Hey, everybody.

Welcome to the Weekender edition of the Mike Craig podcast.

I'm Jared Yates Sexton.

My friend, my compatriot, Nick Hausman, is out of the country.

And we are all thinking of him and sending him our thoughts and our love that he is having a decent time in the country of Japan and that eventually he will come back to us in one piece and unbothered by, well, there's no other way to put it, the authoritarian border guards that currently control exit and entry from the United States of America.

I'm going to do my best to hold down the fort while Nick is gone. I'm going to have some guests,

some conversations, but today you got me, just me, and we have a lot to talk about.

We've got incredible seismic election changes that the Democratic Party and people around them should be paying attention to.

We've got a very strange situation that has emerged around the quote-unquote war with Iran, which I think that we can learn a lot from this.

We're going to talk learn a lot from this.

We're going to talk about a lot of narratives that are going on that revolve around the 2024 election and the 2016 election.

Yeah, there is a lot to get into today and a lot of other things to discuss.

So I hope you'll stick around.

I hope that you will join me for this conversation because there's a lot here that I want to get

into in terms of analysis that you wouldn't hear otherwise.

and hearing from people who are getting tired of corporate wealth class media

and have decided to help out the people who really want to have actual conversations.

That's patreon.com slash monkreg podcast.

I want to start today by talking about the New York City mayoral primary election where state assemblymen and democratic socialists Zohran Mondani defeated disgraced former governor Andrew Cuomo, who enjoyed all democratic establishment support, mountains upon mountains upon mountains of wealth class cash and corporate media support.
