00:00You have Brian Nichols, who's making more than $113 million every year.
00:07Starbucks negotiate.
00:09Starbucks negotiate.
00:11Starbucks had agreed, they had made a commitment, a public commitment,
00:14that they would be offering a fair contract to workers.
00:17And instead, what they've offered are 50-cent raises.
00:22This is not a fad.
00:23New York City, like many cities in the country,
00:25has experienced significantly changing populations.
00:29Contested mayors generally represent those kinds of changes.
00:32There are 1 million Muslims now living in New York City.
00:35350,000 of them are registered.
00:37And they're likely to do what every other group has done
00:39when one of their own is running for public office,
00:41sees the opportunity to get power.
00:43What Mandami's rise will do is increase competition
00:46between that group and other rising immigrant groups,
00:49including the Chinese, people from Africa, and others.
00:54Next is Zohran Mandami.
00:56My name is Assemblymember Zohran Mandami.
00:58And I am running to make this city affordable.
01:01I'll freeze the rent for millions of tenants,
01:03make buses fast and free, and deliver universal childcare.
01:06And before you ask, I'll pay for it by taxing the rich.
01:10Mandami's policies will never see the light of day.
01:13Why?
01:14Because they're too expensive.
01:15And also, what people find out,
01:17great idealists and ideologues find out
01:20when they get into public office,
01:21is they can't do anything, generally, that they've talked about.
01:23They will try.
01:25There are very few exceptions.
01:26Bill de Blasio, the previous mayor,
01:28well, what did he do?
01:30Pre-K.
01:31Pre-kindergarten for children.
01:32That worked.
01:33And has become a significant part of the city's culture
01:35within reason.
01:37But Mandami will never see any of this happen.
01:39He'll have to create a government
01:40that's very different from anything he's thought about.
01:43He'll have to create a government, period,
01:45because he has no experience.
01:57When you are governor of New York,
01:59you really have a lot of friends.
02:04But then you hit...
02:06Andrew Cuomo's comeback is not necessarily
02:10about seeking public office,
02:11but more about redemption.
02:13He's a guy who spent a lot of years in public life,
02:15did a lot of good work,
02:16went out with real trouble.
02:19And this is his moment to try to return.
02:21Is it a good campaign?
02:22It's been a mediocre campaign.
02:24Message has been cloudy.
02:26Fear of going to public
02:27and then being confronted for past sins
02:29is very significant.
02:31And he's relying on old relationships
02:33and, frankly, how voters vote.
02:35Generally, older voters vote more frequently
02:37and with more intensity.
02:38But in this primary,
02:40younger voters are lining up with Mondami.
02:43And they're coming out.
02:44They voted early, which is unusual.
02:52Good, good.
02:53First responders, you know,
02:55when many people fled,
02:56I led with them
02:57and it's just exciting being here.
02:59Should Mondami win the primary,
03:02Eric Adams is more likely
03:03to win the general election.
03:05Should Andrew Cuomo win significantly
03:06in the primary,
03:07Eric Adams is less likely
03:08to win that general election.
03:10Why?
03:11Eric Adams' time may have gone
03:12and there also still is a generational issue.
03:14Where will African-American voters go?
03:16If Mondami wins the primary,
03:18they will come home to Adams.
03:19But if they don't,
03:20they're very likely to split their votes
03:22and vote with Andrew Cuomo.
03:52New York,
03:55although it has a declining
03:56Jewish population in numbers,
03:57still has more Jews living in it
03:59than any other place
04:00outside the state of Israel.
04:01Simple fact of life.
04:02What does it mean?
04:04Mondami will create a Jewish vote,
04:05but it will not be
04:07a very singular and ideology Jewish vote.
04:10Younger people really don't care
04:12about the state of Israel.
04:13If you look at the data,
04:14younger Jews,
04:15they're more concerned
04:16about lifestyle issues.
04:17That is the tragedy
04:18of the Jewish community
04:19that the Jewish community
04:19has to deal with,
04:20not anybody else.
04:22Adams out now.
04:27Mr. Mayor,
04:28how much control do you have
04:30of your future?
04:40Adams out now.
04:42Adams out now.
04:44Adams out now.
04:46Trump factor is a significant role.
04:48New Yorkers are probably
04:49in the 85 range
04:50opposed to Trump overall.
04:51People don't like him.
04:52Kind of interesting
04:53considering he hails from New York.
04:55What does that mean?
04:56It means that people
04:57will tend to vote
04:58for anybody who is anti-Trump.
04:59The good news
05:00for all the candidates
05:01is they're all anti-Trump.
05:03The bad news for Eric Adams
05:04is that he'll be perceived
05:05to the fall
05:06by many voters
05:07as someone who was with Trump
05:08because he was pardoned
05:09by the Trump Justice Department.
05:10He's going to have
05:11to figure that out.
05:12Do you have a judicial warrant?
05:15Keep going, push.
05:15Do you have a judicial warrant?
05:18Do you have a judicial warrant?
05:19Can I see the judicial warrant?
05:21Can I see the warrant?
05:21Can I see the warrant?
05:23I will let go
05:24when you show me
05:25the judicial warrant.
05:26We're going to walk down the sidewalk to the podium on the corner.
05:42Everybody's going to need to give them some room.
05:45I certainly did not assault an officer I engaged in.
05:49Anyway, so.
05:51Brad Lander will gain some prominence from it.
05:53Frankly, he didn't play it from a PR perspective.
05:55As significant as he should have, but he did.
05:58That being said, the migrant issue cuts both ways.
06:01The city was tired of paying the cost of housing migrants, people that came to New York, and frankly were then nonproductive and became wards of the state.
06:10And the city was very, very significantly costly.
06:13It did not make people happy.
06:14There are portions of the community that think that the migrants should be gone.
06:17And they're not just white people living in more conservative areas, blacks and others.
06:21So it cuts both ways.
06:23But there is a sense, if you're an anti-Trumper, that this has gone too far, that these people are human beings, and they are, and should be treated fairly.
06:30What Lander did was to make this that kind of argument, which is they're not being treated fairly.
06:34Today, Andrew Cuomo should have the edge.
07:00But this primary is a problem for America.
07:03Why?
07:03It represents the changing nature of the Democrat Party.
07:06There aren't a lot of young people who feel they're empowered.
07:09Data from previous, from last year, indicates that younger voters would have been more happy had Bernie Sanders, the senator from Vermont, been the Democratic nominee for president, not Kamala Harris.
07:20There's a revolt inside that party in a change to an attempt to change definition.
07:25Zohan Mandami represents that new generation, along with Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
07:30And they want to have their moment.
07:32And this is their moment in New York City.
07:34To put a person in this seat at this time with no experience is reckless and dangerous.
07:43To Mr. Cuomo, I have never had to resign in disgrace.
07:48I have never cut Medicaid.
07:50I have never stolen hundreds of millions of dollars from the MTA.
07:54I have never hounded the 13 women who credibly accused me of sexual harassment.
07:58I have never sued for their gynecological records.
08:01And I have never done those things because I am not you, Mr. Cuomo.
08:04And furthermore, the name is Mamdani.
08:08M-A-M-D-A-N-I.
08:10You should learn how to say it because we got to get it right.
08:14Yeah.
