## Resource

New York City Democrat Mayor Zohran Mamdani announced that anyone who owns a second house in NYC will soon have to pay more in taxes. Glenn calls out Mamdani’s radical tax plan, arguing it will shrink the housing supply, reduce city revenue, and eventually hit regular homeowners and renters harder than the wealthy the tax was meant to target. Glenn also criticizes Mamdani’s manipulation tactic of implementing more taxes to allegedly pay for more libraries and fire departments. Glenn discusses the recent stabbing in New York City by individuals yelling a popular Arabic phrase. Glenn looks to history as anti-Semitism is becoming widespread, as voters in New York City are repeating past mistakes. Conservative Partnership Institute Vice President of Programs Rachel Bovard joins to discuss the SAVE Act and how people like Sen. John Thune (R-S.D.) are standing in the way of its passing. Glenn eviscerates the various elected Republicans who are standing in the way of actual progress. Glenn discusses the latest attempt by the Left to claim climate change is responsible for the rising heat in Europe, but Glenn reveals what’s actually happening.  Learn more about your ad choices.
