Speaker 1: Just Sid and Friends in the morning, entertaining and informative.
Speaker 2: On the Red Apple Podcast Networks.
Speaker 3: Sid Rosenberg Aria, Sid, do you want to come up here?
Speaker 4: Said Mark?
Speaker 5: Should I let Sid come up? Mark? I think so?
Speaker 5: Come on Sid.
Speaker 6: So Sid's got the number one radio show in New York,
Speaker 6: got the number one radio show in New York like by.
Speaker 5: Far Blues Blake. Do you not work for the Portothary
Speaker 5: at one point?
Speaker 7: I know you did. I was a Commissioner of the
Speaker 7: Port Authority of New York and New Jersey for eight years.
Speaker 5: Eight years the Port Authority. So this is going to
Speaker 5: hit close to home for you. We're about to commemorate
Speaker 5: twenty five years. I know you listen to me every day.
Speaker 5: I am beating this drama. I had Bill Donnie you
Speaker 5: want from the Copic League. He's written a long letter
Speaker 5: urging Mamdanie not the com nine to eleven. I brought
Speaker 5: on survivors, victims, the families. I put on the guy
Speaker 5: that started the petitian. I'm bringing on another lady. Pay
Speaker 5: him on a mission to keep this mayor away.
Speaker 8: Now.
Speaker 5: I know I can't do it, and I know the
Speaker 5: odds are stacked against me, but I also know that
Speaker 5: the overwhelming majority, not even the overwhelming majority of nine
Speaker 5: to eleven families, don't want this anti American mayor there.
Speaker 5: So I'm not asking you whether you think he'll come
Speaker 5: or not, or if you all governor, if you would
Speaker 5: stop him from coming or not. I want, as a
Speaker 5: guy that worked with a port authority who lost people
Speaker 5: that day, I want you to tell me do you
Speaker 5: think the mayor should show up?
Speaker 7: Well, first of all, said, I don't know if you
Speaker 7: know this or not, but my nephew was murdered on
Speaker 7: that day. No, Sergeant Tommy Jurgens, my sister Linda's older boy.
Speaker 9: Oldest boy.
Speaker 7: I'm sorry, six years old Army veteran volunteer firefighter, New
Speaker 7: York State Court officer, was giving first day to a
Speaker 7: woman who was severely burned in Tower two when it
Speaker 7: collapsed on him. We never got a body or DNA.
Speaker 7: We don't. He got his side arm and his badge.
Speaker 7: So it's very personal to me. I am a family
Speaker 7: member and I don't think zoron Mundanmi should go. It's
Speaker 7: as if you know someone's having a wake and they
Speaker 7: asked you not to go to the wake for personal reasons.
Speaker 7: You wouldn't go. So I mean, I don't think he
Speaker 7: should go. But here's where I'm going to say. If
Speaker 7: he's hell bent on going, I think people have a
Speaker 7: way to respectfully protest that. Turn your back on him,
Speaker 7: don't say anything to him, don't make a ruckus, be
Speaker 7: solemn because it is a solemn day. Just turn your
Speaker 7: back on him.
Speaker 5: Much like the compsit to booth the basil years ago, right,
Speaker 5: same thing, same thing, group of city homeowners.
Speaker 10: Homeowners say that Mayor mum Donnie bungled the new pieda
Speaker 10: tear tax and is now suing to delay implementation of
Speaker 10: this controversial surcharge. Political reporter Marsha Kramer has the story.
Speaker 11: It was a taunting social media post which Mayor Mondonni
Speaker 11: gleefully told owners of people he believed had second homes
Speaker 11: with more than five million dollars and co ops and
Speaker 11: condos worth more than one million dollars to expect new
Speaker 11: tax bills. Now, homeowners are striking back, saying the mayor
Speaker 11: botched the rollout. Many who actually lived full time in
Speaker 11: their homes were.
Speaker 12: On the list.
Speaker 13: Mayor Mondanie wanted to make a splashy headline with the
Speaker 13: second home search charge, but his administration violated the law
Speaker 13: and implementing it. It's been a total debacle, and the
Speaker 13: way they rolled this out violated the state law that
Speaker 13: authorized them to implement it in the first place in
Speaker 13: fundamental ways.
Speaker 11: Attorney Randy Mastro, who followed the suit, says the way
Speaker 11: the city did it, listing nine hundred thousand people on
Speaker 11: a list of people who could be subject to the
Speaker 11: tax and sending letters to seventeen thousand others unfairly puts
Speaker 11: the burden approof on homeowners to establish their full time
Speaker 11: city residents.
Speaker 13: It's both legal and it's unfair, and it's unconscionable because
Speaker 13: now thousands of homeowners have been put in jeopardy. Thousands
Speaker 13: of homeowners are seeking and having to pay for professional
Speaker 13: advice lawyer's accountants on how to make this application for
Speaker 13: an exemption.
Speaker 11: The Mayor's office insis is doing everything possible to fix things, saying, quote,
Speaker 11: the Department of Finance has been working around the clock
Speaker 11: to answer questions, provide assistance, and ensure those subjects of
Speaker 11: the search charge have the information they need. We extended
Speaker 11: the exemption application deadline to September eighteenth. Updated our online guidance.
Speaker 10: So, Marsha, let's talk more about this tax because I'd
Speaker 10: like to understand something specifically. Is this suit is it
Speaker 10: seeking to actually kill the tax?
Speaker 11: Well, actually, right now, it's seeking an injunction to delay
Speaker 11: implementation because they say there are so many flaws in
Speaker 11: the way it was rolled out. And one of the
Speaker 11: things this suit takes issue with is a list of
Speaker 11: seventeen thousand people who got tax notices. The suit says
Speaker 11: it was over broad, and as evidence, I point to
Speaker 11: the fact that sixty eight hundred people, that's forty percent
Speaker 11: of the people who are on the list, have either
Speaker 11: filed an exemption or in the process of filing an exemption.
Speaker 10: All right, sounds like there's a big cleanup to be
Speaker 10: made my city Hall here.
Speaker 5: The America hating jew hating abdul El sayed with Jake
Speaker 5: Tapper go to see of CNN yesterday.
Speaker 3: I want them to live in America where they can
Speaker 3: breathe clean air and drink clean water.
Speaker 14: And actually, Sara and I like each other.
Speaker 15: I don't know about the first Lady and the President,
Speaker 15: but from what I've heard, it's.
Speaker 5: A bit of a rocky road.
Speaker 16: Prime Minister Benjamin Ettanya who publicly rejecting a Trump backed
Speaker 16: fifteen point piece plan while reaffirming that Hamas cannot have weapons.
Speaker 16: This says Iran is issuing new demands over the straight
Speaker 16: of war moves. Fox News Chief Foreign correspondent Trey Yins
Speaker 16: is live from Tel Aviv with more Right.
Speaker 14: Yeah, Hey, Peter, good morning.
Speaker 17: While the Middle East waits to see if an agreement
Speaker 17: can be reached to reopen the Strait of Warmuz, Iranian
Speaker 17: officials are issuing new demands around. Supreme National Security Council
Speaker 17: released fresh demands over the weekend, calling on the United
Speaker 17: States to permanently end the war and compensate Iran for
Speaker 17: damages before the strait would reopen. This does come, as
Speaker 17: Iran's four Minister says, even if a deal is reached,
Speaker 17: it doesn't necessarily mean the strait will stay open.
Speaker 18: We have been discussing the temporary route and we are
Speaker 18: very close to reaching a conclusion. Work is being carried
Speaker 18: out based on the maps of this route prepared by
Speaker 18: the enforces. Negotiations have taken place between the navies of
Speaker 18: the two countries and the details are being finalized.
Speaker 5: I believe we will be.
Speaker 18: Able to conclude these negotiations very soon.
Speaker 17: Conversations about the straightcome as the US naval blockade of
Speaker 17: Iranian ports remains in effect, costing the regime hundreds of
Speaker 17: millions of dollars each day, and according to the US
Speaker 17: Central Command, as of August eighth, centcom redirected y three
Speaker 17: commercial vessels disabled to and boarded to. The US military
Speaker 17: has also permitted more than thirty ships to pass through
Speaker 17: the blockade for humanitarian aid. Vice President jad Vance told
Speaker 17: Fox News the US pressure on Iran will continue.
Speaker 19: They're hurting in a big way.
Speaker 5: They want this thing to be over.
Speaker 16: The question is whether they're able, their system is able
Speaker 16: to give the things that are necessary for us to
Speaker 16: be happy, for us to feel like we've gotten what.
Speaker 5: We need out of this particular engagement.
Speaker 16: That is still to be determined, But I do think
Speaker 16: that we've made some progress over the last few days with.
Speaker 5: Talks on going.
Speaker 17: Iranian proxies remain active. The Yemen based Houthies launched a
Speaker 17: new attack on Saudy oil refineries. The Houthies have launched
Speaker 17: several attacks in the region over the past week.
Speaker 20: Welcome back to America, Senator Tom Cott. It seems to
Speaker 20: be the Democrat Party is not a silent partner junior
Speaker 20: partner in this. It is trying to run interference so
Speaker 20: we can't deport illegal aliens and we can'tupport these people.
Speaker 20: They they push judges through, as you're well aware, who
Speaker 20: are radical leftists who throw barriers in the front of
Speaker 20: the administration trying to address these issues and so forth.
Speaker 20: There's a few Democrats who speak up, a very few.
Speaker 20: Is this now the Democrat Party?
Speaker 21: As I contend well, Mark, you said, there's a few
Speaker 21: Democrats that's a little bit higher than.
Speaker 7: I can count.
Speaker 21: The only one I see around the United States Senate,
Speaker 21: for instance, is John Fetterman. And John's a Democrat, as
Speaker 21: he said, you know, John has a lot of views
Speaker 21: that I don't share on economic policy or in social policy.
Speaker 5: But John's a.
Speaker 21: Patriot, and John believes that his party has gone down
Speaker 21: a dark path towards anti Israeli sentiment, anti Semitic sentiment, socialism.
Speaker 21: I don't see any other Democrats out there like him.
Speaker 22: Hi spent twelve years of blood, sweating, tears making sure
Speaker 22: that Donald Trump is going to get elected. Nobody did
Speaker 22: what I did for him, and I will take a
Speaker 22: bullet for that man.
Speaker 23: Tomorrow, there was a medical emergency involving well known Staten
Speaker 23: Island artist activist Scott Lobato. Officials say Lobato suffered cardiac
Speaker 23: arrests Tuesday evening during the NYPD's National Night Out event
Speaker 23: at Midland Beach. Witnesses say the incident happened after Lobato
Speaker 23: attempted to confront New York City Mayor Mom Donnie during
Speaker 23: a speech. First responders rushed to the scene, performing immediate
Speaker 23: CPR and using a defibrillator to revive him. Police and
Speaker 23: EMS rushed the artist to a local hospital. Friends share
Speaker 23: online that he is awake, smiling, and recovering now. APB
Speaker 23: News caught up with Lobato a number of times to
Speaker 23: view his work and speak with him about issues he
Speaker 23: is passionate about.
Speaker 22: I'm a conservative honist and we don't want to change
Speaker 22: the art community and make it conservative. We just want
Speaker 22: our fair share because for thirty five years, thirty five
Speaker 22: years ago, I saw how disgusting the AWK world was
Speaker 22: and how one sided, and that you know, if you
Speaker 22: don't abide by the isms of their leading club, and
Speaker 22: you're a conservative Trump supporter of Republicanan flagway.
Speaker 9: But you're not an artist.
Speaker 22: So I left them years ago and I continued my
Speaker 22: battle promoting America.
Speaker 6: New Yorkers need to show the rest of the world
Speaker 6: that we own new Yorkers.
Speaker 24: Well, the President of the United States stumpfew Donald Trump
Speaker 24: will come out and for a rally for you.
Speaker 25: It's not public yet, but I think we'll be seeing
Speaker 25: Donald Trump in New York very soon.
Speaker 24: It'll be nice. And who's going to be the ringmaster?
Speaker 24: Sid Sid Rosenberg? Is he going to have Is he
Speaker 24: going to have a position in government if you get elected?
Speaker 13: Uh?
Speaker 25: Sid said he might be running for mayor, I mean
Speaker 25: good mayor. What do you think, zev?
Speaker 5: I think?
Speaker 24: So I asked that question. The problem is his wife
Speaker 24: won't let him. So I asked him the question. If
Speaker 24: the President of the United States calls you up and says, Sid,
Speaker 24: I need you to run for may while you run
Speaker 24: tough one, he'll be the mayor, he'll be the president
Speaker 24: or his wife and he was He hesitated for a
Speaker 24: moment or two.
Speaker 25: Well, I'm sure Danielle doesn't want him to take the
Speaker 25: pay cut. But listen, Sid is a great guy. You know,
Speaker 25: he's a dear friend of mine, and he's a patriot
Speaker 25: and a proud Jew.
Speaker 5: Danielle and I my beautiful wife. We took our walk
Speaker 5: which we take often. Sometimes we just walked the beach
Speaker 5: up by Rhees Park where we live, and sometimes you
Speaker 5: go the opposite direction, and we walked to the gym
Speaker 5: which is about thirty one blocks away. My dear friend
Speaker 5: Seawan Sarone burned fitness in rock Away. Then we work
Speaker 5: out for an hour which I did and she did,
Speaker 5: and then we head back out back on the boardwalk
Speaker 5: for the walk home. That was awesome. Then we had
Speaker 5: a beautiful breakfast and did some other errands and eventually
Speaker 5: my friend Moschef picked me up at about one point
Speaker 5: thirty yesterday afternoon and I made my way to West
Speaker 5: Hampton for a great event. Boots for Israel did a
Speaker 5: spectacular job. So a lot of friends. I want to
Speaker 5: get to all of them during this program today. So
Speaker 5: not every day, it's like Sunday because on Monday and
Speaker 5: we're back in our studios. But we love this show.
Speaker 5: We love our jobs. Me Lewis, Noam, Joe Nolan Elick,
Speaker 5: and we give you the best damn show on radio
Speaker 5: every day anywhere in this country. Now, I'm not just
Speaker 5: saying that I can't go anywhere these days without getting
Speaker 5: mod A couple of hundred people at this event in
Speaker 5: the Hamptons last night, and I don't think President Trump
Speaker 5: would get treated any better. I really don't know. I
Speaker 5: know that sounds crazy, but I really don't. These people
Speaker 5: they just love this show. They love it. I mean,
Speaker 5: some of these women are almost in tears. Do you
Speaker 5: think I'm exaggerating now, Lou, you've seen this, but no,
Speaker 5: we think I'm exaggerating.
Speaker 14: They were in tears. That might I might be an exaggeration. No,
Speaker 14: like tears like they're seeing Michael Jackson.
Speaker 5: Yeah, kind of like that. Yeah, yeah, tears, yeah, kind
Speaker 5: of like that. You've seen the Trump But no, I've
Speaker 5: never seen anything you have seen that. You've seen people
Speaker 5: get WILLI emos some where they see you yet close
Speaker 5: that lady at the very last a couple of months ago,
Speaker 5: she was almost in tears. You were right down.
Speaker 12: She was just being yeah, okay.
Speaker 5: Okay, you can use every word you want. But these people,
Speaker 5: they loved this. They go nuts. They almost cried like,
Speaker 5: oh my god, I love you. I don't know what
Speaker 5: I would do without you every morning, my but Papa,
Speaker 5: it's really lovely really as I love it.
Speaker 12: Listen, you don't have to cry. I'm gonna be here.
Speaker 12: I come, my heir right.
Speaker 5: I'll see you tomorrow morning, sweetheart. Don't you worry. Yeah,
Speaker 5: I'm gonna keep fighting. It's too hot in here, justin
Speaker 5: getting here. It's too hot in his damn studio. So
Speaker 5: it's a great, great event. I'll get to it. But
Speaker 5: I purposely wrapped book ended if you will, the open
Speaker 5: put together in extraordinary fashion again by Justin Ellick with
Speaker 5: our dear brand the man who will be the next
Speaker 5: governor here in New York, Bruce Blateman. I got a
Speaker 5: very big week coming up with Bruce Blateman. I can't
Speaker 5: give away all of it yet, but it's a very
Speaker 5: very big week. My amazing son, Gabriell continues to work
Speaker 5: for Bruce. He's now extended his I guess what do
Speaker 5: you call that? Interns Day? A lot of the kids
Speaker 5: were done August the seventh, and Gabe may take this
Speaker 5: thing right up until Labor Day when he starts his
Speaker 5: senior year in high school. That's how much he loves
Speaker 5: Bruce Blakeman. He loves the Chief, he loves Chris Boyle.
Speaker 5: He loves the whole group. Bruce is doing a great job.
Speaker 5: So we started the open with Bruce on this show. Listen.
Speaker 5: He was on the show eight thirty Friday morning. You
Speaker 5: know what makes me laugh at home is the reason
Speaker 5: why I love doing the mornings is not because I
Speaker 5: like getting up at three and I hated but we
Speaker 5: get to all the stories first. So I hate to
Speaker 5: sound like a dick, but the rest of the day,
Speaker 5: no one says anything that's really new and or authentic
Speaker 5: because I've already gotten to it. Okay, So the New
Speaker 5: York Post did a story a couple of days ago
Speaker 5: about what Blakeman said about nine to eleven. No, it didn't.
Speaker 5: He said it on our show hours before Fox News Digital.
Speaker 5: No they didn't. He said it on our show hours
Speaker 5: before yesterday. And I love this lady a lover. On Sundays,
Speaker 5: Maria bought Romo. He didn't break news on her show.
Speaker 5: He said it on our show at eight thirty in
Speaker 5: the morning, three or four days before. So the truth
Speaker 5: is nine times out of ten, unless something breaks the
Speaker 5: night before, you're gonna get it here. Is that accurate?
Speaker 14: That's absolutely true? Right, Unlike the crying, that is true.
Speaker 5: The crying is true. I'm telling you it's absolutely true.
Speaker 5: It is. And by the way, more than once, many many, many,
Speaker 5: many times make it worse.
Speaker 14: I swear to God many times, many times, like once,
Speaker 14: I sort of believe, I tell you many times once.
Speaker 5: At at least once at every event, I go to
Speaker 5: swear to God on my father, on my dead father. Yeah,
Speaker 5: I'm gonna take it easy. He sounded like Ben Stiller
Speaker 5: and something about Mary is.
Speaker 3: Crying.
Speaker 5: Oh my god? Yeah, why would I make that up?
Speaker 5: At that?
Speaker 12: More sad that you actually have now believed.
Speaker 5: Well, not sad is that you guys are calling me
Speaker 5: a liar because you don't want to believe the truth.
Speaker 5: It's one hundred percent. At least once at every event,
Speaker 5: somebody goes to that extreme, to that extreme.
Speaker 12: People are fans.
Speaker 5: No no, it's not fan no, no, no, no, no, no fans.
Speaker 5: Is I shake your hand in the street. I listen
Speaker 5: every morning, said good job. No, these women get emotional,
Speaker 5: driven to tears.
Speaker 14: Sometimes has anybody fainted yet?
Speaker 5: No, that hasn't happened. Stories true story, you guys. Uh.
Speaker 5: And by the way, this is what assholes you guys are.
Speaker 5: You're part of the show. You're part of the success.
Speaker 5: You would think you would revel in all this because
Speaker 5: you're part of the reason why they love me, But
Speaker 5: you're so jealous and stupid that you just refuse to
Speaker 5: accept it. Why would I lie about something like this?
Speaker 5: What are you dumb? Because no, no, no, no, no no,
Speaker 5: it's one hundred percent you and you guys are a
Speaker 5: part of it. So congratulations, you actually emote, You make
Speaker 5: these people emote. That type of emotion happened again last
Speaker 5: night at least two ladies. They were like, oh, oh
Speaker 5: my god. I mean at the Saint Patrick's State parade
Speaker 5: and shared Lopez saw this ladies walking down part of
Speaker 5: the procession. She starts to run full speed, yelling, oh
Speaker 5: my god, oh my god. I've been waiting my whole
Speaker 5: life to meet you now making this up right, don't
Speaker 5: be stupid, of course I'm not. This happens all the time,
Speaker 5: and it's surreal from me, and it's kind of silly
Speaker 5: to your point, to both of you guys points, it's
Speaker 5: even sillier to me. But it happens. And last night,
Speaker 5: I'll tell you these people West Hampton, I love that
Speaker 5: group because I'm always killing the Hamptons. I'm always saying
Speaker 5: it's to wasstentatious. People annoy me. They're too impress with themselves.
Speaker 5: Not last night, they were good people, crying patriots, good people.
Speaker 5: So the first part of the Blakeman deal was him
Speaker 5: talking about nine to eleven. I did not know that
Speaker 5: his nephew, His nephew was Sergeant Tommy Jurgens was killed
Speaker 5: on nine to eleven. I never knew that Bruce Blakeman
Speaker 5: was actually a family member. So that made me sad.
Speaker 5: His oldest sister Linda her son. So he's he's very
Speaker 5: emotional when it comes to nine to eleven. And he
Speaker 5: said on this show first before Fox Digital and the
Speaker 5: New York Polist and Maria that what people should do
Speaker 5: there is be respectful and just turn their backs. And
Speaker 5: I brought up the time when all the cops turned
Speaker 5: their backs onto Blasio and he said, yes, the same thing,
Speaker 5: and that's all shocking, you know again, he said, you
Speaker 5: know he's running for and you would expect him to say,
Speaker 5: and this is why he's a great choice for governor
Speaker 5: because Hokeel would say, no, he's the mayor. He want
Speaker 5: barn Square and every mayor goes he should be there
Speaker 5: because She's got no guts, You's got nothing. She's the
Speaker 5: wicked witch. But Blakeman speaks from a place of a
Speaker 5: real New Yorker, worked at the Port Authority, saw those
Speaker 5: buildings come down. Speaks from a place of emotion. He's
Speaker 5: a guy you gotta love. She's nothing. She's a robot.
Speaker 5: Kathy Hokel is a corrupt robot. That's all she is.
Speaker 5: There's no emotion. She's barely human, barely. But Blakeman, I
Speaker 5: love what he said on the show a couple of
Speaker 5: days ago. Then on the end of the open he
Speaker 5: was a guest of our dear friend zeb Brenner. You
Speaker 5: like Zev?
Speaker 14: No, my love, Zeb, I just talked to Zev Actually
Speaker 14: last week did you really have about what? It was accidental?
Speaker 14: I was trying to call my brother Zev, and I
Speaker 14: had said, hey, Siri calls Ev and I called Zev
Speaker 14: Brenn instead, and I had a nice little conversation with him.
Speaker 5: Really. Yeah, he's such a great guy, yees be a
Speaker 5: very nice guy, very very nice guy. And he does
Speaker 5: this radio show. He comes on very late this time
Speaker 5: of year because he always comes on after shops and
Speaker 5: the Sabbath ends late this time of year because it's
Speaker 5: light out very late. Sundown obviously comes on earlier in
Speaker 5: the winter. And he had Bruce Blateman on last week.
Speaker 5: And I go back over a year ago. I was
Speaker 5: at an event in Jamaica, Queens the Young Israel event.
Speaker 5: Yakov Searle and Zev was interviewing people there. He interviewed
Speaker 5: me over a year ago, and he asked me about
Speaker 5: this potential run for mayor, and I put pulled it.
Speaker 5: I'm like, a come on, Danielle doesn't want that. It's
Speaker 5: a major pay cut and she doesn't want all the
Speaker 5: nonsense that goes with wanning for office. And you know,
Speaker 5: I'm kind of waiting for Trump. Yes, Larry Trump said
Speaker 5: she loves it. Bruce Plateman keeps talking about it, Mike
Speaker 5: Waller loves it. A lot of folks with a lot
Speaker 5: of political power actually love it. But I've never really
Speaker 5: taken it seriously. You know. Michael Rappaport, I think he's
Speaker 5: taking it more seriously. Even this Dave Portnoy. Almost everything
Speaker 5: he talks about now is running for mayor. You've got
Speaker 5: John Shell, former Cheap of Department, He's running for mayor.
Speaker 5: It's like a thousand people most people still think the
Speaker 5: current police Commissioner, Jessica Tish Sh'll run for mayor something,
Speaker 5: despite her saying no, that the current Speaker of the
Speaker 5: City Council, Julie Menin, may run for mayor. But it
Speaker 5: seems like I'm the guy they always talk about and
Speaker 5: write about, and I keep saying I don't see it happening,
Speaker 5: but Bruce Blakeman keeps bringing it up. And when not if,
Speaker 5: when Bruce Blakman wins in November and he becomes governor,
Speaker 5: that may require a long discussion between me and daniell know,
Speaker 5: because he really wants me to run. If he wins,
Speaker 5: that would be quite a combination Blakeman and Rosenberg running
Speaker 5: New York State, New York City. I think people would
Speaker 5: like that. That'd be crazy.
Speaker 14: Can you imagine how many women would be crying and
Speaker 14: fainting them?
Speaker 5: Oh, he's also a very handsome guy, Bruce Blateman. And
Speaker 5: you may not know this was a boxer.
Speaker 14: Did you know that I did.
Speaker 5: Big time boxer? You could fight? Oh my god. You know,
Speaker 5: it's funny to say that. There was a woman last
Speaker 5: night who didn't thank me for running, but basically did
Speaker 5: that and asked me to run. Please, can you please run?
Speaker 5: She goes, I got a lot of money. She's in
Speaker 5: the happens. I know a lot of people with a
Speaker 5: lot of money. I can get you money. To Margot sweet,
Speaker 5: I'll take it easy. Give me a couple of months. Anybody,
Speaker 5: and now I'm gonna run. I'll let you know. I
Speaker 5: have no idea who she is. Out of contact her,
Speaker 5: but she was that emotional last night when she said,
Speaker 5: please run for mayor. That's exactly you must have been
Speaker 5: there with me, Lewis I must have been This is uh.
Speaker 5: Bruce Blateman with zeb Brenner was in the open well
Speaker 5: play it again, cutting off number one. He says Sid
Speaker 5: would make a great mayor.
Speaker 24: Will the President of the United States stump for you?
Speaker 24: Donald Trump will come out and for a rally for you.
Speaker 25: Um, it's not public yet, but I think we'll be
Speaker 25: seeing Donald Trump in New York very soon.
Speaker 24: It'll be nice. And who's going to be the ringmaster?
Speaker 24: Sid sid Rosenberg? Is he gonna have Is he going
Speaker 24: to have a position in government? If you get elected?
Speaker 25: Sid said, he might be running for mayor. I mean,
Speaker 25: make a good mayor. What do you think, Zev?
Speaker 24: I think such I asked him that question. The problem
Speaker 24: is his wife won't let him. So I asked him
Speaker 24: the question. If the President of the United States calls
Speaker 24: you up and says, Sid, I need you to run
Speaker 24: for may while you run tough one, he'll be the mayor.
Speaker 24: He will be the president or his wife and he
Speaker 24: was he hesitated for a moment or two.
Speaker 25: Well, I'm sure Danielle doesn't want him to take the
Speaker 25: pay cut. But listen, Sid is a great guy. You know,
Speaker 25: he's a dear friend of mine, and he's a patriot
Speaker 25: and a proud you.
Speaker 5: So we're going to bring on later on today. Thank
Speaker 5: you for that, Brus. Getting back to the start of
Speaker 5: the open, we talked about Blakeman saying that the nine
Speaker 5: to eleven family should turn their backs on this scumbag,
Speaker 5: radical Islam piece of garbage mayor, which he is all
Speaker 5: those things. So today we're going to bring back Giovanni
Speaker 5: Galante and he's the gentleman that started the nine to
Speaker 5: eleven petition. His wife, Grace was murdered back on nine
Speaker 5: to eleven. She was only twenty nine years old. He'll
Speaker 5: be back today and he's not coming alone. Another nine
Speaker 5: eleven family victim. Man by the name of Michael Wolfe.
Speaker 5: His wife, Catherine, was also killed that day. I know
Speaker 5: that Giovanni's wife worked at Cana Fitzgerald. I'm I'm pretty
Speaker 5: sure that that is the case, and he did send
Speaker 5: me the information where Catherine worked. She worked at Marsh
Speaker 5: and McLennan. So we're gonna have two husbands who both
Speaker 5: lost their wives on together at eight thirty this morning,
Speaker 5: Giovanni Gallante and Michael Wolfe, and both don't want Mayor
Speaker 5: Mom Donnie anywhere near that sacred site, despite what Elizabeth
Speaker 5: Miller had to say last Thursday. And I'm gonna play
Speaker 5: this for those guys, because I believe only one heard this.
Speaker 5: But if you missed it back and forth between me
Speaker 5: and Liz, which we did do Thursday, we played on Friday.
Speaker 5: Her father by a fighter, Doug Miller, was killed on
Speaker 5: nine to eleven, murdered, and she's okay with the mayor
Speaker 5: being there, even though the mayor is good buddies with
Speaker 5: people who, as I said to Liz Miller, said your
Speaker 5: father deserved to die. He deserved to die, America deserved
Speaker 5: nine to eleven. That seemed to I guess, go over
Speaker 5: her head. But if you missed it on Thursday and body.
Speaker 5: Here's a short synopsis of me and Elizabeth Miller as
Speaker 5: she tries to make the argument, despite her father being murdered,
Speaker 5: that the mayor should be there. Lewis cut number three.
Speaker 5: So I've been on this crusade ever since Monday, July
Speaker 5: the sixth. I promised you guys, I would be and
Speaker 5: I have been at the wishing our country a happy
Speaker 5: two fifty. On Saturday, July the fourth, the mayor tried
Speaker 5: to do that. It was the darkest most anti American speech.
Speaker 5: I've ever seen, no shock, but I promise you I
Speaker 5: would divert my attention focus on nine to eleven. I've
Speaker 5: done that, and I want to keep this mayor away
Speaker 5: and the overwhelming majority of people I speak to in
Speaker 5: this city, and I'm very famous. I speak to a
Speaker 5: lot of people. They agree nine to eleven families and
Speaker 5: just every person walking in the street, but not every
Speaker 5: single person does. So I was surprised to hear on
Speaker 5: the news a couple of days ago this young lady,
Speaker 5: Elizabeth Miller, God bless her, her father, God rest his soul,
Speaker 5: was killed on nine eleven a firefighter. I don't know,
Speaker 5: mister Miller. But I can tell you this, I love him.
Speaker 5: New York loves something, America loves him. So I was
Speaker 5: surprised to hear that she's okay with the mayor being
Speaker 5: in attendance, even though the mayor hangs out with people
Speaker 5: Hassan Piker, Chevalier, clerics who were co conspirators and the
Speaker 5: bombing of the Royal Trade Center in nineteen ninety three,
Speaker 5: hangs out with them, says nice things about them. This
Speaker 5: is not just your everyday politician you disagree with. This
Speaker 5: guy is friendly with, says nice things about people who
Speaker 5: said America deserved nine to eleven. I'm sorry he shouldn't
Speaker 5: be there. But Liz Miller, who's closer to the situation,
Speaker 5: she lost her relative, by lost friends, she says, it's okay,
Speaker 5: let's talk to her. Elizabeth, good morning, How.
Speaker 7: Are you good morning?
Speaker 10: How are you?
Speaker 7: Thank you for you know, taking the time to talk
Speaker 7: to me.
Speaker 5: No, no, of course, you made the point that you
Speaker 5: don't want the focus to be on anybody but the
Speaker 5: families and the victims, And boy do I agree, but
Speaker 5: you but you know you realize, Elizabeth, when that punk
Speaker 5: shows up that day, he's gonna get all all the attention,
Speaker 5: every camera shot. Family members will turn their backs, politicians
Speaker 5: will shine him. All they're gonna talk about that day.
Speaker 5: If this guy shows up is him. If he's not there,
Speaker 5: guess what. At the beginning of the telecast and maybe
Speaker 5: the beginning of your ceremony, they'll go no, Mayor, that'll
Speaker 5: be it. If he's there, he's gonna demand all the attention.
Speaker 5: Why would you want that?
Speaker 7: I think people are a lot of talk.
Speaker 26: I think people ask like like, and I'm not saying
Speaker 26: nihilon's families. I'm saying like politicians so like, you're gonna
Speaker 26: have him come? And I think think about this when
Speaker 26: President Trump had individuals like when signed you know, the petition,
Speaker 26: that he didn't want it.
Speaker 15: They didn't want him there.
Speaker 26: And again it wasn't of course as large, but he
Speaker 26: still came and the day wasn't about him.
Speaker 7: And listen, I'm a firm believer.
Speaker 8: Regardless of who you are as an elected official, I'm grateful.
Speaker 26: That you want to take the opportunity.
Speaker 7: To sit there and honor our loved ones.
Speaker 26: Whether I like you, whether I don't, whether I agree
Speaker 26: with all of your policy I don't.
Speaker 7: I think the other thing.
Speaker 5: You think that you think you're a very smart girl.
Speaker 5: You are. I'm not just I'm not patronizing you people
Speaker 5: yell at.
Speaker 7: I don't feel like you are.
Speaker 5: I'm not okay, But do you think that the mayor
Speaker 5: is honoring your loved ones? He couldn't care less at
Speaker 5: your father is dead, and I know that sounds really rough.
Speaker 5: He couldn't care less. He's showing up because he's still
Speaker 5: trying to snow people that he actually cares about this country,
Speaker 5: which he doesn't. He's not there to honor your father.
Speaker 5: He couldn't care less. He would much rather honor Mohammed Atta,
Speaker 5: who flew the damp plane into the building. Ouch. So
Speaker 5: the comedic actor John Stewart, Well, I think is on
Speaker 5: once a week he's got the Howard Stern schedule. I
Speaker 5: got to kick out of the Howard Stern News this
Speaker 5: weekend that he actually I guess there was some type
Speaker 5: of rule that his stamp knew that they couldn't talk
Speaker 5: to him. They go to parties, don't And I missed
Speaker 5: did the same thing, just so you know that wup
Speaker 5: end you couldn't even look at the eye man. You
Speaker 5: weren't allowed. He would walk in the newsroom and literally
Speaker 5: person by person, from the traffic people to the newspeople
Speaker 5: to the sports update people. They would look down. So Starn,
Speaker 5: I guess, was the same maniac the Iman was. But
Speaker 5: it works one day a week now, how it's turned,
Speaker 5: and I think Stewart does too, right, know home just
Speaker 5: Monday night, right, that's right? Yeah, So I don't know
Speaker 5: John Stewart. I've talked a little bit about John Stewart
Speaker 5: over the years, and believe it or not, even though
Speaker 5: he's a disgusting liberal and not nearly as smart as
Speaker 5: he thinks he is, and certainly not nearly as funny
Speaker 5: as he thinks he is, I think I've actually spent
Speaker 5: more time over the last couple of years giving John
Speaker 5: Stewart more credit than killing him, because talking about nine
Speaker 5: to eleven, John Stewart did help Peter King and others
Speaker 5: in making sure that the victims' families get compensated for
Speaker 5: a very very long time. The victims families members that
Speaker 5: are still dying. Remember nine to eleven was not a
Speaker 5: one day event. Twenty five years later, people are still
Speaker 5: getting sick and dying, and to his credit, unfunny John Stewart,
Speaker 5: he helped with that. So I always give him credit
Speaker 5: for that, but he's still a dick, and he came
Speaker 5: after me really hard out of nowhere after I made
Speaker 5: that appearance Super Bowl Sunday that night with Brian Kilmead
Speaker 5: on his show with Klay Travis, and I savaged the
Speaker 5: NFL for hiring Bad Bunny because in my opinion, he
Speaker 5: wasn't all that good. Not a great singer by any stretch. Okay, dancer,
Speaker 5: really stupid set. He made Puerto Rico look like a
Speaker 5: slum basically. And my big problem was he did a
Speaker 5: whole Super Bowl halftime show, the biggest American event in
Speaker 5: the world, in Spanish. That's not okay. I don't care
Speaker 5: how many people speak Spanish in Miami. I don't care.
Speaker 5: We are on English speaking country, the United States of America, Okay.
Speaker 5: I wouldn't want Yahoo to do the show next year
Speaker 5: in Hebrew. So I'm very consistent. So Stuart was pissed
Speaker 5: that I said he should have done in English. So
Speaker 5: the next night, Monday Night, on his show, he took games,
Speaker 5: specifically at me John Stewart. They didn't talk about the
Speaker 5: fact that the show should have been in English. Instead,
Speaker 5: he spent a good five minutes making fun of my
Speaker 5: ten called me thanos, which I see on Twitter every
Speaker 5: day now, the Jewish thanos. That's all people do, Purple said.
Speaker 5: Purple said, they don't even bother trying to argue any
Speaker 5: of my points anymore. They just make fun of my
Speaker 5: ten the most unattractive, ugliest people you'll ever see, okay,
Speaker 5: and they make fun of my tan all day. That's
Speaker 5: all they do. So Stuart interviewed John Fetterman last week
Speaker 5: and tried to sell John Fetterman, and you heard Tom
Speaker 5: Conton with Mark Levin say exactly what I say. I
Speaker 5: say it all the time, and John will join me today.
Speaker 5: I love John Katzman when he brings up common sense democrats.
Speaker 5: That's a unicorn. They don't exist. What do I say
Speaker 5: every time there's one? Do not say that? Known there's
Speaker 5: one one? One? John Bettaman, Do I not? Haven't I
Speaker 5: been saying that for a year, long time, long time.
Speaker 5: So it's nice to see Tom Cotton tell mankleb In
Speaker 5: the same thing which I've been saying for a year.
Speaker 5: It's amazing how many times every week on these shows
Speaker 5: these people vomit exactly what I say all the time.
Speaker 5: This one fetament Cotton's right. So Fetterman's on with Stewart
Speaker 5: and Stuart's going on and on about genocide and how
Speaker 5: bbi's a terrible person, and Fetterment, to his credit, keeps
Speaker 5: fighting back, keeps fighting back. So it compelled me to
Speaker 5: send an email to John Stewart because I was email address,
Speaker 5: and the title of the email goes, It's not genocide,
Speaker 5: you dumb F word. But I spelled out the F word,
Speaker 5: you know, And then in the actual email, I went
Speaker 5: on to say, I've never heard anyone sound less informed
Speaker 5: than you watching your conversation with Betterman. Please shut the
Speaker 5: f up, you dumb democrat. Do you mind dehumanizing? Shut
Speaker 5: the f up? And would you No?
Speaker 25: No?
Speaker 5: I sent out at five point thirty nine am on
Speaker 5: Friday morning that at ten forty four am Friday morning,
Speaker 5: I received an email back, No way I did.
Speaker 14: I thought for sure he would not respond to that.
Speaker 5: You can go to my Instagram account at Rosenberg dot Sydney.
Speaker 5: It's not at sid Rosenberg, folks at Rosenberg dot Sydney,
Speaker 5: or my Facebook account sid Rosenberg or my Twitter account
Speaker 5: sid Rosenberg nineteen not at sid Rosenberg. And I've got
Speaker 5: it all right there my original email to Stuart and
Speaker 5: his reply it's all right there, and he responded in
Speaker 5: John Stewart fashion by saying this, thanks for setting me straight,
Speaker 5: very helpful.
Speaker 14: That's funny.
Speaker 5: I called him dumb. I used to upward three times
Speaker 5: and he said, thanks for setting me straight, very helpful,
Speaker 5: your friend. You love John Stewart.
Speaker 14: No, I don't know if I love John Stewart, but
Speaker 14: I think he's pretty funny.
Speaker 5: He has his moments. I don't think he's pretty funny.
Speaker 5: He has his moments. I guess. I don't know. I
Speaker 5: don't find anybody funny anymore. I gotta be honest, you know,
Speaker 5: since Rodney Dangerfield and Richard Pryor and all those guys
Speaker 5: died like I barely lan, I really do enjoy sebast
Speaker 5: Man of Scalco. I'm not gonna lie like you too, now. Yeah,
Speaker 5: I like him.
Speaker 12: I've watched a lot of clips recently and he's good.
Speaker 5: He's funny, funny, really funny. He does tell me too.
Speaker 5: But for the most part, I watch these comedians and
Speaker 5: I don't get it. I don't know what do I know?
Speaker 12: Well, it's a dying art.
Speaker 5: I think it is a dying art, right, think.
Speaker 6: About it, because you don't see them on get up
Speaker 6: and do it on a talk show and they just.
Speaker 12: Dangerfield.
Speaker 5: No, come on, come on now, Lenny, Bruce Richard. I
Speaker 5: mean those guys, it was just a completely different era.
Speaker 5: They were great, you know, there was and of course
Speaker 5: maybe the greatest of all, George Colin, because but they
Speaker 5: said what they wanted to say, like I do, and
Speaker 5: people are all okay with it. Not this over sensitive
Speaker 5: society we live in today, which is really not that
Speaker 5: people say to me all the time, Sid, how do
Speaker 5: you say that stuff and keep a job? I go,
Speaker 5: what do you mean? What do you mean? There's millions
Speaker 5: and millions and millions of people that agree with me,
Speaker 5: and even the sometimes very rough way I say it,
Speaker 5: I'm not alone on an island. I'm not. In fact,
Speaker 5: I think I represent the majority. The problem is the
Speaker 5: minority is too loud, and they own the media. So
Speaker 5: everybody thinks the whole world thinks like MS NOW or
Speaker 5: CNN or some of these repugnant radio shows, and they don't.
Speaker 5: They don't. I give Americans more credit than that I do.
Speaker 5: There's the reason why President Trump got over seventy million votes.
Speaker 5: There's a reason why this show in a Blue City
Speaker 5: and a blue state got a seven point four on Friday,
Speaker 5: beat Curtis by six points in the demo, six points.
Speaker 5: He should retire today, and that move at nine o'clock
Speaker 5: with a new guy, he's gonna take the same drubbing
Speaker 5: a seven point four to a one point four. If
Speaker 5: I'm Curtis, I never go to work again. There's a
Speaker 5: reason why that's the case, because people do agree, and
Speaker 5: people are not as scared as they were three, four
Speaker 5: or five years ago, or certainly when you had a
Speaker 5: Democrat in the White House Joe Biden. So no, I'm
Speaker 5: not afraid to say how I feel. I'm not afraid
Speaker 5: to disagree with John Stewart with the curse on Twitter,
Speaker 5: or to tell you how I feel here, because I
Speaker 5: really believe, I really do, in my heart of hearts,
Speaker 5: that the majority of Americans are smart, patriotic and good
Speaker 5: people and agree with me. Many morons out there any more, runs,
Speaker 5: I get it, but I don't believe that the majority.
Speaker 5: All Right, what else is happening on? What I miss
Speaker 5: from this weekend?
Speaker 12: You know?
Speaker 14: Unfortunately some of it just really tragic.
Speaker 5: I don't know if you saw that, Oh yeah, I
Speaker 5: know where you're going. I'm gonna take a guest.
Speaker 7: Just go ahead.
Speaker 5: The mother and daughter who died in the boat.
Speaker 14: This is just a terrible story on so many levels.
Speaker 14: So they were on this mom and daughter, the infant
Speaker 14: and the mother twenty seven years old birthday. Yeah, they
Speaker 14: were out on a birthday celebration. Her boyfriend. The woman's
Speaker 14: name who passed away Sarah Sanchez. Her boyfriend said, I
Speaker 14: wanted to get my girlfriend out of the house for
Speaker 14: an evening on the town celebrate the fact that they
Speaker 14: have a new little girl. So they brought the little
Speaker 14: girl along and about ten thirty on Saturday night, for
Speaker 14: some reason, this motor boat they think it's just likely
Speaker 14: because it was overcrowded, flipped over in New York harboard
Speaker 14: and both the mom and the infant daughter died.
Speaker 5: Well, those the only two people who perish.
Speaker 7: That is.
Speaker 14: Yeah, they were able to grab twelve others.
Speaker 5: Twelve others, And I did read this morning that the
Speaker 5: is in big trouble. Yeah.
Speaker 14: So this captain Manuel Hernandez arrested charge with a whole
Speaker 14: bunch accounts of reckless endangerment and the Coastguard looking into
Speaker 14: whether this boat may have been operating as an illegal charter,
Speaker 14: and just some people who are experts on boats know
Speaker 14: a lot more about this than I do. Just looking
Speaker 14: at this motor boat. Said the issue was he probably
Speaker 14: just had way too many people on it.
Speaker 5: Boy, that's a terrible story. Yeah, terrible. What else you got, Let's.
Speaker 14: See, I'm trying to find something that's not terribly sad.
Speaker 5: No what it is?
Speaker 14: Well, No, this one's actually has a better ending. This
Speaker 14: five year old falling out of a fifth floor window
Speaker 14: of his Bronx apartment last night. He falls face first
Speaker 14: onto the ground. There's the neighbors out there that it's
Speaker 14: a nice night, it's about five thirty a night, and
Speaker 14: they hear this loud thought. They find this kid face
Speaker 14: first on the ground, rushing to the hospital. Now they
Speaker 14: say he's going to be okay. And what they think
Speaker 14: happened was they had the window guards on the apartment
Speaker 14: that he somehow squeezed through this window guards right before
Speaker 14: he fell. But the good part of that story is
Speaker 14: he's gonna be okay. And if you saw this over
Speaker 14: the weekend yesterday, Queen's Congressman Alexandria Ocassio Cortes was on
Speaker 14: one of the New shows I think it was ABC
Speaker 14: this week, and she says, yeah, she's really considering running
Speaker 14: for the White House in twenty twenty eight. She says,
Speaker 14: either that or she'll run for Senator Schumer's seat here
Speaker 14: in New York, but either way she likely won't be
Speaker 14: in Congress after twenty twenty eight.
Speaker 5: Now, I think she will elect to run for Senate
Speaker 5: because that'll be an easier path to victory. I really
Speaker 5: believe that. So I think she'll run for that and
Speaker 5: probably win. Even if my dear friend Liz Pipco runs,
Speaker 5: which I want her to. Some other names out there
Speaker 5: that may maybe eno Werner, Korf, they're not beating her.
Speaker 5: Bottom line is they're not beating her. So that's an
Speaker 5: easier pant of victory for AOC. And she's still so
Speaker 5: young that she can run for president in four years
Speaker 5: or eight years, all right, but she's gonna definitely gonna
Speaker 5: look to get out of Congress and do something bigger.
Speaker 5: She's a moron. I'm not just saying that because she
Speaker 5: was a bartender. I don't care. Bruce Willis was a bartender.
Speaker 5: He's a small guy. Not because she was a bartender
Speaker 5: or because you know, she she wears tight pants and
Speaker 5: flaunts the physical side that men tend to like. This
Speaker 5: listens to this woman speak. I mean in Germany last year,
Speaker 5: that was about three minutes of the most embarrassing talk
Speaker 5: I've ever heard. She got nothing right, nothing right, including
Speaker 5: whether the equator is so I don't know, I mean
Speaker 5: not not more the equators, the country, whether it's north
Speaker 5: or south of the equator. So. I look, she's gonna
Speaker 5: run eventually, and when she does run, she's going to
Speaker 5: be a force to be reckoned with. I'm telling you
Speaker 5: she really is, don't you think? No, yeah, oh yeah, yeah.
Speaker 14: Look, I mean she's I think, can you name somebody
Speaker 14: more famous in Congress than her? I think she's the
Speaker 14: most famous person in Congress.
Speaker 5: Well, I mean Elon ome was. I think she's probably is.
Speaker 5: Probably can't now that you said that. How about the Senate.
Speaker 5: I'm gonna bring Ron Johnson on today out of the
Speaker 5: great state of Wisconsin. They went on recess yesterday. I mean,
Speaker 5: they got like nothing done either. They pushed through all
Speaker 5: of Trump's seventy five of Trump's people, including Todd Blanche
Speaker 5: but no Save America Act. Nope, that's not done. It's
Speaker 5: like three or four major major issues that they did
Speaker 5: not solve. You know, they're off until September the fourteenth.
Speaker 5: September the fourteenth threw up for like five weeks. Yeah,
Speaker 5: me too. Reconciliation not done. So we'll talk to Ron
Speaker 5: Johnson about that coming up later on this morning. We'll
Speaker 5: also talk to Scott Lobato. That's why you had that
Speaker 5: news in the open. Scott went home on Friday. He
Speaker 5: had a bad day on Friday, but they still sent
Speaker 5: him home and we texted each other on Saturday and Sunday.
Speaker 5: So we'll get the latest from Scott, find out exactly
Speaker 5: what happened last Tuesday night when one moment he was
Speaker 5: yelling and screaming at Mamdani at a Raleigh and not
Speaker 5: long after that was laying motionless and dead, clinically dead
Speaker 5: for two minutes, flatlined on the ground on Staten Island.
Speaker 5: So we'll talk to Lobato, very emotional eight o'clock hour,
Speaker 5: coming away with two different husbands whose wives were killed
Speaker 5: on nine to eleven, murdered, and then Scott Lobato. All
Speaker 5: that coming up in the eight o'clock hour. Anything else, No,
Speaker 5: we've done.
Speaker 14: I mean, if you want to talk about Iran, you
Speaker 14: know when we left on Friday, the President said that
Speaker 14: he thought they were close to making a deal with Iran,
Speaker 14: and then that just blew up over the weekend and
Speaker 14: Ran said they're not even close. That there's so many
Speaker 14: things they need to make a deal, including these demands
Speaker 14: that they want to be paid out compensated for all
Speaker 14: the damage done in Iran and for violations of that
Speaker 14: memorandum of understanding that was signed so long ago. So
Speaker 14: it looks like we're nowhere closer than we were on Friday.
Speaker 5: Yeah. Too, We're nowhere closer than we ever. I'm so
Speaker 5: tired of saying this over and over again. It's never
Speaker 5: gonna happen. They will never ever ever do a deal.
Speaker 5: And if they do, one day at a complete desperation
Speaker 5: and they're not even close to being there yet. Sorry
Speaker 5: jd Vance, they won't comply. But how about the bulls
Speaker 5: on these guys? Now, now you're gonna pay us? I mean,
Speaker 5: you gotta love these guys. I am actually set to
Speaker 5: see Steve Whitcough on Friday night. I'll give you more
Speaker 5: details on that part of my big week coming up
Speaker 5: with Bruce Blakeman, but will take a break. I do
Speaker 5: want to get into this marvelish night last night in
Speaker 5: West Hampton booths for Israel, and then we've got five
Speaker 5: or six amazing guests stopping by on this Monday.

Speaker 5: little back and forth before I took the stage. My
Speaker 5: friend Elerdi. While you guys know Elerdi, former IDF soldier,
Speaker 5: the great Lerdy and her friend Alison Devlin. You also
Speaker 5: had Asher there last night, a brave IDEF soldier lives
Speaker 5: justin in Judea and Samaria and goes to that shool
Speaker 5: with SloMo kats and at front sure every now and then,
Speaker 5: and then a couple that I really love. It happened
Speaker 5: to be the neighbors to John Katz and Matides. And
Speaker 5: I've known about this guy for one hundred years from Brooklyn.
Speaker 5: We become good friends over the last year. And that
Speaker 5: is my man. Stu Podolski. Stewart owns the Empire Hotel.
Speaker 5: You know it used that I believe in Glama girls
Speaker 5: with name of that yea Glamager. It's right next door
Speaker 5: to PJ. Clark's, right across the street from Lincoln Center.
Speaker 5: He also owns the oldest and most beautiful hotel in
Speaker 5: New Jersey, the Berkeley Caterret in Asbury Park, and his
Speaker 5: wife surely is one of those people Lewis who starts
Speaker 5: to cry when she meets me in person, just so
Speaker 5: you know we're gonna Podo's wife.
Speaker 12: Okay, that's it.
Speaker 5: Good Shirley Podolski.
Speaker 12: So and that's how she cried. Tell me what she did.
Speaker 5: She didn't cry yesterday, okay, but she did cry over
Speaker 5: the phone once.
Speaker 12: I'm not saying I doubt doubt you on it.
Speaker 5: Yeah you did. You got of me ten times already.
Speaker 5: They're a great couple, by the way, great couple. I'm
Speaker 5: sure you've seen the signs for Podolski real Estate lou
Speaker 5: over the years in Brooklyn.
Speaker 12: And possibly, yes, yeah, you definitely have. It's got that
Speaker 12: little crying face on it.
Speaker 5: That's all funny. She didn't cry yesterday, surely. But they
Speaker 5: were there too, and it was just it was a
Speaker 5: great event. They raised a whole bunch of money because
Speaker 5: these soldiers, the idea f in Israel they need boots.
Speaker 5: I know it sounds crazy, but they need boots to fight,
Speaker 5: and it's become a big commodity. And this event was willing, terrific.
Speaker 5: I was happy to be there, so I'll mention it
Speaker 5: one more time before the end of today's show. But
Speaker 5: Boots for Israel dot com Israel, you can help out
Speaker 5: these brave idea of soldiers. Today, I was checking the
Speaker 5: list of people who donated. I did not see Tucker
Speaker 5: Carlson's name. Shocking. You're surprised about that name. I'm not Yeah,
Speaker 5: he's not donating to Boots of Israel.
Speaker 14: So Candice Owens, no, no, she's not on the listener.
Speaker 5: You know, I got it. I gotta rethink. I got
Speaker 5: not rethink. And I made this speech last night, and
Speaker 5: you know, the crowd enjoyed it. And I talked about
Speaker 5: Jadevnce and I have been very down on JD and
Speaker 5: I don't love him. You know, I've been on record
Speaker 5: for a year last August. Believe this, Lou and no
Speaker 5: remember Marco Rubio was on this show. It was a
Speaker 5: year ago last August. But I've told this a million
Speaker 5: times that when Marco ran for State Senate down in Florida,
Speaker 5: all the way back in twenty ten, his guy Alex Burgos,
Speaker 5: who's long gone, not dead, but long gone removed from Marco,
Speaker 5: contacted me on sports talk radio. He said, you know,
Speaker 5: Marco's a big sports fan. Marco's wife was a Miami
Speaker 5: Dupin cheerleader, and I told you guys that. And he
Speaker 5: loves the Miami teams, the heat, the Dolphins. He's a
Speaker 5: real fan. And he listened to me every morning in Miami,
Speaker 5: and Burgo said, listen, he's running percent it. He's a
Speaker 5: huge fan of yours. Maybe you'll bring him on. So
Speaker 5: it turned out there was a three man debate. Charlie
Speaker 5: crist at the time was the governor of Florida now
Speaker 5: with Ron DeSantis he was the governor, and another guy
Speaker 5: named Kendrick Meek no relation to Gregory Meeks and Queens
Speaker 5: and the three of them had this huge debate. And
Speaker 5: where did they debate? On My sports talk show at
Speaker 5: Frank's Ocean Mile on the beach in Fort Lauderdale, and
Speaker 5: Marco won. And to this day, fifteen years later, marcle
Speaker 5: just like Bruce Blakeman, is cook to give me credit
Speaker 5: for starting his political career. I love marcol Rubil. He
Speaker 5: is ready for this job. He is so ready for
Speaker 5: this job. But as we found out last week, even
Speaker 5: though Trump denied it, the next day, Trump is telling
Speaker 5: donors and everybody else JD's in line. I believe that's true.
Speaker 5: I believe that Trump has sent that message out. And
Speaker 5: I've told you this this audience for months that I
Speaker 5: think JD. Vance is the anointed one. So he's not
Speaker 5: my favorite, and to be honest, I'm not even sure
Speaker 5: I like him. I have tried to get him on
Speaker 5: the show. I am trying to build a relationship because,
Speaker 5: as I said in West Hampton yesterday, given the choice
Speaker 5: between JD. Vance and any Democrat except for maybe Fetterman, Okay,
Speaker 5: any Democrat, I'm gonna vote for JD. Vance. And I've
Speaker 5: got major issues with JD. And I think we need
Speaker 5: to fix them because Trump will be the first to
Speaker 5: tell you you're not going to win the presidency by having
Speaker 5: success in the state. You're not even gonna win the state.
Speaker 5: But it matters, especially come media time before a big election.
Speaker 5: Coming on sid Rosenberg's show matters and JD's never come on.
Speaker 5: And I've reached out to people in the White House,
Speaker 5: some very big people, and one person came back and
Speaker 5: told me I told you this little and no, and
Speaker 5: you justin a couple of weeks ago. Quote JD doesn't
Speaker 5: want to do radio, oh really, but he sat with
Speaker 5: Joe Rogan for three hours, but he doesn't do radio.
Speaker 5: So I'm trying to fix this, even though I'm not
Speaker 5: even through a JD Vans knows it's broken. One person
Speaker 5: said to me that the reason why JD won't come
Speaker 5: on is because he knows that President Trump has like
Speaker 5: six or seven of his favorite people and he doesn't
Speaker 5: want to mess with that. You believe that.
Speaker 14: No him, that sounds accurate.
Speaker 5: Yeah, he's like, no, it's it's a Trump guy and
Speaker 5: they'll probably see President Trump this week, so it doesn't
Speaker 5: mess with that. Look, I don't know what the real
Speaker 5: reason is. All I know is if he's going to
Speaker 5: be my party's candidate, we need to establish some type
Speaker 5: of relationship and you need to come on this show.
Speaker 5: That's the bottom line. No matter what I've said about him,
Speaker 5: he probably has no idea what I've said about him.
Speaker 5: And if he does, and he's not happy, so what
Speaker 5: we can fix it right now? Yeah, there's lots of time,
Speaker 5: lots of time we need to make sure a Republican wins.
Speaker 5: So again, Marco Rubio has been my first choice for
Speaker 5: a long time. But if he's going to just step aside,
Speaker 5: and that may work out, because you know, you just
Speaker 5: had four years of Trump. Maybe get eight years of Vance,
Speaker 5: then eight years of Marco. Now you got a twenty
Speaker 5: year Republican run. I'd signed for that today. When you
Speaker 5: twenty years of Republicans, President Trump to JD. Vance to
Speaker 5: Marco Rubio, if that's what they're thinking. JD's already right there,
Speaker 5: he's in the passenger seat. Vice presid said, let him
Speaker 5: do this and then Rubio runs and wins. That's great.
Speaker 5: If you can guarantee me twenty years of Trump, Vance
Speaker 5: and Rubio. I would sign up with that today. But
Speaker 5: I'm not sure we can guarantee that now, can we know?
Speaker 19: No?
Speaker 5: No, because Nome is gonna vote for Gavin Newsom AOC. Actually,
Speaker 5: but she doesn't run.
Speaker 14: I think she's gonna run.
Speaker 12: You'll write her in.
Speaker 5: How do you know? You think she's gonna run? What
Speaker 5: kind of who do you have?
Speaker 14: In the But you're not throwing water on it. When
Speaker 14: they keep asking her, she says, yeah, maybe she does.
Speaker 14: She just said yesterday they asked her, Yeah, but she said, yeah,
Speaker 14: I haven't rolled it out, That's what she said.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I guess she hasn't. You're right now, listen, we
Speaker 5: still got three plus years, right, Yeah, we got to
Speaker 5: worry about these midterms. First in November and no, no, no.
Speaker 5: One day I feel good about it, the next day,
Speaker 5: I don't done. I guess we'll see, right, what am
Speaker 5: I gonna do?
Speaker 12: Don't cry?
Speaker 5: Oh, I'll cry if we lose them at I will cry,
Speaker 5: then you would, and even every bit as bad as
Speaker 5: losing the midterms, I will cry. I will also cry
Speaker 5: at Bruce loses a because he's my brother and I
Speaker 5: love him personally and we've had a great run together.
Speaker 5: And b because the state will be finished. The city's
Speaker 5: already done. I don't care how many people show up
Speaker 5: at local bars and I see it. I'm in the
Speaker 5: city every now and then on a weeknight, it's hustle.
Speaker 5: It's bustle. People are laughing, having a great time. I mean,
Speaker 5: I stayed in the city Friday night because Danielle had
Speaker 5: a practice run. She's running the marathon, the New York
Speaker 5: City Marathon, for the sixth time, her forty first marathon overall,
Speaker 5: so now it becomes serious training time about ninety days out.
Speaker 5: So she had to do a seventeen mile run on Saturday,
Speaker 5: and she joined this group in the city. They run
Speaker 5: Central Park. I guess I don't know where they run.
Speaker 5: I don't care. So we stayed in the city on
Speaker 5: Friday night at my old hotel where they put me
Speaker 5: when my house had water damage on thirty third in
Speaker 5: part at uh Hilton, right by Wolfgangs. And the next
Speaker 5: day she left her at least six am to go running.
Speaker 5: I had to get an emergency root canal. My teeth
Speaker 5: haven't stopped bothering me for the better part of three months.
Speaker 5: Two teeth pulled, deep cleaning and now an emergency root
Speaker 5: canal on Saturday, and then I was free for like
Speaker 5: three hours. I didn't know they did this. They actually
Speaker 5: shut down these major city streets on the weekends, so
Speaker 5: Park Avenue is shut down and all you see is
Speaker 5: a steady flow, and I mean for hours hours, all
Speaker 5: you see is a steady flow of people running in
Speaker 5: the street. It's unreal. Yeah, we couldn't even We had
Speaker 5: to go from the East Side to the West Side
Speaker 5: Highway to get home because a lot of the east
Speaker 5: Side avenues and streets were closed. So these people can
Speaker 5: run in the streets. It's very nice, but it's a
Speaker 5: waste of money. Every single block has a cop are.
Speaker 5: I don't understand. People are getting still raped. Rape is
Speaker 5: up big time in this city. People are still getting
Speaker 5: punched across the face. I know, shootings and murders are down,
Speaker 5: but that's it. Every other major crime is up, every
Speaker 5: other major crime, and we're spending money to have cops
Speaker 5: sit in their cop car every weekend so these idiots
Speaker 5: can run down Park Avenue. My wife actually did run down,
Speaker 5: so I probably shouldn't say idiots. Well, she should be
Speaker 5: glad to run someplace else. But how do you explain that?
Speaker 6: Why don't they just close the street and leave, let
Speaker 6: the cops go, I don't know, have to sit there.
Speaker 5: I don't know. It's a good question. That they're on
Speaker 5: every street, corner, every street a waste, kind.
Speaker 12: Of a waste, okay, a big waste.
Speaker 5: But mom, diney all, we love our summers in New York.
Speaker 5: Everybody's having a great time. You got a cop on
Speaker 5: every corner, your dickhead? Have you seen this, knowme?
Speaker 14: You're talking about with the parades itself.
Speaker 5: No, not the parades. They call it summer streets or something.
Speaker 5: I don't know. Yah, thumbest thing I've ever seen. If
Speaker 5: they get down Park Avenue and they got a cop
Speaker 5: on every corner. Who's paid for that. I don't want
Speaker 5: to pay for that. Join you know, a crunch or
Speaker 5: Equinox or New York City Sports Club or something and
Speaker 5: run around the track. You gotta pay taxes. So these
Speaker 5: young idiots who vote for people like mom Donnie can
Speaker 5: run down Park Avenue on a Saturday morning. What are
Speaker 5: we nuts? What are we doing?
Speaker 14: Though, well it's been they've been doing it for years.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I no. I guess what when I run for
Speaker 5: mayor and I win, I'm getting rid of that. I'm
Speaker 5: gonna add more cops and put them in areas where
Speaker 5: girls are getting raped. I don't know. I think it's
Speaker 5: more important than some idiot who makes two hundred and
Speaker 5: fifty thousand dollars a year running down Park Avenue at
Speaker 5: ten o'clock on a Saturday morning. Man, am I crazy?
Speaker 5: One of the first things I'll do, I'll shut this
Speaker 5: thing down, or or they'll do it and there'll be
Speaker 5: no cops ten o'clock in the morning.
Speaker 12: Need to be there.
Speaker 5: I have no idea the street.
Speaker 12: I mean, might as well close Park Avenue. It's a
Speaker 12: mess anyway.
Speaker 5: Cops everywhere. No, that's New York City. I mean, just
Speaker 5: you know, Bruce Blakeman says it all the time about
Speaker 5: the state, about Huckel, that Wench, that we don't have
Speaker 5: a revenue problem, We've got a spending problem. It's the
Speaker 5: same thing with the city. They got plenty of money.
Speaker 5: They just took eight billion from Hochel. We got money.
Speaker 5: That's not the issue. It's where we spend the money. Stupidity, stupidity.
Speaker 5: And I'm sure Mom Donnie feels like this is one
Speaker 5: of my great great Look at my Look at all
Speaker 5: the people, you know, having a great time on a Saturday.
Speaker 5: You dumb bastard's doing a good job, doing a great job.

Speaker 5: guys but on I saw the videos look like a
Speaker 5: huge event. Julie Mennon was there and many many other
Speaker 5: public officials at this big breakfast on Saturday morning. How
Speaker 5: did it go with the current governor?
Speaker 3: Well, she is the governor. And not only usually we
Speaker 3: have the entire back part of the restaurant for about
Speaker 3: eighty to one hundred people. We had both sides of
Speaker 3: the restaurant this time, and she had to speak from
Speaker 3: the middle of the restaurant. Look, and I had warned
Speaker 3: everybody that was coming the week before, Look, she is
Speaker 3: the governor. No matter whether you like her, you don't
Speaker 3: like her, you got to be civilized. And we had
Speaker 3: a lot of important people there.
Speaker 5: We had.
Speaker 3: People flew up from Palm Beach. The bishop from Palm
Speaker 3: Beach came up to give a prayer.
Speaker 5: I saw that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, in the Julie man was there. Like you said,
Speaker 3: now the only time in our little nervous I mean
Speaker 3: the Lieutenant Governor, Betsy McCoy. Do you remember what she
Speaker 3: did to Governor Patacky when when the Governor Patacky was
Speaker 3: giving his inaugural speech or whatever, she stood up next
Speaker 3: to him.
Speaker 5: Yep.
Speaker 3: Well, five minutes into UH, Governor Hoko speech, Well, Betsy
Speaker 3: mcway gets up and stands four feet away, four feet
Speaker 3: away from the governor. I started, I started looking at
Speaker 3: the at the governor's husband and tuck to Green and
Speaker 3: UH and talk Shapiro, and I said, what are we
Speaker 3: getting ourselves into?
Speaker 7: Now?
Speaker 3: I must say everybody was civilized, and Betsy McCoy was civilized.
Speaker 5: Betsy McCoy is all about Yeah, I.
Speaker 3: Argue with everybody, I disagree on different policies, but be
Speaker 3: civilized to each other.
Speaker 5: I think Betsy McCoy's winning for governor in Connecticut anyway.
Speaker 3: Right, No, she had to pull out, so she there's
Speaker 3: a technicality in she pulled out because of a technicality
Speaker 3: in that connecticutte But looks she's a smart lady and
Speaker 3: but she did the right thing and was very civilized.
Speaker 5: Did Governor Hunkle woke up to you and say please
Speaker 5: send my regards to your morning show host?
Speaker 3: Absolutely not.
Speaker 5: You know, you know what I enjoyed this morning. I
Speaker 5: knew that was the answer. What I enjoyed this morning
Speaker 5: was I know you're still close with the former Vice
Speaker 5: president Mike Pence, and I played a cut earlier today.
Speaker 5: Something I've been saying, you know it, John, for a
Speaker 5: long time. There is no such thing anymore as a
Speaker 5: common sense Democrat. It's a unicorn. It's a cute saying
Speaker 5: that don't exist. There's one. His name is John Betterman.
Speaker 5: So it was really see I'm talking about people serving now,
Speaker 5: not retired people like Governor David Patterson. So it's nice
Speaker 5: to see Tom Cotton say that same exact thing with
Speaker 5: Mark Levin on Saturday night and listening to Mike Pence
Speaker 5: with you, he kind of said the same thing. He said, Look,
Speaker 5: Republicans aren't perfect, They're not perfect, but the Democrats have
Speaker 5: completely lost their minds.
Speaker 3: They have completely lost their minds. And I am so
Speaker 3: much disappointed in major major people in the Democratic Party
Speaker 3: endorsing that lunatic in Michigan and that lunatic in Minnesota.
Speaker 3: That's gonna run And I mean, all we want is
Speaker 3: common sense. And I think the only way that the
Speaker 3: Democratic Party is going to learn that is they lose
Speaker 3: forty nine state sector did in nineteen eighty.
Speaker 5: Four, remember that Reagan, you're too younger, No I remember, no, no, no,
Speaker 5: I was, I was seventeen. It was Ronald Reagan, and
Speaker 5: I do remember it.
Speaker 7: Yes, I'll tell you that, but.
Speaker 3: Nobody's well somebody got up yesterday. I don't know. I
Speaker 3: didn't read the story. I saw the headlined some common
Speaker 3: sense Democrats put up fifteen million dollars to fight the
Speaker 3: Democratic Socialist Committee, and the Democratic Socialist Committee is not
Speaker 3: that big. But guess what they know how to wage war?
Speaker 5: Yeah? Great, point you exactly what?
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, they know how to wage war, and they

Speaker 5: in five minutes I was impressed. I thought it was
Speaker 5: gonna get a little hectic there, but you did an
Speaker 5: excellent job, which, by the way, brings me to this

Speaker 5: Will you a great show? Amazing guest the Cats Round.
Speaker 2: Table, Sid and Friends in the morning on the Red
Speaker 2: Apple Podcast Network.
Speaker 5: Excellent work by Rand Paul. And my next guest who's
Speaker 5: become one of my real buddies and government today. He's
Speaker 5: the amazing Senator from the state of Wisconsin, the great
Speaker 5: Ron Johnson. And Ron, you guys did all you can do.
Speaker 5: A couple of weeks ago you and Paul hammered them,
Speaker 5: and then last week when you once again had the
Speaker 5: hearing to hold him in contempt, you guys have pretty
Speaker 5: much done all you can do. Would you like to
Speaker 5: see the president maybe sit down with Todd blanch and
Speaker 5: talk about a possible prosecution.
Speaker 9: Well, good morning, said, well, first of all, FOUCHI own documents,
Speaker 9: his own words is what nailed him. That's what the
Speaker 9: American people need to see. I like seeing prosecuted. Unfortunately,
Speaker 9: Biden did give him a sweeping pardon, which yields him
Speaker 9: from federal prosecution. But I've spoken with the trans General
Speaker 9: from Florida. He seems to be pretty interested in seeing
Speaker 9: what state charges they can bring. I know, Coach Tumberville
Speaker 9: probably going to be the next governor of Alabama. He's
Speaker 9: made the same he'd like to see Fauci in court
Speaker 9: every day for the rest of his life. But yeah,
Speaker 9: let's face it, there's no doubt about it that Fauchi
Speaker 9: held Congress and contempt. But even more importantly, he's held
Speaker 9: the American public in contempt. And the first thing, and
Speaker 9: this was happening right now, and it started a couple
Speaker 9: of Wednesdays ago, is we're exposing the truth. He's no
Speaker 9: longer Saint Fauci at least two about half America. I
Speaker 9: think it was pretty astonishing was how democrats in that
Speaker 9: hear and continue to defend him like he is some
Speaker 9: kind of you know ain't at night. You know, White
Speaker 9: Knight came in, you know, saved millions of lives during COVID. No,
Speaker 9: he just destroyed lives, He destroyed economies. And now we
Speaker 9: have access to his phones. We've we've been able to
Speaker 9: download the information thirty four thousand texts. What is odd
Speaker 9: is he only has three contacts. The rest of those
Speaker 9: texts are associated with a phone number, which is going
Speaker 9: to obviously complicate our efforts to trying to piece us
Speaker 9: all together. But we're on the case and it's really
Speaker 9: it's really important to have documents like texts, like emails,
Speaker 9: and of course we know that his one of his lieutenants,
Speaker 9: doctor David Morns, is my staff that picked that need
Speaker 9: allowed the hay stack in terms of an emails that
Speaker 9: doctor Morins sets somebody saying don't send me emails. You know,
Speaker 9: I've got this spoil lady that says, you know, showed
Speaker 9: me how to make emails disappear. And we're starting to
Speaker 9: see that pattern as we do this investigation into the
Speaker 9: CDC and FDA actions during COVID, people were i think improperly,
Speaker 9: if not illegally, deleting emails not only from their devices,
Speaker 9: but even further deleting them off the server, which is
Speaker 9: extremely suspicious. Now now you have to have you know,
Speaker 9: people cooperating with that. So you know, my investigation has
Speaker 9: only just begun because we only just got documents. I've
Speaker 9: been doing oversight for years, never got anything out of
Speaker 9: the Biden to HHS. Finally Boby Kennedy with his commitment
Speaker 9: to radical transparency, we got eleven million pages. We have
Speaker 9: all these devices. Now we just got his Fauci's phone,
Speaker 9: So now the information is coming to the front. And
Speaker 9: again it's going to take us time to go through
Speaker 9: those foreign records to be able to release those publicly responsibly.
Speaker 9: You know, I don't want to. I don't want to
Speaker 9: provide personal information on anybody or put honest, even Fauci's
Speaker 9: personal information that don't sicktly relate to you know, public
Speaker 9: policy and what he did within that realm.
Speaker 5: You know, you mentioned Governor Turberville and I was a
Speaker 5: big band of his when he was coaching Auburn football.
Speaker 5: And of course he's leaving the Senate. So there's a
Speaker 5: seat we gotta fill. We gotta fill. It looks like
Speaker 5: Marshall Blackburn seat in Tennessee. She's running for governor. But tomorrow,
Speaker 5: outside of Tony Fauci is a big primary day for
Speaker 5: five states, including yours. And I know you know this,
Speaker 5: Ron Johnson, but all the media is talking about your
Speaker 5: states specifically because you have a legitimate lunatic, a legitimate psycho.
Speaker 5: This Francesca Hang, the same lady who said that we
Speaker 5: should no longer celebrate Thanksgiving in the United States. I
Speaker 5: think she's gone back on that, But it's two late
Speaker 5: thirty Senate. She's a real Dsay lunatic and her primary
Speaker 5: comes up in your great sight of Wisconsin tomorrow. How
Speaker 5: fearful should Wisconsin people be an Americans with this lady
Speaker 5: running for governor in your state.
Speaker 9: Well, as long as she doesn't be elected governor, there's
Speaker 9: probably nothing to fear but the best an open question.
Speaker 9: You know that the Democrat Party just basically quoted on itself.
Speaker 9: They had, you know, what they would consider more moderate Candace.
Speaker 9: I think there are all a bunch of radical lectures myself,
Speaker 9: but the one self proclaimed socialist is the only person
Speaker 9: basically left standing. By the way, all the early voting,
Speaker 9: there's there was a move when Sarah Rodriguez dropped out
Speaker 9: Mandela Barnes dropped out that Democrats want, well, can I
Speaker 9: recall my ap steap out and revote. You know, that's
Speaker 9: the problem with the early voting, which is why we
Speaker 9: probably ought to restrict it to a much narrower time
Speaker 9: frame so that all the information can be can come
Speaker 9: out before you start voting. So now Democrats are starting
Speaker 9: to see that, well, there's kind of kind of backfires
Speaker 9: on you every now and again when you try and
Speaker 9: make you know, it's so permissive in terms of these elections.
Speaker 9: But you know, lay that aside. Now we've got Francesca
Speaker 9: hung is a radical leftist, and of course she's backtracking
Speaker 9: from all her previous stances. In other words, she's lying
Speaker 9: about what she truly believes and trying to pull the
Speaker 9: wool over the eyes of Wisconsin. I hope and pray
Speaker 9: that that won't happen.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't know. I think she's gonna win tomorrow.
Speaker 5: But anyway, any rate, you know, it was nice to
Speaker 5: see Tom Cotton on with Mark Levin this weekend saying
Speaker 5: what I've been saying all alone, and that is ron
Speaker 5: that this common sense Democrat thing doesn't exist, you know,
Speaker 5: I mean, I guess Mansion was close when he was there,
Speaker 5: but he's gone out of West Virginia. There's only one
Speaker 5: John Betterman. Now you'll with these people every day. I'm
Speaker 5: just a radio guy. I only see one John Betterman,
Speaker 5: and I was happy to hear again Tom Cotton say
Speaker 5: the same thing this weekend. Am I missing some real good,
Speaker 5: common sense Democrats that you get to work with every day.
Speaker 9: Well, first of all, Francesca Hong will win the primary.
Speaker 9: I don't think the same question about that. She's the
Speaker 9: only one left standing. It's the general election. We need
Speaker 9: to make sure she's defeated. But no, listen whether whether
Speaker 9: they profess it openly or whether they're you know, their
Speaker 9: closet radical electis. Basically they're all radical electists, or at
Speaker 9: least they joined the team that is now run by
Speaker 9: the radical eptis, by the Bernie Sanders type, by the
Speaker 9: franchise to Hong type. So no, that's what soul alarming
Speaker 9: said is. You know, in the past, Democrats had had
Speaker 9: to hide their true beliefs, that they really were closet
Speaker 9: socialists or communists or Marxists. Now it's out in the open.
Speaker 9: After Mom, Donnie, who will probably do a great deal
Speaker 9: harm in New York and hopefully New Yorkers and the
Speaker 9: rest of nation will will see the results of this.
Speaker 9: I mean when you start talking about government run grocery
Speaker 9: stores and what a failure that will be, and they'll
Speaker 9: just create more food deserts. Right, Socialism has always failed,
Speaker 9: it always will. It's it sounds good, it just simply
Speaker 9: doesn't work. And again I blame the legacy media and
Speaker 9: our education system for not not educating our young people
Speaker 9: in the public in terms of the dangers of socialism.
Speaker 5: Well, you nailed it. Legacy media and education not right.
Speaker 5: These kids actually think this is a good thing. But
Speaker 5: there is some buyer's remorse. That's still early. This idiot
Speaker 5: has only been in office year for about eight months.
Speaker 5: He's gone three plus years to go. But there is
Speaker 5: some bias you more, so, what do you that's the
Speaker 5: good news, all right? Ron? So I wanted to see
Speaker 5: you on Maria yesterday, but you had Blackburn on instead.
Speaker 5: I love when you go on that show because I
Speaker 5: think you're the most knowledgeable guy in the Senate. And
Speaker 5: I said, wait a second, wait a second. The Save
Speaker 5: America Act is not done. We got to get that done.
Speaker 5: Reconciliation is not done. A few other things are not done. Listen,
Speaker 5: I'm glad that you guys power through about seventy five
Speaker 5: Trump people, including Todd Blanche and he did some other things.
Speaker 5: But it seems to me, if I'm wrong, Ron, correct me.
Speaker 5: It seems to me like the Senate's got a lot
Speaker 5: of work to do and you guys are off till
Speaker 5: September the fourteenth. What the hell is that?
Speaker 9: So, first of all, understand, the reason we haven't passed
Speaker 9: any election integrity measures is because Democrats are opposed to them.
Speaker 9: It's not you know, Republicans, we all vote for it.
Speaker 9: We prove that with our final vote late early in
Speaker 9: the morning Saturday morning by once again bringing up a
Speaker 9: simple voter ID bill Democrats when we had State MARKA
Speaker 9: Act on the floor, we were debating a Democrats all, professor,
Speaker 9: we're for voter I d well, we gave them one
Speaker 9: last opportunity. It's not the last, but I mean another
Speaker 9: one to vote for a simple voter ID bill. None
Speaker 9: of the other things that they object to. Our attachment
Speaker 9: is simple voter ID. They all vote against its. Republicans
Speaker 9: all voted for it. When we come back, we will
Speaker 9: bring up a sweetener. So okay, so you wouldn't do
Speaker 9: a standalone vote.
Speaker 7: ID.
Speaker 9: How about if we add to it a stock band,
Speaker 9: a stock trading band form members of Congress. You know,
Speaker 9: we'll we'll we'll combine that. They'll probably vote that down,
Speaker 9: and then what we're going to.
Speaker 5: Do those I mean, I got.
Speaker 9: Le finishers fishers with the consent of the President. I
Speaker 9: called him up Friday night, say, mister President, we're not
Speaker 9: sure whether we can pass the bunch of reconciliations that
Speaker 9: the House passed. Okay, we just don't know. If you
Speaker 9: put it on the floor, you really don't know. Tell
Speaker 9: you take a vote. But that reconciliation is inadequate. It
Speaker 9: does not provide the support for the finest among us
Speaker 9: and been and win in the military. It's inactworate funding.
Speaker 9: From that standpoint, we need to take more time from
Speaker 9: a standpoint of what we need to do, what we
Speaker 9: can get in terms of election integrity measures with the reconciliation.
Speaker 9: There are many other things we can add to a
Speaker 9: reconciliation if we have the time. They did a very
Speaker 9: skinny one hoping we could quick get it passed and
Speaker 9: then do a fourth reconciliation. I think we just made
Speaker 9: the decision collectively the House to send as the president. Okay,
Speaker 9: let's let's work hard on a much better budget reconciliation.
Speaker 9: So we agreed to that, and so again, you know
Speaker 9: we did. We accomplished a lot, got Todd Lanche confirmed.
Speaker 9: We we again pointed out that Democrats simply are opposed
Speaker 9: to election integrity, and we agreed to work on a
Speaker 9: much better budget reconciliation over the next coming months.
Speaker 5: Okay, I like that. I did want to ty to
Speaker 5: to people a second because of the whole stock thing.
Speaker 5: I mean, the amount of money that Nancy Pelosi has made,
Speaker 5: it's got to be criminal. I don't know. But at
Speaker 5: one point you may remember, and may have been, even
Speaker 5: the night of President Trump State of the Union, even
Speaker 5: Liz Warren came out and seemed like she was pot contest,
Speaker 5: seemed like she was against some of these House and
Speaker 5: Congress members involved in this trade stuff making all this money.
Speaker 5: So I mean, just is this too money that I
Speaker 5: think they're making a lot of money? I don't know,
Speaker 5: is that at all a realistic possibility?
Speaker 9: It should be. Again, what I did is I sold
Speaker 9: all my marketable securities when I got elected Senate. I've
Speaker 9: been sitting on cash, losing my you know what. Okay,
Speaker 9: now we finally bought some ets. But again I do
Speaker 9: not do single trade, and I don't think members of
Speaker 9: Congress should. Again, it just looks dirty, right. So you know,
Speaker 9: in the past I've opposed some of these measures that
Speaker 9: go too far, that force you to sell your business
Speaker 9: if you're a small business person, that's too far. But
Speaker 9: banning individual stock trades, I'm all for every I think
Speaker 9: probably every member of Congress professionally. Before Democrats profess to
Speaker 9: be for it, let's let's see if they they'll vote
Speaker 9: for it. So again, I think we've set this up.
Speaker 9: You know, our job between now the election is to
Speaker 9: point up difference streets, differences between Republicans and Democrats. And
Speaker 9: as imperfect as Republicans are, Democrats are orders of magnitude worse.
Speaker 9: They are the reason that we have open borders. They
Speaker 9: are the reason for all these victims of illegal immigrant crime.
Speaker 9: They are the reason we can't vote or can't pass
Speaker 9: voter integrity measures. So please understand what's at state. We've
Speaker 9: got radical socialists running openly on the ballot. And again,
Speaker 9: I know Republicans aren't perfect, but please please understand what's
Speaker 9: at stake. Our nation is in peril. Democrats, radical leftists,
Speaker 9: radical socialists have to be defeated.
Speaker 5: That is so well said, I got so angrent people go, well,
Speaker 5: both sides, shut up. It's not both sides. Okay, Yeah,
Speaker 5: Republicans aren't perfect. But these people are lunatics on the
Speaker 5: left and even the quote unquote common sense ones they
Speaker 5: don't exist anymore, like you said, because they've been pleasured
Speaker 5: to move further to the left, which is beyond progressive
Speaker 5: and now more towards DSA. Tell me this on a
Speaker 5: fun note, small market, right, But the Green Bay Packers,
Speaker 5: whether it was Brett Favv, Aaron Rodgers now love you
Speaker 5: guys are always great. The Brewers. The Brewers are about
Speaker 5: to win the nl Central again, so you guys are
Speaker 5: always good. The Bucks a couple of years ago, you
Speaker 5: guys won the NBA Championship. But how big was it
Speaker 5: when the Bucks traded Giannis a couple of weeks ago
Speaker 5: to the Miami Heat.
Speaker 9: Well, that absolutely hurts. But again, everybody has a bell
Speaker 9: curve on their career where they're absolutely best, and you know,
Speaker 9: they start getting older and less effective. But it is
Speaker 9: really remarkable to these small market cities. You know these teams, Packers, Brewers,
Speaker 9: the Bucks, how well they do in terms of recruiting
Speaker 9: the new talent. So we we somehow, partly partly because
Speaker 9: of I think people are attracted to you know, the
Speaker 9: fan base here because they're phenomenal fans. But we tracked
Speaker 9: this early talent. We take advantage of them earlier in
Speaker 9: the careers, and then of course New York or walk
Speaker 9: that way, you know, ends up buying them out. But
Speaker 9: again while they're on the rise, as they're reaching their pete,
Speaker 9: we take full advantage of him, and you know, we
Speaker 9: end up with some championships every now and again.
Speaker 5: Well, I'm gonna watch. I'm gonna give you the credit
Speaker 5: for it because I love you so much and you're
Speaker 5: such a great senator that I'm gonna say that the
Speaker 5: Milwaukee success in sports is also about Ron Johnson. I mean,
Speaker 5: what don't you do. You know you're working on making
Speaker 5: sure people are accountable for the vaccines that hurt our
Speaker 5: kids and other people over the years. That's great work
Speaker 5: you're doing, Ron. All the other work you're doing for
Speaker 5: Save America and the rest of the bills you're working
Speaker 5: on in the Senate and I say this all the time,
Speaker 5: not to embarrass you. I just think you're a phenomenal
Speaker 5: You're really are. You're great. So enjoy your time off
Speaker 5: because if anybody deserves it, it's you. Ron Johnson, thank
Speaker 5: you so much.
Speaker 9: I'll be working hard and trust.
Speaker 5: Me, I know, Ron, Thank you. Buddy. There he is
Speaker 5: the great senator from the state of Wisconsin. I realty
Speaker 5: do love that guy, Ron Johnson. Take a break. Still
Speaker 5: a lot more to do. This morning. We're gonna talk
Speaker 5: to the great actor America first Israel first Advocate, James Maslow.
Speaker 5: He was in that show Big Time Rush. Had a
Speaker 5: chance to meet him a couple of months ago. We
Speaker 5: become friendly. He's a great guy. He'll join us well. Also,
Speaker 5: hopefully he talked to Scott Lobato. He has not contacted
Speaker 5: me yet this morning, but he's supposed to come on
Speaker 5: at about eight fifty and coming up by after the news.
Speaker 5: We're going to talk to not one but.
Speaker 2: Two gentlemen Sid and friends in the morning on the
Speaker 2: Red Apple podcast network for the.
Speaker 24: President of United State stumpfe Donald Trump will come out
Speaker 24: and for a rally for you.
Speaker 25: It's not public yet, but I think we'll be seeing
Speaker 25: Donald Trump in New York very soon.
Speaker 24: It'll be nice. And who's going to be the ringmaster?
Speaker 24: Sid Sid Rosenberg? Is he gonna have Is he going
Speaker 24: to have a position in government if you get elected?
Speaker 20: Uh?
Speaker 25: Sid said, he might be running for mayor. I mean
Speaker 25: to make you good mayor. What do you think, zev?
Speaker 24: I think such? I asked him that question. The problem
Speaker 24: is his wife one led him. So I asked him
Speaker 24: the question. If the President of the United States calls
Speaker 24: you up and says, Sid, I need you to run
Speaker 24: for may while you're run tough one, he'll be the mayor.
Speaker 24: He would be the president or his wife and he
Speaker 24: was He hesitated for a moment or two.
Speaker 25: Well, I'm sure Danielle doesn't want him to take the
Speaker 25: pay cut. But listen, Sid is a great guy. You know,
Speaker 25: he's a dear friend of mine and he's a patriot
Speaker 25: and a proud Jew.
Speaker 5: Still coming up, Sid for mayor. My friend Danny introduced
Speaker 5: me last night at this really big event, much bigger
Speaker 5: than I thought it would be Boots for Israel event
Speaker 5: at the Hut residence lovely people out of indeed Hut
Speaker 5: in West Hampton. And he did this whole long introduction
Speaker 5: and ended it with and maybe the mayor in twenty
Speaker 5: twenty nine. Sid Rosenborg the New York Post only two
Speaker 5: weeks ago put something in there. City in state does
Speaker 5: it just about every week. So it's still out there.
Speaker 5: And I will at some point have a discussion with
Speaker 5: President Trump, maybe sooner than later, maybe this week, and
Speaker 5: I'll ask him and they'll say, he said, don't be crazy.
Speaker 5: Come on here, the greatest radio host in the history
Speaker 5: of the business. Come on, do what you're doing. You're
Speaker 5: great New York, We love you. You got to stay there.
Speaker 12: Okay, I was quite a speed too. Got a lot
Speaker 12: to do with my bids or my bids right now
Speaker 12: Jacket five.
Speaker 5: But I haven't made up my mind just yet, even
Speaker 5: though yes, Danielle is one thousand percent against it. Less
Speaker 5: about the money cut and more about the lies and
Speaker 5: the digging they do when they try to ruin other candidates.
Speaker 5: But the city needs help. He is a horrible person,
Speaker 5: a dreadful mayor and a horrible person. And of course
Speaker 5: I've been on this crusade for weeks now, way before
Speaker 5: anybody else, way before, to try to keep this animal
Speaker 5: away from the Freedom Tower of nine to eleven and
Speaker 5: my friend Phyllison Seruela, who works with Joanne Ariola, my
Speaker 5: great counsel lady, put me in touch with Giovanni Galante.
Speaker 5: He sorted the petition. Now, I think when Giovanni came
Speaker 5: on my show that morning, it's weeks now, he had
Speaker 5: fourteen thousand signatures. He's got to be close to one
Speaker 5: hundred thousand. Now that's the power of this show. Hey,
Speaker 5: you gonna come back on next And he's bringing on
Speaker 5: a friend of his who I keep calling Michael Wolfe.
Speaker 5: I apologize. His name is Charles Wolfe. And much like
Speaker 5: Giovanni who lost his beautiful wife Grace, she was murdered
Speaker 5: twenty nine years old, Charles lost his wife Catherine as well.
Speaker 5: So both of those gentlemen will join me next, and
Speaker 5: then we'll talk to Scott Lobato. So a lot going
Speaker 5: on here. You don't want to miss any of.
Speaker 2: These Sid and Friends in the morning on the Red
Speaker 2: Apple Podcast Network.
Speaker 5: Bruce Blakeman, did you not work for the Portothority at
Speaker 5: one point?
Speaker 7: I know you did. I was a commissioner of the
Speaker 7: Port Authority of New York and New Jersey for eight years.
Speaker 5: Eight years the Port Authority. So this is gonna hit
Speaker 5: close to home for you. We're about to commemorate twenty
Speaker 5: five years. I know you listen to every day. I
Speaker 5: am beating this drama. I had Bill Donnie you want
Speaker 5: from the Catholic League. He's written a long letter urging
Speaker 5: Mamdanie not to come nine to eleven. I brought on survivors, victims,
Speaker 5: the families. I brought on the guy that started the petition.
Speaker 5: I'm bringing on another lady. I am on a mission
Speaker 5: to keep this mayor away.
Speaker 20: Now.
Speaker 5: I know I can't do it, and I know the
Speaker 5: odds are stacked against me. But I also know that
Speaker 5: the overwhelming majority, not even the overwhelming majority of nine
Speaker 5: to eleven families don't want this anti American mayor there.
Speaker 5: So I'm not asking you whether you think he'll come
Speaker 5: or not, or if you a governor, if you would
Speaker 5: stop him from coming or not. I want, as a
Speaker 5: guy that worked with a port authority, who lost people
Speaker 5: that day, I want you to tell me do you
Speaker 5: think the mayor should show up?
Speaker 7: Well, first of all, said, I don't know if you
Speaker 7: know this or not, but my nephew was murdered on
Speaker 7: that day. No, Sergeant Tommy Jurgens my sister Linder's alder
Speaker 7: boy oldest boy. I'm twenty six years old, Army veteran,
Speaker 7: volunteer firefighter, New York State Court officer, was giving first
Speaker 7: day to a woman who was severely burned in Tower
Speaker 7: two when it collapsed on him. We never got a
Speaker 7: body or DNA. We only got his side arm and
Speaker 7: his badge. So it's very personal to me. I am
Speaker 7: a family member, and I don't think zoron Mondami should go.
Speaker 7: It's as if you know someone who's having a wake
Speaker 7: and they asked you not to go to the wake
Speaker 7: for personal reasons, you wouldn't go. So I mean, I
Speaker 7: don't think he should go. But here's what I'm going
Speaker 7: to say. If he's hell bent on going, I think
Speaker 7: people have a way to respectfully protest that. Turn your
Speaker 7: back on him, don't say anything to him, don't make
Speaker 7: a ruckus be solemn because it is a solemn day.
Speaker 7: Just turn your back on him.
Speaker 5: And a friend of his name Charles Wolf. I think
Speaker 5: Grace worked the Cannipitzgerald. His friend Charles Wolf Wolf, who's
Speaker 5: a love Your wife, Catherine was also murdered that day.
Speaker 5: She worked at marsh em mcclennan. So with that said, Giovanni, Charles,
Speaker 5: welcome to the show. How are you.
Speaker 15: Guys today, Good morning, great, Thanks for having me on.
Speaker 7: You got it.
Speaker 5: Let me start with you for a second. Giovanni, when
Speaker 5: you came on the show a couple of weeks ago,
Speaker 5: and I was humbled. You said you tried to reach
Speaker 5: out to me when you started this petition, So thank
Speaker 5: you for that. I think you had about fourteen thousand signatures.
Speaker 5: The next day you had about fifty and last I heard,
Speaker 5: you were closer to ninety. What is the actual number
Speaker 5: on the petition right now?
Speaker 28: It's eighty one, nine and fifty two, I believe. And
Speaker 28: when we spoke, I only had about fifteen hundred two thousand.
Speaker 28: You didn't give you enough enough credit for your your
Speaker 28: listeners and the support that I've gotten. They love you,
Speaker 28: they love this petition. To say, I called you back
Speaker 28: and I said I want to come on the show,
Speaker 28: and I want to thank everyone that sent me emails,
Speaker 28: everyone that signed a petition, and everyone that's sharing it.
Speaker 7: They've been great.
Speaker 28: I got to say, your audience is spectacular.
Speaker 5: Ah, thank you. Wow, they're real Americans. Go ahead, I'm sorry, no, no,
Speaker 5: thank you. They're real Americans, they're patriots, and they love you,
Speaker 5: and they you know, they love Grace and you know
Speaker 5: same thing. I've never talked to you before, Charles. This
Speaker 5: will be the first time. Obviously. My heart goes out
Speaker 5: to you and God rest your beautiful wife, Catherine soul.
Speaker 5: I'm devastating. I'm going to ask you some of the
Speaker 5: same questions I asked my friend Giovanni here. Some of
Speaker 5: them will be a little difficult, I'm warning you now.
Speaker 5: But take me back to that. Yeah, take me back
Speaker 5: to that horrible morning coming up on twenty five years
Speaker 5: of nine to eleven. Where were you and what were
Speaker 5: you doing when you figured out that Catherine was not
Speaker 5: coming home?
Speaker 19: Well, I live in Lower Manhattan. I live in Grant Shots,
Speaker 19: the history art district of Greenwich Village on Bleaker Street,
Speaker 19: and she had left her work. She'd Interestingly enough, she
Speaker 19: did express the fact that her mind is not at
Speaker 19: ease that morning, and yes, do.
Speaker 5: You know why that was the case? You know why
Speaker 5: she was referring to it?
Speaker 7: Not then what I do now?
Speaker 19: My wife.
Speaker 7: My wife had a tendency to be.
Speaker 19: Uh opprescient. In other words, she could decide to do
Speaker 19: something and against all odds, it would happen. She kind of, uh, well,
Speaker 19: she actually had a dream the night that she accepted
Speaker 19: the position at Marsha McLennan, which which was in the
Speaker 19: like the two thirds of the way through August, she
Speaker 19: had a dream and she told me about the dream,
Speaker 19: and she wrote it down. And I found that book
Speaker 19: in January of two and it is a prophetic dream
Speaker 19: about the attacks themselves. Oh, I want to go into
Speaker 19: any more of that but at this point, but yeah,
Speaker 19: she has she had. She was prescient, I guess didn't
Speaker 19: really know it until after the fact and found this book.
Speaker 19: But she you know, we live in a small studio
Speaker 19: apartment hit a corner of Bleaker and Thompson Streets in
Speaker 19: the village.
Speaker 7: And I had.
Speaker 19: Turned off the television so I could get some work
Speaker 19: done because I work from home, and she said, would
Speaker 19: you mind turning the TV back on please? My mind
Speaker 19: is not at ease. I had never heard her say that,
Speaker 19: and we've been together for thirteen years. So she went
Speaker 19: to work and I happened to be a pilot, just
Speaker 19: a private pilot, not an airline or a jet pilot,
Speaker 19: just a private you know, four seaters, six seater propeller plane.
Speaker 19: And I know I've been to a lot of air
Speaker 19: shows and so forth in my years, and I heard
Speaker 19: the plane fly over, and instantly I knew it was
Speaker 19: a twin engine plane at full throttle.
Speaker 7: And then I hit it hurt.
Speaker 19: I heard it hit the building, but I didn't know
Speaker 19: what it hit the building because I faced the other direction.
Speaker 19: My little balcony faces uptown rather than downtown. But it
Speaker 19: flew directly over our building. And then I ran down
Speaker 19: into the street and saw the gash in the building,
Speaker 19: and it all went from there. I ended up calling
Speaker 19: the FBI to tell them that was no accident, because
Speaker 19: I knew it was deliberate. And so that's what happened
Speaker 19: that morning.
Speaker 5: Did you have a chance. I know, for example, how
Speaker 5: what Lutnik has become a friend of mine was with
Speaker 5: President Trump. His brother was able to make a phone
Speaker 5: call before he died that day in that.
Speaker 19: Build plane the plane hit well. First of all, I
Speaker 19: know Howard very well, and he and his sister and
Speaker 19: I did a lot of post nine to eleven work.
Speaker 19: But the plane hit Captain's office directly four hundred and
Speaker 19: fifty miles an hour, So she never knew what was coming,
Speaker 19: and she never knew it happened because she and all
Speaker 19: the others right in her office area were instantaneously vaporized,
Speaker 19: which I am glad she didn't suffer.
Speaker 5: Of course. Absolutely. This is Charles Wolf who lost his
Speaker 5: wife Katherine, and Giovanni Gallante, who want the courage to
Speaker 5: start this position petition.
Speaker 7: Said one more thing before you go the governor or.
Speaker 19: Of the man who's running for governor. I forgot. It's Blakeman,
Speaker 19: Bruce Blakeman. He gave he gave a piece of advice.
Speaker 19: And I wanted to say that I've already done that
Speaker 19: because mandamn Me showed up at the visitation of King
Speaker 19: Charles the Third back in late April, and remember the
Speaker 19: mayor was going around kind of interrupting conversations and so forth,
Speaker 19: and I didn't like that. So when he came over
Speaker 19: to me, my hands were in my pockets and I
Speaker 19: turned my back to him.
Speaker 5: Good for you, good for you. Well we get back
Speaker 5: to you, Charles. We're not done yet with you, jush yet.
Speaker 5: But Giovanni, you said you went from fourteen thousand signatures,
Speaker 5: actually fourteen hundred on your petition, better than eighty thousand.
Speaker 5: Now do you have any more confidence today than we
Speaker 5: spoke two weeks ago that maybe, just maybe something is
Speaker 5: getting through to this more on this mayor or do
Speaker 5: you feel like, while yes, my audience has been great
Speaker 5: and New Yorkers have been great, that will still be
Speaker 5: there and maybe you'll have to do what Bruce Blakeman
Speaker 5: said and Charles just said, just turn your back on
Speaker 5: this creep.
Speaker 28: Well, I want to say your audience is great, and
Speaker 28: it is awesome. But I told you I was doing
Speaker 28: a prest conference on September eighth at twelve pm at
Speaker 28: City Hall.
Speaker 5: I got good news for you. I got news for it,
Speaker 5: good news for you. You did tell me about that,
Speaker 5: and you called me yesterday and I will be coming
Speaker 5: with Bruce Blakeman.
Speaker 28: Awesome, awesome. I you know, I asked for your support.
Speaker 28: Bruce Blakeman would be great to have him there as well,
Speaker 28: obviously as a citizen and someone that cares about his nephew.
Speaker 28: It's a you know, a thing that if we get
Speaker 28: enough people there, maybe we have a better chance of
Speaker 28: you know, telling this guy, dude, stay home, you're not welcome,
Speaker 28: just stay away. You know this this press conference, I
Speaker 28: think we'll bring a lot of people to City Hall
Speaker 28: on that day at twelve o'clock September eighth. I ask
Speaker 28: your audience, whoever can make it, I would appreciate them
Speaker 28: standing by us and just being there just.
Speaker 7: For the support.
Speaker 28: The more people we have, the better it is. The
Speaker 28: you know, one other thing that I do want to
Speaker 28: mention is all these people that show love. It's great,
Speaker 28: but we have a few trolls, you know, just a
Speaker 28: few out of the eighty two thousand and maybe eight,
Speaker 28: so it's a small fraction, but they keep calling us
Speaker 28: bigots and gracious and all these names. Obviously, and I
Speaker 28: want to make it clear so they understand the simple words.
Speaker 28: We do not hate anyone, No Muslims, no Jews, no Blacks,
Speaker 28: no Irish, no Italian. We just hate the fact of
Speaker 28: people coming here to try to change our.
Speaker 7: Way of life. Our way of life.
Speaker 28: Is the American dream.
Speaker 7: It's simple.
Speaker 28: If you can't understand those few words. For the people
Speaker 28: that do think that we hate everyone, we just hate
Speaker 28: the people that hate us, that want to kill us.
Speaker 28: It's not about religion or any other ethnicity, just the
Speaker 28: people that hate us. And I hope that this can
Speaker 28: clear up all the news media that talks about, you know,
Speaker 28: brings us into a world of hate with Palestine and
Speaker 28: Islamic people and all of these words that we didn't
Speaker 28: make them up.
Speaker 7: They did.
Speaker 28: These are things that we want because we believe in
Speaker 28: the American dream. Okay, that day changed our lives and
Speaker 28: America forever. So I think it should clear up most
Speaker 28: of the people that you know frolling around us, the
Speaker 28: eleven people, and they're making them afraid to even speak out.
Speaker 7: Some of them.
Speaker 5: Oh, I know, George Soros has a packed out there.
Speaker 5: And in fact, I had Joan Areyola on my counsel
Speaker 5: lady from Queen's and she talked about it. And then
Speaker 5: I brought on a lady Charles Director's to you who
Speaker 5: actually helps run that package, is in charge of it.
Speaker 5: And her name is Elizabeth Miller, and her father, Doug Miller,
Speaker 5: was murdered that day till he was a firefighter. Anybody
Speaker 5: who died that day was murdered, that's the bottom line.
Speaker 5: So she lost her dad that day. She was six
Speaker 5: years old. And I heard her news clipping a couple
Speaker 5: about a week ago, and she said that she was
Speaker 5: okay with the mayor coming. So long story short, she
Speaker 5: was on this show a couple of days ago, and
Speaker 5: I said, you know, Liz, and I love you. Don't
Speaker 5: get me wrong, I love you. I felt horrible for you.
Speaker 5: But this mayor hangs out with people, but he's friends
Speaker 5: with them. He doesn't know him. He's friends with people
Speaker 5: who thought your father. Who thinks your father deserved to die?
Speaker 5: That's right, sounds right right? They think your father deserved
Speaker 5: to die. Do you know? As sweet as she was,
Speaker 5: she was on for fifteen minutes, I couldn't sway her
Speaker 5: to go the other way. She thinks that the mayor. Now, look,
Speaker 5: she's a Democrat and she would have bought it for
Speaker 5: mom Donnie. She admits that she lives on Long Island.
Speaker 5: But are you shot, Charles when you hear any family
Speaker 5: member of a nine to eleven victim? Okay? With the
Speaker 5: mayor's showing.
Speaker 19: Up, everyone has their opinion. Some people have an opinion
Speaker 19: such as that because they aren't fully informed. Some other
Speaker 19: people just have a way of reasoning that doesn't want
Speaker 19: to interfere. I'm not going to put the lady down.
Speaker 19: I mean, she lost her dad. I wouldez, I'd hate
Speaker 19: to have lost my dad at six years old. Wouldn't
Speaker 19: really know who he was. But you know, everybody has
Speaker 19: their their viewpoint, and I don't agree with it at all.
Speaker 19: I have my own reasoning for it, and it's basically
Speaker 19: that Mendami is essentially an Islamist. I have no problem
Speaker 19: with Islam as a religion, but don't force it on me,
Speaker 19: and don't force its rules on me. In church at
Speaker 19: the cathedral Saint John the Divine, and I have been asked.
Speaker 19: I'm a reader there and I was asked to read
Speaker 19: the Quran a couple of times for the morning service,
Speaker 19: and it was harmless, very good things. But I believe
Speaker 19: what King Charles said in his speech to Congress this
Speaker 19: last spring, okay, is that Sharia law which comes along
Speaker 19: when you want to take over a country. Now, you see,
Speaker 19: being Muslim in your own private sense is fine, but
Speaker 19: it's when they start to apply Sharia law which controls you.
Speaker 19: And there's a reason why the first Amendments there shall
Speaker 19: be no establishmentever religion. It doesn't prevent religion. It means
Speaker 19: that everyone has the right to exercise their own private
Speaker 19: practice are religion. So that's fine, But when you want
Speaker 19: to take over a country, when you want to you
Speaker 19: when you want to oppress people, that's a whole different situation.
Speaker 19: So that's that's the way I see it.
Speaker 5: Oh, you're right, you're running the money. You got about
Speaker 5: three minutes to go. I want to get one more
Speaker 5: from both of you. Giovanni. Again, those signatures went up
Speaker 5: eighty thousand fold. For folks are listening right now that
Speaker 5: are victims' families or New Yorkers in general, has been
Speaker 5: moved closer and closer to this day. What is your
Speaker 5: message to them this morning?
Speaker 26: Well, if they want to sign the petition.
Speaker 28: They can look it up under the change dot.
Speaker 4: Org and if they can't find it, they can email
Speaker 4: me and I would send it to them under the
Speaker 4: change dot orgate's under the memory of those laws and
Speaker 4: Tember eleventh.
Speaker 15: With dignity. They can look it up.
Speaker 4: Or they can email me at WTC one nine to
Speaker 4: eleven one at AOL. And I love them all and
Speaker 4: appreciate all their feedback.
Speaker 5: Well, thank you, They love you too. Now your wife,
Speaker 5: of course, Grace god Wester Soul was twenty nine years old.
Speaker 5: I don't know how old Katherine wants, Charles, but I'm
Speaker 5: going to ask you to do something that Giovanni did
Speaker 5: for me, which was hard on him. But he got
Speaker 5: through it. And that is if you had a chance
Speaker 5: to visit heaven this morning, and I have one more
Speaker 5: conversation with Katherine, what would you say to her?
Speaker 7: I love you.
Speaker 19: I would hug her and I would tell her I
Speaker 19: love her, but she already knows that, but I would
Speaker 19: tell her I love her. I let's say, let's say
Speaker 19: it was a thirty second inter change, and I would
Speaker 19: just tell her lover and that when my life ends,
Speaker 19: I look forward to being with her again.
Speaker 5: How old was Catherine on that taychall forty?
Speaker 19: She had just turned forty.
Speaker 5: Oh my god, listen, both of you guys are great men.
Speaker 5: You're courageous and I love you. Guys. Are what he do.
Speaker 5: Love you, and New York loves you, America loves you.
Speaker 5: And I'm here for you and I will do whatever
Speaker 5: i can in my power to help you do whatever
Speaker 5: you want to do and accomplished certainly. Again, like I said, Giovanni,
Speaker 5: I spoke to Bruce Blakeman last night. We're going to
Speaker 5: go together on the eighth to be there for you guys.
Speaker 5: But anything else you guys ever need, reach out to me.
Speaker 5: And God bless you both the great patriots and I'm
Speaker 5: really sorry for what you guys have about to go
Speaker 5: through the last twenty five years.
Speaker 19: I willly am your word, having us my heart.
Speaker 5: Thank you, Charles. Yeah, you're quite a guy yourself, buddy,
Speaker 5: Thank you. You're sweet man. You too, Giovanni. I love
Speaker 5: you both. Thank you so much. That is Giovanni Galante
Speaker 5: and Charles Wolfe. Giovanni lost his twenty nine year old
Speaker 5: wife Grace on that day, and Charles lost his forty
Speaker 5: year old wife Catherine on that day. Another great New
Speaker 5: York page who's out there with me in the streets
Speaker 5: yelling and screaming every day about this terrible mayor, is
Speaker 5: about to join me next. I believe it's his first
Speaker 5: public appearance. He takes his stuff so close to heart,
Speaker 5: but he actually had a heart attack last week. Our
Speaker 5: dear friend, the amazing artist, the activist, I love him
Speaker 5: so much. Scott Lobato, Sid and.
Speaker 2: Friends in the Morning on the Red Apple Podcast Network.
Speaker 5: Congratulations, my big beautiful Bill wins at Saratoga yesterday. Well,
Speaker 5: we all know the news. The activist, the amazing artist,
Speaker 5: my dear friend. I'm just a great guy and a
Speaker 5: great fighter for this city. I mean, Scott Lobato. He
Speaker 5: was at a rally last week, so I mean for
Speaker 5: the Cops night out. I'm Donnie was there. People saw
Speaker 5: Scott going nuts on the mayor. He went so nuts
Speaker 5: the mayor even mentioned him during the speech. Now, the
Speaker 5: speech was supposed to be relatively long, was over in
Speaker 5: like ten seconds because Scott and the people of Staten
Speaker 5: Island literally booed this mother effort off the stage. But
Speaker 5: he did get Libto's name in there. And then long
Speaker 5: after that, my friend Scott collapsed and he died for
Speaker 5: two minutes. He actually flatlined for two minutes. He was dead.
Speaker 5: Thank god, EMS brought him back to life, and only
Speaker 5: a couple of hours after that he was giving the
Speaker 5: finger and the picture. But through this he wasn't doing
Speaker 5: all that great. I don't know how bad it got.
Speaker 5: I know that he he went home on Friday, but
Speaker 5: he didn't feel well on Friday. So let's get all
Speaker 5: the particulars right now with a legitimate hero. And all
Speaker 5: my listeners that are fans of mine are fans of his,
Speaker 5: and they've been really worried. I get messages every day.
Speaker 5: I mean it now, I love this guy, Scott Lobato,
Speaker 5: Scotty good morning, pal. Let's start with this. Brought up
Speaker 5: the bat. How you feeling.
Speaker 7: I'm okay.
Speaker 8: I like that, you, you know, being all nice and
Speaker 8: LOVEYV to me now. And when two days ago you
Speaker 8: called me a loser and my blood pressure up again
Speaker 8: while I'm laying in bad dying.
Speaker 7: And it wasn't because I was angry, because I was
Speaker 7: laughing my ass off because I know what you were doing.
Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, I really got so upset. I started
Speaker 5: to cry. When Frank Marno called me and Tobacco texted me,
Speaker 5: and I said, I gotta have fun. Thank god you alive.
Speaker 5: I mean, if God forbid it was worse, I wouldn't
Speaker 5: have done that. But I said, he's got such a
Speaker 5: great sense of humor, so what kind of loser? I
Speaker 5: was a autotime from that guy. But to be honest,
Speaker 5: I was frightfully worried. I'm glad you've got a great
Speaker 5: sense of humore. I knew you would take it that way,
Speaker 5: but I was only kidding.
Speaker 7: The best was the best was the crew. The crew
Speaker 7: that's there.
Speaker 8: They were like, you were like, don't you agree? And
Speaker 8: everybody just hesitated, and then eventually they did because they
Speaker 8: don't get paid if they don't agree with.
Speaker 5: Yeah, initially they were horrified. They're like, Sid, you can't
Speaker 5: say he's a loser. Well tell me this. When you
Speaker 5: arrived that night, at any point during that day or
Speaker 5: even moments before you collapse, did you feel ill? Did
Speaker 5: you feel anything.
Speaker 7: In the last couple of weeks. I wasn't feeling good.
Speaker 7: And apparently I.
Speaker 8: Found out this was a long time coming. I had
Speaker 8: some issues in the past, and I think I remember
Speaker 8: a couple of years ago. Uh, even when I was
Speaker 8: on your show, I mentioned something.
Speaker 5: But anyway, by buddy, but you never had a heart
Speaker 5: attack before, you had some issues.
Speaker 8: Apparently I did. I did, but I didn't really you know,
Speaker 8: I wasn't it was, but it wasn't, but it was.
Speaker 8: I found out now, my.
Speaker 5: God, so you know, I mean, but so you didn't
Speaker 5: even realize it at the time. So this was your
Speaker 5: second heart attack a couple of days ago.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I kind of, yeah, this one was the one.
Speaker 7: This was the big one. But it was coming.
Speaker 8: And again, everything is like clear, I don't need any
Speaker 8: stense my audience, even with all the stuff I put
Speaker 8: my body over these years. I quit smoking two years ago.
Speaker 8: But everything is good.
Speaker 7: My heart is perfect.
Speaker 8: Everything the muscles are except this one scar that just
Speaker 8: keeps the electricity from crossing over.
Speaker 7: Blah blah blah.
Speaker 8: Right, long story, but thank god I was where I
Speaker 8: was right because there were people there.
Speaker 5: Right. So do you remember, Scott, like a second before
Speaker 5: you collapsed, did you feel bad? Did you feel anything
Speaker 5: or you just went from yelling and screaming to going unconscious.
Speaker 8: Well, I just kept screaming and yelling until he was
Speaker 8: even off the stage, he was heading to his car,
Speaker 8: and then I just felt, wait a minute, I'm the saint, right,
Speaker 8: let me go take a little breather. And then I
Speaker 8: went to the grass and I told a buddy of
Speaker 8: mine and I was there. I said, I don't feel good.
Speaker 7: So you felt hit the ground and that was it.
Speaker 7: That was it.
Speaker 5: And then so you did feel something and then you
Speaker 5: hit the ground. You're unconscious now, I was told by witnesses, Scott,
Speaker 5: because you're a tough guy, you really are that you
Speaker 5: actually kind of lifted yourself up onto the gurney even
Speaker 5: though the MS guy. So I take it easy, Take
Speaker 5: it easy, Scott. You You're like, no, no, I got this.
Speaker 5: So do you remember doing all that?
Speaker 7: No? No, don't. I don't remember waking up, you know, wow.
Speaker 5: Do you just remember waking up in the hospital?
Speaker 7: Was that it? Yeah?
Speaker 8: I mean a little bit of in the ambulance, but
Speaker 8: I don't, you know, I just remember in the hospital,
Speaker 8: surrounded by six beautiful nurses, and I was like, all right,
Speaker 8: Heaven's okay, Heaven's okay.
Speaker 7: You know, Northwell as a great hospital they tried.
Speaker 8: Honestly, I'm gonna individually, personally in person thank you know,
Speaker 8: the NYPD medics and Ariy Weiss actually nice Jewish man,
Speaker 8: everybody who likes the Jews. Saved my life, helped save
Speaker 8: my life and the people at the hospital. But he's
Speaker 8: going to get individually thank for me. But the irony is,
Speaker 8: you know, yeah, I would have been wherever he came.
Speaker 8: But this was a pro cop evening. And this guy
Speaker 8: hates cops, as we know, more than the last two
Speaker 8: mayors who hated cops.
Speaker 7: You know, he cuts them.
Speaker 8: He cuts the funding, he aumiliates them, he puts them
Speaker 8: in danger, and he has the audacity and that's what
Speaker 8: he is. He has the audacity to come to these events.
Speaker 8: So I got a group of my friends and I said, listen,
Speaker 8: all I want to make sure we do is an
Speaker 8: old time, old school bronch chair. I want him booed
Speaker 8: so loudly that he does not get to speak, and
Speaker 8: that way you humiliate him. And that's exactly what we did.
Speaker 8: It really really worked. It was an old school it's awesome,
Speaker 8: you know. Yeah, and you know and then there's you know, everybody,
Speaker 8: you are Scott's nova. He's hanging up his sword. And
Speaker 8: then the next day I called my manager and I
Speaker 8: charted a plane to fly a banner over the city.
Speaker 5: That was awesome too. Yeah. I mean everybody put that
Speaker 5: up on their Instagram page and they go, look at
Speaker 5: this guy Scott, even on a hospital bed, he's still fighting.
Speaker 5: You know this is going to sound crazy, I know
Speaker 5: it is, but yeah, no, look, you know he knows
Speaker 5: you don't like him, and he doesn't like you, even
Speaker 5: though he called you his buddy in that speech. But
Speaker 5: you know what, you you really did have a very
Speaker 5: scary event. So it sounds like a crazy question, but
Speaker 5: it's not. How's the mayor reached out to you? See
Speaker 5: if you're okay?
Speaker 7: No, no, no.
Speaker 8: There was some funny memes, AI memes going around a
Speaker 8: lot of hate too. Man, it's amazing how much people
Speaker 8: are evil. I remember when I think he even wrote
Speaker 8: it up on your show here when Uh President Biden
Speaker 8: was diagnosed answer or whatever, and I said, look, I
Speaker 8: hate this guy. He's destroying his country, but I wish
Speaker 8: no ill, I will help his health gets you know, fine,
Speaker 8: I'm not that guy.
Speaker 7: You know.
Speaker 8: I'll hate you and I'll disagree with you, but I'll
Speaker 8: never wish. But it's amazing that people like Scotch should
Speaker 8: have died and all of this.
Speaker 5: Oh my god.
Speaker 8: But there were some cool memes with the mayor in
Speaker 8: my hospital room where to get well called the man
Speaker 8: he teach it, you know, funny shit, funny shit.
Speaker 5: What if he actually did I know what, He'd never
Speaker 5: happened because he hates you, he hates me. And then
Speaker 5: we got that in common, which is you have a
Speaker 5: lot in common. But if he actually did reach out
Speaker 5: to you, would you take the call?
Speaker 7: Yeah, I would take the call.
Speaker 8: And then I would give him, you know, well, I
Speaker 8: would give him a piece of my mind and tell
Speaker 8: him number one, number one, the first and most important thing,
Speaker 8: stay the f away from ground zero, right, And I
Speaker 8: want to move into that.
Speaker 7: You know, I I.
Speaker 8: Disagree with Blakeman. You know, if he shows up, No,
Speaker 8: he can't show up. He cannot show up. And what
Speaker 8: I want to do is I know he's listening. If not,
Speaker 8: the mayor is listening, his people are listening. Day I
Speaker 8: want to take this. I want to take this moment
Speaker 8: to reach out to the mayor. And you know he's
Speaker 8: going to continue to joy this, destroy the city. Guys
Speaker 8: like you and me and some others are going to
Speaker 8: be the resilience, constantly be the resilience to save the
Speaker 8: city against him. But I would like to call on
Speaker 8: a cease fire for one day, one tiny day, and
Speaker 8: that day is September eleventh, because I got a lot
Speaker 8: of heat and I don't care, you know, for promising
Speaker 8: to show up on nine to eleven if he shows
Speaker 8: up to humiliate him, and if it has to be
Speaker 8: a scene made, it has to be a scene made.
Speaker 8: But I'm willing because it's not about me. And people said, Scott,
Speaker 8: don't make this about you. It's not about me. So
Speaker 8: I will be the first one to start this cease
Speaker 8: fire for that one day, and the next day we
Speaker 8: could start this war again, but one day I won't.
Speaker 8: I am not showing up on September eleventh, and I'll
Speaker 8: tell my people not to show up on September eleventh
Speaker 8: if that guy this Maya comes out in the next
Speaker 8: few days and makes an announcement and just says I'm
Speaker 8: not showing up because.
Speaker 7: It'll put everybody at ease. It'll show that he's got some.
Speaker 8: Aspect of humanity and hono for these people on nine
Speaker 8: to eleven. That's all he needs to do, because if
Speaker 8: he doesn't, it's going to be a horror show.
Speaker 5: Sobe he doesn't do that, because I don't think he's
Speaker 5: going to do it, because he doesn't even have a
Speaker 5: spec of humanity. He's a real low life and a
Speaker 5: horrible person. If he does show up, then you are
Speaker 5: going to be there. You are going to be there.
Speaker 8: No, no, no, no, he's not going to show up
Speaker 8: because what the last guests discussed, more people need to
Speaker 8: get on board every single day, bigger and more powerful people.
Speaker 8: And I'm not even meaning Donald Trump. I'm meeting part
Speaker 8: of these families, these organizations, the city people, politicians, and
Speaker 8: stop saying if he shows up, we turn our backs,
Speaker 8: we keep him whatever it takes to keep him from going.
Speaker 8: But the message they need to reach out to him.
Speaker 8: He needs to just step up and be that person.
Speaker 8: That's what needs to happen. He cannot show up. He'll
Speaker 8: put everybody at ease just for the next couple of
Speaker 8: weeks so we could build up to this very special moment,
Speaker 8: this very special twenty fifth anniversary and the museum. We
Speaker 8: need to put more pressure on the museum because they're
Speaker 8: not putting my flag up that they promised it was
Speaker 8: going to go up now I think it's too offensive,
Speaker 8: but that they're going to have this guy there, the
Speaker 8: museum needs to be held responsible and more pressure on
Speaker 8: the museum.
Speaker 5: I agree with all that too, man. I agree with
Speaker 5: that your flag should be there, and they're going to
Speaker 5: allow this guy to show up, and look, I'm with you,
Speaker 5: he shouldn't be there. He won't be there. That's the
Speaker 5: end of it. We're gonna move on as if the
Speaker 5: mayor is not going to be there, and we'll take
Speaker 5: it from there. You know, one thing I did see
Speaker 5: the last week, Scott, and I know you're a tough
Speaker 5: guy and all that, but you know you're a sweet guy.
Speaker 5: I know you really well at this point, and to
Speaker 5: see the I guess the love that came your way
Speaker 5: over the leads last couple of days. I know you're
Speaker 5: not looking for that. I get it. But when you're
Speaker 5: laying in the hospital bed at home this morning, for example,
Speaker 5: and you see thousands and maybe one hundreds of thousands,
Speaker 5: maybe millions, I don't know at this point worried about
Speaker 5: you and loving you, how good is that feel?
Speaker 7: It's it helped me a lot, helped me a lot.
Speaker 8: And I'll get a nice call from Rudy Giuliani left me,
Speaker 8: just long message, and that's great.
Speaker 7: So many, so many awesome people. Man, really it was.
Speaker 8: It's a special thing to know.
Speaker 7: You know. You don't think about it.
Speaker 8: You just your brain just keeps going and going and going,
Speaker 8: and your heart keeps going and going and going, and
Speaker 8: you just keep doing and doing. You don't have time
Speaker 8: to think about you know what you're doing. But you
Speaker 8: know you have no choice but to sit there and
Speaker 8: finally read the comments and read the well wishes and
Speaker 8: stuff on uh, pretty tremendous stuff, and making a different
Speaker 8: apologize to all those people who own my work and
Speaker 8: thought for a few minutes that they were millionaires.
Speaker 5: It God not yet, not yet, God forbid. I've got
Speaker 5: three pieces of your art, so I'd like to keep
Speaker 5: you around again a fourth if you wouldn't mind. That's
Speaker 5: that's how great you are and how important you are
Speaker 5: and the difference that you do make here on a
Speaker 5: daily basis. So the other question to keep getting asked
Speaker 5: is what can Scott not do anymore? We used to
Speaker 5: seeing Scott walk up to the campus sometimes with a
Speaker 5: glass of Scotch. People thought you did still smoke, So
Speaker 5: I guess that's that's out for two years. What about
Speaker 5: the drinking? How the doctor said you can't do certain
Speaker 5: things that you like to do.
Speaker 8: Nope, I mean I, like I said, everybody, you know
Speaker 8: you'll see me once in a while chewing on his
Speaker 8: little switch of sweet cigar that I do not inhale
Speaker 8: once in a blue moon. That's just a fix that
Speaker 8: you hold, just a whole something. But now I quit
Speaker 8: smoking two weeks two years ago. All those people, but
Speaker 8: you know, tell me how to you know you live
Speaker 8: your life? You're doing this wrong, you know. Meanwhile, I
Speaker 8: know they're eating sausage and peppercal zone with a side
Speaker 8: stick of butter. You know, do as I say, not
Speaker 8: as I do. It had nothing to do with this
Speaker 8: was just something that was coming stressed.
Speaker 7: As a killer.
Speaker 8: I have a lot of energy, a lot of passion
Speaker 8: and it you know, it's I just gotta The beauty
Speaker 8: about me is as an artist is that I have
Speaker 8: the creativity to do the same, if not more, without
Speaker 8: jumping and scream the things popping out like I did
Speaker 8: with that charter that said ma'am dandy staying away from
Speaker 8: ground zero. So they're gonna be a lot more to
Speaker 8: come reevaluate, but uh, just re re redo everything, recharge.
Speaker 8: I'm already I gat another week to get back to normal. Uh.
Speaker 8: You know, cal won't be able to swing golf club
Speaker 8: because I got this uh flex capacitated thing inside me here.
Speaker 8: Uh but it's a it's amazing. It's amazing how how
Speaker 8: things up. But now I'm not going anyway.
Speaker 7: I'm not hanging up.
Speaker 8: My sword, just going to take a little rest and
Speaker 8: keep fighting. But I'm going to make sure that this
Speaker 8: guy does not coming to ground zero. And I will
Speaker 8: be at that press conference on the eighth, even if
Speaker 8: I'm in the background. That's going to be a big day.
Speaker 8: I think that will be.
Speaker 7: If he still says he's coming, that would be the
Speaker 7: day to stop him.
Speaker 5: You will not be in the background. You'll be standing
Speaker 5: right up front with me and Bruce.
Speaker 7: You're not going to be in the background.
Speaker 5: You're never the background. Nah, You're going to be there.
Speaker 5: Paul Allisten, you sound great this morning. You do. I
Speaker 5: know you're a little tired obviously, and you know your
Speaker 5: body is not completely healed yet. This is only about
Speaker 5: a week ago, less than a week ago. But I
Speaker 5: love you, Scott Lobato. When New York loves you and
Speaker 5: America loves you, like I said to the last two guys,
Speaker 5: and a lot of people really really upset that you
Speaker 5: that you got that ill, and we almost lost you.
Speaker 5: So I would just say stick around for a little
Speaker 5: bit and I got a lot more work dough together. Paul,
Speaker 5: I love you, Thank you so much.
Speaker 19: Indeed, God bless you.

Speaker 5: be right back out there, Scott Lobato. No, no, And

Speaker 5: the MJE and it was a wonderful evening. And Erin
Speaker 5: Molan at one point did this little panel before the
Speaker 5: start of the Will festivities that night, and Bruce pro
Speaker 5: was there or around the college basketball coach En Huthers Rabbi.
Speaker 5: And there was one guy there who was a big
Speaker 5: TV starm, big time rush. You remember that show handsome

Speaker 15: Beautiful morning today in Nashville. How's New York?
Speaker 5: It's not so beautiful, I mean the weather's pretty guild.
Speaker 5: We got our issues. Oh my. The people I like
Speaker 5: these days are in Tennessee. Wiley Gaines is there, and
Speaker 5: Tommy larn is there and my friend Klay Travis, who's
Speaker 5: on this show quite a bit, is there, and you're there.
Speaker 15: Snakes Spot, Man, you gotta come out great spot to
Speaker 15: be well.
Speaker 5: You guys got to vote in Marshall Blackburn as the
Speaker 5: next governor. Will you get involved in that or not? Willly?
Speaker 7: Do you know what?
Speaker 15: Actually I met Marshall, She's supported me. She stood up
Speaker 15: actually one of her fundraisers for governor. I was invited
Speaker 15: to it to even though I was a fundraiser. I
Speaker 15: met her through some music stuff. She's a huge supporter
Speaker 15: of the arts and as a musician. I very much
Speaker 15: appreciate that. And she actually that is a huge surprise
Speaker 15: to me, had me stand up and said, if you
Speaker 15: don't know James Manser, you should know him. He's a
Speaker 15: huge advocate for this country. He's a huge advocate against
Speaker 15: anti Semitism.
Speaker 5: And for Jews.
Speaker 15: And man, I was extremely complimented. So I'm proud to
Speaker 15: say that she's a friend.
Speaker 5: That's awesome. I like that story. So you're out there
Speaker 5: fighting every day. You were at that event with me
Speaker 5: and Darren Molin and Bruce Pearl and all these great
Speaker 5: Jewish people in Laura Manhattan. Not that long ago, and
Speaker 5: I'll ask you the same question that I used to
Speaker 5: ask my dear friend Michael Rappaport, who's answered a million
Speaker 5: times at this point. You know, Michael went through a lot.
Speaker 5: He was canceled. He's got a new documentary out which
Speaker 5: is amazing something to the extent of him, I canceled
Speaker 5: yet something like that, and I've seen it and it
Speaker 5: made me cry. But he really was canceled. He could
Speaker 5: not get any acting opportunities for the better part of
Speaker 5: two years. And the way you fight like that, like Michael,
Speaker 5: like me, I'd imagine you came under the same issue.
Speaker 5: So what are you doing about that these days?
Speaker 7: Oh?
Speaker 15: Look, I'm just continuing to put arts out into the world.
Speaker 15: You know, I appreciate Michael Rapperford very much. He's certainly
Speaker 15: more aggressive on the issues, as are you and myself,
Speaker 15: And I appreciate you guys. But for me, I've been
Speaker 15: very outspoken. But as an actor, as a musician, as
Speaker 15: somebody who has created art and seen people come together
Speaker 15: through our through music, through TV shows and movies, I
Speaker 15: want to continue to do that. I want to bring
Speaker 15: people together. So I want to bring people to this
Speaker 15: conversation actually have a conversation about it, not just fight
Speaker 15: about it and yell about it, but hopefully come together
Speaker 15: and solve it. And I take a great way from
Speaker 15: an American perspective to do that is to come together,
Speaker 15: regardless of what side of the aisle you're on, and say, hey,
Speaker 15: we've done pretty good so far. Look around from history's perspective,
Speaker 15: look around the world today. This is the greatest place
Speaker 15: in the world to live in, the greatest place that
Speaker 15: it's ever been to live in. So let's start by
Speaker 15: saying we're grateful to be here and then come together
Speaker 15: and make it better. That love perspective, and if anybody
Speaker 15: fights against that, it's just a little ridiculous. Why are
Speaker 15: we trying to spread people, you know, put people against
Speaker 15: each other. I want people to come together and start
Speaker 15: with a little bit of gratitude.
Speaker 5: I love that. I don't. I mean, it's a ot gay.
Speaker 5: I'm not gonna lie to you, but I love it.
Speaker 7: Hey, you know that's right.
Speaker 15: I'm in a boy band something called Worse.
Speaker 5: You really are a boy bend all these young girls.
Speaker 5: I remember my friend Alex brought And who works for
Speaker 5: Brooke Wallin's. She made us put you on a FaceTime
Speaker 5: the night that I saw you at that event. All
Speaker 5: these young kids, they all still love you. And you
Speaker 5: know when they reach out to you, what do they
Speaker 5: say about some of the things you're doing today.
Speaker 27: Cool?
Speaker 15: Look, if you look on social media and look online,
Speaker 15: there's a lot of hateful comments. I mean, I get
Speaker 15: death threats just for being Jewish. It really isn't about
Speaker 15: what I say anymore. Say it's about who I am.
Speaker 15: It's about how I was born. I get death threats
Speaker 15: are being proud to be American, which to me is
Speaker 15: absolutely ridiculous. But that's because the loudest voices come from
Speaker 15: all over the world and they have nothing better to
Speaker 15: do but to be online and to behaveful but in person,
Speaker 15: every single day I get stuffed regardless of where I
Speaker 15: am in the world, and get thanked. I get thanked
Speaker 15: for standing up. I get thanked for speaking out. And
Speaker 15: those people mean a lot more to me than the
Speaker 15: people that think I should die because I'm Jewish, should
Speaker 15: die because I believe Israel has the right to exist.
Speaker 5: Well, to your credit, you know you mentioned me and
Speaker 5: I'm a bit of a psycho, I admitted, than Michael,
Speaker 5: You're excellent. No, I mean No, you're You're excellent. You
Speaker 5: were up on stage that night and you blew me away,
Speaker 5: and I like the way you deliver No, I mean it.
Speaker 5: I mean you're a great looking guy, and you know,
Speaker 5: you've got a great personality. You're an actor, you're a performer.
Speaker 5: But the way you deliver your remarks is well done.
Speaker 5: It is well done. It's very hard not to like you,
Speaker 5: even if you do eight Jews or Americans and the
Speaker 5: rest of that stuff. No, I mean it, I mean
Speaker 5: you just you have a way of doing it where
Speaker 5: you know you're you're likable me. They're like, oh that,
Speaker 5: I can't die soon enough. But to your credit, you
Speaker 5: do have Maybe it's the Tennessee. I don't, but you're
Speaker 5: not from Tennessee. Where are you from? Originally?
Speaker 15: I was actually born in New York City. My whole
Speaker 15: family's from New York. I was born in York Hospital,
Speaker 15: but I moved to San Diego when.
Speaker 19: I was young.
Speaker 15: So I'm more of a so called beach kid and
Speaker 15: somehow found home here in Middle America. But look to
Speaker 15: that point first, Why I appreciate that I've traveled so much.
Speaker 15: I've said my career playing music all over the world, acting,
Speaker 15: getting to live and shovel all over the world. And
Speaker 15: the truth is said, and you'll probably call it a
Speaker 15: little gay, and I'm okay with that. The truth is
Speaker 15: I have seen more commonality. I've seen that most people
Speaker 15: on this planet have more in common than we have differences.
Speaker 15: So I want to focus on that. I want to
Speaker 15: focus on the things that unite us and bring us together.
Speaker 15: And I'm pretty good with everybody right up until you
Speaker 15: think that, you know, I should die I believe in
Speaker 15: or I should die for.
Speaker 7: Where I live.
Speaker 15: That's where I stop him. You know, I'm gonna try
Speaker 15: to swear on the show. I don't know if that's allowed,
Speaker 15: to tell you to a f off right, Yeah, until
Speaker 15: that point. Until that point, truthfully, I do want to
Speaker 15: bring people together because I think there's more of us
Speaker 15: that think this way and feel this way than there aren't.
Speaker 5: Well, I'll tell you this. I had a long conversation
Speaker 5: with my friend Sean Hannity last week, and you know,
Speaker 5: we're talking about the mayor mom Donnie, and you know,
Speaker 5: Sean has his feelings. He's not a big fan, obviously,
Speaker 5: but he's not nearly as angry and vicious as I am.
Speaker 5: I mean, I called him in a terrorist on Fox News.
Speaker 5: I probably blew any chance of getting back on Fox
Speaker 5: News anytime soon. And to be honest, I don't care
Speaker 5: because I think I explain why he is a terrorist.
Speaker 5: You have to kill somebody aware an exposive. Best to
Speaker 5: be a terrorist, Just share the ideology, celebrate those people.
Speaker 5: That's what mom Donnie does. And I said to show
Speaker 5: and I said, let me tell you something. Tough guy, Okay,
Speaker 5: you live in Palm Beach County. Now, it's real easy
Speaker 5: to be a little less tough when you're not traveling
Speaker 5: into New York City every day. I can say the
Speaker 5: same thing about you. There's love in your heart. You
Speaker 5: want people to get along. But you're in a state
Speaker 5: right now where all the good people are moving to
Speaker 5: imagine being right back here, James Maslow in New York City,
Speaker 5: you may be a bit rougher.
Speaker 15: You're right, You're absolutely right. And I travel enough to
Speaker 15: tell you straight up, I don't feel as safe. I
Speaker 15: don't feel as comfortable a lot of the places I go.
Speaker 15: I was just in part of art. I just played
Speaker 15: a solo show from one of my first headlining solo shows.
Speaker 15: I'm about to put us some country music.
Speaker 7: Wow.
Speaker 15: And I love Mexico. I've played so many shows down there.
Speaker 15: I have been received so well, so much love, some
Speaker 15: of the best service and food and fans in the world.
Speaker 15: But it was a free concert, and that means they
Speaker 15: kind of let anybody in. And it was the first
Speaker 15: time that I experienced this latantly pro Palestinian and anti
Speaker 15: Jew crowd right in front of me, about ten of
Speaker 15: Them'm gonna see you. About three thousands in Mexico up
Speaker 15: genocide signs. Yeah, holding up free Palestine size, holding up
Speaker 15: die Zionists, go home.
Speaker 7: Jew.
Speaker 15: They weren't hiding it, so to your point, yeah, felt
Speaker 15: a lot less safe there. And in New York City,
Speaker 15: I've walked around with my Magen da vid out getting looks,
Speaker 15: getting eyes, and I stand up proud and I wear it.
Speaker 15: But man, you're right, I'm grateful I don't have to
Speaker 15: put up with that every day. That's partially in fact,
Speaker 15: there's a huge part of the reason why they live
Speaker 15: in Nashville. I feel very safe here. My neighbors, Christian neighbors,
Speaker 15: Jewish neighbors, regardless, they're loving, they're supportive, they value the
Speaker 15: same principles as an American living here. And man, the
Speaker 15: older I get, you know, if you're starting a family
Speaker 15: in the near future, God willing getting married this year,
Speaker 15: the more I do want to live in a place
Speaker 15: that shares this pride and that does feel safe. And
Speaker 15: I certainly don't feel the same way in New York City.
Speaker 7: That sucks.
Speaker 15: Is where I was born, and it's one of the
Speaker 15: greatest cities in the world, but it's changing.
Speaker 5: It is well mazotov to you and your fiance. And yes, Tennessee,
Speaker 5: you want a good barbecue, you like your country music,
Speaker 5: you love your college football. I know that I love that.
Speaker 5: I love Nashville, I love most of Tennessee. So on
Speaker 5: the way out here, James, we've had a great nine
Speaker 5: minute discussion. What we've discussed things that are not necessarily optimistic.
Speaker 5: Give me something to make me feel like as we
Speaker 5: get set to commemorate three years October seventh, and even
Speaker 5: on a larger scale, because I am America first twenty
Speaker 5: five years nine to eleven. Outside of the fact that
Speaker 5: you live in a very safe and beautiful place for
Speaker 5: the rest of us, that don't give me a reason
Speaker 5: to be optimistic about the futures of both America and Israel.
Speaker 15: I'll give you a great reason. I was just at
Speaker 15: the mccabie Games, Jacency mccabie Games in Kansas City, and
Speaker 15: I got to speak to and then play some of
Speaker 15: my new country music. First thousands of young athletes and
Speaker 15: predominantly young Jewish athletes. Some maccabie Games like the Jewish Olympics,
Speaker 15: but that wasn't the focus of the games. The focus
Speaker 15: of their games was competition, was leadership, was growing to
Speaker 15: become the people that they want to see in the world.
Speaker 15: That was the conversation, that was the feeling, and man,
Speaker 15: I was motivated. I got to see thousands of young
Speaker 15: boys and girls, men and women from I think thirteen
Speaker 15: to seventeen or eighteen crush it out there, support each
Speaker 15: other out there, dance, sing along to the music, and
Speaker 15: lift each other up. That gave me a lot of
Speaker 15: pride as an American, gave me a lot of pride
Speaker 15: as a Jew. So I believe that there is hope
Speaker 15: because we have to believe that there is hope, and
Speaker 15: we have to spread that hope. Sid and you do
Speaker 15: it in your way. It's a little harsher than I do,
Speaker 15: but I'll do it my way because we need all ways.
Speaker 15: We know Michael rappitpoor will do it in his way.
Speaker 15: It might be harsher than both of us.
Speaker 9: We all do it.
Speaker 5: We got to.
Speaker 15: Keep did support each other, keep putting out some positivity
Speaker 15: and some hope, because what's the alternative despair?
Speaker 5: And we don't want that. What is the name of
Speaker 5: your band again?
Speaker 19: Big Time Rush?
Speaker 5: Oh my god? What how'd you get that name from?
Speaker 15: You know it had some to do it with hockey
Speaker 15: and the TV show. It's a long and fairly boring.
Speaker 5: That's funny. No, that's great, Big Time Rush and James
Speaker 5: Maslow was great on that show. And now he's got
Speaker 5: a band also named Big Time Rush. And trust me, folks,
Speaker 5: you know I don't lie to you. He's just one
Speaker 5: of the nicest, smartest, most handsome. What a terrific guy.
Speaker 5: And I hope this is a first of many, many
Speaker 5: many visits. James Maslow, you were awesome this morning. Thank
Speaker 5: you so much so.
Speaker 15: I appreciate your time.
Speaker 5: Brother, God bless you. That was great, James Maslow right there,
Speaker 5: you loved them, Lewis, didn't you how?
Speaker 12: He's great?
Speaker 5: Yes, smart guy, good looking guy. And you played the song.
Speaker 5: So that's it. Now you got him, and that is
Speaker 5: going to be all for us on this Monday. Now
Speaker 5: you got him. That's it. It's a little gay. Yeah,
Speaker 5: it may be a little gay, but we're done for today.
Speaker 5: It was a heck of a guest list. I were
Speaker 5: two gentlemen who lost their wives on nine to eleven,
Speaker 5: two great guys, Giovanni Galante and Charles Wolf. Thank you,
Speaker 5: Scott Lobato. That was amazing, Katsu Matitis was great. The
Speaker 5: whole show was really terrific this morning.
