
- 0:43Speaker 3: to be one of those people in the audience. And
- 0:46Speaker 3: I had for a long time, long before I became president.
- 0:50Speaker 4: Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman says he will comply with
- 0:53Speaker 4: New York's new law restricting police cooperation with ICE. But first,
- 0:58Speaker 4: he blasted the governor. Carolyn Gussop reports from Mineola.
- 1:01Speaker 5: This law is written in the blood of the victims past,
- 1:08Speaker 5: present and future.
- 1:10Speaker 6: Calling it a sad day, Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman
- 1:13Speaker 6: says he will follow the technicalities of the new law,
- 1:17Speaker 6: but will continue to work with ICE where the law allows.
- 1:20Speaker 5: I believe in the rule of law, even when it's
- 1:23Speaker 5: a bad law. And this is a very, very bad
- 1:26Speaker 5: and dangerous law. We need local cops hunting down criminals,
- 1:30Speaker 5: not kindergartners.
- 1:32Speaker 6: The showdown over ICE cooperation comes as Blakeman, who's running
- 1:36Speaker 6: for governor, a vocal supporter of President Trump's immigration enforcement,
- 1:40Speaker 6: waited till yesterday's deadline to terminate agreements as required. Nassau
- 1:45Speaker 6: police will no longer assist federal immigration agents, and ICE
- 1:50Speaker 6: can no longer rent space at the county jail. Blakeman
- 1:53Speaker 6: claims the cooperation enabled the county to deliver dangerous criminals
- 1:57Speaker 6: directly to ICE without them being released back into the community.
- 2:02Speaker 6: The law does not prevent police from working with ICE
- 2:05Speaker 6: on criminal cases. Supporters say the cooperation was inhumane and
- 2:10Speaker 6: eroded trust in police.
- 2:12Speaker 5: He has to abide to the full order of the law,
- 2:16Speaker 5: not technically, not trying to find loopholes.
- 2:18Speaker 7: Immigrants are not the people who are committing these heinous
- 2:21Speaker 7: crimes that he's talking about. There may be a handful,
- 2:23Speaker 7: but that's not what represents the majority of immigrants in
- 2:25Speaker 7: our community.
- 2:26Speaker 5: Every illegal migrant with a criminal record that we removed
- 2:29Speaker 5: from this county... was done without raiding one church, without
- 2:34Speaker 5: raiding a school, without raiding a daycare center or a hospital.
- 2:39Speaker 5: because our local law enforcement cooperated with ICE.
- 2:43Speaker 6: Nassau County Sheriff is joining 15 other sheriffs across the
- 2:47Speaker 6: state in.
- 2:48Speaker 8: Suing to have the law overturned.
- 2:50Speaker 9: More than 1,200 homeowners initially flagged for New York City's
- 2:54Speaker 9: peer-to-tear tax will no longer be required to pay the surcharge.
- 2:58Speaker 9: This as the city looks to fend off a lawsuit
- 3:01Speaker 9: challenging the tax on luxury second homes. And we've just
- 3:04Speaker 9: learned the city is sending out roughly 10,000 new notices
- 3:08Speaker 9: asking homeowners to prove their residency to avoid the surcharge.
- 3:14Speaker 8: Eyewitness News reporter N.J.
- 3:15Speaker 9: Birkin has more on the bumpy rollout of Mayor Mamdani's
- 3:18Speaker 9: so-called millionaire's tax.
- 3:22Speaker 10: Thousands of residents are off the list. The list compiled
- 3:26Speaker 10: by the city's finance department. of luxury homes that could
- 3:29Speaker 10: be subject to New York's tax surcharge on multi-million dollar
- 3:33Speaker 10: secondary residences. The city has granted exemptions to some homeowners
- 3:38Speaker 10: and examined the income tax returns of others. What they
- 3:41Speaker 10: found is that many that were put on notice are
- 3:44Speaker 10: actually living in primary residences. The revelation came in a
- 3:48Speaker 10: city court filing. Mayor Mamdani admitted that the city overestimated
- 3:52Speaker 10: the impact.
- 3:53Speaker 11: We did not have access to the 2025 income tax filings.
- 3:56Speaker 11: That is something that is typically released in February of
- 3:59Speaker 11: the next calendar year. The state has now provided us
- 4:01Speaker 11: with early access to those filings.
- 4:03Speaker 10: The city will send new notices to just 11,000 residents
- 4:06Speaker 10: of the 17,000 originally under the microscope.
- 4:10Speaker 8: When I ran for mayor, I said I was going
- 4:12Speaker 8: to tax the rich. Well, today we're taxing the rich.
- 4:17Speaker 10: It was controversial from the beginning, made even more so
- 4:20Speaker 10: when it was implemented. Randy Mastro filed the lawsuit challenging
- 4:24Speaker 10: the rollout.
- 4:25Speaker 12: When has a tax ever been imposed this way? Government,
- 4:29Speaker 12: I'm thinking of taxing you. You tell me why I shouldn't.
- 4:34Speaker 12: I mean, it's insane, but that's exactly what they did.
- 4:38Speaker 10: The tax is supposed to raise $ 500 million. But Mastro
- 4:42Speaker 10: believes it won't raise nearly that much.
- 4:44Speaker 12: Given where the Mondani administration started with 17,000 threatening letters,
- 4:48Speaker 12: it's a third of that.
- 4:49Speaker 10: Steve Fulop leads the city's most influential business group.
- 4:52Speaker 13: You're getting very little amount of money for a budget
- 4:56Speaker 13: that is massive, but you're putting a lot of pain
- 4:59Speaker 13: into this narrative here on how you treat the business
- 5:02Speaker 13: community or successful people.
- 5:03Speaker 4: Is it worth it?
- 5:04Speaker 14: I would say the.
- 5:05Speaker 15: Answer is no.
- 5:06Speaker 10: Mamdani defended the revenue projections and the rollout. But if
- 5:10Speaker 10: the lawsuit succeeds, the city will be forced to change
- 5:12Speaker 10: its approach and implement the tax all over again.
- 5:16Speaker 9: Some breaking news to tell you about. Military judges rule
- 5:19Speaker 9: the self-proclaimed mastermind of the 9-11 attacks, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed,
- 5:24Speaker 9: will stand trial in June 2028. That ruling comes two
- 5:29Speaker 9: weeks before the 25th anniversary of the attacks. Federal prosecutors
- 5:33Speaker 9: wanted the trial to start next year, but the judge
- 5:36Speaker 9: said that was too soon. Mohammed has been held at
- 5:39Speaker 9: the Guantanamo Bay Detention Center since 2003. The trial was
- 5:43Speaker 9: delayed for various reasons over the years, including the COVID pandemic,
- 5:47Speaker 9: personnel changes, and plea negotiations.
- 5:51Speaker 16: Now to the Trump administration threatening to tear down the
- 5:54Speaker 16: Kennedy Center in the court battle over putting the president's
- 5:57Speaker 16: name on the building.
- 5:58Speaker 17: Jay O'Brien is at the Kennedy Center this morning with
- 6:00Speaker 17: the latest.
- 6:01Speaker 18: Jay, good morning.
- 6:02Speaker 16: Good morning to you at an extraordinary court filing. The
- 6:04Speaker 16: Trump administration threatening that it could tear down the iconic
- 6:08Speaker 16: Kennedy Center unless a judge greenlights the president's planned renovations
- 6:12Speaker 16: and lets him put his name on the building.
- 6:14Speaker 1: Lawyers for the.
- 6:15Speaker 16: Justice Department calling this iconic venue, in their words, quote,
- 6:18Speaker 16: dangerously dilapidated. and decrepit and arguing that without Trump stepping in,
- 6:23Speaker 16: the venue may need to be demolished and replaced with
- 6:26Speaker 16: something like an outdoor amphitheater. That's despite the fact that
- 6:29Speaker 16: Congress just last year appropriated more than $ 250 million for
- 6:34Speaker 16: renovations to the Kennedy Center, lawyers for Democratic Congresswoman Joyce Beatty,
- 6:38Speaker 16: who's a member of the center's board, who brought this lawsuit,
- 6:41Speaker 16: calling the president's threat here, quote, unconscionable. Remember, a judge
- 6:45Speaker 16: ordered that Trump's handpicked board here at the Kennedy Center
- 6:48Speaker 16: remove his name from the building in May. The board
- 6:51Speaker 16: has now offered an alternative, saying it would leave John F.
- 6:55Speaker 16: Kennedy's name up top and put below it the phrase
- 6:58Speaker 16: renovated and restored by President Donald J.
- 7:01Speaker 18: Trump.
- 7:01Speaker 16: But ultimately, it's up to a judge as to whether
- 7:03Speaker 16: it's up to the Congress, the judge has said, whether
- 7:05Speaker 16: this building's name should be removed.
- 7:07Speaker 19: Senator, you're taking your first cousin to Las Vegas with
- 7:12Speaker 19: you next week.
- 7:14Speaker 20: Hey, listen, he's Donald Trump's favorite radio announcer, right? Being
- 7:18Speaker 20: inducted into the Radio Hall of Fame. You've got a
- 7:21Speaker 20: good one there in the morning with my cousin Sid.
- 7:23Speaker 19: I mean, he's going to Las Vegas and you guys
- 7:26Speaker 19: are going to have fun and I'm working Monday and
- 7:28Speaker 19: Tuesday for him.
- 7:29Speaker 20: We're going to be working in Vegas. We're going to
- 7:31Speaker 20: be working in Vegas, and we're going to have everybody
- 7:33Speaker 20: from the vice president is going to be there. The
- 7:35Speaker 20: Speaker of the House is going to be. We're going
- 7:37Speaker 20: to do an interview with him. I think we'll do
- 7:39Speaker 20: that remote. We'll get, I believe, Bibi Netanyahu. We'll get
- 7:42Speaker 20: Ambassador Huckabee by video. We'll have a number of fights.
- 7:46Speaker 20: It's going to be a day and a half event.
- 7:48Speaker 20: It's going to be rather compressed this year. But Sid's
- 7:50Speaker 20: going to be part of the show. And, listen, he's
- 7:53Speaker 20: been a champion for the Jewish people.
- 7:55Speaker 18: Big time.
- 7:56Speaker 15: It's really, I love it.
- 7:58Speaker 20: I'm proud of him.
- 8:00Speaker 15: He's still working.
- 8:03Speaker 1: As President Trump said in that piece, which we're going
- 8:06Speaker 1: to play in its entirety, you only hear about 40
- 8:09Speaker 1: seconds of it every morning. It's about, I don't know,
- 8:12Speaker 1: about 100 seconds long. We'll get that at the Rainbow
- 8:15Speaker 1: Room on October 22nd. But as President Trump says, and
- 8:18Speaker 1: he's right, it's a gigantic audience. Gigantic. Not just New York,
- 8:24Speaker 1: but everywhere. So you're waking up to Billy Idol. That's
- 8:27Speaker 1: the way to wake up on a Thursday morning, Billy Idol.
- 8:31Speaker 1: And I'm going to see Billy Idol coming up on
- 8:33Speaker 1: Saturday night in Las Vegas. So we took that little
- 8:37Speaker 1: cut from my first cousin, Norm Coleman, who was on
- 8:40Speaker 1: this show, I believe, Tuesday.
- 8:43Speaker 21: And Norman, who spent eight years as the mayor of St.
- 8:46Speaker 1: Paul, Minnesota, also won that senator election in the state
- 8:51Speaker 1: of Minnesota. He beat, really, he beat Wellstone. But Wellstone
- 8:56Speaker 1: and his family were tragically killed in a helicopter crash
- 9:00Speaker 1: not long before the election. So Minnesota was forced to
- 9:04Speaker 1: insert Walter Mondale in there. My cousin beat him. So
- 9:08Speaker 1: my cousin won a lot of races in Minnesota. He
- 9:11Speaker 1: lost two very famous races. He beat out Skip Humphrey,
- 9:15Speaker 1: which was damn good, but came in second to Jesse
- 9:18Speaker 1: Ventura in the gubernatorial race. And then, of course, his
- 9:23Speaker 1: last wanted politics, tried to stay in the Senate, and
- 9:27Speaker 1: he got beat by the horrible comedian Al Franken. But
- 9:31Speaker 1: Norm has remained very, very close with the Republican Party.
- 9:35Speaker 1: He was a dear friend, still is, of Bush 43.
- 9:38Speaker 1: And even though he started kind of a never-Trumper, because
- 9:42Speaker 1: don't forget, my cousin's best friend was Lindsey Graham.
- 9:46Speaker 21: Graham and Norm Coleman were like brothers.
- 9:48Speaker 1: So they both started off as never-Trumpers, but both came
- 9:52Speaker 1: around and.
- 9:53Speaker 21: Both love Donald Trump.
- 9:55Speaker 1: So you heard Norm say, hey, my cousin Sid, that's
- 9:58Speaker 1: Trump's favorite radio guy. That's true. I know Trump does
- 10:01Speaker 1: have Hugh Hewitt. He goes on Hugh Hewitt's show quite
- 10:04Speaker 1: a bit, and he'll do the other radio shows for
- 10:08Speaker 1: the Fox people, but really it's about TV for those guys,
- 10:12Speaker 1: Mark Levin, Sean Hannity. I don't know a lot of
- 10:15Speaker 1: radio shows that the president does on a consistent basis
- 10:21Speaker 1: outside of me and Hugh Hewitt. I'm sure there are others.
- 10:24Speaker 1: He does once in a while, but I think I'm
- 10:26Speaker 1: his favorite. I think Norm is right. And Norm, along
- 10:29Speaker 1: with Matt Brooks, great guy out of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, is
- 10:33Speaker 1: going to join me this morning. They run the RJC,
- 10:36Speaker 1: the Republican Jewish Coalition, and they put on this unbelievable
- 10:41Speaker 1: event in Las Vegas every year. And when I tell
- 10:44Speaker 1: you the speakers, Trump has spoken there before, President Trump.
- 10:48Speaker 1: This year, we've got the vice president of the United States.
- 10:52Speaker 1: He actually confirmed it yesterday.
- 10:54Speaker 21: J.D.
- 10:54Speaker 1: Vance, the speaker of the House, Mike Johnson, and a
- 11:00Speaker 1: lot of other Republican politicians from Brandon Gill, Texas, Mike Rogers, Michigan,
- 11:09Speaker 1: Dan Patrick, Texas, Randy Bynes, Florida.
- 11:13Speaker 21: The list goes on and on. There's like 25 of them.
- 11:17Speaker 1: And it's a day-and-a-half event, and there are speakers all
- 11:20Speaker 1: day for about a day-and-a-half. But the big, I guess,
- 11:25Speaker 1: panel takes place on Monday morning. That's when I speak.
- 11:30Speaker 1: And then Monday night is the finale. Last year, when
- 11:35Speaker 1: I was there with Danielle and Gabriel, the big star,
- 11:39Speaker 1: was Floyd Mayweather, who is very, very pro-Israel, loves BB,
- 11:43Speaker 1: loves Israel, the great boxer Floyd Mayweather who lives in Vegas.
- 11:47Speaker 21: This year, as I mentioned moments ago, it'll be J.D.
- 11:50Speaker 1: Vance. And it's a big deal for me because I
- 11:53Speaker 1: have no relationship, none, with J.D. Vance. In fact, I'm
- 11:59Speaker 1: on record saying, I don't know if I like him.
- 12:01Speaker 1: I don't really like him. I don't trust him. When
- 12:04Speaker 1: it comes to Israel, when it comes to BB, anybody...
- 12:08Speaker 1: who could be friendly with Tucker Carlson right now, no good.
- 12:12Speaker 1: No good.
- 12:13Speaker 21: And I haven't really heard J.D.
- 12:15Speaker 1: Vance distance himself like President Trump has from Tucker. In fact,
- 12:22Speaker 1: Tucker's kid worked for J.D. Vance for a long period
- 12:26Speaker 1: of time. But here's my issue. I can never, ever,
- 12:31Speaker 1: ever vote for a Democrat. I can't do it. Unless
- 12:34Speaker 1: you're telling me that John Fetterman... is running for president,
- 12:38Speaker 1: and even then, you know, all the talk about Betterman,
- 12:41Speaker 1: and I'm going to like him, but the truth is.
- 12:43Speaker 21: He votes with the Democrats almost all the time.
- 12:47Speaker 1: You know, all you Republican, especially the ladies out there,
- 12:51Speaker 1: the pro-Israel Jewish girls, they love Richie Torres. You have
- 12:55Speaker 1: no idea what you're talking about. Torres hates Trump, talks
- 12:59Speaker 1: bad about him at every turn, hates Bibi, talks bad
- 13:03Speaker 1: about him at every turn, and votes Democrat for almost
- 13:06Speaker 1: all the time. And I have made the point on
- 13:09Speaker 1: this show time and time again that whether I love
- 13:13Speaker 1: the Republican candidate or not, I am a MAGA Republican.
- 13:17Speaker 22: I am.
- 13:19Speaker 1: And I will vote for that Republican every time. So
- 13:23Speaker 1: if J.D. Vance is going to be the anointed one,
- 13:27Speaker 1: and it looks like that's where we're going, It does
- 13:31Speaker 1: not look like Marco Rubio is going to be that guy.
- 13:34Speaker 1: We spoke about this yesterday, me and Brian Kilmeade. That
- 13:37Speaker 1: doesn't mean Rubio may not run somewhere down the road.
- 13:40Speaker 21: Right, if J.D.
- 13:41Speaker 1: 's numbers come back and he announces he's running, his
- 13:44Speaker 1: numbers aren't very good, then maybe Marco jumps in. It'll
- 13:47Speaker 1: be a crowded field. Maybe Ron DeSantis. Maybe Glenn Youngkin.
- 13:52Speaker 1: Maybe from Iowa.
- 13:55Speaker 21: What's his name? I like him a lot, actually.
- 13:57Speaker 1: I just forgot his name. Either way, it'll be a very,
- 14:00Speaker 1: very crowded field. Josh Hawley, Missouri, actually. It'll be a
- 14:03Speaker 1: crowded field, but it does look like J.D. Vance is
- 14:06Speaker 1: going to be that guy. So now, being I've got
- 14:09Speaker 1: this really close relationship with Trump, who I will see
- 14:13Speaker 1: in Dallas next week, and I've got a real good
- 14:17Speaker 1: relationship with the Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, as well,
- 14:21Speaker 1: I need to have a good relationship with not just
- 14:24Speaker 1: the vice president, but the guy that will probably represent
- 14:27Speaker 1: my party.
- 14:28Speaker 21: Come 2028, and that's Vance. So I need some alone.
- 14:32Speaker 1: Time with J.D.
- 14:34Speaker 18: Vance.
- 14:35Speaker 1: So once I found out that the surprise that Norm
- 14:38Speaker 1: Coleman mentioned on this show two days ago was Vance,
- 14:41Speaker 1: and yesterday he let the cat out of the bag
- 14:43Speaker 1: with cats. I called Norm, and I called Matt, and
- 14:46Speaker 1: I said, listen, I know people are all over the
- 14:49Speaker 1: vice president, all the other politicians, all the people there
- 14:53Speaker 1: in Vegas to watch it, everybody's best friends with all
- 14:56Speaker 1: the Trump guys. I get all that, okay? I watch it.
- 14:59Speaker 1: I watch the whole process, and it's fun to watch.
- 15:04Speaker 1: I said, but you guys got to understand, New York
- 15:07Speaker 1: is important. Donald Trump didn't win New York.
- 15:10Speaker 21: We know that.
- 15:11Speaker 1: But he fared much better than any Republican president has
- 15:15Speaker 1: in a long time.
- 15:16Speaker 21: And while he's got.
- 15:17Speaker 1: People in New York like Lee Zeldin and Mike Lawler
- 15:20Speaker 1: and others... I think he'd admit that the reason why
- 15:23Speaker 1: he did better was me. He asked me time and
- 15:26Speaker 1: time again on this show. You guys heard him. Sid,
- 15:29Speaker 1: get me New York. So if it's J.D. Vance and
- 15:34Speaker 1: he wants to farewell, won't win it, but farewell in
- 15:37Speaker 1: New York, the bottom line is he needs me. Because,
- 15:41Speaker 1: at the risk again of sounding like a narcissist, and
- 15:44Speaker 1: for some of you a complete dick, there is no
- 15:46Speaker 1: radio host on this station or in this town that
- 15:51Speaker 1: has the power that I've got. I don't have all
- 15:54Speaker 1: the money.
- 15:55Speaker 21: I'm the first to admit that. I don't have all
- 15:57Speaker 21: the money, but I have power.
- 15:59Speaker 1: These guys, absolutely 1,000%, all across Washington, D.C., New York,
- 16:06Speaker 1: from the guy running for governor to my guy out
- 16:09Speaker 1: in Rockland County running for Congress, you name it, they know.
- 16:13Speaker 1: We've got to talk to Sid. I'm not being disrespectful
- 16:16Speaker 1: to other shows on this station, in the market.
- 16:18Speaker 21: I'm being honest.
- 16:20Speaker 1: This is it. Right now, this is it. This time,
- 16:23Speaker 1: this place, this is it. So I've got to figure
- 16:27Speaker 1: it out with J.D. Vance, whether I love him right
- 16:31Speaker 1: now or not. And it looks like Louis Arthur Rapinoe,
- 16:35Speaker 1: Las Vegas, will be my opportunity to do it.
- 16:40Speaker 8: And you're just stating facts, too. You're not being disrespectful.
- 16:43Speaker 18: No.
- 16:43Speaker 8: This is how it is. This is the landscape.
- 16:45Speaker 21: It's just the way it is.
- 16:46Speaker 18: Right.
- 16:47Speaker 8: So you've got the power and... You just got to
- 16:51Speaker 8: wield it with responsibility.
- 16:54Speaker 1: That's not easy, is it?
- 16:56Speaker 8: No, I'm just saying it. It might not be the case.
- 16:59Speaker 8: It might not happen.
- 17:00Speaker 21: It might not happen?
- 17:02Speaker 8: Usually you're very responsible with your wielding of power.
- 17:05Speaker 21: You think so?
- 17:06Speaker 1: I think I am, right?
- 17:07Speaker 8: Yeah, I think so.
- 17:08Speaker 21: Well, they keep coming back to me.
- 17:10Speaker 18: Sure.
- 17:10Speaker 21: If I wasn't, they'd be like, enough with this guy.
- 17:12Speaker 18: Yeah.
- 17:13Speaker 8: I don't think they just know how to use the
- 17:17Speaker 8: scope of your power.
- 17:17Speaker 21: They don't know.
- 17:18Speaker 8: No, they don't know.
- 17:20Speaker 1: So once in a while I got to bully my
- 17:22Speaker 1: way in and literally send messages like, don't be stupid. Seriously,
- 17:27Speaker 1: don't be stupid. See, the guys, like Lawler gets it.
- 17:31Speaker 21: Lawler knows. I'm going to win Rockton County. I need Sid.
- 17:36Speaker 21: Same thing with Bruce Blakeman.
- 17:38Speaker 1: There's a reason why Bruce is on this show every
- 17:40Speaker 1: week and we talk two, three times a day. Do
- 17:42Speaker 1: we love each other?
- 17:43Speaker 18: Sure.
- 17:44Speaker 1: We absolutely love each other. Got a great relationship, like brothers.
- 17:48Speaker 1: And he hired my son, Gabriel. He loved working for
- 17:50Speaker 1: Bruce this summer. We've got a very, very close personal relationship.
- 17:55Speaker 1: But Bruce respects what I bring to the table, the
- 18:00Speaker 1: number one media market in the world, and the morning show.
- 18:04Speaker 1: You know, the rest of the day, it matters. Don't
- 18:07Speaker 1: get me wrong, but every station, That is a big
- 18:11Speaker 1: time station in this country. And this has been the
- 18:14Speaker 1: case forever. That's a big time morning show. If not,
- 18:19Speaker 1: odds are they don't have a big time station. That's it.
- 18:22Speaker 1: And Blakeman knows that. And Lawler knows that. And Janine
- 18:26Speaker 1: Driscoll knows that. And Michael Petri knows that. And J.D.
- 18:30Speaker 1: Vance needs to know that. He may. I don't know. Listen.
- 18:33Speaker 21: Somebody said to me. Somebody in the White House.
- 18:36Speaker 1: I'm not going to say who they are. They said, look.
- 18:40Speaker 1: Everybody knows that you're President Trump's guy. And sometimes, other
- 18:46Speaker 1: people in the cabinet, other members of Trump's administration, don't
- 18:52Speaker 1: like to hop on those shows because you're kind of
- 18:55Speaker 1: Trump's guy. And I can appreciate that. That's very, very nice.
- 18:59Speaker 1: This guy's the Vice President of the United States. In
- 19:03Speaker 1: all likelihood, he's going to be our candidate for President
- 19:07Speaker 1: in 2028. This goes above and beyond whether or not
- 19:10Speaker 1: I'm Trump's guy. We got like two years. And then
- 19:15Speaker 1: we're going to be doing this again. I mean, obviously
- 19:17Speaker 1: the big one now before that, way before that, is
- 19:20Speaker 1: November with the midterms as we get set to jet
- 19:23Speaker 1: set to Dallas right after Las Vegas. There's just so
- 19:28Speaker 1: much going on, Lou, and so much at stake. But
- 19:30Speaker 1: the Vegas thing is a big deal. It's a great trip.
- 19:33Speaker 1: Norm Coleman on this show two days ago. Norm Coleman
- 19:37Speaker 1: with Katz and Cosby yesterday. Matt Brooks on this show today.
- 19:41Speaker 1: And we've got a whole bunch of guests that will
- 19:44Speaker 1: speak tomorrow. Scott Jennings. Scott Jennings, a big CNN superstar.
- 19:49Speaker 1: Right now, he seems to be, at least if you
- 19:53Speaker 1: listen to the media, the leader in the clubhouse to
- 19:56Speaker 1: replace Caroline Leavitt in the White House spokesperson role. So
- 20:00Speaker 1: Scott Jennings will join us tomorrow. Mike Rogers, either today
- 20:05Speaker 1: or tomorrow. Probably Randy Bynes, or a whole bunch of
- 20:08Speaker 1: these folks that'll be speaking in Vegas, and some of
- 20:11Speaker 1: them will be speaking in Dallas, too, will be on
- 20:16Speaker 1: this show. Lou, that's got you very excited, doesn't it?
- 20:20Speaker 1: Look at you.
- 20:21Speaker 8: Yeah. I try to pace.
- 20:23Speaker 1: Myself in these instances.
- 20:25Speaker 8: And then I take your information a little at a
- 20:28Speaker 8: time so that I can really enjoy it.
- 20:31Speaker 23: No, I understand.
- 20:32Speaker 8: I get it. You know, it's like when the appetizer comes.
- 20:34Speaker 18: No.
- 20:35Speaker 21: I have no idea what you're talking about.
- 20:37Speaker 1: I think I want to play Norm Coleman again because
- 20:39Speaker 1: I enjoyed that.
- 20:40Speaker 8: I thought food would.
- 20:42Speaker 1: I do love food. And we had a great dinner
- 20:43Speaker 1: together two nights ago to celebrate MJ's 60th birthday. That
- 20:46Speaker 1: was fun. So one more time. Actually, not one more
- 20:49Speaker 1: time because I'm sure I'll play it again at some
- 20:51Speaker 1: point today. My first cousin, Norm Coleman, cut number 13
- 20:55Speaker 1: from the Cats and Cosby show yesterday.
- 20:59Speaker 19: Senator, you're taking your first cousin to Las Vegas with
- 21:05Speaker 19: you next week.
- 21:05Speaker 18: Hey, listen, he's Donald Trump's favorite radio announcer, right, being
- 21:10Speaker 18: inducted into the Radio Hall of Fame.
- 21:12Speaker 20: You've got a good one there in the morning with
- 21:13Speaker 20: my cousin Sid.
- 21:14Speaker 19: I mean, he's going to Las Vegas, and you guys
- 21:18Speaker 19: are going to have fun, and I'm working Monday and
- 21:20Speaker 19: Tuesday for him.
- 21:21Speaker 20: We're going to be working in Vegas. We're going to
- 21:22Speaker 20: be working in Vegas, and we're going to have everybody
- 21:25Speaker 20: from the vice president is going to be there. The
- 21:27Speaker 20: Speaker of the House is going to be– we're going
- 21:28Speaker 20: to do an interview with him. I think we'll do
- 21:30Speaker 20: that remote. We'll get, I believe, Bibi Netanyahu. We'll get
- 21:34Speaker 20: Ambassador Huckabee by video. We'll have a number of– it's
- 21:37Speaker 20: going to be a day and a half event. It's
- 21:39Speaker 20: going to be rather compressed this year. But Sid's going
- 21:42Speaker 20: to be part of the show. And listen, he's been
- 21:45Speaker 20: a champion for the Jewish people. He's really– It's really.
- 21:49Speaker 18: I love it.
- 21:50Speaker 20: I'm proud of him. So he's still working.
- 21:52Speaker 19: All right, okay. Senator Norman Coleman, thank you. You should
- 21:57Speaker 19: have been the senator still. Thank you so much for
- 22:00Speaker 19: calling in.
- 22:01Speaker 20: Always a pleasure, Tim.
- 22:02Speaker 21: All right, so the big local story.
- 22:03Speaker 1: Bruce Blakeman was on this show yesterday for about 25 minutes,
- 22:06Speaker 1: a Nassau County executive running for governor. So you know
- 22:10Speaker 1: that Kathy Hochul hates ICE. It doesn't matter... What statistic
- 22:16Speaker 1: we provide to people like Hochul and Mamdani and these
- 22:19Speaker 1: lousy Democrats who prove day after day after day that
- 22:23Speaker 1: they are not worried, nor do they care about your safety.
- 22:28Speaker 18: Right.
- 22:28Speaker 1: If I if I pile up the amount of incidents
- 22:32Speaker 1: involving ICE agents with, quote, innocent and even that's arguable, quote,
- 22:38Speaker 1: innocent Americans compared to. The thousands and thousands and thousands
- 22:46Speaker 1: of violent criminals that ICE has captured and deported, it's
- 22:52Speaker 1: not even worthy of a conversation. In fact, it's ridiculous.
- 22:57Speaker 1: And they lie. Kathy Hochul, I don't need them going
- 23:01Speaker 1: into a kindergarten. We've had Tom Holman on this show
- 23:05Speaker 1: a million times. Blakeman is on the show every week.
- 23:08Speaker 1: Blakeman said it yesterday, folks. Not once, not once has
- 23:14Speaker 1: an ICE agent in Nassau County entered a school, a
- 23:18Speaker 1: children's daycare, a hospital, any of those types of places.
- 23:24Speaker 1: Not even once. And Nassau County is the safest county
- 23:31Speaker 1: in America. And it's big. It's big. Why? Because they
- 23:35Speaker 1: cooperate with ICE. And he's given us examples just yesterday, Bruce.
- 23:41Speaker 1: Three or four in the last couple of months of
- 23:44Speaker 1: real violent crimes. One guy alone went to two different
- 23:48Speaker 1: women's houses in Nassau County about two months ago.
- 23:52Speaker 21: Murdered both of them. Slashed both their throats.
- 23:55Speaker 1: Illegal.
- 23:56Speaker 21: There's a story from just last week.
- 23:59Speaker 1: 14-year-old girl got raped in Nassau County. Illegal.
- 24:04Speaker 21: But Kathy Hochul doesn't care.
- 24:06Speaker 1: She'd rather lie and make up this grand story about
- 24:09Speaker 1: ICE agents. barging into a kindergarten. They don't do that.
- 24:13Speaker 1: They don't do it. And she gets this overwhelming support
- 24:18Speaker 1: from the Democrats and losers like Mom Donnie. And she
- 24:23Speaker 1: put a bill out there, and unfortunately the bill went
- 24:25Speaker 1: into effect this week, August the 25th. And now Nassau
- 24:30Speaker 1: County is no longer allowed to fully cooperate with ICE.
- 24:37Speaker 1: And ICE is no longer allowed to rent any space,
- 24:41Speaker 1: use the jails, any of that stuff. Basically, because of
- 24:45Speaker 1: Kathy Hochul, despite the amazing work ICE has done, and
- 24:49Speaker 1: I provide you with statistics that will blow Hochul out
- 24:52Speaker 1: of the water, they are no longer welcome in your
- 24:55Speaker 1: communities because they would rather, rather keep you unsafe, unsafe,
- 25:03Speaker 1: just to stick it up Trump's ass. And in this case,
- 25:07Speaker 1: Bruce Blakeman. So Blakeman says, you know, people are going
- 25:11Speaker 1: to die. And there are going to be no repercussions.
- 25:16Speaker 1: So one of the phrases you hear a lot on
- 25:18Speaker 1: talk shows like this is, the blood is on your hands.
- 25:23Speaker 1: And in this case, it actually works. Yes, Kathy Hochul,
- 25:28Speaker 1: you repulsive hag. The blood is on your hands. This
- 25:34Speaker 1: is Nassau County Executive, soon to be the next governor
- 25:38Speaker 1: of New York, Bruce Blakeman Lewis. Cut number two.
- 25:42Speaker 5: This law is written in the blood of the victims past,
- 25:48Speaker 5: present and future.
- 25:50Speaker 15: Wow.
- 25:51Speaker 1: And then he goes on to say, look, is that
- 25:53Speaker 1: some guy text me yesterday? You know, your boy Bruce
- 25:55Speaker 1: blew it. He never should comply with Hochul. What do
- 25:58Speaker 1: you want him to do? He can't break the law, dummy. Well,
- 26:02Speaker 1: he should have sued him.
- 26:03Speaker 21: He should have.
- 26:04Speaker 1: Calm down. Okay?
- 26:06Speaker 21: He can't break the law. That's the bottom line.
- 26:08Speaker 1: The law sucks. That's not his fault. That's another reason
- 26:12Speaker 1: to vote against Kathy Hochul. Bruce Blateman, Lewis, cut number three.
- 26:16Speaker 5: I believe in the rule of law, even when it's
- 26:19Speaker 5: a bad law. And this is a very, very bad
- 26:22Speaker 5: and dangerous law.
- 26:24Speaker 1: And now he gets to the point where we're not
- 26:26Speaker 1: going into... kindergartens and hospitals and schools. That's the big
- 26:33Speaker 1: lie that the Democrats force on you every day. It's
- 26:37Speaker 1: a big lie. It's kind of like Israel is committing
- 26:40Speaker 1: genocide because they're blowing up schools or they're blowing up hospitals. Well,
- 26:45Speaker 1: when Hamas sets up their headquarters purposely in a school
- 26:51Speaker 1: or a hospital and because they know that you morons
- 26:54Speaker 1: out there will buy it, so we got to go
- 26:56Speaker 1: kill the terrorists. Well, they do, I should say. And
- 26:59Speaker 1: a kid gets killed, well, what do you want Israel
- 27:02Speaker 1: to do? Allow the terrorists to stick around because Hamas
- 27:06Speaker 1: is evil enough to put them in the buildings? That's
- 27:09Speaker 1: a lie. That's not genocide. Genocide is a lie. And
- 27:13Speaker 1: these guys going into kindergartens and hospitals, that's a lie.
- 27:18Speaker 21: Cut number four.
- 27:19Speaker 5: Every illegal migrant with a criminal record that we removed
- 27:22Speaker 5: from this county was done without raiding one church, without
- 27:27Speaker 5: raiding a school, without raiding a daycare center or a hospital.
- 27:32Speaker 5: Because our local law enforcement cooperated with ICE.
- 27:36Speaker 1: And listen to this biatch one more time, Kathy Hochul,
- 27:39Speaker 1: talking about kindergartens.
- 27:41Speaker 21: You lying son of a gun. Cut number five.
- 27:45Speaker 8: We need local cops hunting down criminals. Not kindergartners.
- 27:49Speaker 1: They don't go to kindergartens, doucheface. They don't do that.
- 27:53Speaker 21: You're right about that.
- 27:54Speaker 1: It'd be nice to hunt down criminals and not kindergarten
- 27:57Speaker 1: kids if they were doing that, which they are not,
- 28:00Speaker 1: Kathy Hochul. But you're not going to hear Errol Lewis,
- 28:03Speaker 1: that fat, stupid racist on New York One, say that.
- 28:07Speaker 21: You're not going to hear him say that.
- 28:08Speaker 1: You're not going to hear N.J. Burkett say that. You're
- 28:12Speaker 1: not going to hear anybody in the media say that
- 28:15Speaker 1: outside of me. and maybe Fox News and a few
- 28:19Speaker 1: other hosts at this station. That's it.
- 28:22Speaker 21: She's lying. Lying.
- 28:26Speaker 1: All right, the tributes are still coming in, Lewis, for
- 28:28Speaker 1: our girl Dolly Parton. Sadly, she died at the age
- 28:32Speaker 1: of 80. Was it yesterday or the day before? I
- 28:35Speaker 1: forget already. So I got some audio here. So she's
- 28:38Speaker 1: on Channel 7 locally, ABC. And this douche reporter tries
- 28:44Speaker 1: to get Dolly Parton to talk bad about President Trump.
- 28:48Speaker 1: And I don't know if Dolly Parton loved President Trump.
- 28:51Speaker 1: My guess is she did. Or she hated President Trump.
- 28:54Speaker 21: I don't know.
- 28:54Speaker 1: You know why? Because she's never going to tell us.
- 28:58Speaker 1: She was never going to tell us. Unlike the rest
- 29:02Speaker 1: of Hollywood, the Mark Ruppelos of the world and all
- 29:05Speaker 1: those creeps, Dolly Parton, she didn't play that way. So
- 29:09Speaker 1: here's an ABC News reporter doing his very best to
- 29:14Speaker 1: get Dolly Parton to talk bad about President Trump, but
- 29:16Speaker 1: Dolly does not take the bait. Cut number 10.
- 29:20Speaker 18: We have a president of the United States who said
- 29:21Speaker 18: those things.
- 29:22Speaker 7: On that bus. I'm not addressing that. I do not
- 29:25Speaker 7: get into that. Of course, I have my opinion about
- 29:28Speaker 7: everybody and everything. But I learned a long time ago,
- 29:31Speaker 7: keep your damn mouth shut if you want to stay
- 29:33Speaker 7: in show business. I'm not in politics.
- 29:35Speaker 22: I'm an entertainer.
- 29:36Speaker 8: And yet you're also a role model.
- 29:38Speaker 23: Yes, I am.
- 29:39Speaker 22: That's why I don't.
- 29:40Speaker 7: Talk about people. So if you are deciding you may
- 29:43Speaker 7: want to ask me something more serious, don't, because I'm
- 29:45Speaker 7: not going to answer.
- 29:47Speaker 18: Fair one.
- 29:47Speaker 8: You might still ask.
- 29:48Speaker 7: Well, you can ask, but I might still tell.
- 29:50Speaker 1: You where to put it.
- 29:53Speaker 18: Good for her.
- 29:53Speaker 15: Oh, yeah.
- 29:54Speaker 1: Wasn't that great?
- 29:55Speaker 8: That's amazing. That's great.
- 29:57Speaker 1: I'm not going to talk about it. That's it. Well,
- 30:00Speaker 1: that was, and he was talking about the Bush incident,
- 30:03Speaker 1: you know, grab him by the poopoo.
- 30:05Speaker 18: Yeah.
- 30:06Speaker 1: Which, enough of that already.
- 30:07Speaker 21: You had Democrat presidents who actually did grab him. Kennedy, Clinton,
- 30:11Speaker 21: and others. Trump made a comment.
- 30:14Speaker 1: You had presidents, Democrats, who actually did grab him by the,
- 30:18Speaker 1: you know what.
- 30:20Speaker 21: And people didn't care. Trump says it.
- 30:22Speaker 1: He's the worst man God ever created. That's what this
- 30:26Speaker 1: idiot was talking about on ABC and Dolly Parton. It's like, okay, whatever.
- 30:30Speaker 1: That's him.
- 30:36Speaker 8: You had some leaving him in the water, too.
- 30:38Speaker 19: Yeah.
- 30:40Speaker 8: Well, I don't know what happened with her.
- 30:45Speaker 18: Right.
- 30:46Speaker 1: Good old Mary Jo Kopechny, God rest her soul. Ted Kennedy.
- 30:49Speaker 8: He was here just a moment ago.
- 30:52Speaker 1: What was that again? It was, where was that? Where
- 30:55Speaker 1: did that take place? That's right, Chappaquiddick. So I've been
- 31:00Speaker 1: talking an awful lot on this show about keeping the
- 31:02Speaker 1: mayor away from that sacred site, 9-11, keep him away.
- 31:09Speaker 21: And you've heard.
- 31:10Speaker 1: Giovanni Galante and Charles Wolfe and Jeanette Pick and others.
- 31:14Speaker 1: Then I brought on another gentleman, former firefighter. His name
- 31:18Speaker 1: is Jack Joyce. And much like Giovanni Galante, who started
- 31:22Speaker 1: a petition to keep the mayor away. Joyce started a petition,
- 31:26Speaker 1: which President Trump said he would do, which was to
- 31:29Speaker 1: make the World Trade Center a national monument. Either way,
- 31:33Speaker 1: I'm all over this. Any way I can help the
- 31:35Speaker 1: 9-11 families, I want to do it. And wouldn't you
- 31:38Speaker 1: know that we received news yesterday that the mastermind behind 9-11,
- 31:45Speaker 1: the sheikh, sheikh, he is actually going on trial, finally,
- 31:51Speaker 1: I think this son of a bitch has been in
- 31:53Speaker 1: Guantanamo Bay since 2003.
- 31:55Speaker 21: 2003.
- 31:56Speaker 1: So you're talking about he's been there now for 23 years.
- 32:01Speaker 1: The trial is not set to start until 2028, which
- 32:05Speaker 1: will be 25 years after he went to Guantanamo Bay
- 32:08Speaker 1: and 27 years after 9-11. But the good news is,
- 32:16Speaker 1: He's going on trial. Now, it's not a criminal trial.
- 32:19Speaker 1: You're not going to see him downtown in New York City.
- 32:23Speaker 1: This is a military trial. It's different. But he's going
- 32:27Speaker 1: on trial. But just another reminder of all these people
- 32:31Speaker 1: out there that Mamdani seems to like, that Mamdani hangs around,
- 32:37Speaker 1: that Mamdani refuses to condemn, whether it's Hassan Piker or
- 32:43Speaker 1: the clerics, that were the co-conspirators in the 1993 World
- 32:48Speaker 1: Trade Center bombings, endorsing Chevalier, excuse me, endorsing Valdez, doesn't
- 32:57Speaker 1: seem like the mayor really has disdain for these people
- 33:03Speaker 1: who publicly hate our country. Doesn't seem that way.
- 33:07Speaker 21: So this guy will finally go on trial.
- 33:10Speaker 1: Remember this guy, Lou? The sheik?
- 33:13Speaker 8: Sheikh, yeah.
- 33:13Speaker 9: Mohammed?
- 33:14Speaker 1: Sheikh Mohammed. That's right. Sheikh Mohammed. Yeah, so that's going
- 33:17Speaker 1: to start soon. And one more before we start to
- 33:20Speaker 1: get to our guests. They've got like five or six
- 33:21Speaker 1: great guests. The National Football League is getting ready to start. Now, locally,
- 33:26Speaker 1: the Jets and Giants play their annual preseason game this
- 33:30Speaker 1: Friday night.
- 33:30Speaker 21: They go head-to-head.
- 33:32Speaker 1: A lot of talk that neither starting quarterback is going
- 33:34Speaker 1: to play. Geno Smith for the Jets. Jackson Dart for
- 33:39Speaker 1: the Giants. And then they start the season in two weeks. Locally,
- 33:43Speaker 1: September 13th on a Sunday. Jets will take on Tennessee
- 33:47Speaker 1: at 1. Giants will host the Dallas Cowboys. Big game,
- 33:51Speaker 1: 820 Sunday night, week one.
- 33:56Speaker 21: But my friend Colin Coward over at Fox Sports, he
- 33:59Speaker 21: put out.
- 33:59Speaker 1: Yesterday his predictions for both conferences, including the NFC East,
- 34:06Speaker 1: where the Giants play, and the AFC East, where the
- 34:09Speaker 1: Jets play. Let's start with the AFC East. Colin Coward-Lewis,
- 34:13Speaker 1: cut number 12.
- 34:14Speaker 22: So today I'm going to do the AFC. Let's start
- 34:18Speaker 22: with the AFC East. The Bills are the largest favorite.
- 34:21Speaker 22: They've won this division five or six years. I'll take
- 34:24Speaker 22: them to win the division. New England's schedule is much tougher.
- 34:28Speaker 22: The Jets in third. They have too much talent. Dolphins
- 34:30Speaker 22: are rebuilding, but I'll pick them easily for fourth. The
- 34:33Speaker 22: AFC North, I don't think this one's difficult. I'm going
- 34:36Speaker 22: to go with Baltimore. I just think Baltimore's got more
- 34:38Speaker 22: good players. Cincinnati, I have as a new playoff team. Finally,
- 34:42Speaker 22: it looks like Joe Burrow will be able to win
- 34:45Speaker 22: without a track suit on. Steelers, listen, they've been a
- 34:49Speaker 22: bad offense for years. They won't be. I think they'll
- 34:52Speaker 22: be competent. Cleveland, I don't hate them. I just don't
- 34:55Speaker 22: know who's quarterback. Let's go to the AFC South. There's
- 34:58Speaker 22: a lot of good defenses in the NFL. There's one
- 35:01Speaker 22: Texans defense. I'm going to go Colts over the Jags.
- 35:05Speaker 22: I like the Colts talent, but because they don't have
- 35:07Speaker 22: a star quarterback, everybody looks at Indianapolis and doesn't really
- 35:12Speaker 22: pay attention to how damn good they were last year.
- 35:14Speaker 22: Jags lost Travis ATN, who was very productive for them.
- 35:17Speaker 22: And the Titans for fourth, I actually like Robert Sala
- 35:20Speaker 22: and Brian Dayball. Let's go to the AFC West. I
- 35:23Speaker 22: have the Chargers. They upgraded offensive coordinator. They have both
- 35:26Speaker 22: tackles back. I think they're more talented than Kansas City.
- 35:29Speaker 22: That's going to rely on Mahomes off an injury. I'll
- 35:32Speaker 22: give Kansas City credit. I think they get back to
- 35:34Speaker 22: the playoffs. What worried me about Denver was the inconsistency
- 35:38Speaker 22: of offensive play. Raiders could be the best fourth place
- 35:41Speaker 22: team in football.
- 35:42Speaker 1: There you have it, the AFC. So he likes the
- 35:45Speaker 1: Jets for third. He loves the Chargers. I don't see that.
- 35:48Speaker 1: I disagree with Colin big time on that one. Now
- 35:51Speaker 1: let's get to the NFC, and I'll start with the
- 35:54Speaker 1: NFC East, specifically my New York football giants, cut number 11.
- 35:59Speaker 22: Today we'll do the NFC. We start, I'm still going
- 36:02Speaker 22: with Philadelphia, winning the NFC East.
- 36:05Speaker 1: A.J.
- 36:06Speaker 22: Brown leaving is not a hit. Now I'm going to
- 36:09Speaker 22: go with the Giants over the Cowboys. They were 1-7
- 36:12Speaker 22: last year. In those one-score games, it will even out. Dallas,
- 36:17Speaker 22: they were not good against playoff teams last year. They
- 36:20Speaker 22: were the most penalized team in the NFL last year.
- 36:23Speaker 22: And Washington just doesn't have enough talent. I don't like
- 36:26Speaker 22: Washington right now going forward. NFC North. I think the
- 36:30Speaker 22: Lions have a combination of the best roster in division
- 36:35Speaker 22: and the easiest schedule in the entire league this year.
- 36:38Speaker 22: I'm going to go Chicago second. They were a great
- 36:41Speaker 22: fourth quarter team last year. They probably can't quite equal
- 36:44Speaker 22: that magic. I'm going to choose Green Bay over Minnesota.
- 36:48Speaker 22: Not only do they get Micah Parsons back in October,
- 36:51Speaker 22: but they also get Tucker Kraft back. Minnesota is going
- 36:54Speaker 22: to be the best fourth place team in the NFL.
- 36:57Speaker 22: NFC South, the second easiest schedule in football is the Saints.
- 37:01Speaker 22: Tyler Shuck, it looks like they found their guy. I
- 37:03Speaker 22: think Carolina will vie for the division title and a
- 37:06Speaker 22: playoff spot. Tampa Bay, you got a coach on the
- 37:09Speaker 22: hot seat. I worry about Tampa. And Atlanta, who's the quarterback?
- 37:13Speaker 22: We don't know. Finally, the NFC West, Seattle to win
- 37:16Speaker 22: over the Rams. All their best players, all of them
- 37:18Speaker 22: in their prime. Rams, they could win the Super Bowl.
- 37:21Speaker 22: San Francisco, I worry about it. They have the oldest roster.
- 37:24Speaker 22: And then Arizona, bit.
- 37:26Speaker 10: Of a mess.
- 37:27Speaker 1: All right, there you have it. Arizona, bit of a mess.
- 37:29Speaker 1: So that is Colin Coward. I love the Rams, too.
- 37:33Speaker 1: For some reason, he liked Seattle more. They won the
- 37:36Speaker 1: Super Bowl last year, so it's not crazy. But I
- 37:39Speaker 1: really love the Rams. Anyway, we've got a huge guest
- 37:41Speaker 1: list coming up today. We're going to start. Coming up
- 37:43Speaker 1: at 9 o'clock this morning, big, big story, this Lindsay
- 37:46Speaker 1: Clancy trial. And I'm on record saying I don't believe
- 37:51Speaker 1: she's evil. What she did was evil. I mean, I
- 37:56Speaker 1: consider myself a pretty good dad. I love my kids.
- 37:59Speaker 1: Love them. I couldn't imagine anybody hurting their children, let
- 38:03Speaker 1: alone strangling, murdering their three children. Lindsay Clancy did that.
- 38:09Speaker 1: But the question is, is she just an evil murderer
- 38:13Speaker 1: or somebody who, between the wrong meds, postpartum depression, and
- 38:18Speaker 1: a whole bunch of other stuff, had a bad day?
- 38:21Speaker 18: You know?
- 38:22Speaker 1: I know it sounds trivial when I put it that way,
- 38:25Speaker 1: but is that the case? And they're going to start
- 38:28Speaker 1: their closing arguments in that trial today. So our good friend,
- 38:32Speaker 1: the big Chicago Bears fan, Fox News' Donna Rotuno, she's
- 38:36Speaker 1: going to stop by first. And before it's all said
- 38:38Speaker 1: and done, Matt Brooks, Gordon Chang, and how about this one?
- 38:42Speaker 1: Enos Cantor-Freedom tried to join the WNBA. He's trying to
- 38:48Speaker 1: get drafted. got thrown out of a WNBA game just
- 38:52Speaker 1: last week. He was wearing a shirt with the definition
- 38:55Speaker 1: of woman. But Cantor is a lot bigger than just
- 39:00Speaker 1: this WNBA controversy. Don't forget, he's from Turkey. Erdogan hates him.
- 39:05Speaker 1: He banned him from coming back to the country. There
- 39:08Speaker 1: are rumors that he wants to run for Congress in 2028.
- 39:10Speaker 1: There are rumors that he loves Israel. There are rumors
- 39:14Speaker 1: that he hates Israel. There are rumors that he's all
- 39:17Speaker 1: about the Muslim Brotherhood. So, not just about basketball with Enos,
- 39:22Speaker 1: let's see what he's willing to answer when he's on
- 39:25Speaker 1: with me coming up at 9 o'clock this morning. This
- 39:29Speaker 1: one could be an all-time great, or it could suck.
- 39:32Speaker 1: We're going to see.
- 39:33Speaker 21: We're going to see.
- 39:34Speaker 1: All right, so a big, big show about to come
- 39:35Speaker 1: your way Thursday.
- 39:37Speaker 2: Sid and Friends in the Morning on the Red Apple
- 39:42Speaker 2: Podcast Network.
- 39:44Speaker 21: Our good friend Donna Rotuno. Donna, good morning.
- 39:46Speaker 18: How are you?
- 39:47Speaker 15: Good morning, Sid. I'm great.
- 39:49Speaker 1: How are you? I'm great. Before we get to the
- 39:51Speaker 1: Lindsay Clancy stuff, I just played a cut from Colin Coward,
- 39:54Speaker 1: you know, him, very famous sports guy. And he says
- 39:57Speaker 1: Caleb Williams and the Bears will finish second to the Lions.
- 40:03Speaker 21: Any thoughts?
- 40:05Speaker 23: You know, Sid, here's the thing about being a Bears fan.
- 40:08Speaker 23: You can make all the predictions you want, and you're
- 40:10Speaker 23: usually wrong. So I would love to say that because
- 40:15Speaker 23: Ben Johnson has it out for the Lions, that he
- 40:17Speaker 23: will do everything he can do to make sure that
- 40:19Speaker 23: doesn't happen. But, you know, any given Sunday, Sid.
- 40:22Speaker 1: That's well said. You're right. And he does have it out,
- 40:25Speaker 1: Ben Johnson, for the Lions.
- 40:26Speaker 21: All right, let's get to what he does.
- 40:28Speaker 1: So the other day I had you on, and we
- 40:32Speaker 1: talked about this case. And they put the Instagram clip
- 40:35Speaker 1: up on my page, and you have since liked it.
- 40:38Speaker 1: And I said that day, I said, I don't think
- 40:40Speaker 1: Lindsay Clancy is evil. I think the combination of the
- 40:43Speaker 1: meds she was on and obviously postpartum depression. Look, what
- 40:48Speaker 1: she did was evil. You murder your own children. But
- 40:52Speaker 1: I don't think that a maximum security prison is where
- 40:54Speaker 1: she belongs. I think she belongs in a crazy house.
- 40:57Speaker 1: They're going to start the, I guess, the closing arguments
- 41:00Speaker 1: at 9 o'clock this morning. What are you thinking?
- 41:04Speaker 23: I agree with you, Sid. I think the problem is
- 41:06Speaker 23: people are looking at this in two very black and
- 41:09Speaker 23: white ways. They're saying you killed three people. You're an
- 41:12Speaker 23: awful human and you should go to prison. Or they're saying,
- 41:15Speaker 23: you know, we feel so sorry for her. She's the victim.
- 41:18Speaker 23: I think neither one of those are true. I don't
- 41:20Speaker 23: think she's a victim, but I do think she deserves
- 41:23Speaker 23: the mental health defense that's available to her. given the
- 41:27Speaker 23: documented history of mental health treatment, mental health diagnoses, medications
- 41:32Speaker 23: that she was on. So, you know, two things can
- 41:35Speaker 23: be true at one time. It can be an awful,
- 41:37Speaker 23: horrible situation, but also she's entitled to the defense when
- 41:42Speaker 23: the defense fits the facts. And that doesn't mean she's
- 41:45Speaker 23: a victim. So I think that there's something lost in
- 41:47Speaker 23: translation here. It's like, if you say that you don't
- 41:50Speaker 23: think she should go to prison, all of a sudden you're, you're,
- 41:53Speaker 23: you know, on her side, right? No, it's not that
- 41:55Speaker 23: you're on her side, right?
- 41:57Speaker 18: You're right.
- 41:58Speaker 23: You're saying that she has this right to have this defense.
- 42:02Speaker 23: And I agree with you. She should be in a
- 42:03Speaker 23: hospital and frankly said, whatever they do to her today
- 42:07Speaker 23: and or tomorrow or whatever, the jury makes the decision.
- 42:10Speaker 23: She will never live a normal life. She will live
- 42:13Speaker 23: in a prison.
- 42:14Speaker 20: In her mind.
- 42:14Speaker 23: So I'm just not sure what justice really looks like.
- 42:18Speaker 23: What does it really do to put her in prison
- 42:20Speaker 23: for the rest of her life? What does that solve?
- 42:22Speaker 1: My dear friend Joe Takapina is on the show every Friday.
- 42:25Speaker 1: Great defense attorney. You know, 47 years we've been friends.
- 42:29Speaker 1: And Friday I brought up a story. It's a horrible
- 42:31Speaker 1: story about this young Pennsylvania guy. And he's dating this
- 42:36Speaker 1: very young girl on her way to a school in
- 42:39Speaker 1: Pennsylvania on a soccer scholarship.
- 42:42Speaker 21: Two beautiful kids, both very good looking. They're very, very cute.
- 42:46Speaker 1: They go out and he calls her to the house.
- 42:47Speaker 1: He wants to give her something. He runs inside the house.
- 42:51Speaker 1: She thinks he's getting her what she's going to get.
- 42:54Speaker 1: And what she got was... a brutal knife attack, and
- 42:57Speaker 1: he murdered her in the car. Now, he says, demons
- 43:01Speaker 1: told me to do it. Takapina said, okay, but hold on.
- 43:05Speaker 1: He also told his mom, help me. The mother cleaned
- 43:09Speaker 1: the car. They disposed of the body. So unlike the
- 43:12Speaker 1: Lindsay Clancy case, where I think the mental health argument
- 43:16Speaker 1: is much easier, but this guy, Moser, in Pennsylvania, he
- 43:21Speaker 1: did way too much before and after killing for that
- 43:25Speaker 1: demon stuff to work because we also found out he
- 43:27Speaker 1: said she didn't like something he didn't like, I should say,
- 43:30Speaker 1: something she said to him. So it looks to me
- 43:33Speaker 1: like that kid's in bigger trouble. What do you think?
- 43:35Speaker 23: Well, absolutely, and we have heard no evidence that that
- 43:38Speaker 23: kid has had any history of any mental health treatment whatsoever.
- 43:42Speaker 23: So what, all of a sudden, this normal, healthy guy
- 43:44Speaker 23: hears voices? I think that's a lot different than a
- 43:46Speaker 23: woman who has a documented history of seeking help and
- 43:50Speaker 23: progressively getting worse. So, yes, everybody says, well, you know,
- 43:54Speaker 23: are these defenses going to get out of control because
- 43:56Speaker 23: of Lindsey Clancy? No, they're not. I mean, there may
- 43:58Speaker 23: be people that make these claims to the police when
- 44:02Speaker 23: they get arrested. But if there's no evidence of it,
- 44:04Speaker 23: no lawyer is going to put that forward in court.
- 44:07Speaker 21: Has there been new evidence with Kohlberger?
- 44:09Speaker 1: He's the guy accused of killing those four beautiful people
- 44:12Speaker 1: in Idaho inside that house off the college campus. Because
- 44:16Speaker 1: I know there's a hearing and he may have a
- 44:18Speaker 1: chance to withdraw the pleas. Why is that the case?
- 44:22Speaker 23: So Koberger has filed a motion to withdraw his plea,
- 44:25Speaker 23: stating basically ineffective assistance of counsel, that his rights were
- 44:29Speaker 23: violated because his lawyer told him all these things that
- 44:32Speaker 23: were not true. His lawyer kept pieces of evidence from
- 44:35Speaker 23: him that he was unaware of. And if he was
- 44:38Speaker 23: aware of those things, he never would have entered his plea.
- 44:41Speaker 23: So the judge has set a hearing down for this
- 44:44Speaker 23: for next summer. So it's a while away where Kohlberger
- 44:48Speaker 23: is going to be able to have a hearing. And
- 44:50Speaker 23: then the judge will determine whether or not he can
- 44:52Speaker 23: withdraw his plea. It will depend what he claims at
- 44:55Speaker 23: that hearing. My guess is it will be denied, but
- 44:58Speaker 23: it's a little too soon to say, you know, given
- 45:01Speaker 23: just what we know so far. But he will have
- 45:03Speaker 23: a hearing and the judge is giving him one. And frankly,
- 45:06Speaker 23: you know, whatever happens in Kohlberger, whether he can't withdraw
- 45:10Speaker 23: his plea or if he can and then there's a trial.
- 45:13Speaker 23: I think the.
- 45:14Speaker 15: Judge will will, you.
- 45:16Speaker 23: Know, if you give them a trial, then they're going
- 45:18Speaker 23: to ask for the death penalty again. And, you know,
- 45:20Speaker 23: nothing is really lost. So whatever happens happens. I think
- 45:24Speaker 23: although it would be horrible for these families to have
- 45:26Speaker 23: to go through this again, the guy wants a trial,
- 45:29Speaker 23: give him a trial and let the government ask for death.
- 45:31Speaker 1: Well, you've been following this trial. You've heard the evidence.
- 45:33Speaker 21: Is there any doubt in your mind that Kohlberger did this?
- 45:37Speaker 15: There really isn't.
- 45:38Speaker 23: And I've talked to, on my podcast, Christopher Whitcomb, who
- 45:43Speaker 23: wrote the book Broken Plea. I also talked to Dr.
- 45:46Speaker 23: Brent Turvey, who was one of the criminologists, who actually
- 45:50Speaker 23: says that there was evidence that he thought the defense
- 45:53Speaker 23: should have explored. But again, I think the theory is
- 45:57Speaker 23: that all of that information was available to the defense
- 46:00Speaker 23: at the time of the plea. So the question will be,
- 46:03Speaker 23: you know, his lawyer will have to come and testify
- 46:05Speaker 23: and Taylor and she will have to say what he
- 46:08Speaker 23: was aware of and what he wasn't. He has been
- 46:10Speaker 23: appointed new lawyers. So, you know, we'll see how it
- 46:13Speaker 23: comes down in terms of evidence itself. I think that
- 46:16Speaker 23: there is evidence to to convict him.
- 46:18Speaker 1: Overwhelming.
- 46:19Speaker 18: We'll see.
- 46:19Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll see.
- 46:20Speaker 21: Final minute.
- 46:21Speaker 1: No, you have to go on Fox News here momentarily.
- 46:23Speaker 1: I love watching you on TV. You do a great job.
- 46:25Speaker 1: So what are they talking about? You're welcome. Kohlberger or
- 46:28Speaker 1: Moser or Clancy. Every time I see Donna Ratuno on
- 46:33Speaker 1: Fox News, somehow they find a way to include Luigi Mangione.
- 46:38Speaker 21: What about today?
- 46:41Speaker 15: Yes, they do.
- 46:41Speaker 23: I don't think we'll talk Luigi today, but Luigi today
- 46:44Speaker 23: is now a convicted felon in federal court, and he
- 46:47Speaker 23: is seeking to have his state court charges in New
- 46:50Speaker 23: York dismissed. There is a hearing set for that. I
- 46:54Speaker 23: think they go to court in October and then again
- 46:57Speaker 23: December 10th. And then he has his sentencing in federal
- 47:00Speaker 23: court December 18th. So, you know, his fate, regardless one
- 47:04Speaker 23: way or another, he will spend a very, very long
- 47:07Speaker 23: time in prison, regardless of what happens with the state charges.
- 47:10Speaker 1: He's a coward and a scumbag.
- 47:12Speaker 18: No question.
- 47:14Speaker 21: Donna, I love you.
- 47:15Speaker 1: I'll be watching you on Fox News. I got it
- 47:16Speaker 1: on inside my studio right here in about seven minutes.
- 47:19Speaker 1: Thank you for another amazing appearance. We'll talk again very,
- 47:21Speaker 1: very soon. Thank you.
- 47:22Speaker 23: Anytime. So thanks.
- 47:24Speaker 1: Donna Rotuno right there, Fox News. And she really is great.
- 47:27Speaker 1: All these big cases. Lots of crazy people out there, Justin, right?
- 47:30Speaker 1: Crazy people.
- 47:31Speaker 18: Crazy.
- 47:32Speaker 24: Yeah, I'm one of them.
- 47:33Speaker 1: Yeah, but you haven't committed any awful crimes.
- 47:35Speaker 18: That's true.
- 47:35Speaker 21: I mean, you are crazy.
- 47:37Speaker 18: Yeah.
- 47:37Speaker 1: But you're not a criminal.
- 47:39Speaker 18: No.
- 47:40Speaker 15: As far as I know.
- 47:40Speaker 18: I don't know.
- 47:41Speaker 1: I'm not with you all day, every day. I don't
- 47:42Speaker 1: know what you do.
- 47:43Speaker 8: He's crazy.
- 47:44Speaker 20: He is, right?
- 47:44Speaker 8: Yeah, he's crazy.
- 47:45Speaker 1: He has a bed. Small misdemeanors. He has a loft.
- 47:48Speaker 1: He lives in a very small apartment, Justin, in New
- 47:51Speaker 1: York City. Okay? Very small.
- 47:52Speaker 18: Yeah.
- 47:52Speaker 1: And he has a bed. It's a loft. It's a loft.
- 47:54Speaker 1: So what he does is, because he's a filthy degenerate,
- 47:58Speaker 1: he makes the girl walk up the stairs first. The stairs?
- 48:02Speaker 1: It's a ladder. The ladder. He makes the girl walk
- 48:05Speaker 1: up the ladder first so he can look at her.
- 48:09Speaker 1: Hopefully she's wearing, for Justin at least, a miniskirt or
- 48:12Speaker 1: I don't know what. Usually nothing, but that's fine. Is
- 48:15Speaker 1: that right? God, look at you. That's not true. Is
- 48:20Speaker 1: that true? But why did that story come out? Did
- 48:23Speaker 1: he make the girl walk up first, even? Why did
- 48:24Speaker 1: that even come out? I don't know.
- 48:26Speaker 24: You seem to get some weird things out of me sometimes.
- 48:28Speaker 1: Oh, so you actually did tell me that. Yeah, I
- 48:31Speaker 1: said it on the air. I don't remember if it
- 48:32Speaker 1: was Noam or somebody else. Yeah, I think so. So
- 48:34Speaker 1: you were bragging about that. Yes, yes. Yeah, for sure. Okay,
- 48:37Speaker 1: so you do have, at least, at the very least,
- 48:40Speaker 1: a deviant, right?
- 48:41Speaker 18: Um.
- 48:43Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 48:43Speaker 18: Yes.
- 48:44Speaker 21: Is your mom listening right now?
- 48:45Speaker 24: I would say that's being generous.
- 48:50Speaker 21: All right.
- 48:50Speaker 1: Donna does a great job. And we covered four major
- 48:53Speaker 1: cases here on Sid and Friends in the morning. We're
- 48:55Speaker 1: going to take a short break. Lots more to do today, including.
- 48:59Speaker 1: This guy is all over Fox News today. He's been
- 49:01Speaker 1: all over the news the last week. Former NBA player
- 49:06Speaker 1: trying to become a WNBA player, Enos Cantor Freedom. He'll
- 49:12Speaker 1: join me at about 8.55 this morning. All that coming up.
- 49:16Speaker 2: Sid and Friends in the Morning on the Red Apple
- 49:20Speaker 2: Podcast Network.
- 49:22Speaker 1: Justin, this morning, it's like you care about Tim Curry,
- 49:25Speaker 1: and it's like it's so incensed the way he asked
- 49:26Speaker 1: the question. The poor guy died. I mean, I guess
- 49:29Speaker 1: I care, but no, I don't care.
- 49:30Speaker 8: But we kind of, like I didn't know. I knew
- 49:33Speaker 8: you weren't going to care.
- 49:33Speaker 21: You know, right?
- 49:34Speaker 8: Of course, because it doesn't make sense. It's not in
- 49:37Speaker 8: the same breath.
- 49:39Speaker 1: You know, Cheryl Marie, one of our listeners, said they
- 49:41Speaker 1: come in threes. And she texted me. She's a nice girl.
- 49:45Speaker 1: She used to be a cop. She said, Dolly Parton,
- 49:48Speaker 1: Tim Curry, and Rosanna's mother. Is it Rosanna Scotto? Oh, yes.
- 49:54Speaker 20: Oh, yes.
- 49:54Speaker 8: Greg made a mention of that.
- 49:56Speaker 1: Rosanna lost her mother?
- 49:57Speaker 18: Yeah. Oh, no.
- 49:59Speaker 15: Yeah.
- 50:00Speaker 1: She just lost her father two years ago. You know
- 50:02Speaker 1: that I actually went to St. Patrick's Cathedral once. when
- 50:07Speaker 1: her father was deathly ill, to pray for him? Did
- 50:10Speaker 1: you know that? Yeah, I remember that.
- 50:11Speaker 21: You remember that?
- 50:12Speaker 1: Yeah, I remember that. And I called Rosanna. I said,
- 50:15Speaker 1: I'm in church right now praying for your father. She goes, no,
- 50:17Speaker 1: you're not. I am. And he died. Her mother died. Yeah, unfortunately.
- 50:22Speaker 18: Ay, ay, ay.
- 50:23Speaker 1: Terrible. Yeah, I'm going to right now. When did this happen?
- 50:26Speaker 18: Yesterday?
- 50:27Speaker 1: I believe, yes. I believe so. Yeah, Greg would know
- 50:29Speaker 1: about that. He's still close to Rosanna, right?
- 50:31Speaker 8: That's when Greg said it yesterday.
- 50:33Speaker 18: Ay, ay, ay.
- 50:34Speaker 1: Well, that's how Cheryl Marie probably knew because she listens
- 50:37Speaker 1: to me and Greg, so that's terrible.
- 50:39Speaker 8: Yeah, there's a few that happened. Shelly Fabre's died.
- 50:42Speaker 1: She died too, yeah. Yeah, she was a pretty lady
- 50:44Speaker 1: and a good actress, yes.
- 50:45Speaker 8: She was in a lot of Elvis movies.
- 50:47Speaker 1: Yes, a lot of Elvis movies.
- 50:48Speaker 8: You know who she's married to?
- 50:50Speaker 23: Who?
- 50:51Speaker 8: Mike Farrell from MASH.
- 50:53Speaker 21: Oh, yeah, sure, sure.
- 50:55Speaker 1: Isn't he dead? No, he's alive. Okay.
- 50:57Speaker 8: He and Alan Alda, I think, are the only two left.
- 51:00Speaker 1: Alan Alda used to pop by these studios once in
- 51:02Speaker 1: a while. The old one at the Garden with Joan Hamburg.
- 51:05Speaker 15: Did he?
- 51:05Speaker 21: All the time.
- 51:06Speaker 2: Wow.
- 51:07Speaker 1: Joan Hamburg very close with Alan Alda.
- 51:09Speaker 15: Oh.
- 51:09Speaker 21: And Alec Baldwin.
- 51:11Speaker 1: All these New York, you know, big actors and all
- 51:15Speaker 1: liberal douchebags, of course.
- 51:17Speaker 20: He is, yes.
- 51:18Speaker 1: Alan and Alec and all of them.
- 51:20Speaker 8: He's in his mid-90s.
- 51:21Speaker 1: Alda?
- 51:22Speaker 8: Alan Alda.
- 51:22Speaker 1: Is that right?
- 51:23Speaker 18: Yeah.
- 51:23Speaker 8: He's way up there now.
- 51:26Speaker 1: You know, I never liked that show. I never got
- 51:28Speaker 1: into MASH. Never?
- 51:29Speaker 3: Never.
- 51:29Speaker 18: Never.
- 51:30Speaker 1: Never liked it. Oh, I like MASH.
- 51:32Speaker 18: Yeah.
- 51:32Speaker 1: Never watched it.
- 51:33Speaker 8: It jumped the shark two years before it was over.
- 51:35Speaker 1: I don't even know.
- 51:36Speaker 21: I never thought Loretta Swift was pretty.
- 51:38Speaker 23: Ever.
- 51:39Speaker 8: No, not really.
- 51:40Speaker 1: What was her name again? Hot Lips. Hot Lips.
- 51:43Speaker 8: Hot Lips.
- 51:43Speaker 1: The guy that played, what was his name?
- 51:45Speaker 21: Radar?
- 51:46Speaker 1: That guy annoyed the hell out of me.
- 51:48Speaker 21: Radar. He was so stupid.
- 51:50Speaker 1: I never got into it. I know McClane Stevenson, big
- 51:53Speaker 1: time actor. Alan Hall, the big time actor. But, you know,
- 51:56Speaker 1: like 8 billion people around the world watched the finale.
- 51:59Speaker 22: Yeah.
- 52:00Speaker 1: Yes. I didn't watch one second of it. But then again, look,
- 52:03Speaker 1: I never really got all into Seinfeld. I watched it,
- 52:07Speaker 1: but it wasn't like I had to be home to
- 52:09Speaker 1: watch Seinfeld.
- 52:10Speaker 21: I wasn't one of those guys. I never watched Friends.
- 52:13Speaker 15: Never.
- 52:13Speaker 1: I actually watch it now in its syndication years later.
- 52:18Speaker 8: Yeah, they're good shows.
- 52:19Speaker 1: But I went out.
- 52:20Speaker 8: Yeah, I know.
- 52:21Speaker 1: Like, Thursday night, I was at Captain Walter's in Sheepshead Bay.
- 52:25Speaker 1: Tuesday night, I was at Wheeler's in Sheepshead Bay. Monday night,
- 52:29Speaker 1: sometimes the China Club in New York City. I'm not
- 52:33Speaker 1: saying home to watch MASH. No, you were making your
- 52:35Speaker 1: own sitcom.
- 52:36Speaker 18: Or Friends.
- 52:36Speaker 1: You were making your own sitcom. Exactly.
- 52:39Speaker 21: I can't remember the last time there was a.
- 52:41Speaker 1: Sitcom that I never missed. probably happy days.
- 52:44Speaker 21: Tuesday night for me was the best.
- 52:46Speaker 8: I can't be it that long yeah because.
- 52:49Speaker 1: I was a young kid I was home on Tuesday
- 52:51Speaker 1: nights and I got happy days Laverne and Shirley three's
- 52:55Speaker 1: company nine to five talking about Dolly Parton and heart
- 52:59Speaker 1: to heart I love that show yeah that was a
- 53:01Speaker 1: good night Robert Wagner and Stephanie Powers Lionel Standing played
- 53:05Speaker 1: Max okay it's a great night of TV then you
- 53:08Speaker 1: had Vegas on Thursday night to Robert Ulrich I love
- 53:11Speaker 1: that show.
- 53:11Speaker 8: But you were not back to the 70s where Mary
- 53:14Speaker 8: Tyler Moore?
- 53:15Speaker 1: Nope. Too young for that.
- 53:16Speaker 8: Okay.
- 53:17Speaker 21: No Mary Tyler Moore.
- 53:18Speaker 8: MASH was 70s.
- 53:19Speaker 21: No MASH. No Lou Grant afterwards.
- 53:22Speaker 8: Odd couple?
- 53:23Speaker 1: A little bit at the end.
- 53:25Speaker 18: Okay.
- 53:25Speaker 1: I thought it was funny, but I was young. Remember,
- 53:28Speaker 1: I'm born in 1967.
- 53:30Speaker 8: Yeah, you're three years behind me.
- 53:33Speaker 21: Yeah, so the odd couple was a little before my time.
- 53:36Speaker 1: A little bit, you know. I like Mork and Mindy.
- 53:39Speaker 21: Real genius I am, huh?
- 53:40Speaker 24: Yeah, you are.
- 53:42Speaker 8: It's true.
- 53:43Speaker 21: I love Bosom Buddies with Tom Hanks.
- 53:45Speaker 1: I love that show. But I know these are all classics.
- 53:48Speaker 1: Don't get me wrong. I know I'm in the minority,
- 53:50Speaker 1: but I don't care.
- 53:50Speaker 8: All in the Family, then, you missed a lot of.
- 53:53Speaker 1: Yeah, but I watched it for years, and I love
- 53:55Speaker 1: that show. I never miss that afterwards. I like that show, Alf.
- 54:01Speaker 1: You ever watch that?
- 54:02Speaker 18: I know.
- 54:02Speaker 8: That's about as dumb as it gets.
- 54:04Speaker 1: Come on. Are you really.
- 54:07Speaker 8: I liked it. Don't ever make fun of shows that
- 54:10Speaker 8: I like again.
- 54:11Speaker 18: What?
- 54:11Speaker 1: Because I like Alf?
- 54:12Speaker 3: Alf.
- 54:13Speaker 1: What?
- 54:14Speaker 8: One of the dumbest concepts for it. Are you kidding?
- 54:16Speaker 1: It was a cute show.
- 54:18Speaker 8: A family adopts this little stupid thing.
- 54:20Speaker 1: Don't worry about it. Okay, fine.
- 54:21Speaker 8: Yeah. It's so dumb, you can't even remember the plot.
- 54:24Speaker 8: It's so stupid.
- 54:25Speaker 1: I think I watched it twice.
- 54:26Speaker 9: Alf.
- 54:26Speaker 21: But I think I loved it.
- 54:28Speaker 8: They were really running out of sitcom ideas when you.
- 54:30Speaker 1: Came up with that.
- 54:31Speaker 21: No, that was one that caught my attention.
- 54:33Speaker 1: Let's just put it that way. Okay.
- 54:36Speaker 8: If that kept you home, I don't know.
- 54:37Speaker 1: No, that didn't keep me home either. Nothing kept me home.
- 54:40Speaker 1: Miami Vice kept me home. I would go out after
- 54:44Speaker 1: Miami Vice on Friday nights.
- 54:45Speaker 24: Get you all pumped up.
- 54:46Speaker 1: And I would dress, I swear to God, I would
- 54:49Speaker 1: dress like the Don Johnson character.
- 54:52Speaker 21: Sonny Crockett.
- 54:53Speaker 1: I had vile pants and Hawaiian shirts.
- 54:57Speaker 21: I thought I was Sonny Crockett for a while.
- 54:58Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah. I love that show. Manny Weiss was great.
- 55:01Speaker 8: With Magnum P.I.
- 55:03Speaker 1: Never got into that.
- 55:03Speaker 8: I didn't get into it either.
- 55:05Speaker 1: I like Tom Selleck in the Blue Blood show.
- 55:08Speaker 8: Yeah, of course.
- 55:08Speaker 1: But I also never got into, what was that stupid
- 55:11Speaker 1: show with the car and David Hasselhoff on that stupid show?
- 55:14Speaker 8: Oh, Knight Rider.
- 55:14Speaker 1: Never. I also never got into it. You ready for
- 55:17Speaker 1: this one?
- 55:17Speaker 8: That was a crazy show, too.
- 55:18Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm a guy that likes porn. I never watched
- 55:21Speaker 1: the Baywatch show.
- 55:22Speaker 8: Oh, yeah, me neither.
- 55:23Speaker 1: Never.
- 55:24Speaker 8: I didn't get into it. They're coming out with a
- 55:26Speaker 8: new one, by the way.
- 55:27Speaker 1: They are?
- 55:27Speaker 25: Yeah.
- 55:29Speaker 1: See, now I'm old and dirty, so I'll probably watch
- 55:32Speaker 1: it now.
- 55:34Speaker 8: Libby Dunn is.
- 55:36Speaker 1: Who's it?
- 55:36Speaker 8: Libby Dunn.
- 55:37Speaker 1: Libby Dunn! Is she still dating the picture from the Pirates?
- 55:40Speaker 18: Yes, of course.
- 55:41Speaker 1: Paul Skeens? Yes, of course. He'll be yanking you one
- 55:43Speaker 1: of these days.
- 55:44Speaker 24: She's way out of his league.
- 55:45Speaker 1: Well... Night Rider. You know, when I first started doing sports,
- 55:49Speaker 1: Night Rider was so bad, it was so stupid.
- 55:51Speaker 8: Michael, there's a red light approaching.
- 55:54Speaker 20: I'm begging you.
- 55:54Speaker 8: I think we are not going to make it. The
- 55:56Speaker 8: suspect will get away. I would suggest taking an alternate route.
- 56:00Speaker 1: Oh, you know what I did like? I liked Dr.
- 56:04Speaker 1: Bones and what the hell was that? There's a Martians,
- 56:07Speaker 1: you know, was out of space.
- 56:11Speaker 21: Not The Sleece, Docs. Not Lost in Space.
- 56:13Speaker 8: It was just called.
- 56:14Speaker 1: Yeah, come on.
- 56:15Speaker 22: Dr.
- 56:15Speaker 21: Bones was like the protagonist.
- 56:17Speaker 1: It was just called Lost in Space. He's telling you
- 56:21Speaker 1: what it's called. No, Lost in Space.
- 56:23Speaker 8: Oh, the thing where they're out in space?
- 56:25Speaker 1: Yes. Well, no.
- 56:26Speaker 21: Lost in Space are in Brooklyn. Yes, they're in space.
- 56:30Speaker 8: You kind of jumped errors.
- 56:32Speaker 1: I don't know a lot of stuff here. My mind
- 56:36Speaker 1: works very, very quickly.
- 56:37Speaker 21: That's why I'm number one.
- 56:38Speaker 8: That explains a lot.
- 56:39Speaker 1: You know, when I first started doing sports... Shut up, Justin.
- 56:43Speaker 18: God.
- 56:44Speaker 1: So I worked with this guy named Scott Kaplan, and
- 56:47Speaker 1: we went to every event. We covered every major event.
- 56:49Speaker 1: Super Bowls, MLB World Series, NBA Finals, All-Star Games.
- 56:55Speaker 21: We did it all. And I remember.
- 56:58Speaker 1: The first time they called me and they said, call Danielle.
- 57:03Speaker 1: I was married back then. I married 34 years. Tell
- 57:05Speaker 1: her that you and Scott are going to Honolulu to
- 57:09Speaker 1: cover the Pro Bowl. I'm like, wow, I am? Who's
- 57:13Speaker 1: dying to go to Hawaii? I'm going to Hawaii. And
- 57:16Speaker 1: we did. We went to Kona, not Honolulu, but we
- 57:20Speaker 1: went back and forth. to the practices and saw all
- 57:23Speaker 1: the players, even hung out with some of the players.
- 57:27Speaker 1: Back then, it was like Wesley Walls and Tim Brown.
- 57:30Speaker 1: These are the big names. So for three straight years,
- 57:33Speaker 1: Scott and I covered the Pro Bowl in Hawaii. Well,
- 57:37Speaker 1: you can't do that anymore. They paid for the whole trip.
- 57:39Speaker 1: How about that? That's nice.
- 57:41Speaker 21: The five-star hotel in Kona.
- 57:43Speaker 24: That's nice.
- 57:44Speaker 1: The whole thing, it was beautiful. And I liked it.
- 57:47Speaker 21: You know, don't forget, when the Giants.
- 57:50Speaker 1: won their first Super Bowl, 1986. Bill Sims had that
- 57:55Speaker 1: amazing game, beat John Elway and the Broncos in Pasadena.
- 57:59Speaker 1: You know what else Bill Sims won that year? The
- 58:02Speaker 1: Pro Bowl MVP. It was amazing.
- 58:05Speaker 18: Amazing.
- 58:06Speaker 1: And I was so excited. Bill Sims and the Pro
- 58:09Speaker 1: Bowl win it. But then, all these Pro Bowls, all
- 58:12Speaker 1: these All-Star games, became garbage. And Fox, with the dumbest
- 58:17Speaker 1: idea ever, they decided... They're going to make the winner
- 58:22Speaker 1: of the baseball all-star game. Game seven, they'll get to
- 58:26Speaker 1: host in the World Series. The dumbest thing I've ever heard.
- 58:30Speaker 8: Well, they were trying to bring it.
- 58:32Speaker 1: No, they spent a lot of money. They needed eyeballs.
- 58:35Speaker 1: But you can't take an exhibition game and have that
- 58:38Speaker 1: game determine who gets the seventh and deciding game in
- 58:42Speaker 1: a World Series. That was ridiculous. And nobody watched anyway.
- 58:46Speaker 1: It didn't matter.
- 58:47Speaker 23: Right.
- 58:47Speaker 21: It didn't help.
- 58:48Speaker 8: No, it didn't help.
- 58:49Speaker 18: No.
- 58:49Speaker 21: These all-star games are dumb.
- 58:51Speaker 18: All of them.
- 58:51Speaker 1: NBA, they score 400 points.
- 58:53Speaker 23: Yeah.
- 58:54Speaker 19: It's stupid.
- 58:55Speaker 21: NHL is, isn't the NHL done too?
- 58:57Speaker 4: No.
- 58:58Speaker 1: No, they still do it.
- 59:00Speaker 24: Yeah, but I kind of like the NHL skills competition.
- 59:03Speaker 1: Hardest slap shot. Like 13-11 is the final score of
- 59:06Speaker 1: that game.
- 59:06Speaker 8: Well, now they do it. I think they do three
- 59:08Speaker 8: on three.
- 59:09Speaker 18: Right.
- 59:09Speaker 1: Oh, that's what they do.
- 59:10Speaker 24: Do a little round robin.
- 59:11Speaker 1: I don't like any of these pro balls. The NFL
- 59:13Speaker 1: was the worst. And then you get hurt. Yeah, they
- 59:15Speaker 1: saw a running back for the Patriots. Guy was a beast.
- 59:18Speaker 1: His name was Robert Edwards. And he tore his knee playing,
- 59:22Speaker 1: you know, touch football on the sand. No good, so.
- 59:27Speaker 1: I'm not upset that that Pro Bowl was done, but
- 59:29Speaker 1: I've got great memories in Honolulu. All right, talking about Honolulu,
- 59:32Speaker 1: I am going to Vegas this weekend. That is the RJC.
- 59:35Speaker 1: It's a big deal. Is there a Honolulu in Vegas? No,
- 59:38Speaker 1: but they're both very, I guess, exotic tourist spots. Sure, sure, sure.
- 59:43Speaker 1: Very exotic.
- 59:44Speaker 18: Sure.
- 59:44Speaker 1: So my cousin Norm Coleman and Matt Brooks, they run
- 59:48Speaker 1: the RJC. They do an amazing job. It's a huge,
- 59:51Speaker 1: huge list of big-name speakers, highlighted by me and the
- 59:55Speaker 1: vice president, J.D.
- 59:56Speaker 18: Vance.
- 59:57Speaker 1: We'll talk to the aforementioned Matt Brooks back on the show.
- 1:00:00Speaker 1: He's coming up next.
- 1:00:02Speaker 2: Sid and Friends in the Morning on the Red Apple
- 1:00:06Speaker 2: Podcast Network.
- 1:00:08Speaker 1: To rename the airport in Tennessee in Nashville to the
- 1:00:13Speaker 1: Dolly Parton Airport. I like that. Dolly Parton Airport in Nashville,
- 1:00:17Speaker 1: President Trump Airport in West Palm Beach, and Sid Rosenberg
- 1:00:24Speaker 1: Airport in, where would that be, Alec?
- 1:00:27Speaker 24: Well, I guess you'd have to, maybe Brooklyn.
- 1:00:30Speaker 1: Is there an airport in Brooklyn? JFK's not far. Right.
- 1:00:34Speaker 18: Right.
- 1:00:34Speaker 1: If there was an airport in Brooklyn, that would be great, right?
- 1:00:37Speaker 24: Yeah, that'd be nice.
- 1:00:37Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 1:00:38Speaker 21: Well, Mr.
- 1:00:39Speaker 1: Brooklyn's going to Vegas this weekend. You heard Norm Coleman
- 1:00:41Speaker 1: right there.
- 1:00:42Speaker 21: Norm runs the RJC with my friend Matt Brooks.
- 1:00:45Speaker 1: So I had Norm on a couple days ago, and
- 1:00:47Speaker 1: I go, Norm, I can't believe I've been doing this,
- 1:00:50Speaker 1: but because my daughter Ava goes to UPenn Law School,
- 1:00:54Speaker 1: she's doing fantastic already after a couple of weeks, I
- 1:00:58Speaker 1: find myself saying nice things about the city of brotherly hate.
- 1:01:03Speaker 1: And I hate Philly. I hate the people. I hate
- 1:01:06Speaker 1: the fans. I hate everything about Philadelphia. But now that
- 1:01:10Speaker 1: my daughter goes to school there, I'm like saying nice things.
- 1:01:14Speaker 21: It's kind of weird.
- 1:01:15Speaker 1: Now, November 8th, I'm going to go visit my daughter
- 1:01:20Speaker 1: and take Justin to see the Eagles play the Giants
- 1:01:23Speaker 1: in Philly. I'm going to beat the living daylights out
- 1:01:25Speaker 1: of Justin right there at the stadium in Philadelphia so
- 1:01:28Speaker 1: his Eagle fans scumbags can see it. But now I
- 1:01:31Speaker 1: got two issues. My daughter goes to school in Philly.
- 1:01:35Speaker 1: And my next guest, I actually love him. He's from Philly, too.
- 1:01:40Speaker 1: Matt Brooks.
- 1:01:41Speaker 21: Matt, what is a man supposed to do?
- 1:01:42Speaker 14: Well, I got to tell you, Sid, this was probably
- 1:01:49Speaker 14: the most interesting intro I've ever had.
- 1:01:51Speaker 1: To walk into.
- 1:01:53Speaker 14: Now I can see why rightly you are in the
- 1:01:55Speaker 14: Radio Hall of Fame, my friend, because that is the
- 1:01:58Speaker 14: perfect setup.
- 1:02:00Speaker 1: No, it's true.
- 1:02:00Speaker 14: By the way, Mazel Tov on that. What an incredible
- 1:02:04Speaker 14: honor for you to be named to the Hall of Fame,
- 1:02:06Speaker 14: my friend.
- 1:02:06Speaker 1: I'm so happy and proud of you. Thank you.
- 1:02:08Speaker 14: So deserved.
- 1:02:09Speaker 1: Thank you, Matt. I sent you the Trump video, and
- 1:02:12Speaker 1: you were at the White House with me on Hanukkah
- 1:02:14Speaker 1: last year, and you called me up on stage, standing
- 1:02:16Speaker 1: right there in the front with Norman. So it is
- 1:02:18Speaker 1: a big deal. Thank you very much for saying that,
- 1:02:20Speaker 1: but it's all true.
- 1:02:21Speaker 14: By the way, if you're going to the Giants game,
- 1:02:23Speaker 14: maybe I'll go with you. Maybe I'll get my friend
- 1:02:28Speaker 14: to get us some field passes. You need some protection
- 1:02:32Speaker 14: in the league. I'm worried about you getting out of
- 1:02:35Speaker 14: there alive. I might have to be your body man.
- 1:02:38Speaker 1: You know, you're not kidding because I was attacked at
- 1:02:42Speaker 1: the old stadium, veteran stadium in the 700 section, because
- 1:02:45Speaker 1: I wore a giant jersey back then. I wore an
- 1:02:48Speaker 1: LT jersey. Randall Cunningham was a quarterback. So I am
- 1:02:51Speaker 1: going to go November 8th. I'll see my daughter the
- 1:02:53Speaker 1: night before, but I'm not going to wear a giant jersey.
- 1:02:56Speaker 18: Why?
- 1:02:56Speaker 1: Because you people can't control yourselves.
- 1:03:00Speaker 18: That's smart on your part.
- 1:03:01Speaker 1: That is smart on your part. Yeah, but I heard
- 1:03:03Speaker 1: it's different now. Like, there's no jail in the stadium anymore,
- 1:03:06Speaker 1: and people have calmed down, I heard.
- 1:03:07Speaker 21: It was not a jail.
- 1:03:08Speaker 15: It was not a jail.
- 1:03:09Speaker 1: It was a maximum security prison. It was a prison.
- 1:03:11Speaker 1: It was a holding cell.
- 1:03:13Speaker 14: It was a holding cell.
- 1:03:14Speaker 20: It was not Rikers.
- 1:03:15Speaker 14: It was a holding cell.
- 1:03:17Speaker 1: I know, but why do you need a holding cell
- 1:03:19Speaker 1: in a football stadium?
- 1:03:22Speaker 18: You got to put people somewhere.
- 1:03:23Speaker 15: It's a room with like.
- 1:03:28Speaker 1: I'm sure next you're.
- 1:03:29Speaker 14: Going to dust off from almost 60 years ago throwing
- 1:03:34Speaker 14: snowballs at Santa, right?
- 1:03:35Speaker 18: That's your next.
- 1:03:36Speaker 21: No, I'm not.
- 1:03:37Speaker 1: Going to bring that up or the fact that you
- 1:03:38Speaker 1: booed Mike Schmidt, you morons in Philadelphia. But I will
- 1:03:41Speaker 1: tell you this, Matty. When I went to see my daughter,
- 1:03:44Speaker 1: I went to like 9,000 stores, bookstores and stuff. Every
- 1:03:48Speaker 1: store that I saw in and around the university had T-shirts.
- 1:03:53Speaker 1: And on the T-shirt were five faces. Maxie, Joel Embiid,
- 1:03:58Speaker 1: Jalen Brown, LeBron James. So the James signing seems to have,
- 1:04:05Speaker 1: I guess, re-energized Philadelphia basketball.
- 1:04:09Speaker 14: A hundred percent. A hundred percent. Look, the Phillies are
- 1:04:14Speaker 14: rocking and rolling right now. The Eagles are going to
- 1:04:16Speaker 14: have a great season. The Sixers and the Flyers are rebuilding.
- 1:04:19Speaker 14: Philadelphia sports fans are very happy.
- 1:04:21Speaker 1: No, it's a good city. No question about it. I
- 1:04:22Speaker 1: don't know about the Eagles. You're not worried about A.J.
- 1:04:25Speaker 18: Brown?
- 1:04:25Speaker 1: You're not worried?
- 1:04:27Speaker 20: No, no, no, not at all.
- 1:04:29Speaker 18: Okay. Not at all.
- 1:04:29Speaker 1: A lot of people think the Giants.
- 1:04:31Speaker 14: I'm just worried if your Giants are going to be
- 1:04:33Speaker 14: in last place or second to last place. I can't
- 1:04:35Speaker 14: figure out if they're going to be better than the
- 1:04:37Speaker 14: Redskins or not.
- 1:04:38Speaker 1: I got to tell you, a lot of experts are
- 1:04:39Speaker 1: picking the Giants to win the division. I'm not. I'm not.
- 1:04:44Speaker 14: I'll take that bet with you any day.
- 1:04:46Speaker 1: No, I'm not. I think the Giants come in second.
- 1:04:47Speaker 1: I really do. I think it's Eagles one, Giants two,
- 1:04:50Speaker 1: Dallas three. Washington 4. That's my prediction. All right, let's
- 1:04:54Speaker 1: get to Vegas. This is a huge event. You've got
- 1:04:57Speaker 1: an amazing amount of great Republicans. I've talked about them.
- 1:05:00Speaker 1: Norm talked about them. A few have already been on
- 1:05:02Speaker 1: the show the last couple of days. We'll get some
- 1:05:04Speaker 1: more tomorrow. So what are people looking at when they
- 1:05:06Speaker 1: get to Vegas this weekend?
- 1:05:08Speaker 14: It's going to be an incredible gathering and an important gathering. Look,
- 1:05:13Speaker 14: I think we are, as I know you talk to
- 1:05:16Speaker 14: your listeners all the time, as you know so well,
- 1:05:18Speaker 14: because you're such an important fighter and defender for the
- 1:05:21Speaker 14: Jewish people. We are in dark times, Sid. This is
- 1:05:25Speaker 14: not just for Jews in America, but for our country.
- 1:05:28Speaker 14: We are under assault. The very fabric of America is
- 1:05:32Speaker 14: at stake in this election with the rise of the
- 1:05:34Speaker 14: Democratic Socialists, with what we're seeing in Michigan, with El-Said,
- 1:05:37Speaker 14: with what you guys have had to deal with, with
- 1:05:39Speaker 14: Mondami in New York. These are a different breed of
- 1:05:43Speaker 14: candidates that are running now. These are people who fundamentally
- 1:05:47Speaker 14: hate the American ideal, who don't believe in the values
- 1:05:51Speaker 14: that have made America the greatest country in the world
- 1:05:54Speaker 14: and want to get elected or going to work to
- 1:05:56Speaker 14: undermine that. So we've got a lot at stake.
- 1:06:00Speaker 18: At this election.
- 1:06:00Speaker 14: And we're gathering the time where anti-Semitism is the worst
- 1:06:03Speaker 14: it has been in my lifetime. And you have to
- 1:06:06Speaker 14: go back to probably the 20s and 30s to see
- 1:06:08Speaker 14: a comparable time. So the fact that we have so
- 1:06:12Speaker 14: much love and support within the Republican Party, and that
- 1:06:17Speaker 14: the top leadership of the party is taking time out
- 1:06:21Speaker 14: of their days to fly across the country, to come
- 1:06:23Speaker 14: to Las Vegas, to engage with the Jewish community, to
- 1:06:25Speaker 14: speak to the country, and to talk about these issues
- 1:06:28Speaker 14: that are so vital right now. I think is critically important.
- 1:06:33Speaker 14: And of course, the fact that we've got Sid Rosenberg
- 1:06:35Speaker 14: as one of the headliners in the main room in
- 1:06:37Speaker 14: Vegas doesn't hurt either.
- 1:06:39Speaker 21: Come on, baby.
- 1:06:40Speaker 1: It's huge.
- 1:06:40Speaker 21: People will come there just to see me.
- 1:06:42Speaker 18: Huge.
- 1:06:43Speaker 14: You know, when I was growing up in New York.
- 1:06:50Speaker 1: I liked the Democrats. I liked Ed Koch, who is
- 1:06:52Speaker 1: my favorite mayor. I even like Bill Clinton. And when
- 1:06:55Speaker 1: I look around now at this Democrat party, You mentioned
- 1:06:58Speaker 1: the DSA folks. Okay, they hate the Jews. They're, you know,
- 1:07:01Speaker 1: they're Mamdani and El Sayed says he's not, but he is.
- 1:07:05Speaker 1: But even the old-timers, Chuck Schumer, what a waste he's become,
- 1:07:09Speaker 1: a complete waste, a coward, just no good. Really, any
- 1:07:13Speaker 1: of them, Kathy Hochul, the governor here in New York.
- 1:07:16Speaker 1: I look across the Democrat Party, and I find one
- 1:07:20Speaker 1: guy I like. You can invite him, in fact, if
- 1:07:21Speaker 1: you want, even though he's a Democrat, and that's John Fetterman.
- 1:07:24Speaker 1: That's it, man. So I was a young kid. I
- 1:07:26Speaker 1: really was a Democrat in Brooklyn, New York, as I've
- 1:07:29Speaker 1: gotten older. I despise this party. Something tells me you
- 1:07:34Speaker 1: may have been a Democrat at one point in your life.
- 1:07:37Speaker 1: Norman certainly was.
- 1:07:39Speaker 14: Yeah, Norm was. I was not, interestingly, but I came
- 1:07:41Speaker 14: up at a different time, right? So for me, what
- 1:07:44Speaker 14: defined me growing up was the contrast between Jimmy Carter
- 1:07:47Speaker 14: and Ronald Reagan, and it was very easy to see
- 1:07:50Speaker 14: the difference. So I became a Republican when I was
- 1:07:52Speaker 14: a kid because I was able– I clearly understood and
- 1:07:55Speaker 14: embraced Reagan's optimistic vision for America, the patriotism, the strong
- 1:08:00Speaker 14: national defense, and strong economic policies as opposed to what
- 1:08:06Speaker 14: I had experienced and what I had seen– I was
- 1:08:12Speaker 14: fortunate in my life to have had him as a
- 1:08:15Speaker 14: dear friend and we had gotten to know each other
- 1:08:17Speaker 14: after he had been mayor. And in fact, we traveled
- 1:08:20Speaker 14: around the country together campaigning for George W.
- 1:08:22Speaker 21: Bush.
- 1:08:23Speaker 14: And as you like to say, I'm a liberal, but
- 1:08:25Speaker 14: I'm a liberal with sanity. And I got to believe
- 1:08:27Speaker 14: Sid right now. he is turning over in his grave.
- 1:08:30Speaker 14: And by the way, what an outreach that Mondami wants
- 1:08:33Speaker 14: to take his name off the bridge that's named in
- 1:08:36Speaker 14: his honor, too. I heard some talk that he wants
- 1:08:39Speaker 14: to take Koch's name off the Ed Koch Bridge, which
- 1:08:42Speaker 14: would be just an absolute disaster. I mean, it's just
- 1:08:45Speaker 14: an insult to a great man.
- 1:08:46Speaker 1: And it's not just here, because you look across the world, Europe,
- 1:08:49Speaker 1: and Europe has always been an issue. We know that.
- 1:08:51Speaker 1: Getting back to World War II, which you referenced not
- 1:08:53Speaker 1: that long ago. But anti-Semitism there is out of control.
- 1:08:57Speaker 1: You know, my daughter went to school university in Wales.
- 1:09:00Speaker 1: We spent a lot of time in London. That's a
- 1:09:02Speaker 1: scary place. And that's a gorgeous city. I love London.
- 1:09:05Speaker 1: I can live in London. Not really.
- 1:09:07Speaker 21: It's scary.
- 1:09:08Speaker 1: I went to Paris.
- 1:09:09Speaker 15: You couldn't live there today.
- 1:09:10Speaker 18: It's gone.
- 1:09:11Speaker 23: Right.
- 1:09:11Speaker 1: Paris, too, by the way. Ireland is the worst. Even Italy.
- 1:09:17Speaker 1: All these beautiful countries and cities. We're not welcome there,
- 1:09:20Speaker 1: Matt Brooks. We're not.
- 1:09:22Speaker 15: No, no, we're not.
- 1:09:23Speaker 14: And this is something your listeners have to really understand.
- 1:09:27Speaker 14: This is the crystal ball. This is the canary in
- 1:09:29Speaker 14: the coal mine. If we don't take action now, look
- 1:09:33Speaker 14: at London, look at Paris, look at Europe. Look at
- 1:09:36Speaker 14: what's happening in Spain. That's the future for America. If
- 1:09:40Speaker 14: we allow the Mandamis and the Al-Saeed and the Rashida
- 1:09:44Speaker 14: Tlaibs and all these people to enact the vision of
- 1:09:47Speaker 14: America they want, it's going to be exactly what we're seeing.
- 1:09:49Speaker 14: Open borders, immigration, radical Islamization, Sharia law, all that kind
- 1:09:55Speaker 14: of stuff that they're putting forth in Europe now is
- 1:09:58Speaker 14: coming to America. And that's what's at stake in this
- 1:10:01Speaker 14: election and why it's so very important.
- 1:10:04Speaker 21: And the next election, too. We know what President Trump is.
- 1:10:07Speaker 18: Right.
- 1:10:07Speaker 1: I mean, we know that President Trump has been better
- 1:10:10Speaker 1: to Israel than any other president ever. And I know
- 1:10:13Speaker 1: the last couple of months, he's had his moments. He
- 1:10:15Speaker 1: yells at Bibi. People don't like that. I don't like that.
- 1:10:17Speaker 21: You know, he's had his moments with the Arab nations.
- 1:10:20Speaker 1: You go, wait a second. I thought you were on
- 1:10:21Speaker 1: our team.
- 1:10:21Speaker 21: So I know that every now and then people call.
- 1:10:24Speaker 1: Trump into question. I don't. I know what's in his heart.
- 1:10:26Speaker 1: He loves Israel. He loves the Jewish people. He's the
- 1:10:29Speaker 1: best president we've ever had. But now he's done. Ain't
- 1:10:33Speaker 1: no more Trump in two years. So what's coming up next?
- 1:10:36Speaker 21: Maybe J.D.
- 1:10:36Speaker 1: Vance. A lot of questions about J.D. Guy hangs out
- 1:10:40Speaker 1: with Tucker Carlson. People don't like that. Now, Marco Rubio,
- 1:10:43Speaker 1: Marco Rubio, slam dunk. If you tell every Jew in
- 1:10:47Speaker 1: this country Marco is the next president of the United States,
- 1:10:50Speaker 1: they're thrilled. Even Teddy Politics, Ted Cruz. But if it's
- 1:10:54Speaker 1: not them, the next presidential election is going to have
- 1:10:57Speaker 1: a lot of Jewish people in this country, Matt, on edge.
- 1:11:02Speaker 14: Well, here's what here's what I can tell you about.
- 1:11:04Speaker 14: And our focus right now is on on the midterm elections.
- 1:11:07Speaker 14: Our focus is making sure that El-Said is not a
- 1:11:10Speaker 14: senator from from Michigan.
- 1:11:12Speaker 21: He's not going to win.
- 1:11:13Speaker 1: He's not going to win. Mike Rogers is going to be.
- 1:11:15Speaker 14: I hope you're right. But, you know, we can't take it.
- 1:11:17Speaker 14: We can't take it for granted. We can't phone it in.
- 1:11:19Speaker 14: We've got to we've got to, you know, have. Boots
- 1:11:23Speaker 14: on the ground, and we've got to make sure that
- 1:11:25Speaker 14: we don't win.
- 1:11:26Speaker 15: Because you know what, though, Sid?
- 1:11:28Speaker 14: I remember people telling me that Mondami couldn't win, and
- 1:11:32Speaker 14: he did. And we are at strange times right now,
- 1:11:37Speaker 14: and if you don't take these races seriously— Nobody wants surprises.
- 1:11:44Speaker 14: So my focus is on the midterms. But here's what
- 1:11:48Speaker 14: I will say. Unlike the Democrats in 2028, I don't
- 1:11:51Speaker 14: know who our nominee is going to be. But I
- 1:11:53Speaker 14: will tell you that whoever it is will be pro-Israel
- 1:11:56Speaker 14: and somebody that the Jewish community can support and feel
- 1:11:59Speaker 14: comfortable with and know that they will defend them against
- 1:12:02Speaker 14: the rising of anti-Semitism, the rise against the progressive left
- 1:12:06Speaker 14: and democratic socialists, and they will defend them. and support
- 1:12:10Speaker 14: the unbreakable U.S.-Israel relationship and the strategic alliance between Israel
- 1:12:15Speaker 14: and the United States.
- 1:12:17Speaker 15: I agree.
- 1:12:17Speaker 1: That prediction I can make. No, I agree.
- 1:12:19Speaker 21: And I'm going to vote for that guy, whoever he is.
- 1:12:21Speaker 21: I don't care who it is.
- 1:12:21Speaker 1: I'm going to vote for that Republican candidate over Democrat
- 1:12:24Speaker 1: any day of the week. So give me some of
- 1:12:26Speaker 1: the great names, Matt Brooks. I know that Mike Johnson,
- 1:12:30Speaker 1: Mike Rogers, he just mentioned he's got to beat El Sayed.
- 1:12:33Speaker 1: I think he will. He's going to be there. People
- 1:12:35Speaker 1: like Brandon Gill love him. Dan Patrick. even other stars
- 1:12:39Speaker 1: in this business like Scott Jennings. We've got a big,
- 1:12:42Speaker 1: big crew coming this weekend.
- 1:12:44Speaker 15: We have a big crew.
- 1:12:46Speaker 14: Stay tuned, everybody, for some big announcements that haven't been
- 1:12:48Speaker 14: made yet that I think are going to be very important.
- 1:12:52Speaker 14: We've got our good friend Randy Vine, the Hebrew Hammer,
- 1:12:54Speaker 14: is coming out. We've got an incredible, absolutely amazing, amazing
- 1:13:01Speaker 14: friend in leo terrell who you know is out there
- 1:13:04Speaker 14: fighting the fight against anti-semitism day in and day out
- 1:13:06Speaker 14: at the department of justice he's coming out uh and
- 1:13:09Speaker 14: we've got the incomparable hall of fame broadcaster sid rosenberg
- 1:13:13Speaker 14: so you know what else could you.
- 1:13:16Speaker 1: Hope for that's it you know you know the weather's
- 1:13:18Speaker 1: gonna be nice and it's gonna be fun because it's
- 1:13:21Speaker 1: vegas so in all seriousness the first time i went
- 1:13:23Speaker 1: was last year and i remember flying home with danielle
- 1:13:26Speaker 1: matt and i go man They did a really, really
- 1:13:29Speaker 1: good job. Now, Levin's not coming this year on Mayweather,
- 1:13:31Speaker 1: but they got some other big, big, big, big names.
- 1:13:34Speaker 1: But you guys, last year, I left, I was like, man,
- 1:13:38Speaker 1: Matt and Norm, these guys, they do a really good job.
- 1:13:41Speaker 1: And again, looking at the names of the folks that'll
- 1:13:44Speaker 1: be there this weekend, it looks like it's going to
- 1:13:47Speaker 1: be an unbelievable couple of days.
- 1:13:50Speaker 14: It is, and if any of your listeners want to
- 1:13:52Speaker 14: join us, we'd love to have them. You can go
- 1:13:54Speaker 14: to our website, rjchq.org. Tickets are still available, and we
- 1:14:00Speaker 14: would love to have you come out.
- 1:14:02Speaker 21: You'll get a.
- 1:14:03Speaker 14: Chance to meet Sid and meet a lot of very,
- 1:14:06Speaker 14: very interesting and important and, I think, consequential political leaders
- 1:14:12Speaker 14: who are out there joining us.
- 1:14:13Speaker 21: So in closing, because you referenced this earlier, I think
- 1:14:16Speaker 21: you're right, Matt.
- 1:14:17Speaker 1: Do you think... This is a big statement, if you
- 1:14:20Speaker 1: do say it.
- 1:14:21Speaker 21: Do you think that being where the.
- 1:14:22Speaker 1: Country is with all these DSA hating Jew candidates and
- 1:14:27Speaker 1: the world is, is it fair to say this is
- 1:14:31Speaker 1: the most important RJC convention maybe ever?
- 1:14:38Speaker 14: Oh, I definitely think it is. And, you know, it's fine.
- 1:14:42Speaker 14: I've been doing this job. I've been doing this for
- 1:14:44Speaker 14: almost 40 years. And I lookingly say, especially around election time,
- 1:14:50Speaker 14: that this is the most important election in our lifetime. And,
- 1:14:54Speaker 14: you know, I it's not hyperbole. Every year the stakes
- 1:14:57Speaker 14: get higher and higher. And the threats get bigger and bigger.
- 1:15:00Speaker 14: And the fact that we have to beat back people
- 1:15:03Speaker 14: who are actively campaigning and saying they hate the American flag,
- 1:15:06Speaker 14: who are running for Congress on a platform saying that
- 1:15:09Speaker 14: they hate the American flag and they hate what America
- 1:15:11Speaker 14: stands for. And the Democratic socialists who want to tear
- 1:15:15Speaker 14: apart the fabric that makes America so great. Uh, it's just,
- 1:15:19Speaker 14: it's critically important. So, so RJC Vegas, uh, yeah, this is,
- 1:15:24Speaker 14: this is the most important one we've ever had. And,
- 1:15:27Speaker 14: and the midterm elections are vitally important and everything is
- 1:15:30Speaker 14: leading to, to 2028, where that is all on the
- 1:15:33Speaker 14: agenda for the future of our country.
- 1:15:35Speaker 1: Matt Brooks.
- 1:15:35Speaker 14: Nothing less is at stake.
- 1:15:36Speaker 1: No, you're right. You're an amazing guy, Matt Brooks. I
- 1:15:38Speaker 1: love you. I really do.
- 1:15:39Speaker 21: We are so lucky to have you. Thank you, buddy.
- 1:15:42Speaker 1: I can't wait to see you this weekend.
- 1:15:43Speaker 18: You're amazing.
- 1:15:43Speaker 1: Thank you.
- 1:15:45Speaker 18: See you soon.
- 1:15:46Speaker 1: Matt Brooks right there, him and my cousin Norm do
- 1:15:48Speaker 1: an amazing job running the RJC, and the annual event
- 1:15:52Speaker 1: in Las Vegas comes your way this weekend. We'll take
- 1:15:54Speaker 1: a short break. Still lots more to come, including Enos
- 1:15:59Speaker 1: Cantor Friedman. No, I made him Jewish. I just made
- 1:16:05Speaker 1: him Jewish because of the RJC. Enos Cantor Friedman.
- 1:16:10Speaker 8: Friedman.
- 1:16:11Speaker 1: Yeah, like David Friedman, the former ambassador.
- 1:16:13Speaker 8: I like it.
- 1:16:14Speaker 1: Really, it's Enos Cantor, free dumb, but I made him Jewish.
- 1:16:18Speaker 1: I may introduce him like that, see what he says.
- 1:16:19Speaker 8: When he dunked, he used to yell, oy!
- 1:16:21Speaker 3: Oy!
- 1:16:23Speaker 21: Enos Cantor is coming up, Gordon Chang and more.
- 1:16:26Speaker 2: Sid and Friends in the Morning on the Red Apple
- 1:16:30Speaker 2: Podcast Network.
- 1:16:32Speaker 21: Even though Father Jim is a gutty guy, he is,
- 1:16:35Speaker 21: I love him.
- 1:16:36Speaker 8: Oh, he's great.
- 1:16:37Speaker 1: He's a gutty guy.
- 1:16:38Speaker 23: Yeah.
- 1:16:38Speaker 21: And he's not afraid of it.
- 1:16:40Speaker 1: I don't think the people in and around him want
- 1:16:43Speaker 1: that extra attention.
- 1:16:44Speaker 21: But they should know that the churchgoers.
- 1:16:48Speaker 1: In my neighborhood and Father Jim and everybody there at
- 1:16:50Speaker 1: that beautiful St. Francis Church, that I'm on top of it.
- 1:16:54Speaker 1: And I have spoken loose-sought to some of the biggest
- 1:16:58Speaker 1: law enforcement people in this city. And I'm not going
- 1:17:02Speaker 1: to stand for it. So the Archdiocese may not want
- 1:17:05Speaker 1: Father Jim to come on. That's fine. But I am
- 1:17:07Speaker 1: not going to stand for it. Christians, Jews, you name it,
- 1:17:11Speaker 1: I'm out there fighting. So, Father Jim, I want you
- 1:17:15Speaker 1: to know that I am fighting for you. And Lou
- 1:17:16Speaker 1: knows that, so.
- 1:17:17Speaker 8: Yep, definitely. He knows, too.
- 1:17:19Speaker 1: I know he wanted to come on. He's probably very frustrated.
- 1:17:22Speaker 1: But I understand why his people don't want him to.
- 1:17:25Speaker 1: But this is not going to continue to happen in
- 1:17:27Speaker 1: our churches and our neighborhoods. It's not going to happen.
- 1:17:29Speaker 18: No.
- 1:17:29Speaker 1: It's not. And someone's going to have to ask the
- 1:17:32Speaker 1: difficult questions, which is an easy question. What the hell
- 1:17:35Speaker 1: are you doing here? And why do you have a
- 1:17:36Speaker 1: video camera? Or while you're videotaping this, I should say.
- 1:17:39Speaker 1: So we're going to get to the bottom of all
- 1:17:41Speaker 1: of it and make sure that our neighborhoods remain safe
- 1:17:44Speaker 1: and people can go to that beautiful church in our
- 1:17:46Speaker 1: neighborhood whenever they want. I'm going to take a short break.
- 1:17:49Speaker 1: Still lots more to do. Gordon Chang is going to
- 1:17:51Speaker 1: stop by this race, this AI race.
- 1:17:54Speaker 2: Sid and Friends in the Morning on the Red Apple
- 1:17:58Speaker 2: Podcast Network.
- 1:18:00Speaker 23: And we're going to Vegas tonight.
- 1:18:01Speaker 1: What are you talking about Vegas? Vegas, baby, Vegas.
- 1:18:05Speaker 8: What do you mean Vegas? I'm not going to Vegas.
- 1:18:10Speaker 20: I'm not going to Vegas.
- 1:18:13Speaker 8: When are we going to Vegas?
- 1:18:14Speaker 1: No, we're not going tonight. I'm not going to Vegas.
- 1:18:18Speaker 11: No, you listen to me.
- 1:18:18Speaker 8: I'm not going, okay? None of this s * *
- 1:18:20Speaker 8: * anymore.
- 1:18:21Speaker 20: I'm not going to Vegas.
- 1:18:22Speaker 18: I'm not going to Vegas. All right, listen.
- 1:18:25Speaker 23: Listen.
- 1:18:32Speaker 8: I took out $ 300, but I'm only betting with $ 100.
- 1:18:34Speaker 8: I can't afford any more than that.
- 1:18:36Speaker 18: All right?
- 1:18:37Speaker 8: And I figure if we buy a lot of chips, though,
- 1:18:39Speaker 8: the PIP also see us, so comp us all sorts
- 1:18:41Speaker 8: of free shit. That's how it works over there, all right?
- 1:18:43Speaker 8: But you got to be cool baby.
- 1:18:45Speaker 18: I'm cool, baby. I'm cool.
- 1:18:45Speaker 8: They're going to give Daddy a room, some breakfast, maybe
- 1:18:47Speaker 8: a bit of singing. I know just the place, baby.
- 1:18:50Speaker 18: What the hell are you wearing?
- 1:18:51Speaker 1: I thought you said we're going to wear suits.
- 1:18:53Speaker 8: Oh, Mike, you got to stop worrying about us.
- 1:18:54Speaker 3: Christ.
- 1:18:55Speaker 21: Come on, man.
- 1:18:57Speaker 1: If you're wearing a suit, you look like you gamble
- 1:18:58Speaker 1: a lot. They give you free shit.
- 1:18:59Speaker 8: It's in the back, all right? I'll put it on
- 1:19:01Speaker 8: when we get there.
- 1:19:02Speaker 23: Uh-uh.
- 1:19:02Speaker 1: No way.
- 1:19:02Speaker 23: No, turn around.
- 1:19:03Speaker 1: I'm going home.
- 1:19:04Speaker 18: I'm going.
- 1:19:04Speaker 1: You got to show up wearing that suit.
- 1:19:06Speaker 8: All right already, okay?
- 1:19:07Speaker 1: I'll put my suit on.
- 1:19:08Speaker 18: Grab the wheel. Hold it steady.
- 1:19:10Speaker 1: I'm telling you, this is how you do it.
- 1:19:12Speaker 3: I know.
- 1:19:12Speaker 1: I'm watching you when you.
- 1:19:13Speaker 21: Drive up high.
- 1:19:14Speaker 8: That's how it works.
- 1:19:16Speaker 3: It can work.
- 1:19:16Speaker 1: I'm serious.
- 1:19:17Speaker 8: We're going to give Daddy the Rain Man suite. Do
- 1:19:19Speaker 8: you dig that?
- 1:19:20Speaker 1: We're going to Vegas, Mike.
- 1:19:21Speaker 23: Vegas!
- 1:19:22Speaker 1: Do you think we get there by midnight?
- 1:19:23Speaker 8: Money, we're going to be up $ 500 by midnight.
- 1:19:26Speaker 23: Vegas!
- 1:19:27Speaker 1: Vegas, baby. Vegas! So we got the convention starts Sunday.
- 1:19:31Speaker 1: I'm going to speak on Monday. We're going to see
- 1:19:34Speaker 1: Billy Idol on Saturday night. And we're going to Vegas, baby. Mikey,
- 1:19:39Speaker 1: wear something nice. We're going to Vegas. I am bringing
- 1:19:42Speaker 1: a couple of nice suits. Of course, I bought them
- 1:19:44Speaker 1: at the garage. My guy, Anthony. I'm wearing the same
- 1:19:47Speaker 1: green suit that I wore when I spoke for JNS.org
- 1:19:52Speaker 1: in Jerusalem back in June. I look beautiful, I have
- 1:19:54Speaker 1: to say.
- 1:19:55Speaker 18: Beautiful.
- 1:19:56Speaker 1: And the same white suit that I wore last time
- 1:19:59Speaker 1: I was on Fox News before they banned me. So,
- 1:20:02Speaker 1: I got two gorgeous suits today. IDF green and a
- 1:20:06Speaker 1: cream white, like a linen. Oh, my God. Am I
- 1:20:10Speaker 1: going to look good?
- 1:20:11Speaker 8: You're going to be so money.
- 1:20:12Speaker 21: Oh, so money, Mikey. So money, baby.
- 1:20:15Speaker 1: You're like a big bear, man, with these big claws.
- 1:20:18Speaker 8: You're trying to kill the bunny. You're saying, I don't
- 1:20:21Speaker 8: know how to kill the bunny with these big claws.
- 1:20:24Speaker 1: Look at this buddy. He's just so money, man. So money.
- 1:20:27Speaker 1: So money. Talking about money, we got two money guests
- 1:20:30Speaker 1: coming up in a row. Gordon Chang. China all over
- 1:20:34Speaker 1: the place today. A lot going on. Specifically, AI. And then,
- 1:20:38Speaker 1: all over the news, Enos Cantor Freedom. Will he be
- 1:20:42Speaker 1: the first man ever to play in the WNBA? Two
- 1:20:47Speaker 1: money guests coming up. Sid and Friends in the.
- 1:20:51Speaker 2: Morning on the Red Apple Podcast Network.
- 1:20:55Speaker 1: The rumors are is that Scott Jennings will be with
- 1:20:58Speaker 1: me in Las Vegas. Maybe the guy to replace her.
- 1:21:01Speaker 1: He's going to be on this show tomorrow. How about that?
- 1:21:05Speaker 1: Scott Jennings on this show tomorrow, CNN star. He could
- 1:21:09Speaker 1: be the next White House press secretary. You know the
- 1:21:12Speaker 1: person who's perfect for that job? Lou and Justin. You
- 1:21:17Speaker 1: know the person who's perfect for that job?
- 1:21:18Speaker 8: Yeah, let Justin say it.
- 1:21:21Speaker 1: Want to take a guess? Yeah, let me take a
- 1:21:23Speaker 1: wild and crazy guess.
- 1:21:25Speaker 24: Let me take a wild and crazy guess here.
- 1:21:27Speaker 1: Yeah, let me hear, let me hear, let me hear.
- 1:21:29Speaker 24: Naomi Rosenberg?
- 1:21:30Speaker 1: That's right. Naomi Rosenberg. My mom, Naomi. 92, coming on 92,
- 1:21:36Speaker 1: she's ready to go. Not me. I'd be perfect at
- 1:21:38Speaker 1: that job, but of course it's... Oh, sorry, I must
- 1:21:40Speaker 1: have slipped my mind, sorry. Yeah, I know. It's hard
- 1:21:43Speaker 1: to forget me. I'm sitting right in front of you.
- 1:21:47Speaker 1: And you got too much locks on this bagel. The
- 1:21:50Speaker 1: smell of it's making me nauseous. And I thought, man,
- 1:21:52Speaker 1: the microphone's going to stink all day. Why do you
- 1:21:54Speaker 1: keep screwing up? Greg Kelly. I told you yesterday I
- 1:21:57Speaker 1: wanted locks spread.
- 1:21:58Speaker 21: Not these big, fat, nasty pieces of locks.
- 1:22:01Speaker 24: First of all, you got to be a good Jew
- 1:22:03Speaker 24: and start to, you know, start to like that.
- 1:22:06Speaker 1: I eat it every now and then, but it becomes
- 1:22:08Speaker 1: too much. And then I don't like fish when it's
- 1:22:10Speaker 1: too fishy. You know what I'm saying? You got to
- 1:22:11Speaker 1: take some of it off.
- 1:22:12Speaker 24: I do the same thing.
- 1:22:13Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what I'm doing. And now my fingers stink.
- 1:22:16Speaker 18: So.
- 1:22:17Speaker 8: Well, it would shorten the press conferences, that's for sure.
- 1:22:21Speaker 1: This will be my first order of business. I'm the
- 1:22:24Speaker 1: new White House press secretary.
- 1:22:25Speaker 8: Hold on, everybody.
- 1:22:27Speaker 24: Here's my assistant with my breakfast.
- 1:22:29Speaker 1: Right, exactly. But there is serious stuff going on outside
- 1:22:33Speaker 1: of Caroline Leavitt leaving tomorrow. That is China. China is
- 1:22:36Speaker 1: all over the news. And when that happens, what do
- 1:22:38Speaker 1: you speak to? The best in the business. Follow him
- 1:22:40Speaker 1: on Twitter at GordonGChang. one of the all-time greats, my
- 1:22:44Speaker 1: friend Gordon Chang. Gordon, good morning, buddy.
- 1:22:46Speaker 21: How are you?
- 1:22:48Speaker 15: I'm fine, Sid, and thank you so much.
- 1:22:50Speaker 1: Oh, it's great to have you. So this story where
- 1:22:53Speaker 1: the Justice Department and the FBI are now seizing platforms
- 1:22:57Speaker 1: operated and used by China state-sponsored hackers is scary.
- 1:23:05Speaker 21: Some of the U.S.
- 1:23:06Speaker 1: Critical infrastructure they're talking about targeting include the Federal Reserve
- 1:23:11Speaker 1: and Department of Energy, Department of Justice.
- 1:23:14Speaker 21: Health and Human Services, National Institutes of Health, the U.S. Senate.
- 1:23:19Speaker 1: Now, you and I have talked about this for years,
- 1:23:21Speaker 1: Gordon Chang, for years. Water systems, electrical grids, and hacking
- 1:23:27Speaker 1: happens all the time.
- 1:23:29Speaker 21: Every now and then, some airline, they go bonkers, right?
- 1:23:32Speaker 1: Something happens. They're actually out there targeting vital U.S. infrastructure.
- 1:23:38Speaker 21: We found out, but they're denying it.
- 1:23:40Speaker 1: So now what?
- 1:23:42Speaker 15: Well, the now what is what do we do about it?
- 1:23:45Speaker 15: Because we've known for decades that the Chinese have been
- 1:23:48Speaker 15: doing this. And by the way, Sid, we have the
- 1:23:51Speaker 15: means to stop them. And as a society, we have
- 1:23:54Speaker 15: decided not to employ those means. So really, it's up
- 1:23:57Speaker 15: to us. We need a national conversation on what's more
- 1:24:01Speaker 15: important for us, you know, friendly relations with Beijing or
- 1:24:05Speaker 15: protection of our critical infrastructure, you know. To me, there's
- 1:24:09Speaker 15: no choice. Let's protect ourselves.
- 1:24:11Speaker 18: Yeah.
- 1:24:12Speaker 1: Well, how do we do it, though? If you were
- 1:24:13Speaker 1: on the phone with President Trump right after me, what
- 1:24:15Speaker 1: would you advise the president to do?
- 1:24:18Speaker 15: Well, first of all, we need to bolster our, you know,
- 1:24:22Speaker 15: our cyber defenses because, you know, they're not as good
- 1:24:25Speaker 15: as they need to be. And certainly they're not as
- 1:24:27Speaker 15: good as we can make them. But that's, you know,
- 1:24:30Speaker 15: attackers always win over defenders. So ultimately, it's a question
- 1:24:34Speaker 15: of the cost that we impose on China. And I'd
- 1:24:37Speaker 15: say to President Trump, look, the Chinese have never been
- 1:24:40Speaker 15: more trade dependent this century and maybe in their history.
- 1:24:44Speaker 15: So if we're going to protect our networks, we know
- 1:24:47Speaker 15: how to do it. 100 percent, 200 percent tariffs. And
- 1:24:51Speaker 15: I bet you within about two or three hours, you'd
- 1:24:55Speaker 15: have Xi Jinping on the phone saying, let's talk. So, yeah,
- 1:24:59Speaker 15: let's impose those costs. You know, we know Xi Jinping
- 1:25:03Speaker 15: does not respect the United States. That was clear in
- 1:25:06Speaker 15: May when President Trump went to Beijing because we saw
- 1:25:10Speaker 15: Xi Jinping go out of his way to humiliate Trump. Now,
- 1:25:13Speaker 15: Trump let it roll off his back. That's fine. But
- 1:25:16Speaker 15: we need to show the Chinese that they've got to
- 1:25:18Speaker 15: start respecting the United States of America.
- 1:25:21Speaker 1: Well, you got to tell people that may not be
- 1:25:23Speaker 1: aware of what you're talking about. How exactly did China
- 1:25:27Speaker 1: humiliate my guy?
- 1:25:29Speaker 15: Two things. First of all, on Thursday, the first day
- 1:25:32Speaker 15: of the summit, you had Xi Jinping talk about the
- 1:25:36Speaker 15: Thucydides trap, which is a reference to a declining hegemon
- 1:25:40Speaker 15: dangerously challenging a rising power. And in Xi Jinping's view,
- 1:25:44Speaker 15: we're the declining hegemon. He also, and this was even
- 1:25:48Speaker 15: more insulting, used the words new era. Now, in Xi
- 1:25:53Speaker 15: Jinping's speak, new era refers to a time when the
- 1:25:55Speaker 15: United States is no longer on the scene and China
- 1:25:58Speaker 15: rules the world. On Friday at Zhongnanhai, which is the
- 1:26:04Speaker 15: Chinese leadership compound, you saw Trump and Xi Jinping sitting
- 1:26:08Speaker 15: in chairs side by side.
- 1:26:09Speaker 18: Yeah.
- 1:26:10Speaker 15: Well, Trump's chair was noticeably lower than Xi Jinping's.
- 1:26:14Speaker 21: I did notice that.
- 1:26:15Speaker 20: Yeah.
- 1:26:16Speaker 15: That was made to make Trump feel uncomfortable and look
- 1:26:20Speaker 15: diminished in the eyes of the Chinese. So those three
- 1:26:24Speaker 15: things showed that Xi Jinping was out to humiliate.
- 1:26:29Speaker 1: Okay, but here's my question, because you're brilliant, okay, and
- 1:26:33Speaker 1: you saw that, you figured that out. Did President Trump
- 1:26:37Speaker 1: figure that out, too?
- 1:26:39Speaker 15: Well, he figured out the Thucydides trap because he actually
- 1:26:42Speaker 15: issued a statement a few hours later about that. But
- 1:26:46Speaker 15: it was a very mild statement. And, you know, we
- 1:26:51Speaker 15: haven't heard Trump talk about the chair business yet. But
- 1:26:54Speaker 15: I'm sure that he knew because he was obviously uncomfortable.
- 1:26:58Speaker 21: I saw it.
- 1:26:58Speaker 1: It looks silly. You know, he comes back after China,
- 1:27:01Speaker 1: President Trump, and he puts he talks to the American
- 1:27:05Speaker 1: people primetime.
- 1:27:06Speaker 18: Right.
- 1:27:07Speaker 1: And he talks about how China is gathering all this data.
- 1:27:11Speaker 1: and how they played a part in what was, what
- 1:27:14Speaker 1: he thought, a rigged 2020 election, people said to me,
- 1:27:18Speaker 1: why didn't Trump say something to Ping when he was
- 1:27:21Speaker 1: in China? Why did he wait to come back and
- 1:27:23Speaker 1: do a press conference for the American people? I said,
- 1:27:26Speaker 1: I don't know, maybe he did. They didn't show every
- 1:27:29Speaker 1: single second those two were together, but Trump certainly talked
- 1:27:33Speaker 1: tough about China when he came home.
- 1:27:36Speaker 21: Do you think he did any of that when he
- 1:27:38Speaker 21: was there?
- 1:27:39Speaker 15: I'm sure that President Trump did. And I'm sure that
- 1:27:43Speaker 15: Xi Jinping stiffed him, which is the reason why when
- 1:27:46Speaker 15: Trump came back, he gave that primetime address to the
- 1:27:49Speaker 15: American people about China's election interference. And by the way,
- 1:27:53Speaker 15: Trump didn't mention everything. Matter of fact, he left out
- 1:27:57Speaker 15: the most bad bits that the Chinese did. So, you know, again,
- 1:28:01Speaker 15: a lot of restraints. But we should have talked about
- 1:28:04Speaker 15: the things that China did in 2020, including fomenting violence
- 1:28:08Speaker 15: on American streets just before the election. And when a
- 1:28:11Speaker 15: foreign power urges Americans to commit acts of violence on
- 1:28:16Speaker 15: our soil, that's an act of war. And, you know,
- 1:28:19Speaker 15: Trump didn't mention it, but he should have.
- 1:28:21Speaker 1: Well, can you be more specific about that? Give me
- 1:28:23Speaker 1: one of those events you're talking about.
- 1:28:26Speaker 18: Yeah.
- 1:28:27Speaker 15: First of all, openly, October of 2020, The European bureau
- 1:28:33Speaker 15: chief for China Daily on X urged Americans to throw
- 1:28:36Speaker 15: petrol bombs. This is a representative. of the Chinese government,
- 1:28:42Speaker 15: and it's an official statement. And God, you know, glad
- 1:28:47Speaker 15: I caught myself, because I'm really angry about this.
- 1:28:50Speaker 1: I know, I can hear. I love it, actually.
- 1:28:54Speaker 15: But that's also... You know, the night that St. John's
- 1:28:57Speaker 15: Church was burned, that's one block north of the White House.
- 1:29:01Speaker 15: There were Chinese dressed in black, acting in coordinated fashion.
- 1:29:06Speaker 18: The U.S.
- 1:29:07Speaker 15: Government believes that they were not organic, that this was
- 1:29:11Speaker 15: organized by the Chinese state. We don't have I don't
- 1:29:15Speaker 15: have proof of it. I'm sure the State Department does.
- 1:29:18Speaker 15: But this is something, again, interesting. And we saw in
- 1:29:23Speaker 15: 2020 some really very dangerous acts. So, for instance, at
- 1:29:27Speaker 15: the International Falls Port of Entry, this is Minnesota, just
- 1:29:31Speaker 15: before the George Floyd protests, we intercepted counterfeit $ 1 bills
- 1:29:37Speaker 15: that came in from China. First of all, nobody in
- 1:29:40Speaker 15: China can counterfeit American currency without the regime knowing about it.
- 1:29:44Speaker 15: Second of all, nobody counterfeits $ 1 bills for profit. This
- 1:29:48Speaker 15: was obviously a Chinese state operation. I don't know exactly
- 1:29:53Speaker 15: what they were doing. I think they were funding protests,
- 1:29:56Speaker 15: protesters in a way that would be hard to detect.
- 1:29:59Speaker 15: That motive, I don't know. But I do know that
- 1:30:02Speaker 15: it was found. I do know that this was a
- 1:30:04Speaker 15: Chinese state project counterfeiting another country's currency, by the way, Sid.
- 1:30:10Speaker 15: That's an act of war as well.
- 1:30:12Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, 100%, 100%. So, Gordon Chang, tell me this.
- 1:30:16Speaker 1: Where does China get their oil from these days?
- 1:30:21Speaker 15: Well, they're getting it from Iran.
- 1:30:23Speaker 1: Okay, let me stop you right now. Let me stop
- 1:30:24Speaker 1: you right now. So when China comes out and is
- 1:30:28Speaker 1: furious with the United States, furious, this is in the
- 1:30:32Speaker 1: papers today, that we are widening our sanctions on Iran,
- 1:30:38Speaker 1: it all makes sense because they count on Iran for
- 1:30:42Speaker 1: oil and other things. That's why they're furious. They are
- 1:30:45Speaker 1: in bed with the enemy. They are the enemy. But
- 1:30:48Speaker 1: they're in bed with the enemy.
- 1:30:50Speaker 15: Yeah, they're in bed with the enemy. Now, Kepler reports
- 1:30:54Speaker 15: that this year China has received each day 1.2 million
- 1:30:58Speaker 15: barrels of Iranian oil. That's only slightly less what they
- 1:31:01Speaker 15: got last year. So they're still relying on Iranian oil. Now,
- 1:31:07Speaker 15: we can stop this and we should, because why are
- 1:31:10Speaker 15: we allowing China to finance the war against us? But
- 1:31:14Speaker 15: we also know more important that China allowed Iran to
- 1:31:18Speaker 15: use their satellites for targeting purposes.
- 1:31:21Speaker 18: Right.
- 1:31:21Speaker 15: That almost certainly resulted in the deaths of six American
- 1:31:24Speaker 15: service members on March 1st in Kuwait. And also, I think,
- 1:31:30Speaker 15: but I'm not as certain that China allowed the targeting
- 1:31:34Speaker 15: data in the rest of the war, which also resulted
- 1:31:37Speaker 15: in American deaths. But certainly on March 1, this was
- 1:31:41Speaker 15: this was China.
- 1:31:42Speaker 1: There is rumors, too, that the Chinese have been providing
- 1:31:45Speaker 1: Iran with weapons all along, maybe the Caspian Sea. I
- 1:31:48Speaker 1: don't know the exact route, but do you believe that's true?
- 1:31:52Speaker 15: Yeah, I do believe it's true because we saw Chinese
- 1:31:57Speaker 15: military transports landing in Iran during the course of the war.
- 1:32:02Speaker 15: We know that Iran has Chinese weapons. That's 100%. We
- 1:32:06Speaker 15: just don't know when they were delivered. So in March,
- 1:32:09Speaker 15: for instance, Iran fired 101, according to President Trump, 101
- 1:32:16Speaker 15: anti-ship cruise missiles at the Abraham Lincoln Carrier Strike Group.
- 1:32:20Speaker 15: Those were Chinese CM-302s. Now, they could have been delivered.
- 1:32:25Speaker 18: Before the war.
- 1:32:26Speaker 15: But we also know that every Iranian weapon with a
- 1:32:29Speaker 15: microchip has a microchip that was either made in China
- 1:32:33Speaker 15: or was sourced for Iran by Chinese intermediaries. So, you know,
- 1:32:40Speaker 15: this is something that's continued throughout the war, and we
- 1:32:44Speaker 15: need to stop it.
- 1:32:45Speaker 18: Yeah.
- 1:32:46Speaker 1: Look, there's a reason why I bring you on all
- 1:32:48Speaker 1: the time, me and Maria Bartiromo. We love you, the
- 1:32:50Speaker 1: two of us, because while the world is concentrating on Iran,
- 1:32:54Speaker 1: and I get it. And the world now lately has
- 1:32:56Speaker 1: been concentrating on Canada, especially the United States. I get it. Me, Maria, you,
- 1:33:02Speaker 1: we haven't lost sight of the fact that the biggest enemy,
- 1:33:05Speaker 1: the most dangerous enemy, and the country that can hurt
- 1:33:08Speaker 1: us the most.
- 1:33:09Speaker 21: It ain't Canada, it ain't Iran, it's China.
- 1:33:13Speaker 1: That's why, Gordon Chang, you remain such an important guest
- 1:33:17Speaker 1: because we haven't lost sight of that. Sometimes I don't
- 1:33:21Speaker 1: think we talk enough about it.
- 1:33:23Speaker 15: Yeah. Look, Russia is able to continue the war against
- 1:33:27Speaker 15: Ukraine because of China. Russia would have been out of
- 1:33:29Speaker 15: the war long ago were it not for comprehensive Chinese support, which,
- 1:33:34Speaker 15: by the way, includes combat personnel. Iran couldn't challenge Israel.
- 1:33:40Speaker 15: It could not have launched the October 7th attacks. It
- 1:33:43Speaker 15: could not maintain the war against us but for China.
- 1:33:46Speaker 15: China in North Africa is fueling insurgencies that look like wars.
- 1:33:51Speaker 15: And we've been on the wrong end of some of
- 1:33:53Speaker 15: those actions. So look, China is roiling the world. It's
- 1:33:58Speaker 15: right now a very dangerous place. You take the Chinese
- 1:34:02Speaker 15: out and these bad actors couldn't challenge the United States,
- 1:34:05Speaker 15: our friends, partners, and everybody else for that matter.
- 1:34:08Speaker 1: I agree. So in the AI war, in the AI race,
- 1:34:13Speaker 1: we're always trying to keep up with China. They're trying
- 1:34:16Speaker 1: to keep up with us. Right now, Gordon Chang, who
- 1:34:19Speaker 1: is winning the AI race, United States or China?
- 1:34:25Speaker 15: Our best AI, our frontier models are a couple months
- 1:34:29Speaker 15: ahead of China's best models. But that overstates China's position
- 1:34:35Speaker 15: in the AI race because we've got two critical advantages.
- 1:34:38Speaker 15: One of them is compute. In June, there were 5,427
- 1:34:41Speaker 15: American data centers. In June, China, how many data centers?
- 1:34:44Speaker 15: 499 data centers. The other thing is our capital markets
- 1:34:53Speaker 15: are far deeper. So our AI companies have much more
- 1:34:56Speaker 15: access to.
- 1:34:59Speaker 18: Money.
- 1:35:00Speaker 15: The thing where China is doing very well is it
- 1:35:03Speaker 15: has got basically open weight models that are very inexpensive.
- 1:35:09Speaker 15: So they are gaining adoption in places that is important,
- 1:35:13Speaker 15: like Africa. the Chinese have not been really able to
- 1:35:17Speaker 15: monetize their AI because they want to spread it. This
- 1:35:21Speaker 15: is a government project, basically. So China's private AI companies,
- 1:35:25Speaker 15: they're very, very, very good, but they're not really making money.
- 1:35:30Speaker 15: Who's making money is Anthropic and OpenAI and the rest
- 1:35:34Speaker 15: of them, but they're not gaining as much adoption because
- 1:35:36Speaker 15: they charge a lot of money. And this is going
- 1:35:38Speaker 15: to be a national conversation for the United States, but
- 1:35:42Speaker 15: we're winning. As I said, When you look at their
- 1:35:45Speaker 15: best models, their best models are almost as good as ours.
- 1:35:49Speaker 1: Almost, but not as good. So then when you talk
- 1:35:51Speaker 1: about these data centers, how idiotic is the New York governor,
- 1:35:55Speaker 1: Kathy Hochul, who put a moratorium on building data centers
- 1:36:00Speaker 1: for a year in the state of New York? How
- 1:36:02Speaker 1: idiotic is that?
- 1:36:03Speaker 15: That's really idiotic. What she's doing is she's responding to pressure. Now,
- 1:36:11Speaker 15: that pressure is not entirely organic because we know that
- 1:36:14Speaker 15: China has been funding a lot of the anti-data center protests.
- 1:36:20Speaker 15: That guy, Neville Roy Singham, he's an American, but he
- 1:36:24Speaker 15: coordinates his activities with the Communist Party's United Front Work Department.
- 1:36:28Speaker 15: He lives in Shanghai. He funds organizations such as Code Pink,
- 1:36:32Speaker 15: Code Pink protests against data centers. Code Pink, by the way,
- 1:36:36Speaker 15: was co-founded by Jody Evans, who's Neville Roy Singham's wife.
- 1:36:40Speaker 15: So we know that China is funding a lot of
- 1:36:42Speaker 15: this protest. And by the way, there's a senator from Vermont.
- 1:36:46Speaker 15: I think his name is Bernie Sanders.
- 1:36:48Speaker 1: I've heard of him.
- 1:36:48Speaker 15: You may have heard of him. Yeah, he has been
- 1:36:51Speaker 15: working with China to stop all U.S. AI development and
- 1:36:56Speaker 15: data centers. He's got a bill in Congress with Senator
- 1:37:00Speaker 15: Markey of Massachusetts. This is, you know, this is China
- 1:37:05Speaker 15: because Sanders and Markey, they held that bill. That session
- 1:37:11Speaker 15: on Capitol Hill on, I think it was April 30th,
- 1:37:14Speaker 15: urging the United States not to do anything on AI
- 1:37:17Speaker 15: for a year, actually for longer than that, until we
- 1:37:20Speaker 15: figure out what to do, which is like the Chinese,
- 1:37:23Speaker 15: are they going to stop for a year?
- 1:37:24Speaker 23: Please.
- 1:37:25Speaker 15: Of course not.
- 1:37:25Speaker 1: No way.
- 1:37:26Speaker 18: No way.
- 1:37:28Speaker 1: Gordon G. Chang, you can hear all this, read all this,
- 1:37:31Speaker 1: I should say, brilliant stuff on his amazing Twitter feed. Gordon,
- 1:37:34Speaker 1: you're so good, man. I love it. I think you're great.
- 1:37:37Speaker 21: Give my regards to Lydia. We'll do this again very,
- 1:37:39Speaker 21: very soon, buddy. Thank you so much.
- 1:37:41Speaker 15: Oh, well, thank you, Sid. I really appreciate it.
- 1:37:43Speaker 18: Thank you, Justin.
- 1:37:45Speaker 1: Oh, Justin gets a thank you, too. Oh, thank you, Gordon. Oh,
- 1:37:47Speaker 1: you just made his whole day, Gordon. Oh, look at Justin.
- 1:37:51Speaker 1: How about it? How about the great Gordon Chang? My man, Gordon.
- 1:37:54Speaker 1: Thank you, Gordon.
- 1:37:54Speaker 21: We'll take a break.
- 1:37:55Speaker 1: Gordon, you'll love this next guest. He's very famous these days.
- 1:37:59Speaker 1: He was a pretty good NBA player. Played here with
- 1:38:01Speaker 1: the Knicks. Now he wants to play basketball again. Except...
- 1:38:06Speaker 1: He doesn't have a vagina.
- 1:38:08Speaker 2: Sid and Friends in the Morning on the Red Apple
- 1:38:11Speaker 2: Podcast Network.
- 1:38:13Speaker 1: He wants to play in the WNBA because until they
- 1:38:16Speaker 1: come out and give us the biological definition of a woman,
- 1:38:20Speaker 1: they've made it sound like he can play. But here's
- 1:38:23Speaker 1: what's interesting. We just had Gordon Shang on talking about China.
- 1:38:27Speaker 1: All the issues with China, right?
- 1:38:29Speaker 20: Iran, Iran.
- 1:38:30Speaker 1: China Russia China we're talking about Iran and Canada here
- 1:38:35Speaker 1: but the truth is the Chinese remain our biggest problem
- 1:38:39Speaker 1: and you could make the argument and Enos can confirm
- 1:38:41Speaker 1: or deny now but the reason why Cantor only played
- 1:38:44Speaker 1: 11 seasons in the NBA and not more was because
- 1:38:48Speaker 1: if I remember correctly he of China. Let's find out.
- 1:38:52Speaker 1: Enos Cantor Freedom. My man, how are you this morning?
- 1:38:55Speaker 1: Welcome to the show.
- 1:38:56Speaker 18: Hey, what's up, brother?
- 1:38:57Speaker 21: Good to have you.
- 1:38:58Speaker 1: So, am I right? Weren't you, like, pretty vocal about
- 1:39:01Speaker 1: the whole with Maury and China and all that stuff? Yes?
- 1:39:04Speaker 18: I mean, that's the reason that I'm not playing basketball
- 1:39:06Speaker 18: in NBA right now. The more people watch NBA games
- 1:39:10Speaker 18: in China than American population last year, it's around $ 6
- 1:39:14Speaker 18: billion annually, the relationship between NBA and China. So I
- 1:39:20Speaker 18: started to talk about China's human rights violations, especially towards Uyghurs.
- 1:39:23Speaker 18: And they literally kicked me out that I was actually
- 1:39:27Speaker 18: 29 years old. I was in my prime. um but
- 1:39:29Speaker 18: i mean it is what it is when it shows
- 1:39:31Speaker 18: the hypocrisy of the nba.
- 1:39:33Speaker 1: Oh the nba's uh tons of hypocrisy one more thing
- 1:39:36Speaker 1: about the nba because i think this is pretty widely
- 1:39:38Speaker 1: known i kind of like it there's a uh new
- 1:39:40Speaker 1: philadelphia 76er everybody knows how much you love this guy
- 1:39:44Speaker 1: lebron james yeah no why do you dislike lebron so
- 1:39:51Speaker 1: much though honestly what happened.
- 1:39:52Speaker 18: With that So here's the thing, man. I mean, obviously,
- 1:39:55Speaker 18: on the court, he's one of the best basketball players
- 1:39:58Speaker 18: that ever touched the ball. I respect him a lot
- 1:40:00Speaker 18: on the court. But off the court, he calls himself
- 1:40:03Speaker 18: a human rights activist, a freedom fighter, and more than
- 1:40:07Speaker 18: an athlete. I remember it was back in 2019 when
- 1:40:11Speaker 18: Daryl Morey tweeted and said, stand with Hong Kong, right?
- 1:40:14Speaker 18: Right after that, a reporter came to him and said, hey, LeBron,
- 1:40:18Speaker 18: we know that you care about humanity a lot. What
- 1:40:21Speaker 18: do you think about, you know, Daryl Morris tweets that
- 1:40:24Speaker 18: he says stab at Hong Kong? It was it was interesting.
- 1:40:27Speaker 18: He just said, oh, he's not educated about the situation.
- 1:40:30Speaker 18: He shouldn't be. He's hurting the league and blah, blah. Right.
- 1:40:33Speaker 18: And I'm like, I cannot believe it. He's obviously making
- 1:40:36Speaker 18: so much money from Nike. He signed like a one
- 1:40:39Speaker 18: billion dollar contract, lifetime contract with them. So he's not
- 1:40:43Speaker 18: going to say anything about it. So that's why he
- 1:40:45Speaker 18: lost my respect.
- 1:40:45Speaker 1: Okay, I can't argue that. I don't like him either,
- 1:40:47Speaker 1: just so you know. And I like you, Enos Cantor Freedom.
- 1:40:50Speaker 1: And look, you are an activist, and you're a very,
- 1:40:53Speaker 1: very smart guy. We'll get to the WNBA in a second,
- 1:40:55Speaker 1: but there are rumors, Mr. Freedom, that you are considering...
- 1:41:00Speaker 1: running for Congress in 2028? I'd vote for you. Is
- 1:41:04Speaker 1: there any truth to that?
- 1:41:07Speaker 18: So I think, you know, being an activist is good
- 1:41:09Speaker 18: and everything, right? But I think if you want to
- 1:41:11Speaker 18: take some real action, you have to be in office.
- 1:41:14Speaker 18: I don't know if I would do it in 28
- 1:41:16Speaker 18: or 30, because right now our country is very divided, unfortunately.
- 1:41:20Speaker 18: And I think my job as an activist is uh
- 1:41:23Speaker 18: to bring our country together because the the things that
- 1:41:26Speaker 18: i talk about it's not a right or left issue
- 1:41:28Speaker 18: it's it's a common sense it's a common sense you
- 1:41:30Speaker 18: know so i think i i would i really care
- 1:41:34Speaker 18: about obviously foreign policy my fight against the turkish government
- 1:41:37Speaker 18: and every other dictatorship out there everybody knows it but
- 1:41:41Speaker 18: i mean if it's an opportunity i might consider it
- 1:41:43Speaker 18: but i think right now my work is way bigger
- 1:41:45Speaker 18: and more important than everything i'm.
- 1:41:47Speaker 1: Doing That's fair. But I will tell you this. I
- 1:41:50Speaker 1: think you'd be really good in that position. Yes, I really,
- 1:41:52Speaker 1: really do. But you talk about foreign policy. OK, so
- 1:41:55Speaker 1: I had two conversations last night. One person said to me,
- 1:41:58Speaker 1: you know, Enos is great when it comes to Israel.
- 1:42:00Speaker 1: Just so you know, I'm big Israel. I've been there
- 1:42:02Speaker 1: six times since October 7th. I'm going back this October 7th.
- 1:42:06Speaker 1: I'm good friends with Bibi Netanyahu.
- 1:42:08Speaker 21: The whole thing.
- 1:42:08Speaker 1: So you know all this, okay? So this person goes,
- 1:42:11Speaker 1: Enos is great when it comes to Israel, which I knew.
- 1:42:14Speaker 1: And then I get a call not long after. They go, no, no, no, no, no.
- 1:42:17Speaker 1: The truth is, is that he wants to raise money
- 1:42:19Speaker 1: for Gaza. He, you know, he's sympathetic to the Palestinians.
- 1:42:24Speaker 1: He's not that pro-Israel. So I'm putting you on the
- 1:42:27Speaker 1: spot right here, Enos, but it's big. It's important.
- 1:42:29Speaker 18: Please do.
- 1:42:30Speaker 1: Are you pro-Israel or not?
- 1:42:32Speaker 18: So here's my answer to you. I'm pro-humanity. So obviously,
- 1:42:37Speaker 18: as a Muslim, of course, I care about my Palestinian
- 1:42:39Speaker 18: brothers and sisters. But at the same time, of course,
- 1:42:42Speaker 18: I care about my Jewish brothers and sisters. I mean,
- 1:42:47Speaker 18: after that attack, October 7, I was actually the first
- 1:42:50Speaker 18: athlete that came out and condemned and called Hamas a
- 1:42:53Speaker 18: terrorist organization. And I'm still standing for it. Which I
- 1:42:56Speaker 18: think what happened that day is just disgusting. I mean,
- 1:42:59Speaker 18: for me, I don't support any governments. To me, the
- 1:43:02Speaker 18: most important thing is supporting humanity. And also, like, you know,
- 1:43:06Speaker 18: I do a lot of basketball camps around the world, right?
- 1:43:09Speaker 18: And I went to Jerusalem. I organized this basketball camp.
- 1:43:12Speaker 18: between Palestinians and Israelis. Let me tell you something, man.
- 1:43:15Speaker 18: The first, probably like the first two days, they were
- 1:43:19Speaker 18: not even talking to each other, right? And then I
- 1:43:22Speaker 18: started to put them in the same team. There was
- 1:43:24Speaker 18: one position. I want to tell you this story because
- 1:43:26Speaker 18: I actually like love this story. I put them in
- 1:43:29Speaker 18: the same team. I got a rebound. I give ball
- 1:43:31Speaker 18: to this Israeli kid. He cross someone over and he
- 1:43:34Speaker 18: passed the ball to this Palestinian girl and she scored
- 1:43:36Speaker 18: a ball. When she was coming back, they high-fived each other.
- 1:43:39Speaker 18: I was like, this is the most amazing thing I've
- 1:43:41Speaker 18: ever seen. Listen, man, I think the thing is, you know,
- 1:43:45Speaker 18: people behind the table are the ones that are giving
- 1:43:47Speaker 18: the orders, and innocent people on the streets are dying.
- 1:43:50Speaker 18: So for me, I support the humanity. I support the
- 1:43:53Speaker 18: innocent people on both sides.
- 1:43:55Speaker 1: Okay, but are you calling Israel genocidal? That's a big word.
- 1:44:00Speaker 18: Am I what?
- 1:44:01Speaker 1: Are you calling Israel genocidal?
- 1:44:04Speaker 18: I mean, I think.
- 1:44:06Speaker 18: There are a lot of like things out there that
- 1:44:09Speaker 18: people are saying that this right or this is wrong.
- 1:44:12Speaker 18: I think my focus is on the kids. My focus
- 1:44:14Speaker 18: is on the humanity. And I think I don't. The
- 1:44:19Speaker 18: thing is, I think it is important to just put
- 1:44:22Speaker 18: the stories of the kids out there on both sides.
- 1:44:25Speaker 18: So that is my thing. And I know I'll get
- 1:44:27Speaker 18: a lot of backlash from both sides, but I'm going
- 1:44:30Speaker 18: to keep focusing on trying to bring two sides together
- 1:44:32Speaker 18: because you know what? I do have a lot of
- 1:44:33Speaker 18: Jewish friends and many of the things that we do
- 1:44:36Speaker 18: is actually so similar. Like the food that we eat,
- 1:44:39Speaker 18: the culture and everything. of thing. So to me, I
- 1:44:43Speaker 18: think my job as an activist, I need to be,
- 1:44:45Speaker 18: I'm going to keep focusing on trying to bring two
- 1:44:47Speaker 18: sides together because we have enough walls between us. I
- 1:44:50Speaker 18: think we need to knock down those walls and start
- 1:44:51Speaker 18: building bridges.
- 1:44:53Speaker 15: Okay.
- 1:44:53Speaker 1: You didn't say yes to genocidal. That's good. Your response
- 1:44:55Speaker 1: was fine. I'm your Jewish friend, by the way. I'm Jewish.
- 1:44:57Speaker 1: I'm your friend. So This is Enos Cantor-Freedom, who's doing
- 1:45:01Speaker 1: a great job here. We're going to get to WNBA
- 1:45:02Speaker 1: in two seconds. One last thing. This one I can't believe.
- 1:45:05Speaker 1: I know you're Muslim. I don't care, okay? God bless you, okay?
- 1:45:09Speaker 18: I appreciate that.
- 1:45:10Speaker 15: I mean it.
- 1:45:11Speaker 1: As long as you're not radical Islam, okay? That's when
- 1:45:14Speaker 1: I have an issue with you. No, I'm not.
- 1:45:15Speaker 23: Okay.
- 1:45:16Speaker 18: I'm not. I'm not as modern as it gets.
- 1:45:18Speaker 1: Okay. Are you a fan of the Muslim Brotherhood? or
- 1:45:21Speaker 1: CARE or those organizations?
- 1:45:22Speaker 18: Oh, no, please. Thank you.
- 1:45:24Speaker 1: Thank you.
- 1:45:25Speaker 18: Thank you. Let me make this very clear, man.
- 1:45:27Speaker 10: No, no, no.
- 1:45:27Speaker 18: Let me make this very clear. I don't know if
- 1:45:29Speaker 18: there's any rumor out there or whatever. Listen, Erdogan, the
- 1:45:32Speaker 18: Turkish president, is the biggest funder of ISIS, Muslim Brotherhood, Hamas,
- 1:45:39Speaker 18: and everybody knows it, right? I am his biggest enemy.
- 1:45:43Speaker 18: So if people come out and actually make a comment about,
- 1:45:46Speaker 18: I support blah, blah, whatever, definitely not. No. I am
- 1:45:51Speaker 18: as moderate as it gets. I support humanity, and I
- 1:45:55Speaker 18: support peaceful Islam, and that's all.
- 1:45:58Speaker 1: That's a great answer. You're fantastic at this. I've got
- 1:46:01Speaker 1: to be honest, bro. And I believe you.
- 1:46:03Speaker 21: I believe every word.
- 1:46:04Speaker 1: There are rumors out there, just so you know. There
- 1:46:06Speaker 1: are rumors. So you ask that question, there are. But
- 1:46:09Speaker 1: one thing that I'm not going to like, and I'm
- 1:46:11Speaker 1: going to have to yell at you loud. I know
- 1:46:12Speaker 1: you're much bigger than me, but I'm a tough looking Jew.
- 1:46:15Speaker 1: That is, are you supportive of Mamdani?
- 1:46:20Speaker 18: Who said that?
- 1:46:22Speaker 1: It's out there, man. It's yes or no.
- 1:46:24Speaker 18: Trust me. Listen, I lived in New York last year.
- 1:46:28Speaker 18: He got elected. I moved out. I'm not going to
- 1:46:31Speaker 18: give you my location. I moved out. Trust me. No,
- 1:46:36Speaker 18: I am not a supporter of Mamdani or anyone who
- 1:46:39Speaker 18: supports that guy. And to be honest with you, I mean,
- 1:46:42Speaker 18: he divides people a lot. You know, I think with
- 1:46:45Speaker 18: the position that he's in right now, right, he can
- 1:46:48Speaker 18: bring so much people in. And unfortunately, like after Tel Aviv,
- 1:46:52Speaker 18: I believe New York has the biggest, largest Jewish community. Right.
- 1:46:58Speaker 18: I think it just it just breaks my heart to
- 1:47:01Speaker 18: see how a person can be so divided. So, I mean, listen,
- 1:47:06Speaker 18: I would love to sit down and have a conversation
- 1:47:07Speaker 18: with him. And I don't want to say educate him,
- 1:47:10Speaker 18: but I want to understand where he's coming from.
- 1:47:12Speaker 1: Yeah. So, no, you could educate him. You could educate him.
- 1:47:16Speaker 18: Let me make this very clear. I do not support
- 1:47:18Speaker 18: the Muslim Brotherhood. I do not support Mamdani or anything
- 1:47:22Speaker 18: that they stand for. So I hope that is very,
- 1:47:24Speaker 18: very clear.
- 1:47:25Speaker 19: It is.
- 1:47:25Speaker 1: God bless you. Last thing. So you can't go back
- 1:47:27Speaker 1: to Turkey because Erdogan literally wants to kill you.
- 1:47:30Speaker 21: He wants to kill you.
- 1:47:31Speaker 1: Now, when I heard that the United States was going
- 1:47:34Speaker 1: to possibly do a deal with Erdogan and Get him
- 1:47:36Speaker 1: the jets and all that. You know that Israel was
- 1:47:38Speaker 1: furious because Turkey hates Israel second most to Greece. But
- 1:47:42Speaker 1: your relationship is that bad? You can never go home?
- 1:47:45Speaker 22: Ever?
- 1:47:46Speaker 18: No, I have four passwords for me. They put a
- 1:47:50Speaker 18: bounty on my head. They canceled my passport and then
- 1:47:52Speaker 18: actually put my name on Interpol. So in their eyes,
- 1:47:54Speaker 18: I am pretty much like an international criminal. So I
- 1:47:57Speaker 18: actually have a conversation with some of the people in Congress.
- 1:48:01Speaker 18: I was like, well, what do you think about all
- 1:48:03Speaker 18: the F-35s and stuff? They were like, listen, he's buying
- 1:48:07Speaker 18: S-400s from Russia and now he's asking for F-35s from us.
- 1:48:10Speaker 18: There's no way he's getting that. And people need to understand,
- 1:48:13Speaker 18: once he gets to F-35s, he will be harassing Greece, Armenia,
- 1:48:19Speaker 18: Everyone around that region, people have no idea how sick
- 1:48:23Speaker 18: Erdogan is, you know? So, no, I definitely cannot go
- 1:48:27Speaker 18: back to Turkey.
- 1:48:28Speaker 1: I'm sorry to hear that. This is Enos. Can't defeat him.
- 1:48:31Speaker 1: If you loved him before, you love him even more.
- 1:48:33Speaker 1: And if you didn't, now you love him. I promise
- 1:48:35Speaker 1: you that. Really good ball player. Played in the league
- 1:48:37Speaker 1: for 11 years. And he's going to play pro basketball again.
- 1:48:41Speaker 1: I was going to play for the WNBA. So I
- 1:48:43Speaker 1: saw you at the game last week. You had that
- 1:48:44Speaker 1: cute shirt on, women describing a woman. Now, I know
- 1:48:48Speaker 1: that one of the ballplayers started mouthing at you, which
- 1:48:51Speaker 1: is kind of silly. You're like 6'10. You're a big,
- 1:48:53Speaker 1: strong guy. I don't know what you thought you was
- 1:48:55Speaker 1: going to do. And they threw you out of the arena.
- 1:48:57Speaker 1: But I thought, Enos, that you said yesterday that you'll
- 1:49:01Speaker 1: stop all this, right?
- 1:49:02Speaker 21: You're not going to want to enter the draft.
- 1:49:04Speaker 1: You're not going to want to play basketball with them.
- 1:49:06Speaker 1: All that stuff. All they got to do is come
- 1:49:09Speaker 1: out and explain what a biological woman is. Is that true?
- 1:49:14Speaker 18: Listen, all I want is literally simply one word. If
- 1:49:19Speaker 18: they go out there tomorrow and add the word biological
- 1:49:22Speaker 18: next to the female in their collective bargaining, which I
- 1:49:26Speaker 18: can help them, Article 13 of Section 1, it says
- 1:49:30Speaker 18: only women were eligible to play. Just add the word biological.
- 1:49:35Speaker 18: I will drop everything tomorrow. You know, so I'm not
- 1:49:40Speaker 18: I'm not a difficult person to deal with. I'm a peacemaker.
- 1:49:43Speaker 18: I'm not a troublemaker. So, I mean, it's very crazy.
- 1:49:48Speaker 18: Around two weeks ago, 15 women got in the room,
- 1:49:52Speaker 18: spent hours and hours trying to find out what a
- 1:49:55Speaker 18: woman is, came out of the meeting and said, well,
- 1:49:59Speaker 18: we need we need weeks or maybe months to find out.
- 1:50:03Speaker 18: what a woman is. I mean, how disrespectful that is
- 1:50:06Speaker 18: to all the players currently who's playing in WNBA. I'm just,
- 1:50:10Speaker 18: if I was a player, I promise you, I will
- 1:50:12Speaker 18: just boycott the league, you know? So I'm, I'm, I'm confused. Um,
- 1:50:17Speaker 18: I think the historians is going to look back in
- 1:50:20Speaker 18: this time and laugh a lot. And I think we
- 1:50:22Speaker 18: just need to be the right side of history.
- 1:50:24Speaker 1: I mean, it's so embarrassing that we, uh, we're arguing
- 1:50:27Speaker 1: about this, uh, Enos having men play women's sports. I mean,
- 1:50:30Speaker 1: You know, basketball, we see that. I actually, I know
- 1:50:33Speaker 1: you saw this in the Olympics a couple years ago.
- 1:50:36Speaker 1: They had men boxing women. The men, they said they
- 1:50:39Speaker 1: were women. You saw that, right? Was that nuts?
- 1:50:43Speaker 18: So, listen, they're okay with it. Like, see, that's my point. Like,
- 1:50:47Speaker 18: the league itself, the WNBA, the coaches, and the players
- 1:50:51Speaker 18: are advocating for it. They are okay with biological male
- 1:50:54Speaker 18: play in their league, and they have no idea once
- 1:50:57Speaker 18: they open that door, we're going to be stealing their money,
- 1:51:00Speaker 18: we're going to be stealing their job, we're going to
- 1:51:02Speaker 18: be stealing their endorsement deals. And at that point... You
- 1:51:05Speaker 18: don't need the WNBA. Just merge the NBA and the WNBA.
- 1:51:11Speaker 18: We can go out there and just have one league.
- 1:51:13Speaker 18: And the WNBA losing $ 50 million a year. $ 50 million
- 1:51:18Speaker 18: a year. So they won't be losing that money. So
- 1:51:21Speaker 18: at that point, just have one league.
- 1:51:24Speaker 21: But you know they're seen.
- 1:51:25Speaker 1: You have to be honest with me because you've been
- 1:51:26Speaker 1: honest this whole conversation. You've been amazing. I really think
- 1:51:29Speaker 1: you're great. You've had this nightmare that you get drafted.
- 1:51:32Speaker 1: You end up on the New York Liberty. You're a
- 1:51:34Speaker 1: guy that averaged one year 18 and 11 in the NBA.
- 1:51:37Speaker 21: Those are great numbers.
- 1:51:38Speaker 1: You averaged a double-double for the season. And your nightmare
- 1:51:42Speaker 1: is you wake up. It's the middle of the season,
- 1:51:44Speaker 1: and you're averaging eight points a game and four rebounds.
- 1:51:50Speaker 1: And you're getting your ass kicked by people like Angel
- 1:51:52Speaker 1: Reese and that girl out in Las Vegas.
- 1:51:54Speaker 21: And I mean, it could happen.
- 1:51:56Speaker 1: It's not likely going to happen, but could you imagine
- 1:51:58Speaker 1: that after all this, you finally get into the league
- 1:52:01Speaker 1: and these girls.
- 1:52:01Speaker 21: Kick your ass?
- 1:52:03Speaker 18: Listen, once I got in the league, they don't change
- 1:52:07Speaker 18: the rules. Once I got in the league, I'll be
- 1:52:09Speaker 18: breaking every record out there. there won't be any records
- 1:52:14Speaker 18: standing anymore, you know, but the thing is they're okay
- 1:52:17Speaker 18: with it. So if they're okay, I don't understand why
- 1:52:19Speaker 18: people are mad at me. Like they're okay with it.
- 1:52:22Speaker 18: It's like a bargaining. So if you're, if you're cool
- 1:52:26Speaker 18: with it, then I'm a, I'm a rule follower.
- 1:52:29Speaker 1: Well, who's mad at you?
- 1:52:31Speaker 18: Who's managing me?
- 1:52:32Speaker 4: God.
- 1:52:33Speaker 18: No, no, no.
- 1:52:34Speaker 1: These are crazy people. You understand that, right? They're crazy.
- 1:52:38Speaker 18: Of course, obviously, we get a lot of death threats,
- 1:52:41Speaker 18: for sure. Like, every day.
- 1:52:42Speaker 21: Oh, you do?
- 1:52:43Speaker 18: Tons of, tons of, of course. I mean, every day
- 1:52:45Speaker 18: there are tons of death threats. But the thing is, like,
- 1:52:48Speaker 18: people misunderstand. This is God's work. I'm not anti-trans. I'm
- 1:52:52Speaker 18: just pro-woman. Like, I know, like, there's some media outlets
- 1:52:55Speaker 18: out there that are trying to, like, you know, trying to, like,
- 1:53:00Speaker 18: view me as, like, oh, he's anti-trans, he's anti-LGBTQ. I
- 1:53:03Speaker 18: said this in my first video, Sid. I was like, listen, man.
- 1:53:07Speaker 18: I'm not here to mock, make fun of any kind
- 1:53:09Speaker 18: of personal decision. I'm not here to, you know, make
- 1:53:13Speaker 18: fun of people. I'm here to, you know, just follow
- 1:53:16Speaker 18: the rules. So if tomorrow they come out and change
- 1:53:19Speaker 18: the rules, I will drop everything and I will just...
- 1:53:22Speaker 18: start organizing basketball camps. And you know what? I love
- 1:53:25Speaker 18: doing that. Whenever we organize these basketball camps, man, we
- 1:53:28Speaker 18: bring Muslims, Jews, and Christians together, and we talk about
- 1:53:33Speaker 18: our common shared values. And it's been an amazing time,
- 1:53:39Speaker 18: and I want to keep doing that. But if you
- 1:53:41Speaker 18: don't change the rules like that, I'm going to get
- 1:53:42Speaker 18: ready for the draft.
- 1:53:43Speaker 1: By the way, where do Muslims, Christians, and Jews all
- 1:53:46Speaker 1: live together and live happily? Israel. I just want people
- 1:53:50Speaker 1: to know that. Right? Right, Enos? They all live there together.
- 1:53:53Speaker 1: So last one. When I was a kid, there was
- 1:53:55Speaker 1: a really good ball player. His name was World... What
- 1:53:59Speaker 1: was his name?
- 1:54:00Speaker 8: World B.
- 1:54:00Speaker 18: Free.
- 1:54:00Speaker 1: World B.
- 1:54:01Speaker 18: Free.
- 1:54:01Speaker 1: No, no, but the world came later. He changed his name.
- 1:54:04Speaker 1: He actually changed it. Right. It was Lloyd.
- 1:54:06Speaker 14: Right?
- 1:54:07Speaker 1: Then he became World B.
- 1:54:08Speaker 18: Free.
- 1:54:08Speaker 1: So you're Enos Cantor, a really good ball player and
- 1:54:11Speaker 1: a very likable guy. And then you decide one day
- 1:54:13Speaker 1: to add freedom. Where were you? What were you thinking?
- 1:54:17Speaker 1: How did that name get attached to you?
- 1:54:20Speaker 18: You know, I think that freedom is the most important
- 1:54:22Speaker 18: thing for human beings after literally air, water and food.
- 1:54:26Speaker 18: You know, when I grew up in Turkey, I didn't
- 1:54:29Speaker 18: have any of those. I didn't have freedom of speech,
- 1:54:31Speaker 18: freedom of religion, freedom of expression. You know, if you
- 1:54:35Speaker 18: go against the government and you and your family members
- 1:54:38Speaker 18: will be tortured to death. And everyone in the Middle
- 1:54:41Speaker 18: East knows that, knows what I'm talking about. And then
- 1:54:44Speaker 18: when I come to America, right, I started to see
- 1:54:47Speaker 18: the freedom we have in this country. So I wanted
- 1:54:49Speaker 18: to make the word part of me and carry it
- 1:54:50Speaker 18: everywhere I go. Because it is important to inspire the
- 1:54:55Speaker 18: next generation. And unfortunately, kids these days, they go on TikTok, right?
- 1:55:01Speaker 18: And whatever their algorithm is, that's what they're going to believe.
- 1:55:05Speaker 18: And I think we do need more leaders out there
- 1:55:08Speaker 18: that was going to inspire the next generation so we
- 1:55:10Speaker 18: can have a better and brighter future. So if any
- 1:55:12Speaker 18: parents out there listening to this, if any kids out there,
- 1:55:15Speaker 18: please control your kids. Please don't let them get all
- 1:55:19Speaker 18: this information on TikTok or any other media or social
- 1:55:22Speaker 18: media apps because it's toxic and they can just get
- 1:55:27Speaker 18: radicalized immediately by those apps.
- 1:55:30Speaker 1: You're an amazing guy. I mean that sincerely. I do
- 1:55:32Speaker 1: want you to run for office, and I will help
- 1:55:34Speaker 1: you because I'm like Trump. When I endorse somebody, they win.
- 1:55:37Speaker 1: So when you're in New York, I know you're at
- 1:55:40Speaker 1: Fox News today, but please come by the studios and
- 1:55:41Speaker 1: say hello. This was a great conversation, and you're great.
- 1:55:45Speaker 18: I did see your tweet, by the way. You better
- 1:55:46Speaker 18: delete that tweet.
- 1:55:47Speaker 1: What did it say?
- 1:55:49Speaker 18: You know what I'm talking about. I know. It was
- 1:55:52Speaker 18: like a month ago, so you better delete that tweet.
- 1:55:56Speaker 18: We're in peace now.
- 1:55:57Speaker 1: Oh, I didn't realize I did that. Was I nasty?
- 1:55:59Speaker 18: Oh, you were kind of nasty. You thought I was against...
- 1:56:04Speaker 18: You thought I was anti-Semitic. Right. And I'm like, I'm
- 1:56:10Speaker 18: probably like the most friendly to all the Jewish people
- 1:56:13Speaker 18: out there. I was confused. I'm like, what is he
- 1:56:15Speaker 18: talking about? Anyway, I was like, I'm going to talk
- 1:56:17Speaker 18: to him.
- 1:56:19Speaker 1: I'm going to.
- 1:56:19Speaker 18: Oh, my God.
- 1:56:20Speaker 1: I'm going to do something. I'm going to do something
- 1:56:22Speaker 1: right now I don't ordinarily do. You ready for this?
- 1:56:25Speaker 18: Okay.
- 1:56:26Speaker 1: I'm sorry.
- 1:56:28Speaker 18: Oh, my God. Okay, this is actually breaking news.
- 1:56:34Speaker 1: I'm going to tweet it. I'm going to say, because
- 1:56:36Speaker 1: I was wrong. Listen, people tell me stuff all the time.
- 1:56:40Speaker 1: I was honest. Two conversations last night. One is the
- 1:56:43Speaker 1: guy loves Israel. The other girl, no, he hates Israel.
- 1:56:45Speaker 1: I believe you 100%. I'm going to delete that tweet.
- 1:56:48Speaker 18: I don't know who they are, but whoever they are, please,
- 1:56:51Speaker 18: I wish they can come and speak to me. I
- 1:56:54Speaker 18: wish they can come and just talk to me because
- 1:56:56Speaker 18: I'm not a difficult person to talk to. I'm not
- 1:56:57Speaker 18: one of the nicest person ever.
- 1:56:59Speaker 1: Agreed.
- 1:56:59Speaker 18: Let me tell you something, Sid. My job right now,
- 1:57:02Speaker 18: I don't know if you know the work that I
- 1:57:03Speaker 18: do with my foundation. I go around the world. I
- 1:57:06Speaker 18: organize these basketball camps, right? And we bring motherfuckers. Muslims, Jews,
- 1:57:09Speaker 18: and Christians together. And whenever we sit down, kids ask
- 1:57:13Speaker 18: a lot of crazy questions. And with these basketball games,
- 1:57:16Speaker 18: we try to de-radicalize those kids because they are radicalized, unfortunately,
- 1:57:21Speaker 18: because of these extreme groups out there. And you know
- 1:57:23Speaker 18: exactly what I'm talking about. So if anything, the Jewish
- 1:57:27Speaker 18: people should be very thankful with what I'm doing. I'm
- 1:57:30Speaker 18: probably the only Muslim out there who's actually trying to
- 1:57:33Speaker 18: bring two sides together.
- 1:57:34Speaker 1: It's true. No, no, no. You're great. I'm telling you,
- 1:57:36Speaker 1: you're great. I didn't I've got, I tweeted that I'm
- 1:57:39Speaker 1: taking it down and I have nothing but nice things
- 1:57:41Speaker 1: to say about you. And the next person. that says
- 1:57:43Speaker 1: that to me, I'm going to punch him across the face.
- 1:57:45Speaker 1: How about that?
- 1:57:46Speaker 15: I love it.
- 1:57:47Speaker 18: I appreciate that. Thank you.
- 1:57:49Speaker 1: You did a great job.
- 1:57:50Speaker 18: I need some kosher food. I need you to buy
- 1:57:53Speaker 18: me some kosher food for your story.
- 1:57:55Speaker 1: Come by. I'll take you for lunch. Okay.
- 1:57:57Speaker 21: Sound good.
- 1:57:58Speaker 1: All right.
- 1:57:58Speaker 18: Also, if you want to know more, actually, um, I
- 1:58:01Speaker 18: have a book out there. It's called in the name
- 1:58:02Speaker 18: of freedom on Amazon. So once you get it, I
- 1:58:05Speaker 18: talk a lot about the Jewish-Muslim relationship and my first
- 1:58:09Speaker 18: Shabbat dinner, actually. Oh, nice. So please read that book
- 1:58:13Speaker 18: and you'll understand better what I'm doing.
- 1:58:15Speaker 1: How old is that book?
- 1:58:15Speaker 21: When did it come out?
- 1:58:17Speaker 18: Oh, it came in 2025. It just came out, and
- 1:58:21Speaker 18: it was the New York Times bestseller. The week that
- 1:58:24Speaker 18: it came out, we have sold more books than Kamala
- 1:58:26Speaker 18: Harris and Ozzy Osbourne, so I'm proud of it.
- 1:58:28Speaker 1: You should be. I loved Ozzy Osbourne, but Kamala's a moron.
- 1:58:33Speaker 1: But come in here. We'll talk about the book. I
- 1:58:35Speaker 1: sell a lot of books. I'm like Oprah Winfrey and
- 1:58:37Speaker 1: Don Imus. I'll sell a ton of books for you, okay?
- 1:58:39Speaker 18: I appreciate that, brother.
- 1:58:40Speaker 21: Enos, you're great.
- 1:58:41Speaker 1: You really are. You're terrific.
- 1:58:42Speaker 21: I really enjoyed this. Thank you so much.
- 1:58:44Speaker 18: Thank you, my man.
- 1:58:45Speaker 1: God bless you. What a terrific guy.
- 1:58:47Speaker 20: Jeez.
- 1:58:47Speaker 1: Enos can't defeat him. I love him. I love the guy.
- 1:58:51Speaker 1: Go erase that tweet, Justin. I don't even remember doing it.
- 1:58:54Speaker 1: Of course you don't. I feel terrible now. Of course
- 1:58:56Speaker 1: you don't. I feel terrible. The guy's great. Yeah. This
- 1:59:00Speaker 1: guy's a super guy.
- 1:59:01Speaker 8: You're going to be lunch buddies.
- 1:59:02Speaker 1: You're going to be my real friends. Oh, my God.
- 1:59:03Speaker 1: Forget about it.
- 1:59:04Speaker 22: Of course.
- 1:59:05Speaker 1: I'm going to enroll in the Jews versus Muslim Basketball League.
- 1:59:09Speaker 1: I want to score 40 off Abdul.
- 1:59:11Speaker 17: He wants to play one-on-one football.
- 1:59:17Speaker 1: The guy actually read the tweet. He still came on
- 1:59:19Speaker 1: the show. So he's been harboring this resentment, just so
- 1:59:21Speaker 1: you know. And he still came on.
- 1:59:24Speaker 8: Very cool.
- 1:59:25Speaker 21: It was very nice.
- 1:59:26Speaker 1: He waited until like 18 minutes ago. You know, I
- 1:59:29Speaker 1: saw that tweet, by the way, you bastard.
- 1:59:30Speaker 8: And was laughing.
- 1:59:31Speaker 1: He was laughing about it, right? You call me anti-Semitic.
- 1:59:34Speaker 1: It's cool. I don't even remember. How'd you see that?
- 1:59:37Speaker 24: Well, you tagged him in the post. You said his
- 1:59:39Speaker 24: full name.
- 1:59:39Speaker 15: I guess.
- 1:59:40Speaker 24: You put it on the internet.
- 1:59:41Speaker 1: Yeah, he was shocked.
- 1:59:43Speaker 8: You saw that? That's what this meant to.
- 1:59:47Speaker 2: Sid and Friends in the Morning on the Red Apple
- 1:59:50Speaker 2: Podcast Network.
- 1:59:52Speaker 1: When I first met you doing the Super Bowl show,
- 1:59:54Speaker 1: you were doing a boot show. Now, he's a great guy,
- 1:59:57Speaker 1: you know, and I've known him since the Amish days
- 2:00:00Speaker 1: for 26 years. He loved the conversation. No, he's... And
- 2:00:03Speaker 1: he's a Lebanese guy. And, you know, they're dealing with
- 2:00:05Speaker 1: a lot with Beirut and Hezbollah in Israel. So he
- 2:00:09Speaker 1: loves his sports. He loves his Boston teams. Loves the
- 2:00:13Speaker 1: Boston teams. No ma.
- 2:00:16Speaker 21: But he's a very smart guy. And I think he
- 2:00:19Speaker 21: wants to rule the world.
- 2:00:20Speaker 1: I don't know. But I could see Enos. And I've
- 2:00:23Speaker 1: called him Enos, Enos, Enos. I have no idea what
- 2:00:25Speaker 1: his name is. What's his actual name? Do you know?
- 2:00:28Speaker 8: Well, it's E-N-E-S.
- 2:00:30Speaker 21: I guess that's Ennis. But I've heard it pronounced Ennis
- 2:00:33Speaker 21: and Anus, as in the old rectum.
- 2:00:36Speaker 8: Yeah, I think we got that part of it.
- 2:00:40Speaker 21: Maria Bartiromo said, here he is, Anus.
- 2:00:42Speaker 24: Right, it's still the current rectum, by the way. It
- 2:00:44Speaker 24: doesn't have to be the old rectum.
- 2:00:45Speaker 21: I love that guy. But he should run for Congress.
- 2:00:48Speaker 1: I love him. And I was being honest with him.
- 2:00:51Speaker 1: I had sets of phone calls last night, and some,
- 2:00:54Speaker 1: like Peter King, were like, this guy's great. And somebody
- 2:00:57Speaker 1: else was like, oh, be careful. He's full of it.
- 2:01:00Speaker 1: I didn't get the impression he was full of it there.
- 2:01:02Speaker 1: I don't know.
- 2:01:02Speaker 24: I would go with the.
- 2:01:03Speaker 21: With Peter King.
- 2:01:04Speaker 18: Yeah.
- 2:01:04Speaker 24: With the elected congressman.
- 2:01:06Speaker 18: Yeah.
- 2:01:06Speaker 1: He was like, he's like, what? A couple of times
- 2:01:09Speaker 1: he said, who told you that?
- 2:01:11Speaker 18: Right.
- 2:01:12Speaker 21: He got mad. He's like, Mom, Donnie, I moved out
- 2:01:14Speaker 21: of New York.
- 2:01:15Speaker 18: Right.
- 2:01:15Speaker 1: I believe him.
- 2:01:17Speaker 3: Right.
- 2:01:17Speaker 21: Yeah. And he got really mad about the Muslim Brotherhood statement.
- 2:01:21Speaker 1: And care.
- 2:01:22Speaker 18: Yeah. Yeah.
- 2:01:23Speaker 8: That's why he wanted to clear things up. That's why
- 2:01:25Speaker 8: he made it a point. Hold on. Let me clear.
- 2:01:27Speaker 1: Let me clear. Yeah, he can. Let me make this
- 2:01:28Speaker 1: very clear. You know, they told us he had about
- 2:01:31Speaker 1: 15 minutes. I think he was on for 22. Something
- 2:01:33Speaker 1: like that. And he would have stayed on for longer
- 2:01:35Speaker 1: than that. These people never want to get off the
- 2:01:36Speaker 1: phone with me.
- 2:01:37Speaker 4: No.
- 2:01:37Speaker 1: Remember when Margo Martin would tell us 10 minutes for Trump?
- 2:01:39Speaker 15: Mm-hmm.
- 2:01:40Speaker 21: The last one was 43 minutes.
- 2:01:41Speaker 24: Yeah, she's like texting you.
- 2:01:42Speaker 1: Like, you could do something.
- 2:01:43Speaker 14: I know.
- 2:01:43Speaker 21: But they don't want to get off.
- 2:01:45Speaker 1: And I think Enos probably, well, you know me, obviously,
- 2:01:49Speaker 1: the tweet and all that. Nobody knows who I am, but.
- 2:01:52Speaker 1: He probably wanted to come on here, most importantly, and
- 2:01:55Speaker 1: clear the air.
- 2:01:56Speaker 8: Absolutely.
- 2:01:57Speaker 1: Because he's been on a Romo show a thousand times
- 2:01:59Speaker 1: and Kilmeade a thousand times, but he wanted to clear
- 2:02:01Speaker 1: the air with me.
- 2:02:02Speaker 24: And all they're asking him about is the WNBA stuff.
- 2:02:05Speaker 1: Oh, that's all they did right. He did Israel, Turkey, Mamdani.
- 2:02:09Speaker 24: Oh, there's so much more to the guy.
- 2:02:11Speaker 18: Yeah.
- 2:02:12Speaker 1: Michael Rappaport just texted me, who loves basketball. I love Michael.
- 2:02:16Speaker 1: And he said, excellent with Enos. And he's a big
- 2:02:19Speaker 1: basketball guy, Michael, but he's also a very smart guy.
- 2:02:22Speaker 1: Hopefully he's going to run for mayor. You know, I
- 2:02:24Speaker 1: saw something on Michael's Twitter, I guess. I don't know.
- 2:02:28Speaker 1: Maybe Instagram. That Hassan Piker actually called him out, mentioned
- 2:02:32Speaker 1: his name. He's like, we got terrible people in this
- 2:02:35Speaker 1: world like Michael Rappaport. Really? He's a terrible person? Hassan Piker,
- 2:02:41Speaker 1: you little bitch. I said it on the air two
- 2:02:44Speaker 1: days ago, and I'm going to stand by it. If
- 2:02:47Speaker 1: I see him, I will punch him across the face.
- 2:02:51Speaker 1: And then he'll kick my ass. It'll be really embarrassing,
- 2:02:52Speaker 1: but Lou will laugh. You can't get your ass kicked
- 2:02:55Speaker 1: by Hasan Piker, can you? No. No way, right?
- 2:02:58Speaker 8: And that's not going to happen.
- 2:02:59Speaker 1: He wears suits like his father. You know, daddy suit,
- 2:03:02Speaker 1: they call it. But anyway, he called out Michael Rapaport.
- 2:03:05Speaker 1: Michael Rapaport is one of the finest human beings I've
- 2:03:09Speaker 1: ever met.
- 2:03:09Speaker 21: I mean that.
- 2:03:10Speaker 1: He's a brilliant guy. He's funny, talented. He's a comedian.
- 2:03:13Speaker 18: He's an actor.
- 2:03:16Speaker 1: But he's just a decent soul, Michael. His wife is
- 2:03:20Speaker 1: a great person, too. So thank you, Michael, for that.
- 2:03:23Speaker 1: I thought it was excellent, too. It's the only interview
- 2:03:25Speaker 1: I've seen or heard with Enos that we went into
- 2:03:28Speaker 1: all of that.
- 2:03:29Speaker 21: Because lately all it's been is WNBA.
- 2:03:31Speaker 15: That's it.
- 2:03:32Speaker 1: So I haven't seen anybody else cover all the topics
- 2:03:35Speaker 1: that we did. But then again, that's why I'm going
- 2:03:38Speaker 1: to the Hall of Fame and you're not.
- 2:03:39Speaker 24: And you won't, by the way.
- 2:03:41Speaker 4: Right.
- 2:03:41Speaker 18: Right.
- 2:03:42Speaker 1: I thought at some point he may say, stop this.
- 2:03:45Speaker 1: I'm here to talk about boobs and vagina and the WNBA.
- 2:03:49Speaker 24: No, he was more than willing to dive into whatever.
- 2:03:52Speaker 24: You even said, hey, I'm going to confront you right now.
- 2:03:55Speaker 1: He said, please do. He did say that. Please do.
- 2:03:58Speaker 1: He did. He's like, let's go.
- 2:04:02Speaker 21: He ain't playing in the league, though, right? That's not
- 2:04:04Speaker 21: going to happen.
- 2:04:05Speaker 24: Well, they already said they won't.
- 2:04:06Speaker 1: I know, but he said he's going to sue him.
- 2:04:08Speaker 1: I guess he can sue him.
- 2:04:10Speaker 22: Because.
- 2:04:11Speaker 1: The way they describe the players in the league, I guess,
- 2:04:15Speaker 1: the whole thing is very confusing. I just don't care.
- 2:04:18Speaker 1: Is he can't play, him and Royce White.
- 2:04:19Speaker 8: Well, if you get to illegal matters, that'll drag out.
- 2:04:23Speaker 18: Right.
- 2:04:23Speaker 8: And it's, of course, you could.
- 2:04:26Speaker 1: Make a case for it. Look, this is all about
- 2:04:27Speaker 1: the bigger picture of Lou and everybody else. This is
- 2:04:29Speaker 1: about this ridiculous notion. The transgender community and some of
- 2:04:33Speaker 1: these whacked-out Democrats, these are not Republicans, okay?
- 2:04:36Speaker 21: Don't tell me that both sides are crazy.
- 2:04:39Speaker 1: No, no. There is one side that is entirely nuts.
- 2:04:45Speaker 1: We have our issues. We're not perfect Republicans, and we
- 2:04:48Speaker 1: got our fair share of assholes, too. They're not serving
- 2:04:51Speaker 1: the country, but people like Tucker and Candace and those losers.
- 2:04:56Speaker 1: There is one side that is one million times more
- 2:05:00Speaker 1: insane than the other, and that's the lunatics on the left.
- 2:05:03Speaker 8: And intolerant, too. And they don't listen.
- 2:05:06Speaker 1: They don't listen.
- 2:05:06Speaker 8: They don't listen.
- 2:05:07Speaker 21: You're right. They're intolerant.
- 2:05:08Speaker 1: And they want this.
- 2:05:09Speaker 21: They want.
- 2:05:10Speaker 1: My daughter, at one point, was a very good tennis player.
- 2:05:13Speaker 1: She really was. We spent a lot of money, me
- 2:05:15Speaker 1: and Danielle. She trained with Rick Macy. If you've ever
- 2:05:19Speaker 1: seen the movie King Richard with Will Smith... Okay? Well,
- 2:05:24Speaker 1: he won the Academy Award, then he smacked Chris Rock
- 2:05:26Speaker 1: across the face. So he takes Serena and Venus to
- 2:05:30Speaker 1: Rick Macy in Boca Raton.
- 2:05:33Speaker 21: They were in California, out there by Watts.
- 2:05:36Speaker 1: He goes to Boca. That's who trained Ava. Same guy.
- 2:05:40Speaker 21: He also trained.
- 2:05:42Speaker 1: I want to go with Andy Roddick. I think Gabrielle Sabatini.
- 2:05:47Speaker 1: I think Maria Sharapova. Gabriella said all these famous people
- 2:05:52Speaker 1: he trained. And Ava was really good. And then she
- 2:05:55Speaker 1: came to New York and decided that her new sport
- 2:05:56Speaker 1: was going to be Starbucks instead of tennis. That's fine.
- 2:05:59Speaker 1: But if I ever want to see my daughter play,
- 2:06:02Speaker 1: and I did. Me and Danielle many, many times. And
- 2:06:05Speaker 1: some guy walked on the court, put on a wig
- 2:06:08Speaker 1: or something and said, but I'm a female. I don't
- 2:06:11Speaker 1: know what I would do. What kind of normal person
- 2:06:14Speaker 1: is okay with that? My daughter worked her ass off,
- 2:06:17Speaker 1: and she was good. And some guy's going to walk
- 2:06:20Speaker 1: on the court and beat her 6-2, 6-2, or 6-0, 6-0,
- 2:06:24Speaker 1: and then celebrate a win like this loser? What was
- 2:06:28Speaker 1: his name, the one who beat Wally Gaines in the
- 2:06:30Speaker 1: swimming pool in Pennsylvania? Leah Thomas.
- 2:06:31Speaker 21: Leah Thomas.
- 2:06:32Speaker 1: What a loser. What a pussy. Go out there. When
- 2:06:38Speaker 1: he raced against men, he was like 140th in the world.
- 2:06:42Speaker 1: And then he goes against Riley Gaines. He's the best ever.
- 2:06:45Speaker 1: What are you? What are we nuts? What are we doing?
- 2:06:49Speaker 1: This is just sanity versus insanity. This is not. This
- 2:06:54Speaker 1: is really at this point. As I get set to
- 2:06:57Speaker 1: go to Vegas and hang out with all these great
- 2:06:58Speaker 1: Republicans all weekend long. All of them. Even J.D.
- 2:07:01Speaker 20: Vance.
- 2:07:02Speaker 1: I'll talk to him. This is good versus evil, folks.
- 2:07:07Speaker 1: It's no longer Republicans versus Democrats, your thoughts versus mine.
- 2:07:11Speaker 1: This is good versus evil. These people are insane. They
- 2:07:15Speaker 1: want to take away your guns. I don't even own
- 2:07:18Speaker 1: a gun. I don't own a gun. I don't care.
- 2:07:21Speaker 21: I like the fact that I'm surrounded by people who
- 2:07:23Speaker 21: have guns.
- 2:07:24Speaker 1: When I go to Israel, and you know this, Justin,
- 2:07:27Speaker 1: everybody we walk with, from Judah Honeckman, they all got guns.
- 2:07:31Speaker 1: I'm good with that. I'm all about the Second Amendment,
- 2:07:34Speaker 1: and I don't even own a gun. They want to
- 2:07:36Speaker 1: take away your guns. They want boys to play with girls.
- 2:07:40Speaker 1: They want wide open borders so every couple of days
- 2:07:45Speaker 1: more and more terrorists come into our country. They want
- 2:07:49Speaker 1: to raise your taxes. They're not about uniting people. Think
- 2:07:56Speaker 1: about it. Barack Obama, first black president. Oh, this is
- 2:08:00Speaker 1: going to be so nice I cried I'll be honest
- 2:08:03Speaker 1: when he was walking to the White House with his
- 2:08:06Speaker 1: wife and two daughters I got emotional I was like
- 2:08:09Speaker 1: all right this is I'm going to try this it
- 2:08:13Speaker 1: was nonsense Michael Brown in Ferguson Missouri who tried to
- 2:08:18Speaker 1: grab the gun from the cop and try to kill him.
- 2:08:20Speaker 1: That poor cop's life has been ruined. Then you had
- 2:08:24Speaker 1: Freddie Gray in Baltimore and Eric Garner on Staten Island.
- 2:08:27Speaker 1: And all these cases, George Floyd later, of all these
- 2:08:32Speaker 1: black men who were bad guys, criminals, bad guys, turning
- 2:08:36Speaker 1: the country upside down for them. Some of them were murdered.
- 2:08:41Speaker 1: They were. I don't care what Elon Musk says or
- 2:08:44Speaker 1: Even my dear friend at the Post. Far as I'm concerned,
- 2:08:47Speaker 1: that cop murdered George Floyd. That doesn't mean George Floyd
- 2:08:51Speaker 1: wasn't a complete scumbag. He was. Arrested nine times. Put
- 2:08:55Speaker 1: a gun in a pregnant woman's stomach. You don't paint
- 2:08:58Speaker 1: murals for that guy. You don't build statues for that guy.
- 2:09:01Speaker 1: You don't turn the country upside down for that guy.
- 2:09:04Speaker 1: You go to the funeral and say, see ya, and
- 2:09:06Speaker 1: then give his brother $ 28 million? That's that side of
- 2:09:11Speaker 1: the aisle. That's not us. That's not us. It's enough. No,
- 2:09:18Speaker 1: it's not both sides are crazy. One side is completely insane.
- 2:09:24Speaker 1: We got work to do. And I try every day
- 2:09:28Speaker 1: to help. One side is completely insane. It's not just DSA.
- 2:09:33Speaker 1: It is the Democrats.
- 2:09:34Speaker 2: Look, I've been very clear how I feel.
- 2:09:43Speaker 1: I think what she did was evil as a loving parent.
- 2:09:47Speaker 1: Love my two children. You guys know that. I couldn't
- 2:09:49Speaker 1: imagine ever hurting them physically. I just, I couldn't, I
- 2:09:53Speaker 1: couldn't imagine it. I don't know. Let alone strangling them
- 2:09:58Speaker 1: to the point where they die. My hand on their bodies.
- 2:10:03Speaker 1: They die. I mean, what she did was incredibly evil,
- 2:10:08Speaker 1: but With that said, and I am very rarely with
- 2:10:11Speaker 1: the defense. You know that, Lou. You know that. I'm
- 2:10:15Speaker 1: for the death penalty, folks.
- 2:10:16Speaker 8: Yeah, this one kind of surprises me.
- 2:10:18Speaker 21: Yes, I know.
- 2:10:20Speaker 1: I'm just, I've watched it. You know I have, Lou.
- 2:10:22Speaker 1: I'm paying attention. And I really believe that the combination
- 2:10:28Speaker 1: of the postpartum depression, which, whatever, a lot of women
- 2:10:31Speaker 1: get that. They don't kill their kids. But the meds.
- 2:10:35Speaker 1: The med thing is what's freaking me out. And I
- 2:10:38Speaker 1: think that combination... was lethal in this case.
- 2:10:42Speaker 21: So, do I think she should be going out in
- 2:10:45Speaker 21: the street?
- 2:10:45Speaker 22: No.
- 2:10:45Speaker 21: Do I think she should be free?
- 2:10:47Speaker 18: No.
- 2:10:48Speaker 1: She needs to be locked up somewhere, but if it
- 2:10:52Speaker 1: was up to me, I'd lock her up in a
- 2:10:54Speaker 1: mental institution rather than a maximum security prison. Now, I
- 2:10:59Speaker 1: said that on this show a couple times already. They
- 2:11:02Speaker 1: put it on Instagram, at Rosenberg.Sydney, on Twitter, at SidRosenberg19,
- 2:11:08Speaker 1: And Facebook said Rosenberg. And I got yelled at. And
- 2:11:11Speaker 1: people agreed, too, like Donna Ratuno did today. And she's
- 2:11:14Speaker 1: on Fox News every day. So it's a very, very
- 2:11:19Speaker 1: hotly debated conversation. I think you are the other way, Lou, right?
- 2:11:23Speaker 1: You want her to get the electric chair, this lady, right?
- 2:11:25Speaker 8: I'm not saying electric chair. I think it's a problem
- 2:11:29Speaker 8: when you have a big protest going outside and all
- 2:11:34Speaker 8: these women and mothers. And listen, I've never given birth
- 2:11:38Speaker 8: and never will.
- 2:11:39Speaker 18: And I.
- 2:11:42Speaker 8: Can't relate to it at all. And if it was
- 2:11:44Speaker 8: up to men and me, there would be no population here.
- 2:11:47Speaker 8: So I can't speak on that. But I think it's
- 2:11:51Speaker 8: very dangerous when women are outside a courtroom and it's
- 2:11:56Speaker 8: become normalized to give her empathy and to treat murder.
- 2:12:01Speaker 1: Well, I'm not giving her empathy. I'm not.
- 2:12:02Speaker 8: But they are.
- 2:12:03Speaker 1: I know.
- 2:12:04Speaker 8: That's the issue.
- 2:12:05Speaker 1: I'm not siding with her. I don't like her. I'm
- 2:12:08Speaker 1: just looking at it from a legal standpoint. And I
- 2:12:12Speaker 1: think in this case, unlike the kid who murdered his
- 2:12:14Speaker 1: girlfriend in Pennsylvania, which was just awful, who said he
- 2:12:18Speaker 1: heard demons, but he knew to run inside to get
- 2:12:21Speaker 1: the knife. He knew to ask mommy to help bury
- 2:12:23Speaker 1: the body, ask mommy to clean the car. He knew
- 2:12:26Speaker 1: all that.
- 2:12:27Speaker 18: Okay?
- 2:12:28Speaker 1: That kid, Moser, is guilty of murder. This one is
- 2:12:32Speaker 1: not that easy for me. I don't know why. I
- 2:12:34Speaker 1: don't know why.
- 2:12:35Speaker 8: Well, there's degrees of it. She's guilty. That's it.
- 2:12:39Speaker 1: No, she killed the kids.
- 2:12:40Speaker 8: Okay, she killed the kids.
- 2:12:41Speaker 1: By the way, she said that. She's not saying I
- 2:12:44Speaker 1: didn't kill the kids. The question is, is she evil
- 2:12:48Speaker 1: or sick? Justin, do you have an opinion on this?
- 2:12:52Speaker 24: Do I have an opinion on this?
- 2:12:53Speaker 1: This is a bad question. It's a terrible question. Maybe
- 2:12:56Speaker 1: just go to the Eagles. Maybe go to the Giants
- 2:12:59Speaker 1: or not.
- 2:12:59Speaker 24: Listen, I think it's unfathomable.
- 2:13:02Speaker 17: To me, you know, I'm like you, if I had kids,
- 2:13:05Speaker 17: I would, I couldn't even see, even if I was
- 2:13:08Speaker 17: going crazy on medication, how I would get to the
- 2:13:10Speaker 17: point where not once, not twice, but three times I
- 2:13:13Speaker 17: grabbed all three of my kids and I strangled all
- 2:13:14Speaker 17: three of them to death. I just, you got to
- 2:13:17Speaker 17: do it three times. So, you know, and if you're,
- 2:13:20Speaker 17: if you're that sort of foggy brain to go in
- 2:13:23Speaker 17: that crazy because of your medication, um, you know, then
- 2:13:27Speaker 17: it took a while to get to that point. And
- 2:13:29Speaker 17: I think Obviously, there's a big contention with nobody helping her.
- 2:13:33Speaker 17: She seeked help. She said, I need help.
- 2:13:35Speaker 1: Even her mother-in-law, Susan Clancy, has said that. Look, she
- 2:13:41Speaker 1: asked for help time and time again. She defended her.
- 2:13:44Speaker 1: Her mother and mother-in-law.
- 2:13:46Speaker 24: I think if it was one kid, fine.
- 2:13:48Speaker 1: Too many kids for you.
- 2:13:49Speaker 24: She did it three times.
- 2:13:51Speaker 1: Yeah, with three kids.
- 2:13:52Speaker 14: Yes.
- 2:13:53Speaker 8: Zero kids. You cannot do that.
- 2:13:55Speaker 18: Right.
- 2:13:56Speaker 8: You cannot do that.
- 2:13:56Speaker 1: But nobody is saying it's okay.
- 2:13:58Speaker 22: No.
- 2:13:59Speaker 1: She's not going home.
- 2:14:00Speaker 18: No.
- 2:14:00Speaker 1: It's not like, okay, don't worry about it. I'll meet
- 2:14:02Speaker 1: somebody else. I'll have more kids. No one's saying that.
- 2:14:05Speaker 1: The question is, does she belong in a mental facility?
- 2:14:09Speaker 1: Or a maximum security prison.
- 2:14:10Speaker 18: Yeah.
- 2:14:11Speaker 1: So they're looking for manslaughter.
- 2:14:12Speaker 24: No, I'm with you.
- 2:14:13Speaker 17: I think the most important thing is here that she's
- 2:14:15Speaker 17: locked up in some capacity.
- 2:14:17Speaker 18: Right.
- 2:14:17Speaker 24: For, you know, hopefully the rest of her life.
- 2:14:20Speaker 18: Right. Yeah.
- 2:14:21Speaker 8: At the very least.
- 2:14:22Speaker 18: Yeah.
- 2:14:22Speaker 24: I mean, that's what would make me feel the best
- 2:14:25Speaker 24: about this.
- 2:14:25Speaker 8: I still say it's it's a very scary and terrifying
- 2:14:29Speaker 8: situation to have people out there who are trying to
- 2:14:32Speaker 8: normalize it. They're trying to normalize it like. It's okay.
- 2:14:36Speaker 1: No, you can't do that. No, you can't.
- 2:14:37Speaker 8: I know it's different cases, but the Mangione thing is
- 2:14:41Speaker 8: like this.
- 2:14:41Speaker 1: Well, he's a hero.
- 2:14:43Speaker 18: All right.
- 2:14:43Speaker 1: He's a legitimate hero.
- 2:14:45Speaker 8: And before anybody, they're totally different cases. It just reminds
- 2:14:49Speaker 8: me of it. Oh, wait, he did the right thing.
- 2:14:51Speaker 18: Yeah.
- 2:14:52Speaker 8: He did the right thing. Look at the rates of insurance.
- 2:14:54Speaker 1: In this country. They call Brian Thompson a terrorist. Poor guy.
- 2:14:58Speaker 21: Father of two insurance company.
- 2:15:00Speaker 1: He gets shot in the back. Hey, he was a terrorist.
- 2:15:04Speaker 1: Remember those stupid fat girls outside the courthouse?
- 2:15:07Speaker 21: They interviewed all three of them.
- 2:15:08Speaker 18: Why?
- 2:15:08Speaker 1: He was a terrorist. We killed terrorists. Brian Thompson was
- 2:15:12Speaker 1: a terrorist? You dumb biatch. Really?
- 2:15:16Speaker 8: I wonder how they would have felt if it was
- 2:15:18Speaker 8: some fat schlub who killed the guy.
- 2:15:21Speaker 1: He's good looking.
- 2:15:23Speaker 8: There's a lot to that.
- 2:15:24Speaker 1: There is.
- 2:15:25Speaker 21: We spend way too much importance.
- 2:15:27Speaker 1: We place... Way too much importance on how people look
- 2:15:30Speaker 1: these days.
- 2:15:31Speaker 8: They're sending a mail and love letters.
- 2:15:34Speaker 24: These days, I mean, women want to marry Ted Bundy.
- 2:15:37Speaker 21: But Ted Bundy was also good looking.
- 2:15:38Speaker 8: Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
- 2:15:41Speaker 1: I mean, if I killed somebody, I'd be mobbed.
- 2:15:44Speaker 24: Right, you'd have the women lining up.
- 2:15:45Speaker 8: It'd be worse than walking down the street with you.
- 2:15:48Speaker 1: That's true. I thought about this a couple of days ago.
- 2:15:51Speaker 1: The thing for me about going to prison that would
- 2:15:53Speaker 1: freak me out is there's no way I can tan.
- 2:15:58Speaker 1: I'm indoors 23 hours a day. They're not going to
- 2:16:01Speaker 1: let me go to the tanning salon once a week.
- 2:16:02Speaker 8: No, they're not going to let you do that.
- 2:16:05Speaker 1: That sounds like you.
- 2:16:06Speaker 24: Hey, can I get a sunlight in my cell, please?
- 2:16:10Speaker 1: The Iron Man used to get a treadmill in his
- 2:16:13Speaker 1: hotel rooms. Remember that, Lewis?
- 2:16:15Speaker 18: Yeah.
- 2:16:15Speaker 1: He would not go into the hotel until they came
- 2:16:18Speaker 1: with a treadmill. They would literally call the local gym
- 2:16:21Speaker 1: shop to drop off a treadmill for Imus.
- 2:16:24Speaker 18: Right.
- 2:16:25Speaker 21: So at least I can get a tanning bed, no?
- 2:16:27Speaker 8: You weren't at the remote where they came back and
- 2:16:31Speaker 8: they didn't do the show. You weren't at that one
- 2:16:33Speaker 8: that was in Pennsylvania.
- 2:16:33Speaker 21: Because you didn't get the treadmill.
- 2:16:36Speaker 8: It was Scranton.
- 2:16:37Speaker 21: You sure it wasn't New Hampshire?
- 2:16:38Speaker 18: No, no, no.
- 2:16:38Speaker 8: I know this was Scranton because we used to yell,
- 2:16:41Speaker 8: remember Scranton?
- 2:16:42Speaker 1: Oh, that's funny.
- 2:16:43Speaker 8: He never went on the air because Deirdre's phone calls
- 2:16:46Speaker 8: weren't getting placed through his throat.
- 2:16:47Speaker 21: Oh, is that what it was?
- 2:16:48Speaker 8: Yeah, he got completely freaked out.
- 2:16:49Speaker 21: There were three things.
- 2:16:50Speaker 1: Deirdre's phone calls, the treadmill, and the pillows.
- 2:16:53Speaker 8: Oh, yeah, right. He needed a special pillow.
- 2:16:54Speaker 1: Yeah, he needed a special pillow.
- 2:16:55Speaker 18: Yeah. Yeah.
- 2:16:57Speaker 1: Call Mike Lindell.
- 2:16:58Speaker 8: Tell us we haven't lived in an insane world.
- 2:16:59Speaker 1: I mean, he was insane. He was insane. But I...
- 2:17:03Speaker 1: But you're okay. But he was great. No, I was great.
- 2:17:06Speaker 1: Come on.
- 2:17:06Speaker 8: No, I'm kidding.
- 2:17:07Speaker 1: I am going to mention the I-Man, of course, at
- 2:17:09Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame luncheon. Maybe when I bring you up,
- 2:17:13Speaker 1: I'll say, I met this guy on the Imus show,
- 2:17:15Speaker 1: and Imus clearly had a great eye for talent. He
- 2:17:18Speaker 1: had Lewis on that show. He had me on that show.
- 2:17:20Speaker 1: He had Bernard on that show. Mike Breen. I mean,
- 2:17:23Speaker 1: you got to give him that. You could argue all
- 2:17:24Speaker 1: day about how great he was. I ain't arguing that.
- 2:17:27Speaker 1: But man, did he have an eye for talent on this.
- 2:17:29Speaker 15: Charles.
- 2:17:30Speaker 22: Charles.
- 2:17:30Speaker 1: I mean, he put more.
- 2:17:32Speaker 8: Rob, Larry.
- 2:17:33Speaker 18: All of them. Yeah.
- 2:17:34Speaker 1: How about all this Mike and the Mad Dog, Iron Eagle?
- 2:17:37Speaker 1: He put more talent in TV and radio than maybe
- 2:17:41Speaker 1: any other radio host ever. He's got to be, right?
- 2:17:45Speaker 15: True.
- 2:17:46Speaker 1: Hall of Famers. Mike Breen's in the Hall of Fame.
- 2:17:49Speaker 18: Yeah.
- 2:17:49Speaker 21: Sid Rosenberg.
- 2:17:50Speaker 1: In the Hall of Fame. All from the Imus tree.
- 2:17:54Speaker 1: Pretty impressive.
- 2:17:55Speaker 8: I'm just glad he didn't shoot any of us when
- 2:17:57Speaker 8: he took his gun.
- 2:17:58Speaker 1: Or we wouldn't be in that tree.
- 2:18:00Speaker 18: He tried.
- 2:18:00Speaker 1: He tried. Are we done?
- 2:18:02Speaker 8: We should be done, yes.
- 2:18:04Speaker 1: All right, so we're going to be wrapping up for today.
- 2:18:05Speaker 1: It's been a great Thursday show, great guests, and great conversations.
- 2:18:08Speaker 21: We'll do it again tomorrow.
- 2:18:10Speaker 1: We have a couple of real big-name guests stopping by,
- 2:18:12Speaker 1: a bunch of Republicans that are going to speak with
- 2:18:15Speaker 1: me in Las Vegas coming up on Sunday and Monday
- 2:18:19Speaker 1: at the RJC.
