Tons coming up on today's show, the final New York mayoral debate between Zoran Mamdani, Andrew Cuomo and Curtis Sliwa. Go through it in detail. Plus, we discuss the latest on the government shutdown and that Senate Democrat from Maine, a candidate who, you know, has the Nazi tattoo. Well, now he's covered it up. Wait until you see the cover up of the tattoo. It's quite terrible. You know what isn't terrible? Daily Wire lifetime memberships. We had a feeling they would be popular. Well, it turns out having all access benefits for life with no renewals, that's something that pretty much everybody wants apparently. So here are your options. You could buy one while they're still available or you could win mine.
That is right. I have my very own lifetime membership to give away. and I made it ridiculously easy to enter. Download the free DailyWire Plus app in the App Store, open it, tap follow under my picture. That's it, you are now entered. And who knows, I could be calling you to give you my personal lifetime membership. But before any of that happens, you actually do need to download the DailyWire Plus app and follow me inside it right now in order to win. Well, last night was the second big New York mayoral debate. It involved, of course, the frontrunner Zoran Mamdani, the pro-Islamist, pro-jihadist Marxist, frontrunner who won the Democratic nomination versus Andrew Cuomo, the former governor of New York who had to resign office after, you know, getting a bunch of old people killed with his bad COVID policy and also grabbing ass.
And he ran out of old people. And then he was ousted from office, which is why Kathy Hochul is now governor of New York. He's running for mayor as well. He lost the Democratic nomination to Mom Donnie and has been trailing him in the polls ever since, largely because there's a third candidate in the race, Curtis Sliwa, a radio host from New York, longtime New York kind of mainstay He's the head of an organization called the Guardian Angels, which back in the 1970s and 1980s did a bunch of work where they'd walk around with red berets on the subway, making the city safer for people who are living there by intimidating would-be criminals. And of course, he's become a pretty popular radio host, has been a big sort of iconic figure in New York's right-wing politics for half a century at this point.
Well, the polls right now have Mamdani ahead, and it is unclear whether if Sliwa dropped out, the consolidated support between Cuomo and Sliwa would be enough to overcome Mamdani. What is amazing is Mamdani's base of support. According to a brand new poll out from the Patriot Polling Survey, Mamdani has 62% of the foreign-born vote in New York City. For those who seem to believe that it makes no difference when you import a bunch of people to the United States who have different views of the United States, shall we say, than the sort of Mainline, mainstream, average American view. Yeah, it makes a very, very big difference. In New York City, 62% of the foreign-born vote is moving toward Mamdani. Cuomo at 24%.
Sliwa at 12%. Among American-born New Yorkers, Cuomo leads at 40%. Mamdani has only 32%. Sliwa has 25%. So Mamdani's almost running in third among native-born New Yorkers, which says something about the importation of people, again, from places that do not share basic American values and are significantly warmer to Islamism and to Marxism. Now, this poll does show Mamdani at the top of the pack overall has 43% of the overall vote. Cuomo is at apparently 34% of that vote and Sliwa at 19%. But if that were true, then that would mean that Sliwa dropping out would mean that Zoran Mamdani likely loses. It also appears that TikTok has been putting its thumb on the scale in favor of Zoran Mamdani. The amount of online manipulation that is now just a part of our daily culture is astonishing, truly astonishing.
We saw it during BLM. We saw it during COVID. We've seen it most recently during the Israel Hamas war in which extraordinary amounts of propaganda were put out by foreign actors on TikTok and on X, deliberately designed to split the American body politic over that particular issue.
