With no fees or minimums on checking accounts, it's no wonder the Capital One Bank guy is so passionate about banking with Capital One. If he were here, he wouldn't just tell you about no fees or minimums. He'd also talk about how Capital One Cafes are open seven days a week to assist with your banking needs. Yep, even on weekends. It's pretty much all he talks about, in a good way. What's in your wallet? Terms apply. See CapitalOne.com/bankguy. Capital One NA, member FDIC.

[upbeat music] From The New York Times, this is The Interview. I'm Lulu Garcia-Navarro, and today I'm talking to New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani. In his first six months in office, Mayor Mamdani has been riding high, and has begun delivering on the issue that defined his campaign: affordability. He's frozen the rent on nearly a million apartments, and he's made progress on universal childcare. What's more, he's recently endorsed a slate of progressive congressional candidates who swept their New York primaries, to the dismay of the Democratic political establishment. Of course, Mamdani has many, many critics, but he's now undeniably a national political force. So just how does he plan on using all this power? Here's my conversation with New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani. Welcome, uh, to The Interview. Thank you so much for being here. I really appreciate you coming here today- Thank you so much
