Here she is, Ms. Victims' Rights, New York, my dear friend, Jennifer Harrison. Jennifer, good morning, sweetheart. How are you? Good morning. Thank you. I got so nervous when I tried to call in, and it said the station has restrictions. You can't get through. And I said, oh, my God, Andrew Cuomo finally had me lost from calling into WABC Radio. That's funny. See, you were another pain in the aster on that whole thing because I actually jumped on the Andrew Cuomo bandwagon. 10 days, not 10 weeks, not 10 months, and you and Janice and all the people who are victimized by Andrew Cuomo stuck with Curtis Sliwa.

And as it turns out, I'm not going to knock you because Andrew Cuomo did destroy the state. But I think you're all starting to find out. Janice won't admit this. I hope you will. Curtis, not exactly a good guy. You know, I heard what he said in its entirety yesterday, and I'm not happy with the fact that he called 3,000 victims and the people that have more people that have lost their lives ever since 9-11, 2000. one that, you know, so are losers. But he did go on to say that, you know, this guy is the duly elected mayor, so turn your backs. And I'm not happy. He didn't say that. He didn't say that. He said, I wouldn't stop you from doing that. I also played the question after from Melissa Russo. She said, well, how's the mayor doing? And he said, you know what? It's a nice change from Eric Adams. A nice change. You guys need to stop. You, Jonas, everybody. I don't care that you thought he was there, but you guys, he wasn't. He's got Andrew Cuomo derangement syndrome, and he spends his days and nights hating on Andrew Cuomo. You guys were just pawns in his game, and that is still obvious. Who else in this city is sucking up to Zohran Mamdani more than Curtis? Yeah, and I mean, I heard that he wants to run again. I sincerely hope that he doesn't, you know, we need somebody serious in there that's going to fight like hell to take the city back and wrong. A lot of the awful wrongs that have been done, you know, since de Blasio got in there. So I really hope that he doesn't run. I will not be supporting him again. All right. There you go. Jen Harrison, my... One of my favorites right here down in Florida. So I was under the impression that this rally that I'll be going to with Bruce Blakeman later on today, welcoming President Trump back to Nassau County. I thought this was yours, victims' rights, and you guys were heavily involved. You may be, I don't know, what's the lowdown with what's going on in Nassau County or Suffol County girl in Nassau County this afternoon. Well, we are heavily involved, and I have a feeling that there are going to be some victims speaking, which is, you know, quite an overwhelming moment, Sid. I mean, you, you know, you said that the love of my life was murdered. People don't know this, but it was by a New York State parolee and his two gang member brothers. This was 21 years ago. And back then, you know, the media wanted interviews when it was first happening. But nobody cared when these three gang member brothers and a New York State Parole basically got away with it due to an incompetent prosecutor giving a sweetheart plea deal. Nobody cared that my life was destroyed, that my heart was shattered into so many pieces that it would never be repaired even after all this time. And that two killers were walking free, while one would only serve five and a half years for killing my boyfriend. And the New York State Parole. completely free, said, you know, never even violated for parole, even though we crossed state lives. And since then, 21 years ago, nothing has gotten better, only progressively worse. You know, bail reform, less is more, which was written by a gang member too and signed by Kathy Hochul. You know, monsters who killed children can get a clean slate. And if Kathy Hochul gets elected, there's going to be a mandate for the socialists and the communists in Albany to pass even more laws that release even more monsters.

And no one is safe in this country, in this country, because of New York's soft-on-crime policies. I mean, Ask Lake and Riley's family. She was murdered by somebody who was released in New York. So this is a very overwhelming moment because, you know, for all these years, we've been screaming from the rooftops about these reforms, and nobody has listened. Nobody has cared. Not Kathy Hochul, not Letitia James, not any of the merry band of idiots in Albany. Nobody has cared about the victims while they put criminal after criminal after criminal gang members, murderers, rapists right on stage with them right in our faces. And thanks to President Trump, victims are finally being heard. You know, you mentioned there'll be victim speaking today in all likelihood. So what's going on today, a very similar thing happened in Rockland County under Mike Lawler about two months ago, and I was there for that. And this young, beautiful girl Sheridan Gorman, 18-year-old college student, she was in Chicago with her two girlfriends going to look at the northern lights. And she was shot in the back, murdered, shot in the back by an illegal. Turns out she's from Yorkville there in Mike Lawler's, I guess, neighborhood, part of his constituent class. So at this rally for Mike Lawler, Sheridan Gorman's sister and parents spoke. Now, you got to understand, there's thousands of people sitting there. President Trump is up on stage. He brought him up. And when her mother spoke, There was not a dry eye in the house. I've asked Mike Lawler time and time again to get her on this program. It was painful as she talked about her baby 18-year-old girl being shot in the back and murdered by an illegal. So those are always tough moments to watch, especially when you're sitting there right in front of the stage. And I think you're right. There'll be victims today. And correct me if I'm wrong, but... Isn't one of the potential victims somebody very close to you? Yeah, I'm not allowed to talk about it yet. But, you know, I do talk to Jessica Gorman. So if she hasn't been on the show, I'll reach out to her and see if she wants to come on because as many people as possible need to really hear her story. And, you know, my heart just breaks for her because I know that... her life is never going to be the theme. And I mean, you know, I buried Kevin, the love of my life. But if it was JJ, I mean, you would be going to my funeral too. I mean, you know, Sid, I'm turning 49 this year. I just realized I'm kind of going through a midlife crisis because I realize that next year, shit, I'm going to be 50. Sorry. I said that. And, you know, I'm having a really hard time with it now because there's a whole new wave of emotions all these years later that. Sorry. It's okay. I'm realizing exactly what was taken from me. You know, I don't have anybody to reflect on the life that we shared together at 50 years old or the life that we built. You know, I'm alone.

You know, I see all these other people, you know, raising their kids and saying, you know, like, look at what we did. Like, can you believe we're 50 and making jokes and stuff? And I don't have that. Well, the killers who did this to me and Kevin and who took that for me are enjoying all of those moments and creating those lives. And it sucks. You know, this is something that never goes away. And it's something that's never going to go away for the Gorman family. It's never going to go away for any of the victims that I work with or, you know, in New York, across the country. And we all see the same things that, you know, the victims that are going to be on stage today, Jessica Gorman, any of the victims that speak that we put in front of the judiciary committees with Jim Jordan. You know, we're all willing to relive our pain and share our stories so that you and your families and whoever is listening at that moment don't. ever have to go through this. What we endure every day and what other people endure every day is just completely unbearable, and I don't wish it on anybody. And these tragedies were completely preventable. So if you don't want to be me... If you don't want to be the victims who are going to tell their heartbreaking stories on stage today, if you don't want to be Jessica Gorman, if you don't want to be any of the other mothers that I work with, you need to really get out and vote your way out of this, like your lives depend on it, because they really do. These scumbags are not the party of JFK. They are the party of Zohran Mamdani. They are the party that supports terrorists. They are the party that wants... to release murderers and rapists, child killers. They are the party that hates our country. They want to release serial killers. They want to kill Jews and they want to globalize the antifada. And that's the truth. It comes out of their mouths that you know it as well as I do. And these people have no place in our society, let alone our government. I agree. Not just the DSA members, but all Democrats outside of John Fetterman. They're all bad because they're allowing this to happen and they're not standing up to it. None of them. Not Chuck Schumer, not Hakeem Jeffries, all the moderates common sense. Stop it. It is a disgusting party. Now, I can make you feel a little better. You're turning 50 this year. In April, I'm turning 60. You want to talk about feeling old? Oh, my God, I'm going to be 60. But just to go back on what you said, and not to make you feel worse. But the truth is, Jen, you're a very, very smart girl. You're a beautiful girl. You're physically very, very attractive. And you never had anybody else. Kevin was murdered 21 years ago. I'm sure you've been on your fair share of dates, but you really never have fallen in love again, have you?

No, and I have had relationships. I mean, I have JJ, obviously. But he's your son. Right. Yeah, but he's not Kevin's, right. Yeah, and. Well, that doesn't mean that a relationship. That can mean one night of tequila, you know. No, it wasn't. Okay. I don't do those things, Sid. I know you don't. I know. Yeah, so I'm a good girl. But, yeah, I've had relationships, but, you know. Kevin was the love of my life and his belief in me and his faith in me and his support of me and the things that we went through together. Not that I've ever compared, but when you have something like that, I mean, I woke up when he died. You know, our souls were connected somehow. And when you have something like that, you know, you can't settle. for anything else. And I hope that I do find somebody, you know, that I could share the rest of my life with. But, you know, I'm not going to settle for anything that is, you know, not right or not good. I mean, it doesn't have to be, you know, that way. And again, I'm not comparing, but, you know, I'm not going to settle. So you're down in Florida today. You're going to be able to watch what's happening. I know you're a Suffolk County girl, Shirley Long Island, but we'll be able to watch what's happening in Nashville County today down in Florida? I will be watching very closely, and, you know, I might send you a text or two, too. Like I did when, you know, I do that you were crying, of all people, when Jessica spoke at that rally. I think I texted them, too. You did. But I really, I don't know how much time we have, but I really just want to say, I was just watching Fox News and homicides are down in D.C., 43.9%. They're down in Memphis, you know, another astronomical number. I forget the exact number. But that's thanks to President Trump and his administration and him sending the National Guard. You know, people like Todd Blanche, Janine Piro, Harmeet Dillon, Leo Terrell, all of the Republicans in charge like Jim Jordan, who holds hearings on a constant basis and asks me, do you have anybody that wants to speak out? You know, thank God for these people. They're finally hearing us the victims. And people are finally caring in a big way. So, you know, President Trump, everyone I mentioned, they're saving lives, they care about victims. I really cannot thank the president enough for everything that he's doing. For us, even though he doesn't know me personally yet, you know, I really, what he's doing is tremendous and the fact that he cares enough. to give everybody hugs and put them on stage. I just really cannot speak enough about it. It really is beautiful. So usually on the way out here, Jennifer Harrison, the courageous and awesome. I love her so much, Jen Harrison. When you're on, you mentioned your organization and you text me five minutes later and go, Sid, they're texting me and emailing me from Mexico, from Canada, from all these crazy cities and crazy states. So let's do that again. Tell everybody where they can help you out with this. Tremendous calls today. Okay. It's Victims' Rights Reform Council.org, or you can just Google me, Jennifer Harrison, Victims' Rights. And it's so funny because as we speak, I have notifications. Let's give some people some shoutouts from Sarasota, Florida. My phone went off. The Bronx, Mount Laurel, New Jersey, another Sarasota, Florida, Plainfield, New Jersey, West Temstead, New York, New York, New York. So people are listening to you from all over.

That's great. Well, listen, you really are terrific, and we all love you here, and the president will know you one day. I can promise you that. Keep up the great work, and I'll hear from you later on this afternoon. Jen Harrison, you're a hero. Thank you so much. Thank you, and just make sure you give your loved ones an extra hug today, and appreciate every moment that you have with them. Good advice. We'll talk to you soon, okay? Thank you. Bye. Jennifer Harrison right there. And my son is actually going with me to the event today with President Trump. He's an intern for Bruce Blakeman, and he's become Bruce's go-to guy, right-hand man. I'm sorry, Chris Boyle. We love you, Chris Boyle, but Gabriel is now Bruce Blakeman's right-hand man, so he's going to be at this rally today. And my daughter, who he dropped off at University of Pennsylvania Law School two weeks ago, she's coming home this weekend, too. So that's good advice, Jennifer Harrison.
