The conversation shifts to crime, where Kelly argues that post–George Floyd policies, fueled by BLM, have endangered American cities by weakening law enforcement and bail standards. She advocates a return to tough-on-crime approaches, praises Trump’s efforts to send federal help to cities, and criticizes Democratic governors for refusing assistance out of partisan hatred. The interview closes with promotion of her tour stop in White Plains, NY, this November. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

New York Post Columnist Michael Goodwin calls into the program to talk about the turbulent NYC mayoral race and the impact of Donald Trump’s involvement. Goodwin noted that Mayor Eric Adams, though personally likable, has become politically irrelevant as his poll numbers sink, leaving Zohran Mamdani with a widening lead over rivals including Cuomo and Curtis Sliwa. Trump, in his own interview with Sid this morning, dismissed Adams, expressed skepticism about Sliwa, and viewed Cuomo as the only candidate with a realistic shot at challenging Mamdani one-on-one—though Cuomo has stagnated as well. Goodwin and host Sid Rosenberg discussed the likelihood that none of the major candidates will drop out, which may secure Mamdani’s path to victory, while warning about the dangers of his agenda for New York. The interview also touches on Israel’s strike against Hamas leaders in Qatar, the 9/11 anniversary, and broader concerns about the rise of anti-Israel sentiment. Learn more about your ad choices.

He criticizes other candidates for attacking one another instead of exposing Mamdani’s record, urging financial and public support for efforts like his NYC ABM (Anyone But Mamdani) campaign. Dietl also ties the issue to broader national and international concerns, drawing parallels to rising socialism, the threat of crime, and support for Israel after October 7. He closes by calling on New Yorkers to fight for their city rather than flee, insisting that Curtis Sliwa—despite critics—offers incorruptible leadership focused on public safety.
