Joe Flaherty was a dock worker and high school dropout on the wrong side of 30 when he found an unexpected writer's life beginning as a columnist for the Village Voice. A couple years later, he was running the 51st State campaign of Norman Mailer and Jimmy Breslin as two of the city's most famous writers made their bid to run it on a 51st State platform built around the idea of giving New Yorkers more control of their own neighborhoods and slogans including “No More Bullshit” and “The Other Guys Are The Joke.” Joe's son Liam joins Lit NYC to talk about the very different Park Slope he grew up in, what his father accomplished in his short life before succumbing to prostate cancer at just 47 years old, what his dad would make of Mamdani's new era, and much more.

New Yorkers are slogging through the late winter blues, and in this week's arts and culture check in, WNYC and Gothamist arts and culture editor Matthew Schnipper joins us to talk about why February can feel especially brutal, a packed spring concert calendar including Shelter's 35th anniversary, Mayor Mamdani's latest cultural references, the Tin Building's pivot to a balloon museum, and a major new digital archive project at the Center for Brooklyn History.

(Feb 26, 2026) Nearly half a million New Yorkers will soon have to prove they're working or looking for work to stay on federal food assistance benefits; Champlain Area Trails, or CATS, recently acquired a 700-acre property in Essex County; and we have a conversation with a Black gospel scholar about how the genre has evolved ahead of his visit to St. Lawrence University tomorrow.

Thousands of New Yorkers will converge on the State Capitol in Albany on Wednesday to urge lawmakers to support increasing taxes on the wealthiest New Yorkers and the state's largest corporations. We kicked of the Tax the Rich edition of The Indypendent News Hour by speaking with Divya Sundaram of Our Time for an Affordable New York, one of the groups playing a key role in organizing Wednesday's lobbying day in Albany.

In this episode, we see why it will be benefit the collective to tax the rich. In the first segment, we zoom into Albany where thousands of New Yorkers will lobby their representatives to tax the rich. We speak to Divya Sundaram of Our Time for an Affordable New York on what they hope to achieve. In our second segment, we speak to Indy contributors, Lyna Bentahar and John Morris about their recent articles on the pathologies shared by many members of the super-rich and why they are so prone to freaking out about small increases in their taxes that would do a vast amount of good for the rest of society. In our third segment, we speak to Andy Tobias, an investor, best-selling author and member of Patriotic Millionaires, a network of high-wealth individuals that advocates for higher taxes on people like themselves. Tobias told The Indypendent News Hour that multi-millionaires and billionaires can easily afford to pay higher taxes nationally and in the State of New York to help fund high quality essential public services and reduce the runaway economic inequality that is destabilizing the U.S. political system. Tune into an insightful episode and pick up the latest Indy issue for more on what we discussed here.

NY Health is a single payer universal health care proposal for NY. Instead of private health insurance, all New Yorkers would be covered - with no premiums, co-pays or deductibles. Despite majority support in both houses of the legislature, enactment of the program has been blocked by the insurance and drug companies. Julie Schwartzberg and Ayanthi Gunawadana of Working People for Health discuss the proposal with Mark Dunlea of the Hudson Mohawk Magazine. There will be a lobby day in Albany on March 17 and a rally at NYC CIty Hall on March 8.

The NYPD had several officers attacked in New York City Monday...as a crowd was pelting officers with snowballs. Most were horrified at this attack on NYPD officers...but Zohran Mamdani barely addressed the attack publicly. We discuss the attack on the NYPD...and the lack of response from Zohran Mamdani. We question whether Zohran Mamdani is intentionally combative with the NYPD...hoping to make life miserable for New Yorkers. We explain why we believe Zohran Mamdani wants to turn New York City into an Islamic paradise...and the disastrous effects it would have on the rest of America.

New emails show Joe Biden's White House and DOJ were coordinating months in advance of the raid on Mar a Lago and purposefully lied to cover that fact up. Breaking News about the raw sewage nightmare in the Potomac - and about still missing Nancy Guthrie. Zohran Mamdani asks New Yorkers to help shovel the Big Apple out of a monster blizzard, but only if they provide multiple forms of ID. As MAGA howls over the irony, perhaps Mamdani is offering a way for illegals to register to vote.

One more storm, many more mountains of snow for winter-weary New Yorkers to slog through and a second chance for Zohran Mamdani to show he's up to his endless blizzard of a job. FAQ NYC hosts Christina Greer and Harry Siegel dig into all that and more, including Mamdani's dubious threat to raise property taxes in the city if Albany doesn't hike taxes on the rich and what that shows about who's missing from his inner circle.

Hey everybody, I'm Dustin Breeze, your AI meteorologist. I process massive datasets instantly, so you get hyper-accurate forecasts fast!Well folks, buckle up because New York City is about to get absolutely blanketed! We are talking a major winter storm moving in tonight and I could not be more excited. Seriously, this is the kind of weather event that gets meteorologists like me out of bed at three in the morning.Here's what's happening. A powerful low pressure system is sliding down from Canada, and it's bringing a blizzard warning to the five boroughs. Tonight into Monday, we're expecting ten to sixteen inches of heavy snow overnight, then another four to eight inches on Monday. The wind is going to be absolutely vicious too, gusting up to forty-eight miles per hour. You could say this storm really knows how to make an entrance! Wind chills are going to feel like twenty to twenty-five Fahrenheit, so bundle up New Yorkers!Monday during the day, the snow continues mainly before four in the afternoon with heavy snow at times and blowing snow creating some pretty hazardous conditions. You're definitely going to want to avoid traveling if you can. High temperature of just thirty-five Fahrenheit, so it stays cold all day.By Monday night, things start to calm down a bit. The snow tapers off and skies gradually clear. Northwest winds relax to twenty-two to twenty-four miles per hour. Tuesday looks much better with mostly sunny skies and a high near thirty-one. That's when you can finally dig out!Now let's jump into our Weather Playbook segment. Today I want to talk about wind chill. A lot of people think wind chill is just wind speed plus temperature, but it's actually way more fascinating than that. Wind chill measures how fast exposed skin loses heat when wind is present. The stronger the wind, the faster that heat escapes your body, making it feel way colder than the actual temperature. So when we're talking twenty Fahrenheit with forty-eight mile per hour gusts, your skin could get frostbite in about thirty minutes. That's serious stuff folks, so respect the cold!Here's your three-day forecast. Tonight through Monday: blizzard conditions with fourteen to twenty-four inches of total accumulation. Highs Monday around thirty-five Fahrenheit. Tuesday: mostly sunny, high thirty-one Fahrenheit. Wednesday: snow likely before ten in the morning, then rain between ten and one, high near forty-two Fahrenheit.This is the kind of storm that reminds us why New Yorkers are tough. You guys have weathered worse, but stay safe out there. Don't forget to subscribe to the podcast for more weather excitement.

In today's episode, Tom sits down with co-host Drew to unpack the Dutch government's controversial proposal: a 36% tax on unrealized capital gains. Together, they dive deep into the potential consequences for investors, entrepreneurs, and the broader economy—explaining how taxing money you never actually receive could force harmful decisions, crush incentives, and reshape the landscape for startups and long-term investments. You'll hear examples that bring these abstract policies to life, why real estate and certain startup investments get exemptions, and the possible ripple effects for both average investors and major players like Elon Musk. Plus, Tom lays out his vision for a simpler, fairer tax system to solve the core issues plaguing economies today. If you're curious about wealth taxes, economic reform, and the real-world impact of government policies, this conversation is a must-listen. Tom and Drew dive into the controversial property tax hike proposed by Zoran Mamdani in New York City—a move that arrives less than two months after Mamdani campaigned on freezing rents and protecting working-class New Yorkers. Together, Tom Bilyeu and Drew break down how NYC's budget has ballooned over the past two decades, while city services and quality of life have declined. Tom and co-host Drew dive into one of the most urgent and tense global topics—are we on the brink of World War III? With U.S., Iranian, Russian, and Chinese warships converging off Iran's coast, negotiations over nuclear deals underway, and military buildups at unprecedented levels, Tom breaks down the complex web of alliances, threats, and geopolitical maneuvers that are fueling anxiety worldwide.

While the national news cycle may have moved on from the chaos in Minnesota surrounding Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the deeper story is only beginning to surface.   What happened in Minneapolis wasn't spontaneous, but the result of weeks of astroturfed chaos following expanded federal immigration enforcement and a fatal ICE-involved shooting that ignited demonstrations across the state.    To truly understand how the situation spiraled, you have to understand who helped fuel the unrest and who financed the networks that kept it going.    That's exactly what Daily Wire reporter Brecca Stoll has been investigating. She joins the latest episode of “Problematic Women” to unpack the money, organizations and political forces operating behind the scenes.    And don't think we've forgotten about New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani. About one month into his tenure, he now faces the reality of governing the nation's largest municipal economy.    Conservatives warned his democratic socialist promises would collide with real-life fiscal and political constraints.

This is the All Local 4pm update for February 20, 2025

A man in a wig shoots up his kid's hockey game, and the one thing you cannot say is the most obvious thing in the room. David and Brad trace the through-line from the Rhode Island rink to Canadian schools to the Trump shooting and ask: if this were the Gambino family, would we notice a pattern? Spoiler: yes. Also: the Savannah Guthrie disappearance, homeless New Yorkers dying on Mamdani's watch, and why what's coming down the pike might also be coming down the pipe.

Feb. 19, 2026- We explore legislation that would prohibit certain food additives and promote greater disclosure of what's in the food consumed by New Yorkers. We talk about the bill and the approach of state regulators with Jensen Jose, regulatory counsel for the Center for Science in the Public Interest.

Feb. 19, 2026- Gov. Kathy Hochul is proposing to eliminate $230,000 in state funds for programs that help vulnerable New Yorkers living in adult homes advocate for better living conditions. We talked with representatives from the Coalition of Institutionalized Aged and Disabled and the Alliance for Rights and Recovery, plus peer advocate and former adult home resident Deborah Hunter.

Zohran Mamdani's plan to fix New York City's budget crisis involves pressuring Albany to soak the rich with higher income taxes on millionaires and bigger levies on profitable corporations, claiming it's the "fairest" way to avoid hurting working families. If state leaders refuse, he threatens a massive 9.5% city property tax hike as a backup, which would slam homeowners, co-op residents, and middle-class New Yorkers. This ultimatum-style approach is designed to force higher taxes on the wealthy by holding property owners hostage.

NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani announced his brand new $127 Billion dollar annual budget, it was nice knowing you New York.......Mayor Zohran Mamdani unveiled a record $127 billion budget Tuesday — with an ultimatum to Albany to tax the rich or he'll slap the Big Apple with a massive property tax hike.The democratic socialist framed his proposal — which would also include pulling from the city's $10 billion rainy day fund — as a “last resort” to balance the budget if Gov. Kathy Hochul doesn't agree to increase taxes on millionaires. “I do not want to raise property taxes,” Mamdani said of his preliminary budget plan, which would hike property taxes 9.5% to raise an additional $3.7 billion in the next fiscal year.“When faced with this crisis, the question is who should pay these taxes? I believe that it should be the wealthiest New Yorkers, the most profitable corporations. I believe that they can afford to pay a little bit more,” Mamdani said.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Mark interviews author Ann Coulter. Ann explains the reason she said a few years ago that former Senator Joseph McCarthy gets a bad rap. Former President Bill Clinton has historically invoked it as a negative benchmark for political attacks, labeling aggressive, partisan, or smear-based tactics as "McCarthyism." He notably used this comparison to criticize Republicans in 1992, 2012, and 2026 and make them look bad. Ann wrote about all this and explained in detail what she saw and meant about how Bill Clinton navigated his political career to bash McCarthy's actions and put him as the reason Republicans are the way they are today.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

New York City is staring down the barrel of another self inflicted crisis and this time it is coming straight from City Hall. Mayor Mamdani is now pushing for higher taxes while simultaneously calling for a raid on the city’s so called rainy day fund. That fund exists for emergencies. Instead he wants to burn through it to prop up a failing fiscal vision built on bigger government and heavier burdens on the very people who keep the city alive. On this episode of Stinchfield, Grant exposes how this dangerous combination of tax hikes and reckless spending could accelerate the unraveling of New York’s already fragile real estate market. Property owners are squeezed. Developers are hesitating. Small landlords are being crushed. And when the cost of living skyrockets, it is not just billionaires who leave. It is police officers, firefighters, entrepreneurs, and families who simply cannot afford to stay. The result is predictable. As New York doubles down on policies that punish productivity, states like Florida, Texas, and Tennessee are preparing for another wave of Americans looking for freedom, affordability, and sanity. Real estate agents in those states are not worried about a slowdown. They are preparing for an influx of former New Yorkers who have had enough. Grant connects the dots between ideological governance and economic reality, explaining why policies rooted in redistribution and government expansion often hollow out the very tax base they rely on. When the middle class flees, the city does not get more equitable. It gets poorer, weaker, and more divided. This is not just about New York. It is a warning for every major city tempted to follow the same path. If you want to understand how quickly a financial capital can be pushed toward decline, you do not want to miss this conversation. https://TheMaverickSystem.comhttps://GrantLovesGold.comhttps://www.EnergizedHealth.com/Granthttps://www.PatriotMobile.com/Granthttps://Twc.Health/Grant Use code Grant for 10% offhttps://VRAInsider.com See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
