New York City mayoral candidate Andrew Cuomo warned voters against socialism, saying such policies could mark the "death of New York." Cuomo argued the socialist movement is driving businesses out of the city and threatening public safety. 

"It’s going to be the death of New York as we know it whether you're a Democrat or Republican," Cuomo said on "Saturday in America."

The former Democratic New York governor is locked in a three-way race with Democratic nominee Zohran Mamdani and Republican nominee Curtis Sliwa.

Throughout the race, Cuomo has positioned himself as a counter to socialist policies. He vowed to restore public safety and rebuild trust with businesses.

"New York frightened them [businesses] into going to Florida. This Democratic socialist movement – this didn't just start. This has been growing for years. And it's been very powerful in New York City," said Cuomo of the latest business exodus.

He pointed to what he called a "hostility" toward business, citing the canceled Amazon headquarters project that "socialists stopped," which he argued would have brought 25,000 jobs to the city.

"We need business. Business is the engine that drives the train. This is New York. We're the capitalist capital of the country," Cuomo said. 

"We want entrepreneurs. We want talent. We want you bringing your business here. That's opportunity. That is growth. That is America."

Cuomo also criticized what he called the far-left’s "anti-police" agenda, saying it has led to increased crime and fewer officers on the streets.

"We have the lowest-level police force in modern political history because this far-left socialist mentality defunded the police," Cuomo said, pledging to add 5,000 officers if elected. 

Appealing to Republican and moderate voters, Cuomo stressed that his campaign is about "saving" New York City from ideological extremes.

"To Republicans, I say, you're New Yorkers. We're all New Yorkers, and this is about the future of New York and saving New York City," he said.

American skier and mountaineer Jim Morrison made history this week when he became the first person to successfully ski down the North Face of Mount Everest using the mountain’s most challenging and elusive path. 

Morrison, 50, accomplished the incredible feat on Wednesday in four hours and five minutes, descending the 29,032-foot summit with a nearly vertical drop down a slope of 9,000 feet below to the Rongbuk Glacier, according to National Geographic, which accompanied Morrision on the journey for an upcoming documentary.

His descent using the Hornbein and Japanese Couloirs was a historic first because of the difficulty of the route. The Hornbein and Japanese Couloirs are defined by their steep, icy, and narrow conditions and the high risk of avalanches.

Morrison told the outlet that he dedicated his accomplishment to his partner and famed mountaineer Hilaree Nelson, who tragically died in 2022 following a fall near the summit of Manaslu in Nepal. 

"I had a little conversation with her and felt like I could dedicate the whole day to her," he said. 

"When I finally crossed the bergschrund, I cried. I’d risked so much, but I was alive. It felt like a tribute to Hilaree—something she’d be proud of. I really felt her with me, cheering me on."

According to National Geographic, Morrison had attempted the feat on two other occasions, but permitting issues and dangerous weather conditions derailed his attempts. This week, on the final day of his permit, Morrison succeeded.

As for the journey, Morrison told National Geographic that it was "a mix of survival skiing and actual shredding."

Morrison’s historic ski run comes weeks after Polish skier Andrzej Bargiel became the first person to ski down Mount Everest without the use of supplemental oxygen.
