Trump calls out Mamdani's very angry acceptance speech, warns communism never worked anywhere.
00:00:11.520
I'm so torn because I would like to see the new mayor do well because I love New York.
00:00:18.240
When I left New York for Washington, New York was doing really well, but there were some bad signs.
00:00:27.300
So the signs of de Blasio, that was the beginning and it was bad.
00:00:32.080
This one, we're going to look for a thousand years.
00:00:35.540
Communism has not worked to just communism or the concept of communism has not worked.
00:00:46.240
Yeah, I thought it was a very angry speech, certainly angry toward me.
00:00:51.500
You know, I'm the one that sort of has to approve a lot of things coming to him.
00:01:03.400
On the Democrat side, you didn't see like this unified cheering section.
00:01:10.340
And Trump is leading what a lot of people are saying.
00:01:13.220
I mean, in the story rundown that you just did, you know, five minutes ago, Pat, four minutes ago,
00:01:18.180
there's all of these things where people are talking about, I'm upset, I'm leaving, I'm moving out, people in Miami.
00:01:30.680
You may be upset, but how you voted has consequences.
00:01:37.040
And I think, if anything, the president was measured and showing some leadership here, not going off the way we know Trump can go off.
00:01:47.360
Like, it's a very weird combination of the next video I'm going to be showing you guys.
00:01:52.880
Next video is a video of Scary Moochie, who is not a fan of the president.
00:01:58.100
But watch what he said about Mamdani, and it teaches a little bit of history here about what happened to New York with a mayor in the 60s
00:02:06.720
and how long it took for New York City to recover from it.
00:02:16.720
In exchange for free buses and free health care and free child care.
00:02:20.760
But the last time they did that, the city and the state lost 600,000 top people.
00:02:26.060
They moved into places like Texas and Florida, and they're spending 185 days in those areas and less time in New York.
00:02:33.840
And so that hurts the whole economic ecosystem.
00:02:36.460
So he could do that, but he's got to get Governor Hochul's approval.
00:02:39.180
He's got to get the Assembly and the State Senate to do that in Albany.
00:02:44.120
If you examine his campaign, it's very similar to John Lindsay's campaign in the late 1960s.
00:02:51.660
But what he did was he borrowed a tremendous amount of money to put through a lot of free services.
00:02:59.120
And by 1975, his successor, Mayor Abraham Beam, was stuck in a financial crisis.
00:03:04.880
And they had to effectively declare bankruptcy for the city and then restructure the city.
00:03:10.600
It wasn't until 1990 that the city actually started healing itself.
00:03:14.840
People from Wall Street that have met with the new mayor, the mayor-elect, are saying that he's arrogant.
00:03:22.140
What do you think about what Scaramucci said there?
00:03:34.560
We were going from Connecticut, took a bus into New York to go to two museums, Museum of Natural History.
00:03:42.780
And my mom was worried about it because New York was on one side of New York were these things like museums.
00:03:49.120
But the other side of New York was like a suss pool.
00:03:51.540
There was this thing called 42nd Street, and if you look up 42nd Street in the 70s, it was a suss pool.
00:03:57.980
It was worse than Main Street Amsterdam with prostitution and peep shows and pornography advertised right on the street.
00:04:12.700
And this is 75, and that's exactly when Mayor Beam came in.
00:04:15.780
And I remember as a freshman in high school sitting in Connecticut, and we had like an economics and sociology course, and they were talking about the plight of New York City, that this incredible city and it's all this thing that was in such trouble.
00:04:35.800
And Scaramucci there can sometimes be very blustery, but he is correctly talking about what happened in the 60s.
00:04:44.480
And all of a sudden, 1975, Mayor Beam inherited this mess.
00:04:51.680
It took until the 90s to get the city on its feet.
00:04:55.000
And then remember, Rudy Giuliani took it up a level and went after the mob, went after the waterfront, and went after things, and took it up a level.
00:05:07.640
I don't know if everybody is thinking how long it's going to take to recover, but some people are just excited about it.
00:05:13.580
So as someone that is the biggest advocate for Miami, I kind of feel grateful because, you know, they say finders, keepers, losers, weepers, or, you know, one man's losses, another man's gain.
00:05:26.440
I truly believe we're about to see the decline of New York City.
00:05:30.420
And it pains me to say that because even though that I'm born and raised in Miami and I love Miami, this is where I want to be, New York City is my favorite city in the world.
00:05:41.680
New York City has something so unique about it.
00:05:44.960
And to see a self-proclaimed democratic socialist slash communist slash Islamist slash pro-Palestine terrorist sympathizer be the mayor of the home of capitalism, the home of Wall Street, the home of the New York Yankees, and we know an owner or two.
00:06:03.480
It's just, it's sad, but it also tells you that New York has to look in the mirror and say, how did we get here?
00:06:10.420
And I said this before, I think that when they did the, what was it, the organizations they did in the Wall Street thing, what do they call it exactly, Occupy Wall Street at the moment, that that movement did not dissipate.
00:06:24.520
And you have these 35 and under crowd who genuinely hate what America stands for.
00:06:32.600
And if you look at Gen Z, they empathize way more with socialism.
00:06:37.400
So we're starting to see the cracks in the vase that is New York City.
00:06:47.620
But as someone that lives in Miami, I know that realtors are salivating.
00:06:54.440
Here's what President Trump had to say when he said the, you know, turn up the volume.
00:06:58.920
When Mamdani said, President Trump, I know you're watching this.
00:07:10.700
To get to any of us, you will have to get through all of us.
00:07:19.340
It's a very dangerous statement for him to make, actually.
00:07:24.060
I think it's a very dangerous statement for him to make.
00:07:25.880
He has to be a little bit respectful of Washington.
00:07:31.260
Because if he's not, he doesn't have a chance of succeeding.
00:07:52.100
Because to me, that's a very mature diplomatic statement.
00:07:59.060
What I said last night when I said he's at level 100.
00:08:05.840
Well, first and foremost, on the Mamdani situation and how he spoke,
00:08:15.380
Did you see Van Jones when he was on whatever show he was on?
00:08:26.740
And it's people like Van Jones that got buyer's remorse
00:08:29.720
because they were talking so proud about him five minutes before, Pat.
00:08:33.340
He said, he goes, he used to be calm, warmed, and embracing.
00:08:49.640
I think the Mamdani that we saw on the campaign trail,
00:08:57.940
who was a lot more embracing, was not present in that speech.
00:09:01.060
And I think that, Mamdani, is the one you need to hear from tonight.
00:09:05.580
There are a lot of people trying to figure out,
00:09:11.940
Is he going to be more of a class warrior, even in office?
00:09:32.660
When he says, bring more people under the tent.
00:09:39.580
I was trying to think, because we saw the numbers,
00:09:44.940
Who were the majority of the people that were voting for him were who?
00:09:53.160
and the younger people that are getting promised free stuff.
00:09:57.020
And this is the third time that I'm talking about it.
00:10:02.360
All the millionaires and billionaires that Bernie Sanders talks about.
00:10:11.580
Illegals, because he's going to be soft on crime,
00:10:16.260
Number two, all the criminals, all the illegals.
00:10:19.800
Everybody wants to come, because, you know, why be in jail?
00:10:21.820
He loves illegals, because it was a sanctuary city.
00:10:33.840
And don't think for two seconds that I'm not going to criticize Muslims as well.
00:10:42.060
And if you don't think this is going to start happening, you're an idiot.
00:10:46.380
And I'm all for everybody having your religions.
00:10:48.480
They're in the middle of the street doing this type of prayer.
00:11:06.360
And if you don't think this is going to start happening more and more and more,
00:11:21.840
But I'm just telling you, Pat, I feel like this guy is going to be the beginning
00:11:25.800
and it's going to start happening more and more and more.
00:11:28.620
And I give it two years and people are going to see what New York has become.
00:11:34.520
He said this Mandami was the Mandami that we saw,
00:11:38.740
the warm and toned down a little bit during the campaign,
00:11:44.140
You need to understand, Van, the Mandami you saw here is Mandami.
00:11:49.560
That's the Mandami you didn't see during the campaign.
00:11:57.720
Now you got to open the box and see what you really bought.
00:12:00.080
And for everybody that's in New York, and I'm going to pray for you and I'm sorry.
00:12:03.620
You were like, he's all the free stuff, free buses.
00:12:18.680
Last night we made history and today we begin the work of making a new administration.
00:12:25.260
This is the period over the next few months where we build a city hall
00:12:29.580
To make New York City affordable and to make government accountable to the people.
00:12:34.120
As we prepare to govern, we'll start announcing the leaders who will help implement our agenda.
00:12:38.020
People like deputy mayors who oversee entire areas of government
00:12:41.020
and the commissioners who carry out the critical work of city agencies.
00:12:44.360
These appointments will be driven by excellence, integrity, and a hunger to solve old problems with new solutions.
00:12:50.280
Talking to organizers on the front lines of the fight to improve our city,
00:12:55.740
policy experts from around the country and the world,
00:12:57.980
and working people who know better than anyone what our neighborhoods deserve.
00:13:01.900
And this will be a period, like the campaign we ran and the city hall to come,
00:13:05.660
defined by transparency, because New Yorkers deserve a government they can trust.
00:13:17.900
Remember how I told you a few months ago to stop sending us money?
00:13:22.160
This transition requires staff, research, and an infrastructure that can reach this moment.
00:13:28.980
We're going to do this, we're going to do this, but I need your money now.
00:13:33.520
I will tell you, you know, when this is happening,
00:13:35.960
the biggest question is what level of action families will take.
00:13:46.720
We're talking, they're talking to us about what's going on in New York City.
00:13:51.460
Lady's got a 65 unit apartment that her father gave to her in her inheritance that she took over.
00:13:59.860
She says, you know what some of the laws were in New York?
00:14:04.760
And they're like, no, I don't have to pay rent.
00:14:07.520
Based on the new laws that they have, I don't have to pay rent.
00:14:14.820
And if you can go to like the 42nd mark when I forward this to you,
00:14:19.220
it's a video of him saying he's highlighting this apartment where the owner is not taking care of the tenants,
00:14:27.800
You know, there are owners that don't take care of the tenants,
00:14:33.300
and the tenants have the choice to leave to go to a different place.
00:14:38.200
But watch what he says, which is the most powerful part, folks.
00:14:41.860
And if you can fast forward, Rob, and go to right about there.
00:14:48.300
The mayor's office to protect tenants, bringing code enforcement under one roof,
00:14:53.140
and making sure that agencies are working together to hold bad landlords accountable.
00:14:57.580
Starting on day one, we will expand the city's special enforcement programs,
00:15:03.900
and tripling them for conditions that are immediately dangerous.
00:15:07.160
And when a really bad landlord, like this guy, refuses to fix it,
00:15:11.140
the city's going to step in, make the repairs, and send them to the building.
00:15:15.040
If that doesn't work, the city's taking over the building.
00:15:17.480
We're putting the worst landlords out of business.
00:15:29.600
the city's going to step in, make the repairs, and send them to the building.
00:15:33.240
If that doesn't work, the city's taking over the building.
00:15:36.000
We're putting the worst landlords out of business.
00:15:38.000
And we're going to transform 311 by bringing the latest in cutting-edge technology.
00:15:46.140
And he says, we're going to take over the building.
00:15:50.800
So you mean like seize the means of production like communists?
00:16:08.460
Challenge is, he's going to need Albany to get some of this stuff done.
00:16:15.660
What's the likelihood of Hochul agreeing to the 2% increase on the rich?
00:16:24.340
Does he need her help also to be able to increase the corporate taxes?
00:16:31.980
And I'm diving into it with Brandon so that we can really know step by step what he can and can't do.
00:16:37.200
Some of the things he can do with the stroke of a pen, similar to our president's executive order.
00:16:45.820
And remember that one mayor that Scaramucci was talking about, Lindsey?
00:16:52.200
Pre-1971, you know, this guy apparently used to be a Republican guy.
00:17:00.000
Then he became a Democrat and he stayed with the party.
00:17:04.140
Go down a little bit on his political affiliation.
00:17:08.140
1971, during his term as a mayor, Lindsey switched from the Republican Party to the Democratic Party.
00:17:12.380
Same year, he launched a brief unsuccessful bid for Democratic presidential nomination.
00:17:16.620
In 1980, he made an unsuccessful bid for Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate.
00:17:22.540
The only difference with this guy is he wasn't a, you know, a Muslim himself.
00:17:35.720
The Buckley School, highly liberal, St. Paul's and Yale.
00:17:42.060
If you've got big plans for 2026 and you've never written a business plan out, or you've written it, but it's not properly structured, you want some structure for it, that's why I wrote this book, Choose Your Enemies Wisely.
00:17:53.060
If you haven't read it yet, click on a link below, place an order.
00:17:57.400
So if you want a signed copy of Choose Your Enemies Wisely, it's never a better time to read a book on business planning.
00:18:08.460
Rob, we'll put the link below if you don't mind.
00:18:11.360
I've signed, as well as the other copies of the books that we have.
00:18:14.280
And on top of that, Rob, also put the link to Business Planning Workshop.
00:18:20.480
Read the book, then attend the Business Planning Workshop.
00:18:26.080
Last night, we were at this America Business Forum.
00:18:29.040
I was on stage with Brett Baer, and we're watching all the people that are there.
00:18:32.400
The types of business owners, Jeff Bezos, Jamie Dimon goes before me, and then Steve Witkoff is there.
00:18:37.080
Then you have Serena Williams literally goes right after me.
00:18:48.040
By the way, everybody in that place was talking about what's going to be happening in 2026.
00:18:53.080
So a lot of people behind closed doors are ecstatic about 2026.
00:18:57.700
