Rich Lowry, Editor-In-Chief of National Review, joins Sid for his weekly appearance to discuss Trump's pro-Israel stance and actions, the problem of ongoing violence from Hamas, and perspective on the recent prisoner exchange. The conversation shifts to critique the Democratic stance on Israel, the need for a non-Hamas government in Gaza, and Rich's insights into the failings of international opinion regarding the conflict. The dialogue transitions to the mayoral race in New York City, where Curtis Sliwa, Andrew Cuomo, and Zohran Mamdani are discussed, focusing on the current polling and debate strategies. They also touch upon concerns about China's economic leverage over the U.S., especially in rare earth minerals and pharmaceuticals. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
