00:00Last week, your campaign submitted pretty bad fundraising numbers, many of them defected
00:09from, many of your former donors are now contributing to Cuomo's campaign, and you've been repeatedly
00:19denied matching funds.
00:21What's your plan moving forward financially for your campaign?
00:25Well, OK, one, people contribute to more than one candidate in the race.
00:30You know, this is ranked choice voting.
00:32You get five, so I'm surprised people are not donating to five candidates, because you
00:35get five picks.
00:37But I have been extremely clear.
00:39People are catching up to me.
00:40I outpace everyone.
00:42And we're going to continue to fight to get our matching funds.
00:46But we know how to do this.
00:47You know, we—look, no one that's running for mayor has ever won mayor but me.
00:54And I ran against nine people before.
00:56This is not new.
00:58Never count New York out, and never count Eric out.
01:02That's the rule of the day.
01:04And so we are good to go.
01:06We know what we're doing.
01:07But I can't get into this whole political stuff, because Fabian is going to have a fit.
01:10I want to say more.
01:11We need to lock Fabian out of the room, so I can really engage with you guys more, you
01:15know?
