On this Tuesday edition of Sid & Friends in the Morning, Sid delivers his fourth to last morning show of the year as we wind down 2024 ahead of the start of the extended holiday vacation starting next week. In news of the day, President-elect Donald Trump says he'd look at the possibility of a pardon for New York City Mayor Eric Adams, a New York judge rules against President Trump and his presidential immunity argument for a dismissal of his New York hush money case. President Trump also spoke on the mysterious drone sightings that have persisted locally, and why he's got a "warm spot" in his heart for TikTok ahead of a potential ban of the social media app when he takes office next month.
