Can a DSA candidate running on free buses, free childcare, and a freeze on rent become mayor of New York City? Polling first among declared candidates, N.Y. State Assembly member Zohran Mamdani is no symbolic candidate. He's has a strategy to win and a commitment to left principles that has even disgruntled lefties like Brie saying things like "he's the real deal." In this episode, candidate Zohran talks Mayor Adams and his scandals, Andrew Cuomo's threats to enter the race, and the details behind that viral Valentine's Day ad.

| 0:57.1 | It's such a pleasure to be here. |
| 0:58.6 | I feel like the last time you were on, we were probably talking about the cluster pluck that was the last mayoral election. |
| 1:06.2 | And so I kind of want to start by asking you to reflect on sort of how we ended up with Mayor Eric Adams |
| 1:12.0 | to begin with and what would prevent something like that happening again given that as I recall |
