The Good Fight Club: Mayor Mamdani, the Crackup at Heritage, and the Death of Dick Cheney

And unfortunately with Mondani, uh, I'm sure he'll be fine as a mayor. Like New York City is ungovernable anyway, so he'll be no worse than his predecessors. But he's but he's really a target. And and being mayor of New York is actually the worst possible position to be that target. because it means that he can't he can't really speak to a national audience, but the um but the Fox News crowd can really focus in on him.

So I think it's a real live illity for 2026, unfortunately. And now the Good Fight with Yasha Monk. It is Wednesday, November 5th, and this is the 11th installment of the Good Fight Club. Today I'm delighted to be rejoined by my friend Mike Pesker, who is the host of the excellent daily podcast Vidist. I have for the second time on the podcast, but for the first time on the Good Fight Club, Christine Rosen, who is a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute and not the Heritage Foundation.

Welcome, Christine. This will become important later. We will get back to this. Um, and I have for the first time, I believe in either of the Good Fred Club over podcast as a whole, my dear colleague Sam Kahn, who is a frequent voice in the pages of Persuasion, of which he is an editor, as well as VO for Overcastalia Substack. Welcome, Sam.
