J.D. Vance Shows His True Colors | 07-16-26

On this Thursday edition of Sid & Friends in the Morning, Sid covers Vice President J.D. Vance saying some members of the Israeli government had tried to influence U.S. public opinion to oppose a U.S. deal to end the war with Iran, in a podcast episode with host Joe Rogan posted yesterday. In other news of the day, Todd Blanche - President Trump's pick for attorney general - faced tough questioning from Democrats and some Republicans during his confirmation hearing on Capitol Hill, Jay Clayton assured senators that if he's confirmed as director of national intelligence then he'll be "mission-focused and team-oriented" in his approach and will work to strengthen coordination between the intelligence community and the American public, the battle over whether to ban horse-drawn carriages in New York City made its return to City Hall as legislators are considering whether to advance the latest proposal -- renamed in the wake of a tourist's freak Central Park death last month -- to the full City Council, and Argentina's Enzo Fernandez and Lautaro Martinez struck late goals to snatch a 2-1 win over England in the World Cup semi-final to send Lionel Messi's reigning champions into the weekend showpiece match against Spain. Bill O'Reilly, John McLaughlin, Lara Trump, Mike Lawler & Rich Lowry join Sid on this Friday-eve installment of Sid & Friends in the Morning.
