Sid & Friends In The Morning
Aug 31, 2026 · 2h 21m
Summary
Jake Novak, Michael Cohen, and John Catsimatidis discuss the backlash against Natalie Harp, attributing it to internal White House leaks rather than legitimate criticism. They debate the feasibility of living to 120 through genetic advances and criticize Democratic policies on immigration and redistricting. Congressman Peter King joins to defend ICE cooperation with local police in New York, contrasting it with Governor Hochul’s restrictive laws. The hosts also touch on Dolly Parton’s passing and the deportation of Milo Yiannopoulos.
