America Wanted a Fight. Trump and Mamdani Didn’t Give One...And That's OK.

America Wanted a Fight. Trump and Mamdani Didn’t Give One...And That's OK.

President Donald Trump and New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani are about as politically different as it gets—so what should we make of their surprisingly cordial meeting at Gracie Mansion? Michael examines whether either man is getting played, and whether their willingness to work together offers a rare lesson in political civility. New York City Councilman Frank Morano and former Trump White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci join the conversation, followed by listeners weighing in on whether cooperation—or confrontation—is what America really wants. Original air date 22 September 2026. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See https://pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for advertising.
