Chris Cuomo Suffers Mayor Mamdani Meltdown

Chris Cuomo used to be an anchor on CNN. I don't know, what were the circumstances in which they let him go?

So I remember this. It was when his brother, Andrew Cuomo, you may have heard of him, was in the midst of the wave of sexual harassment and I mean, assault in some ways, ways allegations and it was found that he was basically serving as an informal advisor to him despite being a

journalist at CNN and so CNN... That seems like a conflict of interest. Yes CNN basically said it was a conflict and they parted ways. You tend to try to identify one of the accusers. I mean

you try to dox one of them that's fine and you know incidentally I should also say just as a side note I mentioned the other day that I had remembered a story where the Mario Cuomo did not attend. Andrews 50th birthday and I can't find the article on that but somebody sent me an article where Andrew was not invited to a celebration of Mario Cuomo's legacy because all of Andrew Cuomo's and article where Andrew was not invited to a celebration of Mario Cuomo's legacy because all of Andrew Cuomo's. I mean all Mario Cuomo's can say you know advisers and confidants they

didn't like Andrew they felt like he was a was a stain on his father's legacy and I also think that he was a was a stain on his father's. Legacy and I also think that he may have. There was some issue that he may have like been inappropriate or Italian as Andrew Cuomo would say with

one of these advisers wife. So yeah, so anyways, but the the news. I mean I'm not going to say that I'm not going to say that I'm not going to say that I'm not going to say that I'm not going to say that I'm not going to say that I'm not going to say that I'm not going to say that I'm not going to say that I'm not going to say that I'm not going to say that I'm not going to say that I'm not going to say that I'm not going to the news and he sees that there's a problem and he even has come up with a new slogan that nobody else except for him uses so it's not really a

slogan, but he's come up with a nickname for people who want more affordability is that it I guess so he's a great job, it's not in this part he calls it mega but nobody knows really

what it means to make the economy great again, but he doesn't explicitly say it in this.

Yeah. Which of course is. He thinks it's so clear that he can just say it. Yeah. So he's going to say like there's a MAGA versus mega thing. And it really is like it's also a cry for help, I think.

Both are right about what feels wrong about the economic realities in America. And both are more about the anger than they are about the answers. MAGA and MEGA are about the anger, not the answers. Okay, don't take it from me. Take it from his honor. A great New Yorker once said that while you campaign in poetry, you govern in prose. If that must be true, let the prose we write still rhyme and let us build a shining city

for all.

Okay, there was a lot of anger in the speech to the anger is okay you know i'll tell you something what just happened there they played the wrong clip and uh... they actually played a quote from chris cuomo's dad by mistake

you know what this tells me nobody news nation likes chris cuomo and he thought that they were gonna play an angry thing and they literally and I'm not going to say that I'm not going to say that I'm not going to say that I'm not going to say that I'm not going to say that I'm not going to say that I'm not going to say that I'm not going to say that I'm not going to say that I'm not going to say that I'm not going to say that I'm not going to say that I'm not going to say that I'm not going to say which I think he's just sort of implying like we can be a little bit more exciting. We can cover the poetry as well. Yes, and we can actually do things,

which of course is not really about anger.

So hostile.

Wait, I just don't think.

Build a shining city for all?

Why do you think they played the wrong clip?

I honestly think it's because nobody there likes Chris Cuomo.

But this is the, but.

I think that's a good thing.

I think that's a good thing. I think that's a good thing. I think that's a good thing. He is taking a pot shot at my dad. That is his definition of anger. We're gonna get to the Van Jones clips later They're all the they've sent out the talking points. Whoever it is. The Zionist donors, whatever it is Zora Mamdani is angry. He's a radical. He's crazy. Van Jones says angry same thing They are going with this narrative. And so that's what he's running with. I think he's trying to say it's divisive

He's still taking shots at my poor, poor, narcissistic, sexual predator brother in his victory speech. But that's not the part they played. The part

they played was him literally saying what Mario Komo said. He comments on it. Let's go back. Okay. Okay. Just go back and like, look at his face coming out of that thing. And I think he clearly, he takes a moment and he realizes like, oh, this is not the place for that clip.

Shining city for all.

OK, look, there was a lot of anger in the speech because the anger is what got him there. The question is, who is they? And whose time is it no longer? And what will that look like?

Now, that was a reference in there, which was a very weird mix. Who is they right and whose time is it no longer and what will that look like now?

That was a reference in there, which was a very weird mix. He just paraphrased Mario Cuomo and

Ronald Reagan, I don't know if he knows that I think he did because he was trying to be petty but

My father's line again. I don't think it was an accident. I don't care what you think, you know about the left. Okay?

this guy AOC, Bernie, compared to my father, these are posers when it comes to being true democratic values, all right? My father was a doer and a fighter and a fixer. He loved America. He believed that he would never have become anything like he was able to become

here. And he believed in a big part of that was capitalism and that diversity was our strength.

OK, pause it.

Hold on for a second.

He is quoting your father, dummy, to mock your brother, to stick a little knife in him and not even say the name Cuomo, but to have you react to it and have Andrew understand, yeah, I'm using your own father's words against you as I beat your ass for a second time. He was trying to just like be—I mean, this is his rapper background. He was just being like, awesome, basically. And there was a great article in Politico, maybe you were referencing it,

where they just like completely lay into Andrew Cuomo about this with a bunch of quotes, one from state Senator Liz Krueger and then from Bill de Blasio too, about basically how Andrew Cuomo is constantly chasing his father's legacy

and constantly unable to live up to it.

Yeah, on top of Andrew Cuomo, I mean, this is like a Mamdani's reminder to Cuomo, you're not your dad. And the idea that A, Chris Cuomo sort of like, sort of like elides the fact that like, well he was first generation immigrant, my dad, and he loved this country because this is the place where it could happen, which of course is almost like the centerpiece of Mamdani's campaign, right? the country. And I'm like, I'm going to go to New York. I'm going to go to

New York. I'm going to go to New York. I'm going to go to New York. I'm going to go to New York. I'm going to go to New York. I'm going to go to New York. I'm going to go to New York. I'm going to go to New York. I'm going to go to New Last time I heard anybody comment on the question as to whether diversity is our strength was this guy's brother when he said, it's also a danger.

It can be a weakness on MSNBC and then repeatedly confused two black hosts names on the network.

Yeah, let's.

To divide needed to be dealt with, okay? He was stronger than all of them combined, but sweeter as well. These are mean people. And that's why half the city came out against them. But they are right about what is wrong

when it comes to affordability. The question is, do they want to make things right or worse, three big points. MAGA and MEGA are following playbooks. question is do they want to make things right or worse three big points. MAGA and mega are following playbooks project 2025 you can say, Oh no, it's a boogeyman. No,

it wasn't like a Jack and uh, I feel like this is like the, uh, the, the, uh, both sides type of thing. I don't remember a single mayoral campaign where there was more specifics about what the guy wanted to do. I mean, the the the the the

the the the is the universal child care, the freeze on the rents and the grocery stores. I mean, everybody in the country knows those are his four things.

And not one can name an Andrew Cuomo policy.

Yeah.

He was presenting. Except, right, him being a total perv. But like also.

I don't think that was a promise.

Yeah, but the way he's talking about his father. Well, I'm not going to not be Italian. Yeah, the way he's talking about his father is this like unifying figure. That was in the 1970s when Cuomo did lose the Democratic primary and ran as an independent, which his son tried to echo. And that was when they were running the ads, Vote for Cuomo, not the homo.

Against Ed Koch.

Against Ed Koch, who was a closeted gay man. So this is total revisionist history as well.

Yeah, but Mamdani and AOC never brought him cereal in the morning.

Right.

You know?

Right.

Right.

Like he was sweet as he was powerful.

Yeah. Well, actually, Dad wasn't. There is a, I imagine that there's a real story about

the relationship in this family that this is why Cuomo was blue Trump I mean it's all there nepo baby kind of comes from a father who was more successful than you constantly trying to live up to them built on bullying and transactions and corruption I mean this like they are very, very similar people.

You mentioned the vote Cuomo, not the homo thing. Did you see the update that Andrew Cuomo's daughter did on that recently?

Oh my God, I did see this. This is the most cringe thing. I will say it's not racist and it's not homophobic and it's not, it's just... Atrocious it's just yes. I'm this is It's amazing this came out after You know it's amazing about it. It's at cool girls for capitalism event and

Did they have to put her father in a cage?

You should see the pictures. He's looming in the background.

But is it a straight jacket?

Yeah, they need cuffs for that guy. And not in the way you're thinking, Andrew.

But why is it the biggest simps for capitalism have absolutely no sense of what they're putting out and how it will be received by the public?

The demand for this.

This is one of the worst product rollouts I've ever seen. Go ahead.

Go Bow Bow! Go Bow Bow! Go Bow Bow! Go Bow Bow!

I'm sure it's like he was like, sweetheart, please, I love you. You're my daughter. But stop, stop. My God, stop. No FOMO. Vote Cuomo.

No fear of missing out.

Vote Cuomo.

What are we missing out on? Some lower back touching?

Oh my God. I'm sure she's a very nice person but I don't think...

I love even his comment like it's great how you just came up with that kind of says like you know this was off the top of her head everybody.

Who's I am?

You know that saying the apple doesn't fall far from the tree? Well sometimes it does. Sometimes there's a tree and it's on like a hill and sometimes the apple falls off the hill, off the tree, and it rolls all the way down to the hill and there's a stream there. And it rolls into the stream and the stream takes it down out to the ocean, essentially, and then it just goes miles and miles away. Well, I think that's

what we're watching another safe for that which is shit rolls down.

My gosh.
