Leighton Smith Podcast #305 - October 8th 2025 - Patrick Basham
Description
Patrick Basham, founder of Democracy Institute in Washington DC, returns in Podcast 305 to analyse the New York mayoralty election.
How could the biggest city in a country founded on freedom, be on the verge of electing a marxist muslim as its Mayor?
This is a position that is claimed by some to rank second only to the Presidency.
Zohran Mamdani looks set to take the mayoralty in the November 4 election.
Patrick also discusses other idiocies (of which there are many), in a most enjoyable interview.
