"He's Not Going Away" – Zohran Mamdani Could Reshape the Democratic Party

**Patrick Bet-David** (0:00)
Mamdani says a socialist can win anywhere. I don't know if you guys have seen this clip or not, but this is very important because 2028 is around the corner, midterms are around the corner, and this guy's voice is getting big room bigger, and he showed this weekend that he also knows how to swim in a suit, which is impressive, because clothes gets wet. But here's him saying a socialist can win anywhere. Go for it.

**SPEAKER_2** (0:21)
Democratic socialists get elected president?

**Zohran Mamdani** (0:23)
I think a democratic socialist can get elected anywhere across this country for any position. What I think we need to bring is a focus on working people.

**SPEAKER_2** (0:30)
And that's the direction that the party should go in in terms of selecting a candidate for 2028?

**Zohran Mamdani** (0:35)
I think the direction that the party should go in is how best to fight for working people. I think we need to have a platform and a vision that doesn't sound as if it was cooked up by consultants, but instead one that you would say in response to someone who's asking, why can't I afford my rent? Why can't I afford my groceries? Why can't I afford my childcare? We need to make clear who we stand for, how we're going to stand for them, and that we're actually willing to fight for them when the going gets tough.

**Patrick Bet-David** (1:00)
You got to give him credit how good he is.

**SPEAKER_4** (1:02)
Pat, him, Gavin, Obama, it's all very...

**Patrick Bet-David** (1:04)
He's better than Gavin.

**SPEAKER_4** (1:05)
Oh, 100%, oh, 100%. But this is like the Manchurian candidate. And every time I hear him speak, I'm like, are people, are you guys really getting sold on this guy? I mean, it's obviously working in New York, promising all the free stuff, Pat, but is it insane?
Is it insane? And Pat, it's working, Tom. They've hijacked the party. The party has literally bent the knee. And then he's doing the rent freeze. He approved one million rents stabilizing in New York as well.

**SPEAKER_5** (1:32)
Yes, but I don't think that I, if I can correct you on one thing, you said the party has bent the knee.
I don't think so. I think what's happening in the Democrat Party is they mistook what they thought was his ability to bring a voting block. Because remember, everything in the Democrat, if you take a look at the Democrat platform, and help me, Adam, you see victims, list the victim, define the victim, and then manipulate the voting block based on the perpetuation of that victimhood.
And so, oh, trans, oh, add another letter, L-G-B-T-Q-I-A plus.
What that is, nothing more is identifying other victims and using those to create an establishment of voting blocks that you get under what you call a big tent. What he says about consultants, he's right. The consultants are the ones that have talked about for 40 years exactly what I just said. Find the victim, find the voting block, make it a bigger tent and go get you. And then this is why Schumer and them, they thought they were bringing over Hispanic voters that was going to be mostly Hispanic. Schumer's words, Schumer's words were bringing over mostly Hispanics that are going to be laborers, we're going to give them access to things and it's going to perpetuate our voting block. That's what they were out to do. Well, so that they didn't bend the knee. They thought things like they honestly bit it, the core DNC did not believe that Minneapolis was going to get out of hand like this. They did not believe that. Now, they're looking at it too, saying they don't have control. The DNC does not have control right now of Mondami and everything that goes there. That's it, man. They are the useful idiots. I said it before, I won't go in repeating, but that's what's happening. And you know what they just did? They just moved Gavin Newsom.

**Adam Sosnick** (3:23)
Yeah. I mean, the key to mom, just smile, be smarmy and just smile, and you never know what's going to happen.
The question was, can the Democratic Socialists win in America?

**Patrick Bet-David** (3:36)
Can you go to what Trump said about this? Can you go to what Trump said about communism and how it's advancing and what it's doing? This guy's a brilliant marketer. You got to give it to him. But here's the president about the same issue. Go for it.

**Donald Trump** (3:46)
We have a country that's just the hottest. It just is so hot.

**Adam Sosnick** (3:51)
We're so hot right now, Zoolander.
