Summary

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. Brian Kilmeade, Joe Tacopina, K.T. McFarland, Lou Civello, Nancy Mace & Bryan Stern join Sid on this Friday installment of Sid & Friends in the Morning. Learn more about your ad choices.
