Summary

K.T. McFarland, former Deputy National Security Advisor, joins Sid for her weekly Friday morning hit to discuss her experiences and insights on attending the annual CPAC retreat at Mar-a-Lago, highlighting CPAC's impact on President Reagan and President Trump. She discusses the global influence of CPAC's conservative movement and the roles of other political figures like Tulsi Gabbard and Kristi Noem. McFarland predicts a challenging future for New York City under its current leadership, drawing parallels with the economic crises of the 1970s and speculating about a potential conservative resurgence in the 2026 gubernatorial election. She underscores the importance of economic turnaround for the Republican Party's success in upcoming elections and closes with lighthearted remarks about her travel plans and the Palm Beach Airport.
