Sid & Friends In The Morning

John Catsimatidis, Owner & Operator of Red Apple Media, calls into the program to discuss his concerns about the future of New York City, particularly under the potential leadership of mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani. He expresses unease from various communities, including the real estate, Italian, and Jewish sectors. Catsimatidis underscores the importance of the wealthy, who pay nearly half of the city's taxes, and the potential exodus if the new candidate is elected. He stresses the challenges facing the city’s police force, with a significant number of officers leaving, and the ramifications on public safety. Reflecting on past mayoral administrations and current political dynamics, Catsimatidis also contemplates the regret of not having run for mayor himself. He emphasizes the need for New York City to collaborate with federal authorities to maintain safety and order. Additionally, he hints at a potential corporate move to New Jersey if Mamdani emerges as the winner of the Mayoral race come November.
