New York's Shock Election

TALK TO ME, TEXT IT

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. Listen, share with a friend who follows NYC politics, and leave a review to tell us where you think the focus should shift next. Subscribe so you don’t miss the follow-up as the first policies land.

Episode Transcript

SPEAKER_00 (00:00):
Well, New York, you did it.
You elected a Muslim communistmayor.
How do you feel aboutyourselves?
I'll ask you again in about sixmonths how you feel about it.
Uh, but yeah, can you believeit?
I have a blog piece, the blogpost brewing in my head about

(00:23):
what I want to write about this.
But for now, let's go over andsee what X is all saying about
it.
It is insane.
I retweeted a lot of people.
Um, let's see, because I am justspeechless, quite frankly.
Uh so Michael Knowles writes thesaddest part is he'd never have
won were New York full of NewYorkers.

(00:44):
Well, that's true.
Uh, thank you.
You can thank Joe Biden for theopen borders and all you can
even uh thank Greg Abbott andRon DeSantis for shipping them
all to New York.
Um so there you go.
Bo Snerdley, excuse me, BoSnurdly writes, Gop, you had

(01:05):
better not cave on the shutdown.
Democrats will want it to beover now.
Make them fold 100%.
Give them nothing.
Amen.
And let's see, um what else isgoing on?
Uh Caitlin Bennett said Floridais horrible.
There are alligators andmosquitoes everywhere, and we

(01:26):
get hurricanes, blah, blah,blah, blah.
Trying to be funny, tellingpeople from New York when
they're fleeing that Florida,you don't want to move there.
And I said, and the same forAlabama.
The heat and humidity arebrutal.
We don't want, we don't evenhave indoor plumbing.
We run around shoeless andtoothless, bit in bib overalls,
redneck accents, don't movehere.

(01:48):
So Carol Swain writes, it was ademocratic sweep and a very good
night for Muslim Americans onthe win for Zauran Mamdani.
Um you know what?
Oh no, I'm gonna skip that partbecause it doesn't matter.
Um Matt Walsh writes, a thirdworld a third world communist

(02:10):
won in New York because New Yorkis a third world city now.
This is mass migration workingexactly as intended.
It isn't anywhere complicatedthan that.
It isn't any more complicatedthan that.
I suggest you go follow MattWalsh from here on out because
he's gonna have a lot to sayabout it.
Hopefully he will.

(02:30):
And he's and he's right, he isabsolutely right.
Um so the New York Post hastheir front page is Zorom Mom
Dani holding uh the communistsymbol.
All right, so Peachy Keenanwrites, it's not the Islamism

(02:52):
that's the problem, it's thecommunism.
But anyway, she says, excitedfor my next trip to the People's
Republic of Manhattan.
And folks, this is why this ispart of the reason we are here,
because you like to make fun ofand make light of.
I guess there's nothing else youcan do.

(03:13):
But I also wrote, no, Islamismis also the problem.
We are a country founded onChristian values, these people
are being groomed.
Okay.
Um, so Michael Knowles again.
He says, while we're talkingabout Muslims, an unpopular
opinion, hijabs are moretasteful than much of what

(03:37):
passes for modern women'sfashion.
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

(03:57):
to be New Jersey's nextgovernor.
And she says, here in NewJersey, we know that this nation
has never been nor will ever beruled by kings.
And I retweeted it saying, No,now New Jersey is ruled by
murder lovers.
Murdering lovers.
And here's another one from uhMatt Walsh that I reposted.

(04:20):
Just to recap the last twomonths, Charlie Kirk shot in the
throat on stage.
Thousands of leftists spendweeks celebrating openly.
Leftist militants take to thestreets committing and calling
for more violence.
Attorney General candidate forVirginia expresses a desire to
murder more conservatives andwatch their children die.
Democrats voters turn out inmass to vote for him.

(04:44):
Do you understand who yourenemies are yet?
Amen.
Uh I mean, I mean, there's whatdo 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'tbelieve it, I guess, is what I'm

(05:06):
trying to say.
And I'm trying to get over hereto my New York uh post app to
see what else I could talkabout.
Um, it's just New York Press hasnot New York Post has nothing on
it but um Zorron Mom Donnie.
I mean, what else is there totalk about?
And shame on Donald Trump fornot getting out there and uh

(05:27):
stumping for uh Winsome EarlSears in Virginia.
Shame all because she supportedRon DeSantis.
Shame, shame, shame on you,Donald Trump.
Yeah, I said it.
F it.

(05:49):
So what else?
I mean, there's nothing on herebut that.
Um oh god, Eric Trump really,come on now.
Eric Trump ru refuses to ruleout dad running for third term
or himself while discussing 2024victory on Pod Force 1.
Well, we can't keep living on2024 victory.

(06:12):
We're in now running into 2026.
So, and there is not gonna be athird term for Donald Trump.
You can't do it, it's againstthe Constitution.
Uh maybe he just meant Trumpmentality.
I don't know, but we need moreof it throughout the country.
Um, I have a blog post ideabrewing in my head, and I don't

(06:35):
know.
I'll go ahead and share it withyou because what what the hell?
Why not?
Um, I wrote a blog postyesterday regarding the Nick
Fuentes Tucker Carlsoninterview, and I'm like, why are
we even?
And then because of that, peoplelost their minds.
The Heritage Foundation defendedTucker, and then the chief of

(07:00):
staff quit.
He because they were gettingbacklash over it.
And then we got Meghan Kelly andMatt Walsh talking about Tucker
Carlson's their friend, they'renot gonna come out and say
anything bad against them, blah,blah, blah.
And then you got Ben Shapirojust coming hard down on Tucker
Carlson as he should.

(07:20):
Um, and you know, I don't reallygive 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 blogpost, my Victory Girls blog post

(07:44):
over there as to why I don'tcare.
Because Nick Fuentes is a nobodytry-hard punk ass poser who who
doesn't build anything, hedoesn't produce anything, he all
he does is talk stupid shit.
He's a Holocaust denier.
Why anybody would give him aplatform to to to amplify that

(08:06):
message is beyond me, Tucker.
You know, but Tucker's kind ofgone off the deep end, and you
know, I really don't give a shitwhat anybody says about this
particular thing.
I don't care their littleinfighting with Megan Kelly,
Matt Wash, uh Ben Shapiro about,oh, I'm not gonna say anything
bad about Tucker, blah, blah.

(08:27):
I don't care.
Because Nick Fuentes is nothingand a nobody.
So why are you even talkingabout that when you should be
talking about Winsome EarlSears, you should be talking
about Zoran Mam Dani, you shouldbe talking about uh trans
ideology cult.
That's what you should betalking about all the time.
Stop this little pettyinfighting.

(08:48):
So my idea about my blog postfor an Americanist is going to
be how Nick Fuentes voted forZoran Mamdani.
Now, obviously, he didn't reallyvote for him, but the mentality
of people being afraid ofvoicing their concern over a

(09:11):
Muslim communist becoming mayorof New York City because they
don't want to be put in the samebucket with Nick Fuentes.
There you have it.
We have been groomed to bow downto the Muslim religion of peace,

(09:33):
uh, and to be ashamed or afraidto be white or just to be
American in general, maybe notnot necessarily white, but
American in general or aChristian in general.
Um, because and now we have aMuslim communist as mayor for

(09:54):
New York City.
Yeah, there you go.
So, like I said, it's brewing inmy head.
I need to I need to think aboutit 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 questionof the day.
Huh.
Well, I just can't come up witha question of the day.

(10:16):
Just give me your thoughts on uhZoran Mamdanny becoming the
mayor of New York City.
What do you think?
What is their future now?
What do you think is gonnahappen?
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 willeventually recall?

(10:37):
I mean, I don't know how thatworks.
What do you think is gonnahappen now?
Give me, give me a prediction ofthe next six six months of what
you think New York City is goingto become.
Okay, gotta go.
Thanks for listening.
Bye.
