Zoran Mamdani just got called out to his face by Meet the Press for being a fraud and a hypocrite. As I predicted, Zoran's supporters are already turning on him for his friendly meeting with Donald Trump, rightfully pointing out the stark contrast between campaign Zoran who vowed to fight Donald Trump like his life depended on it, and current Zoran who let Donald Trump treat him like a little kid for 30 minutes in front of the entire world. And Meet the Press forces Zoran to confront these concerns. And despite his best efforts to slime and squirm his way out of answering questions,

0:35

the host keeps his feet pressed to the fire the entire interview. As always, like the video and subscribe to the channel, but let's start by hearing Zoran admit that he got absolutely nothing from his meeting with Trump.

0:49

Did you get any assurances in your meeting, Mayor-elect Mamdani, that President Trump will not send troops into New York?

0:56

I told the president that the cornerstone of an affordability agenda is public safety, and that it is critically important to me. And for all that has been said and all that has been spoken about, and the tens of millions of dollars looking to make New Yorkers fearful of that question, the truth of it is, in fact, that I'm looking forward to working with the NYPD

1:13

to deliver on that. And I shared with the president that my decision to retain Police Commissioner Jessica Tish is in large part a recognition of the fact that in her time leading the NYPD, she has driven down crime across the five boroughs

1:25

while starting to uproot corruption that was endemic in the top echelons of that department under Mayor Adams.

1:31

And I'm gonna follow up with you on your decision to keep Commissioner Tish, but to this core question that I think so many New Yorkers are curious to know the answer to, what did President Trump say to you?

1:41

Did he assure you he will not send troops into New York? He told me that he cared deeply about public safety. I said I cared deeply about the same.

1:47

But did he say he wouldn't send troops?

1:48

What I told him is that what separates New York City from anywhere else in the country is we have the NYPD. And I trust the NYPD to deliver public safety. And to me, that is something that I know that they can do, So he didn't rule it out in your meeting. I made it very clear what we wanted to do was to deliver public safety and affordability and the NYPD would be the ones to do so.

2:07

So for all the groveling, for all the betrayal felt by his supporters, Zoran got nothing to benefit his agenda. And what you'll notice through this interview is Zoran, who was once extremely clear, direct and assertive with what he believed in during his campaign, has now adopted the standard Democrat procedure of supplementing direct answers with long-winded, non-answer word salads. Zoran already confessed he betrayed his base

2:35

by agreeing to drop New York sanctuary policies and allow the NYPD to coordinate with ICE to hopefully appease Donald Trump and prevent large-scale ICE operations within New York City and ultimately avoid a situation where the National Guard is forced to come in to quell the public outrage. But not only did he get no assurances from Donald Trump

2:56

that if he cooperated, he wouldn't send in the National Guard, but a new report came out that states ICE is gearing up for operations within New York City. But here's where the host calls him out for being a fraud, for being a big tough guy on the campaign calling Donald Trump a fascist, but then being too scared to say it in front of his face.

3:15

In that press conference with President Trump, a reporter asked you whether you believe that President Trump is in fact a fascist, a word that you've used in the past, you were about to answer, then President Trump sort of jumped in and he said, quote, that's okay, you can just say yes, it's easier than explaining it. So Mr. Mayor-elect, just to be very clear, do you think that President Trump is a fascist?

3:39

And after President Trump said that, I said yes.

3:41

And so you do.

3:42

And that's something that I've said in the past. I say it today. And I think what I appreciated about the conversation that I had with the president was that we were not shy about the places of disagreement about the politics that has brought us to this moment. And we also wanted to focus on what it could look like to deliver on a shared analysis of an affordability crisis for New Yorkers.

4:01

Zoran claims he stood on business, he stood on principle, he called out Donald Trump for being a fascist right there to his face. Well, let's run the clip back from that moment in the Oval Office and you tell me if that's what it looks like.

4:13

Are you affirming that you think President Trump is a fascist?

4:16

I've spoken about- That's okay, you can just say yes.

4:20

Okay? It's easier than explaining it.

4:23

I don't mind. So he was clearly preparing to go in a completely different direction, avoid the question, and talk about their shared interest in making New York City more affordable. And Donald Trump mocked him pedantically and said, ah it's okay, go on, prove you're the big tough guy from the campaign, call me a fascist. And Zoran shamefully mumbles under his breath, Okay, fine, I guess he's a fascist. And Donald Trump condescendingly pats him like a good little boy. Again, quite a stark difference from the outspoken, bold, angry Zoran Mamdani of the campaign trail.

4:54

It's funny because the Democrats have chosen their obstructionist philosophy because they claim it's immoral to negotiate with fascists. Fascists are bad, evil people. They are not people to be reasoned with, to negotiate with, to find bipartisanship with.

5:10

Their ideology must be defeated and exiled from society. But now Zoran says, yeah, he's a fascist, but that doesn't mean I can't work with him productively. Coming from the Democrats' loudest, fiercest, anti-Trump leftist fighter blows a massive hole in the Democrats' loudest, fiercest, anti-Trump leftist fighter, blows a massive hole in the Democrats'

5:26

what you would do today is what you would have done in 1930s Germany talking point. Ah, so you're not this idealistic beacon of hope. If you were in 1930s Germany, you would have worked with Adolf Hitler because there's nothing wrong with having a productive working relationship. So yes, Zoran is a massive fraud, but the host continues and calls him out for also being a hypocrite.

5:48

You've also said in the past that President Trump has engaged in a quote, attack on our democracy. You've called him a despot. Do you still believe President Trump is a threat to the democracy?

5:59

Everything that I've said in the past, I continue to believe. And that's the thing that I think is important in our politics, is that we don't shy away from where we have disagreements, but we understand what it is that brings us to that table. Because I'm not coming into the Oval Office

6:11

to make a point or make a stand. I'm coming in there to deliver for New Yorkers. And a few weeks ago, I was asked by a reporter three words to describe myself. I said, New York City? I think that some of your supporters

6:25

would be curious to know. You say you stand by your past statements that, yes, he's a threat to the democracy. How do you square working with someone who you still think is a threat to the democracy?

6:35

I think working for the people of New York City demands that you work with everyone and anyone and that you always look to find those areas of agreement while not overlooking the places of disagreement. And I think this was something that came up in our meeting. We spoke about immigration. We spoke about the fact that in New York City, we have sanctuary city policies that allow

6:53

for the city to work with the federal government on around 170 serious crimes. The concern for so many New Yorkers comes about anything beyond that.

7:01

This shows how little Democrats believe the things they say, and also acknowledge their linguistic crusade to change and dilute the meaning of all words while retaining their emotional outrage. You want to call Donald Trump a fascist for merely enforcing the law, but you want people to associate that word

7:19

with big bad murderous Adolf Hitler. But you also want people to understand that you were saying it hyperbolically when explaining why you're going to be working with big bad Adolf Hitler. Sure, Zoran's campaign was largely about affordability issues and how socialism was the answer to it, but it was also largely animated and energized by the belief that

7:41

Democrats weren't doing enough to fight Donald Trump, and this guy would. That he was unapologetically angry and detested Donald Trump. Believing that someone is an authoritarian who's an existential threat to the American way of life isn't a mere disagreement that you can just work around. But here's where the host puts him in the toughest position of the entire interview,

8:04

and Zoran squirms. Trump did a better job. I don't like Trump, you know, but we should have a secure border and it ain't that hard

8:26

to do. Biden didn't do it. Those before him did not do it. We should have a secure border, period.

8:33

Do you agree with Senator Bernie Sanders that President Trump has done a better job securing the border than former President Biden?

8:41

I haven't thought much about comparing presidents on the question of securing the border. I think it's important that it's secure. President Biden? You know, I haven't thought much about comparing presidents on the question of securing the border. I think it's important that it's secure, and I also think it's important that we have an immigration system that is humane. And that's what I spoke about with the president, is that New Yorkers want to see humanity in the policies that are being implemented.

8:56

Do you give President Trump some credit for the work that he's done to make the border,

9:01

in Senator Sanders' estimation, more secure? What I give President Trump credit for is the meeting that we had yesterday was one that was focused on how we could work together for New Yorkers.

9:10

Just spineless, weak, unprincipled. He's basically turned into Hakeem Jeffries, speaking in these sloppy, meaningless collages of Democrat political slogans. Any objective, rational person who wants to be taken seriously can admit that Donald Trump did a good job securing the border. The only people who disagree with that are open border globalists who disdain American sovereignty and think our purpose for existing is to be an open wallet to the third world. At least Bernie Sanders is

9:40

American enough to admit that we need a border. Zoran would love nothing more than to import a bunch of jihadist third-world Marxists. But the real reason Zoran had to go grovel to Donald Trump was to ensure that he did not lose existing federal funding, seeing as the governor of New York already refused to raise taxes to fund his socialist agenda. And here's the reporter asking him bluntly and point-blank,

10:04

is his utopian vision in danger? socialist agenda and here's the reporter asking him bluntly and point blank.

10:05

Is his utopian vision in danger?

10:07

You have said that you want to raise $9 billion in new taxes, increasing taxes on the wealthy, on businesses, in order to fund your key policies like universal childcare, which you mentioned you would need Governor Kathy Hochul to be on board with this. You need her signature. She has never publicly committed to increasing taxes. you mentioned you would n to be on board with this. She has never publicly co

10:58

taxes? I'm thankful that to engage in the hypothe confident of the two of u to deliver on this agenda and ensure that finally, and this goes back to just that portrait of FDR, we look at what politics has been in the past. It has been there in the moments of such transformation, meeting the scale of the crisis.

11:17

We can do that again.

11:18

So just yes or no, you think she'll raise taxes?

11:20

I think she'll work with me to deliver on affordability.

11:22

I think raising taxes make the most sense. I mean, his agenda is dead on arrival and he still has 40 days until he officially becomes mayor. And each day is going to be a grueling wake up call for his supporters as they realize what they voted for is not what they're getting. And because they're not getting any of the free things he promised, he has to make sure he also doesn't lose federal funding that would prevent New York from functioning as it currently stands.

11:47

It's like a class president that promises no more homework, unlimited recess, pizza parties every day. The far left is realizing they were tricked, they were duped. Zoran is no different from Chuck Schumer or Hakeem Jeffries. He's not a revolutionary, he's not a fighter, he's not principled enough to stand up to the fascist leader of America.
