- 0:00Speaker 1: Sid and Friends in the morning entertaining and informative.
- 0:05Speaker 2: On the Red Apple podcast Network.
- 0:09Speaker 3: We're Don with Stern, Where Don with Colbert? We're on
- 0:11Speaker 3: to Sid Rosenberg. This is what we want, is what
- 0:13Speaker 3: the people want, said, Come on.
- 0:15Speaker 4: The President obviously wants to see the peace process play out,
- 0:19Speaker 4: and the Iranians would be best to sign a good
- 0:22Speaker 4: deal with the United States of America because the President
- 0:24Speaker 4: has proven he's unafraid to use the mighte of our military,
- 0:27Speaker 4: and if Iran chooses to be a bad actor, they'll
- 0:29Speaker 4: prove themselves to be the pariah of the Middle East.
- 0:32Speaker 4: They've totally alienated themselves from their golf and Arab partners
- 0:35Speaker 4: in the region. In the United States of America has
- 0:38Speaker 4: the best and strongest military in the world. The President
- 0:40Speaker 4: retains the right to.
- 0:41Speaker 5: Use it, all right.
- 0:42Speaker 6: Caroline Levit from Washington National Mall, responding to the tit
- 0:46Speaker 6: for tap between the US and Iran, here is what
- 0:48Speaker 6: has happened, essentially over the past four or five days.
- 0:51Speaker 6: It was on Thursday of last week, all right, the
- 0:54Speaker 6: twenty fifth of June, when an Iranian drone hit a
- 0:57Speaker 6: vessel that was trying.
- 0:59Speaker 7: To make its way along what has.
- 1:02Speaker 6: Now become the Omani Pass.
- 1:05Speaker 5: It's a way of.
- 1:06Speaker 6: Saying that this is the international accepted route for vessels
- 1:11Speaker 6: that go through the Strait of Hormuz.
- 1:12Speaker 5: But again, what Iran wants is something very different.
- 1:15Speaker 6: Iran wants all these vessels that come up and come
- 1:18Speaker 6: through their islands so they can choose charge them a
- 1:22Speaker 6: toll at their discretion. So that was last Thursday. Then
- 1:25Speaker 6: you get into what Saturday and Sunday, and the US
- 1:28Speaker 6: took action yet again along these targets on the Strait
- 1:32Speaker 6: of Hormones that they believe are responsible for the drones
- 1:35Speaker 6: that were headed toward those vessels.
- 1:38Speaker 5: They apparently fired.
- 1:39Speaker 6: At least four or three were not from the sky,
- 1:40Speaker 6: but one did make a contact with a vessel. The
- 1:43Speaker 6: Iranians responded in part, they hit assets in Kuwait and Bahrain,
- 1:48Speaker 6: among others. And that is where we are right now,
- 1:51Speaker 6: the presidents saying on thru Social two hours ago, peace
- 1:54Speaker 6: talks are going to resume in Delha tomorrow.
- 1:56Speaker 8: The Mamdani administration is another step closer to shutting down
- 2:00Speaker 8: Rikers Island, but they're admitting the move to community based
- 2:03Speaker 8: jails is still some years off and will require reducing
- 2:06Speaker 8: the number of inmates. Political report of Marsha Kramer got
- 2:09Speaker 8: an inside look at the closed facility and has the story.
- 2:12Speaker 9: Barb wire still stretches all around the North Infirmary Command
- 2:15Speaker 9: on Rikers Island, even though the two hundred and twenty
- 2:18Speaker 9: three detainees have been trenferred off the island and into modern,
- 2:22Speaker 9: updated facilities like this new complex on the second.
- 2:25Speaker 5: Floor at Bellevue.
- 2:26Speaker 9: The decision to close the Nick as it is called,
- 2:29Speaker 9: marked a baby step, but an important one in the
- 2:32Speaker 9: city's long styll plan to close Rikers and open four
- 2:34Speaker 9: community based jails.
- 2:36Speaker 8: We all know that this is a long term plan
- 2:39Speaker 8: and it's not happening tomorrow.
- 2:40Speaker 9: Unfortunately, the original plan called for closing Workers in August
- 2:44Speaker 9: of twenty twenty seven. But there are two problems. The
- 2:47Speaker 9: Borough of Jails won't be ready, and Riker's carn population
- 2:50Speaker 9: of about sixty seven hundred inmates surpasses the forty one
- 2:53Speaker 9: hundred bed capacity of the new facilities.
- 2:56Speaker 10: We're going to build facilities centered on humanity and dignity
- 3:00Speaker 10: of those who come to us. We are going to
- 3:02Speaker 10: operate with dignity and humanity centered in every decision we make,
- 3:07Speaker 10: every strategy we deployed every bit.
- 3:10Speaker 5: Of our work.
- 3:11Speaker 9: Officials turned over the keys to the infirmary building to
- 3:14Speaker 9: the Department of Citywide Administrative Services, whose job will be
- 3:18Speaker 9: to come up with a master plan for how to
- 3:20Speaker 9: use Rockers once it's no longer present complex.
- 3:23Speaker 3: We're already seeing many possibilities that can benefit our city
- 3:26Speaker 3: for years to come, from renewable energy projects to other
- 3:29Speaker 3: public purposes, particularly those with an environmental justice lens.
- 3:32Speaker 9: The move was especially meaningful for doctor Patsy Yang, who
- 3:36Speaker 9: developed the Belleview unit that moved detainees from these facilities
- 3:39Speaker 9: at Rikers.
- 3:40Speaker 2: It's definitely night and day.
- 3:42Speaker 11: This is in nineteen thirty two hospital that was affiliated
- 3:46Speaker 11: with the jail.
- 3:47Speaker 2: Next next Stort which is just Candet.
- 3:50Speaker 11: And it was designed to bold football rather than care product.
- 3:56Speaker 11: Bellevue is designed intentionally by letter and steam and fabric
- 4:02Speaker 11: and layout to be a more therapy they can support
- 4:06Speaker 11: it place.
- 4:06Speaker 8: So Marshall, when do city officials plan to actually close Rikers, Well,
- 4:11Speaker 8: you know, just that's.
- 4:11Speaker 9: Really unclear because estimates about the completion of the new
- 4:15Speaker 9: jails range from twenty twenty nine to twenty thirty two.
- 4:18Speaker 9: And when they agree on a new day, they need
- 4:20Speaker 9: to make sure that they think they can actually meet
- 4:23Speaker 9: the deadline.
- 4:23Speaker 12: Why is that, believe it or not.
- 4:25Speaker 9: There's some pretty tricky language in the law that was
- 4:28Speaker 9: supposed to help close wreckers. It says that if Rikers
- 4:31Speaker 9: isn't closed by whatever date they agree on, no more
- 4:34Speaker 9: inmates can be put on wreckers.
- 4:35Speaker 7: So God only knows where the big.
- 4:37Speaker 8: Well I was going to say, that presents additional problem.
- 4:40Speaker 9: Right, So they have to actually judge when they think
- 4:42Speaker 9: it's actually going to be open. Otherwise you could have
- 4:45Speaker 9: people that wouldn't have a place to be killed.
- 4:48Speaker 13: It's a scary time.
- 4:49Speaker 14: We need leaders to step up.
- 4:52Speaker 13: Depending on what day you catch on me in Nantucket,
- 4:55Speaker 13: when I roll out of bed, I have an isotion
- 4:57Speaker 13: view and it's like, why do I want to ruin
- 4:58Speaker 13: my life and get involved.
- 4:59Speaker 5: In this mess?
- 5:01Speaker 13: Because I know what comes with it. But sometimes I
- 5:03Speaker 13: do feel like it's my duty. I can't I can't
- 5:06Speaker 13: turn away. I feel like I could make a change.
- 5:09Speaker 13: Maybe I do run in politics, So I don't know.
- 5:11Speaker 13: It depends on the day you catch me. But let
- 5:13Speaker 13: me say this, I spend a lot of my day
- 5:16Speaker 13: losing my mind on what's happening right now, especially in
- 5:18Speaker 13: New York. Yeah, I mean you get the Nazi in Maine.
- 5:21Speaker 13: This really, really really worries me. So I'm like, you
- 5:24Speaker 13: run against Mandani. I would love to run against. If
- 5:27Speaker 13: I was going to run, it would be here. Can
- 5:29Speaker 13: I win here?
- 5:30Speaker 5: I have no idea.
- 5:31Speaker 13: I don't know the demographics, whether they get enough votes.
- 5:33Speaker 13: There's a lot of people who like me in New
- 5:36Speaker 13: York City. I know that I've done a lot of
- 5:38Speaker 13: good in New York City when I wasn't thinking about politics,
- 5:41Speaker 13: whether it's the barstool fund, pizza places, so it wasn't
- 5:44Speaker 13: for show. I've had a real job. I've done real things,
- 5:47Speaker 13: unlike these clown politicians who have never had a job
- 5:50Speaker 13: and never been in the real world for a day.
- 5:53Speaker 13: But the people voting for these people who's won are
- 5:57Speaker 13: like these young white like ivy league ish, elitish women.
- 6:04Speaker 7: It's like, who are they like?
- 6:06Speaker 13: They'll never vote for me, They'll never believe in common sense.
- 6:09Speaker 5: Lauri Trump my favorite Trump.
- 6:11Speaker 3: I'm sorry, am I talking to somebody who is now
- 6:13Speaker 3: officially part of the New York Broadcasters Hall of Fame?
- 6:17Speaker 15: Is that?

- 7:52Speaker 7: He was all egesting, where's my dear allow me here today,
- 7:57Speaker 7: Clive Hoy.
- 7:59Speaker 19: With a we were spanning over six decades. Davis, who
- 8:02Speaker 19: was born in Brooklyn, became the man with golden ears,
- 8:06Speaker 19: taking record labels to higher heights, working in all musical genres.
- 8:10Speaker 15: Dressed like king, and he was born to run everything.
- 8:20Speaker 19: Davis's great ast hit wasn't just the music, it was

- 8:47Speaker 7: Davis was a.
- 8:48Speaker 19: Five time Grammy Award winner, known for his extravagant style
- 8:52Speaker 19: and lavish Grammy parties, but to his family he was
- 8:55Speaker 19: dad and granddaddy.
- 8:57Speaker 22: He was a kind of dad who in a and
- 8:59Speaker 22: R your report, He'd breathed it and send it back
- 9:03Speaker 22: with feedbacks and notes.
- 9:06Speaker 5: Thank you, Dad, I love you.
- 9:08Speaker 7: I will miss you, Jelish and Davis.

- 9:14Speaker 19: the Grammy party for next year before he passed away.
- 9:17Speaker 19: They say they will continue on that tradition in his honor.
- 9:21Speaker 5: My mom's ninety one, so she's a baby compared to
- 9:24Speaker 5: Clive Davis. I'm going to see my mom in Upstate
- 9:27Speaker 5: New York in a couple of days. In fact, I'm
- 9:29Speaker 5: thinking about taking Naomi to see the Doobie Brothers and
- 9:33Speaker 5: Santana with me, Danielle and Gabe on Saturday night at
- 9:37Speaker 5: Bethel Woods. We'll see Clive Davis the funeral yesterday at
- 9:42Speaker 5: the Central Synagogue. I guess it turns out that that
- 9:45Speaker 5: was Clive Davis's sule. He was Jewish.
- 9:48Speaker 18: You know.
- 9:49Speaker 5: Barry Manilo is Jewish and he spoke yesterday. And there's
- 9:54Speaker 5: something with that particular song. Lu Lefino, the Great Lula
- 9:57Speaker 5: Fino soon to be a Hall of Famer. I'm getting
- 10:00Speaker 5: in this year in October, but Lou needs to be
- 10:03Speaker 5: next Lou, Joe Bonningo, a host of others, Tim McCarthy
- 10:06Speaker 5: and more. But what is the story about that specific song?
- 10:10Speaker 5: Mandy with Clive Davis and Barry Manilo.
- 10:14Speaker 23: It seems what I was reading that Clive Davis said
- 10:17Speaker 23: it kind of kicked off Arista Records.
- 10:20Speaker 5: Wow, yeah, because Barry kicked off Arista Records. Yeah, so
- 10:25Speaker 5: that's the song. Yeah, I believe the song the Summer.
- 10:28Speaker 5: And I could be wrong here that that song came out.
- 10:31Speaker 5: That album, I should say, is the same album with
- 10:34Speaker 5: looks like we made it. I think so it's the
- 10:38Speaker 5: same album. I think I'm Barry Manilo two. Yeah, I
- 10:41Speaker 5: think it's Mandy looks like we made it. You know,
- 10:44Speaker 5: actually saw Barry Manilo live in concert last week. For
- 10:48Speaker 5: all the times you guys call me gay, and I
- 10:51Speaker 5: wasn't dancing with Curtis Sliwa and Chuck Schumour the Gay
- 10:55Speaker 5: Pride Parade on Sunday. But I do love Barry Manilo
- 10:58Speaker 5: our very own know him lately. That's right, you saw
- 11:00Speaker 5: him lively. I saw him Friday.
- 11:02Speaker 7: You know he's on this farewell tour because said this
- 11:04Speaker 7: is it because he's not retirings.
- 11:07Speaker 5: He's sick as a dog to remove is long.
- 11:10Speaker 7: He sounded great, he was moving great, he looked greatly.
- 11:13Speaker 7: He did this really nice tribute to Clive Davis, and
- 11:17Speaker 7: he said Clive Davis, who was the first guy to
- 11:19Speaker 7: ever put him on TV. And then he played this
- 11:21Speaker 7: video of Clive introducing him back in nineteen seventy whatever. Wow,
- 11:25Speaker 7: And there you see a very young Barry Manilow playing Mandy,
- 11:30Speaker 7: and then Barry walks off stage and then the lights
- 11:32Speaker 7: come back on and he does a duet with his
- 11:35Speaker 7: old self on stage, which was pretty cool.
- 11:39Speaker 5: Yeah. What was his concert at the Rock Predential Rock? Okay? Yeah?
- 11:43Speaker 5: Sold out? How'd you get tickets?
- 11:45Speaker 7: You know, I got my connections. Did you blow down
- 11:47Speaker 7: in sales something like that?
- 11:49Speaker 5: Yeah? Well I don't blame him at least it was quick.
- 11:54Speaker 5: I want how come nobody helping meat tickets?
- 11:56Speaker 7: I asked you last like a week ago, but you
- 11:58Speaker 7: said you were celebrating your wedding anniversary.
- 12:00Speaker 5: Oh that's true. Yes, well I was just back from
- 12:02Speaker 5: Israel and we did celebrate our thirty four year wedding
- 12:05Speaker 5: anniversary last Thursday. And for folks that don't know this,
- 12:10Speaker 5: my wedding anniversary June the twenty fifth. It was nineteen
- 12:14Speaker 5: ninety two, but on June twenty fifth, and I forget
- 12:17Speaker 5: the exact year, the same day living in Boca Ratona.
- 12:22Speaker 5: Get up in the morning, I'm gonna go buy flowers
- 12:24Speaker 5: in a cart for Danielle, the beautiful Danielle. And I
- 12:28Speaker 5: see on television that Parah Fawcett had died, and that
- 12:32Speaker 5: was a big deal from me. I love Para Fawcett
- 12:34Speaker 5: as a kid. But it didn't last long for Parah.
- 12:37Speaker 5: I mean the headlines, she was wiped off the page
- 12:40Speaker 5: very very quickly because hours after Farah died on that
- 12:44Speaker 5: June twenty fifth day, and he can I forget the year.
- 12:47Speaker 5: Michael Jackson died same day on my wedding anniversary, June
- 12:51Speaker 5: twenty fifth. It may have been two thousand and thirteen.
- 12:56Speaker 5: You can double check that, But at any rate, Farah
- 12:59Speaker 5: and Michael Jackson and died the same day on my
- 13:02Speaker 5: wedding anniversary. And I do believe there was history with
- 13:05Speaker 5: Clive Davis and Michael Jackson, although at this point you
- 13:08Speaker 5: can pretty much bet on everybody having history with Clive.
- 13:12Speaker 5: I mean, you talk about different genres of music. This
- 13:15Speaker 5: guy was involved with Aretha Franklin, Aerosmith, Barry Manilow, and
- 13:21Speaker 5: Pink Floyd. The starters pretty pretty amazing range. And of
- 13:26Speaker 5: course he's his greatest find. Mark charnop is me, of course,
- 13:31Speaker 5: but his greatest find that argument has to be Whitney
- 13:35Speaker 5: Houston right now, Alo, I guess, yeah, that's my name.
- 13:38Speaker 5: I would think that's that's his great ast. Fine, but
- 13:42Speaker 5: can you roll down the list of all the famous
- 13:45Speaker 5: artists that Clive Davis played a part of.
- 13:49Speaker 23: You got Janie Joplin, is that right? Tip Billy Joel
- 13:53Speaker 23: on Billy Joel, Yeah, it was one of his. You
- 13:56Speaker 23: Knowlicia Keys, Dion Warwick.
- 13:59Speaker 5: Well, she was there yesterday, both of them, Alicia and Dion,
- 14:02Speaker 5: to Orlando.
- 14:04Speaker 24: Tonio very owned Tony Orlando, Patti Smith because the night
- 14:11Speaker 24: basity rollers s a t U one g A y night.
- 14:16Speaker 5: You love that song, didn't you know?
- 14:17Speaker 10: Yeah?
- 14:17Speaker 5: Yeah, come on Davis at Columbia Records, Miles Davis. That's
- 14:22Speaker 5: a great one, Yeptha, It's just unbelievable, really is I
- 14:27Speaker 5: know he died last week and I was in Israel,
- 14:29Speaker 5: so I didn't really pay a lot of attention, but
- 14:32Speaker 5: I was. It was good to see my friend Ari Ackerman,
- 14:36Speaker 5: who is a I guess he's one of those influencers,
- 14:40Speaker 5: that's what he is. And somehow he got in to
- 14:44Speaker 5: the Central Synagogue yesterday He did a nice piece on
- 14:46Speaker 5: Instagram late yesterday that he was at that funeral. But
- 14:50Speaker 5: that was a star studded funeral. I mean here from
- 14:53Speaker 5: a couple of people, don't We'll get to the real news.
- 14:55Speaker 5: We did play Barry Manilo Mandy to start the show,
- 14:58Speaker 5: and he talked about his health difficulties and how it
- 15:03Speaker 5: compared to losing Clive Davis. This, Lewis is Barry Manilow
- 15:07Speaker 5: cut number fifteen.
- 15:09Speaker 21: A few months ago. Surgeons removed a piece of my lung.
- 15:14Speaker 21: Last week I lost a piece of my heart.
- 15:17Speaker 5: I love him, God, I love him now. This is
- 15:20Speaker 5: he after mentioned Alisha Keys, also at Clive Davis's funeral yesterday,
- 15:26Speaker 5: clearly broke it up. This will be Alisia cutting number sixteen.
- 15:30Speaker 20: Clive, you are woven into the fabric of who I am,
- 15:34Speaker 20: not just as an artist, as a woman.
- 15:37Speaker 5: And here is dick face jerk off Bruce Springsteen. He
- 15:42Speaker 5: had some words cutting number fourteen.
- 15:44Speaker 15: On that day. Clive showed a twenty two year old
- 15:47Speaker 15: nobody the same warmth, the same kindness, the same respect
- 15:55Speaker 15: that he would show me after all my success for
- 15:59Speaker 15: the next fifty years.
- 16:01Speaker 5: Go of yourself, Bruce, anyway, very sweet that it was
- 16:07Speaker 5: very nice. Yeah, because I'm the guy who's been successful
- 16:09Speaker 5: for fifty years and you're dead, Clive, Now what Bruce Springsteen.
- 16:15Speaker 5: I just nobody loved Bruce more than me. Maybe Fat
- 16:19Speaker 5: Chris Christi or Christopher Mandor Russo, but that's it. I mean,
- 16:22Speaker 5: and you too, though, you two. We love this guy.
- 16:25Speaker 5: We adored this guy, worship this guy. I saw him
- 16:28Speaker 5: ten times in the Born in the USA tour alone alone,
- 16:33Speaker 5: forgetting about the other times I've seen Bruce over the years.
- 16:37Speaker 5: But he has just turned into such a hateful idiot
- 16:40Speaker 5: like de Niro. I loved Robert de Niro, loved him.
- 16:44Speaker 5: I still think he's a magnificent actor. I really, do
- 16:46Speaker 5: you know I can separate the two. I will hate
- 16:49Speaker 5: you eventually based on your politics. I will. I'm not
- 16:53Speaker 5: mature enough to separate the two. A lot of you
- 16:54Speaker 5: are like Bill O'Reilly.
- 16:56Speaker 16: I'm not.
- 16:56Speaker 5: I will hate you and I love zero remorse. I
- 16:59Speaker 5: hate Bruce and I hate Robert de Niro, hate him.
- 17:03Speaker 5: But Bobby could act. He really could, you know, when
- 17:07Speaker 5: he proved to me he was a great actor. Forget
- 17:10Speaker 5: me about all the famous movies. Of course, God bothered
- 17:12Speaker 5: Goodfella's casino, all that mob stuff. Taxi. He did a
- 17:17Speaker 5: movie many years ago with Robin Williams, I love Him
- 17:22Speaker 5: and the lady is the one that I believe is
- 17:26Speaker 5: the voice of Marge Simpson forgot her name Julie, And
- 17:33Speaker 5: it was a true story about a group of patients
- 17:36Speaker 5: here in the Bronx, New York, and separalitis is something
- 17:39Speaker 5: that was called I forget and they literally end up
- 17:42Speaker 5: in a catatonic stage. Awakenings some great movie. So he
- 17:47Speaker 5: bawls in love with Penelope Ann Miller, he gets the medication,
- 17:51Speaker 5: he comes out of his you know, his catatonic state.
- 17:54Speaker 5: It's a whole bunch of patients, a whole bunch of them.
- 17:56Speaker 5: They're throwing tennis balls out him and hits him right
- 17:58Speaker 5: in the face. Robin Williams was great, and I said, Wow,
- 18:02Speaker 5: de Niro, he's not playing a mobster in this. He's
- 18:05Speaker 5: not trying to be funny like those unfunny movies with
- 18:08Speaker 5: Ben Stiller and Meet the Foxers. Those were terrible movies.
- 18:12Speaker 5: I mean terrible, nothing funny. And Ben Stiller has made
- 18:15Speaker 5: some very funny stuff. Something about Mary is a classic.
- 18:18Speaker 5: But when he did Awakenings, I was like, man, this
- 18:21Speaker 5: guy could act. That is a brilliant right. I'm glad
- 18:25Speaker 5: you agree with me. No, I saw it. It's it's amazing.
- 18:30Speaker 5: You gotta watch it. Robin Williams and Robin Williams is Robinson.
- 18:33Speaker 5: He was a tremendous actor and such a shy character.
- 18:38Speaker 5: I know when he killed himself, I was really upset.
- 18:41Speaker 7: And then movie is based on a true story.
- 18:43Speaker 5: That's a true story, though it took place in the
- 18:45Speaker 5: Bronx one hundred true story. Those patients were in the Bronx.
- 18:49Speaker 5: Robin was a magnificent talent. Ye when he killed himself.
- 18:53Speaker 5: I remember I was doing radio in Miami and there
- 18:56Speaker 5: was a guy on my station. He referred to himself
- 18:59Speaker 5: as the Big Oh. I referred to him as the
- 19:01Speaker 5: Big Zero, Orlando Alzergary. None of you ever heard of
- 19:06Speaker 5: him ever, trust me, But I remember he went on
- 19:09Speaker 5: the air and he called Robin Williams basically a wimp
- 19:14Speaker 5: for killing himself. And I've been there. I'm not proud
- 19:18Speaker 5: of this, but I've attempted suicide twice and it is
- 19:23Speaker 5: the loneliest, most horrible place you could ever be. Most
- 19:28Speaker 5: of you know the story in Cleveland with a picture
- 19:31Speaker 5: of my daughter Ava, who was one at the time.
- 19:34Speaker 5: Saved my life and look at the beautiful benefits I've
- 19:38Speaker 5: reaped since. But I was there, and it's lonely, and
- 19:42Speaker 5: it's sad for somebody to sit there and take Robin
- 19:46Speaker 5: Williams apart. Was really insensitive and stupid. I never talked
- 19:51Speaker 5: to that guy again. I ripped him a new asshole
- 19:53Speaker 5: on the air, I can tell you that. And I
- 19:55Speaker 5: was the star of that station, like I am here
- 19:57Speaker 5: even then, and I ripped them. But Williams was so talented,
- 20:04Speaker 5: whether he was doing his stand up routines or Mark
- 20:07Speaker 5: from Orc, Mork and Mindy. His movie work was outstanding.
- 20:12Speaker 5: Who was that movie he made? He was so great
- 20:14Speaker 5: with Matt Damon and and Ben ben Affleck early on soety. No,
- 20:21Speaker 5: he was great. Not he was great, not one of
- 20:23Speaker 5: these other ones. I forget the name will Hunting, Goodwill Hunting,
- 20:27Speaker 5: Thank you. Lewis is amazing, amazing, missus doubtfire and well, anyway,
- 20:33Speaker 5: he's gone, and I miss him, and I miss all
- 20:35Speaker 5: the people that do that. I miss obviously the guy
- 20:39Speaker 5: from Audio Slave and Chris Connell Cornell and Bennington from
- 20:45Speaker 5: or is it Pennington Bennington, Bennington from Lincoln Park and
- 20:50Speaker 5: all those people that feel like there's there's no way out,
- 20:53Speaker 5: even the guy that Bernard God rest his soul. I
- 20:55Speaker 5: spoke to Carol McGirk yesterday. Bernard loved this guy. He
- 20:59Speaker 5: was the chef and he was on CNN on Sunday nights.
- 21:02Speaker 5: He was a big deal. He killed himself years ago too.
- 21:06Speaker 5: It was that guy's name, though, a very big deal.
- 21:09Speaker 5: He traveled everywhere. He killed himself in France, he did.
- 21:13Speaker 5: And I think the same way that Robin Williams day. Yes, Bordain, Yeah,
- 21:18Speaker 5: good Lewis. Anyway, have a good morning. Cheer up boats.
- 21:29Speaker 5: Let me get to the good news of the day,
- 21:30Speaker 5: and that is Iran. I guess there's uh, there's a
- 21:34Speaker 5: ceasefire again, there's peace talks. I don't know. You know,
- 21:37Speaker 5: it depends that you talk to like John Katzimatidis or
- 21:40Speaker 5: I love Dally, very smart guy, very smart guy. He says,
- 21:43Speaker 5: we won because why because John looks at the economic
- 21:46Speaker 5: indicators like that's what he cares about. And when you
- 21:50Speaker 5: make a couple of billion dollars, you should care about that.
- 21:52Speaker 5: So he's telling me how great the Dow Jones is
- 21:55Speaker 5: nine of America does not does not gain with the
- 22:00Speaker 5: big Dow Jones. It came in a fourth to look
- 22:02Speaker 5: at the market, let alone play it.
- 22:03Speaker 14: Now.
- 22:04Speaker 5: I know four on one ks are doing well. That's good,
- 22:07Speaker 5: trust me, that's good. But the economics of this war
- 22:12Speaker 5: are not benefiting most of America. They're not. I'm sorry.
- 22:16Speaker 5: And the promises that were made at the beginning of
- 22:20Speaker 5: this war have not come close to being reached. So
- 22:24Speaker 5: despite John's best efforts yesterday, and he's a smart guy,
- 22:27Speaker 5: smarter than me, and you can't argue the Dow Jones,
- 22:30Speaker 5: the S and P all these things are up despite
- 22:32Speaker 5: his best efforts. In Caroline Levitt yesterday, in President Trump,
- 22:36Speaker 5: I remain very step pass in my opinion, which I
- 22:39Speaker 5: shared with Rachel Campos and Griff Jenkins and Charlie Hurt
- 22:44Speaker 5: on Sunday, which is we've won nothing nothing. The game
- 22:48Speaker 5: is still in the sixth inning, and we've got a
- 22:50Speaker 5: lot of work to do before we can start claiming victory.
- 22:53Speaker 5: I know you agree with me though, of course, But
- 22:56Speaker 5: you say, of course, But others out there saying we
- 22:58Speaker 5: won no show us how we want well. The dal
- 23:01Speaker 5: Jones is up, yeah, and the S and p is up,
- 23:04Speaker 5: so the economic indicators and oil is down, the price
- 23:08Speaker 5: of oil is down. So yes, in those circumstances, but
- 23:12Speaker 5: that's how we went to war, at least that's not
- 23:14Speaker 5: what they told us. Maybe that was why, you know,
- 23:18Speaker 5: and maybe they're all dancing to the bank, but it
- 23:21Speaker 5: was about a stopping their ability to create a nuclear weapon,
- 23:25Speaker 5: which we really did, believe it or not. During Midnight Hammer,
- 23:30Speaker 5: we damaged their centrifuges so much that even before Epnic
- 23:35Speaker 5: Fury we achieved some of that. But in this specific war,
- 23:40Speaker 5: we're supposed to get the uranium. We've got none of it.
- 23:43Speaker 5: They've got the dust. They still have it. And Campos
- 23:46Speaker 5: can yell at me all she wants and try to
- 23:49Speaker 5: paint me as John Bolton or Rich Lowry, one of
- 23:54Speaker 5: these forever war guys. That's not me. But I'm not
- 23:57Speaker 5: sure how you get to all that without putting some
- 23:59Speaker 5: boots on the ground, and at that point you are
- 24:02Speaker 5: risking American lives. But it's war, so we haven't gotten
- 24:06Speaker 5: the dust, right, They're still firing at each other. We
- 24:10Speaker 5: are in them in the strait of hor moves. We
- 24:12Speaker 5: claim we run it, they claim they run it. They're
- 24:16Speaker 5: about to start collecting tolls. I mean, give me a
- 24:19Speaker 5: break in the regime. Even though you wiped out a
- 24:22Speaker 5: whole bunch of bad folks that first Saturday, we killed
- 24:24Speaker 5: about fifty of them, there's plenty left. If you know
- 24:28Speaker 5: anything about these countries anything. You don't wipe out the
- 24:33Speaker 5: regime until you wipe out the regime, because as soon
- 24:37Speaker 5: as you killed five, five more are ready to go.
- 24:40Speaker 5: And the IRGC needs to be completely wiped off the
- 24:44Speaker 5: face of the map before you claim victory. Is there
- 24:47Speaker 5: anything wrong with what I just said? Don't you know?
- 24:49Speaker 5: I don't think there is, So then we've won nothing. No, okay,
- 24:53Speaker 5: what else is new?
- 24:55Speaker 7: Well, they're meeting again today in Doha, the Iranians.
- 25:00Speaker 5: They all there, Kushner and y whit coffee.
- 25:02Speaker 7: Well, and the Ranians initially said that they had not
- 25:05Speaker 7: sent a delegation, but apparently they had, so it's all
- 25:08Speaker 7: waste a time, pretty nonsense.
- 25:10Speaker 5: Like I said, I guarantee the audience or Russ Sullivan
- 25:13Speaker 5: checks in, our dear friend Mike Sullivan, his brother in Virginia.
- 25:17Speaker 5: Good morning, Vietnam. That was a great movie, Robin Williams,
- 25:21Speaker 5: Like I said to that big audience, Sunday morning on
- 25:24Speaker 5: Box News, I looked right at the camera, I looked
- 25:26Speaker 5: away from Rachel, Charlie and Griff and I said, I
- 25:30Speaker 5: guarantee you that Iran will never agree to a deal never,
- 25:35Speaker 5: And if they do and they signed some piece of
- 25:38Speaker 5: paper like they did with Obama and Terry, they will
- 25:42Speaker 5: never comply. And I feel better about that today than
- 25:46Speaker 5: even Sunday. They will not agree to a deal, and
- 25:49Speaker 5: if they do, they will never comply. So I'm not
- 25:52Speaker 5: sure what victory is. If it's a stock market for you, congratulations,
- 25:56Speaker 5: it's doing great.
- 25:58Speaker 16: What is it?
- 25:59Speaker 5: Fifty three thousand dollars? We broke record? Jest I got
- 26:02Speaker 5: no money in the market. I don't make enough money
- 26:03Speaker 5: to play the market, and I make a lot more
- 26:05Speaker 5: money than most Americans. So all those folks in about
- 26:09Speaker 5: forty seven flyover States that their best day is one
- 26:13Speaker 5: fighting out of a month. They go to wed Lobster.
- 26:15Speaker 5: You think they give a rats answer about the market.
- 26:17Speaker 5: I think they got tons of money in their four
- 26:19Speaker 5: to oh one k. They're trying to survive. They're trying
- 26:23Speaker 5: to put food on their table, and they can't afford
- 26:25Speaker 5: to do it right now because gas prices are still high.
- 26:29Speaker 5: Goods are still too high. But we're talking about stock
- 26:32Speaker 5: markets and all that fancy stuff that only a minuscule
- 26:36Speaker 5: amount of Americans really get to enjoy. Is that a
- 26:39Speaker 5: fair statement.
- 26:40Speaker 7: Yeah, and throw in that housing bill that the President
- 26:43Speaker 7: won't sign.
- 26:43Speaker 5: Why won't he sign that?
- 26:44Speaker 7: Well, because he wants to get that voter id D done.
- 26:47Speaker 7: Thing for soda why Yeah, to save America A yeah,
- 26:50Speaker 7: that needs to get done. Trump is one hundred percent right.
- 26:54Speaker 7: Trump is right on all these things. It's not a
- 26:58Speaker 7: matter of what he wants, it's a matter of execution.
- 27:03Speaker 7: Then we'll talk to Tacopina later, who spends a lot
- 27:06Speaker 7: of time with army generals from the United States to Germany.
- 27:09Speaker 7: I know he's known as a big time while he
- 27:11Speaker 7: was a prosecutor. Now he's the best defense attorney in
- 27:13Speaker 7: the world, but he spends a lot of time with
- 27:15Speaker 7: the Pentagon all over this country. And yeah, trust me
- 27:21Speaker 7: when I tell you that not everybody in and around Trump,
- 27:24Speaker 7: despite what they say on Fox News, is celebrating victory.
- 27:29Speaker 5: It's not there, folks, Listen to me, it's not there.
- 27:33Speaker 5: That's the truth. I know John and Greg feel differently.
- 27:36Speaker 5: That's fine, doesn't mean I love Trump every bit as
- 27:40Speaker 5: much as they do. I love him. He may be
- 27:42Speaker 5: mad at me. I think he's mad at me and
- 27:43Speaker 5: Mark Levin. I really do, because Mark Levin is on
- 27:47Speaker 5: the same exact page as me with Iran, with Israel,
- 27:50Speaker 5: with all of it. Jd Vance. The President has not
- 27:54Speaker 5: returned to any of my texts in about six weeks.
- 27:57Speaker 5: That's a long time. Maybe he's it's busy, I don't know.
- 28:01Speaker 5: But if he's angry or he's mad, he needs to
- 28:04Speaker 5: reach out to me and we'll have a discussion about it.
- 28:08Speaker 5: I'm not here to wave the pomp poms. I started
- 28:10Speaker 5: saying that with Bernard years ago before it came along
- 28:14Speaker 5: and became Trump's one of his top sick events. I'm
- 28:17Speaker 5: not here to wave the pomp poms. I love Trump,
- 28:22Speaker 5: I'm maga, I'm Republican. I'm scared to death of this
- 28:25Speaker 5: Democrat Party. Moderate Democrat. Stop it stop stop stop. It's DSA,
- 28:33Speaker 5: it's socialism, it's communism, it's Marxism. They are a sick,
- 28:38Speaker 5: deranged party. Thank god for President Trump. Thank god. But again,
- 28:45Speaker 5: pat Riley didn't win every game. Vince Lombardi didn't win
- 28:48Speaker 5: every game. Trump doesn't win every game. He doesn't. He's
- 28:52Speaker 5: the best. I think he's the best, ever doesn't win
- 28:55Speaker 5: every game. And if I feel differently about something, I
- 29:00Speaker 5: have to say it and don't tell me I don't
- 29:02Speaker 5: know what I'm talking about. He's in the rooms. I
- 29:04Speaker 5: know a lot more people than you people think I do, Okay,
- 29:08Speaker 5: a lot more. I have a lot of quote inside information.
- 29:13Speaker 5: I know you know that's true, though. I know you
- 29:15Speaker 5: know that. So I'm not just sitting here at some
- 29:18Speaker 5: studio on Third Avenue in New York spouting some bs.
- 29:22Speaker 5: I do come from a place of no, not N
- 29:26Speaker 5: O K N O W. And there's a lot of
- 29:30Speaker 5: work to be done before we can say we've won
- 29:32Speaker 5: this war. That's the bottom line. What else is going?
- 29:35Speaker 5: What about this Rikers Island story though?
- 29:38Speaker 7: Which Riker's Islands.
- 29:40Speaker 5: Mom, Donnie's are gonna shut it down?
- 29:43Speaker 18: No?
- 29:43Speaker 5: No, but he's really gonna do it. Yeah, he's gonna
- 29:45Speaker 5: build this. He's gonna build community jails.
- 29:47Speaker 7: I guess, well, this was something Mayor Deblasio wanted to do.
- 29:50Speaker 7: Could build these this.
- 29:52Speaker 5: Guy's Actually they've already shut down one of the Bacon
- 29:55Speaker 5: areas yesterday, but it took out two hundred and thirty detainees.
- 29:58Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean this is a start. But this is
- 30:00Speaker 7: the issue is where do you build these community jails.
- 30:03Speaker 7: Nobody wants one in their community, and they'll fight it
- 30:05Speaker 7: till he doesn't care. But he doesn't care, you know,
- 30:08Speaker 7: maybe he can get it done. Mayor to Blasio had
- 30:11Speaker 7: no shot of getting it done right, and may Delazio
- 30:14Speaker 7: got nothing done. This guy, Mom, Donnie, he's just going
- 30:17Speaker 7: to go right through it. And he's got everybody behind him. Everybody.
- 30:21Speaker 5: I can't believe the amount of support this guy's got.
- 30:25Speaker 5: And Republicans, even Trump, they seem scared to death to
- 30:29Speaker 5: go after this guy the guitar. Trump's not scared of anybody.
- 30:31Speaker 5: Maybe he's not. Maybe he's not. Maybe he's got this
- 30:35Speaker 5: grand plan. He's playing three D chests, all that nonsense.
- 30:38Speaker 17: You know.
- 30:39Speaker 5: Well, but the complimenting's got to stop at some point.
- 30:41Speaker 7: No, you would think so, but it has not. I mean,
- 30:44Speaker 7: he clearly likes him. I mean, it's not an act.
- 30:47Speaker 5: Even yesterday, Trump talked about the DSA candidates, the DSA winners,
- 30:53Speaker 5: and the person who asked a question. I forgot who
- 30:56Speaker 5: it was. They started the question with Mom, Donnie, and
- 31:00Speaker 5: then they brought up the other ones. He never even
- 31:02Speaker 5: mentioned Mam Donnie's name. Trump. He went right past Mom
- 31:05Speaker 5: Donnie had the opportunity right there to hammer them. He
- 31:09Speaker 5: went right past them and talked about the other candidates.
- 31:13Speaker 5: It's odd, I know, Lara Trump on this show yesterday,
- 31:17Speaker 5: he said, Listen, said he doesn't do it because he
- 31:20Speaker 5: knows he has you. Okay, great, he does know that.
- 31:24Speaker 5: I text him all the time. I don't dislike Mom Donnie.
- 31:27Speaker 5: I hate his guts. I know that sounds rough. I
- 31:31Speaker 5: don't care. I hate his guts. I've revoked my apology,
- 31:35Speaker 5: did it in Israel last week. He's a disgusting, hateful,
- 31:39Speaker 5: anti semi piece of garbage. That's Mom Donnie. Hate his guts.
- 31:43Speaker 5: Trump knows that. I text him that all the time.
- 31:46Speaker 5: And Lara said, Listen, he knows he's got you, he
- 31:48Speaker 5: knows he's got me. He's got others in New York,
- 31:52Speaker 5: Vicky Scott, whoever else. So he's just trying to figure
- 31:56Speaker 5: out how to make it work. She made a very
- 31:59Speaker 5: good argument for the president. But as a guy that
- 32:03Speaker 5: lives here and has to deal with this piece of
- 32:06Speaker 5: garbage every day, it's just difficult for me. That's all
- 32:10Speaker 5: he does. Don't live here. He splits his time between
- 32:12Speaker 5: DC and marro Lago. His names are still on the buildings.
- 32:15Speaker 5: He loves New York City.
- 32:17Speaker 18: I know that.
- 32:18Speaker 5: I know he loves New York, but he's not here
- 32:20Speaker 5: every day like I am every day listening to this
- 32:24Speaker 5: jackass go on and on about I was going to
- 32:27Speaker 5: destroy New York City. I could never compliment mom, Donnie never.
- 32:32Speaker 5: I can't think of anything I can say that he's good.
- 32:39Speaker 5: I don't think he's all that handsome enough with that
- 32:41Speaker 5: that's overrated. He weighs about eighty pounds, soaking what. He's
- 32:44Speaker 5: got no muscle, he looks like everybody else. He's got
- 32:47Speaker 5: facial hair and a decent smile.
- 32:48Speaker 16: So what.
- 32:49Speaker 5: He's smart, Like I said yesterday, so was Hitler. Who cares?
- 32:53Speaker 5: Who's smart? The whole goal is to take those smarts
- 32:56Speaker 5: and do good things. He doesn't do that. So give me,
- 33:00Speaker 5: give me something that I can compliment the mayor with.
- 33:05Speaker 5: No something, He's have to come up with something. Oh yeah,
- 33:12Speaker 5: you know.
- 33:12Speaker 7: Look Lara said to you yesterday was Look, he wants
- 33:15Speaker 7: the president wants to get stuff done in New York,
- 33:17Speaker 7: and to do that, he has to get along.
- 33:19Speaker 5: With the mayor. No he doesn't.
- 33:21Speaker 7: Well, at the end of the day, he does because
- 33:23Speaker 7: you're a talk show host, so you can say whatever
- 33:24Speaker 7: you want. But if the President comes down on him,
- 33:27Speaker 7: then it gets tougher to do things he wants to do.
- 33:29Speaker 5: Here, that's fine, but why do you have to go
- 33:31Speaker 5: completely the other direction. I'm not saying you come out
- 33:34Speaker 5: and kill the guy like I do. I understand President
- 33:37Speaker 5: Trump cannot talk about Mom Donnie like I do, but
- 33:40Speaker 5: why bender backwards to be so nice? I don't get it.
- 33:45Speaker 5: Why the good looking, the smart, the handsome, the pot
- 33:48Speaker 5: why all that. I'm not saying kill him like I do.
- 33:52Speaker 5: I call him at your hottest. I've called him a terrorist,
- 33:55Speaker 5: a communist, a socialist, a Marxist. I take none of
- 33:59Speaker 5: those back, none of them. The President doesn't have to
- 34:02Speaker 5: go there. But does he have to compliment him every
- 34:05Speaker 5: time he talks about him? Isn't there a happy medium?
- 34:08Speaker 7: No, you would think so, But for whatever reason, with him,
- 34:11Speaker 7: he is kid's gloves and has been since day one.
- 34:14Speaker 5: I can't stand it. I love Trump, I love him.
- 34:18Speaker 5: I'll never love a president more in my lifetime, but
- 34:21Speaker 5: I can't stand the way he talks about Mom Donnie.
- 34:25Speaker 5: I hate it. That's the best way to put it.
- 34:27Speaker 7: What else is going on, Well, there's this horrific crash
- 34:31Speaker 7: that happened overnight on.
- 34:32Speaker 5: The l Ie. This is a coach bus.
- 34:35Speaker 7: It was on the Ie right near Masbeth and Queen's
- 34:38Speaker 7: and it was going westbound.
- 34:40Speaker 5: It hit two cars.
- 34:41Speaker 7: Then the bus hit the center divid or flipped over
- 34:45Speaker 7: it and then hit two cars coming eastbound. I mean,
- 34:48Speaker 7: it's a really bad crash. Two are dead. My guess
- 34:51Speaker 7: that number will rise at least.
- 34:53Speaker 5: I heard this morning already that forward Dad.
- 34:55Speaker 7: I mean, the only number one that's confirmed anyway is
- 34:58Speaker 7: too but it wouldn't be surprised of that went up.
- 35:00Speaker 7: But this crash has shut down the OE in both directions,
- 35:04Speaker 7: right near exit fourteen. I'm sure Joe will have more
- 35:06Speaker 7: about it coming up. But yeah, that's pretty bad. And
- 35:08Speaker 7: then down in Washington one one.
- 35:09Speaker 5: Point about that. I was on the Lie last night,
- 35:12Speaker 5: of course, about three hours before this fatal accident. Again,
- 35:16Speaker 5: like Noan just said, Joe Nolan's got your own Morning Long.
- 35:19Speaker 5: But I was on it because, as you guys know,
- 35:21Speaker 5: yesterday after the show and made my way to Riverheadlong Island,
- 35:25Speaker 5: which is at the end of the world. I'm telling you, folks,
- 35:28Speaker 5: when you go past surely, when you go past Patchog
- 35:32Speaker 5: and you're still traveling like another thirty miles. I think
- 35:35Speaker 5: it was Exit seventy three. That's where Riverhead is. Oh,
- 35:40Speaker 5: it is far. Yeah, took me over three hours to
- 35:43Speaker 5: get there. Getting home wasn't all that bad. It was
- 35:45Speaker 5: less than two hours. It was late at night, but
- 35:47Speaker 5: I did go to a mainstream house, the Riverheadlong Island
- 35:51Speaker 5: annual golf and dinner event. My good friend Bobby Hartman
- 35:56Speaker 5: was on this show yesterday morning. He's a beautiful man.
- 35:59Speaker 5: He has spent the last twenty two years taking care
- 36:02Speaker 5: of my brothers and sisters in recovery. I spoke last
- 36:05Speaker 5: night Randy Grimes, my dear friend, Randy, who spent nineteen
- 36:10Speaker 5: eighty three through nineteen ninety two with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers,
- 36:14Speaker 5: started a great group athletes in recovery. He did a
- 36:17Speaker 5: lot if that last Tiger Woods accident. Told me about
- 36:19Speaker 5: car accidents on Potch News and Randy was great. He
- 36:22Speaker 5: spoke last night. A lot of folks spoke. It was
- 36:26Speaker 5: very nice at the Cherry Creek golf Course, Woods and
- 36:29Speaker 5: Lynx there in river Headlong Island again Don and Susan.
- 36:34Speaker 5: They performed, my friend Donald sat next to me. All
- 36:36Speaker 5: in all, it was a lovely, lovely night, so I
- 36:39Speaker 5: was there on the lie. But of course again hours
- 36:42Speaker 5: before that fatal crash. What else you got?
- 36:45Speaker 7: And then down in Washington. Maybe we'll have a mystery
- 36:48Speaker 7: solved later today. Tom Kine Junior, he's a congressman from
- 36:52Speaker 7: the middle part of New Jersey. He has not been
- 36:55Speaker 7: in Congress since March fifth, and they told us some
- 36:59Speaker 7: sort of meta coo issue, but they've refused to give
- 37:01Speaker 7: any more details, and people are saying, wait a minute,
- 37:04Speaker 7: you're the congressman who represents our district. We want to
- 37:06Speaker 7: know what's going on with you. Well, today, finally, June thirtieth,
- 37:09Speaker 7: he has not been there since March fifth. He'll hold
- 37:11Speaker 7: a press conference at ten o'clock where we think he
- 37:15Speaker 7: will detail what has happened to him where he's been
- 37:18Speaker 7: since March fifth.
- 37:19Speaker 5: Wow.
- 37:19Speaker 7: And then later today he's going to hold a fundraiser
- 37:22Speaker 7: because he's in this very hotly contested race for the
- 37:25Speaker 7: seventh district. That district has flipped back and forth red
- 37:29Speaker 7: and blue in New Jersey, and he's up against a
- 37:31Speaker 7: former navy pilot who wants to take the seat away
- 37:33Speaker 7: from a Democrat. So maybe we'll hear from him at
- 37:36Speaker 7: ten o'clock where exactly he's been. But you would think
- 37:39Speaker 7: the constituents would be owed an explanation of where he's been,
- 37:42Speaker 7: even if it is a medical episode. Tell us what's
- 37:44Speaker 7: going on, And you expect he's going to tell us, well,
- 37:48Speaker 7: I think, you know, we don't know for sure. You know,
- 37:51Speaker 7: when we've reached out to them to find out where
- 37:52Speaker 7: he's been, they said, they told us it's none of
- 37:54Speaker 7: our business. It's a medical issue.
- 37:56Speaker 5: All right. That's all coming up today, Sid.
- 37:59Speaker 2: And Friends in the Morning on the Red Apple podcast network.
- 38:04Speaker 5: The original Woodstock Folks was not in Woodstock, New York,
- 38:08Speaker 5: or sauget Ease or Rome. It was in Bethel, a
- 38:11Speaker 5: mile from my mom's house, and growing up as a
- 38:14Speaker 5: kid up there, spending all my summers up there, that
- 38:18Speaker 5: big beautiful field where Johannis Joplin performed. You just heard her.
- 38:22Speaker 5: She also has ties to Clive Davis and Jimmy Hendrickson
- 38:26Speaker 5: a three day beautiful musical festival. All it was were
- 38:30Speaker 5: these open fields and as kids there's a lot of
- 38:35Speaker 5: people my age that live in our community. There's beautiful
- 38:38Speaker 5: community in White Lake. We'd hop in trucks late Saturday night.
- 38:43Speaker 5: Everybody would grab their best weed and we'd head over
- 38:46Speaker 5: to these sprawling hills playing music. And I don't smoke weed,
- 38:52Speaker 5: but others got high. And you look at that starry
- 38:56Speaker 5: sky and go man. Not that long ago. Oh, all
- 39:00Speaker 5: these amazing acts were here.
- 39:02Speaker 16: Now.
- 39:02Speaker 5: Since then, they built what's called Bethel Woods, which I'm
- 39:08Speaker 5: telling you, if you've never been there and you live
- 39:10Speaker 5: in New York, you need to go. It's a beautiful museum,
- 39:15Speaker 5: beautiful taking you right back to nineteen sixty nine. Of
- 39:19Speaker 5: course the Woodstock concert, but everything that happened in sixty nine,
- 39:24Speaker 5: it's all right there. For a man walking on the moon,
- 39:27Speaker 5: to Vietnam, to the Mets winning the World Series, to
- 39:30Speaker 5: the Jets winning the Super Bowl, to the Knicks. We
- 39:33Speaker 5: just did it. We did it then too, won the
- 39:36Speaker 5: NBA Championship. We've got this really great theater with a
- 39:40Speaker 5: surround sound movie. At the very end of the museum.
- 39:44Speaker 5: My cousin Norm Coleman is in. My cousin Norm who
- 39:47Speaker 5: right now runs the RJC and friendly with Trump and
- 39:51Speaker 5: Bush went on to become Senator in the great State
- 39:54Speaker 5: of Minnesota two terms as mayor of Saint Paul. He
- 39:57Speaker 5: was smoking weed, would Abby hoppin way back when, Yes,
- 40:00Speaker 5: he was there at Woodstock, the great Norm Coleman. He's
- 40:03Speaker 5: in the movie. And they've got all these great performers
- 40:06Speaker 5: and a lot of them have ties to Clive sly
- 40:10Speaker 5: in the Family Stone, Janis, Joplin, all of them. So
- 40:14Speaker 5: we're going up there on Thursday. And now they've got
- 40:16Speaker 5: again Bethell Woods, which is not just a museum, but
- 40:20Speaker 5: this gorgeous amphitheater, and they get the best acts in
- 40:24Speaker 5: the country. I mean, similar acts to what you'd get
- 40:26Speaker 5: in Jones Beach, but it's a much nicer venue than
- 40:29Speaker 5: Jones's Beach. That's my opinion. Beautiful, I agree, and if
- 40:32Speaker 5: Lou agrees. No one knows more about music and venues
- 40:35Speaker 5: than Lewis. And you sit there and you can hear
- 40:40Speaker 5: I recommend smogging to join if you really want to
- 40:42Speaker 5: hear it. But you can hear Jimmy and Janis and
- 40:47Speaker 5: Joe Cocker and the Grateful Dead and all those great
- 40:50Speaker 5: acts that were there in nineteen sixty nine. The band
- 40:54Speaker 5: Le von Helm somebody mentioned him last night at my
- 40:56Speaker 5: golf tournament. So we're going to be there on Saturday
- 40:59Speaker 5: night at this beautiful amphitheater. My buddy Eric, who runs
- 41:03Speaker 5: the show up there is terrific to me and me,
- 41:06Speaker 5: Danielle and Gable gonna go see the Doobie Brothers And
- 41:09Speaker 5: the good news is McDonald's going to be there. That's
- 41:13Speaker 5: huge And Santana. Isn't that great? The Doobie Brothers and
- 41:18Speaker 5: Santana with sid Rosenberg in attendance. Are you jealous? Know
- 41:23Speaker 5: I'm a little jealous. Yeah, you want to come? No,
- 41:27Speaker 5: I'm not.
- 41:27Speaker 16: I'm not.
- 41:28Speaker 5: I'd love to come. There's no tickets. I could probably
- 41:31Speaker 5: get him a ticket. I'm sid Rosenberg. Plus, you can
- 41:34Speaker 5: go in the back and sit on the lawn. You
- 41:36Speaker 5: can just right. You get yourself a lounge chair and
- 41:39Speaker 5: you sit on the lawn, which most people did during
- 41:42Speaker 5: the actual Woodstock three day concert. In fact, everybody did.
- 41:46Speaker 5: The stage fell apart after the rain left it in
- 41:50Speaker 5: great shape to oh what a message.
- 41:51Speaker 7: So I can sit on the grass and unroll my
- 41:54Speaker 7: baggie of weed. That's it, roll my own joints.
- 41:57Speaker 5: That's what everybody does. It doesn't matter if it's like
- 42:00Speaker 5: it's legal there. Trust me up there there, and you
- 42:03Speaker 5: still have folks up there that never left.
- 42:06Speaker 15: No.
- 42:06Speaker 5: Hi, I go to this place. It's called the Bethel
- 42:09Speaker 5: Cafe my family. It's a cute little diner restaurant. Lovely
- 42:13Speaker 5: Tyra owns it, and it's not far from town. And
- 42:17Speaker 5: you got guys like Duke Devlin. I think he came
- 42:19Speaker 5: from Oregon to California. He's still wearing the same shirt
- 42:22Speaker 5: he wore in nineteen sixty nine. I swear some you know,
- 42:26Speaker 5: what do you call that tie dyed shirt? He never left.
- 42:29Speaker 5: A lot of those people never left. Some of them
- 42:32Speaker 5: followed the grateful dead around the country. But they're still
- 42:36Speaker 5: up there. Yep, there's still It's amazing. I love those people.
- 42:40Speaker 5: You talk about dedication. I got like a mountain t
- 42:45Speaker 5: shirts Mountain exactly, No, exactly. Oh the band was huge,

- 47:45Speaker 5: in New York by a mile. Yeah, everybody hates once.
- 47:49Speaker 5: I hate one Soto, hate them having a good season.
- 47:52Speaker 5: What he means having a good season in terms of
- 47:54Speaker 5: the players on that team. He never hits a big
- 47:57Speaker 5: home run. Ever hits a home run. You know, it's
- 48:00Speaker 5: the losing six to three, it's a solo shock. At
- 48:03Speaker 5: the end of the year, he's gonna go, you know,
- 48:04Speaker 5: forty one twenty. But what has he done that you remember?
- 48:08Speaker 5: Outside of letting balls roll between his legs? Maybe I
- 48:12Speaker 5: should fix change that. I don't know.
- 48:16Speaker 22: Where he's not hitting behind Aaron Judge anymore. Maybe that's
- 48:18Speaker 22: a problem.
- 48:18Speaker 5: Yeah, well, Pete Alonzo, Yeah, who's smacking the crap out
- 48:22Speaker 5: of the ball in Baltimore? How about that?
- 48:24Speaker 25: How about what him smacking the ball in Baltimore? Who

- 49:50Speaker 5: it is the Parott Media Media Conference. I guess I
- 49:54Speaker 5: know the exact name of it. I know that it
- 49:56Speaker 5: was once a year, and I did it a couple
- 49:59Speaker 5: of months ago and it was great. It was great.
- 50:02Speaker 5: And every now and then I'll see a cool tweet
- 50:04Speaker 5: pop up and it's me being interviewed by Garrett Sea
- 50:06Speaker 5: writer Jason Barrett or somebody else. And they are constantly
- 50:11Speaker 5: writing stories their great website every day, constantly writing stories
- 50:16Speaker 5: about us. So I love these guys. You'll see Sid
- 50:19Speaker 5: Rosenberg on Barrett Media's website at least twice a week.
- 50:23Speaker 5: On a serious note, they really have become the industry standard.
- 50:27Speaker 5: Jason Barrett works very, very hard. So now they've aided
- 50:30Speaker 5: this second conference on an annual basis and it's all
- 50:35Speaker 5: taking place later on today and tomorrow. So with that said,
- 50:39Speaker 5: here he is the new king of all media, Jason Barrett.
- 50:42Speaker 5: Good morning, Jason.
- 50:44Speaker 14: You've affectionately dubbed me the new Stern City. Come on,
- 50:47Speaker 14: I didn't earned that yet.
- 50:49Speaker 5: Uh you kind of are. I mean, you know, Stern
- 50:51Speaker 5: of course had the TV, the radio, all that stuff.
- 50:54Speaker 5: But in terms of covering the media, look, I went
- 50:57Speaker 5: the Talkers magazine conference a couple of weeks ago. I've
- 51:00Speaker 5: loved Michael Harrison for many, many years, but you guys
- 51:02Speaker 5: have taken over. You guys are the real number one
- 51:05Speaker 5: at this point. Your website is great, everyday new sports, music,
- 51:10Speaker 5: all aspects of radio. No, it does a better job
- 51:12Speaker 5: than you guys are covering it. So you deserve that title.
- 51:15Speaker 14: I appreciate it.
- 51:16Speaker 16: You know.
- 51:17Speaker 14: The one thing, as you noted, you mentioned you were
- 51:19Speaker 14: at another one a few weeks so you know, I'm
- 51:21Speaker 14: a champion of the industry. So to me, the more
- 51:25Speaker 14: things that are happening that promote the business, that connect people,
- 51:28Speaker 14: that share information, you know, showcase the starts who make
- 51:33Speaker 14: this industry go, like yourself the better.
- 51:35Speaker 5: Yes, you've always been very good about that, Jason. You know,
- 51:39Speaker 5: one of those jealous, petty types, which I like about you.
- 51:42Speaker 5: So I would imagine that the last conference went so well.
- 51:46Speaker 10: I know I did.
- 51:47Speaker 5: I did a panel with three or four other really
- 51:49Speaker 5: big time radio guys. I really enjoyed Eric Erickson that day.
- 51:53Speaker 5: That comes to mind. But it must have gone so
- 51:55Speaker 5: well that you decided to do it again. And what
- 51:59Speaker 5: can people expect today and tomorrow?
- 52:01Speaker 14: So today, I mean, and to your point, yes, it's
- 52:04Speaker 14: done well. Like this year, we're doing one day of news,
- 52:07Speaker 14: one day of sports, and actually a third day which
- 52:09Speaker 14: is music. That's the first time we're doing that, and
- 52:12Speaker 14: it's because, as you noted before, we cover all of
- 52:15Speaker 14: this and we have connections with a lot of people
- 52:18Speaker 14: in a lot of different places. So for today, specifically,
- 52:22Speaker 14: you're back there with Eric Erickson. We were bringing Larry
- 52:26Speaker 14: O'Connor in, who you probably know who's out of DC.
- 52:30Speaker 14: He's coming in for Mark Simones involved who has done
- 52:33Speaker 14: some things with you guys, and so that'll be a
- 52:36Speaker 14: big panel.
- 52:36Speaker 26: We have Stephen A.
- 52:37Speaker 14: Smith doing a conversation at the show. I've got the
- 52:41Speaker 14: CEO of Odyssey, Kelly Turner Shelby there, we have Adam
- 52:45Speaker 14: Carolla with Buck Sexton and to me, Faialia to talk
- 52:49Speaker 14: to do a discussion with me. So that's on top
- 52:53Speaker 14: of program directors, data analysts, you know a lot of
- 52:57Speaker 14: different stuff because to me, this is essentially a masterclass
- 53:01Speaker 14: of the news talk media industry for anybody who works
- 53:04Speaker 14: in the business. You know, everything from content to programming,
- 53:08Speaker 14: to sales to analysis of digital metrics, all those kinds
- 53:13Speaker 14: of things. That's what we're in there for. So you know,
- 53:16Speaker 14: anytime we can learn from people who are doing it
- 53:20Speaker 14: at a high level, like your group or you know,
- 53:24Speaker 14: people who are running companies to tell us where things
- 53:26Speaker 14: are going to go in the future, where they see
- 53:28Speaker 14: the business moving. You know, you come out of that
- 53:31Speaker 14: room and if you're there for an hour or eight hours,
- 53:33Speaker 14: depending on you know, what your day is, you're going
- 53:36Speaker 14: to come out of there and make a lot of connections.
- 53:38Speaker 14: You're going to learn a lot, and that's ultimately why
- 53:40Speaker 14: we do it.
- 53:41Speaker 5: My friend Chris Slivera, who runs all the Odyssee stations,
- 53:44Speaker 5: he was my intern twenty six years ago. At WWNEW
- 53:47Speaker 5: he split the week between me and Gary de Labade,
- 53:51Speaker 5: believe it or not, and he told me as a
- 53:53Speaker 5: very young man, one day I'm going to run this company.
- 53:55Speaker 5: At the time it was CBS, and he is. He's
- 53:57Speaker 5: an amazing story. He'll be there. John kattz Matitis, you
- 54:01Speaker 5: mentioned my group and a guy that's very similar to
- 54:04Speaker 5: Chris Oliberrow in that he's very very young and he's
- 54:07Speaker 5: already top notch program or run at the very top.
- 54:10Speaker 5: With Chris getting an award letter on today, my guy, Ched.
- 54:13Speaker 14: Lopez, Yes, I'm pumped about that. You know, we we
- 54:17Speaker 14: have an awards ceremony that closes the show and Chad's
- 54:21Speaker 14: getting the gold Standard and Business Award rightfully. So you
- 54:25Speaker 14: know the work you guys have done with WABC from
- 54:28Speaker 14: a turnaround standpoint, from a consistency standpoint, his leadership involved
- 54:33Speaker 14: in that with John to you know, make sure the
- 54:36Speaker 14: business continues to grow, the expansion of Red Apple Audio
- 54:40Speaker 14: across the country. Now you guys have you know, the
- 54:43Speaker 14: worldwide news network that just launched, and so just really
- 54:47Speaker 14: impressed with the job he's done, thrilled to give him
- 54:50Speaker 14: his due. A long time WABC program director Phil Boyce
- 54:56Speaker 14: is getting the gold Standard and Programming Award. He'll be there,
- 54:59Speaker 14: and then we we have a you know, a content
- 55:01Speaker 14: award later that Mark's and Moon's getting Who's been you know,
- 55:05Speaker 14: in the business for a long time for decades. So like, look,
- 55:08Speaker 14: you know, in the future, I'm gonna have to come
- 55:10Speaker 14: up with a sid Rosenberg Award. That the way this
- 55:13Speaker 14: thing keeps going, you know, it's just every year the
- 55:18Speaker 14: harder it becomes a really hard process. But uh, you know,
- 55:22Speaker 14: it's always well received, and I think it's important. One
- 55:25Speaker 14: thing I tell people said, we want to educate and
- 55:28Speaker 14: we want to challenge the industry on the website every day,
- 55:31Speaker 14: Barrettmedia dot com. But we also want to do on
- 55:33Speaker 14: other things that celebrates the industry. Because the one thing
- 55:37Speaker 14: I've always believed, you put decades into this business and
- 55:42Speaker 14: later on in life, when it starts to slow down,
- 55:46Speaker 14: you're just forgotten. And I've never understood that or agreed
- 55:49Speaker 14: with that. I've always looked at it like sports. After
- 55:52Speaker 14: your career is done, people should want the wisdoms. People
- 55:55Speaker 14: should want to meet the stars who help build it
- 55:58Speaker 14: and connect you know, past, to press it to future.
- 56:01Speaker 14: And so when we can do that and recognize greatness
- 56:05Speaker 14: that is really impacted in business for a long time.
- 56:08Speaker 14: I think that's so important and I'm thrilled that Chad,
- 56:12Speaker 14: Phil and Mark will be there for that.
- 56:14Speaker 5: Yeah, me too, And you know, just to kind of
- 56:16Speaker 5: move the Chad story to a bigger place for me,
- 56:19Speaker 5: as you know, and you kind of alluded to it
- 56:21Speaker 5: with making an award for me down the road. I
- 56:24Speaker 5: was elected and will be inducted into the National Broadcasting
- 56:27Speaker 5: Association New York Hall of Fame in October. And I
- 56:30Speaker 5: was really happy that Donovan included the Barrett media recognition.
- 56:35Speaker 5: When you guys recognize me as he top post in
- 56:38Speaker 5: America just two years ago in my radio show, the
- 56:41Speaker 5: number one morning show in America just last year, you're
- 56:43Speaker 5: part of that great press release. I love that.
- 56:46Speaker 14: But it all started proud of that.
- 56:49Speaker 5: Well, thank you. I'm happy you did that, like you,
- 56:52Speaker 5: But it all started twenty six years ago with Mark
- 56:54Speaker 5: Chernoff was on our radio show yesterday. He was the
- 56:57Speaker 5: guy that gave me my first chance after w W
- 57:00Speaker 5: with WFAN and an ended ten years ago with Chad
- 57:03Speaker 5: Lopez here at WABC. So for me, Jason Barrett, that
- 57:07Speaker 5: was kind of the bookends. Not other people involved obviously,
- 57:11Speaker 5: but Mark turn Off to Chad Lopez kind of my history.
- 57:15Speaker 14: Well, and the funny thing about it said, like, you're
- 57:18Speaker 14: here today for the news conference. Tomorrow we have our
- 57:22Speaker 14: sports conference. We have an award for programmers named after
- 57:25Speaker 14: Mark Turnoff.
- 57:26Speaker 5: Oh wow, we have.
- 57:27Speaker 14: An award named after Jeff Smullyan, who started sports radio.
- 57:31Speaker 14: And tomorrow happens to be the anniversary of wfan signing on.
- 57:36Speaker 14: So we're doing our sports conference thirty nine years to
- 57:39Speaker 14: today when sports radio was born. And who's getting the
- 57:42Speaker 14: Jeff Smullyan Award? Chris Olivero. WW, you talk about the connections,
- 57:47Speaker 14: I get just who's getting the Turnoff Award? Eric Spiz,
- 57:50Speaker 14: I lovell The whole connection this year is pretty cool,
- 57:54Speaker 14: and honestly, I didn't know it was going to happen
- 57:56Speaker 14: that way when we started, but the way its materialized
- 57:59Speaker 14: has been a lot.
- 58:00Speaker 5: Eric Spitz was my program director well of those years
- 58:03Speaker 5: at WFAM when Churnof ran the show, when of course
- 58:05Speaker 5: Chris Olivero now runs the show now. So I'd be
- 58:09Speaker 5: remiss if I didn't do this, because I feel like
- 58:12Speaker 5: you become the go to guy when it comes to
- 58:14Speaker 5: radio and I'm always trying to dispel the notion, this
- 58:17Speaker 5: crazy THEORYO maybe more like paranoia, that radio is going
- 58:22Speaker 5: to go away, especially AM radio. I had this discussion
- 58:26Speaker 5: with President Trump six weeks ago about keeping AM radio alive,
- 58:30Speaker 5: and well, Jason Barrett, you do this for a living.
- 58:32Speaker 5: At this point, you tell me radio is it anywhere
- 58:36Speaker 5: near extinction?
- 58:38Speaker 14: No, it's not here. Here's the only thing I think
- 58:41Speaker 14: that we've got to understand. It's going to continue to happen.
- 58:45Speaker 14: There's just gonna be a lot of change to what
- 58:48Speaker 14: radio is. Radio is content at the end of the day,
- 58:50Speaker 14: whether somebody gets it on your phone, whether they get
- 58:53Speaker 14: it on a TV, whether they get it on a radio,
- 58:56Speaker 14: inside of a car, a phone, it's evolving. You know,
- 59:00Speaker 14: you're on YouTube, You're on you know, various places, and
- 59:04Speaker 14: so everybody who listens to your brand the content can't
- 59:08Speaker 14: get that if there is no WABC, and so I
- 59:11Speaker 14: think naturally WABC evolves, and it has. That's one of
- 59:15Speaker 14: the reasons Chad, you know, being recognized, he's done a
- 59:18Speaker 14: fantastic job at making sure WABC digitally transforms. But the
- 59:24Speaker 14: industry itself, there's never been a better time to be
- 59:27Speaker 14: in the audio space, said, there's more options to listen
- 59:30Speaker 14: to content today. Look at your show. It gets clipped
- 59:34Speaker 14: every day, it winds up all over social Well, is
- 59:37Speaker 14: that is that radio or is that digital content? Is
- 59:40Speaker 14: that Twitter content? No, that's radio content that just happens
- 59:44Speaker 14: to be distributed in a different place. So anyone, first,
- 59:48Speaker 14: you're in New York City, said, how many people are
- 59:50Speaker 14: stuck on the road and listening to this right now?
- 59:53Speaker 5: A lot that's not going.
- 59:54Speaker 14: Away until you show me that the highways are turned
- 59:58Speaker 14: into electronic gri that only live on a phone and
- 1:00:02Speaker 14: everybody streams. You're gonna be alive and well, this is
- 1:00:05Speaker 14: not going away anytime soon.
- 1:00:07Speaker 5: Jason Barrett, Barrett Media today, tomorrow, These days three days
- 1:00:12Speaker 5: of amazing conferences with tremendous speakers and the old time
- 1:00:16Speaker 5: greats in our magnificent industry. All right, so on the
- 1:00:19Speaker 5: way out, Jason Barrett, what are you most looking forward
- 1:00:22Speaker 5: to besides seeing me the these next couple of days.
- 1:00:27Speaker 14: It's always the connections with people. But honestly, sit for me,
- 1:00:31Speaker 14: I'm the worst person to ask because my goal going
- 1:00:34Speaker 14: in there is always get to Thursday five oh one.
- 1:00:37Speaker 14: That means the show is done and it went well.
- 1:00:42Speaker 14: I produced this show so intensely, like people don't see,
- 1:00:47Speaker 14: but I put one hundred and fifteen hours in the
- 1:00:49Speaker 14: last week to build this show. And it's because every
- 1:00:53Speaker 14: detail matters. Everything about the event from sports, news, music
- 1:00:58Speaker 14: has to be right and so but I hope you know,
- 1:01:01Speaker 14: if somebody's in there for forty five minutes or for
- 1:01:04Speaker 14: three days, they come away, they learn a lot of things,
- 1:01:08Speaker 14: they make a lot of connections, but they also appreciate
- 1:01:11Speaker 14: the attention of detail. It only works if you've got
- 1:01:14Speaker 14: good people on stage showing up, being candid, and I
- 1:01:18Speaker 14: think we've done a good job of that. But look,
- 1:01:21Speaker 14: I know that as long as the room is full
- 1:01:24Speaker 14: of the right people, it will always successful event. And
- 1:01:28Speaker 14: then it's literally what you make of the time you're there.
- 1:01:30Speaker 14: So I'm just looking forward to seeing everybody but the
- 1:01:33Speaker 14: producer and me for this show. And it goes back
- 1:01:36Speaker 14: to my radio background. I'm thinking about session to session
- 1:01:40Speaker 14: to session. I wish I could enjoy it more. My
- 1:01:43Speaker 14: crew love it, but I obsess over every little detail.
- 1:01:48Speaker 5: That's why you guys are great. That's why you're great.
- 1:01:50Speaker 5: That's why Barrett Media is great because you do obsess
- 1:01:53Speaker 5: over every detail, and trust me, Jason, you see it
- 1:01:57Speaker 5: in the results. Can't wait to see that al on today,
- 1:01:59Speaker 5: Buddy continued success. You've done a tremendous job and we'll
- 1:02:03Speaker 5: have fun at one forty this afternoon. Jason Barrett, thank
- 1:02:05Speaker 5: you so much.
- 1:02:06Speaker 14: You got it. I'll see you there, said.
- 1:02:08Speaker 5: All right, there he is Jason Barrett. Ladies and gentlemen,
- 1:02:11Speaker 5: Barrett Media. It is the industry standard. You want news, opinions, anything,
- 1:02:17Speaker 5: whether it's music, sports, news talk, nobody does it better
- 1:02:21Speaker 5: than Jason and Barrett Media. Will take a short break,
- 1:02:24Speaker 5: three more hours to go on this the Tuesday edition
- 1:02:28Speaker 5: of Sid and Friends in the Morning.
- 1:02:31Speaker 2: Sid and Friends in the Morning on the Red Apple
- 1:02:34Speaker 2: Podcast Network.
- 1:02:36Speaker 27: The Great Mark john Off You are absolutely the comeback kid.
- 1:02:41Speaker 27: I knew you were in any Wis part of the company,
- 1:02:44Speaker 27: and I knew you were talented, and they knew you
- 1:02:47Speaker 27: were funny, and you were a little bit off center,
- 1:02:53Speaker 27: which is I said, okay, that's not a bad thing,
- 1:02:55Speaker 27: that's a good thing. And I said you definitely deserved
- 1:02:59Speaker 27: the chance. And Steve Cohen was a big fan of
- 1:03:01Speaker 27: yours and said, yeah, you know, I think he's talented.
- 1:03:05Speaker 27: I think he's good. And I listened to some of
- 1:03:07Speaker 27: your stuff and I talked to you and I said,
- 1:03:10Speaker 27: it's definitely worth giving you a shot, and you're on airwork.
- 1:03:15Speaker 27: Never disappointed, never disappointed. It was just you know, your
- 1:03:22Speaker 27: your personal stuff at the time a lot. And and
- 1:03:25Speaker 27: as you say, you were to blame for your own stuff,
- 1:03:28Speaker 27: and I have to agree with that, but you were
- 1:03:31Speaker 27: able to come back from all of that horrible stuff.
- 1:03:36Speaker 27: You straighten things out. And now look at your New
- 1:03:38Speaker 27: York State Broadcasters Hall of Fame.
- 1:03:41Speaker 28: What an honor.
- 1:03:42Speaker 27: I mean that that's fabulous the way as I say,
- 1:03:45Speaker 27: you are absolutely the comeback kids.
- 1:03:48Speaker 5: Let me play some of these cuts and then we'll
- 1:03:50Speaker 5: get to the Hall of Fame. I've got all the names. Now, No,
- 1:03:53Speaker 5: you asked for this last week. I've got him for you. Okay,
- 1:03:56Speaker 5: But first here is Poarrie monolog. We played Mandy to
- 1:03:59Speaker 5: start this sh this morning. I was so happy. I
- 1:04:01Speaker 5: love Barry Manilo and he had this to say at
- 1:04:05Speaker 5: the Clive Davis funeral. Where was this yesterday? In New
- 1:04:09Speaker 5: York City Central Synagogue? Central Synagogue, I guess that was
- 1:04:12Speaker 5: Clive Davis's shole. And here is the eighty three year
- 1:04:17Speaker 5: old Barry Manilow.
- 1:04:19Speaker 21: A few months ago, surgeons removed a piece of my lung.
- 1:04:23Speaker 21: Last week I lost a piece.
- 1:04:26Speaker 17: Of my heart.
- 1:04:27Speaker 5: Alicia Keys also spoke yesterday. She was also pretty broken
- 1:04:32Speaker 5: up Lewis. Alicia Keys cut number sixteen.
- 1:04:35Speaker 20: Clive, you are woven into the fabric of who I am,
- 1:04:39Speaker 20: not just as an artist, as a woman.
- 1:04:43Speaker 5: And finally, Bruce. I used to love an adore Bruce Springsteen.
- 1:04:47Speaker 5: I hate him, hate him, and I so badly want
- 1:04:52Speaker 5: to play his music because I have to admit I
- 1:04:54Speaker 5: love a lot of his songs. But I can't do it.
- 1:04:57Speaker 5: I can't do it because I'm not mature sure enough
- 1:05:01Speaker 5: to separate the two. And he's become such a hateful
- 1:05:04Speaker 5: bastard and stupid. He really is stupid. He can sing
- 1:05:09Speaker 5: Born to Ron and thunder Road all day, but he's
- 1:05:11Speaker 5: stupid that I can't do it. And somehow Bruce, much
- 1:05:14Speaker 5: like sid Rosenberg would do, made it about himself yesterday.
- 1:05:17Speaker 5: Here is Bruce Lewis. Sometimes we are in.
- 1:05:22Speaker 9: The midst of identifying with lou has shaped.
- 1:05:26Speaker 5: Our lives to get easy. Bruce, calm down the midst
- 1:05:30Speaker 5: of what has happened to sing Tenth Avenue breeze out
- 1:05:33Speaker 5: and shut up. Sometimes we do need to shut up. Yeah,
- 1:05:37Speaker 5: terrible time. Well he didn't shut up yesterday as Bruce
- 1:05:40Speaker 5: Springsteen cut fourteen at the Clive Davis funeral.
- 1:05:43Speaker 15: On that day, Clive showed a twenty two year old
- 1:05:46Speaker 15: nobody the same warmth, the same kindness, the same respect
- 1:05:54Speaker 15: that he would show me after all my success for
- 1:05:58Speaker 15: the next fifty years.
- 1:06:00Speaker 5: Shove it up your ass. So my dear friend, Scott Caplan,
- 1:06:04Speaker 5: I have that song in the stable, shove it up.
- 1:06:09Speaker 5: I think that was on fourth of July at Asbury Park.
- 1:06:12Speaker 5: Scott Kaplan, the man who took a chance on me,
- 1:06:14Speaker 5: my very first ever radio partner. There was a kid
- 1:06:17Speaker 5: named Josh Grant. He lasted about an hour, but Scott
- 1:06:21Speaker 5: was the first big time guy had the chance to
- 1:06:24Speaker 5: work alongside. And Scott makes this very lengthy trip from
- 1:06:28Speaker 5: San Diego to Los Angeles a couple of times a week,
- 1:06:31Speaker 5: and he puts us on. He's listening right now. He
- 1:06:33Speaker 5: does a big time sports show on ESPN seven ten
- 1:06:36Speaker 5: out in Los Angeles. He's listening to us at four
- 1:06:39Speaker 5: forty four am in California. And I love Scott tact
- 1:06:43Speaker 5: I want you to book Scott this week justin. It
- 1:06:46Speaker 5: all started with Scott back in nineteen ninety eight. So
- 1:06:50Speaker 5: this Hall of Fame thing, there are so many people.
- 1:06:52Speaker 5: You heard there from churn Off. Scott is listening right now.
- 1:06:55Speaker 5: You heard the last couple of days from deetra Amus
- 1:06:59Speaker 5: kill me each in yesterday, Rady. Do have the list,
- 1:07:01Speaker 5: It's not just me. Seven of us will be inducted
- 1:07:05Speaker 5: into the New York Broadcasting Hall of Fame in October
- 1:07:09Speaker 5: at the beautiful Rainbow Room at Rockefeller Center. And I
- 1:07:13Speaker 5: can tell you that four of these people I've never
- 1:07:15Speaker 5: heard of, but they're Hall of famers. Two of them
- 1:07:19Speaker 5: are from Glen Falls, New York. Wow, yeah, okay, that's
- 1:07:23Speaker 5: up by Sarahtoga. It's lovely, My my, my main man.
- 1:07:26Speaker 5: Joseph Ajahvine lived there for a couple of years and
- 1:07:29Speaker 5: I visited him up there. It's gorgeous, but it's literally
- 1:07:32Speaker 5: in the middle. No one knows Glen Falls, New York.
- 1:07:35Speaker 5: So when I say the name, for example, Pete Clutier,
- 1:07:40Speaker 5: yes you really know who he is? Are you kidding?
- 1:07:43Speaker 5: I have never heard of that. Okay, out of me.
- 1:07:46Speaker 5: He's the morning show host.
- 1:07:47Speaker 23: Like I Amtier sounds like he played for the Quebec
- 1:07:50Speaker 23: Nord exactly right.
- 1:07:51Speaker 5: Well, he's going into the Hall of Fame. The glen
- 1:07:54Speaker 5: Falls morning show host and guess what even the station
- 1:07:57Speaker 5: manager a guy named Dan. So you got the station
- 1:08:02Speaker 5: manager and the morning show host at a station in
- 1:08:05Speaker 5: glent Bols, New York going into the Hall of Fame.
- 1:08:09Speaker 5: Then you've got a guy from Rochester. It says he's retired.
- 1:08:12Speaker 5: I think I've heard of this guy, former VP and
- 1:08:14Speaker 5: general manager, Chuck Samuel's a name ring a bell all
- 1:08:19Speaker 5: about one Samuel And the fourth one from Binghamton and
- 1:08:27Speaker 5: also a VP and general manager. His name is Bob Krumenacker.
- 1:08:32Speaker 5: You got it.
- 1:08:33Speaker 23: Think I can't wait to see who's going to induct
- 1:08:35Speaker 23: him and say his name.
- 1:08:36Speaker 5: Now, clearly we don't follow the whole state, and it's
- 1:08:40Speaker 5: not just about us. I know, a very city centric,
- 1:08:44Speaker 5: but you would think when people make the Hall of Fame,
- 1:08:46Speaker 5: you've heard of these people Jim Kerr, Elvis Durant or
- 1:08:50Speaker 5: Mike Francessa don iim miss sid Rosenberg. Never heard of
- 1:08:53Speaker 5: those four. The other three one includes me obviously, this
- 1:08:57Speaker 5: one you've heard of. It's funny because we talked about
- 1:09:00Speaker 5: this guy quite a bit a couple of weeks ago. No,
- 1:09:03Speaker 5: he was forced to step down from his anchor desk
- 1:09:07Speaker 5: locally here at WABC Channel seven because he is suffering
- 1:09:13Speaker 5: from dementia. Longtime news anchor Bill Ritter. Huh going in
- 1:09:18Speaker 5: with me? How about that?
- 1:09:20Speaker 7: That's well deserved?
- 1:09:21Speaker 5: One hundred. Bill Ridder is a Hall of Famer, no
- 1:09:23Speaker 5: doubt about it. Although I agree with him, which I
- 1:09:25Speaker 5: don't or not, He's a Hall of Famer and the
- 1:09:28Speaker 5: last one. And you know I love this lady. I
- 1:09:30Speaker 5: love her a lot. Channel five Every morning, I think
- 1:09:35Speaker 5: it's called Good Day New York. My friend Rosanna Scotta
- 1:09:40Speaker 5: not great, Yeah that's great. So you get Rosenberg, Rosanna Scotto,
- 1:09:43Speaker 5: Bill Ritter and four people no one has ever heard of.
- 1:09:47Speaker 5: I mean nobody, not even their parents. Yeah. Oh that's
- 1:09:50Speaker 5: my kid. Oh wait to go, Promenknocker, two Glen Falls,
- 1:09:56Speaker 5: one Rochester and one Binghamton. The forgotten part of the world.
- 1:10:00Speaker 5: But I tell you what if Bruce Blinkman, my man
- 1:10:03Speaker 5: Bruce so I spoke to three times yesterday, if he's
- 1:10:05Speaker 5: gonna beat Kathy Hokele, he needs to take care of
- 1:10:09Speaker 5: those places. Those are the places that have been forgotten
- 1:10:12Speaker 5: by horrible governors like Andrew Cuomo and Kathy Hokel all
- 1:10:16Speaker 5: those upstate places Monticello, Utica, Rochester, Binghamton, Syracuse. They're a mess.
- 1:10:24Speaker 5: They're a mess. And people live there too, you know,
- 1:10:28Speaker 5: not just Brooklyn or Manhattan. So that is the big
- 1:10:31Speaker 5: the big day coming up in October. And as of
- 1:10:34Speaker 5: right now, they offered me a table of ten and
- 1:10:37Speaker 5: I've invited fifty three people. Oh good luck with that. Yeah.
- 1:10:41Speaker 5: The question is how do you fit fifty three on
- 1:10:44Speaker 5: a table for ten? I think that's impossible. So you're
- 1:10:47Speaker 5: gonna have some work to do. Do you want me
- 1:10:49Speaker 5: to do it?
- 1:10:49Speaker 7: I can do the table settings. You want me to
- 1:10:51Speaker 7: figure out whereverybody's gonna sit.
- 1:10:53Speaker 5: We'll start with you. Where the hell are you? Said?
- 1:10:55Speaker 5: I don't know, you tell me, so you've got a
- 1:10:57Speaker 5: prom seat? Come on, stop, you want to show with me.
- 1:11:00Speaker 5: You said that to probably thirty people. Oh come on,
- 1:11:04Speaker 5: you gotta pray. You know what you're sitting maybe twenty
- 1:11:06Speaker 5: people not helping me. You're not helping me. You're great,
- 1:11:13Speaker 5: loves you too. You know who I'm going to be
- 1:11:16Speaker 5: sitting with? Crumben Acre. He probably woman his table, who knows,
- 1:11:22Speaker 5: maybe all of Rochester's coming. I don't know. Here's the
- 1:11:28Speaker 5: upstate section. There are a lot of great Stopping by
- 1:11:33Speaker 5: today Sid and.
- 1:11:35Speaker 2: Friends in the morning on the Red Apple podcast network.
- 1:11:40Speaker 5: Just got back from Israel. Alex Trainman was a man
- 1:11:42Speaker 5: who put together that unbelievable three day j NS dot
- 1:11:47Speaker 5: org International Policy summit, where again I spoke Bbe, Mike Huckabee,
- 1:11:53Speaker 5: Mark Levin, hundreds and thousands of other big names. So Alex,
- 1:11:58Speaker 5: let me stop by sayings, this was now the second
- 1:12:03Speaker 5: year we've done this. It was even better this year
- 1:12:05Speaker 5: than last year. So congratulations. Thanks so much.
- 1:12:09Speaker 16: Sid.
- 1:12:10Speaker 26: I'm so glad you were there to join us.
- 1:12:12Speaker 16: No.
- 1:12:12Speaker 5: I loved every second of it. I really did. And
- 1:12:15Speaker 5: I know Israel misses me already.
- 1:12:16Speaker 14: Yes, absolutely.
- 1:12:18Speaker 26: I don't know how we're getting on without you.
- 1:12:22Speaker 5: I got all these people, the one or one for
- 1:12:24Speaker 5: mayor of New York now, Michael rappaport A Portnoy, all
- 1:12:27Speaker 5: these people, and Jessica Tish. Maybe I don't know, Maybe
- 1:12:31Speaker 5: I'll just move there one for mayor of tele avivor
- 1:12:34Speaker 5: when they own steps down, mayor of Jerusalem. How about that?
- 1:12:38Speaker 26: That would be good? That would be good. I think
- 1:12:41Speaker 26: you'd have some tight competition, but uh, you could do it.
- 1:12:44Speaker 16: No.
- 1:12:44Speaker 5: I think they love it out there. They love it.
- 1:12:46Speaker 5: They're ready for some excitement. And I did talk about
- 1:12:49Speaker 5: BB speaking the same night that I did. Me and
- 1:12:52Speaker 5: Mark Levin spoke right before BBE. That was last Sunday night.
- 1:12:55Speaker 5: And you know, I talk about this on the show
- 1:12:57Speaker 5: all the time. It's become a sport in the United
- 1:13:00Speaker 5: States and around the world to hate BB and hate Israel.
- 1:13:03Speaker 5: Bbe's a terrible guy. He's he's committing genocide. He's murdering babies.
- 1:13:08Speaker 5: I mean, just so uninformed and stupid. Every world leader
- 1:13:13Speaker 5: should be like Bbe. This poor bastard is trying to
- 1:13:16Speaker 5: protect a country the size of New Jersey with ten
- 1:13:19Speaker 5: or eleven neighboring countries that want to kill them. Europe
- 1:13:22Speaker 5: paid some United States. They're not doing any favories, to
- 1:13:25Speaker 5: be honest, the last couple of months either. So this
- 1:13:28Speaker 5: guy should be commended, congratulated. People should watch how this
- 1:13:32Speaker 5: guy works every day that he's keeping you ten million
- 1:13:35Speaker 5: people as safe as possible, Yet he gets hammered around
- 1:13:39Speaker 5: the world. So I love when he said, Alex, he goes,
- 1:13:41Speaker 5: let me ask you something. If a bunch of terrorists
- 1:13:45Speaker 5: came through the border in America pick A City, Cincinnati, Sacramento,
- 1:13:51Speaker 5: Brooklyn and raped and murdered innocent Americans, thirteen hundred left
- 1:13:56Speaker 5: them dead in the streets. What do you think President
- 1:13:59Speaker 5: Trump would do? And I say that all the time.
- 1:14:04Speaker 5: BB right there, Alex Treman, right on the money.
- 1:14:08Speaker 26: Yeah, I think the Prime Minister gave a lot of
- 1:14:10Speaker 26: insights into how he thinks about this war, about how
- 1:14:14Speaker 26: he works to defend the citizens of Israel, you know,
- 1:14:18Speaker 26: discussed just how important it is to keep that security
- 1:14:23Speaker 26: perimeter inside South Lebanon, and of course that he insisted
- 1:14:28Speaker 26: that as long as he's the Prime Minister, that Iran
- 1:14:30Speaker 26: will never get nuclear weapons.
- 1:14:32Speaker 5: Which is exactly what President Trump said. And I will
- 1:14:34Speaker 5: say this because I said the same thing on Pox
- 1:14:36Speaker 5: News early Sunday morning. And the folks who keep asking
- 1:14:40Speaker 5: me what did the Israelis feel about Trump? Now, because
- 1:14:44Speaker 5: not that long ago Trump was more popular than anybody,
- 1:14:46Speaker 5: including Babe Trump could have won with ninety nine percent
- 1:14:49Speaker 5: of the vote. And it's anecdotal, just me, but almost everybody,
- 1:14:55Speaker 5: almost everybody I spoke to in Israel very disappointed President Trump.
- 1:15:01Speaker 5: What do you see you live there?
- 1:15:03Speaker 26: Yeah? I would say that the President's support his approval
- 1:15:07Speaker 26: ratings in Israel have dropped significantly, and it's not because
- 1:15:11Speaker 26: of everything that the President.
- 1:15:12Speaker 16: Has done for Israel.
- 1:15:13Speaker 12: And he's done amazing things.
- 1:15:14Speaker 26: For Israel, including flying side by side with the Israeli
- 1:15:19Speaker 26: Air Force over six weeks during the Operation Epic Fury
- 1:15:22Speaker 26: when they took out all of the Iranian nuclear facilities
- 1:15:25Speaker 26: and also the ballistic missiles. But specifically because here in
- 1:15:30Speaker 26: Israel we felt that Iran was on the ropes and
- 1:15:33Speaker 26: the President a decided to let up the military pressure
- 1:15:37Speaker 26: and b let up the economic pressure. But see, you know,
- 1:15:41Speaker 26: just talking so nicely about all these fanatics across the
- 1:15:45Speaker 26: Middle East, like Airtowan and Turkey, Altani and Katar, you know,
- 1:15:49Speaker 26: the field Marshal in Pakistan, about how wonderful they are,
- 1:15:53Speaker 26: and then also saying that Natanyao is fin crazy.
- 1:15:56Speaker 16: Yeah, you know, is a little bit.
- 1:15:58Speaker 26: Too, you know, making bad decisions. And you know, I
- 1:16:02Speaker 26: think a lot of Israelis can can see that the
- 1:16:05Speaker 26: President's interests have shifted, and that's okay, you know they can,
- 1:16:09Speaker 26: but really, the Prime the President should be praising the
- 1:16:12Speaker 26: Prime Minister for his war leadership and praising the Israeli
- 1:16:16Speaker 26: Air Force for doing this an incredible job over six weeks.
- 1:16:19Speaker 26: We didn't even lose one pilot.
- 1:16:20Speaker 5: One. I agree with you, But there are some that'll
- 1:16:22Speaker 5: say this is what President Trump does, whether it's Putin,
- 1:16:26Speaker 5: whether it's Kim John. You mentioned all those bad people,
- 1:16:30Speaker 5: Arab leaders. Look, I got it right here in New York. This, Mom, Donnie,
- 1:16:36Speaker 5: who is the biggest scumbag in the history of American politics,
- 1:16:40Speaker 5: the biggest scumbag. Trump at least once a week, finds
- 1:16:44Speaker 5: a way to call them good looking, calls them smart,
- 1:16:47Speaker 5: And some say to me, Shid, that's how Trump operates.
- 1:16:51Speaker 5: He believes being close with the enemy actually will give
- 1:16:56Speaker 5: him wiggle room to negotiate get something done somewhere down
- 1:17:00Speaker 5: the road. That may be true, but it hits close
- 1:17:03Speaker 5: to home from me with Mom, Donnie, and I know
- 1:17:06Speaker 5: it hits close to home with you with Boebee.
- 1:17:09Speaker 26: Well I think so. But you know, you hear the
- 1:17:12Speaker 26: things that are being leaked from the Trump administration. It's
- 1:17:16Speaker 26: not just from Trump directly in his phone calls with
- 1:17:19Speaker 26: Barack Revid, but we see that there's a regular stream
- 1:17:22Speaker 26: of information that is widely believed to be coming from
- 1:17:26Speaker 26: the offices of Jared Kushner and Steve Woodkoff and even
- 1:17:30Speaker 26: from JD.
- 1:17:30Speaker 17: Vance.
- 1:17:31Speaker 26: You know, they're all, you know, all coming out very
- 1:17:34Speaker 26: negative against Nataniell, and the feeling among them is that
- 1:17:38Speaker 26: they'd like to see Nataniell out actually so they can
- 1:17:41Speaker 26: get in another leader that will basically do whatever the
- 1:17:44Speaker 26: President of the United States tells them to do.
- 1:17:46Speaker 27: Uh.
- 1:17:46Speaker 26: And there's a feeling here in Israel that even though Neatanille,
- 1:17:51Speaker 26: you know, he's at the same time the most popular
- 1:17:54Speaker 26: and the most unpopular politician, so that he is willing
- 1:17:59Speaker 26: to stand up to an American president, whether that was Obama,
- 1:18:02Speaker 26: whether that was Joe Biden, and even whether it's a
- 1:18:04Speaker 26: good friend like Alan Donald Trump.
- 1:18:05Speaker 5: And Trump's the same thing here. He's beloved and he's
- 1:18:08Speaker 5: hated at the same time. See Witkoff is Jewish, Kushner
- 1:18:11Speaker 5: is Jewish, JD's not. And I'm on record now for
- 1:18:15Speaker 5: quite some time. I think I was the first because
- 1:18:17Speaker 5: my relationship with Marco Rubio dates all the way back
- 1:18:20Speaker 5: to twenty ten. On a personal level, I was down
- 1:18:23Speaker 5: in Florida, he was in Miami running for state Senate.
- 1:18:26Speaker 5: And he'll be the first to admit and he did
- 1:18:28Speaker 5: on this show back last August. I helped him win
- 1:18:31Speaker 5: his very first ever state Senate seat down in Florida
- 1:18:34Speaker 5: back in twenty eleven. I love Marco Rubio. He loves Israel.
- 1:18:38Speaker 26: If you yeah, if you, if you pau israelis now
- 1:18:41Speaker 26: like which member of the administration they like the best,
- 1:18:44Speaker 26: you know, if it was advanced, even if it was Trump,
- 1:18:47Speaker 26: even if it was Mark Rubio, I think Mark Rubio
- 1:18:50Speaker 26: would score the highest marks over here. And this deal
- 1:18:53Speaker 26: that he did now to help broker a ceasefire and
- 1:18:57Speaker 26: armistist now with Lebanon actually really is very helpful for
- 1:19:01Speaker 26: Israel on the one and also tries to undo some
- 1:19:05Speaker 26: of the damage that was done by JD. Vance and
- 1:19:08Speaker 26: the MoU that the United States has been entering into
- 1:19:11Speaker 26: with Iran.
- 1:19:11Speaker 5: See that was my point. You're right, Marco now is
- 1:19:14Speaker 5: the most popular in Israel, and he's always been my
- 1:19:17Speaker 5: choice to be the next nominee. I don't know if
- 1:19:19Speaker 5: President Trump will afford him that opportunity, but they're just gonna,
- 1:19:23Speaker 5: you know, groom JD. Vans for that. But of the
- 1:19:25Speaker 5: three you just mentioned, JD. Vans by a long distance
- 1:19:30Speaker 5: is my least favorite, my least.
- 1:19:33Speaker 26: Yeah, and I think that this deal that's been signed
- 1:19:37Speaker 26: to get this ceasefire in Iran is potentially a setup
- 1:19:40Speaker 26: that can come back to harm jd Vance and his
- 1:19:44Speaker 26: prospects for inheriting the presidency moving forward, because you see
- 1:19:49Speaker 26: that the Iranians really have no interest in getting to
- 1:19:52Speaker 26: real peace. Quite the opposite. They seem pretty intent on
- 1:19:56Speaker 26: embarrassing the President of the United States because that's how
- 1:19:58Speaker 26: they demonstrate that they have won this conflict by push
- 1:20:03Speaker 26: forcing basically the US presidents who not want to go
- 1:20:06Speaker 26: any further with the military, by releasing funds to Iran,
- 1:20:10Speaker 26: and by humiliating the president and the United States.
- 1:20:13Speaker 5: Depending on who you talk to. Alex Trainman CEO JNS
- 1:20:17Speaker 5: dot or joining me live right now from Jerusalem, he's
- 1:20:19Speaker 5: bron about two hundred and fifty times since October ninth
- 1:20:21Speaker 5: of twenty twenty three. That's a real number.
- 1:20:24Speaker 15: You know.
- 1:20:24Speaker 5: Some people think, wow, the stock market is up and
- 1:20:27Speaker 5: the SNP is up and oil is going down, so
- 1:20:29Speaker 5: or winning the war. I don't agree with that. Okay,
- 1:20:33Speaker 5: we to win the war. We were told by President
- 1:20:35Speaker 5: Trump that we got to get the dust. They don't
- 1:20:37Speaker 5: have it that Obviously, there has to be some type
- 1:20:41Speaker 5: of control with the regime. I don't believe you've got that.
- 1:20:45Speaker 5: And the strait has to be open with America making
- 1:20:49Speaker 5: all the decisions, not the Iranians. We don't have that either.
- 1:20:52Speaker 5: So the naval blockade did a very very good job,
- 1:20:54Speaker 5: but they're not there. So I'm trying to figure out,
- 1:20:56Speaker 5: based on the metrics that the President of the United
- 1:21:00Speaker 5: States my brand. I love the guy, I love them,
- 1:21:02Speaker 5: but based on his metrics, how is America winning this war?
- 1:21:08Speaker 26: Well, what America did do, and there's no doubt about it,
- 1:21:11Speaker 26: is that they removed an existential threat to the entirety
- 1:21:15Speaker 26: of the Middle East, in particular certainly to Israel, and
- 1:21:18Speaker 26: to the entire world. Iran is no longer a nuclear power,
- 1:21:21Speaker 26: and that is only because President Trump did what no
- 1:21:25Speaker 26: other president was willing to do, and to fly side
- 1:21:27Speaker 26: by side with the Israeli Air Force.
- 1:21:29Speaker 5: And when you talk about that, you're not even talking
- 1:21:31Speaker 5: about Operation Epic Thorty. What you're talking about is months
- 1:21:34Speaker 5: ago when we had Midnight Hammer. Because during that exercise,
- 1:21:39Speaker 5: the conventional wisdom is we destroyed basically their centrifuges, so
- 1:21:43Speaker 5: they can have dust, but they can't enwitch it. And
- 1:21:45Speaker 5: make a nuclear bomb, right, they can't even access it
- 1:21:48Speaker 5: right now.
- 1:21:49Speaker 26: You know it's buried way underground. There's no indications that
- 1:21:52Speaker 26: they are able to get anywhere near it. You can
- 1:21:56Speaker 26: be certain that it is being surveilled to the highest
- 1:21:59Speaker 26: degree possible. And like you said, there's no more centrifuges left, right,
- 1:22:05Speaker 26: it doesn't mean that Iran could no longer develop centrifuges,
- 1:22:08Speaker 26: even though Israel was sure to take out the top
- 1:22:11Speaker 26: nuclear scientists. So there's not really the know how inside
- 1:22:15Speaker 26: Iran to do that. But for Israel, I would say
- 1:22:20Speaker 26: the number one indicator of winning this conflict with Iran
- 1:22:24Speaker 26: that has just terrorized the whole region for the last
- 1:22:27Speaker 26: three years and really the world in America for the
- 1:22:29Speaker 26: last forty seven years, would be a thorough regime change.
- 1:22:34Speaker 26: And what you do see is that there are members
- 1:22:35Speaker 26: of this regime that are still in place. These are
- 1:22:38Speaker 26: the ones negotiating with the United States. And then on
- 1:22:40Speaker 26: the other side of that, they are just putting out
- 1:22:43Speaker 26: comment after comment saying how they have defeated the United States,
- 1:22:49Speaker 26: and you see by their actions that they're not even
- 1:22:51Speaker 26: willing to open up the straits and for moves, which
- 1:22:53Speaker 26: is really the number one point of this deal. This
- 1:22:55Speaker 26: is a deal not to end the war. It's a
- 1:22:57Speaker 26: deal to open the straits. And right now what we
- 1:23:00Speaker 26: can see is that even the Straits is up for
- 1:23:04Speaker 26: Iranian mischief as they continue to strike the ships and
- 1:23:07Speaker 26: the United States continues to retaliate tumol lets.
- 1:23:10Speaker 5: Your one, Alex, tell me about the current status of
- 1:23:13Speaker 5: this Israel Lebanon ceasefire. Where are you with that?
- 1:23:18Speaker 26: Well, we've just signed a great deal. And what that
- 1:23:21Speaker 26: does for the first time is it actually legitimizes Israel's
- 1:23:25Speaker 26: presence in southern Lebanon as being given permission from the
- 1:23:29Speaker 26: Lebanese government to be there. And the reason why the
- 1:23:32Speaker 26: Lebanese government is giving Israel permission to be in southern
- 1:23:35Speaker 26: Lebanon is because they don't want Iran to be the
- 1:23:38Speaker 26: sovereign in Lebanon. Iran wants to protect Usbala. It's understood
- 1:23:42Speaker 26: that there's only one force in this entire region and
- 1:23:45Speaker 26: entire world for that matter, that can push back his ball,
- 1:23:49Speaker 26: and that's the Israeli Defense Forces. And so Israel maintains
- 1:23:53Speaker 26: a strong security buffer about ten miles in from the
- 1:23:57Speaker 26: border between Israel and Lebanon, and hopefully there will be
- 1:24:02Speaker 26: further conversations that might lead to a formal recognition of
- 1:24:06Speaker 26: Israel and even a normalization economic normalization between Lebanon and Israel.
- 1:24:11Speaker 5: Last one, let's go south north up in Lebanon, Let's
- 1:24:15Speaker 5: go south to Gaza. When I was adding those seven
- 1:24:17Speaker 5: days in Israel, there was a little bit of tumult,
- 1:24:20Speaker 5: very little, but a little bit of tumult. What is
- 1:24:22Speaker 5: going on with Hamas and Gaza down in Israel.
- 1:24:27Speaker 26: Well, meanwhile, the Hamas refuses to disarm the Board of Peace,
- 1:24:31Speaker 26: which is put together by Donald Trump, you know, and
- 1:24:34Speaker 26: they're trying to put into place some kind of a
- 1:24:36Speaker 26: technocratic government, that's a Palestinian led technocratic government to take
- 1:24:39Speaker 26: over from Kamas. Good luck to them, because Kamas refuses
- 1:24:43Speaker 26: to disarm. Israel controls more than half, even as much
- 1:24:47Speaker 26: as sixty percent of the Gaza strip right now, and
- 1:24:50Speaker 26: they're not going to withdraw as long as Kamasa maintains
- 1:24:54Speaker 26: their arms, and Kamas really has no incentive to maintain
- 1:24:57Speaker 26: their arms. But in addition to Israel now withdrawing, not
- 1:25:00Speaker 26: really going to be any major funds pouring into Gaza
- 1:25:03Speaker 26: for rebuilding until Hamas withdraw us. So It'll be interesting
- 1:25:07Speaker 26: to see over the coming weeks and months. We just
- 1:25:09Speaker 26: saw a report of this over the last several days
- 1:25:11Speaker 26: that whether or not Gazans will actually take to the
- 1:25:15Speaker 26: streets and start demanding that Kamas be overthrown. And this
- 1:25:19Speaker 26: will be interesting because as long as Kamas is there,
- 1:25:22Speaker 26: the people of Gaza are going to be the most
- 1:25:24Speaker 26: terrorized and you're never going to get to a period
- 1:25:27Speaker 26: where you can actually see rebuilding industrip.
- 1:25:29Speaker 5: But how could the people revolt They don't have arms.
- 1:25:32Speaker 5: Comas has guns. It's kind of like what they say
- 1:25:34Speaker 5: about Iran. Oh, the people are going to take over
- 1:25:36Speaker 5: the regime. The people are going to take to the streets.
- 1:25:39Speaker 5: Wait a second, Iran mowed down forty thousand innocent people.
- 1:25:42Speaker 5: They've got the guns. Same thing with Hamas and the Palestinians.
- 1:25:46Speaker 26: No, and same thing with Hasbella. That's right. And what
- 1:25:49Speaker 26: you learn is a lesson here that you actually cannot
- 1:25:52Speaker 26: defeat guns with F thirty five unless you're unless you're
- 1:25:57Speaker 26: willing to put men on the on the ground right
- 1:26:00Speaker 26: to engage in firefights, you're not going to have You're
- 1:26:03Speaker 26: not going to have a defeat. And any idea that
- 1:26:07Speaker 26: Hamas is going to disarm itself. You know, let's say
- 1:26:09Speaker 26: Camas comes to the table. Okay, look, here's five thousand
- 1:26:12Speaker 26: guns we've disarmed. Okay, sure you give us five thousand guns.
- 1:26:15Speaker 26: How many more do you have?
- 1:26:16Speaker 5: Exactly?
- 1:26:17Speaker 26: There's not really any mechanism for guaranteeing them.
- 1:26:20Speaker 5: It's like the dust too. The Iranians will give us
- 1:26:22Speaker 5: some dust, but who knows how much they won't give
- 1:26:25Speaker 5: us that we don't know about in the end, here, Alex,
- 1:26:29Speaker 5: have you already started, Tony, over a couple of days,
- 1:26:32Speaker 5: have you already started to plan for the third Annual
- 1:26:36Speaker 5: International Policy Summit.
- 1:26:39Speaker 26: Yeah, we're already thinking about the third summit, how to
- 1:26:41Speaker 26: step it up. You know, you mentioned that we did
- 1:26:44Speaker 26: it last year. It was amazing, and then we tried
- 1:26:46Speaker 26: to step it up this year. We had over twelve
- 1:26:48Speaker 26: hundred people that are over three days, two hundred and
- 1:26:50Speaker 26: thirty speakers. We're already thinking about what we can do
- 1:26:53Speaker 26: to make it bigger, bolder, more effective on a policy
- 1:26:58Speaker 26: level and on a philanthropic well. Next year, we're also
- 1:27:02Speaker 26: beginning to figure out when we can bring the a
- 1:27:06Speaker 26: version of what we just did here in Jerusalem to
- 1:27:08Speaker 26: Miami and potentially also to Washington, d C. In the springtime.
- 1:27:14Speaker 5: What about New York City.
- 1:27:17Speaker 26: We'll try to do something in New York as well.
- 1:27:18Speaker 5: Yeah, you should. I gotta tell you a great event.

- 1:27:36Speaker 5: time and you should be very, very proud of yourself.

- 1:27:41Speaker 5: a bunch of speakers speaking about everything from China to
- 1:27:46Speaker 5: obviously the conflict in Iran, to Hamas to American government.

- 1:29:34Speaker 17: the button, right on the money on everything I just
- 1:29:37Speaker 17: got back from Europe. Let me enlighten some of the listeners.
- 1:29:40Speaker 17: Go to Europe, Go to France, go to Italy, go
- 1:29:43Speaker 17: to England, wherever you want. You know you're gonna see.
- 1:29:45Speaker 17: You're gonna see robing, scumbags, robbing, raping and beating up
- 1:29:50Speaker 17: people all over the place. Robin, don't wear a watch,
- 1:29:54Speaker 17: don't wear any kind of jump, You'll get robbed. And
- 1:29:57Speaker 17: this is what it's all about right now. This is
- 1:29:59Speaker 17: the who says of the radical Muslim they're invading England, France, Anty, Spain.
- 1:30:05Speaker 17: And you want to know some murders, robbery instead of
- 1:30:08Speaker 17: riot in France. In Paris, nine hundred people got locked
- 1:30:11Speaker 17: up and they all released them, and then you had
- 1:30:14Speaker 17: two hundred cops that were beat up there all of
- 1:30:16Speaker 17: a sudden. Here's this, here's statistic.
- 1:30:18Speaker 5: My mother, what did I tell you last year when
- 1:30:20Speaker 5: my beautiful daughter Ava graduated in Wales. Paul I told
- 1:30:23Speaker 5: you this and the audience. Last summer, almost a year
- 1:30:27Speaker 5: to the day, we spent a full week in Europe
- 1:30:29Speaker 5: like you just did, and not just in Wales. We
- 1:30:31Speaker 5: went to London, we went to Paris and the court
- 1:30:34Speaker 5: I used was those countries are now unrecognizable. So I'm
- 1:30:38Speaker 5: glad you're here to say the same thing, because you're right.
- 1:30:42Speaker 5: Europe is a mess.
- 1:30:43Speaker 17: Right, here's some statistic for our listeners, and you want
- 1:30:46Speaker 17: to know some everyone's reaching out to me. We've got
- 1:30:49Speaker 17: the fight. We gotta wake up America. Eighty five percent
- 1:30:53Speaker 17: of the world's refugees. Guess who they are. They're Muslims.
- 1:30:57Speaker 17: They're seeking these asylum countries. Why because this is not
- 1:31:01Speaker 17: a quincition, you know why, because the other Muslim countries
- 1:31:04Speaker 17: don't want them, because all they do is bring crime
- 1:31:07Speaker 17: and problems to those countries. Now you've got Europe, Canada,
- 1:31:10Speaker 17: Australia now gets what their number one target is with
- 1:31:14Speaker 17: the scumbag mayor this Tommy Socialless, little Smiley punk. New
- 1:31:19Speaker 17: York City is wet. There is there a waterloo. There's
- 1:31:22Speaker 17: starting here in New York City. We can see what
- 1:31:24Speaker 17: this DS say. Next, they're going to be having these
- 1:31:27Speaker 17: people vote who are illegal in this country.
- 1:31:30Speaker 5: You know we can do.
- 1:31:30Speaker 17: About it nothing, because there's nothing to stop them from voting.
- 1:31:34Speaker 17: They will pass that voting bill at the president want
- 1:31:37Speaker 17: why because they want to cheat, cheat in California and
- 1:31:40Speaker 17: New York City, all these blue states. And you don't
- 1:31:42Speaker 17: want to know something. They want to change the Christian
- 1:31:46Speaker 17: Nation of America into a Muslim nation. Don't you get it? People?
- 1:31:51Speaker 17: Just watch see what's going on. You know, when your
- 1:31:54Speaker 17: tech talk to me about crime, crime is my business.
- 1:31:57Speaker 17: And when you tell me crime is down, you're full
- 1:31:59Speaker 17: of crap. There, Mondammi, Now you want to close down
- 1:32:02Speaker 17: the prisons ware you gonna put him in face. He mentioned,
- 1:32:05Speaker 17: you've got people. Cops are not arresting people. That is
- 1:32:09Speaker 17: the problem. On Sunday, I came back from the Hamptons,
- 1:32:11Speaker 17: Long Island Expressman to over these bikes dooing wheelies, cutting traffic, golfs,
- 1:32:16Speaker 17: banging off people's cards. No one's stopping these fanatics, this
- 1:32:20Speaker 17: may have says, do not stop these guys on these
- 1:32:22Speaker 17: illegal motive bikes with no license, places, no license, no insurance.
- 1:32:26Speaker 17: They're they're going to tell people out there. And now,
- 1:32:29Speaker 17: all of a sudden, if you get a guy who
- 1:32:32Speaker 17: rates a little twelve year old girl, this scumbag Snegelt
- 1:32:36Speaker 17: governor and this Mondamie, you know that builders they passed,
- 1:32:41Speaker 17: they can't turn them over to Ice, even if they're
- 1:32:44Speaker 17: illegalist country. What damn reason is that you can't turn
- 1:32:48Speaker 17: them a violent criminal over to Ice. This is there's
- 1:32:51Speaker 17: no answer. And now we see these congressional candidates that
- 1:32:54Speaker 17: were elected, all scumbag radical DSA pieces of gold. They
- 1:32:59Speaker 17: wanted to take our city down, and then they want
- 1:33:02Speaker 17: to actually take our country down. Look at King's County.
- 1:33:05Speaker 17: Your friend at Corona just got locked up, and the
- 1:33:08Speaker 17: other guy setio over there. They were running Brooklyn. Now
- 1:33:11Speaker 17: you know who's run in Brooklyn to DSA assembly seats,
- 1:33:14Speaker 17: congressional seats, they run everything. And then all of a sudden,
- 1:33:18Speaker 17: Doctor Trump said, brand Land is not the worst comedy.
- 1:33:21Speaker 17: Look at the Chevrolet.
- 1:33:22Speaker 5: Whatever Chevalier is worse. But I will tell you this.
- 1:33:25Speaker 5: I know that when you were in the White House
- 1:33:28Speaker 5: and you left the Oval office at your meeting with
- 1:33:30Speaker 5: President Trump, and you bumped into mom Donnie, and you
- 1:33:33Speaker 5: really wanted to punch him across the face. I'm going
- 1:33:35Speaker 5: to tell you that as much as I want to
- 1:33:37Speaker 5: punch Mamdanie across the face, I would love to knock
- 1:33:40Speaker 5: out Brad Lander. I'd love that.
- 1:33:42Speaker 17: Well, you know, you know what. But you can just
- 1:33:44Speaker 17: see what it's all about. They talk about this player
- 1:33:47Speaker 17: for doubs out there. She won exists Congressional district of Brooklyn,
- 1:33:50Speaker 17: which is nine percent. She believes that Israel should be
- 1:33:54Speaker 17: taken out, and then on top of it, sorrows and
- 1:33:57Speaker 17: sing them these are the scumbags that put over thirty
- 1:34:01Speaker 17: billion dollars into the DSA. They keep electing these these people.
- 1:34:05Speaker 17: Seven percent of the vote is vote de Seplin.
- 1:34:09Speaker 28: The real kicker is these are.
- 1:34:11Speaker 17: All young, young kids got a vote?
- 1:34:14Speaker 5: No, dang you. I just had this argument with my
- 1:34:17Speaker 5: friend Siggy and Jacqueline and Stella. They go, no, no,
- 1:34:21Speaker 5: they're winning because of illegals, because they're shipping in Muslims. No, no,
- 1:34:26Speaker 5: they're white, young New York City girls living in Williamsburg,
- 1:34:29Speaker 5: living in New York City. These dumpyaches. They're putting these
- 1:34:33Speaker 5: animals in power.
- 1:34:34Speaker 17: These little punks can't even take their zipper down and pee.
- 1:34:38Speaker 17: And now all of a sudden he listened to this
- 1:34:40Speaker 17: smile face, yo, who reminds me of remember that little
- 1:34:43Speaker 17: corporal in Germany?
- 1:34:45Speaker 16: Out of hitlers.
- 1:34:46Speaker 17: Let me know, everybody, I think, I don't think how
- 1:34:48Speaker 17: old that crap. They all followed them into the gas
- 1:34:51Speaker 17: came as this piece of gard. This is a Muslim
- 1:34:54Speaker 17: hit with his punk with his smiley face. He goes up,
- 1:34:56Speaker 17: he jumps to the pool with his post scumba. He's
- 1:35:00Speaker 17: a frustrated actor, raps. He's a rapper actor, so he's
- 1:35:05Speaker 17: he's on at all times when he's on the camera.
- 1:35:07Speaker 17: It's his acting ability that's sucking in all these moron
- 1:35:11Speaker 17: people in New York City and all his dear state people.
- 1:35:14Speaker 17: Why don't we have an economic development person put into
- 1:35:17Speaker 17: place a life. He doesn't care about economic development, he
- 1:35:20Speaker 17: doesn't care about real estate. He doesn't care about anything.
- 1:35:24Speaker 17: But that's story in New York City. We've got to
- 1:35:26Speaker 17: fight and then you don't want to know some more.
- 1:35:28Speaker 17: With the red freeze, take away from the lambs and
- 1:35:31Speaker 17: all these asks. Excuse me because he's not working for
- 1:35:34Speaker 17: any all these all these real estate developers. You gotta
- 1:35:37Speaker 17: come on board. I want to spearhead. I don't want
- 1:35:40Speaker 17: to make no money. I want to spearhead people to
- 1:35:43Speaker 17: go after this Mondamie and tell it like it is.
- 1:35:46Speaker 17: You know what one hundred and eighty days I told
- 1:35:48Speaker 17: you all he wants to do is take this city down.
- 1:35:52Speaker 17: That's part of his massive plant. And now we got
- 1:35:55Speaker 17: Blakeman also. We also here's another one. We have a
- 1:35:58Speaker 17: Republican Party in New yor get out of here. We
- 1:36:01Speaker 17: got a feckless leader doing nothing, and these social Democrats. Oh,
- 1:36:06Speaker 17: we're the only one that's fighting is Bruce Flakeman. And
- 1:36:09Speaker 17: if Brooke Flakeman moves has never come to the governor,
- 1:36:12Speaker 17: we finished. We've gotta all bear together for Bruce. I
- 1:36:15Speaker 17: don't care you like him to go like him. He's
- 1:36:17Speaker 17: the savior of this state because he'll take filey fights
- 1:36:20Speaker 17: out and give him nothing. And you want to know
- 1:36:23Speaker 17: something right now, we're talking about the New York City
- 1:36:26Speaker 17: Police Department. It is so disgraceful that these cops out
- 1:36:32Speaker 17: there cannot do anything that they want to do. Their
- 1:36:35Speaker 17: hands are tired. And he has a little caveats for
- 1:36:37Speaker 17: all your listeners. I got a story from where Mandami
- 1:36:41Speaker 17: comes from. It's it's called bug.
- 1:36:43Speaker 16: A n DA.
- 1:36:44Speaker 17: This is Time magazine. It's a section of Uganda.
- 1:36:48Speaker 26: One night, a man was.
- 1:36:49Speaker 17: In his house and then all of a sudden, his
- 1:36:52Speaker 17: wife was in the house with pree guys bangtating each
- 1:36:55Speaker 17: other whatever they're doing. He comes home, the husband and
- 1:36:59Speaker 17: what they do is they beat him to debt. And
- 1:37:01Speaker 17: then they said, what are we gonna book the body?
- 1:37:03Speaker 17: The wife puts on a big pot. They cook body
- 1:37:05Speaker 17: parts and they eat them. And this is what Bondami's
- 1:37:09Speaker 17: structure is. This little smiley face punk come from your Ganda.
- 1:37:13Speaker 17: Go back to your Ganda. I don't like you. You
- 1:37:16Speaker 17: are destroyed like city. Please let's stand together and fight
- 1:37:21Speaker 17: this smiley face socialist because otherwise this is the beginning
- 1:37:25Speaker 17: of course of the country. And on top of that, voting.
- 1:37:28Speaker 17: We can't control the voting. Don't be having all these
- 1:37:31Speaker 17: people vote. DSA controls everything. If we just see what
- 1:37:36Speaker 17: these elections. And then you got plug and Silma go
- 1:37:39Speaker 17: dance to another gay pride frew my daughter's gay. I
- 1:37:42Speaker 17: don't really care about their daughter. Plug ahead, you are
- 1:37:45Speaker 17: dispray that at the other guy, shaken Bank, what's his name?
- 1:37:48Speaker 17: I came Jeffrey. I'm not a loser or.
- 1:37:50Speaker 26: You are losing.
- 1:37:51Speaker 17: You're losing the Democratic Party because you're effectless, all these effectless.
- 1:37:57Speaker 5: That's why people love Bone. I mean, what else can
- 1:37:59Speaker 5: I say? You get eleven minutes of the most authentic,
- 1:38:04Speaker 5: raw emotional New Yorker right there every week. I mean
- 1:38:09Speaker 5: that I'm not patronizing bau. I wish he could run again.
- 1:38:11Speaker 5: I know we'll never do it again. They screwed him
- 1:38:14Speaker 5: every which way. He ran from mayor the Blasio Nicole
- 1:38:17Speaker 5: maly o'takas he'll never do it again. But the truth
- 1:38:20Speaker 5: is he's the type of guy we need. I like
- 1:38:22Speaker 5: Abe Hamra too out in Great Neck. He's actually working
- 1:38:25Speaker 5: for Bruce Plateman these days. He was confirmed yesterday, but
- 1:38:28Speaker 5: Paul Diedle. This is the guy, and what he's telling
- 1:38:31Speaker 5: you is true. What's happening in Europe, it's already happened.
- 1:38:34Speaker 5: Europe is gone. I was there last summer, Baul was
- 1:38:37Speaker 5: just there. What's happened there is here now, and it's
- 1:38:41Speaker 5: really scary. And these young dumb kids who don't know
- 1:38:45Speaker 5: any better. That's one thing. But for adults who live
- 1:38:48Speaker 5: in this city, like a Breadlander, I guess he's an adult.
- 1:38:51Speaker 5: I don't know he's an epping moron. But He's an
- 1:38:52Speaker 5: adult who have children, who have holmes, who have things
- 1:38:57Speaker 5: they love to just go about their business like this
- 1:39:01Speaker 5: is no big deal. It's ridiculous. So Bo Didle, congratulations
- 1:39:06Speaker 5: on another great segment, will take break, Lots more to do.
- 1:39:10Speaker 2: Sid and Friends in the Morning on the Red Apple
- 1:39:14Speaker 2: Podcast Network said, this is Frank Morano.
- 1:39:18Speaker 28: First of all, congratulations on your induction to the New
- 1:39:20Speaker 28: York State Hall of Fame. The fact of the matter
- 1:39:23Speaker 28: is this is long overdue. Much like Susan Lucci finally
- 1:39:26Speaker 28: winning that Emmy award, it should have happened a long
- 1:39:28Speaker 28: time ago. You are a rare radio talent. You're somebody
- 1:39:33Speaker 28: that understands that our job is to entertain and you
- 1:39:36Speaker 28: do it better than anybody. But unlike so many of
- 1:39:39Speaker 28: these people that go on the radio with the intent
- 1:39:42Speaker 28: of entertaining, you've actually managed to have an incredible impact
- 1:39:47Speaker 28: on public affairs in this city and this country. And
- 1:39:51Speaker 28: unlike so many people that have managed to strike that
- 1:39:54Speaker 28: balance between entertainment and having a meaningful impact, you don't
- 1:39:57Speaker 28: forget the radio community. You still go back and participate
- 1:40:01Speaker 28: in events like the Barrett Media Summit and talkers. There's
- 1:40:04Speaker 28: nobody that does that I've said that you're as influential
- 1:40:07Speaker 28: as Bob Grant was at his height, and that's true.
- 1:40:10Speaker 28: But the fact of the matter is, at some point
- 1:40:13Speaker 28: Bob stopped participating in the radio community for a variety
- 1:40:17Speaker 28: of reasons. But I think it says a lot about
- 1:40:19Speaker 28: you that you always went back and never forgot where
- 1:40:22Speaker 28: you came from, both geographically being a kid from Brooklyn
- 1:40:26Speaker 28: and professionally being a radio guy. Even while you get
- 1:40:29Speaker 28: to dine with presidents, mayors and prime ministers. Congratulations, it's
- 1:40:33Speaker 28: long overdue. My only complaint is that you're not yet
- 1:40:36Speaker 28: in the National Radio Hall of Fame. Let's hope we
- 1:40:38Speaker 28: can do that next year. Well done.
- 1:40:40Speaker 5: My friend Johnny Tobacco talking about Staten Island, he checks
- 1:40:43Speaker 5: in too, He said, you know, Sid, Dave Portnoy started
- 1:40:46Speaker 5: a pandemic relief charity fund during the lockdowns and raised
- 1:40:50Speaker 5: tens of millions of dollars and bailed out lots of
- 1:40:54Speaker 5: pizzeriahs and restaurants in New York City and around the country.
- 1:40:58Speaker 5: So to your point, no, oh, you an apology, You're
- 1:41:02Speaker 5: not an idiot. Deve Portnoy did do some amazing things
- 1:41:05Speaker 5: in and around Sid. I told you he didn't know that,
- 1:41:08Speaker 5: did you? No idea. I will take a break when
- 1:41:10Speaker 5: we get back talking about legends. How this guy is
- 1:41:13Speaker 5: not in the Hall of Fame. I have no idea,
- 1:41:16Speaker 5: and I mean there's not to patronize him. I don't
- 1:41:18Speaker 5: need to do at this point. Okay, he's in South Carolina,
- 1:41:20Speaker 5: I'm in New York City. He may be the most
- 1:41:23Speaker 5: talented radio host I've ever heard. Funny, smart part of
- 1:41:28Speaker 5: that legendary Opian Anthony combination, but the better one. Anthony Comia,
- 1:41:34Speaker 5: who's on this station every Sunday night, joins me live
- 1:41:38Speaker 5: from South Carolina.
- 1:41:40Speaker 2: Sid and Friends in the morning on the Red Apple
- 1:41:44Speaker 2: Podcast Network.
- 1:41:46Speaker 5: Congratulations, Sid, this is a big deal.
- 1:41:50Speaker 25: The I man would be so proud of you.
- 1:41:52Speaker 18: I guess all those years of him screaming at you
- 1:41:54Speaker 18: finally paid off.
- 1:41:56Speaker 25: The New York State Broadcasters Hall of Fame.
- 1:42:00Speaker 7: Pretty good.
- 1:42:03Speaker 5: Scott Kaplan and I traded in exchange. You can't make
- 1:42:07Speaker 5: this up for fantasy sports advertising, which the company down
- 1:42:13Speaker 5: in Florida wanted to do. They traded us to New
- 1:42:17Speaker 5: York City. W n W, at the time was the
- 1:42:20Speaker 5: hottest station in the country. Why Opie and Anthony Anthony? Okay, sorry,
- 1:42:25Speaker 5: Hope Anthony. Other shows did well too, Ron and fez
- 1:42:29Speaker 5: Don and Mike the Radio Chick, all of them. It
- 1:42:32Speaker 5: was a hot station. They needed a morning show, so
- 1:42:35Speaker 5: they made a trade and acquired me and Scott and
- 1:42:37Speaker 5: we were dreadful, not bad, dreadful. So Scott got asked,
- 1:42:43Speaker 5: even though Scott's a great talent, and we're very very
- 1:42:45Speaker 5: close to this day, and they brought in Craig Carton,
- 1:42:48Speaker 5: which was also a complete disaster. It led to me
- 1:42:52Speaker 5: going to w A N. But I should have known
- 1:42:54Speaker 5: day one about Opie and Anthony. We walked into their office,
- 1:42:58Speaker 5: just walked in. First time. You love this, Go meet
- 1:43:01Speaker 5: the Opien Anthony. They would like the Godfather and the
- 1:43:04Speaker 5: big bosses. They're sitting in their office, Opie Anthony and
- 1:43:07Speaker 5: their producer at the time, a guy actually really like
- 1:43:09Speaker 5: Rich Delgado. He's also been fired as many times as
- 1:43:12Speaker 5: I have. And in that office it's a little television.
- 1:43:17Speaker 5: On the TV is a ninety plus year old woman
- 1:43:21Speaker 5: having sex. Grandma's sex, I think they called it. That
- 1:43:25Speaker 5: was my first, my very first introduction to Opian Anthony
- 1:43:30Speaker 5: and my first introduction to New York City Radio. I
- 1:43:34Speaker 5: should have known. It was gonna be a while twenty
- 1:43:37Speaker 5: six years, Anthony, do you remember that you guys were
- 1:43:41Speaker 5: playing that type of stuff in your offices at WWEEW.
- 1:43:45Speaker 18: Said, first of all, congrats, I can't believe this broadcasting
- 1:43:51Speaker 18: New York Broadcast Hall of Fame, a Hall of Famer
- 1:43:55Speaker 18: after all these years. But yes, when you came in,
- 1:43:59Speaker 18: it was called century sex if I remember, and you know,
- 1:44:05Speaker 18: we never broke character from that shock jock thing. I'll
- 1:44:08Speaker 18: tell you that much. We lived our act and those
- 1:44:12Speaker 18: were crazy days. But to see where we are in
- 1:44:17Speaker 18: twenty twenty six with Sid Rosenberg a Hall of Famer
- 1:44:23Speaker 18: in broadcasting, this would have been unheard of back in
- 1:44:28Speaker 18: what they called the day.
- 1:44:29Speaker 5: Yeah. And you know what's funny about it to Anthony
- 1:44:32Speaker 5: is I'm not a Hall of Famer because of sports,
- 1:44:35Speaker 5: which I did for the better part of seventeen years,
- 1:44:38Speaker 5: a lot of sports stations around the country, or shock
- 1:44:41Speaker 5: jock talk radio or guide talk, which I also did.
- 1:44:45Speaker 5: I'm really going in, Anthony, because I speak to President Trump,
- 1:44:50Speaker 5: and I speak to BBT in Yahoo, and I speak
- 1:44:53Speaker 5: there just about every member of Congress and the Senate
- 1:44:57Speaker 5: and all these I actually have power in the pul
- 1:45:00Speaker 5: political world. If I would have told you that twenty
- 1:45:02Speaker 5: six years ago, never believe it.
- 1:45:05Speaker 18: No, no, it is amazing. And it just goes to
- 1:45:09Speaker 18: show you you never know what's gonna happen. And you
- 1:45:11Speaker 18: bring up the great don Imus. He went through a
- 1:45:14Speaker 18: similar thing because he was that off the wall kind
- 1:45:19Speaker 18: of a shock jock for his day back in the
- 1:45:21Speaker 18: seventies and you know.
- 1:45:23Speaker 5: Mobile worm, come on and get your baby, and he wound.
- 1:45:28Speaker 18: Up becoming the premier political talk guy with the guests
- 1:45:34Speaker 18: from Washington, the presidents, things like that. So it is
- 1:45:39Speaker 18: kind of something we've seen before. It's not unprecedented, but
- 1:45:43Speaker 18: you deserve it so much.
- 1:45:45Speaker 5: You are. So here's the thing too, It's not just
- 1:45:48Speaker 5: your radio show and.
- 1:45:50Speaker 18: What you've done on radio for all these years and
- 1:45:52Speaker 18: what you're doing now, because it is amazing, but your
- 1:45:56Speaker 18: involvement in New York in the community. You're out there,
- 1:46:01Speaker 18: you're doing things, sid you're you're talking to the people,
- 1:46:05Speaker 18: you're amongst them. You're just saying things they want to hear,
- 1:46:09Speaker 18: and a lot of things they don't want to hear.
- 1:46:11Speaker 18: But you're active. That's a big thing. Anyone could just
- 1:46:15Speaker 18: sit in front of a mic, we could tell with
- 1:46:17Speaker 18: all the crappy podcasting that's going on out there today.
- 1:46:21Speaker 18: But to do it well, I mean, hats off said,
- 1:46:25Speaker 18: an amazing job and an amazing career.
- 1:46:28Speaker 5: That's that means a lot coming from you, because you know,
- 1:46:30Speaker 5: I think you, like I said earlier, are probably the
- 1:46:32Speaker 5: most talented video guy I've ever I've ever talked to you,
- 1:46:36Speaker 5: ever seen, ever heard you were just you made everybody
- 1:46:39Speaker 5: laugh every morning for a very very long time, both
- 1:46:42Speaker 5: at w onew and of course srias XM, and still
- 1:46:46Speaker 5: with your own podcast, which is still great and right
- 1:46:48Speaker 5: here every Sunday night. But you do a lot of talking.
- 1:46:51Speaker 5: You're in South Carolina now, but uh yeah, You'll always
- 1:46:54Speaker 5: be a New Yorker at heart, no matter what. And
- 1:46:56Speaker 5: you spend a lot of time on Sunday nights talking
- 1:46:59Speaker 5: about Donnie, talking about the DSA, talking about the Democrats.
- 1:47:03Speaker 5: I saw your tweet a couple of days ago with
- 1:47:05Speaker 5: Chuck Schumer dancing at the gate parade. By the way,
- 1:47:08Speaker 5: I don't care that Chuck Schumer has a lesbian daughter,
- 1:47:11Speaker 5: God bless her. No, he couldn't care, right, Why is
- 1:47:14Speaker 5: he there? Why is Curtis Sleever there? Why are all
- 1:47:17Speaker 5: these white old men pandering to the gates. Can you
- 1:47:20Speaker 5: tell me that I wish I could.
- 1:47:23Speaker 18: I put out a tweet also that said I am
- 1:47:26Speaker 18: actually going to acknowledge I made a mistake supporting Curtis
- 1:47:30Speaker 18: Sleiewer when I saw him dancing around on some Pride
- 1:47:34Speaker 18: parade float.
- 1:47:36Speaker 5: It was it was embarrassing, it was.
- 1:47:38Speaker 18: And Schumer he walks around with a bullhorn, just yelling
- 1:47:44Speaker 18: I was the first Senator to ever be involved in
- 1:47:47Speaker 18: a Pride parade.
- 1:47:49Speaker 5: No one can't.
- 1:47:50Speaker 18: They were booing him. Even the gay guys and girls
- 1:47:54Speaker 18: they don't like Chuck Schumer, they were booing him. And
- 1:47:59Speaker 18: it's all just debauchery. What are you celebrating? Did you
- 1:48:03Speaker 18: see the disgusting mess in Portland? Of course they were nude,
- 1:48:10Speaker 18: naked guys roaming around under the guys of some parade.
- 1:48:15Speaker 18: And there are children, parents who should have their kids
- 1:48:19Speaker 18: taken away, were on the side of the streets watching
- 1:48:23Speaker 18: this parade. They were nude riding bicycles, which I assure
- 1:48:27Speaker 18: you didn't have seats on them. I wouldn't doubt for
- 1:48:31Speaker 18: a minute.
- 1:48:31Speaker 5: And they're taking their young children these things. You know,
- 1:48:36Speaker 5: as you're describing what happened in Oregon, the first thing
- 1:48:40Speaker 5: I'm thinking of is Man Anthony like me, he's getting
- 1:48:43Speaker 5: old because those people that you're talking about, those naked
- 1:48:47Speaker 5: guys in the streets, twenty six years ago, they would
- 1:48:51Speaker 5: have been guests of the Opian Anthony Show. You know,
- 1:48:57Speaker 5: you may be right, no, But on a serious note,
- 1:49:00Speaker 5: like I'm gonna go today to this Barrett Media conference.
- 1:49:03Speaker 5: You know, Anthony Comier that Barrett has become the industry standard.
- 1:49:06Speaker 5: They cover on their website Barrettmedia dot com every day
- 1:49:10Speaker 5: music and news, talk and sports, and Jason Barrett writes
- 1:49:14Speaker 5: about us almost every day every day, Sharrett see Wright,
- 1:49:18Speaker 5: and they really are great at what they do. And
- 1:49:20Speaker 5: they're gonna have all these different people speak over the
- 1:49:23Speaker 5: next three days from all three genres news, talk, sports,
- 1:49:26Speaker 5: and music. But you were around when you guys were
- 1:49:29Speaker 5: number one, when you guys were the first to beat
- 1:49:32Speaker 5: Howard Stern and really make him nervous. He was nervous
- 1:49:36Speaker 5: every day he went to work. You've seen the evolution
- 1:49:39Speaker 5: in the last thirty years of what we call radio
- 1:49:44Speaker 5: and that may be more shocking to you, I guess
- 1:49:47Speaker 5: than the term shock jock. Right, it is. And well,
- 1:49:55Speaker 5: as far as this Hall of Fame induction, goes.
- 1:49:58Speaker 17: You know what.
- 1:49:59Speaker 5: The first thing I I thought of was that scene
- 1:50:01Speaker 5: in Goodfellas, and I'm like de Niro, going, they're gonna
- 1:50:04Speaker 5: make them. It's gonna be made.
- 1:50:06Speaker 18: So watch out when you walk in the building there, Sid, right,
- 1:50:09Speaker 18: they better be know how it ended, No, I know
- 1:50:11Speaker 18: how it ended for PESHI did that that basement was empty.
- 1:50:14Speaker 5: That wasn't good. So if there's nobody inside the building,
- 1:50:17Speaker 5: right exactly. But that was a great scene on the
- 1:50:21Speaker 5: phone afterwards the other people outside the diner, y great scene.
- 1:50:25Speaker 5: But you've seen this this evolution and you know the
- 1:50:29Speaker 5: shock jock. They call me a shock jock all the time,
- 1:50:32Speaker 5: right wing conservative radio host and shot jock. And when
- 1:50:36Speaker 5: you think about what you guys did thirty years ago,
- 1:50:39Speaker 5: I'm nowhere near a shock jock. No, No, it was
- 1:50:43Speaker 5: a whole different era. First of all. Secondly, you know,
- 1:50:47Speaker 5: you grow up. You gotta get a little older.
- 1:50:49Speaker 18: If I was doing half the stuff we did on
- 1:50:52Speaker 18: the own A show, on my show, I would be
- 1:50:55Speaker 18: arrested these days.
- 1:50:56Speaker 5: It would be craat.
- 1:50:57Speaker 18: You got arrested those days, too, So yeah, we other.
- 1:51:01Speaker 18: You know, you bring up a valid point there, Sid. See,
- 1:51:04Speaker 18: that's why You're a Hall of Famer and I'm sitting
- 1:51:07Speaker 18: here in South Carolina.
- 1:51:09Speaker 15: I love it.
- 1:51:10Speaker 5: No, you look back though, and obviously Sex for Sam
- 1:51:13Speaker 5: was the one that kind of rocked the boat, and
- 1:51:15Speaker 5: you were fine after that. You still went from Thrush
- 1:51:18Speaker 5: your radio to Sirius X. Simon did very well, still
- 1:51:20Speaker 5: made millions and millions of dollars. But when you look back,
- 1:51:24Speaker 5: would you change anything, would you not do even something
- 1:51:28Speaker 5: like sex for Sam? Would you do it all over again?
- 1:51:31Speaker 10: Oh?
- 1:51:32Speaker 5: Boy? You know, everything you do gets you to where
- 1:51:36Speaker 5: you are, and I'm in a great place. I love
- 1:51:38Speaker 5: what I'm doing.
- 1:51:40Speaker 18: But I am also of the school of thought when
- 1:51:43Speaker 18: you look back and go, maybe that wasn't the best idea.
- 1:51:47Speaker 5: I do wonder sometimes what where the road would have led.
- 1:51:50Speaker 18: If we didn't do the Sam adams a sex thing
- 1:51:55Speaker 18: and some of the other things that we've done, some
- 1:51:58Speaker 18: things that have gotten me fired, which I believe i'd
- 1:52:01Speaker 18: been completely vindicated for over the course of the year.
- 1:52:03Speaker 5: Not really, No, uh, that's not true, not true, not true.
- 1:52:09Speaker 5: I love it. I think you have to look. People
- 1:52:13Speaker 5: got one day, they were fine and having a good time,
- 1:52:16Speaker 5: and they woke up the next day with a big
- 1:52:18Speaker 5: stick up their ascid all of a sudden, it wasn't
- 1:52:21Speaker 5: funny anymore. I don't get that. But you know, like
- 1:52:23Speaker 5: like I've done going from sports to this, you've done
- 1:52:26Speaker 5: the same thing. Now. You're always talking about city politics,
- 1:52:29Speaker 5: even when you guys were crazy on Opie and Anthony,
- 1:52:32Speaker 5: but you've really dug in here. So let me ask you.
- 1:52:35Speaker 5: Somebody else is talking about it, what are your thoughts
- 1:52:38Speaker 5: on the Iran War? I was on Box News Sunday morning.
- 1:52:41Speaker 5: They brought me on. I think they thought Rachel Campos
- 1:52:44Speaker 5: and Griff Jenkins and Charlie Hurt that I'd be in
- 1:52:47Speaker 5: line and congratulating Trump on winning the war. And I'm like,
- 1:52:50Speaker 5: we've won nothing. What are you talking about? It's a mess.
- 1:52:54Speaker 5: And I love Trump more than anybody, and he loves me.
- 1:52:56Speaker 5: But it's a mess. What is Anthony Coomia think?
- 1:53:00Speaker 26: Said?
- 1:53:01Speaker 5: We are on the same page as far as this
- 1:53:03Speaker 5: one goes, and and you're right the same as me.
- 1:53:06Speaker 5: I love Trump.
- 1:53:06Speaker 18: I support Trump. Anytime anyone tells you, oh, what what's
- 1:53:10Speaker 18: with your boy?
- 1:53:11Speaker 5: What is he doing? Now?
- 1:53:12Speaker 18: I go, you know, give me one president that's been
- 1:53:15Speaker 18: one hundred percent with anybody I've had problems with presidents.
- 1:53:19Speaker 5: I've loved what certain presidents do. Same with Trump. You
- 1:53:22Speaker 5: know what I do? You know what I do with you?
- 1:53:23Speaker 5: I do with sports analogy. I say, Vincelimbarnie didn't win
- 1:53:27Speaker 5: every game. Pat Browney didn't win every game. This is
- 1:53:30Speaker 5: not a win for Trump. I'm sorry, No, it is not.
- 1:53:34Speaker 18: And with the midterms coming up, I don't even know
- 1:53:37Speaker 18: if there's time left. We're four months out and we
- 1:53:40Speaker 18: are looking at a war that does not seem to
- 1:53:43Speaker 18: have an end the the whole.
- 1:53:46Speaker 5: It's over.
- 1:53:47Speaker 18: We won, we got the piece talks and we're gonna
- 1:53:51Speaker 18: be signing and they and then the next day they're
- 1:53:53Speaker 18: lighting the place.
- 1:53:54Speaker 5: Up like han boy. But they will tell you though,
- 1:53:58Speaker 5: Look at the dowd Jones never been higher, Look at
- 1:54:01Speaker 5: the ES and p so, the economic indicators. Even though
- 1:54:05Speaker 5: goods are still way too high in this country. Inflation
- 1:54:08Speaker 5: is still too high, gas prices are still too high.
- 1:54:11Speaker 5: There are economic indicators that would tell you not. Yes,
- 1:54:15Speaker 5: the United States is doing okay, but that's not what
- 1:54:18Speaker 5: this war was all about. There were three major objectives
- 1:54:22Speaker 5: and of those three we've accomplished zero, none, none of them.
- 1:54:27Speaker 5: There may be a dent that was put in their
- 1:54:30Speaker 5: nuclear program. That was for Shirley. No more than a den,
- 1:54:33Speaker 5: No more than a den. You got to give some
- 1:54:34Speaker 5: credit between Midnight Hammer and Epic Fury. We did destroy
- 1:54:38Speaker 5: their centrifuges. They have dust, but they really can't use
- 1:54:41Speaker 5: it right now. So, in all fairness, yes, unlike Barack Obama,
- 1:54:45Speaker 5: don't compare Trump to Obama. Trump did an amazing job.
- 1:54:49Speaker 5: He's destroyed a lot of their capabilities. Yes, he deserves
- 1:54:52Speaker 5: credit for that, But right now, the last two months,
- 1:54:55Speaker 5: the last two months were stuck.
- 1:54:58Speaker 18: Yeah, here's one of the biggest issues I believe is
- 1:55:01Speaker 18: that they've bombed the leadership.
- 1:55:05Speaker 5: They've bombed the head of the snake. And I don't
- 1:55:08Speaker 5: think they even know.
- 1:55:09Speaker 18: Who they're negotiating with. They have all these intermediaries, and
- 1:55:13Speaker 18: who are they talking to. I don't think they left
- 1:55:17Speaker 18: anyone in place of power over there to make any
- 1:55:20Speaker 18: real decisions on whether they're gonna keep the straits open.
- 1:55:24Speaker 18: They're gonna close them, They're gonna continue bombing, They're not.
- 1:55:28Speaker 5: This is so confusing, And you know this.
- 1:55:31Speaker 18: It's uncertainty that gets to the world. People don't like uncertainty.
- 1:55:37Speaker 18: Neither does the market. By the way, we've seen some
- 1:55:39Speaker 18: incredible swings, multi hundred point swings on the stock market
- 1:55:44Speaker 18: because of this uncertainty. And to hear Trump get out
- 1:55:48Speaker 18: there and try to get in front of this and
- 1:55:50Speaker 18: say that we're winning or pieces right around the corner.
- 1:55:55Speaker 18: It just it's a bad look. And unless this is
- 1:55:58Speaker 18: cleared up very very quickly, we are.
- 1:56:01Speaker 5: Going to have a disaster in the midterms. Couldn't agree more.
- 1:56:05Speaker 5: And it's making me nervous. So you should be in
- 1:56:08Speaker 5: the Hall of Fame, you said to me yesterday, you said,
- 1:56:12Speaker 5: Nam too much of a shot shot. But again, you
- 1:56:15Speaker 5: look at my history and it's pretty ugly. I mean
- 1:56:19Speaker 5: I said some very offensive things. Very offensive, I admit it,
- 1:56:23Speaker 5: very offensive. Yes, and well, how to go to rehab
- 1:56:26Speaker 5: and went to jail and missed a lot of time.
- 1:56:29Speaker 5: Now your warriors, don't get me wrong. No, But on
- 1:56:33Speaker 5: a serious note, if I made the Hall of Fame,
- 1:56:36Speaker 5: you certainly should be in the Hall of Fame, not
- 1:56:39Speaker 5: just here in New York, but in the National Hall
- 1:56:41Speaker 5: of Fame. Do you care about that type of stuff?
- 1:56:44Speaker 18: I never really think about it unless something happens, like
- 1:56:48Speaker 18: you being inducted into the Hall of Fame.
- 1:56:50Speaker 5: Then you go away. What's the matter with me? Hall
- 1:56:57Speaker 5: of Fame? What would you do if you got the
- 1:56:59Speaker 5: call to we gotta wrap this up, Bud not Opie
- 1:57:02Speaker 5: made the Hall of Maame, but not you. Now, that
- 1:57:05Speaker 5: would be fun.
- 1:57:06Speaker 18: At least it would give me a bevy of material
- 1:57:09Speaker 18: on the program, Sid, because.
- 1:57:12Speaker 21: Yeah, I don't know.
- 1:57:13Speaker 5: I don't know. Hey, look your whole career, my career.
- 1:57:18Speaker 18: We look and say, the biggest thing you could take
- 1:57:21Speaker 18: away from it is you'd never know what's gonna happen,
- 1:57:24Speaker 18: where you're gonna end up, and every twist and turn
- 1:57:28Speaker 18: and even the bad things that happen bring you exactly
- 1:57:31Speaker 18: to where you are today.
- 1:57:34Speaker 5: And if that does come to fruition at some point,
- 1:57:38Speaker 5: I'd be fine with that.
- 1:57:39Speaker 18: If not, I'm very proud to have a friend and
- 1:57:44Speaker 18: cohort like Sid Rosenberg getting into the Hall of Fame.
- 1:57:47Speaker 5: Thank you, Anthony. That's what I said earlier. I've been
- 1:57:49Speaker 5: around a lot of very talented people in my career
- 1:57:52Speaker 5: U from the Dynamuses to the mic and the Mad
- 1:57:54Speaker 5: Dogs to your boy Howie. But you're right there at
- 1:57:58Speaker 5: the very top of the list. So whether you get
- 1:58:00Speaker 5: in or out one day, it doesn't matter to me,
- 1:58:02Speaker 5: You're an immense talent. You're doing a great job on
- 1:58:04Speaker 5: this radio station. Was so happy to have you and
- 1:58:06Speaker 5: I love you. Anthony Coomia, thank you so much, my
- 1:58:08Speaker 5: good friend, thank you said congrats again, man, thank you,
- 1:58:11Speaker 5: God bless you. There is Sunday Nights right here on
- 1:58:14Speaker 5: seventy seven WABC.
- 1:58:17Speaker 2: SID and Friends in the morning on the Red Apple
- 1:58:20Speaker 2: Podcast Network.
- 1:58:22Speaker 5: The Great Joseph Tacapino. So Jojo, welcome back to the program.
- 1:58:27Speaker 5: I want to start with Ejen Carol, and you did
- 1:58:31Speaker 5: a great job representing President Trump more than once, actually twice,
- 1:58:35Speaker 5: but specifically in the Eging Carol trial with Judge Kaplan
- 1:58:39Speaker 5: and that jury. Really you wanted you to lose and
- 1:58:43Speaker 5: Trump be a rapist the rest of his life, but
- 1:58:45Speaker 5: you won. So you can say anything you want about
- 1:58:48Speaker 5: President Trump, but you can't call him a rapist unless
- 1:58:51Speaker 5: you want to spend fifteen million like George Sevenappolis. Exactly right, right, exactly.
- 1:58:55Speaker 5: So then then there was a civil case too, and
- 1:58:58Speaker 5: I guess the jury said that he was going to
- 1:59:01Speaker 5: pay a ninety million, eighty eight million, whatever it is.
- 1:59:04Speaker 5: So he lost the appeal yesterday and he has to
- 1:59:07Speaker 5: pay five million to me, that's still a win, rather
- 1:59:10Speaker 5: pay by than eighty eight. But is that it is
- 1:59:13Speaker 5: this over or is there more legal stop ahead?
- 1:59:16Speaker 16: Well, I think there's still some open issues that that,
- 1:59:20Speaker 16: you know, Leopell Wars is still going to deal with.
- 1:59:21Speaker 16: Regarding that second verdict, that was a crazy, ridiculous case.
- 1:59:25Speaker 16: Alena tried Alena Hapa tried that case and the jury
- 1:59:28Speaker 16: awarded eighty three million two Egene Carroll when the plant
- 1:59:32Speaker 16: the vast for twenty four I've never seen that my
- 1:59:35Speaker 16: life anymore. That just goes to show you the level
- 1:59:37Speaker 16: of disdain and lack of ability to get a fair
- 1:59:40Speaker 16: trial President Trump has in New York City, you know,
- 1:59:44Speaker 16: I mean, in the history of American jurisprudence, I don't
- 1:59:47Speaker 16: think there's been a case where someone said, ladies and
- 1:59:50Speaker 16: gentlemen of the jury award Mike client twenty four million,
- 1:59:53Speaker 16: which is ridiculous, and the jury said, no, no, no, no,
- 1:59:57Speaker 16: we're not awarding to fine twenty four million. We're gonna
- 1:59:58Speaker 16: give eighty three million. I mean, that's what happened in
- 2:00:01Speaker 16: Lena's trial. That is insane And is that part of that?
- 2:00:04Speaker 5: But was that part of the reason why? Because that
- 2:00:06Speaker 5: is so insane and that's a great job Joseph pointing
- 2:00:08Speaker 5: that out. Is that partly why Trump probably thought it's
- 2:00:12Speaker 5: going to go away completely?
- 2:00:14Speaker 17: Yeah?
- 2:00:14Speaker 16: I think so. Well, there's that and the fact that
- 2:00:16Speaker 16: he didn't get a fair trial in either trial, even
- 2:00:18Speaker 16: though we won the rape allegation, which was all they
- 2:00:20Speaker 16: played for. I mean, Egene Carroll said rape fifty two
- 2:00:22Speaker 16: times in her direct testimony. The summation was raape rape,
- 2:00:26Speaker 16: ray pray, ray ray rape, you know, and they lost
- 2:00:29Speaker 16: a New York jury who clearly did not like President Trump,
- 2:00:33Speaker 16: were to judge, who was itching to make sure the
- 2:00:35Speaker 16: vergue did not go in his favor. Okay, you know,
- 2:00:39Speaker 16: they still couldn't, you know, find him liable for rape.
- 2:00:43Speaker 16: And because they you know, you just have to be
- 2:00:45Speaker 16: able to look and a mirror once in a while,
- 2:00:46Speaker 16: even if you're a juror, and there was no way
- 2:00:49Speaker 16: that could have happened. So I think he thought it
- 2:00:51Speaker 16: was going to go away in total, because both cases
- 2:00:53Speaker 16: were ridiculous. I mean, imagine being accused of a sexual
- 2:00:56Speaker 16: assault of rape twenty seven, twenty eight, or twenty nine
- 2:00:59Speaker 16: years ago. So we don't know the date, we don't
- 2:01:01Speaker 16: know the year, we don't know the month. We don't
- 2:01:03Speaker 16: know the season even, Okay, so we can't check our calendars.
- 2:01:07Speaker 16: I couldn't check the president's calendars where he was I mean,
- 2:01:09Speaker 16: was there an album? Was not. Here's the most ridiculous allegation.
- 2:01:13Speaker 16: And it only became an allegation, of course, when he
- 2:01:16Speaker 16: became the president of the United States. So you know,
- 2:01:19Speaker 16: I guess it was forgot for two decades. But anyway,
- 2:01:22Speaker 16: you know that that case is over. And look, it
- 2:01:24Speaker 16: didn't lay it to love on him, clearly, and he
- 2:01:26Speaker 16: made out. Well, he's still plus ten on this one, right,
- 2:01:28Speaker 16: plus ten million because even if he has to pay
- 2:01:30Speaker 16: the five George Stephanopolis and his infinite wisdom went on
- 2:01:34Speaker 16: TV and called him rapist. Thank you, bloom fifteen million.
- 2:01:38Speaker 5: So that's it.
- 2:01:39Speaker 16: That's it from so that that case is a nothing.
- 2:01:42Speaker 16: It's really a nothing. Burg By the way, congratulations on
- 2:01:44Speaker 16: the Hall of Fame. That's a pretty cool thing. I
- 2:01:46Speaker 16: mean hall of fame. I listen, you just said the
- 2:01:49Speaker 16: word I was listening. He into me with Anthony. You
- 2:01:51Speaker 16: just said economic indicators. I was like, wow, that's such
- 2:01:54Speaker 16: an amazingly sophisticated term economic and the did you think
- 2:01:58Speaker 16: back in fifth grade and Polyprep, that you would even
- 2:02:01Speaker 16: know that even though what an economic indicator was, let
- 2:02:04Speaker 16: alone be able to say it, I got it. That's
- 2:02:06Speaker 16: amazing you've come. Brother, Where you've come is just different,
- 2:02:09Speaker 16: different levels stuff. So it's not so proud of you,
- 2:02:12Speaker 16: so happy for you. And by the way, on Fox
- 2:02:14Speaker 16: News the other day, I said, that was the good
- 2:02:16Speaker 16: that I've seen anyone, anyone analyze the state of the
- 2:02:20Speaker 16: war of random well, two things anyone has done him.
- 2:02:22Speaker 16: First of all, thank you for the Conmorris about the
- 2:02:24Speaker 16: Hall of Fame.
- 2:02:25Speaker 5: I love you and E been friends, like you said,
- 2:02:27Speaker 5: since the fifth grade at Polyprep in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn.
- 2:02:30Speaker 5: But you and I spoke obviously, I know how you feel.
- 2:02:33Speaker 5: But when you say that you thought my analysis on
- 2:02:37Speaker 5: Fox News Sunday morning was as good, if not better,
- 2:02:39Speaker 5: than anyone you've seen. First of all, thank you. But
- 2:02:42Speaker 5: second of all, explain to the audience why.
- 2:02:46Speaker 16: Well, because I've been saying that to you along. We've
- 2:02:48Speaker 16: been discussing it. Because we're in a quang Mary, we
- 2:02:52Speaker 16: are stuck. We could say on television all we want,
- 2:02:55Speaker 16: we won that crippled. This is almost a complete surrender.
- 2:03:01Speaker 16: It's not We're still in a war. We're nowhere near
- 2:03:04Speaker 16: a resolution, you know, because we need a resolution. You know,
- 2:03:07Speaker 16: we need a resolution either a total annihilation and a
- 2:03:10Speaker 16: victory or a favorable resolution, not a resolution that has
- 2:03:14Speaker 16: half the Republicans saying, my god, we're giving a terrorist
- 2:03:17Speaker 16: nation three hundred billion dollars. I mean, we need a
- 2:03:21Speaker 16: real resolution. We don't have one.
- 2:03:23Speaker 5: Hold on, hold on because because you're right, that's what
- 2:03:26Speaker 5: we're gonna do. I don't care anybody says, but we've
- 2:03:28Speaker 5: got Republicans on record. Trump and his people are saying no, no, no, no,
- 2:03:32Speaker 5: best maybe vans. They don't get any money. They don't
- 2:03:35Speaker 5: get any money unless they comply. I'm not sure that's true.
- 2:03:38Speaker 5: In fact, I don't think it is true. And what
- 2:03:39Speaker 5: does that mean if they comply, Mike, Mike, guess is
- 2:03:43Speaker 5: they get money right away.
- 2:03:45Speaker 16: They do get money right away. And by the way,
- 2:03:47Speaker 16: as far as I'm complying, who's who's gonna what weapons
- 2:03:51Speaker 16: of inspector's going in? There's gonna know if they comply,
- 2:03:53Speaker 16: then you ran him under the ground. You know, they're
- 2:03:55Speaker 16: never complying. They're gonna they're gonna talk to talk, walk
- 2:03:58Speaker 16: to walk and say that's like but they're never complying,
- 2:04:01Speaker 16: and they're gonna get that money. They're gonna get a
- 2:04:02Speaker 16: lot of money. So this is a home run for
- 2:04:04Speaker 16: them if they could get this deal. I mean, honestly,
- 2:04:07Speaker 16: if we should rewind them before we went and started
- 2:04:10Speaker 16: this war, we'd be in a better position. Clearly, we've
- 2:04:12Speaker 16: been in a better position the people of this country
- 2:04:14Speaker 16: with the prices of gas and food and all the
- 2:04:16Speaker 16: things that are really hurting us for the chance for
- 2:04:19Speaker 16: the midterm, because we're in the bad spot for that.
- 2:04:21Speaker 5: See, I would say this, I agree with you with
- 2:04:24Speaker 5: e Big Fury, and I loved that Big Fury that
- 2:04:26Speaker 5: Saturday morning. I've never been more proud of a president
- 2:04:29Speaker 5: than I was for President Trump. See, for me, Midnight
- 2:04:33Speaker 5: Hammer did enough because I do believe that we really
- 2:04:38Speaker 5: damaged their centrifugures, their nuclear capabilities. Midnight Hammer, that was amazing.
- 2:04:44Speaker 5: But Epic Fury, all we've done is caused more issues
- 2:04:49Speaker 5: than anything good.
- 2:04:51Speaker 16: Said Epic Hammer. We did what we needed to do.
- 2:04:55Speaker 16: We sent a message number one. We lost nobody, and
- 2:04:58Speaker 16: we did what we need to do. We're gonna mess
- 2:05:01Speaker 16: around with us. We're coming in there with our incredible
- 2:05:04Speaker 16: military might and we're going to take you down. And
- 2:05:07Speaker 16: we did that, and we no one argued that we
- 2:05:09Speaker 16: didn't obliterate, as President Trump said, their nuclear systems. Don't
- 2:05:13Speaker 16: argue that it was over. And then we started this
- 2:05:16Speaker 16: thing again and it's been nothing but bad. I mean, honestly,
- 2:05:18Speaker 16: we went in there without planning, said I'm telling you
- 2:05:20Speaker 16: as a military guy and someone who's in touch with
- 2:05:22Speaker 16: our leaders. We went in there without planet. We didn't
- 2:05:25Speaker 16: secure our bases and embassies. Those are destroyed based embassies.
- 2:05:29Speaker 16: We didn't secure it in the straight. Before you go
- 2:05:31Speaker 16: into a war with around every leader said you have
- 2:05:34Speaker 16: to secure the straight. We didn't do that. Okay, now
- 2:05:36Speaker 16: that straight. It's going to be a mess for our
- 2:05:38Speaker 16: lifetime for sure. So we didn't have a plan. We
- 2:05:40Speaker 16: didn't go in there. Well, our munitions are alone, no
- 2:05:43Speaker 16: matter what anyone says. You know, Pete takes us testified
- 2:05:46Speaker 16: to that in Congress on TV says something different, but
- 2:05:49Speaker 16: when he testified on the road, our munitions are though
- 2:05:51Speaker 16: we need money.
- 2:05:51Speaker 5: Wait, so let me stop you. So are you Joseph Takapina,
- 2:05:54Speaker 5: I love you like a brother and I actually trust you.
- 2:05:57Speaker 5: Don't believe you. Are you calling Pete Heggshat gutary of
- 2:06:00Speaker 5: war a liar.
- 2:06:03Speaker 16: I have a lot of things to say about Pete
- 2:06:04Speaker 16: Haysith said. Honestly, I think he's doing more damage than
- 2:06:08Speaker 16: than we to withstand. I think he's given the present
- 2:06:11Speaker 16: some real bad advice. And what he's done this week
- 2:06:13Speaker 16: to me across the line beyond any line he's ever crossed.
- 2:06:18Speaker 16: And what he did was removed our greatest warfighter. You know,
- 2:06:22Speaker 16: he has this thing and I know he has an issue,
- 2:06:25Speaker 16: a little bit of a vendetic in the army. You know,
- 2:06:27Speaker 16: he was a National Guardsman and it was sort of
- 2:06:29Speaker 16: not treated well, he thought.
- 2:06:30Speaker 15: And you know.
- 2:06:31Speaker 16: He's now in a position and I'm going to just
- 2:06:34Speaker 16: shoot straight with him where you know, first of all,
- 2:06:37Speaker 16: he's made some not good statements publicly, sayments that have
- 2:06:40Speaker 16: come back to haunt us. He removed certain elements of
- 2:06:44Speaker 16: our war fighting intelligence that's caused us to do things like,
- 2:06:49Speaker 16: you know, accidentally bomba school with children in it. So
- 2:06:51Speaker 16: Scott forbid. Iran out Obamba schools are one hundred and
- 2:06:54Speaker 16: seventy of our those school children in it this country.
- 2:06:56Speaker 16: Would you'd see a hornets net like a pit papers
- 2:06:59Speaker 16: would for the rest of our lives. We would annihilate
- 2:07:02Speaker 16: that country, you know. But what he did we lost
- 2:07:05Speaker 16: General Donnie. And you know how I feel about christ Donnie.
- 2:07:08Speaker 16: General Donney was a family to me. He is and
- 2:07:10Speaker 16: he isn't just another for star General Pete Hesset forced
- 2:07:13Speaker 16: out General Donnie after forcing out General Randy George, who
- 2:07:17Speaker 16: was an icon, the leader of the army, the chief staff.
- 2:07:20Speaker 5: Oh wait, I see, I knew about Randy George. I
- 2:07:22Speaker 5: didn't know he forced out Donnie one.
- 2:07:24Speaker 28: Was this just four days?
- 2:07:26Speaker 16: He said?
- 2:07:26Speaker 5: Oh my god, God.
- 2:07:28Speaker 16: He reduced his command from a four star command he's
- 2:07:30Speaker 16: a force star general to a three star command. And
- 2:07:32Speaker 16: then when Donnie agreed to go elsewhere, he blocked all
- 2:07:35Speaker 16: those attempts for CD General Donney to.
- 2:07:38Speaker 5: Go el what is he doing all this?
- 2:07:40Speaker 17: Is?
- 2:07:40Speaker 12: He?
- 2:07:40Speaker 5: Is he doing all this because he's paranoid? What's his problem?
- 2:07:44Speaker 16: He's clearly threatened by General Donney because General Donney is
- 2:07:48Speaker 16: almost like a Hollywood action figure warfighter. Okay, he also
- 2:07:53Speaker 16: has alliances with people like General Lenieve we put into
- 2:07:56Speaker 16: a position that I don't think he's qualified for. That
- 2:07:58Speaker 16: many people don't feel he was qualified for. That's his friend.
- 2:08:01Speaker 16: General Donnyue fired General in the ten years ago and
- 2:08:04Speaker 16: sort of General George. But here's what I have to say,
- 2:08:07Speaker 16: And you've got to give me a second just to
- 2:08:08Speaker 16: get this out, because your viewers need to understand the
- 2:08:10Speaker 16: gravity of this. General Donyu isn't simply another force in general.
- 2:08:14Speaker 16: He is the most decorated combat leader of our generation.
- 2:08:18Speaker 16: He was a ranger leader, he was the Delta Force commander.
- 2:08:21Speaker 16: He was commander of the eighty second airborm com commander
- 2:08:23Speaker 16: of the eighteenth Airborne Corps. He is NATO's senior land
- 2:08:27Speaker 16: commander in all of Europe. He's been deployed more than
- 2:08:30Speaker 16: twenty times, defends this country. Said in the most absolutely
- 2:08:33Speaker 16: most treacherous deployments, he destroyed single handling. Now, of course
- 2:08:38Speaker 16: he had his troops, but he was the one who
- 2:08:40Speaker 16: destroyed isis. He basically strengthened NATO against Russian aggression. The
- 2:08:46Speaker 16: Ukraine relied on General Donnie as much as were allowed
- 2:08:48Speaker 16: on anyone in their military, anyone, okay, And he's widely
- 2:08:52Speaker 16: considered was widely considered to be the chief of staff
- 2:08:54Speaker 16: of the Army, the future chief of staff of the Army.
- 2:08:57Speaker 16: When a leader like that has shown the door without
- 2:08:59Speaker 16: any pelling military reason. Every soldier in uniform notices and
- 2:09:04Speaker 16: that should concern the American public because I will tell
- 2:09:06Speaker 16: you this, until recently he was the next Chief of
- 2:09:09Speaker 16: Staff of the Army or even the chairman of the
- 2:09:11Speaker 16: Joint Hip Staff. And he's without a doubt the most
- 2:09:13Speaker 16: respected and most experienced senior leader the army has got.
- 2:09:18Speaker 16: He has. He's a front end conceptual thinker said, he's
- 2:09:21Speaker 16: an experienced leader. He's got a human touch, which in
- 2:09:24Speaker 16: the army, by the way, is very important. He inspires people.
- 2:09:27Speaker 16: I've seen him inspire people. It's like I want to
- 2:09:29Speaker 16: drop to my knees when I'm in front of this guy.
- 2:09:31Speaker 16: He gets the most from soldiers, and he's been there
- 2:09:34Speaker 16: and he's done it. And by the way, he's modest
- 2:09:36Speaker 16: about it. He's modest about it. He's the best soldier
- 2:09:38Speaker 16: in the army. Tary that doesn't come only for me.
- 2:09:41Speaker 16: Every retired general who's been in the last two days
- 2:09:43Speaker 16: been going crazy. They said he's the best soldier in
- 2:09:46Speaker 16: the army.
- 2:09:47Speaker 9: Teddy.
- 2:09:47Speaker 16: His reputation is as great as has been reported. And
- 2:09:50Speaker 16: you know, the two groups that are the most happy
- 2:09:52Speaker 16: right now, the two groups the Kremlin and every terrorist
- 2:09:56Speaker 16: organization in the world. Because the whut in fear feared
- 2:10:00Speaker 16: General done I had that from Russian intelligence. I mean,
- 2:10:03Speaker 16: there are people and that's known. He feared don You.
- 2:10:06Speaker 16: The terrorist organization bowed to him. He what he did
- 2:10:10Speaker 16: with some of these you know, Taliban guys is unbelievable.
- 2:10:13Speaker 16: I know the facts. I know that he basically threatened
- 2:10:17Speaker 16: them that if they moved a muscle, he would annihilate
- 2:10:20Speaker 16: that whole organization. They feared him. Who didn't feared him?
- 2:10:24Speaker 16: We lost him. So that is not a loss that
- 2:10:28Speaker 16: we could really withstand it, I'll tell you. And and
- 2:10:30Speaker 16: by the way, the people who really really support General
- 2:10:33Speaker 16: don You as an army person, you have William mccraven,
- 2:10:37Speaker 16: Admial mccraven, the guy who you know was Seal Team
- 2:10:40Speaker 16: six with the ban Laden hit. He said that Donnie
- 2:10:42Speaker 16: was the most brilliant officer he knows. You know. General Thomas,
- 2:10:47Speaker 16: special Operations commander, said he's a generational leader. Okay, General Cabali,
- 2:10:52Speaker 16: the is the best Shoals we've had, says General Doniu
- 2:10:55Speaker 16: is almost like a comic book hero, without a doubt,
- 2:10:57Speaker 16: the most experience warfighter we have in the US Army
- 2:11:00Speaker 16: and now he is gone.
- 2:11:01Speaker 5: He's gone.
- 2:11:02Speaker 16: I mean, he has more awards, he's decorated more than anyone.
- 2:11:05Speaker 16: He has five Bronze Stars, ree Legion of Metal Merit medals,
- 2:11:08Speaker 16: to Defense Superior Service Medals. I mean, every war we've
- 2:11:11Speaker 16: been in since nine to eleven, he's there and he's gone.
- 2:11:14Speaker 16: And it kills me because not only is he the
- 2:11:16Speaker 16: greatest leader we had, I know him personally. I've spent
- 2:11:19Speaker 16: a lot of time in Germany with him. He's one
- 2:11:20Speaker 16: of the greatest human beings I've ever met. He's intellectual,
- 2:11:23Speaker 16: yet these fears. As a family man, what he does
- 2:11:26Speaker 16: is I can't. I don't want to get to his
- 2:11:27Speaker 16: personal stuff. But this guy, what he's done for people
- 2:11:31Speaker 16: is my mother. And I was moved so much this week,
- 2:11:34Speaker 16: so upset said that, you know, I'd like to think
- 2:11:37Speaker 16: I don't really have a peers out anymore, but he
- 2:11:39Speaker 16: came there, and it's just it's disgusting to me because
- 2:11:42Speaker 16: he is someone who's done so much for this country
- 2:11:45Speaker 16: and was basically discarded by armor where he gave his
- 2:11:49Speaker 16: whole life from West Point on he gave his whole
- 2:11:53Speaker 16: and we're hurting right now. We're hurting, and the army
- 2:11:56Speaker 16: is hurting because everyone's saying, my god, DONNIU was kicked
- 2:11:59Speaker 16: out on you like he's like the modern nay general Patent. Okay,
- 2:12:03Speaker 16: and he's kicked out. So it's really shaking the army
- 2:12:06Speaker 16: right now. It's particularly a special force community from which
- 2:12:09Speaker 16: he held and it's it's struggling. Said, it really is,
- 2:12:12Speaker 16: and so Petex says, we have now twenty four. We're
- 2:12:14Speaker 16: up to twenty four senior leaders who have been shown
- 2:12:18Speaker 16: the door, you know, by pe Texas. Is that right?
- 2:12:20Speaker 5: Twenty four?
- 2:12:21Speaker 16: Yeah, twenty four. Brandy George when asking Tylers, why did
- 2:12:24Speaker 16: you fire Randy George? You don't give us a reason?
- 2:12:26Speaker 16: When did he do something? Was their cause? There's no
- 2:12:29Speaker 16: cause reason, There is no clause reason. He just did it.
- 2:12:32Speaker 16: That means you took the leader of the army in
- 2:12:35Speaker 16: the middle of a war and removed him. We had
- 2:12:38Speaker 16: no chief of staff of the army right now. Said okay,
- 2:12:40Speaker 16: it's like changing the engine of a plane mid flight.
- 2:12:45Speaker 16: It's what it's like the war.
- 2:12:47Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean then there's no reason. No, I'll tell
- 2:12:49Speaker 5: you what. You're never going to get this on Botch
- 2:12:51Speaker 5: News because they love Pete there still he was part
- 2:12:54Speaker 5: of that weekend crew. You're never going to get this
- 2:12:56Speaker 5: from the Trump administration. So this inflamation, which you just volunteer,
- 2:13:01Speaker 5: that's big stuff.
- 2:13:02Speaker 16: I'm not trying to you want to support the pleasent,
- 2:13:05Speaker 16: and I support our country, of course I'm not. I
- 2:13:08Speaker 16: take no joy in saying this, but I'm in with
- 2:13:10Speaker 16: those military gause. I hear them, I see them. I
- 2:13:13Speaker 16: know what's going on. It's really bad. It's really bad,
- 2:13:17Speaker 16: and and you know, it's just horrible to think that
- 2:13:21Speaker 16: one person has taken out personal than that is. The
- 2:13:24Speaker 16: military is the one place in the world. You know,
- 2:13:26Speaker 16: companies have nepotism, cronyism, favoritism. You know, you put your
- 2:13:30Speaker 16: buddy in a position great, you know I'll hire your son,
- 2:13:33Speaker 16: you hire mine. Whatever the military can't have. That the
- 2:13:36Speaker 16: military cannot have that. The military has to be by
- 2:13:38Speaker 16: merit only only. We just lost some of our greatest
- 2:13:41Speaker 16: Wildfire's generational talents that are irreplaceable, and I'm worried. I'm
- 2:13:45Speaker 16: really worried for where we go here.
- 2:13:47Speaker 5: That's see perfect way to end this show. Tacopina, an
- 2:13:50Speaker 5: amazing rapino, just said, man, I just learned a lot,
- 2:13:54Speaker 5: so did I. So did this audience. Thank you for
- 2:13:58Speaker 5: sharing all this because I gut and t you that
- 2:14:01Speaker 5: the majority of my audience, if not everybody, has no idea,
- 2:14:05Speaker 5: and maybe some Pete hegseat fans may want to think twice.
- 2:14:09Speaker 5: I don't know. I'm gonna call him walk the van
- 2:14:10Speaker 5: later too. But Joseph, that was an amazing, amazing appearance.
- 2:14:14Speaker 5: I love you, Thank you so much.
- 2:14:15Speaker 16: Brian Kilman, by the way, he said, I'm sorry, I
- 2:14:17Speaker 16: know we're ending this, but Brian Filmy will tell you
- 2:14:19Speaker 16: it's Brian Filmy spent a lot of time with General Donney,
- 2:14:21Speaker 16: and you love Brian. Brian's a fast news guy. He
- 2:14:23Speaker 16: has his fast news guy as I get right, Yep,
- 2:14:25Speaker 16: he is furious. He's furious and he has a right
- 2:14:28Speaker 16: to be. If you're speak to Brian.
- 2:14:29Speaker 5: I'm gonna call him. I'm gonna call him today. I'm
- 2:14:31Speaker 5: gonna call him today. I'm gonna call you.
- 2:14:33Speaker 16: Loves General Doni and he's spent time with him, because
- 2:14:36Speaker 16: if you spend time with General Donny, you love General
- 2:14:38Speaker 16: don You. He's a man that is just on a
- 2:14:40Speaker 16: different level and it really is like his family to me.
- 2:14:44Speaker 16: But I think he's the most impressive human being I've
- 2:14:46Speaker 16: ever met in my life.
- 2:14:47Speaker 5: Wow, that's saying a lot, because you know me or anything.
- 2:14:56Speaker 5: He's got five brians. I love you, Joe. That was great.
- 2:14:59Speaker 5: I'm gonna call today. I'm gonna call you back afterwards. Okay,
- 2:15:03Speaker 5: what an amazing appearance. Thank you, Joseph there. He is
- 2:15:05Speaker 5: the best defense attorney in the world, my dear friend
- 2:15:08Speaker 5: of forty eight years. But how about all that information
- 2:15:10Speaker 5: about the army. He knows his stuff. He's in Germany
- 2:15:13Speaker 5: every other week. He does on law at Harvard, believe
- 2:15:18Speaker 5: it or not. But on the military stuff, you know,
- 2:15:21Speaker 5: he's in You know when I share stuff with the audience,
- 2:15:24Speaker 5: and often I'll say, I'm not going to tell you
- 2:15:26Speaker 5: where I got that from, but somebody at the Pentagon
- 2:15:29Speaker 5: or I do that occasionally, I do do that. Takapen
- 2:15:32Speaker 5: is in there. He's at the Pentagon. He should and
- 2:15:35Speaker 5: he tells the truth. He tells the truth. A lot
- 2:15:38Speaker 5: of people are up Pete Heggsen's airs because Fox News
- 2:15:41Speaker 5: and Trump loves him. But on this show, you know,
- 2:15:45Speaker 5: John Katzmatitis always talks about w ABC is about the truth.
- 2:15:51Speaker 5: There's no show on this station that does that more
- 2:15:53Speaker 5: than us. No show comes close. There's a lot of
- 2:15:56Speaker 5: bias on this station. Trust me, I'm biased towards Trump.
- 2:16:00Speaker 5: But you're not gonna hear on this show we've won
- 2:16:02Speaker 5: the war. You're not gonna hear that. Pete Hegseth is
- 2:16:05Speaker 5: doing an amazing job. You're not gonna hear it. You're
- 2:16:08Speaker 5: not gonna hear that Mom Donnie is smart. You're not
- 2:16:10Speaker 5: gonna hear it. So really, if this station is all
- 2:16:13Speaker 5: about the truth, then we deserve another award today, which
- 2:16:19Speaker 5: we may get. I don't know. We'll take a break,
- 2:16:20Speaker 5: we'll come back still more to do.
- 2:16:23Speaker 2: Sid and Friends in the morning on the Red Apple
- 2:16:26Speaker 2: podcast network.
- 2:16:29Speaker 5: Right now, Mayor's scumbag and council speaker Julie Menin are
- 2:16:33Speaker 5: announcing their twenty twenty seven budget agreement. They're all clopping
- 2:16:37Speaker 5: all these lunatics with the city council who hate America,
- 2:16:41Speaker 5: hate the Jews, hate the cops, hate everybody. So there's Mom,
- 2:16:45Speaker 5: Donnie and Julie. I've warmed up on Julie. Not her fault.
- 2:16:48Speaker 5: She has to work around all these animals. She doesn't
- 2:16:50Speaker 5: like them, trust me, But look at this picture. I mean,
- 2:16:53Speaker 5: this is enough to make you want to kill yourself. No, Mom, Donnie,
- 2:16:59Speaker 5: who's just the most grotesque politician in the history of
- 2:17:03Speaker 5: our country menin who is a hostage at this point
- 2:17:07Speaker 5: this may as well be in ICE's hostage video. And
- 2:17:10Speaker 5: a bunch of these lunatics that we call the city council.
- 2:17:16Speaker 5: It looks like the twenty twenty six New York Mets.
- 2:17:21Speaker 5: Wally Bachman is now the manager of our Staten Island
- 2:17:25Speaker 5: Ferry Hawks. Second half of the season. About the start
- 2:17:29Speaker 5: could be big, could be a playoff run for Wally.
- 2:17:31Speaker 5: Will he be the next manager of the New York Mets.
- 2:17:34Speaker 5: We'll talk to my friend Wally Backman, Sid.
- 2:17:37Speaker 2: And friends in the morning on the Red Apple podcast network.
- 2:17:42Speaker 5: Here he is the manager of our Staten Island Ferry Hawks.
- 2:17:45Speaker 5: The all time met great. I love this guy, Wally Bachman, Wally,
- 2:17:49Speaker 5: good morning, coach, mister manager Hawaii.
- 2:17:52Speaker 12: I'm good, Shid already guys doing today?
- 2:17:54Speaker 5: Well great, It's great to have you. I want to
- 2:17:55Speaker 5: get to this team because you know, a couple of
- 2:17:58Speaker 5: years ago when Edgardo, another great New York Mets second basement,
- 2:18:02Speaker 5: just like you, he managed the team. He managed Brooklyn
- 2:18:06Speaker 5: as well, and he was able to have a good
- 2:18:08Speaker 5: second half and the team makes the playoffs even if
- 2:18:12Speaker 5: they had a not so great first half wins and losses,
- 2:18:15Speaker 5: but a great second half. Something tells me that what
- 2:18:18Speaker 5: you're looking at right now with this baseball team, Yes.
- 2:18:21Speaker 26: Yes, we definitely are, you know.
- 2:18:23Speaker 12: I mean, with John, our owner, giving me an opportunity
- 2:18:26Speaker 12: to come here, and also Gary a opportunity to give
- 2:18:29Speaker 12: me an opportunity to come here, I really believe we
- 2:18:32Speaker 12: could turn around.
- 2:18:32Speaker 15: You know.
- 2:18:33Speaker 12: It's it's been a tough go around the first eleven
- 2:18:36Speaker 12: games or whatever. We've won a couple of games where
- 2:18:39Speaker 12: we've actually made eleven changes already in player personnel, and
- 2:18:45Speaker 12: we're going to get rid of a few more. We're
- 2:18:47Speaker 12: bringing in some more quality players to come into the organization,
- 2:18:51Speaker 12: and I think that I'm seeing a change already, And
- 2:18:56Speaker 12: you know, the second half starts on the third. I'm
- 2:19:00Speaker 12: hoping and I believe that we're going to be right
- 2:19:03Speaker 12: where we need to be to where we can really
- 2:19:05Speaker 12: perform in the second half. So with the changes being made,
- 2:19:09Speaker 12: bringing in a couple more big league players, a couple
- 2:19:11Speaker 12: guys from Triple A, we have had to get rid
- 2:19:14Speaker 12: of some guys that they had brought in earlier that
- 2:19:17Speaker 12: were out of the NCAA's just too much for them.
- 2:19:20Speaker 12: So with the new guys coming in and the new
- 2:19:23Speaker 12: guys that we've already brought in, I think the rosters
- 2:19:27Speaker 12: is really starting to shape up. It's hard to do
- 2:19:30Speaker 12: it halfway through the season, but we've been fortunate enough
- 2:19:33Speaker 12: to bring in eleven different guys.
- 2:19:35Speaker 5: And you did say in all honesty during that price
- 2:19:38Speaker 5: confidence that you were going to make changes that in
- 2:19:41Speaker 5: a little time. You were there at that point, you
- 2:19:43Speaker 5: saw what had to be changed, and you talked specifically
- 2:19:45Speaker 5: Wally Beachman about the pitching staff, and that's when most
- 2:19:49Speaker 5: of the changes have been made. Yes, yes, it is.
- 2:19:52Speaker 12: You know, yesterday there was four releases. Three of them
- 2:19:55Speaker 12: are pitchers and one position players. So we've probably he
- 2:20:00Speaker 12: added seven pitchers since I've been here, with more to come.
- 2:20:03Speaker 12: I got a major league guy, Bernardo Flores, coming in
- 2:20:08Speaker 12: to meet us in Maryland on Friday. I brought another kid, Perez.
- 2:20:16Speaker 12: It's just going to meet us on the bus here
- 2:20:17Speaker 12: in about ten minutes to go with us. It's was very,
- 2:20:21Speaker 12: very good in Lexington. It was two and two with
- 2:20:24Speaker 12: four saves, but a quality arm. You know, we didn't
- 2:20:27Speaker 12: have anybody that was ninety three, ninety four, ninety five.
- 2:20:31Speaker 12: And you know, I try to tell the pitchers the
- 2:20:35Speaker 12: major league fastball right now is like ninety four point
- 2:20:37Speaker 12: three the average major league fastball, So if we don't
- 2:20:40Speaker 12: have that, you've got to be able to pitch. So
- 2:20:43Speaker 12: you know, we've looked for stronger arms, more powerful arms.
- 2:20:47Speaker 12: We've got a few, but again there's always a chance
- 2:20:51Speaker 12: of more additions, and you know, we're going to try
- 2:20:53Speaker 12: to make it right and do the right things here
- 2:20:56Speaker 12: to try to make this team really compete and be
- 2:20:58Speaker 12: able to win.
- 2:21:00Speaker 5: You know what you said at the right top of
- 2:21:01Speaker 5: the conversation, you really feel, because you don't p s bally, Okay,
- 2:21:04Speaker 5: that's not your style, you really feel in your heart
- 2:21:07Speaker 5: of hearts that this team can turn it around in
- 2:21:09Speaker 5: the second half.
- 2:21:11Speaker 12: I think they can. You know, the first half was
- 2:21:13Speaker 12: pretty ugly. But you know, it's a challenge, There's no
- 2:21:16Speaker 12: doubt it's a challenge that I'm up for the challenge.
- 2:21:18Speaker 12: And you know, I think with John, you know, the
- 2:21:21Speaker 12: owner and stuff, and he's let me do pretty much
- 2:21:23Speaker 12: what I want to do to try to bring this
- 2:21:25Speaker 12: team to a very high competitive level. You know Gary
- 2:21:28Speaker 12: wants it just as bad, and we all want it,
- 2:21:30Speaker 12: and I don't like to lose. I said that before
- 2:21:33Speaker 12: in an interview. In the end, whatever we have to
- 2:21:36Speaker 12: do to try to overcome this and and win more
- 2:21:39Speaker 12: baseball games and get ourselves in a position to where
- 2:21:42Speaker 12: we can make a run for the second half is
- 2:21:45Speaker 12: pretty important to me and my coaching staff and to
- 2:21:48Speaker 12: the players that are here now.
- 2:21:49Speaker 5: About three more minutes ago with the Met, great Wally Backman,
- 2:21:52Speaker 5: So I know you focus on Staten Island. You're that
- 2:21:55Speaker 5: type of guy, Wally. You're not gonna worry about other stuff.
- 2:21:58Speaker 5: You've got a job right now, which on with us
- 2:22:00Speaker 5: to win on Staten Island. But you're also not dead, okay,
- 2:22:04Speaker 5: And you saw the Mets fired Carlos Mendozo last week.
- 2:22:07Speaker 5: I know, much like your former teammate god rest Is Soul,
- 2:22:11Speaker 5: Gary Carter, you've had your design set on managing the
- 2:22:14Speaker 5: team that you won the World Series with forty years ago,
- 2:22:17Speaker 5: believe it or not, forty year anniversary this year, the
- 2:22:19Speaker 5: New York Mets. Now, I don't think come calling because
- 2:22:22Speaker 5: I don't think David Stearns would do it. I think
- 2:22:25Speaker 5: David Stearns likes to hire mushy people, not the best
- 2:22:28Speaker 5: out there what you are? Maybe I'm wrong, I don't know,
- 2:22:31Speaker 5: But are you hoping again? I know Staten Island's your
- 2:22:33Speaker 5: focus right now, but are you hoping in all honesty
- 2:22:37Speaker 5: that the New York Mets give you a call? And
- 2:22:38Speaker 5: if they don't, would you reach out to them?
- 2:22:41Speaker 12: No? I won't reach out to them. I you know,
- 2:22:44Speaker 12: again said my focus is on Staten Island right now.
- 2:22:47Speaker 12: You know I'm going to give Staten Island one hundred
- 2:22:49Speaker 12: percent or what of the knowledge that I have, and
- 2:22:52Speaker 12: you know, it would be nice to be reached out
- 2:22:54Speaker 12: to you, But right right now, I am more concerned
- 2:22:58Speaker 12: on trying to make is a competitive team, a playoff team,
- 2:23:02Speaker 12: and you know, go from there, see what happens throughout
- 2:23:04Speaker 12: the year, and just kind of go from there. I
- 2:23:06Speaker 12: know there's troubles in New York, but again, I really
- 2:23:10Speaker 12: want to put one hundred percent of my focus on
- 2:23:13Speaker 12: this team here on Staten Island and try to help
- 2:23:16Speaker 12: bring a championship to this city here.
- 2:23:19Speaker 2: That's my focus.
- 2:23:20Speaker 5: I believe you. But when you go on Craig Carton show,
- 2:23:23Speaker 5: just you know, he's one of my best friends on
- 2:23:25Speaker 5: the fan yesterday and he wants you and joe Ba Ningo,
- 2:23:29Speaker 5: another WUP band legend. He was on my show yesterday,
- 2:23:32Speaker 5: he wants you, I want you and a lot of
- 2:23:34Speaker 5: Met bands. I know you used to read the news, Wally,
- 2:23:37Speaker 5: a lot of Met bands. As soon as they fired
- 2:23:39Speaker 5: Carlos Mendoza, they started screaming, Wally Batman, how does that
- 2:23:43Speaker 5: make you feel?
- 2:23:45Speaker 17: Well?
- 2:23:45Speaker 12: That makes you feel good? I've heard it before, Nothing's
- 2:23:47Speaker 12: ever happened, but you know again, you know, I really said,
- 2:23:52Speaker 12: want to put all my focus on what I'm doing
- 2:23:54Speaker 12: right now here on Staten Island and try to get
- 2:23:57Speaker 12: these players out of the community a little bit, to
- 2:24:01Speaker 12: see the schools and you know, if it's book reading
- 2:24:04Speaker 12: things or whatever. I don't think they've ever done that,
- 2:24:06Speaker 12: But try to associate with the community, get closer to
- 2:24:10Speaker 12: the community, get more fans out here to our ballpark,
- 2:24:13Speaker 12: show them a better product on the field, and go
- 2:24:16Speaker 12: from there. You know, it's about winning, you know. The
- 2:24:19Speaker 12: Mets thing is a great thing. It's great. The fans.
- 2:24:22Speaker 12: I love New York. I've always loved New York. You know,
- 2:24:25Speaker 12: to me, they're the most knowledgeable fans in baseball. The
- 2:24:29Speaker 12: people in New York and I've always had a good
- 2:24:31Speaker 12: report with the reporters and the fans here in New York,
- 2:24:35Speaker 12: and so you know, what happens is going to happen.
- 2:24:37Speaker 12: But again, you know, I have to reiterate that my
- 2:24:40Speaker 12: main focus is to make this team better and try
- 2:24:43Speaker 12: to make it a championship caliber team.
- 2:24:45Speaker 5: Final thirty seconds And you have to admit, Wally, that
- 2:24:47Speaker 5: Bullpark out there right on the water on Staten Island,
- 2:24:50Speaker 5: how nice is that it's the most.
- 2:24:53Speaker 17: Beautiful park maybe in the minor leagues.
- 2:24:56Speaker 12: With the setting and things overlooking the city and things
- 2:24:58Speaker 12: like that ballpark is a beautiful ballpark. There's no doubt that,
- 2:25:03Speaker 12: you know, the fans that come out here, they're going
- 2:25:04Speaker 12: to enjoy theirselves. They've got a great background, the view
- 2:25:08Speaker 12: of the city and things, and the people here and
- 2:25:12Speaker 12: the work here from concessions all the way through. They're very,
- 2:25:16Speaker 12: very nice people and they really communicate good with the
- 2:25:19Speaker 12: community of people. So you know, it would just be
- 2:25:23Speaker 12: nice to get these people out, you know, and I'll
- 2:25:25Speaker 12: say it again, one of John's big things that he's
- 2:25:27Speaker 12: trying to do is get Valet parking to make it
- 2:25:30Speaker 12: easier for the fans, and you know, we had a
- 2:25:33Speaker 12: few valets the other day, and so hopefully that continues
- 2:25:36Speaker 12: to grow and it makes it easier for the fans
- 2:25:38Speaker 12: to be able to come out here and see some
- 2:25:41Speaker 12: exciting baseball.
- 2:25:43Speaker 5: Wally, we love you, we really do. We're very lucky
- 2:25:45Speaker 5: to have you with our family here at WABC and
- 2:25:47Speaker 5: the Yankees and the Saten Island Berry Hawks. Very very
- 2:25:50Speaker 5: lucky and we want nothing but success. My gut tells
- 2:25:54Speaker 5: me you and I will talk quite a bit over
- 2:25:55Speaker 5: the next couple of months as we start to rack
- 2:25:58Speaker 5: up wins and the great of Staten Island. Waldyback then,
