New York's Shock Election

New York just shocked the timeline, and we’re sorting the signal from the noise. A “Muslim communist” mayor headlines a chaotic week, but the deeper story runs through migration politics, media incentives, and a conservative movement pulled between outrage and outcomes. We pull quotes from high-profile voices, test their claims, and ask the harder question: what will New Yorkers actually feel on the street, at school, and in their wallets over the next six months?

We start with the immediate reaction cycle—viral posts, front-page covers, and sharpening labels—then move into the policy ground where elections become real life. Public safety, housing supply, and city budgets take center stage. If borders and busing shaped coalitions, what are the concrete fixes cities can control? We explore how policing priorities, permitting reform, and targeted social services could change the day-to-day, and where ideological branding distracts from measurable results. Along the way, we unpack the Islamism-versus-communism debate and pivot to a simpler test: will this administration make New York more livable for families and small businesses?

The episode also holds a mirror to the right. Platforming provocateurs fuels clicks but drains focus from local wins. We break down the Tucker-Fuentes controversy, the crossfire among conservative media figures, and the cost of letting personality loyalty outrank standards. Then we sketch a practical path forward: set bright lines on who gets a platform, invest in neighborhood-level coalitions, and track outcomes with transparent dashboards so rhetoric can be judged against reality.

If you’re tired of hot takes and want a roadmap for what matters next—crime metrics, housing approvals, school performance, and voter coalitions—this one’s for you.

SPEAKER_00: 0:15

Well, New York, you did it. You elected a Muslim communist mayor. How do you feel about yourselves? I'll ask you again in about six months how you feel about it. Uh, but yeah, can you believe it? I have a blog piece, the blog post brewing in my head about what I want to write about this. But for now, let's go over and see what X is all saying about it. It is insane. I retweeted a lot of people. Um, let's see, because I am just speechless, quite frankly. Uh so Michael Knowles writes the saddest part is he'd never have won were New York full of New Yorkers. Well, that's true. Uh, thank you. You can thank Joe Biden for the open borders and all you can even uh thank Greg Abbott and Ron DeSantis for shipping them all to New York. Um so there you go. Bo Snerdley, excuse me, Bo Snurdly writes, Gop, you had better not cave on the shutdown. Democrats will want it to be over now. Make them fold 100%. Give them nothing. Amen. And let's see, um what else is going on? Uh Caitlin Bennett said Florida is horrible. There are alligators and mosquitoes everywhere, and we get hurricanes, blah, blah, blah, blah. Trying to be funny, telling people from New York when they're fleeing that Florida, you don't want to move there. And I said, and the same for Alabama. The heat and humidity are brutal. We don't want, we don't even have indoor plumbing. We run around shoeless and toothless, bit in bib overalls, redneck accents, don't move here. So Carol Swain writes, it was a democratic sweep and a very good night for Muslim Americans on the win for Zauran Mamdani. Um you know what? Oh no, I'm gonna skip that part because it doesn't matter. Um Matt Walsh writes, a third world a third world communist won in New York because New York is a third world city now. This is mass migration working exactly as intended. It isn't anywhere complicated than that. It isn't any more complicated than that. I suggest you go follow Matt Walsh from here on out because he's gonna have a lot to say about it. Hopefully he will. And he's and he's right, he is absolutely right. Um so the New York Post has their front page is Zorom Mom Dani holding uh the communist symbol. All right, so Peachy Keenan writes, it's not the Islamism that's the problem, it's the communism. But anyway, she says, excited for my next trip to the People's Republic of Manhattan. And folks, this is why this is part of the reason we are here, because you like to make fun of and make light of. I guess there's nothing else you can do. But I also wrote, no, Islamism is also the problem. We are a country founded on Christian values, these people are being groomed. Okay. Um, so Michael Knowles again. He says, while we're talking about Muslims, an unpopular opinion, hijabs are more tasteful than much of what passes for modern women's fashion. And I retweeted that and I said, Oh dear God, he's being groomed, doesn't even know it. Uh let's see what else. Uh disclose dot TV writes now, Democrat Mickey Sherrill elected to be New Jersey's next governor. And she says, here in New Jersey, we know that this nation has never been nor will ever be ruled by kings. And I retweeted it saying, No, now New Jersey is ruled by murder lovers. Murdering lovers. And here's another one from uh Matt Walsh that I reposted. Just to recap the last two months, Charlie Kirk shot in the throat on stage. Thousands of leftists spend weeks celebrating openly. Leftist militants take to the streets committing and calling for more violence. Attorney General candidate for Virginia expresses a desire to murder more conservatives and watch their children die. Democrats voters turn out in mass to vote for him. Do you understand who your enemies are yet? Amen. Uh I mean, I mean, there's what do you guys think about this? This is just in asinine insane. I don't get it. Well, I do get it. I do get it. But it's can you I just can't believe it, I guess, is what I'm trying to say. And I'm trying to get over here to my New York uh post app to see what else I could talk about. Um, it's just New York Press has not New York Post has nothing on it but um Zorron Mom Donnie. I mean, what else is there to talk about? And shame on Donald Trump for not getting out there and uh stumping for uh Winsome Earl Sears in Virginia. Shame all because she supported Ron DeSantis. Shame, shame, shame on you, Donald Trump. Yeah, I said it. F it. So what else? I mean, there's nothing on here but that. Um oh god, Eric Trump really, come on now. Eric Trump ru refuses to rule out dad running for third term or himself while discussing 2024 victory on Pod Force 1. Well, we can't keep living on 2024 victory. We're in now running into 2026. So, and there is not gonna be a third term for Donald Trump. You can't do it, it's against the Constitution. Uh maybe he just meant Trump mentality. I don't know, but we need more of it throughout the country. Um, I have a blog post idea brewing in my head, and I don't know. I'll go ahead and share it with you because what what the hell? Why not? Um, I wrote a blog post yesterday regarding the Nick Fuentes Tucker Carlson interview, and I'm like, why are we even? And then because of that, people lost their minds. The Heritage Foundation defended Tucker, and then the chief of staff quit. He because they were getting backlash over it. And then we got Meghan Kelly and Matt Walsh talking about Tucker Carlson's their friend, they're not gonna come out and say anything bad against them, blah, blah, blah. And then you got Ben Shapiro just coming hard down on Tucker Carlson as he should. Um, and you know, I don't really give a shit what Megan Kelly thinks, what Matt Walsh thinks, what uh Ben Shapiro thinks about that whole thing. Um whatever. Whatever. You can go read my Victory blog post, my Victory Girls blog post over there as to why I don't care. Because Nick Fuentes is a nobody try-hard punk ass poser who who doesn't build anything, he doesn't produce anything, he all he does is talk stupid shit. He's a Holocaust denier. Why anybody would give him a platform to to to amplify that message is beyond me, Tucker. You know, but Tucker's kind of gone off the deep end, and you know, I really don't give a shit what anybody says about this particular thing. I don't care their little infighting with Megan Kelly, Matt Wash, uh Ben Shapiro about, oh, I'm not gonna say anything bad about Tucker, blah, blah. I don't care. Because Nick Fuentes is nothing and a nobody. So why are you even talking about that when you should be talking about Winsome Earl Sears, you should be talking about Zoran Mam Dani, you should be talking about uh trans ideology cult. That's what you should be talking about all the time. Stop this little petty infighting. So my idea about my blog post for an Americanist is going to be how Nick Fuentes voted for Zoran Mamdani. Now, obviously, he didn't really vote for him, but the mentality of people being afraid of voicing their concern over a Muslim communist becoming mayor of New York City because they don't want to be put in the same bucket with Nick Fuentes. There you have it. We have been groomed to bow down to the Muslim religion of peace, uh, and to be ashamed or afraid to be white or just to be American in general, maybe not not necessarily white, but American in general or a Christian in general. Um, because and now we have a Muslim communist as mayor for New York City. Yeah, there you go. So, like I said, it's brewing in my head. I need to I need to think about it some more and then get it down on paper. All right. That's all I have for you today. I guess I should do the question of the day. Huh. Well, I just can't come up with a question of the day. Just give me your thoughts on uh Zoran Mamdanny becoming the mayor of New York City. What do you think? What is their future now? What do you think is gonna happen? Do you think uh he'll only last, I don't know, four years? Is it four years for them? Mayor, I don't know. Um do you think the people will eventually recall? I mean, I don't know how that works. What do you think is gonna happen now? Give me, give me a prediction of the next six six months of what you think New York City is going to become. Okay, gotta go. Thanks for listening. Bye.
