So the Green Dauphin Diner, I've actually eaten there, it's on Main Street in Huntington, Long Island. And it's owned by a guy named Peter Sidiya, a Greek guy. And he displayed Israeli flags at his diner for them in support of Israel. So that prompted a big controversy, all right? he lost some business and three out of his 13 person staff quit over it I'm going to myself okay I understand private business getting into politics sometimes that's not a good thing but I kind of respect Peter because this Hamas thing is so horrific it's so deadly to human beings and to the nation's spirit, because we were attacked on 9-11, same thing, no difference,

and that we supported our country by hoisting the American flag after 9-11, right? So I don't know if Peter did anything wrong. I don't think he did. It's his business, and I think he's on the side of the angels here. So I'm going to go have another meal at the Golden Dolphin. And I don't know when, but I'll get there soon. And I wanted to let you know that if you're in the Huntington area, it's a good diner. You know, I like the old-fashioned French toast side of corned beef hash. That's a hearty breakfast. And they're not gouging you in there as far as prices are concerned.

And, you know, you might, you know, ask for Peter, talk it over with him, see how he's doing. I do understand that after WABC mentioned the story, a lot of people went in. So while his business suffered right after he put the flags up, now it's recovering. And that a lot of Jewish Long Islanders are going out there to, they can't eat at non-coher places, but they're going out there and, you know, not every Jew is kosher to lend support or whatever. So this is one of those times where you can make a stand on something, right? It's a little thing, I guess, a diner in Huntington being on the right side of a very vital issue and paying a price for that.

but then the good folks rally to the cause. That's how I see it. I'm a pretty black and white simple guy. So that's where I am. I'm going to go out and see Peter and have some old-fashioned French toast. A lot of you are still talking about the show that we did. Sid Rosenberg and I last Friday at Huntington Theater, ironically, right down the street from the diner. on Bill O'Reilly.com, if you are a premium or concierge member, and I hope you will consider that,

it will enhance your life. We have posted a nice portion of that show, as you can see it. We're not going to put the whole thing out because we may do other shows, and there are a bunch of commercial activities that we have to take into account. But if you want to get a flavor for it, because I know a lot of people wanted to see it, but they couldn't for one reason or another. We did run a 90-second clip on Monday, but we have a little bit more posted on bill O'Reilly.com. You might want to go there and look at that.
