  Speaker 1: How helpful is this going to be to Andrew Cuomo
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: to have Trump and mask behind him.
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: To Andrew Cuomo, I don't think very. I think he
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: has done plenty of work himself to dig the hole
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: deep enough that it's pretty obvious he's not going to win.
• 0:13
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: For Zorn's campaign, my group Leaders We Deserve was the
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: largest contributor to the independent expenditure in support of him,
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: spending three hundred thousand dollars in support. And what I think, Well,
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: there's a lot of debates going on right now in
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: our party about do we go left, do we go
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: to the right, do we go to the center. There
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: is a lot to be learned from this race, not
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: necessarily about policy, not no other city is like New
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: York City, but a lot about the power of listening.
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: One of the things that Zoran did in this race
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: is he went to voters and asked them what do
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: you want to see in your mayor and listen to
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: them and had a clear message around affordability and whether
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: it's the governor's race in Virginia, the governor's race in
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: New Jersey, or the mayoral race in New York, or
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: other races around the country, there's a clear through line,
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: even if some of them are more moderate and more
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: to the left of talking about affordability and not just saying, oh,
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: we need to lower prices, but saying what they're actually
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: going to do on it. And it's a clear sign
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: in mind you that there's real generational change coming in
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: our party. Because the whole thing we didn't talk about
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: when it was about Trump versus Biden is that the
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: reason why we even have to debate that is because
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: of how damn old they are.
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: Well, do you think that there's some truth to what
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: he's saying?
• 1:13
  Speaker 4: Penny?
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: The idea that you know, Republicans have been saying, oh,
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: he's a socialist, he's a socialist, as if that was
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: going to be enough to stop mom Donnie. But really
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: what voters are responding to is what mom Donnie is saying.
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: Are Republicans misunderstanding what's happening here?
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: Well, I don't know. I mean, I think he is
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: a shiny object. I think he's a good politician, and
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: he is up against a you know, a former governor
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: who left on a horrible note because of his behavior,
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: and he has that horrific record of people dying during
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: COVID and what he did in nursing homes. I was
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: just recently with someone who his parents died because of that,
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: and so I don't know why that was the best
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: candidate you know that that actually could come forward. And
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: by the way, republic there's only sixteen percent of voters
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: are Republicans in New York City, so let's not get
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: confused here. But I I the question. The question is though,
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: I mean, it's only twenty five percent of people maybe
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: will decide it will be voting. That's a low turnout
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: vote because there's no big racism than the mayor. But
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: the question is is the party going to become more
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: like Mandami? Is it? Is that going to be the
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: future of the Democratic Party?
• 2:23
  Speaker 5: What is it?
• 2:24
  Speaker 4: Well, first let me say at this point, I mean,
• 2:26
  Speaker 4: you know, with Trump's endorsement, Elon's endorsement, I mean Cuoma
• 2:29
  Speaker 4: might as well get the penguin the Joker to endorse him.
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: I mean not he's going to lose the race.
• 2:33
  Speaker 5: It's over my wind out that the penguin was once
• 2:35
  Speaker 5: in a movie elected mayor of New York. That is true.
• 2:37
  Speaker 5: Point that out, That is true.
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: Copper pot Right Oswell, Copper Pott.
• 2:42
  Speaker 5: Right, they're gonna come in here.
• 2:43
  Speaker 4: Okay, all right, rush up on my, on my or
• 2:49
  Speaker 4: come in mom. Donne's gonna in the race. He's he's
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: he's going to be mayor. He ran a brilliant campaign.
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: He's a brilliant messenger. And yeah, he copied a little
• 2:57
  Speaker 4: bit of what Trump did, simplify the messaging. Repeat Rins
• 3:01
  Speaker 4: and repeat, Rinson repeat, and he ran brilliant ads and
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: he's going to win. Now, whether that's exportable to other places, listen,
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: I don't think so. I think there's place like Chicago
• 3:10
  Speaker 4: and Portland, Seattle he can create it. It's hard to
• 3:12
  Speaker 4: find a good candidate, right, good messenger, Like how many
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: aocs are out there? Right when you're talking about someone
• 3:18
  Speaker 4: who can message? But look when you're talking about the suburbs, No, mom,
• 3:21
  Speaker 4: Donnie is not going to win in both the retel
• 3:23
  Speaker 4: quick thirty seconds.
• 3:24
  Speaker 5: Yeah, look, he's probably gonna win. I mean, it's a
• 3:27
  Speaker 5: Democrat town and they're going to elect the socialist to
• 3:29
  Speaker 5: run the financial capital of the world. I mean, you
• 3:32
  Speaker 5: know you gave him three hundred grand. That's interesting. That's
• 3:34
  Speaker 5: probably the only three hundred and nine Islamo Marxist grand
• 3:37
  Speaker 5: that he got. I saw Linda's softsar today bragging about
• 3:40
  Speaker 5: all the.
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: Public financial system in New York.
• 3:45
  Speaker 5: You know.
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: Look, And a part of the reason he's so powerful,
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: it's because people are tired of being lectured by men
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: with rolexes on CNN about affordability in this country. That's
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: the real reason he is resonating right now, because he
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: has a clear message that actually says, this is what
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: I plan to do and the party. I don't think
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: this is about going to the left or the right,
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: to be honest with you, do. I agree with Zarman
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: much more than a lot of other Democrats in our
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: party certainly, But I think we need to meet voters
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: where they're at in their districts. In some districts that's
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: going to be, that's going to.
• 4:12
  Speaker 5: Be you want a socialist future for your party.
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: I want a future where people, everybody has healthcare and
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: people can afford a good life.
