Video and Transcript for The Zohran Situation
Below you can find a YouTube version of Episode #35, The Zohran Situation.
Zohran Mamdani’s victory this week in the NYC Democratic primary for mayor had national impact. It could mark a turning point in US politics. It tripled CNBC’s Jim Cramer’s bar tab, angered billionaires and oligarchs from Bill Ackman to the White House, and triggered a call to arms in cabals throughout Wall Street and beyond.
Matt and David bring back friend of the show, Zephyr Teachout, to ask how Mamdani did it. Zephyr ran for governor against Cuomo in 2014, and her background as an attorney, professor, and candidate helps us understand what Mamdani's win means for the future of New York City politics, and the party as a whole.
This is not as heavily edited as the podcast is, it’s closer to the raw video of our taping session. We also have a rough transcript for you.
We have set up a YouTube channel that you can subscribe to for all future episodes.
Thanks for watching the show! We’ll have another one for you soon.

RIP Bill Moyers
Bill Moyers Was a Truth-Teller, Not a Stenographer for the Powerful
He showed a generation of journalists, scholars, and public intellectuals what it means to speak truth to power.
