00:00:30.200 Mamdani allegedly had a meeting to meet with the ambassador of Iran.

00:00:36.280 It was on his calendar.

00:00:37.980 You know what Mamdani said?

00:00:39.380 Oh, I'm sorry.

00:00:40.700 I didn't even know.

00:00:42.320 I didn't even know I had this meeting on my schedule.

00:00:44.180 Oh, wait, I'm meeting with the ambassador?

00:00:45.660 Yeah.

00:00:46.460 Oh, my God.

00:00:47.180 You know, I have such a busy schedule.

00:00:48.880 I would have never had the meeting, but you know what?

00:00:51.880 Yeah, we're not going to have the meeting.

00:00:53.360 Why are you not going to have the meeting?

00:00:54.320 Well, because the State Department shut down the meeting.

00:00:58.000 So if you want to pull up the story, Mamdani's official planned meeting with Iran envoy,

00:01:01.240 shut down by the State Department.

00:01:02.840 Go a little bit lower if you can and zoom in.

00:01:06.100 A senior official in New York City Mayor of Mamdani's administration planned to have a meeting with Iran's ambassador

00:01:10.300 to the United Nations before the State Department reportedly intervened and the meeting was canceled.

00:01:14.420 Commissioner Anna Maria, leader of the Mamdani administration's Office of International Affairs,

00:01:18.640 was scheduled to meet with Iran's permanent representative to the United Nations, Amir Saeed Irvani.

00:01:24.320 Tuesday, City General first reported a U.S. official familiar with the matter confirmed to Fox News that the meeting had been scheduled.

00:01:31.240 The reported intervention marks the second known instance in recent weeks in which the Trump administration has stepped in over Mamdani's administration contact with foreign leaders, highlighting growing federal scrutiny of New York City's international outreach under its new socialist mayor.

00:01:49.140 Tom, how big of a story is this?

00:01:50.800 This is big, and let me tell you why.

00:01:53.800 What's going on when this happens or when Gavin Newsom did the whole thing,

00:01:58.260 which is now four years ago with China, you know, and by the way,

00:02:01.800 and by the way, and swept all the homeless out of town,

00:02:04.180 stuck them on buses and sent them far enough away that they couldn't hitchhike

00:02:07.880 or walk back until the Chinese were gone and then put Chinese flags up on there.

00:02:12.920 When a mayor does this and it's not just, hey, Mr. President, you know,

00:02:19.900 I reach out to you, Mr. President, we're going to do an international trade

00:02:22.360 conference it's going to be here in um san francisco uh we have a lot of trade on here a lot

00:02:26.660 of semiconductors but we're going to be doing all this we're we're cool right we're all right to do

00:02:30.860 this we're going to have ambassadors and trade representatives and i come to you pat president

00:02:35.040 and you would say to me okay you can do this this and this this this and this thanks for letting us

00:02:39.380 know that's probably planned out a year year and a half in advance instead we have proxy wars going

00:02:45.740 on and let me explain what i mean so this is mandani a freaking proxy war against our own

00:02:51.860 um you know administration the same way gavin did it this is them trying to do things their way

00:02:58.560 and curry favor with people that they want to have the outcome political outcome he wants

00:03:03.440 political allegiance and he wants funding he wants a lot of things he wants funding to come

00:03:10.020 through the dark accounts back into packs to help him that's what he's asking for he's asking for a

00:03:15.160 lot of things in my opinion this is tom's observant opinion asking cool he's asking iran and other

00:03:21.860 dark sources of funding to come support him i'm that's my opinion there tom i'm going there that's

00:03:28.560 what i think i don't think it's just before oh this is just that you know this is just the the

00:03:33.800 camaraderie of muslims in here no no the aspirations they have are bigger listen to talib

00:03:41.840 But listen to what she was screaming into the microphone this weekend.

00:03:44.780 Their aspirations are bigger.

00:03:47.020 They are doing this and it's mayors basically running like a proxy war

00:03:51.900 diplomatically against our own administration.

00:03:54.780 Yeah.

00:03:54.980 And, and, and, you know, this guy, if there's one thing Americans should be

00:03:59.360 praying, grateful for is the fact that this guy wasn't born in America

00:04:02.840 because if he was born here, you know what this guy would be?

00:04:06.900 He'd be the number one candidate for president ahead of everybody.

00:04:10.320 He's just too good on what he's doing.

00:04:11.940 And while this is taking place in New York, another story comes out.

00:04:16.240 Mamdani's immigrant map omits Irish, Italian, Jewish contributors to New York City.

00:04:21.660 New Yorkers are criticizing Socialist Mayor Mamdani's administration for touting a map

00:04:25.440 celebrating the city's immigrant enclaves that omits the Italian, Irish, and the Jewish

00:04:30.040 communities that have been such integral parts of the Big Apple history.

00:04:32.880 Mamdani's deputies promoted

00:04:34.900 A new campaign in May

00:04:38.060 To celebrate the city's ethnic neighborhoods

00:04:39.980 With a map entitled

00:04:41.120 New York City's Immigrant Enclaves

00:04:42.720 That features 30 communities

00:04:45.040 Including a number of Muslim communities

00:04:46.960 Such as Yemeni, Pakistani, Egyptian, African

00:04:49.680 Palestinian neighborhoods

00:04:52.160 Also represented are

00:04:53.580 Chinese, Korean, Albanian, Colombian

00:04:55.540 Dominican, Ecuadorian, Indian, Haitian

00:04:57.560 Polish and other neighborhoods

00:04:59.220 But critics are ripping the map

00:05:01.680 for ignoring, if you want to pull that up a little bit so they can see it, ignoring European

00:05:05.920 neighborhoods that were the original little, such as Little Italy or the longstanding Irish

00:05:11.000 and Jewish neighborhoods that helped build New York City throughout the late 1800s and early

00:05:15.180 1900s. Queen's Republican councilwoman Joanne Areola ripped the city hall for exclusionary 1.00

00:05:24.560 graphics and told New York Post that it appears Mamdani doesn't think Jews, Italians, and Irish

00:05:30.040 count, the Post reported

00:05:32.320 they were able to get a little

00:05:34.440 Boa Tibet in there

00:05:36.340 but what about the original

00:05:38.240 little neighborhoods, little Italy, Councilman

00:05:40.180 Areola said, and what about the areas like the Woodlawn

00:05:42.520 in the Bronx, which

00:05:43.660 are home to plenty of Irish immigrants, do 1.00

00:05:46.180 the Irish Italians not count for mayor's

00:05:48.220 office? State Assemblyman

00:05:49.820 Kalman Yeager bashed Mamdani for

00:05:51.980 erasing Jews and he added, Mr. Mamdani 1.00

00:05:54.020 erasing Jews is an essential part 0.92

00:05:56.180 of the brand, part of his brand, no surprise 1.00

00:05:58.720 Joseph Scalessa, founder of the Italian American Museum on Mulberry Street,

00:06:03.560 said the mayor's map is a terrible mistake.

00:06:05.400 Italian Americans are still a major population in New York City.

00:06:08.480 To not recognize where Italian Americans came from and settled is a terrible mistake.

00:06:12.880 I don't understand why Little Italy isn't included.

00:06:15.800 Adam, your thoughts on this story? 0.96

00:06:17.780 I mean, what a freaking disgrace. 0.93

00:06:21.120 If I'm the average New Yorker, if I'm an Italian right now, 0.91

00:06:23.980 and i just woke up and i was like are you trying to tell me that mom donnie erased little italy

00:06:30.160 i'd be going crazy right now i think a lot of italians voted for cuomo but the ones that voted

00:06:34.460 for mom donnie disgrazia what are you talking about right here if there was any group of people

00:06:38.860 who helped build new york to what it's become you got to put italians at the top of the list

00:06:43.920 then you got the jews then you got the irish and he conveniently left all three of them off the list

00:06:49.740 but somehow the great mom donnie the great wizard of communism he remembered conveniently little

00:06:56.120 bangladesh little yemen and of course little palestine who can't forget the lovely time of

00:07:01.940 year in little palestine could click boom the fact that this is what's going on in the modern

00:07:06.980 day new york if you're a new yorker who's been born in new york and you're sitting around and

00:07:11.760 being like yeah yeah i like what's going on here you obviously don't care about your city and you

00:07:16.960 I obviously don't care about your country.

00:07:19.000 And, you know, Vinny, what's the one line from Big Pun?

00:07:21.720 Back in the middle of Italy, Italy, Italy.

00:07:23.900 There were riddlesome middlemen who didn't do diddly.

00:07:26.540 There you go.

00:07:27.280 Listen to some Big Pun before you end up in punishment land, Mom Donnie, okay? 1.00

00:07:31.640 Get some Big Pun in your life. 0.90

00:07:32.340 Yeah, and by the way, you know Andrew Schultz had Mom Donnie on,

00:07:35.980 and they did an interview with him.

00:07:37.200 That was his homie.

00:07:37.760 They were glazing all over him.

00:07:38.880 Well, they were interviewing him.

00:07:39.460 Are they buddies?

00:07:40.400 No, they loved him.

00:07:41.400 Well, they had him on.

00:07:42.440 They had him on, and it was a very positive, supportive,

00:07:45.420 I'm willing to pay a little bit more taxes

00:07:47.140 But even Andrew Schultz this last weekend 0.88

00:07:49.620 Who was supportive of Mamdani

00:07:51.220 Came out and said the following about

00:07:52.900 Mamdani saying 78 degrees

00:07:55.080 This is what Schultz had to say, go for it

00:07:56.900 We say AC

00:07:58.140 It's 72 and below

00:08:00.620 72 degrees

00:08:03.580 And below

00:08:04.740 You're even a little high with that one 0.99

00:08:06.340 But I'll let you rot

00:08:07.500 I know Zoran was saying keep it at 78

00:08:10.680 Easy

00:08:11.640 This is America

00:08:14.460 He was feeling a little too good.

00:08:15.560 Nick's at five.

00:08:16.320 He was like off the high.

00:08:17.620 He's like, oh, we don't need it.

00:08:18.560 But he was wild.

00:08:19.160 Getting a little hotter than the caller. 1.00

00:08:20.500 I put my shit to 64 just to spite him even suggesting such a thing. 0.99

00:08:24.940 RAC blew out immediately. 1.00

00:08:27.160 It was cold for a little bit.

00:08:28.300 It was cold for a little bit. 1.00

00:08:29.820 He blew the fuck out. 0.99

00:08:31.140 So you can pause it right there. 0.99

00:08:32.880 I mean, listen, this is how it works.

00:08:34.800 You can, you can, I like certain people's personalities.

00:08:40.320 I don't have to like your ideas.

00:08:42.380 one could like and say

00:08:44.500 you know I like Momdani's personality

00:08:46.240 let's just say maybe Andrew likes Momdani's personality

00:08:48.760 but not policies

00:08:50.320 no matter how much I like you it doesn't mean I have to

00:08:52.340 support your policies and now

00:08:54.360 it's hitting the city and now

00:08:56.460 you're seeing things that they

00:08:58.440 would do how that's going to impact so

00:08:59.960 what I'm looking forward to seeing is

00:09:02.520 how a lot of the people that were

00:09:04.400 supporting this guy are now going to come out and say 0.99

00:09:06.460 holy shit what the hell is going 0.99

00:09:08.480 on are we going to sit here and just 0.99

00:09:10.400 take it and I don't know if you guys are watching

00:09:12.320 what happened while they're talking about you know millionaires and billionaires and all this

00:09:16.240 stuff guess who's given themselves the biggest raise oh mom donnie comes out and says they're

00:09:21.660 giving themselves he's giving himself an 18.2 percent raise that's smart that's kind of fair

00:09:27.040 right it's not great you get to pick and choose how much taxpayers should give you money i'm going

00:09:31.940 to give myself an 18.2 percent raise go a little bit lower bill ackman's uh zoom in a little bit

00:09:37.560 if you can. Billionaire Bill Ackman questions New York City's Momdani on Tuesday after a mayor

00:09:42.000 appointed commission recommended an 18.2% salary increase for the mayor, but that's a mayor

00:09:47.920 appointed commission. So, hey, Vinny, can you please, I'm going to have my wife appoint her

00:09:54.020 as the commission to dictate how much of a raise I deserve is what I'm going to do. So what did my

00:09:59.640 wife say I deserve? I think she said, you've done such a good job taxing everybody and ruined New 0.89

00:10:04.480 York City that I think we should raise your salary by 18.2%. Oh my God. Well, I didn't,

00:10:08.820 I didn't choose the raise. It's a mayor appointed commission that chose this raise. You know,

00:10:14.240 Mondani's appointed advisor commission is recommending an 18.2% raise for himself and

00:10:18.260 other elected officials because of inflation. Yet his self-appointed rent guidelines board,

00:10:24.700 which is supposed to consider inflation in setting rents, froze rents for two years,

00:10:30.360 Ackman wrote on X, a question for mayor.

00:10:32.800 How is this fair or appropriate?

00:10:35.060 This is the part with contradictions coming up.

00:10:37.000 Vinny, where are you at with this?

00:10:38.040 You're a New York guy.

00:10:39.140 Yeah, but these are like, okay, with all these people,

00:10:42.240 with everybody that's disappointed now, like Andrew and everybody,

00:10:45.560 I know it's just, it's something small, but it's the air condition.

00:10:48.540 I know he's being, it's funny and I get it. 1.00

00:10:50.160 He's a comedian, but do you really think these people were that dumb 0.99

00:10:53.520 not to know what a freaking self-described socialist communist supporter of freaking 1.00

00:11:01.220 terrorists are you guys surprised like that you can't be that dumb you're educated you guys are 1.00

00:11:06.600 smart and remember it was like i'll pay the one percent i'll pay the two percent it keeps going 0.99

00:11:11.380 up they're paying themselves money and then when when people in his office are trying to meet

00:11:16.160 with the ambassador of iran like what and it was made an error what are you talking about this is

00:11:22.620 one of one of if not america's biggest enemies what are you trying to meet and if it wasn't for

00:11:28.160 the state department tom finding out if this was a democrat run country department of justice ran

00:11:33.460 by democrats they wouldn't care and what are you meeting about what are you talking about and connor

00:11:37.800 said something earlier today that that kind of hit me pat when he said you're watching like a soft

00:11:42.520 secession happening in new york right now because mom donnie is acting like new york has its own

00:11:48.100 country with its own foreign policy its own immigration policy own economic policy unless 0.99

00:11:53.020 the federal government they need money then they go to the feds okay the goal isn't to work with 0.78

00:11:58.220 the rest of america they're trying to take this one of the biggest cities the freaking city that

00:12:03.200 never sleeps they're ruining this plate pat and they're fighting against this and when i tell

00:12:08.300 people like this is the enemy from within and i'm telling you guys right now it's not an existential

00:12:15.500 it's not happening right now but slowly start watching what these people are doing they hate 0.69

00:12:20.900 america i watch an old clip of rashida talib and f you mother effers enough they hate this country

00:12:27.400 and if you're too blind to see it and you keep supporting and saying no they're they're caring

00:12:32.260 for the little person they don't give a damn because their morals their beliefs don't align 0.99

00:12:37.100 with ours they don't i'm sorry they hate this country all of them talk crap about this country 0.84

00:12:42.020 and they're putting policies and people in charge 0.80

00:12:44.020 to destroy us from within.

00:12:45.620 People keep saying the enemy's at the gate.

00:12:47.220 They're not at the gate.

00:12:48.140 They're inside of the couch.

00:12:49.320 They're in the front yard.

00:12:50.220 They're sitting on your couch.

00:12:51.600 For sure they are.

00:12:52.420 For sure they are.

00:12:53.220 Don't let it fool you.

00:12:54.300 And by the way, here's what I want you to think about.

00:12:56.740 Question for you guys.

00:12:57.680 And while I'm doing this, I want you to search this.

00:12:59.540 Okay?

00:12:59.760 Okay.

00:13:00.500 Can you go back to the chart of...

00:13:02.080 Okay, don't even go to it.

00:13:03.500 They're trying to raise the mayor's salary to what?

00:13:05.600 18.2%.

00:13:06.440 18.2%.

00:13:06.940 All right.

00:13:07.420 Do you know what the salary of the mayor is right now?

00:13:11.420 $200,000, $300,000.

00:13:12.820 $258,000.

00:13:13.940 The 18.2% put him around $300,000.

00:13:16.700 Can you pull that chart up?

00:13:18.180 Okay, so if you look at that right there, 258, with the new raise, he would be at 305.

00:13:25.080 The public advocate would go from 184 to 218.

00:13:29.320 The comptroller goes from 209 to 247.

00:13:32.980 And then the borough president goes from 179 to 212.

00:13:36.620 Okay?

00:13:37.220 Now, here's a question for you.

00:13:38.860 Whose job is a bigger job?

00:13:40.320 Mayors or J.D. Vance?

00:13:42.160 J.D. Vance.

00:13:42.940 Whose job is a bigger job?

00:13:44.440 Mayor Mamdani's or Pete Hexet's?

00:13:47.600 Pete Hexet.

00:13:48.300 How about Marco Rubio or Mamdani? 0.97

00:13:49.760 Marco, it's not even a deal. 0.57

00:13:50.700 Guess what?

00:13:51.220 He makes more money than all three of them.

00:13:53.840 Weird.

00:13:54.420 Let me say the number here for you.

00:13:56.020 Do you know the vice president's salary is $235,100?

00:14:00.440 Mamdani makes more money than him. 0.53

00:14:01.940 Do you know the secretary of state, Marco Rubio, makes $250,000?

00:14:07.620 Mamdani, mayor of New York City, makes more money than him.

00:14:10.060 Do you know the Secretary of Defense, Pete Hexet, his salary is $250,000.

00:14:14.240 Mamdani makes $8,000 more per year than the Secretary of State and the Secretary of Defense.

00:14:22.900 And he makes $25,000 more per year than the Vice President of the United States.

00:14:29.900 That's wild.

00:14:30.440 Did you just hear what I just said, right?

00:14:32.540 I can't believe it.

00:14:33.200 A job of a mayor makes more money than all these other guys and what they're doing.

00:14:37.680 So who's got more heavy weight?

00:14:39.980 right there if you look at it to verify jd vice president 235 gold list secretary of state 250

00:14:45.460 secretary defense 221 but now it's at 250 600 mom donnie makes more money than all of these guys

00:14:53.640 with the job that he has and they still want to take into 320 and your thoughts before we go to

00:14:58.540 the next story pbd you just mentioned that mom donnie his salary is going to be 305 305 000 i

00:15:05.720 think is that what you said so there's a there's a story behind the story there thank you mom donnie

00:15:10.680 for everything you're doing i always give you credit your three hundred and five thousand

00:15:13.820 salary is basically taking new york to record high rent we can roll the numbers and everybody's

00:15:19.240 moving to the 305 mia because of you so i just want to thank you mom donnie for everything you're

00:15:24.220 doing did you see the news that rent is at an all-time high yeah if you want to pull that up

00:15:28.540 said it's $5,300. It's almost like they don't understand supply and demand when there's not

00:15:36.000 enough housing and there's high demand because people want to live in the city. And then you

00:15:39.740 implement this rent freeze and then the owners of these properties are basically saying, yeah,

00:15:45.960 we're not going to fix this up because they can't charge any more rent. So all of a sudden you have

00:15:49.060 this stalemate and then rent becomes so freaking expensive. Meanwhile, you go to any other random

00:15:54.300 city in america the average u.s rent you know want to know what it is it's 1600 you were asking people

00:15:59.900 what the average rent was during the florida debate i think it was jay collins they got that

00:16:03.620 right but at the end of the day mom donnie keep doing what you're doing keep basically

00:16:09.100 marginizing the italians and the jews and sending out of new york manhattan average rent right now
