Summary

Sid Rosenberg speaks with former NY Assemblyman Dov Hikind about the escalating crisis in Gaza. They discuss the disturbing hostage videos released by Hamas, the group’s extreme demands, and the difficult decisions facing Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Hikind stresses the need for Israel to act decisively, while both criticize international pressure and misinformation that unfairly targets Israel despite its efforts to provide humanitarian aid. The conversation shifts to New York City politics, where Sid and Hikind express alarm over the rising popularity of a controversial mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani, urging Republicans and moderates to rally behind Curtis Sliwa or another viable option to prevent what he sees as a disastrous outcome for the city.
