- 0:00Speaker 1: Sid and Friends in the Morning.
- 0:03Speaker 2: Entertaining and informative.
- 0:05Speaker 3: On the Red Apple Podcast Network.
- 0:09Speaker 4: Congratulations especially to Sid Rosenberg on his induction to the
- 0:14Speaker 4: New York State Broadcasters Hall of Fame.
- 0:17Speaker 5: I can't believe he didn't make it years ago.
- 0:20Speaker 4: Today, Sid forever joins a roll call of some of
- 0:23Speaker 4: the greatest legends in the history of New York broadcasting
- 0:27Speaker 4: and talk radio.
- 0:28Speaker 5: The best in the business, and he's the best in
- 0:30Speaker 5: the business.
- 0:31Speaker 4: Over many years, Sid has distinguished himself as one of
- 0:34Speaker 4: the most authentic and recognizable voices in American airwaves, and
- 0:39Speaker 4: he's built a smart, loyal, gigantic audience, and I happen.
- 0:43Speaker 5: To be one of those people in the audience.
- 0:46Speaker 4: And I had for a long time, long before I
- 0:48Speaker 4: became president.
- 0:50Speaker 6: Mayor Mamdani's pied-à-terre tax is dealt a major setback after
- 0:54Speaker 6: a judge ruled the city bungled the rollout. Political reporter
- 0:58Speaker 6: Marcia Kramer has the new developments.
- 1:01Speaker 7: It's back to the drawing board for Mayor Mamdani, who
- 1:04Speaker 7: will now have to draw up a new plan to
- 1:05Speaker 7: collect his so-called pied-à-terre tax on the second homes of
- 1:09Speaker 7: rich people valued at over $ 5 million and co-ops and
- 1:12Speaker 7: condos valued at over $ 1 million.
- 1:15Speaker 8: It confirms what we've been saying all along, which is
- 1:18Speaker 8: that the Mamdani administration massively screwed up the rollout of
- 1:23Speaker 8: this pied-à-terre tax.
- 1:26Speaker 9: And.
- 1:27Speaker 2: requires a do-over.
- 1:29Speaker 7: Attorney Randy Mastro, who filed the suit, says the way
- 1:32Speaker 7: the city did it, listing 900,000 people on a list
- 1:35Speaker 7: of people who could be subjected to the tax and
- 1:38Speaker 7: sending letters to 17,000 others, unfairly puts the burden of
- 1:41Speaker 7: proof on homeowners to establish they are full-time city residents.
- 1:46Speaker 7: Judge Wayne Ozzie agreed, saying, quote, A spokesperson for Governor Hochul,
- 1:49Speaker 7: who promised a tax to help the city, said, quote,
- 2:07Speaker 7: can't afford to help pay for the police officers' trash
- 2:10Speaker 7: pickup and snow removal that keep New York City running.
- 2:13Speaker 7: The governor was proud to sign this legislation, and the
- 2:16Speaker 7: state will defend it in court. A spokesman for the
- 2:19Speaker 7: mayor said, quote, the pied-à-terre surcharge is about a basic
- 2:23Speaker 7: principle of fairness. If you can afford a luxury second
- 2:26Speaker 7: home in New York City, you can afford to pay
- 2:29Speaker 7: your fair share for the schools, streets and parks that
- 2:32Speaker 7: make the city work.
- 2:34Speaker 6: Marcia, as this legal fight continues and works its way
- 2:38Speaker 6: through the courts. What does this actually mean then for
- 2:41Speaker 6: the city's ability to actually collect this tax?
- 2:44Speaker 2: Well, Christine, no, it's a little complicated.
- 2:46Speaker 7: The city invoked a stay of the judge's ruling, which
- 2:49Speaker 7: means the tax will still appear on tax bills and
- 2:52Speaker 7: have to be paid on January 1st. But the suit
- 2:55Speaker 7: against the botched rollout continues and will still have to
- 2:59Speaker 7: be litigated. And as the governor's spokesperson said, the state
- 3:02Speaker 7: intends to defend the tax in court. The city argues
- 3:05Speaker 7: that the rollout has not harmed the owners of second
- 3:08Speaker 7: homes in any meaningful way.
- 3:11Speaker 8: Okay.
- 3:11Speaker 7: To be continued.
- 3:12Speaker 5: Meaningful way. Okay.
- 3:13Speaker 7: Thank you, Marcia.
- 3:15Speaker 6: With crimes against Jewish New Yorkers on the rise, Mayor
- 3:18Speaker 6: Mamdani unveiled what he's calling a new plan to combat anti-Semitism.
- 3:22Speaker 6: But critics say that it's his rhetoric that has helped
- 3:25Speaker 6: create a hostile environment for Jews. Political reporter Marcia Kramer
- 3:29Speaker 6: has the story.
- 3:31Speaker 7: It began, as it often does, with a self-released video
- 3:34Speaker 7: in which Mayor Mamdani expressed his support for the nearly
- 3:37Speaker 7: one million Jewish New Yorkers who live here.
- 3:39Speaker 5: Jewish New Yorkers should feel cherished and celebrated in the
- 3:43Speaker 5: most Jewish city in America.
- 3:45Speaker 7: And he unveiled a plan for combating the troubling rise
- 3:47Speaker 7: in anti-Semitism. Anti-Semitic hate crimes have increased 8% so far
- 3:52Speaker 7: this year, making up 53.9% of all hate crimes, even
- 3:56Speaker 7: though Jews are only 10% of the population. The plan
- 3:59Speaker 7: included $ 1 million for increased security at synagogues and Jewish organizations, $ 6. 4
- 4:05Speaker 7: million for grants to Jewish groups, many of whom support him,
- 4:08Speaker 7: to focus on hate crime prevention, a move to have
- 4:11Speaker 7: more public school students visit the Holocaust Museum, a program
- 4:14Speaker 7: proposed and funded by Council Speaker Julie Menon last March,
- 4:18Speaker 7: and funds for a Holocaust memorial in Queens and a
- 4:20Speaker 7: Center for Jewish Culture in Brooklyn. The announcement coming after
- 4:24Speaker 7: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu took him to task.
- 4:27Speaker 1: Since you were elected mayor of this city, many Jews
- 4:31Speaker 1: no longer feel safe in New York.
- 4:34Speaker 7: The mayor's announcement also included praise from a long list
- 4:37Speaker 7: of his supporters, many of whom have joined him in
- 4:39Speaker 7: attacking Israel's response to the October 7th massacre, saying it
- 4:43Speaker 7: was genocide in Gaza. The mayor's anti-Semitism report shows a
- 4:47Speaker 7: mayor listening and responding to our concerns, said Jamie Barron,
- 4:50Speaker 7: CEO of Bend the Arc, which endorsed Mamdani's campaign for mayor.
- 4:54Speaker 10: The administration is taking steps in the right direction. I
- 4:56Speaker 10: think we should applaud that, but also find how they
- 4:59Speaker 10: can continue to make sure that everyone in the state
- 5:01Speaker 10: and in the city feels safe. No one should feel
- 5:04Speaker 10: under threat or intimidated because of their faith.
- 5:08Speaker 7: But a joint statement by the UJA Federation, the Jewish
- 5:11Speaker 7: Community Relations Council, and a New York board of rabbis
- 5:14Speaker 7: blamed the mayor for fanning the flames of Jew hatred,
- 5:17Speaker 7: saying Mamdani's plan, quote, fails to address a central issue
- 5:20Speaker 7: that the mayor himself has perpetuated. rhetoric that demonizes and
- 5:25Speaker 7: delegitimizes Israel inevitably leads to the targeting of Jewish New Yorkers.
- 5:29Speaker 11: This is an administration that has not been reflective on
- 5:33Speaker 11: the issue, has not looked in the mirror and said, OK,
- 5:36Speaker 11: there's a serious problem and maybe we're part of it.
- 5:40Speaker 2: And if they don't do that, nothing's going to change.
- 5:43Speaker 11: In fact, I think that the mayor's remarks this past
- 5:46Speaker 11: summer have really caused enormous harm to the Jewish community.
- 5:51Speaker 7: Now, in his video remarks, the mayor praised the contributions
- 5:55Speaker 7: of Jews, naming Letter Bernstein, Katz's Deli, and Kleinfeld Bridal.
- 6:00Speaker 7: Council Speaker Julie Menon, who proposed and passed a five-point
- 6:03Speaker 7: plan to combat anti-Semitism in March, said combating Jew hatred is, quote,
- 6:07Speaker 7: an urgent and substantial challenge for all of our city government.
- 6:11Speaker 7: Former Mayor Eric Adams established the first office to combat
- 6:15Speaker 7: anti-Semitism last May.
- 6:17Speaker 12: President Trump says there's no need for the government to
- 6:20Speaker 12: add restrictions on AI. The president met with AI executives
- 6:24Speaker 12: at the White House, and Nancy Cordes reports on what
- 6:28Speaker 12: was discussed.
- 6:29Speaker 4: These are the most brilliant people in the world.
- 6:32Speaker 13: In an extraordinary meeting at the White House, many of
- 6:35Speaker 13: the nation's most powerful AI leaders urged President Trump to
- 6:38Speaker 13: let them police themselves.
- 6:41Speaker 2: He agreed.
- 6:42Speaker 4: There's a belief that there should be tremendous self-regulation.
- 6:45Speaker 13: Surrounding Trump were the heads of Meta, Google, NVIDIA, SpaceX, Amazon,
- 6:50Speaker 13: and OpenAI. Just this week, OpenAI announced it is pausing
- 6:55Speaker 13: the release of its newest AI model over safety concerns.
- 6:59Speaker 13: Reuters reported that Anthropic, whose CEO was there today too,
- 7:03Speaker 13: plans to caution potential investors that AI could pose, quote,
- 7:07Speaker 13: catastrophic or existential risks to humanity.
- 7:11Speaker 2: What do you guys think?
- 7:12Speaker 13: Alex Karp is the CEO of Palantir.
- 7:14Speaker 1: The data center controversy came up too, with Trump urging
- 7:16Speaker 1: the CEOs to build goodwill by supplying more.
- 7:18Speaker 2: Electricity and school funding to local communities.
- 7:32Speaker 5: The people in those areas that we discussed this at.
- 7:35Speaker 4: Length today, they're going to greatly benefit financially.
- 7:39Speaker 8: Mr.
- 7:40Speaker 12: President, do you want.
- 7:43Speaker 13: The administration homes when they're building these data centers?
- 7:46Speaker 4: Yeah, I think I want them to be in the
- 7:48Speaker 4: right location within a community.
- 7:50Speaker 13: There are tech executives who support more government guardrails for AI,
- 7:54Speaker 13: but they held back here at the White House, at
- 7:57Speaker 13: least when the cameras were on.
- 7:59Speaker 1: Not on the roster for this round. That doesn't say
- 8:02Speaker 1: anything about future rounds. This to right field is a
- 8:05Speaker 1: base hit.
- 8:06Speaker 14: Abreu can really throw.
- 8:07Speaker 1: He loads up and fires. It's offline.
- 8:10Speaker 14: And the Yankees have taken the first lead.
- 8:13Speaker 1: In this series.
- 8:17Speaker 9: 1-1.
- 8:18Speaker 5: Charged up.
- 8:19Speaker 1: Straight away. Raffaella back.
- 8:27Speaker 14: Line drive, right field, a misplaced fastball, and the Yankees
- 8:33Speaker 14: add on. He hammers this ball, right center field.
- 8:40Speaker 1: It is a slam! What a night for Ben Rice.
- 8:54Speaker 1: Six RBIs, four hits tonight, two homers, a single, and
- 8:58Speaker 1: a double. This morning, I'm not even in New York City.
- 9:01Speaker 1: I'm in Paramus, New Jersey.
- 9:03Speaker 15: So I got about two hours sleep, but we're ready
- 9:05Speaker 15: to rock and roll as we usually are on this
- 9:07Speaker 15: Wednesday morning show. And what a star-studded cast in Suite
- 9:13Speaker 15: 45 at Yankee Stadium last night, Wendy Levine's suite. Obviously,
- 9:17Speaker 15: I just mentioned me, my family, and Justin, but you
- 9:20Speaker 15: had Chaz Palminteri from a Bronx tale. He was there
- 9:23Speaker 15: with his son, also a great actor, Dante. That was
- 9:26Speaker 15: fun to see those guys last night. You had Robert Wohl.
- 9:30Speaker 15: You guys remember that great show, Arliss, on HBO, the
- 9:34Speaker 15: sports agent? He was also a new bomb Turk in
- 9:36Speaker 15: Hollywood nights. He was there last night. In fact, he'll
- 9:39Speaker 15: join me coming up.
- 9:40Speaker 1: Later on today.
- 9:41Speaker 15: Very few people that I've met in my life, in
- 9:45Speaker 15: my almost 60 years on earth, that includes Christopher Mad
- 9:49Speaker 15: Dog Russo, that includes Bob Costas, that includes Peter Gammons.
- 9:54Speaker 15: Very few people know more about baseball than Robert well,
- 9:59Speaker 15: maybe Kevin Costner. But Walt will join us coming up
- 10:02Speaker 15: at about 9.40 this morning. We got a loaded show.
- 10:06Speaker 15: We got six guests coming your way this morning. And
- 10:10Speaker 15: the Yankees were the big story in the city yesterday sports-wise.
- 10:14Speaker 15: All four wild card games. took place yesterday, and three
- 10:18Speaker 15: of the four home teams won. Yankees won easily behind
- 10:22Speaker 15: another great outing from the best pitcher in baseball, Cam Schlittler.
- 10:26Speaker 15: Ben Rice had a huge night. He had two home runs,
- 10:29Speaker 15: including a grand slam. And the Yankees made easy work
- 10:32Speaker 15: of the Red Sox, winning 9-0. Also won us at
- 10:35Speaker 15: home last night, the Padres. This one was late. They
- 10:38Speaker 15: also shut out the Cubs, 8-0. Earlier in the day,
- 10:41Speaker 15: Austin Riley, with a monstrous 2-out, 3-1 home run in
- 10:45Speaker 15: the bottom of the 8th, lifting the Braves over the
- 10:47Speaker 15: Phillies 5-3. And the only home team that lost yesterday
- 10:52Speaker 15: was the Astros. They lost to the Chicago White Sox.
- 10:56Speaker 15: So the Astros are facing elimination today at home in Houston,
- 10:59Speaker 15: while the Yankees... The Padres and the Braves have a
- 11:04Speaker 15: chance to move on to second round action with home
- 11:07Speaker 15: wins later on today. So the baseball playoffs are rolling
- 11:12Speaker 15: after just one day of action yesterday afternoon. But the
- 11:15Speaker 15: biggest story in the city, bigger than the baseball, is
- 11:19Speaker 15: this lying, thieving story. anti-Semite that parades around town like
- 11:25Speaker 15: he cares. This loser, low-life Mayor Mamdani, just a huge
- 11:31Speaker 15: piece of garbage. And he's not fooling me. You know,
- 11:35Speaker 15: I just watched that video yesterday, and he's got this
- 11:39Speaker 15: combat anti-Semitism force.
- 11:41Speaker 1: What a load of nonsense. You know those stories, guys?
- 11:46Speaker 1: Guy shows up. He starts a fire. He leaves the scene.
- 11:52Speaker 1: And then he comes back like an hour later. Oh,
- 11:55Speaker 1: look at this. There's a fire.
- 11:56Speaker 15: And then he puts the fire out and he wants
- 11:59Speaker 15: to be a hero. He wants to be deemed a hero.
- 12:02Speaker 15: He started the fire, but he came back an hour later.
- 12:06Speaker 15: And he put the fire out, and he wants to
- 12:08Speaker 15: be perceived as a hero. That's the mayor. He started
- 12:13Speaker 15: this fire. His rhetoric, what he says day after day
- 12:17Speaker 15: after day about the Jews, about Bibi Netanyahu, about Israel,
- 12:22Speaker 15: he's the criminal here.
- 12:24Speaker 1: And now yesterday he's got some stupid plan.
- 12:27Speaker 15: He never even defined anti-Semitism yesterday. I mean, don't forget,
- 12:32Speaker 15: first day on the job, he signed an executive order
- 12:36Speaker 15: which basically we defined anti-Semitism where there's no definition. So
- 12:41Speaker 15: I care that he's got some cockamamie $ 7 million plan yesterday?
- 12:47Speaker 1: The man that cares about the Jewish people? It's nonsense.
- 12:51Speaker 15: The ADL even came out, and they criticized the whole deal.
- 12:55Speaker 15: And here's how I know anti-Semitism combat by Mamdani is
- 13:00Speaker 15: one big joke. Marsha Kramer, you got to be smarter, sweetheart.
- 13:04Speaker 15: You want to interview the mayor? Ask him tough questions.
- 13:08Speaker 1: Nonsense.
- 13:09Speaker 15: Morgan McKay, ask him tough questions. Katie Honan, ask him
- 13:14Speaker 15: tough questions.
- 13:15Speaker 1: Melissa Russo, NBC.
- 13:18Speaker 15: What a joke. A complete joke. Ask this guy tough questions.
- 13:24Speaker 15: Here's how I know this whole thing is one big sham. Norm,
- 13:28Speaker 15: you want to take a guess how?
- 13:30Speaker 1: Hmm.
- 13:31Speaker 2: I don't know.
- 13:32Speaker 15: Well, what community do I always hammer? What Jewish community
- 13:36Speaker 15: do I always hammer for being in bed? Money deals, obviously,
- 13:39Speaker 15: with Mayor Mamdani.
- 13:41Speaker 2: The Orthodox community, or I should say the, people don't
- 13:44Speaker 2: like this phrase, but the ultra-Orthodox.
- 13:46Speaker 1: The Satmars.
- 13:46Speaker 8: Yeah.
- 13:47Speaker 1: Not the Orthodox.
- 13:48Speaker 15: The Orthodox are fine. They're MAGA people. They're Republicans. They
- 13:51Speaker 15: love Trump. Specifically, the Satmars. And what two rabbis specifically?
- 13:57Speaker 15: Rabbi Teitelbaum, he should be in jail, and Rabbi Moshe Indig,
- 14:02Speaker 15: he should be in jail.
- 14:03Speaker 1: How about that, Noam?
- 14:04Speaker 2: That's big.
- 14:05Speaker 15: Yeah, so here's what Indig tweeted yesterday. This is how
- 14:08Speaker 15: you know this whole deal is nonsense. He goes, this
- 14:11Speaker 15: is what leadership looks like. City Hall released a comprehensive
- 14:16Speaker 15: municipal plan to combat anti-Semitism.
- 14:20Speaker 1: I mean, did he even see this?
- 14:22Speaker 15: He goes on to say Mayor Mamdani promised to combat anti-Semitism,
- 14:27Speaker 15: and he delivered.
- 14:29Speaker 1: He delivered? So have the numbers for hate crimes now
- 14:33Speaker 1: gone down in one day? Have we seen this? No.
- 14:37Speaker 1: So how did the mayor deliver? What did he do?
- 14:39Speaker 15: He stood up there, made some stupid speech, spent a
- 14:42Speaker 15: couple of million dollars, and promised to protect Jewish New Yorkers?
- 14:47Speaker 1: What did he really do that he delivered yesterday?
- 14:49Speaker 2: Well, we won't know until this is in place.
- 14:52Speaker 15: That's right. And the truth is, it's going to do nothing.
- 14:55Speaker 15: Eric Adams tried this nonsense. Nothing improved. Mayor Mamdani yesterday.
- 15:00Speaker 15: Nothing's going to improve. But already, Rabbi Indig in the
- 15:04Speaker 15: Satmar community is congratulating Mamdani because he delivered. He goes,
- 15:10Speaker 15: thank you, New York City Mayor, Director and Deputy Director
- 15:15Speaker 15: Office to Combat Antisemitism. This other lady, she's a joke.
- 15:21Speaker 15: Felicia Wisdom, you know her, no? And Josh Binderman, who's that, no?
- 15:26Speaker 2: I don't know who that is.
- 15:28Speaker 1: All right, well, clearly Indig knows these people.
- 15:30Speaker 15: We don't even know who they are because he's on
- 15:33Speaker 15: the inside. So I know you played something from the
- 15:36Speaker 15: ADL earlier today. Who else commented on this complete farce
- 15:41Speaker 15: that the mayor is trying to pull the wool over
- 15:44Speaker 15: all New Yorkers' eyes yesterday?
- 15:46Speaker 2: Well, that was the biggest organization that I heard from anyway.
- 15:48Speaker 2: I mean, there may have been others that I missed
- 15:50Speaker 2: that have weighed in, but I think people were taking
- 15:52Speaker 2: a step back just to look at the whole thing
- 15:54Speaker 2: because there was a lot in there and then decide
- 15:56Speaker 2: what comment they were going to make.
- 15:58Speaker 1: So what do you think of it?
- 15:59Speaker 2: Well, I think I probably see it like a lot
- 16:02Speaker 2: of other New Yorkers would see it is that First
- 16:06Speaker 2: of all, the timing of it. Why all of a
- 16:07Speaker 2: sudden now, after we had this week with the UN
- 16:10Speaker 2: General Assembly, where you were on the attack against Bibi Netanyahu,
- 16:15Speaker 2: there were a lot of people who would suggest in
- 16:17Speaker 2: the city that the reason that there's been this huge
- 16:20Speaker 2: uptick in anti-Semitic attacks is because of the mayor. And
- 16:24Speaker 2: there was no comment about that at all. I mean,
- 16:27Speaker 2: if he had really wanted to make inroads with the
- 16:29Speaker 2: Jewish community, he may have started with Let's talk about
- 16:32Speaker 2: my wife and some of the comments she made and
- 16:34Speaker 2: the things that she liked on Twitter. Okay, let's talk
- 16:36Speaker 2: about the fact that I know you Jewish New Yorkers
- 16:39Speaker 2: believe I am the reason, or at least part of
- 16:41Speaker 2: the reason, there's been an uptick in anti-Semitic attacks because
- 16:45Speaker 2: of the comments I've made about Israel. If he had
- 16:47Speaker 2: said all those things ahead of time and then laid
- 16:50Speaker 2: this out, maybe people would have said, okay, let me
- 16:54Speaker 2: take a look at it. At least he's acknowledging that
- 16:56Speaker 2: he's made some mistakes. He's a young guy. He's new
- 16:58Speaker 2: at this. And he's saying, I want to do something right.
- 17:02Speaker 2: But now you start to say, well, what is this
- 17:03Speaker 2: all about? Why is it coming now? Clearly, obviously, he
- 17:07Speaker 2: wants to score political points. But why today? Why yesterday?
- 17:10Speaker 2: And why after the U.N. General Assembly? What was about
- 17:13Speaker 2: yesterday that was the reason they decided to do it?
- 17:16Speaker 15: Yeah, almost a week since he once again described Bibi
- 17:20Speaker 15: as genocidal, described Bibi as a war criminal, wanted to
- 17:26Speaker 15: put Bibi in jail. None of these things are true,
- 17:30Speaker 15: none of them. It doesn't stop people from talking about it.
- 17:34Speaker 15: When Timmy Paciola interviewed me when I was leaving the U.N.
- 17:37Speaker 1: Last week, when I watched my friend.
- 17:39Speaker 15: Bibi speak live, he said, you know, Sid, he goes,
- 17:42Speaker 15: you're always saying that Jewish people are really angry with Mamdani,
- 17:46Speaker 15: he goes, but there's a lot of Jewish people that
- 17:48Speaker 15: voted for Mamdani. There's a lot of Jewish people that
- 17:51Speaker 15: support Mamdani.
- 17:52Speaker 1: I said, yeah, there are.
- 17:54Speaker 15: Yeah, they're fake Jews. Just like we know about the
- 17:57Speaker 15: fake news, now you got fake Jews.
- 17:59Speaker 1: Same thing.
- 18:01Speaker 15: These are people that don't care about Israel. They don't care.
- 18:05Speaker 15: You know, they barely care about their religion. They're involved
- 18:08Speaker 15: in all kinds of money deals with the city. So, yes,
- 18:11Speaker 15: there is a minor percentage of Jewish people, maybe somewhere
- 18:15Speaker 15: in the 20s, that voted for this creep, like these
- 18:19Speaker 15: Satmar people. And then you get other folks... Other folks
- 18:23Speaker 15: that do defend him publicly that are Jewish. But I
- 18:26Speaker 15: think you'd agree, Noam, that is not the majority of
- 18:30Speaker 15: Jewish people in New York City.
- 18:32Speaker 1: They're like me. They hate this mother of her.
- 18:34Speaker 2: And what is it with this mayor and these videos?
- 18:37Speaker 1: Right.
- 18:37Speaker 2: So yesterday's. announcement came in this video that had this
- 18:40Speaker 2: music in the background i know what was so strange
- 18:43Speaker 2: i know you remember he did that initially with bb
- 18:46Speaker 2: netanyahu as well when he went after him uh over
- 18:49Speaker 2: the summer he had.
- 18:50Speaker 15: Like tradition playing in the background but right i think
- 18:53Speaker 15: he's a genius with that they they actually give him
- 18:56Speaker 15: credit for winning the mayoral race because of what he
- 18:59Speaker 15: does well.
- 19:00Speaker 2: On these videos yeah but this one just it's weird
- 19:03Speaker 2: and that one with With Bibi Netanyahu, where the video
- 19:07Speaker 2: was kind of dark, it was dark, darkly set, and
- 19:10Speaker 2: there was weird music in the background. How about just
- 19:12Speaker 2: holding a press conference and taking questions from the press?
- 19:15Speaker 2: Lay out what you're going to do and let people
- 19:17Speaker 2: ask you about it. But it's just odd.
- 19:20Speaker 1: It is odd. And he's a liar.
- 19:22Speaker 15: The bottom line is the mayor of New York City.
- 19:26Speaker 15: is a raging anti-Semite. He doesn't care even a little
- 19:31Speaker 15: about the Jewish people. He can come up with all
- 19:34Speaker 15: the task forces and all the press conferences he wants.
- 19:39Speaker 15: All you got to do is listen to the guy.
- 19:42Speaker 15: I mean, what else do you need? One more time.
- 19:46Speaker 15: I know what's getting old his wife who all he
- 19:49Speaker 15: says about his wife is she's not a public person
- 19:53Speaker 15: she's not your moron she's the first lady of new
- 19:55Speaker 15: york city she's the mayor's wife of course she's a
- 19:59Speaker 15: public person and i love her so much she's such
- 20:02Speaker 15: a wonderful woman really What wonderful woman would go online
- 20:07Speaker 15: and actually like videos of young girls being raped and
- 20:12Speaker 15: murdered in the streets?
- 20:14Speaker 1: What nice woman would do that?
- 20:15Speaker 16: I don't know.
- 20:16Speaker 15: I'm married to a nice woman, 34 years. She wouldn't
- 20:20Speaker 15: do that. What nice woman would like a video of
- 20:23Speaker 15: a baby being thrown into an oven? That's the mayor's wife.
- 20:28Speaker 15: That's the lady that he tries to convince us is
- 20:31Speaker 15: the greatest woman God ever created.
- 20:34Speaker 1: And do you think he feels any more different than
- 20:36Speaker 1: she does?
- 20:38Speaker 15: So because the stupid Satmar Jewish community or other Jews
- 20:43Speaker 15: voted for this creep or he does this ridiculous combat anti-Semitism,
- 20:47Speaker 15: Eric Adams did the same thing. Remember he put together
- 20:50Speaker 15: this whole task force? It was literally one person. Moshe Davis,
- 20:55Speaker 15: that was it. He had Lizzie Sivetsky there one day.
- 20:58Speaker 15: That was nonsense. Even had Randy Mastro there one day.
- 21:01Speaker 15: He's going to join me today. You had one person
- 21:04Speaker 15: on his task force. To be honest, Eric Adams also
- 21:08Speaker 15: did nothing after October 7th to help us in New
- 21:11Speaker 15: York City. I myself had to break up a fight
- 21:15Speaker 15: on a train between some drunk black guy and a
- 21:18Speaker 15: rabbi going back to his house in Brooklyn on a
- 21:20Speaker 15: Friday morning. Me, myself, a civilian, had almost knocked that
- 21:24Speaker 15: guy out.
- 21:25Speaker 1: Where was Eric Adams? He was in Rome.
- 21:27Speaker 15: He was trying to combat anti-Semitism in Italy when we
- 21:31Speaker 15: had it right on the streets at Columbia University. So really,
- 21:34Speaker 15: the last mayor wasn't great either, but he was a
- 21:37Speaker 15: lot better than this guy.
- 21:38Speaker 1: I think you'd agree with that, Noam, yes?
- 21:40Speaker 2: There's no comparison at all, no.
- 21:43Speaker 1: What a nightmare, no?
- 21:46Speaker 2: Again, I'm curious, like, why do you think all of
- 21:49Speaker 2: a sudden yesterday, what was happening? What's going on? Is
- 21:51Speaker 2: he getting pressure from somebody?
- 21:53Speaker 15: Yeah, he must be getting pressure. You know, he embarrassed
- 21:56Speaker 15: himself last week. He was ridiculous. I know that everybody
- 21:59Speaker 15: thinks that the whole world now hates B.B. and the
- 22:02Speaker 15: whole world hates Israel and the whole world hates Jews.
- 22:06Speaker 15: I am telling you, because I'm smarter than most of you,
- 22:09Speaker 15: if not all of you, that is the minority. Most
- 22:12Speaker 15: Americans are good people. They know what happened. The war
- 22:16Speaker 15: didn't start on October the 8th. The war didn't start
- 22:20Speaker 15: when Hamas went on TikTok and made it seem like.
- 22:22Speaker 1: Israel were the bad guys.
- 22:24Speaker 15: The war didn't start when Tucker Carlson did his first podcast, okay?
- 22:30Speaker 15: The war started on October the 7th when 1,300 innocent
- 22:34Speaker 15: Israelis on a holiday Shabbat morning were savaged, raped, murdered
- 22:41Speaker 15: and brutalized by a bunch of animals that somehow right
- 22:46Speaker 15: now have become heroes to a small population here in
- 22:50Speaker 15: this country, in Europe, and around the world.
- 22:55Speaker 1: There's your summary, Noam, right there. That's it.
- 22:58Speaker 15: So on a brighter note, this is a gorgeous store,
- 23:02Speaker 15: Electronics Expo. They got all these big flat screen TVs
- 23:06Speaker 15: with amazing color. Got a bunch of Samsung TVs to
- 23:10Speaker 15: my left. I almost wish I was doing this show
- 23:13Speaker 15: on a Sunday. because I can watch football on these
- 23:17Speaker 15: beautiful televisions. Maybe I'll come back on a Sunday, get
- 23:20Speaker 15: a Starbucks coffee there right next door and just watch football.
- 23:23Speaker 15: But they've got incredible, incredible televisions and all kinds of
- 23:28Speaker 15: great electronics. It's a very, very big store. Now, they
- 23:31Speaker 15: don't open, obviously, at 5.30 in the morning, but they
- 23:34Speaker 15: were kind enough. My buddy Leon here, who picked the
- 23:37Speaker 15: Giants a couple of days ago.
- 23:38Speaker 1: Good job, Leon. Giants beat the Titans in cover.
- 23:43Speaker 15: He came in early, got about 10 different workers here
- 23:46Speaker 15: this morning, a bunch of very handsome and pretty ladies.
- 23:49Speaker 1: We appreciate you coming in.
- 23:50Speaker 15: Tom is here, and Nino DeNino here with WABC. So
- 23:54Speaker 15: if you're anywhere near the Paramus area, my old neighborhood,
- 23:57Speaker 15: I used to live in Tenafly, New Jersey, and when
- 24:00Speaker 15: my daughter was born, we used to come here all
- 24:01Speaker 15: the time and shop. So I love Paramus. I used
- 24:04Speaker 15: to shop at the Riverside Square across the street. Go
- 24:07Speaker 15: to the Morton's over there and all those great restaurants.
- 24:10Speaker 15: So if you're anywhere near Paramus this morning and you're
- 24:13Speaker 15: by yourself with beautiful television or meet me, come on
- 24:16Speaker 15: by Electronics Expo. I believe the address is 197 Route
- 24:22Speaker 15: 17 here in scenic.
- 24:24Speaker 1: And beautiful Paramus, New Jersey. Now, Noam, you live in
- 24:27Speaker 1: Jersey City.
- 24:28Speaker 17: Yeah.
- 24:29Speaker 1: But you know how beautiful Paramus is.
- 24:30Speaker 2: Yeah, I know exactly where you are. I've passed there often.
- 24:33Speaker 1: Oh, you have? Yeah, of course. You should come by today.
- 24:36Speaker 2: Well, I'm on the air.
- 24:38Speaker 1: Oh, that's true.
- 24:38Speaker 17: You're right.
- 24:39Speaker 15: By the time you get here, I'll be going home.
- 24:41Speaker 15: I got a big event tonight. I'm hosting for our
- 24:43Speaker 15: friend Caroline Schinkel. She was on this show Monday. She
- 24:48Speaker 15: is running for Congress, the old seat that Jerry Nather had.
- 24:51Speaker 15: And for the second time in about a month and
- 24:53Speaker 15: a half, I'll be hosting the event at the same place,
- 24:57Speaker 15: Dorian's Red Hand Bar.
- 24:59Speaker 1: Dorian's is at 1616 2nd Avenue. It's in the 60s
- 25:02Speaker 1: on 2nd Avenue. Caroline is a wonderful candidate. She really is.
- 25:09Speaker 1: Her mother, Carolyn, she's a great lady, too.
- 25:12Speaker 15: And there'll be a whole bunch of candidates running, all
- 25:15Speaker 15: Republicans in New York City that'll be there later on tonight.
- 25:19Speaker 15: My cousin, my first cousin, the esteemed Norman Coleman. Former senator, Minnesota.
- 25:25Speaker 15: Also the head of the RJC. He's going to be
- 25:28Speaker 15: calling in on a Zoom just to lend support to
- 25:31Speaker 15: Caroline Schenkel. She's getting support now, Noam, from people even
- 25:35Speaker 15: outside of New York City. That's how big and important
- 25:38Speaker 15: this race is. And that's how much people like Caroline Schenkel.
- 25:42Speaker 15: So how about that?
- 25:43Speaker 1: That's big. Very big. Are you going to come?
- 25:47Speaker 2: Is this where you're going to, I'm going to say
- 25:49Speaker 2: I want to come and then you're going to tell
- 25:50Speaker 2: me I'm not invited?
- 25:50Speaker 1: No, you can actually come to this.
- 25:52Speaker 9: Oh.
- 25:52Speaker 2: All right, maybe I'll come then.
- 25:54Speaker 1: That's a no.
- 25:56Speaker 2: What time is it?
- 25:57Speaker 1: What time is it now?
- 25:58Speaker 2: No, no, I know what time it is now.
- 26:00Speaker 9: 6.33.
- 26:00Speaker 2: Yeah, know what time is the event tonight?
- 26:01Speaker 1: Oh, the event. The event is from 6 to 9 p.m.
- 26:04Speaker 17: Tonight. Okay.
- 26:06Speaker 15: We got food. We got drinks. I think Larry Roth
- 26:08Speaker 15: is going to be there. Does a great job at Dorian's.
- 26:10Speaker 15: And like I said, a whole bunch of candidates running
- 26:13Speaker 15: for the Republican Party. I would imagine Joe Hernandez. I
- 26:16Speaker 15: don't know this, but my guess is he'll stop by.
- 26:18Speaker 15: He's running for Comptroller. Maybe Sarita will stop by. She's
- 26:22Speaker 15: running against Letitia James for Attorney General. Maybe that lady
- 26:26Speaker 15: was in the studio yesterday. Christina Pantanelli will stop by.
- 26:29Speaker 1: I don't know.
- 26:30Speaker 15: I just know that usually when I do these events
- 26:33Speaker 15: in the city, you do it for one candidate, and
- 26:35Speaker 15: you've got six that want to speak before it's all
- 26:38Speaker 15: said and done. So 6 to 9 tonight, Dorian's, 1616
- 26:43Speaker 15: 2nd Avenue. And then finally, when that's over... I can
- 26:48Speaker 15: go home, watch the Yankees, and get some sleep.
- 26:51Speaker 1: How about that, Noah?
- 26:52Speaker 2: Yeah, and I think they'll finish him off after last night.
- 26:54Speaker 1: I think so, too.
- 26:55Speaker 15: Max Fried is on the mound today, and Boston just
- 26:58Speaker 15: seems totally outclassed. You know, buddy, Cam Schlittler, the pitcher
- 27:02Speaker 15: for the Yankees who was so great last night, he's
- 27:04Speaker 15: going to win the Cy Young this year.
- 27:06Speaker 1: He's the best pitcher in baseball. You know where he's from?
- 27:09Speaker 2: He's from Boston, right?
- 27:10Speaker 1: He's from Boston.
- 27:11Speaker 15: Ben Rice, who had two home runs last night, including
- 27:13Speaker 15: the Grand Slam. Best Yankee all season long. 41 home
- 27:17Speaker 15: runs this year. Knocked in, what, seven runs last night?
- 27:20Speaker 15: You know where Ben Rice is from?
- 27:22Speaker 2: Boston, too, right?
- 27:22Speaker 1: Boston.
- 27:23Speaker 15: So Schlittler and Rice, who just killed the Red Sox
- 27:28Speaker 15: last night, are both from Boston.
- 27:30Speaker 1: How cool is that?
- 27:31Speaker 2: So what was going on in that suite was with
- 27:34Speaker 2: Randy Levine. Is Randy Levine one of these guys? The
- 27:37Speaker 2: president of the Yankees, of course. Is he one of
- 27:39Speaker 2: these guys that's like jumping up and down, or.
- 27:41Speaker 1: Is he sort of more mellow? No, he's very enthusiastic.
- 27:44Speaker 15: You know, he maintains a little bit of cool, but
- 27:46Speaker 15: he'll fist pump. You know 100% that Randy Levine is
- 27:53Speaker 15: rooting for the Yanks.
- 27:54Speaker 1: And the rest of those guys, like I said, Chaz.
- 27:56Speaker 15: Palminteri, and you had Robert Waller, who will join me
- 28:01Speaker 15: later on today. Me, Justin, Danielle, Gabriel, Ray Negron, who's
- 28:06Speaker 15: worked with the Yankees for about a million years. And
- 28:09Speaker 15: then the very next suite over to the left, that's
- 28:12Speaker 15: where Brian Cashman, the Yankee GM, watches the games.
- 28:15Speaker 2: Now, I know the spread is always really good in
- 28:17Speaker 2: the suite there, but do they bump it up a
- 28:20Speaker 2: little bit for the playoff series? Was it even better
- 28:22Speaker 2: last night?
- 28:22Speaker 1: No, it looked the same, to be honest. It's a
- 28:24Speaker 1: very good spread.
- 28:25Speaker 15: They've got everything you want there, macaroni and cheese and
- 28:28Speaker 15: hot dogs and beautiful salads and candy, and they bring
- 28:32Speaker 15: in desserts. And it didn't look much different because, unlike
- 28:36Speaker 15: other stadiums, Yankee Stadium, any time you go, it's a
- 28:41Speaker 15: class act. They do a terrific job. So, to be honest,
- 28:45Speaker 15: I didn't notice anything. A big difference last night for
- 28:47Speaker 15: playoff baseball. But the truth is, it's great every night.
- 28:51Speaker 15: It's just, it's an amazing place. When you get off
- 28:53Speaker 15: the train, like we did yesterday, and you walk up
- 28:56Speaker 15: towards the entrance, and I've been a Met man my
- 28:59Speaker 15: whole life, it's not the same thing.
- 29:01Speaker 1: You know, you see a picture of.
- 29:03Speaker 15: Tom Seaver or Darryl Strawberry or Gary Carter, one of
- 29:08Speaker 15: those guys. All greats, don't get me wrong, but, you know,
- 29:11Speaker 15: you walk... Mets, the Mets downstairs, they don't even have
- 29:13Speaker 15: a Met Museum.
- 29:15Speaker 1: They've got a Brooklyn Dodger Museum.
- 29:17Speaker 15: You know, they spend more time honoring Jackie Robinson than
- 29:21Speaker 15: they do Tom Seaver. The Mets just don't make any sense.
- 29:24Speaker 15: Steve Cohen's a nice guy, but he's lost. The GM
- 29:27Speaker 15: David Stern's a nice guy, but he's lost. The Mets
- 29:29Speaker 15: stink on the field right now. The Yankees, they just
- 29:32Speaker 15: do it.
- 29:33Speaker 1: Right, man. You walk in there and.
- 29:34Speaker 15: They start playing videos last night noam and they you
- 29:38Speaker 15: know you got babe ruth joe dimaggio mickey mannell yogi
- 29:42Speaker 15: berra reggie jackson derrick jeter it goes on and on
- 29:48Speaker 15: i can't really say aaron judge because as great as
- 29:50Speaker 15: aaron has been he has not exactly been a clutch
- 29:53Speaker 15: postseason player in fact he's not been that at all
- 29:56Speaker 15: but The Yankees, 27 world championships, a rich history of
- 30:01Speaker 15: having guys that show up big in October. And you
- 30:05Speaker 15: feel it when you get to the Bronx. You don't
- 30:07Speaker 15: get that feeling when you go to Queens.
- 30:09Speaker 2: No, well, look, the Steinbrenner family, of course, navigating so
- 30:13Speaker 2: much of that. And then, of course, Randy Levine, of course,
- 30:14Speaker 2: the president of the Yankees. He gets a lot of
- 30:16Speaker 2: credit for the fact.
- 30:17Speaker 1: He does.
- 30:17Speaker 2: He does. That people want to be at that ballpark.
- 30:20Speaker 15: He does an amazing job. He's a great ambassador for
- 30:23Speaker 15: the city. Don't forget, Randy Levine also worked.
- 30:26Speaker 1: With Rudy Giuliani.
- 30:27Speaker 15: This guy's got political prowess in New York City. Now
- 30:31Speaker 15: he runs the Yankees like nobody else can. He's really
- 30:35Speaker 15: a wonderful guy.
- 30:35Speaker 1: He's become... I guess he's like my best friend at
- 30:38Speaker 1: this point, Norm.
- 30:40Speaker 2: We text you and call you all the time.
- 30:41Speaker 1: All the time. We talk every single day.
- 30:44Speaker 2: So Robert Wool was in the suite. Is there a
- 30:46Speaker 2: lot of people in the suite with you, or is
- 30:47Speaker 2: it just a few?
- 30:48Speaker 15: It was packed last night. Usually, you know, you have
- 30:51Speaker 15: like maybe 15 people. You know, you have probably about
- 30:55Speaker 15: 20 seats right outside the actual suite. And then you
- 31:00Speaker 15: have nice couches inside the suite. There were no seats
- 31:03Speaker 15: available last night. Lots of us stood for the whole game.
- 31:07Speaker 15: There was no seats. So it was absolutely packed.
- 31:11Speaker 1: It was packed. And the energy in that stadium was magnificent.
- 31:15Speaker 1: It was great. It was great. Even Mamdani's.
- 31:20Speaker 15: Lying anti-Semitism video did not ruin my Yankee experience last night.
- 31:26Speaker 1: He tried.
- 31:27Speaker 15: You know, by the way, you know that dirtbag from Michigan,
- 31:30Speaker 15: El Sayed? You know that guy?
- 31:32Speaker 1: You know he's coming to New York next week for
- 31:34Speaker 1: a fundraiser?
- 31:35Speaker 2: Not surprised to hear that.
- 31:36Speaker 1: You know who's going to be there helping him out?
- 31:39Speaker 2: Mayor Mamdani.
- 31:40Speaker 1: That's right. So how can Mayor Mamdani.
- 31:43Speaker 15: do a video on combating anti-Semitism, and yet his best
- 31:48Speaker 15: buddies are Hassan Piker, El-Sayed, the biggest Jew-hating scumbags in
- 31:54Speaker 15: the country, in the world today.
- 31:56Speaker 1: How could he possibly do that?
- 31:58Speaker 15: But even worse, how could any person with a hamper
- 32:02Speaker 15: brain actually buy it? I know why he's doing it.
- 32:05Speaker 15: He's doing it because he wants to come off as
- 32:07Speaker 15: a good guy and he wants everybody to love him.
- 32:10Speaker 1: Forget about that. How does any... decent minded person fall
- 32:15Speaker 1: for that. Can you tell me that?
- 32:16Speaker 2: No, I don't know how, especially when you think the
- 32:19Speaker 2: fact that he's only been in office for nine months.
- 32:22Speaker 2: So we know his history. Well, it's not like this
- 32:24Speaker 2: happened four years ago and we've forgotten about what's taking place.
- 32:27Speaker 2: This is how it happened in the last nine months.
- 32:29Speaker 1: Nine months. Nine months of hell.
- 32:31Speaker 15: Could you imagine we have another three years and three
- 32:35Speaker 15: months of this guy?
- 32:35Speaker 16: Yeah.
- 32:36Speaker 15: And then you got our awful governor, Kathy Hochul. If
- 32:39Speaker 15: God is good to us, Bruce Blakeman will beat her.
- 32:42Speaker 15: And I'm in New Jersey. They got a terrible governor, too.
- 32:45Speaker 15: This Mikey Muhammad Sherrill.
- 32:47Speaker 1: She's awful. She's terrible.
- 32:50Speaker 15: I'll tell you one thing. Going to this place today,
- 32:52Speaker 15: I saw a lot of signs. I know the guy's
- 32:54Speaker 15: a Democrat, and I hate Democrats, but I happen to
- 32:57Speaker 15: like this guy a little bit, Josh Gottheimer, who happens
- 33:00Speaker 15: to be very, very close with Mike Lawler.
- 33:03Speaker 1: He's running for Congress here in New Jersey.
- 33:06Speaker 15: He's a pretty moderate Democrat, obviously a very big pro-Israel guy.
- 33:11Speaker 1: I kind of like him. You like him, though?
- 33:12Speaker 2: Yeah, what's not to like about Josh Gottheimer?
- 33:14Speaker 1: Yeah, there's a lot of signs around here about Josh Gottheimer.
- 33:17Speaker 2: He was one of the people that pushed across the
- 33:19Speaker 2: AM radio bill.
- 33:20Speaker 1: He was instrumental in that.
- 33:21Speaker 15: And he also co-sponsored legislation along with Mike Lawler for
- 33:26Speaker 15: me and Danielle.
- 33:27Speaker 1: You ready for this? For dyspraxia awareness.
- 33:30Speaker 2: That's right. I forgot about that.
- 33:31Speaker 1: Yes, he did.
- 33:32Speaker 15: Josh Gottheimer and helped draw up that bill, which Daniel
- 33:35Speaker 15: and I are very happy about waiting for Congress to
- 33:37Speaker 15: actually get it ratified. But nevertheless, nice job out of
- 33:41Speaker 15: Josh Gottheimer and Again, you can see his signs all
- 33:44Speaker 15: over the roads here as he's running in November here
- 33:47Speaker 15: in New Jersey as well.
- 33:49Speaker 1: All right, so we got the Yankees. We got the
- 33:51Speaker 1: creepy mayor. What else? Oh, this other story you mentioned
- 33:54Speaker 1: just now. So it turns out that flight.
- 33:58Speaker 15: Where they thought maybe it was hijacked and a bunch
- 34:00Speaker 15: of terrorists. You pointed it out. The pilot and the
- 34:04Speaker 15: co-pilot got in a fistfight. I think somebody may have
- 34:07Speaker 15: gotten stabbed. They did land the plane safely in Saudi Arabia,
- 34:11Speaker 15: but there was no terrorist attack.
- 34:14Speaker 1: The pilots actually ended up fighting. You saw that?
- 34:17Speaker 2: Yeah, this is, we don't have all the details just yet,
- 34:19Speaker 2: but it was a flight that was going from Dubai
- 34:21Speaker 2: to Tel Aviv. This was overnight this morning. And somewhere
- 34:25Speaker 2: during the flight, the pilot, Authorities got a signal that
- 34:27Speaker 2: something was going on on the flight, so they put
- 34:30Speaker 2: fighter jets into the air to see what was going on.
- 34:32Speaker 2: They thought maybe the flight was being hijacked.
- 34:34Speaker 9: No.
- 34:35Speaker 2: What had happened was the two pilot and the co-pilot
- 34:38Speaker 2: got into some sort of fight. There may have been
- 34:40Speaker 2: a knife involved. In fact, we're seeing video right now
- 34:44Speaker 2: of some passengers that look like they're bloodied. Now, it's
- 34:47Speaker 2: not clear what happened was the crew told the people
- 34:52Speaker 2: on the plane that they needed help. And so some
- 34:54Speaker 2: of the people on this flight tackled either it was
- 34:57Speaker 2: the pilots. It's not all 100% clear yet. But the
- 35:00Speaker 2: good news is the flight did land safely in Saudi Arabia.
- 35:04Speaker 2: And it seems like everybody's okay, but we're still trying
- 35:06Speaker 2: to sort out all the details.
- 35:07Speaker 15: I think Netanyahu even shut down the airport, right?
- 35:13Speaker 2: That's possible. Don't know.
- 35:14Speaker 1: I think he did. And I think it reopened just
- 35:17Speaker 1: a little while ago.
- 35:18Speaker 15: So, yes, there was some real fear that there was
- 35:20Speaker 15: something very terrible happening in the skies. And as it
- 35:24Speaker 15: turned out, these two morons, the pilot and the co-pilot,
- 35:27Speaker 15: got into a fight and the plane did land safely
- 35:30Speaker 15: in Saudi Arabia. Big day yesterday for my guy, President Trump.
- 35:34Speaker 15: Big meeting with all those geniuses, AI meeting in Washington, D.C.
- 35:39Speaker 1: How did that turn out?
- 35:40Speaker 2: Well, we don't really actually have a lot of details
- 35:42Speaker 2: on what they talked about or if they even agreed
- 35:45Speaker 2: to anything. I mean, when the president was asked about
- 35:47Speaker 2: it afterwards, he said there wasn't anything, you know, in
- 35:50Speaker 2: cement because, you know, some of the CEOs who were
- 35:54Speaker 2: meeting with the president say they want guardrails on AI,
- 35:58Speaker 2: on artificial intelligence. And the president's not necessarily ready to
- 36:01Speaker 2: do that. He wants us to lead the race in this.
- 36:04Speaker 2: And so I think it was a good start that
- 36:07Speaker 2: they actually all met with the president and tried to
- 36:09Speaker 2: figure this all out. But you definitely had some people
- 36:12Speaker 2: who were walking away from this meeting saying, no, they
- 36:14Speaker 2: wanted more from the president. Now, at the end of
- 36:17Speaker 2: the meeting, he did say that he had renamed artificial
- 36:20Speaker 2: intelligence superintelligence and that these AI execs had signed off
- 36:25Speaker 2: on this during this CEO summit yesterday. But past that,
- 36:29Speaker 2: we don't know a whole lot more about what took place.
- 36:31Speaker 15: All right, Randy Masto will join me later on this morning.
- 36:34Speaker 15: A win for the city, a loss for Mamdani. What
- 36:38Speaker 15: a way to start the morning, that ridiculous Pierre de
- 36:40Speaker 15: Terre tax, that second home tax, where they want to
- 36:43Speaker 15: punish people for being successful in New York. If, God forbid,
- 36:46Speaker 15: you're successful, God forbid, and you can afford a second home,
- 36:50Speaker 15: it's up to you to pay for everybody else.
- 36:52Speaker 1: I mean, I never heard of such a thing.
- 36:54Speaker 15: Anyway, the rollout was deemed, at least this time around, wrong.
- 36:59Speaker 1: And it looks like the mayor has to do it
- 37:01Speaker 1: all over again. Isn't that the truth?
- 37:03Speaker 2: Yeah, but the only problem is this tax doesn't go
- 37:05Speaker 2: away because it's law. It was passed up in Albany.
- 37:08Speaker 1: Right.
- 37:09Speaker 15: I think Marsha Kramer said this morning you're still going
- 37:11Speaker 15: to see that bill come January.
- 37:13Speaker 17: 1st, right?
- 37:13Speaker 2: Well, the question is can they get the bill done
- 37:16Speaker 2: by November is when they send out the tax bills.
- 37:19Speaker 2: And so whether they'll be able to reorganize this and
- 37:21Speaker 2: get it right before November, that part's not clear. But
- 37:24Speaker 2: the tax is going to be back. This pied-a-terre tax
- 37:26Speaker 2: is not going anywhere. The issue was they had sent
- 37:29Speaker 2: these notices to thousands of New Yorkers, many. or not many,
- 37:33Speaker 2: but some, who did not deserve to get this paperwork.
- 37:36Speaker 5: No, many.
- 37:36Speaker 1: Many.
- 37:37Speaker 15: They sent it out to 17,000, and according to Mastro,
- 37:39Speaker 15: maybe as many as eight. That's almost half of the 17,000.
- 37:44Speaker 1: Yeah. Never should have gotten those letters.
- 37:46Speaker 2: And they put the onus on the property owners to prove,
- 37:50Speaker 2: as opposed to the city saying, no, we have factual
- 37:52Speaker 2: evidence to suggest this is a second home. They put
- 37:55Speaker 2: the onus on the homeowners to do that. And so
- 37:59Speaker 2: the judge, this judge on Staten Island yesterday said, wait
- 38:01Speaker 2: a minute, let's figure this all out. Hit the pause button.
- 38:03Speaker 2: So what it looks like is the city will have
- 38:05Speaker 2: to start all over again, though they have filed this.
- 38:08Speaker 2: They're going to fight this case through an appeal process,
- 38:11Speaker 2: at least this judge's decision. So we'll have to see
- 38:13Speaker 2: how that plays out.
- 38:14Speaker 1: So do you remember when I was in Israel? to
- 38:17Speaker 1: commemorate the two-year anniversary of October 7th. And I did
- 38:22Speaker 1: the show live that day from Stadelt. You remember that?
- 38:25Speaker 1: Of course.
- 38:26Speaker 15: So do you remember that right before we were coming
- 38:28Speaker 15: on the air? The sirens went off. There were bombs
- 38:33Speaker 15: up above us at the radio station in Israel. And
- 38:36Speaker 15: this young girl named Gatit Botero, who happens to live
- 38:40Speaker 15: in state-owned Israel, grabbed me and shoved me into the
- 38:43Speaker 15: bomb shelter and said, Sid, don't move. She called me Sid. Sid,
- 38:48Speaker 15: don't move.
- 38:48Speaker 1: You remember all that?
- 38:49Speaker 2: I remember it very well, yeah.
- 38:50Speaker 1: Well, she just sent me a WhatsApp message.
- 38:53Speaker 15: And here's what Gatit Botero, who's in Israel, had to
- 38:57Speaker 15: say about that airline. She said a pilot allegedly tried
- 39:01Speaker 15: to kill the co-pilot and crashed the plane into Israel.
- 39:07Speaker 15: This was a terror attack intended for the whole world
- 39:11Speaker 15: to witness. What happened next was nothing short of a miracle.
- 39:15Speaker 15: The truth must be seen. She sent me something on Facebook.
- 39:19Speaker 15: So it turns out it may not be as innocent
- 39:23Speaker 15: as the pilot and co-pilot got into a fight. It
- 39:25Speaker 15: looks like the pilot wanted to take out the co-pilot and.
- 39:30Speaker 1: Crash the plane into Israel.
- 39:32Speaker 2: Now, that may be true. So far, the Israeli authorities
- 39:34Speaker 2: are not saying that. But maybe she has information that
- 39:36Speaker 2: we don't have.
- 39:37Speaker 1: She usually does.
- 39:38Speaker 15: Remember, I keep posting all these videos over the summer
- 39:41Speaker 15: when these buildings were getting bombed in Tel Aviv.
- 39:44Speaker 1: You remember?
- 39:44Speaker 15: I had those videos before Trey Yinks at Fox News.
- 39:48Speaker 15: She was the one sending me the videos. She's on
- 39:51Speaker 15: the ground. She knows a lot. So this may have
- 39:54Speaker 15: very well been a thwarted terrorist attack in Israel this morning.
- 40:00Speaker 15: I guarantee you she's going to be right. We'll find
- 40:02Speaker 15: out more throughout the day. What else is going on
- 40:04Speaker 15: back there, Nomi?
- 40:05Speaker 2: We have more information on this horrible story, the subway
- 40:08Speaker 2: dragging that took place Monday night. This 57-year-old.
- 40:10Speaker 1: I saw the video. It's weird.
- 40:12Speaker 2: Yeah, his bag caught in the doors of an A
- 40:15Speaker 2: train that was at the Utica station in Bed-Stuy. And
- 40:21Speaker 2: the train started to go. And so he got pulled
- 40:24Speaker 2: all the way until he hit the platform wall at
- 40:27Speaker 2: the end of the platform. And he was killed. His
- 40:30Speaker 2: body rolled out onto the subway tracks. And now you
- 40:33Speaker 2: have all these eyewitnesses who say, wait a minute, why
- 40:37Speaker 2: didn't the train stop? They said, I could see that
- 40:39Speaker 2: this man's bag was stuck in the door. How come
- 40:42Speaker 2: the conductor, you know, the one who leans out the
- 40:44Speaker 2: window to make sure everything is okay, didn't see it
- 40:46Speaker 2: as well? And so now what the conductor has told
- 40:50Speaker 2: the train or told the MTA is, that he did
- 40:52Speaker 2: not see anybody being dragged. Now, some eyewitnesses say they
- 40:55Speaker 2: find that hard to believe. So he's been removed from
- 40:57Speaker 2: duty as they look at this investigation, try to figure
- 41:01Speaker 2: out exactly what took place. But, of course, the tragic
- 41:04Speaker 2: part is this 57-year-old. is dead. Yao Ban is his name.
- 41:08Speaker 2: Don't know a whole lot more about him, but there
- 41:10Speaker 2: were a lot of eyewitnesses to his dragging.
- 41:12Speaker 1: Wow. What else?
- 41:14Speaker 2: Did you see this story about P. Diddy, that he's
- 41:17Speaker 2: living life behind bars? I mean, it's really incredible. Inside
- 41:21Speaker 2: the walls of the Fort Dix Federal Prison, that's in
- 41:24Speaker 2: New Jersey, that's where he is serving out his sentence
- 41:27Speaker 2: for this prostitution-related offenses that he was found guilty of.
- 41:31Speaker 2: The 56-year-old is living like they do in the mob
- 41:34Speaker 2: movies that we've seen over the years, the way people
- 41:37Speaker 2: serve steak behind bars. He apparently is living that life.
- 41:40Speaker 2: NBC News reports that there are men who cook for
- 41:44Speaker 2: Sean Diddy Combs. There are men who clean for him.
- 41:47Speaker 2: There are men who make his bed every day. There
- 41:49Speaker 2: are men who do his laundry. There's even a guy
- 41:51Speaker 2: who's been giving him Chinese-style massages.
- 41:56Speaker 8: Right?
- 41:56Speaker 2: This is all while he's behind bars. And NBC got
- 42:00Speaker 2: this story from four people who were in this prison,
- 42:02Speaker 2: who got out, who now have video and photos of P.
- 42:07Speaker 2: Diddy on a phone, which you can't have behind bars. Now,
- 42:10Speaker 2: he's not behind in a high-security prison, but either way,
- 42:13Speaker 2: you still can't have this phone. He's there serving a
- 42:16Speaker 2: 50-month sentence for the prostitution-related events, rather, prostitution-related offenses. I'll
- 42:24Speaker 2: speak English.
- 42:25Speaker 9: Yes.
- 42:25Speaker 2: The basic tasks that he has to do every day
- 42:28Speaker 2: are done by somebody else. And what these four people
- 42:30Speaker 2: who were behind bars say is tons of cash is
- 42:33Speaker 2: coming from the outside to pay these people for doing
- 42:36Speaker 2: those jobs. And, of course, they're not going to turn
- 42:39Speaker 2: down the cash. And so it seems that he is
- 42:42Speaker 2: living quite the life. He's whatever he wants to eat.
- 42:46Speaker 2: These people are able to get for him. He asked
- 42:48Speaker 2: for onion rings. He's asked for mac and cheese. All
- 42:50Speaker 2: that food's being delivered to him. as he sits behind
- 42:54Speaker 2: bars at the Fort Dix Federal Prison.
- 42:56Speaker 1: So it's still good to be P. Diddy, even though
- 42:58Speaker 1: he's in federal prison. You're right.
- 43:00Speaker 15: Like the scene out of Goodfellas, they're all making these
- 43:03Speaker 15: steaks and having fancy dinners.
- 43:05Speaker 1: Any word, though, on whether or not he gets conjugal visits?
- 43:08Speaker 2: Good question. They did not say that. The Bureau of
- 43:11Speaker 2: Prisons spokesperson there was asked to comment on the story.
- 43:15Speaker 2: and said that they would not comment on an inmate's
- 43:18Speaker 2: conditions due to privacy.
- 43:20Speaker 1: Sure, that's a yes.
- 43:21Speaker 2: But that means those guys are being paid off.
- 43:23Speaker 16: As well, maybe.
- 43:24Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, a big way, and a big way. One
- 43:26Speaker 1: more on Mamdani. So I guess it turns out that Sukkot,
- 43:30Speaker 1: he celebrated Sukkot. This is unbelievable.
- 43:32Speaker 15: Such a slap in the face, 20 decent Jew. He
- 43:36Speaker 15: celebrated Sukkot last night in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, Georgia. Devorah
- 43:41Speaker 15: Haberstam was there. Jakob Berman was there. I'm seeing the
- 43:44Speaker 15: video and the pictures here from my friend Moshe Sperm.
- 43:48Speaker 15: So once again, once again, the Jewish people inviting the
- 43:53Speaker 15: modern-day Hamas Nazi into their sukkot, into their sukkahs to
- 43:59Speaker 15: celebrate this holiday.
- 44:01Speaker 2: Now, is this the exact same community that has supported him?
- 44:04Speaker 2: Is this the Satmar community?
- 44:06Speaker 1: It's not the Satmar community. Not as far as I know.
- 44:09Speaker 1: I don't know.
- 44:10Speaker 15: I mean, every year this guy ends up in somebody's sukkah.
- 44:12Speaker 15: I just don't get it. You know, we say this
- 44:15Speaker 15: all the time. The worst people for the Jews are
- 44:21Speaker 15: the Jews. You know, you can talk all you want
- 44:23Speaker 15: about anti-Semites and you can talk about Hamas. You can
- 44:27Speaker 15: talk about all these people, even skinheads and Nazis. But
- 44:30Speaker 15: the biggest enemy to the Jews are the Jews themselves.
- 44:34Speaker 1: They really are. Not every Jew can be like me.
- 44:38Speaker 15: Okay, I tell the truth, and I want to fight
- 44:40Speaker 15: every anti-Semite and every bad guy out there. I would
- 44:44Speaker 15: love to turn the mayor upside down, and I know
- 44:46Speaker 15: I can physically do it. I know I can. I'd
- 44:49Speaker 15: love to do it, because he's a liar. He's a filthy,
- 44:52Speaker 15: Jew-hating liar. And what he did yesterday, his combat anti-Semitism video,
- 44:58Speaker 15: was nothing short, nothing short.
- 45:00Speaker 5: Of a fool.
- 45:02Speaker 15: Of a fool like April 1st, punking you on this
- 45:06Speaker 15: end of Sukkot holiday, less than a week after he
- 45:09Speaker 15: wanted to arrest the Prime Minister of Israel. So I
- 45:13Speaker 15: can't stand this guy. I wake up every day hating
- 45:16Speaker 15: this guy.
- 45:17Speaker 1: And today... It's exponential.
- 45:20Speaker 15: No, because when you go out there and put out
- 45:22Speaker 15: a video where you act like you care, that really
- 45:26Speaker 15: bothers me.
- 45:27Speaker 1: Just own it. Just own it, okay? A lot of
- 45:31Speaker 1: people will love you these days. I guarantee you. I'm
- 45:34Speaker 1: looking at ten people in the store right now. Probably
- 45:36Speaker 1: three of them love the mayor, love what he says.
- 45:39Speaker 1: They won't admit it because I'm a raving maniac. But
- 45:42Speaker 1: I guarantee you, wherever you go, the people are like, oh, Sid,
- 45:45Speaker 1: shut up. Mayor's a good guy. You're just a loudmouth Jew. Again,
- 45:48Speaker 1: they won't admit it. But I'm here to tell you
- 45:50Speaker 1: that was a complete clown show yesterday. That's all that was.
- 45:55Speaker 1: Anything else? We've got to wrap this up, Nomi.
- 45:56Speaker 2: What else have you got? I think you covered it all.
- 45:58Speaker 1: All right.
- 45:59Speaker 15: We've got a huge guest that's coming up today, once again,
- 46:01Speaker 15: live at Electronics Expo here in lovely Paramus, New Jersey.

- 46:31Speaker 15: big deal in essex county We'll also talk to Randy Mastro.
- 46:36Speaker 1: The city gets a win over the mayor.
- 46:38Speaker 15: Peter King, the great Bill O'Reilly, and the fantastic comedic
- 46:42Speaker 15: actor Arliss from HBO, Robert Woe.
- 46:46Speaker 1: All that and more.
- 46:48Speaker 3: Sid and friends in the morning on the Red Apple
- 46:52Speaker 3: Podcast Network.
- 46:54Speaker 1: You know what was pretty cool last night, too?
- 46:56Speaker 15: So the Yankee great who was part of those four
- 46:59Speaker 15: World Series Joe Torre teams, my friend Tino Martinez, who
- 47:04Speaker 15: came to the Yankees from the Mariners with Jeff Nelson,
- 47:07Speaker 15: who was on this show yesterday, Nelly, he threw out
- 47:10Speaker 15: the first pitch and Justin saw this. So I text
- 47:14Speaker 15: Tino as he's walking off the mound. Way to go, Tino.
- 47:18Speaker 15: And I swear to you, Lou, like a minute later,
- 47:21Speaker 15: know him too? Like a minute later, I get a
- 47:23Speaker 15: text from Tino Martinez. Thank you, Sid.
- 47:26Speaker 1: Wasn't that great? How great was that?
- 47:30Speaker 18: 15 seconds after he walks off the mound.
- 47:31Speaker 1: 15 seconds after he walks off the mound.
- 47:33Speaker 5: Right.
- 47:33Speaker 15: He's actually texting me back. I think you can probably
- 47:36Speaker 15: see him walking off the mound in the Bronx on
- 47:38Speaker 15: his phone. Tino Martinez was actually talking to me. So
- 47:41Speaker 15: one of the big things going on in New York
- 47:44Speaker 15: this week, too, is that asshole Jimmy Kimmel.
- 47:47Speaker 1: Is doing his show live. Yes, I said that word.
- 47:50Speaker 1: Somebody in the suite last night was like, did I
- 47:53Speaker 1: hear you call Cory Booker an asshole?
- 47:55Speaker 15: I said, yeah, that was me. That's why you listen
- 47:57Speaker 15: every day, because he is. Anyway, Jimmy Kimmel is an
- 48:00Speaker 15: even bigger one, if that's possible. So he's doing a
- 48:02Speaker 15: stupid show that gets no ratings live in Brooklyn this week.
- 48:06Speaker 15: He had the mayor on, Mamdani. That's all you need
- 48:08Speaker 15: to know on Monday. That was a nightmare. And he's
- 48:11Speaker 15: got McCartney on Friday. All these guys, Stephen Colbert, his
- 48:15Speaker 15: last show, Paul McCartney. Poor Paul McCartney. He's like 1,000
- 48:19Speaker 15: years old. I mean, the Beatles, they're basically all dead
- 48:21Speaker 15: except for Ringo Starr. This guy's still singing, you know,
- 48:26Speaker 15: I don't know, Let It Be on all these shows.
- 48:28Speaker 15: He's going to be on Friday. But last night, Jimmy
- 48:32Speaker 15: Kimmel had his best friend on. His best friend happens
- 48:35Speaker 15: to be the greatest rapper Radio voice of all time.
- 48:39Speaker 1: And I admit that. And I think I'm the best.
- 48:41Speaker 1: I'm the best now by a mile. No one even close.
- 48:43Speaker 15: But I'm not arrogant enough to say I'm the best ever.
- 48:47Speaker 15: Howard Stern is the best ever. And I worked with
- 48:50Speaker 15: Don Imus on and off for 18 years. He was great, too.
- 48:53Speaker 15: But Stern is the best ever. But the last couple
- 48:56Speaker 15: of years. He basically goes to work with a gun
- 49:00Speaker 15: and a mask. He is robbing money from these people
- 49:04Speaker 15: at Sirius XM. His show sucks. He's not funny anymore.
- 49:08Speaker 1: He's stupid. Robin and him have no idea what's going
- 49:11Speaker 1: on with politics. He's a backstabber. He used to say
- 49:15Speaker 1: time and time again, the best guest on my show,
- 49:18Speaker 1: which was number one forever, Don Trump. Trump becomes president.
- 49:22Speaker 1: Now Howard Stern, like everybody else, hates his guts. So
- 49:26Speaker 1: he's a coward and a pussy on top of a
- 49:28Speaker 1: washed up radio guy. But he was on with Jimmy
- 49:31Speaker 1: Kimmel last night. And if you want to hear some
- 49:34Speaker 1: really awful television for the next three minutes, I'll play
- 49:37Speaker 1: it for you. Here it is. Howard Stern and Jimmy
- 49:41Speaker 1: Kimmel last night. Lewis, this is cut number 11.
- 49:44Speaker 19: When we went on vacation, for example, there was a
- 49:47Speaker 19: lot of pressure on me. My wife said to me, listen,
- 49:50Speaker 19: when you're with Jimmy and Molly, by the way, my
- 49:52Speaker 19: wife loves going away with Jimmy and Molly. I'll tell
- 49:54Speaker 19: you something. You were asking about my anniversary. So again,
- 49:58Speaker 19: I want to be fun. I want to be a
- 50:00Speaker 19: good husband.
- 50:01Speaker 16: Yes.
- 50:01Speaker 19: So I, I, I said to my wife the other day,
- 50:03Speaker 19: I would like to take you away to Vermont. We
- 50:07Speaker 19: have a place in Vermont we'd like to go. I
- 50:09Speaker 19: would love to take you there. She goes, I don't
- 50:11Speaker 19: think Jimmy and Molly like Vermont. I said, wait a second.
- 50:16Speaker 19: I said, no, you don't understand. I was thinking of
- 50:19Speaker 19: taking you to Vermont alone. She goes, I think we
- 50:24Speaker 19: need Jimmy and Molly. And I can't even tell you
- 50:28Speaker 19: how insulted I am by that. Like, I'm really not
- 50:32Speaker 19: a fun guy, but you enjoyed me.
- 50:34Speaker 20: Yeah, we had a lot of fun. I felt like
- 50:36Speaker 20: you had fun. Did you not have fun when we
- 50:37Speaker 20: went to Italy? You had never been... You'd been to
- 50:40Speaker 20: Europe one time in your entire life, and it was
- 50:43Speaker 20: for work. You went to London, like, 35 years ago.
- 50:46Speaker 19: Yeah, I never could understand how people enjoy traveling. So
- 50:49Speaker 19: what I did was... I just don't get it. I mean,
- 50:52Speaker 19: I see all that stuff on TV, don't you? I mean,
- 50:55Speaker 19: it's like... You know, I mean, I've seen Italy on TV.
- 50:58Speaker 19: I watched the movie The Godfather.
- 51:00Speaker 1: It was fantastic.
- 51:02Speaker 5: I feel like I've been there.
- 51:03Speaker 19: And even when we were there, I was like, and
- 51:05Speaker 19: I'm seeing, you know, the David, Michelangelo's David.
- 51:08Speaker 5: And I went, I've seen this on my friend's wall,
- 51:10Speaker 5: you know.
- 51:12Speaker 19: It's so crazy that people get joy from this. But
- 51:15Speaker 19: what I did is I watched you and I watched
- 51:18Speaker 19: Molly and I imitated joy.
- 51:20Speaker 8: Oh.
- 51:22Speaker 19: And my wife said I was delightful and it was
- 51:24Speaker 19: great and that was really good.
- 51:26Speaker 20: So you were, when it seemed like you were having fun,
- 51:28Speaker 20: you were just mirroring our fun?
- 51:31Speaker 19: Yes, I was mirroring it. I'm being honest. It's just
- 51:34Speaker 19: a weird thing.
- 51:35Speaker 5: I just don't know how to have fun.
- 51:36Speaker 17: Are you sure you're from Earth?
- 51:38Speaker 19: You want to know something? This will interest you. You'll
- 51:41Speaker 19: like this. So we're getting ready to come here today.
- 51:44Speaker 19: And I'm miserable, as you can imagine, as you saw
- 51:46Speaker 19: in that clip. And I said, oh, if anybody else
- 51:49Speaker 19: asked me to do a TV show, I'm pretty sure
- 51:51Speaker 19: this is my last TV appearance on any talk show.
- 51:55Speaker 19: I've done these talk shows for a long time and
- 51:57Speaker 19: only because we're such close friends, I would come here
- 52:00Speaker 19: and be with you and I love you so much.
- 52:02Speaker 19: But my wife says to me, you know, we're going
- 52:06Speaker 19: and you gotta have a good attitude and all this stuff.
- 52:08Speaker 19: And I said, you know, they do say that people
- 52:11Speaker 19: who are funny are really messed up people. That in
- 52:14Speaker 19: order to be funny, you've gotta be a deeply disturbed person.
- 52:17Speaker 19: She goes, well, I don't think that's true. She goes,
- 52:19Speaker 19: nothing's wrong with Jimmy. Jimmy's fine. So now I'm in
- 52:25Speaker 19: an argument. I said, you think Jimmy's fine?
- 52:29Speaker 5: Because I'm insulted.
- 52:30Speaker 19: I go, Jimmy's more screwed up than I am. She goes,
- 52:34Speaker 19: what are you talking about? The guy gets high every
- 52:36Speaker 19: single minute. You can't go a night without getting high.
- 52:42Speaker 5: He's not fine.
- 52:43Speaker 17: Am I right?
- 52:44Speaker 5: There's something wrong with you.
- 52:46Speaker 17: No, not every night.
- 52:47Speaker 1: From what.
- 52:51Speaker 5: I've seen.
- 52:54Speaker 17: That's vacation me you're thinking of.
- 52:56Speaker 1: Oh, yes, that's right.
- 52:57Speaker 5: Work you is so different. You take it so seriously.
- 53:01Speaker 15: I got to tell you, that was actually pretty good.
- 53:02Speaker 15: That was Howard Stern. He's usually not very entertaining on television.
- 53:07Speaker 15: That was cute. You could tell they got a nice rapport.
- 53:09Speaker 15: They got a good relationship, so... I thought that was
- 53:12Speaker 15: pretty good. What about you, Lou?
- 53:13Speaker 17: It was all right.
- 53:14Speaker 1: It just seemed to go on and on and on.
- 53:16Speaker 15: Well, it did go on for a long time. That
- 53:18Speaker 15: cut was three and a half minutes, but they were
- 53:21Speaker 15: pretty good. Howard Stern and Jimmy Kimmel. And, again, Kimmel
- 53:25Speaker 15: will have McCartney on Friday night. You had Mamdani two
- 53:29Speaker 15: nights ago. I don't know who else that's famous is
- 53:32Speaker 15: stopping by, but I do know one very, very famous
- 53:36Speaker 15: guy from Brooklyn. Happens to be in Paramus, New Jersey
- 53:39Speaker 15: this morning, but very, very famous guy from Brooklyn. I
- 53:44Speaker 15: have not yet received my invitation from Jimmy Kimmel.
- 53:48Speaker 17: Oh, well.
- 53:48Speaker 1: We'll take a short break. When we get back, he
- 53:50Speaker 1: happens to be the editor of one of the great
- 53:53Speaker 1: publications in the country today. His stuff is often syndicated
- 53:57Speaker 1: in the New York Post.
- 53:59Speaker 9: Mr. Mr.
- 54:02Speaker 1: National Review.
- 54:04Speaker 3: Sid and friends in the morning on the Red Apple
- 54:07Speaker 3: Podcast Network.
- 54:10Speaker 15: It's a great place, Route 17 South in Paramus. I'll
- 54:13Speaker 15: be here until about 10.15 this morning. You can buy
- 54:16Speaker 15: yourself a brand-new home theater system, a gorgeous flat-screen television.
- 54:21Speaker 15: Really a tremendous selection here. Right here in Paramus, once again,
- 54:25Speaker 15: Route 17 South. The address is 197. I know Leon, too.
- 54:30Speaker 15: I didn't realize this from the Woodbridge Jewelry Exchange as well.
- 54:33Speaker 1: This guy's Mr. New Jersey. This guy's bigger in Jersey
- 54:37Speaker 1: than Springsteen. with Jimmy Gandolfini. So Leon, great job out
- 54:42Speaker 1: of you. It's nice to be here.
- 54:44Speaker 15: I was also told, known by Moshe Sperm, that the
- 54:48Speaker 15: mayor in that Sukkot yesterday, that was not the Satmar community,
- 54:53Speaker 15: that was the Lubavitch community. So now all these Jewish
- 54:57Speaker 15: communities are basically sleeping with the devil. Rich Lowry's my guy, editor,
- 55:03Speaker 15: National Review. I love him on this show every week.
- 55:06Speaker 15: And Rich, not to make you jealous, There I was
- 55:09Speaker 15: last night, Sweet 45, standing right next to Randy Levine
- 55:15Speaker 15: with Chaz Palminteri and his son Dante, also a great actor.
- 55:19Speaker 15: Robert Wohl, who will join me on this program today. Danielle, Gabriel,
- 55:24Speaker 15: about 30 of us right there in the Bronx watching
- 55:28Speaker 15: our Yankees dismantle the Boston Red Sox last night.
- 55:32Speaker 6: Awesome.
- 55:33Speaker 21: Good for you. Just talking to Alec. before it came on,
- 55:36Speaker 21: that Cam is so good, when he gives up a hit,
- 55:38Speaker 21: you're disappointed. Like, oh, my God, he's falling apart. How
- 55:41Speaker 21: could he give up a single?
- 55:42Speaker 15: It's true. He's so good. This guy pitched to a
- 55:46Speaker 15: sub-two ERA this year. He's going to win the Cy
- 55:49Speaker 15: Young Award, which if you folks don't know, was given
- 55:51Speaker 15: to the best pitcher in the American League. He's going
- 55:53Speaker 15: to win that award and starts off the playoffs by
- 55:56Speaker 15: shutting out Boston last night.
- 55:58Speaker 1: He is so good. And I told this to the
- 56:00Speaker 1: listeners earlier.
- 56:01Speaker 17: Yeah.
- 56:02Speaker 21: Best rookie season since Ron Guidry.
- 56:03Speaker 17: Yes.
- 56:04Speaker 1: Since Guidry.
- 56:05Speaker 15: And the irony is he was the best pitcher, not
- 56:08Speaker 15: just on the Yankees, but in baseball this year, he's
- 56:11Speaker 15: from Boston and the Yankees best offensive player, 41 home
- 56:15Speaker 15: runs this year, two home runs last night, Ben Rice.
- 56:18Speaker 1: He's from Boston.
- 56:19Speaker 17: Yep.
- 56:20Speaker 8: Absolutely.
- 56:20Speaker 21: The Massachusetts kids are there calling him on TV last night. It's,
- 56:23Speaker 21: it's great to see homegrown guys thriving too, you know, uh, and,
- 56:28Speaker 21: and Ben Rice just seems like such a good, happy kid. So, uh,
- 56:32Speaker 21: It was delightful. We'll see what tonight brings. I don't
- 56:34Speaker 21: want to go to game three with Cole starting, but
- 56:37Speaker 21: hopefully we can put him to bed tonight.
- 56:39Speaker 15: Everybody was saying that inside the suite yesterday. First of all,
- 56:41Speaker 15: Radon should be pitching, not Garrett Cole, who did get
- 56:44Speaker 15: a nice round of applause.
- 56:45Speaker 1: I'll tell you this.
- 56:46Speaker 15: I paid attention when they were introducing the Yankee players
- 56:50Speaker 15: before the start of the game. Do you know the
- 56:53Speaker 15: player that got the most applause?
- 56:57Speaker 21: The player that got the most applause?
- 56:59Speaker 1: Yeah, I was surprised.
- 57:02Speaker 21: It wasn't while Judge isn't on the roster.
- 57:05Speaker 1: No, they announced him, though.
- 57:07Speaker 8: Okay.
- 57:08Speaker 1: The guy that got the biggest reaction from the crowd,
- 57:11Speaker 1: Giancarlo Stanton.
- 57:14Speaker 2: Oh, yeah.
- 57:15Speaker 1: They went nuts.
- 57:16Speaker 21: I so want to see him hit.
- 57:19Speaker 20: I know.
- 57:20Speaker 15: When I got to the stadium about an hour before
- 57:23Speaker 15: I got to the stadium yesterday, he was in there
- 57:25Speaker 15: taking batting practice. He's on the playoff roster, so there's
- 57:29Speaker 15: a chance we will see him, but the crowd went nuts.
- 57:31Speaker 21: Yeah, I've warmed up to him. He's not homegrown, obviously.
- 57:36Speaker 21: It took a while, but then I realized he's so competitive.
- 57:38Speaker 21: You know, he's such a leader. And when he's hitting,
- 57:41Speaker 21: it's just so awesome. And it's so weird how he's declined, right?
- 57:43Speaker 21: Because usually your bat speed goes down when you're 35
- 57:47Speaker 21: or late 30s, and that's it. His bat speed's still
- 57:49Speaker 21: the highest in the league. He can't walk.
- 57:51Speaker 1: He can't walk. He can't.
- 57:53Speaker 15: But, you know, don't forget, I spent 11 years down
- 57:55Speaker 15: in Miami doing sports talk radio. So when he came
- 57:58Speaker 15: up as a kid and he went by the name
- 58:00Speaker 15: of Mike Stanton, not John Connell.
- 58:02Speaker 8: Oh, that's right.
- 58:03Speaker 1: He was Mike Stanton.
- 58:04Speaker 15: And the Marlins built that team around him offensively and
- 58:08Speaker 15: a young pitcher named Jose Fernandez. Jose Fernandez was killed
- 58:13Speaker 15: in a boating accident in Miami.
- 58:15Speaker 1: There was.
- 58:16Speaker 15: You know, there was talks that there was cocaine and
- 58:19Speaker 15: liquor involved, and Fernandez was a great pitcher, great, died
- 58:24Speaker 15: a very, very young man, and then Mike got traded
- 58:27Speaker 15: to the Yankees and went by his real name, Giancarlo.
- 58:31Speaker 15: But as a kid, the Yankees, the Marlins, I should say,
- 58:34Speaker 15: they wanted to get Manny Ramirez from Boston, and the
- 58:37Speaker 15: Red Sox said, only if you give us Mike Stanton,
- 58:40Speaker 15: and the Marlins said, no way.
- 58:41Speaker 21: Yeah, 59 homers the year before the Yankees got him.
- 58:44Speaker 1: That's right. He was a monster star down there in
- 58:46Speaker 1: Miami that big season, 59 homers.
- 58:48Speaker 21: If he were healthy his whole career, I don't know,
- 58:51Speaker 21: he'd have 700 homers.
- 58:52Speaker 1: Oh, my God, forget about it. He's an animal. He's
- 58:54Speaker 1: an animal.
- 58:55Speaker 15: So he's back on the roster. The Yankees will send
- 58:58Speaker 15: Max Freed to the mound tonight looking to move on
- 59:01Speaker 15: from Boston and take on the division champs, the team
- 59:04Speaker 15: with the most wins inside the American League. The Yankees 193,
- 59:07Speaker 15: Tampa Bay 198. Yankees win tonight. They'll take on the
- 59:11Speaker 15: Tampa Bay Rays for the right to get to the ALCS.
- 59:15Speaker 21: Sorry, I know you want to get on to other stuff,
- 59:17Speaker 21: but the fact that the playoff brackets aren't going to
- 59:19Speaker 21: be reseeded is crazy.
- 59:21Speaker 1: I don't like that either. I don't like it.
- 59:23Speaker 21: Yeah, if the White Sox beat the Astros, astros to
- 59:28Speaker 21: update they should the ratio play the astros it was
- 59:30Speaker 21: in the american league they.
- 59:31Speaker 15: Tried to steam That's right, and the White Sox already
- 59:34Speaker 15: beat Houston game one on the road yesterday, so that
- 59:37Speaker 15: may very well happen. The White Sox may move on,
- 59:40Speaker 15: lower seed than the Yankees, but the Yankees get stuck
- 59:43Speaker 15: with the best team inside the American League. That makes
- 59:45Speaker 15: no sense. All right, let me get to the big
- 59:47Speaker 15: meeting yesterday, the White House. President Trump said, these are
- 59:51Speaker 15: the smartest men, the smartest people on earth today talking
- 59:56Speaker 15: about the big AI summit. What did you take from that?
- 1:00:00Speaker 21: Yeah, I think his approach is exactly right on AI.
- 1:00:03Speaker 21: I think it needs to be full speed ahead. Now,
- 1:00:05Speaker 21: maybe you want to think about guardrails, and you want
- 1:00:08Speaker 21: to emphasize to these companies, if these things get loose
- 1:00:10Speaker 21: and start shutting down power plants, whatever it is, there's
- 1:00:13Speaker 21: going to be massive liability, and their companies are going
- 1:00:16Speaker 21: to end, and everyone's going to be poor. So that
- 1:00:18Speaker 21: would be a major incentive to make sure that they're
- 1:00:20Speaker 21: actually safe. But I just think the upside is so
- 1:00:24Speaker 21: potentially huge, and there's no way you're going to get
- 1:00:26Speaker 21: China to stop, even if they're their downsides. So you
- 1:00:29Speaker 21: just got to do it and make sure there's every
- 1:00:32Speaker 21: incentive to have appropriate guardrails. But this is one of
- 1:00:36Speaker 21: the things I think Trump is just It's like fracking
- 1:00:40Speaker 21: and oil and gas. He just has the right big idea.
- 1:00:44Speaker 21: Maybe he's wrong about some of the details or isn't
- 1:00:45Speaker 21: the best informed person on it, but the big idea
- 1:00:48Speaker 21: he's absolutely right on. You've got to do it.
- 1:00:50Speaker 15: You've got to do it. You don't want China to
- 1:00:52Speaker 15: beat us. It's always interesting now.
- 1:00:54Speaker 1: You think back to when Trump was running and how
- 1:00:57Speaker 1: integral Elon Musk became in that campaign run and then
- 1:01:01Speaker 1: started Doge.
- 1:01:02Speaker 15: Seems like a distant memory, but Doge. you know, exposing fraud,
- 1:01:06Speaker 15: getting billions and billions of dollars. And to see those
- 1:01:09Speaker 15: two guys standing together yesterday, I guess for some people,
- 1:01:13Speaker 15: brought back some pretty good memories.
- 1:01:15Speaker 21: Yeah, I think it was a shame, the split. The
- 1:01:16Speaker 21: split was kind of inevitable, but I'm so glad they
- 1:01:18Speaker 21: got back together. As we've talked about so many times,
- 1:01:21Speaker 21: Trump will forgive you, you know. Just say nice things
- 1:01:23Speaker 21: to him. He'll forget everything. So I'm glad that's been
- 1:01:26Speaker 21: the case. Here, because Elon Musk is one of the
- 1:01:29Speaker 21: most talented people on the planet, is an enormous national asset.
- 1:01:32Speaker 21: I mean, the guy on his own has launched like
- 1:01:35Speaker 21: five times more satellites than any country. It's unbelievable. It's
- 1:01:39Speaker 21: a testament to our system and how genius entrepreneurs can
- 1:01:43Speaker 21: forge huge transformative change. So all of the good.
- 1:01:47Speaker 15: So I'm talking to Robert Wall last night, and of course,
- 1:01:50Speaker 15: you remember Robert, he played the sports agent Arliss on HBO,
- 1:01:54Speaker 15: and he was on New Bomb Turk and Hollywood Nights,
- 1:01:57Speaker 15: but he's a brilliant baseball guy. I said earlier this morning, Rich,
- 1:02:00Speaker 15: if you put Bob Costas, Peter Gammons, Christopher Mad Dog Russo,
- 1:02:05Speaker 15: and Robert Wall in a room... The guy that knows
- 1:02:07Speaker 15: the most about baseball, Robert won't. He's a walking encyclopedia. But,
- 1:02:12Speaker 15: of course, anytime you see Sid Rosenberg, you've got to
- 1:02:15Speaker 15: bring up politics. So he asked me last night, now
- 1:02:18Speaker 15: we're 34 days out from the big midterm elections. He said,
- 1:02:22Speaker 15: do you think your party is going to get clobbered?
- 1:02:25Speaker 15: And I said, no. And he said, well, look, I'm
- 1:02:28Speaker 15: not into politics. I'm a sports guy. But you're wrong.
- 1:02:31Speaker 15: You're going to get clobbered. The Democrats are going to
- 1:02:34Speaker 15: wipe out the Republicans. And the more people I speak
- 1:02:37Speaker 15: to that are not really entrenched like me and a
- 1:02:41Speaker 15: MAGA Trump guy like me, the more people that tell
- 1:02:44Speaker 15: me the same thing.
- 1:02:45Speaker 1: Sid, get ready. In 34 days, you guys are going
- 1:02:49Speaker 1: to get clobbered. Is that right?
- 1:02:51Speaker 21: Well, it's not going to be a good night, that's
- 1:02:53Speaker 21: for sure. I think Republicans will almost certainly lose the House,
- 1:02:57Speaker 21: and the question is what happens in the Senate. Now,
- 1:02:59Speaker 21: when I talk to Republican pollsters and operatives, they almost
- 1:03:01Speaker 21: all say the polls are underestimating Republicans. Republicans aren't answering
- 1:03:07Speaker 21: the polls. Now, you can interpret that, well, they're so depressed,
- 1:03:10Speaker 21: they're not answering the polls, they're not going to show
- 1:03:11Speaker 21: up to vote. But you can also interpret it as
- 1:03:13Speaker 21: the polls are wrong. and a lot of Republican pollsters,
- 1:03:16Speaker 21: that's what they think. So I don't know. I tend
- 1:03:19Speaker 21: to think it's going to be quite bad, you know,
- 1:03:21Speaker 21: just based on Trump's approval rating at the moment, if
- 1:03:24Speaker 21: nothing else.
- 1:03:25Speaker 1: You know, this loser anti-Semite, anti-American El-Sayed, this guy from Michigan,
- 1:03:32Speaker 1: He's actually coming to New York for a fundraiser, I believe,
- 1:03:36Speaker 1: next week. And Mamdani, I'm sure, is excited. And Hassan Piker,
- 1:03:40Speaker 1: all those wonderful people, people who said America deserved 9-11.
- 1:03:45Speaker 1: And last I saw, he was beating Mike Rogers in Michigan.
- 1:03:48Speaker 1: Is he going to win that race?
- 1:03:50Speaker 21: If you're betting, yeah. I think he's winning by four
- 1:03:53Speaker 21: or five points in all the polls. An operative there said, well,
- 1:03:57Speaker 21: you know what? People just don't want to tell pollsters
- 1:03:59Speaker 21: they're going to vote against the Muslim guy. Maybe that's right,
- 1:04:01Speaker 21: but if I had to bet, I think he's going
- 1:04:03Speaker 21: to win. Unfortunately, that's going to be a hard pill
- 1:04:06Speaker 21: to swallow.
- 1:04:07Speaker 1: What a disaster.
- 1:04:08Speaker 15: And do you think that, you know, depending on poll
- 1:04:10Speaker 15: you see, Sienna has him down nine, Quinnipiac had him
- 1:04:14Speaker 15: down 19, but John McLaughlin, who I trust more than anybody,
- 1:04:19Speaker 15: had him down four, and I'm talking about Bruce Blakeman
- 1:04:22Speaker 15: in his gubernatorial run against that moron Kathy Hochul.
- 1:04:25Speaker 1: What do you see in that race?
- 1:04:27Speaker 21: Too hard a year. I think it's just too hard
- 1:04:29Speaker 21: a year.
- 1:04:31Speaker 1: Why do I even ask you these questions?
- 1:04:33Speaker 17: I just want to kill myself.
- 1:04:34Speaker 21: Do you have any good news for me? They could
- 1:04:38Speaker 21: hold the Senate. I think that holding the Senate would
- 1:04:40Speaker 21: be a victory.
- 1:04:42Speaker 15: Well, what race, what Senate race do you think... will
- 1:04:45Speaker 15: be the big one that will actually insure that the
- 1:04:50Speaker 15: republicans hold on to it what race well they're.
- 1:04:53Speaker 21: Looking forward to to you know everyone matters right they
- 1:04:55Speaker 21: they can lose four sets everyone matters that's not a
- 1:04:57Speaker 21: lot but if you can count holds on and that
- 1:05:00Speaker 21: the point there has been great but she was down
- 1:05:02Speaker 21: by eight you know six years ago and and one
- 1:05:04Speaker 21: going away from the major point of really wrong there
- 1:05:07Speaker 21: if she holds on then they they really have to
- 1:05:09Speaker 21: almost sweep the red states you know they gotta win
- 1:05:11Speaker 21: texas they gotta win iowa they gotta win ohio they
- 1:05:13Speaker 21: gotta win alaska that could happen but it's hard. If
- 1:05:17Speaker 21: she loses, then it gets much easier. And then you
- 1:05:19Speaker 21: look at Texas, where it's basically tied. I still kind
- 1:05:22Speaker 21: of think Paxton is going to hold on. If he does,
- 1:05:25Speaker 21: then you've got to win Kansas and Nebraska, where the
- 1:05:29Speaker 21: polling has been close, but still kind of hard to
- 1:05:30Speaker 21: believe that's going to happen. So those are the two
- 1:05:33Speaker 21: kind of swing races I'm looking at.
- 1:05:35Speaker 15: Yeah, it depends on the day. Paxton's winning one day.
- 1:05:38Speaker 15: Tallarico's winning the next in Texas. But, you know, since
- 1:05:41Speaker 15: Graham Plattner dropped out of the race, you'll be hard-pressed
- 1:05:45Speaker 15: to find anybody, even people that do what I do
- 1:05:47Speaker 15: for a living, that can tell you who's running against
- 1:05:51Speaker 15: Susan Collins and me.
- 1:05:52Speaker 9: Yeah.
- 1:05:52Speaker 21: Yeah, that's actually hurt her. I mean, it's better to
- 1:05:56Speaker 21: run against the malicious sociopath the way she was with
- 1:05:59Speaker 21: Platinum rather than this non-entity named Jackson. His name is Jackson. But,
- 1:06:04Speaker 21: you know, you're like, that's the problem is you could
- 1:06:06Speaker 21: lose against a non-entity with that. a D next to
- 1:06:10Speaker 21: his name if it's a really bad night.
- 1:06:12Speaker 15: Deep a douchebag. I say that all the time. It
- 1:06:14Speaker 15: used to be deep a Democrat. Now it's deep a douchebag.
- 1:06:17Speaker 15: If you're a Democrat, you're a douchebag.
- 1:06:19Speaker 9: I'm sorry.
- 1:06:20Speaker 1: I do have to ask you about the Iran conflict.
- 1:06:23Speaker 1: If we do get our clocks cleaned come election day,
- 1:06:29Speaker 1: do you think it's mostly because of Iran?
- 1:06:32Speaker 15: Do you think it's a DSA message? If we do
- 1:06:35Speaker 15: get our clocks cleaned, why?
- 1:06:38Speaker 21: I think Iran will have a big role to play
- 1:06:41Speaker 21: because I think the ultimate issue, the big issue dragging
- 1:06:43Speaker 21: Trump down is prices. So one, all the Biden inflation,
- 1:06:48Speaker 21: that elevated prices is still there, right? When inflation rate
- 1:06:51Speaker 21: goes down, it doesn't mean prices go down. So the
- 1:06:54Speaker 21: Biden higher prices are still there. The tariffs at the
- 1:06:57Speaker 21: margins have increased prices for things. And then just the
- 1:07:00Speaker 21: gas and diesel prices are killer. And I talked about
- 1:07:03Speaker 21: how they'd have to sweep the red states and do
- 1:07:05Speaker 21: really well in these rural red states. If they do,
- 1:07:07Speaker 21: it's going to be the price of diesel and fertilizer.
- 1:07:09Speaker 21: And that's all the Iran war. Now, the Iran war
- 1:07:12Speaker 21: is going better. I mean, we basically opened up the
- 1:07:14Speaker 21: Strait of Hormuz. That eliminates their chief point of leverage
- 1:07:17Speaker 21: and I think really increases the odds of getting a
- 1:07:20Speaker 21: favorable outcome here. I'm more optimistic than I have been.
- 1:07:24Speaker 21: about it for a long time. We've talked about us
- 1:07:25Speaker 21: being stuck. We both use that word. I think we're
- 1:07:28Speaker 21: coming unstuck in a good way, but that doesn't mean
- 1:07:30Speaker 21: it's going to work out politically in November.
- 1:07:32Speaker 15: Yeah, I think you're right. Rich is always amazing, amazing appearance.
- 1:07:36Speaker 15: Let's go, Yankees. I know you'll be watching very, very closely.
- 1:07:38Speaker 15: Thank you, Rich. Great job. Rich Lowry right there, the
- 1:07:42Speaker 15: editor of the National Review. And while he made the
- 1:07:44Speaker 15: point that prices are not going down with inflation and
- 1:07:48Speaker 15: all the economic issues, here at Electronics Expo this morning,
- 1:07:53Speaker 15: Leon is making sure the prices are going down. So
- 1:07:56Speaker 15: come on in and take a look at these beautiful
- 1:07:58Speaker 15: flat screen TVs and home theater systems and all the
- 1:08:02Speaker 15: beautiful stuff they've got. I'm here, Sid Rosenberg, right here
- 1:08:05Speaker 15: on Route 17 in Paramus, New Jersey.
- 1:08:08Speaker 1: I know it's early.
- 1:08:10Speaker 15: Most of you people are still sleeping on your way
- 1:08:11Speaker 15: to work, but I'll be here until about 10, 15
- 1:08:14Speaker 15: this morning. Come on down, get yourself a great deal,
- 1:08:17Speaker 15: and say hello. The economy's not perfect yet, but it
- 1:08:20Speaker 15: is inside here. at Electronics Expo in New Jersey.
- 1:08:25Speaker 3: Sid and Friends in the Morning on the Red Apple
- 1:08:28Speaker 3: Podcast Network.
- 1:08:31Speaker 15: Tom was here. Tom's a terrific engineer, and Nino DiNino,
- 1:08:34Speaker 15: he's my new traveling partner. He went to Dallas with
- 1:08:36Speaker 15: me a couple of weeks ago for the big midterm convention,
- 1:08:39Speaker 15: and he's actually running this show live right now on Facebook.
- 1:08:43Speaker 15: If you go to WABC's Facebook page, you can see
- 1:08:46Speaker 15: my Tam, beautiful face, and my beautiful blue jacket that
- 1:08:51Speaker 15: I got from the garage. Anthony, my guy Anthony, and
- 1:08:54Speaker 15: he's doing a good job here. Nino, show live here
- 1:08:58Speaker 15: on Facebook. And don't forget, later on tonight... I mentioned
- 1:09:00Speaker 15: this earlier, I like this girl a lot. Her name
- 1:09:02Speaker 15: is Caroline Schinkel. She's running for that Congress seat that fat,
- 1:09:07Speaker 15: stupid Jerry Nadler.
- 1:09:09Speaker 1: Used to have.
- 1:09:10Speaker 15: He's not so fat anymore, you know, but he's still stupid.
- 1:09:13Speaker 15: And I really want Caroline to win. You know, I
- 1:09:15Speaker 15: get out there for a lot of Republican candidates and
- 1:09:17Speaker 15: I bring some people on the show. And I'll be honest,
- 1:09:20Speaker 15: they have no chance of winning. I mean, no chance.
- 1:09:23Speaker 1: Curtis turned out to be one of those guys. But
- 1:09:26Speaker 1: I'm loyal to the party.
- 1:09:28Speaker 15: And if you're a Republican running in New York or
- 1:09:30Speaker 15: New Jersey, maybe even Connecticut, I.
- 1:09:32Speaker 1: Try to help. I really believe this girl has a
- 1:09:34Speaker 1: chance to win. She's really smart. She's got an amazing
- 1:09:39Speaker 1: economic background, working for the banks in Europe, in.
- 1:09:43Speaker 15: Israel, all over the world. She really cares about the
- 1:09:46Speaker 15: Jewish people and Israel. She will be there for the
- 1:09:49Speaker 15: people on the Upper East Side of New York City.
- 1:09:53Speaker 15: So tonight I've got a big event I promised I
- 1:09:55Speaker 15: would host for her. I actually promised her mother. Carolyn's mother,
- 1:09:59Speaker 15: Caroline's mother, I should say. Her name is Carolyn. She's
- 1:10:03Speaker 15: a sweet lady, really sweet. And she came up to
- 1:10:06Speaker 15: me in New Jersey, ironically. I was there to see
- 1:10:11Speaker 15: President Trump, and I did see President Trump that night.
- 1:10:13Speaker 15: He called me out. That was the night when he
- 1:10:15Speaker 15: was actually endorsing the MyPillow guy who lost in Minnesota.
- 1:10:20Speaker 15: But I went to Bedminster. I met Carolyn Schenkel, Caroline's mom.
- 1:10:24Speaker 15: And she said, maybe one day you'll host an event
- 1:10:26Speaker 15: for us. And I said, you know what? I promise
- 1:10:29Speaker 15: I will. Well, it's tonight at Dorian's Red Hand Bar
- 1:10:33Speaker 15: in New York City, 1616 2nd Avenue. It all takes
- 1:10:37Speaker 15: place between 6 and 9 tonight. And she was on
- 1:10:41Speaker 15: this show just a couple of days ago, Caroline. And
- 1:10:43Speaker 15: we talked about tonight's big event, Louis. Let's play that.
- 1:10:47Speaker 15: This is me and Schenkel from Monday. Wednesday night, I
- 1:10:50Speaker 15: made mention of this last segment at Dorian's. See my
- 1:10:54Speaker 15: buddy Larry Roth out there. We'll do a big fundraiser
- 1:10:57Speaker 15: and party for Caroline Schenkel. Caroline's running for that District
- 1:11:01Speaker 15: 12 seat, which will be vacant now because fat, now
- 1:11:05Speaker 15: skinny and stupid Jerry Nath was calling it quits. So
- 1:11:08Speaker 15: with that said, making her second appearance on Sid and
- 1:11:11Speaker 15: Friends in the morning, my friend Caroline Schenkel.
- 1:11:14Speaker 1: Caroline, good morning.
- 1:11:15Speaker 17: How are you?
- 1:11:16Speaker 21: Good morning, Sid.
- 1:11:17Speaker 22: It's morning in Manhattan. Great to be with you.
- 1:11:20Speaker 15: So Wednesday night, Dorians, I'm going to host it because
- 1:11:22Speaker 15: I love you and your mother. And I really believe
- 1:11:25Speaker 15: that you will.
- 1:11:25Speaker 1: Be a huge asset, huge asset in Washington, D.C.
- 1:11:29Speaker 15: For New Yorkers. Any last message before we see them
- 1:11:33Speaker 15: in person coming up on Wednesday night?
- 1:11:35Speaker 22: Well, Sid, first of all, my mother and I, we
- 1:11:37Speaker 22: love you back. We can't wait to see you and
- 1:11:39Speaker 22: all the other New Yorkers there on Wednesday. And I
- 1:11:42Speaker 22: would like all of your listeners to know I'm running
- 1:11:45Speaker 22: as a Republican, but I'm running to be a candidate
- 1:11:47Speaker 22: for all of us here in New York 12. I'm
- 1:11:49Speaker 22: running to represent all of us as Americans. I'm pro USA.
- 1:11:53Speaker 22: I'm pro New York City. I'm pro capitalism. I'm pro
- 1:11:56Speaker 22: Western civilization. If you agree with any of those things,
- 1:11:59Speaker 22: then you are with me and you are on the team.
- 1:12:01Speaker 5: Join us.
- 1:12:03Speaker 15: Well, I agree with all those things, and we'll see
- 1:12:05Speaker 15: you in New York City later on tonight. First, I've
- 1:12:07Speaker 15: got to make my way back from New Jersey to
- 1:12:10Speaker 15: Queens and then back to the city later on tonight.
- 1:12:13Speaker 15: We'll take a short break. My friend Victoria Capish may
- 1:12:15Speaker 15: be aware of this. A couple of days ago, it's
- 1:12:17Speaker 15: a big, big deal. Religious exemption is alive and well
- 1:12:21Speaker 15: in the state of New Jersey, and I'm happy to
- 1:12:24Speaker 15: hear that. Attorney John Coyle has the latest on a
- 1:12:27Speaker 15: great story. involving a man named de Blasio, but it's
- 1:12:31Speaker 15: not Bill de Blasio.
- 1:12:32Speaker 1: Thank God.
- 1:12:33Speaker 15: We will talk to attorney John Coyle about religious exemption
- 1:12:37Speaker 15: right here in the state of New Jersey.
- 1:12:39Speaker 1: John is coming up next.
- 1:12:41Speaker 18: This is Sid and Friends in the Morning.
- 1:12:46Speaker 15: So let me get right to my friend. And what
- 1:12:48Speaker 15: can I say, Randy? Congratulations. You did an amazing job
- 1:12:52Speaker 15: on behalf of a lot of New Yorkers. I was
- 1:12:55Speaker 15: with comedic actor Robert Wall last night at the Yankee game.
- 1:12:59Speaker 15: He lives in L.A., but he's got a second house,
- 1:13:01Speaker 15: an apartment right here in New York City. And he
- 1:13:03Speaker 15: was thrilled. So on behalf of a lot of New Yorkers.
- 1:13:06Speaker 15: Thank you for your hard work in making sure we
- 1:13:09Speaker 15: got the win yesterday. I know you want to feel
- 1:13:11Speaker 15: like a million bucks.
- 1:13:13Speaker 8: Sid, I am just so happy for thousands of New
- 1:13:19Speaker 8: Yorkers who never should have been subjected to this botched
- 1:13:22Speaker 8: rollout by the Mondani administration. And this judge, Justice Ozzie,
- 1:13:27Speaker 8: right down the line, he gave it straight. It's a
- 1:13:31Speaker 8: compelling decision. They botched the rollout. They screwed up. They
- 1:13:36Speaker 8: scared thousands of people who should never have to pay
- 1:13:39Speaker 8: this tax. And now they're going to have to do
- 1:13:42Speaker 8: it over. So I'm just extremely gratified by the decision.
- 1:13:46Speaker 8: But more importantly, that thousands of New Yorkers can rest
- 1:13:51Speaker 8: easier because they know they were victimized and now they've
- 1:13:56Speaker 8: gotten justice.
- 1:13:58Speaker 1: They really were.
- 1:13:58Speaker 15: I mean, this mayor actually put the onus on homeowners
- 1:14:03Speaker 15: to prove they own the homes, which is just ass
- 1:14:06Speaker 15: backwards and ridiculous and really awful.
- 1:14:09Speaker 1: He's a terrible guy. I don't get it.
- 1:14:11Speaker 15: But I was talking to a gnome this morning, and
- 1:14:13Speaker 15: they sent it out to about 17,000 people.
- 1:14:16Speaker 17: Yes.
- 1:14:17Speaker 15: And I believe you told me last time that maybe
- 1:14:20Speaker 15: as many as 7,000 or 8,000 never should have gotten
- 1:14:24Speaker 15: it in the first place.
- 1:14:26Speaker 8: Well, the city has admitted it. They admitted when we
- 1:14:30Speaker 8: had the court hearing back in August 31st that about 7,000
- 1:14:36Speaker 8: of those 17,000 had already been told they shouldn't have
- 1:14:41Speaker 8: gotten that letter or had applied for exemptions, which... is
- 1:14:45Speaker 8: not something that is a process that exists under that
- 1:14:48Speaker 8: state statute. It's something the Mondani administration made up to
- 1:14:51Speaker 8: ensnare people. But when you apply, you had to prove
- 1:14:54Speaker 8: yourself with tax returns. You had to submit your own
- 1:14:58Speaker 8: tax returns to Zoran Mondani. Can you imagine that? This
- 1:15:01Speaker 8: is antipathy to wealth and private property ownership. You had
- 1:15:06Speaker 8: to submit your tax returns to this city hall. But
- 1:15:09Speaker 8: those people aren't going to owe the tax, and they
- 1:15:11Speaker 8: had already admitted that. That left $ 10, 000, and thousands more
- 1:15:16Speaker 8: of them probably won't owe the tax. But now the
- 1:15:18Speaker 8: city has to do it over because the city was
- 1:15:21Speaker 8: supposed to make that determination in the first instance. And, Sid,
- 1:15:24Speaker 8: I want to add one more thing. Thank you for
- 1:15:26Speaker 8: squeezing me in. I'm on the way to the airport.
- 1:15:28Speaker 17: I'm on the road.
- 1:15:29Speaker 8: I'm trying to get my way back to my beloved hometown. But, Sid,
- 1:15:35Speaker 8: we also brought suit yesterday to kill the pianotare tax altogether.
- 1:15:41Speaker 8: It's unconstitutional and illegal, so that's the next case. Nobody
- 1:15:46Speaker 8: should have to pay this tax.
- 1:15:47Speaker 15: No, I love this. Thank God you said that. I
- 1:15:48Speaker 15: feel like successful New Yorkers are being punished. I mean,
- 1:15:53Speaker 15: God forbid you actually work really, really hard and enjoy
- 1:15:57Speaker 15: some success.
- 1:15:58Speaker 1: That means I've got to fit the bill for everybody else?
- 1:16:01Speaker 1: That's crazy.
- 1:16:03Speaker 15: And now I kept hearing from Marsha Kramer last night
- 1:16:06Speaker 15: that even though, yes, Randy Mastro and the city won
- 1:16:09Speaker 15: this first round that come January 1st, the bill is
- 1:16:13Speaker 15: still out there. And I kept thinking to myself, well,
- 1:16:15Speaker 15: let's get rid of it. So I'm so happy that
- 1:16:18Speaker 15: you filed that lawsuit yesterday because it should go away.
- 1:16:22Speaker 8: Well, and let me just say this, Sid, it's not
- 1:16:25Speaker 8: just wealthy people. I don't represent in the case I
- 1:16:29Speaker 8: brought the billionaires. There's a second case related to, brought
- 1:16:35Speaker 8: by different lawyers representing a couple of billionaires. OK, billionaires
- 1:16:41Speaker 8: deserve justice, too. I'm representing people who just happen to have,
- 1:16:45Speaker 8: by circumstance, a second home in New York City or
- 1:16:51Speaker 8: who got ensnared by this tax because they bought or
- 1:16:54Speaker 8: sold on dates that where the tax retroactively applied means
- 1:17:01Speaker 8: they have to pay it. Because January 5th, last 2026,
- 1:17:05Speaker 8: is the effective date. Whoever owned it on the 26th.
- 1:17:08Speaker 8: If you bought it after that, you're going to end up,
- 1:17:11Speaker 8: your unit or your home, you're going to end up
- 1:17:13Speaker 8: owing the tax if the person who was in there
- 1:17:15Speaker 8: on January 6th, 5th, 2026, owed the tax. And here's
- 1:17:24Speaker 8: one that just drives me nuts, Sid. Somebody bought their
- 1:17:28Speaker 8: place from an estate. The only place an estate lives
- 1:17:33Speaker 8: is heaven. But because the estate owned the place on
- 1:17:37Speaker 8: January 5, 2026, sold to this new owner, a New
- 1:17:41Speaker 8: Yorker who pays New York City taxes... In February, that
- 1:17:45Speaker 8: person owes the surcharge for 2026. That is insane. Insane. Insane.
- 1:17:51Speaker 1: Yeah, insane.
- 1:17:52Speaker 15: So do you really feel, I know you don't get
- 1:17:54Speaker 15: into these things to lose. You're a winner, Randy Mastro.
- 1:17:57Speaker 1: You just are.
- 1:17:58Speaker 15: You're a winner, whether you're working for Giuliani or Eric Adams,
- 1:18:01Speaker 15: depending on the city. Do you really feel in your
- 1:18:04Speaker 15: heart of hearts, you've got a pretty good case to
- 1:18:07Speaker 15: make this whole thing go away?
- 1:18:09Speaker 8: Oh, I think we have a great case because the
- 1:18:13Speaker 8: core of the case, federal constitution, the founders, they embodied
- 1:18:18Speaker 8: in the constitution, you can't discriminate, a state can't discriminate
- 1:18:22Speaker 8: against citizens of another state. And the state can't burden
- 1:18:28Speaker 8: interstate commerce. Well, that's exactly what this tax was intended
- 1:18:32Speaker 8: to do. We don't have to guess. The intent and
- 1:18:34Speaker 8: effect of the tax is to go after out-of-staters who
- 1:18:39Speaker 8: have a second home in New York City. The governor
- 1:18:42Speaker 8: said it. State legislators said it. Mondani said it. They
- 1:18:45Speaker 8: all said it.
- 1:18:46Speaker 17: So we don't have to guess.
- 1:18:49Speaker 8: And that's illegal. under the federal constitution, something called the
- 1:18:52Speaker 8: Privileges and Immunities Clause and the Dormant Commerce Clause. And
- 1:18:55Speaker 8: more than that, you know, they actually tried to hide
- 1:19:00Speaker 8: under the state constitution that this is a tax. They
- 1:19:03Speaker 8: called it a surcharge, but a tax by any other
- 1:19:06Speaker 8: name would cost as much. This is a tax. And
- 1:19:10Speaker 8: as a tax, there's a cap under the state constitution.
- 1:19:14Speaker 8: on how much can be raised through real estate property taxes.
- 1:19:19Speaker 8: This legislation purported to exempt this tax from that cap.
- 1:19:24Speaker 8: That's illegal under the state constitution. So for all those reasons,
- 1:19:28Speaker 8: and the retroactive application to have the tax... apply as
- 1:19:34Speaker 8: of January 5th, even if the new owner is a
- 1:19:37Speaker 8: New York City taxpayer and lives in New York. I mean,
- 1:19:41Speaker 8: that is insane. So for all those reasons and more,
- 1:19:45Speaker 8: we should win several times over.
- 1:19:48Speaker 1: Love this. Two more quick ones. I know you got
- 1:19:49Speaker 1: to fly home. You're also representing the landlords in this
- 1:19:52Speaker 1: ridiculous frozen rent case. where people are claiming, hey, the
- 1:19:56Speaker 1: mayor kept his promise. He said he was going to
- 1:19:58Speaker 1: freeze rents and he did it. Now, correct me if
- 1:20:00Speaker 1: I'm wrong.
- 1:20:01Speaker 15: It's only a few apartments, only a few compared to
- 1:20:05Speaker 15: all the apartments in New York City. And the truth is,
- 1:20:07Speaker 15: while he may be making some tenants happy, he's screwing
- 1:20:10Speaker 15: off the landlord. So it's not a win for the
- 1:20:13Speaker 15: mayor and New York City either, is it?
- 1:20:17Speaker 8: It is not for the following reason. OK, we say
- 1:20:21Speaker 8: we want to have more affordable housing. Well, small landlords
- 1:20:25Speaker 8: can't afford upkeep and to improve their properties and keep
- 1:20:31Speaker 8: them on the market when they don't get any fair
- 1:20:35Speaker 8: rent increase, because they're This rent freeze, unprecedented in city history, zero, zero,
- 1:20:43Speaker 8: across-the-board freeze, never happened before. That really kills the small
- 1:20:48Speaker 8: landlords and has prevented them from— this is the count. You
- 1:20:53Speaker 8: see it on TV ads now that some affordable housing
- 1:20:56Speaker 8: group is running 60,000 empty apartments because the landlords can't
- 1:21:02Speaker 8: afford to keep them up and put them on the market.
- 1:21:05Speaker 8: This is insanity. Again, I hate to use that word,
- 1:21:08Speaker 8: but this policy makes no sense. And the Mondani administration
- 1:21:12Speaker 8: imposed it on what's supposed to be an independent rent
- 1:21:16Speaker 8: guidelines board for the first time in its history doing
- 1:21:19Speaker 8: a zero-zero across the board rent freeze. And here's the rub, right?
- 1:21:23Speaker 8: Last night, a little before midnight, the city was ordered
- 1:21:27Speaker 8: by a judge to produce documents. Top city hall officials
- 1:21:33Speaker 8: and the rent guidelines board They produced hundreds of documents,
- 1:21:41Speaker 8: including from their personal devices. We couldn't get into them
- 1:21:44Speaker 8: last night because the way they were produced, the codes
- 1:21:46Speaker 8: didn't work. We're getting into them this morning, and we
- 1:21:49Speaker 8: will have so much more to say about that later today.
- 1:21:52Speaker 8: We got those documents, and we can't wait to review them.
- 1:21:55Speaker 1: Oh, my God.
- 1:21:56Speaker 15: I got to call you later. I got to hear myself.
- 1:21:58Speaker 15: Last one, Randy, you're a great friend of the Jews.
- 1:22:01Speaker 1: In New York. You really are.
- 1:22:02Speaker 15: Every administration you work with, you actually love the Jewish
- 1:22:06Speaker 15: people and care. I don't care how many videos this
- 1:22:09Speaker 15: guy does. I don't care what Sukkot he goes to,
- 1:22:12Speaker 15: Lubavitch or Satmar. I don't care if he spends $ 7
- 1:22:15Speaker 15: million or $ 7 billion. No one's going to convince me
- 1:22:18Speaker 15: that Mamdani is not a raging, I mean a raging anti-Semite.
- 1:22:23Speaker 1: Him and his skank wife. You don't got to say that.
- 1:22:25Speaker 1: I'll say it, okay?
- 1:22:26Speaker 15: But did you see this ridiculous video he put out
- 1:22:29Speaker 15: yesterday where he's combating anti-Semitism?
- 1:22:34Speaker 8: I haven't seen it personally. And Sid, you know, I
- 1:22:37Speaker 8: don't use the same language you do, particularly not when
- 1:22:39Speaker 8: I'm talking about wives. But let me just say this.
- 1:22:43Speaker 1: You may not use the same language, but you may
- 1:22:45Speaker 1: not disagree, right, Randy?
- 1:22:47Speaker 8: Well, I agree that.
- 1:22:52Speaker 8: Our mayor is not standing up against anti-Semitism, and I
- 1:22:57Speaker 8: have heard and read about what he put out yesterday.
- 1:23:01Speaker 8: Where is the actual definition of anti-Semitism? There's an international
- 1:23:06Speaker 8: definition that was accepted. and has been accepted around the world,
- 1:23:11Speaker 8: and that Eric Adams, by executive order, made the definition
- 1:23:15Speaker 8: of anti-Semitism, the official definition for our city, that Mondani
- 1:23:20Speaker 8: voided on day one, and he still doesn't have a
- 1:23:23Speaker 8: definition of anti-Semitism. And of all those crime categories, what
- 1:23:26Speaker 8: crime category is going up? And thank God our police
- 1:23:29Speaker 8: are doing a great job. Hate crimes against Jews. Hate
- 1:23:34Speaker 8: crimes against Jews.
- 1:23:37Speaker 15: It is funny that he's trying to combat anti-Semitism, but
- 1:23:40Speaker 15: like you said, he wiped out that executive order day one,
- 1:23:43Speaker 15: defining anti-Semitism, and at no point yesterday did he define anti-Semitism.
- 1:23:50Speaker 15: Hard to really defeat something when you're not exactly sure
- 1:23:53Speaker 15: how to describe it. That's Mayor Mamdani. Listen, Randy, again, congratulations.
- 1:23:58Speaker 15: The work you're doing for this city is really unbelievable.
- 1:24:02Speaker 15: You should get like a New York Purple Heart or something.
- 1:24:04Speaker 1: I don't know. You really are spectacular, Randy Mastro. We
- 1:24:07Speaker 1: love you. Thank you so much.
- 1:24:09Speaker 8: Thank you, Sid. Appreciate you.
- 1:24:11Speaker 16: Bye-bye.
- 1:24:11Speaker 1: Appreciate you, too. Have a safe trip home. Randy Mastro
- 1:24:14Speaker 1: right there. So there it is.
- 1:24:15Speaker 15: The mayor now has to redo that whole peer-to-peer tax nonsense.
- 1:24:20Speaker 15: And now Randy is trying to make the whole thing
- 1:24:22Speaker 15: go away. I would love that. He's also fighting for
- 1:24:25Speaker 15: the landlords in this. frozen rent fiasco, another fiasco by
- 1:24:29Speaker 15: the mayor. And as I said at 6 o'clock, and
- 1:24:31Speaker 15: he just reiterated it, the fact is you can't fight
- 1:24:34Speaker 15: something you don't define. And the reason why Mamdani doesn't
- 1:24:38Speaker 15: define anti-Semitism is because he's guilty of it almost every
- 1:24:44Speaker 15: single day. We'll take a short break. When we get back,
- 1:24:47Speaker 15: as I mentioned earlier.
- 1:24:48Speaker 3: Sid and Friends in the Morning on the Red Apple
- 1:24:52Speaker 3: Podcast Network.
- 1:24:54Speaker 1: Tonight, Max Freed will tow the rubber for the Yanks
- 1:24:58Speaker 1: as they look to eliminate the Red Sox in two
- 1:25:01Speaker 1: and move on to take on the Tampa Bay Rays.
- 1:25:04Speaker 1: We're live this morning from my friend Leon's place, Electronics Expo,
- 1:25:09Speaker 1: right here on Route 17 South in Paramus. The address
- 1:25:13Speaker 1: is 197, and they got everything you want. Home theaters,
- 1:25:17Speaker 1: flat screen TV. So years and years ago, when I
- 1:25:21Speaker 1: was a teenager... I actually worked in the electronics business
- 1:25:25Speaker 1: because my brother-in-law, who I mention all the time, I
- 1:25:27Speaker 1: love him so much, he listens every day. Albert, who's
- 1:25:30Speaker 1: married to my sister Ray Sherry. In fact, you remember
- 1:25:33Speaker 1: when I came back to New York in 2016, Danielle
- 1:25:37Speaker 1: and the kids stayed down in Boca Raton, Florida.
- 1:25:40Speaker 15: I came to New York and I moved in for
- 1:25:43Speaker 15: six months with Albert and Ray Sherry in Mill Basin, Brooklyn.
- 1:25:47Speaker 15: But Albert owned two of the biggest electronic stores in
- 1:25:50Speaker 15: Brooklyn over the years, Warren's World, that was on Avenue
- 1:25:53Speaker 15: U and Ocean Avenue, and then Brooklyn Magnavox, which was
- 1:25:58Speaker 15: Nostrand Avenue and around Avenue M. And Albert was a
- 1:26:02Speaker 15: big deal in the business, my brother-in-law, big deal. He
- 1:26:04Speaker 15: had retail operations, but he sold to all the retail
- 1:26:08Speaker 15: operations here in New York from the Wiz. They were
- 1:26:12Speaker 15: big back then, the Jamal brothers, to Crazy Eddie, to
- 1:26:15Speaker 15: my friend Leon's brother, Mike, Sixth Avenue Electronics. I'm talking
- 1:26:20Speaker 15: about 25 years ago.
- 1:26:21Speaker 1: He also had a huge UPS business and sold electronics
- 1:26:26Speaker 1: all over the country. He was at the very forefront,
- 1:26:28Speaker 1: my brother-in-law Albert, when Atari first came out and the
- 1:26:32Speaker 1: Commodore 64 and the camcorders. Albert was right there at
- 1:26:37Speaker 1: the very top. So I didn't realize this, but I've
- 1:26:40Speaker 1: known Leon and his brother for like 30 years. Who knew?
- 1:26:45Speaker 1: Turns out to be one of the great guys, Leon,
- 1:26:47Speaker 1: and at his place today. And he's a big deal
- 1:26:50Speaker 1: in Jersey. If you want jewelry, a flat screen TV,
- 1:26:54Speaker 1: or a home theater, Leon's the guy. He's the guy.
- 1:26:57Speaker 1: We'll be here until about 10, 15 this morning. We
- 1:27:00Speaker 1: did make some changes. The attorney, John Coyle, he'll be
- 1:27:04Speaker 1: here at 830 now. Then we'll go to.
- 1:27:06Speaker 15: Excuse me, Bill O'Reilly. Then we'll go to Robert Wall,
- 1:27:09Speaker 15: and we've now moved Peter King to tomorrow. So you
- 1:27:12Speaker 15: get Coyle, O'Reilly, and Wall coming up today. So we'll
- 1:27:16Speaker 15: get to the news, Lewis, and then 90 more great minutes.
- 1:27:20Speaker 3: Sid and Friends in the Morning on the Red Apple
- 1:27:24Speaker 3: Podcast Network.
- 1:27:26Speaker 15: There's a room down there with a projection television. It
- 1:27:29Speaker 15: must be about 145. There's one up here in the
- 1:27:32Speaker 15: showroom upstairs that's 200. And the room, which is a
- 1:27:37Speaker 15: beautiful room, I can live there. I swear I could
- 1:27:39Speaker 15: live there. Got a bar in there and all this
- 1:27:42Speaker 15: beautiful chairs and couches. So the room has speakers everywhere,
- 1:27:47Speaker 15: but you can't tell because it almost looks like it's
- 1:27:50Speaker 15: part of the decoration.
- 1:27:52Speaker 1: He shut the door. He shut the lights. And I
- 1:27:55Speaker 1: was literally in an IMAX theater downstairs at this place.
- 1:28:01Speaker 1: And I want that at my house. And I want
- 1:28:04Speaker 1: it today, Leon. So let's make that happen. Okay, baby?
- 1:28:06Speaker 4: I thought you had one of those setups kind of
- 1:28:08Speaker 4: for Saturday night.
- 1:28:10Speaker 7: Like it sounded like he was leading you downstairs for
- 1:28:13Speaker 7: one of your usual.
- 1:28:14Speaker 8: Right.
- 1:28:14Speaker 1: Okay, down into the dark. Sure. And the gimp is
- 1:28:18Speaker 1: down there dressed in leather.
- 1:28:19Speaker 5: Well, you said it.
- 1:28:20Speaker 16: I didn't.
- 1:28:21Speaker 15: A little Pulp Fiction for you. No, they've got great
- 1:28:25Speaker 15: stuff here. Lou, I know you went to all this
- 1:28:26Speaker 15: electronic stuff as well.
- 1:28:27Speaker 1: Oh, I'd be lost in there. Oh, you'd love this place.
- 1:28:29Speaker 5: I would never come out.
- 1:28:30Speaker 1: I know.
- 1:28:31Speaker 15: So home theaters and flat screen TVs and speakers and
- 1:28:35Speaker 15: he's just got a whole bunch of great stuff and
- 1:28:37Speaker 15: people have been coming in and out all morning.
- 1:28:39Speaker 1: It's still early here, obviously. A lot of traffic.
- 1:28:42Speaker 15: I used to live very close by in Tenafly, New Jersey.
- 1:28:45Speaker 15: In fact, Ava was a baby when we lived here.
- 1:28:47Speaker 15: Gabe wasn't even born. He was born in Florida. But
- 1:28:50Speaker 15: we used to buy her stuff at Nut Baby Gap.
- 1:28:53Speaker 15: There's another one. Another one of these really popular baby stores.
- 1:28:57Speaker 15: It's since out of business. But we were in this
- 1:28:59Speaker 15: area all the time. When I go see my mother upstate,
- 1:29:02Speaker 15: we usually go through Paramus and Route 17.
- 1:29:05Speaker 1: And then we go through Mahwah. And I stop at
- 1:29:08Speaker 1: my favorite, the State Line Diner. They got the best
- 1:29:11Speaker 1: salad bar anywhere in New Jersey, anywhere in the country.
- 1:29:14Speaker 1: So that's the last restaurant before you hit the New
- 1:29:17Speaker 1: York Thruway. And then eventually you get to, you know,
- 1:29:21Speaker 1: up there by, what is that called? The outlets? Oh,
- 1:29:23Speaker 1: the outlets.
- 1:29:24Speaker 17: Yes.
- 1:29:26Speaker 1: The hell is that called again?
- 1:29:27Speaker 5: Barb.
- 1:29:28Speaker 17: It's.
- 1:29:29Speaker 1: Right past 17, I know.
- 1:29:31Speaker 18: Something Commons. Woodbury Commons.
- 1:29:34Speaker 1: Very good.
- 1:29:34Speaker 15: And then you hop on the quick way at about
- 1:29:37Speaker 15: exit 130, and I take that to exit 104, just
- 1:29:42Speaker 15: in case you want to find me and kill me
- 1:29:43Speaker 15: next summer, which is Monticello, and that's where we spend
- 1:29:48Speaker 15: some of our summers. So this area, I've lived here.
- 1:29:51Speaker 15: I traveled through here. I love New Jersey. I love
- 1:29:54Speaker 15: living in Bergen County.
- 1:29:55Speaker 1: I loved it.
- 1:29:56Speaker 15: You know, if I didn't lose my job and have
- 1:29:58Speaker 15: to leave WFAN and move to Florida, I know God
- 1:30:03Speaker 15: does everything for a reason.
- 1:30:04Speaker 1: I got it.
- 1:30:05Speaker 15: Look where I am today. You don't get bigger than me.
- 1:30:07Speaker 15: So maybe I ought to go through all of that
- 1:30:09Speaker 15: just to get here. But I love living here. I
- 1:30:11Speaker 15: lived on Elm and Serpentine in Tenafly, New Jersey. Had
- 1:30:16Speaker 15: my 8x10 black and white picture right by the cash
- 1:30:19Speaker 15: register at the Tenafly Diner. And I still love New Jersey.
- 1:30:23Speaker 15: I got to tell you, it's a beautiful state. You know,
- 1:30:25Speaker 15: the governor is no good. Mikey Muhammad Sherrill is no good.
- 1:30:29Speaker 15: But the governor, you know, she can't ruin it. You know,
- 1:30:32Speaker 15: I got friends who live down there by Asbury Park
- 1:30:35Speaker 15: in Middletown, New Jersey.
- 1:30:37Speaker 1: I've taken the ferry to Highlands and Atlantic Highlands. And
- 1:30:42Speaker 1: what's the other one? The same name as the little
- 1:30:45Speaker 1: town where That guy killed all the little kids. I
- 1:30:48Speaker 1: hate to say it like that, but Sandy Hook. That's right.
- 1:30:50Speaker 15: So there's parts of this state that I absolutely love.
- 1:30:54Speaker 15: And it's nice to be here today helping out my
- 1:30:56Speaker 15: friend Leon on this gorgeous Wednesday morning. We'll say in
- 1:31:00Speaker 15: New Jersey, very, very big case. Very, very big win.
- 1:31:04Speaker 15: You guys know I bring on a lot of people
- 1:31:06Speaker 15: now that are talking about vaccines. They're talking about religious exemption.
- 1:31:12Speaker 15: They're talking about families and parental rights. All those great things.
- 1:31:18Speaker 15: We've had about 10 guests on the show. You know
- 1:31:20Speaker 15: who they are. So now this lawyer... This Coyle, he
- 1:31:25Speaker 15: actually won a case for a man named de Blasio,
- 1:31:28Speaker 15: a religious exemption case dating all the way back to COVID-19.
- 1:31:33Speaker 3: Sid and Friends in the Morning on the Red Apple
- 1:31:38Speaker 3: Podcast Network.
- 1:31:40Speaker 15: People are stopping by all morning. I appreciate that to
- 1:31:42Speaker 15: say hello. And we've had a great show so far.
- 1:31:45Speaker 15: Rich Lowry and Randy Mastro, they've stopped by. Still to come,
- 1:31:49Speaker 15: Bill O'Reilly, the comedic actor Robert Wally was sitting with
- 1:31:52Speaker 15: me in Randy Levine's suite at Yankee Stadium last night.
- 1:31:55Speaker 15: Big win for the Bombers. But I'll talk to this
- 1:31:58Speaker 15: guy now. My friend Victoria Cabus made me aware of
- 1:32:02Speaker 15: this story. It's a big story. A lot of New
- 1:32:04Speaker 15: Jersey people that fight everyday parental rights and religious exemptions
- 1:32:09Speaker 15: and some anti-vax people as well. Others who are just
- 1:32:12Speaker 15: worried about the future of their children and what the
- 1:32:16Speaker 15: government and the city and state make you do.
- 1:32:18Speaker 1: And I appreciate all of that.
- 1:32:20Speaker 15: Made me aware of this story about some gentleman named
- 1:32:22Speaker 15: Teddy de Blasio and a lawyer out of Essex County
- 1:32:26Speaker 15: named John Coyle. So with that said, John, Welcome to
- 1:32:30Speaker 15: Sid and Friends in the Morning, and let me start
- 1:32:32Speaker 15: by saying congratulations.
- 1:32:35Speaker 22: Thank you, Sid.
- 1:32:36Speaker 9: It's an honor and a pleasure to be on your show.
- 1:32:39Speaker 1: Thank you, John. I appreciate that.
- 1:32:40Speaker 15: So just give the details because as far as I know,
- 1:32:43Speaker 15: de Blasio, a groundskeeper here in New Jersey, right?
- 1:32:47Speaker 1: Not a very, very wealthy man.
- 1:32:49Speaker 15: He decided based on his religion that he was not
- 1:32:52Speaker 15: going to get the vaccine during the COVID-19 days. And
- 1:32:56Speaker 15: like a lot of people in New Jersey, New York
- 1:32:58Speaker 15: and around the country, he got screwed, right?
- 1:33:00Speaker 1: He lost his job.
- 1:33:01Speaker 15: Now, I guess he got that back money back, but
- 1:33:04Speaker 15: By the time that happens, a lot of these people
- 1:33:06Speaker 15: are already ruined. Correct me if I'm wrong, this religious
- 1:33:10Speaker 15: exemption win for you was the first ever in the
- 1:33:13Speaker 15: history of that state.
- 1:33:14Speaker 1: Isn't that right?
- 1:33:16Speaker 17: That is.
- 1:33:17Speaker 9: This is the first jury verdict in New Jersey. There
- 1:33:20Speaker 9: are other people in New York who've won these successfully
- 1:33:23Speaker 9: through administrative proceedings. My good friend Christina Martinez has been
- 1:33:26Speaker 9: helping New York's bravest and New York's finest get reinstated
- 1:33:29Speaker 9: for these vaccine mandates. But first in front of a jury,
- 1:33:31Speaker 9: there's only been a handful of these nationwide. And it's
- 1:33:36Speaker 9: really a function of a couple of things. Yes, Teddy
- 1:33:39Speaker 9: was seeking a religious exemption due to his deep Christian faith.
- 1:33:42Speaker 9: And it turns out the corruption and rot behind the
- 1:33:45Speaker 9: scenes at all these counties and all these employers is
- 1:33:48Speaker 9: deeper than even you might even know. In practice, Essex
- 1:33:52Speaker 9: County denied every single Christian's religious exemption, telling anybody from
- 1:33:58Speaker 9: no matter what your job was, including as you said,
- 1:34:00Speaker 9: Teddy was a groundskeeper at the hospital that he couldn't be,
- 1:34:05Speaker 9: he couldn't be accommodated with masking and testing because And
- 1:34:08Speaker 9: that his beliefs were fake. He failed to meet a
- 1:34:11Speaker 9: mystical standard that they never explained to anybody. Meanwhile, at
- 1:34:14Speaker 9: the exact same time, if you were Muslim, you had
- 1:34:18Speaker 9: your religious exemption rubber stamped.
- 1:34:21Speaker 5: Even when one of.
- 1:34:22Speaker 9: The Muslims submitted a photocopy of the others, they were
- 1:34:26Speaker 9: rubber stamped and approved.
- 1:34:28Speaker 5: Hold on.
- 1:34:29Speaker 15: I'm going to stop you right there because this is
- 1:34:31Speaker 15: a big deal for me because I'm not sure if
- 1:34:33Speaker 15: you listen every day, John, and of course you're in
- 1:34:37Speaker 15: New Jersey and I'm in New York, but I go
- 1:34:39Speaker 15: on the air every day and I eviscerate the mayor,
- 1:34:43Speaker 15: not because he's Muslim, but because I believe he's radical Islam.
- 1:34:47Speaker 15: I have no issue with God-bearing, nice Muslim people. Nobody would,
- 1:34:51Speaker 15: of course. But I had no idea there was a
- 1:34:54Speaker 15: Muslim part of this story where they were being treated
- 1:34:57Speaker 15: differently in New Jersey than my Christian friends.
- 1:35:02Speaker 9: You nailed it 100%. So listen, by the way, I'm
- 1:35:05Speaker 9: originally from Staten Island in Brooklyn. So I've been a
- 1:35:08Speaker 9: longtime 77 listener, even though like you at times, I
- 1:35:11Speaker 9: stayed on the side of the river. Let me say this.
- 1:35:15Speaker 9: It's 100% right. And it doesn't matter what your take
- 1:35:19Speaker 9: on exemptions is. It doesn't matter what your take about
- 1:35:22Speaker 9: vaccines or anything else. Discrimination is discrimination. And Essex County
- 1:35:27Speaker 9: put in place a policy. And let's just be clear,
- 1:35:30Speaker 9: the Muslims who were allowed to continue working were a
- 1:35:33Speaker 9: nurse and a hospital attendant who worked daily directly with
- 1:35:37Speaker 9: patients in every possible intimate way you could. Meanwhile, the groundskeeper,
- 1:35:42Speaker 9: because he's Christian, couldn't. that sums up the world, the
- 1:35:48Speaker 9: rot at the core of Essex County more than anything else.
- 1:35:50Speaker 1: Well, not just Essex County.
- 1:35:52Speaker 15: You know, look, I mean, I'm Jewish, obviously, and I
- 1:35:54Speaker 15: rage against anti-Semitism every day. And, you know, I believe
- 1:35:58Speaker 15: that it's out of control.
- 1:35:59Speaker 1: I really do.
- 1:35:59Speaker 15: And people try to mask it. They go, no, no,
- 1:36:01Speaker 15: we don't dislike the Jews. We don't like Zionists.
- 1:36:04Speaker 1: Okay. Once you tell me that, the odds are about 90%.
- 1:36:06Speaker 1: You don't like Jews either. Okay.
- 1:36:08Speaker 15: So I'm here every day to protect them. But I'm
- 1:36:10Speaker 15: also here to say, you know, you're laughing because you
- 1:36:12Speaker 15: know I'm right, John. But, you know, the Christians... They
- 1:36:16Speaker 15: are the ones who take more abuse and are murdered
- 1:36:19Speaker 15: more than anybody else around the world, including Jews. And
- 1:36:23Speaker 15: we're starting to see a lot of issues, churches, schools,
- 1:36:28Speaker 15: right here in the United States. So it's not just
- 1:36:31Speaker 15: the Jews. Yes, in New York, the Jews are far
- 1:36:33Speaker 15: and away the group of people that are the clobbered.
- 1:36:36Speaker 15: It's like 70% of the hate crimes. But the Christian people...
- 1:36:41Speaker 15: especially around the world, they are going through the same
- 1:36:44Speaker 15: types of things. So to hear this out of Essex County,
- 1:36:48Speaker 15: New Jersey, from my Christian friends, really bothers me.
- 1:36:53Speaker 8: It should.
- 1:36:53Speaker 9: It should really bother anybody because... Because setting in motion
- 1:36:58Speaker 9: different standards and different policies for people, depending upon what
- 1:37:01Speaker 9: their beliefs are, is just pure wrong and evil. It's
- 1:37:04Speaker 9: against everything our country stands for and everything legally there is.
- 1:37:08Speaker 9: And that's– at the end of the day, that was
- 1:37:10Speaker 9: my pitch to this jury, which was, look, a jury
- 1:37:12Speaker 9: of multiple backgrounds. Essex County is a wonderfully diverse place,
- 1:37:16Speaker 9: not necessarily full of Republicans, but it's a very diverse place.
- 1:37:21Speaker 9: And the point I said to everybody is if you–
- 1:37:24Speaker 9: if Teddy– had been a Muslim, would his exemption have
- 1:37:28Speaker 9: been granted? And I think the answer was unequivocally yes.
- 1:37:33Speaker 1: Wow.
- 1:37:35Speaker 15: So do you think now, again, you've had success in
- 1:37:38Speaker 15: Essex County, and it's difficult for you to speak on
- 1:37:40Speaker 15: behalf of the whole state.
- 1:37:41Speaker 1: It's a large state. But do you think we are
- 1:37:44Speaker 1: moving towards more religious exemption laws? in states and around
- 1:37:51Speaker 1: the country, knowing now what we know about COVID, especially
- 1:37:54Speaker 1: the vaccines and all the lies that we're told. I mean, obviously,
- 1:37:58Speaker 1: Anthony Fauci should be put in prison. He should get
- 1:38:01Speaker 1: the death penalty, Anthony Fauci. Let's be honest.
- 1:38:03Speaker 15: Do you think that what happened with you and de
- 1:38:05Speaker 15: Blasio in Essex County will now start to mirror other
- 1:38:08Speaker 15: cases around the country?
- 1:38:11Speaker 9: Well, I hope so. I mean, it's not a newsflash
- 1:38:14Speaker 9: to say lawyer thinks lawsuits change society, but they do, right?
- 1:38:19Speaker 9: And I have a number of these other lawsuits. I
- 1:38:21Speaker 9: filed over 75 COVID lawsuits at the height of the pandemic,
- 1:38:25Speaker 9: and several of them are still pending. So I think
- 1:38:28Speaker 9: that this is the tip of the iceberg. The sad
- 1:38:30Speaker 9: part of this is every time somebody gets the sniffles
- 1:38:32Speaker 9: where there's a story in the news, the first thing
- 1:38:34Speaker 9: everybody runs up in the media, not on 77, of course,
- 1:38:38Speaker 9: runs on the media to do is take away people's
- 1:38:40Speaker 9: religious rights and take further freedoms. I think we're going
- 1:38:44Speaker 9: to see this come up again. I think it's going
- 1:38:46Speaker 9: to come up Anytime that there's an opportunity, there's a deep,
- 1:38:50Speaker 9: deep evil rot of people who don't know where our
- 1:38:53Speaker 9: country came from. And they're looking to quash people's religious
- 1:38:57Speaker 9: beliefs at every opportunity they can. Christian, Jewish... Perhaps not
- 1:39:03Speaker 9: exactly Muslim, but that's the sign of the.
- 1:39:05Speaker 1: Time we have.
- 1:39:06Speaker 15: Listen, John, I know that we've got a lot of
- 1:39:08Speaker 15: Muslim people here now, and you can thank Joe Biden
- 1:39:10Speaker 15: for that, but this country was not built on Islam, okay?
- 1:39:14Speaker 15: This country was built on Judeo-Christian values. That doesn't mean
- 1:39:17Speaker 15: everybody's not welcome here. That doesn't mean everybody is not...
- 1:39:21Speaker 15: you know, welcome to practice their own religion, do what
- 1:39:23Speaker 15: they want to do.
- 1:39:24Speaker 1: Of course not. Of course not.
- 1:39:25Speaker 15: But this country was built on Judeo-Christian values. You know,
- 1:39:30Speaker 15: that is the bottom line. I got to tell you,
- 1:39:32Speaker 15: for people that were fighting for parental rights, people that
- 1:39:36Speaker 15: were fighting for religious exemptions, I'm going to tell you this. Seven,
- 1:39:41Speaker 15: eight years ago, John, those people looked like wackos. Those wackos,
- 1:39:45Speaker 15: what are they, crazy? And I got to tell you,
- 1:39:47Speaker 15: They knew they were right all the way back then,
- 1:39:49Speaker 15: but most people didn't. Years and years later, those people
- 1:39:53Speaker 15: were in the right. And thank God they've got a
- 1:39:55Speaker 15: voice like you, John Coyle, to represent them today.
- 1:40:00Speaker 9: By the way, this is not an anti-Muslim rant. This
- 1:40:03Speaker 9: is simply a fact that you shouldn't have separate standards
- 1:40:05Speaker 9: for everybody. Everybody's religious beliefs should be accepted in this
- 1:40:09Speaker 9: country if you're willing to become part of this country
- 1:40:12Speaker 9: and live by our laws and rules. And what happened here, listen,
- 1:40:17Speaker 9: keep fighting the fight you're doing. Keep saying the things
- 1:40:19Speaker 9: you are and keep– Keep all of those accountable as
- 1:40:24Speaker 9: best we can. We may never get justice for Fauci
- 1:40:26Speaker 9: and other people, but we can only hope for the future.
- 1:40:29Speaker 15: So give me on the way out here, John, you're terrific,
- 1:40:31Speaker 15: by the way. God bless you. Give me Teddy de Blasio.
- 1:40:34Speaker 15: What kind of life is he living these days? I
- 1:40:36Speaker 15: think I already got a lot of his back paid back.
- 1:40:37Speaker 16: Yes.
- 1:40:39Speaker 9: Well, so Teddy got a award on paper. The jury
- 1:40:42Speaker 9: came back last Friday. We have yet we have further
- 1:40:45Speaker 9: proceedings dealing with in court, and we don't yet to
- 1:40:47Speaker 9: see if Essex County is going to fight that. Teddy
- 1:40:50Speaker 9: got his beliefs validated. He had a jury of his
- 1:40:53Speaker 9: peers tell him that they accepted his beliefs and accepted
- 1:40:57Speaker 9: his faith and determined unanimously that he was discriminated against
- 1:41:00Speaker 9: because he was a Christian. The law, I don't want to.
- 1:41:05Speaker 9: or your listeners, but there's a long way between getting
- 1:41:08Speaker 9: a verdict and Teddy actually getting it. But Teddy's had
- 1:41:11Speaker 9: his beliefs validated and accepted by his peers. And that's
- 1:41:15Speaker 9: the biggest step that anyone could hope for.
- 1:41:16Speaker 1: No, no, you're right about that. I don't think Fred
- 1:41:19Speaker 1: Goldman got paid yet. You know what I'm saying, John?
- 1:41:23Speaker 1: I think O.J. owed him about $ 40 million when he died. Listen,
- 1:41:27Speaker 1: it's a great job you did. You really did. And
- 1:41:29Speaker 1: it's a very, very important case. And I really hope
- 1:41:32Speaker 1: that you're the beginning. You're the pioneer, John, and lots
- 1:41:35Speaker 1: of other people that have been screwed along the way
- 1:41:38Speaker 1: for a variety of issues dating back to the COVID era.
- 1:41:42Speaker 1: Get what they deserve with great attorneys like you. John Coyle,
- 1:41:45Speaker 1: thank you so much.
- 1:41:47Speaker 8: Thank you very much, Sid.
- 1:41:48Speaker 9: Keep going and God bless.
- 1:41:50Speaker 1: Thank you, too. John Coyle right there, big-time attorney in
- 1:41:53Speaker 1: Essex County, winning a very, very big case for Teddy
- 1:41:56Speaker 1: de Blasio. We'll take a short break.
- 1:41:58Speaker 15: When we get back, there is no segment on WABC,
- 1:42:01Speaker 15: any time, any show, any day that gets bigger ratings
- 1:42:05Speaker 15: than Bill O'Reilly and Sid Rosenberg.
- 1:42:08Speaker 2: Sid and Friends.
- 1:42:10Speaker 3: In the Morning on the Red Apple Podcast Network.
- 1:42:14Speaker 15: He's been doing his show from Brooklyn this week, and
- 1:42:17Speaker 15: he had Mayor Mamdani on Monday, and that was nauseating.
- 1:42:21Speaker 15: Last night he had Howard Stern on, and that's his
- 1:42:24Speaker 15: best buddy. And Friday, Paul McCartney, who does all these shows.
- 1:42:28Speaker 15: You know, McCartney was the very, very last guest for
- 1:42:31Speaker 15: Stephen Colbert. So McCartney will be with Jimmy Kimmel in
- 1:42:36Speaker 15: Brooklyn on Friday. You know, I shouldn't say Bill likes him.
- 1:42:39Speaker 15: I have a tendency to put words in people's mouths.
- 1:42:42Speaker 1: I know he likes... what he does with his kid
- 1:42:45Speaker 1: and autism, and that is honorable. But I shouldn't say that.
- 1:42:49Speaker 1: Let me ask Bill O'Reilly flat out. Bill, you like
- 1:42:52Speaker 1: Jimmy Kimmel?
- 1:42:57Speaker 17: That's an interesting question. In person, I like him, but
- 1:43:04Speaker 17: I don't like what he's doing to the country. So
- 1:43:09Speaker 17: it's a split decision there.
- 1:43:11Speaker 1: Well, let me ask you this. Let me ask you this.
- 1:43:13Speaker 15: He goes, I'm in Brooklyn. Bill, you're in Nassau County,
- 1:43:16Speaker 15: not that far away. I got McCartney. I got Stern.
- 1:43:19Speaker 15: I got Mom Donnie. You're the all-time best, best cable
- 1:43:22Speaker 15: news guy ever. You're still doing great today. Why don't
- 1:43:26Speaker 15: you stop by Brooklyn and do a segment with me?
- 1:43:29Speaker 15: What would Bill O'Reilly say?
- 1:43:31Speaker 17: Yeah, I'd go on. They're easy. You know, I got
- 1:43:34Speaker 17: the book, Confronting America, what else you change. I've got
- 1:43:37Speaker 17: a chapter on Paul McCartney, me. And Barack Obama.
- 1:43:43Speaker 1: That's right.
- 1:43:45Speaker 17: And what happened there was stunning. Absolutely stunning. And so
- 1:43:54Speaker 17: if people are interested in McCartney and, you know, this story,
- 1:43:58Speaker 17: which has never been told before, they should pick up
- 1:44:03Speaker 17: the book. Because when you read it, you go, this
- 1:44:05Speaker 17: is impossible. This couldn't happen. It happened. It has to
- 1:44:09Speaker 17: do with helping poor kids. But I understand, look, all
- 1:44:16Speaker 17: of these people, including Kimmel, are in it for the money.
- 1:44:21Speaker 17: And Kimmel now, his crew, has said, well, Colbert is
- 1:44:26Speaker 17: not there anymore, so we'll get his far-left audience to
- 1:44:30Speaker 17: come on over to watch us. And that's exactly what
- 1:44:34Speaker 17: they're doing. So they lifted their numbers, you know, close
- 1:44:39Speaker 17: to a million. He's up around 2, 2, 2, 3
- 1:44:43Speaker 17: a night, which isn't very much, but in the current
- 1:44:47Speaker 17: television climate, you can make money doing that. Now, I'm
- 1:44:51Speaker 17: not saying that Kimmel doesn't believe what he's spouting, but
- 1:44:57Speaker 17: when I was on his program a number of times—
- 1:45:00Speaker 17: He was not nearly this radical.
- 1:45:03Speaker 1: Well, that was Trump. Not nearly. Right, but Trump did
- 1:45:06Speaker 1: all this. It's all Donald Trump.
- 1:45:08Speaker 17: All of it. Yeah, he got, but somebody was pushing him,
- 1:45:12Speaker 17: and the word in Hollywood is his wife, who is
- 1:45:19Speaker 17: the head writer of the Kimmel Show. Oh, boy. Oh, boy.
- 1:45:25Speaker 15: That's the word. Yeah, you know what I saw this
- 1:45:27Speaker 15: week that surprised me, too? is Chris Cuomo. You're on
- 1:45:32Speaker 15: his show on News Nation every week. And Stephen, you
- 1:45:35Speaker 15: guys do a good job. So Cuomo is this big
- 1:45:39Speaker 15: pro-Israel guy, Chris Cuomo. And I thought, you know, most
- 1:45:42Speaker 15: of the people that I surround myself with that are
- 1:45:45Speaker 15: pro-Israel are also pro-Bibi. I understand there's a faction of people,
- 1:45:50Speaker 15: even Jews, that hate Bibi. I don't like those people, okay?
- 1:45:53Speaker 15: I think they're stupid. That's just me. I think they're stupid.
- 1:45:56Speaker 15: So for some reason, I thought Cuomo was all in
- 1:45:59Speaker 15: like me. Pro-Israel, pro-Bibi. He went on a tirade on
- 1:46:04Speaker 15: Friday morning. First of all, he lied. I was sitting there.
- 1:46:07Speaker 15: I don't know if you know this, Bill, but I
- 1:46:09Speaker 15: was invited by Bibi, and I went to see him
- 1:46:11Speaker 15: speak at the U.N. last Thursday. I was in that room.
- 1:46:14Speaker 15: That room was not empty. Yes, a lot of people
- 1:46:17Speaker 15: walked out, plenty. But the place was still pretty crowded.
- 1:46:21Speaker 15: It wasn't empty, which Cuomo did say. And then Cuomo
- 1:46:24Speaker 15: went on to say what a bad guy Bibi is
- 1:46:27Speaker 15: and basically how he's Donald Trump. And maybe the two
- 1:46:30Speaker 15: most dangerous men in the world today are Donald Trump
- 1:46:33Speaker 15: and Bibi Netanyahu.
- 1:46:35Speaker 1: So Mr. Pro-Israel lost a couple of points with me.
- 1:46:37Speaker 1: I'm just saying.
- 1:46:38Speaker 17: Okay, and that's valid. I mean, but as I always
- 1:46:42Speaker 17: tell you, if you are a commentator and you are one,
- 1:46:47Speaker 17: you're entitled to your opinion. He's entitled to his opinion, Cuomo.
- 1:46:51Speaker 17: And if he doesn't like Bibi Netanyahu, okay. You know,
- 1:46:55Speaker 17: when I debate him, I go in for why, why
- 1:47:00Speaker 17: the facts and all of these kinds of things to
- 1:47:04Speaker 17: try to get to the bottom of whatever Chris is saying.
- 1:47:09Speaker 17: But we need, look, we need free dialogue in this country.
- 1:47:12Speaker 17: And there are a lot of people who don't understand Israel.
- 1:47:16Speaker 17: They don't know what's going on there. You do. And
- 1:47:21Speaker 17: this horrific October 7th is coming up. And I open
- 1:47:26Speaker 17: my book, Confronting Evil, the one before Confronting America, with
- 1:47:33Speaker 17: that slaughter.
- 1:47:34Speaker 5: Yep.
- 1:47:35Speaker 1: Great chapter.
- 1:47:36Speaker 17: Yeah, and when I hear people go genocide, I know
- 1:47:41Speaker 17: immediately that they don't know what they're talking about, or
- 1:47:44Speaker 17: they're just propagandists. So I don't think Cuomo falls into
- 1:47:49Speaker 17: that category. Now, he certainly wants, Chris does, the Democrats
- 1:47:55Speaker 17: to win. I mean, that's what all of this funnel
- 1:48:01Speaker 17: is leading to. But again, everybody at Fox wants... Trump
- 1:48:07Speaker 17: and the Republicans will win. I don't mind any of
- 1:48:11Speaker 17: that Tower of Babel stuff. I don't. I cut through
- 1:48:16Speaker 17: most of it. But on Kimmel's situation, he was very
- 1:48:20Speaker 17: respectful when I went on his program. I forget how
- 1:48:23Speaker 17: many times I was on there, but two or three times.
- 1:48:26Speaker 17: I remember because he had decent food in the green room,
- 1:48:29Speaker 17: so we'd go early and chow down on Jim.
- 1:48:33Speaker 1: That's good. That's good.
- 1:48:36Speaker 17: Yeah.
- 1:48:36Speaker 15: You know, you said something, you know, that I may
- 1:48:39Speaker 15: have to pick apart a little bit. You said everybody
- 1:48:43Speaker 15: at Fox wants Trump to win.
- 1:48:44Speaker 1: No, they don't. I got news for you. No, they don't.
- 1:48:47Speaker 15: You know, they've added a bunch of people. It really
- 1:48:50Speaker 15: started with McCallum. She would bring on that creep out
- 1:48:53Speaker 15: of California, Swalwell. Maybe you saw it before that.
- 1:48:56Speaker 1: I don't even know.
- 1:48:57Speaker 15: But the last couple of years, I noticed more and
- 1:49:00Speaker 15: more the Harold Ford juniors and those types of people
- 1:49:03Speaker 15: as the Murdochs are trying to play a little more
- 1:49:06Speaker 15: down the middle. You know, they got rid of Maria Bartiromo.
- 1:49:08Speaker 15: They banned me because I called Mom Donnie a terrorist
- 1:49:12Speaker 15: on a weekend show that nobody watches. I actually got
- 1:49:14Speaker 15: them ratings. So I don't know if everybody at Fox
- 1:49:19Speaker 15: wants Trump to win. I'm not sure how many networks
- 1:49:22Speaker 15: out there you can really say that for these days.
- 1:49:24Speaker 17: Well, it's interesting you made that statement because in about
- 1:49:28Speaker 17: three hours, I'm going to the White House to interview
- 1:49:30Speaker 17: Peter Navarro.
- 1:49:32Speaker 1: Oh, great one.
- 1:49:32Speaker 16: Great.
- 1:49:33Speaker 17: And that'll be on. We'll do it live. We'll drop
- 1:49:36Speaker 17: that tomorrow. And he believes what you believe, that Fox
- 1:49:42Speaker 17: is not as all in. as it used to be
- 1:49:47Speaker 17: on the conservative movement.
- 1:49:49Speaker 1: Well, he's right. Listen, they are moving left.
- 1:49:51Speaker 15: The father and the kid, Lachlan, they are not MAGA Republicans,
- 1:49:55Speaker 15: not even close. Now, when Roger Ailes was there and
- 1:49:58Speaker 15: people like you were there, it wouldn't have mattered. But
- 1:50:01Speaker 15: Roger's gone. O'Reilly's gone.
- 1:50:04Speaker 1: And even my dear friends, I love them dearly and
- 1:50:06Speaker 1: their magnificent talents, Sean Hannity, Mark Levin, they're not biting.
- 1:50:10Speaker 1: They're getting paid a lot of money. They go on
- 1:50:12Speaker 1: there and do what.
- 1:50:13Speaker 17: They got to do. No, Hannity. Hannity's bleeding. He's on
- 1:50:19Speaker 17: the front line, slugging away. Levin, you and Levin would
- 1:50:24Speaker 17: be a great interview together because, you know, you're both
- 1:50:26Speaker 17: very passionate about Israel. You understand it. You know the
- 1:50:31Speaker 17: danger to Jewish people not only in the United States
- 1:50:34Speaker 17: but all over the world. And you're seeing that now
- 1:50:36Speaker 17: with the Irish soccer team refusing to shake hands with
- 1:50:40Speaker 17: the Israeli team. You know, if I were an Ireland
- 1:50:43Speaker 17: boy right now, those people would be, I would lay
- 1:50:48Speaker 17: them out. you can't do that. You've got to stop
- 1:50:52Speaker 17: this nonsense.
- 1:50:52Speaker 1: What is that all about? One more point.
- 1:50:54Speaker 17: Because they don't know.
- 1:50:56Speaker 1: I know, I know.
- 1:50:57Speaker 15: But the Irish, I mean, they've really become horrible anti-Semites.
- 1:51:01Speaker 15: I mean, Ireland, they couldn't wait to scream free Palestine.
- 1:51:04Speaker 15: There are a couple of other places, European countries, I
- 1:51:07Speaker 15: know that.
- 1:51:08Speaker 17: But that's the communist element over there, not the regular folks.
- 1:51:12Speaker 17: So I brought some of my Jewish friends over to Ireland,
- 1:51:16Speaker 17: and all of them had the same question you did.
- 1:51:18Speaker 17: Why do I want to go to a country that
- 1:51:20Speaker 17: hates me? I said, the country doesn't hate you. The
- 1:51:23Speaker 17: folks are not going to give you a hard time.
- 1:51:25Speaker 17: This is the hardcore communist movement out of Northern Ireland.
- 1:51:30Speaker 17: So like every other country, Ireland is made up of factions.
- 1:51:36Speaker 17: And the further left you are, the more you hate Israel.
- 1:51:40Speaker 17: That's how it shapes. Yeah.
- 1:51:42Speaker 1: No, you're wrong.
- 1:51:43Speaker 17: Why does it shake that way? I have no blanket idea,
- 1:51:47Speaker 17: because when you debate me, I'm going to go and
- 1:51:51Speaker 17: trace the whole history of the Hamas problem, the Iran-Israeli problem.
- 1:52:01Speaker 17: And it always comes down to, in a debate, because
- 1:52:04Speaker 17: I know a thousand times more than these people know,
- 1:52:08Speaker 17: they don't have any answers. They don't have them. Bruce
- 1:52:12Speaker 17: Springsteen has no blanking idea where Israel is. Right, right. Yeah,
- 1:52:20Speaker 17: he thinks it's on the Jersey Shore.
- 1:52:22Speaker 15: Macklemore, you think that moron Macklemore has any idea what's
- 1:52:26Speaker 15: really going on in Tel Aviv right now?
- 1:52:30Speaker 17: And he made Sharon cry. Oh, my God.
- 1:52:33Speaker 1: That was terrible. It was terrible.
- 1:52:35Speaker 17: They all need to go to basic training. They all
- 1:52:37Speaker 17: need to go to Marine basic training.
- 1:52:39Speaker 15: No, they need to go to Gaza. That's where they
- 1:52:41Speaker 15: need to go. Spend a little time with Hamas. Forget
- 1:52:43Speaker 15: about basic training. Forget about Marines. Ha, ha, spend some
- 1:52:47Speaker 15: time with them. You know, one more note getting back
- 1:52:49Speaker 15: to Fox. They hired somebody this week, which proves my point,
- 1:52:53Speaker 15: and you can bring it up with Peter Navarro.
- 1:52:55Speaker 1: That makes no sense.
- 1:52:57Speaker 9: Why?
- 1:52:57Speaker 15: She is Andrew Cuomo, talking about Chris Cuomo, Democrat governor.
- 1:53:03Speaker 15: She's his right-hand lady.
- 1:53:06Speaker 1: She's got now a contributor salary and a podcast. How
- 1:53:12Speaker 1: would Melissa DeRosa fill in with Fox News five years ago?
- 1:53:17Speaker 17: Well, there was never a ban on liberals. Elves never
- 1:53:21Speaker 17: did that. In fact, we tried to recruit. I was
- 1:53:26Speaker 17: there for more than 20 years, and then the more
- 1:53:30Speaker 17: left-wing people you get in there, the livelier the debate was.
- 1:53:34Speaker 17: So we were just the opposite. We were looking for
- 1:53:38Speaker 17: people who had a responsible liberal point of view, and
- 1:53:42Speaker 17: it worked. Now, I don't know what they're doing over there.
- 1:53:45Speaker 17: I've got to be honest. I don't want to pay attention.
- 1:53:48Speaker 17: I'm sitting here in D.C. now. I'm going over to
- 1:53:50Speaker 17: the White House. I'm so busy, my eyes are spinning.
- 1:53:55Speaker 17: I'm lucky I got to watch the Yankee game last night.
- 1:53:58Speaker 1: Oh, we missed you there. We missed you at Yankee
- 1:54:01Speaker 1: Stadium last night, Bill.
- 1:54:02Speaker 17: I'll be there next week. I talked to Randy Levine,
- 1:54:05Speaker 17: the president, who's a good guy. yesterday, and I said, listen, Morelli,
- 1:54:08Speaker 17: I would be at that game, but if I'm going
- 1:54:10Speaker 17: to be arrested if I leave, I'll have to go.
- 1:54:15Speaker 1: I did.
- 1:54:16Speaker 15: I was in Randy's box last night with the great president,
- 1:54:19Speaker 15: and it was great. Chaz Palminteri was there. You know,
- 1:54:22Speaker 15: the great comedic actor is about to join me after you.
- 1:54:24Speaker 15: Robert Wall was there. But I left in the fifth
- 1:54:26Speaker 15: inning because I got up at 3 o'clock in the morning.
- 1:54:28Speaker 15: I missed Ben Rice's Grand Slam and all that good stuff.
- 1:54:31Speaker 15: But it's electric, and they're going to win tonight, and
- 1:54:34Speaker 15: you'll be there for the Tampa Bay Race Series coming
- 1:54:37Speaker 15: up next week. And Yankee playoff baseball in New York
- 1:54:40Speaker 15: is still a very, very exciting thing. You mentioned Iran.
- 1:54:42Speaker 15: I want to get to that. I asked, I forget
- 1:54:45Speaker 15: who it was yesterday, but I asked flat out, do
- 1:54:49Speaker 15: you think this thing is just about over? And the
- 1:54:52Speaker 15: person is a very smart person, too. And they said, yes, yes, yes,
- 1:54:57Speaker 15: I do.
- 1:54:58Speaker 1: What does Bill O'Reilly say?
- 1:55:01Speaker 17: So General David Petraeus, the head of the CIA, formally said,
- 1:55:08Speaker 17: He wrote a column this week in the Wall Street Journal,
- 1:55:11Speaker 17: said they're just hanging on and they're going to go. Now,
- 1:55:15Speaker 17: you've got to take him seriously. He's not an ideologue.
- 1:55:19Speaker 17: He's not involved with politics. He knows he gets all
- 1:55:22Speaker 17: the intel stuff. So you've got to take that seriously.
- 1:55:27Speaker 17: I'm just praying it's true, because that changes everything. If
- 1:55:31Speaker 17: Iran goes down and surrenders or does whatever they're going
- 1:55:34Speaker 17: to do but stops– you know, all of the terror,
- 1:55:40Speaker 17: then Trump wins that. So you know there are people
- 1:55:45Speaker 17: in the other party, the Democrats, that don't want that
- 1:55:47Speaker 17: to happen, particularly before the midterms. They don't want it
- 1:55:51Speaker 17: to happen.
- 1:55:52Speaker 1: Right, right.
- 1:55:53Speaker 17: Because then Trump would put pressure on the gas companies
- 1:55:56Speaker 17: and the food companies to stop this. So no question
- 1:55:59Speaker 17: we're getting exploited. No question about it. And so that
- 1:56:05Speaker 17: changes the whole dynamic, and then it turns five weeks
- 1:56:08Speaker 17: out if that happens. So there are so many things
- 1:56:12Speaker 17: in play here, and that's what drives me crazy. If
- 1:56:16Speaker 17: you're going to participate in a protest or a dialogue,
- 1:56:21Speaker 17: know what you are talking about.
- 1:56:24Speaker 9: Stop.
- 1:56:25Speaker 17: Stop. With the, you know, the Jews are doing this.
- 1:56:31Speaker 17: Hamas runs it. All right? They run Gaza. The Israelis
- 1:56:38Speaker 17: aren't the problem. It's Hamas that's the problem and Iran
- 1:56:42Speaker 17: behind them. And, you know, you just look at people,
- 1:56:46Speaker 17: but people believe what they want to believe. I mean,
- 1:56:48Speaker 17: people actually believe that you have friends.
- 1:56:53Speaker 8: Okay?
- 1:56:54Speaker 17: They actually believe the title of your show.
- 1:56:56Speaker 1: You're funny. You are funny.
- 1:56:58Speaker 17: He has a lot of friends.
- 1:56:59Speaker 15: Let me tell you something, Bill. I was a very
- 1:57:01Speaker 15: popular guy at Yankee Stadium last night.
- 1:57:03Speaker 1: They love me.
- 1:57:04Speaker 15: The fans, the people in the suite, they love me.
- 1:57:06Speaker 1: Love me.
- 1:57:06Speaker 17: Oh, yeah?
- 1:57:07Speaker 1: Oh, yeah.
- 1:57:08Speaker 17: Yeah. Listen, I'm surprised they're up that early, number one.
- 1:57:14Speaker 17: If it were Mickey Mantle and Whitey Ford, they got
- 1:57:17Speaker 17: up at like 2 in the afternoon, just main game time.
- 1:57:20Speaker 1: I know.
- 1:57:22Speaker 17: But we're behind the Yanks, and it should be fun
- 1:57:24Speaker 17: next week. We can't overlook Boston, pretty feisty. And what's
- 1:57:30Speaker 17: his name, that pitcher tonight for Boston is really good.
- 1:57:34Speaker 15: He is very good, but so is Freed. I think
- 1:57:37Speaker 15: the Yankee fear is that if the Red Sox do
- 1:57:39Speaker 15: win tonight, that a guy that's on his way to
- 1:57:42Speaker 15: the Hall of Fame and has been just a dominant
- 1:57:45Speaker 15: pitcher between Houston and the Yankees, Pittsburgh the last decade,
- 1:57:50Speaker 15: but he's been awful the last month and a half.
- 1:57:52Speaker 15: Garrett Cole, Yankee fans are scared to death he may
- 1:57:55Speaker 15: have to pitch game three, so they are praying for
- 1:57:58Speaker 15: a Max Fried win tonight to move on to the
- 1:58:01Speaker 15: best of five against Tampa Bay.
- 1:58:04Speaker 17: Yeah, Sonny Graves is the Boston pitcher.
- 1:58:07Speaker 1: Former Yankee.
- 1:58:09Speaker 17: And Sonny Graves could be the best pitcher in baseball.
- 1:58:14Speaker 1: No, no, no.
- 1:58:15Speaker 15: The best pitcher in baseball pitched for the Yankees last night.
- 1:58:18Speaker 15: He pitched to a 1.98 ERA this year. He's going
- 1:58:21Speaker 15: to win the Cy Young. Big Cam Schlittler.
- 1:58:24Speaker 17: You can make the argument, but Sonny's been around a
- 1:58:27Speaker 17: long time. Yeah, he's good. And he feels very, very good.
- 1:58:30Speaker 1: He is, yes.
- 1:58:32Speaker 17: And look, the spirit of the city, as long as
- 1:58:35Speaker 17: Mamdami doesn't show up, and he's not going to, he
- 1:58:38Speaker 17: sends Spike Lee in his place.
- 1:58:40Speaker 1: Yeah, I saw that.
- 1:58:41Speaker 17: Did you see Spike?
- 1:58:44Speaker 15: Yeah, they put him on the Jumbotron, and I swear
- 1:58:46Speaker 15: to you, nobody clapped. Like, you know, Yankee Stadium, when
- 1:58:50Speaker 15: they show certain people sitting around, the crowd goes nuts.
- 1:58:53Speaker 1: They showed Spike Lee, nobody clapped. You know what's funny?
- 1:58:56Speaker 1: You mentioned that.
- 1:58:57Speaker 15: All the great things, not all, but a lot of
- 1:59:00Speaker 15: the great things we enjoy in New York, okay? Yankee Stadium,
- 1:59:05Speaker 15: he goes nowhere near there, Mom Donnie, okay? The feast,
- 1:59:08Speaker 15: the San Gennaro feast with the great Italian people. He
- 1:59:12Speaker 15: goes nowhere near that. The Columbus Day parade organizers invited
- 1:59:16Speaker 15: this creep, but trust me, he will go nowhere near that.
- 1:59:20Speaker 15: And he only went to the St. Patrick's Day parade
- 1:59:23Speaker 15: this year after that awful speech in the morning where
- 1:59:25Speaker 15: he mentioned the Palestinians in Gaza on St.
- 1:59:28Speaker 1: Patrick's Day.
- 1:59:29Speaker 15: Because I think between Jessica Tisch and the powers that be,
- 1:59:34Speaker 15: he had no choice. But a lot of our big,
- 1:59:36Speaker 15: big days and events and things we love in New York,
- 1:59:39Speaker 15: he's not there.
- 1:59:40Speaker 1: You know why, Bill? Nobody wants him there.
- 1:59:43Speaker 17: You know, he's the most polarizing mayor since de Blasio,
- 1:59:47Speaker 17: and that wasn't that long ago. But at this point,
- 1:59:51Speaker 17: you know, there are about 48% of New Yorkers receiving Medicaid. uh...
- 1:59:59Speaker 17: and that's what driving age people there are a lot
- 2:00:02Speaker 17: of poor people in the city and they're all voting
- 2:00:05Speaker 17: for it you gotta give me stuff i'm not being
- 2:00:08Speaker 17: i'm not deriving that uh... there in bad places they
- 2:00:15Speaker 17: don't have a lot of hope and they're going to
- 2:00:17Speaker 17: the people who say we're going to give you give
- 2:00:20Speaker 17: you give you give you i've always had bernie sanders
- 2:00:24Speaker 17: was dangerous man other than george soros in this country
- 2:00:29Speaker 17: And these guys have made inroads because the numbers in
- 2:00:33Speaker 17: the urban centers are huge. As far as people being
- 2:00:36Speaker 17: on assistance, being dependent on big government, they're there, they
- 2:00:41Speaker 17: cluster into these cities. I mean, you go out into
- 2:00:44Speaker 17: the countryside, you don't have anything. And then they got
- 2:00:48Speaker 17: slapped down by the judge in Staten Island yesterday who said,
- 2:00:51Speaker 17: you know, you can't be arbitrarily telling people they have
- 2:00:54Speaker 17: to pay more tax on a second home. And that's
- 2:00:57Speaker 17: going to continue. That's going to continue as my talking
- 2:01:01Speaker 17: points memo on the.
- 2:01:02Speaker 1: Well, I got breaking news for you. I had Randy
- 2:01:04Speaker 1: Mastro on this morning, and of course he.
- 2:01:08Speaker 15: He was the lawyer for this, and he told me
- 2:01:11Speaker 15: about an hour ago he's not stopping. He's now filed
- 2:01:15Speaker 15: a lawsuit forgetting about just knocking down this period of
- 2:01:19Speaker 15: tax because of the rollout. Now he's saying the whole
- 2:01:22Speaker 15: thing is unconstitutional, and he wants to make sure there
- 2:01:26Speaker 15: is no tax at all because right now they've got
- 2:01:29Speaker 15: to do it over, but you're still going to be taxed.
- 2:01:31Speaker 15: On January the 1st, Mastro says, no, no, no, we
- 2:01:35Speaker 15: don't want this thing out there at all. So a
- 2:01:37Speaker 15: new lawsuit, Randy Mastro trying to get rid of the
- 2:01:41Speaker 15: second home tax altogether.
- 2:01:43Speaker 17: And that inevitably is what's going to save the country.
- 2:01:48Speaker 17: The courts are going to say you can't seize private property,
- 2:01:53Speaker 17: which is what Mandami is doing. He's taking a piece
- 2:01:57Speaker 17: of your property just because you own it. There's no
- 2:02:01Speaker 17: other reason for him to do it. He's going in
- 2:02:04Speaker 17: and he's taking a piece of your property. And that's communism.
- 2:02:10Speaker 17: I've said from the very beginning, you know this, I've
- 2:02:12Speaker 17: said it on Sid and Friends, that Mondani is a
- 2:02:16Speaker 17: hardcore communist, and he is. And he's going to get
- 2:02:20Speaker 17: your stuff no matter how he has to go about it.
- 2:02:23Speaker 17: But the courts are wise to that. There's three Supreme
- 2:02:28Speaker 17: Court justices who they'll vote for Manlami, but the other
- 2:02:32Speaker 17: six won't. So he's going to have a very hard time.
- 2:02:36Speaker 17: getting this communist stuff in place.
- 2:02:39Speaker 1: Thank God.
- 2:02:40Speaker 15: Listen, I'm really looking forward to what we'll do it
- 2:02:42Speaker 15: live with Peter Navarro. I'm not just saying this because
- 2:02:45Speaker 15: I love you. You're my mentor and my favorite, but
- 2:02:47Speaker 15: it's a great podcast and you've done an amazing job
- 2:02:51Speaker 15: with the guests, you know, very diverse group of people
- 2:02:54Speaker 15: getting all the way back with people like Rob Schneider.
- 2:02:56Speaker 15: So Navarro should be great. Enjoy your time at the
- 2:02:59Speaker 15: white house later on this afternoon and we'll do it
- 2:03:02Speaker 15: again next week. Bill O'Reilly, you're the best ever.
- 2:03:04Speaker 1: I mean that. Thank you so much.
- 2:03:06Speaker 17: All right, I hope to see you at the game
- 2:03:08Speaker 17: next week, and go Yanks.
- 2:03:09Speaker 15: Yes, I'll be there with you 100%. Thank you, Bill.
- 2:03:12Speaker 15: Go Yankees is right. Yankees again. They get game one
- 2:03:15Speaker 15: 9-0 last night behind Cam Schlittler, best pitcher in baseball,
- 2:03:19Speaker 15: and Ben Rice. What are you, this kid's at? And ironically,
- 2:03:22Speaker 15: as I told you earlier, both of those guys are
- 2:03:24Speaker 15: from Massachusetts. They stuck it up Boston's ass. They're Massachusetts guys.
- 2:03:30Speaker 15: So we'll do it again tonight. Max Freed on the
- 2:03:31Speaker 15: mound for the Yankees. The Yankees win. They move on
- 2:03:34Speaker 15: and take Tampa Bay. If not, There'll be a deciding
- 2:03:37Speaker 15: game three with Garrett Cole on the mound for the Yanks.
- 2:03:42Speaker 15: That's it for this hour. We'll go to the news.
- 2:03:43Speaker 15: And when we get back, this guy's a big-time guy.
- 2:03:46Speaker 15: He was in the box with us last night. Randy
- 2:03:48Speaker 15: Levine's prox, the president of the Yankees at Yankee Stadium.
- 2:03:52Speaker 3: Sid and friends in the morning on the Red Apple
- 2:03:55Speaker 3: Podcast Network.
- 2:03:57Speaker 15: Thank you for coming in, all you people. We've had
- 2:03:59Speaker 15: a nice run of folks here on Route 17 in Paramus,
- 2:04:03Speaker 15: New Jersey at Electronics Expo. Leon's a great guy, and
- 2:04:07Speaker 15: all the folks that work here are very nice. And
- 2:04:10Speaker 15: I feel like almost all of them like me. There's
- 2:04:11Speaker 15: one or two that just despise me.
- 2:04:13Speaker 1: They hate me. I mean, I can tell right away.
- 2:04:16Speaker 1: Started the show at 6 o'clock.
- 2:04:18Speaker 15: Started yelling about Democrats, called them douchebags, yelled about Mom Donnie.
- 2:04:22Speaker 15: And one or two people here were like, who is
- 2:04:24Speaker 15: this guy?
- 2:04:25Speaker 1: I want to go home.
- 2:04:26Speaker 15: But most of you guys are pretty good. Most of
- 2:04:29Speaker 15: you guys agree with me. But it's a great place
- 2:04:32Speaker 15: and they've got beautiful stuff here. I went downstairs. I'm
- 2:04:35Speaker 15: telling you, it was unreal. I would like that one
- 2:04:38Speaker 15: room downstairs to be my family room. And Leon can
- 2:04:41Speaker 15: make it happen. It's not all that expensive either. Flat
- 2:04:44Speaker 15: screen TVs and it's got home theater systems and all
- 2:04:48Speaker 15: kinds of cool stuff. And this is my hood. I
- 2:04:50Speaker 15: lived in Tenafly for about a year and a half.
- 2:04:53Speaker 15: Ava was a baby. We love this area. And like
- 2:04:56Speaker 15: I said, driving to my mom upstate New York, we
- 2:04:59Speaker 15: take Route 17. The Palisades bores me, so I don't
- 2:05:02Speaker 15: do that. So we come here because, you know, I
- 2:05:04Speaker 15: got to go to Starbucks. I got to go to
- 2:05:05Speaker 15: the bathroom. I got to go to the State Line
- 2:05:07Speaker 15: Diner in Mahwah, New Jersey. So this is my hood
- 2:05:12Speaker 15: my whole life. My dad loved it here, too. So
- 2:05:14Speaker 15: Paramus is a very, very nice area. Very, very lovely people.
- 2:05:19Speaker 15: A lot of Jewish people here, too. Not that that matters,
- 2:05:21Speaker 15: but it does for me. And they're very nice. So
- 2:05:24Speaker 15: this has been a terrific morning. And the sound back
- 2:05:28Speaker 15: in the studio, Lou, the last couple of remotes, when
- 2:05:31Speaker 15: I was with President Trump in Dallas two weeks ago,
- 2:05:34Speaker 15: and Kevin Drosh and, you know, Dino did that one.
- 2:05:37Speaker 1: I know Drosh is going to take it easy.
- 2:05:39Speaker 15: And this morning, Tom and Nino did it again here
- 2:05:42Speaker 15: at Electronics Expo. The remotes have been sounding great, right?
- 2:05:46Speaker 5: Yeah, they both did a great job.
- 2:05:47Speaker 1: It's amazing.
- 2:05:48Speaker 2: Really good, yeah.
- 2:05:49Speaker 15: Because I know in the past, I'd be spending the
- 2:05:51Speaker 15: first 30 minutes.
- 2:05:53Speaker 1: Some of those Israel shows, you were like... Underwater.
- 2:05:56Speaker 18: All right. There were missiles flying through the air.
- 2:06:00Speaker 1: Come on. Different atmosphere, isn't it? All right. I would
- 2:06:03Speaker 1: say so. Well, it's true. I mentioned this girl this morning,
- 2:06:06Speaker 1: this girl, Gatit, and she was the one that grabbed
- 2:06:09Speaker 1: me and said, seed!
- 2:06:11Speaker 3: Seed!
- 2:06:12Speaker 1: Coming to the bomb shelter. We're about to die.
- 2:06:14Speaker 5: Incoming.
- 2:06:15Speaker 1: Yeah, and I really thought we were going to die.
- 2:06:16Speaker 1: I really did. I'm not kidding. And Justin's out there
- 2:06:19Speaker 1: sweating bullets.
- 2:06:20Speaker 18: I'm like, how long do we have to stand here for?
- 2:06:22Speaker 1: I don't understand. Well, you were trying to put the
- 2:06:23Speaker 1: radio equipment together. Yeah.
- 2:06:25Speaker 15: And back then, Curtis Sleevel was still a normal human being.
- 2:06:27Speaker 15: Now I want to know what the hell happened to him.
- 2:06:28Speaker 15: He's a complete jerk off. But back then, he was
- 2:06:31Speaker 15: like a regular guy. And he filled in for us.
- 2:06:33Speaker 15: Did a very, very good job for 10 minutes. Till
- 2:06:36Speaker 15: we actually got on the air and stayed out to Israel.
- 2:06:39Speaker 15: But that story this morning... And I don't know if
- 2:06:42Speaker 15: the World Wide News Network covered it.
- 2:06:44Speaker 1: I have no idea. I'm in the store. I'm not listening.
- 2:06:46Speaker 15: But about that airline where the pilot and co-pilot got
- 2:06:51Speaker 15: into a fight early this morning. And what I'm hearing
- 2:06:55Speaker 15: is that one of them, the plan was to kill
- 2:06:58Speaker 15: the other pilot and then.
- 2:07:00Speaker 1: Crash the airplane into Israel. Crash it and kill a
- 2:07:04Speaker 1: whole bunch of people. Have we had any update on
- 2:07:07Speaker 1: that story, guys? It's been on the updates, though. They
- 2:07:11Speaker 1: have been having it?
- 2:07:12Speaker 15: Have they confirmed that that was a terrorist attack?
- 2:07:17Speaker 5: No, I haven't heard that per se.
- 2:07:19Speaker 1: Well, you see the video, you know, the passengers.
- 2:07:22Speaker 15: And we never saw the video of the brave souls
- 2:07:24Speaker 15: on United Flight 93 that crashed in Shanksville, Pennsylvania on 9-11.
- 2:07:29Speaker 15: But people like Todd Beamer, those names, you know their names.
- 2:07:32Speaker 15: Neil Young wrote the song, Let's Roll. They stormed the
- 2:07:35Speaker 15: cockpit and they fought the terrorists until the plane crashed.
- 2:07:39Speaker 15: Unless you believe President Bush shot the plane out of
- 2:07:42Speaker 15: the sky, that's up to you. Either way, the people
- 2:07:45Speaker 15: on board that plane were heroic. And you see videos,
- 2:07:48Speaker 15: this flight footage, Today, and they're all bloodied. The passengers
- 2:07:52Speaker 15: are literally bloodied. Have you guys seen that?
- 2:07:55Speaker 3: Yep.
- 2:07:56Speaker 20: Yeah.
- 2:07:56Speaker 1: Crazy.
- 2:07:57Speaker 17: It's nuts.
- 2:07:57Speaker 1: It's crazy.
- 2:07:58Speaker 17: Yeah.
- 2:07:58Speaker 1: Crazy. So I had to reach out.
- 2:08:00Speaker 18: To my Israeli family just to double check they didn't
- 2:08:02Speaker 18: know anybody on that flight.
- 2:08:03Speaker 1: Oh, your aunt and uncle?
- 2:08:05Speaker 17: Yeah.
- 2:08:05Speaker 1: Do you know the last time I went to Israel?
- 2:08:07Speaker 1: This is unbelievable.
- 2:08:09Speaker 15: And Justin, it's the only time Justin did not come
- 2:08:11Speaker 15: with me. The last time I went because I didn't work.
- 2:08:14Speaker 15: I took the week off. It was in June around
- 2:08:16Speaker 15: my anniversary. It was a great trip. And I spoke
- 2:08:18Speaker 15: at the JNS.org conference. Louie, I get to the Tel
- 2:08:21Speaker 15: Aviv airport. I'm coming home that night.
- 2:08:23Speaker 1: It's late at night. I'm in Israel.
- 2:08:25Speaker 15: I've never seen a more crowded airport in my whole life, ever.
- 2:08:30Speaker 15: There's like thousands of people trying to get out of Israel.
- 2:08:33Speaker 15: Lady walks over to me. As soon as I walk in,
- 2:08:36Speaker 15: it's Justin's aunt.
- 2:08:38Speaker 5: That's crazy.
- 2:08:39Speaker 1: Do you know that, Justin?
- 2:08:40Speaker 17: Yeah.
- 2:08:41Speaker 22: Uh-huh.
- 2:08:41Speaker 1: That was crazy.
- 2:08:42Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 2:08:43Speaker 1: She had a group of young girls she was taking somewhere.
- 2:08:45Speaker 1: Do you remember, Justin?
- 2:08:47Speaker 18: I don't remember the exact trip, but she does do
- 2:08:49Speaker 18: stuff like that.
- 2:08:50Speaker 1: She's a sweetheart. Your aunt and uncle are great people.
- 2:08:52Speaker 1: She's the best.
- 2:08:53Speaker 18: I don't even have to tell her. When she knows
- 2:08:54Speaker 18: I'm coming, she will spend 12 hours waiting outside the airport.
- 2:08:57Speaker 15: Yeah, they picked us up at the airport a couple
- 2:08:58Speaker 15: of times. And there was one particular time they picked
- 2:09:01Speaker 15: us up. They were in the bomb shelter 35 times
- 2:09:03Speaker 15: that weekend.
- 2:09:05Speaker 1: Yep.
- 2:09:05Speaker 22: 35.
- 2:09:05Speaker 1: Yeah, had to pop out for a quick second and
- 2:09:07Speaker 1: go pick us up from the airport. Yeah, just to
- 2:09:08Speaker 1: pick us up at the airport. God bless your aunt
- 2:09:11Speaker 1: and uncle. What are their names again?
- 2:09:12Speaker 18: Sherry and Benny.
- 2:09:14Speaker 1: Ben, my man Ben. That's right. Very good.
- 2:09:16Speaker 15: I will take a short break. When we get back,
- 2:09:19Speaker 15: he's a phenomenal comedic actor. Happened to be sitting next
- 2:09:22Speaker 15: to me in the president of the New York Yankees
- 2:09:25Speaker 15: box last night.
- 2:09:26Speaker 1: The great Randy.
- 2:09:27Speaker 15: We love Randy. Randy Levine, of course. The Yankees won big.
- 2:09:31Speaker 15: Robert Wall was there. He'll be back there tonight. But first,
- 2:09:35Speaker 15: he'll be on with us. Comedic actor Robert Wall.
- 2:09:38Speaker 3: Sid and Friends in the Morning on the Red Apple
- 2:09:42Speaker 3: Podcast Network.
- 2:09:44Speaker 1: You got my friend Lori from New Jersey, the best
- 2:09:46Speaker 1: real estate agent anywhere in New Jersey. She's here somewhere.
- 2:09:50Speaker 15: So a lot of folks that have come by to
- 2:09:51Speaker 15: say hello this morning, doing the show live from Electronics Expo,
- 2:09:55Speaker 15: Route 17 South, Paramus, New Jersey. But last night at
- 2:09:58Speaker 15: the Yankee game, I saw this guy. I had not
- 2:10:00Speaker 15: seen him for a while, talked to him for a while.
- 2:10:02Speaker 1: I love this guy.
- 2:10:03Speaker 15: He's a great comedic actor, but he's even a better person.
- 2:10:06Speaker 15: And no one Not Costas, not Diamonds, not Russo knows
- 2:10:11Speaker 15: more baseball than this guy, my dear friend Robert Wohl.
- 2:10:15Speaker 1: Robert, good morning, buddy. How are you? I'm fine.
- 2:10:18Speaker 16: That was very kind of you to say. I appreciate that.
- 2:10:19Speaker 1: No, I mean that.
- 2:10:20Speaker 15: You know, and look, I mean, you were famous for
- 2:10:23Speaker 15: the part you played Aulus, the sports agent on HBO.
- 2:10:27Speaker 15: And my generation remembers New Bomb Turk. But that Aulus
- 2:10:30Speaker 15: character was such an amazing, amazing character. And then as
- 2:10:35Speaker 15: I got to know you, I figured out that for
- 2:10:37Speaker 15: you to play a sports agent, isn't that crazy?
- 2:10:40Speaker 1: Because you know a lot about sports.
- 2:10:44Speaker 17: Thank you.
- 2:10:44Speaker 16: Well, I know baseball for sure, and I know human nature.
- 2:10:48Speaker 16: And my father ran a business, which is why I
- 2:10:51Speaker 16: always looked at the show. It was about a guy
- 2:10:54Speaker 16: running a business. And he had a very unique clientele. But, yeah, thanks.
- 2:10:59Speaker 16: But I love baseball. You know, it was great last night.
- 2:11:01Speaker 16: It was great to see, you know, this Yankee team
- 2:11:03Speaker 16: without Judge, without Stanton. They didn't have Chisholm in the lineup.
- 2:11:07Speaker 16: I mean, it was a– and yet the young guys,
- 2:11:11Speaker 16: it's so nice to see Jones– and Lombard and Rice,
- 2:11:16Speaker 16: and their athletic more, which is not for the Yankees usually.
- 2:11:21Speaker 16: I don't want to jump ahead too much about the
- 2:11:22Speaker 16: Yankees because they hit a lot of home runs last night,
- 2:11:25Speaker 16: which the Yankees do.
- 2:11:26Speaker 17: When they win.
- 2:11:27Speaker 16: But what wins championships is two out base hits. It
- 2:11:31Speaker 16: always has. You've got to get that guy home from
- 2:11:33Speaker 16: third with less than two outs, and the Yankees have
- 2:11:35Speaker 16: struggled with that historically in the last decade. So it's
- 2:11:39Speaker 16: one game. It's a big win. But let's keep going.
- 2:11:42Speaker 15: You're right about the two out-base hits, but what else
- 2:11:44Speaker 15: wins championships is pitching. And they've got the best pitcher
- 2:11:47Speaker 15: in baseball in Cam Schlittler, who was again last night
- 2:11:50Speaker 15: the best.
- 2:11:51Speaker 1: Pitcher in baseball. Max Breed, I think, will be great today.
- 2:11:54Speaker 1: He better be because I.
- 2:11:55Speaker 15: Think Yankee fans are scared to death of Garrett Cole
- 2:11:59Speaker 15: in Game 3, which is odd because he's a certain
- 2:12:01Speaker 15: Hall of Famer, one of the all-time greats. They've lost
- 2:12:04Speaker 15: the confidence there. They'd rather see Carlos Redon start game three.
- 2:12:07Speaker 15: But starting pitching, bullpen, also a big deal. I think
- 2:12:11Speaker 15: you'd admit, Robert, the Yankees are pretty strong there too.
- 2:12:13Speaker 15: Maybe the best starting rotation right now in the postseason.
- 2:12:18Speaker 16: Yeah, their rotation should be strong, their rotation. And the
- 2:12:21Speaker 16: closers for the bullpen, their pitching is terrific all year.
- 2:12:24Speaker 16: It carried them, really. I mean, when you think about it,
- 2:12:27Speaker 16: their pitching really was outstanding this year. Again, we'll get
- 2:12:32Speaker 16: to the playoffs. What I do like with the Yankees
- 2:12:35Speaker 16: is I like having Warren in the bullpen. Warren's great
- 2:12:38Speaker 16: for two or three innings. He's always like the first
- 2:12:41Speaker 16: three innings in every game is unhittable. And then he
- 2:12:43Speaker 16: falls apart in the fourth and fifth.
- 2:12:44Speaker 17: So.
- 2:12:45Speaker 16: So if he comes in, I have total confidence in
- 2:12:50Speaker 16: Warren coming in out of the bullpen.
- 2:12:52Speaker 1: No, so do I. So somebody said to me tonight,
- 2:12:54Speaker 1: I forget what it was, last night, I go, wait
- 2:12:56Speaker 1: a second, whoa, that guy, he's an artist. He's won
- 2:13:00Speaker 1: a Yankee hat. I go, yeah, he likes the Yankees.
- 2:13:02Speaker 1: He lives in Los Angeles. Isn't he a Dodger fan?
- 2:13:04Speaker 1: I go, yeah, I don't know.
- 2:13:06Speaker 15: I mean, you do live in Los Angeles. You spend
- 2:13:08Speaker 15: a lot of time in New York. You go back
- 2:13:09Speaker 15: and forth. But are you a Dodger fan or a
- 2:13:12Speaker 15: Yankee fan?
- 2:13:13Speaker 16: Okay, let's back up. First of all, I grew up
- 2:13:15Speaker 16: in Union, New Jersey. You know, I grew up in Union,
- 2:13:19Speaker 16: New Jersey. My dear friend, Lon Bertross, who you know,
- 2:13:23Speaker 16: of course, he and Randy share the box there. You know,
- 2:13:27Speaker 16: he's a family friend for 100 years. And I'm a
- 2:13:30Speaker 16: baseball fan, first and foremost. I love baseball. So I
- 2:13:35Speaker 16: love– and here's my theory in life. Life is always
- 2:13:38Speaker 16: better when the home team wins.
- 2:13:40Speaker 17: And I don't mean that.
- 2:13:42Speaker 16: And I mean that, you know, and I live in
- 2:13:43Speaker 16: New York and LA. I have an apartment here. Thank you, Randy,
- 2:13:46Speaker 16: by the way, for that tap. I appreciate that. I
- 2:13:49Speaker 16: appreciate that a lot.
- 2:13:50Speaker 15: Well, so stop right there because I had Randy Marshall
- 2:13:53Speaker 15: on this show earlier.
- 2:13:54Speaker 8: I know. I know.
- 2:13:55Speaker 16: I was listening earlier.
- 2:13:55Speaker 1: Okay, good.
- 2:13:56Speaker 15: Because he actually said, forget about rolling the thing out
- 2:13:59Speaker 15: all over again. He's saying, we're going to try to
- 2:14:01Speaker 15: squash the whole thing. Even better news for you, Robert.
- 2:14:04Speaker 16: Well, let's hope so. Let's hope so. I like my
- 2:14:06Speaker 16: apartment here. And it is my second home, and I
- 2:14:09Speaker 16: do love coming back. It's New York, and I grew up,
- 2:14:12Speaker 16: like I said, in New Jersey. I grew up during
- 2:14:14Speaker 16: Mantle and Maris. I'm a kid in the 60s. And
- 2:14:18Speaker 16: I went to school in Houston. I used to sell
- 2:14:20Speaker 16: beer in the Astrodome. So I'm a baseball fan. I
- 2:14:25Speaker 16: just love baseball. And by the way, you got anybody...
- 2:14:29Speaker 16: You know, you may have the two best teams actually
- 2:14:31Speaker 16: this year in the leagues were Milwaukee and Tampa Bay.
- 2:14:34Speaker 16: Tampa Bay is a very good team. Beware to Tampa Bay.
- 2:14:38Speaker 16: And both those teams put the bat on the ball,
- 2:14:41Speaker 16: which is what I like in baseball. But what's interesting
- 2:14:43Speaker 16: is anybody who's screaming for a salary cap, you've got
- 2:14:46Speaker 16: two of the bottom five in Tampa Bay, Chicago, and Milwaukee.
- 2:14:49Speaker 16: I think there's three of the lowest paid.
- 2:14:51Speaker 1: They are. Yeah, Cleveland too.
- 2:14:54Speaker 16: Yeah, I mean, so, yeah, exactly. So it hasn't played
- 2:14:58Speaker 16: out yet, but, you know, the salary cap issue, that's
- 2:15:01Speaker 16: a tough one for them to buy when you've got
- 2:15:03Speaker 16: those teams doing that.
- 2:15:03Speaker 1: Oh, listen, I mean, you see that.
- 2:15:04Speaker 15: Look, I mean, I was here in 0-3-2 on the Marlins,
- 2:15:08Speaker 15: not the 97 Marlins, which I sang a boat to
- 2:15:10Speaker 15: win a World Series. The 0-3 guys who no one
- 2:15:12Speaker 15: ever heard of them, Hanley Ramirez and Dan Ugla, they
- 2:15:15Speaker 15: beat the Yankees.
- 2:15:16Speaker 1: So, yeah, we see that. The issue becomes, though, you.
- 2:15:19Speaker 15: Can't, although Tampa Bay under Kevin Cash has been Nothing
- 2:15:22Speaker 15: sort of miraculous, but you can count on certain teams
- 2:15:26Speaker 15: being in it every year. Whether they win it or not,
- 2:15:28Speaker 15: that's a different story. And those are the big market teams.
- 2:15:31Speaker 15: I guess that's their argument.
- 2:15:34Speaker 16: Except for the Mets.
- 2:15:39Speaker 15: Got to take a shot at the Mets. I mean,
- 2:15:40Speaker 15: do you think... that they're really not going to play baseball.
- 2:15:44Speaker 15: I actually spoke to the lawyer. He's friends with my
- 2:15:46Speaker 15: friend Keith Kantrowitz, the guy that's like the new Marvin
- 2:15:48Speaker 15: Miller at an Italian restaurant about a month and a
- 2:15:51Speaker 15: half ago. He did not seem all that confident we'll
- 2:15:55Speaker 15: be playing baseball next year. But then again, I speak
- 2:15:57Speaker 15: to guys the last couple of days in baseball. They go,
- 2:16:00Speaker 15: I think we'll miss a couple of weeks, maybe a
- 2:16:02Speaker 15: couple of months.
- 2:16:04Speaker 1: What do you think?
- 2:16:06Speaker 16: I think nobody knows. That's what I think. I think
- 2:16:08Speaker 16: there will be absolutely be a work stoppage because the
- 2:16:11Speaker 16: contract runs out, I think, November, December. So they'll have
- 2:16:14Speaker 16: a work stoppage then. I don't know. It's not great
- 2:16:18Speaker 16: to think that I just don't see the players folding
- 2:16:22Speaker 16: for a salary cap. I do not see that happening.
- 2:16:25Speaker 16: They work too hard. Now, remember, the salary cap only
- 2:16:28Speaker 16: affects a couple of teams. But I just you know,
- 2:16:31Speaker 16: when teams are selling for billions and billions and billions
- 2:16:34Speaker 16: of dollars, it's hard to say, well, you need a
- 2:16:37Speaker 16: salary cap. You know, it's like, that's a tough one.
- 2:16:40Speaker 16: You know, that's a tough one to do. So I
- 2:16:43Speaker 16: hope I'm wrong. And I hope, you know, we have
- 2:16:44Speaker 16: baseball always. Listen, you know, my wife hasn't been well.
- 2:16:48Speaker 16: So this whole season, baseball saved me because I could
- 2:16:51Speaker 16: watch every, you know, all the games at night from
- 2:16:53Speaker 16: Los Angeles.
- 2:16:54Speaker 1: Is she okay now?
- 2:16:57Speaker 16: It's a struggle now.
- 2:16:59Speaker 1: I'm sorry, Robert.
- 2:16:59Speaker 5: I didn't even know.
- 2:17:00Speaker 1: I apologize. I'm sorry.
- 2:17:02Speaker 17: Oh, that's okay.
- 2:17:02Speaker 9: It's okay.
- 2:17:03Speaker 1: You're married a long time. I'm married. I'm going on
- 2:17:05Speaker 1: 35 years in June. You got to be right there too, no?
- 2:17:08Speaker 16: No, we've been together 46 years.
- 2:17:11Speaker 1: Jesus! I got to tell you, Brian, you know what
- 2:17:14Speaker 1: I learned in this conversation? And I love you like
- 2:17:16Speaker 1: a brother.
- 2:17:17Speaker 15: You mentioned Mickey Mantle, you mentioned Roger Maris, and you
- 2:17:20Speaker 15: married 46 years.
- 2:17:22Speaker 1: I think you're getting old, Rob.
- 2:17:24Speaker 16: Oh, you think?
- 2:17:25Speaker 17: You think? You think?
- 2:17:27Speaker 1: But you still look the same. I saw you last night.
- 2:17:30Speaker 1: You still look like Aldis, God bless you. So I'm glad. But,
- 2:17:33Speaker 1: you know, listen, baseball.
- 2:17:35Speaker 15: Your wife, obviously, I pray that she's going to be okay,
- 2:17:38Speaker 15: and I wish the best for both of you, but.
- 2:17:40Speaker 1: There's nothing else going on, man.
- 2:17:42Speaker 15: Right now in October, if you took away the baseball playoffs,
- 2:17:45Speaker 15: you got college football, you got the National Football League,
- 2:17:48Speaker 15: the Rangers played last night, the Knicks played last night.
- 2:17:50Speaker 15: play in three weeks, you go to April, right? You
- 2:17:52Speaker 15: got the Masters, you get the Final Four. You take
- 2:17:56Speaker 15: away baseball for, like, four months. I can't watch the WNBA.
- 2:17:59Speaker 1: What am I going to do?
- 2:18:01Speaker 16: Yeah, that's, yeah, baseball. Well, the NBA playoffs go on
- 2:18:05Speaker 16: for a while. Hopefully, you know, there'll be baseball back.
- 2:18:09Speaker 16: By the time that ends, thank you about saying I
- 2:18:13Speaker 16: look good. I have to tell you, some of that
- 2:18:15Speaker 16: is because, you know, I'm diabetic. So I was taking Moonjaro.
- 2:18:19Speaker 16: They prescribed me Moonjaro about three, four years ago before
- 2:18:24Speaker 16: we lost weight. So I've lost about 21 pounds. What
- 2:18:28Speaker 16: they don't tell you is that there are side effects
- 2:18:30Speaker 16: to this stuff. I have totally lost my sense of taste.
- 2:18:35Speaker 16: I have no taste anymore.
- 2:18:37Speaker 17: Come on.
- 2:18:38Speaker 16: Yeah, last night I was watching Steven Seagal movies. I
- 2:18:44Speaker 16: was watching Steven Seagal movies, eating British food, and listening
- 2:18:48Speaker 16: to reggae. I've lost all sense of taste.
- 2:18:52Speaker 17: That's funny.
- 2:18:54Speaker 15: No, you know, that is funny. Now, I do see
- 2:18:57Speaker 15: it now, because the last time I saw you, I
- 2:18:59Speaker 15: told you this. I had to drive all the way
- 2:19:01Speaker 15: out to some Papafinko Theater somewhere.
- 2:19:03Speaker 1: I forget where it was with Danielle. Maybe in Connecticut
- 2:19:06Speaker 1: to watch you and Harry Connick. Where was it?
- 2:19:08Speaker 15: Yeah, right, in Jersey. To watch you and Harry Connick Jr.
- 2:19:12Speaker 15: It was a great show. You were great, but you
- 2:19:13Speaker 15: were heavier.
- 2:19:15Speaker 16: I was heavier. I was about 20 pounds heavier. Yeah, absolutely.
- 2:19:18Speaker 15: Well, I'm glad to see that you're doing well. And
- 2:19:21Speaker 15: give me this on the way out. And please come
- 2:19:23Speaker 15: back now through the rest of these playoffs because I
- 2:19:26Speaker 15: do miss having you on the air.
- 2:19:27Speaker 1: You were great again today. Is it going to be
- 2:19:29Speaker 1: the Dodgers and the Yankees?
- 2:19:31Speaker 16: I don't think so.
- 2:19:33Speaker 17: No?
- 2:19:34Speaker 1: Well, I got to tell you, if it's the Brewers
- 2:19:36Speaker 1: and the Rays, Rob Manfred may kill himself. Why?
- 2:19:40Speaker 16: They get paid the same money either way. Their rights
- 2:19:42Speaker 16: are the same either way. They don't kill themselves. And,
- 2:19:45Speaker 16: you know, it's like, so that's a misnomer.
- 2:19:47Speaker 17: Ratings will be.
- 2:19:48Speaker 16: Lower, but he doesn't get paid by ratings.
- 2:19:50Speaker 17: True. He gets paid by the contract.
- 2:19:51Speaker 10: Right.
- 2:19:52Speaker 1: True, true. I get paid by ratings. That's why I
- 2:19:54Speaker 1: bring you on.
- 2:19:55Speaker 16: Yeah, the rest of us, yeah.
- 2:19:57Speaker 1: And I got the best ratings and I got the
- 2:19:59Speaker 1: best guests. So who's it going to be then?
- 2:20:03Speaker 17: Oh, boy.
- 2:20:04Speaker 16: Listen, we all want Yankees, Dodgers. It's a sexier series.
- 2:20:09Speaker 22: Oh, boy.
- 2:20:10Speaker 16: Who's it going to be?
- 2:20:11Speaker 17: You know, right now, the.
- 2:20:13Speaker 16: Team that's playing the best may be San Diego.
- 2:20:16Speaker 1: Right.
- 2:20:17Speaker 16: They opened up a can of whoop-ass last night.
- 2:20:19Speaker 1: On the Cubs. Yeah. Eat nothing.
- 2:20:23Speaker 16: That team's playing very well. I mean, Machado and Tatis
- 2:20:28Speaker 16: are on fire.
- 2:20:29Speaker 17: Yep.
- 2:20:29Speaker 16: So now they've got to play the Dodgers, which has
- 2:20:31Speaker 16: been their arch nemesis. The Dodgers, you know, they still
- 2:20:35Speaker 16: got Mookie Betts. Otani's not 100%, but he's still Otani.
- 2:20:39Speaker 16: They got Freeman. You know, you got those three Hall
- 2:20:40Speaker 16: of Famers. You got some strong pitching. You know, Diaz
- 2:20:44Speaker 16: has not been good. He's been okay the last week
- 2:20:48Speaker 16: or two, but he was awful all year.
- 2:20:50Speaker 1: He was. And injured.
- 2:20:52Speaker 16: Yeah, I mean, San Diego's also got that lights-out bullpen.
- 2:20:56Speaker 16: You get to the sixth inning against San Diego where
- 2:20:58Speaker 16: you've got Morrison and then you've got Mason Miller. That's tough.
- 2:21:02Speaker 16: That's real tough. So, you know, if I had to
- 2:21:06Speaker 16: pick a long shot, obviously, Tampa Bay's tough, too. And
- 2:21:10Speaker 16: Milwaukee's got that ace. They've got a good team. You know,
- 2:21:15Speaker 16: I think I'd be one of those teams. How's that
- 2:21:16Speaker 16: for a bad answer?
- 2:21:18Speaker 1: No, that's a good answer. And I like your Padre answer, too.
- 2:21:20Speaker 15: I got to run because I think we got to
- 2:21:23Speaker 15: close out the show. But you promised to come back
- 2:21:25Speaker 15: a couple more times before the World Series and during
- 2:21:27Speaker 15: the World Series, my friend. It was great seeing you
- 2:21:29Speaker 15: last night, and you sound great this morning.
- 2:21:32Speaker 16: Thanks a lot.
- 2:21:33Speaker 1: All the best. You're the best, Robert Wall. Thank you
- 2:21:36Speaker 1: so much. Really great job. Great job.
- 2:21:38Speaker 15: Robert Wall right there, the amazing comedic actor and a
- 2:21:41Speaker 15: great way to close out the show.
- 2:21:42Speaker 1: I'm like four minutes late. What the heck is going
- 2:21:52Speaker 1: on here?
