00:00:01 Introduction to Mike and Mark’s Discussion
00:00:11 Concerns About New York’s Political Climate
Mike Gallagher. Every day, Mike visits with Mark Davis, morning host on 660 AM, The Answer in Dallas. Here’s today’s Eminem experience.
SPEAKER 04 :
You know, I’ve been really down about this all week, and I finally figured out in the middle of the night last night why. I haven’t really properly articulated. I’m no Mark Davis here. Sometimes it takes me a while. I’m not the wordsmith you are. But I’ve been thinking about it. One thing I’ve kept saying is I keep thinking about what it must feel like to be a Jew in New York. And I haven’t properly articulated this sense of dread that I have. And here’s the dread. Mark, if this guy wins, anti-Semitism has been normalized. If our great American city like New York would have a rank anti-Semite at the helm… What does that say about anti-Semitism in general? We’ve seen the protests. You and I have talked about, you know, from the river to the sea. We’ve talked about globalize the intifada, what all that means. But if the city of New York actually elects a guy who believes that vile, evil garbage… We’ve normalized Jew hatred in America. And that’s what I think is the most horrifying thing of all. Policies, you want fast, free buses. I don’t know how you’re going to pay for it.
SPEAKER 03 :
City-run grocery stores.
SPEAKER 04 :
City-run, all the nonsense. By the way, he wants to tax, and this is an actual quote, he wants to tax white neighborhoods. White neighborhoods, yeah, that’s right. White neighborhoods aren’t paying their fair share.
SPEAKER 03 :
What’s a white neighborhood anymore? A neighbor, yeah, well, especially in New York. How white does it have to be? Especially in New York. But, I mean, how white does it have to be to be a white neighborhood?
SPEAKER 04 :
That’ll be up to Zorhan, I guess. He’ll get to decide, the mighty Zorhan. But at the end of the day, Cuomo’s decision is he will go down in history. If this guy, if his ego refuses to let him see that – Obviously, there has to be an effort to coalesce behind one person to challenge Mom Donnie and have a chance for Eric Adams or Curtis Lewa. And you’re probably right. And they cared about the future of New York. They’d say, you know what, two of us have to drop out. We’re going to all be behind the one person. And normal people then in the general election will come out, and they will stop this scourge from occurring. But it doesn’t look like it’s going to happen, and I’m really worried about it. What do you think? How do we—
SPEAKER 03 :
You’re 100% correct. And you know the thing that resonates to me through the very heartfelt things that you’re sharing is here you are. Here I am in complete lockstep with you on this, and here we are Christian guys who care more about anti-Semitism and who care more about hatred of Jews and hatred of Israel than a good-sized part of the Jewish population in New York. You want to know why? This guy won on some of the Jewish vote. I mean, I don’t know.
SPEAKER 04 :
That’s right. Well, Chuck Schumer is now endorsing him.
SPEAKER 03 :
Our senator from Palestine, as Trump calls him.
SPEAKER 04 :
Yes, yes. But you want to know why? Because we know as Christians what it feels like to be discriminated and slighted and see bigotry against us because of our Christian beliefs. But here’s the thing. Generally, they’re not killing us. With with with what is an intifada? I mean, you’re talking about I went to Israel. I was I was at Gaza after October 7th. I saw what they did and what they’re capable of doing. And you got a guy who might very well be the next mayor who does not back off of globalize the intifada. Do you know that Democrats now are furious at Kirsten Gillibrand? You want to know why?
SPEAKER 03 :
New York Democrat senator.
SPEAKER 04 :
What did she do? U.S. Democrat senator went on a talk show somewhere. I think it was on Brian Lehrer on C-SPAN and denounced Zorhan Mamdami’s expression, globalize the intifada. Really?
SPEAKER 03 :
In other words, said something actually reasonable, which is… And now they’re furious at her.
SPEAKER 04 :
How dare you? We’ve got to get rid of her.
SPEAKER 01 :
Why? Because… There’s a national focus on eating all the healthiest of foods, and that’s great news for Balance of Nature.

SPEAKER 03 :
she doesn’t want jews killed i know she doesn’t want jews slaughtered are you kidding me well there’s her there’s john fetterman there’s a handful of others i don’t know i mean is is there a place for normal democrats just normal americans who might be a little more liberal than you and i are just vote differently is there room for that kind of democrat voter anymore i i just well i don’t know if if democrat andrew cuomo as an independent does not
SPEAKER 04 :
throw his hat into the, you know, throw in the towel and say, I’m not, he will go down as one of the most diabolical. I mean, first of all, you’ve already got his record with killing all the, well, look at his record. Killing all the old people with COVID. Of course, resigning in disgrace. And then, look, he knows. That voters are rejecting him. You know what he’s saying? If he doesn’t drop out, what he’s saying is, I’m going to burn the whole thing down. I’ll punish New York, and I’ll give you Zorhan Mondavi because you didn’t elect me. His ego, this is a guy with a colossal ego, and he’ll be like a cartoon villain of history, of political history.
SPEAKER 03 :
I’m going to lovingly push back for only one reason. If this were, every once in a while, the kind of phenomenon you describe as somebody who does something seemingly for a self-serving reason, who absolutely single-handedly changes something, and that person properly deserves blame. We have no idea whether the presence or absence of Andrew Cuomo changes this election at all. The Democrat nominee is going to win. That is the baked-in, obvious result. Mamdani won the Democrat primary. The
SPEAKER 04 :
odds are he’s that’s not true mark that’s not that’s not true that’s not true if cuomo that’s not true what you think that you think eric adams had a chance as a eric adams does have a chance if eric adams is the nominee uh eric adams who’s got a track record of defending the police of of of opposing defund the police and all the garbage immigration sensible and immigration He’s sensible on a lot of things. He’s a former cop. And if they coalesce behind him and the general election, when you say the Democrats going to win, no, that’s not true, Mark. That is absolutely not true.
SPEAKER 03 :
I’ll give you maybe 50-50. Without Cuomo, and by the way, a 50% chance for an independent candidate is a big deal. That’s giving Eric Adams a lot of credit. So I just don’t know if it’s such an absolute cinch that Cuomo’s entry clearly makes the election go differently. I don’t know.
SPEAKER 04 :
Well, I’ve been talking to a lot of people with boots on the ground in New York, and they’re pretty well convinced that’s exactly what’s going to happen. What do we think? How do we feel about the Tennessee congressman writing a letter to Pam Bondi urging her to deport Mr. Mamdani? You want to talk about people getting a little agitated?
SPEAKER 03 :
I know.
SPEAKER 04 :
U.S. Representative Andy Ogles sent a letter to AG Pam Bondi calling for the denaturalization and deportation of Zoran Mamdani. Now, the problem is, well, yeah, but it’s a very Trumpian thing to do, isn’t it? Of course it is. Can you imagine? We’re going to have his citizenship will be obliterated. Can you? Oh, my gosh. I almost don’t want. Interestingly, there was a report in Axios today. President, listen to this. You’ll say you don’t say. President Trump won a higher percentage of the Latino vote in 2024 than previously believed and came within striking distance of capturing a historic majority of those voters. Pew has analyzed election data all of a sudden now. What is it, end of June? They just got around to looking at the fact that Trump got 48% of Latino voters in 2024. You don’t say. The new data shows that Trump rode back into office with a more ethnically and racially diverse coalition than previously known. Yeah, we’ve known. What we know is Trump is a lot more wildly popular than they ever want to acknowledge. And that’s what makes things different this time around.
