00:00:02.920 I'm really, really happy about that.
00:00:04.880 I love it.
00:00:05.420 My dad likes him. My dad pops with him.
00:00:07.220 My whole family pops with him.
00:00:08.680 I think it's a good thing for the city.
00:00:10.100 People are like celebrating in some way.
00:00:12.100 I'm quite interested to see how he's going to develop.
00:00:16.100 Hope he does some good things.
00:00:17.300 First Muslim mayor. It's great.
00:00:19.600 That's good. That's great.
00:00:20.980 That's something interesting.
00:00:22.140 I don't think it matters whether or not he's Muslim or not. 0.96
00:00:24.520 It matters whether he's on righteousness and justice.
00:00:28.400 He's the best candidate out of all of them, obviously.
00:00:30.400 He's the best out of all of them.
00:00:31.820 Thank God Cuomo is not in it.
00:00:34.280 I didn't like Cuomo at all.
00:00:35.580 What's the other guy's name? Our current mayor?
00:00:38.080 Eric Adams.
00:00:39.200 I love Eric Adams, by the way. Great guy, great guy.
00:00:41.780 What was your main issue that you agree on with Zoran Mamdani?
00:00:44.120 I think the way he presents himself, if I'm being honest with you,
00:00:47.000 the way he speaks, I think in just general,
00:00:49.220 the actual campaigning that they did, the whole advertising, was really well on.
00:00:53.100 A lot of this stuff just comes down to really practical, like you said, affordability stuff.
00:00:58.180 I do like some of the things related to the housing.
00:01:01.360 You walk up to people on 8th Avenue in Brooklyn, for instance,
00:01:05.320 and you're like, hey, what do you think about free buses?
00:01:06.820 They're like, yeah, that's a great idea.
00:01:07.780 He said he wanted to make the buses free.
00:01:09.640 He said that he wants to just make state supermarkets.
00:01:12.320 Some of the socialist stuff I do like.
00:01:14.520 Well, I like that he's not owned.
00:01:16.360 Like when I saw him in the debate stage, he was like, I'm not going to Israel.
00:01:19.540 I was like, okay, that's cool.
00:01:20.360 It's so ridiculous to have people all on the debate stage talking about random countries.
00:01:24.840 So, I think that's a good aspect he has.
00:01:26.600 Even though I don't agree with most of what he believes, I don't think, I like that he's not owned.
00:01:30.020 Politics gets so polarized right now because everyone acts as if you have to agree with the entire party line.
00:01:36.420 I don't.
00:01:36.860 I mean, I support Zoran.
00:01:38.020 I'm not a socialist.
00:01:39.020 So, what's one thing that you want to see from Zoran?
00:01:42.020 Like, I guess, him jumping in gray sweatpants.
00:01:46.660 So, what do you want to see from Mamdani?
00:01:48.860 Change.
00:01:50.300 Better jobs.
00:01:52.100 Make New York affordable.
00:01:55.100 Lower prices.
00:01:56.100 That would be good.
00:01:57.100 Especially with housing.
00:01:58.100 So, that's what everyone wants.
00:02:00.100 Free stuff.
00:02:01.100 I mean, just, it's out of control.
00:02:04.100 It's getting really expensive here.
00:02:06.100 So, yeah, we really want to see the red thing down.
00:02:10.100 Taxis is crazy right now.
00:02:11.100 Lower the taxes.
00:02:12.100 Just make it safer for us.
00:02:13.100 Yeah, just take care of the city.
00:02:15.100 Be cleaner, nicer, no delays in the stubways, and no crimes.
00:02:20.100 Every single politician promises the same thing, right?
00:02:22.100 Everyone's like, oh, New York's going to get better.
00:02:24.100 We're going to clean up the city.
00:02:26.100 We're going to make, taxes are going to get lowered.
00:02:28.100 You know, all these things.
00:02:29.100 And it's like, I want to see anything tangible this time, you know?
00:02:32.100 I want to see an actual political leader with an actual change.
00:02:35.100 The new mayor is watching this right now.
00:02:37.100 What's one thing you want for New York?
00:02:38.100 No.
00:02:39.100 No.
00:02:40.100 Just guns.
00:02:41.100 Give up our guns.
00:02:42.100 If you could tell him one thing, what would you tell him?
00:02:45.100 Be different, honestly.
00:02:47.100 That's what we need here.
00:02:48.100 That's what New York City has developed, is being different.
00:02:51.100 Doing the same repetitive thing is not going to help.
00:02:53.100 I just hope that he moves with it.
00:02:55.100 He sticks to the principles that got him there in the first place.
00:02:58.100 I hope that he includes everyone and helps everyone. 0.99
00:03:00.100 I hope you can turn shit around here in the city. 0.94
00:03:03.100 Mostly for people like us, you know, minorities and whatnot. 0.99
00:03:08.100 Include white people in your, you know, the list of people that you care about.
00:03:14.100 Just be fair and honestly.
00:03:15.100 I just want to say congratulations to you.
00:03:17.100 And I know you work hard on getting that position.
00:03:19.100 And I just hope you do the right thing.
