Do you want to come up here, Sid? Mark, should I let Sid come up, Mark? I think so. Come on, Sid. So Sid's got the number one radio show in New York. Got the number one radio show in New York, like by far. The number of 9-11 families have called on New York Mayor Zoramong Doni to not attend the number of these memorial services. What are your thoughts on that? Well, I think they're having a hard time with Zohran Mamdani. The people having to do with anybody having to do with 9-11 right now on the victim side, and there are a lot of them. They're very unhappy with what's going on in New York, and they're very unhappy with the mayor. Giovanni Galante. And he's the man that started this petition. I'm on board 100% to keep the mayor away from... the 9-11 commemoration memorial service coming up this year, 25 years. First of all, how do people get to you to see the petition? And is there a number of people you think you need on that petition to make sure this man is not there? I don't know if there's a number. I don't, even if we had a million, I think he had a million votes to be mayor. Yeah. I think if we oversee that million, maybe that'll work. But I don't know if it will. You know, like you said before I was listening to your show, he's going to show up. He doesn't have, you know, we just ask for a decency, respect, and just stay away. Doesn't care. He doesn't care. We're asking respectfully. We're not, you know, we're not demonizing. We're not, we're stating facts. We're, you know, we're trying to move on. This is private to us. This is the day that we have private to us. I understand sometimes other politicians come, but they don't have those beliefs. We're not after politicians. We're not after people in general or Muslims or Jewish people. We're after people that don't have our values. That's right. I think that we deserve to get our loved ones murdered on a day that they're just going to work.

Elizabeth Borsman. I mean, we have this committee, the mayor's advisory committee on the judiciary. Right? We know mayors appoint judges, the criminal court, family court. I mean, the mayor of New York, it's a powerful position. And every mayor since Mayor Koch has had this committee that recommends and evaluates judges for the criminal courts and the family courts, which we have vacancies on. And, you know, they list the mayors always listen to the chief judge. They listen to other judges. They take their recommendations. And here we have the committee. It's got 18 members plus the chair, not a single Jew. Wow. Not a single Jew. In my six months of being the mayor, I've had the privilege of appointing a dozen qualified judges from a range of backgrounds, including Jewish judges. And I want to be clear that any suggestion that the composition of the advisory committee was motivated by religion is false. We decided not to move forward with his appointment because of the fact that he served on Ghislaine Maxwell's legal defense team. Years from now, they'll look back and say what collective madness overtook this country. In his diary, he brags about convincing Democrats in New York and California to shut schools down. And yet he goes on TV and says, oh, I wouldn't for shutdowns. That level of contempt and dishonesty is disgraceful. And Dr. Anthony Fauci ought to think about what it says about the end of his career. that what he will be remembered for the most is pleading the fifth more than 100 times. He's been the most damaging bureaucrat in the history of America. And I will say the school shutdowns, which Anthony Fauci bragged that he was responsible for, made well be the single most destructive public policy step we've seen in decades. And that learning loss? We'll stick with those kids the rest of their lives. When they're 90 years old, they will still be suffering the consequences of Anthony Fauci's corrupt and dishonest shutdowns. And the fact that he knew he was lying in the American people, he should be held in contempt, he should be prosecuted for perjury, and he should go to jail. Well, I want to know if you think so, it was worth it to meet Kim Kardashian that he destroyed the lives of millions of Americans. He was the reason I ran for office. policies where he treated American citizens like lab rats was totally and utterly disgusting. And I'm going to see if he has even the courage to just apologize to the American people for what they put us through. He damaged a lot of lives. I mean, he... affected kids in a way that will never get their childhood back. He put mental illness in a lot of people who now are scared about all kinds of things. He did incredible harm to the country. You saw him in the diaries. The guy did not suffer a low ego. I mean, he thought he was the sexiest man alive.

You know, I think he's one of these guys that chased wisdom his entire life. Unfortunately, God didn't give him speed. Of course, he's going to take the fifth, and I really took the opportunity to show up and acknowledge. I lost family members from COVID, and people lost their businesses through him. That is too. And I was like, did I have regrets? Well, I did. One, for sure. It was, you know, this idea that it could have come from the lab. That was, like, you know, crazy, bright friends. kind of thing, you know, like, seem to make sense to me. I think that's kind of more just a coincidence. I hope the next time this happens, we can follow where the truth is, depending on if there's an R or D after the name or whatever the side is coming, because especially like it's a virus, the only side is really Americans versus the virus in the future. I've had loved ones die from COVID, but I also met and I've heard from countless people that lost their businesses. That's devastating. I mean, that's another, it's a different kind of death. So that's what a terrible time that it was. So I know Dr. Anthony Fauci was going to take the fifth. So I just, like I said, I expressed my one regret, you know, being more willing to push that idea that was the lab leak. Navy fled the fifth. because his brain was fried for the 15 boosters he recommended everyone else take, but chances are he probably didn't take himself. The man who kept us from our families, our dying elders, and our jobs. The man who forced businesses into bankruptcy and forced seniors to live alone in solitude. The man who threatened that we needed to listen to him as if he were a god. The man who funded gain of function research through the National Institute of Health, which ultimately caused COVID, the man who conspired with Obama and Big Tech to make sure that Americans lost their voice and their right to speak and object to anything he said, testified today before Congress. And guess what? He invoked the Fifth Amendment more than 120 times. You know, by refusing to answer these questions, it was clear that he knew what was at stake. He knew that if he were to tell the truth, that we would have to indict him for perjury based upon the emails, the witnesses, and everything we know today compared to what he was saying to Americans years ago when we were all victimized by him and his dictates. He knew if he lied, he would be charged with perjury. And so... He pled the fifth. The man who spent years funding experiments that cut Beagle's vocal cords so they couldn't scream while experiments were done on them is the one who today has gone completely silent. Anthony Fauci, pleading the fifth today, is pure irony. Now this man, Anthony Fauci, is no better than the dogs he victimized. No bark and no bite.

May he live in infamy as the man who did everything he could to destroy this country. I disagreed with him on a lot. I would have had it closed down the whole country if I listened to him. I went the Federalist way, which is basically let the governors decide. Pouchy wanted to have nobody wearing masks, if you remember, and then everybody had to wear five masks, as many masks as you could get. I mean, made a lot of mistakes. He wasn't a big factor for me. He was a very big factor for Biden. You remember, even though we were sort of prime time in terms of that whole disaster of COVID, far people died fewer in the Trump administration than in the Biden administration. Anthony Fauci, and you were heard from five different people. at the very end of the open, talking about what transpired yesterday. Teddy Cruz, who I call Teddy politics. Then you heard from Moreno without the F word. John Fetterman, who is quickly becoming a Republican. He's just about done with the Democrat Party. You know, he was good yesterday. I mean, towards a certain point, he was, you know, he was frustrated with Anthony Fauci, but he also showed Anthony Fauci some. empathy. He actually said, this guy's 85 years old. You're beating a hell out of them every 10 minutes. So John Fetterman was kind of on both sides to the fence yesterday. Janine Piro, our old buddy, the U.S. attorney in D.C., and then President Trump. So here's what we know. Anthony Fauci based at Senate. Hearing yesterday, Rand Paul, who I don't like, I've told you this, a million times don't like him, feel like he wakes up every day just looking for any reason to disagree with President Trump. One of those guys, you know, like his buddy in Kentucky, Thomas Massie, another douchebag. But, but... Unlike a lot of you out there, remember, I voted for Hillary Clinton, and now Trump and I are great buddies, great buddies. In fact, I heard from Margo Martin yesterday, and it looks like President Trump is going to do a video from me congratulating me on my Hall of Fame induction. We're tight, real tight. I didn't vote for him, okay? I was able to change my mind. Same thing with Rand Paul. I don't like the guy, but I'll give him credit when he's good. And yesterday, Rand Paul was... Great. He laid it out for you. All the lies that Anthony Fauci told you. No masks? We need masks, right? Shut it down. Don't shut it down. Shut it down. Keep the kids at home. I didn't say that. Well, I kind of did say that. So Paul somehow got this diary, this Anthony Fauci diary. And in the diary, Anthony Fauci contradicts just about everything he said publicly. Then he bragged about his relationships with assholes like New York Mayor Bill de Blasio and how he shut it down for de Blasio and California Governor Gavin Newsom and all the Hollywood folks that loved them. He brags about all of them. All of them. Seemed like Anthony Fauci just wanted to be a superstar and he got there. He got there in a big way. Now, while he was doing that, of course, he was lying about the origins of COVID.

And after lying about that, between the shutdowns and the vaccines, many people were affected negatively as well and died. Anthony Fauci and Joe Biden, more people died under Biden and Anthony Fauci from COVID than Trump. For President Trump, he's having the presidency of a lifetime. Right, he's going to walk right back in in 2020. Here comes COVID. If you don't believe the election was rigged. Here comes COVID. And he gets smacked across the pace and less people died under Trump's leadership, my guy, than under Biden and Anthony Fauci. And they had all the answers. You know, you still see people in Central Park here in New York, mostly here in New York, because this city is absolutely insane. We've got the, really, we've got the sickest and dumbest and most retarded people right here in New York. We do. You know, they still walk around on an 85 degree day with that beautiful vitamin D sunshine wearing masks. And one of the things that I did during COVID was never wear a mask. It pissed off Daniel. It pissed off the employers here. I remember they kept sending out emails. You got to wear a mask. I wouldn't do it. And my. I guess my thought was, especially during the summer, that vitamin D basically cures everything, and the mask cured nothing because the truth is, unless you taped it to the sides of your mouth, if there was a little bit of an opening, little bit, it didn't protect you. People wearing two masks, three masks, visors. I don't want to call them stupid. They were scared, but they were stupid. And I got to the point where I just didn't wear it. I never did. So one day is a true story. Nomaloo, you know this. I'm living 915 West End Avenue. Nice building, Stephen Colbert Perez, my dorm man, I love him. 104th. Actually, it was between 104th and 105th on West End Avenue. And my wife is there, Danielle, my beautiful wife, my kids, Abe and Gabe living in the building. And I come down one morning and I see in the lobby. Three different posters of me. You can't make this up. I'm living in the building spending more rent than anybody else. They were still charging me over $8,000 a month in that apartment during COVID. There's three posters of me and the sign read. If you see this man without a mask, call 911. I go to my dormant. I go, bro, bro, my kids are in this building. You can't have the residents who I live with and see every day threaten to arrest me. He's like, sit, I can't stop him. That's how crazy these people were, and that's how much they hated my guts. That's why I moved. Oh, that's one of the reasons why. I just wouldn't wear a mask. I knew it didn't help. See, I didn't care what Dr. Anthony Fauci said. I didn't care what a lot of the doctors said. I didn't even care what my bosses said. I had my own set of rules. Now, the one thing I do regret, because I lived in Manhattan and because when it came to restaurants, you know, I like to go out to eat every once in a while. So did my family. Or ball games, big Met game, big Yankee game. You couldn't go to any of these events unless you got vaccinated. So you couldn't even travel.

And we wanted to go to Florida. I forget what year it was, on vacation. You couldn't go to the airport. You couldn't get on a plane. You couldn't live. They made you get these vaccines. I know people who didn't do it and they feel like they're the real warriors. Good for them. Good for them. At least I enjoyed partially some of my life during COVID. A lot of you guys had nothing because I got the booster. I did. So did my kids, my son's blood pressure shot up to a very, very high number. It was very, very scary. But we did it. Thank God everybody survived. We don't think anybody has any ill effects today. But I was able to go to Florida. I was able to go to the MEC game. I was able to go to a restaurant. And I walked around with a card like they did in Nazi Germany. And that was because Anthony Fauci and Bill de Blasio and Governor Andrew Cuomo also guilty in all of this, very guilty, decided that they love the power. You remember Andrew Cuomo when he first started how great he was? You had me and Bernard, my late great partner, God rest his soul. We went on the air more than once and we said, oh my God, my God, God, he's presidential. We had about a 10-day period where me and Bernard fell in love with Andrew Cuomo like everybody else. The difference is 10 days later, 10 days, not months, we figured it out. The rest of you, morons, you stuck with him. And after 10 days, we started to eviscerate Andrew Cuomo, started showing his true colors. Everything President Trump tried to do, Andrew Cuomo wanted no part of, right? bringing the ship here to New York and the job, all the things that the federal government and other folks wanted to do, but Andrew Cuomo loved it. He was on TV every day with his short-sleeved shirt and his tan. His inbox was full of ladies out there, single and marry, telling how great he was. He was going to be the next president of the United States. And then we all figured it out. It was terrible what he did. He destroyed this state, and people died under his leadership. He can explain it away all he wants. People died in big numbers. Ash Dennis Dean under his leadership. It was a mess. It was a one big mess. And Anthony Fauci was right at the center of all of it. He was the guy. Everybody listened to Anthony Fauci. You know, the... Education people. They should also be in prison. Randy Weingarten. What a horrible lady. Horrible lady. Michael Mogru. All these people should go to prison. See, that's the issue with yesterday. I know Rand Paul is going to try to hold... Anthony Fauci and contempt next week, but nothing's going to happen. Truth is, Anthony Fauci should go to prison, but he's not going to. He's 85 years old. He got his ass kicked yesterday, even though he took the fifth 111 times, and it's going to go away. That's it. We're not going to forget. And he's going to die, and he's going to die an infamous broken man, not the superstar he was five years ago, but he's not going to jail. Andrew Cuomo didn't go to jail. Hillary Clinton didn't go to jail.

Randy Wine Garden, Michael Mogul, didn't go to jail, Bill de Blasio's wife, who stole a billion dollars from this city. Bill, that disgusting animal, him and his wife, they didn't go to jail. Nobody goes to jail unless you're associated with Trump. People like General Michael Flynn, who turns out is a pretty big douchebag, and Paul Manafort. And those types of people, who's my other guy that actually like Navarro? and a guy that has disappointed me time and time against Steve Bannon, but those guys go to jail because they were in and around President Trump. But the Democrats, people die, they lie. They die, they lie, and there's no repercussions. And I think you would agree on there'll be no repercussions here. No, yesterday, look, lawmakers know that there's not, nothing's going to happen. So it's a moment for them to tarnish his image to show. Which they did. Every time he took the fifth, he took the fifth, if you're keeping score at home, 111 times. 111 times he took the fifth. Now, an innocent man. doesn't take the fifth. Now, you know that if he does talk, he does leave himself open. open to perjury and he can go to jail. But a guy that's really innocent, he'll take that chance. Because you know once you take the fifth, you're basically saying guilty, but I'm not going to say anything because I don't want to go to jail. Is that fair to say? I guess. I mean, I would suggest that when you go before a hearing like that, and if there's any possibility that some information you're going to give contradicts something you've said in the past that your lawyer would tell you to. invoke the fifth time after time. Shut up, shut up! Yeah, a good lawyer would tell you to do that anyway. Yeah. Well, what was your take from yesterday? I can't do this all day long. You know, Greg Kelly, I love his show, and I think Greg is one of the smartest guys on radio. There's a really good show. He really does. He spends a lot of time on this yesterday. And we did too. We actually had Miranda Devine on live during the hearing. I am not going to spend hours and hours on this today because why? I mean, you know, he took the fifth. We know what he did. I just explained it to you for the last 20 plus minutes how it affected New York City. So if you want round the clock Anthony Bouchy attention, this is not going to be the show this morning. So I want to get everybody to give me a quick... feeling on it. Ron Johnson will join us. That's a huge guest, Wisconsin Senator Ron Johnson, who's at the very forefront of all the COVID news, including the vaccine story. He's going to join us in the 7 o'clock hour. So we are going to cover it, but it's not going to be wall-to-wall Anthony Fauci. Because I saw it up yesterday. So what did you take from it? I think if you saw...

Kentucky Senator Rand Paul and they were smart the Republicans to have him lead the hearing. He was the one who has the most information. He lays it out. He was great. He was great. And the difference is he ran Paul to your point. You're right. He's got all the information. He laid it out. He made it very, very clear that Anthony Fauci lied that he knew from day one that it was created in a lab. It wasn't about the virus jumping from an animal to human being. He laid it all out. All of it made it very, very clear that Anthony Fauci lied time and time again. He had the info. Ron Johnson, who will join me this morning, he's more emotional. So you get the Rand Paul, who's very detailed, right? And then you get the emotion with Ron Johnson. And then other guys that chimed in, like I said, Bernie Moreno, who used the F word and others that were also very emotional. But you're right, Norm Rand Paul, who, like I say, most of the time I've got... Not nice things to say about Rand. Yesterday, he was terrific. Yeah, and I think after that you could have turned it off because you didn't learn anything new after that. No, but you wanted to see everybody beat his ass. I guess. I got boring after a while. That's what I thought, too. I thought it got boring, too. All these things become boring for me. I don't know. But I get bored very, very easily. That's why this is a great show, because you're never going to hear me spend one time, two hours on one topic, ever. We'd jump around all over the place and... That's part of my ADHD, but that makes for great radio. I was bored to. But I didn't even see some of the people we played today. You didn't miss anything. No? No. I mean, Rand Paul did the best job. And that's why he was first. What about the people that defended him? What kind of sick bastards? It's like Peters out of Michigan. Well, that was their job, right? Why is that the Democrats? Wait, wait a second. You're going to tell me that COVID? Did COVID only kill Democrats? Did COVID only kill Republicans? How could COVID possibly be a partisan issue? How? Well, it is. But how? It became one. It still is. Well, everything becomes a partisan issue. I understand that. But, I mean, if you're these Democrats, they don't understand how stupid they sound. I mean, we've got detailed information, detailed on how this guy lied about everything, contradicted everything he said publicly in his own diary, and they're still going to stand by this guy. Well, they did one by one. No, I know. It shows you how disgusting that party is. Seriously. We're stupid. They're not stupid. No, they are not stupid. They're evil. It's worse. They're not stupid. They're not stupid. They're not stupid. They know exactly what's going on. A lot of it could be, oh, Trump's for it. Well, that's it. No, that's it. You just nailed it. That's not stupid. That's evil. They know better. But you just nailed it. Trump. Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump. Everything Trump says or feels. They need to find a way to go the other way. Even at times like this, but what are we talking about here? This is not about Trump.

People died in big numbers. We shut down economies. Businesses died. People killed themselves. Little kids are morons. They really are compare our kids to other kids around the world. This is not a joke. This is not about Trump. It's not about Republicans versus Democrats. It's right versus wrong. That's it. Right versus wrong. And Anthony Fauci and the Democrats were wrong. Even Patricia Heaton, who was on that TV show. Everybody loves Raymond. No, I'm sorry. She actually talked about 9-11, not this. There were a couple of Democrat performers, though, who have come to our side of the aisle. When I say our side, not Republicans, but sane people who know that Anthony Fauci is a terrible man. Terrible man. What do you think about him, though? Yeah, I mean, I think he contradicts a lot of what he... You don't want to go as far as saying he's a terrible man? No, I don't think he's a terrible man, but I think... Wait, wait, wait, wait. Yeah. He knew what he was doing was going to damage... I don't know that he did. You don't know that he did. You don't know that he did what he said in the diary. You want to let me finish what I'm going to say? Not really. You've already known the hell out of him. All right, so then I won't finish. God. Fine, finish. Go ahead. Let me hear the rest of this. You know, we were living through a crazy time, and he had to navigate that, and there was definitely portions of that. He did not do well. Portions? Yeah. Well, he was getting, he wasn't the sole arbiter, right? He was getting advice from other leading health officials around the world of how to handle this. He helped fund. The whole disaster. What are you talking about? And he was the guy that President Trump, I know Berks was there and others. He was the guy we relied on. So the president should have fired him if he was getting bad advice. The president was scared to death. He didn't know it was bad advice until later. Well, okay. That's a problem. Now, if you said what you said just now six years ago. I give you credence, but now knowing what we know, knowing that he admitted he lied in his diary, what else do you need to see before you call him a bad guy? There are a lot of contradictions in that diary. Did you read all those things? Because if you look through it, there's no smoking gun that says that there's no huge, gigantic revelation. There just isn't. There's a lot of stuff that he lied about or that he said something six years ago. Now he says something different. You can't put two and two together? You need to have everything written down. You need to have Anthony Fauci actually say in the diary, I lied to figure out he lied? We were living through something that we had never lived through before. And he was trying to navigate that. No, he wasn't trying to do anything. He made some mistakes along the way. He was trying to cover his ass. He lied. I just don't think he's a terrible person. That's all. I disagree with you. Wow. What do you think, Lou? I think the whole thing confirms what I always think is I don't trust anybody. That's it. So do you think Anthony Fauci is a terrible person? I think, yeah. I think he's part of a whole big, bad. I'm not saying he was alone. I was asking about him specifically. Yes, he's a bad person. He's a very bad person, I agree with you. Very, very bad person. Somebody has got to tell us the truth about what's going on. And he knew better. He did know. He did know, regardless of what the experts were relying on. Yeah.

And he lied. Yeah. Lied time and time again, like Ted Cruz, lying Ted. We'll play Trump again here. Let's play Trump number six when he criticizes Anthony Fauci on his handling of COVID-19. Anthony Fauci wanted to have nobody wearing masks, if you remember. And then everybody had to wear five masks, as many masks as you could get. I mean, he made a lot of mistakes. And he wasn't a big factor for me. He was a very big factor for Biden. Cut number seven, he talks about how fewer people died under his day than Biden. Cut number seven. You remember, even though we were sort of prime time in terms of that whole disaster of COVID, far people died fewer in the Trump administration than in the Biden administration. Let's move to Iran. So, you know, obviously my comments about Zohran Mamdani received a lot of attention. trending number three on Twitter on Saturday. You know the whole thing. I called him a terrorist on television. Well, you know what surprised me? And Noam, I don't think you saw this. This one shocked me. And I'm okay with it. I actually spoke to the guy last night. Noam, you know the name Garrett Searight? That name sounds awfully familiar. Yes, because I've mentioned him a million times. So Garrett C. Wright is the top writer for Amy Coney Barrett Media. He's Jason Amy Coney Barrett's go-to guy. So I end up... in Amy Coney Barrett Media on their website, about two or three times a week. There's not a radio host in the country that is on that site more than me, okay? And that's the group Amy Coney Barrett Media that has now become really the industry standard for us when it comes to talk radio, even music and sports, all of it. And you may remember two years ago, Amy Coney Barrett Media had me as the number one news talk show host in the country, and last year they had our morning show. number one in the country. So Jason Amy Coney Barrett, Garrett Seywright, they have showed me and you guys this show a tremendous amount of respect. And I don't remember ever, ever, ever anything negative coming from Amy Coney Barrett media about me until yesterday when Garrett Seyright wrote a story and said that Sid Rosenberg's appearance on box news on Saturday should be a warning. to television execs that when you bring on a controversial talk radio guy, you may get what you get with Sid on Saturday. He was upset that I called Zohran Mamdani a terrorist. So I texted, C. Wright, like I, like Trump or two last night. I go, a little off on me, no, buddy? He said, yeah, but at least I was fair. I said, okay, you were fair, but you were wrong. And I explained to him how you've got Hamas leaders sitting in Qatar right now. They've never put on an explosive best. They've never fired a gun. They're terrorists. When you align with terrorists, when you accept the same ideology as terrorists, you're a terrorist. That's it. That's Zohran Mamdani. You don't have to kill somebody to be a terrorist. And he disagreed again. And he said, well, the one thing we agree on is you look really good on TV. I said, thank you, Guy. So he actually took me to task on the Zohran Mamdani part. But the other part that's getting me killed on Twitter as well was before I even touched Zohran Mamdani with Rachel Campos, Duffy, Griff Jenkins, and Charlie Hurt was they started with Iran because they were shocked when I was on a month ago that I wasn't with Trump.

that I kept saying a month ago, Trump needs to finish the job. And it was pretty much the same conversation this time around, although they tried to pin me as a guy who wants to see Americans die on the ground. And you're going to hear the order I'm going to play next. I never said that. In fact, I said anything but. But that hasn't stopped psychos and traitors. That's what they are. Like Alex Jay Jones, Glenn Greenwald, General Michael Flynn, some guy Kyle Serapin, that loser Joe Kent. I know he served our country. I don't care. I've got a couple of examples of people like Graham Platner who have served our country that are still bad people. And no one loves the bets and the cops and all these guys more than me. Joe Kent is not a good guy. So let's go back, Lewis, to my appearance last Saturday on Fox News. This is not Zohran Mamdani. This is me on Iran. Also getting me a whole bunch of hate on Twitter when I made it very, very clear, we just got to win. We just got to finish this. This is cut number 15. It is inevitable that President Trump is going to have to do what he doesn't want to do, which is go in there with this massive all-out attack. There's no other way to stop this. There's no other way to win this war. So, again, he's trying to do the best he can. He's a very nice man. I love President Trump. He doesn't want people to die. He really doesn't. He's a nice man. But there's no other way to end this. Once you start this, Midnight Hammer was great. Epicure was great. Once you start this, there needs to be a finish. And the only finish is complete surrender by the Iranians. I hate to say it, but complete annihilation. Well, we talked last time about this. And by the way, I agree. I love President Trump. I love his... His heart, I think, is really for peace. And he's always, I love that even now, this past week, he's still talking about peace and wanting to find and leaving that door open for negotiations. You say the only end is annihilation. Now, what if the... winning this war requires boots on the ground. I asked you that last time. That's not very popular with the American people. What is your response to that? It's not popular with me either. Look, I'm not a parent of an Army person, a Marine person. So I'm very sensitive to that. Trust me. But look, we have the Army, we have Marines for a reason. They're not there to shake your hand at the airport, Rachel, okay? They're there for a reason. Last I checked, we don't have a draft in this country. So these courageous men and women know exactly what they're signing up for. This is war. We don't want to see anybody die, but this is war. A war that started 47 years ago that they started. So, yes, I know the moral ground is to say, I don't want our kids to die. I feel the same way. But we got to win. Now, we can win maybe without.

putting boots on the ground. Maybe we can. I don't know. I'm not Jack King. I don't have the type of information. If we can do that, great. But if at some point it requires putting some boots on the ground to win this war, that's why they signed up. To fight for this country, to fight for President Trump, and to rid the world of evil animals like the Iranian regime. What does victory look like to you? Are you serious? You really want just until they're annihilated and there's a regime change? Is that final for you? That's it. I mean, look, I want to get the dust. I want to open the straight. All that's important. But if you leave these animals in power, you are destined. Look, what is the definition of insanity? Do the same thing over and over and again. Expect different results. If you leave the IRGC in power, we're going to have the same issues in five years, in 10 years when the great President Trump, excuse me, is gone. So we have no choice at this point, but to go in there. And yes, regime change. I know it's two dirty words. That's part of winning the war ultimately. What was so wrong about that, no, you tell me. Was there not incredibly sensitive to our courageous kids, the parents that I say, I'd rather do it without boots on the ground. I'm not Jack Keene. I don't know about all the answers. So you tell me why these idiots like Alex Jay Jones and Joe Kent and even the Fox hosts that look at me with this stink eye. What do I say there that's so awful? First of all, nothing terrible. But what I find just completely comical and funny is that... They invite you on. They invite Sid Rosenberg on to Fox and Friends in the morning on Saturday morning. And what they want is Sid. But when they do get Sid, they have to then go apologize. That makes no sense to me. So don't invite you on. If you don't want Sid, you know, it's like Brian Kilmeade invite you on because he knows he's getting Sid. And he gets big ratings. Yeah. So then Fox has to apologize twice afterwards. I mean, come on. And they invited you on for that reason because they wanted people to tune in. They wanted the aftermath of those videos being shared. They love all that stuff. But then on air, they make these apologies. I just think that's kind of silly. It was silly. And they've received a lot of pushback for Twitter for days. People were killing Griff Jenkins and Fox News. They never bought it up Fox News. I mean, look, when I was done, I got texts from both Rachel Campo Stuppie and Griff Jenkins. Rachel just sent the emoji of fire. You come on, it's fire. And that's what they want. 720 on a Saturday morning. You know how boring the guests were before and after me? Of course. I mean, Jesus, come on. So I gave them, like you said, I gave them Sid. They get great ratings. People talk about it for days. No one talks about any segment on Fox. I hate to say it. Trump goes on Sean Hannity? Okay, you got a little bit the next morning. That's about it. You know, and he's a big time show. Jesse Waters. No one talks about it. They've been talking about my appearance for days. They're writing columns about it five days later. If you're Fox, what else do you want? And if there are still people telling me, they'd be surprised if Fox ever brought me back again. I mean, I'm controversial. I got great opinions. I'm the best looking guy on that network. When I come on, what else do you want, Norm? You tell me. Yeah. Again, if you're inviting Sid on to your show, no matter where it is, you're going to get Sid. You're not going to hold back. And so they should come to expect that. And just the fact that they apologize twice. Twice, I know. You think that'll bring me back? Well, no, maybe not because that apology didn't come from the show, from Oxen Frens that came from somebody much higher. Well, that's my thought. Of course. I mean, no one has admitted that yet, Griff Jenkins. Well, no, he can't.

decide to make that apology right that's not his call that's not even the producer the director of the show's call that's somebody on higher floor right who is saying watching the show early on saturday morning and saying oh no no we need to make up for this and so they forced griff to do that apology not one to which wise yeah i like griff and i know he was uncomfortable doing it he may not admit that but i did already it's been in print for a couple of days he may be mad at me i don't know but Listen, I just called it the way I see it. And the way I talked about Iran there was anything but heartless. Anything but, you know, we do need to get the dust. We need to make sure the straight is opened and we need to wipe out the IRGC. What is so crazy about that? And if we can do it without boots on the ground, as I said, right there you heard it. Let's do it. I don't want to see one American killed. 18 have died already. But if we can't, then you got to win. What is so crazy about that? What? What else is going on, No. Well, locally, unfortunately, you have this incredibly tragic story out of Passaic, New Jersey overnight. So last... Just mentioning Passaic, New Jersey is tragic. Yeah. So three kids, I think all 10 years old, go into the Passaic River. This was about 630 last night. And the current, because of all the rain, it's already strong anyway in the Passaic, but because of all the rain we've had recently even stronger. The minute they get in, they can't swim to get out of it. One boy goes under right away. They found his... about 10 o'clock last night. And that 10-year-old, his sister, he pushed his sister to shore, basically saved his life as he died. So she made it to shore. And now there's a third person, a little girl, I think right around the same beach, 10 years old. They're back in the Passaic River this morning looking for that 10-year-old girl. So just a horrible night all around in Passaic. That is terrible. Yeah. Well, hopefully they find her, and she, I mean, I doubt she's going to be okay at this point, but. No, likely that's not going to have a good ending. I don't know if you saw this yesterday. Mayor Zohran Mamdani on the defense, as he was responding to reporters' questions about the criticism over not appointing any Jews to his 18-member committee that will recommend lawyers for New York City judgeships. I got bad news for it. It's actually 19 because you've got the chair. It's 18 plus 1. That is true. Now that you brought it up, let me play this. This was Elizabeth Forspan. on this show two days ago. She came on. I had a three-way phone conversation with author Idala started. Ida said, you got to talk to this girl, Liz. I said, about what? He said, well, there's no Jews on the committee. I said, really? So he had a three-way phone conversation, me, Ida, and Forrest Ban three days ago. And two days ago, Forrest Ban... Made her appearance on this show. We were first. Since then, she's done New York one, other shows, but we were first. And she talked about what you're going to tell us in a moment, Kristi Noem, which is 19 people on this tradition committee in the city, not one Jew. Leventthold, he got whacked. And Olme's going to play Zohran Mamdani's answer, why. But here's Forrest Man on the problem, Lewis. Cut number 10. Elizabeth Forcedman. I mean, we have this committee, the mayor's advisory committee on the judiciary. Right? We know mayors appoint judges, the criminal court, family court. I mean, the mayor of New York, it's a powerful position. And every mayor since Mayor Koch has had this committee.

that recommends and evaluates judges for the criminal courts and the family courts where which we have vacancies on and uh you know they list the mayors always listen to the chief judge they listen to other judges they take their recommendations and here we have the committee it's got 18 members plus the chair not a single jew wow not a single jew Not one, so you're about to tell us what the mayor had to say yesterday. Well, here's what the mayor said. In my six months of being the mayor, I've had the privilege of appointing a dozen qualified judges from a range of backgrounds, including Jewish judges. And I want to be clear that any suggestion that the composition of the advisory committee was motivated by religions. Well, hold on. Stop it right there for a second. He said, including Jewish judges, and he hasn't picked any. What do you mean? It's not about the... ethnicity or religion or he just said all these great qualified people including jews and he hasn't picked one jew born in 19 and to play into the stereotype just a little bit this is why sometimes stereotypes come from real life situations is about there's about 140,000 lawyers in new york city And it's believed anywhere from a third to a half of them are Jewish. Yeah. The Jews and the Italians are the best lawyers. I'm sorry if you're Irish out there, you're a lawyer. I'm sure you're terrific. But the Jews and the Italians are the best lawyers. That's it. Whether it's Alan Dershowitz, Jew, Joe Takapina, Italian, Arthur Ida, Italian, Daniel Rosenberg, Jew. Jews and Italians are the best lawyers. And the best cooks. So you'd have to almost go out of your way. to form an 18-member committee without somebody who's Jewish. Right. So the mayor is a lying, thieving anti-Semite. And, you know, this 9-11 thing was big again. I played this in the open. And now you got Patricia Heaton from everybody who loves Raymond on the cover of today's New York Post saying, Mr. Mayor, nobody wants you there, nobody. See, the problem is, and I made this point yesterday, a lot of the 9-11 families. They don't even like the day. In other words, they don't like when people talk about the day. I had a big fight with Adam Shepter. ESPN TV star years and years ago. He married a widow of 9-11. Her husband was killed at the World Trade Center. And he helped raise her daughter. Now they've got their own children. And he yelled to me one time. The season started on 9-11. This is years ago. I was still down in Florida. And I said, hey, Adam, and he was on every week. We were very, very close. I said, any significance that the season starts this Sunday on 9-11? And he actually said, Sid, I wish you guys in the media would stop. Us guys, the families, we don't want to talk about it. We don't want to see the planes hit the buildings. We don't want to talk about it. That's what you guys do. We don't do that. Mind you, I've spoken to many 9-11 families since, and Adam Schepter is not representative of the majority. They want us to never forget, like Frank Siller says. And if you stop talking about it, Adam, you moron, you forget about it. So I understand that you're butt hurt and you married a girl who went through it. You didn't. But the truth is, you got to talk about it, or you forget.

And people don't forget and they don't want this mayor down there. And I have been all over this. I think I've been at the very forefront of this. And I had the guy on who started the petition a couple of days ago. Very, very brave soul, Giovanni Galante. So President Trump actually talked about this yesterday about how 9-11 families don't want this jihad, radical jihad mayor down at that sacred soil. This Lewis is President Trump cut number eight. A good number of 9-11 families have called on New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani to not attend the number of these memorial services. What are your thoughts on that? Well, I think they're having a hard time with Zohran Mamdani. The people having to do with anybody having to do with 9-11 right now on the victim side, and there are a lot of them, they're very unhappy with what's going on in New York, and they're very unhappy with the mayor. Yeah, he's being nice, unhappy. We hate his guts. So what else you got on that, Noam? I think you have it all. What is that petition up to? When he was on with me, it went from 15,000 to 42,000. Yeah, it'll take me a second to find it. What other stories you have? Because it's been a 52-minute segment to open the show. I think we've, you know, you've covered most of the big ones. I mean, you had Bruce Blakeman yesterday at Penn Station talking to voters. And he said that... Basically, he wants Democrats in New York City. And he said he's going to spend a lot of time here who are upset with Zohran Mamdani to know that if you vote for him as governor, he will check make sure that Zohran Mamdani's kept in check. Yes, he made it very clear as a guest on this show yesterday before his Penn Station appearance, which we just talked about, that he's running against both. He's running against the incumbent governor, Kathy Hochul, and the mayor, Zohran Mamdani. Because he's a guy that can remove Zohran Mamdani, which he probably wouldn't do. But at the very least, you would hold Zohran Mamdani in check. I will say this. I realize that to win this election, and I've taken it upon myself to help Bruce, because I've got that type of influence in this city. Being honest, I'm not trying to come off as a dick. I'm being honest. And I've been told that, you know, the black vote, the Latino vote, we need to do a good job with that. When I say we, I'm talking about Bruce Blakeman. So I took it upon myself. We're going to love this, no, to call Rubin Diaz yesterday. I have never met Ruben Gallego Diaz. I have never spoken to Ruben Gallego Diaz. And when I got the number and made the call, I was sitting in an Uber thinking to myself, this guy may have no idea who I am. Or he may really not like me. I ran both of those things through my head and took that chance, Noam. And I got to tell you, I call him. He picks up the phone. I say, hey, it's Sid Rosenberg. He stops. I don't know who was with him, but he literally screams, oh my God, you know, who's on the phone, Sid Rosenberg. He was so happy to talk to me. I was really very, very humbled. And before we even talked about Bruce Blakeman or Zohran Mamdani or the vote, he said, Sid, I'm with you on Israel. I want to do something with Israel. I want to do a march, or at the very least, I want you to come to the Bronx and do a press conference. I want to stand beside you and show our solidarity for Israel. I'm like, wow. I go, Rubin, I just called you to, you know, to put something together for Bruce. We want the Hispanic vote. And at the end of the conversation, we talked about that. We're going to do something very, very big, very big. But he started off.

He was so happy to talk to me and he wants to do something with me on Israel. That was really cool. So I love Ruben Gallego Diaz. Just you know, No, you don't like him, but. No, Ruben Gallego's great. You sure? He's a great interview. He actually, you know, he does think Anthony Fauci is a terrible person. He probably does. Yeah. They still like him. He does do a great interview. And when Trump did that thing in the Bronx, in the park, when he was campaigning, because he had to go to court everything without loser Alvin Bragg, Ruben Gallego Diaz played a major wall in that, right? He did, yeah. Right, they were done, right? I mean, unless you care what happened in Iran overnight. I do. I've got about two minutes. Okay, so U.S. military launches this heavy wave of strikes against Iran. That was in retaliation for Iran's attempted attack on that U.S. base in Jim Jordan that happened Tuesday night. And so there was loud explosions, mostly in the southern part of Iran. Iran is accusing the U.S. of hitting a residential apartment building overnight. We don't know if that's true. And then this morning, there's vows of retribution from Iran's Revolutionary Guard. moves will remain closed and that they called the aggressor, meaning the U.S. will be punished at some point today. But the president, you know, yesterday he promised there was going to be a retribution of what happened in Jim Jordan and he followed through on it overnight. Just kill him. All last thing. Pat Russo checks in, the amazing cop. You know, the whole boxing thing. I love Pat Russo. And he just sent me the petition, 9-11. It is up to 49,000. So it's gone up 34,000. since he made an appearance on this show the last two days. Oh, we've got a big guest list coming up. Sid and Friends in the morning on the Red Apple Podcast Network. My daughter, who did a great job in Cardiff, at Cardiff, actually, in the United Kingdom, completing her three years of college studies. See, in Europe, first of all, it's cheaper than the American universities. Second of all, it's nicer, okay, even though my daughter was Docson made miserable. But you get to take on your actual profession in your studies. So you don't have to do four years of silly classes and four years of law school. Ava completed her law studies during her three years in Wales. But she does come home about 35 credits shy before she can take the bar. So it does require another bit of schooling. And she applied to some of the best law schools in the country for these final credits. And she got in to University of Pennsylvania, which is Yu's Nakhis for Daniel and I, huge Nakhis. What a great job by Eva. And today she goes. She'll be there till May. She'll take the bar next July. So today we head to Pennsylvania, which is great because unlike England... The United Kingdom, she could be home in an hour and a half. And I haven't said to Dave, I said, I'll come out to visit you quite a bit. I actually like to watch the Kay Ivey League play college basketball. So I'd like to watch Penn play Harvard or Penn play Yale. And the university is only a couple of minutes away from the home of the Philadelphia 76ers. And I would like to go see the Knicks take on the Bronn James and the Sixers in Philly.

But you can always get a ticket, even with this team. They got a great team. They got Jalen Brown. They got James. They got M.B. They got Maxie. So I said to Dave. I said, I'll come out there quite a bit. You'll come home quite a bit. So it's not as bad today, Noam, as those Sundays. But you will remember I would drop her at the airport with Danielle Sunday night. right after the football games, and I'd be crying for like three hours. Here, she could be home in like 90 minutes. You know Philadelphia, very well known. Yeah, I have a kid that went to the temple. Right there. Is it a temple right there? Yeah. Temple's North Philly, but not West Philly where she's going to school has become this great neighborhood. You'll like walking around. It's awesome, right? Yeah. She's got a really cool apartment, and they're going to be fun. She can't be that far from a temple or Villanova. No, no. It's like maybe 15 minutes of a ride or something like that. Right. So we go today and that's why I'm not going to be here tomorrow. I'll be back Monday. Oh, we'll take a break. When we get back, we start our first guest, I should say, with our first guest on this Thursday morning, comes highly recommended. His name is Gerard Marone. Again, I think he was with President Trump yesterday, big time attorney, and very upset with the way Zohran Mamdani talks about and treats the Italian community here in New York. We'll come back. Sid and Friends in the morning on the Red Apple Podcast Network. The ridiculous enclave map that the mayor put out a couple of weeks ago. But it turns out that Gerard making his debut on this program was actually at the Lindsey Graham funeral a couple of days ago and was there with President Trump. I don't know the relationship between Gerard and President Trump, so I'm curious to hear this. Gerard, good morning, buddy. How are you? I'm doing very well, Sid. Nice to talk to you. We have a lot of nice friends in common. Thank you for having me. Yeah, we do. I love our friends we have in common. I love him a lot. And, you know, I didn't know that you're at this Lindsey Graham funeral. I think one of them may have said to me that you know the president or you're friendly. So what is that relationship between you and President Trump? I'm an admirer of President Trump. He's, of course, a Queens native like I am. I grew up in Ridgewood, Queens. And I got to tell you, from Italian American perspective, I look at Trump when he was attacked by the government. You know, they chose the man and then they created the crime. And they've been doing that to Italian Americans for about 100 years. Our biggest enemy is the criminal justice system in Hollywood. I think you're right about that. And they never talk about the Italians. They talk about, obviously, my people, the Jews, and that's deserved it. African-Americans been through a lot. But they just seem to sweep the Italians aside. You guys have been the victims, like you said, of judicial wrongs and, you know, massacres and all of that. And then you get this idiotic mayor, idiotic's not even the right word, this hateful scumbag.

that decides he's going to redraw these immigration enclave maps. And he leaves off, not one, not one, but two little Italy. I think people forget, we have two of them. We've got one in Lower Manhattan, right down by Mulberry and Maude. And we got another one on Arthur Avenue in the Bronx. And this low-life hater left them both off. I know, Mr. Morone, that pissed you off, yes? It pissed me off, and it pissed off a lot of people. Let me give a little context. So we brought about four years ago, myself and a few colleagues brought back the original Italian-American Civil Rights League, the original Joe Colombo organization from the 1970. Oh, wait a second. So I didn't even know this. So the I, the I, the I, CRL, you're heavily involved with this? I'm the vice president. Oh, God bless you. I'm the vice president. God bless you. Go ahead. Yes, so a couple of years back, I was looking for a vehicle for, for, For basically to protect Italians, because I saw so much in justice, as a criminal defense attorney, I see it daily. I was doing a sentencing for one of my clients. And this is how it all started. And I said, I have to look for something. And that's when we brought it back. Doing a sentencing in Brooklyn federal court. And I'm telling the judge, judge, my client's been gainfully employed from the moment he left high school for the last 20 years. The judge says to me, you know, Mr. Moroni, I bet you there's a no-show job in there somewhere. Oh, my God. He actually said that in court? Yeah, and I, you know, I was shocked, and I had no words. And you got to watch himself with a federal judge. But then, you know, it hit me. And I got to do something. And I found the Italian-American Civil Rights League was a small, small little group. It was Roger Stone was involved. My Christie was involved and I joined them. And then we brought it to New York. And now we have chapters all over the East Coast. And actually, actually Anthony Colombo, who is Joseph Colombo's grandson, is an attorney in California. He's our chairman. So we have really a lot of the original members or family members. And a lot of the original members from the from the 70s are still our members today. That is fantastic. I had no idea. I like that. That's important. You know, I'm very good plans with... He's so, man, damn, he pissed off a lot of people. No, I know. I mean, I'm very good plans with Angelo Vivalo, and he's in charge of the Columbus Day parade, and he runs the Italian-American. I know he is. He's a wonderful, wonderful guy, Piscopo and all those guys, and I was in Central Park years and years ago with... Arthur Idala and Bo Dietl and Fiscopo and all these guys trying to make sure they didn't mess with the Christopher Columbus statue. And you know that not only did he leave all those communities off the map, but at one point this mayor, Ms. Maroni, actually walked by the Columbus statue and gave it the finger. Who does that? Yeah, he did. And we saw that about a year ago before he was elected. And we organized about, we must have had about three, four hundred members. And we knocked on his door. And we were in front of his office in Astoria, Queens, protesting in the street, letting him know that we didn't appreciate that and we didn't like that. Unfortunately, the majority of New York has decided to devote him in his mayor. So we're stuck with him. We're stuck with him for now.

For now, right. There's a lot that can happen in three years. So hopefully something happens and maybe somebody pops up that is worthy of winning the next election. And this guy's going to be gone because, again, as you know, Gerard, it's not just the Italians. It's everybody. He left the Irish off that map. He left the Germans. He left the Greeks. No Astoria Queens. You know, this is what I was thinking when I saw the map. And I said, I grew up in Queens. Okay, I'm a New Yorker. A lot of these people that are not even on that map, they're not New Yorkers. They're not native New Yorkers, right? So if you grow up in New York, you know that the Greeks are from Astoria. You know that the Jews are from Forest Hills. You know the Puerto Ricans are from Bushwick. That's New York. That's the kind of leadership we need. And if we don't have leadership in the mayor's office that does not unite us. Sid, we're in big trouble. So if our leadership is not uniting us, we have a big problem. And that's really my message for Italian-Americans to unite. And I always say, you mess with one of us, you mess with all of us. There's a lot of us now. And we've got to stick together. And it's not only Italian-Americans, because throughout history, the Italians have been close to the Jews, the Puerto Ricans, the Irish, the Greeks. We work with everybody. We respect everybody. But unfortunately, we have leadership in our city that... is purposely dividing us, in my opinion. No, I agree. There's no question. This is the big-time attorney Gerard Maroney, who just got back from the Lindsey Graham funeral. He was there with President Trump. You know, I had lunch with our mutual friends a couple of weeks ago. And I'll be honest, Gerard, I complained about the Italian community. I said, let me ask you something, guys. When I was a kid going to Poly Prep and Diker Heights, Bay Ridge was mostly Italian. My friends are still there. And yet when they have these pro-Hamas marches in Bay Ridge, I see 6,000 of these people marching. Bensonhurst, that's basically gone. You know, Howard Beach, they're stealing statues off the lawns, Ozone Park. All these communities that were rich Italian communities, a lot of Muslims are moving in, a lot of other folks are moving in, and maybe it was like that something, not wasn't. What the hell is going on the last couple of decades? And that's really the problem. We as a community, we don't unite. Our opposition unites. And that's the problem. And if we don't start getting together and speaking together, we're going to have a major problem. I mean, the mayor's office is, it doesn't, it hates Italians. I have to say it, he just hates Italian Americans. He might not come out and say it, but it's certainly like that in his actions. But not only Italians, he doesn't like the Jews. He doesn't like the Irish. He doesn't like the Greeks. It's clear. And we have to unite and we have to do something about it. We got to get somebody better in there. We have to get somebody that's going to represent all New Yorkers. 100%. So tomorrow you've got a big event, I think, in Little Italy. And my dear friend who I spent the whole day campaigning with two days ago, Bruce Blakeman will make an appearance. Gerard, tell me about that day tomorrow. Yes, yes. So tomorrow is a little bit of a victory for us. So we're going to be in front of Cafe Palermo in the Italian-American Museum on Mulberry Street from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. Bruce is coming down about 6.30. He's going to say some words for us.

He's very excited to support Italian Americans. Italian Americans as a community support Bruce. I'm going to have the pleasure to meet him for the first time tomorrow. And he's going to speak at our victory rally. We have a lot of Italians coming down to, you know, to show support and to just speak in the street and really show our unity. And, you know, and say, look, you know, we're here. We appreciate that the mayor's office. recognize us. I didn't see the map changed, to be honest with you. Not only should he add Italians, he should add Puerto Ricans, Jews, Greeks, Irish. There's a lot of people that he left off, and it's the wrong thing. But at least tomorrow was a little bit of a victory, and we're going to savor that tomorrow on Mulberry Street in Little Italy. You know, I grew up on Quentin Road in Brooklyn, and my next-door neighbor, a guy named Joseph Iavine, was... The Italian that every kid my age loved, great-looking guy and really great-looking. Had a Pontiac by a bird and... You know, his parents were, his father was a big time Italian attorney. He went to New Corners like five nights a week. You know what I'm talking about. And Joseph used to take me out. I was an 80-pound, asthmatic, skinny, geeky Jewish kid, and he had all the pretty girls. And I just wanted to be Italian my whole life. I swear to God. And then I saw a Saturday Night Bieber. I'm like, oh, come on. I want to be Tony Minero. I used to yell at my parents. Yeah, I used to yell at my parents and go, Mommy, Daddy, how can you do this to me? Sidney Ferris, Rosenberg, you're killing me. And really, that stuck with him. with me until October 7th since then I've been an animal Jew. But I've always loved the Italian people. The contributions you guys have made to this city. I mean, damn it, you found this damn country. Enough with this nonsense. You found the country. You make amazing contributions to this city, whether it's culture, music, or the food, I nobody could. Italian food I could eat seven nights a week. So when you say this victory party tomorrow in little Italy, what exact... victory are you celebrating well the fact that this this mayor recognized that he made a mistake i mean he blamed it on the the the prior administration which i don't believe is true i think it's an excuse but it's a victory where at least he conceded the fact that yes he's going to put the italians on the map so we we deserve to be on the map we made the map And that's the victory. Finally, listen, we reached out to him and social media. I always say the pen is mired than the sword. And we reached out on social media and we went viral. And within 24 to 48 hours, he had a press conference and he said, you know, the map is wrong. It's not inclusive of everyone and we're going to add Italian Americans to the map. And that for us was a major victory because in the past, us as Italian Americans, we're not united. And finally, finally, we're under one flag. Unfortunately, Italians, a lot of times there's jealousy and energy, just like other ethnic groups. But that's starting to come to an end because now people are seeing that there's really an enemy that we have against us.

And if we don't preserve our culture, our way of life, family, our values, then you know what? In a generation or two, we're gone. We're going to disappear. So now is the time really to get together, stay strong, unite, come out to Little Italy tomorrow, meet Bruce, meet all of our supporters, and just celebrate, have some good food. see Baby John at Cafe Palermo go in front of the museum. And just remember, you've got to remember, everyone that's in this country today, an ancestor, some courageous person came from the other side, came from Europe, right, with nothing in their pocket. And that's what binds all of us, is that courage that one of our ancestors came here, that entrepreneurial spirit, that fearless spirit. And that's who we are. That's the immigration. It's the hardworking immigrant. The person that came here with nothing but a dream and busted their butt and raised the family and did well. And that's what binds all of us. Everyone in this country, everyone in the city of New York has that common threat, has that common denominator. And we can't forget that. And we can't forget that person that came from Italy to give us a better life. Well, you just said it perfectly. His vile wretched wife, one of my favorite songs ever is Mala Femina. His wife is exactly that, that evil woman. I got to tell you, George, I loved having you on. I look forward to meeting you. And I would be there tomorrow, but I'm taking my daughter to college in Pennsylvania. But I will meet you and bring you back on the show all the time. Excellent job this morning. Thank you so much. God bless you. Welcome forward to it. Thank you. Take care. That is attorney Gerard Maroney making his debut, and he was terrific right here on Sid and Friends in the morning. Sid and Friends in the morning on the Red Apple Podcast Network. While Rand Paul, I'm not a huge fan of, I'm not afraid to say it. I did think he did a tremendous job yesterday, tremendous out of Kentucky. The guy that I really love, you guys know this, he's on the show all the time, is Wisconsin Senator Ron Johnson. He did a tremendous job yesterday as well, tremendous. He's been all over the issues with the vaccines. And ever since President Trump got shot in Butler, Pennsylvania, On that day, I was in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. I was there already for the RNC. And I started the relationship with Ron Johnson. And I got to tell you, he's one of the best people we've got serving. So let me start with this, Ron Johnson. Heck of a job yesterday. Didn't get what you wanted, obviously, but heck of a job yesterday. Well, the morning, you're making me blush. But no, I agree. I think, I think Chairman Paul did a great job. I told people in the hearing, you know, I hope every American listens to his opening statement because it just is devastating.

turned Anthony Fauci. We've known this. We have. I mean, ever since the emails emerged really about those phone calls in late January, early February, it was obvious that Anthony Fauci was covering up to his funding of gain and find. gain of function research that probably caused the producing coronavirus and caused a pandemic. So Rand laid that out great. I mean, I think Holly devastated him talking about the fact that Anthony Fauci used government's employees, his devices, the government's property to solicit. awards over a million dollars while millions of people were dying from his coronavirus and his gene therapy injections. So again, I think, I know people want him to go to jail. He's 85 years old. That's probably not going to happen. But the first step of accountability and a major step is exposing the truth and for a megal maniacal narcissist like Anthony Fauci being exposed. and being humiliated the way he had to be humiliated yesterday is probably the worst punishment you could really meet out to him. I agree with you, but there was no accountability because he elected to plead the fifth 111 times. You know, me, you know, if I'm innocent and I didn't do all these things that you guys are accusing me of in my diary, wherever else. I'm yelling and screaming. Now, I know you run the risk of perjury. I'd go into jail at the age of 85. You don't want to do that. But I would run that risk. If I'm innocent, if I didn't do anything wrong, I'd be yelling and screaming. So to me, yes, you guys held him accountable yesterday, but he had an opportunity to become accountable himself. And at the same time, kind of erase a lot of all these theories out there, which of course are true. And he didn't do it. What does that tell you? I think Josh Hawley had a great lie. He said nothing says innocent like pleading the fifth. Right. But he was, you know, Foucher was putting a rock in a hard place because if he told the truth, he would further incriminate himself. He would just display the American public really how awful he truly is. So he had remained silent because he told the truth. If he actually didn't tell the truth, then he's going to set him up for more legal jeopardy in terms of perjuring himself. So he really couldn't tell the truth. He really couldn't not tell the truth. So he did what his lawyers told him, which was to plead the fifth. And again, I thought we did, you know, all of us because we organized our efforts. We each had our kind of each lane. We had different types of questions. So we weren't asking the same thing over and over again, which happens sometimes he's hearing. So everybody. picked up a different theme, whether it was the awards. You know, Rand really centered on, you know, just the lies about his, his funding of the gain of puncture research. Rick Scott did David Morins, you know, what his aides that destroyed records. And again, just did a really good job of exposing all of it. And, you know, there's no defense. So he just laid up all the evidence and anybody with an unbiased eye would walk away going.

This is a really bad person. You did a great job, too, with the chart. You had the chart there with all the different medications, even Tylenol. That was yours. And I love what you did, too. And you're right, you guys all presented different cases. The thing with him was, you know, not only did he provide the gain of function research, not only did he lie time and time again, kept talking about it, jump from an animal to a human. He knew that it was creating a lab. He knew that the whole time. So he lied about all that. But then when you look at what he did afterwards, Ron Johnson, again, he was so excited that Bill de Blasio, the worst mayor in the history of this country. Till Zohran Mamdani came along, okay? But the worst mayor ever, he was so excited that de Blasio was paying attention to him and listening to him when he told him to create a whole generation of morons because he kept our kids home. He was so excited about that, right? And then the vaccines. So as if it wasn't bad enough that he lied about the COVID-19 origins, what he did afterwards, Ron Johnson was every bit as bad. He was absolutely drunk with power, and he used that power to destroy people's lives, destroy the economy. One of the most telling things is not getting much coverage in his diary. He basically admits that it's probably going to be no worse than double a bad flu season, which is bad. I mean, I'm not going to downplay that. I mean, if you're elderly, you had to be concerned about COVID. But then publicly, you know, he was talking about case fatality rates 10 times worse than a bad food season. So just like AIDS, remember when he overhyped that? And, you know, I said that early in the pandemic. I got just, you know, creamed by the media for all. Both he didn't overhite AIDS. Yes, he did. Remember, he said, well, you got to be careful about household transmission. No, he didn't have to worry about that. So he scared that, you know what out of people about AIDS, which again is a serious disease, but it's not airborne. You're not going to catch you in your household. Okay, did the exact same thing with COVID. And as a result, got all this power, shut down the economy, destroyed people's lives, destroyed their businesses, then pushed what he always wanted. He said this in a Milken Institute event panel with Rick Bright. They would be moaning the fact that we don't have the universal vaccination campaign. The flu season just isn't forcing everybody to take a vaccine. We need a pandemic. Well, by God, two months, three months later, he got his pandemic. And he sabotaged early treatment, whether it's hydrochloricloric, whether it's iratein. And by the way, in his diary, he talks about that as well. So, well, Hydroxspercman, it's an approved drug. Yeah, there's some issues with safety signals. But, you know, we understand hydroxypercine. We need to be careful with Rundesivir. And then they pushed, you know, two months later, he's pushing around death severe, which nurses, by the way, called run, death is near. Oh, yeah. Okay. I mean, no, I mean, there's, there are so many things. I could have, and by the way, hopefully we will be questioning him for hours and hours. I've invited him. If he doesn't come, I'll subpoena him. And even if he comes in and takes the fifth.

He'll sit there for hour after hour and we will lay out the case. We will document it in transcribed interview and we'll lay out all this evidence. Not just in the three hour hearing, you know, where it's not as well organized as a transcribed interview. And then we'll write a report and then history will be able to judge Anthony Fauci. You know, Ron Johnson, the amazing senator from Wisconsin, I took two booster shots. I had a choice. I'm sorry, I know people. Yes, you did, with all that choices. I lived in Manhattan. I worked in Manhattan. I couldn't go to a restaurant. I couldn't fly to Miami to go see my mother. I couldn't go to a ball game. So I really had no choice. I wanted to live. I don't want to sit at home every single day and cooped up. So I got it. And I got that stupid card like the Nazis handed out back in the 1930s. And it made me nauseous. Just going there to get it, holding the card. I hated every second of it. But I decided I wanted to live in Manhattan, not just stay inside my apartment all day long, okay? But I do respect the people that didn't. But now we come to find that the vaccines over the years have caused some very serious health problems. And you, Ron Johnson, you've been at the very forefront of that in Congress, talking about it for the last year. Where are we in that endeavor? Well, I held a hearing the plausible mechanisms for these COVID injections to cause cancer. It's very unfortunate. It's continued to be covered up. The doctor, Dr. Wafik-Eldeary, you know, director of oncology at Brown University, they're destroying his career just for publishing, you know, the case studies at 300 where he shows a plausible mechanism. So again, we're still in a society-wide global state denial on these things. But to provide people comfort, you know, the... About 80% of adverse events occur with about 5% of the lot. So I personally think they were hot lots. I don't think there was good control over the manufacturing of this. I'm manufactured. You see something that out of control. You know, so I think a lot of these... shots that were given just didn't have all that much MRNA activated. Remember you had to freeze these things down to 90 degrees below zero. Yep. Do you really think Walgrey, the CVS, were keeping them that cold before the injected? So, I mean, that's kind of maybe a blessing. They didn't control this very well, so you maybe didn't have as much MRNA in some of these injections, and maybe there's an over amount in some of them. So, again, that's kind of what I hope, because, listen, I know people who got the shot. I've got family members who got the shot. Again, you were coerced. If you weren't mandated, you were coerced into it or convinced by their lives. So I feel really bad. Fortunately, I talked to Michael Eden. There was no way I was going to get that experimental gene therapy. I tried to tell everybody I knew. I couldn't do it publicly because I'm not a doctor. I'm not a medical researcher, but that's why I was following veers, unlike the people who were in charge of our safety surveillance system, we're starting to interview these people.

It looks like they didn't even pay attention to it. No. What they saw, they just denied. And their whole, their whole motivation here was not to create vaccine hesitancy. Buried these safety signals so that Biden could issue this mandate. They can get it approved. They can mandate to the finest among us are military. And then fire, you know, discharge of people who refuse to take it. So no, I mean, we have to have a COVID reckoning. We have to remember. what they did to us. Yeah. So it never happens again. Oh, so well said, Ron. And you're right. They coerced people and they intimidated people and they fired people and made people miserable. So you are doing some really amazing work here. I have to say you're doing just amazing work. Sid and Friends in the morning on the Red Apple Podcast Network. So I think everybody was captivated yesterday with that circus that took place on the hill, despite Rand Paul's best efforts. I don't like Rand Paul. I've said it over and over again. I think he's basically a Trump traitor. But... Yesterday in the Anthony Fauci hearing, he was nothing short of brilliant. Prepared, noody was talking about, and nailed Anthony Fauci to the wall. We all know what happened, watching, watching, watching for hours, and Anthony Fauci over 100 times. Listen to me carefully. I know you heard this a bunch of ready this morning. Over 100 times took the fifth. Why? Because he had nothing to say. Because it is clear. based upon what he wrote in his diary, that he's a liar, he's a fraud. You can make an argument he's a murderer, right? I mean, people died. He turned a whole generation of our kids into morons. I'll say it. A lot of our kids are morons, and it was all worth it because people like Gavin Newsom and Bill de Blasio and Barbara Streisand and Milakunis, all loved them. He was a popular guy. He goes from famous to infamous. And now, as Ted Cruz pointed out, I played this earlier, maybe public enemy number one, maybe forever, here in the United States. What a disaster yesterday was. Let's talk to my guy. It follows me each and every weekday morning right here on 77 WABC at 10 a.m. does an amazing job on Fox and Friends every morning. And that's his own great show. I love it. One Nation, 10 p.m. Sunday nights, Brian Kilmeade, Brian, with the attorney getting kicked out and all the, I'm not talking Fifth Amendment stuff, yesterday, unfortunately, turned out to be a circus. Yeah, I mean, what did I learn from that? What I learned is he got a million dollar prize. He made nine separate people apply for these awards during the pandemic. What do we learn from that? The whole 1,100 pages is his diary. Sid, to be on the air doing what we're doing, to be President of the United States, you got to have a healthy ego and self-confidence. There's nothing wrong with that. You know, if there was a profile on Sid Rosenberg, at Time Magazine, if you were keeping a diary, I'm not sure you are. You might have a full-time biographer who lives with you, who's going to eventually release a documentary along with it.

But, you know, you might say, hey, it's kind of cool to be on the cover of Time magazine. This guy was obsessed with himself. He was obsessed with celebrity like a teenage girl. Julia John Roberts likes me. Barbara Streisand, I taught her how to use an Alexa. Brad Pitt played me on television. Meanwhile, we have the worst mortality rate pound for pound in the world. People are dying. And I went crazy on this. Sid, I don't know how often I was on with you back then. But... I was saying, did he just say wear a mask, not wear a mask? Did he just say if you have a vaccine, don't wear a mask? Did he just say if you have a vaccine, you can't get an infection? Did he just say six feet apart or else being irresponsible? Did he just deny that he said six feet apart and anything to do with it? Did he say shut down the schools? It's not, it don't have Christmas, don't have Hanukkah. No, no, he never said that. Then he said, I never said six feet apart. We have everything he contradicted himself. We have it on tape. And then knowing that he wrote down the truth. It wasn't a mistake. He didn't give a bad interviewer or say something by, you know, say something he regrets. He wrote down the truth and it all starts with the origins of the virus. If we know where it started, we knew how to stop it, but he wouldn't let us know where it started. And then he sat there and tried to undermine Trump on a regular basis, leaked out things about what was going on behind the scenes. In the middle of an election, it made Donald Trump seem like he wasn't in control. And then we have Joe Biden, an adult. By his well said and done with the vaccine, more people died under Joe Biden and Anthony Fauci than died under Trump when we didn't even know what hit us and what was about to swamp us. And even the ventilators were killing people. So he bragged about telling de Blasio, I convinced him he shut down the city. And I think about what, how much damage that he did, how many relationships kids don't have today, how many friendships that don't exist. I know four or five people that had to leave college. sports you know I'm not talking about they were going pro but you love it when you're playing it and then they said get a vaccine or quit and even my nephew. They said, last going to his senior year of soccer, about to get a degree from a military academy. They said, get a vaccine. He said, no, they said, you are gone. So he had to go weight tables, apply to a Florida college, and then go lose 60 credits and take another year and a half of school. Because Anthony Fauci made crap up. I'm not saying the vaccine wasn't effective for some, but it wasn't necessary for help. healthy people, and it certainly wasn't necessary for toddlers, and he is still being worship like idiots from Andy Kim of New Jersey. I just want to thank you for all you did for the country. How dare you say that? That was grotesque. Andy Kim, though, is a complete jerk off. I'm going to say it. You can't say that on Box. I can. As we know, I say whatever I want on Box. I know nothing about him. I'm so you don't. But, you know, you mentioned people who lost their jobs and...

You know, I got a kick out of watching Eric Adams these days. I know you liked them, and I'm here to remind you every day that for three quarters of his stay as mayor, he was terrible. Not bad, terrible. The city was a mess. Pro Hamas running everywhere. Veterans on park benches, homeless on park benches, illegals in five-star hotels, crime out of control, four different police commissioners, corrupt police department. And his whole administration basically should have gone to prison. It was a... mess only because he had Bill de Blasio before him and he's got this animal since. Does he come up looking good? But you know that Eric Adams let go of a lot of, a lot of city workers, very brave city workers while he allowed people like Kyrie Irving and Aaron Judge to play sports, they never got their jobs back. They begged Adams until the day he left. They never got their jobs back. You know that, right? No, I did not know that. And it seems like ancient history. But you know the one thing I'd say about Eric Adams? He was a politician. And you can disagree and not disagree. I don't want to set you off. But I don't know what this mayor is. He's not a politician. No, no, he's an animal. He's got an agenda. So, you know, I'm used to being saying lazy, good, right? You know, very conservative, very liberal. But I don't know what this guy is. His current mayor is. So I had Eric Adams on Will Kane Show. I substituted this week, Monday and Tuesday. So I think he was on Monday or Tuesday one of those days. And I'm able to talk to him. I have no interest in talking to the head of the socialist society, the DSA. I have no interest in talking to this candidate over in Wisconsin that's a vowed socialist that I was about to get the Democratic nomination or Abdul El-Sayed, who pretends not to be but is over in Michigan. And this guy who's looking for reparations, he's looking to tax the rich, he's looking to drive people like John Castamette's out of business by having gubs and subsidize food stores, whatever. that's going to turn out to be. It's going to be, I think, an empty warehouse full of expired food. But I mean, I'll take Eric Adams and controversial decisions any day over this guy. Yeah, but that's not the barotap or something good. You're right. So would I? In fact, I'm hoping that Eric Adams can help Bruce Blakeman and maybe with the African-American community and help us in that respect. But saying that you take him over this guy, that's not a barometer. It's the same thing with Bill de Blasio. I'll take him over a Bill de Blasio. That's not a barometer. want you to be able to compare Eric Adams to Giuliani or Bloomberg. That's a good mayor. Not saying, oh, he's better than Bill. He's better than Zohran Mamdani. So what? And the latest Zohran Mamdani, I guess, controversy is a couple of days ago. By the way, I saw your interview on the Volcano show with Eric Adams. It was excellent. It was excellent. But a couple of days ago, I had a guy in my show named Giovanni Galante. Giovanni's wife at the age of 29 was murdered in the South Tower on 9-11. And he started. This man started the petition to keep Zohran Mamdani away from that sacred soil as we get set to commemorate 25 years this September. Now, just so you know, Brian, right after we celebrated July 4th, I shifted my focus on this show to 9-11. I have played a 9-11 clip every single day since July the 6th, every single day. So this guy obviously tugged at my heart. I put him on the show a couple days ago.

When he came on, there's about 15,000 signatures. Now there's close to 50,000 signatures. I agree that this mayor has no right. A mayor that's friendly with Hasan Piker, who said America deserved 9-11. A mayor that helped Chevalier win a primary. She said America deserved 9-11. A mayor taking smiling selfies in the street with a cleric, who was a co-conspirator in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing. He has no right being there, and the families don't want him there. They all won't say it because they're afraid of political repercussions, but they don't want them there. Even President Trump mentioned it yesterday. So I want this guy as far away as possible. I think he's still going to be there, but I don't want him there. How do you feel? I would love for him not to go. I mean, he doesn't show up when a cardinal gets changed, first time in history, over at St. Patrick's Cathedral, doesn't show up at the Puerto Rican Day parade, doesn't show up for the Israeli Day parade. He goes in primaries, the Hispanic leader, who, you know, Espelada, you know nothing about him except for a Democratic side. So he goes after every ethnic group. And then he goes after rich, some most successful New Yorkers on a regular basis and now this next tax. So on 9-11, when he won't even... condemn the words, globalize the infantata. If he's not going to condemn those words, what makes you think that he's going to condemn, he legitimately condemns the attack? So why is he going to make a stand and show up at this event when he doesn't really show up at any other events except for, you know, inviting that Khalid guy from Colombia over to celebrate a Muslim holiday over at Gracie Mansion? I'd love for him not to show up, but I think he will. You know, so a couple of things I also see that on the cover of the New York Post today, that one of the stars of Everyone Loves Raymond, she has come out and says she is asking him not to show up. So we're going to see a lot of other people who are going to just say Patricia Heaton who are going to say, you know, stay away. But I just don't want him to be the story. My worry is when he shows up, he's going to be the story, when he doesn't show up, he's going to be the story, when it should be about. you know, Frank Siller. And it should be about those people that lost loved ones and everything that's happened since. Yeah, really Stephen Siller, Frank's brother who died in very heroic fashion that day. You're exactly right. And that's what Peter King said on this show yesterday. Let's not make it about this creep, this mayor. So either way, one way or the other, we've got to get through this petition and this outcry from the city to stay away and then focus on what's really important. I mentioned President Trump. and Brian Kilmeade, and, you know, there he was yesterday talking about this 9-11 controversy with Zohran Mamdani. A couple days ago, Lindsey Graham's funeral, had the chance to meet with both. B.Benjamin Netanyahu, good meeting. I know he was upset that Benjamin Netanyahu told everybody that I told you about Pickax Mountain, and Trump denied that, but he did, but he did. Then he met with Volodymyr Zelensky, so a pretty big week for President Trump in terms of meeting with the two guys, really only the two kinds.

conflicts that are left out there because President Trump has pretty much resolved everything else. It's what a consequential week. I mean, we get the Russian sanctions. I'm big into Ukraine. I'm in awe that now they're giving us more technology. They're giving us anti-the-share anti-dron defense. They're able to form 500 defense contracting companies. within the middle of a war, and now they're saying to America, if you give us a license to make patriots, for every hundred we make, we'll give you back 20. Because we're making to 600 a year. They can make 600 in three weeks. I mean, what Ukraine has done, they have become the ally that we wanted NATO to become. They're saying, let me tell you, here's the technology that Russia's using to relay to Iran. I'm in awe of Volodymyr Zelensky, all these people on the right that said he was a criminal and he's getting rich off this war and that Russia was right. They had no choice. Please know how stupid you are. And please understand that in the end, they will be writing about this era. Ukraine will be our premier ally who does substantial things for it, not even lip service, substantial things for us. And I just think the President of the United States, when it comes to this war in Iran, no more of these, I'm going to hit you back. Just take them out or leave. This does not work. We have four or five plans that are on the table. And the president, I talked to people that have looked at it, they say they're excellent. They could really bring them to their knees and damage them legitimately. IRGC will be the target. We can't keep dancing on the edges because the longer it lasts, the stronger Iran, even though they're getting weaker, the stronger they look. and the closer it gets to the midterms, and the president will pay the price for no reason for confronting an enemy that other president decided it was too hard to do. This president says, nobody's going to do it after me. I'm going to take it on. So, Mr. President, call the IDF in. finish these guys off. And guess who also wants to fight? Saudi Arabia and Kuwait. NUAA, arm up, ready to go. Saudis are flying. Let's just do it. It'll be worse before it gets better. But if we start today, we'll be done with this by the first second week in August, but not what we're doing now. Couldn't agree more. I said the same thing on my controversial Fox News TV appearance on Saturday. And I've been getting hammered the last five days by Glenn Greenwald and Alex Jay Jones. And Joe Kent, General Michael Flynn. Yeah, what an honor. These losers that are really traitors at this point that are taking Trump to task for doing what he's doing. And you know, Brian, I am in lockstep with you. I've been saying for months, for months, what you just said just now, quite frankly, and I love him to death, President Trump should have done over two months ago. It's enough already. Last one, Brian Kilmeade.

I'm taking my daughter today to the University of Pennsylvania. She's starting UPenn Law School on Monday. Very exciting. She finished her undergraduate work at UK, of course, at Cardiff University in Wales. But my daughter grew up a big-time tennis player on Boca Raton. You've got kids, big-time soccer players and athletes. So Brian Kilmeade, to you, is Sophie Cunningham a hero? Absolutely. Unbelievable. The bodyguard? for Caitlin Clark, who is a fantastic player. By the way, a fantastic singer. Have you heard of sing? Yes. So now she's got a shoe out, a sneaker out that's sold out. And then she doubles and dribbles down and says, oh, by the way, the common sense, men shouldn't be in women's locker rooms and trans men should not be in women's sports. And the Seattle owner of the WNBA franchise saw two fans of Sophie Cunningham who were wearing the XXXY shirt. which is symbolic for the same thing. And they said, you know, basically you disgust me. And this was overheard. And now she's been suspended. But imagine going to a WNBA game to support Sophie Cunningham wearing a shirt and then being told by the owner of the other team, you disgust me. So this is, that's Seattle, though, by the way. That's Seattle. But how irresponsible. And these people just keep playing into it. She becomes a bigger and bigger star. Couldn't agree more. I love it too. And I love Caitlin Clark. And the league is racist. That's the bottom line. These black girls are beating up on Caitlin Clark, and it took a white girl in Sophie Cunningham to come to the rescue. Okay, three days away from the big show, the big one coming up on Sunday night, my favorite cable show, One Nation on Fox News. What are we looking at, Brian? Well, first off, I've got to tell you, October 17th in Westbury Music Fair, do not forget Brian Kilmeade.com, so it'll be there. I'm going to salute America in a fun, entertaining way. So it's going to be streamed on Fox Nation, but I want to meet you in person. Saturday, Sunday, Jim Jordan's going to be with us. Jimmy Fail is going to be there. Douglas Brinkley, and what exactly is communism? Is this the root from socialism? What exact, why should we not blow up the Senate? Why should we not blow up the Supreme Court in the Defense Department? Douglas Brinkley brings us back into the creation of the Constitution. and why this cannot stand. I'm all for making the country better, but that will be destroying the country. But I want a historian's perspective. And then we're going to find out how to lead the Green Beret way with Lieutenant Colonel Schaefer. So he's Green Beret. We've got a couple of slots to fill. We're still looking at a few people. But it's going to be a big show Sunday at 10 p.m. Brian, of the absolute best. Well, you're doing the radio show after me every day, your morning slot on Fox and Friends, your own amazing show, One Nation. You're a great talent. this, an even better guy. I do love you. And I will stay within myself. I'll be quiet this weekend. I'll be spending three days with my wife and my daughter in Pennsylvania. So not a lot of fanfare after what I went through on Saturday, the last three or four days, with millions and millions of hits. I was trending number three on Twitter on Saturday night across the world that actually said Sid Rosenberg, United States. So I had trouble staying within myself over the weekend. But this weekend, completely different story. But, see, if you know staying within yourself, that is within yourself. That's what Sid does. If you were calm over the weekend, that's not what Sid does. So it's like if you score goals, don't tell me, don't become a setup man. Sid, you score goals. That's it. You got to be yourself, all right?

Thanks a lot, Sid. Go get him. Finish up strong. Thank you, buddy. That's the great Brian Kilmeade follows me each and every weekday morning right here at 10. Box and Friends and 10 p.m. Sunday nights, One Nation Fox News. Great, great show. Trust me. Make sure you watch it. We'll take a short break. Still lots more. Do you. Joseph Takapina, Bill O'Reilly, and Clay Travis. All that and more is still to come. Thursday edition. Sid and Friends in the morning. on the Red Apple Podcast Network. Three great guests still are coming up, Joseph Takapina, Bill O'Reilly, and Clay Travis are watching Wiley Gaines on Fox News right now talking to Ainsley about Sophie Cunningham and how the Seattle Storm co-owner has been suspended and fined for allegedly cursing out these young Sophie Cunningham band. Soapie's out there every day. trying to protect female athletes like Raleigh Gaines does. So shame on the co-owner of the Seattle Storm, that moron. And her name is Ginny Gilder. And congratulations to Sopi Cunningham. We'll talk to Clay Travis later. One quick note before Takapino. I think I told you guys this. Our charity that Danielle and I started, inspired by our son, Gabriel, who was diagnosed with dyspraxia as a little boy. Disproxia, DCD America.org, dysproxia, DCD America.org. Kicked off this charity years ago. COVID kind of put a real stop to it. But now it's up and running, and Danielle's doing amazing work. Holds these big seminars at Bob Gluck, Hofstra University. Thank you so much. Other places around the world that we're set to go to Cardiff in England sometime in the fall and really making a difference. for what are millions and millions of people who have this proxia. So I went to Randy Levine, my friend, who's the president of New York Yankees, and I said, you know, my buddy Vinnie Viola down in Florida held a big night during a Florida, ironically hockey game two years ago. He held this proxia night in Florida. And he invited me and Danielle and Gabriel and Ava and all these people down. And we raised a lot of money. Vinnie Viola wrote us a very big check, the Florida Panther organization. They had a 50-50 rappel that night. They gave us half the money. We walked out with a very big check. I said, Randy, the Yankees, this is perfect. He said, Sid, you got it. And Randy Levine is a man of his word. He's a great guy, super guy. So coming up on October the 22nd, when the Yankees host Toronto, Yankees Blue Jays in the Bronx. We are selling, not selling, auctioning off tickets, and the money goes to the charity. Now, there's only 22 tickets available. It'll be inside a suite, one of Randy's suites at Yankee Stadium. The minimum bid is $500, but that's for two tickets. All right, so you've got a pair of tickets for $500. The money goes to the charity. Only 22 tickets available. And if you want to go and raise money for a terrific cause, My son Gabriel, of course, still has it. Will forever, and millions of other kids around the world and adults have it too. You call right now 1-800-890-98. That's 800-890-98. You place your bid. Again, we start at 500 for two tickets, August 22nd, when the Yankees take on the Toronto Blue Jays. And let me thank all of you people in advance.

for helping Danielle and I with this very, very worthy cause. It's becoming more and more. popular. When I say popular, I mean, people know more and more about it because of the hard work Danielle is done. And Gabe is beloved, of course, all across New York. So we wake up every day trying to figure out how to help these people, and this is going to be a great day at Yankee Stadium. We'll take a break when we get back. He's been a friend of mine for 48 years. The best defense attorney anywhere in the world, the great Joseph Takapina. Sid and Friends in the Morning on the Red Apple Podcast Network. Elizabeth Borsman. I mean, we have this committee, the mayor's advisory committee on the judiciary. Right? We know mayors appoint judges, the criminal court, family court. I mean, the mayor of New York, it's a powerful position. And every mayor since Mayor Koch has had this committee that recommends and evaluates judges for the criminal courts and the family courts, which we have vacancies on. And, you know, they list the mayors always listen to the chief judge. They listen to other judges. They take their recommendations. And here we have the committee. It's got 18 members plus the chair. Not a single joke. They all love this guy, Leventhal. And the mayor's excuse this morning. We did play. In fact, let me play it now. I know Taka Pina's waiting. But let's play the mayor's excuse while Levinthol was rejected. Again, the mayor never rejects these people. Never does. But he found a way to reject this guy. He was his excuse. Lewis, it's cut number 12. We decided not to move forward with his appointment because of the fact that he served on Ghislaine Maxwell's legal defense team. Wait a second. Even Ghislaine Maxwell in this country gets somebody to defend her, right? That's our judicial system. Okay. Even the worst of the worst, right? That's why they have defense lawyers. It's not his, not up to him to decide what's okay, what's not. And we don't believe him anyway. Leventhal is Jewish. That's why he did not get in. Joe Takapena's Italian. But I think he was Bar Mitzvitt. It's kind of odd. I don't know. Here he is, the great defense attorney, my friend, to 48 years, Joseph Takapina. Is there any doubt in your mind, Joseph, that the mayor jumped in, which he never does in these cases, ever, and vetoed the Leventthall pick because Leventhal is Jewish? Zero doubt, Sid, and I'm on fire at 8.50 in the morning. Yes. Usually I'm not on fire until about 9.30. But 8.50, which is when the court starts, you know. But this has gotten me. This one is disgusting. It's blatant. It's anti-Semitism. And more importantly, it's damn dangerous. Okay. John Levins, I know John. Great, great guy. I mean, clearly someone we want on the bench. Okay. No question. He has not been excluded because he represented an unpopular client. First of all, that's a dangerous line to cross. And whoever suggested that, I heard that quote from City Hall. That is the most repulsively unintelligent thing I've ever heard when it comes to determining qualifications. What the great lawyers do in this country? We don't choose our clients based on whether they're popular or not popular. We defend the Constitution of the United States of America by showing that everyone, even the most reviled defendant, receives.

competent legal representation. That's what we're commanded to do, okay? The principle is the fundamental bedrock of our justice system, Sid. So punishing a lawyer for representing someone who was, you know, when I first heard it, I thought the suggestion was he was like on the island with Epstein. But the fact, that's right, that's exactly, Sid, I'm not even kidding you. You're right. Because there's no way I thought, okay, because he represented someone who's unpopular. Therefore, he's going to be disqualified. I mean, you moron. Oh, so by the way, is there any doubt if the person was named, I don't know, El Sharari, and he was a lawyer, and he represented one of the 9-11 bombers or one of the terrorists who committed one of these atrocious acts? Is it? He's in. I mean, would they ever, ever, ever cite that, right? So it's, you know, it's really every person who's choosing of a crime's entitled to lawyer. That's not a loophole. That's one of the cornerstones of our justice system. The Sixth Amendment doesn't only apply to popular people, okay? So it's so, so outrageous. It gets me so crazy. I have to tell you, I've just not heard this before. And they said, like, that could be the reason, but you come up with a fake reason. Like you say something like, I don't know, he wears. Pink shoes. Whatever it is. The number is, right, the number is 0 for 19. So no matter what you're going to say, you look bad. It's 0 for 19, 140,000 Jewish lawyers and most of any ethnic group, not one, not one. That's even another. That's even another. I'm just talking about 11th, the denial based on, their stated reason is one of the most outrageous things. Ridiculous. So, you know, you mentioned 9-11, and earlier this week, I had a gentleman on this show, and he was great. His name is... What was it? Giovanni Galante, okay? So his wife at the time, Stacey was 29 years old. She went to work in the South Tower, and she was murdered and died in those buildings. So this brave gentleman. decided Giovanni to start a petition. You don't want the mayor, doesn't want the mayor down at that side. Either do I. A man that's friends with Hasan Piker, a man that's endorsing Chevalier who said America deserved 9-11, a man that takes smiling selfies in the street with clerics that were co-conspirators in the bombing of the buildings in 1993. Of course, doesn't belong there. And the families don't want him there. Not every family says it because they're afraid of political repercussion when he may do to them, but none of those families want them there. So this guy comes on the show, and he's got about 15,000 signatures at the time. Now it's up to 50 because he came on this show, to be honest. But I'm with him 100%. I don't think the mayor should be anywhere near that sacred soil. He's going to go. He's already said he's going to go. But if he really cared, which he doesn't, about these families and New Yorkers, he would not show up. You know that, right? But he doesn't care. So let that stand at that discussion. Of course he's going to be there with that stupid plastered smile. I mean, what you just said, I think it was Hasan Piker. I think that's who you quote one of his connections, one of his affiliations. He's the one who said that we deserved 9-11, the United States of America. Well, wait, not only did he not say that. He said it on a podcast. You know who his guest was on that podcast? Who offered zero, pushback, zero? It was Zohran Mamdani.

No, no. So Zohran Mamdani was on the podcast. Correct. He was sitting on a kitchen table with Hasan Piker and Zohran Mamdani didn't go, hey, listen, Hassan, come on, stop. That's a bit much. He didn't say a word. A bit much. Yeah, that's more than a bit much. That's, I would knock your teeth through your throat and down to your ankles. I swear to God. If someone said that in front of me, if someone said in front of me, I forget that I'm a lawyer. I've become a pit viper. Right. And I would just. slaughter. You would become that guy that to this day still owns the record for most hockey penalty minutes in the history of college hockey at Skidmore. I would relocate his windpipe in about one second. And so I really would, Sid, and it real to hear that. So this piece of garbage is sitting there when one of his buddies, his allies, someone he supports said maybe one of the most disgusting things I've ever heard. about our country, about those people who were killed. I have relatives who were killed and friends who were killed. So do you. So do we all. I dial it to. We all do. And it's disgusting that to hear someone say that, okay, and that he sat there and listened to it and didn't say, that's outrageous. You know, that's outrageous. You know, I'll, even, even, even John McCain, when he was going against Barack Obama and someone questioned Obama's citizenship and, and, and what. McCain stepped in and said, no, no, no, you don't say that. That's not right and that's not fair. That's what you do when you have dignity, okay? What you don't do is sit there and let someone say something so despicable and not say a word and have the goal to show up at Ground Zero where your buddy just said, we all deserve what happened. I mean, he has no. And you know what? I know he's a mayor and he thinks he has to be there because of that, no, no. If you are going to upset the families of the victims. because of your prior political stance and then your current political posture clearly, then don't do that. Don't go. Actually have the decency, not that he has the decency, but if he had, even a modicum of decent in his body, you don't show up at 9-11 to inflict pain on these people. You just nailed it. That's it. That's it. I mean, if you care about, and you claim you care about New Yorkers. Don't go because the overwhelming majority, whether they say it or not, hate you. Sorry, they hate you. Don't go. Let me get the Anthony Fauci from yesterday. Let me start with Rand Paul, who was brilliant. I don't like Rand Paul. I know. I'm glad I did. By the way, whoever's got you in court this morning at 9.30, even better. Whoever your client is, you're welcome. You're thanks to Rosenberg. You're welcome. I heard Rand Paul say, and I don't like Rand Paul, but I thought he was great yesterday. He was great. He said that next week, they're going to vote, I guess, and look to hold. Anthony Bouchy in contempt. What does that mean in terms of punitive repercussions? Anything?

Yeah, well, let's start with that first. What happens after someone is held in contempt? And I do want to get to the overriding question about his ability to plead the Fifth Amendment. But let's start with contempt. A contempt vote said isn't the end of the process, right? The matter can be referred for criminal prosecution. Congress can pursue a civil action to enforce compliance or even in limited circumstances. It can rely on its inherent contempt power through really. something that has really been used in modern times. You know, and look, it's not a contempt citation is the beginning of the legal process, right? It's whether criminal charges are brought or penalties are imposed. It depends on a particular contempt mechanism being used and the actions of the appropriate authorities in the court. So really what happens is the judge decides at the end of the day if he has been in violation, if he's committed contempt. Not the... Not the... Of course. Not Congress. Right. It's a judge at the end of the day. And you look, the guy's 85 years old, and he's a scumbug and one of the worst people got ever created. But he is 85, and that may, I guess, be a part of the judge's decision. But you did bring up moments ago, the big one, which is a lot of attorneys today, guys like John Turley, a friend and others on Fox News. They are talking specifically about Joe Biden pardoned. Mr. Anthony Fauci. So if he was pardoned by the president, he's not supposed to take the fifth, not once, let alone 111 times. What is the issue there? that they're wrong. They're just wrong when they say that, whoever's saying that. A lot of people believe that because Biden pardoned Anthony Fauci, he automatically loses the right to invoke the Fifth Amendment. And that's not quite how the law works. Okay, that's a federal pardon. Joe Biden gave him a federal pardon, period, end of story. That's all he has the ability to do. A federal pardon removes the risk of federal prosecution for the conduct it covers. But the Fifth Amendment could still apply. Truthful answers? Who is it exposed someone? Remember, someone to state criminal liability or to federal crimes outside the scope of the pardon. A lot of states, and we've heard a lot of settlement about this, are saying, I don't care if you've been pardoned. That pardon doesn't cover us, and we're going to prosecute you. We're going to investigate you. So whether they prosecute, investigate, even if there's a, and it's out there, we know that's out there, that states are actually considering the potential of investigating Anthony Fauci and maybe even prosecuting him. End of story about his ability to take the Fifth Amendment. He has the ability at that point. So, so it really, there's no, in my opinion, this, look, the pardon changes the legal landscape for sure, but it's only conceivably criminal exposure, you know. if there was just federal conduct. Gotcha. The argument for invoking the Fifth Amendment is really as much weaker then, but it's not realistically, there's possibly of state prosecutions or prosecutions for conduct not covered by the pardon, and then the privilege is definitely still available. So, you know, if Congress challenges the invocation, of course.

not the witness, not the committee, not some political, you know, pact. They decide whether the privilege was properly asserted, period. So on the way out, I think a lot of frustrations, Joseph, the amazing defense attorney, as you hear right now, Joseph Takapina, I think a lot of people like me are frustrated over the years. It's like Hillary Clinton broke the law. We saw James Comey, who's also a, he's corrupted, he should be in prison, but we saw him for 30 minutes tell us why she broke the law and then tell us, But I'm not going to do anything about it. He literally did that. He went up for 30 minutes about the emails and everything else. And then he said, nah, we're just going to let it go. And there's so many other Bill de Blasio's wife. Where's that money? A billion dollars just disappeared. So people like me, who've now been doing this in New York for almost 11 years, yelling about these Democrats, always Democrats, doing all these horrible things. And they never, ever, ever face any real repercussion. Republicans have. Paul Manafort went to jail. Michael Flynn went to jail. Peter Navarro went to jail. Steve Bannon went to jail. These Democrats do ten times worse. There never seems to be any repercussions. And my fear is, it'll be the same thing with Bouchy because he's 85. And the truth is, they don't have any real, real proof. His diary does say some things that don't look good, but any real proof to really hammer the guy. So this will be another case, Joseph, where in the end, there'll be no real repercussions outside of ruining his legacy, right? Legacy is, well, you got said, I mean, really, you said it better than I could just have said it. That's exactly what's going to happen. His legacy would be ruined, but nothing else is happening to this guy, be real. He's going to be permitted or deemed to be appropriately invoking the Fifth Amendment because of exposure in state prosecutions. No question about that. So, so we have that. So. You know, there's not going to make him 10 proceeding. He took the fifth. He took the fifth. That's it. And the story. But yes, he's a, look, what he did is despicable, disgusting. It was fraudulent in many ways. I, you know, that he profited off. I had the whole thing. I mean, it's just, it. But anyway, long story short is, you just nailed it. It's about a legacy that's decimated. So, you know, congratulations. You have your 15 minutes of fame. You know, at times the country thought he was a hero. It turns out he was not. Right. And, you know, so great. 85 years old, enjoy, you know, the last few years, whatever it's going to be. Yeah. He's going to hell. He's going to hell. Wow. So you believe in heaven and hell? I do. Okay. All right. What do you think I'm going? Oh, you're going to have it said that. I love you. I'm putting a word. You've got connections there, too. He's got connections with the judges, the Army God. He's got it all, Takapina. Yeah, take me with you, please. You're coming with me, don't worry, buddy. You're a wonderful, wonderful guy. I love you so much. And you were great again just now, as you are everybody, even though today's Thursday, Jojo, I had to put John because I'm not going to be here tomorrow. That's how much I value this segment. I love you. Great job. Thank you so much.

Okay, my brother. Great work. Joseph Takapina. That was really great explaining all those legal details about the pardon and obviously about the contempt and all that. We still have two more great guests to come. It is Thursday. Nobody gets bigger ratings. Any segment, any day of the week on any show than Bill O'Reilly and Sid Rosenberg. Bill O'Reilly's coming up. We're also going to talk to the great Clay Travis. Sid and Friends in the morning on the Red Apple Podcast Network. He's got the best news website anywhere. Bill O'Reilly.com, great TV, no spin. Guys got great interviews and just great columns, great conversations. Brilliant author 2, 13 in The Killing Series. He's got the book on Presidents, which is amazing. Confronting Evil is his newest book, but he's got a brand new book coming out this September. Very excited about that. There's a great job on News Nation every week with Chris Andrew Cuomo. And now he's got his own amazing podcast. He's got great guests. I mean, great guests. Do it live with Bill O'Reilly. This guy does it all. And I do believe he is the best of all time. And I do want to ask him about Anthony Bouchy, but I will give you the choice, Bill O'Reilly. Would you rather plead the fifth? I would because he's a weasel. Yeah. No other way to put it. You know, he's the kind of guy. You're in Brooklyn, and my father was born in Brooklyn. I was. raised a leather town. We slapped these guys around. That's right. I'm sorry. Right? Right? Yes. When we were a kid? Yeah. This guy, I don't know if you get out of the stickball game. You could add somebody else to that too. You could add he'd be slapped around this Anthony Fauci creep and so would Zohran Mamdani. Zohran Mamdani wouldn't last a day in Brooklyn. Well, that's a whole different thing. Yeah. I mean, Anthony Fauci's just on demeanor. Yeah. He's such a weasel. Right. You can just see them sitting there, you know, oh, boy, I'm getting famous. I don't really care what I'm seeing. And I don't really care whether it's accurate or not, which it wasn't. I'm getting famous. I'm on CNN tonight. Yeah. You just see it, you know. But what about, but you say, true, but what about yesterday? Because people were saying to me that even yesterday went for the most part outside of Peter and Richard Blumenthal, for the most part, he was getting clobbered, humiliated that he even enjoyed that because he was a center of attention. What are your thoughts on that? I think he knows he's going to die soon, so it doesn't matter. Really? Sorry, let me go look. He had his run, right?

And now he goes, it's over. I can't come back from this. Anybody would know that. So I'll play it out. I don't want to go to jail. I don't want to, you know, I'll be dragging in the courtroom. My lawyers told me to do this because they don't want to open up the fifth, and I'll do it. But, you know, when you know someone, and you do, we all know some people, they're narcissistic. So even though they do bad things on a regular basis, they never acknowledge it ever in their own mind. And I'm sure that's where his place is. Oh, I just did what I was told or I really thought that the, you know, the Wuhan lab didn't do it, whatever it may be. But he's not going to go home and weep. that maybe people die, they shouldn't have died. Children were denied school. He misled the world on where the origin of COVID came from. He's not going to go home and go, oh, no, he's just going to go home and go, I find my fault. Right. You know, somebody else did it. And he's going to take the phone call from Barbara Streisand and Milakounis and all these people are going to go, let me tell you something. The way they treated yesterday was disgusting. You're still a hero as far as I'm concerned. And he's going to, right? Yeah. But not a lot of that. That crew. This is what I've noticed over the years. That crew, that progressive crew, once you start to embarrass them or once you get into a position where they are not morally justifiable and sticking up for you, they're gone. They're gone. They just run, huh? I mean, right. They're not a Joan of Arc. I mean, they're not standing up to the fire. Okay? They'll turn on you very, very quickly. So you're not going to see Anthony Fauci. on whatever channel loved Anthony Fauci, CNN with a big, big player. Huge, yeah. And they covered for him this week. There's Abby. Melops. Yeah. Oh, we're not going to talk about Anthony. If I were on that panel with Abby, I would have said to her and you know I would have done it. Why aren't we going to talk about Anthony Fauci? You stuck up for him for two years. Isn't Scott Jennings on that panel? He would say that.

No, I wasn't there. He wasn't there? They were doing some kind of other... It was Lydia Moynihan. Oh, give me a break. I know who she is. Give me a break. Yeah. You know, see, but here's the... We're doing some other kind of thing. Forget about Abby Phillips. The former CNN host, who you're on the air with every week, and you bought Wellervin's two. Congratulations. I know I would kill him every week, but I'm sorry. Chris Andrew Cuomo would probably still defend him, would he not? No, I wouldn't. Really? No. Okay, good. You got Andrew Cuomo a little bit wrong. I do. Okay. All right. So he's a true believer in liberal causes, he's a Democrat. But he's not irrational. He doesn't go in and say, look, I want to deceive because I would call him out on that if he did. He doesn't do that. So I would be shocked. if Andrew Cuomo used his program to try to justify Anthony. I wouldn't. I don't think you would do it. Well, he wouldn't do it. He wouldn't do it wrong, but I'll bet you. Yeah, I think you wrong. He wouldn't do it with you because you feel differently. He would do it with some other guests. The other 9,000 guests he brings on that are on his level of thinking. I don't think so. He's smarter than that. Well, bring it up. When are you on with him again? Well, I don't even know. I was on with Katie Pablick last night. I'll be on with her again. I like her a lot. I've done her show a couple of times, too, with 10 o'clock. She's very good. You know, News Nation is coming up in the ratings, and they're kind of using me as a utility person. As they should. They jack up numbers when they came. But I like to do a Andrew Cuomo show because it's the best debate show on television right now. But I want to be very much including Andrew Cuomo. If he does it, then I'll come back on Sid and Friends and I'll say you were right and I was wrong. And that will pain me. That will cause me angst. That's funny. I don't know. Listen, maybe you're right. And I know he's very pro-Israel. I like that about Chris. I do. But I saw this guy way too many times, way too many times defend Biden, take the pressure off Biden, not because he thought he was physically inept. He just depended the guy. At every turn, at every turn, it was moronic. It was stupid. So I can't tell you that I think this guy is rational when it comes to a lot of these subjects because he's still dug in as a Democrat. He's dug in. He's a Democrat. Your father were named Mario Andrew Cuomo. You'd be a Democrat, too. But I was a Democrat. But I was a Democrat. But I realized. But what I'm trying to tell you is he's indoctrinated into that world. But at times, he'll go out of the world. And there are pundits who will never go out of the world. One was the last time you're on with him? And he had something nice to say about President Trump. Anything? We did a, I don't know the last time, but we did a phone with Trump.

And I know that he, that Andrew Cuomo does talk with Trump occasionally, and Trump takes his call. Andrew or Chris? So he's not disrespectful. He just believes in the democratic way. He believes it. He's not a Zohran Mamdani supporter, Chris Andrew Cuomo. I mean, obviously his brother ran against him. But he's not happy about Zohran Mamdani. He's not. So you've got to look at the full canvas here when you're analyzing people. Now, I'm much more angry, I think that's a good word, about a CNN. Yeah. We use the entire network all the power and had worldwide. Remember, these people who are on all over the world. Okay, they bought up all the cable systems and get that network on. And you're in Korea, there's Wolf Blitzers. Frightens me to death, but he's there. They threw their whole weight behind Anthony Fauci. Yeah. I know. And if you step back and you look at the damage done, it dwarfs any one or two people. who were misguided or whatever they did when they threw on with Anthony Fauci. And when you use that kind of power... to drive something that turns out to be false. And then you have no apology. You don't even see it and going, oh, well, we're really sorry. We didn't know. Or, you know, are you here? Abby Phillips. Oh, we're not going to talk about him. Aye, aye, aye. Oh, I wish I were on that panel. I'd never be on it. I never put me on ever in a million years. But I would have got, why not, lady? For two years, you're pounded how brilliant the man was, and now you don't want to talk about it? Nope. And all MSN now is doing this morning, just so you know MS now, that nonsense. All they're talking about is how Todd Blanche should never be confirmed. They're upset that Jay Clayton got confirmed yesterday, D&I replaces Tulsi Gabbard. But now they're all over Todd Blanche, Joe and Mika, now this Stephanie rule. That's all they care about it. President Trump wants somebody to work in the administration. They don't want them, right? They should be talking about how bouchy lied. And then, of course, took the fifth 111 times. None of that, no. I'm going to give you a little inside baseball. I never watched that network. It's like Mad magazine. All right, Joe Scarbo, be on a cover with the tooth missing. Okay? To me, that's what it is. It's Mad Magazine. Why am I going to devote anything? And to my staff, my dictum is they are out of the loop when you are investigating anything. They don't even bother looking at what they say. Agreed. Because this is a purely propaganda situation. 100%.

Usually you got a little dash of something in there once in a while. Yeah. You get somebody. Well, no, no, like I hate to say it, but CNN, Scott Jennings lately, Liz Pipco, they've started to sprinkle in like boxers with the other side with people like Harold Ford. But with CNN, it's 100%. We hate Trump. That's it. Not CNN. MS now, MS now, MS now. Scott Jennings had made a name for himself being on that network. Right. And so it's not like MS. No. And I talked to a very big guy over there. I'm not going to give you his name because I kind of liked the guy. And he was, you know, he was in a frank conversation. And he just admitted to these, look, these people want to make money. That's all I want to do. They know where their audience is. Hard, hard, hard left. No in the middle left. No, none of that. Hard left. And they are not going to go out of that profile. Everything is going to be reported from a hard left point of view. And that's what's happening. So if you want to waste your time over there, good. It's America. You can waste your time any way you want. Just keep it legal. So I wanted to also talk about just briefly, because I know you're up against the gun. You've got to bring in Travis. I don't be on Travis' show. I do a show once in a while. Oh, you do? This guy is pretty smart. But they're very confirmed right-wingers as well. I mean, they don't go out. Fox doesn't go out too much. into the area of, well, this is the key to the Fifth Amendment, okay? And this is important, and everybody should be listening up right now. Trump's going to need this. Why? He's going to need the Fifth Amendment. Why? Because when he gets out of there, They're going to come after everybody who even knows Trump. You and I are going to be indicted for something. I don't know. No, we may not be indicted, but I'm serious. I've had people tell me the last couple of weeks, don't be surprised if you're subpoenaed. Yeah. Look, if the progressives ever take over or, you know, get a majority in the House and Senate. then Trump is going to pardon a whole bunch of people in his last few weeks in office. Give me a laundry list and started with his family, and he should. He should. Okay? If you start to break down that presidential privilege by saying, oh, no, states can override it, which they can't constitutionally. Okay, federal government always trump state. So if they try it, they'll lose. But Donald Trump's going to need the power of the part. He's going to need it to keep people that have helped him and his own family safe for millions of dollars in legal fees. People don't understand it. Once you're indicted or once you go in, you've got to have a million dollars.

to hire Takapina or wherever, to come save you. And so you can't just be blowing the filibuster out of there, blowing the pardon out of there. You can't do it because it'll come back. to hurt you. Right. And don't forget, you know, you say indicted, this poor bastard was indicted four times. I mean, Dillinger, Gotti, the worst people, and I happen to like John Gotti, but I mean, some of the biggest criminals in history weren't indicted as much as President Trump. But that helped Trump. It did in the end, yes. Our country is right now. The worst that the impeachment analysis is so foolish. I can't believe it. All right. I mean, you know, you mentioned I wrote confronting the president. So I know every president. I know what they went through. I know it was out to get them. And I know what happened. There's nothing even comes close to in peaching somebody because he's on the phone. with the leader of Ukraine going, hey, we think there's some illegality here. Look into it, please. After, by the way, it involves Ukraine and a Ukrainian company. Even after, by the way, the sitting President Biden admitted to it on videotape. Even after that, he made that phone call, making it even more ridiculous. And by the way, if we do lose the house, I say we, me, not you. In November, here come more impeachments. More to write about Bill. Now, I don't know whether you've noticed this or not, but you did mention kindly as you do every week about my long form call We'll Do It Now. And the reason we call We'll Do It Now is when I was 11 years old, I cursed on television and somebody taped it. Okay, and then they sold it. They sold the tape. And it got out there in social media and it made me look like an idiot, which, okay, that's just the way it is. So I'll do it now as become an enormous success. I cut two weeks ago, maybe 10 days ago, a 40-minute analysis of Howard Stern. I saw it. It was great. I watched it. It was great. Thank you. It was great. And you talk about seeing him at Boston University, which he still denies to this day, but you did a very good job of setting up just how you knew this guy. Well, I got him on tape admitting that he and I were classmates because he came on a factor. Correct. But he's kind of getting up there. But I didn't hatchet him. I didn't go in and eviscerate him. No, you didn't. I told the audience why his operation was disintegrating. And that, the viewership for that was crazy, crazy. It was great.

I'm not surprised. Today, we're dropping Dr. Oz. Love him. We have Oz. Yep. Okay? It's great. You've never seen them like this, ever. And this one, I challenge it because I challenge everybody. But this one's about you and your health and why the government doesn't help you enough to throw off your maladies and live longer. It's fascinating. Okay. And I, I think, enjoyed the joust. Sure. Because we got into why, I'll just go one example. You buy cigarettes, what do you got on the label? Caution, cigarette smoking can be damaged to your health, right? Okay. Why on Oreos don't you have a label? It says, caution, sugar can give you diabetes. It should say that. And I think Robert F. Kennedy Jr. would want that. And Dr. Ross. Well, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. doesn't eat Oreos because they're not wild animals. But there's no label. Nope. And there's never been a suggestion of a label. that all is trash food. I have a 7-Eleven right around a corner for me. There's nothing I can eat there. Nothing. Nothing in the whole store. Nope. Beef jerky. What about beef jerky, Bill? I go to the Pakistani guy behind a counter. Do you have anything that's not going to hurt me? In the whole store. You know what he gave me? What? Firewood. Okay? I mean, lying after lie. It's all junk. It's all unbelievable. Why do you put a picture of a dead kid on the product? Yeah, you should. Right? Or a cemetery. Yeah. See, and those are the questions. You know, you want to make America healthy again. Good. Good. That's a noble, noble thing. But you've got to get out there. and spread the militant war. And cigarette smoking has disintegrated in America. It's basically gone. Yeah, that industry is dead. If you go to Greece... I mean, these people are, you know, they got five cigarettes, two in their ears, one in their nose. Yeah, all over Europe. And the Middle East, too. It's crazy. I know. Israel, too, they smoke. I know. And then we find out this week that more people, Americans, use pot every day than smoke cigarettes. I know. So now we have an inebriation problem all over the place. I don't know if you notice, but some of the delivery guys that come to my house. Oh, that's terrible.

Notice it. How did you get here? You know where you are? I can't walk down... You have any idea what state... I know. I can't walk down a city street without getting high every day. I don't even smoke weed, but I just have to walk down the street. New York City, I get a high. And the tragedy is if you plant yourself, and I did this physically, outside of middle school in New York City. Those kids are loading up before they go in. And you're talking 12, 13 years old. It's terrible. It's terrible. I know. That'll be great. I was in studio here two weeks ago, but nobody does it like you. I'll admit that. So I'm going to watch that. It's dropping today, you said, today at noon? Sorry. We drop it at noon for premium members on Bill O'Reilly.com, and then I think it rolls out at six for the whole world to see it. But it is worth watching. I'm sure it is. You're both great, especially you, Bill. You're the best ever. This was another amazing appearance this morning. Bill O'Reilly, I love you. Thank you so much. All right. Let's, you know, try to isolate Anthony Fauci, you and me. We'll throw a little thing over his head. We won't hurt them. We'll just mock them. Right. We just make fun of them. Okay. All right. Well, I'll meet Jim and Hash later on today. We'll take care of that, okay? All right. See you, buddy. Oh, come on. You're the best ever. Bill O'Reilly right there. Another amazing Thursday appearance on Sid and Friends. We'll take a break. Clay Travis. Still, look, come.

on the Red Apple Podcast Network. So a big night coming up next Sunday. I very rarely go to the Hamptons, but I'll be in West Hampton next Sunday night for more details. Call Lewis. Don't bother me. I'm begging you. Leave me alone. I'm around. He's around. And we're going to go to break because I've got so many great guests on today. I mean, really? From Gerard Maroney to Ron Johnson to Brian Kilmeade to Joseph Takapina to Bill O'Reilly. But I got to get to Clay Travis. This WMBA stop is huge. And men in women's sports. Everybody loves Clay. One and a half million Twitter followers. Clay Travis, formerly of Outkick.com. Sid and Friends in the morning on the Red Apple Podcast Network. Clay, good morning, buddy. How are you? I'm great. How are y'all? We're doing great. Do you see me on a box on Saturday when I called Muhammad? Zohran Mamdani, a terrorist, and Griff Jenkins apologize for me twice? Did you know that story? I didn't see that story. That is really, really funny. Yeah, I call him a terrorist on the air, and Griff stops me. So I start yelling at Griff, I go, Griff, Griff. The guys that are heading out in Qatar, those Hamas guys, they never wore an explosive vest. They never shot a gun. They're still terrorists. Don't tell me he's a terrorist. And I leave. I do the segment with Rachel and Griff and Charlie. And in the last two hours of the show, I'm gone. Not once but twice. Griff Jenkins apologized for me. It's very, very funny. I, you know, did local, not local, national sports gambling shows back in the day. And probably once a month or so, one of us on the show would say something and the host of the show would have to apologize live on the air without us having been told that the apology was coming. It was like a preemptive attempt to protect the network from things we had said. And I will say, I do believe like the whole cancel culture era has basically vanished. But I think a lot of the rules, which were broken in the first place, right? Like an apology doesn't actually make anyone happy, right? Because the goal is not for you to screw up and say, oh, I'm sorry. The goal is to try and break and humiliate and destroy you. No one is actually offended. They just want to cut your balls off and not allow you to be able to say what you really think. That's the entire goal. Nobody's ever actually offended. If you are, you're an adult, grow up, who cares? Bang, you just nailed it. That's why I love Clay Travis. Excellent. So, you know, you talked about gambling shows, and I was made aware of this on your Twitter. I do follow you and read your stuff every day. Are you telling me that these ladies, including that thug? Yes, I call to that. White or black, you can still be your thug. Angel Reese, they're betting on their own games and cutting videos about it.

This is one of the dumbest things I've ever seen in the history of at least the social media era. Yeah, this video is up. You can go see it on my Twitter feed at Clay Travis. I couldn't believe it last night when I saw this. Me too. Page Buckers, who was a star at Yukon, an angel Reese who got into it with Caitlin Clark back in the day when LSU played Iowa. They bet $400 on the outcome of their game last night, and the WNBA itself posted the video of each of them. publicly making the bet and showing the cash that was at stake. Now, $400 on a WNBA game is like 90% of the salary these girls make. So, I mean, this is big money they put on the line. And it's illegal. You can't bet on games. It's crazy. It's absolutely insane. I mean, imagine what the story would be like. If any, we saw Shohei Otani's gambling scandal where it was just a guy had access, evidently, to his bank account. Well, if you believe that, if you believe that. But it was a huge story. It was front page news for multiple days. We all know what happened to Pete Rose back in the day. I can't even think of a male sport where two guys, I mean, heck, when people bet on NFL games, right, even small parlays, guys have gotten suspended. for an entire season. Yeah. I don't know what the WNBA is going to do because it ties on also. I'm sure you saw this. The Seattle Storm had an owner who berated two teenage girls who wore shirts supporting Sophie Cunningham. coming out in favor of men not being able to play women's sports. It's just a broken league run by morons. I don't be honest. But I was glad that they, I was glad, claimed that they suspended that corner. I think her name is Ginny, something, or other Gilman. I'm glad they did that because to me, look, this is a racist league. But he says to me, Why? Why? Caitlin Clark? Because she's white. And this league was a bunch of black girls. That's it. And straight. That's it. A bunch of black girls. And it's like, this is our league, bitch. And she comes in, and she becomes a star, and they're all beating her up. And who comes to her rescue? A white girl. Pretty, too. Soapy Cunningham. Soapy Cunningham. To me is a hero. I'm glad at least the league suspended this co-owner. But for the most part, this league is a mess. It's a racist league, Clay Travis. Yeah, look, it's a league run by black lesbians that hate a straight white girl. I mean, I think I was one of the first to say this, and people just, you know, like gasped. And then you start seeing Caitlin Clark getting throat punched. You see that the league won't even speak out in her favor, right? When awful things happen to her, they have to tiptoe around it. And by the way, I don't care who you sleep with. I don't care anything else.

If you have someone in your league that is the difference between you having to fly commercial and getting to fly private, I'm sorry. I would do whatever that person wanted. I didn't have to get, if I was making hundreds of thousands of dollars as many of these girls are, more than we otherwise would. She is the goose that laid the golden egg, and they're trying to strangle the goose to death. It's one of the dumbest things I've ever seen. I saw Riley Gaines on, I couldn't agree more. I saw Wally Gaines on Fox News earlier, and she was also extolling Soapie's virtues. We all love Sophie Cunningham. But something else you put on Twitter, you nailed that again, Clay Travis. He said that when it comes to men competing in women's sports, we all know it's terrible. It's not bad. It's terrible. It's immoral. It's dangerous. There's nothing good about it. Okay, nothing. And yet, for the most part, men realize that, right? And women, they're the ones. They're the ones in this case who are being victimized. And yet it's the women that are not coming to the realization as quickly as the men. What is that about? Yeah. I think, honestly, women's empathy is being, and I've never met a man who has said, yeah, you know what, I think that men should be able to compete in women's sports. I have never met one in my entire life. Me either, not one. Me either. I think this is probably in your audience. I'm not sure there's a single guy listening to us right now that would agree with men and women's sports. I think it's a 99.9 to 0.1 or whatever the heck it is, issue. And the only men that would not maybe have that opinion have never played sports, right? Any guy who has ever played high school sports and knows the difference between just high school level, any guy out there that's coached, if you coached a seventh grade girls team versus a seventh grade boys team, these are different species as soon basically as we get testosterone rolling in for men. Women, I really believe this, are being taken advantage of because... They're trying to be kind. They're trying to be empathetic. They're trying to be what women often are nurturing and they don't want to be the bad guy. And bad ill actors are taking advantage of that empathy and they're weaponizing against the women. These women think they're being kind. And actually, the question is, who should your kindness go to? The little girl who doesn't get to make a team because a boy took her spot. The girl who doesn't get to start because a boy took her spot. or the boy who has decided that he's going to identify as a woman. To me, you know, inclusion ultimately leads to exclusion, particularly in sports, because there's only so many team jobs, there's only so many team positions, there's only so many starters. So if you let a boy in, then ultimately you are excluding a girl in the name of inclusion, and they're taking advantage of it because they're focusing for women on the inclusion part and not the end result, the exclusion. What a shame. I got to tell you, the Jets and Giants opened up training camp two days ago. And I'm a huge college football fan because I spent a lot of my life down in Florida, in Miami. So, ACC football, SEC football. I know you had the SEC weekend last weekend.

I actually spoke Daria Lepstein who's a lovely young lady. So with football season starting, Clay, I hope you will come on this show even more because, again, I think the World W, I think you're great. I really do. Politics, sports, it doesn't matter. You're fantastic. Thank you so much for hopping on this morning. Appreciate it. Apologies to Jets fans for the seasons they're going to have. How bad is it going to be? They got Gino Smith back. It's going to be bad. I think you're going to sit back and look. To be fair, there's a lot of good young quarterbacks that I think are going to be in the 27 draft. So if I were a Jets fan, I'd go ahead and start watching some of those guys and daydreaming about who we might get. All right, give me my team. I'm a giant guy. I did the giant pregame show for WF&N for three years. We got Jackson Dart in his second year, the starting quarterback. What do you think of my Giants? I'm optimistic about the Giants. Now, I didn't love, I'm sure you saw Scatterbo doing the back flip as he's trying to recover from the leg. But I do think Jackson Dart is going to be a very good quarterback in the league. I like how decisive he is. Team seems to stand behind him for the most part and believe in him. I think you will see a big jump for Jackson Dart. Presuming he can stay healthy. He needs to stay in the pocket more. Don't need to take the hits that he's taking. Sometimes Phil's gratuitous unnecessary. when he's scrambling, get out of bounds, faster, slide more, stay healthy. I think you'll see a big jump. Clay Travis, amazing job, buddy. Thank you so much. Let's keep doing this, okay, buddy. Thank you so much. Yeah, for sure. Happy to come on. Appreciate you all. God bless you. Clay Travis right there and Outkick.com. I think he's done with them, though. I'm hearing rumors that maybe Clay be doing something of his own. I don't know. He's terrific.
