‘If you were Prime Minister, genuinely trying to sort this out, you would not have allowed the Treasury to put out the quote that they did.'Former Defence Secretary Dame Penny Mordaunt criticises Keir Starmer for not ‘battling' the Labour backbenchers, warning that the next person to take the role of Defence Secretary needs to secure guarantees for the future budget and NATO's requirements.Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has issued a public rebuke to John Healey following his shock resignation as Defence Secretary. Healey stepped down after a disagreement over the UK's military investment strategy, warning that current funding models leave the nation exposed. Starmer responded by asserting that the current increases in defence spending remain sustainable and fair. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The resignation of Britain's Defence Secretary has thrown high-level talks with Australia into disarray and reignited debate about the future of the AUKUS submarine pact. John Healey quit after accusing Prime Minister Keir Starmer's government of failing to adequately fund defence, forcing the cancellation of a planned appearance with Australian Defence Minister Richard Marles. The political fallout is now being felt on both sides of the world, with critics questioning the stability of one of Australia's most ambitious defence projects.Listen to Australian and world news and follow trending topics with SBS News Podcasts.TRANSCRIPT“At six a dramatic and unexpected resignation by the defence secretary John Healey... “The shock resignation of John Healy has exposed deep divisions within the British government over defence spending.Mr Healey quit after a dispute with Prime Minister Keir Starmer over military funding, warning Britain was failing to invest enough in its armed forces at a time of growing global threats.Just hours earlier, he had been photographed jogging with Australian Defence Minister Richard Marles ahead of a planned visit to Portsmouth Naval Base.That event was later cancelled after Mr Healey's resignation.The now former Defence Secretary had been publicly defending AUKUS and Britain's commitment to the submarine partnership.“I'm not going to comment on figures - the Prime Minister knows what defence and the nation needs.” The resignation has triggered a political storm in London.Opposition Leader Kemi Badenoch says Sir Keir Starmer's government is unraveling.“Keir Starmer's premiership is falling apart, his health secretary resigned two weeks ago, his defence secretary resigned at a critical time when we are facing global threats and he is doing so because the  prime minister is trying to please his back benchers by putting money into welfare instead of defence”. The developments have also intensified scrutiny of AUKUS in Australia.Peter Garrett, who is chairing a public inquiry into the submarine pact, says the timing of the resignation highlights why the project needs closer examination.“The reason we need to have the enquiry now is there has never been a public debate or even a parliamentary debate about the biggest amount of money that Australian will ever spend in its defence history, at least up to now and the fact that Mr Marles' counterpart has disappeared overnight - I mean it's a bit of a symbol really” Mr Garrett says Australia should make its own assessment of whether the deal is in the national interest.“I think our credibility is only enhanced if we apply  our own thinking as an independent sovereign nation as to what's in our best national interest, and that's the question that we're asking about AUKUS is it ultimately in our best national interest? And other nations will respect that, if we come to that view.”    The Greens have also seized on the developments.Senator David Shoebridge says Richard Marles has been left politically exposed by turmoil among Australia's AUKUS partners.“Defence minister Marles seems committed to a process of ritual global humiliation as he does a world tour of AUKUS.  Richard Marles went to Singapore and came back with 3 second hand submarines.  He then travels off to the UK for AUKUS and is met by the resignation of the UK defence minister, literally been left standing at the altar with not a nuclear sub to be seen.  You can't make this stuff up.”       The federal government has rejected suggestions the resignation will affect the submarine deal.Cabinet minister Tim Ayres says AUKUS has deep support across Australia, the United Kingdom and the United States and will continue regardless of changes in personnel.

Can Trump and Xi’s new ‘constructive’ framework bring stability to the US-China dynamic? Synopsis: The Straits Times’ senior columnist Ravi Velloor distils 45 years of experience covering the Asian continent, with expert guests. In this episode, host Ravi Velloor speaks with Wang Xiangwei, the eminent Hongkong-based China scholar and former editor-in-chief of South China Morning Post. Wang, who is soon heading to the Harvard Kennedy School of Government as a Senior Visiting Fellow, offers a Chinese perspective on the changing dynamics of the US-China relationship, with Beijing now treated as a near-peer by Washington, and increasingly able to set the agenda. US President Donald Trump, he says, is the most China-friendly person in his Cabinet and the days when even Chinese garlic was treated as a national security risk are long over. In an odd way, China does not wish to see the US retrench from Asia entirely.

Dans cet épisode du podcast "Comment j'ai réussi ?", Stéphane Pedrazzi reçoit François de Laâge de Meux, président du directoire du cabinet d'avocats FIDAL, spécialisé dans le droit des affaires. Il lève le voile sur les enjeux de la transmission d'entreprises familiales. Avec 1200 avocats répartis sur près de 100 sites en France, FIDAL est un acteur majeur du conseil juridique aux entreprises.Alors que l'économie ralentit, l'invité explique comment l'activité de son cabinet reste soutenue, notamment grâce à la demande croissante de conseils en droit social, contentieux et restructuration. Il souligne l'importance cruciale de l'accompagnement des chefs d'entreprises familiaux dans les projets de transmission, un enjeu de taille avec le départ en retraite de la génération du baby-boom. Le pacte Dutreil, un régime fiscal protégeant la transmission d'entreprises familiales, est au cœur des préoccupations. François de Laâge de Meux plaide pour son maintien, y voyant un enjeu de souveraineté économique face aux rachats par des groupes étrangers. Il partage les principales interrogations des entrepreneurs sur les aspects techniques et fiscaux de la transmission.L'impact de l'intelligence artificielle sur la profession d'avocat est également abordé. Si les clients arrivent désormais mieux préparés grâce à l'IA, il rassure les étudiants en droit : l'IA est davantage un outil d'amélioration de la productivité et du développement commercial qu'une menace pour la profession. Enfin, le président du directoire de FIDAL donne son point de vue sur les moyens alloués à la justice, un sujet d'actualité brûlant, soulignant la nécessité d'une réflexion globale sur l'efficacité de l'État.Hébergé par Audiomeans.

President Trump is likely not pleased at having to relive a booing crowd over and over again as the video replays today. He attended Game 3 of the NBA Finals at Madison Square Garden last night and became the first sitting U.S. president at an NBA Finals game. When the arena showed him on the jumbo screens during the national anthem as he gave a military salute, he was met with loud boos from the crowd; the jeers subsided when the U.S. flag appeared and fans cheered the Knicks. Trump watched from Knicks owner James Dolan's suite with guests including his granddaughter Kai, adviser Boris Epshteyn, and several Cabinet officials. His visit prompted heavy Secret Service and NYPD security, perimeter fencing, TSA-style screenings and an early-arrival recommendation for fansr. The outside watch party had to be moved and those fans also joined in the booing of Trump. After the game, Trump said the reaction was “mostly cheers.”We will discuss the fan reaction and whether it's a trivial moment at a sporting event or whether it may be tied deeper to growing discontent with Trump‘s job performance.Pulitzer Prize winning author and investigative journalist  David Cay Johnston will join the conversation to talk about  what late night host Jimmy Kimmel called the“Trumper Tantrum” over the weekend on NBC's Meet the Press and what appears to be a Trump‘s midterm election strategy… he's back to accusing states of rigging elections.Coachella Valley Coffee Roast Master Cliff Young will stop through to let us know what he's been up to and to bring us word of new additions, and perhap special deals on the very best coffees and teas. The Mark Thompson Show 6/9/26Patreon subscribers are the backbone of the show!

The Government is set to bring forward Jennie's Law this week, legislation that would establish a public register of people convicted of serious domestic violence offences. Named in memory of Jennifer Poole, the law is designed to help people make safer decisions in relationships by allowing access to information about past convictions. However, it also raises important questions around privacy, victim safety, and how effectively such measures can prevent domestic abuse. To discuss the potential impact of the proposed legislation, Alan Morrissey joined by Siobhán O'Connor, Director of Services with Clare Haven. Photo (c) Collins via The Irish Independent

Dans cet épisode du podcast "Comment j'ai réussi ?", Charles Bonnaire reçoit Véronique Bougardier, présidente du cabinet Bougardier, spécialisé dans le courtage de recherche de financement, nous éclaire sur le crédit hypothécaire, un outil méconnu mais pourtant précieux pour de nombreux propriétaires immobiliers.L'invitée nous explique que le crédit hypothécaire n'est pas uniquement réservé aux très gros patrimoines. Il peut également être une solution pour des propriétaires plus modestes qui ont besoin de liquidités, par exemple pour payer des droits de succession ou compléter le financement d'un investissement professionnel. Contrairement aux idées reçues, le crédit hypothécaire n'est pas forcément synonyme de dette. Il peut en effet permettre de ne rembourser que les intérêts, le capital étant remboursé à la revente du bien immobilier.Malgré ces avantages, le crédit hypothécaire reste encore peu connu du grand public, souvent associé à un "gros mot". Elle déplore ce manque de connaissance et souligne que ce type de financement ne comporte pas plus de risques qu'un crédit classique, la banque vérifiant toujours la capacité de remboursement de l'emprunteur.Un point intéressant soulevé dans cet épisode est l'évolution récente du marché du crédit hypothécaire. Avec la hausse des taux d'intérêt, elle constate que de plus en plus de parents font appel à ce type de financement pour aider leurs enfants à acquérir un bien immobilier. Le crédit hypothécaire permet en effet de débloquer des liquidités rapidement, sans avoir à vendre un bien.Enfin, la dirigeante du cabinet Bougardier observe que la nature des demandes de crédit hypothécaire a quelque peu évolué ces derniers temps. Si les achats de plaisir comme les voitures de collection ont un peu diminué, les demandes liées à l'immobilier, notamment pour l'achat d'un deuxième bien, sont en revanche en hausse.Hébergé par Audiomeans.

After years of talking about it, we are finally discussing perhaps the most influential film of all time: The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari! We talk about the historical context of the Weimar Republic, the aspects of expressionism seen on screen, whether this movie trusts authority, face acting, action figures, and more! I Love This You Should Too is hosted by Samantha & Indy Randhawa The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ky32ti4M9Ls The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari is a 1920 German silent horror film directed by Robert Wiene and written by Hans Janowitz and Carl Mayer. The quintessential work of early German Expressionist cinema, it tells the story of a hypnotist (Werner Krauss) who uses a somnambulist Cesare (Conrad Veidt) to commit murders. The film features a dark, twisted visual style, with sharp-pointed forms; oblique, curving lines; structures and landscapes that lean and twist in unusual angles; and shadows and streaks of light painted directly onto the sets. The set design is "anti-realistic, claustrophobic" and "harsh" which is "coupled with feverish anxiety [that] entered the vocabulary of filmmakers and film viewers" particularly during the Weimar Republic, when this film was made.

On today's show, we dive into the cost structure of audio speakers. We start with an article that asks whether 'audiophile' speaker brands are milking you for $20,000. We also read your emails and cover the week's news. News: Important update to your DIRECTV account SVS Auto EQ Room Correction for R|Evolution Subwoofers YouTube TV adds Fox One, Peacock to Primetime Channels store Other: Monoprice Alpha In-Wall Speaker There's never been a better time to grab a new Google TV launcher Are 'Audiophile' Speaker Brands Are Milking You for $20,000 The listeners keep delivering great ideas for show topics. This week Mike LaBorde sent in an article published at headphonesty.com entitled A Former FTC Economist Quit His Job to Prove 'Audiophile' Speaker Brands Are Milking You for $20,000.  The author talks about how a former FTC economist quit his job to design and build affordable high-performance speakers.  He argued that many premium audiophile brands are significantly overpriced because they use similar OEM drivers from the same factories while charging massive markups for branding, cabinets, and dealer margins. We'll break down this article into five points we felt were interesting. The full article is linked and you may want to read it for more details. Many premium audiophile speaker brands rely on the same small group of OEM driver manufacturers (like Sinar Baja/SB Acoustics, SEAS (Scandinavian Electro Acoustic Systems), Scan-Speak, etc.). The same factories and engineering talent supply drivers to both high-end and mainstream brands, even when the final speakers carry vastly different logos and price tags. "Custom" or "proprietary" drivers are often overstated. Most brands customize only the "soft parts" (cone, surround, voice coil) on top of standard off-the-shelf "hard parts" from OEM suppliers, rather than designing and building drivers entirely from scratch. Pricing of speakers — The actual cost of the drivers is a tiny fraction of the retail price. In the Wilson Audio Yvette example, the three drivers cost roughly $530–$580 total, representing only about 2% of the $25,000+ selling price. The vast majority of the cost comes from cabinetry, finish, dealer margins (40-50%), distribution, marketing, and brand prestige, with a typical 5x markup from manufacturing cost to retail. Only a few brands truly manufacture their own drivers in-house. Companies like Focal, KEF, Dynaudio, Paradigm, and Bowers & Wilkins are exceptions. Most premium brands outsource driver production due to the high cost and complexity of vertical integration. High performance doesn't require extreme prices. Former FTC economist Dennis Murphy's Philharmonic Audio proves this by offering well-engineered speakers (like the $850/pair Ceramic Mini using quality SB Acoustics drivers) with minimal overhead, direct sales, and no lavish dealer/showroom costs — challenging the idea that great sound must come with five-figure price tags. The article essentially argues that much of the ultra-premium speaker market is driven more by branding and distribution economics than by revolutionary driver technology. What is the Cost Breakdown of Thousand Dollar Speakers? After going through the previous article we wondered what the actual cost breakdown of Passive bookshelf speakers retailing at $1,000 per pair? ThinkKEF Q series, ELAC Debut Reference, or similar mid to high end consumer hi-fi brands. They balance good performance with accessible pricing.  What follows is our best estimation based on the data we uncovered. If you are in the industry and have better data, please let us know and we will update this analysis. Sources for this analysis include - Audio Science Review, AVS Forum, WhatHifi, headphonesty.com, hubhifi, and a few others.  1. Design & Development (R&D) – Upfront Investment Typical cost: $50,000–$250,000+ for a new model line. Includes acoustic modeling, driver selection/tuning, crossover design, enclosure simulation, multiple prototypes, listening tests, and anechoic chamber measurements. For this price tier, brands often use a mix of off-the-shelf and mildly customized drivers rather than fully bespoke high-end ones.   Amortization: Spread over production volume and for this exercise we used a production run of 5,000–20,000 pairs. This adds roughly $5–$25 per pair at a reasonable scale. 2. Prototyping & Tooling Prototypes: 5–15 iterations at $300–$1,200 each which include custom cabinets, driver samples, hand-assembled crossovers. Tooling: CNC molds/jigs for cabinets, baffle cutting, or vinyl wrap tooling: $8,000–$40,000 upfront. Amortized to $2–$10 per pair. 3. Bill of Materials (BOM) – The Biggest Per-Unit Cost For a typical 2-way passive bookshelf (6.5" woofer + 1" tweeter) at this price point: Drivers - $80–$180 - 6.5" coated paper woofer (~$30–$70 ea.), soft dome or aluminum tweeter (~$15–$50 ea.). Brands like SEAS, SB Acoustics, or custom OEM. Cabinet -  $60-$130, - Braced MDF (18–25mm), vinyl wrap or basic veneer, internal damping, port tube, terminals. Real wood veneer adds premium. Crossover - $30-$80 - 2nd/3rd order with air-core inductors, film capacitors, resistors. Higher quality parts (Mundorf-level) push toward the upper end. Other (grille, wiring, hardware, terminals) - $20-$50 - Magnetic grilles, internal wiring, binding posts. Total BOM per pair: $190–$440 at volume production (typically in China or Vietnam for most brands). Premium touches (better drivers, thicker bracing, nicer finishes) push BOM toward the higher end. 4. Manufacturing, Assembly & Overhead Labor & Assembly: $25–$60 per pair (cabinet gluing/bracing, driver mounting, crossover soldering, final wiring, testing). Quality Control & Testing: Burn-in, frequency sweeps, distortion checks: $10–$25. Factory Overhead/Utilities: $35 - $50. Total Manufacturing per pair: $70 - $135 5. Full Cost Structure to Retail ($1,000/pair) We will assume a large brand that sells 20,000 units and has already invested in tooling and requires minimal new tooling for each new speaker design.  Design and R&D Amortized - $5 Prototype and Tooling  - $2 Bill of Materials - $315 - We split the $190 - $440 down the middle Manufacturing -  $103 - We split the $40 - $135 down the middle Shipping, duties etc to distributor per pair on average - $50 Total to Manufacture $474. The rest of the thousand dollars covers the distribution chain, branding, and profit. And in reality, depending on the efficiency of the factory and ability to leverage design histories from years of experience, the soft costs can be about a third of $110 we came up with, bringing the total cost to about $400. Key Variables Affecting Cost Volume: Higher production = lower per-unit costs. Driver Quality: Exotic materials (beryllium tweeters, carbon fiber) can double driver costs. Cabinet Finish: Vinyl vs. real walnut veneer = big difference. Brand Positioning: Established names (KEF, ELAC) have higher R&D/marketing allocation than direct-to-consumer brands. For comparison DIY builders can replicate similar performance for $300–$600 per pair in parts using higher quality drivers and crossover components and flat-pack or self-built cabinets, eliminating most of the overhead and markups. And after building over 30 sets of speakers I can say without doubt that what you build will sound as good as speakers costing ten times the amount. Plus you can use material that works best for you as well as customizing the look to match your decor. Even my latest set built from stock off the shelf components bought from Part Express for about $200 sound simply amazing!

And if you tell someone about it, he'll strap you to a polygraph.   The DC Circuit seems likely to side with Senator Mark Kelly in his lawsuit against Pete Hegseth for trying to steal his pension.   The DOJ subpoenaed a hospital in Rhode Island for medical records of kids receiving gender affirming care. While the parties were negotiating, the DOJ filed a petition to enforce in Texas, which their hand-picked Judge Reed O'Connor instantly granted. Now the hospital has appealed to the Fifth Circuit (ughhh) and the Rhode Island Child Advocate has filed a motion to quash in the District of Rhode Island.   Our Doofus of the Day is Chief Justice John Roberts. It won't always be someone on the Supreme Court, but when you stand up in front of hundreds of lawyers to whine about how unfair it is that people think your obviously political Supreme Court is political, how could we resist?   MAIN SHOW:   The 11th Circuit has joined two other circuit courts of appeal in ruling that the Trump administration cannot use the mandatory detention provisions of the Immigration and Naturalization Act to hold any immigrant, anywhere in the US, for any length of time and with no opportunity for a bond hearing.   The DOJ is so desperate to hire lawyers that they're offering signing bonuses and tipping current employees with "retention incentive allowances" to keep them from fleeing. Turns out, competent lawyers don't like harassing trans kids for sport and indicting Democratic politicians on spurious grounds.   Judge Coleen McMahon ruled that DOGE illegally dismantled the National Endowment for the Humanities when the bros fed the grantee database into ChatGPT with an instruction to find grants were "DEI."   The Southern Poverty Law Center says the government's public lies about the case — lookin' at you, Todd Blanche — are so egregious that the court should hand over the grand jury transcript.   Judges in Rhode Island and Texas are dueling over the DOJ's subpoena for the medical record for transgender minors.   READING LIST: How Professional Wrestling Prepared Linda McMahon for Trump's Cabinet   Kash Patel's Personalized Bourbon Stash https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/2026/05/kash-patel-fbi-bourbon/687066/   Kash Patel ordered polygraphs of more than two dozen members of his team, sources tell MS NOW https://www.ms.now/news/kash-patel-ordered-polygraphs-of-more-than-two-dozen-members-of-his-team-sources-tell-ms-now   DOJ Offers Lawyers $25,000 Signing Bonuses as Hiring Lags https://news.bloomberglaw.com/us-law-week/doj-offers-lawyers-25-000-signing-bonuses-as-recruitment-lags   US.

On this Make A Difference Minute, I have Nona Adams, principal of Cedar Hill Elementary School in Ardmore, Alabama, sharing what it means to have a Connie's Cabinet on campus. Created in memory of Connie Ridgeway, Connie's Cabinet provides a way for families to receive help with dignity and without shame. Principal Adams explains that many families quietly struggle and often don't let others know about their needs. Having a place where food and household items are available allows children and families to receive support while preserving their privacy. She also shares her confidence in the Cedar Hill School community. Time and again, neighbors have come together during difficult moments. Through Connie's Cabinet, that same spirit of generosity can become an ongoing way of caring for one another, allowing donations from students, families, and community members to stay local and meet needs before they become crises. As Principal Adams says, this creates an opportunity for people to consistently help one another without waiting for tragedy to bring everyone together.

Episode 5420: The Senate Undermining President's Cabinet Appointments; Barbarity Of The CCP

It's Hump Day on The Majority Report On today's program: Progressive candidate Dr. Adam Hamawy wins the Democratic primary in New Jersey's deep-blue 12th congressional district in an otherwise muted primary day for leftist candidates. Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed gives a perfect response to an MS NOW reporter asking him what he would say to Jewish Americans who are anxious about his critiques of AIPAC and Israel. Ben Freeman, author and director of the Democratizing Foreign Policy program at the Quincy Institute, joins the show for a conversation about his piece in Responsible Statecraft on congress trying to quietly intertwine U.S. and Israeli militaries. Congress is voting on this tomorrow so call your Congresspeople to tell them to In the Fun Half: Fox News posts Wisconsin's DSA-backed candidate for Governor Francesca Hong's platform in attempt to fearmonger but it backfires because her platform is common sense and pro-worker. At a House Foreign Relations Committee hearing, Rep. Ted Lieu (D-CA) showcases just how big of a sycophant Marco Rubio is by playing videos of Trump falling asleep during Cabinet meetings, only for Rubio to flatly deny that the president is asleep in the footage. Dan Goldman gives a horrible performance in his debate against Brad Lander. Goldman tries to attack Lander on his record on Israel when the day before Goldman had marched alongside Israeli terrorist Bezalel Smotrich in the Israel Day Parade. George Santos is under investigation by the DOJ for insider trading in the least surprising news story in history. We continue our weeklong reflection upon Dave Rubin's surrounded. All that and more.

Long before modern museums, wealthy collectors filled rooms and cabinets with unusual objects gathered from around the world. This episode explores the history of cabinets of curiosities, the rare and sometimes baffling items they contained, and how these collections helped shape the way people studied nature, science, art, and the unknown. Along the way, you'll hear about exotic specimens, mechanical marvels, mythical creatures, and the collectors whose fascination with wonder turned private collections into the foundations of public museums. It's steady and consistent, with no whispering and no sudden changes, just enough to give your mind something to follow as you wind down. Happy sleeping!

Today's Headlines: A Delaware court ruled that companies can vote in municipal elections in the beach town of Fenwick Island — not just business owners, but the companies themselves as entities — and given that two-thirds of Fortune 500 companies are incorporated in Delaware, that's either a quirky local ordinance or the most efficient corporate takeover of democracy ever attempted. Joe Biden is suing the Trump administration to block the DOJ from releasing audio recordings of his conversations with his ghostwriter, which the DOJ is planning to drop on June 15th purely for the humiliation factor, since the investigation was closed and no charges were ever filed. Trump threatened Oman — the Gulf state that has been acting as the diplomatic channel between the US and Iran — during a Cabinet meeting, saying they'd better "behave or we'll blow em up." On the reflecting pool saga, a National Park Service analysis found that Trump's no-bid pool contractor — his favorite pool guy, does all his pools — submitted a contract with an $850,000 overcharge above the typical profit margin, and it turns out the contractor can't even seal the gaps between the  concrete slabs, which is a fairly foundational part of the job. California Governor Gavin Newsom announced he'll tax any Traitor Fund payouts to Californians at 100%, with a New York assemblyman proposing the same, which is the most satisfying thing to happen all week. New York state also passed a tax on luxury second homes valued at $5 million or more, expected to generate $500 million a year, and both New York and New Jersey AGs subpoenaed FIFA over alleged deceptive pricing practices for World Cup tickets at MetLife Stadium. A Google software engineer was charged with fraud and money laundering after making $1.2 million on Polymarket by betting on search trends using nonpublic Google data under the username AlphaRaccoon, which is somehow the most on-brand financial crime of 2026. And finally, the EU is actively screening travelers for Ebola as suspected cases in the Congo surpass 900.

On this Thursday edition of Sid & Friends in the Morning, Sid relishes in the opportunity to make fun of the clearly stupid Governor of New York State, Kathy Hochul, who tried to dunk on President Trump over his New York Knicks fandom — but ended up throwing up a brick instead in falsely claiming the Knicks last won a championship as recently as 1993. In other news of the day, New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani announced a new "block by block" initiative to tackle the city's affordable housing crisis while screwing over the city's landlords, President Trump convened the 12th Cabinet meeting of his second administration yesterday - covering topics ranging from the Iran war to his renovation efforts in D.C., and President Trump indicated yesterday that he plans to attend this year's NBA finals after the Knicks clinched their place in the championship series earlier this week. Bruce Blakeman, Craig Carton, Gregg Jarrett, Lee Zeldin, Scott LoBaido & Stella Escobedo join Sid on this Friday-eve installment of Sid & Friends in the Morning. Learn more about your ad choices.
