New York's New Socialist Mayor

Peter Schweitzer and Eric Eggers sit in for Sean and ring in the new year with a reality check on 2025. They revisit dire forecasts around tariffs, National Guard deployments in cities, and strikes on Iran, comparing them with outcomes they say include a steady market, reduced crime in Washington, D.C., and no broader war. On immigration, they cite figures on self-deportations and removals, argue the labor market remains solid, and note claims of significant tariff revenue and a narrowing deficit. The conversation also touches on reactions from Warren Buffett, Gavin Newsom, J.B. Pritzker, Tucker Carlson, and Mark Cuban. They preview a conversation with Carol Markowitz about New York City's new Democrat socialist mayor. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
