Transcripts - Forever Dreaming

[ambient music]

[audience applauding]

Here in New York,

there's a big election tomorrow.

The city will be choosing

a new mayor that many...

[audience cheering]

...that many are calling

"Not Bill de Blasio."

[audience laughs]

New York will also be electing

a new city council,

and there's some shocking news

out of that race.

Manhattan candidate

Zack Weiner--

-Weiner?

-"Winer."

-Weiner.

-[chanting] Weiner!

The whole incident

was so humiliating...

I feel kind of, you know, bad

for him that that's published.

[all laughing]

[man]

What the hell am I looking at?

[man] Weiner!

-Who is Zack Weiner?

-Zack Weiner.

-Zack Weiner.

-Zack Weiner.

-His name is Zack Weiner.

-Weiner.

-Weiner.

-Zack Weiner.

Zack Weiner!

[all chanting]

Weiner! Weiner! Weiner!

Weiner! Weiner! Weiner!

[The Place to Be" by Ernest

Ernie & The Sincerities]

Whoo

Yeah

I welcome you,

my little ingenue

To a place

where you can start anew

Where the people

are comin' and goin'

'Cause everywhere you go

is open

Said the city's

the place to be

It's got everything,

everything

And the city's

the place to be, yeah

[Zack whistling]

This is how we do it

Okay, so this is how we do it.

The official due dates

for the next election

have not been set yet,

but petitions are typically due

sometime in mid-April.

Yep.

Then at that point,

we register the committee

with the Campaign Finance Board.

-[Zack grunts]

-So...

-You-- Ooh.

-[cat coughs]

Does-- does he do that a lot?

-Yeah. Yeah.

-[cat coughs]

-That's grotesque.

-I think he's chilling.

-He's all right.

-A hairball?

-Yep. Yep.

-[cat coughs]

[grunts] Can't even--

You can throw him out.

This is really

a beautiful neighborhood.

It has unique architecture.

Everyone's one of a kind.

It's my home.

I've been here

every year of my life

except when I went to college,

and I didn't like college,

and that's why I dropped out

and came right back here.

I think it brings out the good

in you, the Upper West Side.

And there's a-- a kindness.

There's an atmosphere.

There's a warmth.

And it's a beautiful place,

and-- and I-- I just wanna

see it get more beautiful,

and I want this-- the people

to get more beautiful.

Character-wise.

I'm not-- You know.

So what we have here

are the documents

to sign into the Campaign

Finance Board for Zack.

He's gonna sign it

for the camera.

-It's a little ceremony.

-Yeah.

I also have a gift here for you.

Oh, what's this?

[Joe] To make it

a little more official.

That's a quill. Oh, I have to

put the ink in right now?

Wow, Joe. This is very stately.

I kind of wish you had done

the ink ahead of time.

I think that's

the most sturdy one.

-Here you go.

-Take that.

[Joe] Zack and I met

on the set of Pledge,

which is a tremendously

successful horror film

that he wrote and acted in,

and that I acted in as well.

[man] Every year,

we pick a class president.

Uh, who would like to volunteer?

I could do it. I mean,

I was very active

in high school politics.

Leading into the pandemic,

I'd been laid off

from my sales job.

So Zack came over one night

and was trying to cheer me up

and he was talking about how--

um, how cool local government is

and how much can actually be

accomplished at a local level.

-[Sarah] Weiner.

-[Zack] Yeah.

[Sarah] Just make sure

you tell everyone

you're not related

to the other Weiner.

[Zack laughs]

Oh, yeah, we've had to--

we've had to clarify that

with a lot of people.

Thank you, yeah.

No relation whatsoever.

Our strategy is straightforward.

You know,

we're an underdog campaign,

and we don't have

the money for ads

that the other campaigns do.

So instead, what we're

doing is we're saying

we have these ideas,

and instead of trying to explain

or argue for these ideas,

we're gonna prove them

by doing it in real life

and making it happen.

And, you know, this is one of

the most engaged neighborhoods

when it comes to politics

in all of New York City,

so we're very optimistic that

they're gonna pay attention,

they're gonna notice,

and they're gonna buy in

and come over to my side.

-Yeah. All right.

-An awful high five.

-Let's do another.

-Let's do it again.

[Joe] Did you get that?

Maybe pull and turn it.

-Got it.

-[Joe] Circle turn it.

-It's lit.

-[Joe] Okay.

Thank you.

[Cherie] I can't believe

that Daniel is filming.

It makes me

never be able to relax.

[Joe] Yeah, yeah,

he lives with his mom.

You know, some people would

say that she lives with him.

Depends on how you look at it.

A normal person's is like this.

And this is mine.

-And this is Zachary's.

-Ah, don't do that.

[Cherie] Sorry, sorry. Sorry!

[Zack]

You know, people have

talked about me living at

my mother's house and

if that's a deterrent,

and I used to be

insecure about that.

Sometimes I'd bring dates home,

I'd ask my mother

to pretend to be

the Russian housekeeper.

I don't want the box in there.

But I've grown to understand

that many cultures,

that the kids will live--

Into their 30s and 40s,

they'll live at home.

And I don't think that's

any reason to disqualify me,

and I think people

are coming around to that.

I shaved.

You're not looking close enough.

You did. Oh, you look so great.

Except for the mustache.

-Where do you want me to sit?

-[Sarah] Right there.

-I can't be in the light.

-[Sarah] It's fine, just sit.

I'm not gonna be in the light.

All right, how much longer

is this gonna be?

-I'd like a pillow.

-[Sarah] It's weird for you

-to be holding a pillow.

-I know, but I feel more secure.

Cherie Vogelstein.

Um, I'm his mom.

I don't-- You know what, Daniel?

I really--

there's no reason in the world

that I should be on this.

His name is Zachary.

Um, Eric calls him Zack.

I think that says a lot.

Anyway, um,

you can scratch that.

-[Daniel]

-[chuckles] His dad.

His dad who bought

this apartment, actually.

[Daniel]

Oh, he's passed away.

No, God forbid, no.

My dad's alive.

[laughing]

She says that, I don't know why.

He's very alive.

He lives ten blocks away.

[Daniel]

He-- he wrote

a-- a television show.

[Daniel]

This show.

Gullah Gullah Island,

Baby-- Little Einsteins,

uh, you name it.

And then the famous one, Dora.

Dora the Explorer.

[Joe] I think Dora the Explorer

cast a wide shadow

over most of Zack's life.

And I think that, you know,

this campaign has been the start

of Zack stepping out

from the shadow of Dora.

[Joe] We're up. We're on board.

What is it?

Oh, it's Gotham Gazette?

Yep, Gotham Gazette.

Look what they got

in print right here.

-Wow, "Zack Weiner."

-[Joe] It's real now, man.

[Zack] Mine's

alphabetically last.

[Joe] Yeah, yeah.

Is that-- Do you think on

the ballot, is that how it is?

I think-- You know,

I'm gonna put a good word in.

Maybe we'll get it reversed.

-Reversed--

-Put a word with who?

[driving music]

[Dan] You need

an election lawyer, right,

I think, because it's easy to

screw up a little minor thing.

There are risks involved in--

in not having it done right.

And if you're a lawyer,

you can kind of figure it out,

but there are parts

that are confusing

and things you're

not gonna understand

if you haven't done it before.

Would you be able to hear it?

Let me see.

I'm Dan Bright,

and I'm a lawyer.

I was Maya Wiley's

election lawyer

uh, in the race for mayor,

and I was, uh,

Jamaal Bowman's election lawyer

when he ran for Congress

and beat a 32-year incumbent.

And, uh, yeah,

so you're seeing some new stuff.

-[phone ringing]

-Oh, shit.

But at a certain point,

like, when they start

insulting, um, people.

My last conversation with them

involved me telling

one of the lawyers

at this firm to f*ck herself

and then slamming

the phone down.

It's a-- it's a language.

You don't even know your

own case, you f*cking idiot.

Just die. I laughed

when I found out he died.

Go f*ck yourself.

Next time I get a call

from her like that,

the next thing you're gonna know

is you're gonna find

her f*cking dead body

in her office

with her brain splattered.

'Cause I'm gonna go in there,

I'm gonna pick up

a f*cking chair,

and I'm gonna bash

her f*cking head open.

'Cause that's what I'm gonna--

I'm not gonna come and warn you.

You're being warned now.

And if she asks me

to return another call for her,

she's f*cking dead.

I'm gonna hang up the phone,

I'm gonna walk into her office,

I'm gonna pick the chair up,

I'm gonna f*cking bash her--

I'll go to jail.

You know, it'll be worth it.

But I'm not normally like that.

[Zack] It's actually remarkably

cheap to run a campaign.

We've had to spend $5,500.

We got a lawyer,

we got all the paperwork,

and it was 50 bucks

to get 41,000 emails

of every Democratic voter

in the neighborhood.

They pretend like

it's expensive,

but it's democratized,

it's not expensive,

and people spend money

on consultants.

I don't need a consultant.

Joe's my consultant,

I'm his consultant.

We run on Playbook.

Okay. Let me get this open.

That's how you're gonna do it?

What?

-It's in seven minutes.

-Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I'm all set. I shaved.

[Joe] Your hair looks awful.

What? No, it looks lush.

-It's like a rat's nest.

-It looks lush.

-It doesn't look lush.

-I like to do it standing up.

I feel like important things

aren't said sitting.

It makes you seem taller, too,

'cause it's kind of

angled up at you.

-It's an illusion.

-It's an illusion.

Well, it's not an illusion.

I'm taller than

almost every woman I meet.

Joe and I,

we have a great dynamic,

but when it comes

to taking orders,

I do prefer for a woman,

generally, to be directing me.

You want people to feel like

you're on an even playing field.

You're looking down at them,

first of all.

Like, this is such

an unappealing angle.

It's gonna make you

look disgusting.

-Gentle person.

-All right, good call.

-All right. Good luck.

-Oh, thank you.

All right, let's do it.

Let's do it.

I am a TikToker.

Uh, that's-- that's basically

my career in a nutshell.

[upbeat music]

I think Zack is

really trying to do things

to make the community

a better place,

trying to do things

to serve the community.

Are you actually

gonna wear that mask?

-I've come to reclaim the mask.

-All right, stop filming.

-We gotta go.

-Do you want people to think--

You live in America.

We gotta reclaim this thing.

I disagree.

It just gives off

a Republican vibe. Am I wrong?

Doesn't the American flag

give off a Republican vibe?

-[Cherie] Definitely.

-Thank you.

[Cherie] Not just Republican.

It's like the Confederate flag.

It feels like

a Confederate flag.

[Cherie]

Thank you. I agree.

I mean, yeah.

Yeah, I mean, I don't

completely agree, but mostly.

[Joe] All right,

11 minutes left.

[fast-paced music]

Hi, thank you.

-[Joe] Hey.

-Hi.

Wanted to pick up

some petition prints.

You wanna have a seat

in the conference room, guys?

[Zack] This is it.

-Right here, the Weiner camp.

-[Zack] Hi, that's me.

-The whole campaign is here.

-[Joe] His whole staff. [laughs]

-You're paying by check?

-[Joe] Yes, we are, yeah.

[Alan] I've been doing this

50 years, since 1970.

-[Zack] Wow!

-Printing petitions.

I mean,

printing campaign materials.

-[Zack] That's fantastic.

-About-- since 1970.

I'm retiring this year.

This is my last shot.

[Joe] Oh, my God, it's, like--

this is like a legendary place.

[Alan] Everybody here.

You know, we've done

almost every president.

-[Zack] Wow.

-Mayors, we did Bloomberg.

-Koch?

-[Alan] And Koch, I did.

-Mayor Lindsay, John Lindsay.

-You did John Lindsay?

I'm dying of kidney disease.

I need a kidney.

So if you know of anybody

who wants to--

Thank you.

Let me get rid of them.

[Zack] You coming back? Okay.

Oh, I don't know.

Like, power move.

I mean, yeah,

that's like the power of God.

[Alan] I saw you--

Now I know where I saw you.

I saw you, I think,

without the mask, on the Zoom

when you did

the West Side Dem Zoom.

-[Zack] Yeah, I did.

-That's my club.

-[Zack] Oh, that's great.

-[Joe] Are you a West Side Dem?

[Zack] You're a West Side Dem.

No way.

[Joe] Are you local to

-the Upper West Side?

-I am.

What do you think the chances

are that Zack beats Gallagher?

-That Zack wins?

-[Joe] Yeah.

-Zero to 10%.

-[Zack] Zero to ten.

So you're saying

there's a chance.

You remember that

from Dumb and Dumber?

People will tell you zero.

I say there's always 10% chance.

Thank you so much, Alan.

It was fantastic to meet you.

-And I'll email you soon.

-[Alan] We'll talk again.

Thank you for agreeing

to look for a kidney for me.

[Zack] Totally, of course.

-I only have one, so.

-Yeah, you...

Alan is a major

power broker, frankly.

So getting him a kidney would be

getting me a lot of things.

-[indistinct]

-I will be there.

I'm gonna get up early.

[overlapping chatter]

[Aaron] My name is Aaron. I--

-[Daniel]

-Uh...

I don't reveal my last name.

My job on the campaign, um,

like, I'm the security

of the campaign,

but I just kind of do

whatever is necessary.

So you can consider me

the fixer.

Um, whatever it is

that needs to get done,

I just kind of get it done.

[Joe] All right, everybody,

if we can gather around.

Uh, I'd like to

introduce you to Dan Bright.

-He's our lawyer.

-Hey, how you doing?

He's gonna walk us through

the petitioning process.

Uh, Dan,

we have your whiteboard here.

Whiteboard.

Oh, wait, the petition.

There's two aspects

to legal practice,

or two emotions

you normally feel,

or [indistinct] states of mind.

One is extreme boredom,

and the other is intense,

unbearable pressure.

You know,

I always try to talk people

out of going to law school.

[James] Hi, I'm James Watson,

and I am the finance director.

I just woke up one day,

and I was like,

"I got to change my life."

So I went online, and I applied

for every single candidate

in the district.

They all didn't hit me back up.

You know, I applied to Zack,

and he's the only one

that replied.

He didn't even interview me.

Like, he was just like,

"Boom, you're hired."

I was like, "Okay." [laughs]

[Dan] The usual rule of thumb

that everybody follows

is that you, uh, need to get

at least three times the number

of required signatures,

because a lot of the people

will turn out

not to actually be

registered voters,

or not living in the district,

and there's people

sitting in their cars.

Almost all of them

live in the district.

They're vulnerable.

[Dan] Well, it's not

that they're vulnerable.

-You're not threatening them.

-[Aaron] They're in their cars.

They're more comfortable,

that's right.

Well, no,

"vulnerable" is a weird word.

-I would say they're--

-They're not vulnerable.

-They're easy pickings.

-[Zack] Easy pickings.

Well, even now,

it's been really fast.

Before we continue, we met a

really excellent man yesterday.

His name's Alan,

and he has kidney disease.

Unfortunately, he's very sick.

So what we're gonna wanna do

is we're gonna wanna

ally our petition-seeking

with us get--

trying to get him a kidney.

And I'm not gonna give the

kidney, but what I'm thinking

is that we can print out

some flyers to give them--

[James] I feel like we're

getting overhead of ourselves

because we're

trying to get people

to put their signature

on a ballot.

We're not trying to get people

to put their signature

on a kidney.

[Zack] Uh, do you think

we could expand the petition

so that we could add

on the kidney clause--

-[Dan] No.

-No?

That someone's interested.

Just as an interest?

Uh, they're not your traditional

political, uh,

operatives or candidates.

They didn't come in

saying the usual things

from people who run for office

and the same talking points.

It's all sort of

generic bullshit.

Because in politics,

most people are

completely full of shit

and don't really mean what

they say or what they promise.

And, uh,

when you think about Zack

as a political candidate,

it-- it just does come across

a little nerdy, I guess.

But he's articulate,

he's intelligent.

He's kind of likable, too.

Let's get the Weiner up.

All right!

[all] Let's get the Weiner up!

[cheering]

If I win the election, then

the first thing I wanna do is

I wanna rent

a couple ice cream trucks

with the budget that I'll get.

And I wanna have those

ice cream trucks driving around

giving out free ice cream

to the neighborhood.

It's not just free ice cream,

it's also free community.

Because when you have

ice cream trucks,

you'll probably notice

there's crowds that gather.

And it's the kind of thing

we wanna bring back, you know?

We've been in--

we're in quarantine,

but by the time I would win,

uh, things should be better,

and-- and there should be

an opportunity for us

to get used to being...

tight again.

[fast-paced music]

Hi, my name's Zack Weiner.

I'm running for City Council

District 6 at Upper West Side.

And I'm announcing

my candidacy today.

This is my team.

Guys, um...



[overlapping chatter]

You guys are

registered Democrats?

[Sarah] Do you live

on the Upper West Side?

[Zack] 40,000 people.

I thought

it was like 100 people!

[Joe] I was wondering

if you could sign.

Um, my name's Zack Weiner,

I'm running for--

[Sarah] Yeah, so just sign here.

[Joe] And then just

a signature right here.

Zack-- Zack Weiner.

[dog barking]

[Sarah] Thank you so much.

[Cherie laughs] Oh, God.

-Vote for Zack Weiner!

-Zack Weiner.

And we're asking everybody

if they-- they have

a kidney list connection

or can pull a string.



[Cherie] Oh, shit, this one

didn't write her address.

Should I just make up

her address?

[Joe] That's fraud.

[Zack] Part of my childhood was,

uh, my parents getting divorced.

I feel like

the neighborhood's been divorced

and they've d-- divided.

And, you know, kids say, uh,

"Oh, I feel responsible for

my parents getting divorced."

I feel responsible for them

almost staying together

because I was

the mastermind of that.

And now here, I'm gonna bring

the neighborhood together

in much the same way,

except even more successfully

because they did,

in the end, divorce.

Oh, I know!

Sign your mother's name.

Or your father's name.

Who do you like better,

your mother or your father?

All right.

-Uh, ready for what?

-Registered Democrat.

-No.

-m*therf*cker.

[Joe] Hi, excuse me, sir.

Sir.

Sir.

-You believe in Jesus?

-Who doesn't?

Does he believe in Jesus?

I don't know

what he believes in.

Well, he had to believe

in Jesus. Then I'll sign.

I think he does believe

in Jesus, actually.

[James] That is the fattest dog

I have ever seen in my life.

You can tell

he doesn't eat at Whole Foods.

[Joe] Excuse me, ma'am.

-[woman] Here, come on.

-[Joe] Oh, you were--

-[woman] Zack like working out?

-[Joe] Sure.

Yeah, I see

you're a guitar player, bro,

you know, so this--

off the record, like, you good?

Yeah, I play and record.

No, no, you do, like, you know,

because I know some people,

like, musicians and stuff,

they use stuff

to get into the zone.

-You know what I'm saying?

-What do you mean?

They use, like,

substances and stuff.

-Yeah?

-Like, you good on that?

-Yeah. Yeah, why, you sell weed?

-Yeah, what you need, man?

No, I got a dealer already, man.

-Okay, all right.

-Thank you, though.

Yeah, zackweiner.com.

My name is Harriet Hines.

I'm running for City Council.

It's great to meet

a fellow candidate

that I'd love to hear your ideas

for this neighborhood.

Maybe I could steal some

for mine.

You're trying to find someone

to kidney donor as well?

-Yeah, yeah.

-Yo, the line is crazy.

How you doing, fellow?

[James] Are you a registered

Democrat in the city?

Excuse me,

are you a registered Democrat?

Oh, thank you.

-[Joe] Hello.

-[woman] Hi.

-Nice to meet you, I'm Zachary.

-[Joe] Okay, no problem.

[James] Are you a registered

Democrat, ma'am?

-[woman]

-[James] Okay, I got you.

[woman]

-[James] Right on, sister.

-[woman] Good luck to you.

-[James] Thank you.

-[car horn honking]

[Zack] All right,

let's get out of here.

Come on,

let's go to Duane Reade.

[hypnotic music]

Well, here, the Primary

is basically like

the general election

because, like, 90% of

the district is Democratic.

So whoever wins the Primary

becomes the Democratic candidate

and is pretty much guaranteed

to win the election.

I need you

to fix something here.

-[Joe] Okay.

-Okay.

I want you-- this date here

where you scribbled over it.

Okay, just a cross, just a line.

[Dan] Yeah, cross it out,

and then we'll

write [indistinct],

like three, 22,

and-- and make that line

a little longer

so it's below the three.

And then just-- and then

put your initials next to it.

[Zack] Yeah,

I always write kind of big.

[Dan] Well, I mean,

do you have, like, a--

like, a motor skill issue?

[Zack]

Yeah, well, the thing was,

my mom didn't realize

I needed glasses until late.

[Dan] So you're gonna go down

to 32 Broadway, seventh floor.

You're gonna file

this and this.

[Zack] Awesome.

You know, now you go out there

and get people

to know who you are,

try to get votes.

People are open

to new candidates now.

Uh, there have been

a lot of surprises

here the last few years

in terms of people

coming out of nowhere,

you know, getting elected.

And, uh, there is change

in the air, you know.

[car horn honking]

I feel as though

this was a culmination

of many weeks of hard work.

This was the close

of one chapter,

which was about

getting out on the pavement,

hitting the streets,

and getting signatures.

-Now the campaign starts.

-[Zack] Yeah.

We're very confident.

We really feel good.

You know, I got upstairs.

You couldn't see it.

They wouldn't let you in,

which is classic

establishment tactics.

But we collected

close to 1,000 signatures,

and we talked to many more.

And we're very confident,

based on these conversations,

that we're gonna do very well.

I'm the bull in this race,

and they just don't know it yet.

They're in for a shock.

They're about to feel my horns.

Hi, I'm Gale Brewer,

and I'm here because

the last year has been

very hard on New York,

and these times call

for thoughtful, bold

leadership,

and I'm running for

the City Council in District 6.

[man] Time to sail with Gale.

Time to sail with Gale.

Time to sail with Gale.

We need Gale's voice

on the City Council.

They need to vote

Gale Brewer number one.

[Sarah] Gale, Gale, Gale.

She is old reliable.

She's been doing this

for, like, 100 years.

[Joe] She's sort of a political,

uh, landmark.

If you drive in

through any tunnel

or bridge in New York City,

you'll see a sign

with Bill de Blasio's name

and Gale Brewer's name.

But because she's term-limited

as borough president,

she's coming back

and running as city council.

Her campaign slogan

is literally, "Again!"

Exclamation point.

Again, what? Again, a pandemic?

Gale is a very close--

I must tell you, she--

uh, she was at my wedding,

so we're very close.

So people ask me all the time,

"Am I running against Gale?"

And I said,

"No, I'm not that foolish.

I would never do such a thing."

[James] She's the Queen Bee.

She runs Upper West Side.

She's like frickin', uh,

what's that girl

from Mean Girls?

-[Daniel] Regina George.

-Regina George.

That's who she's like.

She got all her little minions

running around.

You know,

she got this city on lock.

And with a name

like Gale Brewer,

you gotta wonder, like...

what is she brewing?

[upbeat music]

Hello and welcome to

Represent NYC:

Election Coverage.

Today we're pleased

to bring you a debate

in the Democratic Primary

for City Council District 6.

I'll soon introduce you

to six Democrats

competing in the primary.

David Gold, Maria Danzilo,

Sara Lind, Jeffrey Omura,

Zack Weiner, and Gale Brewer.

[Gale] As borough president

for the last eight years,

I think we can see

what the opportunities there

have given me to help

with this god-awful pandemic

and coming out of it.

Unfortunately,

people are not talking about

what you're concerned about,

and when they do,

they make it very vague.

All of you, the voters,

you know what you want.

You know your priorities,

and I speak to you,

and I'm acting on it now.

Don't donate to me,

go to zackweiner.com,

and please invest in

the pilot programs

that we've started.

And I know the specific names

of the specific players

involved all throughout

the neighborhood,

and that's where my focus is.

And I think

that's where a council person

can make the biggest impact.

And you can do a lot that way.

Uh, a lot less by gabbing.

Too much gabbing,

not enough doing.

[laughs] Fantastic.

[Zack]

Politicians and people in power,

everything they say is always,

"We need to do this,

we have to do--"

-Who are you talking to?

-Yeah.

You're the one who does it.

What do you mean?

You're already--

We elected. Now you go do it.

Homelessness is in large part

a mental illness crisis,

it's a drug addiction crisis,

and we can afford

to have people on the street

that are helping

with public safety

and making sure

people don't die.

We are taking

direct action immediately

through a number of programs

to enhance

the neighborhood around us.

Um, right now, live.

Uh, so Alan Handell,

he's a main--

he's a pillar of the community,

he's been working for

the Democratic Party 50 years.

So we think, I mean,

if we can get him a kidney,

you know, what better evidence

of our direct action

working, so.

I'd rather ten soldiers

in the right place

than 10,000 in the wrong.

And, uh, I think

that really applies here,

and especially

in local politics here.

You can pass any law you want,

but if you're not interfacing

with the different

shareholders,

it-- it won't materialize.

This is gonna be a good time.

We're gonna have

a really good race,

and, uh, I'm honored

to be a part of it.

I'd like to thank my guest,

Zack Weiner,

who's about to win the election.

And thank you for watching

Represent NYC:

Election Coverage.

See you next time.

-[computer beeps]

-All right.

[all cheering]

[overlapping shouting]

[Sarah] That was good.

You nailed it.

-I am a shark among minnows.

-Yes!

To commemorate

Black Solidarity Day,

Brooklyn residents

are holding a prayer vigil

at the sacred

African burial ground.

They want to highlight

the importance

of preserving the grounds.

In the past, the

city considered

developing the area

for affordable housing,

activists processed

it for weeks

to have the site recognized

as a sacred space.

[Harriet]

Those ancestors inside

the dirt,

those ancestors that could

not fight for themselves,

we're here fighting for them.

We're here fighting for them.

Follow me.

Follow me.

Follow me.

African Graves Matter.

African Graves Matter.

[all] African Graves Matter.

[Harriet] African Graves Matter.

[all] African Graves Matter.

[Harriet]

I say "Black," you say "love."

-Black.

-[all] Love.

-[Harriet] Black.

-[all] Love.

Yeah, District 40 is

far away from District 6,

but that doesn't mean

that someone there

wouldn't leave with a positive

impression of Zack Weiner.

Hi, my name is Zack Weiner,

and I'm here representing

the Upper West Side.

African Graves Matter fight

for a memorial at

this sacred burial ground

is being heard

throughout the nation.

The fact is that

the enslaved ancestors

b-- buried in this soil

right below us

were brought to this country

to build and support

a capitalist society,

a society that they

nor their descendants

ever got their fair share of.

I wanna thank Harriet Hines

for giving me

the opportunity to speak here,

and I commend you, Harriet,

and all of you for

the incredible achievement

that is creating

this sacred memorial.

Uh, may the monument we build

be as beautiful as

the cause it represents.

-Yes, thank you.

-Thank you so much.

-Thank you.

-Thank you.

[indistinct] candidate,

the next District 6

City Councilman

Zack Weiner!

Thank you. Thank you very much.

This is a big day

for the campaign.

We recently got on the ballot.

[audience cheering]

Um, we are here

because we're trying to

take direct action.

You know, all politics is local,

and-- and really,

what's more local

than-- uh, than a mainstay of

the community's kidney?

'Cause, uh,

this guy Alan Handell,

he really needs a kidney,

and he sort of brings up--

Whatever you guys wanna hear,

if I know the song,

I'll sing it for you.

[man 1]

No, definitely not that.

Lemonade, lemonade,

lemonade Lemonade, lemonade

Am I right?

[Joe] Free lemonade,

right over here.

If you're gonna take

some lemonade and a sticker,

we need you to try

to find a kidney.

We got

some good leads on the kidney.

Obviously,

we didn't come through with one,

but, um,

we're still working on it.

[man 2] What's your platform?

[man 3]

Yeah, YouTube. Right, yeah.

What's your platform?

Is the question too long?

No, I'm happy to tell you.

We're trying to tackle

empty storefronts.

There's like 70

empty storefronts on Broadway.

I'm part of the campaign,

I'm Sarah.

-[Zack] Sarah.

-I'll talk to you.

Yeah, f*ck that guy.

I wanna talk about

-personal issues.

-[Sarah] Personal stuff.

-Changing things in my life.

-Yeah, we like changing things.

Getting rid of my fourth wife.

Your fourth?

What about the third

and the second and the first?

-They're dead.

-Oh, they died?

-Yeah.

-All of them?

Yeah, man,

it worked out pretty well.

[Eric scatting]

Aaron, cut--

cut it-- cut it out.

Cut it out, Aaron. Geez Louise.

-[woman] Sorry, sorry.

-No, he's--

he's really losing it.

After the rally,

there was a deep concern

about the turnout

and our standing in the race.

So Sarah,

using some of her TikTok savvy,

said how you try to get

other influencers involved

in your posts and it boosts it.

So maybe we can do something

with the same, you know,

idea in politics.

Get other politicians

on a panel with me...

raise all ships.

[dramatic music]

[Sarah]

Just, like, focus, like,

this is your time to shine.

My concern is my mother

has been really high strung

and really running around.

[Sarah] Yeah.

And I'm nervous about that

because it's not the best look.

I had hoped

she would not be here at all.

Mom, don't touch any--

-It's not someone who's a guest.

-[Zack] It is. Don't--

-No, it isn't.

-Chill out, relax.

-So what are you running for?

-For mayor.

For mayor? And how's that going?

Not bad.

Do you know what S-- Simlish is?

So Simlish is a language

spoken by the Sims.

-Do you know what The Sims is?

-No.

It's a video game.

[Elliot] Say De Blasio!

De Blasio!

And the home

Of the brave

[cheering and applause]

[woman]

-No, we're not doing questions.

-[woman] Oh, okay.

My first question

for you guys is, um,

"More and more people

have joined the conversation

around fair policing.

What, in your opinion,

do we need to keep in mind

as we work together?"

This question

is about fair treatment.

Um, and I think

fair treatment under the law

almost presupposes--

[DJ Elf 7]

Wait, before you jump--

can I just jump in

just for a second?

-[Ira] Yeah.

-I'm so sorry.

-Can I get that mic?

-It's mine.

-That's your mic.

-[indistinct] Yeah.

Yo, check it out right here.

This is your boy DJ Elf 7.

I got something to say.

m*therf*ckers wanna talk about

seeing if they can fix welfare,

they never f*cking experienced

welfare a day in their lives

how the f*ck

are they gonna fix it?

Because they heard about it

from some m*therf*cker?

You ever work a job?

Get the f*ck out of here.

The panel was really

our first introduction

to the maniacs of local politics

that populate, uh, the city.

What have they actually done

to help your cause?

All John's gotta do

is come here and talk to me,

but he won't.

Bye, John. Bye, John.

Run away, bro, run away.

[announcer] DJ Elf 7.

I'll tell you that right now,

I represent the streets.

I'm a true street activist.

Props out to my people

right there.

Not sure how many people

is on right now,

but you know

we're going national.

Sarah right here, right, yeah?

You-- what do you do?

You-- you're, um--

-I'm a TikTok star.

-You're a TikTok star, right?

-Yeah?

-[man] A star.

Right now

there's people in Congress,

89 years old, barely

can turn on their computer,

and they're about to pass

legislation on you.

How do you feel about that?

We need your help.

We need you to listen to us.

[Zack] You know what I mean?

We need you

to f*cking listen to us.

And we're f*cking here,

and I-- f*cking goddammit,

you know what I mean?

-We're-- right? Yeah.

-That's good.

I don't wanna laugh--

I don't give a f*ck.

I don't give a f*ck.

[cheering]

I don't give a f*ck.

I'm staying here until I'm done.

There's been hate going on

in this country and bigotry,

racism, uh,

all across the board,

and everyone seems to ignore it.

When you pass an exam,

first of all,

you have to pass

a polygraph test.

An important

but simple question,

"Are you r*cist?"

-Well, I don't know if it's--

-That's an interesting idea.

A polygraph-- you can't trust

a polygraph test.

[Zack]

You can trust a polygraph.

[Vitaly] Unless you try to do

something better for people.

[Sarah] But also,

a lot of r*cist people

don't think that they're r*cist.

[Elliot] I mean,

Zack's mom, unfortunately,

at some point, you can see,

just went and sat

next to DJ Elf 7's, uh, setup,

and she, you know,

hit a wire or something,

but DJ Elf 7

just snapped at her.

He gets up,

and goes right into my face.

"Did you-- what are you doing?

I put my camera--"

The part that I wanna convey

is how no one helped me.

No one interceded in any way,

not verbally, nothing!

We've organized this panel today

because we wanted to have

a conversation

that was productive,

so please come to my website,

contact me, I love to talk,

I love to talk anytime,

and, uh, I look forward,

it's an honor.

Thank you.

-[gong clangs]

-[Vitaly] There you go.

[Zack] Why in the world

would you do that?

[laughter]

[Sarah] There's still

a lot of tension in the room.

-Resetting the chakras.

-Why would you ever do that?

[musette music]

So, with 70% of the vote,

we've got Gale Brewer.

What does that mean,

with seven--

with-- she got 70%.

-70% of the vote, yep.

-Okay, she got 70.

-Then Sarah Lind, 14%.

-[man] Mm-hmm.

Well, that's higher

than I would think.

[Joe]

David Gold came in at seven.

-[Zack] Seven?

-[Joe] Jeffrey O'Mura with 5%.

Am I in this poll,

or was I on the poll?

Sorry, two-- 1% for Zack Weiner.

-1%.

-[James] Yeah.

[Joe] Uh, this is from

the Three Parks

Endorsement City Council.

-[Aaron] Who gives a shit?

-[Sarah] Who is being polled?

-Don't care about that.

-[Sarah] Let me see.

I don't think

you should care about it.

[Sarah] 92 people.

This is not accurate at all.

-[James] Oh, right.

-How do you mean by that?

[Joe] So, uh, "no endorsement"

got 3% on this poll.

[Zack] What do you mean--

what do you mean by that?

People who abstained from--

from picking a candidate.

It means that they would rather

no one be in government

than Zack be in government.

-[man] Who are these people?

-Great question.

This is their group

of supporters.

[Aaron] Then why do you care?

They are Democrats in

the district, mostly elderly.

It does seem suspicious

that she would get that much.

-[Joe] Mostly elderly.

-[Zack] 1%, I'll admit

that I didn't expect

a huge score.

But 1%, or I guess

it's one vote even.

-[Joe] One-- one-- one vote.

-It's just one vote.

Maybe we could find-- do we know

the name of that person?

So, as you know,

we're struggling

to break through

marketing-wise,

but it turns out

it's very affordable

to put ads on the kiosks

around this neighborhood.

-Very affordable.

-[Sarah] Hmm.

So I'm thinking,

"Let's take

a little campaign money,

throw it at the ads, right?

Throw it on the kiosk,"

bad news.

You can't do political ads

on the kiosks.

We had a thought.

We're gonna advertise

for the movie Pledge,

which I'm in.

-[Aaron] I love it.

-Available on Hulu.

-Available on Hulu.

-[Aaron] Do it.

-In the kiosks.

-I like that idea.

-And then I'll wear my suit...

-[James] I love it.

...in a political fashion.

[Cherie] What about

the idea from the--

You're not supposed

to be here today.

-[James] She lives here?

-It's not--

She does not live here.

I-- I don't live here,

but I am here.

So why can't I just be

a part of things?

[Zack] I'm sorry,

what did you wanna say?

Um, we have an agreement that

whenever somebody that needs to

respect him is here,

we pretend it's his apartment.

If he needs that to, uh,

get his team, you know,

behind him...

I'm all for his constant

and habitual lies.

I need you to go

get coffee, um, creamer.

All right, head out.

Head on out, Mom.

Go back to your home.

All right,

we're gonna table this.

Second ruse, which I think

we're gonna have more

productive suggestions for.

Why don't you introduce

this one about Obocho?

-Obocho Peters.

-Is that his name?

-Obocho Peters, yeah.

-Obocho.

-Obocho Peters.

-[Aaron] Who is that?

You might remember Devon

from the other night.

[Sarah] I do remember Devon.

He was great.

So Devon Nash introduced us

to a child

that he used

to teach math class to.

My name is Obocho Peters.

11-year-old entrepreneur.

After realizing the challenges

that his mother was facing

trying to make ends meet,

Obocho Peters launched

an online thrift shop.

[anchor] Where he accepts

donated kids' clothing

and shoes

and then sells them

never for more than ten bucks.

Obocho's single mom

and young sister

are his biggest supporters.

Obocho means "I am love"

and that's exactly

what my son is.

[Zack] It's pretty remarkable.

It might be a national story.

He lost his store.

He's gonna get it in Manhattan.

Busy district. We have a store.

Everything's set up.

So that's a pretty big deal

that our campaign got.

I think we've got to set it up.

We've got to paint

the walls nice.

Make it an experience for

the person who's coming,

you know?

How am I gonna get

a violinist, Mom?

I don't know how you get that.

You go online.

-Get out of here. All right.

-Go on the dark web

-like you usually do.

-[Zack] Mom...

[Joe] Yeah, that's nice.

Yeah. Uh, maybe give, um...

[James] Maybe do one of these.

[Joe] Um,

that was pretty up your ass.

[James] Yeah, just not like...

[Zack]

I don't think I look ugly.

[Elliot] You look so charming.

[Joe]

Well, let's make a still image.

[Cherie]

Why can't you openly admit that

it's Zachary the candidate?

[Elliot] Because that's illegal.

We're trying to

find a way around it.

I know, but seeing that

doesn't make me think,

"Oh, that guy, yeah,

I should vote for him."

It's mostly, though, about

most people aren't thinking

about city council at all.

So if they see

his name everywhere,

then when they go to the ballot,

they'll remember the name.

-They'll be like, "Yeah, yeah."

-They'll remember the name

that's attached

with that weirdo idiot.

["The Doubletake" by

Ernest Ernie & The Sincerities]

[indistinct] place in the world.

Yeah. Oh, there I am.

[Joe] Oh, how about that?

There I am.

[Cherie] Oh, very good.

Wow, can you believe it?

The flowers are blooming,

we'll be looking for fun

Victory Day.

This is the day

I broke the system.

We have a month now.

Every three minutes, 12 screens

over by Lincoln Center

all the way to 96th Street.

Oh, my God. It really is alive.

[Joe] Hey, how you doing?

Vote Zack Weiner

for District 6 City Council.

[Aaron] Zack Weiner,

District 6 City Council.

Thank you very much.

Happy going.

We're having

a discussion about just...

There are a lot of empty

storefronts.

-District 6 City Council--

-[woman] No, sorry.

Zack Weiner, what's up?

[Sarah] Zack Weiner

is running for City Council.

Zack Weiner 2021!

Yo, you look like this guy.

If they would make

a movie about Zack Weiner,

you would play him.

City Councilman.

Upper West Side.

Beautiful!

Hey, here we go!

Big fan of the police,

District 6 City Council.

What time is it?

-[Joe] Vote time!

-[Aaron] Vote time!

We don't want your money,

we want your vote.

Zack Weiner,

District 6 City Council.

I see a pigeon.

I'm like, "What the f*ck?"

I want to watch you get

down on the floor

I gotta see you do it

[Jerry] So it's important

that everyone get out

and tell all their neighbors

and all your neighbors,

uh, everyone you know,

to vote for Gale Brewer.

That's the way

these things work.

That's the way-- that's the way

campaigns succeed.

That's right.

It's all the question of

how many people you talk to.

So with-- with good luck

and with enough work,

-we'll elect Gale.

-[crowd cheering]

[woman] [indistinct]

[woman chanting]

She's number one.

[crowd chanting]

She's number one.

She's number one.

She's number one.

[Gale] You're number one.

Every single person here

is number one.

And I just

can't thank you enough.

[Zack]

Harder, harder. More muscle.

I'm telling you, it's closed.

Oh, my God. Thank you.

-Come on! Hi!

-[Sasha] Hi!

How are you?

[Zack] Oh, nice to meet you.

-Hey.

-[Sasha] Good to meet you.

Great job, nice to meet you.

-[Zack] Awesome. Look at this.

-[Sasha] Yes.

Basically the problem

landlords are running into

is that

if they lower their rent,

uh, the banks can foreclose

on the building...

-[woman] Right.

-[Zack] Because it's baked into

how much the bank thinks

the building is worth.

So they're left with

these empty stores for years.

Pop-Up's-- gets around that.

I was-- I used to be

in that store,

but I had to downsize

to here because of COVID.

[Zack]

Yeah, the less foot traffic?

-Yes.

-[Sasha] Right.

So, it's right on--

it's off Broad--

it's, like,

between Broadway and West End,

so it's a really prime location.

-[Sasha] Okay.

-[Zack] We're gonna try to

make it a really big event

and get as many people

as possible.

-This is perfect.

-[Zack] Okay, great.

It looks like a family area.

My name is Obocho Peters.

I'm a 12-year-old CEO,

and I sell affordable

clothes and shoes

from ages newborns

to 12 years old

to help families

save money on fashion

and spend it

on what they need it most.

Excellent. Exactly.

I couldn't have put it

better myself.

In fact, I didn't.

I'm part of a wave of change

in this neighborhood where

they're making it friendlier,

they're making it greener,

and I'm not directly

responsible,

but I certainly am influential,

and I'm certainly at least

indicative of the times.

You know,

we're all about direct action.

I probably would have put

this grass down if they hadn't.

Um, and we're

putting stores down.

We're filling Broadway.

-Jeff over phone] Jeff Coltin.

-[Zack] Hey, Jeff.

This is Zack Weiner.

I'm here with, uh,

my campaign manager, Joe.

-[Joe] How you doing, Jeff?

-[Jeff] Hey.

[Zack] Uh, yes.

[Joe] We got a big call

with this political reporter,

Jeff Coltin.

And Jeff, uh, I guess,

saw one of the LinkNYC ads

uh, when he was walking

down the street.

And he reached out,

he wants to speak to Zack.

Yeah, Jeff Coltin.

I'm a senior reporter

at City & State New York,

and I've been tracking

all the candidates,

and I'd known that

somebody named Zack Weiner

had been running for months.

And I saw a LinkNYC ad

with Zack's face,

and then below that, in, like,

really small type,

it was like,

"Watch this movie on Hulu."

It immediately, like,

raised my eyebrows,

because I know that

this guy named Zack Weiner

was running for City Council,

and yet this was an ad

that was for his movie.

It just seemed like he was, uh,

probably exploiting a loophole

in campaign advertising.

This is-- this is a film ad,

because, uh, I'm not--

as you might know, um,

political ads are,

of course, banned.

I called

the City Campaign Finance Board,

the regulatory body

for these campaigns,

because, I guess, to be clear,

campaign ads are not allowed

on these LinkNYC kiosks.

I reached out.

I told them the details.

I said, "Is this, you know,

is this legal?

Is this a loophole?

What's going on here?"

Never heard back.

What-- what is-- what could be

illegal about a loophole?

I don't think

it's an illegal loophole.

Um, if you wanted to do

a, um, uh,

a sit-down discussion,

you know, we're so close by,

uh, we're going to be

available next week.

[Jeff]

Right, because there's

so much more to the,

to the-- to the, you know,

to the story.

Lots-- lots going on here.

[clicks tongue]

I have no fear

of getting in trouble.

I know that what we did

is perfectly above board.

[slurping]

You get all the salt off.

And then you bite down on it.

Hi, my name is Obocho Peters,

I'm a 12-year-old CEO,

and today

I'm in the Upper West Side

selling my clothes and shoes

for families

all around the world.

Come through,

all the information's

gonna be in the caption.

There was a place,

and there was a time

Oh!

Back in my prime

Ooh. Yeah, those look good.

Beautiful day, all right?

["Can't Stay Falling In Love" by

Ernest Ernie & The Sincerities]

It was sublime

But everything changed,

baby, lately

[crowd cheering]

Sometimes it kind of

feels like you hate me

[chuckles] Come on in.

[Joe]

Welcome to Obocho's closet.

I've seen your TikToks.

-[Sarah] You have? Obocho!

-Yeah.

You just can't stay

falling in love

They say the fire

just keeps on burning

The more you grow...

This is the event, right

in here. This is our store.

Nice to meet you.

[woman] Is that with your

sandwiches?

It's all about confidence.

Love it. Pose.

I can watch the crowd, so they

don't do anything to you.

-That's perfect.

-I was John Gotti's bodyguard.

[Zack]

[crowd chanting]

Obocho, Obocho, Obocho!

Let's go to Obocho's Closet!

-And you're 12?

-Yes, I am.

[all laugh]

Good to meet you. Hi, everybody.

Yeah, I'm ready

for City Council.

I wanted to put this together.

We've got

some great clothes in here.

A new, limited edition--

first edition of these shirts.

They're just 20 bucks,

and a portion of that

will go to the soup kitchen.

And he wants to open

a store like you.

[Obocho] Thank you.

You've been an inspiration

to him, right?

I mean, I've always loved

helping people all my life.

Landlord gets to fill

their spaces.

And they don't have to worry

about a complicated lease.

[reporter] His name is Obocho,

which means, "I am love."

With the support

of his mom, Sasha,

he opened Obocho's Closet,

selling gently worn,

donated clothing

at a discounted price.

Now the Brooklyn entrepreneur

is taking his business

to new heights by teaming up

with Upper West Side

City Council Candidate,

Zack Weiner.

We have 66 vacancies

on Broadway,

on the Upper West Side.

We're just facing such a crisis

in my neighborhood

with empty storefronts,

and Obocho's a huge first step.

It's only gonna be

here for a few days.

If all goes well, he has a shot

of taking his shop to Broadway.

-[Sasha] Wow!

-Beautiful. Beautiful.

Oh, it's great.

It's really fantastic

what he's doing,

it's really a moving story.

It sets an example

for a lot of other young people

who have the same determination,

and passion,

and ambition

to go after their dreams.

All you ever hear about in the

news anymore is bad, bad, bad.

And this is the kind of stuff,

I think,

the world needs

to hear more about.

A lot of people are coming in.

We're getting a lot of sales.

And a lot of--

basically, a lot

of things going are--

are going very great.

And what do you guys

think about Zack Weiner?

If this is what

he was able to do,

-then he has my support.

-I would,

I think Zack Weiner's

got some good ideas.

No clue who that is.

[Daniel] The guy behind you.

[laughter]

[lively jazz music]

Okay, ready, now. Ready, man.

-You'd like to be on her, huh?

-She's Cheesecake.

-Cheesecake?

-Yeah.

-[kid] Cheesecake.

-[man] Cheesecake.

Oh, this is something

you can't get on Amazon,

and that's why retail's

gonna come back, and uh--

-[Cheesecake neighing]

-[woman] Oh, my God.

It sucked!

All right, get in a line.

Whoever wants to pet

the pony, we'll make a line,

and then we're going

to let Cheesecake go.

-[Cheesecake neighing]

-Ho, all right.

I want to ride on the pony.

[Zack]

We're not doing that right now.

Do you think it'd

be possible if I could, um,

ride on-- on--

on Cheesecake, and wave?

I don't think so.

[Zack] No?

Tell your parents

to vote for Zack Weiner.

If they don't,

you're not gonna see

any more ponies in New York.

[playing classical music]

[Zack]

I think Obocho's Closet, uh,

might have been our campaign's

greatest achievement.

Obocho's a phenomenal

entrepreneur.

The storefront

was a massive success,

and Eric Adams, our--

our presumptive mayor, uh,

re-posted about it.

-[Joe] Obocho.

-[all] One, two, three,

Team Obocho!

-[cheering] Yeah!

-[applause]

Come back, come back, come back!

Come back, come back, come back!

-Team Weiner!

-Team Weiner? Oh, yeah!

[all]

One, two, three, Team Weiner!

-Yeah!

-[all cheering]

["Don Giovanni Overture"

by WA Mozart plays]

[Joe whistles]



You gotta wake up.

[Zack] Why? What's up?

You gotta see this.

I'm in the nude.

Don't pull the blanket.

Come on, get up.

It's one o'clock.

I'm awake.

[sucks teeth] What's this?

[Zack groans]

-What?

-You tell me.

Whose computer is this?

What are you doing?

What are you doing?

What's going on?

-[muffled moaning over video]

-[woman] Oh! Oh my God.

-[muffled moaning]

-[woman] Very good, Weiner.

[sounds of slapping

and moaning on video]

[Joe] Did you know about this?

-[muffled moaning on video]

-[woman] Don't be a baby.

I mean, I-- I--

I recall faintly...

uh, the-- the recording.

[Joe] Why?

[Zack] I...

Well, this is--

this is my laptop.

No, that's my laptop.

-It's your laptop.

-It's my laptop, yeah.

In fact,

it's on anybody's laptop

who has a Twitter.

[muffled moaning on video]

[woman] Oh, it doesn't

hurt that bad.

-Don't be a baby.

-Oh.

-[woman] Don't be a baby.

- [Zack in video] Oh!

[both moaning in video]

Zack is on a table,

with, a gag ball

stuffed into his mouth.

Uh, he has a girl behind him

who hits him with a crop whip,

then pours hot wax on him,

then rips a few clothespins

off his nipples.

My favorite part is, like,

when Zack,

when she goes,

"Stay still, stay still!"

And he just did this.

I was very upset, obviously.

He had no skin tan, kind of--

he-- he looked pale.

[woman] Look at

Mr. Tough Guy over here.

[Zack growling on video]

[woman] I have to tie you up.

But this is not someone

you paid to do this, right?

This is just someone that--

-[Zack] No, just someone I--

-Someone you knew.

[Zack] I-- I knew.

-So, what's the point?

-[Zack] Who I reached out to.

Yeah, it's not-- this is just--

All right, well.

Uh...

-[woman over video] Sit still!

Don't move!

[Zack over video] More!

[muffled groaning on video]

-[woman] I'll tie you up.

-[Zack growls over video]

[woman] Do I have to tie you up?

[Zack growls over video]

[Zack] All right, you can--

you can bring the view back.

Do you think

that there is something to us

threatening a lawsuit

on the woman in the video?

[lawyer]

That'll just get more attention.

So you don't want to do that.

Those always backfire.

[Zack] If anything,

I don't think that she--

I'm just worried people aren't

gonna take him seriously with

the nipple clamps, and the ball

gag, and everything like that.

Uh...

No, you know,

people who vote

are generally not looking at

stuff on Twitter right now.

I mean, you know, unless

someone's calling you nonstop

or confronting you on the street

and asking for your comment,

don't say anything.

Don't do anything that's

going to draw attention to it.

Right now, the only thing

anyone's paying attention to,

and they're barely paying

attention to that,

is the mayor's race, no one's

really paying attention

to City Council, uh,

candidates and what

they're doing.

Uh-- uh, I've had

seven City Council candidates

I helped with

their election law,

and-- and you barely can find

a news story

-about any of them, ever.

-[Joe] Hmm.

So, it could be worse.

You always see people getting

arrested in southern states

for having sex

with horses, and stuff.

You know, my father,

he used to joke about

how when he was in the army

there was

some redneck from Texas

and he used to talk about

farm animals that he had f*cked.

And he even said

he f*cked a turkey.

How do you f*ck a turkey?

Sneak up behind 'em,

and you grab 'em

by the throat from behind.

And then you f*ck 'em.

I-- I-- why do I enjoy BDSM?

For me, personally,

I'm interested in one thing

and it's women

telling me, uh, what to do.

Um, and going to great lengths

to-- to do what they ask,

and-- and...

I think

it's just part and parcel

of my desire to be

a public servant in general.

Some hot--

hot stuff going on for him.

Pretty bad for--

pretty bad for us, probably.

[Maria over phone]

Joe, is that thing real?

Well, um, we're

definitely evaluating it, uh--

[Maria] It's none of my--

it's not my business.

I mean,

I have no judgment here.

-Whatever.

-Well, thank you.

But I just thought

I would let you know

that I couldn't care less,

I mean, that's your

private life

and people have

some freaking nerve

to try to exploit that.

But I think

it's gonna blow over.

[Zack] Yeah, thank you.

I'm really glad.

[Maria] Tomorrow might be

a little rough.

Tomorrow might be

a little rough.

You'll have a day--

a day or two

where it's rough, and then,

like, it's over.

Because this world is insane.

Did it seem like me?

Is it obvious that it's me?

[Maria] I can't look at it.

-Okay.

-[Maria] I'm sorry.

Well, when the, uh,

when the video hit,

we just-- we just assumed

it would be best

to get out

of the eye of the storm.

So we headed down to Miami,

and we spent a couple days,

and went out clubbing.

[dance music plays]

We went to the beach.

We spent a lot of time

strategizing

about what

our next move could be,

and how we'd bounce back.

And then

when we got back to New York,

we found that

nobody had tweeted about it

or was talking about it

or had even heard about him,

really, at all.

[sighs]

Wanna talk about it?

Could you stop filming?

Mom?

Mom, I asked you

to stay in your room.

[Cherie] Oh, f*ck off.

-Can you make me a sandwich?

-[Cherie] No.

All right.

-Tuna?

-Can I get a tuna sandwich?

[loud rustling]

It's okay to live

at home with your mom,

and it's okay

to have a sex tape.

But you can't do both.

[Sarah] How long

has it been released for?

It appears maybe a few days.

-[Joe] 30 hours. Yes.

-30 hours. 30 hours?

[Sarah] And It hasn't even made

any news on Twitter or anything?

[James] Sarah,

423 views and counting.

[Zack] Damn, we lost 423 votes.

[James] One quoted tweet,

one like.

[Joe and Sarah] Who quoted it?

-[James] Uh...

-Oh, her,

-the same girl who posted it.

-[James] Her.

"Smart Mistress."

Well, okay, I guess

that's technically a good thing.

It's just surprising.

I feel like we don't

have to do damage control.

Like, the video's out there,

and nobody's seen it.

James, the real damage

is far beyond this video, okay?

I have a lascivious sex tape

loose on the internet.

Debbie Walsh,

from the New York Post,

doesn't care to follow up.

Carol Tannenhauser,

from the West Side Rag,

doesn't care to follow up.

Sam Straus,

from West Side Spirit,

doesn't care to follow up.

No one cares to follow up.

PIX11, who--

-I was on PIX11. You were there.

-[James] Yeah, I was on it.

-You're on it, too.

-[James] Yeah.

[Sarah] A little bit

more than you, actually.

-[James] I was, right?

-He was in it a lot,

and I wasn't asked by them

a single question.

No one cares to inquire.

There's been no point

in this entire campaign

except that brief moment

with PIX11 where any institution

has really cared that

I existed or that I'm running.

Really, a year-plus of my life

has just been a case

of documenting failures

at getting votes,

and getting attention.

[James]

Did you want people to see this?

I don't want people to--

No, I don't want people

to see this in particular,

but if no one's looking at this,

there's no better proof that

no one's looking at anything.

If Gale Brewer had a sex tape,

everyone would be

-all over that.

-[James] I'll watch it.

-That's what I'm trying to say.

-Me first.

-That's what I'm saying is--

-[James] I'll watch it.

[Zack] That's what I'm saying,

is that

I've been at this--

this since before COVID.

A good campaign manager's job

is to see to it

that his candidate is reported

on, by any means necessary.

So, I created

an anonymous email account

called henryrobertson1

at ProtonMail,

and I populated the "sent" box

with every New York Post

reporter, every single one.

I'm gonna send it

to all of them.

My hope is they think

it's a colleague,

of some sort, of the mistress.

Hey.

Hey. Look at this.

Look at that. Read it.

[Jon Levin over phone] So,

I'm going to get right to this.

-Um.

-[Joe] Please do.

What the hell am I looking at

in that video?

-[Joe] Uh...

-[Jon] I just need to know

exactly what's going on,

and I need to reach out

to this woman.

-So--

-Sure. Why-- why don't--

Why don't we do this?

Why don't we-- I'm--

I'm five minutes out

from seeing Zack face-to-face.

Why don't we do

a three-way call, um,

and hop on, and then

we can bring him in the mix

and we can talk to you

a little bit more, and see

-what we can--

-Okay.

-Okay? So, I'll call you back...

-Yeah.

-in about five minutes?

-Five. Thank you.

Great. Thanks, Jon.

[call ending beep]

It being a dungeon,

does that-- does it--

that doesn't tie anything

legality-wise, right?

Like, dungeons themselves

are legal?

-[Zack] Dungeons are legal.

-They are?

-Yeah.

-You're certain of that?

I've been to many.

You-- you've been

to many dungeons?

-[Zack] Yeah.

-And they're legal?

I don't think

that confirms that it's legal.

I think that whether

or not it's legal--

[Zack] All right, all right.

Whatever.

Should I not say dungeon,

or should I say dungeon or not?

I'll say an establishment

that's perfectly legal.

[phone ringing]

-This is Jon.

-[Joe] John, I got Zack here.

-Hey, John.

-Hi. Will you--

Hold on-- Hold on a second.

-Hold on.

-Okay.

All right, there's

too many things happening.

So, you're-- you're a BDSM guy.

You like BDSM.

Are you a proud BDSM-er?

-I would say-- I'm--

-[Joe] Yes.

When I'm asked--

Well, okay, Joe.

All right, I would say

when I-- when--

when I'm on discussion, yes.

[Jon] This was emailed

to much of the New York Post

on Wednesday...

Geez.

...um, this video.

Um, and I actually

didn't look into it,

because I assumed

someone else would.

Uh, do you know who emailed it

to the New York Post

on Wednesday?

Uh, we've id-- I mean, I don't--

I don't know about

any emails at--

[Jon] It was a Proton

email address.

I know the Twitter.

I've seen the Twitter account.

-So that's--

-[Jon] Henry Robertson.

Is that a name you know?

I don't know a Henry--

I'm not-- It's not--

No, I don't know

the men in that, no.

Well, thanks for your time, Jon.

-Thank you.

-Uh, all right, thanks Jon.

-[Joe] Appreciate it.

-All right, bye.

[Jon] All right, bye.

New York City history.

History time.

Time for some history.

[Zack humming a tune]

I never doubted you,

not for one second.

[Jon] We-- we'll be

covering the story.

With, uh, certainly

bigger interest.

And we just wanted

to reach out and--

[Joe] Yeah, like I said, Jon,

thank you so much

for your time.

"Can you confirm that you are,

in fact, the person

depicted in the video,

and provide CBS News

with a statement, please?"

[rock music playing

over speaker]

New York will also be

electing a new city council.

And there's some

shocking news out of that race,

because Manhattan candidate

Zach Weiner was caught

with a dominatrix

who put wax on him,

and clipped his nipples

with clothespins.

[laughter on video]

Reached for comment,

the candidate said...

[unintelligible mumbling]

[laughing]

-I like that.

-That's great.



Famous people are, like,

coming out of the woodworks.

Someone tagged Adrian Greniere.

[Zack shouts]

This hot girl commented

something mean about me.

Everyone is seeing this.

Oh, my God, [indistinct]

is in for a surprise.

New York City Council candidate

is receiving attention online.

Don't worry, Mom,

it's still the same me.

[reporter] There he is,

the man of the hour.

[speaking other language]

[man] Is there anything

you want to plug specifically?

[Zack] Alan Handell,

this democratic hero.

He's worked for

the party for 50 years.

This would be

just such a great thing.

He has two grandkids on the way

and he's a fantastic guy.

Teenagers are very impulsive.

I can see one giving a kidney,

no-- no question.

No, this was a rented space.

There was nothing

about my ideas in there.

That's very f*cking annoying.

Zack isn't hiding

or even apologizing,

saying, quote,

"I am a proud BDSM-er.

I like BDSM."

Which, as you know, probably

means he's not doing it right.

[laughter]

There's got to be some kind of,

like, Epstein-type situation.

You handcuff yourself to

Gale Brewer and you make her

-watch you take dumps.

-Yep.

I's good, bad, or sweet

-[Zack exclaiming]

-I have to tie you up!

[Zack exclaims in pain]

The whole incident

was so humiliating,

he gave the dominatrix

an extra thousand dollars.

[man] Why do they

always look like exactly

how you think

they're going to look?

-[indistinct] little soy boy.

-[Colbert] Yeah.

You know,

a failed feminist sort.

Just because you look smart

doesn't mean

that you're a soy boy.

[man speaking other language]

I like to see this

out in the open because

all these politicians are creepy

weirdos behind closed doors.

Oh.

Your political

career is over, yo,

I can promise you,

he ain't going to get elected.

Dominatrix in leaked video.

[laughing]

What is wrong with Zack?

[newscaster] Weiner responded...

"I am not ashamed of

the private video

circulating of me on Twitter."

It's like my mom used to say,

"When life gives you lemons,

you inject them with rat poison

and feed them to

the neighbor's children."

Oh, no.

Look at Mr. Tough Guy over here.

Bad candidate.

-[audience cheering]

-Oh, naughty boy.

Now, you may not have heard

of Zack before,

but his father is

a co-creator of the popular

children's television show

Dora the Explorer.

Whereas his son created

the less popular spinoff,

Marion the Disciplinarian.

[audience cheering and laughing]

You get a great show

for you tonight.

I loved you all along

Wondering why



[street din]

[door latch clicks]

-[Alan] Oh, my God.

-Al. How are you.

-[Alan] How are you?

-How have you been? A hug?

-[Alan] Good to see you.

-[Zack] Good to see you.

-Good to see you.

-Great to see you.

-You look great.

-I'm feeling better.

Good.

How're you doing, man?

Good to see you.

You did an unbelievable event

to try to get a kidney donor,

-and that's unbelievable.

-[Zack] Oh.

That really touched me.

I mean, that was really--

It made me cry.

That was something.

Every campaign for

the last 40 years,

I pick a candidate or two that

I want to stay with and follow.

So, you-- you're--

you're it this year, Zack.

You're my...

my new friend in life.

-It turns out--

-[phone ringing]

I feel similarly.

I really appreciate that.

Let me just [indistinct]

The old isn't working

as well as we hoped, obviously.

The city is not doing

as well as I hoped.

Um, I would like to see it

come back strong.

The only way

that's going to happen

is to have some new faces

in our government.

Whatever happens in this race,

let's say you don't win,

unfortunately.

What are you going to do next?

Where are you going to go

to make a difference,

to make an impact?

How can you best do that?

That's what we have to

all figure out.

People like you,

you're so young.

How many people run

for public office at your age

and have your drive

and your enthusiasm for it?

Let's do something with that.

The final rally, I wasn't sure

what was going to happen.

Obviously,

we were in the news a lot.

I fired up a tweet

that just said

we were going to have

a rally at 6:00 p.m.

at Verdi Square,

72nd and Broadway.

Uh, and, you know,

that was it.

I-- I-- I just didn't know

what was going to happen.

I-- I hoped

people would show up.

Um, obviously,

not a lot of people

have shown up to some of

our other events,

but this time...

[crowed chanting]

Weiner, Weiner, Weiner.

Weiner, Weiner.

Weiner, Weiner, Weiner.

Weiner, Weiner.

Weiner, Weiner, Weiner.

[indistinct]

That's my favorite.

I've been

voting for her for years,

and I'm going to continue

voting for her.

And what changed in New York?

I'm not going to vote

for this dude.

Who's the dude

we're talking about?

One, two, three!

[crowed shouting] Weiner!

Boo, forget about him.

-Weiner!

-[indistinct]

[indistinct chattering]

Joe. Gale Brewer's here.

She's trying to crash the rally.

[Sarah] Guys, everyone

in politics is serious

and they have to have,

like, a perfect image

and they have to, like,

not experiment sexually.

Like, that's why we're here

today because we're young,

we all do things,

we all dress interesting,

and we love to just

be ourselves

and that's what Zack

represents.

And I'm very excited

to announce

that the man is in

the building.

[crowd screaming]

[Joe] I'll keep you waiting

for one more sec, actually.

I'm sorry about that.

We've got a very special

guest address

from a candidate in District 40

who's been

a longtime Weiner ally.

Her name is Harriet Hines.

All right.

Okay, I came up here

in support of Zack,

so just please, you know,

bear with me

a couple of minutes.

I wrote something

special for him.

As you can see,

that I am a person

with a physical disability

due to chronic diabetes

that has affected my mobility.

Zack supports me

and does not judge me.

I can only do the same for him.

Zack understands my passion

because Zack has empathy.

A quality that many

of those in office lack

and that many of those running

for office can't relate to.

-[man in crowd] Yeah!

-He cares about

his local community

and cares about all of you.

-[crowd cheering]

-A vote for Zack

will be a vote well casted.

Vote Zack Weiner

as your number one choice

-[loud cheering]

-for City Council

in District 6.

[Joe shouting]

Are you ready for Zack Weiner?

[crowd cheering]

[Harriet speaking

other language]

Weiner, Weiner,

Weiner, Weiner

Vote for Weiner

He's a super duper

high achiever

Vamonos! Grab your backpacks!

Weiner! Whoo!

Vote for Weiner!

No brewing, no, no, no

Weiner, Weiner, Weiner

Vote for Weiner

He's a super duper

high achiever

Vote for Weiner!

Hi everybody! How we doing?

[crowd cheering]

A lot of times you hear

from politicians you hear,

"We should, we need, we will."

What about, what are we doing?

What has been done?

What's been done?

-[woman in crowd] Yes, yes!

-[indistinct] what're we doing?

Now I know some of you

might have heard

there's been

a little unusual attention

in the last few days

to my campaign.

Some of you might be aware.

But we're going to keep going.

We're going to keep

moving ahead, we're hyper-local.

We're not concerned

with the outside world.

They took a year

to pay attention to us.

We've been doing a lot

in that year to get

things done.

And that's going to keep going.

Tonight, tomorrow,

and for the next year.

-Thank you so much.

-[crowd cheering]

-Thank you.

-[crowd chanting] Weiner,

Weiner, Weiner...

[Joe] You know, I don't know

if that was something

that it felt like one of those

things where I dreamt it before.

You know, it felt like something

that couldn't have been real.

And there it was.

[crowd chanting] Weiner, Weiner.

Weiner, Weiner, Weiner.

Weiner, Weiner, Weiner, Weiner.

-Weiner.

-[loud cheering]

It's been a--

It's been a win today.

And tomorrow's,

it's the election.

How are you feeling about that?

Incredibly confident.

I dwarf everyone else in terms

of support and engagement

through every facet

of online and in the press.

Gale, yes,

she's still formidable.

She still has many, many people

following her on Twitter.

She's-- Her name,

when you enter the city

from any direction,

when you drive in, you see

Gale Brewer, Bill de Blasio.

But that's

when you're driving in.

That means you don't live here.

For the people that are here,

for the people

in the neighborhood,

if they read the Jerusalem Post,

if they read the New York Post,

if they listen to NPR

or read the PBS,

they're going to see

that there's one candidate

and one candidate only

that is leading this race,

shaping the narrative,

dominating the election.

His name is Zack Weiner,

and he's going to win tomorrow.

I'm going to win tomorrow.

[newscaster] Polls are now

open on this primary day.

Many races are on the ballot,

including the one for mayor.

[reporter] Voting locations

are now officially open.

They opened up

at 6 o'clock this morning

and they will remain open

until 9 o'clock tonight.

Candidates were spending

the last final moments

pushing for votes

ahead of the primary,

each taking

a different approach.

[Sarah] It's, what time is it?

It's 4:30.

It's like prime voting time.

People just got out of work.

Every other candidate is,

like, out on the street...

[Zack] I'm doing

a third article...

-...getting voters.

-...about the rally.

-We're going to win.

-We're going to win.

And evidently, going outside

doesn't really matter that much.

Did you not hear

about the emails?

-What emails?

-We've gotten, like, 45 emails

saying they voted for

me number one

and a lot of them are former

Gale voters that quit,

that are older people and saying

their friends are doing it.

No f*cking way.

I need to figure out pants.

And don't worry, I'm not judging

you on your socks, by the way.

Do you have two d*ck Wolf hats?

Uh, yeah, I have my backup.

[street din]

Hi, Scott. Joe Gallagher.

I'm the campaign manager

for Zack.

-Oh, nice to meet you.

-Pleasure to meet you.

-Good luck to you.

-Wait, Zack Weiner?

-That's right.

-Zack, dominatrix...

In the press,

that's what's going on, yeah.

-[man] Hello.

-It's an unfortunate leak.

Yeah, I appreciate that.

I appreciate that, Scott.

-Thank you.

-Yeah, that-- Thanks. Thank you.

Alright, here we are.

Morning lineup, grade four.

-So, wait.

-That-- That's weird, though.

It's also

for handicapped people.

-I'm going to go over there.

-Yeah, but it's handicapped--

-[indistinct mumbling]

-We go-- let's go

to where it says

"Vote [indistinct].

Yeah. Great, thank you.

-[Sarah] Yeah.

-[Zack] I'm kidding.

This is a very important moment.

He is voting for himself

in an election

in the neighborhood

that he grew up in

his entire life

and that he's trying

to represent.

Oh, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry.



[overlapping chatter]

[people cheering]

[overlapping conversations]

-This man is the highest...

-[overlapping chatter]

[man] If you're in line,

stay in line.

You have a right to vote.

[overlapping chatter]

That was great.

[Zack] The data results

we're getting indicate

-that we're going to win.

-What? What?

[Zack] Local indicators,

uh, early voting

-indicate that we're gonna win.

-[Sarah] No way.

[Zack]

How are you seeing the results?

Where are you

seeing the results?

Where are you seeing

the results?

What's he saying?

207 votes.

How much does Gale have?

207 votes?

[bar din]

Gale's about

15,000 it looks like.

207 votes?

Ask him how many that is--

Andy, where's are the--

Where is this website?

-Okay, 6th District.

-Oh.

You're in last place.

You have 2.5%.

Son of a b*tch.

I-- I think I'm ready,

not to declare victory,

but to declare

an exploratory--

f*ck, I don't even know

what the movie's--

I'm gonna look like the biggest

as*h*le in the world.

I think we get out

in front of it.

I want them to release the twos.

I got all the twos and threes

that actually

come across right now.

And-- uh--

[Sarah] You need to see

the twos and the threes.

New York One.

It's on New York One.

They don't have it here?

I gotta ask Dan what this is.

I'm gonna bring Dan over.

-Joe, Joe.

-I voted for you.

Your second choice

will go to someone else.

I want to give a speech.

[overlapping conversation]

Declaring a possibility

the route to victory's emerged.

I'm so glad everyone's here.

This is a momentous occasion.

This is an exciting moment.

Uh, We're looking

at the results.

They're confusing.

This is a new system.

People are adapting.

If you go on newyorktimes.com,

we'll kick you out of the party.

Don't go on-- the word

or even speak about it.

Um, thank you, Dan,

and I think that's clear

to every single person here.

There's a path to victory.

We're not gonna know the answer.

We're gonna be getting

more information.

If you look at these stats,

you'll be a little confused,

but that's been the nature

of the whole race.

So give us a little more time,

let the enthusiasm seep in.

Let our strategy work,

and thank you for being here.

-[man shouting] Let's go, Dan!

-[crowd cheering]

Oh, my God,

what do we tell the public?

Once they do start

adding in absentee ballots?

But as long as you're not--

Well, the truth is, real--

the real counting

doesn't happen until the end,

when they-- when-- when--

when they've scanned

all the affidavit ballots,

or absentee ballots--

or both, actually, uh,

and that's not until July 12th.

So there's gonna be a lot

of talk on TV about she won,

-this one won, that one won.

-[Alan] Hey.

-Oh, fantastic.

-Alan.

Alan, this is amazing

to see you.

-Alan, thank you for coming.

-Thank you so much for coming.

-Pleasure to see you.

-This is terrific.

-I had to say hello.

-Ah.

How proud I am of, uh...

all you've done

for this campaign.

To establish a new,

young, dynamic force,

I hope, on the West Side.

-I really appreciate that.

-I'm gonna watch you.

I hope I live long enough.

-God willing.

-God willing.

We'll see you just a stepping

stone, just the beginning.

He's a great guy, too,

here.

-Joe was--

-Yeah, they were fun.

I had seven city council

candidates as clients this year

and one mayoral, but these guys

were the most fun.

Oh, I appreciate that a lot.

Thank you.

Unfortunately the losingist.

They were certainly the most

interesting campaign that I did.

-You're Zack's mom?

-Yeah, and we've--

-Alan--

-I know, we have your poster.

-You're responsible for him.

-I created him, you know?

You did a damn good job.

No, I had nothing

to do with that, actually.

I always want to meet

one young,

interesting,

dynamic person every year

that I work in this business

of politics.

Do you meet one

or do you want to meet one?

I want one, and I did.

Your son is the one, I told you.

Thank you so much.

[indistinct shouting]

[Sarah] Hold on, hold on.

[loud cheering]

-You almost-- almost--

-[Zack] 742.

-You almost got 1,000!

-You got 742, man.

[man] Zack.

[James] No, 742, dude.

That's not nothing. That's good.

-That's-- that's--

-[James] That's a base.

That's a base to build from.

[man] Hi, Zack Weiner,

good to meet you.

Hey, what's up, man?

It was good to see you.

Mazel tov. Congratulations.

Well done.

Congratulations.

I'm Sarah. So nice to meet you.

-Nice to meet you.

-Congratulations.

Nice to see you again.

Listen, listen,

I know I'll push you off.

Listen,

I know I'll push you off.

-You're over it. [laughing]

-Listen, listen,

I know I'll push you off.

Zack doesn't need to support me

and believe in me,

but he does,

and he makes point of it.

And, um...

he's one of my favorite

people I've ever met.

Don't tell him-- I feel like

he's going to get so annoying.

Being a finance minister, like,

I thought I couldn't do it.

Just by that word alone,

I was, like, scared.

But when Zack gave me a shot

and a chance

to be a part of his campaign,

you know,

I took advantage of that.

You know, and I'm proud.

Now when I go to parties,

people always ask me,

like, "Hey, you work

for that Weiner dude?"

And I'm like, "Yeah.

I work for the Weiner dude."

What do you want me to--

I was, like, barely,

you know, I was like a gopher.

I-- I didn't think

that Zack was going to win

in the first place, you know.

I was doing this

to help out a friend.

I looked

at Gale Brewer's website,

and logically I'm like,

"Oh, she's backed by everyone."

People, yeah, the people

console me all the time.

That I have a freak for a son.

Uh, since the campaign,

there's been some changes.

I moved in here.

Uh, this is my new workspace.

Uh, some of my friends will be

living here, possibly Joe.

I'm still not, um,

residing here myself at night.

I'm staying at my mom's still

because I just prefer

the accommodations there

for sleeping.

But it's going

to help a lot, I think,

with my relationship

with my mother working here.

He, uh, he asked me to stay on

as his campaign manager,

which I accepted,

even though there's no campaign

to run right now.

Um, for me, I'm-- I'm shutting

down the bank account.

I'm liquidating our assets.

Um, some of the leftover

funds, you know,

if it was up to me, I would--

I would use to, you know...

push back on some of these

legal battles we have ahead.

But Zack's adamant

he wants to use

the campaign funds

on one thing and one thing only.

["Sky on Fire"

by Handsome Poets]

Wheels keep rolling

sirens howling

In the desert,

n the desert

You're on the backseat

of my car

In a dream we're gonna

watch the stars

In a new place,

in a new place

We lost track,

it doesn't matter

'Cause we are

on this road together

Let's start a fire, a fire

New kids coming into town

Lets get together

We take over now

A fire, a fire

New kids coming into town

Lets get together

We take over now



[woman] How is it?

Nice and tight?

-[Zack] Uh-huh.

-[woman] Uh-huh,

-you're not going to escape.

-[Zack groans]

You don't have to

tighten it anymore.

[Zack grunts and moans]

-I don't know what else to do.

-[muffled] Do you want help?

-Huh?

-[muffled] Do you want help?

[Zack mumbling]

Here, I can loosen you up.

["Fun City" by Ernest Ernie

& The Sincerities]

Oh, well I remember

A day his was the town

Broke as can be

but free and proud

I can't hide my temper

I can't take

what's going down now

This soulless greed

that's creeping around

Yeah

It's plain to see

that times are changing

Times are changing

These ain't the streets

that I was raised in

Yeah

They put a toll on everything

but on the whole

Well, I still think

I still think

That it's a fun city!

Once she was hated

Forsaken by the hive

Left her for dead

yet she survived

Now she wants a payment

For raising up the five

Never forget she sacrificed

And now they're lining up,

driving up the prices

Yeah, free trade done

raised the rent

But at least

we're seeing crime decline

And yet in spite of it,

we wind up in a crisis

Yes, yes,

greed made us great again

But that beast

needs feeding all the time

Yeah

It's plain to see

that times are ...
