| 0:00.0 | Of all the crazy things that happened this week, we're going to start with this one. |
| 0:13.9 | This is the cover of the New York Post, and it says, I love you, ma'am, Mamdani. |
| 0:19.6 | I'm going to start with this. It's actually the most normal thing that |
| 0:24.6 | happened this week. In a normal world, what happened at the White House would have been routine, |
| 0:29.3 | almost a boring meeting, and certainly was probably the most routine thing that happened |
| 0:33.7 | this week, until the F word came up. |
| 0:41.7 | Are you affirming that you think President Trump is a fascist? |
| 0:43.1 | I've spoken about... That's okay. You can just say that. |
| 0:45.6 | It's easier. |
| 0:47.1 | It's easier than explaining it. |
| 0:50.9 | That's okay. |
| 0:51.9 | You can just say yes. |

| 1:32.2 | I think you're going to have hopefully a really great mayor. I think he is going to surprise some |
| 1:36.6 | conservative people, actually. I expect to be helping him, not hurting him. A big help. |
| 1:41.2 | Would you feel comfortable living in New York City under a Mamdani admin? Yeah, I would. I really want him to do a great job, and we'll help them do a great job. I really think he has a chance to do a great job. We're going to help him, but I really think there's a chance to do a great job. I think you really have a chance to make it great. I appreciate it. It's depressing. You say who love you. |
