Meiselas: Fox and Daily Wire are already out with their talking points. Mamdani wants to decide who deserves to keep their property. What do you say when Jesse Watters and Hannity are out there pushing this? What’s your message to that audience? Mamdani: My message to that audience is... the same as I would say to anyone: I want them to be able to afford to live in the city as well. And yes, if there is a bad landlord who is violating housing codes, the city will hold them accountable. We have held bad landlords accountable to the tune of $65 million in these past six months. And that’s not something we’re embarrassed about, because we’re proud to actually stand up for our laws that ensure New Yorkers don’t just have a place they call their home, but one that’s also habitable enough to be considered a home. When it comes to this program, we’re talking about actually delivering, block by block, a kind of housing vision that ensures the long-term stewardship of homes across the city. And if there is a bad landlord whose entire business model is harassment, violation, and displacement, then yes, we will take every single course of action we can — and that includes, at times, changing the ownership of that home to a nonprofit, to a community land trust, and sometimes even, yes, to the tenants themselves.show more

Mamdani: My dream is not that we hold every bad landlord accountable. My dream is that we don’t have to. My dream is that every landlord is responsive to their tenants and that every landlord is following housing code. And I know that there are many landlords who are like that. The issue, however, is that there are a number of bad landlords who have been able to operate with impunity, with no consequences for their actions. And part of what this housing plan puts forward is specifically funding to ensure that we can hold these kinds of landlords accountable, and especially the top 10 worst landlords in New York City, so that we can actually start to explore all of the tools we need to transfer ownership of those properties to people who will actually steward them safely, whether they’re a nonprofit, a community land trust, or the tenants themselves. That is how we are looking at this because, frankly, this is the law, and for too long housing code has been treated like a suggestion, not a requirement.

Hayes: Is the WH meeting real? Mamdani: We did reach out to the white house, and my team reached out because of a commitment that I made to New Yorkers that I would be willing to meet with anyone and everyone, so long as it was to the benefit of the 8.5 million people who call the city home and their struggle to afford the most expensive city in the United States of America.

Mamdani: Oftentimes when we win elections, we tell people to go home and just trust us. But the message really has to be that we want you to come along with us — we want you to be part of this politics beyond just the ballot box. That’s something we’ve been looking to share with New Yorkers: your participation in democracy extends beyond Election Day. We want to not only win with New Yorkers, but also govern with New Yorkers. And that will mean infusing city government with a different kind of outlook and changing what we even think of as public engagement — really making sure that I’m not seen as a movement in and of myself, but as a messenger of a movement that continues to grow across the five boroughs of the city.

Collins: Bezos said that you could double his taxes and it's not going to help that teacher in Queens. Mamdani: I know a few teachers in Queens who would beg to differ. And I think that if I was worth as much money as he was, then I would probably say the same thing. The fact of the matter is that we are talking about a city where 1 in 4 New Yorkers are living in poverty, and we're hearing from one of the richest men that our world has ever seen about how he and others who make that kind of money shouldn't have to pay their fair share. And frankly, what New Yorkers want to see is a tax system that recognizes the scale of this affordability crisis and actually provides a way for city government to be able to invest in those same New Yorkers in the manner that we used to decades ago.

AOC: I understand the anxieties, especially when it comes to being able to afford a place to live and to feel like our ability to have one home is being eclipsed by other people’s fourth, fifth, and sixth homes. There are some folks who will tell you that’s just the way it is, and that’s just a free market, and that’s just because that’s the value of that property. But I want us to consider a different understanding of this. I really think that someone values their first home—their only home—a lot more than they value their 10th. And the value of us not being one paycheck away from the street is way bigger than the marginal tax value of someone’s write-off house that I’m sure some people even forget they have. We have to make sure that everyone can just have a shot. That’s what this is about.

Mamdani: Affordability is not magic. It is not something that can be summoned by words. It must be summoned by deeds. We must stand up to corporate greed, build affordable housing, and make child care something every family can afford. And as we speak, there are those hoping to divide the working people of this city, to convince us that the problems we face are not a result of their greed, but instead of our neighbors. They will do whatever it takes to maintain a broken status quo that benefits the privileged few at the expense of the many. And they think there is no one who will try to stop them.

Hayes: What is your goal for a meeting with Donald Trump? Mamdani: I want to just speak plainly to the president about what it means to actually stand up for New Yorkers, and the way in which New Yorkers are struggling to afford the city. And frankly, cost of living is something that I heard time and time again from New Yorkers about why they voted for Donald Trump. And this is something that is only continued in the last few months of this year, where we're hearing about child care concerns, rent concerns, con Ed concerns, even just getting on the bus just $2.90. And just to make it clear to the president that this is what we're talking about, these are the stakes for New Yorkers and their ability to keep calling the city their home.

Q: “What would you say to Elon Musk about waste, fraud, and abuse?” Zohran Mamdani: “I would say that this isn’t actually a right wing concern. It’s a concern right at the heart of leftwing politics because as people who care deeply about public goods, we care just as deeply about public excellence. And we know that if we want New Yorkers to believe in the power of government to deliver for them, we have to show that every single dollar in our budget is going towards exactly that. We’re proud to be looking for inefficiencies or examples of fraud or waste across city government, eliminating them, and then delivering on what people actually voted for”

Zohran Mamdani just said **with a straight face** that New York City’s sanctuary laws are designed to keep New Yorkers safe. The Ugandan-born mayor is proudly supporting the flooding of America’s largest city with illegal aliens. MAMDANI: “We are proud of the fact that we are a sanctuary city.” “We’re proud of that for a number of reasons.” “One, it is a policy designed to keep New Yorkers safe.” “Two, we know that here in our city, we are proud of the more than 3 million New Yorkers who are immigrants, I’m one of them.” “And we know that in a city like this, it is incumbent upon us to live up to the ideals of the Statue of Liberty, not just tell people to come and look at it when they visit from across the world.”

Hayes: Endorsing against incumbents really is kind of the unwritten rule in this. Tish James, who was a very vocal backer of yours when you were running for mayor—and even a backer of yours when I think it was pretty politically controversial to be so—had this to say. She said she and other political leaders she’s spoken to are disappointed in Zohran Mamdani. “All of us are a little frustrated with the Democratic Party, but you don’t blow it up. That’s what MAGA has done.” What do you say to that? Mamdani: I think, what is the Democratic Party if not its voters? And what we saw yesterday evening were Democrats across the city turning out and voting for a new kind of politics. And I’ve been clear time and time again that I believe the only majority in our country is that of the working class. And what we saw is that a focus on the working class. And I have a deep amount of respect for my friend, Attorney General James. And I also believe that these are the kinds of candidates that we need to see in Congress, as well as the five state legislative candidates that I endorsed that also won yesterday evening. I made a promise to New Yorkers that I would use every tool at my disposal to actually transform this city into one that they could afford. And one of those tools is using your political capital to ensure that the people who will fight hardest for that same agenda are going to be there, whether it’s in Albany or whether it’s in D.C.

NEW YORK CITY MAYOR ZOHRAN MAMDANI addresses deadly ICE-Involved shooting in Minneapolis: “I believe that these raids are cruel and inhumane and they do nothing to actually serve the interests of public safety. And what New Yorkers want to see is a city that they are safe in, a city they can also feel comfortable leaving their home in.” “And so we will continue to make clear that this is a city that stands up for immigrants and also this is the city that will follow its laws of sanctuary city policies, precisely because these are laws that keep New Yorker safe.”

Reporter: What do you think of Sid Rosenberg using the term cockroach? Mamdani: So Muslims in this city, for almost as long as we have been in this city, have had to deal with those with power and platform dehumanizing us — to be called animals, insects, to be called a jihadist mayor…. This language is both painfully familiar to me as a Muslim New Yorker, but also as someone who was born in East Africa, and it is difficult to hear. There’s also a reminder that the silence that often greets this kind of bigotry, this kind of Islamophobia, is what allows it to fester — the temptation to treat it as politics as usual. And I want to be very clear that I have far more urgent work in front of me than indulging the provocations of a man who trades in outrage and, frankly, fears the city that we are looking to build — one where every single New Yorker who lives here can call it their home. I am not ashamed of who I am. I am not ashamed of my faith. I am not ashamed of being the first Muslim mayor in the history of our city. And there’s no amount of racism that will change the way in which I lead or the commitment that I hold to each and every New Yorker in this city.

It is something that we must root out of every single borough of our city, and we have to ensure that Jewish New Yorkers are safe in this city…. “It cannot simply be responses to acts of antisemitism, to making it clear that they are unacceptable — that is obvious. We also have to do the work to ensure that we're preventing antisemitism.”

Zohran Mamdani on his new Block by Block housing policy: “This is a plan that will do three things: It will build 200K new affordable homes over the next ten years, preserve 200K affordable homes at the same time. It will invest $5.6B into NYCHA public housing in New York City, more of an investment than this city has seen in decades. And finally, it’ll invest in the tenants of today. It’ll actually make it easier for tenants to not only report code violations, but to hold their landlords accountable to ensure that they’re actually living in a place that’s habitable in New York City”

Mamdani: And I think what we've seen under this current administration here in New York City is an unwillingness to stand up for the laws we already have here. We have sanctuary city policies, which used to be defended by Democrats and Republicans alike. These are policies that do not allow ice admission into schools, into hospitals, into any city property or properties of city contractors unless they can show a judicial warrant signed by a judge. And what we know is, time and time again, the videos we're watching, they're not videos of warrants being shown. They are videos of brutal intimidation. And it is time to have a mayor of the city who recognizes this risk is a present day one, and will stand up for each and every one of the 3 million immigrants who call the city home. I'm one of them, and an understanding that an attack on any New Yorker is an attack on the entirety of the city.

This is how I see left wing Scousers - What irritates me more than anything about them is they have the arrogance to tell people on a daily basis “Scousers are left wing” and call everyone a Tory or a wool who disagrees with them. Like they can speak for all of us. Like only they love this city and we don’t. Let me tell you something about these gang of gobshites. If you ever want to at what multiculturalism does to a city. Look at London. I have always wanted multiculturalism to work. But it’s hard to ignore the damage it does. It is ok im small manageable numbers like we have always had. But when it grows out of control you get….. London. These gang of shithouses who love Liverpool more than anyone and who are more Scouse than anyone and speak for all of us are literally advocating for Liverpool to be slowly transformed into a microcosm of the hellhole that is our capital. They are actively pushing for it. Most of them don’t even have children themselves. And that’s the world they want your children to grow up in. A replica of London in every major city. That’s how much they care about Liverpool. They want it to become the next London. If everything was all sweet and rosey down there I could understand their logic. But it isn’t. And over my dead body I will stand silent while these traitors enable our government to destroy the culture snd good harmony of our city. Absolutely disgusting. They do not speak for us. Even though they think that they can and often try to. Im going to start sharing the odd video of what is happening down in our capital so you can see what they are trying to do to our city. So we can all see the world they are pushing for. “Liverpool is a tolerant city” they always say which is true. But at the same time. We aren’t dickheads. And there is a limit to how nice we are. And this is the last city yiu want to piss off. Because if you piss us off, we bite back harder than anyone. When the Revolution begins. It will be this city that starts it. The left wingers think that because they are a gang of pushovers that the rest of us are too. Think again!

Mayes: That’s what we’re talking about. We’re talking about having to physically protect the machinery of democracy. And to me, it is surreal that we are at that place. But what I want Americans to know is that you have a team of AGs that has been working together for more than a year now to protect democracy. And we’re going to keep doing that, no matter what it takes. That’s what I think our founding fathers and mothers would want us to do.

AOC: The Republican Party’s brand is fear. And they have to constantly churn out what they want people to be afraid of—to be afraid of socialists, to be afraid of immigrants, to be afraid of women. They constantly want Americans in fear of somebody because, if you are not afraid of someone who is your neighbor, you’re going to realize who’s actually pickpocketing you. And that is the large corporations that are engaged in profiteering and jacking up your prices for no good reason. It’s going to be this administration that is engaged in record levels of swindling, theft, tariffs, and attacks on your housing. And so this is kind of their new thing of the day. But I think that people are feared out. I think everyone’s nerves are shot from constantly being taught and told what country, person, or community to be afraid of. And they just want a solution. They want their groceries to be more affordable. They want to figure out how we’re going to get health care. They want our housing to get under control. And I think that we’re ready for an affirmative vision, and we’re ready for an affirmative agenda.

Shuler: If you think about every industrial revolution we’ve been through, working people have helped us make that transition. It’s really because we’ve helped tame the technology and figured out how to use it in the most effective way. So I think your question about augmentation versus replacement is the big question we have. If we can all agree that this is about making our jobs better, safer, easier, and more productive, then we’re all in. But if you’re looking to de-skill, dehumanize, and replace workers, to put people out on the street with no path forward, then absolutely you’re going to have a revolution. So I think that’s something we all need to be very real about and think seriously about. If we’re going to have productivity gains, working people—the ones who make these industries happen—need to share in that. There hasn’t been a lot of discussion about that here. Of course, in terms of how we create policies, how we create tax infrastructure, whether or not we are redistributing—yes, that word is a dirty word around here—we need to talk about it and confront how we’re going to make sure working people share in the gains of these technologies. And if you look at the numbers of jobs, let’s talk about job quality. Yes, maybe there are a lot of jobs created, but what kind of jobs are we talking about? Are they jobs that can sustain a family? Is it a job where people can actually work one job? One job should be enough.

Shuler: If you think about every industrial revolution we’ve been through, working people have helped us make that transition. It’s really because we’ve helped tame the technology and figured out how to use it in the most effective way. So I think your question about augmentation versus replacement is the big question we have. If we can all agree that this is about making our jobs better, safer, easier, and more productive, then we’re all in. But if you’re looking to de-skill, dehumanize, and replace workers, to put people out on the street with no path forward, then absolutely you’re going to have a revolution.
