Summary

Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani announced his transition team yesterday. President Trump commented on Mamdani’s victory as the next mayor of NYC. Mark interviews economist Steve Moore. Is Mamdani’s proposal to match New Jersey’s tax rates in NYC a smart move to help the poor? Could “socialism in the city” hurt the economy? Socialism may or may not be good for the economy. How did Zohran Mamdani mobilize so many young voters? Were backroom deals involved in his campaign success? Mark interviews former mayoral candidate Curtis Sliwa. Curtis called Mamdani after his win and explained how their conversation went. Will we ever hear from Andrew Cuomo again? Mark argues Sliwa did not cost Cuomo the election.

0:54.5	give you the whole story of how he did this. It's an interesting behind the scene story of how
1:00.0	he went from zero to 41% to 50% and to win the election, with a majority, by the way,
