In this episode of The Neal Larson Show, the hosts dive into a variety of political subjects, with a significant focus on Zoran Mamdani’s campaign for mayor of New York City. They critique Elizabeth Warren’s endorsement of his socialist platform, predicting that if Mamdani is elected and implements his agenda, the city’s wealthiest residents will flee. The hosts also point out Senator Cory Booker’s refusal to comment on the race. The discussion then shifts to the Texas Democratic lawmakers who left the state for Illinois to deny a quorum for a vote on redistricting. The hosts argue this is a political stunt, as gerrymandering is a common practice, and mention that arrest warrants have been issued for the lawmakers. They also engage the audience with a flash poll, asking for opinions on how Texas Governor Greg Abbott should handle the situation.
The podcast also analyzes the media and other political figures. The hosts discuss Alyssa Farah Griffin’s comments on Kamala Harris and the decline of late-night shows, using Stephen Colbert’s canceled program as a prime example of a format losing its audience. They compare the current state of late-night television to the rise and fall of game shows, predicting a similar fate for many. The conversation also touches on the sharp drop in Senator Lisa Murkowski’s favorability ratings in Alaska, which they link to the state’s ranked-choice voting system. The hosts express concern that this same system will lead to Mamdani’s election in New York, which they fear will have national consequences. The episode also includes a discussion about a congresswoman who declared her loyalty to Guatemala over the U.S. and a critique of Elizabeth Warren’s intense public speaking style.
