Summary

On this Monday edition of Sid & Friends in the Morning, Sid returns to the host chair after a long week away on holiday and to celebrate the New Year, only to catch up on all the big news he missed over the last couple of weeks. Sid covers the United States' military operation in Venezuela over the weekend, capturing indicted narcoterrorist Dictator Nicolás Maduro, further proving President Trump is a President of peace, not war. In other news of the day, the President called into the morning show and John Catsimatidis last week to heap some praise on Sid and the radio station as a whole, and New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani is already showing his true colors after just days in office. Bruce Blakeman, Gordon Chang, John Catsimatidis, Nicole Parker & Shabbos Kestenbaum join Sid on this Monday installment of Sid & Friends in the Morning. Learn more about your ad choices.
