Summary

Curtis Sliwa, Republican running for Mayor of New York City, joins Sid live in-studio to talk about his surging mayoral campaign, criticizing Mayor Eric Adams for his declining approval ratings, legal troubles, and tone-deaf social media presence. Sliwa slams Adams’ fascination with controversial figures like Ugandan dictator Idi Amin and calls out both Adams and Andrew Cuomo for proposing unrealistic “free” transit policies that burden taxpayers. He also mocks Cuomo’s political flip-flopping and attempts to cozy up to Trump, arguing it has alienated Democratic voters. Sliwa claims Adams has lost core support in the Black community and declares that both Adams and Cuomo are politically “dead,” leaving the race a clear showdown between himself and progressive rival Zohran Mamdani.
