New York City in 2025 is a paradox. On one hand, the city is seeing murders and shootings fall to near-historic lows. On the other, major felonies are still well above pre-pandemic levels, and for many New Yorkers, the city just doesn't feel as safe. This is the complex reality facing Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani, who won a surprise victory on a democratic-socialist platform focused on affordability and a new approach to public safety. And his response is one of the most ambitious public safety experiments in American history. At the heart of his platform is a complete philosophical shift. For over a century, public safety has been defined by policing and punishment—a reactive model that addresses crime after it happens. Mamdani's incoming administration is asking a different question: What if we treated violence not as a moral failing, but as a public health crisis? Like a disease, it spreads through exposure, clusters in specific areas, and can be contained by treating the underlying conditions: poverty, housing instability, and a lack of mental health care.

Send us a textGUEST: ALEX NEWMAN, president, Liberty Sentinel MediaIt's America's largest and most well-known city. It's the financial center of the country and even the world for free markets. Twenty-four years ago, the most prominent buildings in the city—the World Trade Center—crumbled to the ground after Islamists hijacked commercial airplanes and flew them into the buildings, causing nearly 3000 deaths.So how to explain that New York City just elected a Muslim socialist to be its mayor?Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani is not moderate. He is anti-Israel at his core. And he's anti-American—he is a self-identifying member of the Democratic Socialists of America, which opposes traditional American values of limited government, individual liberties, and free markets. In short, Mamdani is the personification of the “Red-Green Alliance,” the intersectional partnership of Communists and Islamists with the common goal of toppling America and Christianity.The left won almost everywhere in the first election since President Trump entered the White House this past January. Virginians voted for a Democrat super-majority in their state. Seattle elected a Democrat Socialist for mayor and Minneapolis nearly did as well.In a recent program, we discussed the rise of Islam in Western Europe and how the line may have been crossed for an Islamic future. But is the same thing happening in America, in places like New York City, Dearborn, Michigan, Minneapolis, and in Texas, where a large Islamic development is being proposed near Dallas?Alex Newman, Christian author and journalist at Liberty Sentinel Media, joins us this weekend on The Christian Worldview to discuss the rise of Islam in America and why it needs to be stopped. He will also discuss other events nationally and abroad, including the rise in political violence on the left and anti-Israel sentiment on the right.----------------------Manger in Danger for a donation for $30 or more - A new family Christmas tradition!

We had the opportunity to sit down with Mayor-Elect Jared Littmann for a wide-reaching interview about the daunting task of running Annapolis for the next four years. We discussed his plans for crime, for management, his goals, and what keeps him up at night. What was evident is that this administration is going to be decidedly different from the past one. If you want to get to know our next Mayor... Have a listen!

When tax officials and law enforcement do manage to recover assets and money from criminals, what happens next? How are those seizures used to benefit taxpayers and society? We think there are lots of missed opportunities here and the Taxcast goes to West Yorkshire in the North of England to see social reuse of seized assets in action. It's pretty heartening. Plus: President Donald Trump has pardoned convicted money launderer Changpeng Zhao, the billionaire founder of the world's biggest cryptocurrency exchange, Binance. We speak to Scott Greytak of Transparency International US about what this means for the financial integrity of the US financial system and the ramifications for the rest of the world.

     Mary Anastasia O'grady reports on the assassination of Mayor Carlos Monzo in Michoacán, killed after leaving President Sheinbaum's Morena party and aggressively confronting cartels and their agricultural extortion. Sheinbaum has cooperated smartly with the US, allowing surveillance flights, and hired credible security chief García Haruch. The main challenge is whether Sheinbaum has the political will to confront the cartels, especially given the widespread belief in Morena's complicity. Guest: Mary Anastasia O'Grady.

New York City's mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani defines himself as a democratic socialist, yet his critics have seized on his leftist identity to paint him as an extremist. Carlo Invernizzi-Accetti, professor of political science and executive director of the Moynihan Center at The City College of New York, and author of 20 Years of Rage: How Resentment Took the Place of Politics (Mondadori, 2024) explains the core principles of the various strains of thought on the left to paint a clearer picture of what Mamdani believes in and how he'll govern as mayor.

  Will future wars be decided by who controls space—cyber and outer—and which superpower has better paired geostrategic thinking with emerging technologies? Anne Neuberger, the Hoover Institution's William C. Edwards Distinguished Visiting Fellow and a former White House and Pentagon cyber policy advisor, joins GoodFellows regulars Sir Niall Ferguson, John H. Cochrane, and Lt. Gen. H.R. McMaster to discuss what she sees as a “cyber gap” between China and America, the need for the US to rethink traditional weapons platforms (hello, drones), plus how Dwight Eisenhower's warning of a “military industry complex” is being redefined by the tech sector's growing role in present-day and future warfare. After that: the three fellows weigh the significance of a utopian socialist recently elected mayor of a very capitalist New York City, a new “algocracy” (algorithms running the government) in Albania, the UK's fabled BBC in hot water over alleged editorial bias, plus whether the “war of the tomorrow” may be in . . . Venezuela? Subscribe to GoodFellows for clarity on today's biggest social, economic, and geostrategic shifts — only on GoodFellows.

   Homeland security is now taking aim at the non citizen mayor of Coldwater, KS for voting illegally and criminal convictions in his past.  Hey, they told us this never happens.  If he's been a fraud for 40 years in Kansas, how many more are there nationwide.  We have a lot of work to do.    Right in the middle of an interview segment bashing President Trump and Jeffrey Epstein, the host reads a legal disclaimer prepared by lawyers.  You have to hear this.    KC has federal money in fund to buy new busses but they won't be purchasing.  They need it to operate during the World Cup instead.  It's crazy how they are stealing our money to host this event.   In sports, I have a bold prediction about the New England Patriots, Lee Sterling of www.paramountsports.com is here with his picks for MU, KSU and the Chiefs and our song of the week is a wonderful history lesson you will enjoy.

Brooklyn Councilwoman Inna Vernikov joins the program to discuss her invitation to Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu to attend Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani's inauguration in January. Vernikov highlights her disdain for Mayor-Elect Mamdani, labeling him a socialist and anti-Israel. She praises outgoing Mayor Eric Adams for at least verbally standing against Hamas. Vernikov aims to expose Mamdani's threats to arrest Netanyahu as fraudulent and criticizes his focus on anti-Israel policies. In the interview, she asserts her commitment to serving her constituents, acknowledges the support she receives from the Jewish community, and mentions a desire to counteract the policies of the incoming mayor while hinting at potential future political ambitions.

November's elections brought victories across the country for state and local Democratic candidates who pledged to address rising energy costs. The challenges of meeting those promises the incoming Governors of Virginia and New Jersey, and Mayor of New York, will likely face. Also, a recent report warns that the European Alps, Rockies of the Western U.S. and Canada, Iceland, and Scandinavia would lose nearly all ice at 2°Celsius of warming – a threshold we're currently on track to exceed.  And in the Peruvian Amazon, the Asháninka people have developed a symbiotic relationship with the local bees, which often lack stingers, and their honey. A new and innovative law in Peru has granted these bees legal rights to help protect them and the indigenous people living with them. ---  Federal funding for public radio has ended.

Jim Schutz, a Principal at JMSB Strategies joined the podcast to discuss his transition from a City Manager to poetry author. He shared how he decided to transition into consulting and how he got into local government poetry. Plus he talked about his favorite poem and other highlights from The Mayor Has a Hammer, a book of poetry on the everyday heroism of local government. Host: Meredith Reynolds

New York City is one week into the transition from Mayor Eric Adams to Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani, and the administration is starting to take shape. This week, Mamdani named Dean Fuleihan as first deputy mayor and Elle Bisgaard-Church as chief of staff. NY1's investigative reporter Courtney Gross, political reporter Bobby Cuza and statehouse reporter Bernadette Hogan break down what we can expect from these changes at City Hall. After that, there's already another race to watch, the contest for City Council speaker. Five candidates are vying for the position held by Adrienne Adams. The "Off Topic" team will tell you where things stand.

Epstein's emails confirm what we already knew about Trump. Ben riffs. Evanston's Mayor Daniel Biss covers almost every topic. Including…why he's running for Congress, as opposed to staying on as mayor. What he thinks about AIPAC, Israel, Mamdani, the Democratic filibuster busters, and the role local law enforcement plays in dealing with ICE. Hint—time to indict the ICE lawbreakers. Daniel is running in the Democratic primary for Congress in the 9th district.

CUJO is a podcast about culture in the age of platforms. Episodes drop every other week, but if you want the full experience — including access to our CUJOPLEX Discord and reading group meetings — we recommend signing up for a paid subscription.Paid subscribers also get access to The Weather Report, a monthly episode series where we take stock of where the cultural winds are blowing and tell you what's rained into our brains. On our latest installment, we chat with Billboard editor Katie Bain, author of a new history of Coachella, about what the festival's 2026 line-up tells us about where culture is headed, the rise of anti-sellout discourse, and the AI industry's nostalgic, artisanal rebrand. Since our last episode, something historic happened: Zohran Kwame Mamdani was elected mayor of New York City, marking the American left's most significant electoral victory since the Bernie movement took off in the 2010s. While his team will credit his win to bold, populist economic policies, there's no denying another factor at play: Zohran's extraordinary command of images. He grew up in a film-director household, rapped as Young Cardamom before pivoting to politics, and hired a crew of indie filmmakers to create a video campaign that unfolded like a documentary love letter to the NYC of halal carts, bodega cats, and ordinary working people. Zohran's media fluency is also why people are calling him the Left's answer to Trump. Which all raises some big questions: Is politics in the information economy becoming indistinguishable from theatrical world-building? And what does that mean for our offline lives?This week's guest, writer and artist Gideon Jacobs, has thought about these questions for years. A former creative director at Magnum Photos, child actor, and native New Yorker, Gideon has explored our cultural relationship to images in outlets like The New Yorker, The New York Times, Artforum, and Los Angeles Review of Books, for whom he penned an excellent piece earlier this year called “Player One and Main Character,” which contends that political reality, post-Trump and post-Musk, is beginning to bend to the rules of fiction. We talk about the aesthetic politics of the Zohran campaign and what it tells us about what successful counter-programming to MAGA's vision of America might look like. We also discuss what Gideon's study of the role of images in ancient cultures and religions can tell us about navigating the image world of the present, how the rise of populism (on both the left and the right) is inextricable from our current technological moment, and whether Zohran's victory marks the start of a political future more grounded in material conditions—or the next phase of the image arms race.Follow Gideon on InstagramRead Gideon:“Player One and Main Character” (Los Angeles Review of Books)“Trump l'Oeil” (Los Angeles Review of Books)“Thou shalt not make images—but what if AI does?” (Document Journal)“Aliens” (The Drift)Additional reading:“Selling Zohran” by Corey Atad (Defector) This is a public episode.

Unfortunately for Dwight Schrute, we're talking about budgets, buildings, and the Beltline not bears, beets, and Battlestar Galactica on this week's Friday news roundup. The City Council passed the 2026 budget and voted down an amendment that would defund the Office of the Independent police Monitor. A proposed building development on West Wilson has us, and the surrounding neighborhood, asking how necessary is parking downtown. Plus, the state has finished its study on the Beltline and has solutions for the traffic, and no they don't suggest adding a north or south Beltline. City Cast Madison executive producer Hayley Sperling digs into these stories and more with newsletter editor Rob Thomas, and producer Jade Iseri-Ramos. Mentioned on the show: Madison passes $453 million budget, rejects move to pull police monitor funding [Isthmus]City of Madison 2026 Mayor's Budget [Wisconsin Policy Forum] City undecided on 16-story Wilson Street development with no parking [Wisconsin State Journal] Recommendations for Beltline aim to improve traffic flow, reduce congestion [Wisconsin State Journal]

Seattle just elected a socialist mayor who literally lives off her parents' money because she can't afford the city she wants to run. You can't make this stuff up! Katie Wilson promises to make Seattle affordable while borrowing cash from mom and dad to survive in the nation's most expensive city for takeout, Uber, gas, and restaurants. We dive into how Seattle became #1 in every expensive category thanks to decades of progressive policies, and now they're doubling down with straight-up socialism. Wilson's platform includes "progressive revenue" (translation: tax businesses into oblivion), affordable housing (spoiler alert: it won't happen), and "Trump-proofing" Seattle (from what exactly?). How do you think this experiment will go when socialist ideology has literally never worked anywhere? Will businesses flee faster than they already are? Can you make housing affordable by taxing construction companies out of existence? Get your popcorn ready - this is going to be entertaining to watch, just not for Seattle residents. What's your prediction for how long it takes before even the tech bros start packing up? Subscribe and hit that notification bell because this socialist circus is just getting started!

Nearly $700 BILLION has fled New York and New Jersey as residents escape to low-tax states – and that's BEFORE the socialist mayors take office. What could go wrong? We break down the staggering numbers: New York lost $517 billion, New Jersey $170 billion, with 1.7 million people voting with their feet. Meanwhile, Florida gained $1 trillion and Texas added $290 billion as smart Americans fled the tax-and-spend madness. But here's the kicker – voters in these bleeding states just elected MORE socialists who promise to hike taxes even higher! It's like watching someone pour gasoline on a fire while complaining it's too hot. Are we witnessing the fastest wealth destruction in American history? Will these blue state voters finally connect the dots between socialist policies and their empty bank accounts? Drop a comment and let us know if you're planning your own escape from the high-tax hellholes.

On this week-in-review, Crystal Fincher and Robert Cruickshank discuss:

Elected officials are asking for a trial in the killing of an unarmed man and a bill to ban horse drawn carriages is voted down. Meanwhile, the Studio Museum in Harlem reopens on November 15th., Also, New York City Mayor Eric Adams tries to influence Mayor-Elect Mamdani's Policy, and a Brooklyn man is arrested for flying in a fan-powered plane.

The longest shutdown in US history is over, so for the Dems it means cue the Epstein Files. Their feeble attempt of actually caring about the victims is exposed as a sham to simply continue their quest to bring down President Trump. What is going on with socialist, Marxists, mayors being elected in major American cities? We cover the lates, plus, AOC gets dumber, Jazzy Rachet running for senate, the Osbourne family share a caring moment about Trump, our weekly circus clowns, and we end another week with our weekly Prayer to our Heavenly Father.

"Be careful what you wish for" - a warning from an Australian mayor who has been talking to local body leaders about capping rates. Local Government Minister Simon Watts is working on a rates cap model with the policy details to be announced before Christmas. New South Wales has had a rates capping system in place for 40 years and councils have to apply to go above the cap. This year the Northern Beaches Council asked for a 40% rate rise, and ended up being allowed to charge ratepayers 25%. Northern Beaches Mayor Sue Hein spoke to Lisa Owen.

In New York City, 34-year-old democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani has defeated former governor Andrew Cuomo and Republican activist Curtis Sliwa to win City Hall. Who is Zohran Mamdani, and what are his political stances? Here's KCSB Hunter Maher with the story.

WBBM political editor Geoff Buchholz reports on revisions to Mayor Brandon Johnson's budget proposal for 2026.

Send us a textMamdani's Panopticon Burden: To Inherit the Hardened and Databased Political Epistemology of the Security State(s)?By Jeremy Rothe-Kushel Host/Producer, Understanding Israel Palestine: Beyond The WallsNew York City is a paradox disguised as a metropolis. Above, the glass-and-steel canyons of Midtown reflect the accumulated wealth of empire—the real estate dynasties, the hedge funds, the global insurers. But beneath the asphalt, pulsing through fiber-optic cables and radiating from the microwave dishes atop One Police Plaza, lies a second, silent city: a digital autocracy. The invisible city does not vote. It watches, and targets. It is a “Ring of Steel” that has metastasized from a temporary post-9/11 shield into a permanent, self-governing intelligence agency.On this broadcast of Understanding Israel Palestine: Beyond The Walls, we descend into the friction point where local governance meets global counter-insurgency. We are joined by Ali Winston, an award-winning investigative journalist whose forensic reporting - including for WIRED, The Guardian, ProPublica, and The Baffler, among many others - regularly exposes police corruption, right-wing extremism, and surveillance.Our point of departure is Winston's incendiary new reporting: “Zohran Mamdani Just Inherited the NYPD Surveillance State.” It documents a profound collision: Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani, whose platform was built on the promise of Palestinian rights and systemic reform, now holds the keys to a machine built to repress those very ideals.It is a machine currently operated by Commissioner Jessica Tisch—a scion of the very financial and real estate interests that fought Mamdani's rise...--Full article is here: https://open.substack.com/pub/beyondthewalls/p/mamdanis-panopticon-burden-----------Ali Winston is an independent investigative journalist and co-author of The Riders Come Out at Night.

PREVIEW The conversation focuses on President Claudia Sheinbaum's actions against the cartels amid US pressure, following an unacceptable murder rate, including the recent killing of the ninth mayor since she became president. Sheinbaum has cooperated with Donald Trump, allowing unarmed US surveillance flights and hiring credible security official García Haruch. A major challenge is that her party, Morena, is widely believed to be complicit with the cartels, following López Obrador's failed policy of appeasement. Guest: Mary Anastasia O'Grady. 1931

Drawing on his deep city and state government experience, Dean Fuleihan, future first deputy mayor in the Mamdani administration and former budget director in the de Blasio administration talks about how he intends to help Mayor-elect Mamdani achieve his policy goals.  Then, Laura Nahmias, senior reporter covering New York City and state politics at Bloomberg News, offers political analysis of the role Dean Fuleihan will play in Mayor-elect Mamdani's City Hall.

What if the answer to stopping crime wasn't more cops… but making them less necessary? In New York City, a radical one-billion-dollar experiment is underway to do just that. A new Department of Community Safety is being created with a mission to prevent crime without police. Is this the future of public safety, or a disastrous gamble that will leave America's largest city defenseless? Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
