The 60 Minutes lady asked him comparing Trump to Zoram Namdani.

0:02.9

I don't know if you got saw that or not.

0:04.6

Well, you know, a lot of people are saying it's like, and then Trump had to put in the plug to say, but I'm better looking. Did you cash that or no? Go ahead. Go ahead, Rob. I love it. I'm on Mondami, 34-year-old Democratic Socialist. He's the front of him. Not socialist, communist.

0:18.1

He's far worse than a socialist.

0:20.1

Some people have compared him to a left-wing version of you, charismatic, breaking the old rules. What do you think about that? Well, I think I'm a much better looking person. Right? No, no, Rob, you don't have the rest? No, that was where it cut off. Oh, no, no, we got to get the rest because it's a whole exchange.

1:44.3

Rob cuts it off when he says good looking. Rob wanted to make sure we emphasize that he is a better looking guy. No, but he continues to go in and explaining what's going on with the whole thing between the two. You need the one that's more than 16 seconds. Yeah, it's funny. everything that they have is 16 seconds because everybody just... No, you have to watch the rest of it. By the way, so the whole thing was 73 minutes. Okay, the whole interview was 73 minutes long. 60 minutes only put up 27 minutes. So it's false advertising all the way of all around. I don't know if it's false advertising, but they just... You only have that much anyways to put up. It's not like with cable TV is different than podcasts. With podcasts, you can put the whole thing. With cable TV, you only have, by the way, typically it's 26 minutes. So they lost a minute of ad time if you think about it. But yeah, he talked about Mamdani. Rob, it shouldn't be hard to find it when you go to it. Somewhere there, it's a... If you type of communist, it's fairly in the beginning parts of it when they're talking about it. And the reason why I wanted to show this is because tomorrow, they're deciding who's going to be it. Okay, and the numbers came in. Is this it, Rob? This is a whole interview?

1:44.5

Okay. Give me one minute.

1:45.2

No problem.

Making a highest early in-person turnout ever for a non-presidential election in New York Sunday.

2:06.3

The final day of early voting saw 150,000 early voters the most of any day since the polls open.

2:12.4

And more voters under 35 than in the first weekend combined, according to the data from city board of elections,

2:18.5

that brought the median age of early in-person voters down to 50. Turnout of my younger age group

2:23.8

lagged in early in one week with about 80,000 people under 35 from Sunday to Thursday. That number

2:30.4

jumped from Friday to Sunday with over 100,000 voters under the age of 35 casting ballots, including more than 45,000 on Sunday.

2:37.6

More than four times as many early ballots were cast in this year's closely watched mayoral race, in which Mamdani, the Democratic nominee, leads his two virals, Cuomo and Sliwa, rivals, as the last mayoral race in 2021. The election first mayor race, New York City, where early voting was an option, so approximately 170,000. So, Rob, did you find a part where they're speaking? Rob, did you find it or not yet? I found a portion of it. I'm not sure if it's the right portion because they bring up Mamdani twice in here. This one's about Bill de Blasio, the portion. No, it's the other one. So Tom, what do he
