CNN INSIDE POLITICS ON THIS ZOHRAN MAMDANI AD

 I’ll be airing a BBC News clip from 1983 that covered the moment my friend Brian Mor O’Baoighill and I rented a billboard in Times Square. I’ll also play audio from CNN’s Inside Politics, featuring Debbie Saslaw discussing how she and her partner Anthony DiMieri, through their social media company "MeltedSolids" helped elect Zohran Kwame Mamdani as New York City’s next mayor.
You’ll hear the political ad they produced featuring Seth Goldman and myself. This is what “Mr. Wonderful” Kevin O’Leary of Shark Tank—speaking on WABC radio after meeting Zohran at the premiere of Marty Supreme—had to say about Anthony and Debbie ,“Whoever ran your social media is a freaking genius.”
I’ll then be joined by Geoffrey Cobb, a retired New York City public high school ,to talk about another highly polarizing 34-year-old who once became mayor of New York: Irish American John Purroy Mitchel. Elected in 1913 by the largest margin in city history, Mitchel and Mamdani share striking similarities—youth, ambition, and a reformer’s drive to change the city.
We’ll close the show with Judy Collins singing “Amazing Grace” at the Malachy McCourt memorial, followed by your phone calls—sharing your hopes, or your fears, for the year ahead.
