Did you know that? 25 00:01:06.829 --> 00:01:07.980 It's actually fake. 26 00:01:08.200 --> 00:01:08.599 No, no. 27 00:01:08.640 --> 00:01:09.500 They try to say. 28 00:01:09.400 --> 00:01:10.780 He's Jewish, but he's not. No, he had a voice. 29 00:01:11.120 --> 00:01:14.069 Trust me. He had to drop his drawers to prove that. 30 00:01:14.109 --> 00:01:14.689 He had a brisk. 31 00:01:14.709 --> 00:01:14.870 Come on. 32 00:01:14.870 --> 00:01:15.829 Some people just like that style. 33 00:01:15.849 --> 00:01:16.870 You know, back then, that's how. 34 00:01:16.890 --> 00:01:17.909 People like a hoodless style. 35 00:01:17.930 --> 00:01:19.810 You know, why do you think he had to escape 36 00:01:19.939 --> 00:01:22.480 Spain in 1492? He was doing it on behalf of. 37 00:01:22.500 --> 00:01:26.939 When Queen Isabella and King Ferdinand launched the Inquisition on 38 00:01:26.959 --> 00:01:29.700 your people and said either convert or die. And he 39 00:01:29.739 --> 00:01:32.560 decided to leave with the Nina, the Pinta, the Santa, 40 00:01:32.620 --> 00:01:33.219 and the Maria. 41 00:01:33.260 --> 00:01:33.500 Yeah. 42 00:01:33.560 --> 00:01:34.620 Well, there's three, actually. 43 00:01:34.670 --> 00:01:35.140 The Santa Maria. 44 00:01:35.170 --> 00:01:35.370 No, no, no. 45 00:01:35.530 --> 00:01:36.209 No, no, you're wrong. 46 00:01:36.329 --> 00:01:37.489 No, no, Santa Maria was the third one. 47 00:01:37.510 --> 00:01:39.849 The Nina, the Pinta, the Santa, and the Maria. 48 00:01:39.930 --> 00:01:42.049 The Nina, the Pinta, and the Santa Maria. 49 00:01:42.090 --> 00:01:44.620 That's right.

No, he is Jewish. 59 00:02:01.750 --> 00:02:05.489 President Trump is not expected to attend this year's 9-11 60 00:02:05.549 --> 00:02:09.840 ceremonies at the September 11th memorial in lower Manhattan. Instead, 61 00:02:09.879 --> 00:02:13.699 he's expected to commemorate the 25th anniversary at the Pentagon 62 00:02:14.000 --> 00:02:17.990 where he'll deliver remarks. Vice President J.D. Vance will represent 63 00:02:18.050 --> 00:02:22.389 the Trump administration in Lower Manhattan. Mayor Mamdani will also attend, 64 00:02:22.449 --> 00:02:26.349 despite the wishes of select 9-11 family members who don't 65 00:02:26.490 --> 00:02:27.250 want him there. 66 00:02:27.349 --> 00:02:27.990 Jeanette Pick? 67 00:02:28.189 --> 00:02:29.659 Dude, we don't want you there. 68 00:02:30.560 --> 00:02:34.840 When I say we, I mean myself and the almost 90,000 69 00:02:34.840 --> 00:02:38.219 people who have signed the Change.org petition. I don't know 70 00:02:38.300 --> 00:02:41.439 how else we can say this to you. We've gone 71 00:02:41.490 --> 00:02:46.800 to the media. We've, you know... had a petition started. Literally, 72 00:02:46.819 --> 00:02:49.319 Scott Lobato put it in skywriting. I don't know how 73 00:02:49.360 --> 00:02:52.400 much clearer we can tell you. We don't want you there. Like, dude, 74 00:02:52.520 --> 00:02:54.340 I don't like what don't you get? 75 00:02:54.360 --> 00:02:58.939 And if Jews in America keep putting this this idea 76 00:02:59.000 --> 00:03:03.300 out there that they are singularly invested in Israel, eventually 77 00:03:03.340 --> 00:03:04.400 someone's going to come around. 78 00:03:05.530 --> 00:03:06.250 And take action. 79 00:03:06.310 --> 00:03:11.250 Better watch out, Jews. If we don't all collectively annihilate ourselves, 80 00:03:11.569 --> 00:03:15.939 this super tough anchor baby who looks like Rachel Maddow 81 00:03:15.979 --> 00:03:19.020 if she took as much testosterone as he does says 82 00:03:19.139 --> 00:03:22.000 someone else will do it for us. 83 00:03:22.439 --> 00:03:24.500 Not against the state of Israel, mind you, but against 84 00:03:24.580 --> 00:03:25.400 American Jews. 85 00:03:25.580 --> 00:03:28.960 Assuming we're all still going to let ourselves be all 86 00:03:28.990 --> 00:03:31.569 who walk barred at the demands of this game chair 87 00:03:31.789 --> 00:03:39.909 edgelord and his traitors. Gucci purse. For someone who hates Jews, 88 00:03:40.250 --> 00:03:43.289 this dweeb is more of a Jap than I am. Yeah, 89 00:03:43.349 --> 00:03:46.000 so it's not that we're scared of him. It's that 90 00:03:46.300 --> 00:03:51.099 everyone knows what would happen to someone who dares to say, hey, 91 00:03:51.180 --> 00:03:55.500 American Muslims, if nearly half of you continue to get 92 00:03:55.620 --> 00:03:59.650 off on the same barbarianism that Rolling Stone's favorite cover 93 00:03:59.689 --> 00:04:00.659 boy cheerleads. 94 00:04:00.879 --> 00:04:01.479 Doesn't matter. 95 00:04:01.500 --> 00:04:03.699 Doesn't matter if f * * * ing rapes happen 96 00:04:03.780 --> 00:04:04.490 on October 7th. 97 00:04:04.530 --> 00:04:08.939 People might... Once you kicked out, it's because we already 98 00:04:09.000 --> 00:04:12.439 know what would happen to anyone who draws a picture 99 00:04:12.879 --> 00:04:15.680 of their profit. But preaching this. 100 00:04:16.100 --> 00:04:17.920 America deserved 9-11. This. 101 00:04:18.300 --> 00:04:20.980 If you cared about Medicare fraud or Medicaid fraud. 102 00:04:21.259 --> 00:04:23.040 You would kill Rick Scott. 103 00:04:23.180 --> 00:04:25.620 This. I wipe my ass with the Constitution. 104 00:04:25.870 --> 00:04:26.500 And this. 105 00:04:26.870 --> 00:04:28.230 I want to fucking kill him, dude. 106 00:04:28.350 --> 00:04:32.389 We'll get the giddy beached whales of America's most biased 107 00:04:32.629 --> 00:04:36.730 news sites giggling in agreement. as you casually preach about 108 00:04:36.810 --> 00:04:41.920 hunting down infidels of the less-Islamo-communist alliance and their Western 109 00:04:42.000 --> 00:04:43.040 propaganda arm. 110 00:04:43.220 --> 00:04:50.459 Engels wrote about the concept of social murder, and Brian Thompson, 111 00:04:50.480 --> 00:04:55.610 as the UnitedHealthcare CEO, was... engaging in a tremendous amount 112 00:04:55.649 --> 00:04:57.009 of social murder. 113 00:04:57.149 --> 00:05:00.629 It's that the elitist media will clean up after politicians 114 00:05:00.670 --> 00:05:04.120 who use Hasan Piker as a kingpin until he's no 115 00:05:04.149 --> 00:05:04.980 longer useful. 116 00:05:05.360 --> 00:05:06.740 On the other hand, he has a whole lot of 117 00:05:06.769 --> 00:05:08.800 followers and there's a lot of things that he's saying 118 00:05:08.829 --> 00:05:10.279 that are making sense to a lot of people. 119 00:05:10.420 --> 00:05:13.279 A lot of sense to those whose entire universe is 120 00:05:13.319 --> 00:05:15.980 an echo chamber of the leftist media. 121 00:05:16.220 --> 00:05:22.120 Mao Zedong is one of the great leaders of this world, okay? 122 00:05:25.199 --> 00:05:26.250 Entire universe. 123 00:05:27.170 --> 00:05:30.389 I think we've learned from President Trump that when he's 124 00:05:30.430 --> 00:05:35.879 not happy with a partner or another country, he'll make 125 00:05:35.920 --> 00:05:38.579 a move like this is what he's doing with Canada. 126 00:05:38.680 --> 00:05:42.980 He signed an executive order now changing the name of 127 00:05:43.100 --> 00:05:49.829 Lake Ontario to Lake America. Now, he can't unilaterally rename 128 00:05:50.850 --> 00:05:54.829 Lake Ontario for Canada and the world. Lake Ontario is 129 00:05:54.870 --> 00:05:59.129 a shared international body of water between New York and Ontario, Canada. 130 00:05:59.189 --> 00:06:02.220 But what Trump can do is he can direct the U.S. 131 00:06:02.240 --> 00:06:05.720 government to use Lake America now in federal maps and 132 00:06:05.779 --> 00:06:08.699 documents and other official U.S. 133 00:06:09.339 --> 00:06:10.620 Government references. 134 00:06:11.980 --> 00:06:13.079 Though the U.S. 135 00:06:13.100 --> 00:06:16.500 Geographic naming process, he can do it through that. But, 136 00:06:16.819 --> 00:06:18.610 you know, you'll remember he did this also with the 137 00:06:18.629 --> 00:06:21.670 Gulf of Mexico, renaming it to the Gulf of America. 138 00:06:22.509 --> 00:06:26.370 He does it for political reasons, symbolic reasons. And when 139 00:06:26.389 --> 00:06:30.329 he's not getting along with a country's leader, this is 140 00:06:30.470 --> 00:06:34.810 usually what President Trump likes to do. So we're watching again. 141 00:06:35.230 --> 00:06:38.930 We've got Karen Travers at the White House now. Karen, 142 00:06:39.829 --> 00:06:41.889 we're not surprised. It's not the first time, you know, 143 00:06:41.930 --> 00:06:46.269 the president has done something like this. He's just clearly 144 00:06:46.310 --> 00:06:49.100 not happy with Canada right now, and he's making that 145 00:06:49.339 --> 00:06:49.800 pretty clear. 146 00:06:50.550 --> 00:06:52.470 He said that the tariffs that he had announced that 147 00:06:52.509 --> 00:06:56.439 wouldn't go into effect until January 1st on Canadian autos 148 00:06:56.500 --> 00:06:59.040 and auto parts, he insisted, it's something he still would 149 00:06:59.079 --> 00:06:59.860 move forward with. 150 00:06:59.920 --> 00:07:01.060 He said that we. 151 00:07:01.000 --> 00:07:03.459 Don't want them to make cars for America. He said 152 00:07:03.500 --> 00:07:07.079 Canada treats us very badly. The Canadian tariffs, of course, 153 00:07:07.120 --> 00:07:10.610 they announced in retaliation. to the ones the president put 154 00:07:10.670 --> 00:07:13.410 in place over the weekend. They don't go into effect 155 00:07:13.449 --> 00:07:16.410 until September 8th. So, of course, there is a bit 156 00:07:16.470 --> 00:07:19.889 of time, potentially, to see if there was a potential 157 00:07:20.149 --> 00:07:22.790 for some conversations to restart. We had heard from the 158 00:07:22.829 --> 00:07:26.129 vice president the other day that there were ongoing negotiations, 159 00:07:26.430 --> 00:07:29.329 despite other officials here at the White House indicating that 160 00:07:29.410 --> 00:07:30.149 the time for. 161 00:07:30.069 --> 00:07:31.310 Talking was over. 162 00:07:31.689 --> 00:07:35.129 But the president didn't say anything there that would indicate 163 00:07:35.209 --> 00:07:37.569 he is in any mood to lift the tariffs. that 164 00:07:37.610 --> 00:07:40.339 were put in place last weekend. And Kira, in fact, 165 00:07:40.420 --> 00:07:42.660 what he was indicating is that there would be more 166 00:07:42.759 --> 00:07:45.319 to come, as he had threatened earlier this week. 167 00:07:46.459 --> 00:07:46.779 All right. 168 00:07:46.939 --> 00:07:50.680 Well, this is clearly not the first step that he 169 00:07:50.860 --> 00:07:55.439 is making toward Canada. There are still a number of 170 00:07:55.500 --> 00:07:58.819 things to work out when it comes to the tariffs 171 00:07:59.379 --> 00:08:02.899 and our relationship with one of our longtime allies. 172 00:08:02.980 --> 00:08:04.160 And now apparently there's. 173 00:08:03.980 --> 00:08:07.300 Going to be discussions at the EU, according to Prime 174 00:08:07.339 --> 00:08:11.459 Minister Mark Carney. So this is not going away. This 175 00:08:11.519 --> 00:08:13.060 is not settled by any means. 176 00:08:13.079 --> 00:08:13.420 No. 177 00:08:14.019 --> 00:08:14.660 Not at all. 178 00:08:14.860 --> 00:08:17.930 And in fact, only seems likely to escalate. 179 00:08:17.529 --> 00:08:18.310 At this point. 180 00:08:18.470 --> 00:08:21.930 And, you know, like I said, the Canadian tariffs don't 181 00:08:21.970 --> 00:08:25.100 go into effect just yet. Whether that was the Canadians 182 00:08:25.160 --> 00:08:29.930 trying to hold out potential for some renegotiations, it's not clear. 183 00:08:30.350 --> 00:08:33.529 But there is still some time for a potential off-ramp. 184 00:08:33.590 --> 00:08:35.750 But I think when you heard from the president there, Kira, 185 00:08:36.169 --> 00:08:38.750 right from the start, when he had his opening remarks, 186 00:08:38.809 --> 00:08:41.970 the questions reporters were asking him, his very hard line 187 00:08:42.009 --> 00:08:44.750 there on our neighbors to the north, he certainly doesn't 188 00:08:44.769 --> 00:08:48.389 sound like somebody who is interested at this point in continuing, 189 00:08:48.450 --> 00:08:50.149 restarting those negotiations. 190 00:08:51.110 --> 00:08:54.289 He's Donald Trump's favorite radio announcer, right, being inducted into 191 00:08:54.309 --> 00:08:56.649 the Radio Hall of Fame. You've got a good one 192 00:08:56.669 --> 00:08:58.509 there in the morning with my cousin Sid. We're going 193 00:08:58.529 --> 00:09:00.309 to be working in Vegas. We're going to be working 194 00:09:00.330 --> 00:09:02.250 in Vegas, and we're going to have everybody from the 195 00:09:02.289 --> 00:09:04.549 vice president is going to be there. The Speaker of 196 00:09:04.570 --> 00:09:05.909 the House is going to be. We're going to do 197 00:09:05.970 --> 00:09:08.240 an interview with him. I think we'll do that remote. 198 00:09:08.269 --> 00:09:12.580 We'll get, I believe, Bibi Netanyahu. We'll get Ambassador Huckabee 199 00:09:13.059 --> 00:09:15.779 by video. We'll have a number of fights. It's going 200 00:09:15.820 --> 00:09:17.279 to be a day and a half event. It's going 201 00:09:17.299 --> 00:09:19.659 to be rather compressed this year. But Sid's going to 202 00:09:19.679 --> 00:09:22.100 be part of the show. And listen, he's been a 203 00:09:22.139 --> 00:09:23.879 champion for the Jewish people. Big time. 204 00:09:23.899 --> 00:09:25.299 It's really, I love it. 205 00:09:25.299 --> 00:09:25.899 I'm proud of him. 206 00:09:25.909 --> 00:09:26.559 Monday, it reads 100. 207 00:09:26.549 --> 00:09:27.929 Lows anywhere between 75 and 84 degrees. 208 00:09:27.970 --> 00:09:28.750 Chance of rain, 0%. 209 00:09:28.750 --> 00:09:31.629 Hot in the city. 104, excuse me, 106 today. 104 today. 210 00:09:48.139 --> 00:09:48.700 101-100. 211 00:09:48.720 --> 00:09:55.399 Do you have any idea? 93 right now, 93. Early 212 00:09:55.419 --> 00:09:57.830 in the morning. It's about 3.15 a.m. Any idea, Noel? 213 00:10:00.110 --> 00:10:02.980 what those numbers are referring to? 214 00:10:03.200 --> 00:10:05.379 I would assume those are the temps in Las Vegas. 215 00:10:05.409 --> 00:10:08.379 Very good, Norm Leighton of Light. How'd you know that? 216 00:10:08.960 --> 00:10:09.879 It was a wild guess. 217 00:10:10.360 --> 00:10:11.519 Why would I even be interested in that? 218 00:10:11.779 --> 00:10:12.799 I have no idea. 219 00:10:12.820 --> 00:10:14.120 Well, I'm going there today, doofus. 220 00:10:14.139 --> 00:10:15.100 Oh, that's what it is, yeah. 221 00:10:15.960 --> 00:10:18.200 I mean, you heard my first cousin Norm Coleman there. 222 00:10:18.220 --> 00:10:21.600 He's Very proud of me and excited. It's a big one. 223 00:10:21.720 --> 00:10:23.750 Norm was on this show a couple days ago. His 224 00:10:23.830 --> 00:10:29.070 partner at the RJC, Matt Brooks, was on yesterday. It's official. J.D. 225 00:10:29.129 --> 00:10:32.690 Vance will be there. I will get some alone time 226 00:10:32.710 --> 00:10:35.629 with the Vice President of the United States on Monday. 227 00:10:36.389 --> 00:10:39.159 But Mike Johnson will be there, too. The Speaker of 228 00:10:39.200 --> 00:10:45.779 the House. Whole bunch of big-time congressmen. Senators. Hopefully senators-to-be 229 00:10:45.840 --> 00:10:50.100 like Mike Rogers. He's going to run against Abdul El-Sayed 230 00:10:50.659 --> 00:10:53.580 in Michigan. Randy Fine's going to be there. He may 231 00:10:53.620 --> 00:10:57.100 join us today. And then you've got some entertainers, too, 232 00:10:57.620 --> 00:11:02.070 some journalists, if you will. Scott Jennings is a great journalist. 233 00:11:02.710 --> 00:11:06.409 He's on CNN all the time, and he's going to 234 00:11:06.450 --> 00:11:09.429 be there. And he seems to be, I don't really 235 00:11:09.509 --> 00:11:14.309 know who the rest of the possibilities even are, but 236 00:11:14.350 --> 00:11:17.090 he seems to be, at least as of this morning, Noam, 237 00:11:17.990 --> 00:11:23.149 the leader in the clubhouse, to replace Caroline Leavitt as 238 00:11:23.289 --> 00:11:27.590 the next White House press secretary. Today, if you are 239 00:11:27.649 --> 00:11:32.629 keeping score, happens to be Caroline Leavitt's last day. Isn't 240 00:11:32.649 --> 00:11:33.169 that right now? 241 00:11:33.629 --> 00:11:34.370 Yeah, that is it. 242 00:11:34.470 --> 00:11:34.870 She's done. 243 00:11:35.110 --> 00:11:35.350 Yeah. 244 00:11:35.669 --> 00:11:40.950 So Scott Jennings, who again has become incredibly popular as 245 00:11:41.029 --> 00:11:44.370 our lone voice on CNN, he's always fighting for us, 246 00:11:44.470 --> 00:11:48.470 Republicans and Trump. You may remember When I had Andrew 247 00:11:48.519 --> 00:11:52.870 Cuomo on this show, and I joked that if there 248 00:11:52.909 --> 00:11:57.610 was a 9-11 and Mamdani was sitting there, he wouldn't 249 00:11:57.629 --> 00:12:00.809 be horrified. He'd be cheering. Obviously, I was joking, okay? 250 00:12:00.830 --> 00:12:02.789 But maybe I wasn't. I don't know. I don't care 251 00:12:02.809 --> 00:12:06.159 at this point. I really don't. And Cuomo was all, 252 00:12:06.220 --> 00:12:08.960 you know, he got all flustered. And then the media, 253 00:12:09.399 --> 00:12:14.559 those bastards, they went out and they actually credited what 254 00:12:14.639 --> 00:12:17.769 I said to Cuomo. in an effort to destroy the 255 00:12:18.450 --> 00:12:21.690 former governor in his attempt to become mayor. This was 256 00:12:22.269 --> 00:12:27.169 literally a couple of weeks before the election. Cuomo was gaining, 257 00:12:27.190 --> 00:12:29.990 although he never really got all that close. He was 258 00:12:30.009 --> 00:12:32.600 a good nine points behind and a lot of votes, 259 00:12:32.659 --> 00:12:37.000 but certainly closer than Curtis. But he never really had 260 00:12:37.039 --> 00:12:39.620 a chance. But either way, this was a couple of 261 00:12:39.659 --> 00:12:43.759 weeks before, and they credited Cuomo with those comments, which 262 00:12:43.840 --> 00:12:49.080 wasn't fair. Andrew Cuomo would say, hey, folks, I said that, 263 00:12:49.500 --> 00:12:53.159 not Andrew. Oh, then when they realized that he didn't 264 00:12:53.220 --> 00:12:57.940 say it, they changed the narrative to, well, he didn't 265 00:12:57.960 --> 00:12:59.940 push back enough. Remember that, Noam? 266 00:13:00.759 --> 00:13:01.980 I remember that very clearly. 267 00:13:02.000 --> 00:13:03.519 They didn't know what to do. They just wanted to 268 00:13:03.600 --> 00:13:06.110 find a way to pin that on Andrew Cuomo when 269 00:13:06.159 --> 00:13:09.769 I was the one who said it. So Jennings goes 270 00:13:09.870 --> 00:13:12.110 on CNN. I don't know if it was Abby Phillips 271 00:13:12.210 --> 00:13:14.429 or I don't know who those people are. I got 272 00:13:14.450 --> 00:13:15.750 to be honest. I have no idea who they are. 273 00:13:16.230 --> 00:13:18.330 But they brought it up. Like, what do you think 274 00:13:18.370 --> 00:13:21.570 about this guy on this radio station in New York 275 00:13:22.210 --> 00:13:26.769 claiming that the mayor would be cheering during 9-11 rather 276 00:13:26.809 --> 00:13:32.080 than horrified? And Scott Jennings, who again will join me 277 00:13:32.240 --> 00:13:35.159 in about an hour, went out of his way to 278 00:13:35.200 --> 00:13:37.580 defend me. Now, at that point, I had met Scott Jennings, 279 00:13:37.600 --> 00:13:39.759 didn't know him. Now I've met him on a couple 280 00:13:39.779 --> 00:13:42.659 of occasions. We've actually done a couple of dinners together. 281 00:13:43.759 --> 00:13:46.580 We spoke together in Las Vegas last year at this 282 00:13:46.639 --> 00:13:49.500 same exact event. And we spent a bunch of time 283 00:13:49.539 --> 00:13:52.450 together in the green room because he actually came on 284 00:13:52.509 --> 00:13:55.570 stage right before me. So we talked for a good 285 00:13:55.570 --> 00:13:59.450 20 minutes. Siggy Flicker was back there, Stella Escobedo, all 286 00:13:59.470 --> 00:14:02.850 of us. So needless to say, I now have a 287 00:14:02.950 --> 00:14:05.830 friendship with Scott Jennings, and I'll see him again this 288 00:14:05.870 --> 00:14:08.629 weekend in Vegas. And again, he'll be on this program 289 00:14:08.649 --> 00:14:11.379 this morning. He's a big deal. Trump loves him. And 290 00:14:11.440 --> 00:14:15.240 here was Jennings on that CNN broadcast, I guess about 291 00:14:15.279 --> 00:14:20.870 a year ago. This is Lewis, cut number five, defending me. 292 00:14:22.470 --> 00:14:25.230 If you had a 9-11 scale event, would you want 293 00:14:25.289 --> 00:14:27.490 somebody who can't prove that they can do. 294 00:14:27.470 --> 00:14:28.230 Anything in the chair? 295 00:14:28.389 --> 00:14:28.750 Legit. 296 00:14:28.769 --> 00:14:30.659 Is it fair to say that he would cheer on 9-11? 297 00:14:33.049 --> 00:14:36.389 He's taking pictures with unindicted co-conspirators from the World Trade Center, Bonnie. 298 00:14:36.409 --> 00:14:38.370 But, I mean, are you willing to say that? You 299 00:14:38.429 --> 00:14:40.590 really think that he would cheer on 9-11? 300 00:14:40.690 --> 00:14:44.070 He's taking pictures with unindicted co-conspirators from the. 301 00:14:44.090 --> 00:14:45.730 World Trade Center. 302 00:14:45.830 --> 00:14:47.409 I mean, I'm just saying. 303 00:14:47.470 --> 00:14:48.029 It wasn't FOMO. 304 00:14:48.210 --> 00:14:48.769 It was the radio. 305 00:14:48.789 --> 00:14:51.149 But I'm asking Scott because Scott seems to think that's 306 00:14:51.169 --> 00:14:56.299 like a totally above-board line of attack. Do you think 307 00:14:56.340 --> 00:14:57.019 that that's true? 308 00:14:58.100 --> 00:15:00.559 I can only tell you what I see on my phone. 309 00:15:00.919 --> 00:15:03.440 I see a picture of Mom Donnie. with a guy 310 00:15:03.879 --> 00:15:06.480 who was an unindicted co-conspirator from a terrorist attack in 311 00:15:06.519 --> 00:15:07.039 New York City. 312 00:15:07.360 --> 00:15:08.379 Do you think that was a good. 313 00:15:08.279 --> 00:15:09.279 Picture to take? 314 00:15:09.490 --> 00:15:13.129 He is an unindicted co-conspirator in that case, but it's 315 00:15:13.169 --> 00:15:17.509 just worth noting for context, in 2009, Bloomberg met with 316 00:15:17.549 --> 00:15:22.370 that same imam. The last mayor who just endorsed Eric 317 00:15:22.529 --> 00:15:29.460 Adams awarded him, apparently, an award fairly recently. So, I mean, 318 00:15:30.519 --> 00:15:34.029 your criticism is taken, but I also think that's a 319 00:15:34.110 --> 00:15:37.049 different point from saying somebody would cheer on a terror 320 00:15:37.070 --> 00:15:38.169 attack that killed thousands of people. 321 00:15:38.190 --> 00:15:40.269 But is this the time to be taking pictures with 322 00:15:40.309 --> 00:15:44.870 this controversial imam? I mean, when people have such deep questions, 323 00:15:45.269 --> 00:15:47.490 my Jewish family is petrified. 324 00:15:48.700 --> 00:15:52.700 Geraldo Rivera actually stepping up. How about that, Noam? Geraldo 325 00:15:52.720 --> 00:15:56.559 Rivera actually providing some defense for me as well. Scott 326 00:15:56.600 --> 00:15:59.399 Jennings and Geraldo. So again, Scott will be joining us. 327 00:15:59.919 --> 00:16:02.559 later on today. And talking about 9-11, we did find 328 00:16:02.639 --> 00:16:06.940 out yesterday, we know that Mamdani's coming, despite our best attempts, 329 00:16:07.720 --> 00:16:16.950 despite Giovanni Galante now acquiring more than 90,000 signatures on 330 00:16:16.970 --> 00:16:20.850 this petition to keep the mayor away from that sacred 331 00:16:20.929 --> 00:16:25.570 ground on 9-11. He's coming. He doesn't care. He's coming. 332 00:16:26.029 --> 00:16:30.019 Turns out that President Trump is not Actually, J.D. Vance 333 00:16:30.179 --> 00:16:32.730 will be in New York. President Trump will be at 334 00:16:32.759 --> 00:16:38.110 the Pentagon site in Washington, D.C. So Mamdani's going to come. 335 00:16:38.370 --> 00:16:41.990 It doesn't matter how the families feel. So in the 336 00:16:42.090 --> 00:16:45.279 story that ABC News did last night, Channel 7 here 337 00:16:45.299 --> 00:16:49.720 locally in New York, the lady's name is... Sade Baranwad, 338 00:16:49.759 --> 00:16:50.159 is that. 339 00:16:50.090 --> 00:16:50.490 Right, Noam? 340 00:16:51.090 --> 00:16:51.919 Something like that, yeah. 341 00:16:52.019 --> 00:16:55.669 So listen to the word that she uses, the exact 342 00:16:55.730 --> 00:17:01.169 word that she uses to describe how many families don't 343 00:17:01.230 --> 00:17:05.910 want Mamdani down at that site. Listen carefully. Lewis, this 344 00:17:05.990 --> 00:17:10.789 is cut number two. Sade Baranwad, I guess, Channel 7, ABC. 345 00:17:10.869 --> 00:17:13.569 Listen to the exact word she uses. 346 00:17:13.990 --> 00:17:17.750 President Trump is not expected to attend this year's 9-11 347 00:17:17.809 --> 00:17:22.079 ceremonies at the September 11th Memorial in Lower Manhattan. Instead, 348 00:17:22.140 --> 00:17:25.960 he's expected to commemorate the 25th anniversary at the Pentagon 349 00:17:26.259 --> 00:17:30.259 where he'll deliver remarks. Vice President J.D. Vance will represent 350 00:17:30.299 --> 00:17:34.250 the Trump administration in Lower Manhattan. Mayor Mamdani will also 351 00:17:34.309 --> 00:17:38.309 attend despite the wishes of select 9-11 family members who 352 00:17:38.329 --> 00:17:39.470 don't want him there. 353 00:17:39.509 --> 00:17:40.109 You hear that? 354 00:17:40.369 --> 00:17:40.769 Select. 355 00:17:40.809 --> 00:17:43.789 Now that was done on purpose. The truth is the 356 00:17:44.049 --> 00:17:50.799 overwhelming majority of 9-11 families don't want him there. Not select. 357 00:17:51.599 --> 00:17:56.279 Not a few. Not a couple. The majority of the 358 00:17:56.299 --> 00:18:00.460 9-11 families don't want the mayor anywhere near there. But 359 00:18:00.500 --> 00:18:04.529 what does she do? She says select. So what do 360 00:18:04.609 --> 00:18:06.769 I do? You know me, Noam. What do I do next? 361 00:18:06.930 --> 00:18:09.410 You went to social media and you beat her up. 362 00:18:09.470 --> 00:18:15.200 I did. I tweeted... One hour ago, at exactly 5.23 a.m. 363 00:18:15.259 --> 00:18:20.240 this morning, hey, at Sade ABC, you seem like a 364 00:18:20.299 --> 00:18:24.640 nice lady, but what was that bullshizzle last night about 365 00:18:24.680 --> 00:18:29.069 a select number of families who don't want our America-hating 366 00:18:29.190 --> 00:18:34.130 mayor at ground zero on 9-11? No, Sade, the majority 367 00:18:34.230 --> 00:18:38.930 don't want him there, not a select number. Your network 368 00:18:38.950 --> 00:18:43.420 should be embarrassed. Keep running cover for this creep. 369 00:18:43.960 --> 00:18:45.900 Select sounds like five families. 370 00:18:45.920 --> 00:18:49.299 Yeah, like five. Yeah. Like five. A couple of families 371 00:18:49.339 --> 00:18:51.039 don't want him there, but no big deal. 372 00:18:51.059 --> 00:18:51.940 But everybody else does. 373 00:18:52.720 --> 00:18:52.920 Yeah. 374 00:18:53.150 --> 00:18:54.750 That's what it sounds like when you say select. 375 00:18:54.809 --> 00:18:57.470 So when I got upset when I heard that, I 376 00:18:57.509 --> 00:18:58.890 wasn't wrong, right? No. 377 00:18:59.150 --> 00:19:02.750 Select, I think, seems like a small number of people. 378 00:19:02.829 --> 00:19:03.369 Right. 379 00:19:03.430 --> 00:19:06.579 Only a couple. No big deal. Take it easy. So 380 00:19:06.640 --> 00:19:09.700 here's the next story that's attached this morning to 9-11 381 00:19:09.980 --> 00:19:12.490 that'll make you even more angry. I know you know 382 00:19:12.529 --> 00:19:19.730 this one, Noam. A Canadian broadcaster says you cannot use 383 00:19:20.329 --> 00:19:26.309 these two words, terrorist attacks, to describe 9-11. It is 384 00:19:26.410 --> 00:19:32.359 too politically and emotionally loaded to use without attribution in 385 00:19:32.410 --> 00:19:38.259 its reporting. Here it is. The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation on 386 00:19:38.420 --> 00:19:43.609 Thursday defended an internal memo directing its reporters and editors 387 00:19:43.950 --> 00:19:47.849 to refrain from describing the September 11, 2001 attacks as, quote, 388 00:19:50.180 --> 00:19:56.450 terrorist attacks, telling Fox News Digital the guidance reflected its 389 00:19:56.569 --> 00:20:04.019 longstanding practice of attributing terms it considers politically and emotionally loaded. Quote, 390 00:20:04.460 --> 00:20:08.920 it is the practice of the CBC to exercise extreme 391 00:20:09.059 --> 00:20:14.529 caution before using the words terrorist and terrorism. This from 392 00:20:14.569 --> 00:20:19.150 the CBC public affairs director, Carrie Kelly. She says, quote, 393 00:20:19.190 --> 00:20:23.369 the memo was a reminder of the longstanding practice that 394 00:20:23.430 --> 00:20:27.789 favors the use of these items with attribution in our reporting. 395 00:20:28.630 --> 00:20:31.450 Goes on to say, do not refer to to the 396 00:20:31.509 --> 00:20:35.849 September 11th attacks as terrorist attacks. 397 00:20:36.029 --> 00:20:38.430 Oh my God, you can't make this stuff up. 398 00:20:38.430 --> 00:20:41.809 She goes, the memo instead, get ready for this, the 399 00:20:41.890 --> 00:20:49.700 memo instead described the events of September 11th as hijackings 400 00:20:50.440 --> 00:20:56.319 that led to passenger jet crashes in Washington, D.C., Pennsylvania, 401 00:20:56.440 --> 00:21:00.890 and Manhattan. It did say the World Trade Center was destroyed. 402 00:21:00.910 --> 00:21:03.809 Here's where my good friend, the great New York City 403 00:21:03.849 --> 00:21:08.559 councilwoman out of Queens, Vicky Palladino, jumps in. She says, quote, 404 00:21:08.880 --> 00:21:13.859 the CBC guidance is frankly outrageous and insulting, but it 405 00:21:13.940 --> 00:21:17.160 stands as a stark warning for what happens when you 406 00:21:17.180 --> 00:21:20.630 allow institutions of public trust to be taken over by 407 00:21:20.730 --> 00:21:25.069 leftists and foreign interests. This is not merely a callous 408 00:21:25.210 --> 00:21:28.569 disregard for the memory of those who perished on 9-11. 409 00:21:28.970 --> 00:21:32.490 It is a deliberate effort to undermine the fundamental truth 410 00:21:32.839 --> 00:21:36.500 of what happened that day in direct service to Islamism, 411 00:21:37.099 --> 00:21:42.160 as Europe, Canada, and the United States become increasingly overwhelmed 412 00:21:42.500 --> 00:21:46.759 by Islamist politics. We must not tolerate it any longer. 413 00:21:47.089 --> 00:21:51.329 We must dedicate ourselves to fighting this poison with every 414 00:21:51.410 --> 00:21:55.789 tool we have available before it's too late. That's Vicky Palladino. 415 00:21:55.970 --> 00:21:58.859 But do you believe that? Very well said by Vicky. 416 00:21:59.130 --> 00:22:03.599 But do you believe that? That the Canadian Broadcasting Company 417 00:22:03.960 --> 00:22:08.619 will not allow its journalists to refer to 9-11 as 418 00:22:08.700 --> 00:22:11.869 a terrorist attack? Just a couple of planes got hijacked, 419 00:22:12.119 --> 00:22:16.319 hit a couple of buildings, no big deal. Noam, I 420 00:22:16.319 --> 00:22:17.720 know you covered that this morning, right? 421 00:22:17.880 --> 00:22:20.640 Yeah, you know, I'm trying to figure out what they're 422 00:22:20.680 --> 00:22:22.640 trying to do. Are they just trying to change the 423 00:22:22.660 --> 00:22:25.920 whole narrative of the 9-11 attacks by addressing it in 424 00:22:25.960 --> 00:22:28.309 a different way and like a bid to change the story? 425 00:22:28.329 --> 00:22:30.069 Like, I don't get what's behind this. 426 00:22:30.670 --> 00:22:33.910 Well, what's behind it is, again, like Vicky talked about this, 427 00:22:34.890 --> 00:22:39.730 Islamist influence here in America. It's already all over Europe. 428 00:22:39.809 --> 00:22:43.880 Europe is basically done and it's getting bigger and bigger. 429 00:22:44.299 --> 00:22:48.839 here in America. So when people yell and scream, they're 430 00:22:48.900 --> 00:22:56.099 not just crazy, paranoid Americans. They're not just Islamophobes, which 431 00:22:56.160 --> 00:22:59.130 I've been described as a thousand times in about a 432 00:22:59.190 --> 00:23:04.230 hundred different languages. They're not just that. They've got legitimate concerns. 433 00:23:05.009 --> 00:23:09.549 And when they start to change what happened in our country, 434 00:23:10.990 --> 00:23:14.880 and 3,000 people were murdered, murdered, In the most horrific 435 00:23:14.920 --> 00:23:21.680 of fashion, many decided to jump out of 100-story windows 436 00:23:22.460 --> 00:23:25.910 rather than be burned alive by jet fuel. And when 437 00:23:25.930 --> 00:23:31.029 they change all that to protect Islamism, Muslims, whatever you 438 00:23:31.069 --> 00:23:33.670 want to call it, I don't care, then you know 439 00:23:34.130 --> 00:23:37.869 how serious this is. Then you know why I freaked 440 00:23:38.029 --> 00:23:42.160 out from day one and have never taken my medal 441 00:23:42.400 --> 00:23:47.269 off the pedal. about Mamdani. Because it seems like, although 442 00:23:47.289 --> 00:23:50.970 they are very, very small in numbers, right? They don't 443 00:23:50.990 --> 00:23:54.170 represent the whole Democrat Party just yet. They certainly don't 444 00:23:54.490 --> 00:23:58.440 represent America just yet. They're still kind of small in numbers, 445 00:23:58.960 --> 00:24:02.660 but it seems like the numbers don't matter. Their influence... 446 00:24:02.769 --> 00:24:07.630 is much larger than their numbers. And this disgusting story 447 00:24:08.079 --> 00:24:09.880 is a perfect example of that. 448 00:24:09.960 --> 00:24:12.000 Yeah, I would go to the CBC and say, hey, 449 00:24:12.460 --> 00:24:15.319 so what is a terror attack? If 9-11 is not 450 00:24:15.359 --> 00:24:17.220 a terror attack, then what is? 451 00:24:17.259 --> 00:24:18.039 That's a good question. 452 00:24:18.059 --> 00:24:18.440 You're right. 453 00:24:18.640 --> 00:24:20.859 I'm surprised they didn't ask this lady, Kelly, that they 454 00:24:20.880 --> 00:24:23.420 should have, right? If this isn't a. 455 00:24:23.440 --> 00:24:29.019 Terrorist attack, what exactly is? I mean, it's so outrageous 456 00:24:29.079 --> 00:24:31.569 on so many levels, but it's a news organization. 457 00:24:32.440 --> 00:24:35.650 Well, it's a lousy news organization. We know that. Yeah, 458 00:24:35.769 --> 00:24:40.049 all they do is they're like MSNOW and CNN. All 459 00:24:40.089 --> 00:24:42.289 they do is talk bad about Trump in America. That's 460 00:24:42.329 --> 00:24:45.319 all they do. That's all they do. The CBC. 461 00:24:45.470 --> 00:24:46.819 What would they call Pearl Harbor? 462 00:24:47.240 --> 00:24:47.500 I mean. 463 00:24:47.519 --> 00:24:50.720 A series of unfortunate events. 464 00:24:50.960 --> 00:24:51.220 Right. 465 00:24:51.339 --> 00:24:52.200 A couple of planes. 466 00:24:52.279 --> 00:24:56.019 Planes found themselves over an area they shouldn't have been. 467 00:24:56.039 --> 00:24:58.970 A couple of ships sunk. They just happened to sink. 468 00:24:59.849 --> 00:25:03.599 It wasn't like they were sunk by enemy fire. They sunk. 469 00:25:03.910 --> 00:25:07.539 You know what's unfortunate is they'll change their ways, and 470 00:25:07.759 --> 00:25:10.380 I hope this never happens, but there'll be some terror 471 00:25:10.420 --> 00:25:12.519 attack in Canada, and then they'll see what it's like, 472 00:25:13.079 --> 00:25:14.599 and they'll change their ways. 473 00:25:14.680 --> 00:25:16.839 They'll realize, oh, no, wait, this is a terror attack. 474 00:25:18.000 --> 00:25:20.750 I mean, they just, right now there is so much 475 00:25:21.609 --> 00:25:24.369 back and forth between us and them with, like, Ontario, 476 00:25:24.410 --> 00:25:28.500 Lake America, all these tariffs. Mark Carney doesn't seem intimidated 477 00:25:28.559 --> 00:25:32.920 by President Trump and nobody intimidates President Trump. So it's 478 00:25:32.960 --> 00:25:35.819 gotten so nasty back and forth. But to take it 479 00:25:35.859 --> 00:25:39.640 to this level, and I'm not sure that has anything 480 00:25:39.680 --> 00:25:41.630 to do with what's going on right now between the 481 00:25:41.650 --> 00:25:44.710 United States and Canada, but to take it to this 482 00:25:44.789 --> 00:25:48.390 level seems like there may be some connection. I don't know. 483 00:25:48.430 --> 00:25:49.049 What do you think, Noam? 484 00:25:49.250 --> 00:25:49.750 I don't think so. 485 00:25:49.769 --> 00:25:50.069 I think no. 486 00:25:50.609 --> 00:25:52.430 When it comes to the tariffs, both sides will back 487 00:25:52.470 --> 00:25:54.410 down and they'll come up with some sort of resolution. 488 00:25:54.630 --> 00:25:54.869 Right. 489 00:25:55.049 --> 00:25:59.400 But this 9-11 stuff is outrageous. Just outrageous. So let 490 00:25:59.420 --> 00:26:01.500 me play for you one more time. This is for 491 00:26:01.559 --> 00:26:06.980 Sade Baranwad, locally on Channel 7 ABC. I don't think 492 00:26:07.420 --> 00:26:12.589 Jeanette Pick, whose father died in those buildings that day 493 00:26:12.670 --> 00:26:15.869 he was murdered, I don't think she speaks for a 494 00:26:16.009 --> 00:26:20.220 select group. few families. I think she speaks for the 495 00:26:20.259 --> 00:26:25.099 majority of the families of the 9-11 victims murdered nearly 496 00:26:25.099 --> 00:26:28.640 25 years ago. She said this on this show about 497 00:26:28.660 --> 00:26:33.660 a week ago, Lewis. Jeanette Pick, cut number three. Jeanette Pick? 498 00:26:33.839 --> 00:26:35.329 Dude, we don't want you there. 499 00:26:36.200 --> 00:26:40.509 When I say we, I mean myself and the almost 90,000 500 00:26:40.509 --> 00:26:43.869 people who have signed the Change.org petition. I don't know 501 00:26:43.950 --> 00:26:46.769 how else we can say this to you. We've, you know, 502 00:26:46.809 --> 00:26:50.910 we've gone to the media. We've, you know, had a 503 00:26:50.950 --> 00:26:54.490 petition started. Literally, Scott Lobato put it in skywriting. 504 00:26:54.579 --> 00:26:55.829 I don't know how much clearer. 505 00:26:55.559 --> 00:26:58.079 We can tell you. We don't want you there. Like, dude, 506 00:26:58.200 --> 00:26:59.980 I don't, like, what don't you get? 507 00:27:00.000 --> 00:27:04.779 Yeah, pretty simple, right? Dude, we don't want you there. 508 00:27:04.799 --> 00:27:07.900 I think it's great. Dude, we don't want you there. 509 00:27:08.500 --> 00:27:11.519 But according to Channel 7 here in New York, A 510 00:27:11.579 --> 00:27:12.200 select few. 511 00:27:12.259 --> 00:27:12.779 Select. 512 00:27:12.819 --> 00:27:17.049 Yeah, just a couple of select. So the open started 513 00:27:17.109 --> 00:27:20.750 with something that made me laugh hard this morning when 514 00:27:20.809 --> 00:27:24.809 I heard it. This guy's name is Adam Friedland. Have 515 00:27:24.829 --> 00:27:27.029 you heard of him? I have not. Me either. But 516 00:27:27.069 --> 00:27:29.190 he looks like just a complete geek. 517 00:27:29.589 --> 00:27:29.970 I don't know. 518 00:27:30.369 --> 00:27:32.089 I don't even know how you even find these people. 519 00:27:32.170 --> 00:27:36.339 I don't know. But this guy Friedland found Curtis Sliwa, 520 00:27:37.160 --> 00:27:39.980 and they sat down for a conversation. And Curtis is Italian, 521 00:27:40.180 --> 00:27:45.130 you know. And Mamdani has been very nasty to the Italians. 522 00:27:45.869 --> 00:27:49.630 Flipped the Christopher Columbus statue, the middle finger. Left off 523 00:27:49.690 --> 00:27:55.230 not one but two little Italy's off his enclave map immigration, 524 00:27:55.450 --> 00:27:59.000 both downtown Manhattan and Arthur Avenue in the Bronx. We 525 00:27:59.019 --> 00:28:02.619 know the story. All right, Mamdani doesn't like anybody, and 526 00:28:02.660 --> 00:28:06.680 he has been particularly not nice outside the Jews to 527 00:28:06.720 --> 00:28:10.910 the Italians. Okay? So Curtis... is on this show with 528 00:28:10.950 --> 00:28:16.119 this guy named Adam Friedland, and Friedland brings up the 529 00:28:16.160 --> 00:28:18.599 fact that Italians are not being treated very nicely, and 530 00:28:18.619 --> 00:28:20.960 he says, well, doesn't that piss you off? And then 531 00:28:21.660 --> 00:28:26.730 they go into this little history lesson about Christopher Columbus. 532 00:28:27.490 --> 00:28:30.430 I know it was a long time ago. 1492 was 533 00:28:30.490 --> 00:28:35.609 a long time ago, right? Holman Lewis, long time ago. 1492. 534 00:28:35.869 --> 00:28:39.990 But they go into this history lesson, and Curtis... who's 535 00:28:40.029 --> 00:28:43.569 a very smart guy, okay? I say things about Curtis 536 00:28:44.049 --> 00:28:47.910 not great because it's true, and I say things about 537 00:28:47.970 --> 00:28:51.140 Curtis that are nice because those are true, too. He's 538 00:28:51.160 --> 00:28:54.480 a very smart guy. He knows his history. In fact, 539 00:28:54.579 --> 00:28:57.539 I would argue that nobody knows more about the history 540 00:28:57.579 --> 00:29:00.700 of New York than Curtis. So I know all you 541 00:29:00.720 --> 00:29:02.740 listeners out there that love to go back to Curtis 542 00:29:02.789 --> 00:29:04.710 and tell him what Sid said. You can tell him 543 00:29:04.769 --> 00:29:09.630 I said that. Okay, smart guy, knows history. Maybe nobody 544 00:29:10.049 --> 00:29:12.990 knows more about the history of New York than Curtis. 545 00:29:13.750 --> 00:29:18.849 But clearly, he's lost on Columbus. What do you mean 546 00:29:18.869 --> 00:29:21.839 there were four ships? What do you mean the Santa 547 00:29:21.970 --> 00:29:25.079 and Maria were two different vessels? Have you ever heard 548 00:29:25.119 --> 00:29:26.059 that before, Noam, ever? 549 00:29:26.519 --> 00:29:26.779 I didn't. 550 00:29:26.859 --> 00:29:28.660 I mean, unless I'm learning something I didn't know. I 551 00:29:28.740 --> 00:29:29.660 never heard that before. 552 00:29:29.819 --> 00:29:32.660 And Curtis gets angry. He said, you're going to tell 553 00:29:32.700 --> 00:29:37.339 me about my people? Four ships set out. Only three 554 00:29:37.420 --> 00:29:43.299 ships made it. And the Santa and Maria were different ships. Wait, 555 00:29:43.420 --> 00:29:43.880 were they? 556 00:29:43.920 --> 00:29:45.400 I mean, did I have it wrong all these years? 557 00:29:45.720 --> 00:29:50.150 Well, again, because I do think Curtis is a very 558 00:29:50.230 --> 00:29:52.829 smart guy. I thought the same thing. I'm like, oh, 559 00:29:53.390 --> 00:29:55.730 I had it wrong. I was under the impression there 560 00:29:55.750 --> 00:29:59.500 were three boats. Santa Maria was one boat. Okay, I 561 00:29:59.539 --> 00:30:06.950 had it wrong. So I went and looked. Then no. No, 562 00:30:07.369 --> 00:30:08.170 we don't have it wrong. 563 00:30:08.230 --> 00:30:08.690 Just three. 564 00:30:09.069 --> 00:30:14.289 Just three. So again, this is worth replaying. Curtis Sliwa 565 00:30:14.730 --> 00:30:22.299 on the Adam Friedland show, literally rewriting history, rewriting Christopher 566 00:30:22.339 --> 00:30:28.190 Columbus and that courageous voyage and finding America in 1492. 567 00:30:28.190 --> 00:30:31.390 Here is the history according to Curtis. 568 00:30:31.650 --> 00:30:33.650 Does it piss you off when people try to s 569 00:30:33.619 --> 00:30:37.059 * * * on Columbus, like Native Americans and stuff? 570 00:30:38.279 --> 00:30:39.579 Christopher Columbus, right? 571 00:30:39.599 --> 00:30:39.940 Yeah, yeah. 572 00:30:40.299 --> 00:30:43.119 He was a degenerate. He had his problems. 573 00:30:43.359 --> 00:30:43.740 Yeah, yeah. 574 00:30:43.759 --> 00:30:45.339 He had his eccentricities. 575 00:30:45.380 --> 00:30:45.619 Yeah. 576 00:30:46.180 --> 00:30:47.880 He was Jewish. Did you know that? 577 00:30:48.099 --> 00:30:49.480 It's actually fake. 578 00:30:49.720 --> 00:30:50.119 No, no. 579 00:30:50.160 --> 00:30:51.700 They try to say he's Jewish, but he's not. 580 00:30:51.720 --> 00:30:54.000 No, he had a bris. Trust me. He had to 581 00:30:54.019 --> 00:30:56.160 drop his drawers to prove that. He had a brist. 582 00:30:56.180 --> 00:30:56.400 Come on. 583 00:30:56.420 --> 00:30:57.380 Some people just like that style. 584 00:30:57.400 --> 00:30:58.240 You know, back then. 585 00:30:58.259 --> 00:30:59.420 People like a hoodless style. 586 00:30:59.440 --> 00:31:01.339 You know, why do you think he had to escape 587 00:31:01.460 --> 00:31:07.319 Spain in 1492 when Queen Isabella and King Ferdinand launched 588 00:31:07.359 --> 00:31:10.920 the Inquisition on your people and said either convert or die? 589 00:31:10.980 --> 00:31:13.470 And he decided to leave with the Nina, the Pinta, 590 00:31:13.509 --> 00:31:14.750 the Santa, and the Maria. 591 00:31:14.789 --> 00:31:16.809 Well, there's three, actually, the Santa and the Maria. 592 00:31:17.049 --> 00:31:17.750 No, no, you're wrong. 593 00:31:17.849 --> 00:31:18.720 No, no, Santa Maria was the third one. 594 00:31:18.730 --> 00:31:21.369 The Nina, the Pinta, the Santa, and the Maria. 595 00:31:21.450 --> 00:31:23.569 The Nina, the Pinta, and the Santa Maria. 596 00:31:23.630 --> 00:31:26.630 That's right. Four of the ships. Three of them made it. Yeah. 597 00:31:27.170 --> 00:31:27.869 As he went. 598 00:31:28.069 --> 00:31:30.309 Oh, so he called one the Santa Maria after one lot. 599 00:31:30.869 --> 00:31:32.009 You combine the names? 600 00:31:33.509 --> 00:31:33.970 Excuse me? 601 00:31:34.130 --> 00:31:34.390 Nothing. 602 00:31:35.670 --> 00:31:38.430 Are you trying to instruct me on the hero of 603 00:31:38.490 --> 00:31:40.210 my peeps, Christopher Columbus? 604 00:31:40.339 --> 00:31:42.740 I thought you were Jewish. No, he is Jewish. 605 00:31:45.539 --> 00:31:46.180 Is he kidding? 606 00:31:46.660 --> 00:31:47.140 He's kidding. 607 00:31:47.180 --> 00:31:47.799 He's not kidding. 608 00:31:47.859 --> 00:31:48.539 He's got to be kidding. 609 00:31:48.559 --> 00:31:49.440 He's not kidding. 610 00:31:49.960 --> 00:31:52.779 Three of them made it. 611 00:31:53.599 --> 00:31:56.720 Three of them made it. There were four ships. And 612 00:31:56.759 --> 00:32:01.720 the Santa and the Maria were two different ships. Two 613 00:32:01.740 --> 00:32:03.819 different ships. No, no, no. 614 00:32:03.839 --> 00:32:05.980 I'll tell you what. No, no, no, no. 615 00:32:06.000 --> 00:32:07.259 Isn't that unbelievable? 616 00:32:08.509 --> 00:32:09.980 It's hilarious. 617 00:32:11.269 --> 00:32:12.970 You can't make it up. 618 00:32:14.009 --> 00:32:17.150 The Santa and the Maria. 619 00:32:17.430 --> 00:32:19.970 The Santa and the Maria were two different ships, ladies 620 00:32:20.009 --> 00:32:21.609 and gentlemen. All right, what else is going on in 621 00:32:21.630 --> 00:32:23.630 the world today? Nome, New York, around the world. What 622 00:32:23.650 --> 00:32:23.930 do you got? 623 00:32:23.970 --> 00:32:26.609 Well, all eyes continue to be on Nepal after that, 624 00:32:26.829 --> 00:32:28.799 you know, catastrophic flash flooding. 625 00:32:29.190 --> 00:32:31.069 On Wednesday, have you seen any of the videos of this? 626 00:32:31.410 --> 00:32:31.849 I have. 627 00:32:31.869 --> 00:32:32.990 Terrible. 628 00:32:33.150 --> 00:32:35.849 It doesn't look real. It looks like a movie. You're right. 629 00:32:36.029 --> 00:32:39.529 The walls of water are just gigantic. And unfortunately, among 630 00:32:39.650 --> 00:32:41.869 the missing are a lot of Americans. There's a crew 631 00:32:41.910 --> 00:32:45.730 of 10 people from Virginia. There's two local couples, one 632 00:32:45.759 --> 00:32:48.839 from New Jersey, one from New York. They haven't been 633 00:32:48.859 --> 00:32:49.339 able to get in. 634 00:32:49.319 --> 00:32:49.960 Touch with them. 635 00:32:50.200 --> 00:32:54.740 And so now the death toll at 475, more than 1,000 missing. 636 00:32:55.240 --> 00:32:57.160 No doubt that death toll is going to climb higher. 637 00:32:57.589 --> 00:32:59.950 They're hoping against hope as they get crews in there 638 00:32:59.990 --> 00:33:02.420 that they'll find survivors, but so far they have not. 639 00:33:03.359 --> 00:33:05.619 Wow. Yeah. Do we know how many people have actually died? 640 00:33:05.619 --> 00:33:05.680 475. 641 00:33:05.660 --> 00:33:08.900 That's the latest total as of this morning. 642 00:33:08.900 --> 00:33:08.960 475. 643 00:33:08.940 --> 00:33:12.849 That's terrible. That's probably the biggest story today in the world, right? Yeah. 644 00:33:13.009 --> 00:33:15.430 Well, I think just because we have that video evidence 645 00:33:15.509 --> 00:33:18.789 of it, and it's so intense to see just what 646 00:33:19.170 --> 00:33:22.440 happened there, just seeing those walls of water knock everything down. 647 00:33:22.500 --> 00:33:22.700 Yeah. 648 00:33:23.789 --> 00:33:27.089 Otherwise, nothing's changed in Iran. I was going to go 649 00:33:27.109 --> 00:33:30.250 do that story, but I realize there's not even. 650 00:33:30.150 --> 00:33:32.950 A discussion going on. Same old, same old. 651 00:33:33.130 --> 00:33:36.549 The triple murder trial of Lindsay Clancy is finally in 652 00:33:36.569 --> 00:33:40.549 the jury's hands. That's the mom who strangled her three 653 00:33:40.589 --> 00:33:44.150 young children to death in 2023. She has pled not 654 00:33:44.230 --> 00:33:49.019 guilty to three counts of first-degree murder. And while the 655 00:33:49.059 --> 00:33:52.740 prosecutors say they say the killings were premeditated, she has 656 00:33:52.809 --> 00:33:57.690 said that she suffered a postpartum psychotic break. And so 657 00:33:57.710 --> 00:34:00.950 we'll see what the jury does there. If the defense 658 00:34:00.990 --> 00:34:04.130 was good at defending her, it's not clear. And then, 659 00:34:04.150 --> 00:34:06.650 you know, there's all this. Did you see this court 660 00:34:06.690 --> 00:34:09.869 case was finally settled with Facebook Meta? 661 00:34:10.320 --> 00:34:13.179 Idea job so its 18. 662 00:34:12.960 --> 00:34:16.519 Billion dollars the penalty they have to pay out 18 663 00:34:16.519 --> 00:34:19.679 billion dollars almost every state's gonna get this huge sum 664 00:34:19.719 --> 00:34:22.639 of money and they get to decide how to spend 665 00:34:22.679 --> 00:34:24.800 it which is gonna be awfully interesting to watch I 666 00:34:24.820 --> 00:34:27.780 mean this is the biggest case we've seen since big 667 00:34:27.820 --> 00:34:30.690 tobacco loss all those decades ago there's not been a 668 00:34:30.710 --> 00:34:33.889 case as big at that since and since this one 669 00:34:34.469 --> 00:34:35.869 and so now we'll have to wait and see what 670 00:34:35.909 --> 00:34:38.769 happens but all this money's gonna be handed out almost 671 00:34:38.769 --> 00:34:41.750 18 billion dollars And so the question is, how are 672 00:34:41.769 --> 00:34:44.030 these states going to spend it? There's not any real 673 00:34:44.289 --> 00:34:46.869 rules on about where they can spend this money. I mean, 674 00:34:46.889 --> 00:34:48.809 they say they're going to spend it on helping the 675 00:34:48.849 --> 00:34:51.619 mental health of teenagers. But you sort of see when 676 00:34:51.639 --> 00:34:53.139 you see how much money it is, you say, OK, 677 00:34:53.179 --> 00:34:55.940 what's going to go on now? And Meta has promised 678 00:34:55.980 --> 00:34:58.139 that they're going to do all these things like limit 679 00:34:58.199 --> 00:35:01.409 the amount of time kids can spend on Instagram. So 680 00:35:01.489 --> 00:35:04.349 if you're under 18 years old, after two hours in 681 00:35:04.389 --> 00:35:05.349 a 24 hour. 682 00:35:05.190 --> 00:35:07.070 Period, you would be cut off. 683 00:35:07.269 --> 00:35:07.550 Wow. 684 00:35:07.809 --> 00:35:08.050 Yeah. 685 00:35:08.969 --> 00:35:12.989 All of this because the teenagers, the case, which I 686 00:35:13.030 --> 00:35:14.889 guess would have been proven, or at least Meta thought 687 00:35:14.929 --> 00:35:17.400 that they would lose this case, is that teenagers are 688 00:35:17.440 --> 00:35:20.039 suffering from mental health from being on these apps all 689 00:35:20.079 --> 00:35:22.300 day long. The average is like four to five hours 690 00:35:22.360 --> 00:35:25.400 a day for teenagers now. So the question is, how 691 00:35:25.420 --> 00:35:28.420 will they do this? The smartest kids when it comes, 692 00:35:28.539 --> 00:35:30.320 the smartest people when it comes to these apps are 693 00:35:30.360 --> 00:35:30.880 the kids, right? 694 00:35:30.900 --> 00:35:32.019 They know how to get around this. 695 00:35:32.539 --> 00:35:34.539 So the question is, how will they roll this out 696 00:35:34.639 --> 00:35:37.239 so they can really limit the screen time for kids? 697 00:35:37.260 --> 00:35:37.639 We don't know. 698 00:35:38.119 --> 00:35:39.699 But they're apparently going to do it in the next 699 00:35:39.769 --> 00:35:43.309 couple of months. That is, these states get this huge 700 00:35:43.409 --> 00:35:46.150 windfall of money. And it'll be interesting to see how 701 00:35:46.170 --> 00:35:46.760 they spend it. 702 00:35:48.110 --> 00:35:52.969 And then Mitch McConnell, who's been MIA for months on end, 703 00:35:53.269 --> 00:35:56.230 now we're being told by his good friend, Congressman Andy Barr, 704 00:35:56.250 --> 00:36:00.389 who's also from Kentucky, that he'll be back in Congress 705 00:36:00.650 --> 00:36:01.570 come October. 706 00:36:02.489 --> 00:36:02.909 Oh, he will? 707 00:36:03.050 --> 00:36:03.309 Yeah. 708 00:36:03.610 --> 00:36:05.409 But he's been very, very sick, has he not? 709 00:36:05.469 --> 00:36:08.309 Yeah, well, he apparently had this fall. And he went 710 00:36:08.349 --> 00:36:10.969 into a rehab center and now he's recovering at home. 711 00:36:11.010 --> 00:36:14.059 But we've heard nothing, nothing from him except that one 712 00:36:14.199 --> 00:36:17.480 photo of him and his wife in the hospital bed. 713 00:36:18.199 --> 00:36:20.780 His people by his side who work in his Senate 714 00:36:20.820 --> 00:36:24.380 office have said nothing. But now Andy Barr, who's a 715 00:36:24.400 --> 00:36:26.199 good friend, who, by the way, said he hasn't seen 716 00:36:26.239 --> 00:36:30.199 him either, but has heard positive reports on McConnell. And 717 00:36:30.239 --> 00:36:32.329 McConnell has told him that he's going to be back 718 00:36:32.769 --> 00:36:35.449 in the Senate sometime in late September, early October. 719 00:36:35.909 --> 00:36:40.019 He sucks anyway. God bless him. Uh, he's killing us. Yeah. 720 00:36:40.320 --> 00:36:42.170 I go back to the, uh, the first time with 721 00:36:42.190 --> 00:36:44.409 Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell. He wasn't very good to 722 00:36:44.449 --> 00:36:47.510 Trump and us. So, I wish him well, but I'm 723 00:36:47.989 --> 00:36:50.449 not a big fan anyway. All right, big, big show 724 00:36:50.489 --> 00:36:52.690 coming up today. Norm Layden has always a tremendous job. 725 00:36:52.710 --> 00:36:54.630 We'll get back to you.

They dropped that three-game set to Houston. 740 00:37:41.619 --> 00:37:44.400 George Lombard Jr. registered his seventh error in 20 games, 741 00:37:44.440 --> 00:37:48.420 becoming the first Yankee shortstop since Roger Peckinpah in 1915 742 00:37:48.420 --> 00:37:48.719 to commit. 743 00:37:50.639 --> 00:37:52.280 An error in six straight games. 744 00:37:52.300 --> 00:37:54.820 They weren't using gloves back then, by the way, mind you. 745 00:37:55.139 --> 00:37:58.150 Starter Garrett Cole allowed three runs and six hits in 746 00:37:58.230 --> 00:37:58.809 six innings. 747 00:37:59.510 --> 00:38:01.050 He struck out five. 748 00:38:01.570 --> 00:38:03.989 Ben Rice scored New York's lone run on a sag 749 00:38:04.030 --> 00:38:07.409 fly by Cody Bellinger in the sixth.

First pitch from Citi Field, scheduled 767 00:38:48.650 --> 00:38:52.239 for 7-10 p.m. Jets and Giants tonight, you heard Sid 768 00:38:52.280 --> 00:38:55.099 mention it.

Giants are a three-and-a-half-point technical road. 771 00:39:03.539 --> 00:39:06.739 Favorites headed into that one. 7.30 p.m. Star Packers running 772 00:39:06.780 --> 00:39:10.179 back Josh Jacobs. He's in trouble as well charged yesterday 773 00:39:10.219 --> 00:39:13.199 with misdemeanor battery and misdemeanor criminal damage to property. 774 00:39:13.239 --> 00:39:15.460 According to Wisconsin court records, former. 775 00:39:15.219 --> 00:39:17.739 Charges came more than three months after he was arrested 776 00:39:17.780 --> 00:39:20.340 following an alleged domestic violence incident at his home near 777 00:39:20.340 --> 00:39:24.809 Green Bay. According to that complaint, each charge, both class 778 00:39:24.809 --> 00:39:27.980 A misdemeanors, that can go for a $ 10, 000 fine on 779 00:39:28.039 --> 00:39:30.480 both of them or nine months in prison or both 780 00:39:30.639 --> 00:39:33.039 if he is convicted. So he's in quite a bit 781 00:39:33.059 --> 00:39:36.949 of trouble here, Jacobs. The NFL doing their own investigation. 782 00:39:37.010 --> 00:39:40.590 They're conducting that as we speak, and suspension could be 783 00:39:40.610 --> 00:39:42.929 around the corner for the Packers. Running back is a 784 00:39:42.929 --> 00:39:45.550 big part of that offense. So if you're Josh Jacobs' 785 00:39:45.590 --> 00:39:48.119 fantasy owner out there, Maybe I would start looking at 786 00:39:48.199 --> 00:39:50.920 backup options.

I'm Justin Ellick on 789 00:39:56.699 --> 00:39:56.960 77 WABC. 790 00:39:56.980 --> 00:40:00.320 Sid and friends in the. 791 00:40:00.159 --> 00:40:03.789 Morning on the Red Apple Podcast Network. 792 00:40:05.110 --> 00:40:08.750 On that big day coming up, October the 22nd, at 793 00:40:08.789 --> 00:40:12.570 the Rainbow Room, Rockefeller Center, when I'm inducted into the 794 00:40:12.670 --> 00:40:16.639 New York State Broadcasters Hall of Fame. Just so happens 795 00:40:16.699 --> 00:40:19.449 that Rosanna is going in with me. She's one of 796 00:40:19.489 --> 00:40:22.570 the seven people that will make it into the hall 797 00:40:22.610 --> 00:40:25.989 that day. And we've been friendly for many, many, many years. 798 00:40:27.269 --> 00:40:29.449 And I told you the story that when her father 799 00:40:30.260 --> 00:40:35.420 was deathly ill years ago, I actually called Rosanna. She 800 00:40:35.440 --> 00:40:37.760 was in the Hamptons. And I said, I'm going to 801 00:40:37.800 --> 00:40:40.179 go to St. Patrick's Cathedral today and make a prayer 802 00:40:40.199 --> 00:40:42.739 for your father. And I did it. He did pass. 803 00:40:42.780 --> 00:40:45.829 He was a wonderful guy, wonderful guy. But we found 804 00:40:45.909 --> 00:40:47.730 out a couple of days ago now that her mom 805 00:40:47.750 --> 00:40:51.210 has also passed, which is terrible. I got a text 806 00:40:51.389 --> 00:40:55.280 last night from Rosanna's daughter, Jenna. Sweet girl. Met her 807 00:40:55.300 --> 00:40:58.320 a bunch of times. Very sweet. And I guess, I'm 808 00:40:58.340 --> 00:40:59.980 not sure if this is open to the public. My 809 00:41:00.000 --> 00:41:02.800 guess is it is. I've asked. They haven't gotten back 810 00:41:02.840 --> 00:41:06.519 to me. They're going to have a celebration of Marion 811 00:41:06.739 --> 00:41:11.619 Scotto's life. Rosanna Scotto's mom, Marion, God bless her. And 812 00:41:11.639 --> 00:41:14.409 it all comes your way this Wednesday. Well, next Wednesday, 813 00:41:14.469 --> 00:41:19.409 I guess. Not this Wednesday. Next Wednesday, I'll be in Dallas. Wednesday, 814 00:41:19.469 --> 00:41:24.690 September the 9th from 5 to 8 p.m. at Fresco 815 00:41:24.730 --> 00:41:27.030 by Scotto, which, as you guys know, is a very, 816 00:41:27.090 --> 00:41:30.679 very popular eatery. Great place. Great food. A lot of fun. 817 00:41:30.699 --> 00:41:34.739 They dance. They have a blast. 34 East 52nd Street. 818 00:41:35.300 --> 00:41:38.719 What a park here in New York City. A celebration 819 00:41:39.280 --> 00:41:43.320 of Marion Scotto's life. God rest her soul, the beautiful 820 00:41:43.380 --> 00:41:49.099 mom of Rosanna Scotto. Wednesday night, September the 9th at Fresco. Okay, 821 00:41:49.119 --> 00:41:51.539 we've got about five or six amazing guests stopping by. 822 00:41:51.599 --> 00:41:55.380 Big names coming up this hour with Scott Jennings from 823 00:41:55.460 --> 00:41:58.519 CNN on his way to Vegas, in which Larry, take 824 00:41:58.559 --> 00:42:00.389 a quick break. When we get back, he is the 825 00:42:00.550 --> 00:42:02.150 editor of the National Review. 826 00:42:02.989 --> 00:42:06.489 Sid and Friends in the Morning on the Red Apple 827 00:42:06.630 --> 00:42:07.550 Podcast Network. 828 00:42:08.809 --> 00:42:12.389 Rich Lowry is the editor of the National Review. He's 829 00:42:12.489 --> 00:42:14.909 on this show every week because he's great. He's brilliant 830 00:42:14.949 --> 00:42:17.210 and he's my friend. I love him. Rich, good morning, buddy. 831 00:42:17.269 --> 00:42:17.690 How are you? 832 00:42:18.269 --> 00:42:18.869 Good, Sidney. 833 00:42:18.909 --> 00:42:19.190 How are you? 834 00:42:19.690 --> 00:42:23.550 I'm doing great. We find out yesterday, Rich, that Mom Donnie, 835 00:42:23.570 --> 00:42:26.960 of course, is still adamant about going to the 9-11 ceremonies. 836 00:42:27.059 --> 00:42:30.739 And despite the fact that, you know, the local channel 837 00:42:30.739 --> 00:42:33.989 7 News goes crazy. A select group don't want him there. 838 00:42:34.360 --> 00:42:37.380 No dummies. The majority don't want him there. But he's going. 839 00:42:37.400 --> 00:42:39.699 We know he's going. But Trump is not. Trump is 840 00:42:39.739 --> 00:42:40.760 going to the Pentagon. 841 00:42:41.079 --> 00:42:41.420 J.D. 842 00:42:41.500 --> 00:42:44.320 Vance is coming to New York. Last time Trump was here, 843 00:42:44.460 --> 00:42:49.710 I guess, was 2024 when he was campaigning. What are 844 00:42:49.730 --> 00:42:51.469 your thoughts on who's coming and who's not? 845 00:42:53.150 --> 00:42:54.929 Well, I think it'd be great if the president were there, 846 00:42:55.170 --> 00:42:58.170 but the Pentagon was a serious attack as well. Momdami 847 00:42:58.210 --> 00:43:00.130 shouldn't be there, but as we've discussed for weeks now, 848 00:43:00.150 --> 00:43:03.610 he's going to be there. It would be the graceful 849 00:43:03.650 --> 00:43:05.030 thing just to bow out, but he's not going to 850 00:43:05.070 --> 00:43:07.170 do that. So there we are. 851 00:43:07.869 --> 00:43:09.710 He's not going to do it. There's no chance, right? 852 00:43:10.269 --> 00:43:10.949 No, zero. 853 00:43:12.050 --> 00:43:13.110 Yeah, zero chance. 854 00:43:13.170 --> 00:43:15.429 It would be a concession to his critics. I'm sure 855 00:43:15.449 --> 00:43:18.050 they'd see it as though he is admitting something that 856 00:43:18.070 --> 00:43:18.860 he doesn't want to admit. 857 00:43:19.010 --> 00:43:23.309 Right, right, right, right, right. You know, it's interesting. This 858 00:43:23.329 --> 00:43:27.050 Hassan Piker, who is a guy that said America deserved 859 00:43:27.070 --> 00:43:30.610 9-11 and Mamdani sat there and offered no pushback. Zero. 860 00:43:30.730 --> 00:43:33.480 He was a guest on the podcast. Piker said it. 861 00:43:33.800 --> 00:43:36.639 Piker has since apologized for that, but who cares? That's 862 00:43:36.679 --> 00:43:39.159 how he really feels. You know that. But there seems 863 00:43:39.199 --> 00:43:41.860 to be this fracture going on now, Rich, in this 864 00:43:41.900 --> 00:43:45.719 Democrat party. Abdul El-Sayed out in Michigan, who was another 865 00:43:45.760 --> 00:43:49.019 DSA guy, no matter what he says, he's a DSA guy. 866 00:43:49.440 --> 00:43:51.820 He's like, no, no, I'm not with Piker. So there 867 00:43:51.960 --> 00:43:56.119 are some of these Democrats now that are distancing themselves 868 00:43:56.599 --> 00:43:59.880 from Hassan Piker. To me, he's still the face of 869 00:43:59.920 --> 00:44:03.739 the left, which includes everybody from Chuck Schumer to Chevalier. 870 00:44:03.840 --> 00:44:06.929 But there are some that are saying, no, thanks. 871 00:44:08.389 --> 00:44:11.409 Yeah, clearly kind of a memo went out after this 872 00:44:11.469 --> 00:44:14.900 last statement saying that all of American Jews got to 873 00:44:14.940 --> 00:44:18.260 watch out and watch for their safety if they say 874 00:44:18.280 --> 00:44:22.460 they're with Israel. So El-Sayed isn't playing this game, kind 875 00:44:22.480 --> 00:44:25.659 of dancing around. He issued a statement distancing himself from 876 00:44:25.679 --> 00:44:30.699 that statement without naming Piker. And he keeps on acting 877 00:44:30.719 --> 00:44:33.449 as though he never met Piker. The race shouldn't be 878 00:44:33.489 --> 00:44:37.139 about Piker. He repeatedly campaigned with him, including saying, On 879 00:44:37.179 --> 00:44:40.280 the last night, on election night, he was with Hassan Piker. 880 00:44:40.320 --> 00:44:43.400 So clearly they have a huge overlap of views. Now, 881 00:44:43.460 --> 00:44:46.219 I don't think that's true of Chuck Schumer, even though 882 00:44:46.300 --> 00:44:48.679 I have no use for Chuck Schumer. But clearly Piker 883 00:44:48.949 --> 00:44:54.710 is the media embodiment, new media embodiment of the DSA, 884 00:44:54.769 --> 00:44:59.949 deeply illiberal, viciously anti-Zionist, and basically in favor of political violence. 885 00:45:00.300 --> 00:45:02.440 Yeah, basically. So I was talking to Brian Kilmeade the 886 00:45:02.480 --> 00:45:05.800 other day, too, about the, you know, the presidential in 2028. 887 00:45:05.800 --> 00:45:08.760 I know we're all stuck on the midterms right now, 888 00:45:08.800 --> 00:45:11.280 which we need to be. That's where the focus needs 889 00:45:11.320 --> 00:45:14.730 to be. November, a couple of months this year. That's 890 00:45:14.769 --> 00:45:17.610 why we've got this big midterm convention coming up in Dallas, 891 00:45:17.849 --> 00:45:19.610 which I'll be at first time ever they're doing that. 892 00:45:20.070 --> 00:45:21.670 And that's part of the reason why I'm going to Vegas, 893 00:45:22.170 --> 00:45:24.590 to also talk about the midterms. So we know the midterms, 894 00:45:24.989 --> 00:45:28.400 that's the focus right now. But Don't kid yourself. A 895 00:45:28.420 --> 00:45:32.539 lot of folks are looking towards 2028 when it really 896 00:45:32.639 --> 00:45:35.840 is all over for President Trump. And it seems like 897 00:45:35.909 --> 00:45:39.809 Rich Lowry, J.D. Vance will be the anointed one. He'll 898 00:45:39.829 --> 00:45:42.730 be the one. But people say you don't know. You know, 899 00:45:42.750 --> 00:45:45.170 the numbers are coming back and they're not very good 900 00:45:45.210 --> 00:45:47.570 for Vance. Maybe he bows out. Maybe at that point, 901 00:45:47.630 --> 00:45:51.030 Marco Rubio decides to jump in because I guess the. 902 00:45:52.670 --> 00:45:55.679 The consensus is that Rubio and Vance are buddies, and 903 00:45:55.719 --> 00:45:57.780 if Trump wants Vance to do it, that Rubio won't 904 00:45:57.840 --> 00:46:00.800 do it. You hear other names like Ron DeSantis and 905 00:46:01.900 --> 00:46:05.639 Glenn Youngkin pops up there, too, and Hawley out of Missouri. 906 00:46:05.699 --> 00:46:08.420 But what are your thoughts on what we may see 907 00:46:08.460 --> 00:46:08.920 in 2028? 908 00:46:08.920 --> 00:46:12.429 So continue to expect. And you're right, this is going 909 00:46:12.449 --> 00:46:16.690 to start immediately. It's like three months away. Right after midterms, 910 00:46:16.710 --> 00:46:20.349 this will really begin in earnest. I think there's no 911 00:46:20.389 --> 00:46:23.440 way J.D. Vance doesn't run. And I think it's very 912 00:46:23.699 --> 00:46:27.059 likely he gets the nomination. But even coronations are competitive. 913 00:46:27.519 --> 00:46:30.300 Hillary is supposed to be coronated in 2016, but Sanders 914 00:46:30.340 --> 00:46:33.219 gave her a serious challenge. Going way back, Al Gore 915 00:46:33.239 --> 00:46:36.070 was basically coronated in 2000, but Bill Bradley gave him 916 00:46:36.110 --> 00:46:38.750 a race initially. So I expect it will be competitive. 917 00:46:38.849 --> 00:46:41.809 I doubt Rubio will run. I think Ted Cruz will run. 918 00:46:41.889 --> 00:46:46.510 Rand Paul will run. Maybe Youngkin will run. Maybe Brian Kemp, 919 00:46:46.730 --> 00:46:50.389 the former governor of Georgia, runs and a couple others. 920 00:46:50.429 --> 00:46:53.119 But I think it's going to be hard. If Vance 921 00:46:53.199 --> 00:46:57.829 has Trump's explicit or even implicit support, I think it's 922 00:46:57.889 --> 00:46:59.269 going to be hard. You know, we saw down in 923 00:46:59.309 --> 00:47:02.710 South Carolina, he basically created Darlene Graham out of nothing 924 00:47:02.929 --> 00:47:07.099 and got her over the finish line. So his support 925 00:47:07.119 --> 00:47:09.179 is going to be hugely important in 28 for a 926 00:47:09.179 --> 00:47:09.940 Republican nominee. 927 00:47:10.139 --> 00:47:13.340 He's been huge. Almost all of his candidates win, all 928 00:47:13.380 --> 00:47:16.590 of them. And the guys that go against him, Cassidy, Massey, 929 00:47:16.630 --> 00:47:18.739 they get murdered. So clearly Trump... You never hear of 930 00:47:18.760 --> 00:47:22.239 them again. Right. I mean, clearly Trump still has a massive, 931 00:47:23.079 --> 00:47:26.599 I mean, massive amount of power. What's interesting to see 932 00:47:26.639 --> 00:47:28.940 Ted Cruz come out this week, and he's like, I 933 00:47:28.980 --> 00:47:31.440 want to be president. That's it. Yes. I want to 934 00:47:31.480 --> 00:47:35.309 be president. And guess what? I'm ready. Guess who's not? J.D. 935 00:47:35.369 --> 00:47:35.710 Vance. 936 00:47:35.889 --> 00:47:38.690 He actually said he's not ready. How about that? 937 00:47:39.530 --> 00:47:43.170 Yeah. So Cruz is just telling people what... what he's 938 00:47:43.369 --> 00:47:47.670 saying publicly, what he's told everyone privately every day of 939 00:47:47.730 --> 00:47:49.449 his adult life. He wants to be president of the 940 00:47:49.489 --> 00:47:52.239 United States. He's going to run. He really, if you 941 00:47:52.280 --> 00:47:55.260 want someone who hates the trend on the right in 942 00:47:55.300 --> 00:47:58.860 terms of the anti-Semitism and or anti-Zionism as much as 943 00:47:58.900 --> 00:48:01.659 you do, it's Ted Cruz. I mean, he's extremely sincere 944 00:48:01.699 --> 00:48:05.500 about it, a really brilliant guy, but it's going to 945 00:48:05.519 --> 00:48:06.239 be an uphill battle. 946 00:48:07.079 --> 00:48:08.940 I think you're right. So I keep asking, like I 947 00:48:08.980 --> 00:48:13.400 did throughout the whole election period, between Trump and Biden 948 00:48:13.500 --> 00:48:16.000 and other races, what do you think is going to 949 00:48:16.039 --> 00:48:18.630 happen with the midterms as we draw close? I'm going 950 00:48:18.650 --> 00:48:21.570 to do this every single week, which, Larry, until we 951 00:48:21.590 --> 00:48:24.389 get to November, what are you feeling today about the 952 00:48:24.449 --> 00:48:25.889 House and the Senate? 953 00:48:26.489 --> 00:48:29.489 Unfortunately, I think the House is a fairly easy proposition, 954 00:48:29.510 --> 00:48:32.019 unless there's some shocker. I think Kim Jeffrey is going 955 00:48:32.039 --> 00:48:33.579 to be Speaker of the House next year. 956 00:48:33.599 --> 00:48:34.019 Oh, my God. 957 00:48:36.030 --> 00:48:37.670 I hate to put it in such stark terms, but 958 00:48:37.710 --> 00:48:40.530 I think the Senate is kind of 50-50. The most 959 00:48:40.570 --> 00:48:42.809 important race is clearly Michigan in all sorts of ways, 960 00:48:42.829 --> 00:48:46.250 because if Democrats lose that seat, it becomes really hard 961 00:48:46.269 --> 00:48:48.949 to take the Senate, and it would be so important 962 00:48:48.989 --> 00:48:52.670 politically to step on the head of the snake up there. 963 00:48:52.730 --> 00:48:55.090 But all these red states that should be in the 964 00:48:55.130 --> 00:48:59.929 bag are really close, and it's foreseeable Republicans could lose 965 00:48:59.949 --> 00:49:05.010 a lot of them. Texas up in the air, Ohio, Iowa, 966 00:49:05.050 --> 00:49:08.389 Nebraska is even close, Alaska, Dan Sullivan, I think is 967 00:49:08.409 --> 00:49:12.769 a great senator, is behind there. So if Democrats are 968 00:49:12.789 --> 00:49:14.590 taking the Senate, they're doing it through the red states. 969 00:49:15.090 --> 00:49:17.929 In a normal year, you'd say there's no way it's 970 00:49:17.969 --> 00:49:19.349 going to happen. I'd say it's about a 50-50 chance. 971 00:49:20.429 --> 00:49:23.420 Jeez, that's not great news. You know, I was talking 972 00:49:23.440 --> 00:49:26.039 to Charlie Gasparino the other day, and we were talking 973 00:49:26.099 --> 00:49:29.340 about Iran, and this Canada thing. He said, it's got 974 00:49:29.360 --> 00:49:31.179 to stop. It's not good. It's not good for us. 975 00:49:31.239 --> 00:49:33.380 It's not good for Mark Carney in Canada. We're going 976 00:49:33.400 --> 00:49:35.960 to get hurt here in states like Michigan. And Kilmeade 977 00:49:35.980 --> 00:49:39.630 said the same thing, that this U.S.-Canada thing will hurt us. 978 00:49:40.309 --> 00:49:44.340 in some of our own states, including states which manufacture cars, obviously. 979 00:49:44.920 --> 00:49:47.119 But now it's gotten to a new level. Now Lake 980 00:49:47.219 --> 00:49:51.539 Ontario is Lake America. So it doesn't seem like at 981 00:49:51.579 --> 00:49:56.269 least Trump and Corny are willing to calm down anytime soon. 982 00:49:56.349 --> 00:49:58.869 But most of the folks that I talk to, they 983 00:49:58.889 --> 00:50:03.090 think this is silly and doesn't help anybody. I'm with them. 984 00:50:03.610 --> 00:50:07.349 Canada may be annoying, and they may have bad practices, 985 00:50:07.409 --> 00:50:09.449 trade practices on a couple things. There's no way it 986 00:50:09.510 --> 00:50:13.070 can't be worked out reasonably. I just think the first 987 00:50:13.110 --> 00:50:14.690 time Trump said he was going to make them the 988 00:50:14.730 --> 00:50:16.679 51st state, I thought it was kind of funny, and 989 00:50:16.699 --> 00:50:18.739 then he never should have said it again. But instead, 990 00:50:18.860 --> 00:50:23.119 he's pissed them off and disrespected and insulted and humiliated them. 991 00:50:23.460 --> 00:50:27.940 Mark Carney probably wins up there in the election last year, 992 00:50:27.980 --> 00:50:32.150 whatever it was, because of Trump. And so Trump kills 993 00:50:32.389 --> 00:50:34.449 the conservative up there, and then he gets this guy 994 00:50:34.489 --> 00:50:37.429 he's going to hate. And now he hates him, predictably, 995 00:50:37.849 --> 00:50:40.090 and won this trade war that makes zero sense. 996 00:50:40.329 --> 00:50:43.349 Ay-yi-yi, what a mess. Well, the good news is the 997 00:50:43.389 --> 00:50:46.820 weekend's here, and Aaron George is coming back soon, Rich. 998 00:50:46.840 --> 00:50:47.320 How about that? 999 00:50:47.920 --> 00:50:52.000 Well, let's hope he gets to 100% really quickly. Because, 1000 00:50:52.099 --> 00:50:53.960 you know, if we have Judge, you could squint the 1001 00:50:53.980 --> 00:50:56.239 right way, and we're a World Series team. I don't 1002 00:50:56.260 --> 00:50:58.670 think we're a championship team, but the The American League 1003 00:50:58.690 --> 00:51:01.639 is so weak. But this team has been brutal to 1004 00:51:02.119 --> 00:51:06.250 watch at times. Last night was another one. Half our 1005 00:51:06.269 --> 00:51:09.289 game since the All-Star break, they scored one out of 1006 00:51:09.369 --> 00:51:09.769 four hits. 1007 00:51:09.889 --> 00:51:11.510 Yeah, I know. It's like two to one every night. 1008 00:51:11.730 --> 00:51:13.449 They scored eight two nights ago. It was like a 1009 00:51:13.489 --> 00:51:16.449 big party. But they can pitch like nobody. And I'm 1010 00:51:16.469 --> 00:51:18.940 with you. The American League is not very good. So 1011 00:51:18.960 --> 00:51:22.980 we'll see. The Dodgers are still damn good, obviously. There's 1012 00:51:23.000 --> 00:51:25.320 probably two or three teams inside the National League that 1013 00:51:25.340 --> 00:51:28.599 are the best teams in baseball. Brewers. Brewers, damn good. 1014 00:51:28.760 --> 00:51:31.639 Killed the Mets yesterday. Even the Phillies. They play much 1015 00:51:31.659 --> 00:51:33.949 better baseball, but I wouldn't count the Yankees out just yet. 1016 00:51:34.349 --> 00:51:37.170 Rich Lowry, as always, amazing job, brother. Have a great weekend. 1017 00:51:37.650 --> 00:51:39.449 You too. All right, the editor of the National Review 1018 00:51:39.489 --> 00:51:42.150 right there, my dear friend Rich Lowry. That wraps up 1019 00:51:42.190 --> 00:51:45.530 the 7 o'clock hour, officially the 6 o'clock hour, excuse me. 1020 00:51:45.530 --> 00:51:48.179 7 o'clock hour, about to come your way with two 1021 00:51:48.219 --> 00:51:52.159 great guests. We will talk to KT McFarlane late in 1022 00:51:52.199 --> 00:51:56.159 the hour and CNN superstar and maybe, just maybe, the 1023 00:51:56.219 --> 00:51:59.590 next White House press secretary... Sid. 1024 00:51:59.570 --> 00:52:03.670 And Friends in the Morning on the Red Apple Podcast Network. 1025 00:52:04.949 --> 00:52:10.059 Is Monday September 1st? Is that right? I think so, right? 1026 00:52:10.079 --> 00:52:11.099 I think so. 1027 00:52:11.699 --> 00:52:12.579 What's today's date? 1028 00:52:12.840 --> 00:52:15.760 No, it's the 31st. You've got 31 days in this month. 1029 00:52:16.579 --> 00:52:19.300 So Tuesday, September 1st. Okay, right. That's the day that 1030 00:52:19.320 --> 00:52:23.869 I actually return from Vegas. Okay. Either way, man, August 1031 00:52:24.050 --> 00:52:25.429 is out the house. 1032 00:52:25.869 --> 00:52:27.070 Out the house. Summer's over. 1033 00:52:27.150 --> 00:52:27.449 That's it. 1034 00:52:27.610 --> 00:52:27.909 It's over. 1035 00:52:28.070 --> 00:52:30.829 You know, I was walking down the other night, walking 1036 00:52:30.869 --> 00:52:35.360 home from La Sorrentina, Louis, and walking down between 129 1037 00:52:35.360 --> 00:52:39.599 to my house, a couple of blocks, you know. And 1038 00:52:40.739 --> 00:52:42.500 I said to Gabriel a couple of nights ago, too, 1039 00:52:42.539 --> 00:52:43.820 this was not the night I was with you, Louis, 1040 00:52:44.000 --> 00:52:47.360 doing the same exact walk. I said, doesn't it seem 1041 00:52:47.429 --> 00:52:53.349 like yesterday we made this walk? And the streets to 1042 00:52:53.369 --> 00:52:57.690 the right, to the left, had snow piled like seven 1043 00:52:57.769 --> 00:53:02.190 feet high. We had ice glaciers at the beginning of 1044 00:53:02.230 --> 00:53:06.230 just about every block for a good, I don't know, 1045 00:53:06.230 --> 00:53:12.210 20 blocks. Had to walk through the ice glacier, not 1046 00:53:12.309 --> 00:53:14.369 go too far to your right or your left or 1047 00:53:14.389 --> 00:53:17.800 you would slip on the snow. And then I distinctly 1048 00:53:17.860 --> 00:53:22.630 remember coming into the city, One Sunday afternoon, very treacherous, 1049 00:53:23.630 --> 00:53:27.900 NFL playoff football, car pulls up, snow is coming down 1050 00:53:27.940 --> 00:53:32.000 like three inches an hour. There's Gene and Lewis. And 1051 00:53:32.019 --> 00:53:35.219 we're going into the city because the next day, that Monday, 1052 00:53:35.800 --> 00:53:40.360 happened to be my 10-year anniversary at the station. So 1053 00:53:40.380 --> 00:53:41.940 we had to get in. We had to. We had 1054 00:53:42.260 --> 00:53:45.079 guests and people and Turned out to be an amazing 1055 00:53:45.119 --> 00:53:49.750 day and a great show. Trump came by. Everybody came by. Hannity, Levin, 1056 00:53:49.789 --> 00:53:53.110 all these amazing guests. We had a live in-studio audience. 1057 00:53:53.150 --> 00:53:56.429 My buddy Dr. John Patash was there and Caroline Schenkel 1058 00:53:56.469 --> 00:53:59.690 and many others. Lou and I stayed around the corner 1059 00:54:00.130 --> 00:54:02.760 at a hotel, had a great dinner. Sunday night, then 1060 00:54:02.800 --> 00:54:05.280 Monday night, we all had dinner. No one actually bought 1061 00:54:05.320 --> 00:54:06.019 dinner that night. 1062 00:54:06.300 --> 00:54:07.320 No, wasn't that Sunday night? 1063 00:54:07.440 --> 00:54:08.079 No, that was Monday. 1064 00:54:08.139 --> 00:54:08.659 Oh, that was Monday? 1065 00:54:08.719 --> 00:54:11.139 Sunday was the other game. We were watching the Patriots 1066 00:54:11.179 --> 00:54:12.030 and the Broncos, man, Lou. 1067 00:54:12.039 --> 00:54:12.739 That's right, that's right. 1068 00:54:13.230 --> 00:54:16.159 So I remember all of it very vividly because the 1069 00:54:16.219 --> 00:54:18.179 weather was horrible. I remember. 1070 00:54:18.239 --> 00:54:21.960 It was slushy. You were stepping in puddles. It was horrible. 1071 00:54:21.980 --> 00:54:25.699 We came down your block. And there was two walls 1072 00:54:25.860 --> 00:54:26.980 of snow on each. 1073 00:54:26.860 --> 00:54:27.920 Side of your block. 1074 00:54:28.159 --> 00:54:29.460 Literally walls. 1075 00:54:29.480 --> 00:54:33.809 You came down your steps holding all of your nice 1076 00:54:33.889 --> 00:54:34.909 shirts and jackets. 1077 00:54:34.929 --> 00:54:36.150 Yeah, and like a duffel bag. 1078 00:54:36.230 --> 00:54:39.469 Yeah, but you almost didn't have anything covering them. 1079 00:54:39.510 --> 00:54:39.570 No. 1080 00:54:39.590 --> 00:54:41.349 I said, where's your garment bag? 1081 00:54:41.389 --> 00:54:42.510 Where's your plastic garment bag? 1082 00:54:42.610 --> 00:54:43.170 It ripped. 1083 00:54:43.210 --> 00:54:45.840 I don't have it. It's coming down right through the 1084 00:54:45.940 --> 00:54:49.039 snow and walking. And I think Danielle was laughing. 1085 00:54:48.719 --> 00:54:49.000 At the time. 1086 00:54:49.019 --> 00:54:51.610 She was, no. She's like, what are you doing? I'm like, 1087 00:54:51.650 --> 00:54:52.750 I got to get into the city. I got to 1088 00:54:52.769 --> 00:54:53.170 go to work. 1089 00:54:53.329 --> 00:54:54.070 So insane. 1090 00:54:54.289 --> 00:54:58.050 I know. So here we are wrapping up August. Not 1091 00:54:58.070 --> 00:55:01.650 that that type of weather is coming back anytime soon, 1092 00:55:02.570 --> 00:55:06.190 but something tells me we are closer to that type 1093 00:55:06.230 --> 00:55:07.719 of weather than 95. 1094 00:55:07.710 --> 00:55:07.809 Yeah. 1095 00:55:09.369 --> 00:55:12.190 And by all accounts, it's going to be another long, treacherous, 1096 00:55:12.489 --> 00:55:13.269 snowy winter. 1097 00:55:13.349 --> 00:55:13.889 Who said this? 1098 00:55:13.909 --> 00:55:14.329 I don't know. 1099 00:55:14.809 --> 00:55:15.219 I made it up. 1100 00:55:15.349 --> 00:55:19.010 What accounts are these? Mine. By all accounts. I mean, 1101 00:55:19.050 --> 00:55:22.110 I know where I'm going later on today, the high temperature. 1102 00:55:22.519 --> 00:55:26.340 We started the program at 6 o'clock. We played Billy Idol. 1103 00:55:26.780 --> 00:55:29.119 Because we're going to go see Billy tomorrow night in Vegas. 1104 00:55:29.340 --> 00:55:34.699 Hot in the city. 107 degrees in Vegas today. It 1105 00:55:34.760 --> 00:55:38.380 cools down. To a very balmy 105 tomorrow. 1106 00:55:38.519 --> 00:55:39.280 Very balmy, yeah. 1107 00:55:39.300 --> 00:55:39.920 Get a good tan, though. 1108 00:55:40.300 --> 00:55:42.360 I remember the first time I was on the way 1109 00:55:42.400 --> 00:55:46.559 with Scott Kaplan to Arizona. We were going to Scottsdale. 1110 00:55:47.760 --> 00:55:50.940 And they told us, it's going to be hot, but 1111 00:55:50.980 --> 00:55:54.599 don't worry. It's dry heat. Not a lot of humidity. 1112 00:55:54.619 --> 00:55:57.960 You're going to be fine. And I was there walking around, 1113 00:55:58.039 --> 00:56:00.920 and I said to Scott, I said, how does anybody 1114 00:56:00.980 --> 00:56:04.969 live here? This is brutal. One of the biggest lies... 1115 00:56:05.079 --> 00:56:09.289 in the history of our country, is that dry heat 1116 00:56:09.489 --> 00:56:14.949 is not hot. I mean, 105 degrees is 105 degrees 1117 00:56:15.489 --> 00:56:18.570 no matter what. And I don't care because I love 1118 00:56:18.590 --> 00:56:21.019 the sun and I'll throw on a pair of shorts 1119 00:56:21.099 --> 00:56:23.659 and I'll even go to the gym a couple days 1120 00:56:23.719 --> 00:56:26.900 in Vegas and all that. But don't kid yourself. 105 1121 00:56:26.900 --> 00:56:30.360 is hot. And I just found out that Rich Lowry... 1122 00:56:31.230 --> 00:56:33.530 who was just on the show, did a great job. Editor, 1123 00:56:33.550 --> 00:56:35.760 National Review. He's going to Vegas, too. 1124 00:56:36.719 --> 00:56:36.840 Oh. 1125 00:56:37.000 --> 00:56:37.380 Yeah. 1126 00:56:37.920 --> 00:56:38.900 Rich Lowry. 1127 00:56:39.019 --> 00:56:39.840 He'll be at RJC? 1128 00:56:40.599 --> 00:56:40.840 Yeah. 1129 00:56:41.079 --> 00:56:41.590 Oh, cool. 1130 00:56:41.739 --> 00:56:41.969 Yeah. 1131 00:56:42.170 --> 00:56:44.949 So he's going, too. We got a big event. I'll 1132 00:56:44.969 --> 00:56:46.969 take a short break. When we get back, he's one 1133 00:56:46.989 --> 00:56:51.070 of the major superstars. in our business today. He really is. 1134 00:56:51.630 --> 00:56:55.409 And again, it looks like he may be the person 1135 00:56:55.429 --> 00:56:59.900 to replace Caroline Leavitt as the next White House press secretary. 1136 00:57:00.219 --> 00:57:03.099 My friend Scott Jennings makes his debut. 1137 00:57:03.840 --> 00:57:07.380 Sid and Friends in the Morning on the Red Apple 1138 00:57:07.500 --> 00:57:08.480 Podcast Network. 1139 00:57:09.670 --> 00:57:12.429 If you had a 9-11 scale event, would you want 1140 00:57:12.489 --> 00:57:14.989 somebody who can't prove that they can do anything in 1141 00:57:15.010 --> 00:57:15.380 the chair? 1142 00:57:15.570 --> 00:57:15.920 Legit. 1143 00:57:15.960 --> 00:57:19.570 Is it fair to say that he would cheer on 9-11? 1144 00:57:20.239 --> 00:57:23.159 He's taking pictures with unindicted co-conspirators from the World Trade 1145 00:57:23.179 --> 00:57:23.980 Center bombing. 1146 00:57:24.300 --> 00:57:26.159 Are you willing to say that? You really think that 1147 00:57:26.219 --> 00:57:27.760 he would cheer on 9-11? 1148 00:57:27.889 --> 00:57:30.710 He's taking pictures with unindicted co-conspirators. 1149 00:57:30.090 --> 00:57:34.110 From the World Trade Center bombing. 1150 00:57:34.170 --> 00:57:35.969 It wasn't FOMO, it was the radio. 1151 00:57:35.989 --> 00:57:38.349 But I'm asking Scott, because Scott seems to think that's 1152 00:57:38.369 --> 00:57:43.210 like a totally above board line of attack. Do you 1153 00:57:43.250 --> 00:57:44.190 think that that's true? 1154 00:57:45.269 --> 00:57:47.730 I can only tell you what I see on my phone. 1155 00:57:48.090 --> 00:57:51.170 I see a picture of Mamdani with a guy who 1156 00:57:51.210 --> 00:57:53.800 was an unindicted co-conspirator from a terrorist attack in New 1157 00:57:53.840 --> 00:57:54.219 York City. 1158 00:57:54.659 --> 00:57:55.980 Do you think that was a good picture to take? 1159 00:57:56.000 --> 00:58:00.159 Listen, he is an unindicted co-conspirator in that case, but 1160 00:58:00.179 --> 00:58:04.550 it's just worth noting for context. In 2009, Bloomberg met 1161 00:58:04.590 --> 00:58:09.250 with that same imam, the last mayor who just endorsed 1162 00:58:09.329 --> 00:58:16.329 Eric Adams. awarded him, apparently, an award fairly recently. So, 1163 00:58:16.389 --> 00:58:20.809 I mean, your criticism is taken, but I also think 1164 00:58:20.889 --> 00:58:23.530 that's a different point from saying somebody would cheer on 1165 00:58:23.949 --> 00:58:25.449 a terror attack that killed thousands of people. 1166 00:58:25.480 --> 00:58:27.480 But is this the time to be taking pictures with 1167 00:58:27.500 --> 00:58:28.320 this controversial. 1168 00:58:28.869 --> 00:58:29.309 Imam. 1169 00:58:29.550 --> 00:58:33.179 I mean, when people have such deep questions, my Jewish 1170 00:58:33.239 --> 00:58:34.659 family is petrified. 1171 00:58:34.760 --> 00:58:38.860 We'll be in Las Vegas together again coming up this weekend, 1172 00:58:39.280 --> 00:58:42.219 but he's making his debut on our number one rated 1173 00:58:42.239 --> 00:58:45.130 program here in New York City this morning, my friend 1174 00:58:45.210 --> 00:58:47.590 Scott Jennings. Scott, good morning, pal. How are you? 1175 00:58:48.449 --> 00:58:51.590 I'm doing great, and thank you for playing that clip. 1176 00:58:51.650 --> 00:58:54.829 I think it's important that we all remember this 25th 1177 00:58:54.869 --> 00:58:59.679 anniversary of 9-11 and You know, it's something we always 1178 00:58:59.699 --> 00:59:02.440 said never forget, but it certainly feels like a lot 1179 00:59:02.440 --> 00:59:05.179 of people did. And we've got to refocus this country 1180 00:59:05.179 --> 00:59:07.590 on the dangers that we face in this world. And 1181 00:59:07.590 --> 00:59:10.639 so I'm glad glad for you to be bringing attention 1182 00:59:10.659 --> 00:59:13.389 to it and know you're fighting for what's best for you, 1183 00:59:13.469 --> 00:59:14.590 New York and best for the West. 1184 00:59:14.869 --> 00:59:17.429 Oh, thank you, Scott. I decided after July 4th when 1185 00:59:17.449 --> 00:59:21.360 we turned 250 starting that Monday, July 6th. Every single 1186 00:59:21.420 --> 00:59:23.659 day I would do something on 9-11, and I have. 1187 00:59:23.960 --> 00:59:27.099 I've kept my promise. I brought Giovanni Galante on this show. 1188 00:59:27.429 --> 00:59:30.269 He's the Staten Island gentleman that started the petition. Now 1189 00:59:30.429 --> 00:59:35.150 over 90,000 strong to keep the mayor away on 9-11. 1190 00:59:35.530 --> 00:59:37.469 I brought on a guy a couple days ago named 1191 00:59:37.530 --> 00:59:40.469 Jack Joyce, who has reached out to President Trump to 1192 00:59:40.510 --> 00:59:43.300 make the World Trade Center a national monument. I brought 1193 00:59:43.420 --> 00:59:47.119 on many, many family members of the victims who were 1194 00:59:47.179 --> 00:59:47.960 killed that day. 1195 00:59:48.039 --> 00:59:48.159 So. 1196 00:59:48.639 --> 00:59:51.579 For me, I take it very, very seriously. I know 1197 00:59:51.599 --> 00:59:54.000 the president is going to be at the Pentagon that day. 1198 00:59:54.019 --> 00:59:56.199 I wish he was here. They will have J.D. Vance here. 1199 00:59:56.579 --> 01:00:00.219 But I am really upset that Mamdani, a guy who 1200 01:00:00.340 --> 01:00:04.239 is besties with Hasan Piker, is going to be at 1201 01:00:04.340 --> 01:00:05.840 that site that morning. 1202 01:00:07.219 --> 01:00:10.190 Yeah, he, you know, he's going to step into a 1203 01:00:10.210 --> 01:00:13.809 situation there where, you know, frankly, he's dug himself such 1204 01:00:13.869 --> 01:00:16.860 a deep hole. with people who lived through that day, 1205 01:00:16.920 --> 01:00:21.079 with people who have scars that they'll never recover from 1206 01:00:21.139 --> 01:00:26.199 from that day. And well, given his commentary on so 1207 01:00:26.219 --> 01:00:30.539 many other things, I really worry about how he might 1208 01:00:30.960 --> 01:00:34.130 portray the state of New York City 25 years after 9-11. 1209 01:00:34.780 --> 01:00:36.860 Remember during the campaign, he said the real trouble with 1210 01:00:36.880 --> 01:00:39.849 9-11 was his was his aunt. You know, she didn't 1211 01:00:39.869 --> 01:00:43.869 feel great about riding the subway. I mean, it was, 1212 01:00:43.969 --> 01:00:47.349 I mean, that, that was the craziest, that was the craziest. 1213 01:00:46.849 --> 01:00:48.050 Sort of thing. 1214 01:00:48.210 --> 01:00:51.030 And, and, and it, it sort of reveals that he 1215 01:00:51.070 --> 01:00:54.190 doesn't get what the people of New York went through, 1216 01:00:54.250 --> 01:00:57.760 what they're still going through today. And, uh, which I 1217 01:00:57.780 --> 01:00:59.949 guess makes sense that he's not really from, from New 1218 01:00:59.989 --> 01:01:03.699 York and, uh, but it's a, it's a big, it's 1219 01:01:03.719 --> 01:01:06.440 a big day. It is a big anniversary of, And 1220 01:01:06.480 --> 01:01:09.059 we really need to refocus ourselves on the big picture here. 1221 01:01:09.380 --> 01:01:11.420 And that's that there are people that wish us harm. 1222 01:01:11.820 --> 01:01:13.739 They wish to harm them and they wish us harm now. 1223 01:01:13.800 --> 01:01:15.760 And we have to take the threat seriously. 1224 01:01:16.059 --> 01:01:18.059 That story about his aunt turned out to be a 1225 01:01:18.119 --> 01:01:20.929 total lie. She was never on the subway. It wasn't 1226 01:01:20.989 --> 01:01:24.130 even here. She was in a different country, Scott Jennings. So, 1227 01:01:24.469 --> 01:01:26.929 you know, that guy doesn't belong there when he uses, 1228 01:01:27.190 --> 01:01:33.389 uses 9-11. to put it in a nonsense story, to 1229 01:01:33.530 --> 01:01:36.210 lie about it, to go out there and tell everybody 1230 01:01:36.269 --> 01:01:40.289 about the fears of Islamophobia. He lied about his aunt. 1231 01:01:40.530 --> 01:01:43.780 That story never happened. And look at the CBC, Scott. 1232 01:01:43.800 --> 01:01:47.460 I mean, you're on CNN. That's difficult enough. Now you've 1233 01:01:47.480 --> 01:01:51.699 got the CBC. They're telling their journalists you cannot refer 1234 01:01:52.139 --> 01:01:55.360 to 9-11 as a terrorist act. They don't want the 1235 01:01:55.380 --> 01:02:00.440 words terrorist or terrorism being used. What they're saying is— get 1236 01:01:59.920 --> 01:02:03.219 ready for this— What they're saying is that a bunch 1237 01:02:03.260 --> 01:02:06.320 of planes just happened to crash into a couple of 1238 01:02:06.389 --> 01:02:09.909 buildings and the World Trade Center just happened to get destroyed. 1239 01:02:10.130 --> 01:02:15.050 They don't want the words terrorist attack or terrorism even used. Now, 1240 01:02:15.070 --> 01:02:15.969 how do you explain that? 1241 01:02:17.050 --> 01:02:20.099 Well, here's how I explain it. Because the progressive project 1242 01:02:20.760 --> 01:02:25.659 is to push socialism, communism, and radical Islamo-Marxism on the 1243 01:02:25.699 --> 01:02:27.860 United States of America. And the only way you can 1244 01:02:27.900 --> 01:02:32.340 achieve that is to erase people's memory, is to make 1245 01:02:32.400 --> 01:02:36.860 people forget the consequences of the kinds of people that 1246 01:02:36.880 --> 01:02:39.820 they're trying to promote right now. And so if anyone 1247 01:02:39.860 --> 01:02:43.000 remembers what happened on 9-11, if anybody remembers the truth, 1248 01:02:43.059 --> 01:02:45.639 which is that we were attacked by radical Islamic terrorists, 1249 01:02:46.280 --> 01:02:48.769 then they might want to do something about that today. 1250 01:02:48.829 --> 01:02:50.650 But if people are made to forget, if people are 1251 01:02:50.690 --> 01:02:53.730 made to remember these things in a different way, if 1252 01:02:53.789 --> 01:02:57.739 the past and our truth is erased, then... It gives 1253 01:02:57.760 --> 01:03:00.239 them a better chance to install their program and to 1254 01:03:00.280 --> 01:03:03.119 rip out America root and branch. And so I explain 1255 01:03:03.159 --> 01:03:05.880 it that it's the same thing with socialism. It's the 1256 01:03:05.920 --> 01:03:08.639 same thing with communism. They don't want anybody to know 1257 01:03:08.659 --> 01:03:11.960 that Chairman Mao killed 80 million people in China. They 1258 01:03:12.000 --> 01:03:13.539 just want to dress up like him and pretend like 1259 01:03:13.599 --> 01:03:16.280 everything's fine over there. They don't want people to know 1260 01:03:16.320 --> 01:03:19.969 the truth about what they're trying to install in the 1261 01:03:20.010 --> 01:03:21.909 United States of America. And so the way to get 1262 01:03:21.969 --> 01:03:23.670 rid of the truth is to get rid of it. 1263 01:03:23.730 --> 01:03:26.250 And that's exactly what that order sounds like to me. 1264 01:03:27.599 --> 01:03:31.260 Exactly right. And now you talk about the fears around 1265 01:03:31.280 --> 01:03:36.019 the country. Scott Jennings with people like Abdul El-Sayed running 1266 01:03:36.059 --> 01:03:38.739 in Michigan. He claims he's not DSA. I still call 1267 01:03:38.780 --> 01:03:42.420 him DSA. I don't care. He has, unlike Mamdani, he 1268 01:03:42.519 --> 01:03:47.250 has fears. actually distanced himself from Hassan Piker. Hardly makes 1269 01:03:47.309 --> 01:03:49.230 him a great guy or a great American, Scott, but 1270 01:03:49.250 --> 01:03:51.909 he has done that. And some members now of the 1271 01:03:51.929 --> 01:03:55.489 Democrat Party are doing that. But the party is such 1272 01:03:55.550 --> 01:03:57.510 a mess. Scott, I mean, I don't know what these 1273 01:03:57.550 --> 01:03:59.510 people say. I don't watch CNN except for Iran, okay? 1274 01:03:59.889 --> 01:04:05.460 What are they possibly saying? You've got lunatics, progressives, DSA, communists, 1275 01:04:05.780 --> 01:04:10.059 Jew haters, anti-Semites, and they're worried that President Trump might 1276 01:04:10.119 --> 01:04:13.099 change the name of a body of water? Are we serious? 1277 01:04:14.539 --> 01:04:15.500 Well, no, we're not. 1278 01:04:15.679 --> 01:04:18.500 We're not serious. And the party, the Democrats have been 1279 01:04:18.539 --> 01:04:23.179 totally overwhelmed and overtaken by these people. And El-Sayed, although 1280 01:04:23.199 --> 01:04:27.030 he tried to distance himself from Piker. Piker then made 1281 01:04:27.050 --> 01:04:28.710 a video and said, well, I don't really think he's 1282 01:04:28.750 --> 01:04:31.070 changing his position. He's just doing it to fool people 1283 01:04:31.090 --> 01:04:35.800 to win the election. And so, I mean, even he 1284 01:04:35.840 --> 01:04:39.539 knows it's a total joke. This is the plan, okay? 1285 01:04:39.599 --> 01:04:40.420 This is the plan. 1286 01:04:40.440 --> 01:04:43.179 Abdul El-Sayed is a socialist. 1287 01:04:43.219 --> 01:04:46.960 He believes in socialist ideas. He thinks the United States 1288 01:04:46.980 --> 01:04:49.199 of America is rotten at its core, and that would 1289 01:04:49.239 --> 01:04:52.300 justify ripping it out root and branch. That's what Piker believes. 1290 01:04:53.130 --> 01:04:55.590 And that's where the energy is in their party. And 1291 01:04:55.610 --> 01:04:58.190 they're electing people in primaries all over the country who 1292 01:04:58.210 --> 01:05:00.849 believe in these things. And if they get to Washington, 1293 01:05:00.929 --> 01:05:03.530 they intend to change our country as we know it. 1294 01:05:03.570 --> 01:05:05.469 We cannot permit it. We have to fight against it 1295 01:05:06.070 --> 01:05:07.800 because it puts every single one of us in danger. 1296 01:05:08.340 --> 01:05:10.460 Bottom line, every one of us in danger. What do 1297 01:05:10.480 --> 01:05:12.440 you think is going to happen, though? Because there's a 1298 01:05:12.460 --> 01:05:14.840 lot of folks, Scott, that say, hey, it's one thing 1299 01:05:14.880 --> 01:05:17.579 to win a primary. And some of these people did well. 1300 01:05:18.000 --> 01:05:21.179 Some did lose, thank God, like Francesca Hong, running for 1301 01:05:21.219 --> 01:05:24.940 governor in Wisconsin and some of those really crazy candidates 1302 01:05:24.960 --> 01:05:28.300 down in South Florida, Dan Bilzerian against Randy Fine and 1303 01:05:28.619 --> 01:05:31.570 that psycho that ran against Moskowitz. But some did win, right? 1304 01:05:31.630 --> 01:05:34.570 Angie Nixon won in the northern part of the state. 1305 01:05:34.889 --> 01:05:37.110 But most people feel like these people who won the 1306 01:05:37.150 --> 01:05:41.650 primaries are not going to win come Election Day in November. 1307 01:05:41.889 --> 01:05:42.429 What do you think? 1308 01:05:43.289 --> 01:05:44.679 Some of them are going to win. Some of them 1309 01:05:44.699 --> 01:05:47.739 are guaranteed to win because of the nature of their districts. 1310 01:05:47.780 --> 01:05:50.380 But to me, I look for what it tells me 1311 01:05:50.420 --> 01:05:54.820 about the larger... political forces and the tectonics in America. 1312 01:05:54.860 --> 01:05:57.820 You have a major American political party that has been 1313 01:05:57.840 --> 01:06:02.659 totally overwhelmed by this ideology. You know, Chuck Schumer, Hakeem Jeffries, 1314 01:06:03.179 --> 01:06:06.469 all these people, Pelosi, they don't matter anymore. The only 1315 01:06:06.489 --> 01:06:09.829 people who matter are these socialists who are now captain 1316 01:06:09.849 --> 01:06:12.159 of the ship. And look ahead to 2028. Who is 1317 01:06:12.219 --> 01:06:15.980 the leading candidate for president of the Democratic Party? It's 1318 01:06:16.039 --> 01:06:21.460 Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who just yesterday renewed her membership in the 1319 01:06:21.500 --> 01:06:25.469 Democratic Socialists of America Club. Oh, my God. And so 1320 01:06:26.829 --> 01:06:29.650 I guess I'm thinking less short term and more long 1321 01:06:29.690 --> 01:06:32.150 term about what this tells us about one of our 1322 01:06:32.190 --> 01:06:34.800 two parties. One of our two parties has been taken over. 1323 01:06:35.400 --> 01:06:39.239 by an ideology that fundamentally hates our country. And they 1324 01:06:39.280 --> 01:06:41.530 think our country is a force for evil in the world. 1325 01:06:41.969 --> 01:06:45.090 And they think, therefore, ripping it out and destroying it 1326 01:06:45.150 --> 01:06:47.869 and building something in its place is justified. That's what 1327 01:06:47.909 --> 01:06:50.610 they intend to do. Just read their platform. Everything about 1328 01:06:50.650 --> 01:06:53.369 it is about the destruction of the United States of America, 1329 01:06:53.409 --> 01:06:55.780 as we've known for 250 years. And that is the 1330 01:06:55.820 --> 01:06:57.239 stakes of this and the next election. 1331 01:06:58.019 --> 01:07:01.360 You know, talking about socialism, I enjoy you on Twitter too, Scott, 1332 01:07:01.400 --> 01:07:04.670 not just television. You tweeted this 21 hours ago, and 1333 01:07:04.690 --> 01:07:07.530 it goes like this. There is so much violence in 1334 01:07:07.570 --> 01:07:12.050 the socialist heart that they are, quote, deeply saddened when 1335 01:07:12.070 --> 01:07:17.380 an alleged meat cleaver wielding murderer passes away in jail. 1336 01:07:18.539 --> 01:07:22.739 And what you're talking about is that this mayor, Mamdani, actually, 1337 01:07:23.199 --> 01:07:26.980 actually talked about the sympathy and how sad he was 1338 01:07:27.420 --> 01:07:30.340 for the murderer, not the victims, not the people the 1339 01:07:30.360 --> 01:07:33.860 murderer killed. It's the same guy that went to visit prisoners, 1340 01:07:33.960 --> 01:07:37.239 as you know, in Rikers Island to watch soccer games. 1341 01:07:37.679 --> 01:07:42.070 How twisted are these people that they actually get sad 1342 01:07:42.130 --> 01:07:45.710 when the criminal dies and say nothing when good people die? 1343 01:07:47.099 --> 01:07:50.489 Yeah, this is this is the upside down logic that 1344 01:07:51.250 --> 01:07:54.610 it is society's fault that this person picked up a 1345 01:07:54.630 --> 01:07:56.690 meat cleaver and murdered some people. And so we have 1346 01:07:56.710 --> 01:08:00.190 to feel sad about that. The victim becomes but a 1347 01:08:00.250 --> 01:08:01.710 footnote in. 1348 01:08:01.760 --> 01:08:02.260 All of this. 1349 01:08:02.280 --> 01:08:05.300 I mean, Mamdani's larger criminal justice views are not really 1350 01:08:05.340 --> 01:08:07.320 in question. He wants to close Rikers. He wants to 1351 01:08:07.380 --> 01:08:10.159 abolish prisons. That's what the socialists want to do. They 1352 01:08:10.179 --> 01:08:12.619 don't want any prisons. Well, if you don't have any prisons, 1353 01:08:12.639 --> 01:08:14.309 where do you put the violent people? You put them 1354 01:08:14.329 --> 01:08:18.550 right back out on the streets. And so when a 1355 01:08:18.649 --> 01:08:22.560 violent criminal dies in prison and you say you're, quote, 1356 01:08:22.649 --> 01:08:25.979 deeply saddened and you have nothing to say for the victim, 1357 01:08:26.020 --> 01:08:28.439 that tells you, who do I really care about? When 1358 01:08:28.479 --> 01:08:30.300 he wakes up in the morning, who is he thinking about? 1359 01:08:30.930 --> 01:08:32.850 He's thinking about, well, how do I close the jails 1360 01:08:33.409 --> 01:08:35.210 and put the violent back out on the street? And 1361 01:08:35.250 --> 01:08:37.930 he has no regard for the victims that caused him 1362 01:08:37.949 --> 01:08:39.720 to go to jail in the first place or the 1363 01:08:39.760 --> 01:08:43.000 victims that would come after the completion of such a project. 1364 01:08:43.199 --> 01:08:45.920 And it's not just him. That's what these socialist candidates 1365 01:08:45.960 --> 01:08:49.619 believe across the country. Abolition of prisons and abolition of 1366 01:08:49.699 --> 01:08:53.250 police is a recipe for anarchy and a recipe to 1367 01:08:53.270 --> 01:08:55.140 destroy this country, and that's why they're for it. 1368 01:08:56.670 --> 01:08:58.670 You know, I don't disagree with you very often, Scott. 1369 01:08:58.689 --> 01:08:59.250 Maybe never. 1370 01:08:59.270 --> 01:08:59.909 Okay. 1371 01:09:00.189 --> 01:09:00.770 I think you're great. 1372 01:09:00.800 --> 01:09:01.020 I do. 1373 01:09:01.520 --> 01:09:04.760 But you said something on Twitter, too, which my next guest, 1374 01:09:04.779 --> 01:09:07.039 I think she's on hold already. She's so spectacular. I 1375 01:09:07.060 --> 01:09:09.840 know you love her, too, KT McFarlane. She says all 1376 01:09:09.880 --> 01:09:12.449 the time, and I disagree with her, too, And that is, 1377 01:09:12.750 --> 01:09:16.329 for those Democrats out there, we've already won the Iran war. 1378 01:09:16.689 --> 01:09:19.680 And no, we haven't. I mean, we're winning. I'm not 1379 01:09:19.720 --> 01:09:22.760 dumb enough to say we're losing. We are winning. Economic 1380 01:09:22.819 --> 01:09:25.739 indicators are going our way. But this game's not over. 1381 01:09:26.039 --> 01:09:28.500 This is like the seventh inning. You're a big sports guy, 1382 01:09:28.520 --> 01:09:32.029 Scott Jennings. This game's not over. I know Trump does 1383 01:09:32.069 --> 01:09:34.970 it because he's the president, but you can't claim victory yet. 1384 01:09:35.010 --> 01:09:37.329 So all I'm saying to people like you and KT 1385 01:09:37.369 --> 01:09:40.390 and others, I never said we're losing. Yes, that's the Democrats. 1386 01:09:40.590 --> 01:09:43.729 That's ridiculous. We are winning, but we haven't won yet. 1387 01:09:44.189 --> 01:09:47.130 How is that possible? They still have the dust. They 1388 01:09:47.170 --> 01:09:51.609 still have layers of these psychos in the IRGC that 1389 01:09:51.649 --> 01:09:54.949 want to kill us. The straight is not really as 1390 01:09:55.010 --> 01:09:57.750 open as the president wants you to believe. Why can't 1391 01:09:57.770 --> 01:10:01.590 we just say we're winning, but Mariano Rivera hasn't entered 1392 01:10:01.609 --> 01:10:02.710 the game just yet? 1393 01:10:03.989 --> 01:10:08.109 Well, here's my argument. We've sunk their navy. We've destroyed 1394 01:10:08.130 --> 01:10:11.550 their military. We've decimated their defense industrial base, which is 1395 01:10:11.590 --> 01:10:15.229 how you produce other weapons. We killed their first layer 1396 01:10:15.250 --> 01:10:17.750 of leadership, and their current leader is a cardboard cutout 1397 01:10:17.789 --> 01:10:20.789 that no one's ever seen in public. Yes, they have 1398 01:10:20.810 --> 01:10:23.550 the nuclear dust, but they have no meaningful ability to 1399 01:10:23.609 --> 01:10:27.520 produce a nuclear weapon. We have vastly degraded their terror proxies. 1400 01:10:27.619 --> 01:10:31.359 They haven't exported, Sid, a barrel of oil, not one 1401 01:10:31.520 --> 01:10:35.729 single barrel– since mid-July, and the United States Navy has 1402 01:10:36.329 --> 01:10:40.220 exported or assisted in the export of 750 million barrels 1403 01:10:40.260 --> 01:10:43.279 of oil through the Strait since this has all started. 1404 01:10:43.340 --> 01:10:47.500 By any meaningful historical metric, this is a defeated nation. 1405 01:10:48.340 --> 01:10:50.159 And so I do believe we've won, and I think 1406 01:10:50.199 --> 01:10:52.140 the president needs to tell the nation that we've won, 1407 01:10:52.159 --> 01:10:53.539 and I think he needs to be honest. We're going 1408 01:10:53.560 --> 01:10:56.000 to have to leave behind some naval assets. And we're 1409 01:10:56.020 --> 01:10:58.229 going to have to leave behind some surveillance. And bottom line, 1410 01:10:58.729 --> 01:11:00.789 we've won and we're going to take Israel off the 1411 01:11:00.829 --> 01:11:02.729 chain and let them do what they have to do 1412 01:11:02.850 --> 01:11:05.460 to keep these people in check. I think we've won. 1413 01:11:05.479 --> 01:11:08.859 And I think it will require eternal vigilance because they're 1414 01:11:08.899 --> 01:11:12.689 lunatics and religious fanatics. But I think by any meaningful 1415 01:11:12.720 --> 01:11:16.039 historical measurement, this is declared a victory right now for 1416 01:11:16.060 --> 01:11:16.640 the United States. 1417 01:11:16.699 --> 01:11:19.260 Okay, but you did say something there that KT says, 1418 01:11:19.300 --> 01:11:20.939 and I agree with you guys on, and that is 1419 01:11:20.979 --> 01:11:24.520 the president needs to say, because even the most ardent 1420 01:11:24.600 --> 01:11:26.159 of Trump supporters, and I'm one of them, I'm a 1421 01:11:26.180 --> 01:11:28.850 complete sycophant, okay? I'm just telling you, no matter what 1422 01:11:28.890 --> 01:11:31.329 he does, I love him. Even though I can be 1423 01:11:31.369 --> 01:11:33.510 critical at times, like about this war, I still love him. 1424 01:11:34.529 --> 01:11:39.430 But the messaging, the messaging has not been perfect, I 1425 01:11:39.470 --> 01:11:43.939 think is what some of his... most ardent supporters say. 1426 01:11:44.100 --> 01:11:45.180 Is that a fair criticism? 1427 01:11:46.630 --> 01:11:49.750 Yeah, look, I think that as this has gone on, 1428 01:11:49.770 --> 01:11:53.619 I think we need and needed constant reminders of why 1429 01:11:53.680 --> 01:11:55.020 we're doing this in the first place. 1430 01:11:55.079 --> 01:11:55.619 And I think. 1431 01:11:55.479 --> 01:11:59.300 Sometimes they've hit the mark. But sometimes we've lost sight 1432 01:11:59.319 --> 01:12:02.270 of that. I also, frankly, think we need more frequent 1433 01:12:02.310 --> 01:12:04.989 Pentagon briefings. At the beginning, we were getting frequent Pentagon 1434 01:12:05.010 --> 01:12:08.010 briefings about how our military was performing. I think we 1435 01:12:08.029 --> 01:12:10.630 lost sight of that, too, because I think people trust 1436 01:12:10.689 --> 01:12:12.630 and want to hear from the military about how we're doing. 1437 01:12:12.689 --> 01:12:15.350 Last night, Admiral Cooper, the head of CENTCOM, issued a video, 1438 01:12:15.810 --> 01:12:17.899 gave a great update about how the naval blockade is 1439 01:12:17.939 --> 01:12:20.800 working and how the Strait of Hormuz is currently working 1440 01:12:20.840 --> 01:12:23.220 and how we've taken out all the mines. We've swept 1441 01:12:23.279 --> 01:12:25.960 up all the mines. I mean, it was a great update, 1442 01:12:26.039 --> 01:12:28.760 and I think more of that, more transparency into just 1443 01:12:28.800 --> 01:12:31.600 exactly how we are winning would help his cause. 1444 01:12:31.619 --> 01:12:32.359 I agree with you on that. 1445 01:12:32.579 --> 01:12:32.880 All right. 1446 01:12:32.979 --> 01:12:35.010 Elephant in the room, Scott Jennings. You knew this was 1447 01:12:35.029 --> 01:12:38.369 going to happen at some point during this conversation. Are 1448 01:12:38.390 --> 01:12:39.770 you going to Vegas right now? By the way, are 1449 01:12:39.789 --> 01:12:40.850 you in the airport right now to go to Vegas? 1450 01:12:40.869 --> 01:12:40.970 I am. 1451 01:12:42.069 --> 01:12:44.979 I'm at LaGuardia right now, headed home to Tennessee and 1452 01:12:45.000 --> 01:12:46.520 then Kentucky for a couple of days. I'll see you 1453 01:12:46.539 --> 01:12:47.260 out there on Sunday. 1454 01:12:47.340 --> 01:12:50.520 Okay, on Sunday. Okay, going home to Tennessee. Everybody's moving 1455 01:12:50.560 --> 01:12:52.859 to Tennessee. I swear to God, everybody I talk to, 1456 01:12:53.100 --> 01:12:55.810 Raleigh Gaines, hey, I'm in Tennessee. Tommy Lahren, hey, I'm 1457 01:12:55.850 --> 01:12:59.510 in Tennessee. Clay Travis, hey, I'm in Tennessee. Everybody's moving 1458 01:12:59.550 --> 01:13:01.350 to Tennessee, and I love it there. Do you live 1459 01:13:01.390 --> 01:13:02.250 by the Grand Ole Opry? 1460 01:13:03.180 --> 01:13:04.180 No, I'm sorry. 1461 01:13:04.340 --> 01:13:08.060 I want to make clear. I live in Kentucky. I 1462 01:13:08.100 --> 01:13:10.460 have to make a pit stop in Knoxville because I'm 1463 01:13:10.520 --> 01:13:13.340 at a fundraiser tonight for a friend of mine in Knoxville. 1464 01:13:13.359 --> 01:13:17.100 But then I'm driving to Louisville. So eventually I'll get 1465 01:13:17.800 --> 01:13:18.880 back to my old Kentucky home. 1466 01:13:19.100 --> 01:13:21.380 I love Kentucky. It's a nice place. So last one. 1467 01:13:21.760 --> 01:13:25.239 Lots of rumors today is Caroline Levitt's last day that 1468 01:13:25.279 --> 01:13:28.090 you will be the next White House press secretary. If 1469 01:13:28.149 --> 01:13:31.399 it matters, I would tell Trump, you're the perfect guy 1470 01:13:31.420 --> 01:13:33.539 for the job. I know you're going to say, well, 1471 01:13:33.579 --> 01:13:36.399 you know, no one said that to me just yet, blah, blah, blah. 1472 01:13:36.420 --> 01:13:40.250 So I'll ask you an opinion question. Do you want 1473 01:13:40.289 --> 01:13:40.729 that job? 1474 01:13:42.539 --> 01:13:45.460 Well, I haven't made any comments about it publicly. I'm 1475 01:13:45.500 --> 01:13:47.640 sort of amused by all the conjecture, and I'm honored 1476 01:13:47.680 --> 01:13:50.060 by all the people who said that they think I 1477 01:13:50.100 --> 01:13:52.319 would be good at it. But to be honest, I 1478 01:13:52.899 --> 01:13:54.649 don't really have anything to say about it other than 1479 01:13:54.670 --> 01:13:57.789 I think Caroline Leavitt's been nothing short of brilliant, and 1480 01:13:57.829 --> 01:14:00.510 whoever takes that job next. has big shoes to fill. 1481 01:14:01.770 --> 01:14:04.789 And the president deserves someone who can give him a 1482 01:14:04.829 --> 01:14:07.390 positive and affirmative defense of what he's doing for the country, 1483 01:14:07.409 --> 01:14:09.729 which I think is a net positive. And I think 1484 01:14:09.750 --> 01:14:11.609 the last two years are going to be, they're going 1485 01:14:11.630 --> 01:14:13.289 to be after him. And he's going to have to 1486 01:14:13.310 --> 01:14:16.229 have somebody who's got thick skin and as tough as 1487 01:14:16.270 --> 01:14:16.890 nails up there. 1488 01:14:16.930 --> 01:14:17.670 So I don't know what. 1489 01:14:17.609 --> 01:14:19.979 He's going to do, but he's always had good instincts 1490 01:14:20.020 --> 01:14:22.560 about the press. He's his own best spokesperson and his 1491 01:14:22.600 --> 01:14:25.840 own best messenger, but he deserves a partner to fight 1492 01:14:25.880 --> 01:14:26.659 that battle every day. 1493 01:14:27.100 --> 01:14:30.869 You just made the best defense ever for yourself. I mean, 1494 01:14:31.109 --> 01:14:33.289 and God, I'm being serious because you're all those things. 1495 01:14:33.470 --> 01:14:36.449 You are perfect for this job. You're amazing. You're smart. 1496 01:14:36.729 --> 01:14:39.880 You're fearless. You'd be great for him. And if, God forbid, Scott, 1497 01:14:39.899 --> 01:14:42.359 we lose the midterms, like you just said, those last 1498 01:14:42.399 --> 01:14:44.340 two years, that's going to be brutal. 1499 01:14:44.640 --> 01:14:45.010 Brutal. 1500 01:14:45.930 --> 01:14:48.229 Oh, it will be bad. I lived through the last 1501 01:14:48.270 --> 01:14:51.489 two years when I worked for President Bush, after we 1502 01:14:51.529 --> 01:14:53.279 lost the 06 midterm, which was. 1503 01:14:53.199 --> 01:14:53.859 A brutal time. 1504 01:14:53.880 --> 01:14:56.239 It was awful, and I think it's going to be 1505 01:14:56.260 --> 01:14:59.159 that times 1,000. If God forbid they win, and by 1506 01:14:59.180 --> 01:15:00.779 the way, I'm not ready to concede yet. A lot 1507 01:15:00.800 --> 01:15:02.439 of people are out there talking negative. I'm not ready 1508 01:15:02.470 --> 01:15:04.050 to concede the election. I think we've got to fight 1509 01:15:04.069 --> 01:15:08.510 it out. But if, God forbid, they win, what they 1510 01:15:08.550 --> 01:15:11.170 try to do to this president and his cabinet and 1511 01:15:11.210 --> 01:15:13.930 anybody who's ever been within 250 feet of him, it's 1512 01:15:13.949 --> 01:15:15.909 going to be an abomination. Look what they're doing to 1513 01:15:16.430 --> 01:15:20.770 his assistant, Natalie Harp. I mean, you think about the 1514 01:15:20.869 --> 01:15:24.069 absolute lack of respect they have for people who have 1515 01:15:24.090 --> 01:15:27.380 gone to serve our country like Natalie, but they will 1516 01:15:27.420 --> 01:15:31.439 be– They will do things we couldn't even conjure up 1517 01:15:31.479 --> 01:15:35.399 here on the radio today to try to destroy this 1518 01:15:35.460 --> 01:15:38.420 man and his presidency and anybody who helped him. And 1519 01:15:38.680 --> 01:15:41.199 he's going to need all the lawyers and press help 1520 01:15:41.239 --> 01:15:42.920 he can get to fight him off. But I'm sure 1521 01:15:42.960 --> 01:15:44.819 he'll have it. But that is what awaits him if 1522 01:15:44.859 --> 01:15:46.029 this election doesn't go well. 1523 01:15:46.289 --> 01:15:49.189 My God. Scott Jennings, just amazing. Have a safe trip 1524 01:15:49.229 --> 01:15:52.289 to Tennessee and Kentucky. Can't wait to see you in Vegas. 1525 01:15:52.470 --> 01:15:55.390 You truly are amazing. Thank you, Scott Jennings. 1526 01:15:56.180 --> 01:15:56.810 Thanks for having me on. 1527 01:15:56.819 --> 01:15:57.720 I look forward to seeing you, Sid. 1528 01:15:57.739 --> 01:15:57.960 Take care. 1529 01:15:57.979 --> 01:16:00.939 Me too, buddy. Take care. Scott Jennings right there, CNN. 1530 01:16:01.340 --> 01:16:03.520 For the second straight year, we will speak together in 1531 01:16:03.560 --> 01:16:07.029 Las Vegas. Coming up this weekend, making his debut, and 1532 01:16:07.069 --> 01:16:08.890 a great one, on Sid and Friends in the Morning. 1533 01:16:09.189 --> 01:16:12.050 I mentioned KT McFarlane. I think she heard that whole 1534 01:16:12.069 --> 01:16:15.189 thing on hold. Interested to get her opinion. The great 1535 01:16:15.229 --> 01:16:17.220 KT McFarlane. She's coming up next. 1536 01:16:17.939 --> 01:16:21.460 Sid and Friends in the Morning on the Red Apple 1537 01:16:21.579 --> 01:16:22.560 Podcast Network. 1538 01:16:23.710 --> 01:16:26.810 Moments ago, Katie, I know you heard every word from Scott. 1539 01:16:26.829 --> 01:16:27.270 What did you think? 1540 01:16:28.569 --> 01:16:32.270 He's terrific. You know, he can talk about American politics. 1541 01:16:32.310 --> 01:16:34.960 He can talk about New York. He can talk about 1542 01:16:35.020 --> 01:16:38.840 national security, foreign policy, Iran. He's got an amazing range. 1543 01:16:39.319 --> 01:16:41.880 And he's very, very, very well informed. But he's a 1544 01:16:41.899 --> 01:16:42.859 heck of a nice guy. 1545 01:16:42.960 --> 01:16:45.260 He's a great guy. He really is. We've been together 1546 01:16:45.279 --> 01:16:47.890 on a couple of occasions. We'll be together this weekend, 1547 01:16:47.930 --> 01:16:49.909 this Sunday in Las Vegas, speaking at the RJC Can't 1548 01:16:49.930 --> 01:16:52.460 Wait conference. And I'm a big fan of his, and 1549 01:16:52.479 --> 01:16:56.479 I do think he'd be great in that Caroline Leavitt position, 1550 01:16:57.079 --> 01:17:00.479 the White House spokesperson, press secretary, I should say. What 1551 01:17:00.500 --> 01:17:00.920 do you think? 1552 01:17:02.640 --> 01:17:05.600 He would be great, but I'd rather see him do 1553 01:17:05.659 --> 01:17:07.520 what he does, which is go out there and make 1554 01:17:07.560 --> 01:17:09.439 the case for the president. You know, you and I 1555 01:17:09.439 --> 01:17:11.140 have talked about this before. I think that one of 1556 01:17:11.180 --> 01:17:14.060 the only things I would criticize President Trump for is 1557 01:17:14.100 --> 01:17:16.220 they don't make the case to the American people enough. 1558 01:17:16.579 --> 01:17:18.520 He assumes, I mean, because he's so smart, he's like 1559 01:17:18.520 --> 01:17:21.729 10 steps ahead. He assumes everybody already knows what he knows, 1560 01:17:22.270 --> 01:17:25.409 and they don't. And it's worth making the case. And 1561 01:17:25.569 --> 01:17:29.029 if you've got somebody in the press spokesman's job, he's 1562 01:17:29.069 --> 01:17:31.989 doing what he's doing. He's defending the president. She's defending 1563 01:17:32.010 --> 01:17:34.649 the president at every single step. But there's nobody out 1564 01:17:34.689 --> 01:17:40.449 there in the media world strapping on the armor and 1565 01:17:40.489 --> 01:17:43.279 going against it because that's the biggest threat is the 1566 01:17:43.340 --> 01:17:48.420 media and their constant Trump derangement syndrome. where they discount 1567 01:17:48.560 --> 01:17:52.220 everything that President Trump is doing that's good, and they, 1568 01:17:52.380 --> 01:17:54.539 I don't know, find some fault in it. So I 1569 01:17:54.600 --> 01:17:56.899 kind of like the idea that Scott Jennings is out 1570 01:17:56.920 --> 01:17:59.420 there every day strapping on the armor and going on 1571 01:17:59.460 --> 01:18:02.229 CNN and every place else making the case. 1572 01:18:02.850 --> 01:18:04.670 No, I understand that. In fact, when I've talked to 1573 01:18:04.710 --> 01:18:07.449 people about running for office, people that really think I should, 1574 01:18:07.470 --> 01:18:09.189 you know, because most people don't, they would have a fine. 1575 01:18:09.630 --> 01:18:11.710 But people that really think I should, they go, you know, 1576 01:18:11.729 --> 01:18:13.939 but the more I think about it, Sid, I need 1577 01:18:13.960 --> 01:18:15.819 you doing what you're doing, whether it's on radio or 1578 01:18:15.859 --> 01:18:18.199 a podcast in the future. It doesn't matter. We need 1579 01:18:18.220 --> 01:18:21.710 you out there defending President Trump, defending New York's values, 1580 01:18:21.750 --> 01:18:25.329 defending America's values. And they've even said to me, Sid, 1581 01:18:25.489 --> 01:18:28.520 to your point just now, KT, you're more valuable than 1582 01:18:28.899 --> 01:18:32.920 When you're doing that, right, rather than arguing with the 1583 01:18:33.140 --> 01:18:37.560 city council or the Albany legislature or the governor. So 1584 01:18:37.600 --> 01:18:40.489 I've heard that from people about my future, too, that 1585 01:18:40.529 --> 01:18:43.350 people like Scott, like myself, like you, we need us 1586 01:18:43.569 --> 01:18:47.310 out there because without us, we're already outnumbered. We're outnumbered 1587 01:18:47.329 --> 01:18:49.970 in a big way. Without us, we're really in trouble. 1588 01:18:52.399 --> 01:18:52.680 Yeah. 1589 01:18:52.840 --> 01:18:56.270 And I think that's why, you know, again, Scott, you, myself, 1590 01:18:56.289 --> 01:18:59.090 a number of others going out there and taking the case, 1591 01:18:59.149 --> 01:19:03.069 including with hostile interviews. And I go on some places, 1592 01:19:03.229 --> 01:19:05.949 especially the BBC and others, where they just they'll be 1593 01:19:05.970 --> 01:19:09.399 like five people screaming at me that I keep making 1594 01:19:09.409 --> 01:19:11.680 the case five. That's fine. I can hand five to one. 1595 01:19:12.520 --> 01:19:14.760 But but you got to make the case, because if 1596 01:19:14.800 --> 01:19:17.039 you don't if you don't show up and make the case, 1597 01:19:17.659 --> 01:19:21.590 then the left really owns that narrative. And we're a democracy, 1598 01:19:21.729 --> 01:19:23.369 so you have to win hearts and minds of the 1599 01:19:23.430 --> 01:19:26.510 American people. And if the American people are only listening 1600 01:19:26.949 --> 01:19:29.989 and hearing one side of an argument, well, it's tough 1601 01:19:30.010 --> 01:19:32.569 to then make your own case. I think that it's 1602 01:19:32.630 --> 01:19:37.140 important to do that national service of making the case 1603 01:19:37.239 --> 01:19:40.199 and getting into, you know, making your point, making your 1604 01:19:40.220 --> 01:19:44.539 case in face of just enemy fire. And that's what 1605 01:19:44.600 --> 01:19:46.920 Scott is so good at doing. He does it with 1606 01:19:46.939 --> 01:19:49.319 a very nice sense and a light touch. 1607 01:19:49.960 --> 01:19:52.210 And how he does it. I would go nuts there 1608 01:19:52.289 --> 01:19:53.789 on Abby Phillips and CNN. 1609 01:19:53.829 --> 01:19:54.279 He does it. 1610 01:19:54.289 --> 01:19:56.710 He doesn't even raise his voice most of the time. 1611 01:19:56.770 --> 01:19:59.850 He's got that Kentucky drawl going, and he's a better 1612 01:19:59.869 --> 01:20:02.489 man than me, because I would lose. I'd start throwing stuff. 1613 01:20:02.529 --> 01:20:07.439 I really would. But, you know, listen, you and I 1614 01:20:07.479 --> 01:20:09.340 have gone back and forth on this show. It's not 1615 01:20:09.439 --> 01:20:11.300 enemy fire. We're on the same team, and I love you, 1616 01:20:11.659 --> 01:20:13.960 but we've had a couple of disagreements, and For what 1617 01:20:14.000 --> 01:20:17.979 it's worth, especially on Iran, man, if I play back 1618 01:20:18.020 --> 01:20:21.510 the Scott Jennings tape of moments ago, that's you. He 1619 01:20:21.560 --> 01:20:24.310 said exactly what you've been saying on this show for 1620 01:20:24.329 --> 01:20:26.470 the better part of three months. We've already won. I mean, 1621 01:20:26.850 --> 01:20:32.819 down to your exact reasons why he had the same 1622 01:20:32.880 --> 01:20:33.560 exact reasons. 1623 01:20:35.479 --> 01:20:39.380 Well, I guess he's listening too, isn't he? No, look, 1624 01:20:39.880 --> 01:20:42.619 we have already won. And whether Iran goes to a 1625 01:20:42.640 --> 01:20:47.899 negotiating table and signs a form and acquiesces and unbended knee, 1626 01:20:47.979 --> 01:20:50.909 that's probably not ever going to happen. But the objective 1627 01:20:50.949 --> 01:20:54.229 reality is Iran is finished. And the Strait of Hormuz, 1628 01:20:54.250 --> 01:20:57.090 which they have used for 47 years to blackmail the world, 1629 01:20:57.840 --> 01:21:00.960 That's gone as a threat because they overplayed their hand 1630 01:21:01.439 --> 01:21:05.590 by closing the strait, by mining the strait, by threatening 1631 01:21:05.810 --> 01:21:09.449 yet again the world economy. What's happened is that because 1632 01:21:09.470 --> 01:21:12.869 the U.S. armada is there, we can blockade Iran completely. 1633 01:21:13.550 --> 01:21:16.949 And so ships are getting through. We've been able to 1634 01:21:17.050 --> 01:21:20.329 clear now all the mines in the Strait of Hormuz. 1635 01:21:20.350 --> 01:21:23.220 So the only thing that Iran can do to block 1636 01:21:23.300 --> 01:21:26.020 trade at this point is a couple of shoulder-fired missiles. 1637 01:21:26.829 --> 01:21:30.229 you know, on one or two guys. The mines are gone. 1638 01:21:30.789 --> 01:21:34.569 The strait is open. Oil is moving. But because Iran 1639 01:21:34.649 --> 01:21:38.939 overplayed its hand, countries in the region had started doing workarounds. 1640 01:21:38.979 --> 01:21:42.680 They started beefing up and full steam ahead and, you know, 1641 01:21:42.720 --> 01:21:47.739 Manhattan Project doing new pipelines. So more and more oil 1642 01:21:47.800 --> 01:21:50.439 is now going to move by pipelines today. And then 1643 01:21:50.500 --> 01:21:52.819 two years from now, three years from now, Almost all 1644 01:21:52.850 --> 01:21:55.489 of it's going to move by pipeline. And then some 1645 01:21:55.529 --> 01:21:57.750 of the slack that used to come from the Middle 1646 01:21:57.810 --> 01:22:01.029 East oil has been picked up by American oil. The 1647 01:22:01.109 --> 01:22:04.390 countries are sending empty tankers to the Gulf of America 1648 01:22:04.550 --> 01:22:08.210 to get filled up instead of the Persian Gulf. So 1649 01:22:08.229 --> 01:22:10.930 it's stupid around. They overplayed their hand. They overplayed their 1650 01:22:10.949 --> 01:22:12.689 hand in a lot of ways. And they're coming out 1651 01:22:12.729 --> 01:22:16.569 of this not only broke at home, but much, much, 1652 01:22:16.689 --> 01:22:19.369 much weaker in the sense of the power they could 1653 01:22:19.449 --> 01:22:21.529 use to threaten the world. And I think it only 1654 01:22:21.569 --> 01:22:26.409 reinforces the necessity that President Trump took the move to 1655 01:22:26.449 --> 01:22:29.369 destroy their nuclear program because they threatened the world for 1656 01:22:29.369 --> 01:22:32.680 50 years with Can you imagine if they actually had 1657 01:22:33.239 --> 01:22:33.779 nuclear weapons? 1658 01:22:33.800 --> 01:22:34.500 No, God, no. 1659 01:22:34.520 --> 01:22:35.439 They would threaten the world. 1660 01:22:35.539 --> 01:22:37.239 No, they wouldn't threaten it. Use it. Israel will be 1661 01:22:37.300 --> 01:22:38.020 off the map by now. 1662 01:22:38.039 --> 01:22:38.279 Use it. 1663 01:22:38.319 --> 01:22:39.060 Yeah, of course. 1664 01:22:39.140 --> 01:22:39.439 Absolutely. 1665 01:22:39.460 --> 01:22:41.739 You know, I had a very interesting conversation yesterday on 1666 01:22:41.770 --> 01:22:43.670 the show with Gordon Chang. And, you know, he's Mr. 1667 01:22:43.689 --> 01:22:43.989 China. 1668 01:22:44.590 --> 01:22:46.649 And, you know, we're talking about Iran today. We're talking 1669 01:22:46.689 --> 01:22:48.729 about Canada today. Some think that Trump is going to 1670 01:22:48.750 --> 01:22:51.130 look out of the way like America. I don't care. 1671 01:22:51.189 --> 01:22:53.229 I don't care. I don't care. He wants to rename 1672 01:22:53.270 --> 01:22:54.189 a body of water. 1673 01:22:55.199 --> 01:22:57.039 I think he gets up at three o'clock in the morning. 1674 01:22:57.590 --> 01:23:00.930 And then he just sort of, like, a little twinkle 1675 01:23:00.949 --> 01:23:02.720 in his eye, and he thinks, how am I going 1676 01:23:02.739 --> 01:23:05.600 to get those girls on The View really mad today? 1677 01:23:05.619 --> 01:23:05.960 Right. 1678 01:23:06.060 --> 01:23:09.260 How am I going to get everybody, you know, riled up? 1679 01:23:09.579 --> 01:23:12.050 And then he comes up with, you know, Gulf of America, 1680 01:23:12.090 --> 01:23:16.430 let's take Greenland, Canada, 51st State, and now Lake America. 1681 01:23:16.449 --> 01:23:18.149 Let's just piss him off. So I know he does 1682 01:23:18.229 --> 01:23:21.579 all that. But we're talking about China and look, they're 1683 01:23:21.600 --> 01:23:24.260 the ones that we should still be worried about. Okay. 1684 01:23:24.359 --> 01:23:26.460 At the end of the day, it ain't Iran. It 1685 01:23:26.479 --> 01:23:30.250 ain't Canada. It's not Venezuela, Cuba or Russia. It's China. 1686 01:23:30.529 --> 01:23:33.270 But you're talking about how we weakened Iran so much. 1687 01:23:33.810 --> 01:23:37.470 And the conversation with Gordon yesterday was China, not the 1688 01:23:37.510 --> 01:23:40.659 same either. Now, look, they're still doing pretty well in 1689 01:23:40.680 --> 01:23:44.619 the AI race. There's no doubt about it. But look, 1690 01:23:44.640 --> 01:23:47.699 they got to get their oil from Iran. Their economy 1691 01:23:47.960 --> 01:23:52.350 is not exactly great. The people there are losing confidence 1692 01:23:52.489 --> 01:23:56.909 in their leader. So while Iran is always the subject 1693 01:23:56.949 --> 01:24:00.989 of the conversation, Iran can't do anything, right? They never 1694 01:24:01.050 --> 01:24:05.579 were able to fund all those terror proxies, Hezbollah, the Houthis, 1695 01:24:05.739 --> 01:24:09.939 and Hamas, any of that without China. Some say China 1696 01:24:10.060 --> 01:24:13.840 is still, through the Caspian Sea, providing weapons. Some say 1697 01:24:13.899 --> 01:24:17.829 China is still having Arab countries get money to Iran. 1698 01:24:17.949 --> 01:24:18.850 I don't know if any of that is true. 1699 01:24:19.170 --> 01:24:19.770 All I know is. 1700 01:24:20.310 --> 01:24:24.470 China still remains our biggest issue in the world today. Yes? 1701 01:24:24.470 --> 01:24:25.829 100%. 1702 01:24:25.829 --> 01:24:30.119 And the AI race will determine the future of the world. 1703 01:24:30.140 --> 01:24:34.579 Whoever gets AI first, it's a transformative technology. Whoever gets 1704 01:24:34.640 --> 01:24:38.239 there first is going to dominate. I mean, dominate like 1705 01:24:38.300 --> 01:24:42.310 superpower dominate. Soul superpower dominate the world for at least 1706 01:24:42.390 --> 01:24:45.590 a generation. And that's why the race with China over 1707 01:24:45.689 --> 01:24:47.930 AI is so important. So it's really important for us 1708 01:24:47.970 --> 01:24:51.369 to continue to invest in it. to allow innovation, to 1709 01:24:51.390 --> 01:24:54.649 allow data centers, et cetera. And it's also important for 1710 01:24:54.689 --> 01:24:57.050 us to control the world energy supply because what does 1711 01:24:57.109 --> 01:25:00.529 China not have? Energy. They're one of the most energy-poor 1712 01:25:00.590 --> 01:25:02.989 countries in the world. They have to import their energy. 1713 01:25:03.390 --> 01:25:06.260 And if the United States, as I've said in President Trump, 1714 01:25:07.739 --> 01:25:11.140 his brilliant idea of making the United States the world's 1715 01:25:11.600 --> 01:25:14.479 dominant energy power, in other words, not only do we 1716 01:25:14.600 --> 01:25:20.109 export the most oil, natural gas, LNG products, crude, refined oil. 1717 01:25:20.810 --> 01:25:25.439 We also have ownership or great influence over a lot 1718 01:25:25.460 --> 01:25:27.199 of the rest of the world's oil, whether it's coming 1719 01:25:27.220 --> 01:25:30.539 from Venezuela, the United Arab Emirates, et cetera. So we 1720 01:25:30.579 --> 01:25:33.520 can dominate the world energy supply. And then when we 1721 01:25:33.560 --> 01:25:38.600 dominate the world AI technology, we're way ahead of everybody 1722 01:25:38.619 --> 01:25:40.600 because China still has to import its oil. I think 1723 01:25:40.619 --> 01:25:43.890 when President Trump meets with President Xi next month, one 1724 01:25:43.909 --> 01:25:47.979 of the conversations should be, Hey, Mr. President of China, 1725 01:25:48.039 --> 01:25:49.300 why don't you buy American oil? 1726 01:25:51.899 --> 01:25:53.680 I'd love to get a camera on the president of 1727 01:25:53.699 --> 01:25:56.680 China's face when Trump says that, because he's very friendly 1728 01:25:56.720 --> 01:25:59.350 when Trump is there. He says nice things. He does 1729 01:25:59.399 --> 01:26:01.430 nice things. Somebody gives Trump a chair for a midget. 1730 01:26:01.899 --> 01:26:04.810 But he he doesn't like us. Not even a little bit. 1731 01:26:04.829 --> 01:26:07.229 Let's be honest. OK, let me go back to Canada 1732 01:26:07.250 --> 01:26:09.090 for a second, though, because this is quite the story. 1733 01:26:09.409 --> 01:26:12.800 You heard about this. The CBC News. So the director 1734 01:26:12.819 --> 01:26:16.649 of journalism tells a journalist there that you cannot refer 1735 01:26:16.689 --> 01:26:20.369 to September the 11th as terrorist attacks. They don't want 1736 01:26:20.390 --> 01:26:26.489 the words terrorism or terrorist attacks even used. Think about this. 1737 01:26:26.729 --> 01:26:29.989 They sent out a memo and it said, don't use 1738 01:26:30.029 --> 01:26:35.220 those words. Instead, describe the events as as hijackings that 1739 01:26:35.279 --> 01:26:40.920 led to passenger jet crashes in Washington, Pennsylvania, and Manhattan. 1740 01:26:41.020 --> 01:26:45.060 And oh yeah, the World Trade Center was also destroyed. 1741 01:26:45.699 --> 01:26:48.779 They will not allow their journalists to use the words 1742 01:26:49.500 --> 01:26:53.180 terrorist or terrorism attack Canada. Is that unbelievable? 1743 01:26:54.689 --> 01:26:58.130 Yeah, especially because after September 11th, one of the first 1744 01:26:58.189 --> 01:27:02.680 countries that tried to help America was Canada. where they 1745 01:27:02.880 --> 01:27:06.210 sent the thing that when President Bush was asked, well, 1746 01:27:06.310 --> 01:27:08.069 how can we help you? He said, well, you know, 1747 01:27:08.090 --> 01:27:11.229 send people to come to America. You know, we're open 1748 01:27:11.250 --> 01:27:13.750 for business again. And Canada was one of the first 1749 01:27:13.789 --> 01:27:16.930 that filled that void. The other thing that is just 1750 01:27:17.010 --> 01:27:18.989 stunning to me is I spent, I don't know if 1751 01:27:19.010 --> 01:27:20.949 I ever told you this, but when I did my 1752 01:27:20.979 --> 01:27:24.479 graduate degree at Oxford, I studied communism and Lenin and Marx. 1753 01:27:24.579 --> 01:27:28.020 And how do you take over countries? You know, what 1754 01:27:28.039 --> 01:27:31.880 was their blueprint? And it was always to rewrite history. 1755 01:27:32.489 --> 01:27:36.260 The first thing you did was to rewrite history, you know, 1756 01:27:36.399 --> 01:27:40.399 whitewash history so that the countries and people didn't feel 1757 01:27:40.539 --> 01:27:45.920 proud or acknowledge the sacrifices that their people made in history. 1758 01:27:45.960 --> 01:27:48.239 And you rewrite it so that instead of being heroes, 1759 01:27:49.020 --> 01:27:51.199 the people who respond, they become villains. 1760 01:27:51.319 --> 01:27:51.619 Right. 1761 01:27:51.810 --> 01:27:54.210 And that's exactly what they're doing. This is the rewriting 1762 01:27:54.250 --> 01:27:54.689 of history. 1763 01:27:55.439 --> 01:27:57.270 Well, a guy used to be a friend of mine. 1764 01:27:57.279 --> 01:27:59.470 He's not a friend any longer, but that's really on him, 1765 01:27:59.510 --> 01:28:04.029 not me. We wrote history yesterday. You got to hear this. 1766 01:28:04.729 --> 01:28:09.250 Former mayoral candidate, former WABC talk show host, and a 1767 01:28:09.289 --> 01:28:11.329 damn good one. I'll give him credit for that. Curtis 1768 01:28:11.409 --> 01:28:15.600 Sliwa talking about rewriting history, KT McFarlane. This one you 1769 01:28:15.640 --> 01:28:19.239 can't make up. The guy's name is Adam Friedland. He 1770 01:28:19.260 --> 01:28:23.479 does a podcast. Curtis was on his show yesterday. And 1771 01:28:23.520 --> 01:28:26.699 you tell me if Curtis did not, I should say, 1772 01:28:27.039 --> 01:28:29.640 as you just said, rewrite history. 1773 01:28:29.659 --> 01:28:31.659 Does it piss you off when people try to s 1774 01:28:31.630 --> 01:28:35.010 * * * on Columbus? Like Native Americans and stuff? 1775 01:28:36.270 --> 01:28:37.550 Christopher Columbus, right? 1776 01:28:37.569 --> 01:28:37.890 Yeah, yeah. 1777 01:28:38.270 --> 01:28:41.079 He was a degenerate. He had his problems. 1778 01:28:41.319 --> 01:28:41.699 Yeah, yeah. 1779 01:28:41.720 --> 01:28:43.300 He had his eccentricities. 1780 01:28:43.340 --> 01:28:43.600 Yeah. 1781 01:28:44.140 --> 01:28:45.869 He was Jewish. Did you know that? 1782 01:28:46.050 --> 01:28:47.470 It's actually fake. 1783 01:28:47.689 --> 01:28:48.090 No, no. 1784 01:28:48.130 --> 01:28:49.659 They try to say he's Jewish, but he's not. 1785 01:28:49.689 --> 01:28:52.079 No, he had a brush. Trust me. He had to 1786 01:28:52.100 --> 01:28:54.119 drop his drawers to prove that. He had a brisk. 1787 01:28:54.149 --> 01:28:54.350 Come on. 1788 01:28:54.359 --> 01:28:55.430 Some people just like that style. 1789 01:28:55.449 --> 01:28:56.210 You know, back then. 1790 01:28:56.229 --> 01:28:57.390 People like a hoodless style. 1791 01:28:57.409 --> 01:28:59.310 You know, why do you think he had to escape 1792 01:28:59.409 --> 01:29:01.949 Spain in 1492? He was doing it on behalf of. 1793 01:29:01.989 --> 01:29:06.439 When Queen Isabella and King Ferdinand launched the Inquisition on 1794 01:29:06.449 --> 01:29:09.039 your people and said he would convert or die. And 1795 01:29:09.060 --> 01:29:12.039 he decided to leave with the Nina, the Pinta, the Santa, 1796 01:29:12.119 --> 01:29:12.699 and the Maria. 1797 01:29:12.760 --> 01:29:12.920 Yeah. 1798 01:29:12.939 --> 01:29:14.840 Well, there's three, actually. The Santa Maria. 1799 01:29:15.020 --> 01:29:15.279 No, no. 1800 01:29:15.319 --> 01:29:16.720 You're wrong. No, no, Santa Maria was the third one. 1801 01:29:16.739 --> 01:29:19.340 The Nina, the Pinta, the Santa, and the Maria. 1802 01:29:19.420 --> 01:29:21.539 The Nina, the Pinta, and the Santa Maria. 1803 01:29:21.579 --> 01:29:24.090 That's right. Four of the ships. Three of them made it. 1804 01:29:24.319 --> 01:29:24.590 Yeah. 1805 01:29:25.149 --> 01:29:25.829 As he went. 1806 01:29:26.029 --> 01:29:28.289 Oh, so he called one the Santa Maria after one lot. 1807 01:29:29.170 --> 01:29:29.989 You combine the names? 1808 01:29:31.470 --> 01:29:31.970 Excuse me? 1809 01:29:32.090 --> 01:29:32.369 Nothing. 1810 01:29:33.510 --> 01:29:33.770 Oh, God. 1811 01:29:33.829 --> 01:29:36.390 Are you trying to instruct me on the hero of 1812 01:29:36.449 --> 01:29:38.029 my peeps, Christopher Columbus? 1813 01:29:38.069 --> 01:29:40.670 I thought you, so you're Jewish. No, he is Jewish. 1814 01:29:41.680 --> 01:29:43.859 Okay, so I had to go back and look because 1815 01:29:43.930 --> 01:29:45.779 I trust Curtis so much. I go, wait a second. 1816 01:29:46.090 --> 01:29:48.770 I was under the impression it was three boats. The Nina, 1817 01:29:49.130 --> 01:29:52.210 the Pinta, and the Santa Maria. And everything I read 1818 01:29:52.289 --> 01:29:56.050 said it was not four boats. It was three boats. 1819 01:29:56.090 --> 01:29:59.529 So the question is, because you're Italian, KT, did Curtis 1820 01:29:59.710 --> 01:30:00.789 rewrite history there? 1821 01:30:02.949 --> 01:30:09.920 I think Curtis has jumped the shark. He has. I mean, A, 1822 01:30:09.960 --> 01:30:15.529 rewriting history. Christopher Columbus is Jewish. I mean, he's, I think, yeah, 1823 01:30:15.590 --> 01:30:18.710 he's going to some strange place. And that's a shame. 1824 01:30:18.869 --> 01:30:19.069 Yeah. 1825 01:30:19.130 --> 01:30:21.289 Because he did do great things for the country and 1826 01:30:21.310 --> 01:30:21.689 New York. 1827 01:30:21.869 --> 01:30:22.170 He did. 1828 01:30:22.229 --> 01:30:23.170 Decades ago. 1829 01:30:23.329 --> 01:30:23.569 Yes. 1830 01:30:23.649 --> 01:30:24.750 That was a long time ago. 1831 01:30:24.850 --> 01:30:25.470 It's over, right? 1832 01:30:25.510 --> 01:30:25.890 That's it. 1833 01:30:27.029 --> 01:30:29.710 Now he belongs in maybe a room with Lindsay Clancy. 1834 01:30:29.729 --> 01:30:29.829 Yes. 1835 01:30:31.390 --> 01:30:33.250 And that's not a funny story. That's a horrible story. 1836 01:30:33.270 --> 01:30:35.649 She killed her three kids. But, you know, we're going 1837 01:30:35.670 --> 01:30:39.949 to find out, I guess. There's definitely five different verdict 1838 01:30:40.029 --> 01:30:43.109 possibilities in this case. And we're going to find out. 1839 01:30:43.149 --> 01:30:45.630 Me personally, I don't think she's evil. I think she 1840 01:30:45.670 --> 01:30:47.430 did an evil thing. And I think that she should 1841 01:30:47.470 --> 01:30:50.109 never see daylight again. But I would put her in 1842 01:30:50.220 --> 01:30:53.800 a mental institution and not a maximum security prison. Do 1843 01:30:53.819 --> 01:30:57.279 you have any, as a great mom and grandmother, any 1844 01:30:57.340 --> 01:30:58.119 opinion on that case? 1845 01:30:59.369 --> 01:31:02.250 Your heart breaks. Your heart breaks for every one of 1846 01:31:02.289 --> 01:31:05.710 those five, you know, outcomes and conclusions that you talked about. 1847 01:31:06.250 --> 01:31:09.020 Your heart just breaks. And for me at that point, 1848 01:31:09.060 --> 01:31:11.819 I just think you turn to prayer and you don't 1849 01:31:12.100 --> 01:31:14.079 rail at God. You just turn to prayer. 1850 01:31:14.199 --> 01:31:16.579 Yeah, that's a good idea. KT, you're such a sweet 1851 01:31:16.619 --> 01:31:18.220 and beautiful and smart lady. You know, I love you 1852 01:31:18.260 --> 01:31:19.390 so much. Thank you so much. 1853 01:31:20.609 --> 01:31:21.109 Thank you. 1854 01:31:21.409 --> 01:31:24.250 You're the best.

He defends me on 1873 01:32:16.619 --> 01:32:19.550 CNN every now and then, which is very, very nice. 1874 01:32:20.750 --> 01:32:25.250 And we've spoken a bunch of times. We co-hosted the 1875 01:32:25.409 --> 01:32:28.529 One Israel Fun Dinner back in the fall of last year. 1876 01:32:28.569 --> 01:32:31.640 That was amazing at Chelsea Piers. But he's never been 1877 01:32:31.720 --> 01:32:34.619 on before today. So he is one of the big 1878 01:32:34.680 --> 01:32:38.579 names that will be at the RJC in Vegas this weekend. 1879 01:32:38.640 --> 01:32:41.300 So Matt Brooks and Norm Coleman made sure he stopped 1880 01:32:41.319 --> 01:32:44.409 by today. Another very big name that's going to be there, 1881 01:32:45.029 --> 01:32:47.590 and I think I'll have some time to have a 1882 01:32:47.590 --> 01:32:51.050 little one-on-one with him, is the vice president, J.D. Vance. 1883 01:32:51.810 --> 01:32:55.829 That's Monday, so we'll see if that comes to fruition. J.D. 1884 01:32:55.869 --> 01:32:59.949 going to be here come 9-11 because President Trump is not. 1885 01:33:00.390 --> 01:33:03.590 We found out today or yesterday that President Trump will 1886 01:33:03.609 --> 01:33:08.010 be at the Pentagon in Washington, D.C., paying his respects. J.D. 1887 01:33:08.050 --> 01:33:12.729 Vance will be here, as will the mayor. Of New 1888 01:33:12.770 --> 01:33:15.970 York City. Mamdani. I just. I don't know what to 1889 01:33:16.010 --> 01:33:17.880 say to. Giovanni Galante. 1890 01:33:17.949 --> 01:33:18.069 And. 1891 01:33:18.899 --> 01:33:19.840 Charles Wolfe. 1892 01:33:19.920 --> 01:33:20.039 And. 1893 01:33:21.180 --> 01:33:26.420 Jeanette Pick. Even. Some of these politicians. Like. Joanne Areola. 1894 01:33:26.439 --> 01:33:28.300 She's been fighting. Very very hard. 1895 01:33:28.359 --> 01:33:28.460 And. 1896 01:33:29.119 --> 01:33:31.909 Her girl there. Phyllis Insurella. I don't know what to say. 1897 01:33:32.210 --> 01:33:32.470 You know. 1898 01:33:32.609 --> 01:33:32.789 Just. 1899 01:33:33.380 --> 01:33:36.479 We've been trying. We've got this petition going. I think 1900 01:33:36.520 --> 01:33:40.930 it's over 90,000 strong. Even Scott Lobato from a hospital bed. 1901 01:33:40.949 --> 01:33:45.390 He had the plane that flew overhead that said, stay away. 1902 01:33:45.430 --> 01:33:48.609 This guy, he just had a heart attack. So there 1903 01:33:48.649 --> 01:33:53.199 are so many New Yorkers. I know that I played 1904 01:33:53.220 --> 01:33:54.979 it earlier. I'm going to play it again because it's 1905 01:33:55.399 --> 01:34:03.060 so ridiculous. Channel 7, ABC News. The word that Sade Baranwad, 1906 01:34:03.119 --> 01:34:06.260 nice lady, very pretty, very good. The word that she 1907 01:34:06.520 --> 01:34:10.380 used to describe the amount of families that don't want 1908 01:34:10.420 --> 01:34:15.229 him here is just incorrect. They got to stop running 1909 01:34:15.609 --> 01:34:21.090 cover for this creep. Channel 2, Channel 4, Channel 5, 1910 01:34:21.090 --> 01:34:25.970 Channel 7, 9, 11, every cable network outside of Fox News, Newsmax. 1911 01:34:26.390 --> 01:34:32.520 Stop running cover for this creep. Melissa Russo, Marsha Kramer, 1912 01:34:32.859 --> 01:34:37.600 Katie Honan, and in this case, Sade Baranwad. Take a listen. 1913 01:34:38.039 --> 01:34:42.050 She talks about The families that are upset that the 1914 01:34:42.090 --> 01:34:45.850 mayor is coming. But listen to the word she uses 1915 01:34:46.210 --> 01:34:49.270 to describe how many. This is cut number two. 1916 01:34:49.409 --> 01:34:53.180 President Trump is not expected to attend this year's 9-11 1917 01:34:53.239 --> 01:34:57.500 ceremonies at the September 11th memorial in lower Manhattan. Instead, 1918 01:34:57.560 --> 01:35:01.380 he's expected to commemorate the 25th anniversary at the Pentagon 1919 01:35:01.680 --> 01:35:05.659 where he'll deliver remarks. Vice President J.D. Vance will represent 1920 01:35:05.699 --> 01:35:10.050 the Trump administration in Lower Manhattan. Mayor Mamdani will also attend, 1921 01:35:10.109 --> 01:35:13.449 despite the wishes of select 9-11 family members. 1922 01:35:13.989 --> 01:35:18.060 Select? Sorry, sweetheart. It's a lot more than select. It's 1923 01:35:18.100 --> 01:35:20.560 the majority. It may be the overwhelming majority. What do 1924 01:35:20.579 --> 01:35:26.430 you mean select? They run cover for this guy all 1925 01:35:26.470 --> 01:35:29.210 the time. It's kind of like Canada. I talked about 1926 01:35:29.229 --> 01:35:32.649 this all morning long with KT and Rich Lowry and 1927 01:35:32.710 --> 01:35:38.149 Scott Jennings. The CBC telling their people do not use 1928 01:35:38.189 --> 01:35:45.770 the word terrorist or the words terrorist attack to describe 9-11. Yeah, 1929 01:35:46.350 --> 01:35:49.050 it came down. You are not allowed to do that 1930 01:35:49.409 --> 01:35:54.140 on our network in Canada anymore. The memo instead described 1931 01:35:54.159 --> 01:35:58.720 the events as, ready for this, hijackings that led to 1932 01:35:58.840 --> 01:36:05.439 passenger jet crashes in Washington, Pennsylvania, and Manhattan. It also 1933 01:36:05.539 --> 01:36:08.970 says the World Trade Center was destroyed, but they want 1934 01:36:08.979 --> 01:36:14.279 to remove... Any political significance. Just hijackings. That could have 1935 01:36:14.300 --> 01:36:18.779 been anybody. That wasn't the truth. The truth was, on 1936 01:36:18.840 --> 01:36:23.960 that day and every day since, radical Islam set out 1937 01:36:24.060 --> 01:36:29.779 to destroy America. How do you leave that out? 19 1938 01:36:29.979 --> 01:36:35.710 Arab hijackers. They took flying lessons. How to fly but 1939 01:36:35.770 --> 01:36:39.239 not to land. How do you leave that out and 1940 01:36:39.260 --> 01:36:41.850 just say, oh, a bunch of planes got hijacked and 1941 01:36:41.869 --> 01:36:47.189 they crashed? Are you nuts? So it's everywhere. We're surrounded 1942 01:36:47.270 --> 01:36:55.119 by people who protect radical Islam, Muslims, all of it. Criminals. 1943 01:36:56.560 --> 01:37:01.199 Sade Baranwad, a select number of families. No, Sade, the 1944 01:37:01.260 --> 01:37:05.680 majority don't want this punk anywhere near that place. And 1945 01:37:05.720 --> 01:37:07.720 I know because I speak to him, okay? I'm not 1946 01:37:07.800 --> 01:37:11.159 sitting on 66 and Broadway in a nice little studio 1947 01:37:11.199 --> 01:37:15.770 like you do, okay? Come on. You know better than that. 1948 01:37:16.029 --> 01:37:17.710 I know Bill Ritter would have said the same thing. 1949 01:37:18.529 --> 01:37:20.289 And Bill, of course, had to retire, and I wish 1950 01:37:20.310 --> 01:37:22.689 Bill the best of luck. And what he did, he's 1951 01:37:22.729 --> 01:37:26.729 going through something terrible. He's also going to the Hall 1952 01:37:26.770 --> 01:37:28.449 of Fame the same day that I am with me 1953 01:37:28.510 --> 01:37:31.829 and Roseanne Escato. And I wish Bill Ritter nothing but 1954 01:37:31.890 --> 01:37:34.029 luck and success. But he would say stuff like that. 1955 01:37:35.020 --> 01:37:39.729 Select families. No, that's not correct. Let's call it the 1956 01:37:39.770 --> 01:37:44.130 way it really is and stop trying to protect our 1957 01:37:44.470 --> 01:37:51.479 lousy and horrible politicians. Joe Takapina, best defense attorney in 1958 01:37:51.489 --> 01:37:54.520 the world, friend of mine for 49 years. He's coming up. 1959 01:37:55.199 --> 01:37:58.720 Sid and Friends in the Morning on the Red Apple 1960 01:37:58.840 --> 01:37:59.800 Podcast Network. 1961 01:38:01.010 --> 01:38:03.250 Spends a lot of time with our best generals. He's 1962 01:38:03.289 --> 01:38:05.289 been at the Pentagon many, many times. That's where Trump 1963 01:38:05.329 --> 01:38:08.640 will be on 9-11. And in fact, just to prove 1964 01:38:08.689 --> 01:38:12.560 this story, as I get set to introduce Joseph this morning, 1965 01:38:13.000 --> 01:38:16.100 he's leaving Fort Bragg. He was out there for the 1966 01:38:16.220 --> 01:38:20.579 great General Donahue's retirement ceremony. I know how upset he 1967 01:38:20.619 --> 01:38:23.500 was that Donahue was forced to retire. So was I. 1968 01:38:23.989 --> 01:38:26.170 So are a lot of people who are familiar with 1969 01:38:26.750 --> 01:38:28.930 the Army and the great job that Donahue did. So 1970 01:38:29.590 --> 01:38:33.319 let's go to Joseph right now, somewhere near Port Bragg, 1971 01:38:33.380 --> 01:38:35.979 if not in Port Bragg on this Friday morning. Joseph, 1972 01:38:36.000 --> 01:38:38.319 good morning, buddy. How are you? Good morning, brother. 1973 01:38:38.659 --> 01:38:41.100 I'm pretty good considering, you know, you spend a night 1974 01:38:41.359 --> 01:38:44.979 with a bunch of Army guys, particularly Special Forces and 1975 01:38:45.319 --> 01:38:48.979 Special Ops and those sorts of guys, and it gets rough. 1976 01:38:49.220 --> 01:38:50.020 They like the bourbon. 1977 01:38:50.039 --> 01:38:52.149 Oh, boy. 1978 01:38:52.729 --> 01:38:53.159 Oh, boy. 1979 01:38:55.729 --> 01:38:56.829 Boy, oh, boy. 1980 01:38:57.050 --> 01:38:57.890 They like bourbon. 1981 01:38:57.909 --> 01:39:00.729 They really do. Drink it like water, and then they 1982 01:39:00.750 --> 01:39:02.850 get up at 530 to do PT the next morning 1983 01:39:02.869 --> 01:39:08.470 like nothing. So, yeah, it was a great night because 1984 01:39:08.550 --> 01:39:11.649 it celebrated one of our great heroes, literally generational heroes. 1985 01:39:11.670 --> 01:39:13.390 It was also a bit of a sad night because 1986 01:39:13.430 --> 01:39:15.350 the night should never have been taking place not at 1987 01:39:15.390 --> 01:39:17.250 this time, maybe in 10 years from. 1988 01:39:17.130 --> 01:39:17.729 Now or later. 1989 01:39:18.750 --> 01:39:20.729 You know, somewhere down the road, but certainly not this time, 1990 01:39:20.770 --> 01:39:23.350 not one of the most crucial times in this country's 1991 01:39:23.710 --> 01:39:26.560 military history. But it took place and it was great. 1992 01:39:26.619 --> 01:39:28.380 And I mean, it was that was a who's who 1993 01:39:29.020 --> 01:39:31.020 of the United States Army last night. I mean, every 1994 01:39:31.199 --> 01:39:36.989 great general, General Miller and all these incredible ex-general's ex-Delta 1995 01:39:37.010 --> 01:39:39.550 Force guys and. And then, of course, you have generals 1996 01:39:39.590 --> 01:39:42.909 like Pat Worth there and General Anderson, these great leaders 1997 01:39:42.970 --> 01:39:46.220 who are still hanging in there, as our Army seems 1998 01:39:46.260 --> 01:39:49.140 to be becoming a bit of a rudderless ship. But, 1999 01:39:49.279 --> 01:39:49.960 you know, here we are. 2000 01:39:50.699 --> 01:39:54.939 Here we are. And Donahue, he called it quits last night. 2001 01:39:54.979 --> 01:39:57.560 He never should have, like you said. And then your guy, 2002 01:39:57.590 --> 01:40:01.470 Secretary Driscoll, he's about to resign the end of next week. 2003 01:40:01.510 --> 01:40:05.090 That is another horrible move for the Army, based on 2004 01:40:05.189 --> 01:40:09.520 people that I speak to, especially you. So Driscoll on 2005 01:40:09.560 --> 01:40:11.420 his way out, you know, I meant to ask you 2006 01:40:11.439 --> 01:40:14.449 this last time. Do you have anybody in mind who 2007 01:40:14.470 --> 01:40:16.789 you'd like to think would place Driscoll? 2008 01:40:17.149 --> 01:40:19.630 Oh, there's only one. There's only one. It's Mike Oberdahl. 2009 01:40:20.289 --> 01:40:24.439 Mike is currently the undersecretary, Senate-confirmed undersecretary, by the way, 2010 01:40:24.449 --> 01:40:27.260 of the United States Army. He's an obvious way to 2011 01:40:27.300 --> 01:40:31.699 restore some continuity here. Mike Overdahl is one of our great, 2012 01:40:31.779 --> 01:40:37.390 great heroes. He understands the institution. He understands modernization. Most importantly, 2013 01:40:37.409 --> 01:40:41.699 he understands soldiers. So if Driscoll leaves, not if. He 2014 01:40:41.739 --> 01:40:45.340 leaves next week, which is a done deal. You know, 2015 01:40:45.359 --> 01:40:47.619 the only guy really to replace him is Mike Oberdahl. 2016 01:40:47.699 --> 01:40:51.619 He was a helicopter pilot with Apache gunships. He had 2017 01:40:51.739 --> 01:40:54.720 multiple combat tours in Iraq and Afghanistan. He was a 2018 01:40:54.800 --> 01:40:56.960 squadron commander for the Delta Force. And if you don't 2019 01:40:56.979 --> 01:41:00.539 know what that means, that's the pinnacle of our army 2020 01:41:00.579 --> 01:41:05.470 right there. You know, he's married to a West Point grad, 2021 01:41:05.489 --> 01:41:08.229 three sons. And most importantly, he is loved by the troops. 2022 01:41:08.670 --> 01:41:12.210 Mike Oberdahl is fantastic. It really would be the only 2023 01:41:12.270 --> 01:41:17.069 choice if we want to have any sense of stability, calmness, continuity. 2024 01:41:17.399 --> 01:41:19.310 And I think that should be the case. He will 2025 01:41:19.340 --> 01:41:21.399 be the acting because he's the undersecretary. 2026 01:41:21.600 --> 01:41:21.800 Right. 2027 01:41:21.880 --> 01:41:26.180 But the president needs to restore some stability there immediately 2028 01:41:26.199 --> 01:41:29.600 and really, really appoint him. Because right now, the United 2029 01:41:29.619 --> 01:41:34.399 States Army is becoming rudderless at precisely the moment America 2030 01:41:34.439 --> 01:41:37.500 can least afford it. We're fighting worse. We care for 2031 01:41:37.539 --> 01:41:40.569 next week literally without him. A Senate-confirmed chief of staff 2032 01:41:40.609 --> 01:41:44.270 and a Senate-confirmed Army secretary. That's not a personnel problem. 2033 01:41:44.390 --> 01:41:47.250 That's a national security problem in my mind. So we 2034 01:41:47.550 --> 01:41:49.010 have to make some moves here. 2035 01:41:49.789 --> 01:41:52.020 No, I agree. You know, you mentioned the Army secretary, 2036 01:41:52.029 --> 01:41:54.399 and you and I have a dear, dear friend in common. 2037 01:41:54.920 --> 01:41:56.699 And he happens to own the Florida Panthers and a 2038 01:41:56.739 --> 01:41:59.380 couple of racehorses that won the Kentucky Derby, one of his. 2039 01:41:59.770 --> 01:42:01.689 Golden Temple in the Belmont this year. His name is 2040 01:42:01.710 --> 01:42:04.409 Vinnie Viola. And people may not know this, but back 2041 01:42:04.449 --> 01:42:07.689 in 2016, Vinnie's a New York guy, a Brooklyn guy, Williamsburg. 2042 01:42:08.170 --> 01:42:12.899 President Trump offered Vinnie the Army, the Secretary of Army position. 2043 01:42:13.420 --> 01:42:17.279 Vinnie's a big-time West Point grad and well-respected, beloved. Now, 2044 01:42:17.300 --> 01:42:19.880 Vinnie turned it down because he's got 19 other businesses 2045 01:42:19.899 --> 01:42:22.199 to run, but he was you know, honored, obviously, and 2046 01:42:22.220 --> 01:42:24.979 very respectful in turning it down. But Vinny was up 2047 01:42:25.000 --> 01:42:27.640 at that position, which is a huge honor. Shows you 2048 01:42:27.680 --> 01:42:29.899 what kind of guy Vinny is. But you just mentioned 2049 01:42:29.920 --> 01:42:33.869 the guy now. The Wall Street Journal is reporting he also, 2050 01:42:33.930 --> 01:42:36.350 like Driscoll, will be stepping down at the end of 2051 01:42:36.369 --> 01:42:37.550 the year. What's that all about? 2052 01:42:39.050 --> 01:42:43.359 You know, So, again, I'm going back to the instability 2053 01:42:43.460 --> 01:42:45.520 at the top of the United States Army and at 2054 01:42:45.539 --> 01:42:48.640 the military. And again, I'll go back to Pete Excep. 2055 01:42:49.079 --> 01:42:51.020 You know how I feel about him. You know how 2056 01:42:51.039 --> 01:42:52.600 I feel about what he's done as far as a 2057 01:42:52.670 --> 01:42:59.649 leadership voice to me. it's inexplicable. And I'm telling you 2058 01:42:59.670 --> 01:43:02.189 the guys in the know, and I'm in the know, 2059 01:43:02.210 --> 01:43:04.350 like what it's so, but the guys in the know, 2060 01:43:04.369 --> 01:43:06.590 you know, I'm the United States army ambassador. Okay. That's my, 2061 01:43:06.670 --> 01:43:09.029 my title, my role, but, but the guys who are 2062 01:43:09.069 --> 01:43:13.640 there in the, in the fields and, and, in the war, 2063 01:43:13.920 --> 01:43:16.239 on the grounds, and at the bases every single day, 2064 01:43:16.760 --> 01:43:19.680 the morale is really being drained a bit, brother. It's 2065 01:43:19.699 --> 01:43:24.319 being drained. And that's the part, look, that we need 2066 01:43:25.079 --> 01:43:27.840 to stop having happen to us. We're losing generational talents. 2067 01:43:27.859 --> 01:43:31.680 We don't replace General Donahue overnight. You just can't do it. Fortunately, 2068 01:43:31.699 --> 01:43:33.880 we have General Norrie who stepped in for it. General 2069 01:43:33.920 --> 01:43:36.520 Norrie is a great, great general. You have General Pat Warwick, 2070 01:43:36.539 --> 01:43:40.279 who's really the disciple of General Donahue. Pat Warwick is... 2071 01:43:41.289 --> 01:43:45.390 He's revered and loved. General Anderson, who's the 18th Airborne 2072 01:43:45.409 --> 01:43:49.340 Corps commander. I mean, you have some all-time greats still 2073 01:43:49.500 --> 01:43:52.380 in there, but we're losing them. And our enemies, Sid, 2074 01:43:52.520 --> 01:43:57.409 do not care about Washington politics or Pentagon infighting. The 2075 01:43:57.489 --> 01:44:00.250 enemy cares whether the United States Army is ready to 2076 01:44:00.329 --> 01:44:03.829 fight tonight. So leadership vacancies at the top of the 2077 01:44:03.890 --> 01:44:08.010 Army in wartime, to me, are unacceptable. And here we are. 2078 01:44:08.390 --> 01:44:10.810 So we need to— this needs to be taken— the president needs 2079 01:44:10.829 --> 01:44:12.529 to step right in. 2080 01:44:12.560 --> 01:44:14.859 I think he will. He's got a lot going on. 2081 01:44:14.899 --> 01:44:16.800 That's not an excuse. I love when people tell me, yeah, 2082 01:44:16.819 --> 01:44:18.479 we're busy. I don't want to hear it, okay? You've 2083 01:44:18.500 --> 01:44:22.279 got to prioritize certain things, right? Everybody's busy. Everybody's busy. 2084 01:44:22.520 --> 01:44:25.930 But you prioritize, okay? What's most important? And in this 2085 01:44:25.979 --> 01:44:30.079 case— with the president, Pete Hexeth. Does Hexeth know that 2086 01:44:30.100 --> 01:44:33.170 you go on this show and other shows? And you're right. No, 2087 01:44:33.159 --> 01:44:36.390 I'm serious. You're right. You know, you're not lying. You're 2088 01:44:36.409 --> 01:44:39.310 not talking out of line. You're giving out facts. But 2089 01:44:39.329 --> 01:44:41.609 does he know that you're pretty critical of him? 2090 01:44:42.880 --> 01:44:44.880 I never had a chat with him about it and 2091 01:44:44.939 --> 01:44:47.239 don't know. And if he wants to have a chat, 2092 01:44:47.279 --> 01:44:48.720 I'd be more than happy to. I'd say the same 2093 01:44:48.760 --> 01:44:51.069 thing to his face that I'm saying on this radio show, 2094 01:44:51.409 --> 01:44:53.010 as I've said on this radio show for months, because 2095 01:44:53.050 --> 01:44:55.869 I'm seeing what's happening inside our army. I love our army. 2096 01:44:56.229 --> 01:44:58.369 I love our soldiers. I love our troops. I love 2097 01:44:58.409 --> 01:45:02.590 our country. And I do not... want to see in 2098 01:45:02.649 --> 01:45:06.949 military nepotism, cronyism, favoritism. It doesn't belong here. Yeah, it's 2099 01:45:06.989 --> 01:45:10.010 all over corporate America. That's fine. That's part of our lives, right? Oh, 2100 01:45:10.050 --> 01:45:13.630 your buddy's son wants a job, whatever. Oh, the son 2101 01:45:13.649 --> 01:45:14.810 of the CEO gets a job. 2102 01:45:14.949 --> 01:45:15.130 Yeah. 2103 01:45:15.829 --> 01:45:20.710 Not here. Not here. Because people die when we have favoritism, cronyism, 2104 01:45:20.770 --> 01:45:24.890 or nepotism here. And so it just has to stop. 2105 01:45:24.930 --> 01:45:27.289 I don't know if he listens or doesn't listen. And 2106 01:45:27.529 --> 01:45:30.130 if it affects my standing, so be it. I will 2107 01:45:30.149 --> 01:45:31.880 always speak my mind and the truth. I don't take 2108 01:45:31.909 --> 01:45:36.159 any pleasure in saying this. I don't have a personal... 2109 01:45:36.180 --> 01:45:38.119 like for Pete Hicks as a person. I don't know him, 2110 01:45:38.800 --> 01:45:41.340 but I do know him as a leader, what he's done. 2111 01:45:41.399 --> 01:45:44.340 And I'm telling you, the people that were speaking last 2112 01:45:44.380 --> 01:45:46.659 night and as the night went on and the bourbon 2113 01:45:46.689 --> 01:45:50.890 continued to flow, people were very open about. 2114 01:45:50.050 --> 01:45:52.029 How they felt. Why do you think then that President 2115 01:45:52.069 --> 01:45:56.229 Trump has continuously, time and time again, even very recently, 2116 01:45:56.590 --> 01:45:58.670 defended Pete Hicks and kept him in that position? 2117 01:46:00.220 --> 01:46:03.689 That's one of those unanswered questions. I can't speak for 2118 01:46:03.710 --> 01:46:05.520 the president. I don't know what's in his mind when 2119 01:46:05.529 --> 01:46:07.100 it comes to that. He's a loyal guy, right? When 2120 01:46:07.140 --> 01:46:11.350 he wants, when he thinks I think that's a large 2121 01:46:11.449 --> 01:46:14.529 part of it. Pete Hegseth will do what the president wants, 2122 01:46:14.569 --> 01:46:16.529 speaks the language he wants him to speak, and so 2123 01:46:16.590 --> 01:46:19.680 on and so forth. But by all accounts, by all accounts, 2124 01:46:19.779 --> 01:46:22.800 I know firsthand that there's been a little ruffling of 2125 01:46:22.819 --> 01:46:26.439 the feathers of late between the president and Hegseth because 2126 01:46:27.319 --> 01:46:30.520 of the information that the president's been given about our 2127 01:46:30.579 --> 01:46:33.180 munitions being so low that the president did not know about. 2128 01:46:33.340 --> 01:46:35.119 But he can only rely on what his people are 2129 01:46:35.159 --> 01:46:40.270 telling him. And, you know, there was some backlash against Texas. But, 2130 01:46:40.310 --> 01:46:43.289 you know, again, we have to see where this goes. 2131 01:46:43.630 --> 01:46:47.069 I don't care who's the person. I just care about 2132 01:46:47.109 --> 01:46:50.069 the role and the title and the position being operated 2133 01:46:50.329 --> 01:46:53.380 in accordance with our needs as in the United States Army, 2134 01:46:53.880 --> 01:46:56.109 as the military. And that's it. That's all I care about. 2135 01:46:56.159 --> 01:46:58.520 But we still have some greats. Again, Mike Overdahl is 2136 01:46:58.539 --> 01:47:00.899 still there. You know, you have general work. You have 2137 01:47:00.960 --> 01:47:05.380 general leadership. Anderson, all these guys, General Norrie, there's Mike Weimer, 2138 01:47:05.439 --> 01:47:10.130 the Sergeant Major of the Army, an unbelievable leader. So 2139 01:47:10.149 --> 01:47:14.220 they're still there, but we're losing our best. By the week, 2140 01:47:14.960 --> 01:47:20.560 I mean, there was another guy who just retired, another general, 2141 01:47:21.310 --> 01:47:24.630 La Camera. He just retired. He was a four-star general. 2142 01:47:24.710 --> 01:47:27.970 I mean, you know, these people are not easy to replace. 2143 01:47:28.369 --> 01:47:29.640 I spent a lot of time with him last night, 2144 01:47:29.939 --> 01:47:33.479 General Paul La Camera, four-star. He left. The last year 2145 01:47:33.659 --> 01:47:36.359 and a half. I mean, you can't, you know, you just, 2146 01:47:36.859 --> 01:47:40.109 these guys, you don't replace them that easily. And we 2147 01:47:40.130 --> 01:47:41.970 have to be careful. That's all I'm saying. And the 2148 01:47:42.029 --> 01:47:45.909 morale needs to be paid attention to because soldiers need 2149 01:47:45.930 --> 01:47:49.000 to have the will, the desire, and the belief that 2150 01:47:49.220 --> 01:47:53.550 our administrators are behind them 100%. 2151 01:47:53.550 --> 01:47:54.810 You can't argue with any of that. I got to 2152 01:47:54.819 --> 01:47:56.470 tell you, we're on twice this week because you're so 2153 01:47:56.489 --> 01:47:58.729 damn good, Joe Tacopini. You were great on Monday, great 2154 01:47:58.810 --> 01:48:04.090 on Monday. And this was amazing information. Not good. Amazing, 2155 01:48:04.130 --> 01:48:06.649 which only a certain amount of people can get. And 2156 01:48:06.670 --> 01:48:08.470 you're one of those people. But I can't let you go. 2157 01:48:08.949 --> 01:48:11.329 I can't, even though this is great already, without asking 2158 01:48:11.390 --> 01:48:14.409 about the biggest trial in the country, in the world today. 2159 01:48:14.829 --> 01:48:17.170 And that is Lindsay Clancy. We did speak about this 2160 01:48:17.250 --> 01:48:19.210 on Monday as well. I told you. I think what 2161 01:48:19.229 --> 01:48:19.970 she did was incredible. 2162 01:48:20.039 --> 01:48:20.279 Evil. 2163 01:48:20.399 --> 01:48:22.899 I'm not sure she is evil. That's up for debate, 2164 01:48:23.159 --> 01:48:24.939 but I do think what she did was evil. Now 2165 01:48:24.960 --> 01:48:28.159 they're saying today that with the, um, now the, the 2166 01:48:28.359 --> 01:48:29.939 verdict in the hand of the jury, the hands of 2167 01:48:29.960 --> 01:48:33.760 the jury, that there could be any one of five 2168 01:48:34.220 --> 01:48:38.399 different verdicts in this Trial. Five manslaughter's in there. Murder one, 2169 01:48:38.439 --> 01:48:42.010 murder two. I don't even know what else. So, really, 2170 01:48:42.229 --> 01:48:46.130 how complex has this case, Takapina, turned out to be? 2171 01:48:46.149 --> 01:48:52.449 Incredibly complex, because it's not just a whodunit. It's a why. 2172 01:48:52.470 --> 01:48:55.550 Right, there's no whodunit. She admitted she did it. She 2173 01:48:55.569 --> 01:48:56.510 admitted she killed the kids. 2174 01:48:57.350 --> 01:49:01.050 Right, so then you now have to unbuckle all these... 2175 01:49:01.770 --> 01:49:04.720 sort of experts and their testimony and who's more credible. 2176 01:49:04.800 --> 01:49:07.119 One expert says something, another says something else. And then 2177 01:49:07.140 --> 01:49:09.000 there's the common sense factor. You know, I always remind 2178 01:49:09.020 --> 01:49:10.810 jurors when I speak to them, I say, you know, 2179 01:49:10.819 --> 01:49:13.630 ladies and gentlemen, there is no such thing as jury school, okay? 2180 01:49:14.069 --> 01:49:16.329 You don't need any special skill set to be here. 2181 01:49:16.689 --> 01:49:19.960 All you need is your God-given common sense. And to 2182 01:49:20.000 --> 01:49:22.520 be fair and impartial. Don't come in here with any 2183 01:49:22.619 --> 01:49:25.500 biases or motives or leaning one way or another. Just 2184 01:49:25.779 --> 01:49:28.979 be open-minded, God-given common sense, follow the law and follow 2185 01:49:29.010 --> 01:49:31.750 the facts, and you'll do okay, ladies and gentlemen. Because 2186 01:49:31.810 --> 01:49:33.590 jurors are nervous that they don't know how to do 2187 01:49:33.630 --> 01:49:36.670 this stuff. There's nothing to it. But this case is complex. 2188 01:49:36.689 --> 01:49:39.180 There are five different potential words, but actually there are 2189 01:49:39.199 --> 01:49:41.850 six different outcomes, potential outcomes, right? Because you have to 2190 01:49:41.869 --> 01:49:43.899 also throw a hung jury in there. That's a sixth 2191 01:49:44.020 --> 01:49:47.100 potential outcome. But the five different potential, it's a first 2192 01:49:47.119 --> 01:49:50.600 degree murder, right? That's the top dog there. That's under 2193 01:49:50.619 --> 01:49:56.140 a deliberate premeditation. But there's an element of extreme atrocity 2194 01:49:56.229 --> 01:49:59.300 or cruelty. OK, that's life in prison without parole. That's 2195 01:49:59.399 --> 01:50:01.760 first degree murder. Second degree murder, which is still murder. 2196 01:50:01.779 --> 01:50:05.439 You know, they have to find a criminal responsible for 2197 01:50:05.460 --> 01:50:09.039 the murder, but doesn't find the element of first degree murder. 2198 01:50:09.060 --> 01:50:12.649 That would be the cruelty or atrocity element. That can 2199 01:50:12.689 --> 01:50:14.810 be life in prison, but there is the possibility of parole. 2200 01:50:15.409 --> 01:50:18.930 Then you go down the pecking order. Then there's manslaughter, right? 2201 01:50:19.390 --> 01:50:23.250 It's basically essentially the compromised criminal verdict manslaughter in any 2202 01:50:23.550 --> 01:50:27.409 homicide case. So, yes, she was criminally responsible, but the 2203 01:50:27.449 --> 01:50:31.029 culpability did not rise to murder. And that's 20 years 2204 01:50:31.560 --> 01:50:35.039 max on each count. The judge could also run them consecutively, 2205 01:50:35.199 --> 01:50:38.479 which for all intents and purposes becomes life. Then you 2206 01:50:38.500 --> 01:50:42.319 have not. Here's the one that I think is going 2207 01:50:42.340 --> 01:50:46.130 to be the one. Not guilty by lack of criminal responsibility. 2208 01:50:46.149 --> 01:50:48.029 I'm looking at the verdict sheet, right? So not guilty 2209 01:50:48.050 --> 01:50:52.260 by lack of criminal responsibility is basically the insanity verdict 2210 01:50:52.340 --> 01:50:56.159 in Massachusetts, okay? That's the key question, whether because of 2211 01:50:56.260 --> 01:51:00.359 mental disease or defect, was she unable to appreciate... The 2212 01:51:00.399 --> 01:51:03.079 wrongfulness of what she was doing or able to conform 2213 01:51:03.100 --> 01:51:06.399 her conduct to the law. So she doesn't get to 2214 01:51:06.460 --> 01:51:09.800 walk away. She just gets committed to a state psychiatric 2215 01:51:10.000 --> 01:51:13.050 hospital facility. And then, of course, it's not guilty. That's 2216 01:51:13.199 --> 01:51:16.090 never happening. That's a straight. It will go home. You know, 2217 01:51:16.170 --> 01:51:17.489 you're not guilty. I ain't happening. 2218 01:51:17.510 --> 01:51:17.630 Right. 2219 01:51:17.810 --> 01:51:17.989 Right. 2220 01:51:20.300 --> 01:51:21.960 But I do think the not guilty by lack of 2221 01:51:22.000 --> 01:51:23.619 criminal responsibility is the one. 2222 01:51:23.859 --> 01:51:24.319 So do I. 2223 01:51:24.439 --> 01:51:27.670 I had it. That's where I go. It's not a walk. 2224 01:51:27.529 --> 01:51:29.470 Away, right? I mean, the only thing, the only thing is, 2225 01:51:29.770 --> 01:51:31.750 is I'm with you. I think that's what they do too. 2226 01:51:31.770 --> 01:51:33.529 And I think that would be the fairest outcome. I 2227 01:51:33.569 --> 01:51:35.890 really do. The only thing I have to say to 2228 01:51:35.909 --> 01:51:37.750 you is where folks get upset is, but yeah, but Sid, 2229 01:51:38.329 --> 01:51:43.789 she actually asked her husband to leave the house, right? 2230 01:51:43.850 --> 01:51:46.380 Go pick up this, go pick up that because she 2231 01:51:46.439 --> 01:51:49.579 knew once he left the house, she can kill the kids. 2232 01:51:50.109 --> 01:51:53.010 So it wasn't like she's sitting there and she just 2233 01:51:53.029 --> 01:51:56.699 goes nuts, right? So to a certain extent, that's a 2234 01:51:56.880 --> 01:51:59.539 little planned, a little, or no. 2235 01:52:00.420 --> 01:52:02.050 Yeah, you can plan and still be. 2236 01:52:02.899 --> 01:52:03.239 Insane. 2237 01:52:03.529 --> 01:52:06.770 You can plan and still have an insanity defense or 2238 01:52:07.109 --> 01:52:09.359 a verdict of this type. I mean, you can do it. 2239 01:52:09.729 --> 01:52:13.460 Not guilty by lack of criminal responsibility, because if you 2240 01:52:13.479 --> 01:52:15.699 believe the expert of the defense, that Dr. Resnick, who 2241 01:52:16.020 --> 01:52:18.520 by all accounts and reports, I didn't watch every second 2242 01:52:18.539 --> 01:52:20.119 of the testimony of other things to do, but I've 2243 01:52:20.159 --> 01:52:23.369 read that he was very good. And what he testified 2244 01:52:23.409 --> 01:52:27.770 to was that she was experiencing these things called command hallucinations, right? 2245 01:52:28.510 --> 01:52:32.909 And a delusion of influence. So command hallucinations, like someone's 2246 01:52:32.949 --> 01:52:35.170 telling you to do something and whatnot. Now, look, we 2247 01:52:35.250 --> 01:52:38.310 don't know. We can't get inside someone's brain. You know, 2248 01:52:38.340 --> 01:52:40.920 it sounds weird. Like the son of Sam. Remember the 2249 01:52:41.000 --> 01:52:42.600 son of Sam when we were kids? 2250 01:52:42.640 --> 01:52:42.939 Yeah, yeah. 2251 01:52:42.960 --> 01:52:44.600 You know, the dog told him to do that. 2252 01:52:44.619 --> 01:52:45.500 That's right. That's right. 2253 01:52:45.640 --> 01:52:46.159 And, you know. 2254 01:52:47.180 --> 01:52:49.439 And again, just last week, we brought this up on Monday, 2255 01:52:49.460 --> 01:52:53.640 this young man in Pennsylvania who killed this beautiful young 2256 01:52:53.680 --> 01:52:57.439 girl on her way to Pennsylvania University on a soccer scholarship. 2257 01:52:57.779 --> 01:53:00.470 He said he heard demons, but he had way too 2258 01:53:00.550 --> 01:53:02.630 much planning. Way too much. 2259 01:53:03.600 --> 01:53:05.140 But yet he also got mad at her because she 2260 01:53:05.180 --> 01:53:05.739 said something. 2261 01:53:05.779 --> 01:53:05.960 Right. 2262 01:53:05.979 --> 01:53:07.920 I mean, I heard demons is a great line in 2263 01:53:07.939 --> 01:53:10.319 there when you have no defense at all. 2264 01:53:10.640 --> 01:53:12.239 You got caught red-handed. Yeah. 2265 01:53:12.399 --> 01:53:14.760 You're disposing of the body, disposing of the evidence. You 2266 01:53:14.800 --> 01:53:17.920 call mommy to help. You know, you had a motive 2267 01:53:17.939 --> 01:53:20.770 because you got angry. You lost your mind. And you 2268 01:53:20.789 --> 01:53:24.210 did some horrible, disgusting, and despicable. So what are you 2269 01:53:24.229 --> 01:53:27.329 going to say? Self-defense? She was scaring me? No. You're 2270 01:53:27.350 --> 01:53:30.270 going to say, oh, I heard demons. Okay. Bingo. So 2271 01:53:30.310 --> 01:53:32.250 now we have insanity. So the problem with that is 2272 01:53:32.470 --> 01:53:35.550 it has to actually develop. forensically. It has to develop 2273 01:53:35.560 --> 01:53:39.329 by a medical doctor who's going to evaluate that. Anyone 2274 01:53:39.350 --> 01:53:41.430 could just say, I heard demons. There's got to be 2275 01:53:41.630 --> 01:53:45.939 outside corroborating proof that there really was something mentally off there. Here, 2276 01:53:46.140 --> 01:53:47.859 I think you have plenty of it, right? I just 2277 01:53:47.899 --> 01:53:50.100 think you have plenty of it. Because the state, the Commonwealth, 2278 01:53:50.119 --> 01:53:54.140 has to prove criminal responsibility beyond a reasonable doubt. And remember, 2279 01:53:54.180 --> 01:53:57.279 that is a massive hurdle in our system. So you 2280 01:53:57.319 --> 01:54:00.819 could think that maybe she was criminally responsible. You could 2281 01:54:00.840 --> 01:54:04.729 think I'm probably certain she was criminally responsible. Sid, maybe 2282 01:54:04.890 --> 01:54:08.710 and probably certain in the criminal justice system equals not guilty. 2283 01:54:09.770 --> 01:54:10.270 Not guilty. 2284 01:54:10.649 --> 01:54:12.880 So remember that. So even if we think, oh, come on, 2285 01:54:13.479 --> 01:54:15.899 That's not enough. I mean, they have to prove this 2286 01:54:15.939 --> 01:54:18.180 case beyond a reasonable doubt. And that's any doubt based 2287 01:54:18.239 --> 01:54:20.380 on reason. If you have one of those, not guilty 2288 01:54:20.479 --> 01:54:21.300 of that count anyway. 2289 01:54:22.079 --> 01:54:25.399 Joe Tacopini, the absolute best. What an amazing appearance today 2290 01:54:25.439 --> 01:54:27.979 between the Army stuff and Lindsey Clancy. God, I love 2291 01:54:28.000 --> 01:54:30.100 you so much. Nobody better. But that was great, Joe. 2292 01:54:30.119 --> 01:54:32.560 Have a great weekend. Thank you, God. You are the best. 2293 01:54:33.010 --> 01:54:35.829 How great was that? Joseph Tacopini on the Army and 2294 01:54:36.090 --> 01:54:40.069 Lindsey Clancy. That's my guy. Going on 49 years. Two 2295 01:54:40.149 --> 01:54:45.170 of us in the polyglot the old poly prep annual yearbook. 2296 01:54:45.189 --> 01:54:46.640 You've heard this a million times before. You're going to 2297 01:54:46.649 --> 01:54:49.739 hear it again. Two of us, it was either the 2298 01:54:49.840 --> 01:54:53.340 sixth or seventh grade. I forget exactly which one. Danny 2299 01:54:53.380 --> 01:54:57.460 Pagliano may know. Gary Hanna may know. We were voted, 2300 01:54:58.000 --> 01:55:07.510 Takapina and Rosenberg, the two least likely, least likely to succeed. 2301 01:55:08.369 --> 01:55:10.689 And now he's the best defense attorney in the world. 2302 01:55:11.350 --> 01:55:14.350 And I'm the best radio voice in the world. That's 2303 01:55:14.369 --> 01:55:16.909 a pretty good call back in sixth or seventh grade. 2304 01:55:17.180 --> 01:55:19.479 They were all over that one. All over that one. 2305 01:55:19.720 --> 01:55:21.840 In the meantime, all those people that said that about me, 2306 01:55:22.180 --> 01:55:25.739 they're either in prison, dead, or running, you know, dessert 2307 01:55:25.760 --> 01:55:28.159 shops somewhere, basically. You know what I'm saying, Lou, right? 2308 01:55:28.859 --> 01:55:31.939 So at least you're not vindictive about it. 2309 01:55:31.960 --> 01:55:32.340 That's good. 2310 01:55:32.699 --> 01:55:34.939 Is there anybody you want to spit in the face 2311 01:55:35.000 --> 01:55:35.520 of right now? 2312 01:55:35.579 --> 01:55:39.649 I've maintained that resentment for a long time. I forgive 2313 01:55:39.850 --> 01:55:41.840 every time. I'm the nicest guy you'll ever meet. You 2314 01:55:41.880 --> 01:55:44.380 know that. I do know that. But I never forget. 2315 01:55:44.539 --> 01:55:46.239 They could still be mutually exclusive. 2316 01:55:46.420 --> 01:55:50.260 I forgive. I don't forget. I don't forget. So I'm 2317 01:55:50.300 --> 01:55:53.939 a nice guy. Look, I'm old. I'm going to be 2318 01:55:53.939 --> 01:55:58.710 60 in April. I hate altercation. I hate confrontation. I 2319 01:55:59.270 --> 01:56:01.149 don't like it. I come on the air and I 2320 01:56:01.170 --> 01:56:03.029 beat the living daylights out of people. I do because 2321 01:56:03.050 --> 01:56:06.689 they're bad people. They're bad people. And someone's got to 2322 01:56:06.729 --> 01:56:09.340 do it. Someone has to do it. And I'm not afraid. 2323 01:56:10.380 --> 01:56:11.939 I'm not afraid to get punched across the face. It's 2324 01:56:12.000 --> 01:56:14.739 happened to me a million times. I managed to hit 2325 01:56:14.899 --> 01:56:18.529 every single step at the palladium when somebody punched me 2326 01:56:18.569 --> 01:56:20.510 in the face at the very top of the stairs. 2327 01:56:20.770 --> 01:56:23.909 I managed to hit every single step. I'm not afraid. 2328 01:56:24.689 --> 01:56:28.439 So here for these four hours, I mess with everybody. 2329 01:56:29.220 --> 01:56:32.220 But once it's over, well, I have Twitter too. That's 2330 01:56:32.239 --> 01:56:34.800 another issue. I got to work on that. But otherwise, 2331 01:56:34.840 --> 01:56:37.199 I'm a nice guy. I don't You know what I'm saying, Lou? 2332 01:56:37.229 --> 01:56:38.229 I mean, you're with me? Come on. 2333 01:56:38.489 --> 01:56:42.840 Yeah, I have agreed twice. I know you're a nice guy. Yes. 2334 01:56:43.279 --> 01:56:45.760 But I get angry about certain things, but I do 2335 01:56:45.920 --> 01:56:48.600 remember people who said you'd amount to nothing. I mean, 2336 01:56:48.979 --> 01:56:50.939 I'm going to do this quickly. We went for dinner 2337 01:56:51.000 --> 01:56:53.260 one time in Boca Raton many years ago, Danielle and I, 2338 01:56:53.260 --> 01:56:55.039 and I was really having a difficult time. I was. 2339 01:56:55.979 --> 01:56:58.449 And I wasn't doing very well, and people knew it. 2340 01:56:59.140 --> 01:57:01.840 And somebody at the dinner table actually basically said, your 2341 01:57:01.880 --> 01:57:05.399 husband's a loser. I know he's doing radio, but he's 2342 01:57:05.439 --> 01:57:08.399 a loser, and You know, what are you going to do, 2343 01:57:08.449 --> 01:57:12.020 you know? And she got upset at dinner. Then I 2344 01:57:12.039 --> 01:57:14.439 got upset. Don't get upset. Who cares what he says? 2345 01:57:14.479 --> 01:57:17.420 He's a loser. But she loves me, and she got upset, 2346 01:57:17.439 --> 01:57:20.310 you know. And I remember that guy, and she remembers 2347 01:57:20.350 --> 01:57:23.810 that guy very, very well because as tough as I 2348 01:57:23.850 --> 01:57:25.510 can be, Danielle's a heck of a lot tougher. So 2349 01:57:25.529 --> 01:57:26.369 I just don't forget. 2350 01:57:26.390 --> 01:57:26.829 She's beautiful. 2351 01:57:27.359 --> 01:57:29.000 Scarier, yeah.

Sid 2362 01:57:50.720 --> 01:57:52.119 and Friends in. 2363 01:57:52.020 --> 01:57:54.739 The Morning on the Red Apple Podcast Network. 2364 01:57:56.289 --> 01:57:58.100 I enjoyed it for a while living in the city 2365 01:57:58.180 --> 01:58:00.359 and had a doorman and all that was great. But 2366 01:58:00.819 --> 01:58:02.779 I love my own house. I do. But man, does 2367 01:58:02.819 --> 01:58:05.909 it become expensive? I don't care. It just becomes it's 2368 01:58:06.050 --> 01:58:08.409 one thing after another. And now we're in the midst 2369 01:58:08.470 --> 01:58:13.220 of a huge job. huge job. Some of my bricks 2370 01:58:13.840 --> 01:58:17.939 not pointed correctly and literally moving away from the house. 2371 01:58:18.800 --> 01:58:20.479 We get leaks all the time. You guys know this. 2372 01:58:20.520 --> 01:58:22.720 It's been a disaster. At one point, we had to 2373 01:58:22.760 --> 01:58:25.619 move out for six months because all my pipes burst. 2374 01:58:26.470 --> 01:58:30.069 So while my house is gorgeous and we love the neighborhood, 2375 01:58:30.329 --> 01:58:33.720 we do. Most of the people, 99% are great. Couple 2376 01:58:33.729 --> 01:58:36.140 of assholes, but that's fine. They don't bother me. We 2377 01:58:36.180 --> 01:58:39.840 love it there. It has become very expensive to live there. 2378 01:58:40.680 --> 01:58:42.319 So my buddy, Rich Clift is the guy that keeps 2379 01:58:42.359 --> 01:58:44.979 working on my house. He rebuilt the house after the 2380 01:58:45.020 --> 01:58:48.039 water damage. And now he's taking out all these bricks 2381 01:58:48.140 --> 01:58:52.100 and basically rebuilding it again. Rich Clift, a lot of money. 2382 01:58:52.640 --> 01:58:55.329 And Joe from right way with the, uh, You know, 2383 01:58:55.350 --> 01:58:57.069 with the dumpster, it's a lot of money.

It's 2386 01:59:02.239 --> 01:59:03.770 a lot of money, but we got to do it. 2387 01:59:04.720 --> 01:59:07.739 I mean, the house is like literally coming apart.

You know, you guys both live in apartments. 2392 01:59:21.590 --> 01:59:24.189 So I guess to that respect, you're kind of lucky. 2393 01:59:24.579 --> 01:59:27.100 I mean, the grass is always greener, so while I 2394 01:59:27.159 --> 01:59:31.020 appreciate when I hear this, I always appreciate, ah, just 2395 01:59:31.039 --> 01:59:31.520 go home. 2396 01:59:31.539 --> 01:59:32.119 Right. 2397 01:59:32.159 --> 01:59:32.579 Fresh. 2398 01:59:32.979 --> 01:59:33.270 Right. 2399 01:59:33.279 --> 01:59:34.569 That's it. 2400 01:59:34.590 --> 01:59:35.010 Right. 2401 01:59:36.520 --> 01:59:38.529 Positives and negatives to everything, you know. 2402 01:59:38.729 --> 01:59:40.510 Well, it got weird for me when I started to 2403 01:59:40.529 --> 01:59:42.609 gain some real popularity in New York and I'd have 2404 01:59:42.649 --> 01:59:46.689 to go into a building and wait for the elevator 2405 01:59:46.729 --> 01:59:47.909 and I'd talk to people, you know. 2406 01:59:48.090 --> 01:59:49.750 Oh, that's what I can't stand either. 2407 01:59:49.869 --> 01:59:52.329 Like, I go home, I go home.

It's the fact that 2415 02:00:08.390 --> 02:00:12.840 some of them are old and they should not be 2416 02:00:12.880 --> 02:00:15.079 by themselves.

Oh, wow. 2472 02:02:09.500 --> 02:02:09.840 20 years. 2473 02:02:10.039 --> 02:02:10.159 Yeah. 2474 02:02:10.180 --> 02:02:12.590 So we were back and forth in Woodside. She's kept it. 2475 02:02:12.729 --> 02:02:12.810 Yeah. 2476 02:02:12.819 --> 02:02:14.390 And then we lived in Woodside. Then we went back 2477 02:02:14.430 --> 02:02:15.710 in there when I was forced out. 2478 02:02:15.970 --> 02:02:16.090 Yeah. 2479 02:02:16.699 --> 02:02:19.789 And but I have never I have never lived with 2480 02:02:20.189 --> 02:02:23.729 the the elevator they've called on that got stopped. Our 2481 02:02:23.789 --> 02:02:28.619 terraces have now been closed for about three years now. 2482 02:02:28.819 --> 02:02:30.819 I don't know about all this. I know. Trust me. 2483 02:02:30.880 --> 02:02:32.159 I haven't been able to use my terrace. 2484 02:02:32.220 --> 02:02:35.859 My sister, my mother and sister, they had condominiums in 2485 02:02:35.899 --> 02:02:39.689 South Florida and they shut the pool down. Shut the pool. 2486 02:02:40.210 --> 02:02:41.909 They haven't had. 2487 02:02:41.850 --> 02:02:45.590 A pool down there in their big buildings, big, beautiful 2488 02:02:45.609 --> 02:02:49.229 buildings on the water, Aventura. Haven't had a pool for 2489 02:02:49.310 --> 02:02:52.659 three years. Now, my brother-in-law bought a house, Albert, in 2490 02:02:52.699 --> 02:02:55.340 Parkland anyway, Sherry. It's a gorgeous house. So they're out 2491 02:02:55.359 --> 02:02:57.140 of there. But for like three years, they never had 2492 02:02:57.159 --> 02:02:57.380 a pool. 2493 02:02:58.500 --> 02:03:00.100 Why? Because of an issue? 2494 02:03:00.180 --> 02:03:01.659 There was an issue with the pool and they didn't 2495 02:03:01.699 --> 02:03:04.659 fix it for three years. So if I visited them, 2496 02:03:04.699 --> 02:03:08.119 I went to the beach in Hallandale. It's ridiculous. And 2497 02:03:08.149 --> 02:03:10.729 when I lived in that Upper West Side apartment, my 2498 02:03:10.739 --> 02:03:15.630 last apartment, right on, I guess it was, what is 2499 02:03:15.689 --> 02:03:18.670 it called? West End or I guess West End, between 2500 02:03:18.689 --> 02:03:22.949 104th and 105th. We lived on the 14th floor. The 2501 02:03:22.989 --> 02:03:27.569 elevator was always broken, always. So back then, I used 2502 02:03:27.600 --> 02:03:31.000 to shop at Gristiti's on 103rd and Broadway. I would 2503 02:03:31.020 --> 02:03:34.859 buy my groceries at Gristiti's, have to walk it over 2504 02:03:34.920 --> 02:03:38.279 to East End Avenue, I guess, on 104th, and then 2505 02:03:38.359 --> 02:03:43.909 walk it 14 flights up to my apartment. So I 2506 02:03:43.949 --> 02:03:46.050 would always text them and go, hey, I'm taking money 2507 02:03:46.090 --> 02:03:48.550 off the rent this month. No, you're not. Even COVID. 2508 02:03:49.130 --> 02:03:51.250 During COVID, I said, you're not getting the same amount 2509 02:03:51.289 --> 02:03:51.569 of rent. 2510 02:03:51.949 --> 02:03:52.310 Sorry. 2511 02:03:52.890 --> 02:03:54.670 And they did accept that. They had no choice. Plus, 2512 02:03:54.689 --> 02:03:56.689 I took the whole gym from the basement, put it 2513 02:03:56.710 --> 02:03:59.289 in my apartment. Swear to God. Literally took the whole gym. 2514 02:04:00.590 --> 02:04:02.689 You walked inside my apartment. There was a weight bench. 2515 02:04:03.109 --> 02:04:06.149 There were weights everywhere. I'm like, listen, you shut the gym. 2516 02:04:06.529 --> 02:04:09.149 No one's using it. It's closed because of COVID. I'm 2517 02:04:09.180 --> 02:04:10.949 going to use it. And when I'm done, I'll put 2518 02:04:10.989 --> 02:04:14.399 it back. Even with the reduction in price during COVID, 2519 02:04:14.659 --> 02:04:18.520 I still spent the most. It was just impossible. The 2520 02:04:18.539 --> 02:04:22.100 elevator was always broken. Always. They promised me a sunroof. 2521 02:04:22.140 --> 02:04:24.770 I lived there for three years. Never got a sunroof. 2522 02:04:24.789 --> 02:04:25.529 We're working on it. 2523 02:04:25.550 --> 02:04:27.270 Plus there's maintenance fees you're paying. 2524 02:04:27.369 --> 02:04:27.750 I know. 2525 02:04:27.970 --> 02:04:29.189 You're paying maintenance fees. 2526 02:04:29.390 --> 02:04:31.289 Up the ass. Outrageous. 2527 02:04:31.430 --> 02:04:34.289 And I tell MJ, just cut it. Cut it. 2528 02:04:34.430 --> 02:04:35.689 We own these. 2529 02:04:35.770 --> 02:04:37.939 We're supposed to have terrace access. 2530 02:04:37.979 --> 02:04:38.500 Of course. 2531 02:04:38.520 --> 02:04:41.920 If you want to hire a company that takes three 2532 02:04:42.020 --> 02:04:46.340 damn years to fix this, all the terraces, then the... 2533 02:04:46.779 --> 02:04:47.739 The price should go down. 2534 02:04:47.739 --> 02:04:47.800 100%. 2535 02:04:47.800 --> 02:04:48.939 Of course. 2536 02:04:49.079 --> 02:04:49.260 Yeah. 2537 02:04:49.460 --> 02:04:49.899 Of course. 2538 02:04:49.920 --> 02:04:52.340 But it doesn't. No chance. 2539 02:04:52.600 --> 02:04:53.239 Things go up. 2540 02:04:53.680 --> 02:04:56.979 We've got a big charity about to take place in 2541 02:04:57.020 --> 02:05:00.239 the city. Our dear friend Janice Dean, she was on 2542 02:05:00.270 --> 02:05:03.590 a couple of weeks ago. She's raising money for nursing homes. 2543 02:05:03.989 --> 02:05:06.069 She's going to tell us about this big charity she 2544 02:05:06.090 --> 02:05:08.949 has coming up, I believe, next week. It may be Monday. 2545 02:05:09.430 --> 02:05:11.590 And how you get involved. Our old buddy from Fox 2546 02:05:11.649 --> 02:05:13.689 News and the Imus in the Morning Show. 2547 02:05:14.539 --> 02:05:18.039 Sid and Friends in the Morning on the Red Apple 2548 02:05:18.180 --> 02:05:19.119 Podcast Network. 2549 02:05:20.300 --> 02:05:23.340 Our great friend, the very talented Janice Dean. Janice, you 2550 02:05:23.399 --> 02:05:25.649 are Canadian. Are you a big Neil Young fan? 2551 02:05:26.510 --> 02:05:28.670 That's a terrible Neil Young song. 2552 02:05:28.850 --> 02:05:29.850 Oh, yeah. 2553 02:05:30.250 --> 02:05:32.010 What do you like?

He did a good job when 2556 02:05:37.789 --> 02:05:39.710 he was with Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young. 2557 02:05:39.909 --> 02:05:42.010 He did that. He wrote that song, too, which was 2558 02:05:42.050 --> 02:05:42.729 good with the. 2559 02:05:44.250 --> 02:05:47.359 25-year commemoration of 9-11 coming up. He wrote that song 2560 02:05:47.399 --> 02:05:51.000 about United Flight 93 passengers. Let's roll. Remember that? 2561 02:05:52.199 --> 02:05:52.739 I do. 2562 02:05:52.840 --> 02:05:53.340 Yes. 2563 02:05:53.920 --> 02:05:56.770 A wonderful song by Neil Young. I'm a Rush fan. 2564 02:05:57.689 --> 02:06:01.510 And I love that they're touring. And I was a 2565 02:06:01.550 --> 02:06:04.880 little worried because I thought, how can they tour without 2566 02:06:04.939 --> 02:06:07.539 Neil Peart? I mean, how is that possible? I was 2567 02:06:07.619 --> 02:06:13.260 actually mad at them. But this drummer that is subbing 2568 02:06:13.340 --> 02:06:16.819 in for the great Neil Peart, who we lost to young, 2569 02:06:17.310 --> 02:06:18.390 she's fantastic. 2570 02:06:18.670 --> 02:06:19.050 She is. 2571 02:06:19.069 --> 02:06:19.750 Good for Rush. 2572 02:06:19.970 --> 02:06:22.289 Yeah, Lou said that. Lou said she was really good. 2573 02:06:22.310 --> 02:06:24.550 And we play Rush here all the time.

He did a lot of good things. 2619 02:08:03.569 --> 02:08:06.979 I mean, you know, kids with cancer. 2620 02:08:07.260 --> 02:08:08.659 I've softened over the years. 2621 02:08:08.680 --> 02:08:08.960 Me too. 2622 02:08:09.020 --> 02:08:11.699 I really have. You know what? He brought me to 2623 02:08:11.739 --> 02:08:14.930 New York. He's the one. Well, I don't know. I 2624 02:08:14.949 --> 02:08:17.170 don't know if he loved me. I think it was just. 2625 02:08:17.329 --> 02:08:19.229 Hold on. Who's got something? 2626 02:08:19.250 --> 02:08:20.350 Wait, wait, wait. 2627 02:08:20.609 --> 02:08:25.109 Straighten this out. Recall who fought for you. 2628 02:08:25.659 --> 02:08:25.939 Who? 2629 02:08:26.119 --> 02:08:26.880 I know you did. 2630 02:08:26.899 --> 02:08:28.659 Lou, I know that. 2631 02:08:28.819 --> 02:08:31.840 I know you thought I was the dark Canadian horse. 2632 02:08:31.979 --> 02:08:32.850 I said it right away. 2633 02:08:32.859 --> 02:08:36.550 And I had no chance in a double hockey stick. 2634 02:08:38.029 --> 02:08:39.609 I said she is the best. 2635 02:08:39.689 --> 02:08:41.109 He did. Lou was the one. 2636 02:08:41.149 --> 02:08:41.329 Yeah. 2637 02:08:41.430 --> 02:08:43.869 I mean, Bernie had nice things to say, too. But 2638 02:08:43.909 --> 02:08:46.390 Lou was the one who really brought you across the 2639 02:08:46.409 --> 02:08:48.680 finish line. I'm the same way. I've softened, too. In fact, 2640 02:08:48.729 --> 02:08:50.220 you're not going to believe this, but I talked to 2641 02:08:50.239 --> 02:08:52.590 Deirdre and Wyatt. Once in a while, they've congratulated me 2642 02:08:52.600 --> 02:08:54.189 on making the Hall of Fame and the whole thing. 2643 02:08:54.750 --> 02:08:58.630 And I do admit that a lot of the influence 2644 02:08:58.689 --> 02:09:01.619 on my career, which has gone well, came from Imus. 2645 02:09:01.659 --> 02:09:03.800 So the longer he's gone, the more I like him. 2646 02:09:05.699 --> 02:09:06.369 It is what it is. 2647 02:09:07.350 --> 02:09:09.750 I think I should have stood up for myself more. 2648 02:09:09.970 --> 02:09:12.329 And who knows? Maybe I would have, you know, stayed 2649 02:09:12.369 --> 02:09:13.649 with you guys. I'm not sure. 2650 02:09:13.670 --> 02:09:14.369 That's hindsight. 2651 02:09:14.390 --> 02:09:16.270 You just don't know. Who knows? A long time ago, 2652 02:09:16.329 --> 02:09:19.270 of course. But look, you're doing great things now. And 2653 02:09:19.310 --> 02:09:21.810 I know that you've got a big charity coming up. 2654 02:09:21.850 --> 02:09:24.010 This sounds like it's going to be great. All those 2655 02:09:24.090 --> 02:09:27.289 beautiful clothes you wore on Fox News every morning out 2656 02:09:27.329 --> 02:09:29.310 there with the fans and doing the weather and all 2657 02:09:29.350 --> 02:09:32.989 that fun stuff. You're about to auction all that stuff off. 2658 02:09:33.029 --> 02:09:34.600 Is that right? Yes. 2659 02:09:34.899 --> 02:09:39.310 So on Tuesday, September 1st at the Harrison in Floral Park, 2660 02:09:39.729 --> 02:09:41.449 I am I have to tell you, I think I've 2661 02:09:41.550 --> 02:09:43.550 hoarded a lot of these clothes. Like people are like, 2662 02:09:43.649 --> 02:09:45.710 why did you save all of that stuff? And the 2663 02:09:45.750 --> 02:09:48.760 reason is because when I find something that fits me, 2664 02:09:48.770 --> 02:09:51.479 I keep it and I buy like five of them. 2665 02:09:51.640 --> 02:09:56.680 So I have like. Hundreds of dresses and coats that 2666 02:09:56.720 --> 02:10:00.079 I wore outside doing the weather and skirts and belts 2667 02:10:00.239 --> 02:10:03.840 and jewelry that I'm giving to charity basically for under 2668 02:10:04.600 --> 02:10:07.300 every piece will be under 50. I would say like 2669 02:10:07.340 --> 02:10:09.939 dresses 15 to 25. And some of these coats are 2670 02:10:09.979 --> 02:10:13.939 probably 400, $ 500. And all of the money, every single 2671 02:10:14.000 --> 02:10:16.079 penny of it is going to go to a cause 2672 02:10:16.479 --> 02:10:19.979 nursing home warrior. And this woman goes across New York 2673 02:10:20.350 --> 02:10:24.670 and brings pop-ups, shops to nursing homes so that the people, 2674 02:10:24.729 --> 02:10:27.109 the residents can come down and shop for free. She's 2675 02:10:27.149 --> 02:10:29.720 an angel here on earth. So all of the clothes 2676 02:10:29.739 --> 02:10:32.600 that I wore on television going to this great cause, 2677 02:10:32.640 --> 02:10:37.930 the Harrison on Tuesday, nothing over $ 50. hundreds of items. 2678 02:10:38.250 --> 02:10:41.430 Hugs are for free.

And listen, 2680 02:10:46.789 --> 02:10:48.760 I know you got a lot of male fans out 2681 02:10:48.770 --> 02:10:51.680 there listening. Buy the ticket for your wife. She will 2682 02:10:51.800 --> 02:10:54.579 love you. This is a great present for your wife. 2683 02:10:54.600 --> 02:10:57.960 You'd be surprised. 48% of my listeners are female, believe 2684 02:10:58.020 --> 02:10:58.340 it or not. 2685 02:10:58.359 --> 02:10:59.260 Go girl! 2686 02:10:59.340 --> 02:11:02.000 Yeah, this isn't the fam.

They love it. 2690 02:11:10.119 --> 02:11:13.590 But this specific event, this woman that you're talking about, 2691 02:11:13.649 --> 02:11:15.930 my God, what is her name? Who is this lady? 2692 02:11:15.949 --> 02:11:16.529 She's amazing. 2693 02:11:17.229 --> 02:11:22.609 She's amazing. Her name is Danielle, and she has been 2694 02:11:22.930 --> 02:11:26.729 in nursing homes for 35 years. She's a nutritionist. You 2695 02:11:26.770 --> 02:11:29.909 should have her on your program. She started this charity 2696 02:11:30.170 --> 02:11:33.760 because she realized that a lot of these residents don't 2697 02:11:33.899 --> 02:11:38.020 have visitors, don't have family, and they barely get stipends 2698 02:11:38.100 --> 02:11:41.380 for clothing. So she goes in and she gets clothes 2699 02:11:41.420 --> 02:11:46.409 from all over the place, from big chains. and barely 2700 02:11:46.510 --> 02:11:48.369 use clothes and they go in and they think they 2701 02:11:48.409 --> 02:11:52.109 have to pay for these items and they're for free. 2702 02:11:52.649 --> 02:11:56.289 So she's just amazing. Her cause is nursing home warrior, 2703 02:11:56.710 --> 02:12:00.909 lots of volunteers, but it just warms my heart because 2704 02:12:00.930 --> 02:12:04.789 I lost my in-laws in nursing homes during the pandemic. 2705 02:12:04.829 --> 02:12:07.729 So I'm trying to give back to all of those 2706 02:12:08.260 --> 02:12:11.399 residents that some of them are left behind and we 2707 02:12:11.439 --> 02:12:12.399 have to love them too. 2708 02:12:13.590 --> 02:12:17.390 Let me ask you this. How many boats, Janice Dean, 2709 02:12:18.449 --> 02:12:25.310 did Christopher Columbus use? Shut up, Lou. In 1492, in 2710 02:12:25.390 --> 02:12:30.069 his courageous trip when he found America.

I won a prize. 2733 02:13:21.220 --> 02:13:25.039 No, you're not going to win a prize. But you're 2734 02:13:25.060 --> 02:13:26.739 going to be like, oh, my God.
