## Resource

On this Monday edition of Sid & Friends in the Morning, Sid breaks down a visibly agitated President Trump storming off his interview with NBC News’ “Meet the Press” after a testy exchange with reporter Kristen Welker who grilled him over his claims that the 2020 election was stolen from him. In other news of the day, New York Democrats recently passed a bill that would remove the words "mother" and "father" from parts of state law - sending the legislation to Gov. Kathy Hochul’s desk for final approval, election results in California's primaries are still being counted as Spencer Pratt loses ground in the Los Angeles mayoral race while billionaire businessman Tom Steyer - a Democrat - still lags behind British-born Republican political strategist Steve Hilton in the race to replace Gov. Gavin Newsom, President Trump said Israel’s prime minister would be forced to play ball with Iran after the Islamic Republic launched a missile attack on the Jewish State Sunday — and insisted that he is still the one who “calls the shots,” and the plans for tonight's Knicks watch party at MSG for Game 3 of the NBA Finals have been doused amid amped-up security with President Trump due in the house. Alex Traiman, Craig Carton, Joe Pags, Joe Tacopina, John Catsimatidis & Stephen A. Smith join Sid on this Monday installment of Sid & Friends in the Morning. Learn more about your ad choices.
