McCaughey then lays out a plan to defeat Zohran Mamdani, a self-described socialist, in the New York City mayoral race by mobilizing moderate Democrats and independents to join the fight against Mamdani, emphasizing the threat she perceives from Mamdani's socialist and communist policies, calling for action through the Save NYC campaign. McCaughey also hints at her potential run for governor and her willingness to remove Mamdani as Mayor if he ultimately wins. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

En las primarias demócratas para la alcaldía de Nueva York que se celebraron la semana pasada, Zohran Mamdani, un joven diputado estatal, ha derrotado de forma sorprendente a Andrew Cuomo, una figura histórica del partido con una larga carrera política. Cuomo, que fue gobernador de Nueva York, fiscal general y secretario de vivienda en la época de Bill Clinton, se consideraba imbatible, le apoyaba la cúpula demócrata y disponía de las conexiones familiares adecuadas. Pero se cruzó en su camino Mamdani, hijo de inmigrantes ugandeses de origen indio y situado en el ala más a la izquierda del partido. Hasta hace poco Mamdani era un completo desconocido más allá de su distrito de Queens. Representa una izquierda más radical que la del demócrata típico neoyorquino, por lo general favorable al mercado y al crecimiento económico. Apoyado por figuras de ámbito nacional como Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, propone medidas como transporte público gratuito, congelación de alquileres, supermercados municipales y mayores impuestos a los ricos, ideas que asustan a las clases media y alta de la ciudad. Su origen como inmigrante, su educación privilegiada en la órbita de la Universidad de Columbia (donde su padre es profesor) y su activismo propalestino, que genera desconfianza entre la comunidad judía, lo convierten en una figura polémica y divisiva. Su victoria representa un rechazo al centrismo demócrata y a la política tradicional, encarnada en Nueva York por Andrew Cuomo. La ciudad y el Estado son bastiones demócratas, allí el candidato del partido suele ganar con facilidad, como lo demuestra la historia reciente con alcaldes como Bill de Blasio y Eric Adams, o la gobernadora en ejercicio, Kathy Hochul. Pero Mamdani no lo tendrá tan fácil como seguramente se espera. Habrá tres candidaturas dirigidas al votante demócrata: la de Mamdani, la de Cuomo, que no se resigna, y la del actual alcalde, Eric Adams. Estas dos últimas se presentan como independientes. Esto seguramente beneficie al republicano Curtis Sliwa, un candidato flojo a quien Adams barrió en 2021. Las elecciones municipales, previstas para el 4 de noviembre, serán un desafío para Mamdani, que se está postulando ya como el antídoto contra Donald Trump y el movimiento MAGA. Para Trump, sin embargo, el ascenso de un candidato demócrata tan radical es un sueño hecho realidad ya que Mandami representa mejor que ningún otro la caricatura que él hace de los demócratas. El éxito de Mamdani se debe tanto a su talento con los nuevos medios, como a la frustración de mucha gente con la gestión demócrata en las grandes ciudades estadounidenses en las que el coste de la vida, los alquileres y las tasas de criminalidad son más altos que en el resto del país. Aunque Mamdani está sabiendo capitalizar este descontento, sus propuestas podrían empeorar aún más los problemas. Su victoria, celebrada por algunos como un soplo de aire fresco, es vista por los republicanos como una oportunidad. Donald Trump no ha tardado en calificarle de lunático comunista y dentro del partido demócrata cruzan los dedos para que no sea peor el remedio que la enfermedad.

Federal court judges just got a major wake-up call—and so did the left’s interpretation of birthright citizenship—as a powerful new ruling shakes the legal landscape. It’s a HUGE win for President Trump… and Letitia James and AOC are furious. Meanwhile, Letitia James could be on the verge of losing her re-election bid in New York, and Rep. Elise Stefanik is stepping in to take on Kathy Hochul in the governor’s race. Plus, former MSNBC host Joy Reid embarrasses herself on CNN in a wild segment, and even top Democrats like Adam Schiff and Rahm Emanuel are now praising Trump’s Iran strategy. The tide is turning—and the left knows it. #news #SupremeCourt #Trish SUBSCRIBE TO MY CHANNEL: https://Youtube.com/TrishReganChannel Become a TEAM MEMBER to get special access and perks: ▶️ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBlMo25WDUKJNQ7G8sAk4Zw/join

June 30, 2025 - In the second part of our conversation with Lt. Gov. Antonio Delgado, the aspiring Democratic gubernatorial candidate talks about how to fund universal child care and how his approach to federal immigration policies would look different than Gov. Kathy Hochul.

In the aftermath of the U.S. bombing of Iranian nuclear facilities, we welcome back Theodore Postol, Professor of Science, Technology and National Security Policy Emeritus at MIT to give his expert technical assessment on where that assault leaves the Iranian nuclear program. Then, Trita Parsi, executive vice president of the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft, gives us his analysis of the political side of the issue.Theodore Postol is Professor of Science, Technology and National Security Policy Emeritus in the Program in Science, Technology, and Society at MIT. His expertise is in nuclear weapon systems, including submarine warfare, applications of nuclear weapons, ballistic missile defense, and ballistic missiles more generally.No one at that point after the attack could have known whether or not there was success of any kind, even if there was success. And I doubt there was any success.Theodore PostolThe Israelis have done everything in their power to create an internal argument among the political leadership in Iran to proceed to build a nuclear weapon so that this kind of thing won't happen again. So the Israeli grand strategy, if you want to call it that, shows no intelligence or thought of any kind.Theodore PostolTrita Parsi is the executive vice president of the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft, and the co-founder and former President of the National Iranian American Council. He is an expert on US-Iranian relations, Iranian foreign policy, and the geopolitics of the Middle East. He has authored three books on US foreign policy in the Middle East, with a particular focus on Iran and Israel— Treacherous Alliance: The Secret Dealings of Iran, Israel and the United States, A Single Roll of the Dice – Obama's Diplomacy with Iran, and Losing an Enemy: Obama, Iran and the Triumph of Diplomacy.Israel is not enhancing American power in the Middle East. Israel is consuming it.Trita Parsi, Executive VP of the Quincy Institute for Responsible StatecraftIf the (Iranian regime) were to collapse it would most likely be because there would be an internal coup. And the next regime would be coming from the very same regime. It would just be a much more aggressive and hardline.Trita Parsi20 Worst Recent Trump Headlines1.

After a brutal initial barrage by the United States, followed by tit-for-tat exchanges between Israel and Iran, the U.S. is seeking to broker a ceasefire between the two states. On Truth Social, Trump posted “ISRAEL is not going to attack Iran. All planes will turn around and head home, while doing a friendly ‘Plane Wave' to Iran. Nobody will be hurt, the Ceasefire is in effect!” Just hours after this however, Israel did in fact bomb targets in Tehran, per Reuters. Israel also claims to have intercepted missiles fired from Iran following the ceasefire agreement. In the wake of the initial attacks, journalist Séamus Malekafzali reported that the “Iranian communist party Tudeh and the Communist Party of Israel [Hadash] release[d] a joint statement condemning the Israeli war on Iran, saying Israel's intent is to make the region ‘bow down to [US] imperialism' and that the only solution is full nuclear disarmament in the Middle East.” Israel's nuclear capabilities are an open secret in Washington, with estimates that the country possess between 90 and 400 nuclear warheads.2. In Congress, Senator Tim Kaine of Virginia has put forth a War Powers resolution in an attempt to check Trump's unilateral escalation in Iran. According to Newsweek, he expects to get Republican votes in the Senate. In the House, the effort is led by Reps. Ro Khanna and maverick Republican Thomas Massie, whom Trump has become so enraged with that he recently launched a PAC to oust him from his seat, per Axios. Meanwhile, AOC issued a statement reading, “The President's disastrous decision to bomb Iran without authorization is a grave violation of the Constitution and Congressional War Powers. He has impulsively risked launching a war that may ensnare us for generations. It is absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment.” Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi, asked about AOC's impeachment comments, replied “No, no, that's a big threshold to cross,” per David Weigel.3. The escalation in Iran has exposed fissures in Trump's orbit. PBS reports major MAGA figures like Steve Bannon, Tucker Carlson and Marjorie Taylor-Greene are openly opposed, while Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard has reportedly drawn Trump's ire for a string of comments out of step with the administration's messaging, starting with a video earlier this month in which she accused “political elites and warmongers [of] carelessly fomenting fear and tension between nuclear powers,” per the Independent. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has been iced out completely, according to the Washington Post.4. In more news concerning the administration, the Project on Government Oversight (POGO) has published a new report, finding that “Stephen Miller…Trump's powerful deputy chief of staff and homeland security advisor…has a personal financial stake…[of] up to a quarter million dollars of stock in Palantir.” POGO describes Palantir, the shadowy tech company founded by rightwing tech oligarch Peter Thiel, as “woven into the operations of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and used by other federal agencies such as the Pentagon.” POGO and other experts see this as a glaring potential conflict of interest. In an almost darkly comedic twist, “Democratic lawmakers have recently sought information from Palantir, [but] they are in the minority and cannot compel the company to produce records. A person who could is Representative James Comer (R-KY), the chairman of the [House] oversight committee...However, Comer bought…Palantir stock the day after Trump's inauguration…his only stock trade that day.” Palantir is the second-best-performing S&P 500 stock in 2025, with shares up 74% year-to-date, per Business Insider.5. In a rare case of corruption actually being prosecuted, the New York Times reports former New Jersey Senator Bob Menendez reported for his eleven-year prison sentence on June 17th. “After a nine-week trial in Manhattan, Mr. Menendez…became the only U.S. senator ever to be convicted of acting as an agent of a foreign government,” after taking part in a “yearslong bribery conspiracy” that included payoffs in the form of “kilo bars of gold, a Mercedes-Benz convertible and more than $480,000 in cash.” Menendez is now incarcerated at the Federal Correctional Institution, Schuylkill, a medium-security federal prison in Minersville, Pennsylvania. He has been assigned the prisoner number 67277-050.6. In other news, POLITICO reports, “FICO plans to launch a suite of credit scores later this year that incorporate [Buy Now Pay Later or BNPL] data, providing lenders a window into…consumers' repayment behavior on these increasingly popular installment loans.” As BNPL data has not been included in credit reporting before, this has become known as “phantom debt…a gigantic black box…[and] largely unregulated.” This story notes that the Trump administration CFPB has “dropped planned enforcement of a Biden administration rule that would have treated BNPL providers like credit card companies,” subjecting this industry to daylight and financial regulation. The administration's abandonment of this rule mirrors their declassification of cryptocurrency as securities in order to skirt SEC oversight. Many questions remain over how exactly BNPL data will factor into consumers' credit scores, but many are bracing for this data to reveal a growing chasm of consumer debt underpinning the already shaky economic picture.7. Meanwhile Mahmoud Khalil, the Columbia University student and activist abducted by ICE on the eve of his son's birth – despite being a legal permanent resident – has finally been freed. Khalil was held in federal immigration detention in Louisiana for 104 days, per AP. Following his release, Khalil said “Justice prevailed, but it's very long overdue.” Khalil's legal battle will continue. Khalil stated in an interview with NPR, “My release is just the first step. The legal fight is still very, very long. The administration appealed the decision about my release, but we will prove our case – that what happened…was textbook retaliation against the First Amendment, that I was targeted because of speech the government did not like, and that there was nothing wrong with the speech I was engaged in. I want to make sure that everyone who contributed to my arrest will be held accountable.”8. Backlash to Trump's immigration policies is not confined to the political and legal realms either. Newsweek reports that the new Pope, Leo XIV, has “called for priests, deacons and parish leaders to accompany migrants to court and stand in solidarity with them.” This is an encouraging sign for those who hoped Leo would follow in the footsteps of Pope Francis. It also puts the new Pope at odds with more conservative American Catholics, such as Vice-President JD Vance who converted in adulthood. In May, Leo's brother John Prevost told New York Times that the new Pope, “has great, great desire to help the downtrodden and the disenfranchised, the people who are ignored.”9. In another immigration flashpoint, “A gang of masked federal agents swarmed, manhandled, and detained New York City Comptroller Brad Lander…as he sought to assist a defendant out of immigration court,” according to the American Prospect. The Prospect notes this arrest is “the latest instance of political violence against opposition party members, which has included the arrests of Newark Mayor Ras Baraka and New Jersey Rep. LaMonica McIver…the arrest of Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Hannah Dugan…and the brief detention of Sen. Alex Padilla.” Lander was released several hours after he was detained, when New York Governor Kathy Hochul showed up in person to demand his release. She called his arrest “b******t.” Later, in an interview with Joe Gallina, Lander said, “Courts tell undocumented immigrants their cases are ‘dismissed.' But what they really dismiss… is their asylum status. Then ICE grabs them. No lawyer. No warning.”10. Finally, 33-year-old democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani trounced disgraced former Governor Andrew Cuomo in the New York City Democratic mayoral primary on Tuesday, winning by a completely unforeseen seven-point landslide. Polls up to election day showed Cuomo winning, some by as much as 24 points. Mamdani, a state legislator since 2021, ran on a platform of affordability, including making city buses free, establishing city-owned grocery stores and freezing the rent for all stabilized tenants. This platform – paired with cogent messaging, an extraordinary grassroots organizing campaign and shrewd alliances with other progressive candidates like Brad Lander – won the day for Zohran. However, an air of uncertainty about November remains. Incumbent Mayor Eric Adams still plans to run for reelection as an independent and Cuomo hasn't ruled out doing the same, per the Hill. While many who endorsed or donated to Cuomo in the primary – some now openly admitting they merely did so out of fear of reprisal – have switched their allegiance to Mamdani, some are maintaining a hostile posture towards the presumptive Democratic nominee. There is no doubt this story will proceed in dramatic fashion.This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard.

Progressive state lawmaker Zohran Mamdani stunned the political world after he defeated former Gov. Andrew Cuomo in Tuesday's hotly contested Democratic primary for NYC mayor. Errol Louis, host of NY1's Inside City Hall, joins us to discuss what it means for New York and the rest of the country. And, when California Rep. Jimmy Gomez tried to visit an Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention center, he was denied access after ICE began enforcing a new rule that blocks members of Congress from making unannounced visits to detention centers. Critics say the new policy is illegal. Gomez explains his efforts to see inside immigration operations. Then, New York is looking to expand nuclear energy after New York Gov.

Long Island Republicans urge senators to save Biden-era tax cuts for clean energy. Governor Hochul wants to build New York's first nuclear power plant in a generation. Plus, legendary French chef Jacques Pépin visits New Haven.

NY Governor Kathy Hochul, on the Monday after the legislature left town for the yea,r announced that she was directing the New York Power Authority to build a nuclear plant, probably in Central New York. One of the main reasons is to met the energy needs of the new chip factory that MIcron plans to build in Syracuse. The announcement was quickly greeted with dismay by climate and environmental groups who view nuclear as an expensive and false climate solution that presents a host of environmental and public health problems. Anne Rabe of Don't Waste NY talks with Mark Dunlea for Hudson Mohawk Magazine.

June 23, 2025 - Gov. Kathy Hochul wants to spend $1 million to identify sustainable revenue sources that could fund universal child care. We discuss the potential funding sources, as well as the cost of universal care, with Pete Nabozny, director of policy at The Children's Agenda and the lead author of a new report on universal child care.

Gonzalo E. Mon, Beth Bolen Chun On May 9, 2025, New York Governor Kathy Hochul signed a large budget bill with ​“major components of legislation necessary to implement the state transportation, economic development, and environmental conservation budget for the 2025-2026 state fiscal year.” Buried in Part W of the 99-page bill are various provisions that will also impact how companies can offer automatic renewal programs in New York, starting this November. Some of these changes appear to echo Negative Option Rule and California Automatic Renewal Law amendments, while others are more prescriptive.

New York City is under an extreme heat warning as Primary Day approaches Tuesday, with temperatures expected to top 100 degrees. Officials are urging residents to stay indoors and check on neighbors. Meanwhile, Governor Kathy Hochul has ordered state agencies to stay on high alert after U.S. airstrikes on Iran over the weekend. Plus, major overnight road work begins on the FDR Drive uptown Tuesday night, lasting through mid-August.

Democrat mayors and governors are aiding and abetting criminal illegal aliens by pushing for the "unmasking" of the ICE agents charged with deporting them. Disney World gets an expensive summer attendance lesson and PRIDE parades are losing steam... and corporate sponsors. A triangle back-scratching scheme in New York connects governor Kathy Hochul, Hochul's husband's law firm, and AG Letitia James. Do you think New Yorkers know their taxes are funding a $10M slush fund to cover James' legal expenses?

Robert in Westchester called Ken to let him know that AG Letitia James's office allegedly hired an outside law firm that Governor Kathy Hochul's husband may work at.

Avodah Zarah Bookmark Masechet Avodah Zarah is sponsored by the Talmud class of Congregation Beth Jacob in Redwood City, CA in honor of the staff of Hadran who make learning possible. "Pirkei Avot 1:6 teaches us עֲשֵׂה לְךָ רַב, וּקְנֵה לְךָ חָבֵר, make for yourself a Rav, and acquire for yourself a companion. We are blessed to have Rabbanit Michelle Farber as our extraordinary teacher, and we- Leslie, Joe, David, Sue, Helen, Batya, Adam, Alana, and Bill- are blessed to have the companionship of our learning." Today's daf is sponsored by Rabbi Lisa Malik & Prof. Adi Wyner in honor of the upcoming wedding of their daughter, Eva Wyner, who was just promoted to Director of Jewish Affairs for the State of NY in Governor Hochul’s Executive Chamber. And in honor of their future son-in-law, Reuven Rosen, who just graduated with honors from Rutgers’ MD/ Ph.D. program and who will be starting his medical residency at NYU. The Mishna says that all types of business dealings with idol worshippers are forbidden three days before their holidays. Rav and Shmuel discuss the spelling of the word used for holidays - "eidaihem" - is it with an aleph or ayin? From which verse in the Torah is the meaning of the term derived from, according to each opinion? One of the verses mentioned is the basis of a long aggada about the nations coming before God in the World-to-Come, looking to get rewarded. God reprimands them for never having kept the Torah. Various claims are made by the nations trying to justify why they didn't keep the Torah.

Mike Lomas and Glenn Wiggle are in for Bauerle and today, we hop in the way back machine and walk down memory lane, reviewing some old news stories, tweets, and other media about various topics, the market, the economy, politics, and look at the guys' stance on the issues then compared to now, as well as talking illegal immigration, and Governor Hochul committing over $60 million of the New York State budget to immigration legal aid.

Governor Hochul is urging voters to head to the polls this weekend before dangerous heat hits early next week. Meanwhile, police are investigating threats made against mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani. And with the mayoral primary just days away, WNYC's Brittany Kriegstein spoke with all nine leading Democratic candidates about how they would approach crime and public safety.

SEASON 3 EPISODE 139: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:45) SPECIAL COMMENT: So we're going to do that whole Iraq crap again. Only swapping out the last letter. "Iran" instead of "Iraq." Because nobody remembers Bush and people think Trump is somehow anti-war, when he's doing all this because of his desperate FOMO that there is something somewhere on Fox News that he is not being given personal credit for. Only he's skipping the whole phony terrorism-9/11-pancake uranium-manufactured evidence dance and just saying "we're doing it to save Israel" even though the evangelicals who WANT to "save" Israel like Mike Huckabee really want just to make sure nobody but them destroys Israel, since the end of their prophecy is that when there are no Jews anywhere but Israel, there'll be a rapture, and all the Jews will convert or, you know, bye-bye. It's complete delusional snake-handling level religion. And as for the US military, the purpose of war with Iran would be the same as was the purpose of war with Iraq: to HAVE a war in which you can DESTROY B-2 Stealth Bombers and thus increase the Pentagon budget. As Big Jim McBob and Billy Sol Hurok would say: "Blowed 'em up good. Blowed 'em real good!" PLUS: Governor Hochul of New York uses the mot juste about what appears to have been a set-up of NYC Comptroller Brad Lander. ICE swings back towards seizing the people who keep the red states from starving. And those Trump American Phones are made in China. B-Block (32:50) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: CNN/MSNBC screw up the ratio of ICE protest coverage to No Kings protest coverage; Stephen Miller runs Trump but Katie Miller runs Stephen Miller; Karoline Leavitt inexplicably posts a photo of Trump wearing a dunce cap. C-Block (43:00) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: This week was the 25th anniversary of the day my mother became famous, and loved every moment of it, when she got hit in the face by a baseball thrown by the second baseman of the Yankees - while I was doing the highlights of that game on Fox's national game of the week telecast.

Congressman Ritchie Torres (D-NY), one of Israel's most vocal Democratic defenders in Congress, joined The Guy Benson Show today to explain why he supports Israel's preemptive strikes against Iran, where Torres says that the strikes are in the best interest of the United States and the free world. Torres emphasized Iran's bloody history against Americans and warned against allowing the world's top state sponsor of terrorism to go nuclear. Torres said that Israel should attempt to destroy Fordo themselves, but said that he would support the U.S. intervening in a limited capacity to assist. Guy and Torres then weighed in on the NYC mayoral race and warned of the dangers if Democratic Socialist candidate Zohran Mamdani wins the NYC mayoral race, and didn't mince words in calling Governor Kathy Hochul "the least effective executive" on the face of the earth when asked why he'd consider running for governor of New York.

(The Center Square) – In defending the state's migrant sanctuary policies, Gov. J.B. Pritzker says he'd rather be arrested than to have Illinois residents arrested improperly. Joining the governors of New York and Minnesota Thursday in front of the U.S. House Oversight Committee, U.S. Rep. Maxwell Frost, D-Florida, asked the three governors for their response to threats of being arrested for allegedly impeding federal immigration enforcement with migrant sanctuary policies. New York Gov. Kathy Hochul said “go for it.” Pritzker said the Trump administration “can try.” “I will stand in the way of [Trump border czar] Tom Homan going after people who don't deserve to be frightened in their communities, who don't deserve to be threatened or terrorized, I would rather that he come and arrested me than to do that to the people of my state,” Pritzker said.
