  Speaker 1: Sid and Friends in the Morning. Entertaining and informative.
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: On the Red Apple Podcast Network.
• 0:09
  Speaker 3: Congratulations especially to Sid Rosenberg on his induction to the
• 0:14
  Speaker 3: New York State Broadcasters Hall of Fame. I can't believe
• 0:17
  Speaker 3: he didn't make it years ago. Today, Sid forever joins
• 0:21
  Speaker 3: a roll call of some of the greatest legends in
• 0:25
  Speaker 3: the history of New York broadcasting and talk radio. the
• 0:28
  Speaker 3: best in the business, and he's the best in the business.
• 0:31
  Speaker 3: Over many years, Sid has distinguished himself as one of
• 0:34
  Speaker 3: the most authentic and recognizable voices in American Airways. And
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: he's built a smart, loyal, gigantic audience. And I happen
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: to be one of those people in the audience. And
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: I had for a long time, long before I became president.
• 0:50
  Speaker 4: The mayor confirming he will not join any protests when
• 0:53
  Speaker 4: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu arrives in New York City.
• 0:56
  Speaker 4: Fox 5's Morgan Mackay was with the mayor in Long
• 0:58
  Speaker 4: Island City when he made his announcement. And bring us
• 1:01
  Speaker 4: up to speed, Morgan.
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: Hey, Antoine.
• 1:02
  Speaker 5: Well, it's like you said, Mayor Zohra Mamdani making that
• 1:05
  Speaker 5: announcement that he's not going to be attending any protests
• 1:08
  Speaker 5: next week while the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is
• 1:12
  Speaker 5: here in the city for the United Nations General Assembly.
• 1:15
  Speaker 5: Mamdani making this announcement at an unrelated press conference. But
• 1:18
  Speaker 5: Mamdani has been long critical of Netanyahu, calling him.
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: A war criminal for Israel's actions in Gaza.
• 1:25
  Speaker 5: Mamdani also publicly tossed around the idea for months that
• 1:28
  Speaker 5: he might order the NYPD to to arrest Netanyahu when
• 1:31
  Speaker 5: he visits the city, despite privately knowing that he did
• 1:34
  Speaker 5: not have the authority to do so. This has led
• 1:37
  Speaker 5: some Jewish New Yorkers to accuse the mayor of stoking anti-Semitism,
• 1:40
  Speaker 5: which he has denied. But there are several protests planned
• 1:44
  Speaker 5: around the city for next week. The one right now
• 1:46
  Speaker 5: drawing the most attention is planned for next Thursday. Protesters
• 1:50
  Speaker 5: will march from Bryant Park to the United Nations. And
• 1:54
  Speaker 5: around the same time, Netanyahu will be delivering his speech.
• 1:57
  Speaker 5: Even though Mamdani is not going to be joining, back
• 2:00
  Speaker 5: in July, he did tell New Yorkers that if they
• 2:02
  Speaker 5: feel the need to protest Netanyahu, then that right would
• 2:06
  Speaker 5: be protected. Mamdani insisting, though, that this wasn't a call
• 2:11
  Speaker 5: to protest.
• 2:12
  Speaker 6: To New Yorkers, I have never encouraged them to protest.
• 2:16
  Speaker 6: What I have always told them is that they have
• 2:18
  Speaker 6: the right to do so in this city. We respect
• 2:20
  Speaker 6: that right, and this is a city that is proud
• 2:22
  Speaker 6: of the Constitution, proud of the First Amendment, and will continue.
• 2:24
  Speaker 7: To do so.
• 2:25
  Speaker 5: Now, the mayor didn't go into too many details on
• 2:27
  Speaker 5: exactly why he won't be protesting, despite saying that his
• 2:30
  Speaker 5: focus is going to be on the city.
• 2:32
  Speaker 8: The mayor and the NYPD commissioner will.
• 2:34
  Speaker 5: Be holding a security briefing later this week ahead of
• 2:38
  Speaker 5: the United Nations General Assembly next week.
• 2:41
  Speaker 9: The Federal Reserve hiking interest rates for the first time
• 2:44
  Speaker 9: since 2023, affecting mortgages, car loans, credit cards. The chair
• 2:47
  Speaker 9: of the Federal Reserve pointing to the war in Iran
• 2:50
  Speaker 9: and to inflation here in the U.S. Elizabeth Schulze asking
• 2:53
  Speaker 9: the new Fed chair, how will this help consumers? And
• 2:56
  Speaker 9: what is his message to the president?
• 2:59
  Speaker 10: With the war in Iran driving up prices, the Federal
• 3:02
  Speaker 10: Reserve hiked interest rates for the first time in three years.
• 3:06
  Speaker 10: President Trump's new handpicked Fed chairman, Kevin Walsh, defying the
• 3:10
  Speaker 10: president's calls to cut rates, saying instead the Fed needed
• 3:13
  Speaker 10: to raise rates now to tame stubborn inflation.
• 3:16
  Speaker 9: Plain fact is that inflation is too high and has
• 3:21
  Speaker 9: been for too long.
• 3:22
  Speaker 10: Even after the announcement, the president doubling down.
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: The interest rates are too high. We should be paying
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: the lowest interest rate anywhere in the world.
• 3:31
  Speaker 10: Today's rate hike means the cost of credit cards, car loans,
• 3:34
  Speaker 10: and mortgages will go up. A 30-year fixed mortgage is
• 3:37
  Speaker 10: already over 7%.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: It's frustrating.
• 3:42
  Speaker 10: That's leaving first-time homebuyers like David Sekula in Virginia priced
• 3:46
  Speaker 10: out of the market.
• 3:47
  Speaker 6: It can be difficult to, you know, start the next
• 3:50
  Speaker 6: chapter of your life where you're limited.
• 3:52
  Speaker 10: Since the start of the war, the typical household has
• 3:55
  Speaker 10: spent an extra $ 930 in energy costs. Gas is now $ 4. 42
• 3:59
  Speaker 10: a gallon and diesel at a record $ 6. 30 a gallon.
• 4:05
  Speaker 10: The lifeblood of the economy, diesel is used to transport
• 4:08
  Speaker 10: just about everything, pushing up the price of groceries, clothes
• 4:11
  Speaker 10: and packages.
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: This is my combine.
• 4:13
  Speaker 10: Illinois farmer John Bartman has seen the cost of diesel soar.
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: We use 300 gallons of diesel a day. So now
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: we're talking $ 1, 800 a day.
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: Last year, that was.
• 4:24
  Speaker 12: About $ 1, 000 to fill up my machine.
• 4:28
  Speaker 10: We asked the Fed chair how today's rate hike will
• 4:31
  Speaker 10: bring relief. What will this move today actually do for
• 4:34
  Speaker 10: American consumers? And I have to ask, what is your
• 4:37
  Speaker 10: message here to President Trump, who has repeatedly called to
• 4:40
  Speaker 10: cut interest rates, not raise them?
• 4:41
  Speaker 6: I've got nothing for you on a discussion with the president.
• 4:45
  Speaker 9: Some months ago, I said we will deliver stable prices.
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: Today's action is consistent with that.
• 4:50
  Speaker 10: David, the Dow dropped more than 600 points after the
• 4:53
  Speaker 10: Fed's decision, but the Fed chair making it clear that
• 4:56
  Speaker 10: this rate hike is necessary to slow inflation.
• 4:59
  Speaker 13: And I just want to say, as we wrap, you know,
• 5:04
  Speaker 13: I just personally want to thank you for like doing
• 5:08
  Speaker 13: what you do and speaking.
• 5:10
  Speaker 8: Out in the way that you do about where we
• 5:11
  Speaker 8: are in the world.
• 5:13
  Speaker 13: There's a lot of people that are asked to speak
• 5:17
  Speaker 13: truth to power, and they're usually members of the margins.
• 5:22
  Speaker 13: There are people that are young, don't really have as
• 5:26
  Speaker 13: much currency or a footing as other people. It's often
• 5:32
  Speaker 13: people of color.
• 5:32
  Speaker 8: It's often women.
• 5:33
  Speaker 13: And to see a person like yourself, the age that
• 5:37
  Speaker 13: you are and the status that you are, it reminds
• 5:39
  Speaker 13: me of the best way I can describe it is when.
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: Listen to this.
• 5:45
  Speaker 13: It's like if someone's giving a terrible speech at a
• 5:48
  Speaker 13: wedding and they're ruining the wedding and the wedding is
• 5:52
  Speaker 13: America and, and there's another adult who says like, we
• 5:58
  Speaker 13: don't talk like that. That's not how you're supposed to
• 5:59
  Speaker 13: treat people. This is insane. It makes everybody feel very safe.
• 6:04
  Speaker 13: And so I've seen you do it over and over
• 6:06
  Speaker 13: again and I really appreciate it.
• 6:07
  Speaker 12: Thank you.
• 6:11
  Speaker 14: Yeah.
• 6:11
  Speaker 13: It means a lot to a lot of people because it's,
• 6:13
  Speaker 13: You're standing up for a lot of people who don't
• 6:15
  Speaker 13: have the power to do that. So thank you, Bob.
• 6:18
  Speaker 13: And thanks for doing it over and over again. And
• 6:20
  Speaker 13: this is going to be a real switcheroo because I
• 6:21
  Speaker 13: can't believe I just made you cry. I feel incredible
• 6:24
  Speaker 13: right now.
• 6:25
  Speaker 7: Hold on.
• 6:25
  Speaker 8: We got to get you your tissues.
• 6:28
  Speaker 12: Thanks.
• 6:30
  Speaker 8: We got good hang tissues for you, Bob.
• 6:32
  Speaker 15: But it's true.
• 6:33
  Speaker 7: It's true.
• 6:34
  Speaker 12: It is.
• 6:34
  Speaker 13: You know, there's not a lot of men who in
• 6:37
  Speaker 13: your position who do that.
• 6:39
  Speaker 14: And white men.
• 6:41
  Speaker 13: Of a certain age, like who, who frankly, you know,
• 6:44
  Speaker 13: have a ton of power and don't use that responsibility
• 6:47
  Speaker 13: in a way that they could.
• 6:48
  Speaker 14: So thank you.
• 6:49
  Speaker 12: Yeah, of course.
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: I don't, it's so upsetting to see what's happening in
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: this country. And it's so crazy.
• 6:59
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: It's not like it's, I mean, in a way that's
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: better than it's so blatant because this will happen again.
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: And this guy will influence.
• 7:12
  Speaker 4: People, and they'll come up and they'll say, well, I
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: can do it this way or that way, and we
• 7:17
  Speaker 4: have to always be on guard with what's happening now.
• 7:21
  Speaker 15: What do you say to.
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: People who feel very hopeless?
• 7:23
  Speaker 13: Because hopelessness sometimes paralyzes people.
• 7:28
  Speaker 8: I understand that, but you have to fight.
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: You have to fight, because if you don't fight, you're
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: not going to get anything.
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 7:37
  Speaker 15: Well, it's no secret I'm good friends with WABC radio
• 7:39
  Speaker 15: host Sid Rosenberg, and I know he has a meeting
• 7:41
  Speaker 15: coming up with Vice President J.D.
• 7:42
  Speaker 4: Vance.
• 7:43
  Speaker 15: And I am curious, just like many Americans, where does J.D.
• 7:47
  Speaker 15: Vance stand on his friend Tucker, who agrees with Abdul
• 7:50
  Speaker 15: Rahman El-Sayed? Yeah, backed by DSA, aligns with Assam Piker,
• 7:54
  Speaker 15: who said America deserved 9-11. The issue here would be
• 7:58
  Speaker 15: the vice president's inner circle, and if he became president,
• 8:01
  Speaker 15: the inner circle. Why would we ever want a president
• 8:03
  Speaker 15: who associates with people who support Islamist terrorists? Let us
• 8:07
  Speaker 15: never forget that Abdul Al-Sayed's mom worked for a global
• 8:11
  Speaker 15: terrorist group accused of funding bin Laden. His father-in-law was
• 8:15
  Speaker 15: president of CARE Michigan. Kerr was an unindicted co-conspirator in
• 8:18
  Speaker 15: the largest Hamas terror financing case in U.S. history. Kerr
• 8:21
  Speaker 15: denies the allegations. So the point is, we don't want
• 8:25
  Speaker 15: a president or vice president who pals around with people
• 8:28
  Speaker 15: who support Islamist terrorists.
• 8:30
  Speaker 4: We've got big news around here at WABC.
• 8:32
  Speaker 16: Sid in the morning, Sid and friends in the morning,
• 8:34
  Speaker 16: Sid Rosenberg will be going to the White House to
• 8:38
  Speaker 16: sit down with J.D.
• 8:39
  Speaker 4: Vance.
• 8:40
  Speaker 12: J.D.
• 8:41
  Speaker 16: Vance, the vice president of the United States, wants to
• 8:43
  Speaker 16: see Sid. Now, what are they going to talk over?
• 8:47
  Speaker 16: Jewish issues, Israel issues, J.D. Vance, I believe unfairly is
• 8:52
  Speaker 16: taking heat.
• 8:54
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 8:54
  Speaker 16: Some people implying or outright saying that he's anti-Semite because
• 8:57
  Speaker 16: he hangs out with with Tucker Carlson sometimes.
• 9:01
  Speaker 4: I don't believe Tucker Carlson's an anti-Semite, but whatever. They
• 9:05
  Speaker 4: keep telling me.
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: You got to listen to this.
• 9:06
  Speaker 4: You got to watch that podcast. I do.
• 9:08
  Speaker 16: And I I just I haven't heard it yet. I
• 9:11
  Speaker 16: have not heard that. I hate anti-Semitism. I love Israel.
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: I hate Hamas.
• 9:16
  Speaker 16: Israel has behaved magnificently in the aftermath of October 7th,
• 9:21
  Speaker 16: that atrocity. They bent over backwards to not harm innocent
• 9:26
  Speaker 16: women and children.
• 9:27
  Speaker 4: All right. I am all in.
• 9:29
  Speaker 16: And the other thing about this genocide, my ass.
• 9:33
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: No more.
• 9:35
  Speaker 4: What they do is they will. They marginalized the meaning
• 9:38
  Speaker 4: of genocide.
• 9:39
  Speaker 16: Genocide is the organized extermination of a race, of an
• 9:43
  Speaker 16: entire country.
• 9:45
  Speaker 4: Have you looked at Gaza lately?
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: They just say it.
• 9:49
  Speaker 16: They say genocide just like they said January 6th, insurrection.
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: And it makes some people, even on my side, like, oh,
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: you've got.
• 9:56
  Speaker 4: A point there. OK, we'll just stop talking. No, no,
• 10:00
  Speaker 4: be like Sid.
• 10:02
  Speaker 16: Sid got himself to the State of the Union as
• 10:05
  Speaker 16: the guest of a congressman. Here's Joe Biden saying wrong figures,
• 10:11
  Speaker 16: saying that there's a genocide.
• 10:13
  Speaker 4: And listen to the voice in the background in the
• 10:14
  Speaker 4: middle of Joe's speech. Cut one.
• 10:17
  Speaker 17: More than 30,000 Palestinians have been killed.
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: Most of whom are not Hamas.
• 10:25
  Speaker 4: Says who? Says who?
• 10:29
  Speaker 16: He said it with the casualness of a guy angry
• 10:31
  Speaker 16: at his television, right?
• 10:33
  Speaker 4: Says who?
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: It was almost like it was Sid's house.
• 10:35
  Speaker 4: Can I hear it one more time, please? I love it.
• 10:37
  Speaker 12: More than 30,000 Palestinians have been killed, most of whom
• 10:42
  Speaker 12: are not Hamas.
• 10:43
  Speaker 4: Says who? Says who?
• 10:48
  Speaker 14: Well.
• 10:49
  Speaker 16: What Sid was getting at, it's coming from this, basically,
• 10:52
  Speaker 16: the Hamas health ministry. And they're artificially exaggerating the numbers
• 10:57
  Speaker 16: to garner world sympathy, right? All right, so he's a
• 11:00
  Speaker 16: big defender of the Jews. And, of course, Sid himself
• 11:03
  Speaker 16: is Jewish. And a big meeting between him and J.D.
• 11:08
  Speaker 4: Vance. All right, my fellow Marine, by the way. A
• 11:11
  Speaker 4: kick-ass way to start your Thursday morning. A lot in there.
• 11:15
  Speaker 4: You know, I asked Katsimatidis on Monday. And John is
• 11:20
  Speaker 4: about as smart as anybody. What he thought, I said,
• 11:24
  Speaker 4: how could Kevin Warsh, the new chairman of the Fed,
• 11:28
  Speaker 4: possibly raise interest rates? They haven't been raised in about
• 11:33
  Speaker 4: three years. He was handpicked by President Trump. And John, again,
• 11:38
  Speaker 4: who's smarter than me, said he's not going to. Well,
• 11:41
  Speaker 4: he did. And I know Trump is pissed, real pissed.
• 11:48
  Speaker 4: But according to Warsh, The only way to combat this inflation,
• 11:52
  Speaker 4: which is still way too high, not nearly, not even
• 11:55
  Speaker 4: close to what it was in the Biden era, but
• 11:59
  Speaker 4: still too high today, is to have no choice. So
• 12:05
  Speaker 4: now if you want to buy a house, 30-year mortgage
• 12:09
  Speaker 4: as high as 7%, you want to get a car loan,
• 12:12
  Speaker 4: your bank loan, All these car loans, I said that already,
• 12:17
  Speaker 4: but all these things now come at a price. And,
• 12:21
  Speaker 4: you know, we keep talking about affordability. That seems to
• 12:24
  Speaker 4: be the number one issue with these midterms coming up.
• 12:29
  Speaker 4: And when you raise interest rates two months before, that's
• 12:34
  Speaker 4: not great for Trump. So Trump is pissed. He handpicks
• 12:37
  Speaker 4: Kevin Walsh, and Walsh basically puts in his ass.
• 12:43
  Speaker 11: Is that not right, Norm?
• 12:46
  Speaker 4: I'm not sure you'd put it.
• 12:46
  Speaker 11: That way, but.
• 12:48
  Speaker 18: I wouldn't put it that way, but I will point
• 12:50
  Speaker 18: out that he doesn't have the final say.
• 12:51
  Speaker 8: There's a board that takes a vote, and it was
• 12:54
  Speaker 8: a unanimous vote.
• 12:55
  Speaker 17: I know.
• 12:56
  Speaker 4: Everybody thought the same way.
• 12:57
  Speaker 18: He can't then say after the unanimous vote, no, no, sorry,
• 13:00
  Speaker 18: I'm going to do my own thing.
• 13:01
  Speaker 8: It doesn't work that way.
• 13:02
  Speaker 4: It does not work that way. So that story is
• 13:04
  Speaker 4: in there, Mamdani and Phoebe, but of course the big one,
• 13:07
  Speaker 4: and I've got to thank my colleague and friend. We're
• 13:10
  Speaker 4: actually very good friends. Very good friends. It wasn't always
• 13:13
  Speaker 4: the case. We had some issues. years ago but they
• 13:17
  Speaker 4: have since been resolved and now Sid Rosenberg and Greg
• 13:22
  Speaker 4: Kelly are great friends and he's a terrific talent he
• 13:25
  Speaker 4: really is he does a great show and that was
• 13:28
  Speaker 4: very sweet what Greg Kelly said yesterday he seems to
• 13:32
  Speaker 4: be impressed that somehow I've made my way to the
• 13:36
  Speaker 4: White House coming up later on today but the meeting
• 13:39
  Speaker 4: is um is scheduled for 245 anything can happen They
• 13:43
  Speaker 4: can still cancel this, you know, Noam. You don't know.
• 13:46
  Speaker 4: I mean, Politico, who's huge, you know how big Politico is, Noam.
• 13:51
  Speaker 8: Politico is read by a lot of people, yeah.
• 13:53
  Speaker 4: A lot of people, millions, comes out with a story.
• 13:56
  Speaker 4: Moments ago this morning, it's a picture of me speaking
• 14:00
  Speaker 4: at the rally for President Trump at Madison Square Garden,
• 14:04
  Speaker 4: which was nine days, to be exact, nine days before
• 14:09
  Speaker 4: President Trump won that election in 2024. Nice picture. And ironically,
• 14:16
  Speaker 4: I'm speaking, pointing to the crowd. And of course, the
• 14:19
  Speaker 4: podium reads, Trump will fix it. Trump Vance 2024. So J.D. Vance,
• 14:27
  Speaker 4: his name is right there in this picture. And it reads, J.D.
• 14:32
  Speaker 4: Vance faces test in White House meeting with Israel backing
• 14:37
  Speaker 4: radio host. The meeting with New York-based Sid Rosenberg comes
• 14:44
  Speaker 4: as Vance tries to court skeptical Jewish Republicans ahead of
• 14:50
  Speaker 4: a likely 2028 run. So just so you know, in
• 14:55
  Speaker 4: this column, this was done by Chris Sommerfeld. He used
• 14:59
  Speaker 4: to work for the New York Daily News. Now he's
• 15:02
  Speaker 4: at Politico. I do say this, Noam, which probably isn't
• 15:07
  Speaker 4: great for me today, but I got to be honest,
• 15:10
  Speaker 4: I do say he's not my first choice. I'm a
• 15:14
  Speaker 4: Marco guy, Rosenberg said, referring to Secretary of State Marco Rubio,
• 15:20
  Speaker 4: who's also rumored as a possible 2028 candidate. If it
• 15:25
  Speaker 4: turns out, Rosenberg says, that Marco doesn't run and J.D.
• 15:29
  Speaker 4: wins the primary in the end, if J.D. is the
• 15:32
  Speaker 4: last man standing, I will support him. So for all
• 15:36
  Speaker 4: you folks out there, that are breaking my balls. Why
• 15:39
  Speaker 4: would you go see him? Many more are saying, why
• 15:42
  Speaker 4: does he want to see you? I get that. But
• 15:44
  Speaker 4: get over it. It is what it is. I've got power.
• 15:47
  Speaker 4: I've got influence.
• 15:48
  Speaker 7: A lot.
• 15:48
  Speaker 12: Okay?
• 15:49
  Speaker 4: Get over it. But why would I go see him?
• 15:51
  Speaker 4: Because I'm a Republican. He's the Vice President of the
• 15:55
  Speaker 4: United States. Right now, until Marco announces he's running, he
• 15:59
  Speaker 4: is the odds-on favorite by a mile, even over Ted Cruz.
• 16:03
  Speaker 4: So it's in the best interest of of both J.D. Vance,
• 16:08
  Speaker 4: friend of President Trump and Republican trying to win, and
• 16:11
  Speaker 4: Sid Rosenberg, MAGA Republican, to have a relationship. And that's
• 16:16
  Speaker 4: really what this meeting is about today. You know, I
• 16:19
  Speaker 4: think that Vance's people are a little ticked off, to
• 16:22
  Speaker 4: be honest, because, you know, people like Chris Sommerfeld and
• 16:26
  Speaker 4: Politico and others have been tweeting, they're making it sound
• 16:30
  Speaker 4: like this is some type of huge cabinet meeting, you know,
• 16:35
  Speaker 4: It's not. I told you guys this for days. To
• 16:39
  Speaker 4: be honest, I don't know J.D.
• 16:41
  Speaker 12: Vance.
• 16:42
  Speaker 4: I'm good friends, very good friends with President Trump. And
• 16:46
  Speaker 4: I've had a great friendship over 16 years with Marco Rubio.
• 16:50
  Speaker 4: We text each other. I don't know Vance. You know,
• 16:53
  Speaker 4: I've never shaken his hand. I've never said hello to him.
• 16:57
  Speaker 4: None of that. So today, really, more than.
• 17:02
  Speaker 4: Tucker Carlson or Israel. And don't get me wrong. All
• 17:05
  Speaker 4: that's going to be discussed. I'm not going to sit
• 17:07
  Speaker 4: there for an hour and tell him how good he looks.
• 17:10
  Speaker 4: All that is going to be discussed. But really the
• 17:13
  Speaker 4: reason for today's meeting is, hey, J.D., I'm Sid. Hey, Sid,
• 17:19
  Speaker 4: I'm J.D.
• 17:19
  Speaker 12: How are you?
• 17:21
  Speaker 4: That's really the basis of this meeting is to get
• 17:25
  Speaker 4: to know each other, say hello, and then at some
• 17:29
  Speaker 4: point have a conversation, which will include some of the
• 17:33
  Speaker 4: things that I think he's doing wrong, and don't say,
• 17:36
  Speaker 4: why would he care?
• 17:37
  Speaker 12: He cares.
• 17:38
  Speaker 4: If he didn't care, I wouldn't be there today, right?
• 17:42
  Speaker 4: Do you think J.D. Vance is doing this to appease
• 17:45
  Speaker 4: President Trump? I don't think so. So the main reason
• 17:50
  Speaker 4: why this meeting is taking place today was, is so
• 17:54
  Speaker 4: that J.D. Vance and I can get to know each
• 17:57
  Speaker 4: other a little bit. Then we'll discuss some issues. Then
• 18:02
  Speaker 4: I'll go to the president's Oval Office. And then I'll
• 18:05
  Speaker 4: hop back on the train with my beautiful wife and
• 18:07
  Speaker 4: come home. What do you think, though?
• 18:09
  Speaker 8: That sounds like a day.
• 18:10
  Speaker 18: Now, did they tell you exactly how long you'll have
• 18:13
  Speaker 18: with the vice president?
• 18:14
  Speaker 4: Somewhere between 30 and 60 minutes, closer to 60. is
• 18:18
  Speaker 4: what they thought.
• 18:19
  Speaker 8: Right, if he finds you entertaining, he'll keep you there
• 18:21
  Speaker 8: for 60 minutes.
• 18:21
  Speaker 4: Right, and odds are he will.
• 18:23
  Speaker 8: You know, they put out a statement. I don't know
• 18:25
  Speaker 8: if you saw that.
• 18:26
  Speaker 4: You know, I did see that. So not only did
• 18:28
  Speaker 4: Politico write this big piece, which will end up getting
• 18:31
  Speaker 4: millions of views today, but because they became aware of
• 18:35
  Speaker 4: the piece, Vance's team was like, hey, hey, hey, look, again,
• 18:39
  Speaker 4: this is not a cabinet meeting. This is not Rosenberg,
• 18:43
  Speaker 4: you know, writing this. what we're going to do moving forward.
• 18:46
  Speaker 4: This is basically a hello, and I think the statement
• 18:49
  Speaker 4: which you're about to read to me kind of speaks
• 18:52
  Speaker 4: to that, yes?
• 18:52
  Speaker 12: It does.
• 18:53
  Speaker 18: Well, it said the vice, this is the spokesman for
• 18:55
  Speaker 18: the vice president, says the vice president was unfortunately not
• 18:58
  Speaker 18: able to meet with him, meeting you in Las Vegas
• 19:01
  Speaker 18: during that Jewish leadership summit, and of course wanted to
• 19:04
  Speaker 18: make time to meet with him in Washington.
• 19:06
  Speaker 8: That was their statement.
• 19:07
  Speaker 12: That was it?
• 19:08
  Speaker 4: Oh, because I think initially they said in the statement
• 19:10
  Speaker 4: that The vice president knows that POTUS and Rosenberg have
• 19:15
  Speaker 4: been friends for a long time. So why wouldn't he
• 19:18
  Speaker 4: want to meet Rosenberg?
• 19:20
  Speaker 8: Maybe there's a second part to that.
• 19:21
  Speaker 12: Maybe.
• 19:22
  Speaker 4: I think there is. Because, yeah, we also discussed possibly
• 19:25
  Speaker 4: meeting in Dallas last week. We were both there. And J.D.
• 19:28
  Speaker 4: actually put on a really good speech. But that never happened.
• 19:31
  Speaker 4: So what is it again? What did they say?
• 19:32
  Speaker 18: They said the vice president was unfortunately not able to
• 19:36
  Speaker 18: meet with him in Las Vegas during the RJC leadership
• 19:39
  Speaker 18: summit and, of course, wanted to make time to meet
• 19:41
  Speaker 18: with him in Washington.
• 19:42
  Speaker 4: Okay, very good. Well, I'm looking forward to it. I'm
• 19:45
  Speaker 4: looking forward to it, okay? I don't dislike J.D.
• 19:47
  Speaker 15: Vance.
• 19:47
  Speaker 4: I don't hate J.D.
• 19:48
  Speaker 16: Vance.
• 19:49
  Speaker 4: Not even a little. Clearly, I'm in full disagreement with
• 19:55
  Speaker 4: some of the things that he says. I can't stand
• 19:59
  Speaker 4: Tucker Carlson. I hate Tucker Carlson. Hate him. Like I
• 20:02
  Speaker 4: hate Mom Donnie. In fact, I'm not even sure what
• 20:04
  Speaker 4: the difference is anymore between Tucker Carlson and Mayor Mom Donnie.
• 20:08
  Speaker 4: I really don't. This guy, Tucker Carlson, to actually publicly
• 20:13
  Speaker 4: endorse El-Sayed in Michigan, who's a terrorist. I'm not using
• 20:19
  Speaker 4: terrorist supporter. I'm not using terrorist sympathizer. Once you do that,
• 20:24
  Speaker 4: you yourself are a terrorist. That's what I said about
• 20:27
  Speaker 4: Mom Donnie. I haven't changed. I'm saying the same thing
• 20:31
  Speaker 4: about the guy running for Senate in Michigan. And Tucker...
• 20:34
  Speaker 4: is so angry at this country. He hates this country
• 20:38
  Speaker 4: so much. And he hates President Trump. And he hates Israel.
• 20:43
  Speaker 4: And he hates Bibi. What is he like? What is
• 20:46
  Speaker 4: he like, this fool? That he's going to go out
• 20:48
  Speaker 4: there and publicly endorse El-Sayed? Come on. This is crazy.
• 20:54
  Speaker 4: So everybody knows I don't like Tucker. And J.D. knows that.
• 20:59
  Speaker 4: And I don't like the fact that he used the
• 21:00
  Speaker 4: word subservient two days ago in describing the relationship between
• 21:05
  Speaker 4: the United States and Israel. That's not right. You got
• 21:10
  Speaker 4: 10 other Middle Eastern countries, Qatar, other countries, Turkey, Pakistan.
• 21:15
  Speaker 4: Why didn't you use the word subservient for them? Why
• 21:18
  Speaker 4: single out Israel all the time? To me, like in tennis,
• 21:23
  Speaker 4: that's an unforced error by the vice president. It's dumb.
• 21:27
  Speaker 12: It's dumb.
• 21:28
  Speaker 4: Because if he's going to win, if Marco Rubio does
• 21:32
  Speaker 4: decide to run, that'll be a hotly contested primary. Vance
• 21:37
  Speaker 4: will still be the favorite. I know you guys don't
• 21:39
  Speaker 4: understand that because you have no idea what you're talking about.
• 21:42
  Speaker 4: Vance will still be the favorite to beat Marco Rubio.
• 21:45
  Speaker 4: But he is losing Jewish voters and Trump supporters every
• 21:52
  Speaker 4: day when he refers, when his best friend, Tucker... refers
• 21:57
  Speaker 4: to Trump as the Antichrist and he calls the United
• 22:01
  Speaker 4: States subservient to Israel. Those are those are not going
• 22:05
  Speaker 4: to help him. You know what I'm saying?
• 22:07
  Speaker 8: No, I hear what you're saying.
• 22:08
  Speaker 18: You know, I think it's going to be interesting when
• 22:10
  Speaker 18: you meet him today, because, you know, with Donald Trump,
• 22:13
  Speaker 18: you guys have a lot in common.
• 22:14
  Speaker 8: In some ways, you're the same people.
• 22:16
  Speaker 4: Same guy. He's from Queens up on Brooklyn.
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: Same guy.
• 22:19
  Speaker 18: So you understand each other. You're entertained by each other.
• 22:23
  Speaker 18: You could talk all day.
• 22:24
  Speaker 8: With J.D. Vance, you know, he's from some small town.
• 22:27
  Speaker 4: He's a redneck.
• 22:28
  Speaker 8: In Ohio.
• 22:28
  Speaker 4: Yeah, he's a redneck from Ohio. I'm a Jew from Brooklyn.
• 22:31
  Speaker 4: Can you find two different, more different people?
• 22:33
  Speaker 8: I mean, maybe there'll be some common points.
• 22:35
  Speaker 18: You know, his, I don't know if you read his book,
• 22:37
  Speaker 18: but he wrote a fantastic book.
• 22:40
  Speaker 12: So good.
• 22:41
  Speaker 18: And his, you know, his mom and other people around
• 22:43
  Speaker 18: him were all either alcohol or drug addicts. And he
• 22:47
  Speaker 18: survived all that to, you know, pull himself up by himself.
• 22:51
  Speaker 18: There was nobody helping him to become what he became today.
• 22:54
  Speaker 18: And so maybe there's something in that and that he
• 22:56
  Speaker 18: had people around him and that, you know, had troubles.
• 23:00
  Speaker 18: And you can understand some of that from your past.
• 23:03
  Speaker 18: So I think there's some common.
• 23:05
  Speaker 4: Absolutely.
• 23:05
  Speaker 8: Something common there.
• 23:06
  Speaker 4: We also both love Emily in Paris.
• 23:10
  Speaker 8: I forgot about that.
• 23:10
  Speaker 4: That's a big one.
• 23:11
  Speaker 11: Yeah.
• 23:12
  Speaker 4: The star of that show happens to be Bill Collins' daughter.
• 23:14
  Speaker 4: She's excellent in that.
• 23:15
  Speaker 8: And by the way, he's not going to back down from.
• 23:18
  Speaker 18: Tucker because tucker's a friend of his so that'll be
• 23:21
  Speaker 18: just a place where you don't agree.
• 23:23
  Speaker 4: On things i know but i'm gonna have to explain
• 23:25
  Speaker 4: to him that if you want to win the presidency
• 23:30
  Speaker 4: sometimes you have to distance yourself if not remove yourself
• 23:34
  Speaker 4: from certain people if he was just an everyday citizen
• 23:38
  Speaker 4: sure tucker's my buddy like i said a couple days
• 23:41
  Speaker 4: ago david duke is my buddy i like osama bin
• 23:44
  Speaker 4: laden who cares But you can't be that stubborn, Noam,
• 23:48
  Speaker 4: when you're running for president of the United States. If
• 23:51
  Speaker 4: you want to win, if you really want to win, unfortunately,
• 23:55
  Speaker 4: you have to take into account how the voters feel.
• 23:58
  Speaker 12: Right.
• 23:59
  Speaker 4: But a lot of you can't just say I'm friends
• 24:00
  Speaker 4: with Tucker F.U.
• 24:02
  Speaker 8: OK, great. But he can because a lot of those
• 24:04
  Speaker 8: Tucker supporters will be J.D.
• 24:06
  Speaker 4: Vance supporters.
• 24:06
  Speaker 12: Yeah.
• 24:06
  Speaker 4: But the question is, are there more Tucker supporters out there?
• 24:11
  Speaker 4: compared to the amount of Jewish and Trump supporters out there?
• 24:14
  Speaker 4: The answer is no.
• 24:15
  Speaker 8: I don't know about that.
• 24:16
  Speaker 4: I know that.
• 24:17
  Speaker 12: I know that.
• 24:18
  Speaker 4: I know that. By the way, a lot of Tucker's support,
• 24:21
  Speaker 4: and you can look this up, even though those people
• 24:23
  Speaker 4: listen to his dreadful podcast, they're not even from here.
• 24:27
  Speaker 4: They're Arabs, other countries. They love him. They love him.
• 24:31
  Speaker 4: I am telling you, without a shadow of a doubt,
• 24:34
  Speaker 4: that Tucker does not have more, what's the word I'm
• 24:38
  Speaker 4: looking for, support, than the combination of Jews and Trump
• 24:42
  Speaker 4: supporters in this country. It's not even close. So if
• 24:47
  Speaker 4: you want to yell and scream, Tucker's my buddy, at
• 24:50
  Speaker 4: the risk of losing the presidency, that's stupid. So be
• 24:54
  Speaker 4: his friend, but don't stick in people's face, you know,
• 24:58
  Speaker 4: and distance yourself just a little bit, or else don't run.
• 25:02
  Speaker 4: Don't run. It's okay. I mean, Trump did it. Trump
• 25:07
  Speaker 4: said to me, I never really think Tucker liked me,
• 25:08
  Speaker 4: but they were friendly. And Trump got rid of them.
• 25:12
  Speaker 4: He got rid of them. Those are the choices you
• 25:15
  Speaker 4: have to make when you're in a position like that.
• 25:18
  Speaker 4: It can't just be, well, this is who I am
• 25:20
  Speaker 4: and he's my friend and I'm not going to change. Okay,
• 25:23
  Speaker 4: then you're not going to win. Unless he deems, like
• 25:26
  Speaker 4: you said, Tucker supporters larger in numbers than Jews and
• 25:31
  Speaker 4: Trump supporters, which I'm telling you is not even close.
• 25:35
  Speaker 4: So I will tell him that today. I'll say, J.D., baby,
• 25:39
  Speaker 4: be his friend. Have a great time. You're not going
• 25:43
  Speaker 4: to win. You want to win? You want to win, J.D.?
• 25:46
  Speaker 4: Then you have to make some personal sacrifices. That'll be
• 25:51
  Speaker 4: my speech to him. And then I'll punch him in
• 25:55
  Speaker 4: the face. Then we'll start wrestling on the floor like
• 25:59
  Speaker 4: a Chris Farley movie, you know? Didn't you see that? Nice,
• 26:02
  Speaker 4: quiet meeting, and the next thing you know, it's like
• 26:05
  Speaker 4: two of us are wrestling on the floor.
• 26:06
  Speaker 8: You're being shot by Secret Service agents.
• 26:08
  Speaker 4: Shut up, you damn redneck! F you, you loudmouth Jew!
• 26:17
  Speaker 4: Let's go!
• 26:18
  Speaker 18: I was going to call you last night because I
• 26:21
  Speaker 18: wanted to suggest what you should wear for this big
• 26:24
  Speaker 18: meet and greet, and there was one thing.
• 26:26
  Speaker 8: That I didn't want you to wear. Because I know
• 26:28
  Speaker 8: all your outfits.
• 26:29
  Speaker 4: I see you every day.
• 26:30
  Speaker 8: I keep track of them. I tell you when I
• 26:31
  Speaker 8: think you look good.
• 26:32
  Speaker 4: Which is often.
• 26:33
  Speaker 18: And I was going to call you last night and
• 26:36
  Speaker 18: tell you whatever you do, don't wear that blue shirt.
• 26:41
  Speaker 8: That you're wearing this morning.
• 26:43
  Speaker 4: Oh, this is the greatest shirt ever.
• 26:44
  Speaker 19: I know.
• 26:45
  Speaker 8: It is a great shirt. I just don't know that it's.
• 26:47
  Speaker 4: White House material.
• 26:47
  Speaker 8: No, it's not a White House shirt.
• 26:48
  Speaker 4: No, this is like something that you would have seen,
• 26:50
  Speaker 4: I don't know, like Matt Dillon or Richard Krenner wear
• 26:54
  Speaker 4: in the movie Flamingo King.
• 26:55
  Speaker 8: Right at the beach somewhere.
• 26:57
  Speaker 4: Right, when they're playing Pinochle on the beach. It's a
• 27:00
  Speaker 4: Taylor Bird shirt. I love it.
• 27:01
  Speaker 8: It's a nice shirt.
• 27:02
  Speaker 4: Oh, it's great. But no, no. I am going to
• 27:04
  Speaker 4: your point.
• 27:05
  Speaker 12: Right.
• 27:06
  Speaker 4: Very conservative. Blue suit.
• 27:08
  Speaker 8: Oh, so you're not wearing that shirt? No. Oh, okay.
• 27:10
  Speaker 8: Because I was going to say that was.
• 27:11
  Speaker 4: A big mistake. I've got a beautiful blue suit that
• 27:13
  Speaker 4: I bought at the garage. My guy, Anthony, very, very,
• 27:17
  Speaker 4: you know, conservative blue suit, white button-down shirt. And for
• 27:22
  Speaker 4: the first time since they raised interest rates... I'm wearing
• 27:25
  Speaker 4: a tie today, a beautiful, I think a beautiful bright
• 27:30
  Speaker 4: red tie. Trump will be impressed.
• 27:32
  Speaker 8: Power tie.
• 27:33
  Speaker 4: It's a power tie, right? Now, here's the issue. I
• 27:36
  Speaker 4: don't know how to make a tie. My dad used
• 27:38
  Speaker 4: to buy me clip-on ties when I went to poly prep.
• 27:41
  Speaker 4: I had to wear a tie every day. Never knew
• 27:43
  Speaker 4: how to make it. Never learned how to make a tie.
• 27:47
  Speaker 4: So I call Noam. I go, hey, Noam.
• 27:49
  Speaker 18: I get an SOS text last night.
• 27:51
  Speaker 4: You got to make a tie. He tells me that
• 27:53
  Speaker 4: he went to some Catholic high school and had to
• 27:56
  Speaker 4: make a tie every day.
• 27:57
  Speaker 11: I did.
• 27:57
  Speaker 18: I had to wear a tie every single day. So
• 27:59
  Speaker 18: I know how to tie one. So what I'll do
• 28:00
  Speaker 18: is I'll tie it on myself first.
• 28:02
  Speaker 17: Right.
• 28:03
  Speaker 18: Get the knot exactly right. And then you'll put it
• 28:05
  Speaker 18: around your neck and make sure that it looks good
• 28:07
  Speaker 18: on you.
• 28:07
  Speaker 4: When I get to D.C., I hate wearing a tie.
• 28:10
  Speaker 4: I got a three-hour train ride ahead of me. That's
• 28:12
  Speaker 4: what it takes, about three hours. So they moved the
• 28:15
  Speaker 4: meeting from 3 to 2.45. I'm on a 10.30 train
• 28:19
  Speaker 4: from Penn Station to Washington, D.C. Gives me plenty of
• 28:23
  Speaker 4: time to get to the White House. And then I'll
• 28:25
  Speaker 4: put the tie on and go to business. Okay. How
• 28:28
  Speaker 4: does that sound?
• 28:28
  Speaker 8: That sounds great.
• 28:29
  Speaker 4: All right. All right, no, what's going on in the
• 28:31
  Speaker 4: real world outside of my world, which includes the White
• 28:34
  Speaker 4: House today?
• 28:35
  Speaker 8: Is there really anything else going on?
• 28:36
  Speaker 4: There really is nothing else going on. I mean, I'm being,
• 28:39
  Speaker 4: you know, actually, I'll tell you what. I sent a message.
• 28:42
  Speaker 4: about 30 minutes ago, to Dr. Ophir Falk. So who's he?
• 28:47
  Speaker 4: He's been on the show twice. He happens to be
• 28:49
  Speaker 4: Bibi Netanyahu's senior policy advisor. So Bibi's coming here a
• 28:55
  Speaker 4: week from today, making his big speech at the U.N.
• 28:58
  Speaker 4: for the U.N. General Assembly week, okay? And Mamdani, just
• 29:03
  Speaker 4: a couple of months ago, no matter what he says today,
• 29:05
  Speaker 4: was encouraging Israel hating, Jew hating New Yorkers to go
• 29:10
  Speaker 4: out there and protest while he continues to try to
• 29:13
  Speaker 4: make an effort to arrest Netanyahu. Well, he can't arrest them.
• 29:16
  Speaker 4: We know that. But now he says, well, I didn't
• 29:18
  Speaker 4: tell New Yorkers to protest. What I said was, if
• 29:21
  Speaker 4: you want to, we'll make sure it's okay. You're a liar.
• 29:25
  Speaker 4: He's such a filthy, disgusting liar. But I did text
• 29:29
  Speaker 4: Falk and say, I'll leave my show early next Thursday.
• 29:33
  Speaker 4: I'll figure it out. If you want, and the prime
• 29:36
  Speaker 4: minister wants, Me to go with him. as a huge
• 29:42
  Speaker 4: sign of solidarity and support for Bibi and Israel. So
• 29:47
  Speaker 4: I'm waiting for the prime minister to get back to
• 29:50
  Speaker 4: me today.
• 29:50
  Speaker 8: Maybe he can stop in while he's here.
• 29:52
  Speaker 12: I'll ask.
• 29:54
  Speaker 4: I'll ask. I don't know.
• 29:55
  Speaker 12: Right.
• 29:55
  Speaker 4: I mean, I mean, he should. But, you know, again,
• 29:57
  Speaker 4: the security issue here is huge. Almost maybe even more.
• 30:02
  Speaker 4: Certainly almost as many people want Bibi dead as Trump.
• 30:06
  Speaker 4: So you put Bibi and Sid in the same room.
• 30:09
  Speaker 4: You get a lot of points.
• 30:10
  Speaker 18: We had some and I don't remember who it was now.
• 30:12
  Speaker 18: We had somebody here recently and they had like. Nine
• 30:15
  Speaker 18: security secret service agents.
• 30:16
  Speaker 17: Tom Homan.
• 30:17
  Speaker 8: That's what it was.
• 30:17
  Speaker 4: Yeah, two weeks ago.
• 30:18
  Speaker 8: Yeah, this place was swarming with secret service.
• 30:21
  Speaker 18: So I would imagine they'd have their own Israeli security
• 30:24
  Speaker 18: along with secret service.
• 30:25
  Speaker 4: They'd have both. So I'll ask, but at the very least,
• 30:28
  Speaker 4: I want to be there with Bibi next Thursday. So
• 30:30
  Speaker 4: now the mayor says, I am not going to take
• 30:34
  Speaker 4: part in any of these protests. There's one huge one.
• 30:38
  Speaker 4: scheduled for a week from today about the time bb
• 30:41
  Speaker 4: starts his speech when all these morons start walking out
• 30:44
  Speaker 4: that happens every year you know that right yeah so
• 30:47
  Speaker 4: they're going to start at brian park and make their
• 30:49
  Speaker 4: way to the un and try to get to the
• 30:52
  Speaker 4: un about the time bb starts to speak that's the
• 30:56
  Speaker 4: big one but mamdani says i will not take part
• 30:59
  Speaker 4: in any protest.
• 31:00
  Speaker 18: No i don't know that they'll get that close to
• 31:02
  Speaker 18: the un because that's the most secure place in the
• 31:04
  Speaker 18: world next week so He won't.
• 31:07
  Speaker 4: See any of these protests. He won't be driven anywhere
• 31:09
  Speaker 4: near them. He's just going to see all these world
• 31:11
  Speaker 4: leaders get up and walk out.
• 31:13
  Speaker 18: They've been doing that for the last 40 years. It
• 31:15
  Speaker 18: doesn't matter where you are.
• 31:16
  Speaker 4: God, they look stupid. So that's my other story. Vice
• 31:21
  Speaker 4: president today, president today, and in all likelihood the prime
• 31:25
  Speaker 4: minister a week from today.
• 31:29
  Speaker 8: That's big. In my head, it's kind of comical, too,
• 31:32
  Speaker 8: at the same time.
• 31:33
  Speaker 4: Oh, my God. Me, too. Are you nuts? Are you nuts?
• 31:37
  Speaker 4: I'm a doofus from Brooklyn. I still consider myself an M.A.N.
• 31:40
  Speaker 7: Guy.
• 31:41
  Speaker 11: No, I know.
• 31:42
  Speaker 8: No longer a doofus from Brooklyn.
• 31:43
  Speaker 4: I know. Believe me, I know. You've got to see
• 31:46
  Speaker 4: the people texting me last night. suggesting what I should
• 31:50
  Speaker 4: say to the vice president today. I'm talking the biggest
• 31:52
  Speaker 4: of the biggest, okay? Not to sound like Trump, but
• 31:55
  Speaker 4: the biggest of the biggest were texting me last night.
• 31:59
  Speaker 18: What is, you know, I was thinking two things last
• 32:01
  Speaker 18: night after we texted, was I was thinking, you know,
• 32:05
  Speaker 18: how amazing would it be to have your father around
• 32:07
  Speaker 18: to see this moment? I thought about that for days.
• 32:11
  Speaker 18: Of all people who never would have saw this coming
• 32:12
  Speaker 18: in a million.
• 32:13
  Speaker 4: Years would have been your dad.
• 32:14
  Speaker 8: But you do have your mom.
• 32:15
  Speaker 19: Yeah.
• 32:16
  Speaker 8: And so what does she think?
• 32:18
  Speaker 4: She loves it. She's been texting me. She's very, very
• 32:20
  Speaker 4: proud of me. This is in between, mind you, when
• 32:23
  Speaker 4: she goes on Facebook and actually curses out. I'm not
• 32:27
  Speaker 4: kidding you.
• 32:27
  Speaker 8: I don't follow her.
• 32:28
  Speaker 4: She writes the upward. She writes the upward. No, if
• 32:30
  Speaker 4: you follow me. It's in my comments. They're public comments.
• 32:35
  Speaker 4: You know, like I'll post something about Israel, and 80%
• 32:38
  Speaker 4: of all my comments on social media are these bots.
• 32:43
  Speaker 4: And they're anti-Israel, anti-Jewish. 20% are real people, real losers
• 32:48
  Speaker 4: and lowlives in New York that hate the Jews. So
• 32:52
  Speaker 4: my mother, she'll fight with these people. She's 91 years old.
• 32:56
  Speaker 4: She writes the F word. Go F yourself, you piece
• 32:59
  Speaker 4: of shizzle. My mother. I go, Mom, I spoke to
• 33:02
  Speaker 4: her last week. I go, don't worry about these people.
• 33:05
  Speaker 4: I can't help it, Sidney Ferris. I can't help it,
• 33:07
  Speaker 4: Sidney Ferris. Now, listen, every once in a while I
• 33:10
  Speaker 4: do it, too, but I used to be terrible. When
• 33:12
  Speaker 4: I first came back to New York with Bernard, I
• 33:14
  Speaker 4: would fight with every single person. Now I can't do
• 33:17
  Speaker 4: it anyway because I've got, like, thousands and thousands and
• 33:20
  Speaker 4: thousands and thousands of people who comment every day. No
• 33:23
  Speaker 4: one comes close to me in this place. I get
• 33:25
  Speaker 4: thousands every day. If I wanted to, I couldn't do it.
• 33:29
  Speaker 4: But it's just a waste of time because most of
• 33:32
  Speaker 4: them are just bots, and the real people are the
• 33:35
  Speaker 4: biggest losers God ever created. But my mother, she goes nuts.
• 33:41
  Speaker 4: She's 91. She throws the F word around like Richard Pryor.
• 33:46
  Speaker 4: I love it.
• 33:46
  Speaker 8: We haven't had her on in a while. We need
• 33:48
  Speaker 8: her back.
• 33:48
  Speaker 4: Yeah, we'll get her on this week now.
• 33:50
  Speaker 12: Yeah.
• 33:50
  Speaker 4: She's doing good, though. You know, they wrapped up the
• 33:52
  Speaker 4: summer upstate New York.
• 33:53
  Speaker 8: Down back in Florida.
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 33:55
  Speaker 4: No, not yet. No, they spend the Jewish holidays up there.
• 33:57
  Speaker 4: So my sisters are up there, all three of them.
• 34:00
  Speaker 4: So they had Rosh Hashanah together. I'm sure they'll break
• 34:02
  Speaker 4: the Yom Kippur fast Monday night together. And then they
• 34:06
  Speaker 4: start making their way back to Florida because my sister Elizabeth,
• 34:09
  Speaker 4: my baby sister, she lives in Parkland. She goes upstate
• 34:12
  Speaker 4: from June to the holidays. My sister Ray Sherry sold
• 34:16
  Speaker 4: her house in Mill Basin, Brooklyn. She's in Parkland. And
• 34:20
  Speaker 4: my other sister, Alana, my oldest sister, she doesn't own
• 34:24
  Speaker 4: in Florida. like Liz and Ray Sherry, but her and
• 34:27
  Speaker 4: Harry rent every year, I think down by Fort Lauderdale,
• 34:29
  Speaker 4: I'm not even sure, maybe Aventura. So they all start
• 34:32
  Speaker 4: to make their way to Florida, like most Jews do,
• 34:35
  Speaker 4: in the next couple of weeks.
• 34:37
  Speaker 8: They're living better lives than we are.
• 34:38
  Speaker 4: Oh, much better lives. Oh, much better lives. Are you
• 34:41
  Speaker 4: kidding me? They got it made. So anyway, we'll get
• 34:44
  Speaker 4: Naomi on next week and get more from her. What
• 34:47
  Speaker 4: else is out there, buddy?
• 34:49
  Speaker 18: So the House lawmakers, they left Washington last night for
• 34:54
  Speaker 18: the final time before the November midterms. Of course, they
• 34:57
  Speaker 18: all have to go back home to shake hands, kiss babies,
• 35:00
  Speaker 18: because most of them are in races. Not all of
• 35:03
  Speaker 18: them competitive, but some of them are. And so They'll
• 35:06
  Speaker 18: be back. Nobody's back until after the elections. And it's
• 35:09
  Speaker 18: an interesting time because we don't know how this is
• 35:10
  Speaker 18: all going to end. Some polls show the Democrats are
• 35:13
  Speaker 18: going to pick up tons of seats. Others say it
• 35:15
  Speaker 18: may not be as much of a bloodbath as some believe.
• 35:19
  Speaker 18: We had House Speaker Mike Johnson last night trying to
• 35:22
  Speaker 18: tout what Republicans have done over the last two years,
• 35:25
  Speaker 18: making sort of a last argument as his House members
• 35:28
  Speaker 18: go back home to, you know, size up these races
• 35:32
  Speaker 18: in their districts.
• 35:33
  Speaker 8: So we'll see how that goes.
• 35:34
  Speaker 18: There's this controversy with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. He is
• 35:40
  Speaker 18: doing what he calls his State of the Forces address.
• 35:44
  Speaker 18: That's going to be in a week or so. And
• 35:47
  Speaker 18: only a certain type of soldiers will be allowed to attend.
• 35:50
  Speaker 18: According to the Pentagon, they put out these rules. They
• 35:52
  Speaker 18: say attendees must meet specific waist to height requirements and
• 35:58
  Speaker 18: exhibit impeccable grooming standards if they want a close-up with
• 36:02
  Speaker 18: the Defense Secretary. Now, Hegseth, has emphasized physical fitness during
• 36:06
  Speaker 18: his tenure, including he criticized what he called fat generals.
• 36:10
  Speaker 8: I don't know if you remember that.
• 36:11
  Speaker 12: Yeah, I do.
• 36:12
  Speaker 18: And he's introduced testosterone screenings for soldiers that are over
• 36:16
  Speaker 18: 30 years old.
• 36:17
  Speaker 4: Good. I've got no issue with any of that. I'm
• 36:20
  Speaker 4: sick of it. I'm sick of fat cops, too. I
• 36:22
  Speaker 4: have nothing against fat people, but they don't belong in
• 36:25
  Speaker 4: those roles. You know, you get a person on foot
• 36:29
  Speaker 4: and you've got to chase them. It ain't going to work.
• 36:31
  Speaker 4: I'm sorry. Unless you play in the National Football League,
• 36:34
  Speaker 4: those guys, some of them are actually fat, over 300 pounds,
• 36:37
  Speaker 4: but they run the 40 and 4-7.
• 36:39
  Speaker 14: Right.
• 36:39
  Speaker 4: But you don't want fat people in those roles.
• 36:42
  Speaker 14: Sorry.
• 36:42
  Speaker 4: I know fat people are people, too. And I love them.
• 36:46
  Speaker 4: But in certain roles, they don't make sense. They just
• 36:49
  Speaker 4: don't make sense. Just like men don't make sense in
• 36:51
  Speaker 4: certain roles. Women don't make sense in certain roles. This
• 36:56
  Speaker 4: nonsense that anybody can do anything is stupid. That's D-E-I-D.
• 37:02
  Speaker 4: And that ain't no good. So, no, if you're fat,
• 37:05
  Speaker 4: first of all, nobody should be fat in America today. Nobody.
• 37:09
  Speaker 4: All you got to do, it's a little, little shot.
• 37:13
  Speaker 4: It's not even like a real needle. It's the size
• 37:17
  Speaker 4: of an insulin injection.
• 37:18
  Speaker 8: How do you know this? Are you taking these shots?
• 37:20
  Speaker 4: No, I don't need to. I'm in great shape. But
• 37:23
  Speaker 4: everybody is. They got 19,000 GLPs out there. Now they
• 37:27
  Speaker 4: mix GLPs with peptides. So you can even build muscle.
• 37:32
  Speaker 8: You can take a pill now, too.
• 37:33
  Speaker 4: Pills don't work. Listen to me carefully.
• 37:35
  Speaker 8: The pills don't work? Aren't they the same companies make
• 37:38
  Speaker 8: the pills?
• 37:38
  Speaker 4: Listen to me carefully, okay? Pills, creams never work like
• 37:44
  Speaker 4: an injection. Never, ever, ever. So it's a little, little
• 37:49
  Speaker 4: insulin needle. You put it in your fat stomach once
• 37:52
  Speaker 4: a week and you can actually watch as the fat
• 37:56
  Speaker 4: melts off. I have no idea why anybody in America
• 37:59
  Speaker 4: is fat today. I don't like needles. The needle is,
• 38:03
  Speaker 4: I'm telling you, it's so small. It's like Alex penis. It's,
• 38:07
  Speaker 4: it's a little insulin needle. It's not a real, a
• 38:09
  Speaker 4: real needle. Like you would take when you get an injection.
• 38:12
  Speaker 8: No, I've seen it.
• 38:13
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 38:14
  Speaker 18: And, and, All these people who I have known to
• 38:16
  Speaker 18: be large and fat their whole lives.
• 38:19
  Speaker 8: They're all skinny now.
• 38:20
  Speaker 4: Yeah, because they're all taking the injections.
• 38:21
  Speaker 8: I mean, it's amazing.
• 38:23
  Speaker 4: And there's a lot of things about these GLPs and peptides.
• 38:26
  Speaker 4: You've got to do your research, okay? Okay? They help
• 38:29
  Speaker 4: in a lot of different ways, not just losing weight.
• 38:32
  Speaker 18: Yeah, it's like a wonder drug. Now they're saying that
• 38:34
  Speaker 18: it may hold off Alzheimer's.
• 38:36
  Speaker 4: Alzheimer's, it helps. Now they're saying, well, I want to
• 38:39
  Speaker 4: say cancer.
• 38:39
  Speaker 8: If you're an alcoholic, they say.
• 38:41
  Speaker 4: Alcoholics should take it.
• 38:42
  Speaker 12: I know.
• 38:42
  Speaker 4: I don't understand why anybody is fat. I don't get
• 38:46
  Speaker 4: it because they want to be fat. And that's okay.
• 38:50
  Speaker 4: You know, that's okay. But don't get upset when somebody
• 38:52
  Speaker 4: calls you fat. Because America is so caught up in
• 38:58
  Speaker 4: appearance to the point where it's nauseating. I'll admit that.
• 39:02
  Speaker 4: I admit that. And I'm a part of the problem
• 39:04
  Speaker 4: at almost 60 years old. I admit that, too. But
• 39:08
  Speaker 4: you have no excuse to be fat today.
• 39:10
  Speaker 12: None.
• 39:11
  Speaker 4: Get your little GLP. Stick the little prick in your stomach.
• 39:15
  Speaker 8: It's only once a week, too. You don't have to
• 39:17
  Speaker 8: do it.
• 39:17
  Speaker 4: Once a week.
• 39:17
  Speaker 14: Yeah.
• 39:18
  Speaker 12: You're done.
• 39:18
  Speaker 4: It's nothing. You're done. It literally melts the fat away.
• 39:23
  Speaker 17: It is.
• 39:23
  Speaker 4: And it's fast, too. Very fast. What else you got?
• 39:27
  Speaker 18: We went off on that for a while, didn't we? Oh,
• 39:30
  Speaker 18: so did you see that Dr. Nicole Sapphire, right? Aren't
• 39:34
  Speaker 18: you friends with her?
• 39:35
  Speaker 4: Very good. In fact, I reached out. I don't know
• 39:38
  Speaker 4: if you know this. I reached out to President Trump
• 39:40
  Speaker 4: because Bobby Kennedy had somebody else in mind to be
• 39:43
  Speaker 4: the Surgeon General. I reached out to President Trump, and
• 39:46
  Speaker 4: I said, listen, You got to at least at least
• 39:49
  Speaker 4: consider Nicole Sapphire. And guess who got the gig? Nicole.
• 39:54
  Speaker 12: Yes.
• 39:54
  Speaker 18: So she has to be approved by the Senate committee,
• 39:57
  Speaker 18: but she likely will.
• 39:59
  Speaker 7: Of course.
• 39:59
  Speaker 18: Yesterday, they were trying to trip her up with some
• 40:01
  Speaker 18: questions during this Q & A in Washington. They asked
• 40:05
  Speaker 18: her directly if she agreed with President Trump's statements that
• 40:09
  Speaker 18: vaccines cause autism.
• 40:10
  Speaker 8: And she told the panel she did not. And she
• 40:13
  Speaker 8: also said that the MNR.
• 40:13
  Speaker 4: By the way, she's told me that. on this show many,
• 40:16
  Speaker 4: many times. She'll be on this show after she is
• 40:19
  Speaker 4: officially confirmed. But, yeah, she has said that to me
• 40:22
  Speaker 4: on this show many times.
• 40:24
  Speaker 8: And she went out against RFK Jr.
• 40:25
  Speaker 18: And the president also saying that the MMR vaccine for measles, mumps, rubella.
• 40:30
  Speaker 8: She says, is still our greatest tool for combating those diseases.
• 40:33
  Speaker 4: Well, I think Trump says that. I get confused sometimes.
• 40:37
  Speaker 4: as to what Trump says and Kennedy and Oz. But
• 40:40
  Speaker 4: at any rate, she's a wonderful doctor. Oncology, Sloan-Kettering, you
• 40:45
  Speaker 4: don't get bigger and better than that. Cancer patients. And
• 40:50
  Speaker 4: she's a two-time author. And President Trump loves the fact
• 40:54
  Speaker 4: that her latest book, her last book, it's years and
• 40:56
  Speaker 4: years old, but the name of the book is Make
• 41:00
  Speaker 4: America Better. healthy again did you know that i did
• 41:03
  Speaker 4: yeah so and she talks a lot in both of
• 41:06
  Speaker 4: her books going back to our last conversation about obesity
• 41:10
  Speaker 4: just about every illness in this country every chronic illness
• 41:16
  Speaker 4: that can kill you you can point directly to obesity
• 41:20
  Speaker 4: she talks about that all the time she's great i'm
• 41:23
  Speaker 4: glad she's going to get the gig yeah they ask
• 41:25
  Speaker 4: tough questions but she'll be.
• 41:26
  Speaker 18: Fine yeah Well, in their eyes, I'm assuming she answered
• 41:30
  Speaker 18: them correctly.
• 41:32
  Speaker 8: That's why they asked those questions. And did you see
• 41:34
  Speaker 8: this woman?
• 41:36
  Speaker 18: Some of our fans were actually telling about this, reaching
• 41:39
  Speaker 18: out to us yesterday, that there was a Metro North
• 41:43
  Speaker 18: train that was headed from New Canaan, Connecticut. This was
• 41:45
  Speaker 18: an early train that gets to Grand Central at about
• 41:49
  Speaker 18: 7 in the morning. And so right as they're about
• 41:52
  Speaker 18: to reach the platform, so they're still on the tracks,
• 41:54
  Speaker 18: but they're about to enter Grand Central Station. This woman
• 41:57
  Speaker 18: goes over and she pulls the emergency brake. She then
• 42:00
  Speaker 18: stands on her chair and she looks at her fellow
• 42:02
  Speaker 18: commuters and says, this will be your last day on earth.
• 42:06
  Speaker 4: Oh, my God.
• 42:07
  Speaker 8: You can imagine people looking up from their phones for
• 42:10
  Speaker 8: a moment.
• 42:10
  Speaker 4: It's like Jordan Neely said something like that. What's his name?
• 42:14
  Speaker 4: Saved all of us. What is his name again? Thomas Knips.
• 42:17
  Speaker 4: Daniel Penny.
• 42:18
  Speaker 20: Yeah.
• 42:18
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 42:18
  Speaker 18: And so then one of the passengers, she reaches into
• 42:22
  Speaker 18: her purse and one of the passengers yells, she has
• 42:24
  Speaker 18: a gun. So people, of course, start to panic. Now, remember,
• 42:28
  Speaker 18: they're still on the tracks. They're not physically at the
• 42:30
  Speaker 18: station yet. But people start pushing. You know, you can
• 42:32
  Speaker 18: push the window open. It says that emergency thing where
• 42:35
  Speaker 18: you can push the window. So people started pushing the window,
• 42:37
  Speaker 18: jumping out onto the tracks and walking towards the station
• 42:40
  Speaker 18: to get away from this woman.
• 42:42
  Speaker 8: They caught her. She did not have a gun.
• 42:44
  Speaker 18: But nobody knew that at the moment because someone yelled
• 42:47
  Speaker 18: out that she did. And no surprise, she was taken
• 42:49
  Speaker 18: to Bellevue Hospital for a psychological evaluation.
• 42:51
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I would think so. Yeah, Bellevue. Special thanks to
• 42:54
  Speaker 4: our friend Rios out in New Jersey who did send
• 42:57
  Speaker 4: me the link this morning. to this big political story, J.D.
• 43:01
  Speaker 4: Vance bases test in White House meeting with Israel-backing radio
• 43:05
  Speaker 4: host Sid Rosenberg today. So thank you, Rios. And we
• 43:09
  Speaker 4: are off and running, Noam. You do such an amazing
• 43:12
  Speaker 4: job the first hour of this show. Really used to
• 43:14
  Speaker 4: be on all four hours. No disrespect to Mike Wallace,
• 43:16
  Speaker 4: but you should be on all four. And, you know,
• 43:19
  Speaker 4: one of these days I have any programming decisions, you know,
• 43:23
  Speaker 4: which I should have because nobody knows more about radio
• 43:25
  Speaker 4: than me.
• 43:26
  Speaker 11: Nobody.
• 43:26
  Speaker 4: Maybe not the business, okay? The business side and selling
• 43:30
  Speaker 4: and advertising and syndicating, I may not know the most.
• 43:33
  Speaker 4: But in terms of programming, there's nobody in this city
• 43:37
  Speaker 4: that has a better feel than I do. Nobody. And
• 43:39
  Speaker 4: you should be on this show all four hours.
• 43:41
  Speaker 7: Thanks.
• 43:41
  Speaker 4: You're welcome. Thank you for today, as always.
• 43:44
  Speaker 2: Sid and Friends in the Morning on the Red Apple
• 43:48
  Speaker 2: Podcast Network.
• 43:50
  Speaker 4: So this band, Oasis, came up in conversation yesterday. Great song, Wonderwall,
• 43:55
  Speaker 4: with the former congressman, my dear friend, Peter King. His son, Sean,
• 44:00
  Speaker 4: who's a great kid. Pete and Rosemary have two great kids.
• 44:03
  Speaker 4: Their daughter, Erin, and their son, Sean. Sean loves this band.
• 44:06
  Speaker 4: So do I. So does Lou. I think you do too,
• 44:08
  Speaker 4: Kevin Drosh, right? These guys are great. The Gallagher brothers
• 44:11
  Speaker 4: are psychos. They hate each other. Like the Robinson brothers,
• 44:15
  Speaker 4: Black Crows, they would fight all the time. These two
• 44:18
  Speaker 4: are the worst. Hit each other with bats and the Gallaghers.
• 44:22
  Speaker 4: Liam and Noel are their names. Anyway, a great song
• 44:25
  Speaker 4: and a great band. And Sean King somewhere is very
• 44:28
  Speaker 4: happy right now. One other note before I get to
• 44:31
  Speaker 4: City Council Lady happens to be mine, Joanne Areola, about
• 44:35
  Speaker 4: the shortage of cops and how that's really hurting New
• 44:40
  Speaker 4: York City and the Bronx especially. I watched Pete Alonzo
• 44:47
  Speaker 4: hit more home runs against the Mets last night. Isn't
• 44:53
  Speaker 4: it fun watching Pete Alonzo go out there and just
• 44:56
  Speaker 4: beat the living daylights out of the Mets? I think
• 45:00
  Speaker 4: it's fun. Homer two nights ago, Homer again last night.
• 45:04
  Speaker 4: The Mets got swept by the Baltimore Orioles. Not a
• 45:07
  Speaker 4: very good team, but For Alonzo, who's having a great year.
• 45:11
  Speaker 4: This guy's going to hit 40 homers and not get
• 45:13
  Speaker 4: 120 runs this year. That's the bottom line. He's got
• 45:17
  Speaker 4: a monster, monster year after a very, very slow start.
• 45:22
  Speaker 4: So Pete Alonzo did it again to the Mets last night,
• 45:27
  Speaker 4: and I loved it. I'll take a break. When she
• 45:29
  Speaker 4: gets back, she is Queens City Councilwoman, one of our
• 45:32
  Speaker 4: five Republicans out of 51. Joanne Areola with the latest
• 45:38
  Speaker 4: on Mom Donnie. Joanne is next.
• 45:42
  Speaker 2: Sid and Friends in the Morning on the Red Apple
• 45:45
  Speaker 2: Podcast Network.
• 45:48
  Speaker 4: Michael Jackson off the wall, 739 Thursday. Nice day still
• 45:54
  Speaker 4: as we head towards the latter half of September. With
• 45:58
  Speaker 4: Yom Kippur coming up on Sunday night into Monday morning,
• 46:02
  Speaker 4: Lisa Ganji checks in, our favorite resident Met fan. She said, Sid,
• 46:07
  Speaker 4: the Mets died on opening day. Let the season end already.
• 46:11
  Speaker 4: They effing suck. Great show, Lisa. Yeah, they actually won
• 46:16
  Speaker 4: opening day, I think. They did okay. They opened the season,
• 46:19
  Speaker 4: I think, against the Orioles. No, not the Orioles. Maybe Pittsburgh.
• 46:23
  Speaker 4: I don't remember. I don't care. Maybe it was the
• 46:24
  Speaker 4: Yankees and the Pirates. It was a long time ago.
• 46:26
  Speaker 4: I remember Lubop hit a big home run to win
• 46:29
  Speaker 4: a game early in the season, and they're off to
• 46:31
  Speaker 4: a flying start. And you're like, well, maybe they got
• 46:33
  Speaker 4: something here. And then it was over like a week later.
• 46:36
  Speaker 4: That was it. So we're going to see David Stearns
• 46:39
  Speaker 4: getting killed, the Met GM, by the fans the last
• 46:42
  Speaker 4: couple of nights. Every time they applauded Pete Alonzo, they
• 46:45
  Speaker 4: started a fire Stearns chant. But it looks like Steve
• 46:50
  Speaker 4: Cohen and Stearns are kind of like J.D. and Tucker.
• 46:53
  Speaker 4: I don't know. I don't know if they want to disavow,
• 46:56
  Speaker 4: break up.
• 46:57
  Speaker 14: I don't know.
• 46:58
  Speaker 4: Even though Stearns is not good for Cohen and the
• 47:01
  Speaker 4: Mets and Tucker is not good for J.D. and the country,
• 47:04
  Speaker 4: some people are stubborn when it comes to their friends.
• 47:06
  Speaker 4: You know how that is, Justin. So we're going to see.
• 47:11
  Speaker 4: We're going to talk to John McLaughlin coming up next.
• 47:13
  Speaker 4: He's the best, him and his brother, the best pollster anywhere,
• 47:17
  Speaker 4: not just in the country, but anywhere in the world.
• 47:20
  Speaker 4: Just so you know, some of his clients include President Trump.
• 47:25
  Speaker 4: Bibi Netanyahu, currently Bruce Blakeman, may have had lawler too,
• 47:29
  Speaker 4: I'm not sure. But either way, nobody better than John McLaughlin.
• 47:33
  Speaker 4: We will discuss a variety of topics, John McLaughlin, on
• 47:38
  Speaker 4: a Thursday coming up next.
• 47:40
  Speaker 1: This is Sid and Friends in the Morning.
• 47:44
  Speaker 8: 77 WABC.
• 47:45
  Speaker 19: Congratulations, Sid, on your induction into the New York State
• 47:50
  Speaker 19: Broadcasters Hall of Fame. I completely agree with President Trump.
• 47:54
  Speaker 19: It's unbelievable it took them so long. Sid, you've not
• 47:58
  Speaker 19: only become one of the great voices of New York
• 48:00
  Speaker 19: and America, you're one of the greatest voices of truth
• 48:03
  Speaker 19: for Israel. And there's a reason you have such an
• 48:06
  Speaker 19: enormous audience. You don't blabber woke nonsense. You don't tell
• 48:11
  Speaker 19: people what the fashionable crowd thinks they should hear. You
• 48:14
  Speaker 19: tell them the truth, the hard truth. And you tell
• 48:18
  Speaker 19: it with passion, with humor. And with absolutely no fear.
• 48:23
  Speaker 4: Tears for fears. Break it down. My friend Bibi Netanyahu
• 48:26
  Speaker 4: right there. That was very nice. President Trump sent me
• 48:28
  Speaker 4: a video too. About two minutes long. And we're getting
• 48:31
  Speaker 4: closer to that October 22nd date now. September 17th today.
• 48:36
  Speaker 4: October 22nd is the actual induction ceremony at the iconic
• 48:43
  Speaker 4: Rainbow Room at Rockefeller Center. And we got videos now
• 48:46
  Speaker 4: from Trump and Bibi. And Bibi will be here a
• 48:48
  Speaker 4: week from today. to speak at the UN General Assembly.
• 48:52
  Speaker 4: And we've heard about this for months. This anti-Semite, jihad, radical,
• 48:59
  Speaker 4: Islam terrorist mayor spent months telling us he was going
• 49:02
  Speaker 4: to arrest Bibi. He knew better. He's not stupid. He's
• 49:07
  Speaker 4: an asshole. But he's not stupid, Mamdani. He knew he
• 49:10
  Speaker 4: couldn't arrest him, but he still went with that. Bibi's
• 49:12
  Speaker 4: coming next week. He ain't going to arrest him. They'll
• 49:14
  Speaker 4: have some, a bunch of morons. It'll be bad. One
• 49:18
  Speaker 4: protest in particular from Brian Park to the UN, which
• 49:22
  Speaker 4: could get kind of ugly, but that's what Mamdani wants.
• 49:25
  Speaker 4: He wants chaos. He wants ugliness. But Bibi will come
• 49:29
  Speaker 4: and Bibi will speak. And Bibi's been involved in six
• 49:33
  Speaker 4: elections over the last couple of years in Israel. The
• 49:37
  Speaker 4: next one is coming up. I think it's like a
• 49:39
  Speaker 4: month and a half away. And there seems to be
• 49:43
  Speaker 4: more concern from the BB camp. He's won five of
• 49:46
  Speaker 4: the last six. There seems to be a little more
• 49:49
  Speaker 4: concern this time around. But the guy that knows better
• 49:52
  Speaker 4: than anybody... Here in the States is John McLaughlin, the
• 49:56
  Speaker 4: best pollster, him and his brother anywhere, and Bibi is
• 50:00
  Speaker 4: his client. So let's get right to it, John. A
• 50:02
  Speaker 4: week from today, Bibi's going to be here in New
• 50:04
  Speaker 4: York for the U.N. General Assembly, but he's got his
• 50:07
  Speaker 4: eyes on that election coming up. What are you hearing
• 50:10
  Speaker 4: out of Israel about two months before?
• 50:14
  Speaker 17: By the way, it's not unusual. It's 40 days till
• 50:16
  Speaker 17: the Israeli election on October 27. And you got 47
• 50:20
  Speaker 17: days to the American election. And, you know, it's the interesting.
• 50:25
  Speaker 12: Part about Mayor Mondami.
• 50:26
  Speaker 17: He'd like nothing else to be able to see D.D.
• 50:30
  Speaker 12: Lose.
• 50:31
  Speaker 17: So he would, you know, he's over here in New York,
• 50:34
  Speaker 17: but he's doing what he can to affect the media
• 50:36
  Speaker 17: over there. But it's a very close race because right
• 50:39
  Speaker 17: now you have 15 parties may qualify. for the next Knesset.
• 50:46
  Speaker 17: And the government coalition is close where Likud or one
• 50:51
  Speaker 17: of these other parties, Yashar, could be battling for the
• 50:53
  Speaker 17: lead party and then they make their coalitions and you
• 50:57
  Speaker 17: need out of the 120 seats, you need 61. So
• 50:59
  Speaker 17: last time, It came around in the end where it
• 51:04
  Speaker 17: was pretty consistent that we were going to get 62
• 51:06
  Speaker 17: to 64 seats in the coalition with Cuban to be
• 51:08
  Speaker 17: the major party. And now you've got a similar kind
• 51:12
  Speaker 17: of pattern. But, you know, if Mayor Mondavi wants to
• 51:16
  Speaker 17: interfere in the Israeli elections, let him try. You know,
• 51:19
  Speaker 17: it'll backfire.
• 51:21
  Speaker 4: So, you know, in the meantime.
• 51:24
  Speaker 12: Yeah, no, it's great.
• 51:24
  Speaker 1: We got a win over here.
• 51:25
  Speaker 4: I know, I know. You know, I was talking to
• 51:29
  Speaker 4: some of the people that help him every day, big people,
• 51:33
  Speaker 4: and BB's came in his administration, and they were saying
• 51:36
  Speaker 4: to me, they were saying to me, hey, you know, maybe,
• 51:39
  Speaker 4: just maybe, you can arrange a trip, because I don't
• 51:43
  Speaker 4: know if people realize this, but if you live in
• 51:45
  Speaker 4: New York, for example, but you're Israeli, you can fly
• 51:49
  Speaker 4: back to Israel and vote for Bibi. So I think
• 51:52
  Speaker 4: Bibi's people really wanted me, I swear, to charter a
• 51:56
  Speaker 4: plane or do something and get a bunch of these
• 51:58
  Speaker 4: New York Israelis to go to Israel and vote for Bibi.
• 52:02
  Speaker 17: Uh, I'm sure, I'm sure they do. And, and, and
• 52:05
  Speaker 17: by the way, BB, he's, I've worked with him all
• 52:08
  Speaker 17: these years. In 03, I started, I met him in 95.
• 52:10
  Speaker 17: And then in 03, I started working for him and
• 52:15
  Speaker 17: Ronald Lauder and some of our other friends had me
• 52:18
  Speaker 17: go over there. And he says, what do you know
• 52:20
  Speaker 17: about Jewish voters? And I said, I'm from New York.
• 52:23
  Speaker 17: So I was like, but he, he, He's been a
• 52:26
  Speaker 17: winner ever since, but he's a truly unique figure in history.
• 52:30
  Speaker 17: Like him and President Trump, in a way, they're different people,
• 52:33
  Speaker 17: but they're very much similar. And they've changed the world
• 52:36
  Speaker 17: for the better in many, many ways. And he's the
• 52:39
  Speaker 17: person that can best keep Israel safe and secure. I mean,
• 52:42
  Speaker 17: you're living in a small country. You've been there and
• 52:46
  Speaker 17: everyone around you. wants to kill you and take you
• 52:49
  Speaker 17: off the map.
• 52:49
  Speaker 4: Every one of them.
• 52:51
  Speaker 17: And they're under Bibi because he was prime minister and
• 52:55
  Speaker 17: then he was finance minister and then he was prime
• 52:56
  Speaker 17: minister again. Their economy has flourished. They're a very high-tech economy.
• 53:02
  Speaker 17: And their security... They're stronger than ever. They're the superpower
• 53:07
  Speaker 17: in the Middle East, and they're the only true democracy there.
• 53:10
  Speaker 17: So Bibi has led that for his country, and Israelis
• 53:14
  Speaker 17: have to decide who else can keep us as safe
• 53:17
  Speaker 17: and secure and as prosperous as Bibi has done.
• 53:20
  Speaker 4: No one can. No one can. And you know what?
• 53:22
  Speaker 4: I'm about to meet with J.D. Vance coming up in
• 53:24
  Speaker 4: about seven hours at the White House in D.C. I've
• 53:28
  Speaker 4: got a 1030 train. And not only did he come
• 53:30
  Speaker 4: out a couple days ago and talk about the U.S.
• 53:33
  Speaker 4: being subservient. Really stupid word. Really stupid word. talking about
• 53:38
  Speaker 4: the relationship with Israel, and I'm going to tell J.D.
• 53:40
  Speaker 14: That.
• 53:41
  Speaker 4: But he also came out and said that President Trump
• 53:45
  Speaker 4: has told him, or has made it very clear, that
• 53:47
  Speaker 4: he's ready to walk away from his relationship with Bibi,
• 53:51
  Speaker 4: that he's ready to, you know, move on from Bibi
• 53:53
  Speaker 4: because Israel represents America less and less. Now, I have
• 53:59
  Speaker 4: no idea whether that's true or not. Trump, who I'll
• 54:02
  Speaker 4: see today, never intimated that to me. What do you
• 54:05
  Speaker 4: think about those quotes from J.D. Vance?
• 54:09
  Speaker 17: Well, I don't want to contradict the vice president because
• 54:12
  Speaker 17: the most important thing he can do is endorse you
• 54:14
  Speaker 17: now for mayor of New York City. I mean, the
• 54:21
  Speaker 17: other thing, too, is the national Republicans need to be
• 54:25
  Speaker 17: helping Bruce Flakeman here in New York. Bruce Flakeman is
• 54:27
  Speaker 17: within a handful of points. of beating Kathy Hochul. She's
• 54:31
  Speaker 17: in worse shape than she was four years ago when
• 54:34
  Speaker 17: my other friend, Lee Zellman, nearly beat her. And Bruce is,
• 54:37
  Speaker 17: you know, we're 47 days out from that election, 37
• 54:40
  Speaker 17: days out from early voting, and he's within a handful
• 54:43
  Speaker 17: of points. And most New Yorkers don't like her and
• 54:45
  Speaker 17: don't want her to be the governor again.
• 54:47
  Speaker 14: And Bruce, they like him.
• 54:49
  Speaker 17: He's grown. We're winning upstate. We're winning in the suburbs.
• 54:53
  Speaker 17: He's getting 33% of the vote in New York City.
• 54:56
  Speaker 17: We need about 35% to win. We're getting 18%, 19%
• 54:59
  Speaker 17: of the Democrat vote. We need about 25% to win.
• 55:01
  Speaker 17: There's Democrats coming to Bruce every day, and he's defying
• 55:06
  Speaker 17: the midterm gravity. So the vice president and the Republicans
• 55:10
  Speaker 17: in Washington, if they want to pick up half seats–
• 55:13
  Speaker 17: in New York, like in, in, in, uh, help, you know,
• 55:16
  Speaker 17: Janine Driscoll, uh, help, uh, uh, Michael Petri, uh, help
• 55:21
  Speaker 17: reelect Mike Lawler and, and Malia Takis and Lola. If
• 55:24
  Speaker 17: you want to help these members of Congress, Republicans of Congress,
• 55:27
  Speaker 17: the best thing they got going in front of them
• 55:29
  Speaker 17: is that, that Bruce Blatman beats, uh, Kathy Hochul.
• 55:34
  Speaker 12: And, uh, so when.
• 55:35
  Speaker 17: You talk to the vice president to put that.
• 55:37
  Speaker 4: It's on the list. It's on the list.
• 55:39
  Speaker 17: See, that's a prelude to you running for mayor.
• 55:45
  Speaker 4: You know what's funny about that is Bruce Blakeman keeps
• 55:47
  Speaker 4: bringing that up. I don't bring it up because Danielle
• 55:49
  Speaker 4: gets mad at me, but he brought it up at
• 55:51
  Speaker 4: the gala. He brought it up in Howard Beach again
• 55:53
  Speaker 4: a couple of days ago. And, you know, if he
• 55:55
  Speaker 4: said if I win, I got to have Sid. But
• 55:57
  Speaker 4: don't worry, I'll talk to J.D. and Trump today about
• 56:01
  Speaker 4: helping out Bruce Blakeman in this. worthy cause and is
• 56:05
  Speaker 4: one for governor. The one thing I do get, and
• 56:07
  Speaker 4: you know I love Bruce as much as anybody, more
• 56:09
  Speaker 4: than anybody. We're very close, like you guys are. I
• 56:11
  Speaker 4: get a lot. Guy walks past my house last Saturday.
• 56:16
  Speaker 4: I'm sitting outside drinking a cup of coffee. He's on
• 56:18
  Speaker 4: a bike. He stops. He goes, you're Sid, right?
• 56:21
  Speaker 12: Yeah.
• 56:22
  Speaker 4: Oh, you're really close to Blakeman. Yeah, very close. I
• 56:24
  Speaker 4: love him. He's going to be the next governor. Well,
• 56:26
  Speaker 4: I've got a friend in Brooklyn, okay? And he tells
• 56:29
  Speaker 4: me that his neighbors, they don't really know who Bruce
• 56:33
  Speaker 4: Blakeman is. And a lot of the black population, a
• 56:37
  Speaker 4: lot of the Hispanic population, they don't know who he is.
• 56:40
  Speaker 4: I keep hearing this. Now, I know for a fact.
• 56:43
  Speaker 4: And I will fight someone to the death because I
• 56:46
  Speaker 4: know better that Bruce does an amazing job visiting all
• 56:50
  Speaker 4: five boroughs. He's all over the state of New York.
• 56:53
  Speaker 4: He's upstate there all the time. Yet Republicans, not even Democrats,
• 56:58
  Speaker 4: our own people, these pain in the asses, are complaining
• 57:03
  Speaker 4: that not enough people know Bruce's name, that he's still
• 57:07
  Speaker 4: kind of a stranger, and he doesn't travel enough to
• 57:10
  Speaker 4: all these districts. As far as I know, that's not true.
• 57:15
  Speaker 17: Absolutely not true. I mean, he's definitely traveling. But, you know,
• 57:18
  Speaker 17: the media doesn't cover us. Like, they would cover a
• 57:20
  Speaker 17: focal saying, no, I'm going to send you a couple
• 57:23
  Speaker 17: hundred bucks after I voted for or allowed 48 utility
• 57:28
  Speaker 17: rate increases. And so she's raised our utility bills in
• 57:32
  Speaker 17: New York by thousands. And she says, I'm going to
• 57:34
  Speaker 17: send you back some peanuts, a couple hundred bucks. They
• 57:37
  Speaker 17: all cover that. She's the governor and they give her
• 57:39
  Speaker 17: lots of coverage on that. And Bruce comes out and
• 57:42
  Speaker 17: he says, I'm going to cut, you know, I can
• 57:44
  Speaker 17: reduce your utility bills in half. And he's got a plan.
• 57:46
  Speaker 14: We hardly get that kind of coverage.
• 57:48
  Speaker 17: So it's like there's a lot of media in New
• 57:52
  Speaker 17: York that they really don't want to see Bruce Blakeman.
• 57:56
  Speaker 4: No, of course. They don't want him to win.
• 57:57
  Speaker 12: I know.
• 57:57
  Speaker 1: All they do is give him the coverage.
• 57:59
  Speaker 12: I know that.
• 58:00
  Speaker 4: But with that said, then, do you think there is
• 58:03
  Speaker 4: an issue with name recognition?
• 58:05
  Speaker 17: Oh, it's yeah, it's definitely we're building. That's why people
• 58:09
  Speaker 17: have to go to his website, Blakeman for New York
• 58:11
  Speaker 17: dot com. Go give money. I mean, Bruce has been
• 58:14
  Speaker 17: able to raise millions by himself, but the governor has
• 58:17
  Speaker 17: millions and we need just enough to win. But that's
• 58:20
  Speaker 17: why he's raising the money, because if we don't, you know,
• 58:23
  Speaker 17: you can go to Brooklyn, you can you can be
• 58:26
  Speaker 17: in Howard Beach and you can be in Queens and
• 58:28
  Speaker 17: you go to these places. But it takes the TV
• 58:31
  Speaker 17: ads and the digital ads and the radio ads to
• 58:35
  Speaker 17: be able to let people know you're there because you
• 58:38
  Speaker 17: can't rely on the mainstream. I mean, she's only agreed
• 58:40
  Speaker 17: to one debate on Spectrum TV.
• 58:43
  Speaker 4: That's it? One debate?
• 58:44
  Speaker 11: Oh, no.
• 58:45
  Speaker 4: Don't tell me that that fat, stupid, black, racist Errol
• 58:48
  Speaker 4: Lewis is going to moderate that.
• 58:49
  Speaker 12: Please.
• 58:50
  Speaker 17: That's not my job. I just do the polling.
• 58:52
  Speaker 4: That's my job. So they're going to do one debate
• 58:56
  Speaker 4: so far? That's it?
• 58:57
  Speaker 7: One?
• 58:57
  Speaker 17: As far as I know.
• 58:58
  Speaker 4: But that's up to her. I know. She's a coward.
• 59:03
  Speaker 4: She's a pussy is what she is. I'll say it.
• 59:06
  Speaker 4: You can, McLaughlin. And I'll say this, too. Talking about
• 59:08
  Speaker 4: money for commercials. all of our commercials are the same.
• 59:12
  Speaker 4: It's never about my policies are better than Bruce's. I'm
• 59:16
  Speaker 4: going to make you richer. I'm going to keep you safer.
• 59:19
  Speaker 4: I'm going to make New York better. It's never about that.
• 59:22
  Speaker 4: Every one of her commercials is, you want to vote
• 59:25
  Speaker 4: for this guy? He's Donald Trump's friend. Really? That's your campaign?
• 59:30
  Speaker 4: He's Donald Trump's friend? That's all she does.
• 59:33
  Speaker 14: Right.
• 59:34
  Speaker 17: When she started those negative ads a month ago, I
• 59:36
  Speaker 17: said to Bruce, I said, either the governor's got a
• 59:38
  Speaker 17: bad poll or you pissed her off or both. I
• 59:41
  Speaker 17: think it's because for her to run after four years
• 59:44
  Speaker 17: to run on a negative campaign against Bruce, she has
• 59:47
  Speaker 17: nothing to stand for. And Bruce is telling people he's
• 59:50
  Speaker 17: offering them hope he's going to make things better in
• 59:52
  Speaker 17: New York. He'll fight crime. He'll lower our taxes, lower,
• 59:56
  Speaker 17: you know, make it more affordable, lower our utility bills.
• 59:59
  Speaker 17: I mean, people want to hear that. And they know
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 17: that she's waiting with Mondami till after Election Day to
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 17: pass billions in tax increases, property tax hikes on homeowners
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 17: in New York City. I mean, raising income taxes.
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 14: I mean, you can look.
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 17: It's a it's a not well-kept secret. The Democrats, socialists
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 17: of America, their platform that Mondami wants to push the
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 17: tax increases he's asked for. They put them on ice
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 17: until after Election Day. If Bruce doesn't win, it's going
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 17: to cost New Yorkers billions. And it could cost us
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 17: a lot of jobs. And, you know, they'll be shutting
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 17: down Rikers Island on top.
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 4: That's terrible, too. I know that's terrible. I need to
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 4: ask you about the midterms. I know President Trump. was
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 4: out there in North Carolina yesterday for Whatley. People may
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 4: remember Whatley and President Trump's daughter-in-law, Laura Trump, my good buddy.
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 4: They ran the RNC and did a great job and
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 4: made sure that last election was secure. But right now,
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 4: at least, he's getting hammered by Roy Cooper. He's down
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 4: by about 12 points. And usually when President... No, is
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 4: that not true?
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 14: It's five or six.
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 17: There was a Trafalgar poll that had him down six.
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 12: All right.
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 4: Usually Trump goes out there. He helps you. But Trump
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 4: said to me on this show Friday, literally less than
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 4: a week ago, he said, Sid, I got to do
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 4: 35 states, like 30 congressmen, five senators. He goes, to
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 4: be honest, maybe you'll come with me. You got so
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 4: much energy. Maybe you can do five states. How about
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 4: I'll do 30, you'll do five. I said, sure. But
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 4: on a serious note, he's about to go out there
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 4: and campaign. People go, President Trump's not on the ballot. No,
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 4: you doofus. He certainly is. He's going to be campaigning
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 4: with all these candidates.
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 17: What's more important is what they stand for. I mean,
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 17: our mayor in New York City, Mondami is the tail
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 17: wig and the dog. The Democrat Socialists, before the Dallas
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 17: Midterm Convention, we had the Republicans trailing nationally in a
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 17: generic ballot for Congress by five points, so it's close.
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 17: The Senate's got 13 Senate seats in play out of 100.
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 17: The House has got a handful of seats, maybe 15
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 17: to 20, that are going to decide.
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 14: Who controls the House.
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 17: But the Republicans were down five in the generic. But
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 17: if we ask All things being equal, do you want
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 17: a free market capitalist Republican or a big government socialist Democrat?
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 17: Then the Republican goes ahead by seven. That big government socialism,
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 17: we don't want it. It needs to be about these Democrats.
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 17: The taxes they want to raise, they want to have
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 17: open borders. They want to go back to where they're
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 17: telling you when you can go out, when you can't
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 17: go out. They want control of this. The whole battle
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 17: over AI is they want to control that. They want
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 17: to get campaign donations.
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 12: It's corruption.
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 17: They want to increase the spending. We have to have
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 17: an agenda that says.
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 17: Are these Democrats going to lower your taxes or raise
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 17: your taxes? And they're going to raise it. Every Democrat
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 17: running for election this year voted to repeal the Trump
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 17: tax cuts. He would have had a $ 4 trillion tax
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 17: hike that would have cost every American.
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 12: About $ 2, 000.
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 17: So, you know, so it needs, when President Trump's out there,
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 17: they need to be focused on these Democrats, whether it's
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 17: El Sayed or Tallarico. El Sayed is, you know, he
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 17: sympathizes with terrorists. He's hanging out with a guy who
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 17: says 9-11 is our fault. And now he's trying to run.
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 12: Away from the guy.
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 17: I mean, these are the types of people the Democrats
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 17: have nominated. They're a disgrace. They don't represent our values.
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 17: And we'll pay off. It'll cost us if they get
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 17: elected and they're in Washington.
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 4: I think you're right. Well, we're going to see, John,
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 4: this is going to be a very interesting conversation Couple
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 4: of months. I'll give the boss your regards today.
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 14: Yes.
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 17: Tell him I'm working hard. I'm strapped to the computers
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 17: today looking at polls.
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 4: I'm going to tell him. I said, that poor John
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 4: hasn't left his house in weeks. He's going to make
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 4: sure you win every race.
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 17: Actually, I'm in the Washington area. I got to fly
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 17: back to New York tonight. So I did it quick,
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 17: but then back to more Zoom calls.
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 4: Oh, you're in D.C.
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 12: Today?
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 17: Yeah, but I have to go back to New York tonight.
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 4: What time are you leaving? Because I'll be there at 2.30.
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 17: Yeah.
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 4: Just in case you want to run by the White
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 4: House naked or something.
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 12: I don't know.
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 14: No, no, no, no.
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 17: We don't do that. Just too many secret service there.
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 17: Don't do that.
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 4: No, I'm not going to do that. I got a
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 4: very important couple of meetings. I love you, John. You're
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 4: the best pollster. You and your brother in the country
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 4: are a great New Yorker, a great American. And all
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 4: these guys, Blakeman, Trump, Bibi, they're all very lucky to
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 4: have you. And you're a great friend, John. You really are.
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 4: Thank you so much.
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 14: Thank you.
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 17: It's a battle this year, Sid.
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 12: Keep fighting.
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 17: Tell them they got to help us in New York.
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 4: I'm going to walk out with a big check. How
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 4: about that? And I'm going to tell them. I'm going
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 4: to tell J.D. and President Trump, not to help Bruce Blankman.
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 4: We need money here in New York. I promise you
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 4: I'll make that happen. I'll make that plea coming up
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 4: later on today. The great John McLaughlin, best pollster anywhere
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 4: in the world, him and his brother. We'll take a
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 4: short break. When we get back, the mayor's rent breeze. Oh,
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 4: all kinds of trouble there. Look at this sham board
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 4: that this guy put together. Inside job. And the man
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 4: that's at the center of all this, the great Randy Mastro.
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 4: He's back on Sid and Friends in the morning. He's next.
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 2: Sid and Friends in the Morning on the Red Apple
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 2: Podcast Network.
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 4: Come on, John Mellencamp.
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 14: Cougar.
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 4: Little Pink Houses for you and me. Talking about houses.
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 4: We'll talk about rent fees with my friend Randy Mastro
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 4: in a moment. I do want to send a shout
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 4: out right now to Nick Luna. Nick happens to be
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 4: the Vice President J.D. Vance's Chief of Staff. And he's
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 4: listening right now. I guess he got my number from
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 4: Will Martin, who's been helping me put this meeting together
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 4: today for weeks. So, Nick Luna, welcome aboard, buddy. Looking
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 4: forward to meeting your guy later on this afternoon in
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 4: the nation's capital. That meeting coming up at about... But
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 4: there is a big story locally here today. It reads,
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 4: Mondani accused of colluding on New York City rent freeze
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 4: as judge orders city hall to release emails, texts, in
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 4: scathing ruling. I am in love. I love this guy,
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 4: Judge Brendan Landry from Staten Island. This guy is exposing
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 4: Mondani as a fixer. This whole thing is rigged, and
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 4: nobody knows better than a man that has served this
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 4: city under both Rudy Giuliani and Eric Adams and is
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 4: now doing an unbelievable job representing New Yorkers with two
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 4: different lawsuits, the rent freeze and the second home tax,
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 4: my good buddy Randy Mastro. Randy, good morning, pal.
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 12: How are you?
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 7: Pleasure to be here, Sid.
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 4: Great to have you. So this is exciting that the
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 4: mayor is being exposed as basically, and whatever I'm wrong about,
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 4: just correct me, but what I'm reading is this guy
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 4: basically rigged this whole board to make sure that he
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 4: was going to get what he wanted, this rent freeze.
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 7: Well, that's the overarching theme of the lawsuit. He promised this.
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 7: He guaranteed this when he ran for mayor. So how
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 7: did he guarantee a rent freeze, unprecedented rent freeze, for
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 7: the first time in city history across the board, one-year,
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 7: two-year leases across the board?
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 12: How did he.
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 7: Guarantee that if he wasn't communicating with the board when
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 7: it was supposedly independently deciding what increases to impose? It
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 7: doesn't make any sense. So this judge, I think, absolutely
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 7: correctly ruled that Hey, we got to see what documents
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 7: there are, what communications there were, because the city has
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 7: admitted this rent guidelines board was supposed to be independent. Well,
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 7: now we're going to see how independent it was or
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 7: it wasn't and how much the mayor influenced it.
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 4: I mean, how could it be independent? And again, if
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 4: I'm wrong, correct me. What I'm reading from this is
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 4: that he basically he basically put people in position on
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 4: this board that were going to agree with him.
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 7: He stacked the board, super majority of the board, with
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 7: his acolytes, people who were largely already on record for
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 7: rent freeze. Then he spent millions of dollars on advocacy
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 7: campaigns to stack the board meetings with tenant advocates. And
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 7: then he had special briefings done by people in the
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 7: mayor's office to basically give this board instructions. All that
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 7: is going to come out.
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 4: And let's say all that does come out, and it
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 4: turns out that we find out for a fact this
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 4: guy stacked the board, this guy is giving out directions
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 4: and instructions to get what he wants. What would the
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 4: penalty be at best?
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 7: Well, that rent freeze gets invalidated. and the board has
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 7: to start over and apply the proper legal standard. There's
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 7: a statutory standard. They're supposed to consider the increase in
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 7: costs and less income that landlords are suffering, too. And,
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 7: you know, the board has got to issue a decision
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 7: that meets that statutory standard and is consistent with its
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 7: own data showing how much landlords are hurting right now
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 7: and how much small landlords are in jeopardy of losing
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 7: their properties.
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 4: If I'm wrong, you are actually representing these landlords right now.
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 4: We talked about this last time you were on. There
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 4: seems to be this issue that Mamdani just pictures and
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 4: complains every day about how horrible some of these apartments
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 4: are and they need fixing and blah, blah, blah. Some
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 4: of these landlords agree. They go, okay, but how am
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 4: I going to fix it? How am I going to
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 4: fix it if you freeze the rent and I'm not
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 4: taking in any money? So, I mean, he wants them
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 4: to do something, but at the same time, he's cutting
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 4: their balls off.
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 7: Well, it's that catch-22, right? Oh, we want you to
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 7: offer better apartments, but we're not going to give you
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 7: any credit for how much more you have to pay
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 7: to do that. Makes no sense. But the fact of
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 7: the matter is, look, we should win this case for
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 7: many reasons. The decision was arbitrary, capricious, illegal. But at
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 7: its core, the reason why it was all of those
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 7: things is because this mayor is engineered a sham process
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 7: to reach a predetermined outcome. We win either way. It's
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 7: an irrational, arbitrary, and capricious decision, first and foremost. But
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 7: it's also a decision that this mayor engineered to a
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 7: predetermined outcome. Wow.
• 1:10:41
  Speaker 4: This is unbelievable. I've got people texting me going, hey,
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 4: can you ask Randy what else does this mayor have
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 4: to do before Maybe he gets recalled or suspended or
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 4: some type of real punishment as we start to find
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 4: out more and more really gross things that this mayor
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 4: is doing and has done to push across what he promised.
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 7: Well, Sid, our system here in New York City doesn't
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 7: work that way. Only the governor has authority in... extreme
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 7: circumstances to alter the status of an elected official. But
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 7: the fact of the matter is that this is a
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 7: wake up call to all New Yorkers. You know, your
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 7: right to vote is precious and you better exercise it
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 7: and you better exercise better judgment when you elect a
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 7: officials to represent you because the consequences can be seismic
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 7: in your everyday life. And we're experiencing that right now
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 7: in New York City.
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 4: You really are. So now you got this, the rent-free thing,
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 4: this freeze seems like that's going to go the way
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 4: we want it to go. Let me skip back to
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 4: the second home tax, peer-to-peer, whatever they call it. I
• 1:11:56
  Speaker 4: don't know, some stupid French thing. Where are we with that?
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 4: Last time I spoke to you, it looked like, A, A,
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 4: you would have to wait too many people, maybe as
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 4: many as 8,000, 9,000, and you guys were pretty confident
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 4: you'd have to roll out that whole process all over again.
• 1:12:13
  Speaker 4: What about today?
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 7: First of all, from your lips to God's ears, a
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 7: lot of good things are happening, but cases aren't over
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 7: until they're over. On the Pieta tear tax, which is
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 7: called a surcharge, we're waiting for a decision from our
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 7: judge on Staten Island. We had a two-hour hearing there
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 7: on August 31st. We expect a decision any day now.
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 7: And that's the same judge who said there should be
• 1:12:44
  Speaker 7: a temporary restraining order against the city for their botched rollout.
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 7: So we remain hopeful that the judge will once again
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 7: tell the city, hey, you've got to do it over
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 7: again because you screwed up.
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 1: You didn't do your homework.
• 1:12:59
  Speaker 7: You didn't figure out who actually owed the tax. You
• 1:13:01
  Speaker 7: tried to switch the burden to homeowners to prove they
• 1:13:05
  Speaker 7: live in their own homes, and that's illegal and that's wrong.
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 4: Is this the same judge as Judge Landry in both?
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 7: No. Judge Landry is in Manhattan. Judge Ozzie is on
• 1:13:16
  Speaker 7: Staten Island. And in the New York state system, we
• 1:13:19
  Speaker 7: call them justices. And we are hopeful justice will be
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 7: done in both cases.
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 4: You know, one of the things that I will give
• 1:13:26
  Speaker 4: Eric Adams credit for, and you... is, look, he certainly
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 4: likes the Jewish people. You know, I didn't think he
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 4: did enough after October 7th, but that's a whole other story.
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 4: He certainly does. And he's pro-Israel, and he gets along
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 4: great with Netanyahu. So he's coming here a week from today, Randy,
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 4: a week from today to speak at the General Assembly
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 4: at the U.N. And this mayor, who you're involved with
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 4: court cases all day long, he's talked about arresting him.
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 4: He knew. He knew, Randy. He's not stupid. I don't
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 4: like him, but he's not stupid. He knew he never
• 1:13:59
  Speaker 4: had the authority to arrest Bibi, but he doesn't care.
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 4: And he knows when he says stuff like that, all
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 4: he's going to do is throw gasoline on top of
• 1:14:08
  Speaker 4: an anti-Semitic fire that is burning and raging here in
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 4: New York. What are your thoughts on Bibi coming here
• 1:14:15
  Speaker 4: a week from today?
• 1:14:17
  Speaker 17: Well, first of all, we are.
• 1:14:22
  Speaker 7: The home to the UN and welcome leaders from all
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 7: over the world, whether we like the person leading a
• 1:14:28
  Speaker 7: country or not. So it's incumbent upon us as the
• 1:14:33
  Speaker 7: host city to create an atmosphere where world leaders can
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 7: come here and debate in open forum at the UN.
• 1:14:42
  Speaker 7: What Mayor Mondani did earlier threatening to arrest Netanyahu, you're
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 7: absolutely right. He must have realized he had no legal authority.
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 7: He ultimately admitted that that was all public relations stunt
• 1:14:57
  Speaker 7: to appeal to his base. And his lawyer told him
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 7: he didn't have the legal authority. Of course, he didn't
• 1:15:04
  Speaker 7: have the legal authority. But that's just outrageous for a
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 7: mayor to conduct himself that way. And you are completely
• 1:15:14
  Speaker 7: right about this. I never thought I was going to
• 1:15:17
  Speaker 7: live in a city where anti-Semitism, hate crimes against Jews
• 1:15:24
  Speaker 7: were the predominant hate crime in our city. More hate
• 1:15:27
  Speaker 7: crimes against Jews than all other hate crimes combined. Wasn't
• 1:15:33
  Speaker 7: that way when I was in City Hall in the 90s?
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 7: Wasn't even on the radar screen. But today, hate crimes
• 1:15:39
  Speaker 7: against Jews more than against all other groups combined.
• 1:15:43
  Speaker 12: And it's spiking.
• 1:15:46
  Speaker 7: In this administration, you would think a mayor, that's a
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 7: five alarm fire, you would think a mayor of a
• 1:15:52
  Speaker 7: city with the largest Jewish population in the world, larger
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 7: than any city in Israel, would be making that a
• 1:15:59
  Speaker 7: top priority instead of stoking the fires. It is shameful.
• 1:16:04
  Speaker 4: You know, last one, you worked with Rudy, and I
• 1:16:07
  Speaker 4: love Rudy. I still love Rudy. I love him so much.
• 1:16:10
  Speaker 4: You know I do, Andy. You know that, okay? But
• 1:16:12
  Speaker 4: you probably saw all the articles last week that I
• 1:16:16
  Speaker 4: was really upset. I even used the word, broke my heart,
• 1:16:19
  Speaker 4: words I should say. when Rudy shook hands with Mom
• 1:16:23
  Speaker 4: Donnie at the 9-11 ceremony last week. Now, some people
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 4: said he didn't realize it by the time he looked up.
• 1:16:29
  Speaker 4: He didn't even know who he was shaking hands with,
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 4: and he's a gentleman, and all that's true. Okay, fine,
• 1:16:33
  Speaker 4: but I'm sorry. I watched Rudy on Newsmax kill this guy,
• 1:16:37
  Speaker 4: kill him for months, saying he shouldn't be there, and
• 1:16:40
  Speaker 4: then you shake his hand? So I still love Rudy
• 1:16:43
  Speaker 4: every much today as I did last Thursday, but when
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 4: I saw that, that bothered me. What are your thoughts
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 4: on that?
• 1:16:51
  Speaker 7: Well, Sid, great respect for you, and I understand why
• 1:16:55
  Speaker 7: you have that view. That's a solemn day and a
• 1:16:58
  Speaker 7: solemn ceremony. People should be there, not as politicians, not
• 1:17:05
  Speaker 7: in anger against other politicians, but in sorrow for that
• 1:17:12
  Speaker 7: sacred day and to honor the memories of those we
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 7: lost today. And always to remember that day. It's not
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 7: a day for slapping someone's hand in the way or
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 7: playing politics. So I respect what Rudy did. And I
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 7: said on the show before, I thought that while I
• 1:17:36
  Speaker 7: understand the view of those who felt so strongly that
• 1:17:40
  Speaker 7: Mayor Mondani shouldn't have been there, that's a day when
• 1:17:44
  Speaker 7: people should go and honor Rudy. our fallen heroes and
• 1:17:48
  Speaker 7: all those whose lives were lost. And a mayor, whether
• 1:17:52
  Speaker 7: you like that mayor or not, a mayor should be honoring.
• 1:17:56
  Speaker 7: So I think that what Rudy did that day was
• 1:17:59
  Speaker 7: the right thing, was not to make political statements, was
• 1:18:03
  Speaker 7: not to have acrimony between politicians. It was to honor
• 1:18:08
  Speaker 7: our fallen heroes.
• 1:18:09
  Speaker 4: Well, you're right. I'm an immature barbarian. I admit it.
• 1:18:16
  Speaker 4: You're 1,000% right. Not even up for debate. But I
• 1:18:19
  Speaker 4: just wanted to bring it up anyway. You are so great,
• 1:18:22
  Speaker 4: Randy Mastro. You know I feel that way. So thank
• 1:18:25
  Speaker 4: you for all the hard work you're doing for New Yorkers.
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 4: And not one but two lawsuits. And keep coming out
• 1:18:29
  Speaker 4: because we love you. Thank you, Randy.
• 1:18:32
  Speaker 7: My pleasure. Great to be with you, sir.
• 1:18:33
  Speaker 4: You too, Randy. Randy Mastro right there. And what a
• 1:18:36
  Speaker 4: great guy. Served alongside Rudy, alongside Eric Adams. And now
• 1:18:40
  Speaker 4: representing New York in two lawsuits against Mom Donnie. That creepy.
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 4: And this city, he's right about, Rudy. He did the
• 1:18:46
  Speaker 4: right thing. We'll take a short break. Still more to come, including...
• 1:18:49
  Speaker 4: Victoria Coates and Bill O'Reilly. Survivor, can't hold back. I
• 1:19:01
  Speaker 4: used to love Survivor. Maybe the most famous song is
• 1:19:04
  Speaker 4: Eye of the Tiger, obviously, but this one. I Can't
• 1:19:06
  Speaker 4: Hold Back is a great song. Great song. I just
• 1:19:09
  Speaker 4: got a call. I have to say this. I just
• 1:19:12
  Speaker 4: received a call from a gentleman named Nick Luna. I
• 1:19:15
  Speaker 4: mentioned him last segment. He happens to be J.D. Vance's
• 1:19:19
  Speaker 4: chief of staff. He's originally from New York. What a
• 1:19:22
  Speaker 4: great guy. What a great guy. Dealing with Will Martin,
• 1:19:27
  Speaker 4: part of J.D. 's team, now talking to Luna, who
• 1:19:30
  Speaker 4: used to work alongside Trump, Vance's chief of staff. I
• 1:19:34
  Speaker 4: like all these guys, you know. So I told him,
• 1:19:38
  Speaker 4: I said, look, I didn't vote for Trump in 2016.
• 1:19:41
  Speaker 4: I voted for Hillary. And look at me and Trump now.
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 4: But I'm going to see Trump today. When I'm done
• 1:19:46
  Speaker 4: with J.D., I plan on going over. He's expecting me
• 1:19:49
  Speaker 4: to the Oval Office. Well, best buddies were great. Great. So, yeah,
• 1:19:54
  Speaker 4: I've been a Marco Rubio guy. But the fact that J.D.
• 1:19:58
  Speaker 4: and his team reached out to me, And they want
• 1:20:01
  Speaker 4: to have this conversation knowing full well, knowing full well
• 1:20:05
  Speaker 4: that I got some major issues. Israel, Tucker Carlson, even
• 1:20:10
  Speaker 4: the way he's talked about Trump. Not just him, but
• 1:20:14
  Speaker 4: mostly his friends. When I say J.D., I mean his friends.
• 1:20:18
  Speaker 4: When Tucker Carlson refers to President Trump as the Antichrist,
• 1:20:21
  Speaker 4: that ain't going to work for me. So I got issues,
• 1:20:25
  Speaker 4: but he's a Republican. And, you know, there's never going
• 1:20:31
  Speaker 4: to be a day where I'm going to endorse and
• 1:20:33
  Speaker 4: or vote for AOC over J.D. Vance or Gavin Newsom
• 1:20:38
  Speaker 4: over J.D. Vance or that moron Kamala Harris over J.D. Vance.
• 1:20:43
  Speaker 4: Not going to happen. So, you know, J.D. is in
• 1:20:46
  Speaker 4: the mix for me, as is my dear friend Marco Rubio,
• 1:20:50
  Speaker 4: maybe Teddy Cruz and others. But I'm honored that the
• 1:20:53
  Speaker 4: vice president and his team thought enough of me to
• 1:20:57
  Speaker 4: make this happen today. It's a big deal. So I'll
• 1:21:00
  Speaker 4: be on the 1030 train out of Penn Station to Washington, D.C.
• 1:21:04
  Speaker 4: to meet with J.D. Vance this afternoon. Coming up next,
• 1:21:07
  Speaker 4: we love this lady. She's the VP of the Heritage Foundation.
• 1:21:11
  Speaker 4: She is great on every major foreign policy topic. Victoria Coates,
• 1:21:16
  Speaker 4: back on Sid and Friends in the Morning. She's next.
• 1:21:20
  Speaker 2: Sid and Friends in the Morning on the Red Apple
• 1:21:24
  Speaker 2: Podcast Network.
• 1:21:26
  Speaker 4: Sunday, bloody Sunday, you too. And that was President Trump.
• 1:21:31
  Speaker 4: That was on this show just Friday. He said that
• 1:21:34
  Speaker 4: six days ago. We were together in Dallas and looking
• 1:21:38
  Speaker 4: forward to see the president this afternoon in Washington, D.C.
• 1:21:41
  Speaker 4: But first, Victoria Coates does an amazing job as a
• 1:21:45
  Speaker 4: VP of the Heritage Foundation on this show often. I
• 1:21:50
  Speaker 4: used to have a split between me and Maria, but
• 1:21:53
  Speaker 4: something happened there. I don't know. I'm still waiting to
• 1:21:55
  Speaker 4: find out the truth. I love Maria Bartiromo, and she'll
• 1:21:58
  Speaker 4: be back somewhere and be great again, I'm sure. But
• 1:22:00
  Speaker 4: I still got her, Victoria Coates. So good morning, Victoria.
• 1:22:03
  Speaker 4: How are you?
• 1:22:05
  Speaker 14: Well, good morning, Sid.
• 1:22:06
  Speaker 20: I wanted to start by presenting my compliments to your
• 1:22:08
  Speaker 20: Giants for beating Dallas on Sunday.
• 1:22:11
  Speaker 14: That brought us all together.
• 1:22:13
  Speaker 4: You like that.
• 1:22:14
  Speaker 14: They might get a peace prize.
• 1:22:16
  Speaker 4: You like that. And your Eagles didn't look so good.
• 1:22:19
  Speaker 4: You got the win against Washington, but didn't look so good.
• 1:22:23
  Speaker 14: I thought Jalen's line was pretty good. Yeah, he was.
• 1:22:26
  Speaker 14: We have a new offense, and so we'll see what
• 1:22:29
  Speaker 14: happens this week. But we were cautiously optimistic following the game.
• 1:22:33
  Speaker 4: You got the win. So thank you for the giant
• 1:22:35
  Speaker 4: kind words, and you guys won too. And here we go,
• 1:22:38
  Speaker 4: Giants and Eagles. I think they'll be the last two
• 1:22:39
  Speaker 4: teams standing inside the NFC East.
• 1:22:42
  Speaker 14: We will see.
• 1:22:43
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 1:22:43
  Speaker 20: And also great compliments to you for this meeting. I
• 1:22:46
  Speaker 20: was reading about it Politico this morning.
• 1:22:49
  Speaker 14: And then hearing you talk about it.
• 1:22:51
  Speaker 20: I think this is critically important. This was my message
• 1:22:53
  Speaker 20: when I was in Israel at the beginning of the month.
• 1:22:56
  Speaker 17: It's it's.
• 1:22:58
  Speaker 20: You know, we're going to have a spirited primary. We
• 1:23:00
  Speaker 20: all have folks we like personally are committed to going
• 1:23:04
  Speaker 20: through this process.
• 1:23:05
  Speaker 14: We should, the president said repeatedly, we should have a
• 1:23:08
  Speaker 14: strong primary, get everybody all tuned up. But when we
• 1:23:11
  Speaker 14: have a nominee, I'm telling you, Sid, everybody has to
• 1:23:14
  Speaker 14: get in the canoe and start rowing because the alternative
• 1:23:18
  Speaker 14: is unconscionable. And so I really respect your willingness to
• 1:23:22
  Speaker 14: go down and engage. I've known Nick Luna for years.
• 1:23:26
  Speaker 20: He is a good man. And I think, you know,
• 1:23:29
  Speaker 20: that this is a really, really important step. So thank
• 1:23:32
  Speaker 20: you for doing it.
• 1:23:32
  Speaker 4: Well, that's a big deal coming from you, to be honest, Victoria.
• 1:23:35
  Speaker 4: Thank you for saying that. Seriously, thank you very, very much.
• 1:23:38
  Speaker 4: And I was just told by my friend John McLaughlin
• 1:23:41
  Speaker 4: that Nick Luna is the grandson of the late Republican
• 1:23:46
  Speaker 4: senator from Tennessee, Brett Thompson.
• 1:23:49
  Speaker 14: Yes, that is true.
• 1:23:50
  Speaker 4: That's huge.
• 1:23:52
  Speaker 20: He's married to Cassidy Dumbled, who's Jared's chief of staff.
• 1:23:55
  Speaker 4: Jared Kushner. That's right. So and Trump loves him. I
• 1:23:57
  Speaker 4: know Trump loves him and you love him. So I
• 1:23:59
  Speaker 4: love him. And look, it's like you said, there is
• 1:24:02
  Speaker 4: no there's no other way. If it comes down to J.D.
• 1:24:05
  Speaker 4: Vance versus any Democrat, I don't care who it is.
• 1:24:09
  Speaker 4: It's J.D.
• 1:24:09
  Speaker 12: Vance.
• 1:24:10
  Speaker 4: So we can get all fired up if Marco decides
• 1:24:13
  Speaker 4: to run and Ted is going to run and We'll
• 1:24:15
  Speaker 4: all get crazy with all of this, but when the
• 1:24:17
  Speaker 4: vice president calls you and says, come to D.C., I
• 1:24:20
  Speaker 4: want to talk to you, what kind of moron wouldn't
• 1:24:22
  Speaker 4: do it?
• 1:24:23
  Speaker 12: No.
• 1:24:24
  Speaker 14: No, this is going to be a good day. So
• 1:24:26
  Speaker 14: I look forward to hearing about it on the other side.
• 1:24:28
  Speaker 4: Thank you, Victoria. I'll let you know for sure. Let's
• 1:24:30
  Speaker 4: get to some of the things you want to talk
• 1:24:32
  Speaker 4: about today, which is the U.S. energy policy. You know,
• 1:24:36
  Speaker 4: it says on my notes, after the Iran conflict, and
• 1:24:40
  Speaker 4: of course a lot of us want to know exactly
• 1:24:42
  Speaker 4: when that's going to be. Some say it's already over,
• 1:24:44
  Speaker 4: we've already won, but you know what, I have not
• 1:24:46
  Speaker 4: subscribed to that, not yet. I want to, but I'm
• 1:24:49
  Speaker 4: not there yet. But what do you think happens here?
• 1:24:51
  Speaker 4: I think I read that you wanted a full reset.
• 1:24:54
  Speaker 4: Is that correct?
• 1:24:56
  Speaker 20: Well, I always hesitate to use the word reset because
• 1:25:00
  Speaker 20: Hillary used it. But I think we're going to see
• 1:25:02
  Speaker 20: a remapping of the Middle East.
• 1:25:04
  Speaker 14: And this is already happening.
• 1:25:05
  Speaker 20: We had the meeting in Germany earlier this month of
• 1:25:08
  Speaker 20: essentially the GCC plus Jordan and Egypt plus Israel. All
• 1:25:13
  Speaker 20: meeting under sent count. Admiral Cooper chaired that meeting. And
• 1:25:17
  Speaker 20: now there are reports today that the president is going
• 1:25:20
  Speaker 20: to convene the heads of state. and the high-ranking representatives
• 1:25:24
  Speaker 20: of those governments around the United Nations General Assembly next week,
• 1:25:28
  Speaker 20: for which I apologize to everyone.
• 1:25:30
  Speaker 7: In New York.
• 1:25:30
  Speaker 14: It's a horrible time. But that's really important. That's the
• 1:25:34
  Speaker 14: president bringing people together on the military side. Oh, and
• 1:25:37
  Speaker 14: then we had the G20 energy ministers in Houston this week.
• 1:25:41
  Speaker 14: So we have all of these meetings taking place under U.S. auspices.
• 1:25:45
  Speaker 14: I don't see China doing anything like this. And I
• 1:25:47
  Speaker 14: don't see Russia doing anything like this by any stretch
• 1:25:50
  Speaker 14: of the imagination. And so the United States is actually
• 1:25:53
  Speaker 14: getting stronger. So as we do resolve this conflict, I
• 1:25:56
  Speaker 14: think it will wrap up after the midterms. Then we
• 1:26:01
  Speaker 14: can start rebuilding what people refer to as the global order,
• 1:26:06
  Speaker 14: but do it in President Trump's parameters.
• 1:26:09
  Speaker 4: Well, what exactly is the aforementioned Vice President J.D. Vance
• 1:26:12
  Speaker 4: talking about, Victoria, when he said a couple of days
• 1:26:15
  Speaker 4: ago that the Iran war is about to enter a
• 1:26:18
  Speaker 4: new phase? What exactly is he talking about?
• 1:26:21
  Speaker 20: Yeah, I think that that is consistent with what I understand.
• 1:26:25
  Speaker 14: Which is the Iranians calculated that the president would be
• 1:26:28
  Speaker 14: forced to the negotiating table before the midterms to try
• 1:26:31
  Speaker 14: to bring energy prices down. And the president, God love him,
• 1:26:36
  Speaker 14: he is not going to do that. He's not going
• 1:26:38
  Speaker 14: to knuckle.
• 1:26:38
  Speaker 20: Under for anyone, especially Tehran. And so he just said,
• 1:26:42
  Speaker 20: you know what, I'm going to try to explain this
• 1:26:44
  Speaker 20: to the American people. We're going to keep pumping like crazy. And,
• 1:26:48
  Speaker 20: you know, we're going to do our best to keep
• 1:26:50
  Speaker 20: prices down. But the most important thing is to keep
• 1:26:52
  Speaker 20: a nuclear weapon out of their hands. And so we're
• 1:26:55
  Speaker 20: going to keep the pressure on. And so what the
• 1:26:58
  Speaker 20: Iranians are now facing is not six more.
• 1:27:00
  Speaker 14: Weeks of this. They're facing six more weeks and two years.
• 1:27:03
  Speaker 14: And they can't do that.
• 1:27:04
  Speaker 20: So I think, you know, the president really turned the
• 1:27:06
  Speaker 20: tables on them. And, you know, hopefully we will continue
• 1:27:10
  Speaker 20: to make the case to the American people for the midterms.
• 1:27:13
  Speaker 20: But the long term play that he's he's engaged in,
• 1:27:17
  Speaker 20: you know, to keep that weapon out of the Iranians hands.
• 1:27:19
  Speaker 14: I think we're well on our way to realizing that
• 1:27:22
  Speaker 14: and that we will, as the vice president says, be
• 1:27:24
  Speaker 14: in this new phase, you know, in the coming weeks.
• 1:27:27
  Speaker 4: You know, you mentioned China moments ago and. President Trump
• 1:27:31
  Speaker 4: right now is only concerned in this AI discussion about
• 1:27:35
  Speaker 4: staying ahead of China, not coming back to beat them,
• 1:27:38
  Speaker 4: because we are beating them. Just about every measurement of AI.
• 1:27:42
  Speaker 4: I had Gordon Chang on this show for 10 minutes yesterday.
• 1:27:45
  Speaker 4: We're beating them. But, but, you know, they're tough. They
• 1:27:48
  Speaker 4: are tough. And he is deathly afraid to fall behind.
• 1:27:51
  Speaker 4: And now you got mostly Democrats, because Elon Musk is
• 1:27:54
  Speaker 4: not really a Republican, mostly Democrats led by Barack Obama,
• 1:27:58
  Speaker 4: yelling and screaming, the world is coming to an end,
• 1:28:00
  Speaker 4: the bots are going to kill us, we're all going
• 1:28:02
  Speaker 4: to die, we need safe rails and guardrails and all that.
• 1:28:05
  Speaker 4: Some of that's true. Same thing with data centers. No
• 1:28:08
  Speaker 4: one on the right is saying that these things don't
• 1:28:11
  Speaker 4: come with a certain amount of risk. But the reward
• 1:28:15
  Speaker 4: heavily outweighs the risk. President Trump knows that. The Democrats don't.
• 1:28:21
  Speaker 4: What do you think happens moving forward?
• 1:28:24
  Speaker 14: No, I think this is going to be a generational
• 1:28:26
  Speaker 14: issue for us. And the question that I have that
• 1:28:29
  Speaker 14: nobody's really been able to answer is, how does China
• 1:28:32
  Speaker 14: keep a free, unfettered AI pursuit and keep the control
• 1:28:37
  Speaker 14: that they have over their people? because all of that
• 1:28:40
  Speaker 14: is based on controlling information. That's how they keep their
• 1:28:44
  Speaker 14: totalitarian regime in control. So if they open up to
• 1:28:47
  Speaker 14: unfettered AI development, which is what they say they're going
• 1:28:50
  Speaker 14: to do, how does that not completely liberate the Chinese
• 1:28:54
  Speaker 14: people and undermine their control? So I'm very curious about that.
• 1:28:59
  Speaker 14: And I do think we need to keep pushing them.
• 1:29:01
  Speaker 14: in that direction. We need to keep advancing. So they're
• 1:29:03
  Speaker 14: trying to keep up. It kind of turns into, you know,
• 1:29:06
  Speaker 14: the sort of the end of the Soviet Union where,
• 1:29:08
  Speaker 14: you know, we're going after SDI. They have to try
• 1:29:11
  Speaker 14: to pursue it as well. They lose control.
• 1:29:14
  Speaker 20: And so I think, you know, the president's.
• 1:29:16
  Speaker 14: On the right track. We obviously want to do this safely.
• 1:29:20
  Speaker 20: We want to do it mindfully, particularly of our children.
• 1:29:24
  Speaker 20: And we don't want to create... genocidal bots that are
• 1:29:28
  Speaker 20: going to come after us, obviously. But that should be
• 1:29:30
  Speaker 20: within our capabilities. And I really am so curious to
• 1:29:34
  Speaker 20: see how China handles this.
• 1:29:36
  Speaker 4: Well, he's coming, Xi.
• 1:29:38
  Speaker 12: Very soon.
• 1:29:39
  Speaker 4: Yeah, he's coming. And a lot of people want to
• 1:29:42
  Speaker 4: see how that goes, the dynamic between Trump. Because remember,
• 1:29:45
  Speaker 4: when the president, when our friend went to China, everything
• 1:29:48
  Speaker 4: seemed very, very nice. Although people tell me behind closed
• 1:29:51
  Speaker 4: doors were some issues. And then as soon as he
• 1:29:53
  Speaker 4: got home, he held that... press conference, that news conference
• 1:29:57
  Speaker 4: on the networks where he talked about China rigging the
• 1:30:00
  Speaker 4: 2020 election. You know that Xi saw that, of course.
• 1:30:03
  Speaker 4: So now people are curious, when Xi gets here, all
• 1:30:06
  Speaker 4: kinds of issues with China. We know for a fact
• 1:30:09
  Speaker 4: that they are helping with arms with Iran in this race.
• 1:30:13
  Speaker 4: Also satellites, they've helped Iran in this conflict. All kinds
• 1:30:18
  Speaker 4: of issues. What do you expect between Trump and Xi
• 1:30:21
  Speaker 4: when he gets here?
• 1:30:23
  Speaker 14: No, I think the president does have a cordial relationship.
• 1:30:27
  Speaker 20: With Chairman Xi, and that's something he's willing to leverage
• 1:30:30
  Speaker 20: to to diffuse the possibility of conflict, because the worst
• 1:30:33
  Speaker 20: thing for everyone would be armed conflict between the United
• 1:30:36
  Speaker 20: States and China. We have estimations that on day one.
• 1:30:40
  Speaker 20: of a conflict, you have a 10% global GDP contraction.
• 1:30:45
  Speaker 20: And it gets worse from there, regardless of how long
• 1:30:47
  Speaker 20: it goes and regardless of who wins. That's global depression, essentially.
• 1:30:52
  Speaker 20: We really want to avoid that. So if the president
• 1:30:54
  Speaker 20: wants to have some photo ops with Chairman Xi, maybe
• 1:30:56
  Speaker 20: give him.
• 1:30:57
  Speaker 14: A nice piece of that chocolate cake he liked so
• 1:30:59
  Speaker 14: much down at Mar-a-Lago. I'm fine with that.
• 1:31:02
  Speaker 20: But at the same time, he has made very.
• 1:31:04
  Speaker 14: Clear that that he's playing hardball. He's playing for the
• 1:31:07
  Speaker 14: United States of America. We want to avoid conflict. That
• 1:31:10
  Speaker 14: doesn't mean we're going to just appease them. We're going
• 1:31:14
  Speaker 14: to defend our interests. And that global depression is as
• 1:31:19
  Speaker 14: bad for them as it is for us. So hopefully
• 1:31:21
  Speaker 14: we can get through this period without that happening.
• 1:31:23
  Speaker 4: Final 60 seconds, Victoria. You and I have spent time
• 1:31:26
  Speaker 4: together in Jerusalem the last two years. We both spoke
• 1:31:29
  Speaker 4: at JNS.org's International Summit Conference. We spoke actually the same
• 1:31:34
  Speaker 4: block the last two years. And you really are great.
• 1:31:37
  Speaker 4: And they love you in Israel. You love Israel. So
• 1:31:39
  Speaker 4: do I. And you know I'm friendly with Bibi and
• 1:31:41
  Speaker 4: so are you. So what do you expect when the
• 1:31:43
  Speaker 4: prime minister makes his way to New York a week
• 1:31:46
  Speaker 4: from today?
• 1:31:47
  Speaker 14: Well, he better not get arrested. I mean, it's just
• 1:31:53
  Speaker 14: ridiculous that it would even be a sentence that one
• 1:31:55
  Speaker 14: would say. So I think the prime minister will give
• 1:31:57
  Speaker 14: a very strong speech at the United Nations. They're going
• 1:32:01
  Speaker 14: to need to hear it. Some real clear language on
• 1:32:04
  Speaker 14: what is and is not happening in Gaza, what their
• 1:32:07
  Speaker 14: intentions are for Lebanon, what they are concerned about in Syria.
• 1:32:11
  Speaker 14: And I think we're going to hear a lot about
• 1:32:12
  Speaker 14: Turkey because when I was there at the beginning of
• 1:32:15
  Speaker 14: the month, that was a very hot topic with everyone
• 1:32:18
  Speaker 14: is what is going to go on with Turkey. So
• 1:32:20
  Speaker 14: I think it'll be another good visit. I think it's night.
• 1:32:24
  Speaker 14: I'm losing count of how.
• 1:32:26
  Speaker 4: Many times he's met with President Trump.
• 1:32:28
  Speaker 14: Uh in in this in this second term so you
• 1:32:31
  Speaker 14: know we'll continue that real close collaboration it's always good
• 1:32:34
  Speaker 14: to see him i saw uh minister sar when i
• 1:32:37
  Speaker 14: was in new york this week so uh they are
• 1:32:40
  Speaker 14: all ready for him to arrive and i i think
• 1:32:42
  Speaker 14: we'll have a good.
• 1:32:43
  Speaker 4: Unga are we subservient to israel.
• 1:32:46
  Speaker 12: No.
• 1:32:47
  Speaker 14: Donald Trump is not subservient to anyone, neither is the
• 1:32:49
  Speaker 14: United States.
• 1:32:50
  Speaker 4: Okay. That's a word I'll have to bring up with
• 1:32:52
  Speaker 4: the vice president later on today. I say, J.D., there's
• 1:32:55
  Speaker 4: a lot of words you could have used. I'm not
• 1:32:57
  Speaker 4: sure I would have used that one. Anyway, you are
• 1:33:00
  Speaker 4: so great. I love you. Thank you for coming on today.
• 1:33:02
  Speaker 4: We'll do it again very, very soon.

  Speaker 12: Thank you, Sid. I want you to bring the book

  Speaker 12: down to D.C. You're going down there today, right?
• 1:34:53
  Speaker 4: I am today, yes.
• 1:34:55
  Speaker 12: So I want you to bring two things. The book,
• 1:34:58
  Speaker 12: because that will make the train ride go very fast.
• 1:35:00
  Speaker 4: I love that. Love it.
• 1:35:02
  Speaker 12: Yeah, and a tent. So you don't have to get accommodations.
• 1:35:06
  Speaker 12: You can just have a tent on the white-out-the-grounds. Sid's tent.
• 1:35:11
  Speaker 4: I like that. Yeah, I like it. Now, should I
• 1:35:16
  Speaker 4: put that right outside of Vance's office or right outside
• 1:35:19
  Speaker 4: the Oval Office? You tell me.
• 1:35:20
  Speaker 12: Well, I'd always go for the Oval Office. You may
• 1:35:24
  Speaker 12: get hammered by the construction people there, but.
• 1:35:29
  Speaker 12: Sid's tent. And it'll become a cause to love. All
• 1:35:33
  Speaker 12: the politicians will stop by for a burger or whatever
• 1:35:36
  Speaker 12: you're serving that day.
• 1:35:37
  Speaker 4: It's a great idea. I love it. You know what's
• 1:35:39
  Speaker 4: funny about that? As you're telling me that, I swear
• 1:35:42
  Speaker 4: to God, you've got great timing. I'm watching from the
• 1:35:44
  Speaker 4: right corner of my eye. Fox News, feds charge three
• 1:35:48
  Speaker 4: with stealing $ 12 million in homeless aid, and they're showing
• 1:35:53
  Speaker 4: sky views of all the tents. Talking about tents.
• 1:35:58
  Speaker 12: All the tents.
• 1:35:59
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 1:36:00
  Speaker 12: My prediction is this will be the biggest scandal. I mean,
• 1:36:05
  Speaker 12: this is like Minnesota shoplifting Tootsie Rolls. Remember Tootsie Rolls? Yeah.
• 1:36:10
  Speaker 12: The amount of money that was stolen. in California, and
• 1:36:15
  Speaker 12: it's our money, because the states contribute to the federal government,
• 1:36:21
  Speaker 12: that's the IRS, and then the federal government gives it
• 1:36:25
  Speaker 12: to Congress, and then Congress allocates money to all 51 states.
• 1:36:31
  Speaker 12: It's 50 states, of course, but I'm counting Canada as
• 1:36:34
  Speaker 12: a state now.
• 1:36:35
  Speaker 17: So.
• 1:36:38
  Speaker 12: They got to surrender up there. Even the moose are
• 1:36:41
  Speaker 12: looking at Carney going, hey, come on. All right. Let's go.
• 1:36:45
  Speaker 12: Let's just make a deal.
• 1:36:46
  Speaker 7: All right.
• 1:36:46
  Speaker 12: We had a nice life up here just running around
• 1:36:49
  Speaker 12: the pine forest and you're just screwing everything up. So anyway,
• 1:36:56
  Speaker 12: the book that just came out, what I think the
• 1:37:01
  Speaker 12: beauty of this book is, is eyewitness history. It's me.
• 1:37:05
  Speaker 12: I've seen all this. And there's no anonymous sources. I
• 1:37:09
  Speaker 12: just name everybody. They did this. They did that. I
• 1:37:14
  Speaker 12: was there. And it all has to do with solving
• 1:37:18
  Speaker 12: our problems. And we have a lot of problems in
• 1:37:22
  Speaker 12: this country, a lot. And they need to be addressed,
• 1:37:27
  Speaker 12: and they're not being addressed. And so I got fed up.
• 1:37:32
  Speaker 12: This is a fed-up book. I said, okay, here's your problem.
• 1:37:37
  Speaker 12: Here's a solution. If you do this, the problem will dissipate. And,
• 1:37:43
  Speaker 12: you know, that's what the whole thing is about. And
• 1:37:48
  Speaker 12: I think it's going to be a big book by
• 1:37:49
  Speaker 12: word of mouth because people like you and me, we
• 1:37:54
  Speaker 12: want things to get better. Now, there is an element
• 1:37:58
  Speaker 12: that doesn't want to get– they want things to get worse.
• 1:38:01
  Speaker 12: The communists, socialists, whatever they're calling themselves today– Okay? They
• 1:38:06
  Speaker 12: don't want to solve any problems. And unfortunately, Congress is
• 1:38:10
  Speaker 12: kind of in that soup. And then they all run
• 1:38:13
  Speaker 12: around going, I'm going to do this, I'm going to
• 1:38:15
  Speaker 12: do this, I'm going to... And they don't do anything.
• 1:38:18
  Speaker 12: All right? This Save America bill should have been passed
• 1:38:21
  Speaker 12: a long time ago.
• 1:38:22
  Speaker 4: Agreed.
• 1:38:22
  Speaker 12: Agreed. 100%.
• 1:38:23
  Speaker 4: I mean, come on.
• 1:38:25
  Speaker 12: Stop with the, well, old lady, old... granny Sue can't
• 1:38:31
  Speaker 12: vote because she lives in the forest and there's no mailbox.
• 1:38:36
  Speaker 12: So we got to send some guy named Zeke in
• 1:38:39
  Speaker 12: to get a vote. Stop. Stop.
• 1:38:42
  Speaker 4: Well, they're cheating. I mean, we know that they're cheating.
• 1:38:44
  Speaker 4: That's why they don't want it. But when you say
• 1:38:47
  Speaker 4: this actually fascinated me moments ago, we have big problems
• 1:38:50
  Speaker 4: and you have solutions. Some of these problems the president
• 1:38:55
  Speaker 4: is not trying to fix or he can't fix. What
• 1:38:58
  Speaker 4: about the president's role?
• 1:39:00
  Speaker 12: Well, it's an interesting question. And I hope you ask
• 1:39:05
  Speaker 12: Vice President Vance that question, too. Number one, the executive branch,
• 1:39:10
  Speaker 12: and for you people educated in New York City public schools,
• 1:39:14
  Speaker 12: that's the president and vice president. Hello. Go out there.
• 1:39:19
  Speaker 12: What's the executive branch?
• 1:39:23
  Speaker 4: It's Mom Donnie.
• 1:39:25
  Speaker 12: Right, right. I have no idea.
• 1:39:27
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 1:39:27
  Speaker 12: So the tendency is... And this goes way back to
• 1:39:32
  Speaker 12: Thomas Jefferson, all right, to just tell the people what
• 1:39:35
  Speaker 12: they want to hear. I'm going to do this. I'm
• 1:39:39
  Speaker 12: going to do that. And then because it's hard, a
• 1:39:45
  Speaker 12: lot of stuff doesn't get done. But I give President
• 1:39:49
  Speaker 12: Trump credit for trying, trying. Did Biden try? Never. Never.
• 1:39:59
  Speaker 12: All Biden did was screw things up so badly, it's
• 1:40:02
  Speaker 12: taken Trump more than a year to even straighten it out.
• 1:40:07
  Speaker 12: And that's what ICE is all about. That's what Homeland
• 1:40:10
  Speaker 12: Security is all about. How much time and money had
• 1:40:13
  Speaker 12: been spent trying to straighten this open border, everybody in here,
• 1:40:21
  Speaker 12: all the criminals, problem out? My God. And Trump's got
• 1:40:27
  Speaker 12: to deal with that. Sometimes he's successful and sometimes he
• 1:40:32
  Speaker 12: isn't because sometimes he gets diverted. And, you know, look,
• 1:40:38
  Speaker 12: does it really matter that the Kennedy Center is the
• 1:40:41
  Speaker 12: Trump Kennedy Center? No, no, no one cares. All right. No.
• 1:40:48
  Speaker 12: What matters is that we whip the mullets. That matters.
• 1:40:54
  Speaker 12: And that President Trump tried to do an enormous thing.
• 1:40:59
  Speaker 12: would change the U.S. economy from a service-generated economy, which
• 1:41:04
  Speaker 12: means that you work for somebody that provides something for
• 1:41:11
  Speaker 12: other people, that's how they make money, to a manufacturing economy.
• 1:41:15
  Speaker 12: And it's worked. The latest labor data says that American
• 1:41:21
  Speaker 12: homes are more prosperous now than they've been in decades.
• 1:41:27
  Speaker 12: Because there are more high-paying manufacturing jobs in the private sector.
• 1:41:34
  Speaker 12: And there's a lot of reasons. There's the tariff reason,
• 1:41:36
  Speaker 12: but then the tariff ignited inflation. You need a Ph.D.
• 1:41:40
  Speaker 12: in economics.
• 1:41:41
  Speaker 4: Oh, God. I mean, really. You're watching. I mean, the
• 1:41:44
  Speaker 4: big story today is Kevin Warsh. And for people that
• 1:41:48
  Speaker 4: aren't you or Charlie Gasparino or Monica Crowley, and they go,
• 1:41:51
  Speaker 4: wait a second, President Trump handpicked this guy. And the
• 1:41:55
  Speaker 4: reason why President Trump handpicked this guy for the layman
• 1:42:00
  Speaker 4: is because this guy was going to lower interest rates,
• 1:42:04
  Speaker 4: which is what Trump wants. And what does this guy do?
• 1:42:07
  Speaker 4: Right off the bat, he erases him. He says, look,
• 1:42:10
  Speaker 4: inflation's too high. I'm trying to help Trump. But Trump
• 1:42:14
  Speaker 4: is furious. You know that.
• 1:42:16
  Speaker 12: Trump came out last night and said, I support it.
• 1:42:19
  Speaker 12: It's a quarter point rise there. That's not going to
• 1:42:23
  Speaker 12: be a catastrophe for anybody. I don't know whether that's
• 1:42:28
  Speaker 12: going to hold a line on higher prices, which if
• 1:42:31
  Speaker 12: the Republicans lose in November, a good chance, all right,
• 1:42:36
  Speaker 12: they'll lose because of higher prices. They're not going to
• 1:42:39
  Speaker 12: lose because of AI. They're not going to lose because
• 1:42:44
  Speaker 12: President Trump wanted to change the name of a lake
• 1:42:49
  Speaker 12: Confusing the Indians going, what are we on now? What
• 1:42:53
  Speaker 12: lake is this? Right. There are seven great lakes. The
• 1:42:59
  Speaker 12: Native Americans up there, they don't even know what lake
• 1:43:03
  Speaker 12: they're on.
• 1:43:05
  Speaker 7: Why?
• 1:43:06
  Speaker 12: Where are we going?
• 1:43:07
  Speaker 4: But that doesn't hurt or help Trump. You're right. It
• 1:43:09
  Speaker 4: all comes down to prices. But you said earlier, he's
• 1:43:13
  Speaker 4: got to wipe out the mullets. Where are we in
• 1:43:16
  Speaker 4: that process?
• 1:43:18
  Speaker 12: I don't know. I don't get the daily briefings. He
• 1:43:20
  Speaker 12: is confident, or at least presents himself that way, that
• 1:43:25
  Speaker 12: that whole country is going to collapse because they don't
• 1:43:28
  Speaker 12: have anything to eat. And that might be true. Yeah.
• 1:43:32
  Speaker 12: I mean, you know, people are glooming and dooming it.
• 1:43:35
  Speaker 12: All right. I got it. I said at the very beginning,
• 1:43:39
  Speaker 12: as you know, on this program, biggest gamble of Donald
• 1:43:42
  Speaker 12: Trump's life was taking these people on because they don't
• 1:43:45
  Speaker 12: care about life or death. They don't care. is it's
• 1:43:49
  Speaker 12: a suicide pact with them. If they have to kill
• 1:43:54
  Speaker 12: their own people, they're going to kill their own people.
• 1:43:57
  Speaker 12: Hard to beat that kind of an enemy. But the
• 1:44:03
  Speaker 12: strategy is, coming out of the Pentagon, they don't have
• 1:44:07
  Speaker 12: any economy. There's no country anymore. They don't have any gasoline.
• 1:44:13
  Speaker 12: They can't get food in because of the blockade. And
• 1:44:16
  Speaker 12: they're hoping... And it is a hope that the people
• 1:44:21
  Speaker 12: over there are going off. And, but nobody knows. No,
• 1:44:25
  Speaker 12: I mean, but that's what they're banking on.
• 1:44:26
  Speaker 4: I know, but we've had this conversation too. And if
• 1:44:29
  Speaker 4: they say enough, they don't have the power. They don't
• 1:44:32
  Speaker 4: have the weapons to do much about it. So I
• 1:44:35
  Speaker 4: don't know if they say enough.
• 1:44:36
  Speaker 12: What is it harder? Um, and that's, that's, uh, one
• 1:44:40
  Speaker 12: of the themes of, uh, confronting America, uh, what needs
• 1:44:44
  Speaker 12: to change. Um, and, The United States could have gone
• 1:44:48
  Speaker 12: in harder and just wiped out their infrastructure in two days.
• 1:44:54
  Speaker 4: That's what I wanted.
• 1:44:54
  Speaker 12: With Israel.
• 1:44:55
  Speaker 4: That's what I wanted.
• 1:44:56
  Speaker 14: Yeah.
• 1:44:56
  Speaker 12: Yeah. And me too. And I'm not a hawk. I mean,
• 1:45:00
  Speaker 12: I'm not a guy that, you know, is banging a
• 1:45:03
  Speaker 12: drum like John Bolton, let's wipe out everybody. I don't
• 1:45:06
  Speaker 12: like that.
• 1:45:07
  Speaker 7: Right.
• 1:45:08
  Speaker 12: Okay. But I'm looking at the canvas over there and
• 1:45:11
  Speaker 12: the only solution to this problem is and that, of course,
• 1:45:16
  Speaker 12: is what the book's all about, is to kill these people.
• 1:45:20
  Speaker 12: Because the only solution to ending World War II was
• 1:45:24
  Speaker 12: to absolutely destroy Germany and Japan. That's it. Which we did.
• 1:45:30
  Speaker 4: That's right. And the war was over. And look at
• 1:45:33
  Speaker 4: us years later. We're still buying TV from Japan.
• 1:45:36
  Speaker 12: Hitler wanted a partial peace treaty. Japanese were, you know,
• 1:45:40
  Speaker 12: worshipping the emperor. They were otherwise occupied. Until, you know,
• 1:45:44
  Speaker 12: the bomb fell on the regime and that got their attention.
• 1:45:47
  Speaker 14: Oh, yeah.
• 1:45:49
  Speaker 12: Yeah, so the solution, it seems on paper, to the
• 1:45:54
  Speaker 12: Mueller-Iran problem is just to obliterate that country's ability to function.
• 1:46:02
  Speaker 12: And I talked to President Trump about this. He didn't
• 1:46:04
  Speaker 12: want to kill civilians, and that's a noble gesture.
• 1:46:06
  Speaker 14: 100%.
• 1:46:07
  Speaker 12: Things he can do without that.
• 1:46:09
  Speaker 4: Hope so.
• 1:46:10
  Speaker 12: And I hope he can. Me too.
• 1:46:11
  Speaker 4: You know, in the final couple of minutes, I'd be
• 1:46:13
  Speaker 4: remiss if I didn't ask you because you're the smartest
• 1:46:15
  Speaker 4: person I know. You're right up there. And I respect
• 1:46:18
  Speaker 4: you more than anybody. So I have this meeting with J.D.
• 1:46:21
  Speaker 4: Vance coming up today. And J.D. 's not my guy.
• 1:46:25
  Speaker 4: He hasn't been. Okay, I'm friendly with Marco Rubio. I've
• 1:46:28
  Speaker 4: been for 16 years, and I love him. And if
• 1:46:30
  Speaker 4: he said to me today, I can pick the next
• 1:46:34
  Speaker 4: president once Trump leaves, I'd pick Marco. But, but, I
• 1:46:38
  Speaker 4: also admitted today that I didn't vote for Trump in 2016.
• 1:46:42
  Speaker 4: I voted for Hillary, and now I've grown to love
• 1:46:44
  Speaker 4: President Trump. So I'm not narrow-minded. I don't shut the door.
• 1:46:49
  Speaker 4: I'm looking forward to speaking with J.D. today, meeting with J.D. today.
• 1:46:54
  Speaker 4: How does Bill O'Reilly feel about J.D.
• 1:46:56
  Speaker 16: Vance?
• 1:46:57
  Speaker 12: You know, I only interviewed him once. His operation stays
• 1:47:02
  Speaker 12: away from my operation. And that's never a good thing.
• 1:47:06
  Speaker 12: Why is that?
• 1:47:07
  Speaker 4: When somebody runs... Why is that? What do you think
• 1:47:09
  Speaker 4: that is?
• 1:47:10
  Speaker 12: I don't know.
• 1:47:11
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 1:47:12
  Speaker 12: You know, and we've had discussions with them, but he
• 1:47:16
  Speaker 12: doesn't want any part of me. And that's not unusual, Sid.
• 1:47:21
  Speaker 12: I mean, I go out my front door here on
• 1:47:23
  Speaker 12: Long Island. I mean, parents snatch up their children when
• 1:47:28
  Speaker 12: I'm in public, right? So I don't blame the vice
• 1:47:31
  Speaker 12: president for not... Do I have to, O'Reilly?
• 1:47:34
  Speaker 4: Come on.
• 1:47:35
  Speaker 12: No. But if it's me, I'm down there. If he
• 1:47:41
  Speaker 12: ever comes on the No Spin News, what separates you
• 1:47:47
  Speaker 12: from your competition? That's my first question. So the thing
• 1:47:51
  Speaker 12: I respect about Vance is that he is a dissenter.
• 1:47:55
  Speaker 12: He didn't want to do the Iran thing, but he
• 1:48:01
  Speaker 12: didn't hotshot it. Okay, so once President Trump decided to
• 1:48:07
  Speaker 12: do it, he got in line. That, for a vice president,
• 1:48:11
  Speaker 12: is very important. You can't have a divided government. And
• 1:48:15
  Speaker 12: Van seems to be smart enough to understand, even though
• 1:48:17
  Speaker 12: I wouldn't have done this policy, I'm going to support
• 1:48:19
  Speaker 12: the president. because that's my job. All right, so that's
• 1:48:23
  Speaker 12: in his corner. But if you're going to compare Vance
• 1:48:27
  Speaker 12: to Rubio, all right, there's pros and cons on both sides.
• 1:48:32
  Speaker 12: And you want to get Vance's vision, his vision, So
• 1:48:38
  Speaker 12: take the book, because you'll be able to pull out
• 1:48:42
  Speaker 12: of Confronting America ten problems that the United States simply
• 1:48:48
  Speaker 12: hasn't been able to solve. And then you don't have
• 1:48:52
  Speaker 12: to tell them you're reading the book, but it wouldn't hurt.
• 1:48:55
  Speaker 12: Have them autograph it to me, Bill, my dear friend,
• 1:48:58
  Speaker 12: because you always use my dear friend as more dear friend's.
• 1:49:03
  Speaker 12: than Bishop Sheen has.
• 1:49:05
  Speaker 4: That's true. But what's great about me is my dear
• 1:49:07
  Speaker 4: friends hate me. Which is good.
• 1:49:13
  Speaker 12: Yeah, well, I'm glad I don't have to see the
• 1:49:15
  Speaker 12: subcategory to dear friends then. That's the gunfight at OK Corral. So,
• 1:49:24
  Speaker 12: but that's where I'd like to know, and he'll have
• 1:49:27
  Speaker 12: to do that if he's going to run for president.
• 1:49:30
  Speaker 14: 100%.
• 1:49:30
  Speaker 4: 100%.
• 1:49:30
  Speaker 12: He's going to have to say, look, President Trump did this.
• 1:49:34
  Speaker 12: I respect President Trump. You know, I thought he was
• 1:49:37
  Speaker 12: a great president, but I would have done it this way.
• 1:49:39
  Speaker 12: That's tough.
• 1:49:41
  Speaker 4: But he's got to do it. But he's got to
• 1:49:42
  Speaker 4: do it. You're right. You're right.
• 1:49:44
  Speaker 12: Well, you have to if he wants to get the nomination,
• 1:49:46
  Speaker 12: because Rubio is much more... Let me say, Rubio, the
• 1:49:57
  Speaker 12: way he goes about it is much more low-key. So
• 1:50:02
  Speaker 12: when Vance says this week, hey, give us another chance,
• 1:50:07
  Speaker 12: I don't like that slogan.
• 1:50:09
  Speaker 19: Right.
• 1:50:10
  Speaker 12: Right. I mean, that's like the Mets, give us another chance. No,
• 1:50:13
  Speaker 12: you're terrible. Right.
• 1:50:14
  Speaker 4: Wait until next year.
• 1:50:15
  Speaker 11: What?
• 1:50:17
  Speaker 12: No, no, wait for five years.
• 1:50:19
  Speaker 4: Yeah, right, exactly.
• 1:50:21
  Speaker 12: I don't like politicians going, oh, I need another chair.
• 1:50:24
  Speaker 4: No, no, no, no good.
• 1:50:25
  Speaker 12: No good. I agree. But I don't even know if
• 1:50:28
  Speaker 12: Van said it. That's how untrustworthy the media is. He
• 1:50:34
  Speaker 12: could have said something totally different or in context. But
• 1:50:38
  Speaker 12: that's the kind of thing, you've got to do it gently, though.
• 1:50:40
  Speaker 12: You want to have access to them. Of course. Because
• 1:50:43
  Speaker 12: I don't. And it tees me off.
• 1:50:46
  Speaker 19: Really?
• 1:50:46
  Speaker 4: Well, guess what? I'm holding in my hand right now.
• 1:50:49
  Speaker 4: Justin just put it into the studio. I'm not even kidding.
• 1:50:52
  Speaker 4: Author of 20 number one bestsellers, Bill O'Reilly and Josh Hammer,
• 1:50:57
  Speaker 4: Confronting America, What Has to Change. And this is coming
• 1:51:00
  Speaker 4: with me. I'm going to hand it as a gift
• 1:51:03
  Speaker 4: to J.D. Vance, and it will be the beginning of
• 1:51:06
  Speaker 4: a beautiful marriage between Vance and O'Reilly.
• 1:51:10
  Speaker 12: Well, I don't want to marry the guy because that
• 1:51:13
  Speaker 12: would confuse Tallarico. I don't want to, you know, get
• 1:51:19
  Speaker 12: involved with any kind of nuptials. But I would like,
• 1:51:24
  Speaker 12: you know, with every politician, including Tallarico and El Zayed
• 1:51:30
  Speaker 12: and all of these people, access to that.
• 1:51:33
  Speaker 4: 100%.
• 1:51:34
  Speaker 12: The problem with me, and there are many, okay, is
• 1:51:38
  Speaker 12: that when I sit next to you, you know there's
• 1:51:43
  Speaker 12: no cupcakes.
• 1:51:43
  Speaker 14: In the room.
• 1:51:45
  Speaker 4: There's no cupcakes. Wow. That could be the next.
• 1:51:48
  Speaker 12: And that's what made my career.
• 1:51:50
  Speaker 4: That could be the name of your next book.
• 1:51:53
  Speaker 12: There's no cupcakes in the room.
• 1:51:55
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I like that. I think I love that. I
• 1:51:57
  Speaker 4: really do. I love that.
• 1:51:58
  Speaker 12: I want you to open the book when you get
• 1:52:01
  Speaker 12: on Amtrak, which is much better, by the way, now
• 1:52:04
  Speaker 12: that I have the new three-hour one, and go to
• 1:52:08
  Speaker 12: the chapter of me... President Obama and Paul McCartney.
• 1:52:15
  Speaker 4: Oh, yes.
• 1:52:16
  Speaker 12: Yes. Yes. I want you to open the book and
• 1:52:20
  Speaker 12: go to that chapter. And that tells you everything you
• 1:52:24
  Speaker 12: need to know about how dysfunctional our government, both parties, is.
• 1:52:33
  Speaker 12: And people are like, they're reading this, this can't possibly happen.
• 1:52:37
  Speaker 12: I was there, okay? I've negotiated that myself. And it's
• 1:52:45
  Speaker 12: just an amazing occurrence. And then the second chapter you
• 1:52:49
  Speaker 12: go to is Dan Rather. Oh, my God. Because I
• 1:52:55
  Speaker 12: work for CBS News. And I had an interaction, you know,
• 1:53:00
  Speaker 12: more than one with Mr. Rather. People have no idea.
• 1:53:04
  Speaker 12: Why problems don't get solved and why things happen. And
• 1:53:09
  Speaker 12: this is why I wrote the book. It's eyewitness history.
• 1:53:13
  Speaker 12: I was at the game. And I had good seats
• 1:53:16
  Speaker 12: at the game.
• 1:53:16
  Speaker 4: Love it.
• 1:53:17
  Speaker 12: Okay.
• 1:53:18
  Speaker 4: Love it.
• 1:53:18
  Speaker 12: And I saw the game. Yep. And I'm reporting back
• 1:53:22
  Speaker 12: to you. And that's the worthiness of the whole exercise.
• 1:53:27
  Speaker 12: But you tell the vice president, for me, the first
• 1:53:32
  Speaker 12: time we interviewed him, it was a good interview. I'll
• 1:53:35
  Speaker 12: give him an hour. I'll give him a blank an hour.
• 1:53:39
  Speaker 12: It'll go all over the world.
• 1:53:41
  Speaker 14: And....
• 1:53:43
  Speaker 12: You know, while you're setting up your tent on the
• 1:53:45
  Speaker 12: White House grounds, I can do it then.
• 1:53:48
  Speaker 4: OK, well, I promise you I'll deliver that message today.
• 1:53:51
  Speaker 4: I promise you. And my guess is, is that he will.
• 1:53:55
  Speaker 4: He will do it. He will comply.
• 1:53:57
  Speaker 12: If he doesn't do it, then you're going to have
• 1:53:59
  Speaker 12: to yell at him. Yeah, no.
• 1:54:00
  Speaker 4: What do you mean? I'll rough him up physically. I'm
• 1:54:03
  Speaker 4: not worried about Secret Service. Are you kidding me? I'll
• 1:54:07
  Speaker 4: fly across the desk. I don't care. Bill, you're amazing
• 1:54:10
  Speaker 4: as always. The book is great. Everybody go buy it.
• 1:54:12
  Speaker 4: I mean, you already do. Your books, every one of them,
• 1:54:15
  Speaker 4: is a New York Times bestseller because they're all great.
• 1:54:18
  Speaker 4: It is Confronting America Now. What has to change? It
• 1:54:21
  Speaker 4: came out Tuesday from my buddy, the all-time greatest, Bill O'Reilly.
• 1:54:26
  Speaker 4: As always, Bill, amazing job. Thank you.
• 1:54:29
  Speaker 12: Thank you, Sid. I appreciate it.
• 1:54:31
  Speaker 4: God bless you. Bill O'Reilly right there, the best ever.
• 1:54:34
  Speaker 4: I love that guy. Go buy his book, Confronting America.
• 1:54:37
  Speaker 4: What has to change? I'll be back right after these words.
• 1:54:41
  Speaker 1: Sid and Friends.
• 1:54:43
  Speaker 2: In the Morning on the Red Apple Podcast Network.
• 1:54:47
  Speaker 4: My next guest is my former midday partner at WFAN.
• 1:54:50
  Speaker 4: He's still a legend on the fan on every Saturday,
• 1:54:53
  Speaker 4: but now he contributes once a week to our show,
• 1:54:57
  Speaker 4: one of the all-time greats, my dear friend Joe Beningo. Joe,
• 1:55:01
  Speaker 4: good morning, buddy.
• 1:55:01
  Speaker 12: How are you?
• 1:55:02
  Speaker 11: Sidney Arthur, first of all, I want to congratulate you
• 1:55:05
  Speaker 11: on your big meeting with J.D. I know you're going
• 1:55:07
  Speaker 11: to see Don. You're going to see J.D. You're going
• 1:55:10
  Speaker 11: to straighten him out about whatever issues he has with Israel.
• 1:55:13
  Speaker 11: Go get him, bro.
• 1:55:15
  Speaker 4: I'm going to try, at least. I have no idea
• 1:55:16
  Speaker 4: if I'll be successful. I love all the people tweeting
• 1:55:18
  Speaker 4: this morning.
• 1:55:19
  Speaker 12: I'm confident.
• 1:55:19
  Speaker 11: You've got great confidence in you, bro.
• 1:55:21
  Speaker 13: I know.
• 1:55:21
  Speaker 4: Thank you. All the people tweeting this morning, J.D. Bantz's
• 1:55:24
  Speaker 4: issue is not Sid Rosenberg or the Jews. They make
• 1:55:27
  Speaker 4: up a small percentage. He's got bigger fish to fry.
• 1:55:30
  Speaker 4: So you know that the folks who don't care about
• 1:55:33
  Speaker 4: the Jews or Israel are out there saying, why is
• 1:55:35
  Speaker 4: Bantz talking to Rosenberg?
• 1:55:37
  Speaker 14: Why?
• 1:55:37
  Speaker 4: What's the big deal? He doesn't get the Jewish vote.
• 1:55:39
  Speaker 4: He can still win. Okay. It's not just the Jewish vote.
• 1:55:42
  Speaker 4: What about some of the things that he said about
• 1:55:44
  Speaker 4: President Trump? I don't know. Calling President Trump... The Antichrist.
• 1:55:48
  Speaker 4: That may be an issue with J.D.
• 1:55:49
  Speaker 12: Vance, no? Yeah.
• 1:55:51
  Speaker 11: Well, I mean, when did he call him the Antichrist?
• 1:55:53
  Speaker 11: Did I miss something here? When was that? In the
• 1:55:55
  Speaker 11: early days? No, no, no.
• 1:55:56
  Speaker 4: That was Tucker Carlson who did that. I'm sorry, not J.D.
• 1:56:00
  Speaker 19: No, no, no.
• 1:56:00
  Speaker 4: By the way, J.D. called him a Nazi. J.D. called
• 1:56:03
  Speaker 4: President Trump a Nazi years ago.
• 1:56:06
  Speaker 11: Well, I know he wasn't. I know he was not
• 1:56:08
  Speaker 11: for Don and, you know, way back when. Tucker Carlson's
• 1:56:11
  Speaker 11: lost his cookies, bro. I mean, let's be honest. You know,
• 1:56:14
  Speaker 11: him and we talked about this yesterday. Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens,
• 1:56:20
  Speaker 11: Marjorie Taylor Greene. These people have all like they've lost
• 1:56:23
  Speaker 11: their minds, these people. Well, I mean, you got to
• 1:56:25
  Speaker 11: be kidding me.
• 1:56:26
  Speaker 14: Right?
• 1:56:27
  Speaker 4: They're traitors.
• 1:56:27
  Speaker 11: You got Tucker Carlson back in El-Sayed now?
• 1:56:30
  Speaker 14: Yeah.
• 1:56:30
  Speaker 4: What the hell is that?
• 1:56:31
  Speaker 12: Yeah.
• 1:56:31
  Speaker 4: Yeah, he is.
• 1:56:32
  Speaker 12: I mean, what?
• 1:56:33
  Speaker 14: I know.
• 1:56:34
  Speaker 11: I know.
• 1:56:35
  Speaker 4: And he said that El-Sayed is right about 9-11. Look,
• 1:56:38
  Speaker 4: there's no other way to put it. They're traitors. Trump's
• 1:56:42
  Speaker 4: a liar. He's not America first. He's Israel first, like Rosenberg.
• 1:56:46
  Speaker 4: Let me just say this again for you folks. As
• 1:56:49
  Speaker 4: soon as you say Israel first, like Alex Jones loves
• 1:56:52
  Speaker 4: to do, You're an anti-Semite. That's it. That's it. There's
• 1:56:56
  Speaker 4: another way to say it.
• 1:56:57
  Speaker 11: You are a great... I know you for many years now.
• 1:57:00
  Speaker 11: We've been through... You and I went through... We did
• 1:57:01
  Speaker 11: a lot of different crap together. We had some interesting moments.
• 1:57:05
  Speaker 11: We can't get into. But you know what? You are
• 1:57:08
  Speaker 11: a freaking patriot, bro.
• 1:57:10
  Speaker 4: Thank you.
• 1:57:10
  Speaker 11: You love this country more than anything. Yeah, you know...
• 1:57:14
  Speaker 11: You're a serious Jew, and I have great respect for
• 1:57:18
  Speaker 11: all that. By the way, Happy New Year, and have
• 1:57:20
  Speaker 11: a good fast if I don't talk to you next week.
• 1:57:22
  Speaker 4: Thank you.
• 1:57:23
  Speaker 11: Very nice. But anyway, you are a great patriot, and
• 1:57:28
  Speaker 11: that's the bottom line, bro. You're America first all the way.
• 1:57:31
  Speaker 12: All the way.
• 1:57:32
  Speaker 4: Thank you for saying that.
• 1:57:32
  Speaker 8: You know what?
• 1:57:33
  Speaker 11: If you're America first, and I really believe this, too,
• 1:57:36
  Speaker 11: If you're America first, you're going to be pro-Israel. I mean,
• 1:57:40
  Speaker 11: they're our number one ally in the world. I mean,
• 1:57:42
  Speaker 11: to me, it's not– don't give me England. Don't give
• 1:57:44
  Speaker 11: me France. Certainly don't give me Canada or any of
• 1:57:47
  Speaker 11: these other freaking whacked-out places. It's Israel, and that's number one.
• 1:57:52
  Speaker 4: God, I love you. And you're a great patriot, too,
• 1:57:54
  Speaker 4: for a guy that, you know, look, for so many years,
• 1:57:57
  Speaker 4: and still, you know, everybody wants to hear Joe Benigno
• 1:57:59
  Speaker 4: on a Monday morning after a jet game. Everybody. Or,
• 1:58:02
  Speaker 4: you know, when Pete Alonzo comes to Citi Field.
• 1:58:04
  Speaker 11: Oh, my God, bro, please. And I got to, let
• 1:58:07
  Speaker 11: me just say this. I'm glad you brought that up.
• 1:58:09
  Speaker 11: Congratulations to all the great Mets fans out there, okay,
• 1:58:13
  Speaker 11: who let David Stearns and the owner hear it the
• 1:58:17
  Speaker 11: last couple nights, hear it about the massive mistake. You know,
• 1:58:22
  Speaker 11: the only big, and the Mets have made many, I
• 1:58:24
  Speaker 11: don't have to go through the litany of great Mets
• 1:58:26
  Speaker 11: that they have either traded away or allowed to walk away.
• 1:58:30
  Speaker 11: but Pete Alonzo, only Tom Siva was worse than letting
• 1:58:35
  Speaker 11: Pete Alonzo walk. That's the only thing that has been,
• 1:58:38
  Speaker 11: the Siva trade is the only worst thing that the
• 1:58:41
  Speaker 11: Mets franchise has ever done in letting one of their
• 1:58:44
  Speaker 11: iconic future Hall of Famer walk away. 36 homers, 102 RBIs.
• 1:58:51
  Speaker 11: His OPS is about 860. He plays every effing day.
• 1:58:56
  Speaker 11: He hit that home run off Senga last night. He
• 1:58:58
  Speaker 11: knew he was going to hit number 300 at Citi Field.
• 1:59:03
  Speaker 11: God bless Pete Alonso. What an effing mistake.
• 1:59:07
  Speaker 4: Fire Stern. Fire Stern. Now, look, you mentioned Seaver. And
• 1:59:12
  Speaker 4: don't forget, before you were my great midday partner, I
• 1:59:14
  Speaker 4: worked with Jody McDonald. His father, Joe, he's the guy
• 1:59:17
  Speaker 4: that traded Seaver. And, you know, we know about that
• 1:59:20
  Speaker 4: terrible trade, Doug Flynn, Steve Henderson, Pat Zachary, and Dan Norman.
• 1:59:24
  Speaker 4: But I got one more for you that may be
• 1:59:26
  Speaker 4: even worse than Alonzo.
• 1:59:28
  Speaker 12: Go.
• 1:59:28
  Speaker 4: Nolan Ryan for Jim Figozzi?
• 1:59:30
  Speaker 11: The only reason you can't make that worse is because
• 1:59:33
  Speaker 11: at the time they traded Nolan Ryan, nobody knew that
• 1:59:37
  Speaker 11: Nolan Ryan was going to turn into this all-time great pitcher.
• 1:59:40
  Speaker 11: You know what I mean? You didn't know it. He'd
• 1:59:42
  Speaker 11: been there a few years. He was great in the
• 1:59:45
  Speaker 11: World Series in 69.
• 1:59:46
  Speaker 4: He wasn't even starting. They were starting Gary Gentry. Let's
• 1:59:49
  Speaker 4: be honest.
• 1:59:50
  Speaker 11: What's that?
• 1:59:51
  Speaker 4: They were starting Gary Gentry.
• 1:59:53
  Speaker 11: Yeah, Gary Gentry was part of the rotation in 69.
• 1:59:56
  Speaker 11: But Ryan came out of the pen, man. You look
• 1:59:58
  Speaker 11: at it. In the World Series, he pitched that great
• 2:00:00
  Speaker 11: game in Game 3. I mean, you know, he was
• 2:00:02
  Speaker 11: unbelievable against the Braves in the playoffs. He pitched like
• 2:00:05
  Speaker 11: seven innings in the clincher out of the pen. But
• 2:00:08
  Speaker 11: they never knew he was going to turn out to
• 2:00:10
  Speaker 11: be that. So if you want to say Nolan Ryan...
• 2:00:13
  Speaker 11: To me, it's Seaver number one, it's Alonzo number two,
• 2:00:17
  Speaker 11: and it's the dismantling of the 86 championship team by
• 2:00:20
  Speaker 11: Frank Cashin, number three.
• 2:00:23
  Speaker 4: What about the fact that every July 1st, even now,
• 2:00:27
  Speaker 4: Bobby Bonilla gets a million dollars?
• 2:00:30
  Speaker 11: Bobby Bonilla. Say whatever you want about Bobby Bonilla. Is
• 2:00:34
  Speaker 11: there ever been a smarter guy than this guy?
• 2:00:37
  Speaker 4: I mean, he's got a million.
• 2:00:38
  Speaker 11: Dollars every year.
• 2:00:39
  Speaker 12: I know.
• 2:00:40
  Speaker 11: Remember when he first came up and he said, you're
• 2:00:42
  Speaker 11: never going to wipe my smile. I'll show you the Bronx.
• 2:00:45
  Speaker 14: Yeah.
• 2:00:46
  Speaker 11: You're never going to wipe the smile off my face.
• 2:00:49
  Speaker 12: Remember that? I do.
• 2:00:50
  Speaker 19: I do.
• 2:00:50
  Speaker 4: He's getting paid, folks, just so you know, until 2035.
• 2:00:54
  Speaker 4: One quick one.
• 2:00:55
  Speaker 12: I know.
• 2:00:55
  Speaker 4: We've got to go to football, but the Yankees won
• 2:00:58
  Speaker 4: again last night. Weed looks good. They're scoring runs. Aaron
• 2:01:01
  Speaker 4: Judge is back. I'm not sure they catch Tampa. I
• 2:01:04
  Speaker 4: think they've got four head to head. Doesn't matter, right?
• 2:01:07
  Speaker 4: That's the best team in the American League, right?
• 2:01:09
  Speaker 11: No question. You know, I tell this story, and I'm
• 2:01:12
  Speaker 11: not a Yankee fan. I know you're a Yankee fan now.
• 2:01:14
  Speaker 11: I tell this to all my friends who are Yankee fans.
• 2:01:16
  Speaker 11: Just think about the Knicks, okay? The Knicks finished with
• 2:01:20
  Speaker 11: 53 wins. They were the third seed in the Eastern Conference.
• 2:01:23
  Speaker 11: It doesn't matter. You know, the regular season, it is
• 2:01:27
  Speaker 11: what it is. You've got to play 162 games, all
• 2:01:30
  Speaker 11: of that. It doesn't matter if they catch Tampa or not.
• 2:01:33
  Speaker 11: They're going to have home field. in the wild card round,
• 2:01:36
  Speaker 11: and they're going to win. You know, I love their rotation.
• 2:01:39
  Speaker 11: I'm a little worried about Garrett Cole. I mean, the
• 2:01:41
  Speaker 11: Mets had batting practice against them.
• 2:01:43
  Speaker 4: What about the Mets? They had the game before the Mets.
• 2:01:45
  Speaker 4: He started the Padre game giving up three home runs.
• 2:01:47
  Speaker 11: Right, right, right. He could give up four to the
• 2:01:49
  Speaker 11: Mets before he went out of the game. Mets hit
• 2:01:51
  Speaker 11: six in that game. But, you know, I'm a little
• 2:01:53
  Speaker 11: worried about Cole, but Schlittler is the best pitcher in
• 2:01:55
  Speaker 11: the American League in my mind. You know, you got
• 2:01:58
  Speaker 11: Max Freed. You got a pretty decent bullpen. Bednar has
• 2:02:01
  Speaker 11: really been good out of the pen. A couple other
• 2:02:03
  Speaker 11: of these guys, Weathers, Warren, whoever you want to throw
• 2:02:06
  Speaker 11: out there. I like the Yankees to win the pennant.
• 2:02:09
  Speaker 12: I really do.
• 2:02:09
  Speaker 11: And I don't think the Dodgers are coming back. They're
• 2:02:12
  Speaker 11: not getting to the World Series again. Ohtani's been hurt. And,
• 2:02:15
  Speaker 11: you know, am I supposed to be afraid if you're
• 2:02:18
  Speaker 11: a Yankee fan of the Milwaukee Brewers or even the
• 2:02:21
  Speaker 11: Braves or the Phillies? No. I think the Yankees win
• 2:02:24
  Speaker 11: it this year.
• 2:02:24
  Speaker 12: I do.
• 2:02:25
  Speaker 7: Wow.
• 2:02:26
  Speaker 4: Well, let's hope so. Randy Levine, I'm going to send
• 2:02:28
  Speaker 4: you this later on today. Joe Beningo has the Yankees
• 2:02:31
  Speaker 4: winning the World Series.
• 2:02:33
  Speaker 11: I'm a Met fan. Randy knows what kind of Met
• 2:02:35
  Speaker 11: fan I am.
• 2:02:36
  Speaker 4: He knows. He knows. All right, quickly, we've got a
• 2:02:38
  Speaker 4: couple of minutes. I want to get to football.
• 2:02:40
  Speaker 12: Yes.
• 2:02:41
  Speaker 4: The Jets have not looked better in week one in years.
• 2:02:44
  Speaker 4: Is this team primed to win the Super Bowl?
• 2:02:47
  Speaker 12: No.
• 2:02:48
  Speaker 11: But I'll tell you what, though. They're going to be
• 2:02:49
  Speaker 11: a competitive football team all year, Sid. I think, seriously,
• 2:02:53
  Speaker 11: they can win between seven and ten games. This is
• 2:02:56
  Speaker 11: a much better team. They're nowhere near resembles what they
• 2:03:01
  Speaker 11: were last year. You've got a completely different defensive football team.
• 2:03:05
  Speaker 11: The strength of this team is the offensive line. They've
• 2:03:08
  Speaker 11: got a really good offensive line. I mean, I know
• 2:03:11
  Speaker 11: Tennessee stinks. Look, I don't want to sugarcoat that. Tennessee stinks, okay?
• 2:03:14
  Speaker 11: I feel bad in a lot of ways for Robert
• 2:03:16
  Speaker 11: Sala because he's stuck with a completely garbage team. Cam
• 2:03:19
  Speaker 11: Ward is not any good. Whatever. But the offensive line, man,
• 2:03:24
  Speaker 11: these guys, I mean, they ran the ball beautifully with
• 2:03:26
  Speaker 11: Brees Hall and Braylon Allen. You know, they kept Geno.
• 2:03:30
  Speaker 11: They didn't even touch Geno in this game. And if
• 2:03:32
  Speaker 11: you give Geno time to throw, he's going to, you know,
• 2:03:36
  Speaker 11: go 19 for 24 for 200 and whatever yards.
• 2:03:38
  Speaker 4: He can throw.
• 2:03:39
  Speaker 11: And tear you up. You know, Wilson had a big game.
• 2:03:42
  Speaker 11: The kid Mitchell had a big game. I'm very happy
• 2:03:45
  Speaker 11: with the team, bro. I think this team is really
• 2:03:48
  Speaker 11: going to surprise some people this year. I think they'll
• 2:03:51
  Speaker 11: at least be in the mix, you know, for most
• 2:03:54
  Speaker 11: of the season to make the playoffs. I don't think
• 2:03:55
  Speaker 11: they will, but I think at least they'll give us
• 2:03:58
  Speaker 11: a competitive season this year. And they're set up, bro.
• 2:04:02
  Speaker 11: They got three number one draft choices again next year.
• 2:04:04
  Speaker 11: This guy, Aaron Muji, has done a terrific job setting
• 2:04:08
  Speaker 11: them up. That trade, their source guard in the trade,
• 2:04:10
  Speaker 11: looks like the biggest fleecing of all time. Just think
• 2:04:13
  Speaker 11: about it. They got the Colts' number one pick next year.
• 2:04:16
  Speaker 11: The Colts look like they're going to stink.
• 2:04:18
  Speaker 12: Stink.
• 2:04:18
  Speaker 11: They may wind up with the first and second pick
• 2:04:20
  Speaker 11: in the draft.
• 2:04:20
  Speaker 4: They may. Yeah, Daniel Jones looked terrible. And, you know, look,
• 2:04:25
  Speaker 4: I know Green Bay got their clocks cleaned in Minnesota
• 2:04:27
  Speaker 4: last week. They all played it for three quarters. I
• 2:04:29
  Speaker 4: watched the whole game. If the Jets beat the Packers
• 2:04:32
  Speaker 4: on Sunday, I'm going to buy in. I'm going to
• 2:04:34
  Speaker 4: buy in.
• 2:04:35
  Speaker 11: Well, I mean, look, buy-in. I think they're going to
• 2:04:39
  Speaker 11: at least, they got the Packers at home. It's going
• 2:04:42
  Speaker 11: to be crazy. There'll be a lot of Packer fans.
• 2:04:44
  Speaker 11: I'll be there, too. But there'll be a lot of
• 2:04:46
  Speaker 11: Packer fans there. But then they got the Lions on
• 2:04:48
  Speaker 11: the road. The Lions were fortunate to win. I mean,
• 2:04:51
  Speaker 11: the Saints went for two.
• 2:04:52
  Speaker 4: And by the way, I think the Lions get their
• 2:04:56
  Speaker 4: clocks cleaned by Buffalo tomorrow night.
• 2:04:58
  Speaker 11: I would agree with you 100%. And then they play
• 2:05:01
  Speaker 11: the Bears, who look like they're pretty good. I mean,
• 2:05:03
  Speaker 11: they put 59 on the board against Carroll.
• 2:05:05
  Speaker 4: I don't care. That offense, I'm telling you, Caleb Williams
• 2:05:09
  Speaker 4: is really good. His two running backs are really good.
• 2:05:12
  Speaker 4: His receivers are really good. They're really good.
• 2:05:15
  Speaker 14: Right.
• 2:05:15
  Speaker 11: But if they're 2-2, Sid, if they're 2-2. after the
• 2:05:18
  Speaker 11: first four games, and then they got the Cleveland Browns,
• 2:05:21
  Speaker 11: they got Arizona coming up, the Dolphins who stink, they
• 2:05:24
  Speaker 11: play the Raiders. You know, if they can be 2-2
• 2:05:27
  Speaker 11: going after the first four games, I think they're really
• 2:05:30
  Speaker 11: set up to have a solid season.
• 2:05:32
  Speaker 4: By the way, Arizona may be better. Jeremiah Love, the
• 2:05:35
  Speaker 4: rookie out.
• 2:05:35
  Speaker 12: Of Notre Dame.
• 2:05:36
  Speaker 11: They beat the Chargers.
• 2:05:37
  Speaker 12: The Chargers are a fraud.
• 2:05:38
  Speaker 4: They're a fraud.
• 2:05:39
  Speaker 11: The Chargers are the biggest. They've been a fraud for
• 2:05:41
  Speaker 11: 20 years, the Chargers.
• 2:05:42
  Speaker 4: They have since Don Correale. And the funny thing is,
• 2:05:45
  Speaker 4: the coach of the Chargers is a hardball. But that's Jim.
• 2:05:49
  Speaker 4: That's Jim. We got his brother, John, here with the Giants.
• 2:05:53
  Speaker 4: And come on, Joe Benigno. How good did the Giants
• 2:05:56
  Speaker 4: look on Sunday night?
• 2:05:57
  Speaker 11: The Giants are going to be– look, I said this, Sid.
• 2:05:59
  Speaker 11: I think the Giants win at least 10 games. I
• 2:06:01
  Speaker 11: think they're going to win. I think they clearly can
• 2:06:03
  Speaker 11: win that division. You know, look, I love the coach,
• 2:06:06
  Speaker 11: and you know I love the quarterback. I mean, you know,
• 2:06:08
  Speaker 11: I wish my team would have drafted him. You know,
• 2:06:10
  Speaker 11: we know he loves Don. That only helps it. He's
• 2:06:13
  Speaker 11: got one of the hottest girlfriends you could have. It's
• 2:06:17
  Speaker 11: good to be Jackson Dart. No, the Giants, I'm telling you,
• 2:06:21
  Speaker 11: and they may have a tough game against the Rams,
• 2:06:23
  Speaker 11: but on the Rams, Miles Garrett is out now. They
• 2:06:26
  Speaker 11: made him go to Australia. What a disaster that turned
• 2:06:28
  Speaker 11: out to be. I think the Giants are primed for
• 2:06:31
  Speaker 11: a big year. You know, this Isaiah likely is the
• 2:06:33
  Speaker 11: real deal at tight end. Their offensive line is much better.
• 2:06:37
  Speaker 11: Scatterboo is healthy. You got Singletary running the ball. Neighbors
• 2:06:41
  Speaker 11: look great.
• 2:06:42
  Speaker 14: Yep.
• 2:06:43
  Speaker 11: Giants are set up, bro.
• 2:06:45
  Speaker 12: They are.
• 2:06:46
  Speaker 4: You mentioned the Rams game. So the Rams go to Australia.
• 2:06:48
  Speaker 4: They're favored to beat the 49ers. Brock Purdy never gets
• 2:06:53
  Speaker 4: the credit he deserves. When he's healthy, he wins. Bottom line,
• 2:06:55
  Speaker 4: he wins.
• 2:06:56
  Speaker 12: He goes nuts.
• 2:06:57
  Speaker 4: He throws three touchdowns. The Rams can't score. You mentioned
• 2:07:00
  Speaker 4: the fact that Miles Garrett's out for an extended period
• 2:07:03
  Speaker 4: of time. Aaron Donald's not ready to play. So I
• 2:07:05
  Speaker 4: think the Rams, Monday night, are very angry when they
• 2:07:09
  Speaker 4: host the Giants. A lot of people thought the Rams
• 2:07:11
  Speaker 4: were going to the Super Bowl. This game, too, could
• 2:07:14
  Speaker 4: be a huge win for the Giants on the road.
• 2:07:17
  Speaker 11: Yeah, look, and it really lightens up. If they get
• 2:07:19
  Speaker 11: that game, now you're looking at the Titans coming into
• 2:07:21
  Speaker 11: the Meadowlands in week three. I mean, you know, Giants
• 2:07:25
  Speaker 11: are set up to– I'm telling you, bro, I'm mad
• 2:07:28
  Speaker 11: at myself that I didn't bet them to win the
• 2:07:30
  Speaker 11: NFC East, and I think they got a great shot
• 2:07:32
  Speaker 11: to do that. Philly was all it could be. They
• 2:07:35
  Speaker 11: were– you know, the Redskins commanders, whatever they are, you know,
• 2:07:39
  Speaker 11: the Commodores, they were only a– Two-point conversion away from
• 2:07:43
  Speaker 11: beating the Eagles in Philadelphia. Watch that game.
• 2:07:46
  Speaker 4: Well, tying them, tying them.
• 2:07:47
  Speaker 12: They lost 24-22. Right, right.
• 2:07:49
  Speaker 11: They lost by two. But, I mean, they were right
• 2:07:50
  Speaker 11: there to win that game. There was a bad penalty.
• 2:07:53
  Speaker 11: And Stephon Diggs, you know, he plays with his head
• 2:07:55
  Speaker 11: up his rear end all the time. That's why he's
• 2:07:57
  Speaker 11: been on 30 different teams. As good as he is,
• 2:07:59
  Speaker 11: he gets a big penalty.
• 2:08:00
  Speaker 12: Touchdown.
• 2:08:00
  Speaker 11: Then he gets a stupid penalty in the end zone.
• 2:08:02
  Speaker 11: And it cost them going for two. They had to
• 2:08:05
  Speaker 11: kick an extra point from 50 yards away.
• 2:08:07
  Speaker 4: That's right.
• 2:08:08
  Speaker 11: That was a big play in that game. So, you know,
• 2:08:12
  Speaker 11: I like the Giants a lot. And I love Dart.
• 2:08:15
  Speaker 11: I can't say. He's got to stay healthy. He plays
• 2:08:17
  Speaker 11: a little reckless. We know that. Scatterboot, too. They've got
• 2:08:20
  Speaker 11: to stay healthy, but I think the Giants are really,
• 2:08:22
  Speaker 11: really set up.
• 2:08:23
  Speaker 4: I love hearing that. What a great segment. I enjoyed
• 2:08:25
  Speaker 4: this immensely, I must tell you. And I will give
• 2:08:29
  Speaker 4: Vice President Vance your best when I see him.
• 2:08:31
  Speaker 11: And Big Don, I know you're going to see the
• 2:08:33
  Speaker 11: big guy, too. Give him a little kiss on the
• 2:08:35
  Speaker 11: cheek for me and tell him, God bless you, bro.
• 2:08:38
  Speaker 11: God bless. Keep doing what you're doing. Keep taking care
• 2:08:41
  Speaker 11: of our country. Tell him that.
• 2:08:43
  Speaker 4: And you, too. You keep doing what you're doing, Joseph,
• 2:08:44
  Speaker 4: because you're still the best. I mean that, the best.
