Historically Speaking: Secret American History

Demagogues, Demos, And Disgust: Joe Pyne, Bob Grant, And Rise Of Right Wing Talk


Listen Later

With the New York Mayoral Election upon us, we look at the founding fathers of Conservative Talk as Bob Grant and his mentor Joe Pyne set the stage for our modern media landscape, and weirdly play into the backstory of the same racial and cultural animosity we've seen in the 2025 New York Mayoral Election, as the son of the man Grant brought down with smears, jears, and a catchy parody song, Andrew Cuomo, is caught playing the same game as the man who dispised his father, Mario, and Cuomo's political mentor, Bill Clinton.
