  Speaker 6: he'll be back tomorrow, Sid and friends. He's in Las
• 0:39
  Speaker 6: Vegas on making his way back to New York City,
• 0:42
  Speaker 6: but you got an amazing crew this morning. John Cassimatidis,
• 0:45
  Speaker 6: Michael Cohen, myself. Lots of special guests going to be
• 0:48
  Speaker 6: stopping by all morning long. I don't know if you
• 0:51
  Speaker 6: guys saw this yesterday, but this woman went on a
• 0:54
  Speaker 6: stabbing spree in Times Square. So Times Square, you can imagine...
• 0:59
  Speaker 6: on the week before Labor Day, the last week of
• 1:03
  Speaker 6: the summer, is just teeming with tourists.
• 1:06
  Speaker 7: But she did this before.
• 1:08
  Speaker 6: This is a woman who had mental health issues. So
• 1:10
  Speaker 6: she goes, this is 4.30 in the afternoon. So you
• 1:12
  Speaker 6: can imagine how many people are in Times Square, 4.30
• 1:14
  Speaker 6: in the afternoon. A lot of people, thousands of people.
• 1:17
  Speaker 6: This woman, she's 49 years old. She's known to cops.
• 1:21
  Speaker 6: She comes out with two knives, pulls them out of
• 1:24
  Speaker 6: a Target bag, And within 20 seconds, she has stabbed
• 1:27
  Speaker 6: two people, one of them a 32-year-old woman.
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: She kills her.
• 1:31
  Speaker 7: She stabs her and kills her.
• 1:33
  Speaker 6: The other person, thank God, another individual, he's going to
• 1:35
  Speaker 6: be okay. So now cops go looking for her. And, boy,
• 1:38
  Speaker 6: I just want to tell you how amazing the NYPD
• 1:40
  Speaker 6: was in this moment, as they always are. Within about
• 1:43
  Speaker 6: four or five minutes, they figure out where she is.
• 1:45
  Speaker 6: So if you know Times Square, you know they have
• 1:47
  Speaker 6: that NYPD substation right in the middle of Times Square.
• 1:51
  Speaker 6: It's got the big bright lights, you know, above it.
• 1:53
  Speaker 6: She's hiding essentially behind there. Police confront her. They spend
• 1:57
  Speaker 6: about four to five minutes.
• 1:58
  Speaker 7: By the way, let me interrupt you. Look at the
• 2:01
  Speaker 7: headline on the, on the screen over there. 41 shot,
• 2:06
  Speaker 7: three killed this weekend in Chicago.
• 2:08
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 2:08
  Speaker 6: Thank God we're not Chicago. I mean, thank God.
• 2:10
  Speaker 7: And they only have one third of the population.
• 2:12
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 2:13
  Speaker 6: No, it's an, it's amazing.
• 2:14
  Speaker 9: And then you remember when Donald Trump turned around and
• 2:16
  Speaker 9: he said that I need to send the national guard there.
• 2:19
  Speaker 9: If they can't take care of the citizens, it's my responsibility. And,
• 2:23
  Speaker 9: At that point in time, they said, you're not bringing
• 2:25
  Speaker 9: anybody here. And then all of a sudden you had
• 2:27
  Speaker 9: all the protests erupting again.
• 2:29
  Speaker 6: Yeah, and if you ask the people of Chicago, I
• 2:31
  Speaker 6: imagine a lot of them, if you polled them, they say, Yeah,
• 2:34
  Speaker 6: bring in the National Guard. I don't want my kids
• 2:37
  Speaker 6: to be unsafe on the streets, and it's exactly what
• 2:39
  Speaker 6: this took place yesterday, Times Square.
• 2:41
  Speaker 7: How do you think the two people that got stabbed
• 2:43
  Speaker 7: would have felt?
• 2:43
  Speaker 6: It was random, by the way. She did not know
• 2:45
  Speaker 6: these two people. They're just minding their own business. We
• 2:47
  Speaker 6: don't even know who they are. They haven't ID'd them yet,
• 2:50
  Speaker 6: but they're just in Times Square.
• 2:51
  Speaker 7: Could you imagine your kids walking around Times Square?
• 2:54
  Speaker 9: You know, it hits very close to home here because
• 2:56
  Speaker 9: this is our home. And, you know, the same for
• 2:59
  Speaker 9: the people in Chicago. The same for the people, you know,
• 3:02
  Speaker 9: all in wherever this stuff is taking place. I mean,
• 3:05
  Speaker 9: it's not that this is random. This stuff is happening
• 3:08
  Speaker 9: everywhere around the country now. People are losing it.
• 3:12
  Speaker 7: It's happening in the blue states. Why? Because, you know,
• 3:18
  Speaker 7: the lack of law and order.
• 3:20
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 3:20
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 3:21
  Speaker 6: I mean, in this case, the NYPD did an amazing job.
• 3:23
  Speaker 6: So this woman, she has a knife. She starts confronting
• 3:26
  Speaker 6: the cops. They spent about five minutes trying to talk
• 3:28
  Speaker 6: her down. Then they taser. That doesn't work. She walks
• 3:31
  Speaker 6: through the taser and she's going towards them and she's
• 3:34
  Speaker 6: telling them, she's telling the cops, I'm going to kill you.
• 3:37
  Speaker 6: I'm going to kill you. So that, of course, in
• 3:39
  Speaker 6: that moment, they had every right to open fire, which
• 3:41
  Speaker 6: they did. And they killed her. And then we later
• 3:43
  Speaker 6: find out she's this woman that's known to police who
• 3:45
  Speaker 6: has mental health issues. Then you start to ask the question.
• 3:48
  Speaker 6: Why isn't she getting the help that she needs? What
• 3:50
  Speaker 6: is she doing on the street? Why does she have
• 3:52
  Speaker 6: knives in her bag and a Target bag in the
• 3:54
  Speaker 6: middle of Times Square? 4.30 in the afternoon on a Monday? Outrageous.
• 3:59
  Speaker 7: And it goes back to what I've been saying for
• 4:02
  Speaker 7: the last couple of years, and I'm going to say
• 4:03
  Speaker 7: it one more time just in case nobody heard me.
• 4:08
  Speaker 7: There used to be 28,000 people in Bellevue-type institutions, and
• 4:14
  Speaker 7: now there's maybe 6, 7, or 8,000. The other 20,000,
• 4:19
  Speaker 7: did they get cured?
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: No.
• 4:21
  Speaker 7: Or they're homeless in the streets?
• 4:23
  Speaker 6: No, they're homeless in the streets.
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 4:25
  Speaker 7: So that's who you're dealing with. And there's something wrong.
• 4:30
  Speaker 7: Somebody cut the budget and say, these people, they don't
• 4:35
  Speaker 7: have to be in a hospital. Put them, you know,
• 4:37
  Speaker 7: get them out.
• 4:39
  Speaker 6: Yeah, you know, and people forget. I do these stories
• 4:41
  Speaker 6: every day.
• 4:41
  Speaker 7: I like to do a story sometimes. And Michael, who
• 4:46
  Speaker 7: was the governor? And if Governor Patterson is going to
• 4:50
  Speaker 7: be here later on, maybe he knows. Who's the one
• 4:54
  Speaker 7: that closed the Bellevue-type institutions and put these people in
• 4:58
  Speaker 7: the streets?
• 4:59
  Speaker 9: I'll tell you what I remember from a legal standpoint.
• 5:03
  Speaker 9: What ended up happening is you had a whole slew
• 5:05
  Speaker 9: of litigation against the city of New York, whereby they
• 5:09
  Speaker 9: claimed that we were violating laws. these individuals' rights, that
• 5:13
  Speaker 9: you just cannot. Remember there was a time years ago, John,
• 5:16
  Speaker 9: that they would pick people up off the street if
• 5:18
  Speaker 9: they saw somebody sleeping and could be freezing outside on
• 5:23
  Speaker 9: a grate that had heat coming up from the subway.
• 5:28
  Speaker 9: They would actually take them, they would bring them to Bellevue,
• 5:30
  Speaker 9: many of whom unfortunately have mental disorders. And then they
• 5:35
  Speaker 9: would place them for a watch or a hold in Bellevue. Well,
• 5:39
  Speaker 9: they stopped that because of the litigation against the city,
• 5:42
  Speaker 9: some of which was successful on behalf of the plaintiffs.
• 5:46
  Speaker 9: And you say, wait, wait, we're trying to help somebody.
• 5:51
  Speaker 9: Their response was, we don't want help. Well, you know
• 5:54
  Speaker 9: what ends up happening? Exactly what you just heard. took
• 5:57
  Speaker 9: place in Times Square.
• 5:59
  Speaker 6: Yeah, well, I can tell you from personal experience, and
• 6:01
  Speaker 6: I'm not going to ID who this person is, but
• 6:02
  Speaker 6: I have a family member who has pretty severe mental
• 6:04
  Speaker 6: health issues. And the family tried to have him put
• 6:08
  Speaker 6: into an institution, but ultimately, he's an adult. He has
• 6:11
  Speaker 6: to say what he wants to do. So he was
• 6:14
  Speaker 6: able to convince them pretty quickly that, no, he didn't
• 6:17
  Speaker 6: need to be there. And so they let him out.
• 6:19
  Speaker 6: Thank God. I mean, knock on wood, he hasn't been
• 6:21
  Speaker 6: violent or anything. But unless the person wants to be
• 6:24
  Speaker 6: locked up, they can't be unless they commit a crime.
• 6:27
  Speaker 6: Unless they do something, they act out. Otherwise, it's up
• 6:30
  Speaker 6: to that individual. So that's part of the problem, too,
• 6:32
  Speaker 6: is they may not know they have severe health issues
• 6:35
  Speaker 6: because they don't realize what's going on. And unless they
• 6:38
  Speaker 6: agree to be sent to an institution to get help,
• 6:42
  Speaker 6: they won't be forced into that situation. They can walk
• 6:45
  Speaker 6: the streets and do what they need to do.
• 6:46
  Speaker 9: And like I said, there's always an overzealous attorney that's
• 6:49
  Speaker 9: willing to take on a case, specifically one against the
• 6:53
  Speaker 9: city of New York. The pocket defendant.
• 6:56
  Speaker 6: In this case, by the way, you've got to applaud
• 6:58
  Speaker 6: these cops.
• 6:59
  Speaker 9: There's no one better than the NYPD, right, John? I mean,
• 7:02
  Speaker 9: John and his wife Margo, the things that they do
• 7:06
  Speaker 9: for the NYPD, we have here in New York, and
• 7:09
  Speaker 9: I'm not saying anything negative about any other police department.
• 7:13
  Speaker 9: I believe that NYPD is the single best police department
• 7:17
  Speaker 9: in the entire country.
• 7:18
  Speaker 7: If you look around the country, a lot of their
• 7:21
  Speaker 7: police chiefs, a lot of their people, were NYPD trained. So,
• 7:28
  Speaker 7: you know, we're the training ground for the whole country. Yeah.
• 7:30
  Speaker 6: And how many of our police officers go elsewhere or
• 7:33
  Speaker 6: promoted to chiefs and commissioners in other cities because they
• 7:37
  Speaker 6: were trained here?
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: A lot.
• 7:38
  Speaker 6: They got their training here. Did you see this story?
• 7:41
  Speaker 6: This is getting, the governor is getting a lot of
• 7:43
  Speaker 6: blowback for this. So Governor Kathy Hochul over the weekend,
• 7:48
  Speaker 6: she put on a headscarf during a visit to an
• 7:53
  Speaker 6: Islamic center in This was in Queens. She went to
• 7:56
  Speaker 6: the Islamic Cultural Center of New York in Queens over
• 8:00
  Speaker 6: the weekend as part of an appearance. Of course, she's
• 8:02
  Speaker 6: running for re-election, so I imagine she's trying to gain
• 8:05
  Speaker 6: any traction she can with all different communities. And she's
• 8:08
  Speaker 6: getting a lot of bull back because they say, wait
• 8:10
  Speaker 6: a minute, why are you going to an Islamic Cultural
• 8:13
  Speaker 6: Center with the 25th anniversary of the 9-11 attacks now
• 8:17
  Speaker 6: less than two weeks away? The timing seems odd. Why
• 8:22
  Speaker 6: are you doing it now? And so you have conservatives
• 8:25
  Speaker 6: hitting her hard. You have people, by the way, on
• 8:27
  Speaker 6: the left also giving her a hard time about this.
• 8:29
  Speaker 6: What do you think she was thinking when she showed
• 8:31
  Speaker 6: up at this Islamic center over the weekend?
• 8:34
  Speaker 7: I guess, you know, she has a campaign to run.
• 8:37
  Speaker 7: She's only seven, eight weeks left to the campaign. So
• 8:40
  Speaker 7: she's trying to hit as many people as she can.
• 8:43
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 8:43
  Speaker 9: You know, personally, I don't have a problem with Kathy
• 8:48
  Speaker 9: Hochul putting on a hijab, which is what she did.
• 8:52
  Speaker 9: When you step into a mosque, I'm not so sure
• 8:55
  Speaker 9: that an Islamic cultural center constitutes. And I say this
• 9:00
  Speaker 9: when President Trump came to my children's bar and bat mitzvahs,
• 9:05
  Speaker 9: he actually put on a yarmulke. I've seen him do
• 9:07
  Speaker 9: it before. I remember when together we went to, unfortunately,
• 9:10
  Speaker 9: a funeral of someone who passed Jewish, and he put
• 9:14
  Speaker 9: on a yarmulke. It's out of respect. It's not a
• 9:17
  Speaker 9: sign of anything. So I get that. If you are
• 9:20
  Speaker 9: stepping into a mosque, into a church, into a synagogue,
• 9:24
  Speaker 9: you put on what is customary.
• 9:27
  Speaker 7: I get that.
• 9:28
  Speaker 9: But to an Islamic center, that would be like going
• 9:31
  Speaker 9: to the Holocaust Museum. And if you're non-Jewish, putting on
• 9:35
  Speaker 9: a yarmulke or a headscarf. I don't see that happening.
• 9:40
  Speaker 9: I'm with you, John. She did it because she's... She's
• 9:44
  Speaker 9: looking for more votes. She's trying to appeal to everyone.
• 9:47
  Speaker 9: Truth be told, I don't think she appeals to anyone.
• 9:50
  Speaker 9: She has screwed up this state so badly in so
• 9:54
  Speaker 9: many different ways. I can't understand why anybody would vote
• 9:59
  Speaker 9: for Kathy Hochul.
• 10:00
  Speaker 6: Well, the polls, unfortunately, so the race, I mean, what,
• 10:03
  Speaker 6: 10-point difference? It's come down from what it was back
• 10:06
  Speaker 6: in the spring where it was much higher.
• 10:07
  Speaker 7: I think it might be closer than that. Let's take
• 10:11
  Speaker 7: this ICE law, the new law she signed into, and
• 10:16
  Speaker 7: I know we talked about it yesterday, this new law
• 10:18
  Speaker 7: that she signed in. I would not mind, again, saying
• 10:22
  Speaker 7: what I said before. I wouldn't mind if they're killers, rapists, whatever,
• 10:31
  Speaker 7: that at least them, you should allow state troopers and
• 10:38
  Speaker 7: the DAs to deal with ICE.
• 10:39
  Speaker 6: To cooperate with ICE.
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: To cooperate.
• 10:41
  Speaker 7: But not to cooperate on killers, not to cooperate on rapists,
• 10:46
  Speaker 7: drug dealers. You know, people, you know, it's the 80-20 rule.
• 10:52
  Speaker 7: You know what the 80-20 rule is? That when you
• 10:55
  Speaker 7: tell them that we're going to allow our police department
• 10:59
  Speaker 7: to cooperate with ICE when it comes to rapists, drug
• 11:02
  Speaker 7: dealers that are killing your kids, and murderers, and people
• 11:07
  Speaker 7: that are non-citizens that throw people, that push people onto
• 11:12
  Speaker 7: the subway tracks. 80% of the people say, yeah, let's
• 11:16
  Speaker 7: do that.
• 11:16
  Speaker 6: I would say it's more than that.
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 11:18
  Speaker 7: I mean, it is common sense. It's logical, right? I mean, nobody,
• 11:21
  Speaker 7: I don't think anybody wants these people. But not to
• 11:23
  Speaker 7: cooperate with anybody. I think that's wrong.
• 11:26
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: Well, I guess.
• 11:27
  Speaker 7: By the way, my daughter came to see me yesterday.
• 11:29
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 11:30
  Speaker 7: And she, you know, she's the Manhattan GOP chairperson and
• 11:33
  Speaker 7: the vice chair of the state. And she is going
• 11:37
  Speaker 7: on Bruce Blakeman's trail.
• 11:40
  Speaker 10: Oh, really?
• 11:40
  Speaker 6: So what is she going to do? She's going to
• 11:41
  Speaker 6: speak on his behalf?
• 11:44
  Speaker 7: Whatever she's asked to do, but she's going.
• 11:46
  Speaker 9: To, I guess, promote the GOP agenda, right? I mean,
• 11:50
  Speaker 9: that's probably what Bruce Blakeman does. Look, I've said this
• 11:55
  Speaker 9: to John many, many times. It's always about the message.
• 12:01
  Speaker 9: That's what people want. They want a simplistic message. It's
• 12:05
  Speaker 9: one of Donald Trump's greatest strengths. Simplistic message. What are
• 12:10
  Speaker 9: we trying to say here? It's not, and it should
• 12:13
  Speaker 9: not be considered this massive crime coming into America.
• 12:17
  Speaker 7: I get it. You broke the law. No problem.
• 12:19
  Speaker 9: But some of these people have been here now 20,
• 12:22
  Speaker 9: 30 years. They have not just one generation, but two
• 12:25
  Speaker 9: generation of Americans born here. These folks pay taxes. They
• 12:31
  Speaker 9: provide a service, a service, by the way, that most
• 12:34
  Speaker 9: Americans will not do. What's going to happen when these people,
• 12:39
  Speaker 9: Folks no longer work the fields picking strawberries and blueberries.
• 12:43
  Speaker 9: What happens to construction companies that use this immigrant labor
• 12:49
  Speaker 9: within which to keep the cost down, which is already
• 12:52
  Speaker 9: out of control, for new construction in houses? There's not enough. And, John,
• 12:56
  Speaker 9: you could probably talk about this more than anybody. Are
• 12:59
  Speaker 9: you finding it difficult right now to find labor? I
• 13:03
  Speaker 9: can tell you there's a country club in Long Island.
• 13:06
  Speaker 7: A few of them. And more than just one. What
• 13:09
  Speaker 7: about you, John? You know, I'm not into that detail.
• 13:14
  Speaker 7: You know, we're a little bit above that, and it's
• 13:17
  Speaker 7: the individual company presidents that handle it. And they haven't
• 13:21
  Speaker 7: complained to me yet. That's the truth.
• 13:22
  Speaker 6: That there's a worker shortage.
• 13:23
  Speaker 7: Yes, they haven't complained.
• 13:25
  Speaker 6: You know, I noticed that not too far away from
• 13:27
  Speaker 6: where I live in Jersey City, there's a street corner
• 13:29
  Speaker 6: where the day laborers used to hang out and you
• 13:31
  Speaker 6: would see construction trucks pull up and they'd hop on
• 13:35
  Speaker 6: the back of the truck or hop into the truck
• 13:37
  Speaker 6: and they would go and work whatever it was for
• 13:39
  Speaker 6: the day. And I'm sure they were all here illegally.
• 13:42
  Speaker 6: I've noticed that crew of people. is gone i mean
• 13:46
  Speaker 6: because you stand out obviously if i shows up in
• 13:48
  Speaker 6: jersey city they know what street corner to go to
• 13:51
  Speaker 6: they're gone so that tells me that you definitely have
• 13:54
  Speaker 6: construction crews by the way they're working illegally i guess
• 13:56
  Speaker 6: hiring these workers they are probably searching for people to
• 14:00
  Speaker 6: finish off construction jobs because um... they don't have as
• 14:04
  Speaker 6: many of those people available.
• 14:05
  Speaker 9: And what happens when you don't have those people now
• 14:07
  Speaker 9: what happens to the delays in the construction think about
• 14:10
  Speaker 9: the way that it deals in the economy the costs
• 14:14
  Speaker 9: of to close, the cost for construction, the cost to
• 14:18
  Speaker 9: the potential buyer, that somewhere along the line, the developer
• 14:23
  Speaker 9: wants to make his profit. That's why he's working. That's
• 14:27
  Speaker 9: why everybody works, in order to make money. You're not
• 14:29
  Speaker 9: going to turn around and sell it for less than
• 14:31
  Speaker 9: what it's costing you, and if your labor costs rise
• 14:34
  Speaker 9: by a certain percentage, well, so does the cost for
• 14:37
  Speaker 9: the property.
• 14:38
  Speaker 6: Yeah, there is a pushback, though, within the Republican Party,
• 14:40
  Speaker 6: because a fair amount of Republicans will Say you should
• 14:43
  Speaker 6: go after anybody that came into the country illegal, not
• 14:47
  Speaker 6: the people who just got here and then committed crimes.
• 14:49
  Speaker 7: Well, we all grew up as Democrats. And those kind
• 14:53
  Speaker 7: of Republicans, that's why we grew up as Democrats.
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 14:57
  Speaker 7: You know, you can't have the bow tie, white shoe
• 15:00
  Speaker 7: and white socks of Republicans.
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 15:04
  Speaker 7: I still am a Democrat. I still am a Democrat.
• 15:07
  Speaker 8: Are you?
• 15:08
  Speaker 9: I've always been a Democrat. I mean, right now I
• 15:12
  Speaker 9: refuse to support the Democratic Party. I cannot support a
• 15:16
  Speaker 9: party that holds up the hand of people like Hassan
• 15:19
  Speaker 9: Piker or Graham Platner. I just can't do it. And
• 15:23
  Speaker 9: so I identify as an independent, but I'm still registered
• 15:28
  Speaker 9: as a Democrat.
• 15:30
  Speaker 7: I have a lot of Democratic friends. Well, I hope
• 15:32
  Speaker 7: we're still friends, John, even though I'm a Democrat. We
• 15:35
  Speaker 7: have a lot of Democratic friends and a lot of
• 15:37
  Speaker 7: my Democratic friends. Look, David Patterson is a good friend.
• 15:41
  Speaker 7: You know, he's been a friend for a long time.
• 15:44
  Speaker 7: And Judge Weinberg has been a friend a long time.
• 15:47
  Speaker 7: And that's what we're lacking right now is where Democrats
• 15:53
  Speaker 7: and Republicans used to disagree about But he used to
• 15:57
  Speaker 7: be able to sit at the same table.
• 15:58
  Speaker 6: Not anymore.
• 15:59
  Speaker 7: I mean, that is horrible. The old Tip O'Neill days, huh, John?
• 16:03
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 16:03
  Speaker 7: Right.
• 16:03
  Speaker 6: He'd pull out the booze from the liquor cabinet and
• 16:06
  Speaker 6: he'd sit down.
• 16:06
  Speaker 7: And have some shots. What do you mean, the liquor
• 16:08
  Speaker 7: cabinet was in his back pocket?
• 16:09
  Speaker 6: Yeah, his little tin thing in his pocket.
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, right. Yeah.
• 16:12
  Speaker 6: You know, one more before we go to a break.
• 16:14
  Speaker 6: I don't know if you saw this, but it is
• 16:15
  Speaker 6: primary day in Massachusetts today. And there's an interesting race
• 16:19
  Speaker 6: there for a Democratic primary. You have 80-year-old incumbent Ed Markey.
• 16:24
  Speaker 6: He was going up against another guy who's to the
• 16:27
  Speaker 6: left of him, pretty far left, a 47-year-old congressman, Seth Moulton,
• 16:30
  Speaker 6: for the Democratic nomination there.
• 16:32
  Speaker 7: So what's happening?
• 16:33
  Speaker 6: Well, we don't know. It's primary day. I mean, the
• 16:35
  Speaker 6: thought is that Markey will be able to pull this out.
• 16:37
  Speaker 6: They tried to use age against him. They're saying 80
• 16:40
  Speaker 6: is too old for a senator. And you're seeing this,
• 16:43
  Speaker 6: of course, in races across the country where you have
• 16:45
  Speaker 6: people of advanced age who've been in office for a
• 16:47
  Speaker 6: long time. They're trying to knock them down. They've been
• 16:49
  Speaker 6: successful in some places. Don't know if that'll be the
• 16:51
  Speaker 6: case in Massachusetts.
• 16:52
  Speaker 7: Well, you know, I got another quickie discussion. You know,
• 16:55
  Speaker 7: we're opening up a 50,000-watt station, which is very powerful
• 17:00
  Speaker 7: in the Boston area. And there's going to be a
• 17:02
  Speaker 7: second one. So there's going to be two 50,000-watt stations
• 17:06
  Speaker 7: in the Boston area. And let me tell you something
• 17:10
  Speaker 7: about Boston, about Massachusetts. 39% of Massachusetts is Republicans. And
• 17:19
  Speaker 7: these 39% of Republicans, do you know how many congressmen
• 17:25
  Speaker 7: they have? How many Republican congressmen?
• 17:28
  Speaker 6: In the state of Massachusetts?
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: Zero. Oh, okay. There you go.
• 17:31
  Speaker 7: You know how many senators they have?
• 17:33
  Speaker 11: Zero.
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 17:34
  Speaker 7: Now, what my contention is, and I've said that to
• 17:38
  Speaker 7: Dershowitz and I've said that to many people, you know,
• 17:40
  Speaker 7: if you have 39% Republicans, they deserve to get represented
• 17:47
  Speaker 7: in Congress. Not to have zero. And what I'm saying
• 17:53
  Speaker 7: is I don't care how you screw up your districts.
• 17:57
  Speaker 7: You can move them around any way you want as
• 18:00
  Speaker 7: long as you come close to representing people in Congress.
• 18:05
  Speaker 7: And supposedly the Constitution doesn't allow for that.
• 18:09
  Speaker 6: Well, in Massachusetts, it's hard to be a Republican. I mean,
• 18:12
  Speaker 6: it's always been hard.
• 18:13
  Speaker 9: That's why I broke my teeth in politics, believe it
• 18:15
  Speaker 9: or not. I worked for Congressman Joe Moakley of Massachusetts
• 18:20
  Speaker 9: in 1987 and 88 until I ended up leaving the
• 18:23
  Speaker 9: last couple of months and worked on the Michael Dukakis campaign.
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: Oh, that worked out well for you.
• 18:28
  Speaker 7: I worked on Michael Dukakis. I'll never forget. I remember
• 18:31
  Speaker 7: that day when he put that silly helmet on his
• 18:33
  Speaker 7: head in the tank. And that was about the end
• 18:36
  Speaker 7: of it. And then it was summertime anyway. He was
• 18:39
  Speaker 7: ahead big time.
• 18:40
  Speaker 6: I assume you must have been supporting him, right?
• 18:43
  Speaker 7: Well, I mean, because he was Greek, the archbishop at
• 18:47
  Speaker 7: that time says, John? You shall support Michael Dukakis. And
• 18:52
  Speaker 7: he said, amen. And on the East Coast, I was
• 18:57
  Speaker 7: the Greek that was supporting and set up a team
• 19:00
  Speaker 7: to support Michael Dukakis. And on the West Coast, there's
• 19:04
  Speaker 7: Angelo Tsakopoulos. And he said, you know, I remember it
• 19:07
  Speaker 7: like yesterday, and it's like 40 years ago.
• 19:09
  Speaker 6: I was a little bit younger, so I don't remember exactly.
• 19:12
  Speaker 6: When he rode in that tank with that silly helmet on,
• 19:15
  Speaker 6: Was he leading at that point.
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: In the race?
• 19:17
  Speaker 7: He was leading in the polls.
• 19:18
  Speaker 8: Oh, he was?
• 19:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah.
• 19:20
  Speaker 6: And that really sunk them. They were able to turn that.
• 19:22
  Speaker 6: The Republicans were really able to turn that into something.
• 19:24
  Speaker 9: They sure did. They sure did. It was possibly one
• 19:28
  Speaker 9: of the worst political campaign.
• 19:30
  Speaker 7: Moves of all time.
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: Oh, of course.
• 19:32
  Speaker 7: No, how about the other one with the revolving door? Oh,
• 19:37
  Speaker 7: where he couldn't get out? Yeah, out of jail. No,
• 19:40
  Speaker 7: when he let these people out of jail.
• 19:42
  Speaker 6: That was Dukakis as well?
• 19:43
  Speaker 5: Yeah. Yeah, yeah.
• 19:44
  Speaker 6: All right, we got a lot more to get to
• 19:46
  Speaker 6: before we head out at 10 o'clock this morning. Our
• 19:49

  Speaker 7: If everybody doesn't know, Kelly Loeffler was a U.S. senator
• 20:17
  Speaker 7: in Georgia.
• 20:18
  Speaker 8: That's right.
• 20:18
  Speaker 7: And then when she lost, President Trump appointed her. Now
• 20:24
  Speaker 7: she's the... Small Business Administration.
• 20:27
  Speaker 8: That's right.
• 20:27
  Speaker 7: So we'll talk about what is she doing with the
• 20:30
  Speaker 7: Small Business Administration.
• 20:30
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I can't wait for that as well. It is

  Speaker 6: It's a special edition of Sit and Friends in the Morning.
• 25:55
  Speaker 6: It feels a little bit like night outside. It's kind
• 25:56
  Speaker 6: of dark out this morning.
• 25:58
  Speaker 7: I've got to tell you, we're already one hour in, Noam.
• 26:00
  Speaker 7: One hour in. It seems like we're only in, what,
• 26:03
  Speaker 7: five minutes? Having so much fun in this room.
• 26:05
  Speaker 6: No, we're having a good time. Humid today, by the way,
• 26:07
  Speaker 6: if you care about things like that. We'll see some
• 26:09
  Speaker 6: thunderstorms this afternoon. Then things get a little bit nicer.
• 26:12
  Speaker 6: I was looking at the weather. This is the depressing
• 26:14
  Speaker 6: part this time of year. If you didn't have a
• 26:17
  Speaker 6: lot of time to enjoy this summer... I saw, like,
• 26:20
  Speaker 6: in the next couple weeks, we don't get, like, out
• 26:22
  Speaker 6: of the 70s. So, and then, have you noticed, like,
• 26:25
  Speaker 6: I go to bed at night? I go to bed early.
• 26:28
  Speaker 6: But when I go to bed at night, like, it
• 26:29
  Speaker 6: was light for most of the summer when I was
• 26:31
  Speaker 6: going to bed, and now it's dark again.
• 26:32
  Speaker 7: I was like, oh, no.
• 26:33
  Speaker 9: You know, the summer's been killing me. The humidity makes
• 26:36
  Speaker 9: my hair all puffy and so on. I kind of
• 26:38
  Speaker 9: hate that.
• 26:38
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm a little jealous of you, just the fact
• 26:40
  Speaker 6: that you have hair that you have to worry about
• 26:42
  Speaker 6: getting puffy.
• 26:43
  Speaker 7: So, good for you.
• 26:44
  Speaker 6: Did you see last night, Vice President Trump J.D. Vance,
• 26:48
  Speaker 6: the Jewish Republicans were meeting. It's the Republican Jewish Coalition
• 26:53
  Speaker 6: in Las Vegas. That's where Sid is. And by the way,
• 26:55
  Speaker 6: Sid will be back tomorrow doing the show, and I'm
• 26:57
  Speaker 6: sure he'll have a lot more to say about this convention.
• 26:59
  Speaker 6: He spoke there yesterday. I don't know if we have
• 27:01
  Speaker 6: audio of it, but I'm sure if we don't, we'll
• 27:03
  Speaker 6: get it tomorrow. And the big attraction of this weekend
• 27:07
  Speaker 6: ended up being J.D. Vance, the vice president. who spoke
• 27:11
  Speaker 6: in a closed-door appearance at this convention in Vegas yesterday,
• 27:15
  Speaker 6: in what he called an off-the-record conversation, talking about what
• 27:19
  Speaker 6: he says he called the elephant in the room, Israel's
• 27:22
  Speaker 6: plummeting favorability among young Americans. Not just some young Americans,
• 27:28
  Speaker 6: but I would say most young Americans don't have a
• 27:30
  Speaker 6: good view of Israel. And part of the reason J.D. Vance,
• 27:33
  Speaker 6: of course, no doubt, was there is he's likely going
• 27:36
  Speaker 6: to run for president in 2028. And he knows a
• 27:39
  Speaker 6: fair amount of the Jewish community are not fans of this.
• 27:42
  Speaker 6: So he's trying to convert them into fans. Some of
• 27:44
  Speaker 6: that has to do with his association with Tucker Carlson.
• 27:47
  Speaker 6: Tucker Carlson's been very anti-Israel as of late. And so
• 27:50
  Speaker 6: he was trying to make up to him last night.
• 27:52
  Speaker 6: We're not going to see any of this speech because
• 27:54
  Speaker 6: apparently they asked people not to tape this thing. I'm
• 27:57
  Speaker 6: sure someone must have gotten a copy.
• 27:59
  Speaker 7: Of this thing.
• 27:59
  Speaker 9: I'm still 100% certain that Sid somehow managed to get
• 28:03
  Speaker 9: some audio, maybe some video onto this thing.
• 28:06
  Speaker 7: There's no doubt in my mind.
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: I would have.
• 28:08
  Speaker 9: Yeah, well, apparently— I would have, only because I would
• 28:10
  Speaker 9: want to memorialize and be able to— I want to
• 28:14
  Speaker 9: be able to speak accurately and intelligently on the issue,
• 28:18
  Speaker 9: because it is a major issue. Antisemitism is not just
• 28:23
  Speaker 9: on the rise. It is exploded.
• 28:25
  Speaker 7: It's like just in the United— in this year alone, it's
• 28:28
  Speaker 7: up over 2,000 percent. I mean, 2,000 percent. Not a joke.
• 28:33
  Speaker 6: Yeah, well, he tried to reassure these— republican jews at
• 28:36
  Speaker 6: this convention las vegas last night that he is a
• 28:39
  Speaker 6: fan of israel and that they shouldn't think otherwise even
• 28:42
  Speaker 6: though some say israel they're worried about his relationship with
• 28:45
  Speaker 6: talk carlson and you know he hasn't disavowed that relationship
• 28:48
  Speaker 6: they're close friends and he says that's going to continue
• 28:50
  Speaker 6: but uh... he says no he's a fan of israel
• 28:53
  Speaker 6: who support the israeli country but he also wanted to
• 28:56
  Speaker 6: point out to them last night which i think was
• 28:57
  Speaker 6: smart of them is that young americans are not this
• 29:00
  Speaker 6: is a problem for israel huge problem for israel is
• 29:03
  Speaker 6: most young americans are not supporters of Israel like they
• 29:07
  Speaker 6: were generations ago. They maybe have been upset by what's
• 29:12
  Speaker 6: gone on during this war in Gaza. Some say the
• 29:15
  Speaker 6: Israelis have gone too far. That's what some of the
• 29:18
  Speaker 6: younger Americans do. And I see this. I see this
• 29:20
  Speaker 6: even with my kids, who they don't support Israel in
• 29:23
  Speaker 6: the same way that I did when I was a kid.
• 29:25
  Speaker 7: Yeah, my opinion. I don't think that's it.
• 29:30
  Speaker 6: What do you think it is?
• 29:30
  Speaker 7: I think it is that the Jewish people are overdoing
• 29:34
  Speaker 7: the word anti-Semitism. Every time you open up a newspaper
• 29:39
  Speaker 7: or you look at a TV set, it's always anti-Semitism.
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: I agree.
• 29:43
  Speaker 7: And if you overdo it, then people.
• 29:46
  Speaker 6: You lose the argument.
• 29:47
  Speaker 7: You lose the argument. You lose the argument. People get
• 29:50
  Speaker 7: tired of hearing it. They know it exists. And if
• 29:54
  Speaker 7: you don't overdo it, I think you'll win more people.
• 29:57
  Speaker 6: Well, and the thing, and then people will hate me
• 29:59
  Speaker 6: for saying this, but the truth is that you can
• 30:02
  Speaker 6: be against Israel right now because maybe you don't like
• 30:05
  Speaker 6: the government and not be anti-Semitic. But some people don't
• 30:07
  Speaker 6: see it that way.
• 30:08
  Speaker 9: No, they don't, right? You don't have to be Zionist
• 30:12
  Speaker 9: in order to believe that Israel has a right to exist.
• 30:15
  Speaker 7: Absolutely, Israel has a right to exist.
• 30:18
  Speaker 9: I get into massive arguments with friends of mine, Jewish friends,
• 30:21
  Speaker 9: when I turn around and say, I believe Israel has
• 30:23
  Speaker 9: a right to exist. I believe they are a sovereign
• 30:26
  Speaker 9: nation and they have the right to protect themselves. But simultaneously,
• 30:30
  Speaker 9: I also believe in a two-state solution. I believe that
• 30:33
  Speaker 9: Palestine has to run itself. And then my friends will
• 30:36
  Speaker 9: turn around and say, there's no such thing as Palestine.
• 30:39
  Speaker 9: And I say, that, my friend, is the problem. That's
• 30:42
  Speaker 9: the problem right there.
• 30:44
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 30:45
  Speaker 7: How many countries are there in the world? How many
• 30:49
  Speaker 7: tribes are there in the world? That don't have self-government.
• 30:54
  Speaker 10: Right.
• 30:54
  Speaker 8: How many?
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: A lot.
• 30:56
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 30:56
  Speaker 7: A lot. It's not just Palestine. How about those, that
• 31:03
  Speaker 7: tribe in Turkey? Right.
• 31:06
  Speaker 6: Well, and the truth is, look, you have this population
• 31:08
  Speaker 6: of Palestinians that are right on their border. And at some,
• 31:11
  Speaker 6: you can't just ignore.
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: That they're there. They're going to be there.
• 31:14
  Speaker 6: They're not going to go away. And so at some point,
• 31:17
  Speaker 6: you're right.
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: Good question.
• 31:19
  Speaker 6: I don't know. I mean, it has to be.
• 31:20
  Speaker 7: How many live in Palestine?
• 31:22
  Speaker 6: How many live in, let's say.
• 31:23
  Speaker 7: How many, if you took a census, how many Palestinians
• 31:27
  Speaker 7: are there?
• 31:27
  Speaker 6: It has to be more than a million.
• 31:29
  Speaker 9: No, there's way more than a million because there was
• 31:31
  Speaker 9: over 2 million that were moved out of the Gaza.
• 31:35
  Speaker 9: So it's got to be maybe three, three and a
• 31:37
  Speaker 9: half million.
• 31:38
  Speaker 6: Yeah, right. So you can't ignore an entire population. Israel's what,
• 31:40
  Speaker 6: 8 million people, something like that.
• 31:42
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 31:43
  Speaker 7: I just can't remember. But let them coexist. The ones
• 31:46
  Speaker 7: that were going to go and fight the Iranians from interior.
• 31:53
  Speaker 7: The Kurds.
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: The Kurds, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 31:54
  Speaker 7: The Kurds don't have a country either.
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: No, no.
• 31:57
  Speaker 7: I mean, there's a lot of them. Yeah. The Kurds
• 32:01
  Speaker 7: don't have a country. The Palestinians don't have a country.
• 32:04
  Speaker 7: I bet you there's another 20, 30, 40, 50 of them.
• 32:09
  Speaker 7: that don't have country.
• 32:10
  Speaker 6: Yeah, and I think what you'll also hear from young
• 32:12
  Speaker 6: American voters, but older ones as well, is they want
• 32:14
  Speaker 6: more of an even playing field when it comes to
• 32:17
  Speaker 6: the Middle East. That's what they're asking for.
• 32:19
  Speaker 9: And they've been asking for that for 2,000 years, right?
• 32:22
  Speaker 9: I mean, this is not a situation that just erupted now.
• 32:25
  Speaker 7: It didn't happen yesterday. No, it did not.
• 32:29
  Speaker 6: So, I'm sure Sid will have more to say about
• 32:32
  Speaker 6: what J.D. Vance, I know Sid was not a fan
• 32:35
  Speaker 6: of J.D. Vance, whether he was converted by one speech,
• 32:38
  Speaker 6: I kind of doubt that uh... whether the two got
• 32:41
  Speaker 6: to go out and show.
• 32:42
  Speaker 7: Us something less night right we did say he's not
• 32:45
  Speaker 7: a fan of jd vance but he will support jd.
• 32:49
  Speaker 6: Evade it is that any democrat.
• 32:52
  Speaker 7: Right away so that right maybe we maybe put out
• 32:54
  Speaker 7: a year between us and.
• 32:56
  Speaker 6: By the way jd vance doesn't get a coronation me
• 32:59
  Speaker 6: still got a run in the primary never know what's
• 33:01
  Speaker 6: gonna happen to even if he's leaf candidate that most
• 33:04
  Speaker 6: that the establishment or the trump fans favor He still
• 33:08
  Speaker 6: has to run in the primary.
• 33:09
  Speaker 7: I don't see him becoming the nominee.
• 33:11
  Speaker 6: Oh, really?
• 33:12
  Speaker 7: Nope.
• 33:12
  Speaker 9: And again, knowing Trump as I do, I don't even
• 33:15
  Speaker 9: think he's going to come out and endorse him over others.
• 33:19
  Speaker 9: And I'm not even 100% certain. Look, if it's a
• 33:21
  Speaker 9: question between Rubio and Vance, I think Rubio fits more
• 33:26
  Speaker 9: of Trump's ticket. than vance does however i'm not even
• 33:31
  Speaker 9: certain that it's going to be either the two of
• 33:33
  Speaker 9: them it's.
• 33:33
  Speaker 7: Way too early young kid.
• 33:36
  Speaker 9: Is going to come yeah there's plenty of people who
• 33:38
  Speaker 9: are planning on coming.
• 33:40
  Speaker 6: In right and don't forget democrats have a gazillion candidates
• 33:43
  Speaker 6: as well.
• 33:44
  Speaker 9: They sure do and you know here's another interesting thing
• 33:47
  Speaker 9: You never know what's in somebody's closet, the skeleton in
• 33:51
  Speaker 9: the closet. Can we sort of talk about that? Remember
• 33:54
  Speaker 9: not too long ago you had a whole slew of
• 33:57
  Speaker 9: Democrats that marched their way through the Capitol with the
• 34:01
  Speaker 9: articles of impeachment, whether it was one or two against
• 34:05
  Speaker 9: President Trump. And you had all these various different Democrats
• 34:09
  Speaker 9: standing up there making their five-minute speeches so that they
• 34:13
  Speaker 9: can have them clipped by their digital department and put
• 34:16
  Speaker 9: it out for fundraising and so on. Because that's the
• 34:19
  Speaker 9: whole nature of the game. It's all about how much
• 34:21
  Speaker 9: money that they can raise. All of a sudden, you
• 34:25
  Speaker 9: then had, for example, Eric Swalwell. Somebody who I got
• 34:28
  Speaker 9: to know over the years quite well. And I remember
• 34:31
  Speaker 9: when I was with him at the Democratic National Convention.
• 34:34
  Speaker 9: And I remember asking him, what about you? You thinking
• 34:37
  Speaker 9: about running? His wife looked at me and said, I
• 34:39
  Speaker 9: don't think so. He has too many skeletons in his closet.
• 34:42
  Speaker 9: And I was like, whoa, whoa.
• 34:45
  Speaker 6: And she wasn't kidding.
• 34:45
  Speaker 9: No, she certainly wasn't. But here's something I find so hypocritical.
• 34:50
  Speaker 9: This is a guy who stood up before the country
• 34:53
  Speaker 9: on television every single day during these impeachments and rode
• 34:57
  Speaker 9: that impeachment way for a long time who has... sexual
• 35:01
  Speaker 9: relationships with a Chinese spy, with multitude of AIDS and
• 35:07
  Speaker 9: women and so on. This is not the beacon of,
• 35:11
  Speaker 9: let's just call it American decency.
• 35:14
  Speaker 6: None of that's shocking though, right?
• 35:15
  Speaker 7: Suzanne Miller just texted me. What'd she say? And she
• 35:18
  Speaker 7: says it's 15 million Palestinians worldwide, three and a half
• 35:22
  Speaker 7: million in the West Bank.
• 35:23
  Speaker 6: Okay, there you go.
• 35:24
  Speaker 7: That's what I said.
• 35:25
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 35:26
  Speaker 6: Anyway.
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 35:27
  Speaker 6: We got, A lot more to get to this morning.
• 35:29
  Speaker 6: That was a.
• 35:30
  Speaker 7: Pretty good guess, wasn't it?
• 35:32
  Speaker 6: That was a good guess, actually. We have a bunch
• 35:34
  Speaker 6: of guests on the schedule before this morning is out.
• 35:38
  Speaker 6: Former Governor David Patterson is going to stop by. We'll
• 35:40
  Speaker 6: get an update on the war in Iraq with General
• 35:43
  Speaker 6: Blaine Holt. Anthony Cumia, who does that incredible show on
• 35:47
  Speaker 6: Sunday night. He's going to be with us starting in
• 35:49
  Speaker 6: the 8 o'clock hour. And the head of the Small
• 35:52
  Speaker 6: Business Administration, former Senator Kelly Loeffler, she's going to stop
• 35:56
  Speaker 6: by and probably some other surprises as well. It is
• 35:59
  Speaker 6: Cats and Friends filling in for Sid Rosenberg on this
• 36:05
  Speaker 6: Tuesday morning right here on 77 WABC.
• 36:14
  Speaker 16: In the roaring traffic's boom, in the silence of my
• 36:21
  Speaker 16: lonely room, I think of you.
• 36:26
  Speaker 2: Day ends now.
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: New York proud.
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: New York loud.
• 36:33
  Speaker 8: With New York attitude.
• 36:35
  Speaker 3: All here on Talk Radio 77 WABC. This is Sid
• 36:41
  Speaker 3: and Friends in the Morning.
• 36:43
  Speaker 17: 77 WABC.
• 36:50
  Speaker 18: My good buddy Sid Rosenberg on his way back from
• 36:58
  Speaker 18: Las Vegas after speaking at the Republican Jewish Conference there yesterday.
• 37:03
  Speaker 6: So he'll be back tomorrow morning. In the meantime, you've
• 37:05
  Speaker 6: got Noam Leighton, John Katsimatidis, Michael Cohen filling in until
• 37:10
  Speaker 6: 10 o'clock this morning on our Newsmaker line. Former Governor
• 37:14
  Speaker 6: David Patterson, who we started talking about his sleep patterns.
• 37:17
  Speaker 6: We'll move on sometime. Little more interesting. So I wanted
• 37:21
  Speaker 6: to start with this race. I don't know if you've
• 37:22
  Speaker 6: been following this, Governor, but there is a race in
• 37:26
  Speaker 6: Massachusetts today, a primary. Probably the highest profile race out there.
• 37:31
  Speaker 6: I don't know there's even any other primaries today except
• 37:33
  Speaker 6: this one in Massachusetts. But it's between, for the Senate
• 37:36
  Speaker 6: seat there, 80-year-old incumbent Ed Markey is taking on this
• 37:41
  Speaker 6: 47-year-old congressman Seth Moulton for the Democratic nomination for Senate.
• 37:45
  Speaker 6: And one of the big things that Moulton campaign has
• 37:48
  Speaker 6: been trying to do is talk about Ed Markey's age.
• 37:51
  Speaker 6: He's 80, and they say that's too old for him
• 37:54
  Speaker 6: still to be a senator in Washington, D.C. What do
• 37:57
  Speaker 6: you make of that?
• 37:59
  Speaker 10: Well, I did see a clip of one of the
• 38:03
  Speaker 10: debates that they had, and Markey, in my opinion, sounded
• 38:08
  Speaker 10: somewhat confused. Now, that doesn't mean that he can't win,
• 38:12
  Speaker 10: and it doesn't mean that he can't serve, but And
• 38:14
  Speaker 10: it was just part of the actual debate. But I
• 38:21
  Speaker 10: think it's interesting that people campaign to try to appease seniors.
• 38:29
  Speaker 10: And then when they become a senior themselves, people campaign
• 38:32
  Speaker 10: against them because they say it's too old. So I
• 38:35
  Speaker 10: think that I actually think Markey will win.
• 38:38
  Speaker 7: I hope so. I mean, I like the traditional guy
• 38:42
  Speaker 7: versus the socialists.
• 38:44
  Speaker 6: Yeah, well, yeah, that's a no-brainer. I mean, it is interesting, though,
• 38:48
  Speaker 6: that we have all these candidates in the race. I'm
• 38:50
  Speaker 6: in Congress already who are at an advanced age, and
• 38:54
  Speaker 6: there's been so much discussion about this. I mean, but
• 38:56
  Speaker 6: you look at the president, of course, who turned 80
• 38:58
  Speaker 6: years old. He seems to have endless energy.
• 39:01
  Speaker 9: Well, he always has had endless energy, but I'm under
• 39:04
  Speaker 9: the impression that right now the Congress is the third
• 39:09
  Speaker 9: oldest Congress in U.S.
• 39:10
  Speaker 2: History.
• 39:12
  Speaker 6: So is that a bad thing, David Patterson?
• 39:15
  Speaker 10: Well, you know, as long as people are healthy and
• 39:18
  Speaker 10: they're confident and, you know, they come in and they,
• 39:22
  Speaker 10: you know, we had some when I was in the
• 39:25
  Speaker 10: state Senate, we had some people who were ancient. I mean,
• 39:27
  Speaker 10: we had some people who I thought had fought in war.
• 39:30
  Speaker 10: war ii but the but they came in and and
• 39:34
  Speaker 10: when there was an issue that interested them they spoke
• 39:36
  Speaker 10: about it and i don't think it detracts from the
• 39:39
  Speaker 10: process because there's so many other people there in other
• 39:42
  Speaker 10: words there are 100 senators so if one of them
• 39:45
  Speaker 10: you know can't find their way to the uh floor sometimes.
• 39:48
  Speaker 10: I don't see that as a big deal. It's a
• 39:51
  Speaker 10: natural process of aging.
• 39:55
  Speaker 7: Congressman.
• 39:56
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry. Governor.
• 39:58
  Speaker 7: Could have been a senator. Think about this one.
• 40:03
  Speaker 9: You have Senator Chuck Grassley who's 92 years old. You
• 40:10
  Speaker 9: have Congress member Hal Rogers from Kentucky who's 88. You know, Again,
• 40:18
  Speaker 9: when you start saying that they fought in World War II, no,
• 40:21
  Speaker 9: I think they fought in the Civil War. I mean,
• 40:24
  Speaker 9: let's be fair about it. There comes a point in
• 40:27
  Speaker 9: time that, you know, with technology today and so on,
• 40:31
  Speaker 9: I can't understand how somebody like Chuck Grassley understands AI.
• 40:36
  Speaker 9: You know, sometimes I try to explain, you know, just
• 40:39
  Speaker 9: easy things from the cell phone to my folks.
• 40:42
  Speaker 7: Has anybody seen Mitch McConnell yet?
• 40:44
  Speaker 4: No.
• 40:45
  Speaker 6: No, they say he's going to be back in the
• 40:47
  Speaker 6: Senate sometime this month, but nobody's seen him. He's been MIA.
• 40:52
  Speaker 10: See, I think absent the natural process of having to
• 40:58
  Speaker 10: run in your own state or your own district is
• 41:02
  Speaker 10: the way you should come in and out. Even if,
• 41:05
  Speaker 10: you know, nobody's seen Senator Grassley in a long time
• 41:09
  Speaker 10: and that kind of thing. And you'll probably always have
• 41:12
  Speaker 10: that because there will be a few people who serve
• 41:16
  Speaker 10: for a long time. They get elected over and over again.
• 41:19
  Speaker 10: But as long as they can show up and participate
• 41:23
  Speaker 10: in the process, it's difficult for me. Well, first of all,
• 41:26
  Speaker 10: if we want them to leave, how do they leave?
• 41:29
  Speaker 10: We vote them out. Now, if we do anything other
• 41:33
  Speaker 10: than vote them out, then I think we're tampering with
• 41:37
  Speaker 10: our own democracy.
• 41:38
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 41:39
  Speaker 6: Talking with former Governor David Patterson. Okay, so midterms now, what,
• 41:44
  Speaker 6: 10 weeks away. Republicans doing this interesting thing next week.
• 41:47
  Speaker 6: They're going to gather in Texas for essentially a political
• 41:51
  Speaker 6: convention that we've never seen in the midterms. Will it
• 41:54
  Speaker 6: make a lick of a difference for the Republicans come November?
• 41:59
  Speaker 10: I think it will. I think it was kind of ingenious.
• 42:02
  Speaker 10: Nobody ever said that the people who were running couldn't
• 42:05
  Speaker 10: all get together and have a convention, and it will
• 42:09
  Speaker 10: obviously get covered by the media, and it gives them
• 42:12
  Speaker 10: a chance to highlight the issues that they've been talking about,
• 42:15
  Speaker 10: that in many ways the only time they can bring
• 42:17
  Speaker 10: it to the public is if they pay for advertising
• 42:20
  Speaker 10: time and put themselves on TV. But here, I guess
• 42:24
  Speaker 10: most conventions are two or three days. This will be
• 42:27
  Speaker 10: a chance for them to really– define the difference between
• 42:30
  Speaker 10: themselves and the Democrats and and totally difference between themselves
• 42:35
  Speaker 10: and the socialists.
• 42:37
  Speaker 6: Well, and that's the one they're going to have to
• 42:39
  Speaker 6: pound on.
• 42:39
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 42:39
  Speaker 6: I mean, I think that's their their inroad here. If
• 42:42
  Speaker 6: they have any chance of winning in the midterms is
• 42:45
  Speaker 6: talk about the democratic socialists.
• 42:46
  Speaker 11: No, that's right.
• 42:50
  Speaker 9: You know, but you have you have more than just
• 42:51
  Speaker 9: talking about it. When it comes to these democratic socialists,
• 42:56
  Speaker 9: what they have done is they have fractured the democratic party.
• 43:00
  Speaker 9: Because now you have, as John constantly talks about, the
• 43:03
  Speaker 9: moderate democrat, right? That's the individual, that's the individual, for example, who,
• 43:09
  Speaker 9: you know, that's the individual like I consider myself. Um,
• 43:14
  Speaker 9: then you have the DSA and then you have those
• 43:17
  Speaker 9: that are, I don't even know how to describe them.
• 43:21
  Speaker 9: So you really have three specific groups right now in
• 43:26
  Speaker 9: the democratic party that are all competing against one another.
• 43:30
  Speaker 9: And I think that that is actually an opportunity for Republicans.
• 43:34
  Speaker 9: If they play the game, right. It's an opportunity for them.
• 43:40
  Speaker 9: to continue to hold the House and the Senate come November.
• 43:45
  Speaker 10: I couldn't agree with you more, Michael. In the history
• 43:51
  Speaker 10: of being an observer and then becoming an elected official myself,
• 43:57
  Speaker 10: the socialists were around in the 60s and they would
• 44:00
  Speaker 10: pass out literature and it was almost like a joke
• 44:04
  Speaker 10: and they would make these claims that weren't even correct
• 44:08
  Speaker 10: and that kind of thing. And then they kind of
• 44:11
  Speaker 10: popped up a little bit in the late 80s.
• 44:15
  Speaker 8: Same thing.
• 44:16
  Speaker 10: But I think the difference now.
• 44:18
  Speaker 7: It popped up in the movie Barbra Streisand.
• 44:22
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 44:22
  Speaker 6: Wait, which movie was that?
• 44:24
  Speaker 7: Oh, the movie The Way We Were.
• 44:26
  Speaker 6: Oh, yeah, that's right. She's handing out the pamphlets.
• 44:27
  Speaker 7: She's handing out the pamphlets in front of the Plaza Hotel.
• 44:31
  Speaker 10: Yeah, exactly. But I think the difference now is communication.
• 44:37
  Speaker 10: The ability to have podcasts, the ability to reach people
• 44:42
  Speaker 10: from all different type of electronic means. And in that respect,
• 44:49
  Speaker 10: their ability to get their message out has increased. It
• 44:57
  Speaker 10: became more interesting to people to listen to it, whether
• 45:01
  Speaker 10: they followed it or not, than it was to hear,
• 45:04
  Speaker 10: you know, see a bunch of people standing out on
• 45:06
  Speaker 10: the street passing out leaflets. But that's going to be
• 45:09
  Speaker 10: the challenge for those of us in the Democratic Party
• 45:13
  Speaker 10: who feel like there's an attempt to hijack it. And
• 45:16
  Speaker 10: it's really going to be to tell the public what
• 45:19
  Speaker 10: has happened when other socialists have won. And you don't
• 45:23
  Speaker 10: have to go any further than 90 miles away from
• 45:25
  Speaker 10: Florida to Cuba to find out what happened. pretending that
• 45:29
  Speaker 10: you're for the people until you get into power and
• 45:32
  Speaker 10: then becoming a ruthless dictator is like, yeah, but you know.
• 45:35
  Speaker 6: It's been interesting here in New York.
• 45:37
  Speaker 7: He mentions Cuba, right? I had the Cuban ambassador on
• 45:41
  Speaker 7: the Sunday show and nice guy. I liked the guy
• 45:45
  Speaker 7: and the, you know, he's, he's a very decent person,
• 45:49
  Speaker 7: but you know, it's his opportunity to allow Washington to
• 45:53
  Speaker 7: listen to him. And I don't think he offered anything
• 45:56
  Speaker 7: that that was, uh, That was anything that the president
• 46:00
  Speaker 7: would listen to.
• 46:01
  Speaker 6: What was he saying?
• 46:02
  Speaker 7: He was just listening that they want to cooperate, but
• 46:05
  Speaker 7: they want to stay socialist.
• 46:07
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 46:07
  Speaker 7: I said, I think the president would want somebody that's
• 46:11
  Speaker 7: going to be part of North America and loyal to
• 46:15
  Speaker 7: the United States of America, not loyal to, what was
• 46:19
  Speaker 7: it called in the James Bond days?
• 46:20
  Speaker 2: Spectre.
• 46:22
  Speaker 7: Spectre. Who's Spectre now? Russia, North Korea, China, Iran. Is
• 46:31
  Speaker 7: that Spectre?
• 46:32
  Speaker 6: I think so.
• 46:33
  Speaker 7: Hey, Governor, quick question for you. You think Kathy Hochul
• 46:35
  Speaker 7: is DSA president?
• 46:38
  Speaker 10: No, I don't think she is. And actually, when I
• 46:42
  Speaker 10: knew her, when she was a city clerk of Buffalo,
• 46:44
  Speaker 10: she was pretty conservative. And and that was one of
• 46:50
  Speaker 10: the reasons that Governor Cuomo picked her to be his
• 46:52
  Speaker 10: lieutenant governor. He wanted to cover the upstate region. And
• 46:57
  Speaker 10: she was probably the best known of the people in
• 47:02
  Speaker 10: those areas around Buffalo, New York.
• 47:06
  Speaker 5: What?
• 47:07
  Speaker 10: What happens sometimes, I think, with all of us is
• 47:13
  Speaker 10: you can kind of exceed when you're feeling pressure. So
• 47:20
  Speaker 10: I think to some degree that's happened to her. Bruce
• 47:25
  Speaker 10: Blakeman has been a very good candidate against her and
• 47:28
  Speaker 10: has raised a lot of issues. If I were Bruce Blakeman,
• 47:32
  Speaker 10: I would not have done the commercial with the president.
• 47:37
  Speaker 8: They're friends.
• 47:37
  Speaker 10: That's fine. But in Democratic circles, the president lost in 2016, 2020, 2024,
• 47:47
  Speaker 10: and he will be out in 2028. But it doesn't
• 47:53
  Speaker 10: take much to get Democrats to move in a certain direction.
• 47:57
  Speaker 10: And I thought that that commercial was almost like antagonizing
• 48:06
  Speaker 10: people who were watching commercials just to see which candidate
• 48:10
  Speaker 10: they would like better.
• 48:11
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I felt the same way because he has those
• 48:13
  Speaker 6: people supporting him already. The Trump supporters are going to
• 48:16
  Speaker 6: vote for Bruce Blakeman. He needs to run the table,
• 48:18
  Speaker 6: Bruce Blakeman, in Nassau County and Westchester County, and that
• 48:22
  Speaker 6: makes it more difficult if he's standing next.
• 48:24
  Speaker 7: To President Trump.
• 48:25
  Speaker 10: Exactly, exactly.
• 48:27
  Speaker 7: I know Kathy Hochul for a long time. She's a
• 48:30
  Speaker 7: very decent lady. She's... So you're right. She was more
• 48:35
  Speaker 7: conservative when Andrew Cuomo picked her as a lieutenant governor.
• 48:42
  Speaker 7: But I think she's being squeezed by the socialists.
• 48:45
  Speaker 6: I think you're probably right. I got one last question
• 48:47
  Speaker 6: for you before we say goodbye to you, Governor Patterson.
• 48:50
  Speaker 6: I like to ask this question to you every couple
• 48:51
  Speaker 6: of years. Have you spoke to Eliot Spitzer any time recently?
• 48:54
  Speaker 2: No.
• 48:55
  Speaker 10: By the way, I know Eliot very well.
• 49:01
  Speaker 2: Oh, you speak to him.
• 49:02
  Speaker 7: I speak to him.
• 49:03
  Speaker 6: Oh, I should ask you that.
• 49:04
  Speaker 7: And I want him to come on because he's the
• 49:06
  Speaker 7: only former governor that hasn't been on WABC yet.
• 49:10
  Speaker 9: You know, you've got to go over to Vion. That's
• 49:11
  Speaker 9: where you'll find him usually having pancakes. Where?
• 49:14
  Speaker 2: Vion.
• 49:15
  Speaker 10: I have spoken to him a few times, and he
• 49:19
  Speaker 10: seems pretty happy. doing what he's doing these days.
• 49:21
  Speaker 7: Well, his father left him a zillion dollars.
• 49:24
  Speaker 6: That's always makes it a whole lot easier.
• 49:26
  Speaker 10: I'm sure that helped.
• 49:27
  Speaker 7: Thanks, Dad. And he's doing very well. He's doing very
• 49:30
  Speaker 7: well in the real estate business, and he doesn't want
• 49:34
  Speaker 7: to say anything bad about anybody because he's, In the
• 49:37
  Speaker 7: real estate business, you're dependent on zoning, and you're dependent
• 49:41
  Speaker 7: on everybody loving you. Yeah.
• 49:42
  Speaker 6: Well, by the way, the last time he might have been,
• 49:45
  Speaker 6: one of the last times he was on radio, they
• 49:47
  Speaker 6: were trying him out on WABC. This was years ago,
• 49:49
  Speaker 6: and I was playing sidekick to him for like two shows.
• 49:52
  Speaker 6: That was kind of fun.
• 49:53
  Speaker 7: Oh, I remember this.
• 49:54
  Speaker 6: Yeah, so he might be willing to come back and
• 49:55
  Speaker 6: do it again. It'd be fun to.
• 49:57
  Speaker 2: Hear what he had to say.
• 49:57
  Speaker 7: I'll call him later.
• 49:59
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 49:59
  Speaker 6: David Patterson, former governor. I hope Elliot picks up your
• 50:02
  Speaker 6: next phone call. Thanks for coming on.
• 50:05
  Speaker 10: Thanks for having me. I had a good time with
• 50:07
  Speaker 10: you guys.
• 50:07
  Speaker 7: Great speaking to you.
• 50:08
  Speaker 2: Thank you, David.
• 50:09
  Speaker 6: Coming up, my favorite Sunday night listen is the Anthony
• 50:14
  Speaker 6: Cumia show, and he's going to join us starting at 8.
• 50:17
  Speaker 2: O'clock this morning.
• 50:17
  Speaker 7: He does very well on Sunday nights.
• 50:19
  Speaker 6: He does huge.
• 50:20
  Speaker 7: You know, no matter what the ratings are between whatever,
• 50:23
  Speaker 7: his ratings go up even double.
• 50:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah.
• 50:27
  Speaker 6: I'm not surprised about that at all. We've got a
• 50:28
  Speaker 6: lot more to come up, too, Senator. Kelly Loeffler, the
• 50:31
  Speaker 6: former senator who's now the head of the Small Business Administration.
• 50:34
  Speaker 6: She's going to be live in studio and a whole
• 50:37
  Speaker 6: lot more. It is Noam, John, and Michael filling in
• 50:41
  Speaker 6: for Sid. We'll be back tomorrow right here. Sid and
• 50:43
  Speaker 6: friends in the morning, 77 WABC.
• 50:58
  Speaker 2: Let the bad guy win every once in a while.
• 51:02
  Speaker 18: When they go round and circle.
• 51:03
  Speaker 16: When they fly high like a bird up in the sky.
• 51:12
  Speaker 3: You talk, we listen.
• 51:14
  Speaker 5: 77 WABC.
• 51:22
  Speaker 13: Well, from the Apple Bank traffic desk, as you travel
• 51:24
  Speaker 13: out onto the inbound side of Long Island Expressway, about
• 51:27
  Speaker 13: what you'd expect for this time of the morning, starting
• 51:29
  Speaker 13: to build up as you get in through Queens Boulevard,
• 51:31
  Speaker 13: then on the outbound side, getting through the Clearview. A
• 51:33
  Speaker 13: lot of volume coming down the drive. Very slow from
• 51:36
  Speaker 13: the 140s down into the 70s. Again, an earlier problem there.
• 51:39
  Speaker 13: The culprit at that point. Now, we just heard from
• 51:42
  Speaker 13: Pete Morgan, northbound Route 17, right by the Garden State Parkway.
• 51:45
  Speaker 14: There's a four-car accident. There's a pretty big delay there
• 51:48
  Speaker 14: as well.
• 51:48
  Speaker 13: As you travel northbound on Route 17 coming up to
• 51:53
  Speaker 13: the Parkway. We also have some delays as you travel
• 51:56
  Speaker 13: on the Long Island Expressway on the outbound side, just west.
• 52:00
  Speaker 14: Of the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway. There was an earlier problem there.
• 52:03
  Speaker 13: Garden State Parkway is still very slow as you travel
• 52:06
  Speaker 13: both ways between 280 and Route 3. Pretty much back
• 52:09
  Speaker 13: to normal on the Parkway this morning. A lot of
• 52:11
  Speaker 13: slow traffic northbound through 135 and then again getting off
• 52:14
  Speaker 13: at 127. And mass transit at this point, everybody pretty
• 52:17
  Speaker 13: much back on or close to schedule. Traffic is sponsored
• 52:20

• 52:48
  Speaker 17: Stocks in oil majors rose on Monday after the US
• 52:51
  Speaker 17: hit the oil depot of Karg Island in Iran hard
• 52:54
  Speaker 17: on Sunday into Monday night, and Iran responded.
• 52:56
  Speaker 1: Crude oil soaring yesterday, stocks not so much.
• 52:59
  Speaker 17: NVIDIA, the chipmaker, expanding its AI strategy, investing $ 3. 5 billion
• 53:04
  Speaker 17: in a rival chipmaker called Mediatek. Professional services giant Aon
• 53:07
  Speaker 17: paying $ 17 billion for the insurance brokerage USI from investment
• 53:11
  Speaker 17: firm KKR. Some interesting people in the news yesterday. The
• 53:15
  Speaker 17: former congressman George Santos banned for life by the New
• 53:17
  Speaker 17: York-based prediction company Calchi. This after he placed bets on
• 53:21
  Speaker 17: himself about whether he would attend the State of the
• 53:23
  Speaker 17: Union address in February. Of course, he knew the answer.
• 53:25
  Speaker 17: President Trump announced new drug policies yesterday with nearly a
• 53:28
  Speaker 17: dozen drug makers. He also said that communities that don't
• 53:31
  Speaker 17: want AI data centers... will end up being backwards and poor.
• 53:35
  Speaker 17: Yesterday saw Tim Cook wave bye-bye to Apple after nearly
• 53:38
  Speaker 17: 15 years in the top job as CEO. In a
• 53:41
  Speaker 17: note to staff, he wrote, share a belief that what
• 53:43
  Speaker 17: we build matters. Incoming CEO John Ternus says AI is
• 53:48
  Speaker 17: his priority. And so, too, today, the big earnings, Michael

• 54:52
  Speaker 6: It is a Sid-free morning on Sid and Friends in
• 54:55
  Speaker 6: the morning. But don't worry, Sid's going to be back
• 54:56
  Speaker 6: tomorrow morning. He's heading back from Las Vegas. So you
• 54:59
  Speaker 6: have me, Noam, John Katsimatidis, and Michael Cohen filling in.
• 55:03
  Speaker 6: And on our newsmaker line.
• 55:05
  Speaker 7: And we're all half asleep.
• 55:07
  Speaker 6: Yeah, right, because all of us got the most four
• 55:09
  Speaker 6: hours of sleep last night. But we sound pretty good considering.
• 55:13
  Speaker 6: He has a long title, but we're so glad he's on.
• 55:15
  Speaker 6: Deputy United States Military Representative to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization.
• 55:20
  Speaker 6: I'm tired just saying that. But he's General... Blaine Holt.
• 55:23
  Speaker 6: Good morning, General Holt.
• 55:25
  Speaker 11: I need coffee after hearing that long string. How are
• 55:29
  Speaker 11: you guys?
• 55:30
  Speaker 7: Well, that's the end of the segment after we finally finished.
• 55:33
  Speaker 7: That was like a 12-minute intro. Now, Blaine lives in Idaho.
• 55:37
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 55:38
  Speaker 7: Blaine, why Idaho?
• 55:41
  Speaker 11: Well, because it's the safest distance.
• 55:43
  Speaker 8: From Washington, D.C. that you can get in this country.
• 55:46
  Speaker 7: And the potatoes.
• 55:48
  Speaker 8: Yes. And it's gorgeous. And I love it.
• 55:51
  Speaker 20: And we've got a beautiful tract of land here that
• 55:53
  Speaker 20: we hope to build on soon with the company I'm building.
• 55:56
  Speaker 6: You know, when they come out with these lists of
• 55:58
  Speaker 6: the best places to live in America, there's always times
• 56:01
  Speaker 6: in Idaho that make that list.
• 56:03
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah.
• 56:04
  Speaker 8: Oh, yeah.
• 56:05
  Speaker 5: It's.
• 56:06
  Speaker 20: It's really breathtaking, and we've got our little problem with
• 56:11
  Speaker 20: Marxists here as well, but people have a pretty good
• 56:14
  Speaker 20: set of values, and you just really can't beat it.
• 56:17
  Speaker 20: It's still the home of the rugged individualist, still the
• 56:20
  Speaker 20: home of people who cherish their freedom and their personal choices.
• 56:25
  Speaker 6: General, no doubt I'm sure you've been watching what's going
• 56:28
  Speaker 6: on in Iran. What do you think? What's the latest?
• 56:31
  Speaker 6: What do you know? What can you tell us?
• 56:33
  Speaker 11: Yeah, so we got a little kinetic with throwing some
• 56:38
  Speaker 11: missiles back at the Iranians in the past couple of days.
• 56:42
  Speaker 8: Here's why.
• 56:43
  Speaker 20: Look, they're dying out now. The IRGC has very little left,
• 56:47
  Speaker 20: and they were making a last gas to remind the Straits.
• 56:51
  Speaker 20: We caught it immediately because we're dominating the Straits from
• 56:55
  Speaker 20: a naval perspective.
• 56:57
  Speaker 11: And then they threw missiles at our bases.
• 56:59
  Speaker 20: But the targeting is really, really off. They're essentially blind,
• 57:03
  Speaker 20: but firing in all directions. And at the same time,
• 57:06
  Speaker 20: there's no money. One of the generals in this war
• 57:09
  Speaker 20: is Scott Bessette. He has absolutely not only sealed the
• 57:13
  Speaker 20: door on any money getting into Iran whatsoever, but he's
• 57:17
  Speaker 20: taking down illicit banks around the world, from Hong Kong
• 57:21
  Speaker 20: to Egypt. And this is making a huge difference, but
• 57:25
  Speaker 20: this is all setting the ground to be very fertile
• 57:27
  Speaker 20: for what's to come, and that is a revolution.
• 57:30
  Speaker 8: This regime is not going to survive this.
• 57:32
  Speaker 6: So how long do we have to wait for that
• 57:33
  Speaker 6: to happen?
• 57:35
  Speaker 8: Well, that's the problem.
• 57:35
  Speaker 20: So the good news is you don't have 130,000 U.S.
• 57:39
  Speaker 20: forces on the ground. You've got six months of war,
• 57:41
  Speaker 20: not six years of it. And when we do those types.
• 57:45
  Speaker 11: Of things, we're very predictable about when we're going to
• 57:47
  Speaker 11: take you down.
• 57:48
  Speaker 8: But this revolution, they've got to find their feet. Use
• 57:52
  Speaker 8: their equipment. Use their organization.
• 57:54
  Speaker 20: It'll take them a little time. It'll be a little messy,
• 57:56
  Speaker 20: probably a few months. But what we'll provide them is
• 58:00
  Speaker 20: air power, and they'll get bombs wherever they want them.
• 58:03
  Speaker 20: You've just got to call it in, and they do
• 58:04
  Speaker 20: have the ability to call and talk to us. You've
• 58:07
  Speaker 20: got the Kurds in the north that are going to
• 58:08
  Speaker 20: squeeze on that side. The IRGC can't flee.
• 58:11
  Speaker 8: There's nowhere to run.
• 58:12
  Speaker 20: And China and Russia right now have agreed that they're
• 58:15
  Speaker 20: going to stay on the sidelines. There's nothing coming in
• 58:18
  Speaker 20: by land. So it looks like it's all penned off
• 58:21
  Speaker 20: to give the Iranians back their country, but they're the
• 58:24
  Speaker 20: ones who have to take it to the last mile.
• 58:25
  Speaker 6: So there obviously can't be a timeline because you don't
• 58:29
  Speaker 6: want to signal when this is going to take place.
• 58:32
  Speaker 20: Well, when it's going to take place, that I can
• 58:35
  Speaker 20: tell you about. That is a conditions-based checklist that Admiral
• 58:38
  Speaker 20: Brad Cooper keeps. where these conditions have to be met,
• 58:42
  Speaker 20: the IRGC has to be this vulnerable, there has to
• 58:45
  Speaker 20: be this much crisis financially on the streets, there has
• 58:50
  Speaker 20: to be this much disarray and chaos in what was
• 58:53
  Speaker 20: the leadership, and when those conditions are all met, then
• 58:56
  Speaker 20: he'll advise the president, and the president will give the word.
• 58:58
  Speaker 8: That, okay, tell the Iranians now is their chance.
• 59:01
  Speaker 9: Yeah, but General, can I ask you this question? Because
• 59:05
  Speaker 9: Iran's president yesterday said that Iran would retire to that
• 59:11
  Speaker 9: ceasefire that memorandum of agreement that was signed what was
• 59:15
  Speaker 9: it june or july something what maybe june right if
• 59:19
  Speaker 9: the united.
• 59:20
  Speaker 7: States agrees to return.
• 59:22
  Speaker 9: So I have really two questions for you. First is,
• 59:25
  Speaker 9: why in the world do they think that President Trump
• 59:28
  Speaker 9: is going to return to a ceasefire that they never
• 59:31
  Speaker 9: held in the first place? And two, do you think
• 59:34
  Speaker 9: he should?
• 59:36
  Speaker 11: Well, the shelf life of an agreement in Iran is
• 59:38
  Speaker 11: approximately eight minutes.
• 59:40
  Speaker 8: That's one thing.
• 59:41
  Speaker 20: The other thing is we now finally have them in
• 59:45
  Speaker 20: a moment of desperation where they're willing to say anything
• 59:49
  Speaker 20: if it's going to save their necks. The only reason
• 59:51
  Speaker 20: that Pazheshkin is allowed to call himself president is because
• 59:54
  Speaker 20: he found a phone with a camera on it and
• 59:57
  Speaker 20: has a microphone and can get a word out. And
• 59:59
  Speaker 20: that's what makes him president. And that's exactly how chaotic
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 20: it is. And so as the embers are falling in
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 20: around them.
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 11: He's like, hey, what about the MOU?
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 20: And we understood what the Iranian strategy would be, which
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 20: is to kick the can down the road, fake out
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 20: everybody about the MOU, and try to bide for time
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 20: and scream bloody murder. They thought they'd make it to
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 20: the midterms. Well, it's obviously they're not going to.
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 11: And President Trump, in the meantime, has said, hey, revolutionaries.
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 20: Here's your gear, here's your stuff, get organized. get ready
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 20: here because here it comes so we actually use their
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 20: strategy against them so.
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 9: You probably agree with me that trump will not go
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 9: for it well i'm i'm kind of curious as to
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 9: i'm i was thinking as soon as i was reading
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 9: the article i think was like in the associated press
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 9: or something i was thinking to myself knowing trump as
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 9: well as i do what what do i think he
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 9: knows that as you just said they cannot be trusted
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 9: At the same point in time, he wants the Strait
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 9: of Hormuz opened so that the naval blockade, which is
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 9: still going to stay there, they can get some relief themselves.
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 9: It's a very perplexing situation. I'm curious as to how
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 9: do you think he's going to play it?
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 20: Well, at the core, the president understands at the strategic
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 20: level that now that we have undertaken this mission, You
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 20: cannot leave our grandchildren with revenge-minded Armageddon psychopaths in perpetuity
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 20: who will only go pursue that nuclear weapon as fast.
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 11: As they can and actually light it off.
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 8: So that's off the table.
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 20: And then you have to pull your lens out and say, well,
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 20: who is the president wanting to make a deal with? Certainly,
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 20: Iran is on its way to having a free government,
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 20: but it's also a leg of the City of London
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 20: and the financialists called Lloyds.
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 11: Of London that Besant has told us.
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 20: About many times. Those are the people who should be
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 20: trying to cut a.
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 11: Deal with right now because that's what this war is
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 11: really rolling.
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 20: Up to, is sovereigntists versus the globalists who are very
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 20: upset that they used to control all the resources in
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 20: the Straits, and now they don't. And so those legs
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 20: are being destroyed.
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 8: Wait a minute.
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 20: The president pulled them right off balance because what happened
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 20: over the weekend, you had the Venezuela oil deal. And
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 20: now it looks like the United States is on track
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 20: to not own but control up to 80 percent of
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 20: energy stocks and energy in the in the world. And
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 20: so now if you're a financialist who has been living
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 20: off of this and living off of these fake wars
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 20: over decades, you're on the run. You're in desperate spaces.
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 20: You're the one who wants to cut a deal. So
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 20: you're going to probably see banks getting very cozy with
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 20: Scott Pesent saying, can't we work it out?
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 8: We used to have such a good deal.
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 6: We're talking with General Blaine Holt. What do we know
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 6: about these revolutionaries who would be involved in any kind
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 6: of uprising in Iran? Who are they?
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 8: Yep.
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 20: So, well, Iranian people, but when you say Iranians, you're
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 20: only really talking about 60% of them being Persian descent.
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 20: You've got Zoroastrians, Christians, Hindus. You've got Jews. You've got
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 20: the Kurds in the north. They've been organizing not completely
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 20: along sectarian lines but more geographic southeast, southwest, and northwest areas.
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 20: are your predominant groups. The last item in the checklist
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 20: that had to get them ready to go is that
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 20: the economy now with the door shut on illicit monies
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 20: is so sealed that the economic pain is there that
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 20: the rest of the population knows they had better put
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 20: their hearts and minds with the revolutionaries because there's no
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 20: other way out of this.
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 6: You know, I'm embarrassed to say that I get a fair,
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 6: I've spent a fair amount of time watching TikTok. And
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 6: a fair amount of these videos from Iran have showed
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 6: up in my feed where it's people showing how desperate
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 6: it is there right now, waiting in these long gas lines,
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 6: waiting to get groceries. So I imagine that's all going
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 6: to play into this, no?
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 20: It absolutely are all factors that were strategically architected between
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 20: Admiral Brad Cooper and Treasury Secretary Scott Besant. You're watching
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 20: a phased operation that goes back and forth between kinetics, communications, information,
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 20: psychological warfare, and then financial operations. So when I see
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 20: people getting into stovepipes and saying, oh, we're flailing, we
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 20: don't know what we're doing, it's a quagmire, I'm like, hey, look,
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 20: I'll show you a quagmire. It ended with bodies flying
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 20: off of my C-17 in Afghanistan after 20 years of nothing.
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 20: just a lot of misery and pain and death, a
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 20: lot of it on our side. So this is going
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 20: extremely well. I think the president's going to get to
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 20: take a victory lap. He has proven that he has
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 20: much tougher steel than the midterm shot clock, and I
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 20: think he's going to benefit from it.
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 7: By the way, this September 24th, I think St. Nicholas Church,
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 7: or St. Nicholas Chapel, or whatever it is, St. Nicholas
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 7: Downey World Trade Center, is having a big dinner, and
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 7: you know who they're honoring?
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 6: Blaine Holt?
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 2: Zelensky.
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 6: Oh, Zelensky.
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 8: Okay.
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 7: Wow. As the highest layperson in the Greek Orthodox Church,
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 7: I did not know the committee of St. Nicholas picked that.
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 6: You would have been against that?
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 7: I would have been. I would have scratched my head
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 7: a little bit.
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 5: Hmm.
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 7: You know, I mean, in general, I mean, you know,
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 7: I bought a table and Because I'm obligated to buy
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 7: a table. You're always welcome to come as my guest
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 7: if you're going to be in New York.
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 8: I appreciate that.
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 7: But I guess it'll be interesting.
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 6: Well, it'll be interesting to hear what he has to say.
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 6: I wanted to ask you also about these revolutionaries and
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 6: if they're able to come to power, what kind of
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 6: government would they form?
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 20: Oh, well, we're going to find out. So I think
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 20: it'll probably be a parliament system. I think they'll get
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 20: some advice from the United States since we were their
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 20: benefactor and helped them. Here's what would be my caution
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 20: if I had a coveted seat in the situation room,
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 20: is I would lay out the very clear history that
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 20: the United States has of blundering when we pick, air.
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 8: Quotes, our guy.
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 20: And so what I would say is, Look, through this revolution,
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 20: I'm sure they've produced their own Thomas Jeffersons, Ben Franklins,
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 20: and George Washingtons.
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 8: In other words, let them pick. Let them do it.
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 20: Self-governance is really sexy and in vogue these days, and
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 20: we'll do a lot better with the future Iranians if
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 20: they're self-governed. and they have their freedom, and they have
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 20: a very friendly United States, always willing to lend a hand.
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 1: And then we.
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 20: Get in return to take that uranium out, investigate it,
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 20: do a forensic analysis to find out where it came
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 20: from in the first place, maybe look at a few documents,
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 20: find out about some shady relationships with the United States.
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 20: I think it could be a very, very good mutual
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 20: win-win relationship, benefit our country, benefit theirs.
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 9: General, do you think that what's really causing the... Desire
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 9: of the president of Iran to try to create a
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 9: deal with Trump is the fact that they saw like
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 9: almost a one and a half percent increase in terms
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 9: of the loss of the value of the real the
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 9: other day. I think it's almost like two point one
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 9: four million real to the U.S.
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 7: Dollar. How did they stay alive that way economically?
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 8: They absolutely don't.
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 20: It's an Armageddon type or a Mad Max economy on
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 20: the ground. It's all black market. You barter, you shift,
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 20: you shape, you try to get some water.
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 11: But the fact of the matter is all the businesses
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 11: are out of business.
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 8: Anybody with any.
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 20: Money whatsoever is probably a bad guy from the revolutionary standpoint.
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 20: You're absolutely right about the the economic factors. But but
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 20: this this guy, Pajewski, and he's like, can't we work
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 20: it out? Because there's two seconds left on his shot
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 20: clock and he's only got a Hail Mary pass and
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 20: it's not going to work. He may find Pajewski is
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 20: a pretty sly one. He may find a way into
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 20: the government, a way into the parliament, kind of like
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 20: a Delce Rodriguez role had in Venezuela. If he's smart,
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 20: that's the deal he'll take. But we're not going to
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 20: know if he took that deal because if that was
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 20: known in Iran, the IRGC would go assassinate him in
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 20: eight seconds.
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 7: You know, I think we should send him that John
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 7: Lennon song, We Can Work It Out, because I think
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 7: that's about the last chance that this guy has when
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 7: he's going to be dealing with Trump on this one.
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 8: Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 7: Where did we go so wrong? Yeah, you could say
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 7: that again.
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 6: Well, it'll be interesting to see if this holds true,
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 6: if the uprising takes place. Awfully interesting to talk to you,
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 6: General Blaine Holt. Thanks for coming on with us.
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 8: Thanks for having me, always. Sure.

• 1:11:19
  Speaker 2: What's up, gentlemen? This is very early for me. I
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 2: bet it is. I'm usually still asleep at this hour,
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 2: but great to be here. How are you guys doing
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 2: this morning?
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 7: We're in the studio, but we're still asleep.
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 6: We're trying to stay awake. What are you doing up
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 6: so late? Why are you staying up so late?
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 2: I'm just always up late. Always been a night owl.
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 2: It gives me time to think without all the mucky
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 2: muck going on in the world. I like it. Nighttime,
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 2: kind of dark.
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 7: You texted me at midnight. I was still up.
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, see? Well, you probably do more productive and
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 2: constructive things. I do. Running businesses, making sure the station's
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 2: running well, and I'm just pretty much wasting time.
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 7: I'm listening to the night. The night guys at night
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 7: to make sure they keep me up. Because the only
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 7: way you get fired at night by not keeping me up,
• 1:12:11
  Speaker 7: by making me so bored that I fall asleep.
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 2: Oh, geez.
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 7: That's good to know on a Sunday night. Yeah, don't
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 7: make me fall asleep on Sunday night.
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 2: Oh, no, no.
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 6: I want to write out of the box because I
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 6: know you worked down the hall from Howard Stern when
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 6: you were at CIS all those years ago. And what
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 6: a crazy summer it's been. For all the news around Howard,
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 6: what do you make of all the layoffs, him doing
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 6: just one show a week, now he's got this deal
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 6: with HBO where they're going to broadcast some of his
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 6: radio show?
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, good for him, I guess. We were
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 2: obviously never friends over the course of our careers together.
• 1:12:51
  Speaker 2: We knocked heads a lot during the old FM radio
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 2: days when he was at KROQ and we were at NBC,
• 1:12:59
  Speaker 2: or WNEW, sorry, NBC. And, uh, you know, he got older. Look,
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 2: you gotta change your act a little bit. I mean,
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 2: if he was still throwing bologna slices on naked women
• 1:13:12
  Speaker 2: in his studio at 72 years old, it could be
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 2: an issue. I don't think people would really, uh, it's
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 2: called creepy.
• 1:13:19
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 1:13:19
  Speaker 7: I think I'd still watch it. You'd still watch that?
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 7: Is that the Howard? I would still listen and watch.
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 2: So, but, uh, you know, going down to one day
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 2: a week and, uh, Now he's got this HBO deal.
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 2: He fired a lot of people there. I mean, it
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 2: seems like the natural course. The thing is, he made
• 1:13:40
  Speaker 2: his career saying a lot of things about other radio people,
• 1:13:43
  Speaker 2: especially Don Imus over the course of the years. And
• 1:13:47
  Speaker 2: I think what he's become now is way worse than
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 2: Don Imus was as far as Howard, when he used
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 2: to call him old and out of touch and irrelevant.
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 2: And I think that's kind of the road that Howard's
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 2: been on for quite a few years lately. But look,
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 2: he's still doing it. Locked in his house somewhere. He
• 1:14:11
  Speaker 2: came out the other day. It was like Groundhog Day.
• 1:14:13
  Speaker 2: Everyone was taking pictures of him. A Bigfoot sighting. He
• 1:14:17
  Speaker 2: looked terrible, by the way.
• 1:14:19
  Speaker 10: He did.
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 2: He looked like a turtle without a shell on it.
• 1:14:23
  Speaker 9: I guess like some members of our Congress, sometimes it's
• 1:14:25
  Speaker 9: time just to hang up the shoes, right?
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 1: Oh, if only.
• 1:14:29
  Speaker 2: I was surprised.
• 1:14:30
  Speaker 6: Why did Beth let him out of the house looking so...
• 1:14:33
  Speaker 6: I mean, he was wearing these glasses that were kind
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 6: of ill-fitting. I don't know if he has a wig,
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 6: but his hair looked kind of strange. And he just looked.
• 1:14:40
  Speaker 7: He looked old.
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 6: He looked older than he actually is.
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know if that's a wig either. Over
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 2: the course of the years, a lot of people have
• 1:14:47
  Speaker 2: speculated if he's wearing a wig, it kind of looks
• 1:14:50
  Speaker 2: like one, but why would you... go out with that
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 2: wig on. It looks like a female impersonator from Vegas
• 1:14:57
  Speaker 2: back in the 60s.
• 1:14:58
  Speaker 6: I was thinking he looked like his mom, actually, which
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 6: would make sense.
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 2: Oh, God.
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 6: You know, I know Michael wanted to ask you about
• 1:15:09
  Speaker 6: more serious stuff.
• 1:15:10
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I wanted to. I mean, I thought we were
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 7: going to do a serious show here, you know, not
• 1:15:15
  Speaker 7: talking necessarily about Howard. I wanted to ask you your
• 1:15:20
  Speaker 7: opinion about On somebody who I actually had gotten to
• 1:15:24
  Speaker 7: know over the years, Eric Swalwell.
• 1:15:27
  Speaker 2: Oh, God, yeah.
• 1:15:27
  Speaker 9: Yeah, and I wanted to get your take on it because, look,
• 1:15:32
  Speaker 9: I get it. You know, he did definitely things that
• 1:15:37
  Speaker 9: were wrong, but the thing that I'm most curious about
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 9: is he received funds from a Chinese spy. And I'm
• 1:15:47
  Speaker 9: wondering how come it took so long before this information
• 1:15:51
  Speaker 9: finally came out, and now that it's out, now that
• 1:15:54
  Speaker 9: it's out, how come Republicans aren't even really capitalizing on it?
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 2: I think they already look at him as a downed
• 1:16:02
  Speaker 2: soldier for the left, for the Democrats. I'm amazed it
• 1:16:07
  Speaker 2: took the alleged sexual misconduct... to drive him out instead of, yeah,
• 1:16:15
  Speaker 2: being with a Chinese spy. There's proof that he took
• 1:16:19
  Speaker 2: money from China. And like Al Capone getting caught on
• 1:16:25
  Speaker 2: tax evasion, none of that was relevant. Everybody said, well,
• 1:16:29
  Speaker 2: nothing really happened. And it took some sexual allegations, which
• 1:16:34
  Speaker 2: in this country seems to be the thing that gets
• 1:16:37
  Speaker 2: people thrown out of office or fired from jobs and whatnot.
• 1:16:41
  Speaker 2: But I, I personally just don't appreciate the hypocrisy, uh,
• 1:16:47
  Speaker 2: with him. Tell us more over, over the course of
• 1:16:51
  Speaker 2: the years, he has, uh, jumped on that bandwagon with
• 1:16:55
  Speaker 2: Trump and the alleged sexual misconduct and, uh, the law
• 1:17:00
  Speaker 2: fair that has been put against, uh, president Trump over
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 2: the course of the years. And, uh, he's been the cheerleader,
• 1:17:07
  Speaker 2: you know, right up there facing the camera, uh, spreading
• 1:17:12
  Speaker 2: all those vicious lies about Trump. And then when it
• 1:17:17
  Speaker 2: hits him, he's got excuses. The Democrats kind of rallied
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 2: around him a little bit. I think he's been thrown
• 1:17:25
  Speaker 2: to the wayside, though, for the most part. I mean,
• 1:17:27
  Speaker 2: wasn't he a contender for 2028?
• 1:17:29
  Speaker 8: He was.
• 1:17:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 2: And now he's a footnote in political history. I don't
• 1:17:37
  Speaker 2: think he's got any type of a career left. Um, what,
• 1:17:41
  Speaker 2: what do you think about him?
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 9: Well, I think he's in his mind, maybe thinking that
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 9: there is a possibility of a comeback. I don't see
• 1:17:49
  Speaker 9: it either, but I'm with you on that as it
• 1:17:52
  Speaker 9: relates to the hypocrisy. You know, I had president Trump
• 1:17:55
  Speaker 9: on my show when, you know, you know, the other day.
• 1:17:58
  Speaker 9: And one of the things that he talked about is
• 1:18:00
  Speaker 9: there's really two people that have had lawfare and the
• 1:18:03
  Speaker 9: weaponization of department of justice in thrown against them like
• 1:18:07
  Speaker 9: never ever before seen in U.S.
• 1:18:10
  Speaker 10: History.
• 1:18:11
  Speaker 9: Him, of course, referring to both himself and me. And
• 1:18:15
  Speaker 9: I got to tell you, I'm with you on that
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 9: on the hypocrisy part. First of all, the guy had
• 1:18:20
  Speaker 9: to have known that this Christine Fang, who was known
• 1:18:23
  Speaker 9: as Fang Fang. I mean, anybody by the name of
• 1:18:26
  Speaker 9: Fang Fang that sends you money, you really got to
• 1:18:29
  Speaker 9: think twice, twice, right? I mean, to me, it doesn't
• 1:18:33
  Speaker 9: make any sense at all. And then they're funneling money
• 1:18:36
  Speaker 9: to your campaign. And you think you're not going to
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 9: get caught. And then you're having all of these sexual relationships.
• 1:18:42
  Speaker 9: And yet you're standing in front of the American people.
• 1:18:46
  Speaker 9: during an impeachment trial talking about how the person the
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 9: defendant in that case is guilty It's hard to imagine
• 1:18:55
  Speaker 9: that somebody can be so, I don't know, what's the word,
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 9: feckless in their thought process, that they can go ahead,
• 1:19:03
  Speaker 9: talk to somebody else knowing that they did worse, that
• 1:19:09
  Speaker 9: they have done what they are accusing the other person of.
• 1:19:12
  Speaker 9: I just find it, as you do, hypocrisy to the max.
• 1:19:17
  Speaker 2: You know what though, Michael? You look at what has
• 1:19:20
  Speaker 2: transpired over the course of the years with especially the Democrats.
• 1:19:24
  Speaker 2: I hate to try to be so, uh, or, or
• 1:19:26
  Speaker 2: to be so, so partisan here, but especially with the Democrats,
• 1:19:30
  Speaker 2: if you're someone like Swalwell and you, you, your whole career,
• 1:19:33
  Speaker 2: you've spent watching people getting away with everything. What stops you?
• 1:19:40
  Speaker 2: And he's just one of many that are guilty of things. They, they, uh, uh, fraud, um,
• 1:19:48
  Speaker 2: all types of misconduct, and nothing happens. We see these
• 1:19:53
  Speaker 2: congressional hearings that pop up every so often, and we
• 1:19:56
  Speaker 2: love it. We love the battle. Oh, he nailed him. Oh, boy,
• 1:20:00
  Speaker 2: that guy's in trouble. And nothing comes of it. So
• 1:20:04
  Speaker 2: why wouldn't you, as a politician, a young guy, go
• 1:20:08
  Speaker 2: out there and reap the benefits of political office, even
• 1:20:14
  Speaker 2: if you're at the very least skirting.
• 1:20:17
  Speaker 7: Some of the rules?
• 1:20:18
  Speaker 2: And as far as lawfare goes, you see what's been
• 1:20:22
  Speaker 2: happening with, who's that, Letitia James? Yep. And the fact
• 1:20:27
  Speaker 2: that they're looking into the cases that she brought against
• 1:20:31
  Speaker 2: Donald Trump in New York, and that it all turns
• 1:20:35
  Speaker 2: out to be crap. Look, it's all BS.
• 1:20:38
  Speaker 9: Look, Anthony, you know I was the key witness subpoenaed
• 1:20:42
  Speaker 9: in that case to justify. And one of the things
• 1:20:45
  Speaker 9: that I had said from the very, very inception... as
• 1:20:49
  Speaker 9: a subpoenaed witness, I will come there and I will speak.
• 1:20:53
  Speaker 9: And they had all the documentation. They also had all
• 1:20:56
  Speaker 9: of the, corroborating testimony that they needed. The real question
• 1:21:01
  Speaker 9: here was whether or not that case should have been
• 1:21:04
  Speaker 9: brought in the first place, especially by an individual whose
• 1:21:08
  Speaker 9: campaign platform was designed within which to go after and
• 1:21:13
  Speaker 9: to target one individual. And I don't care that that
• 1:21:16
  Speaker 9: individual is Donald Trump, whether you like the guy or
• 1:21:20
  Speaker 9: you hate the guy, completely irrelevant. No politician, especially not
• 1:21:25
  Speaker 9: a DA or an attorney general, should ever go ahead
• 1:21:28
  Speaker 9: and make their campaign platform about targeting a U.S. citizen,
• 1:21:33
  Speaker 9: a civilian, or somebody who has political aspiration.
• 1:21:37
  Speaker 2: Oh, my God. Amen. I mean, you look at her campaign,
• 1:21:42
  Speaker 2: and it was based on, don't worry, we'll find a crime.
• 1:21:46
  Speaker 2: And that is not the job of Letitia James to...
• 1:21:52
  Speaker 2: get out there and say, oh, you don't like this guy? Well,
• 1:21:55
  Speaker 2: we'll stick something on him. And again, you have so
• 1:21:59
  Speaker 2: many people in politics, DAs, judges, that are ready, willing,
• 1:22:05
  Speaker 2: and able to put on their activist hat and go
• 1:22:09
  Speaker 2: after people. They say that both sides do the same thing.
• 1:22:14
  Speaker 2: I don't agree with that. I think we've seen a
• 1:22:17
  Speaker 2: lot more justice come out of Judges that were appointed
• 1:22:20
  Speaker 2: by Republicans and by Trump. Then we have judges that
• 1:22:27
  Speaker 2: Soros paid for and that these Democrats who we've seen,
• 1:22:31
  Speaker 2: they don't like the Constitution. when it comes to people
• 1:22:37
  Speaker 2: that they disagree with.
• 1:22:40
  Speaker 9: Right, but Anthony, even if they do, even if they
• 1:22:42
  Speaker 9: do have it on both sides of the aisle, I
• 1:22:45
  Speaker 9: take that as you do, with a grain of salt.
• 1:22:49
  Speaker 9: I'm specifically talking about President Trump. When I turned around
• 1:22:54
  Speaker 9: and I wrote that I felt compelled and pressured, I
• 1:22:57
  Speaker 9: was subpoenaed. The left went absolutely batshit crazy... They went
• 1:23:03
  Speaker 9: nuts beyond nuts. They didn't know what to do. I
• 1:23:06
  Speaker 9: became canceled. They started attacking me left and right. I
• 1:23:10
  Speaker 9: still get attacked every single day. The fact that you
• 1:23:14
  Speaker 9: and I put out that little clip about the two
• 1:23:16
  Speaker 9: of us going to be on the air together today
• 1:23:18
  Speaker 9: and so on. If I show you the hate mail
• 1:23:20
  Speaker 9: that I got, for what reason? Because I'm on radio,
• 1:23:24
  Speaker 9: thanks to John Katsimatidis and WABC, that I'm speaking truth,
• 1:23:30
  Speaker 9: that the truth doesn't comport to what they want it
• 1:23:33
  Speaker 9: to be. The fact that I felt that I have emotions,
• 1:23:37
  Speaker 9: that this is something that they find so atrocious that
• 1:23:42
  Speaker 9: they what?
• 1:23:42
  Speaker 7: That they need to.
• 1:23:44
  Speaker 9: hit me with every four-letter word that they can possibly
• 1:23:47
  Speaker 9: muster in a 250-character text?
• 1:23:50
  Speaker 2: Michael, Michael, Michael, welcome to radio. This is adorable.
• 1:23:56
  Speaker 7: I love listening to this.
• 1:23:58
  Speaker 2: Adorable. You know what, Anthony?
• 1:24:00
  Speaker 7: Now I really don't like the adorable. This is not
• 1:24:03
  Speaker 7: an adorable.
• 1:24:04
  Speaker 2: This has been my entire life on the air. This
• 1:24:08
  Speaker 2: is what it means.
• 1:24:09
  Speaker 7: But I understand why people don't like radio hosts.
• 1:24:12
  Speaker 2: Congratulations. It means, it means you're popular.
• 1:24:16
  Speaker 7: My, I understand why people don't like you.
• 1:24:18
  Speaker 8: Me.
• 1:24:18
  Speaker 2: I am adorable.
• 1:24:20
  Speaker 6: Do you read that nonsense anymore? Just stop reading all that.
• 1:24:23
  Speaker 2: There are some things I read, you know, I'm active
• 1:24:26
  Speaker 2: on social media platforms and whatnot, but, uh, Things like
• 1:24:30
  Speaker 2: you really dig deep into Reddit and some of the
• 1:24:32
  Speaker 2: other places that are just pure toxicity. You do not
• 1:24:37
  Speaker 2: want to go there. I'll take people disagreeing with me
• 1:24:40
  Speaker 2: and even throwing names, name-calling and things like that. It's
• 1:24:44
  Speaker 2: part and parcel of being a person that's on the air,
• 1:24:48
  Speaker 2: that people listen to, and you give your opinions, and
• 1:24:52
  Speaker 2: you're going to get it back, man. And everything you've
• 1:24:55
  Speaker 2: ever done in your life... is now out there for
• 1:24:59
  Speaker 2: them to use as fuel and fire to throw upon you, Michael.
• 1:25:03
  Speaker 6: Yeah, you know, it's amazing. You should do this, Michael,
• 1:25:05
  Speaker 6: once in a while. I do this too often. Someone
• 1:25:07
  Speaker 6: will write something really horrible, and so I'll go look
• 1:25:10
  Speaker 6: and see who they are, And you'll find them, and
• 1:25:12
  Speaker 6: it'll be a picture of them holding their grandchild. This
• 1:25:15
  Speaker 6: is the same individual who's writing these horrible things to me.
• 1:25:18
  Speaker 7: Well, I start looking up the people, and then I
• 1:25:20
  Speaker 7: go to their profile. Look, I'm freaking nuts. So let
• 1:25:23
  Speaker 7: me be crystal clear.
• 1:25:24
  Speaker 2: I am nuts.
• 1:25:25
  Speaker 7: And that's why I'm up when I do at night.
• 1:25:28
  Speaker 7: Like at 4 o'clock, 5 o'clock, I start doom-scrolling myself.
• 1:25:31
  Speaker 7: So I go ahead, and I start looking. And for
• 1:25:34
  Speaker 7: whatever the reason may be, I go to the profile,
• 1:25:36
  Speaker 7: and almost unanimously, they're Christian. They are Second Amendment people.
• 1:25:42
  Speaker 7: I don't know why, but they always have some form
• 1:25:45
  Speaker 7: of a Christian proverb that's in there. So I turn
• 1:25:49
  Speaker 7: around and I go, and God bless you.
• 1:25:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's about all you can do. Yeah, yeah. Don't engage.
• 1:25:56
  Speaker 2: That's the worst thing you could do.
• 1:25:59
  Speaker 6: I love that you're up at 4 in the morning
• 1:26:02
  Speaker 6: reading all that nonsense.
• 1:26:03
  Speaker 9: Well, what I also do is I take snapshots of them.
• 1:26:05
  Speaker 9: I send them to Kevin, my executive producer. And I
• 1:26:08
  Speaker 9: created a whole segment on my show, on my Sunday show,
• 1:26:12
  Speaker 9: called Michael's Mailbag, where I actually read it. It's almost
• 1:26:15
  Speaker 9: like when I was on Charlemagne's show and they have
• 1:26:18
  Speaker 9: mean tweets. I actually go ahead and I read it.
• 1:26:21
  Speaker 9: And I call them out. There's something with these people.
• 1:26:26
  Speaker 9: It's a significant amount of homophobia. They say some of
• 1:26:30
  Speaker 9: the most vile things, not just about me, but my family.
• 1:26:34
  Speaker 9: And I can't understand having, I can't understand waking up
• 1:26:38
  Speaker 9: first thing in the morning, reading that Michael Cohen is
• 1:26:41
  Speaker 9: going to be on WABC, taking over for Sid. And
• 1:26:46
  Speaker 9: that is enough to trigger them to write something as
• 1:26:49
  Speaker 9: hateful as they do. There's something, I think, really mentally
• 1:26:52
  Speaker 9: wrong with them.
• 1:26:54
  Speaker 6: What do they write? You got one right in front
• 1:26:56
  Speaker 6: of you?
• 1:26:56
  Speaker 7: Oh, of course I do. Now I'm curious. Oh, no,
• 1:26:59
  Speaker 7: you jest, don't you? And I do have to be
• 1:27:02
  Speaker 7: careful here.
• 1:27:03
  Speaker 8: Right.
• 1:27:03
  Speaker 9: So I have this one guy named Edward Robson who
• 1:27:06
  Speaker 9: goes ahead and writes. The fact that, again, and I'm
• 1:27:08
  Speaker 9: going to take a very clean one here.
• 1:27:10
  Speaker 2: Sure.
• 1:27:11
  Speaker 9: So, folks, trust me, you're going to hear it on
• 1:27:13
  Speaker 9: my show where I actually don't. But Edward Robson turns
• 1:27:16
  Speaker 9: around and he writes, and no one gives an F.
• 1:27:19
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 1:27:20
  Speaker 7: Well, if that's true, why then eight more did you
• 1:27:23
  Speaker 7: write after that? Because then this next one, right? You know,
• 1:27:26
  Speaker 7: what in your defense? You can't be that smart to
• 1:27:29
  Speaker 7: begin with.
• 1:27:30
  Speaker 5: Oh, look.
• 1:27:31
  Speaker 7: Then this is another one. And by the way, it's
• 1:27:33
  Speaker 7: literally all like one hour. They were.
• 1:27:36
  Speaker 9: Two minutes, three minutes, four minutes apart from one another. Oh, look, orange-lipped, well,
• 1:27:42
  Speaker 9: I can't say that word, gobbler, Michael Cohen did stupid
• 1:27:45
  Speaker 9: S today, and no one gives an F. I mean,
• 1:27:49
  Speaker 9: this guy goes on and on. Well, I understand I'm
• 1:27:53
  Speaker 9: not relevant to you in your life, but to have
• 1:27:55
  Speaker 9: nine posts, Edward, makes absolutely no sense. There's something seriously
• 1:28:00
  Speaker 9: wrong with you.
• 1:28:02
  Speaker 2: You know what it is also? It's the access that
• 1:28:05
  Speaker 2: people have to people. This never used to happen. You
• 1:28:09
  Speaker 2: used to have to send a letter to the radio station,
• 1:28:12
  Speaker 2: care of WABC Radio. Michael Cohen, and you'd have to
• 1:28:17
  Speaker 2: open the letter, read it. Now everyone has instant access.
• 1:28:22
  Speaker 2: Do you think Clark Gable ever had to read something
• 1:28:25
  Speaker 2: that said, you suck, gone with the wind blows? It's
• 1:28:30
  Speaker 2: too long.
• 1:28:31
  Speaker 7: Yeah, it's too long.
• 1:28:33
  Speaker 2: That was back in a day when agents, managers, publicists,
• 1:28:41
  Speaker 2: they read everything. I don't even think the celebrities were
• 1:28:44
  Speaker 2: touched by that stuff. Now everyone has access and everyone
• 1:28:49
  Speaker 2: has opinion.
• 1:28:49
  Speaker 9: So am I supposed to now blame this on Chad? John,
• 1:28:52
  Speaker 9: Chad should be protecting me.
• 1:28:53
  Speaker 2: Protection. I need protection.
• 1:28:56
  Speaker 7: I'm enjoying this conversation between the.
• 1:28:58
  Speaker 2: Two of you.
• 1:28:59
  Speaker 7: I need protection. I may have to go to the streets.
• 1:29:03
  Speaker 7: By the way, her security just texted us that Kelly
• 1:29:07
  Speaker 7: LaFleur will be here at 9.05.

  Speaker 6: Looking for that. Hold on, Anthony, because we've got more
• 1:29:12
  Speaker 6: we want to talk to you about.
• 1:29:13
  Speaker 7: Yes, we want to talk more to Anthony.

  Speaker 1: Traffic in transit.
• 1:30:33
  Speaker 13: Well, from the Apple Bank traffic desk, if you're traveling
• 1:30:35
  Speaker 13: outbound on the Long Island Expressway, getting in through Springfield Boulevard,
• 1:30:38
  Speaker 13: there is a disabled trucker. There was one there in
• 1:30:40
  Speaker 13: the right lane. And that is causing delays now as
• 1:30:43
  Speaker 13: you travel outbound. A lot of heavy traffic in the
• 1:30:45
  Speaker 13: eastern part of Queens getting into Nassau County. Also, as
• 1:30:48
  Speaker 13: you travel inbound, You're slow from about the Van Wyk
• 1:30:51
  Speaker 13: right on in through to the BQE. If you're inbound
• 1:30:54
  Speaker 13: on the Gowanus BQE, 65th Street to the Brooklyn Bridge,
• 1:30:57
  Speaker 13: a lot of slow traffic both ways on the Belt Parkway,
• 1:31:00
  Speaker 13: but that isn't really too much out of the ordinary. Now,
• 1:31:02
  Speaker 13: if you're on the southern state, on the westbound side,
• 1:31:04
  Speaker 13: coming into Wellwood Avenue, bumper-to-bumper traffic, there had been a
• 1:31:08
  Speaker 13: collision there, one lane out, and then also just pretty
• 1:31:11
  Speaker 13: much stop and go once you get west of the
• 1:31:13
  Speaker 13: Seaford Oyster Bay all the way on into the Meadowbrook Parkway.
• 1:31:17
  Speaker 13: And then over in New Jersey, as you travel out
• 1:31:19
  Speaker 13: onto the northbound Garden State Parkway, lots of volume this
• 1:31:21
  Speaker 13: morning getting through Union County. And then as you head
• 1:31:24
  Speaker 13: northbound away from I-78, almost all the way up to
• 1:31:28
  Speaker 13: Route 3.
• 1:31:28

  Speaker 3: Friends in the Morning.
• 1:33:43
  Speaker 5: 77 WABC.
• 1:33:52
  Speaker 6: It's Sid and Friends on a Tuesday morning. Sid's not here,
• 1:33:55
  Speaker 6: but don't worry, he'll be back tomorrow, coming back from
• 1:33:57
  Speaker 6: Las Vegas. No doubt we'll have a lot to say
• 1:33:59
  Speaker 6: about his speaking engagement there in front of a Republican
• 1:34:03
  Speaker 6: Jewish organization. With us in the studio filling in, though,
• 1:34:08
  Speaker 6: and I think doing quite well, we've got Michael Cohen,
• 1:34:10
  Speaker 6: John Katsimatidis, me, Noam, and Anthony Cumia. And Anthony, I
• 1:34:14
  Speaker 6: don't know about you, but sometimes I get obsessed with
• 1:34:17
  Speaker 6: some of these stupid trials, and I'll watch them on
• 1:34:19
  Speaker 6: TV or in TikTok form, more likely. And this one
• 1:34:22
  Speaker 6: that I've been kind of obsessed with lately is the
• 1:34:25
  Speaker 6: Lindsay Clancy murder trial. This is the mom who deliberately
• 1:34:28
  Speaker 6: killed her three children. She stabbed them. Have you been
• 1:34:31
  Speaker 6: watching this?
• 1:34:32
  Speaker 2: Yes, she has strangled them. It's a horrible, horrible story.
• 1:34:37
  Speaker 2: But I think what really gave this story traction is
• 1:34:39
  Speaker 2: the support. that she's getting from women, from mothers who
• 1:34:43
  Speaker 2: have come out, protested, I guess, or demonstrated on her behalf,
• 1:34:49
  Speaker 2: holding their kids. This woman killed her three kids, but
• 1:34:52
  Speaker 2: the defense is trying to get some type of insanity
• 1:34:55
  Speaker 2: plea that she was on prescription drugs that were given
• 1:34:59
  Speaker 2: to her by doctors who obviously didn't know what they
• 1:35:03
  Speaker 2: were doing. She had medical and mental problems. And the
• 1:35:08
  Speaker 2: way these women are rallying around her. Look, you can
• 1:35:11
  Speaker 2: support the fact that the pharmaceutical industry isn't your your
• 1:35:17
  Speaker 2: best health isn't in there. The top of what they're
• 1:35:21
  Speaker 2: trying to do. But you don't have to support a
• 1:35:25
  Speaker 2: murderer in order to point out that there are some
• 1:35:29
  Speaker 2: issues with mental health. and the pharmaceutical industry in this country,
• 1:35:34
  Speaker 2: but there they are, the usual suspects. We see them
• 1:35:38
  Speaker 2: a lot at LGBTQ demonstrations and BLM demonstrations. They're just
• 1:35:46
  Speaker 2: the usual suspects of lunatics. They're mental patients, and they're
• 1:35:52
  Speaker 2: out there cheering on a woman that murdered three of
• 1:35:55
  Speaker 2: her children.
• 1:35:55
  Speaker 6: Yeah, and she claims, right, she was in this state
• 1:35:58
  Speaker 6: of psychosis that started this whole thing but i would
• 1:36:01
  Speaker 6: think that they have to be in your brain already
• 1:36:03
  Speaker 6: you know other people been in psychosis they haven't killed
• 1:36:06
  Speaker 6: anybody and then to take your own three children i
• 1:36:11
  Speaker 6: just i'm not buying this whole argument.
• 1:36:13
  Speaker 2: I don't know i'm from the school of thought that
• 1:36:15
  Speaker 2: if you murder anybody you know maybe if you walk
• 1:36:18
  Speaker 2: in you know the old walk in on your your
• 1:36:21
  Speaker 2: wife uh with another guy and you just lose your mind.
• 1:36:25
  Speaker 2: There you go. You lose your mind. That's one thing.
• 1:36:29
  Speaker 2: But if you just, if you murder your kids or
• 1:36:32
  Speaker 2: you just randomly murder people on the street, what have you, yeah,
• 1:36:35
  Speaker 2: you're insane. That's not an excuse to get you off
• 1:36:39
  Speaker 2: the hook. And the people have been saying with this
• 1:36:44
  Speaker 2: case that, well, even if the defense works, she's going
• 1:36:47
  Speaker 2: to be in a mental institution for years and years.
• 1:36:51
  Speaker 2: It's like, yeah, but they let people out of those things.
• 1:36:54
  Speaker 2: We see what John Hinckley he's walking around. He's he's painting.
• 1:36:59
  Speaker 2: He's selling his paintings. He's making music on on social media.
• 1:37:03
  Speaker 6: Have you ever listened to any of that music?
• 1:37:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's not good. He's trying to be Bob Dylan,
• 1:37:08
  Speaker 2: but it's really bad.
• 1:37:09
  Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah.
• 1:37:10
  Speaker 2: Bob Killen. Right.
• 1:37:13
  Speaker 7: He's not good. I'll tell you that.
• 1:37:16
  Speaker 2: But you know what it is? They put him in
• 1:37:18
  Speaker 2: these hospitals and... The doctors, the money that goes to
• 1:37:22
  Speaker 2: these institutions, they want results. And the only results is, hey,
• 1:37:26
  Speaker 2: we cured somebody. They can't just lock them up. That's
• 1:37:29
  Speaker 2: called prison, which is where they should be. But when
• 1:37:32
  Speaker 2: they put them in these hospitals, they end up saying, well,
• 1:37:35
  Speaker 2: we did a great job. This person is no longer
• 1:37:38
  Speaker 2: a danger. And they put them back out there to
• 1:37:41
  Speaker 2: perhaps hit you over the head with a pipe or
• 1:37:42
  Speaker 2: push you in front of a subway. So, yeah, I'm
• 1:37:45
  Speaker 2: not for that. I think regardless of what the verdict
• 1:37:50
  Speaker 2: is with this woman, she should never see the free
• 1:37:53
  Speaker 2: light of day.
• 1:37:54
  Speaker 6: Well, you know, I was looking at this jury. So
• 1:37:56
  Speaker 6: now we're on day four. So you're already wondering, like,
• 1:37:58
  Speaker 6: what the hell is taking so long? And it's on
• 1:38:00
  Speaker 6: nine women and three men. So you would think that
• 1:38:04
  Speaker 6: would work out well for Lindsay Clancy in the end.
• 1:38:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah. I read something, too, that some of the
• 1:38:09
  Speaker 2: women on the jury were wearing pink when they came in.
• 1:38:13
  Speaker 2: which a lot of the supporters, the women that are supporters,
• 1:38:16
  Speaker 2: wear pink, which would, I think, be a problem. But yeah, boy,
• 1:38:21
  Speaker 2: when you're picking a jury, if you're her attorney and
• 1:38:25
  Speaker 2: you get a majority woman jury in there, you've done
• 1:38:28
  Speaker 2: your job. That's That is for sure. I don't feel
• 1:38:32
  Speaker 2: trial of the century material here. This is one of
• 1:38:36
  Speaker 2: those things. All right. It's interesting. But since OJ, people
• 1:38:42
  Speaker 2: have been very interested in. trial television shows, legal shows.
• 1:38:47
  Speaker 2: These murder shows are huge. Women love these things. You
• 1:38:52
  Speaker 2: go to a hotel, if you have your wife or
• 1:38:54
  Speaker 2: girlfriend with you, you come back and all she's watching
• 1:38:57
  Speaker 2: is murder, death, and mayhem. It's crazy. They love them.
• 1:39:01
  Speaker 2: You're like, what are you, what are you getting a
• 1:39:03
  Speaker 2: few ideas for? Should I be worried?
• 1:39:05
  Speaker 6: Well, and they're unearthing these cases that, you know, nine
• 1:39:08
  Speaker 6: episodes where they lay out exactly how they carried out
• 1:39:11
  Speaker 6: this horrific crime.
• 1:39:12
  Speaker 9: Well, you don't have to worry anymore because Nancy Grace
• 1:39:14
  Speaker 9: is now up in space taking a look at the stars.
• 1:39:19
  Speaker 1: Wait, I hear this.
• 1:39:19
  Speaker 2: Where is she?
• 1:39:21
  Speaker 9: There's a new telescope that just went up, which is
• 1:39:24
  Speaker 9: Nancy Grace. It was Nancy Grace, then I forget the
• 1:39:27
  Speaker 9: last name.
• 1:39:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that gave me a head turn real quick.
• 1:39:31
  Speaker 7: You and I both, all of a sudden, like, wait,
• 1:39:33
  Speaker 7: Nancy Grace is now going to space?
• 1:39:36
  Speaker 2: A bombshell today.
• 1:39:38
  Speaker 7: Who's going to turn around and now report on cases
• 1:39:42
  Speaker 7: like Lindsay Clancy?
• 1:39:44
  Speaker 2: Well, I'm up in space now in a bombshell report. Oh,
• 1:39:50
  Speaker 2: she is the worst.
• 1:39:52
  Speaker 6: But I will have to say this because someone's going
• 1:39:54
  Speaker 6: to call me out later. I worked on that show.
• 1:39:56
  Speaker 6: I was a correspondent for a while. Oh, he says
• 1:39:59
  Speaker 6: a lot.
• 1:40:00
  Speaker 8: Now I get it.
• 1:40:01
  Speaker 6: She'd be like, no, I'm lying. What do you think?
• 1:40:04
  Speaker 6: You know what I'm saying? I've covered, like, every crazy
• 1:40:07
  Speaker 6: story out of New York. Somebody who carried their fetus
• 1:40:09
  Speaker 6: around in a purse and went shopping that day.
• 1:40:11
  Speaker 7: And then you're going to get what she's doing, the
• 1:40:14
  Speaker 7: Bob Dylan thing. One other thing.
• 1:40:19
  Speaker 6: I want to ask you, too, that I saw, the governor,
• 1:40:24
  Speaker 6: of course, Governor Hochul. She's in this tough battle with
• 1:40:28
  Speaker 6: Bruce Blakeman. The polls show her up like 8-10 points with,
• 1:40:31
  Speaker 6: what are we, 10 weeks to go until Election Day.
• 1:40:34
  Speaker 6: So Bruce has got a lot to make up between
• 1:40:36
  Speaker 6: now and then if he wants to win this thing.
• 1:40:38
  Speaker 6: So over the weekend, here we are, we're 10 days
• 1:40:42
  Speaker 6: away from the 25th anniversary of the 9-11 attacks. And
• 1:40:45
  Speaker 6: she shows up over the weekend wearing this headscarf as
• 1:40:49
  Speaker 6: she visits the Islamic Center, Cultural Center of New York
• 1:40:54
  Speaker 6: in Queens. And I just thought, timing seemed to me.
• 1:40:58
  Speaker 2: It really is insulting is what it is looking at
• 1:41:02
  Speaker 2: you know where america we love our freedoms and freedom
• 1:41:06
  Speaker 2: of religion of course is a cornerstone of uh... this
• 1:41:10
  Speaker 2: country but i mean have some tact it's not your
• 1:41:14
  Speaker 2: religion uh... kathy hokal and to put on a headscarf
• 1:41:19
  Speaker 2: first of all why uh... people aren't required to put
• 1:41:23
  Speaker 2: on other religious garb when they address certain religious groups.
• 1:41:28
  Speaker 2: Why is that a thing? It's a thing because in Islam,
• 1:41:33
  Speaker 2: women are second-class citizens and men tell them what to do.
• 1:41:37
  Speaker 2: And a woman cannot speak in a room full of
• 1:41:40
  Speaker 2: men without her head covered. And for some reason, feminists,
• 1:41:44
  Speaker 2: you know, people that are all rah-rah about women's rights,
• 1:41:48
  Speaker 2: they have no qualms about kowtowing to men in a
• 1:41:53
  Speaker 2: religion who that tell them to do things. And I
• 1:41:57
  Speaker 2: love it when they say, oh, it's empowering to wear
• 1:42:00
  Speaker 2: a hajib. It's empowering. Is it? It's like the women
• 1:42:03
  Speaker 2: that say it's empowering to go on OnlyFans and take
• 1:42:07
  Speaker 2: their clothes off. It's like, no, it's not empowering. It's embarrassing.
• 1:42:12
  Speaker 2: And you're doing something that shows that you're weak. And again,
• 1:42:20
  Speaker 2: so close to the 25th anniversary of 9-11. It's just bad.
• 1:42:26
  Speaker 2: It's in bad taste.
• 1:42:27
  Speaker 6: And it's this 9-11 ceremony, right? So now you've got her.
• 1:42:30
  Speaker 6: She's going to be there. You've got Mayor Mom Donnie.
• 1:42:33
  Speaker 6: He's not backing down. It doesn't matter if a million
• 1:42:37
  Speaker 6: people sign that petition to ask him to stay away.
• 1:42:40
  Speaker 6: He's going to show up, right? He's the sitting mayor
• 1:42:42
  Speaker 6: of New York City. He has the right to be there.
• 1:42:44
  Speaker 6: You think about this lineup, right, of the newbies. I'm
• 1:42:47
  Speaker 6: not talking about the people who were there, of course,
• 1:42:48
  Speaker 6: during the attacks. He did an amazing job. But, uh,
• 1:42:51
  Speaker 6: there they are. And I feel like it's so insulting
• 1:42:55
  Speaker 6: to these families who just want to have the ceremony
• 1:42:58
  Speaker 6: that's free of politics and that's not going to happen.
• 1:43:00
  Speaker 2: No, it's one of those things, you know, when, when
• 1:43:04
  Speaker 2: obviously nine 11 happened back in, uh, 2001, uh, and
• 1:43:10
  Speaker 2: then the subsequent anniversaries, the first year anniversary, very somber, very, um,
• 1:43:16
  Speaker 2: sad uh event and then the five-year anniversary and i
• 1:43:20
  Speaker 2: would think i i would say to myself what is
• 1:43:22
  Speaker 2: 25 years gonna look like uh i thought this many
• 1:43:26
  Speaker 2: many years ago will people forget you know never forget
• 1:43:30
  Speaker 2: and i never in my wildest hallucinations could i have
• 1:43:35
  Speaker 2: imagined a zoran memdani being the mayor of New York City.
• 1:43:40
  Speaker 7: On the 25th anniversary of 9-11.
• 1:43:43
  Speaker 2: Right, right. I wouldn't have called that one in a
• 1:43:47
  Speaker 2: thousand years, but here we are. And I think, you know,
• 1:43:52
  Speaker 2: I guess people do either forget, or when enough years
• 1:43:55
  Speaker 2: go by, there are people that don't remember in the
• 1:43:58
  Speaker 2: first place, and they're of voting age. They elect people
• 1:44:03
  Speaker 2: like Zoran Mamdani to be mayor of New York.
• 1:44:06
  Speaker 9: Imagine, Anthony, what the spread would have been if you
• 1:44:10
  Speaker 9: had these betting sites years ago, like 10 years ago,
• 1:44:13
  Speaker 9: and you would have bet that moron Mamdani was going
• 1:44:17
  Speaker 9: to be the mayor of New York for the 25th
• 1:44:20
  Speaker 9: anniversary to highlight just the worst day, the worst day
• 1:44:25
  Speaker 9: that I think I can remember in almost my lifetime.
• 1:44:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we all, you know, have that, you know, like
• 1:44:32
  Speaker 2: the older generation when I was a kid remembered where
• 1:44:36
  Speaker 2: they were when they heard Kennedy was shot. And then
• 1:44:39
  Speaker 2: the generation before that remembered Pearl Harbor and where they
• 1:44:42
  Speaker 2: were when they heard that. And we were the generation
• 1:44:45
  Speaker 2: that remembered where we were when 9-11 happened.
• 1:44:49
  Speaker 8: Sure.
• 1:44:49
  Speaker 2: And, you know, those other events earlier in history, yeah,
• 1:44:55
  Speaker 2: I knew about them. I had a sense of how
• 1:44:58
  Speaker 2: people felt. But it wasn't personal. This was personal, especially
• 1:45:03
  Speaker 2: if you were in New York. We couldn't get into
• 1:45:06
  Speaker 2: the studio to do the show. We had to go
• 1:45:08
  Speaker 2: out to Long Island and broadcast from there. And then
• 1:45:12
  Speaker 2: I drove. I lived in Brooklyn. And just driving in,
• 1:45:15
  Speaker 2: you could smell the buildings burning for days and days
• 1:45:20
  Speaker 2: on end. That happened. All the emergency service personnel that
• 1:45:25
  Speaker 2: were being treated like heroes. We see.
• 1:45:28
  Speaker 2: Emergency personnel, first responders being treated like garbage out on
• 1:45:33
  Speaker 2: the streets these days. There were people that were out
• 1:45:36
  Speaker 2: there every day for months on end holding up signs
• 1:45:39
  Speaker 2: as the fire trucks went to and from their stations
• 1:45:43
  Speaker 2: to the pile at Ground Zero to search a recovery
• 1:45:47
  Speaker 2: and cleaning up.
• 1:45:49
  Speaker 6: And that's gone i don't i don't know if that's
• 1:45:52
  Speaker 6: gone let me i i don't know i don't think
• 1:45:54
  Speaker 6: it's gone because if we live through this right and
• 1:45:57
  Speaker 6: so i remember that i remember stopping and applauding the
• 1:45:59
  Speaker 6: flyer trucks and all that but the problem the real
• 1:46:01
  Speaker 6: problem is is there's there are more americans alive now
• 1:46:04
  Speaker 6: who were not around for nine eleven i think that's
• 1:46:06
  Speaker 6: a bigger deal than we we haven't forgotten because we
• 1:46:09
  Speaker 6: live through it but there's more americans now who did
• 1:46:12
  Speaker 6: not live through it and so they related to it
• 1:46:14
  Speaker 6: relate to it maybe in the same way we relate
• 1:46:16
  Speaker 6: to pearl.
• 1:46:16
  Speaker 2: Harbor right right yeah i mean you do have to
• 1:46:20
  Speaker 2: look at it that way it's it's this this is
• 1:46:22
  Speaker 2: personal for us this is our pearl harbor or kennedy
• 1:46:26
  Speaker 2: being shot kind of a thing uh but it it's
• 1:46:30
  Speaker 2: it's just too it's too raw yeah for the people
• 1:46:35
  Speaker 2: that had been there and saw everything and uh the
• 1:46:39
  Speaker 2: the unbelievable loss of life and uh And our way
• 1:46:43
  Speaker 2: of life. I mean, you could draw a line pre-9-11
• 1:46:47
  Speaker 2: and post-9-11. They were starkly different countries to be living in.
• 1:46:53
  Speaker 6: Well, hold on there, Anthony Cumia. We're going to take
• 1:46:56
  Speaker 6: a break here. We have coming up in the next hour,
• 1:46:58
  Speaker 6: Kelly Loeffler. She's, of course, the administrator of the Small
• 1:47:02
  Speaker 6: Business Administration. And a whole lot more to talk. We've
• 1:47:05
  Speaker 6: got a whole other hour to go. Sid's off today.
• 1:47:08
  Speaker 6: He'll be back tomorrow in... is Anthony Cumia, Michael Cohen,
• 1:47:11
  Speaker 6: John Katsimatidis, and me, Noam Layden, right here on 77WABC.
• 1:47:15
  Speaker 4: I could just be everything and everyone to you This
• 1:47:21
  Speaker 4: life would just be so easy Not enough time for
• 1:47:28
  Speaker 4: all that I want for you Not enough time for every.
• 1:47:33
  Speaker 13: Kiss From the Apple Bank traffic desk, again, really not
• 1:47:48
  Speaker 13: a bad day as you begin to travel around. We
• 1:47:50
  Speaker 13: do have some delays, though, coming southbound on the Brooklyn-Queens
• 1:47:53
  Speaker 13: Expressway now. As you start to get down towards the
• 1:47:56
  Speaker 13: area of Metropolitan Avenue, there's a disabled vehicle there in
• 1:47:59
  Speaker 13: the right lane. Then also a car fire on the
• 1:48:02
  Speaker 13: LIE on the outbound side. as you start to get
• 1:48:04
  Speaker 13: in through 48th Street on that lower level. So that's
• 1:48:06
  Speaker 13: slowing people down on the expressway. Also, on the northbound
• 1:48:10
  Speaker 13: side of the Brooklyn-Queens expressway. Further on down on the
• 1:48:12
  Speaker 13: Gowanus-BQE combination, you do have delays in the prospect on
• 1:48:16
  Speaker 13: up to the Brooklyn Bridge. Again, a lot of slow
• 1:48:18
  Speaker 13: traffic down the west side. There was an earlier accident
• 1:48:20
  Speaker 13: up in the 150s. That has now been cleared. If
• 1:48:23
  Speaker 13: you're inbound, George, now close to a 30-minute delay coming
• 1:48:26
  Speaker 13: inbound off of I-95. The other approach is much better
• 1:48:29
  Speaker 13: if you're inbound at the Lincoln Tunnel, probably about 15
• 1:48:32
  Speaker 13: to 20, maybe a little more than that. And then
• 1:48:34
  Speaker 13: inbound at the Holland Tunnel, as you come inbound off
• 1:48:36
  Speaker 13: of 109, Probably about a 20-25 minute delay, only a
• 1:48:40
  Speaker 13: minor delay, coming off of the turnpike extension and mass transit.
• 1:48:43
  Speaker 13: Everybody on or close to schedule.
• 1:48:46
  Speaker 14: This traffic is sponsored by Apple Bank.

• 1:49:06
  Speaker 1: Is sit in friends in the morning.
• 1:49:08
  Speaker 5: 77 WABC.
• 1:49:27
  Speaker 6: It is sitting friends in the morning since off but uh...
• 1:49:30
  Speaker 6: he'll be back he was in vegas will be back
• 1:49:31
  Speaker 6: here tomorrow morning in his place in the norm john
• 1:49:34
  Speaker 6: michael and anthony kumia uh... all weighing in in this
• 1:49:38
  Speaker 6: last summer twenty five minutes or so of this program
• 1:49:40
  Speaker 6: in a michael this story's been on your mind all
• 1:49:43
  Speaker 6: morning that you wanted to bring up on if you
• 1:49:45
  Speaker 6: saw that uh... the uh... transportation secretary sean duffy announcing
• 1:49:49
  Speaker 6: yesterday that three hundred commercial truck driving training schools across
• 1:49:54
  Speaker 6: the u s have received orders to shut down because
• 1:49:58
  Speaker 6: they've been handing out these commercial driver's licenses, those for
• 1:50:01
  Speaker 6: truck drivers, to people who don't speak English, to people
• 1:50:04
  Speaker 6: who probably shouldn't get them because they're fraudulent licenses. Maybe
• 1:50:08
  Speaker 6: they haven't been trained at all. And we've seen this
• 1:50:11
  Speaker 6: increase of trucking accidents across the country. And so Sean
• 1:50:15
  Speaker 6: Duffy is stepping in now saying, no, we've got to
• 1:50:16
  Speaker 6: stop this because it's so bad out there.
• 1:50:18
  Speaker 7: But why is the U.S. attorney in California? Is that
• 1:50:22
  Speaker 7: where they're issuing most of them? Yeah. Why is the U.S.
• 1:50:25
  Speaker 7: attorney in California not going after the people that gave
• 1:50:29
  Speaker 7: orders to the people to issue the licenses? I mean,
• 1:50:34
  Speaker 7: if I was the U.S. attorney, that's what I would do.
• 1:50:36
  Speaker 6: You would think so, but I think you wonder sort
• 1:50:38
  Speaker 6: of what's the trucking company owners, right? They get these
• 1:50:40
  Speaker 6: guys cheaper. At the end of the day, they don't care.
• 1:50:43
  Speaker 6: They just want to get their product from one place
• 1:50:45
  Speaker 6: to another.
• 1:50:45
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 1:50:46
  Speaker 9: And when you start talking about using some seichel, some brain,
• 1:50:50
  Speaker 9: some logic— It took President Trump, I mean, look, this
• 1:50:56
  Speaker 9: is beyond insane to me. It took President Trump in
• 1:51:00
  Speaker 9: April of 2025 to sign an executive order that requires
• 1:51:07
  Speaker 9: commercial truck drivers in the United States, number one, to
• 1:51:11
  Speaker 9: be at least proficient in English. One would expect that. Now,
• 1:51:16
  Speaker 9: some people, of course, on the other side would say,
• 1:51:19
  Speaker 9: what's the difference what language that you speak if you're
• 1:51:22
  Speaker 9: driving a truck? It doesn't make a difference. Of course
• 1:51:26
  Speaker 9: it does. Of course it does. On top of that,
• 1:51:29
  Speaker 9: they also issued a whole bunch of new requirements that
• 1:51:34
  Speaker 9: talk about knowledge skill physical ability when you put somebody
• 1:51:41
  Speaker 9: into a vehicle that weighs like 50,000 pounds not including
• 1:51:46
  Speaker 9: the load 50,000 pounds that's like a traveling house that's
• 1:51:51
  Speaker 9: going down the highway, and God forbid it's you, your family,
• 1:51:56
  Speaker 9: a loved one, a neighbor, or any American who happens
• 1:52:00
  Speaker 9: to be in a vehicle that's near it when that
• 1:52:03
  Speaker 9: commercial vehicle ends up flipping or banging into you and
• 1:52:08
  Speaker 9: knocking you off the road?
• 1:52:10
  Speaker 7: God forbid.
• 1:52:11
  Speaker 6: You know, Anthony, I think the argument here, though, and
• 1:52:14
  Speaker 6: I get it, you shouldn't be handing out fraudulent driver's licenses,
• 1:52:17
  Speaker 6: but I don't know if you've been following this, in Texas...
• 1:52:19
  Speaker 6: they have uh... they've been testing out driverless trucks and uh...
• 1:52:24
  Speaker 6: they're using them like from austin to houston or austin
• 1:52:26
  Speaker 6: to whatever city dallas and uh... so maybe this is
• 1:52:30
  Speaker 6: a mute point because uh... eventually there won't be anybody
• 1:52:33
  Speaker 6: behind the wheel of these trucks.
• 1:52:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah with the uh... amount of uh... unqualified drivers that
• 1:52:38
  Speaker 2: have been out there of late and you see it's
• 1:52:40
  Speaker 2: terrible i mean the accidents like michael was saying uh...
• 1:52:44
  Speaker 2: families just gone wiped off the face of the earth uh.
• 1:52:49
  Speaker 2: And you hear these politicians, and they're trying to keep
• 1:52:56
  Speaker 2: illegals and incompetent people in the cabs of these trucks
• 1:53:00
  Speaker 2: driving around. They don't care about your safety. They say
• 1:53:04
  Speaker 2: it's racist or xenophobic if you try to say anything
• 1:53:09
  Speaker 2: about the fact that they can't speak English. I remember
• 1:53:13
  Speaker 2: when I was a kid, remember the matchbooks? You could
• 1:53:16
  Speaker 2: draw Tippy the Turtle and become an artist. Or you
• 1:53:19
  Speaker 2: could learn to drive a truck. That was more.
• 1:53:23
  Speaker 7: Were you one of the suckers that actually sent that
• 1:53:25
  Speaker 7: thing in? Well, you know, I wanted to.
• 1:53:29
  Speaker 2: Be an artist truck driver, so I sent in two matchbooks.
• 1:53:33
  Speaker 2: That was more rigorous. of a screening process than they
• 1:53:38
  Speaker 2: have now with these illegals getting licenses. Big question.
• 1:53:42
  Speaker 9: With that Tippy the Turtle, did you actually trace it
• 1:53:45
  Speaker 9: and think you were going to get away with it?
• 1:53:46
  Speaker 2: Didn't everybody?
• 1:53:48
  Speaker 7: Of course we all did.
• 1:53:48
  Speaker 2: I mean, that's the first fraud I think everybody perpetrated
• 1:53:53
  Speaker 2: was tracing Tippy the Turtle.
• 1:53:55
  Speaker 7: That and also those one-cent CDs.
• 1:53:58
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah. Columbia House just went out of business. They
• 1:54:01
  Speaker 2: finally packed up shop. I didn't think it was going
• 1:54:04
  Speaker 2: on because I don't know anybody– it was your first
• 1:54:07
  Speaker 2: foray into getting something and not paying for it as a,
• 1:54:12
  Speaker 2: as a kid.
• 1:54:13
  Speaker 6: I can remember, um, signing up like five different people
• 1:54:16
  Speaker 6: out of my home address. So, cause it was, you got,
• 1:54:19
  Speaker 6: what was it? You had, you got 12 and you
• 1:54:20
  Speaker 6: had to buy two albums or two CDs, right?
• 1:54:22
  Speaker 2: You got 12 for free.
• 1:54:23
  Speaker 6: So I just would have package after package showing up
• 1:54:26
  Speaker 6: in my house. And then, of course, you never paid
• 1:54:29
  Speaker 6: for them at the end.
• 1:54:29
  Speaker 2: No, they were big boxes, too, because there were albums,
• 1:54:32
  Speaker 2: like record albums in there. And all I pictured was
• 1:54:36
  Speaker 2: Columbia House somewhere, a big warehouse, and guys just sitting
• 1:54:41
  Speaker 2: around peeling pennies off of those postcards going, I think
• 1:54:44
  Speaker 2: we're screwed. I don't think this is a good business plan.
• 1:54:49
  Speaker 6: But clearly it was if they just went out of
• 1:54:50
  Speaker 6: business recently.
• 1:54:51
  Speaker 8: I know.
• 1:54:52
  Speaker 2: I don't know how that happened.
• 1:54:53
  Speaker 7: They stayed in business this long?
• 1:54:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, they just went out of business.
• 1:54:57
  Speaker 7: That sounds like, who was that company that, oh, I
• 1:55:01
  Speaker 7: forget the name of the company, that 50% off on
• 1:55:05
  Speaker 7: your grocery bill. Oh, God.
• 1:55:08
  Speaker 6: Which one's that?
• 1:55:08
  Speaker 7: 50% off your grocery bill.
• 1:55:11
  Speaker 2: Sounds like Mamdani.
• 1:55:12
  Speaker 7: But they paid, we signed up with them, Gristini's, but
• 1:55:16
  Speaker 7: we got paid 100%.
• 1:55:18
  Speaker 2: Ah, where the money come from. Memberships.
• 1:55:21
  Speaker 7: It turned out to be a fraud. Yeah. But we
• 1:55:24
  Speaker 7: got paid. We got paid 100%. And what happened was
• 1:55:27
  Speaker 7: it was a public company. And I told Carl Icahn
• 1:55:31
  Speaker 7: about it at dinner. And he made a couple hundred
• 1:55:34
  Speaker 7: million dollars shorting it.
• 1:55:36
  Speaker 2: Oh, God.
• 1:55:37
  Speaker 7: Wow. And what happened is they had a marketing company.
• 1:55:41
  Speaker 7: So the marketing company was not part of the public company.
• 1:55:48
  Speaker 7: So the public company was making money, and the marketing
• 1:55:52
  Speaker 7: company that was not part of it was losing the money.
• 1:55:55
  Speaker 3: Wow.
• 1:55:55
  Speaker 7: Is that an ultimate fraud?
• 1:55:57
  Speaker 6: And so what happened to the person who brought this
• 1:55:59
  Speaker 6: idea to you? Are they still working for you?
• 1:56:01
  Speaker 5: No, no.
• 1:56:02
  Speaker 7: We got paid $ 100.
• 1:56:02
  Speaker 6: Oh, you did?
• 1:56:03
  Speaker 2: So you were fine.
• 1:56:04
  Speaker 7: We did a lot of business. I mean, could you
• 1:56:06
  Speaker 7: imagine getting 50% off?
• 1:56:08
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 1:56:08
  Speaker 7: The customer got 100%. You bought $ 100 in groceries, you
• 1:56:11
  Speaker 7: got $ 100 in groceries.
• 1:56:17
  Speaker 6: What a scam.
• 1:56:17
  Speaker 2: You got the money.
• 1:56:18
  Speaker 7: But you got $ 50 back.
• 1:56:20
  Speaker 2: Somebody was left holding the bag.
• 1:56:22
  Speaker 9: Anthony, how many times did you end up sending to
• 1:56:25
  Speaker 9: Columbia House things like Harry Newts or I'm a dope?
• 1:56:30
  Speaker 9: Your mom turns and says, who's I'm a dope?

• 1:58:07
  Speaker 13: Well, if you're on the Van Wyk Northbound coming up
• 1:58:09
  Speaker 13: to Jewell Avenue now, there's an accident. The two left
• 1:58:11
  Speaker 13: lanes are going to be out of service. Multi-vehicles involved
• 1:58:14
  Speaker 13: in that. And of course, police are on the scene.
• 1:58:16
  Speaker 13: So if you're headed that way, there are going to
• 1:58:18
  Speaker 13: be some delays. Now, if you're traveling to the outbound
• 1:58:21
  Speaker 13: side of the George Washington Bridge on the upper level,
• 1:58:24
  Speaker 13: underneath the apartments, you've got yourself a disabled tractor trailer.
• 1:58:27
  Speaker 13: So that's got The Cross Bronx backed up now almost
• 1:58:30
  Speaker 13: all the way to 3rd Avenue. Still a lot of
• 1:58:32
  Speaker 13: delays northbound I-95, New England Thruway, and the Connecticut Turnpike
• 1:58:35
  Speaker 13: leaving New York, getting up into Connecticut. There was an
• 1:58:38
  Speaker 13: earlier accident up there between exits 2 and 3. You
• 1:58:41
  Speaker 13: had a lot of leftover traffic, though, from that as
• 1:58:44
  Speaker 13: you start to get through that area. And then also
• 1:58:46
  Speaker 13: as you start to head out onto the Garden State Parkway,
• 1:58:49
  Speaker 13: we've eased out. Again, we were telling you about that
• 1:58:51
  Speaker 13: debris down around 102. That is now gone. And mass

  Speaker 6: be back tomorrow morning. He's been in Las Vegas. I'm
• 2:02:48
  Speaker 6: sure we'll have lots of stories to tell, so make
• 2:02:50
  Speaker 6: sure you're here at 6 o'clock this morning. I was
• 2:02:54
  Speaker 6: going to tell you about this woman that reached out
• 2:02:57
  Speaker 6: to me from Crown Heights, Brooklyn. She knows I'm an
• 2:03:01
  Speaker 6: animal lover. I have a dog, and I probably love
• 2:03:04
  Speaker 6: the dog more than anybody else in my family.
• 2:03:06
  Speaker 7: We all love our dogs. We all love our cats.
• 2:03:09
  Speaker 7: I mean, the problem is they die too soon, and
• 2:03:12
  Speaker 7: you have to cry a lot.
• 2:03:13
  Speaker 2: Well, yeah, that's true.
• 2:03:14
  Speaker 6: You're going to most likely outlive them unless something goes wrong. Anthony,
• 2:03:17
  Speaker 6: do you have a dog or cat?
• 2:03:19
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah. Got one of each. Dog and a cat.
• 2:03:21
  Speaker 2: Love them to death. You know, throwing the ball around
• 2:03:25
  Speaker 2: with the dog is, I never thought as a young man,
• 2:03:28
  Speaker 2: I never thought that would be something I would enjoy
• 2:03:31
  Speaker 2: so much. Just going out on the lawn and throwing
• 2:03:34
  Speaker 2: the ball around with the dog. But it is fantastic.
• 2:03:38
  Speaker 6: You know, and I never understood what it meant to
• 2:03:40
  Speaker 6: be man's best friend until I got to be older
• 2:03:43
  Speaker 6: and when everybody else is kind of against you in
• 2:03:45
  Speaker 6: the family and the dog was the only one that'll
• 2:03:47
  Speaker 6: show you love. You know, that happens enough times that
• 2:03:50
  Speaker 6: I've had this. So this woman reached out to me
• 2:03:52
  Speaker 6: because she's heard me talk about it on the air
• 2:03:54
  Speaker 6: a lot. And she's from Crown Heights. And boy, I've
• 2:03:57
  Speaker 6: run into this myself as well, living in the city.
• 2:04:00
  Speaker 6: Her name's Leslie Steele. And so she's out last week
• 2:04:03
  Speaker 6: in Crown Heights with her dog, walking the dog. And
• 2:04:06
  Speaker 6: all of a sudden, this woman who, of course, doesn't
• 2:04:08
  Speaker 6: have her dog on any form of leash comes over
• 2:04:11
  Speaker 6: and just attacks her, this woman, Leslie, and bites her
• 2:04:15
  Speaker 6: in the hand, bites her in the arm. And then
• 2:04:19
  Speaker 6: this is the part I've seen happen so many times
• 2:04:21
  Speaker 6: in the dog park. So the woman doesn't even come
• 2:04:24
  Speaker 6: to try to stop this dog. She just lets the
• 2:04:26
  Speaker 6: dog do what it's going to do. Then she grabs
• 2:04:28
  Speaker 6: the dog, puts the dog on the leash, and she
• 2:04:31
  Speaker 6: walks out of the park. Well, Leslie starts chasing her.
• 2:04:33
  Speaker 6: She goes, Wait a minute, like, I don't know anything
• 2:04:35
  Speaker 6: about your dog. And the woman just gets into a
• 2:04:38
  Speaker 6: car and she drives off. And so she's asking me,
• 2:04:41
  Speaker 6: what should I do? And I said, well, in the meantime,
• 2:04:44
  Speaker 6: you don't know if this dog could be rabid.
• 2:04:45
  Speaker 2: So she has.
• 2:04:46
  Speaker 6: So now she's getting the rabies shot. She's getting the
• 2:04:51
  Speaker 6: tetanus shot. They told her to stop by the vet's
• 2:04:54
  Speaker 6: office to make sure they're testing for all kinds of stuff.
• 2:04:57
  Speaker 6: They can't find this woman. And then when you go
• 2:05:00
  Speaker 6: to look at the laws in New York City when
• 2:05:03
  Speaker 6: it comes to pets and animals, even if they find
• 2:05:05
  Speaker 6: this woman, which they won't probably because she'll just never
• 2:05:07
  Speaker 6: show up at this dog park again, they won't do
• 2:05:10
  Speaker 6: anything to her. There's not much they can do to her.
• 2:05:12
  Speaker 9: Well, actually, there is a law. Believe it or not,
• 2:05:14
  Speaker 9: it's called the one. dog bite rule and i would
• 2:05:19
  Speaker 9: suspect that the reason the woman took off is because
• 2:05:22
  Speaker 9: her dog probably bit somebody in the past if it
• 2:05:25
  Speaker 9: gets um posted if there's a police report earlier on
• 2:05:30
  Speaker 9: a second bite you can actually make a motion to
• 2:05:34
  Speaker 9: the court to put that dog down oh you're kidding
• 2:05:36
  Speaker 9: yes that's probably why the woman took off.
• 2:05:38
  Speaker 6: But i almost feel like he's a lawyer yeah but
• 2:05:41
  Speaker 6: Put the owner down. Yeah, exactly. Forget the dog. The
• 2:05:44
  Speaker 6: dog only learns from the owner.
• 2:05:46
  Speaker 9: Well, until now the woman who got bit starts scratching,
• 2:05:49
  Speaker 9: you know, and asking to have her belly rubbed.
• 2:05:54
  Speaker 6: I didn't know that. Okay, well, that's interesting.
• 2:05:56
  Speaker 7: Yeah, it's a dog bite rule.
• 2:05:57
  Speaker 6: But even that, right? So they put the dog down.
• 2:06:01
  Speaker 2: Okay, fine.
• 2:06:01
  Speaker 6: But now you've got this woman. She'll probably go out
• 2:06:03
  Speaker 6: and buy another dog and walk it around leashless all
• 2:06:06
  Speaker 6: over the city like she has.
• 2:06:09
  Speaker 7: Look, that's one of the problems. And when you walk
• 2:06:11
  Speaker 7: through Central Park, as I do on a regular basis,
• 2:06:15
  Speaker 7: I see people... just taking their dogs off the leash. Now,
• 2:06:20
  Speaker 7: there are some areas that you can, but then there
• 2:06:23
  Speaker 7: are other areas that you really shouldn't because, look, in
• 2:06:26
  Speaker 7: all fairness, the Central Park is very busy and you
• 2:06:29
  Speaker 7: don't know how the dog is going to react. I mean,
• 2:06:32
  Speaker 7: maybe the dog is nervous because there's so many people
• 2:06:35
  Speaker 7: around and you just sort of never know. And it's
• 2:06:38
  Speaker 7: an unfortunate situation.
• 2:06:40
  Speaker 2: Well, this is something we've seen over the course of
• 2:06:42
  Speaker 2: the years, especially of late. People that just don't want
• 2:06:46
  Speaker 2: to pay attention to rules, regulations, laws. And then there's
• 2:06:51
  Speaker 2: this entitlement, if you call them on it, that, oh,
• 2:06:54
  Speaker 2: I don't care. You're the problem for confronting me about this.
• 2:06:59
  Speaker 2: Not just with dogs, with everything. Just poor behavior, bad behavior.
• 2:07:06
  Speaker 2: People that don't want to fit into a, society and
• 2:07:09
  Speaker 2: work within its boundaries and rules and that's bad enough
• 2:07:13
  Speaker 2: but like i said the The icing on that cake
• 2:07:16
  Speaker 2: are that when they're confronted, they say, oh, and what
• 2:07:20
  Speaker 2: are you going to do about it? Yeah, interesting.
• 2:07:22
  Speaker 9: You know, I'm looking it up actually right now. It
• 2:07:24
  Speaker 9: appears that the case that I was referring to was
• 2:07:28
  Speaker 9: overturned in 2025, that one-bite rule for dogs. They overturned
• 2:07:32
  Speaker 9: it in a case called Flanders versus Goodfellow in 2025.
• 2:07:35
  Speaker 7: I mean, I haven't practiced law.
• 2:07:38
  Speaker 9: Now, in quite some time, because I remember many years
• 2:07:41
  Speaker 9: ago when I was practicing and we're doing malpractice tort litigation,
• 2:07:46
  Speaker 9: we had a very serious case like this. But, yeah,
• 2:07:49
  Speaker 9: it appears that it's no.
• 2:07:50
  Speaker 7: Longer one bite. Maybe it's two. What happens if the
• 2:07:55
  Speaker 7: owner of the dog bites you? In New York? I'm
• 2:07:59
  Speaker 7: going to look that up, too.
• 2:08:00
  Speaker 2: In New York these days?
• 2:08:01
  Speaker 7: The owner goes home free. You probably have to buy
• 2:08:05
  Speaker 7: him a coffee.
• 2:08:08
  Speaker 2: Commonplace down in the subways these days. Getting bit. Getting hit?
• 2:08:13
  Speaker 2: Getting pushed down the stairs?
• 2:08:14
  Speaker 6: Getting shoved onto the subway tracks?
• 2:08:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah.
• 2:08:17
  Speaker 6: There was a guy who also reached out to me
• 2:08:18
  Speaker 6: last week. Two different times. Two times he's been shoved
• 2:08:22
  Speaker 6: onto the tracks.
• 2:08:23
  Speaker 2: Twice.
• 2:08:23
  Speaker 6: In a year. Last January. And then he was shoved
• 2:08:27
  Speaker 6: onto the tracks.
• 2:08:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 2:08:29
  Speaker 6: And then he was shoved onto the tracks just like
• 2:08:31
  Speaker 6: a couple weeks ago.
• 2:08:32
  Speaker 7: How did it happen twice?
• 2:08:34
  Speaker 6: I don't know.
• 2:08:34
  Speaker 2: You'd think he'd put your back against the wall. I
• 2:08:37
  Speaker 2: don't go down into that subway. My back is against
• 2:08:40
  Speaker 2: the wall twice. if I am down there, uh, you
• 2:08:43
  Speaker 2: still see people, they, they lean over the trench and
• 2:08:47
  Speaker 2: they're looking for the train. I'm like, are you out
• 2:08:50
  Speaker 2: of your mind? Where do you think you live?
• 2:08:53
  Speaker 6: It is amazing. I just said the behavior of people.
• 2:08:56
  Speaker 6: You would think that you see what's going on down there.
• 2:08:59
  Speaker 2: A little self, uh, protection, a little, you know, head
• 2:09:02
  Speaker 2: on a swivel kind of a thing. I don't know.
• 2:09:04
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 2:09:05
  Speaker 6: Uh, you know, someone was just sending me this, uh,
• 2:09:08
  Speaker 6: this poll and we'll end with this, uh, the, Now,
• 2:09:12
  Speaker 6: it's from UMass, University of Massachusetts, so I'm sure it
• 2:09:16
  Speaker 6: leans left, probably from a place like UMass. But it's
• 2:09:20
  Speaker 6: saying that Trump's approval rating now is down to 32%.
• 2:09:26
  Speaker 6: And that his approval rating with Republicans, maybe more concerning,
• 2:09:30
  Speaker 6: has fallen 14 points since March. And it goes on
• 2:09:33
  Speaker 6: to say one in six Trump voters now say they
• 2:09:35
  Speaker 6: would not vote for him again. None of that is
• 2:09:39
  Speaker 6: good news for him coming up to the November midterms.
• 2:09:41
  Speaker 7: And which poll is that?
• 2:09:42
  Speaker 6: This is from UMass Amherst. So, again, no doubt the
• 2:09:47
  Speaker 6: thumb is on the scale left-leaning.
• 2:09:49
  Speaker 7: I'm sure there's... Well, it's worse as you're mentioning it.
• 2:09:51
  Speaker 7: I mean, you know that it's false.
• 2:09:52
  Speaker 6: Well, I don't know that it's false because they poll
• 2:09:55
  Speaker 6: the Republicans.
• 2:09:56
  Speaker 7: I think more so than not. Right.
• 2:09:59
  Speaker 6: Well, either way, let's say it's off by 10 points.
• 2:10:02
  Speaker 7: I happen to be an expert. The president's lawyer.
• 2:10:04
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 2:10:05
  Speaker 9: I happen to be experts in these nonsensical polls.
• 2:10:09
  Speaker 8: Right.
• 2:10:10
  Speaker 7: As you all know, I had a very famous meme
• 2:10:12
  Speaker 7: that exists even today. Says who?
• 2:10:16
  Speaker 9: It was a fight that I had on CNN with
• 2:10:17
  Speaker 9: Breonna Keillor when she stated the same thing, that Trump
• 2:10:21
  Speaker 9: is so down about it.
• 2:10:23
  Speaker 7: Says who?
• 2:10:24
  Speaker 2: She goes, the polls.
• 2:10:25
  Speaker 7: I said, which polls? She goes, all of them.
• 2:10:27
  Speaker 9: Well, I actually look at the data behind these polls.
• 2:10:31
  Speaker 9: This UMass Amherst poll found broad disapproval of President Trump.
• 2:10:40
  Speaker 9: Two-thirds of the surveyed, 1,000 respondents. 1,000 people are the
• 2:10:47
  Speaker 9: ones that are going to make up a poll within
• 2:10:48
  Speaker 9: which to determine whether or not— The better way to
• 2:10:59
  Speaker 9: do it is to go to Anthony Cumia, pay him
• 2:11:03
  Speaker 9: to put it on his ex or his Twitter or
• 2:11:05
  Speaker 9: his Instagram, where he has three, four, five hundred thousand
• 2:11:08
  Speaker 9: people that follow him. I have like half a million
• 2:11:11
  Speaker 9: two-toe together. We have a million people, Anthony. And then
• 2:11:15
  Speaker 9: you get a better cross-section of the country on somebody's
• 2:11:18
  Speaker 9: approval slash disapproval rate. One thousand people who they already
• 2:11:23
  Speaker 9: know how they're going to answer.
• 2:11:25
  Speaker 7: And then Noma, Noma.
• 2:11:31
  Speaker 2: It's also how the question is asked. They never show
• 2:11:35
  Speaker 2: you that. The news just reports, oh, his ratings are down.
• 2:11:40
  Speaker 2: Fact of the matter is, the people that say they
• 2:11:43
  Speaker 2: wouldn't vote for Trump again, did they ask with that question,
• 2:11:47
  Speaker 2: who would he be running against? Kamala Harris? Are there
• 2:11:51
  Speaker 2: any people that voted for Trump that said, oh, I wish...
• 2:11:54
  Speaker 2: I would have voted for Kamala Harris. Hell no. I
• 2:11:57
  Speaker 2: don't know one.
• 2:11:58
  Speaker 7: How about this? We would not have made 275 years
• 2:12:03
  Speaker 7: that Kamala Harris was elected.
• 2:12:05
  Speaker 5: Nope.
• 2:12:05
  Speaker 2: And the borders would still be open and we'd still
• 2:12:08
  Speaker 2: be flooded and not one person would have been deported.
• 2:12:11
  Speaker 2: It would have been a disaster.
• 2:12:13
  Speaker 9: The way you said it is exactly right, Anthony. It's
• 2:12:16
  Speaker 9: about the way the question is asked. Here they show
• 2:12:18
  Speaker 9: 54% disapprove. 54% of the majority of Americans disapprove of U.S.
• 2:12:23
  Speaker 9: military actions in Iran. Now, add to that question... What
• 2:12:27
  Speaker 9: if Iran had a nuclear device? Would your answer still
• 2:12:31
  Speaker 9: be the same? And I suspect the answer would be
• 2:12:35
  Speaker 9: 95% of Americans would turn around and say, yeah, I
• 2:12:37
  Speaker 9: think military action in Iran is justified.
• 2:12:40
  Speaker 7: Specter. Specter. Well, we talked about before. You get Russia, China,
• 2:12:45
  Speaker 7: North Korea. Are they that stupid to give Iran an
• 2:12:51
  Speaker 7: atomic bomb? Who's going to answer that question?
• 2:12:55
  Speaker 6: I did my job. I got everybody up on their
• 2:12:57
  Speaker 6: arms at the end of the show.
• 2:12:58
  Speaker 7: Anthony, take us home.
• 2:12:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah, right. I think somebody would be stupid enough to
• 2:13:04
  Speaker 2: give it to them. They're not going to be able
• 2:13:07
  Speaker 2: to build one for a while, especially if every few
• 2:13:10
  Speaker 2: years we drill a few bunker busters into a mountain
• 2:13:14
  Speaker 2: range or two over there. I do agree they shouldn't
• 2:13:18
  Speaker 2: be allowed to have nuclear weapons, but I would like
• 2:13:22
  Speaker 2: to know an end game here.
• 2:13:23
  Speaker 7: Anthony, Anthony, you should run, you know, we're buying those
• 2:13:27
  Speaker 7: two Boston channels, 50,000 watts each, and you should run
• 2:13:33
  Speaker 7: the morning show there.
• 2:13:35
  Speaker 2: I love it. I'm an old Boston guy. I did
• 2:13:37
  Speaker 2: radio up there for three years.
• 2:13:38
  Speaker 7: You know, 39%, I said it before, 39% of Massachusetts
• 2:13:43
  Speaker 7: is Republican. And you know how many representatives they have
• 2:13:46
  Speaker 7: in Congress?
• 2:13:47
  Speaker 2: Zero.
• 2:13:48
  Speaker 7: Ungans.
• 2:13:49
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 2:13:50
  Speaker 6: Anthony Cumia, Michael Cohen, John Katsimatidis, Noam Layden in for Sid.
• 2:13:55

  Speaker 1: Traffic and Transit.
• 2:14:44
  Speaker 13: Well, heading out onto the Van White, we still have
• 2:14:46
  Speaker 13: delays getting into Jewel Avenue from the Apple Bank traffic desk. Again,
• 2:14:49
  Speaker 13: northbound as you travel up onto the area of Jewel Avenue.
• 2:14:54
  Speaker 14: Again, you've got this accident.
• 2:14:55
  Speaker 13: Three lanes are out, the three left lanes. So, obviously,
• 2:14:58
  Speaker 13: a pretty serious accident getting through there. You want to
• 2:15:00
  Speaker 13: avoid that if you can. Now, up in Westchester, a
• 2:15:03
  Speaker 13: couple of problems. First of all, if you're traveling on
• 2:15:05
  Speaker 13: the Springbrook northbound of Jackson Avenue right by the reservoir there,
• 2:15:08
  Speaker 13: there's an accident.
• 2:15:09
  Speaker 2: And then also.
• 2:15:10
  Speaker 13: Still a lot of heavy traffic coming out of New York,
• 2:15:12
  Speaker 13: getting into Connecticut on I-95.
• 2:15:14
  Speaker 14: The earlier accident there is out of the way.
• 2:15:16
  Speaker 13: And now on the Belt Parkway, as you travel eastbound,
• 2:15:19
  Speaker 13: right at Coney Island Avenue, an accident there.
• 2:15:21
  Speaker 14: That also in the process of being cleared.
• 2:15:24
  Speaker 13: Still have that disabled tractor trailer outbound on the upper
• 2:15:27
  Speaker 13: level of the George Washington Bridge. That's slowing everybody down
• 2:15:29
  Speaker 13: on the cross Bronx. And alternate side of the street
• 2:15:32
  Speaker 13: parking is in effect today. With an Apple Bank pick-your-own-term CD,
• 2:15:36
  Speaker 13: get a guaranteed rate of return that fits your 6-
