Socialist NYC mayor-elect calls for Starbucks boycott during 'Red Cup Rebellion'

Socialist NYC mayor-elect calls for Starbucks boycott during 'Red Cup Rebellion' We got some big labor news this morning. And, oh, joining us to make an important announcement is Michelle Eisen. She’s the national spokesperson for Starbucks Workers United.

She’s also been at the Buffalo store for over 15 years. Right, Michelle? Yes, I was at the Buffalo location, the first to organize in the U.S. in 2021. Amazing. Okay,

Welcome to the End Show, why don’t you tell the people what you guys are doing? So this morning, Starbucks baristas are out on our biggest unfair labor strike ever on the campaign trail today.

More than 1,000 baristas are currently in front of their stores, picketing, protesting the company’s refusal to budge and returning to the bargaining table with new proposals

that meet our remaining demands and expose their evil union. A little bit about, you know, it's been a few years. Discovering the origins of the Starbucksunionization movement here.

What's life been like with the company? You know, conceding to certain demands. Has the union been busted? What's the relationship with management like right now? Okay. Okay, it's been a wild ride.

It's been four years. You're right. It's been a long time. I'm unfortunate that I've been informed that the company has spent most of that time inciting the union, violating U.S. labor law left and right.

They're the most prolific violators of U.S. labor law in modern history. That's not debatable. Um they've been found guilty over 400 times.

Um ALJ judges across the country have found them guilty of violating workers' rights over 400 times. There are over 700 pending unfair labor practice charges that have yet to be dismissed.

And this year alone, they've committed 125 more. So, in 2024, the company contacted the union and said, “Hey, our fight is over. We want to reach an agreement.

We’re promising to have a fair contract with our unionized workforce by the end of 2024, as well as resolve outstanding legal issues.” They’ve failed to do either of those things

and instead have continued to fight workers everywhere and violate American labor law, and workers are absolutely fed up with it. Oh, there are some demands left after nine months of bargaining back in 2024

that the company has refused to give us any real proposals or solutions on. And they’re higher take-home pay, like making sure their workers can pay their bills, fixing staffing issues in our stores,

which are just cruel. If you've been to Starbucks anytime recently, you've seen stores that are very understaffed,

and meanwhile, at the same time, baristas aren't being paid the hours they need to pay the bill. And then continuing to violate the law and refusing to address any of these unfair labor practices

that are just hanging over their heads and really hurting the brand's reputation, hurting their workers,And the workers are ready to move accordingly. We set a time for the company. We set that we started the strike authorization vote a few weeks ago.

We said you have to come back with some resolutions by November 13th, which is Red Cup Day. This is a great day for the company. Um, here are our demands that have been very clear to you for the last 6 months

And they haven't come back. So, the workers are inactive right now and they're going to stay out there and they're going to get bigger and stronger until the company comes back. Oh, Michelle, how many stores have you unionized at this point?

We've won over 650 locations in 45 states and DC. Oh, but unfortunately, the company announced the store closures about a month ago. Mso currently has 550 union locations open

READ MORE YOUTUBE NEWS: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/SSDmfLyV8yM

And that's over 11,000 Starbucks baristas who are unionized. And how are unionized stores and baristas treated compared to ununized? Quite honestly,

Every Starbucks barista is suffering right now. Yes. Um, all the policies that have been implemented under Brian Nickel have only made the workers’ jobs harder and they haven’t improved the environment in those stores.

They haven’t improved the customer experience at all, which is why we’ve actually only seen an increase in our organizing under Brian Nickel.

Um, we’ve organized over 160 stores, I think, since he took over in that role. So, the non-union or union workers are recognizing

that this company is not ready to step up and take care of them. They’re ready to invest millions of dollars in other places

like the $96 million severance package that Brian Nickel received for just his first four months with the company. They spent $81 million on a 4-day managers' conference in Vegasthis past June.

So, we know the company has money. Obviously they're not worried about money. But unfortunately, they're not investing in their hourly workforce.

The people who bring in that revenue, the people who build those relationships with customers that make them come back to those stores and spend money every single day.

They're just not putting that money in the right place and the unionized workers are struggling very hard to make this business better. As we want the company to be successful. We want the company to be successful.

It would be detrimental for us not to do that. Um, and we've presented the company with a lot of options to help address those issues. Wouldn’t it be nice

to walk into a Starbucks for your Peppermint Mocha this holiday season and not have to wait 40 minutes, watch two or three baristas work or six people run around

because they haven’t put in enough effort to hide the business that the store is doing. When we see or I’ve heard a store manager say something like, “Oh, well, you know,

people just don’t want to work.” There are baristas who are dying to work hours who are begging for a schedule

so they can pay their bills, so they can qualify for these amazing benefits that the company says they offer.Um, and they're just not scheduling. So, it's not a case of not having enough workers.

It's a case of not scheduling enough of those workers to meet the needs of the business and to make sure they're able to qualify for benefits and pay their bills.

Many Starbucks baristas rely on SNAP and Medicaid. Why does a multi-billion dollar corporation have employees who are subsidized by the government? It's not

that just doesn't count. Yeah, right. Great point. Great point. And so we are. We're just waiting. The baristas are tired. It's going to get bigger.

This will be the biggest and longest strike in the company's history if the company doesn't come back to meet the demands. And we're asking our allies to stand with us.

For every barista who is on the picket line, a dozen allies have pledged not to cross the picket line and not to shop at Starbucks while the workers are on strike.

That's the equivalent of thousands of people not spending their money at Starbucks this holiday season. So that's a very clear message and we're ready. We're ready. We've been ready for months.

We've been ready for years to get this deal done. We know it can be done in less than a day's sales. It would cost this company less than a day's notice to get a multi-year contract with the union.

Even less than they paid Brian Nickel millions of dollars for his first four months of employment. Even less than what they spent on that 4-day managers' conference in Vegas,

which was over $80 million. Um, Michelle, tell us a little bit about the allies who have pledged to stand with you in solidarity. And then finally, what are you asking the public to do?

So we had a sign on the letter that came from a bunch of different organizations. I'm sure the total number was in the millions, of which they represented tens of millions of people.

And they all said, you know, the people we represent are pledging not to cross the picket line if workers have to go on an unfair labor strike.

And here we are. Um, and we're not spending our money at Starbucks. We're not going to buy gift cards for our kids' teachers. We're not going to get our peppermint mochas,

you know, when we're shopping for the holidays. We're only going to stay away from Starbucks when workers are on strike.

Um, and so we have student activists in their colleges doing the same thing,

talking to their colleagues, um, talking to their administration about not having Starbucks products on their campuses. We have the global labor movement standing behind these workers.

Because, you know, we're all working class. Unless you're in the top 1%, you're a worker and you trust your employer to pay you fairly for your hard work, you know,

and so they just made a pledge not to cross a line and not to spend their money at Starbucks. And all we're asking is

that people keep it up. We have a site called nocontractnoccoffee.org. You can go there. You can get the latest information on amazing places.

Uh, you can sign our pledge not to cross the picket line and not to spend your money at Starbucks during the workers' strike.

And you can join us on the picket line. Um, workers are making sacrifices. It's the holiday season.We, you know, workers are sacrificing time with our families. They're sacrificing wages. They're potentially sacrificing,

you know, losing benefits of not going to work, being on strike to protest the company's failure to come back with new proposals that address these issues and to address these legal issues.

Um, and so say hello, if you see them on strike, join in for a little while, leave the doughnuts. Um, there's just always going to be more workers than CEOs in this country

And we have to stand together. So this is that moment and um this is this easy win and I think the company will finally see that this can be fixed. It can be fixed as soon as possible.

We could go back to tablets tomorrow. We could fix the problems. We could make the lives of workers better. We could make the experience better for the customers and overall it would make the company better overall.

Yes, that's right, Michelle. There is no contractcoffee.org website. I couldn't agree more with you about the importance of working people organizing.

I think the lack of that organization is one of the biggest things that's wrong with this country right now.

 Special interview with Zahran Mamdani - Pakistan

Special interview with Zahran Mamdani - Pakistan

Special interview with Zahran Mamdani - Pakistan The first question is, obviously, is New York ready? New York is a diverse city that welcomes people of all faiths and races from all over the world. But right now, it's a polarized environment.

It's a polarized environment in which President Trump has been elected, and he's just been elected president of the United States. He's clearly talking about tax cuts for big corporations.

Furthermore, he's clearly anti-immigrant. You're the candidate for socialist Muslim immigrants. Is New York ready? I think yes, I'm definitely ready.

And you know, the conversations I've had. In the whole of New York City, in the five boroughs, I just heard that it's the most expensive city in the United States and it's made it very difficult for working-class New Yorkers to be able to afford this city.

And this whole campaign is focused on affordability, on making the city affordable, on freezing fares, on making buses free, on universal childcare, and when I talk to people about this campaign and its focus, they see their own struggles in it because

More and more New Yorkers are being priced out. They are pushing the city out of the city, and they are. They are ready for a new generation of leadership, and they know it.

Muslims are just like other New Yorkers. We want and deserve the same things: equality and respect. Finally, it’s time to show it.

City politics can look like the city. I mean, and when we look from the outside, it’s clear that right-wing politics is on the rise around the world, especially in the West, and people may not be so welcoming,

but when you go to the voters, what kind of welcome do you get? A very welcoming welcome that a Muslim immigrant could be mayor of New York. Yeah, you know,

The thing is, when you talk to New Yorkers, it’s a very different conversation. It’s about the issues in their lives. Every time you talk to these corporate packs and these billionaires,

you see that they are focused on trying to divide New Yorkers. Because this election is still seven days away and that's what Andrew and I are.

Reese and his campaign are taking millions of dollars from Republican billionaires, and they are using that money to design mailers. Grow my beard artificially that will turn black.

My beard that New Yorkers ask. They are afraid of me, and they are the candidates for it. Describe me as a monster. That's how they describe me. I am at the door.

That's the language. Islamophobia. You were elected to be a U.S. official in this city and a leading candidate for mayor.

So, when these things happen, you think they are. Trying to divide New Yorkers, but when you actually talk to New Yorkers, then 

 You will hear that they are hungry for a new leadership, and what do they think? Being a good Muslim is just being a good person. It means helping those in need

and hurting someone, and in the end, I was ready for that. Understand your place in this world, it is my responsibility to make it better. And former Governor Andrew Cuomo has certainly been plagued by scandals,

but in the recent debate, you narrowed your margin on them, which was 40 percent in a short period of time and 40 percent in a short period of time in the campaign. In one poll, you even appear to be ahead.

but in the recent debate, they attacked you on the grounds that you are young and inexperienced. The seat you are running for is a very complex city. One of the most important cities in the world.

A 33-year-old inexperienced young man cannot run this city. So, how do you prove that people should vote for you? And not for experience? You know, I ask New Yorkers,

What we need right now, do they have the answer? What kind of experience do we need? Because I see Andrew Kormos, experience? And I see it.

The experience of cutting medical funding, having millions in the public transit system, having more sexual harassment than women, claiming to fight for working people but giving tax breaks to wealthy taxpayers,

Finally, the kind of experience that I said was a publicity crisis, I don't have, I don't have. I thought I didn't have experience fighting because I didn't have experience fighting a war.

Thousands of working-class taxi drivers, many of us are locals, about 40% of us come from India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and they've been cheated. In this city, and I thought with thousands.

Many of them for months, and we secured $450 million for those drivers. Interview that you are the only candidate who has used the word "genocide" in reference to what is happening in Palestine and Gaza

. You have been asked repeatedly, "New York is a city with the second largest Jewish population after Israel, so are you offending your Jewish voters?" What is the reaction there?

New York Mayor Elect Zohran Mamdani Announces All-Female Transition Team

New York Mayor Elect Zohran Mamdani Announces All-Female Transition Team Last night we made history. And today I am proud to stand here as the elected mayor of the greatest city in the world. More than two million New Yorkers voted.

Whether it was the millions who supported this campaign, or those who supported someone else, or those who were too desperate to participate in the political process.

I will work every day to honor the trust I now have. The poetry of the campaign may have ended at 9:00 p.m., but the beautiful work of governing has only just begun.

The hard work of improving New Yorkers’ lives begins now. That process begins with transition. In the months ahead, my team and I will build a City Hall

that delivers on the promises of this campaign. We will create an administration that is capable and compassionate to the unequal divide, that is governed with integrity, and that is willing to work as hard

as the millions of New Yorkers who call this city home. And at the heart of that effort is a transition team defined by the excellence New Yorkers will soon expect from their government.

Our team will be led by Alana Leopold, whose roots in this city stretch back to her grandmother who ran the streetcar on Roosevelt Island. She has been a key part of our campaign to become the city’s next mayor.

  The transition will be led by our strong co-chairs: former Federal Trade Commission Chair Lena Khan, former First Deputy Mayor Maria Torres Springer, United Way President and CEO Grace Bonya,

 and former Deputy Mayor for Health and Human Services Melanie Hartzig. In the coming days, we will begin to announce the leaders who will implement our agenda.

People love deputy mayors who oversee all areas of government and commissioners who carry out the important work of city agencies. Some of these names will be familiar to you,

others will not. What will unite them will be a commitment to solving old problems with new solutions. We will cast a wide net. We will speak to organizers on the front lines of the fight to improve our city.

Government veterans with proven track records, policy experts from around the country and the world, and working people who know better than anyone what their neighborhoods need.

Throughout this campaign, I have worked hard to be accessible and transparent with New. It is that same passion that will drive this transition and City Hall

Because New Yorkers deserve government they can trust. And on January 1, as our city celebrates the inauguration of a new administration, let us also celebrate a new era for our city.

One that we all feel invested in and work to make a success of. Now, it is my pleasure to invite Elana Leopold to provide a few words.

Good morning, my name is Elana Leopold and I am very proud to serve as the Executive Director of Mayor-elect Mam Donny’s Leadership Team.

I want to thank Zoron for his confidence in Maybooth on the campaign trail and in the next exciting chapter of this movement. As a third-generation New Yorker who grew up in Mitch Lana Mitch Lama Housing

and attended CUNI, I have a deep appreciation for the city’s commitment to this work and a commitment to building on it. I love this city with all my heart

and I am so grateful for the opportunity to help shape its future. I am also expecting a child soon and so I want the future she inherits

to be a possibility and an opportunity. And I want my new family, like so many others, to be able to count on the universal child care that the campaign has built on.

I know from first-hand experience that no one can fight for New Yorkers more than Zeron. He has the vision and drive to lower the cost of living

so that families like mine can afford to live in the city we built.

I can't wait to help shape government for our next mayor and for our builders.

My name is Grace Ba Oh and I am excited to be with you all today. I want to congratulate Mayor-elect Mannion on her story-telling victory and a campaign

that has captured the imagination of the Somalis and centered around the needs of working New Yorkers as a North Star. I am honored to be part of a transition team

and I look forward to working with you to build an administration that will work tirelessly to ensure

that working New Yorkers can finally afford to live and raise the families they love in the city they live in.

As a Queens native and the daughter of Ecuadorian immigrants who has dedicated her career to fighting for the rights of vulnerable New Yorkers,

this meeting means so much to me. Especially at a time when our immigrant communities and the people I serve are under attack. As we stand here today,

1.8 million New York City residents are helpless to feed themselves and their families due to the federal government’s inaction. I am confident that the Mayor-elect will always stand with New Yorkers

and fight against any federal encroachment and will not target the programs our neighbors need to survive. I look forward to helping him do the work that is needed to create an effective government

that keeps every New Yorker safe, healthy, livable, and upholding the greatness of our city and our people. My name is Mel Hartzig. Uh, when I’m upset

no one calls me Melanie except my mom. Um, and I’m so excited to be here with you all today. I want to start by congratulating our Mayor-elect Mandani on an impressive

and amazing campaign and victory last night. In my day job, I will lead New York Founding, one of the city’s largest and oldest social service organizations.

I previously served in two administrations as Deputy Mayor for Health and Human Services, Director of the Office of Management and Budget, Deputy Commissioner for Administration for Children’s Services, among other roles.

There’s one thing I’ve been reminded of time and again in this job. It all comes down to economics. Paying your rent, putting food on the table, taking care of your kids. New Yorkers care deeply about that.

And it’s one that the mayor-elect has successfully applied. It’s an honor to be a part of the mayoral race and to join this incredible group of women

who are the epitome of public service to ensure that we bring the best, brightest, and most important people to this moment of promise for our fellow New Yorkers.

Thank you so much, everyone. It’s been great to see you all. Oh, I just want to start by congratulating our Mayor-elect, Manion, on an incredible victory and a remarkable campaign last year.

I think what we saw last night was New Yorkers not only electing a new mayor, but clearly rejecting a politics

in which corporate power and money too often dictate our politics and a clear mandate for change, where New Yorkers can move forward and where all workers and small businesses can thrive,

not only that. I think what we saw through the campaign was an operation that demonstrated extraordinary discipline, toughness, talent, and I know Zoron has the vision and the courage to make sure

that we can actually deliver. Oh, it's an honor to be part of his transition team, and I'm excited to work with the co-chairs to ensure that we build an administration that can hit the ground running and deliver for all New Yorkers. 

Everyone, my name is Maria Torres Springer, and first of all, I want to congratulate the Mayor on her extraordinary victory last night and on her campaign for the people.

I am thrilled to join her extraordinary women’s transformation team, and to help ensure that

her administration is ready to govern boldly and effectively from day one. As the daughter of immigrants who believed in the promise of this country and as a proud New Yorker who loves this city

and believes in it, I campaigned for mayor in a way that reminded us that housing is our greatest challenge and our greatest hope for our future.

I am so proud of the work I have done over three mayoral administrations to make our city more affordable and more equitable.

This has been my life’s work and I am eager to bring that experience, what was learned, what worked, what didn’t, to help the Mayor-elect deliver a quick, tangible win for New Yorkers.

Despite the challenges we face as a city and a country, the Mayor-elect has truly rekindled something very powerful and a shared New York faith in working people.

Boldly. Most importantly, he and I share an unwavering belief in the ability of government to work for the people.

An incredible belief in the ability of public servants is not just met, not even met. I look forward to helping you build an administration

that will happily and quickly lower costs, build housing, expand child care,

and ensure that every New Yorker can live a life of dignity in the city we all love.. 

Zohran Mamdani wins New York mayoral election in 2025

Zohran Mamdani wins New York mayoral election  And we're paying them. - Governor Whitman, I hate this. I have to stop you. I have to thank you for joining us.

But we have another call we want to make, which is that NBC NEWSSCAN is now projecting that Democratic sociologist Zoran Mamdani is the likely winner.

Mayor-elect of New York City, the first Muslim to hold that distinction. He came close and topped the list in the Assemblyman primary, Governor Komvas was beaten there

And then Rana, an independent, and now he's declared the winner. Big board. How did he pull it off? How did he pull it off? What's going to be a historic win? - Yeah, well,

It's probably going to be closer than the Spanish win. It was a 12-point margin in that Hadi primary. I mean, CLRly said the polls were all over the place,

but the polls are still pretty close to being right here by a margin, partly because Curtis Silva voted, Ken Puyo voted 15 points lower than him and it looks like

that it's really coming together behind DIDANDREW CUOMO. One thing that continues to be looked at is will Mamdani end up clearing 50 percent? Will he now be able to say that he's going to get a majority

where the rest of the votes are coming from? One thing Mamdani, besides the fact that he won the race, if he wants to crack 50, the thing that's going to go his way is that he's going to get a disproportionately small number of votes compared to

the other boroughs, just in terms of the proportion of votes he's getting. And that's the best part of the city right now, and where the fewest votes are coming from is Staten Island.

And it's obvious that Mamdani is the worst part of the city. So Farmani has a chance to get over 50%. We'll see. Can he win that double digit over Cuomo?

We'll see. But again, you think about it. This is the Democratic nominee in one of the strongest democracies in the United States.

And in the general election, you're probably looking at, you know, a ten-point win. So there's a lot of people in the city who were willing to vote for Mamdani, even though they were with the Democrats.

And even the Democrats usually win New York City elections, you know,

 By an open length. So there's stability here. I think that's also worth noting. In the OUREXIT poll, we asked people if it was just a two-man race, Cuomo versus Mamdani,

and it was basically dead in the OUREXIT poll there as well. So if you're on the CUOMO campaign, you're looking at this stability. One thing you're probably thinking,

Jeez, hey, Eric, you got Eric Adams, the incumbent mayor, to step aside and leave Cuomo. What if they actually get out of this race and get a complete stability? This thing could actually,

be a real nail-biter right now. And just one final point as we see the final results come in with the cumulative, it's probably going to be a lot

that this is the end of this Cuomo family. You know it goes into the background. It goes back decades, I should say, with his father. His father ran for mayor of New York City nearly 50 years ago,

losing the Democratic primary, continuing his candidacy as a third-party candidate in the general election, just like Ed Koch 50 to 41%. And.Now we can make a major prediction in the New York City mayoral race. CNN projects a Democratic Socialist. So Democratic candidate Ron Mamdani will be elected the next mayor of New York.

Former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo has been defeated by Republican Curtis Mamdani to secure a historic victory in the city.

At 34, he will be the city's youngest mayor in a century. He will also be the first Muslim mayor of New York City.

Once again, CNN is predicting that Zoran Mamdani will be the next mayor of New York, New York, and CNN's Abby Phillips Mamdani is a big winner in Brooklyn, New York.

Saron Mamdani, a candidate who was basically unknown in the city about a year ago, and now he's the mayor. We just heard the crowd behind us, screaming, shouting, clapping,

at the news that you just announced, on CNN. This room is really filling up with supporters. They are anxious, waiting, many nights have passed since hearing about a long journey.

These supporters who have stuck with Mamdani since the beginning despite the possibility of a candidacy, in these final days of the campaign, the race has become very negative. Many of his supporters believe that the attacks against him were Islamophobic, that they were, you heard it there, they are screaming that this news is spreading more. Supporters are happy tonight, as you can hear them on the news.

Five chances for the city to elect someone who, frankly, has never been elected before. Mamdani is both young. He is a Muslim,He's an immigrant, and he's someone who represents the fast food of the past. Jack, this crowd is really, really waiting to see the results after they come in. I know

that we're still looking at these numbers. He's so close to getting to 50 percent, and there are a lot of people in this room and in his campaign who don't want to see what that means

what it would have been like to use him, the minority of the city that Mamdani has won over, but if he's able to win the majority, he might have a chance to make the argument

that he has some kind of mandate in the city. I'm going to come to my colleague Gloria Parsley. Now here. She's been covering Mamdani for the last few months. And, you know

how you feel. Victory, for Mamdani supporters. Yes. This is a candidate who started out in the primary and was literally polling at 1 percent.

I was talking to someone earlier today who was talking about how hard it was for Zoran Mamdani to get press coverage to care about in the early days of the primary.

The underdog campaign, and he ran like an underdog. I think that's a really big lesson of this campaign. It doesn't matter what you think about the candidate's campaign

that has really picked up in the last few weeks as it often does. But, I mean, he was walking across Brooklyn Branch yesterday at sunrise, I'm sure that was it.

You. She was pumping her fist in the air. She's one of the elected officials in New York who stood with Mamdani even when he was being ridiculed as a communist in his own party, in the Democratic Party,

and as a shadow of Donald Trump, and that's what we've done a great deal of in the last few days. Support Andrew Cuomo.

He has been following in the footsteps of prominent Mamdani supporter Letitia James. He has promised to withhold funding for New York City.How big a factor has Donald Trump been? He's been a huge factor, both positive and negative. Okay. Donald Trump is weighing in on this race. We know from our reporting

that he's been talking about this race more than any other race in New Jersey and Virginia. Trump's threat to cut federal funding is something

that Zoran Mamdani and his team take very seriously. But you're sure he's heard that this is probably going to happen in the current city. Mayor Eric Adams hasn't done enough to respond to those threats,

and he says he will when he's elected. Okay. So, Jack, while we wait to hear what Mamdani says and he comes out in this room,

a very ardent supporter tonight, we'll just wait to hear what he says to New Yorkers, and what he says about the city moving out.

The very real threat from President Trump is that he will try to challenge Mamdani for the leadership of the city, which is even further in the realm of his efforts to defend New York City.

Jack. Interesting stuff. Abby, Philip and Gloria Pacino, thank you very much. And this is a historic night, not just for our own Mamdani, but for the Democratic Party, which has been so disillusioned since the 2024 election.

We have three big wins, which we will have in New York City. Independent Andrew Cuomo, who defeated the mayor in New Jersey, Congresswoman Mickey Sherrill, who defeated Republican Jackie Raleigh.

She will be the next governor of New Jersey, the first Democratic female governor of New Jersey. Defeating Spanberger, the current lieutenant governor. It was just a big night for Democrats,

who didn’t have much to smile about last year. Anderson Cooper is in New York, take him, Jack, Jack, thank you very much. You're with the team,

David Axelrod. What's the message in this race, the largest party for Democrats? The message should be to the president. I think, you know, it was interesting.

I spent a lot of time on CNN Pollster Day in the crosstab of this poll, and you could actually see a pattern of what's going to happen in this poll today, because, you know,

The overwhelming majority of people said, the economy and the cost of living were their main concern, the conditions today, were their concern. 28%, favorable, rating.

And they gave the president's economic, policies a really negative rating that was contributing to that. And those were the people who were ticking time bombs for the Republicans.

So if you're in the White House tonight and you're watching this. No, I mean, not only is this race in other states in New York,What are you starting to build now? Well, I'll tell you one thing I will do, I won't do, as the president does over and over again and tell people that this has been a historically successful year

and the economy is strong and it's the envy of the world. And if you're sitting at home trying to pay your bills and buy your kids' rent and buy your own rent. How are they going to do that,

you don't want to hear that. And if he doesn't believe that, talk to Joe Biden, because that's what he did. And that was a terrible, disastrous strategy for him.

So I think, you know, look, you had good candidates, you know, these gubernatorial and the latest candidates, they had biographies and they made great candidates.

I thought Spanberger gave a great speech tonight. It was really the opposite of the politics that people have become so disillusioned with. But, at the end of the day,

you know, when you have the conditions that we have in this country and you're the current president and you run everything and you make a point of running everything,

then you're going to be called to vote. Scott, do you think the White House should listen? I mean, look, these are blue states, and the Democrats should have won,

so I'm not going to override that. Virginia, in particular, has never been very good. Don't think that a lot of people's confidence in the Republican campaign was misplaced. Jersey is New Jersey,

so I would hesitate to override that. I don't think the concerns that you've raised are a legitimate political strategy. Concerns. You know, I think

that I just want to offer my condolences to Chuck Schumer. Honestly, what I'm reading here in New York City is that AOC is going to be the next senator from New York.

If she can pull off her last run and the 2028 Democratic primary and the 2026 Democratic primary for their senators, I see an energy behind the Democratic Party.

The energy among Virginia Democrats is looking to the violent candidate for attorney general who says he wants to kill Republicans in their children.What are you starting to build now? Well, I'll tell you one thing I will do, I won't do, as the president does over and over again and tell people that this has been a historically successful year

and the economy is strong and it's the envy of the world. And if you're sitting at home trying to pay your bills and buy your kids' rent and buy your own rent. How are they going to do that,

you don't want to hear that. And if he doesn't believe that, talk to Joe Biden, because that's what he did. And that was a terrible, disastrous strategy for him.

So I think, you know, look, you had good candidates, you know, these gubernatorial and the latest candidates, they had biographies and they made great candidates.

I thought Spanberger gave a great speech tonight. It was really the opposite of the politics that people have become so disillusioned with. But, at the end of the day,

you know, when you have the conditions that we have in this country and you're the current president and you run everything and you make a point of running everything,

then you're going to be called to vote. Scott, do you think the White House should listen? I mean, look, these are blue states, and the Democrats should have won,

so I'm not going to override that. Virginia, in particular, has never been very good. Don't think that a lot of people's confidence in the Republican campaign was misplaced. Jersey is New Jersey,

The energy among Virginia Democrats is looking to the violent candidate for attorney general who says he wants to kill Republicans in their children.If you think you're getting rid of Grand Plattner in Maine now, think again. This is a terrible night for the national Democratic image given what's going on inside his party.]

Mom Donnie is a bona fide socialist. He's not who people say he is, he's who he says he is. The Democratic Party. That's who he is.

What's up there? Who's the leader now? Can someone tell me he's a life raft for Republicans who have to go on TV and I don't know, this. You own him? No you this.

DG ISPR: India is preparing for another offshore false flag operation

DG ISPR: India is preparing for another offshore false flag operation

DG ISPR: India is preparing for another offshore false flag operation India has prepared another false flag operation outside the sea. India will respond to the threat more severely than before. India should do whatever it wants to do on land, sea and in the air.

DG ISPR Lieutenant General Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry's conversation with Senior Sahib said that Pakistan has its own border. The spokesperson of the Pakistani army said that Pakistan did not allow the US to attack Afghanistan from its soil.

Such news is propaganda of Afghanistan. Pakistan's reaction to the recent Pak-Afghan tension was timely and fast. Pakistan's response yielded the desired results.

The one-point agenda in Istanbul was to quickly eliminate terrorism from Afghanistan. Afghanistan's conditions do not make sense. Ending terrorism is important.

The Aburi government of Afghanistan has received the support of the people and political parties. The decision of the army will be made by the government and parliament.

 The army does not want to get involved in politics. The army should be kept away from politics. Amendment of the constitution is the job of the government and the parliament.

DG ISPR Lt Gen Ahmed Sharif stole from senior journalists. Political criminals and terrorist groups in KP, including you, are an obstacle to stopping crime and smuggling in the country.

128 of the terrorists killed in operations against Fitna Faraj this year were Afghans.

Pakistan did not allow attacks from its soil in Afghanistan. The one-point agenda is that Afghan soil should not be used against us. Afghanistan's conditions are not important. Ending terrorism is important.

Political crimes, Peshawar terrorist groups, Malik Chaudhry's briefing to senior journalists made it clear that the army does not want to get involved in politics. The army should be kept away from politics.

He said that the government has the authority to decide on governor's rule in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Sohail Afridi is the elected chief minister. He also said that he does not want to say anything more about him.

That we have no personal likes or dislikes. No person or political party is above the state. The spokesperson of the Pakistan Army also made it clear that Pakistan did not allow the US to attack Afghanistan from its soil.

Such news is propaganda of Afghanistan. Afghan and Indian media are spreading such news together. Regarding stopping terrorism in Pakistan from Afghan soil, DG ISPR said that Afghanistan's conditions do not make sense.

Ending terrorism is important. There will never be talks with terrorists. Pakistan has a one-point agenda and that is that Afghan soil should not be used against Pakistan.

Lieutenant General Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry yesterday declared the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) as a branch of the Afghan Taliban and said that the TTP had pledged allegiance to the emir of the Afghan Taliban.

He also said that drug smugglers in Afghanistan are interfering in Afghan politics and drugs are being smuggled into Pakistan from Afghanistan on a large scale.

The Pakistan Army spokesperson also made it clear that anyone who is feeling love for Afghanistan should go there. 

Another attempt by terrorists to infiltrate Pakistan from Afghanistan was foiled. Three Khawarij were killed in two separate operations in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.

Two of them were Afghans. According to the ISPR, security forces also carried out an operation in a tank in North Waziristan on intelligence inputs.

 2025 Operation Breaks Back Against Terrorists According to the Pakistan Army, 62,113 intelligence-based operations were conducted this year,

In which a total of 167 terrorist incidents occurred. The important thing is that 128 Afghans are also among the active terrorists.

During the recent period, 206 Afghan Taliban and 112 Fitna-ul-Khawarij were also killed. During the ongoing operations on intelligence, 77 terrorists were killed in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.

584 army personnel and 356 civilians were also martyred in terrorist operations.

36 Army and FC personnel were martyred and 138 were injured in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. The number of martyred civilians is 12.

 Seattle Seahawks vs Washington Commanders | Epic Showdown & Game Highlights!

Seattle Seahawks vs Washington Commanders  Epic Showdown & Game Offensive coordinator. Switch back, Zach Mike: It was first and 25. Now it's third and 3. Bobby Wagner is looking, Seattle is looking at the uniform. He's used to wearing it.

Chris: 1-1-1 matchup. He didn't get it. Darnold comes back in, it was pick number three. You can see it easily. His feet will mirror each of those picks.

Mike: Washington fans want a challenge. It looked like there was a third down. No challenge from the Commanders. And a run from Kenneth Walker on the edge.

It's third and 5. Washington is pressing. Darnold gets rid of it quickly, just pitch and catch. Good read from Darnold. Mike: Good opening drive for Seattle.

Despite the 15-yard penalty, it's an 11-yard game. Injuries have decided the receiver and the defensive front. Settle for first and goal 3. Another guard from there. He's the guy

who gets out of safety on some of those goal line and short line runs. So, not just in the passing game but in that run blocking game as well.

Mike: A drive that took a quarter. And Darnold rolling, throwing, Mike: And the Seahawks paid for a long drive with a TD fourth the rookie.

Chris: Torrey Horton, what's the use of that. Come right out and Coopercup -- it's a pretty Cooper Cup-like route to the outside.

 This is a defense that believes in giving you nothing. They don't want any free passes, no free looks, and let the quarterback rush do the work. Mike: Jeremy McNichols is on third and fourth

Against him, Settle DeCris told you a lot of changes there. Julian Love is out with the reserve. Midfield. With the Minnesota Vikings. A nice punt by Traceway backed up the set.

The Seahawks start at their own 10. Kenneth Walkris the back, a former Michigan State Spartan, fourth team in four years. Minnesota was tough to finish last season and playoff game.

But the first 16 games, great. A big reason Mike and the Fueled Nayek were pretty comfortable. It was man coverage. He got the pick, whoever he wanted to pick on it. For a team that is thin at wide receiver,

Seeing Torrey Horton make that first catch, this is big: Tie my. TONIGHT.Klint Kubiak, 38-year-old, settles in his first year as a quarterback. You see Torrey Horton go in and work hard against

who is out of it. Chris: We appreciate it. Bill is easy to remember. We have a T-shirt with Bill on it. Mike: Oh, well, I got nothing. Fake it, Daniels is going to Towson,

just three yards. And that's a small part of the story of this offense. Mike: The last minute of that opening quarter. Right back to them, the opposite direction.

You see they had success in those spots last year, and it's reversed this year. And they're coming out to go to Fort.

CROSKEY-MERRITT as the back. And a fake there. JAYDEN DANIELS can, you can't defend like that. You can't pile all your defense inside

And you can't stop the tush push and everything because of it. Mike: Lost a couple of those fourth down opportunities Mike: Protecting your guy, that's for sure. He's standing in the lineup.

That's his third 15-yard penalty in his first 17 minutes. He was given Witherspoon with corner pressure and you were able to go up, shake hands. Been celebrating on the sideline ever since,

Absolutely and deservedly. And that foot down. Jared Reed, the backup DB had a play and you came back with a stop. Here's your chance for Washington. Mike: Second and 10, left side,

Smith-Njgba, catch. The training staff is watching him. Darnell Savage, his replacement. And the Seahawks are on a roll, 16 plays, nine first downs. They're no longer under center, no longer a running threat.

Mike: Quan Martin questioned a couple. 8. Washington rushing five, Darnold taking a shot downfield. Horton has to open up again for a touchdown!

The rookie has two in the first two quarters! Chris: Wow! No. 2 is a trend now. Torrey Horton, what did he release against Mike Sinistral? Watch it.

This game is set and the match is over. It's over. There's no way they're going to stop a game that's going to score 20 or fewer points in seven of the last seven. No one's going to go back.

100 yards, 16 games in a row. We haven't seen a 100-yard rusher against this Seattle defense. Washington loves trying to get Mike McDonald.

We're seeing more big guys, defensive linemen, playing as part of short-area coverage on kicks. And here comes the yellow biggun, recovering from O'Toole.

So, from 26, right back in Seattle. Darnold was nine of nine on the night, one more shot, and it was caught by Arroyo for a touchdown! The rookie out of Miami.

Wow! Chris: You want to know how he's doing? He's forcing teams to pure tackle and running man-to-man coverage to stop the Throne.

You can't stop the run, you'll get quick releases, and you'll get touchdowns. You think that was a good one, that was his second pick.

 And wow, they made a statement here tonight. Third and 5, Washington desperately needs one here. Suitable for Sam too. Chris: Maybe he's just a good player.

Mike: That could be true. Chris: Yeah. Mike: That could be true. We saw it in his college days in Southern California. Three picks total. From the 13, first down. You get cut a few times

And suddenly you want things to be exactly your way. And he's taken that leadership position with his physicality. Now we have something.

Mike: No gain 5. Washington needs the game. Chris: Do you know how hard it is to have those monsters chasing you inside the pocket and keeping your eyes down the field and trying and making plays?

NOW. Mike: FIRST DOWN here, play 13 of 13 for a 60-yard score. Chris: Play the fake, make the adjustment, and you'll go for the touchdown. That's all. Under center, they can't stop running,

so they all start jumping into the run game. And then you get behind them and you can see Trey Amos looks like he was hurt on that play. Maybe

he's ready to wrestle right now. WOW.WHAT a performance from Seattle so far. Mike: Jayden Daniels and Washington are looking for anything.

From 31, Daniels got you a double team there. For all you guys who like offensive line play, I'm putting on a clinic tonight. Mike: Stop patting yourself on the back.

Here's a first-rounder in there who's really carrying some weight, the playoffs, the Beijing and all that stuff to figure out. The weather's getting colder. Time to turn our attention.

Washington is just trying to get itself some positive momentum. Fake DeBo Samuels there, stop the play, and force a throw. He was playing so well that he couldn't get him out of the lineup.

Mike: That brings up third-and-5. Five in the pattern for Daniels, and all that, but he's in his center, a pocket passer. He wants to throw it out of the pocket.

But when he gets out, he's so magical. Mike: Play clock running down, first and goal 1 out of time. Daniels headed for the end zone, on time. Daniels headed for the end zone, touchdown, Washington.

Ten plays, 69 yards. Chris: The offense only spreads when he's in the theme. It wasn't part of any pass rush. But why isn't Sam Darnold in the theme VP conversation? It didn't hurt those numbers.

68. Right before the break against Vegas. And that Jacksonville one-point 11th-year kicker, Myers. Tried to add 41 yards to finish off five possessions,

Five scores for Seattle in the half. Last time out, right? Couple of sacks in that game. Mike: Against Kansas City. A guy who came back in 2018 for Seattle six throws.

A lot of veterans on that Washington team. Guys, they're the eighth, ninth, once you see him, get away from him

And come right back. I think that's what you thought on defense at the time. >> Mike: Third and 1 and a throw.

 Halftime, we saw linebacker Ernest Jones, the head of the defense, get hurt. He's been eliminated with a knee injury.

He went to the medical tent. Then when he came out, he looked pretty disappointed and frustrated. He sat on the bench with a towel over his face, but he was unhurt,

All your victims are hurting. This league. Ask this guy. Chris: I think we've also got to see -- they won a lot of close games last year,

Okay? With him out of the lineup, they're not winning those close defenses, this is the guy who ends up getting the award. Mike: Made the PRO Bowl last year.

Seven years among the Pro Bowlers for a guy who was the Jets' sixth pick back in 2015. In college, we didn't always see him play outside. But then we saw what happened in his career.

Same thing with J.S.N. right now. Mike: No Marshawn Lattimore loaded, and the Senristal comes in with the third and fifth picks in his first two years out of Michigan.

Chris: Well, Sam Darnold had his first ugly game, and the safety, again, was almost perfect. Darnold had time to go through his progression.

ACROSSAFETIES So, it's either Jayden Daniels running or, less so, throwing fast to get back into it. Mike: Running around here and there and 7. Daniels gets out of a single hit,

keeps moving forward, and occasionally stops a couple yards shy of doing so. I'll tell you, ZACH ERTZ, though, besides Travis Kelce, he's clearly the one who's finished,

He's one of the top guys on the list. An onside kick. Let's do it. Mike: We saw an onside kick today though. Chris: He did great. Mike: It was a Bengals game.

Here's Daniels rolling, getting away, taking off. He'll take advantage of about six. Seattle scored 24 in the second quarter, three touchdowns, and a 4:18 stretch to blow that cam open.

Sam Darnold just opened the night up 17 of 20 for 17.18. Nobody opens the field downfield, pitched to Charbonnet. There's a flag down, game over, fourth down --

Excuse me, first down. Mike: SAINRISTIL just had an interception at the end of the last drive. Chris: At least he's fighting, right? Let's see what happens.

You go there. But a diving pitch. Linebacker, which then forces you into man coverage on the back end. And they're shining like they're going to play man.

But the secondary -- well, maybe they are. Mike: Third and 5, DarnoldDarnold admits that he's coming back to the right with his man. Mike: Sixth time over 100, tying a Seattle record.

On the left. JALEN SUNDELL, his former teammate at North Dakota State. But Anthony Bradford had him at right guard tonight.

And he was a, in a way, it proved to be a moment. Mike: And Barner tells him about the touchdown.

So, A.J. Barner goes to TechMichigan, Ind., before he gets a rushing touchdown. Meyers added the extra point. All Seattle.

It's been done. Chris: Part of the scary thing about the Commanders is they're the oldest team in the league. Mike: Yeah, it's about 9.9 years old, which is a huge year

When you're doing that player. And there's no way Tralon Burks is going to be able to block him. Mike: And Chris, you started talking about that

Before he was even a quarterback, when you start putting all the numbers in. And he can basically play any position. When you get someone like that, he can play in the slot.

He can play man coverage on the end zone. He can BLITZ.GET-Open Guys in the league CAN. He studies the route before he goes to the defender. Moves inside to break outside,

Outside to break inside. And J.S.N. is very open about the fact that he's learned a lot since Cooper Cope came in. Explaining that when he was younger

he used to try so hard to make up plays to live up to his first success, selfishly. He also said, yeah, he's having fun tonight. He also said that he's improved over the years

that his strength has increased. Player who was benched because they had too many corners. Josh Jobe was one of the starters tonight. You see

what Emanuri did tonight. They didn't even love how you went from pitching a perfect game against the Texans to the one I saw against Tampa?

And he was embarrassed. Like, he was still embarrassed, Samuel, Zach Ertz, Dan Quinn, the coach. You know, it's like 7:30 left. You're trying to get down the field in the fourth quarter,

get a drive, build some momentum. The 49ers are winning, as they came in the East, the NFC West over the NFCEAST,

beating the GIANTERAMMETCONHEIS. Next up are the key moments and interesting games after the game against Arizona but that was the headline. Mike McDonald is thinking

what we're all thinking, thinking about J. Dean Daniels. I'm sorry to see the patter. Also congrats on the M Sam Darnold and Marcus Mariota trade. One of the big headlines
