The Arrested Development: Mamdani Wants Netanyahu, Trump Wants Epstein Files Uncovered, One Israel Fund Celebrates | 11-18-25

On this Tuesday edition of Sid & Friends in the Morning, Sid covers several political events and issues. Mayor Adams continues his tour of Israel, meeting with Israeli leaders to discuss antisemitism and NYC-Israel relations.

Sid also highlights Mamdani's unrealistic campaign promises on affordability and his outreach to President Trump regarding a possible meeting between the two this week. Additionally, Sid touches on President Trump's reversal on releasing Jeffrey Epstein's case files, now supporting transparency and imploring Republicans to pass the bill to release the files. Finally, the importance of Israel to American Jews and individuals' connections to the land is emphasized, with Sid previewing tonight's annual One Israel Fund Gala that he'll be MCing. Bo Dietl, Eleonora Srugo, Gordon Chang, John Chell, Miranda Devine & Scott Feltman join Sid on this Tuesday installment of Sid & Friends in the Morning. Learn more about your ad choices.
