Summary
First, Sliwa walks us through his top priorities if he's elected mayor and how he would get things done with a city council that would not be very enthusiastic about his policies.
Next, Sliwa takes on his three rivals for the job: Zohran Mamdani, Andrew Cuomo, and current Mayor Eric Adams. Sliwa explains why each of them is unworthy of the job and why the city would decline if any of them are elected.
Finally, Sliwa tells us how he plans to defy the current polls, expose the failures and terrible plans of his opponents, and motivate a special coalition of voters to help him get elected.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the three martini lunch. |
| 0:05.1 | Grab a stool next to Greg Carumbus of Radio America and Jim Garrity of National Review. |
| 0:10.5 | Three martini's coming up. |
| 0:13.4 | So glad to you're with us for this very special Friday edition of the three martini lunch. |
| 0:19.2 | And Jim, it is very rare, as our longtime listeners know, for us to have a guest on the three martini lunch. I believe we've had seven in the past. And today will be our eighth in just a moment. We're going to be joined by Curtis Sliwa, the Republican nominee for mayor in New York City. We've been talking about this race a lot. |
| 0:42.2 | Zoran Mamdani seems to have the lead in the polls with Cuomo a distant second. Sliwa right behind him and Eric Adams bordering on irrelevancy at this point, even though he's the incumbent |
| 0:47.1 | mayor. So a lot to talk about a lot on the line for New York City. And it's never, it's |
| 0:52.4 | never boring at all when you talk to Curtis Lila. |
| 0:55.6 | You know, to be a guest on this podcast, you need to be very well known. |
| 1:00.2 | You need to be accomplished. |

So, yeah. So seven. And now you can add Curtis Sliwa. We've had great interviews in in part because we're so selective. But this one, |
| 1:29.0 | this one ranks among them as maybe one of the funniest. People are going to enjoy listening to |
| 1:33.1 | this. Yeah, no doubt about it. Well, you are going to love the interview. We'll bring it to you in |
| 1:38.4 | just a second here, but you also need a great night's sleep. And that's where bowl and branch sheets |
| 1:43.6 | come in. And when it comes to |
| 1:46.2 | comfort, when it comes to not sleeping hot, Mrs. Carumbus hates to sleep hot. And so she loves |
| 1:52.6 | these cooling sheets from bowl and branch. We've got them for what, like a week and a half now. |
| 1:59.3 | Love the deep pockets. They stay on the bed, unlike some other |
| 2:02.6 | sheets that we have. The pillowcases are great, and they're just very comfortable. But best of all, |
