Episode 268: Chris Coffey On The Yang Mayoral Campaign, Eric Adams & More by Max Politics

Bernie & Sid in the Morning start your Tuesday with a bang today as they dive into reports from the NY Post that the Biden administration is flying illegal migrants into the country in droves and re-settling them in various locations around the country. Several of these flights have landed locally at Westchester County Airport, and the boys welcome on Rob Astorino, who has personally witnessed these flights touch down, to discuss the report and why these trips are being carried out in the middle of the night. If Biden and his incompetent minions actually thought something like this was good for America, then they wouldn't be trying to hide it in the dark of the night. In other local news, NYC Mayoral Candidate Curtis Sliwa joins the program to break shocking news about his opponent Eric Adams' past with the NYPD. The first debate between the two candidates is set to take place tomorrow evening, and you better believe that Sliwa is going to hit that stage locked and loaded ready to expose Eric Adams. Also, the statue of Thomas Jefferson was officially voted to be removed from City Hall yesterday, sparking a debate between Bernie & Sid as to why this happened and what might replace the Founding Father's monument. Along with Astorino and Sliwa, Bo Dietl hops on with Bernie & Sid for his weekly Tuesday morning segment, and Lidia Curanaj offered her two cents on the Thomas Jefferson Statue debacle during her Lidia Reports segment. Finally, make sure you don't miss the Tuesday installment of The Peerless Boilers Beat Bernie Contest.

NYC Mayoral Candidate, Curtis Sliwa rejoins Bernie & Sid in the Morning to go on a DEEP DIVE on Eric Adams.  It's time to give people the truth!    

In which John Heilemann talks with Maya Wiley, the longtime progressive activist and civil rights lawyer who waged a spirited campaign for mayor of New York City earlier this year. Heilemann and Wiley discuss her entry in the race, the highs, lows, and surprises of the campaign, and what the victory of centrist Eric Adams means for NYC and the future of the Democratic Party; the fragile state of American democracy and the threat posed by Trump, the Republican Party, and their perpetuation of the Big Lie about the 2020 election; the Jan. 6 Committee and the stakes of getting to the bottom of the Capitol insurrection; whether Democrats are doing enough to enact voting rights legislation; and the mounting frustrations among Black voters that Biden is falling short on delivering on his campaign promises. Wiley also discusses her plans for the future and ways people can mobilize and fight for change. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Following Mr. Unanue, Peter King joins the program as he usually does on Wednesday's.

In July, Eric Adams narrowly won the Democratic nomination for mayor of New York, making him the odds-on favorite to win in November. And he won the nomination by running directly against the verities of today's progressives: asserting that the police are the answer, not the problem; that “defund the police” misjudged what communities of color actually want; that Democrats had lost touch with the multiracial working-class voters they claim to represent.Adams won on that message. He won in deep-blue New York City. It's made him a national figure, and he's been emphatic on what that means. “I am the face of the new Democratic Party,” he said. And “if the Democratic Party fails to recognize what we did here in New York, they're going to have a problem in the midterm elections and they're going to have a problem in the presidential election.”When politicians become national stories, they often release, or rerelease, a book. Adams is no exception. But instead of a campaign manifesto or an autobiography, “Healthy at Last” is a book about the health benefits of plant-based eating. “Outspoken vegan” isn't a political identity I tend to associate with ambitious politicians at odds with the progressive wing of the Democratic Party, but that's Adams for you. He doesn't shy away from a fight.In this conversation, Adams and I talk about the fights he is picking, or will have to pick, in the coming years: with progressives who he thinks have lost their way, with police unions he wants to reform, with wealthy communities where he wants to build more housing, with critics who think plant-based eating is a hobby for foodie elites and with voters who may not be willing to wait for Adams's “upstream” approach to social problems to pay off.Book Recommendations:Healthy At Last by Eric AdamsBreaking The Habit of Being Yourself by Joe DispenzaYou Are The Placebo by Joe DispenzaUpstream by Dan HeathAtomic Habits by James ClearYou can find transcripts (posted midday) and more episodes of "The Ezra Klein Show" at nytimes.com/ezra-klein-podcast, and you can find Ezra on Twitter @ezraklein.

Bernie & Sid in the Morning wraps up this week with a chock full of the day's news and entertainment. Sid returns from a sick day feeling much better and ready to rock with his partner in crime Bernie. The boys tackle the ongoing situation on Riker's Island as Mayor Bill de Blasio and Governor Kathy Hochul had plenty of time to spend with Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, but apparently couldn't find a minute to see for themselves how disastrous the scene at the prison actually is.  You know who else hasn't been to Riker's Island? Democratic Mayoral candidate Eric Adams. You know who visits the island at least once a week to check on the wellbeing of its staff? Republican Mayoral candidate Curtis Sliwa. If that fact alone doesn't tell you who the right man is to lead this city then Bernie & Sid don't know what will. How about the right person to lead the entire state? The boys welcome candidate for Governor of New York Lee Zeldin to the program to discuss why he believes he is the right man to govern New York. Also joining the show today is actor and fitness preacher Peter Gaudio and 2x Tony Nominee Constantine Maroulis. Don't miss this week's final installments of Lidia Reports and The Peerless Boilers Beat Bernie Contest.

On Monday's Mark Levin Show, Article II, Section I, Clause 2 is clear that it gives the broadest power to the state legislatures to decide the time, manner, and place of its elections. In the contested election of 2000, the Supreme Court stepped in to defend the Constitution. In the 2020 election, they refused to intervene in the state of Pennsylvania's overreach. On Sunday, Justice Steven Breyer said that none of the cases brought met the criteria of having four Justices agree to take the case. This program has repeatedly made the case that the Constitution is clear that each state shall appoint the electors they see fit. Breyer was wrong and never cited which criteria he was referring to. Then, serial lying from the Biden Administration continues to go unchecked by the media. Even FDA officials are stepping down because they disagree with President Biden and Anthony Fauci's push for booster shots. Forcing people to get vaccinated is not the same as keeping a clean workplace under OSHA standards. Later, Secretary Antony Blinken is questioned by members of Congress and offers little in his responses on Afghanistan. When pressed on why nothing is being done to get Americans out of Afghanistan, Blinken said he was unaware of any such problems. Afterward, Curtis Sliwa, the Republican candidate for Mayor of New York City joins the show to explain how he's in the battle for a lifetime to save the City of New York. His opponent Eric Adams poses as a moderate when he's as far to the left as Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and was mentored by Al Sharpton. Finally, California is no longer the land of opportunity, and it needs to be helped by Larry Elder.

The Other Side of Midnight Host, Frank Morano joins in on Bernie & Sid in the Morning to talk on Eric Adams vs Curtis Sliwa to be the next mayor of NYC, and the fact that anything can happen between now and the next collection.

This is an encore episode of “The View.” The co-hosts will return Tuesday, Sept. 7 LIVE for our season 25 premiere and celebration! New York City mayoral candidate Eric Adams shares about his plan for a “holistic approach” when to comes to dealing with violence “prevention” and “intervention,” and how he'll address NYPD misconduct. Then, actress Connie Britton discusses how her new movie “Joe Bell” will teach viewers to be a better ally to the LGBTQ+ community and filming “The White Lotus” in Hawaii amid the pandemic. In Hot Topics, the co-hosts weigh in on Tennessee's top COVID official being fired over vaccine guidelines, and more.

Emma hosts Jon N. Hale, Associate Professor of Education Policy, Organization, and Leadership at the University of Illinois, to discuss his recent book The Choice We Face: How Segregation, Race, and Power Have Shaped America's Most Controversial Education Reform Movement, on the misrepresentation of the “school choice” debate at the behest of the profit motive. Professor Hale gives Emma the run down, stemming all the way back to the responses to Brown v. Board, of how the concept of “school choice” was birthed from the liberal desire to have segregation, without appearing as a segregationist, building up to the Zelman v. Harris case that approved public funding for vouchers in 2004. Next, he and Emma dive into how terms like “taxpayer” and “bussing” allowed for liberals to simply object to the interference in the “educational marketplace,” looking at how this neoliberal theory hooked into the Republican Party of the 60s, 70s, and 80s, providing the privilege to design how our school system should look to the white and wealthy when Brown v. Board was supposed to make it more equitable, before the Clintons and moderate Dems of the 90s cemented it as the system of American education. With the Gatesian influence on education in the 2000s, Emma and Jon look into how the profit motive and the drive of “efficiency” have seen a complete deflation of the American public school system over the last century, resulting in Eric Adams' recent pitch for a 300:1 student to teacher ratio, before they touch on the inflammatory effects of the pandemic on the institution. They round out the interview by touching a little more on recent organizing for charter schools, both from white communities and communities of color, what a world that commits entirely to either public schooling OR school choice would look like, and how teachers unions have consistently been construed as the villain of the story. Emma wraps up the first half by touching on the “mod squad's” obstructionism on behalf of their wealthy suburban constituents. And in the Fun Half: Nomiki joins as the MR crew discusses the necessary emphasis on self-determination in addressing the future of foreign policy in Afghanistan, requiring a turn away from neoliberal foreign relations and an over-reliance on elite NGOs. Teacher Lauren calls in to discuss her experiences with charter schooling and what documentaries she feels appropriately get at the issues, JD Vance pulls some Islamophobic fear-mongering right out of his ass live on Tucker Carlson, Donna Shalala calls out centrist Dems obstructionism, and Pradeep calls in from up north to remind any Canadian listeners to register to vote. The crew hits on some key pop culture issues for millennials (whether Harry Potter was ever cool, the NFC East, and Applebees), plus, your calls and IMs!

We live in the most prosperous nation on Earth—and yet we've never been more unhealthy. Chronic illness is killing us and bankrupting our economy. 70% of Americans are obese or overweight, and by 2030, 50% of Americans will be diabetic or pre-diabetic.It's insanity—and a reality that today's guest lived, transmuted, and has committed his life to changing.Meet New York City's first vegan mayor, Eric Adams.At age 54, Eric woke up unable to read his alarm clock. Concerned about his vision and numbness in his extremities, he reluctantly went to the doctor, who delivered a grim diagnosis of advanced Type II diabetes. Progressive eyesight loss was inevitable. His nerve damage was leading him on a path to amputation. Going on a battery of medications for the rest of his life was a given.Refusing to believe his fate was sealed, Eric decided instead to take matters into his own hands. Rather than googling ‘living with diabetes‘, instead he googled ‘reversing diabetes'. What he found was a plethora of support, science, and experts — many of which have appeared on this show — that inspired him to ditch his lifelong allegiance to the standard American diet in favor of a whole food plant-based diet.Within weeks of this nutritional shift and without any medication whatsoever, Eric's symptoms subsided and his diabetes indeed reversed. His vision returned. His nerves repaired themselves. In the months that followed, he lowered his cholesterol by 30 points. He dropped 35 pounds. And a new lease on life was signed.Now five years hence, Eric is the fittest he's ever been. His remarkable transformation inspired him to create radical initiatives as Brooklyn Borough President to improve the nutrition, health, and lives of New Yorkers and beyond. A commitment he's adamant about expanding as New York's next mayor.Those who have followed this mayoral race closely know it's essentially been focused on one issue: law and order. Lost in the media cycle about today's guest, however, is his incredible commitment to revolutionizing health policy, the direct result of his very personal experience with chronic lifestyle disease. So today we dive into Eric's remarkable journey from ill to well, and the purpose-driven mission it has birthed within him to revolutionize health not just in NYC, but across America.I suspect you will end this exchange wanting to know more, in which case you should check out Eric's book, Healthy At Last: A Plant-Based Approach to Preventing and Reversing Diabetes and Other Chronic Illnesses.I appreciate Eric for taking time out of his busy schedule to talk to me. We only had a tight hour—but we really made the most of it.To read more click here. You can also watch listen to our exchange on YouTube (audio only—we didn't film this one).

The New York City mayoral primary, which culminated in a vote held in June, was full of surprises, including the introduction of ranked-choice voting to a confused electorate, and the presence of Andrew Yang, a newcomer to municipal politics who quickly attained front-runner status. But the winning Democrat was no surprise. Eric Adams is the borough president of Brooklyn and a former state senator, making him an establishment favorite. He was also, for more than two decades, a police officer. With policing at the center of public attention since last year's uprising of the Black Lives Matter movement, Adams occupies a unique position in the debate. He was a firebrand in the N.Y.P.D. and an advocate for Black officers; and he was, as a teen-age boy, a victim of police abuse himself. But Adams is also a strong defender of the police department. He has spoken about the correct way to implement stop-and-frisk policies, which have been previously carried out in ways that were ruled unconstitutional. He rebuked candidates to his left who talked about defunding the force. And he made the national spike in violent crime part of his candidacy, when others focussed their platforms elsewhere.     The nation's cities face a budgetary crisis, the COVID crisis, a crisis of confidence in policing, and more. Adams doesn't seem fazed. “We need to be very honest that our city is dysfunctional. And it always has been for a large number of New Yorkers,” he told David Remnick. “I could take you throughout the city where the conditions have remained the same through mayor after mayor. What I must do is stop the dysfunctionality of a city that has normalized being dysfunctional.” Remnick spoke with Adams on July 21, 2021.

Democrats in New York picked ex-cop Eric Adams as their mayoral nominee; he's likely to win.
