## Resource

NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani has hit his first 100 days in office — and New York City is teetering on the edge of total collapse. From a staggering $12 billion deficit to the 'dog-whistling' targeting of billionaires, the Big Apple is turning into a cautionary tale for the entire Western world. Harry Cole is joined by native New Yorker and host of The Rubin Report, Dave Rubin, to discuss the exodus of wealth, the rise of radicalism, and why New York is now Gotham City without a Caped Crusader to come to the rescue. "IT IS THE GREATEST EXAMPLE OF WHY SOCIALISM DOESN'T WORK." Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
