Zohran Mamdani is the Democratic candidate for mayor of New York City. His agenda leans so far to the left, even Chicago would think twice. But if Mamdani does win, it could trigger consequences across the country that the Left might not be ready for. Today’s show takes a closer look.

"There is always a value in contrast," Crowder said. “We’re looking at an actual communist who wants to take over a city that’s already struggling—and make it even worse. And all of this would be happening at the same time Donald Trump is taking the country in the opposite direction.”

Ironically, Donald Trump gained the most support among residents in urban areas.

“That happened because of policies that people like Mamdani want to put on steroids,” Crowder said. "Stalin Mamdani would be a disaster for New York."

The self-proclaimed Democratic Socialist supports policies like price controls and publicly run grocery stores, arguing that prices are out of control. But the irony is that New York City has never exactly been a model of fiscal conservatism—yet he’s promising to triple down on the very policies that helped turn it into one of the most expensive cities in the world.

The man is so extreme that he believes billionaires should not exist.

“Grocery stores are just going to disappear,” Gerald A. said. “And guess who’s going to go out first? Do you think the big chain stores will be the ones to shut down? No—it’ll be every mom-and-pop shop in New York. They’ll either have to close their doors or find something else to sell.”

He also claims he will stand by sanctuary city policies, while also promoting the idea that “violence is an artificial construction.”

"He wants to remove breaking and entering, burglary, and theft from being classified as violent crimes."

So, in other words, just change the definition of crime and pretend the problem is solved. It won’t actually reduce the number of crime victims in the city—but hey, at least the stats will help sell the lie.

“I hate to say it, but New York has to be the sacrificial lamb here. I almost think it would be better if this guy won, so you can lay it at his feet—because New Yorkers, you’re going to get exactly what you’re asking for,” Crowder said.
