Defense Attorney Joe Tacopina joins the show for his weekly Friday morning appearance to talk about the New York mayoral race and Manhattan DA contest. Tacopina reflects on Jim Walden’s exit from the race, praising his qualifications but recognizing Curtis Sliwa as the candidate gaining real momentum. He criticizes Alvin Bragg for abandoning common-sense prosecution and praises Maud Maron for her strong plan to restore accountability and public safety, including repealing bail reform and Bragg’s “day one memo.” He also discusses the lack of mandatory debates, which allows incumbents like Bragg to avoid scrutiny. The conversation then shifts to sports scandals, where Tacopina bluntly asserts that Shohei Ohtani did bet on baseball and criticizes MLB for protecting its stars. Finally, Tacopina shares a lighthearted story about having lunch with Alex Rodriguez, praising his career, ownership role with the Timberwolves, and making the case that A-Rod deserves to be in the Hall of Fame.

Curtis Sliwa, Republican running for Mayor of New York City, joins Sid live in-studio to shut down rumors that he’s dropping out of the mayoral race or being offered a job by Donald Trump. He insists he’s the only true Republican candidate, highlighting his grassroots campaigning across the outer boroughs, record fundraising, and strong support from everyday New Yorkers. Sliwa blasts Andrew Cuomo, Eric Adams, and socialist challenger Zohran Mamdani as corrupt, weak, or out of touch, while positioning himself as the fighter for working-class people, law and order, and tax cuts. He outlines plans to end congestion pricing, remove speed cameras, oppose sanctuary city policies, and crack down on crime. He also touts his growing team, endorsements, and backing from both Democrats who dislike Cuomo and Republicans energized by his candidacy. Confident and combative, Sliwa pledges he cannot be bullied out of the race and vows to take back New York City in 2026. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
