Summary

This week on Brilliant idiots, Charlamagne Tha God and Andrew Schulz dive into the  New York mayoral election, the rise of Zoran Mamdani, and what politics looks like when the internet and real-life stress (like rent and $12 eggs) collide. We’re talking identity politics, affordability, NYPD beef, ICE, socialism vs. capitalism, Trump-game strategy, and whether “being in the club” disqualifies you from public office. Plus, Curtis Sliwa ghosting podcasts, politicians ducking platforms, and the art of winning just by being relatable. It’s jokes, heated debates, wild analogies, and some painfully honest NYC reality checks. ************************************ Sponsor Brilliant Idiots: ⁠https://public.liveread.io/media-kit/brilliant-idiots⁠ 2Chainz - The Voice in my head is God ⁠Pre Order⁠ The Black Family Who Built America - Cheryl McKissack Daniel ⁠Order Link⁠ Uncommon Favor - Dawn Staley ⁠Order Link⁠ No Holes Barred -Mandi B & Weezy WTF ⁠Order Link⁠ Get Honest or Die Lying Why Small Talk Sucks By Charlamagne Tha God ⁠Order Link⁠ Check out Andrew Schulz ⁠www.theandrewschulz.com⁠ Check out all the podcast on Charlamagne's "Black Effect Network" ⁠https://blackeffect.com⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.
