What the Hell is Happening? Mamdani and a Fractured Right
Episode description
New York just elected a democratic socialist mayor — and the Jewish world is feeling unmoored. In this episode, Ami and Mike unpack what Zohran Mamdani’s rise says about American politics, Jewish vulnerability, and the strange convergence of left-wing and right-wing populism.
We explore:
Why Mamdani’s charisma unsettles so many New York Jews
How Tucker Carlson, Nick Fuentes, and Dave Smith reflect a new “horseshoe” politics
The loss of reassurance from both the right and the left
Whether Jewish political power in America is entering a post-AIPAC era
A conversation about fear, disillusionment, and what Jewish organizing might look like in this new political landscape.
