Available for over a year.

NYC’s new mayor says his new budget will save the city billions without cutting key services. In a social media post, Zohran Mamdani told New Yorkers that his administration “found a $12 billion budget deficit. Today, I’m proud to say we’ve brought it down to zero. We haven’t closed the gap on workers’ backs. But beyond the headlines, how accurate is this and what do New Yorkers have to say about it? In this episode, Justin, Anthony and Mariana with Matt Chorley on 5 Live They’ve answered your questions. They also talk about how Trump’s social media posts are now less weighty, especially when it comes to Iran and a new move by Senate Democrats to take money from the president’s new ballroom plan, including a gold phone in Trump’s name.
