Portland Police Chief Bob Day just bent the knee to progressive ideology, and it's absolutely stunning to watch. For over 100 nights, Antifa has turned a federal ICE facility into a war zone—windows boarded up, graffiti everywhere, firebombing, and residents can't even sleep due to noise violations. Yet Portland Police Bureau has been completely MIA, doing nothing but "monitoring from a distance" while federal agents handle violent criminals alone. But the moment Trump announces federal troops are coming to protect the facility, suddenly Portland police are "Johnny on the spot" making arrests. Could you imagine if the Proud Boys did this for even one night outside City Hall? Game over instantly. This is pure partisan politics—ICE is literally deporting criminal illegal aliens who've committed crimes, doing exactly what they're supposed to do. But because it's Trump's federal government, Portland leadership would rather support the anarchists firebombing buildings than law enforcement protecting their community. The hypocrisy is absolutely mind-blowing. What happened to supporting law and order? Why are residents who can't sleep in their own homes less important than appeasing Antifa? Let me know what you think in the comments, and don't forget to subscribe for more government accountability content!

With mounting repair costs that could top $100 million, Dallas' City Hall is at the center of what likely will be a public and emotional conversation about whether to salvage the brutalist building or tear it down. City Hall's problems go beyond faulty wiring and a leaky parking garage. In other news, a Southlake woman accused of trafficking women to a New York City financier's “sex dungeon” worked as a substitute teacher for Carroll ISD. In a page-long statement Tuesday, Carroll ISD school board president Cam Bryan acknowledged that 45-year-old Jennifer Powers worked at the district but did not say how long. Bryan went on to say that “the individual in question is no longer employed by Carroll ISD, has been fully removed from all roles, and no longer has any access to our campuses or facilities.” Also, the stadium arms race in North Texas has cooled drastically. Why? And, for the second time in two years, Dallas has delayed its plan to end alleyway trash and recycling pickup for thousands of households after strong resident opposition. City Manager Kimberly Bizor Tolbert announced Wednesday that the phaseout, originally set for January, is now on hold. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

The decomposed remains of 15-year-old runaway Celeste Rivas Hernandez were found in the trunk of a Tesla registered to rising music star d4vd.

2 - Congressman Jeff Van Drew joins us to kick off the final hour. The conversation starts with a discussion on the Chinese influence in the US, as New Jersey toll roads are being sold to the Chinese and Philadelphia flies the Chinese flag at City Hall. Where has the country's moral compass gone? What is happening with the government shutdown? What does the Republican Party need to realize as it moves forward in its legislative duties? What does Jeff think about the murder on the light rail in Charlotte, as he has been outspoken on curtailing public violence? 215 - Dom's Money Melody! 230 - Humppa! 240 - Hanoi Jane speaks up about the lack of effort in Democrat politicians and how she is creating a PAC of Hollywood personalities to demand change through cash. 250 - The Lightning Round!

When Daniel Lurie was sworn in as San Francisco's 46th mayor in January, he called for "the beginning of a new era of accountability and change at City Hall." Born and raised in the city, Lurie made his name as founder of the Tipping Point Community, a grant-making, anti-poverty nonprofit. During the campaign, Lurie pledged to fix homelessness, improve public safety, and revitalize downtown, among other promises.  In July, after six months in office, the mayor said that he had restructured city government to better provide services, and pointed to progress on crime and a reduction in street encampments. But many challenges remain, including a drug overdose epidemic, an affordability crisis, and a retail vacancy problem. Mayor Lurie joins Commonwealth Club World Affairs to talk about his experience in office so far, and to share his vision for the future of the city. Learn more about your ad choices.

A focus on civics - and a look at his new book - brings Don Woodstock back to TGCTS for Episode 48. There's lots of ideas, opinions and observations on tap!Part 1- Don was among the few Winnipeg residents who actually went to one of the city's "Information Sessions" about the five proposed sites for new supportive housing projects. With good reason, the Property and Development Committee adjourned the Public Hearing to get more details. As Woodstock explains, the fact his questions would not be answered by provincial representatives who would actually be making decisions about the site populations and service providers, was just one of many good reasons to hit the brakes rather than ram approval through. He insists that renovating and revamping existing buildings makes way more economic and administrative sense than handing over city-owned "surplus" properties whose value has never been measured on the open market.21.35 Part 2- Woodstock and his wife each have experience as Transit drivers. Hear why he thinks that the new plan for Community Safety Officers to handle fare enforcement is a smoke-and-mirrors charade to prop up the CSO program instead of hiring actual police. "They have no authority whatsoever."Between the ongoing safety issues and the disastrous new schedules and routing system, Woodstock says it's proof that City Hall doesn't listen to the public and has created dangerous conditions for folks who rely on riding a bus to get to and from work, school and social events. "The real conversation is how Uber has increased their ridership" as a result of people being stranded. 44.30 Part 3- Don Woodstock's new book "Unrelenting" is discussed. It's available at donwoodstockunrelenting.comHe tells his story about growing up in Jamaica, the influence of his grandfather, his commitment to environmental issues, and how he created the momentum for legislative changes to restrict the use of plastic shopping bags. He makes a pitch for ramping up manufacturing of electric buses while noting "the politics is so depressing" undercutting economic development and employment opportunities. "A welfare cheque is not an income, it's a tax on all of us. People need the capacity to earn a real income." *****Coming up on TGCTS- another interview with a candidate in the Elmwood- East Kildonan byelection.

Portland Mayor Keith Wilson sailed into City Hall this year on the back of an ambitious pledge to end unsheltered homelessness. That plan relies heavily on swiftly opening a bunch of overnight-only shelters across town. We’re now nine months into Wilson’s term, and quickly approaching his self-imposed deadline to get everyone off the streets. So let’s check in on the system and its progress. Join us on the latest episode of OPB Politics Now.

Randy Mastro, who served as Chief of Staff and Deputy Mayor for Operations under Mayor Giuliani, talks to Bradley about his return to City Hall this year as the First Deputy Mayor to bolster an Adams administration shaken by key departures but also looking to run through the tape. He explains how social media and hyper-partisanship have made the task of governing harder, goes into detail on how he is helping to address thorny stalemates like horse carriages in Central Park, and argues that the success of any mayoral administration — centrist or socialist — is based on getting the basics right, like safety, services, and jobs.This episode was taped at P&T Knitwear at 180 Orchard Street — New York City's only free podcast recording studio.Send us an email with your thoughts on today's episode: info@firewall.media.Be sure to watch Bradley's new TED Talk on Mobile Voting at https://go.ted.com/bradleytusk.Subscribe to Bradley's weekly newsletter and follow Bradley on Linkedin + Substack + YouTube.

As New York City enters the final stages of a rather strange mayoral election in 2025, let's look back on a decidedly more unusual contest over 110 years ago, pitting Tammany Hall and their estranged ally (Mayor William Jay Gaynor) up against a baby-faced newcomer, the (second) youngest man ever to become the mayor of New York City.John Purroy Mitchel, the Bronx-born grandson of an Irish revolutionary, was a rising star in New York City, aggressively sweeping away incompetence and snipping away at government excess.  Under his watch, two of New York's borough presidents were fired, just for being ineffectual!  Mitchel made an ideal candidate for mayor in an era where Tammany Hall cronyism still dominated the nature of New York City.Nobody could predict the strange events that befell the city during the election of 1913, unfortunate and even bizarre incidents that catapulted this young man to City Hall and gave him the nickname "The Boy Mayor of New York."But things did not turn out as planned. He won his election with the greatest victory margin in New York City history. He left office four years later with an equally large margin of defeat.  Tune in to our tale of this oft-ignored figure in New York City history, an example of good intentions gone wrong and — due to his tragic end — the only mayor honored with a memorial in Central Park.Visit the website for images from this podcast. Get your tickets to the Bowery Boys Ghost Stories of New York City live show at Joe's Pub here.This show is a reissue of a show that originally ran in September 2012; however, we think you'll find more than a few similarities in this tale to the current 2025 mayoral election landscape.
