Attorney Jim Walden joins Sid to discuss his investigative work claiming Mayor Mamdani and his wife misrepresented their association with a children’s book co-author accused of antisemitic remarks. Walden asks Sid about “Cockroach Gate”; Sid says he’d still apologize but feels no vindication because major Democrats and media outlets won’t cover the newer information. They discuss how long President Trump will tolerate the mayor’s criticisms while the mayor seeks federal housing money, and Sid argues the mayor’s alienation of religious groups won’t matter to supporters until financial consequences hit. Walden then details his representation of Councilwoman Vicki Paladino in a lawsuit against the City Council for allegedly singling out her speech, seeking an injunction, and announces subpoenas of Progressive Caucus members for an April 7 hearing, adding some Democrats may testify for Paladino.
