Sid & Friends In The Morning Says Stay Vigilant After New Political Landscape Emerges from Midterms · Sid & Friends In The Morning

Speaker 1: Sid and friends in the morning.
0:03
Speaker 2: Entertaining and informative.
0:05
Speaker 3: On the Red Apple Podcast Network.
0:09
Speaker 2: I know you don't smoke weed. I know this. But
0:13
Speaker 2: I'm going to get you high today.
0:15
Speaker 4: Because it's Friday.
0:17
Speaker 3: You ain't got no job.
0:18
Speaker 5: And you ain't got shit to do.
0:20
Speaker 6: After the Democrats' decisive win in the midterms, the focus
0:23
Speaker 6: is now transitioning to how the parties will govern together
0:26
Speaker 6: with a new power structure.
0:28
Speaker 7: Natalie Brand has more from the White House.
0:31
Speaker 6: President Trump has no public events scheduled as of yet.
0:34
Speaker 2: We did it!
0:35
Speaker 6: Two days after Democrats overwhelmingly won control of both the
0:39
Speaker 6: House and Senate in the midterm elections.
0:41
Speaker 2: If I were on the ballot, we would have won.
0:43
Speaker 8: Wednesday, the president weighed in on Vice President J.D.
0:46
Speaker 6: Vance's assessment that the war with Iran led to heavy losses.
0:49
Speaker 9: I think it's largely true because it drove the gasoline
0:53
Speaker 9: up a little bit short term.
0:55
Speaker 2: And probably that's probably true.
0:58
Speaker 6: President Trump said in an interview this morning he intends
1:01
Speaker 6: to keep Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth in his job. Sources
1:05
Speaker 6: told CBS News he was asking advisers if Hegseth should
1:09
Speaker 6: be removed.
1:10
Speaker 2: I never thought I'd see the day where POTUS would
1:13
Speaker 2: allow anyone in his administration to undermine him. But clearly
1:19
Speaker 2: that day has arrived. Vance lays out four reasons why
1:22
Speaker 2: the Republicans got walloped yesterday. And of course, two were
1:27
Speaker 2: Iran and Israel. I mean, it wouldn't be a man's
1:31
Speaker 2: tweet without at least one shot directed at our best
1:34
Speaker 2: ally in the world. I met with the guy and
1:37
Speaker 2: neither Israel or Tucker Carlson ever came up in our conversation.
1:42
Speaker 10: Why?
1:43
Speaker 2: Because he knew he couldn't appease me on either front.
1:47
Speaker 2: Today's tweet from the vice president is further proof I
1:51
Speaker 2: could never vote for this guy, the president of the
1:54
Speaker 2: United States.
1:55
Speaker 11: I will say that the prime directive of a vice president,
1:58
Speaker 11: besides going to funerals and rhetorically battling on behalf of
2:04
Speaker 11: the president, which J.D. proved in the 2024 he was
2:08
Speaker 11: a master at, but it's also to protect the president
2:12
Speaker 11: from personal invective and attack. So when you have people
2:17
Speaker 11: on the right, claiming that he's a pedophile like Marjorie
2:21
Speaker 11: Taylor Greene did, or that he's satanic and should be
2:25
Speaker 11: impeached and he's a crazy nuclear bomber like Tucker Carlson did,
2:30
Speaker 11: and the vice president does not stand up and say,
2:33
Speaker 11: wait a minute, this is my president, this is the
2:37
Speaker 11: people we elected, we in the Republican Party, he's not Satan,
2:40
Speaker 11: he's not going to be impeached, he's not going to
2:43
Speaker 11: bomb somebody with a nuclear bomb. What are you talking about?
2:46
Speaker 11: He didn't do that for reasons unknown, especially in the
2:50
Speaker 11: Tucker case. But I think he's going to have to
2:52
Speaker 11: at some point.
2:53
Speaker 9: What J.D. Vance did yesterday was absolutely detestable. Huge, big lie,
2:57
Speaker 9: basically saying that the reason the Republicans got Social Act
3:02
Speaker 9: was the war in Iran and our relationship with Israel
3:06
Speaker 9: has to change. Inferring that Israel was the issue.
3:08
Speaker 12: It was not.
3:09
Speaker 9: That's just a big lie. 90% of people said the
3:12
Speaker 9: reason they voted against Republicans was cost. 89% said it
3:14
Speaker 9: was corruption. Only 4% said foreign relations was the issue.
3:18
Speaker 7: But of course, let's blame Israel.
3:21
Speaker 5: Shame on you, J.D. Vance.
3:22
Speaker 9: I actually think this is the beginning and the end
3:24
Speaker 9: of MAGA. I think J.D.
3:26
Speaker 5: Vance is MAGA.
3:26
Speaker 9: I do not think he's going to be a viable
3:28
Speaker 9: or certainly not a winning candidate in 2028.
3:30
Speaker 7: That's the good news. I actually think and maybe this
3:32
Speaker 7: is hopeful.
3:32
Speaker 9: Thinking that the Republicans are going to move back towards
3:34
Speaker 9: the center and that would be a winning strategy. I
3:36
Speaker 9: talked about how I worried about the Democrats lurching far
3:39
Speaker 9: left going forward. They did elect some decent centrists yesterday.
3:43
Speaker 9: Let's see what happens with them. but I think whoever
3:45
Speaker 9: gets closer to the Senate wins the next election.
3:49
Speaker 5: Shame on J.D. Vance.
3:50
Speaker 7: Once again, the big lie.
3:51
Speaker 9: Let's blame Israel. I do not think you are a
3:55
Speaker 9: viable candidate going forward, and I think that's the really.
3:58
Speaker 7: Good news here. Well, in his role as vice president,
4:00
Speaker 7: if he's interested in advancing things that are going to
4:03
Speaker 7: get money out of politics, put money in pockets, pass
4:04
Speaker 7: Medicare for all, I'm looking forward to working together. He
4:07
Speaker 7: is the vice president. Donald Trump is the president. I'll
4:10
Speaker 7: work with anybody to serve the people of the state
4:12
Speaker 7: of Michigan, and if they're serious about doing that, Let's
4:14
Speaker 7: get some stuff done in their political roles, in the
4:17
Speaker 7: ways that they behave outside of their actual roles as
4:20
Speaker 7: president and vice president. I find them odious. They've taken
4:22
Speaker 7: us down the path. You see J.D. Vance now. He's
4:25
Speaker 7: sprinting as hard backwards as he can from this terrible,
4:28
Speaker 7: disastrous war in Iran. I'm like, now's not the time,
4:30
Speaker 7: my guy. It would have been eight months ago. You
4:31
Speaker 7: should have spoke up, but you never will because, of course,
4:34
Speaker 7: you have you are a coward who has decided that
4:37
Speaker 7: whatever Donald Trump says should go until, of course, Donald
4:40
Speaker 7: Trump is now a loser at the ballot box. And
4:41
Speaker 7: now you're trying to find a different way.
4:43
Speaker 6: Turning now to the midterm shakeup, Democrats are preparing to
4:46
Speaker 6: take charge of Congress while Republicans are trying.
4:49
Speaker 13: To pick up the pieces following Tuesday's midterms.
4:52
Speaker 7: So let's get to Dick Brennan.
4:53
Speaker 10: He is here now with more of the fallout day
4:56
Speaker 10: two after the elections. So what's going to happen next?
4:59
Speaker 14: Well, maybe more blaming because that's what it is right now,
5:01
Speaker 14: Christine and Jess, the blame game exploding amongst Republicans. There
5:05
Speaker 14: are questions about whether the defense secretary should be fired. Meantime,
5:08
Speaker 14: here in New York, Bruce Blakeman is turning his fire
5:11
Speaker 14: on former Republican Congresswoman Elise Stefanik, who reportedly called him
5:15
Speaker 14: a low energy candidate. Days after sweeping losses, Republicans are
5:20
Speaker 14: starting to point fingers. Bruce Blakeman blaming Elise Stefanik on
5:23
Speaker 14: social media, calling her a do-nothing politician that didn't lift
5:27
Speaker 14: a finger to help Republican candidates. Stefanik responded, saying in part,
5:31
Speaker 14: I voted for Bruce and straight Republican ticket and have
5:34
Speaker 14: worked for decades helping Republicans across the state and country,
5:38
Speaker 14: including him.
5:39
Speaker 7: Jay Woods is here.
5:40
Speaker 10: What do you say about a day like today? The
5:41
Speaker 10: Dow is down 1,700 points.
5:43
Speaker 5: Worried?
5:43
Speaker 13: Are you going to sleep tonight?
5:45
Speaker 10: What do you think in a week from now?
5:47
Speaker 15: I am going to sleep tonight. But this is the
5:48
Speaker 15: washout that we felt could be coming. The semiconductor stocks
5:52
Speaker 15: leading the way down. They've been under pressure for a while.
5:55
Speaker 15: Now we're getting that sell-off.
5:56
Speaker 7: Do you buy? This is when you get the shopping
5:58
Speaker 7: list ready.
5:59
Speaker 2: I am buying.
6:00
Speaker 15: And if you tune in to us in a little while,
6:02
Speaker 15: you'll see what we're buying. But Micron, NVIDIA, I would
6:07
Speaker 15: start to nibble. SMH, Semiconductor Index.
6:09
Speaker 2: Start to nibble.
6:10
Speaker 15: This has the potential of a washout, possible V-bottom.
6:14
Speaker 7: The question is, when does it stop? I think we
6:15
Speaker 7: have a few more weeks.
6:16
Speaker 2: I did play the cut of Jay Woods. And my
6:20
Speaker 2: dear friend, I love this girl, Nicole Petalidis.
6:24
Speaker 16: Oh, my God.
6:25
Speaker 2: I got it right, didn't I? I know. So I
6:29
Speaker 2: got to tell you a quick story. So I put
6:32
Speaker 2: that story in the open because it's a big deal.
6:35
Speaker 2: In fact, Fox News this morning said, The very first
6:39
Speaker 2: guest they had, Cheryl Cassone. Is that how you say
6:43
Speaker 2: her name?
6:44
Speaker 16: Yeah, that one.
6:44
Speaker 2: She's on the big show, I guess. And they talked
6:47
Speaker 2: about yesterday's awful market day. NASDAQ took a hit. S
6:51
Speaker 2: & P took a hit. Dow Jones took a hit. Now,
6:54
Speaker 2: I'm not a stock guy by any measure. I know
6:57
Speaker 2: very little about the market. Everybody knows that. But every
7:00
Speaker 2: day when I get off the train, I walk down
7:04
Speaker 2: Wall Street. to get to the ferry to go home
7:06
Speaker 2: to Queens. And just about every day, I'm not exaggerating,
7:11
Speaker 2: just about every day, somebody comes walking outside the New
7:15
Speaker 2: York Stock Exchange, and they go, Sid, Sid, I love you. Sid,
7:20
Speaker 2: I love you. So I keep thinking, I got to
7:23
Speaker 2: go inside one of these days. Now, you remember, Lewis, God,
7:27
Speaker 2: it's got to be 25 years ago. that when we
7:30
Speaker 2: were on the Imus in the Morning program, we did
7:33
Speaker 2: a couple of shows live from the New York Stock Exchange.
7:37
Speaker 5: Yep.
7:38
Speaker 2: You remember that?
7:38
Speaker 16: I do remember.
7:39
Speaker 2: They were big deals. At the time, Dick Grasso was
7:42
Speaker 2: in charge. Dick loved us, still does, and Imus loved Dick,
7:46
Speaker 2: and that didn't sound that good, did it? Imus loved Dick,
7:51
Speaker 2: and we did those shows from the Stock Exchange, but
7:54
Speaker 2: I've not been inside in 20-plus years. And I know
7:59
Speaker 2: my friend Nicole is in there. So I'm walking down
8:02
Speaker 2: the street yesterday. I have no idea what's going on
8:04
Speaker 2: with the market at this point. I just want to
8:06
Speaker 2: go inside. And I text Nicole. And I say, hey,
8:10
Speaker 2: are you there? And she said, yes. Are you here?
8:14
Speaker 2: And I said, just so happens I'm standing outside. Right
8:18
Speaker 2: there on Broad Street. Well, come on in. The guys
8:21
Speaker 2: would love to see you. So I spanned, Noam. About
8:25
Speaker 2: 30 minutes, thanks to my dear friend, the brilliant and
8:29
Speaker 2: lovely Nicole Petalidis. She walks me around the floor. And
8:34
Speaker 2: I got to tell you, I was very popular. Very,
8:37
Speaker 2: I mean, really popular. Just about every one of those
8:41
Speaker 2: nooks and crannies where the guys are in there on
8:43
Speaker 2: their computers trying to save the economic day. Just about
8:47
Speaker 2: every one of them loved me. I'm not exaggerating no more, Lou.
8:50
Speaker 2: They all came out, took pictures.
8:53
Speaker 16: Anybody crying?
8:54
Speaker 2: No, no women. These are all guys for the most part.
8:57
Speaker 2: What does that mean?
8:57
Speaker 16: Guys can't cry?
8:58
Speaker 2: No, not usually. Usually the women get all emotional when
9:02
Speaker 2: they meet me. The guys are excited to meet me,
9:04
Speaker 2: but they don't get emotional like that.
9:06
Speaker 16: I thought they would have been crying, but it would
9:07
Speaker 16: have been due.
9:08
Speaker 2: To the market. Right, right.
9:11
Speaker 1: So you're the reason the market's tanked.
9:13
Speaker 17: You took their eyes off the prize.
9:15
Speaker 2: By the time I walked in, Nicole pointed to the
9:19
Speaker 2: board and said, The market was already down 1,200 points.
9:22
Speaker 2: So nice try, Noam. Nice try.
9:24
Speaker 16: But you had walked in.
9:25
Speaker 2: It got worse.
9:26
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was 1,800 or something.
9:28
Speaker 2: I know. It got worse. 1,700, I believe. But here's
9:31
Speaker 2: the best part. So I do the tour with Nicole.
9:34
Speaker 2: She was lovely. She's coming on this morning, which is great.
9:37
Speaker 2: She'll explain what happened yesterday, which is a big deal
9:39
Speaker 2: in New York City. And then I exit the stock exchange.
9:43
Speaker 2: So if you guys, and you do this, Lou, if
9:45
Speaker 2: you walk down Wall Street, even outside Broad Street, You
9:50
Speaker 2: see like three or four different TV shows. They literally
9:54
Speaker 2: stand outside. And I guess they interview people coming in
9:58
Speaker 2: and out of the exchange. I have no idea who
10:01
Speaker 2: these people are. But you see cameras, well-dressed people standing
10:05
Speaker 2: outside the stock exchange. Right there on Wall Street or
10:09
Speaker 2: Broad Street. So I come walking out. I got the tan.
10:12
Speaker 2: I got the pink jacket. Looking like a million bucks.
10:15
Speaker 2: And some young girl walks over. She's wearing a green dress. Attractive.
10:20
Speaker 2: And she goes, can we interview you? I said, sure.
10:23
Speaker 2: I know nothing about the market. I mean, nothing. Why not?
10:27
Speaker 2: So the first question she asked, you're going to love this.
10:30
Speaker 2: She goes, so tell me, sir, how old were you
10:34
Speaker 2: when you made your first million dollars? The first question.
10:39
Speaker 2: And I go, I tell you what, when I do,
10:42
Speaker 2: I'll let you know.
10:43
Speaker 16: That's it.
10:44
Speaker 5: Let me call you.
10:45
Speaker 16: I'll call you.
10:45
Speaker 1: What an odd question to ask just a random person.
10:48
Speaker 2: Because I guess to her, I look like this success.
10:51
Speaker 2: I'm coming out of the stock exchange. So, you know,
10:54
Speaker 2: you must have made millions and millions of dollars. So
10:56
Speaker 2: you're going to give us the reason why it's all
10:59
Speaker 2: falling apart today. It did make sense. I guess I
11:02
Speaker 2: looked apart. But no, sweetheart, you got the wrong guy.
11:07
Speaker 2: I'm not making a million dollars. Should be. So anyway.
11:11
Speaker 2: We go on through the rest of the interview. She's
11:13
Speaker 2: asking me about stocks. What would you advise people? I
11:17
Speaker 2: have no idea what the hell I'm talking about. I'm like, listen,
11:20
Speaker 2: just stay away from stocks. That could be affected by Washington, D.C., okay?
11:25
Speaker 16: Good answer.
11:25
Speaker 2: Very good. I go, so I remember Nicole had told
11:28
Speaker 2: me earlier in the day that Below 5 was doing good.
11:32
Speaker 2: I go, go after Below 5 stocks. I go, even
11:37
Speaker 2: NVIDIA is taking a hit today. Even NVIDIA. So when
11:40
Speaker 2: I'm done, the girl's like, Oh, you're really good. You
11:42
Speaker 2: work in there? I go, no. I'm not very good.
11:45
Speaker 2: I know nothing. I had one two-minute conversation with Nicole,
11:48
Speaker 2: and that was the whole interview. It got me through.
11:50
Speaker 2: I did three of them. Three of them. Every person
11:54
Speaker 2: grabbed me to come over and do an interview on
11:57
Speaker 2: why the market was having a bad day. Mind you,
11:59
Speaker 2: I own zero stocks. Zero. I don't make enough money
12:03
Speaker 2: to own stocks.
12:05
Speaker 5: Zero.
12:06
Speaker 2: But you would have thought I was like a young... Kramer,
12:10
Speaker 2: you know? Who's a big deal in that market now
12:13
Speaker 2: on TV? Is Ron and Santa still a big deal?
12:15
Speaker 1: I think he's still doing.
12:16
Speaker 13: It, yeah.
12:17
Speaker 2: I think he still does it. But who's like the
12:19
Speaker 2: big star in that besides Nicole? You know, years ago,
12:24
Speaker 2: Nicole explained to me when they started Fox Business, she
12:29
Speaker 2: was on the floor that day with Roger Ailes. God
12:31
Speaker 2: rest his soul. And then you had people like Martha
12:34
Speaker 2: McCallum and obviously the tremendous Maria Bartiromo. They all did
12:39
Speaker 2: shows from inside the stock exchange. And they were all
12:43
Speaker 2: big deals, obviously, but I don't watch CNBC or Fox Business. Oh,
12:47
Speaker 2: maybe what's his name? Stu Varney?
12:50
Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, he's still there.
12:51
Speaker 2: But he's a big deal, no?
12:52
Speaker 15: Mm-hmm.
12:54
Speaker 2: You don't know any other names?
12:55
Speaker 17: I'm not a big business news watcher, so I'm the
12:59
Speaker 17: wrong person to ask.
12:59
Speaker 2: Ross Sullivan goes, you should have told her to buy low,
13:02
Speaker 2: sell high. I did that. I actually did that.
13:04
Speaker 1: Did you really?
13:04
Speaker 2: I'm like, today's a good day to buy low. It's
13:07
Speaker 2: a great day to buy. Everything's cheap. The market's taking a...
13:11
Speaker 2: And then it's funny. We played the Jay Woods clip
13:13
Speaker 2: this morning. He said the same thing. I mean, I
13:16
Speaker 2: got to tell you, you talk about just going off
13:20
Speaker 2: the cuff with no idea. Those are my three interviews yesterday.
13:25
Speaker 2: And amazingly, what I ended up saying was right. Complete luck.
13:31
Speaker 2: Complete luck.
13:32
Speaker 17: Can you imagine the dope who is watching and is like, oh,
13:35
Speaker 17: I've got to go buy stock below five.
13:38
Speaker 2: Below five. Sid Rosenberg said, I've got to buy stock
13:41
Speaker 2: below five. So that was my day yesterday. I do
13:45
Speaker 2: want to thank Nicole. Petaliti is once again going to
13:47
Speaker 2: join us coming up at about 735 this morning. It
13:51
Speaker 2: was awesome, man. It really is an amazing place, a building.
13:55
Speaker 2: You walk around and that ceiling is inside the stock
13:59
Speaker 2: exchange is amazing. And they're building a brand new restaurant.
14:03
Speaker 2: She tells me it's just, Tremendous history. I really enjoyed it.
14:07
Speaker 2: I really did.
14:07
Speaker 16: Well, it looks great on the outside. It's super impressive.
14:11
Speaker 17: Yes.
14:11
Speaker 16: And when you're walking in there, if you don't know
14:14
Speaker 16: really what's going on, it's daunting.
14:16
Speaker 2: It is daunting.
14:17
Speaker 16: To see everybody running around.
14:18
Speaker 2: But they don't have that now. So that's the other thing.
14:20
Speaker 2: So my son, Gabriel, it turns out, my beautiful boy,
14:24
Speaker 2: I didn't even know this. He's been telling my beautiful wife, Danielle,
14:27
Speaker 2: his mother, he's trying to go to the stock exchange.
14:30
Speaker 2: So I put up a picture on Instagram, and Gabriel
14:33
Speaker 2: always likes my pictures first. Of me and Nicole. He goes, Daddy,
14:38
Speaker 2: you're at the Stock Exchange? I go, yeah, why? He goes,
14:41
Speaker 2: I keep telling Mommy I'm dying to go. I said, oh,
14:45
Speaker 2: just tell me. I'll text Nicole. You'll be in in
14:48
Speaker 2: five seconds. How was it? I'm like, I've been here before.
14:52
Speaker 2: But it was very, very cool. He's dying to come.
14:56
Speaker 2: My son is dying to see the Stock Exchange. Why?
15:00
Speaker 2: Because he saw the movie Wall Street.
15:03
Speaker 5: Okay?
15:03
Speaker 10: Okay.
15:04
Speaker 2: And in the movie Wall Street, Michael Douglas plays Gordon Gekko.
15:08
Speaker 2: Charlie Sheen plays Bud Fox. And the action you see
15:12
Speaker 2: on the floor is hypnotizing. It's amazing. Guys yelling, buy, sell, buy, sell.
15:19
Speaker 2: I mean, just all this activity. Here's the bad news.
15:23
Speaker 2: In real life, it's not like that. There is nothing
15:26
Speaker 2: going on on the floor.
15:28
Speaker 5: Nothing.
15:29
Speaker 2: Now, it was explained to me that the opening bell, yes,
15:32
Speaker 2: it could be a bit hectic. Could be, not necessarily,
15:35
Speaker 2: the closing bell, yes, if there's a big IPO and
15:39
Speaker 2: President Trump is there or Eric Trump, sure. But if
15:43
Speaker 2: you're envisioning the stock exchange like the old days when
15:48
Speaker 2: there were guys on the floor yelling and screaming and
15:50
Speaker 2: throwing tickets around and all that, that no longer exists.
15:55
Speaker 2: It's literally quiet. Isn't that unbelievable, Noam? It is. Did
15:59
Speaker 2: you know that?
15:59
Speaker 17: I did, because I have a friend who owns a
16:01
Speaker 17: financial firm, and they actually... have an office there. They
16:05
Speaker 17: never use, they share it with like three other firms
16:07
Speaker 17: and it's totally just to entertain some of their clients
16:10
Speaker 17: who are from out of town who want to see
16:11
Speaker 17: the floor. So they'll switch out the signs when they come.
16:14
Speaker 17: So they'll say, okay, they put up their name and
16:16
Speaker 17: then they entertain the client. They show them the floor,
16:19
Speaker 17: you know, for an hour or so, give them a
16:20
Speaker 17: tour and then they send them back to like Oklahoma
16:22
Speaker 17: or wherever they're from.
16:23
Speaker 1: But it's nowhere near what it was.
16:25
Speaker 2: No, it's not like that. It's not like that. It's
16:27
Speaker 2: very quiet, actually. You walk around and all these firms,
16:31
Speaker 2: you know, I guess she's with Schwab, I think, Nicole,
16:34
Speaker 2: you know. But they're inside these little areas with their
16:37
Speaker 2: computers and trying to figure out how to make your
16:40
Speaker 2: money work for you. So it doesn't have that same
16:43
Speaker 2: excitement like the movie portrays, but it's still a very,
16:47
Speaker 2: very cool experience. You know, all the people that come
16:51
Speaker 2: to New York and do all the tourist things, Times Square,
16:54
Speaker 2: for example, that's a big deal. Millions will come to
16:57
Speaker 2: see the Rockefeller Center Christmas tree. I got news for you.
17:01
Speaker 2: You know what tree is actually nicer than the Rockefeller
17:05
Speaker 2: Center Christmas tree? The tree outside the Stock Exchange.
17:09
Speaker 16: Oh, that's a nice tree.
17:09
Speaker 2: That tree on Wall Street is gorgeous. It's actually a
17:12
Speaker 2: broad street, but that's a gorgeous tree. I think that's
17:16
Speaker 2: awesome on its way. The Rock Center tree is on
17:18
Speaker 2: its way already, right?
17:19
Speaker 10: No?
17:19
Speaker 8: Yes, Saturday.
17:20
Speaker 1: Arrives Saturday.
17:21
Speaker 2: Really?
17:22
Speaker 5: Mm-hmm.
17:22
Speaker 2: And you're telling me that's not early? I don't think so.
17:25
Speaker 17: I think they, you know, they take three, well, the
17:28
Speaker 17: lighting is like early December, so they take two or
17:30
Speaker 17: three weeks to dress it up. You know, Thanksgiving is only,
17:33
Speaker 17: is less than three weeks away.
17:34
Speaker 13: I know.
17:35
Speaker 2: Believe me, I know. I know. It's my son's birthday, too.
17:37
Speaker 2: Gabriel's going to be 18 years old, which is just unbelievable.
17:41
Speaker 2: And I told you I got three weddings. Siggy Flickr's
17:43
Speaker 2: son getting married tomorrow. I'm going to that on Long Island.
17:48
Speaker 2: Scott Arbus' daughter, Hannah, Scott turned 60 yesterday. She's getting
17:53
Speaker 2: married in two weeks. Mike Sullivan's son, Austin, he's getting
17:58
Speaker 2: married in two weeks. And the week before Thanksgiving, every
18:02
Speaker 2: year that Thursday night, I've got the great Teddy Atlas event.
18:06
Speaker 2: I've got three weddings and two events before Thanksgiving. You
18:10
Speaker 2: want to talk about a guy in demand, my God.
18:13
Speaker 2: And all I can think about is... I hate wearing ties.
18:17
Speaker 2: You think I'm kidding, though? Like, can I get away
18:20
Speaker 2: with not wearing a tie to Siggy Blicker's wedding tomorrow night? Like,
18:25
Speaker 2: I'm big enough star to do that, right?
18:28
Speaker 1: It's not a black tie.
18:29
Speaker 7: I don't know.
18:30
Speaker 1: Oh, well, look at the invitation.
18:31
Speaker 2: It's not the Sands on Long Island.
18:33
Speaker 1: It may be black tie.
18:34
Speaker 2: I don't know.
18:35
Speaker 1: I would think she would throw a black tie wedding.
18:36
Speaker 5: Yeah.
18:37
Speaker 1: That seems to fit her personality.
18:38
Speaker 2: I'm not wearing a black suit anyway. And I can't
18:41
Speaker 2: stand tuxedos. I think men look ridiculous in tuxedos. I've
18:45
Speaker 2: been over this before a million times. They look ridiculous.
18:48
Speaker 2: It doesn't matter what kind of vest you put on
18:51
Speaker 2: or a cummerbund or colored buttons or a colored tie.
18:55
Speaker 2: I think men look ridiculous. And everybody walking around like
18:58
Speaker 2: one big penguin dance. I can't stand it. So even
19:03
Speaker 2: if it is black tie and I have to wear
19:05
Speaker 2: a tie, I'm not even wearing a black suit. Is
19:08
Speaker 2: that bad, Dom?
19:09
Speaker 13: No.
19:10
Speaker 1: Nobody's going to say anything to you.
19:12
Speaker 5: Oh, yeah, they are. No, they won't.
19:13
Speaker 2: Then I say, I love you.
19:14
Speaker 8: Oh, yeah.
19:15
Speaker 1: And then they're going to cry when they meet you.
19:17
Speaker 1: But I mean, not about your clothing. They won't come.
19:19
Speaker 2: But maybe privately, Sig, you'll tell Michael. What's wrong with Sid?
19:22
Speaker 2: Come on. You don't think so?
19:24
Speaker 5: No.
19:25
Speaker 2: Yeah. I'm warning all three people, Siggy, Scott Arbus, and
19:30
Speaker 2: Mike Sullivan, don't bother me about my attire. Don't do it.
19:34
Speaker 2: Because that's all I'm worried about right now. I'm not
19:36
Speaker 2: worried about the gift, talking to people I don't know,
19:39
Speaker 2: any of that stuff. I'm worried about My tie and
19:42
Speaker 2: what I have to wear.
19:43
Speaker 16: Well, if you decided you're not going to do it,
19:45
Speaker 16: why are you worrying about it then?
19:47
Speaker 2: Because I know Danielle is going to break my balls and...
19:49
Speaker 2: you know, my kids will break my balls and who
19:52
Speaker 2: knows who else. I don't care, but I do care
19:54
Speaker 2: actually because Danielle makes me cry. Shut up, you two.
19:59
Speaker 2: Your wife doesn't make you cry, no?
20:01
Speaker 1: You know, she has a few.
20:06
Speaker 2: Times, yeah. So, we'll talk to Nicole coming up at
20:09
Speaker 2: about 7.35 and find out if we can recover from
20:12
Speaker 2: this economic mess. And the other recovery process is the Republicans.
20:17
Speaker 2: I'll ask all my guests this today, but I'll start
20:21
Speaker 2: with Noam. Noam is MAGA dead.
20:27
Speaker 1: Not completely, no.
20:28
Speaker 2: Okay, why not?
20:30
Speaker 17: Well, there's still two years left for him to do
20:33
Speaker 17: some good things. And even though he's going to be
20:35
Speaker 17: working with the Congress that isn't going to want to
20:37
Speaker 17: try to help him, there's still time to, I think,
20:40
Speaker 17: you know, do some, it's going to be rough, but
20:43
Speaker 17: I think he could do some good things, lower help,
20:45
Speaker 17: lower prices, that kind of thing over the next two
20:47
Speaker 17: years and maybe walk out popular.
20:49
Speaker 1: Who knows?
20:50
Speaker 5: Yeah.
20:50
Speaker 2: But is that MAGA is working with somebody like El
20:53
Speaker 2: Sayed MAGA? I mean, look, you know how much I
20:57
Speaker 2: love Trump, but I'm tired.
20:59
Speaker 5: Okay.
21:00
Speaker 2: Again, again, for a reason I don't know. He went
21:04
Speaker 2: out of his way. He went out of his way
21:07
Speaker 2: yesterday to tell us what a great guy Mamdani is.
21:12
Speaker 2: He did it again yesterday. What a great guy Mamdani is.
21:17
Speaker 2: Love working with him. He's a great guy. He's got
21:20
Speaker 2: some tough policies. Oh, really, Mr. President? Some tough policies?
21:26
Speaker 2: I'm so tired. of the whole Trump-Mamdani stuff. I really am.
21:31
Speaker 2: If at the end of the day, Trump and Sid
21:34
Speaker 2: ever go bad, which is a possibility, I got to
21:37
Speaker 2: be honest, it's because of Mamdani. I can't stand it.
21:41
Speaker 2: Again yesterday, we just got our asses kicked, kicked by
21:46
Speaker 2: the Democrats two days ago, okay? People like El-Sayed, And
21:51
Speaker 2: 48 hours later, you're once again telling everybody what a
21:55
Speaker 2: great guy this radical Islam, jihad, terrorist mayor is? I'm
22:02
Speaker 2: not conforming, folks. I'm telling you that right now.
22:06
Speaker 5: Okay?
22:07
Speaker 2: If you want me to just come along for the ride,
22:10
Speaker 2: say nice things about Democrats, hope it all works out,
22:15
Speaker 2: it ain't going to work here. I'm not changing. I
22:18
Speaker 2: don't feel any differently about Democrats today than I did
22:22
Speaker 2: two days ago. This is why I did not want
22:24
Speaker 2: my picture in the WABC promo yesterday. And I don't
22:29
Speaker 2: know if John was upset or not. I don't think
22:30
Speaker 2: he was. I think he gets it. But even if
22:33
Speaker 2: he was, I love John. I love him to death.
22:36
Speaker 2: And John has to work with Democrats. He's a business leader.
22:40
Speaker 2: Makes a lot of money. He has to. I don't.
22:43
Speaker 2: Trump has to. I don't. So if you're looking for
22:46
Speaker 2: me to be softer, and work with the Democrats, and
22:50
Speaker 2: let's get along, you're going to be really disappointed. I
22:54
Speaker 2: hate them every much today as I did two days ago.
22:57
Speaker 2: And let me tell you something. For all you folks
22:59
Speaker 2: out there that are warming up now because they won,
23:02
Speaker 2: get ready for the next two years. If you don't
23:05
Speaker 2: think these lunatics are going to make life miserable, I mean,
23:09
Speaker 2: don't tell me your good friends with President Trump But
23:13
Speaker 2: you're going to warm up to the Democrats. They're about
23:15
Speaker 2: to make his life so miserable. Him, his children, his friends.
23:22
Speaker 2: I mean, I think that's the case. If I'm wrong, okay,
23:24
Speaker 2: I'm wrong. But I didn't spend the last 10 years
23:28
Speaker 2: on WABC hammering at this particular party to say, well,
23:35
Speaker 2: they've won, all is good now. That's nuts. Their policies
23:39
Speaker 2: are still awful. So, if you're still MAGA, or not MAGA,
23:45
Speaker 2: but still a staunch Republican, and you want to listen
23:49
Speaker 2: to somebody who is going to be with you every
23:51
Speaker 2: step of the way, you listen to me. Because I'm
23:55
Speaker 2: not changing. Not for anybody. What about that, Norman?
24:00
Speaker 17: Yeah, though I don't think the president can get anything
24:02
Speaker 17: done that way. I mean, look what he did just
24:04
Speaker 17: days before.
24:05
Speaker 2: I'm not talking about the president. I agree. I just
24:07
Speaker 2: said the president has to do that. John Katzmatidis has
24:11
Speaker 2: to do that. Sid Rosenberg doesn't.
24:13
Speaker 1: But you're asking if the president can get anything done
24:16
Speaker 1: in the last two years.
24:17
Speaker 2: I don't think he can anyway.
24:18
Speaker 1: He already did the Israel thing.
24:19
Speaker 17: That's what would nod to the Democrats because he saw
24:21
Speaker 17: what was coming.
24:22
Speaker 2: That sucked. I mean, it was so bad to hear
24:24
Speaker 2: El Sayed yesterday. agreeing with President Trump, oh, Mr. President,
24:30
Speaker 2: let me work with you on cutting Israel's balls off.
24:34
Speaker 2: He basically said that, right? That's what he said. I'm
24:38
Speaker 2: so happy America wants to cut off aid to Israel.
24:41
Speaker 2: They've been talking about this for years. Nobody cares. The
24:45
Speaker 2: truth is, we give Israel $ 3. 8 billion. That's not a
24:50
Speaker 2: lot of money. And $ 3. 4 of that $ 3. 8 billion never
24:56
Speaker 2: leaves America. They take that money and they buy American defense.
25:03
Speaker 2: So at the end of the day, there's no money there.
25:06
Speaker 2: There's no real money. So to hear El-Sayed say, oh,
25:10
Speaker 2: I can't work with the president on cutting Israel's balls off,
25:14
Speaker 2: that makes you happy?
25:15
Speaker 17: No, I'm just saying I think that was clearly a
25:18
Speaker 17: move to say I'm ready to work with you because
25:20
Speaker 17: he saw what was coming.
25:21
Speaker 1: He knew it was going to be bad on Election Day.
25:24
Speaker 17: And so then if he can do that, say, hey,
25:25
Speaker 17: I worked with you on Israel, and then let's work
25:27
Speaker 17: together on lowering inflation, consumer costs. maybe come up with
25:31
Speaker 17: some new trade tariffs or lower those trade tariffs.
25:34
Speaker 1: They could work together. Now, whether that happens or not,
25:37
Speaker 1: that might be completely nonsense. It won't happen.
25:40
Speaker 17: But there is room for the president to make some
25:43
Speaker 17: moves and work with the Democrats.
25:45
Speaker 2: He's going to have to. You're right. But the question becomes,
25:49
Speaker 2: are Stephen A. Smith and Charlemagne the God right? He's
25:54
Speaker 2: a two black guys, Democrats, who said yesterday they expect
25:58
Speaker 2: the Democrats to go off the rails. And they also
26:02
Speaker 2: say that's why a Democrat will not be president in 2028.
26:08
Speaker 2: Because if the Democrats all of a sudden become people, people,
26:13
Speaker 2: and work with the president, like people are saying, let's
26:16
Speaker 2: make it all work out. If they do that, then
26:19
Speaker 2: they've got a very good chance, I think you'd admit this,
26:22
Speaker 2: of winning the presidency.
26:24
Speaker 5: Yeah.
26:24
Speaker 2: And holding on to all three, the House, the Senate,
26:28
Speaker 2: and the presidency. But I have not spoken to anybody.
26:31
Speaker 2: even democrats that are confident the democrats or capable of
26:36
Speaker 2: doing that uh.
26:39
Speaker 17: i don't believe it'll happen that way i'm just talking
26:41
Speaker 17: about what a pipe dream would be right the president
26:44
Speaker 17: were to be successful he'd have to work with the
26:47
Speaker 17: democrats and they'd have to work together now the president
26:50
Speaker 17: could easily spend the next two years talking about statues.
26:52
Speaker 1: As arch and uh.
26:54
Speaker 17: middle redoing the White House ballroom, and then we'll get
26:57
Speaker 17: nothing out of him, right? And the Democrats could spend
27:00
Speaker 17: the whole time, waste the capital they earned on going
27:03
Speaker 17: after him and trying to impeach him. Neither of those
27:06
Speaker 17: things are what Americans want. They just want things more
27:08
Speaker 17: affordable and life.
27:09
Speaker 2: To be easier.
27:10
Speaker 1: Now, so they could work together, whether they will or not,
27:13
Speaker 1: I doubt it.
27:13
Speaker 5: Right.
27:14
Speaker 2: I think they're going to start to impeach everybody. I
27:16
Speaker 2: really do. In fact, here is the Secretary of War.
27:20
Speaker 2: who's come under a lot of fire. Joe Takapino critiques
27:22
Speaker 2: this guy every week on this show. I'm sure he'll
27:24
Speaker 2: do it again today. Donald Trump yesterday, again, showing Pete
27:30
Speaker 2: Hegseth some serious loyalty. But Hegseth says, they're going to
27:35
Speaker 2: try to impeach me. They're coming after me. This is
27:38
Speaker 2: Pete Hegseth, cut number six.
27:41
Speaker 18: This is not about me. But of course, the other side,
27:45
Speaker 18: in case you've noticed, they're obsessed. A disgruntled defeated Congressman
27:50
Speaker 18: along with all his Democrat allies has also dropped sham
27:55
Speaker 18: articles of impeachment against yours truly. Just like they tried
27:59
Speaker 18: against president Trump twice. You see their policies don't work.
28:04
Speaker 18: So their obsession with political theater disguised as power drives
28:09
Speaker 18: them to try.
28:09
Speaker 16: To destroy their opponents.
28:11
Speaker 2: It's all about the politics of personal destruction.
28:15
Speaker 18: Didn't work against president Trump. and it won't work with me.
28:18
Speaker 18: You can rest assured of that. To the troops, don't blink,
28:25
Speaker 18: ignore the noise, never hesitate. You see, all this is politics.
28:30
Speaker 18: You do real things, so stay the course. And as always,
28:36
Speaker 18: President Trump leads the way. In service of our nation,
28:40
Speaker 18: he has endured more than anyone can fathom. He literally
28:44
Speaker 18: took a bullet for this nation. He shook his fist
28:47
Speaker 18: and said.
28:48
Speaker 5: Fight, fight, fight.
28:51
Speaker 2: That's why the president still loves him. Even though a
28:54
Speaker 2: lot of people are like, what is he doing letting
28:57
Speaker 2: all these great generals go? People like General Donahue, you
29:00
Speaker 2: heard Takapina talk about Donahue on this show for weeks.
29:04
Speaker 2: And Hegseth has let a lot of those guys go.
29:08
Speaker 2: You hear it every week on this show, Noam. Week
29:11
Speaker 2: after week, Hegseth, for some reason, lets somebody else who's
29:16
Speaker 2: widely respected by the Army, the Navy, Marines, Air Force,
29:20
Speaker 2: he lets them go. You know that, no?
29:23
Speaker 17: Yeah, look, the President said he's not going to sack them,
29:27
Speaker 17: but Republicans and Democrats together will sack them.
29:30
Speaker 2: He's not going to last. By the way, the President
29:31
Speaker 2: said he's not going to sack them. But again, I
29:34
Speaker 2: know the truth. That's why you listen to me. The
29:37
Speaker 2: President is entirely responsible ready to sack him. He went
29:42
Speaker 2: to a lot of people the last couple of days,
29:44
Speaker 2: a lot, and took the temperature, took a poll. Now,
29:49
Speaker 2: if you have no intention of sacking somebody, you don't
29:52
Speaker 2: start asking people, what should I do? And the president
29:56
Speaker 2: did that. 1,000%, the president went to many people and
30:01
Speaker 2: asked about Pete Hegseth. Did you know that? I did not. Well,
30:04
Speaker 2: that's a fact. That's a fact. So he's very loyal,
30:08
Speaker 2: and he's not going anywhere. But behind the scenes, President
30:13
Speaker 2: Trump went to a lot of folks and said, what
30:16
Speaker 2: should I do with Hegseth? Okay, that's a fact. The
30:18
Speaker 2: other guy they're talking about impeaching, you know the answer
30:21
Speaker 2: to this one, Noam?
30:22
Speaker 1: Who's that?
30:23
Speaker 7: Elon Musk.
30:23
Speaker 2: Elon Musk. Oh, they want Elon Musk. Here was Ted Cruz,
30:29
Speaker 2: Teddy Politics yesterday about the prosecution, a persecution, I should say,
30:35
Speaker 2: of people like Elon Musk. Ted Cruz, Lewis, cut number one.
30:39
Speaker 4: They will persecute those they perceive to be enemies, especially
30:45
Speaker 4: Elon Musk. And in Washington, they will attack Trump every
30:53
Speaker 4: single day. Constantly. Impeachment, hearings, subpoenas, his family, cabinet members,
31:00
Speaker 4: business leaders, open persecution, and nonstop retaliation. Make no mistake. Nationally,
31:12
Speaker 4: the radicals are in charge.
31:14
Speaker 2: Sounds like me. Doesn't sound to me like a guy
31:16
Speaker 2: who's confident we're going to work together. He says, The
31:19
Speaker 2: lunatics are in charge, and they're going to make the
31:21
Speaker 2: president's life miserable. The president can say whatever he wants.
31:24
Speaker 2: I'll work with Democrats. I call five big Democrats. They're
31:27
Speaker 2: ready to go. All sounds nice. Come January, it's a war.
31:33
Speaker 2: Ted Cruz is right. Sid Rosenberg is right. Okay? Hillary
31:37
Speaker 2: Clinton also talked about... impeaching Elon Musk. She says they
31:43
Speaker 2: got to do it. Hillary Clinton on impeaching Musk. Cut
31:47
Speaker 2: number three.
31:48
Speaker 19: When it comes to what Trump said today, which was
31:52
Speaker 19: he was thinking about pardoning Musk and pardoning other people,
31:58
Speaker 19: he may well do that. But that doesn't mean they
32:01
Speaker 19: can't be called and forced to testify. Because just because
32:05
Speaker 19: they're pardoned for something, unclear what, does not remove the
32:10
Speaker 19: obligation to respond to a subpoena in the Congress.
32:14
Speaker 1: And in fact, some.
32:16
Speaker 19: Legal experts argue that if you're pardoned, then you have
32:21
Speaker 19: no protection. You cannot take the Fifth Amendment because you
32:26
Speaker 19: have no jeopardy. So let him pardon Elon, and then
32:30
Speaker 19: let's call him in and figure out what he has
32:33
Speaker 19: to say.
32:33
Speaker 2: Let's call him in. You hear the applause in the background? Oh, yeah,
32:36
Speaker 2: they're ready to work with us. They can't wait. Nice people.
32:40
Speaker 2: They just want to make things better.
32:41
Speaker 5: Right, Lou?
32:43
Speaker 2: Stop it. I mean, you can sound more naive and stupid.
32:47
Speaker 2: You know, I'm never wrong, right, guys? I'm never, ever wrong.
32:51
Speaker 2: I was right about the Iran war. I'm still right
32:53
Speaker 2: about it. I told you guys I loved Midnight Hammer.
32:58
Speaker 2: I loved Operation Epic Fury. And have I not been
33:02
Speaker 2: complaining week after week with people like KT McFarlane for
33:07
Speaker 2: months using what word, Noam? What word have I used
33:11
Speaker 2: time and time again? Stuck.
33:15
Speaker 1: There we go.
33:16
Speaker 16: Okay.
33:17
Speaker 2: Every week was stuck. And we've been that way for
33:19
Speaker 2: four months. And you got Republicans saying, no, we won
33:22
Speaker 2: the war already. So ridiculous. Nobody cares that the Iranian
33:28
Speaker 2: people are starving to death. Nobody cares. All they care
33:32
Speaker 2: about in this country is what my pocketbook looks like.
33:36
Speaker 2: Do you think you're going to pull on the heartstrings
33:39
Speaker 2: of some guy who's working a thousand hours a week
33:43
Speaker 2: in Clarksville, Tennessee, that the Iranian people are not eating?
33:47
Speaker 2: He doesn't care. He cares about his family. This has
33:51
Speaker 2: been a disaster, Iran. I don't care what Scott Besson says.
33:55
Speaker 2: It doesn't matter. Months ago, I said, Trump, hammer him.
34:01
Speaker 2: I did. And I'm right. I'm right. And it hurt us.
34:06
Speaker 2: It hurt us. It's not the only reason. Sorry, J.D.
34:09
Speaker 5: Vance.
34:10
Speaker 2: Truth is, a lot of the foreign policy, whether it's
34:14
Speaker 2: Iran or Israel, was not the reason why we lost.
34:17
Speaker 2: It was prices at home. Now, you can attribute some
34:21
Speaker 2: of that to Iran, and that goes back to what
34:24
Speaker 2: President Trump should have done, which I begged him to
34:27
Speaker 2: do four months ago. So, Kevin McCarthy comes out yesterday,
34:34
Speaker 2: the former Speaker of the House. He's on box business,
34:37
Speaker 2: and he says, let me tell you something. What happened Tuesday,
34:41
Speaker 2: as bad as it looks, it's even worse. It's even worse.
34:45
Speaker 2: This is Kevin McCarthy, the former speaker, saying we couldn't
34:50
Speaker 2: even win a gubernatorial position. Cut number two.
34:54
Speaker 1: So how do Republicans come back from this in 2028?
34:57
Speaker 13: Well, people have to analyze. This is much deeper than
35:00
Speaker 13: anyone thinks. It's not just the House and the Senate.
35:03
Speaker 13: It's governorships. For the first time since 2010, the Democrats
35:06
Speaker 13: now control the majority of the governorships. And when you
35:09
Speaker 13: run for president in 28, they control all.
35:12
Speaker 16: The swing states.
35:13
Speaker 5: This is extraordinary.
35:14
Speaker 13: Ohio and Texas Democrats, they have the governorship, and now
35:19
Speaker 13: they have the senators as well. So they have statewide
35:21
Speaker 13: organizations put as a disadvantage. And state houses, seven state
35:25
Speaker 13: houses flipped to Democrat from Republican in this election. The
35:30
Speaker 13: Speaker of the House of Indiana lost his election.
35:34
Speaker 5: This went very deep.
35:35
Speaker 13: It's going to take time to build back, and Republicans
35:38
Speaker 13: are really going to have to focus on policy.
35:40
Speaker 2: And fight. You got to keep fighting. Don't just relent and, oh,
35:43
Speaker 2: we'll work with them. We love them. Fight harder than ever.
35:47
Speaker 2: Talking about the Ohio governorship, Ron DeSantis, our best governor
35:53
Speaker 2: in the country, down in Florida. He talked about what
35:56
Speaker 2: happened there, and he was not exactly very complimentary to
36:01
Speaker 2: Vivek Ramaswamy. In fact, the Santas kicked Vivek's ass. Here's Ronnie,
36:07
Speaker 2: cut number five. So it's a big difference.
36:09
Speaker 16: Ohio governor.
36:11
Speaker 2: I mean, how bad did they beat Vivek like a drum?
36:15
Speaker 20: Now, part of that was Vivek, quite frankly. I don't
36:17
Speaker 20: know why they would have pushed him to be the
36:20
Speaker 20: candidate there.
36:23
Speaker 16: My mom's from Youngstown.
36:25
Speaker 20: Ohio is a working class state, very blue collar. You know, Vivek,
36:31
Speaker 20: he's like a tech guy. He did this Alzheimer's drug
36:34
Speaker 20: and he wants to bring in people, foreign worker on visas.
36:37
Speaker 20: That is not the type of person that's going to sell.
36:40
Speaker 20: And I know he shot himself in the foot. I
36:42
Speaker 20: know he did a lot of other stuff to make
36:44
Speaker 20: it a real landslide against him. But even with that,
36:47
Speaker 20: it's like, you know, you got to meet the voters
36:49
Speaker 20: where they are on some of this stuff. I think
36:51
Speaker 20: we would have done better in Ohio had we had
36:54
Speaker 20: a candidate that was more representative or more in tune
36:58
Speaker 20: with with the interest of kind of these blue-collar people
37:01
Speaker 20: that make the backbone of Ohio. But they got blown
37:04
Speaker 20: out there.
37:05
Speaker 2: And Ron wasn't done there because so many people now
37:08
Speaker 2: are talking about DeSantis running for president. You saw yesterday, Kalshi,
37:14
Speaker 2: talking about the betting markets and the market, Kalshi, all
37:18
Speaker 2: of a sudden, went nuts, the numbers went sky high,
37:23
Speaker 2: that the current Secretary of State, my friend of 17 years,
37:28
Speaker 2: Marco Rubio, is about to resign and start his 2028
37:34
Speaker 2: presidential run. Marco and his team came out and they
37:40
Speaker 2: denied it right away. Not true, fake news, fake news.
37:43
Speaker 2: I'm not sure it's fake news, Noam. What do you think?
37:46
Speaker 1: I think he's interested.
37:47
Speaker 17: If everybody's talking about you running and that you'd be
37:50
Speaker 17: a great candidate, I would think that would be enough
37:52
Speaker 17: for you to say, let me investigate this.
37:54
Speaker 2: I agree with you 100%, so I don't think it's
37:56
Speaker 2: fake news. He may not do it today, tomorrow, next week,
37:58
Speaker 2: or next month, but I think eventually Marco Rubio will run.
38:01
Speaker 2: Either way, Ron DeSantis on running said, after Tuesday, I
38:05
Speaker 2: don't know. Ron DeSantis, cut number four.
38:09
Speaker 20: So it's a big difference between Texas, which that was
38:12
Speaker 20: a potential extinction event there because they got swept out
38:16
Speaker 20: of everything from governor to the Supreme Court and even
38:20
Speaker 20: the House of Representatives. That is going to do damage,
38:23
Speaker 20: not just in Texas. It's going to hurt the Republican
38:26
Speaker 20: Party going forward. And if we can't win in places
38:29
Speaker 20: like Texas or Kansas or Iowa, you know, we are
38:33
Speaker 20: not viable nationally.
38:34
Speaker 2: Can't argue that either. One more for the folks that
38:37
Speaker 2: are looking forward for Republicans working with Democrats, okay? Just
38:40
Speaker 2: listen carefully to some of these cuts. Here's El Sayed
38:44
Speaker 2: in Michigan. Took him no time to rip both Trump
38:48
Speaker 2: and Vance. I'm okay with ripping Vance. I rip Vance
38:50
Speaker 2: every day. But he ripped both of them. They did
38:53
Speaker 2: get really nuclear on Vance. He called them a coward.
38:57
Speaker 2: But listen to our new senator from Michigan. Cut number eight.
39:02
Speaker 2: Abdul El-Sayed. Take out the president and the vice president.
39:07
Speaker 2: Cut number eight.
39:08
Speaker 7: In his role as vice president, if he's interested in
39:11
Speaker 7: advancing things that are going to get money out of politics,
39:13
Speaker 7: put money in pockets, pass Medicare for all, I'm looking
39:15
Speaker 7: forward to working together. He is the vice president. Donald
39:18
Speaker 7: Trump is the president. I'll work with anybody to serve
39:21
Speaker 7: the people of the state of Michigan. And if they're
39:22
Speaker 7: serious about doing that, let's get some stuff done. In
39:25
Speaker 7: their political roles, in the ways that they behave outside
39:28
Speaker 7: of their actual roles as president and vice president. I
39:31
Speaker 7: find them odious. They've taken this down the path. You
39:33
Speaker 7: see J.D. Vance now. He's sprinting as hard backwards as
39:36
Speaker 7: he can from this. terrible disastrous war in iran i'm
39:39
Speaker 7: like now's not the time my guy who would have
39:40
Speaker 7: been eight months ago you should have spoke up but
39:43
Speaker 7: you never will because of course you have you are
39:45
Speaker 7: a coward who has decided that whatever donald trump says
39:48
Speaker 7: should go until of course donald trump is now a
39:50
Speaker 7: loser at the ballot box and i was trying to
39:52
Speaker 7: find a different way.
39:53
Speaker 2: You see like my wife is allowed to say bad
39:55
Speaker 2: things about me she's allowed because i love her she
39:57
Speaker 2: loves me when somebody else does she gets very upset
40:01
Speaker 2: you know so when i hear a democrat who right
40:04
Speaker 2: now is beating his chest because he won A radical
40:09
Speaker 2: DSA Democrat who called the president a loser there at
40:14
Speaker 2: the ballot box, called the president and the vice president odious,
40:19
Speaker 2: and called Vance a coward. I agree with that, but
40:22
Speaker 2: I can say that because I'm a Republican. He's in
40:26
Speaker 2: my family. When you start hearing Democrats use those type
40:30
Speaker 2: of words on television every night with no pushback, I'm sorry, Noam,
40:36
Speaker 2: that's scary for me.
40:38
Speaker 1: And that's why you stand up.
40:39
Speaker 2: That's why I stand up. Every morning, I am not
40:43
Speaker 2: going to play along nicely. No thank you. We are
40:48
Speaker 2: in the fight for our party. MAGA may be dead.
40:52
Speaker 5: Maybe.
40:53
Speaker 2: But the Republican Party should not be dead. And just
40:56
Speaker 2: playing nicely with these animals who are loving every second,
41:01
Speaker 2: every second of Tuesday night is not going to help
41:05
Speaker 2: rebuild our party. That's how I feel. Okay? What else
41:09
Speaker 2: is going on, Nomi?
41:11
Speaker 1: Well, they had an awful shooting overnight. This is in Colorado,
41:15
Speaker 1: a suburb of Denver, Lakewood, Colorado. Four police officers shot.
41:21
Speaker 17: It seems somebody had been involved in a hit-and-run, and
41:24
Speaker 17: when they caught up with this guy, he turned around
41:26
Speaker 17: and started firing off shots at them, and unfortunately, one.
41:28
Speaker 1: Of these police officers has died. We were watching last night.
41:32
Speaker 2: Oh, no.
41:32
Speaker 17: Yes, they gathered outside the hospital, had one of those
41:35
Speaker 17: solemn processions where they honor... The police officer is there
41:38
Speaker 17: carted out of the hospital. So we don't have a
41:41
Speaker 17: whole lot more details on that just yet, but that
41:43
Speaker 17: came in overnight. And then you saw Karen Bass conceded
41:46
Speaker 17: the race for mayor in Los Angeles, and now they
41:49
Speaker 17: have a DSA just like New York. A Democratic Socialist
41:52
Speaker 17: will be running Los Angeles now. Nathia Rahman will be
41:56
Speaker 17: the next mayor of L.A.
41:57
Speaker 2: That state is a mess. Nathia Rahman is the mayor.
42:00
Speaker 2: Javier Becerra is the governor.
42:03
Speaker 5: It's a mess.
42:03
Speaker 2: It was a mess with Karen Bass and Gavin Newsom.
42:07
Speaker 2: And now it's maybe even worse with the DSA mayor
42:11
Speaker 2: and Becerra as the governor. California, like New York, continues
42:16
Speaker 2: to go backwards.
42:18
Speaker 17: There is a Jewish boycott bike ride that's going to
42:23
Speaker 17: take place in Philadelphia this weekend on Sunday in Rittenhouse,
42:26
Speaker 17: which is a really nice section of Philly.
42:28
Speaker 2: They want to boycott all the Israeli businesses.
42:30
Speaker 17: Well, they're not Israeli businesses, by the way. Let me
42:32
Speaker 17: point out, these are Jewish-owned businesses. Some of them are
42:36
Speaker 17: Israeli that own them. But some of them are not.
42:38
Speaker 17: They're just Jewish store owners. And so this group that
42:42
Speaker 17: is anti-Zionist is calling on people to boycott all Jewish
42:46
Speaker 17: businesses in Philadelphia. So now you have the mayor stepping in,
42:50
Speaker 17: Sherelle Parker, saying that she's going to protect these businesses,
42:52
Speaker 17: but she's also going to protect the right for these
42:55
Speaker 17: people to peacefully protest and express their political views. Now
42:59
Speaker 17: these Jewish store owners are saying, wait a minute, what's
43:01
Speaker 17: going on here? I got nothing to do with Israel policy.
43:05
Speaker 17: I don't live in Israel.
43:06
Speaker 1: I live in Philadelphia. and I'm trying to run a business.
43:10
Speaker 17: One of the guys, he owns this place called Huda
43:12
Speaker 17: on 19th Street, and he says he's going to stay
43:14
Speaker 17: open Sunday because he's not afraid.
43:15
Speaker 14: We should not be allowing in our city for businesses,
43:21
Speaker 14: public businesses, to be harassed and terrorized.
43:24
Speaker 1: Yeah, and some of these people comparing it to what
43:26
Speaker 1: happened in Nazi Germany.
43:28
Speaker 2: Kristallnacht. Yeah, same thing. Break the windows and that was
43:31
Speaker 2: the beginning of.
43:31
Speaker 7: The whole Holocaust.
43:32
Speaker 17: You know, if the Italian government was doing things that
43:36
Speaker 17: people in America didn't like to the Italians, you would
43:38
Speaker 17: not see people protesting outside italian restaurants of course in
43:42
Speaker 17: new york city of course not so the you can
43:44
Speaker 17: only point to one thing when it happens against jewish
43:47
Speaker 17: owned businesses in philadelphia there's nothing.
43:49
Speaker 2: To do is i'm is a middle now but the
43:51
Speaker 2: governor of pennsylvania is a jewel and he just want
43:54
Speaker 2: again Where's Shapiro?
43:56
Speaker 17: No, they've been all over this. The governor made comment.
44:00
Speaker 17: They have the attorney general involved to.
44:02
Speaker 2: Protect these businesses. You know, talking about Israel, it's very
44:05
Speaker 2: confusing what's going on there now. You know, it turns
44:08
Speaker 2: out that Eisenkot, not Bibi, Eisenkot will have the first
44:14
Speaker 2: opportunity to form a new government. I want to talk
44:17
Speaker 2: to my friend Johnny Daniels. Johnny is amazing. You know that, no?
44:21
Speaker 2: So Johnny's going to join us coming up in about
44:24
Speaker 2: nine minutes and explain the whole Israel thing. One more thing.
44:29
Speaker 2: I'm on Team Bruce, okay? I'm taking a nap yesterday.
44:32
Speaker 2: My phone starts to buzz. Book me up. I was annoyed.
44:35
Speaker 2: George Santos, Frank Morano, Jennifer Harrison, a tweet from Ina Vernikov,
44:42
Speaker 2: all of them defending Elise Stefanik. Guys, You are way
44:47
Speaker 2: off on this one. Way off. Elise Stefanik, okay, is
44:51
Speaker 2: not all that popular amongst people in Congress. I know this.
44:56
Speaker 2: You don't. She's not.
44:58
Speaker 5: All right?
44:58
Speaker 2: That's first of all. Second of all, I was very
45:01
Speaker 2: nice to Elise. Kept putting her on the show. I
45:04
Speaker 2: did one interview. I brought up abortion, pro-life. You remember this?
45:09
Speaker 2: She got so mad at me. You remember that, Norm?
45:12
Speaker 1: She cut you off, essentially.
45:12
Speaker 2: She cut me off.
45:13
Speaker 5: Yeah.
45:14
Speaker 2: She cut me off.
45:15
Speaker 1: She didn't talk to you after that, right?
45:16
Speaker 2: She has never talked to me since. And then I'm
45:20
Speaker 2: with Bruce Blakeman, and I go to Bruce one day, look,
45:23
Speaker 2: I don't think Elyse likes me. I don't care. We
45:25
Speaker 2: need to win. This is months ago in the Hamptons.
45:28
Speaker 2: I go, Bruce, reach out to Elyse. It'll be great.
45:31
Speaker 2: He says, Sid, I already did. He shows me his phone.
45:35
Speaker 2: He showed me text messages to Elyse Stefanik that were
45:39
Speaker 2: never answered. She did not have even the decency to
45:43
Speaker 2: answer him. So don't tell me that what he did
45:46
Speaker 2: was a bad look. She started it. She said to
45:50
Speaker 2: the New York Post or on TV he was a
45:53
Speaker 2: low-energy candidate. He didn't bring her up. So do you
45:56
Speaker 2: expect that Bruce Blakeman is not going to say anything?
45:59
Speaker 5: No.
46:00
Speaker 2: And the truth is she ignored him. She ignored me.
46:04
Speaker 2: She cut all of us off. And guess what? Nobody
46:08
Speaker 2: made Elise Stefanik exit the race. Some of you morons,
46:12
Speaker 2: her family was threatened. You couldn't sound dumber. Nobody made
46:16
Speaker 2: her leave the race. She got all bitchy and angry,
46:20
Speaker 2: and Trump wouldn't endorse her because Trump loves Blakeman. She
46:24
Speaker 2: took a ball and went home. If she was so
46:26
Speaker 2: courageous like she was, I'll give her that credit, that
46:30
Speaker 2: day on Capitol Hill when she took out all the
46:32
Speaker 2: university presidents, if she was like that every day, she
46:36
Speaker 2: would have primarily Bruce and won. Nobody made her quit
46:39
Speaker 2: the race. Like a little baby, she quit the race.
46:43
Speaker 2: That's what happened to them.
46:44
Speaker 1: Well, remember what happened, right?
46:47
Speaker 17: The president had nominated her to be the ambassador to
46:50
Speaker 17: the U.N.
46:51
Speaker 1: And then he said, no, no, no, we need you
46:53
Speaker 1: in Congress and we can't lose that seat in upstate
46:55
Speaker 1: New York. And the thought was, now whether this is
46:58
Speaker 1: true or not, was that he said, don't worry, I'll
47:00
Speaker 1: support you if you run for governor. And then he
47:03
Speaker 1: did not do that.
47:04
Speaker 2: Well, no, no, what happened then? I think she went
47:06
Speaker 2: to his office, the Oval Office, and called in the marker.
47:10
Speaker 2: actually said, okay, Mr. President, now we need your help.
47:13
Speaker 2: And he was never going to endorse her over Bruce
47:16
Speaker 2: because he's closer with Bruce.
47:17
Speaker 17: Right, but that's what she has been upset from the
47:20
Speaker 17: day that moment that happened.
47:21
Speaker 2: I told you that.
47:22
Speaker 5: Yeah.
47:22
Speaker 2: I told you that. And I do believe that's part
47:24
Speaker 2: of it. But again, what are you mad at Bruce about?
47:27
Speaker 1: No, he shouldn't be taking it out on Bruce. Take
47:29
Speaker 1: it out on the president.
47:30
Speaker 5: Right.
47:31
Speaker 2: Take it out on the president. Or, next time, stay
47:34
Speaker 2: in the race. Primary Bruce Blateman and win. What is
47:38
Speaker 2: Ina Vernikoff talking about?
47:40
Speaker 1: Well, she knew the minute that the president endorsed Blakeman,
47:43
Speaker 1: the money was all.
47:44
Speaker 2: Going to go there. He didn't endorse Blakeman until she
47:47
Speaker 2: quit the race.
47:48
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I think he had signaled that it was going.
47:50
Speaker 2: In that direction.
47:50
Speaker 8: I don't know.
47:51
Speaker 2: I don't know. I think so. Either way, if you're
47:53
Speaker 2: so tough and you're the fighter, you stay in it.
47:57
Speaker 1: But again, her beef should be with the president, not
47:59
Speaker 1: Bruce Blakeman.
48:00
Speaker 2: If that's true.
48:01
Speaker 10: Yeah.
48:01
Speaker 2: I was told that's true. If that's the case, 100%.
48:06
Speaker 2: But Bruce Blakeman didn't do anything. He's allowed to run.
48:09
Speaker 2: Go out there and beat his ass. Primary Bruce, beat him,
48:12
Speaker 2: then run. This idea, like Ina Vernikoff thinks, that everybody
48:16
Speaker 2: should have cleared the floor. No, no, no, it's Elise's job.
48:19
Speaker 2: What are you, nuts? And I'll tell you something else.
48:23
Speaker 2: Elise would have lost, too. I know she's a woman.
48:27
Speaker 2: It makes it easier. I heard that a lot. She
48:30
Speaker 2: would have lost, too. And then what? The point is,
48:34
Speaker 2: to be angry at Bruce makes no sense. You didn't
48:38
Speaker 2: like his campaign? Okay. He didn't follow it then. I
48:41
Speaker 2: thought he did a tremendous job. He was everywhere. Everywhere.
48:46
Speaker 2: And was still doing a great job as a Nassau
48:49
Speaker 2: County executive. But the idea that what did Bruce yesterday,
48:54
Speaker 2: what he did yesterday, was a bad look. He didn't
48:56
Speaker 2: start it. He never brought up Elise Stefanik. But I
49:00
Speaker 2: saw the text messages that were ignored by Elise. She
49:05
Speaker 2: helped nobody. Did you guys hear Elise Stefanik at any
49:10
Speaker 2: point come out and support any Republican candidate? Because I didn't.
49:15
Speaker 2: Did you guys hear that?
49:16
Speaker 5: No.
49:16
Speaker 1: The minute she said she wasn't running again, she checked
49:19
Speaker 1: out completely.
49:19
Speaker 2: She checked out. She's not a team player. Ina Vernikov,
49:24
Speaker 2: Jennifer Harrison. I love you, Frank, but you too. She's
49:27
Speaker 2: not a team player. She completely checked out. How was
49:31
Speaker 2: that Bruce's fault?
49:33
Speaker 10: How?
49:34
Speaker 2: So he's going to join me later on today, and
49:36
Speaker 2: I hope he kicks her ass. I really do. I'm
49:38
Speaker 2: Team Blakeman. What about you, Norman?
49:40
Speaker 17: Yeah, I mean, I'm in agreement that, first of all,
49:44
Speaker 17: no matter who ran for that governor's slot, they were.
49:46
Speaker 8: Going to lose.
49:47
Speaker 2: No matter what. No matter what.
49:49
Speaker 17: The minute somebody in Kansas is going down after 100
49:52
Speaker 17: years of all Republicans, you knew all across the country,
49:55
Speaker 17: Democrats were going to win.
49:56
Speaker 2: I mean, Mike Lawler lost. You think that elites are
49:59
Speaker 2: going to win the gubernatorial race? Are you that stupid?
50:01
Speaker 5: Yeah.
50:02
Speaker 2: But again, she started it, Elise. Bruce didn't say a
50:05
Speaker 2: word about Stepanek. He reached out to Elise. She ignored him.
50:10
Speaker 2: So before you start talking about all these, the minutia
50:14
Speaker 2: of all this, know what you're talking about. None of
50:17
Speaker 2: you do. I do. Bruce will come on at 8.50
50:20
Speaker 2: this morning. It's going to be a wild show today, folks.
50:22
Speaker 2: Trust me. If you love this show, you're going to
50:25
Speaker 2: love today's show. It's a Friday edition of Sid and
50:28
Speaker 2: Friends in the morning. Great job, Norm.
50:31
Speaker 3: Sid and Friends in the Morning on the Red Apple
50:35
Speaker 3: Podcast Network.
50:37
Speaker 2: On a Friday night with my next-door neighbor, who I
50:40
Speaker 2: still love to this day. He lived at 2212 Quentin Road.
50:45
Speaker 2: I lived at 2216 Quentin Road. He now lives on
50:49
Speaker 2: the water in Shrewsbury, New Jersey. I now live on
50:53
Speaker 2: the water, the ocean. in Bell Harbor, Queens, but me
50:57
Speaker 2: and my man Joseph Iovine, for many years, every Friday night,
51:02
Speaker 2: hit the underground. I think it was on 17th and Broadway.
51:06
Speaker 2: That was our club. I did them all. I did,
51:08
Speaker 2: you know, you name it, I did it. Palladium, Bedrocks,
51:12
Speaker 2: a lot of the names I've forgotten already. I went
51:15
Speaker 2: to Long Island. I did Spit and Levittown. I did
51:19
Speaker 2: the other thing, Sprats. I did plenty of that. Uncle Sam's.
51:23
Speaker 2: I did them all. The Brooklyn Clubs, 3rd Avenue, Bay Ridge.
51:28
Speaker 2: I did them all. But the Underground was a big
51:31
Speaker 2: one for us on Friday nights. So I didn't watch
51:34
Speaker 2: this last night. I'm not going to lie. But I
51:38
Speaker 2: did see the New York Post this morning give it
51:42
Speaker 2: a glowing critique. Glowing. But then I got a text
51:47
Speaker 2: from a buddy this morning saying, he'll remain nameless, who
51:51
Speaker 2: said this person should keep their day job. Now, this
51:57
Speaker 2: person in their day job happens to be one of
52:02
Speaker 2: the greatest basketball players in the world and may, when
52:06
Speaker 2: it's all said and done, turn out to be the
52:08
Speaker 2: greatest New York Knick that ever played. This person is
52:13
Speaker 2: fresh off a 33-point performance against in a 30-point win
52:18
Speaker 2: over the Chicago Bulls two nights ago. Who am I
52:21
Speaker 2: talking about, Noam?
52:23
Speaker 1: That would be the basketball star from the Knicks.
52:26
Speaker 5: Yes.
52:28
Speaker 2: Boy, you are a big sports guy. No wonder Chris
52:31
Speaker 2: Oliveros is all over you. It is amazing.
52:33
Speaker 1: He would stop calling me already.
52:35
Speaker 2: Jalen Brunson.
52:35
Speaker 1: Jalen Brunson, that's it.
52:36
Speaker 2: So Brunson, see, I never knew this, okay? I love
52:40
Speaker 2: Mariska Hargaday. Is that how you say her name? I
52:42
Speaker 2: love her. I really do. I think she's a wonderful actress.
52:46
Speaker 2: She's great on Law & Order. Not good, great, you know?
52:49
Speaker 2: And I think she's a good person. But I never
52:52
Speaker 2: knew until the title run last year that Mariska was
52:56
Speaker 2: this diehard Knicks fan. Like, something tells me, if I
53:00
Speaker 2: sit down with Mariska and I go, Hey, Mari, baby,
53:04
Speaker 2: can you tell me what years Dwayne Scales played for
53:07
Speaker 2: the Knicks? Can you tell me whether it's true or
53:10
Speaker 2: not that Eddie Lee Wilkins had less than 10 assists
53:14
Speaker 2: in one season? She'll look at me like I got
53:16
Speaker 2: three heads. I love all these, like the mayor, that retard.
53:20
Speaker 2: He knows nothing about the Knicks. Somebody wrote him a
53:23
Speaker 2: speech that he read which pissed off Jim Dolan at
53:26
Speaker 2: the parade. He knows nothing. Somebody tells me Mariska's the
53:29
Speaker 2: same person, but I love her. I really do love her.
53:32
Speaker 2: So she loves the Knicks. So she made sure that
53:37
Speaker 2: Jalen Brunson... has a role on Law & Order. And
53:42
Speaker 2: I think he even played her boyfriend last night. Is
53:46
Speaker 2: that right?
53:46
Speaker 1: Oh, I didn't see the episode.
53:48
Speaker 2: I think so.
53:48
Speaker 16: And I don't know.
53:49
Speaker 2: I think so. Well, I didn't see it, but I've
53:51
Speaker 2: got the audio. Here is Jalen Brunson, New York Knicks superstar,
53:56
Speaker 2: making his guest appearance on Law & Order with Mariska Hargitay.
54:03
Speaker 2: Detective Madison.
54:05
Speaker 8: Look at you out of uniform.
54:07
Speaker 1: Congratulations on the promotion.
54:09
Speaker 2: Thanks, Captain. Focused on my goals. Gave 110%. Things worked out. Yeah,
54:14
Speaker 2: they did.
54:15
Speaker 1: Well, I was going to buy you lunch, but you
54:17
Speaker 1: seemed good.
54:18
Speaker 2: No, thanks.
54:19
Speaker 21: Reviewed my notes on that collar. Your boy, Rich, real
54:22
Speaker 21: pain in the ass. Blew a. 25 and started yelling
54:25
Speaker 21: at me.
54:25
Speaker 2: Yeah, that tracks.
54:27
Speaker 1: Plus, he had a kid in the car.
54:28
Speaker 10: Teenage boy.
54:29
Speaker 2: She was charged with endangerment.
54:31
Speaker 5: Tyler.
54:32
Speaker 21: Felt bad for the kid at first, but then he
54:34
Speaker 21: started screaming at me as well. Anyway, we searched them.
54:37
Speaker 21: I found a pocket knife and some kind of metal
54:39
Speaker 21: bar thing on the keychain.
54:41
Speaker 1: Did you seize it? Took the knife.
54:44
Speaker 21: The metal bar thing.
54:44
Speaker 2: My partner said let go, so legal gray area.
54:47
Speaker 5: Yeah, right.
54:50
Speaker 4: Thanks, Jay.
54:50
Speaker 7: You're the best.
54:51
Speaker 2: Thank you.
54:53
Speaker 22: Carisi.
54:54
Speaker 7: Yeah, I need a warrant.
54:55
Speaker 2: Carisi. I love that guy. All right, so I saw
54:59
Speaker 2: a gnome smiling for some reason during that. You don't
55:02
Speaker 2: see it, you just.
55:02
Speaker 7: Hear the audio.
55:03
Speaker 1: But he's just walking through that, whatever it is. He's
55:06
Speaker 1: trying to memorize his line. He's terrible on Saturday Night Live,
55:09
Speaker 1: and he's probably terrible in this too.
55:11
Speaker 2: I didn't see it. But he's not an actor. I
55:13
Speaker 2: love him, so.
55:13
Speaker 8: He's not an actor.
55:14
Speaker 2: This person said to me, Sid Jalen Brunson should not
55:18
Speaker 2: quit his day job. He played a detective on Law
55:21
Speaker 2: & Order SVU with his girlfriend, Captain Olivia Benson. Maybe
55:26
Speaker 2: they are related.
55:27
Speaker 10: Ha ha.
55:27
Speaker 2: Have a great show. And I'll leave his name out.
55:30
Speaker 2: So he tends to agree with you that Jalen should
55:33
Speaker 2: just play basketball and calm down. Take it easy.
55:35
Speaker 1: Well, and he's smart.
55:37
Speaker 17: Cash in while you can because this might be the
55:39
Speaker 17: only NBA championship.
55:41
Speaker 1: And so he's taking everything.
55:42
Speaker 2: We've won four out of five.
55:43
Speaker 5: I know.
55:44
Speaker 1: So maybe they'll be back there, but maybe they won't.
55:47
Speaker 2: He looks good. Four out of five, baby. 0-3 start.
55:50
Speaker 2: Four out of five. It's a huge sports week, and
55:52
Speaker 2: the Giants are back. They were off last week. They've
55:55
Speaker 2: actually increased their lead atop the NFC East. Very exciting.
55:58
Speaker 2: And they got a game coming up this weekend against
56:01
Speaker 2: the Eagles in Philly, and the Giants are going to
56:04
Speaker 2: beat them. I'm telling you, the Giants are going to
56:06
Speaker 2: beat them. The Jets, they're in Kansas City. But college
56:10
Speaker 2: football tomorrow, Miami-Notre Dame. Yeah, that's a good game. You

57:56
Speaker 8: Today, I can tell you it's still a mess.
57:58
Speaker 2: There's more to this story than we know.
58:00
Speaker 15: Leave it on.
58:04
Speaker 2: All right, folks, it is time for the 77 WABC minicast.

58:21
Speaker 2: every day's, is from Katz and Cosby. Here my man
58:24
Speaker 2: John Katzimatidis and Rita Cosby speak with Kimberly Strassel about
58:29
Speaker 2: the involvement of Decoy Dan at the Alaska... election.
58:34
Speaker 24: This is all very murky still, and we've got a
58:36
Speaker 24: long way to go on this investigation.
58:38
Speaker 10: But one thing I do.
58:39
Speaker 24: Know all is that what is pretty clear is that
58:44
Speaker 24: his presence on this ballot, the number of votes that
58:48
Speaker 24: he has received, Decoy Dan has received, And I did
58:52
Speaker 24: the math here. It's it is significantly more than the
58:57
Speaker 24: amount of ballots that separate Mary Peltola and the real
59:00
Speaker 24: Dan Sullivan. So his presence on the ballot has made
59:03
Speaker 24: a difference.
59:06
Speaker 1: WABC traffic in transit.
59:08
Speaker 25: From the Apple bank traffic desk. Boy, what a mess
59:11
Speaker 25: down the Jersey shore. But first though, on the cross Bronx,
59:13
Speaker 25: on the Westbound side, bumper to bumper traffic. Now the
59:16
Speaker 25: whole way from the Bruckner interchange over to the George
59:18
Speaker 25: Washington bridge, There's a disabled tractor trailer outbound. The two
59:22
Speaker 25: right lanes are going to be out of service. And again,
59:24
Speaker 25: that's going to be on the lower level. And that
59:26
Speaker 25: now has just been pulled off the bridge. So all
59:29
Speaker 25: lanes are open, but still pretty much bumper to bumper
59:31
Speaker 25: from the Bruckner all the way on over to the
59:33
Speaker 25: Major Deegan. Now, if you're on the Deegan northbound 149th Street,
59:36
Speaker 25: a stalled truck there. We also have problems on the
59:39
Speaker 25: BQE southbound coming down to Metropolitan Avenue with a stalled
59:43
Speaker 25: vehicle in the right lane. Over in New Jersey, it
59:45
Speaker 25: is a mess with all this rain that has been falling.
59:48
Speaker 25: You do have accidents all over. There's one now on
59:50
Speaker 25: the Turnpike on the northbound inner roadway right by 13.
59:54
Speaker 25: If you're heading out onto the Garden State Parkway up
59:56
Speaker 25: at exit 157, there's an accident also on the Jersey Turnpike. Now,
1:00:00
Speaker 25: these are just coming in one by one, one right
1:00:02
Speaker 25: after the other. On the Turnpike northbound right around Interchange 6,
1:00:06
Speaker 25: Garden State Parkway northbound at 81, also northbound in the
1:00:10
Speaker 25: local lanes at 116. and then southbound at 89. And

Speaker 2: He's at a mass grave site in Poland. I have
1:03:11
Speaker 2: no idea what he's doing there. No idea. All he
1:03:13
Speaker 2: said was, I'm caught up. Can we do Monday? I said, sure,
1:03:16
Speaker 2: we'll do Monday. Because I do need somebody to explain
1:03:19
Speaker 2: to me why Eisencott gets to pick his government before Bibi.
1:03:24
Speaker 2: No one in the United States has any idea what
1:03:26
Speaker 2: they're talking about. Jesse Waters last night talking about the
1:03:30
Speaker 2: Israel-United States aid situation. was embarrassing. So we'll talk to
1:03:35
Speaker 2: Johnny Daniels come Monday. Got a lot of great guests
1:03:38
Speaker 2: throughout today's program. Five great guests about to come your way.
1:03:43
Speaker 2: We're going to shine the spotlight on Bruce Blakeman. A
1:03:47
Speaker 2: little ugliness back and forth yesterday. Started by Elise DePonic,
1:03:52
Speaker 2: not Bruce. Bruce did end it, but I think he's
1:03:56
Speaker 2: going to restart it today at 8.50 on this program.
1:03:59
Speaker 2: So don't go anywhere. The Friday edition of Sid and
1:04:03
Speaker 2: Friends in the Morning.
1:04:05
Speaker 3: Sid and Friends in the Morning on the Red Apple
1:04:08
Speaker 3: Podcast Network.
1:04:10
Speaker 2: Gene invited me into the New York Stock Exchange. It
1:04:13
Speaker 2: was a lovely experience and thank you for that. So
1:04:16
Speaker 2: join me next. But did you guys see this column?
1:04:19
Speaker 2: And I like Ed Cox. I know Bo Dietl hates
1:04:21
Speaker 2: him and other Republicans hate him. I like him. He's
1:04:23
Speaker 2: a nice man. He's a nice man. I like him.
1:04:26
Speaker 2: But An honest conversation, the Republican Party has gotten their
1:04:32
Speaker 2: asses kicked for years in this state.
1:04:36
Speaker 5: Years.
1:04:37
Speaker 2: We suck. And when you have candidates like Curtis Sliwa,
1:04:42
Speaker 2: a complete clown running for office, what do you expect? So,
1:04:47
Speaker 2: I get the criticism. I like him. I like him
1:04:50
Speaker 2: a lot. Nice man. But the criticism is fair. So
1:04:56
Speaker 2: now the Republicans want him out. That's what I'm hearing.
1:05:00
Speaker 2: It's in the New York Post today, too. They want
1:05:02
Speaker 2: him out. Do you know the name of the person
1:05:06
Speaker 2: they are using the most to replace Ed Cox? Want
1:05:11
Speaker 2: to take a guess, Noam?
1:05:12
Speaker 8: Sid Rosenberg.
1:05:13
Speaker 5: No.
1:05:14
Speaker 2: Although that would be a great idea.
1:05:16
Speaker 16: That's always a good guess.
1:05:17
Speaker 7: Yes.
1:05:18
Speaker 5: Always. I.
1:05:20
Speaker 2: Kind of lead the Republican Party in this state anyway.
1:05:24
Speaker 2: Let's be honest. Every candidate wants to be with me.
1:05:28
Speaker 2: Every one of them. But it's not me. Want to
1:05:30
Speaker 2: take a guess, Justin?
1:05:33
Speaker 8: Well, I heard.
1:05:34
Speaker 2: You know, don't say anything. You already know? Yeah, I
1:05:36
Speaker 2: already know.
1:05:37
Speaker 10: Okay.
1:05:37
Speaker 2: You know too, Lou?
1:05:39
Speaker 16: Yeah, I sit next to Justin.
1:05:40
Speaker 2: So, Noam, I'll give you a hint.
1:05:43
Speaker 1: Jalen Brunson.
1:05:43
Speaker 11: No.
1:05:44
Speaker 2: Why not, right? He just lost on Tuesday night.
1:05:47
Speaker 1: Bruce Blakeman.
1:05:48
Speaker 5: No.
1:05:49
Speaker 13: Oh.
1:05:50
Speaker 7: Mike Lawler.
1:05:51
Speaker 5: Yes.
1:05:51
Speaker 2: Yes.
1:05:52
Speaker 16: Wow, that's a good idea.
1:05:54
Speaker 2: Not a bad idea. I like that idea. I don't
1:05:56
Speaker 2: know what the job pays, but I'd love to see
1:05:59
Speaker 2: Mike lead the Republicans.
1:06:01
Speaker 16: That is, like, made for him.
1:06:02
Speaker 2: I already texted Mike this morning. I said, if you
1:06:04
Speaker 2: do this, I'll run.
1:06:06
Speaker 16: He is, like, the biggest fighter.
1:06:08
Speaker 2: He's great.
1:06:09
Speaker 5: Of course.
1:06:10
Speaker 16: That's perfect.
1:06:11
Speaker 2: Well, I don't know if he's said anything about it yet,
1:06:13
Speaker 2: Mike specifically, but that seems to be the name bandied about,
1:06:16
Speaker 2: Mike Lawler. Yeah, I would... I would sign up for
1:06:20
Speaker 2: that today. Today. All right, let me take a break.
1:06:22
Speaker 2: Are you kidding?
1:06:23
Speaker 5: Yeah.
1:06:24
Speaker 2: No disrespect, Eddie. I like Eddie. Nice guy. Great guy.
1:06:27
Speaker 2: But we're getting our asses kicked all the time. The
1:06:29
Speaker 2: candidates suck for the most part. Not every candidate. Bruce
1:06:32
Speaker 2: is great. Mike's great. But a lot of our candidates
1:06:35
Speaker 2: really suck. Really suck. No charisma. No excitement. No enthusiasm.
1:06:41
Speaker 2: They just spew out all the policies like you see
1:06:44
Speaker 2: on Fox News. No thanks. So Mike Lawler could be
1:06:48
Speaker 2: that guy.
1:06:49
Speaker 16: There's only one of him, man. That's it.
1:06:51
Speaker 5: Yeah.
1:06:51
Speaker 2: No, listen, you know how much I love him, too.
1:06:53
Speaker 2: I agree. All right, we'll take a break. We will
1:06:55
Speaker 2: talk Wall Street. What an awful day in the market yesterday. Why?
1:07:00
Speaker 2: And I was there with Nicole Petalitas. Nicole, coming up
1:07:06
Speaker 2: next on... Oh, my God.
1:07:07
Speaker 16: My job's done, maybe, finally.
1:07:10
Speaker 3: Sid and Friends in the Morning on the Red Apple
1:07:13
Speaker 3: Podcast Network.
1:07:15
Speaker 2: In 25 years... Since I did a show with Imus
1:07:20
Speaker 2: and Dick Grasso was in charge. And I walk by
1:07:22
Speaker 2: every day and every day somebody stops me. One of
1:07:25
Speaker 2: these guys who works there said, we love you. Come in.
1:07:28
Speaker 2: So I text my friend, Nicole Petalitas, who's great. She goes,
1:07:32
Speaker 2: I'm here. Come on in. And the next thing you know,
1:07:35
Speaker 2: she takes me on a 30 minute tour of the
1:07:38
Speaker 2: stock exchange. She was lovely and sweet. And the guys
1:07:40
Speaker 2: were great. And in the backdrop of all this was
1:07:44
Speaker 2: a terrible day for the markets.
1:07:47
Speaker 5: Terrible.
1:07:47
Speaker 2: NASDAQ down, S & P down, Dow Jones down almost 2,000 points.
1:07:54
Speaker 2: So I wanted to bring Nicole on this morning for
1:07:56
Speaker 2: two reasons. A, to tell us what the hell is
1:07:59
Speaker 2: going on, and B, to thank her for being such
1:08:02
Speaker 2: a gracious host. Nicole, good morning, sweetheart.
1:08:05
Speaker 7: How are you?
1:08:06
Speaker 10: Good morning, Sid. I mean, you know, sometimes when someone
1:08:09
Speaker 10: comes in the day, there's a real down day. They say, please,
1:08:12
Speaker 10: please don't come back. Don't come back. But I'm kidding.
1:08:16
Speaker 10: You had been to come on one of the worst days.
1:08:18
Speaker 2: It was the.
1:08:19
Speaker 10: Worst day for stocks in a year and a half
1:08:22
Speaker 10: for the S & P, the worst since the pandemic
1:08:24
Speaker 10: for the Nasdaq. We're in bear market territory, meaning we're
1:08:28
Speaker 10: 20 percent off the highs for the Nasdaq. So it
1:08:32
Speaker 10: really was a you know, big madness, chaos. You know,
1:08:38
Speaker 10: we had upswing the day after the elections, right? We
1:08:41
Speaker 10: were up 1500 points on the Dow Jones industrial average,
1:08:44
Speaker 10: and then we were down 1800 points yesterday. So these
1:08:47
Speaker 10: are massive swings and you got to witness some of that.
1:08:51
Speaker 2: It was awesome. And, you know, even though it was
1:08:53
Speaker 2: a depressing day in the market, I never would have
1:08:56
Speaker 2: known because I think you'd have to agree. I'm pretty popular.
1:09:00
Speaker 2: in that place. And every time you walk me by
1:09:02
Speaker 2: one of your friends, they went nuts.
1:09:04
Speaker 10: I agree. You got a lot of friends and fans
1:09:07
Speaker 10: down here. And look, I mean, what we're seeing yesterday
1:09:11
Speaker 10: was an opportunity. So it does feel sort of you know,
1:09:14
Speaker 10: downtrodden when you have a down day like that. But
1:09:17
Speaker 10: that's the day that kind of presents opportunity. I mean,
1:09:21
Speaker 10: the guys love volatility. In fact, they were scooping it up.
1:09:24
Speaker 10: I had my friend Stephen Orr say, I'm buying with
1:09:27
Speaker 10: both hands. I'm going to sleep tonight. I bought Qualcomm NVIDIA.
1:09:30
Speaker 10: Jay Woods was there. He just played his clip. He
1:09:33
Speaker 10: was talking about Micron and NVIDIA. There are people who
1:09:36
Speaker 10: step in and buy on days like yesterday. So they
1:09:39
Speaker 10: needed a bit of a washout. people were expecting some selling,
1:09:43
Speaker 10: but it's hard to stomach because certain stocks in one
1:09:46
Speaker 10: day were down 10, 15, 20%. And if that's your money,
1:09:51
Speaker 10: I mean, yesterday I saw Sandisk down 20%, Seagate was
1:09:55
Speaker 10: down 15%, Irene was down 16%. This is during the day,
1:09:59
Speaker 10: Taiwan Semi, Dell was down 13%. So if you are
1:10:04
Speaker 10: too concentrated in In one stock, this is why we
1:10:07
Speaker 10: always use the word diversification. I know it sounds so boring.
1:10:10
Speaker 10: Boring is good. You cannot be all in one thing,
1:10:14
Speaker 10: cannot have all your eggs in one basket. And so
1:10:17
Speaker 10: this is why they say diversification, because if you were
1:10:19
Speaker 10: in those, you really got hit hard. If you were
1:10:21
Speaker 10: in other things, I mean, the Dow for the week
1:10:23
Speaker 10: is down a half a percent, right? That doesn't sound
1:10:26
Speaker 10: like a big deal at all.
1:10:27
Speaker 5: No.
1:10:27
Speaker 10: But, you know, the Nasdaq down 6%. And so this week.
1:10:31
Speaker 10: So it's tough. It's tough to stomach these kinds of days.
1:10:35
Speaker 2: I think the funniest part for me yesterday, though, even
1:10:37
Speaker 2: though it was a tragic day in the market, was
1:10:40
Speaker 2: when I exited the stock exchange. And I see these people, Nicole,
1:10:43
Speaker 2: on the street every day as I walk towards the
1:10:45
Speaker 2: ferry on Wall Street. There's like three or four TV
1:10:48
Speaker 2: shows out there, all these young, attractive girls. And they
1:10:51
Speaker 2: started calling me over one by one. The first girl
1:10:54
Speaker 2: calls me over. She's in a green dress. She's got
1:10:56
Speaker 2: the cameraman right in front of her. And the first
1:10:59
Speaker 2: thing she says to me is, so how old were
1:11:01
Speaker 2: you when you made your first million dollars? And I said,
1:11:06
Speaker 2: I'll let you know when I do. But then she
1:11:10
Speaker 2: started asking me about stock tips, and you had said
1:11:13
Speaker 2: something to me about an hour before, and I said,
1:11:15
Speaker 2: five below five. How about that?
1:11:19
Speaker 10: You're so funny. I'll tell you, inside the place, everybody
1:11:23
Speaker 10: knew who you were, and you had a lot of fans,
1:11:25
Speaker 10: and you were right. People were taking pictures with you, and,
1:11:28
Speaker 10: you know, there's some great, great guys down here. They've
1:11:31
Speaker 10: been down here for decades, you know, from Brooklyn, from Chicago,
1:11:34
Speaker 10: Staten Island, from Westchester. I mean, this has been... You're
1:11:38
Speaker 10: in the iconic financial capital of the world. You were
1:11:41
Speaker 10: outside by the Buttonwood tree where they had the Buttonwood Agreement, right?
1:11:45
Speaker 10: You're inside. This is a fortress. It is the most
1:11:48
Speaker 10: special place you cannot get in unless you know somebody
1:11:51
Speaker 10: on the inside, right? So it's an... Unbelievable, priceless experience.
1:11:55
Speaker 10: And by the way, I want your son Gabriel to come.
1:11:57
Speaker 10: I heard he was interested.
1:11:58
Speaker 5: Oh, yes.
1:11:59
Speaker 10: We're going to have him visit.
1:12:00
Speaker 2: Thank you for that.
1:12:01
Speaker 10: And happy birthday for that. And Danielle and your family,
1:12:03
Speaker 10: of course. And great marathon for her. But I'll tell you, outside,
1:12:07
Speaker 10: you really crack me up how you're out there trying
1:12:09
Speaker 10: to give some financial advice. The five below comment, first
1:12:13
Speaker 10: of all, it's not below five, it's five below. That
1:12:15
Speaker 10: came from my friend Erin Gibbs from SlateStone. And she
1:12:19
Speaker 10: came on yesterday to talk about something other than tech.
1:12:23
Speaker 5: Right.
1:12:23
Speaker 10: And so she was talking about Abercrombie and Fitch and Eat,
1:12:26
Speaker 10: which is Brinker. They own Chili's and she had Five Below.
1:12:30
Speaker 10: She had Hasbro. And some of these stocks are up
1:12:32
Speaker 10: 30 percent this year while nobody's looking. These are up
1:12:35
Speaker 10: 30 percent. So that's the point. Sometimes they were down
1:12:39
Speaker 10: the year before. And so that's how ultimately you do it.
1:12:42
Speaker 10: I love also that you were mentioning some of the greats.
1:12:45
Speaker 10: that I've worked with. I've been here since the mid-90s
1:12:48
Speaker 10: from Dow Jones when I worked with Martha McCallum, whom
1:12:51
Speaker 10: I adore. She was an anchor on Dow Jones and
1:12:54
Speaker 10: Maria Bartiromo, obviously a great mentor when I was at CNBC.
1:13:00
Speaker 10: So it's been an incredible- And Roger Ailes.
1:13:03
Speaker 2: You started right there with Roger Ailes.
1:13:05
Speaker 10: I launched Fox Business. I was the first voice on
1:13:08
Speaker 10: Fox Business. I said, welcome to the new Fox Business Network.
1:13:11
Speaker 10: I was anchoring there at 1211 6th Avenue. Roger came in,
1:13:15
Speaker 10: gave us a few inspirational words before we started the show.
1:13:18
Speaker 10: The whole world was watching, and it was exciting. And
1:13:20
Speaker 10: I used to anchor in the morning and come down
1:13:22
Speaker 10: here during the day. So it's been an incredible run.
1:13:26
Speaker 10: But a day like yesterday.
1:13:27
Speaker 5: It's tough.
1:13:28
Speaker 10: Why is the selling happening? I'm sure people are interested.
1:13:31
Speaker 10: The concern is that the AI build-out has been so fast,
1:13:36
Speaker 10: so furious, and that with the Democratic blue wave, that
1:13:40
Speaker 10: it will have over-regulation and it will slow down or
1:13:43
Speaker 10: be more expensive. And the truth of the matter is, look,
1:13:47
Speaker 10: it was running maybe too fast. We've had so many
1:13:50
Speaker 10: great years over the last 10 years for stocks, so
1:13:53
Speaker 10: you can't cry in your soup this morning or your
1:13:56
Speaker 10: cereal or whatever. But it just means it may slow
1:13:59
Speaker 10: down a little bit. But Elon Musk has created hundreds
1:14:02
Speaker 10: of thousands of jobs. The train has left the station
1:14:05
Speaker 10: when it comes to the data centers. The economic growth
1:14:07
Speaker 10: is evident. The build-out is huge. And so I think
1:14:11
Speaker 10: that the president and House and Senate will work together
1:14:15
Speaker 10: to continue to move this forward. That's based on what
1:14:17
Speaker 10: I'm hearing from the guys that I speak with. They
1:14:20
Speaker 10: still think that we'll still have the growth that we'll see.
1:14:23
Speaker 10: Maybe it'll be a little different, but... It's not the
1:14:26
Speaker 10: concern about the demand. The demand is there. It's just
1:14:30
Speaker 10: that how we will handle the supply, how it will
1:14:33
Speaker 10: all happen. And so the big picture, Ed Yardeni, who's
1:14:37
Speaker 10: a great, well-respected guy on Wall Street, he has a
1:14:40
Speaker 10: higher target for the end of the year on the
1:14:42
Speaker 10: S & P 7,900. He has 8,400 for the middle
1:14:44
Speaker 10: of next year, 10,000 for the S & P by
1:14:48
Speaker 10: the end of the decade. A friend of mine, James Demert,
1:14:50
Speaker 10: has 100,000 on the Dow Jones Industrial Average by the
1:14:54
Speaker 10: year 2030. Yeah.
1:14:56
Speaker 5: Wow.
1:14:56
Speaker 2: Even if the Democrats take the White House?
1:15:00
Speaker 5: You know what?
1:15:00
Speaker 10: This is not the first time you're going to have,
1:15:03
Speaker 10: you know, sort of a lame. You know, also the
1:15:05
Speaker 10: market likes some uncertainty because things slow down a little bit.
1:15:08
Speaker 10: But because you have, you know, Republican at the top
1:15:11
Speaker 10: and then you have a Democratic Congress. So sometimes the
1:15:14
Speaker 10: market likes they've now taken away the uncertainty on what's what.
1:15:18
Speaker 10: It's OK, because it's been like that. You know, this
1:15:20
Speaker 10: is not the first year or the last year that
1:15:22
Speaker 10: you're going to have battling things. Right. Just look at
1:15:27
Speaker 10: look at what the Dow has done for 10 years,
1:15:29
Speaker 10: 20 years, 30 years.
1:15:31
Speaker 2: Even with Biden, even with Biden, it was going up
1:15:33
Speaker 2: for for most of his day. I would ask you this.
1:15:36
Speaker 2: What has happened to NVIDIA over the last couple of months?
1:15:40
Speaker 2: Why is that in the 40s?
1:15:42
Speaker 10: Well, NVIDIA definitely, I was just looking at NVIDIA, right?
1:15:45
Speaker 10: So NVIDIA now one year is down about eight and
1:15:48
Speaker 10: a half percent. So it has sold off. And part
1:15:51
Speaker 10: of it has just been the movement of money to
1:15:54
Speaker 10: other parts, right? We think of NVIDIA as this big
1:15:57
Speaker 10: chip name. And so people were taking money out and
1:15:59
Speaker 10: going to some of the other high flyers like Nebius
1:16:02
Speaker 10: and CoreWeave and Iren and whatever. But NVIDIA is a
1:16:06
Speaker 10: great long-term company. Dan Ives actually picked some names for after,
1:16:13
Speaker 10: After the Dem sweep, he has NVIDIA on his picks
1:16:16
Speaker 10: as one of the long-term growth names. I mean, three
1:16:18
Speaker 10: years ago, this was $ 44. Okay, so I know people
1:16:22
Speaker 10: loved it at $ 240, but at $ 188, you still made
1:16:26
Speaker 10: a lot of money for $ 44.
1:16:27
Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, a lot of money, yes.
1:16:29
Speaker 10: NVIDIA is really number one. It is really.
1:16:33
Speaker 10: It's whole centric. It has its own stack. It's something special.
1:16:37
Speaker 10: And so most of the guests who come on, you
1:16:39
Speaker 10: just heard two of them yesterday that I just quoted.
1:16:41
Speaker 10: They both picked NVIDIA for the long term and then
1:16:44
Speaker 10: also in DNI. So that's three right there.
1:16:46
Speaker 2: Right there.
1:16:46
Speaker 5: Yeah.
1:16:47
Speaker 10: You know, I don't talk politics and I don't give recommendations.
1:16:51
Speaker 10: My job is to stay really neutral and listen a
1:16:54
Speaker 10: lot and then get it all back out in a
1:16:57
Speaker 10: succinct manner.
1:16:59
Speaker 2: Your job is to make money for your clients, which
1:17:01
Speaker 2: you do at Schwab.
1:17:01
Speaker 10: You've got to make money.
1:17:02
Speaker 7: That's it.
1:17:03
Speaker 10: I don't have clients, but Schwab has clients, and Schwab
1:17:06
Speaker 10: does an incredible job. You have to have diversification. You
1:17:09
Speaker 10: don't want to have concentration risk. And I cannot believe
1:17:12
Speaker 10: you're not in the stock market. Is that what you
1:17:13
Speaker 10: said earlier?
1:17:14
Speaker 2: I don't make enough money to do that. You need
1:17:16
Speaker 2: a lot of money to be in the stock market.
1:17:18
Speaker 10: Listen, you can put $ 100 in compounded interest.
1:17:22
Speaker 2: You want to know something? I'll tell you a funny
1:17:24
Speaker 2: story quickly because you've got other guests coming up. So
1:17:26
Speaker 2: my son comes down yesterday. He's going to be 18
1:17:28
Speaker 2: November 24th. He's a kid, 17 years old. Him and
1:17:32
Speaker 2: my wife, Danielle, are in the market. They got this,
1:17:34
Speaker 2: you know, the round robin. What do you call this thing?
1:17:36
Speaker 2: The red robin, Robin Hood. So my son comes down.
1:17:40
Speaker 2: He goes, Daddy, you went to the market without me.
1:17:42
Speaker 2: I said, don't worry, I'll take it. He goes, you know, Daddy,
1:17:45
Speaker 2: I'm making money today. I go, what do you mean
1:17:47
Speaker 2: you're making money today? The market's getting clobbered.
1:17:49
Speaker 5: He goes, Dad.
1:17:50
Speaker 2: I woke up this morning. I sold everything short. He
1:17:53
Speaker 2: shows me. He was actually up $ 324 for the day.
1:17:59
Speaker 2: Everybody's getting killed. Gabe Rosenberg got up at 17 years
1:18:03
Speaker 2: old and sold short.
1:18:05
Speaker 10: Yeah, and he made money because we sold all day long.
1:18:08
Speaker 10: And so you bet that it's going to go down.
1:18:10
Speaker 10: And then, well, you know, it's a bet, right? I
1:18:12
Speaker 10: don't know how else to say, you know, you buy
1:18:14
Speaker 10: or you sell is the proper way to say it, right?
1:18:16
Speaker 10: It's not gambling, it's proper trades. But yeah, he did well.
1:18:20
Speaker 10: That's a good move there. So he knew it was
1:18:22
Speaker 10: going down. He knew. He knew, yes. And that's part
1:18:25
Speaker 10: of it too. Whether you're a day trader or a
1:18:28
Speaker 10: long-term investor, I mean, there's different strategies. People were in gold.
1:18:32
Speaker 10: They love gold, but gold has sold off, but it's
1:18:34
Speaker 10: known as a safe haven. So people at some point
1:18:37
Speaker 10: are going to, they sold some gold because they had
1:18:39
Speaker 10: to cover some of the losses yesterday, right? But over
1:18:42
Speaker 10: the long-term, gold is of great play. You also had
1:18:45
Speaker 10: people who are interested in crypto. They're waiting for 100,000
1:18:48
Speaker 10: on Bitcoins. The Clarity Act is going to come back now.
1:18:52
Speaker 10: It's a bipartisan story. So maybe in January we might
1:18:56
Speaker 10: have the Clarity Act. We might see Bitcoin go back up.
1:18:59
Speaker 5: So it's a.
1:18:59
Speaker 10: Day-to-day action, but you've got to be in it for
1:19:02
Speaker 10: the long... You've got to be in it.
1:19:03
Speaker 5: To win it.
1:19:04
Speaker 10: You've got to be in it for the long term.
1:19:07
Speaker 2: In the final 60 seconds, how has the market changed?
1:19:11
Speaker 2: The market on a daily basis working down at the
1:19:14
Speaker 2: New York Stock Exchange. How has that changed since we've
1:19:18
Speaker 2: got a market now in Dallas, other parts of the country?
1:19:22
Speaker 2: have their own Wall Street. How has that changed the
1:19:26
Speaker 2: New York experience?
1:19:28
Speaker 10: New York is still the financial capital of the world.
1:19:30
Speaker 10: We set the prices in the morning and the evening.
1:19:32
Speaker 10: The opening, closing bell are very busy. But yeah, there
1:19:36
Speaker 10: used to be thousands of people down here. And now
1:19:39
Speaker 10: you see there's hundreds and we're using computers. So it's
1:19:42
Speaker 10: a really good mix of computers and the human element, right?
1:19:46
Speaker 10: And so that's what's so beautiful about the New York
1:19:49
Speaker 10: Stock Exchange. But yeah, people can trade in a lot
1:19:51
Speaker 10: of different places and they have the opportunity to do that.
1:19:54
Speaker 10: But this is still the place where in the world.
1:19:57
Speaker 10: NASDAQ's pretty great, too. And we have the Texas exchanges,
1:20:01
Speaker 10: the Miami exchange. I mean, there's exchanges all over the world.
1:20:03
Speaker 10: But this is still where George Washington was outside, went
1:20:08
Speaker 10: for the revolution, gave his first speech in his inauguration.
1:20:11
Speaker 10: Francis Tavern's down the block. I mean, this is the
1:20:14
Speaker 10: iconic place, not only for the building structure, but also
1:20:17
Speaker 10: how many shares and millions and billions have traded over
1:20:21
Speaker 10: the many years. I mean, this is still the place.
1:20:24
Speaker 10: But yes, the trading volume has dropped and the floor
1:20:28
Speaker 10: is less busy. But everybody's here because in the middle
1:20:30
Speaker 10: of the day, a stock can move higher or move
1:20:33
Speaker 10: lower or an IPO or news pending. And so it
1:20:36
Speaker 10: can be extremely busy on any given day. And that's
1:20:38
Speaker 10: what really makes us so excited. By the way, I
1:20:40
Speaker 10: want to give a great shout out to my dear family, friends,
1:20:46
Speaker 10: John and Margo Casamadidis, of course, Chad and Emily, whom
1:20:49
Speaker 10: I love, and Lou and Dominic, your whole team there
1:20:53
Speaker 10: at WABC Radio, whom I adore. I'm glad to be
1:20:57
Speaker 10: on with you today, Sid. Thank you for having me.
1:20:59
Speaker 2: You've got to do this more often.
1:21:01
Speaker 10: I've got to tell you, You know what? People who bought,
1:21:04
Speaker 10: he told you yesterday, Jay Woods said, buy the SMH.
1:21:07
Speaker 10: Those semiconductors, excuse me, are up about 4% right now.
1:21:12
Speaker 2: So if you bought.
1:21:13
Speaker 10: Yesterday, you're already making 4%. Sid, you know what? You
1:21:16
Speaker 10: really got to invest.
1:21:17
Speaker 2: The money for the long term. I will meet you
1:21:19
Speaker 2: for lunch this week, and we will have that conversation, okay?
1:21:22
Speaker 2: Sound good?
1:21:22
Speaker 10: You'll have to come back to the stock exchange.
1:21:24
Speaker 2: I can't wait. You're great.
1:21:25
Speaker 10: Come by anytime.
1:21:26
Speaker 2: You're great, Nicole.
1:21:27
Speaker 10: Great to hear all of you. Have a super day.
1:21:29
Speaker 5: You too.
1:21:29
Speaker 10: Thanks for the great songs always.
1:21:31
Speaker 2: We love you, too. Have a great weekend. Go get them. You, too.
1:21:34
Speaker 2: We love you, too.
1:21:34
Speaker 7: Let me know when you.
1:21:35
Speaker 10: Make the first million.
1:21:36
Speaker 5: Bye.
1:21:37
Speaker 16: Hope you're still alive when that happens.
1:21:39
Speaker 2: Yeah, me, too. She's so great, isn't she? Nicole Petalita.
1:21:42
Speaker 2: She really is amazing. She walks that floor. She's the
1:21:46
Speaker 2: queen of the stock exchange. That's it. She is the
1:21:49
Speaker 2: queen of the stock exchange. Nicole does a great job.
1:21:52
Speaker 2: We'll take a short break. We'll come back. Sid and
1:21:55
Speaker 2: Friends in the.
1:21:56
Speaker 3: Morning on the Red Apple Podcast Network.
1:22:00
Speaker 2: Yeah, because I remember I was on with Imus from
1:22:03
Speaker 2: my den in Boca Raton. Remember, I was doing those
1:22:07
Speaker 2: little hits because I was coming up to do the
1:22:11
Speaker 2: midday show with Bernard. So Imus was bringing me on.
1:22:14
Speaker 2: And Glenn Frey died. And I think David Bowie died.
1:22:20
Speaker 2: That's right.
1:22:20
Speaker 16: I was just going to say.
1:22:21
Speaker 5: Right?
1:22:22
Speaker 16: Yeah, I think they were a few weeks apart.
1:22:24
Speaker 2: A few weeks apart. And then that April, Prince died.
1:22:28
Speaker 2: And I think Tom Petty died that year, too. It
1:22:31
Speaker 2: was terrible.
1:22:31
Speaker 16: Yeah, they were both 66, if I remember.
1:22:34
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, yes. All right, no more KT McFarlane. She
1:22:37
Speaker 2: didn't pick up. So we're going to take a break
1:22:40
Speaker 2: because we've got three more, at least three more amazing
1:22:43
Speaker 2: guests to come. Bill O'Reilly, usually here on Thursdays. He'll
1:22:47
Speaker 2: be here today. Joseph Takapina, he'll be here today. And
1:22:51
Speaker 2: the one everybody's waiting for, Bruce Blakeman. The war of
1:22:56
Speaker 2: words yesterday with Elise Stefanik. I'm on Team Bruce. I
1:23:01
Speaker 2: know the real Elise. I know what happened during the
1:23:05
Speaker 2: whole race. She offered no help, no support, nothing. She
1:23:11
Speaker 2: cut him off, and she cut me off. That's the
1:23:15
Speaker 2: God's honest truth. I'm on Team Bruce. O'Reilly, Blakeman, Takapina,
1:23:20
Speaker 2: maybe one more. Friday edition of Sitting Friends in the Morning.
1:23:25
Speaker 12: Sid and Friends.
1:23:26
Speaker 3: In the Morning on the Red Apple Podcast Network.
1:23:31
Speaker 2: Javier Becerra, we'll see. California's a mess. New York's a mess.
1:23:35
Speaker 2: I don't care how many nice things President Trump says
1:23:38
Speaker 2: about Mom Donnie. I love Trump. Trump loves me. But
1:23:41
Speaker 2: I can't stand it when he says nice things about
1:23:44
Speaker 2: Mom Donnie. I hate it. I've told him that. He
1:23:47
Speaker 2: doesn't care, of course. But I hate it. He did
1:23:49
Speaker 2: it again yesterday. New York's a mess with Mom Donnie
1:23:53
Speaker 2: as the mayor. And Hochul winning again as the governor.
1:23:57
Speaker 2: Hochul wins. She beat my friend Bruce Blakeman. I don't
1:24:01
Speaker 2: care how many of you text me that he ran
1:24:04
Speaker 2: a bad campaign. I really don't care what you think.
1:24:07
Speaker 2: I like you. In certain cases, I love you. But
1:24:10
Speaker 2: I don't care what you think. You don't know any
1:24:13
Speaker 2: more about this business than I do. He did not
1:24:15
Speaker 2: run a bad campaign. Not at all. In fact, he
1:24:18
Speaker 2: did a masterful job of continuing... to run the safest
1:24:22
Speaker 2: county in America, Nassau County, while getting everywhere around the state.
1:24:28
Speaker 2: But Bruce wasn't going to beat her. And guess what?
1:24:31
Speaker 2: Neither was Elise Stefanik or anybody else. It's become increasingly clear.
1:24:37
Speaker 2: Republicans can't win here. It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter.
1:24:42
Speaker 2: It has nothing to do with Bruce Blakeman, you dumb bastards.
1:24:46
Speaker 2: You think Elise would have won? If you do, you're stupid.
1:24:50
Speaker 2: You're stupid. Stop texting me. Nonsense. That's why when my
1:24:57
Speaker 2: phone blows up every show, my phone all morning long
1:25:00
Speaker 2: gets about a thousand texts during the show. People want
1:25:04
Speaker 2: to discuss every story. You know what the story, the
1:25:09
Speaker 2: biggest story texting on my phone this morning is? The
1:25:13
Speaker 2: possible replacement of Ed Cox. And again, I'm not Bo Dietl.
1:25:19
Speaker 2: I like Eddie. He's a nice guy. He means well.
1:25:23
Speaker 2: But the truth is, the Republican Party has been getting
1:25:27
Speaker 2: killed for years in this state.
1:25:30
Speaker 5: Killed.
1:25:31
Speaker 2: And a lot of our candidates suck. I don't know
1:25:35
Speaker 2: who vets them, who interviews them. I don't know. But
1:25:39
Speaker 2: we need to be better. So now the rumor is,
1:25:42
Speaker 2: my dear friend, who I was with on Tuesday night
1:25:44
Speaker 2: to the very end, He made me cry. So did
1:25:47
Speaker 2: his mom. So did his wife. My dear friend Mike Lawler,
1:25:50
Speaker 2: the New York Post is reporting, may be the guy
1:25:53
Speaker 2: to replace him. I haven't spoken to Mike yet. I
1:25:55
Speaker 2: texted him. He'll text me back. But I'd love for
1:25:59
Speaker 2: him to do it. I think he'd be a great choice.
1:26:02
Speaker 2: I'd love to see Mike Lawler. And then you get
1:26:03
Speaker 2: you morons on Twitter. He's not even a Republican. He's
1:26:07
Speaker 2: all about amnesty. He's a rhino. He's a Democrat. No,
1:26:11
Speaker 2: you're an asshole. Mike would be great for the job.
1:26:14
Speaker 2: You like that, Lewis? Isn't that great?
1:26:17
Speaker 16: That sounds like a good argument.
1:26:18
Speaker 2: That's why I'm number one. You're an asshole. That's why
1:26:21
Speaker 2: I'm number one, Lou. Trust me. Just trust me. So
1:26:24
Speaker 2: Lawler would be great. I know this. Something needs to change.
1:26:29
Speaker 2: You can't keep getting your ass kicked if Ed Cox, again, sweetheart,
1:26:34
Speaker 2: was a football coach. You can't come back if they're
1:26:37
Speaker 2: going 4-13 every season. They're going to fire Aaron Glenn,
1:26:42
Speaker 2: the Jets, after two years. A lot of football coaches
1:26:45
Speaker 2: get fired after one year. Well, New York is 3-14
1:26:51
Speaker 2: every year. We are one of the worst teams in
1:26:54
Speaker 2: the league every year. It's enough. I want to help.
1:26:59
Speaker 2: I think I know what talent is. In fact, I
1:27:02
Speaker 2: know I do. But I got a job here. I
1:27:05
Speaker 2: can't do it all day, every day. I want to
1:27:07
Speaker 2: do more. I think if the Republican Party was smart,
1:27:10
Speaker 2: they would ask me to do more. Tony Nunziata, Ed Cox,
1:27:15
Speaker 2: any one of these guys. They should be talking to
1:27:17
Speaker 2: me every day. I know every candidate. Every Republican candidate
1:27:22
Speaker 2: knows me. Some love me. Some like me. Some hate me.
1:27:25
Speaker 2: It doesn't matter. They want to be here. Ten texted
1:27:30
Speaker 2: me already this morning. Ten different Republicans texted me.
1:27:35
Speaker 13: Me.
1:27:35
Speaker 5: Okay?
1:27:37
Speaker 2: Don't tell me I don't know what's going on. I
1:27:39
Speaker 2: know what's going on. We need a change. So if
1:27:42
Speaker 2: it's Lawler, oh, my God, that would be amazing.
1:27:45
Speaker 16: How can you argue? That is a great idea.
1:27:48
Speaker 2: Great idea.
1:27:50
Speaker 16: Mike Lawler, if you know anything about Mike Lawler, it's
1:27:54
Speaker 16: a perfect pick.
1:27:55
Speaker 2: I agree. And I got news for you.
1:27:56
Speaker 16: Smart and he's a fire.
1:27:57
Speaker 2: Yes, the Brooklyn GOP, Janine checking in, Aquafina. The Brooklyn GOP,
1:28:04
Speaker 2: another problem. They're killed in Brooklyn. got killed. So I
1:28:09
Speaker 2: don't know why it's okay. Like I said, the best analogies,
1:28:12
Speaker 2: a sports coach, you put together a couple of losing seasons,
1:28:17
Speaker 2: you get fired. The Republican party in New York doesn't matter.
1:28:21
Speaker 2: Keep coming back. Keep coming back. No, no, no. I
1:28:26
Speaker 2: don't want to play with the Democrats. I don't want
1:28:28
Speaker 2: to play nice. I asked John to take me out
1:28:32
Speaker 2: of the picture yesterday in the New York Post. I
1:28:34
Speaker 2: don't want to play nice because they're not capable of
1:28:37
Speaker 2: doing it. And I don't need to. I'm not a
1:28:40
Speaker 2: politician or a businessman. I am a biased, one-party guy, Republican,
1:28:48
Speaker 2: MAGA Republican. That may be dead. I don't know. But
1:28:51
Speaker 2: I don't want to start playing nice with Democrats. I
1:28:54
Speaker 2: want to get better Republicans. I want to start winning.
1:28:58
Speaker 2: Start winning. Putting people out there that inspire people. Not
1:29:04
Speaker 2: just go over the same stupid talking points I hear
1:29:07
Speaker 2: on Fox News. Well, we got to make it more
1:29:10
Speaker 2: affordable and we got to get more police officers. Oh, God,
1:29:13
Speaker 2: shut up. Give me something. Get me excited. Do something nuts.
1:29:19
Speaker 2: Take your clothes off. I don't care. Do something nuts.
1:29:22
Speaker 2: We don't have that.
1:29:24
Speaker 16: I think they're waiting for you to do that.
1:29:25
Speaker 2: I know.
1:29:26
Speaker 16: That sounds like a good idea.
1:29:27
Speaker 2: There's just so much I can do, Lewis. I got
1:29:29
Speaker 2: to tell you.
1:29:29
Speaker 16: Well, you can take your clothes off then.
1:29:31
Speaker 2: Well, nobody wants to see that. Who the hell wants
1:29:33
Speaker 2: to see that?
1:29:35
Speaker 16: Well, for present company included.
1:29:37
Speaker 2: It's true. You are funny. But I'm being serious. We
1:29:41
Speaker 2: need to take this seriously. It's not a matter of
1:29:45
Speaker 2: let's just join their team. No thanks. They've got the same...
1:29:52
Speaker 2: Lunatic policies they had on Monday. Their policies didn't get
1:29:56
Speaker 2: better on Wednesday morning because they won Tuesday night. They're lunatics.
1:30:04
Speaker 2: So come on. Let's fight. Remember when President Trump got
1:30:09
Speaker 2: shot and was bleeding and got up on his feet
1:30:13
Speaker 2: and pumped his fist and said, fight, fight, fight? Well, Republicans,
1:30:20
Speaker 2: it's enough being losers. Let's fight, fight, fight. I've had enough.
1:30:27
Speaker 2: Bill O'Reilly is next.
1:30:29
Speaker 3: Sid and friends in the morning on the Red Apple
1:30:32
Speaker 3: Podcast Network.

1:31:21
Speaker 2: every week. I love this guy. The best ever, my
1:31:24
Speaker 2: friend Bill O'Reilly. Bill, what the hell happened on Tuesday night?
1:31:29
Speaker 5: Well, let's get specific, because you've been covering this for,
1:31:33
Speaker 5: this is the third day. I have all the data
1:31:37
Speaker 5: for you. So I said, do a special workup. for Rosenberg.
1:31:44
Speaker 2: I figured you did.
1:31:45
Speaker 5: What would you like to know? And I will tell you.
1:31:49
Speaker 2: Well, listen, we saw J.D. Vance's ridiculous tweet where he
1:31:52
Speaker 2: found a way to blame Iran and Israel, which, you know, well, listen,
1:31:56
Speaker 2: part of the Iran stuff is true. That's part of
1:31:58
Speaker 2: the affordability crisis. But the truth is, most people in
1:32:01
Speaker 2: the polls that I saw thought that foreign policy, 4%
1:32:04
Speaker 2: thought foreign policy was was the big issue. The bigger
1:32:07
Speaker 2: issue was affordability at home and, you know, those types
1:32:11
Speaker 2: of things. So what was it, do you really think,
1:32:13
Speaker 2: what was it that killed us on Tuesday? For me,
1:32:17
Speaker 2: I know exactly what it was. I'm not as smart
1:32:19
Speaker 2: as you, but I know exactly what it was. It
1:32:21
Speaker 2: was Trump. I love Trump. I still love Trump. Guess what, America?
1:32:26
Speaker 2: Not so much. Democrats hate him and Republicans are starting
1:32:30
Speaker 2: to hate him. That was it. To me, one word, Trump.
1:32:34
Speaker 2: What about Bill O'Reilly?
1:32:37
Speaker 5: The exit polls say that 40% of the people that
1:32:42
Speaker 5: voted against the Republicans on Tuesday were angry, angry that
1:32:53
Speaker 5: they are paying more for the essentials of life when
1:32:57
Speaker 5: that's not what President Trump promised when he was reelected
1:33:03
Speaker 5: two years ago. It is simply amazing. that Donald Trump
1:33:08
Speaker 5: got 77 million votes, a record, all right, because people
1:33:15
Speaker 5: were angry about Joe Biden, one of the worst presidents
1:33:20
Speaker 5: in history, second worst, okay? And so they were angry
1:33:25
Speaker 5: at the Democrats, and they voted Trump back. So Trump
1:33:29
Speaker 5: comes in, and everything's going pretty well. I mean, his vision,
1:33:34
Speaker 5: he's executing his vision. And then the Iran thing comes up. Now,
1:33:40
Speaker 5: it wasn't the Iran war. Americans aren't sympathetic to the mullahs.
1:33:46
Speaker 5: They don't even know where Iran is. If you gave
1:33:48
Speaker 5: them a blank map, they'd X Miami Beach. They don't
1:33:54
Speaker 5: know where Iran is. They don't know the Persian culture.
1:33:57
Speaker 5: And I'm not saying it to be mean or supercilious
1:34:00
Speaker 5: or anything like that. They just don't know. They do know.
1:34:05
Speaker 5: that their utility bills are crazy. Insurance, crazy. Meanwhile, the
1:34:16
Speaker 5: president was not empathetic enough. See, part of politics is showbiz.
1:34:24
Speaker 5: And Trump knows this better than anyone. I mean, he
1:34:27
Speaker 5: got elected on his skill to communicate with Americans one-on-one.
1:34:34
Speaker 5: But in the pricing, there was no empathy by him
1:34:38
Speaker 5: or anybody in the Republican Party. Nobody. I mean, Blakeman
1:34:45
Speaker 5: was probably the best as far as telling people in
1:34:49
Speaker 5: New York, hey, this shouldn't be happening, and I'll fix it.
1:34:55
Speaker 10: But.
1:34:56
Speaker 5: The anger overwhelmed thought, rational thought. And finally, it's like
1:35:03
Speaker 5: you have a two-year-old nephew. And the nephew is adorable.
1:35:09
Speaker 5: And he's running around. Everybody's patting the nephew on the head. And,
1:35:12
Speaker 5: you know, they're Googling. But after eight hours of the nephew,
1:35:18
Speaker 5: you got a bus ticket to Chattanooga.
1:35:21
Speaker 2: You can't wait to get home. Right. That's what they
1:35:23
Speaker 2: say about grandparents. I love the fact I can go home.
1:35:26
Speaker 2: Leave the kid with my kid and get to go home.
1:35:29
Speaker 5: That happened with Donald Trump.
1:35:31
Speaker 2: So are you telling me then, I agree with you,
1:35:34
Speaker 2: but I want you to say it. Are you telling me,
1:35:37
Speaker 2: and again, let me make it very clear before you
1:35:39
Speaker 2: start tweeting that I stabbed Trump in the back. No,
1:35:41
Speaker 2: I still love him. I tweeted right away on Tuesday
1:35:44
Speaker 2: night to put this all on Trump is silly, even
1:35:47
Speaker 2: though I think most people do. I still love him.
1:35:49
Speaker 2: But are you telling me that the United States right
1:35:53
Speaker 2: now has finally gotten to the real Trump fatigue, and
1:35:59
Speaker 2: are you telling me that MAGA may be dead?
1:36:05
Speaker 5: No. If the economy were what it was under Trump once,
1:36:15
Speaker 5: He would have sailed through. The Republicans would have sailed through.
1:36:18
Speaker 2: I agree with you. So don't you have to end.
1:36:22
Speaker 2: Stop this now. J.D. Vance calling out Trump is funny
1:36:24
Speaker 2: because it was J.D.
1:36:26
Speaker 5: But that's a minor.
1:36:27
Speaker 2: No, no, no, but it was his MOU. It was
1:36:30
Speaker 2: his MOU that has this war going on an extra
1:36:33
Speaker 2: three months. Trump, in his heart, wanted to get this
1:36:37
Speaker 2: done with four months ago. Vance and those other clowns,
1:36:41
Speaker 2: they're the ones who are keeping this going. So if
1:36:44
Speaker 2: you're right and he's going to have the economy of
1:36:47
Speaker 2: Trump 1.0, he's got to find a way to end
1:36:50
Speaker 2: this Iran war very quickly.
1:36:54
Speaker 5: Well, it's too late now for his political fortunes. Unfortunately,
1:36:59
Speaker 5: we're going to look at a country in the next
1:37:01
Speaker 5: two years that is going to be in disarray. And
1:37:05
Speaker 5: the state of New York is tottering on the cliff.
1:37:10
Speaker 5: California is never coming back. It's not part of this
1:37:12
Speaker 5: country anymore.
1:37:13
Speaker 2: They're gone.
1:37:14
Speaker 5: Okay? But New York's close. Very, very close.
1:37:20
Speaker 2: I agree.
1:37:21
Speaker 5: And the unintended consequences, look, I don't know, Vance. I
1:37:25
Speaker 5: interviewed him a couple of times. He doesn't, I don't
1:37:31
Speaker 5: think that the vice president sees the world the way
1:37:36
Speaker 5: I see the world. But I'm a fair man. And
1:37:40
Speaker 5: if you're told something, and we don't know what Vance
1:37:44
Speaker 5: was told, okay, by the president, your boss, you have
1:37:48
Speaker 5: to do it. And that's what happened to Pence. So
1:37:51
Speaker 5: Pence got hammered because he certified the election that Trump
1:37:56
Speaker 5: said he didn't lose, that it was cheating. And that
1:37:59
Speaker 5: was the end of Pence. So going forward, I think
1:38:04
Speaker 5: that there is a bit of opportunism here by J.D. Vance,
1:38:08
Speaker 5: and he's starting to signal, oh, yeah, I'm going to run.
1:38:11
Speaker 5: I'm not the same guy Trump is because you guys
1:38:14
Speaker 5: don't like Trump anymore. And I don't like that aspect
1:38:18
Speaker 5: of politics, and I would never do it myself.
1:38:20
Speaker 2: I mean, is that not as– I mean, J.D. Vance
1:38:22
Speaker 2: is a nobody. He wouldn't even win that Ohio Senate
1:38:24
Speaker 2: race without Trump, let alone the guy he is now,
1:38:26
Speaker 2: a multi-millionaire.
1:38:28
Speaker 7: That's so disloyal.
1:38:29
Speaker 5: You have to evaluate. That's what they call a character deficit.
1:38:34
Speaker 5: And they all have them. Every single politician has them.
1:38:38
Speaker 2: Really?
1:38:38
Speaker 5: All right. And you have to evaluate that.
1:38:41
Speaker 2: Wait a second. Hold on, hold on. When you say
1:38:44
Speaker 2: every politician has them, give me one example. It probably exists.
1:38:48
Speaker 2: I'm not going to argue with you. You know this
1:38:49
Speaker 2: game better than I do. But give me one example
1:38:51
Speaker 2: from Marco Rubio. I haven't seen it.
1:38:55
Speaker 5: Well, Rubio's job is different, though. See, Rubio's job is
1:39:01
Speaker 5: to persuade people to do what Trump wants. That's his job.
1:39:07
Speaker 2: Right.
1:39:08
Speaker 5: All right. That's his portfolio, as they say. So you're
1:39:12
Speaker 5: not going to get opinion from Marco Rubio. Look, four
1:39:15
Speaker 5: weeks ago, I was in the Oval Office with the
1:39:18
Speaker 5: Secretary of State and President Trump talking about Iran. And
1:39:23
Speaker 5: President Trump asked me, and I said, you got to
1:39:25
Speaker 5: hit them. I mean, this was way before any midterms
1:39:29
Speaker 5: or anybody, you know, I said, you got to hit them.
1:39:32
Speaker 5: He showed they're being disrespectful.
1:39:35
Speaker 2: Four months ago, he should have done that. That's right.
1:39:38
Speaker 5: And they are putting the United States and the whole
1:39:41
Speaker 5: world in danger. So you have to find a way
1:39:44
Speaker 5: to punish them. And that's going to require some civilian casualties,
1:39:49
Speaker 5: which was the thing that Donald Trump did not want.
1:39:53
Speaker 5: In that meeting, Rubio did not say a blanket word. Okay, now,
1:40:01
Speaker 5: I have a pretty good relationship with Rubio. He didn't
1:40:04
Speaker 5: say a word. Because his job was to carry out
1:40:09
Speaker 5: what President Trump wanted to do. The problem was that
1:40:14
Speaker 5: President Trump does not, to this day, know what he
1:40:19
Speaker 5: wants to do. He changes. And Americans got furious because, again,
1:40:27
Speaker 5: they don't care about the Iranian conflict per se, but
1:40:32
Speaker 5: it was the unintended consequences. And then when you have
1:40:36
Speaker 5: the Republican Party, look at these candidates. Paxson? Terrible. In Texas?
1:40:42
Speaker 2: Terrible.
1:40:43
Speaker 5: And Paxson would have won if not for ICE. All right?
1:40:48
Speaker 5: The Hispanic voters in Texas turned on the Republican Party
1:40:52
Speaker 5: because they didn't like all of the strife in the
1:40:56
Speaker 5: streets with ICE. And that was it. If Trump had
1:41:01
Speaker 5: gotten the same percentage of Hispanic voters in Texas, he
1:41:05
Speaker 5: would have won the state. And each state has its
1:41:08
Speaker 5: own story. Lindsey Graham's sister doesn't know anything.
1:41:12
Speaker 2: Nah, she should be home on Sunday making cookies for
1:41:15
Speaker 2: the neighbor. She's a sweet lady. They had no right
1:41:17
Speaker 2: putting her in that role. That was ridiculous.
1:41:19
Speaker 5: But who put her in the role?
1:41:21
Speaker 2: Listen, I know.
1:41:22
Speaker 5: I know.
1:41:22
Speaker 2: I didn't love her.
1:41:23
Speaker 5: All of these things mounted up. They mounted up and
1:41:29
Speaker 5: they were, when the voter, and I'm talking the non-ideological voter,
1:41:38
Speaker 5: went to the poll, he or she was angry, felt betrayed.
1:41:45
Speaker 5: I didn't sign up for this last time. I didn't
1:41:48
Speaker 5: vote for this. And there are so many millions of
1:41:52
Speaker 5: Americans who live paycheck to paycheck. And when they get
1:41:56
Speaker 5: that utility bill tripled... It's a killer.
1:41:59
Speaker 2: It's a killer. I know.
1:42:00
Speaker 5: So that's what happened. It's not a hard analysis.
1:42:06
Speaker 2: No.
1:42:06
Speaker 5: But the president himself, Trump himself, if you strip out
1:42:13
Speaker 5: all of the ancillary stuff, the personal stuff, his vision
1:42:19
Speaker 5: for the country and the world, I believe, was good.
1:42:25
Speaker 5: It was light years better than Obama's and Biden's. But
1:42:32
Speaker 5: now Americans are going to have to pay a price.
1:42:36
Speaker 5: And that's why I wanted to come on today and
1:42:42
Speaker 5: get ready. All right? Because every single one of us
1:42:47
Speaker 5: are going to pay a price. And the price is
1:42:50
Speaker 5: going to come in two packages. The first package in
1:42:56
Speaker 5: states like New York and probably most other states, your
1:43:01
Speaker 5: taxes are going to rise.
1:43:03
Speaker 2: No, no, no. Kathy Hochul said she wasn't going to
1:43:05
Speaker 2: waste it.
1:43:06
Speaker 5: I'm kidding. She wouldn't sign the paper. Do you realize?
1:43:10
Speaker 5: And then everybody, all my liberal friends go, just taxes
1:43:12
Speaker 5: on the rich. And I look at them and I go,
1:43:15
Speaker 5: you're not that dumb. And this is how I talk
1:43:17
Speaker 5: to my friends. I said, you're not that dumb. Do
1:43:21
Speaker 5: you realize that? that Mamdani has put 2,000 speed cameras
1:43:30
Speaker 5: in New York City. 2,000. That means if you're in
1:43:35
Speaker 5: an automobile, you're being surveilled wherever you go. And those
1:43:41
Speaker 5: cameras bring in $ 100 million to Mamdani's treasury. The money
1:43:49
Speaker 5: is not designated to go anywhere but in his account.
1:43:55
Speaker 2: Aren't those cameras only by schools and places?
1:43:58
Speaker 5: No, they're everywhere.
1:43:59
Speaker 2: Oh, really? I'm kidding, of course. They're everywhere. They put
1:44:02
Speaker 2: a camera by our house, Lou, on 136th Street, which
1:44:07
Speaker 2: is literally by the water. There's nothing there. There's nothing there.
1:44:11
Speaker 2: They put cameras everywhere.
1:44:13
Speaker 5: If you jaywalk and they hit you on a camera,
1:44:17
Speaker 5: that's $ 200. That's a tax. Okay? If you want to
1:44:24
Speaker 5: go and buy anything in New York State, you are
1:44:27
Speaker 5: paying what they call a surcharge. Those are taxes that
1:44:34
Speaker 5: come out of the working people's pockets.
1:44:37
Speaker 2: Congestion pricing is a tax. Let's be honest.
1:44:40
Speaker 5: Of course it is.
1:44:41
Speaker 2: Right.
1:44:43
Speaker 5: So what Mamdani is going to do is amass or
1:44:47
Speaker 5: try to amass, okay, an enormous slush fund to do
1:44:55
Speaker 5: all of these projects to redistribute income from hardworking people,
1:45:02
Speaker 5: all right, to whoever he wants to give it to.
1:45:07
Speaker 5: This is what communism is. You take from the successful
1:45:11
Speaker 5: and the wealthy. But here you go further because there's
1:45:15
Speaker 5: not enough billionaires.
1:45:18
Speaker 2: Because as I said, you know, the definition of rich
1:45:21
Speaker 2: or wealthy. Let me tell you something. I make a
1:45:24
Speaker 2: lot more money than most people in New York. I
1:45:26
Speaker 2: still have paycheck to paycheck. I'm not even close to
1:45:29
Speaker 2: Richard Wealthy. I'm not a seven-figure guy. So I'm going
1:45:32
Speaker 2: to get clobbered here, okay? If I had a billion
1:45:34
Speaker 2: or two in the bank, that's one thing. If I
1:45:36
Speaker 2: had 20 million in the bank, no. I don't make
1:45:38
Speaker 2: seven figures. So they're going to deem me as wealthy,
1:45:41
Speaker 2: and I'm not. I'm going to get clobbered.
1:45:44
Speaker 5: You're going to get hammered for as long as the
1:45:48
Speaker 5: communists are running the show in New York City. And
1:45:53
Speaker 5: Blakeman couldn't get through that curtain.
1:45:57
Speaker 2: Nobody could get through.
1:45:58
Speaker 5: And it's shocking because upstate New York, those people, they
1:46:05
Speaker 5: don't have anything up there, generally speaking. And now you're
1:46:10
Speaker 5: going to have less.
1:46:12
Speaker 2: I know.
1:46:13
Speaker 5: The Democratic Party is not going to help you unless
1:46:19
Speaker 5: you want more food stamps or Or you want to
1:46:22
Speaker 5: live in one of these hobbles that they're going to
1:46:24
Speaker 5: build that are going to be rat infested and nobody's
1:46:28
Speaker 5: going to repair what goes wrong in those places. And
1:46:33
Speaker 5: I'm going, are you kidding me? I mean, you don't
1:46:36
Speaker 5: get it.
1:46:36
Speaker 2: No, listen, I brought up the last two governors, Cuomo
1:46:39
Speaker 2: and Hochul, who promised. to fix those towns, okay? My
1:46:42
Speaker 2: mother lives six miles from Monticello. All you have is Monticello.
1:46:47
Speaker 2: It's a bunch of drug-addled, literally, people with hamper-mouthed teeth,
1:46:52
Speaker 2: high on drugs. There's no jobs. Every store is shut down.
1:46:56
Speaker 2: And I can take that to Binghamton, Rochester, Syracuse, Rome, Kingston,
1:47:03
Speaker 2: all these towns. Cuomo did nothing. Hochul's done less. And
1:47:07
Speaker 2: Blakeman still couldn't win. And I don't hear about a
1:47:09
Speaker 2: least of panic, okay? You sound like an idiot, okay? Ridiculous, right.
1:47:14
Speaker 2: Thank you very much. Thank you. Thank you. The truth is,
1:47:17
Speaker 2: we can't win here right now. I don't know what
1:47:20
Speaker 2: the problem is, Bruce. I almost called you. Bill, Republicans,
1:47:24
Speaker 2: we can't win here right now. Bottom line.
1:47:26
Speaker 5: Blakeman's major problem, he had two problems. Number one, he
1:47:32
Speaker 5: couldn't get well-known enough. Because people don't watch television anymore,
1:47:37
Speaker 5: and that's where most of the advertising is. So you're
1:47:40
Speaker 5: running these spots, and nobody's watching them unless you're 95
1:47:44
Speaker 5: and don't know how to turn on your cell phone. Okay?
1:47:48
Speaker 5: And then Blakeman was tied into Trump. And that was
1:47:52
Speaker 5: enormous in New York. Enormous. That's why he didn't perform
1:47:55
Speaker 5: as well as Zellner.
1:47:56
Speaker 2: Listen, you know what I said to Mike Lawler yesterday?
1:47:58
Speaker 2: He came on. He did his first interview with me
1:48:00
Speaker 2: since he lost. And I said to him, I said,
1:48:03
Speaker 2: if given the opportunity all over again, because he had
1:48:05
Speaker 2: that first rally before Blakeman and he had Trump there,
1:48:08
Speaker 2: the big one with me and Jackson, remember Jackson talking
1:48:10
Speaker 2: to the trouble. I said, if you were to do
1:48:12
Speaker 2: it again, would you bring president Trump back to Rockland County?
1:48:16
Speaker 2: I actually asked him that knowing that he loves Trump
1:48:18
Speaker 2: and I love Trump. And he said, he would. But,
1:48:21
Speaker 2: you know, Trump was attached to him, too. And you're
1:48:24
Speaker 2: telling me in the end it hurt those guys.
1:48:26
Speaker 5: Not as much as Blake.
1:48:28
Speaker 2: No, 100 percent. You're right. Yes.
1:48:29
Speaker 5: You know, and but these guys were caught. All right.
1:48:34
Speaker 5: They were caught because Trump was helping them. in the
1:48:39
Speaker 5: primaries and raise money, and Trump is helping them. So
1:48:45
Speaker 5: it's hard to be disrespectful. I mean, you're a weasel
1:48:49
Speaker 5: if somebody's helping you, and then you turn on them.
1:48:51
Speaker 2: Not just somebody. He's a president of the United States.
1:48:54
Speaker 5: Yeah. And now going forward, in addition to pain, Although
1:49:04
Speaker 5: I think the economy, the consumer-driven economy, is going to
1:49:07
Speaker 5: be all right. But again, it's not going to help
1:49:10
Speaker 5: the week-by-week paycheck people. It's not going to help you.
1:49:16
Speaker 5: Your circumstances are not going to help you because the
1:49:18
Speaker 5: Democrats are going to gut you of your take-home pay.
1:49:22
Speaker 5: And that drives the economy. Americans buying things, and you
1:49:27
Speaker 5: can't buy it if you don't have it. And, you know,
1:49:30
Speaker 5: when people say, oh, affordability, I look at it, there
1:49:35
Speaker 5: has not been since Franklin Roosevelt one Democratic administration that's
1:49:41
Speaker 5: cut taxes.
1:49:43
Speaker 2: Not one.
1:49:44
Speaker 5: They tell you they do, but then they tax you
1:49:46
Speaker 5: in the back door. Right. All right.
1:49:49
Speaker 2: What about the first Clinton administration? No?
1:49:53
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's true.
1:49:55
Speaker 13: Yeah.
1:49:56
Speaker 5: But again, all of the stuff that you needed from local, state,
1:50:02
Speaker 5: and federal governments, all of the things that you have
1:50:06
Speaker 5: to have, they mandate that you have a license for this,
1:50:10
Speaker 5: a license for that, whatever it may be. They tacked
1:50:14
Speaker 5: on surcharges. But now it's on... See, the Democrats are
1:50:20
Speaker 5: arrogant now. They think that they have a mandate when
1:50:24
Speaker 5: all they got was... A victory based on anger.
1:50:28
Speaker 2: That's it.
1:50:28
Speaker 5: It could flip really fast.
1:50:30
Speaker 2: Well, it's funny you say that. We have about two
1:50:32
Speaker 2: minutes to go. But your friend Stephen A. Smith, who
1:50:34
Speaker 2: is great with you on television, and Solomon the God,
1:50:38
Speaker 2: two African-American well-known hosts who do a whole bunch of
1:50:42
Speaker 2: stuff outside of politics, but politics as well. They both
1:50:45
Speaker 2: said they actually expect, they expect the Democrats to be arrogant,
1:50:51
Speaker 2: over the top, and it's going to cost them the
1:50:53
Speaker 2: White House in 2028. Smith and Charlemagne both said that.
1:50:59
Speaker 5: Well, it depends who the Republicans run. So, you know, look,
1:51:05
Speaker 5: if Donald Trump had held a nationwide address... about early
1:51:15
Speaker 5: September after Labor Day, and said, look, I know what
1:51:19
Speaker 5: you're going through. I know this Iranian war is hurting
1:51:25
Speaker 5: you in your wallet, and I am going to resolve that,
1:51:29
Speaker 5: and we're going to do a number of things to
1:51:31
Speaker 5: restore your money so you can get back to and
1:51:37
Speaker 5: prosper where we were. Why didn't he do it? Why?
1:51:44
Speaker 5: He's got the power of the pulpit. You've got to
1:51:47
Speaker 5: be empathetic. You have to feel the pain of the voter.
1:51:51
Speaker 2: Yeah.
1:51:52
Speaker 5: I mean, a ballroom, which is needed, absolutely needed. Okay.
1:51:57
Speaker 5: And a reflecting pool gets you nothing.
1:52:01
Speaker 2: People are very angry. He was talking about the reflecting
1:52:03
Speaker 2: pool on Wednesday morning. They're like, are you kidding me?
1:52:05
Speaker 5: Nothing.
1:52:06
Speaker 2: Right.
1:52:07
Speaker 5: You've got to go where they live. Yeah. You've got
1:52:10
Speaker 5: to say, I know the American oil companies are gouging you.
1:52:15
Speaker 5: I know that. And we're going to take a look
1:52:18
Speaker 5: at the profiteering laws. That would have scared the hell
1:52:22
Speaker 5: out of those American oil companies, and those prices would
1:52:26
Speaker 5: have gone down that night. I agree. But none of
1:52:29
Speaker 5: that happened. No. The Democrats are good at that. Good
1:52:35
Speaker 5: at telling you how screwed you are. and it's the
1:52:39
Speaker 5: Republicans' fault, but they're going to fix it. Of course,
1:52:42
Speaker 5: they never fix it. And as I said at the
1:52:46
Speaker 5: beginning of this chat, New York, very, very shaky now.
1:52:53
Speaker 2: I think we're done.
1:52:53
Speaker 5: Very shaky.
1:52:54
Speaker 2: I think you're being nice. I think we're done. In fact,
1:52:56
Speaker 2: I've got Bruce Blakeman on hold right now. He was
1:52:58
Speaker 2: a guy that could have saved us, as you pointed
1:53:00
Speaker 2: out two or three times during this conversation. So, Bill O'Reilly,
1:53:04
Speaker 2: as always, whether it's a Thursday or today on a Friday,
1:53:09
Speaker 2: What a great conversation. You are the best ever. I
1:53:11
Speaker 2: love you. Thank you so much.
1:53:13
Speaker 5: Thanks for having me. There is no rumor that we're
1:53:15
Speaker 5: going to change the state emblem here in New York
1:53:20
Speaker 5: to the Jets emblem. We're not doing that. When you
1:53:25
Speaker 5: see that happen, you know it's over.
1:53:29
Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, I got news for you. New York may
1:53:30
Speaker 2: be bigger losers than the Jets. That's saying a lot,
1:53:33
Speaker 2: by the way, Bill. Bill, I love you. We'll do
1:53:36
Speaker 2: it again on Thursday.
1:53:37
Speaker 5: Thanks for having me. Say hello to Bruce.
1:53:39
Speaker 2: I will take care. We heard you say that just now.
1:53:41
Speaker 2: We'll take a short break. Bill O'Reilly, always the best.
1:53:44
Speaker 2: Absolutely great.
1:53:45
Speaker 3: Sid and friends in the morning on the Red Apple
1:53:49
Speaker 3: Podcast Network.
1:53:51
Speaker 2: But it doesn't matter. If I thought he ran a
1:53:54
Speaker 2: lackluster campaign, you know Sid Rosenberg pretty well, guys. I
1:53:59
Speaker 2: would say it. If I thought that he left something
1:54:04
Speaker 2: at home and not on the football field, I would
1:54:07
Speaker 2: say it. It was clear on Tuesday that no matter
1:54:12
Speaker 2: how talented our candidate was, and not all were very talented,
1:54:17
Speaker 2: they weren't going to win. They just were not going
1:54:20
Speaker 2: to win. But Let me ask Bruce what he thought
1:54:24
Speaker 2: about what happened on Tuesday night. Current Nassau County Executive,
1:54:28
Speaker 2: Bruce Blakeman. Bruce, good morning, pal. How are you?
1:54:31
Speaker 5: Good, Sid. How are you doing?
1:54:32
Speaker 2: I'm doing great. Any regrets looking back at Tuesday night's results?
1:54:38
Speaker 5: No, not at all. Not at all. Listen, I worked
1:54:42
Speaker 5: incredibly hard. People said they'd never seen anybody work so
1:54:45
Speaker 5: hard in their life. I had two days off in
1:54:48
Speaker 5: 11 months, two days off. I played nine holes of
1:54:51
Speaker 5: golf in 11 months, not nine rounds, nine holes. I
1:54:56
Speaker 5: dedicated my whole life to it. I put my heart
1:54:59
Speaker 5: and soul in it. We raised the money. We traveled
1:55:02
Speaker 5: around the state. We went to every nook and cranny.
1:55:04
Speaker 5: But I have no regrets, would have liked to have
1:55:07
Speaker 5: a different result. But do you know how many great
1:55:10
Speaker 5: people I met? I mean, I met farmers. I met
1:55:14
Speaker 5: small business owners. I've met people who were struggling. I
1:55:18
Speaker 5: met people who were very, very productive people, people who
1:55:22
Speaker 5: invented things, people who created jobs. It was a blessing
1:55:27
Speaker 5: to be able to be the Republican and conservative party
1:55:33
Speaker 5: candidates for governor. And I have absolutely no regrets whatsoever.
1:55:38
Speaker 5: We were hit by a tsunami. If it was only
1:55:42
Speaker 5: New York that we got clobbered, then you probably could
1:55:45
Speaker 5: look to blame me. But we lost the governorship of Texas.
1:55:49
Speaker 5: Byron Donald in Florida just squeaked by. We lost the
1:55:53
Speaker 5: Senate race in Texas. You go down the map, and
1:55:56
Speaker 5: it was a bloodbath of the proportions of post-Watergate.
1:56:01
Speaker 2: Why do you think that was the case, Bruce?
1:56:04
Speaker 5: I think it was a lot of different reasons. I
1:56:06
Speaker 5: think that basically, we didn't articulate on a national level
1:56:12
Speaker 5: an agenda for addressing issues such as gasoline prices, grocery prices.
1:56:20
Speaker 5: I think people didn't get a full accounting of what
1:56:27
Speaker 5: the tariffs meant and what they were for and the
1:56:31
Speaker 5: impact that they had on a long-term basis. I think
1:56:35
Speaker 5: that the explanation of the war against Iran was not
1:56:42
Speaker 5: what I would say a very good campaign to make
1:56:47
Speaker 5: sure that people understood the life and death circumstances of
1:56:52
Speaker 5: Iran obtaining nuclear weapons capability. And what threat that would
1:56:57
Speaker 5: mean to the United States, especially in cities like New
1:57:01
Speaker 5: York City, which is probably the number one terrorist target
1:57:05
Speaker 5: in the whole United States of America. So I think
1:57:09
Speaker 5: there are a lot of things we could have done better. But,
1:57:11
Speaker 5: you know, I really have no stomach for people who
1:57:15
Speaker 5: who get involved in the blame game. You know, people
1:57:19
Speaker 5: who sat on the sidelines and now they're Monday morning
1:57:22
Speaker 5: quarterbacks should have done this, should have done that. Trump
1:57:26
Speaker 5: should have done this. Trump should have done that. You know,
1:57:29
Speaker 5: it's over. Let's learn the lessons. Let's pick ourselves up,
1:57:35
Speaker 5: dust off the uniform and get back in the game.
1:57:37
Speaker 2: Fine again. That's right. Well, let me get to President Trump,
1:57:39
Speaker 2: because you guys are very, very close, closer than I
1:57:42
Speaker 2: am with Trump. And I love Trump. And I tweeted
1:57:44
Speaker 2: right away on Tuesday night, don't blame this all on Trump.
1:57:47
Speaker 2: That's lazy and easy. But everybody I speak to, they
1:57:52
Speaker 2: find a way to blame Trump. Now you, you had
1:57:55
Speaker 2: a great rally, which I loved. I was at it,
1:57:57
Speaker 2: the Law and Order Rally, Nassau Coliseum. President Trump came.
1:58:01
Speaker 2: Then not long after that, you went to Syracuse. Mike
1:58:04
Speaker 2: Tyson was there. President Trump came. I asked Mike Lawler
1:58:08
Speaker 2: the same thing yesterday. In retrospect, do you think it
1:58:11
Speaker 2: was a good or bad idea to do rallies with
1:58:15
Speaker 2: President Trump? Did we lose him?
1:58:22
Speaker 5: Yeah, no, I'm on. I thought you were going to
1:58:24
Speaker 5: play what he said. I didn't hear what he said. No, no.
1:58:26
Speaker 2: Lawler said, no, he's the president of the United States.
1:58:29
Speaker 2: And if I was going to do it over again,
1:58:31
Speaker 2: I would bring him right back to Rockland County. And
1:58:34
Speaker 2: I would guess you're going to say the same thing
1:58:35
Speaker 2: about Long Island, yes?
1:58:37
Speaker 5: Yeah, absolutely. He's the president of the United States. And
1:58:42
Speaker 5: he was a friend. He is a friend, an ally
1:58:45
Speaker 5: of mine. Like I said, the blame game is really
1:58:48
Speaker 5: something that's not productive at all. What we should do
1:58:52
Speaker 5: is look at what we did right, what we did wrong,
1:58:55
Speaker 5: make adjustments and move on. By the way, let me
1:58:58
Speaker 5: say something about Mike Lawler. He was a terrific candidate.
1:59:02
Speaker 5: He fought hard. He got caught in the tsunami. This
1:59:05
Speaker 5: is a guy that deserved reelection if anybody did. He
1:59:10
Speaker 5: was just a great candidate. He's a great public official.
1:59:13
Speaker 5: And this will not be the last we hear of
1:59:15
Speaker 5: Mike Lawler.
1:59:15
Speaker 2: Well, there are rumors today now that you brought it up, Bruce.
1:59:18
Speaker 2: And I hate to put you on the spot, but
1:59:19
Speaker 2: I've already made my opinion clear. I like Ed Cox.
1:59:23
Speaker 2: He's a nice guy. Really nice guy. I like him
1:59:25
Speaker 2: a lot. But we're getting our ass kicked every year, Republicans.
1:59:29
Speaker 2: And if he was a football coach, he would have
1:59:31
Speaker 2: been fired a long time ago. Rumors are that he
1:59:34
Speaker 2: may be– people want him out. People want him out.
1:59:36
Speaker 2: And they want Mike Lawler to take over that position.
1:59:40
Speaker 2: What are your thoughts on that?
1:59:42
Speaker 5: Well, first of all, Mike Lawler, again, is a great leader.
1:59:47
Speaker 5: He understands politics very well. I think he would do
1:59:50
Speaker 5: well in anything that he desired to do. That's up
1:59:55
Speaker 5: to the political leaders. I try to stay out of
1:59:57
Speaker 5: that stuff. There will be a lot of discussions going
2:00:02
Speaker 5: forward on what the future leadership of the state should
2:00:06
Speaker 5: look like. And I think that's a healthy argument to make.
2:00:09
Speaker 5: I think that, you know, we have to refresh ourselves
2:00:12
Speaker 5: in certain areas. So, listen, but as far as law
2:00:15
Speaker 5: is concerned, look, the guy is a star. He'll do
2:00:19
Speaker 5: well whatever he does.
2:00:20
Speaker 2: You talk about the Monday morning quarterback, and we all
2:00:23
Speaker 2: remember that Elise Stefanik was running for governor. For all
2:00:26
Speaker 2: you folks that think you're good friends with her, okay,
2:00:29
Speaker 2: let me tell you something. Do you know who Elise
2:00:32
Speaker 2: Stefanik reached out to at the very beginning and said,
2:00:35
Speaker 2: I want to make the announcement on your show? Do
2:00:37
Speaker 2: you know, Bruce?
2:00:39
Speaker 5: Me. No, I didn't know that.
2:00:40
Speaker 2: That was me, yeah. So she said, here's the deal.
2:00:43
Speaker 2: I got to do it on Fox News first with
2:00:46
Speaker 2: Brian Kilmeade, but I want to be on your radio
2:00:48
Speaker 2: show first. And she did it. She made her announcement
2:00:52
Speaker 2: on my show. We did a couple of events together,
2:00:55
Speaker 2: one in particular, one Jewish event. She was on this
2:00:59
Speaker 2: show a couple of times, and we were friendly. Look,
2:01:02
Speaker 2: she gave me her seat. on the floor, this is
2:01:05
Speaker 2: a true story, in Wisconsin during the RNC back in 2024.
2:01:11
Speaker 2: And I loved her, okay? And she did an amazing,
2:01:15
Speaker 2: amazing job that day on the Hill when she took
2:01:19
Speaker 2: out all the university presidents. She was spectacular. She had
2:01:23
Speaker 2: a second great day, which people forget, when she hammered
2:01:27
Speaker 2: Andrew Cuomo. She did some great things, great things. She
2:01:32
Speaker 2: decides to run for governor. You decide to run for governor,
2:01:36
Speaker 2: and instead of doing the right thing, which is, okay,
2:01:39
Speaker 2: let me beat Bruce in the primary, what does she do?
2:01:42
Speaker 2: She quits. She literally quits on New York. Now she
2:01:46
Speaker 2: hates Bruce Blakeman, won't even return your tax. She hates me,
2:01:50
Speaker 2: refuses to return any of my tax for months and months,
2:01:54
Speaker 2: and now she's going to come out afterwards and say
2:01:56
Speaker 2: you were low energy? Talk about Monday morning quarterback. What
2:02:00
Speaker 2: the hell was that?
2:02:02
Speaker 5: Well, look, what did Elise Stefanik do for the Republican
2:02:05
Speaker 5: Party in New York State? I was out every single day.
2:02:10
Speaker 5: She didn't work for me. She didn't work for Sarifa.
2:02:12
Speaker 5: She didn't work for Joe Hernandez. She didn't work for
2:02:16
Speaker 5: Mike Lawler. She didn't work for Nicola Loda, Andrew Garbarino,
2:02:19
Speaker 5: Janine Driscoll, Mike Lepetri, Peter Oberacker, Kelly Buller. I can
2:02:26
Speaker 5: go through the list of people that she could have helped.
2:02:29
Speaker 5: She didn't campaign for anybody. She didn't raise any money
2:02:32
Speaker 5: for anybody. She was just AOL, absent without leave. And
2:02:38
Speaker 5: it just showed that it was really all about her.
2:02:41
Speaker 5: And it wasn't about the state. It wasn't about the country.
2:02:45
Speaker 5: It wasn't about the party.
2:02:47
Speaker 2: And yet I'm getting messages all day yesterday and still
2:02:50
Speaker 2: this morning. I'll leave the names out. I think you
2:02:52
Speaker 2: know who they are. Oh, my God, Bruce. What is
2:02:55
Speaker 2: wrong with Bruce? Why would he attack her? Wait a second.
2:02:57
Speaker 2: Wait a second. You don't attack her. You never mentioned her.
2:03:01
Speaker 2: You didn't say a word about her. She attacked you.
2:03:03
Speaker 2: Said you ran a bad campaign. So do people expect
2:03:07
Speaker 2: you to say nothing after that? I don't get it.
2:03:09
Speaker 2: What do they expect?
2:03:11
Speaker 5: Listen, Elise Stefanik can't get along with Mike Johnson. That's
2:03:16
Speaker 5: all you need to know. Mike Johnson is probably the
2:03:19
Speaker 5: nicest guy I've ever met in politics. for being such
2:03:23
Speaker 5: a powerful person. He's probably one of the most unassuming,
2:03:27
Speaker 5: grounded people I've ever met. And she is just hostile
2:03:32
Speaker 5: towards him, which needs, you know, that tells you everything.
2:03:36
Speaker 5: And by the way, you know, what was she doing
2:03:40
Speaker 5: that was so important that she couldn't run in a primary? Well,
2:03:42
Speaker 5: now we know. She was on a book tour. So
2:03:45
Speaker 5: she was planning to run for governor and use that
2:03:49
Speaker 5: as a catalyst to sell books on her book tour
2:03:51
Speaker 5: because she was booked all over the country. And she
2:03:56
Speaker 5: was doing all these book tours on her book, and
2:03:59
Speaker 5: she had no intention of running hard to become governor.
2:04:02
Speaker 5: That's why I got in the race is because I
2:04:05
Speaker 5: didn't think her candidacy was serious. I didn't think she
2:04:07
Speaker 5: had a prayer of winning. Look at her record. She's
2:04:11
Speaker 5: run in districts that a Mickey Mouse could run as
2:04:14
Speaker 5: a Republican and win. I went in districts. I went
2:04:17
Speaker 5: in a county with almost 104,000 more Democrats than Republicans.
2:04:23
Speaker 5: And I've run a big organization. I have executive experience. So,
2:04:27
Speaker 5: you know, Elise Stefanik, she said what she said. If
2:04:32
Speaker 5: she wants to pick a fight with me, bring it on.
2:04:34
Speaker 5: I'm happy to engage her. I didn't say anything about
2:04:38
Speaker 5: her lack of support for me or anybody else here
2:04:41
Speaker 5: in New York State. She did absolutely nothing. And, you know, look,
2:04:48
Speaker 5: I don't I don't suffer bullies. Well, I don't like bullies.
2:04:51
Speaker 5: And that's her reputation in Congress. That's her reputation in
2:04:54
Speaker 5: her district. And again, I didn't I didn't take the
2:04:58
Speaker 5: first swing. But if you swing at me, I'm swinging back.
2:05:02
Speaker 2: I got no problem with that. I mean, look, and
2:05:03
Speaker 2: you showed me and I showed you mine, the text
2:05:07
Speaker 2: messages that you sent to her. No reply. I even
2:05:10
Speaker 2: tried to book her to promote her book, but she
2:05:12
Speaker 2: was so mad at me because I'm friends with you,
2:05:16
Speaker 2: and I didn't come on the air and say, hey, Bruce,
2:05:18
Speaker 2: don't run against... I mean, did she think, or do
2:05:20
Speaker 2: her friends think that because she had that great day
2:05:23
Speaker 2: in Congress and she did, that everybody should just clear
2:05:27
Speaker 2: the floor and get out of her way? How is
2:05:29
Speaker 2: that an American... How is that the American way to
2:05:32
Speaker 2: do that? What is that all about?
2:05:35
Speaker 5: Look, what Lee Stefanik should do... is repair all of
2:05:41
Speaker 5: the divisions that she's made within the Republican Party if
2:05:45
Speaker 5: she wants a future. Maybe she doesn't want a future
2:05:48
Speaker 5: in the Republican Party. I don't know. She went out
2:05:51
Speaker 5: and did nothing for anybody and to attack people that,
2:05:56
Speaker 5: quite frankly, work really, really, really hard. And I'm not
2:05:59
Speaker 5: talking about me. I'm talking about county chairman. I'm talking
2:06:02
Speaker 5: about volunteers. I'm talking about people who care about this state.
2:06:06
Speaker 5: They were out there working their ass off. And where
2:06:09
Speaker 5: was she? Where was she? Does she care about the state?
2:06:12
Speaker 5: Does she care about the country? I was working hard
2:06:15
Speaker 5: not just for me, but for the state of New York,
2:06:18
Speaker 5: for members of Congress, for Mike Johnson to remain as speaker,
2:06:23
Speaker 5: for us to win assembly seats and Senate seats. Those
2:06:27
Speaker 5: are the reasons why I was running. So the fact
2:06:30
Speaker 5: that she did nothing and lent nothing to this effort
2:06:33
Speaker 5: is just instructive of the type of person that she is.
2:06:37
Speaker 2: Do you expect that somewhere down the road she'll reach
2:06:41
Speaker 2: out or would you reach out? Is there any way
2:06:43
Speaker 2: that this relationship can be fixed or does it even matter, really?
2:06:47
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't care, but she doesn't talk to
2:06:50
Speaker 2: me either. I don't care. Do you care moving forward?
2:06:53
Speaker 5: Well, there's an old saying in politics, only amateurs stay mad.
2:06:59
Speaker 5: So the people that you fight with today could be
2:07:02
Speaker 5: the people that you are allied with the next day.
2:07:05
Speaker 2: That's true.
2:07:06
Speaker 5: Look, if Elise reached out to me, I would be
2:07:10
Speaker 5: very happy to sit down with her and iron things
2:07:15
Speaker 5: out because, look, we're in a minority here in New
2:07:18
Speaker 5: York State. It's better if we're unified than if we're divided.
2:07:23
Speaker 5: But the fact is that, you know, right now, She
2:07:27
Speaker 5: would have to make the move to do that because
2:07:30
Speaker 5: she started the battle. She started the fight. And I
2:07:33
Speaker 5: don't know why it didn't elevate her. It just it
2:07:35
Speaker 5: brought her down. And it just highlighted the fact that
2:07:38
Speaker 5: she she was very selfish. She did nothing for anybody.
2:07:42
Speaker 2: So let me get back to you for a second.
2:07:44
Speaker 2: You are still the Nassau County executive and you've done
2:07:46
Speaker 2: a tremendous job there. That's why you won for the
2:07:49
Speaker 2: second time in a mostly blue district. You know, it's
2:07:52
Speaker 2: unfair to think at this point any Republican will have
2:07:55
Speaker 2: success in New York. It just is. But but with
2:07:58
Speaker 2: that said, you're not done, right? I mean, I don't
2:08:00
Speaker 2: know if you're thinking about maybe Congress.
2:08:02
Speaker 5: Who knows?
2:08:02
Speaker 2: Maybe you went for a Senate seat. Maybe president one day.
2:08:05
Speaker 2: You're very close with Trump. My guess is, and I
2:08:08
Speaker 2: hope this is the case, you're not done.
2:08:11
Speaker 5: Well, no, listen, Sid. My goal right now is to
2:08:16
Speaker 5: be the best county executive I can be. I got
2:08:20
Speaker 5: great news yesterday. Our sales tax revenue far exceeded what
2:08:25
Speaker 5: we projected, meaning that our county is very robust. We're
2:08:29
Speaker 5: probably the only or one of the few counties in
2:08:32
Speaker 5: all of New York State where people are actually moving
2:08:35
Speaker 5: into my county rather than moving out. We're the safest
2:08:38
Speaker 5: county in America. I haven't raised taxes in five years
2:08:42
Speaker 5: one penny. People like the fact that their home values
2:08:46
Speaker 5: have gone up. We've created equity for their families. We've
2:08:49
Speaker 5: created prosperity. We've created good jobs. That's what I want
2:08:53
Speaker 5: to continue to do. And whatever the future may hold,
2:08:55
Speaker 5: the future may hold. But right now I'm focused on
2:08:58
Speaker 5: being the best county executive that I can be.
2:09:00
Speaker 7: You already are.
2:09:01
Speaker 2: Here's what scares me, though, with the Democrats, you know,
2:09:04
Speaker 2: for people who want to work with them and get
2:09:05
Speaker 2: along with them. No, no way, baby. They're lunatics.
2:09:08
Speaker 5: No, thanks.
2:09:09
Speaker 2: Tuesday night is the bloodbath. It took them two days. Bruce,
2:09:14
Speaker 2: two days in your Nassau County to start to unravel
2:09:20
Speaker 2: what you did, which was great, keeping boys out of
2:09:24
Speaker 2: women's sports. Two days. And the Democrats start to unravel
2:09:30
Speaker 2: that and get transgenders back into sports. That's just the
2:09:35
Speaker 2: appetizer of what's to come on a national level.
2:09:39
Speaker 21: No.
2:09:40
Speaker 5: Well, you know, Sid, the good news is the Democrats
2:09:44
Speaker 5: will screw it up like they always have. They will overreach. And,
2:09:48
Speaker 5: you know, we lost the elections across America because we
2:09:52
Speaker 5: lost the independent voters. And also, we didn't have as
2:09:56
Speaker 5: much enthusiasm from our own Republican voters as we would
2:10:00
Speaker 5: have needed to win elections. So it was two things.
2:10:03
Speaker 5: We didn't get our base out to the extent that
2:10:06
Speaker 5: we needed. And we lost the independent voters because the
2:10:08
Speaker 5: independent voters are voters that they are truly independent. They
2:10:14
Speaker 5: go Republican when they think the Republicans have the best ideas,
2:10:18
Speaker 5: and they go Democrat. And I think that the independent
2:10:22
Speaker 5: voters are the key to the future elections, not only
2:10:25
Speaker 5: here in New York State, but throughout the country. And
2:10:27
Speaker 5: we've got to find a way to appeal to them again.
2:10:31
Speaker 5: And I think a lot of it's messaging. I think
2:10:33
Speaker 5: our messaging across the United States was weak, And it
2:10:39
Speaker 5: wasn't direct and it wasn't empathetic. You know, listen, we
2:10:43
Speaker 5: should have said and I tried to say it, but
2:10:46
Speaker 5: I think others should have said, look, we understand the
2:10:49
Speaker 5: gas prices are high and we're working to bring those
2:10:53
Speaker 5: prices down. But you got to remember that we have
2:10:57
Speaker 5: a country out there that says death to America and
2:11:00
Speaker 5: we can't allow them to get a nuclear weapon because
2:11:04
Speaker 5: these are people who don't value life. They think they
2:11:06
Speaker 5: get rewarded. If they die in a suicide bombing. So
2:11:11
Speaker 5: they're not they're not afraid to die for their cause.
2:11:15
Speaker 5: And therefore they would use the nuclear weapon on us.
2:11:18
Speaker 5: And I don't think that that message was conveyed to
2:11:22
Speaker 5: the extent that, you know, people could absorb it and
2:11:25
Speaker 5: understand it.
2:11:26
Speaker 2: I agree with you. All right, so in closing, let
2:11:28
Speaker 2: me just tell you that I'm very, very proud of you.
2:11:30
Speaker 2: I think you ran a tremendous campaign. Great campaign, because
2:11:33
Speaker 2: I was in it. I was there every day. Was
2:11:36
Speaker 2: I not there? Did you and I not talk every day?
2:11:39
Speaker 2: Every day. I know what you did. All your critics today,
2:11:43
Speaker 2: they have no idea what they're talking about. No idea.
2:11:47
Speaker 5: If you went on Facebook or Instagram, you'd see me
2:11:51
Speaker 5: all over the place every single day.
2:11:53
Speaker 2: And you were still doing a great job running Nassau County.
2:11:56
Speaker 2: Nobody was going to beat Hochul that day. That's the
2:11:59
Speaker 2: bottom line. Nobody was. You did a great job, and
2:12:02
Speaker 2: I'm proud to be your friend.
2:12:04
Speaker 5: Taylor Brunson and Josh Allen combined to beat Kathy Hochul
2:12:08
Speaker 5: this Tuesday. It's true.
2:12:09
Speaker 2: Well, then, on the way out, last one. Because you're
2:12:12
Speaker 2: right about that. Jalen Brunson, who just won the championship
2:12:15
Speaker 2: with the Knicks, and Josh Allen, the Hall of Fame
2:12:17
Speaker 2: quarterback for the Buffalo Bills, they couldn't beat her. What
2:12:21
Speaker 2: does that tell you about New York? Does that depress you?
2:12:24
Speaker 2: I know you're doing great in Nassau County, but on
2:12:26
Speaker 2: the big scale, our state, what happened to you on
2:12:31
Speaker 2: Tuesday night, does that not depress you?
2:12:35
Speaker 5: Well, I'm very disappointed, obviously. I'm disappointed because I wanted, truly,
2:12:42
Speaker 5: to have the opportunity to turn the state around.
2:12:44
Speaker 2: I know, but forget about you. What is wrong with
2:12:47
Speaker 2: these people? Do they not see the drugs, no jobs,
2:12:52
Speaker 2: a million cities, I mentioned them earlier, from Monticello to,
2:12:56
Speaker 2: forget about New York City, Monticello, Utica, Rome, Syracuse, Rochester.
2:13:02
Speaker 2: Do they not see these are broken cities, drug addled
2:13:07
Speaker 2: and broke cities? They like that. They want to keep
2:13:10
Speaker 2: Kathy Hochul in power.
2:13:12
Speaker 10: Why?
2:13:12
Speaker 5: I'm disappointed, but I still have my faith in New Yorkers.
2:13:20
Speaker 5: And I think we still have to fight. Never give
2:13:23
Speaker 5: up the fight. And these elections tend to be cyclical.
2:13:28
Speaker 5: And I think we'll have another opportunity to save our
2:13:31
Speaker 5: state sometime in the future.
2:13:33
Speaker 2: Bruce Blakeman, you're great. I love you. Thank you for
2:13:36
Speaker 2: all your hard work. And you ran a terrific campaign
2:13:38
Speaker 2: and just went into a buzzsaw. We will do it again, Bruce.
2:13:41
Speaker 2: Thank you so much for today. Thank you.
2:13:43
Speaker 5: Well, God bless you and God bless America. Thank you, Sid.
2:13:46
Speaker 2: You got it. Bruce Blakeman right there. God bless him, too.
2:13:48
Speaker 2: And look, I don't dislike Elisa. Elisa and I were
2:13:51
Speaker 2: good friends. Like I said, she reached out to me.
2:13:53
Speaker 2: She said, I want to make my announcement on your show.
2:13:56
Speaker 2: And she did it. Now, she got mad at me.
2:13:58
Speaker 2: Of course, in the interview, I brought up abortion. She
2:14:00
Speaker 2: didn't like it. But she made it on my show.
2:14:02
Speaker 2: And we talked quite a bit. Texted each other a lot.
2:14:06
Speaker 2: A lot more than any of you folks out there
2:14:07
Speaker 2: that think you love her today.
2:14:09
Speaker 5: A lot more.
2:14:10
Speaker 2: But the truth is, she quit. She just quit. And
2:14:13
Speaker 2: Bruce did nothing wrong. Nothing. And Bruce didn't start this
2:14:16
Speaker 2: two days ago. He didn't bring her up once. She's
2:14:20
Speaker 2: the one who came out and said, low energy, bad campaign.
2:14:23
Speaker 2: What do you want Bruce to do? Just take it?
2:14:25
Speaker 2: Would Trump do that? Would you do that? I wouldn't
2:14:28
Speaker 2: do that. So, yeah, he came back hard.
2:14:31
Speaker 5: So what?
2:14:32
Speaker 2: So what? It's easy for all the Republicans. See, that's
2:14:36
Speaker 2: what we do. They don't do that. The Democrats, those
2:14:40
Speaker 2: group of insufferable lunatics, they never, ever, ever get on
2:14:44
Speaker 2: each other. Ever. Republicans? Bunch of bitches. So what we
2:14:48
Speaker 2: do is complain about the other candidate. So what we
2:14:51
Speaker 2: do is criticize the other candidate. What would you have done?
2:14:55
Speaker 2: Would you have won? All the folks that texted me yesterday,
2:14:58
Speaker 2: I'm not going to name your names. You would have
2:15:00
Speaker 2: gotten your asses kicked, too. And so would have released
2:15:03
Speaker 2: a phonic. You all would have lost. But you got
2:15:06
Speaker 2: all the answers. Bruce was the problem. No, he wasn't. No,
2:15:10
Speaker 2: he wasn't. So Republicans, more than ever, need to come together,
2:15:16
Speaker 2: get better people in charge, get better candidates, and honestly,
2:15:20
Speaker 2: STFU about the folks that lost. Because you would have lost, too.
2:15:24
Speaker 2: Back after this.
2:15:26
Speaker 3: Sid and Friends in the Morning on the Red Apple
2:15:29
Speaker 3: Podcast Network.
2:15:31
Speaker 2: You guys aware of Bruce doing something else?
2:15:34
Speaker 5: Maybe.
2:15:34
Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't think so. Certainly not on radio. So,
2:15:41
Speaker 2: I know a few things. I'm family with a lot
2:15:43
Speaker 2: of people. Here's a good text. Don't forget Mike Lawler
2:15:49
Speaker 2: was the executive director of the state GOP before he
2:15:54
Speaker 2: was elected president. As a congressman, he was responsible for
2:15:58
Speaker 2: Rob Bastarino election among others. So in a lot of
2:16:01
Speaker 2: ways he is very suited to be the chair. So
2:16:06
Speaker 2: there you go.
2:16:08
Speaker 16: Oh man, there's another great name.
2:16:10
Speaker 7: What, to be the chair?
2:16:11
Speaker 16: That I miss.
2:16:13
Speaker 2: Oh, Bob Holden. Thank you very much. Bob Holden just
2:16:16
Speaker 2: texted me. Sid, outstanding interview with Bruce. Bob happens to
2:16:19
Speaker 2: be maybe, arguably, I think he is, the greatest city
2:16:23
Speaker 2: council person ever. So that is a Huge compliment. Thank you,
2:16:27
Speaker 2: Bob Holden. Another name I missed. To what? To replace
2:16:30
Speaker 2: Ed Cox, possibly?
2:16:31
Speaker 16: When you said Rob Astorino, I've always loved him.
2:16:34
Speaker 5: He was good.
2:16:35
Speaker 2: Yeah, Bernie liked him, too. He actually was Bernie's first
2:16:38
Speaker 2: choice for governor that year. Mine was Andrew Giuliani. And then,
2:16:42
Speaker 2: of course, we also loved Lee Zeldin. But mine was Andrew.
2:16:45
Speaker 2: His was Rob.
2:16:46
Speaker 8: Rob's a great guy. Yeah, good guy. Super nice guy.
2:16:49
Speaker 2: Listen, he blew up on that whole scandal, too.
2:16:52
Speaker 5: Yeah.
2:16:52
Speaker 2: Of them flying all those illegals into Westchester Airport, that
2:16:56
Speaker 2: was Rob Astorino.
2:16:57
Speaker 8: Yes, it was, yes.
2:16:58
Speaker 2: Yeah, Rob's a nice guy. He's smart. He did a
2:16:59
Speaker 2: very good job, too, as the Westchester County executive.
2:17:02
Speaker 8: Right, where did he go after this?
2:17:04
Speaker 2: He's across the street, I think, at Newsmax.
2:17:06
Speaker 16: Oh, yeah, that's where he did go.
2:17:07
Speaker 2: I don't think he's still there, though, is he? Listen,
2:17:09
Speaker 2: here's what you do. If you don't last here, you
2:17:12
Speaker 2: go to WOR, where you die, like Curtis. He's dead, 1.7 Curtis.
2:17:19
Speaker 2: Or you go to Newsmax, where you also die. For
2:17:21
Speaker 2: the most part, die.
2:17:22
Speaker 17: It's like the witness protection program over there.
2:17:24
Speaker 2: You start at ABC and Fox News, ABC and Fox News,
2:17:30
Speaker 2: and then you end up at OR and Newsmax, and
2:17:33
Speaker 2: then you're waiting on tables at rails.
2:17:37
Speaker 16: Look, I just don't want to go somewhere cold, okay?
2:17:40
Speaker 16: Just don't send me cold. I'm very, you know, biotic,
2:17:46
Speaker 16: whatever the heck that is. With the chest, I don't breathe.
2:17:50
Speaker 16: well in the cold.
2:17:50
Speaker 2: You actually like the cold. You go to those upstate
2:17:54
Speaker 2: towns in New York all the time. I go to Miami.
2:17:56
Speaker 2: You go to Caledonia. Yeah.
2:17:59
Speaker 16: I don't mind the cold, cold. I just, I can't
2:18:02
Speaker 16: deal with not breathing in heat.
2:18:05
Speaker 2: I can't. You like the cold? That's okay.
2:18:07
Speaker 5: No, I know.
2:18:08
Speaker 16: I'm not the fan. I'm just saying that's me.
2:18:09
Speaker 10: Yeah.
2:18:10
Speaker 2: What about MJ? She likes the cold better too?
2:18:12
Speaker 16: I don't think so.
2:18:13
Speaker 5: No.
2:18:13
Speaker 2: She loves summer. She loves summer. Yeah. So she'd rather
2:18:16
Speaker 2: live in Florida.
2:18:18
Speaker 16: I don't know.
2:18:18
Speaker 2: You're going to take her to some terrible place. You're
2:18:21
Speaker 2: going to die like Jack Nicholson in The Shining in
2:18:24
Speaker 2: some ice storm out somewhere shoveling deer duty. They're going
2:18:28
Speaker 2: to find the great Lou Rapinoe dead, ice to death in, like,
2:18:31
Speaker 2: New Hampshire.
2:18:31
Speaker 16: With my handprints on an axe.
2:18:33
Speaker 2: Bernie used to say to me, MJ, here's Johnny. Here's Johnny.
2:18:38
Speaker 2: Bernie wanted to go to, like, Maine or New Hampshire.
2:18:42
Speaker 2: I'll never forget this. We're on the train one day,
2:18:45
Speaker 2: and this is when Bill O'Reilly did his show from
2:18:47
Speaker 2: Brian Park. So we're on the train, me and Bernard,
2:18:50
Speaker 2: and we're talking about retiring. This had to be, he
2:18:53
Speaker 2: died in 2022, maybe 2021, okay? And he goes, yeah,
2:18:58
Speaker 2: I'm going to go to like, you know, Maine, New Hampshire.
2:19:00
Speaker 2: I go, what are you nuts? Maine, New Hampshire. Bernie,
2:19:05
Speaker 2: it's freezing. I like the cold. In fact, I love
2:19:08
Speaker 2: all four. You remember Bernie? I love all four seasons.
2:19:10
Speaker 2: I like the cold. Okay, good for you. I'll be
2:19:12
Speaker 2: in Miami or California.
2:19:14
Speaker 5: I don't know.
2:19:15
Speaker 2: Not anymore. So then fast forward a year later, I'm
2:19:19
Speaker 2: talking to Bernie. Maybe a year to the day. And
2:19:23
Speaker 2: he says to me, you know, my wife loves Orlando.
2:19:27
Speaker 2: I have a timeshare by Disney. I think they still
2:19:30
Speaker 2: have it. Carol still goes. Now both of her kids
2:19:33
Speaker 2: are married. She's got two grandchildren. He goes, I'm thinking
2:19:37
Speaker 2: about Florida. I said, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. What happened?
2:19:40
Speaker 2: Last year, you were ready to move to Maine or
2:19:42
Speaker 2: New Hampshire. He goes, you know what, Sid? To be honest,
2:19:46
Speaker 2: as I'm getting older, I can't take the cold. That
2:19:48
Speaker 2: was Bernie. That was Bernie, the same guy who said,
2:19:51
Speaker 2: I love it when it snows. I love it. He goes,
2:19:54
Speaker 2: I think I'm going to Florida. I do. Now, of course, he...
2:19:57
Speaker 2: I tragically never had the chance. But he changed his mind.
2:20:01
Speaker 16: No, the snow will do it. Snow will definitely change
2:20:03
Speaker 16: your mind.
2:20:04
Speaker 2: Oh, it's awful.
2:20:05
Speaker 16: At the age we're at, no, it's not fun navigating, driving.
2:20:09
Speaker 8: Yeah, you're not going sledding anymore.
2:20:10
Speaker 2: No. No, it's stupid.
2:20:12
Speaker 16: But those states are beautiful. Maine and New Hampshire, they are.
2:20:15
Speaker 16: Maine is a beautiful spot.
2:20:17
Speaker 2: I've been there many times.
2:20:18
Speaker 16: Okay, well, you're staring at me like I'm talking.
2:20:21
Speaker 2: About, you know. When I first started doing syndicated radio
2:20:23
Speaker 2: with Scott Kaplan, going back to the late 1990s, We
2:20:27
Speaker 2: were on about 73 markets for both Sports Fan Radio
2:20:31
Speaker 2: Network and Joel Hollander, Westwood One. I think 73 with
2:20:36
Speaker 2: Sports Fan, maybe close to 80, believe it or not,
2:20:39
Speaker 2: with Westwood One, CBS. And Maine was one of our states.
2:20:45
Speaker 2: And there's a beautiful, beautiful... Ski resort in Maine. It's
2:20:51
Speaker 2: called Sugarloaf.
2:20:52
Speaker 10: Right.
2:20:52
Speaker 2: And we would do our shows every winter from at
2:20:56
Speaker 2: the very bottom of the ski slope outside of a
2:21:01
Speaker 2: place called Geppetto's, which still exists. It's the bar at Sugarloaf.
2:21:07
Speaker 2: And we loved it. We would go to those other
2:21:10
Speaker 2: places in Maine we wanted to. We did shows from Waterville.
2:21:13
Speaker 2: Is that right? I think so. Waterville.
2:21:15
Speaker 4: Right.
2:21:15
Speaker 2: Which is a very, very small town. We ended up
2:21:18
Speaker 2: doing shows in about four or five different cities in Maine,
2:21:21
Speaker 2: and we enjoyed it. And don't forget, I was with
2:21:23
Speaker 2: Imus on the days, Louis, when we go to New
2:21:26
Speaker 2: Hampshire with Chris Matthews. Chris Matthews standing right next to us. Boston,
2:21:33
Speaker 2: New Hampshire.
2:21:33
Speaker 16: Bangor, Maine.
2:21:34
Speaker 2: Bangor, Maine. Yeah, I was there for all those days.
2:21:37
Speaker 2: So I've seen the beauty of those states. They are beautiful.
2:21:40
Speaker 2: I just don't want to live there. Okay. I can't
2:21:42
Speaker 2: walk outside for four months.
2:21:44
Speaker 5: Yeah.
2:21:46
Speaker 2: I mean, you're right.
2:21:47
Speaker 8: You're right.
2:21:47
Speaker 2: Now, mind you, the hot states are no better. I
2:21:51
Speaker 2: lived in Florida for 16 years. There's about a four
2:21:54
Speaker 2: month span in Florida. We really can't go outside. You
2:21:57
Speaker 2: got to be in the air conditioning and then you're fine.
2:21:59
Speaker 2: You're fine. But it is gross. There's got to be
2:22:03
Speaker 2: a happy medium. The problem is the nicest climate in
2:22:08
Speaker 2: the country. It's not even close to San Diego.
2:22:11
Speaker 5: Right.
2:22:12
Speaker 2: But who the hell wants to go to California? Oh,
2:22:14
Speaker 2: my God, you got Becerra as the governor? I'm not
2:22:17
Speaker 2: talking about L.A. That's Nipia, but this is San Diego.
2:22:20
Speaker 2: It's boring. It is beautiful, though. You got seals.
2:22:24
Speaker 8: That's the first thing that comes to mind.
2:22:26
Speaker 5: Seals.
2:22:27
Speaker 2: Yeah. Seals are outside in the morning.
2:22:29
Speaker 8: Go to San Diego for the seals.
2:22:30
Speaker 2: Yeah, we got homeless. We got guys shooting drugs on
2:22:33
Speaker 2: 17th Street. They got seals in the morning. It's so beautiful.
2:22:38
Speaker 2: At least they're not protesting, probably. No, they're not protesting
2:22:41
Speaker 2: the seals. No, they're just sunning themselves. But that is
2:22:44
Speaker 2: the nicest climate in the country. That part of California
2:22:47
Speaker 2: is amazing.
2:22:47
Speaker 16: Yeah, 70s all the time.
2:22:48
Speaker 2: Yeah, every day. No humidity. 70-something degrees. You really can't
2:22:52
Speaker 2: beat it. Justin, where are you going to retire to?
2:22:55
Speaker 2: You're young yet, bud. I'll be long dead, but where
2:22:58
Speaker 2: will you retire to?
2:22:59
Speaker 8: Where am I going to retire to?
2:23:00
Speaker 5: Philly.
2:23:01
Speaker 2: Go to Philly. Go to Eagles.
2:23:02
Speaker 8: I'll probably just build an underground bunker somewhere. You know,
2:23:07
Speaker 8: some big forest.
2:23:08
Speaker 10: Yeah.
2:23:08
Speaker 22: You know, just find really the most secluded part of
2:23:13
Speaker 22: the country.
2:23:13
Speaker 2: Have you told your fiance this yet?
2:23:15
Speaker 8: No, it's like a doomsday bunker.
2:23:17
Speaker 2: Have you told her this?
2:23:18
Speaker 8: Because it's all coming to an end at some point.
2:23:19
Speaker 2: Is she going to be into this, you think?
2:23:21
Speaker 8: Yeah, canned foods. We'll have everything we need down there.
2:23:24
Speaker 16: Who wouldn't love that?
2:23:26
Speaker 2: Sounds great.
2:23:26
Speaker 8: We'll have an indoor pool.
2:23:28
Speaker 1: Sure.
2:23:34
Speaker 8: We'll have tanning beds. You can still get a nice tan.
2:23:37
Speaker 5: Oh, then I can live there.
2:23:37
Speaker 8: Yeah, exactly. A couple of football fields underground.
2:23:39
Speaker 2: See, then I'll visit if I'm alive.
2:23:41
Speaker 5: Yes.
2:23:41
Speaker 2: And you got a tanning bed, I'll come visit.
2:23:43
Speaker 8: If you're alive, yeah.
2:23:43
Speaker 5: If I'm alive. Yeah.
2:23:45
Speaker 2: Are you kidding? I won't be alive.
2:23:47
Speaker 1: Will you visit our graves at least?
2:23:49
Speaker 2: No, no, no, absolutely not.
2:23:50
Speaker 8: I'm not coming up. That's the point.
2:23:53
Speaker 2: Well, are we all going to be buried in the
2:23:54
Speaker 2: same cemetery? Me, Lou, and Norm?
2:23:57
Speaker 8: I certainly hope so.
2:23:57
Speaker 2: Because we're all very close to death, all of us.
2:24:00
Speaker 8: I certainly hope not.
2:24:01
Speaker 15: Why?
2:24:01
Speaker 2: Why would you want to have to go to three
2:24:03
Speaker 2: different cemeteries?
2:24:04
Speaker 10: Me?
2:24:05
Speaker 2: Well, I don't know. I haven't talked to Danielle about
2:24:08
Speaker 2: it yet. I think I'd be buried next to somebody
2:24:10
Speaker 2: in my family.
2:24:10
Speaker 22: I don't have to visit Lou on the same day
2:24:13
Speaker 22: I visit you.
2:24:14
Speaker 8: It would be easier.
2:24:15
Speaker 2: It would be easier.
2:24:23
Speaker 1: You could sit down and talk to all.
2:24:24
Speaker 2: Of us at the same time. Right, exactly.
2:24:25
Speaker 16: You could do like a fake show.
2:24:27
Speaker 7: Yeah.
2:24:28
Speaker 8: And then every time I visit, I could chip away
2:24:29
Speaker 8: on my hole.
2:24:30
Speaker 11: Right.
2:24:31
Speaker 8: I'm digging away my hole.
2:24:32
Speaker 2: You can bring up this segment. Remember, guys, I know
2:24:36
Speaker 2: you're all dead now, but 30 years ago, we talked
2:24:38
Speaker 2: about just this. So put a rock on Louie's grave.
2:24:41
Speaker 8: Yeah, a rock, not a flower. It's just a rock.
2:24:43
Speaker 2: And a rock on Noam's grave. And a nice flower
2:24:47
Speaker 2: on mine, if you wouldn't mind.
2:24:49
Speaker 16: And just say, you guys are the lucky.
2:24:51
Speaker 2: Ones right now. Yeah, right. He may be saying that.
2:24:55
Speaker 2: I worry about that for my children. You know, Justin's
2:24:57
Speaker 2: older than Ava and Gabriel. But I'm worried, man. This country,
2:25:01
Speaker 2: it's in terrible shape. And if you think that working
2:25:04
Speaker 2: with the Democrats is going to make it easier, I'm
2:25:07
Speaker 2: telling you, you're nuts. You're out of your mind. It
2:25:10
Speaker 2: ain't going to matter. It ain't going to help. They
2:25:12
Speaker 2: are lunatics.
2:25:13
Speaker 5: They are.
2:25:14
Speaker 2: Every one of their policies, every one of them makes
2:25:18
Speaker 2: your cities more dangerous, less affordable. Isn't that funny? They
2:25:25
Speaker 2: want an affordability. They caused all this. Not Iran. That's Trump.
2:25:30
Speaker 2: But the affordability crisis was in play well before we
2:25:35
Speaker 2: started the war with Iran, even though they started it
2:25:38
Speaker 2: 48 years ago. So I worry. I worry about my kids.
2:25:42
Speaker 2: I worry about Justin. Like I said, I'll be gone.
2:25:47
Speaker 2: I'll be watching the Giants with my dad somewhere. But
2:25:52
Speaker 2: these are serious times. You guys can yuck it up
2:25:55
Speaker 2: all you want and make it seem like it's going
2:25:57
Speaker 2: to be okay. And we're all going to work together.
2:25:58
Speaker 2: And it's going to be all this beautiful kumbaya. You
2:26:01
Speaker 2: guys are nuts. Remember what I'm telling you right now
2:26:04
Speaker 2: in two years.
2:26:05
Speaker 8: Hence my doomsday bunker.
2:26:07
Speaker 5: Yeah.
2:26:07
Speaker 8: It'll come in handy.
2:26:08
Speaker 2: All right, we've got to wrap this up.
2:26:10
Speaker 1: Happy Friday.
2:26:11
Speaker 2: What a good way to end. Sometimes you've got to
2:26:14
Speaker 2: be real, Norm. Sometimes you've got to be real.
2:26:17
Speaker 1: I thought I was going to drink a little this weekend,
2:26:19
Speaker 1: but I think it's changed.
2:26:20
Speaker 2: No, no, get really drunk. If I go back to drugs,
2:26:22
Speaker 2: whatever you used to do in the past, just do it.
2:26:26
Speaker 5: Just do it.
2:26:26
Speaker 2: It'll make it easier.
2:26:27
Speaker 16: Save some, please.
2:26:29
Speaker 2: Same spot for us in the bunker. Oh, here's Lou's
2:26:33
Speaker 2: spot in the bunker.
2:26:34
Speaker 1: He's above right now.
2:26:36
Speaker 2: He's above.
2:26:38
Speaker 3: Sid and friends in the morning on the Red Apple

2:26:47
Speaker 2: for the DOJ. So I hope my friend Harmeet Dhillon
2:26:50
Speaker 2: ends up. She's a great lawyer. She'll be fine. Harmeet,
