Chapter 2: What are the Republican leaders' concerns about Trump's foreign policy?

73.252 - 93.907

Republican lawmakers, senators and congress members alike have been inundating the White House and specifically Donald Trump's chief of staff with calls yelling at her and yelling at this regime. Republican lawmakers are yelling at them for focusing on running Venezuela.

93.907 - 123.893

and the polling from YouGov and any other legitimate polling agency is showing that overwhelmingly 60, 70, 80% of American people, based on how these questions are asked, do not want the United States running Venezuela. Should the United States prioritize Venezuela over America? It's like only 7% of people support that. And I guess in that 7% is Donald Trump and his cabinet,

123.893 - 140.667

We're running Venezuela. It's our country now. Delcy Rodriguez does what I tell her to do. This is my territory. We're the predator, Donald Trump says. And Republican lawmakers are like, hello, this is an election year.

140.667 - 162.74

This is 2026 and right now you keep talking about invading Greenland and you keep talking about running Venezuela and how Colombia and Cuba and Mexico are next. The American people hate this and the Republicans are getting massive backlash. Here's the latest from Reuters that has a great scoop on this.

162.74 - 192.322

After the president announced on Saturday that US would run Venezuela, Republican lawmakers inundated the White House with calls insisting the only country Trump should be running right now is the United States. Stop with the Venezuela stuff. The article goes on to talk about how Suzy Wiles has been basically trying to convince Donald Trump that keep on talking about Venezuela is not a winning issue. The article goes on to say top White House aides

192.322 - 221.954

are openly frustrated that Trump and senior officials continue to talk about foreign affairs and taking over different countries and that they're not talking about affordability. It goes on to talk about in multiple White House meetings focused on the economy since November, Donald Trump always pivots to talk about his personal grievances and then he just puts out a bunch of lies about the economy and people are just fed up about this.

221.954 - 249.089

It goes on to say, Republicans on Capitol Hill have privately questioned why is Trump not more focused on domestic priorities at all? He needs to stay focused on things that voters care about, not renaming buildings and other things that are not in the kitchen table category. They then talked about that Donald Trump did this retreat at the Kennedy Center, which Trump vandalized and called the Trump-Kennedy Center, and Republicans have referred to it as

249.089 - 273.136

and 84 minute speech wandering through his grievances and cultural war issues. And it goes on to talk about how the MAGA coalition is being ripped apart and how people just do not want to see this crap. Now, contrast this, contrast this. And this is one of the fears that the White House has.

273.136 - 302.026

Contrast this to what is taking place in New York. In New York you have Zoran Mamdani, the New York City Mayor, joining forces with Cathy Hochul, the New York Governor, to extend childcare services to hundreds of thousands of more children. To extend the idea and to try to make the reality of universal childcare a possibility in New York.

Chapter 3: How is Mayor Zohran Mamdani addressing childcare issues in New York?

643.306 - 668.112

This is eight days into the administration. There were lots of people who were saying this couldn't be done after the first year or two years. I think you're also sending a message for all the people who were saying progress is going to be slow. This stuff wasn't feasible that he said. This was just campaign stuff. What do you say to them?

668.112 - 683.907

I think we are showing them that politics can be different than what it has been. We are showing them that when we dare to dream of a world that is better than this, that's the first step in not just fighting for it, but winning it. And today's victory is frankly a testament to the more than 100,000 people who

683.907 - 706.705

made millions of phone calls over the course of that campaign, who knocked on millions of doors, and spoke to so many New Yorkers about their dream of a city that they deserved. They willed this day into existence, because as you said, there were so many who told us that we could never get here, but in the words of Nelson Mandela, it always seems impossible until it's done. And today is that first step to ensuring that we deliver universal childcare for each and every New Yorker.

2026-luvun keskustelu on ihmisten mielessä. Sinun mielesi toimii New Yorkissa, mutta minusta on oppimista, joita voidaan oppia. Oletko uskonut, että demokraatit 2026-luvun keskusteluun pitäisi ottaa oppimista siitä, että olit suorittanut suurin suunnitelman, ja nyt viikon ensimmäisenä tulet suorittamaan suurin suunnitelman, ja sinun tarkoitus on jatkaa sitä?

729.183 - 757.145

I think there is something to say that a lot of New Yorkers have lost faith in democracy, not because of losing faith in the ideal of it, but rather losing faith in its ability to deliver on their material needs as working class individuals. And what we're seeing right now is that if you lay out a vision that matches the scale of the crisis at hand and then you deliver on that vision, you will see far more New Yorkers looking at politics as something that is relevant to their day-to-day lives as opposed to something that they should take as much distance as they can from.

757.145 - 776.618

I think that's the case across this country where so many are asking themselves, is there an answer to the struggles that they're living through? And what we're showing here in New York City is when it comes to child care, there is. And now the agenda continues, the work continues, because each and every day is going to be focused on how can we take on the cost of living crisis that has made this the most expensive city in the United States of America.

776.77 - 794.877

Onko jotain ensimmäisiä viisi päivää, joista ei olisi ajatellut, että olet sanonut, että se on jotain, tai onko jotain, jota ajattelet nyt viisi päivää myöhemmin, joka voi olla mielenkiintoista tai jota ihmiset eivät ajattele?

795.215 - 813.575

I think, especially speaking to you today, when we've accomplished such a significant part of what was one of the cornerstones of our campaign, there's a temptation to think that governance is only about the issues that are as large as our city, when in fact governance is also about showing that there's no issue too small. A few days ago I was sitting around

813.575 - 828.762

our conference table with our cabinet, and we were talking about the different things that we could be doing in our first hundred days, and I brought up an example of something that has afflicted a lot of New Yorkers, especially cyclists, when they're biking over the Williamsburg Bridge and they come into Manhattan, there tends to be this drop

Chapter 4: What collaborative efforts are being made to improve childcare services?

896.212 - 912.783

Se on kysymys, jota useimmat kysyvät. Onko minun haasteeni osa poliitikkojasi? Onko minun päivittäinpäiväni todellisuudet käsitellyt siitä, mitä te teette? Oikein usein poliitikko ei tuntu olevan käsitellyt. Se tuntuu olevan ympäristöä siitä, mitä ihmiset elävät.

912.783 - 931.328

What we found is that the best way to deliver for New Yorkers is to start by listening to them. After the housing crisis, New Yorkers will tell you it's the childcare crisis. It's a crisis where in a city it's cheaper to send your kid to college at the City University of New York than it is to find childcare for that same child. Today we are showing that

931.328 - 952.574

We are actually going to deliver the city that New Yorkers deserve. And we're going to do that by making it easier, making it more affordable to keep calling the city your home. And it's truly an honor to be a part of this movement. It's truly an honor to be leading this fight to ensure that our neighbors can keep calling themselves exactly that. New York City Mayor Zoran Mamdani, great to see you. Great to have you as the mayor of New York.
