Late night just got dangerous. After Hours with your host, Alex Stein starts right now.
Alex Stein
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to After Hours with your host, Alex Stein, right here in Real America's Voice. And you know what I'm drinking, and you know what I'm thinking? I got that Soldier Fuel. I need that energy. It's late at night. It's Thursday. It's almost a weekend. And you know what? If you're having a little bit of an elixir tonight, this is a great mixer for your elixir. So just think about it. Everybody's doing the Red Bull and vodka. Forget about that. You do a little Soldier Fuel and vodka, you're gonna feel way better. And you know, I'm not a doctor. Draw's gonna be a little less. Less hungover. This has a taurine in it. It's got the caffeine in it. It's just. This is the real deal, Holyfield. I encourage Everybody. Go to Amazon.com and go get a few cans of the Soldier Fuel. You know, a portion of the proceeds actually go to our military veterans who need it the most. Now we got to talk about everybody's favorite mayor of Manhattan, The Big Apple Ayatollah, the one, the only, Zoran the Moron Mandani. Yeah, he's going viral because he hosted a bunch of Influencers to Gracie Mansion, I guess. Or maybe they're a City Hall. I'm not even sure exactly what room they were in, but they were doing a prayer circle and they were celebrating Ramadan. Now that's obviously our audience's favorite religious holiday. And let me just tell you, this is peak cringe. I want to go back to the New York City when it was just Eric Adams trying to sleep with Instagram models in the nightclubs. That is the New York that I actually respect the most because he was honest. He's at the club till two in the morning, his shirt's all unbuttoned, he's got his, you know, breasts out. That I miss. Eric Adams. I can't believe I'm saying that. And I'm a guy that is, you know, made a name for myself going to City hall in New York and calling out the elected politicians there. You can look it up, type in Alex Stein, New York City. I've had a famous lawsuit with him. I've actually had two. We just settled our second. So I actually like New York because they're very vulnerable because they're run by a bunch of communists. So they will kick you out of a meeting if you're trying to speak freely. And they don't respect the First Amendment. And little do they know, I got good attorneys, Jewish ones, awesome ones. And when you mess with the pimp on a blimp, you get the horns. And so Mamdani though is going viral. Forget about me. He's going viral because he hosted a bunch of influencers and had a dinner and then also did a little Muslim prayer. I don't even know what that is, but let's play the club. You.
Edward Sprague
Make some of that.
Alex Stein
So a moment where you're asking yourself how you can reconnect growing up with being taught that. Now I know our audience, you know, trends a little bit older. And I don't know if you're familiar with who is in that video, but that is the famous Aki. You get your burger the Aki way. He has a well known restaurant in Manhattan where you can get a burger filled with like hot Cheetos and in between honey buns. I mean, it's some of the most disgusting food you could ever want, but I think it looks kind of delicious too at the same time. So I'm being a little hypocritical, but my point is, mom, Donnie doesn't even use silverware. He eats with his hands. Like, this is how mom Donnie would drink some Soldier Fuel. He just puts A little in his hand and he goes, that's how he eats. It's disgusting. And then, you know, I've argued with a lot of these Muslim fanatics, like, well, you eat a chicken wing with your hands. Well, I don't drink Soldier fuel with my hands. I don't eat rice with my hands. These, these people. And I'm not saying every single Muslim is this way, but they're like savages. I mean, I don't know how to describe them, and I might get some kickback for that, but these people don't even use silverware. And they're in, they're in City hall, they're hanging out with the mayor and they're sitting Indian style like a bunch of kindergarteners. I mean, it's ridiculous what they're doing. And you know, Mamdani was the first mayor to ever be sworn in on a Quran. At this point, I think he is just trying to troll us. So watching this clip and seeing them do the prayer and we have religious freedom, freedom of religion here in America. So whether you like it or not, he's allowed to do it. But my point is this is that the world is changing at a rapid pace and a lot of people are too scared to say something about it. Not me. I call this stuff out all the time. And I try to be very fair. I try to call out both sides. I try to call out the Muslims that are annoying. I started to call out maybe even some Christians that are annoying. I try to call out some of my friends in Israel that can be annoying sometimes because really and truly, everybody has weird quirks that make them unique and different. So I think, you know, at some point we should celebrate that we're different and unique. But I think this is just plain disrespect to an office of the most important and influential city in America, or at least it used to be. And this guy would rather do a influencer dinner where they're eating chicken biryani with their hands instead of actually figuring out how to clean up a city that has a massive crime wave that is letting immigrants stay in downtown Manhattan and hotel rooms for free while other people are getting taxed to death. And on top of that, he's having to go into the reserve funding just to support some of his socialist policies. So the guy is insane. He's ruining the city. He put in millions and millions of dollars in new turnstiles for the subway that are even easier to bypass subversively without paying than the old turnstile. So the guy's an idiot. He went in his debate, talked about how he likes to smoke weed. And I'm sure we got some weed smokers that are watching this here. And if it's legal in your state, I guess party Wayne. But I'll tell you this much. I don't know if I want my mayor to be Cheech and Chong, okay? And I like Cheech and Chong. The movies were funny, but I don't know if I want them to be the mayor of my city. And that's what we got in New York City. We got a bunch of Muslim radicals that don't know how to use silverware that would rather sit on their candy aces. I don't want to cuss, because this is a, you know, children's show. Instead of actually fixing the problems in a city that has exponential amount of them, I mean, the problems are only increasing daily. And guess who gets to pay for this? You, me, the taxpayer, the middle class. Because all the rich people that have half a brain have moved out of New York City, down to Florida, here in Texas, just they've left. They're in Tennessee because nobody wants to be taxed to death. And the rich people, they know how to stay rich. That's why they got rich in the first place. So it's the middle class that is suffering the most. And it makes me very irritated watching this video. And it's not necessarily because he's Muslim, even though that's pretty gay. My point is, this guy's the mayor. He's got no respect for a great city. And it wasn't that long ago. Well, I guess in a way, it was that long ago. 20 years. We were yelling and screaming about building a mosque at the site of the terror attacks on 9 11. And now we got a Muslim pothead mayor. I say it all the time. I say it every episode. Reality is stranger than fiction. We need to go back to Rudy Giuliani. Rudy Giuliani was the man. He was the type of guy that if there was crime, he was gonna wipe it out. There was all kinds of pornography in Times Square. There's booths where guys would go in the booth, they would look at a pornography movie and they would crank their yank. And I'm not, you know, even kidding. And you know who wiped that out? Rudy Giuliani. You know who wants more people cranking their Yankee. It's mom, Donnie. But he doesn't want him to do in a booth. He wants to do in Times Square out in the open, because he does not care. Because he's probably A sexual pervert. And then on top of that, his wife recently liked some Instagram posts talking about October 7th in a way that was not very flattering to the Jewish community. So this guy is a threat. He is a soft terrorist. He's a diet terrorist in my book. And he is the Ayatollah of the Big Apple in New York City. If you live there and you can, you need to move away immediately. Mamdani does not care about you. He doesn't want to keep you safe. And now with this war in Iran and all the sleeper cells being activated, which Donald Trump admitted to, that they're starting to get activated, that he has an eye on him instead of, you know, maybe watching him, I wish he would deport him. But that's neither here nor there. That's another topic for another episode. But what we do need to worry about is having a mayor that wants to eat with his hands and sit and. And act like he's some sort of religious, you know, holier than thou mayor that is getting sworn on a Quran. But really, he's just a pothead that. Who had his mom, who was in the Epstein files. Not saying his mom's a pedophile, but maybe. Who knows? I don't know. I mean, she was in the file, so. Mamdani, you are taking the L of the Day. This is a prestigious award. You are the loser. The Ayatollah of the Big Apple, and they're gonna call it the Big Crapple very soon. You're ruining the city. We need to bring that city back. And I'm not even kidding. I wish I was kidding right now. I know I've been talking about you for nearly 10 minutes right now, but I could talk about you for two hours, Mom. Donnie, because you got in there, you suck. And really, Cuomo helped you out. There was no actual candidate that really gave you even a fight. And you're kind of like the AOC of mayor. So I just hope and pray that the city of New York is a safe place, because I remember going on vacations there as a young kid and thinking, man, this is so cool. This is so hip. This is the future. And I'm in Dallas. You know, we're not. We're not a slouch city, but New York used to be the future of our country. And if that is still the case today, then our future is very, very bleak. But I don't want to be a black pillar. I don't want to be negative, because we all have to have gratitude. Just the fact that we woke up today and are alive and you're able to watch After Hours with Alex Stein is a win. So let's just celebrate the small wins and small victories that we get every day instead of being a doomer and zoomer and black pill addict like I can be sometimes. So. All right, guys, we got a lot to talk about. There's a terror attack at a temple. We got to get into it. Luckily, nobody got hurt, except. Except for the terrorists. The terrorist did get hurt. He's dead and he got burned up like a Digiorno pizza after you fall asleep after, you know, drinking 12 beers after the nightclub. So he's not doing very well. But that's good news. So we're going to have gratitude for that. And we have a great comedian, the one, the only Danny Polishuk joining us next after the break. You don't want to miss it. Things are going to get crazy like they always do. Thank you guys so much for joining us this evening. See you after the break.

Alex Stein
Guys, you know what I'm drinking. I'm still drinking on my Soldier Fuel right here on After Hours with Alex Stein on Real America's Voice. And my next guest, he doesn't need energy drinks. He's got all the energy. Even Though he looks half asleep. I just saw him in the window. Let's welcome on the one, the only Danny, pull the chuck. Danny, how are you doing, my friend?
Danny Polachuk
I'm well.
Alex Stein
Welcome to After Hours. I'm doing better now. Well, I appreciate that. I can tell, I can tell by the, all the energy that you're getting. I know that you just rolled out of your hotel bed, but I'll allow it. But long story short, I know that you are a big matzo ball eating Jewish person. Right? Is that a fair.
Danny Polachuk
I love matzo balls.
Alex Stein
It's delicious. I'm not just saying that matzo ball is probably one of the best soups. And I'm not just saying.
Danny Polachuk
I mean, it's like basically the only Jewish cuisine that is even half decent than bagels.
Alex Stein
Yeah, I know because I, I go to, I've been to a bunch of orthodox bat mitzvahs and bar mitzvahs, even, you know, at the temple. And the food that they bring out, it's not that bad. I'm calling out my attorney, John Gross, but it's just not that great. It's not, whatever, it's not that great.
Danny Polachuk
Bagels, matzo ball soup, smoked meat sandwich. That's it.
Alex Stein
Yes, the smoked meat sandwiches are good. But we got to talk about this because, you know, one of these side effects, and I am against the Iran war and we can get into that in a second. But I just, I don't like war. But I do think we need to protect Israel. They are our biggest ally. But I'm worried, I think a big side effect of this war is there are going to be more terror attacks on American soil because Iran can hit us. And I think that there are sleeper cells, especially whether you want to blame it on Biden or not. We have an immigration policy that has led everybody into the southern border and whether they were a Muslim, whether they were Chinese, you know, it didn't matter. So I think that we're going to see an uptick in these type of terror attacks. Luckily in this situation at the Temple Israel in Michigan that nobody got hurt except for the gunman. He was burned really badly and I guess he was killed. But what do you, are you worried about anti Semitism? Because online, you know, people can say mean stuff. I know that doesn't hurt your feelings, but are you actually worried about getting physically hurt?
Danny Polachuk
I'm personally not worried. Like, I know a lot of like older Jews, I see that they're more concerned. But I don't go to synagogue where it's like, obviously if something like that would happen. But I'll tell you this because I see this stuff. I'm like, when I was a kid and I got dragged to a synagogue, this is in the 90s, like for some high holiday or something, they would have like three or four police officers there. And this was in the 90s because, you know, there was elevated concerns of it in the 90s as well. So, you know, if you have to hire a few rent a cops or whatever for temporarily. I mean, my almost like the bigger concern is, you know, with this and the Austin attack is all these guys are naturalized citizens. I thought all these like kind of terror attacks were going to come from people who kind of snuck over the border during Biden's administration, who weren't, but they're not citizens. They just kind of snuck in. But these are like all citizens.
Alex Stein
No, Danny, that's the worst part. And once again, I'm not anti Indian. I want to make that very clear. But you know, one third of all the Indians that have immigrated to America are here illegally and they live in the DFW area. I don't know if you've noticed that. Yeah, you're in for a little.
Danny Polachuk
I'm in Fort Worth.
Alex Stein
Not quite yet, but did you notice the DFW airport? Did you find the dfw?
Danny Polachuk
Yeah, it reminded me of Toronto a little bit.
Alex Stein
Every employee and they look at Canada. Canada's. Canada's all in it. I mean, I'm really just calling ball. Well, I'm saying if we call balls and strikes, Indians are pretty docile, nice people. You know what I mean? I'm not really worried.
Danny Polachuk
You know, I've never had beef with any Indian. I have. I have no problem with the Indian, so. And I'm certainly not worried about them doing terror attacks. So that's for sure.
Alex Stein
That's a fact.
Danny Polachuk
They have a pretty good track record there.
Alex Stein
I think so. But long story short, what's happening right now in our country and this, you know, you. I saw you had a viral video talking about, you know, these false flags. Would. Would Iran do a false flag? And I definitely think they would. I mean, allegedly they killed 30,000 of their own citizens, which, you know, that could be true. I think there's evidence to prove that. I haven't seen 30,000 people dead, but you know what I mean, I gotta just take. Sure. Yeah.
Danny Polachuk
I don't necessarily agree with that. The 30th, that was a clip from my show. It was mostly because the day the bombing, all these people were like America or Israel for sure did it. And it's a lot of the people online, I just found it kind of funny because there's a lot of people online who are like, convinced America is constantly either about to do a false flag against their own people or is, you know, has in the past, but they could never consider the possibility that Iran would do one. And I'm just like, that's weird. Like they could do it. I don't know. It was too early to tell.
Alex Stein
Well, okay, so, Danny, let's talk.
Danny Polachuk
I do think America did it, though, the school.
Alex Stein
I think there's a lot of evidence.
Danny Polachuk
That's what it's looking like.
Alex Stein
Well, we bombed all the buildings next to it. So, I mean, I guess, I guess Iran just had an accidental bomb that hit directly on top of the school. Twice, allegedly. But forget about that. That is a very bad situation. I hate that for those kids, even if they were all to be terrorists. But okay, this Iran war, let me tell you something. I support Israel. I'm not anti Semitic at all. All some of my best friends Jewish. You're one of my good friends. I'm not anti, anti Jewish. My grandfather's Jewish. But my point is this. Right now, I watch these videos of Tel Aviv and I know there's people cheering it on and that pisses me off. I don't like the people that are like, oh, boom, boom, Tel Aviv. That makes me sick. But I also feel bad for the people of Tel Aviv that just want to sit there and relax and party. You know how most of the people there, you know, not into this war. So, like, don't you think want to do their gay pride parades, which is fine. Hey, listen, I'm a Dallas Cowboys fan, so I'm pro gay, you know that. I know you're a hockey fan. I know that's very straight.
Danny Polachuk
And a Canadian. So we're getting beat.
Alex Stein
And Jack Hughes, though, Do you like Jack Hughes beating your candy apple asses? I don't know if I can say that on this show because we're on TV in hockey and he was a Jew. You got beat by. I feel some sort of way.
Danny Polachuk
So I honestly, I'm happy for the Americans to get the gold medal after 45 years.
Alex Stein
Shut your mouth, Danny. I'm not going to let you lie. You know, you're. You're the biggest hockey fan I know.
Danny Polachuk
Of course I wanted Canada to win, okay, I 100%. But Mark Carney went the day after or after the game, the Prime Minister of Canada, and he's like, Congratulations on a silver medal. You made us proud. I'm like, no, they didn't. They did not make us proud, okay? And honestly, the path that Canada is going down, like, I actually think this was a good thing for Canada to kind of get put in their place here because that was one of the few things we had left. And I think it's like a wake up call for the country where it's like, oh, you know what? Like the way we're trending, we are not trending in the right direction. We need to course correct here because we don't even have hockey anymore.
Alex Stein
Well, I mean, you guys did get silver. And if you watch that game, I end up watching the replay of it. You know, I watched the ending of it, but I now I watch it. They were out playing America. Basically the whole, I don't care, everybody, I don't care. I know that's all that matters is the score at the end. Yeah, it doesn't matter who outplayed anybody.
Danny Polachuk
They lost, okay? And they should not have lost. They had on paper a way better team, you know, they lost, okay? And Connor Hallibuck played one of the greatest games I've ever seen for a goalie, but they lost. And I think it's just like Canada has in all these ways is trending in the wrong direction. And I think this is like a bit of just a wake up call being like, hey, you know, we could pump the brakes on a lot of this stuff like, and get back to.
Alex Stein
Get back to skating on the ice. Yeah, get your stick on the ice. Yes, let's get back on the ice. Because. Because you know how we joke about like the economy and all this stuff really, at the end of the day, like, it's like baseball in America or football in America. These cultural sports bring us together. They're unifiers. They're so important. And, you know, now I guess sports aren't as. I mean, I would say sports are as big a deal, but I guess people, we. We don't respect the sports enough and how much they bring us together. And I think that we should be putting these athletes, even on a little bit of a higher pedestal because it is important to win these games because it creates a conversation of national pride and it just gives you something to make you sleep a little better at night. So I think it is important that maybe if they did spend a little more resources on developing hockey players, that actually would be good for Canada overall.
Danny Polachuk
And they haven't, like in, in Canada, their Hockey Canada, like, budget, essentially what is like the same as what it was like 20 ago. They haven't put, you know, they kind of were like, we're not putting any more money into this. And now it's. And the only thing I take some pride in is that all those guys who are on that Team Canada team, especially when they're handing them those stupid stuffed animals, I'm sure those dudes all took those silver medals and they either threw them in the trash or they put them in a drawer and they will never. Those guys have no pride in the fact that they came in silver. They have nothing but shame. And in a weird way, I take pride in that and that those guys were like, this isn't. This isn't. Okay. They're not happy about that.
Alex Stein
Well, you know, it is what it is. Okay, we only got a couple more minutes left in the segment, but I gotta ask you, what is. Mom Donnie really changed New York that much. I mean, I know he's having these influencers. He's doing Ramadan celebrations at Gracie Manor and he's, you know, at City hall doing Honestly. But has any. He's that different?
Danny Polachuk
No, he's only done, really one significant thing, which was hiring people to shovel the snow. And it. It worked. That's really the only thing that he's done. Where you go.
Alex Stein
It did that actually. Okay, timeout. Sorry to cut you off, because I saw that everybody got really. Ollie heard the negative press said, oh, you had to show two IDs to do that, but you don't have to show an ID to vote. So it actually was a good thing because that snowstorm was crazy.
Danny Polachuk
It was legitimately a good thing. And I'm not a Mom Donnie supporter, you know, I hate commies. But it did work. Like, for one, it's like you took the money, like, you took the tax dollars and you literally handed it back to the people in order to provide a service, which is probably the most ideal way to redistribute tax money in order to benefit everybody by giving it literally to the people. And it worked. I mean, honestly, like the next day it was. You're just like, there's. The snow is all gone. It's. You know, you could walk everywhere. It was one of those weird things where you're just like, all right, as much as I don't like him, that one, that one was good. But other than that, I mean, he's talking about raising property taxes 9 1/2% across the board while also trying to be the low rent guy. And you're like, I don't know how those two things work together. I don't think they do, though.
Alex Stein
It seems like a huge contradiction. But when it comes to Mom Donnie, though, I mean, he's like, I kind of want to like him because he's kind of smoking weed and, you know, he seems young, and I like young. He's got ribs more than older. Yeah, Trump loves him. Trump loves them. So I. I want him to be successful because I think New York City is the greatest city on earth. You know what I mean? Or it should be. I don't know if it is right now, but it should be.
Danny Polachuk
It's not my favorite city on the. I live there because I am a comedian. It's the place that I gotta live.
Narrator/Promo Voice
But.
Alex Stein
Yeah, but the first time. Yeah, but the first time you moved there, you thought it was cool. Yeah, but you don't think. You didn't think it was awesome when you first moved there. It's very cool to go on a trip there. Everybody should go there.
Danny Polachuk
First time I moved there, I remember the first week I was walking around, I was like, I can't believe I live in New York City. And now I walk around and I'm like, I can't believe I live in New York City.
Alex Stein
This is how. All right, guys. Coming up after the break, Danny and I are going to go after the Iran war and a few other topics. You don't want to miss it. Stay tuned.

Alex Stein
Welcome back to After Hours with Alex Stein right here in Real America's Voice. And we have a great guest. He's a comedian and his content online is some of my favorite videos. I mean, I just laugh. And he's also, you know, famous from the pandemic, making a lot of videos with Ryan Long. Let's welcome back Danny Polachuk. Danny, Danny, Danny. I gotta say, I love your videos. And I'm not just, I'm not just a D writer, I'm not just a Danny D writer, but a little bit, I guess I am. And I think what you do with AI is absolutely incredible. And it's, it's sometimes indistinguishable from the actual CNN or Fox News or whatever, whatever media outlet that you're pretending.
Danny Polachuk
I basically make the. Yeah, I make the news that I want to see if that makes sense.
Alex Stein
That's smart. No, I get it. And that's why you're a very brilliant young comedian. So let's play one of my favorite clips where you're talking about a controversial mural.
Danny Polachuk
At the intersection of Brooklyn Boulevard and
Alex Stein
North Avenue sits this mural.
Danny Polachuk
It's a dark skinned Palestinian woman holding
Alex Stein
a slice of watermelon and the seed Spell free Palestine. With so many black Richmonders upset, we decided to catch up with the artists behind this controversial mural to have him explain more about it.
Edward Sprague
Hi, I'm Edward Sprague and I'm the artist behind the unfortunately controversial mural of a what appears to be black woman eating a giant watermelon. However, I would just like to say first off, she's not black. People from Gaza are not black. They're just dark skinned. It's sunny there like all the time. So she's really tanned. In hindsight, would I have made her a little less tan? Sure, sure, I would have. Obviously I've heard the stuff about the black people and the watermelon, but I just, I was trying to make it more realistic. I mean, I can't make her white. That would make no sense. Those are the oppressors in this situation. And I would just like to say to the black people who are upset about this, I'm sure there's a lot of you who are not, but some of you are. I just want to say chill out. That's your word, right? That's the word you guys like to use. Just chill out. Just relax a Little bit. There was no harm meant here. I'm just trying to support the Free Palestine cause. And look, watermelon is the only fruit that is black, red, green, and white, which is the color of the Palestinian flag. It's symbolism. Right?
Alex Stein
Well, see, I didn't even know that the watermelon. I saw a Delta of airlines flight attendant that got canceled because I didn't realize the watermelon was the secretive Palestinian flag.
Danny Polachuk
Yeah, that's. They all use it online.
Alex Stein
Yeah, I didn't know that. But the reason why that's so funny is the audience couldn't see you, but I can see you backstage. You're just like me. When you watch your own content, you kind of cringe a little bit. Yeah, I can tell. You're kind of looking down. You're like, it's because you make it. You can watch yourself edit it, and then I'm done with it. But, yeah, that video is so. That video is so fun, actually. That is.
Danny Polachuk
That's a real thing.
Alex Stein
That's a real mural. Yeah, I know that's a real mural. Obviously, you're not the real painter, but. Yeah. What was the controversy? Did the painter actually get canceled for that? What was the. What was the real.
Danny Polachuk
No, it was like, you know, it was some, like, LGBTQ whatever painter who made it, and she's kind of just like, you know, it's. It's literally like it's the victimhood Olympics kind of thing where she's just like, our things more important than your thing right now, so.
Alex Stein
Yeah, exactly.
Danny Polachuk
We're doing this.
Alex Stein
We're a bigger victim. Just shut up. Yeah. You're eating watermelon now.
Danny Polachuk
Yeah.
Alex Stein
Okay, go ahead.
Danny Polachuk
I was just gonna say, if you watch the original clip from this Richmond news or whatever, they do interview some, like, local black leaders who are like, yeah, we don't like this because the history of watermelon and black people and stuff, and.
Alex Stein
I know, but, I mean, it's not. I don't think it's a big secret that black people like watermelon and fried chicken. Everybody likes watermelon.
Edward Sprague
Yeah.
Alex Stein
I mean, and everybody likes fried chicken. Like, that's not racist.
Danny Polachuk
Famously said, if you don't like watermelon fried chicken, there's something wrong with you.
Alex Stein
Exactly right. Like, literally, that is some of the most. One of the most delicious fruits. It's one of the most delicious meats. So now. Now, real quick, I want to play another video, because we only have you for a short time. You know, I am so lucky I get to represent turning Point usa. I'm currently on a college tour. I'm going to University of Michigan. I'm going to college in Charleston. I'm going to a bunch of schools. You know, just check my online accounts. You can see where I'm going to be next. But Charlie Kirk, after his horrible assassination, a lot of people have been accusing him, people that don't really know him, they called him racist because of one small comment that he said that he would be a little hesitant to get on a plane if he noticed that he had a black pilot. And I disagreed with him on that because I like it when I see a black pilot because that means that I can smoke weed on the plane. So I enjoy black pilots. But my point is, I fly Spirit a lot, and you can actually buy weed from the pilot on Spirit. So Spirit's my favorite airline. If you like to party. And I think never flown it still. Shut up, Danny. You're such a rich bitch. You've never flown Spirit one time. They have such cheap flights out of LaGuardia.
Danny Polachuk
Yeah, but not to. It never ends up being anywhere I go. And I always travel with, like, a carry on. And then when you factor in, like, the 50 bucks for the carry on, it always ends up just kind of being the same price.
Alex Stein
It's.
Danny Polachuk
It's more like certain regional. Regional trips that I just have never made. I'm not opposed to it. I just have never.
Alex Stein
I. I have flown Spirit airlines to Vegas 50 times, probably, and to. They fly to Fort Lauderdale, Miami, really cheap. I've flown there. And if you have a backpack, like, I purposely ordered a backpack that fits within the requirements for 20 bucks on Amazon, you can't pack for very long. Can't go on a long trip for a couple days. But that is one of the setbacks. But here you are roasting one of my favorite airlines, Spirit Airlines.
Edward Sprague
Hi, I'm Ted Christie, CEO of Spirit Airlines. Earlier this week, a competitor of ours, United, announced a new policy where they would effectively be banning any passengers who refused to use headphones while using electronic devices on their planes. We received thousands of phone calls from concerned customers, all on speakerphone in crowded public areas. Of course, worried that we may be implementing this policy as well as we want to ensure everyone that Spirit Airlines remains committed to our goal of providing the least peaceful and most uncomfortable travel experience in the country. While United Airlines wants to brand themselves as a stuffy airline, think of Spirit as more of a carnival cruise line of the sky. We love hearing your favorite reggaeton and rap songs on full blast. As well as encourage you to watch your favorite TV shows and scroll social media without headphones at full volume. Also, don't forget to sneak personal alcohol on our flights and have some drinks to take the edge off. We're also changing our policy to now allow smoking in the lavatories, and to accomplish that, have let the batteries on all the smoke detectors run out to provide our customers with that comforting sound of that low battery chirp. And while we don't encourage travelers to have full fist fights while flying with us, we know that stuff like this happens. That's why, starting now and completing sometime in 2027, we'll be adding mini octagons at the back of every plane for customers to fight each other while mid flight. We'll also be partnering with Kalshi to allow live betting on combatants so you can get the most out of your experience. Thank you for flying with Spirit Airlines, because if you didn't, no one would.
Alex Stein
How dare you demonize Spirit Airlines. But everything you said is true. If you go to Spirit Airlines, you better bring your pepper spray because you're going get in a fight over bin space. Over. I don't even know if they have, you know, bins or space.
Danny Polachuk
Yeah, yeah.
Alex Stein
I don't even know because you're really only allowed to bring a backpack that's about 20 inches by 10 inches. So you roasted Spirit Airlines. I love that. But I feel like you are a fraud and a phony because you've never been forced to sit in the jail cell in the air. I will at some point.
Danny Polachuk
I'm certain I will at some point. But here's the thing. My. I made that sketch because my. One of my greatest like, like, personal causes is people. Especially because living in New York City is people playing speakers out loud. It is, like, one of the things I like most detest. And it is the sign of just, like, a low trust, you know, no social contract kind of society. And I hate it so much. And so I'm glad that United is taking a stand on that because I do a joke about it in my act. But basically, I'm one of my only. I don't even have sexual fantasies anymore. My only fantasy is just telling some guy on the train to turn a speaker off. It's the only fantasy I have.
Alex Stein
And you know what? That's sad, but kind of true, because in New York, it's sad.
Danny Polachuk
The thing is.
Alex Stein
Yeah.
Danny Polachuk
Is if you do that, they kill you. Which seems kind of unfair, but I
Alex Stein
know it is a little. It does seem like it's not a fair trade off. But also, you know, if you're on that, if you're on the subway, you know, people light you on fire. It's crazy. And, and I think actually if you go to New York City, you really should go right on the subway because it is a great culture experience. Even if it's terrible, it's a great.
Danny Polachuk
And it's very efficient. It, honestly, that's the most annoying part about it, is to get to point A from point B. It's the best way to get around New York City. It's amazing.
Alex Stein
And mom died. But did you see mom Donnie's. Wait, real quick. I want you to fish your butt. But you see mom Donnie's new turnstiles are almost easier to hack than the old ones. Yeah, they can, they can just throw their T shirt over and that sets it off and that, you know, like if you have a jacket. I saw a viral video where a girl just hangs her jacket over it and it opens right up because it thinks somebody's on the other side.
Danny Polachuk
I know, it's so stupid. Yeah, it's so stupid. But anyways, it's just, it's one of the things that I hate any. I hate people on speakerphone, in public, just all that stuff. And I just. As I said, we need to Japanify this society as much as possible, at least in that regard.
Alex Stein
Yeah, well, Japan's subway system is so nice, you could like eat a steak off the floor of it. It's.
Danny Polachuk
Yeah, it's everything. Everybody's. I know. And it's just. We just don't have that here. And you know, some people like it. They like the. The hustle and bustle.
Alex Stein
They like the spray paint fumes from the graffiti. Okay, so we gotta get. Let you go shortly. So what are you doing this weekend? You're gonna be in Fort Worth in a big last comedy club.
Danny Polachuk
Big last comedy club.
Spreaker Advertiser
Fort week.
Danny Polachuk
Fort Worth. All weekend shows. Friday, Saturday night. You can get tickets@dannycomedy.com and if you live anywhere else in. I'll be touring all over. I got so many dates coming up all over this fine nation. Danny, comedy.com you can find me.
Alex Stein
But real quick, actually, before you go, did I get your opinion? Are you. What do you think about this war? What do you think it's going to end? Do you think that. Are you a Mark Levin guy? That we need to just go there and kill every Iranian?
Danny Polachuk
No, honestly, I was giving Trump the benefit of the doubt. If he was going to wrap this up within two Weeks because of his success in Venezuela. And, you know, the Fordo bombing, which those went. And I think there's a little hubris here where those went a little too well. And it seems like he maybe underestimated this one. And, you know, I'm definitely not in the camp of, yeah, let's just be there until as long as we need to. Possibly the only thing that's good about Trump is he could just snap his fingers, pull everyone out and just be like, we won. And they're like, no, you didn't. He's like, yes, we did.
Alex Stein
Well, no, that is true. But actually, I had a good guess on that. Made a good point. The way that Trump could fix this whole thing, even if it goes on a month, even it goes on two months, if he could work with Putin, I know that's gonna make people cringe and somehow use Putin to negotiate a ceasefire, because Russia is a huge ally of Iran's and in the Ukraine war, and he could basically justify like, oh, I needed to go to Iran to end the Ukraine war, and everybody would be happy. They would forget about the stuff school. They would forget about all the bad things, about all the tankers that are on fire. They forget about Tel Aviv being on fire. If he could just do a two for one. And in the Ukraine war. So that's kind of.
Danny Polachuk
That would be hoping. Yeah. Like, I. I've been trying to give him the benefit of the doubt on this one, but the longer this drags on, the less. The less that's easy to do. And it's more like might be some unseen things here. Unforeseen.
Alex Stein
Well, I'm not a military expert, but from all of my research that I have done, it looks like even if we take out their navy, and even if they don't have an air defense, the only way they're going to be able to protect the Strait of Hormuz is putting in ground troops. And you already see people that are going to want that. And I know people in America are going to probably be universally against that. So I think he has to kind of figure out an exit plan before he has to put troops on the ground and he's going to have to come to the table and negotiate. But I'm just worried, too, Kimani, we just killed his dad, we killed his wife, he killed his kids.
Danny Polachuk
He might be down the next one.
Alex Stein
They say his leg is blown off. They said he's in a coma.
Danny Polachuk
And he gave his first speech today, and it was like someone read off a paper, some woman Read. Read his thing off a paper. Like, he might be dead.
Alex Stein
He might be. But, you know, I watched this one video, and it's. It was from a very pro Muslim tiktoker. So, you know, I don't know how. How well it is, but they've actually been planning for this for 47 years, like they said. And so they have three branches of their military. They have, like, an IRGC, they have, like, a regular military. Then they have a military that kind of polices both the militaries. So even if they don't have a leader, they can't have a coup because they have a military police that. That, you know. Yeah, both the military. So. So, like, they can operate without a leader, which is a little scary that they can just.
Danny Polachuk
Sure.
Alex Stein
Operate independently. Yeah, yeah, I know. It's. It's.
Danny Polachuk
It's not a great situation. I have a friend who was actually a Iranian political prisoner, and he lives in Canada, and he was saying, like, because they have forced conscription there, and he's like, they don't even give us guns because they're worried that the citizens, if they gave them all guns, would actually turn on them. So, like, their bench isn't super deep, I'll say that. That's what it sounds like.
Alex Stein
I'm not a military expert, and I think a lot of their soldiers don't have guns, probably don't have uniforms, but they have over allegedly 900,000 military members. And if you compare that to how many the Taliban had, which is 40,000. Yeah, that is a little worrisome. And. All right, Daniel. Yeah, yeah, I know. Hezbollah, Houthis, which they all admit that they fund. That's actually part of their, you know, different sectors of their military. That's a big part of it, is that they actually fund that, and they have a bunch of rebel groups, so it's not a good. It's not a good situation, but. No, it's not. They're gonna be. They're gonna be hard. But I do think that peace to peace through strength. Hopefully Donald Trump figures out a way to come to the negotiation table. And in this. In a very gentlemanly way, even though it hasn't been very gentle. And soon so far. Yeah, and soon. All right, Danny. Everybody go check out Danny, his videos. He's on Instagram, he's on Twitter. He's got the best account. Literally, his videos saved a lot. Saved my life and saved a lot of people's lives during the pandemic, and it's still doing so today. But I just really appreciate all the hard work you put into making such great content. Lucky to. Lucky to call you a friend. I'll see you soon. Likewise. All right, guys, coming up next, we gotta dive deep into a little more of the gunman stuff. What am I looking at? We gotta do that. We got a great new song actually coming up next. You don't want to miss it right here on Real America's Voice. Thank you guys so much for watching After Hours with Alex Stein right here in Real America's Voice. And, you know, I got my energy for my soldier fuel. Been drinking this stuff all night. You guys get it on Amazon.com part of the proceeds actually go out and help military veterans. So you are buying a product that is actually good for your body, good for your energy levels, and good for Americans that risked it all by going and serving in the military. Now we got to talk about my favorite rapper of all time. And the reason that I want to play this clip is because, you know, here, Real America's Voice, we are getting into the music business. And stereotypically, the music business is run by satanists and freaks and predators, and Lord knows that they're pretty freaky deaky people. And I'll be honest, I like some of these freaky deaky people. I'm a big rap fan. I'm Primetime 99. I'm a pimp on a blimp. You know, I am the town hall terror. I'm the most famous city council rapper of all time. But this video to me is especially great because this is the Birdman, part of the famous duo the big Timers. And he is a rapper from New Orleans. And this is him speaking to a group of inmates in a federal penitentiary. And when they ask for help, I just. I almost can't even say it with a straight face. They. They say, birdman, we'd like some books. And what Birdman says just tickles me to death. Let's play the clip. I have enough power to make that happen.
Edward Sprague
Okay, let me inside.
Narrator/Promo Voice
Helpful literature for these guys having books to read upon the criminal.
Alex Stein
I just love that Birdman's like, you think books are going to help? So remember that. The reason that I wanted to play that clip is to give you some context. These are what the most famous rappers and musicians think about us, you know, their biggest fans, that when we ask for help, not even a big ask, hey, we want a couple books. And he just said, I want to do whatever I can to help you. And as soon as the inmates go, we'd like some literature, we'd like some books. He's like, man, books ain't gonna help you. You know what? Believe it or not, Birdman, books are very important. Books are the reason why everything works today. If it wasn't for books, we would have no knowledge. We would have no recorded history. So believe it or not, books are important and they actually do help people. I know you don't read books, but I wanted to bring this up because right here, Real America's Voice, we are getting into the music business. And we're not out to make a bunch of money. We're out to change the culture. And we got a great new song called God, Grit and Guns by the Truth Bombers. And this is music that is meant to make you feel good and not stupid. Like a lot of the rap that you hear on the mainstream media and all of your local radio stations today. Let's play it.
Narrator/Promo Voice
America, it's time to make some noise. Scan the QR code right now and pre save the brand new song God, Grit and Guns by the Truth Bombers or search for it on itunes and hit pre save.

Today.
Narrator/Promo Voice
Let's run this song all the way up the charts and remind the music industry who's really in charge. We, the people. In a world filled with chaos, conflict and uncertainty, this song is a reminder of something stronger. America's grit, faith and fortitude. Because Americans don't back down and we never will. From the label that brought you the boss anthem of the free and Somali waltz comes the next anthem, God, Grit and Guns by the Truth Bombers. Scan the QR Code and pre save right now.
Alex Stein
I love that. And that is a hit if I've ever heard one. And I'm not just saying that because I work here, even though they do make me say that legally or else I get fired. But it's still an actually good song. It's actually good. And it's music that actually makes you feel good. And it's not meant to make you feel like reading books is stupid. Because here at Real America's Voice, even though we are a media company and I don't know if we sell many books, maybe I think that we've got a few authors at work here. But my point is, go out there and listen to something that is not degenerate and that is not meant to make you feel bad about yourself or make you feel even dumber than we already are. No offense, but let's be real. We are a little bit dumber because we're all addicted to our phones and we're constantly doom scrolling and we're not actually paying attention to the world around us because we're so distracted. So I encourage you guys to listen to some music that's not meant to distract. It's meant to inspire, which is a huge difference than what you're getting from your local radio station or YouTube or wherever you're watching this show or wherever you hear your music now. As well as Real America's voice entering into the music industry, we are also going to have a huge presence right here in Grapevine, Texas in less than two weeks at CPAC with all of your favorite RAV superstars. Got Steve Bannon, Jack Posobic, and Dr. Gina. Let's play the promo for him.

Alex Stein
So if you're in the DFW area, I encourage all of you to come to cpac, hang out with us. We are all accessible because we're going to be walking around and hanging out. So if you've ever wanted to take a selfie with a pimp on a blend, this will be a good opportunity. Now, before we end the show, we got to talk about what's happening in the world. I know that we can constantly feel sad and worried because right now we're potentially going to start World War Three. But just remember that we can only worry about the things that we can control. So try not to get too lost in the sauce and too distracted by what's happening thousands and thousands of miles away and worry about the things you can't control, like the ones you love. Your kids, your family, your job. Because really, at the end of the day, that's what brings you the most joy. And you know, I got well known from going to local city council meetings. But I learned something from that, because I would go during the pandemic, is that even if a state shuts down, there are certain cities. Colleyville, right here in the metroplex was one of the first cities to open up in the whole United States. And you didn't have to have all the COVID restrictions, and that was because the citizens of Colleyville voted for it to open. So your local politics matters. So don't always just worry about the president, and we love Donald Trump, but don't always just worry about these major elections. Worry about your community. Because if you can change your community, really that's all that matters. Because a lot of these fat cats in Washington, D.C. they don't give a dang about you. And I say this all the time, idolizing a politician is like thinking the stripper actually likes you. Believe it or not, the stripper doesn't like you. And a lot of times, these politicians couldn't give two craps about you. That's just the God's honest truth. I wish it wasn't, but it is. Well, thank you guys for watching Real America's Voice. We got a great guest tomorrow night. She's a beautiful lady. I think so you guys are gonna enjoy that if you like a little eye candy. And thank you so much. And don't forget, go get your soldier fuel. I know it's late, but if you got to stay up, you got some more rap shows to watch. Go and support a company that actually supports our veterans. See you tomorrow night. Peace.
Podcast: Real America’s Voice / iHeartPodcasts
Host: Alex Stein
Guest: Danny Polishuk (Comedian)
Date: March 12, 2026
This episode of After Hours with Alex Stein dives into the intersection of American politics, culture, religion, and international conflict, with a signature blend of irreverent humor and unfiltered commentary. Stein targets the current mayor of New York City, Zoran Mamdani, with satirical scrutiny over his leadership style and controversial public religious events. The show addresses current threats of terrorism, anti-Semitism, and the potential for increased domestic attacks linked to ongoing war with Iran. Comedian Danny Polishuk joins to discuss rising cultural tensions, satire in digital media, and injects comedic relief with viral video breakdowns and reflections on North American identity.
(01:37-04:26)
Stein lampoons Mayor Zoran Mamdani for hosting Muslim influencers at Gracie Mansion/City Hall to celebrate Ramadan, poking fun at the optics and customs (eating with hands, sitting "Indian style"), labeling it “peak cringe.”
Stein accuses Mamdani of “trolling” by being the first mayor sworn in on a Quran, and criticizes this public display of religious practice as disrespectful to the office.
Broader themes: decline of NYC's cultural and civic standards, rise in crime, housing for immigrants, wasteful subway spending, and “communist” leadership.
“Instead of actually fixing the problems in a city that has exponential amount of them…he’d rather do an influencer dinner where they’re eating chicken biryani with their hands.” (06:05, Alex Stein)
“Now we got a Muslim pothead mayor…I say it all the time…reality is stranger than fiction.” (08:11, Alex Stein)
(15:19-18:15)
With recent terror attacks (e.g., at Temple Israel in Michigan), Stein and Polishuk discuss the uptick in threats to Jewish communities and the evolving profile of attackers (naturalized citizens, not border crossers).
Polishuk shares personal feelings: he’s not worried for himself but notes elevated concern among older Jews and the long-standing presence of security at synagogues.
Discussion expands to wider immigrant demographics (Indians in DFW area), clarifying that not all immigrants or communities pose threats.
“When I was a kid and I got dragged to synagogue…they would have like three or four police officers there. And this was in the 90s…” (16:28, Danny Polishuk)
(18:26-20:00; 38:15-40:37)
Stein and Polishuk muse on the potential for Iranian-backed false flag attacks and the readiness of sleeper cells. Topic branches into skepticism over online conspiracy narratives, both against the US and Iran.
Later, the conversation evaluates Trump’s strategy in the new Iran war, questions about negotiation, possible US exit strategies, and the durability of Iran’s internal military structure.
“There’s a lot of people online who are convinced America is constantly either about to do a false flag or has in the past, but they could never consider the possibility that Iran would do one.” (18:54, Danny Polishuk)
(27:39-32:46)
Stein praises Polishuk’s viral video work—especially media parodies using AI, like the “controversial mural” video lampooning overlapping symbols of identity politics (Palestinian woman with watermelon).
The pair mock both the oversensitivity and self-importance in current cultural conversations, underscoring the humor in hypocrisy.
“It’s the victimhood Olympics…our thing’s more important than your thing right now.” (30:46, Danny Polishuk)
(32:46-37:37)
Polishuk’s satirical video about Spirit Airlines’ “uncomfortable” flying experience elicits jokes about the airline's reputation and the broader issue of people playing speakers loudly in public.
The topic broadens to New York life: subway pet peeves, security concerns, and frustrations with recently overhauled subway turnstiles—deemed easier to bypass than the old ones.
“My…greatest…personal cause is people…playing speakers out loud. It is the sign of just like, a low trust, no social contract kind of society.” (35:38, Danny Polishuk)
(38:15-41:37)
Stein and Polishuk analyze the prospects of the war in Iran, Trump’s exit options, the complex military structure in Iran (IRGC and regular army), and the threat posed by Iran-funded proxy groups.
Polishuk describes accounts from Iranian political prisoners, hinting at the challenges and limitations of Iran’s military.
“They don’t even give us guns because they’re worried that the citizens…would actually turn on them…” (41:12, Danny Polishuk)
(44:54-46:14)
Stein plays and comments on a viral clip featuring rapper Birdman refusing to provide books to inmates (“Books ain’t gonna help you”), using it to pivot to a commentary about Real America’s Voice promoting “inspiring” music rather than “degenerate” mainstream tunes.
Closing messages touch on the importance of local politics, community, and realistic expectations from politicians.
“Idolizing a politician is like thinking the stripper actually likes you…The stripper doesn’t like you.” (49:32, Alex Stein)
“If it was okay to have anal sex, no apologies... She wants to kill babies, but she's still beautiful. Look at that booty on AOC. That's my favorite big booty.”
— Alex Stein, [01:04]
“These people don't even use silverware…they’re like savages. I might get some kickback for that, but these people…”
— Alex Stein, [04:28]
“Reality is stranger than fiction. We need to go back to Rudy Giuliani…if there was crime, he was gonna wipe it out.”
— Alex Stein, [08:11]
"I’m personally not worried…when I was a kid and I got dragged to a synagogue…they would have like three or four police officers there. And this was in the 90s."
— Danny Polishuk, [16:15]
“In Canada, their Hockey Canada…budget…the same as what it was 20 ago. They haven’t put…any more money into this…we need to course correct…we don’t even have hockey anymore.”
— Danny Polishuk, [21:28]
“It’s the victimhood Olympics kind of thing where she’s just like, our thing’s more important than your thing right now…”
— Danny Polishuk, [30:46]
“My only fantasy is just telling some guy on the train to turn a speaker off. It’s the only fantasy I have.”
— Danny Polishuk, [36:23]
“They don’t even give us guns because they’re worried that the citizens…would actually turn on them…”
— Danny Polishuk, [41:12]
