hochul: no. the same year we lost five seats in california. i think that there's a broader analysis that would be justified. amna: when you look ahead, do you think that democrats can flip those seats in november? gov. hochul: i do. last time i had been governor for a short time. now that i am through that, i am laser focused on building up the state party. we have five seats i believe we can pick up. we already picked up one seat that i was involved in. he left his seat in congress to run against me and that was one that was lost. all's well that ends well. i accepted his apology and i thought it was important to sent him back to congress to increase numbers. barack obama was in his first years, we had speaker boehner in charge, i saw how challenging it is for a democratic president to accomplish anything with a republican minority. i see what president biden is going through. i want to change that dynamic for president harrison to make sure that she has strong allies to do what they need to do for working members of our society and give peop

hochul of anything. that seeing she was port of the beijing operation in new york and for instance jimmy quinn report that had hochul had a cozy relationship herself with the chinese consulate general and in contact with the business group that represents chinese state owned firms and the u.s. government actually blacklisted her ties to the liberation army and hochul herself waved a chinese flag at lunar new year and the organization and hochul to elise stefanik's proposal and should be investigated and not just this agent soon because hochul oversaw this scandal. liz: what did you think of all this, carol? america house oversight probing harris' run mate tim walz over dozens of trips to china and we have house education virginia foxx subpoenaing governor tim walz and his state education commissioner, carol, because they fail to stop a gigantic covid-19 fraud to accord billions in dollars of taxpayer money and that was money meant to feed hungry children and we're not saying these two things are linked,

. >> governor hochul, thank you for joining us.hochul: it's an important topic to converse about. >> one of the reasons we are pleased governor hochul could join us today because it was just in june that she signed into law two major pieces of legislation, one expanding on federal privacy protections for kids, the other regulating social media algorithms for users under age 18. many people say both these laws could be blueprint for other states to follow. let's start with the one law, the safe for kids act. it made new york to pass -- the first state to pass a law regulating social media algorits requiring companies to display media chronologically as the default for kids under 18 good why was that priority? why do you enforce it? gov. hochul: it's the outgrowth of a year-long journey back when i started when i introduced $1 billion for the mental health crisis in our state and went on a listening tour of teenagers, all ages, focused on young people listening to them and what their challenges were. we have had the surgeon general d

citizen who was born in china and rose to become hochul's deputy chief of staff.day, hochul responding. >> i'm furious, and i'm outraged, and absolutely shocked at how brazen her behavior was. it was a betrayal of trust. the trust of government, the trust of the people. and i'll tell you this, the second we discovered some levels of misconduct, we fired her. >> reporter: a representative for former governor cuomo saying that while he was in office, sun had little to no interaction with the governor. if these allegations are proven in court, david, they represent a brazen, remarkable attempt by the chinese to infiltrate government and steer policy in this influential state. linda sun and her husband both pleaded not guilty to the criminal charges and tonight they're free on bond. david? >> david: aaron katersky leading us off in new york tonight. aaron, thank you. >>> we turn now to the countdown to the abc news presidential debate, one week from tonight, of course, right here on abc. vice president kamala harris and former president donald trump face-to-face for t

he can be kicked out by the governor, kathy hochul, the democratic governor.he mechanism is, even kind of getting kathy hochul to kick him out. it's never been done before. so that's a complicated process. but it's going to put the spotlight on the democrats generally. it's going to put the spotlight particularly on kathy hochul. how does she deal with this? if this indictment, which most of the lawyers that i'm hearing at the moment are saying, "listen, the new york city prosecutors would not have come up with this detailed an indictment unless they were pretty sure of what they had," if kathy hochul allows him to stay on as mayor of new york while he's fighting these charges, what does that mean for those three really competitive districts that democrats want to get back from republicans? and they were lost, many people thought, because voters around new york city were fed up with kathy hochul. they didn't like the democratic leadership. influx of immigrants that have come up. they didn't like prices and... congestion pricing. there's a lot of things they do

so what sort of pressure will kathy hochul be facing on that?very very good question, you know, she's kind of dammed if she does, and dammed if she doesn't. either way, new york city and the democrats are going to look absolutely terrible, right? if she tries to cut them loose, there's not a lot of time to resurrect the democrats' reputation. it doesn't stop with kathy hochul, right? there's chuck schumer, right? there's president biden, right? the democrats, that they feel that eric adams is going to jeopardize the democrats' standing in any way, then they are going to step in. but like i said, it's, you know, racism minefield, so this is an excruciatingly difficult question for all of them. >> this is a story about a new york city mayor. it's highly local, as we have been talking about, it's got some real national significance, especially as we are, i think, 41 days until a presidential election where the margins are just so tight. andrew, tom, lisa, and basil, guys, thank you. again, i could keep talking about this. it's my favorite story of
