What the Hell is Happening? Mamdani and a Fractured Right

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.
