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

Speaker 34: Starting the Bronx, Yankees lost 5-1 in their rubber game
Speaker 34: finale against the Astros. They dropped that three-game set to Houston.
Speaker 34: George Lombard Jr. registered his seventh error in 20 games,
Speaker 34: becoming the first Yankee shortstop since Roger Peckinpah in 1915
Speaker 34: to commit.
Speaker 21: An error in six straight games.
Speaker 34: They weren't using gloves back then, by the way, mind you.
Speaker 34: Starter Garrett Cole allowed three runs and six hits in
Speaker 34: six innings.
Speaker 21: He struck out five.
Speaker 34: Ben Rice scored New York's lone run on a sag
Speaker 34: fly by Cody Bellinger in the sixth. Up next for
Speaker 34: the Yankees, they're heading into a pivotal four-game series against
Speaker 34: the rival Red Sox. They've lost for only the third
Speaker 34: time in ten games. New York Trails first place Tampa
Speaker 34: Bay by four games in the AL East. It leads
Speaker 34: Boston by two for the top American League wild card.
Speaker 34: Cam Schlittler will get the start tonight in game one
Speaker 34: of three against Boston. First pitch from Yankee Stadium is
Speaker 34: scheduled for 7.15 p.m.
Speaker 21: In Queens.
Speaker 34: The Mets got beat up 8-2 in their rubber game
Speaker 34: series finale against the Brewers. Starter Sean Mania gave up
Speaker 34: six runs and eight hits in five and two-thirds innings.
Speaker 21: As Milwaukee took two of three.
Speaker 34: In the series, up next for the Mets, Christian Scott
Speaker 34: starts tonight with the Mets sticking it home, getting set
Speaker 34: to welcome in the aforementioned Astros for the opener of
Speaker 34: a three-game weekend series. First pitch from Citi Field, scheduled
Speaker 34: for 7-10 p.m. Jets and Giants tonight, you heard Sid
Speaker 34: mention it. They'll go up against each other for their
Speaker 34: annual preseason football game coming up tonight, wrapping out both
Speaker 34: of their preseason schedules. Giants are a three-and-a-half-point technical road.
Speaker 34: Favorites headed into that one. 7.30 p.m. Star Packers running
Speaker 34: back Josh Jacobs. He's in trouble as well charged yesterday
Speaker 34: with misdemeanor battery and misdemeanor criminal damage to property.
Speaker 21: According to Wisconsin court records, former.
Speaker 34: Charges came more than three months after he was arrested
Speaker 34: following an alleged domestic violence incident at his home near
Speaker 34: Green Bay. According to that complaint, each charge, both class
Speaker 34: A misdemeanors, that can go for a $ 10, 000 fine on
Speaker 34: both of them or nine months in prison or both
Speaker 34: if he is convicted. So he's in quite a bit
Speaker 34: of trouble here, Jacobs. The NFL doing their own investigation.
Speaker 34: They're conducting that as we speak, and suspension could be
Speaker 34: around the corner for the Packers. Running back is a
Speaker 34: big part of that offense. So if you're Josh Jacobs'
Speaker 34: fantasy owner out there, Maybe I would start looking at
Speaker 34: backup options. That's your sport, sponsored by Pete Morgan and

Speaker 1: Morning on the Red Apple Podcast Network.
Speaker 2: On that big day coming up, October the 22nd, at
Speaker 2: the Rainbow Room, Rockefeller Center, when I'm inducted into the
Speaker 2: New York State Broadcasters Hall of Fame. Just so happens
Speaker 2: that Rosanna is going in with me. She's one of
Speaker 2: the seven people that will make it into the hall
Speaker 2: that day. And we've been friendly for many, many, many years.
Speaker 2: And I told you the story that when her father
Speaker 2: was deathly ill years ago, I actually called Rosanna. She
Speaker 2: was in the Hamptons. And I said, I'm going to
Speaker 2: go to St. Patrick's Cathedral today and make a prayer
Speaker 2: for your father. And I did it. He did pass.
Speaker 2: He was a wonderful guy, wonderful guy. But we found
Speaker 2: out a couple of days ago now that her mom
Speaker 2: has also passed, which is terrible. I got a text
Speaker 2: last night from Rosanna's daughter, Jenna. Sweet girl. Met her
Speaker 2: a bunch of times. Very sweet. And I guess, I'm
Speaker 2: not sure if this is open to the public. My
Speaker 2: guess is it is. I've asked. They haven't gotten back
Speaker 2: to me. They're going to have a celebration of Marion
Speaker 2: Scotto's life. Rosanna Scotto's mom, Marion, God bless her. And
Speaker 2: it all comes your way this Wednesday. Well, next Wednesday,
Speaker 2: I guess. Not this Wednesday. Next Wednesday, I'll be in Dallas. Wednesday,
Speaker 2: September the 9th from 5 to 8 p.m. at Fresco
Speaker 2: by Scotto, which, as you guys know, is a very,
Speaker 2: very popular eatery. Great place. Great food. A lot of fun.
Speaker 2: They dance. They have a blast. 34 East 52nd Street.
Speaker 2: What a park here in New York City. A celebration
Speaker 2: of Marion Scotto's life. God rest her soul, the beautiful
Speaker 2: mom of Rosanna Scotto. Wednesday night, September the 9th at Fresco. Okay,
Speaker 2: we've got about five or six amazing guests stopping by.
Speaker 2: Big names coming up this hour with Scott Jennings from
Speaker 2: CNN on his way to Vegas, in which Larry, take
Speaker 2: a quick break. When we get back, he is the
Speaker 2: editor of the National Review.
Speaker 10: Sid and Friends in the Morning on the Red Apple
Speaker 10: Podcast Network.
Speaker 2: Rich Lowry is the editor of the National Review. He's
Speaker 2: on this show every week because he's great. He's brilliant
Speaker 2: and he's my friend. I love him. Rich, good morning, buddy.
Speaker 2: How are you?
Speaker 35: Good, Sidney.
Speaker 8: How are you?
Speaker 2: I'm doing great. We find out yesterday, Rich, that Mom Donnie,
Speaker 2: of course, is still adamant about going to the 9-11 ceremonies.
Speaker 2: And despite the fact that, you know, the local channel
Speaker 2: 7 News goes crazy. A select group don't want him there.
Speaker 2: No dummies. The majority don't want him there. But he's going.
Speaker 2: We know he's going. But Trump is not. Trump is
Speaker 2: going to the Pentagon.
Speaker 5: J.D.
Speaker 2: Vance is coming to New York. Last time Trump was here,
Speaker 2: I guess, was 2024 when he was campaigning. What are
Speaker 2: your thoughts on who's coming and who's not?
Speaker 35: Well, I think it'd be great if the president were there,
Speaker 35: but the Pentagon was a serious attack as well. Momdami
Speaker 35: shouldn't be there, but as we've discussed for weeks now,
Speaker 35: he's going to be there. It would be the graceful
Speaker 35: thing just to bow out, but he's not going to
Speaker 35: do that. So there we are.
Speaker 2: He's not going to do it. There's no chance, right?
Speaker 27: No, zero.
Speaker 2: Yeah, zero chance.
Speaker 35: It would be a concession to his critics. I'm sure
Speaker 35: they'd see it as though he is admitting something that
Speaker 35: he doesn't want to admit.
Speaker 2: Right, right, right, right, right. You know, it's interesting. This
Speaker 2: Hassan Piker, who is a guy that said America deserved
Speaker 2: 9-11 and Mamdani sat there and offered no pushback. Zero.
Speaker 2: He was a guest on the podcast. Piker said it.
Speaker 2: Piker has since apologized for that, but who cares? That's
Speaker 2: how he really feels. You know that. But there seems
Speaker 2: to be this fracture going on now, Rich, in this
Speaker 2: Democrat party. Abdul El-Sayed out in Michigan, who was another
Speaker 2: DSA guy, no matter what he says, he's a DSA guy.
Speaker 2: He's like, no, no, I'm not with Piker. So there
Speaker 2: are some of these Democrats now that are distancing themselves
Speaker 2: from Hassan Piker. To me, he's still the face of
Speaker 2: the left, which includes everybody from Chuck Schumer to Chevalier.
Speaker 2: But there are some that are saying, no, thanks.
Speaker 35: Yeah, clearly kind of a memo went out after this
Speaker 35: last statement saying that all of American Jews got to
Speaker 35: watch out and watch for their safety if they say
Speaker 35: they're with Israel. So El-Sayed isn't playing this game, kind
Speaker 35: of dancing around. He issued a statement distancing himself from
Speaker 35: that statement without naming Piker. And he keeps on acting
Speaker 35: as though he never met Piker. The race shouldn't be
Speaker 35: about Piker. He repeatedly campaigned with him, including saying, On
Speaker 35: the last night, on election night, he was with Hassan Piker.
Speaker 35: So clearly they have a huge overlap of views. Now,
Speaker 35: I don't think that's true of Chuck Schumer, even though
Speaker 35: I have no use for Chuck Schumer. But clearly Piker
Speaker 35: is the media embodiment, new media embodiment of the DSA,
Speaker 35: deeply illiberal, viciously anti-Zionist, and basically in favor of political violence.
Speaker 2: Yeah, basically. So I was talking to Brian Kilmeade the
Speaker 2: other day, too, about the, you know, the presidential in 2028.
Speaker 2: I know we're all stuck on the midterms right now,
Speaker 2: which we need to be. That's where the focus needs
Speaker 2: to be. November, a couple of months this year. That's
Speaker 2: why we've got this big midterm convention coming up in Dallas,
Speaker 2: which I'll be at first time ever they're doing that.
Speaker 2: And that's part of the reason why I'm going to Vegas,
Speaker 2: to also talk about the midterms. So we know the midterms,
Speaker 2: that's the focus right now. But Don't kid yourself. A
Speaker 2: lot of folks are looking towards 2028 when it really
Speaker 2: is all over for President Trump. And it seems like
Speaker 2: Rich Lowry, J.D. Vance will be the anointed one. He'll
Speaker 2: be the one. But people say you don't know. You know,
Speaker 2: the numbers are coming back and they're not very good
Speaker 2: for Vance. Maybe he bows out. Maybe at that point,
Speaker 2: Marco Rubio decides to jump in because I guess the.
Speaker 2: The consensus is that Rubio and Vance are buddies, and
Speaker 2: if Trump wants Vance to do it, that Rubio won't
Speaker 2: do it. You hear other names like Ron DeSantis and
Speaker 2: Glenn Youngkin pops up there, too, and Hawley out of Missouri.
Speaker 2: But what are your thoughts on what we may see
Speaker 2: in 2028?
Speaker 35: So continue to expect. And you're right, this is going
Speaker 35: to start immediately. It's like three months away. Right after midterms,
Speaker 35: this will really begin in earnest. I think there's no
Speaker 35: way J.D. Vance doesn't run. And I think it's very
Speaker 35: likely he gets the nomination. But even coronations are competitive.
Speaker 35: Hillary is supposed to be coronated in 2016, but Sanders
Speaker 35: gave her a serious challenge. Going way back, Al Gore
Speaker 35: was basically coronated in 2000, but Bill Bradley gave him
Speaker 35: a race initially. So I expect it will be competitive.
Speaker 35: I doubt Rubio will run. I think Ted Cruz will run.
Speaker 35: Rand Paul will run. Maybe Youngkin will run. Maybe Brian Kemp,
Speaker 35: the former governor of Georgia, runs and a couple others.
Speaker 35: But I think it's going to be hard. If Vance
Speaker 35: has Trump's explicit or even implicit support, I think it's
Speaker 35: going to be hard. You know, we saw down in
Speaker 35: South Carolina, he basically created Darlene Graham out of nothing
Speaker 35: and got her over the finish line. So his support
Speaker 35: is going to be hugely important in 28 for a
Speaker 35: Republican nominee.
Speaker 2: He's been huge. Almost all of his candidates win, all
Speaker 2: of them. And the guys that go against him, Cassidy, Massey,
Speaker 2: they get murdered. So clearly Trump... You never hear of
Speaker 2: them again. Right. I mean, clearly Trump still has a massive,
Speaker 2: I mean, massive amount of power. What's interesting to see
Speaker 2: Ted Cruz come out this week, and he's like, I
Speaker 2: want to be president. That's it. Yes. I want to
Speaker 2: be president. And guess what? I'm ready. Guess who's not? J.D.
Speaker 9: Vance.
Speaker 2: He actually said he's not ready. How about that?
Speaker 35: Yeah. So Cruz is just telling people what... what he's
Speaker 35: saying publicly, what he's told everyone privately every day of
Speaker 35: his adult life. He wants to be president of the
Speaker 35: United States. He's going to run. He really, if you
Speaker 35: want someone who hates the trend on the right in
Speaker 35: terms of the anti-Semitism and or anti-Zionism as much as
Speaker 35: you do, it's Ted Cruz. I mean, he's extremely sincere
Speaker 35: about it, a really brilliant guy, but it's going to
Speaker 35: be an uphill battle.
Speaker 2: I think you're right. So I keep asking, like I
Speaker 2: did throughout the whole election period, between Trump and Biden
Speaker 2: and other races, what do you think is going to
Speaker 2: happen with the midterms as we draw close? I'm going
Speaker 2: to do this every single week, which, Larry, until we
Speaker 2: get to November, what are you feeling today about the
Speaker 2: House and the Senate?
Speaker 35: Unfortunately, I think the House is a fairly easy proposition,
Speaker 35: unless there's some shocker. I think Kim Jeffrey is going
Speaker 35: to be Speaker of the House next year.
Speaker 2: Oh, my God.
Speaker 35: I hate to put it in such stark terms, but
Speaker 35: I think the Senate is kind of 50-50. The most
Speaker 35: important race is clearly Michigan in all sorts of ways,
Speaker 35: because if Democrats lose that seat, it becomes really hard
Speaker 35: to take the Senate, and it would be so important
Speaker 35: politically to step on the head of the snake up there.
Speaker 35: But all these red states that should be in the
Speaker 35: bag are really close, and it's foreseeable Republicans could lose
Speaker 35: a lot of them. Texas up in the air, Ohio, Iowa,
Speaker 35: Nebraska is even close, Alaska, Dan Sullivan, I think is
Speaker 35: a great senator, is behind there. So if Democrats are
Speaker 35: taking the Senate, they're doing it through the red states.
Speaker 35: In a normal year, you'd say there's no way it's
Speaker 35: going to happen. I'd say it's about a 50-50 chance.
Speaker 2: Jeez, that's not great news. You know, I was talking
Speaker 2: to Charlie Gasparino the other day, and we were talking
Speaker 2: about Iran, and this Canada thing. He said, it's got
Speaker 2: to stop. It's not good. It's not good for us.
Speaker 2: It's not good for Mark Carney in Canada. We're going
Speaker 2: to get hurt here in states like Michigan. And Kilmeade
Speaker 2: said the same thing, that this U.S.-Canada thing will hurt us.
Speaker 2: in some of our own states, including states which manufacture cars, obviously.
Speaker 2: But now it's gotten to a new level. Now Lake
Speaker 2: Ontario is Lake America. So it doesn't seem like at
Speaker 2: least Trump and Corny are willing to calm down anytime soon.
Speaker 2: But most of the folks that I talk to, they
Speaker 2: think this is silly and doesn't help anybody. I'm with them.
Speaker 35: Canada may be annoying, and they may have bad practices,
Speaker 35: trade practices on a couple things. There's no way it
Speaker 35: can't be worked out reasonably. I just think the first
Speaker 35: time Trump said he was going to make them the
Speaker 35: 51st state, I thought it was kind of funny, and
Speaker 35: then he never should have said it again. But instead,
Speaker 35: he's pissed them off and disrespected and insulted and humiliated them.
Speaker 35: Mark Carney probably wins up there in the election last year,
Speaker 35: whatever it was, because of Trump. And so Trump kills
Speaker 35: the conservative up there, and then he gets this guy
Speaker 35: he's going to hate. And now he hates him, predictably,
Speaker 35: and won this trade war that makes zero sense.
Speaker 2: Ay-yi-yi, what a mess. Well, the good news is the
Speaker 2: weekend's here, and Aaron George is coming back soon, Rich.
Speaker 2: How about that?
Speaker 35: Well, let's hope he gets to 100% really quickly. Because,
Speaker 35: you know, if we have Judge, you could squint the
Speaker 35: right way, and we're a World Series team. I don't
Speaker 35: think we're a championship team, but the The American League
Speaker 35: is so weak. But this team has been brutal to
Speaker 35: watch at times. Last night was another one. Half our
Speaker 35: game since the All-Star break, they scored one out of
Speaker 35: four hits.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know. It's like two to one every night.
Speaker 2: They scored eight two nights ago. It was like a
Speaker 2: big party. But they can pitch like nobody. And I'm
Speaker 2: with you. The American League is not very good. So
Speaker 2: we'll see. The Dodgers are still damn good, obviously. There's
Speaker 2: probably two or three teams inside the National League that
Speaker 2: are the best teams in baseball. Brewers. Brewers, damn good.
Speaker 2: Killed the Mets yesterday. Even the Phillies. They play much
Speaker 2: better baseball, but I wouldn't count the Yankees out just yet.
Speaker 2: Rich Lowry, as always, amazing job, brother. Have a great weekend.
Speaker 2: You too. All right, the editor of the National Review
Speaker 2: right there, my dear friend Rich Lowry. That wraps up
Speaker 2: the 7 o'clock hour, officially the 6 o'clock hour, excuse me.
Speaker 2: 7 o'clock hour, about to come your way with two
Speaker 2: great guests. We will talk to KT McFarlane late in
Speaker 2: the hour and CNN superstar and maybe, just maybe, the
Speaker 2: next White House press secretary... Sid.
Speaker 10: And Friends in the Morning on the Red Apple Podcast Network.
Speaker 2: Is Monday September 1st? Is that right? I think so, right?
Speaker 5: I think so.
Speaker 2: What's today's date?
Speaker 21: No, it's the 31st. You've got 31 days in this month.
Speaker 2: So Tuesday, September 1st. Okay, right. That's the day that
Speaker 2: I actually return from Vegas. Okay. Either way, man, August
Speaker 2: is out the house.
Speaker 21: Out the house. Summer's over.
Speaker 13: That's it.
Speaker 21: It's over.
Speaker 2: You know, I was walking down the other night, walking
Speaker 2: home from La Sorrentina, Louis, and walking down between 129
Speaker 2: to my house, a couple of blocks, you know. And
Speaker 2: I said to Gabriel a couple of nights ago, too,
Speaker 2: this was not the night I was with you, Louis,
Speaker 2: doing the same exact walk. I said, doesn't it seem
Speaker 2: like yesterday we made this walk? And the streets to
Speaker 2: the right, to the left, had snow piled like seven
Speaker 2: feet high. We had ice glaciers at the beginning of
Speaker 2: just about every block for a good, I don't know,
Speaker 2: 20 blocks. Had to walk through the ice glacier, not
Speaker 2: go too far to your right or your left or
Speaker 2: you would slip on the snow. And then I distinctly
Speaker 2: remember coming into the city, One Sunday afternoon, very treacherous,
Speaker 2: NFL playoff football, car pulls up, snow is coming down
Speaker 2: like three inches an hour. There's Gene and Lewis. And
Speaker 2: we're going into the city because the next day, that Monday,
Speaker 2: happened to be my 10-year anniversary at the station. So
Speaker 2: we had to get in. We had to. We had
Speaker 2: guests and people and Turned out to be an amazing
Speaker 2: day and a great show. Trump came by. Everybody came by. Hannity, Levin,
Speaker 2: all these amazing guests. We had a live in-studio audience.
Speaker 2: My buddy Dr. John Patash was there and Caroline Schenkel
Speaker 2: and many others. Lou and I stayed around the corner
Speaker 2: at a hotel, had a great dinner. Sunday night, then
Speaker 2: Monday night, we all had dinner. No one actually bought
Speaker 2: dinner that night.
Speaker 21: No, wasn't that Sunday night?
Speaker 2: No, that was Monday.
Speaker 21: Oh, that was Monday?
Speaker 2: Sunday was the other game. We were watching the Patriots
Speaker 2: and the Broncos, man, Lou.
Speaker 4: That's right, that's right.
Speaker 2: So I remember all of it very vividly because the
Speaker 2: weather was horrible. I remember.
Speaker 21: It was slushy. You were stepping in puddles. It was horrible.
Speaker 4: We came down your block. And there was two walls
Speaker 4: of snow on each.
Speaker 5: Side of your block.
Speaker 2: Literally walls.
Speaker 4: You came down your steps holding all of your nice
Speaker 4: shirts and jackets.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and like a duffel bag.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but you almost didn't have anything covering them.
Speaker 3: No.
Speaker 4: I said, where's your garment bag?
Speaker 2: Where's your plastic garment bag?
Speaker 7: It ripped.
Speaker 4: I don't have it. It's coming down right through the
Speaker 4: snow and walking. And I think Danielle was laughing.
Speaker 7: At the time.
Speaker 2: She was, no. She's like, what are you doing? I'm like,
Speaker 2: I got to get into the city. I got to
Speaker 2: go to work.
Speaker 4: So insane.
Speaker 2: I know. So here we are wrapping up August. Not
Speaker 2: that that type of weather is coming back anytime soon,
Speaker 2: but something tells me we are closer to that type
Speaker 2: of weather than 95.
Speaker 12: Yeah.
Speaker 21: And by all accounts, it's going to be another long, treacherous,
Speaker 21: snowy winter.
Speaker 2: Who said this?
Speaker 13: I don't know.
Speaker 21: I made it up.
Speaker 2: What accounts are these? Mine. By all accounts. I mean,
Speaker 2: I know where I'm going later on today, the high temperature.
Speaker 2: We started the program at 6 o'clock. We played Billy Idol.
Speaker 2: Because we're going to go see Billy tomorrow night in Vegas.
Speaker 2: Hot in the city. 107 degrees in Vegas today. It
Speaker 2: cools down. To a very balmy 105 tomorrow.
Speaker 5: Very balmy, yeah.
Speaker 21: Get a good tan, though.
Speaker 2: I remember the first time I was on the way
Speaker 2: with Scott Kaplan to Arizona. We were going to Scottsdale.
Speaker 2: And they told us, it's going to be hot, but
Speaker 2: don't worry. It's dry heat. Not a lot of humidity.
Speaker 2: You're going to be fine. And I was there walking around,
Speaker 2: and I said to Scott, I said, how does anybody
Speaker 2: live here? This is brutal. One of the biggest lies...
Speaker 2: in the history of our country, is that dry heat
Speaker 2: is not hot. I mean, 105 degrees is 105 degrees
Speaker 2: no matter what. And I don't care because I love
Speaker 2: the sun and I'll throw on a pair of shorts
Speaker 2: and I'll even go to the gym a couple days
Speaker 2: in Vegas and all that. But don't kid yourself. 105
Speaker 2: is hot. And I just found out that Rich Lowry...
Speaker 2: who was just on the show, did a great job. Editor,
Speaker 2: National Review. He's going to Vegas, too.
Speaker 12: Oh.
Speaker 33: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Rich Lowry.
Speaker 21: He'll be at RJC?
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Oh, cool.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 2: So he's going, too. We got a big event. I'll
Speaker 2: take a short break. When we get back, he's one
Speaker 2: of the major superstars. in our business today. He really is.
Speaker 2: And again, it looks like he may be the person
Speaker 2: to replace Caroline Leavitt as the next White House press secretary.
Speaker 2: My friend Scott Jennings makes his debut.
Speaker 10: Sid and Friends in the Morning on the Red Apple
Speaker 10: Podcast Network.
Speaker 29: If you had a 9-11 scale event, would you want
Speaker 29: somebody who can't prove that they can do anything in
Speaker 29: the chair?
Speaker 13: Legit.
Speaker 26: Is it fair to say that he would cheer on 9-11?
Speaker 29: He's taking pictures with unindicted co-conspirators from the World Trade
Speaker 29: Center bombing.
Speaker 26: Are you willing to say that? You really think that
Speaker 26: he would cheer on 9-11?
Speaker 29: He's taking pictures with unindicted co-conspirators.
Speaker 26: From the World Trade Center bombing.
Speaker 15: It wasn't FOMO, it was the radio.
Speaker 26: But I'm asking Scott, because Scott seems to think that's
Speaker 26: like a totally above board line of attack. Do you
Speaker 26: think that that's true?
Speaker 29: I can only tell you what I see on my phone.
Speaker 29: I see a picture of Mamdani with a guy who
Speaker 29: was an unindicted co-conspirator from a terrorist attack in New
Speaker 29: York City.
Speaker 33: Do you think that was a good picture to take?
Speaker 26: Listen, he is an unindicted co-conspirator in that case, but
Speaker 26: it's just worth noting for context. In 2009, Bloomberg met
Speaker 26: with that same imam, the last mayor who just endorsed
Speaker 26: Eric Adams. awarded him, apparently, an award fairly recently. So,
Speaker 26: I mean, your criticism is taken, but I also think
Speaker 26: that's a different point from saying somebody would cheer on
Speaker 26: a terror attack that killed thousands of people.
Speaker 30: But is this the time to be taking pictures with
Speaker 30: this controversial.
Speaker 2: Imam.
Speaker 30: I mean, when people have such deep questions, my Jewish
Speaker 30: family is petrified.
Speaker 2: We'll be in Las Vegas together again coming up this weekend,
Speaker 2: but he's making his debut on our number one rated
Speaker 2: program here in New York City this morning, my friend
Speaker 2: Scott Jennings. Scott, good morning, pal. How are you?
Speaker 33: I'm doing great, and thank you for playing that clip.
Speaker 33: I think it's important that we all remember this 25th
Speaker 33: anniversary of 9-11 and You know, it's something we always
Speaker 33: said never forget, but it certainly feels like a lot
Speaker 33: of people did. And we've got to refocus this country
Speaker 33: on the dangers that we face in this world. And
Speaker 33: so I'm glad glad for you to be bringing attention
Speaker 33: to it and know you're fighting for what's best for you,
Speaker 33: New York and best for the West.
Speaker 2: Oh, thank you, Scott. I decided after July 4th when
Speaker 2: we turned 250 starting that Monday, July 6th. Every single
Speaker 2: day I would do something on 9-11, and I have.
Speaker 2: I've kept my promise. I brought Giovanni Galante on this show.
Speaker 2: He's the Staten Island gentleman that started the petition. Now
Speaker 2: over 90,000 strong to keep the mayor away on 9-11.
Speaker 2: I brought on a guy a couple days ago named
Speaker 2: Jack Joyce, who has reached out to President Trump to
Speaker 2: make the World Trade Center a national monument. I brought
Speaker 2: on many, many family members of the victims who were
Speaker 2: killed that day.
Speaker 13: So.
Speaker 2: For me, I take it very, very seriously. I know
Speaker 2: the president is going to be at the Pentagon that day.
Speaker 2: I wish he was here. They will have J.D. Vance here.
Speaker 2: But I am really upset that Mamdani, a guy who
Speaker 2: is besties with Hasan Piker, is going to be at
Speaker 2: that site that morning.
Speaker 33: Yeah, he, you know, he's going to step into a
Speaker 33: situation there where, you know, frankly, he's dug himself such
Speaker 33: a deep hole. with people who lived through that day,
Speaker 33: with people who have scars that they'll never recover from
Speaker 33: from that day. And well, given his commentary on so
Speaker 33: many other things, I really worry about how he might
Speaker 33: portray the state of New York City 25 years after 9-11.
Speaker 33: Remember during the campaign, he said the real trouble with
Speaker 33: 9-11 was his was his aunt. You know, she didn't
Speaker 33: feel great about riding the subway. I mean, it was,
Speaker 33: I mean, that, that was the craziest, that was the craziest.
Speaker 13: Sort of thing.
Speaker 33: And, and, and it, it sort of reveals that he
Speaker 33: doesn't get what the people of New York went through,
Speaker 33: what they're still going through today. And, uh, which I
Speaker 33: guess makes sense that he's not really from, from New
Speaker 33: York and, uh, but it's a, it's a big, it's
Speaker 33: a big day. It is a big anniversary of, And
Speaker 33: we really need to refocus ourselves on the big picture here.
Speaker 33: And that's that there are people that wish us harm.
Speaker 33: They wish to harm them and they wish us harm now.
Speaker 33: And we have to take the threat seriously.
Speaker 2: That story about his aunt turned out to be a
Speaker 2: total lie. She was never on the subway. It wasn't
Speaker 2: even here. She was in a different country, Scott Jennings. So,
Speaker 2: you know, that guy doesn't belong there when he uses,
Speaker 2: uses 9-11. to put it in a nonsense story, to
Speaker 2: lie about it, to go out there and tell everybody
Speaker 2: about the fears of Islamophobia. He lied about his aunt.
Speaker 2: That story never happened. And look at the CBC, Scott.
Speaker 2: I mean, you're on CNN. That's difficult enough. Now you've
Speaker 2: got the CBC. They're telling their journalists you cannot refer
Speaker 2: to 9-11 as a terrorist act. They don't want the
Speaker 2: words terrorist or terrorism being used. What they're saying is— get
Speaker 2: ready for this— What they're saying is that a bunch
Speaker 2: of planes just happened to crash into a couple of
Speaker 2: buildings and the World Trade Center just happened to get destroyed.
Speaker 2: They don't want the words terrorist attack or terrorism even used. Now,
Speaker 2: how do you explain that?
Speaker 33: Well, here's how I explain it. Because the progressive project
Speaker 33: is to push socialism, communism, and radical Islamo-Marxism on the
Speaker 33: United States of America. And the only way you can
Speaker 33: achieve that is to erase people's memory, is to make
Speaker 33: people forget the consequences of the kinds of people that
Speaker 33: they're trying to promote right now. And so if anyone
Speaker 33: remembers what happened on 9-11, if anybody remembers the truth,
Speaker 33: which is that we were attacked by radical Islamic terrorists,
Speaker 33: then they might want to do something about that today.
Speaker 33: But if people are made to forget, if people are
Speaker 33: made to remember these things in a different way, if
Speaker 33: the past and our truth is erased, then... It gives
Speaker 33: them a better chance to install their program and to
Speaker 33: rip out America root and branch. And so I explain
Speaker 33: it that it's the same thing with socialism. It's the
Speaker 33: same thing with communism. They don't want anybody to know
Speaker 33: that Chairman Mao killed 80 million people in China. They
Speaker 33: just want to dress up like him and pretend like
Speaker 33: everything's fine over there. They don't want people to know
Speaker 33: the truth about what they're trying to install in the
Speaker 33: United States of America. And so the way to get
Speaker 33: rid of the truth is to get rid of it.
Speaker 33: And that's exactly what that order sounds like to me.
Speaker 2: Exactly right. And now you talk about the fears around
Speaker 2: the country. Scott Jennings with people like Abdul El-Sayed running
Speaker 2: in Michigan. He claims he's not DSA. I still call
Speaker 2: him DSA. I don't care. He has, unlike Mamdani, he
Speaker 2: has fears. actually distanced himself from Hassan Piker. Hardly makes
Speaker 2: him a great guy or a great American, Scott, but
Speaker 2: he has done that. And some members now of the
Speaker 2: Democrat Party are doing that. But the party is such
Speaker 2: a mess. Scott, I mean, I don't know what these
Speaker 2: people say. I don't watch CNN except for Iran, okay?
Speaker 2: What are they possibly saying? You've got lunatics, progressives, DSA, communists,
Speaker 2: Jew haters, anti-Semites, and they're worried that President Trump might
Speaker 2: change the name of a body of water? Are we serious?
Speaker 25: Well, no, we're not.
Speaker 33: We're not serious. And the party, the Democrats have been
Speaker 33: totally overwhelmed and overtaken by these people. And El-Sayed, although
Speaker 33: he tried to distance himself from Piker. Piker then made
Speaker 33: a video and said, well, I don't really think he's
Speaker 33: changing his position. He's just doing it to fool people
Speaker 33: to win the election. And so, I mean, even he
Speaker 33: knows it's a total joke. This is the plan, okay?
Speaker 33: This is the plan.
Speaker 9: Abdul El-Sayed is a socialist.
Speaker 33: He believes in socialist ideas. He thinks the United States
Speaker 33: of America is rotten at its core, and that would
Speaker 33: justify ripping it out root and branch. That's what Piker believes.
Speaker 33: And that's where the energy is in their party. And
Speaker 33: they're electing people in primaries all over the country who
Speaker 33: believe in these things. And if they get to Washington,
Speaker 33: they intend to change our country as we know it.
Speaker 33: We cannot permit it. We have to fight against it
Speaker 33: because it puts every single one of us in danger.
Speaker 2: Bottom line, every one of us in danger. What do
Speaker 2: you think is going to happen, though? Because there's a
Speaker 2: lot of folks, Scott, that say, hey, it's one thing
Speaker 2: to win a primary. And some of these people did well.
Speaker 2: Some did lose, thank God, like Francesca Hong, running for
Speaker 2: governor in Wisconsin and some of those really crazy candidates
Speaker 2: down in South Florida, Dan Bilzerian against Randy Fine and
Speaker 2: that psycho that ran against Moskowitz. But some did win, right?
Speaker 2: Angie Nixon won in the northern part of the state.
Speaker 2: But most people feel like these people who won the
Speaker 2: primaries are not going to win come Election Day in November.
Speaker 2: What do you think?
Speaker 33: Some of them are going to win. Some of them
Speaker 33: are guaranteed to win because of the nature of their districts.
Speaker 33: But to me, I look for what it tells me
Speaker 33: about the larger... political forces and the tectonics in America.
Speaker 33: You have a major American political party that has been
Speaker 33: totally overwhelmed by this ideology. You know, Chuck Schumer, Hakeem Jeffries,
Speaker 33: all these people, Pelosi, they don't matter anymore. The only
Speaker 33: people who matter are these socialists who are now captain
Speaker 33: of the ship. And look ahead to 2028. Who is
Speaker 33: the leading candidate for president of the Democratic Party? It's
Speaker 33: Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who just yesterday renewed her membership in the
Speaker 33: Democratic Socialists of America Club. Oh, my God. And so
Speaker 33: I guess I'm thinking less short term and more long
Speaker 33: term about what this tells us about one of our
Speaker 33: two parties. One of our two parties has been taken over.
Speaker 33: by an ideology that fundamentally hates our country. And they
Speaker 33: think our country is a force for evil in the world.
Speaker 33: And they think, therefore, ripping it out and destroying it
Speaker 33: and building something in its place is justified. That's what
Speaker 33: they intend to do. Just read their platform. Everything about
Speaker 33: it is about the destruction of the United States of America,
Speaker 33: as we've known for 250 years. And that is the
Speaker 33: stakes of this and the next election.
Speaker 2: You know, talking about socialism, I enjoy you on Twitter too, Scott,
Speaker 2: not just television. You tweeted this 21 hours ago, and
Speaker 2: it goes like this. There is so much violence in
Speaker 2: the socialist heart that they are, quote, deeply saddened when
Speaker 2: an alleged meat cleaver wielding murderer passes away in jail.
Speaker 2: And what you're talking about is that this mayor, Mamdani, actually,
Speaker 2: actually talked about the sympathy and how sad he was
Speaker 2: for the murderer, not the victims, not the people the
Speaker 2: murderer killed. It's the same guy that went to visit prisoners,
Speaker 2: as you know, in Rikers Island to watch soccer games.
Speaker 2: How twisted are these people that they actually get sad
Speaker 2: when the criminal dies and say nothing when good people die?
Speaker 33: Yeah, this is this is the upside down logic that
Speaker 33: it is society's fault that this person picked up a
Speaker 33: meat cleaver and murdered some people. And so we have
Speaker 33: to feel sad about that. The victim becomes but a
Speaker 33: footnote in.
Speaker 5: All of this.
Speaker 33: I mean, Mamdani's larger criminal justice views are not really
Speaker 33: in question. He wants to close Rikers. He wants to
Speaker 33: abolish prisons. That's what the socialists want to do. They
Speaker 33: don't want any prisons. Well, if you don't have any prisons,
Speaker 33: where do you put the violent people? You put them
Speaker 33: right back out on the streets. And so when a
Speaker 33: violent criminal dies in prison and you say you're, quote,
Speaker 33: deeply saddened and you have nothing to say for the victim,
Speaker 33: that tells you, who do I really care about? When
Speaker 33: he wakes up in the morning, who is he thinking about?
Speaker 33: He's thinking about, well, how do I close the jails
Speaker 33: and put the violent back out on the street? And
Speaker 33: he has no regard for the victims that caused him
Speaker 33: to go to jail in the first place or the
Speaker 33: victims that would come after the completion of such a project.
Speaker 33: And it's not just him. That's what these socialist candidates
Speaker 33: believe across the country. Abolition of prisons and abolition of
Speaker 33: police is a recipe for anarchy and a recipe to
Speaker 33: destroy this country, and that's why they're for it.
Speaker 2: You know, I don't disagree with you very often, Scott.
Speaker 2: Maybe never.
Speaker 25: Okay.
Speaker 2: I think you're great.
Speaker 13: I do.
Speaker 2: But you said something on Twitter, too, which my next guest,
Speaker 2: I think she's on hold already. She's so spectacular. I
Speaker 2: know you love her, too, KT McFarlane. She says all
Speaker 2: the time, and I disagree with her, too, And that is,
Speaker 2: for those Democrats out there, we've already won the Iran war.
Speaker 2: And no, we haven't. I mean, we're winning. I'm not
Speaker 2: dumb enough to say we're losing. We are winning. Economic
Speaker 2: indicators are going our way. But this game's not over.
Speaker 2: This is like the seventh inning. You're a big sports guy,
Speaker 2: Scott Jennings. This game's not over. I know Trump does
Speaker 2: it because he's the president, but you can't claim victory yet.
Speaker 2: So all I'm saying to people like you and KT
Speaker 2: and others, I never said we're losing. Yes, that's the Democrats.
Speaker 2: That's ridiculous. We are winning, but we haven't won yet.
Speaker 2: How is that possible? They still have the dust. They
Speaker 2: still have layers of these psychos in the IRGC that
Speaker 2: want to kill us. The straight is not really as
Speaker 2: open as the president wants you to believe. Why can't
Speaker 2: we just say we're winning, but Mariano Rivera hasn't entered
Speaker 2: the game just yet?
Speaker 33: Well, here's my argument. We've sunk their navy. We've destroyed
Speaker 33: their military. We've decimated their defense industrial base, which is
Speaker 33: how you produce other weapons. We killed their first layer
Speaker 33: of leadership, and their current leader is a cardboard cutout
Speaker 33: that no one's ever seen in public. Yes, they have
Speaker 33: the nuclear dust, but they have no meaningful ability to
Speaker 33: produce a nuclear weapon. We have vastly degraded their terror proxies.
Speaker 33: They haven't exported, Sid, a barrel of oil, not one
Speaker 33: single barrel– since mid-July, and the United States Navy has
Speaker 33: exported or assisted in the export of 750 million barrels
Speaker 33: of oil through the Strait since this has all started.
Speaker 33: By any meaningful historical metric, this is a defeated nation.
Speaker 33: And so I do believe we've won, and I think
Speaker 33: the president needs to tell the nation that we've won,
Speaker 33: and I think he needs to be honest. We're going
Speaker 33: to have to leave behind some naval assets. And we're
Speaker 33: going to have to leave behind some surveillance. And bottom line,
Speaker 33: we've won and we're going to take Israel off the
Speaker 33: chain and let them do what they have to do
Speaker 33: to keep these people in check. I think we've won.
Speaker 33: And I think it will require eternal vigilance because they're
Speaker 33: lunatics and religious fanatics. But I think by any meaningful
Speaker 33: historical measurement, this is declared a victory right now for
Speaker 33: the United States.
Speaker 2: Okay, but you did say something there that KT says,
Speaker 2: and I agree with you guys on, and that is
Speaker 2: the president needs to say, because even the most ardent
Speaker 2: of Trump supporters, and I'm one of them, I'm a
Speaker 2: complete sycophant, okay? I'm just telling you, no matter what
Speaker 2: he does, I love him. Even though I can be
Speaker 2: critical at times, like about this war, I still love him.
Speaker 2: But the messaging, the messaging has not been perfect, I
Speaker 2: think is what some of his... most ardent supporters say.
Speaker 2: Is that a fair criticism?
Speaker 33: Yeah, look, I think that as this has gone on,
Speaker 33: I think we need and needed constant reminders of why
Speaker 33: we're doing this in the first place.
Speaker 25: And I think.
Speaker 33: Sometimes they've hit the mark. But sometimes we've lost sight
Speaker 33: of that. I also, frankly, think we need more frequent
Speaker 33: Pentagon briefings. At the beginning, we were getting frequent Pentagon
Speaker 33: briefings about how our military was performing. I think we
Speaker 33: lost sight of that, too, because I think people trust
Speaker 33: and want to hear from the military about how we're doing.
Speaker 33: Last night, Admiral Cooper, the head of CENTCOM, issued a video,
Speaker 33: gave a great update about how the naval blockade is
Speaker 33: working and how the Strait of Hormuz is currently working
Speaker 33: and how we've taken out all the mines. We've swept
Speaker 33: up all the mines. I mean, it was a great update,
Speaker 33: and I think more of that, more transparency into just
Speaker 33: exactly how we are winning would help his cause.
Speaker 13: I agree with you on that.
Speaker 16: All right.
Speaker 2: Elephant in the room, Scott Jennings. You knew this was
Speaker 2: going to happen at some point during this conversation. Are
Speaker 2: you going to Vegas right now? By the way, are
Speaker 2: you in the airport right now to go to Vegas?
Speaker 8: I am.
Speaker 33: I'm at LaGuardia right now, headed home to Tennessee and
Speaker 33: then Kentucky for a couple of days. I'll see you
Speaker 33: out there on Sunday.
Speaker 2: Okay, on Sunday. Okay, going home to Tennessee. Everybody's moving
Speaker 2: to Tennessee. I swear to God, everybody I talk to,
Speaker 2: Raleigh Gaines, hey, I'm in Tennessee. Tommy Lahren, hey, I'm
Speaker 2: in Tennessee. Clay Travis, hey, I'm in Tennessee. Everybody's moving
Speaker 2: to Tennessee, and I love it there. Do you live
Speaker 2: by the Grand Ole Opry?
Speaker 5: No, I'm sorry.
Speaker 33: I want to make clear. I live in Kentucky. I
Speaker 33: have to make a pit stop in Knoxville because I'm
Speaker 33: at a fundraiser tonight for a friend of mine in Knoxville.
Speaker 33: But then I'm driving to Louisville. So eventually I'll get
Speaker 33: back to my old Kentucky home.
Speaker 2: I love Kentucky. It's a nice place. So last one.
Speaker 2: Lots of rumors today is Caroline Levitt's last day that
Speaker 2: you will be the next White House press secretary. If
Speaker 2: it matters, I would tell Trump, you're the perfect guy
Speaker 2: for the job. I know you're going to say, well,
Speaker 2: you know, no one said that to me just yet, blah, blah, blah.
Speaker 2: So I'll ask you an opinion question. Do you want
Speaker 2: that job?
Speaker 33: Well, I haven't made any comments about it publicly. I'm
Speaker 33: sort of amused by all the conjecture, and I'm honored
Speaker 33: by all the people who said that they think I
Speaker 33: would be good at it. But to be honest, I
Speaker 33: don't really have anything to say about it other than
Speaker 33: I think Caroline Leavitt's been nothing short of brilliant, and
Speaker 33: whoever takes that job next. has big shoes to fill.
Speaker 33: And the president deserves someone who can give him a
Speaker 33: positive and affirmative defense of what he's doing for the country,
Speaker 33: which I think is a net positive. And I think
Speaker 33: the last two years are going to be, they're going
Speaker 33: to be after him. And he's going to have to
Speaker 33: have somebody who's got thick skin and as tough as
Speaker 33: nails up there.
Speaker 13: So I don't know what.
Speaker 33: He's going to do, but he's always had good instincts
Speaker 33: about the press. He's his own best spokesperson and his
Speaker 33: own best messenger, but he deserves a partner to fight
Speaker 33: that battle every day.
Speaker 2: You just made the best defense ever for yourself. I mean,
Speaker 2: and God, I'm being serious because you're all those things.
Speaker 2: You are perfect for this job. You're amazing. You're smart.
Speaker 2: You're fearless. You'd be great for him. And if, God forbid, Scott,
Speaker 2: we lose the midterms, like you just said, those last
Speaker 2: two years, that's going to be brutal.
Speaker 15: Brutal.
Speaker 33: Oh, it will be bad. I lived through the last
Speaker 33: two years when I worked for President Bush, after we
Speaker 33: lost the 06 midterm, which was.
Speaker 5: A brutal time.
Speaker 33: It was awful, and I think it's going to be
Speaker 33: that times 1,000. If God forbid they win, and by
Speaker 33: the way, I'm not ready to concede yet. A lot
Speaker 33: of people are out there talking negative. I'm not ready
Speaker 33: to concede the election. I think we've got to fight
Speaker 33: it out. But if, God forbid, they win, what they
Speaker 33: try to do to this president and his cabinet and
Speaker 33: anybody who's ever been within 250 feet of him, it's
Speaker 33: going to be an abomination. Look what they're doing to
Speaker 33: his assistant, Natalie Harp. I mean, you think about the
Speaker 33: absolute lack of respect they have for people who have
Speaker 33: gone to serve our country like Natalie, but they will
Speaker 33: be– They will do things we couldn't even conjure up
Speaker 33: here on the radio today to try to destroy this
Speaker 33: man and his presidency and anybody who helped him. And
Speaker 33: he's going to need all the lawyers and press help
Speaker 33: he can get to fight him off. But I'm sure
Speaker 33: he'll have it. But that is what awaits him if
Speaker 33: this election doesn't go well.
Speaker 2: My God. Scott Jennings, just amazing. Have a safe trip
Speaker 2: to Tennessee and Kentucky. Can't wait to see you in Vegas.
Speaker 2: You truly are amazing. Thank you, Scott Jennings.
Speaker 9: Thanks for having me on.
Speaker 33: I look forward to seeing you, Sid.
Speaker 13: Take care.
Speaker 2: Me too, buddy. Take care. Scott Jennings right there, CNN.
Speaker 2: For the second straight year, we will speak together in
Speaker 2: Las Vegas. Coming up this weekend, making his debut, and
Speaker 2: a great one, on Sid and Friends in the Morning.
Speaker 2: I mentioned KT McFarlane. I think she heard that whole
Speaker 2: thing on hold. Interested to get her opinion. The great
Speaker 2: KT McFarlane. She's coming up next.
Speaker 10: Sid and Friends in the Morning on the Red Apple
Speaker 10: Podcast Network.
Speaker 2: Moments ago, Katie, I know you heard every word from Scott.
Speaker 2: What did you think?
Speaker 9: He's terrific. You know, he can talk about American politics.
Speaker 9: He can talk about New York. He can talk about
Speaker 9: national security, foreign policy, Iran. He's got an amazing range.
Speaker 9: And he's very, very, very well informed. But he's a
Speaker 9: heck of a nice guy.
Speaker 2: He's a great guy. He really is. We've been together
Speaker 2: on a couple of occasions. We'll be together this weekend,
Speaker 2: this Sunday in Las Vegas, speaking at the RJC Can't
Speaker 2: Wait conference. And I'm a big fan of his, and
Speaker 2: I do think he'd be great in that Caroline Leavitt position,
Speaker 2: the White House spokesperson, press secretary, I should say. What
Speaker 2: do you think?
Speaker 9: He would be great, but I'd rather see him do
Speaker 9: what he does, which is go out there and make
Speaker 9: the case for the president. You know, you and I
Speaker 9: have talked about this before. I think that one of
Speaker 9: the only things I would criticize President Trump for is
Speaker 9: they don't make the case to the American people enough.
Speaker 9: He assumes, I mean, because he's so smart, he's like
Speaker 9: 10 steps ahead. He assumes everybody already knows what he knows,
Speaker 9: and they don't. And it's worth making the case. And
Speaker 9: if you've got somebody in the press spokesman's job, he's
Speaker 9: doing what he's doing. He's defending the president. She's defending
Speaker 9: the president at every single step. But there's nobody out
Speaker 9: there in the media world strapping on the armor and
Speaker 9: going against it because that's the biggest threat is the
Speaker 9: media and their constant Trump derangement syndrome. where they discount
Speaker 9: everything that President Trump is doing that's good, and they,
Speaker 9: I don't know, find some fault in it. So I
Speaker 9: kind of like the idea that Scott Jennings is out
Speaker 9: there every day strapping on the armor and going on
Speaker 9: CNN and every place else making the case.
Speaker 2: No, I understand that. In fact, when I've talked to
Speaker 2: people about running for office, people that really think I should,
Speaker 2: you know, because most people don't, they would have a fine.
Speaker 2: But people that really think I should, they go, you know,
Speaker 2: but the more I think about it, Sid, I need
Speaker 2: you doing what you're doing, whether it's on radio or
Speaker 2: a podcast in the future. It doesn't matter. We need
Speaker 2: you out there defending President Trump, defending New York's values,
Speaker 2: defending America's values. And they've even said to me, Sid,
Speaker 2: to your point just now, KT, you're more valuable than
Speaker 2: When you're doing that, right, rather than arguing with the
Speaker 2: city council or the Albany legislature or the governor. So
Speaker 2: I've heard that from people about my future, too, that
Speaker 2: people like Scott, like myself, like you, we need us
Speaker 2: out there because without us, we're already outnumbered. We're outnumbered
Speaker 2: in a big way. Without us, we're really in trouble.
Speaker 17: Yeah.
Speaker 9: And I think that's why, you know, again, Scott, you, myself,
Speaker 9: a number of others going out there and taking the case,
Speaker 9: including with hostile interviews. And I go on some places,
Speaker 9: especially the BBC and others, where they just they'll be
Speaker 9: like five people screaming at me that I keep making
Speaker 9: the case five. That's fine. I can hand five to one.
Speaker 9: But but you got to make the case, because if
Speaker 9: you don't if you don't show up and make the case,
Speaker 9: then the left really owns that narrative. And we're a democracy,
Speaker 9: so you have to win hearts and minds of the
Speaker 9: American people. And if the American people are only listening
Speaker 9: and hearing one side of an argument, well, it's tough
Speaker 9: to then make your own case. I think that it's
Speaker 9: important to do that national service of making the case
Speaker 9: and getting into, you know, making your point, making your
Speaker 9: case in face of just enemy fire. And that's what
Speaker 9: Scott is so good at doing. He does it with
Speaker 9: a very nice sense and a light touch.
Speaker 2: And how he does it. I would go nuts there
Speaker 2: on Abby Phillips and CNN.
Speaker 13: He does it.
Speaker 2: He doesn't even raise his voice most of the time.
Speaker 2: He's got that Kentucky drawl going, and he's a better
Speaker 2: man than me, because I would lose. I'd start throwing stuff.
Speaker 2: I really would. But, you know, listen, you and I
Speaker 2: have gone back and forth on this show. It's not
Speaker 2: enemy fire. We're on the same team, and I love you,
Speaker 2: but we've had a couple of disagreements, and For what
Speaker 2: it's worth, especially on Iran, man, if I play back
Speaker 2: the Scott Jennings tape of moments ago, that's you. He
Speaker 2: said exactly what you've been saying on this show for
Speaker 2: the better part of three months. We've already won. I mean,
Speaker 2: down to your exact reasons why he had the same
Speaker 2: exact reasons.
Speaker 9: Well, I guess he's listening too, isn't he? No, look,
Speaker 9: we have already won. And whether Iran goes to a
Speaker 9: negotiating table and signs a form and acquiesces and unbended knee,
Speaker 9: that's probably not ever going to happen. But the objective
Speaker 9: reality is Iran is finished. And the Strait of Hormuz,
Speaker 9: which they have used for 47 years to blackmail the world,
Speaker 9: That's gone as a threat because they overplayed their hand
Speaker 9: by closing the strait, by mining the strait, by threatening
Speaker 9: yet again the world economy. What's happened is that because
Speaker 9: the U.S. armada is there, we can blockade Iran completely.
Speaker 9: And so ships are getting through. We've been able to
Speaker 9: clear now all the mines in the Strait of Hormuz.
Speaker 9: So the only thing that Iran can do to block
Speaker 9: trade at this point is a couple of shoulder-fired missiles.
Speaker 9: you know, on one or two guys. The mines are gone.
Speaker 9: The strait is open. Oil is moving. But because Iran
Speaker 9: overplayed its hand, countries in the region had started doing workarounds.
Speaker 9: They started beefing up and full steam ahead and, you know,
Speaker 9: Manhattan Project doing new pipelines. So more and more oil
Speaker 9: is now going to move by pipelines today. And then
Speaker 9: two years from now, three years from now, Almost all
Speaker 9: of it's going to move by pipeline. And then some
Speaker 9: of the slack that used to come from the Middle
Speaker 9: East oil has been picked up by American oil. The
Speaker 9: countries are sending empty tankers to the Gulf of America
Speaker 9: to get filled up instead of the Persian Gulf. So
Speaker 9: it's stupid around. They overplayed their hand. They overplayed their
Speaker 9: hand in a lot of ways. And they're coming out
Speaker 9: of this not only broke at home, but much, much,
Speaker 9: much weaker in the sense of the power they could
Speaker 9: use to threaten the world. And I think it only
Speaker 9: reinforces the necessity that President Trump took the move to
Speaker 9: destroy their nuclear program because they threatened the world for
Speaker 9: 50 years with Can you imagine if they actually had
Speaker 9: nuclear weapons?
Speaker 2: No, God, no.
Speaker 9: They would threaten the world.
Speaker 2: No, they wouldn't threaten it. Use it. Israel will be
Speaker 2: off the map by now.
Speaker 9: Use it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, of course.
Speaker 9: Absolutely.
Speaker 2: You know, I had a very interesting conversation yesterday on
Speaker 2: the show with Gordon Chang. And, you know, he's Mr.
Speaker 33: China.
Speaker 2: And, you know, we're talking about Iran today. We're talking
Speaker 2: about Canada today. Some think that Trump is going to
Speaker 2: look out of the way like America. I don't care.
Speaker 2: I don't care. I don't care. He wants to rename
Speaker 2: a body of water.
Speaker 9: I think he gets up at three o'clock in the morning.
Speaker 9: And then he just sort of, like, a little twinkle
Speaker 9: in his eye, and he thinks, how am I going
Speaker 9: to get those girls on The View really mad today?
Speaker 13: Right.
Speaker 9: How am I going to get everybody, you know, riled up?
Speaker 9: And then he comes up with, you know, Gulf of America,
Speaker 9: let's take Greenland, Canada, 51st State, and now Lake America.
Speaker 2: Let's just piss him off. So I know he does
Speaker 2: all that. But we're talking about China and look, they're
Speaker 2: the ones that we should still be worried about. Okay.
Speaker 2: At the end of the day, it ain't Iran. It
Speaker 2: ain't Canada. It's not Venezuela, Cuba or Russia. It's China.
Speaker 2: But you're talking about how we weakened Iran so much.
Speaker 2: And the conversation with Gordon yesterday was China, not the
Speaker 2: same either. Now, look, they're still doing pretty well in
Speaker 2: the AI race. There's no doubt about it. But look,
Speaker 2: they got to get their oil from Iran. Their economy
Speaker 2: is not exactly great. The people there are losing confidence
Speaker 2: in their leader. So while Iran is always the subject
Speaker 2: of the conversation, Iran can't do anything, right? They never
Speaker 2: were able to fund all those terror proxies, Hezbollah, the Houthis,
Speaker 2: and Hamas, any of that without China. Some say China
Speaker 2: is still, through the Caspian Sea, providing weapons. Some say
Speaker 2: China is still having Arab countries get money to Iran.
Speaker 2: I don't know if any of that is true.
Speaker 5: All I know is.
Speaker 2: China still remains our biggest issue in the world today. Yes?
Speaker 3: 100%.
Speaker 9: And the AI race will determine the future of the world.
Speaker 9: Whoever gets AI first, it's a transformative technology. Whoever gets
Speaker 9: there first is going to dominate. I mean, dominate like
Speaker 9: superpower dominate. Soul superpower dominate the world for at least
Speaker 9: a generation. And that's why the race with China over
Speaker 9: AI is so important. So it's really important for us
Speaker 9: to continue to invest in it. to allow innovation, to
Speaker 9: allow data centers, et cetera. And it's also important for
Speaker 9: us to control the world energy supply because what does
Speaker 9: China not have? Energy. They're one of the most energy-poor
Speaker 9: countries in the world. They have to import their energy.
Speaker 9: And if the United States, as I've said in President Trump,
Speaker 9: his brilliant idea of making the United States the world's
Speaker 9: dominant energy power, in other words, not only do we
Speaker 9: export the most oil, natural gas, LNG products, crude, refined oil.
Speaker 9: We also have ownership or great influence over a lot
Speaker 9: of the rest of the world's oil, whether it's coming
Speaker 9: from Venezuela, the United Arab Emirates, et cetera. So we
Speaker 9: can dominate the world energy supply. And then when we
Speaker 9: dominate the world AI technology, we're way ahead of everybody
Speaker 9: because China still has to import its oil. I think
Speaker 9: when President Trump meets with President Xi next month, one
Speaker 9: of the conversations should be, Hey, Mr. President of China,
Speaker 9: why don't you buy American oil?
Speaker 2: I'd love to get a camera on the president of
Speaker 2: China's face when Trump says that, because he's very friendly
Speaker 2: when Trump is there. He says nice things. He does
Speaker 2: nice things. Somebody gives Trump a chair for a midget.
Speaker 2: But he he doesn't like us. Not even a little bit.
Speaker 2: Let's be honest. OK, let me go back to Canada
Speaker 2: for a second, though, because this is quite the story.
Speaker 2: You heard about this. The CBC News. So the director
Speaker 2: of journalism tells a journalist there that you cannot refer
Speaker 2: to September the 11th as terrorist attacks. They don't want
Speaker 2: the words terrorism or terrorist attacks even used. Think about this.
Speaker 2: They sent out a memo and it said, don't use
Speaker 2: those words. Instead, describe the events as as hijackings that
Speaker 2: led to passenger jet crashes in Washington, Pennsylvania, and Manhattan.
Speaker 2: And oh yeah, the World Trade Center was also destroyed.
Speaker 2: They will not allow their journalists to use the words
Speaker 2: terrorist or terrorism attack Canada. Is that unbelievable?
Speaker 9: Yeah, especially because after September 11th, one of the first
Speaker 9: countries that tried to help America was Canada. where they
Speaker 9: sent the thing that when President Bush was asked, well,
Speaker 9: how can we help you? He said, well, you know,
Speaker 9: send people to come to America. You know, we're open
Speaker 9: for business again. And Canada was one of the first
Speaker 9: that filled that void. The other thing that is just
Speaker 9: stunning to me is I spent, I don't know if
Speaker 9: I ever told you this, but when I did my
Speaker 9: graduate degree at Oxford, I studied communism and Lenin and Marx.
Speaker 9: And how do you take over countries? You know, what
Speaker 9: was their blueprint? And it was always to rewrite history.
Speaker 9: The first thing you did was to rewrite history, you know,
Speaker 9: whitewash history so that the countries and people didn't feel
Speaker 9: proud or acknowledge the sacrifices that their people made in history.
Speaker 9: And you rewrite it so that instead of being heroes,
Speaker 9: the people who respond, they become villains.
Speaker 5: Right.
Speaker 9: And that's exactly what they're doing. This is the rewriting
Speaker 9: of history.
Speaker 2: Well, a guy used to be a friend of mine.
Speaker 2: He's not a friend any longer, but that's really on him,
Speaker 2: not me. We wrote history yesterday. You got to hear this.
Speaker 2: Former mayoral candidate, former WABC talk show host, and a
Speaker 2: damn good one. I'll give him credit for that. Curtis
Speaker 2: Sliwa talking about rewriting history, KT McFarlane. This one you
Speaker 2: can't make up. The guy's name is Adam Friedland. He
Speaker 2: does a podcast. Curtis was on his show yesterday. And
Speaker 2: you tell me if Curtis did not, I should say,
Speaker 2: as you just said, rewrite history.
Speaker 6: Does it piss you off when people try to s
Speaker 6: * * * on Columbus? Like Native Americans and stuff?
Speaker 5: Christopher Columbus, right?
Speaker 33: Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 5: He was a degenerate. He had his problems.
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 5: He had his eccentricities.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 5: He was Jewish. Did you know that?
Speaker 7: It's actually fake.
Speaker 15: No, no.
Speaker 14: They try to say he's Jewish, but he's not.
Speaker 5: No, he had a brush. Trust me. He had to
Speaker 5: drop his drawers to prove that. He had a brisk.
Speaker 17: Come on.
Speaker 7: Some people just like that style.
Speaker 5: You know, back then.
Speaker 7: People like a hoodless style.
Speaker 11: You know, why do you think he had to escape
Speaker 11: Spain in 1492? He was doing it on behalf of.
Speaker 12: When Queen Isabella and King Ferdinand launched the Inquisition on
Speaker 12: your people and said he would convert or die. And
Speaker 12: he decided to leave with the Nina, the Pinta, the Santa,
Speaker 12: and the Maria.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 7: Well, there's three, actually. The Santa Maria.
Speaker 5: No, no.
Speaker 7: You're wrong. No, no, Santa Maria was the third one.
Speaker 5: The Nina, the Pinta, the Santa, and the Maria.
Speaker 7: The Nina, the Pinta, and the Santa Maria.
Speaker 5: That's right. Four of the ships. Three of them made it.
Speaker 13: Yeah.
Speaker 5: As he went.
Speaker 14: Oh, so he called one the Santa Maria after one lot.
Speaker 7: You combine the names?
Speaker 5: Excuse me?
Speaker 2: Nothing.
Speaker 7: Oh, God.
Speaker 8: Are you trying to instruct me on the hero of
Speaker 8: my peeps, Christopher Columbus?
Speaker 15: I thought you, so you're Jewish. No, he is Jewish.
Speaker 2: Okay, so I had to go back and look because
Speaker 2: I trust Curtis so much. I go, wait a second.
Speaker 2: I was under the impression it was three boats. The Nina,
Speaker 2: the Pinta, and the Santa Maria. And everything I read
Speaker 2: said it was not four boats. It was three boats.
Speaker 2: So the question is, because you're Italian, KT, did Curtis
Speaker 2: rewrite history there?
Speaker 9: I think Curtis has jumped the shark. He has. I mean, A,
Speaker 9: rewriting history. Christopher Columbus is Jewish. I mean, he's, I think, yeah,
Speaker 9: he's going to some strange place. And that's a shame.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 9: Because he did do great things for the country and
Speaker 9: New York.
Speaker 2: He did.
Speaker 9: Decades ago.
Speaker 5: Yes.
Speaker 9: That was a long time ago.
Speaker 2: It's over, right?
Speaker 13: That's it.
Speaker 2: Now he belongs in maybe a room with Lindsay Clancy.
Speaker 9: Yes.
Speaker 2: And that's not a funny story. That's a horrible story.
Speaker 2: She killed her three kids. But, you know, we're going
Speaker 2: to find out, I guess. There's definitely five different verdict
Speaker 2: possibilities in this case. And we're going to find out.
Speaker 2: Me personally, I don't think she's evil. I think she
Speaker 2: did an evil thing. And I think that she should
Speaker 2: never see daylight again. But I would put her in
Speaker 2: a mental institution and not a maximum security prison. Do
Speaker 2: you have any, as a great mom and grandmother, any
Speaker 2: opinion on that case?
Speaker 9: Your heart breaks. Your heart breaks for every one of
Speaker 9: those five, you know, outcomes and conclusions that you talked about.
Speaker 9: Your heart just breaks. And for me at that point,
Speaker 9: I just think you turn to prayer and you don't
Speaker 9: rail at God. You just turn to prayer.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a good idea. KT, you're such a sweet
Speaker 2: and beautiful and smart lady. You know, I love you
Speaker 2: so much. Thank you so much.
Speaker 9: Thank you.
Speaker 2: You're the best. KT McFarlane right here on Sid and
Speaker 2: Friends in the Morning does an amazing job, everybody. Talking
Speaker 2: about that Lindsey Clancy case, we will talk to my
Speaker 2: dear friend of 49 years, the best defense attorney anywhere
Speaker 2: in the world, Joseph Takapina. He'll be here. Janice Dean
Speaker 2: will be here. And maybe one more guest along the way.
Speaker 2: This is the Body Edition.
Speaker 10: Sid and Friends in the Morning on the Red Apple
Speaker 10: Podcast Network.
Speaker 2: Cnn superstar and maybe just maybe the next the next
Speaker 2: i should say white house press secretary made his debut
Speaker 2: on this show and lou you'd agree he killed it
Speaker 2: right he killed it was great absolutely fantastic scott jennings
Speaker 2: should be doing more yeah well he's going to be
Speaker 2: with me in las vegas this weekend so that's where
Speaker 2: i met him for the first time last year in
Speaker 2: the green room because he spoke right before me so
Speaker 2: we spoke for about 20 minutes and then You know,
Speaker 2: I start to pay more attention. He defends me on
Speaker 2: CNN every now and then, which is very, very nice.
Speaker 2: And we've spoken a bunch of times. We co-hosted the
Speaker 2: One Israel Fun Dinner back in the fall of last year.
Speaker 2: That was amazing at Chelsea Piers. But he's never been
Speaker 2: on before today. So he is one of the big
Speaker 2: names that will be at the RJC in Vegas this weekend.
Speaker 2: So Matt Brooks and Norm Coleman made sure he stopped
Speaker 2: by today. Another very big name that's going to be there,
Speaker 2: and I think I'll have some time to have a
Speaker 2: little one-on-one with him, is the vice president, J.D. Vance.
Speaker 2: That's Monday, so we'll see if that comes to fruition. J.D.
Speaker 2: going to be here come 9-11 because President Trump is not.
Speaker 2: We found out today or yesterday that President Trump will
Speaker 2: be at the Pentagon in Washington, D.C., paying his respects. J.D.
Speaker 2: Vance will be here, as will the mayor. Of New
Speaker 2: York City. Mamdani. I just. I don't know what to
Speaker 2: say to. Giovanni Galante.
Speaker 10: And.
Speaker 2: Charles Wolfe.
Speaker 9: And.
Speaker 2: Jeanette Pick. Even. Some of these politicians. Like. Joanne Areola.
Speaker 2: She's been fighting. Very very hard.
Speaker 30: And.
Speaker 2: Her girl there. Phyllis Insurella. I don't know what to say.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 7: Just.
Speaker 2: We've been trying. We've got this petition going. I think
Speaker 2: it's over 90,000 strong. Even Scott Lobato from a hospital bed.
Speaker 2: He had the plane that flew overhead that said, stay away.
Speaker 2: This guy, he just had a heart attack. So there
Speaker 2: are so many New Yorkers. I know that I played
Speaker 2: it earlier. I'm going to play it again because it's
Speaker 2: so ridiculous. Channel 7, ABC News. The word that Sade Baranwad,
Speaker 2: nice lady, very pretty, very good. The word that she
Speaker 2: used to describe the amount of families that don't want
Speaker 2: him here is just incorrect. They got to stop running
Speaker 2: cover for this creep. Channel 2, Channel 4, Channel 5,
Speaker 2: Channel 7, 9, 11, every cable network outside of Fox News, Newsmax.
Speaker 2: Stop running cover for this creep. Melissa Russo, Marsha Kramer,
Speaker 2: Katie Honan, and in this case, Sade Baranwad. Take a listen.
Speaker 2: She talks about The families that are upset that the
Speaker 2: mayor is coming. But listen to the word she uses
Speaker 2: to describe how many. This is cut number two.
Speaker 16: President Trump is not expected to attend this year's 9-11
Speaker 16: ceremonies at the September 11th memorial in lower Manhattan. Instead,
Speaker 16: he's expected to commemorate the 25th anniversary at the Pentagon
Speaker 16: where he'll deliver remarks. Vice President J.D. Vance will represent
Speaker 16: the Trump administration in Lower Manhattan. Mayor Mamdani will also attend,
Speaker 16: despite the wishes of select 9-11 family members.
Speaker 2: Select? Sorry, sweetheart. It's a lot more than select. It's
Speaker 2: the majority. It may be the overwhelming majority. What do
Speaker 2: you mean select? They run cover for this guy all
Speaker 2: the time. It's kind of like Canada. I talked about
Speaker 2: this all morning long with KT and Rich Lowry and
Speaker 2: Scott Jennings. The CBC telling their people do not use
Speaker 2: the word terrorist or the words terrorist attack to describe 9-11. Yeah,
Speaker 2: it came down. You are not allowed to do that
Speaker 2: on our network in Canada anymore. The memo instead described
Speaker 2: the events as, ready for this, hijackings that led to
Speaker 2: passenger jet crashes in Washington, Pennsylvania, and Manhattan. It also
Speaker 2: says the World Trade Center was destroyed, but they want
Speaker 2: to remove... Any political significance. Just hijackings. That could have
Speaker 2: been anybody. That wasn't the truth. The truth was, on
Speaker 2: that day and every day since, radical Islam set out
Speaker 2: to destroy America. How do you leave that out? 19
Speaker 2: Arab hijackers. They took flying lessons. How to fly but
Speaker 2: not to land. How do you leave that out and
Speaker 2: just say, oh, a bunch of planes got hijacked and
Speaker 2: they crashed? Are you nuts? So it's everywhere. We're surrounded
Speaker 2: by people who protect radical Islam, Muslims, all of it. Criminals.
Speaker 2: Sade Baranwad, a select number of families. No, Sade, the
Speaker 2: majority don't want this punk anywhere near that place. And
Speaker 2: I know because I speak to him, okay? I'm not
Speaker 2: sitting on 66 and Broadway in a nice little studio
Speaker 2: like you do, okay? Come on. You know better than that.
Speaker 2: I know Bill Ritter would have said the same thing.
Speaker 2: And Bill, of course, had to retire, and I wish
Speaker 2: Bill the best of luck. And what he did, he's
Speaker 2: going through something terrible. He's also going to the Hall
Speaker 2: of Fame the same day that I am with me
Speaker 2: and Roseanne Escato. And I wish Bill Ritter nothing but
Speaker 2: luck and success. But he would say stuff like that.
Speaker 2: Select families. No, that's not correct. Let's call it the
Speaker 2: way it really is and stop trying to protect our
Speaker 2: lousy and horrible politicians. Joe Takapina, best defense attorney in
Speaker 2: the world, friend of mine for 49 years. He's coming up.
Speaker 1: Sid and Friends in the Morning on the Red Apple
Speaker 1: Podcast Network.
Speaker 2: Spends a lot of time with our best generals. He's
Speaker 2: been at the Pentagon many, many times. That's where Trump
Speaker 2: will be on 9-11. And in fact, just to prove
Speaker 2: this story, as I get set to introduce Joseph this morning,
Speaker 2: he's leaving Fort Bragg. He was out there for the
Speaker 2: great General Donahue's retirement ceremony. I know how upset he
Speaker 2: was that Donahue was forced to retire. So was I.
Speaker 2: So are a lot of people who are familiar with
Speaker 2: the Army and the great job that Donahue did. So
Speaker 2: let's go to Joseph right now, somewhere near Port Bragg,
Speaker 2: if not in Port Bragg on this Friday morning. Joseph,
Speaker 2: good morning, buddy. How are you? Good morning, brother.
Speaker 13: I'm pretty good considering, you know, you spend a night
Speaker 13: with a bunch of Army guys, particularly Special Forces and
Speaker 13: Special Ops and those sorts of guys, and it gets rough.
Speaker 13: They like the bourbon.
Speaker 2: Oh, boy.
Speaker 5: Oh, boy.
Speaker 13: Boy, oh, boy.
Speaker 2: They like bourbon.
Speaker 13: They really do. Drink it like water, and then they
Speaker 13: get up at 530 to do PT the next morning
Speaker 13: like nothing. So, yeah, it was a great night because
Speaker 13: it celebrated one of our great heroes, literally generational heroes.
Speaker 13: It was also a bit of a sad night because
Speaker 13: the night should never have been taking place not at
Speaker 13: this time, maybe in 10 years from.
Speaker 17: Now or later.
Speaker 13: You know, somewhere down the road, but certainly not this time,
Speaker 13: not one of the most crucial times in this country's
Speaker 13: military history. But it took place and it was great.
Speaker 13: And I mean, it was that was a who's who
Speaker 13: of the United States Army last night. I mean, every
Speaker 13: great general, General Miller and all these incredible ex-general's ex-Delta
Speaker 13: Force guys and. And then, of course, you have generals
Speaker 13: like Pat Worth there and General Anderson, these great leaders
Speaker 13: who are still hanging in there, as our Army seems
Speaker 13: to be becoming a bit of a rudderless ship. But,
Speaker 13: you know, here we are.
Speaker 2: Here we are. And Donahue, he called it quits last night.
Speaker 2: He never should have, like you said. And then your guy,
Speaker 2: Secretary Driscoll, he's about to resign the end of next week.
Speaker 2: That is another horrible move for the Army, based on
Speaker 2: people that I speak to, especially you. So Driscoll on
Speaker 2: his way out, you know, I meant to ask you
Speaker 2: this last time. Do you have anybody in mind who
Speaker 2: you'd like to think would place Driscoll?
Speaker 13: Oh, there's only one. There's only one. It's Mike Oberdahl.
Speaker 13: Mike is currently the undersecretary, Senate-confirmed undersecretary, by the way,
Speaker 13: of the United States Army. He's an obvious way to
Speaker 13: restore some continuity here. Mike Overdahl is one of our great,
Speaker 13: great heroes. He understands the institution. He understands modernization. Most importantly,
Speaker 13: he understands soldiers. So if Driscoll leaves, not if. He
Speaker 13: leaves next week, which is a done deal. You know,
Speaker 13: the only guy really to replace him is Mike Oberdahl.
Speaker 13: He was a helicopter pilot with Apache gunships. He had
Speaker 13: multiple combat tours in Iraq and Afghanistan. He was a
Speaker 13: squadron commander for the Delta Force. And if you don't
Speaker 13: know what that means, that's the pinnacle of our army
Speaker 13: right there. You know, he's married to a West Point grad,
Speaker 13: three sons. And most importantly, he is loved by the troops.
Speaker 13: Mike Oberdahl is fantastic. It really would be the only
Speaker 13: choice if we want to have any sense of stability, calmness, continuity.
Speaker 13: And I think that should be the case. He will
Speaker 13: be the acting because he's the undersecretary.
Speaker 12: Right.
Speaker 13: But the president needs to restore some stability there immediately
Speaker 13: and really, really appoint him. Because right now, the United
Speaker 13: States Army is becoming rudderless at precisely the moment America
Speaker 13: can least afford it. We're fighting worse. We care for
Speaker 13: next week literally without him. A Senate-confirmed chief of staff
Speaker 13: and a Senate-confirmed Army secretary. That's not a personnel problem.
Speaker 13: That's a national security problem in my mind. So we
Speaker 13: have to make some moves here.
Speaker 2: No, I agree. You know, you mentioned the Army secretary,
Speaker 2: and you and I have a dear, dear friend in common.
Speaker 2: And he happens to own the Florida Panthers and a
Speaker 2: couple of racehorses that won the Kentucky Derby, one of his.
Speaker 2: Golden Temple in the Belmont this year. His name is
Speaker 2: Vinnie Viola. And people may not know this, but back
Speaker 2: in 2016, Vinnie's a New York guy, a Brooklyn guy, Williamsburg.
Speaker 2: President Trump offered Vinnie the Army, the Secretary of Army position.
Speaker 2: Vinnie's a big-time West Point grad and well-respected, beloved. Now,
Speaker 2: Vinnie turned it down because he's got 19 other businesses
Speaker 2: to run, but he was you know, honored, obviously, and
Speaker 2: very respectful in turning it down. But Vinny was up
Speaker 2: at that position, which is a huge honor. Shows you
Speaker 2: what kind of guy Vinny is. But you just mentioned
Speaker 2: the guy now. The Wall Street Journal is reporting he also,
Speaker 2: like Driscoll, will be stepping down at the end of
Speaker 2: the year. What's that all about?
Speaker 13: You know, So, again, I'm going back to the instability
Speaker 13: at the top of the United States Army and at
Speaker 13: the military. And again, I'll go back to Pete Excep.
Speaker 13: You know how I feel about him. You know how
Speaker 13: I feel about what he's done as far as a
Speaker 13: leadership voice to me. it's inexplicable. And I'm telling you
Speaker 13: the guys in the know, and I'm in the know,
Speaker 13: like what it's so, but the guys in the know,
Speaker 13: you know, I'm the United States army ambassador. Okay. That's my,
Speaker 13: my title, my role, but, but the guys who are
Speaker 13: there in the, in the fields and, and, in the war,
Speaker 13: on the grounds, and at the bases every single day,
Speaker 13: the morale is really being drained a bit, brother. It's
Speaker 13: being drained. And that's the part, look, that we need
Speaker 13: to stop having happen to us. We're losing generational talents.
Speaker 13: We don't replace General Donahue overnight. You just can't do it. Fortunately,
Speaker 13: we have General Norrie who stepped in for it. General
Speaker 13: Norrie is a great, great general. You have General Pat Warwick,
Speaker 13: who's really the disciple of General Donahue. Pat Warwick is...
Speaker 13: He's revered and loved. General Anderson, who's the 18th Airborne
Speaker 13: Corps commander. I mean, you have some all-time greats still
Speaker 13: in there, but we're losing them. And our enemies, Sid,
Speaker 13: do not care about Washington politics or Pentagon infighting. The
Speaker 13: enemy cares whether the United States Army is ready to
Speaker 13: fight tonight. So leadership vacancies at the top of the
Speaker 13: Army in wartime, to me, are unacceptable. And here we are.
Speaker 13: So we need to— this needs to be taken— the president needs
Speaker 13: to step right in.
Speaker 2: I think he will. He's got a lot going on.
Speaker 2: That's not an excuse. I love when people tell me, yeah,
Speaker 2: we're busy. I don't want to hear it, okay? You've
Speaker 2: got to prioritize certain things, right? Everybody's busy. Everybody's busy.
Speaker 2: But you prioritize, okay? What's most important? And in this
Speaker 2: case— with the president, Pete Hexeth. Does Hexeth know that
Speaker 2: you go on this show and other shows? And you're right. No,
Speaker 2: I'm serious. You're right. You know, you're not lying. You're
Speaker 2: not talking out of line. You're giving out facts. But
Speaker 2: does he know that you're pretty critical of him?
Speaker 13: I never had a chat with him about it and
Speaker 13: don't know. And if he wants to have a chat,
Speaker 13: I'd be more than happy to. I'd say the same
Speaker 13: thing to his face that I'm saying on this radio show,
Speaker 13: as I've said on this radio show for months, because
Speaker 13: I'm seeing what's happening inside our army. I love our army.
Speaker 13: I love our soldiers. I love our troops. I love
Speaker 13: our country. And I do not... want to see in
Speaker 13: military nepotism, cronyism, favoritism. It doesn't belong here. Yeah, it's
Speaker 13: all over corporate America. That's fine. That's part of our lives, right? Oh,
Speaker 13: your buddy's son wants a job, whatever. Oh, the son
Speaker 13: of the CEO gets a job.
Speaker 9: Yeah.
Speaker 13: Not here. Not here. Because people die when we have favoritism, cronyism,
Speaker 13: or nepotism here. And so it just has to stop.
Speaker 13: I don't know if he listens or doesn't listen. And
Speaker 13: if it affects my standing, so be it. I will
Speaker 13: always speak my mind and the truth. I don't take
Speaker 13: any pleasure in saying this. I don't have a personal...
Speaker 13: like for Pete Hicks as a person. I don't know him,
Speaker 13: but I do know him as a leader, what he's done.
Speaker 13: And I'm telling you, the people that were speaking last
Speaker 13: night and as the night went on and the bourbon
Speaker 13: continued to flow, people were very open about.
Speaker 2: How they felt. Why do you think then that President
Speaker 2: Trump has continuously, time and time again, even very recently,
Speaker 2: defended Pete Hicks and kept him in that position?
Speaker 13: That's one of those unanswered questions. I can't speak for
Speaker 13: the president. I don't know what's in his mind when
Speaker 13: it comes to that. He's a loyal guy, right? When
Speaker 13: he wants, when he thinks I think that's a large
Speaker 13: part of it. Pete Hegseth will do what the president wants,
Speaker 13: speaks the language he wants him to speak, and so
Speaker 13: on and so forth. But by all accounts, by all accounts,
Speaker 13: I know firsthand that there's been a little ruffling of
Speaker 13: the feathers of late between the president and Hegseth because
Speaker 13: of the information that the president's been given about our
Speaker 13: munitions being so low that the president did not know about.
Speaker 13: But he can only rely on what his people are
Speaker 13: telling him. And, you know, there was some backlash against Texas. But,
Speaker 13: you know, again, we have to see where this goes.
Speaker 13: I don't care who's the person. I just care about
Speaker 13: the role and the title and the position being operated
Speaker 13: in accordance with our needs as in the United States Army,
Speaker 13: as the military. And that's it. That's all I care about.
Speaker 13: But we still have some greats. Again, Mike Overdahl is
Speaker 13: still there. You know, you have general work. You have
Speaker 13: general leadership. Anderson, all these guys, General Norrie, there's Mike Weimer,
Speaker 13: the Sergeant Major of the Army, an unbelievable leader. So
Speaker 13: they're still there, but we're losing our best. By the week,
Speaker 13: I mean, there was another guy who just retired, another general,
Speaker 13: La Camera. He just retired. He was a four-star general.
Speaker 13: I mean, you know, these people are not easy to replace.
Speaker 13: I spent a lot of time with him last night,
Speaker 13: General Paul La Camera, four-star. He left. The last year
Speaker 13: and a half. I mean, you can't, you know, you just,
Speaker 13: these guys, you don't replace them that easily. And we
Speaker 13: have to be careful. That's all I'm saying. And the
Speaker 13: morale needs to be paid attention to because soldiers need
Speaker 13: to have the will, the desire, and the belief that
Speaker 13: our administrators are behind them 100%.
Speaker 2: You can't argue with any of that. I got to
Speaker 2: tell you, we're on twice this week because you're so
Speaker 2: damn good, Joe Tacopini. You were great on Monday, great
Speaker 2: on Monday. And this was amazing information. Not good. Amazing,
Speaker 2: which only a certain amount of people can get. And
Speaker 2: you're one of those people. But I can't let you go.
Speaker 2: I can't, even though this is great already, without asking
Speaker 2: about the biggest trial in the country, in the world today.
Speaker 2: And that is Lindsay Clancy. We did speak about this
Speaker 2: on Monday as well. I told you. I think what
Speaker 2: she did was incredible.
Speaker 5: Evil.
Speaker 2: I'm not sure she is evil. That's up for debate,
Speaker 2: but I do think what she did was evil. Now
Speaker 2: they're saying today that with the, um, now the, the
Speaker 2: verdict in the hand of the jury, the hands of
Speaker 2: the jury, that there could be any one of five
Speaker 2: different verdicts in this Trial. Five manslaughter's in there. Murder one,
Speaker 2: murder two. I don't even know what else. So, really,
Speaker 2: how complex has this case, Takapina, turned out to be?
Speaker 13: Incredibly complex, because it's not just a whodunit. It's a why.
Speaker 2: Right, there's no whodunit. She admitted she did it. She
Speaker 2: admitted she killed the kids.
Speaker 13: Right, so then you now have to unbuckle all these...
Speaker 13: sort of experts and their testimony and who's more credible.
Speaker 13: One expert says something, another says something else. And then
Speaker 13: there's the common sense factor. You know, I always remind
Speaker 13: jurors when I speak to them, I say, you know,
Speaker 13: ladies and gentlemen, there is no such thing as jury school, okay?
Speaker 13: You don't need any special skill set to be here.
Speaker 13: All you need is your God-given common sense. And to
Speaker 13: be fair and impartial. Don't come in here with any
Speaker 13: biases or motives or leaning one way or another. Just
Speaker 13: be open-minded, God-given common sense, follow the law and follow
Speaker 13: the facts, and you'll do okay, ladies and gentlemen. Because
Speaker 13: jurors are nervous that they don't know how to do
Speaker 13: this stuff. There's nothing to it. But this case is complex.
Speaker 13: There are five different potential words, but actually there are
Speaker 13: six different outcomes, potential outcomes, right? Because you have to
Speaker 13: also throw a hung jury in there. That's a sixth
Speaker 13: potential outcome. But the five different potential, it's a first
Speaker 13: degree murder, right? That's the top dog there. That's under
Speaker 13: a deliberate premeditation. But there's an element of extreme atrocity
Speaker 13: or cruelty. OK, that's life in prison without parole. That's
Speaker 13: first degree murder. Second degree murder, which is still murder.
Speaker 13: You know, they have to find a criminal responsible for
Speaker 13: the murder, but doesn't find the element of first degree murder.
Speaker 13: That would be the cruelty or atrocity element. That can
Speaker 13: be life in prison, but there is the possibility of parole.
Speaker 13: Then you go down the pecking order. Then there's manslaughter, right?
Speaker 13: It's basically essentially the compromised criminal verdict manslaughter in any
Speaker 13: homicide case. So, yes, she was criminally responsible, but the
Speaker 13: culpability did not rise to murder. And that's 20 years
Speaker 13: max on each count. The judge could also run them consecutively,
Speaker 13: which for all intents and purposes becomes life. Then you
Speaker 13: have not. Here's the one that I think is going
Speaker 13: to be the one. Not guilty by lack of criminal responsibility.
Speaker 13: I'm looking at the verdict sheet, right? So not guilty
Speaker 13: by lack of criminal responsibility is basically the insanity verdict
Speaker 13: in Massachusetts, okay? That's the key question, whether because of
Speaker 13: mental disease or defect, was she unable to appreciate... The
Speaker 13: wrongfulness of what she was doing or able to conform
Speaker 13: her conduct to the law. So she doesn't get to
Speaker 13: walk away. She just gets committed to a state psychiatric
Speaker 13: hospital facility. And then, of course, it's not guilty. That's
Speaker 13: never happening. That's a straight. It will go home. You know,
Speaker 13: you're not guilty. I ain't happening.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 9: Right.
Speaker 13: But I do think the not guilty by lack of
Speaker 13: criminal responsibility is the one.
Speaker 2: So do I.
Speaker 13: I had it. That's where I go. It's not a walk.
Speaker 2: Away, right? I mean, the only thing, the only thing is,
Speaker 2: is I'm with you. I think that's what they do too.
Speaker 2: And I think that would be the fairest outcome. I
Speaker 2: really do. The only thing I have to say to
Speaker 2: you is where folks get upset is, but yeah, but Sid,
Speaker 2: she actually asked her husband to leave the house, right?
Speaker 2: Go pick up this, go pick up that because she
Speaker 2: knew once he left the house, she can kill the kids.
Speaker 2: So it wasn't like she's sitting there and she just
Speaker 2: goes nuts, right? So to a certain extent, that's a
Speaker 2: little planned, a little, or no.
Speaker 13: Yeah, you can plan and still be.
Speaker 33: Insane.
Speaker 13: You can plan and still have an insanity defense or
Speaker 13: a verdict of this type. I mean, you can do it.
Speaker 13: Not guilty by lack of criminal responsibility, because if you
Speaker 13: believe the expert of the defense, that Dr. Resnick, who
Speaker 13: by all accounts and reports, I didn't watch every second
Speaker 13: of the testimony of other things to do, but I've
Speaker 13: read that he was very good. And what he testified
Speaker 13: to was that she was experiencing these things called command hallucinations, right?
Speaker 13: And a delusion of influence. So command hallucinations, like someone's
Speaker 13: telling you to do something and whatnot. Now, look, we
Speaker 13: don't know. We can't get inside someone's brain. You know,
Speaker 13: it sounds weird. Like the son of Sam. Remember the
Speaker 13: son of Sam when we were kids?
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 13: You know, the dog told him to do that.
Speaker 2: That's right. That's right.
Speaker 13: And, you know.
Speaker 2: And again, just last week, we brought this up on Monday,
Speaker 2: this young man in Pennsylvania who killed this beautiful young
Speaker 2: girl on her way to Pennsylvania University on a soccer scholarship.
Speaker 2: He said he heard demons, but he had way too
Speaker 2: much planning. Way too much.
Speaker 13: But yet he also got mad at her because she
Speaker 13: said something.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 13: I mean, I heard demons is a great line in
Speaker 13: there when you have no defense at all.
Speaker 5: You got caught red-handed. Yeah.
Speaker 13: You're disposing of the body, disposing of the evidence. You
Speaker 13: call mommy to help. You know, you had a motive
Speaker 13: because you got angry. You lost your mind. And you
Speaker 13: did some horrible, disgusting, and despicable. So what are you
Speaker 13: going to say? Self-defense? She was scaring me? No. You're
Speaker 13: going to say, oh, I heard demons. Okay. Bingo. So
Speaker 13: now we have insanity. So the problem with that is
Speaker 13: it has to actually develop. forensically. It has to develop
Speaker 13: by a medical doctor who's going to evaluate that. Anyone
Speaker 13: could just say, I heard demons. There's got to be
Speaker 13: outside corroborating proof that there really was something mentally off there. Here,
Speaker 13: I think you have plenty of it, right? I just
Speaker 13: think you have plenty of it. Because the state, the Commonwealth,
Speaker 13: has to prove criminal responsibility beyond a reasonable doubt. And remember,
Speaker 13: that is a massive hurdle in our system. So you
Speaker 13: could think that maybe she was criminally responsible. You could
Speaker 13: think I'm probably certain she was criminally responsible. Sid, maybe
Speaker 13: and probably certain in the criminal justice system equals not guilty.
Speaker 2: Not guilty.
Speaker 13: So remember that. So even if we think, oh, come on,
Speaker 13: That's not enough. I mean, they have to prove this
Speaker 13: case beyond a reasonable doubt. And that's any doubt based
Speaker 13: on reason. If you have one of those, not guilty
Speaker 13: of that count anyway.
Speaker 2: Joe Tacopini, the absolute best. What an amazing appearance today
Speaker 2: between the Army stuff and Lindsey Clancy. God, I love
Speaker 2: you so much. Nobody better. But that was great, Joe.
Speaker 2: Have a great weekend. Thank you, God. You are the best.
Speaker 2: How great was that? Joseph Tacopini on the Army and
Speaker 2: Lindsey Clancy. That's my guy. Going on 49 years. Two
Speaker 2: of us in the polyglot the old poly prep annual yearbook.
Speaker 2: You've heard this a million times before. You're going to
Speaker 2: hear it again. Two of us, it was either the
Speaker 2: sixth or seventh grade. I forget exactly which one. Danny
Speaker 2: Pagliano may know. Gary Hanna may know. We were voted,
Speaker 2: Takapina and Rosenberg, the two least likely, least likely to succeed.
Speaker 2: And now he's the best defense attorney in the world.
Speaker 2: And I'm the best radio voice in the world. That's
Speaker 2: a pretty good call back in sixth or seventh grade.
Speaker 2: They were all over that one. All over that one.
Speaker 2: In the meantime, all those people that said that about me,
Speaker 2: they're either in prison, dead, or running, you know, dessert
Speaker 2: shops somewhere, basically. You know what I'm saying, Lou, right?
Speaker 4: So at least you're not vindictive about it.
Speaker 2: That's good.
Speaker 4: Is there anybody you want to spit in the face
Speaker 4: of right now?
Speaker 2: I've maintained that resentment for a long time. I forgive
Speaker 2: every time. I'm the nicest guy you'll ever meet. You
Speaker 2: know that. I do know that. But I never forget.
Speaker 4: They could still be mutually exclusive.
Speaker 2: I forgive. I don't forget. I don't forget. So I'm
Speaker 2: a nice guy. Look, I'm old. I'm going to be
Speaker 2: 60 in April. I hate altercation. I hate confrontation. I
Speaker 2: don't like it. I come on the air and I
Speaker 2: beat the living daylights out of people. I do because
Speaker 2: they're bad people. They're bad people. And someone's got to
Speaker 2: do it. Someone has to do it. And I'm not afraid.
Speaker 2: I'm not afraid to get punched across the face. It's
Speaker 2: happened to me a million times. I managed to hit
Speaker 2: every single step at the palladium when somebody punched me
Speaker 2: in the face at the very top of the stairs.
Speaker 2: I managed to hit every single step. I'm not afraid.
Speaker 2: So here for these four hours, I mess with everybody.
Speaker 2: But once it's over, well, I have Twitter too. That's
Speaker 2: another issue. I got to work on that. But otherwise,
Speaker 2: I'm a nice guy. I don't You know what I'm saying, Lou?
Speaker 2: I mean, you're with me? Come on.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I have agreed twice. I know you're a nice guy. Yes.
Speaker 2: But I get angry about certain things, but I do
Speaker 2: remember people who said you'd amount to nothing. I mean,
Speaker 2: I'm going to do this quickly. We went for dinner
Speaker 2: one time in Boca Raton many years ago, Danielle and I,
Speaker 2: and I was really having a difficult time. I was.
Speaker 2: And I wasn't doing very well, and people knew it.
Speaker 2: And somebody at the dinner table actually basically said, your
Speaker 2: husband's a loser. I know he's doing radio, but he's
Speaker 2: a loser, and You know, what are you going to do,
Speaker 2: you know? And she got upset at dinner. Then I
Speaker 2: got upset. Don't get upset. Who cares what he says?
Speaker 2: He's a loser. But she loves me, and she got upset,
Speaker 2: you know. And I remember that guy, and she remembers
Speaker 2: that guy very, very well because as tough as I
Speaker 2: can be, Danielle's a heck of a lot tougher. So
Speaker 2: I just don't forget.
Speaker 13: She's beautiful.
Speaker 2: Scarier, yeah. Yeah, no question.
Speaker 4: A few-crosser.
Speaker 2: Don't do that. We're done for this hour.
Speaker 4: How are things going, Danielle?
Speaker 8: Good?
Speaker 4: All right, good. I'll get that for you.
Speaker 2: I want you to be nice. Thank you very much.
Speaker 2: I'll do that. Until it's time. Until it's time. To
Speaker 2: not be nice. That's right. Okay, about an hour to go.
Speaker 2: Lou Rapinoe, we'll take a quick break. Come back. We've
Speaker 2: got the news. Janice Dean's going to stop by. Sid
Speaker 2: and Friends in.
Speaker 1: The Morning on the Red Apple Podcast Network.
Speaker 2: I enjoyed it for a while living in the city
Speaker 2: and had a doorman and all that was great. But
Speaker 2: I love my own house. I do. But man, does
Speaker 2: it become expensive? I don't care. It just becomes it's
Speaker 2: one thing after another. And now we're in the midst
Speaker 2: of a huge job. huge job. Some of my bricks
Speaker 2: not pointed correctly and literally moving away from the house.
Speaker 2: We get leaks all the time. You guys know this.
Speaker 2: It's been a disaster. At one point, we had to
Speaker 2: move out for six months because all my pipes burst.
Speaker 2: So while my house is gorgeous and we love the neighborhood,
Speaker 2: we do. Most of the people, 99% are great. Couple
Speaker 2: of assholes, but that's fine. They don't bother me. We
Speaker 2: love it there. It has become very expensive to live there.
Speaker 2: So my buddy, Rich Clift is the guy that keeps
Speaker 2: working on my house. He rebuilt the house after the
Speaker 2: water damage. And now he's taking out all these bricks
Speaker 2: and basically rebuilding it again. Rich Clift, a lot of money.
Speaker 2: And Joe from right way with the, uh, You know,
Speaker 2: with the dumpster, it's a lot of money. Everything's a
Speaker 2: lot of money. Everything's a lot of money. Doesn't matter
Speaker 2: how much they love me. I love the show. It's
Speaker 2: a lot of money, but we got to do it.
Speaker 2: I mean, the house is like literally coming apart. So
Speaker 2: all you guys out there, especially you, which cliff, thank
Speaker 2: you for working hard. It is loud too, man. That
Speaker 2: work is loud. They're bashing. And I don't know. It's just,
Speaker 2: it's expensive. You know, you guys both live in apartments.
Speaker 2: So I guess to that respect, you're kind of lucky.
Speaker 4: I mean, the grass is always greener, so while I
Speaker 4: appreciate when I hear this, I always appreciate, ah, just
Speaker 4: go home.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 5: Fresh.
Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 5: That's it.
Speaker 9: Right.
Speaker 4: Positives and negatives to everything, you know.
Speaker 2: Well, it got weird for me when I started to
Speaker 2: gain some real popularity in New York and I'd have
Speaker 2: to go into a building and wait for the elevator
Speaker 2: and I'd talk to people, you know.
Speaker 4: Oh, that's what I can't stand either.
Speaker 2: Like, I go home, I go home. These people would
Speaker 2: just talk my ear off. And the last place I
Speaker 2: lived was the Upper West Side in New York City
Speaker 2: and they hated me.
Speaker 4: Well, you had an extreme version of people you don't want.
Speaker 13: To talk to.
Speaker 2: Well, I thought the people liked you, actually.
Speaker 4: No, I don't care about that. It's the fact that
Speaker 4: some of them are old and they should not be
Speaker 4: by themselves. And you're like, okay, I just want to
Speaker 4: get up to my.
Speaker 7: Apartment.
Speaker 4: Now you're waiting. Then we have this thing where... Okay,
Speaker 4: we don't have a doorman or anything. So you can
Speaker 4: be letting in people that shouldn't be in.
Speaker 2: So you're building. That's no good.
Speaker 8: No.
Speaker 4: So do you know how many countless meetings there have been?
Speaker 4: And I don't get involved in these. Like, okay, here's
Speaker 4: the new thing. Don't let anybody in that you don't know.
Speaker 2: Makes sense.
Speaker 10: Right.
Speaker 4: But people still do it.
Speaker 2: I know.
Speaker 4: Because they're knocking on the thing and you're looking at
Speaker 4: them like, I don't know who the heck you are.
Speaker 4: You're not coming in here.
Speaker 27: Yeah.
Speaker 4: We've had packages stolen. People almost assaulted.
Speaker 2: Oh my God. Yeah.
Speaker 4: So it's a problem.
Speaker 2: Big problem.
Speaker 4: And my building has a couple of morons in it
Speaker 4: who have, we've had work done and we've had the
Speaker 4: door fixed. And when it takes too long and it
Speaker 4: doesn't go to their liking, guess what they do? They
Speaker 4: don't stay in house. They call 3-1-1.
Speaker 2: Oh my God.
Speaker 4: Do you want to guess what that takes?
Speaker 2: How long?
Speaker 4: They put a stop to the project. Because these idiots
Speaker 4: in the building don't understand what that means to call 3-1-1.
Speaker 4: So 3-1-1 calls the company. This is a work stoppage
Speaker 4: until we can investigate what.
Speaker 2: You're doing wrong.
Speaker 4: Now, that's a month to two months.
Speaker 12: Oh, God.
Speaker 4: So they stop the procedure.
Speaker 12: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Then it starts again and somebody else calls 3-1-1.
Speaker 2: No, no good. This is no good.
Speaker 15: I'm telling you.
Speaker 2: This is no good.
Speaker 4: There are morons in my building.
Speaker 27: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Well, I think every building. I think every building.
Speaker 4: You just call the superintendent or the company, the guy
Speaker 4: who runs the building.
Speaker 9: Sure.
Speaker 4: That's all you have to do. That doesn't take a
Speaker 4: degree in cold fusion. But these idiots, oh, there's a problem.
Speaker 4: I'm going to call 311.
Speaker 2: How long have you lived in that building? That specific building.
Speaker 2: Long time, right?
Speaker 4: MJ's had it since 06. Oh, wow.
Speaker 2: 20 years.
Speaker 30: Yeah.
Speaker 4: So we were back and forth in Woodside. She's kept it.
Speaker 9: Yeah.
Speaker 4: And then we lived in Woodside. Then we went back
Speaker 4: in there when I was forced out.
Speaker 9: Yeah.
Speaker 4: And but I have never I have never lived with
Speaker 4: the the elevator they've called on that got stopped. Our
Speaker 4: terraces have now been closed for about three years now.
Speaker 2: I don't know about all this. I know. Trust me.
Speaker 4: I haven't been able to use my terrace.
Speaker 2: My sister, my mother and sister, they had condominiums in
Speaker 2: South Florida and they shut the pool down. Shut the pool.
Speaker 4: They haven't had.
Speaker 2: A pool down there in their big buildings, big, beautiful
Speaker 2: buildings on the water, Aventura. Haven't had a pool for
Speaker 2: three years. Now, my brother-in-law bought a house, Albert, in
Speaker 2: Parkland anyway, Sherry. It's a gorgeous house. So they're out
Speaker 2: of there. But for like three years, they never had
Speaker 2: a pool.
Speaker 4: Why? Because of an issue?
Speaker 2: There was an issue with the pool and they didn't
Speaker 2: fix it for three years. So if I visited them,
Speaker 2: I went to the beach in Hallandale. It's ridiculous. And
Speaker 2: when I lived in that Upper West Side apartment, my
Speaker 2: last apartment, right on, I guess it was, what is
Speaker 2: it called? West End or I guess West End, between
Speaker 2: 104th and 105th. We lived on the 14th floor. The
Speaker 2: elevator was always broken, always. So back then, I used
Speaker 2: to shop at Gristiti's on 103rd and Broadway. I would
Speaker 2: buy my groceries at Gristiti's, have to walk it over
Speaker 2: to East End Avenue, I guess, on 104th, and then
Speaker 2: walk it 14 flights up to my apartment. So I
Speaker 2: would always text them and go, hey, I'm taking money
Speaker 2: off the rent this month. No, you're not. Even COVID.
Speaker 2: During COVID, I said, you're not getting the same amount
Speaker 2: of rent.
Speaker 7: Sorry.
Speaker 2: And they did accept that. They had no choice. Plus,
Speaker 2: I took the whole gym from the basement, put it
Speaker 2: in my apartment. Swear to God. Literally took the whole gym.
Speaker 2: You walked inside my apartment. There was a weight bench.
Speaker 2: There were weights everywhere. I'm like, listen, you shut the gym.
Speaker 2: No one's using it. It's closed because of COVID. I'm
Speaker 2: going to use it. And when I'm done, I'll put
Speaker 2: it back. Even with the reduction in price during COVID,
Speaker 2: I still spent the most. It was just impossible. The
Speaker 2: elevator was always broken. Always. They promised me a sunroof.
Speaker 2: I lived there for three years. Never got a sunroof.
Speaker 2: We're working on it.
Speaker 4: Plus there's maintenance fees you're paying.
Speaker 7: I know.
Speaker 4: You're paying maintenance fees.
Speaker 2: Up the ass. Outrageous.
Speaker 4: And I tell MJ, just cut it. Cut it.
Speaker 2: We own these.
Speaker 4: We're supposed to have terrace access.
Speaker 2: Of course.
Speaker 4: If you want to hire a company that takes three
Speaker 4: damn years to fix this, all the terraces, then the...
Speaker 4: The price should go down.
Speaker 33: 100%.
Speaker 2: Of course.
Speaker 9: Yeah.
Speaker 7: Of course.
Speaker 2: But it doesn't. No chance.
Speaker 4: Things go up.
Speaker 2: We've got a big charity about to take place in
Speaker 2: the city. Our dear friend Janice Dean, she was on
Speaker 2: a couple of weeks ago. She's raising money for nursing homes.
Speaker 2: She's going to tell us about this big charity she
Speaker 2: has coming up, I believe, next week. It may be Monday.
Speaker 2: And how you get involved. Our old buddy from Fox
Speaker 2: News and the Imus in the Morning Show.
Speaker 10: Sid and Friends in the Morning on the Red Apple
Speaker 10: Podcast Network.
Speaker 2: Our great friend, the very talented Janice Dean. Janice, you
Speaker 2: are Canadian. Are you a big Neil Young fan?
Speaker 17: That's a terrible Neil Young song.
Speaker 8: Oh, yeah.
Speaker 2: What do you like? Do you like Harvest Moon? What
Speaker 2: do you like? What's your.
Speaker 17: You know, he's fine. He did a good job when
Speaker 17: he was with Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young.
Speaker 2: He did that. He wrote that song, too, which was
Speaker 2: good with the.
Speaker 2: 25-year commemoration of 9-11 coming up. He wrote that song
Speaker 2: about United Flight 93 passengers. Let's roll. Remember that?
Speaker 9: I do.
Speaker 2: Yes.
Speaker 17: A wonderful song by Neil Young. I'm a Rush fan.
Speaker 17: And I love that they're touring. And I was a
Speaker 17: little worried because I thought, how can they tour without
Speaker 17: Neil Peart? I mean, how is that possible? I was
Speaker 17: actually mad at them. But this drummer that is subbing
Speaker 17: in for the great Neil Peart, who we lost to young,
Speaker 17: she's fantastic.
Speaker 7: She is.
Speaker 17: Good for Rush.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Lou said that. Lou said she was really good.
Speaker 2: And we play Rush here all the time. We love Limelight.
Speaker 2: And don't forget, The song that you're all favorite, the
Speaker 2: I-Man used every morning to start his show, Tom Sawyer
Speaker 2: by Rush.
Speaker 9: Right.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 17: You know what, Sid? It's 24 years ago, I think
Speaker 17: this week, that I was doing my auditions for I-Miss
Speaker 17: in the Morning.
Speaker 2: Do you believe that? Is that right? Yeah, I do
Speaker 2: believe that.
Speaker 17: Because I got the job the first week of September.
Speaker 2: The year after 9-11, so it would have been 2002
Speaker 2: you got the job with I-Miss.
Speaker 5: 2002.
Speaker 2: And then when did you get the Fox News? When
Speaker 2: was that?
Speaker 17: That was 2004, January of 2004. So I was with
Speaker 17: you guys for like a year and a couple of months.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 17: The longest year of my life. Many, many thousands of
Speaker 17: dollars in therapy.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I get it. Trust me. I'm right there with you.
Speaker 2: But it did prepare you for the real world. Let's
Speaker 2: put it that way.
Speaker 17: And it brought us together.
Speaker 2: Brought us together. That's right.
Speaker 17: And Lou and Janice again.
Speaker 2: Come on. How about that?
Speaker 4: Where's my therapy?
Speaker 2: You get it every morning right here with me, Louis,
Speaker 2: as you know.
Speaker 5: That's right.
Speaker 17: And, of course, we miss Bernard. We love you, Bernard.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we love Bernie, of course. Bernie's going to be gone.
Speaker 2: November will be, is it four years already? Four years.
Speaker 2: Maybe five.
Speaker 4: I don't know.
Speaker 2: Four in November. Yeah, four in November.
Speaker 17: Do you think him and the I-Man are, like, having
Speaker 17: fun up there?
Speaker 5: No doubt.
Speaker 2: No doubt. You can count on that. You can count
Speaker 2: on that, Bernard and the I-Man. Is Ahmed?
Speaker 17: Heaven?
Speaker 2: I don't know. He did a lot of good things.
Speaker 2: I mean, you know, kids with cancer.
Speaker 17: I've softened over the years.
Speaker 2: Me too.
Speaker 17: I really have. You know what? He brought me to
Speaker 17: New York. He's the one. Well, I don't know. I
Speaker 17: don't know if he loved me. I think it was just.
Speaker 2: Hold on. Who's got something?
Speaker 7: Wait, wait, wait.
Speaker 4: Straighten this out. Recall who fought for you.
Speaker 2: Who?
Speaker 17: I know you did.
Speaker 4: Lou, I know that.
Speaker 17: I know you thought I was the dark Canadian horse.
Speaker 4: I said it right away.
Speaker 17: And I had no chance in a double hockey stick.
Speaker 4: I said she is the best.
Speaker 2: He did. Lou was the one.
Speaker 13: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I mean, Bernie had nice things to say, too. But
Speaker 2: Lou was the one who really brought you across the
Speaker 2: finish line. I'm the same way. I've softened, too. In fact,
Speaker 2: you're not going to believe this, but I talked to
Speaker 2: Deirdre and Wyatt. Once in a while, they've congratulated me
Speaker 2: on making the Hall of Fame and the whole thing.
Speaker 2: And I do admit that a lot of the influence
Speaker 2: on my career, which has gone well, came from Imus.
Speaker 2: So the longer he's gone, the more I like him.
Speaker 2: It is what it is.
Speaker 17: I think I should have stood up for myself more.
Speaker 17: And who knows? Maybe I would have, you know, stayed
Speaker 17: with you guys. I'm not sure.
Speaker 9: That's hindsight.
Speaker 2: You just don't know. Who knows? A long time ago,
Speaker 2: of course. But look, you're doing great things now. And
Speaker 2: I know that you've got a big charity coming up.
Speaker 2: This sounds like it's going to be great. All those
Speaker 2: beautiful clothes you wore on Fox News every morning out
Speaker 2: there with the fans and doing the weather and all
Speaker 2: that fun stuff. You're about to auction all that stuff off.
Speaker 2: Is that right? Yes.
Speaker 17: So on Tuesday, September 1st at the Harrison in Floral Park,
Speaker 17: I am I have to tell you, I think I've
Speaker 17: hoarded a lot of these clothes. Like people are like,
Speaker 17: why did you save all of that stuff? And the
Speaker 17: reason is because when I find something that fits me,
Speaker 17: I keep it and I buy like five of them.
Speaker 17: So I have like. Hundreds of dresses and coats that
Speaker 17: I wore outside doing the weather and skirts and belts
Speaker 17: and jewelry that I'm giving to charity basically for under
Speaker 17: every piece will be under 50. I would say like
Speaker 17: dresses 15 to 25. And some of these coats are
Speaker 17: probably 400, $ 500. And all of the money, every single
Speaker 17: penny of it is going to go to a cause
Speaker 17: nursing home warrior. And this woman goes across New York
Speaker 17: and brings pop-ups, shops to nursing homes so that the people,
Speaker 17: the residents can come down and shop for free. She's
Speaker 17: an angel here on earth. So all of the clothes
Speaker 17: that I wore on television going to this great cause,
Speaker 17: the Harrison on Tuesday, nothing over $ 50. hundreds of items.
Speaker 17: Hugs are for free. There is an admission charge, but
Speaker 17: open bar and also lots of hors d'oeuvres. And listen,
Speaker 17: I know you got a lot of male fans out
Speaker 17: there listening. Buy the ticket for your wife. She will
Speaker 17: love you. This is a great present for your wife.
Speaker 2: You'd be surprised. 48% of my listeners are female, believe
Speaker 2: it or not.
Speaker 17: Go girl!
Speaker 2: Yeah, this isn't the fam. We're not talking about the
Speaker 2: Mets and the Yankees, okay? We're talking about something Moms
Speaker 2: care about and females love and plus I'm so good looking.
Speaker 2: They love this show. You kidding me? They love it.
Speaker 2: But this specific event, this woman that you're talking about,
Speaker 2: my God, what is her name? Who is this lady?
Speaker 2: She's amazing.
Speaker 17: She's amazing. Her name is Danielle, and she has been
Speaker 17: in nursing homes for 35 years. She's a nutritionist. You
Speaker 17: should have her on your program. She started this charity
Speaker 17: because she realized that a lot of these residents don't
Speaker 17: have visitors, don't have family, and they barely get stipends
Speaker 17: for clothing. So she goes in and she gets clothes
Speaker 17: from all over the place, from big chains. and barely
Speaker 17: use clothes and they go in and they think they
Speaker 17: have to pay for these items and they're for free.
Speaker 17: So she's just amazing. Her cause is nursing home warrior,
Speaker 17: lots of volunteers, but it just warms my heart because
Speaker 17: I lost my in-laws in nursing homes during the pandemic.
Speaker 17: So I'm trying to give back to all of those
Speaker 17: residents that some of them are left behind and we
Speaker 17: have to love them too.
Speaker 2: Let me ask you this. How many boats, Janice Dean,
Speaker 2: did Christopher Columbus use? Shut up, Lou. In 1492, in
Speaker 2: his courageous trip when he found America. How many boats?
Speaker 17: You're asking me trivia right now?
Speaker 2: Yes, I am. Well, you've heard of the Nina, correct?
Speaker 17: I'm thinking it was one boat.
Speaker 13: No.
Speaker 2: You've heard of the Nina, yes?
Speaker 12: Yes.
Speaker 17: Sure.
Speaker 2: You've heard of the Pinta?
Speaker 5: Yes?
Speaker 17: Nope.
Speaker 26: Oh, wow.
Speaker 2: You see it from Canada.
Speaker 10: Oh, my God.
Speaker 17: I thought you were going to ask me questions about Canada.
Speaker 2: No, because there were three boats. The Nina, the Pinta,
Speaker 2: and the Santa Maria. Those were the three boats.
Speaker 17: I knew the Santa Maria.
Speaker 2: Listen, those are the three boats that Christopher Columbus used
Speaker 2: on his courageous trek when he found America in 1492.
Speaker 2: Three boats. Three boats unless you ask one man. Are
Speaker 2: you prepared to listen to this?
Speaker 17: Of course. I won a prize.
Speaker 2: No, you're not going to win a prize. But you're
Speaker 2: going to be like, oh, my God. Cut number one.
Speaker 2: Go ahead, Lou.
Speaker 7: Does it piss you off when people try to... On Columbus?
Speaker 7: Like Native Americans and stuff?
Speaker 5: Christopher Columbus, right?
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 5: He was a degenerate. He had his problems.
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 5: He had his eccentricities.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 5: He was Jewish. Did you know that?
Speaker 7: It's actually fake.
Speaker 5: No, no.
Speaker 7: They try to say he's.
Speaker 5: Jewish, but he's not. No, he had a brush. Trust me.
Speaker 5: He had to drop his drawers to prove that. He
Speaker 5: had a brisk.
Speaker 13: Come on.
Speaker 7: Some people just like that style.
Speaker 5: You know, back then.
Speaker 7: People like a hoodless style.
Speaker 11: You know, why do you think he had to escape
Speaker 11: Spain in 1492 when.
Speaker 12: Queen Isabella and King Ferdinand launched the Inquisition on your
Speaker 12: people and said either convert or die? And he decided
Speaker 12: to leave with the Nina, the Pinta, the Santa, and
Speaker 12: the Maria.
Speaker 7: Well, there's three, actually, the Santa and the Maria.
Speaker 5: No, no, you're wrong.
Speaker 7: No, no, Santa Maria was the third one.
Speaker 5: The Nina, the Pinta, the Santa, and the Maria.
Speaker 7: The Nina, the Pinta, and the Santa Maria.
Speaker 5: That's right. Four of the chefs.
Speaker 2: No, no.
Speaker 5: Three of them made it. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Not true.
Speaker 5: As he went.
Speaker 14: Oh, so he called one the Santa Maria after one lot.
Speaker 14: He combined the names?
Speaker 5: Excuse me?
Speaker 7: Nothing.
Speaker 8: Are you trying to instruct me on the hero of
Speaker 8: my peeps, Christopher Columbus?
Speaker 15: I thought you, so you're Jewish. No, he is Jewish.
Speaker 2: So I don't know who this guy is. His name
Speaker 2: is Andrew Friedman, but I know you recognize the other voice.
Speaker 2: I know you love him. That's fine. I don't care.
Speaker 2: I don't dislike him either, but I mean, this moron actually.
Speaker 2: Said there were four boats, and the Santa and Maria
Speaker 2: were different boats. That's the first thing you learn. That's
Speaker 2: the first thing you learn. And he's a smart guy.
Speaker 2: I'm the first to admit it, Janice. No one knows
Speaker 2: more about the history of New York than Curtis.
Speaker 26: Nobody.
Speaker 2: He's a very smart guy. How do you screw that up?
Speaker 2: I don't know. When was that?
Speaker 7: Yesterday.
Speaker 30: No.
Speaker 2: Yes, this week. This week. So he's getting murdered.
Speaker 7: What a joke.
Speaker 2: He wasn't joking. No. He's getting killed all over social media. Like, again,
Speaker 2: I'm the person. I mean, he's a smart guy. He's
Speaker 2: a much smarter history guy than I am. I'll say it.
Speaker 2: He is. But, no, there were three boats, not four,
Speaker 2: in the Santa Maria. It was one boat.
Speaker 17: You know what they say. All press is good press.
Speaker 9: Oh, no, no.
Speaker 2: That's not true. Trust me, Janice. Trust me. Just trust me.
Speaker 2: If anybody can tell you that's not true, it's me.
Speaker 2: One more time, let's go over this. Really, it's an
Speaker 2: incredible day you've got coming up on Tuesday and how
Speaker 2: folks can come by and enjoy this. This is really
Speaker 2: great stuff, Janice. Yes.
Speaker 17: And there's two sessions, by the way. So 4 to
Speaker 17: 6 p.m. and then 7 to 9 p.m. All new
Speaker 17: stuff in both sessions. So you're not going to come
Speaker 17: into the first session and take everything. We're going to
Speaker 17: hold some stuff behind. There's hundreds of items that you
Speaker 17: can get. If you go on social media, you can
Speaker 17: see some of the beautiful coats, cashmere 100%. a barely
Speaker 17: worn outfit and all of it going to charity. It's
Speaker 17: the Harrison and Floral Park. If you've ever been there,
Speaker 17: beautiful restaurant. We've got the whole back room and it's
Speaker 17: going to be so much fun. I've got lots of
Speaker 17: giveaways too, and we'll do some trivia. We'll do the
Speaker 17: Christopher Columbus question and see if you can win.
Speaker 2: You're good. I got to tell you, you're really very,
Speaker 2: very good. You're very talented. You're very sweet, and you're
Speaker 2: just a great soul.

Speaker 9: Sounds good.
Speaker 3: All right.
Speaker 2: What a great job. Bye, Janice.
Speaker 5: Miss you.
Speaker 2: What a great job. We love her. Janice Dean. Got
Speaker 2: to love that girl. She's funny, too. You know, when
Speaker 2: she was on radio with I Miss You, it was very,
Speaker 2: very funny.
Speaker 4: She was hilarious.
Speaker 2: She did the scum report, if I remember correctly. Remember that?
Speaker 2: It was called The Scum Report, right?
Speaker 4: Yeah, but Janice was great on the air everywhere.
Speaker 2: Everywhere.
Speaker 4: I saw TV tapes of her before she came to
Speaker 4: New York.
Speaker 2: She was good in Canada, right?
Speaker 15: Yes, she was great.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: She has a personality.
Speaker 2: She's got a men's personality.
Speaker 4: She has a personality.
Speaker 2: She's got all that.
Speaker 5: She's smart.
Speaker 2: And she's a good woman, good lady.
Speaker 4: She was good for the ships.
Speaker 9: Right.
Speaker 2: She had no idea there was only one, Danina. I
Speaker 2: guess that's a harder question than I thought.
Speaker 4: Well, she only had to get to Canada. She didn't
Speaker 4: have to get here.
Speaker 2: That's a lovely, talented lady. Good luck on Tuesday, John Estine.
