Former Gov. Andrew Cuomo reflects on a new documentary about his father, Mario Cuomo, using the film as a springboard to contrast the principled political debates of the 1980s with today’s polarized extremism. He argues that his father’s era was defined by intelligent philosophical differences—specifically between Ronald Reagan’s individualism and the Democratic vision of the family of New York—rather than the modern culture of hostility and "psycho-babble." Cuomo pairs these reflections with a discussion on global instability in Iran and Israel, highlighting the strategic leverage held by zealots and the necessity of strong, operational leadership.
