First, Sid sits down with Brian Kilmeade to dissect President Trump’s recent State of the Union address and his outreach to New York City Mayor Eric Adams. Kilmeade defends Trump’s Iran strategy, pushes back on criticism from Tucker Carlson, and shares his perspective on Trump’s NYC deal-making and national security priorities.
Next, columnist Miranda Devine weighs in on Trump’s strategic “bromance” with Mayor Mamdani amid the $12 billion affordable housing deal debate. She argues the alliance is calculated political maneuvering rather than simple cordiality, and discusses the potential implications for New York Republicans and the city’s leadership.
Sid then turns to local politics with Queens Councilwoman Joann Ariola, who grills the NYC Department of Transportation over alleged noncompliance with Local Law 6 of 2025. Ariola cites public safety concerns, claiming ignored guidance on street closures, bike lanes, and bollards is delaying emergency responses—and calls for accountability.
Sports and culture commentator Jason Whitlock shares his provocative views on leadership, family, and gender roles in society, praising Trump’s SOTU address while critiquing modern cultural trends.
Adding to the conversation, Emily Austin and legal expert Joe Tacopina join the show for insights on politics, law, and strategy. The show wraps up with Emily Austin, leaving listeners with her final thoughts on today’s biggest stories.
