• 0:14
  Speaker 3: New York State Broadcasters Hall of Fame. I can't believe
• 0:18
  Speaker 3: he didn't make it years ago. Today, Sid forever joins

  Speaker 3: a roll call of some of the greatest legends in
• 0:25
  Speaker 3: the history of New York broadcasting and talk radio. the
• 0:28
  Speaker 3: best in the business, and he's the best in the business.
• 0:31
  Speaker 3: Over many years, Sid has distinguished himself as one of
• 0:34
  Speaker 3: the most authentic and recognizable voices in American airwaves. And
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: he's built a smart, loyal, gigantic audience. And I happen
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: to be one of those people in the audience. And
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: I had for a long time, long before I became president.
• 0:50
  Speaker 4: We'll be extremely tight across New York City as diplomats
• 0:53
  Speaker 4: from around the world come together on the east side
• 0:55
  Speaker 4: for the U.N.
• 0:56
  Speaker 5: General Assembly.
• 0:57
  Speaker 4: It gets started, but the worst traffic and protests expected
• 1:01
  Speaker 4: next week. The NYPD is partnering with other agencies to
• 1:04
  Speaker 4: make sure every inch of the land, sea and sky
• 1:07
  Speaker 4: are safe. Officials say they are prepared for an uptick
• 1:10
  Speaker 4: in protests over the unrest around the world. Demonstrators are
• 1:14
  Speaker 4: expected to speak out against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu,
• 1:19
  Speaker 4: who is traveling to New York despite pushback from Mayor Mamdani.
• 1:23
  Speaker 5: As always, the NYPD will facilitate protests. First Amendment activity.
• 1:27
  Speaker 6: At the same time, there will be no tolerance for
• 1:30
  Speaker 6: violence or destruction of property.
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: The U.S.
• 1:32
  Speaker 4: State Department has approved visas for an Iranian delegation to
• 1:36
  Speaker 4: attend the U.N. General Assembly, but a visa was denied
• 1:39
  Speaker 4: for Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas. He will address the General
• 1:44
  Speaker 4: Assembly virtually again this year. New Yorkers should brace for
• 1:47
  Speaker 4: street closures and a gridlock alert.
• 1:50
  Speaker 7: You were just talking about those protests.
• 1:53
  Speaker 8: Mayor Mamdani says he does not plan to join the protests,
• 1:56
  Speaker 8: but he once suggested that he would arrest Israeli Prime
• 1:59
  Speaker 8: Minister Netanyahu for war crimes. but now concedes he does
• 2:02
  Speaker 8: not have the authority to do that.
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: Eyewitness News reporter N.J.
• 2:05
  Speaker 8: Burkett went one-on-one with the mayor and talked about that
• 2:07
  Speaker 8: decision and much more as we head into an important
• 2:10
  Speaker 8: week next week.
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: N.J.? Right, Mike. Mayor Mamdani told me that he will.
• 2:14
  Speaker 9: Not participate in protests next week outside the United Nations.
• 2:18
  Speaker 9: He's not encouraging them, Mike, either. Instead, he says he's
• 2:21
  Speaker 9: focused on public safety and traffic, leaving the politics and
• 2:25
  Speaker 9: the protests to others. The NYPD is bracing for massive
• 2:30
  Speaker 9: protests outside the United Nations, where Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin
• 2:34
  Speaker 9: Netanyahu will again take the world stage. There was a
• 2:38
  Speaker 9: time when Saram Mamdani would have been among the demonstrators,
• 2:42
  Speaker 9: but not now.
• 2:43
  Speaker 10: My focus in this time is on making sure that
• 2:45
  Speaker 10: we're keeping New Yorkers safe, that we're also still making
• 2:48
  Speaker 10: it possible for New Yorkers to get from... point a
• 2:50
  Speaker 10: to point b and to continue to be honest about
• 2:52
  Speaker 10: the way that i see the.
• 2:53
  Speaker 9: World shut up he was a leading voice for palestinian
• 3:03
  Speaker 9: rights long before he won city hall he threatened to
• 3:06
  Speaker 9: have netanyahu arrested.
• 3:08
  Speaker 10: Benjamin netanyahu is a war criminal the architect of a
• 3:11
  Speaker 10: horrific genocide.
• 3:12
  Speaker 9: And later admitted he lacked the authority In an Eyewitness
• 3:15
  Speaker 9: News interview, the mayor said he would not participate in
• 3:18
  Speaker 9: any anti-Israel or pro-Palestinian protests.
• 3:22
  Speaker 10: Well, I've been very clear to New Yorkers about what
• 3:25
  Speaker 10: I believe, what I see, I stand by what I've said.
• 3:27
  Speaker 10: And also, my job as the mayor is, as we
• 3:30
  Speaker 10: are coming forward to this General Assembly, is to ensure
• 3:32
  Speaker 10: that it goes safely, it goes smoothly, all while continuing
• 3:36
  Speaker 10: to believe the things that I do.
• 3:37
  Speaker 9: Mamdani has not hesitated to join strikers on picket lines
• 3:40
  Speaker 9: for causes he believes in.
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: You used your.
• 3:44
  Speaker 9: forum as the mayor of New York to express your
• 3:47
  Speaker 9: opinions about those causes.
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: Why not here?
• 3:50
  Speaker 10: In terms of attending a protest, you're asking?
• 3:51
  Speaker 7: Yeah, or organizing one.
• 3:53
  Speaker 10: Well, you know, I think that as the mayor, I
• 3:55
  Speaker 10: want to make it clear what I believe, and I
• 3:57
  Speaker 10: also have to deliver on my responsibilities.
• 3:59
  Speaker 9: For some in the Muslim community, that's good enough. From
• 4:02
  Speaker 9: activist Linda Sarsour, the mayor has made his positions on Israel,
• 4:06
  Speaker 9: and in particular Benjamin Netanyahu, very clear, and I think
• 4:09
  Speaker 9: that's sufficient.
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: And this from care.
• 4:12
  Speaker 7: The mayor's job is to.
• 4:13
  Speaker 9: Make sure that the people of New York are safe
• 4:16
  Speaker 9: no matter their political views. He did his part, and
• 4:19
  Speaker 9: he's right to focus on being the mayor. But the
• 4:22
  Speaker 9: mayor's reluctance to engage is being tested after this remark
• 4:27
  Speaker 9: from the Israeli ambassador.
• 4:28
  Speaker 11: If someone should be arrested, it's Mayor Mamdani for inciting.
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: for.
• 4:33
  Speaker 12: Actually collaborating with the enemies of the United States.
• 4:36
  Speaker 9: There was no immediate comment from the ADL, which, of course,
• 4:39
  Speaker 9: has been very critical of the mayor in recent months.
• 4:41
  Speaker 13: I spoke this.
• 4:42
  Speaker 9: Afternoon with Rabbi Joe Pataszek of the New York Board
• 4:44
  Speaker 9: of Rabbis. He called the mayor's remarks to Eyewitness News
• 4:47
  Speaker 9: a step forward. Let's see, he says, what happens next week.
• 4:51
  Speaker 14: Congratulations, Sid, on your induction into the New York State
• 4:54
  Speaker 14: Broadcasters Hall of Fame. I completely agree with President Trump.
• 4:59
  Speaker 14: It's unbelievable it took them so long. Sid, you've not
• 5:02
  Speaker 14: only become one of the great voices of New York
• 5:05
  Speaker 14: and America, you're one of the greatest voices of truth
• 5:08
  Speaker 14: for Israel. And there's a reason you have such an
• 5:11
  Speaker 14: enormous audience. You don't blabber woke nonsense. You don't tell
• 5:15
  Speaker 14: people what the fashionable crowd thinks they should hear. You
• 5:19
  Speaker 14: tell them the truth, the hard truth. And you tell
• 5:22
  Speaker 14: it with passion, with humor, and with absolutely no fear.
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: It's dubbed the feast of all feasts. And with all
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: due respect, after 100 years of pumping out countless servings
• 5:34
  Speaker 4: of sausage and peppers and zeppoles, they kind of earned
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: the title, right? But San Gennaro is more than stuffing
• 5:41
  Speaker 4: your face. What started off as a one-day block party
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: a century ago has blossomed into an 11-day event of festivities, giving,
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: and definitely celebration. Iowa News reporter Kimberly Richardson takes us
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: to Little Italy.
• 5:58
  Speaker 15: They say when in Rome, sugar on top of sugar, sugar,
• 6:02
  Speaker 15: it is a sweet year for the San Gennaro Festival,
• 6:05
  Speaker 15: now in its 100th year. Over the next 11 days,
• 6:08
  Speaker 15: thousands will fill the streets here in Little Italy.
• 6:11
  Speaker 5: While most have made coming here an annual tradition, for others,
• 6:15
  Speaker 5: it's a first.
• 6:16
  Speaker 15: Like Eric and Fanis, who happened to stumble upon the
• 6:19
  Speaker 15: celebration on day one.
• 6:22
  Speaker 16: We're headed to Spain, so we're going to just stop
• 6:24
  Speaker 16: through real quick and Do a little shopping.
• 6:27
  Speaker 5: You got to grab some sausage and peppers.
• 6:29
  Speaker 11: We were just looking at it.
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: It smelled good when we walked past.
• 6:32
  Speaker 5: It's part of the draw, tasting the classics.
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: Hey!
• 6:36
  Speaker 5: Meat rich from Philly. Cheesesteak or peppers and sausage?
• 6:41
  Speaker 13: Brajo.
• 6:44
  Speaker 5: Remember that saying about Rome?
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: Here we go. Next. Rice boss? Yes, ma'am.
• 6:50
  Speaker 5: Let me see.
• 6:51
  Speaker 12: Check.
• 6:52
  Speaker 5: This version with pesto and ricotta cheese.
• 6:55
  Speaker 15: Calamari and prawns here as well.
• 6:58
  Speaker 5: There's the cacio e pepe, clams, cannolis.
• 7:02
  Speaker 15: And Lucy, she's been in this neighborhood for 52 years.
• 7:06
  Speaker 17: I was only six years old when my grandmother put
• 7:08
  Speaker 17: me in this stand.
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: But it was.
• 7:10
  Speaker 17: Maybe about 10 feet.
• 7:13
  Speaker 15: There was a hot plate and the sandwich cost 25 cents.
• 7:17
  Speaker 15: a festival that used to happen in just one block.
• 7:20
  Speaker 15: Why is it important to carry on the tradition?
• 7:22
  Speaker 17: Because my grandmother worked so hard in those days, depression years,
• 7:26
  Speaker 17: and she was so proud of what she did. So
• 7:29
  Speaker 17: when she had passed on, it was her wish that
• 7:32
  Speaker 17: I would carry it out.
• 7:33
  Speaker 5: Time to carry out this final taste extravaganza.
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: What about a fried Oreo?
• 7:38
  Speaker 5: At this beloved New York City must-do.
• 7:41
  Speaker 13: So much pride in this community. So fantastic day. Couldn't
• 7:45
  Speaker 13: be happier.
• 7:46
  Speaker 15: You have plenty of time to come out here. Things
• 7:48
  Speaker 15: wrap up September 27th. The big finale, the grand procession.
• 7:54
  Speaker 5: On September 26th.
• 7:55
  Speaker 15: In Little Italy, Kimberly Richardson, Channel 7 Eyewitness News.
• 8:00
  Speaker 6: AI is just now disclosing that there were six additional
• 8:04
  Speaker 6: times where its artificial intelligence models went rogue in just
• 8:08
  Speaker 6: the last few months. And now there's growing bipartisan push
• 8:11
  Speaker 6: to create a way to track and report when this happens.
• 8:15
  Speaker 6: Democratic Congressman Josh Gottheimer and Republican Congressman Mike Lawler highlighting
• 8:19
  Speaker 6: their bipartisan bill that would direct the National Institute of
• 8:23
  Speaker 6: Standards and Technology to create a framework that will allow
• 8:26
  Speaker 6: companies to track and control AI agents. This push to
• 8:30
  Speaker 6: develop national standards and guidelines for AI companies really came
• 8:35
  Speaker 6: to the forefront after OpenAI admitted back in July that
• 8:38
  Speaker 6: hundreds of their artificial intelligence agents hacked into another company
• 8:43
  Speaker 6: that also covered their tracks. Now OpenAI says there are
• 8:47
  Speaker 6: more incidents they are just now reporting of AI agents
• 8:50
  Speaker 6: showing concerning behavior or going rogue. Gottheimer and Lawler say
• 8:55
  Speaker 6: their bipartisan bill would require companies to keep track of
• 8:58
  Speaker 6: and control AI agents in their system. But both say
• 9:02
  Speaker 6: this won't limit AI innovation.
• 9:05
  Speaker 13: This isn't about stopping AI or stifling innovation. It is
• 9:09
  Speaker 13: about making sure that we can safely deploy AI.
• 9:11
  Speaker 7: It tells NIST.
• 9:13
  Speaker 13: the National Institute of Standards and Technology, get in a
• 9:15
  Speaker 13: room and set standards so organizations can find every agent
• 9:18
  Speaker 13: on their network, verify who built it, who's running it,
• 9:22
  Speaker 13: watch it in real time for.
• 9:23
  Speaker 16: Anything suspicious, and cut off its.
• 9:25
  Speaker 13: Access the second something looks wrong.
• 9:27
  Speaker 6: Also next week, President Trump is meeting with Chinese President
• 9:30
  Speaker 6: Xi Jinping at the White House, and AI will likely
• 9:32
  Speaker 6: be one of the many topics discussed.
• 9:35
  Speaker 5: Do you think Sid should run for mayor of New
• 9:36
  Speaker 5: York City?
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: I definitely think so. Can you imagine how he would
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: shake things up? I would love to see a debate
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: between him and Zoran Mondani.
• 9:45
  Speaker 13: I would pay probably $ 1, 000 for ringside seats to see
• 9:48
  Speaker 13: that match.
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: Most of my brethren, the Jewish people, will be feasting
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: on Sunday because Yom Kippur comes your way Sunday night
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: into Monday. and then we can't eat. We all must
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: fast until we feast again when we break the fast
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: on Monday night. So it looks like feast. That's going
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: to be our word for today. Feast. What do you think, Norm?
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: You like that?
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: Sure.
• 10:14
  Speaker 7: I'll go with that, sure.
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: You like that, Feast?
• 10:16
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: Feast is the word for the day. The end of
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: the opening was Lisa Glassberg, our beloved Lisa G, interviewing
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: Bruce Blakeman, the Nassau County executive, soon to be the
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: next governor here in New York. It was on the
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: red carpet, believe it or not, a week ago. It
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: was a week ago already, the WABC gala, which we
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: didn't make because it was Rosh Hashanah. But on the
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: red carpet... Lisa Gee brought up mayor, and I'm telling you, man,
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: I can't tell you every single day, every single day
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: somebody asks me if I'm going to run for mayor.
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: Every day. And Bruce keeps telling anybody who wants to listen,
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: not if, when I beat Kathy Hochul and I become governor,
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: I want Sid to be the mayor. No disrespect to
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: the countless other people who have talked about running or
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: may run. But he keeps bringing it up. You notice that, Noam, right?
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: I'm not bringing it up.
• 11:15
  Speaker 12: He is.
• 11:16
  Speaker 7: Every time he's asked about it, yeah.
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: Sometimes he brings it up unprovoked.
• 11:20
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: So Blakeman wants to get that done. I got to
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: tell you, I got the bug a little bit. You know,
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: when you spend the whole day at the White House
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: and you're in and around all these politicians and they
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: treat you as well as the president of the United States.
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: I'm not exaggerating. I'm being honest. I got the bug, man.
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: You know? People asking me every day in New York, Ron,
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: help us, save us, help us. You know, I made
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: that speech last week, last Saturday night for the cops,
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: the New York pipes and drums at the theater at
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: Madison Square Garden. What a great night. Great night. People
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: in the audience there were screaming out, run for mayor.
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: But when you spend the whole day at the White House.
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: And you spent time on the same day with the
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: Vice President of the United States and the President of
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: the United States. And they're both telling you how great
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: you are, which, of course, is their job. I get that. But,
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: you know, you start getting the bug, you know.
• 12:19
  Speaker 7: You felt a little pumped afterwards.
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: Real pumped. Real pumped. So here's how the day goes.
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: It's been... public the last couple of days that I
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: was meeting with the Vice President J.D. Vance. Most people
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: liked it, even Jewish people that have their issues with Vance,
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: and there are plenty of those, liked it, said, okay, Sid,
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: you're a great voice for America first, America first. That's right,
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: Alex Jones, dickhead, General Mike Blaine, America first, but also
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: the Jewish people and Israel. You're the right guy for this. Okay,
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: thank you very much. Some were very angry, no. Some
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: were like, oh, come on, you're a sellout. Like some
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: idiot this morning on Twitter, Matthew Brodsky, who no one's
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: ever heard of, is like, oh, you enjoyed your day
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: being used like a little bitch? No, I wasn't used
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: like a little bitch, you dumb bastard. I knew what
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: I was getting myself into when I went. Believe me,
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: there are some very, very big names, very big, Jewish
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: and not, that were skeptical about this meeting. You know that, no?
• 13:28
  Speaker 7: Yeah, there was a lot of people, actually.
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: A lot of very skeptical people. So I started getting
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: text messages, like hundreds, hundreds, you name it. Levine, Hannity,
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: Ina Vernico, Siggy Flicker, Stella Escobedo, Laura Loomer, Lee Zeldin
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: called me on the train yesterday, Mike Lawler. And everybody
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: had their own opinion about what I should and or
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: shouldn't say. And almost everybody said the same thing. Look,
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: when you get J.D. alone in there, there are two
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: things you really have to go after. One is his
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: relationship with Tucker Carlson. Duh.
• 14:06
  Speaker 12: Okay.
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: And the other is this kind of not so great relationship.
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: relationship with Israel. Again, he used that word subservient two
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: days ago, the United States subservient to Israel. Also, just
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: a couple of days removed from saying that President Trump
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: is about ready to say bye-bye to Bibi. You know,
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: he said that too, Noah, if you know that. Yeah.
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: So there's a lot out there that people are upset about.
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: So the show ends yesterday, and I meet my beautiful wife, Danielle,
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: at the Moynihan train station. And we hop on the
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: 1030 from New York to Washington, D.C. He passed by Philly.
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: I screamed, hey, Ava, it's daddy. And about three hours later,
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: maybe three and a half was delayed a little bit,
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: about two o'clock in the afternoon, we arrived in Washington, D.C.
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: And that time of the day, the trip from the
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: Union Station, that's what their train station is called, to
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: the White House is about Fifteen minutes. Some traffic that
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: time of the day, you know. And we had a
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: meet on the corner of, was it Constitution Ave? I forget.
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: I know it was Northwest 17th Avenue. Anyway, we get there,
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: and sure enough, a couple of members of the vice
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: president's team, Ella, sweet girl named Ella was the one
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: who met us outside. She meets us at the security
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: gate outside. There are two security gates as we make
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: our way towards the west wing of the White House,
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: you know. It's already cool, isn't it?
• 15:43
  Speaker 8: Already.
• 15:43
  Speaker 7: It is very cool.
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: So we walk into the West Wing of the White House,
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: and then we meet up with Will Martin. He's the
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: guy that works with J.D. Vance's team. He's the guy
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: that got my number from Lee Zeldin in Las Vegas
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: two weeks ago. He's the guy that contacted me weeks
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: ago and said, I don't know who told you J.D.
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: doesn't want to meet you. Nothing could be further from
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: the truth. We want to meet you. We are willing
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: to set up a day in Washington, D.C. That was
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: the guy, Will Martin, okay? No relation to Margo Martin,
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: who spells her name the same exact way, and Margo,
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: who's beautiful. I met her for the first time yesterday.
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: I feel like I know her for 100 years because
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: every time I book President Trump, I go through Margo.
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: Once in a while, I'll text the president myself, but
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: usually it's Margo. So I met her. I've seen her
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: on Instagram a thousand times, TV. Really beautiful girl. And
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: she works for President Trump. So Martin runs Vance's team,
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: and Margo Martin is pretty much in charge of Trump's team,
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: but they're not related. So Will Martin brings me and
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: Danielle in, and he brings us upstairs, and I guess
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: the vice president was on the phone or something. I
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: don't know. So we're sitting in this really lovely, you know,
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: I guess... Lobby, waiting room, I don't know. Everything there
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: is so plush and beautiful. No, it really is.
• 17:04
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I bet.
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: I've never been to the West Wing. I was only
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: in the East Wing of the White House. And most
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: of you people, if you have visited the White House,
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: the East Wing is as far as you get.
• 17:15
  Speaker 7: Yeah, that's the tour.
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: That's the tour and the Hanukkah party last year where
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: very famously President Trump called me up on stage. Remember
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: all that? Me, Mark Levin, Liz Pipko, Miriam Adelson, that's
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: all in the East Wing. So most of you people,
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: if you've been to the White House, you've been to
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: the East Wing. Very few of you have been to
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: the West Wing. That's where you get bitten it going down,
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: bitten it. So we're all waiting, and then Will comes out.
• 17:42
  Speaker 7: Did they offer you anything to drink or anything?
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: Diet Coke. Oh, really? And let me say this, the
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: coldest Diet Coke I've ever had. It was just delicious,
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: and I was so thirsty.
• 17:52
  Speaker 18: Well, it better be cold if you're going to the
• 17:54
  Speaker 18: White House.
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: It was so cold and so great. So then Will
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: comes out with Nick Luna, who I mentioned yesterday. Nick
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: is a guy that the Trump circles know very well.
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: He worked with President Trump for the better part of
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: eight years. Nick's grandfather, Fred Thompson, remember the rep out
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: of Indiana? TV show, the whole thing, Fred Thompson? That's
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: Nick Luna's grandfather. And Nick Luna's wife happens to be
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: Jared Kushner's chief of staff. Very taboo.
• 18:25
  Speaker 7: Yeah, that's a lot of connections.
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: So Nick is now J.D. Vance's chief of staff as
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: of the last, like, two months. He's relatively new in
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: that position. Great guy. Good-looking guy. Let me say this.
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: In that meeting with the vice president, it wasn't just
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: him and I. It was about six people. And everybody
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: was young and everybody was good looking. Except for me,
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: I'm old and good looking. So Stan and, not Stan,
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: excuse me, Will Martin and Nick Luna walked me into
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: the meeting. Danielle waited in the lobby.
• 18:56
  Speaker 16: Now, is your heart pumping at this point? Do you
• 18:59
  Speaker 16: get a little nervous that you're, you know, here you are.
• 19:01
  Speaker 16: You're in the West Wing and now you're about to
• 19:03
  Speaker 16: have essentially a one-on-one off-the-record meeting with the Vice President.
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, a little bit. I'm not going to lie to
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: you because I don't know him. I never met him.
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: We never really spoke. You know, we've been in the
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: same room a million times, but I'm close with the president.
• 19:17
  Speaker 16: So as you're walking down, is your hand like a
• 19:19
  Speaker 16: little sweaty? Are you wiping it off on your jacket sleeve?
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: A little bit. Yeah. A little bit. But, you know,
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: I remember when I first started doing radio, for example,
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: I was always nervous, you know, especially with Imus. Imus
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: made me really nervous and anxious and uncomfortable almost every morning.
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: And when I was a guest with Howard Stern for
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: the first time, 45 minutes with Audie Lang and Robin,
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: that whole crew, very, very nervous. And I would get
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: that hand sweat. I had a little bit of that yesterday.
• 19:48
  Speaker 19: Yeah, I bet.
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: A little bit. But as soon as I entered the
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: room and J.D. got up to shake my hand, which
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: ended up in a nice little bro hug, that nervousness
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: was gone.
• 19:59
  Speaker 7: Oh, so he gave you a little bit of a hug?
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: Oh, more than once. I would say we probably hugged
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: each other three or four times.
• 20:05
  Speaker 7: And that, like, initial hug was three or four times?
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: No, no, throughout the meeting. Yeah. Okay. But the first
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: hug was very friendly and very nice, and he ends
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: up sitting right next to me. Now, you guys know
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: me very well, Noam and Justin. Lou, of course, he's
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: not here, but you guys know me very well, and
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: I'm a very handsy guy. Yeah. So when you sit
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: next to me, If you say something funny, there's a
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: good chance I'm going to slap you in the knee,
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: you know?
• 20:29
  Speaker 20: Right.
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: Or I'm going to grab your arm if I'm talking
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: to you face-to-face when I point my finger in your face.
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: And J.D. sat right next to me. And all those
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: things happen, mind you. Okay? Hands all over him, the
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: whole thing, like I've known him for 25 years. And
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: he sat down. The first thing he says to me,
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: the first thing is, you know, Donald Jr. loves you.
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: I said, really? Now, if you don't know this... Donald
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: Trump Jr. and J.D. Vance are best buddies. In fact,
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: legend has it that it was Jr. who convinced his
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: father to pick J.D. as the vice president. That's right, right.
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: First thing he says, I go, you know, that's great,
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: because honestly, I'm closer with Eric and Laura. He goes,
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: I know, I know. He goes, but Jr. loves you. Now,
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: when the meeting was over... And then the other night
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: I went to Capitol Grill. I did text Donald Trump Jr.
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: And he doesn't always get back to me, okay? He
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: got back to me in two seconds. I said, I
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: met your friend J.D. I sat with him. I like
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: the guy. I like him. And I look forward to
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: working with him. And two seconds later, Donald Trump Jr.
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: got right back to me, okay? So that's the first
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: thing he says to me. And then we go on
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: to have what I would say is about a 20
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: to 25-minute conversation.
• 21:49
  Speaker 7: So what's the first topic? Do you start or does
• 21:51
  Speaker 7: he start?
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: I will say this. If I had to, I didn't
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: do this, but in the 25-minute conversation with seven people
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: in the room, most of the conversation led by me
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: and J.D., of those 25 minutes, somewhere about the 17-minute
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: mark is how much time I spent talking.
• 22:10
  Speaker 7: Oh, you're kidding. Okay.
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: Oh, man, I ran this thing, and it was laughs.
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: I'm telling you, Noam, laugh after laugh after laugh.
• 22:19
  Speaker 16: I'm not surprised by that, but what did you talk
• 22:21
  Speaker 16: to him about? I know you were going to charm him.
• 22:24
  Speaker 16: That I wasn't worried about, but would it.
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: Mind you, he charmed me, too. Yeah. Although the New
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: York Post, it's funny, I did an interview with John
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: and Rita afterwards, the great Katz and Cosby show. I
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: was in the train station trying to get home, and
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: I made the point that while Vance was charming, that
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: I charmed him more. So this kid, Josh Christensen, I
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: don't know him. No idea who he is. He writes
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: his big story, which is still in today's New York Post.
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: When you go to nypost.com, it's still there. He put
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: it up yesterday afternoon. It's still there. And the headline,
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: I know you saw this, Noam. The actual headline of
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: the New York Post story says that I charmed J.D. Vance.
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: I saw that. Sid Rosenberg charmed Vance at White House
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: meeting to mend fences with Jewish conservatives. And then it
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: goes on to say Rosenberg jokingly told Vance, John and
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: Rita thought he charmed Vance. Vance definitely is a charming, likable,
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: affable guy. And he loved me. He said, you're so
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: New York. You know, he just loved it. Thought I
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: was smart and funny the whole time.
• 23:30
  Speaker 16: So 17 minutes, at some point, you want to make
• 23:32
  Speaker 16: a point. I know that you are joking. You're sucking
• 23:34
  Speaker 16: them in with your personality. But you were there to
• 23:37
  Speaker 16: do a job, no?
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: Well, it depends who you talk to. You know, I
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: think the J.D. Vance people, for example, Chris Sommerfeld, who
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: used to write for the New York Daily News, wrote
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: a big story in Politico yesterday that Sid Rosenberg is
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: going to the White House to grill J.D. Vance about
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: Tucker Carlson and his stance on Israel and all that stuff.
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: And then the J.D. Vance people actually reached out to
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: Chris Sommerfeld and said, whoa, whoa, whoa, slow down, slow down.
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: You know, we wanted to get to meet Sid in
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: Las Vegas. It didn't happen. We were hoping to see
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: Sid in Dallas. It didn't happen. We really want the
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: vice president and Sid to have a relationship. So we
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: wanted to make sure the two of them got together ASAP,
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: and we decided that his office in D.C. would be
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: the best place. So they were making it very, very clear.
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: This was a, hey, now, get to know your meeting,
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: not some drilling of J.D. on his stance. You see
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: what I'm saying?
• 24:38
  Speaker 16: Well, no, you have to be respectful, but you did
• 24:41
  Speaker 16: have some points you wanted to drive home.
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: I did.
• 24:45
  Speaker 7: So how did it go? Tell me exactly what you said.
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: No. Why not? No, I'm not going to do that.
• 24:51
  Speaker 9: Why?
• 24:51
  Speaker 7: Did you promise him you wouldn't talk about it?
• 24:52
  Speaker 14: I did.
• 24:54
  Speaker 7: You actually said that. You said, I won't talk about
• 24:55
  Speaker 7: the conversation.
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: It wasn't no one said to me, don't talk about anything.
• 24:59
  Speaker 7: Okay, give us a little bit of it. I mean,
• 25:01
  Speaker 7: you sat there for 25 minutes. Yeah.
• 25:03
  Speaker 16: Did you talk about? his stance on the Middle East,
• 25:08
  Speaker 16: Israel in particular?
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: I'll tell you this. Here's what I will tell you.
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: He made it very, very clear, J.D. Vance, that this
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: is just the beginning of this relationship. Stay in touch.
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: Meeting again very, very soon. I mean, very soon. And eventually,
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: every topic that all the Jews are concerned about with Vance...
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: will be discussed. I am not going to hold back.
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: I liked them yesterday.
• 25:38
  Speaker 12: I did.
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: It doesn't matter. I've got a job to do. I
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: feel obligated to represent America, New York, the Jewish people.
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: And that doesn't take a backseat to anybody. So in
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: terms of specifically what we discussed yesterday, I'm not going
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: to go there. But I will tell you this, that
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: the overwhelming majority of the conversation, the overwhelming majority, had
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: nothing to do with any of that. But all of
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: that is on the table for our next conversation, which
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: is coming up, just trust me, very, very soon.
• 26:16
  Speaker 16: Well, I thought that was a good strategy going in,
• 26:19
  Speaker 16: that this is just a buddy-buddy meeting to introduce yourself.
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: Good strategy for both of us, because if I don't
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: gain the trust of the vice president... Then I'm done.
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: Just like I did with President Trump. I mean, you
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: people out there think you know what you're doing. You
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: have no idea what you're doing. I know what I'm doing. Okay?
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: I'm the guy, when you go to my Twitter account
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: this morning... that is standing there next to President Trump,
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: both of us with huge smiles on our face in
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: the Oval Office, okay? I'm the guy that President Trump
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: treats as well as anybody. I'm the guy that got
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: a video from Bibi Netanyahu three days ago and is
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: going with Bibi in all likelihood next Thursday to the U.N.
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: I'm the guy that the Vice President reached out to,
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: not the other way around. So stop telling me how
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: to do this. And to your point, Norm, you're exactly right.
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: I had to gain his trust. He had to gain
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: my trust. Before you start slamming the guy and going
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: places where he doesn't want to go, but he will go,
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: he will go, just like Trump does with me, if
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: you establish some trust. The problem with a lot of
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: guys on radio, and I'll say this about my ex-partner,
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: God rest his soul, I miss him every day. I
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: love him, but he just wouldn't care. And people would
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: be like, yeah, way to go, Bernie, and it didn't work.
• 27:36
  Speaker 7: It would be a one-time meeting.
• 27:37
  Speaker 16: If you went in there and started lecturing the vice president,
• 27:39
  Speaker 16: first of all, he's the vice president of the United States.
• 27:41
  Speaker 7: You can't do that.
• 27:42
  Speaker 16: So if you did that, it would have been a
• 27:44
  Speaker 16: one-time meeting. And that may not have even lasted 25 minutes.
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: And what good is that? I'm looking at two things here. A,
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: it's good to have a relationship with the vice president
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: to begin with. B, there are issues. And C, until
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: Marco Rubio says, I'm in, right now, J.D. Vance is
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: the leader in the clubhouse. In other words, if Marco
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: Rubio decides not to run, President Trump does enough to
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: anoint J.D.
• 28:10
  Speaker 12: Vance.
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: I don't care if DeSantis runs, if Ted Cruz runs,
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: if the guy from Ohio, what's his name, Glenn Youngkin runs.
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: It doesn't matter to me. He will beat them all
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: and beat them all easily. The only guy I believe,
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: Josh Hawley can't beat him, Haley, the only guy that
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: I think can beat him and will still be the
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: underdog still is Rubio. But until Rubio texts me or
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: tells somebody he's running, J.D. Vance is the guy. And
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: I'm a Republican. I'm MAGA. I'm loyal to Trump. I'm
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: loyal to this administration. I'm also loyal to Israel. So,
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: you know, Vance has to do some things, say some
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: things that'll make a lot of the folks that I
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: care about happy. But I'm not out there to endorse AOC.
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: I'm not out there to endorse Gavin Newsom or Kamala Harris.
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: We've been over this. So right now, J.D. Vance has
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: my attention. And to your point, Norman, you're very, very smart.
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: All kidding aside, you really are. If you go in there, yeah,
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: but what about? Yeah, it'll be a one and done.
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: That's it. That's it. That's not what I was looking
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: to accomplish yesterday. I don't do that on the air.
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: You guys notice that. I mean, how many times did
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: people get angry with me because I didn't tell Eric Adams,
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: you've got blood on your hands, so go kill yourself.
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: And it turned out to be great. Because until I
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: did do that, which I eventually did do, just like
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: eventually Trump lost his patience with Tucker, I lost my
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: patience with Eric. But he was on 20 times, and
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: the ratings were great every single time. time is that
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: not you know that is absolutely true great so that's
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: how this game works and when i say game when
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: i tell you that i like the guy i'm being
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: genuine he's a likable guy now that doesn't mean he
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: didn't snow me maybe he did That doesn't mean he
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: wasn't conning me. Maybe he was. Doesn't mean he's not
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: using me. Maybe he is. But guess what? I'm using him.
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: All right? If you want to play that game, I'm
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: using him too. Because, again, to have a good relationship
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: with a man who's second in charge and a guy
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: that right now is a leader in the clubhouse to
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: be the next president of the United States makes a
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: little bit of sense. There's a reason why this show...
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: You know, I'm in one market. You guys know that, right?
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: There are shows on this station, Greg Kelly's in like
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: 30 markets, and John is maybe, I don't even know
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: the numbers, but they're syndicated radio programs. They're on in
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: other cities across America. Now, of course, with the iPhone,
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: you can download our app, which millions of people have done, millions,
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: the free 77 WABC app, and I've got more listeners
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: around the country. In an honest conversation, the syndicated shows.
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: I do. I know I do. Florida, Israel, everywhere. But
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: the truth is, I'm not syndicated. I'm in one market. Now,
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: it's the biggest market. It's New York City. We still
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: lead the media world by leaps and bounds. But there's
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: no real logical explanation why a morning show, an a.m.
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: morning show in this city would have this much power
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: and influence, even with my talent. But it's because I
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: know what I'm doing. And now J.D. Vance likes Sid Rosenberg.
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: Sid Rosenberg likes J.D.
• 31:30
  Speaker 8: Vance.
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: I don't like everything he says. Not even close. And
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: it's going to come to a time very, very soon.
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: I'm going to let him know that. But as it
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: turned out, yesterday was not the day for that. If
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: you're disappointed, all I'm going to say to you is
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: you don't get it. Right, Norm?
• 31:47
  Speaker 7: Well, let me ask this. Okay, so you're in this
• 31:49
  Speaker 7: meeting for... You say about 25 minutes.
• 31:51
  Speaker 12: That's right.
• 31:52
  Speaker 7: What's the move for him to end the meeting? He
• 31:54
  Speaker 7: doesn't do it, right? Like an aide steps in and
• 31:56
  Speaker 7: says it's time to.
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: 100%. This is definitely a setup. So, you know, before
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: the meeting, you probably said, hey, do me a favor, okay?
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: Kind of like a mob movie. Right. About 20 minutes in,
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: walk in and say, hey, you got a phone call. Right.
• 32:07
  Speaker 7: Exactly.
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: So, because the time was so inopportune, we were having
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: such a good time. I mean, laughing. I was killing them, though.
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: I believe that. Michael Rappaport would have been proud of me.
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: I could have been on stage at Caroline's and gotten
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: less laughs. I was killing them. And, yes, a girl
• 32:23
  Speaker 2: walks in and goes, Mr. Vice President. I'm like, no,
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: I can go. No, no, no, no.
• 32:27
  Speaker 12: Sit here.
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: So that's how that ends.
• 32:29
  Speaker 7: There's a mullah on the phone.
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: Right, there's a mullah. That's right. Tucker Carlson's on the phone. Right.
• 32:35
  Speaker 7: That would have been funny.
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: J.D., you got shit in your office? Get the hell
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: out of there.
• 32:38
  Speaker 12: Right.
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: Tucker's on the phone.
• 32:40
  Speaker 7: So this is when the hugging continues? There's four more hugs.
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: Between the time? Now there's like a real hug at
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: the end of this. And I'll tell you what his
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: last words were. You ready? Let's please keep in touch.
• 32:50
  Speaker 12: Huh?
• 32:51
  Speaker 7: Did he give you his cell phone number?
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: I can't tell you that.
• 32:54
  Speaker 12: Can't tell you that.
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: But let's please keep in touch. And then I exit.
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: This is the funny part. I exit and I go
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: into a different room, which is situated in between J.D.
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: Vance's office and President Trump's Oval Office. Beautiful room. Mind you,
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: Maria Bartiromo walked out when I was there.
• 33:13
  Speaker 7: Oh, you're kidding.
• 33:14
  Speaker 11: Yeah.
• 33:15
  Speaker 7: Walked out of the Oval Office or a office?
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: An office in that lobby section. And we didn't have
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: a chance to talk, but she was there. That's all
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: I know. I know nothing else.
• 33:26
  Speaker 3: But.
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: Did she see you? No, but I saw her. So
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: I'm sitting there with Danielle, and I realize, I go, oh,
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: I never got a picture with J.D. So I do
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: something you're not supposed to do. You are not allowed
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: to walk anywhere in that section of the White House
• 33:42
  Speaker 2: without somebody accompanying you. I mean, Secret Service will literally
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: shoot you. Oh, man, if I got a picture, I
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: literally get up, walk out the door, and walk back
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: to J.D. Vance's office.
• 33:54
  Speaker 7: And was the door open or closed?
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: Well, the doors are open, but the Secret Service guy
• 33:58
  Speaker 2: goes to Danielle. He goes, excuse me, where's he going?
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: She goes, I have no idea. That's my husband. I
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: don't know. That's what he does. He just goes, well,
• 34:06
  Speaker 2: he can't just walk out of this office. And they
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: start to go get me, you know. At that point,
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: I'm already in Vance's office. I'm like, hey, I want
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: to grab a picture with the vice president. Well, it's like, yeah, yeah, yeah,
• 34:16
  Speaker 2: he's on the phone right now. He's doing a radio show.
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: We'll do it afterwards. I walk back to where my
• 34:20
  Speaker 2: wife is sitting, and she goes, you realize you just
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: pissed off this whole place. I go, why? You can't
• 34:26
  Speaker 2: just walk out. You've got to tell somebody. I'm like, yeah,
• 34:29
  Speaker 2: no big deal. They'll get over it. So I go back.
• 34:32
  Speaker 2: I sit next to Daniela. Maybe about ten minutes later,
• 34:34
  Speaker 2: Jay Clayton comes walking by.
• 34:37
  Speaker 12: Oh, really?
• 34:38
  Speaker 2: Jay Clayton. He loves John Katz and Matides. Now he
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: loves me. I said, I'm the guy that does the
• 34:43
  Speaker 2: morning show, the big star. He knew exactly who I was. He,
• 34:46
  Speaker 2: of course, replaced Tulsi Gabbard in charge of D &
• 34:49
  Speaker 2: I now. Former attorney here from New York. Great guy.
• 34:53
  Speaker 2: Great guy. And he's walking through. And then Margo Martin,
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: the beautiful Margo, comes out and says, the president is
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: ready for you. So I've seen the president a million times,
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: but my beautiful wife, Danielle, never has.
• 35:07
  Speaker 12: Never.
• 35:08
  Speaker 2: So she started getting those wet palms that you're talking about.
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: You know, she got nervous. Of course. And we go
• 35:14
  Speaker 2: to the next room, which is the couch, literally right
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: outside the door of the Oval Office. And who walks out?
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: Mark Wayne Mullins. Oh, no. The head of Homeland Security.
• 35:24
  Speaker 2: And I get up, and I go, Mark Wayne, Sid Rosenberg,
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: you're doing a great job. He had the little ball
• 35:29
  Speaker 2: with him he always carries, the little Spalding ball he
• 35:31
  Speaker 2: uses and, you know, kind of presses it. And I
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: grabbed his arm. I go, I've got to tell you, man,
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: you really are big in real life. He grabs my arm.
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: He's like, man, what about you? And now it's totally gay.
• 35:44
  Speaker 2: He's touching me. I'm touching him. He's the head of
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: Homeland Security. We're touching each other's arms like we're in
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: a Roman bathhouse in Brighton Beach, you know. Russian bathhouse,
• 35:53
  Speaker 2: I should say. So anyway, we're getting along great, Mark Lane,
• 35:56
  Speaker 2: and we're talking, him and I, and blah. And then
• 35:58
  Speaker 2: Margot comes out and said, please come in. And I
• 36:01
  Speaker 2: walk in with my wife.
• 36:04
  Speaker 13: And.
• 36:05
  Speaker 2: This Oval Office, I know John's been in there, he's
• 36:08
  Speaker 2: listening right now, and Rita, maybe Greg too, is the
• 36:12
  Speaker 2: most beautiful. It's just, it's huge. Paintings of like every president.
• 36:20
  Speaker 2: It's gold. It's bright. It's flags everywhere, patriotic. It is
• 36:27
  Speaker 2: the most gorgeous, unbelievable office you've ever seen in your
• 36:31
  Speaker 2: whole life. And I've met President Trump and seen him
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: a million times. But to be in that office, the
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: Oval Office, was nothing short of spectacular. Huge deals.
• 36:44
  Speaker 7: Now, when you walk in, is he sitting at the desk,
• 36:46
  Speaker 7: the president?
• 36:47
  Speaker 2: He's standing on his cell phone yelling at somebody about
• 36:49
  Speaker 2: the filibuster.
• 36:51
  Speaker 7: And who else is in there?
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: Cursing. There's two other people there. Some lady is sitting
• 36:55
  Speaker 2: there typing. She must be like the court stenographer.
• 36:58
  Speaker 12: I don't know.
• 36:59
  Speaker 2: And he stops on the phone. He goes, oh, look
• 37:01
  Speaker 2: who's here. My favorite radio guy in the whole country.
• 37:04
  Speaker 2: This guy's the best. He's my favorite, Sid Rosenberg. Then
• 37:07
  Speaker 2: he goes right back. Well, what about the damn filibuster?
• 37:10
  Speaker 2: And he's going on and on. And the other guys
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: are standing there like, oh, my God, this is fantastic.
• 37:15
  Speaker 2: And then he hangs up the phone and calls us over.
• 37:18
  Speaker 2: He had never met Danielle before. He said, well, pretty. Boy,
• 37:20
  Speaker 2: you are pretty. How long are you married? 34 years.
• 37:23
  Speaker 9: Wow.
• 37:23
  Speaker 2: How about that, Sid, huh? He goes, Danielle, he goes,
• 37:26
  Speaker 2: he still looks pretty good, huh? Yeah, pretty good. And
• 37:29
  Speaker 2: then we talk about a few other things. He brought
• 37:32
  Speaker 2: up Iran with me. He brought up Randy Levine and
• 37:35
  Speaker 2: the Yankees working on the college sports deal with me.
• 37:38
  Speaker 2: A few other things I'm not going to talk about here.
• 37:40
  Speaker 2: But then we took those great pictures. You can see
• 37:42
  Speaker 2: the picture of me and the president on my– Twitter account,
• 37:47
  Speaker 2: at SidRosenberg19, or my Facebook account, SidRosenberg. My Instagram account
• 37:52
  Speaker 2: is still gone. It's hacked. They hacked it, and it's disappeared.
• 37:56
  Speaker 2: Literally disappeared. I'm trying to get it back this morning.
• 37:59
  Speaker 2: Hopefully it will be back, but you can still see
• 38:00
  Speaker 2: the picture on Twitter and Facebook of me and the president.
• 38:04
  Speaker 16: Now, the stopwatch is going. How long do you think
• 38:06
  Speaker 16: you were in... The Oval Office with the president.
• 38:09
  Speaker 2: Oh, good amount of time. Over 10 minutes.
• 38:10
  Speaker 7: Well, that's a lot.
• 38:11
  Speaker 2: That's a lot.
• 38:11
  Speaker 7: This busy guy's, you know, everybody wants his attention.
• 38:14
  Speaker 2: In and out of that office, Jay Clayton, Mark Wayne Mullen,
• 38:17
  Speaker 2: Sid Rosenberg. He's on the phone. I mean, he's just
• 38:20
  Speaker 2: he's always busy. So to get that amount of time
• 38:23
  Speaker 2: was surprising to me. I even said to him, I said,
• 38:25
  Speaker 2: I just hung out with J.D. for the first time.
• 38:28
  Speaker 9: Oh, yeah.
• 38:28
  Speaker 2: What do you think? Nice kid. Yeah, it's a great guy.
• 38:31
  Speaker 2: So all these little conversations are going on with me
• 38:34
  Speaker 2: and the president. It's great. Then he gives you the pen.
• 38:36
  Speaker 2: You know, he signs something, gives you the pen. He
• 38:38
  Speaker 2: gives you the gold coin. I've got 10 of those already.
• 38:41
  Speaker 2: And that was it. You know, thank you, Mr. President.
• 38:44
  Speaker 2: And I gave him a hug and I touched him
• 38:46
  Speaker 2: and I shook his hand and I'm all over him.
• 38:48
  Speaker 2: In fact, even in the picture, you can see when
• 38:50
  Speaker 2: people take a picture with Trump, they stand to his side.
• 38:53
  Speaker 2: He sits in the chair. Well, that was the same
• 38:56
  Speaker 2: case yesterday. But you can see my hand is on
• 38:59
  Speaker 2: his back.
• 38:59
  Speaker 16: I did notice that because I imagine people don't normally
• 39:02
  Speaker 16: touch the president.
• 39:03
  Speaker 2: No, they distance themselves. They stand on the side. He
• 39:05
  Speaker 2: sits there and smiles. I'm all over him, touching his knee,
• 39:08
  Speaker 2: touching his arm, touching his hand. And he just was
• 39:13
  Speaker 2: so inviting and so beautiful. And it worked out great.
• 39:16
  Speaker 2: And once that meeting was over, we exited the building,
• 39:19
  Speaker 2: left the West Wing of the White House, took an
• 39:22
  Speaker 2: Uber for about five minutes to Capitol Grill. and made
• 39:26
  Speaker 2: our way back to Penn Station in New York City.
• 39:28
  Speaker 2: I got about two hours sleep. That's about it. But
• 39:31
  Speaker 2: there is your day.
• 39:32
  Speaker 20: Wow.
• 39:32
  Speaker 7: What a thrilling day. Unbelievable.
• 39:35
  Speaker 16: And by the way, I will point out, I was
• 39:37
  Speaker 16: sitting back here nervous because I had tied your.
• 39:40
  Speaker 7: Tie for you.
• 39:41
  Speaker 2: And let me say this.
• 39:42
  Speaker 16: And I wanted to make sure the knot was perfect.
• 39:44
  Speaker 16: We really, you know, tried to make sure that it
• 39:46
  Speaker 16: looked perfect.
• 39:46
  Speaker 2: Let me say this. I got a lot of compliments
• 39:48
  Speaker 2: on the tie. Oh, you did?
• 39:49
  Speaker 15: Okay.
• 39:49
  Speaker 2: I really did. And even John Katzmatidi sent out a
• 39:52
  Speaker 2: text last night, a group text, to Chad and Margo
• 39:55
  Speaker 2: and a bunch of us saying, oh, my God, Sid's
• 39:57
  Speaker 2: wearing a tie because I never wear ties. Never, ever, ever.
• 40:01
  Speaker 7: And you don't know how to tie one.
• 40:02
  Speaker 2: I don't even know how to do it. I had
• 40:03
  Speaker 2: to do it. You did such a great job.
• 40:04
  Speaker 13: Oh, good.
• 40:05
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 40:05
  Speaker 16: I was nervous that, you know, somehow it was going
• 40:07
  Speaker 16: to get undone on the way down.
• 40:08
  Speaker 2: You saw the picture of me and the president. Yeah,
• 40:10
  Speaker 2: it looks great. I got the dark blue suit, the
• 40:12
  Speaker 2: red tie, white shirt, tan, looking great. He looks great.
• 40:15
  Speaker 2: He always looks great. But you did a magnificent job
• 40:18
  Speaker 2: with the tie. Unbelievable. Unbelievable job with the tie.
• 40:22
  Speaker 16: So you walk out of the Oval Office and then
• 40:25
  Speaker 16: someone walks you out of the building.
• 40:26
  Speaker 2: Then, yes, Will Martin from J.D. Vance's office. Everybody said goodbye.
• 40:30
  Speaker 2: Margo Martin, again, lovely, so nice. And they walk you.
• 40:33
  Speaker 2: You know, you have to put your cell phone in
• 40:36
  Speaker 2: a little locker when you walk into the West when
• 40:38
  Speaker 2: you can't take your cell phone with you.
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 40:40
  Speaker 2: So we had to go downstairs, and it's right by
• 40:42
  Speaker 2: the exit, grab our cell phones and our keys, that
• 40:45
  Speaker 2: type of thing, and then left. We walked a little bit,
• 40:48
  Speaker 2: got a car to Capitol Grill, and ended up at
• 40:50
  Speaker 2: Penn Station. Eddie Erickson, who used to produce the Mike
• 40:53
  Speaker 2: and the Mad Dog show on the fan, he sends
• 40:55
  Speaker 2: me a text, I'm on the train going home, and
• 40:58
  Speaker 2: he said, boy, long way from talking Mets, dot, dot, dot.
• 41:03
  Speaker 2: Sid Rosenberg charms J.D.
• 41:05
  Speaker 19: Vance.
• 41:05
  Speaker 2: I go, who the hell told you that? No one
• 41:07
  Speaker 2: knows about this. I'm on the train. He goes, Sid,
• 41:10
  Speaker 2: it's in the New York Post. That's a story I
• 41:12
  Speaker 2: mentioned earlier, and that story is still in the New
• 41:16
  Speaker 2: York Post online, which is a pretty long stay for
• 41:20
  Speaker 2: a story like that, you know. And usually your name
• 41:23
  Speaker 2: is not in the title of the story, but in
• 41:26
  Speaker 2: this case, this kid Josh Christensen put my name right
• 41:29
  Speaker 2: there in the title. So you click, you go to NewYorkPost.com
• 41:32
  Speaker 2: this morning, and boom! You see Sid Rosenberg right away.
• 41:35
  Speaker 2: It's pretty cool.
• 41:36
  Speaker 16: Do you think, because I'm looking at the picture of
• 41:37
  Speaker 16: the two of you in the Oval Office, the president
• 41:39
  Speaker 16: and you, do you think he's jealous of your tan?
• 41:42
  Speaker 16: Because I'm looking at you, and you definitely have a better.
• 41:44
  Speaker 2: Tan than the president.
• 41:45
  Speaker 7: Oh, I got a better tan.
• 41:46
  Speaker 13: He has one going.
• 41:47
  Speaker 2: I know. Well, he's got the, he plays golf, so
• 41:50
  Speaker 2: he gets a lot of color, the president. He's got
• 41:52
  Speaker 2: a tanning bed. But this poor guy, he's working his
• 41:54
  Speaker 2: ass off. I think they're already getting ready. In fact,
• 41:57
  Speaker 2: at one point on that phone call, he mentioned the
• 41:59
  Speaker 2: state dinner. Robert was on the phone. He said, I'll
• 42:01
  Speaker 2: see you there. So they're getting ready for this huge
• 42:04
  Speaker 2: state dinner with President Xi from China for next week.
• 42:07
  Speaker 2: This guy, his days are ridiculous. I mean, I'll give
• 42:11
  Speaker 2: you an example. That last week, Thursday, when I spoke
• 42:15
  Speaker 2: to the president in Dallas, okay, he was on stage
• 42:19
  Speaker 2: with J.D. Vance to end the midterm convention. You remember that? Yeah.
• 42:24
  Speaker 2: I think he got off stage about 11 o'clock. He
• 42:27
  Speaker 2: arrived 2.30 in the morning at the White House on Friday,
• 42:32
  Speaker 2: and the very next morning, which was 9-11, before 8 a.m.,
• 42:36
  Speaker 2: he was all dressed up at the Pentagon. I mean,
• 42:39
  Speaker 2: this guy literally works 19 hour days. Joe Biden spent
• 42:43
  Speaker 2: less time working for the month than Trump does in
• 42:46
  Speaker 2: a week.
• 42:46
  Speaker 7: Oh, absolutely.
• 42:47
  Speaker 2: In a week.
• 42:47
  Speaker 7: He's incredible. And, you know, people forget he's 80 years old.
• 42:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I don't know how.
• 42:52
  Speaker 16: Like at 60 or 59, you don't have that much energy.
• 42:56
  Speaker 2: Bro, I was exhausted yesterday. I mean, in the White House,
• 42:59
  Speaker 2: I was pumped up and I was great. I'm telling you,
• 43:01
  Speaker 2: I was great. I can do these jobs in two seconds.
• 43:05
  Speaker 2: As soon as I hit the train, it was over.
• 43:07
  Speaker 2: You were sleeping. Done. Finished. Until I noticed that sitting
• 43:11
  Speaker 2: about three rows behind me is Dick. What's his name
• 43:14
  Speaker 2: from Connecticut? Dick Blumenthal. Oh, he was. What a dick
• 43:17
  Speaker 2: he is.
• 43:18
  Speaker 7: Did you talk to him?
• 43:19
  Speaker 2: No, I hate his guts. Hate him. I hate that.
• 43:22
  Speaker 2: That guy's stolen Valerie. Said he served. He never served.
• 43:25
  Speaker 2: That's the worst thing you can do. That dumb son
• 43:28
  Speaker 2: of a bitch, Dick Blumenthal. And then Moishe Davis. You
• 43:31
  Speaker 2: know Moishe. He worked in Eric Adams' administration. He was
• 43:37
  Speaker 2: the only guy in the anti-Semite crew they had. He
• 43:41
  Speaker 2: walked up to me and Danielle because he was there
• 43:42
  Speaker 2: to present some bill to J.D. Vance. So a couple
• 43:46
  Speaker 2: of people on the train, but for the most part,
• 43:48
  Speaker 2: I just rested. I was finished. I was wiped out
• 43:51
  Speaker 2: because I got up at 2.30 in the morning yesterday
• 43:53
  Speaker 2: to shave and shower, be here by 5 to do
• 43:55
  Speaker 2: this show, and then did seven and a half hours
• 43:58
  Speaker 2: on a train back and forth, went in between, meeting
• 44:01
  Speaker 2: with Banz and Trump at the White House. That's a
• 44:03
  Speaker 2: long day, though.
• 44:04
  Speaker 7: It's a really long day. You know, I'm looking more— Well, he.
• 44:06
  Speaker 2: Does that every day, the president.
• 44:07
  Speaker 7: Oh, it's much longer than that.
• 44:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah.
• 44:10
  Speaker 7: He gets a little sleep.
• 44:10
  Speaker 16: I'm— What's fun of looking at this picture of you
• 44:13
  Speaker 16: and the president in the Oval Office is if you
• 44:15
  Speaker 16: sort of blow it up as you can, right? You
• 44:17
  Speaker 16: can see everything on his desk. There's like behind him,
• 44:20
  Speaker 16: there's a picture of his mother, picture of his family.
• 44:22
  Speaker 16: On the desk, there's a red button. I assume that's
• 44:25
  Speaker 16: the Diet Coke button. I can't imagine that's a nuke button.
• 44:28
  Speaker 2: That is not the nuke button, no.
• 44:30
  Speaker 16: The red button, there's a red button next to him, right?
• 44:32
  Speaker 16: Doesn't he have a Diet Coke button or at least
• 44:34
  Speaker 16: he used to?
• 44:35
  Speaker 2: I think that maybe it's kind of like the stewardess
• 44:38
  Speaker 2: button on the airplane.
• 44:39
  Speaker 7: Right, that they come in and whatever you want to drink.
• 44:40
  Speaker 7: Whatever you want to drink.
• 44:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah, basically.
• 44:42
  Speaker 16: And then he's got, it looks like, two or three telephones.
• 44:44
  Speaker 16: And then did you get one of these coffee books?
• 44:46
  Speaker 16: Because he has a bunch of.
• 44:48
  Speaker 2: I did. Oh, we got a book. We got a pen.
• 44:50
  Speaker 2: We got a coin. I mean, the guy, I couldn't
• 44:52
  Speaker 2: even carry this stuff. Thank you very much. I'm good.
• 44:55
  Speaker 2: Thank you. Thank you. I just want a picture. I
• 44:57
  Speaker 2: just want to say hello. I love you. Ended up
• 44:59
  Speaker 2: walking out with bags. And J.D. Vance gave us a
• 45:02
  Speaker 2: gift bag on the way out. So we have like
• 45:04
  Speaker 2: a J.D. Vance pin and pen, just like the president
• 45:07
  Speaker 2: has it. We got stuff everywhere.
• 45:10
  Speaker 7: That coffee table book looks pretty serious.
• 45:12
  Speaker 2: That is a bad-ass book right there. That's a bad-ass book.
• 45:16
  Speaker 2: What a day. Wow. What a day. What a day.
• 45:18
  Speaker 7: I don't know how you top that.
• 45:21
  Speaker 2: Well, you know how many times we've said on this
• 45:24
  Speaker 2: show in the last two years, I don't know how
• 45:27
  Speaker 2: you top that. I mean, just think about that.
• 45:28
  Speaker 7: It's true.
• 45:29
  Speaker 2: I mean, I'm serious. Chris Olivero, who runs all of
• 45:33
  Speaker 2: the Odyssey stations. Is it still Odyssey? I think it's
• 45:36
  Speaker 2: hard to see. I don't know. He runs FAN. He
• 45:38
  Speaker 2: runs 1010 Wins. He's a beautiful guy, one of my
• 45:41
  Speaker 2: best friends, and a very powerful guy on radio. He
• 45:44
  Speaker 2: sends me a text last night. He goes, at this point,
• 45:47
  Speaker 2: all kidding aside, your life's a movie. You go from
• 45:51
  Speaker 2: rehab and jail and all this stuff to now, to
• 45:54
  Speaker 2: where you are, because he had seen all this stuff
• 45:57
  Speaker 2: from yesterday, the Post article, the picture in the Oval Office.
• 46:01
  Speaker 2: And I said, you know, you sent me that same
• 46:04
  Speaker 2: exact text about six months ago. And he said, yeah,
• 46:07
  Speaker 2: you're right, I did. So we continue on this program
• 46:11
  Speaker 2: to do that.
• 46:12
  Speaker 7: You know, the only thing that would.
• 46:13
  Speaker 16: Cap it off would be if you were the next mayor.
• 46:18
  Speaker 16: Can you imagine you went from all that, sports, talk
• 46:22
  Speaker 16: show hosts, rehab, meeting the.
• 46:26
  Speaker 7: President, vice president, And then prime minister. And then prime minister.
• 46:30
  Speaker 2: Who I will probably be with in all likelihood, 99
• 46:33
  Speaker 2: percent at the U.N. next week.
• 46:35
  Speaker 12: Right.
• 46:36
  Speaker 2: And then I become the mayor of New York City.
• 46:38
  Speaker 7: Yeah, that that would be crazy.
• 46:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that would be crazy. And I need a place
• 46:43
  Speaker 2: to live because she doesn't seem at this point, Danielle,
• 46:49
  Speaker 2: you know. She wants a new radio contract. We want
• 46:52
  Speaker 2: a lot of money. And that may be in like
• 46:53
  Speaker 2: six or seven years when we start banking cash because,
• 46:57
  Speaker 2: you know, for all intents and purposes, I'm poor. I
• 47:00
  Speaker 2: know I make more money than most of you out there,
• 47:02
  Speaker 2: but the lifestyle I lead and the things that I
• 47:04
  Speaker 2: do and the people I surround myself with, I'm not wealthy,
• 47:07
  Speaker 2: not even close.
• 47:07
  Speaker 7: Well, just paying that guy who shaves your body. I mean,
• 47:10
  Speaker 7: that's a lot right there.
• 47:11
  Speaker 2: That's 50 bucks right there. Yeah. I got to bank
• 47:15
  Speaker 2: some cash and then we can start to talk about
• 47:17
  Speaker 2: doing fun stuff like running for mayor as if that's fun.
• 47:21
  Speaker 2: This idiot was still talking about Netanyahu and protests and
• 47:25
  Speaker 2: he's not going to the protests. And who cares what
• 47:27
  Speaker 2: this moron does? Is he going to be at the
• 47:30
  Speaker 2: San Gennaro feast? Will he have the balls, this radical Islam, Italian-hating,
• 47:36
  Speaker 2: Italian-hating mayor? Will you have the balls to go down
• 47:39
  Speaker 2: to San Gennaro? How about you meet me there this
• 47:41
  Speaker 2: afternoon at Il Cortile, Mayor Mamdani? How about that, bitch? Anyway,
• 47:47
  Speaker 2: I didn't do that at the White House yesterday. Maintain control.
• 47:50
  Speaker 7: That's probably a good thing.
• 47:51
  Speaker 2: Except when I went out and went back to the office.
• 47:54
  Speaker 7: Where's he going?
• 47:56
  Speaker 2: Then he goes, I don't know. So, San Gennaro Feast,
• 48:01
  Speaker 2: excited about that, no?
• 48:02
  Speaker 7: Yeah, sure, of course. This is, I think this is
• 48:04
  Speaker 7: the 100th anniversary.
• 48:05
  Speaker 2: It is. 100 years, it started as a little block
• 48:08
  Speaker 2: party on Mulberry Street. 100 years later now, it's a mess.
• 48:11
  Speaker 2: It's not like it used to be. I hate to
• 48:12
  Speaker 2: say it, but it's not.
• 48:13
  Speaker 7: It is very different.
• 48:14
  Speaker 2: The neighborhood has changed. Yeah, it's not all Italian, which
• 48:17
  Speaker 2: I want it to be. Oh, what about diversity? Take
• 48:20
  Speaker 2: diversity and shove it up your ass. I'm so sick
• 48:23
  Speaker 2: and tired of hearing about diversity, okay? I don't want diversity.
• 48:27
  Speaker 2: When I go to San Gennaro, I want Italians, okay?
• 48:30
  Speaker 2: If I go to Atlantic Avenue, I'll take the Muslims.
• 48:32
  Speaker 2: I don't need all different types of people walking around
• 48:36
  Speaker 2: the San Gennaro feast eating a zeppole. It doesn't do
• 48:39
  Speaker 2: it for me.
• 48:40
  Speaker 7: And now it's only a couple blocks little.
• 48:43
  Speaker 2: But it's a mess. It's a billion people. I don't know.
• 48:46
  Speaker 2: I go right to Tommy Leonard's place, El Cortil. And
• 48:49
  Speaker 2: I hold a lunch or a dinner there every year.
• 48:51
  Speaker 2: I'm doing it again this year. A lot of my
• 48:53
  Speaker 2: friends from Poly Prep, Italians, they show up for that.
• 48:57
  Speaker 2: Years ago, I remember, really, I think when John first
• 49:00
  Speaker 2: took over the station, he did his show from the
• 49:03
  Speaker 2: San Gennaro Feast. I showed up for that in the afternoon.
• 49:06
  Speaker 2: And Piscopo, of course, is there. And I think Angelo
• 49:10
  Speaker 2: Vivalo was there. Who was the guy that used to
• 49:12
  Speaker 2: be the fire commissioner? He was there. Danny, son of
• 49:16
  Speaker 2: a bitch. He was the fire commissioner before Kavanaugh. He
• 49:19
  Speaker 2: was there for a long time. He took over 9-11.
• 49:21
  Speaker 2: He's a friend of mine. I love the guy.
• 49:22
  Speaker 7: You're talking about Sal Cassano.
• 49:24
  Speaker 2: No, no, no, no. Dan something or other. Anyway, that
• 49:28
  Speaker 2: was going back. Man, that's got to be... Seven or eight, no,
• 49:31
  Speaker 2: six years. I guess six years ago when John Bruce
• 49:33
  Speaker 2: took over. But we do a lunch or a dinner
• 49:35
  Speaker 2: there every year. We'll do it again this year. In fact, unprovoked,
• 49:37
  Speaker 2: Tommy Leonard texted me yesterday, said, when are you guys coming?
• 49:41
  Speaker 2: So we'll make that plan. Justin's never gone, so I
• 49:44
  Speaker 2: want to take Alec this year. Yeah, I'm looking forward
• 49:46
  Speaker 2: to it. We'll take him out there, you know.
• 49:48
  Speaker 7: You've never been to the feast?
• 49:49
  Speaker 18: No, I always walk past it.
• 49:50
  Speaker 2: I never go in. He doesn't go in. Yeah. Like
• 49:52
  Speaker 2: it's inside somewhere, you know. Ha, ha, ha. But you'll
• 49:56
  Speaker 2: come this year, and we'll get you, Norm, out there
• 49:58
  Speaker 2: and Louie and the whole big thing.
• 50:00
  Speaker 18: It looks like a blast.
• 50:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's fun.
• 50:02
  Speaker 18: You're definitely filling up your belly with good stuff.
• 50:04
  Speaker 2: Yes, you are. We only have a couple of minutes
• 50:06
  Speaker 2: here because you just did 56 minutes on my day yesterday.
• 50:09
  Speaker 2: So in like two or three minutes, I'm not even
• 50:11
  Speaker 2: kidding you, in two or three minutes, Norm, give me
• 50:12
  Speaker 2: like the two big stories and that's it. Oh, too big.
• 50:16
  Speaker 2: Are there any?
• 50:17
  Speaker 7: Well, you're the big story of the day.
• 50:18
  Speaker 2: No question about it.
• 50:19
  Speaker 16: I mean, there's not really anything bigger than that. I mean, locally,
• 50:21
  Speaker 16: there's another Legionnaire's death in the Bronx. That, of course,
• 50:25
  Speaker 16: has people totally, totally freaked out. And then I don't
• 50:28
  Speaker 16: know if you saw, this is more of a sports story,
• 50:30
  Speaker 16: but there was quite a collision last night between Mets
• 50:34
  Speaker 16: first baseman Jared Young and the pitcher Nolan McLean.
• 50:38
  Speaker 7: This was like a sixth inning.
• 50:40
  Speaker 2: He was knocked the up out. He was.
• 50:41
  Speaker 7: He was taken out on a stretcher. I mean, it
• 50:43
  Speaker 7: was bad.
• 50:44
  Speaker 16: This was a against the Phillies at Citi Field last night.
• 50:48
  Speaker 16: We're being told he's okay, but it's not clear when
• 50:51
  Speaker 16: he'll return to the lineup. But that video, no doubt,
• 50:54
  Speaker 16: will enter your feed if you haven't seen it today
• 50:57
  Speaker 16: at some point because it is a crazy, crazy collision.
• 51:00
  Speaker 2: He's okay. He woke up this morning and thought he
• 51:02
  Speaker 2: was Pete Alonso, but he's fine.
• 51:05
  Speaker 7: Maybe he wished he was Pete Alonso.
• 51:07
  Speaker 2: Maybe he did wish that. So that's a big story.
• 51:10
  Speaker 2: All right, well, we've got a bunch of great guests.
• 51:13
  Speaker 1: Sid and Friends in the Morning on the Red Apple
• 51:17
  Speaker 1: Podcast Network.
• 51:19
  Speaker 2: One of my dear friends and just terrific in this business,
• 51:22
  Speaker 2: Alex Trayman. Mr. Trayman, Shabbat Shalom. How are you? Shabbat Shalom.
• 51:28
  Speaker 20: Great to hear from you.
• 51:29
  Speaker 2: Nice to talk to you, too. And I know you're excited.
• 51:33
  Speaker 2: I got that video from the prime minister's office on Monday, Tuesday.
• 51:37
  Speaker 2: about six weeks after President Trump sent me a beautiful
• 51:40
  Speaker 2: two-minute video as well. And it was not that long
• 51:43
  Speaker 2: ago I was complaining, where's the prime minister? And ends
• 51:46
  Speaker 2: up coming on the show and sends me a video
• 51:49
  Speaker 2: and now wants to see me next Thursday in New York.
• 51:52
  Speaker 2: So all looks good in the Rosenberg-Netanyahu relationship, Alex.
• 51:57
  Speaker 20: Yeah, it took a little bit of effort, but we
• 52:00
  Speaker 20: definitely got the prime minister to understand just how powerful
• 52:04
  Speaker 20: a voice you have been for Israel and for the
• 52:06
  Speaker 20: prime minister defending him when so many other people are
• 52:10
  Speaker 20: attacking him. You've been a staunch defender. And, you know,
• 52:13
  Speaker 20: when the prime minister recognizes that people are behind him,
• 52:18
  Speaker 20: you know, he.
• 52:18
  Speaker 12: Rewards that loyalty.
• 52:19
  Speaker 20: And he's very, very, very grateful for the work that
• 52:23
  Speaker 20: you're doing to defend Israel, especially during this war since
• 52:26
  Speaker 20: October 7th.
• 52:27
  Speaker 2: Thank you. Thank you. And he's very much like Trump
• 52:29
  Speaker 2: in that respect. So what do you think? He'll be
• 52:31
  Speaker 2: here in six days and this idiot mayor, this moron,
• 52:35
  Speaker 2: now he says, I'm not going to go to any protest.
• 52:38
  Speaker 2: He already set the fire. You know, it's kind of
• 52:41
  Speaker 2: like you set the fire and you run away. Who
• 52:43
  Speaker 2: cares if he goes to protest now? He's already encouraged,
• 52:47
  Speaker 2: not that they needed it, but he's encouraged all these
• 52:49
  Speaker 2: hateful anti-Israel, anti-Bibi morons to go out there. So we're
• 52:54
  Speaker 2: expecting some really big protests, especially one on Thursday from
• 52:58
  Speaker 2: Bryant Park to the U.N. about the time the prime
• 53:01
  Speaker 2: minister is about to speak. They're going to make it
• 53:04
  Speaker 2: pretty miserable here for B.B. Alex coming up on Thursday.
• 53:07
  Speaker 2: What are your thoughts on all that?
• 53:10
  Speaker 20: Well, you know, Mamdani called for the arrest of Netanyahu
• 53:13
  Speaker 20: when he came to New York. Of course, he doesn't
• 53:15
  Speaker 20: have the power to do that, so it was all
• 53:17
  Speaker 20: publicity stunt. But he did encourage people to go out
• 53:21
  Speaker 20: to protest, and he backed down and said that he
• 53:23
  Speaker 20: wasn't telling people that they should protest, but just that
• 53:27
  Speaker 20: everybody should recognize that people have the right to protest.
• 53:29
  Speaker 20: He said he's not going, but we know there's going
• 53:31
  Speaker 20: to be a big protest. And the prime minister actually,
• 53:34
  Speaker 20: you know, he's trying to balance... The holiday schedule, we're
• 53:38
  Speaker 20: going into Yom Kippur here on Sunday night, and then
• 53:41
  Speaker 20: Friday night is the holiday of Sukkot. And the speech
• 53:44
  Speaker 20: of the U.N. is right in between. So it doesn't
• 53:46
  Speaker 20: leave a lot of time for the prime minister to
• 53:48
  Speaker 20: come in and to do diplomacy. But in addition to that,
• 53:52
  Speaker 20: because the nature of protests in New York City is
• 53:55
  Speaker 20: supposed to be so robust, so great, the prime minister
• 53:59
  Speaker 20: is probably not even going to stay overnight in New
• 54:01
  Speaker 20: York City. He's not going to stay at a hotel
• 54:03
  Speaker 20: specifically so that there won't be an overnight protest and
• 54:07
  Speaker 20: all this noise around his hotel area. when he's staying there.
• 54:10
  Speaker 20: So it does really impact his own schedule, and the
• 54:12
  Speaker 20: Prime Minister's going to literally have to fly into New York,
• 54:15
  Speaker 20: get off the plane, go make a speech, and get
• 54:17
  Speaker 20: back on a plane to come home.
• 54:19
  Speaker 2: Because he would have come the night before. I know
• 54:20
  Speaker 2: the hotel he stays at, and the last couple of
• 54:23
  Speaker 2: times he's been here, they've asked for rallies the night before.
• 54:27
  Speaker 2: You know, he's inside his hotel room, and all these animals,
• 54:30
  Speaker 2: these idiots, are in the street yelling and screaming, these morons.
• 54:33
  Speaker 2: So it has happened before, and I think you're right.
• 54:37
  Speaker 2: I think even though nothing's going to intimidate Bibi like Trump,
• 54:41
  Speaker 2: and nothing's going to stop Bibi from coming here, nothing,
• 54:44
  Speaker 2: not even this idiot mayor, that it does make for
• 54:48
  Speaker 2: a much more uncomfortable, that's the word I'll use, experience. Right,
• 54:53
  Speaker 2: bottom line? It's uncomfortable.
• 54:55
  Speaker 20: It's also optics. Remember that we're going into an election here,
• 54:58
  Speaker 20: and as you know, Netanyahu's up for re-election on October 27th,
• 55:02
  Speaker 20: and he has to balance making himself look as good
• 55:06
  Speaker 20: as possible and making... the Israeli public recognize yet again
• 55:10
  Speaker 20: that he is the indispensable man at the head of
• 55:13
  Speaker 20: the country versus a liability. So if the headlines are
• 55:17
  Speaker 20: mostly about protests, then that doesn't look good. If the
• 55:21
  Speaker 20: headlines are mostly about what Netanyahu says at the United
• 55:25
  Speaker 20: Nations in his eloquent English, well, then, you know, that's
• 55:28
  Speaker 20: going to reflect nicely on Netanyahu.
• 55:31
  Speaker 2: So, not last year, the year before, the two-year commemoration
• 55:34
  Speaker 2: of October the 7th, I went to Israel specifically for that.
• 55:37
  Speaker 2: Happened to fall on Yom Kippur, and I had the
• 55:41
  Speaker 2: opportunity to go to shul in Afrat. My good buddy
• 55:44
  Speaker 2: Judah Hanekman, your good buddy too, took me to that shul,
• 55:47
  Speaker 2: and his brother-in-law Shlomo Katz is a great rabbi, and
• 55:51
  Speaker 2: it was a wonderful couple of days. You remember that day? Alex,
• 55:55
  Speaker 2: but I got to tell you, do you watch this show, Fowler,
• 55:58
  Speaker 2: talking about October the 7th? Because Danielle and I love
• 56:00
  Speaker 2: this show. We love it. And season five just came
• 56:03
  Speaker 2: out like two weeks ago, maybe last week. And one
• 56:06
  Speaker 2: of the episodes, it's all about October the 7th. And
• 56:10
  Speaker 2: I got to tell you the truth, Alex. It's been
• 56:12
  Speaker 2: a long time, maybe never, since I said to Danielle,
• 56:18
  Speaker 2: please shut that off. or actually left the bedroom and
• 56:21
  Speaker 2: went downstairs to watch something else. It was that disturbing. Rape, murder, kids, Nova, houses.
• 56:32
  Speaker 2: So if you're like Tucker Carlson, one of these morons
• 56:36
  Speaker 2: who's yelling and screaming about genocide, Mom Donnie, he still
• 56:38
  Speaker 2: yells about genocide. My recommendation is go watch that episode.
• 56:42
  Speaker 2: Go watch season five of Fowler. Do you watch that show?
• 56:47
  Speaker 20: Well, I'm not a big TV watcher, but as you said,
• 56:49
  Speaker 20: episodes 7 and 8 of this fifth season of Fowler
• 56:53
  Speaker 20: show actual footage from October 7, which is unique because Fowler,
• 56:58
  Speaker 20: it's a dramatization, it's a series. But in these two episodes,
• 57:01
  Speaker 20: they actually took real footage of what happened. on October 7th.
• 57:05
  Speaker 20: And you know what's amazing? I was reading some headlines
• 57:08
  Speaker 20: this past week. In places like in Italy and elsewhere,
• 57:12
  Speaker 20: where people are calling out Israel for supposed war crimes
• 57:16
  Speaker 20: and for genocide, when they poll the general public, a
• 57:19
  Speaker 20: lot of times people don't even know what happened on
• 57:22
  Speaker 20: October 7th. They don't know about October 7th. They don't
• 57:24
  Speaker 20: know that Hamas crossed the Israeli border unprovoked murdered 1,200
• 57:30
  Speaker 20: people in their homes, injured thousands of others, and took
• 57:34
  Speaker 20: 255 people hostage back into Gaza. And that's the reason
• 57:38
  Speaker 20: why this war started, because of what they did and
• 57:41
  Speaker 20: that Israel had to get back the 255 hostages that
• 57:44
  Speaker 20: they had kidnapped. People don't even know that that happened.
• 57:48
  Speaker 20: So it's good that Fauda is putting that footage out
• 57:52
  Speaker 20: there for people to see. And what's surprising about it
• 57:54
  Speaker 20: is not just the viewers in the United States, but
• 57:57
  Speaker 20: that Fauda is actually going to the top of the
• 57:59
  Speaker 20: ratings on Netflix, even all across the Middle East, in Lebanon,
• 58:04
  Speaker 20: in Jordan, in Egypt, in other places. And so the
• 58:07
  Speaker 20: question is, why would these people that otherwise hate Israel
• 58:10
  Speaker 20: spend their time glued to Fauda? And it's actually because
• 58:14
  Speaker 20: they have tremendous, tremendous respect admiration and fear for the
• 58:18
  Speaker 20: state of Israel.
• 58:19
  Speaker 2: I think you're right. Yeah, a lot of these morons
• 58:21
  Speaker 2: think that war started October the 8th. What is that
• 58:24
  Speaker 2: lead actor's name again? I like him a lot. The
• 58:27
  Speaker 2: ball guy.
• 58:27
  Speaker 20: Yeah, I don't know.
• 58:29
  Speaker 2: I don't watch the film. I love that guy, whoever
• 58:32
  Speaker 2: he is. If you talk to him, tell him Sid
• 58:34
  Speaker 2: Rosenberg loves you. What's his name, Justin? That's right. That's right.
• 58:38
  Speaker 2: That's right. So tell me this. Talk about Hamas. Last
• 58:41
  Speaker 2: we heard, they were not going to give up their arms,
• 58:44
  Speaker 2: which President Trump wants them to do. Forget about Bibi.
• 58:46
  Speaker 2: President Trump wants them to do it. They were not
• 58:48
  Speaker 2: going to do it. And I'm still hearing about a
• 58:51
  Speaker 2: couple of attacks here and there still happening years and
• 58:55
  Speaker 2: years later. What is the current status of Hamas in Gaza?
• 59:00
  Speaker 20: Well, since Hamas agreed to give back the remaining hostages
• 59:05
  Speaker 20: living and the dead, there hasn't been a major military operation.
• 59:09
  Speaker 20: But Israel does hold 50% of the Gaza Strip, a
• 59:13
  Speaker 20: tremendous buffer between the Gazan Population Center and the population
• 59:19
  Speaker 20: centers in Israel. There are isolated attacks by Hamas toward
• 59:25
  Speaker 20: Israeli soldiers at the positions that they're holding, but there's
• 59:28
  Speaker 20: also targeted assassinations. We saw just this last week that
• 59:32
  Speaker 20: Israel took out one of the heads of the Rafah Brigade.
• 59:35
  Speaker 20: That's the city in the south of Gaza that the
• 59:39
  Speaker 20: Biden administration said Israel shouldn't go into, and they went
• 59:42
  Speaker 20: into it, and they did an amazing operation there, I think,
• 59:45
  Speaker 20: killing Less than 10 people. That entire operation was an
• 59:50
  Speaker 20: absolutely stunning military success.
• 59:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that was Biden's. Biden said no. And Kamala Harris,
• 59:55
  Speaker 2: that moron, said, I studied the maps.
• 59:56
  Speaker 20: They said there'll be thousands. They said there'll be 10,000 killed.
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 2: In the meantime, we got Noah out and like 10
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 2: other hostages. And by the way, correct me if I'm wrong,
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 2: I believe in that same city of Rafa, that's where
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 2: the Israelis took out Sinwar.
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 20: Right, exactly. That was the last stronghold for Sinwar and Hamas,
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 20: and that's why Israel had to go in there, because
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 20: what Israel was doing was they were moving the population
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 20: out of harm's way into the north, from the north,
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 20: so they could operate in the north, so everybody went
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 20: down to the south. So when all the civilians go
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 20: down to the south, where do the Hamas terrorists go?
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 20: They go under the cover of the civilians. Israel's trying
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 20: to get the civilians out of the way so they
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 20: could just fight Hamas and to take care of the infrastructure,
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 20: and where does Hamas go? They go underneath and behind
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 20: the civilians. to use them as human shields. But there's
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 20: no way that Hamas is going to give up their
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 20: arms now in Gaza.
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 3: Why?
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 20: Because how do they terrorize the population? How do they
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 20: continue to remain in control of Gaza if they don't
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 20: have their weapons? But I'll tell you that I think
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 20: that Israel is relatively comfortable with this bad situation in
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 20: Gaza in which Hamas still runs around with weapons because
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 20: Israel could... defang and demilitarize Hamas. But if they did that,
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 20: that would require another massive military operation. What would happen
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 20: if there was a massive military operation? Israeli soldiers could
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 20: lose lives as they have to fight in this booby-trapped
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 20: urban fighting environment, very densely populated. And I don't think
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 20: Israelis want to see more lives lost among their own soldiers.
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 20: And second, the international condemnation would go up What Trump
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 20: has done with this 20-point plan is he's basically taken
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 20: responsibility for the status quo in Gaza as being under
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 20: his dominion, not under Israel's. And that's something that I
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 20: think that Prime Minister Netanyahu has determined it's best for
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 20: Israel to live with.
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 2: About two more minutes to go. So, you know, I
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 2: met with Vice President J.D. Vance yesterday. A lot of
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 2: Jewish people, very angry with me, very. And they all
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 2: felt the need to send me their messages and their,
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 2: you know, what they want me to ask them and
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 2: It's fine. I mean, I think having a good relationship
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 2: with the VP, who may very well be the next president,
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 2: is smart. I just think it's smart. And I like them.
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 2: Not going to lie. Spent 25 minutes with the guy.
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 2: I like them. Now, I'm angry about a whole bunch
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 2: of stuff he said, and one of his friends in particular,
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 2: and he knows that. And at some point, we're going
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 2: to have to go toe-to-toe on that. He did say
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 2: something a couple of days ago that was rough, and
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 2: that was that he said that President Trump is ready, willing,
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 2: and able to move away from from BB Netanyahu. I've
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 2: not heard the president say that, but that's what J.D.
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 2: Vance said. You think there's any truth to that, that
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 2: Trump is ready to move away from BB? And overall,
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 2: what do you think about my meeting and what Israel
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 2: think about my meeting with the vice president?
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 20: Well, there's a couple of things about what Vance has
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 20: said in recent statements, including in these last statements, which is,
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 20: you know, he feels like he has to go out
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 20: of his way to constantly say over and over again,
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 20: that Israel doesn't dictate American policy. And why does he
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 20: need to say that, and who is he pandering to?
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 20: But with these last comments, he said that Trump has
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 20: shown a willingness to part ways with Netanyahu when he
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 20: Trump felt that what Netanyahu would have wanted as the
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 20: prime minister of Israel didn't perfectly align with Israeli interests.
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 20: And so the wording that he used wasn't exactly careful.
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 20: I don't think he should have used the term part ways,
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 20: but I don't think that he meant part ways in
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 20: terms of several of the relationship. I just think he
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 20: meant not do exactly what Israel would want in its
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 20: own interest if it didn't perfectly align with with America's interests.
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 20: So I think that's where he said that they were
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 20: part ways. But, of course, we've even seen the Jerusalem
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 20: Post and others say that Vance said that Trump is
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 20: willing to cut ties with Netanyahu, and that's not what
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 20: he said. So I think Vance, like, I don't know
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 20: why he's got to double down, but I think he
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 20: also has to be much more careful with the phrases
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 20: that he uses.
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 2: He does. Like he used the word a couple days ago, subservient.
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 2: You know, why is America subservient to Israel? He didn't
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 2: say that about Turkey. He didn't say that about Pakistan.
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 2: I mean, you want to talk about subservient? Talk about Qatar.
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 2: I mean, Jesus, you could make that case. But you're right.
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 2: For some reason, he's talking about the Middle East, right?
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 2: Middle East. And the only country he throws in there
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 2: is Israel. So these are the things that J.D. Vance said.
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 2: Needs to fix. And a lot of that, I believe,
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 2: he sounds like his buddy Tucker. So that's the conversation
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 2: that needs to be had. But I will tell you this, okay,
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 2: for what it's worth, it's just Sid Rosenberg. Just me.
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 2: I don't believe in my heart of hearts that J.D.
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 2: Vance is an anti-Semite and that J.D. Vance hates Israel.
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 2: I just don't.
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 20: I don't think that he's necessarily an anti-Semite in his core,
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 20: but the things that he's saying is giving a lot
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 20: of wind to anti-Semites and being used by anti-Semites. And
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 20: in some cases, it doesn't sound that much different than
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 20: what some avowed anti-Semites are saying. In that position, it
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 20: almost doesn't matter so much where his heart is as
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 20: much as where his mouth is. And so in that sense,
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 20: you know, I think that he has a responsibility to
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 20: be a lot wiser in terms of what he's saying
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 20: and not to be following the whims of people like
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 20: Nick Fuentes and Tucker Carlson who don't have that burden
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 20: of responsibility as representing the greatest superpower in the entire
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 20: world as J.D. Vance does within this Trump administration.
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 2: Nothing to argue there, man. You said that perfectly. You know,
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 2: I agree with you a thousand percent, and these will
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 2: be ongoing conversations with Between me and the vice president. But,
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 2: you know, I think I earned his respect. I know
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 2: I did. I earned his respect yesterday, and we got
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 2: along well. And now it's much easier to have these
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 2: difficult conversations because everything you just said, Alex Freeman, is 1,000% true. 1,000%.
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 20: I think what you're saying is true also. I mean,
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 20: this is very likely to be the Republican candidates. for
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 20: the President of the United States. And in that sense,
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 20: he could be the President of the United States. And
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 20: it's extremely important to have these channels, to establish trust,
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 20: to work with somebody, rather than to just alienate them,
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 20: because they might be the ones sitting in the most
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 20: important chair in the entire world, and we will need
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 20: their help to navigate very, very difficult challenges in the
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 20: years ahead.
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 2: Exactly why I was there yesterday and exactly why we
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 2: handled our first meeting the way we did. Alex, your
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 2: beautiful Shabbat Shalom. And, of course, have an easy fast
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 2: coming up this weekend, Yom Kippur. And we'll talk in
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 2: between Yom Kippur and Sukkot. I love you, your whole family,
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 2: all you guys. Thank you so much.
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 20: Love you, too, and love everybody in New York.
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 2: We do. I love you, too, out here in New York.
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 2: Alex Trayman right there, the CEO of JNS.org, one of
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 2: the finest human beings you'll ever meet. We'll take a break.
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 1: Sid and Friends in the Morning on the Red Apple
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 1: Podcast Network.
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 2: 747. This guy Wallace keeps saying sunny in 72. I've
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 2: not seen the sun yet this morning. I don't know
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 2: where the hell he is. Is he doing these news
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 2: updates from Miami? I don't know. It's cloudy here. It's
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 2: going to be cloudy all weekend and raining. And I
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 2: got to tell you this. I was watching out of
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 2: the corner of my eye because I never watch it myself.
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 2: It's a communist channel. And I like some of the
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 2: people there. Stop picking your nose, Josh. It's gross. I
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 2: like Pat Kiernan. I like Shannon Berry. I like Roger Clark.
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 2: But for the most part, I even like that guy,
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 2: Dan Rivoli, I think his name is. I don't know.
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 2: But the rest of the station is horrible, led by
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 2: the fat, black, stupid racist, Errol Lewis. But out of
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 2: the corner of my eye, I saw the 10-day forecast,
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 2: and there are no days that reach 70 degrees. Now,
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 2: Norm said he saw something online that told him different,
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 2: but New York One's pretty accurate. Every day is in
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 2: the 60s after today, and a couple of days have rained.
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 2: So today it says 79 and sunny, but there's no sun.
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 2: So what that means is my buddy Raul is very
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 2: excited right now because he owns a tanning salon I
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 2: go to right here by the office, Portofino Tanning Salon,
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 2: and I disappear for like four months. He doesn't see
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 2: me because... It's sunny outside. I live on the beach.
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 2: As soon as it starts to get cold and cloudy,
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 2: he sees me twice a week. So right now he's
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 2: very excited. Sid's coming back. It's indoor tanning season. You
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 2: believe I'm going to be 60 years old and I
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 2: still do stuff like this? Yeah. I'm a moron.
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 18: Yeah, I can believe it.
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah. A moron.
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 18: Yeah, I believe that too.
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 2: But I believe my friend, the president, who I was
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 2: with in the Oval Office yesterday, does the same thing.
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 2: He's tan in the winter.
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 18: Yeah, he's not a moron.
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 2: He's not? No. But doesn't he tan also indoors?
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 18: I i would um yeah judging by his color yes.
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 2: So so there you go so maybe i'm not a moron.
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 18: He does the spray you know maybe he he does
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 18: the self spray maybe i got but i doubt it
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 18: i got that too you know if i was if
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 18: i was the president you know i would just have
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 18: one sort of off the wing of the oval office.
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 2: He's got a booth uh somewhere in that place no
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 2: question yeah but i got everything i've got the spray
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 2: i've got some other thing you put on your face

  Speaker 2: it makes you dark i'm A member of, like, three
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 2: tanning salons. Like, I'm with the gym. I don't know.
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 2: We've got to take a break. He's here. He's the
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 2: majority whip in Congress. And I was standing right with
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 2: him on the floor in Dallas last week when President
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 2: Trump hit the stage. In my opinion, one of our
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 2: most important congressmen and smartest in the country. Live in
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 2: studio from the great state of Minnesota, Tom Emmer is
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 2: coming up next.
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 1: Sid and Friends in the Morning on the Red Apple
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 1: Podcast Network.
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 2: You all can see it, can't you? President Trump doing
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 2: a little dance. There I was in the Oval Office
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 2: with the President yesterday. And the last time I saw
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 2: the President speak was in Dallas about a week ago.
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 2: And a week ago, Wednesday night. And I looked to
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 2: my left as the President enters the stage with Lee
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 2: Greenwood singing that great song. And who's standing there? This
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 2: really handsome guy with white hair out of the state
• 1:10:20
  Speaker 2: of Minnesota who I've become very, very friendly with. I
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 2: love this guy. Happens to be the majority whip and
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 2: so important to our party, Tom Emmer. And I had
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 2: a chance to meet Tom Emmer's lovely wife that night, too.
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 2: Put his mic on. Go ahead. We're live. We're live.
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 13: Yeah. Everybody knows. Everybody loves Jackie. Just ask the president.
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 2: He loves her, too? Oh, yeah.
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 13: He'll tell you.
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 2: Oh, really? Because you know what's funny about that? For
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 2: the first time ever, the president met my wife yesterday.
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 2: Him and I had closed for years. He never met Danielle.
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 2: I took her into the Oval Office. He said, oh,
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 2: my God, what a pretty wife. What a pretty wife.
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 2: And he was so complimentary and so great. And my
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 2: wife was a Democrat. And Trump kind of turned her,
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 2: you know. So he's like that.
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 13: The president gave an invitation just a few months back
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 13: for dinner. He says, you want to come over for dinner?
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 13: What do you say? Absolutely, yes, sir.
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:11:11
  Speaker 13: He says, is Jackie with you? I said, yeah, she is.
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 13: He goes, that's great. Bring her with you. Otherwise, don't
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 13: bother showing up.
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 2: That's him. There you go. Isn't that great?
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 13: Yeah.
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 2: That is fantastic. And he was terrific that night. How
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 2: do you think the whole thing, when I saw you
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 2: the next morning walking back and forth doing about 9
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 2: million interviews, and I spoke to him that next morning
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 2: when you walked by for about an hour, what do
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 2: you think last week was fun and glitzy for the party,
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 2: or do you think it really.
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 13: Well, look, people can have different opinions, but this is
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 13: the genius of our president. Our president understands that the
• 1:11:48
  Speaker 13: result will be based on turnout, Sid. And unfortunately, when
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 13: a party is in the White House, they tend to
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 13: be happy because they've got Donald Trump sealed the border.
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 13: Donald Trump has got homicide levels and crime at the
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 13: lowest level in 100 years. I mean, all of these
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 13: successes that Donald Trump is having the parties, you know,
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 13: that the hardcore MAGA world is happy. And what he
• 1:12:13
  Speaker 13: was doing last week with all of us, uh, in
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 13: the same place was saying, don't rest on your laurels.
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 13: This is not over. You got to stand up, you
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 13: got to show up and you got to vote. And
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 13: I want you to pretend that I'm on the ballot.
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 13: And I, from that standpoint, because look, none of these
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 13: media outlets, you know, present company excluded, none of the, uh,
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 13: lamestream media is ever going to do him a favor
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 13: of celebrating anything that he's done right. We weren't talking
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 13: to Democrats. We weren't talking to independents last week. He
• 1:12:46
  Speaker 13: was talking to hardcore Republicans, challenging them to get up
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 13: and get out and vote.
• 1:12:51
  Speaker 2: Now, there are some things that are not going great.
• 1:12:53
  Speaker 2: He'll admit that, President Trump. I mean, he knows that
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 2: when the Iran conflict is over, he doesn't call it
• 1:12:59
  Speaker 2: a war anymore. It's a conflict at this point. That
• 1:13:01
  Speaker 2: at that point, we'll see gas and oil prices start
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 2: to come down. And, you know, I know he wasn't
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 2: happy with Kevin Warsh earlier in the week. He handpicked
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 2: the guy and he raised interest rates. That's not great.
• 1:13:12
  Speaker 2: And I think you'd even admit that goods are still
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 2: a little high. Inflation, that's why Walsh did it, is
• 1:13:17
  Speaker 2: still a little high. So Trump, while he deserves a
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 2: ton of credit because he was left a big bag
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 2: of duty, folks, smelly duty by that walking cadaver, Joe Biden,
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 2: and he's fixed a lot of it, he hasn't fixed
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 2: all of it. He knows that. You know that. Is
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 2: that fair to say?
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 13: Yes and no. I mean, I think if we want
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 13: to play the game that Democrats and the left-wing media
• 1:13:43
  Speaker 13: play and just pick trees in the economy instead of
• 1:13:46
  Speaker 13: the entire forest, yeah, I can tell you, you know,
• 1:13:50
  Speaker 13: we were having this argument the other day. Eggs are down, right?
• 1:13:54
  Speaker 13: Eggs are down big. I can talk about all these
• 1:13:57
  Speaker 13: things that are good. Now, look.
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 2: He tells a great story. He goes, I come into
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 2: office and eggs are high, okay? They start yelling at me,
• 1:14:07
  Speaker 2: yelling at me. What are you going to do about eggs, sir?
• 1:14:11
  Speaker 2: What are you going to do about eggs? He said,
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 2: I just took over an hour ago. He tells that almost,
• 1:14:18
  Speaker 2: but he's right. I mean, right away, make it mix,
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 2: make it better when he does do that. But again,
• 1:14:22
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry.
• 1:14:22
  Speaker 13: The other, no, no, don't be sorry. I think that's great.
• 1:14:25
  Speaker 13: So I can pick those trees too, the way they
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 13: do on the other side. There's just happens to be
• 1:14:29
  Speaker 13: more effective because it's the gas and people should just
• 1:14:34
  Speaker 13: think how crafty this is. We don't fill our tank
• 1:14:37
  Speaker 13: every day just like we don't go into the grocery
• 1:14:39
  Speaker 13: store every day. But you know what we do? We
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 13: do drive by that sign every day that says $ 3. 50, $ 3. 75, $ 4, $ 4.
• 1:14:47
  Speaker 2: 25.
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 13: So, look, the economy, just look at last week. We
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 13: had a jobs report that was three times larger than
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 13: anything they expected. And, Sid, it wasn't gig economy jobs.
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 13: It wasn't Uber drivers. It wasn't DoorDash. It was high-paying jobs.
• 1:15:06
  Speaker 13: high-tech jobs and manufacturing jobs with benefits, by the way.
• 1:15:11
  Speaker 13: Nobody seems to want to focus on that. And the
• 1:15:13
  Speaker 13: other piece is, you realize, if you think your country's
• 1:15:17
  Speaker 13: not headed in the right direction, do you spend more money?
• 1:15:21
  Speaker 2: Usually, no.
• 1:15:22
  Speaker 13: You pull the belt tight and you hold on. You
• 1:15:26
  Speaker 13: realize consumer spending is up 6% over last year. Look,
• 1:15:32
  Speaker 13: there's a lot of good in the economy. Donald Trump
• 1:15:34
  Speaker 13: was handed... The absolute biggest mess that anyone could have
• 1:15:37
  Speaker 13: had to deal with. Because of Joe Biden's failed policies,
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 13: you had inflation, double-digit inflation we hadn't seen in 40 years.
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 13: You had all kinds of things that were just out
• 1:15:47
  Speaker 13: of reach for the average American. Now, under Donald Trump,
• 1:15:51
  Speaker 13: he's bringing back investment. He's reshoring manufacturing jobs. I mean,
• 1:15:56
  Speaker 13: the future is incredibly bright because of what Donald Trump
• 1:15:59
  Speaker 13: has done. Are we all the way there? He's had
• 1:16:02
  Speaker 13: 18 months, Sid. It's like your story about the eggs
• 1:16:05
  Speaker 13: I got here an hour ago.
• 1:16:06
  Speaker 20: Yeah.
• 1:16:07
  Speaker 13: You know, Joe Biden had four years to destroy this place.
• 1:16:10
  Speaker 2: He did, and he did destroy it. You know, we
• 1:16:12
  Speaker 2: talk about Trump being on the ballot in terms of
• 1:16:15
  Speaker 2: these midterms, and people are quick to say he's not
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 2: on the ballot. He is. You know, he's said on
• 1:16:20
  Speaker 2: television a million times. He said on this show on Friday,
• 1:16:22
  Speaker 2: he said, Sid, I'm going to 35 states. He goes, Father,
• 1:16:25
  Speaker 2: you've got great energy. Maybe you can do five. I'll
• 1:16:27
  Speaker 2: do 30. I said, sure. But he's going to go
• 1:16:29
  Speaker 2: to all these states and campaign. He was in North
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 2: Carolina two days ago for Michael Watley. You're doing the
• 1:16:34
  Speaker 2: same thing, by the way, Mr.
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 13: Emmer.
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 2: Thank you very much. You're a great American and a
• 1:16:36
  Speaker 2: great patriot and a great Republican. And you're going to
• 1:16:39
  Speaker 2: go out and help a bunch of people as well.
• 1:16:40
  Speaker 2: So he's going to be out there in all these states.
• 1:16:43
  Speaker 2: And I don't know. You know, last look, Watley was
• 1:16:45
  Speaker 2: getting beat pretty good by Roy Cooper. I'm not sure
• 1:16:48
  Speaker 2: Trump will win everyone, but he's got a pretty good record,
• 1:16:50
  Speaker 2: pretty damn good record up to this point. So. You've
• 1:16:54
  Speaker 2: got to feel better knowing that President Trump is not
• 1:16:56
  Speaker 2: going to spend money, maybe a heap of billion dollars,
• 1:16:59
  Speaker 2: and at the same time also hit the road. That's
• 1:17:02
  Speaker 2: a good thing.
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 13: Look, Michael Watley, great example. On the outside, you look
• 1:17:09
  Speaker 13: in and you go, boy, the numbers aren't great with
• 1:17:11
  Speaker 13: Michael Watley and this Cooper, but a North Carolinian politico
• 1:17:15
  Speaker 13: told me the other night he guaranteed Michael Watley will
• 1:17:19
  Speaker 13: beat Roy Cooper.
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 2: He did.
• 1:17:21
  Speaker 13: Very compelling. He said, first off, Cooper has never been exposed.
• 1:17:27
  Speaker 13: No one has ever run a campaign against him to
• 1:17:29
  Speaker 13: literally lay out the argument as to why this guy
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 13: is not qualified to lead. And he said, it's coming.
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 13: And when it does, what happens is Cooper's numbers collapse.
• 1:17:38
  Speaker 13: By the way, the other thing is you got to
• 1:17:39
  Speaker 13: look at his numbers. Now he has topped out.
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 2: He's done. Yeah.
• 1:17:43
  Speaker 13: He's not going any bigger.
• 1:17:44
  Speaker 2: Here's what I would do if I was Mike Watley.
• 1:17:46
  Speaker 2: And I know he worked with Laurie Trump and I'm
• 1:17:48
  Speaker 2: close to Laurie. I may tell her this. You want
• 1:17:50
  Speaker 2: to beat Roy Cooper? Here's how you beat him.
• 1:17:52
  Speaker 13: Tom.
• 1:17:52
  Speaker 2: All you got to do, I mean this, I know
• 1:17:55
  Speaker 2: it's horrible, but I mean this, because sometimes you got
• 1:17:57
  Speaker 2: to fight this way. All you got to do is
• 1:18:00
  Speaker 2: show the video of that beautiful blonde Ukrainian girl getting
• 1:18:05
  Speaker 2: on a train and some animal behind her slitting her throat.
• 1:18:10
  Speaker 2: And you could actually watch the girl die on this video.
• 1:18:15
  Speaker 2: And that happened in Roy Cooper's home. And Roy Cooper,
• 1:18:19
  Speaker 2: like the people here, has no issue allowing people like
• 1:18:23
  Speaker 2: that walk the streets. Wadley plays that, he wins.
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 13: Yeah, well, again, a North Carolinian that has reason to know, guaranteed,
• 1:18:32
  Speaker 13: didn't tell me I think he can win, guaranteed that
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 13: Michael Wadley's going to win.
• 1:18:36
  Speaker 2: So what is the, of all the issues out there,
• 1:18:40
  Speaker 2: for the Republicans at least, what is our battle cry
• 1:18:42
  Speaker 2: as we head towards November? What are we going to prove?
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 13: You got to be selling. You got to be selling
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 13: what's already happened because the left-wing media is not doing it.
• 1:18:51
  Speaker 13: So you got to be talking about no taxes on tips.
• 1:18:53
  Speaker 13: You got to be talking about no taxes on overtime.
• 1:18:55
  Speaker 13: You got to be talking about no taxes on social security.
• 1:18:59
  Speaker 13: And then you got to create the contrast and have
• 1:19:01
  Speaker 13: people need to understand the other side. Not only did
• 1:19:05
  Speaker 13: they not vote for any of this, they will undo
• 1:19:08
  Speaker 13: all of And it's really about putting more money in
• 1:19:11
  Speaker 13: people's pockets, about safety and security. Donald Trump's promises, make
• 1:19:15
  Speaker 13: America healthy again, make America safe again, make America prosperous again.
• 1:19:21
  Speaker 13: You've got to focus on all those things that we've
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 13: been doing in just 18 months that are literally having
• 1:19:26
  Speaker 13: that impact. And I believe that people... They are smarter
• 1:19:30
  Speaker 13: than these political elitists, give them credit.
• 1:19:32
  Speaker 2: You think so, right?
• 1:19:33
  Speaker 13: Oh, yeah.
• 1:19:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:19:34
  Speaker 13: You're going to go into that voting booth and you're
• 1:19:36
  Speaker 13: going to say, ask yourself a very simple question. Do
• 1:19:40
  Speaker 13: I feel better about where I'm at today than I
• 1:19:43
  Speaker 13: did 18 months ago?
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 2: Is it even close? Unless you watch, what is her name,
• 1:19:47
  Speaker 2: this idiot, Amy Poehler, sitting with Robert De Niro two
• 1:19:51
  Speaker 2: days ago. Did you see that? I mean, you want
• 1:19:52
  Speaker 2: to talk about America falling apart, these two morons who
• 1:19:56
  Speaker 2: make millions and millions of dollars?
• 1:19:57
  Speaker 13: You know, just move.
• 1:19:58
  Speaker 2: Just move.
• 1:19:59
  Speaker 13: You don't like this place.
• 1:20:00
  Speaker 2: Just get out. Get out. Get the hell out of here.
• 1:20:03
  Speaker 2: So these races in New York, Tom, Mike Lawler, I
• 1:20:07
  Speaker 2: think he wins. He keeps winning. But I don't know.
• 1:20:08
  Speaker 2: I keep hearing this. Kate Conley has it. I don't know.
• 1:20:11
  Speaker 2: Michael Petri, Long Island. Janine Driscoll out on Long Island.
• 1:20:16
  Speaker 2: You keeping an eye on these races?
• 1:20:18
  Speaker 13: Oh, absolutely. Because your buddy, Bruce Blakeman, is running a
• 1:20:21
  Speaker 13: great race against Kathy Oka. What a nightmare she is.
• 1:20:24
  Speaker 13: The only thing that she can claim is that, what's
• 1:20:27
  Speaker 13: that line? She may not be the dumbest person in
• 1:20:30
  Speaker 13: the world, but if Tim Walz dies, she could take
• 1:20:34
  Speaker 13: that over.
• 1:20:36
  Speaker 2: I love that. Can I steal that?
• 1:20:37
  Speaker 13: Oh, please do.
• 1:20:38
  Speaker 2: And you can use that with just about anybody. Any
• 1:20:40
  Speaker 2: stupid person. Even Kamala Harris. If Tim Walz dies, you win.
• 1:20:44
  Speaker 13: Kamala Harris is a whole new level of stupid. But
• 1:20:48
  Speaker 13: Bruce Blakeman, county executive in Nassau County, All of Driscoll's
• 1:20:54
  Speaker 13: 4th District and three-quarters of LaPetrie's 3rd District are in

  Speaker 13: fraudster himself. All right, so this poll comes out. It's
• 1:21:55
  Speaker 13: got them tied.
• 1:21:57
  Speaker 1: 43-43.
• 1:21:57
  Speaker 13: This is not a push. This is just who do
• 1:21:59
  Speaker 13: you like, right?
• 1:22:01
  Speaker 2: 43-43.
• 1:22:02
  Speaker 13: And the undecideds, obviously, there's a healthy number of undecideds.
• 1:22:06
  Speaker 13: Think about this, Sid. I think she's doing great because
• 1:22:10
  Speaker 13: when you have an informed ballot, She wins by five points.
• 1:22:13
  Speaker 13: And even looking at this 43-43 with the undecideds, you
• 1:22:18
  Speaker 13: know Peggy Flanagan. You're undecided because you don't know DeFoya.
• 1:22:23
  Speaker 13: So the ones that come across, I think the majority
• 1:22:26
  Speaker 13: go to DeFoya or they don't vote. And I will
• 1:22:28
  Speaker 13: give you one other piece. Republicans in Minnesota are winning
• 1:22:31
  Speaker 13: the attorney general's race against Keith Ellison.
• 1:22:34
  Speaker 2: They're all winning that because Ellison's a bad guy, very
• 1:22:37
  Speaker 2: bad guy.
• 1:22:37
  Speaker 13: Ron Schutz leads in the polling that we've seen so far.
• 1:22:41
  Speaker 13: The Secretary of State's race is going to be competitive.
• 1:22:44
  Speaker 13: We have something called the state auditor. We've got a
• 1:22:47
  Speaker 13: guy named Scott Jensen running in that race.
• 1:22:50
  Speaker 2: He's leading.
• 1:22:50
  Speaker 11: Wow.
• 1:22:51
  Speaker 13: So if you look at the other races to compare
• 1:22:54
  Speaker 13: with us, people in Washington ask me, can Michelle Tafoya win? Yes,
• 1:22:59
  Speaker 13: absolutely she can.
• 1:23:00
  Speaker 2: You just made a great argument. I had no idea
• 1:23:02
  Speaker 2: that many Republicans were that competitive, even winning in the
• 1:23:05
  Speaker 2: state of Minnesota. I mean, I'm going to be honest
• 1:23:07
  Speaker 2: with you. I watch the Vikings because I love the NFL,
• 1:23:10
  Speaker 2: and I liked them against the Packers last week. And
• 1:23:12
  Speaker 2: you and I kind of joked around about Kyla Murray.
• 1:23:14
  Speaker 2: But outside of that, I've lost a lot of faith
• 1:23:16
  Speaker 2: in Minnesota. And you're there, and my cousin Norm Coleman,
• 1:23:19
  Speaker 2: who I love dearly, he's there. But I've lost a
• 1:23:21
  Speaker 2: lot of faith in that state.
• 1:23:22
  Speaker 13: Yeah, watch out for the governor's race, too. We've got
• 1:23:24
  Speaker 13: the current Speaker of the House, Lisa Damuth, running against
• 1:23:28
  Speaker 13: Amy Klobuchar. And everybody thinks, oh, well, you can't beat Amy.
• 1:23:31
  Speaker 2: That's what I think. Look out.
• 1:23:32
  Speaker 3: Really?
• 1:23:34
  Speaker 13: Look, does she have a great brand? She's built it
• 1:23:37
  Speaker 13: for years. But Sid, my district and the 8th district
• 1:23:41
  Speaker 13: in Minnesota, which is mine is north and east suburbs
• 1:23:45
  Speaker 13: of exurbs of Minneapolis.
• 1:23:48
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 1:23:49
  Speaker 13: The 8th is the Iron Range.
• 1:23:50
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 1:23:50
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 1:23:51
  Speaker 13: Do you know in 2018, Amy won my district and
• 1:23:54
  Speaker 13: she won the 8th. In 2024, she lost both of
• 1:23:58
  Speaker 13: them to Royce White.
• 1:24:00
  Speaker 2: He did lose to Roy Swank.
• 1:24:01
  Speaker 9: Yes.
• 1:24:01
  Speaker 2: I didn't know that.
• 1:24:02
  Speaker 3: No.
• 1:24:02
  Speaker 2: Okay. So, but she's just such a big name. I
• 1:24:05
  Speaker 2: don't know. I get very nervous.
• 1:24:07
  Speaker 13: Lisa is very capable. If anybody can pull this off,
• 1:24:10
  Speaker 13: Lisa can do it.
• 1:24:11
  Speaker 2: So, if we take the worst case scenario, the God
• 1:24:14
  Speaker 2: forbid scenario, and they actually do take back the House,
• 1:24:18
  Speaker 2: the Democrats, and Trump has said time and time again, look,
• 1:24:20
  Speaker 2: it doesn't matter how good I do. There's a history
• 1:24:23
  Speaker 2: of presidents who do well and the other party still,
• 1:24:26
  Speaker 2: for some reason... takes over the House, maybe the Senate, too.
• 1:24:31
  Speaker 2: Worst case scenario, are you worried that every day will
• 1:24:34
  Speaker 2: be impeached Trump and it'll be really difficult for President
• 1:24:38
  Speaker 2: Trump to get anything done in his final two years
• 1:24:41
  Speaker 2: of one of the greatest presidencies in the history of
• 1:24:43
  Speaker 2: our country?
• 1:24:44
  Speaker 13: Yeah, no, I'm absolutely. Why do you think I'm so motivated?
• 1:24:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:24:47
  Speaker 13: Donald Trump ran for four years, not for two. And
• 1:24:50
  Speaker 13: we've seen this playbook before. We actually, I don't know
• 1:24:53
  Speaker 13: if you know this, Sid, but last week we had
• 1:24:55
  Speaker 13: to deal with another impeachment move by the great Al Green. God,
• 1:25:00
  Speaker 13: I hope the door hits him.
• 1:25:01
  Speaker 2: Me too. He's such a piece of garbage. But a
• 1:25:03
  Speaker 2: lot of Democrats voted against it. They did. How about that?
• 1:25:06
  Speaker 13: You look at the core, and I should have brought
• 1:25:08
  Speaker 13: the list with me. These are people who are worried
• 1:25:11
  Speaker 13: about their races. By the way, I just got to
• 1:25:14
  Speaker 13: point out, everybody says the party in power, when they're
• 1:25:16
  Speaker 13: in the White House, you lose the midterm. Sid- When
• 1:25:20
  Speaker 13: did that become the case? One party controlled the House
• 1:25:24
  Speaker 13: for a half a century, not too long ago.
• 1:25:27
  Speaker 2: That's a good point.
• 1:25:28
  Speaker 13: We keep talking about 1994. That's a good point. And
• 1:25:31
  Speaker 13: we're just equally divided. We've got to run races that
• 1:25:35
  Speaker 13: target our actual voters. And Donald Trump, God bless him,
• 1:25:39
  Speaker 13: his whole motivation is to get people engaged and get
• 1:25:42
  Speaker 13: them out to vote. If our people show up, we're
• 1:25:45
  Speaker 13: going to be just fine.
• 1:25:46
  Speaker 2: All right. On the way out, you are so terrific, Tom.
• 1:25:48
  Speaker 2: You really are. So the Vikings have brought him up.
• 1:25:51
  Speaker 2: They beat the Packers. So they bring in Kyler Murray,
• 1:25:54
  Speaker 2: the former Arizona Cardinal. He won the Heisman at Oklahoma.
• 1:25:57
  Speaker 2: And I'm sitting there watching the game going, they can't
• 1:25:59
  Speaker 2: win with this guy. And I know the backups are
• 1:26:01
  Speaker 2: Carson Wentz and J.J.
• 1:26:02
  Speaker 12: McCarthy.
• 1:26:03
  Speaker 2: So Kyler gets hurt. I never want to see anybody
• 1:26:06
  Speaker 2: get hurt except for Aaron Rodgers. And nothing too bad,
• 1:26:12
  Speaker 2: nothing that will hurt his life, but he could be
• 1:26:13
  Speaker 2: done with the Steelers. I'd be happy. So Kyler gets hurt,
• 1:26:16
  Speaker 2: and I go, you know what? They got a chance now.
• 1:26:19
  Speaker 2: They could actually beat Green Bay. It started off ugly
• 1:26:21
  Speaker 2: for Carson, but in the third quarter, your Vikings went nuts.
• 1:26:24
  Speaker 13: Well, I tell you, Kyler is a hell of an athlete.
• 1:26:27
  Speaker 13: I mean, this guy's amazing. But what is he? He's
• 1:26:31
  Speaker 13: like four feet tall. He can't see over the line.
• 1:26:35
  Speaker 13: They've got to open up the line for him to
• 1:26:37
  Speaker 13: even see who's downfield, which is why you see the
• 1:26:40
  Speaker 13: poor guys start to run. The poor kid starts running
• 1:26:43
  Speaker 13: all over the place looking to make something happen. Look,
• 1:26:46
  Speaker 13: I don't wish anything bad on him either.
• 1:26:48
  Speaker 2: He's out.
• 1:26:49
  Speaker 13: Carson Wentz is the guy. Carson needs to get some
• 1:26:52
  Speaker 13: of his confidence back because the tools are there. I mean,
• 1:26:56
  Speaker 13: the damage that was done in Philadelphia. Those fans are
• 1:27:00
  Speaker 13: not the most forgiving people on the planet.
• 1:27:02
  Speaker 2: Most forgiving? They're like Hamas.
• 1:27:04
  Speaker 13: Well, they've got to get better. O'Connell is a quarterback's
• 1:27:08
  Speaker 13: coach for the Vikings.
• 1:27:09
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 1:27:09
  Speaker 13: They've got to get better at checking down quicker and
• 1:27:12
  Speaker 13: then unloading the ball. You asked me about J.J.
• 1:27:15
  Speaker 12: McCarthy.
• 1:27:15
  Speaker 13: I'm a fan.
• 1:27:16
  Speaker 2: Me too. Yeah, I don't know what's going on with J.J.
• 1:27:18
  Speaker 2: I mean, he made some bonehead decisions, but he's a kid.
• 1:27:20
  Speaker 2: He's a young quarterback. And I feel bad for Justin Jefferson.
• 1:27:23
  Speaker 2: I mean, between him and Addison, your wide receivers are
• 1:27:26
  Speaker 2: as good as anybody's in the NFL, and these poor
• 1:27:28
  Speaker 2: guys can't win. I know Justin's got to be pissed, right?
• 1:27:31
  Speaker 13: Oh, he's an amazing man.
• 1:27:33
  Speaker 2: He's a nice guy. He likes Trump. He does. Right?
• 1:27:36
  Speaker 13: Oh, yeah.
• 1:27:36
  Speaker 2: He donates to Republican causes. So if you're looking for
• 1:27:38
  Speaker 2: a guy to root for, folks, Pro Bowl wide receiver,
• 1:27:41
  Speaker 2: Minnesota Vikings from Emory State, Justin Jefferson. Tom, you're beautiful.
• 1:27:45
  Speaker 2: I love you. You really are.
• 1:27:47
  Speaker 13: Thank you, Sid.
• 1:27:47
  Speaker 2: You've become a good friend, and I appreciate you a lot.
• 1:27:49
  Speaker 13: Right back at you.
• 1:27:50
  Speaker 2: Thank you so much. Tom Emmer right here, the majority
• 1:27:52
  Speaker 2: whip and just a wonderful guy. And that's why Republicans,
• 1:27:56
  Speaker 2: that's why we're the better party, folks, because we've got
• 1:27:58
  Speaker 2: people like Tom Emmer right there running our ship. We'll
• 1:28:01
  Speaker 2: take a short break. Still to come, KT McFarlane, the
• 1:28:04
  Speaker 2: amazing defense attorney Joe Tacopina, and Joe Lisi. We'll talk
• 1:28:07
  Speaker 2: some college football. The Hurricanes are back at it tonight.
• 1:28:10
  Speaker 2: They're 2-0, and the number one Texas Longhorns. Can they
• 1:28:14
  Speaker 2: keep it up after Arch Manning? Came back to beat
• 1:28:17
  Speaker 2: the Buckeyes last week. All that still to come.
• 1:28:20
  Speaker 1: Sid and friends in the morning on the Red Apple
• 1:28:24
  Speaker 1: Podcast Network.
• 1:28:26
  Speaker 2: You tell them, Diana, baby. You're coming out, baby. Diana Ross,
• 1:28:30
  Speaker 2: 825 on what's been a cloudy morning. I haven't seen
• 1:28:33
  Speaker 2: any of that sunshine you guys keep talking about, but
• 1:28:36
  Speaker 2: got a pretty cloudy, rainy weekend about to come your way,
• 1:28:39
  Speaker 2: but who cares? Because it's football season and there's nothing
• 1:28:42
  Speaker 2: more annoying for me than to be sitting inside my
• 1:28:47
  Speaker 2: house watching a football game when it's 75 and sunny out.
• 1:28:51
  Speaker 2: Because I want to be outside laying in the sun.
• 1:28:54
  Speaker 2: So I actually welcome the bad weather once football starts.
• 1:28:57
  Speaker 2: It makes it much easier to be inside. And I
• 1:28:59
  Speaker 2: watch football all day Saturday and all day Sunday. I
• 1:29:03
  Speaker 2: love it. I just do. That's my escape from five
• 1:29:06
  Speaker 2: days of talking about all the things that are not
• 1:29:09
  Speaker 2: so great. Although yesterday was an amazing day for me.
• 1:29:13
  Speaker 2: It was beating J.D. Vance. And I'm sure you've all
• 1:29:17
  Speaker 2: seen the articles in the New York Post and other
• 1:29:21
  Speaker 2: sources online and They're accurate. I was on with John
• 1:29:24
  Speaker 2: and Rita yesterday, and the meeting went very, very well.
• 1:29:27
  Speaker 2: I think a lot of you wanted me to come
• 1:29:30
  Speaker 2: on the air today and said, well, you know what?
• 1:29:32
  Speaker 2: I yelled at him and I told him, you can't
• 1:29:33
  Speaker 2: be friends with Tucker Carlson anymore. Well, that didn't happen.
• 1:29:39
  Speaker 2: He knows how I feel about Tucker. Yesterday was the first,
• 1:29:43
  Speaker 2: and this is according to the vice president. Call him.
• 1:29:46
  Speaker 2: Call his staff. He'll tell you this. Not me. He
• 1:29:48
  Speaker 2: wants to talk to me often. That's what he said.
• 1:29:51
  Speaker 3: Often.
• 1:29:52
  Speaker 2: Often. So I didn't yell at him about Tucker. I
• 1:29:54
  Speaker 2: didn't yell. I could just say he's real subservient and
• 1:29:56
  Speaker 2: all that. We had some discussion. And a lot of
• 1:30:00
  Speaker 2: the discussion was, hey, nice to meet you. Nice to
• 1:30:04
  Speaker 2: know you. And it was fun. So now when you
• 1:30:08
  Speaker 2: earn that respect, that mutual respect, now J.D. Vance knows
• 1:30:14
  Speaker 2: that I'm not just some off-the-wall crazy Jew who wants
• 1:30:19
  Speaker 2: to kick the crap out of him. He knows I'm
• 1:30:21
  Speaker 2: angry about a few of the things that he said.
• 1:30:23
  Speaker 2: He knows that. I didn't like the word subservient a
• 1:30:26
  Speaker 2: couple days ago. I think he's exaggerating this whip between
• 1:30:31
  Speaker 2: Trump and Bibi. I know he is. And I don't
• 1:30:34
  Speaker 2: like Tucker. But yesterday was not the time for that.
• 1:30:39
  Speaker 2: So even though Politico wrote a big story, here comes
• 1:30:42
  Speaker 2: Sid with guns blazing and all that, I'm not going
• 1:30:47
  Speaker 2: to share everything discussed in that meeting. But I will
• 1:30:51
  Speaker 2: tell you that it was a pleasant, fun 20-something minutes.
• 1:31:02
  Speaker 2: And now, moving forward, we can get very serious about
• 1:31:06
  Speaker 2: topics that he trusts me with. And if you're a
• 1:31:12
  Speaker 2: patriot and you love this country, and my listeners do,
• 1:31:16
  Speaker 2: and you really want to make sure the guy that
• 1:31:18
  Speaker 2: replaces President Trump, is a guy that loves our country,
• 1:31:23
  Speaker 2: but at the same time doesn't kick Israel in the
• 1:31:26
  Speaker 2: face at every opportunity, then you want me to be
• 1:31:30
  Speaker 2: the guy to be that person to deal with people
• 1:31:33
  Speaker 2: like J.D. Vance. And J.D. was more than willing, more
• 1:31:39
  Speaker 2: than willing to listen and have many more conversations. I
• 1:31:44
  Speaker 2: didn't leave there yesterday and endorse J.D. Vance. In fact,
• 1:31:49
  Speaker 2: in the New York Post column last night, they took
• 1:31:53
  Speaker 2: exactly what I said on John and Rita's show. I said,
• 1:31:56
  Speaker 2: I'm still a Marco Rubio guy. I said it in
• 1:31:59
  Speaker 2: the meeting. I told those guys that. I was here
• 1:32:02
  Speaker 2: for Marco 16 years ago when he won his first
• 1:32:06
  Speaker 2: state Senate race in Florida. They knew all about it.
• 1:32:09
  Speaker 2: They knew all about it. So it's not like I
• 1:32:12
  Speaker 2: left and, oh, that's it. I love JD. That's it.
• 1:32:14
  Speaker 2: F Marco, F Ted Cruz.
• 1:32:16
  Speaker 20: No.
• 1:32:17
  Speaker 2: But, I do have a healthier amount of respect and
• 1:32:23
  Speaker 2: even admiration for J.D. He's a smart, likable, appable guy.
• 1:32:28
  Speaker 2: And I think he's willing. Here's the biggest. Here's the
• 1:32:31
  Speaker 2: most important part. Listen carefully. And this is what I'm
• 1:32:35
  Speaker 2: going to tell Mark Levin, Sean Hannity, a bunch of
• 1:32:39
  Speaker 2: people today. I think he's willing to work and willing
• 1:32:43
  Speaker 2: to listen. I really do. I don't think he hates
• 1:32:46
  Speaker 2: the Jews. I think Tucker does. I don't think he does.
• 1:32:49
  Speaker 2: I don't think he hates Israel.
• 1:32:51
  Speaker 12: I don't.
• 1:32:53
  Speaker 2: I could be wrong. Maybe he snowed me yesterday.
• 1:32:55
  Speaker 12: Maybe.
• 1:32:56
  Speaker 2: Maybe he conned me yesterday. Somebody on Twitter said, he
• 1:33:00
  Speaker 2: used you like a bitch. And I said, well, how
• 1:33:03
  Speaker 2: do you know I didn't use him? How do you know?
• 1:33:08
  Speaker 2: You know, doesn't it make sense for me with the
• 1:33:11
  Speaker 2: amazing relationship I've got with President Trump, which was amplified
• 1:33:15
  Speaker 2: again yesterday. Go to my social media. Look at that
• 1:33:19
  Speaker 2: amazing picture with me and Trump in the Oval Office together.
• 1:33:22
  Speaker 2: We had great conversation. I can say this and it's true.
• 1:33:26
  Speaker 2: He loves me. He loves me. He likes a lot
• 1:33:29
  Speaker 2: of people at the station. He loves me and I
• 1:33:32
  Speaker 2: love him. So doesn't it make sense? That I would
• 1:33:35
  Speaker 2: try to maintain those types of relationships as a Republican,
• 1:33:39
  Speaker 2: a MAGA Republican, a Trump supporter with his current administration,
• 1:33:44
  Speaker 2: with a guy that in all likelihood will be the
• 1:33:46
  Speaker 2: next president. Can Rubio beat him?
• 1:33:48
  Speaker 19: Sure.
• 1:33:49
  Speaker 2: But Marco hasn't even announced he's running yet. So why
• 1:33:52
  Speaker 2: would I just go out there and obliterate J.D. Vance?
• 1:33:55
  Speaker 2: Just obliterate him. and end any hopes of any relationship
• 1:34:00
  Speaker 2: moving forward. You guys need me there. He knows that.
• 1:34:04
  Speaker 2: Some of you are too stupid to figure that out.
• 1:34:06
  Speaker 2: You just want to go and yell, I don't do that.
• 1:34:09
  Speaker 2: I don't do that on this show. At least the
• 1:34:11
  Speaker 2: fight with Bernard got rest his soul. He'd say, oh,
• 1:34:14
  Speaker 2: the blood's on your hands. Those people don't come back.
• 1:34:17
  Speaker 2: The idea is come back. Unless I blow you off,
• 1:34:22
  Speaker 2: which I do almost never. I don't want to blow J.D.
• 1:34:26
  Speaker 2: Vance off. He may be the next president. He needs
• 1:34:29
  Speaker 2: people like me in his ear. So there's a time
• 1:34:33
  Speaker 2: and a place for everything. And that time and place,
• 1:34:37
  Speaker 2: it ain't two months away. It ain't six months away.
• 1:34:40
  Speaker 2: It may be a week away. That's it. I mean,
• 1:34:43
  Speaker 2: I've already spoken to his chief of staff, Nick Luna,
• 1:34:45
  Speaker 2: three times already since I left the White House last night.
• 1:34:49
  Speaker 2: So let's see what happens here. Let's see what happens.
• 1:34:53
  Speaker 2: But the day altogether between visiting J.D., visiting President Trump,
• 1:35:00
  Speaker 2: taking pictures in the Oval, having my wife meet the
• 1:35:03
  Speaker 2: President for the very first time, that was really cool.
• 1:35:07
  Speaker 2: And seeing Mark Wayne Mullen and seeing Jay Clayton and
• 1:35:11
  Speaker 2: all these other important members of the Trump administration. and
• 1:35:15
  Speaker 2: the amount of reverence and respect they show me, I'm
• 1:35:19
  Speaker 2: a radio guy. I'm not a congressman. I'm not a senator.
• 1:35:22
  Speaker 2: I'm not a member of the Trump administration. I'm none
• 1:35:26
  Speaker 2: of those things. I'm a radio guy. They treat me
• 1:35:28
  Speaker 2: like I'm Trump's kid. It's really beautiful. So yesterday was
• 1:35:35
  Speaker 2: one of my favorite days in my life. If God
• 1:35:38
  Speaker 2: is good to me, I'll be 60 in April. Nothing
• 1:35:40
  Speaker 2: compares to getting married or having children and all that,
• 1:35:43
  Speaker 2: but on a work level, career level, and even a
• 1:35:49
  Speaker 2: personal level, yesterday was as thrilling as it gets. Just is.
• 1:35:54
  Speaker 2: They're walking me from J.D. Vance's office to the Oval Office. J.D.
• 1:35:58
  Speaker 2: Vance treating me with a tremendous amount of respect, all
• 1:36:02
  Speaker 2: the reverence and love from President Trump. Just amazing. It's amazing.
• 1:36:07
  Speaker 2: So that's what my day was like, Kevin Jost, yesterday.
• 1:36:11
  Speaker 2: What did you do? Ha ha ha ha. What was
• 1:36:15
  Speaker 2: your day like yesterday, Kevin Drosh?
• 1:36:16
  Speaker 13: I spent the morning with you, which was lovely.
• 1:36:19
  Speaker 2: That's fun.
• 1:36:19
  Speaker 13: And then I was just thinking about you all night
• 1:36:21
  Speaker 13: because I was like, I really hope it was a
• 1:36:22
  Speaker 13: great meeting.
• 1:36:24
  Speaker 2: That's kind of gay, bro. It was really, yeah. It was.
• 1:36:27
  Speaker 2: It was a great meeting, so thank you for that.
• 1:36:29
  Speaker 2: And then I retweeted the article about you in the Post.
• 1:36:32
  Speaker 13: And I said, what a world, what a life.
• 1:36:34
  Speaker 2: Now, not only the article in the Post, but what's
• 1:36:36
  Speaker 2: great about the article, Kev, is... The article, the title,
• 1:36:40
  Speaker 2: used my whole name. You never see that. Normally it's
• 1:36:43
  Speaker 2: like radio host. Right, radio host. Sid Rosenberg charms J.D. Vance.
• 1:36:49
  Speaker 2: That's good recognition right there. That was great. And the
• 1:36:52
  Speaker 2: kid's name is Josh Christensen. I don't know him. Couldn't
• 1:36:55
  Speaker 2: pick him out of a lineup. But he did reach
• 1:36:57
  Speaker 2: out to me and said that he was listening to
• 1:37:00
  Speaker 2: John and Rita, heard the interview. and wrote the story
• 1:37:03
  Speaker 2: right away for the New York Post and did a
• 1:37:05
  Speaker 2: good job. So Josh did a good job with that.
• 1:37:08
  Speaker 2: Nino DeNino did a good story here at WABC, posted
• 1:37:12
  Speaker 2: the Oval Office picture, and all these other Jewish blogs,
• 1:37:15
  Speaker 2: you know, they've got the stories out there. It was
• 1:37:17
  Speaker 2: all good. So moving forward, if you look at me
• 1:37:22
  Speaker 2: as the guy that can represent America first, let's not
• 1:37:25
  Speaker 2: get confused, America first, but also the best interests of
• 1:37:30
  Speaker 2: the Jews and Israel, yesterday, was a slam dunk in
• 1:37:34
  Speaker 2: A +. A 12 out of 1 to 10. We'll
• 1:37:38
  Speaker 2: take a short break, my dear friend of 48 years,
• 1:37:41
  Speaker 2: the best defense attorney in the world, Joseph Takapina. His
• 1:37:44
  Speaker 2: Friday appearance is next.
• 1:37:47
  Speaker 7: Sid and Friends.
• 1:37:48
  Speaker 1: In the Morning on the Red Apple Podcast Network.
• 1:37:53
  Speaker 2: That's my guy right there, current Nassau County executive, soon
• 1:37:56
  Speaker 2: to be the next governor here in New York when
• 1:37:57
  Speaker 2: he kicks Hijab Hochul's ass, my man Bruce Blakeman, on
• 1:38:01
  Speaker 2: the red carpet at the WABC Gala last Friday. He's
• 1:38:04
  Speaker 2: dying for me to run for mayor. And when he
• 1:38:07
  Speaker 2: wins in November, he's going to ask me, and then
• 1:38:09
  Speaker 2: I'm going to have a whole issue with Danielle, and
• 1:38:10
  Speaker 2: that's fine. Walking around the White House yesterday and hanging
• 1:38:14
  Speaker 2: out with Vance and Trump, I know I can do it.
• 1:38:16
  Speaker 2: I'm being serious. I can do it. I'm not afraid.
• 1:38:19
  Speaker 2: I'm not intimidated. I got the charisma. I got the
• 1:38:23
  Speaker 2: good looks. I got nice sport jackets. Even wore a
• 1:38:27
  Speaker 2: tie yesterday. Everybody freaked out. Look how good Sid looks.
• 1:38:30
  Speaker 2: in that blue suit and the red tie. Vicky Palladino,
• 1:38:33
  Speaker 2: thank you. I'm being serious. I can do it. But, well,
• 1:38:37
  Speaker 2: Bruce has to win first before that even becomes a conversation.
• 1:38:39
  Speaker 2: Then I played Born to be Alive because I've turned
• 1:38:42
  Speaker 2: this into a disco Friday today before Lou gets back
• 1:38:44
  Speaker 2: on Tuesday. We'll be up Monday for Yom Kippur. So
• 1:38:48
  Speaker 2: the combination of Justin Ellick and Kevin Drosh have allowed
• 1:38:51
  Speaker 2: me to pick the music all day. And it's all
• 1:38:53
  Speaker 2: disco because Friday night is the big night, Saturday night beaver,
• 1:38:57
  Speaker 2: you know, and I used to go to the underground
• 1:38:59
  Speaker 2: every Friday night in the city. It was a big deal.
• 1:39:03
  Speaker 2: I went to the Palladium. I went to Bedrocks. I
• 1:39:05
  Speaker 2: did all of them. I did Heat Waves in Sheepshead Bay.
• 1:39:08
  Speaker 2: I did Short Ribs on 3rd Avenue. And I started
• 1:39:11
  Speaker 2: to wonder because back then I was great buddies with
• 1:39:14
  Speaker 2: Joe Takapina at Poly Prep. Then I didn't see him much.
• 1:39:18
  Speaker 2: He went to college at Skidmore. I went to Miami.
• 1:39:21
  Speaker 2: It was a couple of years when Joe came back
• 1:39:23
  Speaker 2: and became this powerhouse attorney when we really kind of
• 1:39:26
  Speaker 2: revitalized the brothership. So I don't really know what Joe did,
• 1:39:31
  Speaker 2: like where he partied, all the clubs and stuff like that.
• 1:39:33
  Speaker 2: I would see him every now and then with the
• 1:39:35
  Speaker 2: Polly guys at Hobnails on 3rd Avenue, maybe Palladium. But Joe,
• 1:39:39
  Speaker 2: what was your disco hangout back then on the weekends?
• 1:39:44
  Speaker 12: Oh, the Roller Palace.
• 1:39:46
  Speaker 2: Really? Roller Palace?
• 1:39:47
  Speaker 12: I could skate, right? I was a hockey player, so
• 1:39:49
  Speaker 12: I could skate.
• 1:39:49
  Speaker 2: You're a great hockey player. That was my move, man. Yeah.
• 1:39:52
  Speaker 12: If I didn't go in the Roller Palace, even if
• 1:39:54
  Speaker 12: it was roller skating, that was how I had an
• 1:39:56
  Speaker 12: upper hand on all the other guys.
• 1:39:57
  Speaker 2: No kidding.
• 1:39:58
  Speaker 12: The Roller Palace was my spot.
• 1:39:59
  Speaker 2: Now, that place is on Sheepshead Bay Road. It's like
• 1:40:02
  Speaker 2: a Bally's gym now, right?
• 1:40:04
  Speaker 12: Yeah, exactly. Exactly right. And, of course, you just said
• 1:40:06
  Speaker 12: Hot Nails on 3rd Avenue and Bay Ridge with all
• 1:40:09
  Speaker 12: the boys from Polly with, you know, Danny Fogg and
• 1:40:12
  Speaker 12: Hannah and and Bill Corso, the whole crew, Anastasio. Yeah, yeah,
• 1:40:16
  Speaker 12: that was good.
• 1:40:17
  Speaker 2: They want to get the, you know, Johnny Barron's and
• 1:40:20
  Speaker 2: Scott Leon's. Yeah, they want to put the whole crew
• 1:40:22
  Speaker 2: back together. I told you this last week. One day
• 1:40:25
  Speaker 2: next week at the San Gennaro Feast, specifically my buddy
• 1:40:29
  Speaker 2: Tommy and his brother Sal Leonard, they own El Cortil.
• 1:40:32
  Speaker 2: We want to get the band back together, Joseph. What
• 1:40:34
  Speaker 2: do you think?
• 1:40:35
  Speaker 12: I'm there, man. Let's do it. That would be fun.
• 1:40:37
  Speaker 12: That would be absolutely fun, man.
• 1:40:39
  Speaker 2: That would be great. So, you know, it's funny. I
• 1:40:42
  Speaker 2: thought about you again yesterday, right? This whole thing with
• 1:40:45
  Speaker 2: President Trump. I got to remind people, a lot of
• 1:40:48
  Speaker 2: people have helped me along the way solidify this relationship.
• 1:40:51
  Speaker 2: Andrew Giuliani did an awful lot for me, an awful lot.
• 1:40:54
  Speaker 2: But the guy that started all this, pick up the phone,
• 1:40:57
  Speaker 2: KT's calling, Kevin, is Joseph. Joseph was on the way
• 1:41:02
  Speaker 2: to meet President Trump at Mar-a-Lago in When President Trump's
• 1:41:06
  Speaker 2: legal issues started to pile up very early on, and
• 1:41:10
  Speaker 2: he met with President Trump and Eric Trump and a
• 1:41:12
  Speaker 2: bunch of others, and he called me on the way
• 1:41:14
  Speaker 2: to the airport. He said, am I doing the right thing?
• 1:41:16
  Speaker 2: I said, yes. Come on, man. This guy's the president.
• 1:41:20
  Speaker 2: It's going to be huge for you. And what does
• 1:41:21
  Speaker 2: Joe do in return? He goes down there, and he's
• 1:41:24
  Speaker 2: sitting with Trump at some meal, if I'm wrong. Correct me.
• 1:41:27
  Speaker 2: And he goes, you know, my boy Sid, he loves you. Now,
• 1:41:32
  Speaker 2: what you told me then was Trump right away said
• 1:41:34
  Speaker 2: I love him too. Truth is, back then, we had
• 1:41:36
  Speaker 2: almost no relationship, the president and I. I mean nothing.
• 1:41:40
  Speaker 2: It all started right there.
• 1:41:42
  Speaker 12: Yeah, I educated him a little bit to your background
• 1:41:44
  Speaker 12: on how strong you are in supporting him. And I said, look,
• 1:41:47
  Speaker 12: you need friends right now, especially in New York City,
• 1:41:49
  Speaker 12: where all these things go on his show. And, and
• 1:41:52
  Speaker 12: he looked at me and said, okay, I'll go on
• 1:41:54
  Speaker 12: a show. And I said, oh, you will.
• 1:41:56
  Speaker 2: And yeah.
• 1:41:56
  Speaker 12: And then of course, all this press people to the
• 1:41:58
  Speaker 12: right and left of him, you know, Steven Chung and
• 1:42:01
  Speaker 12: Miller and all these guys, they looked at me like
• 1:42:03
  Speaker 12: they wanted to stab me with the state. I mean,
• 1:42:07
  Speaker 12: they like to control very much the, and I got
• 1:42:10
  Speaker 12: a little extra later about Joe, you know, there's a
• 1:42:12
  Speaker 12: protocol with the boss and you got to go through.
• 1:42:14
  Speaker 12: I'm like, Oh, okay.
• 1:42:15
  Speaker 2: I didn't know that.
• 1:42:15
  Speaker 12: I just told him he should go on my friend's show.
• 1:42:18
  Speaker 12: And he did it. He did it. That was the
• 1:42:19
  Speaker 12: end of it.
• 1:42:20
  Speaker 2: So, I mean, yeah.
• 1:42:21
  Speaker 12: You know, when you become vice president of the United States,
• 1:42:24
  Speaker 12: I want, you know, with J.D.
• 1:42:25
  Speaker 2: Vance on the ticket.
• 1:42:27
  Speaker 12: Just remember that, brother.
• 1:42:28
  Speaker 2: I won't forget. That's why I brought it up this morning.
• 1:42:30
  Speaker 2: I took a nice picture with Trump in the Oval
• 1:42:32
  Speaker 2: Office yesterday. The Vance Rosenberg 2028 ticket. You're a guy
• 1:42:38
  Speaker 2: that's met a lot of big-time people, represented big-time people,
• 1:42:42
  Speaker 2: and One court case is, quite frankly, for big-time people.
• 1:42:45
  Speaker 2: Serving ever cross your mind? I mean, you do stuff
• 1:42:47
  Speaker 2: with the Army, which is bigger and better for me
• 1:42:51
  Speaker 2: than any service you can possibly do. So while I'm
• 1:42:54
  Speaker 2: at it, thank you for your service. But did public service,
• 1:42:58
  Speaker 2: one of these political roles, ever cross your mind?
• 1:43:01
  Speaker 12: Not a lot. You know, it was like, you know,
• 1:43:05
  Speaker 12: Trump had mentioned to me, he said, well, you should
• 1:43:06
  Speaker 12: come to D.C. with me. You'll be the attorney early on.
• 1:43:09
  Speaker 12: And I was like, yeah, unless I'm on the take.
• 1:43:12
  Speaker 12: As an attorney general, I can't afford to go to D.C.
• 1:43:15
  Speaker 12: And I don't really want to have a bribery scandal.
• 1:43:18
  Speaker 12: You know, my first year as AG. So it was
• 1:43:22
  Speaker 12: nothing that I really could give a serious amount of
• 1:43:24
  Speaker 12: attention to. Now, maybe different. Obviously, if you're there. Well,
• 1:43:27
  Speaker 12: that would be a whole different story. I'll be there
• 1:43:29
  Speaker 12: with you. You know that.
• 1:43:30
  Speaker 2: And you know that. And your buddy, your good buddy,
• 1:43:32
  Speaker 2: Todd Blanche, he is the attorney general right now. Yep.
• 1:43:35
  Speaker 12: Todd's a good friend, and I'm so happy he is
• 1:43:37
  Speaker 12: the attorney general. He's such a great guy and a
• 1:43:39
  Speaker 12: great lawyer and a calming presence when we need some
• 1:43:42
  Speaker 12: calming presence in D.C., especially at Justice. So a good guy, yep.
• 1:43:47
  Speaker 12: And we were co-counsel in many cases, and we became
• 1:43:49
  Speaker 12: very good friends, both avid Ranger fans. And so he's
• 1:43:52
  Speaker 12: doing a great job. And you know he's doing a
• 1:43:55
  Speaker 12: great job because you don't hear his name every single day, right?
• 1:43:58
  Speaker 12: That's sort of what a general is supposed to be doing.
• 1:44:01
  Speaker 12: And the role I play now as the United States
• 1:44:03
  Speaker 12: Army Ambassador, it's an honor to serve in that capacity,
• 1:44:05
  Speaker 12: especially as a former Ranger and whatnot. So it's really
• 1:44:09
  Speaker 12: a very important role, even though it's not that type
• 1:44:12
  Speaker 12: of role. It's not an administration role. It's not anything—
• 1:44:15
  Speaker 12: to the level you're talking about. But yeah, anything I
• 1:44:18
  Speaker 12: can do to serve this country, Sid, would be absolutely
• 1:44:20
  Speaker 12: my honor.
• 1:44:21
  Speaker 2: Well, you are. It's a big deal. You're not the
• 1:44:22
  Speaker 2: Secretary of Army. That was almost Vinnie Viola's. He didn't
• 1:44:24
  Speaker 2: want it. But it's a very, very big deal. And
• 1:44:27
  Speaker 2: you know what you're talking about. You're friends with all
• 1:44:29
  Speaker 2: these generals, some of which you believe, and I don't disagree,
• 1:44:33
  Speaker 2: were asked to leave when they shouldn't have been. Pete
• 1:44:35
  Speaker 2: Hexeth has come up to fire for some of that.
• 1:44:37
  Speaker 2: So I will tell you that the last thing the
• 1:44:38
  Speaker 2: president said to me as I exited the Oval Office
• 1:44:41
  Speaker 2: yesterday was, Sid, you're going to like what I'm doing
• 1:44:43
  Speaker 2: in Iran next week. You're going to like it. Because
• 1:44:46
  Speaker 2: he knows that I've been back and forth and critical
• 1:44:48
  Speaker 2: of times So you tell me your opinion on where
• 1:44:51
  Speaker 2: we are in this as I call it now Iran conflict.
• 1:44:55
  Speaker 12: Look, I think Iran Iran Wars reached sort of a
• 1:44:59
  Speaker 12: dangerous decision point right the Strait of Hormuz is operating
• 1:45:03
  Speaker 12: at a fraction of normal traffic said tankers being attacked
• 1:45:06
  Speaker 12: oil remains above $ 100 a barrel and And Iran's effectively
• 1:45:10
  Speaker 12: trying to charge ships for safe passage. The United States
• 1:45:14
  Speaker 12: cannot permit this Revolutionary Guard to operate in this– it
• 1:45:19
  Speaker 12: really is an international maritime protection racket. So you can't
• 1:45:24
  Speaker 12: do that. We don't have the mafia on the water.
• 1:45:27
  Speaker 12: But we also need to distinguish between defending– Navigation, eliminating
• 1:45:33
  Speaker 12: military threats and attempting to overthrow an entire government. So
• 1:45:36
  Speaker 12: the president is absolutely right to maintain overwhelming military leverage.
• 1:45:40
  Speaker 12: He is. But, you know, the administration really has to
• 1:45:44
  Speaker 12: tell the American people what victory means, because we haven't
• 1:45:47
  Speaker 12: really done that yet.
• 1:45:48
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 1:45:48
  Speaker 12: We've pronounced victory. a dozen times, Sid, at least a
• 1:45:51
  Speaker 12: dozen times. And we have to really explain what victory means.
• 1:45:55
  Speaker 12: So protect our troops, open the sea lanes, destroy the
• 1:45:58
  Speaker 12: forces attacking Americans. Easy. Three boxes to check. You know,
• 1:46:02
  Speaker 12: but let's not stumble into a massive ground war without
• 1:46:05
  Speaker 12: a defined mission. And that's what a lot of the
• 1:46:07
  Speaker 12: military guys are concerned about, right? Congressional involvement and a
• 1:46:11
  Speaker 12: credible plan for what happens afterwards is what we need. So,
• 1:46:14
  Speaker 12: you know, we just don't want to go in there
• 1:46:16
  Speaker 12: and just go in without a plan. That was the
• 1:46:20
  Speaker 12: problem initially. We went in without a plan. And I
• 1:46:22
  Speaker 12: blame Department of Defense on that one. I blame D-Texas.
• 1:46:25
  Speaker 12: I mean, we went in there. We didn't secure our
• 1:46:27
  Speaker 12: embassies and our bases properly. And, Sid, our embassies and
• 1:46:31
  Speaker 12: our bases were annihilated. So, you know, we just have to,
• 1:46:35
  Speaker 12: have to have a plan to go in. The mission
• 1:46:37
  Speaker 12: should be clear. Protect Americans, open the sea lanes, neutralize
• 1:46:40
  Speaker 12: the threat, and avoid another 20-year occupation. That's what we
• 1:46:43
  Speaker 12: have to do.
• 1:46:44
  Speaker 2: Fair enough. Let me get to this trial, which is
• 1:46:47
  Speaker 2: the trial that everybody's still talking about, Lindsay Clancy, which
• 1:46:51
  Speaker 2: you predicted correctly that would end in a mistrial, and
• 1:46:54
  Speaker 2: it did.
• 1:46:55
  Speaker 10: Yep.
• 1:46:55
  Speaker 2: And it turns out this 12th juror was actually the
• 1:46:59
  Speaker 2: cover of the New York Post last night. This 12th
• 1:47:01
  Speaker 2: juror had a lot of a lot of attention. The
• 1:47:04
  Speaker 2: folks aren't paying that much attention. But no, the case,
• 1:47:07
  Speaker 2: of course, this lady ended up killing three of her
• 1:47:09
  Speaker 2: own children. What is the whole controversy around this 12th juror?
• 1:47:14
  Speaker 12: There really should be no controversy. I mean, except we're
• 1:47:16
  Speaker 12: in a different world now. I mean, you know, the
• 1:47:19
  Speaker 12: jurors are now doing television interviews.
• 1:47:20
  Speaker 2: He has a lawyer.
• 1:47:21
  Speaker 12: That's crazy. It's so upside down as far as I'm concerned,
• 1:47:24
  Speaker 12: but when it comes to this legal system. But this
• 1:47:27
  Speaker 12: juror did exactly what our system required him to do, Sid.
• 1:47:30
  Speaker 12: He listened to seven weeks of evidence. He made an
• 1:47:34
  Speaker 12: independent judgment, and he refused to surrender that judgment merely
• 1:47:37
  Speaker 12: because 11 other people disagreed with him. So that's what
• 1:47:40
  Speaker 12: happens in trials, and that's what we want. So I
• 1:47:44
  Speaker 12: wasn't in that jury room, right? I didn't hear every
• 1:47:46
  Speaker 12: piece of evidence or what they discussed, so I can't
• 1:47:47
  Speaker 12: declare that the juror was right or he was wrong
• 1:47:50
  Speaker 12: or the others were— 11 were wrong. But I will absolutely
• 1:47:54
  Speaker 12: defend his right and his duty to reach his own
• 1:47:58
  Speaker 12: honest verdict. So, you know, a juror is not a
• 1:48:00
  Speaker 12: popularity contest. 11 votes don't erase the 12 jurors' one
• 1:48:04
  Speaker 12: vote at all. It doesn't mean, you know, the minority
• 1:48:10
  Speaker 12: juror must eventually cave or surrender to the majority. So
• 1:48:13
  Speaker 12: this is what's supposed to happen. He gave some good. Look,
• 1:48:17
  Speaker 12: I guess the reason he did this interview was to explain.
• 1:48:20
  Speaker 12: his thinking. And honestly, he came up with some good
• 1:48:24
  Speaker 12: answers to explain why he was holding strong. And I
• 1:48:29
  Speaker 12: think that was great for him because he was coming–
• 1:48:31
  Speaker 12: there were death threats to his family. You understand that?
• 1:48:34
  Speaker 12: A juror, someone who served– You know, something that you
• 1:48:38
  Speaker 12: get pulled out of your daily routine in life. You
• 1:48:40
  Speaker 12: don't get money for it. You're sitting there and you
• 1:48:42
  Speaker 12: have to listen. And that's a major important part. I mean,
• 1:48:45
  Speaker 12: aside from, honestly, military service, I can't think of another
• 1:48:49
  Speaker 12: thing you need to do as a citizen to contribute
• 1:48:50
  Speaker 12: to society as much as being a juror. And so, honestly,
• 1:48:55
  Speaker 12: when I hear stuff like a juror's being threatened or
• 1:48:57
  Speaker 12: a family's being threatened, it makes me sick to my stomach.
• 1:49:01
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 1:49:01
  Speaker 12: If a juror truly says, I have a reasonable doubt
• 1:49:03
  Speaker 12: that the prosecution proved some irresponsibility, okay, but then votes
• 1:49:09
  Speaker 12: guilty anyway, that would really conflict with the judge's instructions
• 1:49:14
  Speaker 12: in the American law. We don't ever want that. So anyway, look,
• 1:49:18
  Speaker 12: I just feel that at this point, This juror has
• 1:49:21
  Speaker 12: explained himself. The juror should not be vilified, mainly because
• 1:49:24
  Speaker 12: he's still alone. Yeah, I'll talk to that.
• 1:49:26
  Speaker 20: Right?
• 1:49:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no, makes sense.
• 1:49:27
  Speaker 12: The request for mental illness was powerful. She did. But
• 1:49:30
  Speaker 12: mental illness and legal insanity, I've said this to you before,
• 1:49:33
  Speaker 12: are not synonymous. They are not. So he says the planning,
• 1:49:37
  Speaker 12: the manner of the killings, her conduct convinced him that
• 1:49:39
  Speaker 12: she remained criminally responsible, period. End of story. That's his position.
• 1:49:42
  Speaker 12: So we could debate whether he was right or wrong.
• 1:49:45
  Speaker 12: But that's not what this is. Okay? It requires evidence.
• 1:49:50
  Speaker 12: A unanimous jury verdict requires all 12 to vote one
• 1:49:55
  Speaker 12: way or another. So it's not 11 and 1 to
• 1:49:58
  Speaker 12: hold out, and therefore that 1 must be wrong because
• 1:50:00
  Speaker 12: 11 are right. So I'm sure that's precisely the lawful
• 1:50:03
  Speaker 12: result when you have something like this happen. I'm not
• 1:50:06
  Speaker 12: sure I can agree. So I support this guy. Again,
• 1:50:09
  Speaker 12: I don't really know enough about the evidence. I mean,
• 1:50:13
  Speaker 12: we talked about some of the facts in this case
• 1:50:15
  Speaker 12: about her mental illness, which was clear. But again, that's
• 1:50:18
  Speaker 12: not legal insanity.
• 1:50:20
  Speaker 2: No, those are two different things. Before we wrap this
• 1:50:22
  Speaker 2: great conversation up, I know it was a week ago today,
• 1:50:25
  Speaker 2: believe it or not, already a week since we commemorated
• 1:50:28
  Speaker 2: that 9-11 day, and President Trump was on this show
• 1:50:32
  Speaker 2: for like an hour, but he was at the Pentagon
• 1:50:33
  Speaker 2: that day, and Mamdani and AOC were yucking it up,
• 1:50:36
  Speaker 2: having a grand old time, reading off the name of
• 1:50:39
  Speaker 2: murdered victims. What a great time to chuckle and laugh,
• 1:50:42
  Speaker 2: AOC and that asshole Mamdani. But you were at Fort Bragg.
• 1:50:46
  Speaker 2: Tell me what that experience was like.
• 1:50:48
  Speaker 12: That was also very beautiful. I mean, it was at
• 1:50:50
  Speaker 12: the 18th Airborne Corps, which is our special operations forces
• 1:50:55
  Speaker 12: command center in Fort Bragg. And I was invited there
• 1:50:58
  Speaker 12: by the Army General Anderson, who hosted this. And it
• 1:51:02
  Speaker 12: was really a special event because a lot of those...
• 1:51:07
  Speaker 12: Soldiers from those two units, the Special Operations Forces and
• 1:51:11
  Speaker 12: that command and 18th Airborne Corps were in response to 9-11,
• 1:51:15
  Speaker 12: went right over to Afghanistan. And to hear some of
• 1:51:19
  Speaker 12: the stories was really heart-wrenching. And then a New York
• 1:51:21
  Speaker 12: City firefighter paramedic who was there on 9-11. um, spoke
• 1:51:26
  Speaker 12: and boy, oh boy, that was hard to get through.
• 1:51:29
  Speaker 12: So it was really, um, it was really very touching.
• 1:51:32
  Speaker 12: It was very important. And it really was a very
• 1:51:33
  Speaker 12: solid event push, you know, so we both lost a
• 1:51:36
  Speaker 12: lot of people there. I lost, I didn't count the
• 1:51:39
  Speaker 12: number of friends and family members I lost anymore.
• 1:51:42
  Speaker 2: Um, a lot of poly guys, 11 poly people died
• 1:51:44
  Speaker 2: that day.
• 1:51:45
  Speaker 12: Yep. 11 poly people and cousins. And it was just
• 1:51:48
  Speaker 12: to sit there and, You know, it just hit me
• 1:51:51
  Speaker 12: so hard that day and to listen to this. And
• 1:51:54
  Speaker 12: I was sitting in the front row with General Anderson, like,
• 1:51:57
  Speaker 12: sitting there. I couldn't even, like, hide my tears. It
• 1:51:59
  Speaker 12: was really a difficult, difficult day. But it was done
• 1:52:02
  Speaker 12: so well, as the Army always does. They stand up
• 1:52:04
  Speaker 12: and something like that. So it was an important and
• 1:52:06
  Speaker 12: beautiful event. But, yes, at the same time when I
• 1:52:08
  Speaker 12: saw that video. of those two pieces of garbage, you know,
• 1:52:14
  Speaker 12: smiling and chatting. And I'm not saying they were laughing
• 1:52:16
  Speaker 12: at the deceased people. Bill Smith. But the fact that
• 1:52:20
  Speaker 12: they didn't even have the decency when the parents, the
• 1:52:23
  Speaker 12: family members and members of the community were bawling their
• 1:52:27
  Speaker 12: eyes out during the roll, during the roll call reading.
• 1:52:30
  Speaker 12: And they're sitting there talking about God knows what, whatever
• 1:52:35
  Speaker 12: the hell they were talking about. You know, it's unbelievable
• 1:52:38
  Speaker 12: to me that they didn't even have the judgment to
• 1:52:41
  Speaker 12: just shut up for five minutes and let that happen
• 1:52:44
  Speaker 12: with dignity. Look a little solemn. You know, I know
• 1:52:47
  Speaker 12: he doesn't care about the one who died at 9-11.
• 1:52:50
  Speaker 2: No, he did care about Muhammad Atta, the guy that
• 1:52:53
  Speaker 2: crashed the plane into the building. He was upset for him.
• 1:52:56
  Speaker 12: Yeah, exactly. I mean, that was a great loss.
• 1:52:58
  Speaker 2: That was a great loss for him. But yeah, the
• 1:53:00
  Speaker 2: New Yorkers, he didn't care. I actually got mad.
• 1:53:02
  Speaker 12: That was disgusting to me.
• 1:53:03
  Speaker 2: It was gross.
• 1:53:04
  Speaker 12: That may have been, aside from sitting there when Hassan
• 1:53:07
  Speaker 12: Piker said that we deserve, the Americans deserve 9-11, and
• 1:53:10
  Speaker 12: him not saying anything, because that's the same thing as saying,
• 1:53:11
  Speaker 12: I agree with you. When you don't say anything, when
• 1:53:13
  Speaker 12: someone says that, that's saying, I agree with you. That's
• 1:53:15
  Speaker 12: what our mayor has done. Aside from that, this was
• 1:53:18
  Speaker 12: the worst thing I've ever seen, because there were people
• 1:53:21
  Speaker 12: crying as the family members' names being read, and then
• 1:53:25
  Speaker 12: like yucking it up like they couldn't be bothered. That's
• 1:53:27
  Speaker 12: why you should have stayed the hell away from that place.
• 1:53:29
  Speaker 12: You really should have.
• 1:53:30
  Speaker 2: Would have been a nice move. Last one, 60 seconds. Stanford,
• 1:53:34
  Speaker 2: very impressive road win last week. They were up by
• 1:53:38
  Speaker 2: 70 points. I never saw this ever in my whole life.
• 1:53:41
  Speaker 2: I'll be 60 in April. The team actually left after
• 1:53:44
  Speaker 2: the third quarter. They said, okay, we've had enough. They
• 1:53:47
  Speaker 2: were down 77-7, Florida A & M. A little more
• 1:53:50
  Speaker 2: competition tonight, Wake Forest, but Miami is still a three-touchdown
• 1:53:54
  Speaker 2: favorite on the road. I expect them to go to 3-0,
• 1:53:56
  Speaker 2: and they look amazing. We both said the team that
• 1:54:00
  Speaker 2: went to the National Championship game last year, they lost
• 1:54:02
  Speaker 2: to Indiana, but they got there. they're better. This quarterback
• 1:54:05
  Speaker 2: Mensah is better than Beck. The defense is even better.
• 1:54:08
  Speaker 2: They have more experience. These young guys at wide receiver,
• 1:54:11
  Speaker 2: this hurricane team looks like a wrecking ball.
• 1:54:15
  Speaker 12: Malik Saitani is the best player in college football, period,
• 1:54:18
  Speaker 12: end of story. He's a game changer, dynamics in a
• 1:54:22
  Speaker 12: different way. I was down there watching the practice, spoke
• 1:54:24
  Speaker 12: to Mario Cristobal, and it's just unbelievable to me, Sid,
• 1:54:28
  Speaker 12: how good this team is now. That being said, Tonight
• 1:54:32
  Speaker 12: is a Wake Forest game, right, at Wake Forest. Let's
• 1:54:35
  Speaker 12: not sleep on Wake Forest. I'm begging.
• 1:54:38
  Speaker 2: No, they're tough. Their quarterback is good. They got the
• 1:54:40
  Speaker 2: kid who played at North Carolina last year. I saw
• 1:54:42
  Speaker 2: them play last week, and they can score points. He's
• 1:54:44
  Speaker 2: pretty good. But in all seriousness, it should not be
• 1:54:47
  Speaker 2: a close game.
• 1:54:49
  Speaker 12: It shouldn't be because we're the most talented team, I think,
• 1:54:51
  Speaker 12: one of them in the country. I mean, no one
• 1:54:52
  Speaker 12: impressed me. Ohio State certainly.
• 1:54:54
  Speaker 2: Texas looks pretty good. Come on, Arch Manning, Texas. They
• 1:54:57
  Speaker 2: look pretty good.
• 1:54:58
  Speaker 12: They look good. It was pretty good.
• 1:55:00
  Speaker 14: Yeah.
• 1:55:00
  Speaker 12: We went to Florida with Ohio State last year in
• 1:55:02
  Speaker 12: the college football playoffs.
• 1:55:03
  Speaker 13: I remember.
• 1:55:03
  Speaker 2: I remember.
• 1:55:04
  Speaker 12: So I just think if we just keep doing what
• 1:55:06
  Speaker 12: we're doing. But, you know, a few years back, now
• 1:55:07
  Speaker 12: this is a completely different team. We were undefeated 5-0,
• 1:55:11
  Speaker 12: and then we ran to Georgia Tech, which was not
• 1:55:13
  Speaker 12: even a ranked team, and we lost. I remember. That's
• 1:55:15
  Speaker 12: because we were looking.
• 1:55:16
  Speaker 13: Ahead.
• 1:55:17
  Speaker 12: In sports, you always have to be cognizant of not
• 1:55:19
  Speaker 12: looking ahead. I just pray to God we unite. Don't
• 1:55:22
  Speaker 12: come in there thinking about the Clemson game in two
• 1:55:24
  Speaker 12: weeks or games after that.
• 1:55:26
  Speaker 2: Clemson stinks. They do stink. They're still playing in Death Valley.
• 1:55:31
  Speaker 2: I know, but what happened? This guy, Debo Sweeney, You
• 1:55:33
  Speaker 2: had Trevor Lawrence. They were playing for championships every year.
• 1:55:36
  Speaker 2: They're not even competitive anymore.
• 1:55:38
  Speaker 12: You know, sometimes you just run out of steam, Sid.
• 1:55:40
  Speaker 12: I think sometimes you just run out of steam. First
• 1:55:41
  Speaker 12: of all, he resisted the transfer portal situation, which I
• 1:55:44
  Speaker 12: can't stand personally. I mean, it's like there's that quarterback
• 1:55:47
  Speaker 12: for Texas Tech, Castellanos. That's his fourth college football team
• 1:55:50
  Speaker 12: in three years.
• 1:55:51
  Speaker 2: I know.
• 1:55:51
  Speaker 12: It's crazy.
• 1:55:53
  Speaker 2: Well, you know what's funny about that? My friend Randy Levine,
• 1:55:56
  Speaker 2: who's the president of the New York Yankees, he was
• 1:55:59
  Speaker 2: put on this job by President Trump. Funny you mention that.
• 1:56:02
  Speaker 2: True story. So Randy, along with some other guys, had
• 1:56:05
  Speaker 2: this big conference at the White House, and Rubio was there,
• 1:56:08
  Speaker 2: and Mike Johnson, and Urban Meyer, Tiger Woods, Nick Saban.
• 1:56:12
  Speaker 2: So Randy has a bill that is about to be
• 1:56:16
  Speaker 2: voted on next week. This week, they won the House
• 1:56:19
  Speaker 2: vote to actually push the bill forward and stop all
• 1:56:22
  Speaker 2: this nonsense like you're talking about in college football, four
• 1:56:26
  Speaker 2: teams in four years. So one of the things I
• 1:56:28
  Speaker 2: mentioned to President Trump, Joseph, in the Oval Office yesterday was,
• 1:56:32
  Speaker 2: how about Randy Levine and college sports? And he said...
• 1:56:36
  Speaker 2: We're getting it done, Sid, right? We're getting it done.
• 1:56:38
  Speaker 2: It's great. It's great.
• 1:56:39
  Speaker 12: We need to get it done. Because when guys are
• 1:56:41
  Speaker 12: leaving the NFL to go play college football to make
• 1:56:44
  Speaker 12: more money, you know the world is completely.
• 1:56:46
  Speaker 2: But how great is it that President Trump actually cares
• 1:56:49
  Speaker 2: about it and knows about it? Yep.
• 1:56:51
  Speaker 12: No, it's great. It's great. And hopefully Randy is, you know,
• 1:56:54
  Speaker 12: I know you're friends with Randy Levine. Hopefully he'll use
• 1:56:58
  Speaker 12: his large brain and his might to get this done
• 1:57:00
  Speaker 12: because we need to get this fixed. This is crazy.
• 1:57:03
  Speaker 12: I'm sorry.
• 1:57:04
  Speaker 2: It's nuts.
• 1:57:04
  Speaker 12: I'm sorry.
• 1:57:05
  Speaker 2: I'm glad that Lane Kippen decided not to use it.
• 1:57:07
  Speaker 2: He's still killing teams. I know.
• 1:57:09
  Speaker 12: Nuts.
• 1:57:11
  Speaker 2: Oh, I can't.
• 1:57:12
  Speaker 12: They're playing tomorrow night against Ole Miss, by the way. LSU, right?
• 1:57:15
  Speaker 12: His old team that he abandoned after he said he
• 1:57:17
  Speaker 12: wasn't going to abandon them. He left them in the
• 1:57:18
  Speaker 12: college football playoffs as dogs.
• 1:57:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I know.
• 1:57:21
  Speaker 12: So I hope to God Ole Miss just annihilates LSU.
• 1:57:23
  Speaker 2: They got a good quarterback, Ole Miss. Trinidad Chambliss.
• 1:57:26
  Speaker 12: I like that kid. He's 45 years old.
• 1:57:27
  Speaker 2: I know. That's a great way to end this. Joseph Takapina,
• 1:57:32
  Speaker 2: as always. Excellent, excellent job. I love you. Really great work, everybody.
• 1:57:36
  Speaker 2: Thank you so much.
• 1:57:37
  Speaker 12: Bye.
• 1:57:39
  Speaker 2: Joe Takapina right there, the amazing defense attorney. We've been friends,
• 1:57:43
  Speaker 2: me and this kid, for 48 years. We'll take a
• 1:57:46
  Speaker 2: break on this Disco Friday, come back and talk to the,
• 1:57:49
  Speaker 2: one of the smartest, classiest ladies in the history of
• 1:57:52
  Speaker 2: politics and television, my Friday friend, KT McFarlane. She's coming
• 1:57:57
  Speaker 2: up next.
• 1:57:58
  Speaker 1: Sid and Friends in the Morning on the Red Apple
• 1:58:02
  Speaker 1: Podcast Network.
• 1:58:04
  Speaker 2: Donna Summer on this Disco Friday. My, girl chat is
• 1:58:09
  Speaker 2: all fired up this morning. There's one guy in there.
• 1:58:12
  Speaker 2: He was on the show a couple days ago, the
• 1:58:13
  Speaker 2: ambassador of the anti-Semitism envoy, Rabbi Yehuda Kaplum, but otherwise
• 1:58:18
  Speaker 2: it's Siggy Flickr, Laura Loomer, Stella Escobedo. They're all fired up. J.D.
• 1:58:23
  Speaker 2: Vance is having a big Shabbat dinner in D.C. tonight.
• 1:58:28
  Speaker 2: And I guess he didn't invite enough powerful Jews for
• 1:58:31
  Speaker 2: their liking. I don't even know who's coming, who's not.
• 1:58:33
  Speaker 2: I know my first cousin, Norm Coleman, is coming. And
• 1:58:36
  Speaker 2: to be honest, I would probably pay more attention if
• 1:58:42
  Speaker 2: I wasn't invited myself to J.D. 's office yesterday. So
• 1:58:45
  Speaker 2: I'm being honest, okay? I don't care as much. Now,
• 1:58:49
  Speaker 2: if I was not in J.D. 's office yesterday and
• 1:58:51
  Speaker 2: I wasn't invited tonight, I may be pissed off. If
• 1:58:54
  Speaker 2: you know me, I probably would be. I'm being honest here.
• 1:58:57
  Speaker 2: But I was in J.D. 's office, and there'll be
• 1:59:00
  Speaker 2: more of these Shabbat dinners. It's not going to be
• 1:59:02
  Speaker 2: just one. So a lot of these people that you
• 1:59:05
  Speaker 2: want invited will be invited somewhere down the road. I'm
• 1:59:09
  Speaker 2: not defending. There's nothing to defend here, okay? He's having
• 1:59:12
  Speaker 2: a Shabbat dinner, and he invited some people, and not
• 1:59:15
  Speaker 2: everybody's coming, and we'll see what happens, okay? But, you know, again,
• 1:59:20
  Speaker 2: just for the sake of repetition, having a relationship, a
• 1:59:26
  Speaker 2: trusting relationship, with the vice president of the United States,
• 1:59:30
  Speaker 2: and a guy that in all likelihood will be our nominee,
• 1:59:32
  Speaker 2: if I hear Marco Rubio, it's all I hear, Marco. Again,
• 1:59:36
  Speaker 2: I love Marco. I'm friends with Marco. You people aren't friends.
• 1:59:39
  Speaker 2: I'm his friend. 16 years. Help him win that first
• 1:59:42
  Speaker 2: state senate race in 2010. He texted me three days ago, right, Justin?
• 1:59:47
  Speaker 2: Marco Rubio, three days ago.
• 1:59:48
  Speaker 18: Without a doubt.
• 1:59:48
  Speaker 2: Tell me about Marco Rubio. In the New York Post
• 1:59:51
  Speaker 2: last night, even after meeting with J.D., I said, Marco's
• 1:59:54
  Speaker 2: still my guy. But he's not running yet. And if
• 1:59:57
  Speaker 2: he doesn't run, Ted Cruz is not beating J.D. Vance. Sorry.
• 2:00:03
  Speaker 2: So I'm not going to blow up this potential relationship
• 2:00:08
  Speaker 2: for the guy that's second to Trump and may very
• 2:00:11
  Speaker 2: well be the next president because I got to show
• 2:00:16
  Speaker 2: him that I got a big Jewish peepee. I'm not
• 2:00:18
  Speaker 2: doing it. It's stupid. It's stupid. So I thought our
• 2:00:21
  Speaker 2: meeting was great yesterday. We didn't discuss all the things
• 2:00:24
  Speaker 2: you wanted me to. I didn't push him up against
• 2:00:26
  Speaker 2: the wall and hold his neck and yell, why won't
• 2:00:28
  Speaker 2: you dis about Tucker? Why won't you get rid of Tucker?
• 2:00:32
  Speaker 2: He knows how I feel about Tucker. He knows how
• 2:00:34
  Speaker 2: a lot of you feel about Tucker. He knows. We'll
• 2:00:37
  Speaker 2: get there. Take it easy. You know, part of the
• 2:00:43
  Speaker 2: reason why President Trump is so good is when he
• 2:00:46
  Speaker 2: talks to people. You want him to kill them all, right?
• 2:00:49
  Speaker 2: And he doesn't. And then the left goes nuts. He's
• 2:00:51
  Speaker 2: buddies with Putin. No, he's not, you dumb bastards. He's
• 2:00:55
  Speaker 2: not buddies with him. But what are you going to
• 2:00:57
  Speaker 2: get from the guy if you just walk in with
• 2:00:59
  Speaker 2: guns blazing? Nothing. Same thing with North Korea, China. Xi's
• 2:01:04
  Speaker 2: coming next week. Trump is going to be nice, hey, Chad.
• 2:01:07
  Speaker 2: Trump is going to be nice. Because that's how you
• 2:01:10
  Speaker 2: do business. That's how you... earn respect, and then you
• 2:01:15
  Speaker 2: can do whatever you want at that point. And that's
• 2:01:18
  Speaker 2: what yesterday was about. I know that KT McFarland, who's
• 2:01:21
  Speaker 2: worked for four presidents, sat at that table with Trump
• 2:01:25
  Speaker 2: and three others, Ronald Reagan. I know you agree with
• 2:01:28
  Speaker 2: what I'm saying, right, KT? Is he there?
• 2:01:34
  Speaker 19: The people who criticize President Trump in the first term, oh,
• 2:01:38
  Speaker 19: he was Putin's puppet. He won't call out President Putin.
• 2:01:41
  Speaker 19: Isn't that terrible? Donald Trump was looking way down the road,
• 2:01:44
  Speaker 19: knowing that if he needed to negotiate, he needed to
• 2:01:47
  Speaker 19: have a good relationship with Putin. At the same time,
• 2:01:50
  Speaker 19: he was tougher on Putin and more pro-Ukraine than the
• 2:01:54
  Speaker 19: previous president. I mean, he gave Ukraine lethal weapons. Obama
• 2:01:59
  Speaker 19: didn't do that. So I think President Trump is he's
• 2:02:03
  Speaker 19: smart enough to know that you can let off steam
• 2:02:05
  Speaker 19: and you can scream at everybody, but it gets you
• 2:02:07
  Speaker 19: no place.
• 2:02:08
  Speaker 2: That's right. So that's why we decided yesterday, the vice
• 2:02:11
  Speaker 2: president and I, to just stay, hang out for, you know,
• 2:02:15
  Speaker 2: it was 20 minutes and we talked about a lot
• 2:02:17
  Speaker 2: of things. There was some substantial stuff in there, which
• 2:02:19
  Speaker 2: I'm not going to get into. Because that'll be between us.
• 2:02:22
  Speaker 19: It's confidential.
• 2:02:24
  Speaker 2: I'm not going to just go in there and start.
• 2:02:26
  Speaker 2: First of all, who the hell am I? He's the
• 2:02:27
  Speaker 2: Vice President of the United States. I'm a radio guy.
• 2:02:30
  Speaker 2: I'm going to start yelling at the guy. So there
• 2:02:32
  Speaker 2: are people that are upset with me this morning. But
• 2:02:34
  Speaker 2: he didn't take it easy. Calm down. He's willing to talk.
• 2:02:39
  Speaker 2: He does not hate Israel. I'll tell you that right now.
• 2:02:42
  Speaker 2: He doesn't. OK, but he does hang out with people
• 2:02:45
  Speaker 2: that do. And that is a major, major problem. And
• 2:02:48
  Speaker 2: I'm going to try to find a way to stop that.
• 2:02:51
  Speaker 2: But that doesn't happen in 20 minutes. Does that make sense?
• 2:02:55
  Speaker 19: Correct. It's an overall relationship. And what you've done, and
• 2:02:58
  Speaker 19: I think what's extraordinary is the vice president reached out
• 2:03:01
  Speaker 19: to you. Not the other way around. It's usually the
• 2:03:04
  Speaker 19: other way around, that every journalist wants to get in
• 2:03:06
  Speaker 19: and have a meeting. By the way, you almost never
• 2:03:10
  Speaker 19: have these kinds of meetings. So you were in the
• 2:03:13
  Speaker 19: vice president's office in the West Wing. Is that correct?
• 2:03:17
  Speaker 2: Right there. And then what was great about it was,
• 2:03:20
  Speaker 2: you know the building better than anybody. As I finished
• 2:03:23
  Speaker 2: the meeting with Vance in the West Wing, right there
• 2:03:25
  Speaker 2: in his beautiful office, Margo Martin walks in. Grabs me
• 2:03:29
  Speaker 2: and my wife, Danielle, and says, the president is ready
• 2:03:31
  Speaker 2: for you. Because, you know, the Oval Office is right outside. J.D.
• 2:03:35
  Speaker 2: 's office, nice lobby, Oval Office. So I hit both.
• 2:03:39
  Speaker 2: There's a beautiful picture of me and the president in
• 2:03:41
  Speaker 2: the Oval Office on my social media this morning. So, yes,
• 2:03:45
  Speaker 2: I was in J.D. 's office in the West Wing
• 2:03:47
  Speaker 2: in the White House.
• 2:03:49
  Speaker 19: Now, the way out of the White House, most people
• 2:03:52
  Speaker 19: think it's this huge place. It's not. Offices are very small.
• 2:03:58
  Speaker 19: Where you were in the vice president's office, immediately to
• 2:04:00
  Speaker 19: the right is the national security advisor's office. That was
• 2:04:04
  Speaker 19: my office.
• 2:04:04
  Speaker 2: That's right.
• 2:04:05
  Speaker 19: Immediately to the left of the vice president's office is
• 2:04:08
  Speaker 19: the chief of staff's office. And then you turn the
• 2:04:11
  Speaker 19: corner and then there's the president's office at the Oval Office.
• 2:04:15
  Speaker 19: This is all like 20, 30 steps away. None of
• 2:04:18
  Speaker 19: this is some big office building. And people who are
• 2:04:22
  Speaker 19: in the way, everybody knows who's in the West Wing.
• 2:04:24
  Speaker 19: I mean. If you were in the vice president's office,
• 2:04:27
  Speaker 19: everybody on that floor, including the president himself, would have
• 2:04:30
  Speaker 19: been told that you were there. That's why the president said, oh,
• 2:04:33
  Speaker 19: you know, bring him in.
• 2:04:34
  Speaker 2: No, in fact, when I was there, because you mentioned
• 2:04:37
  Speaker 2: these other offices, the short time I was waiting for
• 2:04:39
  Speaker 2: the president with my wife, Danielle, Mark Wayne Mullen was
• 2:04:42
  Speaker 2: walking through. We had a great conversation. Jay Clayton, who
• 2:04:46
  Speaker 2: replaced Tulsi Gabbard, he comes through. We had a great conversation.
• 2:04:50
  Speaker 2: So you know this. Again, you sit on that floor
• 2:04:53
  Speaker 2: anywhere between the VP's office and the Oval Office, you're
• 2:04:57
  Speaker 2: going to see a whole bunch of big-time administration people
• 2:05:01
  Speaker 2: every day just kind of walking through having meetings all
• 2:05:03
  Speaker 2: day long.
• 2:05:05
  Speaker 19: And it's a very important way to be seen and
• 2:05:08
  Speaker 19: to see those people. And I think what you did
• 2:05:10
  Speaker 19: with the vice president was absolutely the right thing to do.
• 2:05:13
  Speaker 19: You have now established a relationship with him. He can
• 2:05:16
  Speaker 19: come to you and ask your advice. You go to
• 2:05:19
  Speaker 19: him if something's on your mind. You will now have
• 2:05:21
  Speaker 19: a sustained and enduring relationship with, you know, right now,
• 2:05:25
  Speaker 19: the vice president of the United States and who knows
• 2:05:27
  Speaker 19: where it goes when it goes forward. But it's important
• 2:05:30
  Speaker 19: for him to hear from you as not, you know,
• 2:05:33
  Speaker 19: a crazy jump up and down guy. Sometimes you're a
• 2:05:36
  Speaker 19: little crazy, jump up and down on these important issues
• 2:05:39
  Speaker 19: because you're very well informed and you represent a constituency
• 2:05:43
  Speaker 19: that the vice president and the president and the secretary
• 2:05:46
  Speaker 19: of state all really care about.
• 2:05:48
  Speaker 2: You can throw in the Prime Minister of Israel, too,
• 2:05:50
  Speaker 2: while you're at it. He's coming. He's coming. He's coming Thursday.
• 2:05:54
  Speaker 2: And my plan is to go with Bibi to the
• 2:05:56
  Speaker 2: United Nations. I think you saw the video he sent
• 2:05:59
  Speaker 2: me this week congratulating me like Trump did on the
• 2:06:01
  Speaker 2: Hall of Fame. It was beautiful. But, you know, he's
• 2:06:04
  Speaker 2: coming here with all this nonsense. You know, the mayor,
• 2:06:07
  Speaker 2: that creep. He now says, well, I'm not going to
• 2:06:10
  Speaker 2: go to any protests next week. You know what he did, Katie?
• 2:06:13
  Speaker 2: He started the fire. And then he ran away from
• 2:06:15
  Speaker 2: the fire. But guess what? The fire is still burning,
• 2:06:18
  Speaker 2: you moron. So the fact that he's not going to
• 2:06:20
  Speaker 2: any protests, that's a bit late because he started the
• 2:06:23
  Speaker 2: fire already. Poor Bibi. You know, Bibi's going to have
• 2:06:26
  Speaker 2: to come and go the same day because there's going
• 2:06:28
  Speaker 2: to be one huge protest from Brian Park right to
• 2:06:31
  Speaker 2: the U.N. That's going to be a big, big problem.
• 2:06:34
  Speaker 2: The next day happens to be Sukkot anyway. a very
• 2:06:37
  Speaker 2: important Jewish holiday, right at the Yom Kippur. But I'm
• 2:06:39
  Speaker 2: telling you, Bibi is going to come in that day
• 2:06:42
  Speaker 2: and go home that night because the city, because of Mamdani,
• 2:06:46
  Speaker 2: no matter how many briefings he has with Jessica Tisch,
• 2:06:48
  Speaker 2: just isn't safe.
• 2:06:50
  Speaker 19: It isn't safe. I completely agree. And I think first
• 2:06:55
  Speaker 19: of all, Bibi, good on you for coming because the
• 2:06:59
  Speaker 19: United Nations doesn't like Bibi. They're all pro-Palestinian. A lot
• 2:07:03
  Speaker 19: of them are pro-Hamas. But it's good for him to go.
• 2:07:07
  Speaker 19: It's good for him to be seen. It's good for
• 2:07:08
  Speaker 19: him to make his case. And I think that this U.N.
• 2:07:11
  Speaker 19: meeting next week that meets several meetings that the president's
• 2:07:13
  Speaker 19: going to have with Xi Jinping, hopefully with Bibi, or
• 2:07:18
  Speaker 19: at least their senior officials will meet with each other
• 2:07:22
  Speaker 19: with the Gulf Arabs that President Trump has announced he's
• 2:07:25
  Speaker 19: meeting with. I think these are all really, and then potentially, Zelensky,
• 2:07:29
  Speaker 19: I think a lot of diplomacy is going to be
• 2:07:31
  Speaker 19: done in the hallways of the United Nations in the
• 2:07:34
  Speaker 19: next week. There are a lot of things coming to
• 2:07:36
  Speaker 19: a head.
• 2:07:36
  Speaker 2: I know, but I work on 49th and 3rd. The
• 2:07:39
  Speaker 2: traffic here is terrible.
• 2:07:40
  Speaker 19: Well, there are your sneakers.
• 2:07:43
  Speaker 2: I know, I'm going to have to. You know, it's funny. Sometimes, annually,
• 2:07:48
  Speaker 2: you'll see the president and his cavalcade there. They will
• 2:07:53
  Speaker 2: drive down the block right by the windows where I
• 2:07:55
  Speaker 2: sit here. Right on, literally right on third Avenue. You'll
• 2:07:58
  Speaker 2: see the whole crew, the president. And a couple of
• 2:08:02
  Speaker 2: years ago, Joe Biden, that moron drove by, he had
• 2:08:04
  Speaker 2: his window down. He thought he was sightseeing. Yeah. No idea. Um,
• 2:08:08
  Speaker 2: so you're right. It's going to be a huge week
• 2:08:10
  Speaker 2: next week. Now you heard Joseph Takapina, what he had
• 2:08:12
  Speaker 2: to say about the Iran conflict. And, um, He is
• 2:08:16
  Speaker 2: an Army Ranger. He does have relationships with all these
• 2:08:19
  Speaker 2: generals that would just let go. They said they left,
• 2:08:22
  Speaker 2: but Pete Hex, I thought you didn't want them. What
• 2:08:24
  Speaker 2: are your thoughts on what Takapina had to say about
• 2:08:26
  Speaker 2: the conflict?
• 2:08:27
  Speaker 19: Well, I thought what Joe said was very wise in
• 2:08:30
  Speaker 19: a lot of ways. President Trump's got a real decision.
• 2:08:34
  Speaker 19: And when Joe said, I wish the president would come
• 2:08:37
  Speaker 19: and tell us what the plan is, to me that's
• 2:08:40
  Speaker 19: the single most important thing the president needs to do
• 2:08:42
  Speaker 19: in the coming days and weeks ahead. be square with
• 2:08:46
  Speaker 19: the American people. Look, we went in to get rid
• 2:08:48
  Speaker 19: of the nukes. If Iran had stopped and they're fine,
• 2:08:52
  Speaker 19: we would have been done. But they didn't. They closed
• 2:08:54
  Speaker 19: the strait. So we had the blockade in place. The
• 2:08:57
  Speaker 19: armada was there. We did the blockade. This is not
• 2:09:00
  Speaker 19: the war we wanted to fight. This is a different war.
• 2:09:04
  Speaker 19: But we're going to win this one, too. And the
• 2:09:06
  Speaker 19: example I always give is that there are two ways
• 2:09:08
  Speaker 19: to kill a snake, right? One way is you try
• 2:09:10
  Speaker 19: to chop his head off and But that's tricky. You know,
• 2:09:13
  Speaker 19: you might miss. He might strike you first. Things could
• 2:09:16
  Speaker 19: go wrong. He could slither away. The other way is
• 2:09:19
  Speaker 19: to starve a snake, get him in the cage and
• 2:09:22
  Speaker 19: just starve him. It takes longer. Not as exciting. But
• 2:09:25
  Speaker 19: either way, the snake is dead. And so I think
• 2:09:28
  Speaker 19: what President Trump needs to do is explain to the
• 2:09:30
  Speaker 19: American people, here's my plan going forward. I'm going to
• 2:09:33
  Speaker 19: starve the snake. Eventually, the snake will give up. And
• 2:09:36
  Speaker 19: if the snake doesn't, the snake doesn't die. The snake
• 2:09:39
  Speaker 19: will be so dead. just so weakened that he can't
• 2:09:42
  Speaker 19: be a threat again, won't be a threat in the region,
• 2:09:45
  Speaker 19: won't be a threat to the United States. It's just
• 2:09:47
  Speaker 19: not a satisfying end. But the war will end, maybe
• 2:09:51
  Speaker 19: not with a big peace agreement, but the war will
• 2:09:53
  Speaker 19: end because Iran will be so neutered, so subjected to
• 2:09:58
  Speaker 19: poverty for the next generation that they won't be incapable
• 2:10:02
  Speaker 19: of launching a military threat in the region or to
• 2:10:05
  Speaker 19: the United States or to the world economy.
• 2:10:07
  Speaker 2: Great job. The whole snake thing was terrific. I loved it.
• 2:10:09
  Speaker 2: That was really great. On the way out, KT, I
• 2:10:12
  Speaker 2: had Tom Emmer in studio earlier, the majority whip. He's
• 2:10:15
  Speaker 2: a great guy out of Minnesota, you know. And, you know,
• 2:10:18
  Speaker 2: I was in Dallas last week and I watched the
• 2:10:20
  Speaker 2: president's speech and I saw a whole bunch of Congress
• 2:10:23
  Speaker 2: folks and senators from across the nation, our folks, of course, Republicans. And,
• 2:10:27
  Speaker 2: you know, people are telling me almost every day we're
• 2:10:29
  Speaker 2: going to lose. I don't know. You know, maybe I'm.
• 2:10:32
  Speaker 2: I'm too I'm bought in. I love Trump and I
• 2:10:34
  Speaker 2: just don't want to see it. I just don't know
• 2:10:36
  Speaker 2: if that's the case. I feel like these races, some
• 2:10:39
  Speaker 2: of these races are ultimately winnable. Maybe Michelle Tafoya in
• 2:10:42
  Speaker 2: Minnesota grab at least one of these races out of
• 2:10:45
  Speaker 2: Long Island with the Petri and Janine.
• 2:10:48
  Speaker 19: I don't know.
• 2:10:49
  Speaker 2: I don't I'm not convinced that we're dead in the water.
• 2:10:53
  Speaker 2: Like people are telling me, said you're losing the house.
• 2:10:55
  Speaker 2: I'm not convinced. Are you?
• 2:10:58
  Speaker 19: You know, after the 2016 election, I stopped believing in
• 2:11:01
  Speaker 19: anybody's polls because, you know, President Trump was going to lose.
• 2:11:05
  Speaker 12: He was going to lose.
• 2:11:06
  Speaker 19: There was not a single chance he was going to
• 2:11:08
  Speaker 19: win in 2016.
• 2:11:08
  Speaker 2: He was down 11 points to Hillary that week. 11.
• 2:11:12
  Speaker 20: Oh, man.
• 2:11:13
  Speaker 19: She had already planned the victory parade and the fireworks
• 2:11:16
  Speaker 19: on the Hudson River.
• 2:11:17
  Speaker 2: And yet she had the Jacob Javits Center. I'll never
• 2:11:19
  Speaker 2: forget it. The Jacob Javits Center. She never showed up.
• 2:11:23
  Speaker 12: Never showed up.
• 2:11:24
  Speaker 19: And so I'm not believing the polls. But if the
• 2:11:27
  Speaker 19: president can explain to the American people, hey, stick with
• 2:11:30
  Speaker 19: me a little longer. I need your support a little
• 2:11:33
  Speaker 19: longer for the Middle East stuff. And then point out, look,
• 2:11:37
  Speaker 19: you let those Democrats come back in. Guess what? The
• 2:11:39
  Speaker 19: border reopens. You have all those problems in the cities.
• 2:11:43
  Speaker 19: You bring back the corruption, the fraud and the corruption.
• 2:11:46
  Speaker 19: Look at look at what Minnesota has done with stealing
• 2:11:49
  Speaker 19: our money. taking it out of the hands of people
• 2:11:52
  Speaker 19: who need it and putting it into the hands of
• 2:11:54
  Speaker 19: Somali people. you know, cheaters and then say, and look,
• 2:11:58
  Speaker 19: do you really want to go back to the high
• 2:12:00
  Speaker 19: drug prices? Do you really want to go back to
• 2:12:02
  Speaker 19: what it was like? Because of the Democrats come in,
• 2:12:05
  Speaker 19: they will go take a, such a left turn that
• 2:12:09
  Speaker 19: Joe Biden will even.
• 2:12:10
  Speaker 20: Look like a moderate.
• 2:12:11
  Speaker 19: They will go so far left. And that's what, you
• 2:12:14
  Speaker 19: may not like everything Trump has done, but if you
• 2:12:17
  Speaker 19: want to go so far left and pay a lot
• 2:12:19
  Speaker 19: of money for your drugs, have the border reopened, have
• 2:12:23
  Speaker 19: the cities unsafe again, Great. Go for those guys. But
• 2:12:27
  Speaker 19: you may never get it back if you do.
• 2:12:29
  Speaker 2: You're 100% right. And this morning's a little scary because
• 2:12:32
  Speaker 2: I've got Fox News on in the background. And as
• 2:12:35
  Speaker 2: of this morning, El Sayed, who's one of those very
• 2:12:38
  Speaker 2: scary people, I know he's distanced himself from Hasan Piker.
• 2:12:41
  Speaker 2: I'm not going to give him credit for that because
• 2:12:43
  Speaker 2: Piker is just the lowest of the low, just the
• 2:12:46
  Speaker 2: absolute worst. But as of this morning... He's got a
• 2:12:50
  Speaker 2: three-point lead on Mike Rogers. I don't love Mike Rogers.
• 2:12:53
  Speaker 2: I'm being honest, KT. But at least he's Republican. At
• 2:12:56
  Speaker 2: least he shares my ideologies and values. And if he
• 2:13:00
  Speaker 2: loses to El Sayed, that's going to be a very
• 2:13:02
  Speaker 2: depressing day. Very depressing.
• 2:13:05
  Speaker 19: I completely agree. I'm not believing the polls. But on
• 2:13:09
  Speaker 19: the other hand, you know, I think you've got to
• 2:13:10
  Speaker 19: make the point, as Ronald Reagan always said, you know,
• 2:13:12
  Speaker 19: you don't have to agree with me 100% of the time.
• 2:13:15
  Speaker 19: If you agree with me 80% of the time, that's
• 2:13:17
  Speaker 19: a win. You're my best friend. And I think that's
• 2:13:20
  Speaker 19: what the attitude we should have. We're not asking you
• 2:13:22
  Speaker 19: to marry any of these people who are candidates. But
• 2:13:25
  Speaker 19: if they agree with you 80% of the time on
• 2:13:28
  Speaker 19: the policies, that's the person you should support. And not
• 2:13:31
  Speaker 19: just with your mouth, but with your feet. Get out
• 2:13:33
  Speaker 19: and vote for them.
• 2:13:34
  Speaker 2: That's the big one right there. Get out and vote.
• 2:13:36
  Speaker 2: KT is always an amazing job. We love having you
• 2:13:39
  Speaker 2: every Friday. You're terrific. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
• 2:13:41
  Speaker 19: Thank you.
• 2:13:42
  Speaker 2: God bless you. KT McFarlane right there on Sid and
• 2:13:44
  Speaker 2: Friends in the Morning. So lucky to have her each
• 2:13:47
  Speaker 2: and every Friday. We're not done yet. Joe Lisi's going
• 2:13:49
  Speaker 2: to stop by. Go for the two.com. He does a
• 2:13:52
  Speaker 2: TV football show with Tommy Bowden. We'll talk some college football.
• 2:13:56
  Speaker 2: And we'll wrap it up with a big NFL weekend
• 2:13:57
  Speaker 2: ahead for the Jets and Giants, too. All that's still
• 2:14:00
  Speaker 2: to come. 40 minutes. Brian Kilmeade comes your way.
• 2:14:04
  Speaker 1: Sid and Friends in the Morning on the Red Apple
• 2:14:07
  Speaker 1: Podcast Network.
• 2:14:09
  Speaker 2: Well, there's Johnson's stomp on this Disco Friday. Been fun.
• 2:14:13
  Speaker 2: The music's been fun. And, of course, Justin is a
• 2:14:16
  Speaker 2: tremendous dancer. He's hot.
• 2:14:19
  Speaker 18: I like shaking my ass.
• 2:14:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, shaking his ass. Yeah, baby.
• 2:14:23
  Speaker 11: J.D.
• 2:14:24
  Speaker 2: Vance will be speaking in Iowa today. I think the
• 2:14:26
  Speaker 2: president will still be in D.C. I'm not sure. I've
• 2:14:28
  Speaker 2: got to check that. A lot going on, Justin.
• 2:14:31
  Speaker 18: Yeah, why don't you stop on back by? Just give
• 2:14:33
  Speaker 18: him a knock and see if he's around.
• 2:14:34
  Speaker 2: I may. I'm being serious here. Well, I can't because
• 2:14:37
  Speaker 2: I'll probably be with Bebe next Thursday, but I'm considering...
• 2:14:41
  Speaker 2: I've got Caroline Schenkel's event coming up. I've got a
• 2:14:43
  Speaker 2: big event also with Bruce Blakeman.
• 2:14:46
  Speaker 12: Uh-huh.
• 2:14:48
  Speaker 2: But I'm considering crashing the Xi dinner at the White House.
• 2:14:51
  Speaker 18: The Xi dinner at the White House?
• 2:14:53
  Speaker 2: President Xi from China, yeah.
• 2:14:54
  Speaker 18: Oh, I thought there was like some female dinner going on.
• 2:14:58
  Speaker 2: A big dinner. I think it's next week. Yeah, okay.
• 2:15:02
  Speaker 18: That'll be fun. You should get acquainted with Xi as well.
• 2:15:05
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I can't speak Chinese, bro. No, you can't.
• 2:15:10
  Speaker 18: But you can bring Gordon Chang. He could be your translator.
• 2:15:12
  Speaker 2: No, it's not a terrible idea.
• 2:15:13
  Speaker 11: Right?
• 2:15:13
  Speaker 2: It's not bad. Will you text him?
• 2:15:15
  Speaker 18: Yeah, I'll see if he wants to tag along. Lydia
• 2:15:18
  Speaker 18: will have to come.
• 2:15:18
  Speaker 2: Lydia's even better. I know his wife. She's even better.
• 2:15:20
  Speaker 18: She's his handler. Gordon Chang doesn't get anywhere without Lydia.
• 2:15:24
  Speaker 2: No, no, no. No.
• 2:15:26
  Speaker 18: Just like you don't get anywhere without Danielle.
• 2:15:28
  Speaker 2: 100%. You are 1,000% right. Right.
• 2:15:31
  Speaker 18: You know, you would have done much worse than been
• 2:15:33
  Speaker 18: running around unchecked all around the White House yesterday if
• 2:15:36
  Speaker 18: she wasn't there.
• 2:15:37
  Speaker 2: I'd be dead. Yeah. But she was a little unnerved
• 2:15:43
  Speaker 2: when the Secret Service guy said, where is he going?
• 2:15:47
  Speaker 18: I'm surprised they didn't yank you by your collar.
• 2:15:49
  Speaker 2: They said nothing. All right. I walk around that joint
• 2:15:53
  Speaker 2: like I own the place. Come on.
• 2:15:54
  Speaker 18: I said, isn't that that guy from the State of
• 2:15:56
  Speaker 18: the Union?
• 2:15:56
  Speaker 2: He looks familiar. We kicked his ass out of there.
• 2:15:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 2:15:59
  Speaker 18: Didn't we just drag that guy out of here?
• 2:16:01
  Speaker 2: Those were Democrats. Right.
• 2:16:02
  Speaker 18: Those were the Democrats.
• 2:16:05
  Speaker 2: Those were the Democrats. They were the bad guys.
• 2:16:07
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 2:16:07
  Speaker 2: Right. Yeah. That was still one of my finest moments,
• 2:16:11
  Speaker 2: I have to say.
• 2:16:11
  Speaker 18: I would say so.
• 2:16:12
  Speaker 2: And hearing Greg Kelly talking about it again this week.
• 2:16:14
  Speaker 2: Thank you, Greg. Greg was great a couple days ago. Yeah,
• 2:16:16
  Speaker 2: he couldn't get enough of that. He was great. Says who?
• 2:16:19
  Speaker 10: Right.
• 2:16:20
  Speaker 2: Even when I listen now, I laugh. I can't help it.
• 2:16:22
  Speaker 2: I don't know what I was thinking.
• 2:16:23
  Speaker 18: It's one of the best clubs ever made.
• 2:16:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Dershowitz loves that, too, says who. All right. And
• 2:16:28
  Speaker 2: Michael Cohen said it first years ago. You know that.
• 2:16:30
  Speaker 2: But for some reason, mine seemed to resonate here in
• 2:16:34
  Speaker 2: New York. Yeah. Well, we'll take a break when we
• 2:16:36
  Speaker 2: get back. It is a big college football weekend, like
• 2:16:39
  Speaker 2: Justin's been talking about all morning long. The Miami Hurricanes
• 2:16:42
  Speaker 2: back on the field tonight and all the big powerhouses
• 2:16:45
  Speaker 2: back on the field tomorrow before the Jets. They'll play
• 2:16:49
  Speaker 2: Sunday at home against the Packers and the Giants at
• 2:16:52
  Speaker 2: the Rams Monday night. We'll talk to our good buddy
• 2:16:55
  Speaker 2: back again for a second time from GoForTheTwo.com and his
• 2:16:59
  Speaker 2: TV show with Tommy Bowden, Joe Lisi, Big College Football Weekend.
• 2:17:03
  Speaker 2: He's coming up next on the Disco Friday edition of
• 2:17:07
  Speaker 2: Sid and Friends in the morning.
• 2:17:10
  Speaker 7: Sid and Friends.
• 2:17:12
  Speaker 1: In the morning on the Red Apple Podcast Network.
• 2:17:16
  Speaker 2: Thelma Houston, Don't Leave Me This Way. Love this song.
• 2:17:19
  Speaker 2: My wife just tells me I have three weddings in
• 2:17:22
  Speaker 2: two weeks in November.
• 2:17:23
  Speaker 20: Three.
• 2:17:24
  Speaker 2: November 7th, I've got a wedding. That's Siggy Flicker's kid.
• 2:17:27
  Speaker 2: And then I have two in a row, like the
• 2:17:29
  Speaker 2: 20th and the 21st. Mike Sullivan's kid and my cousin
• 2:17:34
  Speaker 2: Scott Arbuce's kid. I've got three weddings in like two weeks.
• 2:17:37
  Speaker 2: And I'm going to all of them. Well, how about that, Justin?
• 2:17:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 2:17:42
  Speaker 2: Big wedding month in November.
• 2:17:44
  Speaker 18: Yeah, it usually is, yeah.
• 2:17:45
  Speaker 2: It is?
• 2:17:46
  Speaker 13: I don't know.
• 2:17:46
  Speaker 18: I have no idea, bro.
• 2:17:48
  Speaker 2: I got married in June. June 25th. When did you
• 2:17:51
  Speaker 2: get married, Kevin? What month of the... He doesn't even know.
• 2:17:54
  Speaker 2: He has no idea.
• 2:17:54
  Speaker 18: No, he's got no idea.
• 2:17:55
  Speaker 2: No clue.
• 2:17:56
  Speaker 12: No.
• 2:17:57
  Speaker 2: I've got a big college football weekend coming up, starting
• 2:17:59
  Speaker 2: with the Hurricanes, taking on Wake on the road tonight.
• 2:18:02
  Speaker 2: Joe Lisi, goforthetwo.com, and his television work that he's on,
• 2:18:06
  Speaker 2: I believe, twice a week with Tommy Bowden. Good morning, Joseph.
• 2:18:09
  Speaker 2: How are you, pal? Doing well, Sid.
• 2:18:12
  Speaker 11: It's Terry Bowden, me and Coach Bowden, Tuesdays and Friday nights.
• 2:18:16
  Speaker 11: Tommy's a great coach.
• 2:18:17
  Speaker 2: Oh, Terry, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right.
• 2:18:20
  Speaker 2: I confuse it, too, sometimes, Terry and Tommy. I'm actually
• 2:18:23
  Speaker 2: closer with Terry. I was, at least, than I was
• 2:18:25
  Speaker 2: with Tommy, so I'm glad you're working with Terry. Twice
• 2:18:27
  Speaker 2: a week, Tuesday and Friday. And where can they find
• 2:18:29
  Speaker 2: you again, Joseph?
• 2:18:30
  Speaker 11: Well, it's up on X. It's up on YouTube and
• 2:18:33
  Speaker 11: FanStream Sports Network. It's 7 o'clock tonight. We give out
• 2:18:37
  Speaker 11: the games and the picks.
• 2:18:39
  Speaker 2: Okay, great. Well, we start tonight with Miami. And, of course,
• 2:18:42
  Speaker 2: I'm an alma mater. And they look great so far
• 2:18:45
  Speaker 2: this year. But Stanford and Florida A & M, hardly
• 2:18:49
  Speaker 2: stiff competition. Now, I'm not sure Wake is either. The
• 2:18:53
  Speaker 2: Hurricanes are still a three-touchdown favorite on the road. But
• 2:18:56
  Speaker 2: a little step up on the last two games. What
• 2:18:58
  Speaker 2: do you expect to see from the Hurricanes tonight?
• 2:19:01
  Speaker 11: What we saw for the first two games, Darian Mensah
• 2:19:03
  Speaker 11: and Malachi Toney to take over. Now, this line opened
• 2:19:06
  Speaker 11: up in Vegas and Jersey. Twenty-three and a half, we
• 2:19:09
  Speaker 11: saw short money come in. We're seeing 20 and a
• 2:19:12
  Speaker 11: half in the market. But I still think it's Mario Cristobal.
• 2:19:15
  Speaker 11: I think it's Mark Fletcher. I think it's all Hurricanes tonight.
• 2:19:19
  Speaker 11: I think they win this ballgame convincingly, move to 3-0.
• 2:19:22
  Speaker 2: So do I. They're going to kill him. So last
• 2:19:24
  Speaker 2: week I was doing this great event at Madison Square
• 2:19:27
  Speaker 2: Garden at the Theater for the Cops for September 11th.
• 2:19:30
  Speaker 2: So I didn't see it on TV, but this Texas comeback.
• 2:19:34
  Speaker 2: Leopard dead by the Buckeyes. Leopard dead. And of all people,
• 2:19:39
  Speaker 2: Arch Manning leads this incredible comeback. And Texas is now
• 2:19:44
  Speaker 2: the number one team in the country. That was unbelievable
• 2:19:47
  Speaker 2: last Saturday, Joe.
• 2:19:48
  Speaker 11: Yeah, Taylor two halves, Ryan Day and Arthur Smith, the
• 2:19:51
  Speaker 11: offensive coordinator for Ohio State, really blew it in the
• 2:19:54
  Speaker 11: second half. They got conservative and it bit them. And,
• 2:19:57
  Speaker 11: you know, credit Steve Sarkeesian and Arch Manning for the comeback.
• 2:20:01
  Speaker 11: I don't think Arch Manning played all that great. He
• 2:20:03
  Speaker 11: did throw for a touchdown and an interception on 197 yards.
• 2:20:08
  Speaker 11: But again, they are the best team for knocking off
• 2:20:10
  Speaker 11: a top five opponent. Now we have to see if
• 2:20:12
  Speaker 11: they could do it on the road, Sid. They were
• 2:20:14
  Speaker 11: undefeated at home last year. Last year, they were 4-3
• 2:20:17
  Speaker 11: in road environments. That's where they really need to step up,
• 2:20:20
  Speaker 11: have a critical game in a couple weeks against Tennessee
• 2:20:23
  Speaker 11: and Knoxville. We'll see if they can pull it out.
• 2:20:25
  Speaker 2: All right, so what do you think? Ohio State, that's
• 2:20:28
  Speaker 2: a very, very difficult loss. And they're still, of course,
• 2:20:30
  Speaker 2: in the championship picture. You can lose one game these days,
• 2:20:33
  Speaker 2: especially being the Buckeyes and play for all the money.
• 2:20:37
  Speaker 2: Miami lost a couple games last year, and they played
• 2:20:38
  Speaker 2: for all the money. But how do you think they
• 2:20:40
  Speaker 2: rebound after that horrible loss last week?
• 2:20:43
  Speaker 12: Well, I mean, it all depends.
• 2:20:44
  Speaker 11: I mean, are you going to lay the 52 and
• 2:20:46
  Speaker 11: a half, 53 that they're laying this week? I would
• 2:20:48
  Speaker 11: just sway against it. It's not a game I would
• 2:20:52
  Speaker 11: gamble on this coming weekend. But again, if you're going
• 2:20:54
  Speaker 11: to get Ohio State's best effort, it would come after
• 2:20:57
  Speaker 11: a disappointing loss, whether it be backups. Jeremiah Smith, to me,
• 2:21:01
  Speaker 11: is the best wide receiver in college football. Took the
• 2:21:04
  Speaker 11: game over last week, expecting a bounce back performance. They
• 2:21:07
  Speaker 11: don't lose at.
• 2:21:08
  Speaker 2: Home in Columbus.
• 2:21:09
  Speaker 11: Again, I don't Lay in 53-and-a-half, I would advise against it,
• 2:21:14
  Speaker 11: but they should dominate this matchup.
• 2:21:16
  Speaker 2: What other games coming up this weekend are you taking
• 2:21:19
  Speaker 2: a good look at, and what teams have really shocked
• 2:21:22
  Speaker 2: you so far this year, good or bad?
• 2:21:25
  Speaker 11: Well, I mean, I think the one right now is,
• 2:21:28
  Speaker 11: you know, I'm still, like, not sold on Alabama. I
• 2:21:31
  Speaker 11: know that, you know, we saw them dominate Kentucky. But, again,
• 2:21:34
  Speaker 11: I think Alabama, to me, is still not looked at
• 2:21:38
  Speaker 11: or viewed at, in my opinion, as a dominant team.
• 2:21:40
  Speaker 2: No, no, they're not the same. I agree. They're not
• 2:21:43
  Speaker 2: the same as the Saban teams. This kid, Russell, a quarterback,
• 2:21:46
  Speaker 2: does not have a lot of experience.
• 2:21:48
  Speaker 3: But.
• 2:21:49
  Speaker 2: They have looked pretty good the last two weeks. Again,
• 2:21:51
  Speaker 2: they're not playing Georgia, but they look pretty good the
• 2:21:53
  Speaker 2: last two weeks.
• 2:21:54
  Speaker 11: Yeah, but they're playing Florida State this week. And I
• 2:21:56
  Speaker 11: know Norvell potentially has one foot out the door. This
• 2:21:59
  Speaker 11: line opened up at 20 and a half. It's down
• 2:22:02
  Speaker 11: to 18 and a half. I actually like Florida State
• 2:22:04
  Speaker 11: to show well in this ballgame. They beat them last year.
• 2:22:07
  Speaker 11: They're able to run the football. And again, I'm not
• 2:22:09
  Speaker 11: sold on Keelan Russell, big picture. He threw for a
• 2:22:12
  Speaker 11: buck 88, a touchdown and two interceptions last week. A
• 2:22:15
  Speaker 11: lot of pressure on Alabama to avenge last year's loss.
• 2:22:19
  Speaker 11: I think Florida State could be within the number on
• 2:22:21
  Speaker 11: Saturday afternoon, so we'll see how it plays out. I
• 2:22:24
  Speaker 11: also think Maryland. Keep an eye out for Maryland. They're
• 2:22:27
  Speaker 11: taking on Virginia Tech and James Franklin. They have the
• 2:22:30
  Speaker 11: better quarterback in Malik Washington. I think it's a step
• 2:22:33
  Speaker 11: up in competition from VMI and Old Dominion. They're laying
• 2:22:36
  Speaker 11: only two and a half. Franklin is dominated lotsly, but
• 2:22:40
  Speaker 11: this team is much better than people think. I think
• 2:22:42
  Speaker 11: Maryland wins the ballgame outright. And then another spot that
• 2:22:47
  Speaker 11: people love the dog is Miss State. I like South Carolina.
• 2:22:50
  Speaker 11: I think it's the better side. They get Dylan Stewart,
• 2:22:53
  Speaker 11: their defensive end, and peak their offensive tackle back. One
• 2:22:56
  Speaker 11: of the best rushing attacks in college football, 341 on
• 2:22:59
  Speaker 11: the ground, and the sixth-best third-down offense in the country,
• 2:23:03
  Speaker 11: converting 63% of their opportunities. And I'll throw a cherry
• 2:23:07
  Speaker 11: on top. Mississippi State hasn't won in Columbia since 1998.
• 2:23:11
  Speaker 11: They've only played five times since then, but they've lost
• 2:23:14
  Speaker 11: those five games by 14 points per game. I think
• 2:23:17
  Speaker 11: South Carolina rolls on Saturday.
• 2:23:19
  Speaker 2: So do I. They're good. Their quarterback is good. He
• 2:23:20
  Speaker 2: makes plays, and I like South Carolina, too. The matchup
• 2:23:25
  Speaker 2: that will intrigue everybody the most tomorrow, though, has Lane
• 2:23:29
  Speaker 2: Kiffin taking on his old team, the team he deserted
• 2:23:32
  Speaker 2: last year before the bowl game. He's at LSU now.
• 2:23:36
  Speaker 2: A lot of Ole Miss people are still really pissed off.
• 2:23:39
  Speaker 2: How about Lane up against Ole Miss?
• 2:23:42
  Speaker 11: So people think I'm a homer because I do like
• 2:23:44
  Speaker 11: LSU from the fan perspective. My daughter went there last year,
• 2:23:47
  Speaker 11: but I have to look at things objectively. I'll just
• 2:23:50
  Speaker 11: say this, Sid. I'm not sold on their defensive coordinator.
• 2:23:53
  Speaker 12: Blake Baker.
• 2:23:54
  Speaker 11: Go back the last couple of years. Mobile quarterbacks abuse LSU.
• 2:23:59
  Speaker 11: I know they're athletic, but until they shut down a
• 2:24:01
  Speaker 11: mobile quarterback, I need to see it before I believe it.
• 2:24:04
  Speaker 11: And I think the two best quarterbacks in college football
• 2:24:06
  Speaker 11: to me, Darian Mensah from Miami and Trinidad Chambliss. I
• 2:24:10
  Speaker 11: think Chambliss... hands down, to take this game over. He's
• 2:24:13
  Speaker 11: the best player on the field. I'm not betting this game.
• 2:24:16
  Speaker 11: I'll be rooting for LSU, but if I had to bet,
• 2:24:19
  Speaker 11: I'd take the points with Ole Miss.
• 2:24:20
  Speaker 2: What do you think about Penn State, this quarterback Rocco?
• 2:24:23
  Speaker 2: This kid Rocco comes over from another school last year.
• 2:24:26
  Speaker 2: I forget the schools already. Iowa State. Iowa State. Anthony
• 2:24:30
  Speaker 2: Beck's kid. Right. There you go. Anthony Beck's from the Jets.
• 2:24:32
  Speaker 2: That's right. And Campbell, the coach, is from Iowa. Almost
• 2:24:35
  Speaker 2: the whole Penn State team at this point was on
• 2:24:37
  Speaker 2: Iowa State last year. But they do seem to be
• 2:24:40
  Speaker 2: better than Franklin's version the last couple of years. What
• 2:24:43
  Speaker 2: do you think?
• 2:24:45
  Speaker 11: I mean, they're playing Buffalo this week. They're lined open
• 2:24:48
  Speaker 11: up at 39 and a half. They didn't cover last week.
• 2:24:50
  Speaker 11: It's up to 40 and a half. They didn't cover
• 2:24:52
  Speaker 11: the 23 and a half point number against Temple. Interstate rivalry.
• 2:24:56
  Speaker 11: In this matchup, they should roll. They have Cupcake out
• 2:24:59
  Speaker 11: of conference schedule. They should be 3-0 after this weekend,
• 2:25:03
  Speaker 11: potentially put up a 50 spot. Buffalo's a Mac team.
• 2:25:06
  Speaker 11: They're down this year. I think it's all Rocco Beck,
• 2:25:09
  Speaker 11: all the rushing attack. I think they dominate this 40-point number.
• 2:25:13
  Speaker 2: I do, too. All right, so on the way out, Joseph,
• 2:25:15
  Speaker 2: you're great. You really are fantastic. Tell everybody one more
• 2:25:17
  Speaker 2: time where they can find you online with Terry. Where
• 2:25:21
  Speaker 2: are all the places you can find Joe Lisi?
• 2:25:23
  Speaker 11: Well, you can find me tonight, FanStream Sports Network, 7 p.m.
• 2:25:27
  Speaker 11: with Coach Bowden, Bowden Ball. It airs live, best bets
• 2:25:31
  Speaker 11: and predictions. And then I do an algorithmic model show
• 2:25:35
  Speaker 11: on X and YouTube tomorrow morning. We've been doing it
• 2:25:38
  Speaker 11: for the last two weeks. It's a pregame show, 10.30
• 2:25:41
  Speaker 11: on X and YouTube Live. We break it all down,
• 2:25:43
  Speaker 11: me versus the computer.
• 2:25:45
  Speaker 2: I love that. What time is that, 10.30?
• 2:25:47
  Speaker 11: 1030.
• 2:25:48
  Speaker 12: Yep.
• 2:25:49
  Speaker 2: I mean, you got to do better than what's his name?
• 2:25:51
  Speaker 2: Stanford Steve. No, what an ESPN.
• 2:25:56
  Speaker 11: Some of these games and why people should tune in
• 2:25:58
  Speaker 11: is because I cover the top 25 games. The computer
• 2:26:02
  Speaker 11: picks out their best seven games. They gave out UCLA
• 2:26:05
  Speaker 11: last week. which I didn't even like. They laid 12.5
• 2:26:09
  Speaker 11: against San Diego State. They scored a touchdown in the
• 2:26:11
  Speaker 11: final two minutes to win that ballgame by 18. Their
• 2:26:14
  Speaker 11: best bets are 2-0. And they picked under-the-radar games. Like
• 2:26:19
  Speaker 11: two weeks ago, we had North Dakota State and Fordham.
• 2:26:22
  Speaker 11: So you never know what the computer picks out. But
• 2:26:26
  Speaker 11: tune in, 10.30 sharp. It's the fastest hour and a
• 2:26:28
  Speaker 11: half in college football led by yours truly.
• 2:26:32
  Speaker 2: Joe Lisi, you're terrific. You really are. Great job here today.
• 2:26:34
  Speaker 2: You're always great. I enjoy having you on. Have a
• 2:26:36
  Speaker 2: great weekend. Enjoy the games. We'll do it again soon, Joe.
• 2:26:38
  Speaker 2: Thank you so much.
• 2:26:40
  Speaker 11: Anytime, Sid. Love the show.
• 2:26:41
  Speaker 2: Love you, too. Joe Lisi right there, folks. Check him
• 2:26:44
  Speaker 2: out with Terry Bowden. We'll come up. Come back, I
• 2:26:46
  Speaker 2: should say, and wrap things up in a hell of
• 2:26:49
