| 0:00.0 | What's up guys? Happy Monday. I am coming to you from my hotel room in New York City. I'm here for the week. |
| 0:05.7 | Very excited to see you guys on Wednesday for my live show. I think it'll be super fun. But I just wanted to hop on here and make a quick video because there is a huge election happening tomorrow in New York City. It is the mayoral race. |
| 0:16.0 | There's also a huge election happening in New Jersey tomorrow. The race for the governor. Hopefully, New Jersey |
| 0:21.6 | flips red, but I wanted to offer my thoughts, hopefully as you guys are walking to the voting |
| 0:27.3 | booths, about the election specifically in New York City with Mamdani and Cuomo and Curtis, |
| 0:33.1 | even though it really does seem like it is between Mumdani and Cuomo. I have no idea how it's gonna go. |
| 0:38.0 | I mean, Polymarket is predicting that Mumdani is going to win, I think it's like a 95% chance on there the last time I checked. The polling shows that it's a little closer, like Mamdani is at 46%, Cuomo is at 34%. I don't know, don't quote me, those are just like the vague numbers that I'm remembering. So again, I don't really know how it's going to end up, but I will say |
| 0:54.9 | that what this race has shown me is just once again, politics right now, |
| 1:01.2 | it is unfortunately less about policy and more about relatability and authenticity and charisma. |
| 1:07.0 | Now, I think that a lot of people voted for Donald Trump because they believe in his policies, |
| 1:10.5 | they wanted a change, but a lot of people felt comfortable, you know, dipping their toes |
| 1:14.4 | over to the Republican side, coming over to vote for him, the reason why they love him is because |
| 1:18.7 | of his personality. |
| 1:19.7 | Because even though Donald Trump is somebody who is a larger-than-life individual, even |
| 1:23.2 | though he has more money than most of us could ever dream of having or even fathom having that amount |
| 1:28.3 | of money, he speaks to normal American people. He seems like a normal American. The same goes |
| 1:33.3 | for JD Vance. Like he is the embodiment of the American dream. Those are both men that all of us |
| 1:38.1 | were able to see ourselves in. Like Donald Trump can be in his gold-plated New York penthouse, but he also looks totally |
| 1:46.1 | comfortable with a trash truck. |
| 1:47.1 | He looks totally comfortable working the fry line at McDonald's. |
| 1:50.7 | And I see the same thing in people like Mum Donnie. |
| 1:53.7 | And I know you might be like going like, oh, they're not the same. |
