So Scott Galloway, we had him on the podcast about two months ago. Successful man, he's got good messages when it comes on to young man, boys making money, being successful.
Pro capitalism, he's made a lot of money, worth a few hundred million dollars.
He's on the right side with a lot of common sense issues, but he happens to be a liberal, which this is a common sense liberal guy who defends many of the things that conservatives also stand for. Logical, but he votes on the left because he has a love for his mother, and him and his mother had a great relationship, and so loyalty to the family, which I understand. But watch what happened to him. This is a guy that was complimentary of Mamdani, being a mayor of New York City. It's not gonna be that bad. He's gonna be okay. Give the man a chance, type of a person, right? And watch what he just said on his podcast with Kara Swisher about what Mamdani did last week, doxxing 900 plus people in New York who may be living in a property that's worth 5 million plus dollars. And he says, why would you do such a thing? This is a guy that supports and watch what he had to say. Go for it.
**Scott Galloway** (1:34)
And I've been doxxed. You've been doxxed?
**SPEAKER_4** (1:36)
What? Tell me.
**Patrick Bet-David** (1:37)
Oh, no.
**Scott Galloway** (1:38)
So I don't know if you've heard, but Mayor Mamdani has decided to release a list of the 950,000 residences with addresses and names that might be eligible for his Pieta Terra tax. I came out in favor of this tax.
This is the definition. He's taken a legitimate source of tax revenue, and he's turned it into a wanted poster. And the question I would have is, other than trying to identify and imply these people have done something wrong and then 18 months after a health care CEO was executed in the street, and then published the list, what is the upside here? Why is he doing this?
**Vinny Lingham** (2:18)
Because he's a communist, Scott.
**Patrick Bet-David** (2:19)
Yeah, and that's the thing. Mamdani threatened to raise city property tax by a staggering 9.5% in February, unless he was allowed to tax the rich to cover a $12 billion budget gap that was later revised down to $5.4 billion. City Hall estimates that the Pia-Tere tax would yield a $500 million a year income for the Big Apple budget, but Democratic Comptroller Mark Levine's office says the figure is closer to $380 million. Knock it off, you're trying to argue against it. So how many addresses, so the Post counted over 960,000 residents, individuals listed at potential in line to be hit with Mamdani's Pia-Tere tax, even though just about 13,000 homes were supposed to be targeted by the new levy as he and Hokel initially sold it to the public. So imagine all of a sudden, back in the days, remember in LA, you would go and get a tour, and they would say, this is where Brad Pitt lives. This is the Hugh Hefner's, what do you call it, the Playboy Man.
**Scott Galloway** (3:17)
The map of the stars. He used to sit on those red buses.
**Tom Ellsworth** (3:22)
Yeah, the red bus, like you can go around New York.
**Patrick Bet-David** (3:24)
So guess what? Mamdani is officially running the map of the stars in New York publicly, and some people are saying, what the hell are you doing? By the way, I'm gonna come to you, Tom, first, guys in the back, if you can find what Bill Maher said on his show, that even his audience is like, what the hell is going on to New York City? Tom, your thoughts on this story.
**Tom Ellsworth** (3:41)
So what is happening to people like Scott, and I thank Scott for his forthrightness and his honesty about what he's seeing, but what he is seeing is the Trojan Horse of the DSA. The DSA is an absolute Trojan Horse that is inside the Democrat Party, and the Democratic Party used to accept all these groups. Oh, LGBT, no problem, you're a victim, you have a place in our tent. Oh, you have a place in our tent. Oh, you're here, oh, poor, oh, you're still upset about slavery, but you don't know exactly who started it, no problem. You have a place under our tent. So, they build this tent of these voting groups, and what they did is they started accepting what they saw as maybe Bernie people. What was Bernie's issue? Free education, and he wanted to tax the millionaires and billionaires. I mean, just the billionaires now that I'm a millionaire. Remember that, Benny? So guess what? That's called the Big Tent Theory. And you had James Carville come out over the weekend and saying, if these are the guys that are inside the tent, I don't want anything to do with it. Remember? That's what he said.
