Bernie And Sid

Curtis Sliwa, Republican candidate running for Mayor of New York City, hops on the program live in-studio with Sid to talk about his mayoral campaign and the shifting dynamics of the Jewish vote in New York City. He criticizes rivals Andrew Cuomo, Eric Adams, and especially Zohran Mamdani for their inconsistent or hostile stances toward the Jewish community and Israel. Sliwa emphasizes his outreach efforts to all Jewish communities and reveals that former Assemblyman Dov Hikind has endorsed his campaign after meeting with his Gen Z and millennial team. The conversation highlights frustration with Jewish voters supporting candidates perceived as anti-Israel, and includes calls for Adams to denounce Louis Farrakhan. Sliwa argues that he is the only candidate gaining momentum, especially in areas like Queens and Staten Island, and stresses his opposition to congestion pricing — setting himself apart from the rest of the field.
