Summary

On this Monday edition of Sid & Friends in the Morning, elected officials in California are getting reamed by incoming President Donald Trump and others for their lack of preparedness regarding the raging wildfires that continue to burn through and decimate southern California. Whether it's Governor Gavin Newsom or L.A. Mayor Karen Bass, the utter incompetence among California's Democrat politicians is palpable. In other news of the day, President Biden and Israeli Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu speak over the phone regarding a possible ceasefire agreement in the Middle East, special counsel Jack Smith resigns ahead of President Trump taking office, staunch Trump ally Steve Bannon rips into Elon Musk for being immature, and Sid begins the seven-day countdown to the inauguration of the 47th President of these United States, Donald J. Trump. Jaime Williams, Curtis Sliwa, Alan Dershowitz, John Catsimatidis and Robert Tucker join the program on this Monday installment of Sid & Friends in the Morning.
