Fmr. Gov. David Paterson (D-NY) | 05-25-26 May 25, 2026

Show notes

John Catsimatidis and Dominic Carter and former New York Governor David Paterson, discuss the growing politicization of American life. The segment begins by criticizing the backlash against an New York Giants quarterback, Jaxson Dart for simply introducing a president, which Paterson uses as a springboard to lament the loss of bipartisanship and the rise of "Trump derangement syndrome." The conversation shifts to a critique of the Democratic Party’s apparent shift toward socialism, with Paterson and the hosts warning that a lack of moral leadership and historical perspective is leading the nation toward political tyranny and social division.

Bruce Mosler | 05-25-26 May 25, 2026

Show notes

Bruce Mosler discusses the resilience and competitive edge of the New York City commercial real estate market despite the growing financial pressures on corporations. While acknowledging that Manhattan remains a premier global hub for talent and intellectual capital, Mosler warns that excessive taxation and a lack of public-private cooperation could reach a dangerous breaking point for major businesses. He stresses that city leaders must treat the private sector as an essential partner to solve urban challenges, particularly as firms increasingly weigh the costs of staying against expanding in more affordable regions. The conversation concludes by shifting from economic concerns to a patriotic tribute to military service, emphasizing the shared civic values and sacrifices that underpin American freedom.

Nassau County Exec. Bruce Blakeman (R-NY) | 05-25-26 May 25, 2026

Show notes

Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman outlines his gubernatorial platform, focusing heavily on public safety, law enforcement investment, and a hardline stance against criminality within migrant populations. Blakeman distinguishes himself from current leadership by proposing a compassionate yet merit-based immigration approach that includes a guest worker program while strictly opposing the use of taxpayer funds for illegal migrants. He aims to unseat Governor Kathy Hochul by building a diverse coalition of voters across New York, specifically targeting minority communities and entrepreneurs who prioritize lower taxes, parental rights in education, and reduced utility costs. Throughout the discussion, Blakeman emphasizes a return to strict law and order to combat rising anti-Semitism and retail theft, positioning himself as a candidate who will prioritize fiscal responsibility over current state spending habits.
