Summary
First, they welcome reports that U.S. strikes in Yemen have forced Iran to pull out its forces. Jim contrasts this development with The New York Times coverage, which criticizes the cost of U.S. munitions. They also enjoy hearing that the Iranians still have no idea how to deal with President Trump and are very nervous about him.
Next, they examine new polling that shows Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez dominating Sen. Chuck Schumer in a potential 2028 New York Democratic Senate primary. While they thoroughly enjoy watching Schumer twist in the political wind, Jim says the left's fascination with AOC proves that image, style, and "vibes" are becoming far too important in how people choose whom to vote for.
Finally, they react to New York City Mayor Eric Adams announcing his re-election run as an independent. But they're also repulsed by the dismal field of Democratic contenders, including disgraced former Gov. Andrew Cuomo and avowed socialist city council member Zohran Mamdani. Greg predicts Mamdani will soon become the progressive media’s latest darling.
