Mamdani's Schools Chancellor Gets Roasted
This week on the podcast, we talk about how Nikole Hannah-Jones absolutely ripped into Mamdani's schools chancellor about segregation in our schools (although credit to Kamar Samuels who was nice enough to show up for this absolute demolishment). Then, we pivot and discuss the never-ending madness that are the Brooklyn Democrats. Also, a hot duck! And the Knicks are back! So is Max! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Claire Valdez and Darializa Avila Chevalier on Building Power, AOC, and 'Squad 2.0'
This fall, Claire Valdez and Darializa Avila Chevalier will (almost certainly) be new members of Congress from New York City. We got them in the studio to talk about being a transplant, Latinidad, how the left can build power, what they said to Hakeem Jeffries, and whether they believe in aliens. These two are not very keen on labels like "the Squad," but we are nevertheless soft-launching "Clairializa," this week on the Hell Gate Podcast. Hosted on Acast.

Zohran Mamdani Is Mr. Worldwide
It's a wild week in New York City as our mayor goes international, the president pays a visit and ogles Gracie Mansion, and Mamdani breaks bread with fellow socialist world leaders. Meanwhile, closer to home, the Brooklyn Democrats are up to their usual absolute nonsense, and Republican gubernatorial candidate Bruce Blakeman is stealing people's faces. Just audio this week—no video…for reasons! Be careful cutting avocados, folks! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

AI Threats, Real and Imagined. Plus, Extremely Real NYPD Misconduct
What begins as a quaint story about an upstate bookstore morphs into a depressing vision of the future. Is there anyone who can stop the AI apocalypse? Luckily, Hell Gate has consulted its own AI agent on the matter, and they've told us we're in the clear. Just to be safe, Jessy checks in with the mayor about this as well. Then, Nick (who is not AI) discusses his new reporting on how NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch keeps transferring cops with misconduct on their records to the NYPD's most problematic and secretive unit. Finally, we give an update on the Brooklyn Dems, whose drama will almost certainly outlive the end of the Earth. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
