“you have this dynamic where there's these information gaps or poisoned information? And how are people riled up against each other and then against their own interest? [SPEAKER_02] And what can we learn from, and I mean this sincerely, what I think is an incredible mayor, the way Zoran Mamdani is running New York City and kind of always in a constant campaign mode of getting out the information of here's how government's actually working for you. Not a day goes by where he's not releasing a video of addressing the potholes to the tennis [SPEAKER_02] courts in the Bronx”

“robots, but other parts of the robotic installation system. And that, I think, is going to be a trend that we're going to be talking about in a decade's time. [SPEAKER_03] Alex, we were talking about Democratic candidates, and the term that's thrown around a lot is generational talent. Mamdani, AOC, Ossoff, because they are so talented for their age. I think you are a generational talent in geopolitics. I think our listeners would be frightened to know how young you are. I just love listening to you. You are one of the fastest hours in podcasting. Really appreciate your time today. [00:51:20.590 -->”

“alking points about the DSA. But the reason the DSA is feared, right, is because they are closer to the people than the Democratic Party. They are closer to the people than the Republican Party. Because once their policies are exposed, people are like, oh my God, that's what I want. But Mamdani's approval rating in New York is through the roof compared to other mayors because of that. Because he shows government works. Government can work if it's working for the collective. We're not trying to get private business out of, private business do your thing. I'm a private bu”

“? Yeah. As opposed to it just being your problem. I think Mamdani is the person who has shown us most clearly what it would look like. The whole campaign, right, which was an extraordinary organizing flex from the DSA, right, of getting 100,000 people to volunteer, which means that one in every 10 people who voted for Mamdani volunteered for Mamdani. [SPEAKER_10] But making it so fun with, you know, all kinds of parties and scavenger hunts and joy and the whole campaign being a love letter to New York City and the whole campaign being about we love this city, this city that gets vilified by, you know,”

“in student debt and just having all of that weight on you. But when you get together with other people in debt, you can – you know, you have some power. [SPEAKER_10] You become a problem for the people who you owe money to, right? Yeah. As opposed to it just being your problem.

“] [SPEAKER_04] Yeah. You know what? Good. I'm really glad this happened, actually, because, you know, the dog cop, the mail truck. He ginned all these people up. He said, I'm going to arrest Netanyahu and all this bullshit, and then they show up and attack him. I'm glad it happened because no one deserves it more than Mamdani. [SPEAKER_03] I want to say real quick. So I want to say it was David Rehoboy who on October 7th posted this audio, and it was so disturbing. It was from one of the animals who had invaded Israel on that day, and it's an audio recording of him calling home to his dad, saying like”

“favor of policies, which will benefit the interests of the working class, the poor, immigrants, labor unions. But I'm not a socialist. See, what's the distinction, and what's the difference here? [SPEAKER_01] You know, I'd say something like, in my world, my moral view of things, Zoran Mamdani is a deeply evil man. I believe that it is up to the individual to decide for themselves, so long as they aren't offending, they aren't violating the rights of other people. And what I mean by offending, I mean physically offending upon somebody, offense. That is, I do not subscribe to the belief [00:43:55.710”

“o talk to the IRGC. Okay. This guy is a terrorist. That's the bottom line. I'll say it. You don't want to say it. I'll say it. He's a terrorist. He's a jihadist. He hates the Jewish people. He hates America. He hates the Italian people. He hates the Irish people. He hates the German people. Unless you're Muslim, Mayor Mom Donnie has no use for you. He is a horrible person and maybe has perpetrated the worst American and Jewish hate in the history of this country. [SPEAKER_12] Those two people stand the other day on the west side of New York City. That blood is on his hands. That blood is on your hands”

“e unless John Thune comes back to D.C. and passes the Save Act today, there are going to be all kinds of, you know, irregularities and fraud, as always. And we're going to lose the House. We're going to lose the Senate. And lunatics like that lady with the box on her head, lunatics like Mamdani and El-Sayed are going to be powerful. They're going to win power. And it is going to be a sad day in this country because these aren't, again, your dad, mom, dad, grandfather's Democrats. These are anti-Semites. These are anti-American lunatics. And they are poised to take power. [00:28:23.810 --> 00:28:53.130”

[SPEAKER_12] Those two people stand the other day on the west side of New York City. That blood is on his hands. That blood is on your hands, Mayor Mom Donnie. We've got to find a way to get this guy out of here. Maybe Dr. Nelmae Wolfe is right. Maybe that election wasn't what it looked like on paper. Maybe he really didn't win. But either way, this guy is the worst thing to happen to New York politics maybe in the history of our state. He's a lowlife. [00:28:28.7”
