Is New York becoming the center of America’s next major economic battle? Elaine Parker sits down with Nicole Huyer of the Heritage Foundation to break down the growing debate over taxes, government-run grocery stores, affordability, business regulation, and the broader impact of economic policies spreading beyond New York City.

The conversation explores whether policies like rent control, higher taxes on wealthy residents, and expanded government programs help working families—or risk driving businesses and investment elsewhere. They also discuss migration trends, entrepreneurship, free-market economics, and what these debates could mean for small businesses and communities across the country.
