13:50 SOME REPORTER, OFF-SCREEN: The cost of living is something that you and Mr. Mamdani seem to agree on. Democrats have run New York City for a long time, Mr. Mamdani, Do you see Democrat policies specifically as being a problem and [stammering, but basically “I’d like both of you to answer”]
14:10 MAMDANI: Look I think that there are many things in our city where we have to own the responsibility of the things that have existed long before the president was the president and those are also part of the message of our campaign was to take on a broken politics of our past and I ran against a number of candidates which represented different versions of that past, and what we found time and again is that working people were left behind in the politics of our city and what we’re looking to do is put those people right back at the heart of our politics so that we don’t have a situation where we’re in the wealthiest city in the history of the world and yet one in five can’t even afford $2.90 for a metro card.
14:45 OFF SCREEN: Mr. President?
14:45 TRUMP: You know we had some interesting conversations and some of his ideas really have - the same ideas I have.

And they’re coming down they’re coming down. They were - You know we had both of us, we had the highest inflation in the history of our country the last four years under… [dramatic pause] the Biden administration. and we’ve got inflation down now to our normal numbers, it’s going to go even lower than that.
That’s roughly it. I transcribed it myself. Might have misplaced an article or changed a “are” to a “were” here or there. You get what you pay for :)
I’m not impressed by this Mamdani guy at all, but this whole thing is so fucking hilarious that I’m willing to concede to our resident DSA radlibs that him getting elected might have been a good thing after all
Every clip I’ve seen so far has had me literally howling lmfao
If your country doesn’t have an entire toolbar for municipal grocery stores it is less sophisticated than Workers and Resources: Soviet Republic (which is a game).

Its very comedic to see the establishment confront mild principles like a municipal grocery store and lowering rent prices
