Zoran Mdani, a 33-year-old state assemblyman from Queens, won the city's Democratic primary for mayor. His
00:00:06
closest opponent, Andrew Cuomo, conceded Tuesday night pretty quickly. It was a blowout. Mdani campaigned on New York's
00:00:12
affordability crisis. We have won because New Yorkers have stood up for a city they can afford, a city where they
00:00:19
can do more than just struggle. This is a political earthquake. I think it's hard not to be somewhat inspired by
00:00:24
this. I love a younger generation of voters pushing back on money and the establishment. Bloomer gave $8 million
00:00:31
to Cuomo. The Democratic political machine was run over by a populist younger movement and the Democratic
00:00:39
establishment trying to shove Cuomo down the roads. What an a repulsive thing they did here. And so not listening to
00:00:46
voters who matter. I was quite bothered quite frankly by some anti-Israel positioning in his background that made
00:00:53
me uncomfortable. Having said that, I don't really care what a mayor thinks about Israel. I want them to pick up the
00:00:58
trash and operate the subway. Sure, you want to look at their view on international affairs and New York
00:01:03
punches above its weight class, but at the end of the day, it's an operational role. I love the idea of young people,
00:01:10
and by the way, this is a form of revolution. And this is young people saying, "Whatever you folks are doing,
00:01:14
the establishment isn't working, and we're picking someone new." The voters decided what they wanted. Every time
00:01:20
Trump wins, you say, "The voters decided what they wanted." Well, they did. The voters wanted this. These are the
00:01:26
voters. They vote the way they want to vote. So, respect their vote.
