00:00:00.000
New York City mayor on the Democratic primary, Mamdani, beats Andrew Cuomo.
00:00:10.060
He's a 33-year-old former rapper who said a lot of weird things.
00:00:14.040
He says he's going to make childcare free for everybody, buses free for everybody.
00:00:17.740
There's a lot of things that's going to be given free.
00:00:19.960
He's a communist. Some call him a socialist, Muslim.
00:00:24.480
They're calling New York that could be possibly the next London.
00:00:27.460
Then New York could turn into the next Dearborn, could turn into the next Detroit.
00:00:32.800
It is so bad with what they're talking about with New York that even Ryan Serhant, who is the big real estate influencer,
00:00:40.040
this is the type of guy that puts up properties for sale in New York for $200-plus million.
00:00:46.280
That's who those clients want to do business with.
00:00:49.640
Luxury real estate broker says wealthy New Yorkers are already looking to flee after Zoran Mamdani's primary win.
00:00:58.400
Rob, if you can go to the next page on that Instagram post.
00:01:01.860
Within minutes of Zoran Mamdani clenching the Democratic nomination Tuesday night,
00:01:07.140
real estate agents like Ryan Serhant were flooded with calls from clients looking to walk away from deals to buy apartments in New York City.
00:01:15.860
So imagine I made an offer on a property that I'm buying, $5, $10, $15, $20, $30 million.
00:01:22.720
Imagine a realtor is about to make $200,000 in commission, $50,000 in commission, $400,000 in commission.
00:01:31.060
If this takes place, if you want to go to the next slide, Rob, if you can, on that Instagram post.
00:01:34.400
My number one job, he says, will be moving people from New York to Florida.
00:01:40.060
Again, based on the results, clients are going to hold off on making any kind of investment in New York City.
00:01:47.040
By the way, he does not benefit from saying this.
00:01:50.340
You guys understand, like his business is New York business.
00:01:53.080
He doesn't benefit from saying something like this.
00:01:55.420
He wants people to stay in New York to do well, but at the same time, it benefits him as well if people leave because they're buying and selling.
00:02:00.820
Rob, if you want to go to the last slide, if there is one.
00:02:05.600
Now, why are so many business owners, entrepreneurs concerned about what's going on here with Mamdani?
00:02:13.000
Rob, can you put up the video clip about Mamdani winning and what happened there with the primaries?
00:02:19.440
This is Eric Adams, okay, Mayor Eric Adams, who says, you know, all the claims that Mamdani is making of what he's going to do to New York,
00:02:31.520
Mr. Mayor, it's not just defund the police, this candidate, Democratic Socialist.
00:02:38.340
He wants city-run grocery stores, social workers to replace the police because that's going to help.
00:02:43.240
He wants $60 billion of debt fund for affordable housing.
00:02:47.200
He wants free buses, no cost for child care, baby baskets for newborns, and a $30 minimum wage.
00:03:08.140
He wants to raise tax on 1 percent of New York's high-income earners.
00:03:11.620
As the mayor, you don't have the authority to do that.
00:03:23.760
He doesn't understand the power of government and how you must make sure you improve your economy, raise the standard of living.
00:03:35.560
And I'm looking forward to being on the campaign trail and showing New Yorkers we can't go backwards.
00:03:42.640
Vinny, you're somebody that lived in New York for quite some time.
00:03:52.480
When you see this happening in New York, one, how do you feel about Momdani?
00:03:56.600
Do you think his chances are high that he could possibly win, or do you think Mayor Adams is going to come back and win?
00:04:01.120
Well, first of all, yesterday – well, on Tuesday we were talking about it.
00:04:07.880
But just to add a couple more things that he's previously called for, abolishing NYPD, abolishing prisons, abolishing medical bills, abolishing private health care insurance, banning all guns.
00:04:20.140
I want you guys – I mean, even though New York is pretty strict, legalizing sex work, safe injection sites, because that works in San Francisco, right, Tom?
00:04:34.160
Ending cash bail, decriminalizing drug possession, ending sentencing enhancements, and ending all cooperation with ICE.
00:04:40.200
So, meaning the Sanctuary City thing, they want nothing with ICE to have to do with it.
00:04:47.560
And, I mean, just the pool of leadership from New York, I know I mentioned on Tuesday, but what the hell is going on?
00:04:59.340
Is that – like, do you just give up and do you bounce?
00:05:01.560
Why don't those people, Pat, who have money, donate and help and try to fund and support the opposition?
00:05:08.480
Because that – we talked about it and we warned people.
00:05:14.700
Every single thing on my feed about Europe is negative.
00:05:18.820
And it's the migrants that are in there that are causing freaking ruckus, punching people in the face, you know, robbing people, stabbing people, beating the shit out of kids.
00:05:26.700
But – and I want to say something, Pat, and I think it was Mayor Suarez said something along the lines of finding a loophole or something where if you're a communist and you're seriously supporting communists, you can't run for public office.
00:05:42.840
And this goes all the way to the top, which includes him and this type of office, Pat.
00:05:54.100
The founders believed our rights came from God.
00:06:00.480
So that's what makes America great, and that's what makes us different.
00:06:13.260
Communism and this Marxist crap idea – and this is me.
00:06:17.640
I think, Tom, that we need to – I don't know how it would happen, but do something where even the president, Pat, only Christians – and I'm being real – can be the president of the United States.
00:06:30.340
Our freedoms came from the cross, not Karl Marx.
00:06:38.480
If this – and by being that guy where this is a nation founded on Christian values –
00:06:42.640
You're right, but listen, the beautiful thing about people like this is contradictions eventually get exposed.
00:06:50.300
He says, this virus is laying bare the severe shortcomings of capitalism.
00:06:59.180
You went from hating capitalism to becoming a capitalist, zero to 60 to capitalist in a couple seconds.
00:07:07.800
You get exposed on the ideology and philosophies people like this have.
00:07:11.260
Adam, what are your thoughts on this one, what's happened in New York City with Mamdani winning?
00:07:41.260
This is something that we'll see if it sticks to Mamdani when it comes to November.
00:07:59.000
So I do think he'll win, and I'll tell you why.
00:08:03.000
This is not a – people are looking at him as he's the problem.
00:08:10.980
One thing we know for sure is New York is done with the Cuomos.
00:08:15.960
I think Chris Cuomo is doing a great job right now on News Nation.
00:08:22.420
There's three reasons that Zoran won, and we should pay attention to the reasons why.
00:08:26.840
Number one, he was the exact opposite of what Cuomo was.
00:08:34.200
Cuomo, as funny as it is, he's not establishment, but he's at least viewed as anti-establishment
00:08:42.320
So number two, when someone tells you who they are, believe them.
00:08:48.460
He co-founded, I believe, the Palestinian Students for Justice.
00:08:57.400
He started a grassroots, youthful, diverse movement in New York City, and this is who
00:09:13.420
There's 0% chance in Miami where Cubans came to flee communism and socialism.
00:09:21.940
This is why you see all the memes about people basically moving to Miami.
00:09:25.220
What's the biggest reason they're moving to Miami?
00:09:34.560
Affordability crisis in New York is the number one in the country as far as what you're paying,
00:09:39.780
as far as percentage of your income towards housing.
00:09:43.200
That's why he's using all the typical tricks that a socialist and a communist uses.
00:09:59.560
We'll see if Eric Adams can mount something, but unless he becomes authentic and learns
00:10:04.060
how to get with the youth, Mondani might be the newest mayor of New York City.
00:10:12.820
One, because New Yorkers have stood up for a city they can afford.
00:10:17.520
A city where they can do more than just struggle.
00:10:21.200
And it's where the mayor will use their power to reject Donald Trump's fascism, to stop mass
00:10:32.660
What is that one scene in the movie where he says, I don't know why I'm screaming.
00:10:37.300
I'm just trying to, like, he says he's fighting Trump's fascism, right?
00:10:43.420
To stop mass ice agents from deporting our neighbors.
00:10:47.800
So this is what Tom Holman had to say about this, because you know how he went up and screaming
00:10:53.620
about the fact that, hey, you can't, this is not fair what you're doing to immigrants.
00:10:59.020
The mayor candidate, he hasn't won yet, but he won the Democratic primary, Zorane Mamdani.
00:11:04.060
So he's saying, I mean, this is incredible, he's vowed to kick the, quote, fascist ice
00:11:13.760
Because I would guess there are going to be a lot of criminals and Iranian cells and whatnot
00:11:23.320
Governor Law jumps him every day, every hour, every minute.
00:11:29.540
Matter of fact, because this is a sanctuary city, President Trump made it clear a week
00:11:34.380
We're going double down and triple down sanctuary cities.
00:11:37.100
If we can't arrest a bad guy in a county jail, one agent arresting one bad guy, they release
00:11:41.500
him in the streets like New York does every day, we've got to send a whole team to look
00:11:46.500
And not only that, we're going to send additional teams to look for all the people they arrest.
00:11:50.700
We're going to concentrate on sanctuary cities because we know they're releasing public
00:11:54.000
safety threats and national security threats back to the street.
00:11:57.900
So we don't have that problem in Florida where most sheriffs work for us.
00:12:00.880
So we're going to double up and triple up on New York.
00:12:03.100
And not only are we going to send more agents to the neighborhood, we're going to increase
00:12:07.980
If we can't arrest them in the jail, you're going to force them in the neighborhood, then
00:12:11.960
So by the way, New Yorkers who are possibly thinking about staying, they're staying because
00:12:17.180
They're relying on the federal government to do their part.
00:12:26.000
I believe the number is six when I looked at it yesterday, but it could be three and
00:12:55.240
And then Nadia Mohammed is St. Louis Park, Minnesota.
00:13:09.840
And of which, of the five, three are from Minnesota.
00:13:14.560
If this goes the way it does, Tom, say he wins.
00:13:34.700
We just saw one of the largest, most influential realtors in New York saying,
00:13:41.280
And a deal in New York City is a million, two million dollar deal on the low end for condos and nice apartments and things like that.
00:13:52.680
There is a great contradiction that happened in New York City.
00:13:55.780
They had a large rally, one of the larger rallies.
00:14:03.340
But if you listen to this guy and you listen to everything, you take the guns away from the citizens.
00:14:08.460
And by the way, there was a shooting at a church.
00:14:12.420
But then a highly trained, licensed citizen security guard takes out the threat.
00:14:22.680
But now you're going to take guns away from the citizens, you're going to defund the police, and you're going to do all the rest of these things, make it free.
00:14:28.740
And when that devolves, that will devolve very, very quickly.
00:14:34.400
The people can't rise up because the people are not armed just to protect their homes.
00:14:39.620
You get an authoritarian Muslim that's the mayor of your city.
00:14:44.700
There are very real things that are happening right now.
00:14:48.860
If he tries to get the $30 minimum wage through, Eric Adams was on a morning show on Fox talking about things.
00:15:01.820
So as mayor of New York, this is not an overreaction.
00:15:07.280
This could head toward Dearborn very, very, very quickly.
00:15:10.560
And I just asked New Yorkers, those of you that voted for him, look down the list of things and ask yourself very honestly, where do you think the outcome is at?
00:15:20.420
Does the mayor become a Muslim authoritarian figure?
00:15:24.500
But you just marched in the streets over the past weekend and said no authoritarianism.
00:15:30.080
By the way, you know what's interesting about this, Tom?
00:15:31.960
Now, I posted something on Twitter and I said, New York may have gotten more conservative in the 2024 election, but the Democratic Party moved further left.
00:15:45.260
So as left as they were, they didn't decide to come to the center.
00:15:50.560
They're like, no, let's go a little bit more to the left.
00:15:56.680
And you know what's the crazy thing about businessmen that live in your community?
00:16:06.800
Those who make money, those who are successful.
00:16:09.040
In every space, those are the people that always get hated the most.
00:16:15.260
Probably the guy with the most money or the gal with the most money.
00:16:20.140
People can't stand success because they're envious of it until eventually, what happens?
00:16:32.680
I was at an event in St. Regis with a bunch of wealthy people that are billionaires.
00:16:37.040
And the entire eight-hour meeting, 40% of the meeting, everyone brought up Ken Griffin.
00:16:46.600
But you know we're going to recover from Ken Griffin.
00:16:48.120
Ken Griffin, it's like the entire meeting was about Ken Griffin.
00:16:50.700
Okay, so now all these people that you guys hate in New York that are the business owners,
00:16:55.480
the builders, the billionaires, you don't think they have a hundred other places to go to?
00:16:59.400
It's as if every person that voted for Mamdoni in New York needs to go out there and buy the book,
00:17:08.140
Go read the book and read the history of what happens when you push these types of guys out.
00:17:16.160
But again, we'll see what will happen by November between now and then.
00:17:20.980
And since they're both kind of Democratic Party, but he went to the independent side,
00:17:24.820
who knows if an independent can win in New York?
00:17:27.520
Folks, if you're watching this, one of the things that is very important in a time like this,
00:17:34.220
