• 0:03
  Speaker 2: Entertaining and informative.

  Speaker 1: On the Red Apple Podcast Network. Sid and Friends in
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: the Morning.
• 0:11
  Speaker 3: 77 WABC.
• 0:25
  Speaker 4: I have often walked down.
• 0:29
  Speaker 5: This street before.
• 0:33
  Speaker 6: But the pavement always stayed beneath my feet before.
• 0:38
  Speaker 7: Who's that, Dean Martin? Dean Martin saved my early news career.
• 0:42
  Speaker 7: It was 1995. I was working as a producer of
• 0:49
  Speaker 7: a broadcast in Decatur, Illinois, the W at the ABC
• 0:52
  Speaker 7: station there. And it was Christmas Eve. And I was
• 0:55
  Speaker 7: out of news. I had, it was a one hour broadcast.
• 0:57
  Speaker 7: There was no news. I was in serious trouble. And
• 0:59
  Speaker 7: then it came over the wire that Dean Martin had
• 1:02
  Speaker 7: passed away. And we had a two minute and change
• 1:04
  Speaker 7: obituary all ready to go. Dean Martin died to save
• 1:07
  Speaker 7: my young journalism career. No, just kidding. But that is
• 1:10
  Speaker 7: what happened.
• 1:10
  Speaker 5: We, we have too many deaths lately. Too many. I mean,
• 1:14
  Speaker 5: you know, you see people, you know, and, uh, you
• 1:19
  Speaker 5: see people approaching 80 years old and they start to
• 1:22
  Speaker 5: really worry. And you see people approaching 90, 95, you know,
• 1:26
  Speaker 5: time's up because that switch goes off. That switch goes off.
• 1:31
  Speaker 5: And I forgot the three billionaires that are working on,
• 1:34
  Speaker 5: and maybe we'll have Dr. Michalos on later on, that
• 1:38
  Speaker 5: are working on a, there's a gene in our system,
• 1:44
  Speaker 5: a gene in our system. Guess what? That turns things
• 1:48
  Speaker 5: on and off. There's a younger part of ourselves within
• 1:52
  Speaker 5: our genes. And that switch stops turning on at the
• 1:57
  Speaker 5: age between 90 and 100.
• 1:59
  Speaker 7: Let me ask the two of you, John Casper Deasy
• 2:01
  Speaker 7: and Michael Cohen. Do you believe that some young child
• 2:04
  Speaker 7: walking around here today in America or in another country
• 2:07
  Speaker 7: that's more developed will live to be 105? The first
• 2:10
  Speaker 7: 150-year-old person around.
• 2:11
  Speaker 5: I would say 120 for sure.
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: 120, okay.
• 2:13
  Speaker 5: 120 for sure.
• 2:14
  Speaker 8: I agree with John. They actually believe that right now
• 2:18
  Speaker 8: with AI and with medical technology and the ability to
• 2:23
  Speaker 8: map people's genes, their DNA, deoxyribonucleic acid, which is your structure,
• 2:31
  Speaker 8: that they will be able to prevent all sorts of disease.
• 2:36
  Speaker 8: Look at what they're doing now with pancreatic cancer. Look
• 2:39
  Speaker 8: at what they're doing now with all forms of cancer.
• 2:42
  Speaker 8: They're going to be able to do it. We will
• 2:43
  Speaker 8: see 120. Now, I said to my wife the other day,
• 2:47
  Speaker 8: I'm not joking, I said, I don't want to live
• 2:49
  Speaker 8: to 120. That means you and I would be married
• 2:53
  Speaker 8: for something like 96 years. Mike Kutuba doesn't say 96 years.
• 2:58
  Speaker 7: Is it like a life insurance policy you're going to.
• 3:01
  Speaker 5: Buy out at some point? She says, let me be
• 3:02
  Speaker 5: very clear. She goes, I don't want it either. She goes,
• 3:06
  Speaker 5: you're no prize.
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well.
• 3:09
  Speaker 7: That's I mean, that's another thing. Do we really want
• 3:11
  Speaker 7: to live that long? But I guess, listen, if you
• 3:13
  Speaker 7: have your mental capacities and you're not in pain and
• 3:16
  Speaker 7: you can afford it, sure. But that's a big trifecta.
• 3:20
  Speaker 8: I think it's the last one, which goes back to
• 3:23
  Speaker 8: our previous conversation about being able to afford it, not
• 3:27
  Speaker 8: with a $ 40 trillion deficit, not when every single year,
• 3:31
  Speaker 8: for example, here in New York, we have unfunded pension
• 3:35
  Speaker 8: liability increasing by a billion dollars a year. That's just
• 3:39
  Speaker 8: New York. Imagine what it is around the entire country.
• 3:43
  Speaker 8: We can't afford to live to $ 120 trillion.
• 3:46
  Speaker 5: Well, you know something? Let's worry about it later. I mean,
• 3:51
  Speaker 5: I'd rather live to 120. You know why I want
• 3:55
  Speaker 5: to be around? I want to see my grandkids. I've
• 3:57
  Speaker 5: got two beautiful grandkids. I want to see them getting married.
• 4:01
  Speaker 5: I want to see them get educated. I want to
• 4:05
  Speaker 5: see them living in America. And look. Going back to,
• 4:09
  Speaker 5: and then we'll start on Natalie Harp, and going back
• 4:15
  Speaker 5: to America, if Harris would have gotten, I tell all
• 4:22
  Speaker 5: my Democratic friends, and very few disagree. I was at the,
• 4:27
  Speaker 5: where was I yesterday? The Hampton Classics. My daughter, I
• 4:30
  Speaker 5: took my daughter. She was all dressed up. I was
• 4:33
  Speaker 5: dressed up with a hat. Todd Shapiro was with us.
• 4:37
  Speaker 5: And we got the best parking places in the world.
• 4:39
  Speaker 5: We got a parking place that was right next to
• 4:44
  Speaker 5: the entrance.
• 4:45
  Speaker 7: You're such a dad. It's a big event, and all
• 4:47
  Speaker 7: you can talk about is.
• 4:48
  Speaker 5: The parking space.
• 4:48
  Speaker 9: Could you imagine?
• 4:49
  Speaker 5: Sweetheart, you don't have to walk too far. Don't worry
• 4:52
  Speaker 5: about it. And we were sitting at a table. Abe
• 4:58
  Speaker 5: Wellington's table. And next to me was... Wilbur Ross and
• 5:04
  Speaker 5: his wife, Hillary, and we had a lot of Democrats
• 5:08
  Speaker 5: at the table. But guess what? They all realized that
• 5:16
  Speaker 5: if Harris would have gotten elected, we would not have
• 5:21
  Speaker 5: made 275 years. We got 250 in the bag because
• 5:25
  Speaker 5: of Donald Trump. Okay? But we would not have made
• 5:29
  Speaker 5: 275 years if she was elected. I mean, have you
• 5:33
  Speaker 5: ever seen.
• 5:34
  Speaker 7: She's thinking about running again. It's clear. She's more and
• 5:36
  Speaker 7: more out in the public, John.
• 5:38
  Speaker 5: But the American people have to realize that the Republicans,
• 5:42
  Speaker 5: remember what Mike Pence said, we might be a little
• 5:44
  Speaker 5: bit off. Some of them are a little bit off. Okay?
• 5:47
  Speaker 5: We all know that. But the Democrats have lost their mind.
• 5:53
  Speaker 5: When you start seeing people like AOC... who once again,
• 5:57
  Speaker 5: first she was, then she wasn't, then she was, now
• 6:00
  Speaker 5: she wasn't, now she's back again, signing on to the
• 6:04
  Speaker 5: DSA movement. My friends, you know what we're talking about?
• 6:08
  Speaker 5: And they call themselves democratic socialists. They are not.
• 6:12
  Speaker 8: They are jihadists that are coming, that are taking over major,
• 6:18
  Speaker 8: major parts of our government in order to change things.
• 6:22
  Speaker 8: in all fairness, the Constitution to change our democratic republic.
• 6:27
  Speaker 8: And this is the part where Americans have to turn
• 6:31
  Speaker 8: around and say, absolutely not, not under my watch.
• 6:35
  Speaker 7: You know, AOC was at that rally on Friday, Sharpton,
• 6:40
  Speaker 7: Al Sharpton and Martin Luther King, the third's so-called protect
• 6:44
  Speaker 7: the vote rally, which I found to be incredibly egregious
• 6:47
  Speaker 7: because I want everyone to follow this very quick logic here.
• 6:51
  Speaker 7: The Supreme Court has struck down using race as a
• 6:55
  Speaker 7: criteria to district to congressional district. This is the most
• 6:59
  Speaker 7: liberating thing for black voters in America since the 1964
• 7:03
  Speaker 7: Civil Rights Act and maybe Reconstruction because millions of black
• 7:06
  Speaker 7: voters because of this have suddenly become swing voters. That's
• 7:10
  Speaker 7: what you want to be. They've been in a feudal
• 7:12
  Speaker 7: system for years. And for people like Sharpton to protest this,
• 7:15
  Speaker 7: And Hakeem Jeffries to protest this is very telling because
• 7:18
  Speaker 7: the only losers in this redistricting thing are them. Feudal,
• 7:23
  Speaker 7: I call them feudal, feudal black leaders who never had
• 7:25
  Speaker 7: to worry about ever getting reelected or getting support because
• 7:28
  Speaker 7: they were in these districts that were a foregone conclusion.
• 7:31
  Speaker 7: You don't want to be a foregone. I forgot what
• 7:32
  Speaker 7: movie that's from. I hate being a foregone conclusion. You
• 7:35
  Speaker 7: don't want to be a foregone conclusion. And it showed
• 7:37
  Speaker 7: up already this summer in some of the primaries in Tennessee.
• 7:40
  Speaker 7: There was massive black voter participation.
• 7:42
  Speaker 10: Why?
• 7:43
  Speaker 7: Because they were suddenly voting in primaries that mattered. They
• 7:47
  Speaker 7: are a swing vote. But I want to talk about
• 7:48
  Speaker 7: this Natalie Harp thing because this is getting really ugly.
• 7:52
  Speaker 7: Everyone in the Republican Party, it's not just John Ossoff
• 7:55
  Speaker 7: in Georgia, is deciding that it's fun to make fun
• 7:58
  Speaker 7: of this young woman. All she's doing is doing her job.
• 8:01
  Speaker 7: She's not a political candidate. Her name is Natalie Harp.
• 8:04
  Speaker 7: She's the president's personal assistant. Here's Abdulrahman El-Sayed also jumping
• 8:09
  Speaker 7: on the bash Natalie Hart bandwagon just this weekend.
• 8:12
  Speaker 5: Donald Trump's errand boy.
• 8:15
  Speaker 7: The funny thing is that Donald Trump already has Natalie. Yeah,
• 8:24
  Speaker 7: good for you.
• 8:25
  Speaker 5: But also, I mean, look, somebody said that to me
• 8:29
  Speaker 5: over the weekend, too. And guess what? This lady, she
• 8:34
  Speaker 5: almost died. Does everybody know the story? I don't think
• 8:37
  Speaker 5: people know. Well, let's tell the story.
• 8:40
  Speaker 8: She had stage two bone cancer, Natalie Harp. And Donald Trump,
• 8:47
  Speaker 8: with something that was called the... By executive order. By
• 8:51
  Speaker 8: executive order, the Right to Try Act, ended up saving
• 8:55
  Speaker 8: her life. Now, anybody who knows somebody, I have a
• 8:58
  Speaker 8: friend whose father received a kidney. They're still close, believe
• 9:03
  Speaker 8: it or not, to the person who had made... I
• 9:06
  Speaker 8: had a kidney. Oh, I didn't know that, John.
• 9:08
  Speaker 5: 16 years ago, and the lady, Sharla, is a six-to-six match.
• 9:17
  Speaker 5: You know what a six-to-six match? She must have been
• 9:19
  Speaker 5: my twin sister somewhere in my history. Did you ever
• 9:23
  Speaker 5: ask your father? No, but I'm talking about she used
• 9:27
  Speaker 5: to take care of Margo's dad, and she was a nurse,
• 9:33
  Speaker 5: and when she heard I was sick, She volunteered, and
• 9:36
  Speaker 5: she passed a six-for-six test. Wow, very rare. So 16
• 9:41
  Speaker 5: years later, I'm in perfect shape. And thank you, Sharla.
• 9:47
  Speaker 8: In Natalie's case, the chemotherapy that she was on was failing.
• 9:54
  Speaker 8: And as a result of Trump and the passage of
• 9:57
  Speaker 8: the Chemotherapy almost always fails.
• 10:00
  Speaker 5: I mean, it's poison they're giving you.
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: Yep.
• 10:02
  Speaker 5: Well, she's obviously thankful to him. Very thankful.
• 10:10
  Speaker 8: By the way, who wouldn't be? That's the part that
• 10:13
  Speaker 8: I don't understand. So she writes him, you know, stay strong.
• 10:19
  Speaker 8: I'll always be by your side. She's by his side
• 10:22
  Speaker 8: because of the act that he signed by executive order.
• 10:25
  Speaker 5: She'd be dead.
• 10:26
  Speaker 8: I mean, so I could understand that extended loyalty, but
• 10:33
  Speaker 8: they're exploiting it. They're exploiting the relationship. Why does everything
• 10:39
  Speaker 8: have to become sexual? Why does every single time that
• 10:43
  Speaker 8: somebody is close to him, as you all know, I
• 10:46
  Speaker 8: was close to him, I assure you one thing. It
• 10:48
  Speaker 8: wasn't sexual, right?
• 10:50
  Speaker 7: No one's alleging that, Michael.
• 10:51
  Speaker 11: Don't worry.
• 10:52
  Speaker 8: Well, I appreciate that, Jake. Let me be crystal clear
• 10:55
  Speaker 8: about something. She is loyal to him. He saved her life,
• 11:00
  Speaker 8: plain and simple. And they're exploiting it in order to
• 11:03
  Speaker 8: dirty a relationship so that nobody wants to be around Trump.
• 11:06
  Speaker 5: That's what they're hoping.
• 11:08
  Speaker 7: You had a scoop because apparently, according to a guest
• 11:11
  Speaker 7: you had on your podcast, this entire attack on Natalie
• 11:16
  Speaker 7: Harp is being helped by people inside, some of the
• 11:18
  Speaker 7: people inside the White House who are probably, I guess,
• 11:20
  Speaker 7: jealous of her. So this is Michael Cohen with Laura
• 11:23
  Speaker 7: Loomer exposing this.
• 11:24
  Speaker 5: Why do you think Natalie's become such a target?
• 11:27
  Speaker 8: And at what point does legitimate criticism simply become an
• 11:31
  Speaker 8: unfair and a vicious personal attack?
• 11:34
  Speaker 12: Well, Michael, I think what people need to understand is
• 11:37
  Speaker 12: that all of these attacks against Natalie Harp, it's not
• 11:40
  Speaker 12: that they're originating from a Democrat, right?
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: John Ossoff.
• 11:44
  Speaker 12: These attacks are originating from inside the Oval Office, inside
• 11:49
  Speaker 12: the West Wing. President Trump's own staff clearly are leaking
• 11:54
  Speaker 12: personal communications between himself and Natalie Harp, whether they be
• 11:58
  Speaker 12: photographs of Natalie doing her job on President Trump's properties, right,
• 12:02
  Speaker 12: on her trip to Scotland, or these letters that she
• 12:06
  Speaker 12: allegedly wrote to President Trump.
• 12:08
  Speaker 7: Tell us a little bit more about that, Michael.
• 12:10
  Speaker 8: So on my show, my Sunday show, 5 p.m., called
• 12:13
  Speaker 8: When You Know You Know, I brought on Laura Loomer. Now,
• 12:17
  Speaker 8: to those of you who don't know, Laura Loomer is,
• 12:19
  Speaker 8: at one point was and still remains extremely close to
• 12:24
  Speaker 8: President Trump. Major, major supporter. And she as well was
• 12:30
  Speaker 8: being accused by many of having a sexual relationship with
• 12:35
  Speaker 8: Donald Trump. I mean, I get it's Don Trump, right?
• 12:40
  Speaker 8: He's not Don Juan DeMarco. He's President Donald J.
• 12:44
  Speaker 13: Trump.
• 12:45
  Speaker 8: And just because he has a young female around him
• 12:49
  Speaker 8: doesn't mean that it has to automatically turn ugly. It
• 12:52
  Speaker 8: doesn't have to turn sexual. She turned around and made
• 12:56
  Speaker 8: a very important point, which is that the Fighting, the
• 13:02
  Speaker 8: internal fighting that takes place inside the administration, I suspect
• 13:07
  Speaker 8: it happens in every administration. It's not unique to a
• 13:11
  Speaker 8: Trump administration. People want to step over the next one.
• 13:16
  Speaker 8: When they see the blood in the water, the knives
• 13:20
  Speaker 8: come out even sharper. And that's the saddest part. She's
• 13:25
  Speaker 8: not wrong when she said, how did these pictures get out?
• 13:28
  Speaker 8: These are internal pictures of Natalie doing her job. It
• 13:33
  Speaker 8: is actually those that are leaking those photos and the
• 13:37
  Speaker 8: stories and the post-its and the notes that are giving
• 13:40
  Speaker 8: people like John Ossoff or El-Sayed the ammunition within which
• 13:47
  Speaker 8: to take down people like Natalie Harp because Laura Loomer...
• 13:52
  Speaker 8: was subjected to the same thing. I was subjected to
• 13:56
  Speaker 8: the same thing. As somebody who was close to Trump,
• 14:00
  Speaker 8: you think that all of a sudden, whether it was
• 14:02
  Speaker 8: Democrats or Republicans and the various subpoenas that came at
• 14:06
  Speaker 8: me and the questions that were lobbed at me during
• 14:09
  Speaker 8: the seven different congressional hearings that I was forced to attend,
• 14:15
  Speaker 8: you think that their goal was to really get to
• 14:18
  Speaker 8: the truth? The wants their own truth and they will
• 14:23
  Speaker 8: use anyone and anything within which to take down trump
• 14:26
  Speaker 8: and that's the truth.
• 14:28
  Speaker 7: But do we think that they've crossed the line i
• 14:29
  Speaker 7: mean will there be some moderate democrats some people who
• 14:33
  Speaker 7: don't necessarily support trump who will look at this and
• 14:35
  Speaker 7: say come on you know lay off this person especially
• 14:37
  Speaker 7: with the cancer backstory.
• 14:39
  Speaker 5: Well i had i had uh uh federman on last
• 14:43
  Speaker 5: week and i don't know if anybody heard him he
• 14:46
  Speaker 5: was very very good John Fenneman is that one off
• 14:51
  Speaker 5: right now in the Democratic Party.
• 14:52
  Speaker 7: Yeah, but he's got to vote like he talks. Very
• 14:55
  Speaker 7: often he talks a good game and then doesn't vote
• 14:57
  Speaker 7: the right way.
• 14:57
  Speaker 5: Look, let's stay on a point. Let's finish off on
• 15:01
  Speaker 5: Valerie Harp. And then another segment that we will have
• 15:04
  Speaker 5: is about who in the Democratic Party. is viable and
• 15:08
  Speaker 5: who's going to get, you know, what about doing that? Yeah.
• 15:11
  Speaker 7: I mean, but some, I mean, honestly, I think, and
• 15:14
  Speaker 7: this is why I'm not a political consultant, because I
• 15:15
  Speaker 7: think I would give good advice. I think political consultants
• 15:18
  Speaker 7: give bad advice almost uniformly, but I would think that
• 15:21
  Speaker 7: a Democrat who comes out and says, look, we didn't
• 15:24
  Speaker 7: like Trump that much, but let's not throw the baby
• 15:27
  Speaker 7: out with the bathwater. And let's also not throw out
• 15:29
  Speaker 7: our humanity. We threw out our humanity by going after
• 15:33
  Speaker 7: these innocent people who were just doing their job, and
• 15:36
  Speaker 7: implying all this stuff about them, can't we win an
• 15:39
  Speaker 7: election in another way? And I think that person's poll numbers,
• 15:42
  Speaker 7: even among Democrats, would go up.
• 15:43
  Speaker 5: I really do. Okay.
• 15:46
  Speaker 8: We have to break that down in a totally different way.
• 15:51
  Speaker 8: This is not about Natalie Harp. It's not about Laura Loomer.
• 15:56
  Speaker 8: It's not even about me. It's about the way that
• 15:59
  Speaker 8: politics is run today. Many of the people that are
• 16:03
  Speaker 8: right now running They have no qualifications. These are like
• 16:06
  Speaker 8: first timers that are out there. They've never held a job.
• 16:10
  Speaker 8: They don't understand. And yet their number one goal. is
• 16:15
  Speaker 8: to win an election. That's all that they can. And
• 16:18
  Speaker 8: they will win the election by any means necessary. Jake,
• 16:21
  Speaker 8: do you remember when we were in grade school and
• 16:23
  Speaker 8: somebody was running for class president in fifth grade? They
• 16:27
  Speaker 8: promised soda and pizza and ice cream every single day.
• 16:31
  Speaker 8: They came and their mom baked some really delicious chocolate
• 16:34
  Speaker 8: chip cookies. Sometimes I dream about them at night. And
• 16:38
  Speaker 8: if you vote for me, I'll give you a chocolate
• 16:40
  Speaker 8: chip cookie.
• 16:41
  Speaker 7: Now I can't think because I'm really hungry. All right,
• 16:43
  Speaker 7: we've got to take a break. It's 6.46 a.m. here
• 16:46
  Speaker 7: in New York. It's Sit and Friends in the morning.
• 16:49
  Speaker 7: It's been taken over by me, Jake Novak, Michael Cohen,
• 16:52
  Speaker 7: and John Katzmatidis. We've got a lot more.
• 16:53
  Speaker 5: When we come back. Just to know somehow you are near.
• 17:16
  Speaker 14: The overpowered feeling.
• 17:24

• 22:24
  Speaker 19: take my man.
• 22:28
  Speaker 5: Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene. I can't believe she's dead. She
• 22:34
  Speaker 5: was such a wonderful woman.
• 22:36
  Speaker 7: You know, there's not one person who had anything bad
• 22:38
  Speaker 7: to say about her. Interesting though, that her funeral was private.
• 22:42
  Speaker 7: I guess it was yesterday or Saturday. Um, A big loss.
• 22:47
  Speaker 7: And there are a few things that really bond all
• 22:49
  Speaker 7: Americans together these days. You could ask a Republican, you
• 22:53
  Speaker 7: could ask a Democrat. I still haven't seen anyone say
• 22:55
  Speaker 7: anything bad about her in life or death. So that's
• 22:57
  Speaker 7: really a nice thing. Although, of course, we're sorry we
• 22:59
  Speaker 7: lost her.
• 23:00
  Speaker 8: I can tell you when it's my turn. There'd be
• 23:03
  Speaker 8: plenty of people that are going to say some pretty
• 23:04
  Speaker 8: ugly things.
• 23:05
  Speaker 7: Yeah. You shouldn't feel bad about that. There's only one
• 23:09
  Speaker 7: Dolly Parton, Michael, so don't.
• 23:11
  Speaker 5: She is a wonderful person.
• 23:12
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 23:13
  Speaker 5: And, I mean, even... It's worldwide. Even the Brits celebrated her,
• 23:19
  Speaker 5: and that was very nice. And they're going to rename.
• 23:22
  Speaker 5: I understand they're going to rename.
• 23:24
  Speaker 7: The.
• 23:25
  Speaker 5: Airport in Nashville. Yeah, they should. For her. And they should.
• 23:28
  Speaker 7: They absolutely should. I was driving my car. So I
• 23:31
  Speaker 7: don't really have a lot of love lost between me
• 23:33
  Speaker 7: and my alma mater these days. But I will say
• 23:35
  Speaker 7: that my college radio station yesterday, I just happened to
• 23:38
  Speaker 7: be flipping around, was devoted the whole day to Dolly
• 23:43
  Speaker 7: Parton music.
• 23:43
  Speaker 5: Wow.
• 23:44
  Speaker 7: That is very nice. And I thought that was a
• 23:46
  Speaker 7: nice gesture.
• 23:47
  Speaker 8: Well, how about what the president did? Half masks for
• 23:50
  Speaker 8: all federal buildings in honor.
• 23:53
  Speaker 5: That is not done every day. It is not.
• 23:55
  Speaker 7: Yeah. Amazing amount of charity. Anyway, so while I was listening,
• 23:59
  Speaker 7: Code of Many Colors came on, and I kind of
• 24:01
  Speaker 7: almost burst into tears. I'm really not that emotional.
• 24:03
  Speaker 5: Well, I started bursting into tears when I saw Rhinestone
• 24:06
  Speaker 5: starring Dolly Parton and Sylvester Stallone in an Elvis Presley outfit.
• 24:11
  Speaker 5: I mean, talk about bad casting on that one.
• 24:14
  Speaker 7: Did you sit through that entire film?
• 24:15
  Speaker 13: By the way, Dr.
• 24:16
  Speaker 5: Michalos is going to come on and talk about those
• 24:19
  Speaker 5: three billionaires that are working on a project to how
• 24:23
  Speaker 5: to unlock that gene. that determines turning us off at
• 24:28
  Speaker 5: the age of 90 to 100.
• 24:30
  Speaker 7: Well, you know, listen, you can see why they want
• 24:32
  Speaker 7: to pay for this.
• 24:33
  Speaker 5: John, you're really into this gene. I don't want to die.
• 24:38
  Speaker 7: Listen, that's normal.
• 24:39
  Speaker 5: If you did, I'd be a little worried. You know something?
• 24:41
  Speaker 5: I want to be around to help my kids and
• 24:43
  Speaker 5: my grandkids. And that's the only reason I'm working seven
• 24:46
  Speaker 5: days a week.
• 24:46
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I would love to.
• 24:49
  Speaker 5: And I want to help our country. I was going
• 24:51
  Speaker 5: to say that, John.
• 24:52
  Speaker 20: Yeah.
• 24:54
  Speaker 8: When you help the country, you help your children. You
• 24:57
  Speaker 8: help the grandchildren and the future generations to come. If
• 25:01
  Speaker 8: we all just sit back and do nothing, think about
• 25:04
  Speaker 8: where we're going to be tomorrow and then a year
• 25:07
  Speaker 8: from now and then five years from now. Could you
• 25:10
  Speaker 8: imagine an entire government filled with the El Sayeds, with
• 25:14
  Speaker 8: the moron Mandanis, with the, I don't know, the other
• 25:19
  Speaker 8: AOCs and so on?
• 25:20
  Speaker 7: But here's the counter to that, and not that I
• 25:23
  Speaker 7: disagree with that sentiment, Michael Cohen, but we were talking,
• 25:27
  Speaker 7: who would want to get involved? I mean, I think
• 25:29
  Speaker 7: the answer to your question is you want to do
• 25:30
  Speaker 7: it outside of politics, because who would want to get
• 25:32
  Speaker 7: involved in politics when we see what they're doing to
• 25:34
  Speaker 7: Natalie Harp, when they're seeing what they're doing to people
• 25:37
  Speaker 7: like that?
• 25:38
  Speaker 5: It's a vicious world.
• 25:39
  Speaker 7: Who wants to get into that? Now, Donald Trump is,
• 25:41
  Speaker 7: shall we say, pugnacious.
• 25:43
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 25:44
  Speaker 7: I mean, he's okay.
• 25:45
  Speaker 5: If I was young, I'd run again. Yeah, yeah.
• 25:49
  Speaker 7: He's not afraid of a fight, but not many people
• 25:52
  Speaker 7: are built to that kind of stuff.
• 25:54
  Speaker 5: Okay. I welcome a fight. I mean, you see me
• 25:58
  Speaker 5: on the fifth floor, and you've seen me on the
• 25:59
  Speaker 5: fifth floor. I mean, I said, so hire that Chinese
• 26:03
  Speaker 5: law firm. So sue.
• 26:06
  Speaker 13: Me.
• 26:07
  Speaker 8: Look, as now somebody who is around two individuals with
• 26:11
  Speaker 8: very similar personalities, Donald Trump and John Katsimatidis, Let me
• 26:16
  Speaker 8: be crystal clear. Most people do not wake up in
• 26:19
  Speaker 8: the morning and say, I know that there's going to
• 26:23
  Speaker 8: be a fight literally within a minute from my arrival
• 26:27
  Speaker 8: to the office.
• 26:29
  Speaker 5: And you know what?
• 26:30
  Speaker 8: I don't back away from it. I acknowledge it's coming.
• 26:34
  Speaker 8: I almost look forward to it because I look forward
• 26:36
  Speaker 8: to defeating it. That is the personality. of Donald Trump.
• 26:42
  Speaker 8: That's the personality of John Katsimatidis. I'm going to tell
• 26:44
  Speaker 8: you somebody that's suing us.
• 26:46
  Speaker 5: You ready?
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: Ready.
• 26:48
  Speaker 5: Apple Computer. We've had the words Red Apple since 1968, 1969. Oh,
• 26:55
  Speaker 5: you have a trademark. You have a trademark. Infringement case. Hey, wait, wait.
• 27:00
  Speaker 5: Apple wants to sue us because they don't want us
• 27:05
  Speaker 5: to misrepresent Apple.
• 27:08
  Speaker 19: Ugh.
• 27:09
  Speaker 5: I mean, that's a lot of crap.
• 27:10
  Speaker 7: How about they build a case for my phone that works?
• 27:12
  Speaker 5: What's his name? Born? When we were using Apple?
• 27:16
  Speaker 8: No, but what's really interesting is that there's also a
• 27:19
  Speaker 8: carding company. There's a waste management company with the name
• 27:22
  Speaker 8: Apple on it. I see it just literally the reason
• 27:24
  Speaker 8: I'm saying it just literally passed a second ago.
• 27:27
  Speaker 5: WABC is national, is national and going international. And we
• 27:33
  Speaker 5: use Red Apple Audio Network as one of our corporations.
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: I see.
• 27:39
  Speaker 5: They still don't have a case.
• 27:40
  Speaker 7: I mean, are these lawyers on staff that don't.
• 27:42
  Speaker 5: Have a case? They know that. I texted Tim Cook himself.
• 27:49
  Speaker 5: And I got a call back from their lawyers.
• 27:52
  Speaker 7: You know, I mean, don't they have anything else better
• 27:54
  Speaker 7: to do? They have other issues going on at Apple
• 27:56
  Speaker 7: right now. They've had some issues with the stock prices.
• 27:59
  Speaker 7: They've been struggling lately.
• 28:02
  Speaker 5: Well, we all own the stock, so we hope they
• 28:05
  Speaker 5: don't have issues.
• 28:05
  Speaker 7: Yeah, well, so we're hoping, as a shareholder, I would
• 28:09
  Speaker 7: urge you to drop this lawsuit or this attempted lawsuit.
• 28:11
  Speaker 5: Listen, to me, I am a pimple on the planet Jupiter.
• 28:18
  Speaker 5: It's just incredible.
• 28:19
  Speaker 7: It's just incredible. But again, who would want to get involved?
• 28:22
  Speaker 5: I love the Apple people.
• 28:23
  Speaker 7: Listen, they make a great product.
• 28:26
  Speaker 5: They make a good product.
• 28:27
  Speaker 7: They make great products.
• 28:27
  Speaker 5: Except for the iPhone 17. It keeps stalling on me,
• 28:31
  Speaker 5: and I told that to him, and there was two fixes.
• 28:34
  Speaker 5: Two fixes, and I don't think they fixed it 100% yet.
• 28:38
  Speaker 5: Have you had that?
• 28:39
  Speaker 7: I don't have the 17.
• 28:40
  Speaker 5: I don't either.
• 28:41
  Speaker 7: I'm a cheapskate when it comes.
• 28:43
  Speaker 5: To this stuff. Don't get it.
• 28:44
  Speaker 8: I wait for mine to catch fire before I change phones.
• 28:46
  Speaker 7: I refuse to get a new iPhone until I read
• 28:48
  Speaker 7: that the Jets won a game on there.
• 28:50
  Speaker 5: And they're coming up with the iPhone 18, which is
• 28:52
  Speaker 5: completely different, I understand.
• 28:54
  Speaker 9: Oh, okay.
• 28:54
  Speaker 5: I think that's going to be one that folds, right?
• 28:56
  Speaker 5: It's folding.
• 28:57
  Speaker 7: Do you remember when new iPhones would come out and
• 29:00
  Speaker 7: it was a national, it was like the lead story
• 29:02
  Speaker 7: in the news for days. It wasn't just people lining up. Now,
• 29:05
  Speaker 7: it's not like it's fallen off. It's still a dominant
• 29:07
  Speaker 7: in the market. But, I mean, remember just how that
• 29:10
  Speaker 7: was such a huge deal. I was in financial news
• 29:12
  Speaker 7: at the time at Fox Business and then at CNBC.
• 29:15
  Speaker 7: And we stopped everything on news of.
• 29:16
  Speaker 5: A new Apple product.
• 29:17
  Speaker 8: I watched John the other day. We were sitting at
• 29:19
  Speaker 8: a meeting around his big boardroom table. And he said
• 29:23
  Speaker 8: to someone, what are you doing? So he goes, well,
• 29:25
  Speaker 8: what do you mean? He goes, I send you text
• 29:28
  Speaker 8: messages and emails and it comes back as green. He goes,
• 29:33
  Speaker 8: do you not have an iPhone? So he goes, no,
• 29:35
  Speaker 8: I have a Samsung.
• 29:36
  Speaker 5: This is a true story, right?
• 29:37
  Speaker 7: The green screen of shame.
• 29:39
  Speaker 5: Everybody's gonna. always turn around and say, Michael, you don't
• 29:41
  Speaker 5: tell you when you tell the story, you don't have
• 29:43
  Speaker 5: to tell them to none of John. You were the
• 29:44
  Speaker 5: one that he said, you don't have an iPhone, do you?
• 29:47
  Speaker 5: So he says, no, I have a Samsung. He goes,
• 29:49
  Speaker 5: get a goddamn iPhone for God's sakes. Get an iPhone.
• 29:52
  Speaker 5: If you can't afford you, we'll put you on welfare. Yeah.
• 29:55
  Speaker 7: That's what I say to my parents. Also, when I
• 29:56
  Speaker 7: find the person in Canada, who sold my parents a
• 29:59
  Speaker 7: Galaxy phone. I'm going to punch him in the nose
• 30:02
  Speaker 7: because I can't even help them with all their questions
• 30:04
  Speaker 7: because I don't have one. Oh, and I get those
• 30:06
  Speaker 7: green screen messages.
• 30:07
  Speaker 8: Galaxy used to be one of my, they used to
• 30:11
  Speaker 8: give me the stuff for free. You know, they wanted
• 30:13
  Speaker 8: me to sort of endorse it, their product. I have
• 30:16
  Speaker 8: to be honest with you, I didn't like it.
• 30:18
  Speaker 11: Sorry.
• 30:18
  Speaker 5: Sorry, Galaxy.
• 30:19
  Speaker 7: So the reason why we're here this morning, I'm Jake
• 30:21
  Speaker 7: Novak with Michael Cohen and John Katsimatidis on Sid and
• 30:23
  Speaker 7: Friends in the Morning. The reason why we're here this
• 30:25
  Speaker 7: morning is because Sid is in Las Vegas right now
• 30:29
  Speaker 7: at the Republican Jewish Coalition's, I guess it's a convention,
• 30:33
  Speaker 7: their weekend event. Big event tonight is that Vice President Vance,
• 30:37
  Speaker 7: whose support for Israel and support for the Jewish community
• 30:40
  Speaker 7: is definitely in question. He's going to be speaking at
• 30:42
  Speaker 7: this event. No cameras, no phones allowed. Michael Cohen and
• 30:45
  Speaker 7: I both think that people will cheat and we'll record it,
• 30:48
  Speaker 7: but the press is certainly not allowed. Our Sid Rosenberg
• 30:51
  Speaker 7: will be there.
• 30:52
  Speaker 5: Is he calling in?
• 30:53
  Speaker 7: Is he calling in or is he still sleeping? Well,
• 30:56
  Speaker 7: we got to get him to call at least to
• 30:58
  Speaker 7: tell us what happens at the speech after the speech,
• 31:00
  Speaker 7: because again, it would be closed to the news media.
• 31:02
  Speaker 7: That's going to be an interesting moment. But I have
• 31:04
  Speaker 7: some very good moments for you from the Republican Jewish
• 31:07
  Speaker 7: coalition that started the other night, last night. Here is
• 31:12
  Speaker 7: Brandon Gill. He's a congressman from Texas, not a Jewish person,
• 31:16
  Speaker 7: but a good supporter of Israel, telling everybody what happened
• 31:18
  Speaker 7: after Ilhan Omar cursed him out on the floor of
• 31:22
  Speaker 7: the house. He had a great comeback, as they say.
• 31:24
  Speaker 7: Listen to Brandon Gill.
• 31:26
  Speaker 21: I mean, like, cursing like a sailor. And I just
• 31:30
  Speaker 21: kind of stood there and took it. I didn't say
• 31:33
  Speaker 21: anything back to her. And she keeps, I mean, just
• 31:36
  Speaker 21: saying words that, I'm not going to repeat what she
• 31:38
  Speaker 21: was saying, but saying things that were really, really nasty.
• 31:41
  Speaker 21: And the whole time I'm just standing there and all
• 31:45
  Speaker 21: I could think of was, man, do you kiss your
• 31:50
  Speaker 21: brother with that mouth?
• 31:51
  Speaker 3: No.
• 31:54
  Speaker 7: Oh, that's a low blow. But of course, by the way,
• 31:56
  Speaker 7: Ilhan Omar is still not, you know, given any proof
• 31:59
  Speaker 7: that she did not falsely marry her brother, at least.
• 32:03
  Speaker 5: I was going to turn around and say, is the
• 32:05
  Speaker 5: answer yes?
• 32:06
  Speaker 22: Yeah, I know.
• 32:06
  Speaker 7: There was no answer. Anyway, we've been talking about low
• 32:10
  Speaker 7: blows in politics, but I will say this. If you
• 32:13
  Speaker 7: think we're being hypocritical here because we were talking about
• 32:15
  Speaker 7: the low blows against Natalie Harp, Ilhan Omar is an
• 32:18
  Speaker 7: elected official. And I'm not saying we should get brutal
• 32:22
  Speaker 7: with her all the time. But when you've had questions
• 32:24
  Speaker 7: about your immigration status and we still don't have any
• 32:28
  Speaker 7: any proof that she didn't present documents that she was
• 32:31
  Speaker 7: married to her brother so that he could so that
• 32:33
  Speaker 7: she could get citizenship and he could get citizenship. I
• 32:36
  Speaker 7: think it's fair game.
• 32:37
  Speaker 5: He is a federal employee, federally elected. She I mean,
• 32:42
  Speaker 5: the FBI has to investigate and tell us the truth.
• 32:45
  Speaker 22: Yeah.
• 32:46
  Speaker 7: I mean, immigration fraud should be immigration fraud.
• 32:49
  Speaker 5: No more hiding. Look, the FBI went through 99.9% of
• 32:54
  Speaker 5: the FBI people are great, legitimate people. Great, patriotic people.
• 33:00
  Speaker 5: But like any organization, when you have an organization of 35,000 people,
• 33:05
  Speaker 5: you're always going to have a couple of bad eggs.
• 33:08
  Speaker 7: Yeah, well, I'm happy. Speaking of immigration stuff, someone mostly
• 33:13
  Speaker 7: from the right wing, although I think he's just from
• 33:14
  Speaker 7: the lunatic wing. Milo Yiannopoulos not only got detained a
• 33:18
  Speaker 7: couple of days ago, but he's been deported back to Britain,
• 33:21
  Speaker 7: his place of birth. And that's very important because if
• 33:24
  Speaker 7: you're going to be a Republican and you're going to
• 33:26
  Speaker 7: call for closed borders and secure borders and immigration law
• 33:29
  Speaker 7: being enforced. then you have to have some of your
• 33:31
  Speaker 7: own guys are going to get deported, too. The fact
• 33:34
  Speaker 7: that Milo was so quickly deported after detention, I think,
• 33:37
  Speaker 7: is a great sign.
• 33:38
  Speaker 5: Well, how about what's his name? You know, I said that,
• 33:42
  Speaker 5: but don't deport the nannies. Somebody has to mow the lawns.
• 33:48
  Speaker 5: If they're not, in my opinion, if they're not criminals...
• 33:53
  Speaker 5: You know, let's let's hold up. Let's get rid of
• 33:56
  Speaker 5: the criminal.
• 33:56
  Speaker 7: You know, we talk about immigration.
• 33:58
  Speaker 8: We talk about immigration all the time on my show,
• 34:01
  Speaker 8: on your show and John. We talk about immigration because
• 34:04
  Speaker 8: immigration is a very significant problem. Every country has a
• 34:08
  Speaker 8: right to its borders. And regardless, Republican, Democrat, independent, everybody
• 34:14
  Speaker 8: says the exact same thing. A country without borders, quite frankly,
• 34:18
  Speaker 8: isn't a country. That's a line that President Trump used
• 34:21
  Speaker 8: all the time.
• 34:23
  Speaker 5: Fine.
• 34:24
  Speaker 8: Nobody should be arguing with that. Nobody should be arguing
• 34:27
  Speaker 8: that Department of Homeland Security has a job, and that
• 34:30
  Speaker 8: is to keep people who don't belong in this country out.
• 34:34
  Speaker 8: ICE has a job. And as John just said, ICE agents,
• 34:39
  Speaker 8: for the most part, are good people. There's always a
• 34:43
  Speaker 8: bad apple in the barrel. It just happens, and those
• 34:47
  Speaker 8: people should be handled by the law.
• 34:49
  Speaker 7: All right, you're going to be sued now by Apple
• 34:51
  Speaker 7: for saying bad apple. Let's take a break.
• 34:53
  Speaker 5: We've got to take a break, and we're going to
• 34:55
  Speaker 5: come back at 7.15. Dr. Michalos, are we going to
• 34:58
  Speaker 5: live to be 120? Don't hang up.
• 35:04
  Speaker 19: He talks about you in his sleep, and there's nothing
• 35:07
  Speaker 19: I can do to keep from crying when he calls
• 35:10
  Speaker 19: your name Jolene. And I can easily understand how you
• 35:18
  Speaker 19: could easily take my man, but you don't know what.
• 35:20
  Speaker 5: He means to me, Jolene.
• 35:26
  Speaker 19: Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene. I'm begging of you, please don't
• 35:33
  Speaker 19: take my man.

• 37:36
  Speaker 5: Well, we are back. We are back. And who do
• 37:39
  Speaker 5: we have on? The greatest congressman New York has ever had.
• 37:45
  Speaker 7: That's the hell kick of an intro for Peter King.
• 37:47
  Speaker 5: That's a good intro, but it's true.
• 37:49
  Speaker 7: He can't complain now. No more complaints.
• 37:51
  Speaker 5: He was, you know, Democrats love him. Republicans love him.
• 37:57
  Speaker 5: I mean, he's loved by everybody.
• 37:59
  Speaker 7: And he was briefly my congressman. There's a bunch of
• 38:01
  Speaker 7: redistricting for a while. He was my congressman when I was,
• 38:04
  Speaker 7: I still live in Nassau County. Peter King joining us. Congressman,
• 38:08
  Speaker 7: we're talking about this decision. We're still reverberating, not only
• 38:11
  Speaker 7: through this newsroom and this studio, but just all throughout
• 38:14
  Speaker 7: New York. The fact that the governor of this state
• 38:19
  Speaker 7: and the state has passed this law that local police
• 38:21
  Speaker 7: departments cannot cooperate with ICE, even when they're going after
• 38:26
  Speaker 7: child molesters, murderers, etc., etc. It is an insane law.
• 38:32
  Speaker 7: And Bruce Blakeman had to comply with it. And he's
• 38:36
  Speaker 7: course joining in a lawsuit to try to get it
• 38:38
  Speaker 7: overturned but peter king this is what i want to
• 38:41
  Speaker 7: pose to you because this is the whole narrative about
• 38:44
  Speaker 7: ice is is false uh i did the math last
• 38:47
  Speaker 7: week uh congressman ice is engaging encountering more than 1700
• 38:54
  Speaker 7: people a day arresting detaining putting their hands on them
• 38:58
  Speaker 7: the fact that we've had so few and it is
• 39:00
  Speaker 7: few based on those numbers incidents of killings or other
• 39:04
  Speaker 7: types of violence is an incredible record. The NYPD would kill,
• 39:08
  Speaker 7: no pun intended, for a record like that. ICE has
• 39:11
  Speaker 7: been maligned and smeared. I think it's the most humane
• 39:14
  Speaker 7: law enforcement group ever in American history. What say you?
• 39:19
  Speaker 20: Yeah, basically, I agree with you. And I think what
• 39:22
  Speaker 20: Kathy Hochul has done, it's absolutely disastrous. Bruce Boykman in
• 39:27
  Speaker 20: Nassau County entered into an agreement between the Nassau County
• 39:31
  Speaker 20: Police and ICE where they would cooperate. And also he
• 39:34
  Speaker 20: actually had a number of Nassau police officers deputized to
• 39:38
  Speaker 20: work with ICE, actually work with ICE. As a result
• 39:41
  Speaker 20: of that, we've had absolutely zero incidents in Nassau County.
• 39:44
  Speaker 20: No acts of violence, nothing. There's total cooperation between the two,
• 39:49
  Speaker 20: and there's been no raids into schools or anything like that.
• 39:53
  Speaker 20: It's worked, and it's important, and I think it's over 2,000
• 39:58
  Speaker 20: illegal criminals were actually taken from Nassau County and deported
• 40:04
  Speaker 20: because of the cooperation between the Nassau police and ICE.
• 40:08
  Speaker 20: You mentioned it was acts of violence. The fact is
• 40:10
  Speaker 20: I'm not making excuses for anything that went wrong. The
• 40:12
  Speaker 20: fact is, take the two cases in Minneapolis. In that instance,
• 40:16
  Speaker 20: the governor, the mayor, they were not cooperating with ICE.
• 40:19
  Speaker 20: They were actually encouraging people to rebel, to resist, to
• 40:23
  Speaker 20: carry on. And you had the incident where an ICE
• 40:27
  Speaker 20: agent has a woman, she told him to stop, so
• 40:30
  Speaker 20: he takes her off in a car aimed in his direction.
• 40:33
  Speaker 20: Whether she was going to hit him or not, he
• 40:34
  Speaker 20: didn't know. The fact is, that was a human reaction.
• 40:38
  Speaker 20: and also, I think, a legitimate law enforcement reaction for
• 40:41
  Speaker 20: him to fire. Now, whether or not that was 100% correct,
• 40:44
  Speaker 20: I don't know, but it was instigated by the violence
• 40:47
  Speaker 20: on the street and by that person coming at the
• 40:50
  Speaker 20: ICE agent. Similarly with the person who was shot when
• 40:52
  Speaker 20: he was wrestling with the ICE officers on the ground.
• 40:54
  Speaker 20: He came there to disrupt it. He was carrying a weapon,
• 40:58
  Speaker 20: and in that confusion, he was shot. I don't think
• 41:01
  Speaker 20: it was going on for a while before he was shot.
• 41:03
  Speaker 20: I don't think anyone thinks that they intentionally shot him.
• 41:06
  Speaker 20: I think when he was going around, a gun went off,
• 41:09
  Speaker 20: and they saw his gun, and they shot in defense. Now,
• 41:12
  Speaker 20: maybe that was not 100% right, but it would not
• 41:14
  Speaker 20: have happened if there had been cooperation between the police
• 41:17
  Speaker 20: officers and ICE, and I don't think anyone thinks that
• 41:20
  Speaker 20: those ICE agents were in there intending to kill anyone
• 41:23
  Speaker 20: that day. So I agree with you. Overall, they've done
• 41:25
  Speaker 20: a great job. One thing that I agree with John Casamattini,
• 41:28
  Speaker 20: and actually a lot of things I agree with John on,
• 41:30
  Speaker 20: but on this one, I think it would be more
• 41:31
  Speaker 20: effective advice focus more just on going after criminals. Because
• 41:36
  Speaker 20: we've had people who have 15, 20 years, they're part
• 41:39
  Speaker 20: of the community, they're children of part of the community.
• 41:42
  Speaker 20: And basically, to me, I don't see any gain by
• 41:44
  Speaker 20: going after them now.
• 41:45
  Speaker 13: But are we?
• 41:46
  Speaker 7: Because I see no evidence that ICE is in any
• 41:50
  Speaker 7: way really targeting people like you just mentioned. I don't
• 41:53
  Speaker 7: think that's... Every time we find out, we get the
• 41:56
  Speaker 7: initial report, Congressman King, that, oh, they took a 15
• 42:00
  Speaker 7: guy who's been working as a busboy... And then it
• 42:02
  Speaker 7: turns out that he had, you know, had six wives,
• 42:05
  Speaker 7: a child molestation thing. I mean, I'm seeing no evidence
• 42:09
  Speaker 7: that we're targeting these more innocent illegals.
• 42:11
  Speaker 13: None.
• 42:12
  Speaker 20: No, actually, over the last several months, a majority of
• 42:15
  Speaker 20: those taken have not had criminal records. That's reality. Now,
• 42:19
  Speaker 20: what happens sometimes is you go into a place and
• 42:21
  Speaker 20: there's four illegals and there's three legals and they all
• 42:25
  Speaker 20: get picked up. I understand that. But I think that
• 42:27
  Speaker 20: they should try to fine-tune them. That's all I'm saying.
• 42:29
  Speaker 20: I think, like, I, for instance, know of cases in
• 42:31
  Speaker 20: Esselstyn County where there are people right now who feel
• 42:35
  Speaker 20: that they, in fact, they've been warned, they've been told
• 42:37
  Speaker 20: they're trying to cooperate. But they've been here for years,
• 42:40
  Speaker 20: and they have established families and roots. So, again, I'm
• 42:43
  Speaker 20: not saying that's the majority, but there have been more
• 42:45
  Speaker 20: of those cases recently. But overall, ICE has done their job.
• 42:49
  Speaker 20: They've done their job. And in those instances where there
• 42:52
  Speaker 20: have been violence, if there have been, cooperation between local
• 42:56
  Speaker 20: authorities and police with ICE, that would not have happened.
• 42:59
  Speaker 5: Now, there was a big— Congressman King, there was a big
• 43:02
  Speaker 5: report over the weekend in the Hamptons. You know, I
• 43:05
  Speaker 5: live in Suffolk County on weekends. And that some— you know, Cohen, Michael?
• 43:15
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 43:15
  Speaker 5: That club in Riverhead, was it? Not in Riverhead. In
• 43:20
  Speaker 5: Sag Harbor? Yeah, there's a club in the Sag Harbor
• 43:24
  Speaker 5: area where they— They had to close.
• 43:26
  Speaker 8: Yeah, they had to close simply because— Most of the
• 43:30
  Speaker 8: help has now been either they self-deported or they've been taken.
• 43:37
  Speaker 20: You know, actually, in reality, we have to adjust to
• 43:39
  Speaker 20: the fact is that there are a number of businesses
• 43:42
  Speaker 20: that have relied on immigrants and are not here legally.
• 43:45
  Speaker 20: And now to play it safe, they are self-deporting and
• 43:48
  Speaker 20: the business is being cut short. Now, we have to
• 43:50
  Speaker 20: adjust to that. And the one way to do it
• 43:52
  Speaker 20: is have more legal immigration, have more guest worker visas,
• 43:56
  Speaker 20: that type thing. But we had a situation where you had, what, 10, 15,
• 44:00
  Speaker 20: 20 million, whatever it was, illegals coming in. The situation
• 44:03
  Speaker 20: got out of control. And right now we're, like, reconstituting.
• 44:07
  Speaker 20: And I think there's going to be some growing pains
• 44:08
  Speaker 20: with that. There's going to be some innocent people caught
• 44:11
  Speaker 20: up in it. But overall, it's the important thing to
• 44:13
  Speaker 20: do to get it done. And, again, I would just
• 44:16
  Speaker 20: try to fine-tune it more. As far as to me,
• 44:19
  Speaker 20: the best way, if you want to ensure that there's
• 44:21
  Speaker 20: no real violence, is to have the local police cooperating
• 44:24
  Speaker 20: with ICE, which is what Bruce Blakeman had done in
• 44:26
  Speaker 20: Nassau County. That was to everyone's benefit. Hochul was caved
• 44:30
  Speaker 20: in to the Manjami progressives, to the left wing of
• 44:33
  Speaker 20: her party.
• 44:34
  Speaker 8: Well, Congressman, why then is Blakeman not out there every
• 44:38
  Speaker 8: single second of the day going ahead and promoting that
• 44:42
  Speaker 8: again and again and again and again? I feel almost
• 44:45
  Speaker 8: sometimes as if Jake Novak is doing it more than
• 44:48
  Speaker 8: anybody else. Or I should really say John.
• 44:53
  Speaker 20: It's a big state and there's a lot of issues.
• 44:55
  Speaker 20: And Bruce does talk about it quite a bit. He
• 44:57
  Speaker 20: talks about it. But also as he's traveling around the state,
• 44:59
  Speaker 20: he's in upstate New York. There's various issues there. Parts
• 45:02
  Speaker 20: of upstate New York actually impoverished. And he's trying to
• 45:07
  Speaker 20: address those issues. He's trying to address the various law
• 45:10
  Speaker 20: enforcement issues around the state. He, again, has so many
• 45:13
  Speaker 20: different constituencies to reach out to. Now, he's not changing
• 45:16
  Speaker 20: his message, but he has to, again, address the issues
• 45:19
  Speaker 20: that concern those people. But again, I'd say in almost
• 45:22
  Speaker 20: every speech, I mean, the media may not be highlighting it,
• 45:25
  Speaker 20: but almost every speech I've given, I've heard him give,
• 45:27
  Speaker 20: he does talk about ICE. He talks about the cooperation.
• 45:31
  Speaker 20: He talks about reasons why this or county as a
• 45:33
  Speaker 20: lost crime rate of any county in the United States
• 45:36
  Speaker 20: up again is a lot of issues to talk about
• 45:38
  Speaker 20: the does so much he's never heard from it in
• 45:41
  Speaker 20: a major news conference on it just the other day
• 45:43
  Speaker 20: with the a a Christian writer and how do you
• 45:46
  Speaker 20: legislate yourself it's again it's a big state is talking
• 45:50
  Speaker 20: to you but he's never never shied away from the
• 45:52
  Speaker 20: ice issue.
• 45:53
  Speaker 7: Peter King let's talk a little bit about Kathy Hochul
• 45:56
  Speaker 7: you mentioned it as she's selling out but You know,
• 45:59
  Speaker 7: it's amazing how they just won't put the safety of U.S.
• 46:03
  Speaker 7: citizens and in this case, New York citizens first. And
• 46:08
  Speaker 7: I have to think it's more than just pressure she's
• 46:10
  Speaker 7: getting from. She's already she's already the Democrat nominee. She's
• 46:14
  Speaker 7: already the governor. She doesn't have to worry about that
• 46:17
  Speaker 7: aspect of it. Why does she need to cave so
• 46:20
  Speaker 7: much to Zoran Mamdani in the left? Is there something
• 46:23
  Speaker 7: else going on here? Is she yet another Democrat getting
• 46:26
  Speaker 7: funding either either directly or indirectly? From our enemies who
• 46:30
  Speaker 7: want to undermine the country, because to me, her poll
• 46:33
  Speaker 7: numbers would go up if she said the same thing
• 46:36
  Speaker 7: you just said. Let's just tweak things a little bit. Instead,
• 46:39
  Speaker 7: I think she's putting herself in peril. Why do they
• 46:42
  Speaker 7: do these things?
• 46:44
  Speaker 20: I tell you, I'm very surprised. John may recall back
• 46:47
  Speaker 20: when she was becoming governor, when it was obvious Andrew
• 46:50
  Speaker 20: Cuomo was going to have to step down. I was
• 46:52
  Speaker 20: telling people I thought Kathy Hochul would actually do a
• 46:55
  Speaker 20: good job. She was on my committee in Washington when
• 46:58
  Speaker 20: I was chairman of the Homeland Security Committee. She had
• 47:01
  Speaker 20: won a special election upstate and she served a year
• 47:05
  Speaker 20: and a half on the committee before she lost. But
• 47:07
  Speaker 20: she was there for a year and a half. And
• 47:10
  Speaker 20: she was actually a very moderate Democrat. She was not
• 47:12
  Speaker 20: one of the crazies. I had some real crazies on
• 47:14
  Speaker 20: the committee. She was not allied with them at all.
• 47:17
  Speaker 20: She was reasonable to talk to. Her husband was a
• 47:20
  Speaker 20: big law enforcement prosecutor upstate. And then she became governor.
• 47:24
  Speaker 20: And it was like overnight she went first to the
• 47:26
  Speaker 20: left of Cuomo. It's hard to explain, and I'm not
• 47:29
  Speaker 20: talking about, I have no evidence of any mysterious money
• 47:31
  Speaker 20: coming in. Whether it is or is not, but I
• 47:33
  Speaker 20: think she's living in a bubble of people around her,
• 47:36
  Speaker 20: all these left people. And I agree with you. To me,
• 47:39
  Speaker 20: if you had a reasonable, intelligent Democrat, a Joe Lieberman,
• 47:43
  Speaker 20: an Ed Koch, people like that, who could step outside
• 47:47
  Speaker 20: their party when they had to, she would win support.
• 47:49
  Speaker 20: But I just figured she's in this bubble. She's somehow,
• 47:52
  Speaker 20: as a lot of somebody, trapped into it. But I can't.
• 47:54
  Speaker 20: Maybe it is a psychiatrist who explained it. But maybe
• 47:58
  Speaker 20: it's congressman.
• 47:59
  Speaker 8: I think the only thing she cares about is reelection
• 48:02
  Speaker 8: and winning the reelection. And she's willing to do whatever
• 48:05
  Speaker 8: it's going to take or what she thinks it's going
• 48:08
  Speaker 8: to take in order to effectuate that win.
• 48:12
  Speaker 20: You know, Jake was saying, though, if she steps out
• 48:14
  Speaker 20: of that for a moment, if we realize that would
• 48:16
  Speaker 20: be easy for her to get reelected, if she didn't
• 48:18
  Speaker 20: take some of these crazy left-wing positions. She has the
• 48:21
  Speaker 20: nomination now. She has the party. She will have enough
• 48:24
  Speaker 20: funding to get through this campaign. So she has what
• 48:26
  Speaker 20: she needs. If she took more middle-of-the-road stands and more
• 48:29
  Speaker 20: moderate stands, if she stood more with the police, if
• 48:32
  Speaker 20: she stood.
• 48:32
  Speaker 5: Maybe Jake Novak should actually give her a call and
• 48:34
  Speaker 5: give her some advice.
• 48:35
  Speaker 7: Well, Peter King, that's why I say my alter ego
• 48:39
  Speaker 7: is Jake Novak, unelect— unemployable. Political consultant, because I give good advice. Apparently,
• 48:45
  Speaker 7: to be a successful political consultant in America, you have
• 48:48
  Speaker 7: to give bad advice. But Peter King, we thank you
• 48:50
  Speaker 7: for joining us. You didn't need a political consultant to
• 48:53
  Speaker 7: give you good advice. You knew on your own. But
• 48:56
  Speaker 7: thank you so much.
• 48:57
  Speaker 20: I had John McLaughlin, by the way, the best in
• 48:59
  Speaker 20: the country.
• 49:00
  Speaker 5: John is great, except he didn't tell me that I
• 49:04
  Speaker 5: was losing Manhattan when I ran for mayor.
• 49:07
  Speaker 20: Oh, well.
• 49:07
  Speaker 5: He told Rob Ryan, but he didn't tell me.
• 49:09
  Speaker 7: Well, that's it. And his punishment is he has to
• 49:13
  Speaker 7: show up on this channel every time we ask him
• 49:15
  Speaker 7: now because that's the way it works. Peter King, thank
• 49:17
  Speaker 7: you so much for joining us.
• 49:18
  Speaker 5: Thank you so much, Pete.
• 49:19
  Speaker 3: Thank you.
• 49:20
  Speaker 7: You for your service to the country and to my
• 49:22
  Speaker 7: former congressional district. I got redistricted out of your jurisdiction
• 49:25
  Speaker 7: for a while there, but it was great while it lasted.
• 49:27
  Speaker 22: All right.
• 49:28
  Speaker 7: We got a lot more to come in the next hour.
• 49:31
  Speaker 7: By the way, also coming up in the next hour,
• 49:32
  Speaker 7: Alan Dershowitz. We'll talk to him about that Vance speech tonight.
• 49:35
  Speaker 7: I'm sure he's going to be dying to know what
• 49:37
  Speaker 7: he has to say and a lot more here on
• 49:40
  Speaker 7: Sit in friends in the morning. The takeover this morning.
• 49:42
  Speaker 7: What do we have on next?
• 49:44
  Speaker 5: You got to tell people. Don't hang up.
• 49:46
  Speaker 7: No, you can't leave. You can't leave. We've got Governor
• 49:48
  Speaker 7: Pataki is going to join us.
• 49:49
  Speaker 5: Governor Pataki is going to join us at, I think, 925.
• 49:52
  Speaker 5: All right. But Vito is going to be coming up.
• 49:56
  Speaker 18: Vito Pacella.
• 49:56
  Speaker 5: Those big happenings in Staten Island.
• 49:59
  Speaker 7: And Hank Shankoff is next.
• 50:00
  Speaker 5: And Hank Shankoff is next.
• 50:02
  Speaker 7: We'll ask him about a lot of this.
• 50:05
  Speaker 3: We'll ask him about a lot of this.
• 50:08
  Speaker 10: You talk, we listen.
• 50:11
  Speaker 14: 77 WABC.
• 50:22
  Speaker 16: Well, from the Apple Bank traffic desk, a few things
• 50:26
  Speaker 16: you need to know about. First of all, on the
• 50:28
  Speaker 16: BQE southbound up there by Queens Boulevard, we continue to
• 50:31
  Speaker 16: have that disabled track trailer still causing delays on the
• 50:34
  Speaker 16: southbound side. If you're coming inbound on the LIE, very
• 50:37
  Speaker 16: heavy now through Queens Boulevard. Some delays on the Grand
• 50:39
  Speaker 16: Central Parkway into the Kew Gardens Interchange and then further
• 50:42
  Speaker 16: on in getting up and on to the RFK Triborough Bridge.
• 50:45
  Speaker 16: Also on the Jackie Robinson getting into Kew. Quite a
• 50:48
  Speaker 16: bit of heavy traffic this morning over in New Jersey
• 50:51
  Speaker 16: on the Garden State Parkway northbound at 145. Coming into
• 50:54
  Speaker 16: East Orange, an accident in the right lane just before
• 50:56
  Speaker 16: you get to I-280. And again on the subways, we've
• 50:59
  Speaker 16: been telling you about this all morning long. Big disruptions
• 51:02
  Speaker 16: on the A, the C, the B, the D. That
• 51:04
  Speaker 16: urgent track repair going on. And also New Jersey Transit.
• 51:08
  Speaker 16: Two trains, a 644 out of Long Branch due in
• 51:10
  Speaker 16: the city at 814. And the 755 out of Jersey
• 51:13
  Speaker 16: Avenue due here at 819. Those have been canceled and
• 51:16
  Speaker 16: all on its side again today.
• 51:18
  Speaker 17: Is in effect.
• 51:18
  Speaker 16: With an Apple Bank Pick Your Own Term CD, get
• 51:21
  Speaker 16: a guaranteed rate of return that fits your 6-12 month timeline.
• 51:24
  Speaker 17: Stop by an Apple Bank branch to open.
• 51:26
  Speaker 16: Member FDIC, $ 25, 000 minimum deposit required to open new money only.
• 51:31
  Speaker 16: Early withdrawal penalty may apply. I'm Joe Nolan with Traffic
• 51:34
  Speaker 16: on Talk Radio 77 WABC.
• 51:35
  Speaker 17: You're my best friend.
• 51:41
  Speaker 1: This is Sid and Friends in the Morning. For my friends.
• 51:46
  Speaker 2: 77 WABC.
• 51:48
  Speaker 11: Well.
• 52:04
  Speaker 7: What goes around comes around. I don't know if that's
• 52:07
  Speaker 7: the best statement, but I am still laughing, although it's
• 52:10
  Speaker 7: also making me cry. The congressional candidate, Brad Lander, who
• 52:15
  Speaker 7: hasn't had an issue that he can sell his people
• 52:18
  Speaker 7: out fast enough on, accusing Israel of genocide falsely, showing
• 52:23
  Speaker 7: up at an Islamist mosque where they call for killing
• 52:26
  Speaker 7: of the infidels, nominating Zohra Mamdani, just bowing down. He can't,
• 52:32
  Speaker 7: he can't. give up and sell his own people out
• 52:36
  Speaker 7: fast enough. That's Brad Lander. Well, here's what happened to
• 52:39
  Speaker 7: him on Saturday when he showed up at a protest
• 52:42
  Speaker 7: outside of Madison Square Garden. It was a bunch of
• 52:44
  Speaker 7: these Democrat socialists protesting a Hindu Nationalist Party leader giving
• 52:49
  Speaker 7: a rally inside MSG. And here's how warmly he was
• 52:53
  Speaker 7: greeted by his so-called people.
• 52:55
  Speaker 5: You know how.
• 52:57
  Speaker 13: He's not playing Zionist.
• 52:58
  Speaker 10: People say you're a liberal.
• 53:00
  Speaker 13: You know how you are.
• 53:07
  Speaker 7: These protesters got in his face he's standing there like
• 53:10
  Speaker 7: a schmo doesn't know what to do he's probably thinking
• 53:14
  Speaker 7: but i i bowed down to you i bowed down
• 53:16
  Speaker 7: to you hank sheinkopf joins us now hank should this
• 53:19
  Speaker 7: not be a lesson to all of the democrats out
• 53:23
  Speaker 7: there who are kowtowing to this far left not only
• 53:26
  Speaker 7: is it embarrassing but it's not going to work they're
• 53:28
  Speaker 7: never going to accept this guy are they.
• 53:31
  Speaker 3: Well, first and foremost, and it's an important question, they're
• 53:34
  Speaker 3: never going to accept him. They're never going to accept
• 53:36
  Speaker 3: the liberals. That's not what they do. They want a
• 53:38
  Speaker 3: revolution that has nothing to do with the people that
• 53:43
  Speaker 3: go along with them. And the people that are doing this,
• 53:45
  Speaker 3: like Brad Landon, that fool, have no understanding of history.
• 53:48
  Speaker 3: If you look at these kinds of revolutions where you've
• 53:51
  Speaker 3: had the social, civil, or the right wing take over governments,
• 53:54
  Speaker 3: the first line of defense is to kill the supporters
• 53:57
  Speaker 3: that came on, the people that are on their knees
• 53:59
  Speaker 3: and kissing the part of the anatomy they shouldn't be kissing.
• 54:04
  Speaker 7: And why would you trust someone? Now, man, let's say
• 54:06
  Speaker 7: that they're even a little less radical and more calculating.
• 54:11
  Speaker 7: Why would you trust someone who has clearly sold out
• 54:15
  Speaker 7: his own community? To me, that's not someone I want
• 54:18
  Speaker 7: to have on my team anyway, because they've made it
• 54:20
  Speaker 7: clear that they'll sell anything out at any time. I mean,
• 54:23
  Speaker 7: why don't these people understand that it's not just a
• 54:25
  Speaker 7: knowledge of history, which you're very correct about, Hank Shonkoff?
• 54:28
  Speaker 7: But it's also human nature. I don't want somebody like
• 54:31
  Speaker 7: this on my team who's willing to sell out his
• 54:34
  Speaker 7: own people like that. I mean, it's not like nothing
• 54:36
  Speaker 7: is happening. You have Jews being accosted all over the country,
• 54:40
  Speaker 7: all over the world. It's not like this is a
• 54:42
  Speaker 7: good time to go sell out your people. And this
• 54:45
  Speaker 7: is when you choose to join the other side. Why
• 54:47
  Speaker 7: would you put somebody like that on your team? Doesn't
• 54:49
  Speaker 7: Brad Lander understand that? Is he that stupid or is
• 54:51
  Speaker 7: he that morally decrepit?
• 54:53
  Speaker 3: He's both stupid and morally decrepit.
• 54:55
  Speaker 5: He's a double whammy.
• 54:57
  Speaker 3: His basic argument is, I'm not like them. I'm different
• 55:00
  Speaker 3: than them. You know, that's the great liberal argument. I'm
• 55:03
  Speaker 3: really not like those people. If you say to great
• 55:06
  Speaker 3: Brad Landon, you say, let's build a jail on 3rd
• 55:09
  Speaker 3: Street and 7th Avenue and Park Slope, he'd look at
• 55:12
  Speaker 3: you and say, how dare you say such a thing?
• 55:13
  Speaker 3: Because that means they're going to put the jail in
• 55:15
  Speaker 3: Harlem or in a black neighborhood or a Latino neighborhood
• 55:18
  Speaker 3: where people are just going through miserable times every day
• 55:22
  Speaker 3: because he believes he is the great man to protect
• 55:25
  Speaker 3: the people and to bring those who are on the
• 55:28
  Speaker 3: outside together together. Even if they want to kill you.
• 55:30
  Speaker 3: Because he doesn't believe they really want to kill you. See,
• 55:33
  Speaker 3: that's the great stupidity. They wanted to kill him yesterday.
• 55:37
  Speaker 3: Excuse me, on the day that this happened. They didn't
• 55:39
  Speaker 3: care whether he was a liberal. They didn't care whether
• 55:42
  Speaker 3: he had said that Israel was engaging in genocide, which
• 55:47
  Speaker 3: is among the great lies of the 21st century, which
• 55:49
  Speaker 3: is absolutely untrue. But he believes that if he says
• 55:53
  Speaker 3: these things, they will love him so much. They will
• 55:55
  Speaker 3: love him right into a firing squad. That's what he
• 55:57
  Speaker 3: fails to understand.
• 55:59
  Speaker 5: Well, how could you not understand it? Hey, Hank, it's Michael.
• 56:02
  Speaker 8: How could you not understand it when the people that
• 56:05
  Speaker 8: you are going to speak in front of are booing
• 56:09
  Speaker 8: you into oblivion?
• 56:11
  Speaker 3: Because the liberal mind doesn't believe that they're really doing that,
• 56:14
  Speaker 3: that if only we will sit down and have a meeting.
• 56:17
  Speaker 3: They all understand, you know, if only we could sit
• 56:19
  Speaker 3: down with any, I mean, it would have been fine.
• 56:20
  Speaker 3: You know, he would have really not wanted to kill
• 56:23
  Speaker 3: all of us. You know, he's a great man. If
• 56:25
  Speaker 3: only we could sit down with Hitler, he would understand it.
• 56:28
  Speaker 20: Not a bad guy.
• 56:28
  Speaker 3: You know, Stalin, not so bad.
• 56:30
  Speaker 22: Franco, who knows?
• 56:31
  Speaker 3: You know, and Mao, 30 million people later, he really
• 56:34
  Speaker 3: wanted to sit with us and have a discussion. That's
• 56:37
  Speaker 3: a complete nonsense. The refusal to understand who the enemy
• 56:40
  Speaker 3: is and to understand what could happen to this country
• 56:43
  Speaker 3: if this continues is the most astounding thing imaginable. And
• 56:47
  Speaker 3: it's happening, you know, it's happening more so because they're
• 56:50
  Speaker 3: looking for a haven which doesn't exist.
• 56:52
  Speaker 7: Hank Sheinkopf, I have to ask you, it seems to
• 56:55
  Speaker 7: me that there are so many Democrats that don't take
• 56:58
  Speaker 7: the inside track to better poll numbers. And to me,
• 57:02
  Speaker 7: this has been the question I've had about Kathy Hochul
• 57:04
  Speaker 7: since the day she became governor. If she had decided to,
• 57:07
  Speaker 7: for example, reverse Andrew Cuomo's no cash bail policy, there
• 57:11
  Speaker 7: would have been no I don't believe there would have
• 57:12
  Speaker 7: been any political price that she would have had to
• 57:14
  Speaker 7: pay for it. And she would her poll numbers would
• 57:16
  Speaker 7: have shot through the roof. Why is she doing what
• 57:18
  Speaker 7: she's doing now, going up against ICE completely without saying
• 57:22
  Speaker 7: what we've been saying here in the studio all morning?
• 57:25
  Speaker 7: Why not come out and say, look. We want to
• 57:27
  Speaker 7: make sure that ICE focuses on the terrible criminals.
• 57:30
  Speaker 5: I would agree with that law. All she has to
• 57:33
  Speaker 5: say is if they're major criminals or they're criminals. You know, rape, drugs,
• 57:42
  Speaker 5: you know, killing people. Get them hell out of the
• 57:46
  Speaker 5: United States. But, you know, I can understand saying and
• 57:50
  Speaker 5: making a law not to deport the lawnmower guys or
• 57:54
  Speaker 5: the bartenders or the busboys, et cetera. Well, what do
• 58:01
  Speaker 5: you think, Hank?
• 58:02
  Speaker 2: Well, look, John, first of all, good morning.
• 58:05
  Speaker 3: Look, it's really simple. This is a world run by
• 58:10
  Speaker 3: polling data. So the polling data, which has been faulty
• 58:13
  Speaker 3: for her in the past, by the way. She nearly
• 58:16
  Speaker 3: lost the race four years ago.
• 58:17
  Speaker 20: Faulty polling data, probably.
• 58:20
  Speaker 3: Polling data says ICE is bad among most likely voters.
• 58:24
  Speaker 1: Therefore, among most.
• 58:26
  Speaker 3: Likely Democrats, there are more of them in New York
• 58:27
  Speaker 3: State than Republicans.
• 58:29
  Speaker 2: Therefore, ICE is very bad.
• 58:31
  Speaker 3: If you move further away from ICE and you can
• 58:34
  Speaker 3: condemn ICE, then you take on Trump, who's underwater right
• 58:37
  Speaker 3: now in New York State polls.
• 58:39
  Speaker 20: It's a two-first.
• 58:40
  Speaker 3: You win the argument. Do you really win the argument?
• 58:43
  Speaker 3: The answer is no. If Bruce Flakeman comes up with
• 58:45
  Speaker 3: a rational policy about a new road to citizenship for
• 58:50
  Speaker 3: people who've lived here, worked here, raised families, and are
• 58:53
  Speaker 3: not criminals and really want to make America work, then
• 58:56
  Speaker 3: he wins the argument. But holding ICE itself, you know,
• 59:00
  Speaker 3: she's found something that works and that people tend to,
• 59:03
  Speaker 3: the Lander people that she really needs will tend to
• 59:06
  Speaker 3: vote for her with greater intensity, period.
• 59:09
  Speaker 13: Not about good.
• 59:10
  Speaker 20: Or bad.
• 59:10
  Speaker 3: It's about winning elections. The political industrial complex has taken
• 59:14
  Speaker 3: over our discourse. And so long as that continues, we
• 59:17
  Speaker 3: will be a nation without any real long-term values or
• 59:21
  Speaker 3: concerns or ethics.
• 59:23
  Speaker 7: Hank, I got to ask you a question. I think
• 59:25
  Speaker 7: the Democrats are really missing the boat on something. I believe,
• 59:29
  Speaker 7: that that Supreme Court decision earlier this year, striking down
• 59:33
  Speaker 7: race as a criteria to draw up a congressional district,
• 59:36
  Speaker 7: is actually the most liberating thing for black voters since
• 59:40
  Speaker 7: at least the 1964 Civil Rights Act and maybe even Reconstruction.
• 59:44
  Speaker 7: Why do I say that, Hank? Because millions of black
• 59:47
  Speaker 7: voters have now been liberated from feudal congressional districts where
• 59:51
  Speaker 7: their votes were a foregone conclusion. And now they are
• 59:54
  Speaker 7: swing voters, which is what you want to be in America.
• 59:56
  Speaker 7: You want to be a swing voter. We've already seen
• 59:58
  Speaker 7: the data. In the Tennessee primaries where black voters voted
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 7: a lot more.
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 5: Why?
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 7: Because they're now actually in the game. They're in the
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 7: game for something in districts where their votes matter. Aren't
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 7: the Democrats by protesting this instead of taking advantage of
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 7: it and saying, hey, now you're voting in these swing elections?
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 7: To me, this is a tremendous fail on their part.
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 3: Well, it might be. I mean, I think it's an
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 3: important question. The data, if you look at the political
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 3: science journals, which, you know, since the PhD, for whatever reason,
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 3: if you look at political science journals, what you'll find
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 3: is there's historical trends since the Kennedy administration, since Obama.
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 3: Since the sense that John Kennedy and his brother were
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 3: were advocates for Martin Luther King when he was imprisoned
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 3: in the Birmingham jail.
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 20: Look at the data.
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 3: What you find is that the queuing device in the
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 3: voting booth or voters generally, whether it's not in the
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 3: booth or on a piece of paper for voting patterns
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 3: by blacks, African-Americans in this country has been the Democrat line.
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 3: It's not anything else. It's not even candidates. So, you know,
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 3: there's an argument for Democrats to make that there's a
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 3: kind of a, which they can take advantage of, there's
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 3: a dislocation by voters against voters that was not necessary.
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 20: Is it liberating?
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 3: Well, you say that today. People aren't likely to feel it.
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 3: The polling data will show that it's not liberating right
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 3: now and maybe in the future. And that's really the
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 3: answer to your question.
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 7: I just think that when you're in a feudal district,
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 7: a lot of people were equating those districts as some
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 7: kind of a plantation. I don't like using that kind
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 7: of slavery terminology, but it's more like feudalism. These, you know,
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 7: the Hakeem Jeffries of the world, they never have to
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 7: do a good job. They're going to get reelected. And
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 7: that to me is basically political imprisonment.
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 8: Well, until right, right, Hank, until you start to get
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 8: in front of somebody like an AOC or now a Mamdani,
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 8: and they turn around and they say, We're not voting
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 8: for you as Speaker. And finally, Hakeem Jeffries realizes that
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 8: his own party is now fractured beyond belief.
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 13: Well, the Democrat Party, as.
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 20: We know it, is over.
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 3: You're going to see some splintering of unions that have
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 3: been historically the enforcement tool for Democrats to force people
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 3: to get into line. They're gone. I mean, the industrial
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 3: unions left a long time ago. The public sector unions
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 3: are really much more in control. And a party like
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 3: that is not really a party. It's a collection of
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 3: groups fighting each other for dominance.
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 20: That doesn't work.
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 3: The Republicans are much more united on basic arguments. And
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 3: in order for Democrats to win, they've got to be
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 3: able to do what historically they've done over the last,
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 3: let's say, 20 to 30 years since the breakdown of
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 3: labor started, even longer under Ronald Reagan, really began and
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 3: took on a life of its own.
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 7: They've got to be able to speak to groups.
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 3: That's how they do it.
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 7: Thank you so much for joining us. When we come back,
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 7: we're going to get you updated on the latest.

• 1:02:49
  Speaker 5: Well, as people say, a 5 o'clock show, we get
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 5: so much intelligence. The intelligence agencies call us to find
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 5: out what the heck is going on or listens to us.
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 5: Some breaking news on those ferries out there. It was
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 5: on the Turkish side of Cyprus. It was done by
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 5: a Pakistani crew. that could not understand the people begging
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 5: for them for help. And I have not heard from
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 5: the Greek Cyprus side at all. And we put in
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 5: a call for them.
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 7: This is this deadly ferry accident you're talking about.
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 5: I guess they have 18 dead for sure and 18
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 5: missing for sure. And, you know, something like that, you know,
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 5: in those kind of waters should not happen.
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 7: You know, we hear every once in a while there's
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 7: a ferry incident either in Asia or in Europe where
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 7: we find out the crew wasn't. Oh, yeah.
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 5: Even in New York. Even in New York.
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 7: Yeah, we had that sat-down ferry guy who fell asleep
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 7: at the wheel.
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 5: That is horrible. And the guy was a limousine driver.
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 5: Didn't even have a license to drive that. Wasn't he drunk?
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 7: Or had some kind of issue, but this is, this
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 7: is to me, the big, you know, yeah. We don't,
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 7: whenever you go on a public transportation, they say your
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 7: safety is most important to us. I don't, I don't
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 7: think so.
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 5: Let's take a break. Uh, and I understand, I think

  Speaker 2: All right.
• 1:05:45

• 1:05:49
  Speaker 5: thing we haven't had from Star Trek yet. Yeah.
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 2: Is what?
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 17: The teleporter.
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 7: The teleporter I want very much.
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 5: But it looks like, according to Dr. Michalos and all
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 5: the other doctors I know, Dr. Siegel, my new friend, Dr. Pritzker,
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 5: and right now there are some big things happening, I understand,
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 5: in Staten Island. Big things happened in Staten Island last night,
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 5: and who better to tell us what the heck is
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 5: going on We have the borough president of Staten Island,
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 5: Vito Fussella. One common sense guy. He is a common
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 5: sense guy. His father was a Democrat. He is a Republican. And, well,
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 5: Vito Fussella. Well, let's teleport to Vito Fussella. How about that?
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 5: Let's teleport. Vito Fussella, give us what the, I mean,
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 5: big things happened in Staten Island yesterday. Give us the big,
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 5: the great news.
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 11: Well, yeah, good to be with you, John, as always,
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 11: and Michael. And my friend is Dr.
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 5: Don't forget about Jake Novak.
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 11: You remember Dr.
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 5: Chivago? So where am I, love?
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 11: So, yeah, there was a very nice thing happening at
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 11: your stadium, John, over the weekend and something the world
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 11: could use more of, just people coming out, expressing their
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 11: support of the community, loving Staten Island. And one of
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 11: the best venues of any stadium in the country, let
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 11: alone the world, more people should take advantage of it.
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 11: And it was just people coming together to express their
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 11: support for this great borough of Staten Island, great community.
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 11: It supports its men and women in law enforcement. They
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 11: care about their schools, want to keep this place safe.
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 11: It would be probably the safest big city in the
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 11: United States. And we're there for each other. And that's
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 11: what we're trying to preserve and enhance. And that's why
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 11: we still see so many people coming and moving to
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 11: Staten Island for a better quality of life. And that's
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 11: what we try to do. And Fortunately, you and Margo
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 11: and others took over the reins of the Ferry Locks
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 11: a few years ago and have been doing wonderful to
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 11: promote it. And I think it's just one more great
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 11: part of what they call community and loving it. And
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 11: that's what it was all about.
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 7: And it wasn't just the Staten Island. It was the
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 7: Staten Island America Day. I mean, people coming out. They
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 7: were buying the hot dogs. They were seeing baseball. Just
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 7: an amazing, amazing event. Vito, I have to ask you, though.
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 7: I think you're going to have a lot of days
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 7: like yesterday coming up, especially next year. I'm sorry I
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 7: can't ignore the elephant in the room. Almost every person
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 7: who really has inside information or not so inside information
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 7: about Major League Baseball is expecting a significant work stoppage
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 7: next year. And that's going to be great news for
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 7: the Ferry Hawks and these other independent teams because that's
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 7: going to be the only baseball in town, I think,
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 7: for a significant portion of next summer. I don't wish
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 7: it to happen, but I do like the idea that
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 7: this might bring more people out to that ballpark you
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 7: say everyone needs to visit.
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 11: Yeah, it's a fair point. I think it's a question
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 11: of the probability of it happening and would be bittersweet, right,
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 11: for those Major League Baseball... fans if they have to
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 11: see a stoppage. But the flip side is if it
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 11: brings attention, more attention to the Ferry Hawks and the stadium.
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 11: You know, people have to envision like a day like yesterday,
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 11: you overlook New York Harbor and People come from all
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 11: over the world to see the Statue of Liberty, to
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 11: see New York, the skyline. And you get that for
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 11: practically nothing at the Ferry Hawk Stadium. And it's just
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 11: a short visit, literally a fast ferry at the base
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 11: of the stadium, 18 minutes or so from downtown Brookfield.
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 11: Big town, about a half hour or so. So if
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 11: you're in Manhattan or visiting as a tourist and you
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 11: want to come and see something different and special, you're
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 11: literally only a half hour or less than a half
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 11: hour away. So I think it's just one more way
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 11: to promote it. And you guys have been doing a
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 11: great job. And as we all say, the best days
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 11: are ahead.
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 5: Can you talk for a second? Just one second. I'll
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 5: go to you. What I really want is the Cyclones,
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 5: the other big minor league team in New York, in Brooklyn.
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 5: And we have the Hawks, the Ferry Hawks in Staten Island. Well,
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 5: the Mets and the Yankees are playing a subway series.
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 5: How about the Ferry Hawks and the Cyclones maybe having
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 5: a ferry series? That's a great idea.
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 22: Yeah.
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 7: And taking a boat. The teams take a boat.
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 5: Taking a boat back and forth from Brooklyn. And there's
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 5: a high-speed boat on now from Brooklyn to Staten Island.
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 5: And high-speed boats and regular ferries from Manhattan to Staten Island.
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 5: I mean, we'll make Staten Island great again. I love it.
• 1:10:41
  Speaker 2: Put it together.
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 11: Let's take the boat ride, whatever you want to do.
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 11: I'm all on board, John. And, you know, the flip
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 11: side is next week on September 9th, it's just a
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 11: grim reminder of what the impact September 11th had, 25th anniversary.
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 11: The fire department is going to have a ceremony at
• 1:10:59
  Speaker 11: the stadium. I think it's 4 o'clock. And once again,
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 11: that reflects the contribution of the service, firemen, police officers,
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 11: Port Authority, and so many more, and obviously the private sector, individuals,
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 11: just innocent people lost their life. And that will be
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 11: the stage for the 25th anniversary hosted by the New
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 11: York City Fire Department. So we got to pause and
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 11: reflect on that day, the significance, the carnage that took
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 11: place and the families who still suffer. But we stick
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 11: together and we're not going anywhere, John. So, yeah, we're
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 11: going to continue to make Staten Island great, continue to
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 11: promote it for families and schools and across the board.
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 11: And that's what it's all about.
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 8: And if I'm not mistaken, Staten Island has seen a
• 1:11:48
  Speaker 8: tremendous increase in terms of safety. over the course of
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 8: the past, I don't know, decade? What do you attribute
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 8: that to?
• 1:11:59
  Speaker 11: To safety? I just think it's against the backdrop, Michael.
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 11: If you remember a few years ago, there were nutjobs
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 11: who were promoting defunding the police, and there were riots,
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 11: and the police were told to stand down.
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 5: You mean like Kathy Hochul?
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 11: Well, I'm not going to point names, but there are
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 11: a lot of folks who just went along with it, right?
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 11: Their silence was complicit in allowing these things to happen.
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 11: I can recall watching with just total disgust as cops
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 11: were being hit over the head with like concrete buckets.
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 11: And there were political officials who were saying, take that
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 11: guy's badge away because they were responding. I say that
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 11: because in other parts of the city, it was sort
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 11: of okay. But on Staten Island, we said no. We
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 11: support the men and women in the New York City
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 11: Police Department. We're not going to let these nut jobs
• 1:12:53
  Speaker 11: take over. Most, vast, vast majority, 98, 99% of the
• 1:12:59
  Speaker 11: people just want to live freely. They want to have peace.
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 11: They want their children to go to school safely. They
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 11: want their daughters to walk the streets without fear of
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 11: being attacked or assaulted. We worked very closely with the
• 1:13:13
  Speaker 11: district attorney. And we send the message that in Staten Island,
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 11: if you cross the line, there will be consequences and
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 11: there will be accountability, despite what the state legislature has
• 1:13:26
  Speaker 11: done with so-called bail reform. where I could tell you
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 11: there are people, guys who were arrested 10, 15, 20
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 11: times and back on the street who should be in jail.
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 11: But around here, we just say, no, we're going to
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 11: do what we can, and we're going to keep Staten
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 11: Island safe. So to your point, Michael, I think we've
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 11: only had one homicide this year, perhaps.
• 1:13:47
  Speaker 8: Yeah, that's what I read in the paper. I mean,
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 8: as we were sitting during a break, we heard over
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 8: breaking news that in– that there was a woman who
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 8: was attacked in, what was it, Park Slope. Literally, not
• 1:14:01
  Speaker 8: only was she attacked, but they also sexually assaulted her.
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 8: This is in the middle of the street. This is
• 1:14:10
  Speaker 8: how bad lawlessness has gotten.
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 11: Yeah, and it's all great when they talk about all
• 1:14:17
  Speaker 11: these bases, why they support these reforms or so-called reforms,
• 1:14:22
  Speaker 11: until it's your kid, until it's your girlfriend, until it's
• 1:14:25
  Speaker 11: your wife. And then all of a sudden it becomes real.
• 1:14:29
  Speaker 11: And our view around here, many stat line owners work
• 1:14:33
  Speaker 11: in Brooklyn or work in Manhattan for the sake of argument.
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 11: They deserve the same level of safety as if they
• 1:14:40
  Speaker 11: walk the streets of Staten Island, and that's why we've
• 1:14:43
  Speaker 11: got to keep pushing it. And every one of these individuals,
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 11: these victims, they should not be faceless and nameless. They
• 1:14:50
  Speaker 11: should be exhibit A as to why we need to
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 11: keep bad people off the streets of this city so
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 11: most people can just walk around and be free and
• 1:15:00
  Speaker 11: live in peace.
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 7: Vita Vassella, borough president of Staten Island, reminding us that
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 7: sporting events... have much more meaning than just balls and
• 1:15:08
  Speaker 7: strikes and score on the scoreboard. I appreciate it. I
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 7: love when people just get together in large gatherings these days.
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 7: People are on their phones the whole time and they're
• 1:15:17
  Speaker 7: not getting together and talking.
• 1:15:18
  Speaker 5: Or balls and strikes and safety throughout America. Well, what
• 1:15:21
  Speaker 5: we're trying to do, by the way, in the stadium
• 1:15:25
  Speaker 5: in Staten Island is bring soccer, bring a whole entertainment center,
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 5: and I've talked to economic development. They're eventually going to
• 1:15:33
  Speaker 5: put a... highway and I suggested to them that they
• 1:15:37
  Speaker 5: put it along the coastline so they don't interrupt the neighborhood.
• 1:15:43
  Speaker 5: Just like Manhattan has the Henry Hudson Parkway or the
• 1:15:46
  Speaker 5: FDR Drive, if you put it along the northern part
• 1:15:52
  Speaker 5: from the Verrazano Bridge all the way to the New
• 1:15:56
  Speaker 5: Jersey Bridge, then you speed up people being able to
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 5: get to the stadium and without having to go through
• 1:16:04
  Speaker 5: all the neighborhoods.
• 1:16:05
  Speaker 7: Well, just keep putting a good product on the field,
• 1:16:07
  Speaker 7: and people will come no matter what.
• 1:16:09
  Speaker 5: Well, you've got Vito Fussella, a great borough president, and
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 5: we love the people of Staten Island. Vito, God bless.
• 1:16:18
  Speaker 5: Thank you so much.
• 1:16:19
  Speaker 7: Next half hour, Todd Shapiro and Alan Dershowitz joining us.
• 1:16:22
  Speaker 5: Well, yeah. We're going to take a break, and we're
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 5: going to come back with Todd Shapiro. He's going to
• 1:16:25
  Speaker 5: give us a lowdown on what the hell happened in
• 1:16:27
  Speaker 5: the Hamptons this weekend. What is worse, or what is best?
• 1:16:30
  Speaker 9: Get it!
• 1:16:32
  Speaker 10: Oh, oh, oh, domino All right Romeo, Romeo There you go.
• 1:16:40
  Speaker 7: Lord have mercy I said, oh, oh, domino.
• 1:16:44
  Speaker 10: Romeo, Romeo There you go Say.
• 1:16:51
  Speaker 21: It again.
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 15: Well, from the Apple Bank traffic desk, you're traveling on
• 1:17:14
  Speaker 15: the westbound Long Island Expressway, Nassau County, exit 41.
• 1:17:17
  Speaker 16: There is an accident at that point. You've got a
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 16: pretty decent delay behind that. And then also, as you
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 16: get a little further west, a lot further west, actually,
• 1:17:25
  Speaker 16: Woodhaven Boulevard, there's an accident again. The right lane out
• 1:17:28
  Speaker 16: of service at that area. Now, on the BQE, we're
• 1:17:30
  Speaker 16: still looking at the disabled tractor trailer on the southbound
• 1:17:33
  Speaker 16: side of Queen Boulevard still being cleared. Westbound on the
• 1:17:36
  Speaker 16: crosswalks coming into the Deegan, a disabled vehicle. Again, the
• 1:17:39
  Speaker 16: right lane going to be out of service. Now, the
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 16: transit authority, we still have these delays on the A,
• 1:17:44
  Speaker 16: the C, the B, the D. Again, that because of
• 1:17:47
  Speaker 16: that urgent track bed repair that is going on. And
• 1:17:50
  Speaker 16: then also, as you get out onto Staten Island, it's
• 1:17:53
  Speaker 16: just coming in on the eastbound side, just about mid-island,
• 1:17:56
  Speaker 16: right around Toad Hill. There is a disabled vehicle. The
• 1:17:58
  Speaker 16: left lane going to be out. And alternate side of
• 1:18:01
  Speaker 16: the street parking rules are in effect. With an Apple Bank,

• 1:18:49
  Speaker 1: This is Sid and Friends in the Morning.
• 1:18:53
  Speaker 2: 77 WABC. You are my love and my life.
• 1:19:14
  Speaker 7: Best editing of a rock band name ever. I think
• 1:19:17
  Speaker 7: it was originally the Chicago Transit Authority and they just switched.
• 1:19:20
  Speaker 20: It to Chicago.
• 1:19:21
  Speaker 7: Brevity is the soul of wit, my friend.
• 1:19:24
  Speaker 5: Smart move.
• 1:19:25
  Speaker 7: Yeah, you know, sometimes you gotta cut things out. Or
• 1:19:29
  Speaker 7: as they say in Reader's Digest, brevity is wit.
• 1:19:32
  Speaker 8: They got rid of the word Or man lips, for
• 1:19:35
  Speaker 8: that matter.
• 1:19:35
  Speaker 5: In honor, do we have that segment with the Vice
• 1:19:41
  Speaker 5: President Pence?
• 1:19:42
  Speaker 7: Yeah, here it is.
• 1:19:43
  Speaker 5: In honor, this is in honor of all the hate
• 1:19:46
  Speaker 5: mail Michael Cohen is getting.
• 1:19:48
  Speaker 26: Well, you talk about the case for conservative principles, and
• 1:19:52
  Speaker 26: I'm going to read some of your book in just
• 1:19:54
  Speaker 26: a moment. But you also talk about the importance of character,
• 1:19:57
  Speaker 26: that character matters in public service. Ken Paxton was indicted.
• 1:20:01
  Speaker 26: On security fraud charges in 2015, he was impeached by
• 1:20:05
  Speaker 26: members of his own party over alleged bribery in 2023.
• 1:20:09
  Speaker 26: His wife filed for divorce in 2025 after accusing him
• 1:20:13
  Speaker 26: of adultery. Bottom line, Mr. Vice President, do you support
• 1:20:18
  Speaker 26: Ken Paxton?
• 1:20:19
  Speaker 1: Well, I could never.
• 1:20:20
  Speaker 4: If I was voting in Texas, I could never vote
• 1:20:22
  Speaker 4: for the Democrat nominee, Tallarico, who is a Radical left
• 1:20:28
  Speaker 4: supports abortion on demand.
• 1:20:30
  Speaker 26: But do you support Ken Paxton?
• 1:20:32
  Speaker 4: Gender ideology of the Democratic Party. Look, I think in
• 1:20:35
  Speaker 4: many respects, Republicans have lost our way, but Democrats have
• 1:20:40
  Speaker 4: lost their mind.
• 1:20:42
  Speaker 8: And they really have lost their mind. And again, I'm
• 1:20:45
  Speaker 8: still a registered Democrat, though I.
• 1:20:49
  Speaker 5: I identify as an independent because I cannot.
• 1:20:53
  Speaker 7: Don't get a surgery. No surgery. No independent surgery.
• 1:20:57
  Speaker 5: It's not paid for anymore. So it is beyond.
• 1:21:00
  Speaker 8: I had yesterday on my five o'clock show, when you know,
• 1:21:03
  Speaker 8: you know, I had as one of my two guests,
• 1:21:06
  Speaker 8: Laura Loomer. And that set the Democrats off.
• 1:21:10
  Speaker 11: Why?
• 1:21:11
  Speaker 5: For what reason? If you don't like... Tell everybody who
• 1:21:14
  Speaker 5: she is.
• 1:21:15
  Speaker 8: Well, Laura Loomer is a supporter and a strong supporter
• 1:21:20
  Speaker 8: of Donald Trump. She is a political pundit, and she
• 1:21:26
  Speaker 8: is the host of... Independent reporter. Independent reporter, and she
• 1:21:30
  Speaker 8: has her own show called Loomered. The fact that I
• 1:21:33
  Speaker 8: had Laura Loomer, on my show drove them crazy. In fact,
• 1:21:38
  Speaker 8: one person writes, and talk about how ridiculous they can be,
• 1:21:41
  Speaker 8: this person, Mickey, writes to me, you.
• 1:21:46
  Speaker 5: Speaks so stupid.
• 1:21:48
  Speaker 7: You can't make this up.
• 1:21:49
  Speaker 5: You can't make it up.
• 1:21:50
  Speaker 8: And I'm trying to obviously keep out the ones with
• 1:21:54
  Speaker 8: the multiple four-letter words to them. But it is incredible
• 1:21:59
  Speaker 8: how something like An open conversation. And in my conversation
• 1:22:04
  Speaker 8: with Laura, we don't agree on everything. We're not supposed
• 1:22:08
  Speaker 8: to agree on everything.
• 1:22:09
  Speaker 5: We've got to be civilized. A hundred percent. But they're not.
• 1:22:12
  Speaker 5: They go to the nth degree. So Mike Pence.
• 1:22:15
  Speaker 11: Yep.
• 1:22:16
  Speaker 5: You're correct. Democrats have lost their mind.
• 1:22:19
  Speaker 7: Well, if Laura ever gets sick of you, send her
• 1:22:21
  Speaker 7: my way, because I think I do agree with everything
• 1:22:23
  Speaker 7: she says. She has become I mean, her real angle.
• 1:22:27
  Speaker 7: Now we talked about she's an independent journalist. She's she's
• 1:22:30
  Speaker 7: a supporter of President Trump. But a big part of
• 1:22:32
  Speaker 7: her brand in the last couple of years has been
• 1:22:34
  Speaker 7: warning President Trump about people either in his circle or
• 1:22:38
  Speaker 7: near him who don't have his best interests in mind.
• 1:22:40
  Speaker 7: And she's usually right, Michael.
• 1:22:42
  Speaker 5: Well, that she's right about.
• 1:22:44
  Speaker 8: But Jake Novak, by the way, happens to be the
• 1:22:46
  Speaker 8: president of the Laura Loomer fan club.
• 1:22:49
  Speaker 5: It is what it is. Let's go to Todd Shapiro,
• 1:22:52
  Speaker 5: one of the most well-known PR guys in the world. Well,
• 1:22:57
  Speaker 5: it happened ever since he became Mayor Adams' PR guy.
• 1:23:02
  Speaker 5: And reporting in from the great island of Long Island,
• 1:23:07
  Speaker 5: a great segment, the Hamptons. Well, Todd Shapiro, what the
• 1:23:12
  Speaker 5: heck is going on? It was some weekend. You wore
• 1:23:15
  Speaker 5: me out.
• 1:23:18
  Speaker 22: Well, you know what? It was a great weekend. As
• 1:23:21
  Speaker 22: you always say, the sun is shining and You know,
• 1:23:24
  Speaker 22: it was, first of all, it was probably the biggest
• 1:23:27
  Speaker 22: Greek weekend of all. Are you kidding?
• 1:23:31
  Speaker 5: Stop with the Greeks. I mean, it was Greek. Baklava
• 1:23:34
  Speaker 5: for all. Half the room in the gala on Saturday
• 1:23:38
  Speaker 5: night was Jews. Well, Jews love baklava, you know.
• 1:23:41
  Speaker 7: And by the way, Greece just signed a three billion
• 1:23:45
  Speaker 7: euro deal with Israel for a defense. I wanted to
• 1:23:47
  Speaker 7: make the whole show about Greece and Israel making a
• 1:23:49
  Speaker 7: defense deal. But go ahead, Dr.
• 1:23:51
  Speaker 9: Biel.
• 1:23:51
  Speaker 11: Sorry.
• 1:23:52
  Speaker 22: Well, John, I mean, John and Father Alex, they started
• 1:23:55
  Speaker 22: a thing called Blue Dream. And I guess it started
• 1:23:59
  Speaker 22: as a dream. But, you know, as John says, it
• 1:24:02
  Speaker 22: has a lot of check appeal. It was just probably
• 1:24:05
  Speaker 22: the richest people in the world were in Southampton this
• 1:24:09
  Speaker 22: weekend going to Blue Dream. And they had an artist
• 1:24:13
  Speaker 22: who's like, you know, the Frank Sinatra today of Greece.
• 1:24:17
  Speaker 22: And people were going crazy over it. And it was just,
• 1:24:20
  Speaker 22: it was an amazing time. And, you know, I think
• 1:24:22
  Speaker 22: everybody came out for this.
• 1:24:25
  Speaker 5: And Latisha James came.
• 1:24:28
  Speaker 22: It was, it was, it was, it was like, you know,
• 1:24:31
  Speaker 22: strange bedfellows at the table.
• 1:24:34
  Speaker 11: Yeah.
• 1:24:34
  Speaker 22: You had the, you had Tish James, you had the
• 1:24:37
  Speaker 22: Suffolk County police commissioner and the Suffolk County sheriff, which
• 1:24:42
  Speaker 22: all have nothing.
• 1:24:42
  Speaker 7: In common, but they're suing each other.
• 1:24:45
  Speaker 2: Law and order.
• 1:24:46
  Speaker 7: They're suing each other. I mean, aren't, aren't the Suffolk
• 1:24:49
  Speaker 7: County police, Sheriff's a part of the people suing Letitia
• 1:24:52
  Speaker 7: James and Governor Hochul over the no ice cooperation law.
• 1:24:55
  Speaker 7: So it's nice. Listen, you're a miracle worker.
• 1:24:57
  Speaker 11: It was.
• 1:24:59
  Speaker 13: But you know what?
• 1:25:00
  Speaker 22: The guy who had the guy who had the table
• 1:25:03
  Speaker 22: wrote checks to everybody. So, you know, they all came
• 1:25:05
  Speaker 22: to pay homage to him. But it was it was
• 1:25:09
  Speaker 22: it was an amazing event. John, the weekend was really
• 1:25:12
  Speaker 22: an incredible weekend for politics. I mean, John, it started off.
• 1:25:16
  Speaker 22: On Saturday morning, John hosts, you know, this breakfast every
• 1:25:19
  Speaker 22: Saturday where it's the Hampton Business Breakfast. And that Congressman Leota, that...
• 1:25:27
  Speaker 22: The congressman from Palm Beach.
• 1:25:29
  Speaker 5: Congressman Bill Arrakis, Congressman Lillota from the Hamptons. But usually,
• 1:25:35
  Speaker 5: I mean, we have, we had Governor Hochul the week before,
• 1:25:39
  Speaker 5: and we had Bruce Blakeman the week before that. And
• 1:25:43
  Speaker 5: Michael Cohen the week before that. And Michael Cohen the
• 1:25:45
  Speaker 5: week before that. Michael Cohen. As a fill-in. You were
• 1:25:48
  Speaker 5: the fill-in because somebody didn't show up. That was the governor. No,
• 1:25:54
  Speaker 5: it was somebody else. Something happened, right? Something happened. Where
• 1:25:57
  Speaker 5: there was a shooting. So I woke up. Oh, Commissioner Tisch,
• 1:26:03
  Speaker 5: who ended up coming up on the weekend after. And
• 1:26:09
  Speaker 5: Michael Cohen, I woke him up. It was 6 o'clock
• 1:26:11
  Speaker 5: in the morning. I said, Michael, are you out here?
• 1:26:15
  Speaker 5: I need you. And, of course, John asks. You run.
• 1:26:19
  Speaker 7: I never get that call at 6 a.m. on Saturday
• 1:26:21
  Speaker 7: because that's when I'm wrapping up my show, my live
• 1:26:22
  Speaker 7: show here.
• 1:26:23
  Speaker 5: Can I talk to you at 5 a.m.? Yeah, yeah.
• 1:26:25
  Speaker 7: No, I mean, I get the texts and things like that.
• 1:26:27
  Speaker 7: My favorite is when I'm just about to do a
• 1:26:29
  Speaker 7: story that John has texted me to do. And I
• 1:26:32
  Speaker 7: know I've all got it ready. So that's always a
• 1:26:34
  Speaker 7: good convergence.
• 1:26:35
  Speaker 5: But Todd, Todd has to tell us, too, about the
• 1:26:38
  Speaker 5: big event yesterday.
• 1:26:41
  Speaker 20: Sorry.
• 1:26:41
  Speaker 7: Yeah, go ahead, Todd. What happened yesterday?
• 1:26:43
  Speaker 22: So you had that, and then you had the milking conference.
• 1:26:47
  Speaker 22: Michael Milken does this non-for-profit. We had Howard Ludnick come
• 1:26:51
  Speaker 22: and speak at that. She had him speaking. Bruce Blakeman
• 1:26:55
  Speaker 22: did a fundraiser out in Watermill, raised hundreds of thousands
• 1:26:57
  Speaker 22: of dollars. And I got to tell you something. This
• 1:27:00
  Speaker 22: race for governor is getting closer and closer. And the
• 1:27:04
  Speaker 22: reason being is last year at this time, I mean,
• 1:27:07
  Speaker 22: four years ago this time, Zeldin was 20 points behind. Now,
• 1:27:12
  Speaker 22: if they're telling you 10 points, it's probably closer to
• 1:27:14
  Speaker 22: five points. And what happens is, and what's happened a lot,
• 1:27:19
  Speaker 22: and Eric Adams said it really well, years ago, the
• 1:27:22
  Speaker 22: only people to vote were on Social Security. Today, the
• 1:27:26
  Speaker 22: people that vote today are on social media. And it's
• 1:27:29
  Speaker 22: a different drive of people. And it's changing in such
• 1:27:33
  Speaker 22: a different way between people on, you know, if you
• 1:27:36
  Speaker 22: go on local weeklies, nobody reads the paper anymore. They're
• 1:27:39
  Speaker 22: on Facebook. They're on, you know, Instagram. They're on TikTok.
• 1:27:43
  Speaker 22: And it's three different generations that's driving people to vote.
• 1:27:46
  Speaker 22: So they're watching videos, and videos are changing the way.
• 1:27:49
  Speaker 22: And if you look at Bruce Blakeman's videos, they're really good,
• 1:27:52
  Speaker 22: and they're really, you know, and that's what, you know,
• 1:27:55
  Speaker 22: led Mayor Zolan to vote. to basically get elected. I
• 1:27:58
  Speaker 22: think that's changing a lot.
• 1:28:00
  Speaker 7: Yeah, you know, Todd Shapiro, you know, we got a
• 1:28:02
  Speaker 7: difference of opinion here in the studio about Bruce Blakeman's campaigning.
• 1:28:06
  Speaker 7: I think he's doing a pretty good job. I think
• 1:28:08
  Speaker 7: that you don't want to go too hard on a
• 1:28:11
  Speaker 7: statewide election in America, especially in a non-presidential election year
• 1:28:15
  Speaker 7: until September. I think Bruce Blakeman is doing pretty well, actually,
• 1:28:18
  Speaker 7: and we'll see what he does this coming month. Michael
• 1:28:20
  Speaker 7: Cohen would like to see him do a little bit better.
• 1:28:22
  Speaker 5: No, I'd like to see him do a lot more.
• 1:28:24
  Speaker 5: I think that Kathy Hochul is a disaster for the
• 1:28:28
  Speaker 5: state of New York, and I don't think there's enough
• 1:28:32
  Speaker 5: out there about how much of a disaster that she
• 1:28:35
  Speaker 5: has made of New York.
• 1:28:39
  Speaker 7: Well, speaking of her.
• 1:28:40
  Speaker 22: But if you look at... You know who Bruce Blakeman's
• 1:28:44
  Speaker 22: running mate is?
• 1:28:46
  Speaker 20: It's the mayor of New York City.
• 1:28:48
  Speaker 7: No, it's the mayor of New York City. Oh, yeah,
• 1:28:50
  Speaker 7: good point.
• 1:28:50
  Speaker 22: When he goes to every place, when he travels to Syracuse,
• 1:28:53
  Speaker 22: when he travels to Buffalo, when he goes there and
• 1:28:56
  Speaker 22: talks about People are scared about a socialist mayor coming
• 1:29:02
  Speaker 22: around and being part of that culture where it's come
• 1:29:05
  Speaker 22: where the state is starting to endorse. They're afraid that's
• 1:29:07
  Speaker 22: going to come closer to home. And I think that's
• 1:29:10
  Speaker 22: resonating all over the place. Between what you guys talked
• 1:29:13
  Speaker 22: about before with bail reform, I do work for the
• 1:29:15
  Speaker 22: Suffolk County DA. And I got to tell you, you
• 1:29:17
  Speaker 22: know how many people, judges are letting people go because
• 1:29:20
  Speaker 22: of the bail reform and the laws that are affected.
• 1:29:22
  Speaker 22: It's changed a lot. People could go out. I mean,
• 1:29:24
  Speaker 22: look at John with supermarkets. People going to supermarkets, they
• 1:29:28
  Speaker 22: could steal. And you know what happens to them? You know,
• 1:29:31
  Speaker 22: as John says, you've got nothing. Nothing happens to people.
• 1:29:35
  Speaker 22: So so I think the whole thing, they're afraid of
• 1:29:37
  Speaker 22: the socialist mayor happening to the cities. I think Bruce
• 1:29:40
  Speaker 22: is resonating a lot of ways. And I think, you know,
• 1:29:43
  Speaker 22: no one really could. Years ago, you'd give out a
• 1:29:45
  Speaker 22: sponge and you knock on doors. The only people voting
• 1:29:47
  Speaker 22: were senior citizens. Today, it's all on social media. I
• 1:29:50
  Speaker 22: think it's a whole new crowd that's coming out. And
• 1:29:53
  Speaker 22: I think Bruce really does have a chance, and it's
• 1:29:55
  Speaker 22: going to be a lot closer than it is. And
• 1:29:58
  Speaker 22: I think, you know, I think Kathy Hogle is a
• 1:30:00
  Speaker 22: really nice person, but I think you need a strong governor.
• 1:30:03
  Speaker 7: All right, Todd Shapiro.
• 1:30:04
  Speaker 22: I think that's going to be an important thing.
• 1:30:06
  Speaker 7: Thank you for keeping us updated on that incredible convergence
• 1:30:09
  Speaker 7: of social world and political world in the Hamptons. It
• 1:30:12
  Speaker 7: really is a gauge for a lot of American politics.
• 1:30:15
  Speaker 7: So thank you, Todd. We come back. We're going to
• 1:30:17
  Speaker 7: talk to Alan Dershowitz. A lot to talk to Professor
• 1:30:20
  Speaker 7: Dershowitz about. not the least of which being J.D. Vance
• 1:30:23
  Speaker 7: speaking to the big Republican-Jewish coalition tonight. That's going to
• 1:30:26
  Speaker 7: be a barn burner.
• 1:30:27
  Speaker 5: Is Sid still sleeping? He never called back?
• 1:30:29
  Speaker 7: Yeah, where's Sid? We've got to get Sid to tell
• 1:30:31
  Speaker 7: us what he's going to do.
• 1:30:31
  Speaker 5: Is he still sleeping?
• 1:30:33
  Speaker 7: He's our man on the ground in Vegas. Come on, Sid.
• 1:30:38
  Speaker 2: Come hold me.
• 1:30:39
  Speaker 10: Close Yeah, never release me Oh, baby, don't release me
• 1:30:45
  Speaker 10: Open your arms Let my love in.
• 1:30:51
  Speaker 13: Let me in.
• 1:30:52
  Speaker 2: Let me in.
• 1:30:54
  Speaker 10: Let me in.
• 1:30:55
  Speaker 2: Rockefeller Center and 77. W-A-B-C.
• 1:31:00
  Speaker 15: Both are real New York.
• 1:31:06
  Speaker 2: W-A-B-C.
• 1:31:07
  Speaker 1: Traffic and Transit.
• 1:31:08
  Speaker 16: Well, we'll start in New Jersey this time from the
• 1:31:10
  Speaker 16: Apple Bank Traffic Desk. If you're on the Garden State
• 1:31:12
  Speaker 16: Parkway northbound at 137. There is an accident there. That's
• 1:31:15
  Speaker 16: being cleared. Also delays southbound on Route 27 at Vineyard
• 1:31:18
  Speaker 16: Road in Edison. The right lane going to be out
• 1:31:21
  Speaker 16: as you get through that area. If you're heading to
• 1:31:23
  Speaker 16: Newark Airport, Terminal B, Level 3 arrivals. That is shut down.
• 1:31:27
  Speaker 16: And again, the reason for that is an earlier bus
• 1:31:29
  Speaker 16: accident that they're still in the process of investigating. If
• 1:31:32
  Speaker 16: you're going to be in the city, we continue to
• 1:31:34
  Speaker 16: have these delays on Staten Island now as you come eastbound.
• 1:31:37
  Speaker 16: Coming into Toad Hill Road, there is an accident at
• 1:31:39
  Speaker 16: that point. Long Island Expressway actually out in Nassau County
• 1:31:42
  Speaker 16: at exit 41. There's an accident then at Woodhaven Boulevard.
• 1:31:45
  Speaker 16: Another one that's being cleared. Still delays on the crosswalks
• 1:31:48
  Speaker 16: westbound getting to the Deegan with a disabled. That's in
• 1:31:51
  Speaker 16: the right lane. And again, expect disruptions, delays on the A,
• 1:31:55
  Speaker 16: the C, the B, and the D. That because of
• 1:31:57
  Speaker 16: ongoing track bed work and alternate side of the street
• 1:32:01
  Speaker 16: parking is in effect. With an Apple bag, pick your
• 1:32:03
  Speaker 16: own term CD. Get a guaranteed rate of return. That
• 1:32:06
  Speaker 16: fits your 6-12 month timeline. Stop by an Apple Bank
• 1:32:09
  Speaker 16: branch to open. Member FDIC. $ 25, 000 minimum deposit required to open.
• 1:32:14
  Speaker 17: New money only. Early withdrawal penalty may apply.
• 1:32:17
  Speaker 16: I'm Joe Nolan with traffic on Talk Radio 77 WABC.
• 1:32:23
  Speaker 1: Sit in friends in the morning.
• 1:32:25
  Speaker 2: 77 WABC.
• 1:32:31
  Speaker 13: New York on Sunday.
• 1:32:34
  Speaker 7: Big city, taking a nap. We got a lot to
• 1:32:37
  Speaker 7: talk about with Professor Alan Dershowitz. Welcome back to Sid
• 1:32:40
  Speaker 7: and Friends in the Morning. It's The Takeover again. Jake Novak,
• 1:32:42
  Speaker 7: Michael Cohen, and our owner-operator, John Kasmatidis. Professor Dershowitz, thank
• 1:32:47
  Speaker 7: you for joining us. Listen, I don't know about you,
• 1:32:49
  Speaker 7: but I am very anxious to hear, and I'm not
• 1:32:52
  Speaker 7: going to hear it live because it's been closed to
• 1:32:54
  Speaker 7: the press, but I'm very anxious to hear tonight this
• 1:32:57
  Speaker 7: speech or hear about it from J.D. Vance to the
• 1:33:00
  Speaker 7: Republican-Jewish Coalition because, of course, as you know, He seems
• 1:33:03
  Speaker 7: to be skating on different sides of the fence when
• 1:33:06
  Speaker 7: it comes to support for Israel, support for the Jewish community, etc., etc., etc.
• 1:33:11
  Speaker 7: And I don't think it's a great idea to be
• 1:33:13
  Speaker 7: a frontrunner for president this early. It's usually the kiss
• 1:33:16
  Speaker 7: of death, but he kind of is, at least. So
• 1:33:18
  Speaker 7: I'm wondering, are you also anxious to hear what he
• 1:33:21
  Speaker 7: has to say?
• 1:33:22
  Speaker 13: Sure. I mean, he may very well be the next
• 1:33:25
  Speaker 13: president of the United States, the most powerful man on
• 1:33:27
  Speaker 13: the face of the earth, the man who can determine
• 1:33:28
  Speaker 13: the fate not only of America, but.
• 1:33:31
  Speaker 5: But of Israel.
• 1:33:31
  Speaker 13: I do not regard J.D. Vance as anti-Israel based on
• 1:33:35
  Speaker 13: the current record. I think of him as something of
• 1:33:38
  Speaker 13: an isolationist, somebody who doesn't want to see American tax
• 1:33:43
  Speaker 13: money sent to foreign countries, including Israel. But I've never
• 1:33:47
  Speaker 13: seen him kind of single out Israel for condemnation.
• 1:33:51
  Speaker 11: Look, he may be the.
• 1:33:52
  Speaker 13: Frontrunner among a general population of Republicans. He surely is
• 1:33:58
  Speaker 13: not the frontrunner today among Jewish American Republicans. That clearly
• 1:34:03
  Speaker 13: is Rubio. Rubio clearly has the advantage.
• 1:34:07
  Speaker 5: Among Jewish voters, of course.
• 1:34:09
  Speaker 13: You know, Jewish voters constitute 2% of the population. You know,
• 1:34:14
  Speaker 13: anti-Semites think we control the world, control the media, control elections,
• 1:34:18
  Speaker 13: that AIPAC decides who the next president is going to be,
• 1:34:21
  Speaker 13: all of that nonsense. But we're only 2%, and among
• 1:34:25
  Speaker 13: Republicans even less, because... The majority of Jewish voters idiotically
• 1:34:31
  Speaker 13: still vote Democrat.
• 1:34:32
  Speaker 2: I don't know why they do.
• 1:34:33
  Speaker 13: I'm about to publish a book called Why I Left
• 1:34:36
  Speaker 13: the Dems and So Should You, Confessions of.
• 1:34:38
  Speaker 5: A Reluctant Republican.
• 1:34:40
  Speaker 13: And I think many, many more Jews are moving.
• 1:34:42
  Speaker 5: Away from Democrats.
• 1:34:44
  Speaker 13: Some of them are not becoming Republicans. My wife, for example,
• 1:34:47
  Speaker 13: she has left the Democratic Party. But she will not
• 1:34:49
  Speaker 13: become a Republican yet. She is now an independent. She
• 1:34:53
  Speaker 13: doesn't like Republican views on abortion, on separation of church
• 1:34:58
  Speaker 13: and state, on a range of other domestic issues. But
• 1:35:01
  Speaker 13: she can't vote Democrat. And she speaks, I think, for
• 1:35:04
  Speaker 13: a lot of very serious thinking.
• 1:35:08
  Speaker 8: I'm in the same exact camp, Alan. I'm in the
• 1:35:10
  Speaker 8: same exact camp as your wife. If you want, I'll
• 1:35:12
  Speaker 8: write the forward to your book. Because I cannot and
• 1:35:15
  Speaker 8: I will not ever– ascribe to a group of people
• 1:35:20
  Speaker 8: that will hold up the hand of someone like a
• 1:35:22
  Speaker 8: Graham Platner. and or a El-Sayed or a Mandani as
• 1:35:28
  Speaker 8: if they are the next coming of the Democratic Party.
• 1:35:31
  Speaker 5: Look, I agree with.
• 1:35:32
  Speaker 13: You, and I appreciate your willingness to write a preface
• 1:35:35
  Speaker 13: to my book, but that's already been taken. A guy named,
• 1:35:38
  Speaker 13: let me read it. Oh, yeah, President Donald Trump.
• 1:35:42
  Speaker 5: You know what? And he said, that is.
• 1:35:44
  Speaker 20: A great patriot.
• 1:35:45
  Speaker 13: It's our honor to welcome him to the party of
• 1:35:47
  Speaker 13: common sense. Now, the party of common sense, of course,
• 1:35:51
  Speaker 13: is exactly a quote from from Katz. He uses that
• 1:35:55
  Speaker 13: phrase all the time. So I think the president is
• 1:35:58
  Speaker 13: borrowing from our friend, John, when he talks about the.
• 1:36:01
  Speaker 5: Party of common sense. We started that. We started that
• 1:36:04
  Speaker 5: a couple of years ago on W.A.B.C. Common sense. Now
• 1:36:09
  Speaker 5: we should have patented it. But I guess it's not patentable.
• 1:36:12
  Speaker 13: Well, copyright. You might be able to copyright. But no,
• 1:36:16
  Speaker 13: I think it's better to have it in the public domain.
• 1:36:18
  Speaker 13: Let everybody out there understand that John Timothy is the
• 1:36:24
  Speaker 13: commentator of common sense. The Republican Party is the party
• 1:36:27
  Speaker 13: of common sense. And the Democratic Party is becoming a
• 1:36:31
  Speaker 13: very anti-American, anti-Israel, anti-common sense.
• 1:36:35
  Speaker 5: I look forward to reading your book, Alan. I'll tell
• 1:36:37
  Speaker 5: you that.
• 1:36:38
  Speaker 13: Well, I hope everybody looks forward to reading my book.
• 1:36:40
  Speaker 13: I hope people buy it, and I hope people vote accordingly.
• 1:36:43
  Speaker 13: We purposely put the book out in the months before
• 1:36:47
  Speaker 13: the midterm elections in an effort to try to get
• 1:36:50
  Speaker 13: people to understand that if you're a real supporter of America,
• 1:36:53
  Speaker 13: you cannot support El-Sayed, you cannot support Elizabeth Warren, you
• 1:36:58
  Speaker 13: cannot support the people, the squad. Remember, too, if the
• 1:37:03
  Speaker 13: Democrats get control of the House, if they get control
• 1:37:05
  Speaker 13: of the Senate... Who are going to be the chairman
• 1:37:08
  Speaker 13: of the committees? Elizabeth Warren will be the chairman of
• 1:37:10
  Speaker 13: the banking committee. El-Sayed will probably be chairman of a
• 1:37:14
  Speaker 13: subcommittee on the Middle East. AOC will be a chairman
• 1:37:18
  Speaker 13: of a committee. We do not want our legislature to
• 1:37:23
  Speaker 13: be dominated by American-hating, anti-Israel, and other non-common-sense people. That's
• 1:37:30
  Speaker 13: why I didn't take my wife's position. I disagree with
• 1:37:34
  Speaker 13: some Republican positions. That's why my book is called Confessions of.
• 1:37:38
  Speaker 5: A Reluctant Republican.
• 1:37:39
  Speaker 13: But as between who should control the legislative branch, it's
• 1:37:44
  Speaker 13: not a close question.
• 1:37:45
  Speaker 7: No question.
• 1:37:46
  Speaker 13: We want people like Ted Cruz to be chairman of committees.
• 1:37:50
  Speaker 13: We want some very good Republicans to be chairman of committees.
• 1:37:55
  Speaker 13: I'm terrified about the idea of Democrats having control of
• 1:37:58
  Speaker 13: the legislative process. First, they will spend all of their
• 1:38:01
  Speaker 13: time trying to go after Trump. You know, I wrote
• 1:38:04
  Speaker 13: another book called Get Trump based on Letitia James's campaign
• 1:38:08
  Speaker 13: promise and that's what the democrats would do if they
• 1:38:10
  Speaker 13: took over the house they would spend all of their
• 1:38:12
  Speaker 13: time subpoenaing everybody in the trump administration and uh you
• 1:38:18
  Speaker 13: know we see what happens when that.
• 1:38:19
  Speaker 8: Didn't al green just file yet again articles of impeachment
• 1:38:24
  Speaker 8: isn't that a foreshadow of what they intend to do
• 1:38:27
  Speaker 8: i may.
• 1:38:28
  Speaker 13: Have another job coming up because, you know, as you know,
• 1:38:31
  Speaker 13: I defended President Trump in his first impeachment successfully. And
• 1:38:35
  Speaker 13: if he were to be impeached again, believe me, I
• 1:38:38
  Speaker 13: would be a strong opponent. And my former student, Jamie Raskin,
• 1:38:42
  Speaker 13: you know, was one of the heads of the impeachment
• 1:38:44
  Speaker 13: campaign back in the day. And probably he's chairman, you know,
• 1:38:48
  Speaker 13: he'd become chairman of the Judiciary Committee, which would be terrible.
• 1:38:52
  Speaker 5: Or the House Oversight Committee.
• 1:38:53
  Speaker 7: Yeah yeah professor dershowitz i have to earlier in this
• 1:38:56
  Speaker 7: program we played the audio of brad lander being accosted
• 1:39:01
  Speaker 7: verbally at uh outside madison square garden on saturday this
• 1:39:06
  Speaker 7: is a guy who has sold out his people at
• 1:39:08
  Speaker 7: every opportunity accuses israel falsely of genocide shows up at
• 1:39:13
  Speaker 7: rat you know not every mosque is a radical islamist
• 1:39:15
  Speaker 7: mosque in new york city but he shows up there
• 1:39:18
  Speaker 7: endorses all these terrible candidates. I mean, you must have
• 1:39:22
  Speaker 7: been satisfied by that, seeing that.
• 1:39:25
  Speaker 13: He beat a terrific, terrific congressman. Look, he's not the
• 1:39:29
  Speaker 13: only one who's been harassed. I went to the farmer's
• 1:39:31
  Speaker 13: market this weekend on Martha's Vineyard, and I was harassed.
• 1:39:36
  Speaker 3: I was attacked.
• 1:39:38
  Speaker 13: I fell over. I injured my hip. I injured my
• 1:39:41
  Speaker 13: knee by people who harassed me. And, you know, they
• 1:39:45
  Speaker 13: harassed me for three reasons. One, my support for Trump.
• 1:39:48
  Speaker 13: Number two, my support for Israel. And number three, because
• 1:39:51
  Speaker 13: I was a lawyer for people he don't agree with.
• 1:39:55
  Speaker 13: My God, what a sin that was. John Adams was
• 1:39:58
  Speaker 13: the lawyer for the people who were accused of.
• 1:40:00
  Speaker 7: Committing the Boston Massacre.
• 1:40:01
  Speaker 20: And I get.
• 1:40:02
  Speaker 13: Attacked because they don't like the clients. that I have represented. Um,
• 1:40:07
  Speaker 13: by the way, for those of you who followed my
• 1:40:09
  Speaker 13: previous pierogi thing, when the guy on Martha's vineyard wouldn't
• 1:40:12
  Speaker 13: sell me pierogi, we won that fight. The farmer's market
• 1:40:16
  Speaker 13: banned him and won't allow him to sell. So the
• 1:40:19
  Speaker 13: word on Martha's vineyard is if Dershowitz doesn't.
• 1:40:21
  Speaker 8: Get pierogies, no one gets, you know, professor, I want
• 1:40:24
  Speaker 8: to say one of the things that John was talking
• 1:40:27
  Speaker 8: about not too long ago, we actually played a small clip.
• 1:40:30
  Speaker 8: He had, um, former vice president Mike Pence on the show.
• 1:40:34
  Speaker 8: In fact, Everything that John was saying and that Mike
• 1:40:38
  Speaker 8: Pence said, which is where Democrats have now lost their mind,
• 1:40:42
  Speaker 8: that's almost like the sum and substance of your new
• 1:40:44
  Speaker 8: upcoming book.
• 1:40:45
  Speaker 11: It is.
• 1:40:46
  Speaker 13: Yeah, there's no doubt about it. Look, I was a Democrat.
• 1:40:49
  Speaker 5: John, you should have trademarked that, too.
• 1:40:51
  Speaker 13: Yeah, when I was 14 years old, I was on
• 1:40:54
  Speaker 13: the streets of Borough Park in Brooklyn campaigning for Philip Schupler.
• 1:40:58
  Speaker 13: And I have voted for every Democrat. I campaigned. I
• 1:41:01
  Speaker 13: went to Democratic National Conventions. I have been a fervent Democrat.
• 1:41:06
  Speaker 13: And a few years ago, I just said, I couldn't
• 1:41:09
  Speaker 13: do it. I couldn't do it. You know, there are
• 1:41:11
  Speaker 13: a lot of Jews who are what they call nostalgia Democrats. Oh,
• 1:41:15
  Speaker 13: my grandfather voted for Democrats.
• 1:41:16
  Speaker 20: My grandmother.
• 1:41:17
  Speaker 13: You have to stop looking to the past and you
• 1:41:19
  Speaker 13: have to look to the present and the future. The
• 1:41:21
  Speaker 13: Jewish community in the United States is under siege. And,
• 1:41:25
  Speaker 13: you know, being a Democrat today, if you're Jewish, would
• 1:41:29
  Speaker 13: be like being an environmentalist in Nazi Germany in 1932
• 1:41:33
  Speaker 13: and not caring about what was happening on the streets
• 1:41:35
  Speaker 13: and saying, well, we're worried about, you know, a thousand
• 1:41:38
  Speaker 13: years from now, the environment may be affected. You have
• 1:41:41
  Speaker 13: to put your priorities straight.
• 1:41:43
  Speaker 5: Even an environmentalist. environmentalists in China right now. I mean,
• 1:41:50
  Speaker 5: your life will last about two minutes.
• 1:41:55
  Speaker 2: Or be a.
• 1:41:56
  Speaker 13: Gay rights activist in Gaza or in any part of
• 1:42:00
  Speaker 13: the Middle East. You know, that's chickens for KFC. And
• 1:42:07
  Speaker 13: it's exactly.
• 1:42:08
  Speaker 22: what.
• 1:42:09
  Speaker 13: Some idiot Jews are doing. They're supporting, they have a
• 1:42:13
  Speaker 13: self-hate wish, and they're supporting candidates who are strongly opposed
• 1:42:18
  Speaker 13: to their safety and strongly opposed to Israel. We're seeing
• 1:42:22
  Speaker 13: that in Michigan when El-Sayed is pushing for the Jewish vote.
• 1:42:26
  Speaker 13: I hope no self-respecting Jew will vote for him, but
• 1:42:31
  Speaker 13: they will, just like they voted for Mamdani.
• 1:42:33
  Speaker 7: Professor Dershowitz, I have to ask you, I mean, let's
• 1:42:35
  Speaker 7: give it I want to give you some bright side statistics. Listen,
• 1:42:40
  Speaker 7: everything that I have, I've done a lot of research
• 1:42:42
  Speaker 7: on the 2024 election. I agree with you. Obviously, the
• 1:42:45
  Speaker 7: Jewish vote is one of the best things to say
• 1:42:47
  Speaker 7: is almost like Fight Club. There really is no such
• 1:42:49
  Speaker 7: thing as a Jewish vote. But in Pennsylvania, in the
• 1:42:52
  Speaker 7: districts that happen to be swing districts in Pennsylvania, there
• 1:42:54
  Speaker 7: is a significant Jewish vote. And every bit of honest
• 1:42:58
  Speaker 7: data that I've seen from the 2024 election showed that
• 1:43:01
  Speaker 7: there was a significant vote for President Trump among Jewish
• 1:43:05
  Speaker 7: voters in those suburbs of both Pittsburgh and Philadelphia. Did
• 1:43:09
  Speaker 7: you see the same thing? And do you mention that
• 1:43:11
  Speaker 7: in your book at all?
• 1:43:12
  Speaker 2: Yes, yes.
• 1:43:13
  Speaker 13: And in fact, if Rubio were to get the Republican nomination,
• 1:43:18
  Speaker 13: I don't care who the Democrats put up. I would
• 1:43:21
  Speaker 13: say 80% of Jews would vote for Republicans if Rubio
• 1:43:24
  Speaker 13: got the nomination, particularly if he got it against some
• 1:43:28
  Speaker 13: hard lefty. If he got it against Shapiro, okay, we
• 1:43:32
  Speaker 13: don't know what the vote would be, but that's not
• 1:43:34
  Speaker 13: going to happen. I don't think the Democrats are capable
• 1:43:37
  Speaker 13: of nominating a Jew, no matter how qualified. One of
• 1:43:40
  Speaker 13: the reasons they lost the last election is because they
• 1:43:44
  Speaker 13: didn't nominate for vice president the most obvious candidate, the Democrats.
• 1:43:49
  Speaker 13: a popular governor of the swing state that could determine
• 1:43:53
  Speaker 13: the outcome of the election. But because Kamala Harris said, oh, well,
• 1:43:56
  Speaker 13: she's Jewish, and who knows what that will happen. No,
• 1:44:00
  Speaker 13: we're not ready for a Jew. We're ready for a
• 1:44:02
  Speaker 13: black woman, but we're not ready for a Jew. No,
• 1:44:05
  Speaker 13: the Jewish community can't accept that.
• 1:44:08
  Speaker 5: Or a black woman married to a Jew.
• 1:44:10
  Speaker 7: Yeah. Well, that was something we talked about earlier on
• 1:44:14
  Speaker 7: the program. It seems like there's going to be three
• 1:44:17
  Speaker 7: contenders for the Democrat nomination who are Jewish. Josh Shapiro, J.B. Pritzker,
• 1:44:22
  Speaker 7: and who was the other one?
• 1:44:23
  Speaker 5: Michael Cohen. Rahm Emanuel.
• 1:44:25
  Speaker 7: Rahm Emanuel, that's right. And I think that this is
• 1:44:27
  Speaker 7: actually something the DNC wants. They'd like to be able
• 1:44:30
  Speaker 7: to see these three guys run so they can say, well,
• 1:44:33
  Speaker 7: that support was all split by these guys and it
• 1:44:35
  Speaker 7: wasn't that we excluded. I think that there's something going
• 1:44:38
  Speaker 7: on there. I think there's an encouragement to get all
• 1:44:39
  Speaker 7: three of those guys to run.
• 1:44:40
  Speaker 5: Oh, I agree with you.
• 1:44:41
  Speaker 13: I think the best thing that the radical Democrats could
• 1:44:44
  Speaker 13: do is to say, look, we considered three Jews. By
• 1:44:47
  Speaker 13: the way, none of them are today. Can you qualify
• 1:44:52
  Speaker 13: them as strongly pro-Israel? Certainly none of them are as
• 1:44:56
  Speaker 13: strongly pro-Israel as Rubio. They've all backed away somewhat from
• 1:45:01
  Speaker 13: support for Israel in an effort to get The nomination,
• 1:45:04
  Speaker 13: they saw the Badlander result and how he beat a centrist,
• 1:45:10
  Speaker 13: generally pro-Israel Democrat. And so they're moving away from it.
• 1:45:14
  Speaker 13: But I think the goal is to get the three
• 1:45:16
  Speaker 13: of them up there, make them have speeches at the
• 1:45:19
  Speaker 13: Democratic Convention, and then nominate somebody who is, quote, safe.
• 1:45:24
  Speaker 13: safe from Zionist control, safe from AIPAC, safe from Jewish control.
• 1:45:30
  Speaker 13: I think that's what their goal is. And it might work.
• 1:45:37
  Speaker 13: People say Jews are smart. Some Jews are very smart.
• 1:45:40
  Speaker 13: Some of the dumbest people I know, some of the
• 1:45:43
  Speaker 13: dumbest people I know are the kind of Jews who
• 1:45:45
  Speaker 13: vote for Mamdani and who vote for their enemies.
• 1:45:48
  Speaker 7: It's collective Stockholm syndrome, and we can do a whole
• 1:45:50
  Speaker 7: program about that another time. But Professor Alan Dershowitz.
• 1:45:54
  Speaker 13: Uh.
• 1:45:54

• 1:46:28
  Speaker 13: farmer's market the other day.
• 1:46:29
  Speaker 22: I don't know.
• 1:46:29
  Speaker 13: I'm in pain. I'm in pretty good shape. So I'm
• 1:46:32

• 1:46:44
  Speaker 7: so much.
• 1:46:45
  Speaker 13: I'll settle for 100.

• 1:46:56
  Speaker 5: Pataki's coming up, and then we'll see what else we're
• 1:46:58
  Speaker 5: going to do coming up.
• 1:46:59

  Speaker 23: All across America, this is the Red Apple Audio Network's
• 1:47:42
  Speaker 23: Market Report.
• 1:47:43
  Speaker 14: Good morning, I'm John Terrett. Well, Friday was a down
• 1:47:46
  Speaker 14: day for the street, but it was a winning week
• 1:47:48
  Speaker 14: all round. This after Fed Chair Kevin Walsh admitted the
• 1:47:50
  Speaker 14: need for rate hikes if inflation doesn't cool soon. Speaking
• 1:47:53
  Speaker 14: at the Jackson Hole Symposium in Wyoming last Friday, once again,
• 1:47:57
  Speaker 14: he set the Fed's firm and fixed target for inflation
• 1:48:00
  Speaker 14: at 2%.
• 1:48:01
  Speaker 9: We're staying keenly focused on market internals, watching performance across sectors.
• 1:48:07
  Speaker 14: Walsh said there have been improvements in inflation lately, but
• 1:48:10
  Speaker 14: just not enough.
• 1:48:11
  Speaker 9: And while this summer's PC and CPI readings were better
• 1:48:14
  Speaker 9: than expected, they do not tell me that underlying trends
• 1:48:18
  Speaker 9: have meaningfully improved.
• 1:48:19
  Speaker 14: As a result, Wall Street is now pricing in a
• 1:48:21
  Speaker 14: 50% chance of a rate hike when the Fed next
• 1:48:24
  Speaker 14: meets in September on the 15th and 16th in the
• 1:48:27
  Speaker 14: Treasury market, there was also a flattening of the yield
• 1:48:29
  Speaker 14: curve because the feeling there is that the next move
• 1:48:32
  Speaker 14: by the Fed will be a hike. Company news, stock
• 1:48:34
  Speaker 14: in PayPal fell sharply Friday as Stripe and Advent walked
• 1:48:37
  Speaker 14: away from a $ 50 billion buyout deal. Chipmaker Marvell Technology
• 1:48:41
  Speaker 14: was down as its results underwhelmed the street, even though
• 1:48:44
  Speaker 14: they had a 37% increase in revenue. Gap shares jumped
• 1:48:48
  Speaker 14: with a new veteran CEO appointed to run the Old
• 1:48:50
  Speaker 14: Navy division. And later this week, earnings from Broadcom, Dell, Lululemon,
• 1:48:55

  Speaker 2: 77 WABC.
• 1:49:52
  Speaker 19: Back through the years, I go wandering once again. Back
• 1:49:59
  Speaker 19: to the seasons of my youth.
• 1:50:03
  Speaker 7: Code of Many Colors by Dolly Parton. I was listening
• 1:50:06
  Speaker 7: to that song on the radio yesterday and I kind
• 1:50:09
  Speaker 7: of burst into tears a little bit because not just
• 1:50:11
  Speaker 7: that Dolly Parton passed away, but that story of that
• 1:50:14
  Speaker 7: song is just sweet.
• 1:50:16
  Speaker 8: You know, when I walk to work, I usually would
• 1:50:18
  Speaker 8: listen to like 80s rock or I'd listen to Frank Sinatra.
• 1:50:22
  Speaker 8: I now have my Amazon music literally set to Dolly Parton.
• 1:50:26
  Speaker 8: I just want to keep enjoying her sound and her
• 1:50:30
  Speaker 8: voice and the songs.
• 1:50:32
  Speaker 11: Yeah.
• 1:50:32
  Speaker 7: Her, her, her, all of her downloads are top of
• 1:50:35
  Speaker 7: the download.
• 1:50:35
  Speaker 5: By the way, before we go to governor Pataki, uh,
• 1:50:38
  Speaker 5: I was just going to say, I'm not going to
• 1:50:39
  Speaker 5: be on the five o'clock show today because, uh, I'm
• 1:50:42
  Speaker 5: going to be United Metro energy, one of our companies
• 1:50:45
  Speaker 5: that advertises WABC. Uh, I'm going to be on a
• 1:50:49
  Speaker 5: golf outing, uh, by exit 40. I forget the name
• 1:50:52
  Speaker 5: of the, uh, uh, and, um, uh, we're going to do,
• 1:50:56
  Speaker 5: I'm going to do the live broadcast from there or,
• 1:50:58
  Speaker 5: A little by little. But Rita's going to be in
• 1:51:01
  Speaker 5: the studio being the quarterback for our show, and we're
• 1:51:04
  Speaker 5: going to have our normal 5 o'clock show, and we're
• 1:51:06
  Speaker 5: just going to have a few people call in.
• 1:51:08
  Speaker 7: He's still an active businessman, folks, and sometimes you have
• 1:51:10
  Speaker 7: to do business.
• 1:51:11
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I do. And now the best governor, one of
• 1:51:14
  Speaker 5: the best governors that New York State has ever, ever,
• 1:51:18
  Speaker 5: ever had. And we're celebrating, we're bringing together New York City,
• 1:51:23
  Speaker 5: New York State during 9-11 and 25-year anniversary of 9-11.
• 1:51:30
  Speaker 5: We have Governor George Pataki. Governor, welcome to WABC.
• 1:51:35
  Speaker 9: Well, thank you, John.
• 1:51:36
  Speaker 13: And thank you, Jake.
• 1:51:38
  Speaker 9: And boy, I was listening to Dolly singing Code of
• 1:51:41
  Speaker 9: Many Colors and I just get tears in my eyes.
• 1:51:44
  Speaker 9: If there was ever one person beloved by virtually everyone
• 1:51:48
  Speaker 9: in America, it was Dolly Parton. And I'm certainly one
• 1:51:52
  Speaker 9: of them. So forgive me for digressing, but I couldn't
• 1:51:54
  Speaker 9: help but say that.
• 1:51:55
  Speaker 8: Well, Governor, you are pretty much loved as well. It's
• 1:51:58
  Speaker 8: Mike Cohen. How are you doing, my friend?
• 1:52:00
  Speaker 2: Hey, Michael.
• 1:52:02
  Speaker 9: Not as much as Dolly, but thank you very much.
• 1:52:05
  Speaker 9: People were good to me, and I'm very grateful for
• 1:52:09
  Speaker 9: the opportunity to have led New York for 12 years.
• 1:52:12
  Speaker 7: Well, you knew how to play the angles. I once
• 1:52:13
  Speaker 7: went to a Columbia-Yale football game. It was 1997, and
• 1:52:17
  Speaker 7: you very diplomatically sat on the Columbia side for one
• 1:52:19
  Speaker 7: half and the Yale side on the other to recognize
• 1:52:22
  Speaker 7: your two alma maters. And I said to myself, that's
• 1:52:24
  Speaker 7: a good politician.
• 1:52:25
  Speaker 20: I mean, that's just Jake.
• 1:52:27
  Speaker 9: You know, I hear I hear about your Columbia football
• 1:52:30
  Speaker 9: blog all the time and I wanted.
• 1:52:31
  Speaker 22: To talk to you about that.
• 1:52:33
  Speaker 13: Well, you know, listen, I'm really serious.
• 1:52:35
  Speaker 7: It almost got me killed. But hey, you know what?
• 1:52:38
  Speaker 7: They are every once in a while. Someone says, hey,
• 1:52:40
  Speaker 7: you help turn around that program. I don't think it
• 1:52:42
  Speaker 7: was me. I think it was more. the coaches, but, uh,
• 1:52:44
  Speaker 7: but maybe, maybe I played a small role. Um, let's
• 1:52:46
  Speaker 7: get serious here for a second.
• 1:52:48
  Speaker 9: Jake, Jake, Jake, before we get serious, you got the,
• 1:52:50
  Speaker 9: you got the horrible coach fired single-handedly and that was
• 1:52:54
  Speaker 9: a critical step.
• 1:52:55
  Speaker 7: But anyway, now I'm, now don't call me Jets fans
• 1:52:58
  Speaker 7: if you don't like the coaches. I can only, this
• 1:52:59
  Speaker 7: only works for me once in life. Um, but, uh,
• 1:53:02
  Speaker 7: first of all, you know, we've been talking about how, uh,
• 1:53:04
  Speaker 7: we're getting all ready for the September 11th gala here
• 1:53:07
  Speaker 7: at WABC and you are the main honoree and obviously
• 1:53:12
  Speaker 7: you were the governor, uh, on that fateful day. And
• 1:53:14
  Speaker 7: it wasn't only what happened on that day. It was
• 1:53:16
  Speaker 7: how the city responded afterwards. I have to ask you,
• 1:53:20
  Speaker 7: and it's an ugly thing, but maybe it's something that
• 1:53:23
  Speaker 7: it's worth discussing. You know, you've got the Port Authority
• 1:53:26
  Speaker 7: Police retired organization not wanting one of your successors, Kathy Hochul,
• 1:53:30
  Speaker 7: to show up at this event, the 25th anniversary of
• 1:53:35
  Speaker 7: 9-11 and the solemn ceremonies. You don't have to comment
• 1:53:39
  Speaker 7: one way or the other about whether you support that
• 1:53:41
  Speaker 7: or not. But what I'd like to say is, It's
• 1:53:42
  Speaker 7: just such a far cry from the unity that you
• 1:53:45
  Speaker 7: oversaw in the days after 9-11 here.
• 1:53:47
  Speaker 9: Well, you know, that's the one positive thing that came
• 1:53:51
  Speaker 9: out of that horrible day was the sense of unity
• 1:53:53
  Speaker 9: that we had as Americans. And I'll never forget just
• 1:53:59
  Speaker 9: the differences that seemed to divide us disappeared. You weren't black, white, young, old, southern, northern, rich, poor, Republican, Democrat.
• 1:54:08
  Speaker 9: You were Americans. And And I was just so moved
• 1:54:11
  Speaker 9: by that sense of unity. And we have to try
• 1:54:14
  Speaker 9: to reclaim that. And, you know, I have always been
• 1:54:17
  Speaker 9: somebody who believes that we got to look forward and
• 1:54:21
  Speaker 9: try to work together. And I would hope that we
• 1:54:26
  Speaker 9: would do our best to keep politics out of this
• 1:54:29
  Speaker 9: 25th day memorial commemoration of that horrible day and just
• 1:54:34
  Speaker 9: try to reclaim some of that unity because we showed
• 1:54:39
  Speaker 9: in that sense, when we were unified, what Americans can
• 1:54:42
  Speaker 9: do when we stand together. And when we stand together,
• 1:54:46
  Speaker 9: no one can prevent us from achieving our dreams. It's
• 1:54:50
  Speaker 9: that simple in my view.
• 1:54:51
  Speaker 8: You know, Governor, what's interesting is where my office is
• 1:54:54
  Speaker 8: located here at WABC. They're doing a lot of the
• 1:54:57
  Speaker 8: work for the 9-11 event, the Governor Pataki alongside of
• 1:55:03
  Speaker 8: WABC for the event in honor, again, of the 25th
• 1:55:09
  Speaker 8: anniversary and for all of the first responders, it is beyond,
• 1:55:16
  Speaker 8: it is beyond the amount of work that is going
• 1:55:20
  Speaker 8: in to make this night what is going to be spectacular.
• 1:55:26
  Speaker 8: And it's going to be such a heartfelt event. I
• 1:55:30
  Speaker 8: was hoping that you can just Give us a little
• 1:55:33
  Speaker 8: of your insight into how you see the evening going
• 1:55:38
  Speaker 8: and so on.
• 1:55:40
  Speaker 9: Well, you know, yes, there's a tremendous amount of work
• 1:55:44
  Speaker 9: going into it, and I have to thank John Katsimatidis and.
• 1:55:47
  Speaker 3: The whole WABC team.
• 1:55:50
  Speaker 9: And Margo, because they have done a phenomenal job of
• 1:55:54
  Speaker 9: pulling this all together. And every year on September 11th
• 1:55:58
  Speaker 9: for the past 24 years, my little group, the Pataki Center,
• 1:56:02
  Speaker 9: would come together and we'd recognize some of those who
• 1:56:06
  Speaker 9: did so much to help us. New York and America
• 1:56:08
  Speaker 9: get through those days. But this is different because it
• 1:56:11
  Speaker 9: is the 250th. And instead of having one of these
• 1:56:14
  Speaker 9: smaller commemorations, we're going to have a massive gala. And
• 1:56:20
  Speaker 9: it's appropriate to do so. And people will be honored
• 1:56:22
  Speaker 9: and recognized. Marco and John have arranged for some great entertainment.
• 1:56:27
  Speaker 9: And it just should be a very spectacular night. And
• 1:56:31
  Speaker 9: one of the things we shouldn't forget is, yes, it's
• 1:56:33
  Speaker 9: the 25th. anniversary of that horrible day, but it's also
• 1:56:38
  Speaker 9: the 250th year of our country.
• 1:56:41
  Speaker 5: And if ever there.
• 1:56:42
  Speaker 9: Was something to celebrate, it's the fact that this great
• 1:56:45
  Speaker 9: country has shown what free people can do for 250 years.
• 1:56:50
  Speaker 9: And I'm sure the night of September 11th, there will
• 1:56:53
  Speaker 9: be a lot of reference to that as well.
• 1:56:56
  Speaker 7: Governor, you know, it's interesting. September 11th, you know, you
• 1:57:00
  Speaker 7: talked about how it's also the 250th anniversary. September 11th,
• 1:57:02
  Speaker 7: 1776 was also a day of a big tragedy here
• 1:57:08
  Speaker 7: in New York City. I think it was a large
• 1:57:09
  Speaker 7: fire that day. It's just amazing how these stars kind
• 1:57:13
  Speaker 7: of align as far as history is concerned. But look,
• 1:57:16
  Speaker 7: we're dealing with the New York City today that I
• 1:57:18
  Speaker 7: think it's something like only 30% or something smaller than
• 1:57:22
  Speaker 7: that of the population of New York City today are
• 1:57:24
  Speaker 7: people who were here on 9-11. It's a very low number.
• 1:57:27
  Speaker 7: So We talked about the unity already, and we certainly
• 1:57:31
  Speaker 7: want that to come back. But what what do you
• 1:57:34
  Speaker 7: say to people who are literally new to New York
• 1:57:37
  Speaker 7: post 9-11 New York residents? What should they know about
• 1:57:41
  Speaker 7: this city for those of us who were here on
• 1:57:43
  Speaker 7: that day?
• 1:57:44
  Speaker 9: You know, I think, first of all, they have to
• 1:57:48
  Speaker 9: understand the magnitude of the loss. You know, almost 3,000
• 1:57:52
  Speaker 9: innocent people died that day, but 3,000.
• 1:57:55
  Speaker 3: Is a number.
• 1:57:56
  Speaker 9: And each one of those was an important individual with
• 1:58:00
  Speaker 9: loved ones, family, friends who really gave their lives simply
• 1:58:06
  Speaker 9: because they were Americans. So we cannot understand. the magnitude
• 1:58:12
  Speaker 9: of that loss. The second thing I think is that
• 1:58:15
  Speaker 9: why we were attacked, and I think this is not
• 1:58:17
  Speaker 9: just forgotten, but deliberately distorted by some people.
• 1:58:21
  Speaker 3: We were attacked.
• 1:58:23
  Speaker 9: For one reason, and that is because we lived in freedom.
• 1:58:26
  Speaker 9: freedom of speech, freedom of assembly, freedom to choose our
• 1:58:29
  Speaker 9: own leaders, and freedom of religion.
• 1:58:32
  Speaker 5: And we didn't.
• 1:58:32
  Speaker 9: Realize that there are those in the world who not
• 1:58:35
  Speaker 9: only don't appreciate those freedoms and don't have them for
• 1:58:39
  Speaker 9: themselves or want them, but resent the fact that we do.
• 1:58:42
  Speaker 9: And we were attacked because of that belief in freedom.
• 1:58:45
  Speaker 9: And now there are too many who not only have
• 1:58:48
  Speaker 9: forgotten that, but also who distorted. I'll tell you, I'm
• 1:58:51
  Speaker 9: still upset the Canadian Broadcast Corporation put out a directive
• 1:58:55
  Speaker 9: to their news people saying you cannot use the word
• 1:58:59
  Speaker 9: terrorist or terrorism in relation to September 11th. I and
• 1:59:04
  Speaker 9: a lot of other people just went really crazy about
• 1:59:09
  Speaker 9: this because it was a deliberate attempt to distort the
• 1:59:13
  Speaker 9: facts of September 11th. The planes didn't bump into.
• 1:59:17
  Speaker 5: Of the towers.
• 1:59:17
  Speaker 9: It was a terrorist attack carried out by Muslim extremists.
• 1:59:22
  Speaker 9: And that is something that people in New York today,
• 1:59:25
  Speaker 9: people who weren't born on September 11th, should understand that
• 1:59:29
  Speaker 9: this didn't happen out.
• 1:59:30
  Speaker 2: Of the blue.
• 1:59:31
  Speaker 9: This happened out of a cause that poses a threat
• 1:59:35
  Speaker 9: to us and our freedom today.
• 1:59:37
  Speaker 7: Well, you don't have to go to Canada to find
• 1:59:38
  Speaker 7: the atrocious wording. The Democrats, many of them in prominent
• 1:59:43
  Speaker 7: midterm election races, are openly campaigning and recruiting. This isn't
• 1:59:48
  Speaker 7: just a coincidence. Asking this guy, Hassan Piker, a social
• 1:59:51
  Speaker 7: media podcaster, to join them as a major campaign partner.
• 1:59:57
  Speaker 7: And this is a guy who repeatedly says that the
• 1:59:59
  Speaker 7: United States deserved 9-11. And here we are in a
• 2:00:03
  Speaker 7: major midterm election that's going to be taking place just
• 2:00:05
  Speaker 7: a few weeks after the 9-11 anniversary. And only a
• 2:00:09
  Speaker 7: few of them, and I should note, really only the
• 2:00:11
  Speaker 7: Jewish Democrats, not all of them, but a few of them,
• 2:00:13
  Speaker 7: have denounced Hassan Piker. And they're bringing this guy in.
• 2:00:17
  Speaker 7: I mean, could you have imagined that this would have
• 2:00:19
  Speaker 7: been the case 25 years ago?
• 2:00:21
  Speaker 9: It's an absolute disgrace. Here's a guy who, as you
• 2:00:24
  Speaker 9: pointed out, said America deserved the attacks of September 11th.
• 2:00:28
  Speaker 9: Anybody who felt that, you know, and he has since
• 2:00:31
  Speaker 9: tried to back off, but he's only tried to back
• 2:00:33
  Speaker 9: off because people have responded with such anger at the
• 2:00:39
  Speaker 9: distortion and deliberate danger of a statement like that. So
• 2:00:43
  Speaker 9: my personal view is anyone who doesn't and openly disassociate
• 2:00:48
  Speaker 9: themselves from having anything to do with Hassan Piker should
• 2:00:53
  Speaker 9: not be included in anything that commemorates America and certainly
• 2:00:58
  Speaker 9: shouldn't be elected to public office.
• 2:01:00
  Speaker 8: You know, Governor, I want to ask you, because of
• 2:01:03
  Speaker 8: your past as governor of New York, how would you
• 2:01:08
  Speaker 8: evaluate Kathy Hochul's handling of of all of these various
• 2:01:15
  Speaker 8: different issues that are right now confronting a new New
• 2:01:19
  Speaker 8: York versus, say, what someone like a Bruce Blakeman would
• 2:01:24
  Speaker 8: be doing.
• 2:01:26
  Speaker 9: You know, I have to tell you, I'm very concerned
• 2:01:28
  Speaker 9: about the future of New York. I mean, I don't
• 2:01:30
  Speaker 9: have to recite to the ABC listeners the hundreds of millions,
• 2:01:35
  Speaker 9: if not billions of dollars in income that have left
• 2:01:38
  Speaker 9: New York because the taxes are simply too high. I
• 2:01:41
  Speaker 9: don't think there's a person I know who hasn't considered
• 2:01:46
  Speaker 9: moving to Florida or has already moved to Florida. I
• 2:01:49
  Speaker 9: have so many friends down there and friends in Texas.
• 2:01:52
  Speaker 9: And it's not because of the climate. It's because of
• 2:01:54
  Speaker 9: the taxes, the regulatory burden, the oppressive nature of the
• 2:02:00
  Speaker 9: big government that is in New York, not just New
• 2:02:03
  Speaker 9: York City, but New York State. And we're headed in
• 2:02:06
  Speaker 9: the wrong direction. You know, we are still a great
• 2:02:10
  Speaker 9: state with the greatest city.
• 2:02:11
  Speaker 13: In the world.
• 2:02:12
  Speaker 9: But you can't take that for granted.
• 2:02:13
  Speaker 20: And we need a leadership.
• 2:02:15
  Speaker 9: That's going to understand you have to control and reduce
• 2:02:18
  Speaker 9: government spending. You have to lower the tax burden. You
• 2:02:21
  Speaker 9: have to put violent criminals behind bars. I mean, and
• 2:02:25
  Speaker 9: how many times are we going to see incidences of
• 2:02:28
  Speaker 9: the mentally ill who are walking the streets threatening or
• 2:02:33
  Speaker 9: actually assaulting New Yorkers? And it's just so sad to
• 2:02:37
  Speaker 9: see because it's simply a failure of government at the
• 2:02:40
  Speaker 9: city level and at the state level. And that has
• 2:02:43
  Speaker 9: got to change. And I think Bruce Blakeman understands that
• 2:02:48
  Speaker 9: and would do everything in his power to make that change.
• 2:02:51
  Speaker 5: You know, we started off the show at 6 a.m.
• 2:02:54
  Speaker 5: and we started talking about Star Trek and the teleporters.
• 2:02:58
  Speaker 5: We teleport you right now back 25 years with a
• 2:03:03
  Speaker 5: mayor like Mayor Moran Mamdani who's sitting in there. With
• 2:03:08
  Speaker 5: this new Pierre Duterte tax, with all of his behavior
• 2:03:13
  Speaker 5: and his new progressive sort of socialist ideology for rent-stabilized buildings,
• 2:03:23
  Speaker 5: when you start to see sell-offs, by people like a
• 2:03:26
  Speaker 5: Sergey Brin or generational wealth in real estate like the
• 2:03:31
  Speaker 5: LaFrac family walking away from New York. What would you
• 2:03:35
  Speaker 5: do if you were governor right now?
• 2:03:39
  Speaker 9: Well, you have to do two things. First of all,
• 2:03:41
  Speaker 9: you have to tell them immediately that change is coming,
• 2:03:46
  Speaker 9: and change is coming quickly and dramatically, and we're not
• 2:03:48
  Speaker 9: going to continue the policies that are driving people like
• 2:03:51
  Speaker 9: that out of New York. And then you have to
• 2:03:53
  Speaker 9: actually work and make those changes. I remember when I
• 2:03:56
  Speaker 9: got elected the first time, people don't realize this, but
• 2:03:59
  Speaker 9: New York was the most dangerous state in America. We
• 2:04:02
  Speaker 9: had the highest taxes in America. We were lowest in
• 2:04:05
  Speaker 9: job growth in America. And we had the lowest credit
• 2:04:08
  Speaker 9: rating in America. And before I took office, went all
• 2:04:12
  Speaker 9: around the state meeting with CEOs of major companies like
• 2:04:15
  Speaker 9: IBM and others and saying, look, we're going to change things.
• 2:04:19
  Speaker 20: Don't give up.
• 2:04:20
  Speaker 9: And I worked very hard with a tremendous team, and
• 2:04:25
  Speaker 9: we did start changing things that first year. And that's
• 2:04:28
  Speaker 9: what you have to do. You have to have a
• 2:04:29
  Speaker 9: clear agenda. Lower the taxes, lower the spending rate. I mean,
• 2:04:36
  Speaker 9: the Democrats, the left, always talked about affordability.
• 2:04:40
  Speaker 13: How much do you think it costs?
• 2:04:43
  Speaker 9: When you have to lock up toothpaste and lock up
• 2:04:46
  Speaker 9: everything else because you allow shoplifters to steal over and over,
• 2:04:51
  Speaker 9: literally over 100 times and spend no time in jail.
• 2:04:55
  Speaker 9: That drives up enormously the cost of living. So they
• 2:04:58
  Speaker 9: talk about affordability, but it's their left-wing policies that are
• 2:05:01
  Speaker 9: driving up costs. And I just want to add one thing.
• 2:05:05
  Speaker 9: you use the term progressive. There is nothing progressive about Mondami.
• 2:05:10
  Speaker 9: There is nothing progressive about these far left Democrats. And
• 2:05:15
  Speaker 9: they just are using that term to hide behind. And
• 2:05:18
  Speaker 9: we should never call them progressive. What they're doing is
• 2:05:21
  Speaker 9: not something new.
• 2:05:22
  Speaker 20: It's regressive.
• 2:05:23
  Speaker 9: It's going back to the soft on prime, high tax,
• 2:05:26
  Speaker 9: big spending policies that have failed. So I just call
• 2:05:29
  Speaker 9: them what they are.
• 2:05:30
  Speaker 11: Far-left radicals.
• 2:05:32
  Speaker 9: They're not progressive.
• 2:05:33
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I like the regressive thing. Let's talk a little
• 2:05:35
  Speaker 7: bit specifically about 9-11 again, because we just found out
• 2:05:38
  Speaker 7: last week that we finally have a trial date for
• 2:05:41
  Speaker 7: the man who absolutely planned it. This was really the
• 2:05:43
  Speaker 7: CEO of the 9-11 attacks, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, who has
• 2:05:47
  Speaker 7: been in U.S. custody since 2003. He's been at Gitmo
• 2:05:50
  Speaker 7: since 2006. He is finally going to go to trial,
• 2:05:54
  Speaker 7: at least now, at a military tribunal in June of 2028.
• 2:06:00
  Speaker 7: I'd love to get your take on the delayed justice
• 2:06:02
  Speaker 7: here and and how this I mean, at least it's
• 2:06:05
  Speaker 7: not going to be a trial in downtown Manhattan like
• 2:06:07
  Speaker 7: Barack Obama and Eric Holder wanted. At least it will
• 2:06:09
  Speaker 7: be in a military tribunal. But this seems to me
• 2:06:12
  Speaker 7: like an obscene amount of time to wait for this trial.
• 2:06:16
  Speaker 9: It's absolutely a travesty. I mean, here we are on
• 2:06:19
  Speaker 9: the 25th anniversary, and we still are two years away
• 2:06:23
  Speaker 9: from this murderer from being tried. And there's an old expression,
• 2:06:29
  Speaker 9: justice delayed is justice denied. And that couldn't be truer
• 2:06:34
  Speaker 9: as in the case of this case.
• 2:06:36
  Speaker 13: Terrorist murderer.
• 2:06:37
  Speaker 9: He should have been tried long ago and convicted long ago,
• 2:06:41
  Speaker 9: and it would have brought some sense of justice to
• 2:06:45
  Speaker 9: the families of those who died on September 11th. And
• 2:06:48
  Speaker 9: by the time he is tried, and I hope, I'm sure, convicted,
• 2:06:52
  Speaker 9: so many of those families will have passed on and
• 2:06:55
  Speaker 9: not be able to understand that the mastermind behind these
• 2:06:59
  Speaker 9: murderous attacks has been brought to justice.
• 2:07:03
  Speaker 7: Governor, you were already out of office when Barack Obama
• 2:07:05
  Speaker 7: was first elected, but from 2009 to 2011, he and
• 2:07:09
  Speaker 7: Eric Holder were really pushing for a civil trial in
• 2:07:12
  Speaker 7: lower Manhattan. I'm sure you played a role in helping
• 2:07:15
  Speaker 7: to prepare the pushback on that, which was successful, I'm
• 2:07:18
  Speaker 7: happy to say, but Can you explain to the listeners
• 2:07:21
  Speaker 7: why that would have been a terrible mistake to.
• 2:07:23
  Speaker 3: Do this as a civil trial?
• 2:07:26
  Speaker 9: It's just ridiculous to me that they, in fact, were
• 2:07:28
  Speaker 9: trying to do that. And I think all it would
• 2:07:31
  Speaker 9: have done is– you see the crazies out there now,
• 2:07:34
  Speaker 9: the anti-Semites, the far left. radicals, the pro-Islamist people. And
• 2:07:39
  Speaker 9: they would have had a heyday in lower Manhattan in
• 2:07:42
  Speaker 9: front of all the media saying how unfair everything was
• 2:07:46
  Speaker 9: and how racist or Islamophobic America was. And why Holder
• 2:07:53
  Speaker 9: and Obama wanted that is beyond me. But thank God
• 2:07:57
  Speaker 9: we've been spared that. And I did a out relatively
• 2:08:01
  Speaker 9: loudly when that was proposed. And thank God now there
• 2:08:06
  Speaker 9: will be a system that prevents that. We're not going
• 2:08:08
  Speaker 9: to have that street media circus where they could turn
• 2:08:13
  Speaker 9: what should be a clear-cut conviction of a terrorist murderer
• 2:08:17
  Speaker 9: into into an anti-American street celebration in front of all
• 2:08:22
  Speaker 9: the fawning media. So I just am pleased that that
• 2:08:27
  Speaker 9: was avoided.
• 2:08:28
  Speaker 5: Governor, I have to tell you, I wish me and
• 2:08:31
  Speaker 5: you were 10 years younger. We'd be running for something again.
• 2:08:35
  Speaker 5: And I tell you, you're one of the most common sense,
• 2:08:38
  Speaker 5: most articulate governors we ever had. And you were a
• 2:08:42
  Speaker 5: great governor. And now you're even better now.
• 2:08:47
  Speaker 9: John, I don't know about that, but you don't have
• 2:08:50
  Speaker 9: to be 10 years better. I don't know anybody who
• 2:08:52
  Speaker 9: works harder. And as a friend of ours just said
• 2:08:54
  Speaker 9: this morning, when she heard you were going to be
• 2:08:57
  Speaker 9: hosting the early show, when do you ever sleep? And
• 2:09:01
  Speaker 9: I think that's a very valid question. So you don't
• 2:09:04
  Speaker 9: need to be 10 years younger. You got all the
• 2:09:06
  Speaker 9: energy you need still, John. And I just wish you
• 2:09:09
  Speaker 9: had won when you ran for mayor. It would have
• 2:09:11
  Speaker 9: spared New York a lot of the the difficulties we're
• 2:09:16
  Speaker 9: facing today.
• 2:09:17
  Speaker 5: I wish we would have both made the decision to
• 2:09:19
  Speaker 5: run when we thought we're going to run together on something.
• 2:09:22
  Speaker 9: Well, I think we'd be, we'd be a great team
• 2:09:26
  Speaker 9: and I appreciate your saying that.
• 2:09:28
  Speaker 5: Well, nine, nine 11 is coming up. You are the
• 2:09:32
  Speaker 5: main honoree for that because you helped bring everything together on,
• 2:09:38
  Speaker 5: on for New York city and New York state. And,
• 2:09:41
  Speaker 5: Your leadership was really, really needed. And also Cardinal Dolan
• 2:09:47
  Speaker 5: is going to show up, and he will be given
• 2:09:50
  Speaker 5: an award, too, for the moral leadership of all New
• 2:09:56
  Speaker 5: Yorkers and all Americans. And great entertainment. We have Lee Greenwood.
• 2:10:02
  Speaker 5: Lee Greenwood. You can't get better entertainment than that on 9-11.
• 2:10:05
  Speaker 5: Antonio Lando. Tie a yellow ribbon. Can't get better entertainment.
• 2:10:10
  Speaker 5: Joe Piscopo. You know, Fly Me to the Moon. And
• 2:10:14
  Speaker 5: Vinnie Bandungo. And Cousin Brucie. I mean, the greatest entertainment
• 2:10:19
  Speaker 5: package ever. And the greatest governor ever. And we may
• 2:10:24
  Speaker 5: have some... Secret service type people show up too, but
• 2:10:28
  Speaker 5: we'll see.
• 2:10:29
  Speaker 9: Well, thank you, John. You know, it wouldn't have happened
• 2:10:32
  Speaker 9: without you and WABC, and thank you for doing this
• 2:10:36
  Speaker 9: and for honoring me. I'm not used to being honored.
• 2:10:39
  Speaker 9: I like honoring other people, but the 25th commemoration of
• 2:10:44
  Speaker 9: September 11th will make an exception, but I'm looking forward
• 2:10:47
  Speaker 9: to it, and thank you all.
• 2:10:49
  Speaker 5: And thank you, Governor, and also we're going to have,
• 2:10:54
  Speaker 5: there was a few other things I wanted to say.
• 2:10:56
  Speaker 5: My God, what did I forget?
• 2:10:57
  Speaker 8: Well, I don't know, you know, when you're up as
• 2:10:59
  Speaker 8: many hours a day as you are sometimes.
• 2:11:02
  Speaker 5: I only slept four hours last night. Well, I came
• 2:11:05
  Speaker 5: home from the Hamptons last night, and I think I
• 2:11:09
  Speaker 5: got to sleep about one o'clock in the morning, and
• 2:11:11
  Speaker 5: I was up by five, but that's why I was
• 2:11:14
  Speaker 5: five minutes late to get to the studio.
• 2:11:15
  Speaker 8: Yeah, I fell asleep a little bit by midnight because
• 2:11:17
  Speaker 8: I was watching Djokovic. I really wanted to see him
• 2:11:21
  Speaker 8: pull it off.
• 2:11:22
  Speaker 5: I really did. But you know what?
• 2:11:24
  Speaker 8: As young as he is, younger than obviously all of us,
• 2:11:28
  Speaker 8: For tennis, it's old. I mean, he's playing a guy
• 2:11:32
  Speaker 8: who's unranked, who's young enough to be his grandson.
• 2:11:36
  Speaker 7: No, no, no.
• 2:11:37
  Speaker 5: Well, it depends on what state.
• 2:11:39
  Speaker 13: Yeah.
• 2:11:39
  Speaker 7: Well, anyway, Governor Pataki, thank you so much for joining us.
• 2:11:42
  Speaker 7: We are really looking forward to honoring you on the
• 2:11:45
  Speaker 7: night of September 11th, 2026. And again, uh, It's not
• 2:11:50
  Speaker 7: all a celebration and all a morning. It's a little
• 2:11:52
  Speaker 7: bit of both.
• 2:11:53
  Speaker 5: I guess Sid's still sleeping. Maybe he's taking advantage of
• 2:11:56
  Speaker 5: being in the time zone. It's only three hours. It's
• 2:12:00
  Speaker 5: only seven o'clock. It's only three hours, but I guess
• 2:12:01
  Speaker 5: he's still sleeping because he never reacted to my text.
• 2:12:05
  Speaker 5: Mine neither.
• 2:12:05
  Speaker 7: Anyway, so thank you again, Governor. Yeah, we're really up
• 2:12:10
  Speaker 7: against a number of things right now. We wanted to
• 2:12:12
  Speaker 7: update you on the situation with Iran. For those of
• 2:12:15
  Speaker 7: you who are just tuning in, For the first time
• 2:12:17
  Speaker 7: in about a month, the United States and Iran did
• 2:12:19
  Speaker 7: exchange fire again last night. The United States taking out
• 2:12:22
  Speaker 7: some missile launchers in Iran that are used to target.
• 2:12:27
  Speaker 7: And we should always say this. It isn't just shipping.
• 2:12:29
  Speaker 7: It's defenseless civilian shipping. OK, this is all egregious. No
• 2:12:33
  Speaker 7: matter what country's oil tanker it is, there is no
• 2:12:36
  Speaker 7: justification for attacking an unarmed non-military vessel. Anyway, the United
• 2:12:41
  Speaker 7: States took out some of those launchers. Iran vowed retaliation.
• 2:12:44
  Speaker 7: They tried. They fired a bunch of missiles and drones
• 2:12:47
  Speaker 7: at Jordan at our bases in Jordan and Jordan and
• 2:12:50
  Speaker 7: the United States cooperated in knocking those all down.
• 2:12:53
  Speaker 8: And I got to tell you, Jake, I have friends
• 2:12:55
  Speaker 8: who live in Jordan, my friend Faisal, and I actually
• 2:12:59
  Speaker 8: texted him about. 40 minutes ago, and he responded back immediately.
• 2:13:03
  Speaker 8: I asked him, I was like, hey, pal, everyone okay
• 2:13:06
  Speaker 8: after the Tehran attack? And his response, thankfully, was yes,
• 2:13:11
  Speaker 8: thank you. Nothing got through.

  Speaker 2: Breaking news, WABC.
• 2:16:28
  Speaker 7: So we're wrapping up here on Sit and Friend in
• 2:16:30
  Speaker 7: the Morning, but I just want to let you know
• 2:16:31
  Speaker 7: the Speaker of the New York City Council, Julie Mennon,
• 2:16:34
  Speaker 7: just put out a statement saying that she's made a
• 2:16:37
  Speaker 7: deal with the Met and they are not, not going
• 2:16:40
  Speaker 7: to honor this John Galliano. Michael Cohen, what is this
• 2:16:42
  Speaker 7: all about?
• 2:16:43
  Speaker 8: Yeah, so you'll remember several years back, John Galliano made
• 2:16:47
  Speaker 8: some pretty hellacious statements about Jews as well as Asians.
• 2:16:54
  Speaker 8: And while he never recanted, he continued forward for whatever reason,
• 2:17:00
  Speaker 8: and I still don't understand the reason they decided that
• 2:17:03
  Speaker 8: he was now going to be the third individual who
• 2:17:06
  Speaker 8: would receive the special Met award, so on and so forth. Well,
• 2:17:11
  Speaker 8: there's some controversy right now whether or not it's the
• 2:17:14
  Speaker 8: Met that pulled out or John Galliano pulled out. amid
• 2:17:19
  Speaker 8: all of these racism allegations and so on. And that's
• 2:17:23
  Speaker 8: breaking news, which we're going to have to do a
• 2:17:24
  Speaker 8: little more digging into. But either way, I couldn't be happier.
• 2:17:28
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I think this is good news. All right, this
• 2:17:30
  Speaker 7: has been Jake Novak, Michael Cohen, and John Cassidy. Is
• 2:17:32
  Speaker 7: that all there is?
• 2:17:33
  Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah. We're going to talk more about it tomorrow, John.
• 2:17:35
  Speaker 5: How about this? Six o'clock in the morning tomorrow, Jake
• 2:17:38
  Speaker 5: is going to be off. My God, you're going to
• 2:17:40
  Speaker 5: be moving.
• 2:17:41
  Speaker 20: Yeah.
• 2:17:42
  Speaker 5: You're going to get stuck with just John and I.
• 2:17:44
  Speaker 7: I'll have a hernia tomorrow.
• 2:17:46
  Speaker 5: Okay, you got Katz and Cohen.
• 2:17:49

  Speaker 23: Sit in friends in the morning. And Barish and McGarry
• 2:18:17
  Speaker 23: remember 9-11. Howard Ludnick with Connie Chung following 9-11.
• 2:18:24
  Speaker 27: Of the 1,000 Cantor employees at the Trade Center, only
• 2:18:28
  Speaker 27: 300 are accounted for at this time, and none was
• 2:18:31
  Speaker 27: at the building at that time. This immense human loss
• 2:18:34
  Speaker 27: has truly devastated the chairman and CEO, Howard Lutnick, whose
• 2:18:39
  Speaker 27: own brother is missing and presumed dead. You have suffered
• 2:18:43
  Speaker 27: such great professional and personal loss. What is the fate
• 2:18:50
  Speaker 27: of your brother?
• 2:18:51
  Speaker 2: Well, my brother.
• 2:18:54
  Speaker 28: My brother was on the 103rd floor, he worked for me,
• 2:18:57
  Speaker 28: and he worked at Cantor, and he called my.
• 2:19:01
  Speaker 24: Sister just after.
• 2:19:04
  Speaker 28: The plane hit, and he told her that, he said
• 2:19:08
  Speaker 28: that the smoke was pouring in, he was stuck in
• 2:19:11
  Speaker 28: a corner office, there was no way out, and the
• 2:19:13
  Speaker 28: smoke was coming in, and he's not good, and things
• 2:19:16
  Speaker 28: are not good, and he's.
• 2:19:17
  Speaker 2: Not gonna make it.
• 2:19:18
  Speaker 24: And he just wanted to say that he loved her,
• 2:19:21
  Speaker 24: and he wanted to say goodbye. and tell everyone that
• 2:19:25
  Speaker 24: he loved them. And then the phone went dead. So
• 2:19:30
  Speaker 24: while I'm the head of the company, I'm trying to
• 2:19:32
  Speaker 24: help my 700 employees who are missing their loved ones.
• 2:19:37
  Speaker 24: I'm just another one of them. Just another one of them.
• 2:19:42
  Speaker 27: Normally you would have been in your office on which floor?
• 2:19:46
  Speaker 2: 105th floor. On the 105th floor.
• 2:19:48
  Speaker 1: And yet you didn't go in early that morning.
• 2:19:53
  Speaker 27: Because of a critical decision you made.
• 2:19:58
  Speaker 29: My little boy, I have a five-year-old, and it was
• 2:19:59
  Speaker 29: his first day of kindergarten at Horace Mann, so I
• 2:20:03
  Speaker 29: took him for his first day at big boy school.
• 2:20:05
  Speaker 29: And because of that, I was late getting down to
• 2:20:08
  Speaker 29: the office, and therefore I wasn't.
• 2:20:11
  Speaker 2: In the building.
• 2:20:11
  Speaker 29: I was on my way to the building instead.
• 2:20:14
  Speaker 27: And when you got to the building?
• 2:20:15
  Speaker 30: Well, I saw the building on fire, so I didn't
• 2:20:19
  Speaker 30: go in, but I stood at the.
• 2:20:22
  Speaker 2: Door off of Church Street where there were flags there,
• 2:20:27
  Speaker 2: and I stood at that.
• 2:20:27
  Speaker 30: Door, and people were coming out, and I was yelling
• 2:20:30
  Speaker 30: at them to run and get out. and there were
• 2:20:33
  Speaker 30: police sort of around me yelling at people, telling them
• 2:20:35
  Speaker 30: to get out, and I would ask them what floor
• 2:20:37
  Speaker 30: they were coming from, what floor they were coming from.
• 2:20:39
  Speaker 30: Someone would say 55, and I'd scream, we have 55,
• 2:20:42
  Speaker 30: because I kept wanting to get up the building.
• 2:20:43
  Speaker 1: And get people out of the building. Because all your
• 2:20:47
  Speaker 1: employees were on.
• 2:20:47
  Speaker 24: 101 to 105, the top floors of the number one
• 2:20:50
  Speaker 24: World Trade Center, which they call now the North Tower.
