Trump ROASTS "Communist Lunatic" Zohran Mamdani After NYC Dem Primary Win w/ Matthew Faraci
Featuring: Matthew Faraci
Episode Recap
Tim Pool and the Timcast IRL crew discussed the shocking outcome of the New York City Democratic primary where socialist candidate Zohran Mamdani won the nomination despite not being born in the United States. The panel roasted Mamdani's extreme policy proposals including free buses, eliminating police, government-run grocery stores, and a $30 minimum wage. Donald Trump's viral post calling Mamdani a 'communist lunatic' was a major topic, with Trump suggesting AOC for VP and Jasmine Crockett for president in a satirical critique of the Democratic Party's leftward shift.

Guest Matthew Faraci joined to discuss foreign policy implications, while Phil Abanti brought an anti-communist perspective to the culture war discussions.
