All right, Joe, Joe, my man celebrated a birthday earlier this week. He's the best defense attorney anywhere in the world. He's my dear friend of 48 years. And he's an army guy. This guy's in Germany all the time. He's hanging out with people like General Donahue. You guys don't know that. So he knows a lot about this war, not just court cases in New York City, but about this war. So let me get to

Joseph right away. I had Katie McFarlane on earlier. She said, ah, it's just about over.

Trump is telling everybody the war is just about over. We won. And I said, well, I talk to people on

the inside, okay, that may or may not include you, may not, that tell me it's not over.

It's not really close to being over, despite what Trump is trying to sell the public.

So you tell me, Joseph Takapina, how's this war going, and is it nearly over?

So I asked Lou this morning to introduce me with a different song.

You know, normally I'll just go Skinner every day of the week. Yeah. I asked them this morning for flirting with the death by Molly Hatchet. Oh, yeah. Well, you were talking over it. You didn't hear it. Okay. But Lou had it played. It was really nice, but we didn't hear it because... Molly Hatchet? Yeah. Flirt with Zet. Can I ask you a question? Here it is. Okay, great. Hold on, hold on.

Where does it kick? Hatchet? Yeah. Can I ask you a question? Here it is. Okay, great. Hold on, hold on. Where is a kid, an Italian kid, who I know like me wanted to be Chavolto, who grew up on Avenue X around Bedford Avenue? How does that guy become a Molly Hatchet fan? No, I'm not a Molly Hatchett fan. I'm a Leonard Skinner fan.

Molly Hatchett is the same genre,

Southern Rock.

They don't compare to Skinner, obviously,

but they have one legendary song called flirting with disaster. That was, again, we'll try to play twice. I play it again for this. I'll just play up. Be quiet. Be quiet now, Joe. Yeah. no way I I talked over it.

Shut this damn thing off.

I'm begging you.

Anyway, the point of song was not really about the chorus, the band, the genre.

Which was the words that was going to try and tie into my first.

We've lost the point altogether.

But flirting with disaster is where we are in this war right now. No, we haven't lost the point. You're saying we're flirting with disaster right now? Of course. We're not even close to this war being over or winning, winning. I mean, we're not, Sid, we're in trouble here. We have a lot of work to do. I mean... Oh on. Hold on a second. Hold on. Hold on.

Because I know that you represented President Trump in two different cases. Two different cases. You did a great job in both, including the Alvin Brad case. And I know that you still, you guys still talk occasionally. I don't know when, but you do when you like each other. what you're saying, you're basically saying that the president is maybe not lying,

but at the very least misleading the public when he says, other. What you're saying, you're basically saying that the president is, maybe not lying,

but at the very least misleading the public when he says this thing is over. You're saying
