Bernie And Sid

Ed Cox, State GOP Chairman, reflects on Rudy Giuliani’s controversial endorsement of Democrat Mario Cuomo years ago, defending his own role in lending Giuliani a plane at the time, shifting to the rise of progressive political energy in New York, tracing it back to Bernie Sanders’ 2016 campaign and the emergence of figures like AOC and Zohran Mamdani. Cox discusses how Mamdani has built strong grassroots support, particularly within the Muslim and Bangladeshi communities. Despite criticism for being anti-police, he was respectfully received at the funeral for the Muslim NYPD officer who was murdered in the midtown shooting earlier this week. Cox also dives into international politics, highlighting comments from the Israeli Consul General about Hamas stealing food aid in Gaza and Qatar’s financial involvement with Hamas, allegedly with Mossad’s cooperation.
