Leighton Smith Podcast #305 - October 8th 2025 - Patrick Basham

Patrick Basham, founder of Democracy Institute in Washington DC, returns in Podcast 305 to analyse the New York mayoralty election. How could the biggest city in a country founded on freedom, be on the verge of electing a marxist muslim as its Mayor? This is a position that is claimed by some to rank second only to the Presidency. Zohran Mamdani looks set to take the mayoralty in the November 4 election. Patrick also discusses other idiocies (of which there are many), in a most enjoyable interview. File your comments and complaints at [email protected] Haven't listened to a podcast before?
