In the wake of Zohran Mamdani’s historic election in New York City, Jon is joined by Lina Khan, former Chair of the Federal Trade Commission and newly appointed co-chair of the mayor-elect’s transition team. Together, they discuss what tools the government has — both federally and locally — to advance policies that benefit consumers, examine how corporate interests are prioritized at the expense of a competitive market, and consider what it will take to build an economy that delivers for working people. Plus, Jon talks about the Epstein files and Jewish space lasers!
