Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Pulse of the People | 02-15-26
Q: Do you agree with Montgomery's policy on biting ice if they do or when they do come into New York City?
Cuomo explains a nuanced stance on enforcement and public safety, emphasizing the need for practical measures rather than symbolic policy shifts, and acknowledging the complexities of urban governance.
Col. Jack Jacobs | 03-01-26
Q: What happens if we wait longer?
Waiting could yield no strategic benefit and may allow Iran to consolidate its capabilities, increasing regional and global risk; the guest argues for decisive action rather than prolonged inaction.
The Pulse of the People | 04-05-26
Q: What is your take on the city budget struggle between the mayor and the City Council?
The City Council is taking responsible actions, pushing back against large tax increases, and showing fiscal discipline, which could redefine governance dynamics in the city.
The Pulse of the People | 02-22-26
Q: What should the city do about the snowstorm given past mistakes?
Cuomo outlines a multipronged approach: declare a state of emergency, deploy private contractors and backhoes, bring in more National Guard, coordinate with Con Edison, and shift resources from other parts of the state to New York City.
Col. Jack Jacobs | 03-29-26
Q: Here's the box that I don't understand, Colonel. I don't believe the president would put troops on the ground because I believe you're right.
Jacobs acknowledges the complexity and uncertainty of a ground invasion scenario, emphasizing that any decision would hinge on strategic objectives, risk assessments, and the likelihood of achieving a meaningful political outcome, rather than optics or political timing.
