1 00:00:01,120 --> 00:00:03,560 Speaker 1: Let's go statesides. Of course, we have a new miror 2 00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:06,120 Speaker 1: of New York City who's gannering headlines, one because he's 3 00:00:06,160 --> 00:00:08,480 Speaker 1: the first Muslim mir of New York City, but also 4 00:00:08,600 --> 00:00:11,760 Speaker 1: because in the financial capital of the world, arguably we 5 00:00:11,840 --> 00:00:14,840 Speaker 1: have a socialist mia to Groutie Dave is with me 6 00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:18,599 Speaker 1: from Feature Story News this morning. Good morning morning. So 7 00:00:19,079 --> 00:00:20,840 Speaker 1: he's just head a press conference. What's he's saying, do 8 00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:21,119 Speaker 1: we know? 9 00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:26,520 Speaker 2: Well, he has essentially been talking about the reasons why 10 00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:30,880 Speaker 2: he's won. He's been taking questions and he is really 11 00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:34,040 Speaker 2: you know, I think playing on that victory speech that 12 00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:36,760 Speaker 2: he gave where he was talking about, you know, how 13 00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:41,200 Speaker 2: his campaign has defeated a dynasty, a political dynasty, talking 14 00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:44,440 Speaker 2: about Andrew Coomo, his major rival, who got the backing 15 00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:48,720 Speaker 2: of Donald Trump. Despite that Coomo didn't get you know, 16 00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:52,000 Speaker 2: enough Republicans to go on board and you know, go 17 00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:55,279 Speaker 2: vote for Cuomo. And so, you know, I think this 18 00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:58,560 Speaker 2: is a real shift in for the Democrats in many 19 00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:01,520 Speaker 2: ways because they've been kind of in the wilderness a 20 00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:05,920 Speaker 2: little bit since Donald Trump's election, and they're getting a 21 00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:09,319 Speaker 2: little bit of you know, wind under their sales looking 22 00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:11,440 Speaker 2: forward to the midterms, and I think this is just 23 00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:14,119 Speaker 2: sort of the momentum in New York. You know, this 24 00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:16,600 Speaker 2: is what he's really been talking about. The cost of 25 00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:20,600 Speaker 2: living is what Zoron Mum Danny really rode on. And 26 00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:23,720 Speaker 2: it's an indication that that is really what elections ride on. 27 00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:26,319 Speaker 2: It's the economy, stupid, That's what we're always told. And 28 00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:30,000 Speaker 2: I think this election proves that that is still the case. 29 00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:34,440 Speaker 1: And yet the Democrats aren't running towards some arms open, 30 00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:36,960 Speaker 1: are they. I mean, this is the awkward thing for them. 31 00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:40,640 Speaker 1: They he's quite radical in terms of the political spectrum 32 00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:43,720 Speaker 1: in the US, so trying to present that and this 33 00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:45,720 Speaker 1: is why the Republicans are trying to paint him as 34 00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:49,559 Speaker 1: the defecto leader of the Democrats, right, because it's better 35 00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:50,680 Speaker 1: for them. 36 00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:54,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, this is the Democrats have always had this issue. 37 00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:57,480 Speaker 2: You know, when you look at in primaries when Bernie 38 00:01:57,520 --> 00:01:59,560 Speaker 2: Sanders was running, you've always had the left of the 39 00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:03,640 Speaker 2: party and the so called moderates of the party wrestling 40 00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:08,280 Speaker 2: as to the identity of the Democratic Party as a whole. 41 00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:10,320 Speaker 2: And I thinks or On Mum Danny is part of 42 00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:13,120 Speaker 2: that conversation that the Democrats are going to be having. 43 00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:17,440 Speaker 2: You know, people like Chuck Schumer didn't endorse mum Dani before, 44 00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:22,079 Speaker 2: openly endorse mum Danny before his victory, and now is 45 00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:24,640 Speaker 2: talking about how this is his victory and there's results 46 00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:28,160 Speaker 2: results as a whole of Democratic candidates winning on different 47 00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:31,400 Speaker 2: ballots in different ballots is a repudiation of Donald Trump. 48 00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:34,000 Speaker 2: So they're really juggling with this idea of somebody who 49 00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:38,440 Speaker 2: calls himself unashamingly a democratic socialist, who is you know, 50 00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:42,480 Speaker 2: the city's first Muslim mayor, who is a immigrant. All 51 00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:44,519 Speaker 2: of this is an identity. How do they grapple that 52 00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:46,120 Speaker 2: with the moderates who are saying, well, we need to 53 00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:48,680 Speaker 2: be making talking points that are going to be bringing 54 00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:49,640 Speaker 2: Repubs over. 55 00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:53,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly, and Tregriuty appreciate that reporting this morning.
