They tried. 0:00:57.960 --> 0:01:00.680 They threw every they threw the kitchen scene at this guy, 0:01:01.160 --> 0:01:01.800 and it didn't work. 0:01:01.840 --> 0:01:03.160 He won a majority of the vote. 0:01:03.280 --> 0:01:05.680 In the last days they were like, if only Slee 0:01:05.680 --> 0:01:08.440 wa pulls out. The whole campaign was sleeve. What pull 0:01:08.440 --> 0:01:09.960 out doesn't matter if Slee would pulled out, he won 0:01:10.000 --> 0:01:11.520 more than fifty percent of the vote, He won a 0:01:11.560 --> 0:01:12.640 majority in New York. 0:01:12.959 --> 0:01:15.360 He won more than a million votes. It's been I 0:01:15.360 --> 0:01:16.040 think something. 0:01:15.840 --> 0:01:18.479 Like this said sixty years since a New York meracle 0:01:18.720 --> 0:01:21.880 won over a million votes. So none of this stuff worked. 0:01:22.280 --> 0:01:24.600 They'll keep going after in the billionaires. And I pointed 0:01:24.600 --> 0:01:27.240 out last night, Dora Mum, Danny did not just be 0:01:27.360 --> 0:01:29.720 Andrew Cuomo and Curtis. 0:01:29.480 --> 0:01:30.440 Sleewer do ramon. 0:01:30.520 --> 0:01:34.759 Danny beat Bill Ackman and Michael Bloomberg and Reid Hastings 0:01:34.800 --> 0:01:37.679 and James Murdock and the Walmart woman and the home 0:01:37.720 --> 0:01:40.440 Depot guy and door Dash and Airbnb and all the 0:01:40.440 --> 0:01:43.119 billionaires and corporations who threw all that cash at him. 0:01:43.160 --> 0:01:43.600 You beat them. 0:01:43.720 --> 0:01:46.200 What do you think about Bill Lackman reaching out last night? 0:01:47.040 --> 0:01:48.160 What did you think of it all? 0:01:48.280 --> 0:01:50.840 It was a very short tweet, Bill Ackman writes, these 0:01:50.920 --> 0:01:54.920 Warren piece toll story tweets, very short tweet. You know, 0:01:54.960 --> 0:01:57.000 I tweeted last night thoughts some prayers to b Lackman 0:01:57.040 --> 0:01:59.800 and Elon Musk. This guy spent his entire campaign attacking 0:02:00.080 --> 0:02:04.400 He suggested that Zora Mundani is some crazy jahadis terrorist, 0:02:04.520 --> 0:02:05.120 radical and. 0:02:05.040 --> 0:02:06.640 For people that don't know who he is, he's a 0:02:06.680 --> 0:02:09.560 he's a hedge fund manager. He's worth about ten billion dollars. 0:02:09.680 --> 0:02:11.200 I envy the people who don't know who he is. 0:02:11.240 --> 0:02:14.200 I wish I didn't know who he was. He spends 0:02:14.200 --> 0:02:16.960 a lot of money and time online and what's It's 0:02:17.000 --> 0:02:20.639 why people hate politics in this country, right, It's so cynical. 0:02:20.800 --> 0:02:22.720 He spent the entire campaign saying that guy is. 0:02:22.680 --> 0:02:26.880 A terrorist, he hates Jews like the most extreme incendiary rhetoric. 0:02:26.960 --> 0:02:29.000 And then he wins. He's like, hey man, I'll work 0:02:29.000 --> 0:02:30.720 with you. You need me, I'm here for you. 0:02:30.760 --> 0:02:32.320 Hold on, I thought you just told us the end 0:02:32.360 --> 0:02:34.120 of the world was gonna happen if this guy won, Like, 0:02:34.240 --> 0:02:36.400 make your mind up, but I do have a question. 0:02:36.440 --> 0:02:39.200 So a lot of people were saying that Mamdanney promised 0:02:39.240 --> 0:02:41.960 a lot and the unit elevator and some of the 0:02:42.000 --> 0:02:42.960 things he said free and. 0:02:42.960 --> 0:02:47.120 Rent free, eliminating fans universe building. 0:02:46.840 --> 0:02:50.560 Lots, and they are going to be on raising taxes. 0:02:50.560 --> 0:02:54.840 He's gonna taxes when the top earners and corporations. 0:02:54.320 --> 0:02:56.880 Building two hundred thousand houses. So he's going to be 0:02:56.919 --> 0:02:58.880 on a timer. So what do you say to those people? 0:02:58.960 --> 0:03:01.040 Could he get Can he get all those things done? 0:03:01.080 --> 0:03:03.040 With everybody against him in politics? 0:03:03.080 --> 0:03:06.240 I should say, well, what's interesting is that everybody is 0:03:06.240 --> 0:03:07.959 not against them. The public are with him. Right, he's 0:03:07.960 --> 0:03:10.480 got a massive mandate. Donald Trump is a man. Let 0:03:10.480 --> 0:03:12.200 me just put context. Donald Trump is a man who's 0:03:12.240 --> 0:03:13.799 never won more than fifty percent of the vote. 0:03:13.919 --> 0:03:14.040 Right. 0:03:14.040 --> 0:03:16.400 In twenty sixteen, he lost the popular vote, still beat Hillary. 0:03:16.520 --> 0:03:18.760 In twenty twenty he lost popular vote and everything else 0:03:18.800 --> 0:03:20.800 to Biden. In twenty twenty four, last year, he got 0:03:20.800 --> 0:03:23.000 fourty nine points something percent of the vote. He never 0:03:23.240 --> 0:03:25.520 hit fifty percent. Have you listened to how Republicans talk 0:03:25.560 --> 0:03:27.480 like they owned the place. We have a mandate. Millions 0:03:27.520 --> 0:03:29.440 of people voted for this. The people are with Trump. 0:03:29.840 --> 0:03:32.000 You need to have democratic leaders who are willing to 0:03:32.040 --> 0:03:33.639 do the same thing. I want to hear Zara mound 0:03:33.680 --> 0:03:35.960 Nani in every speech, go more than a million people 0:03:36.000 --> 0:03:37.640 vote for me, like that should be his line in 0:03:37.720 --> 0:03:39.520 every interview, at the start and end of every time 0:03:39.560 --> 0:03:41.400 he talks, because that is his mandate. Those are the 0:03:41.400 --> 0:03:43.280 people who are with him. And the fact that you 0:03:43.360 --> 0:03:46.840 were able to just reel off his policies. 0:03:46.360 --> 0:03:47.280 Because he said it so much. 0:03:47.360 --> 0:03:50.360 Yeah, and because it works right Like Hillary Clinton ran 0:03:50.400 --> 0:03:52.240 with like a seven hundred page policy platform, no one 0:03:52.320 --> 0:03:54.600 knew what it was. Donald Trump said, band Muslims build 0:03:54.600 --> 0:03:56.360 a wall. People remember that stuff. So it was a 0:03:56.360 --> 0:04:00.000 political genius to communicate with those kind of simple popular appeals. 0:04:00.320 --> 0:04:02.120 Is he gonna pull it all off? We will see. 0:04:02.200 --> 0:04:03.560 I mean, we know that he doesn't have the power 0:04:03.600 --> 0:04:05.880 to do everything on his own. Luckily, the governor is 0:04:05.880 --> 0:04:09.160 now an ally Kathy. Even though Schumer and others wouldn't 0:04:09.200 --> 0:04:10.920 back him, he did get the backing of the governor. 0:04:10.960 --> 0:04:13.360 I interviewed Tiss James last night at the Attorney General. 0:04:13.400 --> 0:04:16.240 He's got the backing of some big figures in the state. Well, 0:04:16.279 --> 0:04:16.960 will that be enough? 0:04:16.960 --> 0:04:17.679 We will see. 0:04:18.000 --> 0:04:19.680 We will see whether the smile and the charm and 0:04:19.680 --> 0:04:22.000 the charisma and the people power will get Albany to 0:04:22.040 --> 0:04:23.200 do some of the stuff because he can't do it 0:04:23.240 --> 0:04:23.560 on his own. 0:04:23.560 --> 0:04:25.240 You're right, well, Governor Hog already says she's not going 0:04:25.279 --> 0:04:26.080 to read the taxes. 0:04:26.600 --> 0:04:28.279 She says she's not gonna raise taxes, but she also 0:04:28.320 --> 0:04:30.600 said she supports his plan for universal childcare. So at 0:04:30.640 --> 0:04:32.320 some point, the robber's gonna hit the road. How do 0:04:32.320 --> 0:04:34.440 you pay for it? It can only be through raising 0:04:34.520 --> 0:04:35.680 taxes on rich folks. 0:04:35.839 --> 0:04:38.000 Can it be free bus service in New York City? 0:04:39.200 --> 0:04:40.680 I mean there could be anything you want. 0:04:41.240 --> 0:04:44.080 I mean, realistically, could that happen? 0:04:44.279 --> 0:04:46.600 I live in a country whereol every day. 0:04:46.640 --> 0:04:51.200 I mean, I live in a country where the guy 0:04:51.240 --> 0:04:54.760 from Home alone too is president threatening to annex Greenland. 0:04:54.920 --> 0:04:56.839 And you tell me if free buses are realistic. I 0:04:56.839 --> 0:04:59.120 think a lot of things are realistic if you put 0:04:59.120 --> 0:05:02.200 your I mean Socrats are always trying to lower the ambition, 0:05:02.320 --> 0:05:04.720 and Republicans are like, we'll do whatever the hell we want, 0:05:04.839 --> 0:05:07.839 will conquer countries, will bum things, We'll do all sorts 0:05:07.839 --> 0:05:08.600 of insane things. 0:05:08.640 --> 0:05:09.520 And Democrats are. 0:05:09.400 --> 0:05:12.000 Like, oh, can we do this little bit for poor 0:05:12.000 --> 0:05:14.839 people or marginalized people or people who need help? And 0:05:14.880 --> 0:05:17.200 I just think, come on, New York, biggest city in 0:05:17.200 --> 0:05:18.719 the country, richest city in the country. 0:05:18.839 --> 0:05:21.400 You can't do this stuff. Yes, you can do it. 0:05:21.560 --> 0:05:22.680 You know how to do. I really do. 0:05:22.800 --> 0:05:24.560 And by the way, if they block him, I mean, 0:05:24.560 --> 0:05:26.279 this is a man who will run again on this platform. 0:05:26.440 --> 0:05:29.080 I mean FDR ran in the nineteen thirties on the 0:05:29.120 --> 0:05:31.599 basis that, look, they hate me, the rich people, and 0:05:31.600 --> 0:05:34.159 I embrace their hatred. And I can very much see 0:05:34.200 --> 0:05:36.160 if he doesn't get things through, and it's clear it's 0:05:36.160 --> 0:05:38.039 because of the opponents, he'll run on that again in 0:05:38.040 --> 0:05:38.680 a few years time. 0:05:38.760 --> 0:05:39.680 I want to ask about that. 0:05:39.720 --> 0:05:43.600 How does he navigate the government overreach that is absolutely 0:05:43.600 --> 0:05:44.880 gonna happen to Donald Trump. 0:05:45.760 --> 0:05:47.400 It's a good question. I asked Tis Shamee the same 0:05:47.440 --> 0:05:48.040 question yesterday. 0:05:48.040 --> 0:05:50.520 I mean, all Democratic attorneys generals have been dealing with 0:05:50.560 --> 0:05:52.400 this issue in California, in Illinois. 0:05:52.760 --> 0:05:54.320 We know Donald Trump is now going to. 0:05:54.320 --> 0:05:56.719 Use his excuse to send in the troops, absolutely to 0:05:56.800 --> 0:05:59.479 cut funding. I mean, it's insane that he posted on 0:05:59.520 --> 0:06:02.000 his social side of the weekend, you know if you 0:06:02.080 --> 0:06:04.760 vote for Doromandi, if Zaramond was, I will cut funding 0:06:04.960 --> 0:06:06.360 like that is the classic mono. 0:06:06.440 --> 0:06:07.599 It's crazy, just extortion. 0:06:08.000 --> 0:06:10.480 The country's biggest richest city the present United States says, 0:06:10.560 --> 0:06:11.760 I'm not going to send you any money if you 0:06:11.760 --> 0:06:13.360 don't vote for the guy I want. By the way, 0:06:13.360 --> 0:06:16.039 had the guy you wanted with Andrew Cuomo. So I 0:06:16.160 --> 0:06:17.960 just think that's Look. I don't know if there's any 0:06:17.960 --> 0:06:19.440 solution to this stuff. I think it's not going to 0:06:19.600 --> 0:06:21.640 It can't be Mundaney on his own right. The whole 0:06:21.680 --> 0:06:23.440 point about Donald Trump is you can't beat him on 0:06:23.480 --> 0:06:25.520 his own. You can't beat what he does is he 0:06:25.560 --> 0:06:28.359 goes after institutions and people one by one, like the 0:06:28.360 --> 0:06:30.760 bully in the playground, and takes them out one by one. 0:06:30.880 --> 0:06:33.000 The only way you beat Donald Trump is with solidarity, 0:06:33.000 --> 0:06:35.760 with people sticking together, not people throwing each other under 0:06:35.800 --> 0:06:38.520 the bus, big universities, big tech companies, all trying to 0:06:38.520 --> 0:06:41.240 curry favor. I actually thought the best part of Zora Undaney' 0:06:41.240 --> 0:06:43.960 speech last night was when he went after Trump and 0:06:44.000 --> 0:06:45.839 made it very clear. He said the way you respond 0:06:45.920 --> 0:06:50.320 to oligarchy and authoritarianism is not with the appeasement they crave, 0:06:50.400 --> 0:06:52.440 but with the strength they fear. And he said, you 0:06:52.480 --> 0:06:55.679 get rid of the conditions that create despots like Trump. 0:06:55.720 --> 0:06:57.200 You don't hear that enough of the Democratic Party. 0:06:57.240 --> 0:06:58.720 All you hear from Democrats is we've got to get 0:06:58.800 --> 0:07:00.799 rid of Trump and We're back to business as usual. 0:07:00.960 --> 0:07:01.840 What zoram I'm done? 0:07:01.880 --> 0:07:03.480 He is saying, and Bernie and others have said, is 0:07:03.560 --> 0:07:04.880 you can't just get rid of Trump. You got to 0:07:04.880 --> 0:07:06.400 get rid of the next Trump. And that means getting 0:07:06.440 --> 0:07:08.240 rid of the conditions that created Trump. 0:07:08.480 --> 0:07:12.360 Can you vote out an authoritarian regime? 0:07:12.480 --> 0:07:12.560 Like? 0:07:12.720 --> 0:07:12.880 You know? 0:07:12.920 --> 0:07:17.000 Because I see everybody celebrating, and I'm like, relax, the 0:07:17.040 --> 0:07:19.040 guy is still in power. And I don't care who 0:07:19.040 --> 0:07:20.400 he has a bit of him. Yes, I don't care 0:07:20.440 --> 0:07:23.320 how popular he is. He's got a lot of power 0:07:23.360 --> 0:07:25.640 and he can use that power to, you know, get 0:07:25.680 --> 0:07:27.600 rid of a lot of the checks and balances that 0:07:28.120 --> 0:07:29.160 you know still exist. 0:07:29.520 --> 0:07:31.600 Can you vote that out in twenty twenty six? 0:07:31.720 --> 0:07:33.280 That is twenty twenty eight. I mean, that's the sixty 0:07:33.320 --> 0:07:35.440 four thousand dollars question. It's something I've been worried about 0:07:35.480 --> 0:07:38.000 since twenty eighteen, twenty nineteen, when I said he's not 0:07:38.040 --> 0:07:39.960 going to leave after twenty twenty and he tried to 0:07:40.000 --> 0:07:42.920 stay on. Look, the guy is selling merch for twenty 0:07:42.920 --> 0:07:43.400 twenty eight. 0:07:43.840 --> 0:07:45.360 He's visiting world leaders. 0:07:45.360 --> 0:07:46.760 He takes them to a closet in the White House 0:07:46.760 --> 0:07:48.760 and he shows them twenty twenty eight merch Schumer and 0:07:48.800 --> 0:07:50.600 Jeffery comes to the over offuse, he chucks the twenty 0:07:50.600 --> 0:07:53.120 twenty eight merchant them. He said the other day, oh, 0:07:53.200 --> 0:07:55.040 you know, I'm not going to run his vice president 0:07:55.040 --> 0:07:56.960 and do that again. But he never fully rules it 0:07:57.000 --> 0:07:59.000 out because of course he wants to stay in office. 0:07:59.080 --> 0:08:00.720 And I think that is the question, are we going 0:08:00.760 --> 0:08:02.440 to have free and fair elections in twenty twenty eight. 0:08:02.720 --> 0:08:04.720 But the way to ensure that we do have twenty 0:08:04.760 --> 0:08:06.560 twenty eight free elections, or at least try and ensure 0:08:06.640 --> 0:08:08.600 is is to make sure they don't control every branch 0:08:08.640 --> 0:08:10.920 of government. And what last night's blue wave, and it 0:08:10.960 --> 0:08:13.280 was a blue wave, what that shows us is actually 0:08:13.280 --> 0:08:15.840 the Democrats are a very good path in terms of 0:08:15.840 --> 0:08:16.400 winning back the. 0:08:16.400 --> 0:08:17.000 House next year. 0:08:17.120 --> 0:08:19.480 If they don't win back the House next year, then 0:08:19.840 --> 0:08:21.560 I don't I don't think we see the back of 0:08:21.560 --> 0:08:21.880 this guy. 0:08:22.000 --> 0:08:23.520 I just think there's nothing to stop him at all. 0:08:23.720 --> 0:08:25.240 How should democratical guy last night? 0:08:25.240 --> 0:08:27.760 And what I mean by that is, yeah, Jersey, you 0:08:27.800 --> 0:08:30.920 expect Jersey to go blue. Mayor raised in New York City, 0:08:30.920 --> 0:08:32.880 you expect that to go blue. Prim fifty in California, 0:08:32.880 --> 0:08:34.880 that's the blue state, right, Virginia, you kind of expect 0:08:34.920 --> 0:08:37.840 that the margins margins, Okay, so how should they should 0:08:37.840 --> 0:08:39.640 should there be something they look at and be like, Okay, 0:08:39.679 --> 0:08:41.680 this is a this is a step in the right 0:08:41.720 --> 0:08:42.240 direction for us. 0:08:42.240 --> 0:08:43.600 It's on hundred percent of step in the right direction. 0:08:43.679 --> 0:08:45.440 Especially you look at the Virginia House for example, which 0:08:45.480 --> 0:08:47.120 is seen as a bell whether they won back a 0:08:47.120 --> 0:08:50.120 bunch of seats too proof majority there which so so 0:08:50.200 --> 0:08:51.920 Trump took a beating in all these places, especially in 0:08:52.000 --> 0:08:54.319 Virginia where you know, he fired a bunch of federal workers, doge. 0:08:54.360 --> 0:08:55.520 All of that had a huge impact. 0:08:55.760 --> 0:08:58.040 But look, it's across the board. It's in special elections. 0:08:58.080 --> 0:09:00.880 In Georgia, it's the Prop fifty, a two to one vote. 0:09:01.480 --> 0:09:03.720 I think Gavin Newson will be very pleased with that result. 0:09:04.240 --> 0:09:06.400 There was a statewide race in Georgia for which they 0:09:06.440 --> 0:09:08.760 won as well. You go through the list. In Maine, 0:09:08.880 --> 0:09:13.400 they rejected an attempt to limit early voting and all 0:09:13.440 --> 0:09:16.600 sorts of other voting methods. So it's really really interesting 0:09:16.600 --> 0:09:19.440 that across the board they did well. The margins were big, 0:09:19.640 --> 0:09:22.000 I mean, mikey Ryl, it was looking very close in 0:09:22.040 --> 0:09:24.960 New Jersey just last week she actually was a blowout, right, 0:09:25.240 --> 0:09:27.240 So I do think the margins are big. It does 0:09:27.280 --> 0:09:30.120 bode well for them going into next year. My bigger 0:09:30.160 --> 0:09:32.760 worry is not did they win the House. I hope 0:09:32.760 --> 0:09:34.319 they're win the House, but then what do. 0:09:34.320 --> 0:09:34.840 They do with that? 0:09:34.880 --> 0:09:35.040 Part? 0:09:35.160 --> 0:09:36.920 Like I have no confidence in Heckem Jeffreys, I have 0:09:36.920 --> 0:09:39.839 no confidence in Chuck Schumer. I mean Chuck Schumer was 0:09:39.880 --> 0:09:43.200 asked yesterday who did you vote for in your city? 0:09:43.559 --> 0:09:45.280 And he could not say who he voted for? 0:09:45.720 --> 0:09:48.439 Like disgraceful, doesn't come close enough to you are the 0:09:48.559 --> 0:09:50.280 leader of the Democrats in the Senate and you can't 0:09:50.320 --> 0:09:52.560 say that you voted for the Democratic candidate in New York. 0:09:52.600 --> 0:09:55.320 And by the way, you said new York goes you 0:09:55.360 --> 0:09:56.600 know he's a Democratic city. 0:09:56.600 --> 0:09:58.439 But this guy was up against two candidates. 0:09:58.480 --> 0:10:01.000 He was up against the Republican and the famous Democrat 0:10:01.000 --> 0:10:02.880 with name recognition who was governor of the state. 0:10:03.040 --> 0:10:03.800 Terrible candidates. 0:10:04.000 --> 0:10:04.760 Terrible candidate. 0:10:04.840 --> 0:10:06.960 Ye, and I like Curtis as a person, but. 0:10:06.880 --> 0:10:08.800 They agreed, agreed he got lucky. You need lucky in 0:10:08.800 --> 0:10:11.439 public hill. Donald Trump got lucky in twenty sixteen. You 0:10:11.480 --> 0:10:14.000 could argue with Hillary Clinton. But the point is they 0:10:14.040 --> 0:10:16.679 still outspent him. They still threw the kitchen, sinking him. 0:10:16.720 --> 0:10:18.800 He still had all the billionaire support, he still had 0:10:18.840 --> 0:10:19.679 the Croomo name. 0:10:19.880 --> 0:10:23.079 If you go back nine months, we say terrible calendidate. 0:10:23.080 --> 0:10:25.120 But he had the inevitability or it was like it's 0:10:25.120 --> 0:10:26.400 Andrew Cromo's race to lose. 0:10:26.440 --> 0:10:27.640 He was leading in the primaries. 0:10:27.840 --> 0:10:29.800 This was the guy who was supposed to just naturally 0:10:29.840 --> 0:10:32.440 get it because of his name and experience and money. 0:10:32.480 --> 0:10:34.240 He didn't look got disgraced twice. 0:10:34.320 --> 0:10:36.320 Let me ask what does that mean for Democrats because 0:10:36.320 --> 0:10:39.240 it seems like when the Democrats had somebody they split 0:10:39.280 --> 0:10:41.520 like Voltron RIGHTY had Eric Adam, now he's independent. You 0:10:41.559 --> 0:10:44.120 have Pomo now he's independent. But they're Democrats. But they 0:10:44.160 --> 0:10:46.880 all did this to go at Mombani. So what does 0:10:46.920 --> 0:10:49.000 that mean for Democrats? Because Republicans I don't think would 0:10:49.000 --> 0:10:50.680 ever do that, even if they didn't like the candidate, 0:10:50.679 --> 0:10:52.000 they would still staying behind me. 0:10:51.880 --> 0:10:52.839 I Trump. 0:10:52.960 --> 0:10:55.640 It's a reminder that they keep nominating crappy Democrats. I mean, 0:10:55.640 --> 0:10:57.520 the fact that Eric Adams was the mayor, the fact 0:10:57.559 --> 0:10:59.960 that Andrew Cromo was the governor, tells you volumes about 0:11:00.080 --> 0:11:02.400 newor Democratic Party and how awful it was. And I 0:11:02.440 --> 0:11:04.120 think Mum niney is a breath of fresh air. I 0:11:04.200 --> 0:11:06.480 was standing in that hall at Brooklyn Paramount last night 0:11:06.520 --> 0:11:08.960 watching him speak, seeing the energy, the crowd, people crying, 0:11:09.280 --> 0:11:12.480 thinking to myself, this is the guy they chose to reject. 0:11:12.640 --> 0:11:14.400 This is the guy Chuck Schuber couldn't even say he 0:11:14.480 --> 0:11:16.880 voted for. This is the guy that, as you call him, 0:11:16.880 --> 0:11:19.720 Apac Shakur couldn't turn up and actually until like the 0:11:19.760 --> 0:11:21.400 friday before the race, endorsed him. 0:11:21.480 --> 0:11:23.240 What is wrong with these people? Do they not want 0:11:23.280 --> 0:11:23.559 to win? 0:11:23.880 --> 0:11:26.199 He won young men eighteen to twenty nine according to 0:11:26.200 --> 0:11:28.880 the NBC exit poll last night, by forty points. To 0:11:28.880 --> 0:11:32.160 put that in context, Cheryl and Spamberger won young men 0:11:32.200 --> 0:11:33.840 by ten and fourteen points. 0:11:34.080 --> 0:11:35.640 I'm done. He won by forty points. 0:11:35.800 --> 0:11:38.040 I'm old enough to remember a year ago when Democrats like, 0:11:38.080 --> 0:11:39.679 how do we get young men back? Do we need 0:11:39.679 --> 0:11:41.760 to go on podcasts? How do we get young men back? 0:11:41.840 --> 0:11:42.720 This guy's doing it. 0:11:42.920 --> 0:11:44.920 He's given you a playbook and they're like, no, no, 0:11:44.960 --> 0:11:45.920 we don't want the playbook. 0:11:46.000 --> 0:11:48.800 We don't want this guy. The entire party establishment rejecting 0:11:48.840 --> 0:11:50.839 him to the very end. Hillary Clinton asked at the weekend, 0:11:50.880 --> 0:11:52.280 She's like, I don't know how an out of view 0:11:52.480 --> 0:11:54.520 like none of them would come behind this guy with 0:11:54.720 --> 0:11:57.160 energy and charisma. So it's a real problem for the 0:11:57.160 --> 0:11:59.160 Democratic But if they decided to carry on, you know 0:11:59.200 --> 0:12:01.640 the classic circus firing squad where they're all just shooting 0:12:01.679 --> 0:12:04.720 each other. On Monday, Spamberger, the woman who just won 0:12:04.760 --> 0:12:07.000 the governor's race in Virginia, she was attacking mum, Danny 0:12:07.040 --> 0:12:07.480 is dishonest. 0:12:07.520 --> 0:12:09.360 I'm like, what are you doing. You're both on the 0:12:09.400 --> 0:12:11.160 eve of major elections. Why are you attacked? Why are 0:12:11.160 --> 0:12:11.840 you attacking him? 0:12:12.000 --> 0:12:12.080 Like? 0:12:12.160 --> 0:12:14.080 Is there not enough Republicans to attack? But that is 0:12:14.080 --> 0:12:15.200 classic Democratic part. 0:12:15.040 --> 0:12:16.480 I think I saw correct me if I'm wrong. 0:12:16.520 --> 0:12:19.200 I saw Paul last night that he won just young 0:12:19.240 --> 0:12:22.560 people eighteen to twenty nine, by like seventy five percent overall. 0:12:22.600 --> 0:12:25.040 I didn't see the phial nomination on the male one 0:12:25.080 --> 0:12:25.439 is fast. 0:12:25.440 --> 0:12:26.480 He won women of course. 0:12:26.320 --> 0:12:28.440 As well, but the male was fasct because all I 0:12:28.480 --> 0:12:31.360 was told by pundits was like, young men don't vote, 0:12:31.400 --> 0:12:33.720 they're all conservatives. Now, we were told that all young 0:12:33.760 --> 0:12:35.800 men are conservatives. We didn't see that last night. We 0:12:35.800 --> 0:12:39.679 were told Latinos all conservative. Now, last night Democrats won 0:12:39.679 --> 0:12:43.120 back Latinos across the country. Guess what, Having a rogue 0:12:43.160 --> 0:12:45.920 fascist secret police and mask picking up brown people off 0:12:45.920 --> 0:12:47.559 the street doesn't help your pole ratings. 0:12:47.679 --> 0:12:48.560 What do you say to the people. 0:12:48.600 --> 0:12:50.679 Let's say, you know, because a lot of older people 0:12:50.679 --> 0:12:52.840 feel like he doesn't have the experience and that's what 0:12:52.960 --> 0:12:54.680 scares them. So what do you say to olds individuals? 0:12:54.720 --> 0:12:56.440 And what is your thoughts? I will repeat my position 0:12:56.480 --> 0:12:59.520 the guy from home alone to his president with his 0:12:59.559 --> 0:13:00.760 finger on the nuclear button. 0:13:00.800 --> 0:13:03.320 If Donald Trump can be president of the United States, 0:13:03.320 --> 0:13:05.800 anyone can be anything in this country. He is like 0:13:05.840 --> 0:13:09.000 the reverse American dream. And I think, look, you know, 0:13:09.160 --> 0:13:11.000 he's been in the state Assembly for a few years. 0:13:11.280 --> 0:13:13.040 He made a very good point in the campaign. He's like, look, 0:13:13.120 --> 0:13:15.760 my experience is not Andrew Cromo's experience. But why would 0:13:15.760 --> 0:13:18.560 you want Andrew Cromo's experience. I don't think people care 0:13:18.600 --> 0:13:21.160 about that stuff anymore. Look at Grand Platinum Maine guys, 0:13:21.160 --> 0:13:24.880 an oyster fisherman, marine veteran had a Nazi tattoo on 0:13:24.920 --> 0:13:26.760 his chest and he's fulling out hales. 0:13:26.880 --> 0:13:27.640 People don't care. 0:13:27.760 --> 0:13:31.120 They want authenticity, they crave energy, they crave real people. 0:13:31.280 --> 0:13:33.840 They are fed up with the automatons and the robots 0:13:34.080 --> 0:13:36.560 and the corporate consultant created candidates. 0:13:36.559 --> 0:13:37.200 They're done with it. 0:13:37.280 --> 0:13:39.160 I want to go back to Hakeem Jeffreys and Chuck 0:13:39.200 --> 0:13:40.040 Schumer for a second. 0:13:40.080 --> 0:13:42.800 Is Iran did give me hope that there are still 0:13:42.840 --> 0:13:44.040 free and fair elections? Right? 0:13:44.040 --> 0:13:54.240 Because I'm being honest with you, I was like. 0:13:50.120 --> 0:13:51.480 Yeah, I was worried about same things. 0:13:51.480 --> 0:13:53.040 I'm like, right, but he gave me hope it did 0:13:53.080 --> 0:13:55.280 still free and fair elections. And he also gave me 0:13:55.360 --> 0:13:58.640 hope that Hakeem Jeffreys and Chuck Schumer could be successfully primary. 0:13:59.559 --> 0:13:59.760 Yeah. 0:13:59.840 --> 0:14:02.880 I mean Hakeem, I think is more difficult from what 0:14:02.920 --> 0:14:04.480 I hear. I'm not the great expert on every New 0:14:04.559 --> 0:14:06.160 York district. 0:14:06.080 --> 0:14:09.280 But Schumer for sure. I mean, Schumer is so embarrassing. 0:14:09.480 --> 0:14:11.480 You see, like you look at people like my good 0:14:11.480 --> 0:14:13.280 friends of Crooked Media, the pod Save guys and all 0:14:13.320 --> 0:14:14.199 those guys. 0:14:14.200 --> 0:14:17.079 Everyone across every ring, almost. 0:14:16.760 --> 0:14:18.360 Every wing of the Democratic body is like what is 0:14:18.360 --> 0:14:20.280 wrong with Chuck? Shop Like it doesn't matter with you, 0:14:20.280 --> 0:14:22.320 like Mum Danny or not. Like mindly, you can't do that. 0:14:22.560 --> 0:14:26.120
