Mamdani Promises 30% Lower Groceries — Here’s Why He’s Lying

About this episode

Zohran Mamdani says his grocery store plan is about compassion. His own deputy mayor just told you it’s about control. Here is the real question…does this even have a chance of working? SPONSOR: Angel Studios Young Washington tells the untold origin story of George Washington at 20, showing how his failures and near-death experiences shaped the leader who won America's independence. Perfectly timed for America's 250th, it's the blockbuster event of the summer and one to see on the big screen.
