Tensions escalate in the 2025 NYC mayoral race as frontrunner Curtis Sliwa attacks Zohran Mamdani over his comments regarding the September 11 attacks. Sliwa claims Mamdani is “embracing terrorism” following an emotional speech in which Mamdani recounted his Muslim aunt’s experiences with anti-Muslim bias after 9/11.

00:00Curtis, we just got word again on WABC radio that Cuomo made remarks about Hochul endorsing Mamdani,
00:07saying that she endorsed Mamdani not because he likes his values,
00:11but because there's a fear of progressives or BSA types primarying in the election.
00:17Your thoughts on that?
00:18Well, that's Democratic drama.
00:21Remember, it was Cuomo who fled all Albany because he feared impeachment.
00:25Who did he choose to replace him as Lieutenant Governor?
00:28Kathy Hochul.
00:29So that's an internal battle for Democrats.
00:32That's why you have socialists taking over their party.
00:35I'm the only Republican running law and order, and I'm running in the spirit of Giuliani and Pataki.
00:41Big difference from Cuomo and Hochul.
00:43Another question, too, I have is there's a controversy, again, with WABC radio.
00:49Sid Rosenberg, you have worked with Sid Rosenberg over many years.
00:52In fact, over the years, you've mentored him as the talk show host for Sid and Friends in the Morning.
00:57Obviously, the controversy is the remarks he made regarding 9-11 and Mamdani, where Cuomo chuckled.
01:05He's accused, Mamdani's accused Cuomo of Islamophobia.
01:08He's also accused you of Islamophobia as well.
01:11When you were on New York 1, you said you support global jihad to Mamdani.
01:16What's your talk back towards that reaction from Mamdani's side regarding that?
01:22Oh, I would tell Mamdani and his supporters, as my mother told me, and I'm sure his mother told him,
01:27You will be judged by the company you keep, Zohan.
01:32And you have been very friendly, and you have embraced people who have advocated terrorism and global jihad.
01:41So you cannot suddenly separate yourself from your friends.
01:45The latest being Imam Siraj Wahaj, who actually sued me for $5 million because I took him on, and I won in court.
01:52So remember what Mamdani said, you will be judged by the company you keep, Zohan.
01:58And boy, you have a lot of friends who are embracing terrorism against us and the world.
02:05And your thoughts on Sid's comments on WABC on Thursday?
02:10Well, if you remember my last conversation with Sid, I broke all ties.
02:14I don't listen to WABC, so I don't even know what the comments were.
02:19In my mind, WABC in my life just does not exist.
02:23Any last comments?
02:25No, just nine days to go.
02:27I spend 20 hours a day campaigning.
02:30That's where the election will be won, out in the streets and the subways.
02:34That's the place that Zohan must go and his supporters and Cuomo must go.
02:39So hopefully Cuomo stops bellyaching that the only path to victory for him is for me to drop out.
02:45Because after yesterday, that's over.
02:48We're now counting votes.
02:50And every day I want all people to vote, even if you're not voting for me.
02:54Exercise the right that men died in battle to preserve.
02:58Free speech and most importantly, voting.
03:02That's what our democracy is.
