Hello, Prestige Hedge and welcome to American Prestige.

I'm Danny Bessner, here as always with my comrade, Derek Davidson, and we are very excited

to welcome back to the podcast, my old friend, Eli Clifton. Eli is the senior

advisor, as well as investigative journalists at large at the Quincy Institute of Responsible

Statecraft, and I mean for Responsible Statecraft, and he is coming to us on the ground from

the Mamdani Caliphate. So, Eli, how is everything in New York in the wake of Zeran Mondani's

incredible victory, first round victory over Andrew Cuomo? What are the vibes on the ground?

Yeah, Eli, I just want to say, like, I mean, I assume that you're evacuating New York as

Baytar USA advised. As all American Jews should do. So I appreciate you coming on the program as you're

like packing up and trying to get out of it. The Jewish Coalition said we had to flee last night.

So crazy. Obviously everybody's according to. It's on text. It's pretty quiet outside.

You know, I think people are still in a state of shock.

No, I think that, you know, one of the big takeaways, you know,

it's so easy to focus on what Mom Dani said and how he won the selection and or appears

to have won the selection, which is, you know,

will be studied for a long time, obviously his use of media, a short form media in particular.

But, I mean, I just like to focus, and obviously, you know, I focus on foreign policy.

So it's a combination of things that really intrigued me.

One is that, you know, Mom Dani consistently expressed, you know, criticism of Israel's actions in Gaza.

He expressed concern about the loss of life of innocent Palestinians in Gaza.

And voters obviously didn't, not just didn't hold that against him, they overwhelmingly

supported him.
