-I want to ask about this, because, you know, obviously,
if you're running against a Republican right now,
they would probably be attacking your lack of experience,
but you're in this situation where even progressives,
who like your ideas, are concerned about it.
How do you address this fact that you
aren't coming from a political background,
especially at a time where someone's in The White House
who didn't have a lot of experience,
and it looks like it's not going great?
-Well, but what I want to say is -- Donald Trump is,
first and foremost, a real-estate developer, right?
Who ran to give himself and people in his tax bracket
a huge income-tax break.
I mean, I'm somebody who grew up the daughter
of a single mother in a five-flight one-bedroom walkup,
somebody who has spent the last 17 years
and used my celebrity to fight for LGBTQ equality
and for women's rights and abortion rights
and most especially to fight for better funding
and more equal funding for New York's public schools.
And I think that that's the kind of progressive fighter
that New York needs leading it right now.
We already have a corrupt corporate Republican
in the White House.
We don't need a corrupt corporate Democrat
opposing him in Albany.
-So, I want to get to an issue that we both agree
and I think everybody in the city agrees --
the subways are -- they're not good.
[ Laughter ]
That's one, I think, you've addressed.
And, obviously, you know, the subway is a lifeblood
for a lot of people that have to get to work.
This a serious issue.
-The subway is literally what New York City runs on.
-It's literally what it runs on.
And how do you even go about trying to address
this issue that not just through --
to be fair, has been deteriorating for years,
not just due to the Cuomo administration.
-Yes, but look at what's happened
in the last seven years.
Delays have tripled under Andrew Cuomo.
We've got the worst on-time record now
of any major transit system in the entire country.
-We did have that pizza rat. That was a nice moment.
That happened on his watch.
He was the first governor to have a pizza rat.
-But he has watched the steady decline.
He's siphoned off hundreds of millions of dollars
for pet projects that have absolutely nothing to do
with transportation.
And the fact of the matter is --
like so many of the issues that we face,
the problems that we face in New York, we know the solution.
But, right now, we have a governor who doesn't have
the political will to make it happen.
-The solution being we need more money put into the subways.
-The solution being we have a really comprehensive plan
for how to fix them, to replace the 1930s-era signals,
to replace the trains from the '60s and the '70s,
to run cars closer together so that we can get more trains
on the system so we're all not jammed in like sardines.
But Andrew Cuomo doesn't want to enact a tax on millionaires,
because they're some of his biggest donors
and he doesn't want to alienate them.
And his they're not people who ride the subway.
He himself is not someone who rides the subway.
He's been on the subway twice since taking office.
As somebody who's on the subway every day
and knows firsthand how terrible it is
and how it's getting worse and worse month by month,
this is not something we have a choice about fixing,
the New York City subway,
and this is not something that we can delay fixing.
It's only going to get harder
and more expensive to fix the longer we wait.
-Is it -- has it been disappointing for you
or is it what you expected that a lot of
establishment Democrats are throwing their support
behind Governor Cuomo?
You know, people like Joe Biden
and people like Hillary Clinton are supporting him.
Is that what you expected or a disappointment?
-This is exactly what we expected.
This is a total insurgent campaign.
This is a people-powered campaign.
And this is a campaign that
we're talking to people about issues.
We're talking to people about things
that they care about, like legalizing marijuana.
I know your audience doesn't care about that
issue in particular.
[ Cheers and applause ]
But we have to legalize marijuana for a lot of reasons,
but also because it's a racial-justice issue,
because people across all ethnicities and races
use marijuana at roughly the same rates,
but 80% of the arrests are of black and Latino people.
And it's just the tip of the iceberg
of the justice reform that we need to do.
We need to stop the overpolicing of communities of color.
We have to stop mass incarceration.
And when we're talking about mass incarceration,
we're talking about mass incarceration
of people of color.
-And the subway is also mass incarceration,
if you've been on it recently.
-At the moment. At the moment, it is.
-At the moment, it is. It's all very exciting.
It's very exciting to you have here,
both because of the political message
that you're pushing forward -- Also, we were talking backstage.
I do want to mention this briefly.
I had never seen "Sex and the City."
My wife made me start watching it this year.
We're on Season 4. -I'm so sorry. Yes.
-I'm very much enjoying it. -Good, good, good.
-But I'm really bothered,
because I feel like I have a really good impression of Steve.
-Really? -Yeah.
But I feel like it's a problem, because I feel like the window
is closed, as far as that being an effective tool.
Like, no one is dying to hear a Steve impression right now.
But I feel like since you're here,
I have a unique opportunity to do it.
-I would be so thrilled. -Okay, great. Are you ready?
-I wish we -- Do we have a Brooklyn Bridge, you know,
photo that we can --
-This is close enough, I feel. -It's close enough.
-Yeah, yeah yeah. -All right. Go ahead.
All right. Okay.
-[ As Steve ] What's going on with us, Miranda?
I mean, I can't figure out what we're doing.
Should we get a dog?
-That's very good. -Thank you.
That means a lot. You made me feel very good.
You just made me feel very good. -That was beautiful.
-Thank you so much for being here.
Give it up for Cynthia Nixon, everybody.
