Sid & Friends In The Morning on Trump Joining Fight Against Mamdani's Pied-à-Terre Tax

The Zohran Mamdani administration says it sent letters to 17,000 homeowners notifying them that they could be subject to this new tax. But already, more than 4,300 homeowners have filed for an exemption. The tax is supposed to target luxury second homes worth more than $5 million and condos with the market value of more than $1 million. The tax was approved by state lawmakers earlier this year and is supposed to generate about $500 million a year. But President Trump weighing in saying that the state stands to lose. more of its tax base from this type of policy. Posting to social media to say in part, quote, this dangerous political experiment in New York will destroy what was once a great city and state. It is pure amateur hour. I am looking to see if the federal government has any legal right to avert this disaster before it is too late. Governor Cathy Hokel responding, I believe that in the state of New York, if you have a $5 million second home, that you should be able to... afford to pay for police and fire and trash removal and storm over the wintertime. It's about paying your fair share. Donald Trump ought to focus on all the pain is causing the Yorkers and knock it off and don't worry about us. We will note that non-residents who own a second home in New York still pay property taxes on that home, but the appellate court is expected to weigh in over the next several days. Indiana fever head coach Stephanie White. No, I'm going to start today. You know, this isn't necessarily for those people that are in this room. This is more for an online community that's trying to create narratives that simply don't exist. trying to create a fabrication or distortion of who I am, of what I'm about. Our player's success, our players' health and wellness, our player's safety is always a top priority for me. One of the things I pride myself on is my relationships with players. For those who have anything to say about the play in the last game, I didn't see the play in real time. I went straight to a press conference. I thought the play got called right. Thankfully, Sophie's okay. Was it egregious? Absolutely. When you have a chance to watch that over and over and over on replay, you can see that. Duh. I didn't have that in real time. I take personally any suggestions that I don't 100% always have my players back. I ride with them 10 toes down all the time. All the time. They know that. It's a shame that we can't have an opportunity to talk about what great basketball they're playing because they are fucking playing. The reality is with me, I will always lead with love. I will always lead with grace. I will always lead with humility. And I will always lead with integrity. Doesn't mean I'll always get it right. I'm also human. The hate, the fear mongering, the divisiveness, the stuff that's trying to hijack our league will not win. It won't win. We are united. We are connected. We will not be divided. Every day these women put their on the line. Every day. When they go low, we go high. Love will win. Grace will win. Humility will win and kindness will win.

I stand by them. I will always stand by them. Everybody else can go to hill. The elaborate plan to hide President Trump. What we've now learned about the secret operation to get the president out of Turkey after the NATO summit amid a potential assassination threat from Iran, sneaking the president off Air Force One and into a catering truck. And what they did next? The unprecedented secret mission to keep the president safe from a possible Iranian assassination attempt. It was at the NATO summit in Turkey last month, just days after the U.S. restarted strikes against Iran. The president saying this at the time. They want to take out the U.S. leader, me on whatever he lives. The concern so high that Iran could target the president on Air Force One on his trip home, a decision was made that the new plane gifted from Qatar wasn't safe enough. Sources at the time saying it was out of an abundance of caution. The president's staff and press seen boarding the old Air Force one instead. But the Washington Post now reports that the president immediately sneaked off the plane and on to a catering truck that whisked him off to a smaller military jet. In video from that day, you see the president boarding with a wave. But as the camera pulls back, there's a catering truck below. Five minutes later, the press seen boarding the back of the plane as that catering truck pulls away, reportedly with the president concealed inside. That truck then spotted pulling up behind another military aircraft parked behind Air Force One. Staff in the press then taking off completely unaware that the president is not on board, and they are acting as decoys. The plan so elaborate, the president reportedly slipped back onto Air Force One during a stopover in England before he's seen disembarking as if he'd been on board the whole time, then switching back to his new plane for the rest of the ride home. On board that final leg, Trump speaking with the press. Reporters asking why they had been directed by White House aides to close their window shades on the flight out of Turkey. Do you know why they had us close our window blinds? That was no. Well, yeah, because you're... Probably on a dangerous thing because if the sleeves bags up we have to do. Trump then pressed about a possible threat from Iran. Were you aware of any incredible threat by Iran against Iran? Well, I have a threat all the time. I'm number one on their list before you. But if I go, you go. So perhaps someday want to change professions. It's still not clear how serious that threat on the president's safety was that led to this elaborate ruse. Presidents have traveled covertly before, most often in and out of war zones. Their movements concealed for their protection, and always with some awareness by the press. You said you're low-keying it with that, you're semi-negotiating. What exactly does that mean? Well, they ask for...

reparations, you might say, or they asked for money for the damage that we've done. And I said, that's a good idea. Well, we're going to ask for money for the damage they've done over a 50-year period. Whether you go SS Cole or whether you go all of the people that were so badly hurt, so badly wounded or killed, many thousands of people, and maybe damages for the 52,000 protesters over the last four months that were killed in Iran. We think their family should get damages for killing their person or their child or mother father that were protesting. It's at least it was $52,000 a month and a half ago. So now what is it? So if there's damages to be paid, I think Iran should pay those damages. Let's take a look at the power plants and places that we might be able to hit. Lucas, as you see these as targets, what do you think we might hit first? Well, I don't know if we'll hit it first, but the Damavon plant supplies 40% of Tehran's electricity. Pretty good. Good to see it. Good to see you. More on the communications center. Hit their banks, hit their financial centers. Don't worry about rebuilding the infrastructure. There are multiple ways to do that after the war.

It is inevitable that President Trump is going to have to do what he doesn't want to do, which is going there with this massive all-out attack. And the only finish is complete surrender by the Iranians. I hate to say it, but complete annihilation. If we want victory and we want to get this over, this is the only way to do it. Who's trying to call me here now? American 11, are you trying to call? Nobody moves. Everything will be okay. If you try to make any move, you'll danger himself and the airplane. Let's stay quiet. Roger's weapon, Sergeant Jerome Powell. Hi, Boston Center, Team U. We have a problem here. We have a hijacked aircraft headed towards New York, and we need you guys to, we need someone to scramble some S-16s or something up there to help us out. Is this real world or exercise? No, this is not an exercise, none of the test. Okay, hey, hold on one second, okay? Yep.

Okay, well, I just wanted to tell you I love you. We're having a little problem on the plane. I'm totally fine. I just love you more than anything. Just know that. Donald, what do you think about all this? You're a developer. You've built buildings all your life. Well, there's never been anything like this. It's disgraceful. And I hope we attack fast. I hope we find out who it is and go fast. Okay. Why do you want to come down here today? I have about 100 men working down here, so just to spur them on. Hi, folks. And I hear doing an amazing job, so I just want to get some support. Is this a man here in my company? We have another hundred coming in a little while. You did hear after a lot of stuff in that open. everybody from Indiana Fever, head coach Stephanie White, to all the latest with Iran, to that really unbelievable scheme that got President Trump off of one plane and onto another to thwart any possible Iranian assassination attempt when he was leaving the NATO conference in Turkey. and the Zohran Mamdani Pierre de Terre Tax, where President Trump says, come on, man. I mean, you are really going out of your way to try to destroy New York, whatever is left of our city and our state. Even President Trump came down on Zohran Mamdani yesterday. Now, we did not even put in the open the story about Zohran Mamdani's wretched and vile wife, First Lady Ramadouaji, who was heading to Lebanon and Syria, and initial reports had her being protected by an NYPD detail. That's what we reported yesterday. And Zohran Mamdani comes out and goes, no, no, no, that's the press, the media, they're lying. That was never going to be the case. Now, I don't know this for a fact. I don't. But I sent the message to Jessica Tisch yesterday, and I thanked her. And I said, Jessica, you continue to show balls in the most difficult of circumstances. I love you. New York loves you. Thank you. She did not get back to me, but I'm willing to bet Norm Leighton that absolutely there was a plan for Zohran Mamdani's wife to use the NYPD in Lebanon and Syria. And Jessica Tisch reached out and said, not my people, I am not putting my officers' lives on the line. while the New York taxpayer is paid for this. So my call is Jessica Tisch put a cabash on it. Again, no proof of that. She hasn't said that. But Norm Layden, that's my call. She definitely put a cabash on it. Number one, the State Department is telling Americans not to fly to those two countries. So she's not going to put people in harm's way unless they're doing some sort of police investigation. They're not going to do it for her security. Right. You know, especially for a woman.

who the mayor claims is not the first lady. She's not, she's not interested in any of that part. She doesn't want to be part of him being mayor. So why does she need protection if she's going overseas to visit family? Right, exactly. So getting back to Rod Stewart, so I'm heading out to Las Vegas on August 30th, my cousin, Norm Coleman, former great mayor and senator from the state of Minnesota, very tight with Bush and Trump and all these folks. He runs this organization, him and Matt Brooks, called the RJC, which is the Republican Jewish Coalition. And every year they put on a ton of events, but their big one, their big annual event, takes place in Las Vegas. And I went and spoke last year. And it was great. We spent two or three days there, me, Danielle and Gabriel, Brandon Tatum spoke, Scott Jennings spoke, Mark Levin spoke, Lee Zeldin spoke. In the past, last couple of years, everybody from Donald J. Trump to Mike Johnson, of course, the House leader. They spoke. So it's a very, very big deal. And it's an honor to be asked to speak there. And I'm going out there on August the 30th. So last year we went, and when we went last year, we stay at the Venetian, staying again this year, the Venetian. And right across the street from the Venetian hotel happens to be the sphere. You ever go there, no? I have not, no. Oh, my God, amazing, amazing place. So I couldn't go because I was working, but Danielle and Gabriel went, and they saw the Eagles in this sphere. How amazing is that? Yeah. Very first show ever in this sphere was you two. So when we were there, it was the Eagles and the Wizard of Oz. So Danny and Gabe saw the Eagles. So now they've got the Backstreet Boys. Neither my wife or my son are fans of the Backstreet Boys. So they started looking around other hotels and venues in Vegas for a show that we'd like to see. And Gabriel, he's only 17 years old, but he's got an old soul. He's a great kid. He saw that Rod Stewart is going to be at Caesars. And he knows how much I love Rod Stewart. Even Danielle said, okay. So the plan was today to buy tickets to see Rod Stewart at Caesars. But, well, something happened. And Rod Stewart now has canceled his shows. Do we know exactly Little Rufino what happened with Rod Stewart, why he canceled those shows at Caesars? He's having a coronary procedure done. Oh, my God. He's in his 80s now. A stent. Oh, he's getting a stent on? He's 81 years old, you know. And just last week in Kentucky...

at Rupp Arena with the Wildcats play, Barry Manilow had to cancel his show 30 minutes before concert time. He had it done already, by the way. Oh, Rod already had it done? Yes, so it's following. Got it. So he's in recovery, I think. So you got an 81-year-old Rod Stewart just canceled his show. 83-year-old Barry Manelow just canceled his show. In fairness to Barry Manelow, though, he canceled because it was technical problems with the stage. Oh, it was? Yeah, it had nothing to do with his voice. No kidding. Yeah. because he's recovering from lung cancer, of course. The point is both of those guys are in their 80s, and Barry has canceled shows this year due to his health. So we're not going to see Rod Stewart. So we're still looking for somebody else to see, but that's why we started this morning with Rod Stewart because we're all excited to see Rod in a couple of weeks. And you know what they say about best laid plans, Noam? What is that? They don't happen. They just don't happen, so. I think as we speak, April is looking all over Vegas for the next big show. Coming up in a couple of weeks when we head out to Sin City. All right, so let's get to the big story that is this Pierre de Terre Tax. Did I say that right now? You did. So Randy Maestro will join us later on today. He was the deputy mayor for Rudy Giuliani. He was the deputy mayor for Eric Adams. And now he's leading the charge for all of these New Yorkers who are being publicly humiliated and screwed by Zohran Mamdani. Believe it or not, it is Randy Mastro that is leading the charge. He will join me coming up this morning at 8 a.m. Kathy Hochul got involved yesterday. President Trump got involved yesterday. No, what's the latest? Well, it's just sort of escalating legal battle, political battle, over this new luxury second home surcharge. There were a ton of people. The rollout was really the... the biggest problem with this. The state legislature had signed off on this. But the rollout was chaotic. People were getting these tax bills who don't own a second home. They only own the home that they have in New York. And then there was this website. So if I'm right, the 17,000 people got letters, right? Something like that. And 4,300 filed for exemptions. But you're saying that a bunch of people on the list don't even have a second home? They don't. They're like, this is the only home I have. There were some people who talked to us from Staten Island. They were like, we got this letter. We don't know what to do with it. And the big issue here is the burden of proof should not be on the homeowners. It should be on the city to prove that they owe this money. And these people say, wait a minute, why should I have to go jump all these hurdles to prove to you that I don't own a second home? Because I don't own a second home. And so that's part of the issue too. And so there was this judge cited. with the people who are battling this and they say, hey, City Hall's got to figure this out before they go forward with it. So for right now, there is no pieter tax. There is none. I mean, there may still will be one, but for now the judge has stopped it. And Kathy Ockel is making the argument that, hey, if you could afford a $5 million house, then you should pay a lot of money in taxes. That's basically what she said yesterday, right? Yeah. If you're successful because you worked your ass off.

And you can afford to buy a beautiful second home, which is really the American dream, for the most part. Some people are corrupt. I get that. But for the most part, that's the American dream. And Kathy Hochul says, well, because you achieved that, we should penalize you. Right? Absolutely. Jesus. Bubba Wallace here from 2311 racing. You know what's slower than a pace car? waiting at the car wash. That's when I fire up Chumba Casino. It turns those slow minutes into fast fun. With new games every week, you'll never get bored.

VGW Group, Ford, where prohibited by law, 21 plus, terms and conditions apply. So Bruce Blakeman has so much ammunition running against this wicked witch who's done nothing to improve the lives of anybody in this state, especially... Upstate New York, where a lot of those cities are still falling apart. No jobs, drugs, high crime, whether it's Rochester, Syracuse, Binghamton, Monticello, Utica. I know I'm missing a bunch of cities, but she's done nothing to improve that. And certainly life right here in the big city is getting worse by the day. So... What exactly is Kathy Hinkle running on? I don't know because there was a census report that came out that said that New York had the second highest number of people leaving a state. California was number one last year. 139,000 people left New York last year. I mean, all different income brackets, so it wasn't just the wealthy. But. If you have a massive exodus of wealthy residents who are going to flee for other zero-income states like Texas and Florida, that's a huge problem for New York because they need that tax base to keep the city of Tom Homan. And they're leaving, like you said, by the drove. And I remember years ago when this all started, and Kathy Hochul actually said she was running against Lee Zeldin at the time, go. Hop on a plane, get on the plane with Lee Zeldin, and she mentioned him by name, and a few others by name. And she said go. And then a couple of months ago, when I was down in Fort Lauderdale, she was asking New Yorkers to come back. Come on back. Even though we are the highest taxed state in the country, even though we're 50 out of 50 in terms of growth, even though the mayor of New York City is a radical jihadist terrorist. Come on back, folks. Life is good. I mean, is she insane? Seriously, no. Yeah. Is she crazy? No, the issue here is the head of the Democratic Party in the country right now is Zohran Mamdani, right? So she has to caltow to him. He came to her and he said, I have this huge, gigantic budget hole, and you have to help me figure out how to fill it. And if you don't, I'll endorse another candidate for governor.

And so she didn't want that to happen because she saw how powerful he was in New York. And so she agreed to this and other things. But there is some good news in terms of these DSA psycho candidates running around the country. I had the Wisconsin Senator Ron Johnson on a couple of days ago. And to him it was a beta complete that this maniac, Francesca Hong, was going to win the Democrat nomination. for governor in Wisconsin. She's all out DSA. She wanted to cancel Thanksgiving. You remember all that? She went back on all of that and said, no, actually Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday, but too little too late because most people were shocked, including me, Hong actually lost yesterday. That was shocking, though. Yeah, David Crowley, the AP picked him as the winner. It was early this morning. They had to take a while to count the votes, but... She had, in some polls, a 10-point lead. 16 points, I saw one point. And she lost. Yeah. Now, there was a psycho DSA candidate that won in Minnesota, so I think they went one-in-one last night. But my good buddy was on this show yesterday, endorsed by President Trump live in person in Benminster, New Jersey. I was there a couple of weeks ago. Mike Lendell, he did not win. I think he came in second. He lost by 11 points, had 32% of the vote. So Mike Lindell will not be the choice for governor in the great state of Minnesota now, will he? No. No. Any other big, oh, actually, South Carolina, Lindsey Graham's sister. That is now headed to a runoff. I think she's beating Ralph Norman in the polls, but it's very, very close. But it looks like Lindsey Graham's sister is heading to a runoff. Yeah, you needed to win 50% plus one to win the primary outright last night, and nobody did that. So that's why you have. Two weeks from now, August 25th, it'll be, you know, Ralph Norman against Lindsay's sister. Oh, that's how it goes. So the rest of the folks are gone. It's just a two of them. And again, I think Lindsay's sister's up about eight, nine points. It's a pretty big lead. So that goes to August 25th? Yeah. The problem was there was a lot of candidates in that race. Right. There was a ton. Some of these, like Byron Donalds's, he was on this show yesterday. He's running for governor of Florida. And he is his primary on Tuesday. There were 12 people running, 12, even though there's only about 3 or 4, including Byron, that have a chance to win. There are 12 people running. So mind you, Noam, I got to keep up with all this stuff, all this stuff while I'm sitting with Randy Levine and Brian Cashman in the Bronx last night at Yankee Stadium watching the Yankees and the Mariners. Not easy. and only getting about three hours of sleep. Not easy. Were you sitting in between the two of them? No, actually, I was inside the suite with Randy, and then you exit the suite, and you got a great view of the game on the field, and right outside the door where me and Randy, the president of the Yankees, were watching the game. About three rows down is where Brian Cashman sits.

So I went outside and sat with Brian for a couple of minutes and talked about the yanks and all that good stuff. He was very nice. So there I was last night, once again hobnobbing with the big Yankee people. And then I saw Steinbrenner, not Hal, I believe his wife, later on that night as I exited the stadium sometime around the eighth inning. So there I was last night with the Yankee brass. But I got to tell you. The big highlight of being in Randy Levine's suite last night, besides having my dear friends here, Keith Kanchowitz, and Dr. Brad Wasserman, and we had Mark Oranger. We love Mark Oranger and Dr. Jamie Vanderberg. The big star in the suite last night was a guy named Rob O'Neill. You know what that is known? I don't, no. You don't? Okay. Rob O'Neill was a member of Team 6 Navy SEAL. And Rob O'Neill was the American hero that put a bullet right between the eyes of Osama bin Laden. Now you remember? I do. He was here. He was. He was. He was in suit with me and Bernie more than once. I remember that. I haven't taught to Rob O'Neill in years since Bernie died. God rest my late partner's soul. His daughter's getting married, October 10th. We love you, Melanie. So Rob O'Neill in Randy Levine's suite last night. And everybody, last time I was in Randy Levine's suite a couple of weeks ago, I was on the way to Israel the very next morning. And who was in that suite that night? Only a couple of nights after they beat San Antonio to win the NBA championship. You remember Jalen Brunson and Josh Hart. And the place went nuts, literally a couple of days after the Knicks won the championship. Jalen and Josh threw out the first pitch at Yankee Stadium. They're in Wendy Levine Sweet. I'm there with Danielle Ava and Gabe, and they were very, very nice. So I've not been back to Yankee Stadium since. So last night we go from Jalen Brunson, New York Nick Hero, to Rob O'Neill, American Hero. Pretty good, huh? That's pretty cool, yeah. Very, very cool. And everybody was so excited to see Rob last night. You know, look, you got 9-11 coming up in a couple of weeks. Ready to put a little spin on your day?

We've had Giovanni Galante on this show twice. He's a courageous Staten Island native. His wife was murdered. Grace, 29 years old, in the South Tower. A couple days ago, we had his buddy on with him, Charles Wolfe, his wife, 40 years old at the time. Catherine also murdered. And we've been on top of, if not really the face. We are the face of trying to keep the mayor away from this 9-11 event. You know how Rob O'Neill feels, right? He lives in Scarsdale, I believe, but not a very big fan of the mayor. So the last couple of days we've been playing on this show, audio from folks who were forced to say goodbye. Yesterday was a young girl, 23 years old, beautiful young lady.

who was killed inside the towers. She was on the 104th floor. We don't know if she just burned to death or elected to jump out the window like so many did. This morning, you heard from a lady by the name of Lauren Grand Colas. She was on United Flight 93. And you remember that story. The other three planes had already hit two at the World Trade Center, one at the Pentagon. This one, we believe, was on its way to the White House when the passengers became aware of what happened earlier that morning and said, no. You remember the name Todd Beamer? You remember that? He was one of the passengers. He was late for the plane. They shut the doors. They shut the doors, and he begged them, please, I got to get where I got to go. Please. And they never do this. They opened the door for him. And he was killed. But he was one of the many heroic passengers on that plane that day. And eventually they stormed the cockpit and tried to wrestle, control the plane away from the terrorists. And the plane crashed in Shanksville, Pennsylvania, United Flight 93. So this was in the open, but it's worth playing again. This is Lauren Grand Colas. And... saying goodbye to her husband. To make this story even worse, Lauren Grand Colas was three months pregnant at the time of this horrific event. This is cut number three. Well, Sid de Rosenberg, is going to be hosting the Giants pregame show on Sunday at 1130 in the morning outside the bubble at Giant Stadium. Go out and beat the hell out of Sid. You know, MSNBC has just flashed on my screen. It looks like there is a plane has crashed into the World Trade Center. Honey, are you there? Back. Stick up, sweetie. Okay, well, I just wanted to tell you I love you. We're having a real problem on the plane. I'm totally fine. I just love you more than anything. Just know that.

I just love you, please tell my family I love them too. Bye, honey. Lauren Grand Colas. This lady was also on the plane. Her name was Linda Grandland. And she called her sister to tell her sister the plane's been hijacked. This one is so intimate that you even hear on the message. Linda tell her sister. The combination for a safe inside her bedroom, unlike Lauren who maintained her call, Linda does not. So this is Linda Granland, also on United Flight 93. Lewis, this is cut number four. Sid de Rosenberg is going to be hosting the Giants pregame show on Sunday at 1130. in the morning outside the bubble at giant stadium go out and they beat the hell out of sit you know MSNBC has just flashed on my screen it looks like there is a plane has crashed into the world trade center I only have a minute. I'm on United 93, and it's been hijacked by terrorists. They have a bomb. Apparently, they have flown a couple of planes into the World Trade Center already. It looks like they're going to take this one down as well. Mostly, I just wanted to say, I love you. And I'm going to miss you. And please give my love to watch that.

Mostly I just love you, and I just wanted to tell you that. I don't know if I'm going to be interested to tell you that again or not. My stuff is in a safe. The safe is in my closet, my bedroom. A combination is to push deep or clear, and then 09-13, and then it should, and maybe pound, and then it should unlock. I love you, and I hope I can talk to you soon. Bye. Geez. Ah, she did not talk to him again soon. So part of the reason why I keep playing this stuff every day and bringing back these horrific memories, we are now exactly 30 days away from 9-11, today 30 days away. And I started this July the 6th before anybody else is because I'm hoping, and I know there's no hope, but I'm hoping that this scumbag mayor, This happens to be in his car one morning, and I know he hates my guts. He hates me with a passion, and he should, because I hate him too. But I'm just hoping that he puts this show on, or somebody sends him one of these tapes, Lauren Granclos today, Linda Cronland today, the young lady yesterday who was murdered at the age of 23. And I will play this as long as I continue to... Get these audio tapes. I will play them every day. And we'll see if this mayor has any heart. I don't think he does. I really don't. I think he's a terrible person. Terrible. Because you cannot be friendly with the people he associates himself with and loves people like Hasan Piker, Mahmoud Khalil. You cannot be around those people and be a decent person. So I don't really have any hope that this mayor is going to do the right thing, but that's not going to stop me from doing what I'm doing every morning and hope. Right? In many situations in life, not just here, hope no one is all we've got. So my hope is that this creep, here's it where somebody gets to him, and bringing on people like Giovanni Galante and Charles Wolfe, I've got other 9-11 victim families that will come on over the next couple of weeks. And maybe one day he'll wake up and say, okay, I give up, fine. I doubt it. I mean, I really doubt it. But I got to keep trying, right, no? You do. You do. And, you know, in the process, you make him really uncomfortable. At least he'll feel that. He'll feel like he's not wanted while he's there and uncomfortable and looking over his shoulder because he knows a fair amount of the families don't want him there. That's right. And that's all going to come to ahead on September the 8th. when me and Bruce Blakeman and a bunch of these families, including Giovanni Galante, will line up outside the steps of City Hall, Scott Labato to, right in front of the mayor's face, and urge him once again not to show up. And even above and beyond the mayor, what this does know is for the Grand Coler's family, for the Grand Lawn family. I know it's painful to hear this. But you know what?

25 years later, they deserve to be heard. These people who just went to work that day in the World Trade Center, like the young girl yesterday, or these people on airplanes, hijacked by 19 Muslims, I said it, hijacked by 19 Muslims, not Orthodox Jews, not Italians, not the Germans or the Irish, 19 Muslims. Four different planes. crashing and killing nearly 3,000 people that day in three different places. And these people deserve to be remembered. So I'm really, and I hate to use this term killing, but killing two birds with one stone by hoping the mayor shows a little bit of heart and at the same time showing the victims the grace and honor. And respect they deserve. Because these audio tapes are gut-wrenching. I mean, I cry every one of them. Every one of them. And it's just ironic that today happens to be Wednesday. And we do every two weeks our Tunnel to Tower's update. And we still all think of Stephen Siller on this day and his amazing brother, Frank Siller, the whole Siller family. that made sure that Stephen, who ran with 70 pounds of equipment through the battery tunnel, into a burning building, and was killed. But to make sure that Stephen, his memory lives on, and we never forget. And I do a lot of spots for a lot of companies, and I love them all. And there's a lot of charities I get involved with. My favorite happens to be Disproxyad DCD America.org because that's inspired by my son. But I really do believe in my heart of hearts that the best charity anywhere in the world is Tunnel to Towers.

And I know Frank Siller is probably listening, and I just want to thank Frank Siller on behalf of all Americans in the memory of his brother Stephen for doing the amazing work that he does. 30 days away, Noam. You know, if you Google the work that they've done, I was with my kid who was visiting colleges and we were down in South Carolina. And we happened to stay at a hotel in North Charleston where they're opening a veterans home for injured veterans. Yes. And that's sponsored by them that they built.

And so I asked him, there was a guy out front, I said, do you mind if I get a tour of the place? It was incredible, said. It was amazing what was inside this place. What they do for these. And if you saw it, you'd hand over your check. No, I know. Bank account. What they do for these catastrophically injured veterans and for the families, they pay off the mortgages of people that did not make it home. You know, I did put in the open, and you should see the video. I'm going to play it again right now. President Trump. So he's walking somewhere in lower Manhattan. He's got a whole bunch of construction guys all over New York City. This is 2001. 25 years ago, this guy looked so presidential, sounded so presidential, wearing his red tie and talking about that tragic day, how brutal it was. So let's take you back to that day. President Trump, who at the time was just real estate developer and casino owner Donald J. Trump, walking around the damage and talking about what that day looked like here in New York. This would be President Trump, Lewis. This would be cut number five. I think we'll do fine. Donald, what do you think about all this? You're a developer. You've built buildings all your life. Well, there's never been anything like this. It's disgraceful. And I hope we attack fast. I hope we find out who it is and go fast. Okay. How do you want to come down here today? I have about 100 men working down here, so just to spur them on. Hi, folks. And I hear doing an amazing job, so I just want to give them some support. Is there a man from my company? We have another 100 coming in a little while. They're brave guys. A couple of them got hurt. What did you think when you heard about that? I was just down to Ground Zero. Ground Zero is a disaster. I've never seen anything like this. I hope we act very quickly. I hope we find out who did it and act accordingly. 25 years ago, looking and sounding very presidential, my dear friend Donald J. Trump. I'm going to see this Friday. Looking forward to that in Nassau County at the Police Academy, me, Bruce Blakeman, Kash Patel, Todd Blanche. A whole bunch of Long Island politicians will all be there as President Trump addresses the crowd about law and order, how safe Nassau County is, led by their great police commissioner, Pat Ryder, one of the great police guys all across the country. And you're going to be out there at about 3 o'clock on Friday. Really is there to endorse and support his dear friend Bruce Blakeman. We're all going to be there on Friday celebrating President Donald J. Trump. And something tells me, well, I know this for a fact. He'll be here on 9-11 for the 25-year commemoration. And who knows? Who knows where President Trump may end up that night? I don't know. We'll see. Sid and Friends in the morning on the Red Apple Podcast Network. He was a great 45th president of the United States. Now he's the 47th. You know, I used to say he's the best president in my lifetime. But I've amended that. I can do that. He is the best president in the history of the United States. My friend, President Donald J. Trump, Mr. President, I missed you. Welcome back. Well, what a welcome. That is I think I like that. Maybe that goes to number one all time. That's about as good as you can get.

I can't get any better than that. Thank you very much. I feel the same way about you. I don't think you can get from Nassau County on the island to the Hamptons in 30 minutes, unless you're taking a helicopter. So my guess is Bruce will jump in a helicopter, and I'll go home. I did plan on going to the Hamptons with Bruce. Got a big event with Steve Witkoff in Southampton. But time will not allow that, not with President Trump speaking Friday afternoon. So. I don't have to go back to the Hamptons for the second time in Five Nights, Kristi Noem, which doesn't really upset me, to be honest. Don't you feel bad, Kristi Noem? I do feel bad. Did you analyze that sentence? You get the whole thing there, Kristi Noem? I did. When's the last time, Kristi Noem, you said, I won't be able to get back to the Hamptons in time from the last time I was at the MAM. You know, I was thinking about you, your son of a bitch last night, Lou, because I do want to send a shout out this morning to. Talking about Tunnel to Towers. You heard that piece right there every other Wednesday. Leslie Slender used to work here. She started that whole thing. She's done an amazing job with them over the years, and she still listens every morning, every morning. Her and Tachanelli and Dougie, all of them. So good morning to Leslie. And the amazing Marianne from Brooklyn, who's listening right now, Howard Sternfeb, but loves this show too. So I'm walking to the seats at Yankee Stadium last night. It's a pretty far walk. I had to walk from behind home plate downstairs to not the Whitefield corner, but out there in right field, pretty far walk. We're all walking me, Keith and Mark and Brad and all of us. And the fans are going nuts. Sid! Sid! Sid, run for mayor. Sid, you're the greatest. Sid, thank you. And yes, you're going to hate this, Lou. Let me try to guess. Take a guess. Three out of five fans were crying. One! One lady literally driven to tears. Oh, that's the one you showed me out from your phone. Oh, no, wait. You didn't show me from your phone because it didn't happen. No, it happened. Not only did it happen, but I was forced to jump into the stands, Nikki Pateu style, and take a picture with the lady. I swear to God. Now, her husband was sitting there, and she goes, to be honest, my husband is a bigger band than I am, but he's shy. He's embarrassed, and I'm not. So I took the picture with her. And definitely neither are you. Neither am I. Then her and her husband. But yes, Lou, I note to your dismay, you too know, this woman was in tears. Unbelievable but true. Unbelievable but true. What is in your head that you actually believe what you're actually saying? It happens. It happens. And it happens all the time. Well, what were the fans around or doing? Like, hey, why are you crying? No.

No, in fact, the fans around, we're also fans of our show. Hey, Sid, good to see you, Sid. Nice to see you here in the Bronx. At the Mets, Femats, blah, blah, blah. All night long, wherever I walked last night, I got mobbed. Run for mayor, run for mayor, we need you. We need more voices like you. God bless you, you, Sid, we love you. I never miss a day, never, ever, ever. And this one woman was literally in tears. I fail to understand how... That actually could take place that somebody would be crying. Don't you think I fail to understand too? No. No, you don't fail. You actually do understand it. I'm like, come on. This is crazy. I love it. You are happy. Oh, I'm so happy. Hey, listen. Just cry a little bit, but don't get crazy, you know. So then the first 10 minutes in the car with Oranger on the way back, I'm going, I wish that bastard Lou was here to see this. And Kristi Noem. They both made fun of me. Oh, so did any of them see this? Yes, Orange is sorry. I'm going to text. Text Oranger right now. Get him on the phone right now. Get him on the damn it. Call him. Get him on the bone. Okay. I think he saw it. Don't touch your phone. I'm not doing a thing. I think he saw it. Yes. Yes. Bastards. I think he saw it. Chairman, I need to be refreshed here. Could I have a little bit of a break? Sid and Friends in the morning on the Red Apple Podcast Network. Hello, it is Ryan, and I was on a flight the other day playing one of my favorite social spin slot games on Chumbacasino.com.

And you know what we're doing is I'm supposed to hate Tucker Carlson because he's an anti-Semite and he's this, I know you're not, you're not an anti-Semite. I'm 100% know that you're not an anti-Semite. No, no, that's what my point being is that. I would just say so. My point being is, is that, like, if it's anti-Semitic to point out that Benjamin Netanyahu is evil incarnate, then you know what? I don't know what to say to people anymore. I mean, all you have to do is just open your eyes. Just literally open your eyes. Open your heart for one minute. Yeah. Then realize, you know, I... It's such an obvious lie. It's like, who's even intimidated by that anymore? My point is, is like, how is it possible? that they're dividing us on things like that. How much money is that bitch? How much Arab money is that guy getting from Qatar? I want to know. So Hunter Biden, who's a criminal, not because he's a junkie, I'm a recovering addict too, but he's a real junkie, a low-life loser, and a criminal sitting there with Tucker Carlson, telling all of us people like me that we're the bad guys. referring to Benjamin Netanyahu as evil incarnate. So when I was arguing way back when, you remember, right after October 7th, with all these Jews and others who were telling me that the Biden family, they're pro-Israel, they love Israel, and that every opportunity, Joe Biden would humiliate Benjamin Netanyahu and do the wrong thing. In terms of Israel, and there's his son, his beloved son, referring to BB as evil incarnate. Hunter Biden and Tucker Carlson, could you imagine how much dumber my audience just got? Seriously. I mean, first of all, Hunter could barely speak. I've seen him do two interviews the last couple of days. Tucker Carlson and Nick Fuentes. Those are the interviews that the former president of the United States son is doing. Tucker Carlson and Nick Fuentes. And there's a whole generation of idiots out there that believe all this nasty stuff about Israel, all the lies, genocide, Miriam Adelson, B.Benjamin Netanyahu, idiots. Morons, hateful, morons. And people like Hunter Biden and Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens, they continue to peddle that stuff every day. So Justin News has a story out this morning. You got to read it, my guy John Solomon. It reads, FBI had 14 informants on Biden corruption. but ran secret up to dismiss evidence as disinformation. Kind of reminds me of James Comey and Hillary. But let's talk to the great John Solomon. John, good morning, buddy. How are you? Good morning. I was listening to that great monologue, and I'll say something about the Biden administration in Israel. It's a very important story we did about a year ago. After the Hamas atrocities.

of 2020, where all those heinous crimes were occurred, occurred against Jews, against crimes against humanity. I think one could argue. The Biden administration asked Qatar to reestablish Hamas' center in Qatar and allow them to start functioning normally again. The people who perpetrated, organized, plotted the October 23rd massacre. They could have been brought back to the United States to be faced charges. hey, open up their office again. Let them keep functioning like normal human beings. We were able to confirm that about a year ago. It gives you a sense of the Biden administration's concern for Israel, concern for crimes against humanity, but it's a story that should get a lot of attention because it's inexplicable. We should have extradited the Hamas leadership to face criminal charges here, not let them have a luxury office in Qatar. Cutter didn't want them, and the Biden administration made them open up an office again. Let's say let them function again like a normal. organization, pretty remarkable. No, it is. And again, I have no doubt in my mind that people like Tucker Carlson are getting big money from countries like that. And look, nobody loves President Trump more than me. I'm going to see him on Friday. Nobody's been better to Israel and the Jewish people in that seat than President Trump. But he also has this fascination with Qatar and the money coming from Qatar. So the last two administrations, for some reason, seem to be warming up to Qatar. Can you explain that to me? Oh, he's gone. He didn't like that question. I guess that was a tough question to answer. Why are both administrations warming up to Qatar? As soon as I ask it, John Solomon's phone drop. You know, he's got a special job now with the White House. I don't know if you know that. It's not a paid position, but he does work with the White House. So I think he's back on the phone with Justin. Instead of putting them back on hold? Not yet. Not yet. Okay. Yeah, but the Trump administration also, let's get back to you, John, the Trump administration also kind of cozying up to Qatar. What is that all about? Why is this country the last two administrations all of a sudden part of our everyday conversation? The truth of the... intelligence agency relationship with America. It does a lot of what America wants in the Middle East, even though it has been friendly to Iran and friendly to many of the other countries in the region. But from an intelligence standpoint, it has been a valuable intelligence partner for a long time. And I think as a result, it gets special treatment, gets special tasking orders from the United States. It just is. the reality of how the intelligence world works, that Qatar, which oftentimes will support causes that America doesn't believe in, like Iran, will be called on us to do things. And they seem to be a willing partner a lot of the time. The Biden request to Qatar, though, in 2023 is beyond anything I've ever seen. At that moment, there was worldwide.

moral authority to round up Hamas's leadership and to make them pay for what they did. And the Biden administration didn't take that action. I think it's a missed opportunity for crimes against humanity. But that window has now long passed. But it's something the Biden administration and Hunter and Joe have to own. Yeah. You know, I was at the Yankee game last night and I was in. The Yankees. Yeah. And Randy Levine's box. And there was a big celebrity in there last night, John. His name is Rob O'Neill. And he was the Navy SEAL-6 who shot Osama bin Laden right between the eyes. And the story is similar with Bill Clinton, who had not one, not two, but three opportunities to bring bin Laden back. And he didn't do it either. What was that all about? Well, I'll tell you. you want even worse than that. A couple, about a decade ago now, I was able to get declassified a memo from Bill Clinton. I want to remind everybody that in the 1990s, Bill Clinton and Louis Free, the FBI director, fought. Louis Free said that Iran was behind the Cobar Tower's attack that killed our soldiers in Saudi Arabia. Bill Clinton kept insisting they weren't. Well, in a private communication that I was able to get declassified, Bill Clinton told the Iranian mullahs, I know you did co-bar tires. I know you're behind it, but we're not going to out you for it because we want to try to get better relations with Iran. Another great example of democratic appeasement to a regime that has done nothing but kill Americans for 47, 48 years now. Bill Clinton a lot of times has a reputation as being a moderate on foreign policy, but in truth. When it came to Iran, he cowed to them, and he secretly kept the American people from knowing that Iran was behind, one of the great terror attacks, one of the worst terror attacks in the 1990s. And so another good example of documents coming out much later that exposed the sort of the policy of appeasement that Democrats have had, particularly in the Middle East. Jimmy Carter, Iran, Bill Clinton, Iran, Barack Obama and Joe Biden and Iran all had policies of appeasement. to a regime that has been nothing but lethal to the United States. And it's important to know this because so many Americans, not so many, I think it's exaggerated, the number, but many Americans are down on President Trump because of this war. He lied to us. What happened to America first? And they're stupid. I mean, I'm so tired of arguing with these people. I really am. Even Fox News, who may have banned me for life. I don't even know. I don't care. But because they're stupid. Because the truth is, as you just pointed out, Iran started this war 47 years ago. All these Democrat presidents allowed them to do what they wanted. Americans, forget about Israelis. Forget about the Houthis. Forget about Hamas. Forget about Hezbollah. Americans have been murdered all over the world for the better part of five decades. How much more proof, John... Solomon, do these American morons need? We have body bags aglore. We've had them for decades. Our soldiers came home from Iraq, killed by IEDs made by Iran. We've had terror attacks, Cobar Tower, and so many others that go all the way back to the barracks and the Marine barracks in Lebanon during the Reagan years. This is a regime that has chanted death to America and delivered death to America. And this president has finally made a decision that because it was getting closer to nuclear weapons.

He was going to make sure that he could never attack America again. And he's done that. He stayed true to his or he stayed true to his objectives. And I think now he'll wait out Iran and see if it financially and militarily collapses. We'll see what comes of it. But Iran is highly diminished compared to where it was a year ago or two years ago. Its nuclear program is demolished. Most of its Air Force and Navy demolished. You can fire a missile here or there, but that's about it. And that is a much safer posture for the Middle East. And while the President has done this, he's done something else. He's brought the Arab countries and Israel closer together in an alliance. And he's rewiring the Middle East for a new generation of America that won't have to worry about it as big as security threat as it was to our generation, Sid. No doubt. And, you know, when people also say to me and they do that President Trump has lost some of his luster and that a lot of his base, some even tell me half his base have abandoned him. And if he ran again, he wouldn't win. And I go, where is that proof? Let me ask you something. Over 90%, this is a statistical fact, over 90% of the Republicans that President Trump has endorsed over the last couple of months in their statewide races, all won. And then you get the guys that stab Trump in the back, people like Bill Cassidy, people like Thomas Massie, and others, and they all lost, embarrassing losses. So if his people are winning and the backstabers are losing, How do you explain your comment that he's lost a ton of his base? Yeah, I don't believe he's lost his base at all. Anyone has ever been to any of his rallies in the last couple weeks, even the one where the little child tried to run off stage and the president captured him, which was a great walk. Norman Rockwell moment for presidents. The base is there with him. The primary wins are a great example. He lost couple, Lundell, but those were kind of controversial ones that were going to be long shots anyways. But the bases with him, whether you go to an event, whether you look at his point, look at the Rasmey's and poll. He's still in the mid-40s, which is where... A president in his second term typically tends to hover. His base has not left him. And I think in the fall, you'll see an energized Republican base going out and trying to turn the tide of history. You know me, a mid-jerm election would be unfavorable to Republicans. I think the Republicans could do better than people think. And that will be on the strength of the relationship between Donald Trump and his base. And so I'm not convinced that I don't know where these reports are. There's a few loud mouths. Many of them, I think, moving more towards a libertarian, non-Republican position like Tucker Carlson, that are making a lot of noise. But when I look at it, when I go to an event, when I talk to people, when I look at the polling data, the base of Donald Trump is aligned as they ever were. And anyone who underestimates that?

does so at their own political risk. That is well said. Yeah, Tucker Carlson and Marjorie Taylor Greene, all these disgruntled and disenchanted former Trump lovers that spend their days and nights and they get a couple of million people on watching their podcast or on Twitter and they act as if they run the world. They run the narrative and they don't. They're not even close. Again, all the proof you need is in these races. Trump candidates win, people who don't like Trump or turn their back on Trump, they lose. That's real proof of how President Trump is still the man. Lastly, there's also still a lot of people out there that say that this Iran war is BB's war. It's Israel's war. Miriam Aedelson makes all of Trump's decisions. It's all Miriam because she gives them so much money and BB and all that. What do you thoughts when somebody says to John Solomon, this has never been Trump's war? This is all about Israel. Tucker Carlson said it again two days ago with Hunter Biden as that crackhead nodded in agreement. What are your thoughts when you hear that? Well, I did the reporting. I went back to January and February in the time frame when the president made the decision to... go attack Iran a second time. So a year ago, he attacked it because they were getting close to nuclear weapon. That was a threat to America, not just to Israel. In that February time frame, he started to get some significant intelligence. This is the things I learned as a reporter, that China was considering giving it a hypersonic missile, that Russia was selling it, shoulder-filed missiles and other armaments that would make it more lethal in the Middle East and the president was not going to allow that to become a threat to our troops. and our people in the Middle East. And so he took preemptive action to keep the thug that has terrorized the Middle East there. Those decisions were America decisions first. They were America first decisions first. They were based on intelligence. They were based on Iran's bad behavior. And I don't think anyone can go back and look at that period and say, oh, wait, Israel was wagging the dog. And he wasn't. The president looked at the intelligence, saw a threat to American interest. and then took action to make sure that Iran couldn't carry that out. And I think that that's what history will show when the books are unsealed one day, and when we get all of the intelligence to classified, the president made a decision based on threats to American interests, not threats to Israeli interests. Were the Israelis happy, of course? But they haven't always been unhappy. There's lots of things that President Trump has not done that Israel wanted over the last six months, once again proving that the American interest is what's dominating the president's decisions. That's right. They want Trump to drop the bomb. That's what Israelis want. They want complete annihilation. That's what they want. They're not getting it, so clearly BB is not calling the shots. FBI had 14 informants on Biden corruption, but ran secret opt to dismiss evidence as disinformation that is written by my dear friend right here, the brilliant John Solomon, on just the news this morning. And as always, John, amazing appearance. Thank you so much.

I love it. I love you too. Thank you. John Solomon right there on Sid and Friends in the morning once again. Tyler Reddick here from 2311 racing. Victory Lane?

Check out his column this morning on Just the News. We'll take a break. We've got a whole bunch more news to come your way. Sid and Friends in the morning. on the Red Apple Podcast Network. Well, Sid Rosenberg is going to be hosting the Giants pregame show on Sunday at 1130 in the morning outside the bubble at Giant Stadium. Go out and beat the hell out of Sid. You know, MSNBC has just flashed on my screen. It looks like there is a... A plane has crashed into the World Trade Center? Elsa, it's Lynn. I only have a minute. I'm on United 93, and it's been hijacked by terrorists who say they have a bomb. Apparently, they have flown a couple of planes into the World Trade Center already. It looks like they're going to take this one down as well. Mostly, I just wanted to say I love you. And I'm going to be able to. And please give my love to work.

And I'll see why I just love you, and I just wanted to tell you that. I don't know if I'm going to be interested to tell you that again or not. Um, my stuff is in a safe. The, uh, the safe is in my closet, my bedroom. A combination is to push deep or clear and then 09-1-3. And then, uh, and then it should, and maybe pound, and then it should unlock. I love you, and I hope I can talk to you soon. Bye. United Flight 93 on that tragic day. And we all know, of course, that flight, thanks to the courage of the passengers, did not hit the target, which a lot of us believe was the White House. Instead, crashed in a field, amazingly, where there were no civilians, in Shanksville, Pennsylvania. Linda Gronlin said, I hope I have a chance to tell you I love you again. She never got that chance. And as difficult as it is to listen to these audio tapes from that day, I will play them every day. As I mentioned in the last hour, with the hope that this mayor, this jihad terrorist, Piece of garbage mayor actually comes to the realization that nobody wants them there. Nobody. And secondly, to honor some of these people as difficult as maybe for the families who they haven't seen in 25 years. So that's what I'm trying to accomplish here is maybe it gets to the mayor. I doubt it, but maybe. And the families deserve the respect. and grace and honor from all of us, as we now are just 30 days away, 30 days away from 9-11. Later on tonight, folks, I want to remind you, it's a big night, my dear friend, Vicki Palladino, one of our five Republican city council members, 46 Democrats, five Republicans, Frank Morano and David Carr on Staten Island, Inna Kov in Brooklyn, Joanne Ariola in my neighborhood, and of course, Vicki and Queens. 46 Democrats, about 25 of them are lunatics, complete lunatics. But Vicki is one of our great people here in New York, an amazing fighter. She's got their August meeting tonight at the White Stone Republican Club. Our good friend Jacqueline Toberoff is the guest tonight. Jacqueline's going to speak about a variety of issues.

Former New Yorker moved to Boca Raton, Florida, but still writes for the New York Post and is one of the best columnists in the country. Fresh Opera Fox News appearance yesterday morning. Carol Markowitz is back on Sid and Friends in the morning. Sid and Friends in the morning on the Red Apple Podcast Network. The great Byron Donalds's. There's primary elections. They happen every time you have an open seat, especially for a seat as important as governor. But we've been doing incredibly well. Obviously, having the full endorsement of President Trump, former governor, our current Senator Rick Scott, 43 of our sheriffs in the state of Florida have backed our campaign, not to mention the congressional delegation, the vast majority of the state legislature. We've been able to really crisscross the state. The message has been clear. It's been about tackling affordability issues, insurance, and housing costs in our state and taxes and having real plans to fix that for the people of our state. But the other side of it is keeping the Florida dream alive and well, making sure we defend that from the radical left. You know, people come here. It's for a way of life. It's not just the beaches and the taxes. It's a way of life. It's common sense, conservative limit living. Anytime I talk to anybody from Florida, Rick Scott's on this show all the time, Byron on yesterday and many others. I think of my friend Carol Markowitz, I saw on TV yesterday on Fox News, and she's proud New Yorker. She got out of here. She now lives in Boca Raton. She's annoying like Sean Hannity, you know, like, how did I ever even live in New York? It's so dirty. It's so filthy. You've got Zohran Mamdani. Oh, that's true. Okay, but you're great today, Carol and Sean, because of New York. If you lived in bulk of your whole life, you wouldn't be great. Trust me. So with that said, here she is, the amazing New York Post columnist. My friend Carol Marco, it's good morning, Carol. Hi, Sid. Thanks so much for having me. And I have to tell you, I told Sean Hannity to move to Florida on TV. I have a clip of it. I was an early adopter, and I told him he should get out of New York, and then he did. But what is it about you, people? You know how much I love you. I think you're happy. I'm happy you're happy. And the truth is you do live in a much better place. I mean, there's very hot. There's a lot of big bugs and people are generally stupid or they care about having dinner and the neighbor and golfing. But why can't you just enjoy it without just... maligning New York at every opportunity. You know what? It's not maligning. I care about New York. I wanted to turn itself around. I would love if New York was doing better. I hate what's going on now. I still have family here. I still have friends here. I'm in New York right now. I am recording this from Long Island, New York. And I really love this place. And I wish that it would be better because I didn't think I would leave and New York would get even worse than it was in 2022 when we got out of here. But that's what's happened. The Zohran Mamdani thing is insane. I mean, everything he does is just, it's ill thought out, and it's just ineffective. I mean, just the pita terror tax, for example. Like, I think the pita tear tax is a terrible idea. It's going to push out the people who are who can leave the easiest. I mean, all of that. But then the way that they did it where they ran everybody's information publicly and they completely got it wrong where a judge had to step in and say you have to stop this.

I mean, I don't want that for New York. I want New York to do well. I wanted to go back to the Giuliani years, to the Bloomberg years, where it was thriving and doing amazing. And then I could look at it from Florida and be like, yeah, that's my home state. That's my home city. I love it. I wanted to do well. It's just not. And so when I tell people, look, life can be better elsewhere. I'm telling them that because I used to be the New Yorker that couldn't. possibly imagine living anywhere else. I was that person. So I want them to just know that there are options for them. There is somewhere you can go where things function, where everything is better. What Byron Donalds said that we went to Florida for something is exactly it. Like when people are like, oh, the weather and all that, that's all a great side bonus. But what we're doing in Florida is working together towards something good and better. And we don't need to explain to anybody why. lower crime is good or why you want to have less homelessness. We've had all those conversations and we've come out the other end. Oh, I'm coming back. Don't get me wrong. Oh, I know. My son is going to college. He's going to college there next year. I'm going to buy a place in Fort Lauderdale or Miami Boca. I don't know. And I'll be back because of everything you just said. And talking about Byron, you know, I brought up James Fishbacked yesterday. And he said, I don't even talk about him. What a loser. He's another Jew that bashes B.B. and bashes Israel. You know, it's one thing. He's Jewish? He's not Jewish. He's Catholic. No, he's Jewish. He's Jewish. No, he had a Catholic wedding. I know, but I think I got it. We'll double-check that for me. Maybe you're right. But either way, you know, when Tucker Carlson and Hunter Biden sit down, those two losers, I mean, could you imagine a bigger loser fest than Tucker Carlson and Hunter Biden referring to BBS, evil incarnate a couple days ago? That's one thing. But he, Byron, said to me, no, I don't even pay attention. It looks like, at least, on paper, that Byron will get the easy win down there, yes? Oh, yeah. He's going to, it's going to be a landslide. I mean, I think he's going to get over 50%, probably. It's really, and I don't think fishback clears 10%, and I'm, I would be surprised if he even gets that high. Yeah. He's a fringe candidate. He is appealing to the worst common denominator, lowest common denominator. And look, is it a problem that he even gets that amount? Of course, but... It is a problem everywhere. And I think Florida has a better situation and a better handle on it than a lot of places. You know, a thing that I, anti-Semitism is obviously a problem. But the thing that I keep mentioning is New York had more anti-Semitic attacks, more physical, aggressive attacks on Jews than all the red states combined. I mean, that is a figure that, you know, nobody talks about it. But that is the reality that New York is in. And even when you do like. but per capita. And even if you do, like, how many Jews live in every place, New York still has the worst situation. My hometown of Brooklyn in particular. Oh, it's terrible. Brooklyn is terrible.

You know, Vernacov was trying to fight that every day. You do have another race. She's great. Another race down there that I keep an eye on. He's a Democrat, but I kind of like him as Jared Moskowitz. And he's going up against this larkin maniac, another DSA lunatic. I don't think Mosquist is going to lose either, right? No, I don't think so. I think he wins that primary. And then I don't know. It looks like Scott Singer, the mayor of Boko is heading. I love him. Being his opponent. Yeah. I look, I, I. Jared Moskowitz is obviously one of the better Democrats, but I still want the Republican to win. I think the Republican is far better. And I think that that's, you know, like, it's great that there's some sane Democrats out there, but the party itself is in peril. No question. I was actually standing next to Scott Singer. Can't make this up. I had no idea who he was. He told me he was the mayor of Boca. And President Trump called me up on stage at the White House, night three of Hanukkah. Standing right next to Scott Singer. Yeah. He was singer standing next to me, so I'm rooting for him too. And you're right about the party. He is great. You're right about the party. The last story you wrote in the New York Post, let these like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez need to answer some questions before we move on from woke one. And, you know, listen, she is one of these candidates that started this whole DSA thing. And I distinctly remember her and Zohran Mamdani dancing on a float at the Puerto Rican Day parade a couple of years ago. And now she's talking about running for president of the United States. And here's what's scary, Carol, if she does run, I'm telling you, she can win. Oh, she can win. Yeah, she has the appeal to young people. I think she's got a lot of things going for her. And that's why she's trying to walk back all of her crazy ideas right now. She's trying to make us forget. that not only did she want to defund the police, when New York proposed a steep cut to the police department, to the NYPD, she said no. When we say defund the police, we mean zero dollars for police departments. We mean actually defunding police. She wants to close down prison. She refers to pregnant people, not pregnant women. I mean, she was the epitome of that cancel culture time where if you said the wrong thing, people like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez would be coming for you. And remember her line, there's no going back to brunch. There's no going back to brunch. We were all going to be activists forever for their causes. I don't know. I think the fact that she's allowed to even laugh off woke one, like ha, ha, ha, woke one was so crazy. No, we can't let her do that. Wong lost yesterday in Wisconsin. That's a big win for us, right? But, you know, but that's great. And she was supposed to, when she was up double-digit points. But still too many wins. And you look at this real creep, the guy in Michigan, Abdul El-Sayed last week, Abdul El-Sayed. What a great guy. People like him winning elections across this country have these conversations all the time. People say to me, Sid, there's still a very small number. There are still plenty of... Moderate Democrats, that's a lie this one, John Fetterman, that's it, that's it. And so the party is not really destroyed just yet. I go, no, I am seeing way too much of the DSA candidates, these Jew-hating America-hating lunatics. They're not okay. What does Carol Markowitz think?

Absolutely. And I think they're on a march through the Democratic Party. Where is Chuck Schumer to say these people aren't Democrats? Because they barely are. They refer to themselves as Democratic Socialists. A lot of them talk about destroying the Democratic Party from within. And yet the Democratic Party is letting them do this. By the way, yes, where Chuck Schumer is. That guy actually endorsed Syed last week. Right, right. They are rolling over for them and they're letting them take over the party. And they're only doing that because they agree with them because they ultimately want the same things that these people want. They just were never able to say it. So now they're hoping to harness the energy of these people and to have the party grow. But this is, it's. terrifying. I'm glad Hong lost, but she is just one person in the larger scheme of these DSA races that they've been crushing this summer. And, you know, Democrats are not going to have a party when this is over, and they really should take that seriously. You're on Long Island this morning, and I talked to Bruce Blakeman about two or three times a day. We're very close. My son actually works for Bruce. I'll be with Bruce with President Trump on Friday. Here on Long Island, I'm not sure you're going to be here, I think you'll be home at that point. But regardless, I know you're keeping a very close eye on that Bruce Blakeman-Kathy Hochul race. Any thoughts on that? Also, the thing that the Hong race exposed yesterday is that the polling situation is not good right now. I mean, these polls had her up by double digits. She ends up losing. I mean, I don't know what to believe, but there's a poll out today where Hoka leads Bruce Blakeman by about 10 points. Sienna, right? That's a Sienna poll. Right. And they usually lean left just so you know that Sienna poll, yes. Right, right. It is a lot, but it's. less than you'd imagine for an incumbent who is supposed to be quote unquote a moderate and she's appealing to these upstate voters and all of that. On Long Island, Bruce Blakeman is king. I see his signs all over the place. I mean, if it was just Long Island, I think Bruce Blakeman would be the next governor. I think you're right. He would win easily. I want to play this cut for you, Carol Markowitz, and get your opinion. This, Lewis, is cut number 10. Two upstanding guys. I know you love both of these guys. Hunter Biden? And Tucker Carlson, take a listen. And you know what we're doing is I'm supposed to hate Tucker Carlson because he's an anti-Semite and he's this, I know you're not an anti-Semite. You're not an anti-Semite. No, 100% know you're not interested. No. No, that's what my point being is that. I would just say so. My point being is that, like, if it's anti-Semitic to point out that Benjamin Netanyahu is evil incarnate, then you know what I don't know what to say to I don't know what to say to people anymore I mean all you have to do is just open your eyes really just literally open your eyes open your heart for one minute right put down the crack then realize you know

It's such an obvious lie. It's not a lie. So Hunter Biden is defending Tucker Carlson. If I'm Tucker Carlson, I jump off a bridge today. I know they're friends for a long time. People don't realize that. They're friends for a long time. But can you imagine two less believable people than those two sitting down to talk about Israel and BB? Right. You know, Hunter Biden wrote Tucker Carlson's son a letter recommendation for college. That's how far they go back. So the fact that Tucker Carlson is having Hunter Biden on because they clearly agree on, you know, the Jewish question and Israel, that's what they're, what that's what the thing they have in common is, right? It really sounds like two hobos on a corner having a conversation. Tucker Carlson with his crazy laugh and Hunter with his just rambling. Beebe is evil incarnate. I mean, come on. Look at what his dad did to the country for four years. And Tucker Carlson was completely opposed to his dad and said that his father was one of the worst presidents ever and did all these awful things to the country, opened our border, let all of this happen. And now they're friends because they've agreed that Jews are the problem. I mean, I don't know if you heard, but apparently it's Israel's fault that Hunter's laptop got into the wrong hands. But that's when that was Israel. Tucker Carlson said that. Tucker Carlson actually said he blamed, you can't make this up either. He blamed the laptop situation on Israel. This is what a, but he's not an anti-Semite, right? And then he went on to blame something about minors. Like a Jeffrey Epstein type of thing. Minor is being sexually assaulted. That was also Israel. And he even went as far as say this lying piece of garbage that they contacted him at Fox. Israel came to him at Box with all this number. Hey, Tucker Carlson, let's see it. Let's hear it. So he blamed Israel three times in 46 seconds with Hunter Biden a couple of days ago. How do you take that guy seriously? Seriously. And the thing is, like, whatever else you think, Tucker Carlson pretends to be this family values guy. And Hunter hasn't seen his illegitimate child in years. They don't talk. They don't anything. He doesn't support this kid. He was forced to by a court. I mean, how do you have this guy on your show with a straight face and talk about how you're the guy who cares about family. You're the family values guy. Please. And now, I believe I have to, this is true, I think after Tucker Carlson Hunter Biden did Nick Fuentes. That's all you need to know. These people, they're just, they're really, and they believe, they really do believe. They're delusional that they represent America, that most of America agrees that BBC Eball and every decision Trump makes is because of Miriam Adelson and Israel. They really believe that the majority of Americans believe that when the truth is they are so fringe. I don't care about Twitter or chats. They are so fringe. They're either really stupid or making a lot of money.

Absolutely. So I just came back from Israel. And, you know, when I'm out in the world, even I was in England before and after Israel. And people are like, oh, where are you going? Where are you coming from? And I openly say I was in Israel. And, you know, the regular people don't care at all. That what we see on TV, you know, in Britain, for example, people, oh, you know, how dare you even mention Israel and all of that. The regular people like, oh, I would love to go there. Oh, I have a friend who lives there. You have these conversations with people and you realize that this fringe online is just not reality. It's not. It's not even close. Had to go for Keir Starmer. He hated Israel. Had that go for him. Maybe Nigel Farage will one next. I'm hoping in a couple of years. So you're about to wrap up your stay here in New York City, the great Carol Markowitz, and you started this conversation saying, I love New York. I believe you. I was just kidding with you. And so did Sean. But you guys just had it up, and I don't blame me the one of you. I really don't blame me the one of you. But really, there is no Giuliani walking through the door unless I run, and I've been asked a million times, and I'm considering it. I really am. My wife will divorce me, but I may have to save the city. What can I tell you? And if Donald Trump comes to me, and he might, I'll see him on body and say it's not a bad idea, I will really consider it. But either way, without me in the midst, outside of a Republican-winning mayor and or governor, do you see any hope for any revival in this city or this state? Without a Republican winning, I absolutely don't. I just don't see how because the Democrats now have to cater to this fringe, far left base that they've developed, that they've let fester. And now they have to, you know, come up with these crazy ideas like getting rid of prisons, not having anybody go to jail. I mean, my 10 year old overheard this and was like, wait, they don't want prisons. So what happens if you commit a crime? And I'm like, I don't know, kid. I don't know what the next step is when you commit a crime and you've gotten rid of prisons. These ideas are so stupid that they don't pass the little child test. And so I don't know that the Democrats can do anything in New York, even quote unquote a moderate Democrat because what does that look like? Kathy Hochul had to endorse Zohran Mamdani and then Zohran Mamdani won't endorse Kathy Hochul. I mean, this is where the Democrats have found themselves. So I think a Republican has to win. It has to be, you know, Rudy Giuliani, Sid Rosenberg type of Republican to get this place back in shape. And again, I will be rooting for it. Very hard from Florida. All right. Well, you're here in Long Island today, so make sure you keep listening because you mentioned the period of attacks. And Mandy Mastro, who was Giuliani's deputy mayor, you know that. And Eric Adams' deputy mayor, he's going to join me next. And he's putting up a good fight for all the people that... claim that they should not have been on that list, and they're right, but that didn't stop the mayor from doing it anyway. Carol Markowitz, you're beautiful, you're great, I love you so much, I really do. It's so nice to talk to you. Thanks so much for having me. You're so great. Thank you. You really are great.

So here he is back on Sid and Friends in the morning. It's been a minute, as they say, the young kids. My friend Randy Mastrow. Randy, good morning, buddy. How are you? Great, Sid, and a pleasure to be with you again. Oh, God, I love having you back, too. I saw you on TV on New York One. It's a communist channel, but I know you have to do it. And I saw you talking about Elizabeth Street Garden. I've actually taken a lot of interest in that going back to last year when they tried to, I guess, get rid of it. So was that fight over that Gordon over? Where is that? Well, Sid, the New York Times reported yesterday that the Zohran Mamdani administration has decided to settle the case on terms. where the garden will stay a garden, and there will be affordable housing built on other sites. Exactly the solution that we came up with in the Adams administration. But, you know, the New Yorkers go to court. There were these housing advocates and the developer who was going to turn Elizabeth Street Garden into affordable housing development, even though we ought to offer that developer. A better site nearby where more housing could be done. Apparently, everyone is, you know, getting together to do the right thing. Elizabeth Street Garden will remain dedicated parkland and there'll be affordable housing built elsewhere. More of it elsewhere. So it's a win-win. Garden for the people, affordable housing. What was it that drove this idiot mayor to the conclusion that your plan to keep the garden and get more affordable housing was actually a better plan? He knew that initially. Why did it take them so long to cooperate? Well, look, there were certain people who just had a knee-jerk reaction. Oh, it was going to be affordable housing. It has to be affordable housing. Meanwhile, we have another problem in this city. We need affordable housing, yes. But we also need parks and open green space where people can experience the beauty of being in the outdoors together. Elizabeth Street Garden is a treasure. And in our administration, we managed to save it by dedicating it as parkland. And I'm glad to see. And I applaud that now everyone is coming around and this administration is doing the right thing.

at Elizabeth Street Garden and maintaining it as dedicated parkland. All right, Randy, you're doing yeoman's work here, God's work, in fighting the spirit of tear tax, and standing up a New Yorker, 17,000 on a list. I know 4,300. Everybody filed for exemptions, but this guy, this mayor, he loves to embarrass New Yorkers. I mean, whether it's standing outside of Ken Griffin's house, you remember that, Biasco, which really pissed off Ken and Ken was right. To this list of 17,000, what made me happy, I'm not going to lie, is that some people on this. list like Cynthia Nixon are very, very ardent supporters of this mayor. But where does he get the balls to put this list out there publicly with 17,000 names, many of which don't even own a second home? Sid, most, the vast majority of those 17,000 are never going to owe this surcharge. They are New Yorkers whose primary residence is here. Sid, I got one of those threatening notice letters. I've lived in this city for 40 years. I've paid city income taxes in 40 years. I was first deputy mayor last year. You legally have to live in the city to be first deputy mayor. And he sent me one of those threatening notice letters. It's outrageous what they did. And by the way, you know, you see these online trollers, you know, on X and elsewhere saying, oh, Randy Masher doesn't live in his townhouse. I live in my townhouse. I love that townhouse. So get straight, Xers. I live in that townhouse. Really is pathetic. Don't worry about those Cholos on X. I know exactly who you're talking about. But Vicki Palladino asked me this this morning. She loves you there in Queens. She said she's wondering if this is a class action suit and is it too late for people to join this lawsuit? What are the answers to those two questions? Okay. Well, I appreciate Vicki's questions. It's not a class action, but the ruling will apply. dissimely situated people because the city will have a ruling that the way it rolled out this pieter tax was not only a fiasco, a debacle, it's illegal. And you know why it's illegal? Sid, because the state legislation required the city administration in implementing this surcharge to make a determination, an initial determination in the first instance, who's covered by the tax, okay? And that's who they were supposed to reach out to. Instead, this administration sent out... 17,000 threatening letters that said, you may be subject to the tax unless you apply for an exemption. And if you don't apply for an exemption or you don't get an exemption, you know, you're going to be deemed to owe the tax.

That is not the way surcharges and taxes work. The government can't say, I'd like to tax you, so you tell me why you shouldn't be taxed. The government has to have a basis for taxing you. It has to have made that determination in the first instance. It can't shift a burden to you to prove you live in your own home. It has to determine that you don't. So that's why this case is getting traction and striking such a nerve. And the judges already ruled we're likely to succeed on the merits that this is illegal what the city has done under that state authorizing statute and under the city's own rules for implementing it. And when a final decision is had, and that will happen as early as August 31 when we're back in court, the city will know that it has to do a do-over, that it cannot blunderbuss. tell thousands and thousands of New Yorkers who live here always have primary residents. You explain why you live in your own home. It's just wrong. Oh, it's silly. It's illegal. It's illegal. It's silly. It's silly. It's all those things. But. Just for people that are under the impression, because not everybody is so learned in this, I can promise you that okay, that if you have success, this thing is going to go away. That's not the case. What you really want here is a do-over, which will be professionally done and not call out every single New Yorker. But the truth is, this tax is not going away, right? The tax will, the surcharge will not go away because of this lawsuit. aims to achieve and is achieving is that the way the Zohran Mamdani administration rolled out the tax. was not only unfair and unconscionable, listing every New York home on a role they published names, addresses, property values. So every New Yorker felt in jeopardy, but then sending out 17,000 threatening notice letters, they got to start over. They've got to figure out who actually owes the tax. And by the way, it's easy to do. You know, if you're paying New York City income taxes. You live here as a primary residence. Now, nobody has a second home here who's paying New York City income taxes. You pay New York City income taxes because you live here. The state, even in the legislation, said to New York City, we will, on request, tell you who's paying city income taxes. But did the city do that? That simple step that would have confirmed? They didn't. I don't know whether it was at a negligence. out of laziness, or intentionality, because they want to ensnare people into paying a surcharge that they shouldn't have anything to do with because they live here. I don't know what their reason was. I just know the way they did this was wrong, and this lawsuit will tell them, you've got to do it over, you've got to do it right, and you only send notices to people you've determined owe the tax.

The answer is C, just so you know, Randy, I'll answer it for you. The answer is C. They're trying to ensnare people and school people. And you know the situation on this tax. Just look at two politicians yesterday, Randy Mastrow, to make it political for a second. One said, hey, if you could afford a house over $5 million, then we're basically going to penalize you. You know, you've enjoyed success. You've worked hard. So, F you, that's the governor, Kathy Hochul. The other, President Trump in D.C. said, this is going to destroy New York. What's the matter with these people? 140,000 people already left. What makes them think more won't leave when this thing in fact? goes into effect. So you listen to Kathy Hochul yesterday. You listen to Trump yesterday. And only one of those people, Randy Mastrow, sounds sensitive to New Yorkers' needs and sounds sane. Well, I'm not in politics anymore. I'm just a humble lawyer trying to do the right thing. But the rule of law matters. And unfortunately, the Zohran Mamdani administration too often isn't following the rule of law. That's why we've had to bring a lawsuit like this one. And I've had to bring other lawsuits. They're not following the law. Bottom line. One more for you. And it's just an opinion piece here, okay, as a lawyer, not as a former deputy mayor, political, all that. You know, you served alongside Woody Giuliani, who will forever be etched as not just the greatest mayor in New York history. I think he's the greatest mayor in the history of any city in this country. What he did 25 years ago was unparalleled, and not because... Anybody would have done it. He was special. Bottom line still is. Rudy Giuliani is a very special guy. And you know that there's a big petition out there, and I'm kind of the face of this now, Randy. I've had Giovanni Galante on this show twice, including just two days ago, to try to keep the mayor away from that sacred site when we commemorate 25 years exactly 30 days from today. He should not be there. Anybody who's friends, forget about associate with, anybody who's friends with people like Hasan Piker and endorses people like Chevalier, people who say America deserve 9-11, he should not be there on that day. Now, I know he's going to be there, but that's my opinion. Most people share that opinion with me. How does Randy Mastro feel? You know, you know how much I respect you, Sid. You know, I come out at it a little differently. Okay. Yes, yes, it is the case that so many of the positions that our current mayor has taken are antithetical to the emotions we feel about, you know, that day.

And we all lost so many dear friends because of that horrible, horrible day. But I think when one is mayor of New York City, one has an obligation to show. support for every community and every important event in our city. But what if that community doesn't, what if they don't want him there, though, Randy? His obligation is one thing. How about a heart? He should have shown up at the Israel Day parade. He didn't. He should show up at the Columbus Day parade. He won't. Yet he's going to show up. On 9-11, there's something wrong with the way this guy thinks. and the way he governs the city. He's not a mayor who's uniting our city. He's governing by division. So I look at it a little differently than you do, that what offends me most about what's going on in our city right now is we have a mayor who's picking and choosing and leaving certain communities out like our Jewish community and our Italian-American community. So what do we do moving forward, Randy? Well, you know, I was asked this the other day, and again, I'm not in politics anymore. I just love this city, and I care about this city being united, right? So, and if the mayor does something right, I say he did something right, like I'm Elizabeth Street Garden. He's doing something right now. But, you know, what do we do? Okay, when somebody tells you who they are, when they're running for public office, believe them. He's doing exactly what he said he would do, and not enough New Yorkers showed up. It was a small percentage. of the eligible voters who actually showed up in our last mayor election to elect this guy. And now he's doing exactly what he said he would do. And so many of us, including yourself, said, oh, my God, he's going to do these terrible things. He can't be elected, right? Well, he's doing them. So next time you go to the polls, New Yorkers, think about what you're doing and show up. Because I still believe that most New Yorkers do not want to be governed by socialists. And they are not socialists. So get out and vote. You know, last night in Wisconsin, the moderates got out. Okay. You've got to have common sense and get out and vote.

so that these people don't get elected. It's as simple as that. You get what you elect. Or if you don't show up, you know, you get this. It's so true, and then you bitch and complain, and it's way too late. Randy Mastrow, you're a special guy. I love you, I do. I wish you wrote back into politics. He kept you, told me three times about in politics. Well, get that back in. We need people like you doing big things in the city. Even though you already are, these lawsuits are very, very important, representing New Yorkers. You're doing a really fantastic job, Randy Mastro. Thank you so much. Thank you, Sid. Great to be with you. You too. Randy Mastrow right there formerly worked alongside Woody Giuliani and Eric Adams and is now defending New Yorkers in this ridiculous second home. I guess attacks brought upon by mayor terrorist. Sid and Friends in the morning on the Red Apple Podcast Network. So I don't read Twitter. I don't go to other people's sites. I just post my own stuff and very rarely even read those comments. I don't read Twitter. I'm never on TikTok ever. So if I do it, it's got to be somebody that really interests me. You know that's true, Justin. You know that. I'm a hit and run guy. I post my stuff and then I'm gone. But I do read Laura Lumer. She is, she fascinates me. I don't know. She's very smart. Very smart. Smarter than most of you, not all of you. And she's got, I don't know, intel or something. She's got information people don't have. And for the most part, we share the same ideologies and philosophies. So I love bringing her on. Tyler Redick here from 2311 racing. Another checkered flag for the books.

I got 10 minutes here. I said, let's get Lumer. And here she is from somewhere in the great state of Florida. My dear friend, Laura Lumer. Laura, good morning, sweetheart. How are you? Good morning. Doing well. How are you? Thanks for having me on. I always love having you on. I was reading your tweets, I guess, yesterday about this Mensa meeting. This is really special. You talk about two guys you can really trust. Two guys are not going to lie to you. This was great. Tucker Carlson and Hunter Biden. I mean, we talk about the laptop. How, in 46 seconds, Tucker Carlson managed to blame Israel for three different things, three different times. You tell me, Laurel Lumer, what the hell was I watching?

Well, I told everybody that was going to happen before the interview even aired. If you follow me on X, which you said you do and you saw. Yes, I do. I saw it. I said, look, this is what's going to happen. He's expected to blame Israel. And look, I've been following this for several years. And I've been on to Tucker Carlson for a long time. And I remember when I ran for Congress, I remember back in the day, you know, even during Trump's first term. I would make comments about Tucker Carlson to people. And it was very taboo to do in conservative circles. Like people would say, oh, you know, you can't criticize Tucker Carlson. What are you doing? Like, how dare you criticize Tucker Carlson? He was kind of untouchable in a sense. But I always knew that there was something wrong with Tucker Carlson, as I'd call him. And one of the things that I had published is the fact that he deliberately covered up the Hunter Biden laptop story. And I did this over a year ago, right? I did this two years ago. I did this long before last year. But the thread that I actually formalized was on my ex account last year, about a year or so ago. And people can see it for themselves, but it has all the receipts, all the documentation. And you said, oh, well, she has intel. How does she get information? Well, look, I have a lot of different sources. But in this case, I know the man who gave Hunter Biden the drive, excuse me, who gave Tucker Carlson the drive that had a detailed analysis of Hunter Biden's laptop crimes. And, you know, I had all the receipts, right? I don't just publish things. I'm not going to just release information based off hearsay. But he had all of the receipts that showed when he met, the text messages and the producer's phone and the number and the photo of the drive that he gave him. And for those who recall, before Tucker Carlson got kicked off Fox News, he came up with this very wild story about how, well, we can't exactly continue talking about the contents of. the laptop and we can't really talk about what's on it and, you know, any kind of crimes that he may have committed because, well, when a source gave us the copy of the drive, we had it shipped by UPS to Fox News Studios. And he said that they lost the drive. Well, what a lot of people didn't know that I knew because Tucker Carlson didn't disclose this to his viewers is that... The individual, a man who gave him the drive, happens to be Jewish. So, of course, everybody who's Jewish in the eyes of Tucker Carlson is like some kind of employee of Benjamin Netanyahu or some kind of non-operative. They're like Mossad, right? That's what he always implies about me. He implies I'm kind of like a Mossad agent. Right, right. And so this guy, his name is Yaakov, he gave. he gave Tucker Carlson and his producers a digital copy as well. It was encrypted. And so they completely lied to the American people. They said that they couldn't access the information because it was lost and it was on a drive when in reality he had multiple copies. There was the drive and then there was a digital copy of the drive encrypted that only Tucker Carlson and his producer and Yaakov could get into. So you have to ask yourself, why did...

Tucker Carlson, or Catarsen, as I like to call him. Why would he cover up for Hunter? Well, one thing what we've learned over the last couple of days, though, is that his friendship with Hunter dates back for years, that he actually wrote a letter of recommendation. This isn't new, though, said this is all stuff I reported years ago. And so people didn't believe it. A lot of times... Look, and we can make fun of the left for this, too, but we also need to make fun of the cult mentality on the right as well. There's a lot of people in the right wing movement, and there's people on the left who they refuse to say anything bad about anybody that they know or anybody who's popular because they think, oh, well, there's no way that this could be real. And so their main excuse is, well, it's Photoshop or, oh, it must be AI. Years ago, right? And I'm not the only person who released this. I'm not even claiming that I broke this, but it's something that I reported on. I reported on the contents of the laptop and the fact that Tucker Carlson is in the laptop. He and his wife are very good friends with Hunter Biden because they used to be friends with Hunter Biden. When the Ashley Madison story broke and Tucker Carlson have founded the Daily Caller, he wouldn't allow his staff to report on Hunter Biden at the time the vice president, Vice President Joe Biden, before he came, you know, air quote president through a stolen election to. um to report on the fact that he was involved in the ashley madison scandal and and now some of his his former staff are going on the record and talking about this because he was friends and neighbors with hunter at the time and he took it as a personal insult why because he as you can see from some of these correspondences inside the laptops did Looking for a little Hollywood-style fun?

And not only that, but it appears that Tucker Carlson had some form of, you know, some kind of like real estate investment that was tied to Rosemont Seneca. If you recall, you know, that was, you know, one of the groups that Hunter Biden was, you know, very intertwined with. I mean, Miranda Devine explains this in great depth in all of her explosive reporting, right? We don't need to rehash all of it. All I'm saying is you can go and look for yourself. If you get a copy of the laptop, they sell them. You can buy digital copies online from some of the people who have actually, you know, produced the full laptop. You will see that Tucker Carlson is in the laptop. He never disclosed this information. And why did he not? Because, well, as we found out after the stolen elections, Tucker Carlson hates Donald Trump. We saw the Dominion lawsuit when they have the discovery, you know, and Fox News got in trouble because. You know, they, some of their, some of their, uh, some of their, uh, some of their, uh, some of their election was stolen, which it was. You know, I'm not saying it wasn't, but Tucker Carlson had to turn over his text messages. And through the discovery process, we saw that he was texting with his producer, a guy, one of the guys by the name of Alex Pfeiffer, who ironically went on to go work for Donald Trump. Uh, they were, they were calling, um, President Trump supporters cousin efforts. Uh, you know, it's radio. So you got to keep it PG here, I suppose.

He was saying things like, oh, I hate Donald Trump with a passion. I can't wait for us to be done with him forever. They, you know, something along the lines of him being like an absolute plague on our country. You can go look at this. This is all public information. This is not anything that you have to have, you know, super top secret sources to review. But nobody wants to talk about it because, oh, well, God forbid, we say something bad about Tucker Carlson, who wanted to pretend like he was a victim and fired from Fox News. Well, look, I'm starting to understand maybe why Fox News got rid of him. The guy's an absolute lunatic. He's crazy. Yeah. Well, how was he acting in the workplace behind the scenes? We only got to see Tucker Carlson on TV. You know, maybe he was this insane when dealing with his own colleagues at Fox News. So. Well, there's a bunch of rumors as to how he was there, and I don't play in rumors, so I'm not going to bother going there. But the truth is, I said this earlier. You know, you meet people who like Tucker Carlson and Candice and they listen to their garbage, and they really believe, they really do believe that most of America is with them. The truth is they are the cult. They are the fringe. They're psychotic. You know, President Trump. Well, and then also, also, too, you know, Hunter Biden had to go to court. We all know this, right? Joe Biden pardoned his son. And if he didn't commit crimes and the crimes were inside the laptop, people are forgetting the reason why he got in trouble because of these gun charges, right? And he had to face, he had to face his trial, he had to face these charges on trial was because of all the contents that came out in the laptop. So now we're being told that we, it's just a figment of our imagination. that Hunter Biden didn't actually go and stand trial, and he was asked to sign a sworn affidavit, which he admitted in court under oath that the laptop belonged to him, that the contents of the laptop belonged to him. Are we all just going to pretend like we had some kind of like MK Ultra experiment performed on our minds by Benjamin Netanyahu? I mean, really, honestly, like, this is just so, so crazy. I know, everything. It's like, you know, if my alarm, if my alarm. If I sleep over my alarm or my dog has diarrhea in the morning, I guess the Jews. Like how far is this going to go? Right? No, no. It's crazy. It's absolutely insane that people can't use critical thinking and say, no, what do you mean is Israel? Like, this is a real laugh. But I don't believe the majority of people. Maybe I'm just, you know, too positive and optimist. I don't believe the majority of people believe every issue in the world today is because of Israel. I do think that is the minority, a bunch of fringe, anti-Semitic lunatics. It does beg this question, though, who's more dangerous the future? Tucker Carlson and his ridiculous lying Jew-hating crew on the right or Hasan Piker and his crew on the left.

But they're one and the same. It's called Horseshoe Theory. Okay. They're all the same. And they're amplifying the same people, too. I mean, look, Tucker Carlson is friends with Shank, Chank, Chank Winger. How do you say his name? The guy from the Young Turk. Muslim communist. And you know who his nephew is? I'm going to take a guess. That's his nephew. Right. I'm going to take it's Hasan Piker. Right. That's right. Yes. And so they're all the same. All these people have the same guess. They are all advocating for the same causes, right? They want to ruin the United States relationship with Israel. They want to revitalize the modern day Hitler youth. They want to spread Islam in America. And they want to see Republicans lose. I mean, come on. Nobody is going to vote for a third party. It's going to be like a Ross Perrault 2.0. This is what I said. I said Tucker Carlson, the other day I tweeted, I said, Tucker Carlson is the Islamic communist Ross Perot. That's what he is. He just wants to be a spoiler. He wants to, he wants to cause Republicans to have so much distrust and angst about the leadership of Donald Trump. And they want everything to think that we're, everybody to think that we're not a sovereign country, that we're actually secretly controlled by Benjamin Netanyahu and Israel so that Republicans don't show up to vote. And then the Democrats take over. And what are they going to do? They're going to impeach Donald Trump. Do you really honestly think we're going to even be able to elect a third party or elect another Republican if the Democrats take over in November? No, we're going to get a super majority. They're going to pack the Supreme Court. They're going to excuse political violence. I mean, just. You could just look at the agenda of some of these Muslim communists that want to get elected. Abdul El-Sayed says he wants to replace the Second Amendment with health care for all. Yeah, you want to know why the Muslim wants to take away your guns? Because we're going to have a thousand little mini October 7th all across our own country in predominantly Jewish neighborhoods when the Muslims gain power and they're able to successfully abolish ICE and abolish the police. Who's going to be there when Muhammad? And, you know, his neighbors and their brothers and their sons all gather together and decide they want to actually carry out their intifada on U.S. soil. People look at me like I'm crazy when I say these things. But it's going to happen. You're not crazy. You're not crazy. What do you think they want to do? Of course. Who are you going to call if you have a medical emergency? And then people. And then people like Tucker Carlson, instead of addressing the real danger, which you just did. because he's getting a whole bunch of money from Carter and other Arab countries. He's trying to make it seem like the bad guys that you just talked about are the Jews and the Israelis, and nothing could be further from the truth.

Well, that's the theory, right? A lot of people believe he's getting a lot of money from the Qataris and maybe the Saudis, right? I mean, look, he has all these very strange relationships with these countries and every, you know, it's all of it. You can go back and you can watch these videos. There's, there's a lot of people out there, myself included, who have made these video compilations. And it's like, you know, you have Tucker Carlson talking about how backwards Islam is and how he doesn't want Muslims in America. And then years later now, you know, pretending like. Oh, my God, you know, Laura Lumer says some of vile things about Muslims, but just cannot believe the president talks to her. Right? That's what he said on the show the other day. I saw that. I saw that. An actual, like an actual Holocaust denier, Daryl Cooper, and they were celebrating Holocaust deniers on the Tucker Carlson podcast. Wow. And they were celebrating and promoting a guy that actually celebrates Hitler's birthday like it's a national holiday. Okay. So. So who's the crazy one? Who's the crazy one? Not me. Oh, it's not you. In fact, you are, I say this all the time. I mean, there's one of the most important voices in our country. You know, I love you. I have a tremendous amount of respect for you. I really do, Laura, and I read you every day, and I will continue to read you every day because as far as I'm concerned, you're my fighter. Laura Luma, as always, amazing job. Thank you so much. Thank you. Take care. Laura Luma right there on Sid and Friends in the morning. She's not afraid. Sid and Friends in the morning on the Red Apple Podcast Network.

Calm down. You said crying. They cry. Okay. You know what crying. It doesn't mean they're hysterical. No, there's different types of crying. Okay. You could have a tear roll down your face. Okay. Well, you could be Ben Stiller and something about Mary and be like, ah! If there's one tear, somewhere in the middle. I will. Capitulate. Okay. How about that? I don't know what that means. I don't know. It's, I don't know what that means. I'll admit that you're right. Okay. Hyperventilating. Yes. You're going to see it, bro. You're going to be like, oh my God.

Unless he's going to be crying too much to be. They're an idiot. I'm sweaty God. Sid and Friends in the morning on the Red Apple Podcast Network.

Elsa, it's Lynn. I only have a minute. I'm on United 93, and it's been hijacked by terrorists. They have a bomb. Apparently, they have flown a couple of planes into the World Trade Center already. It looks like they're going to take this one down as well. Mostly, I just wanted to say, I love you. And I'm going to get my love to watch. I just love you and I just wanted to tell you that. I don't know if I'm going to be interested to tell you that again or not. All my stuff is in the safe. The safe is in my closet, my bedroom. A combination that you push knees are clear and then 09-13 and then it should and maybe pound and then it should unlock. I love you and I hope I can talk to you soon. Bye. Linda Gronlin was on United Flight 93, which was hijacked by terrorists and eventually, thankfully to the very brave crew, excuse me, the passengers on that flight, they stormed the cockpit and I think that flight was supposed to hit the White House. They had already hit the Pentagon and two World Trade Center buildings before that flight crashed in Shanksville, Pennsylvania. So Linda Gronland, we said, I hope I get to tell you, I love you again. Never did get that opportunity. to tell her husband that she loved him again. She died that day. And, you know, Peter, I've been doing this, as you know, for weeks and weeks, and I will do it every day, right up until 9-11, which is exactly 30 days from today. And I give you credit for years, Peter. And you know, I'm being... sincere, the work you've done with the families, with making sure that you're compensated for 100 years. People that are still getting sick and dying today, I can never thank you enough for the work you've done post 9-11. But my hope is that it gets back to the mayor and maybe this guy shows a scintill of heart and doesn't show up that day. I know it's not going to happen. I know that. But that is part of the reason why I play these horribly tragic pieces of audio every day. in an effort to get to him. It's sad to listen to, isn't it? It really is. I think you're doing a service by playing that, reminding people, because even, apart from the mayor, he's bad enough. But unfortunately, too many New Yorkers have forgotten how terrible that day was, or it hasn't been passed on to the next generation. But anyone who lived through it and thought about it, knew people involved, knew that was different from any other tragedy, any other horrible event that ever hit the United States of America. That was it. That day, it was right here in New York City, and so many people, not just in the city, but New Jersey, Long Island, Connecticut. were killed and murdered that day, good people. And the fact that you have a mayor who actually was willing to shake hands with and do pictures with one of the guys who was accused of plotting the first World Trade Center attack being supported by people who say that 9-11 was due to the United States. The United States deserved 9-11. He is so not just out of touch, so hostile, so anti-American. You know, we can all have different views on different policies and everything else.

But there's no, to me, there's only one side of that issue. Anyone who does not think that was a horrific attack, and the United States is justified to do whatever it could to track down and kill everyone involved and to do all we can to make sure it never happens again and to do all we can to preserve the memories of those who died that day. And especially, you know, when you think of the first responders, just think if they had not run into the bill. I suppose they had run away, which has happened in many other places. Most of the talk for cover. The fact that they went in, that set the tone and the mood and the whole American spirit to fight back. Because we could have lost more than the 3,000 people out day. We could have lost our will to live as a country. But because of those who stood tall, did what they had to do and gave up their lives, that's why we are still around today. But unfortunately, we have a mayor who doesn't understand or appreciate or care about that. In fact, To me, it's hard to believe that he was that offended by it at all, I'd say. I mean, to him, that's just like another strike against the United States, and we deserve it. Now, I'm not saying he said that, the people who support him say that, and to me, he's enabling them. He did. He didn't push back. Hassan Parker said it right in front of him on a podcast. He didn't push back. And, you know, throughout this morning, I know you listen every day. I've been all over Tucker Carlson because he's garbage. He's garbage. I don't know who's paying him or what happened to him, but he has done a complete 180. He's, although Laura Luma said he's always been like this. And I played a clip, a 46-second clip of him and Hunter Biden, another low-life. And not because he's a junkie, because I am too, okay? And in 46 seconds, Tucker Carlson managed to blame Israel for three different things. Do you know that when I post pictures of the towers on my social media? And I talk about the mayor and I honor the great Americans that died that day. Do you know that the majority, the messages I get, you buddy for this? Your people did it. Ryan Crest here.

No purchase necessary. VGW Group. Voidware prohibited by law. CTs and Cs 21 Plus. Sponsored by Chumba Casino. Your people did it. Tons of people out there that blame Israel on top of everything else for 9-11. This is why I've lost my patience with these people. It is so grotesque, disgusting, lies, all lies from the genocide in Gaza to 9-11 to pedophilia to Epstein. All day long, all they do is blame Israel for everything, including 9-11, Pete. Yeah, first of all, it's horrible. It's horrible to be blaming Israel. First of all, they even think of blame him. Yeah, it's terrible. You and I even have to talk about this. I mean, it's so ridiculous, so absurd, so evil. The fact is that Israel is one of our closest, if not our closest ally in the world. I can tell you, having been on the Intelligence Committee, the Homeland Security Committee, there's so much intelligence they share with us.

It's hand in glove. I mean, Pete, Pete, Pete, just a couple of weeks ago, we're talking all morning long about the latest assassination attempt where President Trump literally had to change planes because they got information that Iran was going to kill him. Where'd that come from? The Israelis! Absolutely, absolutely. But don't expect to see that on your social media. They'll say that the Israelis are doing it. They were trying to blame the Iranians or it's all fake. I mean, Israel cannot get credit for anything, and they get blamed for everything. Again, with that whole cult out there, and whether it's Megyn Kelly, whether it's Candace Owens, whether it's Tucker Carlson's gone totally off the deep end. And, I mean, I can never quite figure him out anyway. I sort of know him, but not that well. But even, listen, I've had some differences in President Trump. Even you have for that matter. The fact is, it's tough to Tucker Carlson said about Trump back in 2020. About how he can't stand him. He's horrible human being. And yet then he's kissing up to Trump after that. That to me is, makes it total hypocrite. He's... Demented somewhere along the line. And I remember when he was wearing his bowtie on him. Me too. Oh, I miss used to make fun of him every day. I miss used to make fun of Tucker Carlson every day. Then I liked him. I did. I loved him on Fox. And turns out that, yes, he's been saying bad things about Trump forever. It didn't just stop with Marjorie Taylor Greene last year. He's a liar. He's a liar. And Trump is going to be in town on Friday. I can't wait. And Bruce Blakeman, of course, is the reason why he's coming. But. You know, a whole shout out, Michael Petrie and Janine Driscoll, I'm sure, Lauder, Garberino, all of them. Joe Cairo, the great Joe Cairo will be there. My question is, am I going to be sitting next to Peter King? I'll be there. I don't know if I'm important enough to be sitting next to you. Yeah. You know, what I'm afraid of is, when all those thousands of people see you, I hope they don't, you know, don't start crying. I mean, that would be just terrible thing to happen, you know. Peter, come on now. Don't play into that nonsense like Lou and Gnome. They get so jealous. I know you are going to be there on Friday, though, yes? Oh, yeah, I'll be there. Definitely, yeah. I mean, I'm going to be there. And I'll tell you, it's really a tribute to Bruce. I mean, he has become what we've known all along, those of us who know him, he's a national figure right now. And the latest poll would come in, I guess it was the Sienna poll, says he's down by 10. And now that's a Democrat-leaning poll. So, and I think at this stage in their poll, Lee Zelle was down by 14. They also have Bruce only at 19% in New York City. So if he's closing the gap and he's early at night, you know at the very least he's going to get into the 30s in New York City. So this is a competitive head-to-head race. And you've got to get Bruce credit because very few people outside those of us who know him thought he had really a chance. And he was just out there doing what he had to do. No, he is there every day working hard. And he's really hitting on issues that the average person in politics doesn't want to touch.

Even Republicans who are critical of men's army and they're critical of local. They don't really go for the gut issues the way Bruce has done it. He's willing to do it. He signed the agreement with ICE. He's out there with men playing men and women playing women in sports. I mean, all of that. He's right on target. And he's willing to do. He's willing to take the tough stands. And he's a great job as a county executive. And he has a proven record as a vote getter. So I just say for those Republicans and conservatives, independent Democrats, Whoever you are out there who don't like Hokel, don't like Zohran Mamdani, Bruce is your man. And on a positive note, not only is he anti them, but his record is absolutely outstanding. I mean, no tax increase in National County for the four years that he's been there. Crime is down. We're hiring cops while others are laying them off. He's just doing a great job. And we also throw it without going off target to watch. Let's give Jessica Tisch credit to deny Zohran Mamdani that outrageous request. that the NYPD put their lives on the line to protect her in terrorist countries when she has no business being there anyway. Certainly, it was totally personal. It was the height of arrogance and hypocrisy. So thank by Zohran Mamdani. Thank God the NYPD's strong against him. Yeah, I wish you would come out and take the credit. I actually texted Jessica Tisch, Peter, between you and I yesterday. Great job. I love you. And she always gets back to me in like five minutes. She did not get back to me because I don't think she wants to be viewed as taking any credit because Zohran Mamdani, of course, threw his people under the bus. Oh, that was never going to happen. Oh, it happened. And Jessica Tisch said, no way. Not under my watch. My guys aren't going out to Lebanon and to Syria to protect their evil, wretched, anti-Semitic wife. Ain't going to happen. So I do wish she would take the credit, but I agree with you. There's no doubt she did it, right? Oh, yeah, that had to come right from the top of the police department. And she's not a headline hunter. I mean, she really is, unlike maybe you or me or some others. I mean, everything she does, is not only right, but she wants to just do it in a totally business-like way. I've known her somewhat for the last 20 years. And when Ray Kelly first brought her in, I guess, back in 2005, 2006, and then she was, you know, obviously very young. She's still young today. She was just out of Harvard Law School. She was outstanding, and she fitted right in the whole Lower Manhattan Security Initiative. She was choreographing that. And Ray Kelly could be a tough guy to work with him. There's no nonsense to Ray Kelly. And she was right in there sitting up next to him and getting it done. So we have the right person in there. I thought Queshaun Soule was a great commissioner. I think Jessica is and will continue to be a great police commissioner. So it's important that we support those who do the job. And there's a lot of people out there that don't do their jobs. Just get interested in one that does. Money. That's a perfect way to end this. I can't wait to see you on Friday. I love that Nassau County Group. You know that, Peter. That's my favorite group of any city, anywhere in the country. I may want to be standing away from me. I'm trying to rebuild my reputation. So I don't know. I may be over the side of the stage. Well, okay, you can go to the side, but if you do want President Trump, who knows you for a long time, I've seen the pictures all over your house and a beautiful home with Rome. He knows you a long time. But if you really want to...

up your chances of being noticed by the president, you should sit as close to me as possible. Unfortunately, you're probably right. I hate to admit it, you're probably right. No, I'm not. No, no, he loves you. He's loved you for many, many, many, many years, and he's aware of all the great things you've done for New York and continue to do for New York. You're a true hero. I love you, Cairo, all the guys. Can't wait to see your party. As always, Peter King, excellent job. Okay, Sid, you got it. God bless you. See you Friday. I can't wait. Thank you. Peter King right there, the amazing congressman. Homeland Security, he did it all. 9-11 families. They get paid for about 100 years because of his work and even that idiot comic John Stewart. We'll take a break. We'll come back. I think I'll have 30 seconds to wrap things up. It's the Wednesday edition. Thanks for listening to Sit and Friends in the Morning.
