So I want to tell you about the Inner Circle dinner play that I attended at the Zieg Field on Saturday night. So this is the Press Association of New York City. And every year they put on a very clever play, spoofing New York City politics. And it's been going on, I think more to 100 years.

It's not as robust as it used to be. They're very good, by the way. The play is good and the performance are good, but it used to be a much more powerful event. So the governor and the mayor, but there were no big shots there on Saturday night. There were a few journalists like me, but not as many as there should have been. No. Governor Patterson there and a few other people that of note, but mostly they were advertisers, people who buy time on various media in New York City.

Anyway, I picked up a bunch of stuff at the minute that matter to you. No one, no one, and these are insiders, feels that Mayor Adams is going to be reelected. no one zero because he has no constituency no power base it's going to run as an independent i don't mind him doing that i think that's a good thing but he's got no record and he's going to say trial crime is down blah blah blah and it's true it is true let's give the police uh credit but social disorder is not down it's up and people tie in a perception of safety, stats are stats, they're bloodless. But if you're walking around Manhattan, you know their social order is shaky. And that's de Blasio. Oh, he did it. But

Adams didn't approve it at all. And then you just get a bunch of chaos. So Cuomo's going to be the next mayor unless some miracle that Curtis Slewa can get enough money and get enough organization to get people out. But right now, man, if you're going to Vegas, Cuomo far ahead. Also, this was not discussed at the inner circle dinner, but it caught my eye. So you know who Daniel Morton Bentley is? I didn't know. I bet you nobody listening to me right now knows who Daniel Morton Bentley is. He is the Deputy Commissioner for Legal affairs, okay, at the New York State Education Department. So he's in Albany, I guess.

So he says, and remember, nobody knows who he is, that New York City and state are not going to obey President Trump's executive order on DEI, diversity, equity, inclusion. And Morton Bentley says, quote, that the federal government does not have the authority to knock out DEI when it obviously does because Trump signed an executive order. But this guy writes a letter to the U.S. Education Department on Friday, April 4th, and says, you know what, blank you, we're not going to do it. In our schools, we're going to have diversity, equity, and inclusion, which means that if you want to apply to Stony Brook or Albany State or another state school, and they want to say, yeah, we'll let you in because you're black, then they will. Well, then the Trump administration is, hey, you're not going to get any money.

And what is Daniel Morton Bentley going to do about that? He'll file suit through Letitia James, but they'll lose because federal law trumps state and local law by the Constitution. That's it. This is all for show. It's all virtue signaling. I thought you'd like to know about it.
