Speaker 1: Alzon Media. Welcome to it could Happen Here a podcast.
Speaker 1: We're in the wake of mom Dommy's victory. We are
Speaker 1: revising the old twenty sixteen slogan to eat your pheasants,
Speaker 1: drink your wine. Your days are numbered, bourgeois swine. I
Speaker 1: am your host, Mio Loong with Garrison Davis looking unhappy.
Speaker 2: Well, this is actually the new mandatory greeting in New York.
Speaker 3: You reed yes yesterday.
Speaker 2: Yeah, instead of saying hi on the subway or just
Speaker 2: trying to avoid each other, we have to we have
Speaker 2: to all recite this now.
Speaker 3: It's pretty crazy.
Speaker 1: FDR used to call the US the forty eight states
Speaker 1: to the Sovidia Seattle and I have I haven't quite
Speaker 1: figured out what the version of that for New York
Speaker 1: is yet.
Speaker 2: But no, no, the New York City nationalism really is
Speaker 2: a thing.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, even if the country falls, I think I think
Speaker 2: New York will remain as a remain as a city
Speaker 2: state beacon.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: See.
Speaker 1: Unfortunately, I'm having to temper my sort of Chicago in
Speaker 1: like this is a two two Chinese city like for this,
Speaker 1: and I'm also having to temper my like.
Speaker 3: Reflexive, uh not even reflexive.
Speaker 1: Bye. Bye bye, incredibly well thought out in detailed thoughts
Speaker 1: of electoralism, and.
Speaker 3: So so so today today, if I have.
Speaker 1: To cover electoralism positively, we're doing this in sports format.
Speaker 3: Oh we are, we are.
Speaker 1: We are looking at what's been going on with the
Speaker 1: reaction to mom Donnie's when we are fully we are
Speaker 1: fully doing winners and losers.
Speaker 3: It's gonna be great. We're gonna have a good time.
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm still traumatized from the World Series, so
Speaker 2: I don't really appreciate the sports framing. I actually the
Speaker 2: World's World Series Game seven. I was watching it at
Speaker 2: a bar and then I had to go across town
Speaker 2: to a different bar because I knew Zoron was doing
Speaker 2: the little gay bar hop on the same It is
Speaker 2: the World Series, Melly, So I missed the last thirty minutes.
Speaker 2: I had to leave during the ninth inning when the
Speaker 2: Blue Jays were still ahead.
Speaker 3: Oh no.
Speaker 2: And then and then in transport the Dodgers tie. They
Speaker 2: did two extra innings and then one, and it was devastating.
Speaker 2: And then I saw Bom Dottie dancing at a gay
Speaker 2: club like ten minutes later.
Speaker 3: It was serious.
Speaker 1: Gracious, You're welcome, welcome to being a Seattle Mariners fan.
Speaker 3: This is this is why, yes, yes, all the time
Speaker 3: for us every well aware.
Speaker 2: No, of course I I what I'm not cheering for
Speaker 2: the Jay is usually usually I'm cheering for the Mariners.
Speaker 3: So I know well and again, the only.
Speaker 1: Way to survive this is to become a truly transcendent,
Speaker 1: true Mariners fan, where you were not in this for
Speaker 1: winning and losing. You were in this for the fact
Speaker 1: that we had a guy whose name was Big Dumper
Speaker 1: because his ass was big as fuck and he had
Speaker 1: sixty home runs.
Speaker 3: And that's that's what you're in this game for. Okay, Okay,
Speaker 3: we're gonna turn this around. We're gonna this round.
Speaker 1: We're gonna actually start with winners with I think the
Speaker 1: most serious thing that we're going to do today.
Speaker 3: Not a high bar.
Speaker 1: Yeah, not a high bar. But I think, in the
Speaker 1: words of the great John Boyce, this moment belongs to her.
Speaker 1: And that's Lindsay Bolan, who was the first woman to
Speaker 1: accuse Cuomo of sexual harassment, who is one of the
Speaker 1: bravest women I've ever seen. And she's having a great time.
Speaker 3: That's good.
Speaker 1: There's a bunch of pictures of her going around but
Speaker 1: she's posting she's so happy it rocks.
Speaker 3: She's yeah, she's just she's just having a great time.
Speaker 2: This is this is like a dual pronged moment, right,
Speaker 2: One prong is just seeing Andrew Cuomo get completely humiliated
Speaker 2: for the second time in a row. Yes, and then
Speaker 2: the whole, the whole you know, like prospective hope of
Speaker 2: what a Mom Donnie mayoral occupation could.
Speaker 3: Meet.
Speaker 2: It's like a whole separate thing than just watching Cuomo
Speaker 2: get absolutely decimated. Right if there was there as someone
Speaker 2: who was only half as good as Momdanni who destroyed
Speaker 2: Cuomo and we still it would still be fun to
Speaker 2: laugh at Cuomo. The fact that it's Mumdannie is just
Speaker 2: a little bit of like an extra extra icing on top.
Speaker 3: I guess yeah. And I want to read a quote
Speaker 3: from her that she could this.
Speaker 1: This this was from before especially, I could tell since
Speaker 1: the actual win she's just been like partying and hasn't
Speaker 1: really been giving, like I think she went onto bocracy now.
Speaker 1: But like she she had this great line from this
Speaker 1: this piece and the Independent uh that was titled we
Speaker 1: will beat these monsters.
Speaker 3: And this this was from this. This is from the original.
Speaker 1: Primary when I hope every woman who has ever faced
Speaker 1: an abuser like Cuomo knows she doesn't have to be ashamed,
Speaker 1: she doesn't have to hide, because we will beat these monsters.
Speaker 1: New Yorker said no more to Andrew Cuomo, and that
Speaker 1: is just remarkable.
Speaker 3: And this ship rocks, this rocks.
Speaker 2: Fuck him, especially Cuomo who ran his campaign. I'll be like,
Speaker 2: it's dangerous to be a woman on the subway, and
Speaker 2: we're like why because you're gonna be on it, like
Speaker 2: like his whole, his whole, like law and order in
Speaker 2: New York is a dangerous, scary place to live because
Speaker 2: there's predators out there.
Speaker 3: It was like a main part of his campaign.
Speaker 2: Meanwhile, four years ago he resigned because he was a predator.
Speaker 1: Yeah, eleven eleven women came forward, Like that's remarkable, astounding,
Speaker 1: and you know this is hopefully this is this is
Speaker 1: the beginning of many, many, many defeats that these fucking
Speaker 1: people will have over the coming years.
Speaker 2: Hopefully the last defeat for Cuobo, but for others of
Speaker 2: his ill Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, theseus.
Speaker 1: There are there are many, many people who hold a
Speaker 1: whole variety of offices and sometimes are just like your
Speaker 1: boss or someone you work with or someone.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and fuck him, we're gonna beat them all. This rocks.
Speaker 1: So that that's that's winner number one, Winter number two.
Speaker 1: People with child's.
Speaker 3: People with childs. Wow, people with child look, I agree.
Speaker 3: I ye so little sleep last night. I was I
Speaker 3: have no excuse.
Speaker 1: I was up being extremely gay at like four in
Speaker 1: the morning.
Speaker 3: I'm really tired. Yeah.
Speaker 1: People, people with children getting getting free childcare a thing
Speaker 1: that is in fact really good.
Speaker 2: Free childcare would be would be pretty cool. And it's
Speaker 2: one of the few things on the Momdani platform that,
Speaker 2: like the governor herself is pretty pretty set on helping
Speaker 2: to achieve.
Speaker 1: And you know there's Spike Lee who's having a great
Speaker 1: time partying, is just just just loving it.
Speaker 3: It's great, it's great. That's good. Yeah. Renters also good. Yeah.
Speaker 3: People people who live in rest stabilized apartments getting not
Speaker 3: the rent increased and also they're being more rent controlled
Speaker 3: housing built good good things, good things. People who buy food.
Speaker 1: But when I say people who buy food, right, you
Speaker 1: would think that's all people. Most of the people who
Speaker 1: we are going to be talking about on this list.
Speaker 1: Those motherfuckers have not set foot in a grocery store
Speaker 1: in a decade. There really truly is a classified between
Speaker 1: people who buy food and people who do not ever
Speaker 1: buy their own food.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like around if you make around two hundred
Speaker 2: thousand dollars a year, based on the time that you
Speaker 2: spend procuring your own groceries, people argue that it's more
Speaker 2: efficient for you to order or have people bring food
Speaker 2: to you and not do any of that work yourself.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and you know, so we have that, we have.
Speaker 1: You know, I think there's a sort of macro point
Speaker 1: you can make here about you know, the ties between
Speaker 1: affordability and the sort of the sort of politics affordability
Speaker 1: and the ways in which there are a bunch of
Speaker 1: people who would affects. And then there is the top
Speaker 1: five percent of the US who do fifty percent of
Speaker 1: the country's consumer spending, who this is not going to
Speaker 1: affect because they do fifty percent of the consumer spending
Speaker 1: on bullshit.
Speaker 3: And so I want to, I want to.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm gonna declare myself a winner because I
Speaker 1: fucking hate Mody. And Zoran called Mody a war criminal
Speaker 1: and specifically talked about his mass killings of Buslims and Gujarat,
Speaker 1: which is the first time I've ever seen a major
Speaker 1: American politician talk about that and fuck him.
Speaker 3: He's the butcher of Gujarat. Eat shit. Yeah, this is
Speaker 3: this is this is This is a kind.
Speaker 1: Of short winners section, because you know, I could list
Speaker 1: like people in New York City, like who aren't really rich,
Speaker 1: like Harrison right, like you know, but this is mostly
Speaker 1: a losers episode. This is mostly a oh my fucking god,
Speaker 1: the right is doing a crash out and oh boy,
Speaker 1: there are some great stuff. So I want to start
Speaker 1: the losers with Laura Ingram. Who the chevron on her show?
Speaker 3: Who? Who? Who? Laura Ingram? Wow?
Speaker 2: Fox News host evil she's still Fox News.
Speaker 1: Huh yeah yeah her her Fox News thing that the
Speaker 1: chevron on It was by winning, the Democrats are actually losing, which.
Speaker 2: Is true, God, God, I hope. So from your mouth
Speaker 2: to God's ears, Laura, so good.
Speaker 3: It's the most there's there's a whole genre of this.
Speaker 1: If I wanted to, I literally could have just pulled
Speaker 1: things that were like the Democrats are winning by actually
Speaker 1: losing like that. There's like Ross Douthit, who's like the
Speaker 1: sort of make work higher like he's one of the
Speaker 1: old school makework higher in New York Times columnists, he's
Speaker 1: like a very very weird Catholic who used to advocate
Speaker 1: Catholics like taking the Benedict option and going into the
Speaker 1: woods and not interacting with society, which please Ross Douthit
Speaker 1: and your ILK.
Speaker 3: I mean, that's not very Catholic. Please do that.
Speaker 1: You if you want to go argue theology with Ross,
Speaker 1: do go fucking happily for.
Speaker 3: Go do this.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but like you know, doubt of the New York
Speaker 1: Times immediately is like, Momgani's victory is less dignificant than
Speaker 1: you think, and it's like, ah, yes we are, we
Speaker 1: are getting owed. We are not owned, we are not owned,
Speaker 1: et cetera, et cetera, solely turning into a corn.
Speaker 3: Cob humping the copium straight into my veins.
Speaker 1: Yeah, mm hmm. It's truly amazing stuff. I think in
Speaker 1: the just pure cope vein is Did you did you
Speaker 1: see the Mike Cernovich post about this?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 3: Oh my god. Okay, So I'm not gonna how do
Speaker 3: I say this? I'm not gonna association.
Speaker 1: He's quote tweeting a video that's just like it's like
Speaker 1: a five minute video of like the Zetio whatever live
Speaker 1: stream of the after party, and it's just Cernovich is
Speaker 1: just going, this is a rowdy, masculine environment. You can
Speaker 1: feel the energy as the Heritage Foundation is putting members
Speaker 1: through a struggle session and demanding a deidan.
Speaker 3: The left is winning true true, And then like that
Speaker 3: is that is happening right now.
Speaker 2: We'll be doing a piece on the Heritage struggle sessions,
Speaker 2: probably later this week.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, And that's the that's the do we accept
Speaker 1: the overt neo Nazi or not?
Speaker 2: Yes conflict which they are very divided on, which is
Speaker 2: not not a great sign.
Speaker 1: Gotta say, I gotta say, don't don't love that. But
Speaker 1: in another just incredible, like I'm not mad thing. Surtvitch
Speaker 1: post that and then quote tweets his own tweet and says,
Speaker 1: if you didn't know anything about politics, you would say
Speaker 1: this is the sign I want to be on.
Speaker 3: Conservative inc is joyless. It's the house of scolding bags.
Speaker 3: It offers young men nothing beyond moralizing and hypocritical lecture.
Speaker 2: This is probably also following the fallout of the Fuentez
Speaker 2: Tucker interview and the like sectarian right yep, yep, yep.
Speaker 2: Quote that's that's not really in fighting necessarily, but like
Speaker 2: these these debates on on twent as his placed within
Speaker 2: the Conservative Party and this argument against what I guess
Speaker 2: like right wing cancel culture that you have people like
Speaker 2: Vans like Matt wallsh talk about how like we should
Speaker 2: not be you know, canceling people like Tucker or you know,
Speaker 2: these young GOP staffers, her white premacists for saying things
Speaker 2: that are offensive because we need to have a united
Speaker 2: front against the left versus this whole other reaction from
Speaker 2: like Shapiro and you have Heritage just caught in the
Speaker 2: middle of this, and there's like senators and Mike Johnson
Speaker 2: or who are trying to like keep this like legitimate
Speaker 2: like anti semitic, but like also like anti Israel, but
Speaker 2: through anti Semitism, like this anti Semitic is section of
Speaker 2: the right led by front as like keep it quarantined,
Speaker 2: which is increasingly breaking quarantine. So they're looking at how
Speaker 2: the right has devolved into this fighting and then seeing
Speaker 2: the election of Zoran and being like, oh, the grass
Speaker 2: is greener on that side, I guess, which is really odd.
Speaker 1: YEA, yeah, yeah, it's so funny because it's just like
Speaker 1: literally just all of the shit they've been saying about
Speaker 1: the left forever. They're just suddenly like, oh my god,
Speaker 1: they wire the some part some of the right is
Speaker 1: like maybe maybe not literally the neo Nazi. And now
Speaker 1: they're like, oh, it's actually it's actually the right that is, uh,
Speaker 1: the house of scolding nags who offer young men nothing
Speaker 1: beyond moralizing in the hypocritical lecture, which is it's just amazing.
Speaker 1: It's I don't know, it's so funny. They're they're just
Speaker 1: they're just losing it insofar as there is a kind
Speaker 1: of important thing here. It's that like in a moment
Speaker 1: where you know, the sort of ruling party is becoming
Speaker 1: increasingly unpopular, they're also fracturing from the inside to the
Speaker 1: extent where like they're like worst nightmare just got elected
Speaker 1: as the mayor of New York and instead of like rallying,
Speaker 1: they're doing this shit. Very funny. There's been a few
Speaker 1: governor reactions. I'm going to pull from The Guardian here.
Speaker 1: A great abbot tweeted joined me in a moment of
Speaker 1: silence for New York City, thoughts and prayers.
Speaker 2: That it's been losing it over the selection.
Speaker 1: It's so funny, it's very good. Rick Scott is the
Speaker 1: Center of Florida, The Guardian. Florida has welcomed those fleeing
Speaker 1: communists and socialist regimes for decades, wrote Senator Rick Scott
Speaker 1: of Florida. Tonight is no different. Florida will welcome all
Speaker 1: freedom loving New Yorkers.
Speaker 2: It's funny because that's very different from Abbot's promise of
Speaker 2: trying to tearriff.
Speaker 3: People who flee from New York to Texas.
Speaker 1: Abbot's like, oh shit, hold on, maybe maybe I can
Speaker 1: cash in on all of this money. We're gonna We're
Speaker 1: gonna get to whether people are actually fleeing New York
Speaker 1: in a later segment spoiler alert nine yet but come,
Speaker 1: there is still time. If we want people to flee
Speaker 1: New York, We're just gonna have to do it ourselves.
Speaker 1: Speaking of doing it ourselves, this podcast we do it,
Speaker 1: but also the products and services support the show do it.
Speaker 2: We cannot, in fact do it ourselves. You know, we
Speaker 2: have to at this point have the assistance of the
Speaker 2: capitalist advertising industry. So enjoy, enjoy that.
Speaker 3: We are back.
Speaker 1: So let's turn to Elon Musk. Who is I mean,
Speaker 1: I guess for Elon Musk, he is kind of having
Speaker 1: a normal one he is doing a bunch of his
Speaker 1: normal posts about how like Western civilization is doomed unless
Speaker 1: the core weakness is suicidal empathy.
Speaker 2: Is recognized suicidal empathy.
Speaker 3: It's so bad.
Speaker 1: There's there's a very very funny segment that I'm not
Speaker 1: going to play just because like, I don't, I don't.
Speaker 1: I do not believe in exposing our dear listeners to
Speaker 1: having to listen to Elon Musk try to talk because
Speaker 1: it's just a j Yeah, there's no him on Joe Rogan,
Speaker 1: where Joe Rogan's like, Okay, why did you call him
Speaker 1: Donnie a swindler? And it's just a minute straight of
Speaker 1: Elon Musk going, uh, he has nothing.
Speaker 2: He can't even complete a full sentence. He had at
Speaker 2: one point says that you know, swindlers will always say
Speaker 2: what the audience wants to hear. And that's the only
Speaker 2: thing he's he that's the only complete thought that he gives.
Speaker 2: The rest of his sentence or attempts at making a sentence,
Speaker 2: is just saying the word like five times and then
Speaker 2: saying that, well, you know, Zorn is actually quite charismatic.
Speaker 1: His brain is so cooked, it's so good. It's and
Speaker 1: I say this to someone who stammers a significant amount.
Speaker 1: This is this is just there's nothing going on in
Speaker 1: his brain.
Speaker 3: This is closer to head empty noe thoughts.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that empty no thoughts derogatory, which derogatory.
Speaker 2: Comma bands always derogatory, always, always derogatory.
Speaker 3: Oh god.
Speaker 1: So there's then this sort of mix of like the
Speaker 1: world is falling with this also kind of oh my god,
Speaker 1: he won. And also this is a very attractive charismatic dude.
Speaker 1: It is kind of breaking these people's brains that there's
Speaker 1: just like a hot guy who beat the shit out
Speaker 1: of them. There's like there's like definitely sort of like
Speaker 1: psychosexual politics going on here.
Speaker 3: You can see it in shit posting.
Speaker 2: No, absolutely would have a heyday. I don't know, would
Speaker 2: have a heyday writing about the psychosexual aspect of the
Speaker 2: anti Zoron and the obviously some.
Speaker 3: Of the pros are unbeatful as well.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, absolutely, yeah, this is a great things are
Speaker 1: happening in politics.
Speaker 2: Even Trump has had to defend his looks, this being
Speaker 2: better than mister mum Donnie, which objectively not true, very funny,
Speaker 2: saying he is quote unquote a much better look.
Speaker 3: It's so funny.
Speaker 2: But they also have this weird thing that some people
Speaker 2: on the left are doing. This is largely a Twitter thing,
Speaker 2: but this does seep out into real world conversations, which
Speaker 2: I've I've heard is thirsting after Zorn's wife and comparing
Speaker 2: and comparing Zorn's wife to like like Milania or something,
Speaker 2: and like in a whole bunch of really weird ways.
Speaker 3: Jesus Christ, that's really weird. Don't do that.
Speaker 2: Look how like beautiful and aristocratic Zoron's wife is versus God,
Speaker 2: versus former porn star Milania Trump. And you're like, country,
Speaker 2: what are you doing?
Speaker 3: Guys? Is the doing misogyny? You're doing misogyny. It's bad.
Speaker 3: Simply don't do that.
Speaker 2: But we do love the twenty seven year old zoomer
Speaker 2: New York first Lady. Yeah, she's good for her, good
Speaker 2: for her, check out her art.
Speaker 1: I want to want to turn a little bit to
Speaker 1: Speaker of the House Mike Johnson. He said Democrats of
Speaker 1: New York have chose in a true extremists and Marxist
Speaker 1: and the consequences will be felt across our entire nation.
Speaker 1: He also said that Badami's policies are defunding the police,
Speaker 1: seizing private property, and massive tax increases, which I fucking wish.
Speaker 2: I mean, that does all sound kind of cool, but
Speaker 2: that is that is absolutely not what Zoron's current state
Speaker 2: of politics are.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's also funny because this is the same
Speaker 1: reaction they've had to every single Democrat who's been elected
Speaker 1: in the past twenty years.
Speaker 3: Totally.
Speaker 1: The right has so much just sort of weird projection shit,
Speaker 1: and I feel like they've been doing this whole like,
Speaker 1: oh my god, you all called this fascist, and now
Speaker 1: we're all fascists. And it's like, no, you called Barack Obama,
Speaker 1: who was like the most neoliberal Democrat they've ever put
Speaker 1: in office, maybe second only to both Clinton maybe, like
Speaker 1: you called him a communist, and now it's like, okay,
Speaker 1: this guy's a democratic socialist. And you're just saying like,
Speaker 1: oh this time, now, this time it's communism.
Speaker 3: It's just like, okay, really.
Speaker 2: Now the boy who cried will think that the right
Speaker 2: does all the time. It depowers their own rhetorical tactics, yep, yep, yep.
Speaker 2: And you see this in a few ways. I think
Speaker 2: you've seen this in part with like the transmass shooter thing,
Speaker 2: and and certainly they've been doing this thing around you
Speaker 2: communism or socialism for a while, to the point where
Speaker 2: you can have the mayor of New York proudly call
Speaker 2: himself a socialist, a democratic socialist, and gets elected with
Speaker 2: record numbers.
Speaker 3: Yep.
Speaker 1: So one of the things that he's going to be
Speaker 1: dealing with, obviously is is the financial class. We're gonna
Speaker 1: get to some more weird reactions. But there's a very
Speaker 1: funny NPR quote that I'm going to read. I'm always
Speaker 1: gonna read this quote. I think it's the stages of grief,
Speaker 1: said Karen Wilde, who runs the Partnership for New York City,
Speaker 1: an influential business group that represents more than three hundred
Speaker 1: large employers.
Speaker 3: This is very funny.
Speaker 1: They're they're fully in their like acceptance negotiation phase of this.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I think they might not be letting
Speaker 2: on the degree to which they have been in this
Speaker 2: process for a while. There was like a final push
Speaker 2: among like Bloomberg, who probably met with Mamdanni like months ago,
Speaker 2: and they like developed like a kind of like truce,
Speaker 2: which Bloomberg broke in the week before the election when
Speaker 2: he suddenly funneled millions of dollars into Islamophobic ads.
Speaker 3: Like nine to eleven ads. But there was a lot of.
Speaker 2: Meetings happening between Mamdani and people who would make up
Speaker 2: his future administration and the business class, which have happened
Speaker 2: since he won the primary in June. And this sort
Speaker 2: of negotiating and bargaining has been going on for quite
Speaker 2: a while. And I think the acceptance now is really
Speaker 2: the final I mean, these steps aren't necessarily always always
Speaker 2: like sequential. Yeah, but I think we were rapidly approaching
Speaker 2: the acceptance phase across the city and people are actually
Speaker 2: looking at like realistically and what the negotiating side of
Speaker 2: enacting these things is going to look like, including the
Speaker 2: financial people.
Speaker 3: Yeah. That that said, Ken Griffin not happy at all. No,
Speaker 3: they're not happy.
Speaker 1: No, this is this is a business Insider for the
Speaker 1: people of New York. I pray that the policies Montdammy
Speaker 1: uses to govern and lead New York are different than
Speaker 1: the talking points he used to win the Mayo race.
Speaker 3: People in New York deserve better. I do want to.
Speaker 1: I did cut out the part in the middle of
Speaker 1: there with the Business Insider where he said this Wednesday
Speaker 1: at the American Business Forum in Miami.
Speaker 4: Some in New York, like to say this very funny.
Speaker 4: Hell yeah, very funny in this sort of like crashout spectrum.
Speaker 4: So the people who are like having the absolute worst
Speaker 4: time are a bunch of Israeli politicians who are very
Speaker 4: mad about this shocking. Yeah, I'm just go quoth to
Speaker 4: Washington Post here. Israel's far right Minister of Security bang
Speaker 4: Gavir said Wednesday that Mondami's win would be quote remembered eternally.
Speaker 4: Is the moment when anti Semitism overcame common sense. The
Speaker 4: Aspora Affairs Minister on me tried cheekly in an excoriating statement,
Speaker 4: accused New York City of quote handing his keys over
Speaker 4: to a Hamas supporter.
Speaker 3: And this is also a giant loss.
Speaker 1: For one Benjamin Nett and Yahoo who Mamdami has said
Speaker 1: he will arrest That's.
Speaker 3: What in New York, which rocks very funny. Will this
Speaker 3: actually happen?
Speaker 2: I don't know, hilarious, Yeah, I mean, these things just
Speaker 2: don't work anymore, like they Yeah, you Like I watched
Speaker 2: an interview with Jonathan green Blat, the head of the
Speaker 2: ad L like good Morning America, like like talking about
Speaker 2: this and how they're establishing me an anti Semitism monitor
Speaker 2: to track the Zoran administration, and even like the hosts
Speaker 2: of Good Morning America were like, come on, man, like,
Speaker 2: that's not.
Speaker 3: He's not he's not what we do.
Speaker 2: He's not an anti like he's he's against he's against
Speaker 2: the genocide at Gaza. Like he's not. He's not like
Speaker 2: a Jew hating anti semi. Yeah, and like they were
Speaker 2: even getting tired of green BLAT's little like shtick and
Speaker 2: how he was constantly like performing to the camera to
Speaker 2: try to get people to like, I don't report incidents
Speaker 2: that then they'll add into this into this monitor program,
Speaker 2: so they'll try to blame them Momdani administration for not
Speaker 2: protecting Jews or whatever.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: This was on Mourning Joe on MSNBC, not Good Morning America.
Speaker 3: My apologies.
Speaker 1: This is also you know, if you want to talk
Speaker 1: about another sort of category of losers, just like all
Speaker 1: of the unhinged Islamophobia. Oh yeah, like all the people
Speaker 1: spreading that got annihilated. Yeah, just absolutely smash and like
Speaker 1: and yeah, and you know it is worth saying like, yeah,
Speaker 1: like this was one of the most racist campaigns I
Speaker 1: have ever seen, but the Antrew Cuomo sort of ways
Speaker 1: it was.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, just hideous, more racist than Trump versus Kamala
Speaker 2: by far. Yeah, like like exceptionally so and done by
Speaker 2: Democrat establishment figures largely.
Speaker 1: Yep, Man just rancid and they got their ash handed
Speaker 1: to them. And I think that's good. There's a very
Speaker 1: very public level of exceptions for soomophobia. You can just
Speaker 1: say the most of homophobic shit anyone's ever heard on
Speaker 1: TV and it's fine and no one does anything. But
Speaker 1: also like, people don't fucking like that shit. It sucks,
Speaker 1: it's awful, and fuck these people. And you know, I
Speaker 1: think this is sort of the tide turning. Oh and
Speaker 1: speaking of the tide turning, Bill Ackman, as we've talked
Speaker 1: about on Ed, bending the knee, saying Congress are on
Speaker 1: what donnity congrats on the wind. Now you have a
Speaker 1: big responsibility if I could help New York City, just
Speaker 1: let me know what I can do.
Speaker 3: Very good.
Speaker 1: So to sort of close out this, like the losers section,
Speaker 1: I want to turn. There's a great piece and defector
Speaker 1: about the people who've threatened to leave New York City
Speaker 1: if Mom Donnie won and unfortunately reached out for comment,
Speaker 1: none of them were actually leaving.
Speaker 2: It's really sad because people don't want to leave the city.
Speaker 2: It's a good city, which is the whole point of
Speaker 2: Zoron's campaign was about how much of the city is
Speaker 2: cool and rocks and Quebo's campaigns, but how much it's
Speaker 2: bad and scary.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And unfortunately, tragically this does mean that you're going
Speaker 1: to have to have Dave Portney and this whole this
Speaker 1: whole crew of Barshaal dipshits still in the city. So
Speaker 1: good luck. I hope you appropriate them. I hope they
Speaker 1: hope they have.
Speaker 3: A bad time now.
Speaker 1: I want I want to move into my last category,
Speaker 1: which is the sort of baffling category. We got a
Speaker 1: kind of wild Obama quote quote, the future looks a
Speaker 1: little bit brighter. It's a reminder that when we come
Speaker 1: together around strong, forward looking leaders who care about the
Speaker 1: issues that matter, we can win.
Speaker 3: It's a it's a very silly quote.
Speaker 1: I the odds Obama personally had at least one person
Speaker 1: on that campaign staff, Beat and Durat Occupy are very high.
Speaker 3: Like it's.
Speaker 1: It's really truly this moment of like, brother, you spent
Speaker 1: so much time trying to make sure this wouldn't happen,
Speaker 1: and you have failed, and now you're in the like
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do the Obama thing where like I'm the
Speaker 1: friend of all the young leaders, and I'm going to
Speaker 1: give them the worst advice you've ever heard in your
Speaker 1: entire life. I don't know, still still still have never
Speaker 1: gone over Obama personally intervening to make sure the NBA
Speaker 1: players didn't go on strike during the uprising. Oh God,
Speaker 1: one of the worst like post presidential moments I've ever seen.
Speaker 1: I want to close on Jamie Diamond, the CEO of
Speaker 1: JP Morgan Chase, who when I asked why mont Donnie said, quote,
Speaker 1: he's a young man. Will he get good at it?
Speaker 1: I haven't said about montdonneie making and implementing good policies.
Speaker 1: I see a lot of people in big jobs, including
Speaker 1: big political jobs, they grow into it. I've seen a
Speaker 1: lot of people they kind of swell into the job,
Speaker 1: they get worse, they you know, all of it becomes
Speaker 1: about them. I'm hoping he's the good one and that
Speaker 1: will be important for the future in New York. He said, true, true,
Speaker 1: and real.
Speaker 2: No. I mean like there's a lot of this slow capitulation,
Speaker 2: which we're even seeing with private comments from Trump that
Speaker 2: are being leaked into reporting through the New York Times,
Speaker 2: where in private Trump has called mister mom and Donnie
Speaker 2: a slick and good talker and a talented politician, and
Speaker 2: the last Wednesday said that he might quote help him
Speaker 2: a little bit, maybe unquote, and that he wants New
Speaker 2: York to succeed, which is, you know, contrary to like
Speaker 2: previous threats of like pulling back all funding if I'm
Speaker 2: Donnie gets elected.
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I.
Speaker 2: Think part of part of this reaction is both like
Speaker 2: how strong Zorn's victory is. We all like know that
Speaker 2: Trump likes winners, but also the fact that Zorn has
Speaker 2: like very quickly tried to establish dominance over the president
Speaker 2: in some ways mm hmm, in a way that like
Speaker 2: someone like Trump like kind of respects with mym notty
Speaker 2: positioning himself as like a legitimate like adversarial figure to Trump. Yeah,
Speaker 2: like right off the bat. And there's a little bit
Speaker 2: of the Trumpian mind that actually kind of appreciates that
Speaker 2: and thinks it's.
Speaker 3: Like cool and impressive.
Speaker 1: During the first Trump administration that there was a whole
Speaker 1: running theory that if you could get Trump in a
Speaker 1: room with Hugo Chavez, you could make him a socialist
Speaker 1: in like an hour, because he really does just repeat
Speaker 1: the last thing.
Speaker 3: Anyone in a room said to him.
Speaker 1: So we're like, we're finally going to test the theory
Speaker 1: of can't we get a charismatic person in the room
Speaker 1: with him and make him do stuff he would normally
Speaker 1: do and probably not?
Speaker 2: But you know, I mean, and like the biggest thing
Speaker 2: right now is like the difference in immigration policy.
Speaker 3: But like Trump's from New York.
Speaker 2: Trump knows how much New York is a city built
Speaker 2: by and run by immigrants, Like he knows that when
Speaker 2: Stephen Miller is like orchestrating all his messaging, it's like
Speaker 2: the worst of the worst of the anti immigrant stuff.
Speaker 2: But I think in terms of Zorn's opposition to Trump
Speaker 2: primarily being with immigration, I think Trump understands how immigration
Speaker 2: like rests very importantly into the identity of New York
Speaker 2: in which with that's like the main oppositional force. I
Speaker 2: think Trump similarly we is gonna understand where mom Donnie
Speaker 2: is coming from in a way.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I think I think we are going to
Speaker 1: see like a particularly like Stephen Miller, Oh yeah, conflict.
Speaker 2: As this goes on, absolutely, because this is the perfect
Speaker 2: example of stuff that Miller and people like Matt Walsh
Speaker 2: and like the Great Replacement people have been talking about.
Speaker 2: And the other huge batch of reactions that you're seeing
Speaker 2: from people like Walsh is that this election only went
Speaker 2: this way because of how many foreigners were allowed to
Speaker 2: vote in New York.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: If this election was done by true New Yorkers quote
Speaker 2: unquote yep, then Quotmo would have won. And looking the
Speaker 2: results of this election, looking at how many immigrants voted,
Speaker 2: people who have moved to New York in the past
Speaker 2: ten years, past five years, Mam Donnie did very well
Speaker 2: with with those groups. You have a lot of these
Speaker 2: like far right anti immigration people pointing towards that as
Speaker 2: being like this is what we're trying to defend the
Speaker 2: country against or else all of our elections are going
Speaker 2: to go like this, Yeah, unless we make sure that
Speaker 2: only white Americans can vote.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then and so there's there's that reaction water sign.
Speaker 1: The other the the the other reaction from roughly that
Speaker 1: crowd is women cannot be allowed to vote.
Speaker 2: Yes to which they also they also believe that like yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: this analysis obviously has faults, but it's it's even falling
Speaker 2: apart in terms of like the young male vote. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: they got hammered, which the Republicans have, you know, have
Speaker 2: been been very very excited about about how much you know,
Speaker 2: young men are voting for the Republican Party, right, young
Speaker 2: young men are all Republican, even even if young women
Speaker 2: are all the Democrats. And you see in specifically this
Speaker 2: election where Mam Donnie is up forty percent with young men,
Speaker 2: and the divide among men is mostly through age, with
Speaker 2: older men going going for Cuomo and millennials and gen
Speaker 2: Z men swinging very strongly towards Mamdani. You have all
Speaker 2: these like Democrats trying to figure out, how do we
Speaker 2: attract the young male vote, how do we do this?
Speaker 2: And you have a guy show you what kind of policies,
Speaker 2: what kind of messaging works exceedingly well, Yeah, which just happens.
Speaker 2: Wh people tried so hard to kill that strategy, and
Speaker 2: it was proven twice in a row, first with the
Speaker 2: primary and even more so with the general.
Speaker 3: And yeah, that will frighten the GOP.
Speaker 2: It'll frighten them seeing that young men will vote for
Speaker 2: a Democratic socialist if they actually have these policies and
Speaker 2: you have this type of like solid messaging they're not condescending,
Speaker 2: and the candidate embodies like a new generation of change.
Speaker 2: It's very threatening to the GOP and to establishment Democrats.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and like like I've see Steve Bannon's out here
Speaker 1: being like if he loves in the midterms and losing
Speaker 1: twenty twenty eight, I'm going to prison, which from your
Speaker 1: own to.
Speaker 3: God here, So like.
Speaker 2: The biggest mistake the Democrats made last time, well, there's many,
Speaker 2: many big mistakes, right, Palestine being a huge one, But
Speaker 2: I think a huge mistake they made. It's not completely
Speaker 2: destroying Trump and his whole like caviit's ability to like
Speaker 2: exist in public life. Like they he Trump should have
Speaker 2: been immediately in prison for trying to overthrow the government
Speaker 2: and basically set into a whole and after that Supreme
Speaker 2: Court ruling on presidential community, it should have like been
Speaker 2: taken out as like a national security threat. Like Democrats
Speaker 2: cannot cannot play this like they go low, we go
Speaker 2: high game anymore if we're going.
Speaker 1: To get out of this, and it's it's probably not
Speaker 1: given me the Democrats. You do this, but like are
Speaker 1: Nuremberg is going to have to make the original Nuremberg
Speaker 1: look like paper clip?
Speaker 2: Like well, that's what the original Nuremburg was. The original
Speaker 2: Nuremberg also sucked. See that we are are Nerdberg to
Speaker 2: Nurnberg harder. I see, Yeah, I'm actually doing it.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I really like Jacob Geller's video on Nuremberg, and it
Speaker 2: is it is a nice emotional play stuff fall back
Speaker 2: on in times of of torment. But I don't think
Speaker 2: we're gonna Nuremberg ourselves out of this one. And unfortunately
Speaker 2: I don't have a very strong solid alternative at the moment.
Speaker 2: But at the very least Trump should have been treated much,
Speaker 2: much harsher after January sixth.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we can leave it as for now Nuremberg to
Speaker 3: warns and ascent into Nuremberg. Well, this has been a
Speaker 3: can happen?
Speaker 1: Here are a rare upbeat episode where all of our
Speaker 1: enemies are having a very bad time.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're also mad about Lena Khan on the Transition team.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, very funny. They're so very mad, very mad.
Speaker 2: Go to Transition twenty twenty five to learn more about
Speaker 2: Zoron's Transition team. A fantastic url really really going.
Speaker 3: For it Transition twenty twenty.
Speaker 2: Five stealing tread valor true real You go girl.
Speaker 3: I give Zora on the past. You can say it estrogen.
Speaker 2: No, no, no, he's fine as he is.
Speaker 3: For Transit the company. He's actually a good looking man.
Speaker 3: He doesn't need it.
Speaker 2: He's actually he's actually figured it out.
