Josh Hammer pulls no punches in blasting the newly sworn in democratic socialist mayor of NYC, Zohran Mamdani. Josh explains how Mamdani's praise of the "warmth of collectivism" has terrifying historical connotations, given the totalitarian horrors of the 21st century. Josh then explains why 2025 was actually an excellent year in both domestic politics and global affairs, contrary to the over-abundance of media hysteria suggesting the opposite. Finally, Josh offers his 2026 political wish list, encompassing global affairs, the economy, pending Supreme Court cases, and more.
