00:00Is the honeymoon over so soon? It was barely three days ago when President Trump met with
00:06New York Mayor-elect Zoram Mamdani in the Oval Office, and the two adversaries were
00:11anything but adversarial. This odd couple was yucking it up for the camera. The memes
00:17after the meeting were fire. Which brings us to Sunday's Meet the Press, where Mamdani seems to
00:24have had a change of heart. In that press conference with President Trump, a reporter
00:29asked you whether you believe that President Trump is in fact a fascist, a word that you've used
00:34in the past. You were about to answer, then President Trump sort of jumped in and he said,
00:39quote, that's okay, you can just say yes, it's easier than explaining it. So, Mr. Mayor-elect,
00:45just to be very clear, do you think that President Trump is a fascist?
00:49And after President Trump said that, I said yes.
00:52So you do?
00:52And that's something that I've said in the past, I say it today.
00:55He also went on to agree that he believes President Trump is a threat to democracy,
00:59but that doesn't mean he thinks his meeting with the president was a waste of time.
01:05Mamdani says they discussed what is perhaps the biggest issue for voters and something they
01:09kind of sort of agree on, affordability. I swear you will be so tired of that word by next November,
01:15but it is a big deal. The two spoke about the difficulties of building housing in the
01:20country's most populous city. And Mamdani said that while he stands by his plan to tax the rich
01:25to pay for those plans, he's open to other sources, ones that the president could potentially help make
01:31a reality.
