Can Greg Gutfeld Save New York City?

Is there anyone out there who doesn’t know who Greg Gutfeld is? He is the host of the highest rated late night talk show on Fox News at 10:00 p.m. His format usually includes two guests and two regulars discussing recent current events with humor, very politically incorrect comments, and frequently blipped-out blue language. He is way funnier than Bill Maher was when his Politically Incorrect show aired from New York but the most important thing about Gutfeld is the size of his audience and who is watching.

Can't believe that the Dems might pick disgraced Andrew Cuomo to run for mayor. Are New Yorkers voters just stupid?

Maybe the voters of NYC should ask why Cuomo decided to place COVID patients in the nursing homes of NYC when Pres Trump offered him wonderful facilities that was never used,

It's a nice, positive wish and I'm sure many lifetime residents feel the same way but the crime and corruption runs too deep for any kind of quick fix. The culture must be changed with young children having safe and effective schools and the ability to return home to two-parent families. Unions need to be put under control and democrat politicians should be kept away from the city council and the mayor's office. Tourism will return only when one can walk from Little Italy all the way up to Central Park without suffering a mugging or worse. I would love to be part of a live audience on the Gutfeld show but right now it's a dangerous idea.

Let's not forget how horrible was the David Dinkins tenure when progroms against the Jews and heavy crime with squeegee men ruled the streets. The voters wisely chose Rudy to save city. We just have to find another Rudy.

As a life long New Yorker and a 30 year employee of its government, (and I worked my tail off) NYC cannot come back. I adore Alicia Colon and there is no other media person with the exception of the NY Post's Michael Goodwin that knows NYC better. But, tragically, she is wrong. The NYC election system is thoroughly corrupt with ranked choice voting fully in the hands of the socialists who will continue to freely manipulate the outcomes. But, even before that, there is no serious republican party in either NYC or the state. Ed Cox, Nixon's son-in-law is a total and disaster as head of the party. There are times, republicans don't even field candidates for NYC elections. There are no serious political and business leaders in NYC. In the 1970s when NYC was in deep trouble a group of very smart, dedicated and serious political and business leaders saved the City. They do not exist today. And Ms. Colon if you can think of any I would love to hear who they are. The elected officials are frighteningly stupid socialists. As such, NYC and NYS are in the grip of a thoroughly thuggish group of democrat socialists and the political structure and will of the weak republican party cannot at this point make a dent. I pray that I am wrong. But, I know this City and have seen it through its really bad times and it's wonderful Giuliani times and what's happening today is like nothing I have ever seen. It's done.

A better question, and one that must be answered first us, does NYC want to be saved? I suspect no, at this time, because virtue signaling and feeling morally and intellectually superior is far more important.

Enjoy Greg and his crew. The blue humor is funny, the political humor is funny, and his guests really seem to be having a good time. But, no, he cannot save NYC. Only the voters can and I see no hope. Only went to NYC once and hated it. Too much, too crowded, too rude and indifferent. I did see some interesting places and enjoyed The Lion King on Broadway but I would never go back. Live in fly over country and glad that I do. Despite what CA and NY think we do not envy you and wish we lived there. When NYC is thinking of Cuomo there's your answer.

As a consolation, Chicago is just as bad as New York for the very same reasons but they don't have a Gutfeld or anybody else to lighten the load. It's one hundred percent misery so New York has at least a spark of a chance.

Agree with #14. Until you make the city safe again, tourism and business will continue to decline. It's getting worse with their "sanctuary City" foolishness, spending millions to house illegal leeches and criminals and watching women burned alive on the subway. The grifter politicians are ruining a once great city. It will take a few more years until we see a real life "Escape From New York" but it's coming.

Alcia knows the territory. Polls have shown that Gutfeld, who runs a very New York program that skewers Lib/Dem craziness, atttracts a young audience, from18 to 50ish. Those who cringe at a little blue and bleep also tend to focus on that. Seems to be all they see while others see much more so tend to glide by it. He gives me laughs on nights when I don't have a lot to laugh about, and is a refreshing change from the constant Dem propaganda on TV. Change will come from younger voters. I hope Alicia is right.

Consider that DA Alvin Bragg has NO opposition. The repubs ran Curtis Sliwa and his Leo Gorcy act, and thought he could win. Sliwas was an id iot 50 years ago when I knew him. Nicole Malliotakis was nominated and abandoned by the Republicans. The NYS Repubs are useless.

There was a massive train wreck in Washington, DC, this weekend, and it had nothing at all to do with locomotives and everything to do with a crowd of Never Trumpers assembling to shout into the dark void that has come to symbolize their movement. Even worse, their summit crashed and burned spectacularly when organizers falsely and quite publicly accused a Trump supporter of calling in a bomb threat. Let me explain.

According to Google’s AI Overview, approximately 653,100 people, uh, “experience homelessness” on any given night in 2023, up a crazy 12% from just the year before. It’s a stunning number, but one that probably isn’t surprising to you no matter where you live, because this has gone far beyond just being a ‘big liberal city problem.’ Likely, your small town in your red state is also “experiencing homelessness” more than it ever has. Walk down your typical formerly Norman Rockwellesque main street today and you’ll likely see more than a few shopping carts, dirty tents, and drug-addled vagrants sitting or lying around.

Tarrio denied any involvement in the incident.

German conservative opposition leader Friedrich Merz appears poised to win the country’s election Sunday, while the far-right Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) party places second despite making gains. Chancellor Olaf Scholz conceded defeat, calling the election results “bitter,” The Associated Press reported. Scholz’s Social Democratic Party placed third, behind the AfD, in its worst result in a national election in decades. With more than 200 constituencies’ results declared, Reuters reported that the conservative party earned 28.8 percent of the vote with the AfD trailing at 20.9 percent. The Social Democrats came in at third place at 16.3 percent. The AP noted that Germany, as the most populous country in the European Union,

Until recently, the U.S. and the rest of the developed world pursued a costly global policy of “net-zero” carbon emissions to battle the supposed ill-effect of climate change. But President Donald Trump has changed all that by ending the U.S.’ commitment to the global net-zero effort. Will today’s highly partisan voters support Trump? The latest I&I/TIPP Poll data suggest a high-degree of skepticism among many voters over global warming’s threat. Three-quarters of those responding to the I&I/TIPP Poll agreed there are reasons for “public skepticism toward climate-change policies,” while just over a third of voting-age Americans say they themselves “distrust” the information used to sell previous climate-change policies.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced plans this week to move up to $50 billion of the Pentagon’s budget from “low-impact and low-priority programs” to ones that align with President Trump’s defense strategy — an excellent first step to get the department ready for the threats America faces from China and other adversaries. But not even cutting every last DEI program and burdensome administrative process will yield anywhere close to $50 billion. The only way to find that kind of money is to cut weapons programs that no longer meet America’s needs.

The heretofore unreleased 2021 policy allowed illegal migrants to use a variety of “DHS-provided documents” to walk quickly through security checkpoints that held up many Americans. These approved documents included various documents issued by DHS, such as warrants for arrests, “Notice to Appear” court appointments, and Alien Booking record documents.
