Sid & Friends In The Morning Sitting Pretty in First Place

1
00:00:00.960 --> 00:00:03.419
Sid and Friends in the Morning.
2
00:00:03.520 --> 00:00:05.419
Entertaining and informative.
3
00:00:05.599 --> 00:00:07.500
On the Red Apple Podcast Network.
4
00:00:09.740 --> 00:00:14.650
Congratulations especially to Sid Rosenberg on his induction to the
5
00:00:14.730 --> 00:00:17.370
New York State Broadcasters Hall of Fame.
6
00:00:17.410 --> 00:00:19.269
I can't believe he didn't make it years ago.
7
00:00:20.210 --> 00:00:23.789
Today, Sid forever joins a roll call of some of
8
00:00:23.829 --> 00:00:26.929
the greatest legends in the history of New York broadcasting
9
00:00:27.000 --> 00:00:30.000
and talk radio. the best in the business, and he's
10
00:00:30.039 --> 00:00:33.039
the best in the business. Over many years, Sid has
11
00:00:33.079 --> 00:00:37.280
distinguished himself as one of the most authentic and recognizable
12
00:00:37.340 --> 00:00:41.409
voices in American airwaves, and he's built a smart, loyal,
13
00:00:41.990 --> 00:00:43.990
gigantic audience, and I happen.
14
00:00:43.710 --> 00:00:45.890
To be one of those people in the audience.
15
00:00:46.469 --> 00:00:48.670
And I had for a long time, long before I
16
00:00:48.710 --> 00:00:49.630
became president.
17
00:00:50.130 --> 00:00:53.770
The president, President Trump, also on the campaign trail for
18
00:00:53.829 --> 00:00:57.770
Republican candidates. He made a stop in Texas last week
19
00:00:57.869 --> 00:01:01.009
and Ohio. This comes, however, as a new CBS News
20
00:01:01.130 --> 00:01:04.640
poll shows the Democrats are in a strong position to
21
00:01:04.680 --> 00:01:08.620
win control of the House, tying ongoing concerns about the
22
00:01:08.700 --> 00:01:12.980
economy and the war with Iran with the president. CBS's
23
00:01:13.040 --> 00:01:14.620
Torian Small now with more.
24
00:01:16.519 --> 00:01:20.359
President Trump spent Saturday evening in Ohio predicting Republican wins
25
00:01:20.420 --> 00:01:22.099
in upcoming midterm elections.
26
00:01:22.659 --> 00:01:26.519
We're going to win strong in the Republican majorities in
27
00:01:26.560 --> 00:01:27.700
the House and the Senate.
28
00:01:27.859 --> 00:01:30.700
The president's remarks come as a new CBS News poll
29
00:01:30.750 --> 00:01:33.450
showed Democrats are favored to retain their lead for a
30
00:01:33.549 --> 00:01:37.030
narrow majority of seats in the midterms. The poll found
31
00:01:37.069 --> 00:01:41.230
that 56 percent of those surveyed say the president's policies
32
00:01:41.290 --> 00:01:42.969
are responsible for the state of the U.S.
33
00:01:43.010 --> 00:01:44.030
Economy today.
34
00:01:44.409 --> 00:01:48.230
And of those surveyed, 70% said the president's policies are
35
00:01:48.299 --> 00:01:51.719
making the prices of food and groceries go up. The
36
00:01:51.760 --> 00:01:54.599
president's war on Iran, now in its eighth month, also
37
00:01:54.659 --> 00:01:59.640
remains unpopular. According to those surveyed, 67% say they prefer
38
00:01:59.659 --> 00:02:02.799
a candidate who wants to end the conflict now. When
39
00:02:02.859 --> 00:02:06.409
faced the nation, Energy Secretary Chris Wright defended the president's
40
00:02:06.439 --> 00:02:09.930
determination to prevent Iran from having a nuclear weapon and
41
00:02:09.990 --> 00:02:13.250
expressed confidence that gas prices will come down in the
42
00:02:13.310 --> 00:02:16.560
next few weeks, but says there are no guarantees.
43
00:02:17.189 --> 00:02:18.879
There's no guarantees in conflict.
44
00:02:18.900 --> 00:02:20.340
There's no guarantees in life.
45
00:02:20.500 --> 00:02:24.319
But everything we're doing is to grow the supply of diesel,
46
00:02:24.599 --> 00:02:26.000
to grow the supply.
47
00:02:25.620 --> 00:02:30.000
Of gasoline, and frankly, again, to reverse years of policies
48
00:02:30.080 --> 00:02:32.379
that have been directed exactly the opposite.
49
00:02:32.919 --> 00:02:36.000
Also on Face the Nation, Democratic Senator Mark Kelly, who
50
00:02:36.060 --> 00:02:39.860
spoke optimistically about the Democrats' chances of gaining control of
51
00:02:39.900 --> 00:02:42.479
both the House and the Senate in the midterms.
52
00:02:43.039 --> 00:02:45.689
I think we have real opportunities in a lot of places.
53
00:02:46.219 --> 00:02:49.909
People are frustrated and they're fed up with Washington, D.C.
54
00:02:49.949 --> 00:02:50.349
Right now.
55
00:02:50.810 --> 00:02:54.530
And they know that this president is not addressing any
56
00:02:54.550 --> 00:02:56.550
of the needs that affect them.
57
00:02:57.090 --> 00:02:59.500
The midterms are less than one month away.
58
00:02:59.509 --> 00:03:03.120
Kate, the co-pilot of this flight may have been trying
59
00:03:03.139 --> 00:03:05.960
to take control of the aircraft and crash it into
60
00:03:06.000 --> 00:03:07.500
Tel Aviv's Ben Gurion Airport.
61
00:03:07.939 --> 00:03:08.099
John?
62
00:03:08.990 --> 00:03:11.610
Trey, I know there was a lot of euphoria in
63
00:03:11.770 --> 00:03:15.939
Israel over the successful ending of that flight, but now
64
00:03:16.000 --> 00:03:19.409
people are raising a lot of questions about the investigation
65
00:03:19.530 --> 00:03:23.389
and everything that... that could have prevented all of this
66
00:03:23.430 --> 00:03:24.409
in the first place, right?
67
00:03:24.770 --> 00:03:25.250
Absolutely.
68
00:03:25.289 --> 00:03:28.509
Israeli media reports that the flight manifest was actually given
69
00:03:28.569 --> 00:03:31.719
to the transportation ministry here in Israel before it took
70
00:03:31.900 --> 00:03:34.979
off from Dubai, an indication that the Israelis may have
71
00:03:35.000 --> 00:03:37.939
been able to vet both the crew and passengers of
72
00:03:37.990 --> 00:03:39.629
this flight before it took off.
73
00:03:39.949 --> 00:03:41.729
And we know the Israelis have a rule in place.
74
00:03:42.490 --> 00:03:44.650
Pilots from around the world are not allowed to land
75
00:03:44.710 --> 00:03:47.210
here in Israel if they have nationality from a country
76
00:03:47.250 --> 00:03:50.789
that does not have normalized ties with Israel. And this pilot,
77
00:03:50.810 --> 00:03:54.659
according to reports, had Omani citizenship. And so it does
78
00:03:54.719 --> 00:03:57.419
raise these red flags about who missed this and if
79
00:03:57.460 --> 00:04:00.419
the intelligence behind the scenes was actually working. There is
80
00:04:00.460 --> 00:04:02.580
an overhaul right now of the system, we are told,
81
00:04:02.900 --> 00:04:04.599
and they are trying to ensure that an incident like
82
00:04:04.639 --> 00:04:06.229
this can't happen in the future.
83
00:04:07.090 --> 00:04:09.770
Country star Zach Bryan played another show at Gillette. The
84
00:04:09.789 --> 00:04:12.969
stadium posted the concert broke its attendance record with more
85
00:04:13.009 --> 00:04:17.389
than 73,000 fans. The show came 24 hours after Bryan
86
00:04:17.410 --> 00:04:21.519
wore a Free Palestine t-shirt on stage. WBZ's Logan Hall
87
00:04:21.560 --> 00:04:25.000
says the incident thrust the controversy back into the spotlight
88
00:04:25.339 --> 00:04:26.720
and fans had mixed feelings.
89
00:04:26.740 --> 00:04:29.449
Speaking of speech, man. Let him wear what he wants.
90
00:04:29.750 --> 00:04:32.980
Fans outside of Gillette for Zach Bryan's second show, supporting
91
00:04:33.000 --> 00:04:35.819
the artist for wearing a free Palestine shirt on stage
92
00:04:35.959 --> 00:04:37.920
during his concert on Friday night.
93
00:04:40.040 --> 00:04:40.600
I mean, it's huge.
94
00:04:40.699 --> 00:04:42.819
I mean, coming from a country artist especially, like speaking
95
00:04:42.839 --> 00:04:44.500
up for that, like usually they're very conservative.
96
00:04:44.779 --> 00:04:47.620
The move comes weeks after Gillette Stadium owner Robert Kraft
97
00:04:47.639 --> 00:04:50.490
was accused of pressuring Ed Sheeran to pull Macklemore from
98
00:04:50.529 --> 00:04:53.490
his tour after the artist spoke in support of Palestine.
99
00:04:53.930 --> 00:04:57.209
Macklemore posting a photo of Zach Bryan to his Instagram story,
100
00:04:57.610 --> 00:04:58.569
calling out Kraft.
101
00:04:59.009 --> 00:05:02.209
He has two trans members in his band. He's spoken
102
00:05:02.230 --> 00:05:04.790
up for LGBTQ in the past, coming up with a
103
00:05:04.810 --> 00:05:07.540
Free Palestine shirt, coming out. I mean, it speaks volumes.
104
00:05:07.939 --> 00:05:09.699
But many of the fans we spoke to outside of
105
00:05:09.720 --> 00:05:12.000
the concert weren't interested in the politics.
106
00:05:12.560 --> 00:05:13.360
I'm here for the music.
107
00:05:13.699 --> 00:05:15.079
I don't really look at that stuff.
108
00:05:15.639 --> 00:05:18.540
I'm just here to listen to Zach Bryan and sit
109
00:05:18.560 --> 00:05:20.740
on the floor and be as close to him as possible.
110
00:05:21.370 --> 00:05:23.439
We reached out to Gillette Stadium for comment, but did
111
00:05:23.500 --> 00:05:27.779
not hear back. Reporting in Foxborough, I'm Logan Hall, WBZ News.
112
00:05:28.800 --> 00:05:31.560
New York Mayor Zoran Mamdani rolled up his sleeve for
113
00:05:31.639 --> 00:05:34.519
a flu shot. He was joined by Curtis Sliwa at
114
00:05:34.560 --> 00:05:38.360
a clinic in Port Greene, Brooklyn. The former challengers for
115
00:05:38.399 --> 00:05:42.199
mayor teamed up to record a message encouraging New Yorkers
116
00:05:42.259 --> 00:05:45.670
to get their flu shots. They even held hands when
117
00:05:45.689 --> 00:05:48.829
Sliwa got his shot. I can understand that. He received
118
00:05:48.870 --> 00:05:51.290
a button, but not a free ride home.
119
00:05:52.019 --> 00:05:52.800
Now, can I get on.
120
00:05:52.740 --> 00:05:54.439
The subway with this instead of an Omnipod?
121
00:05:55.360 --> 00:05:56.360
Come on, Mr.
122
00:05:56.459 --> 00:05:57.279
Mayor.
123
00:05:57.300 --> 00:05:58.910
We're going to.
124
00:05:59.089 --> 00:05:59.910
Have to work on that.
125
00:06:01.089 --> 00:06:03.269
And the clinic where the duo got their shots is
126
00:06:03.350 --> 00:06:05.949
one of many around the city offering the vaccine for free,
127
00:06:06.370 --> 00:06:10.579
regardless of insurance or immigration status. The CDC says the
128
00:06:10.620 --> 00:06:13.000
flu vaccine reduces the risk of having to go to
129
00:06:13.019 --> 00:06:16.060
the doctor with the flu by up to 60 percent.
130
00:06:16.959 --> 00:06:19.360
Mamdani hasn't given us faster free buses, but he is
131
00:06:19.399 --> 00:06:22.519
keeping his promise of replacing police officers with social workers.
132
00:06:22.620 --> 00:06:25.160
Last week, Mamdani's city hall declared that police officers can
133
00:06:25.220 --> 00:06:29.079
no longer respond to 311 calls about homeless encampments. Instead,
134
00:06:29.220 --> 00:06:31.800
the officers have to call 311 themselves and then allow.
135
00:06:31.680 --> 00:06:33.660
A social worker to take it over entirely.
136
00:06:33.899 --> 00:06:35.519
But what's that social worker supposed to do?
137
00:06:35.819 --> 00:06:38.300
Well, according to Mamdani's instructions, that social worker has to
138
00:06:38.339 --> 00:06:40.800
show up for seven days in a row, make direct
139
00:06:40.899 --> 00:06:43.420
contact with the individual to ask them to leave, then
140
00:06:43.500 --> 00:06:46.009
only after seven days of direct contact can the department
141
00:06:46.029 --> 00:06:48.689
of sanitation even begin to start clearing away the trash
142
00:06:48.730 --> 00:06:51.730
from the streets this is insane policy to put into
143
00:06:51.750 --> 00:06:54.129
perspective there are only about 2 000 social workers in
144
00:06:54.149 --> 00:06:56.990
the entire department of homeless services in new york compared
145
00:06:57.009 --> 00:07:00.639
to over 8 000 homeless encampments already confirmed to 311
146
00:07:00.639 --> 00:07:03.420
this year alone resources are always limited so having our
147
00:07:03.459 --> 00:07:05.480
social workers go out seven days in a row to
148
00:07:05.500 --> 00:07:08.120
try and make contact with these encampments is taking away
149
00:07:08.199 --> 00:07:11.540
valuable time and resources from individuals who are actually in crisis,
150
00:07:11.740 --> 00:07:14.490
not building two-bedroom encampments under the FDR. So if you
151
00:07:14.500 --> 00:07:16.610
start wondering why you're seeing all these encampments pop up
152
00:07:16.629 --> 00:07:17.810
this winter, now you know why.
153
00:07:18.050 --> 00:07:18.709
Vote accordingly.
154
00:07:19.430 --> 00:07:24.209
Somebody that goes back literally decades with Bernie and through
155
00:07:24.410 --> 00:07:27.129
an incredible partnership has been able to make this show.
156
00:07:27.769 --> 00:07:31.579
The number one talk show in this city is Sid Rosenberg,
157
00:07:31.740 --> 00:07:33.519
and he's on the line with us now. Sid, my
158
00:07:33.560 --> 00:07:36.550
heart goes out to you. Words fail me, and... I
159
00:07:36.569 --> 00:07:39.350
can only imagine how you must be feeling. My condolences
160
00:07:39.430 --> 00:07:40.790
on the loss of your partner and your friend.
161
00:07:41.649 --> 00:07:42.250
Well, thank you.
162
00:07:42.269 --> 00:07:45.509
It was a tough morning. I do want to thank
163
00:07:45.529 --> 00:07:48.209
you and Curtis and John.
164
00:07:47.970 --> 00:07:54.610
And Chad and everybody who's called in. John said it best.
165
00:07:54.629 --> 00:07:56.509
You know, I knew how bad it was, too. I
166
00:07:56.560 --> 00:07:58.209
spoke to Bernie. I told you this, Frank.
167
00:07:58.829 --> 00:08:00.120
A couple of mornings ago, I.
168
00:08:00.100 --> 00:08:02.360
Spoke to Bernard last Wednesday.
169
00:08:02.379 --> 00:08:04.399
And I even made.
170
00:08:04.279 --> 00:08:08.600
The comparison to Jim Cohn's character in Brian's song. His
171
00:08:08.639 --> 00:08:12.350
voice was so weak. But we had a nice conversation.
172
00:08:12.370 --> 00:08:13.689
In fact, me.
173
00:08:15.350 --> 00:08:17.550
For what he did at the gala. And the last
174
00:08:17.569 --> 00:08:20.329
thing he said was, I love you. And I said,
175
00:08:20.350 --> 00:08:24.509
I love you too. And this is an immense loss.
176
00:08:24.670 --> 00:08:27.689
Like John said, we knew he was sick and we
177
00:08:27.730 --> 00:08:32.340
knew this day was coming. But when it comes, it's
178
00:08:32.389 --> 00:08:36.820
not easy. And, um, You know, guys, my history is
179
00:08:36.840 --> 00:08:39.590
not about me today, but a lot of people turned
180
00:08:39.610 --> 00:08:40.389
their backs on me.
181
00:08:40.409 --> 00:08:43.929
And he never did. He never did.
182
00:08:44.990 --> 00:08:49.149
And I'm just very sad today. I probably shouldn't even
183
00:08:49.169 --> 00:08:49.919
call him, but.
184
00:08:51.059 --> 00:08:53.259
I feel like I need to. I'm going to miss him.
185
00:08:53.620 --> 00:08:57.419
That was actual audio that you heard right there from
186
00:08:57.500 --> 00:09:05.549
October 5th, 2022, four years ago today. Ironic, too, because
187
00:09:06.370 --> 00:09:08.389
the guys that were hosting that morning, along with John,
188
00:09:08.429 --> 00:09:12.529
of course, were Frank Morano, he's no longer here, and
189
00:09:12.590 --> 00:09:16.169
Curtis Sliwa, who not only is no longer here, but
190
00:09:16.190 --> 00:09:18.710
has turned into one of the biggest assholes in the
191
00:09:18.750 --> 00:09:23.379
history of New York. I mean, what a douchebag. My God, Curtis.
192
00:09:24.460 --> 00:09:28.320
You feel good about yourself? Really? You sat here and
193
00:09:28.899 --> 00:09:31.720
conned me and my audience day after day for years?
194
00:09:33.009 --> 00:09:35.029
And all it was for you was to make sure
195
00:09:35.090 --> 00:09:39.500
Andrew Cuomo didn't win because of, I guess, a combination
196
00:09:39.600 --> 00:09:45.299
of what you've got, which is CDS, Cuomo Derangement Syndrome,
197
00:09:46.320 --> 00:09:48.100
and maybe a couple of bucks. I don't know. I
198
00:09:48.120 --> 00:09:51.340
don't have any proof. I don't have it accused you
199
00:09:51.379 --> 00:09:56.830
of anything. But, man, it has become real obvious. And
200
00:09:56.870 --> 00:09:59.190
it was even during the race. You guys may remember
201
00:09:59.830 --> 00:10:03.049
when I... had Curtis on this show literally 13 days
202
00:10:03.149 --> 00:10:07.389
before Election Day. You guys remember that he spent the
203
00:10:07.429 --> 00:10:12.200
first 13 minutes, 13 minutes, talking about the guy that
204
00:10:12.240 --> 00:10:16.419
wasn't even winning, Andrew Cuomo. And about 13 minutes in,
205
00:10:16.480 --> 00:10:19.470
I said, and, Noam, you'll remember this, Hey, Curtis, are
206
00:10:19.490 --> 00:10:21.230
you going to get to Mamdani at some point? He's
207
00:10:21.269 --> 00:10:23.279
probably going to win. You remember that?
208
00:10:23.919 --> 00:10:27.120
I remember that, and I remember during the debate, everybody
209
00:10:27.139 --> 00:10:29.340
was screaming at their TV saying, when's he going to
210
00:10:29.399 --> 00:10:30.379
go after Mamdani?
211
00:10:30.419 --> 00:10:34.389
So clearly there's something at play here that's not okay,
212
00:10:34.470 --> 00:10:37.629
that's not kosher. You know, there are still people out
213
00:10:37.669 --> 00:10:40.309
there that hate me so much that they curse me
214
00:10:40.450 --> 00:10:44.549
out on Twitter this weekend in defending Curtis. You believe that?
215
00:10:45.299 --> 00:10:47.480
I mean, I turned out to be a thousand percent right.
216
00:10:47.519 --> 00:10:51.259
And I took the beating. Curtis, his wife, his team,
217
00:10:51.370 --> 00:10:54.269
every day on Twitter and Instagram. I showed it to
218
00:10:54.289 --> 00:10:58.730
you guys every day. Sid's a backstabber. Sid's a Judas.
219
00:10:59.309 --> 00:11:03.789
Because I decided that 10 days, not 10 weeks, not
220
00:11:03.789 --> 00:11:07.710
10 months, 10 days after putting this creep on just
221
00:11:07.750 --> 00:11:12.720
about every day for six years against management's wishes. Ten days,
222
00:11:13.120 --> 00:11:15.899
me and John Katsimatidis, my friend on Brian Kilmeade's show
223
00:11:15.960 --> 00:11:20.269
on Fox, decided that if that week Curtis's numbers didn't
224
00:11:20.309 --> 00:11:22.789
improve and they didn't, we were going to move to Cuomo.
225
00:11:22.970 --> 00:11:27.309
Ten days. And I really thought Curtis, I kept saying
226
00:11:27.350 --> 00:11:29.110
he's going to get clobbered. I would tell Louie that
227
00:11:29.149 --> 00:11:31.460
every morning. And Lou was getting mad at me because
228
00:11:31.509 --> 00:11:34.580
Lou liked Curtis. So did I at one point. He's like, oh,
229
00:11:34.600 --> 00:11:36.879
I don't care about the polls, blah, blah, blah. He's
230
00:11:36.899 --> 00:11:39.389
going to get killed today. And when I said that,
231
00:11:39.409 --> 00:11:42.809
I thought he got 15% of the vote, not 7%.
232
00:11:42.809 --> 00:11:45.350
The worst showing in the history of the race. And
233
00:11:45.389 --> 00:11:49.840
this moron is talking about running again. But to sit
234
00:11:49.879 --> 00:11:53.840
there this weekend and again, the yucks. Guys, remember the
235
00:11:53.980 --> 00:11:57.460
inner circle dinner months and months ago? When he did
236
00:11:57.500 --> 00:11:59.559
the video with Mom Donnie that nobody laughed at. It
237
00:11:59.580 --> 00:12:02.330
was so stupid. But you remember that, Noam, right?
238
00:12:02.389 --> 00:12:03.149
I do remember that.
239
00:12:03.210 --> 00:12:03.669
Embarrassing.
240
00:12:03.750 --> 00:12:07.759
Embarrassing. Not funny, dumb. But everybody was like, oh, my God.
241
00:12:07.779 --> 00:12:09.519
I'm like, what? Oh, my God, what?
242
00:12:10.139 --> 00:12:10.399
What?
243
00:12:10.980 --> 00:12:12.899
If you couldn't tell during the race, I know all
244
00:12:12.940 --> 00:12:16.139
of his buddies in Middle Village and our neighborhood, Lou,
245
00:12:16.200 --> 00:12:20.629
I kept yelling. I kept yelling at Mary Glynn and
246
00:12:20.690 --> 00:12:24.990
Paul King and Margaret Powers. Stop it already with this guy.
247
00:12:25.049 --> 00:12:30.250
Stop it. And they all loved him. Levato. Turns out
248
00:12:30.289 --> 00:12:33.809
he's the backstabber. He's backstabbed this city. And again, I
249
00:12:33.809 --> 00:12:37.870
don't know exactly why. Maybe he needs to be loved.
250
00:12:37.909 --> 00:12:39.889
Maybe he needs money. I don't know what it is.
251
00:12:40.090 --> 00:12:46.879
I don't know. But it was an odd race. Odd
252
00:12:46.919 --> 00:12:51.080
as being nice. And since Mamdani's won, Curtis has so
253
00:12:51.100 --> 00:12:53.259
far up his ass, he may as well check for polyps.
254
00:12:54.039 --> 00:12:55.940
And to get the flu shot together a couple of
255
00:12:55.980 --> 00:12:59.440
days ago, sitting there smiling and yucking it up, Again,
256
00:12:59.480 --> 00:13:02.350
not funny. One thing about those two guys, you put
257
00:13:02.370 --> 00:13:05.710
them together, they're not exactly Dean and Jerry, you know.
258
00:13:06.250 --> 00:13:08.889
They were close to polyps yesterday, actually.
259
00:13:08.970 --> 00:13:10.230
It was so ridiculous.
260
00:13:10.269 --> 00:13:10.870
Very close.
261
00:13:11.289 --> 00:13:13.330
So ridiculous. But I don't want to talk about Curtis.
262
00:13:13.350 --> 00:13:16.179
He happened to be on the air that day filling
263
00:13:16.240 --> 00:13:17.720
in for me because I couldn't do the show. I
264
00:13:17.759 --> 00:13:22.340
was so distraught, as you guys can hear. And the
265
00:13:22.379 --> 00:13:27.330
night before, October 4th, Well, it was October 5th. What
266
00:13:27.350 --> 00:13:30.820
am I talking about? That show was October 6th. October
267
00:13:31.120 --> 00:13:35.259
5th of 2022. Also happened to be, believe it or not, Noam,
268
00:13:36.659 --> 00:13:43.570
Yom Kippur. And we had just broken the fast, me, Danielle, Ava,
269
00:13:43.649 --> 00:13:47.230
and Gabe. And we were going to bed. And I
270
00:13:47.269 --> 00:13:50.450
told you this many times, my phone rang, and it
271
00:13:50.509 --> 00:13:53.070
was the Hall of Fame voice of the New York
272
00:13:53.110 --> 00:13:56.110
Knicks and the NBA saying, our dear friend, the great
273
00:13:56.169 --> 00:14:00.370
Mike Breen. And I didn't pick up. I missed the call.
274
00:14:01.570 --> 00:14:04.889
And I said, wow, Danielle, Mike Breen just called. I said,
275
00:14:05.110 --> 00:14:06.970
I don't want to call him back because I know
276
00:14:07.009 --> 00:14:11.269
why he's calling. I knew it. I had talked to
277
00:14:11.309 --> 00:14:14.269
Bernie the week before he died. I was doing a
278
00:14:14.529 --> 00:14:18.980
book signing. My second book came out, Citizens United. And
279
00:14:19.000 --> 00:14:23.559
I was doing the signing from that place in Ronkonkoma. God,
280
00:14:23.580 --> 00:14:28.700
that was far. the first American warehouse. And I called Bernard,
281
00:14:29.220 --> 00:14:32.419
and Bernard thanked me because right before that, at the
282
00:14:32.740 --> 00:14:36.360
WABC annual gala, I don't know if you guys were
283
00:14:36.379 --> 00:14:39.200
there for this one, but I went up on stage
284
00:14:39.240 --> 00:14:43.200
and I told everybody there, very reminiscent of Billy Dee Williams,
285
00:14:43.980 --> 00:14:46.460
to pray for Bernie. Do you remember that? Were you
286
00:14:46.480 --> 00:14:47.179
there for that, Lewis?
287
00:14:47.279 --> 00:14:47.830
I saw that.
288
00:14:47.919 --> 00:14:49.029
I remember that one, I think.
289
00:14:49.250 --> 00:14:52.110
Yes. Pray for Bernard, and Bernie thanked me that night
290
00:14:52.149 --> 00:14:54.850
on the phone. He said, thank you for that. And
291
00:14:54.870 --> 00:14:57.610
I hung up the phone. Andrew Giuliani was standing right there.
292
00:14:57.629 --> 00:15:01.210
And I cried. And I told Lou the next morning,
293
00:15:01.990 --> 00:15:05.529
talking about Billy Dee Williams, his voice was so high
294
00:15:05.570 --> 00:15:10.990
and weak, he reminded me of the character Jim Conn played,
295
00:15:11.009 --> 00:15:14.549
Jimmy Conn played in Brian's song, the real life Brian Piccolo.
296
00:15:15.769 --> 00:15:18.029
And I said, he's going to die. And I remember
297
00:15:18.070 --> 00:15:20.529
a couple of days after that, maybe it was Monday,
298
00:15:20.549 --> 00:15:22.649
because I think Bernard died on a Tuesday or a Wednesday.
299
00:15:23.649 --> 00:15:26.789
Carol McGurk called me, his wife, and said, listen, Bernie
300
00:15:26.809 --> 00:15:29.480
intends to come back on the air. Because I had
301
00:15:29.500 --> 00:15:32.980
been saying, just stop it already. Matt Meany was, he's
302
00:15:33.039 --> 00:15:36.220
coming back. And management here was, he's coming back. And
303
00:15:36.240 --> 00:15:40.279
I was like, guys, he ain't never coming back. Not
304
00:15:40.299 --> 00:15:43.340
because I wanted that to be the case, but I
305
00:15:43.500 --> 00:15:47.179
spoke to him. I saw it. I said we should
306
00:15:47.200 --> 00:15:50.409
be spending our time making him and his family comfortable
307
00:15:50.769 --> 00:15:53.009
and stop lying to people that he's coming back. He's
308
00:15:53.049 --> 00:15:55.990
not coming back. He was dead two days later after
309
00:15:56.009 --> 00:15:57.789
that argument with Matt Meany. You remember that, Noam?
310
00:15:58.809 --> 00:16:01.269
I don't think I was came maybe a week or two.
311
00:16:01.409 --> 00:16:02.070
Oh, after that.
312
00:16:02.370 --> 00:16:02.730
No, no.
313
00:16:02.769 --> 00:16:05.629
It was right before. So I missed all that. I mean,
314
00:16:05.649 --> 00:16:06.759
it was here the day he passed away.
315
00:16:06.820 --> 00:16:07.799
I remember it.
316
00:16:08.120 --> 00:16:09.539
Yes. Well, I was getting angry.
317
00:16:09.659 --> 00:16:09.899
Remember?
318
00:16:09.919 --> 00:16:12.360
I was like, guys, let's be honest with the listeners.
319
00:16:12.600 --> 00:16:15.159
Let's be honest. Let's help Bernie and Carol. He ain't
320
00:16:15.179 --> 00:16:17.200
coming out of this. No, he's coming back.
321
00:16:17.399 --> 00:16:19.120
He's trying to be hopeful. But I told Matt, I
322
00:16:19.139 --> 00:16:22.399
sat with him. I said, Matt, you better get yourself ready, man.
323
00:16:22.440 --> 00:16:27.590
You better prepare yourself. It's not looking good, unfortunately. You
324
00:16:29.230 --> 00:16:30.529
just got to get real.
325
00:16:30.570 --> 00:16:32.210
You got to get a little real. I mean, as
326
00:16:32.289 --> 00:16:34.289
sad as it is. I mean, we were all sad.
327
00:16:35.029 --> 00:16:36.990
Of course, but that was the reality of the situation.
328
00:16:37.009 --> 00:16:37.350
Right.
329
00:16:37.590 --> 00:16:41.730
So I called back Breen, and he delivered the news,
330
00:16:41.789 --> 00:16:43.730
and it was horrible. And I called Chad right away
331
00:16:43.750 --> 00:16:45.710
and said, I'm not coming into work tomorrow. He understood,
332
00:16:45.750 --> 00:16:50.210
of course. And then we had all these real beautiful tributes,
333
00:16:50.269 --> 00:16:54.769
the St. Patrick's funeral. And I remember that morning, like
334
00:16:54.850 --> 00:16:58.519
seven guys sitting in studio, Joe Abood and Pete Morgan
335
00:16:58.559 --> 00:17:01.419
and Corey Zelnick. And I know I'm leaving out people.
336
00:17:01.480 --> 00:17:05.480
I'm sorry, but. It was just a very difficult time,
337
00:17:05.569 --> 00:17:09.690
it was. Four years ago today. Four years ago today.
338
00:17:09.730 --> 00:17:15.990
Just unbelievable. And the irony is, this Saturday morning, Danielle
339
00:17:16.009 --> 00:17:19.019
and I will be heading to church to see his
340
00:17:19.079 --> 00:17:23.519
beautiful daughter, Melanie, get married. Since Bernard is gone the
341
00:17:23.559 --> 00:17:28.660
last four years, his son has had two children. Bernie's
342
00:17:28.680 --> 00:17:32.470
a grandfather twice. And his daughter is getting married Saturday.
343
00:17:33.509 --> 00:17:35.210
I'd like to think he's not missing any of this.
344
00:17:36.390 --> 00:17:38.569
Just like I'd like to think my dad sees all
345
00:17:38.609 --> 00:17:44.000
my success. Although I hope he can't see my Twitter account. Man,
346
00:17:44.039 --> 00:17:44.599
is that ugly.
347
00:17:44.880 --> 00:17:45.559
Die, kike.
348
00:17:45.640 --> 00:17:48.279
Have you seen all that? No, I haven't. Kike bastard,
349
00:17:48.400 --> 00:17:52.480
you bastard, die. Oh, yeah, yeah. Your time is coming.
350
00:17:53.000 --> 00:17:56.940
Thousands of them. I'm not talking about five, ten, thousands
351
00:17:57.029 --> 00:17:59.269
of them. And it doesn't matter how many times I
352
00:17:59.329 --> 00:18:02.819
block people. Because I guess they can still post. I
353
00:18:02.880 --> 00:18:05.619
can't see it once I block them, but you guys can.
354
00:18:05.980 --> 00:18:09.019
I mean, just the most despicable, and they're all cowards,
355
00:18:09.720 --> 00:18:10.339
if they're real.
356
00:18:10.539 --> 00:18:11.920
Yeah, are they real or are they bots?
357
00:18:11.960 --> 00:18:14.660
No, some of them are real. They've got thousands of followers,
358
00:18:14.740 --> 00:18:16.890
but they wouldn't say that stuff to my face because
359
00:18:16.930 --> 00:18:18.670
I'd knock their freaking teeth out. Well, of course. But
360
00:18:18.730 --> 00:18:21.450
on Twitter, they're real tough guys, you know. I'm coming
361
00:18:21.490 --> 00:18:24.569
for you, Rosenberg. Okay. You know where I am every day,
362
00:18:24.630 --> 00:18:27.369
tough guy? Every day, I don't hide it. In fact,
363
00:18:27.430 --> 00:18:30.759
I probably talk about it too much. Just shut up,
364
00:18:30.779 --> 00:18:32.140
all right? You ain't going to do nothing. You ain't
365
00:18:32.160 --> 00:18:34.660
going to say nothing. You go on Twitter like a loser.
366
00:18:34.920 --> 00:18:37.779
Nobody cares. I used to delete the messages. Now I
367
00:18:37.839 --> 00:18:40.220
leave them there so people can see what a lowlife
368
00:18:40.269 --> 00:18:47.369
you are. But anyway, Bernard is missed, and we love him.
369
00:18:47.430 --> 00:18:51.910
And again, congratulations to his daughter. On Saturday, I'll be
370
00:18:51.950 --> 00:18:55.799
there to his son and all that good stuff. Corey
371
00:18:55.819 --> 00:19:00.559
just sent me a picture, actually. It was Abood. Frank Siller.
372
00:19:00.839 --> 00:19:01.180
Wow.
373
00:19:01.660 --> 00:19:07.329
Andrew Giuliani. Me, Corey, Peter King, Pete Morgan, and Bo Dietl. Boy,
374
00:19:07.349 --> 00:19:10.710
that is some picture. Standing outside of St. Patrick's. How
375
00:19:10.730 --> 00:19:11.450
about that picture?
376
00:19:11.849 --> 00:19:12.170
Wow.
377
00:19:12.230 --> 00:19:15.779
Corey just sent it to me. That is a beautiful picture.
378
00:19:15.819 --> 00:19:19.019
Thank you, Corey. The one inside the studio that morning
379
00:19:19.460 --> 00:19:26.319
is Peter King, Corey, Pete Morgan, Andrew Giuliani, and Joseph Abboud.
380
00:19:28.710 --> 00:19:31.009
So that brings me to my weekend, which was a
381
00:19:31.049 --> 00:19:35.660
very interesting weekend. So Friday, we decided, Danielle and I,
382
00:19:35.660 --> 00:19:38.220
to stay in the city. Why? Because Danielle is training
383
00:19:38.240 --> 00:19:44.049
for her seventh New York City marathon, her 41st marathon overall.
384
00:19:44.910 --> 00:19:48.049
And she has a runner's group because it's very hard
385
00:19:48.069 --> 00:19:50.650
to run by yourself. You have to do 18 miles,
386
00:19:50.650 --> 00:19:53.410
20 miles, 22 miles. You know, Norma, it's hard to
387
00:19:53.430 --> 00:19:56.160
do it by yourself. So she's got this runner's group
388
00:19:56.980 --> 00:20:00.960
that she meets with occasionally on Saturdays, and she does
389
00:20:01.000 --> 00:20:04.099
long-distance runs with them. Somebody to talk to, somebody to
390
00:20:04.180 --> 00:20:05.960
run with, somebody to try to beat, you know the
391
00:20:05.980 --> 00:20:09.630
whole thing. So We decided to stay in the city
392
00:20:09.650 --> 00:20:12.069
because we needed to be in the city Friday night
393
00:20:12.250 --> 00:20:17.410
anyway because the Katsimatidis, our dear friends John and Margot,
394
00:20:17.809 --> 00:20:20.710
they had a big event at the beautiful Pierre Hotel.
395
00:20:21.430 --> 00:20:25.140
They were celebrating their wedding anniversary, and Margot was being
396
00:20:25.299 --> 00:20:29.759
honored by the friars that night. And what a beautiful event.
397
00:20:29.799 --> 00:20:31.500
We had a very nice table, Danielle and I. We
398
00:20:31.539 --> 00:20:35.799
sat next to my man, Dominic Carter, and his lovely wife,
399
00:20:36.599 --> 00:20:40.680
Jake Novak. Suzanne Miller and her friend. And then there
400
00:20:40.700 --> 00:20:43.880
was a bunch of ABC people inside the room that night.
401
00:20:44.400 --> 00:20:48.390
John and Margo. Margo spoke because she was being honored.
402
00:20:48.509 --> 00:20:52.069
She was so good. I'm not patronizing her. I'm not
403
00:20:52.089 --> 00:20:55.089
blowing smoke up John's ass. I'm past that point, okay?
404
00:20:55.890 --> 00:20:59.230
She was really good. Like, great. Funny. And the kids
405
00:20:59.250 --> 00:21:03.309
were there, obviously. AJ and John Jr. and his wife and,
406
00:21:04.069 --> 00:21:08.140
you know, George V. and Craig Eaton. I know I'm
407
00:21:08.240 --> 00:21:10.240
leaving out a bunch of people, but there's a lot
408
00:21:10.279 --> 00:21:14.059
of ABC people there. But maybe the biggest thrill for me, Lewis,
409
00:21:15.140 --> 00:21:18.099
was seeing a lady I haven't seen in a long time.
410
00:21:18.759 --> 00:21:22.319
And I sat next to her. I kind of blindsided her.
411
00:21:22.559 --> 00:21:26.049
And I said, I'm sorry. She said, why? I said,
412
00:21:26.609 --> 00:21:28.970
all those years I terrorized you on the I Miss
413
00:21:29.009 --> 00:21:31.799
in the Morning show. She said, oh, come on. You
414
00:21:31.880 --> 00:21:34.609
are hilarious. And you sound great now. And look how
415
00:21:34.630 --> 00:21:37.710
cute you are. I said, really? You're not mad? She goes,
416
00:21:38.089 --> 00:21:40.869
not mad. I want to come on the show. Now,
417
00:21:41.549 --> 00:21:43.109
you have three guesses, Louis.
418
00:21:43.309 --> 00:21:44.490
I'm drawing a blank.
419
00:21:44.529 --> 00:21:48.819
Who did I terrorize? Let me ask you this, madam.
420
00:21:49.779 --> 00:21:52.059
What do you think you'll find more on the beach today?
421
00:21:52.500 --> 00:21:58.960
Syringes or fingers? Bernadette Castro. Yes. I got her cell
422
00:21:58.980 --> 00:22:02.990
phone number. How crazy is that? And she hurt Deirdre
423
00:22:03.130 --> 00:22:07.039
Imus on the day before. It's like one big circle
424
00:22:07.079 --> 00:22:10.259
of life. You know, Noam? One big circle of life.
425
00:22:10.720 --> 00:22:11.160
Amazing.
426
00:22:11.450 --> 00:22:14.279
You don't understand. This lady was a regular, and I
427
00:22:14.380 --> 00:22:19.119
used to beat her, and Imus would love it. And, God,
428
00:22:19.119 --> 00:22:22.339
25 years later, she appreciated all of it. And she
429
00:22:22.359 --> 00:22:25.170
will join us, Louis, on the program this week.
430
00:22:25.190 --> 00:22:26.210
She has a great sense of humor.
431
00:22:26.269 --> 00:22:27.250
Great sense of humor.
432
00:22:27.269 --> 00:22:29.970
She's a very, very cool person. Very good person.
433
00:22:30.009 --> 00:22:30.589
Great lady.
434
00:22:30.609 --> 00:22:31.329
I really like her.
435
00:22:31.980 --> 00:22:34.240
Oh, good. She's coming on this week. How about that?
436
00:22:34.279 --> 00:22:38.240
Bernadette Castro. Stop it. Stop it. Stop that. That's what
437
00:22:38.259 --> 00:22:40.700
she would do. So we had a great night, and
438
00:22:40.720 --> 00:22:43.690
we ended up staying at the same hotel for you
439
00:22:43.730 --> 00:22:47.450
guys that will follow me closely. The first hotel, we
440
00:22:47.470 --> 00:22:49.650
ended up staying in two hotels, and then we got
441
00:22:49.690 --> 00:22:53.750
an apartment, Gateway Plaza down there by Battery Park, when
442
00:22:53.789 --> 00:22:57.210
my house had the water damage years ago. The first
443
00:22:57.269 --> 00:22:59.210
hotel we stayed at, we stayed there for a week.
444
00:22:59.809 --> 00:23:04.650
The Millennium Hotel, which is on 44th between 1st and 2nd,
445
00:23:05.200 --> 00:23:08.000
not far from the U.N., that was the place where
446
00:23:08.039 --> 00:23:11.180
I saw Flavor Flav. You guys remember that? I also
447
00:23:11.279 --> 00:23:15.089
saw Chris Cuomo outside that night, and it was also
448
00:23:15.450 --> 00:23:18.109
the hotel we stayed in when the Rosenberg family made
449
00:23:18.210 --> 00:23:20.880
our way for the first time ever, and the only
450
00:23:20.940 --> 00:23:24.869
time ever, outdoors, New Year's Eve, to watch the ball drop.
451
00:23:25.160 --> 00:23:26.930
And we saw Duran Duran. You remember all that?
452
00:23:27.170 --> 00:23:27.369
Yes.
453
00:23:27.430 --> 00:23:30.890
That was the hotel. So we stayed there again. Lovely hotel.
454
00:23:31.609 --> 00:23:34.309
And the next morning, Saturday, Danielle gets up dark and
455
00:23:34.349 --> 00:23:38.420
early to meet her running group to do a 22-mile run.
456
00:23:39.640 --> 00:23:41.299
And I stayed in bed for about an hour and
457
00:23:41.339 --> 00:23:43.720
a half. And once the sun came up, I went out.
458
00:23:44.160 --> 00:23:46.970
And I decided right down the block, literally, On the
459
00:23:47.009 --> 00:23:49.950
corner of 44th and 2nd is a coffee shop that
460
00:23:50.009 --> 00:23:53.529
I really like called John's Coffee Shop. You guys remember
461
00:23:53.569 --> 00:23:55.930
two weeks ago when I went to see Bebe speak
462
00:23:55.970 --> 00:24:00.339
at the U.N., I went for lunch first with Laura Ortiz,
463
00:24:00.900 --> 00:24:03.380
who happens to run Marco Rubio's office for the better
464
00:24:03.420 --> 00:24:06.079
part of 10 years, and we had lunch at John's
465
00:24:06.119 --> 00:24:09.839
Coffee Shop. Same place. So I walk into John's. Oh,
466
00:24:09.859 --> 00:24:11.380
my God, I'm looking at it right now on TV.
467
00:24:12.920 --> 00:24:17.170
I walk into John's at exactly 735 Saturday morning. And
468
00:24:17.230 --> 00:24:20.529
Lou and Norm, I'm the only customer in the place.
469
00:24:20.549 --> 00:24:23.890
I'm the only one. And I'm sitting there. I order
470
00:24:23.910 --> 00:24:27.089
my breakfast. And then I notice a man and a
471
00:24:27.170 --> 00:24:29.730
woman walking in. I'm alone at this point inside this
472
00:24:29.829 --> 00:24:33.279
popular coffee shop. A man and a woman walk in,
473
00:24:33.859 --> 00:24:38.000
and they sit at the very first table by the
474
00:24:38.099 --> 00:24:40.680
exit or the entrance, however you want to describe it.
475
00:24:41.940 --> 00:24:44.900
And the woman is facing me. The man has his
476
00:24:44.980 --> 00:24:48.250
back to me. But the woman is facing me, and
477
00:24:48.369 --> 00:24:51.589
I look up, and she looks up, and wouldn't you
478
00:24:51.630 --> 00:24:54.440
know it, it's the governor, Kathy Hochul.
479
00:24:54.579 --> 00:24:55.299
Oh, come on.
480
00:24:55.380 --> 00:24:59.180
And her husband, I swear to God. So at 7.50 a.m.
481
00:24:59.259 --> 00:25:03.859
on Saturday morning at John's Coffee Shop on 44th and 2nd,
482
00:25:03.880 --> 00:25:08.269
there were three people, only three, inside this coffee shop,
483
00:25:08.660 --> 00:25:12.799
and it's Sid Rosenberg, Kathy Hochul, and her husband. Laura
484
00:25:12.819 --> 00:25:14.559
Loom was like, you should have gotten up and washed
485
00:25:14.579 --> 00:25:16.819
the table. I'm not going to do that. But I
486
00:25:16.859 --> 00:25:19.619
did take a picture, and I put the picture on
487
00:25:19.660 --> 00:25:27.490
my social media, at SidRosenberg19, my Instagram, at Rosenberg.Sydney, and
488
00:25:27.529 --> 00:25:34.200
my Facebook, SidRosenberg, okay? And people started hammering Kathy. But
489
00:25:34.279 --> 00:25:41.460
as the day went along, no. They hammered me, including fat, stupid,
490
00:25:41.880 --> 00:25:45.519
out of Bay Ridge, Brooklyn, Justin Brannan, who called it creepy,
491
00:25:45.579 --> 00:25:47.980
I guess, that I would take a picture of somebody.
492
00:25:48.000 --> 00:25:51.660
What are you talking about? He's a famous person, right?
493
00:25:52.279 --> 00:25:55.289
He's inside a restaurant. I'm in the same restaurant. I
494
00:25:55.309 --> 00:25:58.730
took a picture. I said, look, even the worst governor
495
00:25:58.869 --> 00:26:01.430
in the country eats, too. How about that?
496
00:26:01.490 --> 00:26:01.710
No.
497
00:26:01.829 --> 00:26:03.109
Yeah, that's she's fair game.
498
00:26:03.150 --> 00:26:06.809
If she's, of course, Justin Brannan, you fat, stupid moron.
499
00:26:07.619 --> 00:26:09.990
So what? I took a picture. What does she think
500
00:26:10.049 --> 00:26:13.569
is going to happen? She's walking around with a hat on, sunglasses,
501
00:26:13.630 --> 00:26:17.150
like incognito. You know, like people are really going to
502
00:26:17.210 --> 00:26:20.009
care about her. Meantime, two people walked up to me
503
00:26:20.029 --> 00:26:22.769
in the diner. Nobody walked up to her. Not one person.
504
00:26:23.470 --> 00:26:25.630
I swear to God, not one. And I found out
505
00:26:25.970 --> 00:26:28.470
that she was in town staying in the city because
506
00:26:28.509 --> 00:26:32.450
she went to that real creep Al Sharpton's birthday party. Well,
507
00:26:32.470 --> 00:26:32.910
how about that?
508
00:26:32.970 --> 00:26:33.130
No.
509
00:26:34.430 --> 00:26:37.490
So there's Hochul. And I put this stuff on my
510
00:26:37.910 --> 00:26:40.490
social media. And for about a day and a half,
511
00:26:40.769 --> 00:26:44.490
I am getting destroyed on social media. I'm a creep.
512
00:26:44.910 --> 00:26:49.279
I'm a pedophile. I'm a weirdo. All these nasty things
513
00:26:49.339 --> 00:26:52.059
because I would take a picture of somebody when they
514
00:26:52.079 --> 00:26:54.680
were trying to enjoy their breakfast. Give me a break.
515
00:26:54.700 --> 00:26:58.099
You know what I'm saying? I mean, she's a public figure.
516
00:26:58.500 --> 00:27:02.130
She's famous. I'm sure it's not the first time somebody
517
00:27:02.630 --> 00:27:05.619
on her side or against her took a picture of
518
00:27:05.680 --> 00:27:07.519
her without her knowing. What do you think, Norm?
519
00:27:07.680 --> 00:27:08.319
Oh, all the time.
520
00:27:08.460 --> 00:27:12.119
Of course. What is Justin Brannan talking about? You have
521
00:27:12.160 --> 00:27:12.559
any idea?
522
00:27:12.579 --> 00:27:12.640
No.
523
00:27:13.079 --> 00:27:13.180
No.
524
00:27:14.259 --> 00:27:15.960
I think he just hates you, so he figures any
525
00:27:16.000 --> 00:27:16.819
way to attack you.
526
00:27:17.079 --> 00:27:20.839
So then Kathy Hochul's office, because she would never do
527
00:27:20.920 --> 00:27:25.890
it on her account, but that guy, he's such a pussy.
528
00:27:26.130 --> 00:27:28.369
I know who the guy is, and he runs her
529
00:27:28.789 --> 00:27:33.319
Twitter account. It's actually Kathy Hochul's office. takes a picture
530
00:27:33.400 --> 00:27:37.329
of me, an old picture, speaking earlier this year at
531
00:27:37.369 --> 00:27:41.069
the Jerusalem Post conference where I look really tan, like
532
00:27:41.130 --> 00:27:43.369
really tan, you know. And the new thing ever since
533
00:27:43.849 --> 00:27:50.299
Jon Stewart attacked me on Super Bowl night is Thanos purple. Purple, purple, purple,
534
00:27:50.339 --> 00:27:51.619
that's a big joke. You know that, right?
535
00:27:51.660 --> 00:27:51.779
No?
536
00:27:52.420 --> 00:27:55.519
They just refer to me as purple, purple, purple. That's
537
00:27:55.900 --> 00:27:59.650
their comeback for everything, you know. Purple said it so stupid.
538
00:28:00.230 --> 00:28:02.710
And so they put up a picture of Kathy Hochul's office,
539
00:28:03.230 --> 00:28:06.130
and they're like, this was the color of Sid. This
540
00:28:06.210 --> 00:28:08.319
is what he looked like when he took a picture
541
00:28:08.359 --> 00:28:10.359
of the governor. That's their comeback note.
542
00:28:10.380 --> 00:28:11.099
I don't even get it.
543
00:28:11.240 --> 00:28:13.720
I don't either. No, it's a shot at my tan.
544
00:28:14.400 --> 00:28:14.960
That's all they do.
545
00:28:14.960 --> 00:28:15.859
I know, but it's not even funny.
546
00:28:15.960 --> 00:28:16.279
No.
547
00:28:17.039 --> 00:28:20.240
Right? Not even, like, stupid, right?
548
00:28:20.420 --> 00:28:20.640
Yeah.
549
00:28:20.740 --> 00:28:21.380
Like, stupid.
550
00:28:21.420 --> 00:28:23.240
This is on their campaign site?
551
00:28:23.259 --> 00:28:23.660
Yes.
552
00:28:23.900 --> 00:28:24.000
Wow.
553
00:28:24.910 --> 00:28:27.109
You'd think they would say something like, ah, Rosenberg is
554
00:28:27.210 --> 00:28:30.759
stalking Hochul. Wonder if President Trump put him up to it. No,
555
00:28:30.779 --> 00:28:33.420
forget about President Trump. Wonder if Bruce Blakeman put him
556
00:28:33.480 --> 00:28:34.339
up to it.
557
00:28:34.759 --> 00:28:35.039
Right.
558
00:28:35.079 --> 00:28:36.079
Something like that.
559
00:28:36.160 --> 00:28:36.420
Right.
560
00:28:36.839 --> 00:28:39.619
Bruce Blakeman must be paying Sid to follow Hochul around
561
00:28:39.640 --> 00:28:43.700
the city. Something like that. No, instead, they do what
562
00:28:43.920 --> 00:28:47.279
all my haters do on social media now. It's not funny.
563
00:28:47.660 --> 00:28:48.599
It's not creative.
564
00:28:48.740 --> 00:28:49.519
It's stupid.
565
00:28:49.839 --> 00:28:52.740
They make purple references. Isn't that unbelievable?
566
00:28:55.380 --> 00:28:57.880
I'm sort of just surprised they came after you at all.
567
00:28:57.980 --> 00:29:01.509
Yeah, they did. They did. I forgot the name of
568
00:29:01.549 --> 00:29:06.349
that Twitter account. Is it Kathy Hochul's office? Kathy Hochul's administration?
569
00:29:07.029 --> 00:29:08.369
It's on Twitter. You can look it up.
570
00:29:08.390 --> 00:29:10.950
So what did you write about her that she felt
571
00:29:11.009 --> 00:29:12.609
that she had to write something about you?
572
00:29:12.849 --> 00:29:17.470
I wrote on Twitter, was enjoying a quiet Saturday morning
573
00:29:17.539 --> 00:29:20.700
breakfast in the city till this lady sat down three
574
00:29:20.740 --> 00:29:24.250
tables away from me. I guess the worst governor in
575
00:29:24.289 --> 00:29:28.619
the nation has to eat, too. What are the odds? Rosenberg,
576
00:29:28.680 --> 00:29:31.880
and then I tagged her, Governor Kathy Hochul, on a
577
00:29:31.960 --> 00:29:35.490
Saturday morning. Vote for Bruce Blakeman in November like your
578
00:29:35.529 --> 00:29:38.029
life depends on it, because it does.
579
00:29:38.309 --> 00:29:39.609
See, that's pretty tame for you.
580
00:29:39.690 --> 00:29:39.829
Yes.
581
00:29:40.279 --> 00:29:42.539
I didn't call her a skank, a wench, a witch.
582
00:29:42.960 --> 00:29:45.599
All the things I've called her in the past. Nothing.
583
00:29:46.029 --> 00:29:49.450
None of that. And Justin Brannan with his fat, stupid
584
00:29:49.509 --> 00:29:54.069
mouth and many other Democrats and all these lunatics that
585
00:29:54.109 --> 00:29:57.670
hate my guts. Killing me on Twitter. I mean, what
586
00:29:57.690 --> 00:30:02.630
are you kidding me? That's what you're going to say? Unbelievable, huh, no?
587
00:30:02.910 --> 00:30:04.849
I mean, that's just easy. I mean, if you're going
588
00:30:04.869 --> 00:30:06.549
to come after me, at least be a little bit creative.
589
00:30:06.569 --> 00:30:06.869
I mean, right.
590
00:30:07.529 --> 00:30:11.450
My tan, I'm Jewish. What do you got? How about
591
00:30:11.509 --> 00:30:15.529
a policy difference? Right? How about a policy difference? A
592
00:30:15.569 --> 00:30:17.970
bunch of people said, oh, let me guess, you're with
593
00:30:17.990 --> 00:30:20.940
the Cornell 7. Did you listen to the show on Friday?
594
00:30:21.400 --> 00:30:22.720
Could anybody make that statement?
595
00:30:22.759 --> 00:30:23.279
No? No.
596
00:30:23.440 --> 00:30:23.680
No.
597
00:30:24.740 --> 00:30:27.099
I sympathize with the girl on Friday. I said, at
598
00:30:27.140 --> 00:30:31.509
the very least... These men, boys, are guilty, at the
599
00:30:31.549 --> 00:30:35.569
very least, of reprehensible behavior when seven guys have sex
600
00:30:35.609 --> 00:30:38.990
with one girl. Criminally, I don't know yet. I don't
601
00:30:39.029 --> 00:30:41.609
know yet. But at the very least, what they did
602
00:30:41.690 --> 00:30:46.130
was morally reprehensible. Is that siding with the Cornell 7?
603
00:30:46.109 --> 00:30:46.769
Not even close.
604
00:30:46.789 --> 00:30:50.430
Not even close. But it doesn't matter anymore what you
605
00:30:50.569 --> 00:30:54.710
say or what you do. It doesn't matter. People are
606
00:30:54.910 --> 00:30:58.059
stupid for the most part. I used to think the
607
00:30:58.099 --> 00:31:00.420
minority of people were stupid. Most of us were smart.
608
00:31:00.720 --> 00:31:03.019
I don't think that anymore. I really believe the majority
609
00:31:03.039 --> 00:31:05.380
of people are stupid. Well, how about that, Norm?
610
00:31:06.259 --> 00:31:07.000
I agree with you.
611
00:31:07.859 --> 00:31:09.000
I agree with you, too.
612
00:31:09.319 --> 00:31:13.299
So Kathy Hochul and I had breakfast together on Saturday morning.
613
00:31:13.940 --> 00:31:16.319
Not really together. But we were in the same place
614
00:31:16.400 --> 00:31:17.099
at the same time.
615
00:31:17.420 --> 00:31:19.059
You must have, while you were sitting there, because you
616
00:31:19.079 --> 00:31:20.720
were by yourself, think for a moment, you know, I
617
00:31:20.740 --> 00:31:23.240
should probably go over and just say something to her.
618
00:31:23.380 --> 00:31:26.680
I mean, I thought about like dropping a napkin on
619
00:31:26.720 --> 00:31:29.700
a table. Right. Vote for Bruce Blakeman, something like that.
620
00:31:29.720 --> 00:31:31.279
But I actually thought about buying her breakfast.
621
00:31:31.680 --> 00:31:33.220
Did she have security with her or no?
622
00:31:33.319 --> 00:31:37.980
Nothing. She walked in with her husband at about 7.45 a.m.
623
00:31:38.039 --> 00:31:40.880
Saturday morning, just the two of them, and then walked out.
624
00:31:41.920 --> 00:31:43.640
And she kept looking up and looking right at me.
625
00:31:43.660 --> 00:31:46.470
I looked right at her. I didn't stare her down.
626
00:31:46.509 --> 00:31:48.789
I mean, have your breakfast. It's fine. And I was
627
00:31:49.069 --> 00:31:51.450
I was going to say something that I wasn't. And
628
00:31:52.309 --> 00:31:54.859
now if I had said something or caused a scene,
629
00:31:55.380 --> 00:31:59.420
then stupid Justin Briner or somebody else should certainly say something.
630
00:31:59.460 --> 00:32:03.640
But snapping a picture. So what? Who cares? Right.
631
00:32:03.819 --> 00:32:05.279
In fact, you did the right thing. You just left
632
00:32:05.319 --> 00:32:08.029
her alone. She was just having breakfast. She did.
633
00:32:08.329 --> 00:32:10.529
And trust me, I thought about it ten times. Am
634
00:32:10.569 --> 00:32:12.819
I getting up? Am I walking over? Am I getting up?
635
00:32:12.950 --> 00:32:14.319
Am I walking over? I didn't do it.
636
00:32:14.650 --> 00:32:15.630
What would you say?
637
00:32:15.670 --> 00:32:17.990
What am I going to say, right? You suck. What
638
00:32:19.119 --> 00:32:22.859
am I going to say? So that was my big
639
00:32:22.920 --> 00:32:23.680
Saturday morning.
640
00:32:23.700 --> 00:32:24.200
Wow, that's big.
641
00:32:24.579 --> 00:32:26.759
And then I went to Adrian's Saturday night, and I'll
642
00:32:26.779 --> 00:32:29.769
be at Adrian's this Saturday for the great Lou Ruffino.
643
00:32:30.630 --> 00:32:33.890
So it was a big weekend, I must say. There
644
00:32:33.910 --> 00:32:35.529
was a lot of news this weekend. I know the
645
00:32:35.630 --> 00:32:39.970
mayor and Curtis got their shot together. I posted that video.
646
00:32:40.289 --> 00:32:43.240
Rios found that for me out in New Jersey. She
647
00:32:43.259 --> 00:32:46.099
calls herself, I guess she goes by the Queen of
648
00:32:46.240 --> 00:32:50.259
Palestine on Instagram. I guess she's popular. I don't know
649
00:32:50.299 --> 00:32:53.940
who she is, but I've seen some of her stuff before,
650
00:32:54.400 --> 00:32:56.450
and she was talking about the Spike Lee story. You
651
00:32:56.490 --> 00:32:57.269
know that story, right?
652
00:32:57.759 --> 00:32:59.539
The one where somebody came up to him at the
653
00:32:59.559 --> 00:33:00.099
Yankees game?
654
00:33:00.160 --> 00:33:01.839
Yeah, it was the last week at the Yankee game
655
00:33:01.880 --> 00:33:04.900
in the Bronx, and they said, hey, will you say F-Palestine?
656
00:33:05.240 --> 00:33:10.720
Not Free Palestine, F-Palestine. And little Spike Lee got very
657
00:33:10.849 --> 00:33:15.490
angry and started yelling and screaming, you know. Spike Lee,
658
00:33:15.529 --> 00:33:17.529
who you guys remember I reached out to a couple
659
00:33:17.549 --> 00:33:21.450
of months ago, and he was very nice. And then
660
00:33:21.490 --> 00:33:23.750
I called him back to make an appearance on the show,
661
00:33:24.880 --> 00:33:27.240
and he lost it. Right away he goes, man, I
662
00:33:27.299 --> 00:33:30.000
know who you are. I go, what are you talking about, bro?
663
00:33:30.019 --> 00:33:31.799
I go, I know what you said about me when
664
00:33:32.180 --> 00:33:37.789
I wore my outfit at the basketball game. I go, yeah, yeah, yeah, Spike, Spike,
665
00:33:38.230 --> 00:33:41.210
take it easy. Calm down, tough guy, okay? All four
666
00:33:41.250 --> 00:33:43.990
put three of you. Calm down. You were dressed like
667
00:33:44.029 --> 00:33:48.490
a Palestinian because Denny from the Portland Trailblazers is an Israeli.
668
00:33:48.829 --> 00:33:51.829
I never, no, I didn't even know. I didn't even
669
00:33:51.970 --> 00:33:54.549
know that that man was from Israel. You didn't know?
670
00:33:55.220 --> 00:33:57.289
You're like the biggest basketball fan in the world, you
671
00:33:57.390 --> 00:34:01.869
freaking liar. You liar, Spike Lee, you knew. Lying son
672
00:34:01.910 --> 00:34:05.410
of a bitch. I didn't know. And what about all
673
00:34:05.450 --> 00:34:09.130
those babies getting killed in Palestine? I go, hey, Spike, stupid, okay?
674
00:34:09.429 --> 00:34:11.949
Babies aren't getting killed in Palestine. Where are you getting
675
00:34:11.969 --> 00:34:15.530
information from? Let me guess, the Palestinian health ministry run
676
00:34:15.550 --> 00:34:19.699
by Hamas. Because everybody else says it, that you hang
677
00:34:19.739 --> 00:34:22.019
out with Spike. How about do your homework? How about
678
00:34:22.059 --> 00:34:24.579
be smarter? I don't got to talk to you.
679
00:34:24.739 --> 00:34:24.960
Click.
680
00:34:25.219 --> 00:34:28.429
Hung up the phone on me. He can't make it up.
681
00:34:28.920 --> 00:34:31.940
And the funny part is, the day after Spike Lee
682
00:34:32.000 --> 00:34:33.719
did that to me, because this was during the Knicks
683
00:34:33.760 --> 00:34:36.050
championship run, that's when I wanted to bring him on.
684
00:34:36.909 --> 00:34:39.369
The very next day, Tracy Morgan came on the show
685
00:34:39.650 --> 00:34:40.989
and was great. You guys remember that?
686
00:34:41.070 --> 00:34:41.230
Yeah.
687
00:34:42.099 --> 00:34:46.940
So Spike Lee, clearly very sensitive when you bring up Palestine.
688
00:34:47.219 --> 00:34:47.500
Why?
689
00:34:47.860 --> 00:34:49.610
And I hope it gets back to him because Spike
690
00:34:49.639 --> 00:34:52.710
Lee is a moron. He's a moron. He's a racist.
691
00:34:52.809 --> 00:34:53.510
He's a moron.
692
00:34:53.570 --> 00:34:54.230
And he's stupid.
693
00:34:55.250 --> 00:34:57.510
Now, I do like some of his movies. 25th Hour
694
00:34:57.550 --> 00:34:59.269
was great. You know.
695
00:34:59.530 --> 00:35:00.110
Do the Right Thing.
696
00:35:00.269 --> 00:35:02.389
Do the Right Thing was pretty good. Daniel Yellow was
697
00:35:02.409 --> 00:35:03.170
in that. I miss him.
698
00:35:03.349 --> 00:35:04.110
X was pretty good.
699
00:35:05.030 --> 00:35:08.969
You know, he made some good movies. But as a person,
700
00:35:09.789 --> 00:35:12.400
he's a loser. And I hope it gets back to you, Spike.
701
00:35:12.440 --> 00:35:15.519
You're a loser. And you're dumb. I mean, can't any
702
00:35:15.559 --> 00:35:18.659
of you people who hang out in these circles really
703
00:35:18.719 --> 00:35:22.449
do your homework? Just do your homework. You know, we're
704
00:35:22.489 --> 00:35:25.269
getting ready in two days to commemorate October the 7th.
705
00:35:25.590 --> 00:35:31.239
That was the genocide. That was the criminality. Not Bibi Netanyahu,
706
00:35:31.539 --> 00:35:38.030
not Israel, not how Israel defends themselves. That's not the issue. Okay, dummy? Well,
707
00:35:38.050 --> 00:35:40.269
both could be true. Yeah, it could be true if
708
00:35:40.349 --> 00:35:44.610
it was true. But it's not. No country in the world,
709
00:35:44.690 --> 00:35:49.219
including the United States, does a better job of protecting civilians.
710
00:35:49.429 --> 00:35:50.179
Do some die?
711
00:35:50.219 --> 00:35:50.860
Of course.
712
00:35:51.840 --> 00:35:55.010
Of course. Maybe you want to blame Hamas for setting
713
00:35:55.050 --> 00:35:59.170
up their headquarters in schools where children are. Guess what?
714
00:35:59.750 --> 00:36:02.010
Israel is going to kill the terrorists and innocent people
715
00:36:02.050 --> 00:36:05.030
are going to die. That's how it goes when you
716
00:36:05.070 --> 00:36:09.659
go in unprovoked and murder 1,300 people on a Shabbat
717
00:36:09.880 --> 00:36:14.659
holiday morning, you dumb bastard. Hamas puts their headquarters in
718
00:36:15.099 --> 00:36:18.949
schools and hospitals and all those places where people are killed.
719
00:36:20.210 --> 00:36:23.010
Accusing Israel of committing genocide because you're not doing your
720
00:36:23.090 --> 00:36:27.730
homework and you're dumb. And Spike, you're just one of them. Congratulations.
721
00:36:28.340 --> 00:36:30.940
Good Nick fan. Make a good movie every now and then.
722
00:36:31.019 --> 00:36:36.139
But otherwise, complete loser. Think it gets back to him, though?
723
00:36:36.500 --> 00:36:37.420
That'll get back to him, yeah.
724
00:36:37.539 --> 00:36:39.900
So Kathy Hochul and Spike Lee love me this morning.
725
00:36:39.920 --> 00:36:40.340
What do you think?
726
00:36:41.099 --> 00:36:42.639
Two members of your fan club.
727
00:36:42.659 --> 00:36:45.300
Yeah, I love both of those people. And you know what?
728
00:36:45.400 --> 00:36:46.800
Add a third one to the list. Let's go up
729
00:36:46.820 --> 00:36:49.929
with three. What do you say? Zach Bryan. What are
730
00:36:49.949 --> 00:36:55.010
you doing? Zach Bryan showing solidarity to Macklemore and Ed
731
00:36:55.090 --> 00:36:59.699
Sheeran wearing a free Palestine shirt at Gillette Stadium, the
732
00:36:59.739 --> 00:37:02.960
same place where Robert Kraft made sure that Macklemore couldn't perform.
733
00:37:03.199 --> 00:37:05.480
And I found out this morning that our very own
734
00:37:05.519 --> 00:37:08.239
Justin Ellick is a huge Zach Bryan fan.
735
00:37:08.300 --> 00:37:08.619
Really?
736
00:37:08.800 --> 00:37:08.980
Yes.
737
00:37:09.000 --> 00:37:11.519
What do you think about that?
738
00:37:12.119 --> 00:37:14.309
He wanted to stick it in the eye of Kraft,
739
00:37:14.369 --> 00:37:15.510
do it right in the stadium.
740
00:37:15.710 --> 00:37:16.090
He did it.
741
00:37:16.489 --> 00:37:16.829
And he did.
742
00:37:17.449 --> 00:37:19.190
He did it. I don't really know a lot of
743
00:37:19.230 --> 00:37:22.519
his music. I like country music. I'm not a crazy
744
00:37:22.579 --> 00:37:24.940
country music person. I do like it. And I like,
745
00:37:24.960 --> 00:37:28.920
for the most part, what those people stand for. Republicans, conservatives,
746
00:37:29.219 --> 00:37:32.639
real Americans. Not like Spike Lee. But I'm not a
747
00:37:32.760 --> 00:37:34.920
huge fan of Zach Bryan. I mean, I guess if
748
00:37:34.940 --> 00:37:37.809
you play his song, I'll recognize it. But I just
749
00:37:37.849 --> 00:37:41.510
don't care, you know. Free Palestine. Yeah, I don't know.
750
00:37:41.530 --> 00:37:42.969
Are you a big fan of Zach?
751
00:37:43.170 --> 00:37:46.710
I know him. I just am not quite so familiar.
752
00:37:46.769 --> 00:37:47.670
I know Justin's into it.
753
00:37:48.420 --> 00:37:52.119
Yeah, Justin loves him. What big news stories? I guess
754
00:37:52.139 --> 00:37:56.510
the other one out of Israel is that the co-pilot
755
00:37:57.090 --> 00:37:59.070
was looking, or was it the pilot? I keep forgetting
756
00:37:59.090 --> 00:38:00.090
which one was the bad guy.
757
00:38:00.250 --> 00:38:00.829
He was the co-pilot.
758
00:38:00.869 --> 00:38:04.969
The co-pilot was, his intention, at least this is what
759
00:38:04.989 --> 00:38:07.829
the Israeli found out, was he was going to kill
760
00:38:07.869 --> 00:38:11.550
the pilot, which he almost did, and crash the plane
761
00:38:11.719 --> 00:38:15.380
into Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv, which would have
762
00:38:15.400 --> 00:38:18.380
been a huge, huge accident. Disaster.
763
00:38:19.019 --> 00:38:19.300
Huge.
764
00:38:19.460 --> 00:38:21.219
It's amazing when you think about all the people who
765
00:38:21.300 --> 00:38:25.320
ran in to grab that co-pilot, that plumber, who grabbed
766
00:38:25.340 --> 00:38:27.980
to put him in a chokehold, grabbed him to the ground,
767
00:38:28.000 --> 00:38:29.809
and then you had other passengers who tied him up.
768
00:38:30.170 --> 00:38:30.389
Yeah.
769
00:38:30.530 --> 00:38:32.269
Hold on. You're talking about the plumber?
770
00:38:32.289 --> 00:38:32.789
Yeah.
771
00:38:32.809 --> 00:38:34.469
Have you ever heard of Ami Kozak?
772
00:38:34.869 --> 00:38:35.070
No.
773
00:38:35.510 --> 00:38:38.150
Oh, my God. He's hilarious. He's a comedian. I think
774
00:38:38.170 --> 00:38:43.900
he's Israeli. And he does impersonations like Lou. He's so good.
775
00:38:44.440 --> 00:38:46.280
So I saw him this weekend do a whole thing
776
00:38:46.360 --> 00:38:50.380
on Tucker Carlson. And it sounded like Tucker exactly. It
777
00:38:50.699 --> 00:38:54.320
doesn't look like Tucker. But he did a whole, I guess,
778
00:38:54.400 --> 00:38:59.340
spoof on President Trump recapping the fly Dubai cockpit attack
779
00:38:59.639 --> 00:39:02.900
and specifically talking about the plumber. You want to hear it? Yeah.
780
00:39:03.139 --> 00:39:06.760
This is Ami Kozak. Lewis, this is cut number four,
781
00:39:07.139 --> 00:39:09.010
talking about Trump and the plumber.
782
00:39:10.369 --> 00:39:13.409
Just listen to Donald Trump's recap of the events.
783
00:39:13.489 --> 00:39:13.889
This guy.
784
00:39:15.650 --> 00:39:18.849
Storms the cockpit, he restrains the guy, and he's a plumber.
785
00:39:18.869 --> 00:39:22.389
He's an Israeli plumber. He's a plumber, if you can
786
00:39:22.389 --> 00:39:25.929
believe it. He's a plumber, and he grabs he grabs the,
787
00:39:26.960 --> 00:39:28.719
he grabs the lever and he pulls it up.
788
00:39:28.780 --> 00:39:30.239
He pulls up the lever.
789
00:39:29.920 --> 00:39:32.019
And these aren't like those old steering wheel planes that,
790
00:39:32.179 --> 00:39:33.739
and you know, the ones we used to fly. This
791
00:39:33.800 --> 00:39:36.599
is a, this is, and he's never, he never flown
792
00:39:36.639 --> 00:39:39.150
a plane in his life. He's a plumber, but I
793
00:39:39.179 --> 00:39:41.730
guess he's used to dealing with a lot of and
794
00:39:41.789 --> 00:39:43.929
he grabbed the lever and he's, he must be, he's
795
00:39:43.949 --> 00:39:47.590
lifting pipe all day. Lifting pipe all day. He lifts
796
00:39:47.630 --> 00:39:49.809
the lever and he sees this show about planes. I
797
00:39:50.510 --> 00:39:51.769
don't like to watch that show.
798
00:39:52.550 --> 00:39:53.570
You know, all the craziness.
799
00:39:53.610 --> 00:39:54.409
He lifts the pipe.
800
00:39:54.769 --> 00:39:59.030
They tied the person down. They tied his arms, the terrorist.
801
00:39:59.070 --> 00:40:01.170
And this guy was in bad shape, really bad shape.
802
00:40:01.190 --> 00:40:04.090
The other pilot, he was stabbed by a whack job
803
00:40:04.130 --> 00:40:07.510
or a terrorist or both. Probably both. A whack job terrorist.
804
00:40:08.469 --> 00:40:10.920
Stabs the pilot. They help the pilot. There's a lot
805
00:40:10.960 --> 00:40:11.800
of doctors on board.
806
00:40:11.840 --> 00:40:12.699
They're Jewish, of course.
807
00:40:12.719 --> 00:40:13.619
There's a lot of doctors.
808
00:40:14.219 --> 00:40:16.219
This guy lifts the plane and he safely lands the
809
00:40:16.239 --> 00:40:17.539
plane because he watches these shows.
810
00:40:17.579 --> 00:40:18.239
Can you believe that?
811
00:40:19.619 --> 00:40:20.860
And he lands the plane.
812
00:40:20.909 --> 00:40:22.849
A beautiful job landing a beautiful plane.
813
00:40:24.070 --> 00:40:24.869
A beautiful plane.
814
00:40:25.570 --> 00:40:28.030
Gives me second thoughts about the plane I got from Qatar.
815
00:40:28.050 --> 00:40:30.030
I might have some Israelis on board just in case
816
00:40:30.150 --> 00:40:31.530
they need to land it because I don't know what's
817
00:40:31.550 --> 00:40:33.320
going on with that Qatari plane they gave me.
818
00:40:34.030 --> 00:40:34.960
But this is a plumber.
819
00:40:35.000 --> 00:40:37.239
If a plumber can do this, my God, my plumber
820
00:40:37.260 --> 00:40:39.880
could barely fix the stuffed toilet I did the other day.
821
00:40:40.239 --> 00:40:41.380
It was a lot of happy meals.
822
00:40:41.440 --> 00:40:42.420
I had a lot of happy meals.
823
00:40:43.269 --> 00:40:44.210
And it was a disaster.
824
00:40:44.250 --> 00:40:46.210
It was a total disaster. The plumber couldn't fix it.
825
00:40:46.269 --> 00:40:48.329
I need to get some Israeli plumbers because not only
826
00:40:48.369 --> 00:40:51.349
can they stuff and unstuff and unclog the toilet, they
827
00:40:51.369 --> 00:40:52.949
can safely land hijacked planes.
828
00:40:52.969 --> 00:40:53.630
Can you believe that?
829
00:40:57.150 --> 00:40:58.090
Pretty good, no, guys?
830
00:40:58.130 --> 00:40:58.750
Yeah, that was good.
831
00:40:59.150 --> 00:41:02.050
Ami Kozak is this guy's name. You've got to go
832
00:41:02.090 --> 00:41:07.429
watch him on Instagram. He has so many amazing videos
833
00:41:07.489 --> 00:41:09.489
like that. Okay, so what was the rest of that story?
834
00:41:09.550 --> 00:41:10.010
I'm sorry.
835
00:41:10.030 --> 00:41:11.730
Oh, I was just saying that.
836
00:41:12.630 --> 00:41:15.670
They now think that that co-pilot was a lone wolf.
837
00:41:15.769 --> 00:41:16.500
That's what they're going for.
838
00:41:16.530 --> 00:41:18.329
Lone wolf. I believe that, too. And then you have,
839
00:41:18.369 --> 00:41:21.360
of course, again, the folks that want to blame Israel
840
00:41:21.389 --> 00:41:25.880
for everything, the real Jew haters, the Holocaust deniers, even
841
00:41:25.900 --> 00:41:31.280
not Jew haters, America haters, the 9-11 deniers. And now
842
00:41:31.300 --> 00:41:33.739
you've got people saying this thing with the airplane never happened.
843
00:41:34.099 --> 00:41:37.119
Well, and then you have if the Israelis are so genocidal.
844
00:41:37.690 --> 00:41:40.309
Wouldn't it have been okay for the people on board
845
00:41:40.389 --> 00:41:41.659
to have killed that pilot?
846
00:41:41.909 --> 00:41:42.110
Of course.
847
00:41:42.199 --> 00:41:43.440
I mean, they could have taken him out right there.
848
00:41:43.599 --> 00:41:43.960
Of course.
849
00:41:44.000 --> 00:41:46.320
It was quite the opposite. They administered aid.
850
00:41:46.179 --> 00:41:46.840
To that guy.
851
00:41:46.860 --> 00:41:47.559
I know.
852
00:41:47.599 --> 00:41:49.639
They gave him medical aid until the plane landed.
853
00:41:49.699 --> 00:41:52.239
It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. Nobody cares about the
854
00:41:52.300 --> 00:41:54.880
facts anymore. Hating on stuff is fantastic.
855
00:41:54.900 --> 00:41:55.880
It was pretty great.
856
00:41:56.079 --> 00:42:00.239
Over the weekend, the prime minister, Bibi Netanyahu, went on to, like,
857
00:42:00.280 --> 00:42:03.969
the equivalent of Yelp in Israel, you know, a review site,
858
00:42:04.010 --> 00:42:06.909
to say that Yaniv Hayon, the plumber, is a great plumber.
859
00:42:07.510 --> 00:42:09.550
And anybody in Israel should use him. He said, I
860
00:42:09.860 --> 00:42:11.139
give him, you know, five stars.
861
00:42:11.340 --> 00:42:13.659
Yeah, I think Laura Loomer was at a rally with
862
00:42:13.679 --> 00:42:16.039
the president on Friday. And she was on this show
863
00:42:16.780 --> 00:42:21.800
the day before. And she played the video where one
864
00:42:21.820 --> 00:42:23.699
of these guys, I don't think it was a plumber,
865
00:42:23.739 --> 00:42:27.440
but one of them said to Bibi, can you make
866
00:42:27.480 --> 00:42:30.239
my dream happen? I want to meet Trump. Did you
867
00:42:30.280 --> 00:42:30.519
see that?
868
00:42:30.539 --> 00:42:31.219
Yeah, that was the plumber.
869
00:42:31.280 --> 00:42:33.579
It was a plumber. So Laura Loomer, I guess, is
870
00:42:33.599 --> 00:42:36.170
the one that made President Trump aware of it. She
871
00:42:36.190 --> 00:42:38.070
was on this show the day before. Her and I
872
00:42:38.070 --> 00:42:41.750
are close. And Trump did the truth social about it.
873
00:42:41.869 --> 00:42:43.510
And then he did the video afterwards, I guess, and
874
00:42:43.530 --> 00:42:44.230
maybe at the same time.
875
00:42:44.289 --> 00:42:44.610
I don't know.
876
00:42:45.250 --> 00:42:47.010
But I think Laura Loomer was the one who made
877
00:42:47.070 --> 00:42:48.070
him aware of that.
878
00:42:48.179 --> 00:42:49.599
I mean, when you think about what this guy did,
879
00:42:49.639 --> 00:42:52.980
he put the that pilot, the attacker into a chokehold.
880
00:42:53.019 --> 00:42:54.980
He grabs and pulls him out of the cockpit.
881
00:42:55.469 --> 00:42:57.070
And then because he had been a big fan of
882
00:42:57.110 --> 00:43:00.769
this TV show called Mayday Air Crash Investigation, which I've
883
00:43:00.809 --> 00:43:03.349
never heard of, but he had watched enough that he
884
00:43:03.429 --> 00:43:05.260
knew what to do to right the plane.
885
00:43:05.280 --> 00:43:06.880
You know, it was in dive mode at that point.
886
00:43:07.320 --> 00:43:09.820
And he righted the plane until there just coincidentally was
887
00:43:09.860 --> 00:43:12.179
another crew on board that took over and then landed
888
00:43:12.199 --> 00:43:12.599
the plane.
889
00:43:12.920 --> 00:43:13.300
Unreal.
890
00:43:13.500 --> 00:43:16.780
About 15,000 feet. Look at Craig Carton back on Fox News.
891
00:43:16.840 --> 00:43:19.289
He's on like every day, this kid. I saw him
892
00:43:19.329 --> 00:43:22.730
last week. on with Brian Kilmeade on Fox and Friends.
893
00:43:23.030 --> 00:43:27.409
He's on right now. WNBA star A.J. Wilson's fan clash
894
00:43:27.769 --> 00:43:32.440
sparks firestorm. So he replaced Clay Travis with Outkick, you know.
895
00:43:33.159 --> 00:43:36.699
He was doing Fox Sports. Fox Sports won. He left
896
00:43:36.980 --> 00:43:39.800
WFAN with the Fox Sports one. Then he left Fox
897
00:43:39.840 --> 00:43:42.219
Sports one to go back to WFAN. But he was
898
00:43:42.239 --> 00:43:45.360
still doing a podcast on Fox Sports. And that made
899
00:43:45.420 --> 00:43:47.920
Fox News part of the family. So now he's got
900
00:43:47.960 --> 00:43:50.340
the outkick gig, and he's on Boxing Plans every week,
901
00:43:50.739 --> 00:43:54.530
sitting on the couch right now with Lawrence Jones, Brian Kilmeade,
902
00:43:54.550 --> 00:43:55.570
and Ainsley Earhart.
903
00:43:55.650 --> 00:43:55.829
Me?
904
00:43:55.849 --> 00:43:59.070
I can't get anywhere near the place. They have security
905
00:43:59.150 --> 00:44:02.050
blocks away keeping me out of there. Way to go, Craig.
906
00:44:02.130 --> 00:44:02.690
What else you got?
907
00:44:02.750 --> 00:44:03.630
He's on the couch, I said.
908
00:44:03.650 --> 00:44:04.760
He's on the couch. Wow.
909
00:44:04.929 --> 00:44:05.230
That's big.
910
00:44:05.280 --> 00:44:06.400
Isn't that unbelievable?
911
00:44:06.460 --> 00:44:06.840
Huge.
912
00:44:07.119 --> 00:44:07.900
On the couch.
913
00:44:07.920 --> 00:44:09.039
On the couch. Yeah.
914
00:44:09.059 --> 00:44:09.159
Wow.
915
00:44:09.539 --> 00:44:10.039
It's a beautiful couch.
916
00:44:10.059 --> 00:44:10.500
I mean, he's great.
917
00:44:10.519 --> 00:44:13.360
It's one of those great couches. It's a beautiful couch.
918
00:44:14.219 --> 00:44:16.300
Sometimes the Israelis make a great couch.
919
00:44:16.380 --> 00:44:16.800
They do.
920
00:44:16.860 --> 00:44:19.690
They have great doctors over there. It's hard to say,
921
00:44:20.289 --> 00:44:22.289
but if you're on the couch, you're on the couch.
922
00:44:22.409 --> 00:44:23.010
That's what it is.
923
00:44:23.030 --> 00:44:24.150
You're on the couch.
924
00:44:24.190 --> 00:44:26.750
No one wants to be on the couch. I know that.
925
00:44:26.909 --> 00:44:27.829
It's when you've made it.
926
00:44:27.849 --> 00:44:28.250
You've made it.
927
00:44:28.250 --> 00:44:29.050
It's a great couch.
928
00:44:29.670 --> 00:44:30.230
Thank you, Mr.
929
00:44:30.269 --> 00:44:30.630
President.
930
00:44:30.710 --> 00:44:31.969
What else you got for us today, Nomi?
931
00:44:32.360 --> 00:44:35.639
We got the search still for this medical transport jet.
932
00:44:36.170 --> 00:44:38.489
Over the weekend, a plane was taking somebody who was
933
00:44:38.530 --> 00:44:42.889
very sick from Bermuda to Nantucket for medical care, and
934
00:44:42.909 --> 00:44:45.789
the plane went missing. So now you have the people
935
00:44:45.809 --> 00:44:47.929
who were aboard this flight, you have the actual medical
936
00:44:47.989 --> 00:44:50.429
patient and somebody who was with him, a family member,
937
00:44:50.449 --> 00:44:52.820
and they think this plane crashed into the ocean. They
938
00:44:52.840 --> 00:44:55.099
found a debris field, but they so far haven't found
939
00:44:55.880 --> 00:44:58.659
any sign of the individuals that were aboard that plane.
940
00:44:58.699 --> 00:45:00.719
I guess they'll start looking for it again this morning.
941
00:45:01.219 --> 00:45:03.960
And then the big question over the weekend is, What
942
00:45:03.980 --> 00:45:05.860
do you do with this woman that they tried to
943
00:45:06.059 --> 00:45:09.000
execute in Tennessee last week?
944
00:45:09.019 --> 00:45:13.050
I don't care. Like, look, I understand that prisoners are people, too.
945
00:45:13.489 --> 00:45:17.110
I get all that. But this lady did a horrible thing.
946
00:45:17.789 --> 00:45:21.230
She murdered another person, another lady, and she actually, like
947
00:45:21.269 --> 00:45:26.829
Jeffrey Dahmer, kept the skull as a souvenir. So, I mean,
948
00:45:26.849 --> 00:45:31.170
I'm having a lot of trouble here being sympathetic. I'm sorry.
949
00:45:31.590 --> 00:45:35.139
She got the death penalty because she's a murderous lowlife. So,
950
00:45:35.739 --> 00:45:39.019
you know, on a human level, yes, she should just die.
951
00:45:39.059 --> 00:45:41.760
And that's the end of it. But the outpour of
952
00:45:42.460 --> 00:45:47.800
almost sympathy for a murderer. It didn't make it to me.
953
00:45:47.860 --> 00:45:48.280
I'm sorry.
954
00:45:48.320 --> 00:45:50.849
Yeah, it is amazing. I mean, she tortured her victim.
955
00:45:50.969 --> 00:45:51.250
Torture?
956
00:45:51.269 --> 00:45:52.070
This female victim.
957
00:45:52.150 --> 00:45:54.369
Yeah, and kept the skull as a souvenir.
958
00:45:54.409 --> 00:45:56.869
They hit her over and over again with cement brick.
959
00:45:56.969 --> 00:45:59.179
And you've got people that are, I mean, who cares?
960
00:45:59.199 --> 00:46:02.219
I mean, again, ideally, yeah, she's a human being. You
961
00:46:02.260 --> 00:46:04.219
want to do it. That sounds great, okay.
962
00:46:05.219 --> 00:46:07.559
So she's on a ventilator. She's critically ill.
963
00:46:07.619 --> 00:46:09.949
Her lawyer taking to the news shows over the weekend saying,
964
00:46:10.530 --> 00:46:13.469
that she at least should be taken off of execution
965
00:46:13.510 --> 00:46:16.030
watch and then just set to spend the rest.
966
00:46:15.889 --> 00:46:16.650
Of her life in jail.
967
00:46:16.690 --> 00:46:18.909
No, no, just shoot her. Greg Kelly had the right idea.
968
00:46:18.949 --> 00:46:23.340
Just shoot her. Sometimes the electric chair doesn't work. I
969
00:46:23.360 --> 00:46:27.159
guess some people can handle the voltage. Sometimes these injections
970
00:46:27.199 --> 00:46:29.699
don't work because it's difficult to find a vein. Guess
971
00:46:29.739 --> 00:46:32.980
what works? 20 bullets to the head. Just shoot her.
972
00:46:33.519 --> 00:46:36.320
She doesn't deserve to live now because it didn't work.
973
00:46:36.739 --> 00:46:40.179
She's a murderer. And what she did was really gross,
974
00:46:40.480 --> 00:46:43.860
really over the top, really over the top. She deserves
975
00:46:43.900 --> 00:46:47.420
to die just like her victim did. So just shoot her.
976
00:46:48.239 --> 00:46:49.159
What else do you have?
977
00:46:49.320 --> 00:46:53.139
One of the people that witnessed that execution was a relative,
978
00:46:53.159 --> 00:46:56.219
the sister of the victim. You can imagine how horrifying
979
00:46:56.260 --> 00:46:58.199
it was for her because she thought, okay, I'm finally
980
00:46:58.219 --> 00:46:59.949
going to see this woman die.
981
00:47:00.239 --> 00:47:01.409
And she's still alive today.
982
00:47:01.659 --> 00:47:01.780
Yeah.
983
00:47:02.820 --> 00:47:07.050
The president was crisscrossing the country over the weekend, trying
984
00:47:07.090 --> 00:47:10.389
to drag some Republicans across the finish line in the midterms.
985
00:47:10.429 --> 00:47:13.809
He was in Ohio. He was in Alabama. Big rallies.
986
00:47:14.289 --> 00:47:15.909
The question is, will it make a difference? Is it
987
00:47:15.989 --> 00:47:16.489
too late?
988
00:47:16.570 --> 00:47:20.409
Some polls show the Democrats for sure taking over Congress
989
00:47:20.469 --> 00:47:22.239
and with a good shot of taking over the Senate.
990
00:47:22.610 --> 00:47:25.300
Yeah, I saw that, too. How many days away now
991
00:47:25.360 --> 00:47:26.139
is it exactly?
992
00:47:26.199 --> 00:47:29.699
Well, today's the 5th, and Election Day is.
993
00:47:29.820 --> 00:47:30.519
The 3rd, right?
994
00:47:30.579 --> 00:47:31.699
3rd, I think that's right, so.
995
00:47:32.800 --> 00:47:33.659
I don't know. It's the fifth.
996
00:47:33.760 --> 00:47:33.960
It's 25.
997
00:47:33.960 --> 00:47:34.739
It's like 28 days.
998
00:47:34.760 --> 00:47:36.019
A little less than a month.
999
00:47:36.039 --> 00:47:39.079
Well, less than a month. About 28 days, yeah. All right.
1000
00:47:39.159 --> 00:47:39.579
Anything else?
1001
00:47:40.579 --> 00:47:40.739
No.
1002
00:47:40.860 --> 00:47:42.119
I think that was the big stories of the day.
1003
00:47:42.239 --> 00:47:43.440
The Giants won yesterday.
1004
00:47:43.460 --> 00:47:46.260
That was big, but we still don't know whether we
1005
00:47:46.300 --> 00:47:47.380
have a good quarterback there.
1006
00:47:47.980 --> 00:47:51.050
Well, he did engineer a couple of touchdown drives.
1007
00:47:51.070 --> 00:47:52.840
He also threw two interceptions.
1008
00:47:52.860 --> 00:47:55.449
That's him. That's James. He's feast or famine every game.
1009
00:47:56.210 --> 00:47:58.809
Like you mentioned a couple of weeks ago, 30 touchdowns
1010
00:47:58.869 --> 00:48:01.389
and 30 picks in the same season. But at least
1011
00:48:01.429 --> 00:48:04.110
he's moving the team. I mean, those first couple of games,
1012
00:48:04.130 --> 00:48:07.510
it was pathetic, you know. But they get the win,
1013
00:48:07.530 --> 00:48:11.309
a special day, too, if you weren't paying attention, because
1014
00:48:11.449 --> 00:48:16.090
at halftime of yesterday's giant win over Arizona, they actually
1015
00:48:16.110 --> 00:48:20.219
honored the first giant team ever to win a Super Bowl.
1016
00:48:20.239 --> 00:48:22.880
Don't forget, the Giants have won four Super Bowls. They've
1017
00:48:22.900 --> 00:48:25.460
been to five. They're four and one. The only loss,
1018
00:48:25.820 --> 00:48:30.099
Kerry Collins to the Baltimore Ravens. They won four. Bill Sims,
1019
00:48:30.219 --> 00:48:33.989
Jeff Hostetler, and Eli Manning twice. The 86 team was
1020
00:48:34.030 --> 00:48:36.590
the first to get there. They won. They were trailing
1021
00:48:37.010 --> 00:48:40.030
John Elway and the Denver Broncos at halftime in Pasadena.
1022
00:48:40.369 --> 00:48:43.750
They came out and destroyed the Broncos in the second half.
1023
00:48:44.210 --> 00:48:47.500
Everybody's favorite play was the flea flicker with Phil McConkie
1024
00:48:47.519 --> 00:48:51.500
and Mark Bavaro, and Bill Sims was amazing. He won
1025
00:48:51.519 --> 00:48:53.880
the MVP of that game and then won the MVP
1026
00:48:54.179 --> 00:48:56.420
of the Pro Bowl that year, too. He set a
1027
00:48:56.460 --> 00:48:58.460
record that year. I think it's been broken since, but
1028
00:48:58.900 --> 00:49:02.360
he set a record for completion percentage. He was just amazing.
1029
00:49:02.849 --> 00:49:06.579
So yesterday at halftime, Sims spoke and Lawrence, and they
1030
00:49:06.619 --> 00:49:09.820
honored 40 years later. If you remember that night, I do.
1031
00:49:10.300 --> 00:49:12.840
I watched the game at the Rocco's house. My dear
1032
00:49:12.880 --> 00:49:16.829
friend Jerry Rocco, mom and dad Susan and Vinnie Rocco
1033
00:49:17.070 --> 00:49:19.849
on Nostrand Avenue in Brooklyn. Used to hold a Super
1034
00:49:19.869 --> 00:49:23.070
Bowl party every year. Scott Arbus, I mentioned him quite
1035
00:49:23.090 --> 00:49:25.329
a bit. He was there with his late parents, two
1036
00:49:25.369 --> 00:49:30.219
great people, Al and Diane. The Trunzes, Howie and, excuse me,
1037
00:49:30.440 --> 00:49:34.460
Barbara and Shelly, their son Howie. And we watched it there.
1038
00:49:34.900 --> 00:49:38.840
Forty years when Sims and the Giants beat the Broncos.
1039
00:49:39.610 --> 00:49:40.250
So that was nice.
1040
00:49:40.369 --> 00:49:41.230
Yeah, that was fun to watch.
1041
00:49:41.889 --> 00:49:45.190
And the Jets were terrible yesterday. They're just terrible. Doesn't matter,
1042
00:49:45.250 --> 00:49:48.429
Geno Smith or what they do. They had nothing on
1043
00:49:48.489 --> 00:49:51.460
offense against the Bears. I mean, nothing. The defense never
1044
00:49:51.539 --> 00:49:55.659
comes up big, ever. So they're 1-3. And the Rangers
1045
00:49:55.699 --> 00:50:00.099
keep winning. How about the New York Hockey Rangers? Nobody cares. Tonight,
1046
00:50:00.179 --> 00:50:05.360
Game 2 of the ALDS, the Yankees, and Cam Schlittler.
1047
00:50:05.840 --> 00:50:09.260
who was amazing for the Yanks in that game one,
1048
00:50:09.280 --> 00:50:12.050
9-0 beating of the Boston Red Sox in the wild
1049
00:50:12.090 --> 00:50:16.090
card series. He's going to tow the rubber tonight, hoping
1050
00:50:16.150 --> 00:50:19.650
to stop the Yankees from going down like the Padres are,
1051
00:50:20.130 --> 00:50:24.050
two games to zero. But it looks to me, Noam,
1052
00:50:24.670 --> 00:50:27.039
that the Yanks are in must-win mode tonight. Or is
1053
00:50:27.059 --> 00:50:28.880
that an extreme statement?
1054
00:50:29.019 --> 00:50:31.000
Well, it would be big if they came away from
1055
00:50:31.119 --> 00:50:33.599
Florida with a win, no? Then came back to New York.
1056
00:50:33.659 --> 00:50:33.780
Yeah.
1057
00:50:34.920 --> 00:50:35.780
I guess. I don't know.
1058
00:50:35.940 --> 00:50:36.659
They have to win.
1059
00:50:36.920 --> 00:50:37.480
They've got to win.
1060
00:50:37.519 --> 00:50:38.800
They can't go down 0-2.
1061
00:50:38.840 --> 00:50:39.289
Can't do it?
1062
00:50:39.800 --> 00:50:40.769
People have come back from 2-0.
1063
00:50:40.820 --> 00:50:43.789
Yeah, of course. Now, 3-0, although the Red Sox did
1064
00:50:43.809 --> 00:50:46.050
it against the Yankees years ago. No, no, no.
1065
00:50:46.070 --> 00:50:46.670
3-0, it's over.
1066
00:50:46.829 --> 00:50:49.449
It's over? Oh, it's a best of five. It's not
1067
00:50:49.489 --> 00:50:51.670
the best of seven. Oh, right. Right. So who was right?
1068
00:50:51.730 --> 00:50:54.929
It's okay in there. No, I forgot. I keep thinking
1069
00:50:54.949 --> 00:50:55.530
best of seven.
1070
00:50:55.550 --> 00:50:55.949
Same here.
1071
00:50:55.989 --> 00:50:58.429
So if the Rays win tonight, then the Yankees have
1072
00:50:58.449 --> 00:50:59.389
got to win three in a row.
1073
00:50:59.409 --> 00:51:00.530
Yeah, they have to win tonight, then.
1074
00:51:01.340 --> 00:51:02.250
They do? Yeah.
1075
00:51:02.269 --> 00:51:03.989
Are they going to? Cam Schlitter was the best pitcher
1076
00:51:04.010 --> 00:51:04.769
in baseball. I know.
1077
00:51:04.989 --> 00:51:07.369
And, well, it was only 1-0 game one, so.
1078
00:51:08.110 --> 00:51:08.309
Right.
1079
00:51:09.210 --> 00:51:10.650
They just have to score a couple of runs.
1080
00:51:10.949 --> 00:51:13.190
I guess. Of course, Schlitter's going to hold down the race.
1081
00:51:13.210 --> 00:51:14.690
Yeah, if they can get one or two runs, that
1082
00:51:14.710 --> 00:51:15.489
might be enough tonight.
1083
00:51:15.730 --> 00:51:15.889
Yeah.
1084
00:51:15.909 --> 00:51:17.230
You're going to watch it, though?
1085
00:51:17.269 --> 00:51:21.059
He'll never have a bad outing.
1086
00:51:21.099 --> 00:51:21.480
Come on.
1087
00:51:22.199 --> 00:51:23.780
No, they need to win. Lose right. All right, we've
1088
00:51:23.800 --> 00:51:25.099
got a good guest list today.
1089
00:51:25.980 --> 00:51:29.500
Sid and Friends in the Morning on the Red Apple
1090
00:51:29.619 --> 00:51:30.619
Podcast Network.
1091
00:51:31.760 --> 00:51:36.320
The Giants stave off the Cardinals, who had four chances
1092
00:51:36.500 --> 00:51:40.239
inside the five to win the game. And don't look now.
1093
00:51:40.900 --> 00:51:43.320
I know that Jackson Dart is done for the year,
1094
00:51:43.340 --> 00:51:46.679
and at times, Jameis Winston's not sure what team he's on.
1095
00:51:48.170 --> 00:51:51.730
Don't look now, Noam, but the football Giants, with a
1096
00:51:51.769 --> 00:51:54.829
record of 3-1. I believe this is the first time
1097
00:51:54.969 --> 00:52:00.099
in like a decade that sit alone atop the NFC East.
1098
00:52:00.719 --> 00:52:01.539
Did you realize that, Noah?
1099
00:52:01.559 --> 00:52:01.880
I did.
1100
00:52:01.940 --> 00:52:02.440
I saw that.
1101
00:52:02.460 --> 00:52:05.800
3-1. The Eagles, they lost at home to the Rams,
1102
00:52:05.840 --> 00:52:10.449
gave up two fourth-quarter touchdowns yesterday. They lost 24-20. They're
1103
00:52:10.769 --> 00:52:15.309
now 2-2. Dallas, they get the win in Houston, and
1104
00:52:15.329 --> 00:52:17.969
they got a great offense, man. Pickens and Lamb and
1105
00:52:18.320 --> 00:52:23.420
Prescott and Williams. So they improved to 2-2. Washington is
1106
00:52:23.460 --> 00:52:26.719
now down to their third-string quarterback, some kid from Rutgers.
1107
00:52:27.500 --> 00:52:30.579
Donola must have been happy. Not for much longer, though. No.
1108
00:52:30.639 --> 00:52:32.900
Jane Daniels coming back next week. Next week. They got
1109
00:52:32.920 --> 00:52:36.269
blown out, though, by the Colts in London yesterday. They're 1-3.
1110
00:52:36.539 --> 00:52:41.219
So the Giants are 3-1 atop the division. There are
1111
00:52:41.320 --> 00:52:45.460
still three teams undefeated in football. And for the guys
1112
00:52:45.500 --> 00:52:47.880
that bet the games this weekend, if you took the Chiefs,
1113
00:52:47.900 --> 00:52:52.000
for example, you laid four. The Chiefs are up by four.
1114
00:52:52.460 --> 00:52:55.219
It's a push. They score a touchdown to go up
1115
00:52:55.239 --> 00:52:59.269
by four late. And the ensuing kickoff, the Raiders fumble.
1116
00:52:59.949 --> 00:53:02.409
You can't make this up. The Chiefs take over deep
1117
00:53:02.449 --> 00:53:06.389
inside Raider territory, hand the ball to Walker, who last
1118
00:53:06.429 --> 00:53:08.469
year won the Super Bowl with Seattle, and he's playing
1119
00:53:08.530 --> 00:53:11.389
amazing for Kansas City. He runs it right in. So
1120
00:53:11.409 --> 00:53:14.969
the Chiefs are up 11. So you're collecting cash if
1121
00:53:14.989 --> 00:53:16.090
you got the Chiefs, right, Noam?
1122
00:53:16.550 --> 00:53:16.800
Yeah.
1123
00:53:17.030 --> 00:53:17.469
Wrong.
1124
00:53:18.059 --> 00:53:21.489
The Raiders go downfield all of a sudden. All of
1125
00:53:21.530 --> 00:53:25.920
a sudden, Kirk Cousins, it's like Johnny Unitas. They score
1126
00:53:25.960 --> 00:53:29.480
a touchdown. They go for two, and they get it.
1127
00:53:29.960 --> 00:53:32.889
And the Chiefs win by three. So you lost that
1128
00:53:32.909 --> 00:53:35.599
game if you had the Chiefs. The other undefeated team
1129
00:53:35.639 --> 00:53:39.070
is the Minnesota Vikings. They went to 4-0. They beat
1130
00:53:39.090 --> 00:53:43.230
the Dolphins. The Vikings were favored by 10 yesterday. They've
1131
00:53:43.250 --> 00:53:45.949
got a five-point lead. Less than a minute to go.
1132
00:53:45.989 --> 00:53:49.909
Dolphins are out of timeouts. Kyler Murray throws a pass
1133
00:53:49.949 --> 00:53:54.050
to the tight end, Hawkinson. He's running in for a touchdown.
1134
00:53:55.449 --> 00:53:59.389
He voluntarily falls down at the one-yard line. That made
1135
00:53:59.449 --> 00:54:02.429
no sense. Hansen kept saying it's the right play. No,
1136
00:54:02.739 --> 00:54:05.460
you do that when it's a one-score game. So the
1137
00:54:05.500 --> 00:54:08.599
opposition doesn't get the football back. If the Vikings score
1138
00:54:08.639 --> 00:54:11.739
a touchdown there, they go up by 12, and the
1139
00:54:11.780 --> 00:54:14.869
Dolphins have no timeouts. That was not the right play.
1140
00:54:14.889 --> 00:54:18.670
It was dumb, actually. I didn't care because I didn't
1141
00:54:18.690 --> 00:54:21.030
bet the game. But if you had the Vikings and
1142
00:54:21.050 --> 00:54:23.750
you laid 10 and you watch this guy about to
1143
00:54:23.789 --> 00:54:25.869
go into the end zone to give the Vikings an
1144
00:54:25.889 --> 00:54:29.789
11-point lead, fall down at the one-yard line, you want
1145
00:54:29.809 --> 00:54:33.530
to kill yourself, though. So the Vikings are undefeated, even
1146
00:54:33.550 --> 00:54:37.719
with a crappy quarterback, Kyler Murray. He's not good. And
1147
00:54:37.760 --> 00:54:41.360
the third team that's unbeaten is the San Francisco 49ers.
1148
00:54:41.420 --> 00:54:45.530
They look great. Brock Purdy looks amazing. When he's healthy,
1149
00:54:45.780 --> 00:54:49.239
that guy never loses. And they made pretty easy work
1150
00:54:49.440 --> 00:54:52.820
of the Denver Broncos yesterday. So the three teams that
1151
00:54:52.860 --> 00:54:57.239
are still unbeaten in the NFL, the Chiefs, the Vikings,
1152
00:54:57.800 --> 00:55:02.880
and the 49ers. But the Giants, 3-1, sole possession. of
1153
00:55:02.960 --> 00:55:06.340
first place atop the NFC East. All right, four to
1154
00:55:06.360 --> 00:55:09.280
five great guests stopping by today, Monday morning. I told you,

Start at MetLife.
1162
00:55:33.199 --> 00:55:35.500
Jameis Winston showed off the good, bad, and the ugly
1163
00:55:35.659 --> 00:55:38.340
of his football career, and it required another late defensive
1164
00:55:38.380 --> 00:55:40.289
stand to get it done, far from a masterpiece for
1165
00:55:40.309 --> 00:55:43.110
the Giants. We'll surely take it, defeating the Arizona Cardinals
1166
00:55:43.130 --> 00:55:45.969
36-24 to take sole possession of first place in the
1167
00:55:46.030 --> 00:55:48.710
NFC East. Winston threw three touchdown passes to offset a
1168
00:55:48.730 --> 00:55:52.690
pair of interceptions in Deontay Bank's Had a 98-yard pick-six
1169
00:55:52.849 --> 00:55:55.230
to seal it. Up next for the Giants, they'll visit
1170
00:55:55.289 --> 00:55:59.849
Washington come Sunday. In Chicago, the Jets fell 2-1-3 on
1171
00:55:59.869 --> 00:56:01.650
the year in the form of a 23-12 loss to
1172
00:56:01.690 --> 00:56:05.489
the now 3-1 Bears. Couldn't stop running back Kyle Menungai.
1173
00:56:05.570 --> 00:56:08.940
Rushed for 146 yards and two touchdowns. They also went
1174
00:56:08.960 --> 00:56:12.199
0-7 on third down and ran a total of 32 plays.
1175
00:56:12.260 --> 00:56:15.360

game two of that nlds milwaukee leading that series commandingly
1184
00:56:37.960 --> 00:56:40.760
two games to nothing. Out in Los Angeles, the Braves
1185
00:56:40.889 --> 00:56:44.030
evened up that NLDS between them and the Dodgers, a
1186
00:56:44.030 --> 00:56:48.289
3-2 win for the Braves yesterday. Not in that series
1187
00:56:48.369 --> 00:56:50.989
at a game apiece. Tonight, 5 p.m., it's the White
1188

00:56:56.969 --> 00:56:59.420
big one tonight at 8 p.m., Cam Schlotler will get
1191
00:56:59.440 --> 00:57:02.400
the ball for our Yankees. Game two of the ALDS
1192
00:57:02.440 --> 00:57:05.039
against the Tampa Bay Rays. Yankees trailing in that series.
1193
00:57:05.539 --> 00:57:08.159
One game to nothing. He'll go up Schlittler, that is,
1194
00:57:08.199 --> 00:57:11.019
against Tampa's Freddy Peralta. On the ice at the Garden,
1195
00:57:11.059 --> 00:57:14.320
Igor Shostakovich made 28 saves and had an assist. And
1196
00:57:14.929 --> 00:57:18.570
the Rangers beat the Utah Mammoth 4-2. Up next for them,

00:57:18.630 --> 00:57:21.650

1201
00:57:31.110 --> 00:57:34.630
Sid and Friends in the Morning on the Red Apple
1202
00:57:34.769 --> 00:57:35.989
Podcast Network.
1203
00:57:37.269 --> 00:57:40.309
The Bernie and Sid Show. It's about truth.
1204
00:57:40.469 --> 00:57:44.769
The damn truth. New York's truth. The truth behind the BS.
1205
00:57:44.969 --> 00:57:47.969
For New York, nothing at all in between. This is
1206
00:57:48.349 --> 00:57:49.190
Bernard McGurk.
1207
00:57:49.230 --> 00:57:50.429
Bernard McGurk. Sir Bernie.
1208
00:57:50.510 --> 00:57:57.900
This is The one and only Sid. Live, local, on it. Exclusively.
1209
00:57:57.900 --> 00:57:59.699
77 WABC.
1210
00:58:00.599 --> 00:58:05.260
I'm happy to announce, this is actually great news in
1211
00:58:05.300 --> 00:58:08.940
terms of, if you love listening to the radio, that
1212
00:58:08.980 --> 00:58:14.670
the WABC has decided to team up Bernard McGurk and
1213
00:58:14.809 --> 00:58:18.769
Sid Rosenberg, and put them on the radio at 10 o'clock.
1214
00:58:18.550 --> 00:58:20.809
This morning and every other morning after that.
1215
00:58:20.909 --> 00:58:22.650
Bernie and Sid.
1216
00:58:22.949 --> 00:58:23.750
Oh, my God.
1217
00:58:24.190 --> 00:58:27.449
Now, Bernie's still going to be on our program, of course,
1218
00:58:27.469 --> 00:58:29.829
an executive producer of the Iverson Way program forever.
1219
00:58:30.849 --> 00:58:33.210
And Sid, of course, we work with Sid.
1220
00:58:33.250 --> 00:58:34.199
Sid used to do sports.
1221
00:58:34.510 --> 00:58:36.579
You want to finish that thought, I-Man?
1222
00:58:36.739 --> 00:58:37.739
There you go, the I-Man.
1223
00:58:38.670 --> 00:58:39.269
Well, it doesn't get.
1224
00:58:39.750 --> 00:58:40.849
Pump it up, Bernie and Sid.
1225
00:58:40.889 --> 00:58:43.510
How about that for a ringing endorsement? Don Imus loves
1226
00:58:43.550 --> 00:58:44.710
the show already.
1227
00:58:44.769 --> 00:58:45.889
It doesn't get any better.
1228
00:58:46.699 --> 00:58:47.659
That is huge, man.
1229
00:58:47.920 --> 00:58:49.320
That is huge. Do you feel the pressure?
1230
00:58:50.579 --> 00:58:51.099
Not really, no.
1231
00:58:53.199 --> 00:58:54.960
I got to say, though, Bernie and Sid, we sound
1232
00:58:55.000 --> 00:58:56.199
like a gay Jewish couple.
1233
00:58:56.239 --> 00:58:59.860
We do a little bit. One of those, like, Muppet things. Two, like,
1234
00:58:59.940 --> 00:59:01.860
old Muppet guys in the movie theater on the very,
1235
00:59:01.920 --> 00:59:03.570
very top. That's kind of us, too.
1236
00:59:03.679 --> 00:59:05.469
We are kind of married at this point.
1237
00:59:05.489 --> 00:59:06.269
We are. We are.
1238
00:59:06.309 --> 00:59:06.409
But.
1239
00:59:07.860 --> 00:59:08.469
It's a good thing.
1240
00:59:08.639 --> 00:59:08.780
Yeah.
1241
00:59:08.800 --> 00:59:13.039
You look good. No conjugal relationship here, though.
1242
00:59:13.079 --> 00:59:15.639
Not yet. Let me reassure the audience of that.
1243
00:59:15.739 --> 00:59:15.960
Right.
1244
00:59:16.900 --> 00:59:18.539
But not that that would be a bad thing.
1245
00:59:18.559 --> 00:59:18.679
No, no.
1246
00:59:18.699 --> 00:59:19.519
It's a beautiful thing.
1247
00:59:19.579 --> 00:59:21.380
And you would get the much better of the deal
1248
00:59:21.420 --> 00:59:23.840
at this point. Did that for a couple of years,
1249
00:59:23.949 --> 00:59:27.829
and then Chad Lopez, as a smart guy, but he
1250
00:59:27.849 --> 00:59:31.050
brought me back from Florida. He will go down as
1251
00:59:31.130 --> 00:59:35.230
one of the greatest radio executives ever for that move.
1252
00:59:35.429 --> 00:59:37.570
He will. Hall of Fame coming up for me in
1253
00:59:37.610 --> 00:59:41.150
about two weeks. And then, that wasn't it. Then, and
1254
00:59:41.730 --> 00:59:44.449
that was against a load of people. They didn't want
1255
00:59:44.929 --> 00:59:46.539
me back, and they don't want me and Bernie, of course.
1256
00:59:47.099 --> 00:59:50.480
And then, when Imus was fired, or resigned, whatever you
1257
00:59:50.500 --> 00:59:53.300
want to say, I don't care. He decided to put
1258
00:59:53.340 --> 00:59:56.329
me and Bernie there. Others didn't want it. Didn't want it.
1259
00:59:56.659 --> 00:59:57.000
He did.
1260
00:59:57.019 --> 00:59:57.159
So....
1261
00:59:59.570 --> 01:00:01.530
The reason why I played that, though, today is it
1262
01:00:01.570 --> 01:00:04.309
was four years ago today that Bernard passed away. So
1263
01:00:04.889 --> 01:00:09.239
four years ago today, we lost him. And Saturday, you know,
1264
01:00:09.260 --> 01:00:12.179
I spoke to Carol McGurk already this morning. I spoke
1265
01:00:12.199 --> 01:00:17.360
to Carol at about 545, his beautiful wife. And his daughter, Melanie,
1266
01:00:17.840 --> 01:00:21.039
is getting married this Saturday and will be there. So
1267
01:00:21.800 --> 01:00:24.699
he's missed a lot. He's got two grandsons now from
1268
01:00:24.760 --> 01:00:27.639
his son. His daughter's getting married on Saturday. But as
1269
01:00:27.699 --> 01:00:31.400
I said earlier, About 90 minutes ago. I can only
1270
01:00:31.480 --> 01:00:33.500
hope that he sees all of it. Just like I
1271
01:00:33.519 --> 01:00:37.780
hope my dad sees all my success. So, Bernard, we
1272
01:00:37.820 --> 01:00:40.389
miss you and love you. And continue to rest in peace.
1273
01:00:40.699 --> 01:00:43.269
Four years ago today. We'll take a short break. When
1274
01:00:43.309 --> 01:00:46.210
we get back, this guy loves us. And he's a very,
1275
01:00:46.269 --> 01:00:49.769
very big deal. The Maha Group. They had a big
1276
01:00:49.809 --> 01:00:56.079
day last week. Robert Kennedy. Mike Tyson. Dr. Oz. And
1277
01:00:56.159 --> 01:00:57.880
Oz is on this show all the time now. I'm
1278
01:00:57.920 --> 01:01:00.539
a man. And he reached out. He wants to come
1279
01:01:00.619 --> 01:01:05.679
on today. And he should. Big, big doings in this Obamacare,
1280
01:01:05.739 --> 01:01:09.679
the fraud, Medicare, Medicaid. So we'll take a short break.
1281
01:01:09.719 --> 01:01:12.500
Still more to come. Hank Schoenkopf is going to be here.
1282
01:01:12.820 --> 01:01:15.000
Councilman David Carr is going to be here.
1283
01:01:15.800 --> 01:01:19.309
Sid and friends in the morning on the Red Apple
1284
01:01:19.449 --> 01:01:20.409
Podcast Network.
1285
01:01:21.630 --> 01:01:26.409
Bruce Blakeman, Sid Rosenberg, President Trump. You like that trio?
1286
01:01:27.400 --> 01:01:28.219
It's a great trio.
1287
01:01:28.420 --> 01:01:29.139
Yes, Mr. President.
1288
01:01:29.159 --> 01:01:29.760
Many trios.
1289
01:01:29.840 --> 01:01:30.809
That's one of the greats.
1290
01:01:30.869 --> 01:01:33.230
That'll be funny. Me, Blakeman, and Trump, it looks like.
1291
01:01:33.269 --> 01:01:34.610
And one more on Hochul before I get to ours.
1292
01:01:35.469 --> 01:01:38.190
You know, just to add to what a moron she is,
1293
01:01:38.929 --> 01:01:42.699
this really sensitive Cornell case, and a lot of information's
1294
01:01:42.739 --> 01:01:45.760
coming out, maybe she was okay with a guy or two,
1295
01:01:45.800 --> 01:01:49.920
not seven, certainly. And I have been, as I usually am,
1296
01:01:50.440 --> 01:01:52.400
I lean towards the woman in this case. I lend
1297
01:01:52.420 --> 01:01:54.909
my support usually to the woman. But either way, we
1298
01:01:54.949 --> 01:01:58.110
don't know yet criminally. You know, morally, it was reprehensible
1299
01:01:58.130 --> 01:02:00.570
what these guys did. I don't care what anybody says. Criminally,
1300
01:02:00.590 --> 01:02:04.389
we don't know. She brings Letitia James, the hack AG,
1301
01:02:04.449 --> 01:02:08.070
to the case. This hack AG. And if you looked
1302
01:02:08.130 --> 01:02:11.239
at Letitia James' Facebook page about a week ago, she's
1303
01:02:11.280 --> 01:02:15.119
already decided those kids are guilty. Can't do that. Can't
1304
01:02:15.159 --> 01:02:17.980
do it. How do you bring this AG to the case?
1305
01:02:18.320 --> 01:02:21.400
She's already decided the Cornell 7 are guilty.
1306
01:02:21.480 --> 01:02:23.199
Well, she was asked, too, about it.
1307
01:02:23.820 --> 01:02:27.119
At a little press conference, and she just stared blankly
1308
01:02:27.139 --> 01:02:29.369
at the person asking and said, I'm not going to
1309
01:02:29.409 --> 01:02:29.949
comment on.
1310
01:02:29.909 --> 01:02:33.809
A Facebook post. She already did. So that's another issue
1311
01:02:33.829 --> 01:02:36.190
with Kathy Hochul. She's just the dumbest son of a
1312
01:02:36.250 --> 01:02:39.360
bitch in office today, bottom line. Dr. Oz is not.
1313
01:02:39.400 --> 01:02:42.019
He's a gentleman and a genius, and I love him.
1314
01:02:42.550 --> 01:02:46.630
And he is uncovering fraud every day at the Medicare level,
1315
01:02:46.690 --> 01:02:50.550
Medicaid level, Obamacare level. Back on the big show again.
1316
01:02:50.590 --> 01:02:52.630
We love having this guy on, Dr.
1317
01:02:52.889 --> 01:02:53.130
Oz.
1318
01:02:53.210 --> 01:02:54.670
Dr. Oz, good morning. How are you?
1319
01:02:55.469 --> 01:02:58.460
Good morning, Sid. And I think a lot of folks
1320
01:02:58.539 --> 01:03:00.380
got riled up last week when.
1321
01:03:00.949 --> 01:03:03.809
The vice president, myself, and a few of the colleagues,
1322
01:03:04.329 --> 01:03:08.010
Andrew Ferguson, who actually leads the White House Anti-Fraud Task Force,
1323
01:03:08.449 --> 01:03:13.239
announced numbers that were stunning around the fraud in Obamacare. Now,
1324
01:03:13.280 --> 01:03:16.619
I bring up Obamacare, Sid, on purpose because Democrats are
1325
01:03:16.659 --> 01:03:20.760
running advertisements arguing that because we did not put up
1326
01:03:20.960 --> 01:03:23.760
more of these subsidies, not the original subsidies, but the
1327
01:03:23.800 --> 01:03:26.380
additional ones that the Biden administration put up just for
1328
01:03:26.400 --> 01:03:29.280
a year or two during COVID, because we didn't extend
1329
01:03:29.340 --> 01:03:32.840
that because COVID is over. They said we're throwing millions
1330
01:03:32.880 --> 01:03:35.800
and millions of people off of Obamacare. And it turns
1331
01:03:35.889 --> 01:03:39.630
out what happened during COVID when they gave these extra premiums,
1332
01:03:39.650 --> 01:03:42.789
which made the policies free, Well, if it's free, you
1333
01:03:42.809 --> 01:03:45.489
don't even know if you have it. And so scumbags
1334
01:03:45.530 --> 01:03:51.269
had come into the marketplaces and manufactured accounts, dishonest leaks
1335
01:03:51.369 --> 01:03:54.070
claiming that these accounts were real.
1336
01:03:54.630 --> 01:03:56.170
And then they were charging money.
1337
01:03:56.030 --> 01:03:59.610
And collecting billions from the U.S. government for policies that
1338
01:03:59.650 --> 01:04:02.469
didn't exist for people who weren't real. They're called phantom accounts.
1339
01:04:02.989 --> 01:04:06.780
So we had 1.1 million accounts created with no Social
1340
01:04:06.800 --> 01:04:10.420
Security numbers. To remind everybody, to know if you're eligible
1341
01:04:10.460 --> 01:04:12.360
for Obamacare, we have to know how much money you make.
1342
01:04:12.400 --> 01:04:14.400
You really only get it if you're making between one
1343
01:04:14.800 --> 01:04:17.320
and four times the poverty level. So we have to check.
1344
01:04:17.800 --> 01:04:20.190
And unfortunately, if you don't give me a Social Security number,
1345
01:04:20.269 --> 01:04:21.969
there's no way for me to look. And so we
1346
01:04:21.989 --> 01:04:24.869
have to assume something's fishy. Normally, it never happens. We
1347
01:04:24.889 --> 01:04:27.670
had 1.1 million in a row without Social Security numbers.
1348
01:04:28.030 --> 01:04:31.699
We went after it. We sent these guys letters, telegrams,
1349
01:04:31.969 --> 01:04:35.000
you know, PINs. carrier pigeons tell us if you're real
1350
01:04:35.360 --> 01:04:37.119
did you ever file a claim did you ever use
1351
01:04:37.159 --> 01:04:40.039
the insurance when they didn't respond after several months we
1352
01:04:40.059 --> 01:04:43.380
took 760 000 of these phantom accounts shut them down
1353
01:04:43.400 --> 01:04:45.820
and took the money back for the taxpayer that got
1354
01:04:46.260 --> 01:04:49.369
all democrats crazy they just claimed these people were real
1355
01:04:49.750 --> 01:04:52.130
we know they're not that's the announcement and it became
1356
01:04:52.389 --> 01:04:55.389
the kind of fight you actually want because it's it
1357
01:04:55.429 --> 01:04:58.250
highlighted how ridiculous some of these claims.
1358
01:04:58.010 --> 01:05:03.460
Are $ 2. 2 billion when you look at those 760,000 fraudulent
1359
01:05:03.480 --> 01:05:07.420
recipients that you've removed. So explain this to me, Dr. Oz,
1360
01:05:07.460 --> 01:05:09.659
and I love you. You're so comfortable on the show,
1361
01:05:09.699 --> 01:05:11.280
you said the word you probably wouldn't say on TV.
1362
01:05:11.400 --> 01:05:17.019
I love that. And you're even laughing. Tell me, why
1363
01:05:17.039 --> 01:05:22.550
would the Democrats or these brokers be upset if, in fact,
1364
01:05:23.050 --> 01:05:24.369
you're exposing fraud?
1365
01:05:24.449 --> 01:05:24.710
Why?
1366
01:05:24.730 --> 01:05:24.800
Why?
1367
01:05:26.050 --> 01:05:28.739
Well, the brokers aren't upset. They're losing money. They're just
1368
01:05:28.760 --> 01:05:33.380
running away. Even the brokers acknowledge that this is ridiculous.
1369
01:05:33.420 --> 01:05:36.260
And the good brokers are telling us on the bad brokers,
1370
01:05:36.579 --> 01:05:38.539
which I want to highlight has been a secret to
1371
01:05:38.579 --> 01:05:42.269
our success, whether it's taking out half the hospices in California,
1372
01:05:42.610 --> 01:05:46.809
which were fraudulent, whether it's going after durable medical equipment suppliers,
1373
01:05:47.090 --> 01:05:50.449
selling wheelchairs and canes in Queens. We have a major
1374
01:05:50.489 --> 01:05:53.650
problem with social adult daycare. It's the good guys calling us.
1375
01:05:54.079 --> 01:05:55.820
and telling us that in the case of Queens, the
1376
01:05:55.860 --> 01:05:59.679
Chinese mafia is running a massive operation, taking the profits,
1377
01:06:00.179 --> 01:06:03.639
and then running a human trafficking operation that controls the
1378
01:06:03.719 --> 01:06:06.170
East Coast. So it's the good guys telling us about
1379
01:06:06.190 --> 01:06:06.710
the bad guys.
1380
01:06:06.750 --> 01:06:07.309
I love that.
1381
01:06:08.010 --> 01:06:11.389
For the Democrats, it's all politics. They know that these
1382
01:06:11.429 --> 01:06:13.849
are illegitimate accounts that don't exist, that should not be
1383
01:06:13.889 --> 01:06:17.590
paid for by hardworking Americans. But it sounds really good
1384
01:06:18.070 --> 01:06:21.829
if you say Republicans are throwing people off the insurance rolls,
1385
01:06:21.849 --> 01:06:25.909
that they're taking frail people who desperately need help and
1386
01:06:25.949 --> 01:06:28.159
taking away the one thing that America could have done
1387
01:06:28.179 --> 01:06:30.079
to help them, which is insurance so they can get their.
1388
01:06:30.199 --> 01:06:33.159
Illness taken care of. We're not doing that, obviously. We
1389
01:06:33.179 --> 01:06:35.539
don't want to do that. But when the Democrats say
1390
01:06:35.559 --> 01:06:37.579
that anyone who thinks they might want to have insurance
1391
01:06:37.599 --> 01:06:39.440
can get it for free– What does that say to
1392
01:06:39.500 --> 01:06:40.900
all the people who pay a lot of money for
1393
01:06:40.940 --> 01:06:42.579
their insurance? And by the way, I should say this
1394
01:06:42.699 --> 01:06:45.039
right up front. One of the biggest problems you've been
1395
01:06:45.059 --> 01:06:50.090
running into is that there's a group of Democratic lawyers.
1396
01:06:50.150 --> 01:06:52.710
We believe they're funded by George Soros. We don't know
1397
01:06:52.750 --> 01:06:56.730
that for sure, but I'm getting increasingly suspicious. This group
1398
01:06:56.769 --> 01:07:01.170
has sued me 150 times. around all the basic things
1399
01:07:01.210 --> 01:07:05.219
that we assumed everyone agreed with around Obamacare. For example,
1400
01:07:05.280 --> 01:07:08.519
I mentioned earlier that you only get eligible to Obamacare,
1401
01:07:08.659 --> 01:07:11.119
as it was originally written, if you're between one and
1402
01:07:11.199 --> 01:07:14.719
four times the poverty level. But they sued, and of
1403
01:07:14.760 --> 01:07:17.119
course they searched for a judge who's going to be
1404
01:07:17.159 --> 01:07:20.070
supportive of them. It's called venue shopping. They got a
1405
01:07:20.110 --> 01:07:23.940
judge to agree that we're not allowed to check tax returns. Well,
1406
01:07:23.960 --> 01:07:24.559
let me ask you this.
1407
01:07:25.019 --> 01:07:26.440
If I'm only supposed to give it to you if
1408
01:07:26.800 --> 01:07:28.789
you get between one and four times the poverty level,
1409
01:07:29.030 --> 01:07:32.070
how do I know that? Well, that was the original
1410
01:07:32.130 --> 01:07:36.159
rule in 2010. They never wrote in the law, and
1411
01:07:36.679 --> 01:07:39.099
you can check the taxes. They just said, just make
1412
01:07:39.119 --> 01:07:41.300
sure they're making between one and four times. Well, these
1413
01:07:41.320 --> 01:07:44.219
guys sued us in front of a judge who didn't
1414
01:07:44.260 --> 01:07:47.789
really want to hear, I don't think, about these other
1415
01:07:47.869 --> 01:07:50.769
issues and made the decision that, you know what, you
1416
01:07:50.789 --> 01:07:53.130
can't check tax returns anymore. Well, that's the kind of
1417
01:07:53.190 --> 01:07:56.550
decision that really hurts the program. I'm trying to save Obamacare.
1418
01:07:56.949 --> 01:07:59.699
You can't save a program if it's full of fraud.
1419
01:07:59.960 --> 01:08:03.340
People stop trusting it. Instead, what we've been doing is say, okay,
1420
01:08:04.320 --> 01:08:07.380
one in three people, at least, on Obamacare have never
1421
01:08:07.559 --> 01:08:10.900
used the policy. That's impossible. If you have insurance that
1422
01:08:10.920 --> 01:08:13.679
you paid for, especially if you're struggling financially, you're not
1423
01:08:13.699 --> 01:08:15.820
going to not use it. So we don't believe these
1424
01:08:15.889 --> 01:08:18.319
are all real people. We've been going through and just
1425
01:08:18.399 --> 01:08:21.510
figuring out why the fraud's there. But here's the good part, Sidney.
1426
01:08:21.529 --> 01:08:23.770
I want everyone to understand this, because this is how
1427
01:08:23.810 --> 01:08:26.449
the president thinks about the world. If you make a
1428
01:08:26.569 --> 01:08:29.829
functional system, like, for example, Obamacare that really works without
1429
01:08:29.869 --> 01:08:32.909
all the fraud, who takes it? The private sector begins
1430
01:08:32.949 --> 01:08:35.590
to say, hey, listen, I run a hamburger stand. I
1431
01:08:35.630 --> 01:08:38.670
got 30, 40 employees. I can't afford the really big,
1432
01:08:38.710 --> 01:08:42.770
expensive food. commercial insurance, but I can give my employees
1433
01:08:43.100 --> 01:08:46.960
money in their pocket and let them go buy Obamacare insurance.
1434
01:08:47.479 --> 01:08:49.920
And it turns out that those are called choice accounts.
1435
01:08:50.060 --> 01:08:52.960
Congress has now allowed them. The president has been supportive.
1436
01:08:53.260 --> 01:08:56.270
I've been traveling the country. States blue and red are
1437
01:08:56.609 --> 01:08:59.670
adopting this to make sure that they can give these
1438
01:08:59.729 --> 01:09:01.289
smaller companies access to.
1439
01:09:01.250 --> 01:09:01.949
Health care insurance.
1440
01:09:02.229 --> 01:09:05.189
That's how you make America healthy again, by giving us
1441
01:09:05.329 --> 01:09:08.220
access to affordable coverage. And you can't do it if
1442
01:09:08.260 --> 01:09:11.060
the system is so fraudulent that the hamburger stand guy
1443
01:09:11.100 --> 01:09:11.770
doesn't trust it.
1444
01:09:12.119 --> 01:09:14.079
Yeah, true. And he's also going to have to shut
1445
01:09:14.119 --> 01:09:16.619
that hamburger stand down because he's not able to afford it.
1446
01:09:16.949 --> 01:09:20.250
You know, I mentioned Hochul and James a little while ago, Dr. Oz.
1447
01:09:20.630 --> 01:09:23.670
I'm just curious, in terms of the fraud, the health
1448
01:09:23.689 --> 01:09:29.039
care fraud, does New York go past states like California, Minnesota?
1449
01:09:29.340 --> 01:09:30.439
Are we the worst in the country?
1450
01:09:32.279 --> 01:09:36.909
Well, financially, New York is unique. It's hard to say
1451
01:09:36.949 --> 01:09:39.489
that New York is worse than California because California is
1452
01:09:39.529 --> 01:09:42.590
so bad. I think California has been working at being
1453
01:09:42.630 --> 01:09:44.489
bad for a long time with a governor who's been
1454
01:09:44.529 --> 01:09:49.199
ignoring even the state's own auditor general's claims that they're
1455
01:09:49.220 --> 01:09:52.579
ignoring the problems. And just, again, put this issue to rest.
1456
01:09:52.899 --> 01:09:55.979
When we shut down a thousand hospices in California or
1457
01:09:56.060 --> 01:10:01.270
shut down hundreds of thousands of illegal and contemptible fake
1458
01:10:01.310 --> 01:10:03.470
accounts in Obamacare, people aren't complaining.
1459
01:10:03.989 --> 01:10:05.369
If that was actually.
1460
01:10:04.930 --> 01:10:08.149
Doing done to hurt Americans, Americans would put their hand
1461
01:10:08.189 --> 01:10:09.970
up and say, guys, you took my business away.
1462
01:10:10.109 --> 01:10:11.970
You took my insurance away. No one's complaining.
1463
01:10:12.970 --> 01:10:15.430
So I'm just highlighting this because this is not whether
1464
01:10:15.470 --> 01:10:18.289
we're right or wrong. It's obvious that this was fraudulent and.
1465
01:10:18.229 --> 01:10:18.789
Should have happened.
1466
01:10:19.289 --> 01:10:22.310
The problem in New York is that it's going one
1467
01:10:22.350 --> 01:10:26.399
step beyond California in that it's allowing not just a
1468
01:10:26.479 --> 01:10:30.300
jobs program to exist when you're creating jobs for people
1469
01:10:30.500 --> 01:10:34.020
who are providing personal care services. Again, this is like
1470
01:10:34.060 --> 01:10:37.359
someone having their child carry the groceries upstairs for grandma.
1471
01:10:38.739 --> 01:10:42.779
You said you do that for free. In New York,
1472
01:10:42.819 --> 01:10:45.100
we pay people to do that. But here's the part
1473
01:10:45.119 --> 01:10:47.920
that's bothering me. Right now, as I speak in New York,
1474
01:10:48.609 --> 01:10:50.729
The big service industry.
1475
01:10:50.449 --> 01:10:51.060
Union, 1199, has somehow.
1476
01:10:53.810 --> 01:10:58.170
Gotten the state and their fiscal intermediary to give them
1477
01:10:58.210 --> 01:11:00.909
the information on all of these hundreds of thousands of
1478
01:11:00.949 --> 01:11:04.789
people carrying groceries upstairs from bomb. They've reached out to them.
1479
01:11:05.250 --> 01:11:08.739
They've gotten these guys to agree to be unionized. And
1480
01:11:08.779 --> 01:11:11.840
so now, and we think this is wrong because the
1481
01:11:11.899 --> 01:11:15.859
employer of those people is obviously the person who, you know,
1482
01:11:15.880 --> 01:11:18.579
their grandma, the person who hired them. But the union
1483
01:11:18.600 --> 01:11:21.010
is claiming that all of these people are going to
1484
01:11:21.050 --> 01:11:24.210
be unionized. And that's going to be a massive problem
1485
01:11:24.250 --> 01:11:27.010
because now the federal government is going to be giving
1486
01:11:27.109 --> 01:11:30.239
money to the union, union dues, and what is the
1487
01:11:30.260 --> 01:11:32.479
union going to do with it? Political Action Committee to
1488
01:11:32.500 --> 01:11:35.979
support their candidates who support their getting more people unionized
1489
01:11:36.220 --> 01:11:38.560
who don't want to be in a union. And in California,
1490
01:11:38.579 --> 01:11:39.989
we found this. The same thing is going to happen
1491
01:11:40.010 --> 01:11:43.069
in New York, I believe. In California, the only meeting
1492
01:11:43.090 --> 01:11:45.390
you have to have to become one of these personal
1493
01:11:45.409 --> 01:11:48.850
care service people is a meeting with the union representative.
1494
01:11:49.090 --> 01:11:52.239
And we have 100 complaints that the union rep locked
1495
01:11:52.260 --> 01:11:54.520
the door, wouldn't let you leave until you signed to
1496
01:11:54.539 --> 01:11:56.359
join the union. And once you're in, you can't get out.
1497
01:11:56.859 --> 01:11:59.500
And the state supports this. And that's coming to New York.
1498
01:12:00.020 --> 01:12:02.090
And that was the kinds of issues because New York
1499
01:12:02.130 --> 01:12:04.710
is so expensive already. The Medicaid program in New York
1500
01:12:04.729 --> 01:12:07.590
is so much more expensive than anyone else's per capita.
1501
01:12:07.869 --> 01:12:12.739
I mean, it's massively bigger than Florida's Medicaid offering. And yet,
1502
01:12:13.100 --> 01:12:16.359
you know, it's not able to provide meaningfully different services.
1503
01:12:16.399 --> 01:12:20.699
So we're just putting money bad, good after bad around
1504
01:12:20.760 --> 01:12:23.010
programs that don't seem to work. That's the kind of
1505
01:12:23.279 --> 01:12:26.079
discipline that. You want your state to have. Otherwise, after
1506
01:12:26.119 --> 01:12:29.350
a while, these fraudsters don't just steal your money. They
1507
01:12:29.369 --> 01:12:32.029
steal your health. They steal your life. And Sid, listen carefully.
1508
01:12:32.310 --> 01:12:35.010
They steal your trust. These programs are built in a
1509
01:12:35.069 --> 01:12:38.569
high-trust society. When we don't trust our money to go
1510
01:12:38.630 --> 01:12:41.979
towards taking care of the poor, the disenfranchised, the folks
1511
01:12:42.020 --> 01:12:44.000
that we all know because we're a great country, we
1512
01:12:44.060 --> 01:12:46.380
want to help, people start saying, I'm not paying anymore.
1513
01:12:46.420 --> 01:12:48.500
I'm not putting money into that program anymore. And you
1514
01:12:48.520 --> 01:12:50.800
start shutting down programs that should have been out there
1515
01:12:50.819 --> 01:12:51.640
that would have been helpful.
1516
01:12:52.090 --> 01:12:54.640
So is it fair to say then that all these
1517
01:12:54.739 --> 01:12:57.590
issues fall on the governor and attorney general and the
1518
01:12:57.630 --> 01:12:58.390
folks in charge here?
1519
01:12:59.270 --> 01:13:02.069
Of course, the state Medicaid program is run by the state.
1520
01:13:02.489 --> 01:13:04.850
This is a beautiful part about the health care system,
1521
01:13:04.909 --> 01:13:07.250
if you can do it right. Medicare is run by
1522
01:13:07.550 --> 01:13:11.550
my agency, CMS. The president appointed me to run Medicare
1523
01:13:11.569 --> 01:13:15.050
for seniors, people over 65 mostly. We run that program,
1524
01:13:15.289 --> 01:13:19.270
took out $ 42 billion of fraud this year, this past year.
1525
01:13:19.590 --> 01:13:22.210
Medicaid for the poor is run by the states. The
1526
01:13:22.329 --> 01:13:26.029
argument was, in 1965, when both these programs were created,
1527
01:13:26.350 --> 01:13:28.880
The governors know their people better than anybody. They know
1528
01:13:28.899 --> 01:13:30.760
where the weaknesses are. They know where the problems are.
1529
01:13:30.800 --> 01:13:33.180
They know how to help their poor better than anybody else.
1530
01:13:33.460 --> 01:13:36.439
Let's keep that local. And so what ended up happening
1531
01:13:36.840 --> 01:13:40.029
is in Medicaid, because it wasn't good guardrails, we have
1532
01:13:40.050 --> 01:13:42.869
many more problems. So although I took out $ 42 billion
1533
01:13:42.909 --> 01:13:46.250
in fraud in Medicare, I only took out $ 4 billion
1534
01:13:46.289 --> 01:13:49.890
of fraud in Medicaid. They're the same size programs. That
1535
01:13:49.909 --> 01:13:52.479
means I'm getting one-tenth of the fraud out of Medicaid
1536
01:13:52.819 --> 01:13:54.760
than I am in Medicare, even though they're both equal
1537
01:13:54.779 --> 01:14:00.779
in size. So we're missing $ 38 billion of fraud, and
1538
01:14:00.819 --> 01:14:01.859
that's on governors.
1539
01:14:02.779 --> 01:14:06.260
Sounds like a pretty good campaigning piece for Bruce Blakeman
1540
01:14:06.279 --> 01:14:07.859
for me. I'm just saying. I may as well just
1541
01:14:08.100 --> 01:14:11.649
send him this clip, actually. You know, on the way out, Dr. Oz,
1542
01:14:11.989 --> 01:14:14.470
I don't get FOMO often because I get invited to
1543
01:14:14.489 --> 01:14:16.899
such cool stuff. You know, FOMO, of course, is... Fear
1544
01:14:16.939 --> 01:14:19.739
of missing out. But last week, when you had your
1545
01:14:19.819 --> 01:14:21.899
Maha day, and it was you, you know how much
1546
01:14:21.920 --> 01:14:26.479
I love you, and RFK Jr. and Mike Tyson, how
1547
01:14:26.560 --> 01:14:27.960
big of a day was that for you guys?
1548
01:14:28.739 --> 01:14:29.479
It was massive.
1549
01:14:29.619 --> 01:14:31.859
And again, it highlights that there are so many Americans
1550
01:14:31.899 --> 01:14:34.039
who realize that the battle for health is not.
1551
01:14:33.939 --> 01:14:35.930
Going to be one in an ER or an OR.
1552
01:14:36.390 --> 01:14:38.050
It's going to be one in your kitchen, your living room,
1553
01:14:38.090 --> 01:14:38.569
your bedroom.
1554
01:14:38.609 --> 01:14:40.630
And Mike Tyson, who's my neighbor, actually, as well, a
1555
01:14:40.689 --> 01:14:44.409
great guy, is so focused on making sure that he
1556
01:14:44.449 --> 01:14:47.210
gets his head together, gets his body fit. We've worked
1557
01:14:47.270 --> 01:14:50.649
out together. He's just a really solid human being. He's
1558
01:14:50.729 --> 01:14:52.710
worked through a lot of issues. And he tells a
1559
01:14:52.729 --> 01:14:54.649
beautiful story when he was a kid. This is why
1560
01:14:54.689 --> 01:14:56.949
he's always out there trying to help. He was a kid,
1561
01:14:57.050 --> 01:14:59.090
had a lot of problems in the criminal justice system,
1562
01:14:59.489 --> 01:15:04.449
just obviously tough but not disciplined. He meets a guy
1563
01:15:04.510 --> 01:15:07.630
who became his idol for life, came over, talked to him,
1564
01:15:07.930 --> 01:15:10.149
gave him a little pep talk, and it made him
1565
01:15:10.550 --> 01:15:14.079
become eventually the world champion. That guy's name was Muhammad Ali.
1566
01:15:14.640 --> 01:15:15.039
Wow.
1567
01:15:15.260 --> 01:15:18.079
And the fact that he had someone that he knew
1568
01:15:18.699 --> 01:15:21.560
understood the world and had excelled in the world in
1569
01:15:21.579 --> 01:15:24.119
a way that maybe he could give him something aspirational.
1570
01:15:24.619 --> 01:15:27.060
And that's why he's out there helping us with the
1571
01:15:27.100 --> 01:15:29.649
Maha movement. Bobby, as you know, Secretary Kennedy, who you
1572
01:15:29.670 --> 01:15:34.449
know well, he's an avatar for the movement because fundamentally
1573
01:15:34.569 --> 01:15:37.989
the Maha movement is about being curious. The way you are, Sid,
1574
01:15:38.010 --> 01:15:40.760
the way the president is. If you're truly curious, remember
1575
01:15:40.760 --> 01:15:44.859
80% of statements or questions are in this, you know,
1576
01:15:45.000 --> 01:15:47.560
the opposites. 80% of questions are statements in disguise.
1577
01:15:47.640 --> 01:15:49.079
Right. You want to flip that, right?
1578
01:15:49.359 --> 01:15:51.899
And get actually, and really ask important questions about what
1579
01:15:51.920 --> 01:15:53.840
happened to our health in America. Why do we have
1580
01:15:53.880 --> 01:15:56.680
so much chronic disease? Why are we having problems with fertility?
1581
01:15:56.800 --> 01:16:01.159
All the things that Americans are concerned about. Ask real questions.
1582
01:16:01.279 --> 01:16:03.779
If you're curious, you will. And here's the catch. You
1583
01:16:03.819 --> 01:16:06.590
have to be courageous enough to act on what you learn.
1584
01:16:06.829 --> 01:16:09.270
That's what Secretary Kennedy does. That's why people get upset,
1585
01:16:09.310 --> 01:16:11.350
because he's brave enough to tell you what he has
1586
01:16:11.409 --> 01:16:13.170
found and what you've got to do about it. And
1587
01:16:13.189 --> 01:16:15.409
then you want to be compassionate, because if people know
1588
01:16:15.470 --> 01:16:17.920
that you're standing because you care, not just because you're
1589
01:16:17.960 --> 01:16:23.319
frustrated and angry, that's a wonderful trio. So be curious, courageous,
1590
01:16:23.520 --> 01:16:24.199
and compassionate.
1591
01:16:24.579 --> 01:16:26.920
Dr. Oz, I love you. I really do. You folks
1592
01:16:26.939 --> 01:16:32.369
should read this, Phantom Obamacare Accounts. Sparked new crackdown as
1593
01:16:32.670 --> 01:16:37.329
Oz targets broker fraud. CMS administrator, my friend, Dr. Oz, 760,000
1594
01:16:37.329 --> 01:16:45.949
fraudulent accounts. Bye-bye. Saving us, taxpayers, $ 2. 2 billion. It's on
1595
01:16:45.989 --> 01:16:49.029
Fox News. How to Brennan wrote it. Dr. Oz, you
1596
01:16:49.069 --> 01:16:52.090
continue to do amazing work. I mean that sincerely. You
1597
01:16:52.149 --> 01:16:55.260
are just a miracle guy. You're fantastic. And thank you
1598
01:16:55.300 --> 01:16:56.979
so much for hopping on today and explaining all this
1599
01:16:57.000 --> 01:16:58.899
to my listeners. You are the man, Dr.
1600
01:16:59.079 --> 01:16:59.220
Oz.
1601
01:16:59.279 --> 01:17:00.100
Thank you so much.
1602
01:17:00.739 --> 01:17:01.149
God bless.
1603
01:17:01.159 --> 01:17:03.970
Take care. God bless you. Dr. Mehmet Oz right there.
1604
01:17:03.989 --> 01:17:08.510
He's doing an amazing job alongside RFK Jr. The Maha
1605
01:17:08.569 --> 01:17:12.180
movement is working in a big way. I'm very, very
1606
01:17:12.220 --> 01:17:14.979
proud of all those guys. Dr. Oz, right here on
1607
01:17:15.060 --> 01:17:17.060
Sid and Friends in the morning. We'll take a short break.
1608
01:17:17.079 --> 01:17:19.460
When we get back, we'll talk to Hank Shankoff.
1609
01:17:20.300 --> 01:17:23.770
Sid and Friends in the morning on the Red Apple
1610
01:17:23.930 --> 01:17:24.890
Podcast Network.
1611
01:17:26.039 --> 01:17:28.600
I mean, Mike Lawler, he can't get past an interview
1612
01:17:28.640 --> 01:17:30.380
these days without saying the F word twice.
1613
01:17:30.960 --> 01:17:31.520
Oh, forget it.
1614
01:17:31.600 --> 01:17:32.600
He's in his own world.
1615
01:17:32.659 --> 01:17:35.170
Now, I know I say some curse words on here,
1616
01:17:35.229 --> 01:17:36.710
and that's part of the beauty of the show. It's
1617
01:17:36.750 --> 01:17:39.590
because it's real. I'm not doing it to shock anybody.
1618
01:17:39.850 --> 01:17:42.130
That's how I talk. I'm from Brooklyn. My mother talks
1619
01:17:42.170 --> 01:17:44.670
that way. She's 91. But that's part of the beauty
1620
01:17:44.710 --> 01:17:47.109
of the program. But people feel so comfortable with me.
1621
01:17:47.630 --> 01:17:50.510
They forget they're on terrestrial radio. They did it wrong
1622
01:17:50.529 --> 01:17:54.989
with Howard on Sirius XM. So that was interesting. He's
1623
01:17:55.010 --> 01:17:57.489
a great interviewer, isn't he? Isn't Dr. Oz great?
1624
01:17:57.529 --> 01:17:58.409
He's fantastic.
1625
01:17:58.569 --> 01:18:00.710
So I asked Norm before I talked to Hank Sheinkopf here.
1626
01:18:01.369 --> 01:18:04.810
So I'm planning on, I spoke to Bruce Blakeman a
1627
01:18:04.850 --> 01:18:08.100
couple of times this weekend, going to Syracuse on Friday
1628
01:18:08.119 --> 01:18:12.300
to campaign with Bruce Blakeman and President Trump. That's a
1629
01:18:12.319 --> 01:18:14.720
nice threesome, you know. And Norm was like, you know,
1630
01:18:14.779 --> 01:18:16.359
it's like seven hours away. Well, I'm not going to
1631
01:18:16.439 --> 01:18:20.920
drive there. I don't think. I would imagine Bruce is
1632
01:18:20.979 --> 01:18:23.079
not going to drive there. Bruce, when he goes to
1633
01:18:23.140 --> 01:18:26.399
Buffalo or Syracuse, any one of those places, he hops
1634
01:18:26.460 --> 01:18:29.119
in a helicopter, I guess. A plane, I don't know.
1635
01:18:29.149 --> 01:18:32.689
Maybe a plane. But no one's driving to Syracuse.
1636
01:18:32.729 --> 01:18:34.529
Well, you could go to the Port Authority and the
1637
01:18:34.609 --> 01:18:37.609
bus is about $ 35. It's like a five-hour ride.
1638
01:18:37.630 --> 01:18:38.390
Five hours?
1639
01:18:38.409 --> 01:18:39.029
Yeah.
1640
01:18:39.050 --> 01:18:40.430
Can't do that. First of all, I have no idea
1641
01:18:40.470 --> 01:18:43.770
what time it starts. I'm doing the show here on Friday.
1642
01:18:43.789 --> 01:18:46.090
I keep asking Bruce. He doesn't know yet. The White
1643
01:18:46.109 --> 01:18:49.970
House hasn't told him yet. But the plan is, Blakeman, Trump,
1644
01:18:50.079 --> 01:18:51.960
and me on Friday, we'll see how all that works
1645
01:18:52.060 --> 01:18:54.260
out in terms of time and travel and all those
1646
01:18:54.279 --> 01:18:55.119
interesting questions.
1647
01:18:55.199 --> 01:18:57.979
I'm looking in Amtrak. It's a five and a half
1648
01:18:58.020 --> 01:19:00.210
hour ride. Yeah, that ain't going to happen.
1649
01:19:00.210 --> 01:19:00.630
$ 240 for a ticket.
1650
01:19:00.649 --> 01:19:03.250
The money doesn't matter. I'm going to have Kathy Hochul
1651
01:19:03.270 --> 01:19:03.579
pay for it.
1652
01:19:04.210 --> 01:19:04.970
If you fly.
1653
01:19:04.989 --> 01:19:05.329
Yeah.
1654
01:19:06.029 --> 01:19:07.109
You could go from LaGuardia.
1655
01:19:07.289 --> 01:19:07.449
Yeah.
1656
01:19:07.569 --> 01:19:10.270
It's about $ 665 for a last-minute ticket.
1657
01:19:10.430 --> 01:19:11.029
No way.
1658
01:19:11.130 --> 01:19:11.289
Yeah.
1659
01:19:11.489 --> 01:19:12.489
It's that much money?
1660
01:19:12.510 --> 01:19:13.409
Well, because you're waiting.
1661
01:19:13.930 --> 01:19:15.890
I don't care. It's a terrible price. The flight's on Friday.
1662
01:19:16.109 --> 01:19:18.640
Listen to me carefully, okay? Unless you go into a
1663
01:19:18.689 --> 01:19:21.460
basketball game at the Carrier Dome, there is no reason
1664
01:19:21.479 --> 01:19:23.960
to go to that godforsaken city. The college is great.
1665
01:19:24.380 --> 01:19:28.420
In fact, my son Gabriel is even applying to that school.
1666
01:19:28.479 --> 01:19:32.539
He's applying to nine Florida schools and Syracuse because they've
1667
01:19:32.560 --> 01:19:37.569
got the best media Center in all of college. What
1668
01:19:37.609 --> 01:19:41.760
is it called? Newhouse? Newhouse, right? They all went there.
1669
01:19:42.060 --> 01:19:47.140
Mike Tirico, Bob Costas, Ian Eagle, Marv Albert. They all
1670
01:19:47.159 --> 01:19:51.840
went there. Craig Carton. A lot went to Fordham, too. Fordham, too, yes. Yes,
1671
01:19:51.899 --> 01:19:53.439
Fordham's right behind them, I would say.
1672
01:19:53.880 --> 01:19:56.060
Well, here in the Bronx, but the campus is beautiful.
1673
01:19:56.649 --> 01:19:58.270
You're in the Bronx. You just said it. I know.
1674
01:19:58.489 --> 01:19:59.970
But Syracuse is awful, too.
1675
01:20:00.270 --> 01:20:01.850
But you got Arthur Avenue there.
1676
01:20:01.909 --> 01:20:03.510
Right. You don't got that in Syracuse.
1677
01:20:03.550 --> 01:20:06.409
No, Syracuse is very shady.
1678
01:20:06.649 --> 01:20:08.970
I'm sure Hank Shankop has been to Syracuse. Let's ask
1679
01:20:09.010 --> 01:20:10.909
him the brilliant mind that is Hank. I love having
1680
01:20:10.930 --> 01:20:12.869
this guy on. Hank, you've been to Syracuse?
1681
01:20:13.789 --> 01:20:14.439
Of course, Sid.
1682
01:20:15.229 --> 01:20:16.180
Many, many years ago.
1683
01:20:16.689 --> 01:20:17.880
And what do you think of that town?
1684
01:20:20.260 --> 01:20:21.760
Nice people.
1685
01:20:21.880 --> 01:20:22.560
Town needs help.
1686
01:20:24.390 --> 01:20:26.810
You know what's funny about that? The town does need help.
1687
01:20:27.229 --> 01:20:30.479
And I don't care, Hank Schoenkorff, if it's Syracuse or
1688
01:20:30.560 --> 01:20:34.380
Rochester or Utica. or right outside where my mom lives
1689
01:20:34.420 --> 01:20:37.859
in upstate New York, Monticello. All these towns are widowed
1690
01:20:37.880 --> 01:20:42.779
with people that are drug addled, completely poor, no jobs
1691
01:20:42.840 --> 01:20:45.840
and no hope. And Andrew Cuomo and Kathy Hochul, the
1692
01:20:45.880 --> 01:20:49.930
last two governors, promised they would spend their time fixing
1693
01:20:49.989 --> 01:20:53.289
all those upstate New York towns, and they've done none
1694
01:20:53.310 --> 01:20:56.869
of that. In fact, they've gone the other way by
1695
01:20:56.930 --> 01:20:58.590
ruining business. Is that fair to say?
1696
01:20:59.609 --> 01:21:04.260
It's fair to say that everybody keeps talking about repairing
1697
01:21:04.319 --> 01:21:07.670
Central New York and the Southern Tier and portions of
1698
01:21:07.689 --> 01:21:09.770
Western New York. And the end result is that nothing
1699
01:21:09.789 --> 01:21:13.199
gets repaired and nothing gets changed. Um, you know, it's
1700
01:21:13.239 --> 01:21:15.579
really quite bizarre and it goes on and on and on.
1701
01:21:15.600 --> 01:21:18.840
The people in those places can't go anywhere. The industrial
1702
01:21:19.300 --> 01:21:21.880
jobs are gone. There was a clean out during the
1703
01:21:21.920 --> 01:21:25.840
early Cuomo years, right? The first Cuomo years. Um, and
1704
01:21:25.899 --> 01:21:28.060
you know, it's, it's a disaster and it's not fair.
1705
01:21:28.619 --> 01:21:30.439
These are decent people who want to work and they've
1706
01:21:30.460 --> 01:21:33.039
been nothing. They've got no jobs. They've got no decent lives.
1707
01:21:33.060 --> 01:21:34.960
So what do people expect is going to happen? You
1708
01:21:35.000 --> 01:21:37.899
have people in the Southern tier working three jobs to survive.
1709
01:21:37.930 --> 01:21:40.590
Mm-hmm. It's not fair. No, it is. And some of
1710
01:21:40.609 --> 01:21:43.890
these towns like Syracuse have got the great university. I'll
1711
01:21:43.909 --> 01:21:46.500
tell you another one. Great school. One of the best
1712
01:21:46.539 --> 01:21:50.140
state schools in the country. Binghamton. You leave the university,
1713
01:21:50.760 --> 01:21:52.300
it's poverty all over the place.
1714
01:21:53.399 --> 01:21:58.010
Southern tier. It's a real problem. And the obsession with
1715
01:21:58.569 --> 01:22:02.470
talking about it doesn't accomplish anything. What's the economic plan
1716
01:22:02.510 --> 01:22:04.430
for the rest of the state of New York? There
1717
01:22:04.489 --> 01:22:06.949
is none. It just kind of dribbles along. And when
1718
01:22:06.989 --> 01:22:09.939
people run for governor or for others, they talk about
1719
01:22:09.979 --> 01:22:12.979
all the wonderful things they're going to do, but they don't.
1720
01:22:13.640 --> 01:22:15.800
It's remained the same for a long, long time, and
1721
01:22:15.960 --> 01:22:17.560
there's no indication it'll get any better.
1722
01:22:17.720 --> 01:22:18.979
Well, let me ask you this. When you say there's
1723
01:22:19.000 --> 01:22:21.260
no indication it'll get any better, give me an honest answer,
1724
01:22:21.279 --> 01:22:24.000
which you always do. That's why I love Habanon. Bruce Blakeman,
1725
01:22:24.520 --> 01:22:26.359
what do you think of his campaign so far?
1726
01:22:27.850 --> 01:22:30.010
Bruce Blakeman is a very decent guy with a good
1727
01:22:30.090 --> 01:22:33.810
record who was absolutely committed to making the state better. Period.
1728
01:22:34.449 --> 01:22:36.149
And you can't say anything bad about him. He's a
1729
01:22:36.170 --> 01:22:36.569
good man.
1730
01:22:37.630 --> 01:22:40.550
So, in your estimation, and you're a very smart guy,
1731
01:22:40.569 --> 01:22:43.300
you've been around this game a long time, because I
1732
01:22:43.340 --> 01:22:45.119
think you would be, do you think he'd be an
1733
01:22:45.359 --> 01:22:48.539
exponentially better governor than Kathy Hochul?
1734
01:22:49.699 --> 01:22:52.359
The problem he will face is the Hochul problem, which
1735
01:22:52.479 --> 01:22:56.760
is the state's finances, the city's finances, It's going to
1736
01:22:56.800 --> 01:22:59.640
be quite, after going into next year, it's going to
1737
01:22:59.659 --> 01:23:02.859
be quite, quite, quite difficult. We're going to face some
1738
01:23:02.899 --> 01:23:06.319
severe fiscal issues that the present mayor of New York
1739
01:23:06.340 --> 01:23:09.159
City is really not interested in fixing. What he seems
1740
01:23:09.180 --> 01:23:11.420
to be interested in doing is preparing to demand more
1741
01:23:11.460 --> 01:23:15.180
money from the governor to keep the city running because
1742
01:23:15.220 --> 01:23:18.119
he can't do it with the kind of budgets he's
1743
01:23:18.140 --> 01:23:21.319
talking about, the kind of programming he's talking about, while
1744
01:23:21.520 --> 01:23:23.489
having the kind of revenue he won't be talking about.
1745
01:23:24.069 --> 01:23:25.649
Blakeman's going to have to stand up to him if
1746
01:23:25.680 --> 01:23:29.760
he's the governor. And that's going to be a big deal.
1747
01:23:29.800 --> 01:23:33.250
Very big deal. We can face something akin to 1975
1748
01:23:33.250 --> 01:23:35.449
going into the next year, year and a half, if
1749
01:23:35.470 --> 01:23:36.149
this continues.
1750
01:23:36.430 --> 01:23:38.250
Well, Blakeman's a tough guy. He's the box, you know.
1751
01:23:38.289 --> 01:23:40.220
He's not afraid of Mamdani, and he will stand up
1752
01:23:40.229 --> 01:23:42.439
to him, but This creep, you're right, this creep took
1753
01:23:42.479 --> 01:23:45.079
a victory lap after his budget when the truth is
1754
01:23:45.479 --> 01:23:48.060
Kathy Hochul bailed him out. And she bailed him out.
1755
01:23:48.079 --> 01:23:52.060
Let's not forget, it took a very, very, very long
1756
01:23:52.119 --> 01:23:55.500
time for Mamdani to even endorse Hochul. She did it
1757
01:23:55.520 --> 01:23:59.470
right away. She couldn't wait. It took him forever. He
1758
01:23:59.510 --> 01:24:02.850
didn't show her any loyalty. Now he does. Now he
1759
01:24:02.890 --> 01:24:05.369
does because she bailed him out. But the truth is,
1760
01:24:05.890 --> 01:24:07.789
why would he do a victory lap on his budget
1761
01:24:08.050 --> 01:24:09.770
when the state had to bail him out?
1762
01:24:10.659 --> 01:24:13.380
Eight billion bucks. It's a lot of cabbage, as we
1763
01:24:13.439 --> 01:24:18.180
used to say. Look, I've been involved with municipal unions
1764
01:24:18.199 --> 01:24:20.930
for an awfully long time, looked at budgets for an
1765
01:24:21.050 --> 01:24:24.350
awfully long time, and been involved in crisis management, which
1766
01:24:24.369 --> 01:24:27.109
is the bulk of my business, for an awfully long time.
1767
01:24:27.569 --> 01:24:29.970
The reality here is what people don't want to face.
1768
01:24:30.029 --> 01:24:33.850
This guy is the dreamer. Someone has to be a
1769
01:24:33.890 --> 01:24:36.130
realist and say to the dreamer, by the way, we're
1770
01:24:36.149 --> 01:24:38.170
not going to fund your revolution. You have to figure
1771
01:24:38.189 --> 01:24:41.079
out how you're going to make it affordable. And he
1772
01:24:41.119 --> 01:24:43.500
can't do that. And the battle is going to be
1773
01:24:43.560 --> 01:24:46.659
proving that he's wrong to the people that support him most.
1774
01:24:46.880 --> 01:24:48.319
When they find out what this is really going to
1775
01:24:48.359 --> 01:24:50.420
cost and who's not going to pay for it, they're
1776
01:24:50.439 --> 01:24:53.430
going to revolt. It's going to be quite something to watch.
1777
01:24:53.529 --> 01:24:54.369
Quite something to watch.
1778
01:24:54.430 --> 01:24:56.149
I don't know if they're going to revolt, though. That's
1779
01:24:56.210 --> 01:24:59.369
the problem. And maybe I've just lost all confidence in
1780
01:24:59.390 --> 01:25:02.909
the Democrat New Yorker or the DSA New Yorker or
1781
01:25:03.409 --> 01:25:06.779
the anti-Republican New Yorker. I don't know. I mean, I
1782
01:25:06.810 --> 01:25:09.449
keep getting told by people, hey, Sid, while you spend
1783
01:25:09.489 --> 01:25:12.369
your days and nights hating on the mayor, which I do,
1784
01:25:12.810 --> 01:25:15.329
every day I hate on the mayor. I really do
1785
01:25:15.390 --> 01:25:18.010
hate him. While you spend your days and nights doing that,
1786
01:25:18.350 --> 01:25:21.060
his popularity is growing. Is that true?
1787
01:25:21.760 --> 01:25:23.579
Sid, you and I are in agreement. I'm not saying
1788
01:25:23.619 --> 01:25:25.300
that they're going to revolt against the mayor. They're going
1789
01:25:25.319 --> 01:25:28.460
to revolt against the system. They're very unhappy they can't
1790
01:25:28.479 --> 01:25:31.420
get what he's promising. There's nothing to indicate right now
1791
01:25:31.479 --> 01:25:34.630
that people would be terribly opposed to the mayor. He's
1792
01:25:34.670 --> 01:25:38.670
an extraordinarily talented politician. He is great to the camera.
1793
01:25:39.170 --> 01:25:42.489
He is good. His mouth works like a charm. And
1794
01:25:42.529 --> 01:25:45.550
thus far, he can blame everybody else for everything. And
1795
01:25:45.590 --> 01:25:48.170
that kind of behavior is going to continue. That's what
1796
01:25:48.210 --> 01:25:52.399
he's good at. He's a demagogue in non-demagogue clothing. And
1797
01:25:52.439 --> 01:25:55.140
he's really good at it. And he knows how to
1798
01:25:55.199 --> 01:25:58.979
find good enemies. The city's demographics are changing. Its economics
1799
01:25:59.050 --> 01:26:02.489
are changing. That generally is the precursor to having these
1800
01:26:02.510 --> 01:26:06.010
kinds of elections where the outcomes are unusual and unexpected.
1801
01:26:06.649 --> 01:26:08.569
So what the city will face is something that he's
1802
01:26:08.670 --> 01:26:11.850
never understood and has no desire to understand. What you
1803
01:26:11.880 --> 01:26:13.600
need is an adult at all. But he was prepared
1804
01:26:13.619 --> 01:26:17.239
to tell him no and to understand that if the
1805
01:26:17.260 --> 01:26:19.640
city goes through what it looks like it's going to
1806
01:26:19.659 --> 01:26:22.779
go through, The recovery time won't be as easy as
1807
01:26:22.840 --> 01:26:25.359
it was, frankly, in 75, which was not easy at all.
1808
01:26:26.350 --> 01:26:27.909
Oh, that's a tough job for Blake.
1809
01:26:28.069 --> 01:26:28.289
Yeah.
1810
01:26:28.649 --> 01:26:31.989
What do you think is really behind this talking about
1811
01:26:32.029 --> 01:26:34.670
his relationships and people tend to like him, President Trump?
1812
01:26:35.270 --> 01:26:37.189
You know, I've had people tell me that are very
1813
01:26:37.229 --> 01:26:40.060
close to the president related. He doesn't really like him,
1814
01:26:40.359 --> 01:26:43.479
but he wants he wants New York to survive. Others
1815
01:26:43.520 --> 01:26:46.439
have said, yeah, he kind of likes him. Now, you
1816
01:26:46.479 --> 01:26:48.970
know this. I love the president. I've got a great
1817
01:26:48.989 --> 01:26:52.609
relationship with the president. We're legitimately friends. But every time
1818
01:26:52.630 --> 01:26:56.130
he says something nice, I'm Donnie, or comes to Gracie Mansion,
1819
01:26:56.529 --> 01:26:58.640
I go nuts. And I do think the president is
1820
01:26:58.680 --> 01:27:01.000
aware of it, probably doesn't like it, but I can't
1821
01:27:01.039 --> 01:27:03.439
help myself. I'm sorry. What do you think is the
1822
01:27:03.640 --> 01:27:06.399
true nature of that relationship?
1823
01:27:07.500 --> 01:27:09.659
Puts your enemies to sleep. It's always a better way
1824
01:27:09.680 --> 01:27:13.680
to deal with them. And the reality is somewhat difficult
1825
01:27:13.699 --> 01:27:16.420
for a lot of people to understand. Should New York
1826
01:27:17.000 --> 01:27:19.180
go belly up, which is not out of the realm
1827
01:27:19.239 --> 01:27:21.770
of possibility. New York City go belly up, not in
1828
01:27:21.779 --> 01:27:24.930
the realm of possibility at all. The mayor's going to
1829
01:27:24.970 --> 01:27:26.430
have to go to the president, to go to the
1830
01:27:26.449 --> 01:27:28.930
Federal Reserve, to get a bailout loan probably, right?
1831
01:27:30.149 --> 01:27:30.329
Yeah.
1832
01:27:30.649 --> 01:27:34.050
Guess what? This president does not want to be the
1833
01:27:34.109 --> 01:27:34.810
guy to tell.
1834
01:27:34.670 --> 01:27:35.449
New York City.
1835
01:27:35.470 --> 01:27:38.189
So you're telling me that, and I get all that, okay?
1836
01:27:38.649 --> 01:27:41.779
But can he do all that? and still be civil
1837
01:27:42.260 --> 01:27:48.029
without really going over the top, compliments, great guy, potential
1838
01:27:48.050 --> 01:27:50.810
to be a great mayor. You think that Trump, to
1839
01:27:50.829 --> 01:27:53.399
get what you're talking about, needs to lather him up
1840
01:27:53.500 --> 01:27:53.960
that much?
1841
01:27:54.890 --> 01:27:56.890
Now, I think Trump is smarter than that. What I
1842
01:27:56.930 --> 01:27:59.449
think he's doing is not lathering him up so much
1843
01:27:59.510 --> 01:28:03.479
as trying to make his enemies see him as a
1844
01:28:03.600 --> 01:28:06.649
more multidimensional. See, Trump is a more multidimensional character.
1845
01:28:06.689 --> 01:28:09.159
So you've used the word you've used the word enemy
1846
01:28:09.220 --> 01:28:11.079
now twice, Hank, and you're a very smart guy. So
1847
01:28:11.100 --> 01:28:15.460
you think Trump, despite this public deal, views the mayor
1848
01:28:15.600 --> 01:28:16.220
as an enemy?
1849
01:28:17.260 --> 01:28:19.810
I think Trump knows who Mondani really is.
1850
01:28:21.189 --> 01:28:21.989
I love that answer.
1851
01:28:22.130 --> 01:28:25.100
And he knows who he really is. And he's very cagey.
1852
01:28:25.439 --> 01:28:28.760
That president is very, very smart about protecting his Turk
1853
01:28:29.180 --> 01:28:31.140
and about ensuring that he can do what he wants.
1854
01:28:31.699 --> 01:28:34.510
He knows what's coming down. He knows he doesn't want
1855
01:28:34.520 --> 01:28:38.390
to have Mamdani campaigning against Republicans and others any more
1856
01:28:38.409 --> 01:28:40.960
than is necessary. although it probably would help the Republicans
1857
01:28:41.000 --> 01:28:45.060
get elected, quite frankly, outside New York City. And there
1858
01:28:45.119 --> 01:28:48.439
is a wall that's been constructed effectively at the Nassau
1859
01:28:48.479 --> 01:28:53.029
County line and half of Westchester line. against Mondani. People
1860
01:28:53.069 --> 01:28:54.750
know who he is. So does the president of the
1861
01:28:54.770 --> 01:28:57.109
United States. So to create an additional war, what do
1862
01:28:57.140 --> 01:28:59.260
you need more conflict? The president is smart enough to
1863
01:28:59.300 --> 01:29:03.180
constrain conflict where it's needed and not to create conflict
1864
01:29:03.199 --> 01:29:05.020
where it's not needed. And right now, that battle with
1865
01:29:05.060 --> 01:29:06.260
Mondani does not help them.
1866
01:29:07.319 --> 01:29:09.500
No, it doesn't. But I would ask you this, okay?
1867
01:29:09.520 --> 01:29:12.020
He's got three-plus years to go. It feels like Mamdani's
1868
01:29:12.039 --> 01:29:14.760
been mayor for 100 years. It's only been about nine months.
1869
01:29:14.779 --> 01:29:18.189
It's already a disaster. You talk about Republicans winning outside
1870
01:29:18.199 --> 01:29:20.510
of New York City. And the onus is on Eddie.
1871
01:29:20.550 --> 01:29:23.310
I love Ed Cox. Nice guy. And the Republican Party
1872
01:29:23.329 --> 01:29:25.170
in New York to put out better candidates. I mean,
1873
01:29:25.210 --> 01:29:28.010
this Curtis Slewa was a joke. He was out there
1874
01:29:28.050 --> 01:29:30.689
the whole time just trying to make sure Cuomo didn't win.
1875
01:29:31.210 --> 01:29:33.789
The whole city was scared to death of Mamdani. All
1876
01:29:33.829 --> 01:29:36.529
Curtis cared about was make sure Cuomo doesn't win. And
1877
01:29:36.550 --> 01:29:39.590
I'm not sure what benefits he reaped from that. The
1878
01:29:39.609 --> 01:29:42.350
guy's doing videos of the inner circle. They're getting a
1879
01:29:42.409 --> 01:29:45.109
flu shot together and yucking it up this weekend. It
1880
01:29:45.130 --> 01:29:48.109
really is grotesque for people like me that put my
1881
01:29:48.189 --> 01:29:50.949
trust and put Curtis on every day for six years
1882
01:29:51.170 --> 01:29:53.090
because I thought he really wanted a win. As it
1883
01:29:53.130 --> 01:29:55.409
turns out, he never wanted a win. He just wanted
1884
01:29:55.430 --> 01:29:58.850
to make sure Cuomo didn't win. So moving forward... He
1885
01:29:58.899 --> 01:29:59.569
never had a shot.
1886
01:29:59.609 --> 01:30:00.159
Of course not.
1887
01:30:00.199 --> 01:30:03.579
Come on, 7%. So moving forward, you know, my name
1888
01:30:03.619 --> 01:30:06.439
has been bandied about. You know, they talk about Tisch
1889
01:30:06.779 --> 01:30:10.279
as an independent. Let's stick with Republicans, okay? How do
1890
01:30:10.300 --> 01:30:13.739
we make sure Republicans get better candidates in the city?
1891
01:30:13.760 --> 01:30:17.159
You've got to create a Republican party in New York City.
1892
01:30:17.189 --> 01:30:20.329
That's the first step. They're doing it in Brooklyn to
1893
01:30:20.350 --> 01:30:22.609
some extent. You've got to have... You've got to have
1894
01:30:22.649 --> 01:30:25.770
Republicans much more vocal, much more visible. There are some
1895
01:30:25.810 --> 01:30:28.289
candidates running this year who are better Republican candidates than
1896
01:30:28.310 --> 01:30:30.340
we've had in some time. And you have to look
1897
01:30:30.380 --> 01:30:33.500
at the historical trend. There's something wrong with the historical trend.
1898
01:30:33.520 --> 01:30:35.380
What do I mean by that? If you look at
1899
01:30:35.420 --> 01:30:38.939
Manhattan alone, at one point you had a Republican congressman,
1900
01:30:38.979 --> 01:30:42.779
a Republican councilman, a Republican state senator, a Republican assemblyman.
1901
01:30:42.819 --> 01:30:46.039
That's in the modern era, in just the Upper East Side.
1902
01:30:46.479 --> 01:30:50.399
What happened? republicanism fell apart it moved too far to
1903
01:30:50.420 --> 01:30:52.689
the right and now there's an opportunity to come back
1904
01:30:52.710 --> 01:30:55.930
to the center and have centrist republicans who were upset
1905
01:30:55.970 --> 01:30:58.350
with mondani and were afraid about jews being beaten in
1906
01:30:58.390 --> 01:31:00.710
the streets which is where a step away from that
1907
01:31:00.750 --> 01:31:04.340
saying much more of right we're going to promote against
1908
01:31:04.359 --> 01:31:06.239
this and say we need republic we need a republican
1909
01:31:06.260 --> 01:31:09.819
party that is multi-dimensional multi-functional and someone's going to fund
1910
01:31:10.260 --> 01:31:16.649
doing real campaigns that are smart and that are potentially winnable.
1911
01:31:16.989 --> 01:31:19.829
That's not what's happening right now. We have terrific people
1912
01:31:19.850 --> 01:31:22.329
who are out there who want to win campaigns who
1913
01:31:22.350 --> 01:31:25.409
are running as Republicans. There are, in many cases, women
1914
01:31:25.510 --> 01:31:27.369
in New York City. We ought to be able to
1915
01:31:27.430 --> 01:31:29.840
support them. Why? Whether you want to be a Republican
1916
01:31:29.880 --> 01:31:34.300
or not, democracy demands multiple viewpoints and democracy demands a
1917
01:31:34.319 --> 01:31:37.319
two-party system that functions well. And part of our problem
1918
01:31:37.359 --> 01:31:40.779
nationally is that we don't have that. And anybody who
1919
01:31:40.819 --> 01:31:42.279
thinks otherwise is fooling themselves.
1920
01:31:42.500 --> 01:31:44.600
Now, you're right. I mean, we've got this. I hosted
1921
01:31:44.659 --> 01:31:46.260
an event for her last week because I happen to
1922
01:31:46.279 --> 01:31:48.239
like her. And I think she can win. And she's brilliant.
1923
01:31:48.539 --> 01:31:51.699
Caroline Schenkel running on the Upper East Side and Upper
1924
01:31:51.739 --> 01:31:54.359
West Side, running for that old Jerry Nath receipt. There's
1925
01:31:54.399 --> 01:31:57.149
a woman right there running as a Republican, but common sense.
1926
01:31:57.510 --> 01:32:02.369
So should the next mayor candidate be a non-politician like Trump,
1927
01:32:02.409 --> 01:32:05.729
like a Sid Rosenberg or a Michael Rappaport or or?
1928
01:32:06.319 --> 01:32:10.359
a wealthy businessman, somebody like Bill Ackman, who do you think, well,
1929
01:32:10.420 --> 01:32:13.210
what should that profile look like for the next potential
1930
01:32:13.529 --> 01:32:14.470
Republican candidate?
1931
01:32:15.310 --> 01:32:18.510
Let's go back in history again, Sid. And the questions
1932
01:32:18.529 --> 01:32:20.630
you raised are very important ones. So let me see
1933
01:32:20.670 --> 01:32:23.090
if I can distill it in this way. If you
1934
01:32:23.109 --> 01:32:24.609
look at the history of New York City, going back
1935
01:32:24.649 --> 01:32:29.640
to LaGuardia, Republicans have been elected citywide when there's a crisis. LaGuardia,
1936
01:32:29.699 --> 01:32:33.199
the crisis was corruption. Lindsay, the crisis was the breakdown
1937
01:32:33.239 --> 01:32:36.840
of city services. Giuliani, the crisis was crime, although we
1938
01:32:36.859 --> 01:32:39.199
can discuss that in a different way one day. And
1939
01:32:39.260 --> 01:32:42.119
for Blueberry, the crisis was 9-11. Those are the four
1940
01:32:42.140 --> 01:32:46.560
Republican mayors elected since LaGuardia, right? We need a crisis
1941
01:32:46.729 --> 01:32:51.500
that is discernible with candidates that are winnable. And thus far,
1942
01:32:51.520 --> 01:32:53.659
the Republicans have not been able to do that since
1943
01:32:53.699 --> 01:32:54.310
Mike Bloomberg.
1944
01:32:54.770 --> 01:32:55.750
And Mike Bloomberg ran.
1945
01:32:55.649 --> 01:32:57.770
As Republican because that was the best way for him
1946
01:32:57.789 --> 01:33:01.569
to get elected, and as an independent. And absent 9-11,
1947
01:33:01.750 --> 01:33:04.010
it's a question whether he would have been elected, but
1948
01:33:04.029 --> 01:33:06.939
9-11 elected him. There you have the story. We don't
1949
01:33:06.960 --> 01:33:10.239
want another 9-11, but someone has to begin working today
1950
01:33:10.319 --> 01:33:12.279
to prove that there's a crisis that has to be
1951
01:33:12.319 --> 01:33:15.510
resolved going forward. Absent that, it's going to be hard
1952
01:33:15.550 --> 01:33:16.050
to elect a Republican.
1953
01:33:16.920 --> 01:33:17.500
Last one.
1954
01:33:17.539 --> 01:33:19.899
What a great conversation. My producer just said, man, this
1955
01:33:19.939 --> 01:33:24.560
guy's really smart. He really is. Hank, I guess we've
1956
01:33:24.579 --> 01:33:26.090
been talking about the mayor. So let me just ask
1957
01:33:26.130 --> 01:33:28.829
you this. I got a lot of people who yell
1958
01:33:28.890 --> 01:33:30.810
awful things at me, call me the worst names you
1959
01:33:30.829 --> 01:33:33.350
could ever imagine. And they go, you're just jealous because
1960
01:33:33.369 --> 01:33:36.560
he's doing a good job. And my next question is, really?
1961
01:33:37.189 --> 01:33:39.279
Then give me the four or five things he's done
1962
01:33:39.300 --> 01:33:41.500
that have really helped this city in his first nine
1963
01:33:41.539 --> 01:33:45.100
months in office. Some talk about this child care thing. Fantastic.
1964
01:33:45.119 --> 01:33:45.300
Great.
1965
01:33:46.060 --> 01:33:48.340
Others talk about freezing the rent, which, by the way,
1966
01:33:48.380 --> 01:33:50.590
is screwing the landlords. And Randy Mastro is involved in
1967
01:33:50.609 --> 01:33:53.109
a lawsuit there, too. You tell me, Hank, what are
1968
01:33:53.130 --> 01:33:57.090
all these great things outside of smiling and doing interviews
1969
01:33:57.189 --> 01:34:00.350
and wooing people like Melissa Russo should be ashamed of herself?
1970
01:34:00.770 --> 01:34:02.479
What has the mayor done that is so great?
1971
01:34:03.569 --> 01:34:03.939
Nothing.
1972
01:34:05.220 --> 01:34:05.539
Thank you.
1973
01:34:05.960 --> 01:34:06.159
Next.
1974
01:34:06.680 --> 01:34:06.859
Next.
1975
01:34:07.300 --> 01:34:09.960
Yeah, that's it. That's all I wanted. God, I love you.
1976
01:34:10.380 --> 01:34:15.000
It is the charismatic nature of nothingness. that is propelling
1977
01:34:15.239 --> 01:34:20.239
Mazur on Mondami. And that culturally, that is an extraordinary
1978
01:34:20.979 --> 01:34:25.149
charismatic position to be in. The charisma of nothingness. And
1979
01:34:25.170 --> 01:34:28.050
the New Yorkers love it because they are tired of somethingness.
1980
01:34:28.649 --> 01:34:30.569
And here they have nothingness and it makes them feel
1981
01:34:30.609 --> 01:34:33.890
so good about themselves because the words have no bearing
1982
01:34:33.909 --> 01:34:36.000
to reality, but the words are what they're listening to.
1983
01:34:36.560 --> 01:34:39.039
And it's quite extraordinary. And it wakes up with quite
1984
01:34:39.060 --> 01:34:39.579
the hangover.
1985
01:34:39.659 --> 01:34:42.859
I know, I know. So are New Yorkers stupid?
1986
01:34:46.149 --> 01:34:49.710
Well, the city has changed. When you have these kind
1987
01:34:49.729 --> 01:34:52.710
of electoral events where the unusual occurs, like I just said,
1988
01:34:52.729 --> 01:34:56.069
you have a crisis. We had a crisis, and the
1989
01:34:56.109 --> 01:35:00.520
crisis was, unfortunately, the Adams administration. The other crisis was
1990
01:35:00.579 --> 01:35:02.539
the failure of the political system to come up with
1991
01:35:02.579 --> 01:35:08.600
candidates that were at all capable of winning in ways
1992
01:35:08.640 --> 01:35:11.239
that make sense. I mean, the field of candidates was
1993
01:35:11.279 --> 01:35:14.520
not good. And Mondani was just a better candidate. I
1994
01:35:14.560 --> 01:35:16.430
commented to people at the time. They said, you don't
1995
01:35:16.439 --> 01:35:18.149
know what you're talking about, you're an old man. I said, no,
1996
01:35:18.170 --> 01:35:20.869
I'm smarter about this than most people are. And I said,
1997
01:35:20.890 --> 01:35:24.970
you've got to run a campaign where everything old is
1998
01:35:25.010 --> 01:35:26.609
new again. What do I mean by that? It's in
1999
01:35:26.649 --> 01:35:29.369
the streets and it's on the web. The rest of
2000
01:35:29.430 --> 01:35:31.529
it's nonsense. They said to me, no, you don't understand.
2001
01:35:32.260 --> 01:35:34.680
Most of the people who said I didn't understand were
2002
01:35:34.699 --> 01:35:36.579
trying to make enough money to buy two houses in
2003
01:35:36.600 --> 01:35:39.909
the Hamptons on campaigns. But the reality is that's how
2004
01:35:39.970 --> 01:35:41.350
it is, and you've got to get into the street
2005
01:35:41.409 --> 01:35:43.449
to make it work. That means you have to work
2006
01:35:43.470 --> 01:35:46.310
for a living. And consultants are not ready to do
2007
01:35:46.350 --> 01:35:49.329
that anymore because they have this deluded idea that somehow
2008
01:35:49.369 --> 01:35:52.630
God gave them the ability to grift their way through life.
2009
01:35:53.789 --> 01:35:55.649
And until you get people who really want to fight
2010
01:35:55.689 --> 01:35:59.020
this guy, he's going to win. He's going to win.
2011
01:35:59.359 --> 01:35:59.859
He's going to win.
2012
01:36:00.060 --> 01:36:03.220
Hank, you're amazing. I've got to tell you, another amazing segment.
2013
01:36:03.239 --> 01:36:05.140
Thank you so much for doing this on this Monday morning.
2014
01:36:05.180 --> 01:36:07.220
We really love having you, buddy. Thank you so much.
2015
01:36:07.939 --> 01:36:08.880
Thank you, Sid. All the best.
2016
01:36:09.359 --> 01:36:11.699
All the best to you. Hank Sheinkopf right there. What
2017
01:36:11.720 --> 01:36:15.119
a great guest. And my contention is he knows more
2018
01:36:15.159 --> 01:36:18.100
about this city and the history of this city than anyone.
2019
01:36:18.460 --> 01:36:22.220
Hank Sheinkopf. We'll take a break. Still to come, John Katzmatidis.

2022
01:36:29.010 --> 01:36:32.010
The Bernie and Sid Show. It's about truth.
2023
01:36:32.189 --> 01:36:36.489
The damn truth. New York's truth. The truth behind the BS.
2024
01:36:36.689 --> 01:36:39.229
For New York, nothing at all in between.
2025
01:36:39.270 --> 01:36:40.949
This is Bernard McGurk.
2026
01:36:40.970 --> 01:36:41.710
Bernard McGurk.
2027
01:36:41.729 --> 01:36:46.970
Sir Bernie. This is Sid Rosenberg. The one and only Sid. Live, local,
2028
01:36:47.250 --> 01:36:47.609
on it.
2029
01:36:48.029 --> 01:36:51.390
Exclusively 77 WABC.
2030
01:36:52.310 --> 01:36:56.979
I'm happy to announce this is actually great news in
2031
01:36:57.020 --> 01:37:00.819
terms of If you love listening to the radio, the
2032
01:37:00.960 --> 01:37:06.840
WABC has decided to team up Bernard McGurk and Sid
2033
01:37:06.960 --> 01:37:10.220
Rosenberg and put them on the radio at 10 o'clock
2034
01:37:10.279 --> 01:37:12.560
this morning and every other morning after that.
2035
01:37:13.579 --> 01:37:14.359
Bernie and Sid.
2036
01:37:14.659 --> 01:37:15.479
Oh, my God.
2037
01:37:15.920 --> 01:37:18.220
Now, Bernie's still going to be on our program, of course.
2038
01:37:18.239 --> 01:37:21.500
He's been the executive producer of the Iverson Williams program forever.
2039
01:37:22.569 --> 01:37:25.409
And Sid, of course, we work with Sid. Sid used
2040
01:37:25.439 --> 01:37:25.939
to do sports.
2041
01:37:26.239 --> 01:37:28.300
You want to finish that thought, I-Man?
2042
01:37:28.460 --> 01:37:29.539
There you go, the I-Man.
2043
01:37:30.439 --> 01:37:32.600
Well, it doesn't get... Pump it up, Bernie and Sid.
2044
01:37:32.619 --> 01:37:35.260
How about that for a ringing endorsement? Don Imus loves
2045
01:37:35.359 --> 01:37:36.460
the show already.
2046
01:37:36.479 --> 01:37:39.810
It doesn't get any better. That is huge, man. That
2047
01:37:39.869 --> 01:37:41.010
is huge. Do you feel the pressure?
2048
01:37:42.300 --> 01:37:42.819
Not really, no.
2049
01:37:44.920 --> 01:37:46.680
I got to say, though, Bernie and Sid, we sound
2050
01:37:46.699 --> 01:37:47.920
like a gay Jewish couple.
2051
01:37:47.960 --> 01:37:51.579
We do a little bit. One of those, like, Muppet things. Two, like,
2052
01:37:51.659 --> 01:37:53.579
old Muppet guys in the movie theater on the very,
2053
01:37:53.619 --> 01:37:55.279
very top. That's kind of us, too.
2054
01:37:55.399 --> 01:37:57.479
We are kind of married at this point. We are.
2055
01:37:57.680 --> 01:37:57.960
We are.
2056
01:37:58.000 --> 01:38:00.180
But it's a good thing.
2057
01:38:00.199 --> 01:38:01.000
Yeah, you look good.
2058
01:38:02.760 --> 01:38:04.720
No conjugal relationship here, though.
2059
01:38:04.800 --> 01:38:05.100
Not yet.
2060
01:38:05.279 --> 01:38:07.350
Let me reassure the audience of that.
2061
01:38:07.470 --> 01:38:07.649
Right.
2062
01:38:08.609 --> 01:38:10.149
But not that that would be a bad thing.
2063
01:38:10.170 --> 01:38:10.369
No, no.
2064
01:38:10.430 --> 01:38:11.229
It's a beautiful thing.
2065
01:38:11.289 --> 01:38:13.640
And you would get the much better of the deal
2066
01:38:13.649 --> 01:38:17.039
at this point. 2022, four years ago today, we lost Bernard.
2067
01:38:17.060 --> 01:38:19.479
But somewhere he's smiling because his daughter, I'll be there,
2068
01:38:19.899 --> 01:38:23.810
is getting married this Saturday. His beautiful daughter, Melanie, getting
2069
01:38:23.810 --> 01:38:26.689
married this Saturday. I spoke to his wife, Carol McGurk,
2070
01:38:26.689 --> 01:38:29.560
at about 5.45 this morning, and she's very excited about
2071
01:38:29.600 --> 01:38:32.520
the wedding, and also Bernard has, since he passed away,
2072
01:38:33.039 --> 01:38:37.840
two grandsons, two, that his son and his daughter-in-law have had.
2073
01:38:37.899 --> 01:38:40.920
So he's missed a lot, but hopefully he's watching from
2074
01:38:40.960 --> 01:38:43.430
somewhere in heaven and seeing all these great things happening
2075
01:38:43.869 --> 01:38:46.310
to the McGurk family. We'll take a short break. When
2076
01:38:46.350 --> 01:38:48.149
we get back, I love this guy. Had a big
2077
01:38:48.210 --> 01:38:51.729
night on Friday night, him and His beautiful wife, Margo. Big,
2078
01:38:51.770 --> 01:38:53.989
big party. It was great. And a lot going on
2079
01:38:54.029 --> 01:38:57.069
in the city. Nobody better to talk to than Mr.
2080
01:38:57.109 --> 01:39:00.329
Red Apple Media himself, our dear friend John Katsimatidis, makes
2081
01:39:00.369 --> 01:39:01.909
his Monday morning appearance.

Podcast Network.
2084
01:39:08.590 --> 01:39:11.439
John and Margo's anniversary. They honored Margo, and I'm not
2085
01:39:11.449 --> 01:39:14.359
saying this to patronize the boss, but Margo was so funny.
2086
01:39:15.159 --> 01:39:17.779
I gotta tell you. And she was into it, man.
2087
01:39:17.800 --> 01:39:23.060
And she was confident and She literally played the crowd
2088
01:39:23.359 --> 01:39:26.229
like a comedian. She was great. And the whole night
2089
01:39:26.270 --> 01:39:28.970
was great. It was doubly great for me because I
2090
01:39:29.329 --> 01:39:31.510
had a great table with Dominic and his wife and
2091
01:39:31.569 --> 01:39:33.930
Jake and Suzanne. I had a chance to see John
2092
01:39:33.970 --> 01:39:37.090
Margo and the kids. But the big one for me, John,
2093
01:39:37.109 --> 01:39:42.140
that was really cool, Bernadette Castro. Her and me on Imus,
2094
01:39:42.579 --> 01:39:46.239
we went at each other every week for years. Really?
2095
01:39:46.539 --> 01:39:48.180
I haven't talked to her in 20 years.
2096
01:39:48.460 --> 01:39:49.819
She is a wonderful lady.
2097
01:39:49.859 --> 01:39:50.420
Great lady.
2098
01:39:50.500 --> 01:39:55.000
I still think of Bernadette as pulling out that Castro convertible.
2099
01:39:55.020 --> 01:39:57.689
Yes, that. And then she became the, she ran the
2100
01:39:57.729 --> 01:39:58.560
parks department.
2101
01:39:58.560 --> 01:40:01.670
12 years she ran the parks department. Let me tell
2102
01:40:01.689 --> 01:40:05.550
you something. George Pataki, Governor Pataki, was a great governor
2103
01:40:05.590 --> 01:40:06.590
for 12 years.
2104
01:40:06.609 --> 01:40:08.270
Great seeing you too and his wife.
2105
01:40:08.770 --> 01:40:09.569
He was there with.
2106
01:40:11.020 --> 01:40:16.829
Uh, uh, his wife, uh, Libby, uh, Libby, uh, last year, this,
2107
01:40:17.069 --> 01:40:19.050
how are we getting to this? You know, cause we
2108
01:40:19.069 --> 01:40:22.449
had the big gala with 700 people a couple of
2109
01:40:22.470 --> 01:40:22.970
weeks ago.
2110
01:40:23.010 --> 01:40:23.210
Right.
2111
01:40:23.909 --> 01:40:28.390
And we finished the gala. We already tapped into 700
2112
01:40:28.390 --> 01:40:31.720
of our friends or whatever. And, and all of a
2113
01:40:31.779 --> 01:40:35.319
sudden we say, Oh crap, we got another dinner to do.
2114
01:40:36.239 --> 01:40:36.739
That's true.
2115
01:40:36.760 --> 01:40:40.340
By the way, this dinner at the Pierre on, on
2116
01:40:40.460 --> 01:40:43.579
Friday night. Thank you for being here.
2117
01:40:43.619 --> 01:40:44.819
Oh, we loved it. With Danielle.
2118
01:40:44.960 --> 01:40:49.689
Thank you. And it was a last-minute thing. We started
2119
01:40:49.789 --> 01:40:53.109
inviting people last Sunday or something. Oh, really? Yeah, I mean,
2120
01:40:53.130 --> 01:40:55.369
it was just like you blink your eyes and say.
2121
01:40:55.470 --> 01:40:56.789
Oh, crap. Here we go again.
2122
01:40:56.869 --> 01:41:04.279
We got another dinner. And originally, it's Libby Pataki's church
2123
01:41:05.119 --> 01:41:10.909
in Libby Pataki's has always supported the Franciscans. The Franciscans,
2124
01:41:11.090 --> 01:41:15.170
they help the poor, they help the needy, they help
2125
01:41:16.170 --> 01:41:21.409
the people that are down on their luck and help
2126
01:41:21.470 --> 01:41:24.689
pick them up. It's a very worthy, worthy cause.
2127
01:41:24.720 --> 01:41:26.319
Oh, the beautiful people. I had a chance to talk
2128
01:41:26.340 --> 01:41:27.680
to one of the big guys. It was great.
2129
01:41:27.840 --> 01:41:30.479
I said, oh crap, we got to fill the room.
2130
01:41:31.119 --> 01:41:32.380
So you know what we did?
2131
01:41:32.659 --> 01:41:33.020
Oh, what?
2132
01:41:33.239 --> 01:41:36.789
October 2nd, there was a dinner. October 2nd was also
2133
01:41:36.850 --> 01:41:37.710
my anniversary.
2134
01:41:37.869 --> 01:41:38.090
Right.
2135
01:41:38.550 --> 01:41:42.289
So I invited all our friends. And guess what?
2136
01:41:42.329 --> 01:41:43.760
You filled the room. We filled the room. Yeah, there
2137
01:41:43.800 --> 01:41:44.779
wasn't one empty seat.
2138
01:41:45.539 --> 01:41:49.520
Not one empty seat. And Margo did a great job.
2139
01:41:49.539 --> 01:41:50.319
Really great.
2140
01:41:50.579 --> 01:41:52.680
And you know what I did? You notice what I did?
2141
01:41:52.960 --> 01:41:56.310
I was three feet away. I was there to help
2142
01:41:56.329 --> 01:41:59.229
if she needed help. Yeah. But I wanted her to shine.
2143
01:41:59.729 --> 01:42:02.369
And you know what she did? She followed what I do.
2144
01:42:02.770 --> 01:42:05.840
I never read. I never read a speech.
2145
01:42:06.060 --> 01:42:06.279
Never.
2146
01:42:06.800 --> 01:42:10.039
And she just got up there and just ad-libbed.
2147
01:42:10.060 --> 01:42:10.399
Yeah.
2148
01:42:10.920 --> 01:42:12.859
Ad-libbed what she felt.
2149
01:42:12.979 --> 01:42:14.770
She had a speech in front of her, but she's like,
2150
01:42:14.789 --> 01:42:16.689
I'm not going to do this. By the way, I
2151
01:42:17.069 --> 01:42:17.270
do that.
2152
01:42:17.289 --> 01:42:18.300
That's the best way to do it.
2153
01:42:18.350 --> 01:42:21.369
I do that. Trump does that. Yeah. No teleprompters.
2154
01:42:21.390 --> 01:42:22.470
He makes it up as it goes.
2155
01:42:22.750 --> 01:42:23.149
Right.
2156
01:42:23.430 --> 01:42:23.630
Yeah.
2157
01:42:23.710 --> 01:42:27.819
I mean, I do that too. And I hate when
2158
01:42:27.920 --> 01:42:29.460
people read speeches.
2159
01:42:29.500 --> 01:42:29.819
Terrible.
2160
01:42:30.640 --> 01:42:31.500
I fall asleep.
2161
01:42:31.560 --> 01:42:31.920
Terrible.
2162
01:42:32.060 --> 01:42:32.930
Yeah, we fall asleep.
2163
01:42:32.939 --> 01:42:35.029
She was, I'm telling you, she was really great. And
2164
01:42:35.050 --> 01:42:37.989
you were very cute standing there giving her the attention.
2165
01:42:37.989 --> 01:42:38.409
38 years.
2166
01:42:38.489 --> 01:42:40.550
I couldn't believe it. It was like, you blink your
2167
01:42:40.689 --> 01:42:42.159
eyes and 38 years goes by.
2168
01:42:42.180 --> 01:42:44.359
Is that what you want, 38? That was her anniversary.
2169
01:42:46.560 --> 01:42:48.800
By the way, we're not far behind you. We're going
2170
01:42:48.859 --> 01:42:49.890
to be 35 in June.
2171
01:42:50.270 --> 01:42:51.270
Wow.
2172
01:42:51.270 --> 01:42:51.710
35 in June.
2173
01:42:51.770 --> 01:42:51.970
Wow.
2174
01:42:51.989 --> 01:42:52.850
We're right behind you.
2175
01:42:53.329 --> 01:42:56.289
So, you know, you and Danielle look great, by the way.
2176
01:42:56.329 --> 01:42:56.630
Thank you.
2177
01:42:57.050 --> 01:42:58.010
On Friday night.
2178
01:42:58.109 --> 01:42:59.329
We loved it. We had a great time.
2179
01:43:00.069 --> 01:43:03.010
But, you know, you were at the game last week
2180
01:43:03.029 --> 01:43:03.770
with the Yankees.
2181
01:43:03.909 --> 01:43:04.949
You were there the next night.
2182
01:43:04.970 --> 01:43:09.850
We were there the next night. I know. And I'm
2183
01:43:09.880 --> 01:43:15.079
supposed to be in West Virginia on Wednesday. But guess what?
2184
01:43:16.260 --> 01:43:17.699
The heck with West Virginia.
2185
01:43:17.729 --> 01:43:18.149
Yankees.
2186
01:43:18.289 --> 01:43:19.369
I'm going to Yankee game.
2187
01:43:19.409 --> 01:43:20.050
There you go.
2188
01:43:20.250 --> 01:43:21.050
I'm going to Yankee game.
2189
01:43:21.069 --> 01:43:21.890
Randy loves you.
2190
01:43:21.909 --> 01:43:25.300
Because I guess we lost 1-0.
2191
01:43:25.289 --> 01:43:25.609
1-0.
2192
01:43:25.630 --> 01:43:31.699
How could we lose 1-0? Our offense is inconsistent. So
2193
01:43:31.739 --> 01:43:32.699
tonight's a big game.
2194
01:43:32.840 --> 01:43:33.539
Tonight's a big game.
2195
01:43:33.579 --> 01:43:35.300
But we got the great Cam Schlittler on the mound.
2196
01:43:35.319 --> 01:43:38.270
That's good news, John. Maybe we'll win 1-0 tonight. And
2197
01:43:38.310 --> 01:43:40.609
then Wednesday, that'll be a huge effort in the Bronx.
2198
01:43:40.630 --> 01:43:42.970
That'll be a big, big night. So I know that
2199
01:43:43.270 --> 01:43:45.829
Michael Cohen, who's on every Sunday, he's on your show
2200
01:43:45.869 --> 01:43:47.590
quite a bit, maybe every day now at 5 o'clock.
2201
01:43:48.130 --> 01:43:51.199
He had a meeting, and I know that you actually
2202
01:43:51.239 --> 01:43:54.140
reached out to President Trump early this morning. We are
2203
01:43:54.180 --> 01:43:57.520
now 29 days away from the midterms. I know you
2204
01:43:57.539 --> 01:43:58.479
had a message for the president.
2205
01:43:58.500 --> 01:44:03.029
Well, we went down. You know, we worked late on
2206
01:44:03.109 --> 01:44:03.609
Friday night.
2207
01:44:03.649 --> 01:44:03.949
How long?
2208
01:44:03.970 --> 01:44:07.750
About 14 hours? Oh, yeah. From morning, I was on
2209
01:44:07.850 --> 01:44:11.409
Fox Friday morning at 7 o'clock in the morning.
2210
01:44:11.449 --> 01:44:11.649
Right.
2211
01:44:11.850 --> 01:44:13.359
And I came in, waved at you.
2212
01:44:13.439 --> 01:44:13.659
Right.
2213
01:44:14.020 --> 01:44:18.979
And the party went on until 10.30 or 10 o'clock
2214
01:44:19.000 --> 01:44:23.039
or something. Went out late. And then Saturday morning, I
2215
01:44:23.079 --> 01:44:23.699
had to go to Washington.
2216
01:44:24.920 --> 01:44:26.060
It's a long couple of days.
2217
01:44:26.479 --> 01:44:29.359
You know, the best way to go to Russia is Amtrak.
2218
01:44:29.380 --> 01:44:30.090
That's how we do it.
2219
01:44:30.100 --> 01:44:30.319
Yeah.
2220
01:44:30.359 --> 01:44:35.220
You know why you go from downtown to downtown and, uh, uh,
2221
01:44:35.270 --> 01:44:38.149
me and Michael Cohen went down and, uh, we had
2222
01:44:38.250 --> 01:44:40.789
a small meeting with the, uh, with the president just
2223
01:44:40.829 --> 01:44:44.409
before he took off for Ohio. And basically I told
2224
01:44:44.470 --> 01:44:48.689
him what we're doing. Uh, uh, WABC is fully committed to, to,
2225
01:44:49.229 --> 01:44:55.500
to having common sense, common sense in, uh, for November 3rd.
2226
01:44:56.180 --> 01:44:58.380
Because if we don't have common sense on November 3rd,
2227
01:44:58.420 --> 01:44:59.939
our country is not going to be in good shape.
2228
01:44:59.979 --> 01:45:00.439
Bad shape.
2229
01:45:00.739 --> 01:45:04.659
Bottom line. Me and Michael are probably going to do
2230
01:45:04.689 --> 01:45:09.029
an additional show in the evening sometime. We're trying to
2231
01:45:09.069 --> 01:45:13.729
figure it out right now. It's going to call a countdown. Cats,
2232
01:45:13.890 --> 01:45:19.850
countdown to, I guess, the election. To the midterms. Countdown
2233
01:45:19.890 --> 01:45:22.470
to midterms because the American people have to know what
2234
01:45:22.510 --> 01:45:24.909
is at stake. So I think it's going to be me, Michael,
2235
01:45:25.670 --> 01:45:27.329
and Jake Novak.
2236
01:45:27.470 --> 01:45:28.430
Oh, good.
2237
01:45:28.609 --> 01:45:32.210
And just do everything that's going on with the elections
2238
01:45:32.329 --> 01:45:33.329
and talk about it.
2239
01:45:33.350 --> 01:45:35.069
What do you think? I know you say common sense,
2240
01:45:35.109 --> 01:45:37.050
but what does your gut tell you? What do you
2241
01:45:37.090 --> 01:45:39.189
think we need to do to ensure Republican victories?
2242
01:45:39.369 --> 01:45:46.649
I think that people have to realize that President Trump
2243
01:45:46.689 --> 01:45:53.189
has made America almost drug-free. And You know, I said
2244
01:45:53.210 --> 01:45:55.170
to him, what is it going to take to make
2245
01:45:55.750 --> 01:46:04.079
America drug-free completely? And it's important. Why should our kids
2246
01:46:04.119 --> 01:46:09.079
be dying from these drugs? And you know something? Foreigners
2247
01:46:09.279 --> 01:46:15.359
are feeding it. They're not manufactured in America. It's all
2248
01:46:15.439 --> 01:46:19.300
being sent to America. And I would say if I
2249
01:46:19.340 --> 01:46:22.869
had a dream, My dream would be make America drug-free.
2250
01:46:23.029 --> 01:46:23.489
Oh, me too.
2251
01:46:23.550 --> 01:46:27.770
It would be great. But everybody has to realize that
2252
01:46:28.310 --> 01:46:32.329
America is under attack in so many directions, Sid. So
2253
01:46:32.369 --> 01:46:39.020
many directions. We're under attack. The Europeans want a weaker Trump,
2254
01:46:40.140 --> 01:46:47.000
which is stupid because the fact is that if they
2255
01:46:47.039 --> 01:46:50.920
could freeze Trump, They'll screw us more on those tariffs
2256
01:46:51.380 --> 01:46:55.420
and whatever. And Trump is a businessman. All he wants
2257
01:46:55.960 --> 01:47:00.680
is even Steven. That's all he wants. We don't want
2258
01:47:00.699 --> 01:47:05.100
to take advantage of any of our trading partners. None
2259
01:47:05.149 --> 01:47:07.949
of them. But we don't want them taking advantage of us.
2260
01:47:08.550 --> 01:47:16.350
You know, Bill Clinton and Newt Gingrich got the deficit
2261
01:47:16.510 --> 01:47:17.149
down from $ 5.
2262
01:47:16.909 --> 01:47:17.329
5 trillion.
2263
01:47:18.609 --> 01:47:22.770
Down to five trillion. Well, after that, we never saw
2264
01:47:22.850 --> 01:47:31.279
five trillion again. I mean, it's $ 40 trillion. You know
2265
01:47:31.319 --> 01:47:34.960
where that money went? All the American people know where
2266
01:47:34.979 --> 01:47:38.640
it went. It went to foreign aid. It went to
2267
01:47:40.279 --> 01:47:47.760
protecting NATO, protecting the European community, protecting Japan, protecting Australia.
2268
01:47:48.180 --> 01:47:52.920
protecting all these people, and they weren't putting up their
2269
01:47:52.979 --> 01:47:57.220
own money. So we were protecting the world, and the
2270
01:47:57.340 --> 01:48:01.529
deficit went from $ 5 trillion to $ 40 trillion. We were
2271
01:48:01.890 --> 01:48:06.329
giving them too much leeway on those tariffs because if
2272
01:48:06.470 --> 01:48:08.810
a Chevrolet was $ 50, 000 and we sent it to Germany,
2273
01:48:14.899 --> 01:48:17.899
they charge a hundred thousand for the 50 000 against
2274
01:48:17.979 --> 01:48:22.100
us right and we weren't charging they send mercedes uh
2275
01:48:22.180 --> 01:48:25.739
and bmws to america we weren't charging those kind of
2276
01:48:25.779 --> 01:48:29.399
premiums you know who was making the money the germans
2277
01:48:29.460 --> 01:48:31.359
yep of course you know who was making the money
2278
01:48:31.430 --> 01:48:34.390
when france was sending all that stuff over to champagne
2279
01:48:34.470 --> 01:48:36.859
the french the french yeah look Canada, too.
2280
01:48:37.079 --> 01:48:37.260
Yeah.
2281
01:48:37.720 --> 01:48:39.819
All that Trump wants. He's a businessman.
2282
01:48:40.229 --> 01:48:43.989
All he wants is even Stephen. I think if you're
2283
01:48:44.010 --> 01:48:45.329
an American, you'd like that, wouldn't you?
2284
01:48:45.350 --> 01:48:45.770
That's all I want.
2285
01:48:45.789 --> 01:48:47.550
Wouldn't you like that? That's all I want.
2286
01:48:47.810 --> 01:48:50.069
We don't want to take advantage of anybody, but we
2287
01:48:50.109 --> 01:48:52.890
don't want anybody taking advantage of us. If we're going
2288
01:48:52.930 --> 01:48:56.470
to protect you, well, pitching your fair share.
2289
01:48:56.930 --> 01:48:57.130
That's it.
2290
01:48:57.130 --> 01:48:58.529
Pitching your fair share to protect.
2291
01:48:58.550 --> 01:48:59.609
That's it. Right.
2292
01:48:59.689 --> 01:49:01.850
And the one thing that we discussed with the president
2293
01:49:01.909 --> 01:49:07.319
about Iran, there's no way. There's no way. You know,
2294
01:49:07.340 --> 01:49:09.819
we're coming. October 7th is the third year anniversary.
2295
01:49:10.079 --> 01:49:10.680
This Wednesday.
2296
01:49:10.939 --> 01:49:13.359
We can't. And we got to do something special. I'm
2297
01:49:13.420 --> 01:49:14.890
sure you're going to do something special.
2298
01:49:14.899 --> 01:49:17.170
Right now, it looks like I may have. I may have.
2299
01:49:17.189 --> 01:49:20.930
And you know me. I don't stop. Bibi and President Herzog,
2300
01:49:21.010 --> 01:49:21.750
both on Wednesday.
2301
01:49:21.770 --> 01:49:25.029
Well, you know something? It's a special day for them.
2302
01:49:25.489 --> 01:49:27.189
And they've got a big election coming up at the
2303
01:49:27.250 --> 01:49:33.079
end of October. But, you know, we have never forget.
2304
01:49:33.859 --> 01:49:34.100
Well.
2305
01:49:35.260 --> 01:49:39.100
The one thing we decided at WABC, along with Tunnels
2306
01:49:39.119 --> 01:49:44.979
to Tower, along with Police Athletic League, and along with
2307
01:49:45.000 --> 01:49:50.430
the Pataki Foundation, on 9-11, we will, every year, no
2308
01:49:50.470 --> 01:49:53.050
matter what day it falls on, we're going to have
2309
01:49:53.109 --> 01:49:57.229
a big event on 9-11. Never forget what they did
2310
01:49:57.270 --> 01:49:58.289
to us on 9-11.
2311
01:49:58.449 --> 01:50:00.609
Love it. That's the gala every year now, 9-11. Every year.
2312
01:50:00.750 --> 01:50:01.329
I love that.
2313
01:50:01.350 --> 01:50:01.409
9-11.
2314
01:50:01.409 --> 01:50:02.729
No matter what day it is.
2315
01:50:02.829 --> 01:50:03.989
Final 60 seconds.
2316
01:50:04.050 --> 01:50:04.289
Yeah.
2317
01:50:05.069 --> 01:50:06.989
And again, not to patronize you, I don't do that.
2318
01:50:07.560 --> 01:50:09.640
But when you do something great, I give you credit.
2319
01:50:10.119 --> 01:50:12.239
And I thought that you and Margo on this station
2320
01:50:12.659 --> 01:50:17.500
really did an unbelievable job when my partner and your
2321
01:50:17.539 --> 01:50:21.149
friend and my friend passed away four years ago today.
2322
01:50:21.159 --> 01:50:22.289
Does it feel like that to you, John?
2323
01:50:22.449 --> 01:50:27.069
It does. It feels like yesterday. Right. I was so sad.
2324
01:50:27.090 --> 01:50:31.090
I don't think, you know, it doesn't happen every day.
2325
01:50:31.149 --> 01:50:35.430
We took St. Patrick's Cathedral yesterday. And I don't know, 5,000 seats, 4,000 seats.
2326
01:50:35.529 --> 01:50:38.810
I don't know how many it has. There wasn't a
2327
01:50:39.010 --> 01:50:47.680
seat left in the house. That's right. And we gave
2328
01:50:47.779 --> 01:50:53.260
Bernie the fear of going away. And the one thing,
2329
01:50:53.579 --> 01:50:56.840
like me and you talked, Bernie didn't have to die.
2330
01:50:57.020 --> 01:50:57.159
No.
2331
01:50:57.939 --> 01:51:03.960
I did a special doctor's thing from Yale University on–
2332
01:51:05.340 --> 01:51:08.060
on prostate cancer, I'm going to send it to you
2333
01:51:08.880 --> 01:51:11.380
because nobody has to die from prostate cancer.
2334
01:51:11.399 --> 01:51:13.880
Oh, wait, the other day you had Ed Randall on. Yes.
2335
01:51:13.979 --> 01:51:15.020
And didn't he talk about Bernie?
2336
01:51:15.140 --> 01:51:18.029
Yes, we talked about Bernie. I'll send you a copy
2337
01:51:18.050 --> 01:51:18.729
of the audio.
2338
01:51:18.750 --> 01:51:19.529
Yes, I heard it.
2339
01:51:19.970 --> 01:51:20.210
Yes.
2340
01:51:20.829 --> 01:51:29.420
And he didn't have to die. And it's curable. It's curable. 99%, 95%.
2341
01:51:29.420 --> 01:51:31.909
Yeah, they do. They survive. I know it's terrible. He
2342
01:51:31.930 --> 01:51:32.890
had to die.
2343
01:51:32.909 --> 01:51:34.529
Thank you for all the great work you do. The
2344
01:51:34.590 --> 01:51:36.520
president loves you.
2345
01:51:36.960 --> 01:51:37.170
You too.
2346
01:51:37.180 --> 01:51:42.210
The president really, really loves you. He loves WABC.
2347
01:51:42.270 --> 01:51:44.529
He does. It's his favorite station by far.
2348
01:51:44.689 --> 01:51:44.810
Yes.
2349
01:51:44.829 --> 01:51:45.130
By far.
2350
01:51:45.149 --> 01:51:45.449
Absolutely.
2351
01:51:45.470 --> 01:51:46.210
It's not even close.
2352
01:51:46.409 --> 01:51:46.850
Absolutely.
2353
01:51:46.869 --> 01:51:48.909
He's very close with you and me and Michael and
2354
01:51:48.949 --> 01:51:49.710
Greg and all of us.
2355
01:51:49.869 --> 01:51:52.310
I mean, almost every person.
2356
01:51:52.329 --> 01:51:53.090
The whole station.
2357
01:51:53.149 --> 01:51:53.489
I know.
2358
01:51:53.529 --> 01:51:54.069
Roger, too.
2359
01:51:54.090 --> 01:51:54.569
That's right.
2360
01:51:54.689 --> 01:51:56.449
Is there anybody he's not close to?
2361
01:51:56.640 --> 01:51:59.699
Not really. No. Rita, too. Rita's in the Oval Office.
2362
01:51:59.489 --> 01:51:59.899
Quite a bit.
2363
01:51:59.939 --> 01:52:00.420
Rita, absolutely.
2364
01:52:00.460 --> 01:52:00.600
Yeah.
2365
01:52:01.300 --> 01:52:06.880
And we got to make sure America stays America. And
2366
01:52:07.420 --> 01:52:12.189
they don't... We want immigration. We don't want migrants coming
2367
01:52:12.289 --> 01:52:15.600
in that want to change America. They want to change America.
2368
01:52:15.840 --> 01:52:16.640
Go someplace else.
2369
01:52:16.659 --> 01:52:19.840
That's it. Immigration, like you say, not invasion. And once again,
2370
01:52:19.859 --> 01:52:21.720
happy anniversary to you and your beautiful wife. You guys
2371
01:52:21.739 --> 01:52:22.619
are great. Thank you, John.
2372
01:52:22.680 --> 01:52:23.920
Keep fighting for America.
2373
01:52:24.000 --> 01:52:26.920
You too. That's my man, John Katzmatidis. Does not one,
2374
01:52:26.960 --> 01:52:30.319
but two great shows here at WABC. 5 p.m. every
2375
01:52:30.340 --> 01:52:33.539
weekday afternoon alongside Rita Cosby. It is the Katz and
2376
01:52:33.579 --> 01:52:37.159
Cosby Show. And, of course, his masterpiece, 8 a.m. every
2377
01:52:37.199 --> 01:52:40.460
Sunday morning. The Catch Roundtable, my friend John Katzmatidis.
2378
01:52:41.270 --> 01:52:43.140
Sid and Friends.
2379
01:52:43.010 --> 01:52:45.890
In the Morning on the Red Apple Podcast Network.
2380
01:52:47.029 --> 01:52:51.229
Let's talk to David Carr, the great city councilman out
2381
01:52:51.250 --> 01:52:54.510
of Staten Island. One of the two there with Frank Marano. David,
2382
01:52:54.529 --> 01:52:55.670
good morning, buddy. How are you?
2383
01:52:56.510 --> 01:52:57.130
Good morning, Sid.
2384
01:52:57.170 --> 01:52:57.510
I'm great.
2385
01:52:57.550 --> 01:52:58.010
How are you?
2386
01:52:58.229 --> 01:53:00.750
I'm great. Are you on your way to, what time
2387
01:53:00.810 --> 01:53:02.409
is this meeting, this AI meeting?
2388
01:53:03.279 --> 01:53:04.260
It's going to start at 11 a.m.
2389
01:53:04.500 --> 01:53:04.760
Today.
2390
01:53:04.800 --> 01:53:06.680
I'll be on my way as soon as you and
2391
01:53:06.739 --> 01:53:08.399
I finish chatting about it.
2392
01:53:08.479 --> 01:53:13.420
Okay, great. So as far as I know, everybody, all
2393
01:53:13.420 --> 01:53:18.119
51 members from the council, they're going to be there today, yes? Yes.
2394
01:53:18.140 --> 01:53:20.180
So this is a meeting of the committee of the whole.
2395
01:53:20.300 --> 01:53:24.060
Basically, the entire body sits as a committee to hear,
2396
01:53:24.739 --> 01:53:27.039
do oversight and hear testimony.
2397
01:53:26.560 --> 01:53:28.420
About potential legislation.
2398
01:53:28.840 --> 01:53:31.859
This only happens when there's really important matters happening.
2399
01:53:32.479 --> 01:53:32.880
Review.
2400
01:53:33.060 --> 01:53:35.100
And the last time the council did this was at.
2401
01:53:35.079 --> 01:53:35.760
The end of 2022.
2402
01:53:35.760 --> 01:53:38.319
And we had a committee.
2403
01:53:38.039 --> 01:53:39.779
Of the whole on the migrant crisis.
2404
01:53:41.159 --> 01:53:42.960
I have a lot higher hopes for this meeting than
2405
01:53:43.000 --> 01:53:44.729
I did for that one, because most of my colleagues
2406
01:53:44.739 --> 01:53:47.229
spent time trying to see what more the city should
2407
01:53:47.270 --> 01:53:50.729
be doing for the migrants. So that was a missed
2408
01:53:50.789 --> 01:53:53.430
opportunity for sure. But I think today, you know, I
2409
01:53:53.470 --> 01:53:55.970
think this is the issue of the moment. So I
2410
01:53:56.010 --> 01:53:58.010
think it's really timely that we're doing it.
2411
01:53:58.760 --> 01:54:02.100
And there are really two sides to this, like everything else, obviously.
2412
01:54:02.600 --> 01:54:06.069
One is the Trump side. I'm on Trump's side, which is, okay,
2413
01:54:06.510 --> 01:54:08.350
we've got to beat China. We need to be number
2414
01:54:08.430 --> 01:54:11.489
one in AI. That's it, all right? Take it easy
2415
01:54:11.770 --> 01:54:14.250
with the guardrails and the bots are taking over the
2416
01:54:14.310 --> 01:54:17.449
world and all the safety issues. Then there's the other side,
2417
01:54:17.489 --> 01:54:20.069
which I just mentioned, with some of these bigwigs that
2418
01:54:20.100 --> 01:54:23.199
these AI giants are the first to say, you know,
2419
01:54:23.260 --> 01:54:26.159
it's dangerous. We need guardrails. We can't just get too
2420
01:54:26.199 --> 01:54:29.170
carried away with this stuff. Where does David Carr fall
2421
01:54:29.250 --> 01:54:32.300
on this, and where do you think the city council
2422
01:54:32.640 --> 01:54:33.300
falls on this?
2423
01:54:34.720 --> 01:54:37.140
So, you know, I agree with the president when he
2424
01:54:37.220 --> 01:54:40.140
said the most important thing is self-regulation, right? And I
2425
01:54:40.159 --> 01:54:44.659
think that's true in any industry, and no field of
2426
01:54:44.739 --> 01:54:47.939
endeavor can succeed unless you have, you know, corporate entities
2427
01:54:47.960 --> 01:54:51.960
who are acting responsibly in these areas. But I think
2428
01:54:52.140 --> 01:54:55.760
also this is an important moment where AI companies can
2429
01:54:55.800 --> 01:54:59.670
be on the ground floor of whatever approach the city
2430
01:54:59.890 --> 01:55:02.149
or other parts of our government are going to take
2431
01:55:02.189 --> 01:55:05.289
moving forward. I think what we've seen in the past
2432
01:55:05.350 --> 01:55:09.720
is when you have new fields of endeavor, they build
2433
01:55:09.770 --> 01:55:13.340
up all this architecture in an environment with no regulations,
2434
01:55:13.760 --> 01:55:16.640
and then government comes barreling in later on down the line.
2435
01:55:17.239 --> 01:55:19.779
and it causes significant disruption to their costs. I mean,
2436
01:55:19.810 --> 01:55:23.949
you're even seeing now with OpenAI cooperating with the investigation
2437
01:55:24.029 --> 01:55:26.489
into recent data breaches, it's costing them half a million
2438
01:55:26.510 --> 01:55:30.939
a day to cooperate with DOJ. So I think that
2439
01:55:30.979 --> 01:55:33.840
they have a financial stake, and the president's right. This
2440
01:55:33.899 --> 01:55:38.380
is an incredibly powerful and valuable tool, and I think
2441
01:55:38.420 --> 01:55:40.989
we need to protect it. So I'm coming into this
2442
01:55:41.029 --> 01:55:42.789
hearing with an open mind. I want to hear what
2443
01:55:42.810 --> 01:55:45.420
these companies have to say. I want to hear what
2444
01:55:45.460 --> 01:55:47.199
others have to say about it. And then I think,
2445
01:55:47.220 --> 01:55:50.260
you know, we have to figure out our approach because
2446
01:55:50.300 --> 01:55:53.989
this is a technology that's fast growing, fast evolving. It's
2447
01:55:54.510 --> 01:55:57.250
part of so much of our lives professionally and personally already.
2448
01:55:57.270 --> 01:55:59.890
And I think that there's a lot of opportunities ahead.
2449
01:56:00.720 --> 01:56:03.539
I think most people are confused. They know about AI.
2450
01:56:03.579 --> 01:56:07.100
You Google stuff now, for example, and AI pops up, right?
2451
01:56:07.720 --> 01:56:10.210
And they know about it in schools. They know about
2452
01:56:10.250 --> 01:56:14.170
it in courts. They know about it. in all your businesses,
2453
01:56:14.270 --> 01:56:17.449
but most people don't know the nitty-gritty. They just know
2454
01:56:17.489 --> 01:56:19.439
that there's a battle going on right now, and there
2455
01:56:19.449 --> 01:56:22.220
are meetings being held everywhere about it, from the White
2456
01:56:22.260 --> 01:56:25.779
House just about 10 days ago to you guys today.
2457
01:56:26.199 --> 01:56:29.899
So what do you want to accomplish when this meeting
2458
01:56:29.960 --> 01:56:34.119
is over today? What does the city council look to do,
2459
01:56:34.319 --> 01:56:35.970
David Carr, in the near future?
2460
01:56:37.000 --> 01:56:39.100
So I think some of the things you see on
2461
01:56:39.119 --> 01:56:42.279
the agenda of the council today, you know, you have,
2462
01:56:42.310 --> 01:56:44.649
you know, my colleague, you mentioned Frank Morano earlier. He
2463
01:56:44.689 --> 01:56:47.529
has a bill that's about, you know, protecting people in
2464
01:56:47.569 --> 01:56:48.210
terms of their.
2465
01:56:48.109 --> 01:56:48.569
Health, right?
2466
01:56:48.590 --> 01:56:51.210
A lot of people, even before AI, were going to
2467
01:56:51.229 --> 01:56:54.930
WebMD and doing some self-diagnosis. Now you have people talking
2468
01:56:54.949 --> 01:56:58.689
to chatbots, trying to figure out what they've got, what
2469
01:56:58.729 --> 01:57:01.789
they need to do health-wise before, or even an alternative
2470
01:57:01.810 --> 01:57:04.270
of seeking help from a doctor, right? So I think
2471
01:57:04.310 --> 01:57:07.289
that he's looking to protect people people from getting bad
2472
01:57:07.329 --> 01:57:11.779
information because AI sometimes gives very bad information. I do think,
2473
01:57:11.800 --> 01:57:13.840
you know, the speaker has a piece of legislation that
2474
01:57:13.859 --> 01:57:16.260
talks about whether we need a kill switch, a human
2475
01:57:16.300 --> 01:57:19.260
kill switch for these programs or not. I'm really interested
2476
01:57:19.300 --> 01:57:22.600
to hear from these companies whether they think these sorts
2477
01:57:22.760 --> 01:57:26.229
of safeguards, as you called them earlier, are necessary, and
2478
01:57:26.310 --> 01:57:27.029
if not, why not?
2479
01:57:27.189 --> 01:57:27.689
And I think so.
2480
01:57:27.729 --> 01:57:28.390
I think this is.
2481
01:57:28.369 --> 01:57:32.909
Really an important information gathering exercise And I look forward
2482
01:57:32.930 --> 01:57:34.880
to really hearing what everyone has to say.
2483
01:57:35.039 --> 01:57:37.680
No, I get it. But practically, what does it mean
2484
01:57:37.720 --> 01:57:40.390
for the city? In other words, you're not building data centers, okay?
2485
01:57:40.729 --> 01:57:43.029
So practically, what does it mean for the city?
2486
01:57:44.079 --> 01:57:47.140
So, I mean, I think practically the city engages in
2487
01:57:47.180 --> 01:57:50.520
a lot of contracting with private entities, many of which
2488
01:57:50.619 --> 01:57:53.270
may now be offering AI services as part of their suite.
2489
01:57:54.489 --> 01:57:56.329
And there's a lot of companies that may be using
2490
01:57:56.369 --> 01:57:58.869
it as a background thing when they already have a
2491
01:57:58.890 --> 01:58:00.970
city contract. So we have a little bit of an
2492
01:58:01.010 --> 01:58:04.510
approach there where we're trying to get to an understanding
2493
01:58:04.630 --> 01:58:07.390
of how this is going to affect cities contracting. Maybe
2494
01:58:07.430 --> 01:58:09.909
it actually helps us save money in the long term.
2495
01:58:10.159 --> 01:58:10.439
Term.
2496
01:58:11.279 --> 01:58:15.420
And the city council has pretty strong economic regulatory powers.
2497
01:58:15.460 --> 01:58:18.180
I think sometimes that's not for the best. that other
2498
01:58:18.199 --> 01:58:21.060
municipal legislative bodies don't have. So I think that the
2499
01:58:21.100 --> 01:58:24.159
council is looking for is like, what if anything are
2500
01:58:24.180 --> 01:58:26.770
we permitted to do here, particularly in light of the
2501
01:58:26.810 --> 01:58:29.239
fact that Congress hasn't done much, right? If Congress has
2502
01:58:29.279 --> 01:58:32.789
already passed some things, we're preempted usually from getting involved.
2503
01:58:32.829 --> 01:58:36.670
But in this case, because there's this absence of legislation,
2504
01:58:36.729 --> 01:58:40.590
of regulation coming out of DC, cities and states are
2505
01:58:40.609 --> 01:58:42.210
gonna look to see if they can fill that gap.
2506
01:58:42.250 --> 01:58:43.750
And I think that's also gonna be part of the
2507
01:58:43.770 --> 01:58:46.869
question today. What lawfully are we empowered to do?
2508
01:58:47.050 --> 01:58:49.329
And on the way out, David Carr, you really are terrific.
2509
01:58:49.350 --> 01:58:51.979
You know that. You're a great Staten Island City Council
2510
01:58:52.020 --> 01:58:54.979
member who will be the next Staten Island Borough President.
2511
01:58:55.079 --> 01:58:56.739
That's right. I said it, and I'll say it again.
2512
01:58:56.979 --> 01:59:00.369
He will be the next Staten Island Borough President. David,
2513
01:59:00.390 --> 01:59:03.409
you're welcome. Are you guys infighting about this with the
2514
01:59:03.449 --> 01:59:04.569
Democrats or not really?
2515
01:59:06.159 --> 01:59:07.840
I think that remains to be seen.
2516
01:59:07.859 --> 01:59:11.659
I think that there is an instinct to regulate, which, frankly,
2517
01:59:11.800 --> 01:59:15.899
I and my colleagues on the right never have. But
2518
01:59:15.920 --> 01:59:18.659
I think we're going to have to see whether the
2519
01:59:18.699 --> 01:59:20.989
approach today is one where folks have already made up
2520
01:59:21.029 --> 01:59:24.800
their mind and they want to go guns a-blazing into this,
2521
01:59:25.500 --> 01:59:30.750
or is it really a legitimate information-gathering exercise? You talked
2522
01:59:30.789 --> 01:59:32.609
about it earlier. There are some people that seem to
2523
01:59:32.649 --> 01:59:37.189
think AI is like Skynet from Terminator, that suddenly everything
2524
01:59:37.250 --> 01:59:41.189
is going to be a disaster. But I think it's
2525
01:59:41.229 --> 01:59:45.210
more about seeing the opportunities and making sure we don't
2526
01:59:45.510 --> 01:59:49.229
stymie them by trying to maybe get at some of
2527
01:59:49.270 --> 01:59:52.170
the things on the margins that have been problematic. But
2528
01:59:52.210 --> 01:59:55.250
I think it's important we acknowledge that AI, like everything else,
2529
01:59:55.350 --> 01:59:58.050
nothing's 100% a good thing. And I think maybe there
2530
01:59:58.069 --> 02:00:00.210
could be a precision way for us to get involved.
2531
02:00:00.630 --> 02:00:03.510
But I really think we have to be open-minded about this.
2532
02:00:03.590 --> 02:00:06.760
If we just have ideological blinders on going in, then
2533
02:00:06.800 --> 02:00:08.399
we're going to be doomed to make things worse.
2534
02:00:08.579 --> 02:00:10.619
Final 60 seconds. You guys need to hold a meeting
2535
02:00:10.680 --> 02:00:13.220
about this. My friend Deborah Lee was on social media
2536
02:00:13.239 --> 02:00:16.640
talking about this over the weekend. Mamdani, there's nothing to
2537
02:00:16.659 --> 02:00:22.640
do with the AI technology. Mamdani banning the NYPD from
2538
02:00:22.699 --> 02:00:29.069
responding to 311 calls about homeless encampments. So the consensus
2539
02:00:29.510 --> 02:00:32.930
among smart people is, is that this winter, we're going
2540
02:00:32.949 --> 02:00:35.449
to look more and more like Los Angeles. There'll be
2541
02:00:35.489 --> 02:00:39.130
homeless encampments all over the place. Are you guys at
2542
02:00:39.149 --> 02:00:42.550
the city council aware of him banning this? And are
2543
02:00:42.569 --> 02:00:43.909
you prepared to do something about it?
2544
02:00:45.300 --> 02:00:48.640
I definitely heard about it. It's absolutely the wrong decision.
2545
02:00:49.220 --> 02:00:51.180
The reality is, is that when you're dealing with the
2546
02:00:51.220 --> 02:00:54.520
homeless in the city or really anywhere, there needs to
2547
02:00:54.579 --> 02:00:56.600
be a public safety component to the approach.
2548
02:00:57.229 --> 02:00:58.689
Yes, there are some people that need help.
2549
02:00:58.720 --> 02:01:00.220
They need to get into a shelter. They need to
2550
02:01:00.260 --> 02:01:03.640
get into programs. But you never know how folks are
2551
02:01:03.659 --> 02:01:06.560
going to react when a civilian employee of the city
2552
02:01:06.619 --> 02:01:09.859
or some agency approaches. And it might actually put them
2553
02:01:09.899 --> 02:01:12.239
in danger. You need to have officers on the scene.
2554
02:01:12.550 --> 02:01:15.970
They need to be leading the response. And the fact
2555
02:01:16.010 --> 02:01:18.550
that they're not allowed to respond to them anymore, you're
2556
02:01:18.550 --> 02:01:20.750
100 percent right. The 10 cities are only going to
2557
02:01:20.770 --> 02:01:23.329
go up faster and they're going to get larger. And
2558
02:01:23.670 --> 02:01:24.449
you mentioned the winter.
2559
02:01:25.550 --> 02:01:26.810
We could have more people.
2560
02:01:26.609 --> 02:01:29.569
Dying on the streets because of this policy. People are
2561
02:01:29.590 --> 02:01:32.289
going to freeze to death. Sometimes people need to be
2562
02:01:32.350 --> 02:01:34.449
told that they need to get inside. They need to
2563
02:01:34.510 --> 02:01:36.329
be told to get into a shelter. And if you're
2564
02:01:36.350 --> 02:01:38.569
not a police officer, you can't tell people to do that.
2565
02:01:39.060 --> 02:01:41.840
So I think that this is just a disaster in
2566
02:01:41.859 --> 02:01:45.039
the making, and it absolutely needs to be reversed and reconsidered.
2567
02:01:45.819 --> 02:01:48.359
You talk about people dying. He just had that last year.
2568
02:01:48.739 --> 02:01:52.250
That snowstorm. Like more than a dozen people, like 20-something
2569
02:01:52.289 --> 02:01:54.229
people died. You'd think he'd be sensitive to the fact
2570
02:01:54.329 --> 02:01:57.310
a moron, the mayor. I guess he doesn't care. David Carr,
2571
02:01:57.350 --> 02:02:00.149
as always, amazing job. Good luck in your meeting today,
2572
02:02:00.229 --> 02:02:02.800
and please keep coming back. You really are terrific. Thank
2573
02:02:02.819 --> 02:02:03.359
you so much.
2574
02:02:03.739 --> 02:02:04.300
Thank you, Sid.
2575
02:02:04.659 --> 02:02:06.939
Take care. David Carr right there, one of our five
2576
02:02:06.979 --> 02:02:10.520
Republican city council people, one of the two from Staten Island,
2577
02:02:10.539 --> 02:02:12.470
in fact, Mano being the other, and he is running
2578
02:02:12.770 --> 02:02:15.170
for borough president. Beat up what Sella's done after this.
2579
02:02:15.630 --> 02:02:19.390
David Carr, our next borough president in Staten Island. We'll
2580
02:02:19.409 --> 02:02:22.850
take a break. Still more to do. Sal Licata, WFAN host.
2581
02:02:22.869 --> 02:02:24.810
We'll talk about the Yankees and the Giants and all
2582
02:02:24.840 --> 02:02:27.319
that good stuff. I hand it off to Brian Kilmeade.
2583
02:02:28.119 --> 02:02:31.619
Sid and friends in the morning on the Red Apple
2584
02:02:31.760 --> 02:02:32.659
Podcast Network.
2585
02:02:33.859 --> 02:02:36.149
When I check my own calendar, if God is good
2586
02:02:36.159 --> 02:02:37.569
to me and I make it, you just don't know.
2587
02:02:38.569 --> 02:02:42.789
But assuming I make it April 19th, I'll be 60. 60?
2588
02:02:42.789 --> 02:02:47.470
I mean, 60 is not necessarily old. I feel old.
2589
02:02:47.989 --> 02:02:50.529
I'm sore. I'm tired all the time. All the time.
2590
02:02:50.550 --> 02:02:53.029
I was talking to Dominic Carter about that. I'm always
2591
02:02:53.069 --> 02:02:54.930
tired because I get up in the middle of the night.
2592
02:02:54.989 --> 02:02:56.270
We go to work in the dark, Lou and I.
2593
02:02:56.550 --> 02:02:59.369
But 60? First of all, let me just say this
2594
02:02:59.430 --> 02:03:00.750
at the risk of sounding like a dick. I don't
2595
02:03:00.770 --> 02:03:03.989
look 60. I look great. I really do. But I
2596
02:03:04.010 --> 02:03:08.619
feel it. And Steve Miller must be 83. Boss Gags
2597
02:03:08.680 --> 02:03:11.060
must be 82. And the rest of these crazy numbers.
2598
02:03:11.100 --> 02:03:13.939
Every time we celebrate a birthday on this show, from
2599
02:03:14.000 --> 02:03:17.949
some celebrity or rock star, they're in their 70s and 80s.
2600
02:03:18.500 --> 02:03:18.920
Every time.
2601
02:03:19.000 --> 02:03:19.340
That's it.
2602
02:03:19.739 --> 02:03:22.399
Because we don't celebrate, I guess, Miley Cyrus' birthday or
2603
02:03:23.390 --> 02:03:25.670
Justin Bieber. I don't even know who the famous people
2604
02:03:25.750 --> 02:03:28.850
are anymore. We're not going to celebrate Zach Bryan anymore
2605
02:03:28.890 --> 02:03:33.680
because he loves Palestine. That moron. And that's just Alex's favorite.
2606
02:03:33.699 --> 02:03:34.260
It was.
2607
02:03:34.520 --> 02:03:35.260
It's his fault, too.
2608
02:03:35.560 --> 02:03:37.579
It is your fault. Big problem. You really like that
2609
02:03:37.619 --> 02:03:40.079
guy that much? He was a Marine, too. Well, listen,
2610
02:03:40.140 --> 02:03:43.670
not every... Graham Plattner. Yeah, that's true. Was a serviceman, too.
2611
02:03:43.680 --> 02:03:46.439
That's true. Is there a bigger loser than Graham Plattner?
2612
02:03:46.479 --> 02:03:48.579
No, but this guy makes a living on writing songs
2613
02:03:48.659 --> 02:03:49.680
about his experience.
2614
02:03:50.859 --> 02:03:52.699
What's your favorite song of his? I don't even know
2615
02:03:52.720 --> 02:03:53.380
what his songs are.
2616
02:03:53.420 --> 02:03:53.720
I should.
2617
02:03:53.739 --> 02:03:57.359
I don't know. I get confused with him. He confuses
2618
02:03:57.399 --> 02:03:59.260
me with the guy that's on American Idol. What's that
2619
02:03:59.279 --> 02:03:59.619
guy's name?
2620
02:03:59.640 --> 02:03:59.760
Luke.
2621
02:04:00.079 --> 02:04:02.079
Luke Bryan. You got a Zach Bryan. You got a
2622
02:04:02.119 --> 02:04:06.029
Luke Bryan. A lot of Bryans. A lot of Bryans.
2623
02:04:06.149 --> 02:04:07.689
But I could have figured out he was trending this
2624
02:04:07.710 --> 02:04:09.390
direction when he came out with that song that he
2625
02:04:09.430 --> 02:04:10.109
does with Bruce.
2626
02:04:10.510 --> 02:04:11.829
You know, he collabed with Bruce.
2627
02:04:11.930 --> 02:04:13.659
Oh, Springsteen? Yeah, he's got to be close with him.
2628
02:04:13.670 --> 02:04:14.390
No wonder he's a douchebag.
2629
02:04:14.409 --> 02:04:15.050
Exactly.
2630
02:04:15.170 --> 02:04:16.810
So, you know, it was only a matter of time.
2631
02:04:16.890 --> 02:04:20.170
There was a big concert this weekend, Saturday night, and
2632
02:04:20.750 --> 02:04:24.020
my fans were tweeting me and Instagramming me and messaging me.
2633
02:04:24.800 --> 02:04:28.579
And it was the Dave Matthews Band. Nobody hates Israel
2634
02:04:28.600 --> 02:04:31.140
more than Dave Matthews. He's the worst of all the
2635
02:04:31.159 --> 02:04:34.380
free Palestine assholes. But Bruce was there, too, I think.
2636
02:04:34.439 --> 02:04:35.060
Is that right, Lewis?
2637
02:04:35.560 --> 02:04:35.800
Yes.
2638
02:04:36.180 --> 02:04:38.199
It was, what did I say it was called?
2639
02:04:38.239 --> 02:04:39.479
Power to the People, right?
2640
02:04:39.500 --> 02:04:41.920
My God. Power to the Idiots.
2641
02:04:42.340 --> 02:04:44.319
That's where I see Dave Matthews.
2642
02:04:44.659 --> 02:04:45.000
Bruce.
2643
02:04:45.380 --> 02:04:45.640
Oh, you?
2644
02:04:45.659 --> 02:04:47.439
You talked about Rage Against the Machine.
2645
02:04:47.590 --> 02:04:48.439
Yeah, Tom Morello.
2646
02:04:49.029 --> 02:04:51.489
That guy's a psycho and an idiot. Is he not?
2647
02:04:52.569 --> 02:04:54.470
He and Bruce are very close now.
2648
02:04:54.630 --> 02:04:54.789
Ew.
2649
02:04:55.310 --> 02:04:56.489
And he plays with the band.
2650
02:04:56.550 --> 02:04:56.619
Ew.
2651
02:04:56.630 --> 02:04:56.689
Ew.
2652
02:04:59.310 --> 02:05:02.689
I think I see Joan Baez in this picture.
2653
02:05:02.710 --> 02:05:04.789
It's possible. It's possible.
2654
02:05:04.810 --> 02:05:05.970
Man, I wonder how old she is.
2655
02:05:06.970 --> 02:05:09.329
She's probably about 75, maybe 80.
2656
02:05:09.329 --> 02:05:09.689
I don't know.
2657
02:05:10.840 --> 02:05:11.800
Where was this concert?
2658
02:05:11.899 --> 02:05:12.399
Oh, Maryland.
2659
02:05:12.420 --> 02:05:12.939
That's right.
2660
02:05:12.979 --> 02:05:13.560
Yeah, Columbia, Maryland.
2661
02:05:13.579 --> 02:05:16.140
All right, let me take a break because we've got
2662
02:05:16.180 --> 02:05:19.560
Yankee baseball tonight, a huge playoff game. Yankees don't want
2663
02:05:19.579 --> 02:05:23.090
to fall behind 2-0. 85. 85, okay. As we talked
2664
02:05:23.119 --> 02:05:26.109
about this morning, this series is a best of five,
2665
02:05:26.310 --> 02:05:29.189
not best of seven. So if the Yankees lose tonight,
2666
02:05:29.939 --> 02:05:32.979
they would have to win three straight games or they'd
2667
02:05:33.000 --> 02:05:37.140
be gone. So Cam Schlittler, who pitched a magnificent game
2668
02:05:37.159 --> 02:05:40.979
for the Yankees in their 9-0 walloping of the Red Sox,
2669
02:05:41.079 --> 02:05:43.319
game one of the wild card series, is back on
2670
02:05:43.350 --> 02:05:45.869
the mound for the Yankees tonight. We'll talk Yankees. We'll
2671
02:05:45.890 --> 02:05:49.289
talk Jets. We'll talk Giants. All the local stuff with
2672
02:05:49.710 --> 02:05:55.569
WFAN big-time talent Sal Licata also has his own podcast
2673
02:05:55.869 --> 02:05:58.130
making your second appearance on sit and friends in the
2674
02:05:58.170 --> 02:06:00.350
morning we talk new york sports.
2675
02:06:00.810 --> 02:06:04.329
Sid and friends in the morning on the red apple
2676
02:06:04.449 --> 02:06:07.590
podcast network reset and.
2677
02:06:07.689 --> 02:06:14.100
The cardinals break the huddle two receivers left two to
2678
02:06:14.119 --> 02:06:18.520
the right McBride comes in motion. Preset back.
2679
02:06:18.600 --> 02:06:21.220
Pumps. Intercepted by the Giants as he throws it left.
2680
02:06:21.460 --> 02:06:26.079
Deontay Banks across midfield. Down the right sideline. 40, 30, 20, 15, 10, 5.
2681
02:06:26.079 --> 02:06:27.340
Touchdown, Giants!
2682
02:06:36.779 --> 02:06:43.510
On a day in which the 86 Giants were honored,
2683
02:06:43.949 --> 02:06:48.390
it's the Giants defense of 2026.
2684
02:06:48.270 --> 02:06:51.140
That saves the day today. Giants are 3-1, Jets are 1-3.
2685
02:06:51.149 --> 02:06:53.930
Let's discuss all of it on a Yankee playoff day.
2686
02:06:54.409 --> 02:06:56.949
Talking about WFAN, one of their terrific hosts and a
2687
02:06:57.149 --> 02:07:00.189
kid that I've loved for a lot of years, Sal Licata. Sally,
2688
02:07:00.210 --> 02:07:01.329
good morning, buddy. How are you?
2689
02:07:01.850 --> 02:07:04.170
You do realize I got fired from WFAN, right?
2690
02:07:04.939 --> 02:07:06.569
Yeah, but don't you do like a Saturday show or
2691
02:07:06.590 --> 02:07:07.529
a Sunday show or something?
2692
02:07:08.250 --> 02:07:10.670
No. You think I'm doing weekends? Come on, man.
2693
02:07:10.689 --> 02:07:13.430
I thought you were doing something there. You're doing nothing?
2694
02:07:13.449 --> 02:07:16.050
I'm doing nothing there. I work at SNY.
2695
02:07:16.109 --> 02:07:17.909
I built my own business with Underscore Media.
2696
02:07:17.949 --> 02:07:19.409
I got my YouTube show, but I am no.
2697
02:07:19.350 --> 02:07:21.069
Longer with the fan. I got fired like you did.
2698
02:07:21.979 --> 02:07:24.819
Yeah, but I'm allowed to come back. Are you allowed?
2699
02:07:24.880 --> 02:07:26.460
Have you burnt every bridge there at this point?
2700
02:07:26.800 --> 02:07:29.319
No, no, no. You think I burnt bridges?
2701
02:07:29.930 --> 02:07:30.229
Come on.
2702
02:07:30.270 --> 02:07:31.909
If you didn't burn bridges, I certainly.
2703
02:07:31.630 --> 02:07:32.270
Didn't burn bridges.
2704
02:07:32.289 --> 02:07:32.710
No.
2705
02:07:32.729 --> 02:07:33.289
I can go back.
2706
02:07:33.329 --> 02:07:36.470
Chernoff brought me back a million times. I mean, a million.
2707
02:07:36.489 --> 02:07:38.350
Of course, he's not there these days. You've got to
2708
02:07:38.369 --> 02:07:41.180
deal with Chris Oliveira, my boy, but... I didn't realize that.
2709
02:07:41.220 --> 02:07:43.680
I'm sorry. So you do the SNY stuff, and you've
2710
02:07:43.720 --> 02:07:46.199
got your own terrific podcast. What's that called for the listeners?
2711
02:07:46.539 --> 02:07:48.199
Do you still want me on because I'm no longer
2712
02:07:48.260 --> 02:07:50.659
a fan? It doesn't matter. We could just end the conversation.
2713
02:07:50.680 --> 02:07:51.810
Yeah, the Sal Licata Show.
2714
02:07:51.890 --> 02:07:54.010
It's a really creative name, the Sal Licata Show, live
2715
02:07:54.069 --> 02:07:56.289
on YouTube every morning at 9 a.m., which I, in fact,
2716
02:07:56.329 --> 02:07:58.409
cut short this morning to be on with you, my friend.
2717
02:07:58.970 --> 02:08:00.689
To answer that question, the answer is yes. is yes.
2718
02:08:00.949 --> 02:08:06.029
I'd rather not you come on the program anymore. I mean,
2719
02:08:06.069 --> 02:08:08.489
I get Carton, I get Meningo, I get all the guys. No,
2720
02:08:08.960 --> 02:08:10.460
I'm just kidding. Of course I still want you on
2721
02:08:10.479 --> 02:08:13.319
the program. You're great. You're a very talented guy. I
2722
02:08:13.340 --> 02:08:15.319
love you. You're New York sports. I don't care about that.
2723
02:08:16.119 --> 02:08:19.300
So get to this. Get to the Giants. You're funny, Sal. 3-1,
2724
02:08:19.640 --> 02:08:22.479
first place, Dallas. They beat Houston yesterday. They're a game back.
2725
02:08:22.500 --> 02:08:24.319
The Eagles are a mess. They lost to the Rams.
2726
02:08:24.340 --> 02:08:26.619
They're a game back, and the Redskins are finished. So,
2727
02:08:26.859 --> 02:08:29.510
I mean, are we starting to think that even without
2728
02:08:29.590 --> 02:08:32.970
Jackson Dart, without Brian Burns, all these guys, that the
2729
02:08:33.029 --> 02:08:36.949
Giants can stay in this, or have they taken advantage
2730
02:08:37.109 --> 02:08:39.029
of a pretty easy schedule to start?
2731
02:08:39.859 --> 02:08:40.359
I think they can.
2732
02:08:40.380 --> 02:08:41.899
I think it's legit because when you have a head
2733
02:08:41.920 --> 02:08:44.020
coach like that and you play special teams the way
2734
02:08:44.039 --> 02:08:46.260
that they do and you win games that you're supposed
2735
02:08:46.300 --> 02:08:46.560
to win.
2736
02:08:46.880 --> 02:08:48.739
Also said, look at the NFC East.
2737
02:08:48.760 --> 02:08:51.760
The Eagles showed poorly yesterday. They've been playing with fire
2738
02:08:51.800 --> 02:08:53.319
for two years and they probably started to lose some
2739
02:08:53.350 --> 02:08:56.010
of these games. The Cowboys, they don't play any defense.
2740
02:08:56.029 --> 02:08:58.850
The Giants already beat them. So, yeah, I mean, what
2741
02:08:58.949 --> 02:09:00.579
would I, you know, what I throw the.
2742
02:09:01.010 --> 02:09:02.770
The mortgage on the.
2743
02:09:02.750 --> 02:09:05.489
Giants winning the NFC East, probably not at this particular point,
2744
02:09:05.510 --> 02:09:07.430
but I do think it's in play here. They did
2745
02:09:07.470 --> 02:09:08.109
what they needed to.
2746
02:09:08.140 --> 02:09:10.159
Do these last couple of weeks. They still have a
2747
02:09:10.180 --> 02:09:12.500
couple of easy games or easier games the next few
2748
02:09:12.539 --> 02:09:15.060
weeks at Washington. I don't know about Jaden Daniels' status.
2749
02:09:15.680 --> 02:09:18.800
against the Saints, and then at Houston is 0-4 themselves.
2750
02:09:19.060 --> 02:09:20.609
Going into the bye week here, I think the Giants
2751
02:09:20.630 --> 02:09:22.189
can win a couple of these games, and then they
2752
02:09:22.229 --> 02:09:24.649
have Philadelphia on the road coming out of the bye
2753
02:09:24.689 --> 02:09:26.010
week in Week 9, which I think will be the
2754
02:09:26.069 --> 02:09:28.029
real test if they can win this division or not.
2755
02:09:28.250 --> 02:09:30.760
Looks like Jen Daniels will play this week, of course.
2756
02:09:30.939 --> 02:09:33.380
The Redskins are down to their third-string quarterback. Yes, I
2757
02:09:33.399 --> 02:09:35.949
know the commander. Shut up. in the London loss to
2758
02:09:35.970 --> 02:09:38.470
the Colts. Some kid from Rutgers had a play. But
2759
02:09:38.569 --> 02:09:40.350
it looks like Daniels will be back next week. But
2760
02:09:40.369 --> 02:09:42.130
I think you're right. I think the Giants do what
2761
02:09:42.149 --> 02:09:43.989
they got to do to win. These are not great
2762
02:09:44.029 --> 02:09:47.529
football teams. The division is not very good. So we're
2763
02:09:47.569 --> 02:09:48.949
going to see. I'll tell you what, I feel a
2764
02:09:48.949 --> 02:09:51.319
lot better about the Giants than the Jets, who just,
2765
02:09:51.739 --> 02:09:54.979
their defense stops nobody. And yesterday they weren't very good offensively.
2766
02:09:55.000 --> 02:09:57.449
The Bears have a pretty good defense. Jets are 1-3.
2767
02:09:57.920 --> 02:09:59.739
And to me, with Aaron Glenn, he may be the
2768
02:09:59.779 --> 02:10:01.979
worst coach in football. He's up there. They're on a
2769
02:10:02.020 --> 02:10:03.840
road to nowhere. What do you see from the Jets?
2770
02:10:04.409 --> 02:10:07.289
Yeah, who is worse than Aaron Glenn? I mean, Robert Sala.
2771
02:10:07.600 --> 02:10:09.340
What I see from the Jets is a total mess
2772
02:10:09.359 --> 02:10:11.199
yet again. They blew a game in week two that
2773
02:10:11.220 --> 02:10:13.500
they had no business losing. The Packers were very good.
2774
02:10:13.520 --> 02:10:15.039
That was the coach. That was the coach. He blew
2775
02:10:15.060 --> 02:10:15.880
that game. He really did.
2776
02:10:16.399 --> 02:10:18.020
Well, I bet that's what I'm saying. And then week three,
2777
02:10:18.039 --> 02:10:20.199
it's like, oh, you know what? They can compete because
2778
02:10:20.220 --> 02:10:21.840
they almost beat the Lions.
2779
02:10:21.920 --> 02:10:22.340
Great.
2780
02:10:22.380 --> 02:10:23.800
Another moral victory for the Jets.
2781
02:10:24.180 --> 02:10:26.399
And then yesterday, they're non-competitive to the point where one
2782
02:10:26.439 --> 02:10:29.069
of the Bears defensive players says it was the easiest
2783
02:10:29.289 --> 02:10:30.930
NFL game he's ever been a part of.
2784
02:10:31.289 --> 02:10:31.729
The Jets win.
2785
02:10:32.109 --> 02:10:34.649
I mean, that is like, and now you know what's
2786
02:10:34.670 --> 02:10:37.609
going to happen. You have a rookie, not a rookie,
2787
02:10:37.649 --> 02:10:40.430
but he's basically, like last year was pre-K, and this
2788
02:10:40.449 --> 02:10:42.939
year is kindergarten for Aaron Glenn. He's learning on the job.
2789
02:10:43.229 --> 02:10:45.979
When you start to lose again, that's.
2790
02:10:45.779 --> 02:10:47.199
Going to seep through the locker room.
2791
02:10:47.239 --> 02:10:49.000
They can't get Garrett Wilson to football.
2792
02:10:49.020 --> 02:10:50.720
He's going to be upset again.
2793
02:10:51.039 --> 02:10:54.060
It's a whole toxic mess with the Jets, who I
2794
02:10:54.100 --> 02:10:55.380
was told were supposed.
2795
02:10:55.119 --> 02:10:57.420
To, the Jets wished that they were the Raiders. The
2796
02:10:57.460 --> 02:10:59.090
Raiders were that team that was like, hey, you know what?
2797
02:10:59.130 --> 02:11:00.989
Nobody's going to think they're any good. And yet they're
2798
02:11:01.010 --> 02:11:01.729
3-1 this.
2799
02:11:01.569 --> 02:11:04.109
Year and competitive under a young head coach. They're actually
2800
02:11:04.149 --> 02:11:07.369
showing the results. The Jets, the results, unfortunately, Sid, it's
2801
02:11:07.449 --> 02:11:08.149
the same old Jets.
2802
02:11:08.229 --> 02:11:09.869
Yeah, the Raiders were good yesterday in a loss to
2803
02:11:09.890 --> 02:11:12.520
Kansas City. They end up covering on a touchdown, a
2804
02:11:12.560 --> 02:11:14.340
two-point conversion at the very end of the game. He
2805
02:11:14.359 --> 02:11:17.039
took the Chiefs. He wanted to kill himself yesterday. The Vikings, too.
2806
02:11:17.260 --> 02:11:19.420
The Vikings, too. If you're late 10 with the Vikings,
2807
02:11:19.479 --> 02:11:24.210
it's unbelievable. They're up by five. Hawkinson catches a pass
2808
02:11:24.250 --> 02:11:26.770
over his name. He can waltz into the end zone.
2809
02:11:26.909 --> 02:11:30.670
He falls down at the one-yard line. Now, look. If
2810
02:11:30.689 --> 02:11:33.729
the Vikings score there, they go up by 11 with
2811
02:11:33.770 --> 02:11:37.000
the extra point, 12. There's two minutes left. The Dolphins
2812
02:11:37.060 --> 02:11:39.920
are out of timeouts. You don't give up a touchdown
2813
02:11:40.119 --> 02:11:42.520
when you go up by two scores. One score game,
2814
02:11:42.659 --> 02:11:44.439
I get it because you don't want the team to
2815
02:11:44.479 --> 02:11:46.970
get the football in a one-score situation. They would have
2816
02:11:46.979 --> 02:11:49.569
gone up by 12. They were favored by 10. The
2817
02:11:49.590 --> 02:11:51.409
guy fell down at the one-yard line. I mean, there
2818
02:11:51.430 --> 02:11:53.909
were games yesterday. If you bet the NFL, you'd want
2819
02:11:53.930 --> 02:11:55.949
to kill yourself when the Chiefs and Raiders were one
2820
02:11:55.970 --> 02:11:57.989
of those. Let me get to all the Yankees. Game
2821
02:11:58.060 --> 02:12:01.779
two tonight, Yankees shut out game one. That's going to
2822
02:12:01.819 --> 02:12:04.199
be the issue against Tampa Bay. This is not Boston.
2823
02:12:04.500 --> 02:12:07.359
Yankees scored 18 runs in two games. They got Schlittler
2824
02:12:07.399 --> 02:12:09.789
back on the mound tonight. He was magnificent that was there,
2825
02:12:10.090 --> 02:12:12.930
that game one win against Boston. But people forget, this
2826
02:12:12.970 --> 02:12:14.890
is not the best of seven. This is the best
2827
02:12:14.930 --> 02:12:17.350
of five. So if the Rays find a way to
2828
02:12:17.390 --> 02:12:20.029
beat Schlittler tonight... Yankees got to win three in a row.
2829
02:12:20.350 --> 02:12:23.960
That is unlikely, if not improbable, if not impossible. This
2830
02:12:24.020 --> 02:12:26.520
is a must win for the Yankees tonight. Yes.
2831
02:12:27.180 --> 02:12:28.819
I see it the other way. I think it's a
2832
02:12:28.859 --> 02:12:31.159
must win for the Rays tonight because.
2833
02:12:30.899 --> 02:12:32.640
You have, here's the, here's the scenario.
2834
02:12:32.659 --> 02:12:32.840
Okay.
2835
02:12:32.859 --> 02:12:33.020
Yeah.
2836
02:12:33.079 --> 02:12:33.960
Cancel is on the mound.
2837
02:12:34.100 --> 02:12:35.500
Obviously you don't want to get, or go down.
2838
02:12:35.560 --> 02:12:35.920
Oh, two.
2839
02:12:36.319 --> 02:12:41.380
They're coming back home with Max Reed, Garrett Cole, Carlos Rodan.
2840
02:12:41.439 --> 02:12:43.319
Two of those three will be taking a start in
2841
02:12:43.340 --> 02:12:45.199
game three and game four.
2842
02:12:45.220 --> 02:12:47.039
But you have confidence right now in Garrett Cole.
2843
02:12:48.010 --> 02:12:48.310
I do.
2844
02:12:48.430 --> 02:12:50.350
Eric Cole is terrific in game one for five innings.
2845
02:12:50.369 --> 02:12:51.710
And by the way, he might not even start.
2846
02:12:51.989 --> 02:12:53.810
You might have him in a reserve role or at
2847
02:12:53.850 --> 02:12:56.970
least piggyback with Rodon. Boone said that Rodon is probably
2848
02:12:56.989 --> 02:12:57.189
going to.
2849
02:12:57.170 --> 02:12:58.590
Get one of the starts here in game three or
2850
02:12:58.630 --> 02:12:59.090
game four.
2851
02:12:59.449 --> 02:13:00.880
Freed, they may give him the extra rest.
2852
02:13:00.899 --> 02:13:01.859
I don't know how they're going to line it up.
2853
02:13:01.899 --> 02:13:03.680
But those three guys, Sid.
2854
02:13:03.760 --> 02:13:06.380
Pitching at home in the Bronx, which you know... is
2855
02:13:06.399 --> 02:13:08.699
going to be totally different atmosphere for the Rays. Even
2856
02:13:08.720 --> 02:13:10.520
though the Rays have been very good, they've got to
2857
02:13:10.560 --> 02:13:13.149
win a game in the Bronx. And then you have
2858
02:13:13.210 --> 02:13:15.470
Cantrell looming in game five.
2859
02:13:15.510 --> 02:13:17.010
So I don't see it that way.
2860
02:13:17.050 --> 02:13:18.609
I think the Rays had to win game one.
2861
02:13:18.810 --> 02:13:20.010
They did, barely.
2862
02:13:20.029 --> 02:13:22.109
I think the Rays got to win this game as well.
2863
02:13:22.189 --> 02:13:23.789
And even then, I'm still not.
2864
02:13:23.710 --> 02:13:25.619
Writing off the Yankees because of the way that the
2865
02:13:25.640 --> 02:13:27.680
pitching lines up and because they're coming home. Isn't the
2866
02:13:27.720 --> 02:13:30.359
old adage like the series doesn't begin until the home
2867
02:13:30.380 --> 02:13:31.239
team loses a game?
2868
02:13:31.420 --> 02:13:33.220
I'm going to abide by that in this series with
2869
02:13:33.239 --> 02:13:33.520
the Yankees.
2870
02:13:33.520 --> 02:13:36.119
All right, but what about offensively? Again, the Rays can pitch,
2871
02:13:36.159 --> 02:13:39.350
and the Yankees, you know, without judge, they've got their moments, obviously,
2872
02:13:39.789 --> 02:13:42.829
but they did nothing in game one. Are you worried
2873
02:13:42.850 --> 02:13:45.100
about the offense in this series moving forward?
2874
02:13:45.590 --> 02:13:48.270
Yes, if they don't hit Freddie Peralta. I'm not worried yet.
2875
02:13:48.369 --> 02:13:51.770
Rasmussen was as nasty as can be, but that's a
2876
02:13:51.810 --> 02:13:54.010
legitimate ace shutting you down. Freddie Peralta, I don't care
2877
02:13:54.050 --> 02:13:55.930
how much he's been with the Rays talking about they
2878
02:13:55.970 --> 02:13:58.449
treat him like kings and he's figured it out. Of course,
2879
02:13:58.510 --> 02:13:59.970
after he leaves the Mets, he's all of a sudden
2880
02:14:00.010 --> 02:14:03.569
figured it out. If the Yankees don't mash Freddie Peralta tonight,
2881
02:14:03.630 --> 02:14:05.850
then yes, I'll be concerned about their offense.
2882
02:14:05.880 --> 02:14:07.380
So that will be telling from tonight.
2883
02:14:07.409 --> 02:14:10.460
If they lose and the offense doesn't do anything, then
2884
02:14:10.520 --> 02:14:11.960
I could start to see how fans would think that
2885
02:14:11.979 --> 02:14:13.819
they're not going to send it back to Tampa for
2886
02:14:13.840 --> 02:14:16.670
a game five. But I expect I don't think the
2887
02:14:16.689 --> 02:14:17.890
Yankees are going to win tonight. I just don't think
2888
02:14:17.930 --> 02:14:20.090
if they lose that the series is over.
2889
02:14:20.310 --> 02:14:22.789
And are you looking forward to the beginning of the
2890
02:14:22.789 --> 02:14:26.119
2026 champion? Get ready for this, Sal Licata and my
2891
02:14:26.159 --> 02:14:29.699
millions of listeners. Get ready for this. For the home
2892
02:14:29.779 --> 02:14:34.819
opener for your reigning NBA world champion, New York Knicks.
2893
02:14:35.640 --> 02:14:37.039
I can't wait. Are you going?
2894
02:14:37.060 --> 02:14:38.600
Of course I'm going. I'm Sid.
2895
02:14:39.229 --> 02:14:39.520
Are you nuts?
2896
02:14:39.550 --> 02:14:40.069
I understand.
2897
02:14:42.369 --> 02:14:44.789
Not only am I going, but there's a chance I'm
2898
02:14:44.810 --> 02:14:46.689
going to punch Spike Lee right across the face. How
2899
02:14:46.710 --> 02:14:50.930
about that? I may do that. I may drag that
2900
02:14:50.949 --> 02:14:53.010
little bastard up and down the court for like 10 minutes.
2901
02:14:53.630 --> 02:14:54.989
I didn't know you were still a Knicks fan because
2902
02:14:55.029 --> 02:14:56.569
I thought that.
2903
02:14:55.970 --> 02:14:58.170
The mayor is a big Knicks guy. No, he's not.
2904
02:14:58.329 --> 02:15:00.289
No, he's been revealed and exposed. He's never been a
2905
02:15:00.289 --> 02:15:01.149
Knicks fan. He's a liar.
2906
02:15:01.170 --> 02:15:03.710
You mean he was there at the parade giving the
2907
02:15:03.729 --> 02:15:04.210
big speech?
2908
02:15:04.409 --> 02:15:06.109
Oh, you mean the speech that somebody else wrote for him?
2909
02:15:06.800 --> 02:15:08.399
Well, I mean, isn't that what all politicians do?
2910
02:15:08.479 --> 02:15:10.800
No, no, no, no, no. Not all. Not my guy, Trump.
2911
02:15:10.899 --> 02:15:12.369
You get up there, you speak. But the thing is,
2912
02:15:12.380 --> 02:15:14.359
he knows nothing about the Knicks. You know who can't
2913
02:15:14.380 --> 02:15:16.739
stand Mom Donnie as much as I can? Jim Dolan.
2914
02:15:16.880 --> 02:15:18.720
Because he knows he's a liar. He's not a real
2915
02:15:18.800 --> 02:15:21.859
Knick fan. You think he knows who Edmund Sherrod is
2916
02:15:21.939 --> 02:15:25.789
or Rory Sparrow or even Bill Cartwright? He's got no idea.
2917
02:15:25.829 --> 02:15:28.430
He's a lying piece of garbage. So, yes, I'm still
2918
02:15:28.470 --> 02:15:32.189
a diehard Knick fan, even though the lying, thieving, anti-Semite
2919
02:15:32.229 --> 02:15:33.439
mayor claims that he is.
2920
02:15:33.850 --> 02:15:35.750
Well, and this will be the first time, certainly in
2921
02:15:35.789 --> 02:15:37.609
my lifetime, and I'm pretty sure yours as well, or
2922
02:15:37.630 --> 02:15:40.149
at least as a functioning adult, that we get to
2923
02:15:40.189 --> 02:15:44.420
sit back and enjoy a season watching our champions. Like,
2924
02:15:44.460 --> 02:15:47.520
for me, there's no pressure. I don't expect them to
2925
02:15:47.539 --> 02:15:47.880
win again.
2926
02:15:47.939 --> 02:15:48.619
I'd love to see it.
2927
02:15:48.640 --> 02:15:49.279
But I just want to.
2928
02:15:49.279 --> 02:15:52.319
Celebrate and enjoy each night watching this group of guys
2929
02:15:52.659 --> 02:15:54.920
who delivered New York the championship for the first time
2930
02:15:54.939 --> 02:15:56.720
in 53 years. I can't wait for the next season
2931
02:15:56.739 --> 02:15:57.340
to get underway.
2932
02:15:57.380 --> 02:15:59.399
Me too. LeBron James will be here that opening night
2933
02:15:59.439 --> 02:16:01.539
in those tough Philadelphia 76ers. I was six years old.
2934
02:16:02.819 --> 02:16:05.000
The last time the Knicks won a championship before this
2935
02:16:05.439 --> 02:16:09.020
magnificent postseason last year. As always, Sal Licata, you're great.
2936
02:16:09.060 --> 02:16:12.239
Check out Sal Licata, the Sal Licata Show. We play

2939
02:16:16.850 --> 02:16:17.050
Ball.
2940
02:16:17.090 --> 02:16:20.109
Wants to look like me. Close. Almost. Close. Not there,
2941
02:16:20.329 --> 02:16:24.750
but close. Sal Licata. I can understand. That's right. Sal Licata,
2942
02:16:24.770 --> 02:16:26.689
I love you. I think you're great. We'll keep bringing
2943
02:16:26.710 --> 02:16:27.710
you back. Does that sound good?
2944
02:16:28.260 --> 02:16:28.489
Yes.
2945
02:16:28.600 --> 02:16:29.180
Thank you, Sid.
2946
02:16:29.310 --> 02:16:31.520
God bless you, Sal. You're terrific. Thank you so much, pal.
