minor point to be made about this Mamdani ad but his campaign does a great job mining NYC lore to emphasize that the city's residents have great values; it also demonstrates an intimacy with the city that Cuomo lolllllll uhhh let's be charitable and say "lacks"

Update: Bari Weiss’s first pitch at CBS — a roundtable with Antony Blinken, Mike Pompeo, and Hillary Clinton that ended up being a virtual interview with Clinton & Condoleezza Rice — has about 150 viewers on YouTube.

Added with the 24/7 CBS stream, it’s just over 1200 viewers.
