lling other people to do stuff. But we observe that Trump is in the trenches all the time, day and night, sleeps less than anybody you ever know, works harder, takes fewer vacations, golfs a lot, but the golf is often work too. And so he creates this frame where you can't really hold in your head the hard worker part, which we observe and all know to be true, with the king part. That is brilliant.…
← Previous segment →nt to stay in my life and I want to stay in their life. So we have a separate, very good relationship, but they don't live with me but they're also a certain age. And the second thing is that I always saw it as a package deal. So even though the relationships are separate it's still a package deal. So when you agree to be part of the parent's life, you're agreeing to be part of the children's life too. As much as they want, it's up to them, right? It's always up to them. But as much as they want, I'm all in because both because they're just excellent people and I like having excellent people in my life. So the answer is it's really individual. If I were scraping by and didn't have enough money for myself, I would probably be regretting any kind of contact with any exes of any kind. But since I'm in a favorable situation financially, I can make their life a little easier and mine at the same time. So everybody wins.
Anyway, so what are the Democrats going to do now that their no-kings thing happened? It didn't make any difference to anybody. It just showed that they don't have anything. I think they proved that they don't have much Black support because the protesters were almost no diversity at all. And they were mostly older people and very few young men, the groups that they want to get. So if the Democrats wanted to win back the Black vote and win back the Hispanic vote and win back the young male vote, they did everything the opposite of that by showing all the people who are not that being their base visually. So visually I think it was a disaster for the Democrats because visually it was just grandparents. It was just old white grandparents, which could not be further from what they're trying to make their brand, which is all diverse everything. So I would say visually it was a complete disaster. But not in a way that they will recognize. There'll just be this continued drift toward fewer Democrats and nobody will be able to quite put their finger on what was the one thing that made that happen. Well, it wasn't one thing. It was everything. And this is just part of the everything that continues to push that ball down the road. It's like, no white guys. Nope. We don't like men. Nope. Nope. Just a little bit.
Mom Dami versus Cuomo and what's the other guy? Sliwa. There's a new poll. Gotham polling. I don't know how reliable Gotham polling is, but they do say that if Sliwa dropped out that it would be close between Cuomo and Mamdani and it would put Cuomo within striking distance and some New Yorkers, even Republicans, would say, "Ah, give us the Democrat. At least he's a normal Democrat." Cuomo being a normal Democrat. But Sliwa is not looking to drop out. So if he doesn't then it looks like Mamdani would win quite easily. So there's that.

What do you think of the theory that letting Mamdani win and essentially sacrificing our crown jewel city for however many years might be useful for Republicans and maybe useful for the city because it would prove that he's not the right solution and we maybe we get another 20-year reprieve from that kind of thinking. What do you think? Do you think we'd be better off, New York specifically? Do yo…
