Lionel does a deep dive into the political landscape on election eve. Lionel tackles the impending outcome of a highly contentious race, lamenting the pervasive ignorance and complete distraction from reality displayed by many voters. The core discussion centers on the New York election involving Curtis Sliwa, Andrew Cuomo, and Zohran Mamdani. Lionel stresses the urgency of the situation, arguing that the "threat that is posed by Mamdani is so great nothing matters". Despite respecting Curtis, Lionel says Cuomo is the only choice based on "the naked truth of arithmetic and numbers" to stop Mamdani, whom he views as a "sock puppet" and a "proxy" for unseen influencers. Listen as Lionel dissects the "absurd thoughts" and "circular reasoning" that dominate the discourse, including questions like, "Why can't we vote for both?" and proposals that Cuomo should hire Curtis as his police commissioner. Lionel expresses his belief that mandatory classes on "rudimentary psephology" (the study of elections and voting) are necessary because "nobody understands anything about this". The episode also touches on Mamdani's controversial policy proposals. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Lionel dissects the bitter enmity between candidates Curtis Sliwa and Andrew Cuomo, and the perceived "existential threat" of Zohran Mamdani, who promises "unicorns and puppy dogs" alongside free buses and healthcare. The discussion pivots between intense electoral analysis, the relitigation of Cuomo's past controversies regarding nursing homes and his resignation, and essential threats like AI. Featuring incredible listener calls, including a jaw-dropping interview with a retired NYPD officer who survived 14 heart attacks and won two robbery attempts, this episode delivers passionate, unfiltered debate that goes beyond mere summary.

This episode dives into Election Eve pandemonium, focusing on the contentious New York race involving Curtis Sliwa, Andrew Cuomo, and Zohran Mamdani. Lionel argues intensely that only Cuomo is mathematically viable to stop Mamdani, whom he views as a "sock puppet" and a "dangerous ideologue" pushing radical promises like defunding the NYPD and "free buses". The conversation dissects pervasive voter ignorance, the threat of a "shadow government" allowing unchecked Artificial Intelligence (AI) to advance 5-15 years ahead of political debate, and the fear of manufactured crises—like the end of SNAP benefits—leading to mayhem and martial law. Lionel exposes the cultural anxiety shattering voters' identities and the operational failures of government, ultimately revealing why AI, not ideology or free food, is the true existential threat.

On the eve of a pivotal election in the Big Apple, Michael talks with Frank Morano—radio veteran and newly-minted member of the New York City Council. Together they dissect the fierce mayoral contest in New York City: Why are the polls so unpredictable? What role does talk radio play in shaping public perception and turnout?

A must-listen for anyone tracking urban politics, voter behavior and how one race could ripple far beyond the five boroughs. Original air date 3 November 2025.

It's day 34 of the government shutdown which is posed to be the longest ever as Republicans and Democrats appear to be at an impasse. President Trump has called for the "nuclear option," ending the filibuster which requires 60 votes to reopen the government. On the eve of the 2025 elections, Jim McLaughlin is here to give expert insight into tomorrow's elections. In Virginia, Abigail Spanberger is leading Winsome Earle-Sears for the Governor's race, even getting an endorsement from the NAACP. Jason Miyares has had the lead for Attorney General against Jay Jones since early October. Jay Jones is still in the race even after text messages revealed a dark, demented fantasy about him wanting to kill his political opponents and their family. In New Jersey, Jack Ciattarelli is in a neck and neck race with Mikie Sherrill, McLaughlin says New Jersey is ready for change and most people are worried about affordability. Ciattarelli has picked up support in counties President Trump did well, as well as seeing support from black voters. In New York City, while Zohran Mamdani shows a significant lead in polling, the candidates are so untraditional this race is much closer than people think. New Yorkers have to choose between a radical Socialist Zohran Mamdani and a scandal plagued independent Andrew Cuomo. Curtis Sliwa does not have the support of Trump voters which has really hindered his campaign. McLaughlin thinks this race will be close as Mamdani has a 67% unfavorability rating in Long Island and the Hudson Valley.

With the New York City mayoral election just days away, many Americans outside the city are following the race closely to see if the previously unknown democratic-socialist assemblyman Zohran Mamdani will defeat former Gov.

New York City will pick its next mayor on Tuesday. While the Democrat Zohran Mamdani remains the frontrunner, independent Andrew Cuomo has cut into his lead in recent polls. Trailing behind both is Republican Curtis Sliwa. Critics of Sliwa, including many in his own party, say his decision not to drop out of the race despite trailing significantly gives Mamdani an advantage. Earlier this week, Curtis Sliwa spoke with FOX News Rundown host Jessica Rosenthal about the race, why he says his policies are the best to ‘save' New York City, and why he has resisted pressure from all sides to drop out. Sliwa, a former New York City talk radio host, also addressed comments that he's responsible for the ‘rise' of Democrat Socialist Mamdani and pushed back against accusations that he's running solely for financial benefit. We often have to cut interviews short during the week, but we thought you might like to hear the full interview. Today on Fox News Rundown Extra, we will share our entire interview with Republican New York City mayoral candidate Curtis Sliwa. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

We're just about a week out from Election Day, and I have to say, this is what I live for. These are the kind of stories that really scratch the itch for anybody who loves the game of politics as much as I do. We've got real contests, real dollars behind them, and actual electoral stakes. Yes, I know it's not a presidential year, but this is the sandbox where some serious groundwork gets laid. And for as much as I hate the off-off-year calendar, I love election season more than anything. Here's my breakdown of where I think the chips are going to fall in November.Politics Politics Politics is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.Starting in California, we've got Prop 50. Gavin Newsom has staked a big chunk of political capital on this one. It's pitched as a pushback on Republican redistricting, with the messaging ultimately landing on “protecting America from Trump.” What started off messy got refined quickly, and with Newsom's team sticking the landing, I see a 10 to 15 point win. McCarthy was supposed to pour in $100 million to fight it, but as of now, the actual spending is suspiciously light. All that adds up to a clear Democratic win.Now onto Virginia: Winsome Earl Sears vs. Abigail Spanberger. I'm heading up to D.C. this weekend, and originally thought I'd be bouncing around Virginia to catch campaign stops. But Sears? She's nowhere to be found. Spanberger, while not the most electrifying candidate, has managed to avoid major blunders post-Jay Jones scandal. The polling tells a consistent story; Spanberger holding a lead that's grown since the scandal broke. I'm calling it Spanberger by eight. Could be tighter, but it's hard to see Sears overcoming the fundamentals working against her.As for Jay Jones, man, what a collapse. DUI, community service for his own super PAC, and leaked texts about shooting a rival politician? That's how you lose an election. Miyares hasn't trailed since that story broke. Nate Silver might be holding out hope, pointing to early voting and ticket-splitting, but my money's on Miyares by one. A close one, but still a loss for Jones. This scandal made a difference, period.New Yorkers better get ready for Mayor Zohran Mamdani. He hasn't been behind at all in public polling, all while Cuomo is clawing for relevance. Meanwhile, Curtis Sliwa isn't pulling enough Republican support to matter to anyone but Cuomo. The energy just isn't there for a last-minute surprise. Mamdani by 13.And then there's New Jersey. The Mikie Sherrill vs. Jack Ciattarelli race is the sleeper of the night. Sherrill has led for most of the race, but recent polling has things tightening. Trafalgar and Coefficient both show her up by one. Republicans are feeling bullish, and if this ends within three points, they'll have reason to. That would mean New Jersey, at minimum, becomes a fringe battleground in 2028. Not quite Arizona-level swing, but enough to force Democrats to spend real money defending it. I'm predicting Sherrill wins — but just barely.Chapters00:00:00 - Intro00:03:32 - Election Predictions00:23:08 - Update00:24:53 - Trade Deals00:30:58 - Shutdown00:38:10 - Israel00:44:36 - Interview with Austin Padgett01:38:03 - Wrap-up This is a public episode.

Still, Grant Stinchfield is calling it what it is: a desperate power grab by a failed governor trying to polish his record for a national audience. In this episode, Grant goes through every supposed “policy success” of Newsom’s — from homelessness to crime to education to taxes — and can’t find a single real win for the people of California. The Golden State is crumbling under his watch, and now he wants to do to America what he did to California, ruin it. Plus, Grant issues a clear call for Andrew Cuomo to step out of the race for New York City Mayor — not Curtis Sliwa — making the case that Cuomo’s scandals and authoritarian record have no place in American leadership. He will only prolong the misery of New York while creating more Zohran Mamdani's.
