On this Tuesday edition of Sid & Friends in the Morning, Sid returns to the host chair after his long weekend with family down in Florida, breaking down the mess at LaGuardia airport, where an Air Canada jet collided into a Port Authority airport vehicle late Sunday, an on-the-ground crash that demolished the front of the airplane, killed two pilots, injured dozens of passengers and prompted the airport to shut down. Sid then expands on the Trump administration deploying ICE and other Homeland Security agents to 14 of the nation's airports yesterday to help shuttle passengers through overcrowded TSA checkpoints. The Iran war rages as oil and stock markets grapple with conflicting messages from President Trump and Tehran, and Dylan Darling plays hero in St. John's 67-65 victory Sunday over Kansas in the second round of the NCAA tournament, punching the Red Storm's ticket to their first Sweet 16 since 1999.

On this Thursday edition of Sid & Friends in the Morning, Sid details a federal judge ordering deportation of New York City Council data analyst Raphael Rubio after deeming his asylum application abandoned over a missing-signature technicality, with Speaker Julie Menon and AG Letitia James criticizing the decision and an appeal due April 17; NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch warning New York faces an unusually high terror threat as federal counter-terrorism grants are cut, including a 40% reduction to the Homeland Security Grant and loss of Port Security Grant funding; the Senate’s marathon debate on the election “Save America Act,” backed by President Trump to require proof of citizenship and photo ID, opposed by Democrats as voter suppression, and acknowledged by Majority Leader John Thune as lacking votes; intensifying Israel-Iran strikes hitting major energy facilities, retaliatory missile and drone attacks across the region, and oil and US gas prices surging; and NCAA tournament bracket predictions favoring Iowa State to win the championship. Alan Dershowitz, Bill O'Reilly, Brian Kilmeade, Craig Carton & K.T. McFarland join Sid on this Friday-eve installment of Sid & Friends in the Morning. Learn more about your ad choices.

Former Deputy National Security Advisor K.T. McFarland joins Sid for her weekly appearance on the morning show to touch upon New York City “falling apart” due to poor state and city leadership, before she praises President Donald Trump for preempting Iran’s nuclear program despite advisers like Tulsi Gabbard, JD Vance, and Tucker Carlson opposing action. She argues Iran has long blackmailed the U.S. and Israel, cites Trump’s earlier killing of Soleimani, and says he spent years positioning “chess pieces” by weakening Iran economically, strengthening U.S. military posture, and increasing U.S. energy dominance through drilling, Venezuela, and Gulf Arab ties. The discussion covers Strait of Hormuz disruptions, Russia’s limited gains from higher oil prices, European worries about Ukraine, and claims China is a major loser. McFarland predicts a near-term military and political resolution leading to falling energy prices and improved U.S. growth, and says the U.S. may act soon on Cuba, with Marco Rubio reportedly talking to Raul Castro’s grandson about moving beyond communism.

Lawyer & Former Law Professor Alan Dershowitz joins the program to denounce former Trump administration figure Joe Kent as a neo-Nazi bigot and liar, rejecting Kent’s claim that Israel pushed the U.S. into the Iran war. Dershowitz argues that the current U.S.-Israel military action against Iran is a justified preventive war, comparing it to stopping Nazi Germany earlier and saying it will save countless lives by preventing Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons. He says polls show most Americans support Trump, the war, and opposing Iran, and criticizes extremists he links to Tucker Carlson. Asked about Trump’s support for Qatar, Dershowitz attributes it to personal rapport while acknowledging Qatar’s negative role and urging U.S. interests first. Learn more about your ad choices.

Sports Radio Personality Craig Carton joins Sid to talk about the start of the college basketball tournament, joking that many fans only care once brackets are due and can’t name players. Sid and Craig discuss how NIL and the transfer portal have reduced loyalty and made upsets less common, reminisce about playing pickup basketball together, and debate tournament logistics—especially St. John’s being sent to play in San Diego despite being in an Eastern bracket—while noting St. John’s fans’ frustration with their seeding and draw. The conversation shifts to the New York Jets, where Carton criticizes the decision to bring back Geno Smith despite acknowledging his recent resurgence, while praising the Jets’ offseason otherwise.

WABC Radio Host Brian Kilmeade joins the program to discuss the partial DHS shutdown affecting TSA, citing hundreds of TSA agents walking off the job and long wait times at airports like Atlanta, Washington, and Philadelphia; Kilmeade blames Democrats and criticizes their stance on voter ID while discussing the Save America Act, arguing Republicans should keep legislation focused on clean voter-ID provisions and noting possible compromise efforts to fund DHS. The conversation then shifts to questions about Trump’s relationship with Qatar amid Middle East tensions, with Kilmeade saying Qatar has served as a broker and investment partner, while Iran’s actions are clarifying regional alignments; he notes Gulf states have not condemned U.S. actions and suggests Qatar may be pushed to stop “playing both ends.” Learn more about your ad choices.

On this Wednesday edition of Sid & Friends in the Morning, Sid details Mayor Mamdani drawing criticism for remarks about genocide in Palestine during New York City’s St. Patrick’s Day parade, citing his conversation yesterday with Catholic League president Bill Donohue and further accusations that Mamdani is anti-Semitic and hostile to Catholics, Jews, veterans, and law enforcement. Sid then delves into a report that the Mamdani administration asked a court to let city lawyers stop representing former Mayor Eric Adams in a sexual assault case. Nationally, the Senate voted down a measure to reopen the Department of Homeland Security amid a partial government shutdown, and the Senate overwhelmingly passed a bipartisan housing affordability bill that faces uncertainty in the House as Trump urges prioritizing the SAVE Act. Finally, Sid expands on Trump administration attacks on media coverage of the war in Iran, including FCC-related license threats, invoking his conversation yesterday with Sen. Ron Johnson defending First Amendment principles. Alex Traiman, Gordon Chang, Jim Walden, Miranda Devine, Rich Lowry & Scott LoBaido join Sid on this hump day installment of Sid & Friends in the Morning. Learn more about your ad choices.

CEO of Jewish News Syndicate Alex Traiman calls in live from Israel to describe Israel under sustained attack, with Iran firing ballistic missiles multiple times a day, including cluster munitions aimed at civilian population centers, alongside rocket fire from Hezbollah; he recounts repeated trips to shelters in Jerusalem, with heavier bombardment in Tel Aviv and Haifa. He explains Israel’s alert and missile-defense systems, schools moving to Zoom for 19 days, and daily life continuing despite sirens. Traiman argues most Israelis accept short-term hardship to decisively neutralize Iran’s threat, especially its nuclear ambitions, and to enable long-term regional peace.

Editor-In-Chief of National Review Rich Lowry joins Sid for his weekly Wednesday morning appearance to talk about the World Baseball Classic, agreeing it is contrived compared with the Olympics. The conversation shifts to New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s St. Patrick’s Day remarks, criticized for bringing up Gaza/Palestine and calling Israelis genocidal; Sid and Rich then address Joe Kent’s resignation and claim of “no imminent threat,” arguing threats should be confronted before becoming imminent and criticizing isolationists they say are hostile to Israel and falsely claim Trump was tricked into war, while noting most MAGA Republicans back Trump due to opposition to Iran and preventing a nuclear threat. Finally, they debate the SAVE Act and voter ID, with Lowry supporting citizenship verification but warning against eliminating the filibuster given likely lack of votes and potential future Democratic actions, and they criticize Republican opposition, especially Lisa Murkowski.

Author & Geopolitics Expert Gordon Chang joins Sid to discuss the Iran conflict and rising oil prices are financially benefiting Russia and could tilt the Russia-Ukraine war of attrition in Moscow’s favor, despite Chang saying Ukraine currently has battlefield initiative. Chang argues the U.S. should seize Russian “dark ships” and stop Iranian oil transits through the Strait of Hormuz to cut funding for Russia and Iran. He says the conflicts are interconnected in a broader global struggle against Russia, China, Iran, and North Korea, and claims China is aiding Iran with intelligence and weapons, making it inappropriate for President Trump to visit Beijing, a trip Trump postponed. Chang supports Trump’s actions against Iran, citing Iran’s enriched uranium and missile capabilities, and disputes outgoing counterterrorism director Joe Kent’s claim of no imminent threat.

Attorney Jim Walden joins Sid to discuss his investigative work claiming Mayor Mamdani and his wife misrepresented their association with a children’s book co-author accused of antisemitic remarks. Walden asks Sid about “Cockroach Gate”; Sid says he’d still apologize but feels no vindication because major Democrats and media outlets won’t cover the newer information. They discuss how long President Trump will tolerate the mayor’s criticisms while the mayor seeks federal housing money, and Sid argues the mayor’s alienation of religious groups won’t matter to supporters until financial consequences hit. Walden then details his representation of Councilwoman Vicki Paladino in a lawsuit against the City Council for allegedly singling out her speech, seeking an injunction, and announces subpoenas of Progressive Caucus members for an April 7 hearing, adding some Democrats may testify for Paladino.

On this Tuesday edition of Sid & Friends in the Morning, Sid recognizes the 265th New York City St. Patrick’s Day Parade on Fifth Avenue coming up later this morning, including the route, street closures, expected leaders , and new Archbishop Ronald Hicks watching from St. Patrick’s Cathedral. Sid details Mayor Mamdani confirming his attendance at the parade, before he seconds Aliza Licht and her accusing Mamdani of of lying about his wife’s relationship with an anti-Semitic illustrator, outlining a timeline linking his family to the Jew-hating artist. Sid then reacts to the House-passed Save America Act requiring proof of citizenship and photo ID for federal voting amid concerns about access and Senate filibuster hurdles; updates on the war with Iran, including strikes in Tehran, casualties, Strait of Hormuz blockade issues, and conflicting ceasefire claims. Bill Donahue, Bo Dietl, Kaylie Ray, Peter King & Victoria Coates join Sid on this special St. Patrick's Day installment of Sid & Friends in the Morning. Learn more about your ad choices.

Former Utah State Volleyball star Kaylie Ray calls in to discuss her testimony in the Arizona Senate Education Committee supporting bill HCR 2003. Ray says the bill would create three sports categories, allow optional co-ed teams, and protect women-only private spaces such as locker rooms and bathrooms. She criticizes State Senator Catherine Miranda’s comments during the hearing and argues that allowing men into women’s sports and spaces eliminates women’s sports and raises safety concerns. Ray says she has received strong public support but little coverage from Arizona media, and she describes her connection with Riley Gaines, who advised her in the past when her Utah State team forfeited against San Jose State over a biological male player.

Former Congressman Peter King joins the program on this St. Patrick's Day to describe his role during the Clinton era in advancing peace in Northern Ireland, outlining historical discrimination against Catholics and the violence from 1969 onward. He says President Bill Clinton, along with Tony Blair and Irish Prime Minister Bertie Ahern, helped drive negotiations that led to the 1998 Good Friday Agreement, with King sometimes acting as an unofficial emissary after setbacks, and he notes New York’s St. Patrick’s Day events and Cardinal O’Connor’s public gestures aided awareness. King contrasts Northern Ireland’s compromise and leaders willing to accept partial gains with the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, criticizing Arafat’s failure to deliver. He condemns the Irish government’s pro-Palestinian stance, calling it a European elite trend, and argues U.S. interests align with supporting Israel. Learn more about your ad choices.

Former Deputy National Security Advisor Victoria Coates joins Sid to discuss the Iran conflict, where Coates argues timeline ambiguity is useful and says U.S. objectives center on disabling nuclear sites and addressing highly enriched uranium, while noting potential continued engagement if the Strait of Hormuz remains blocked. She emphasizes a second, economic front as Iran shuts down the internet, banks, and markets, predicting severe capital flight when restrictions lift. Coates contrasts Japan’s constitutional limits and growing defense posture with what she calls Europe’s disgraceful lack of naval capability and will, criticizing UK leader Keir Starmer’s behavior and forecasting political upheaval. She also expects Trump’s China trip to be postponed due to war and China’s dependence on Gulf energy. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

President of the Catholic League Bill Donahue joins Sid for his annual St. Patrick's Day appearance to talk about why he no longer marches in New York’s St. Patrick’s Day parade: after defending the parade’s rules against political banners, parade leaders in 2014 allowed gay groups to march under their own banner but, he says, continued to deny pro-life groups, which he calls a double-cross by parade “elites.” He adds disappointment that Ireland has become de-Christianized, far left, and supportive of recognizing a Palestinian state.
