Summary

Frank Morano, Councilman of the New York City Council for the 51st district, calls into the show to discuss upcoming political events and hot-button issues. They talk about the strong support former President Trump has shown for Jack Ciattarelli in the New Jersey governor's race, and joke about black SUVs potentially signaling a Trump appearance. Morano promotes his upcoming fundraiser on Staten Island, featuring notable political figures like Curtis Sliwa and David Carr, emphasizing that it's his only general election event. The conversation shifts to the competitiveness of the NJ governor's race, where Morano praises Ciattarelli’s hard work and bipartisan respect. They also dive into redistricting controversies, with Morano criticizing both Texas Democrats and New York Governor Kathy Hochul for using gerrymandering tactics, calling it a dangerous power grab.

It's your buddy, Sid Rosenberg, and yeah, I'm famous. But guess what? So is my guy Mike. I love him and his son, Michael, at Genesis of Brooklyn. This is not your typical dealership. Trust me, I've been there. It's a gorgeous place. The service, legendary. Brooklyn Family Values, Baby, that's what I'm talking about. Free valet pickup up to 25 miles. Current year Genesis loaners, three years of maintenance included, transparent, efficient, respectful, the best luxury service around.

This is Sid and Friends in the morning.

Scott Pressler, the president has enthusiastically, I mean in a big way,

0:57.2

endorsed Jack Chitterelli about five times. And he's got a place in New Jersey. He's there at

1:03.6

Bedminster. So it would make sense. I just don't know how security and all that happens in a

1:10.3

setting like that, the beachcomer on the beach, which I don't know, I've never been there. But I guess what Nolan was also intimating like Keith Jensen was black SUVs may mean the president. I mean, you're not going to have black SUVs for Jack Chittarelli or Scott Presler. Well, I don't know. We'll see. We'll talk to Jack Chirrelli coming up in about an hour. Frank Morano was here right now, the former amazing host of the other side of midnight, and now the best young Republican politician in the country out of Staten Island. Frank, good morning, buddy. How are you?

1:44.0

Good morning, Sid. I appreciate that, but I honestly, I had lunch with Inna Vernicav yesterday,

1:50.5

and there's no way I'm ahead of her on any list of the top young Republican anything.

1:55.1

So I'll happily take a second spot to our mutual friend, Inna Vernnikov, who we spent a good portion of the lunch

talking about you, actually.

2:03.1

It was the three of us, Councilmember David Carr, Ina, and myself.

2:07.3

And we ended up talking about not only how far you've come in your career and how much

2:12.4

you've developed and how much you've changed from, you know, debating whether or not the

2:16.4

Mets should have bunted to move the runner over in the eighth inning, uh, 10 years ago to really being the kind of powerhouse and presidential appointee, a sought after speaker all over the place that you are today. But I appreciate your warm introduction regardless, and it's always nice to talk to you. Same here. I disagree with you about I know how much I love her.

2:35.2

Now, she's better looking.

3:08.6

Everybody knows that. Yes, that's sure. But I think we'll keep it on the agenda level. She's the big time woman. You're the big time man. I love both of you a lot. And I like David Cart too. He's a very, very impressive guy. I know for a while there there was a pretty big battle inside the Congress here, the House here, I should say, about who should be the minority leader, and a lot of folks, a lot of folks want to David Korn. Some want to Joanne Ariola. I know the whole battle, but regardless, that is a power lunch, Morano, Vernacov, and Korn.
