And I was a little nervous, a little nervous.

But for me, my top issue is one, two, three, four, five.

It's public safety, public order, in part because of some personal experiences that I had.

Yesterday I was reading a story.

The left is very mad at Zoran Mamdani because policing has gone up.

The number of summonses going out have been up.

People are complaining about the increased number of police on the subways.

And to me, I assume to a lot of Bulwark listeners, that is very welcome news.

Because I really think when Democrats let our cities turn into –

dystopian shitholes of disorder that it is very bad for the brand.

Like some of it's crime, but some of it is like, we live in the greatest city in the world.

We should not be letting people die on our streets of mental illness and drug overdoses.

And so I think he's done a good job of that.

The smartest decision he made was keeping Jessica Tish as NYPD commissioner.

I'm glad he's empowered her.

I like the stuff he's done on housing and saying I was wrong before for being a NIMBY.

I'm leaning into YIMBYism.

I like the stuff he's done on early childhood education and

I also like just his style.

I think that your style of leadership is policy itself.
