Joe Rogan blew the mind of a guest during a recent episode of his podcast by simply comparing Zohran Mamdani’s budget for New York City to the budget for the entire state of Florida.

Florida has three times as many people as New York City but operates on a much leaner budget than the Big Apple.

The guest is podcaster and writer Michael Malice, who has his face painted for some reason, perhaps for Halloween.

Partial transcript via the Vigilant Fox:

ROGAN: “You see, Mamdani is trying to figure out a way to use his budget. His budget is higher than the budget of the entire state of Florida, which has three times more people.”

MALICE: “No, it’s not. Is it really?”

ROGAN: “Yes, it is. Yeah.”

MALICE: “No way!”

ROGAN: “Yeah, yeah, yeah. Look it up… New York City’s budget… is more than the budget for the entire state of Florida, which has roughly three times as many people living in it.”

MALICE: “Holy… is that true, Jamie?”

ROGAN (reading): “Eye-popping amount… insider called ‘insanity’… a record $127 billion budget proposal… The socialist city leader’s plan includes a whopping 9.5% proposed property tax hike on New Yorkers, which he claims would be a last resort, while allocating another $1.2 billion for migrants. MIGRANTS!”

MALICE: “What’s the Florida budget, Jamie?”

[Malice sees the numbers]

MALICE: “HOLY SH*T!”

ROGAN: “Yeah, triple per capita. So the Florida House budget is $113.6 billion to $115 billion (proposed), and the New York proposal is $127 billion. So it is more.”

MALICE: “Holy crap!”

CONTEXT: New York City’s current budget is $125,800,000,000 for about 8.5 million people. Florida’s is $117,600,000,000 for about 23 million.

That’s roughly $14,800 per New Yorker versus $5,100 per Floridian.

Isn’t it incredible that New York City has that kind of budget and it’s STILL not enough for Mamdani?

He actually wants to raise taxes to bring in more.

He can’t find a single wasteful program to cut? Not even one?
