Rich Lowry, Editor-In-Chief of National Review, joins Sid to talk about President Donald Trump's potential involvement in the 2025 New York City mayoral race. They discuss the political risks of candidates publicly aligning with Trump in a heavily Democratic city, suggesting it could backfire despite candidates privately seeking his support. They criticize Mayor Eric Adams’s chances of re-election, calling him politically isolated and ineffective. The discussion also touches on Trump’s influence over the GOP's 2028 presidential race, speculation about possible successors like JD Vance, Marco Rubio, Laura Trump, and even Donald Trump Jr. Lowry describes Trump as acting like the "governor of America," brokering big economic deals like the $600B Apple investment. While Lowry isn’t fully "MAGA," he acknowledges Trump’s effectiveness and enduring influence.

Rabbi Yehuda Kaploun, nominated by President Trump to become the next US special envoy for combatting antisemitism, calls into the show to express frustration with Senate delays, noting that over 150 qualified nominees—including himself—are being held up due to political gridlock. The conversation shifts to the alarming global rise in anti-Semitism, including violent acts, misleading media portrayals, and widespread ignorance about Jewish history. Both men criticize the New York City education system and Mayor Eric Adams for failing to educate students about the Holocaust and American history, while allowing questionable curriculum like jihad studies. They condemn the growing popularity of anti-Israel figures like Zohran Mamdani and lament that many American Jews are disconnected from Israel. Kaploun praises the Trump administration for taking serious steps to protect religious freedom and Jewish students, urging a bipartisan effort to fight hate and promote dignity for all.
