Summary

Mark and Michael analyze how the October 7th Hamas attack on Israel became a major national talking point and exposed what they describe as antisemitic views from Mayor Zohran Mamdani. Proposals from Mamdani and some Democrats to rename the Ed Koch Bridge in New York, citing Koch’s handling of the AIDS crisis in the 1980s. Michael Goodwin suggests there are plenty of issues for GOP candidate Bruce Blakeman to address in challenging Governor Kathy Hochul’s policies during the gubernatorial race in New York.
