Sep 17, 2026 · 13m

Summary

Sid and attorney Randy Mastro discuss a ruling ordering NYC to release communications regarding Mayor Mondani’s alleged collusion on the rent-freeze board. They also cover the second-home tax lawsuit, where the city’s botched rollout may force a restart. The conversation shifts to Netanyahu’s upcoming UN visit and the mayor’s threats to arrest him, which Mastro criticizes as stoking anti-Semitism. Finally, they debate Rudy Giuliani’s decision to shake hands with Mondani at the 9/11 ceremony, with Mastro defending the gesture as honoring the day’s solemnity.
