   It's true what they say New York City does not sleep, which is why we need a City Council that reflects who we are tough

2. 00:08

   Resilient and ready to lend a helping hand. It's why we need

3. 00:12

   Harvey Epstein. Hi, I'm Harvey Epstein and I'm running for City Council of New York City

4. 00:18

   This is a real thing. Look, it's my name ideal. Of course not

5. 00:23

   I share names with two of the most notorious sex perverts of all time

6. 00:27

   You think I don't know that?

7. 00:29

   But thankfully, I'm a different guy.

8. 00:32

   On the state assembly,

9. 00:33

   Harvey Epstein fought for tenants' rights

10. 00:35

    and real issues affecting real New Yorkers every single day.

11. 00:38

    Everybody say, Epstein.

12. 00:40

    Epstein!

13. 00:41

    But I'm not gonna lie.

14. 00:43

    The name thing has become a bit of an issue.

15. 00:45

    Harvey, I could almost handle,

16. 00:47

    but Epstein, this thing is an albatross.

17. 00:49

    You tell him,

18. 00:50

    Harvey Epstein gave you something nice to eat.

19. 00:52

    Think of it this way, though.

20. 00:54

    If my names are this bad

21. 00:55

    and I'm still running for public office think how much better I'd have to be

22. 00:59

    than everybody else right that's just math New Yorkers agree they want someone

23. 01:04

    representing them like Harvey Epstein he's got my vote everyone deserves a

24. 01:10

    second chance I'm still on my first chance I think it's cool he knows a lot

25. 01:15

    of famous people I don't I'm a state assemblyman even Hillary couldn't kill this guy

26. 01:21

    Good for him. He's a survivor.

27. 01:24

    Again, I'm a different guy.

28. 01:26

    But, look, I love this city and its working people.

29. 01:29

    When the Mohawk Valley miners went on strike,

30. 01:32

    Epstein had their back.

31. 01:33

    Because Epstein looks out for miners.

32. 01:36

    M-I-N-E-R-S.

33. 01:38

    That is an important distinction. Please.

34. 01:41

    He'll be great for the economy.

35. 01:43

    Do I want him running our schools?

36. 01:44

    Probably not.

37. 01:45

    I can run the schools, and I love your children.

38. 01:49

    Not in a creepy way.

39. 01:50

    I give you my word as an Epstein.

40. 01:54

    Now, I really want to emphasize that I am not him

41. 01:58

    and that I am not him.

42. 02:00

    They are different people from each other,

43. 02:02

    and they certainly didn't combine

44. 02:03

    to form one person and make me.

45. 02:06

    That never happened.

46. 02:07

    Harvey Epstein for City Council,

47. 02:09

    because together, we can make this city

48. 02:12

    Epstein's Island.

49. 02:13

    Let's not call it that, maybe.
