Seeing the dashing and weeping of 14 00:00:56,960 --> 00:00:59,120 Speaker 2: the Quotmo camp has been very funny. New York has 15 00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:01,720 Speaker 2: officially been upgreen from a Tier two to a Tier 16 00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:04,800 Speaker 2: one point five Chinese city.

It was. It was a pretty 24 00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:35,800 Speaker 1: exciting night in New York last night. I and many 25 00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:39,880 Speaker 1: people were not expecting a clear result so soon. I 26 00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:43,920 Speaker 1: think Cuomo conceded around ten to thirty as the vote 27 00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:46,679 Speaker 1: was still coming in, but it was pretty clear that 28 00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:51,960 Speaker 1: Zoron did a like very very impressive, very impressive sweep, 29 00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:56,080 Speaker 1: really solid turnout across the boroughs. Just to like get 30 00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:58,000 Speaker 1: a sense of like where we were at, Like I 31 00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:01,640 Speaker 1: got to announce to of a pretty a pretty large 32 00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:05,080 Speaker 1: room full of trans people at the Metropolitan Bar that 33 00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:08,840 Speaker 1: Cuomo conceded to Zoron, and Zoron has won. And I 34 00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:13,480 Speaker 1: had not felt better in months. It was really invigorating. 35 00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:16,640 Speaker 1: This was like the first like ray of hope in 36 00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:19,520 Speaker 1: a political sense that I've that that it's been like 37 00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:23,160 Speaker 1: so deeply felt nothing ever happens, camp is is is 38 00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:28,520 Speaker 1: finally finally taking it. So jover for nothing ever happens. 39 00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:32,840 Speaker 1: The shear, the sheer like joy and excitement being in 40 00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:36,480 Speaker 1: like a room of like one hundred, one hundred queer people, 41 00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:41,560 Speaker 1: as as as Cuomo gets defeated and Zoron securing the primary. 42 00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:45,960 Speaker 1: It was it was just invigorating. In many ways, this 43 00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:49,760 Speaker 1: feels a lot bigger than even like AOC's win a 44 00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:52,560 Speaker 1: few years ago. And it feels so much more real 45 00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:56,000 Speaker 1: than like the Sanders campaign really ever did, because New 46 00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:58,200 Speaker 1: York is such as like a it's such a condensed, 47 00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:02,040 Speaker 1: concentrated area. Now it has not quite like an inevitability, 48 00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:06,160 Speaker 1: but of a pretty strong certainty of what's going to 49 00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:08,519 Speaker 1: happen come November in the general election. 50 00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:12,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, And I think the thing that's maybe in some 51 00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:14,160 Speaker 2: ways the biggest deal about this is that New York 52 00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:18,320 Speaker 2: was like the capital of the giant sort of right 53 00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:22,560 Speaker 2: wing backlash inside the Democratic Party to twenty twenty Yeah, right, 54 00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:24,560 Speaker 2: Like this is the city that elected Eric Adams in 55 00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:25,240 Speaker 2: twenty twenty one. 56 00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:27,880 Speaker 1: Right, Like it just straight up a cop is ruled 57 00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:30,520 Speaker 1: for like four years by just like. 58 00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:36,240 Speaker 2: This unhinged corrupt alliance of like fucking real estate developers 59 00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:41,200 Speaker 2: and like unhinged right wing billionaires and the cops who 60 00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:44,720 Speaker 2: ran this really really effective sort of politics of like 61 00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:48,080 Speaker 2: the demonization of unhoused people and like anti immigrant politics 62 00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:51,440 Speaker 2: and the shift right in this in the Neu Democratic 63 00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:54,520 Speaker 2: Party like single handedly shifted the entire country to the right. 64 00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:56,920 Speaker 2: You could literally see where the New York media market 65 00:03:57,080 --> 00:03:59,600 Speaker 2: was in the twenty twenty two elections. You could see 66 00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:02,080 Speaker 2: on them map who was getting the news because it 67 00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:05,760 Speaker 2: was so right wing.

And it was 76 00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:30,120 Speaker 2: last night we saw their high points. Yeah, they couldn't 77 00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:32,760 Speaker 2: elect the fucking sexual predator. That was as far as 78 00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:33,320 Speaker 2: they could go. 79 00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:37,680 Speaker 1: A Cuomo too, Like, like I know some people are 80 00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:40,280 Speaker 1: slightly annoyed about like the outsized influence of the New 81 00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:45,440 Speaker 1: York mayoral election affecting everybody who's like online and cares 82 00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:49,120 Speaker 1: about politics in the United States and even and even abroad. 83 00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:53,280 Speaker 1: But this is like not not only as New York, 84 00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:55,359 Speaker 1: like the biggest city in the country. This is like 85 00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:59,880 Speaker 1: more so a representative battle for the future of the party, 86 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:03,599 Speaker 1: and like what the future of democratic politics, not just 87 00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:06,760 Speaker 1: the Democratic Party but literally like like democracies and like 88 00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:08,479 Speaker 1: what the future of politics in this country is going 89 00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:12,960 Speaker 1: to be is kind of emblematic over how this race went. 90 00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:15,719 Speaker 1: Are we going to go back to the same old 91 00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:21,760 Speaker 1: establishment dem Party stuff, Clinton's Cuomos, Obama, Biden Harris or 92 00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:24,240 Speaker 1: are we actually going to legitimately chart a new course 93 00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:29,560 Speaker 1: forward to counter this fascist element taking power across the 94 00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:34,960 Speaker 1: country and against nearly all odds, and like thirty million dollars, 95 00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:39,120 Speaker 1: the underdogs actually would and pulled it off really strongly, 96 00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:41,640 Speaker 1: and this really is like the battle for the future 97 00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:44,240 Speaker 1: of the party. Early turnout was massive for this primary. 98 00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:47,160 Speaker 1: In the final three days of early voting, we saw 99 00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:50,520 Speaker 1: like the youngest demographic of voters come out in high 100 00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:54,080 Speaker 1: high numbers. One quarter of early voters were first time 101 00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:57,440 Speaker 1: Democratic primary participants, and young voters between the ages of 102 00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:00,320 Speaker 1: twenty five and thirty four made up the largest share 103 00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:03,640 Speaker 1: of early turnout. And this was all up against the 104 00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:08,080 Speaker 1: entire forces of the Democratic Party establishment coming together in 105 00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:11,960 Speaker 1: the past few months, just specifically to stop Mamdanni from 106 00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:16,159 Speaker 1: taking the primary election. There was twenty five million dollars 107 00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:19,240 Speaker 1: of super pac funding behind Entrew Cuomo, which is the 108 00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:23,159 Speaker 1: largest in New York City mayoral history. This pack was 109 00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:27,240 Speaker 1: backed by Michael Bloomberg, Door Dash, Bill Ackman Trump funder, 110 00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:30,159 Speaker 1: and this pack allowed Cuomo backers to spend three times 111 00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:34,520 Speaker 1: as much money than what Quomo's actual campaign legally can. 112 00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:38,719 Speaker 1: In comparison, Mamdannie's pack had just one point two million 113 00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:42,320 Speaker 1: dollars plus five hundred thousand in anti Cuomo spending from 114 00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:47,599 Speaker 1: the Working Families Party. In an attempt to seal the deal, 115 00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:53,920 Speaker 1: the Cuomo team got the coveted Bill Clinton endorsement, really 116 00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:58,000 Speaker 1: really forming like the toucher's alliance with Cuomo. 117 00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:01,360 Speaker 2: And Clinton, Bill Clinton, Bill Clinton, there's world more sex 118 00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:02,520 Speaker 2: pest for you to endorse. 119 00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:08,039 Speaker 1: It's time for you to endorse Donald Trump. What moral 120 00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:12,000 Speaker 1: job like that? That really was like emblematic of like 121 00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:15,600 Speaker 1: the type of Democratic party that Mamdanie was up against, 122 00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:18,520 Speaker 1: right and the one that working people of New York 123 00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:21,880 Speaker 1: and people around the country we're hoping might finally get 124 00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:25,200 Speaker 1: defeated after it's won one over on Sanders for the 125 00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:30,280 Speaker 1: past like eight years, and last night it finally happened. 126 00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:33,080 Speaker 2: Yeah. And I also want to say, like, this is 127 00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:35,920 Speaker 2: not just when we're talking about the sort of political 128 00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:39,360 Speaker 2: apparatus of the Democratic Party being deployed in support of Cuomo. 129 00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:42,760 Speaker 2: It wasn't just like the DoorDash guys like bringing out 130 00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:47,040 Speaker 2: their checkbook. It was like the actual internal political machines 131 00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:49,640 Speaker 2: of a whole bunch of very very important and influential 132 00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:53,480 Speaker 2: local and sort of mid level political officials, through their 133 00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:58,120 Speaker 2: entire political machines behind Cuomo and then got fucking rolled 134 00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:03,640 Speaker 2: in ways that are just absolutely hysterical. Entire political machines 135 00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:07,920 Speaker 2: basically just got annihilated trying to stop this. It was 136 00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:10,240 Speaker 2: It reminds me in a lot of ways of like 137 00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:12,360 Speaker 2: the way that like a bunch of the old machines 138 00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:16,400 Speaker 2: broke in in Chicago with with Brandon Johnson were like 139 00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:18,920 Speaker 2: you wed like Mike Madigan making one last appearance the 140 00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:22,040 Speaker 2: most powerful figure in Illinois politics for thirty years and 141 00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:26,840 Speaker 2: just gets crushed in that election. So this was both 142 00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:30,240 Speaker 2: a money efforts and a were using your political machines 143 00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:31,440 Speaker 2: on the ground to try to do this, and they 144 00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:33,200 Speaker 2: fucking lost. 145 00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:37,760 Speaker 1: And it rules there were photo shopping images of Zoron 146 00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:40,640 Speaker 1: to make him look more brown and Muslim. Yeah, they 147 00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:43,280 Speaker 1: were making his beard longer, they were making his skin 148 00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:46,280 Speaker 1: and his hairy darker. Like, they were pulling out all 149 00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:48,560 Speaker 1: the stops and it didn't work. 150 00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:51,080 Speaker 2: It was a Clinton two thousand and eight, like Barack 151 00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:54,480 Speaker 2: Hussein Obama, like burther conspiracy shit.

It failed. We'll 155 00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:05,360 Speaker 1: talk about some of the actual results and Zorn's campaign 156 00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:19,520 Speaker 1: itself after this break. All Right, we are back. It's 157 00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:22,280 Speaker 1: a beautiful sunny day in New York. It's actually way 158 00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:26,760 Speaker 1: too hot.

So let's let's let's talk about the 164 00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:47,000 Speaker 1: actual results so far. So as of as of this morning, 165 00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:48,840 Speaker 1: Wednesday morning, we got ninety three percent of the vote 166 00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:51,880 Speaker 1: in on the first rank. Mundanni has forty three point 167 00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:57,120 Speaker 1: five percent versus Cuomo's thirty six point four and zorn 168 00:09:57,240 --> 00:10:01,320 Speaker 1: Ally brad Lander with eleven point three, followed by a 169 00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:05,000 Speaker 1: whole bunch of others. Now, really, as soon as like 170 00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:07,319 Speaker 1: numbers started coming in, like after the early vote, which 171 00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:10,080 Speaker 1: which we expected Woul would lean in favor of Zoran, 172 00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:14,040 Speaker 1: but after more and more results started coming in, Manhattan 173 00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:16,480 Speaker 1: started to looking more and more orange. And that's the 174 00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:19,719 Speaker 1: that's color at the times as using for Zoron. And 175 00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:23,800 Speaker 1: this was the first like sign for me that Zora 176 00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:26,080 Speaker 1: might be having a pretty good night, because people were 177 00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:29,440 Speaker 1: expecting that you know, pretty big chunks of Manhattan and 178 00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:31,840 Speaker 1: certainly like Staten Island in the Bronx would be would 179 00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:35,000 Speaker 1: be going towards Cuomo decisively or at least if this 180 00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:36,760 Speaker 1: if this was going to be Cumba's night, that's what 181 00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:40,440 Speaker 1: we would be seeing. And that's not what happened. The 182 00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:43,400 Speaker 1: northern tip of Staten Island leaning towards Mom Donnie, and 183 00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:48,160 Speaker 1: really most of Manhattan except for the upper west side 184 00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:52,079 Speaker 1: and the upper east side went to Zoron. And that 185 00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:56,160 Speaker 1: is like super super I guess, like surprising, but like 186 00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:58,760 Speaker 1: positive surprise, like surprisingly, this is this is like this 187 00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:02,160 Speaker 1: is great. Yeah, like a really really strong night. Yeah. 188 00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:04,120 Speaker 2: One of the most interesting trends of this was that 189 00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:08,880 Speaker 2: Mondommy just just absolutely annihilated like every Asian district up 190 00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:12,800 Speaker 2: up fifteen, up fifteen and not Okay, so you would 191 00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:16,120 Speaker 2: kind of expect this in South Asian districts. He went 192 00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:21,120 Speaker 2: into a bunch of what are generally pretty conservative, like 193 00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:24,600 Speaker 2: like Chinese districts and like Queens and shit, and just 194 00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:28,880 Speaker 2: fucking rolled them. Yeah, like in like South Brooklyn, like 195 00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:30,920 Speaker 2: a very very powerful sort of like right wing Chinese 196 00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:33,439 Speaker 2: political machine like went to war against them, just annihilated. 197 00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:34,120 Speaker 1: Right. 198 00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:37,240 Speaker 2: The Asian vote in general had kind of been trending 199 00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:39,560 Speaker 2: right in the last half a decade based on sort 200 00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:42,960 Speaker 2: of like anti immigrant shit, anti homeless shit and all 201 00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:45,199 Speaker 2: of that, just like instantly pivoted. 202 00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:48,560 Speaker 1: Everything's out. The astoria in Queens just just full full 203 00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:51,439 Speaker 1: zor on. Yeah, and like just rolled these districts. 204 00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:54,200 Speaker 2: And I think this is a thing where I think 205 00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:55,720 Speaker 2: we're gonna talk more about the ice stuff later, but 206 00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:57,560 Speaker 2: I genuinely think part of what we're starting to see 207 00:11:57,600 --> 00:11:58,079 Speaker 2: here is like. 208 00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:02,480 Speaker 1: Brad Lander, who and the MVP brad Lander honestly like 209 00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:04,400 Speaker 1: like a critical part of this who knows to him 210 00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:06,920 Speaker 1: like absolutely, Like we certainly have different opinions on some 211 00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:10,280 Speaker 1: key issues, but he really pulled out the stops to 212 00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:12,800 Speaker 1: make sure that Cuomo does not get in and helped 213 00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:16,760 Speaker 1: Mamdanni defend against some pretty pretty horrific yeah is homophobic attacks. 214 00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:19,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, and like, and that alliance I think was actually 215 00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:22,240 Speaker 2: was really really important because it meant that the kind 216 00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:25,920 Speaker 2: of like left flank of the liberals and the progressives 217 00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:27,880 Speaker 2: and sort of social democrats weren't fighting each other, which 218 00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:30,360 Speaker 2: has been what's happening in like fucking every other city. Yeah, 219 00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:32,040 Speaker 2: is that these two factions go to war and then 220 00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:35,800 Speaker 2: like just the fucking sex predators win the election because 221 00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:38,480 Speaker 2: of it, and shere you get a very very important 222 00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:41,319 Speaker 2: strategic alliance that allows a bunch of people to vote 223 00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:46,520 Speaker 2: for Mamdanni who wouldn't have And this, this sort of 224 00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:52,119 Speaker 2: alliance that they've forged here was just like stunningly successful, 225 00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:56,440 Speaker 2: basically like outperformed expectations basically everywhere. I think this is 226 00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:58,880 Speaker 2: also a kind of decisive anti ICE thing because both 227 00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:02,360 Speaker 2: Mamdanni and have been actually straight up on the front 228 00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:06,680 Speaker 2: lines of like anti I stuff. Lander famously got arrested 229 00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:10,000 Speaker 2: for trying to get in the way of a just 230 00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:14,200 Speaker 2: hideously illegal disappearance of one of his constituents and got 231 00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:17,560 Speaker 2: fucking arrested for it. And I think that stuff we're 232 00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:21,080 Speaker 2: seeing the political impacts of everyone being like, holy shit, 233 00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:23,480 Speaker 2: they're trying to deport like every no migration in this country. 234 00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:27,480 Speaker 1: Yeah. Madanni up six points with the Hispanic up five 235 00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:33,800 Speaker 1: with white plus fifteen Asian. Quomo is up eighteen percent 236 00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:36,960 Speaker 1: with the black vote, and Quomo like underperformed there too, 237 00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:38,000 Speaker 1: he did underperform. 238 00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:38,440 Speaker 2: Yeah. 239 00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:43,520 Speaker 1: One thing that's interesting is the medium income levels. Mamdani 240 00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:48,400 Speaker 1: did better with middle class and high income vote middle 241 00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:52,240 Speaker 1: class up ten, high income up thirteen, whereas Cuomo did 242 00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:56,559 Speaker 1: better up thirteen with lower income, which I mean, this 243 00:13:56,600 --> 00:13:58,679 Speaker 1: is like some classic We see this a lot in 244 00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:03,160 Speaker 1: like national elections, where like people vote against their own interests. 245 00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:06,760 Speaker 1: This is weird. This is like what the Republican Party 246 00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:10,360 Speaker 1: gets so much of their support from. So this is 247 00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:12,160 Speaker 1: also like education bracket difference. 248 00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:13,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, and I think some of it also is like 249 00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:15,679 Speaker 2: a lot of the voters who would have voted vandor 250 00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:19,680 Speaker 2: and would not have supported Mamdani, like were given permission 251 00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:22,320 Speaker 2: to back him, and that boosted his vote share. 252 00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:24,720 Speaker 1: A lot, Yes, but like in terms of like why 253 00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:28,320 Speaker 1: lower income is swinging towards Cuomo. Yeah, specifically people making 254 00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:32,320 Speaker 1: under fifty k year swinging more towards Cuomo, even though 255 00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:36,120 Speaker 1: Zoran is running a campaign specifically for those people. That 256 00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:37,720 Speaker 1: is also largely up in the Bronx. 257 00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:40,480 Speaker 2: I will also say, like, the other thing that's very 258 00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:42,640 Speaker 2: weird about the way these are tabulated is because it's 259 00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:46,680 Speaker 2: it's tabulated by area, not by the actual people, yes, correct, 260 00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:49,680 Speaker 2: which means you can get these things where like you 261 00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:52,280 Speaker 2: see this Trump sometimes where like it looks like he's 262 00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:53,760 Speaker 2: doing really well in like. 263 00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:56,360 Speaker 1: A district with like a really with like really low. 264 00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:58,840 Speaker 2: Median income, But what's happening is like every single rich 265 00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:02,080 Speaker 2: person in that district voted and then no one else did. Yeah, 266 00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:05,240 Speaker 2: So the numbers are a bit weird when when when 267 00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:07,640 Speaker 2: you're looking at these sort of like priestin counts. Yeah, votes, 268 00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:09,920 Speaker 2: but yeah, it's it's been a I don't know, it's 269 00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:11,640 Speaker 2: a it is a constant trend in the bar Oho. 270 00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:13,680 Speaker 2: I guess this is everything that was actually very very 271 00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:16,800 Speaker 2: different from Chicago, where in Chicago it was like basically 272 00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:19,720 Speaker 2: pure income line for Brandon Johnson, the sort of like 273 00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:22,320 Speaker 2: vaguely left person. 274 00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:26,600 Speaker 1: There is like New York is a very like middle 275 00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:28,760 Speaker 1: class city in a lot of ways, Like there's a 276 00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:32,160 Speaker 1: lot of people in the middle class bracket, a lot 277 00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:34,240 Speaker 1: of people in the lower class bracket as well, but 278 00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:36,680 Speaker 1: in terms of like like medium income levels, there's like 279 00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:40,520 Speaker 1: a huge, huge number of like middle class voters. Specifically, 280 00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:43,320 Speaker 1: like the vote map for the for the middle income 281 00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:48,600 Speaker 1: is so much bigger. I think it is worth highlighting 282 00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:53,320 Speaker 1: what made Zorn's campaign special, right, Like people are probably 283 00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:56,560 Speaker 1: pretty familiar with like the slick videos, which, yeah, he 284 00:15:56,680 --> 00:15:59,560 Speaker 1: was really good at making videos. He is a great communicator, 285 00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:03,400 Speaker 1: probably his biggest, biggest strength is his ability to be 286 00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:07,760 Speaker 1: like personable and is of just a pretty good public speakers, 287 00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:11,720 Speaker 1: great at communication. His mom's a relatively well known filmmaker, 288 00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:14,400 Speaker 1: and not super surprising that he put he put a 289 00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:17,880 Speaker 1: lot of work into making sure his like online tv 290 00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:20,920 Speaker 1: as were like top notch. One of the more unique 291 00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:23,600 Speaker 1: things that he did is a huge focus on multi 292 00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:27,320 Speaker 1: language outreach, which like, obviously New York is a city 293 00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:31,200 Speaker 1: of like dozens and dozens and dozens of languages, and 294 00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:35,360 Speaker 1: the Quoto campaign did not focus on that, but This 295 00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:38,920 Speaker 1: was a huge, huge focus of Zoron's campaign. Like when 296 00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:40,760 Speaker 1: you signed up for phone banking, you got to go 297 00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:44,640 Speaker 1: through a massive drop down menu of languages to phone banking, 298 00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:48,760 Speaker 1: and Zoron himself was like speaking multiple languages. On the 299 00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:53,040 Speaker 1: campaign trail, he had a huge, huge volunteer ground game. 300 00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:56,880 Speaker 1: It was canvassing door Knox phone banking. My apartment had 301 00:16:56,920 --> 00:17:00,160 Speaker 1: people stop in multiple times in the past week alone. 302 00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:03,360 Speaker 1: The biggest focus of his campaign itself was a focus 303 00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:06,840 Speaker 1: on affordability. I want to Play a ad that started 304 00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:10,040 Speaker 1: running on TV and online about two weeks ago. This 305 00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:11,960 Speaker 1: is one of his less personal ads, right like as 306 00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:13,800 Speaker 1: opposed to his ads where he's like walking around New 307 00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:17,000 Speaker 1: York talking to people, like addressing straight to camera, that 308 00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:18,560 Speaker 1: kind of stuff, which is kind of in the staple 309 00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:21,280 Speaker 1: of his campaign. So like this ad is not that 310 00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:24,040 Speaker 1: it is more like a classic political ad, but I 311 00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:27,600 Speaker 1: think it still hits really hard. And like this this 312 00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:30,840 Speaker 1: one like kind of brain wormed itself into my head 313 00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:34,560 Speaker 1: because of how like concise it is, and it hits 314 00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:37,159 Speaker 1: so many things that even because of like the last 315 00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:40,240 Speaker 1: like general election, right like the twenty twenty four presidential 316 00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:42,600 Speaker 1: it reflects the things that a lot of voters are 317 00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:45,320 Speaker 1: concerned about which is affordability, even if that means they 318 00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:47,679 Speaker 1: will vote against their interests and vote in support of 319 00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:50,960 Speaker 1: these like crazy tariffs. But I'm going to play this 320 00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:54,639 Speaker 1: thirty second ad here. There is a myth about this city. 321 00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:58,200 Speaker 3: It's the lie that life has to be hard in 322 00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:01,280 Speaker 3: New York. I believe we can dare tchep for groceries, 323 00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:04,040 Speaker 3: we can raise the minimum wage, we can freeze the 324 00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:07,320 Speaker 3: rent for more than two million tenants and build hundreds 325 00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:11,040 Speaker 3: of thousands of affordable homes. It city government's job to 326 00:18:11,119 --> 00:18:15,520 Speaker 3: deliver that. We are done settling for less. Are you 327 00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:16,040 Speaker 3: ready for. 328 00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:20,840 Speaker 1: A city we can afford? A witness? Right? Do you 329 00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:24,600 Speaker 1: posy rendering licens? So that was the main app that's 330 00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:28,199 Speaker 1: been going across TV the past two weeks. This is 331 00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:32,160 Speaker 1: this is his like final final push, and it addresses 332 00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:34,280 Speaker 1: this like a conception of New York that's definitely been 333 00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:35,600 Speaker 1: in my mind ever since I was a kid. I 334 00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:37,159 Speaker 1: always thought, this is a city you can only live 335 00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:39,760 Speaker 1: in if you're you know, very rich, if you're well off, 336 00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:42,800 Speaker 1: and like, upon visiting here for the first time, I 337 00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:44,720 Speaker 1: just realized how much that isn't true, how much this 338 00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:46,879 Speaker 1: is like actually a working class city. How many people 339 00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:51,320 Speaker 1: keep this massive like concrete machine running who do not 340 00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:54,760 Speaker 1: live in like a Manhattan penthouse. Obviously, and yes it 341 00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:58,560 Speaker 1: can be challenging, but we've like almost abandoned this place 342 00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:01,560 Speaker 1: as like a zone of combat, as like a place 343 00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:05,520 Speaker 1: to actually like build like an affordable, an affordable, stable life. 344 00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:08,720 Speaker 1: And to see a candidate just directly address this is 345 00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:13,600 Speaker 1: so invigorating. He ran on freezing the rent free buses, 346 00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:16,520 Speaker 1: a pilot program for city run grocery stores, free to 347 00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:20,119 Speaker 1: low cost childcare, raising minimum wage, and he didn't cave 348 00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:24,119 Speaker 1: or waiver on controversial issues or apologize or redact for 349 00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:27,600 Speaker 1: past statements. He got really good at deflecting when people 350 00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:30,800 Speaker 1: asked him about like previous statements about how you know, 351 00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:34,720 Speaker 1: the NYPD is terrible. He did really good about moving 352 00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:38,119 Speaker 1: towards talking about how NYPD should not be handling people 353 00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:40,360 Speaker 1: in like mental health crises, how there should be other 354 00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:43,359 Speaker 1: public safety workers who can help people in distress who 355 00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:46,880 Speaker 1: are not the NYPD, and just a very very slick 356 00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:52,280 Speaker 1: job handling some like massive massive amounts of anti woke attacks, 357 00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:55,960 Speaker 1: referencing like the twenty twenty era of politics. Let's go 358 00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:59,240 Speaker 1: on a break and then talk about his acceptance speech 359 00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:15,800 Speaker 1: and the reaction from the National Democrat and Republican parties. Okay, 360 00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:23,359 Speaker 1: we are so back. So the past few months, Democrats 361 00:20:23,400 --> 00:20:26,239 Speaker 1: have been asking this question like, how do we how 362 00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:28,520 Speaker 1: do we reach young voters, how do we reach the 363 00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:32,000 Speaker 1: young white to male vote. We need like a Joe 364 00:20:32,119 --> 00:20:34,000 Speaker 1: Rogan of the left, all these types of crazy things. 365 00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:37,920 Speaker 1: And you had this guy Zorrod who started to get 366 00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:42,400 Speaker 1: massively popular with young people, including young young men, and 367 00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:46,160 Speaker 1: that you saw this entire party mobilized to stop him, 368 00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:50,200 Speaker 1: to suppress any any movement that Zorna was able to make. 369 00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:54,520 Speaker 1: And David Hogg, who is currently also being rat fucked 370 00:20:54,560 --> 00:20:59,080 Speaker 1: by the Democratic National Committee, has been campaigning with zor 371 00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:01,639 Speaker 1: On the past few weeks and he he said a 372 00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:04,119 Speaker 1: few days ago, quote, the same establishment that is spending 373 00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:06,440 Speaker 1: millions to destroy Zoron will say in a few months 374 00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:08,800 Speaker 1: that we need to spend millions on polling and testing 375 00:21:08,840 --> 00:21:13,080 Speaker 1: to win back young people. Open your goddamn eyes. It's free. 376 00:21:14,119 --> 00:21:17,119 Speaker 1: And yeah, he's right, this is the solution. The solution 377 00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:18,879 Speaker 1: is staring them in the face, and they were wanting 378 00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:19,679 Speaker 1: to stop it. 379 00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:22,320 Speaker 2: Ye, young people are begging you to co opt them, 380 00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:24,600 Speaker 2: and they won't do it because they know what they 381 00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:27,360 Speaker 2: would rather have Nazis and one percent higher taxes. 382 00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:30,920 Speaker 1: They want to be co opted and like actually fight 383 00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:34,959 Speaker 1: for something, like actually have something to strive for, and 384 00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:38,119 Speaker 1: like that's something that the Democrats have been so resistant 385 00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:41,320 Speaker 1: to the past eight years. Like even even Joe Biden's 386 00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:43,679 Speaker 1: campaign wasn't like fighting for anything, it was to like 387 00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:47,040 Speaker 1: return to normal. Kruml Heris's campaign wasn't really fighting for 388 00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:48,800 Speaker 1: anything either. It was just to stop Donald Trump. And 389 00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:52,080 Speaker 1: this is like this campaign wasn't just about beating Cuomo. 390 00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:55,760 Speaker 1: It was also about like envisioning an actually positive future 391 00:21:55,800 --> 00:21:59,679 Speaker 1: of the city. And I was legitimately surprised that Cuomo 392 00:21:59,800 --> 00:22:02,760 Speaker 1: can seated so early on in his speech he said, quote, 393 00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:05,440 Speaker 1: tonight was not our night, Tonight is his night. He 394 00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:09,840 Speaker 1: deserved it. He won. And from the moves that Quem 395 00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:12,480 Speaker 1: was making, it seems like he's probably not gonna run 396 00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:15,240 Speaker 1: as an independent in the general like he maybe have 397 00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:18,200 Speaker 1: been planning to if it was closer. It does not 398 00:22:18,280 --> 00:22:20,680 Speaker 1: seem to be going that direction. It seems like he's 399 00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:23,960 Speaker 1: kind of realized that his career is finished. Yeah, he 400 00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:30,520 Speaker 1: got rolled go back to the suburbs. Motherfucker Ugh Chuck 401 00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:35,199 Speaker 1: Schumer called soron Wednesday morning and posted quote, I've known 402 00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:37,360 Speaker 1: Zora Mamdannni since we were together to provide a debt 403 00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:40,080 Speaker 1: relief for thousands of leaguered taxi drivers and fought to 404 00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:43,920 Speaker 1: stop a fract gas plant in a Storia. He ran 405 00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:47,159 Speaker 1: an impressive campaign that connected with New Yorkers about affordability, fairness, 406 00:22:47,119 --> 00:22:49,640 Speaker 1: an opportunity. I spoke with him this morning and I'm 407 00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:54,160 Speaker 1: looking forward to getting together soon. Alkim Jeffries said, congratulations 408 00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:56,920 Speaker 1: is Zar Mumdani on a decisive primary victory. As having 409 00:22:56,960 --> 00:23:00,639 Speaker 1: been Mumdannie ran a strong campaign that relentles focused on 410 00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:03,040 Speaker 1: the economy and bringing down the high cost of living 411 00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:05,000 Speaker 1: in New York City. We spoke this morning and planned 412 00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:08,720 Speaker 1: to meet in central Brooklyn shortly. The top dogs are 413 00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:09,960 Speaker 1: bowing down. 414 00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:12,879 Speaker 2: All these Chuck sub retreats are just straight up please 415 00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:15,400 Speaker 2: don't primary me, because AOC is going to beat him 416 00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:16,320 Speaker 2: by thirty. 417 00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:20,719 Speaker 1: He's gonna get primary like he's done to obliterated. But 418 00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:23,960 Speaker 1: I was expecting slightly more resistance, and it seems like 419 00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:26,919 Speaker 1: parts of the Democrats have like realized that this actually 420 00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:28,439 Speaker 1: is the future of the party now and there's no 421 00:23:28,520 --> 00:23:30,800 Speaker 1: use fighting anymore. This is the way to go. Yes, 422 00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:32,520 Speaker 1: it goes against what all like the consultants are saying 423 00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:35,200 Speaker 1: right to be like, you know, the Democrats went too woke, 424 00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:36,679 Speaker 1: we went too far to the left. We have to 425 00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:38,399 Speaker 1: return to the center. Even though that's what we've been 426 00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:41,879 Speaker 1: doing for the Democratic Party for eight years. This election 427 00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:44,480 Speaker 1: shows how much of that is like a complete bullshit 428 00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:47,800 Speaker 1: lie that no, it's not about going too far left, 429 00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:50,480 Speaker 1: it's about actually wanting to fight for something real. And 430 00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:54,439 Speaker 1: I'm kind of surprised that these these two top dogs 431 00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:58,919 Speaker 1: are giving in to the zmentum. I think also, and 432 00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:00,919 Speaker 1: this is the thing, like my friends brought up, is 433 00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:02,280 Speaker 1: that like mom. 434 00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:07,800 Speaker 2: Downy like isn't really like AOC no, no, no. 435 00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:10,040 Speaker 1: This is something like very very important for like New 436 00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:11,520 Speaker 1: York politics, which is like he's. 437 00:24:11,359 --> 00:24:15,040 Speaker 2: Not like like obviously politically he is, but like he's 438 00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:18,000 Speaker 2: not a complete outsider to New York politics. All these 439 00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:21,920 Speaker 2: people know him, they know him from like legislative shit right, 440 00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:25,160 Speaker 2: and he has like relationships with them in a way 441 00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:27,199 Speaker 2: that would be very very different if if he was 442 00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:29,280 Speaker 2: like I don't know, just like some like a complete 443 00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:31,000 Speaker 2: outsider who'd been like a protest leader or whatever. 444 00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:33,040 Speaker 1: He has. He has proven himself. 445 00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:36,399 Speaker 2: He has like tense relations but like yeah, but like 446 00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:39,480 Speaker 2: he like these people know him, and that's something that 447 00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:41,840 Speaker 2: can matter a lot in terms of like how these 448 00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:45,040 Speaker 2: reactions play out and in terms of like how desperate 449 00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:46,280 Speaker 2: they are to stop him. 450 00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:48,800 Speaker 1: The Attorney General of New York was making like Obama 451 00:24:48,840 --> 00:24:51,240 Speaker 1: two thousand and eight references, being like this, this was 452 00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:54,399 Speaker 1: the energy in New York last night, and I wasn't 453 00:24:54,680 --> 00:24:58,399 Speaker 1: around for the two thousand and eight residential election. I 454 00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:00,720 Speaker 1: mean I was alive. I just don't remember because I 455 00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:05,439 Speaker 1: was also in Canada. But it did feel pretty exuberant 456 00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:09,680 Speaker 1: last night walking around Brooklyn. And like this absolutely still 457 00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:12,520 Speaker 1: is like a rejection of the Democratic Party establishment. That's 458 00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:15,560 Speaker 1: what these results show. And we have to like claim 459 00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:20,200 Speaker 1: a firm victory now, like hard line with with with 460 00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:23,040 Speaker 1: such a strong fist that like any potential fuckery in 461 00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:25,480 Speaker 1: the future, whether it's from like other Dems or from 462 00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:28,880 Speaker 1: the Republicans like from Trump right, like they're obviously willing 463 00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:31,920 Speaker 1: to arrest the New York City Controller, so like any 464 00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:35,080 Speaker 1: potential fuckery needs to look so much worse. People have 465 00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:37,600 Speaker 1: to close ranks around zoror On like immediately and like 466 00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:40,560 Speaker 1: strengthen him.
