TEMPERATURE OF 9:00 DEGREES CB DOING A FANTASTIC JOB. THANKS VERY MUCH. >> Molly: LET'S BRING IN REPUBLICAN -- >> NOW COMES THE GOVERNING.
A FASCINATING OP-ED IN THE "NEW YORK POST. " IT IS REALLY RATHER SCATHING ACTUALLY FROM TUESDAY. BEING IN THE STATE LEGISLATURE HAS PREPARED HIM ONLY TO RECITE LEFTIST POLICIES WITHOUT NOT KNOWING THE REAL WORLD WORKS.
A ROSTER OF DICEY AIDES ILLUSTRATE HE DOESN'T UNDERSTAND HOW FRAGILE PUBLIC SAFETY AND THE ECONOMY ARE. MOST ALARMING MAMDANI APPEARS OBLIVIOUS TO THE CLEAR POSSIBILITY IS PIE IN THE SKY POLICIES. ANGIE, START WITH YOU.
THIS ADDRESSES A LOT OF THE THINGS REPUBLICANS WERE SO CONCERNED ABOUT WHEN HIS BIG RISE HAPPENED IN THIS REMARKABLE CAMPAIGN GOT UNDERWAY. YOUR THOUGHTS. >> YES, I THINK MICHAEL GOLD WIN IS RIGHT TO SAY THIS.
I AGREE WITH HIM. NEW YORK CITY IN ANYONE WHO LIVED IN NEW YORK LONG ENOUGH HAVE SEEN THIS MOVIE BEFORE IN THE 1990s AND 1970s WHEN THE CITY WAS BANKRUPT. THIS CAN'T HAPPEN AGAIN.
I HOPE MAMDANI, VERY YOUNG. I HOPE HE CAN LEARN FROM THE MISTAKES OF PAST MAYORS AND LEARN NOT TO DO THIS AGAIN. BUT HIS WOKE POLICIES AND HIS GIVE EVERYTHING FOR FREE FOR EVERYONE THAT IS GOING TO BANKRUPT THE CITY.
HE IS LOOKING TO PULL FEDERAL FUNDS AND WHY HE MET WITH PRESIDENT TRUMP. I DON'T KNOW IF PRESIDENT TRUMP WILL PUT AID THAT WAY. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE HIM HAVE A BALANCED BUDGET.
APPLY IT INTO A BUSY CITY LIKE NEW YORK. WE WANT HIM TO SUCCEED. WE DON'T WANT HIM TO FAIL AS MUCH AS REPUBLICANS WOULD LOVE THE TALKING POINTS GOING INTO THE MID-TERMS AND AFTER THAT.
WE WOULD WANT TO SEE HIM SUCCEED. NEW YORK CITY IS THE FINANCIAL CAPITAL OF THE WORLD. WE CANNOT HAVE IT FAIL.
>> Molly: WILL HE PROVE THE NAYSAYERS WRONG? >> I THINK HE WILL. I WOULD LOVE TO ADDRESS OF FEW OF THE POINTS WRITTEN IN THE ARTICLE.
FIRST OF ALL ANTI-SEMITISM. AS A JEWISH PERSON MYSELF I HAVE VERY MUCH ENJOYED WATCHING HIM ENJOY A SHABBAT MEAL AND CELEBRATE HANUKKAH WITH RABBIS IN NEW YORK CITY. HIS HEART IS IN THE RIGHT PLACE AND I THINK PRESIDENT TRUMP SAW THAT WHEN HE WENT TO MEET WITH HIM IN PERSON.
SO MAYBE PERHAPS THE REPUBLICANS SHOULD TAKE A PAGE OUT OF PRESIDENT TRUMP'S BOOK AND SAY MAYBE WE WERE OVERREACTING OR MAYBE WE WERE ASSUMING THINGS INCORRECTLY BECAUSE OF HIS RACE OR RELIGION. WHEN IT COMES TO HIS FISCAL AND SAFETY POLICIES, I UNDERSTAND THAT PEOPLE ARE CONCERNED BUT MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT HE HAS KEPT ON THE CHIEF OF POLICE THAT WAS IN NEW YORK PRIOR TO HIM UNDER ERIC ADAMS WHO HAS DONE A FANTASTIC JOB CUTTING DOWN CRIME IN GENERAL AND NOT GET RID OF ANY POLICE OFFICERS. ATON OF MISINFORMATION OUT THERE ABOUT MAMDANI.
THE REASON WHY PEOPLE LOVE HIM HE TELLS THE TRUTH. I THINK HE WILL -- HE COMES OFF AS HONEST AND GENUINE AND I THINK HE WILL DELIVER ON THE PROMISES ONCE GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY. >> Molly: BROADER ACROSS 2026, THE BROADER NUMBER OF DEMOCRATS.
HERE IS BILL MAHER TALKING ABOUT A STRATEGY HE DOESN'T BELIEVE IS GOING SO WELL. LISTEN. >> IT IS A PHENOMENON WE HAVE NEVER SEEN BEFORE THAT ONE PERSON WOULD DOMINATE EVERY CONVERSATION.
FOR OVER A DECADE. BUT -- I DO THINK YOU HAVE TO FIGHT THAT, LIKE I SAY. IF THAT'S YOUR WHOLE PERSONALITY, THE FIRST THING OUT OF YOUR MOUTH IS WHAT WILL WE DO ABOUT DONALD TRUMP?
I JUST CAN'T. >> Molly: DO YOU THINK THERE IS TOO MUCH FOCUS ON ONE INDIVIDUAL AND WHAT TRUMP MEANS TO THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY? >> EVEN DEMOCRATS ARE SICK OF HEARING THAT TRUMP IS BAD.
THIS IS FROM THE SAME PLAYBOOK FROM 2016, 2020, 2024. THEIR ENTIRE IDENTITY IS WRAPPED AROUND TRUMP IS THE BAD ORANGE MAN. AN OLD RHETORIC AND ALL TIRED OF IT.
DEMOCRATS AND REPUBLICANS ALIKE WANT TO SEE MAYBE A POSITIVE AND HOPEFUL MESSAGE COMING OUT FROM THE DEMOCRAT PARTY AND WANT A UNIFYING MESSAGE THAT TALKS ABOUT GET THIS, ISSUES AND THAT'S SOMETHING THAT THEY JUST NEVER BEEN ABLE TO GO ON FOR THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS AND REALLY CONVINCED NOT ONLY VOTERS BUT DONORS THAT THEY CAN ACTUALLY DELIVER ON A WINNING MESSAGE. THAT'S WHAT WE SAW IN THE LAST QUARTER. DNC HAD A DISMAL FUNDRAISING QUARTER AND THEY HAVE A LOT OF CHALLENGES FOR THE MID-TERMS COMING UP.
IF THEY DON'T GET THEIR MESSAGING AND LEADERSHIP RIGHT AND GET OFF THE I HATE TRUMP THEY WON'T WIN. >> I AGREE WITH ANGIE BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME AND ABLE TO MAKE FRIENDS WITH PEOPLE LIKE ANGIE. MEDIA HASN'T BEEN ABLE TO GIVE CREDIT WHERE CREDIT IS DUE.
ONCE THEY START DOING THAT CERTAIN NETWORKS HAVE BEGUN THEY'LL EARN PEOPLE'S TRUST BACK. FOR NOW THEY DON'T HAVE THE TRUST OF A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO ENDED UP SWITCHING PARTIES IN ORDER TO VOTE FOR TRUMP WHO EITHER WERE INDEPENDENT OR DEMOCRAT BEFORE. WHEN IT COMES TO MAKING THE WHOLE PERSONALITY, PEOPLE ARE QUITE ANNOYED WITH IT ON ALL SIDES AND I THINK THAT WHEN IT COMES TO MOVING FORWARD, THE REASON WHY MAMDANI WAS SO SUCCESSFUL WAS BECAUSE HE GAVE PEOPLE A VISION.
HE DIDN'T JUST SAY I DON'T LIKE THINGS. HE SAID I WILL GIVE YOU A VIEW OF WHAT YOUR LIFE WILL FEEL LIKE WHEN YOU DON'T HAVE TO PAY FOR CHILDCARE, WHEN YOU DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THE BUS GETTING THERE ON TIME. WHEN YOU DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT GOING HUNGRY.
YOU HAVE TO BE ABLE TO GIVE PEOPLE A VISION AND WHY BARACK OBAMA WAS SO SUCCESSFUL. UNTIL WE DO THAT WE AREN'T GOING TO SUCCEED AND GOING OFF GENERAL MAMDANI POLICIES ISN'T GOING TO WORK. >> Molly: THANK YOU BOTH VERY MUCH.
