Suzanne Miller warns that restrictive legislative proposals and new taxes are creating a hostile environment for international investors in New York City’s residential market. She argues that targeting cash buyers and foreign capital through measures like the pied-à-terre tax will discourage the very people who sustain the local economy, potentially leading to a loss of secondary jobs in sectors like hospitality and retail. The conversation shifts from these economic anxieties to a more casual observance of Memorial Day, touching on local weather, beach closures, and the importance of honoring fallen soldiers.
Roger Stone comes on to discuss the economic and political landscape under a hypothetical continued Trump presidency, emphasizing a shift toward energy independence and lower interest rates. The hosts say it's because of the current financial optimism to falling oil prices and the leadership of a new Federal Reserve chairman, suggesting these factors could trigger a massive economic boom by the fall. He then goes on to praise Donald Trump as a strong, independent leader who prioritizes "America First" policies and acts as a steadfast law and order president in urban centers. The dialogue also touches on the solemnity of Memorial Day, contrasting a message of national gratitude with a sharp critique of the Democratic Party’s perceived radicalization and lack of a substantive platform.
Former Congressman Peter King joins hosts on WABC to discuss the political landscape of New York during a Memorial Day broadcast. The conversation centers on a perceived shift toward radicalism within the Democratic Party, with King and the hosts praising "common sense" figures like David Paterson while criticizing the current socialist leadership in New York City. A significant portion of the dialogue serves to bolster the gubernatorial candidacy of Bruce Blakeman, highlighting his strict law enforcement policies and his efforts to coordinate with ICE to remove criminal immigrants.
Dr. Marc Siegel comes on to talk about current global health threats, primarily focusing on a modern Ebola outbreak in the Congo. The conversation highlights how war-torn regions and a lack of healthcare infrastructure accelerate the spread of disease, especially when local distrust leads to the abandonment of medical facilities. Dr. Siegel addresses the erosion of public trust in health institutions following the COVID-19 pandemic, criticizing past authoritarian messaging and outdated containment strategies while expressing hope for new mRNA vaccine technology to combat different Ebola strains.
Fernando Mateo argues that the Hispanic community is driven by a deep desire for capitalism and self-sufficiency rather than government-funded handouts. He criticizes New York City’s plan to open a subsidized supermarket as a patronizing socialist program that insults local entrepreneurs and fails to address the needs of millions. Contrasting the current state of New York with the economic freedom of Florida, Mateo highlights how high taxes and radical policies are driving away business-minded immigrants.
John Catsimatidis and Dominic Carter and former New York Governor David Paterson, discuss the growing politicization of American life. The segment begins by criticizing the backlash against an New York Giants quarterback, Jaxson Dart for simply introducing a president, which Paterson uses as a springboard to lament the loss of bipartisanship and the rise of "Trump derangement syndrome." The conversation shifts to a critique of the Democratic Party’s apparent shift toward socialism, with Paterson and the hosts warning that a lack of moral leadership and historical perspective is leading the nation toward political tyranny and social division.
Bruce Mosler discusses the resilience and competitive edge of the New York City commercial real estate market despite the growing financial pressures on corporations. While acknowledging that Manhattan remains a premier global hub for talent and intellectual capital, Mosler warns that excessive taxation and a lack of public-private cooperation could reach a dangerous breaking point for major businesses. He stresses that city leaders must treat the private sector as an essential partner to solve urban challenges, particularly as firms increasingly weigh the costs of staying against expanding in more affordable regions. The conversation concludes by shifting from economic concerns to a patriotic tribute to military service, emphasizing the shared civic values and sacrifices that underpin American freedom.
Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman outlines his gubernatorial platform, focusing heavily on public safety, law enforcement investment, and a hardline stance against criminality within migrant populations. Blakeman distinguishes himself from current leadership by proposing a compassionate yet merit-based immigration approach that includes a guest worker program while strictly opposing the use of taxpayer funds for illegal migrants. He aims to unseat Governor Kathy Hochul by building a diverse coalition of voters across New York, specifically targeting minority communities and entrepreneurs who prioritize lower taxes, parental rights in education, and reduced utility costs. Throughout the discussion, Blakeman emphasizes a return to strict law and order to combat rising anti-Semitism and retail theft, positioning himself as a candidate who will prioritize fiscal responsibility over current state spending habits.

Former Deputy National Security Advisor K.T. McFarland joins Sid for her weekly appearance on the morning show to touch upon New York City “falling apart” due to poor state and city leadership, before she praises President Donald Trump for preempting Iran’s nuclear program despite advisers like Tulsi Gabbard, JD Vance, and Tucker Carlson opposing action. She argues Iran has long blackmailed the U.S. and Israel, cites Trump’s earlier killing of Soleimani, and says he spent years positioning “chess pieces” by weakening Iran economically, strengthening U.S. military posture, and increasing U.S. energy dominance through drilling, Venezuela, and Gulf Arab ties. The discussion covers Strait of Hormuz disruptions, Russia’s limited gains from higher oil prices, European worries about Ukraine, and claims China is a major loser. McFarland predicts a near-term military and political resolution leading to falling energy prices and improved U.S. growth, and says the U.S. may act soon on Cuba, with Marco Rubio reportedly talking to Raul Castro’s grandson about moving beyond communism.

Lawyer & Former Law Professor Alan Dershowitz joins the program to denounce former Trump administration figure Joe Kent as a neo-Nazi bigot and liar, rejecting Kent’s claim that Israel pushed the U.S. into the Iran war.

He says polls show most Americans support Trump, the war, and opposing Iran, and criticizes extremists he links to Tucker Carlson. Asked about Trump’s support for Qatar, Dershowitz attributes it to personal rapport while acknowledging Qatar’s negative role and urging U.S. interests first. Learn more about your ad choices.

WABC Radio Host Brian Kilmeade joins the program to discuss the partial DHS shutdown affecting TSA, citing hundreds of TSA agents walking off the job and long wait times at airports like Atlanta, Washington, and Philadelphia; Kilmeade blames Democrats and criticizes their stance on voter ID while discussing the Save America Act, arguing Republicans should keep legislation focused on clean voter-ID provisions and noting possible compromise efforts to fund DHS. The conversation then shifts to questions about Trump’s relationship with Qatar amid Middle East tensions, with Kilmeade saying Qatar has served as a broker and investment partner, while Iran’s actions are clarifying regional alignments; he notes Gulf states have not condemned U.S. actions and suggests Qatar may be pushed to stop “playing both ends.” Learn more about your ad choices.

On this Wednesday edition of Sid & Friends in the Morning, Sid details Mayor Mamdani drawing criticism for remarks about genocide in Palestine during New York City’s St. Patrick’s Day parade, citing his conversation yesterday with Catholic League president Bill Donohue and further accusations that Mamdani is anti-Semitic and hostile to Catholics, Jews, veterans, and law enforcement. Sid then delves into a report that the Mamdani administration asked a court to let city lawyers stop representing former Mayor Eric Adams in a sexual assault case. Nationally, the Senate voted down a measure to reopen the Department of Homeland Security amid a partial government shutdown, and the Senate overwhelmingly passed a bipartisan housing affordability bill that faces uncertainty in the House as Trump urges prioritizing the SAVE Act. Finally, Sid expands on Trump administration attacks on media coverage of the war in Iran, including FCC-related license threats, invoking his conversation yesterday with Sen. Ron Johnson defending First Amendment principles.

CEO of Jewish News Syndicate Alex Traiman calls in live from Israel to describe Israel under sustained attack, with Iran firing ballistic missiles multiple times a day, including cluster munitions aimed at civilian population centers, alongside rocket fire from Hezbollah; he recounts repeated trips to shelters in Jerusalem, with heavier bombardment in Tel Aviv and Haifa. He explains Israel’s alert and missile-defense systems, schools moving to Zoom for 19 days, and daily life continuing despite sirens.

Editor-In-Chief of National Review Rich Lowry joins Sid for his weekly Wednesday morning appearance to talk about the World Baseball Classic, agreeing it is contrived compared with the Olympics. The conversation shifts to New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s St. Patrick’s Day remarks, criticized for bringing up Gaza/Palestine and calling Israelis genocidal; Sid and Rich then address Joe Kent’s resignation and claim of “no imminent threat,” arguing threats should be confronted before becoming imminent and criticizing isolationists they say are hostile to Israel and falsely claim Trump was tricked into war, while noting most MAGA Republicans back Trump due to opposition to Iran and preventing a nuclear threat. Finally, they debate the SAVE Act and voter ID, with Lowry supporting citizenship verification but warning against eliminating the filibuster given likely lack of votes and potential future Democratic actions, and they criticize Republican opposition, especially Lisa Murkowski.

Author & Geopolitics Expert Gordon Chang joins Sid to discuss the Iran conflict and rising oil prices are financially benefiting Russia and could tilt the Russia-Ukraine war of attrition in Moscow’s favor, despite Chang saying Ukraine currently has battlefield initiative. Chang argues the U.S. should seize Russian “dark ships” and stop Iranian oil transits through the Strait of Hormuz to cut funding for Russia and Iran. He says the conflicts are interconnected in a broader global struggle against Russia, China, Iran, and North Korea, and claims China is aiding Iran with intelligence and weapons, making it inappropriate for President Trump to visit Beijing, a trip Trump postponed. Chang supports Trump’s actions against Iran, citing Iran’s enriched uranium and missile capabilities, and disputes outgoing counterterrorism director Joe Kent’s claim of no imminent threat.

Attorney Jim Walden joins Sid to discuss his investigative work claiming Mayor Mamdani and his wife misrepresented their association with a children’s book co-author accused of antisemitic remarks. Walden asks Sid about “Cockroach Gate”; Sid says he’d still apologize but feels no vindication because major Democrats and media outlets won’t cover the newer information. They discuss how long President Trump will tolerate the mayor’s criticisms while the mayor seeks federal housing money, and Sid argues the mayor’s alienation of religious groups won’t matter to supporters until financial consequences hit.

Former Utah State Volleyball star Kaylie Ray calls in to discuss her testimony in the Arizona Senate Education Committee supporting bill HCR 2003. Ray says the bill would create three sports categories, allow optional co-ed teams, and protect women-only private spaces such as locker rooms and bathrooms. She criticizes State Senator Catherine Miranda’s comments during the hearing and argues that allowing men into women’s sports and spaces eliminates women’s sports and raises safety concerns. Ray says she has received strong public support but little coverage from Arizona media, and she describes her connection with Riley Gaines, who advised her in the past when her Utah State team forfeited against San Jose State over a biological male player.

Former Congressman Peter King joins the program on this St. Patrick's Day to describe his role during the Clinton era in advancing peace in Northern Ireland, outlining historical discrimination against Catholics and the violence from 1969 onward. He says President Bill Clinton, along with Tony Blair and Irish Prime Minister Bertie Ahern, helped drive negotiations that led to the 1998 Good Friday Agreement, with King sometimes acting as an unofficial emissary after setbacks, and he notes New York’s St. Patrick’s Day events and Cardinal O’Connor’s public gestures aided awareness. King contrasts Northern Ireland’s compromise and leaders willing to accept partial gains with the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, criticizing Arafat’s failure to deliver. He condemns the Irish government’s pro-Palestinian stance, calling it a European elite trend, and argues U.S. interests align with supporting Israel. Learn more about your ad choices.

Former Deputy National Security Advisor Victoria Coates joins Sid to discuss the Iran conflict, where Coates argues timeline ambiguity is useful and says U.S. objectives center on disabling nuclear sites and addressing highly enriched uranium, while noting potential continued engagement if the Strait of Hormuz remains blocked. She emphasizes a second, economic front as Iran shuts down the internet, banks, and markets, predicting severe capital flight when restrictions lift. Coates contrasts Japan’s constitutional limits and growing defense posture with what she calls Europe’s disgraceful lack of naval capability and will, criticizing UK leader Keir Starmer’s behavior and forecasting political upheaval. She also expects Trump’s China trip to be postponed due to war and China’s dependence on Gulf energy. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

President of the Catholic League Bill Donahue joins Sid for his annual St. Patrick's Day appearance to talk about why he no longer marches in New York’s St. Patrick’s Day parade: after defending the parade’s rules against political banners, parade leaders in 2014 allowed gay groups to march under their own banner but, he says, continued to deny pro-life groups, which he calls a double-cross by parade “elites.” He adds disappointment that Ireland has become de-Christianized, far left, and supportive of recognizing a Palestinian state.

On this Monday edition of Sid & Friends in the Morning, Sid covers Mayor Mamdani signing an executive order creating New York City’s first Mayor’s Office of LGBTQIA+ Affairs, led by attorney Taylor Brown, the first out trans woman to lead a city office, focusing on anti-discrimination efforts and responses to federal rollbacks including NYU Langone ending trans youth treatment. Sid also reports on the partial government shutdown causing TSA agents to miss paychecks, leading to resignations, absences, and long airport lines, with DHS blaming Democrats. Next, Rosenberg expands on the third week of war with Iran, efforts to evacuate Americans via El Al recovery flights from Tel Aviv to New York, fighting over the Strait of Hormuz, and additional U.S. troops deploying.

Claxton says Hofstra isn’t satisfied just making the NCAA tournament and expects to win their first round matchup against Alabama, outlining scouting Bama's fast pace and three-point shooting, praising star Cruz Davis for staying and improving, and reflecting on how NIL and the transfer portal affect roster continuity and recruiting, which he says is now largely driven by money.

Senator Ron Johnson joins Sid to touch upon his defense of the First Amendment and a free press, saying he generally opposes the government threatening broadcasters’ licenses, though he notes broadcast license holders have responsibilities to report truthfully and correct errors. He says a question about FCC complaints was sprung on him, as he intended to focus on the SAVE America Act and the filibuster. Johnson explains cloture and argues the modern cloture vote often shuts down debate; he says a “talking filibuster” wouldn’t overcome Democrats’ ability to keep offering amendments, and contends passing the SAVE America Act likely requires ending the cloture vote and moving to majority passage, believing Democrats will end the filibuster anyway. He also criticizes Republicans’ DHS funding strategy, saying they should have bundled DHS funding with Democratic priorities, and faults leadership for not attaching the Shutdown Fairness Act, which he says would have ensured pay during shutdowns.

Former New York City Councilman Bob Holden calls in to discuss Council Speaker Julie Menin’s tweet about combating Islamophobia, which Sid and Holden criticize in light of recent terrorist attacks and rising antisemitism; Holden argues Menin and most City Council Democrats cater to the far-left for ambition and electoral security. They discuss internal Council dynamics, Holden’s view that prior Speaker Adrienne Adams was the worst, and Sid’s belief Menin is more dangerous because she presents as moderate. Both condemn Menin’s actions against Councilwoman Vicki Paladino and praise Paladino’s popularity and outspoken views. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
Sports Radio Personality Joe Benigno joins Sid to talk about WFAN “heydays,” before focusing on college basketball, arguing St. John’s was “screwed” with a 5-seed sent to San Diego while UConn, which St. John’s beat twice including by 20, got a 2-seed; he attributes it to the committee disliking Rick Pitino due to past NCAA issues. Benigno says St. John’s must reach the Sweet 16 after winning 19 of 20 and believes they could make a Final Four, while predicting a No. 1 seed likely wins the tournament and highlighting Iowa State as a strong team. He also discusses the Knicks’ playoff-focused outlook after a close win over a short-handed Warriors, critiques college sports realignment, and recaps Team USA’s 2–1 WBC win over the Dominican Republic featuring key defense, relief pitching, and late strikeouts of Soto and Machado.

On this Friday edition of Sid & Friends in the Morning, Sid covers an attack on a Michigan synagogue in West Bloomfield where a man rammed a truck into the building, was armed with a rifle, had mortar-type explosives in his vehicle, and was shot and killed by security; synagogues nationwide, including Temple Emmanuel on Manhattan’s Upper East Side, increased security as the NYPD deployed high-visibility patrols and leaders warned of rising antisemitism. The great morning show host then dives into courtroom testimony from Stephanie Diller, the widow of NYPD officer Jonathan Diller, describing learning of his shooting and death and the aftermath. Therafter, Rosenberg expands on the death of longtime New York news anchor and WABC Radio colleague Ernie Anastos and looks back at his career, including an appearance Sid himself made on Ernies podcast right here at 77 WABC.

Stern explains that Grey Bull Rescue evacuates American citizens from conflict zones, hostage situations, wars, and natural disasters, reporting 808 missions in four years and about 8,800 lives saved, including moving thousands through the Jordan-Israel border. They discuss missile threats, the logistics of “mercy flights,” and the need for leadership, planes, and funding, noting charter flights can cost about $500,000 and that people—including mothers with infants—have been turned away due to limited seats.

Defense Attorney Joe Tacopina joins Sid for his weekly Friday morning hit to talk about the World Baseball Classic, arguing modern pitch counts and reduced workloads make pitchers more fragile while the real injury driver is today’s max-velocity approach. He shares a humorous memory of being mocked for wearing Mets jerseys while their colleague wore cowboy hats and boots, then discusses renewed excitement around St. John’s basketball under Rick Pitino and plans to attend the Big East tournament. Turning to war, Tacopina says that regardless of how it began, the U.S. must finish the mission and that airstrikes can only damage Iran’s nuclear program; securing enriched uranium and verifying destruction would require limited special-operations “boots on the ground.” He also criticizes NYC Mayor Eric Adams’ free-speech rationale for hosting Mahmoud Khalil and cites Adams visiting a wounded perpetrator instead of a shot police officer.

Former Deputy National Security Advisor K.T. McFarland joins Sid for her weekly Friday morning appearance to talk about the death of New York anchor Ernie Anastos, praising him as an old-school journalist focused on reporting rather than political agendas, and contrasts him with today’s more openly partisan network anchors. She argues ego and agenda-driven media fuel relentless criticism of President Trump, including over the Iran war, and rejects claims the conflict is “Israel’s war,” saying Iran seeks leverage through economic pressure and threats like closing the Strait of Hormuz. McFarland criticizes figures such as Marjorie Taylor Greene and Tucker Carlson for framing Trump as donor-driven and tying U.S. actions to Israel. She also cites recent U.S. terror incidents and contends officials and Democrats face little consequence, while praising the FBI and DOJ for taking threats seriously.

Sid then criticizes CNN’s framing and on-air wording about the ISIS-inspired terrorist attack outside Gracie Mansion last weekend, before he mocks the women of The View for claiming that the Iran war was launched by President Trump to distract from other stories such as “Savannah Guthrie” and the Epstein files.

Executive Director of the White House Task Force for the FIFA World Cup 2026, Andrew Giuliani, joins the morning show to talk about being appointed by President Trump to oversee operations for the 2026 FIFA World Cup across 16 host cities in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico, with 48 teams, about 91 days away. He says the job has become harder amid an Iran conflict and because the Department of Homeland Security is shut down, affecting TSA capacity, cybersecurity readiness, and planning for millions of additional summer travelers, including events tied to America’s 250th birthday. Giuliani warns of massive cyber threats, noting the last World Cup saw over 15 billion thwarted cyberattacks and that organizers expect nearly double. The conversation also covers NIL and transfer rules in college sports, arguing football and men’s basketball drive revenue while unchecked payments and free agency threaten Olympic and women’s sports, and that congressional action is needed.

Defense Attorney Arthur Aidala joins the show to talk about the ongoing murder trial of NYPD officer Jonathan Diller, noting that Diller’s wife Stephanie may testify and describing the difficulty for families watching body-cam footage. Aidala explains the concept of a “long plea,” why defendants often go to trial in high-profile cases, and the defense attorney’s role in ensuring the rules are followed even when a defense (such as an “accidental” gun discharge) seems unlikely; he predicts the defendants will spend life in prison. Sid and Artie then discuss mayoral politics, criticizing past leadership and focusing on candidate Zohran Mamdani’s proposal to raise NYC taxes on millionaires, citing that under 1% of filers pay 37% of city income taxes.

Caroline Glick, International Affairs Advisor to Bibi Netanyahu, joins the program to discuss the Iran war, with Sid describing friends across Israel still using bomb shelters and casualties from recent bombings, while Glick says Israelis are near-unanimous that the campaign must be done and is the only path to peace because Iran has long blocked peace by sponsoring terrorist armies since 1979. Asked about Netanyahu’s political prospects, Glick cites specific pollsters and Channel 14/15 polling she says show rising support and a landslide for Netanyahu’s coalition. Sid and Caroline also discuss Israel’s remarkable intelligence capabilities, and Glick describes the Iranian regime as a dangerous “death cult” pursuing missiles, terror proxies, ICBMs, and a nuclear umbrella that must be stopped before it becomes immune to attack.

Retired NYPD Lieutenant Darrin Porcher makes his debut with Sid live in-studio to talk about growing public disrespect for police, which Porcher attributes to the Bill de Blasio administration. Porcher criticizes current City Hall leadership and says Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch should resign rather than serve policies he believes harm public safety. He argues Mayor Mamdani is a catastrophic failure, questions who funded him, and says Mamdani’s opposition to adding 5,000 officers and preference for social workers reflects anti-police views; Porcher claims 98% of NYPD dislike Mamdani but continue serving residents. He contrasts Giuliani and Bloomberg’s public-safety “template” with de Blasio and Eric Adams, and says Mamdani’s promises of “free” programs have led to taxes and new parking charges, creating a leadership vacuum and prompting calls for impeachment.

Fine says New York is a “beachhead” for a mainstream Muslim takeover, accuses the mayor of siding with Iran, and condemns the mayor for inviting a figure the government has tried to deport, while also citing controversy involving the mayor’s wife liking graphic content. Fine claims opponents use language rules to silence critics, contrasting acceptance of terms like “white supremacy” with backlash to “Muslim terror.” He calls current immigration patterns an “invasion,” including legal immigration, and cites violent incidents involving immigrants. Fine says 53 House Democrats voted against a resolution stating Iran is the leading state sponsor of terrorism. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
Attorney Jim Walden calls in to discuss representing NYC Councilmember Vicki Paladino over disciplinary action tied to her tweets, arguing the City Council and Speaker Julie Menin are hypocritically targeting a Republican while ignoring Democrats’ inflammatory social media statements.

He outlines a strategy to fight in court with the next date on April 7 and, if needed, build a coalition to block action by securing 18 votes. Walden rejects any plea bargain and says the issue is free speech and speaking about terrorism and extremist threats. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Sid Rosenberg delivered another high-energy morning packed with politics, national security, and New York sports on Sid and Friends in the Morning. Former NYC Council Minority Leader Joe Borelli joined Sid to discuss the controversy surrounding Councilmember Vicky Palladino, arguing that efforts by the City Council to punish her over social media posts could set a troubling precedent for policing political speech and may even strengthen her standing with voters. Media heavyweight Bill O'Reilly weighed in on global tensions, breaking down the geopolitical logic behind U.S. actions involving Iran and stressing that military strength, disciplined strategy, and high-level negotiations—not media narratives—ultimately determine outcomes on the world stage. From Capitol Hill, U.S. Senator Rick Scott honored fallen service members and defended President Donald Trump’s military actions as necessary preemptive steps to protect American lives, while criticizing partisan battles over war powers. Congresswoman Nicole Malliotakis also joined the program to celebrate a Supreme Court decision preserving New York’s 11th Congressional District map, calling it a major victory for voters in Staten Island and Brooklyn and a stand against partisan gerrymandering. And in the sports world, WFAN legend Joe Beningo brought his trademark passion to the studio, ripping the New York Mets bullpen, debating the playoff ceiling of the New York Knicks, and sounding off on the latest quarterback drama surrounding the New York Jets. From City Hall battles to global strategy and die-hard New York sports talk, Sid kept the conversation lively, opinionated, and unmistakably New York. Learn more about your ad choices.

In a high-energy Thursday morning appearance on Sid Rosenberg's show, WFAN icon Joe Beningo joins from New Jersey to discuss the latest in New York sports. He opens with light-hearted jabs about his recent media feud with Mayor Zohran Mamdani before diving into the good news: warmer weather ahead to end a brutal winter. Beningo expresses strong support for President Trump's actions on Iran, citing decades of unaddressed attacks on Americans, while acknowledging some Republican criticism. Turning to sports, he mourns the recent passing of coaching legend Lou Holtz (who coached the disastrous 1976 Jets season), reminisces about college basketball's glory days before NIL and one-and-dones "ruined" it, and debates the Knicks' status as a solid but not elite Eastern Conference team (predicting 50+ wins, a first-round playoff victory, but no championship). He rips the officiating in their recent loss to OKC but urges fans to relax—the regular season is just seeding. On the Jets, Beningo shows cautious optimism in new GM moves (like franchising Breece Hall) but low confidence in head coach Aaron Glenn, suggesting a stopgap QB this year and a real franchise prospect in the stacked 2027 draft class. For the Mets, he laments losing Pete Alonso and Edwin Diaz, questions the bullpen (especially Devin Williams), but sees contender potential with improved starting pitching and hitters like Juan Soto and Bo Bichette—if they don't make the playoffs, manager Carlos Mendoza and GM David Stearns could be out. He gives the Yankees a strong nod for their rotation (led by a healthy Gerrit Cole) and playoff lock, though the loaded AL East and Dodgers' dominance temper World Series hopes. Beningo closes by predicting a potential lengthy MLB lockout over salary cap issues, urging fans to enjoy 2026 while it lasts. Full of signature passion, honesty ("let's be honest"), and New York grit, it's classic Joe Beningo. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Megyn Kelly, journalist & Host of The Megyn Kelly Show, makes her return to the morning show to discuss backlash she's received in recent months for her content, saying she has no need to defend herself and that public figures routinely face “hit” accusations. Sid and Megyn discuss Kelly’s recent show growth and then a story she covered involving Savannah Guthrie’s book describing a childhood “kidnapping game,” recent reporting that someone searched for Nancy Guthrie’s address and house image on a date police requested camera footage, and a Today Show segment featuring the family—details they say could support a theory of a stalker or obsessed fan/hater. The conversation shifts to the Epstein files: both say they want anyone guilty of abusing minors jailed, but Kelly says she is interested rather than consumed, and after reviewing reporting and team analysis she sees a disturbing culture of wealthy, powerful men exploiting young women and looking the other way after Epstein’s conviction. Kelly criticizes bipartisan hypocrisy and highlights Howard Lutnick as an example, alleging he misrepresented his past interactions with Epstein despite later visiting Epstein’s island and doing business with him.

Finally, he addresses concerns about Iranian-linked sleeper cells, saying Hezbollah has operated in the New York metropolitan area for decades, and claims the NYPD and regional security forces are aware, monitoring the threat, and have made arrests involving Iranian officials linked to Hezbollah.

The conversation turns to what to expect from President Trump’s upcoming address amid Fox News speculation about a possible Iran strike, with Malliotakis highlighting claimed accomplishments on taxes, jobs, manufacturing, hostage issues, border security, deportations, and crime reduction, and both criticizing Democrats for past refusals to applaud, including for a boy with cancer.

Political activist Riley Gaines calls in to talk about transgender-related controversies, recent violent incidents involving transgender individuals, and what they describe as Democrats and media using labels like “racist” and “misogynistic” to silence criticism. Gaines argues that the “affirmation model” harms children, contends the suicide narrative is used to pressure parents, and says some activists are taught that “words are violence,” which she believes can justify real violence. Sid and Riley also discuss parental rights, with Gaines speaking as a new mother about government overreach, and review progress on keeping men out of women’s sports, citing 27 states’ laws, Trump executive orders, and the need for Congress to act while naming states they say are defying the orders. The conversation ends with criticism of Olympic athletes who disparage the U.S. and of reporters asking athletes political questions, which Gaines says is baiting them to attack Trump rather than focusing on sport.

Economic Journalist Charles Gasparino joins the program to discuss his criticism of the Super Bowl halftime show featuring Bad Bunny and discusses his column arguing the NFL believes it is “bulletproof” compared with other companies that “go woke, go broke.” Gasparino says the league cynically assumes its core football audience is highly addicted—especially through fantasy sports and online gambling—so it can virtue signal to attract new demographics, including international and Spanish-speaking audiences as it expands games abroad. He cites Super Bowl viewership declines after the halftime show and contrasts it with an alternative broadcast that drew about 6 million viewers versus roughly 135 million for the Super Bowl. The conversation then shifts to New York City finances, where Gasparino warns that under the Financial Emergency Control Act of 1975 the city must balance its budget using GAAP; if it ends the year in deficit and the mayor cannot raise income taxes or cut spending, the state could take over the city’s finances, potentially transferring key control to Governor Kathy Hochul.

Former Deputy National Security Advisor K.T. McFarland makes her return to the morning show with Sid to talk about Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s noncommittal response about whether the U.S. should commit troops to defend Taiwan if China attacked. McFarland says leaders typically prepare Q&A materials and argues AOC “blew” a predictable top question, comparing her unfavorably to Kamala Harris and calling AOC not a serious person, while Sid contrasts her with Republicans like JD Vance and Marco Rubio. The discussion shifts to expectations that President Trump will ultimately take stronger action against Iran, with McFarland describing Iran’s worsening internal situation—sanctions, a “ghost fleet” used to sell oil, U.S. efforts to seize and shut it down, high inflation, and potential for internal collapse—and outlining options Trump could pursue, including letting Israel act and then stepping in. They also discuss Israeli politics, noting President Isaac Herzog’s limited role but power to pardon, Trump’s criticism of Herzog for not pardoning Prime Minister Netanyahu, and McFarland’s view that Herzog’s stance is driven by domestic election politics and that Netanyahu could ultimately be seen as a Churchill-like figure who brings peace.

New York City Council Speaker Julie Menin makes her debut on the morning show with Sid to discuss Mayor Mandani’s warning that property taxes could rise 9.5% if Albany, under Governor Hochul, does not raise income and corporate taxes. Menin says only the City Council has the authority to raise property taxes and states the Council has made clear any property tax increase is not up for discussion during an affordability crisis, nor are cuts to essential services. She argues the city can find savings elsewhere, highlighting escalating public sector and retiree healthcare costs (nearly $11 billion, up from $6 billion five years ago) and describing her healthcare accountability office as a way to save an estimated $2 billion annually by leveraging city purchasing power and renegotiating hospital pricing disparities. She also cites reducing reliance on no-bid contracts as another major savings opportunity, and notes upcoming budget hearings and negotiations leading to a June 30 budget deadline.

New York Post Columnist Miranda Devine joins Sid to talk about Jesse Jackson’s legacy, focusing on his past antisemitic remarks and arguing they look mild compared to today’s “civil rights” figures, which she links to the influence of the Nation of Islam on the movement. Sid criticizes Spike Lee for wearing Palestinian symbols at the NBA All-Star Game, suggesting it is provocative and anti-Jewish, while Devine says it reflects fashionable virtue-signaling in his circles. Devine then praises Marco Rubio’s Munich speech as confident, diplomatic “good cop” follow-up to JD Vance’s earlier “bad cop” message urging Europe to grow up, pay its way, and stop relying on the U.S., noting Rubio openly referenced Christian Western culture and drew criticism from outlets like the New York Times and figures like AOC. They contrast Rubio with Democrats such as Gavin Newsom and sharply criticize AOC’s Munich appearance, calling her uninformed, applauded by European socialists, and suggesting she is positioning herself for a 2028 presidential run.

Lawler discusses President Trump’s upcoming State of the Union and says many Democrats, including AOC, are boycotting, then criticizes AOC’s recent comments in Munich and her attacks on Marco Rubio’s speech. The conversation shifts to Democrats’ emphasis on climate policy, with Lawler arguing Democrats have conflated climate and energy policy, citing New York’s high utility costs and decisions such as shutting down nuclear power, banning natural gas, and blocking pipelines. He frames energy policy as central to national security, referencing international oil dynamics involving Iran, China, Venezuela, and Russia. The discussion also criticizes New York’s budget process and legislative oversight, alleging Gov. Kathy Hochul “found” $1.5 billion without scrutiny and claiming Democrats in Albany conduct little oversight and suppress Republican questioning in hearings, including on antisemitism.

Jewish activist Shabbos Kestenbaum returns to the morning show to discuss Spike Lee wearing a pro-Palestinian themed outfit at the NBA All-Star game in response to Israeli NBA player & all-star Deni Avdija playing in the game, arguing it reflects a double standard toward Jews and Israel compared with other international athletes. He cites examples of Jewish and Israeli athletes facing hostility and criticizes Hollywood and prominent Jewish executives for not forcefully responding to antisemitism since October 7. The conversation also addresses antisemitism from the Black community in New York, references criticism of a Robert Kraft Super Bowl ad as unrealistic, and turns to the reported death of Jesse Jackson, whom the host says is remembered by many Jews for his antisemitic remarks and for not distancing himself from Louis Farrakhan and the Nation of Islam. Kestenbaum argues that the American Jewish community’s strategy of universalizing its causes has not ensured acceptance, and concludes that Jewish survival ultimately depends on Jews standing up for themselves, while acknowledging there are allies.

Conservative activist Scott Pressler makes his return to the program to discuss his voter turnout and election integrity work and the SAVE America Act, which Pressler argues must be brought to the Senate floor and passed to avoid repeating GOP legislative failures after 2016 and risking losses in the 2026 midterms. Pressler says he will escalate pressure on senators who are not supporting the bill—citing Lisa Murkowski, Mitch McConnell, and John Thune—by organizing handwritten letter campaigns while the Senate is on break and later moving to rallies and in-person visits, with planned trips to Alaska, Kentucky, and South Dakota. He notes Susan Collins supports the act, expresses disappointment that private citizens are working harder than Congress to deliver on 2024 promises, and says the situation makes him consider running for office. Pressler adds he has not spoken directly with President Trump recently but spent a week on Capitol Hill meeting over 80 members of Congress to build relationships and promote election integrity reform.

Congressman Tom Emmer joins Sid live in-studio to touch upon Sid's frustration about not being invited yet to next week's State of the Union speech in Washington, D.C. before he speaks on the backlash over comments that the Super Bowl halftime show should be in English or at least provide translations, arguing the NFL’s choices were driven by money and deals, including with Amazon, and expressing a preference for more familiar music. Emmer describes being in New York for a wedding and doing media rounds on Presidents’ Day, praises several New York Republicans as hardworking, and harshly criticizes Democratic members such as Nadler, Raskin, and Swalwell. Sid and Tom talk about State of the Union decorum, including Democrats’ shirts and paddles, the possibility of enforcing rules more strictly. The conversation then shifts to a looming DHS funding standoff and potential impacts on TSA workers, while Emmer argues Democrats are disconnected from voters on border security, cites large numbers of people pulled from Minneapolis and thousands of migrant children allegedly lost by the Biden administration, and says Democrats broke promises on a bipartisan bill that already included reforms and body-camera funding, leaving them with no message beyond opposition to Trump.

The discussion ends with coverage of the DHS government shutdown that will disrupt TSA and air travel; Lowry says ICE funding would remain intact and suggests Republicans might concede on items like training, uniforms, and visible badge numbers but should not agree to unmasking agents or requiring judicial warrants that would hinder interior enforcement.

Alex Traiman, CEO of Jewish News Syndicate, joins Sid live from Israel to talk about Israeli player Deni Avdija becoming an NBA All-Star, noting his smart, all-around game and that many Israelis likely watched his All-Star game appearance via replay due to the late start time in Israel. The conversation shifts to a report that Spike Lee wore pro-Palestinian apparel at an All-Star event, which Traiman denounces. Sid and Alex then discuss Israel-U.S. views on Iran, arguing that Iranian agreements are unreliable, citing the NPT, the JCPOA, and skepticism that any verifiable deal can be reached; Traiman references a prior 12-day war and U.S. participation in “Operation Midnight Hammer” targeting Fordo, and suggests any future strike could be a joint U.S.-Israel operation, emphasizing Israel’s intelligence capabilities. They also address President Trump’s criticism of Israeli President Isaac Herzog for not pardoning Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, with Traiman saying Trump’s remarks surprised people but were significant in countering claims that Netanyahu’s Washington visit had failed and in underscoring Trump’s view of Netanyahu as a strong wartime leader.
