Rita and callers break down the critical first New York City Mayoral General Election Debate. With radical extremist Democratic Socialist Zohran Mamdani leading the polls, the stakes for New York and America couldn't be higher. Rita explores if the media was "in the tank" for Mamdani and how opponents Cuomo and Sliwa failed to land the crucial "knockout punch" needed to change the race dynamics. Listen as we dissect Mamdani's dangerous views, including his proposals to send social workers instead of police to domestic violence calls and his history of seeming sympathy for suicide bombers and Hamas. Will Mamdani's victory embolden AOC and other leftist hopefuls, or is there still time for an October surprise?
