The story with Mamdani came up. You know, I'm curious to know how you handle it. Mamdani has this story comes out and they talk about all these places in New York and he puts the map of New York City's immigrant neighborhood, Sparks Outreach for ignoring Little Italy. I'm sure you saw that if you want to go a little bit lower.
Sammy Gravano (0:45)
Yeah, yeah.
Patrick Bet-David (0:46)
And this is the map. So you see the map New York City immigrant enclaves, right? Zoom in a little bit because my eyes, I can't see anything. So you got Chinatown, you got Chinatown in Sunset Park, Guyana, Koreatown, Little Africa, Albania, Colombian, Dominican Republic, Ecuador. You got everybody, Manila, Mexico, Odessa, Palestine, Pakistan, Poland, Ukraine, Yemen, Egypt, Little Haiti, Little India, and you forget Italy? You think this was an intentional error or an accidental error?
Sammy Gravano (1:20)
Um, I think it's intentional and stupid at the same time, almost putting it together with, uh, call me stupid and accidental and whatever. I think this is the same thing. This guy has got to be out of his mind in New York to do this. He's obviously against Jewish people. New York is full of Jews, um, all over, and they're good people, and you throw Italians out, I think you just put two, uh, races and nationalities together in a relationship.
They, you know, I remember when they did the, the Italian-American League, the Jewish Defense League came down and rallied for us. Now you got two of them together, I would imagine that in New York, now you're going to have the Jews and the Italians rallying for each other, and make, you make your friends with them, whether they like each other or not. We both got thrown out. I think it's a dumb move, but I, I'm really amazed. I was born and raised, as you know, in New York all my life. I'm amazed how they voted them in.
It's a lot of these young kids coming out of college, and they don't have a clue when they're going against somebody who's...

Sammy Gravano (3:23)
This kind of a mentality against Christians, Jews, against all kinds of different things, why would you want this guy in? This is your end result.
Like when they say, when you vote, you got what you want, and now live with it and deal with it, and that's what they got.
Patrick Bet-David (3:43)
Yeah, but do you think he is intentionally leaving Italians out? Or do you think that's a mistake?
Sammy Gravano (3:49)
I think it's a big mistake. I mean, there's a lot of Italians in New York and every single part of New York.
Patrick Bet-David (3:55)
Is there anything in here about Jews? Nothing. So no Jews, no Italians. And if you look at the population of Italians in New York, it's 7.6%. What are the top, I don't know, top five biggest, let's see, ethnicity population in New York City? I'm curious, what are the top five?
2.7 to 3.1, that's in New York, but New York City is going to be 800,000. So number one is Puerto Ricans, then you got Italians, then you got Dominicans, Chinese, Irish, Mexican, German, Russian, Polish, and you leave Italians and they're the second biggest population in New York City? It's kind of weird.
Sammy Gravano (4:44)
It is weird.
Patrick Bet-David (4:44)
It's kind of weird. And Jews is 1.3 million. And so number one is Jews, he left it out. Number three is Italian, you leave it out. Did Muslims ever have problems with Italians? Did you guys ever have issues with them or no? You guys got along.
