    mamdani: (laughs) im high right now😂

    Why is this question important? They asked so many unnecessary questions in this debate and barely let the candidates finish a sentence throughout the entire thing.

    CURTIS SLIWA IS A GREAT REPRESENTATION OF TWO SIDES COMING TOGETHER! HE HAS THE BEST OF THE LIBERAL IDEOLOGY WITH THE BEST OF THE CONSERVATIVE IDEOLOGY. CURTIS IS NOT JUST A REPRESENTATION OF WHAT OUR NYC VALUES REPRESENT BUT A REPRESENTATION OF WHAT WE NEED TO REMEMBER AS AMERICANS: THAT WE ARE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER! THE ONLY ONES WHO WANT TO SEE US DIVIDED ARE OUR ENEMIES BECAUSE IT MAKES US WEAKER!! TOGETHER WE STAND, DIVIDED WE FALL! GOD BLESS THE UNITED STATES!!

    One is telling the truth. The other two are probably lying about where they get their medical supply from 😅

  5. @bubsimodragon on October 19, 2025 at 5:45 pm

    Who would vote for Cuomo at this point?

  6. @Lords1997 on October 19, 2025 at 5:46 pm

    Right on! Can’t wait to vote for Zohran again.

  7. @dragonwithagirltattoo598 on October 19, 2025 at 5:47 pm

    I have a feeling that Cuomo prefers being blackout drunk.

  8. @peterjean8808 on October 19, 2025 at 5:48 pm

    All of them have failed in the ground. They can’t serve any post of the government offices. Only private offices only…. Period…

    He tells the truth and he’s brown. You can see why he’s a maga nightmare

    Which one of you has been so high you thought you were on a lizard bus with Stalin, Mao, & Bolsheviks heading to a leaders convention?

  12. @janesantoni9773 on October 19, 2025 at 5:49 pm

    Cuomo lies. He is a known party guy!

  13. @davidbanner2826 on October 19, 2025 at 5:49 pm

    What a stupid stupid stupid question!!! wtf cares if anybody bought it or smoked or it or smokes it

  14. @ryguy6969 on October 19, 2025 at 5:50 pm

    Mamdani cappin bro was eating delta 8 gummies

  15. @Tonymontanayayo on October 19, 2025 at 5:53 pm

    When Sliwa started saying his part I had “Many Men” by 50 Cent playing in my head

  16. @mancavestudios8955 on October 19, 2025 at 5:55 pm

    Sliwa is the GOAT for unexpected backstory

  17. @itsjustme4562 on October 19, 2025 at 5:57 pm

    Why is Dummumy always smiling. So creepy.

  18. @TrialByDance on October 19, 2025 at 5:59 pm

    Mamdani: I like (policy)
    Cuomo: I don’t like (policy)
    Sliwa: I’m literally just a genuine dude

  19. @pleasantness1704 on October 19, 2025 at 6:02 pm

    We all knew Zohran was chill like that.
    And Cuomo? Well, we all knew he’d hit us with some sort of "I did not inhale" ahh answer.

  20. @IsabellaFlames2023 on October 19, 2025 at 6:02 pm

    @curtissliwa ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

  21. @tamra8485 on October 19, 2025 at 6:04 pm

    I have no problem with some people smoking weed. Sit around, eat brownies,watch Netflix have a good time with your friends in your twenties, but just like alcohol, some people get addicted and smoke every day. That’s where it’s problematic. Sure it feels good, and a lot of sad folks are self medicating, but It affects your brain, your judgement, your lungs and we really don’t know the long term effects (We know alcohol abuse causes significant cognitive decline). I don’t particularly want our leaders, who have to stay sharp and focused for a highly demanding and stressful job to be smoking weed. There’s something about his sh*t eating grin that makes me think he likes it too much.

  22. @traplover6357 on October 19, 2025 at 6:05 pm

    Mamdani: Just ate a brownie
    Cuomo: boring no
    Sliwa: acting like 25 cent

  23. @ebooklibrary27 on October 19, 2025 at 6:05 pm

    first guys honesty was refreshing whether you indulge or not

  24. @JuliusMaxo on October 19, 2025 at 6:06 pm

    Mamdani fumeta

  25. @jamspov8556 on October 19, 2025 at 6:07 pm

    One told the truth, the next lied, and the last one is crazy 😂

  26. @tacosarelife2106 on October 19, 2025 at 6:07 pm

    sliwa just wants to be like Diddy and say “I got shot five times!” 😂

  27. @stevenvargo2440 on October 19, 2025 at 6:08 pm

    Mamdani is an anti-semitic communist with the grin of a jackass! But hey, if NY wants to hire one of those, they deserve whatever comes afterwards. He’s a loser! He’ll drive out all the businesses and money from the city, and it will look like a 3rd world a year from now. Book it!

  28. @keithstack6321 on October 19, 2025 at 6:08 pm

    3rd guy might have good ideas but his answer was straight out of politics from 30 years ago. I don’t necessarily agree with Mamdani but man it would be nice to see a new generation of leaders.

  29. @lovemyHDbikes on October 19, 2025 at 6:09 pm

    SLIWA!

  30. @mutalix on October 19, 2025 at 6:12 pm

    That paused yet confident smile lol, mamdani your gunna make it through all that way, NYers yall r lucky.

  31. @34-DTAJizargo74 on October 19, 2025 at 6:14 pm

    It’s not a political question

  32. @AndrewB4 on October 19, 2025 at 6:14 pm

    Good litmus test for who you can trust. I’m not a huge fan of Mamdani but I give him credit for honesty with something like this. Cuomo is really becoming less likable as Silwa seems to be more so despite his quirky nature.

  33. @TruthOverFact on October 19, 2025 at 6:15 pm

    He’s just way too smily… u can’t trust any of these goons

  34. @Gianchimusic on October 19, 2025 at 6:15 pm

    Or another way of asking the question is “are you chill or nah?” 😂

  35. @NativeSignal on October 19, 2025 at 6:16 pm

    Mamdani left “this morning” off the end of that sentence. 😂

  36. @johnlafleur9251 on October 19, 2025 at 6:16 pm

    By the look on his face in that clip, I think Mamdani sparked one right before going on stage.
    (Not that there’s anything wrong with that.)
    That said, if NYC Voters are foolish enough to elect a Communist, Antisemitic Muslim as their mayor, then they _truly_ deserve to go down the drain.

  37. @khunter7 on October 19, 2025 at 6:18 pm

    They best no elect the communist

  38. @Mattasinme on October 19, 2025 at 6:19 pm

    Cuomo admitting to not contributing to New Yorks economy…

  39. @dieselpower7797 on October 19, 2025 at 6:20 pm

    New Yorkers Will NEVER EVER LEARN!!

  40. @bobbylight1606 on October 19, 2025 at 6:21 pm

    The one that doesn’t smoke is the one you shouldn’t trust

  41. @Madden415 on October 19, 2025 at 6:22 pm

    I like this guy, relatable . Not like these old farts

  42. @NYCxSergio on October 19, 2025 at 6:23 pm

    Moderator: "hit the blinker, you each have 10 seconds" 😂

  43. @advance4066 on October 19, 2025 at 6:26 pm

    Such an important question to learn who will effectively lead americas largest city

  44. @cbwavy on October 19, 2025 at 6:26 pm

    Mamdani looking like he got busted lol

  45. @jamestelford1694 on October 19, 2025 at 6:29 pm

    Cuomo would never in a million years disclose that he smoked weed even if he had. Hell hes probably done crack all these rich oldies are on something

  46. @ilpatriotplugs8682 on October 19, 2025 at 6:30 pm

    Mamdami is cringe.

  47. @rustycockering9925 on October 19, 2025 at 6:31 pm

    "Mr. Mamdani, is Jesus Christ the son of God?"
    Mr Mamdani: "Ah…..no."

  48. @stevenjenkins3882 on October 19, 2025 at 6:32 pm

    You get what you voted 🗳 for

  49. @stdanisan on October 19, 2025 at 6:36 pm

    Unfortunately, the citizens of great city of New York City will vote for the wrong person,then, complain,and whine,🤣🤣😂😂🥱🥱🤫🤫

  50. @anneflynn9614 on October 19, 2025 at 6:36 pm

    Mamdani doesn’t seem to realize that purchasing pot isn’t something to be proud of.
