“Cornell 7” Case Gets Political, Mamdani Sells Socialism to Theo Von & the Right Turns on Zach Bryan
"'Cornell 7' Case Gets Political, Mamdani Sells Socialism to Theo Von & the Right Turns on Zach Bryan" is the Monday episode of After Party with Emily Jashinsky, and it moves through seven subjects in just under an hour. Eight hours after it went up it had been watched about 22,700 times, on a channel where a regular episode usually ends its whole first day near 4,000.
The case in the title has now led Emily's coverage for most of a week. As we reported here, her previous video turned to Letitia James, and it has since passed 57,000 views. This time she questions Governor Kathy Hochul's choice of James as special prosecutor, and a New York Times column that tied the controversy to President Trump.
The longest stretch goes to Zohran Mamdani's visit to Theo Von's podcast. Emily says she disagrees with the mayor's version of socialism but warns that it could land well with Theo's politically independent listeners. The rest of the hour covers Jack Smith in a "No Kings" shirt at an anti-Trump music festival, a speech from Mark Ruffalo, David Brooks on the press, a Pete Hegseth image dispute and Zach Bryan's shirts at Gillette Stadium.
The four clips cut from the episode have each stayed in the low thousands so far. Under the full show, viewers argue over Jack Smith, wonder whether Theo Von really needed socialism explained, and suggest JD Vance as his next guest.
