It is, I think, billionaire bedwetting is a great term for it.

I'm so glad that's our own push that Governor Hochul agreed to implement it.

I will say, Bill Ack,

is one area where Zoran and I have a small disagreement because Zoran has said he even wants, you know, Bill Ackman to feel, you know, welcome in New York City.

I'd be glad if he left.

Although the $50,000 tax for every time he tweets about it, I would take as a compliment.

He does, and this is for the reason that you said before.

There's times for progressives to fight hard against moderates for something.

I remember when AOC sat in Nancy Pelosi's office with the kids from Sunrise.

That was a big part of what helped put us on the path to winning the Inflation Reduction Act.

Now, she voted for Nancy Pelosi for Speaker,

and show the kind of guts that Ro Khanna is showing right now.

You have to be willing to hold leaders accountable, not worry if you're not gonna sit at the cool kids table, but we have to bring Democrats together, progressives and moderates, and hopefully we'll win a good bunch of seats, but we're not gonna have like a massive majority.

That's the nature of politics now, so yes.

I have my frustrations.

I say them out loud.

I'm going to, you know, and people should hold me accountable as well.

Obviously, you're running as an insurgent.

It's easy to say, here's what I'm going to do when I get in there and I'm not going to be afraid of leadership.

Compromise is important.
