check ░░░░░░░░ with the special panel ░░░░░░░░ by in studio B ░░░░░░░░ Josh Robin Hi Josh ░░░░░░░░ We are going to ░░░░░░░░ off a star studded ░░░░░░░░ that could go on ░░░░░░░░ a long time Thanks ░░░░░░░░ being here I appreciate ░░░░░░░░ Christina Greer from Fordham ░░░░░░░░ and the podcast Tom ░░░░░░░░ a Republican strategist Beverly ░░░░░░░░ the free times And ░░░░░░░░ Morie the Democratic strategist ░░░░░░░░ start off with you ░░░░░░░░ Lee What are the ░░░░░░░░ of what could be ░░░░░░░░ interesting night Will it ░░░░░░░░ as strange as people ░░░░░░░░ it might be I ░░░░░░░░ so I knew it ░░░░░░░░ be interesting no matter ░░░░░░░░ We are looking to ░░░░░░░░ how long nights for ░░░░░░░░ I D C Phones ░░░░░░░░ be I m going ░░░░░░░░ look to see what ░░░░░░░░ women do Are we ░░░░░░░░ to have a record ░░░░░░░░ a significant number of ░░░░░░░░ elected to office Are ░░░░░░░░ going to see the ░░░░░░░░ See decisively that Cuomo ░░░░░░░░ tonight Is he a ░░░░░░░░ of the state or ░░░░░░░░ light on the hill ░░░░░░░░ look for the turnout ░░░░░░░░ has been historically bad ░░░░░░░░ the last few years ░░░░░░░░ turnout will say if ░░░░░░░░ is surgery out there ░░░░░░░░ lot of that is ░░░░░░░░ Cynthia Nixon campaign Profresives ░░░░░░░░ to be under polling ░░░░░░░░ tonight I think looking ░░░░░░░░ the polling that shows ░░░░░░░░ Nixon down by 40 ░░░░░░░░ ridiculous I think it ░░░░░░░░ be closer than that ░░░░░░░░ think it will be ░░░░░░░░ on the turnout from ░░░░░░░░ to 20 If the ░░░░░░░░ from Brooklyn and Manhattan ░░░░░░░░ up that opportunity bode ░░░░░░░░ for the for We ░░░░░░░░ all the time about ░░░░░░░░ turnout what is the ░░░░░░░░ like I m getting ░░░░░░░░ reports You look on ░░░░░░░░ There are big lines ░░░░░░░░ I talk to the ░░░░░░░░ of the trekker of ░░░░░░░░ board of elections director ░░░░░░░░ the board of elections ░░░░░░░░ the city and they ░░░░░░░░ it s typical What ░░░░░░░░ you hear I am ░░░░░░░░ three and four times ░░░░░░░░ the Democrats turning out ░░░░░░░░ left is restless On ░░░░░░░░ notion that people are ░░░░░░░░ fighting hard enough Regardless ░░░░░░░░ the policy they are ░░░░░░░░ representing them to a ░░░░░░░░ to make them feel ░░░░░░░░ They personally don t ░░░░░░░░ like the base of ░░░░░░░░ party anymore and folks ░░░░░░░░ energized I think we ░░░░░░░░ see upsets tonight that ░░░░░░░░ one expected I think ░░░░░░░░ race at the top ░░░░░░░░ be tighter than people ░░░░░░░░ I would not be ░░░░░░░░ if the so called ░░░░░░░░ candidates Kathy hochul Letitia ░░░░░░░░ don t fail or ░░░░░░░░ come close to fail ░░░░░░░░ election Studying Andrew Cuomo ░░░░░░░░ much as we all ░░░░░░░░ and reading in his ░░░░░░░░ in the last couple ░░░░░░░░ days he didn t ░░░░░░░░ us any schedule for ░░░░░░░░ appearances yesterday Tonight we ░░░░░░░░ t know where he ░░░░░░░░ or what he will ░░░░░░░░ doing Do you think ░░░░░░░░ has the numbers to ░░░░░░░░ him uncomfortable I m ░░░░░░░░ he does I agree ░░░░░░░░ Tommy It s all ░░░░░░░░ turn out I think ░░░░░░░░ polling is way off ░░░░░░░░ this race I m ░░░░░░░░ to see if it ░░░░░░░░ be a night of ░░░░░░░░ institutionalists winning The establishment ░░░░░░░░ But sometimes a win ░░░░░░░░ a loss Andrew Cuomo ░░░░░░░░ t win with 55 ░░░░░░░░ the vote and call ░░░░░░░░ a strong win Because ░░░░░░░░ know he is looking ░░░░░░░░ 2020 Even when he ░░░░░░░░ he wasn t I ░░░░░░░░ fascinated to see if ░░░░░░░░ have a cuomo hochul ░░░░░░░░ establishment ticket or serious ░░░░░░░░ because the polling has ░░░░░░░░ terrible P S we ░░░░░░░░ about New York City ░░░░░░░░ is a whole state ░░░░░░░░ too I m curious ░░░░░░░░ are the other people ░░░░░░░░ Not just Manhattan The ░░░░░░░░ really as a rain ░░░░░░░░ look at is I ░░░░░░░░ that this for over ░░░░░░░░ from the day his ░░░░░░░░ term to now has ░░░░░░░░ moved to the left ░░░░░░░░ a lot of issues ░░░░░░░░ But he still gets ░░░░░░░░ Same thing with the ░░░░░░░░ D C A lot ░░░░░░░░ things implement and I ░░░░░░░░ we talked about it ░░░░░░░░ on another show tonight ░░░░░░░░ that what do they ░░░░░░░░ Why are they so ░░░░░░░░ where the governor has ░░░░░░░░ Progressive The I D ░░░░░░░░ Was part of that ░░░░░░░░ I struggled with this ░░░░░░░░ The issue is that ░░░░░░░░ is not enough Period ░░░░░░░░ s not going to ░░░░░░░░ If you think about ░░░░░░░░ actual record Andrew Cuomo ░░░░░░░░ whether you like the ░░░░░░░░ got done or not ░░░░░░░░ got done Gay marriage ░░░░░░░░ fracking Paid family leave ░░░░░░░░ you are a swing ░░░░░░░░ or a red state ░░░░░░░░ would rally around this ░░░░░░░░ a great Progressive success ░░░░░░░░ problem is the institutions ░░░░░░░░ and the way the ░░░░░░░░ is operating now there ░░░░░░░░ people who feel like ░░░░░░░░ are boxed out That ░░░░░░░░ the process by which ░░░░░░░░ got done required people ░░░░░░░░ get it done quicking ░░░░░░░░ screaming to get it ░░░░░░░░ kicking and screaming to ░░░░░░░░ it done or other ░░░░░░░░ were boxed out of ░░░░░░░░ process So if you ░░░░░░░░ to the Cynthia Nixon ░░░░░░░░ the message I heard ░░░░░░░░ been he didn t ░░░░░░░░ it quick enough or ░░░░░░░░ didn t do enough ░░░░░░░░ but the ultimate of ░░░░░░░░ s bargain 15 minimum ░░░░░░░░ by the time it ░░░░░░░░ around won t be ░░░░░░░░ It s not enough ░░░░░░░░ came after the election ░░░░░░░░ with this for he ░░░░░░░░ it kicking and sweeping ░░░░░░░░ he gets there ultimately ░░░░░░░░ in this particular moment ░░░░░░░░ this particular national administration ░░░░░░░░ Washington D C I ░░░░░░░░ think that Civil War ░░░░░░░░ the Democratic Party is ░░░░░░░░ The Civil War by ░░░░░░░░ own measure he failed ░░░░░░░░ didn t bring criminal ░░░░░░░░ reform to the table ░░░░░░░░ are a number of ░░░░░░░░ that he outline and ░░░░░░░░ his feet on Dream ░░░░░░░░ never happened He never ░░░░░░░░ the muscle and the ░░░░░░░░ to bear Hang on ░░░░░░░░ his own measure it ░░░░░░░░ t happen It got ░░░░░░░░ and sat along him ░░░░░░░░ Cuomo and was a ░░░░░░░░ and criminal justice reform ░░░░░░░░ Got him to switch ░░░░░░░░ and said you failed ░░░░░░░░ I will swing to ░░░░░░░░ Nixon That is a ░░░░░░░░ of an example of ░░░░░░░░ failure his look of ░░░░░░░░ Picking up pieces to ░░░░░░░░ I outlined this for ░░░░░░░░ and I failed What ░░░░░░░░ would say is I ░░░░░░░░ t disagree with that ░░░░░░░░ I would say this ░░░░░░░░ is a look of ░░░░░░░░ in today s Democratic ░░░░░░░░ for the notion that ░░░░░░░░ things don t happen ░░░░░░░░ There is a process ░░░░░░░░ takes times sometimes There ░░░░░░░░ a restlessness in the ░░░░░░░░ amongst the base that ░░░░░░░░ I m tired of ░░░░░░░░ it from the democratic ░░░░░░░░ it from the Democratic ░░░░░░░░ Where you take this ░░░░░░░░ and then this step ░░░░░░░░ go for it Do ░░░░░░░░ Ram it through The ░░░░░░░░ keeps telling the base ░░░░░░░░ the loyal base largely ░░░░░░░░ of color as well ░░░░░░░░ on Don t go ░░░░░░░░ the other guys You ░░░░░░░░ to stay in protectionist ░░░░░░░░ Ed no advancement phase ░░░░░░░░ with me and I ░░░░░░░░ give you crumb after ░░░░░░░░ and ignore you every ░░░░░░░░ or four years Now ░░░░░░░░ are seeing frustration I ░░░░░░░░ there are people who ░░░░░░░░ with the establishn t ░░░░░░░░ but there are a ░░░░░░░░ of folks who are ░░░░░░░░ is enough And especially ░░░░░░░░ we have someone to ░░░░░░░░ Trump in this particular ░░░░░░░░ This is how you ░░░░░░░░ an actress with zero ░░░░░░░░ policy experience giving the ░░░░░░░░ a run for his ░░░░░░░░ I giving the governor ░░░░░░░░ run for his money ░░░░░░░░ how long can you ░░░░░░░░ on the dream act ░░░░░░░░ long How long This ░░░░░░░░ important I said it ░░░░░░░░ eight years It hasn ░░░░░░░░ come to fruition How ░░░░░░░░ do you have to ░░░░░░░░ I hear that Photo ░░░░░░░░ in Puerto RICO because ░░░░░░░░ helps me with the ░░░░░░░░ I need to come ░░░░░░░░ ballot box But at ░░░░░░░░ end of the day ░░░░░░░░ is it that you ░░░░░░░░ restlessness if not just ░░░░░░░░ fatigue But let me ░░░░░░░░ this question to the ░░░░░░░░ At the same time ░░░░░░░░ think that Andrew Cuomo ░░░░░░░░ likely to win tonight ░░░░░░░░ might not win by ░░░░░░░░ margin relatively close probably ░░░░░░░░ close for him when ░░░░░░░░ Teachout came up but ░░░░░░░░ think he will win ░░░░░░░░ are the constitutional advantages ░░░░░░░░ think that Andrew Cuomo ░░░░░░░░ be the Victor tonight ░░░░░░░░ how much he is ░░░░░░░░ to spend That is ░░░░░░░░ incumbents win all the ░░░░░░░░ They win because of ░░░░░░░░ name recognition they are ░░░░░░░░ TV and radio and ░░░░░░░░ the mailbox every day ░░░░░░░░ the week Cynthia Nixon ░░░░░░░░ the money that Andrew ░░░░░░░░ spent does anybody does ░░░░░░░░ think she wouldn t ░░░░░░░░ tonight The only reason ░░░░░░░░ say there is with ░░░░░░░░ that said there is ░░░░░░░░ a big part of ░░░░░░░░ party now that is ░░░░░░░░ a candidate who yes ░░░░░░░░ to be a Progressive ░░░░░░░░ on a from gressive ░░░░░░░░ However she comes to ░░░░░░░░ table with it will ░░░░░░░░ no executive or political ░░░░░░░░ And the Democrats in ░░░░░░░░ have seen we have ░░░░░░░░ seen the nation has ░░░░░░░░ how bad that can ░░░░░░░░ out We have to ░░░░░░░░ it there We have ░░░░░░░░ long night ahead of ░░░░░░░░ We will send it ░░░░░░░░ to you for now ░░░░░░░░ All right We are ░░░░░░░░ a few minutes away ░░░░░░░░ 9 00 when the ░░░░░░░░ will close And we ░░░░░░░░ start to get election ░░░░░░░░ I have to point ░░░░░░░░ that there is one ░░░░░░░░ that is not on ░░░░░░░░ ballot but the name ░░░░░░░░ everyone in the Democratic ░░░░░░░░ is running against President ░░░░░░░░ Trump Errol Absolutely He ░░░░░░░░ looming over the different ░░░░░░░░ I brought it up ░░░░░░░░ the other nigh and ░░░░░░░░ underscores the point that ░░░░░░░░ for delegate of the ░░░░░░░░ convention which is the ░░░░░░░░ obscure unpaid meets once ░░░░░░░░ other year body in ░░░░░░░░ Democratic Party has literature ░░░░░░░░ we ll fight against ░░░░░░░░
