What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Well, we're here.
What happened in last night’s New York mayoral election and who is Zoran Mamdani?
Zoran Mamdani, the new mayor of New York, Abigail Spanberger, the governor-elect of Virginia, Mikey Sherrill, the governor-elect in New Jersey. We'll go through all the results, what it means for the country, and that shocking socialist speech from Zoran Mamdani last night. First, you may know here at The Daily Wire, we don't always agree, actually. Friendly Fire is the show where Matt Walsh, Michael Knowles, Andrew Klavan, and I get together to disagree live for the entire internet to see and comment on what could possibly go wrong. Well, a new episode of Friendly Fire premieres in two weeks on Daily Wire Plus. And this time, we're also going to world premiere the official trailer for the Pendragon cycle, The Rise of the Merlin, only on Friendly Fire, November 19th, 7 p.m.
Eastern on Daily Wire Plus. You did it! You really finally did it, you maniacs! You blew it up! Damn you! Well, I mean, the Statue of Liberty, we're in New York, and the Statue of Liberty is half buried in sand now, and Charlton Heston is just yelling at it because of what New York City just decided to do, which was, by an overwhelming margin, actually, hand over the financial center of planet Earth to a Marxist pro-jihadist named Zoran Mamdani, who has never held a real job. And, you know... It's a bold move, Cotton. We'll see how it works out for them. According to the New York Times, Mamdani, riding a historic surge of enthusiasm as the nation's largest city, embraced generational and ideological change.
Well done, New York Times. Was elected New York's 111th mayor. The results were evident very early on in the night. It took about 35 minutes for the AP to call the race. Mamdani received 1.1 million people, I believe, voting for him. The turnout yesterday was extraordinarily high, His nearest competitor, Andrew Cuomo, who ran, at best, a somnambulant race, sleepwalking his way through the race. It seemed to be a sense of entitlement for Andrew Cuomo, running in the primaries, then running in the general. He was unable to win the race because of enthusiasm for Mamdani, yes, but also because of wild lack of enthusiasm for Andrew Cuomo, which was quite real. The anti-Mamdani vote was not enough to overcome the pro-Mamdani vote, given the shortcomings of the other candidates, ranging from Eric Adams to Curtis Sliwa.
Mamdani's coalition, which we'll get to in a little bit here, was an unusual coalition to say the least. And he is not hiding the ball. He intends on major change in America's financial center and indeed the financial center of planet Earth. He intends a new system that is going to destroy capitalism. Now, will he actually be able to accomplish that? You know, there are some checks on him. He's got a 51-member city council that he has to run things by. And many of the promises that he has made are third-grade running for school president promises. Free ice cream for everybody and no homework was basically his campaign. That if he said affordability over and over and over, and then if he just threw out a bunch of random things that he will never be able to do, then he would be elected mayor and...
It worked. It worked. We now live in a political era characterized on both sides by people accurately diagnosing problems and then not accurately diagnosing any solutions and saying, if you give me ultimate power, I will solve it for you. And it never works. And then we swivel to the other side and then we swivel back to the first side. And that seems to be the cycle that we are in currently. I want to get more into Mamdani in a moment, but I first want to explain to you the rest of the news that happened last night. Abigail Spanberger also won in Virginia. She won by a large margin in this race over the current lieutenant governor of Virginia, Winston Earl Sears. She ended up winning by over 10 percentage points.
Because that race was not particularly close, she was also able to drag Jay Jones over the line. There's sort of a fascinating contrast between Abigail Spanberger in Virginia, who is considered what would have been called the blue dog Democrat.
