Summary

On this Thursday edition of Sid & Friends in the Morning, Sid covers Republican nominee for Mayor of New York City Curtis Sliwa's blow-up on the morning show yesterday, following pressure from his former boss and colleagues to exit the race in favor of Andrew Cuomo, aiming to prevent Zohran Mamdani from winning. Sliwa argues that billionaires allegedly offered him bribes to drop out, now saying he requires armed security for his protection. Sid then details the ensuing second and final NYC Mayoral Debate that took place last night, which was fierce, with all three candidates addressing issues from crime to tax policy. Andrew Cuomo, Bill O'Reilly, Brian Kilmeade, Suzanne Miller & Tom Homan join Sid on this Friday-eve installment of Sid & Friends in the Morning. Learn more about your ad choices.
