  Speaker 3: Congratulations especially to Sid Rosenberg on his induction to the
• 0:14
  Speaker 3: New York State Broadcasters Hall of Fame. I can't believe
• 0:18
  Speaker 3: he didn't make it years ago. Today, Sid forever joins

  Speaker 3: a roll call of some of the greatest legends in
• 0:25

  Speaker 3: Over many years, Sid has distinguished himself as one of

  Speaker 3: the most authentic and recognizable voices in American airwaves, and
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: he's built a smart, loyal, gigantic audience, and I happen.
• 0:43
  Speaker 5: To be one of those people in the audience, and.
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: I had for a long time, long before I became president.
• 0:49
  Speaker 6: Does it piss you off when people try to on Columbus?
• 0:54
  Speaker 7: Like Native Americans and stuff?
• 0:56
  Speaker 5: Christopher Columbus, right?
• 0:58
  Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah.
• 0:58
  Speaker 5: He was a degenerate. He had his problems.
• 1:01
  Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah.
• 1:02
  Speaker 5: He had his eccentricities.
• 1:03
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 1:04
  Speaker 5: He was Jewish. Did you know that?
• 1:06
  Speaker 7: It's actually fake.
• 1:08
  Speaker 5: No, no.
• 1:08
  Speaker 7: They try to say.
• 1:09
  Speaker 5: He's Jewish, but he's not. No, he had a voice.
• 1:11
  Speaker 5: Trust me. He had to drop his drawers to prove that.
• 1:14
  Speaker 5: He had a brisk.
• 1:14
  Speaker 10: Come on.
• 1:14
  Speaker 7: Some people just like that style.
• 1:15
  Speaker 5: You know, back then, that's how.
• 1:16
  Speaker 7: People like a hoodless style.
• 1:17
  Speaker 11: You know, why do you think he had to escape
• 1:19
  Speaker 11: Spain in 1492? He was doing it on behalf of.
• 1:22
  Speaker 12: When Queen Isabella and King Ferdinand launched the Inquisition on
• 1:26
  Speaker 12: your people and said either convert or die. And he
• 1:29
  Speaker 12: decided to leave with the Nina, the Pinta, the Santa,
• 1:32
  Speaker 12: and the Maria.
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:33
  Speaker 7: Well, there's three, actually.
• 1:34
  Speaker 5: The Santa Maria.
• 1:35
  Speaker 10: No, no, no.
• 1:35
  Speaker 5: No, no, you're wrong.
• 1:36
  Speaker 7: No, no, Santa Maria was the third one.
• 1:37
  Speaker 5: The Nina, the Pinta, the Santa, and the Maria.
• 1:39
  Speaker 7: The Nina, the Pinta, and the Santa Maria.
• 1:42
  Speaker 5: That's right. Four of the ships. Three of them made it.
• 1:44
  Speaker 13: Yeah.
• 1:45
  Speaker 5: As he went.
• 1:46
  Speaker 14: Oh, so he called one the Santa Maria after one lot.
• 1:49
  Speaker 7: You combine the names?
• 1:51
  Speaker 5: Excuse me?
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: Nothing.
• 1:54
  Speaker 8: Are you trying to instruct me on the hero of
• 1:56
  Speaker 8: my peeps, Christopher Columbus?
• 1:58
  Speaker 15: I thought you, so you're Jewish. No, he is Jewish.
• 2:01
  Speaker 16: President Trump is not expected to attend this year's 9-11
• 2:05
  Speaker 16: ceremonies at the September 11th memorial in lower Manhattan. Instead,
• 2:09
  Speaker 16: he's expected to commemorate the 25th anniversary at the Pentagon
• 2:14
  Speaker 16: where he'll deliver remarks. Vice President J.D. Vance will represent
• 2:18
  Speaker 16: the Trump administration in Lower Manhattan. Mayor Mamdani will also attend,
• 2:22
  Speaker 16: despite the wishes of select 9-11 family members who don't
• 2:26
  Speaker 16: want him there.
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: Jeanette Pick?
• 2:28
  Speaker 17: Dude, we don't want you there.
• 2:30
  Speaker 18: When I say we, I mean myself and the almost 90,000
• 2:34
  Speaker 18: people who have signed the Change.org petition. I don't know
• 2:38
  Speaker 18: how else we can say this to you. We've gone
• 2:41
  Speaker 18: to the media. We've, you know... had a petition started. Literally,
• 2:46
  Speaker 18: Scott Lobato put it in skywriting. I don't know how
• 2:49
  Speaker 18: much clearer we can tell you. We don't want you there. Like, dude,
• 2:52
  Speaker 18: I don't like what don't you get?
• 2:54
  Speaker 19: And if Jews in America keep putting this this idea
• 2:59
  Speaker 19: out there that they are singularly invested in Israel, eventually
• 3:03
  Speaker 19: someone's going to come around.
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: And take action.
• 3:06
  Speaker 20: Better watch out, Jews. If we don't all collectively annihilate ourselves,
• 3:11
  Speaker 20: this super tough anchor baby who looks like Rachel Maddow
• 3:15
  Speaker 20: if she took as much testosterone as he does says
• 3:19
  Speaker 20: someone else will do it for us.
• 3:22
  Speaker 19: Not against the state of Israel, mind you, but against
• 3:24
  Speaker 19: American Jews.
• 3:25
  Speaker 20: Assuming we're all still going to let ourselves be all
• 3:28
  Speaker 20: who walk barred at the demands of this game chair
• 3:31
  Speaker 20: edgelord and his traitors. Gucci purse. For someone who hates Jews,
• 3:40
  Speaker 20: this dweeb is more of a Jap than I am. Yeah,
• 3:43
  Speaker 20: so it's not that we're scared of him. It's that
• 3:46
  Speaker 20: everyone knows what would happen to someone who dares to say, hey,
• 3:51
  Speaker 20: American Muslims, if nearly half of you continue to get
• 3:55
  Speaker 20: off on the same barbarianism that Rolling Stone's favorite cover
• 3:59
  Speaker 20: boy cheerleads.
• 4:00
  Speaker 7: Doesn't matter.
• 4:01
  Speaker 19: Doesn't matter if f * * * ing rapes happen
• 4:03
  Speaker 19: on October 7th.
• 4:04
  Speaker 20: People might... Once you kicked out, it's because we already
• 4:09
  Speaker 20: know what would happen to anyone who draws a picture
• 4:12
  Speaker 20: of their profit. But preaching this.
• 4:16
  Speaker 5: America deserved 9-11. This.
• 4:18
  Speaker 19: If you cared about Medicare fraud or Medicaid fraud.
• 4:21
  Speaker 21: You would kill Rick Scott.
• 4:23
  Speaker 7: This. I wipe my ass with the Constitution.
• 4:25
  Speaker 17: And this.
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: I want to fucking kill him, dude.
• 4:28
  Speaker 20: We'll get the giddy beached whales of America's most biased
• 4:32
  Speaker 20: news sites giggling in agreement. as you casually preach about
• 4:36
  Speaker 20: hunting down infidels of the less-Islamo-communist alliance and their Western
• 4:42
  Speaker 20: propaganda arm.
• 4:43
  Speaker 22: Engels wrote about the concept of social murder, and Brian Thompson,
• 4:50
  Speaker 22: as the UnitedHealthcare CEO, was... engaging in a tremendous amount
• 4:55
  Speaker 22: of social murder.
• 4:57
  Speaker 20: It's that the elitist media will clean up after politicians
• 5:00
  Speaker 20: who use Hasan Piker as a kingpin until he's no
• 5:04
  Speaker 20: longer useful.
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: On the other hand, he has a whole lot of
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: followers and there's a lot of things that he's saying
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: that are making sense to a lot of people.
• 5:10
  Speaker 20: A lot of sense to those whose entire universe is
• 5:13
  Speaker 20: an echo chamber of the leftist media.
• 5:16
  Speaker 22: Mao Zedong is one of the great leaders of this world, okay?
• 5:25
  Speaker 21: Entire universe.
• 5:27
  Speaker 23: I think we've learned from President Trump that when he's
• 5:30
  Speaker 23: not happy with a partner or another country, he'll make
• 5:35
  Speaker 23: a move like this is what he's doing with Canada.
• 5:38
  Speaker 23: He signed an executive order now changing the name of
• 5:43
  Speaker 23: Lake Ontario to Lake America. Now, he can't unilaterally rename
• 5:50
  Speaker 23: Lake Ontario for Canada and the world. Lake Ontario is
• 5:54
  Speaker 23: a shared international body of water between New York and Ontario, Canada.
• 5:59
  Speaker 23: But what Trump can do is he can direct the U.S.
• 6:02
  Speaker 23: government to use Lake America now in federal maps and
• 6:05
  Speaker 23: documents and other official U.S.
• 6:09
  Speaker 9: Government references.
• 6:11
  Speaker 14: Though the U.S.
• 6:13
  Speaker 23: Geographic naming process, he can do it through that. But,
• 6:16
  Speaker 23: you know, you'll remember he did this also with the
• 6:18
  Speaker 23: Gulf of Mexico, renaming it to the Gulf of America.
• 6:22
  Speaker 23: He does it for political reasons, symbolic reasons. And when
• 6:26
  Speaker 23: he's not getting along with a country's leader, this is
• 6:30
  Speaker 23: usually what President Trump likes to do. So we're watching again.
• 6:35
  Speaker 23: We've got Karen Travers at the White House now. Karen,
• 6:39
  Speaker 23: we're not surprised. It's not the first time, you know,
• 6:41
  Speaker 23: the president has done something like this. He's just clearly
• 6:46
  Speaker 23: not happy with Canada right now, and he's making that
• 6:49
  Speaker 23: pretty clear.
• 6:50
  Speaker 24: He said that the tariffs that he had announced that
• 6:52
  Speaker 24: wouldn't go into effect until January 1st on Canadian autos
• 6:56
  Speaker 24: and auto parts, he insisted, it's something he still would
• 6:59
  Speaker 24: move forward with.
• 6:59
  Speaker 15: He said that we.
• 7:01
  Speaker 24: Don't want them to make cars for America. He said
• 7:03
  Speaker 24: Canada treats us very badly. The Canadian tariffs, of course,
• 7:07
  Speaker 24: they announced in retaliation. to the ones the president put
• 7:10
  Speaker 24: in place over the weekend. They don't go into effect
• 7:13
  Speaker 24: until September 8th. So, of course, there is a bit
• 7:16
  Speaker 24: of time, potentially, to see if there was a potential
• 7:20
  Speaker 24: for some conversations to restart. We had heard from the
• 7:22
  Speaker 24: vice president the other day that there were ongoing negotiations,
• 7:26
  Speaker 24: despite other officials here at the White House indicating that
• 7:29
  Speaker 24: the time for.
• 7:30
  Speaker 15: Talking was over.
• 7:31
  Speaker 24: But the president didn't say anything there that would indicate
• 7:35
  Speaker 24: he is in any mood to lift the tariffs. that
• 7:37
  Speaker 24: were put in place last weekend. And Kira, in fact,
• 7:40
  Speaker 24: what he was indicating is that there would be more
• 7:42
  Speaker 24: to come, as he had threatened earlier this week.
• 7:46
  Speaker 7: All right.
• 7:46
  Speaker 23: Well, this is clearly not the first step that he
• 7:50
  Speaker 23: is making toward Canada. There are still a number of
• 7:55
  Speaker 23: things to work out when it comes to the tariffs
• 7:59
  Speaker 23: and our relationship with one of our longtime allies.
• 8:02
  Speaker 14: And now apparently there's.
• 8:03
  Speaker 23: Going to be discussions at the EU, according to Prime
• 8:07
  Speaker 23: Minister Mark Carney. So this is not going away. This
• 8:11
  Speaker 23: is not settled by any means.
• 8:13
  Speaker 25: No.
• 8:14
  Speaker 14: Not at all.
• 8:14
  Speaker 24: And in fact, only seems likely to escalate.
• 8:17
  Speaker 26: At this point.
• 8:18
  Speaker 24: And, you know, like I said, the Canadian tariffs don't
• 8:21
  Speaker 24: go into effect just yet. Whether that was the Canadians
• 8:25
  Speaker 24: trying to hold out potential for some renegotiations, it's not clear.
• 8:30
  Speaker 24: But there is still some time for a potential off-ramp.
• 8:33
  Speaker 24: But I think when you heard from the president there, Kira,
• 8:36
  Speaker 24: right from the start, when he had his opening remarks,
• 8:38
  Speaker 24: the questions reporters were asking him, his very hard line
• 8:42
  Speaker 24: there on our neighbors to the north, he certainly doesn't
• 8:44
  Speaker 24: sound like somebody who is interested at this point in continuing,
• 8:48
  Speaker 24: restarting those negotiations.
• 8:51
  Speaker 25: He's Donald Trump's favorite radio announcer, right, being inducted into
• 8:54
  Speaker 25: the Radio Hall of Fame. You've got a good one
• 8:56
  Speaker 25: there in the morning with my cousin Sid. We're going
• 8:58
  Speaker 25: to be working in Vegas. We're going to be working
• 9:00
  Speaker 25: in Vegas, and we're going to have everybody from the
• 9:02
  Speaker 25: vice president is going to be there. The Speaker of
• 9:04
  Speaker 25: the House is going to be. We're going to do
• 9:05
  Speaker 25: an interview with him. I think we'll do that remote.
• 9:08
  Speaker 27: We'll get, I believe, Bibi Netanyahu. We'll get Ambassador Huckabee
• 9:13
  Speaker 27: by video. We'll have a number of fights. It's going
• 9:15
  Speaker 27: to be a day and a half event. It's going
• 9:17
  Speaker 27: to be rather compressed this year. But Sid's going to
• 9:19
  Speaker 27: be part of the show. And listen, he's been a
• 9:22
  Speaker 27: champion for the Jewish people. Big time.
• 9:23
  Speaker 13: It's really, I love it.
• 9:25
  Speaker 25: I'm proud of him.
• 9:25
  Speaker 17: Monday, it reads 100.
• 9:26
  Speaker 13: Lows anywhere between 75 and 84 degrees.
• 9:27
  Speaker 25: Chance of rain, 0%.
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: Hot in the city. 104, excuse me, 106 today. 104 today.
• 9:48
  Speaker 5: 101-100.
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: Do you have any idea? 93 right now, 93. Early
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: in the morning. It's about 3.15 a.m. Any idea, Noel?
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: what those numbers are referring to?
• 10:03
  Speaker 28: I would assume those are the temps in Las Vegas.
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: Very good, Norm Leighton of Light. How'd you know that?
• 10:08
  Speaker 28: It was a wild guess.
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: Why would I even be interested in that?
• 10:11
  Speaker 28: I have no idea.
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: Well, I'm going there today, doofus.
• 10:14
  Speaker 5: Oh, that's what it is, yeah.
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: I mean, you heard my first cousin Norm Coleman there.
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: He's Very proud of me and excited. It's a big one.
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: Norm was on this show a couple days ago. His
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: partner at the RJC, Matt Brooks, was on yesterday. It's official. J.D.
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: Vance will be there. I will get some alone time
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: with the Vice President of the United States on Monday.
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: But Mike Johnson will be there, too. The Speaker of
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: the House. Whole bunch of big-time congressmen. Senators. Hopefully senators-to-be
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: like Mike Rogers. He's going to run against Abdul El-Sayed
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: in Michigan. Randy Fine's going to be there. He may
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: join us today. And then you've got some entertainers, too,
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: some journalists, if you will. Scott Jennings is a great journalist.
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: He's on CNN all the time, and he's going to
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: be there. And he seems to be, I don't really
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: know who the rest of the possibilities even are, but
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: he seems to be, at least as of this morning, Noam,
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: the leader in the clubhouse, to replace Caroline Leavitt as
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: the next White House press secretary. Today, if you are
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: keeping score, happens to be Caroline Leavitt's last day. Isn't
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: that right now?
• 11:33
  Speaker 15: Yeah, that is it.
• 11:34
  Speaker 28: She's done.
• 11:35
  Speaker 13: Yeah.
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: So Scott Jennings, who again has become incredibly popular as
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: our lone voice on CNN, he's always fighting for us,
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: Republicans and Trump. You may remember When I had Andrew
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: Cuomo on this show, and I joked that if there
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: was a 9-11 and Mamdani was sitting there, he wouldn't
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: be horrified. He'd be cheering. Obviously, I was joking, okay?
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: But maybe I wasn't. I don't know. I don't care
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: at this point. I really don't. And Cuomo was all,
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: you know, he got all flustered. And then the media,
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: those bastards, they went out and they actually credited what
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: I said to Cuomo. in an effort to destroy the
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: former governor in his attempt to become mayor. This was
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: literally a couple of weeks before the election. Cuomo was gaining,
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: although he never really got all that close. He was
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: a good nine points behind and a lot of votes,
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: but certainly closer than Curtis. But he never really had
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: a chance. But either way, this was a couple of
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: weeks before, and they credited Cuomo with those comments, which
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: wasn't fair. Andrew Cuomo would say, hey, folks, I said that,
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: not Andrew. Oh, then when they realized that he didn't
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: say it, they changed the narrative to, well, he didn't
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: push back enough. Remember that, Noam?
• 13:00
  Speaker 28: I remember that very clearly.
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: They didn't know what to do. They just wanted to
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: find a way to pin that on Andrew Cuomo when
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: I was the one who said it. So Jennings goes
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: on CNN. I don't know if it was Abby Phillips
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: or I don't know who those people are. I got
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: to be honest. I have no idea who they are.
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: But they brought it up. Like, what do you think
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: about this guy on this radio station in New York
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: claiming that the mayor would be cheering during 9-11 rather
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: than horrified? And Scott Jennings, who again will join me
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: in about an hour, went out of his way to
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: defend me. Now, at that point, I had met Scott Jennings,
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: didn't know him. Now I've met him on a couple
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: of occasions. We've actually done a couple of dinners together.
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: We spoke together in Las Vegas last year at this
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: same exact event. And we spent a bunch of time
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: together in the green room because he actually came on
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: stage right before me. So we talked for a good
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: 20 minutes. Siggy Flicker was back there, Stella Escobedo, all
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: of us. So needless to say, I now have a
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: friendship with Scott Jennings, and I'll see him again this
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: weekend in Vegas. And again, he'll be on this program
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: this morning. He's a big deal. Trump loves him. And
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: here was Jennings on that CNN broadcast, I guess about
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: a year ago. This is Lewis, cut number five, defending me.
• 14:22
  Speaker 29: If you had a 9-11 scale event, would you want
• 14:25
  Speaker 29: somebody who can't prove that they can do.
• 14:27
  Speaker 26: Anything in the chair?
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: Legit.
• 14:28
  Speaker 26: Is it fair to say that he would cheer on 9-11?
• 14:33
  Speaker 29: He's taking pictures with unindicted co-conspirators from the World Trade Center, Bonnie.
• 14:36
  Speaker 26: But, I mean, are you willing to say that? You
• 14:38
  Speaker 26: really think that he would cheer on 9-11?
• 14:40
  Speaker 29: He's taking pictures with unindicted co-conspirators from the.
• 14:44
  Speaker 26: World Trade Center.
• 14:45
  Speaker 5: I mean, I'm just saying.
• 14:47
  Speaker 7: It wasn't FOMO.
• 14:48
  Speaker 15: It was the radio.
• 14:48
  Speaker 26: But I'm asking Scott because Scott seems to think that's
• 14:51
  Speaker 26: like a totally above-board line of attack. Do you think
• 14:56
  Speaker 26: that that's true?
• 14:58
  Speaker 29: I can only tell you what I see on my phone.
• 15:00
  Speaker 29: I see a picture of Mom Donnie. with a guy
• 15:03
  Speaker 29: who was an unindicted co-conspirator from a terrorist attack in
• 15:06
  Speaker 29: New York City.
• 15:07
  Speaker 15: Do you think that was a good.
• 15:08
  Speaker 7: Picture to take?
• 15:09
  Speaker 26: He is an unindicted co-conspirator in that case, but it's
• 15:13
  Speaker 26: just worth noting for context, in 2009, Bloomberg met with
• 15:17
  Speaker 26: that same imam. The last mayor who just endorsed Eric
• 15:22
  Speaker 26: Adams awarded him, apparently, an award fairly recently. So, I mean,
• 15:30
  Speaker 26: your criticism is taken, but I also think that's a
• 15:34
  Speaker 26: different point from saying somebody would cheer on a terror
• 15:37
  Speaker 26: attack that killed thousands of people.
• 15:38
  Speaker 30: But is this the time to be taking pictures with
• 15:40
  Speaker 30: this controversial imam? I mean, when people have such deep questions,
• 15:45
  Speaker 30: my Jewish family is petrified.
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: Geraldo Rivera actually stepping up. How about that, Noam? Geraldo
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: Rivera actually providing some defense for me as well. Scott
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: Jennings and Geraldo. So again, Scott will be joining us.
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: later on today. And talking about 9-11, we did find
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: out yesterday, we know that Mamdani's coming, despite our best attempts,
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: despite Giovanni Galante now acquiring more than 90,000 signatures on
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: this petition to keep the mayor away from that sacred
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: ground on 9-11. He's coming. He doesn't care. He's coming.
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: Turns out that President Trump is not Actually, J.D. Vance
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: will be in New York. President Trump will be at
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: the Pentagon site in Washington, D.C. So Mamdani's going to come.
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: It doesn't matter how the families feel. So in the
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: story that ABC News did last night, Channel 7 here
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: locally in New York, the lady's name is... Sade Baranwad,
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: is that.
• 16:50
  Speaker 7: Right, Noam?
• 16:51
  Speaker 28: Something like that, yeah.
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: So listen to the word that she uses, the exact
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: word that she uses to describe how many families don't
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: want Mamdani down at that site. Listen carefully. Lewis, this
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: is cut number two. Sade Baranwad, I guess, Channel 7, ABC.
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: Listen to the exact word she uses.
• 17:13
  Speaker 16: President Trump is not expected to attend this year's 9-11
• 17:17
  Speaker 16: ceremonies at the September 11th Memorial in Lower Manhattan. Instead,
• 17:22
  Speaker 16: he's expected to commemorate the 25th anniversary at the Pentagon
• 17:26
  Speaker 16: where he'll deliver remarks. Vice President J.D. Vance will represent
• 17:30
  Speaker 16: the Trump administration in Lower Manhattan. Mayor Mamdani will also
• 17:34
  Speaker 16: attend despite the wishes of select 9-11 family members who
• 17:38
  Speaker 16: don't want him there.
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: You hear that?
• 17:40
  Speaker 7: Select.
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: Now that was done on purpose. The truth is the
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: overwhelming majority of 9-11 families don't want him there. Not select.
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: Not a few. Not a couple. The majority of the
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: 9-11 families don't want the mayor anywhere near there. But
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: what does she do? She says select. So what do
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: I do? You know me, Noam. What do I do next?
• 18:06
  Speaker 28: You went to social media and you beat her up.
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: I did. I tweeted... One hour ago, at exactly 5.23 a.m.
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: this morning, hey, at Sade ABC, you seem like a
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: nice lady, but what was that bullshizzle last night about
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: a select number of families who don't want our America-hating
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: mayor at ground zero on 9-11? No, Sade, the majority
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: don't want him there, not a select number. Your network
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: should be embarrassed. Keep running cover for this creep.
• 18:43
  Speaker 28: Select sounds like five families.
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, like five. Yeah. Like five. A couple of families
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: don't want him there, but no big deal.
• 18:51
  Speaker 28: But everybody else does.
• 18:52
  Speaker 12: Yeah.
• 18:53
  Speaker 28: That's what it sounds like when you say select.
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: So when I got upset when I heard that, I
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: wasn't wrong, right? No.
• 18:59
  Speaker 28: Select, I think, seems like a small number of people.
• 19:02
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: Only a couple. No big deal. Take it easy. So
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: here's the next story that's attached this morning to 9-11
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: that'll make you even more angry. I know you know
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: this one, Noam. A Canadian broadcaster says you cannot use
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: these two words, terrorist attacks, to describe 9-11. It is
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: too politically and emotionally loaded to use without attribution in
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: its reporting. Here it is. The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation on
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: Thursday defended an internal memo directing its reporters and editors
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: to refrain from describing the September 11, 2001 attacks as, quote,
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: terrorist attacks, telling Fox News Digital the guidance reflected its
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: longstanding practice of attributing terms it considers politically and emotionally loaded. Quote,
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: it is the practice of the CBC to exercise extreme
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: caution before using the words terrorist and terrorism. This from
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: the CBC public affairs director, Carrie Kelly. She says, quote,
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: the memo was a reminder of the longstanding practice that
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: favors the use of these items with attribution in our reporting.
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: Goes on to say, do not refer to to the
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: September 11th attacks as terrorist attacks.
• 20:36
  Speaker 28: Oh my God, you can't make this stuff up.
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: She goes, the memo instead, get ready for this, the
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: memo instead described the events of September 11th as hijackings
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: that led to passenger jet crashes in Washington, D.C., Pennsylvania,
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: and Manhattan. It did say the World Trade Center was destroyed.
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: Here's where my good friend, the great New York City
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: councilwoman out of Queens, Vicky Palladino, jumps in. She says, quote,
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: the CBC guidance is frankly outrageous and insulting, but it
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: stands as a stark warning for what happens when you
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: allow institutions of public trust to be taken over by
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: leftists and foreign interests. This is not merely a callous
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: disregard for the memory of those who perished on 9-11.
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: It is a deliberate effort to undermine the fundamental truth
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: of what happened that day in direct service to Islamism,
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: as Europe, Canada, and the United States become increasingly overwhelmed
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: by Islamist politics. We must not tolerate it any longer.
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: We must dedicate ourselves to fighting this poison with every
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: tool we have available before it's too late. That's Vicky Palladino.
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: But do you believe that? Very well said by Vicky.
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: But do you believe that? That the Canadian Broadcasting Company
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: will not allow its journalists to refer to 9-11 as
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: a terrorist attack? Just a couple of planes got hijacked,
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: hit a couple of buildings, no big deal. Noam, I
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: know you covered that this morning, right?
• 22:17
  Speaker 31: Yeah, you know, I'm trying to figure out what they're
• 22:20
  Speaker 31: trying to do. Are they just trying to change the
• 22:22
  Speaker 31: whole narrative of the 9-11 attacks by addressing it in
• 22:25
  Speaker 31: a different way and like a bid to change the story?
• 22:28
  Speaker 28: Like, I don't get what's behind this.
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: Well, what's behind it is, again, like Vicky talked about this,
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: Islamist influence here in America. It's already all over Europe.
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: Europe is basically done and it's getting bigger and bigger.
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: here in America. So when people yell and scream, they're
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: not just crazy, paranoid Americans. They're not just Islamophobes, which
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: I've been described as a thousand times in about a
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: hundred different languages. They're not just that. They've got legitimate concerns.
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: And when they start to change what happened in our country,
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: and 3,000 people were murdered, murdered, In the most horrific
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: of fashion, many decided to jump out of 100-story windows
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: rather than be burned alive by jet fuel. And when
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: they change all that to protect Islamism, Muslims, whatever you
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: want to call it, I don't care, then you know
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: how serious this is. Then you know why I freaked
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: out from day one and have never taken my medal
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: off the pedal. about Mamdani. Because it seems like, although
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: they are very, very small in numbers, right? They don't
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: represent the whole Democrat Party just yet. They certainly don't
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: represent America just yet. They're still kind of small in numbers,
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: but it seems like the numbers don't matter. Their influence...
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: is much larger than their numbers. And this disgusting story
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: is a perfect example of that.
• 24:09
  Speaker 31: Yeah, I would go to the CBC and say, hey,
• 24:12
  Speaker 31: so what is a terror attack? If 9-11 is not
• 24:15
  Speaker 31: a terror attack, then what is?
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: That's a good question.
• 24:18
  Speaker 13: You're right.
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: I'm surprised they didn't ask this lady, Kelly, that they
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: should have, right? If this isn't a.
• 24:23
  Speaker 31: Terrorist attack, what exactly is? I mean, it's so outrageous
• 24:29
  Speaker 31: on so many levels, but it's a news organization.
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: Well, it's a lousy news organization. We know that. Yeah,
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: all they do is they're like MSNOW and CNN. All
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: they do is talk bad about Trump in America. That's
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: all they do. That's all they do. The CBC.
• 24:45
  Speaker 4: What would they call Pearl Harbor?
• 24:47
  Speaker 10: I mean.
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: A series of unfortunate events.
• 24:50
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: A couple of planes.
• 24:52
  Speaker 4: Planes found themselves over an area they shouldn't have been.
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: A couple of ships sunk. They just happened to sink.
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: It wasn't like they were sunk by enemy fire. They sunk.
• 25:03
  Speaker 31: You know what's unfortunate is they'll change their ways, and
• 25:07
  Speaker 31: I hope this never happens, but there'll be some terror
• 25:10
  Speaker 31: attack in Canada, and then they'll see what it's like,
• 25:13
  Speaker 31: and they'll change their ways.
• 25:14
  Speaker 28: They'll realize, oh, no, wait, this is a terror attack.
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: I mean, they just, right now there is so much
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: back and forth between us and them with, like, Ontario,
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: Lake America, all these tariffs. Mark Carney doesn't seem intimidated
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: by President Trump and nobody intimidates President Trump. So it's
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: gotten so nasty back and forth. But to take it
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: to this level, and I'm not sure that has anything
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: to do with what's going on right now between the
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: United States and Canada, but to take it to this
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: level seems like there may be some connection. I don't know.
• 25:48
  Speaker 13: What do you think, Noam?
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: I don't think so.
• 25:49
  Speaker 13: I think no.
• 25:50
  Speaker 31: When it comes to the tariffs, both sides will back
• 25:52
  Speaker 31: down and they'll come up with some sort of resolution.
• 25:54
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: But this 9-11 stuff is outrageous. Just outrageous. So let
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: me play for you one more time. This is for
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: Sade Baranwad, locally on Channel 7 ABC. I don't think
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: Jeanette Pick, whose father died in those buildings that day
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: he was murdered, I don't think she speaks for a
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: select group. few families. I think she speaks for the
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: majority of the families of the 9-11 victims murdered nearly
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: 25 years ago. She said this on this show about
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: a week ago, Lewis. Jeanette Pick, cut number three. Jeanette Pick?
• 26:33
  Speaker 9: Dude, we don't want you there.
• 26:36
  Speaker 18: When I say we, I mean myself and the almost 90,000
• 26:40
  Speaker 18: people who have signed the Change.org petition. I don't know
• 26:43
  Speaker 18: how else we can say this to you. We've, you know,
• 26:46
  Speaker 18: we've gone to the media. We've, you know, had a
• 26:50
  Speaker 18: petition started. Literally, Scott Lobato put it in skywriting.
• 26:54
  Speaker 17: I don't know how much clearer.
• 26:55
  Speaker 18: We can tell you. We don't want you there. Like, dude,
• 26:58
  Speaker 18: I don't, like, what don't you get?
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, pretty simple, right? Dude, we don't want you there.
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: I think it's great. Dude, we don't want you there.
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: But according to Channel 7 here in New York, A
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: select few.
• 27:12
  Speaker 28: Select.
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, just a couple of select. So the open started
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: with something that made me laugh hard this morning when
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: I heard it. This guy's name is Adam Friedland. Have
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: you heard of him? I have not. Me either. But
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: he looks like just a complete geek.
• 27:29
  Speaker 7: I don't know.
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: I don't even know how you even find these people.
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: I don't know. But this guy Friedland found Curtis Sliwa,
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: and they sat down for a conversation. And Curtis is Italian,
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: you know. And Mamdani has been very nasty to the Italians.
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: Flipped the Christopher Columbus statue, the middle finger. Left off
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: not one but two little Italy's off his enclave map immigration,
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: both downtown Manhattan and Arthur Avenue in the Bronx. We
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: know the story. All right, Mamdani doesn't like anybody, and
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: he has been particularly not nice outside the Jews to
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: the Italians. Okay? So Curtis... is on this show with
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: this guy named Adam Friedland, and Friedland brings up the
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: fact that Italians are not being treated very nicely, and
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: he says, well, doesn't that piss you off? And then
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: they go into this little history lesson about Christopher Columbus.
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: I know it was a long time ago. 1492 was
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: a long time ago, right? Holman Lewis, long time ago. 1492.
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: But they go into this history lesson, and Curtis... who's
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: a very smart guy, okay? I say things about Curtis
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: not great because it's true, and I say things about
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: Curtis that are nice because those are true, too. He's
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: a very smart guy. He knows his history. In fact,
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: I would argue that nobody knows more about the history
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: of New York than Curtis. So I know all you
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: listeners out there that love to go back to Curtis
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: and tell him what Sid said. You can tell him
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: I said that. Okay, smart guy, knows history. Maybe nobody
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: knows more about the history of New York than Curtis.
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: But clearly, he's lost on Columbus. What do you mean
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: there were four ships? What do you mean the Santa
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: and Maria were two different vessels? Have you ever heard
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: that before, Noam, ever?
• 29:26
  Speaker 8: I didn't.
• 29:26
  Speaker 28: I mean, unless I'm learning something I didn't know. I
• 29:28
  Speaker 28: never heard that before.
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: And Curtis gets angry. He said, you're going to tell
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: me about my people? Four ships set out. Only three
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: ships made it. And the Santa and Maria were different ships. Wait,
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: were they?
• 29:43
  Speaker 28: I mean, did I have it wrong all these years?
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: Well, again, because I do think Curtis is a very
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: smart guy. I thought the same thing. I'm like, oh,
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: I had it wrong. I was under the impression there
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: were three boats. Santa Maria was one boat. Okay, I
• 29:59
  Speaker 2: had it wrong. So I went and looked. Then no. No,
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: we don't have it wrong.
• 30:08
  Speaker 28: Just three.
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: Just three. So again, this is worth replaying. Curtis Sliwa
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: on the Adam Friedland show, literally rewriting history, rewriting Christopher
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: Columbus and that courageous voyage and finding America in 1492.
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: Here is the history according to Curtis.
• 30:31
  Speaker 6: Does it piss you off when people try to s
• 30:33
  Speaker 6: * * * on Columbus, like Native Americans and stuff?
• 30:38
  Speaker 5: Christopher Columbus, right?
• 30:39
  Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah.
• 30:40
  Speaker 5: He was a degenerate. He had his problems.
• 30:43
  Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah.
• 30:43
  Speaker 5: He had his eccentricities.
• 30:45
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 30:46
  Speaker 5: He was Jewish. Did you know that?
• 30:48
  Speaker 7: It's actually fake.
• 30:49
  Speaker 8: No, no.
• 30:50
  Speaker 7: They try to say he's Jewish, but he's not.
• 30:51
  Speaker 5: No, he had a bris. Trust me. He had to
• 30:54
  Speaker 5: drop his drawers to prove that. He had a brist.
• 30:56
  Speaker 11: Come on.
• 30:56
  Speaker 7: Some people just like that style.
• 30:57
  Speaker 5: You know, back then.
• 30:58
  Speaker 7: People like a hoodless style.
• 30:59
  Speaker 11: You know, why do you think he had to escape
• 31:01
  Speaker 11: Spain in 1492 when Queen Isabella and King Ferdinand launched
• 31:07
  Speaker 11: the Inquisition on your people and said either convert or die?
• 31:10
  Speaker 11: And he decided to leave with the Nina, the Pinta,
• 31:13
  Speaker 11: the Santa, and the Maria.
• 31:14
  Speaker 7: Well, there's three, actually, the Santa and the Maria.
• 31:17
  Speaker 5: No, no, you're wrong.
• 31:17
  Speaker 7: No, no, Santa Maria was the third one.
• 31:18
  Speaker 5: The Nina, the Pinta, the Santa, and the Maria.
• 31:21
  Speaker 7: The Nina, the Pinta, and the Santa Maria.
• 31:23
  Speaker 5: That's right. Four of the ships. Three of them made it. Yeah.
• 31:27
  Speaker 5: As he went.
• 31:28
  Speaker 14: Oh, so he called one the Santa Maria after one lot.
• 31:30
  Speaker 7: You combine the names?
• 31:33
  Speaker 5: Excuse me?
• 31:34
  Speaker 13: Nothing.
• 31:35
  Speaker 5: Are you trying to instruct me on the hero of
• 31:38
  Speaker 5: my peeps, Christopher Columbus?
• 31:40
  Speaker 15: I thought you were Jewish. No, he is Jewish.
• 31:45
  Speaker 7: Is he kidding?
• 31:46
  Speaker 4: He's kidding.
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: He's not kidding.
• 31:47
  Speaker 4: He's got to be kidding.
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: He's not kidding.
• 31:49
  Speaker 4: Three of them made it.
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: Three of them made it. There were four ships. And
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: the Santa and the Maria were two different ships. Two
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: different ships. No, no, no.
• 32:03
  Speaker 4: I'll tell you what. No, no, no, no.
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: Isn't that unbelievable?
• 32:08
  Speaker 4: It's hilarious.
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: You can't make it up.
• 32:14
  Speaker 4: The Santa and the Maria.
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: The Santa and the Maria were two different ships, ladies
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: and gentlemen. All right, what else is going on in
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: the world today? Nome, New York, around the world. What
• 32:23
  Speaker 2: do you got?
• 32:23
  Speaker 31: Well, all eyes continue to be on Nepal after that,
• 32:26
  Speaker 31: you know, catastrophic flash flooding.
• 32:29
  Speaker 28: On Wednesday, have you seen any of the videos of this?
• 32:31
  Speaker 16: I have.
• 32:31
  Speaker 28: Terrible.
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: It doesn't look real. It looks like a movie. You're right.
• 32:36
  Speaker 31: The walls of water are just gigantic. And unfortunately, among
• 32:39
  Speaker 31: the missing are a lot of Americans. There's a crew
• 32:41
  Speaker 31: of 10 people from Virginia. There's two local couples, one
• 32:45
  Speaker 31: from New Jersey, one from New York. They haven't been
• 32:48
  Speaker 31: able to get in.
• 32:49
  Speaker 28: Touch with them.
• 32:50
  Speaker 31: And so now the death toll at 475, more than 1,000 missing.
• 32:55
  Speaker 28: No doubt that death toll is going to climb higher.
• 32:57
  Speaker 31: They're hoping against hope as they get crews in there
• 32:59
  Speaker 31: that they'll find survivors, but so far they have not.
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: Wow. Yeah. Do we know how many people have actually died?
• 33:05
  Speaker 32: 475.
• 33:05
  Speaker 31: That's the latest total as of this morning.
• 33:08
  Speaker 3: 475.
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: That's terrible. That's probably the biggest story today in the world, right? Yeah.
• 33:13
  Speaker 31: Well, I think just because we have that video evidence
• 33:15
  Speaker 31: of it, and it's so intense to see just what
• 33:19
  Speaker 31: happened there, just seeing those walls of water knock everything down.
• 33:22
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 33:23
  Speaker 31: Otherwise, nothing's changed in Iran. I was going to go
• 33:27
  Speaker 31: do that story, but I realize there's not even.
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: A discussion going on. Same old, same old.
• 33:33
  Speaker 31: The triple murder trial of Lindsay Clancy is finally in
• 33:36
  Speaker 31: the jury's hands. That's the mom who strangled her three
• 33:40
  Speaker 31: young children to death in 2023. She has pled not
• 33:44
  Speaker 31: guilty to three counts of first-degree murder. And while the
• 33:49
  Speaker 31: prosecutors say they say the killings were premeditated, she has
• 33:52
  Speaker 31: said that she suffered a postpartum psychotic break. And so
• 33:57
  Speaker 31: we'll see what the jury does there. If the defense
• 34:00
  Speaker 31: was good at defending her, it's not clear. And then,
• 34:04
  Speaker 31: you know, there's all this. Did you see this court
• 34:06
  Speaker 31: case was finally settled with Facebook Meta?
• 34:10
  Speaker 28: Idea job so its 18.
• 34:12
  Speaker 31: Billion dollars the penalty they have to pay out 18
• 34:16
  Speaker 31: billion dollars almost every state's gonna get this huge sum
• 34:19
  Speaker 31: of money and they get to decide how to spend
• 34:22
  Speaker 31: it which is gonna be awfully interesting to watch I
• 34:24
  Speaker 31: mean this is the biggest case we've seen since big
• 34:27
  Speaker 31: tobacco loss all those decades ago there's not been a
• 34:30
  Speaker 31: case as big at that since and since this one
• 34:34
  Speaker 31: and so now we'll have to wait and see what
• 34:35
  Speaker 31: happens but all this money's gonna be handed out almost
• 34:38
  Speaker 31: 18 billion dollars And so the question is, how are
• 34:41
  Speaker 31: these states going to spend it? There's not any real
• 34:44
  Speaker 31: rules on about where they can spend this money. I mean,
• 34:46
  Speaker 31: they say they're going to spend it on helping the
• 34:48
  Speaker 31: mental health of teenagers. But you sort of see when
• 34:51
  Speaker 31: you see how much money it is, you say, OK,
• 34:53
  Speaker 31: what's going to go on now? And Meta has promised
• 34:55
  Speaker 31: that they're going to do all these things like limit
• 34:58
  Speaker 31: the amount of time kids can spend on Instagram. So
• 35:01
  Speaker 31: if you're under 18 years old, after two hours in
• 35:04
  Speaker 31: a 24 hour.
• 35:05
  Speaker 28: Period, you would be cut off.
• 35:07
  Speaker 13: Wow.
• 35:07
  Speaker 15: Yeah.
• 35:08
  Speaker 31: All of this because the teenagers, the case, which I
• 35:13
  Speaker 31: guess would have been proven, or at least Meta thought
• 35:14
  Speaker 31: that they would lose this case, is that teenagers are
• 35:17
  Speaker 31: suffering from mental health from being on these apps all
• 35:20
  Speaker 31: day long. The average is like four to five hours
• 35:22
  Speaker 31: a day for teenagers now. So the question is, how
• 35:25
  Speaker 31: will they do this? The smartest kids when it comes,
• 35:28
  Speaker 31: the smartest people when it comes to these apps are
• 35:30
  Speaker 31: the kids, right?
• 35:30
  Speaker 28: They know how to get around this.
• 35:32
  Speaker 31: So the question is, how will they roll this out
• 35:34
  Speaker 31: so they can really limit the screen time for kids?
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: We don't know.
• 35:38
  Speaker 28: But they're apparently going to do it in the next
• 35:39
  Speaker 28: couple of months. That is, these states get this huge
• 35:43
  Speaker 28: windfall of money. And it'll be interesting to see how
• 35:46
  Speaker 28: they spend it.
• 35:48
  Speaker 31: And then Mitch McConnell, who's been MIA for months on end,
• 35:53
  Speaker 31: now we're being told by his good friend, Congressman Andy Barr,
• 35:56
  Speaker 31: who's also from Kentucky, that he'll be back in Congress
• 36:00
  Speaker 31: come October.
• 36:02
  Speaker 2: Oh, he will?
• 36:03
  Speaker 33: Yeah.
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: But he's been very, very sick, has he not?
• 36:05
  Speaker 31: Yeah, well, he apparently had this fall. And he went
• 36:08
  Speaker 31: into a rehab center and now he's recovering at home.
• 36:11
  Speaker 31: But we've heard nothing, nothing from him except that one
• 36:14
  Speaker 31: photo of him and his wife in the hospital bed.
• 36:18
  Speaker 31: His people by his side who work in his Senate
• 36:20
  Speaker 31: office have said nothing. But now Andy Barr, who's a
• 36:24
  Speaker 31: good friend, who, by the way, said he hasn't seen
• 36:26
  Speaker 31: him either, but has heard positive reports on McConnell. And
• 36:30
  Speaker 31: McConnell has told him that he's going to be back
• 36:32
  Speaker 31: in the Senate sometime in late September, early October.
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: He sucks anyway. God bless him. Uh, he's killing us. Yeah.
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: I go back to the, uh, the first time with
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell. He wasn't very good to
• 36:44
  Speaker 2: Trump and us. So, I wish him well, but I'm
• 36:47
  Speaker 2: not a big fan anyway. All right, big, big show
• 36:50
  Speaker 2: coming up today. Norm Layden has always a tremendous job.

  Speaker 34: back Josh Jacobs. He's in trouble as well charged yesterday

  Speaker 34: with misdemeanor battery and misdemeanor criminal damage to property.
• 39:13
  Speaker 21: According to Wisconsin court records, former.

• 39:28
  Speaker 34: both of them or nine months in prison or both

  Speaker 34: of trouble here, Jacobs. The NFL doing their own investigation.
• 39:37
  Speaker 34: They're conducting that as we speak, and suspension could be
• 39:40
  Speaker 34: around the corner for the Packers. Running back is a
• 39:42
  Speaker 34: big part of that offense. So if you're Josh Jacobs'
• 39:45

• 40:00
  Speaker 1: Morning on the Red Apple Podcast Network.
• 40:05
  Speaker 2: On that big day coming up, October the 22nd, at
• 40:08
  Speaker 2: the Rainbow Room, Rockefeller Center, when I'm inducted into the
• 40:12
  Speaker 2: New York State Broadcasters Hall of Fame. Just so happens
• 40:16
  Speaker 2: that Rosanna is going in with me. She's one of
• 40:19
  Speaker 2: the seven people that will make it into the hall
• 40:22
  Speaker 2: that day. And we've been friendly for many, many, many years.
• 40:27
  Speaker 2: And I told you the story that when her father
• 40:30
  Speaker 2: was deathly ill years ago, I actually called Rosanna. She
• 40:35
  Speaker 2: was in the Hamptons. And I said, I'm going to
• 40:37
  Speaker 2: go to St. Patrick's Cathedral today and make a prayer
• 40:40
  Speaker 2: for your father. And I did it. He did pass.
• 40:42
  Speaker 2: He was a wonderful guy, wonderful guy. But we found
• 40:45
  Speaker 2: out a couple of days ago now that her mom
• 40:47
  Speaker 2: has also passed, which is terrible. I got a text
• 40:51
  Speaker 2: last night from Rosanna's daughter, Jenna. Sweet girl. Met her
• 40:55
  Speaker 2: a bunch of times. Very sweet. And I guess, I'm
• 40:58
  Speaker 2: not sure if this is open to the public. My
• 41:00
  Speaker 2: guess is it is. I've asked. They haven't gotten back
• 41:02
  Speaker 2: to me. They're going to have a celebration of Marion
• 41:06
  Speaker 2: Scotto's life. Rosanna Scotto's mom, Marion, God bless her. And

  Speaker 2: it all comes your way this Wednesday. Well, next Wednesday,

  Speaker 2: we've got about five or six amazing guests stopping by.
• 41:51
  Speaker 2: Big names coming up this hour with Scott Jennings from
• 41:55
  Speaker 2: CNN on his way to Vegas, in which Larry, take
• 41:58
  Speaker 2: a quick break. When we get back, he is the
• 42:00
  Speaker 2: editor of the National Review.
• 42:02
  Speaker 10: Sid and Friends in the Morning on the Red Apple
• 42:06
  Speaker 10: Podcast Network.
• 42:08
  Speaker 2: Rich Lowry is the editor of the National Review. He's
• 42:12
  Speaker 2: on this show every week because he's great. He's brilliant
• 42:14
  Speaker 2: and he's my friend. I love him. Rich, good morning, buddy.
• 42:17
  Speaker 2: How are you?
• 42:18
  Speaker 35: Good, Sidney.
• 42:18
  Speaker 8: How are you?
• 42:19
  Speaker 2: I'm doing great. We find out yesterday, Rich, that Mom Donnie,
• 42:23
  Speaker 2: of course, is still adamant about going to the 9-11 ceremonies.
• 42:27
  Speaker 2: And despite the fact that, you know, the local channel
• 42:30
  Speaker 2: 7 News goes crazy. A select group don't want him there.
• 42:34
  Speaker 2: No dummies. The majority don't want him there. But he's going.
• 42:37
  Speaker 2: We know he's going. But Trump is not. Trump is
• 42:39
  Speaker 2: going to the Pentagon.
• 42:41
  Speaker 5: J.D.
• 42:41
  Speaker 2: Vance is coming to New York. Last time Trump was here,
• 42:44
  Speaker 2: I guess, was 2024 when he was campaigning. What are
• 42:49
  Speaker 2: your thoughts on who's coming and who's not?
• 42:53
  Speaker 35: Well, I think it'd be great if the president were there,
• 42:55
  Speaker 35: but the Pentagon was a serious attack as well. Momdami
• 42:58
  Speaker 35: shouldn't be there, but as we've discussed for weeks now,
• 43:00
  Speaker 35: he's going to be there. It would be the graceful
• 43:03
  Speaker 35: thing just to bow out, but he's not going to
• 43:05
  Speaker 35: do that. So there we are.
• 43:07
  Speaker 2: He's not going to do it. There's no chance, right?
• 43:10
  Speaker 27: No, zero.
• 43:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, zero chance.
• 43:13
  Speaker 35: It would be a concession to his critics. I'm sure
• 43:15
  Speaker 35: they'd see it as though he is admitting something that
• 43:18
  Speaker 35: he doesn't want to admit.
• 43:19
  Speaker 2: Right, right, right, right, right. You know, it's interesting. This
• 43:23
  Speaker 2: Hassan Piker, who is a guy that said America deserved
• 43:27
  Speaker 2: 9-11 and Mamdani sat there and offered no pushback. Zero.
• 43:30
  Speaker 2: He was a guest on the podcast. Piker said it.
• 43:33
  Speaker 2: Piker has since apologized for that, but who cares? That's
• 43:36
  Speaker 2: how he really feels. You know that. But there seems
• 43:39
  Speaker 2: to be this fracture going on now, Rich, in this
• 43:41
  Speaker 2: Democrat party. Abdul El-Sayed out in Michigan, who was another
• 43:45
  Speaker 2: DSA guy, no matter what he says, he's a DSA guy.
• 43:49
  Speaker 2: He's like, no, no, I'm not with Piker. So there
• 43:51
  Speaker 2: are some of these Democrats now that are distancing themselves
• 43:56
  Speaker 2: from Hassan Piker. To me, he's still the face of
• 43:59
  Speaker 2: the left, which includes everybody from Chuck Schumer to Chevalier.
• 44:03
  Speaker 2: But there are some that are saying, no, thanks.
• 44:08
  Speaker 35: Yeah, clearly kind of a memo went out after this
• 44:11
  Speaker 35: last statement saying that all of American Jews got to
• 44:14
  Speaker 35: watch out and watch for their safety if they say
• 44:18
  Speaker 35: they're with Israel. So El-Sayed isn't playing this game, kind
• 44:22
  Speaker 35: of dancing around. He issued a statement distancing himself from
• 44:25
  Speaker 35: that statement without naming Piker. And he keeps on acting
• 44:30
  Speaker 35: as though he never met Piker. The race shouldn't be
• 44:33
  Speaker 35: about Piker. He repeatedly campaigned with him, including saying, On
• 44:37
  Speaker 35: the last night, on election night, he was with Hassan Piker.
• 44:40
  Speaker 35: So clearly they have a huge overlap of views. Now,
• 44:43
  Speaker 35: I don't think that's true of Chuck Schumer, even though
• 44:46
  Speaker 35: I have no use for Chuck Schumer. But clearly Piker
• 44:48
  Speaker 35: is the media embodiment, new media embodiment of the DSA,
• 44:54
  Speaker 35: deeply illiberal, viciously anti-Zionist, and basically in favor of political violence.
• 45:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, basically. So I was talking to Brian Kilmeade the
• 45:02
  Speaker 2: other day, too, about the, you know, the presidential in 2028.
• 45:05
  Speaker 2: I know we're all stuck on the midterms right now,
• 45:08
  Speaker 2: which we need to be. That's where the focus needs
• 45:11
  Speaker 2: to be. November, a couple of months this year. That's
• 45:14
  Speaker 2: why we've got this big midterm convention coming up in Dallas,
• 45:17
  Speaker 2: which I'll be at first time ever they're doing that.
• 45:20
  Speaker 2: And that's part of the reason why I'm going to Vegas,
• 45:22
  Speaker 2: to also talk about the midterms. So we know the midterms,
• 45:24
  Speaker 2: that's the focus right now. But Don't kid yourself. A
• 45:28
  Speaker 2: lot of folks are looking towards 2028 when it really
• 45:32
  Speaker 2: is all over for President Trump. And it seems like
• 45:35
  Speaker 2: Rich Lowry, J.D. Vance will be the anointed one. He'll
• 45:39
  Speaker 2: be the one. But people say you don't know. You know,
• 45:42
  Speaker 2: the numbers are coming back and they're not very good
• 45:45
  Speaker 2: for Vance. Maybe he bows out. Maybe at that point,
• 45:47
  Speaker 2: Marco Rubio decides to jump in because I guess the.
• 45:52
  Speaker 2: The consensus is that Rubio and Vance are buddies, and
• 45:55
  Speaker 2: if Trump wants Vance to do it, that Rubio won't
• 45:57
  Speaker 2: do it. You hear other names like Ron DeSantis and
• 46:01
  Speaker 2: Glenn Youngkin pops up there, too, and Hawley out of Missouri.
• 46:05
  Speaker 2: But what are your thoughts on what we may see
• 46:08
  Speaker 2: in 2028?
• 46:08
  Speaker 35: So continue to expect. And you're right, this is going
• 46:12
  Speaker 35: to start immediately. It's like three months away. Right after midterms,
• 46:16
  Speaker 35: this will really begin in earnest. I think there's no
• 46:20
  Speaker 35: way J.D. Vance doesn't run. And I think it's very
• 46:23
  Speaker 35: likely he gets the nomination. But even coronations are competitive.
• 46:27
  Speaker 35: Hillary is supposed to be coronated in 2016, but Sanders
• 46:30
  Speaker 35: gave her a serious challenge. Going way back, Al Gore
• 46:33
  Speaker 35: was basically coronated in 2000, but Bill Bradley gave him
• 46:36
  Speaker 35: a race initially. So I expect it will be competitive.
• 46:38
  Speaker 35: I doubt Rubio will run. I think Ted Cruz will run.
• 46:41
  Speaker 35: Rand Paul will run. Maybe Youngkin will run. Maybe Brian Kemp,
• 46:46
  Speaker 35: the former governor of Georgia, runs and a couple others.
• 46:50
  Speaker 35: But I think it's going to be hard. If Vance
• 46:53
  Speaker 35: has Trump's explicit or even implicit support, I think it's
• 46:57
  Speaker 35: going to be hard. You know, we saw down in
• 46:59
  Speaker 35: South Carolina, he basically created Darlene Graham out of nothing
• 47:02
  Speaker 35: and got her over the finish line. So his support
• 47:07
  Speaker 35: is going to be hugely important in 28 for a
• 47:09
  Speaker 35: Republican nominee.
• 47:10
  Speaker 2: He's been huge. Almost all of his candidates win, all
• 47:13
  Speaker 2: of them. And the guys that go against him, Cassidy, Massey,
• 47:16
  Speaker 2: they get murdered. So clearly Trump... You never hear of
• 47:18
  Speaker 2: them again. Right. I mean, clearly Trump still has a massive,
• 47:23
  Speaker 2: I mean, massive amount of power. What's interesting to see
• 47:26
  Speaker 2: Ted Cruz come out this week, and he's like, I
• 47:28
  Speaker 2: want to be president. That's it. Yes. I want to
• 47:31
  Speaker 2: be president. And guess what? I'm ready. Guess who's not? J.D.
• 47:35
  Speaker 9: Vance.
• 47:35
  Speaker 2: He actually said he's not ready. How about that?
• 47:39
  Speaker 35: Yeah. So Cruz is just telling people what... what he's
• 47:43
  Speaker 35: saying publicly, what he's told everyone privately every day of
• 47:47
  Speaker 35: his adult life. He wants to be president of the
• 47:49
  Speaker 35: United States. He's going to run. He really, if you
• 47:52
  Speaker 35: want someone who hates the trend on the right in
• 47:55
  Speaker 35: terms of the anti-Semitism and or anti-Zionism as much as
• 47:58
  Speaker 35: you do, it's Ted Cruz. I mean, he's extremely sincere
• 48:01
  Speaker 35: about it, a really brilliant guy, but it's going to
• 48:05
  Speaker 35: be an uphill battle.
• 48:07
  Speaker 2: I think you're right. So I keep asking, like I
• 48:08
  Speaker 2: did throughout the whole election period, between Trump and Biden
• 48:13
  Speaker 2: and other races, what do you think is going to
• 48:16
  Speaker 2: happen with the midterms as we draw close? I'm going
• 48:18
  Speaker 2: to do this every single week, which, Larry, until we
• 48:21
  Speaker 2: get to November, what are you feeling today about the
• 48:24
  Speaker 2: House and the Senate?
• 48:26
  Speaker 35: Unfortunately, I think the House is a fairly easy proposition,
• 48:29
  Speaker 35: unless there's some shocker. I think Kim Jeffrey is going
• 48:32
  Speaker 35: to be Speaker of the House next year.
• 48:33
  Speaker 2: Oh, my God.
• 48:36
  Speaker 35: I hate to put it in such stark terms, but
• 48:37
  Speaker 35: I think the Senate is kind of 50-50. The most
• 48:40
  Speaker 35: important race is clearly Michigan in all sorts of ways,
• 48:42
  Speaker 35: because if Democrats lose that seat, it becomes really hard
• 48:46
  Speaker 35: to take the Senate, and it would be so important
• 48:48
  Speaker 35: politically to step on the head of the snake up there.
• 48:52
  Speaker 35: But all these red states that should be in the
• 48:55
  Speaker 35: bag are really close, and it's foreseeable Republicans could lose
• 48:59
  Speaker 35: a lot of them. Texas up in the air, Ohio, Iowa,
• 49:05
  Speaker 35: Nebraska is even close, Alaska, Dan Sullivan, I think is
• 49:08
  Speaker 35: a great senator, is behind there. So if Democrats are
• 49:12
  Speaker 35: taking the Senate, they're doing it through the red states.
• 49:15
  Speaker 35: In a normal year, you'd say there's no way it's
• 49:17
  Speaker 35: going to happen. I'd say it's about a 50-50 chance.
• 49:20
  Speaker 2: Jeez, that's not great news. You know, I was talking
• 49:23
  Speaker 2: to Charlie Gasparino the other day, and we were talking
• 49:26
  Speaker 2: about Iran, and this Canada thing. He said, it's got
• 49:29
  Speaker 2: to stop. It's not good. It's not good for us.
• 49:31
  Speaker 2: It's not good for Mark Carney in Canada. We're going
• 49:33
  Speaker 2: to get hurt here in states like Michigan. And Kilmeade
• 49:35
  Speaker 2: said the same thing, that this U.S.-Canada thing will hurt us.
• 49:40
  Speaker 2: in some of our own states, including states which manufacture cars, obviously.
• 49:44
  Speaker 2: But now it's gotten to a new level. Now Lake
• 49:47
  Speaker 2: Ontario is Lake America. So it doesn't seem like at
• 49:51
  Speaker 2: least Trump and Corny are willing to calm down anytime soon.
• 49:56
  Speaker 2: But most of the folks that I talk to, they
• 49:58
  Speaker 2: think this is silly and doesn't help anybody. I'm with them.
• 50:03
  Speaker 35: Canada may be annoying, and they may have bad practices,
• 50:07
  Speaker 35: trade practices on a couple things. There's no way it
• 50:09
  Speaker 35: can't be worked out reasonably. I just think the first
• 50:13
  Speaker 35: time Trump said he was going to make them the
• 50:14
  Speaker 35: 51st state, I thought it was kind of funny, and
• 50:16
  Speaker 35: then he never should have said it again. But instead,
• 50:18
  Speaker 35: he's pissed them off and disrespected and insulted and humiliated them.
• 50:23
  Speaker 35: Mark Carney probably wins up there in the election last year,
• 50:27
  Speaker 35: whatever it was, because of Trump. And so Trump kills
• 50:32
  Speaker 35: the conservative up there, and then he gets this guy
• 50:34
  Speaker 35: he's going to hate. And now he hates him, predictably,
• 50:37
  Speaker 35: and won this trade war that makes zero sense.
• 50:40
  Speaker 2: Ay-yi-yi, what a mess. Well, the good news is the
• 50:43
  Speaker 2: weekend's here, and Aaron George is coming back soon, Rich.
• 50:46
  Speaker 2: How about that?
• 50:47
  Speaker 35: Well, let's hope he gets to 100% really quickly. Because,
• 50:52
  Speaker 35: you know, if we have Judge, you could squint the
• 50:53
  Speaker 35: right way, and we're a World Series team. I don't
• 50:56
  Speaker 35: think we're a championship team, but the The American League
• 50:58
  Speaker 35: is so weak. But this team has been brutal to
• 51:02
  Speaker 35: watch at times. Last night was another one. Half our
• 51:06
  Speaker 35: game since the All-Star break, they scored one out of
• 51:09
  Speaker 35: four hits.
• 51:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I know. It's like two to one every night.
• 51:11
  Speaker 2: They scored eight two nights ago. It was like a
• 51:13
  Speaker 2: big party. But they can pitch like nobody. And I'm
• 51:16
  Speaker 2: with you. The American League is not very good. So
• 51:18
  Speaker 2: we'll see. The Dodgers are still damn good, obviously. There's
• 51:23
  Speaker 2: probably two or three teams inside the National League that
• 51:25
  Speaker 2: are the best teams in baseball. Brewers. Brewers, damn good.
• 51:28
  Speaker 2: Killed the Mets yesterday. Even the Phillies. They play much
• 51:31
  Speaker 2: better baseball, but I wouldn't count the Yankees out just yet.
• 51:34
  Speaker 2: Rich Lowry, as always, amazing job, brother. Have a great weekend.
• 51:37
  Speaker 2: You too. All right, the editor of the National Review
• 51:39
  Speaker 2: right there, my dear friend Rich Lowry. That wraps up
• 51:42
  Speaker 2: the 7 o'clock hour, officially the 6 o'clock hour, excuse me.
• 51:45
  Speaker 2: 7 o'clock hour, about to come your way with two
• 51:48
  Speaker 2: great guests. We will talk to KT McFarlane late in
• 51:52
  Speaker 2: the hour and CNN superstar and maybe, just maybe, the
• 51:56
  Speaker 2: next White House press secretary... Sid.
• 51:59
  Speaker 10: And Friends in the Morning on the Red Apple Podcast Network.
• 52:04
  Speaker 2: Is Monday September 1st? Is that right? I think so, right?
• 52:10
  Speaker 5: I think so.
• 52:11
  Speaker 2: What's today's date?
• 52:12
  Speaker 21: No, it's the 31st. You've got 31 days in this month.
• 52:16
  Speaker 2: So Tuesday, September 1st. Okay, right. That's the day that
• 52:19
  Speaker 2: I actually return from Vegas. Okay. Either way, man, August
• 52:24
  Speaker 2: is out the house.
• 52:25
  Speaker 21: Out the house. Summer's over.
• 52:27
  Speaker 13: That's it.
• 52:27
  Speaker 21: It's over.
• 52:28
  Speaker 2: You know, I was walking down the other night, walking
• 52:30
  Speaker 2: home from La Sorrentina, Louis, and walking down between 129
• 52:35
  Speaker 2: to my house, a couple of blocks, you know. And
• 52:40
  Speaker 2: I said to Gabriel a couple of nights ago, too,
• 52:42
  Speaker 2: this was not the night I was with you, Louis,
• 52:44
  Speaker 2: doing the same exact walk. I said, doesn't it seem
• 52:47
  Speaker 2: like yesterday we made this walk? And the streets to
• 52:53
  Speaker 2: the right, to the left, had snow piled like seven
• 52:57
  Speaker 2: feet high. We had ice glaciers at the beginning of
• 53:02
  Speaker 2: just about every block for a good, I don't know,
• 53:06
  Speaker 2: 20 blocks. Had to walk through the ice glacier, not
• 53:12
  Speaker 2: go too far to your right or your left or
• 53:14
  Speaker 2: you would slip on the snow. And then I distinctly
• 53:17
  Speaker 2: remember coming into the city, One Sunday afternoon, very treacherous,
• 53:23
  Speaker 2: NFL playoff football, car pulls up, snow is coming down
• 53:27
  Speaker 2: like three inches an hour. There's Gene and Lewis. And
• 53:32
  Speaker 2: we're going into the city because the next day, that Monday,
• 53:35
  Speaker 2: happened to be my 10-year anniversary at the station. So
• 53:40
  Speaker 2: we had to get in. We had to. We had
• 53:42
  Speaker 2: guests and people and Turned out to be an amazing
• 53:45
  Speaker 2: day and a great show. Trump came by. Everybody came by. Hannity, Levin,
• 53:49
  Speaker 2: all these amazing guests. We had a live in-studio audience.
• 53:53
  Speaker 2: My buddy Dr. John Patash was there and Caroline Schenkel
• 53:56
  Speaker 2: and many others. Lou and I stayed around the corner
• 54:00
  Speaker 2: at a hotel, had a great dinner. Sunday night, then
• 54:02
  Speaker 2: Monday night, we all had dinner. No one actually bought
• 54:05
  Speaker 2: dinner that night.
• 54:06
  Speaker 21: No, wasn't that Sunday night?
• 54:07
  Speaker 2: No, that was Monday.
• 54:08
  Speaker 21: Oh, that was Monday?
• 54:08
  Speaker 2: Sunday was the other game. We were watching the Patriots
• 54:11
  Speaker 2: and the Broncos, man, Lou.
• 54:12
  Speaker 4: That's right, that's right.
• 54:13
  Speaker 2: So I remember all of it very vividly because the
• 54:16
  Speaker 2: weather was horrible. I remember.
• 54:18
  Speaker 21: It was slushy. You were stepping in puddles. It was horrible.
• 54:21
  Speaker 4: We came down your block. And there was two walls
• 54:25
  Speaker 4: of snow on each.
• 54:26
  Speaker 5: Side of your block.
• 54:28
  Speaker 2: Literally walls.
• 54:29
  Speaker 4: You came down your steps holding all of your nice
• 54:33
  Speaker 4: shirts and jackets.
• 54:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and like a duffel bag.
• 54:36
  Speaker 4: Yeah, but you almost didn't have anything covering them.
• 54:39
  Speaker 3: No.
• 54:39
  Speaker 4: I said, where's your garment bag?
• 54:41
  Speaker 2: Where's your plastic garment bag?
• 54:42
  Speaker 7: It ripped.
• 54:43
  Speaker 4: I don't have it. It's coming down right through the
• 54:45
  Speaker 4: snow and walking. And I think Danielle was laughing.
• 54:48
  Speaker 7: At the time.
• 54:49
  Speaker 2: She was, no. She's like, what are you doing? I'm like,
• 54:51
  Speaker 2: I got to get into the city. I got to
• 54:52
  Speaker 2: go to work.
• 54:53
  Speaker 4: So insane.
• 54:54
  Speaker 2: I know. So here we are wrapping up August. Not
• 54:58
  Speaker 2: that that type of weather is coming back anytime soon,
• 55:02
  Speaker 2: but something tells me we are closer to that type
• 55:06
  Speaker 2: of weather than 95.
• 55:07
  Speaker 12: Yeah.
• 55:09
  Speaker 21: And by all accounts, it's going to be another long, treacherous,
• 55:12
  Speaker 21: snowy winter.
• 55:13
  Speaker 2: Who said this?
• 55:13
  Speaker 13: I don't know.
• 55:14
  Speaker 21: I made it up.
• 55:15
  Speaker 2: What accounts are these? Mine. By all accounts. I mean,
• 55:19
  Speaker 2: I know where I'm going later on today, the high temperature.
• 55:22
  Speaker 2: We started the program at 6 o'clock. We played Billy Idol.
• 55:26
  Speaker 2: Because we're going to go see Billy tomorrow night in Vegas.
• 55:29
  Speaker 2: Hot in the city. 107 degrees in Vegas today. It
• 55:34
  Speaker 2: cools down. To a very balmy 105 tomorrow.
• 55:38
  Speaker 5: Very balmy, yeah.
• 55:39
  Speaker 21: Get a good tan, though.
• 55:40
  Speaker 2: I remember the first time I was on the way
• 55:42
  Speaker 2: with Scott Kaplan to Arizona. We were going to Scottsdale.
• 55:47
  Speaker 2: And they told us, it's going to be hot, but
• 55:50
  Speaker 2: don't worry. It's dry heat. Not a lot of humidity.
• 55:54
  Speaker 2: You're going to be fine. And I was there walking around,
• 55:58
  Speaker 2: and I said to Scott, I said, how does anybody
• 56:00
  Speaker 2: live here? This is brutal. One of the biggest lies...
• 56:05
  Speaker 2: in the history of our country, is that dry heat
• 56:09
  Speaker 2: is not hot. I mean, 105 degrees is 105 degrees
• 56:15
  Speaker 2: no matter what. And I don't care because I love
• 56:18
  Speaker 2: the sun and I'll throw on a pair of shorts
• 56:21
  Speaker 2: and I'll even go to the gym a couple days
• 56:23
  Speaker 2: in Vegas and all that. But don't kid yourself. 105
• 56:26
  Speaker 2: is hot. And I just found out that Rich Lowry...
• 56:31
  Speaker 2: who was just on the show, did a great job. Editor,
• 56:33
  Speaker 2: National Review. He's going to Vegas, too.
• 56:36
  Speaker 12: Oh.
• 56:37
  Speaker 33: Yeah.
• 56:37
  Speaker 2: Rich Lowry.
• 56:39
  Speaker 21: He'll be at RJC?
• 56:40
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 56:41
  Speaker 2: Oh, cool.
• 56:41
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 56:42
  Speaker 2: So he's going, too. We got a big event. I'll
• 56:44
  Speaker 2: take a short break. When we get back, he's one
• 56:46
  Speaker 2: of the major superstars. in our business today. He really is.
• 56:51
  Speaker 2: And again, it looks like he may be the person
• 56:55
  Speaker 2: to replace Caroline Leavitt as the next White House press secretary.
• 57:00
  Speaker 2: My friend Scott Jennings makes his debut.
• 57:03
  Speaker 10: Sid and Friends in the Morning on the Red Apple
• 57:07
  Speaker 10: Podcast Network.
• 57:09
  Speaker 29: If you had a 9-11 scale event, would you want
• 57:12
  Speaker 29: somebody who can't prove that they can do anything in
• 57:15
  Speaker 29: the chair?
• 57:15
  Speaker 13: Legit.
• 57:15
  Speaker 26: Is it fair to say that he would cheer on 9-11?
• 57:20
  Speaker 29: He's taking pictures with unindicted co-conspirators from the World Trade
• 57:23
  Speaker 29: Center bombing.
• 57:24
  Speaker 26: Are you willing to say that? You really think that
• 57:26
  Speaker 26: he would cheer on 9-11?
• 57:27
  Speaker 29: He's taking pictures with unindicted co-conspirators.
• 57:30
  Speaker 26: From the World Trade Center bombing.
• 57:34
  Speaker 15: It wasn't FOMO, it was the radio.
• 57:35
  Speaker 26: But I'm asking Scott, because Scott seems to think that's
• 57:38
  Speaker 26: like a totally above board line of attack. Do you
• 57:43
  Speaker 26: think that that's true?
• 57:45
  Speaker 29: I can only tell you what I see on my phone.
• 57:48
  Speaker 29: I see a picture of Mamdani with a guy who
• 57:51
  Speaker 29: was an unindicted co-conspirator from a terrorist attack in New
• 57:53
  Speaker 29: York City.
• 57:54
  Speaker 33: Do you think that was a good picture to take?
• 57:56
  Speaker 26: Listen, he is an unindicted co-conspirator in that case, but
• 58:00
  Speaker 26: it's just worth noting for context. In 2009, Bloomberg met
• 58:04
  Speaker 26: with that same imam, the last mayor who just endorsed
• 58:09
  Speaker 26: Eric Adams. awarded him, apparently, an award fairly recently. So,
• 58:16
  Speaker 26: I mean, your criticism is taken, but I also think
• 58:20
  Speaker 26: that's a different point from saying somebody would cheer on
• 58:23
  Speaker 26: a terror attack that killed thousands of people.
• 58:25
  Speaker 30: But is this the time to be taking pictures with
• 58:27
  Speaker 30: this controversial.
• 58:28
  Speaker 2: Imam.
• 58:29
  Speaker 30: I mean, when people have such deep questions, my Jewish
• 58:33
  Speaker 30: family is petrified.
• 58:34
  Speaker 2: We'll be in Las Vegas together again coming up this weekend,
• 58:39
  Speaker 2: but he's making his debut on our number one rated
• 58:42
  Speaker 2: program here in New York City this morning, my friend
• 58:45
  Speaker 2: Scott Jennings. Scott, good morning, pal. How are you?
• 58:48
  Speaker 33: I'm doing great, and thank you for playing that clip.
• 58:51
  Speaker 33: I think it's important that we all remember this 25th
• 58:54
  Speaker 33: anniversary of 9-11 and You know, it's something we always
• 58:59
  Speaker 33: said never forget, but it certainly feels like a lot
• 59:02
  Speaker 33: of people did. And we've got to refocus this country
• 59:05
  Speaker 33: on the dangers that we face in this world. And
• 59:07
  Speaker 33: so I'm glad glad for you to be bringing attention
• 59:10
  Speaker 33: to it and know you're fighting for what's best for you,
• 59:13
  Speaker 33: New York and best for the West.
• 59:14
  Speaker 2: Oh, thank you, Scott. I decided after July 4th when
• 59:17
  Speaker 2: we turned 250 starting that Monday, July 6th. Every single
• 59:21
  Speaker 2: day I would do something on 9-11, and I have.
• 59:23
  Speaker 2: I've kept my promise. I brought Giovanni Galante on this show.
• 59:27
  Speaker 2: He's the Staten Island gentleman that started the petition. Now
• 59:30
  Speaker 2: over 90,000 strong to keep the mayor away on 9-11.
• 59:35
  Speaker 2: I brought on a guy a couple days ago named
• 59:37
  Speaker 2: Jack Joyce, who has reached out to President Trump to
• 59:40
  Speaker 2: make the World Trade Center a national monument. I brought
• 59:43
  Speaker 2: on many, many family members of the victims who were
• 59:47
  Speaker 2: killed that day.
• 59:48
  Speaker 13: So.
• 59:48
  Speaker 2: For me, I take it very, very seriously. I know
• 59:51
  Speaker 2: the president is going to be at the Pentagon that day.
• 59:54
  Speaker 2: I wish he was here. They will have J.D. Vance here.
• 59:56
  Speaker 2: But I am really upset that Mamdani, a guy who
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 2: is besties with Hasan Piker, is going to be at
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 2: that site that morning.
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 33: Yeah, he, you know, he's going to step into a
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 33: situation there where, you know, frankly, he's dug himself such
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 33: a deep hole. with people who lived through that day,
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 33: with people who have scars that they'll never recover from
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 33: from that day. And well, given his commentary on so
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 33: many other things, I really worry about how he might
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 33: portray the state of New York City 25 years after 9-11.
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 33: Remember during the campaign, he said the real trouble with
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 33: 9-11 was his was his aunt. You know, she didn't
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 33: feel great about riding the subway. I mean, it was,
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 33: I mean, that, that was the craziest, that was the craziest.
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 13: Sort of thing.
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 33: And, and, and it, it sort of reveals that he
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 33: doesn't get what the people of New York went through,
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 33: what they're still going through today. And, uh, which I
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 33: guess makes sense that he's not really from, from New
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 33: York and, uh, but it's a, it's a big, it's
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 33: a big day. It is a big anniversary of, And
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 33: we really need to refocus ourselves on the big picture here.
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 33: And that's that there are people that wish us harm.
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 33: They wish to harm them and they wish us harm now.
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 33: And we have to take the threat seriously.
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 2: That story about his aunt turned out to be a
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 2: total lie. She was never on the subway. It wasn't
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 2: even here. She was in a different country, Scott Jennings. So,
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 2: you know, that guy doesn't belong there when he uses,
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 2: uses 9-11. to put it in a nonsense story, to
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 2: lie about it, to go out there and tell everybody
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 2: about the fears of Islamophobia. He lied about his aunt.
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 2: That story never happened. And look at the CBC, Scott.
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 2: I mean, you're on CNN. That's difficult enough. Now you've
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 2: got the CBC. They're telling their journalists you cannot refer
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 2: to 9-11 as a terrorist act. They don't want the
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 2: words terrorist or terrorism being used. What they're saying is— get
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 2: ready for this— What they're saying is that a bunch
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 2: of planes just happened to crash into a couple of
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 2: buildings and the World Trade Center just happened to get destroyed.
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 2: They don't want the words terrorist attack or terrorism even used. Now,
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 2: how do you explain that?
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 33: Well, here's how I explain it. Because the progressive project
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 33: is to push socialism, communism, and radical Islamo-Marxism on the
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 33: United States of America. And the only way you can
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 33: achieve that is to erase people's memory, is to make
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 33: people forget the consequences of the kinds of people that
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 33: they're trying to promote right now. And so if anyone
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 33: remembers what happened on 9-11, if anybody remembers the truth,
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 33: which is that we were attacked by radical Islamic terrorists,
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 33: then they might want to do something about that today.
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 33: But if people are made to forget, if people are
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 33: made to remember these things in a different way, if
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 33: the past and our truth is erased, then... It gives
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 33: them a better chance to install their program and to
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 33: rip out America root and branch. And so I explain
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 33: it that it's the same thing with socialism. It's the
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 33: same thing with communism. They don't want anybody to know
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 33: that Chairman Mao killed 80 million people in China. They
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 33: just want to dress up like him and pretend like
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 33: everything's fine over there. They don't want people to know
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 33: the truth about what they're trying to install in the
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 33: United States of America. And so the way to get
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 33: rid of the truth is to get rid of it.
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 33: And that's exactly what that order sounds like to me.
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 2: Exactly right. And now you talk about the fears around
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 2: the country. Scott Jennings with people like Abdul El-Sayed running
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 2: in Michigan. He claims he's not DSA. I still call
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 2: him DSA. I don't care. He has, unlike Mamdani, he
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 2: has fears. actually distanced himself from Hassan Piker. Hardly makes
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 2: him a great guy or a great American, Scott, but
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 2: he has done that. And some members now of the
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 2: Democrat Party are doing that. But the party is such
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 2: a mess. Scott, I mean, I don't know what these
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 2: people say. I don't watch CNN except for Iran, okay?
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 2: What are they possibly saying? You've got lunatics, progressives, DSA, communists,
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 2: Jew haters, anti-Semites, and they're worried that President Trump might
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 2: change the name of a body of water? Are we serious?
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 25: Well, no, we're not.
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 33: We're not serious. And the party, the Democrats have been
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 33: totally overwhelmed and overtaken by these people. And El-Sayed, although
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 33: he tried to distance himself from Piker. Piker then made
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 33: a video and said, well, I don't really think he's
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 33: changing his position. He's just doing it to fool people
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 33: to win the election. And so, I mean, even he
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 33: knows it's a total joke. This is the plan, okay?
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 33: This is the plan.
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 9: Abdul El-Sayed is a socialist.
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 33: He believes in socialist ideas. He thinks the United States
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 33: of America is rotten at its core, and that would
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 33: justify ripping it out root and branch. That's what Piker believes.
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 33: And that's where the energy is in their party. And
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 33: they're electing people in primaries all over the country who
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 33: believe in these things. And if they get to Washington,
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 33: they intend to change our country as we know it.
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 33: We cannot permit it. We have to fight against it
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 33: because it puts every single one of us in danger.
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 2: Bottom line, every one of us in danger. What do
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 2: you think is going to happen, though? Because there's a
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 2: lot of folks, Scott, that say, hey, it's one thing
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 2: to win a primary. And some of these people did well.
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 2: Some did lose, thank God, like Francesca Hong, running for
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 2: governor in Wisconsin and some of those really crazy candidates
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 2: down in South Florida, Dan Bilzerian against Randy Fine and
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 2: that psycho that ran against Moskowitz. But some did win, right?
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 2: Angie Nixon won in the northern part of the state.
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 2: But most people feel like these people who won the
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 2: primaries are not going to win come Election Day in November.
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 2: What do you think?
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 33: Some of them are going to win. Some of them
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 33: are guaranteed to win because of the nature of their districts.
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 33: But to me, I look for what it tells me
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 33: about the larger... political forces and the tectonics in America.
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 33: You have a major American political party that has been
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 33: totally overwhelmed by this ideology. You know, Chuck Schumer, Hakeem Jeffries,
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 33: all these people, Pelosi, they don't matter anymore. The only
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 33: people who matter are these socialists who are now captain
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 33: of the ship. And look ahead to 2028. Who is
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 33: the leading candidate for president of the Democratic Party? It's
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 33: Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who just yesterday renewed her membership in the
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 33: Democratic Socialists of America Club. Oh, my God. And so
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 33: I guess I'm thinking less short term and more long
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 33: term about what this tells us about one of our
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 33: two parties. One of our two parties has been taken over.
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 33: by an ideology that fundamentally hates our country. And they
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 33: think our country is a force for evil in the world.
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 33: And they think, therefore, ripping it out and destroying it
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 33: and building something in its place is justified. That's what
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 33: they intend to do. Just read their platform. Everything about
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 33: it is about the destruction of the United States of America,
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 33: as we've known for 250 years. And that is the
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 33: stakes of this and the next election.
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 2: You know, talking about socialism, I enjoy you on Twitter too, Scott,
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 2: not just television. You tweeted this 21 hours ago, and
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 2: it goes like this. There is so much violence in
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 2: the socialist heart that they are, quote, deeply saddened when
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 2: an alleged meat cleaver wielding murderer passes away in jail.
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 2: And what you're talking about is that this mayor, Mamdani, actually,
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 2: actually talked about the sympathy and how sad he was
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 2: for the murderer, not the victims, not the people the
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 2: murderer killed. It's the same guy that went to visit prisoners,
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 2: as you know, in Rikers Island to watch soccer games.
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 2: How twisted are these people that they actually get sad
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 2: when the criminal dies and say nothing when good people die?
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 33: Yeah, this is this is the upside down logic that
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 33: it is society's fault that this person picked up a
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 33: meat cleaver and murdered some people. And so we have
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 33: to feel sad about that. The victim becomes but a
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 33: footnote in.
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 5: All of this.
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 33: I mean, Mamdani's larger criminal justice views are not really
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 33: in question. He wants to close Rikers. He wants to
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 33: abolish prisons. That's what the socialists want to do. They
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 33: don't want any prisons. Well, if you don't have any prisons,
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 33: where do you put the violent people? You put them
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 33: right back out on the streets. And so when a
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 33: violent criminal dies in prison and you say you're, quote,
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 33: deeply saddened and you have nothing to say for the victim,
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 33: that tells you, who do I really care about? When
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 33: he wakes up in the morning, who is he thinking about?
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 33: He's thinking about, well, how do I close the jails
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 33: and put the violent back out on the street? And
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 33: he has no regard for the victims that caused him
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 33: to go to jail in the first place or the
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 33: victims that would come after the completion of such a project.
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 33: And it's not just him. That's what these socialist candidates
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 33: believe across the country. Abolition of prisons and abolition of
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 33: police is a recipe for anarchy and a recipe to
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 33: destroy this country, and that's why they're for it.
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 2: You know, I don't disagree with you very often, Scott.
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 2: Maybe never.
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 25: Okay.
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 2: I think you're great.
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 13: I do.
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 2: But you said something on Twitter, too, which my next guest,
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 2: I think she's on hold already. She's so spectacular. I
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 2: know you love her, too, KT McFarlane. She says all
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 2: the time, and I disagree with her, too, And that is,
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 2: for those Democrats out there, we've already won the Iran war.
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 2: And no, we haven't. I mean, we're winning. I'm not
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 2: dumb enough to say we're losing. We are winning. Economic
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 2: indicators are going our way. But this game's not over.
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 2: This is like the seventh inning. You're a big sports guy,
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 2: Scott Jennings. This game's not over. I know Trump does
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 2: it because he's the president, but you can't claim victory yet.
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 2: So all I'm saying to people like you and KT
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 2: and others, I never said we're losing. Yes, that's the Democrats.
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 2: That's ridiculous. We are winning, but we haven't won yet.
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 2: How is that possible? They still have the dust. They
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 2: still have layers of these psychos in the IRGC that
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 2: want to kill us. The straight is not really as
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 2: open as the president wants you to believe. Why can't
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 2: we just say we're winning, but Mariano Rivera hasn't entered
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 2: the game just yet?
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 33: Well, here's my argument. We've sunk their navy. We've destroyed
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 33: their military. We've decimated their defense industrial base, which is
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 33: how you produce other weapons. We killed their first layer
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 33: of leadership, and their current leader is a cardboard cutout
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 33: that no one's ever seen in public. Yes, they have
• 1:10:20
  Speaker 33: the nuclear dust, but they have no meaningful ability to
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 33: produce a nuclear weapon. We have vastly degraded their terror proxies.
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 33: They haven't exported, Sid, a barrel of oil, not one
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 33: single barrel– since mid-July, and the United States Navy has
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 33: exported or assisted in the export of 750 million barrels
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 33: of oil through the Strait since this has all started.
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 33: By any meaningful historical metric, this is a defeated nation.
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 33: And so I do believe we've won, and I think
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 33: the president needs to tell the nation that we've won,
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 33: and I think he needs to be honest. We're going
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 33: to have to leave behind some naval assets. And we're
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 33: going to have to leave behind some surveillance. And bottom line,
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 33: we've won and we're going to take Israel off the
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 33: chain and let them do what they have to do
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 33: to keep these people in check. I think we've won.
• 1:11:05
  Speaker 33: And I think it will require eternal vigilance because they're
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 33: lunatics and religious fanatics. But I think by any meaningful
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 33: historical measurement, this is declared a victory right now for
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 33: the United States.
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 2: Okay, but you did say something there that KT says,
• 1:11:19
  Speaker 2: and I agree with you guys on, and that is
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 2: the president needs to say, because even the most ardent
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 2: of Trump supporters, and I'm one of them, I'm a
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 2: complete sycophant, okay? I'm just telling you, no matter what
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 2: he does, I love him. Even though I can be
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 2: critical at times, like about this war, I still love him.
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 2: But the messaging, the messaging has not been perfect, I
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 2: think is what some of his... most ardent supporters say.
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 2: Is that a fair criticism?
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 33: Yeah, look, I think that as this has gone on,
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 33: I think we need and needed constant reminders of why
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 33: we're doing this in the first place.
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 25: And I think.
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 33: Sometimes they've hit the mark. But sometimes we've lost sight
• 1:11:59
  Speaker 33: of that. I also, frankly, think we need more frequent
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 33: Pentagon briefings. At the beginning, we were getting frequent Pentagon
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 33: briefings about how our military was performing. I think we
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 33: lost sight of that, too, because I think people trust
• 1:12:10
  Speaker 33: and want to hear from the military about how we're doing.
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 33: Last night, Admiral Cooper, the head of CENTCOM, issued a video,
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 33: gave a great update about how the naval blockade is
• 1:12:17
  Speaker 33: working and how the Strait of Hormuz is currently working
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 33: and how we've taken out all the mines. We've swept
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 33: up all the mines. I mean, it was a great update,
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 33: and I think more of that, more transparency into just
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 33: exactly how we are winning would help his cause.
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 13: I agree with you on that.
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 16: All right.
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 2: Elephant in the room, Scott Jennings. You knew this was
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 2: going to happen at some point during this conversation. Are
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 2: you going to Vegas right now? By the way, are
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 2: you in the airport right now to go to Vegas?
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 8: I am.
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 33: I'm at LaGuardia right now, headed home to Tennessee and
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 33: then Kentucky for a couple of days. I'll see you
• 1:12:46
  Speaker 33: out there on Sunday.
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 2: Okay, on Sunday. Okay, going home to Tennessee. Everybody's moving
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 2: to Tennessee. I swear to God, everybody I talk to,
• 1:12:53
  Speaker 2: Raleigh Gaines, hey, I'm in Tennessee. Tommy Lahren, hey, I'm
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 2: in Tennessee. Clay Travis, hey, I'm in Tennessee. Everybody's moving
• 1:12:59
  Speaker 2: to Tennessee, and I love it there. Do you live
• 1:13:01
  Speaker 2: by the Grand Ole Opry?
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 5: No, I'm sorry.
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 33: I want to make clear. I live in Kentucky. I
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 33: have to make a pit stop in Knoxville because I'm
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 33: at a fundraiser tonight for a friend of mine in Knoxville.
• 1:13:13
  Speaker 33: But then I'm driving to Louisville. So eventually I'll get
• 1:13:17
  Speaker 33: back to my old Kentucky home.
• 1:13:19
  Speaker 2: I love Kentucky. It's a nice place. So last one.
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 2: Lots of rumors today is Caroline Levitt's last day that
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 2: you will be the next White House press secretary. If
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 2: it matters, I would tell Trump, you're the perfect guy
• 1:13:31
  Speaker 2: for the job. I know you're going to say, well,
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 2: you know, no one said that to me just yet, blah, blah, blah.
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 2: So I'll ask you an opinion question. Do you want
• 1:13:40
  Speaker 2: that job?
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 33: Well, I haven't made any comments about it publicly. I'm
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 33: sort of amused by all the conjecture, and I'm honored
• 1:13:47
  Speaker 33: by all the people who said that they think I
• 1:13:50
  Speaker 33: would be good at it. But to be honest, I
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 33: don't really have anything to say about it other than
• 1:13:54
  Speaker 33: I think Caroline Leavitt's been nothing short of brilliant, and
• 1:13:57
  Speaker 33: whoever takes that job next. has big shoes to fill.
• 1:14:01
  Speaker 33: And the president deserves someone who can give him a
• 1:14:04
  Speaker 33: positive and affirmative defense of what he's doing for the country,
• 1:14:07
  Speaker 33: which I think is a net positive. And I think
• 1:14:09
  Speaker 33: the last two years are going to be, they're going
• 1:14:11
  Speaker 33: to be after him. And he's going to have to
• 1:14:13
  Speaker 33: have somebody who's got thick skin and as tough as
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 33: nails up there.
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 13: So I don't know what.
• 1:14:17
  Speaker 33: He's going to do, but he's always had good instincts
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 33: about the press. He's his own best spokesperson and his
• 1:14:22
  Speaker 33: own best messenger, but he deserves a partner to fight
• 1:14:25
  Speaker 33: that battle every day.
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 2: You just made the best defense ever for yourself. I mean,
• 1:14:31
  Speaker 2: and God, I'm being serious because you're all those things.
• 1:14:33
  Speaker 2: You are perfect for this job. You're amazing. You're smart.
• 1:14:36
  Speaker 2: You're fearless. You'd be great for him. And if, God forbid, Scott,
• 1:14:39
  Speaker 2: we lose the midterms, like you just said, those last
• 1:14:42
  Speaker 2: two years, that's going to be brutal.
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 15: Brutal.
• 1:14:45
  Speaker 33: Oh, it will be bad. I lived through the last
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 33: two years when I worked for President Bush, after we
• 1:14:51
  Speaker 33: lost the 06 midterm, which was.
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 5: A brutal time.
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 33: It was awful, and I think it's going to be
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 33: that times 1,000. If God forbid they win, and by
• 1:14:59
  Speaker 33: the way, I'm not ready to concede yet. A lot
• 1:15:00
  Speaker 33: of people are out there talking negative. I'm not ready
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 33: to concede the election. I think we've got to fight
• 1:15:04
  Speaker 33: it out. But if, God forbid, they win, what they
• 1:15:08
  Speaker 33: try to do to this president and his cabinet and
• 1:15:11
  Speaker 33: anybody who's ever been within 250 feet of him, it's
• 1:15:13
  Speaker 33: going to be an abomination. Look what they're doing to
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 33: his assistant, Natalie Harp. I mean, you think about the
• 1:15:20
  Speaker 33: absolute lack of respect they have for people who have
• 1:15:24
  Speaker 33: gone to serve our country like Natalie, but they will
• 1:15:27
  Speaker 33: be– They will do things we couldn't even conjure up
• 1:15:31
  Speaker 33: here on the radio today to try to destroy this
• 1:15:35
  Speaker 33: man and his presidency and anybody who helped him. And
• 1:15:38
  Speaker 33: he's going to need all the lawyers and press help
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 33: he can get to fight him off. But I'm sure
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 33: he'll have it. But that is what awaits him if
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 33: this election doesn't go well.
• 1:15:46
  Speaker 2: My God. Scott Jennings, just amazing. Have a safe trip
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 2: to Tennessee and Kentucky. Can't wait to see you in Vegas.
• 1:15:52
  Speaker 2: You truly are amazing. Thank you, Scott Jennings.
• 1:15:56
  Speaker 9: Thanks for having me on.
• 1:15:56
  Speaker 33: I look forward to seeing you, Sid.
• 1:15:57
  Speaker 13: Take care.
• 1:15:57
  Speaker 2: Me too, buddy. Take care. Scott Jennings right there, CNN.
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 2: For the second straight year, we will speak together in
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 2: Las Vegas. Coming up this weekend, making his debut, and
• 1:16:07
  Speaker 2: a great one, on Sid and Friends in the Morning.
• 1:16:09
  Speaker 2: I mentioned KT McFarlane. I think she heard that whole
• 1:16:12
  Speaker 2: thing on hold. Interested to get her opinion. The great
• 1:16:15
  Speaker 2: KT McFarlane. She's coming up next.
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 10: Sid and Friends in the Morning on the Red Apple
• 1:16:21
  Speaker 10: Podcast Network.
• 1:16:23
  Speaker 2: Moments ago, Katie, I know you heard every word from Scott.
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 2: What did you think?
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 9: He's terrific. You know, he can talk about American politics.
• 1:16:32
  Speaker 9: He can talk about New York. He can talk about
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 9: national security, foreign policy, Iran. He's got an amazing range.
• 1:16:39
  Speaker 9: And he's very, very, very well informed. But he's a
• 1:16:41
  Speaker 9: heck of a nice guy.
• 1:16:42
  Speaker 2: He's a great guy. He really is. We've been together
• 1:16:45
  Speaker 2: on a couple of occasions. We'll be together this weekend,
• 1:16:47
  Speaker 2: this Sunday in Las Vegas, speaking at the RJC Can't
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 2: Wait conference. And I'm a big fan of his, and
• 1:16:52
  Speaker 2: I do think he'd be great in that Caroline Leavitt position,
• 1:16:57
  Speaker 2: the White House spokesperson, press secretary, I should say. What
• 1:17:00
  Speaker 2: do you think?
• 1:17:02
  Speaker 9: He would be great, but I'd rather see him do
• 1:17:05
  Speaker 9: what he does, which is go out there and make
• 1:17:07
  Speaker 9: the case for the president. You know, you and I
• 1:17:09
  Speaker 9: have talked about this before. I think that one of
• 1:17:11
  Speaker 9: the only things I would criticize President Trump for is
• 1:17:14
  Speaker 9: they don't make the case to the American people enough.
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 9: He assumes, I mean, because he's so smart, he's like
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 9: 10 steps ahead. He assumes everybody already knows what he knows,
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 9: and they don't. And it's worth making the case. And
• 1:17:25
  Speaker 9: if you've got somebody in the press spokesman's job, he's
• 1:17:29
  Speaker 9: doing what he's doing. He's defending the president. She's defending
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 9: the president at every single step. But there's nobody out
• 1:17:34
  Speaker 9: there in the media world strapping on the armor and
• 1:17:40
  Speaker 9: going against it because that's the biggest threat is the
• 1:17:43
  Speaker 9: media and their constant Trump derangement syndrome. where they discount
• 1:17:48
  Speaker 9: everything that President Trump is doing that's good, and they,
• 1:17:52
  Speaker 9: I don't know, find some fault in it. So I
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 9: kind of like the idea that Scott Jennings is out
• 1:17:56
  Speaker 9: there every day strapping on the armor and going on
• 1:17:59
  Speaker 9: CNN and every place else making the case.
• 1:18:02
  Speaker 2: No, I understand that. In fact, when I've talked to
• 1:18:04
  Speaker 2: people about running for office, people that really think I should,
• 1:18:07
  Speaker 2: you know, because most people don't, they would have a fine.
• 1:18:09
  Speaker 2: But people that really think I should, they go, you know,
• 1:18:11
  Speaker 2: but the more I think about it, Sid, I need
• 1:18:13
  Speaker 2: you doing what you're doing, whether it's on radio or
• 1:18:15
  Speaker 2: a podcast in the future. It doesn't matter. We need
• 1:18:18
  Speaker 2: you out there defending President Trump, defending New York's values,
• 1:18:21
  Speaker 2: defending America's values. And they've even said to me, Sid,
• 1:18:25
  Speaker 2: to your point just now, KT, you're more valuable than
• 1:18:28
  Speaker 2: When you're doing that, right, rather than arguing with the
• 1:18:33
  Speaker 2: city council or the Albany legislature or the governor. So
• 1:18:37
  Speaker 2: I've heard that from people about my future, too, that
• 1:18:40
  Speaker 2: people like Scott, like myself, like you, we need us
• 1:18:43
  Speaker 2: out there because without us, we're already outnumbered. We're outnumbered
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 2: in a big way. Without us, we're really in trouble.
• 1:18:52
  Speaker 17: Yeah.
• 1:18:52
  Speaker 9: And I think that's why, you know, again, Scott, you, myself,
• 1:18:56
  Speaker 9: a number of others going out there and taking the case,
• 1:18:59
  Speaker 9: including with hostile interviews. And I go on some places,
• 1:19:03
  Speaker 9: especially the BBC and others, where they just they'll be
• 1:19:05
  Speaker 9: like five people screaming at me that I keep making
• 1:19:09
  Speaker 9: the case five. That's fine. I can hand five to one.
• 1:19:12
  Speaker 9: But but you got to make the case, because if
• 1:19:14
  Speaker 9: you don't if you don't show up and make the case,
• 1:19:17
  Speaker 9: then the left really owns that narrative. And we're a democracy,
• 1:19:21
  Speaker 9: so you have to win hearts and minds of the
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 9: American people. And if the American people are only listening
• 1:19:26
  Speaker 9: and hearing one side of an argument, well, it's tough
• 1:19:30
  Speaker 9: to then make your own case. I think that it's
• 1:19:32
  Speaker 9: important to do that national service of making the case
• 1:19:37
  Speaker 9: and getting into, you know, making your point, making your
• 1:19:40
  Speaker 9: case in face of just enemy fire. And that's what
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 9: Scott is so good at doing. He does it with
• 1:19:46
  Speaker 9: a very nice sense and a light touch.
• 1:19:49
  Speaker 2: And how he does it. I would go nuts there
• 1:19:52
  Speaker 2: on Abby Phillips and CNN.
• 1:19:53
  Speaker 13: He does it.
• 1:19:54
  Speaker 2: He doesn't even raise his voice most of the time.
• 1:19:56
  Speaker 2: He's got that Kentucky drawl going, and he's a better
• 1:19:59
  Speaker 2: man than me, because I would lose. I'd start throwing stuff.
• 1:20:02
  Speaker 2: I really would. But, you know, listen, you and I
• 1:20:07
  Speaker 2: have gone back and forth on this show. It's not
• 1:20:09
  Speaker 2: enemy fire. We're on the same team, and I love you,
• 1:20:11
  Speaker 2: but we've had a couple of disagreements, and For what
• 1:20:14
  Speaker 2: it's worth, especially on Iran, man, if I play back
• 1:20:18
  Speaker 2: the Scott Jennings tape of moments ago, that's you. He
• 1:20:21
  Speaker 2: said exactly what you've been saying on this show for
• 1:20:24
  Speaker 2: the better part of three months. We've already won. I mean,
• 1:20:26
  Speaker 2: down to your exact reasons why he had the same
• 1:20:32
  Speaker 2: exact reasons.
• 1:20:35
  Speaker 9: Well, I guess he's listening too, isn't he? No, look,
• 1:20:39
  Speaker 9: we have already won. And whether Iran goes to a
• 1:20:42
  Speaker 9: negotiating table and signs a form and acquiesces and unbended knee,
• 1:20:47
  Speaker 9: that's probably not ever going to happen. But the objective
• 1:20:50
  Speaker 9: reality is Iran is finished. And the Strait of Hormuz,
• 1:20:54
  Speaker 9: which they have used for 47 years to blackmail the world,
• 1:20:57
  Speaker 9: That's gone as a threat because they overplayed their hand
• 1:21:01
  Speaker 9: by closing the strait, by mining the strait, by threatening
• 1:21:05
  Speaker 9: yet again the world economy. What's happened is that because
• 1:21:09
  Speaker 9: the U.S. armada is there, we can blockade Iran completely.
• 1:21:13
  Speaker 9: And so ships are getting through. We've been able to
• 1:21:17
  Speaker 9: clear now all the mines in the Strait of Hormuz.
• 1:21:20
  Speaker 9: So the only thing that Iran can do to block
• 1:21:23
  Speaker 9: trade at this point is a couple of shoulder-fired missiles.
• 1:21:26
  Speaker 9: you know, on one or two guys. The mines are gone.
• 1:21:30
  Speaker 9: The strait is open. Oil is moving. But because Iran
• 1:21:34
  Speaker 9: overplayed its hand, countries in the region had started doing workarounds.
• 1:21:38
  Speaker 9: They started beefing up and full steam ahead and, you know,
• 1:21:42
  Speaker 9: Manhattan Project doing new pipelines. So more and more oil
• 1:21:47
  Speaker 9: is now going to move by pipelines today. And then
• 1:21:50
  Speaker 9: two years from now, three years from now, Almost all
• 1:21:52
  Speaker 9: of it's going to move by pipeline. And then some
• 1:21:55
  Speaker 9: of the slack that used to come from the Middle
• 1:21:57
  Speaker 9: East oil has been picked up by American oil. The
• 1:22:01
  Speaker 9: countries are sending empty tankers to the Gulf of America
• 1:22:04
  Speaker 9: to get filled up instead of the Persian Gulf. So
• 1:22:08
  Speaker 9: it's stupid around. They overplayed their hand. They overplayed their
• 1:22:10
  Speaker 9: hand in a lot of ways. And they're coming out
• 1:22:12
  Speaker 9: of this not only broke at home, but much, much,
• 1:22:16
  Speaker 9: much weaker in the sense of the power they could
• 1:22:19
  Speaker 9: use to threaten the world. And I think it only
• 1:22:21
  Speaker 9: reinforces the necessity that President Trump took the move to
• 1:22:26
  Speaker 9: destroy their nuclear program because they threatened the world for
• 1:22:29
  Speaker 9: 50 years with Can you imagine if they actually had
• 1:22:33
  Speaker 9: nuclear weapons?
• 1:22:33
  Speaker 2: No, God, no.
• 1:22:34
  Speaker 9: They would threaten the world.
• 1:22:35
  Speaker 2: No, they wouldn't threaten it. Use it. Israel will be
• 1:22:37
  Speaker 2: off the map by now.
• 1:22:38
  Speaker 9: Use it.
• 1:22:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, of course.
• 1:22:39
  Speaker 9: Absolutely.
• 1:22:39
  Speaker 2: You know, I had a very interesting conversation yesterday on
• 1:22:41
  Speaker 2: the show with Gordon Chang. And, you know, he's Mr.
• 1:22:43
  Speaker 33: China.
• 1:22:44
  Speaker 2: And, you know, we're talking about Iran today. We're talking
• 1:22:46
  Speaker 2: about Canada today. Some think that Trump is going to
• 1:22:48
  Speaker 2: look out of the way like America. I don't care.
• 1:22:51
  Speaker 2: I don't care. I don't care. He wants to rename
• 1:22:53
  Speaker 2: a body of water.
• 1:22:55
  Speaker 9: I think he gets up at three o'clock in the morning.
• 1:22:57
  Speaker 9: And then he just sort of, like, a little twinkle
• 1:23:00
  Speaker 9: in his eye, and he thinks, how am I going
• 1:23:02
  Speaker 9: to get those girls on The View really mad today?
• 1:23:05
  Speaker 13: Right.
• 1:23:06
  Speaker 9: How am I going to get everybody, you know, riled up?
• 1:23:09
  Speaker 9: And then he comes up with, you know, Gulf of America,
• 1:23:12
  Speaker 9: let's take Greenland, Canada, 51st State, and now Lake America.
• 1:23:16
  Speaker 2: Let's just piss him off. So I know he does
• 1:23:18
  Speaker 2: all that. But we're talking about China and look, they're
• 1:23:21
  Speaker 2: the ones that we should still be worried about. Okay.
• 1:23:24
  Speaker 2: At the end of the day, it ain't Iran. It
• 1:23:26
  Speaker 2: ain't Canada. It's not Venezuela, Cuba or Russia. It's China.
• 1:23:30
  Speaker 2: But you're talking about how we weakened Iran so much.
• 1:23:33
  Speaker 2: And the conversation with Gordon yesterday was China, not the
• 1:23:37
  Speaker 2: same either. Now, look, they're still doing pretty well in
• 1:23:40
  Speaker 2: the AI race. There's no doubt about it. But look,
• 1:23:44
  Speaker 2: they got to get their oil from Iran. Their economy
• 1:23:47
  Speaker 2: is not exactly great. The people there are losing confidence
• 1:23:52
  Speaker 2: in their leader. So while Iran is always the subject
• 1:23:56
  Speaker 2: of the conversation, Iran can't do anything, right? They never
• 1:24:01
  Speaker 2: were able to fund all those terror proxies, Hezbollah, the Houthis,
• 1:24:05
  Speaker 2: and Hamas, any of that without China. Some say China
• 1:24:10
  Speaker 2: is still, through the Caspian Sea, providing weapons. Some say
• 1:24:13
  Speaker 2: China is still having Arab countries get money to Iran.
• 1:24:17
  Speaker 2: I don't know if any of that is true.
• 1:24:19
  Speaker 5: All I know is.
• 1:24:20
  Speaker 2: China still remains our biggest issue in the world today. Yes?
• 1:24:24
  Speaker 3: 100%.
• 1:24:25
  Speaker 9: And the AI race will determine the future of the world.
• 1:24:30
  Speaker 9: Whoever gets AI first, it's a transformative technology. Whoever gets
• 1:24:34
  Speaker 9: there first is going to dominate. I mean, dominate like
• 1:24:38
  Speaker 9: superpower dominate. Soul superpower dominate the world for at least
• 1:24:42
  Speaker 9: a generation. And that's why the race with China over
• 1:24:45
  Speaker 9: AI is so important. So it's really important for us
• 1:24:47
  Speaker 9: to continue to invest in it. to allow innovation, to
• 1:24:51
  Speaker 9: allow data centers, et cetera. And it's also important for
• 1:24:54
  Speaker 9: us to control the world energy supply because what does
• 1:24:57
  Speaker 9: China not have? Energy. They're one of the most energy-poor
• 1:25:00
  Speaker 9: countries in the world. They have to import their energy.
• 1:25:03
  Speaker 9: And if the United States, as I've said in President Trump,
• 1:25:07
  Speaker 9: his brilliant idea of making the United States the world's
• 1:25:11
  Speaker 9: dominant energy power, in other words, not only do we
• 1:25:14
  Speaker 9: export the most oil, natural gas, LNG products, crude, refined oil.
• 1:25:20
  Speaker 9: We also have ownership or great influence over a lot
• 1:25:25
  Speaker 9: of the rest of the world's oil, whether it's coming
• 1:25:27
  Speaker 9: from Venezuela, the United Arab Emirates, et cetera. So we
• 1:25:30
  Speaker 9: can dominate the world energy supply. And then when we
• 1:25:33
  Speaker 9: dominate the world AI technology, we're way ahead of everybody
• 1:25:38
  Speaker 9: because China still has to import its oil. I think
• 1:25:40
  Speaker 9: when President Trump meets with President Xi next month, one
• 1:25:43
  Speaker 9: of the conversations should be, Hey, Mr. President of China,
• 1:25:48
  Speaker 9: why don't you buy American oil?
• 1:25:51
  Speaker 2: I'd love to get a camera on the president of
• 1:25:53
  Speaker 2: China's face when Trump says that, because he's very friendly
• 1:25:56
  Speaker 2: when Trump is there. He says nice things. He does
• 1:25:59
  Speaker 2: nice things. Somebody gives Trump a chair for a midget.
• 1:26:01
  Speaker 2: But he he doesn't like us. Not even a little bit.
• 1:26:04
  Speaker 2: Let's be honest. OK, let me go back to Canada
• 1:26:07
  Speaker 2: for a second, though, because this is quite the story.
• 1:26:09
  Speaker 2: You heard about this. The CBC News. So the director
• 1:26:12
  Speaker 2: of journalism tells a journalist there that you cannot refer
• 1:26:16
  Speaker 2: to September the 11th as terrorist attacks. They don't want
• 1:26:20
  Speaker 2: the words terrorism or terrorist attacks even used. Think about this.
• 1:26:26
  Speaker 2: They sent out a memo and it said, don't use
• 1:26:30
  Speaker 2: those words. Instead, describe the events as as hijackings that
• 1:26:35
  Speaker 2: led to passenger jet crashes in Washington, Pennsylvania, and Manhattan.
• 1:26:41
  Speaker 2: And oh yeah, the World Trade Center was also destroyed.
• 1:26:45
  Speaker 2: They will not allow their journalists to use the words
• 1:26:49
  Speaker 2: terrorist or terrorism attack Canada. Is that unbelievable?
• 1:26:54
  Speaker 9: Yeah, especially because after September 11th, one of the first
• 1:26:58
  Speaker 9: countries that tried to help America was Canada. where they
• 1:27:02
  Speaker 9: sent the thing that when President Bush was asked, well,
• 1:27:06
  Speaker 9: how can we help you? He said, well, you know,
• 1:27:08
  Speaker 9: send people to come to America. You know, we're open
• 1:27:11
  Speaker 9: for business again. And Canada was one of the first
• 1:27:13
  Speaker 9: that filled that void. The other thing that is just
• 1:27:17
  Speaker 9: stunning to me is I spent, I don't know if
• 1:27:19
  Speaker 9: I ever told you this, but when I did my
• 1:27:20
  Speaker 9: graduate degree at Oxford, I studied communism and Lenin and Marx.
• 1:27:24
  Speaker 9: And how do you take over countries? You know, what
• 1:27:28
  Speaker 9: was their blueprint? And it was always to rewrite history.
• 1:27:32
  Speaker 9: The first thing you did was to rewrite history, you know,
• 1:27:36
  Speaker 9: whitewash history so that the countries and people didn't feel
• 1:27:40
  Speaker 9: proud or acknowledge the sacrifices that their people made in history.
• 1:27:45
  Speaker 9: And you rewrite it so that instead of being heroes,
• 1:27:49
  Speaker 9: the people who respond, they become villains.
• 1:27:51
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 1:27:51
  Speaker 9: And that's exactly what they're doing. This is the rewriting
• 1:27:54
  Speaker 9: of history.
• 1:27:55
  Speaker 2: Well, a guy used to be a friend of mine.
• 1:27:57
  Speaker 2: He's not a friend any longer, but that's really on him,
• 1:27:59
  Speaker 2: not me. We wrote history yesterday. You got to hear this.
• 1:28:04
  Speaker 2: Former mayoral candidate, former WABC talk show host, and a
• 1:28:09
  Speaker 2: damn good one. I'll give him credit for that. Curtis
• 1:28:11
  Speaker 2: Sliwa talking about rewriting history, KT McFarlane. This one you
• 1:28:15
  Speaker 2: can't make up. The guy's name is Adam Friedland. He
• 1:28:19
  Speaker 2: does a podcast. Curtis was on his show yesterday. And
• 1:28:23
  Speaker 2: you tell me if Curtis did not, I should say,
• 1:28:27
  Speaker 2: as you just said, rewrite history.
• 1:28:29
  Speaker 6: Does it piss you off when people try to s
• 1:28:31
  Speaker 6: * * * on Columbus? Like Native Americans and stuff?
• 1:28:36
  Speaker 5: Christopher Columbus, right?
• 1:28:37
  Speaker 33: Yeah, yeah.
• 1:28:38
  Speaker 5: He was a degenerate. He had his problems.
• 1:28:41
  Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah.
• 1:28:41
  Speaker 5: He had his eccentricities.
• 1:28:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:28:44
  Speaker 5: He was Jewish. Did you know that?
• 1:28:46
  Speaker 7: It's actually fake.
• 1:28:47
  Speaker 15: No, no.
• 1:28:48
  Speaker 14: They try to say he's Jewish, but he's not.
• 1:28:49
  Speaker 5: No, he had a brush. Trust me. He had to
• 1:28:52
  Speaker 5: drop his drawers to prove that. He had a brisk.
• 1:28:54
  Speaker 17: Come on.
• 1:28:54
  Speaker 7: Some people just like that style.
• 1:28:55
  Speaker 5: You know, back then.
• 1:28:56
  Speaker 7: People like a hoodless style.
• 1:28:57
  Speaker 11: You know, why do you think he had to escape
• 1:28:59
  Speaker 11: Spain in 1492? He was doing it on behalf of.
• 1:29:01
  Speaker 12: When Queen Isabella and King Ferdinand launched the Inquisition on
• 1:29:06
  Speaker 12: your people and said he would convert or die. And
• 1:29:09
  Speaker 12: he decided to leave with the Nina, the Pinta, the Santa,
• 1:29:12
  Speaker 12: and the Maria.
• 1:29:12
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 1:29:12
  Speaker 7: Well, there's three, actually. The Santa Maria.
• 1:29:15
  Speaker 5: No, no.
• 1:29:15
  Speaker 7: You're wrong. No, no, Santa Maria was the third one.
• 1:29:16
  Speaker 5: The Nina, the Pinta, the Santa, and the Maria.
• 1:29:19
  Speaker 7: The Nina, the Pinta, and the Santa Maria.
• 1:29:21
  Speaker 5: That's right. Four of the ships. Three of them made it.
• 1:29:24
  Speaker 13: Yeah.
• 1:29:25
  Speaker 5: As he went.
• 1:29:26
  Speaker 14: Oh, so he called one the Santa Maria after one lot.
• 1:29:29
  Speaker 7: You combine the names?
• 1:29:31
  Speaker 5: Excuse me?
• 1:29:32
  Speaker 2: Nothing.
• 1:29:33
  Speaker 7: Oh, God.
• 1:29:33
  Speaker 8: Are you trying to instruct me on the hero of
• 1:29:36
  Speaker 8: my peeps, Christopher Columbus?
• 1:29:38
  Speaker 15: I thought you, so you're Jewish. No, he is Jewish.
• 1:29:41
  Speaker 2: Okay, so I had to go back and look because
• 1:29:43
  Speaker 2: I trust Curtis so much. I go, wait a second.
• 1:29:46
  Speaker 2: I was under the impression it was three boats. The Nina,
• 1:29:49
  Speaker 2: the Pinta, and the Santa Maria. And everything I read
• 1:29:52
  Speaker 2: said it was not four boats. It was three boats.
• 1:29:56
  Speaker 2: So the question is, because you're Italian, KT, did Curtis
• 1:29:59
  Speaker 2: rewrite history there?
• 1:30:02
  Speaker 9: I think Curtis has jumped the shark. He has. I mean, A,
• 1:30:09
  Speaker 9: rewriting history. Christopher Columbus is Jewish. I mean, he's, I think, yeah,
• 1:30:15
  Speaker 9: he's going to some strange place. And that's a shame.
• 1:30:18
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 1:30:19
  Speaker 9: Because he did do great things for the country and
• 1:30:21
  Speaker 9: New York.
• 1:30:21
  Speaker 2: He did.
• 1:30:22
  Speaker 9: Decades ago.
• 1:30:23
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 1:30:23
  Speaker 9: That was a long time ago.
• 1:30:24
  Speaker 2: It's over, right?
• 1:30:25
  Speaker 13: That's it.
• 1:30:27
  Speaker 2: Now he belongs in maybe a room with Lindsay Clancy.
• 1:30:29
  Speaker 9: Yes.
• 1:30:31
  Speaker 2: And that's not a funny story. That's a horrible story.
• 1:30:33
  Speaker 2: She killed her three kids. But, you know, we're going
• 1:30:35
  Speaker 2: to find out, I guess. There's definitely five different verdict
• 1:30:40
  Speaker 2: possibilities in this case. And we're going to find out.
• 1:30:43
  Speaker 2: Me personally, I don't think she's evil. I think she
• 1:30:45
  Speaker 2: did an evil thing. And I think that she should
• 1:30:47
  Speaker 2: never see daylight again. But I would put her in
• 1:30:50
  Speaker 2: a mental institution and not a maximum security prison. Do
• 1:30:53
  Speaker 2: you have any, as a great mom and grandmother, any
• 1:30:57
  Speaker 2: opinion on that case?
• 1:30:59
  Speaker 9: Your heart breaks. Your heart breaks for every one of
• 1:31:02
  Speaker 9: those five, you know, outcomes and conclusions that you talked about.
• 1:31:06
  Speaker 9: Your heart just breaks. And for me at that point,
• 1:31:09
  Speaker 9: I just think you turn to prayer and you don't
• 1:31:12
  Speaker 9: rail at God. You just turn to prayer.
• 1:31:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a good idea. KT, you're such a sweet
• 1:31:16
  Speaker 2: and beautiful and smart lady. You know, I love you
• 1:31:18
  Speaker 2: so much. Thank you so much.
• 1:31:20
  Speaker 9: Thank you.

• 1:32:02
  Speaker 2: with me in las vegas this weekend so that's where
• 1:32:05
  Speaker 2: i met him for the first time last year in
• 1:32:08
  Speaker 2: the green room because he spoke right before me so
• 1:32:11
  Speaker 2: we spoke for about 20 minutes and then You know,
• 1:32:14
  Speaker 2: I start to pay more attention. He defends me on
• 1:32:16
  Speaker 2: CNN every now and then, which is very, very nice.
• 1:32:20
  Speaker 2: And we've spoken a bunch of times. We co-hosted the
• 1:32:25
  Speaker 2: One Israel Fun Dinner back in the fall of last year.
• 1:32:28
  Speaker 2: That was amazing at Chelsea Piers. But he's never been
• 1:32:31
  Speaker 2: on before today. So he is one of the big
• 1:32:34
  Speaker 2: names that will be at the RJC in Vegas this weekend.
• 1:32:38
  Speaker 2: So Matt Brooks and Norm Coleman made sure he stopped
• 1:32:41
  Speaker 2: by today. Another very big name that's going to be there,
• 1:32:45
  Speaker 2: and I think I'll have some time to have a
• 1:32:47
  Speaker 2: little one-on-one with him, is the vice president, J.D. Vance.
• 1:32:51
  Speaker 2: That's Monday, so we'll see if that comes to fruition. J.D.
• 1:32:55
  Speaker 2: going to be here come 9-11 because President Trump is not.
• 1:33:00
  Speaker 2: We found out today or yesterday that President Trump will
• 1:33:03
  Speaker 2: be at the Pentagon in Washington, D.C., paying his respects. J.D.
• 1:33:08
  Speaker 2: Vance will be here, as will the mayor. Of New
• 1:33:12
  Speaker 2: York City. Mamdani. I just. I don't know what to
• 1:33:16
  Speaker 2: say to. Giovanni Galante.
• 1:33:17
  Speaker 10: And.
• 1:33:18
  Speaker 2: Charles Wolfe.
• 1:33:19
  Speaker 9: And.
• 1:33:21
  Speaker 2: Jeanette Pick. Even. Some of these politicians. Like. Joanne Areola.
• 1:33:26
  Speaker 2: She's been fighting. Very very hard.
• 1:33:28
  Speaker 30: And.
• 1:33:29
  Speaker 2: Her girl there. Phyllis Insurella. I don't know what to say.
• 1:33:32
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 1:33:32
  Speaker 7: Just.
• 1:33:33
  Speaker 2: We've been trying. We've got this petition going. I think
• 1:33:36
  Speaker 2: it's over 90,000 strong. Even Scott Lobato from a hospital bed.
• 1:33:40
  Speaker 2: He had the plane that flew overhead that said, stay away.
• 1:33:45
  Speaker 2: This guy, he just had a heart attack. So there
• 1:33:48
  Speaker 2: are so many New Yorkers. I know that I played
• 1:33:53
  Speaker 2: it earlier. I'm going to play it again because it's
• 1:33:55
  Speaker 2: so ridiculous. Channel 7, ABC News. The word that Sade Baranwad,
• 1:34:03
  Speaker 2: nice lady, very pretty, very good. The word that she
• 1:34:06
  Speaker 2: used to describe the amount of families that don't want
• 1:34:10
  Speaker 2: him here is just incorrect. They got to stop running
• 1:34:15
  Speaker 2: cover for this creep. Channel 2, Channel 4, Channel 5,
• 1:34:21
  Speaker 2: Channel 7, 9, 11, every cable network outside of Fox News, Newsmax.
• 1:34:26
  Speaker 2: Stop running cover for this creep. Melissa Russo, Marsha Kramer,
• 1:34:32
  Speaker 2: Katie Honan, and in this case, Sade Baranwad. Take a listen.
• 1:34:38
  Speaker 2: She talks about The families that are upset that the
• 1:34:42
  Speaker 2: mayor is coming. But listen to the word she uses
• 1:34:46
  Speaker 2: to describe how many. This is cut number two.
• 1:34:49
  Speaker 16: President Trump is not expected to attend this year's 9-11
• 1:34:53
  Speaker 16: ceremonies at the September 11th memorial in lower Manhattan. Instead,
• 1:34:57
  Speaker 16: he's expected to commemorate the 25th anniversary at the Pentagon
• 1:35:01
  Speaker 16: where he'll deliver remarks. Vice President J.D. Vance will represent
• 1:35:05
  Speaker 16: the Trump administration in Lower Manhattan. Mayor Mamdani will also attend,
• 1:35:10
  Speaker 16: despite the wishes of select 9-11 family members.
• 1:35:13
  Speaker 2: Select? Sorry, sweetheart. It's a lot more than select. It's
• 1:35:18
  Speaker 2: the majority. It may be the overwhelming majority. What do
• 1:35:20
  Speaker 2: you mean select? They run cover for this guy all
• 1:35:26
  Speaker 2: the time. It's kind of like Canada. I talked about
• 1:35:29
  Speaker 2: this all morning long with KT and Rich Lowry and
• 1:35:32
  Speaker 2: Scott Jennings. The CBC telling their people do not use
• 1:35:38
  Speaker 2: the word terrorist or the words terrorist attack to describe 9-11. Yeah,
• 1:35:46
  Speaker 2: it came down. You are not allowed to do that
• 1:35:49
  Speaker 2: on our network in Canada anymore. The memo instead described
• 1:35:54
  Speaker 2: the events as, ready for this, hijackings that led to
• 1:35:58
  Speaker 2: passenger jet crashes in Washington, Pennsylvania, and Manhattan. It also
• 1:36:05
  Speaker 2: says the World Trade Center was destroyed, but they want
• 1:36:08
  Speaker 2: to remove... Any political significance. Just hijackings. That could have
• 1:36:14
  Speaker 2: been anybody. That wasn't the truth. The truth was, on
• 1:36:18
  Speaker 2: that day and every day since, radical Islam set out
• 1:36:24
  Speaker 2: to destroy America. How do you leave that out? 19
• 1:36:29
  Speaker 2: Arab hijackers. They took flying lessons. How to fly but
• 1:36:35
  Speaker 2: not to land. How do you leave that out and
• 1:36:39
  Speaker 2: just say, oh, a bunch of planes got hijacked and
• 1:36:41
  Speaker 2: they crashed? Are you nuts? So it's everywhere. We're surrounded
• 1:36:47
  Speaker 2: by people who protect radical Islam, Muslims, all of it. Criminals.
• 1:36:56
  Speaker 2: Sade Baranwad, a select number of families. No, Sade, the
• 1:37:01
  Speaker 2: majority don't want this punk anywhere near that place. And
• 1:37:05
  Speaker 2: I know because I speak to him, okay? I'm not
• 1:37:07
  Speaker 2: sitting on 66 and Broadway in a nice little studio
• 1:37:11
  Speaker 2: like you do, okay? Come on. You know better than that.
• 1:37:16
  Speaker 2: I know Bill Ritter would have said the same thing.
• 1:37:18
  Speaker 2: And Bill, of course, had to retire, and I wish
• 1:37:20
  Speaker 2: Bill the best of luck. And what he did, he's
• 1:37:22
  Speaker 2: going through something terrible. He's also going to the Hall
• 1:37:26
  Speaker 2: of Fame the same day that I am with me
• 1:37:28
  Speaker 2: and Roseanne Escato. And I wish Bill Ritter nothing but
• 1:37:31
  Speaker 2: luck and success. But he would say stuff like that.
• 1:37:35
  Speaker 2: Select families. No, that's not correct. Let's call it the
• 1:37:39
  Speaker 2: way it really is and stop trying to protect our
• 1:37:44
  Speaker 2: lousy and horrible politicians. Joe Takapina, best defense attorney in
• 1:37:51
  Speaker 2: the world, friend of mine for 49 years. He's coming up.
• 1:37:55
  Speaker 1: Sid and Friends in the Morning on the Red Apple
• 1:37:58
  Speaker 1: Podcast Network.
• 1:38:01
  Speaker 2: Spends a lot of time with our best generals. He's
• 1:38:03
  Speaker 2: been at the Pentagon many, many times. That's where Trump
• 1:38:05
  Speaker 2: will be on 9-11. And in fact, just to prove
• 1:38:08
  Speaker 2: this story, as I get set to introduce Joseph this morning,
• 1:38:13
  Speaker 2: he's leaving Fort Bragg. He was out there for the
• 1:38:16
  Speaker 2: great General Donahue's retirement ceremony. I know how upset he
• 1:38:20
  Speaker 2: was that Donahue was forced to retire. So was I.
• 1:38:23
  Speaker 2: So are a lot of people who are familiar with
• 1:38:26
  Speaker 2: the Army and the great job that Donahue did. So
• 1:38:29
  Speaker 2: let's go to Joseph right now, somewhere near Port Bragg,
• 1:38:33
  Speaker 2: if not in Port Bragg on this Friday morning. Joseph,
• 1:38:36
  Speaker 2: good morning, buddy. How are you? Good morning, brother.
• 1:38:38
  Speaker 13: I'm pretty good considering, you know, you spend a night
• 1:38:41
  Speaker 13: with a bunch of Army guys, particularly Special Forces and
• 1:38:45
  Speaker 13: Special Ops and those sorts of guys, and it gets rough.
• 1:38:49
  Speaker 13: They like the bourbon.
• 1:38:50
  Speaker 2: Oh, boy.
• 1:38:52
  Speaker 5: Oh, boy.
• 1:38:55
  Speaker 13: Boy, oh, boy.
• 1:38:57
  Speaker 2: They like bourbon.
• 1:38:57
  Speaker 13: They really do. Drink it like water, and then they
• 1:39:00
  Speaker 13: get up at 530 to do PT the next morning
• 1:39:02
  Speaker 13: like nothing. So, yeah, it was a great night because
• 1:39:08
  Speaker 13: it celebrated one of our great heroes, literally generational heroes.
• 1:39:11
  Speaker 13: It was also a bit of a sad night because
• 1:39:13
  Speaker 13: the night should never have been taking place not at
• 1:39:15
  Speaker 13: this time, maybe in 10 years from.
• 1:39:17
  Speaker 17: Now or later.
• 1:39:18
  Speaker 13: You know, somewhere down the road, but certainly not this time,
• 1:39:20
  Speaker 13: not one of the most crucial times in this country's
• 1:39:23
  Speaker 13: military history. But it took place and it was great.
• 1:39:26
  Speaker 13: And I mean, it was that was a who's who
• 1:39:29
  Speaker 13: of the United States Army last night. I mean, every
• 1:39:31
  Speaker 13: great general, General Miller and all these incredible ex-general's ex-Delta
• 1:39:37
  Speaker 13: Force guys and. And then, of course, you have generals
• 1:39:39
  Speaker 13: like Pat Worth there and General Anderson, these great leaders
• 1:39:42
  Speaker 13: who are still hanging in there, as our Army seems
• 1:39:46
  Speaker 13: to be becoming a bit of a rudderless ship. But,
• 1:39:49
  Speaker 13: you know, here we are.
• 1:39:50
  Speaker 2: Here we are. And Donahue, he called it quits last night.
• 1:39:54
  Speaker 2: He never should have, like you said. And then your guy,
• 1:39:57
  Speaker 2: Secretary Driscoll, he's about to resign the end of next week.
• 1:40:01
  Speaker 2: That is another horrible move for the Army, based on
• 1:40:05
  Speaker 2: people that I speak to, especially you. So Driscoll on
• 1:40:09
  Speaker 2: his way out, you know, I meant to ask you
• 1:40:11
  Speaker 2: this last time. Do you have anybody in mind who
• 1:40:14
  Speaker 2: you'd like to think would place Driscoll?
• 1:40:17
  Speaker 13: Oh, there's only one. There's only one. It's Mike Oberdahl.
• 1:40:20
  Speaker 13: Mike is currently the undersecretary, Senate-confirmed undersecretary, by the way,
• 1:40:24
  Speaker 13: of the United States Army. He's an obvious way to
• 1:40:27
  Speaker 13: restore some continuity here. Mike Overdahl is one of our great,
• 1:40:31
  Speaker 13: great heroes. He understands the institution. He understands modernization. Most importantly,
• 1:40:37
  Speaker 13: he understands soldiers. So if Driscoll leaves, not if. He
• 1:40:41
  Speaker 13: leaves next week, which is a done deal. You know,
• 1:40:45
  Speaker 13: the only guy really to replace him is Mike Oberdahl.
• 1:40:47
  Speaker 13: He was a helicopter pilot with Apache gunships. He had
• 1:40:51
  Speaker 13: multiple combat tours in Iraq and Afghanistan. He was a
• 1:40:54
  Speaker 13: squadron commander for the Delta Force. And if you don't
• 1:40:56
  Speaker 13: know what that means, that's the pinnacle of our army
• 1:41:00
  Speaker 13: right there. You know, he's married to a West Point grad,
• 1:41:05
  Speaker 13: three sons. And most importantly, he is loved by the troops.
• 1:41:08
  Speaker 13: Mike Oberdahl is fantastic. It really would be the only
• 1:41:12
  Speaker 13: choice if we want to have any sense of stability, calmness, continuity.
• 1:41:17
  Speaker 13: And I think that should be the case. He will
• 1:41:19
  Speaker 13: be the acting because he's the undersecretary.
• 1:41:21
  Speaker 12: Right.
• 1:41:21
  Speaker 13: But the president needs to restore some stability there immediately
• 1:41:26
  Speaker 13: and really, really appoint him. Because right now, the United
• 1:41:29
  Speaker 13: States Army is becoming rudderless at precisely the moment America
• 1:41:34
  Speaker 13: can least afford it. We're fighting worse. We care for
• 1:41:37
  Speaker 13: next week literally without him. A Senate-confirmed chief of staff
• 1:41:40
  Speaker 13: and a Senate-confirmed Army secretary. That's not a personnel problem.
• 1:41:44
  Speaker 13: That's a national security problem in my mind. So we
• 1:41:47
  Speaker 13: have to make some moves here.
• 1:41:49
  Speaker 2: No, I agree. You know, you mentioned the Army secretary,
• 1:41:52
  Speaker 2: and you and I have a dear, dear friend in common.
• 1:41:54
  Speaker 2: And he happens to own the Florida Panthers and a
• 1:41:56
  Speaker 2: couple of racehorses that won the Kentucky Derby, one of his.
• 1:41:59
  Speaker 2: Golden Temple in the Belmont this year. His name is
• 1:42:01
  Speaker 2: Vinnie Viola. And people may not know this, but back
• 1:42:04
  Speaker 2: in 2016, Vinnie's a New York guy, a Brooklyn guy, Williamsburg.
• 1:42:08
  Speaker 2: President Trump offered Vinnie the Army, the Secretary of Army position.
• 1:42:13
  Speaker 2: Vinnie's a big-time West Point grad and well-respected, beloved. Now,
• 1:42:17
  Speaker 2: Vinnie turned it down because he's got 19 other businesses
• 1:42:19
  Speaker 2: to run, but he was you know, honored, obviously, and
• 1:42:22
  Speaker 2: very respectful in turning it down. But Vinny was up
• 1:42:25
  Speaker 2: at that position, which is a huge honor. Shows you
• 1:42:27
  Speaker 2: what kind of guy Vinny is. But you just mentioned
• 1:42:29
  Speaker 2: the guy now. The Wall Street Journal is reporting he also,
• 1:42:33
  Speaker 2: like Driscoll, will be stepping down at the end of
• 1:42:36
  Speaker 2: the year. What's that all about?
• 1:42:39
  Speaker 13: You know, So, again, I'm going back to the instability
• 1:42:43
  Speaker 13: at the top of the United States Army and at
• 1:42:45
  Speaker 13: the military. And again, I'll go back to Pete Excep.
• 1:42:49
  Speaker 13: You know how I feel about him. You know how
• 1:42:51
  Speaker 13: I feel about what he's done as far as a
• 1:42:52
  Speaker 13: leadership voice to me. it's inexplicable. And I'm telling you
• 1:42:59
  Speaker 13: the guys in the know, and I'm in the know,
• 1:43:02
  Speaker 13: like what it's so, but the guys in the know,
• 1:43:04
  Speaker 13: you know, I'm the United States army ambassador. Okay. That's my,
• 1:43:06
  Speaker 13: my title, my role, but, but the guys who are
• 1:43:09
  Speaker 13: there in the, in the fields and, and, in the war,
• 1:43:13
  Speaker 13: on the grounds, and at the bases every single day,
• 1:43:16
  Speaker 13: the morale is really being drained a bit, brother. It's
• 1:43:19
  Speaker 13: being drained. And that's the part, look, that we need
• 1:43:25
  Speaker 13: to stop having happen to us. We're losing generational talents.
• 1:43:27
  Speaker 13: We don't replace General Donahue overnight. You just can't do it. Fortunately,
• 1:43:31
  Speaker 13: we have General Norrie who stepped in for it. General
• 1:43:33
  Speaker 13: Norrie is a great, great general. You have General Pat Warwick,
• 1:43:36
  Speaker 13: who's really the disciple of General Donahue. Pat Warwick is...
• 1:43:41
  Speaker 13: He's revered and loved. General Anderson, who's the 18th Airborne
• 1:43:45
  Speaker 13: Corps commander. I mean, you have some all-time greats still
• 1:43:49
  Speaker 13: in there, but we're losing them. And our enemies, Sid,
• 1:43:52
  Speaker 13: do not care about Washington politics or Pentagon infighting. The
• 1:43:57
  Speaker 13: enemy cares whether the United States Army is ready to
• 1:44:00
  Speaker 13: fight tonight. So leadership vacancies at the top of the
• 1:44:03
  Speaker 13: Army in wartime, to me, are unacceptable. And here we are.
• 1:44:08
  Speaker 13: So we need to— this needs to be taken— the president needs
• 1:44:10
  Speaker 13: to step right in.
• 1:44:12
  Speaker 2: I think he will. He's got a lot going on.
• 1:44:14
  Speaker 2: That's not an excuse. I love when people tell me, yeah,
• 1:44:16
  Speaker 2: we're busy. I don't want to hear it, okay? You've
• 1:44:18
  Speaker 2: got to prioritize certain things, right? Everybody's busy. Everybody's busy.
• 1:44:22
  Speaker 2: But you prioritize, okay? What's most important? And in this
• 1:44:25
  Speaker 2: case— with the president, Pete Hexeth. Does Hexeth know that
• 1:44:30
  Speaker 2: you go on this show and other shows? And you're right. No,
• 1:44:33
  Speaker 2: I'm serious. You're right. You know, you're not lying. You're
• 1:44:36
  Speaker 2: not talking out of line. You're giving out facts. But
• 1:44:39
  Speaker 2: does he know that you're pretty critical of him?
• 1:44:42
  Speaker 13: I never had a chat with him about it and
• 1:44:44
  Speaker 13: don't know. And if he wants to have a chat,
• 1:44:47
  Speaker 13: I'd be more than happy to. I'd say the same
• 1:44:48
  Speaker 13: thing to his face that I'm saying on this radio show,
• 1:44:51
  Speaker 13: as I've said on this radio show for months, because
• 1:44:53
  Speaker 13: I'm seeing what's happening inside our army. I love our army.
• 1:44:56
  Speaker 13: I love our soldiers. I love our troops. I love
• 1:44:58
  Speaker 13: our country. And I do not... want to see in
• 1:45:02
  Speaker 13: military nepotism, cronyism, favoritism. It doesn't belong here. Yeah, it's
• 1:45:06
  Speaker 13: all over corporate America. That's fine. That's part of our lives, right? Oh,
• 1:45:10
  Speaker 13: your buddy's son wants a job, whatever. Oh, the son
• 1:45:13
  Speaker 13: of the CEO gets a job.
• 1:45:14
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 1:45:15
  Speaker 13: Not here. Not here. Because people die when we have favoritism, cronyism,
• 1:45:20
  Speaker 13: or nepotism here. And so it just has to stop.
• 1:45:24
  Speaker 13: I don't know if he listens or doesn't listen. And
• 1:45:27
  Speaker 13: if it affects my standing, so be it. I will
• 1:45:30
  Speaker 13: always speak my mind and the truth. I don't take
• 1:45:31
  Speaker 13: any pleasure in saying this. I don't have a personal...
• 1:45:36
  Speaker 13: like for Pete Hicks as a person. I don't know him,
• 1:45:38
  Speaker 13: but I do know him as a leader, what he's done.
• 1:45:41
  Speaker 13: And I'm telling you, the people that were speaking last
• 1:45:44
  Speaker 13: night and as the night went on and the bourbon
• 1:45:46
  Speaker 13: continued to flow, people were very open about.
• 1:45:50
  Speaker 2: How they felt. Why do you think then that President
• 1:45:52
  Speaker 2: Trump has continuously, time and time again, even very recently,
• 1:45:56
  Speaker 2: defended Pete Hicks and kept him in that position?
• 1:46:00
  Speaker 13: That's one of those unanswered questions. I can't speak for
• 1:46:03
  Speaker 13: the president. I don't know what's in his mind when
• 1:46:05
  Speaker 13: it comes to that. He's a loyal guy, right? When
• 1:46:07
  Speaker 13: he wants, when he thinks I think that's a large
• 1:46:11
  Speaker 13: part of it. Pete Hegseth will do what the president wants,
• 1:46:14
  Speaker 13: speaks the language he wants him to speak, and so
• 1:46:16
  Speaker 13: on and so forth. But by all accounts, by all accounts,
• 1:46:19
  Speaker 13: I know firsthand that there's been a little ruffling of
• 1:46:22
  Speaker 13: the feathers of late between the president and Hegseth because
• 1:46:27
  Speaker 13: of the information that the president's been given about our
• 1:46:30
  Speaker 13: munitions being so low that the president did not know about.
• 1:46:33
  Speaker 13: But he can only rely on what his people are
• 1:46:35
  Speaker 13: telling him. And, you know, there was some backlash against Texas. But,
• 1:46:40
  Speaker 13: you know, again, we have to see where this goes.
• 1:46:43
  Speaker 13: I don't care who's the person. I just care about
• 1:46:47
  Speaker 13: the role and the title and the position being operated
• 1:46:50
  Speaker 13: in accordance with our needs as in the United States Army,
• 1:46:53
  Speaker 13: as the military. And that's it. That's all I care about.
• 1:46:56
  Speaker 13: But we still have some greats. Again, Mike Overdahl is
• 1:46:58
  Speaker 13: still there. You know, you have general work. You have
• 1:47:00
  Speaker 13: general leadership. Anderson, all these guys, General Norrie, there's Mike Weimer,
• 1:47:05
  Speaker 13: the Sergeant Major of the Army, an unbelievable leader. So
• 1:47:10
  Speaker 13: they're still there, but we're losing our best. By the week,
• 1:47:14
  Speaker 13: I mean, there was another guy who just retired, another general,
• 1:47:21
  Speaker 13: La Camera. He just retired. He was a four-star general.
• 1:47:24
  Speaker 13: I mean, you know, these people are not easy to replace.
• 1:47:28
  Speaker 13: I spent a lot of time with him last night,
• 1:47:29
  Speaker 13: General Paul La Camera, four-star. He left. The last year
• 1:47:33
  Speaker 13: and a half. I mean, you can't, you know, you just,
• 1:47:36
  Speaker 13: these guys, you don't replace them that easily. And we
• 1:47:40
  Speaker 13: have to be careful. That's all I'm saying. And the
• 1:47:42
  Speaker 13: morale needs to be paid attention to because soldiers need
• 1:47:45
  Speaker 13: to have the will, the desire, and the belief that
• 1:47:49
  Speaker 13: our administrators are behind them 100%.
• 1:47:53
  Speaker 2: You can't argue with any of that. I got to
• 1:47:54
  Speaker 2: tell you, we're on twice this week because you're so
• 1:47:56
  Speaker 2: damn good, Joe Tacopini. You were great on Monday, great
• 1:47:58
  Speaker 2: on Monday. And this was amazing information. Not good. Amazing,
• 1:48:04
  Speaker 2: which only a certain amount of people can get. And
• 1:48:06
  Speaker 2: you're one of those people. But I can't let you go.
• 1:48:08
  Speaker 2: I can't, even though this is great already, without asking
• 1:48:11
  Speaker 2: about the biggest trial in the country, in the world today.
• 1:48:14
  Speaker 2: And that is Lindsay Clancy. We did speak about this
• 1:48:17
  Speaker 2: on Monday as well. I told you. I think what
• 1:48:19
  Speaker 2: she did was incredible.
• 1:48:20
  Speaker 5: Evil.
• 1:48:20
  Speaker 2: I'm not sure she is evil. That's up for debate,
• 1:48:23
  Speaker 2: but I do think what she did was evil. Now
• 1:48:24
  Speaker 2: they're saying today that with the, um, now the, the
• 1:48:28
  Speaker 2: verdict in the hand of the jury, the hands of
• 1:48:29
  Speaker 2: the jury, that there could be any one of five
• 1:48:34
  Speaker 2: different verdicts in this Trial. Five manslaughter's in there. Murder one,
• 1:48:38
  Speaker 2: murder two. I don't even know what else. So, really,
• 1:48:42
  Speaker 2: how complex has this case, Takapina, turned out to be?
• 1:48:46
  Speaker 13: Incredibly complex, because it's not just a whodunit. It's a why.
• 1:48:52
  Speaker 2: Right, there's no whodunit. She admitted she did it. She
• 1:48:55
  Speaker 2: admitted she killed the kids.
• 1:48:57
  Speaker 13: Right, so then you now have to unbuckle all these...
• 1:49:01
  Speaker 13: sort of experts and their testimony and who's more credible.
• 1:49:04
  Speaker 13: One expert says something, another says something else. And then
• 1:49:07
  Speaker 13: there's the common sense factor. You know, I always remind
• 1:49:09
  Speaker 13: jurors when I speak to them, I say, you know,
• 1:49:10
  Speaker 13: ladies and gentlemen, there is no such thing as jury school, okay?
• 1:49:14
  Speaker 13: You don't need any special skill set to be here.
• 1:49:16
  Speaker 13: All you need is your God-given common sense. And to
• 1:49:20
  Speaker 13: be fair and impartial. Don't come in here with any
• 1:49:22
  Speaker 13: biases or motives or leaning one way or another. Just
• 1:49:25
  Speaker 13: be open-minded, God-given common sense, follow the law and follow
• 1:49:29
  Speaker 13: the facts, and you'll do okay, ladies and gentlemen. Because
• 1:49:31
  Speaker 13: jurors are nervous that they don't know how to do
• 1:49:33
  Speaker 13: this stuff. There's nothing to it. But this case is complex.
• 1:49:36
  Speaker 13: There are five different potential words, but actually there are
• 1:49:39
  Speaker 13: six different outcomes, potential outcomes, right? Because you have to
• 1:49:41
  Speaker 13: also throw a hung jury in there. That's a sixth
• 1:49:44
  Speaker 13: potential outcome. But the five different potential, it's a first
• 1:49:47
  Speaker 13: degree murder, right? That's the top dog there. That's under
• 1:49:50
  Speaker 13: a deliberate premeditation. But there's an element of extreme atrocity
• 1:49:56
  Speaker 13: or cruelty. OK, that's life in prison without parole. That's
• 1:49:59
  Speaker 13: first degree murder. Second degree murder, which is still murder.
• 1:50:01
  Speaker 13: You know, they have to find a criminal responsible for
• 1:50:05
  Speaker 13: the murder, but doesn't find the element of first degree murder.
• 1:50:09
  Speaker 13: That would be the cruelty or atrocity element. That can
• 1:50:12
  Speaker 13: be life in prison, but there is the possibility of parole.
• 1:50:15
  Speaker 13: Then you go down the pecking order. Then there's manslaughter, right?
• 1:50:19
  Speaker 13: It's basically essentially the compromised criminal verdict manslaughter in any
• 1:50:23
  Speaker 13: homicide case. So, yes, she was criminally responsible, but the
• 1:50:27
  Speaker 13: culpability did not rise to murder. And that's 20 years
• 1:50:31
  Speaker 13: max on each count. The judge could also run them consecutively,
• 1:50:35
  Speaker 13: which for all intents and purposes becomes life. Then you
• 1:50:38
  Speaker 13: have not. Here's the one that I think is going
• 1:50:42
  Speaker 13: to be the one. Not guilty by lack of criminal responsibility.
• 1:50:46
  Speaker 13: I'm looking at the verdict sheet, right? So not guilty
• 1:50:48
  Speaker 13: by lack of criminal responsibility is basically the insanity verdict
• 1:50:52
  Speaker 13: in Massachusetts, okay? That's the key question, whether because of
• 1:50:56
  Speaker 13: mental disease or defect, was she unable to appreciate... The
• 1:51:00
  Speaker 13: wrongfulness of what she was doing or able to conform
• 1:51:03
  Speaker 13: her conduct to the law. So she doesn't get to
• 1:51:06
  Speaker 13: walk away. She just gets committed to a state psychiatric
• 1:51:10
  Speaker 13: hospital facility. And then, of course, it's not guilty. That's
• 1:51:13
  Speaker 13: never happening. That's a straight. It will go home. You know,
• 1:51:16
  Speaker 13: you're not guilty. I ain't happening.
• 1:51:17
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 1:51:17
  Speaker 9: Right.
• 1:51:20
  Speaker 13: But I do think the not guilty by lack of
• 1:51:22
  Speaker 13: criminal responsibility is the one.
• 1:51:23
  Speaker 2: So do I.
• 1:51:24
  Speaker 13: I had it. That's where I go. It's not a walk.
• 1:51:27
  Speaker 2: Away, right? I mean, the only thing, the only thing is,
• 1:51:29
  Speaker 2: is I'm with you. I think that's what they do too.
• 1:51:31
  Speaker 2: And I think that would be the fairest outcome. I
• 1:51:33
  Speaker 2: really do. The only thing I have to say to
• 1:51:35
  Speaker 2: you is where folks get upset is, but yeah, but Sid,
• 1:51:38
  Speaker 2: she actually asked her husband to leave the house, right?
• 1:51:43
  Speaker 2: Go pick up this, go pick up that because she
• 1:51:46
  Speaker 2: knew once he left the house, she can kill the kids.
• 1:51:50
  Speaker 2: So it wasn't like she's sitting there and she just
• 1:51:53
  Speaker 2: goes nuts, right? So to a certain extent, that's a
• 1:51:56
  Speaker 2: little planned, a little, or no.
• 1:52:00
  Speaker 13: Yeah, you can plan and still be.
• 1:52:02
  Speaker 33: Insane.
• 1:52:03
  Speaker 13: You can plan and still have an insanity defense or
• 1:52:07
  Speaker 13: a verdict of this type. I mean, you can do it.
• 1:52:09
  Speaker 13: Not guilty by lack of criminal responsibility, because if you
• 1:52:13
  Speaker 13: believe the expert of the defense, that Dr. Resnick, who
• 1:52:16
  Speaker 13: by all accounts and reports, I didn't watch every second
• 1:52:18
  Speaker 13: of the testimony of other things to do, but I've
• 1:52:20
  Speaker 13: read that he was very good. And what he testified
• 1:52:23
  Speaker 13: to was that she was experiencing these things called command hallucinations, right?
• 1:52:28
  Speaker 13: And a delusion of influence. So command hallucinations, like someone's
• 1:52:32
  Speaker 13: telling you to do something and whatnot. Now, look, we
• 1:52:35
  Speaker 13: don't know. We can't get inside someone's brain. You know,
• 1:52:38
  Speaker 13: it sounds weird. Like the son of Sam. Remember the
• 1:52:41
  Speaker 13: son of Sam when we were kids?
• 1:52:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah.
• 1:52:42
  Speaker 13: You know, the dog told him to do that.
• 1:52:44
  Speaker 2: That's right. That's right.
• 1:52:45
  Speaker 13: And, you know.
• 1:52:47
  Speaker 2: And again, just last week, we brought this up on Monday,
• 1:52:49
  Speaker 2: this young man in Pennsylvania who killed this beautiful young
• 1:52:53
  Speaker 2: girl on her way to Pennsylvania University on a soccer scholarship.
• 1:52:57
  Speaker 2: He said he heard demons, but he had way too
• 1:53:00
  Speaker 2: much planning. Way too much.
• 1:53:03
  Speaker 13: But yet he also got mad at her because she
• 1:53:05
  Speaker 13: said something.
• 1:53:05
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 1:53:05
  Speaker 13: I mean, I heard demons is a great line in
• 1:53:07
  Speaker 13: there when you have no defense at all.
• 1:53:10
  Speaker 5: You got caught red-handed. Yeah.
• 1:53:12
  Speaker 13: You're disposing of the body, disposing of the evidence. You
• 1:53:14
  Speaker 13: call mommy to help. You know, you had a motive
• 1:53:17
  Speaker 13: because you got angry. You lost your mind. And you
• 1:53:20
  Speaker 13: did some horrible, disgusting, and despicable. So what are you
• 1:53:24
  Speaker 13: going to say? Self-defense? She was scaring me? No. You're
• 1:53:27
  Speaker 13: going to say, oh, I heard demons. Okay. Bingo. So
• 1:53:30
  Speaker 13: now we have insanity. So the problem with that is
• 1:53:32
  Speaker 13: it has to actually develop. forensically. It has to develop
• 1:53:35
  Speaker 13: by a medical doctor who's going to evaluate that. Anyone
• 1:53:39
  Speaker 13: could just say, I heard demons. There's got to be
• 1:53:41
  Speaker 13: outside corroborating proof that there really was something mentally off there. Here,
• 1:53:46
  Speaker 13: I think you have plenty of it, right? I just
• 1:53:47
  Speaker 13: think you have plenty of it. Because the state, the Commonwealth,
• 1:53:50
  Speaker 13: has to prove criminal responsibility beyond a reasonable doubt. And remember,
• 1:53:54
  Speaker 13: that is a massive hurdle in our system. So you
• 1:53:57
  Speaker 13: could think that maybe she was criminally responsible. You could
• 1:54:00
  Speaker 13: think I'm probably certain she was criminally responsible. Sid, maybe
• 1:54:04
  Speaker 13: and probably certain in the criminal justice system equals not guilty.
• 1:54:09
  Speaker 2: Not guilty.
• 1:54:10
  Speaker 13: So remember that. So even if we think, oh, come on,
• 1:54:13
  Speaker 13: That's not enough. I mean, they have to prove this
• 1:54:15
  Speaker 13: case beyond a reasonable doubt. And that's any doubt based
• 1:54:18
  Speaker 13: on reason. If you have one of those, not guilty
• 1:54:20
  Speaker 13: of that count anyway.
• 1:54:22
  Speaker 2: Joe Tacopini, the absolute best. What an amazing appearance today
• 1:54:25
  Speaker 2: between the Army stuff and Lindsey Clancy. God, I love
• 1:54:28
  Speaker 2: you so much. Nobody better. But that was great, Joe.
• 1:54:30
  Speaker 2: Have a great weekend. Thank you, God. You are the best.
• 1:54:33
  Speaker 2: How great was that? Joseph Tacopini on the Army and
• 1:54:36
  Speaker 2: Lindsey Clancy. That's my guy. Going on 49 years. Two
• 1:54:40
  Speaker 2: of us in the polyglot the old poly prep annual yearbook.
• 1:54:45
  Speaker 2: You've heard this a million times before. You're going to
• 1:54:46
  Speaker 2: hear it again. Two of us, it was either the
• 1:54:49
  Speaker 2: sixth or seventh grade. I forget exactly which one. Danny
• 1:54:53
  Speaker 2: Pagliano may know. Gary Hanna may know. We were voted,
• 1:54:58
  Speaker 2: Takapina and Rosenberg, the two least likely, least likely to succeed.
• 1:55:08
  Speaker 2: And now he's the best defense attorney in the world.
• 1:55:11
  Speaker 2: And I'm the best radio voice in the world. That's
• 1:55:14
  Speaker 2: a pretty good call back in sixth or seventh grade.
• 1:55:17
  Speaker 2: They were all over that one. All over that one.
• 1:55:19
  Speaker 2: In the meantime, all those people that said that about me,
• 1:55:22
  Speaker 2: they're either in prison, dead, or running, you know, dessert
• 1:55:25
  Speaker 2: shops somewhere, basically. You know what I'm saying, Lou, right?
• 1:55:28
  Speaker 4: So at least you're not vindictive about it.
• 1:55:31
  Speaker 2: That's good.
• 1:55:32
  Speaker 4: Is there anybody you want to spit in the face
• 1:55:35
  Speaker 4: of right now?
• 1:55:35
  Speaker 2: I've maintained that resentment for a long time. I forgive
• 1:55:39
  Speaker 2: every time. I'm the nicest guy you'll ever meet. You
• 1:55:41
  Speaker 2: know that. I do know that. But I never forget.
• 1:55:44
  Speaker 4: They could still be mutually exclusive.
• 1:55:46
  Speaker 2: I forgive. I don't forget. I don't forget. So I'm
• 1:55:50
  Speaker 2: a nice guy. Look, I'm old. I'm going to be
• 1:55:53
  Speaker 2: 60 in April. I hate altercation. I hate confrontation. I
• 1:55:59
  Speaker 2: don't like it. I come on the air and I
• 1:56:01
  Speaker 2: beat the living daylights out of people. I do because
• 1:56:03
  Speaker 2: they're bad people. They're bad people. And someone's got to
• 1:56:06
  Speaker 2: do it. Someone has to do it. And I'm not afraid.
• 1:56:10
  Speaker 2: I'm not afraid to get punched across the face. It's
• 1:56:12
  Speaker 2: happened to me a million times. I managed to hit
• 1:56:14
  Speaker 2: every single step at the palladium when somebody punched me
• 1:56:18
  Speaker 2: in the face at the very top of the stairs.
• 1:56:20
  Speaker 2: I managed to hit every single step. I'm not afraid.
• 1:56:24
  Speaker 2: So here for these four hours, I mess with everybody.
• 1:56:29
  Speaker 2: But once it's over, well, I have Twitter too. That's
• 1:56:32
  Speaker 2: another issue. I got to work on that. But otherwise,
• 1:56:34
  Speaker 2: I'm a nice guy. I don't You know what I'm saying, Lou?
• 1:56:37
  Speaker 2: I mean, you're with me? Come on.
• 1:56:38
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I have agreed twice. I know you're a nice guy. Yes.
• 1:56:43
  Speaker 2: But I get angry about certain things, but I do
• 1:56:45
  Speaker 2: remember people who said you'd amount to nothing. I mean,
• 1:56:48
  Speaker 2: I'm going to do this quickly. We went for dinner
• 1:56:51
  Speaker 2: one time in Boca Raton many years ago, Danielle and I,
• 1:56:53
  Speaker 2: and I was really having a difficult time. I was.
• 1:56:55
  Speaker 2: And I wasn't doing very well, and people knew it.
• 1:56:59
  Speaker 2: And somebody at the dinner table actually basically said, your
• 1:57:01
  Speaker 2: husband's a loser. I know he's doing radio, but he's
• 1:57:05
  Speaker 2: a loser, and You know, what are you going to do,
• 1:57:08
  Speaker 2: you know? And she got upset at dinner. Then I
• 1:57:12
  Speaker 2: got upset. Don't get upset. Who cares what he says?
• 1:57:14
  Speaker 2: He's a loser. But she loves me, and she got upset,
• 1:57:17
  Speaker 2: you know. And I remember that guy, and she remembers
• 1:57:20
  Speaker 2: that guy very, very well because as tough as I
• 1:57:23
  Speaker 2: can be, Danielle's a heck of a lot tougher. So
• 1:57:25
  Speaker 2: I just don't forget.
• 1:57:26
  Speaker 13: She's beautiful.
• 1:57:27
  Speaker 2: Scarier, yeah. Yeah, no question.
• 1:57:29
  Speaker 4: A few-crosser.
• 1:57:30
  Speaker 2: Don't do that. We're done for this hour.
• 1:57:32
  Speaker 4: How are things going, Danielle?
• 1:57:33
  Speaker 8: Good?
• 1:57:33
  Speaker 4: All right, good. I'll get that for you.
• 1:57:37
  Speaker 2: I want you to be nice. Thank you very much.
• 1:57:40
  Speaker 2: I'll do that. Until it's time. Until it's time. To
• 1:57:42
  Speaker 2: not be nice. That's right. Okay, about an hour to go.
• 1:57:45
  Speaker 2: Lou Rapinoe, we'll take a quick break. Come back. We've
• 1:57:47
  Speaker 2: got the news. Janice Dean's going to stop by. Sid
• 1:57:50
  Speaker 2: and Friends in.
• 1:57:52
  Speaker 1: The Morning on the Red Apple Podcast Network.
• 1:57:56
  Speaker 2: I enjoyed it for a while living in the city
• 1:57:58
  Speaker 2: and had a doorman and all that was great. But
• 1:58:00
  Speaker 2: I love my own house. I do. But man, does
• 1:58:02
  Speaker 2: it become expensive? I don't care. It just becomes it's
• 1:58:06
  Speaker 2: one thing after another. And now we're in the midst
• 1:58:08
  Speaker 2: of a huge job. huge job. Some of my bricks
• 1:58:13
  Speaker 2: not pointed correctly and literally moving away from the house.
• 1:58:18
  Speaker 2: We get leaks all the time. You guys know this.
• 1:58:20
  Speaker 2: It's been a disaster. At one point, we had to
• 1:58:22
  Speaker 2: move out for six months because all my pipes burst.
• 1:58:26
  Speaker 2: So while my house is gorgeous and we love the neighborhood,
• 1:58:30
  Speaker 2: we do. Most of the people, 99% are great. Couple
• 1:58:33
  Speaker 2: of assholes, but that's fine. They don't bother me. We
• 1:58:36
  Speaker 2: love it there. It has become very expensive to live there.
• 1:58:40
  Speaker 2: So my buddy, Rich Clift is the guy that keeps
• 1:58:42
  Speaker 2: working on my house. He rebuilt the house after the
• 1:58:45
  Speaker 2: water damage. And now he's taking out all these bricks
• 1:58:48
  Speaker 2: and basically rebuilding it again. Rich Clift, a lot of money.
• 1:58:52
  Speaker 2: And Joe from right way with the, uh, You know,
• 1:58:55
  Speaker 2: with the dumpster, it's a lot of money. Everything's a
• 1:58:57
  Speaker 2: lot of money. Everything's a lot of money. Doesn't matter
• 1:59:00
  Speaker 2: how much they love me. I love the show. It's
• 1:59:02
  Speaker 2: a lot of money, but we got to do it.
• 1:59:04
  Speaker 2: I mean, the house is like literally coming apart. So
• 1:59:07
  Speaker 2: all you guys out there, especially you, which cliff, thank
• 1:59:10
  Speaker 2: you for working hard. It is loud too, man. That
• 1:59:13
  Speaker 2: work is loud. They're bashing. And I don't know. It's just,
• 1:59:19
  Speaker 2: it's expensive. You know, you guys both live in apartments.
• 1:59:21
  Speaker 2: So I guess to that respect, you're kind of lucky.
• 1:59:24
  Speaker 4: I mean, the grass is always greener, so while I
• 1:59:27
  Speaker 4: appreciate when I hear this, I always appreciate, ah, just
• 1:59:31
  Speaker 4: go home.
• 1:59:31
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 1:59:32
  Speaker 5: Fresh.
• 1:59:32
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 1:59:33
  Speaker 5: That's it.
• 1:59:34
  Speaker 9: Right.
• 1:59:36
  Speaker 4: Positives and negatives to everything, you know.
• 1:59:38
  Speaker 2: Well, it got weird for me when I started to
• 1:59:40
  Speaker 2: gain some real popularity in New York and I'd have
• 1:59:42
  Speaker 2: to go into a building and wait for the elevator
• 1:59:46
  Speaker 2: and I'd talk to people, you know.
• 1:59:48
  Speaker 4: Oh, that's what I can't stand either.
• 1:59:49
  Speaker 2: Like, I go home, I go home. These people would
• 1:59:52
  Speaker 2: just talk my ear off. And the last place I
• 1:59:54
  Speaker 2: lived was the Upper West Side in New York City
• 1:59:57
  Speaker 2: and they hated me.
• 1:59:58
  Speaker 4: Well, you had an extreme version of people you don't want.
• 2:00:01
  Speaker 13: To talk to.
• 2:00:02
  Speaker 2: Well, I thought the people liked you, actually.
• 2:00:04
  Speaker 4: No, I don't care about that. It's the fact that
• 2:00:08
  Speaker 4: some of them are old and they should not be
• 2:00:12
  Speaker 4: by themselves. And you're like, okay, I just want to
• 2:00:15
  Speaker 4: get up to my.
• 2:00:17
  Speaker 7: Apartment.
• 2:00:17
  Speaker 4: Now you're waiting. Then we have this thing where... Okay,
• 2:00:21
  Speaker 4: we don't have a doorman or anything. So you can
• 2:00:25
  Speaker 4: be letting in people that shouldn't be in.
• 2:00:28
  Speaker 2: So you're building. That's no good.
• 2:00:29
  Speaker 8: No.
• 2:00:30
  Speaker 4: So do you know how many countless meetings there have been?
• 2:00:34
  Speaker 4: And I don't get involved in these. Like, okay, here's
• 2:00:36
  Speaker 4: the new thing. Don't let anybody in that you don't know.
• 2:00:39
  Speaker 2: Makes sense.
• 2:00:40
  Speaker 10: Right.
• 2:00:41
  Speaker 4: But people still do it.
• 2:00:42
  Speaker 2: I know.
• 2:00:42
  Speaker 4: Because they're knocking on the thing and you're looking at
• 2:00:44
  Speaker 4: them like, I don't know who the heck you are.
• 2:00:46
  Speaker 4: You're not coming in here.
• 2:00:47
  Speaker 27: Yeah.
• 2:00:47
  Speaker 4: We've had packages stolen. People almost assaulted.
• 2:00:51
  Speaker 2: Oh my God. Yeah.
• 2:00:52
  Speaker 4: So it's a problem.
• 2:00:53
  Speaker 2: Big problem.
• 2:00:55
  Speaker 4: And my building has a couple of morons in it
• 2:01:00
  Speaker 4: who have, we've had work done and we've had the
• 2:01:03
  Speaker 4: door fixed. And when it takes too long and it
• 2:01:06
  Speaker 4: doesn't go to their liking, guess what they do? They
• 2:01:09
  Speaker 4: don't stay in house. They call 3-1-1.
• 2:01:12
  Speaker 2: Oh my God.
• 2:01:14
  Speaker 4: Do you want to guess what that takes?
• 2:01:16
  Speaker 2: How long?
• 2:01:17
  Speaker 4: They put a stop to the project. Because these idiots
• 2:01:21
  Speaker 4: in the building don't understand what that means to call 3-1-1.
• 2:01:25
  Speaker 4: So 3-1-1 calls the company. This is a work stoppage
• 2:01:29
  Speaker 4: until we can investigate what.
• 2:01:31
  Speaker 2: You're doing wrong.
• 2:01:31
  Speaker 4: Now, that's a month to two months.
• 2:01:33
  Speaker 12: Oh, God.
• 2:01:33
  Speaker 4: So they stop the procedure.
• 2:01:35
  Speaker 12: Yeah.
• 2:01:35
  Speaker 4: Then it starts again and somebody else calls 3-1-1.
• 2:01:39
  Speaker 2: No, no good. This is no good.
• 2:01:40
  Speaker 15: I'm telling you.
• 2:01:40
  Speaker 2: This is no good.
• 2:01:42
  Speaker 4: There are morons in my building.
• 2:01:44
  Speaker 27: Yeah.
• 2:01:44
  Speaker 2: Well, I think every building. I think every building.
• 2:01:47
  Speaker 4: You just call the superintendent or the company, the guy
• 2:01:52
  Speaker 4: who runs the building.
• 2:01:53
  Speaker 9: Sure.
• 2:01:53
  Speaker 4: That's all you have to do. That doesn't take a
• 2:01:56
  Speaker 4: degree in cold fusion. But these idiots, oh, there's a problem.
• 2:02:01
  Speaker 4: I'm going to call 311.
• 2:02:02
  Speaker 2: How long have you lived in that building? That specific building.
• 2:02:06
  Speaker 2: Long time, right?
• 2:02:07
  Speaker 4: MJ's had it since 06. Oh, wow.
• 2:02:09
  Speaker 2: 20 years.
• 2:02:10
  Speaker 30: Yeah.
• 2:02:10
  Speaker 4: So we were back and forth in Woodside. She's kept it.
• 2:02:12
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 2:02:12
  Speaker 4: And then we lived in Woodside. Then we went back
• 2:02:14
  Speaker 4: in there when I was forced out.
• 2:02:15
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 2:02:16
  Speaker 4: And but I have never I have never lived with
• 2:02:20
  Speaker 4: the the elevator they've called on that got stopped. Our
• 2:02:23
  Speaker 4: terraces have now been closed for about three years now.
• 2:02:28
  Speaker 2: I don't know about all this. I know. Trust me.
• 2:02:30
  Speaker 4: I haven't been able to use my terrace.
• 2:02:32
  Speaker 2: My sister, my mother and sister, they had condominiums in
• 2:02:35
  Speaker 2: South Florida and they shut the pool down. Shut the pool.
• 2:02:40
  Speaker 4: They haven't had.
• 2:02:41
  Speaker 2: A pool down there in their big buildings, big, beautiful
• 2:02:45
  Speaker 2: buildings on the water, Aventura. Haven't had a pool for
• 2:02:49
  Speaker 2: three years. Now, my brother-in-law bought a house, Albert, in
• 2:02:52
  Speaker 2: Parkland anyway, Sherry. It's a gorgeous house. So they're out
• 2:02:55
  Speaker 2: of there. But for like three years, they never had
• 2:02:57
  Speaker 2: a pool.
• 2:02:58
  Speaker 4: Why? Because of an issue?
• 2:03:00
  Speaker 2: There was an issue with the pool and they didn't
• 2:03:01
  Speaker 2: fix it for three years. So if I visited them,
• 2:03:04
  Speaker 2: I went to the beach in Hallandale. It's ridiculous. And
• 2:03:08
  Speaker 2: when I lived in that Upper West Side apartment, my
• 2:03:10
  Speaker 2: last apartment, right on, I guess it was, what is
• 2:03:15
  Speaker 2: it called? West End or I guess West End, between
• 2:03:18
  Speaker 2: 104th and 105th. We lived on the 14th floor. The
• 2:03:22
  Speaker 2: elevator was always broken, always. So back then, I used
• 2:03:27
  Speaker 2: to shop at Gristiti's on 103rd and Broadway. I would
• 2:03:31
  Speaker 2: buy my groceries at Gristiti's, have to walk it over
• 2:03:34
  Speaker 2: to East End Avenue, I guess, on 104th, and then
• 2:03:38
  Speaker 2: walk it 14 flights up to my apartment. So I
• 2:03:43
  Speaker 2: would always text them and go, hey, I'm taking money
• 2:03:46
  Speaker 2: off the rent this month. No, you're not. Even COVID.
• 2:03:49
  Speaker 2: During COVID, I said, you're not getting the same amount
• 2:03:51
  Speaker 2: of rent.
• 2:03:51
  Speaker 7: Sorry.
• 2:03:52
  Speaker 2: And they did accept that. They had no choice. Plus,
• 2:03:54
  Speaker 2: I took the whole gym from the basement, put it
• 2:03:56
  Speaker 2: in my apartment. Swear to God. Literally took the whole gym.
• 2:04:00
  Speaker 2: You walked inside my apartment. There was a weight bench.
• 2:04:03
  Speaker 2: There were weights everywhere. I'm like, listen, you shut the gym.
• 2:04:06
  Speaker 2: No one's using it. It's closed because of COVID. I'm
• 2:04:09
  Speaker 2: going to use it. And when I'm done, I'll put
• 2:04:10
  Speaker 2: it back. Even with the reduction in price during COVID,
• 2:04:14
  Speaker 2: I still spent the most. It was just impossible. The
• 2:04:18
  Speaker 2: elevator was always broken. Always. They promised me a sunroof.
• 2:04:22
  Speaker 2: I lived there for three years. Never got a sunroof.
• 2:04:24
  Speaker 2: We're working on it.
• 2:04:25
  Speaker 4: Plus there's maintenance fees you're paying.
• 2:04:27
  Speaker 7: I know.
• 2:04:27
  Speaker 4: You're paying maintenance fees.
• 2:04:29
  Speaker 2: Up the ass. Outrageous.
• 2:04:31
  Speaker 4: And I tell MJ, just cut it. Cut it.
• 2:04:34
  Speaker 2: We own these.
• 2:04:35
  Speaker 4: We're supposed to have terrace access.
• 2:04:37
  Speaker 2: Of course.
• 2:04:38
  Speaker 4: If you want to hire a company that takes three
• 2:04:42
  Speaker 4: damn years to fix this, all the terraces, then the...
• 2:04:46
  Speaker 4: The price should go down.
• 2:04:47
  Speaker 33: 100%.
• 2:04:47
  Speaker 2: Of course.
• 2:04:49
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 2:04:49
  Speaker 7: Of course.
• 2:04:49
  Speaker 2: But it doesn't. No chance.
• 2:04:52
  Speaker 4: Things go up.
• 2:04:53
  Speaker 2: We've got a big charity about to take place in
• 2:04:57
  Speaker 2: the city. Our dear friend Janice Dean, she was on
• 2:05:00
  Speaker 2: a couple of weeks ago. She's raising money for nursing homes.
• 2:05:03
  Speaker 2: She's going to tell us about this big charity she
• 2:05:06
  Speaker 2: has coming up, I believe, next week. It may be Monday.
• 2:05:09
  Speaker 2: And how you get involved. Our old buddy from Fox
• 2:05:11
  Speaker 2: News and the Imus in the Morning Show.
• 2:05:14
  Speaker 10: Sid and Friends in the Morning on the Red Apple
• 2:05:18
  Speaker 10: Podcast Network.
• 2:05:20
  Speaker 2: Our great friend, the very talented Janice Dean. Janice, you
• 2:05:23
  Speaker 2: are Canadian. Are you a big Neil Young fan?
• 2:05:26
  Speaker 17: That's a terrible Neil Young song.
• 2:05:28
  Speaker 8: Oh, yeah.
• 2:05:30
  Speaker 2: What do you like? Do you like Harvest Moon? What
• 2:05:32
  Speaker 2: do you like? What's your.
• 2:05:33
  Speaker 17: You know, he's fine. He did a good job when
• 2:05:37
  Speaker 17: he was with Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young.
• 2:05:39
  Speaker 2: He did that. He wrote that song, too, which was
• 2:05:42
  Speaker 2: good with the.
• 2:05:44
  Speaker 2: 25-year commemoration of 9-11 coming up. He wrote that song
• 2:05:47
  Speaker 2: about United Flight 93 passengers. Let's roll. Remember that?
• 2:05:52
  Speaker 9: I do.
• 2:05:52
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 2:05:53
  Speaker 17: A wonderful song by Neil Young. I'm a Rush fan.
• 2:05:57
  Speaker 17: And I love that they're touring. And I was a
• 2:06:01
  Speaker 17: little worried because I thought, how can they tour without
• 2:06:04
  Speaker 17: Neil Peart? I mean, how is that possible? I was
• 2:06:07
  Speaker 17: actually mad at them. But this drummer that is subbing
• 2:06:13
  Speaker 17: in for the great Neil Peart, who we lost to young,
• 2:06:17
  Speaker 17: she's fantastic.
• 2:06:18
  Speaker 7: She is.
• 2:06:19
  Speaker 17: Good for Rush.
• 2:06:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Lou said that. Lou said she was really good.
• 2:06:22
  Speaker 2: And we play Rush here all the time. We love Limelight.
• 2:06:24
  Speaker 2: And don't forget, The song that you're all favorite, the
• 2:06:28
  Speaker 2: I-Man used every morning to start his show, Tom Sawyer
• 2:06:31
  Speaker 2: by Rush.
• 2:06:32
  Speaker 9: Right.
• 2:06:33
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 2:06:33
  Speaker 17: You know what, Sid? It's 24 years ago, I think
• 2:06:38
  Speaker 17: this week, that I was doing my auditions for I-Miss
• 2:06:42
  Speaker 17: in the Morning.
• 2:06:42
  Speaker 2: Do you believe that? Is that right? Yeah, I do
• 2:06:45
  Speaker 2: believe that.
• 2:06:45
  Speaker 17: Because I got the job the first week of September.
• 2:06:48
  Speaker 2: The year after 9-11, so it would have been 2002
• 2:06:53
  Speaker 2: you got the job with I-Miss.
• 2:06:54
  Speaker 5: 2002.
• 2:06:54
  Speaker 2: And then when did you get the Fox News? When
• 2:06:56
  Speaker 2: was that?
• 2:06:57
  Speaker 17: That was 2004, January of 2004. So I was with
• 2:07:01
  Speaker 17: you guys for like a year and a couple of months.
• 2:07:04
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 2:07:04
  Speaker 17: The longest year of my life. Many, many thousands of
• 2:07:17
  Speaker 17: dollars in therapy.
• 2:07:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I get it. Trust me. I'm right there with you.
• 2:07:21
  Speaker 2: But it did prepare you for the real world. Let's
• 2:07:24
  Speaker 2: put it that way.
• 2:07:24
  Speaker 17: And it brought us together.
• 2:07:26
  Speaker 2: Brought us together. That's right.
• 2:07:28
  Speaker 17: And Lou and Janice again.
• 2:07:29
  Speaker 2: Come on. How about that?
• 2:07:30
  Speaker 4: Where's my therapy?
• 2:07:33
  Speaker 2: You get it every morning right here with me, Louis,
• 2:07:35
  Speaker 2: as you know.
• 2:07:36
  Speaker 5: That's right.
• 2:07:37
  Speaker 17: And, of course, we miss Bernard. We love you, Bernard.
• 2:07:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we love Bernie, of course. Bernie's going to be gone.
• 2:07:44
  Speaker 2: November will be, is it four years already? Four years.
• 2:07:47
  Speaker 2: Maybe five.
• 2:07:47
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 2:07:48
  Speaker 2: Four in November. Yeah, four in November.
• 2:07:51
  Speaker 17: Do you think him and the I-Man are, like, having
• 2:07:54
  Speaker 17: fun up there?
• 2:07:54
  Speaker 5: No doubt.
• 2:07:55
  Speaker 2: No doubt. You can count on that. You can count
• 2:07:57
  Speaker 2: on that, Bernard and the I-Man. Is Ahmed?
• 2:08:00
  Speaker 17: Heaven?
• 2:08:01
  Speaker 2: I don't know. He did a lot of good things.
• 2:08:03
  Speaker 2: I mean, you know, kids with cancer.
• 2:08:07
  Speaker 17: I've softened over the years.
• 2:08:08
  Speaker 2: Me too.
• 2:08:09
  Speaker 17: I really have. You know what? He brought me to
• 2:08:11
  Speaker 17: New York. He's the one. Well, I don't know. I
• 2:08:14
  Speaker 17: don't know if he loved me. I think it was just.
• 2:08:17
  Speaker 2: Hold on. Who's got something?
• 2:08:19
  Speaker 7: Wait, wait, wait.
• 2:08:20
  Speaker 4: Straighten this out. Recall who fought for you.
• 2:08:25
  Speaker 2: Who?
• 2:08:26
  Speaker 17: I know you did.
• 2:08:26
  Speaker 4: Lou, I know that.
• 2:08:28
  Speaker 17: I know you thought I was the dark Canadian horse.
• 2:08:31
  Speaker 4: I said it right away.
• 2:08:32
  Speaker 17: And I had no chance in a double hockey stick.
• 2:08:38
  Speaker 4: I said she is the best.
• 2:08:39
  Speaker 2: He did. Lou was the one.
• 2:08:41
  Speaker 13: Yeah.
• 2:08:41
  Speaker 2: I mean, Bernie had nice things to say, too. But
• 2:08:43
  Speaker 2: Lou was the one who really brought you across the
• 2:08:46
  Speaker 2: finish line. I'm the same way. I've softened, too. In fact,
• 2:08:48
  Speaker 2: you're not going to believe this, but I talked to
• 2:08:50
  Speaker 2: Deirdre and Wyatt. Once in a while, they've congratulated me
• 2:08:52
  Speaker 2: on making the Hall of Fame and the whole thing.
• 2:08:54
  Speaker 2: And I do admit that a lot of the influence
• 2:08:58
  Speaker 2: on my career, which has gone well, came from Imus.
• 2:09:01
  Speaker 2: So the longer he's gone, the more I like him.
• 2:09:05
  Speaker 2: It is what it is.
• 2:09:07
  Speaker 17: I think I should have stood up for myself more.
• 2:09:09
  Speaker 17: And who knows? Maybe I would have, you know, stayed
• 2:09:12
  Speaker 17: with you guys. I'm not sure.
• 2:09:13
  Speaker 9: That's hindsight.
• 2:09:14
  Speaker 2: You just don't know. Who knows? A long time ago,
• 2:09:16
  Speaker 2: of course. But look, you're doing great things now. And
• 2:09:19
  Speaker 2: I know that you've got a big charity coming up.
• 2:09:21
  Speaker 2: This sounds like it's going to be great. All those
• 2:09:24
  Speaker 2: beautiful clothes you wore on Fox News every morning out
• 2:09:27
  Speaker 2: there with the fans and doing the weather and all
• 2:09:29
  Speaker 2: that fun stuff. You're about to auction all that stuff off.
• 2:09:33
  Speaker 2: Is that right? Yes.
• 2:09:34
  Speaker 17: So on Tuesday, September 1st at the Harrison in Floral Park,
• 2:09:39
  Speaker 17: I am I have to tell you, I think I've
• 2:09:41
  Speaker 17: hoarded a lot of these clothes. Like people are like,
• 2:09:43
  Speaker 17: why did you save all of that stuff? And the
• 2:09:45
  Speaker 17: reason is because when I find something that fits me,
• 2:09:48
  Speaker 17: I keep it and I buy like five of them.
• 2:09:51
  Speaker 17: So I have like. Hundreds of dresses and coats that
• 2:09:56
  Speaker 17: I wore outside doing the weather and skirts and belts
• 2:10:00
  Speaker 17: and jewelry that I'm giving to charity basically for under
• 2:10:04
  Speaker 17: every piece will be under 50. I would say like
• 2:10:07
  Speaker 17: dresses 15 to 25. And some of these coats are
• 2:10:09
  Speaker 17: probably 400, $ 500. And all of the money, every single
• 2:10:14
  Speaker 17: penny of it is going to go to a cause
• 2:10:16
  Speaker 17: nursing home warrior. And this woman goes across New York
• 2:10:20
  Speaker 17: and brings pop-ups, shops to nursing homes so that the people,
• 2:10:24
  Speaker 17: the residents can come down and shop for free. She's
• 2:10:27
  Speaker 17: an angel here on earth. So all of the clothes
• 2:10:29
  Speaker 17: that I wore on television going to this great cause,
• 2:10:32
  Speaker 17: the Harrison on Tuesday, nothing over $ 50. hundreds of items.
• 2:10:38
  Speaker 17: Hugs are for free. There is an admission charge, but
• 2:10:41
  Speaker 17: open bar and also lots of hors d'oeuvres. And listen,
• 2:10:46
  Speaker 17: I know you got a lot of male fans out
• 2:10:48
  Speaker 17: there listening. Buy the ticket for your wife. She will
• 2:10:51
  Speaker 17: love you. This is a great present for your wife.
• 2:10:54
  Speaker 2: You'd be surprised. 48% of my listeners are female, believe
• 2:10:58
  Speaker 2: it or not.
• 2:10:58
  Speaker 17: Go girl!
• 2:10:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah, this isn't the fam. We're not talking about the
• 2:11:02
  Speaker 2: Mets and the Yankees, okay? We're talking about something Moms
• 2:11:04
  Speaker 2: care about and females love and plus I'm so good looking.
• 2:11:08
  Speaker 2: They love this show. You kidding me? They love it.
• 2:11:10
  Speaker 2: But this specific event, this woman that you're talking about,
• 2:11:13
  Speaker 2: my God, what is her name? Who is this lady?
• 2:11:15
  Speaker 2: She's amazing.
• 2:11:17
  Speaker 17: She's amazing. Her name is Danielle, and she has been
• 2:11:22
  Speaker 17: in nursing homes for 35 years. She's a nutritionist. You
• 2:11:26
  Speaker 17: should have her on your program. She started this charity
• 2:11:30
  Speaker 17: because she realized that a lot of these residents don't
• 2:11:33
  Speaker 17: have visitors, don't have family, and they barely get stipends
• 2:11:38
  Speaker 17: for clothing. So she goes in and she gets clothes
• 2:11:41
  Speaker 17: from all over the place, from big chains. and barely
• 2:11:46
  Speaker 17: use clothes and they go in and they think they
• 2:11:48
  Speaker 17: have to pay for these items and they're for free.
• 2:11:52
  Speaker 17: So she's just amazing. Her cause is nursing home warrior,
• 2:11:56
  Speaker 17: lots of volunteers, but it just warms my heart because
• 2:12:00
  Speaker 17: I lost my in-laws in nursing homes during the pandemic.
• 2:12:04
  Speaker 17: So I'm trying to give back to all of those
• 2:12:08
  Speaker 17: residents that some of them are left behind and we
• 2:12:11
  Speaker 17: have to love them too.
• 2:12:13
  Speaker 2: Let me ask you this. How many boats, Janice Dean,
• 2:12:18
  Speaker 2: did Christopher Columbus use? Shut up, Lou. In 1492, in
• 2:12:25
  Speaker 2: his courageous trip when he found America. How many boats?
• 2:12:32
  Speaker 17: You're asking me trivia right now?
• 2:12:33
  Speaker 2: Yes, I am. Well, you've heard of the Nina, correct?
• 2:12:38
  Speaker 17: I'm thinking it was one boat.
• 2:12:39
  Speaker 13: No.
• 2:12:40
  Speaker 2: You've heard of the Nina, yes?
• 2:12:40
  Speaker 12: Yes.
• 2:12:42
  Speaker 17: Sure.
• 2:12:42
  Speaker 2: You've heard of the Pinta?
• 2:12:43
  Speaker 5: Yes?
• 2:12:45
  Speaker 17: Nope.
• 2:12:46
  Speaker 26: Oh, wow.
• 2:12:46
  Speaker 2: You see it from Canada.
• 2:12:49
  Speaker 10: Oh, my God.
• 2:12:49
  Speaker 17: I thought you were going to ask me questions about Canada.
• 2:12:51
  Speaker 2: No, because there were three boats. The Nina, the Pinta,
• 2:12:57
  Speaker 2: and the Santa Maria. Those were the three boats.
• 2:13:00
  Speaker 17: I knew the Santa Maria.
• 2:13:02
  Speaker 2: Listen, those are the three boats that Christopher Columbus used
• 2:13:08
  Speaker 2: on his courageous trek when he found America in 1492.
• 2:13:11
  Speaker 2: Three boats. Three boats unless you ask one man. Are
• 2:13:17
  Speaker 2: you prepared to listen to this?
• 2:13:19
  Speaker 17: Of course. I won a prize.
• 2:13:21
  Speaker 2: No, you're not going to win a prize. But you're
• 2:13:25
  Speaker 2: going to be like, oh, my God. Cut number one.
• 2:13:26
  Speaker 2: Go ahead, Lou.
• 2:13:27
  Speaker 7: Does it piss you off when people try to... On Columbus?
• 2:13:31
  Speaker 7: Like Native Americans and stuff?
• 2:13:33
  Speaker 5: Christopher Columbus, right?
• 2:13:35
  Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah.
• 2:13:35
  Speaker 5: He was a degenerate. He had his problems.
• 2:13:39
  Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah.
• 2:13:39
  Speaker 5: He had his eccentricities.
• 2:13:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 2:13:41
  Speaker 5: He was Jewish. Did you know that?
• 2:13:43
  Speaker 7: It's actually fake.
• 2:13:45
  Speaker 5: No, no.
• 2:13:45
  Speaker 7: They try to say he's.
• 2:13:46
  Speaker 5: Jewish, but he's not. No, he had a brush. Trust me.
• 2:13:49
  Speaker 5: He had to drop his drawers to prove that. He
• 2:13:51
  Speaker 5: had a brisk.
• 2:13:51
  Speaker 13: Come on.
• 2:13:52
  Speaker 7: Some people just like that style.
• 2:13:53
  Speaker 5: You know, back then.
• 2:13:53
  Speaker 7: People like a hoodless style.
• 2:13:55
  Speaker 11: You know, why do you think he had to escape
• 2:13:57
  Speaker 11: Spain in 1492 when.
• 2:13:58
  Speaker 12: Queen Isabella and King Ferdinand launched the Inquisition on your
• 2:14:04
  Speaker 12: people and said either convert or die? And he decided
• 2:14:07
  Speaker 12: to leave with the Nina, the Pinta, the Santa, and
• 2:14:09
  Speaker 12: the Maria.
• 2:14:10
  Speaker 7: Well, there's three, actually, the Santa and the Maria.
• 2:14:12
  Speaker 5: No, no, you're wrong.
• 2:14:13
  Speaker 7: No, no, Santa Maria was the third one.
• 2:14:14
  Speaker 5: The Nina, the Pinta, the Santa, and the Maria.
• 2:14:17
  Speaker 7: The Nina, the Pinta, and the Santa Maria.
• 2:14:19
  Speaker 5: That's right. Four of the chefs.
• 2:14:20
  Speaker 2: No, no.
• 2:14:20
  Speaker 5: Three of them made it. Yeah.
• 2:14:22
  Speaker 2: Not true.
• 2:14:22
  Speaker 5: As he went.
• 2:14:23
  Speaker 14: Oh, so he called one the Santa Maria after one lot.
• 2:14:26
  Speaker 14: He combined the names?
• 2:14:29
  Speaker 5: Excuse me?
• 2:14:29
  Speaker 7: Nothing.
• 2:14:31
  Speaker 8: Are you trying to instruct me on the hero of
• 2:14:34
  Speaker 8: my peeps, Christopher Columbus?
• 2:14:35
  Speaker 15: I thought you, so you're Jewish. No, he is Jewish.
• 2:14:40
  Speaker 2: So I don't know who this guy is. His name
• 2:14:41
  Speaker 2: is Andrew Friedman, but I know you recognize the other voice.
• 2:14:44
  Speaker 2: I know you love him. That's fine. I don't care.
• 2:14:45
  Speaker 2: I don't dislike him either, but I mean, this moron actually.
• 2:14:51
  Speaker 2: Said there were four boats, and the Santa and Maria
• 2:14:53
  Speaker 2: were different boats. That's the first thing you learn. That's
• 2:14:56
  Speaker 2: the first thing you learn. And he's a smart guy.
• 2:14:58
  Speaker 2: I'm the first to admit it, Janice. No one knows
• 2:15:01
  Speaker 2: more about the history of New York than Curtis.
• 2:15:03
  Speaker 26: Nobody.
• 2:15:03
  Speaker 2: He's a very smart guy. How do you screw that up?
• 2:15:06
  Speaker 2: I don't know. When was that?
• 2:15:09
  Speaker 7: Yesterday.
• 2:15:10
  Speaker 30: No.
• 2:15:11
  Speaker 2: Yes, this week. This week. So he's getting murdered.
• 2:15:15
  Speaker 7: What a joke.
• 2:15:16
  Speaker 2: He wasn't joking. No. He's getting killed all over social media. Like, again,
• 2:15:21
  Speaker 2: I'm the person. I mean, he's a smart guy. He's
• 2:15:24
  Speaker 2: a much smarter history guy than I am. I'll say it.
• 2:15:26
  Speaker 2: He is. But, no, there were three boats, not four,
• 2:15:29
  Speaker 2: in the Santa Maria. It was one boat.
• 2:15:32
  Speaker 17: You know what they say. All press is good press.
• 2:15:36
