This appears to be the Mamdani interview by Erin Bernett on CNN, during which the word capitalism or capitalist was mentioned exactly zero times. EDIT: I gave up too soon, it's 8min in and I was looking at an older transcript from three days ago.

LINK HERE

Her questions were actually pretty good because they set Mamdani up to give amazing answers, ~~instead of the stupid tribalistic bullshit in your fanfiction.~~ except for that question so dumb I thought it was bullshit.

She asked him "Do you like capitalism?" word for word.

Not to mention being "Breaking News" on the ticker immediately after with his answer in the back half of the interview.

So it's also written on the screen multiple times.

That's not true, at 8 minutes he literally gets asked that exact question and responds no. Watch between 8 mins and 8:06 of the link you posted...

Ah, you're right, mb. I watched the first 6 minutes at 1.75x speed and then gave up and read a transcript of another interview which was apparently from 3 days ago.

A US politician that doesn't deepthroat coporation everytime he opens his mouth? Guard him well, these types tend to end up comitting suicide via a bullet to the back of the head.
