The Rita Cosby Show: Hour 1 | 10-28-25

The New York City mayoral race is down to the wire, with Democratic socialist frontrunner Zohran Mamdani facing intense scrutiny. Mamdani has been hit with two criminal referrals regarding allegations of accepting thousands of dollars in illegal contributions from foreign donors. Though warned for months, the Mamdani campaign allegedly failed to stop receiving foreign funds. Mamdani, who is labeled anti-Jewish and anti-police, has repeatedly advocated to "defund the police," using phrases like "defund and dismantle" and "defund the Haram police". Audio surfaced showing Mamdani, a proud keynote speaker at the Democratic Socialist Convention, making "vile comments" claiming the "boot of the NYPD is on your neck" and it has been "laced by the IDF".Critics, including former NYPD commissioners and political figures, are calling the election an "existential threat" and a "crisis". Many are urging voters to abandon other candidates and unite behind Andrew Cuomo, the only one deemed capable of defeating the "terrorist sympathizer". The stakes are high: if Mamdani wins, it could open the floodgates for similar dangerous agendas across America. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
