Advertise on podcast: Political Beatdown with Michael Cohen

Michael Cohen takes aim at New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani and asks a provocative question: Who exactly do you believe you are the mayor of? Following Mamdani's absence from the Columbus Day Parade and the Israel Day Parade, Cohen examines what those decisions mean for Italian Americans, Jewish New Yorkers, and the promise of being a mayor for all New Yorkers. Cohen also tackles Mamdani's affordability agenda, universal childcare, free buses, city-owned grocery stores, rent freezes, police reform, and the financial realities behind his campaign promises. Does the mayor's approach reflect consistent principles, or is New York's political divide becoming harder to bridge? From cultural heritage and community representation to public safety, housing, taxes, and the future of New York City, Michael Cohen delivers a pointed commentary on leadership, ideology, and accountability. The central question: Can a mayor truly represent everyone if some communities feel left out?
