In just a few days, New York City, the world's business capital, will have a new mayor, Zoran Momdani. The self-described democratic socialist platform includes free buses, universal childcare, and city-run grocery stores. Prominent Democrats hesitated to support Momdany in New York City's mayoral race. Since his victory, Republicans nationwide have been raising red flags about his policies.

However, critics fear his use of class warfare tactics and promotion of reliance on the government may harken back to the early stages of other failed or even destructive political movements in world history. FOX Business’ Lydia Hu speaks with Dr. Eric Patterson, the President and CEO of the Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation in Washington, D.C., to discuss his organization, the dangers of ‘class warfare’ rhetoric and policies, and why he fears Mamdani’s popularity could signal a shift in American politics.

The past year has been a rough one for many Americans as the Trump administration works on what it says is a recovery from the Biden-era policies that drove up the cost of living. And while there has been improvement, especially compared to the peak inflation of 2022, a struggle continues. Recently, we spoke with Carol Roth, a former investment banker, entrepreneur, and author of the book "You Will Own Nothing, about what she calls the “wealth paradox.” Roth discussed what's driving inflation and why consumer spending remains strong despite higher prices. She also offered tips on how to get more out of your money and how to avoid unnecessary costs. We often must cut interviews short during the week, but we thought you might like to hear the full interview. Today on Fox News Rundown Extra, we will share our entire interview with Carol Roth.
