John welcomes Jonathan Mahler, New York Times Magazine staff writer and bestselling author of “The Bronx Is Burning,” to discuss his new book, “The Gods of New York: Egotists, Idealists, Opportunists, and the Birth of the Modern City: 1986-1990.” Mahler unpacks the reinvention of the Big Apple in the second half of the Eighties; riffs on the outsized characters (from Ed Koch and Rudy Giuliani to Larry Kramer, Al Sharpton, and, of course, Donald Trump) who played key roles in it; and argues that the rise of Zohran Mamdani signals an end to the 40-year era spawned by that transformation. He and Heilemann also reminisce about crossing paths as undergrads in 1987—first as teammates and then as cellmates.

Ruth Messinger needs no introduction to those who follow New York politics. Beginning in the 1970s, she built a more than 20–year career in public service, serving a decade on the New York City Council before becoming Manhattan borough president for eight years. In 1997, she made history as the first woman to win the Democratic nomination for mayor, defeating the Rev. Al Sharpton in a hard-fought primary. Beyond city politics, Messinger went on to lead the American Jewish World Service for nearly two decades and now serves as its inaugural Global Ambassador. Recently, Messinger has stepped back into the political arena, voicing her support for Democratic mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani — a striking move at a time when many veteran New York Democrats have held back.  She joined NY1's Errol Louis to reflect on her long career of activism and public service, explain why she believes Mamdani's election is essential despite hesitation in parts of the Jewish community, and share her hopes for a New York City where she thinks working-class people can once again thrive.

From the publisher: New York entered 1986 as a city reborn. Record profits on Wall Street sent waves of money splashing across Manhattan, bringing a battered city roaring back to life.But it also entered 1986 as a city whose foundation was beginning to crack. Thousands of New Yorkers were sleeping in the streets, addicted to drugs, dying of AIDS, or suffering from mental illnesses. Nearly one-third of the city's Black and Hispanic residents were living below the federal poverty line. Long-simmering racial tensions threatened to boil over.The events of the next four years would split the city open. Howard Beach. Black Monday. Tawana Brawley. The crack epidemic. The birth of ACT UP. The Central Park jogger. The release of Do the Right Thing. And a cast of outsized characters—Ed Koch, Donald Trump, Al Sharpton, Spike Lee, Rudy Giuliani, Larry Kramer—would compete to shape the city's future while building their own mythologies.The Gods of New York is a kaleidoscopic and deeply immersive portrait of a city whose identity was suddenly up for grabs: Could it be both the great working-class city that lifted up immigrants from around the world and the money-soaked capital of global finance? Could it retain a civic culture—a common idea of what it meant to be a New Yorker—when the rich were building a city of their own and vast swaths of its citizens were losing faith in the systems meant to protect them? New York City was one thing at the dawn of 1986; it would be something very different as 1989 came to a close. This is the story of how that happened.Information on Jonathan Mahler's book can be found athttps://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/568081/the-gods-of-new-york-by-jonathan-mahler/Support our show and Reach out and Read of Tampa Bay at https://patreon.com/axelbankhistoryAxelbankHistory.com is designed by https://www.ellieclairedesigns.com/Axelbank Reports History and Today" can be found on social media at https://twitter.com/axelbankhistoryhttps://instagram.com/axelbankhistoryhttps://facebook.com/axelbankhistory

From Mean Streets to Wall Street: How Trump, Koch, and the other Gods of New York Remade America

Is the history of New York City the heart of the American story? Or does it exist in parallel, perhaps even independently, from the main American narrative. As with everything about the Big Apple (so good they named it twice), the answer is both. Or everything. At least according to Jonathan Mahler, author of The Gods of New York, a new history of the egoists and opportunists who remade the city in the 1980s. It's the story of Donald Trump, of course, as well as Rudi Guiliani, Ed Koch, Spike Lee, Larry Kramer, Al Sharpton and an astonishingly entertaining cast of characters that only New York could create. But it's also the broader American story of the victory of neo-liberal economics and ever-deepening chasm between Wall Street wealth and main street poverty. Mahler argues that the transformation from the "Mean Streets" dystopia of the 1970s to the finance-dominated metropolis of the 1980s didn't just save New York City —it created the troubling template for modern America, complete with all our current economic inequalities, political absurdities and tabloid cultural realities. 1. The 1980s Created Modern America's Template The transformation of New York from 1986-1990 wasn't just urban renewal—it was the birth of neoliberal America. The city's embrace of Wall Street, real estate development, and deregulation became the blueprint for how America would operate for the next four decades.2. Power Shifted from Public to Private The era marked a fundamental transfer of urban power from public officials like Robert Moses and labor unions to private developers like Trump. Instead of government-led projects, cities began relying on private industry to drive development—often with devastating consequences for working-class communities.3. Trump's Origin Story Explains His Political Magic Trick Trump went from being the 1980s symbol of greed and excess to becoming the voice of America's disaffected in 2016. This transformation from tabloid character to populist leader represents one of the most remarkable political reinventions in American history.4. The American Dream Became Less Accessible New York's evolution into what Bloomberg called "a luxury product" reflects a broader national trend. The same forces that saved the city from 1970s decline also priced out working and middle-class families, making economic mobility increasingly difficult.5. Tabloid Culture Became Political Culture The larger-than-life personalities who dominated 1980s New York—the "Gods" of Mahler's title—pioneered a celebrity-driven, spectacle-based approach to public life that eventually consumed American politics, from Trump's rise to our current media-saturated political landscape.Keen On America is a reader-supported publication.

On Tuesday's Mark Levin Show, President Donald Trump calls into the show and discusses transforming the U.S. from a dead country under President Biden to the hottest nation globally, as affirmed by world leaders. Trump describes handling the Russia-Ukraine conflict through instinct rather than rigid processes, emphasizing his success in securing hostage releases without concessions. He praises PM Benjamin Netanyahu as a war hero amid legal challenges and recounts authorizing a precise military strike on Iran's nuclear facility, which pilots had prepared for over 22 years, preventing imminent nuclear weapon development. Furthermore, our media is deeply flawed, and Susan Rice is no exception as she criticizes Trump for not securing a cease-fire agreement. However, Trump is addressing a much larger issue that extends beyond just a cease-fire. European leaders, along with Zelensky and Putin, will not agree to a deal unless it meets their standards. It's noteworthy that Trump was able to facilitate discussions between Zelensky and Putin, a feat that Biden and many previous presidents would never have achieved. Also, Rep. Gregory Meeks and Rev. Al Sharpton have attacked Trump with "taking over" cities using the National Guard, effectively seizing control of significant African American neighborhoods and exploiting them. They even labeled Trump as "Jim Crow 2.0," a truly reprehensible accusation. However, many in Washington DC, including members of the African American community, are recognizing the need for safety and are thankful that the National Guard was present. With crime rampant in Washington DC and numerous other cities, this is a crucial part of Trump's strategy to restore safety and make these cities safe again. Learn more about your ad choices.

Chuck Todd opens with a revealing moment that perfectly encapsulates Trump's psychology: after praising Todd on Truth Social for comments taken completely out of context, Trump exposes his desperate hunger for validation and his dangerous ability to rewrite reality, while the six-week delay reveals how information bubbles work in his administration and his "neediness" for historic affirmation drives increasingly erratic behavior that's systematically dismantling constitutional norms. He argues we're witnessing a fundamentally different Trump 2.0 where the resistance that constrained his first term has evaporated, leaving Republicans as a "unified defense mechanism" while Democrats fracture over strategy, all as Trump successfully convinces the country that rules simply don't apply to him anymore. Then, he looks ahead to several key developments shaping the 2026 midterms, from Eleni Kounalakis's California governor exit clearing the field for Rick Caruso, to Sherrod Brown's strategic Ohio Senate bid against likely GOP nominee Vivek Ramaswamy with Amy Acton as a Democratic wildcard, to Mamdani's commanding New York City poll lead over flailing campaigns from Eric Adams and Andrew Cuomo. Throughout, he warns that Trump's systematic destruction of institutional norms threatens America's constitutional republic at the exact moment when international credibility and democratic checks and balances matter most for global stability, while his apocalyptic vision of Washington creates a permission structure for authoritarianism that will outlast his presidency.Then, author Jonathan Mahler joins Chuck Todd for a deep dive into his new book “The Gods of New York” which explores the cultural and political forces that shaped New York City during its transformative 1980s era. They discuss figures like Ed Koch who pioneered the "celebrification" of NYC mayors, and Donald Trump who was considered a "fleeting cultural figure" despite learning how to manipulate tabloid culture for attention. Mahler traces the interconnected stories of power brokers like Roy Cohn, who connected Trump with NYC's elite before his death signaled the end of an era, and the complex relationship between Trump and Al Sharpton, who "fed off each other" while Sharpton strategically chose which politicians could attend high-profile funerals like that of murdered teenager Yusef Hawkins. The conversation explores how Trump inserted himself into politics through cultural commentary starting in 1988, mirroring George Steinbrenner's attention-grabbing tactics from the 1970s, while the city grappled with the AIDS epidemic and Ed Koch's failure to meet the moment due to fears of being outed.The discussion examines the broader cultural awakening of the era, from the rise of ACT UP during the AIDS crisis to Spike Lee's movie "Do the Right Thing" serving as a wake-up call for white America, all occurring under the looming presence of Mario Cuomo, who was "larger than life" in New York politics. Mahler details how Trump mastered the art of becoming one of New York's "tabloid gods" before heading toward spectacular bankruptcy in 1990 and entering his "hibernation" period in the '90s, while also drawing parallels between historical political dynamics and contemporary figures like Zohran Mamdani. The episode concludes with insights into why transformational mayors like David Dinkins struggled with reelection and how the Yankees' resurgence became symbolic of the city's broader renewal, providing essential context for understanding how New York's unique political and cultural ecosystem created the conditions that would eventually propel Trump from local celebrity to national political figure.Finally, he answers listeners' questions in the “Ask Chuck” segment.Timeline:00:00 Chuck Todd's Introduction03:45 Trump praises Chuck on Truth Social04:45 Trump missed the context of Chuck's comments05:30 It took six weeks for Chuck's comment to make it to Trump06:45 Trump wants to be historic and shows he's needy08:00 Trump is desperate for affirmation, whether it's positive or negative09:15 Trump bullies everyone into believing there are no rules10:15 Trump ran into resistance in 1.0, but not in 2.011:15 Why the pushback to Trump has dissipated14:00 The Republican party is a unified defense mechanism for Trump14:45 Democrats are split on how to push back on Trump18:00 The apocalyptic vision of DC Trump paints is inaccurate20:30 Trump's actions are terrible for the long term image of the U.S.22:15 If we want to stay a constitutional republic, we need checks and balances24:15 Two big developments in CA governor race25:15 Eleni Kounalakis drops out of CA gov race26:15 Rick Caruso setting up run for governor?

Hello,This week, we have a long talk with an author we both have admired for a while, Jonathan Mahler. His new book, The Gods of New York: Egoists, Idealists, Opportunists, and the Birth of the Modern City: 1986-1990, is a chronicle of how a four year stretch in New York City laid down the groundwork for a new city, one that fully separated itself from its working class roots and any notion of civic unity for a fractured, polarized, and atomized city that gave rise to everyone from Donald Trump to Al Sharpton to Larry Kramer to Spike Lee. Really really good book and a great guest. This is a public episode. If you'd like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes, visit goodbye.substack.com/subscribe

Larry is joined by New York Times journalist and author Jonathan Mahler to discuss his newest book ‘The Gods of New York: Egotists, Idealists, Opportunists, and the Birth of the Modern City: 1986-1990', publishing on August 12th. They begin their conversation by detailing why Jonathan decided to write the book and shining a light on the rich history of New York city that precedes the period it covers. Here, they focus on the infamous Howard Beach, Queens incident with local police that led to the rise of Al Sharpton and a new age of public protesting (18:46). After the break, Larry and Jonathan take a look at the Wall St. crash of 87-88 and break down how the AIDS epidemic affected both the gay and art communities in New York at that time (31:52). They end the pod by talking about Rudy Guiliani's war against the mob, how the tabloids created Donald Trump, and filmmaker Spike Lee's love letter to the city,  ‘Do The Right Thing' (38:43).
