Concerns About Mamdani's Inner Circle

- Examples include his wife's illustrations tied to praise of October 7th and his father's comparison of Lincoln to Hitler, which Jillian uses to argue a troubling pattern.
Impact Of Proposed 50% Death Tax
- Mamdani proposes raising New York's estate tax from 16% to 50% and lowering the exemption to $750,000, which Jillian argues would hit middle-class inheritances.

Specific Programs Targeted By New Taxes
- Jillian lists specific budget items Mamdani plans to fund with tax increases and calls them 'woke' expenditures that divert money from core services.
