    I truly appreciate this interview. He is sensible in his views on policy. I wish that every member of the House and Senate were there to advance policies to help ALL Americans. There has to be a give and take on both sides of the aisle. I believe that those that fall into the category, poor just want dignity. We don't want handouts, but a helping hand to improve our lives so that we, hopefully, will pay it forward.

      @@nysaxman Jose Vega is a quarrelsome and pugnacious guy who is being paid excessively for what he does. I don't like him. But I admire Ritchie Torres. He is a wonderful person. He is right to suppport Israel.

      @@ГлебВерховский-п2р And what has Israel done for America? We have homeless people sleeping on the street, the healthcare system doesn't work and creates medical debt for millions of Americans. Meanwhile, we give $3 billion to Israel and they have free college and free healthcare. So again, what does a foreign country like Israel do for the United States?
      As for Jose Vega, yes he's combative. That's a good thing because he's exposing establishment politicians like Hilary Clinton, AOC and Ritchie Torres. But you're a typical MSNBC 💩lib. So this annoys you.

    Richie Torres is a disgrace. The people of the Bronx doesn't even see him in the community. Independent activist Jose Vega is running against him. LET'S GO JOSE!

      Your comment indicates that you either didn't watch the video at all, or that you had already made up your mind about it before you watched it. This man is a thoughtful and courageous leader who is standing against the most unhealthy voices on the left and on the right. He is showing genuine leadership, while you are merely insulting him, for no real reason, on the internet.

      Hi, as a constituent of NY15 that man is the reason I abandoned the Democratic Party. This man is the same man who stood alongside Eric Adams shaming the NYPD as co conspiring agitators of the George Floyd riots slandering dissenters as indiscriminately as Israel/Hamas reputation to civilians
      But for immolations sake, imagine being the head of Public Housing Oversight to descend it into an alternative economy after coming out of rehab on inside trading while Del Blasio & his wife made off on that ThriveNYC program $ but yes the repugnant discontent on DJT & MAGA is forlorn on efforts of election integrity as if dude ain’t ever obfuscate association w/ FTX pack this guys bags he’s running for NYCmayor

      ⁠​⁠@@Freeman-iw2tsTorres is running for higher office. Next step could be mayor, governor, senator. But it’s clear he has his sights on president. Other offices are stepping stones. He’s positioning himself in the middle to appeal to the most voters.

      @michaelmcallister6309 I think enlisting in the armed forces can be wonderful for some people, especially young people who are looking for a challenge and a chance to serve their country. It appears to me that Rep. Torres is getting an opportunity to do just that for the people of his district in the Bronx.
