## Resource

Roger Stone interviews actor Robert Davi regarding the controversial omission of Little Italy from a list of New York City’s ethnic neighborhoods. Davi delivers a passionate critique of Mayor Zohran Mandami, characterizing the oversight not as a clerical error but as a form of cultural erasure driven by a Marxist political philosophy that ignores the historical contributions of European immigrants. The conversation bridges local policy with broader national concerns, as Davi warns against the erosion of meritocracy and the rise of social instability he associates with leftist governance.
