Summary

On this Friday edition of Sid & Friends in the Morning, Sid previews his 59th birthday coming up this Sunday. In news of the day, FIFA is kicking the World Cup train scandal back to New Jersey, with soccer’s controversial governing body tackling Gov. Mikie Sherrill’s shot over exorbitant World Cup transport pricing — while calling foul on her demands to use the billions it is getting from the event to cover those costs, the 10-day cease-fire between Israel and Lebanon appears to be holding so far — hours after President Trump branded the truce a historic day for Lebanon, the Trump administration is yanking $74 million in federal highway grants from the Empire State for refusing to comply with the feds’ demand that it boot immigrant truck drivers with expired work authorizations off the roads, and Democrat Analilia Mejía wins the New Jersey special election for the U.S. House, defeating Republican Joe Hathaway on a message of standing up to President Donald Trump and defending progressive policies. Brian Kilmeade, Joe Tacopina, K.T. McFarland, Moshe Shear, Daniel Braun, Bucky Apisdorf, Nicole Malliotakis & Suzanne Miller join Sid on this Friday installment of Sid & Friends in the Morning.
