Rabbi Mark Goldfeder | 05-24-26

Rabbi Mark Goldfeder and Andrew Cuomo critique the local government’s failure to adequately protect Jewish students from harassment through a proposed buffer zone bill. The speakers argue that while the legislation is constitutionally sound and viewpoint-neutral, it has been significantly weakened to exclude universities, representing a symbolic rather than substantive effort to combat anti-Semitism. Goldfeder highlights the disparate treatment of the community, noting that the city manages to secure sports celebrations while failing to provide a safe passage for children entering schools.

Andrea Stricker | 05-24-26

Andrew Cuomo interviews nuclear expert Andrea Stricker to examine the fragile status of a potential diplomatic agreement with Iran. While the administration claims the deal is nearly finished, the discussion highlights a deep skepticism regarding whether the proposed nuclear concessions and inspection protocols are stringent enough to prevent a covert breakout.

Andrea Stricker | 05-17-26

Andrew Cuomo and expert Andrea Stricker evaluate the efficacy of the current U.S. strategy toward Iran, contrasting recent military successes with the difficulty of securing a lasting diplomatic resolution. While the speakers acknowledge that joint U.S. and Israeli military strikes have significantly degraded Iran’s nuclear infrastructure and delayed their weapons capabilities by years, they remain skeptical that air strikes alone provide a permanent solution. The central theme is the necessity of total capitulation, specifically requiring Iran to accept intrusive international monitoring and the complete removal of enriched uranium, which the speakers fear the regime will resist.
