00:00:00.000
If Mamdani wins, okay, this is a big if, but let's just say if Mamdani wins.
00:00:07.260
People cannot just think it's not going to happen.
00:00:09.160
Like, you know, sometimes in elections, you know how people say,
00:00:13.140
oh, we have, it's a slam dunk, it's going to be done.
00:00:18.780
If Mamdani wins, what happens to New York City?
00:00:24.220
Well, first of all, and I agree with you about slam dunks,
00:00:27.300
because Andrew Yang was walking around with a tape measure,
00:00:37.380
And I think that if his policies are put in place, if his policies are put in place,
00:00:42.620
and no matter who a candidate is, if you have those policies that are put in place,
00:00:57.900
It's going to hurt them if they can never raise rent,
00:01:02.240
although rent rolls are not meeting the repair.
00:01:04.860
And it's going to hurt poorer communities because buildings are going to fall into disrepair.
00:01:09.600
We saw this before in the 70s and 80s when rent rolls were not reaching what it cost to run a building.
00:01:17.820
It's going to hurt public safety, defunding police.
00:01:20.740
He just announced the other day he's not going to send police officers to respond to domestic violence issues.
00:01:27.640
Officer Maura and Rivera, two officers that died in the beginning of my administration,
00:01:36.720
One of the most dangerous calls a police officer can go on is a domestic violence call.
00:01:42.300
You send civilians there, you are putting their lives in jeopardy.
00:01:46.600
It hurts public safety to empty out Rikers Island where you have some of the most dangerous criminals that are there.
00:01:53.360
If they're on Rikers Island, when you look at many of his projects that he's put in place,
00:02:01.240
the policies are going to hurt New Yorkers, and it's going to hurt low-income New Yorkers,
00:02:08.060
working-class New Yorkers, those who he stayed, he represent.
00:02:11.200
Did you see this young lady who was a former AOC?
00:02:18.280
I would just love for the audience to see this.
00:02:20.980
Do you know who she is or you don't know who she is?
00:02:24.620
So New York City just nominated this guy, Zoran Mamdani,
00:02:29.000
who is a socialist, to represent them for the mayor's election.
00:02:32.680
And I, if I was 25, I would be obsessed with Zoran.
00:02:36.180
When I was 25, I was actually 26, 27, I helped get AOC elected.
00:02:41.220
I made a video for her campaign that went super viral.
00:02:43.760
I met her a ton of times, and I was a huge AOC person.
00:02:47.140
Now I'm 35, and like every stereotypical person I've grown up,
00:02:50.680
and I've learned that these feel-good politics of promising free food,
00:02:54.980
free college, free apartments, like you get free, you get free, you get free.
00:02:59.880
You feel, as a young person, when your frontal lobe is not fully developed,
00:03:03.200
and you're thinking more in black and white, that this is going to be good, right?
00:03:07.380
You're indoctrinated as a young person in America to believe that capitalism is bad
00:03:12.080
and all your problems are because of these evil business owners.
00:03:14.680
But I have to warn young people who are caught up in the Mamdani vibe
00:03:18.720
is that the road to hell is paved with good intentions,
00:03:21.460
and we've seen time and time again in countries and cities
00:03:24.800
that adopt these socialist programs is that the rich people
00:03:27.580
who are going to pay for them are going to leave because of high taxes,
00:03:31.140
and then we just get more taxes and less for it.
00:03:35.620
And one example of this on a smaller scale is in New York in 2019,
00:03:39.140
there was a law that was passed by the State House, all Democrats,
00:03:43.360
to pause rent stabilization on, sorry, to pause rent hikes
00:03:47.840
on rent-stabilized departments so they could no longer rent hike.
00:03:51.700
So say, for example, an apartment is rent-stabilized.
00:03:57.820
Landlords, because of this law, can only raise the rent by 2%.
00:04:01.820
So say in 1970, someone was paying $200 a month.
00:04:05.740
You're now going to be paying $220 a month in 2025.
00:04:08.140
But the problem is that rent-stabilized apartment needs to be renovated
00:04:13.400
So because of this law, what's happened is now there are tens of thousands
00:04:16.360
of empty apartments in New York that are rent-stabilized
00:04:19.660
that the landlords are not renovating because they know they cannot make their money back
00:04:24.660
And again, these landlords are not, like, evil people.
00:04:26.700
And when you're indoctrinated into this sort of leftist, oppressor, oppressed mindset,
00:04:54.480
We should think about, you know, positivity of the future.
00:04:59.300
But running a city, you have to make tough choices.
00:05:02.600
And if you start saying a small property owner, $700,000 we have in our city,
00:05:09.220
what happens is working-class people will see the quality of their housing go down.
00:05:16.800
We did this before, you know, where you had landlords walking away from their property,
00:05:25.020
And so what she just stated is that we should all remain optimistic.
00:05:30.100
We should all, you know, want great things, you know.
00:05:36.120
You know, and academic leaders that never experienced Miss Mill cramps don't really know what it's like.
00:05:42.500
And so just think about your journey, you know, they're looking at you now.
00:05:51.700
And when people see just your glory and don't realize your story,
00:05:56.140
growing up dyslexic was painful for me, undiagnosed until I got to college.
00:06:01.180
You know, growing up on the verge of homelessness, of, you know, my mom used to give us,
00:06:06.760
It was six plastic bags full of clothing, change of clothing for the day
00:06:12.120
because she thought we were going to come home and we were going to be thrown out.
00:06:15.160
I used to turn that corner and my stomach would have butterflies in it
00:06:19.440
because I would be humiliated when the marshals were out there.
00:06:22.260
And any time I saw a U-Haul truck on the block, I was like, darn it, they're throwing us out.
00:06:28.080
That makes you think about what people are going through.
00:06:31.180
And so when you live the luxury life, the reason he thinks about giving everything away for free
00:06:39.380
Was he raised with a silver spoon in his mouth?
00:06:49.440
This academic elitism is not how you run a city.
00:06:57.860
She would be somebody I'd bring on the team if I was you.
00:07:00.280
I'd find out who it is and I would, matter of fact, maybe reach out to them.
00:07:09.860
So New York City, 9-11, a day we'll never forget, right?
00:07:21.620
I went down to Ground Zero that night and that was a sight that really tore us apart.
00:07:28.720
It was one of those days that we'll never forget for the rest of our lives.
00:07:35.000
Here's Bill Ackman posting something about Mamdani's father.
00:07:39.680
And he says, Zohran Mamdani, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.
00:07:46.180
These are words from his father, a current professor at Columbia.
00:07:51.100
A school he tried to go to where on his application he said he's African American, black, and Asian.
00:07:57.020
Rob, if you can click on the picture so I can just read it.
00:08:00.060
Clearly the prime objective of suicide bombers is not to terminate his or her own life, but that of others defined as enemies.
00:08:07.060
We need to recognize the suicide bomber, first and foremost, as a category of soldier.
00:08:12.020
Does not the suicide bomber join both aspects of our humanity, particularly as it has been fashioned by political modernity in that we are willing to subordinate life, both our own and that of others?
00:08:29.280
Suicide bombing needs to be understood as a feature of modern political violence rather than stigmatized as a mark of barbarism.
00:08:37.920
The danger of moral discussion of itself, how can any culture condone suicide, is that it quickly turns into a replay of culture talk, stereotyping, et cetera, et cetera.
00:08:50.560
Well, and I think that's what's important in this election, because you and I both know that there are difference of opinions, how people view life and how they see life.
00:09:04.700
And your difference of opinion doesn't make you good or bad.
00:09:14.380
And the reason I don't support it doesn't mean there's not going to be others that support it.
00:09:19.980
But the question we need to ask as New Yorkers right now, does the majority of New Yorkers support that?
00:09:28.360
Or does the majority of New Yorkers believe suicide bombings are terrorists, that Hamas is a terrorist group, that not calling or stating global infidata is wrong?
00:09:46.080
Do we support the police or we don't support law enforcement?
00:09:49.480
Do we want people to commit crimes to serve their time or do we want to let them out on the street?
00:09:54.060
Do we want our high-income earners to stay here, to pay their taxes, to help with our city, or we don't?
00:10:00.100
So we're just going to—that's the beauty of running against him.
00:10:05.940
You know, I'm just going to lay out my case for the future of the city to continue to create opportunities for working-class people in a safe environment.
00:10:17.180
And New Yorkers are going to have to make the determination.
00:10:22.580
Now we're going to find out what the other 91 percent want.
00:10:25.340
This is very serious because 9-11, when it happened, it happened to, you know, some call New York City the greatest city in the world.
00:10:34.120
So do we want the father of the son that may be the mayor of the city to speak like this to make it seem like it's not a big deal?
00:10:41.920
And when he said about cops just five years ago in a tweet, June of 2020, he tweeted saying, we don't need an investigation to know that the NYPD is racist, anti-queer, and a major threat to public safety.
00:10:59.960
That's what he said, New York, if you're watching this.
00:11:03.000
But your deal with New York mayor uses budget tricks to keep as many cops as possible.
00:11:17.460
And now he's kind of trying to reposition himself.
00:11:19.200
Nowadays, more than ever, the brand you wear reflects and represents who you are.
00:11:23.880
