Happy Friday from everyone on the Bernie & Sid in the Morning team. This morning, the guys dove into the guilty verdict handed to Jussie Smollett in his trial for making up the story of his attack in 2019. Bernie & Sid go back in time and remember all of those in the media and in politics who came rushing to Smollett's defense at the time but now have suddenly fallen silent while the "Empire" actor goes from victim to villain. In other news of the day, Fox News has erected a new Christmas tree outside it's studios after the original was burnt down by a career criminal a couple of days ago, Letitia James drops out of the New York Gubernatorial race, golf company Titleist won't allow customers to customize their golf balls with the "Let's Go Brandon" slogan but will allow "F Trump," "All Cops Are Bastards," and other left wing mantras to be pasted on their customizable balls, NYC Mayor-elect Eric Adams makes a good choice for his School's Chancellor, Biden gaffes yet again, and the great, late Frank Sinatra's birthday is coming up this Sunday the 12th of December. Famed Chef David Burke joins Bernie & Sid to talk about his new restaurant opening up in New Jersey, and Nassau County Executive Laura Curran hops on the program to discuss her recent election loss to Bruce Blakeman and what she plans to do with her career once she leaves office. As always, you don't want to miss the Friday installments of Lidia Reports and The Peerless Boilers Beat Bernie Contest.
