Todd reacts to Zohran Mamdani’s New York City victory speech and the roaring crowd that cheered the line “no problem too large for government to solve.” In this episode, Todd contrasts big-government promises with Reagan’s warning—“I’m from the government and I’m here to help”—and unpacks why identity-politics rhetoric resonates with voters despite its lack of substance. You’ll hear multiple clips from Mamdani’s speech with Todd’s live interjections, then a candid discussion on first principles: limited government, individual responsibility, justice vs. “social justice,” and why trying to make the state a stand-in for God always fails. Plus, a quick tour through what last night’s results signal for conservatives and why winning the battle of ideas matters more than ever.
