Description

Guest hosts Russell Dobular and Keaton Weiss discuss Andrew Cuomo’s sudden pivot on Gaza, noting that he previously joined Netanyahu’s legal defense team but now calls for an end to the war. Independent Congressional candidate Jose Vega tells them that Cuomo’s reversal is driven by overwhelming pro-Palestinian sentiment in New York City, especially among younger voters and Democrats. Vega also shares insider insight that Cuomo’s independent run is largely donor-driven, with wealthy benefactors pressuring him to stay in the race despite his lack of enthusiasm or realistic path to victory. The hosts emphasize that Zohran Mamdani’s grassroots strength is reshaping the political landscape and forcing establishment figures like Cuomo to bend, even insincerely, to pro-Palestine public opinion.

They flip flop all the time, cause they are not principled. The swine go whichever way they smell the truffles.

Corrupt Cuomo thought he could play the "I love Israel" card. It backfired.

Not a Mamdani guy at all.... but he was the ONLY candidate that said they would not fly to Israel first thing to bend the knee. Honestly, these days that's enough for me.

What gets me confused is how in this day in time could anyone have any support for the Zionist organization of Israel. Yet they still got 26 % . Beyond me I guess the psychopathy still lingers on.

They're not stopping, Israelis are rolling into Gaza with tanks, jets, and artillery.. so it's not stopping. It's getting ramped up as they starve and murder even more women and children...this isn't winding down. it's actually getting worse..😢.
