I'll now hand you over to my best man, Eddie.

Wow, wow, wow, second time's a charm, eh, Billy Boy?

Oh God.

Substitution, courtesy of Paddy Power embarrassing Eddie makes way for sensible Samuel.

Cool, that was close.

Big special election coming up to put somebody in that seat that Mikey Mohammed Cheryl vacated when she won the gubernatorial in New Jersey,

which was a terrible day for that state. It's the 11th Congressional District. And the man that

I'm endorsing enthusiastically to win is Joe Hathaway, mentioned him a couple of times on this show

the last couple of weeks. And he's here right now this morning. Joe, good morning, pal.

How are you?

Doing great, Sid. Thanks so much for having me on. I've got a lot of friends in New Jersey that say a lot of nice things about you. I guess you've already done a bunch of events. I'm trying to think a bum was in Teaneck. I don't remember. But anyway, they've got a lot of friends in Jersey

and they'll have been talking about you

for a couple of weeks and, you know,

the pro-Israel thing keeps coming up and look, I'm not a one-issue guy. It's not about just pro-Israel for me, but that's certainly very, very important, especially in this day and age of this rise of anti-Semitism and a mayor in my city who couldn't give

an F, whether a Jew was attacked or not.

So the fact that you are pro-Israel, Joe, does mean a lot to me.

I guess is that where your campaign basically starts?

Well, look, you know, when you're running against someone who clings to the far fringe of the Democrat Party, squad-backed, AOC endorsed candidate like my opponent, there's no shortage of things that are a real sticking point for common sense people in our district.

And whether it's been her horrific rhetoric against the Jewish people in our district, or whether it's her socialist economic policies, like government-controlled health care and education, or her positions to push defunding police. I mean, Sid, you know, she is about as bad as it gets, and I believe we're going to win this thing because Republicans are going to stop socialism right here in New Jersey. God, I hope you're right. I was so high on Jack Chittrelli. Jack and I are very, very, very good friends. He will even tell you, Joe, on the air, forget about in private, that he believes the reason why he finished such a close second to Phil Murphy four years ago was because of me, flat out me. And then he came on, and I thought he had this one easy against Mikey. Cheryl. I knew he was down in the polls. I knew it. He was only down about three points. That's margin of error stuff. And he got blown out. He got blown out. And people say, well, it's because he's a Trump guy and he is a Republican. I'm starting to feel like in the state of New Jersey that a lot of you guys,

the worthy choices, the Republicans, aren't going to be given a fair shake. Am I missing something

here? Well, look, I think this race is a little different, Sid, because I'll tell you,
