How does the Don Lemon show open and what local NYC race does he highlight first?
Good morning, Lemon Nation. Do I sound like what's-his-face in that movie? Good morning, whatever he said. Saigon. Is that what he said? Vietnam. Good morning, Vietnam. Yeah. Good morning, everybody. Good morning, America. Good morning, Lemon Nation. This is a Lemon Nation. This is an off topic, but I saw some folks in the TikTok. By the way, hit the thumbs up, hit the like, all that, because it does affect the algorithm, okay? We need you to do that, so make sure you do that. But I saw some folks in the TikTok comments talking about Zoran Mamdani, who is running for mayor here in New York City. And boy, that's shaping up to be very interesting because all the money All the odds, the bets, whatever the folks were saying, hey, it's going to be Andrew Cuomo.
And Donnie is he's got Zora Zoran. He's got the momentum and it's got a lot of people nervous here in New York City who had thought that they were going to get Andrew Cuomo as mayor. And a lot of folks were like, hey, you know, we don't want progressive mayor anymore. So. Are you guys paying attention to that? Anybody paying attention to that race? We did ask them to come on and they're like, oh, they want to be safe. They're afraid to come on. They're afraid of the lemon. Yeah. Hi, everybody. Glad you're here. I'm just looking for my, there it is. For my eyeglasses. So, yeah, the folks in the chat, let me know. He's got he's getting a lot of money. He's getting he's got the suburbs pretty much. If you look at the number of donations, it's kind of like Trump with the small donations.
You guys, anybody paying attention? And he is saying he wants mass transportation. In New York City to be free. And saying also rent. What does he want? Like a rent moratorium or something like that. I forget what he wants to do. Something interesting with rents.
Yeah, rent freeze.
Rent freeze. So I don't know. I mean, Peter, what do you think? It is ranked choice. And I think they said it may go to 10 rounds. If it goes to 10 rounds, Zoran Mandani could end up becoming... the mayor of New York. Someone said Cuomo will win. That's a question mark. My money was on Cuomo before. So, I don't know. There's a lot of people nervous, don't you think? A lot of folks who don't like, they think he's too much of a progressive. Am I wrong about that?
I just think he's an unknown quantity. And... To your point, the last poll I saw had Cuomo up by about eight points. But again, to your point, it's ranked choice. So no one really knows what could happen. And the debate last night was really quite explosive. It was quite something. I recommend folks watching it after the show.
Oh, wait, I forgot about that. If you have some, can you find some of the video for me? Is that possible?
Yeah, I can.
Yeah. Find some of the video for me, because I'd love to get that in to hear what's to so folks could hear. But look, this is a big deal here in New York City. Do you have a sort of centrist, maybe even right? Because I think Cuomo is maybe moving to the right a little bit. Do you have someone who's going to be really, really they think Cuomo is going to be really tough on crime? They're not so sure about Zoran. We've got a homeless issue. Rent control, free public transportation sounds good, says Andre Skates. Yeah, look, I just saw it. You know, you reminded me of that. And we'll try to get some of that to you. So good morning. Thank you for joining. A reminder, because you asked. You asked for it. You got it.
