The Daily Show: Ears Edition - Mamdani and Democrats Score Big Wins & Conservatives Melt Down | Scott Galloway
Episode Date: November 6, 2025Jordan Klepper dives into the big wins for Democrats across the country last night, including in the hotly contested mayoral race in New York City, which ended in a historic victory for Zohran Mamdani... that sparked threats of a mass exodus of Cuomo supporters from the city. Plus, nobody is more eager to get out of the city than Eric Adams, the guy who's still in charge at City Hall, so The Daily Show takes a final look back at the legacy the outgoing mayor is leaving behind. In the Art of the Altercation, Desi Lydic unpacks Donald Trump’s long and tumultuous relationship with New York, a home he once called "the greatest city in the world," but now, as president, thinks is a crime-infested hellhole that needs to be punished. NYU professor, co-host of the Pivot podcast, and bestselling author, Scott Galloway, joins Jordan to discuss his latest book, "Notes on Being a Man." Galloway explains how modern men are leaning into masculinity as a code, how our country's male role models don’t exemplify “protectors,” big tech’s ploy to sequester men from relationships, the value of being physically and emotionally involved in young men's lives, and how empathy towards men in crisis isn’t a zero-sum game.

You're listening to Comedy Central.
From the most trusted journalists at Comedy Central,
it's America's only source for news.
This is The Daily Show with your host, Jordan Clever.
Welcome to the Daily Show. I'm Jordan Klepper.
We got so much to talk about tonight.
Trump gets even more pissed at New York.
The Bible gets spicy.
And is it possible that running a candidate
under the age of 92 works?
Let's find out with another installment
of Indecision 2025.
Yesterday was Election Day in America.
the first big election since Trump's
2024 victory,
there's a chance to see if the Democrats
had any pulse whatsoever.
And last night's show,
not only are they alive,
they are coked up like Don Jr.
at a crypto convention.
Whoa.
Whoa.
Who!
Whoa.
They scored a 13-point victory
in the New Jersey governor race,
a 15-point victory
in the Virginia governor race.
A landslide win for California.
and just prop 50.
Let's not forget the biggest victory of the night,
the one no one can stop talking about.
Democrats flip two seats
on Georgia's Public Service Commission
in this year's election.
Yeah, that is huge for our state.
Fuck, yeah!
Yeah!
Woo!
Woo!
Yeah!
The Georgia Public Service Commission.
When I say,
Georgia Public, you say service commission.
Georgia Public.
Service Commission.
Georgia Public.
Service Commission.
Who, man.
Oh, do you folks know what this means?
Yeah, seriously, do you know of any f*** idea what this means?
Okay, whatever.
The Dems are taking the W.
The point is, people were excited to vote,
especially the younger generation.
Hi, I'm so excited to vote.
It's giving election day.
It's giving election day.
It's giving election day.
Why are you here?
What's the motivating factor?
No, it's giving yes on Prop 50.
It's giving hot people vote yes on Prop 50.
This clip is giving me a migraine.
It's giving me second thoughts about democracy being for everybody.
It's giving, let's raise the voting age to one year older than she is.
But this, you know what?
You know what? This is a good reminder to everybody.
That when the Gen Ziers at your office start glitching like that,
it's good to unplug them for 10 seconds, then restart.
Usually it fixes the issue.
But still, you can see the enthusiasm.
People all over the country were excited to vote.
Even people who could not, technically speaking, vote.
Officials in Kentucky were flooded with complaints from voters
demanding to know why polling places were closed.
Kentucky's Secretary of State cleared up the confusion
posting, quote, Kentucky votes next year.
You cannot vote in Kentucky
for the mayor of New York City
or the governor of Virginia.
Sorry.
Kentucky.
Kentucky.
How could I put this respectfully?
You are not giving intelligence.
Of course, the biggest story of the night
was Zoran Mamdani, who is...
Well?
What?
What?
Zoran Mabani, who is democratically elected
as Sultan of the People's Republic
of Al-New Yorkistan.
Mabdani won by assembly
in a coalition of young people,
working-class families, pagan graphic designers,
non-binary baristas,
and, of course, Bushwick couples
looking to make him their third.
Meanwhile, his opponent, Andrew Cuomo, had his votes eaten into by Republican candidate Curtis Sliwa.
It was an unfortunate divide, but Cuomo's voters took it graciously.
Hey, Curtis, you're a fucking scumback, like I said, all along, all of these months.
You fucking got 8% in the vote.
You split the fucking vote.
You fucking sold out like fucking, Judas sold out for the 30 fucking coins is over.
Go f*** yourself.
I like hearing Bible stories told that way.
Maybe I should go to church in Staten Island.
Fucking Jesus curing the lepers.
Meanwhile, Mary Magdalene is over here
with the big flapping around.
Forget about it.
Corinthians 416.
While some New Yorkers are turning so red,
Curtis Sliwa could wear them as a hat,
other New Yorkers are processing their emotions
in a different way.
New Yorkers are going to flee.
They're going to flee New York because of Zohran Mamdani.
His win still sets the stage for a large mass exodus out of New York.
With this guy in charge, you know, they're talking about a million people leaving New York City.
A full 9% of people say that they will leave.
Wow.
You're telling me 9% of apartments are about to become available.
Oh.
Holy shit.
That would be the fastest of...
mayor has ever delivered on a campaign promise.
But, seriously, you know, seriously, though, I don't
I don't want a million people to leave New York City.
I want two million people to leave New York City.
My subway commute this morning was so packed,
I had to sit on an elderly man's lap,
and he was already stacked on top of a pregnant teenager.
Now, I highly doubt that most people will follow through
on their threats to leave New York.
But it turns out, one New Yorker already has his bags packed,
and he happens to be the current mayor of New York City.
Countries are calling me and asking me to come and do what I did in New York City.
It's an amazing opportunity that's waiting for me.
I can fly private now.
I can go on a cruise.
I can hang out in St. Bart.
And the joy of it, when y'all come and say, you know, what are you doing going to Spain?
I could just give you the finger and keep it moving.
I have to be stuck on stick if you want to do this again.
You know, so let me bounce, man.
I got a whole life to live.
Hey, man, no one forced you to be mayor.
You ran for mayor.
And also, you're currently the mayor.
You have two months left.
It's way too early to give a Jerry McGuire speech.
You, bitches, I'm out.
After Christmas.
Right now, let's brainstorm on trash pickup, shall we?
And by the way,
Why are you wearing a tuxedo shirt?
Are you starting your day or ending it?
How does this work?
But I will say this.
Whether you voted for Mom Donnie or Cuomo,
or you split your vote for Curtis Sliwa, you f***ing scumbag.
All of us New Yorkers are going to miss Eric Adams.
So, as the mayor heads off into the great Turkish Airlines lounge in the sky,
let's take one last look back at the legacy he left behind.
New York City is the greatest city on the globe.
That makes me the greatest mayor on the globe.
This is a place where every day you wake up,
you could experience everything from a plane crashing into our trade center
to a person who's celebrating a new business that's open.
We know New York City is the Islamabad of America,
is the Lagos of America, the Athens of America.
Lima for the Prince, Kiev Zabreb, New York City is the Istanbul of America.
I start today with telling my team, we got to follow the law.
I sleep well at night with my little teddy bear because I follow the rules.
I was not offered any position to go to Turkey, to eat turkey, to do anything else.
I'm not going to resign. I'm going to rain.
I'm like broccoli. You're going to hate me now, but you're going to love me later.
I'm Gandhi like
I think like Gandhi
I act like Gandhi
I want to be like Gandhi
1 a.m. in the morning
I'm sitting in the back of a
clothes
barbershop or beauty salon
smoking a cigar
and drinking some henny
or sing with Monsk
It's not to tweet
It's the street
You have to inspect what you expect
What you expect or is all suspect
When I do my dime
I can do my time
And I won't hear anyone wine
This is a city of swagger
We need a mayor of swagger
If we can talk about erectile dysfunction by not clitoring stimulation, something is wrong.
I heard a shorty that lived out here.
Shanna pie with your book is like, that's the ultimate.
You may drive by, you may see eye candy sit down somewhere.
You may want to slip you in your number.
I don't know what I'll do without my incense, my candles, my bubble baths, and my roses.
I hate rats.
Rats, rats may be listening.
I'm terrified of rats.
We're going to kill rats.
If you're not scared of rats, you're not scared of rats.
You are really, you're my hero.
All my haters become my waiters.
When I sit down at the table of success.
I'm a lion, and lions don't lose sleep
over the opinions of sheep.
Andrew Cuomo is a snake and a liar.
I'm here today to endorse Andrew Cuomo.
You know, I wake up in the morning at some time
and look at myself and I get myself to feed you.
I am the pilot, folks, and you are all passengers.
Pray for me to land the plane,
because there's no parachutes on this plane.
We're all going down together.
If they like it or not, I'm the mayor.
Since I go to the next leg of my journey, I'm leaving you a good city.
Don't f*** it up.

Welcome back to the Daily Show.
Go right, Mom, Donnie's victory is sure to worsen tensions between New York City and
Donald Trump, and not the sexy kind of tension.
For more on this fraught relationship,
we turn to Desi Leidick in our new segment,
The Art of the Altercation.
There are some feuds that transcend normal conflict
and become an art form,
and the master of this is Donald Trump.
He knows the art of altercation
like the back of his totally normal hand.
Trump's face many.
worthy opponents, Hillary Clinton, laws, even his own neck, where he has a prolapsed pelvic floor.
But one of his most personal feuds is with his own hometown, New York City.
New York has a problem. This is now a city in decline. Filthy, dirty, the job they do is horrible.
It's become a crime-infested place. Mothers can't walk their children to the park without fear of being shot.
It's a disturbing picture.
Moms being stuck inside with their children all day.
But Trump didn't always think New York was in New York, too.
Back in the day, he thought it was in L.A. 10.
I have a special interest in New York.
New York City is a hot city. It's a great city.
It's a greatest city in the world.
There's a greater energy in New York.
There's a greater verve or a greater drive.
New York City is the hottest city in the world right now.
You know, I happen to be the biggest developer in the hottest city, so that's a very cool thing.
That's right.
Not that long ago, Trump wanted to bang New York right in the Holland Tunnel.
Sure, it wasn't a perfect relationship.
There was the time in the 80s when Trump tried to evict his rent-controlled tenants.
Then there was the time he wrote a letter to the mayor complaining that hot dog vendors were,
I shit you not, splattering ketchup and mustard on the sidewalk.
To be fair, it was a travesty.
Sidewalks are a sacred space where New Yorkers go to the bathroom.
And things between Trump and New York almost came to a head in 2011 when Trump committed what can only be considered a New York City war crime.
Trump and Palin shared a pizza for dinner but using forks, not their hands.
Eating pizza with a fork, a fork. No real New Yorker does that.
Trump, what the falk is wrong with you?
This was the one time you should have been getting hansy.
But the true turning point
was when Trump decided to run for president
and he was confident that New York City
would back their hometown hero.
Don't forget.
Hillary, she's not a New Yorker.
I'm a real New Yorker, folks.
You will never get more of a New Yorker
if you want a president
than you're getting with me.
Technically, this was true.
Trump lived in Manhattan.
He's always sleep deprived,
and he's in dire need of therapy.
It doesn't get any more New York than that.
So surely New York would back one of their own.
Hillary Clinton received nearly 79% of the vote here.
Donald Trump, 18%.
18% in your home city?
Only New York's worst enemies pull that low.
The Boston Red Sox or King Kong
or any New York City apartment on any TV show,
Monica Geller, get the fuck out of here
with your huge open floor plan.
Okay?
You shower in the kitchen like a real New Yorker.
So New York rejected Trump at the ballot box, and like any great leader, he said, nah-uh,
you're not dumping me, I'm dumping you.
Lifelong New Yorker, President Trump essentially broke up with his home state on Twitter.
He's setting up his permanent residence in Florida, where he owns multiple properties.
He's leaving New York, so I say good riddance, good riddance to Mr. Trump.
Oh, poor Trump.
even his fellow perverts turned on him.
So Donald Trump left New York
for the safety of his survivalist bunker slash golf resort,
but he left behind his dearest loved ones,
by which I mean his buildings.
And New Yorkers promptly took the revenge
to facing anything left with his name on it.
The Trump Soho in Manhattan is cutting ties
with the president's organization
and dropping the Trump name
all together. Residents at three in New York City luxury apartment buildings are getting rid of
their Trump signs and brandings. There you have it. His name, his gold name comes down.
That's right. New York was redacting Trump's name from things before it was cool.
And you know how hard it is to take a name off a building in New York? My kid.
kids still goes to Woody Allen Elementary.
Very awkward cheering for them at soccer games.
But last year, New York delivered its most devastating blow in the courts.
A New York jury found President Donald Trump guilty on all 34 counts.
This makes him the first president to be convicted of a crime.
34 felony counts.
Sorry, Donald.
Looks like New York ended your political career.
Pack it up and go home.
President-elect taking the oath of office and moving back into the White House.
No, not that home.
And since his re-election, Donald J. Trump's anger has only gotten more unhinged.
He's cut federal funding for the city's infrastructure.
He's deployed ice into the streets of New York, but New York's dealing with it the way only New York can.
New York has a new folk hero, the polka dot dress lady.
During that ice rate on Canal Street, polka dot dress lady, calmly started.
stare down armed officers and flipped them off.
That's right. That's right. And is there anything more New York than a well-dressed woman
flipping the bird without even once letting her tote bag touch the mustard-covered sidewalk?
So what will the next altercation in this feud be? Will New York force Donald Trump to watch a Jets game?
Will Trump release Giuliani into the subway system?
Will this battle rage on, or will we finally be able to stick a folk in it?
Only time we'll tell.
I'm Desi Lytic.
Now get out of here.
We're fighting.
Thank you, Desi.
When we get back, Scott Dalloway, we're joining me on the show.
I'm going down.

Welcome back to the Daily Show.
My guest tonight is an NYU professor,
co-host of the Pivot podcast,
and best-selling author,
whose latest book is called Notes on Being a Man.
Please welcome Scott Galloway.
No, it's not being a man.
I was expecting opening this thing up
and seeing just doodlings of dicks,
but there's words in here.
What are you telling me about being a man?
The masculinity is a wonderful thing.
We all need a code,
and some people get that from religion,
their family, the military.
I think a lot of young men are lacking a code,
and then masculinity can be a wonderful code
that helps young men lean into some of the things
they feel more inclined to lean into,
be a provider, be economically viable.
I think at a capitalist society,
that it makes sense up front to assume at some point
you need to take economic responsibility
for your household, which sometimes means getting out of the way
and being more supportive of your partner
who might be better at that whole money thing.
The whole point of prosperity, the whole shooting match,
that's the means, but the ends,
is to immediately pivot to the second stool of masculinity,
and that is to be a protector,
if you think about the jobs that we associate with masculinity,
military, fireman cop, at the end of the day, they're protecting.
And I think the most disappointing thing
about some of the men we would naturally look to
as role models for masculinity,
whether it's the wealthiest man in the world or the president,
they've skipped the whole protection part.
I think that being sued concurrently by two women
for sole custody of your child because you haven't seen that child
or cutting off aid to HIV-positive mothers
could not be any less masculine.
So, and then, sorry for the world's out.
And then finally, and this is more controversial procreation,
I think we need to stop pathologizing young men's desire
to have relationships and want sex.
I think that sexual desire among young men is fire.
It can be destructive.
But I also think, for the most part,
it's a wonderful thing that have channeled correctly
makes you want to be a better man,
make you want to dress well,
make you want to be in better shape,
make you want to have a kindness practice,
make you want to demonstrate intellect, demonstrate humor.
There's nothing wrong with getting out there
and wanting to meet people and have a wonderful partner.
And quite frankly, stop watching porn
and get out there and make your own battle.
Well, I'm glad you brought that up
because I wanted to talk about young boys having sex.
So I'm glad.
I was looking for a segue.
It was like, as an older man,
how do we talk about teenagers having sex
and you gave it to me right there in a platter?
Now, that is a gentlemanly thing to do.
You're welcome.
You do talk about this, though,
that there is a crisis right now of young boys.
There's a wild stat that I didn't believe when I read it.
It's something like 45% of boys between the ages of 18 to 25
haven't asked a woman out face to face.
That's right.
Is that right?
That, like, that there is a, there, we find these kids and these, these who aren't interacting
with other folks.
Everything is online there?
Is this what you're seeing?
Is it part of the reason you wanted to write a book like this?
One in seven men are called NEETs.
They're not in education.
They're not in employed and they're not in training.
Effectively, you have the deepest pocketed companies in the world to represent 40% of the
S&P who have one mission, that is to sequester you from your family.
And the way they do that is we used to think sex cells, we've used to think.
figure out there's something that sells better than sex, and that's rage.
So you have a group of young men whose prefrontal cortex doesn't catch up to a woman until
it's 25, is looking for that immediate dopa, and they think, I can have a reasonable
facsimile of life online. Why go through the pecking order of having friends when I have discord
and Reddit? Why go through the BS of putting on a tie and navigating the corporate world
when I can trade stocks or crypto on Coinbase or on Robin Hood? And why would I go through the
humiliation, the expense, the rejection, the perseverance of trying to establish a romantic
relationship when I have life-like porn. Big Tech is not our friend. The bottom line is
they are doing everything they can to sequester you from the most meaningful, important
thing in your life, and that is relationships. Get off your fucking phone and get outside.
How much of it is big tech? People talk about this crisis of masculinity right now. They talk
about culturally, politically, but if you look at that so much of big tech is taking away jobs from
kids. It's sending kids into their phone
towards pornography. They're
grabbing all that attention. Is big tech
80 to 90% of
this issue, this crisis of masculinity?
I think it's a big part of it, but there's
a multi-dimensional. Let me just be an equal
opportunity hater here.
Perfect.
A lot of men aren't stepping up.
The single point of failure, if you were to reverse
engineer to the point where a boy
comes off the tracks, it's when he loses
a male role model. We have the second
most single parent homes in the world behind
in Sweden. What's interesting is that a girl in a single-parent home has the same outcome,
same rates of college attendance, same income. When a boy loses a male role model, at that moment,
he becomes more likely to be incarcerated than graduate from college. What it ends up is that
why boys are physically stronger, they're emotionally and mentally much weaker. So the reality is
the men of my generation who have registered more prosperity than any generation in history
have a debt. And one of the things we need to do is get more emotionally involved and physically
involved in the life of a boy that's not ours. That is the ultimate expression of masculinity.
And unfortunately, men aren't stepping up. There are three times as many women applying to be
big sisters in New York as there are men applying to be big brothers. Some of that is this
unfortunate taboo from the Catholic Church of Michael Jackson that if you have paternal or fraternal
love to give, you feel self-conscious about taking an interest in a young man.
but young men are everywhere.
And if you think, well, I need to be a CEO
or an adolescent psychiatrist, trust me on this
as someone who mentors young men, it is so easy to add value.
Why are you moving to Alaska?
No, you can't survive on creatine and pineapple juice.
It is so easy to add value.
And some, if we want better men, we have to be better men.
Get involved in a young man's life.
And when you say we, you mean the royal we
I don't actually have to do something in this situation, right?
You're a dad.
You got a five-year-old.
I have a five-year-old.
And actually, you brought something up in here that resonated.
You talk about male teachers.
My son hasn't had a male teacher yet.
He's had many teachers and no male teachers.
I think where do you see that role for men, like, both in our society?
Like, what jobs should they be looking for?
And also as mentorship, you speak of mentoring yourself, friends, kids.
Is that what you're saying?
Just on a social level, people should be reaching out to other kids
who need that role model?
Well, you mentioned education.
70 to 80% of primary school teachers are female, right?
And on a risk-adjusted basis or behavior-adjusted basis,
a boy is twice as likely to be suspended
for the same behavior, a black boy five times as likely.
So we have to get more men into K through 12.
What's interesting is that your son, once he hits 14 and 15,
he will develop these terrible things called opinions.
And in the I'm hoping to delay that, hopefully,
until he's out of the house.
In addition, there's a healthy hormone that takes over
that makes separation easier,
and he will begin to find everything
you and your wife say is really stupid,
and he becomes more prone to listening
to your friends than to you.
And that's okay.
And also, probably the most important thing
outside of parental involvement.
The bottom line is, being just present and being there
is the most important thing for a man.
And even just saying five years ago
that boys need men was seeing as triggering.
It's not a zero-sum game.
we can we can we can absolutely acknowledge the huge challenges that women still face
while acknowledging that if you go into a morgue right now and there's five
people who've died by suicide four men and I would offer up Jordan that if any
group was killing themselves at four times the rate of the control group we
would move in with programs but because my generation registered so much unfair
prosperity we are holding young men accountable and it's resulting in a country
that's not going to continue to flourish.
Women in the country aren't going to continue to flourish
if our young men continue to flail.
We can walk and chew gum at the same time.
People have real problems in different special interest groups,
but at the same time, we can move in with empathy
and we can move in with programs.
Empathy is not a zero-sum game.
Gay marriage didn't hurt heteronormative marriage.
Civil rights did not hurt white people.
And having empathy for young men who are clearly struggling,
it's not going to hurt the rest of it.
I'm curious.
To shift into the political side of this,
the Democrats have been criticized for losing young men.
Where do you see that loss,
and how do you see them regaining that?
So to be fair, the far right recognized the problem first.
The problem with that is their remedy
is to take us back to the 50s
where non-whites and women had less opportunity.
The opportunity for Democrats is one to see them.
If you go to the Democratic Committee, Democratic National Committee's website, it says who we serve,
and it lists 14 demographic groups from veterans to seniors to the disabled to Asian Pacific Islanders.
I added it up, Jordan, it's 74% of the population.
When you say we're serving, we're explicitly overtly serving 74% of the population,
you're not serving 74% of the population, you're discriminating against 26%.
I saw a parade of special interest groups at the Democratic National Convention,
but the only group not mentioned was the group that has fallen furthest fastest in America, that's young men.
So the first thing is to see them.
The next thing is to move in with real programs.
We can, we screw this up, we can unscrew it, right?
A lot of these programs would lift up young people in general.
People under the age of 40 are 24% less wealthy.
People my age are 72% wealthier because we figured out, old people have figured out a way to vote themselves more money.
And when Congress is a cross between the land of the dead and the golden girls,
You have a $40 billion child tax credit
gets stripped out of the infrastructure bill,
but the $120 billion cost of living adjustment
for Social Security flies right through.
We need a more progressive tax structure.
You know what would be the biggest help to young men
would be universal child care.
Because when men are most vulnerable in terms of self-harm
is the year after they get divorced.
And why do young people get divorced?
It's not a lack of shared values.
It's not infidelity.
The most common reason for divorce
is economic strain, and we keep transferring money from young people to old people.
Forty years ago, 60% of 30-year-olds had a child in the house, now it's 27%.
It's pretty goddamn simple.
Stop taking money from them and putting it in my pocket such that people can have healthy, loving
relationships without an absence of economic security.
This isn't rocket science.
That did, Scott.
I will tell you this.
I truly enjoyed this book as a father and as a man himself.
And thinking about my father, what I was, I was moved by, at the end,
you write a letter to your two sons, sort of summing up a lot of the lessons that are in this book.
It's not only thoughtful, it's remarkably patriotic.
Thank you.
You keep mentioning to your sons to value the country that they came up in,
which is something I don't, I think people in the progressive side of things who are
trying to crack this nut, feel almost ashamed to show that patriotism.
They feel like that is land that has been seated or at least gained by people on the other
side of the aisle.
Like, why was that so important to you?
Well, as you get older, the good news is you get more thoughtful, the bad news is you
get more thoughtful.
And as I've gotten older, when I reverse engineer why I'm on the daily show with you
and I get to lead this extraordinary life, a lot of it comes down to a few basic things.
The irrational passion for my well-being of my mother, single immigrant mother, lived and died
a secretary, but also some, uh, it's the jet lag of my, uh, where I'm getting emotional.
You're, hey, you're a man. You can cry. You can cry. Thank you. Thank you. It's okay.
Thank you. Thank you. You can do it.

Pell Grants. I got to go to this amazing university called UCLA. They had a 74% admissions rate.

I made an incredible living because American taxpayers decided to build this amazing technology
called DARPA and the internet.

my boys to recognize their blessings and how wonderful it is to be born in America, but also
to make sure that they never take it for granted, and that they work hard and are willing to
sacrifice such that we can make America America again.
