Common Sense vs. The Column | 11-04-25
Manage episode 517718344 series 2932000
This episode of The Other Side Of Midnight cuts through the noise of an election locked in a "circular time pattern", arguing that the stakes in New York City are monumentally high. Lionel dives into the tight mayoral race between Curtis Sliwa, Andrew Cuomo and the allegedly socialist Zohran Mamdani, with polls indicating a dead heat. Hear the exasperated, common-sense case for why politics is about math, not feelings. Lionel passionately argues that supporting the "absolutely brilliant" underdog Curtis Sliwa is a "protest vote" that will split the conservative vote and guarantee victory for the radicals. Learn why Mamdani's agenda—including rent freezes and "free transit"—is criticized as a "disaster" and an "existential threat" that puts New York on a fast track toward bankruptcy. This is a critical discussion about why voters must "hold their nose and vote" to "block evil" and choose improvement. Plus, sharp, legal truth bombs about Diddy, John Bolton being "absolute toast," and debating if DEI is officially "D E A D".
