Summary

Curtis Sliwa, Republican candidate for Mayor of New York City, joins Sid live in-studio to talk about his past disco-dancing days, before he slams political opponents like Eric Adams, Zohran Mamdani, and Andrew Cuomo, and lays out his pro-business, anti-congestion pricing, and tax-slashing agenda for NYC. He criticizes Adams for cozying up to anti-Israel voices and praises support from Mark Levin, Larry Kudlow, and even The New York Times. Curtis defends his iconic red beret but reveals he'll go without it for high-profile events—like a power breakfast in the Hamptons with billionaires—if it helps his campaign. He also highlights his “Protect the Animals” platform and vows to keep Staten Island from falling to progressive candidates. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
