President Donald Trump kicks off a pivotal United Nations General Assembly week in New York with an unexpected summit at Gracie Mansion. Host Rita Cosby breaks down Trump’s cross-aisle meeting with NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani, exploring their surprising discussion on developing Queens' Sunnyside Yards—aiming for 12,000 new homes and 30,000 jobs—alongside their deep policy divides over immigration. Featuring political analysis and live listener calls, the show debates whether this sit-down is a calculated move to boost local GOP candidates or a warm-up for high-stakes diplomacy with world leaders from China, Ukraine, Iran, and the Gulf. Plus, an inside look at Trump's urgent warning to Senate Republicans over filibuster rules ahead of the midterm.
