New York, New Left (ft. Inez Stepman)

In this episode of The Roundtable, Spencer Clavin, Ryan Williams, and Inez Stepman discuss Zohran Mamdani, a rising Democratic Socialist politician in New York, analyzing his background, policies, and appeal to different voter demographics, particularly the "woke white people." They debate whether his success is driven by class issues, ethnic identity, or a combination of both, and consider his potential impact on the Democratic Party and New York City politics. The conversation then shifts to a Supreme Court decision on Trump v. Casa, focusing on the balance of power between the executive and judicial branches, the implications of universal injunctions, and the potential for future legal challenges. They also touch on the quality and selection processes of judges, and the importance of maintaining public trust in the court system. The hosts conclude with recommendations, including a 4th of July charcuterie board and a poem by Alfred Lord Tennyson.
