Summary

On this Tunnel to Towers hump day edition of Sid & Friends in the Morning, Sid details opening statements in Queens Criminal Court in the murder trial of Guy Rivera, accused of fatally shooting NYPD officer Jonathan Diller in March 2024, with prosecutors alleging Rivera intentionally fired and the defense claiming an unintentional discharge; Rivera has pleaded not guilty and faces life without parole if convicted. Sid then reports on the war involving Iran, including US strikes on Iranian naval vessels and mine layers near the Strait of Hormuz, warnings from the Trump administration about oil flow disruption, a Pentagon update that 140 US service members have been injured, political debate over ending the war and possible ground troops, and Netanyahu urging Iranians to rise up amid police threats to protesters. It also includes commentary on Iran threatening women’s soccer players who refused to sing the national anthem overseas in Australia, and Sid dives into NYC Mayor Zohran Momani hosting pro-Palestine Columbia activist Mahmud Khalil at Gracie Mansion after his ICE detention and release, backlash over Khalil’s affiliations, and scrutiny of Mamdani’s wife's problematic social media activity. Jeff Lax, Jim Walden, Peter King, Randy Fine, Rich Lowry & Scott LoBaido join the show on this T2T Wednesday installment of Sid & Friends in the Morning. Learn more about your ad choices.
