The enthusiasm and support for our campaign now surging in from NYC’s Asian American community is incredible. Amazing rally today in Flushing! Their American dream requires government to reverse the attacks on their safety, wallets, freedom and education. #SaveOurState pic.twitter.com/L5qoVpp17c— Lee Zeldin (@leezeldin) November 4, 2022

Sid Rosenberg calls in to a special edition of Bernie and Sid in the Morning to speak with Frank Marano, Curtis Sliwa, and Red Apple President Chad Lopez, and remember his co-host, colleague, and friend, the late Bernard McGuirk.

Curtis Sliwa voices concern about the memory of the September 11 fleeing Americans: "You better wake up because in some cave in south Yemen, in Afghanistan, there's a group of men honoring their jihadists .. they intend on dong it again. America beware. We put this out of sight, out of mind but they never forget and they always prepare and they are ready to come at us again."

Disgraced ex-politician Anthony Weiner dodged questions about whether he had changed, much to the surprise of "Hannity" host Monday. "I guess the first question that I have is you pled guilty, Anthony, to sending obscene materials to a young girl, 15-year-old girl … You served jail time. Have you changed? Are you a different person?," Sean Hannity asked. "Well, uhm, I think so," Weiner responded. "I don't think anyone can go through that kind of experience, and I think this is probably true of people who have been through other types of adversity. I don't think you go through that...

Democrat Eric Adams will become the next mayor of New York City after defeating Republican candidate Curtis Sliwa in the city's mayoral election.Adams, a former state senator and police captain, had been the clear-cut favorite to win the general election after beating a number of Democratic opponents in the city's primary election in July. The likely incoming mayor beat out former city sanitation commissioner Kathryn Garcia, former City Hall legal adviser Maya Wiley and 2020 presidential candidate and entrepreneur Andrew Yang in the primary race that was largely centered on crime and the "defund the police" movement pushed by progressives....

e-mail 19 View comments New York City has elected black former policeman Eric Adams as mayor, making the Democrat the next leader of America's biggest city. The result was called by Associated Press shortly after the polls closed at 9pm Eastern Time, with less than 30 per cent of the vote counted. Adams already had a 50 point lead, CNN reported. The centrist Democrat trounced Republican rival and volunteer crime fighter Curtis Sliwa in the liberal-voting bastion to become just the second African American to lead the Big Apple. Sliwa, who founded the vigilante group Guardian Angels, showed up to...

This cat’s got nine lives. Feline-friendly GOP mayoral candidate Curtis Sliwa — who once survived a botched alleged mob takedown — was hit by a cab Friday, breaking his left arm, but still proceeded on his way to a radio show before going for treatment at Lenox Hill Hospital, the pol and his wife said. “As I was running here to fulfill the hour that I had purchased for this expose on Eric Adams, I was hit by the cab driver, thrust about 6 feet in the air right outside Rockefeller Center, where the Rockettes perform,” Sliwa said on WABC...

Curtis Sliwa has been a fixture in New York City for more than four decades, best known for starting the Guardian Angels, the volunteer anti-crime group, but he’s also worked as a trash-picker, newspaper boy, TV and radio host, and cat dad to more than a dozen rescued felines. As someone who claims to know the city streets and subways better than anyone else, there’s a certain logic to his latest move: running for mayor.The Republican nominee will face off against Democrat Eric Adams in November, a race that pits two New York City natives in their sixties against each...

Tuesday was the six-month anniversary of the January 6 riot that Democrats are treating like Pearl Harbor Day. They would prefer that the nation focus on that and forget the fact that the country’s blue cities were on fire for pretty much the entire summer of 2020 and the people they supported had the matches. The rush was on by Democrats to support total anarchy and treat law enforcement as the enemy. Few were quicker to jump on that bandwagon than NYC's Mayor Bill de Blasio. Mayor Bill was more than eager to hang out with Black Lives Matter agitators...

NYC voter only have two choices to choose from to elect the next NYC Mayor, Democrat, Eric Adams or Republican, Curtis Sliwa!!! It is as simple as that...period!!!

Guardian Angels founder Curtis Sliwa won the GOP mayoral primary in New York City on Tuesday, though he faces low odds of winning November’s general election. Sliwa was declared the winner over restaurateur Fernando Mateo with an over 40-point lead with nearly 70 percent of votes tallied. Both candidates waged bitter campaigns centered around support for law enforcement amid a rise in violent crime in the city. Sliwa, who founded a group of volunteer crime fighters without any legal authorization, cast himself as uniquely qualified to reverse the spike and said he would hire 3,000 more police officers. Sliwa,...

A string of moving trucks was spotted in Manhattan’s Upper West Side on Saturday, according to Guardian Angels founder Curtis Sliwa. “The mass evacuation of Upper West Siders from NYC is in full effect,” he told the New York Post. Sliwa blamed the city’s decision to house hundreds of homeless people in the neighborhood’s hotels for the exodus. “The moment I walked out on my block, near Central Park West, there was a moving truck. I asked where you going, and they said, ‘Virginia.’ They told me, ‘Curtis, first the pandemic hit us and now the quality of life is...

Interview of Curtis Sliwa by Rudy Giuliani on the Gambino assassination attempt, Crown Heights Pogrom, and the recent Guardian Angels defense of a shoe store in the Soho section of Manhattan. Crown Heights: At 19:35 Sliwa talks of Al Sharpton, and Sunny Carson, and the crowd screaming "Kill the Jews"

Since 1979, when crime was at its pinnacle across New York City, Curtis Sliwa, 66, has led a group of volunteers known as the "Guardian Angels" in signature red jackets who roam lawless pockets and aid those in need. But Tuesday night, amid the ongoing unrest gripping much of the nation following the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis, was one of the most chaotic and confronting scenes he has ever encountered, he said. "Throughout the coronavirus pandemic, we have mostly been in Chinatown to stop any hate crimes against Asians," Sliwa told Fox News. "But on Tuesday night, we...

Curtis Sliwa hopped into the water off Coney Island on Sunday, defying Mayor Bill de Blasio’s no-swimming order — and mocking hapless city Parks Department cops who watched him from shore as a crowd cheered him on. But Sliwa, dressed in a wet suit — and his trademark red Guardian Angels beret — strolled into the surf and swam around for about an hour without consequence, while a crowd of people on a pier near the old Parachute Jump cheered for him. Seven or eight Parks officers tried ordering the Guardian Angels’ founder and mayoral candidate out of the drink...

US Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez turned tail on Manhattan’s Fifth Avenue to avoid a potential Republican challenger as they both marched in the National Puerto Rican Day Parade on Sunday, her political opponent said. Talk-radio producer Rich Valdes told The Post that he tried to challenge the freshman Democratic congresswoman to a debate on the merits of capitalism versus socialism when he spotted her near West 47th Street. But Ocasio-Cortez “cut her handshaking short, jerked her hand back and jetted to the other side of the street,” Valdes said. “She literally ran!” he said. “I thought this was a good time...

Mayor de Blasio, a real 1%’er, goes to Food Fellas Pizzeria in Staten Island where you need to take a reverse mortgage on your house to afford any of their trendoid pizza pies. He then adds insult to injury by eating a slice (probably with pineapple and guacamole) with a knife and a fork. Oufffaahhh!!!! Curtis Sliwa, speaking for the 99%, has a slice NY style at a 99 cent pizza parlor in midtown. How ironic that the mayor who claims that there is a tale of two cities dines at a 5-star, top shelf pizzeria where you can’t even...

Albans/News Curtis Sliwa (above) leaves WABC on Monday and will be replaced by John Batchelor seven days a week. Whether you think Curtis Sliwa is a street-smart good guy or one of local media's all-time great self-promoters, WABC (770 AM) won't sound quite the same without him. John Batchelor, who moves into Sliwa's old 9 p.m.-1 a.m. slot starting Monday night, likes to have fun and play music. But he also takes a methodical, scholarly approach to international geopolitics, often with an emphasis on the Middle East. Compared to Sliwa, he sounds downright professorial. Having Batchelor in the late-evening...

Curtis Sliwa, for 18 years one of the most recognizable and persistent voices on WABC (770 AM), is leaving the station. WABC Tuesday announced that as of Monday, John Batchelor will begin hosting the 9 p.m.-1 a.m. weeknight slot that Sliwa had been holding down. Sliwa, also known as the founder of the Guardian Angels, confirmed Tuesday that "WABC and I were not able to agree on an extension of my contract." Concerning reports that he is talking with WNYM (970 AM), "The Apple," Sliwa said, "nothing is signed." For now, he said, he will continue to broadcast nightly from...
