Zohran Mamdani — the Ugandan-born Muslim socialist making a serious run for New York City mayor — is sparking national debate. Is he the city’s next AOC… or a dangerous radical?

In this episode, Henry and Danny break down Mamdani’s platform and persona — from his rent freeze and city-owned grocery stores to his viral exchange on Israel. They debate the so-called “Sharia socialist” narrative, why conservatives are losing their minds over his wardrobe, and how his rise exposes deep shifts in American populism.

We explore:

🏙️ Rent freezes, affordable housing, and “cracking down on landlords”

🧾 His plan to tax millionaires + corporations to fund public programs

🚍 Free buses, mental health investments, and “community safety”

💥 The culture war backlash from Fox News and right-wing media

🗽 What Mamdani’s rise says about the future of left-wing populism in America
