Jul 28, 2026 · 1h 8m

Summary

Ben Shapiro condemns NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani for releasing a database of property owners to incite class warfare and proposing government-run grocery stores that he argues will destroy the local economy. Shapiro asserts Mamdani’s victory stems from anti-American sentiment rather than economic policy, highlighting his associations with figures who minimized 9/11. The host contrasts these socialist policies with polling data showing Americans prefer targeted assistance and work requirements over universal basic income.
