Episode 51: He's From the Government and NOT Here To Help | Mamdani vs President Reagan

from Restoring America with Grace Reilly · host Grace Reilly

Zohran Mamdani wants to spend $30 million of New Yorkers' money on five city-run stores that won't open until 2029. That's four times what a comparable private store would cost. In this episode I go through why this idea has already been tried elsewhere, and what actually happened. In today's episode, I cover the economic mess already unfolding under Mamdani's leadership and how government-controlled food distribution led to bread lines, 82% poverty, and somewhere between 7 and 9 million people fleeing Venezuela.
