00:00Hey there. Great to have you with us. You know, lately, world affairs have been pretty fascinating,
00:04especially American politics. Wow, we went big all of a sudden.
00:09There's someone I've been watching closely lately. New York City's mayor, Zohan Mamdani.
00:14Ah, he really became a big topic. He's a young democratic socialist politician who built support
00:19among working people and young voters and won the election. Exactly. I've done a perfect analysis of
00:25why he won and how he expanded his support. So hear me out. Oh, this is serious.
00:30Go on then. First reason he won. His name sounds like a special attack. That's not it. You can't
00:36become mayor just because your name sounds cool. What? Zohan Mamdani. If you shout it, doesn't it
00:42feel like blue light would gather in your hands? No light is gathering. The real reason is that he
00:47championed policies like rent control and free public transit, which spoke directly to the real
00:51struggles of New Yorkers facing high living costs. Ah, right. That kind of reason. But I think the
00:56biggest reason he expanded support was how he used social media. Oh, that's a good point. On TikTok
01:01and Instagram, he made friendly videos for young people, helping a grassroots movement spread far
01:06and wide. Exactly. I watched Mamdani's videos and decided to copy him. So yesterday I posted a TikTok
01:11of my own. Oh yeah? What kind of video? Rent is too expensive. So I tried negotiating a sleepover
01:16at my partner's place. Don't drag my apartment into your policy platform. Reject it immediately.
01:22Come on. Zero rent policy. In real life, that's just squatting. His support also grew through patient
01:28door-to-door outreach in low-income areas and immigrant communities. I see. There was real gritty
01:34effort behind it. Then starting today, I'll knock on doors the same way. Oh, you've changed? Where are
01:39you going? Your apartment. I told you not to come. I'm calling the police. But really, the biggest point
01:45is that young people dissatisfied with existing politics felt he would speak for them. That's what
01:50made them so energized. Exactly. That grassroots energy helped him overcome powerful established
01:55rivals. You actually understand it. Yep. So from today, I'll be the Zoran Mamdani of the comedy world
02:02and fight to lower the cost of theater life. Specifically? First, all Chinese takeout at the
02:07theater will be free. That's so small scale. Your policy is just you wanting food. The supporters,
02:13meaning young comedians, are incredibly fired up. They just want you to pay for dinner.
02:17That's enough. Thank you very much.
