0:29
Speaker 1: How many days? 15. 15 days. Yeah. And is.

0:38
Speaker 1: The midterms.
0:38
Speaker 2: Yeah.
0:39
Speaker 1: It's you, Rita, Michael Cohen, right? Yes.
0:41
Speaker 2: Me, Rita, Michael Cohen, Jake Novak, and the judge sits in, too. And,
0:47
Speaker 2: you know, and we're saying we don't care if you're
0:50
Speaker 2: a Democrat. We don't care if you're an independent. We
0:52
Speaker 2: don't care if you're a Republican. Vote for common sense.
0:57
Speaker 2: And what is common sense? Something that's good. You know,
1:00
Speaker 2: the United States of America, we are a big melting pot.
1:04
Speaker 2: 185 different languages spoken. People come from all over the world.
1:11
Speaker 2: And the only requirement of Ellis Island, when I was
1:15
Speaker 2: involved in Ellis Island, the only requirement is you pledge
1:18
Speaker 2: allegiance to the flag and you go pro-America. You're not
1:26
Speaker 2: welcome here. If you're anti-American.
1:29
Speaker 1: Well, we got so many people that are.
1:31
Speaker 2: Well, our country was invaded during the Biden administration.
1:36
Speaker 1: Invaded.
1:37
Speaker 2: You know, and I've long time said, immigration, yes. We
1:42
Speaker 2: want immigrants that love America. Invasion, no.
1:47
Speaker 1: And, you know, we just had Charlie Gasparino on, and
1:49
Speaker 1: he said, when you look at Paris, okay, don't kid yourself.
1:53
Speaker 1: Part of the reason why Paris is burning today are
1:56
Speaker 1: their issues with immigration. You know, they've let in also
2:00
Speaker 1: a whole bunch of people, Europass, a whole bunch of people.
2:04
Speaker 2: That hates them as well. Well, you know, there's two
2:07
Speaker 2: categories of people that are going in. It's Muslims, and
2:11
Speaker 2: I'm not against Muslims. But what do you call it?
2:15
Speaker 1: Islamists? Radical Islam. Radical Islamists.
2:17
Speaker 2: Yes. In every race, every race, whether you're Greek, Italian, German,
2:24
Speaker 2: in every race, there's always that 3% to 5% of
2:27
Speaker 2: people that, well, can you say? They're nuts.
2:33
Speaker 1: They're nuts. But the problem is when you've got as
2:35
Speaker 1: many people, look, you know, we dance around the Muslim thing.
2:38
Speaker 1: The truth is. The only people lately that hijack planes
2:42
Speaker 1: are Muslims. They want to call them radical Islam. Islamists.
2:45
Speaker 1: They're Muslims. They're Muslims. But if they got billions of
2:49
Speaker 1: Muslims all over the world, that percentage.
2:51
Speaker 2: Five percent is a lot. That's a lot, John. Right.
2:54
Speaker 1: That's the problem.
2:55
Speaker 2: So, you know, the thing is, our leadership in the world,
3:00
Speaker 2: in the free world, our leadership. has to be smart
3:04
Speaker 2: enough to realize it.
3:05
Speaker 1: Well, Trump is.
3:05
Speaker 2: Macron, forget about it. He's going to give up France.
3:10
Speaker 2: France is going to lose their country. I mean, you know, Germans,
3:15
Speaker 2: I thought the Germans were smart people.
3:17
Speaker 1: No, no.
3:19
Speaker 2: I mean, until they met, what's her name, the prime
3:22
Speaker 2: minister that let all those people in.
3:25
Speaker 1: Markel, Angela Markel. No, Angela, yeah. Yeah, Markel. She destroyed Germany.
3:32
Speaker 1: But all those European countries are the same.
3:35
Speaker 2: At least the British realized it and did Brexit.
3:38
Speaker 1: Yeah, they did.
3:38
Speaker 2: Nobody admitted the reason for Brexit, except WABC. I said
3:43
Speaker 2: it from day one. The reason for Brexit was, well,
3:47
Speaker 2: it wasn't economic, is... We went from 67% British down
3:52
Speaker 2: to 47% British, and enough is enough. Now is the
3:56
Speaker 2: real reason for Brexit.
3:57
Speaker 1: That was. So I heard this this morning. Oil barrels
4:01
Speaker 1: going for as much as $ 110.
4:04
Speaker 2: Well, you know what's going on, Sid? You know, I'm
4:09
Speaker 2: right 90% of the time. Anybody that tells you they're
4:12
Speaker 2: right 100% of the time, they're liars. But when oil
4:16
Speaker 2: is at $ 100 a barrel, And what they're doing is
4:20
Speaker 2: they're playing ping pong with the oil amongst themselves to
4:24
Speaker 2: raise those prices. And, you know, they're making a zillion dollars.
4:28
Speaker 2: And you know what happened when Iran made the zillion dollars? Well,
4:32
Speaker 2: they used that excess money for terrorism.
4:35
Speaker 1: They did? You mean they didn't build schools or hospitals? Nothing.
4:39
Speaker 2: Did they take care of the people of Iran? No.
4:42
Speaker 2: All they did is terrorism, terrorism, terrorism.
4:45
Speaker 1: Hamas, Hezbollah, and Houthis.
4:47
Speaker 2: If we don't want this to happen to the United
4:50
Speaker 2: States of America, I'm telling every American out there, whether
4:54
Speaker 2: you're white, whether you're black, whether you're Asian, we want
4:58
Speaker 2: common sense in America. We want the America that we
5:00
Speaker 2: grew up on. And, you know, please go out, make
5:05
Speaker 2: sure you vote. If you don't vote, it's your fault.
5:08
Speaker 1: That's right. Then don't complain. Well, we're talking about the
5:11
Speaker 1: price of oil. I want to ask you, John, the
5:14
Speaker 1: great John Katzmatidis, the diesel deal, Trump is getting beat
5:18
Speaker 1: up a little bit by even Republicans for doing a
5:20
Speaker 1: deal with Putin. What is your thoughts on that?
5:22
Speaker 2: They're dumb. Ha! They're dumb.
5:25
Speaker 1: You know why?
5:27
Speaker 2: President Trump is doing what's best for the United States
5:29
Speaker 2: of America. He's not doing what's best for Ukraine. He's
5:33
Speaker 2: not doing what's best for Israel. He's doing what's best
5:37
Speaker 2: for the United States of America, and that's what he
5:39
Speaker 2: pledged allegiance to do. What's best for the United States
5:42
Speaker 2: of America, and we've got to bring the price of
5:45
Speaker 2: diesel fuel down.
5:47
Speaker 1: Bottom line.
5:47
Speaker 2: Bottom line.
5:48
Speaker 1: That's it. And he did, talking about Israel, he did...
5:51
Speaker 1: sent out a healthy endorsement yesterday for Bibi Netanyahu. I'll
5:55
Speaker 1: endorse him too. You know why?
5:58
Speaker 2: Trump and Netanyahu are the only ones with the courage
6:02
Speaker 2: to do anything about the craziness that's going on in
6:05
Speaker 2: this country.
6:05
Speaker 1: That's a great one.
6:06
Speaker 2: In the world.
6:07
Speaker 1: Right, but there are some people that are saying part
6:09
Speaker 1: of the motivation, John, behind Trump all of a sudden
6:13
Speaker 1: endorsing Bibi. He was always going to endorse him. I know,
6:16
Speaker 1: but they're saying that Barack Obama, because he's opened his
6:19
Speaker 1: mouth a lot the last week about Israel and Bibi,
6:22
Speaker 1: that really pissed off President Trump.
6:24
Speaker 2: You know, in retrospect, retrospect, The problems for the United
6:29
Speaker 2: States of America started with Barack Obama.
6:33
Speaker 1: A lot of them date back to him, right? Okay.
6:35
Speaker 2: Don't forget. I mean, how did Barack Obama become president?
6:40
Speaker 2: He went from state senator to president in four years.
6:45
Speaker 2: That doesn't happen.
6:46
Speaker 1: No.
6:47
Speaker 2: Who helped him? I want every American out there to
6:52
Speaker 2: scratch their head. Who helped him? When he went over
6:56
Speaker 2: to Saudi Arabia... He kissed the ring of the king. Yes.
7:03
Speaker 1: Okay.
7:04
Speaker 2: Who helped him? Barack Obama was a poor kid from Chicago.
7:10
Speaker 2: Where did the money come from for his education?
7:13
Speaker 1: All good questions.
7:14
Speaker 2: Okay.
7:14
Speaker 1: Barack Hussein. Okay. Obama. All right.
7:17
Speaker 2: In addition, look, I tried to like him. I had
7:20
Speaker 2: a good, decent relationship with him, but I, my first
7:25
Speaker 2: love is the United States of America. And my kids
7:28
Speaker 2: and grandkids' future.
7:29
Speaker 1: God bless. And that's all it is. That's it. Now,
7:31
Speaker 1: your second love, though, is Greece. And Greece made a
7:34
Speaker 1: lot of news last week. You and I talked about
7:36
Speaker 1: this last week. A lot of news. Before, when they
7:39
Speaker 1: were considering, because I know that President Trump did it,
7:41
Speaker 1: but Marco Rubio was even more upset than the president.
7:44
Speaker 1: They fired Kimberly. They gave her a chance to resign.
7:47
Speaker 1: I've done that, too. In essence, they fired her. What
7:49
Speaker 1: do you think about Kimberly Guilfoyle out?
7:52
Speaker 2: Well, there's two things. There's two roads. There's always two roads, Sid. One...
7:57
Speaker 2: She's guilty. One, that somebody politically, it's October. The October
8:04
Speaker 2: surprise that she is being bamboozled. The truth is, I
8:10
Speaker 2: don't know what the truth is. I pray that it's political.
8:14
Speaker 2: Did you speak to her? I spoke to her several times. Okay.
8:18
Speaker 2: And let the FBI do their job. If she's guilty,
8:24
Speaker 2: she's guilty. If she's innocent and they're trying to affect
8:28
Speaker 2: the elections, the people that created that dissent, that created that,
8:34
Speaker 2: should go to jail.
8:35
Speaker 1: They should go to jail. So are you considering now
8:38
Speaker 1: becoming the ambassador to Greece? Absolutely not. Why?
8:41
Speaker 2: I am dedicated to New York. I am dedicated to America.
8:44
Speaker 2: I'm not going anywhere.
8:45
Speaker 1: Did you see the house? Did you see your house?
8:47
Speaker 2: I don't give a damn. I don't give a damn.
8:50
Speaker 2: I love New York. I love America. And this is
8:53
Speaker 2: where I'm staying. And I'm dedicated to having a better
8:56
Speaker 2: life for my kids and grandkids.
8:58
Speaker 1: I love that about you. And you mean that. You're
8:59
Speaker 1: a good man. I really mean it. You're a good man.
9:01
Speaker 1: But when you say you love New York, I do too.
9:04
Speaker 1: Why else would we stay here? And I got to
9:06
Speaker 1: tell you, I'm upset about what the mayor and the
9:08
Speaker 1: city council are about to do. And that is wipe
9:11
Speaker 1: out the whole horse and carriage industry. You may feel differently.
9:14
Speaker 1: It's part of the ambiance in New York. Thank you.
9:17
Speaker 2: It's part of the ambience in New York. And what?
9:19
Speaker 2: I tell the U.S. attorney, I'm giving him notice right now,
9:23
Speaker 2: check and see what lobbyists supported getting rid of the horses.
9:28
Speaker 1: You know why? Why?
9:30
Speaker 2: They own all those buildings on 11th Avenue where the
9:33
Speaker 2: stables are, and they want to build skyscrapers where those
9:36
Speaker 2: stables are, so they want to kill the horses so
9:40
Speaker 2: that they're no longer.
9:43
Speaker 1: That's my opinion.
9:43
Speaker 3: No, no, no.
9:44
Speaker 1: That's what I understand. It's not your opinion. You're a
9:46
Speaker 1: thousand percent right. Say it again. What's the real reason?
9:49
Speaker 2: The real estate guys that own those stables in 11th Avenue,
9:53
Speaker 2: 12th Avenue, wherever they are. They want to get rid
9:57
Speaker 2: of the horses. The ambience in New York, they want
10:00
Speaker 2: to get rid of part of it. I want to
10:01
Speaker 2: know who they paid off. And let the U.S. attorney
10:05
Speaker 2: do their job because I'm not sure the local DAs
10:07
Speaker 2: will do their job.
10:08
Speaker 1: No, they're not going to.
10:09
Speaker 2: And let the U.S. attorney do their job and find
10:11
Speaker 2: out what the heck happened.
10:13
Speaker 1: Well, you just said what happened. It's all about real
10:15
Speaker 1: estate money. One more for you. Man, you're on fire.
10:17
Speaker 1: You're going to be awesome today at 5 o'clock too.
10:20
Speaker 1: I know you spent some time with Cardinal Dolan last week. Oh,
10:23
Speaker 1: he's a wonderful man. Isn't he a great guy?
10:25
Speaker 2: And let me tell you something. I went to the
10:28
Speaker 2: Al Smith dinner. We honored Cardinal Dolan. And we honored
10:33
Speaker 2: Jessica Tish. She got three.
10:35
Speaker 1: She was funny.
10:36
Speaker 2: Well, she got three stand-up ovations.
10:38
Speaker 1: She was funny.
10:39
Speaker 2: I mean, just because she wants to be mayor and
10:41
Speaker 2: her dad is worth $ 12 billion, that doesn't mean anything.
10:44
Speaker 1: Is that the worst-kept secret now that she wants to
10:46
Speaker 1: be mayor? The worst-kept secret.
10:48
Speaker 2: Cardinal Dolan was the honoree. Saturday night at the Greek Orthodox, uh, uh,
10:53
Speaker 2: big Greek Orthodox dinner. Uh, Cardinal Dolan was the honoree. Uh,
10:58
Speaker 2: Wednesday night, the Jewish dinner that Kraft is having honoring
11:03
Speaker 2: Brian Moynihan.
11:05
Speaker 1: Uh, you're welcome. Is that this Wednesday? Wednesday. I got
11:08
Speaker 1: something with Suzanne Miller and Bruce Blakeman. Well, we all
11:11
Speaker 1: have that too.
11:12
Speaker 2: Right. You're going to do both? I'm going to, I'm
11:13
Speaker 2: going to do double coupons.
11:15
Speaker 1: Could I do both then? Absolutely. I mean, I love Kraft.
11:17
Speaker 2: But, uh, And in addition, I'm taking Cardinal Dolan to
11:23
Speaker 2: Buffalo on our airplane. There's a big celebration for Cardinal
11:27
Speaker 2: Dolan in Buffalo Friday. I won't be here Friday. Now,
11:33
Speaker 2: all that said, it's not Archbishop Hicks' fault. The Pope
11:40
Speaker 2: made the selection. He called the shots.
11:42
Speaker 1: Right.
11:43
Speaker 2: And Archbishop Hicks has to do what.
11:45
Speaker 1: He has to do. Of course he's going to say yes.
11:46
Speaker 2: And I am happy. to say that it looks like
11:50
Speaker 2: Archbishop Hicks and Cardinal Dolan are getting.
11:53
Speaker 1: Along very well. They're good friends, yeah. Which is good
11:55
Speaker 1: for the Catholic Church.
11:56
Speaker 2: Agreed. And it's good overall. They're both... Look, we love
12:01
Speaker 2: Dolan because we know him forever.
12:02
Speaker 1: He's Mr. New York.
12:03
Speaker 2: Come on. And Archbishop Hicks, we root for him to
12:07
Speaker 2: become as successful as Cardinal Dolan is.
12:10
Speaker 1: But there were people, and I was one of them,
12:12
Speaker 1: you more than me, that were really upset with Pope
12:14
Speaker 1: Leo when he did what he did to Cardinal Dolan, but...
12:17
Speaker 1: Coming off of what he went through with the lung surgery,
12:19
Speaker 1: you got to be happy for Pope Leo that he's
12:21
Speaker 1: going to be okay.
12:22
Speaker 2: Yes, absolutely. You know what I thought? Part of my thing,
12:25
Speaker 2: back in my head, they're trying to get rid of him. Yeah.
12:29
Speaker 1: I thought that too for a second.
12:29
Speaker 2: You thought that too, huh?
12:31
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah.
12:31
Speaker 2: Is that the way they handle things in Italy or Vatican?
12:35
Speaker 1: Once in a while.
12:37
Speaker 2: We lost a few popes like that, right?
12:39
Speaker 1: We lost a couple once in a while. I thought
12:41
Speaker 1: about that too. Well, they cut out half as long
12:43
Speaker 1: or something. They did. They did. But he's going to
12:45
Speaker 1: be okay, I think. I think he's going to be okay. Listen,
12:48
Speaker 1: we wish him good luck and we wish him, you know.
12:51
Speaker 1: You know, even Trump went back and forth with the pope.
12:54
Speaker 1: But Trump was very, very kind. You have a meeting
12:56
Speaker 1: at 9 o'clock. You have to go. 15 days away
12:59
Speaker 1: on the way out, John Katsimatidis. You tell me. Give
13:02
Speaker 1: me your honest feeling. Not what you want. Honestly, how
13:05
Speaker 1: do you feel about these midterms?
13:06
Speaker 2: I think at the end of the day, the American
13:09
Speaker 2: people have to vote for common sense. Don't vote for
13:16
Speaker 2: fights in the streets. Don't vote for, you know... Vote
13:21
Speaker 2: for law and order. Vote for your kids and grandkids.
13:26
Speaker 2: Have some common sense. Don't support the nut jobs. And
13:31
Speaker 2: that's what it comes down to.
13:32
Speaker 1: That's simple.
13:33
Speaker 2: It's very simple.
13:34
Speaker 1: That's it.
13:35
Speaker 2: And we love America. God loves America. And at the
13:39
Speaker 2: end of the day, I believe that the common sense Democrats...
13:43
Speaker 2: I want every common sense Democrat. I was a common
13:46
Speaker 2: sense Democrat one time, too, and you were, too.
13:48
Speaker 1: I was.
13:48
Speaker 2: I was a Bill Clinton Democrat. Me, too. Ed Koch.
13:51
Speaker 2: I loved Ed Koch.
13:53
Speaker 1: Yeah, Ed Koch. We all loved Ed Koch. Yeah.
13:55
Speaker 2: I urge every American out there, whatever you're doing, make
14:00
Speaker 2: sure you vote and you vote for common sense.
14:02
Speaker 1: Good advice. Final 30 seconds. You may be the most
14:05
Speaker 1: powerful man in New York, but you can prove it
14:07
Speaker 1: only one way, John Katsimatidis.
14:09
Speaker 3: One way.
14:10
Speaker 1: If you are the most powerful man in New York,
14:13
Speaker 1: could you make a call tomorrow morning, game day, to
14:16
Speaker 1: be inside Madison Square Garden tomorrow night when the Knicks
14:20
Speaker 1: raise the banner for the first time since 1973?
14:22
Speaker 2: Wow.
14:26
Speaker 1: I am so happy for that.
14:28
Speaker 2: I am so disappointed that ever since George Steinbrenner died,
14:33
Speaker 2: we haven't won a World Series.
14:35
Speaker 1: Not one. I know.
14:36
Speaker 2: And you love the Yankees.
14:37
Speaker 1: I love the Yankees.
14:38
Speaker 2: Randy Levine loves you. I still love the Yankees. Yes.
14:41
Speaker 2: And I'm a Yankee fan since I was... Since I
14:44
Speaker 2: knew what the word Yankees were, when my grandfather took
14:47
Speaker 2: me to Yankee Stadium, I was six years old.
14:49
Speaker 1: And you loved Mickey Mantle, didn't you? In 1954. And
14:51
Speaker 1: you loved Mantle, didn't you?
14:52
Speaker 2: Yeah, I remember my grandfather said to me, he says,
14:54
Speaker 2: I love that guy.
14:55
Speaker 1: Number seven.
14:56
Speaker 2: Yep.
14:56
Speaker 1: Are you friends with Jim Dolan? We know each other.
15:00
Speaker 2: Uh, and, um, uh, you know, we tried to buy
15:03
Speaker 2: the news day and, uh, and then, uh, a funny
15:07
Speaker 2: thing happened to us on the way to buying news day. Uh,
15:10
Speaker 2: and a funny thing was that they sold the, uh,
15:13
Speaker 2: the cable company for $ 17 billion.
15:15
Speaker 1: Oh my God. So $ 17 billion was, uh, a lot
15:19
Speaker 1: of money. That's a lot of money may take you
15:21
Speaker 1: out of the game at that point. Absolutely. I never
15:23
Speaker 1: really knew what Jim, I had the first chance to
15:25
Speaker 1: really hang out with him. with Bruce Blakeman Thursday night.
15:27
Speaker 1: He put on a fundraiser for Bruce at the Garden,
15:29
Speaker 1: and I was there. Well, there's stuff happening.
15:32
Speaker 2: I think the election for governor is a lot closer
15:36
Speaker 2: than people think. I can't figure something out, Sid. Last week,
15:43
Speaker 2: the statistics were that Bruce was sitting on $ 178, 000. And
15:49
Speaker 2: Kathy Hochul, Governor Hochul, was sitting on $ 19 million.
15:52
Speaker 1: You say $ 178, 000? $ 178, 000. That's not true.
15:54
Speaker 2: No, that's what I was told. It's just statistics. What statistics?
16:01
Speaker 2: You look it up.
16:02
Speaker 1: When we go to break, I'll tell you the truth. Okay.
16:05
Speaker 2: And I'm sure there's other PACs and things like that. Yeah,
16:08
Speaker 2: of course. But Governor Hochul, who I saw at the
16:12
Speaker 2: Al Smith dinner, she's sitting on $ 19 million. And all
16:17
Speaker 2: of a sudden, over the weekend, The Democratic PAC, National PAC,
16:23
Speaker 2: dumps in a panic $ 4. 5 million into the governor's campaign.
16:29
Speaker 2: So I said to John McLaughlin, why?
16:32
Speaker 1: If she says it's.
16:33
Speaker 2: Hitting on $ 19 million, what's going on with that money?
16:37
Speaker 2: And how come the Democratic PAC... puts $ 4. 5 million in
16:41
Speaker 2: emergency money into the campaign. And I have no clue.
16:44
Speaker 1: They're nervous.
16:44
Speaker 2: But I just think, I just think the, look, whoever wins, wins.
16:49
Speaker 2: I just think that the election is very close.
16:52
Speaker 1: I'll tell you this. What else is close? I don't
16:53
Speaker 1: know if you saw the email, but I saw the email.
16:55
Speaker 1: Letitia James.
16:57
Speaker 2: Panic.
16:57
Speaker 1: Sent an email to our people and said, you know what?
17:00
Speaker 1: After the debate, the Republican challenger is doing better than
17:03
Speaker 1: we thought. We need money. That was the email Letitia
17:06
Speaker 1: James sent out after Saritha gave her a beating on
17:10
Speaker 1: television last week. That's close.
17:12
Speaker 2: Saritha is a smart lady. Yes. And the problem is.
17:20
Speaker 2: If you gave the next thousand people that walk by
17:24
Speaker 2: the studio here, if you ask them their name, nobody
17:28
Speaker 2: remembers their name.
17:29
Speaker 1: I totally agree. James is still a big, big, big name.
17:32
Speaker 1: Big name. You're 100% right.
