First Encounter

  1. First Encounter1:26:00–1:28:23

    David asks what is up with Connie and whether Pelosi is just vindictive; Eve explains Chan is a Hong Kong immigrant and labor-backed Budget Committee chair, and argues the endorsement mixes spite, union ties, and machine succession, though Wiener still leads in polls and money.

  2. First Encounter1:33:36–1:34:40

    David asks whether Pelosi truly believes Chan would be a better member than Wiener or is mainly proving the machine works; Eve argues both, but says the machine does more work, while claiming Pelosi genuinely likes Chan’s Chinatown roots, labor loyalty, and historic candidacy.
