## Resource

On this Tuesday edition of Sid & Friends in the Morning, Sid recaps Belgium's national team beating Team USA in last night's 2026 World Cup knockout round of 16 match, marking a meek ending to a monthlong surge for the U.S., as Belgium dominated the Americans -- and silenced a once-raucous crowd at Lumen Field -- in last night's 4-1 defeat. In other news of the day, the family of Charlie Kirk and his widow Erika came face-to-face in court for the first time with the US conservative activist's alleged killer - Tyler Robinson - as prosecutors in Utah laid out their evidence for the murder case against Robinson yesterday, a recent poll shows Bruce Blakeman - the Nassau County executive - trailing incumbent Kathy Hochul by just 6 points in the governor’s race, President Trump arrived at the Turkey-held NATO summit with fresh frustration toward several European allies over their responses to the U.S.-led operations against Iran, and The View co-host Sunny Hostin repeated her assertion from 2021 that she feels uncomfortable or unsafe while visiting neighborhoods where homes are flying the American flag. Bill White, Bo Dietl, Bruce Blakeman, Donna Rotunno & Keith Sonderling join Sid on this Tuesday installment of Sid & Friends in the Morning. Learn more about your ad choices.
