Time Text
Now we take great pleasure in presenting to you the star of our program, Miss Kate Smith!
It is my happy privilege to introduce a new song, God Bless America.
While the storm clouds gather Far across the sea Let us swear allegiance To a land that's free Let us all be grateful for a land so fair as we raise our voices
In a solemn prayer.
God bless America.
The land that I love.
Stand beside her.
And guide her.
Through the night with the light from above.
From the mountain, to the prairie, to the ocean, white with foam, God bless America, my home sweet home.
And guide her through the light, with the light from above.
From the mountains to the prairies to the ocean.
I will call God bless America, my home sweet home.
And now we get to hear Kate Smith's real voice.
Listen to this!
Listen to the conclusion.
I'm not saying that you should be.
Listen to the conclusion.
I'm not saying that you should be.

Listen to the conclusion.
I'm not saying that you should be.
Listen to the conclusion.
I'm not saying that you should be.
Listen to the conclusion.
I'm not saying that you should be.
Listen to the conclusion.
The song was written in 1918 by Irving Berlin.
And it was a song for the First World War.
And then it was rewritten by Irving Berlin for Kate Smith as a song for the Second World War.
And that was at the beginning of a movie that I think was entitled God Bless America.
So and the quintessential Iconic production of it was Kate Smith's, which has now been taken down for reasons of political correctness, of which I am not aware of what they are.
I tried to figure it out and therefore, since I don't know what they are, I cannot have committed some intentional wrong.
That's based on Catholic theology and basic criminal law.
You have to have intent in order to Well, I don't know what it is that she did that was wrong.
And second, I make an exception for music.
Before I go into too much detail, let me remind you that like all of you, I am a massive hater of what happened during Nazi Germany and the Holocaust, personally prosecuted two Nazi War Criminals, so not many people have done that.
Yet, I do find the music of Richard Wagner brilliant.
I also find things wrong with it, by the way.
I'm a very big critic of Wagner, both certainly as a musician, not a critic of him as a man, I probably gets closer to hate as a man.
But I separate the two things.
His music and his, I mean, Wagner The Daniel Barenboim who originally introduced Wagner back to Israel, so that the Jewish people in Israel could appreciate Wagner's music.
But you've got to separate art and the views of the person, particularly when it goes back to an age in which we're really not clear what happened, you know?
Are you referring to Richard Wagner?
Yeah, Richard Wagner is the great German composer of Tristan and Isolde.
And who do you think I'm referring to?
What is the controversy?
Was he around?
No, he was an early anti-Semite.
Oh, was he around during the Nazi years?
No, he was not.
That was my confusion.
He was 40, 50 years before.
Okay, that was my confusion.
But Hitler loved his music.
It became a background for a lot of the Nazi rallies.
And he himself had a history of his own form of, not Hitlerian anti-Semitism, I don't think, I don't think he killed Jewish people, but of, you know, the basic anti-Semitism of his day.
So he's not a particularly nice person.
And beyond that, he wasn't a particularly nice person at all.
But he was a great musician.
He probably, you don't know it, but he's probably the architect of most of the movie music that you know from the 30s to 40s to 50s into the 60s.
Gone with the Wind, all of the great John Ford movies, all of the great Western, I mean, that's Wagnerian music.
Okay.
Enough of that.
This is all to say, have a wonderful and blessed Memorial Day.
I say that rather than happy Memorial Day because, and I think I've been guilty or have incorrectly said happy Memorial Day to people at times throughout my life, but when you reflect on it, that really isn't the right description for a day in which we are remembering all of those people who lost their lives to first create And then protect the freedom that we have.
The Memorial Day Celebration began really right after the Civil War, and it's debatable as to what the original ceremony was, but one story has it that in one of the towns in Virginia, after the Civil War, the Southern ladies came out and decorated the graves of not only the Confederate dead, but the Union dead.
Wait, wait, wait, excuse me.
The widows of the Confederate?
Well, we don't we don't know.
Yeah, the women, the women, the women in the town, the southern town, the Confederate town.
Uh huh.
I can't remember the name of it.
I think it was Virginia.
They went and decorated the graves, not only of their dead.
Yeah.
Of the north.
Interesting.
Union dead, which then And now, was it done earlier in the North, or was it done simultaneously in the North?
It was done very quickly in the North also, and it took on its own sort of thing, where people would decorate the graves every Memorial Day, which was always located somewhere near the end of May.
And finally, it was made into a national holiday, and what it is today, and the President lays a wreath.
And again, part of the ceremony is decorating the graves of the people who died to serve us.
And it used to be called Decoration Day.
And now it's called Memorial Day.
Fascinating.
The whole use of poppies comes about from a poem that was written It's about the Battle of Yikes in World War I by John McRae, a Canadian army officer.
And the poem is, In Flanders fields the poppies blow between the crosses, row on row.
And that song was picked up by an American And became the basis for the distribution of poppies both in Canada, England, by the Royal British Legion and by the American Legion.
That's where the poppy becomes part of the tradition of Memorial Day.
All of that is to say, do not forget that on Monday and all of this weekend, and you can do it anytime this weekend, Or all of those weekends, as far as I'm concerned, which is to remember in prayer and action when you can, if you can go to a ceremony of some kind, that would be very nice.
But ceremony can also be a personal one with a prayer of thanksgiving to God for having given us these men and women who fought for our freedom.
And then some reflection on the fact that freedom is not given freely.
Freedom requires sacrifice because human beings are imperfect and human beings are prone to being good and bad and evil at times.
And those who are not good either are jealous of the freedoms that others have or find it dangerous or find it threatening to their ability to dominate.
And throughout the history of the world, there's been a fight against freedom, an attempt to eliminate freedom.
There always seems to be groups in the world organized under certain hateful ideologies that want to eliminate freedom so that singular individuals or groups of individuals can be controlling autocrats, dictators, kings, pharaohs, monarchs, whatever.
Now we have it with communism as the main protagonist, as well as some of the insane religious groups, Islamic religious groups, not to mention much smaller groups.
But the worldwide one, main worldwide one would be communism, which has been at this since actively since the Russian revolution at the beginning of the 20th century.
But even more than that, with the writings of Karl Marx in the mid-19th century, and seeming to have now achieved a significant beachhold in the United States, which breaks my heart, and should break yours as well.
Our friend Ward tells us that it was Columbus, Mississippi, the first town where... Very interesting.
Where Confederate... Could very well be.
I couldn't remember the southern town where it started, where the decoration started.
And I imagine there's some controversy about that.
I do recall there's some controversy about that.
There are some northern towns that claim it.
But that seems to be the more accurate historical So I'm guessing this would have happened after these battles.
It happened a year after, I think.
Oh, a year.
I think it was the year right after the war.
Some time had passed.
Yeah, but not much.
Not much.
The hatred, theoretically, was still there.
I'm going to come to the defense of one of our mediums through which we reach you, of which we are enormously grateful, and that's Twitter.
And I'm very, very upset at the criticism of Twitter over what were alleged to be the mistakes made during the announcement of of Ron DeSantis.
Okay, so they made mistakes.
This is a new technology, a Twitter switch, is it called?
Twitter switch, which is kind of like a very large chat box, I guess.
Now, I'm a faux expert, which means a phony expert, or I'm a partial expert, so don't ask me to explain Twitter spaces, but I do think it's a smaller, limited group that can be allowed in, in order to accomplish the purpose of this general overall press conference, chat, or whatever.
We come to you on Twitter Live, and we are extraordinarily happy with Twitter Live.
It's served us very reliably and very well now, consecutively, for almost nine months.
Our audience has grown exponentially.
because of the way in which it's presented, because it's presented very, very professionally
and very, very well.
So that just two nights ago, I'll show you this because I'm not sure people will believe
it.
This was the, I'm not even sure if it was the final number, but it was close to the
final number of viewers that we had just on Twitter.
And that number says 687,000.
I don't know if you can see it.
Hold that up, Mayor.
Okay.
See it right there?
Zoom in.
Yeah, zoom in on that number.
Big number.
That's a big number on Twitter.
So that's a very, very big number on Twitter, and they certainly, it was flawless.
By and large, our presentations on Twitter are flawless, as they are on Getter.
As they are on YouTube, as they are on Rumble, and as they are on Facebook and Twitch, which we're on all of them.
And at this point, Getter has to become part of Restream, which it is working on right now.
And within a very, very short period of time, you'll be able to get The same integrated broadcast.
What we do now is the whole first group, I'll actually show you, are communicated to through this microphone with a background microphone right here.
So that's the main group of Twitter, YouTube, Facebook, Rumble.
They're all part of that.
Getter is a separate microphone, a separate camera right there, and microphone right here.
And that should be fixed by next week or the week after, in which case it'll be all one.
And therefore, some of the programming, like the phone calls, are not completely accessible to Getter at this point, but they will be.
And by the time we get to streaming, which we will be doing shortly, which means we'll have people on camera, Remotely, you'll be available.
You'll be able to see that as well.
And Getter personnel have been extraordinarily helpful in getting that done, as have all of the personnel.
And therefore, right now, the defense is for Twitter, but I would defend all of them on that respect.
And people should have patience.
These are all new technologies.
We should be thankful they're available.
They weren't available 10 years ago.
Just think of what this does for free speech.
Just think of that.
And my goodness, somebody who wants to give it a religious or spiritual interpretation could say that God helps us invent these things just when we need them, right?
If we ever needed this, this is the time we need in our history.
We are right now going through the biggest assault on our right of free speech.
If you don't say what the government and the Biden administration wants you to say, they're going to find a way to punish you in some way.
They may punish you indirectly and socially through social media.
They may punish you through the sense in the establishment groups that you're an outcast or that there's something really wrong with you.
If you support Donald Trump, for example, they may think of you as being emotionally disturbed and sick.
And in doing that, they try to prohibit and limit and reduce free speech.
And then, of course, they directly do it when they do things like have all these rules.
For what you can say and can't say.
For example, I don't know if you still can criticize the advice that was given that was totally incorrect and life-threatening with regard to the pandemic.
But people were put off the air for that.
Doctors, doctors from the major medical schools in the country, doctors whose opinions otherwise would have been taken enormously seriously, they were just cut off.
You would think that these people who did it would have some humility when it turned out they were completely wrong.
But there's no humility anymore.
I mean, look at the Democrat Party and all the crooks at the top of that party.
They were dead wrong about Russian collusion.
They haven't apologized for it.
Pulitzer hasn't taken back the Pulitzer Prize for having written false stories.
That's ridiculous!
The New York Times and the Washington Post have Pulitzer Prizes for having written stories that are patently false, proven by about $150 million worth of investigation.
What kind of world are we living in?
It's called phony.
So, Twitter, you did a good job.
Certain things went wrong, fine.
You got your message across.
Everyone knows now that DeSantis is running.
If some of them hold it against him that he did it wrong, he'll make up for that one way or another.
And it's probably made up for the fact that it's getting more attention and more talking about than is normally the case.
And then we can get on to the more important things like who has the better ideas, who's better in a position to save this country, from my point of view at least.
Who's more loyal.
Who's older?
More experienced?
Who's done better in business?
Who's built bigger buildings?
Who's won the presidency already?
Who's served as president?
Who's been in the White House?
Who's got some experience?
Who created a peace agreement in the Middle East?
Who supported who?
Who helped who get elected?
Who created the best economic numbers for minorities in the United States?
Like a major conflict, not just like a baby boy conflict.
Like Russia!
Well, first of all, according to the Chinese, COVID is back.
I'm very nervous.
I'm very nervous this is being done for the election.
I have to tell you, I got sorry.
I admit that could be a conspiracy theory.
It could, of me, it could be.
I'm not saying this is for sure.
Tell me you don't get a certain feeling.
You see this post lockdown Chinese shrug off looming COVID wave.
Now, I think this is possible because of the ridiculous way in which they, the ridiculous way in which they handled COVID by locking the whole country in. See, I think they
were just practicing for when they lock the country in every three or four years just to train
them because they're a bunch of serfs under communism as they want us to become. That's exactly
what they want us to become.
So the United States and China are, according to President Dodo, are
you know, are having a thaw in their relationship.
I'm really glad they're having a thaw in their relationship because China is hacking the hell out of us.
China is hacking the hell out of us.
They now have a new technique on living off the land.
It's been discovered by the five eyes, which are the US, the UK, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand.
And according to their cyber security experts, this method of cyber theft is much more sophisticated and much more difficult to detect and is ongoing right now.
Imagine when the thaw is over what they're going to do to us.
How many of you think that Biden is compromised with regard to China?
And therefore, he can't say anything Critical or stand up to them, even on this issue of hacking.
Raise your hands.
Oh, my goodness.
Look at all those people who raised their hands.
I can see them right now, right out there.
A lot of people comment below.
Is Biden compromised and unable to speak ill of the communist Chinese?
Yes or no.
Comment below.
But this this living off the land, this living off the land issue is a big one.
It's one that is going to have to take a great deal of reorganization on the part of our intelligence services so that we can deal with the newest Chinese technology and the newest ways in which they're hurting us.
So, the dead ceiling is of course extraordinarily important.
The country could come to an end if we go above the dead ceiling.
It wouldn't be as bad as climate change, but almost as bad as climate change.
And all kinds of things could happen.
You won't be able to breathe.
Your house will disappear like it was a tornado.
Janet Yellen's hair will come out of her head.
And Biden will become articulate.
all these things will happen as a result of...
Then if all these things are really going to happen, if there's a default,
why do they all take the weekend off?
Do you think she did because they wanted a weekend off?
You think she moved it to the 5th because she wanted a weekend off?
Of course she did!
She's a big liar!
First of all, if we were to have a default like they describe on the 5th, or maybe she'll move it to the 10th if Schumer wants a couple more days off.
Give her a call and say, hey, John, what do you think?
Can you move it to the 10th?
I got a couple of things I gotta do.
Yeah, okay.
By the way, we wouldn't be out of money until somewhere like, to the extent that we are out of money, which is sort of an accounting thing.
We wouldn't be out of money until the fall of the end of the year.
So even the date she's given is a date where certain reductions have to be made, which probably should be made.
We're not going to be like, because I've got to stop on that day.
But in any event, you know, Biden, And it isn't just Biden.
Other presidents have given that warning, except Biden probably doesn't know the difference because he's so demented.
He doesn't even know what's really happening.
He just gets up there and talks.
It's probably easier for him to talk about this because his long-term memory probably is still there, as it often is with dementia.
And it's his short-term memory, like who he is right now, that's in decay, tremendous decay.
But in any event, the balance on the dead ceiling, I mean, what's going on on the dead ceiling is real simple.
Biden wants the dead ceiling just approved with no further action, no restrictions on any further spending.
To either prevent this kind of massive debt to accrue, to be incurred, so that we don't just keep repeating it and repeating it.
Biden wants to be able to do it, you know, without any restraints.
Republicans want to, one, put restraints on future spending and also do that by reducing present spending.
And the debate back and forth is, number one, will the Democrats agree to that at all?
If the Democrats don't agree to that, will Republicans block the legislation in an effort to get some kind of reduction ultimately?
And then if the Democrats are willing to deal, if Biden is willing to deal, which now seems like he is, how much of a reduction?
Is it just going to be window dressing or is it going to be substantial?
Is it going to be a process that becomes greater and greater over a period of time?
And then one final big issue, which I'm very, very glad was inserted in this because it brings me back to my own history, and that is Workfare.
McCarthy wants Workfare introduced for all the government giveaway programs so that people work for a living and don't lose the work ethic.
That is critical to stemming the growth of our socialist government, in which, you know, we have more people paying taxes than not.
We may end up having more people working than not.
We've got people paying more than half of what they earn to the government, which is, as far as I'm concerned, that makes you a socialist.
The minute the majority of your wages goes to the government, you're working for the government, not for you and your family.
And we've just substantially changed the nature of our way of life and our country.
But all of that is up in the air.
What will the final result be?
As far as I can tell, Biden blinked on the idea that he is willing to do some reductions.
I think the chances become greater that we get a deal.
But then again, we have Republicans in the House who are considered to be the more conservative Republicans.
You know, he calls them, when he pronounces it correctly, you know, MAGA, MEGA, MUGA, MAGA, PAPA, BAPA, PAPAP.
Whatever he calls them, you know.
I bet he doesn't know what it stands for.
Wouldn't it be great to do a quiz of Biden?
You remember when Jesse Waters, there was somebody before Jesse, he would go out and he'd take his, I have a microphone right here, he would take his microphone and he would say, ma'am, who was the first president of the United States?
Barack Obama.
Hmm.
Uh, who did we, who did we fight in the second world war?
Uh, uh.
China!
Okay, alright.
Let's see, something like... Oh, you can even do this!
Who was the first president?
Abraham Lincoln.
That's what we got, you know, we got we got to deal with that too, because of the wonderful education system we now have that is completely in the hands of the communist teachers union, which really spends more of its time representing decrepit teachers and making sure they can't be fired and they can't have their salaries, salaries lowered and also does everything that he can to get them as much time off As they can get, like, what, a couple years for the pandemic, when nobody else got a couple years off for the pandemic.
And also plenty of time off so that they don't work a whole year.
And then does nothing for the good teachers, because the good teachers should be paid more than the bad teachers, and the good teachers are paid exactly the same as the bad teachers.
Which is pure Karl Marx communism.
Which then does what it has done for every communist country.
It reduces productivity and first eliminates excellence, then good performance, then average performance.
And it takes it down to deteriorating, if not destructive performance.
The DeSantis announcement, we mentioned it from the point of view of defending Twitter.
Now the question is, do we defend him for the announcement?
I don't know that somebody needs to be defended for their announcement.
I do notice, however, and I have a few examples of this, I think I do, if you want to hear it, but the left wing, I mean, you might, you might, well, first of all, if you listen to DeSantis, what would you call that, Ted, that he did?
Would we call it a speech or an interview or a discussion or what was that?
It was a little bit like Biden campaigning from the basement.
The Twitter space, you could say it was a conversation.
An announcement and conversation.
In which you don't see it.
In which?
In the age of television.
We've only had television like 80 years.
It is true, the internet and that kind of communication is new.
But I mean, wasn't Truman on television?
I mean, jeez.
Presidents have been on television forever.
It's almost like an arc, right?
We're going back to Uh, audio only.
We got to video and audio.
We've had audio with radios.
You know what I think?
And then we had video.
I think Biden's going to really one up us next time.
I think Biden's not going to even be in the United States during the election as part of, as part of the Klaus Schwab, Obama, one world doctrine.
He'll be like in Belgium.
He'll be like on a farm in Belgium.
And you'll see him taking care of the animals in the morning, because I think he's at that point in the stage of dementia, he'll be capable of doing that.
And if you ask him any questions, it would be considered unfair.
It would be unfair to ask him questions because he's the president and he shouldn't be put in a position where he has to be asked questions.
Well, he's he's going to announce via Marconi, who had the on those on ships about 100 years ago where you tapped out the messages in Morse code.
You think he would?
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
You have any that that that that that that that that that very well done.
But I mean, the fact is, you think you actually think Biden could do Morse code?
You can't even talk.
How can you do Morse code?
The staff would do it.
But then there imagine we tweet out.
Who the hell are you?
Just stop pressing all those buttons.
And who knows what would come out?
We probably have war thereafter.
He would have insulted somebody completely.
And we'll have war thereafter.
Last thing you want Biden doing.
I mean, the last thing Biden should be allowed to do between now and the time we get get him out of office is touch a button.
I do not want him touching any buttons.
It's got to be Joe, Joe, Joe, Joe, Joe, Joe.
See those buttons there?
Those buttons are not for you.
Here's some ice cream.
Aren't I the president or is Kamala the president?
No, Ron Klain's the president.
Barack Obama's the president.
You know that.
We've talked about this many times.
Any big decisions?
Who's President Harris?
I introduce her all the time.
She's President Harris.
Who is she?
Well, you get confused, but it's not her either.
But if I'm the president, I can press the buttons.
Can I press a button, please?
No buttons.
We'll give you one of those easy buttons from Staples.
Jill, who can press the buttons?
That's Dr. Jill.
That's Dr. Jill to you.
Dr. Jill, who can press the buttons if I can't press the buttons?
Well, who's really in charge?
Well, you know, who's really in charge?
Ronald Reagan used to be able to press the buttons.
Everybody thought he was going to press the buttons.
Yeah, it's only Republicans that are are a threat to.
Did Trump ever press any of those buttons?
No.
In fact, he.
He was quite the opposite of of what they threat they warned us about, right? That was like the big
threat. They said, you know, and they never use the word nuclear either, right? You
never printed the word nuclear until Trump was running for president and nothing else
worked. So then they said, okay, you can't elect this guy. He's going to create nuclear war.
So, so just in the list of things that they tried to use, you are extremely objective on the subject.
What did you think of Ron DeSantis is rollout? Interesting decision.
One that I feel you have to make in order to beat Trump in a primary, right?
You have to make these sorts of headlight grabbing and kind of different decisions.
Interesting to do it with arguably one of the most famous human beings on the planet.
And like, as you've said, Mayor, and you questioned this from the start, I would just, you know, where's the video?
Why not video?
You want to look somebody in the eye, especially when they're announcing that they want to run for president.
You think maybe the New York Post is a little one-sided?
Young Ron set to hit trail hard versus old man Don.
You think maybe the New York Post is a little biased?
Young Ron.
They didn't do him like that.
Wow.
Oh boy.
That's wrong.
They did him dirty.
I'll tell you about the Post though.
Barack Obama was young and Ronald Reagan was old.
Who was a better president?
What do you say, Post?
What would your readers say?
Oh, come on, Mike.
And then his policy initiatives, which are exactly all the same as Trump's, by the way.
They ought to issue a correction.
The rational policy initiative.
The New York Post ought to issue a correction.
Mayor, when you and you see him more than almost anyone, I've been around him.
And one word that you don't think of when you're around him, it's similar to you.
And that's the word old.
That's fake news.
And I am calling on the New York Post to issue a correction.
Look, it's a great paper, a story newspaper.
Look, we got it.
We can't we can't get too hard on the Post.
All we got that and the Wall Street Journal.
The Wall Street Journal has always been a little further over anyway.
That title.
But it's real.
I mean, it's really it's really.
The Post, Fox.
And the Journal have really kind of pushed beyond their journalistic Uh, ethics with the overdoing it for DeSantis.
Oh my goodness.
And I hate to see that with the post, which did so much.
You know. Is this.
Look, between Mayor Giuliani and President Trump article, you two could work anyone out bowing down and.
And.
Bye.
Vowing down at the altar of Ron DeSantis.
And okay, well.
He is very far behind.
So did he make any ground up in the... What did polling show us?
Let's see what's in the recent polls today.
Well, meanwhile, let me say that the House is moving forward, demanding from the FBI the bribe files.
And more information has been put out on the bribe files.
And it is exactly the transaction That I thought it was.
It's the transaction, the bribe transaction they're talking about is the one that I originally brought out in February of 2019.
I believe so.
2019.
And it is the money that was used to to fix the case against Burisma.
Now, who was Burisma?
Burisma was the company for whom Hunter Biden and his partner Devin Archer were being employed at a salary of $800,000 a year or $1.6 million a year for doing virtually nothing and for no expertise in the energy industry.
Their boss was a man named Mykola Zlochevsky.
Who had been a crooked minister in the former Russian Putin-oriented Ukraine government, who had, while he was minister, put in his company almost all of the most valuable oil and gas leases, had left and had amassed a fortune of about $40 billion illegally, basically stole it from the government.
And when his crooked government that was pro-Russian was thrown out and replaced by a pro-Ukrainian crooked government run by Poroshenko, he was very afraid that his business would be taken away from him, which it would have.
And he needed a go-between.
He needed someone who could be a protector.
So he bribed Joe Biden.
And the bribe was to employ his ne'er-do-well son and Devin Archer for ridiculously large amounts of money, which they didn't earn, which would be a pass-through of that money to Joe.
So they were acting as the bag man.
And so through that basis, we see about five point something million dollars worth of bribes, which I think this memo is about.
And and then There also is evidence never followed up because Barr obstructed justice and never interviewed the woman saying that she could point to the offshore bank accounts of the Bidens.
So how much of that this IRS agent has, I don't know, but I do believe he has the key bribery evidence.
But you almost don't need it because Biden sort of admits to it on tape in that famous tape where he says, if you don't Fire the prosecutor, you don't get the hundred billion dollars that I have for you, which is out and out extortion or bribery.
Because the next prosecutor was expected and then did drop the case against Lyshevsky's company, which meant that Lyshevsky, who was a major oligarch in Ukraine and a major organized criminal, walked away with, oh gosh, a $40 billion company that he basically stole.
That was the key bribe, and I think this memo Gives part of that bribe.
I think it gives the $5 million version of that bribe.
And of course, the FBI is doing everything they can to cover it up because having had a memo like this, they should have prosecuted this two or three years ago.
And why didn't they?
Because they have become a subdivision of the Democratic Party.
It's no longer the FBI.
It's the Biden regime police.
And that operates like the regime police in a In an authoritarian country, in a communist country, or in a Nazi country?
You know, the interesting thing is that the left-wing press is now focusing on DeSantis the way they did on The way they did on Trump.
And DeSantis' big argument had been, I'm more electable than Trump because people will like me more.
First of all, I'm not sure that's true.
I have to say, and obviously these are things that are subjective and you have every right to disagree with me and call in or text if you do, but I don't see much personality there in terms of Ron.
I campaigned for him in 2018 when I was sent there by Trump.
Isn't that an odd thing, sent there by Trump to bail him out because he was losing?
And myself and my colleagues all, you know, somewhat experienced in presidential campaigns, much more than he was, really had very, very, very worried about him because he was a weak candidate.
He doesn't have a great voice and he doesn't have a great presence.
And he's not a particularly inspiring speaker.
And he was getting, if not beaten, he was being tied by a very flawed candidate.
And this was before Trump actually kind of pulled off a miracle and by endorsing him, took him back from about a 29% deficit to Adam Putnam, who was the congressman in the next district who was beating him.
So, I mean, one given fact that you've got to all deal with is he owes his governorship the first term, would be no second, well, the first.
To Donald Trump.
And is that, what's your personal code of ethics?
Do you run against somebody like that?
Do you run against somebody that has been so instrumental in building your career?
Rudy Giuliani's personal code of ethics is that you don't.
Unless you can really say in good conscience, you're so darn necessary to the country, And since Trump has already done all the things that DeSantis says he's going to do, I don't know how DeSantis justifies the fact that he'd be so much better for the country.
DeSantis tells us he's going to bring peace to the world.
Trump did.
DeSantis says he's going to lower taxes.
Trump did.
DeSantis says he's going to get the lower middle class to start working again.
Trump did.
DeSantis says he's going to regularize things in the Middle East.
Trump did, historically, do so.
He says he's going to get control of the growing Terrorist groups.
Trump did.
He says he's gonna start to get control of the border.
Trump did.
What's he gonna do that Trump didn't do?
I don't know.
He's not gonna back Fauci.
Now, who's to say if he would or would not have that situation when Fauci is brought along as the big expert and you're in the middle of a disease that you don't know what the hell it is.
I think in light of that, Trump did some pretty remarkable things.
For example, closing down this country to China at a very, very early stage in which he was attacked by Pelosi and Uh, Nitwit, uh, Biden, uh, um, the, uh, the queen of insider trading, um, Pelosi, uh, all of them were attacked, attacked him for being a xenophobe.
Uh, had he kept it open for another four weeks, what they would have done, that had been double the number of deaths in the United States.
Because, I mean, there's no question that disease was spread by the Chinese deliberately sending their people around the world.
With big emphasis on the U.S.
in order to kill us in the same way that they send ethanol here in order to kill us, which is accommodated very, very much by and expanded very much by Biden's open border.
So let's see if we get a little flavor of how the press The crooked press is now covering DeSantis on the chance that he might be the Republican presidential candidate.
This is Abby Phillips on the previously Clinton News Network,
now known as the Communist News Network.
The challenge with doing an event like this, if you are Ron DeSantis and you're trying to present
an image of a competent campaign that has its advanced work done,
that knows how to put together a smooth running event, which is a kind of microcosm of a smooth running campaign,
doing it in this format always introduced a huge amount of risk.
And what's happening now is that instead of talking about what Ron DeSantis is running on and how he's running,
what his campaign looks like, people are gonna be talking about how this event happened.
There is such a thing as negative attention and he's right now getting a lot of negative attention
and that's probably going to continue and it's probably not gonna be undone
by anything that is said later tonight in a more traditional format.
His difficulties in running a campaign indicate that he's gonna have difficulties being president.
If that is true, then Biden's inability to have a campaign indicates that he just wouldn't be president, which he wasn't.
I mean, the woman is a left-wing dope because she doesn't even realize how she's talking about the Biden campaign.
They ran a cynical campaign, but they ran a totally ridiculous campaign.
They hid the candidate.
That's not a campaign to win the presidency of a democracy.
That's a candidacy to manipulate and take advantage of the electorate of a democracy.
And accomplish the result our founding fathers always feared that you could manipulate the majority if you were willing to engage in false practices.
I mean, but notice now all the criticism of them, right?
How about, how about.
How about the very, very unbiased and extraordinarily balanced Joy Reid?
What Ron DeSantis is trying to do, and probably why he was like, oh, I'll do it on Twitter spaces, is to prove that, like, he's young and Biden is, like, old.
But Biden literally trolled the heck out of him right into the middle of their glitch.
Like, Biden, dark Brandon gave him the business on Twitter.
This is humiliating.
This is beyond humiliating, and it was so predictable.
You know, first of all, we've been saying that he's failed to launch, so it reminds me actually of the movie, Failure to Launch.
And this is so indicative of who he is.
You know, we know that he doesn't have the personality to be President of the United States, and so this just shows once again that he's so out of touch with people.
And look, He spent the last five years here in the state of Florida trying to get to this MAGA extreme base while taking away freedoms here in the state of Florida.
And so there's just so much to unpack from today and the last five years under Ron DeSantis.
But this failure to launch and Elon being part of it, it just is a perfect They're not even saying anything.
Start unpacking it.
She said there's so much to unpack, Mayor.
She didn't say anything.
I never... That was a minute of nothing.
We heard nothing there.
I learned nothing.
What is that, anger and hatred?
Yeah, but like... As if you would think it was Trump.
Extreme MAGA base?
Like, what does that mean?
Extreme MAGA base, like in Florida?
People who extremely want to make America great again.
Yeah, yeah, extreme.
She says it as if they're terrorists.
People who want to make America great again because they want to Bring America down.
I mean, isn't it?
Isn't it really amazing that the president of the United States makes it like a curse?
Yeah, they're trying to be part of make America great again.
But then this is the same guy that tells you that our biggest threat is white supremacy.
So there were 15,000 murders in America.
About last year, how many were white supremacists?
Do you guess?
It depends who you ask, right?
The media, if it was the biggest, if it was the biggest threat to us, it should be about half, right?
Yeah, it should be about 708.
I mean, it should be about 7,500.
I mean, it should be about seven thousand five hundred eight thousand.
It's more like about 20.
Yeah. And I bet you those 20, I'd like to really investigate those cases.
Because there's probably less.
Let's say it was 30.
No, I'm guessing it's probably a lot less.
Let's say it was 30.
That would surprise me.
Let's say it was 30 out of 15,000.
But honestly, I would be shocked if 30.
But don't fight it.
That isn't the point.
The point is, if it is a threat, it sure isn't our biggest threat.
And one of the real dangers of that, and one of the reasons you have so much crime is, If your analysis is wrong, your resources go in that direction, and you create more crime, because you're using your resources to stop virtually no crime, which should have been devoted to the places where there is real crime.
But in any event, that's what we're dealing with, with these people.
But it's amazing how I mean, this guy's not even going to be the candidate.
Probably, probably he's not going to be the candidate.
And just in case, just in case they're trying to destroy him, right?
Just in case.
I must say.
And then one of them says, at least Jordan says it makes no sense to launch campaign on Twitter, Musk is more famous than him.
So what?
So what?
And then Joy Reid and Susan Del Percio, who is a traitor, a former Republican, on MSNBC says there's no freedom in Florida.
Susan Del Percio, by the way, was a Republican.
But Fox didn't hire her, so now she's a Benedict Arnold.
What parents and regular people, normal people, understand is, hang on a second, I'm raising my kid, I take my kid to my doctor, and then you're going to tell me you're going to take my kid because you don't like the medical decisions I'm making?
You're going to tell my kid they can't read a book?
You're going to tell my black child they can't read a book about black history?
Really?
You're going to tell them they can't take a black history?
You're going to tell my female child they can't take History about women?
You're going to tell my Jewish child they can't learn about the Holocaust because you don't like it?
This isn't freedom!
This is not a freedom agenda.
This is a do what Ron DeSantis tells you to do, the state owns you agenda.
Who does he think that's going to attract?
Well, I think Michelle was spot on when she said that DeSantis misunderstood the election results for 2022.
He really didn't get at what was driving people.
It was nothing.
They didn't show up.
I mean, that was a big difference.
900,000 fewer votes cast on the Democratic line from 18 to 22, 2022.
So people maybe didn't come out so much.
They didn't come out against him, but they didn't come out for him either.
Do you understand that?
I mean, do I mean, I'm not going to I'm not going to be insulting and say they're two nitwits.
I'm not going to say that.
I don't want to say that, but I mean, it is true that... I'm playing that not for the purpose of arguing with what they're saying or not saying.
I mean, I obviously disagree with what they're saying.
I'm playing it to show you that the idea that by the time they're finished with DeSantis, he'll be any different than Trump is a fiction.
In fact, it's possible he'll be worse because he doesn't seem to have the same massive skills that Trump has in fighting back and counter-punching.
The thing you should understand about Trump is he does best when he's behind, which is why I'm nervous right now.
I'm admitting it!
Trump is one of the best counterpunchers in politics.
All great politicians are actually, in many ways, better counterpunchers than they are on offense.
And almost all politicians are better when they're behind.
Great ones, when they're behind than when they're ahead.
Very similar to great boxers.
You tend to get I'm not going to say lazy.
You tend to, yeah, a little bit intellectually lazy in the sense you don't push yourself as hard to analyze things and you begin to believe everything's going to go right.
When you're not sure everything is going to go right, you examine it much more carefully and you come up with better strategies.
If you've got the capacity to do that, if you're not able to remember that you're in Cambodia and think you're in Colombia, well then of course you can't do that.
Or when you think your son died on the battlefield in Iraq, and even though you've been told three times that that's not true and you keep repeating it, then you can't do that.
And then you actually shouldn't be president of the United States, unless you're surrounded by a group of people that are traitors to the country and really don't care if the president has the mental capacity to do the job, which describes his cabinet and his family.

I'm back with you on America's Mayor alive I want to give a couple of quick warnings here to those of you before we go off for our wonderful and beautiful memorial weekend, wonderful in the sense that we'll be able to be
With our families and beautiful because we'll be able to remember correctly and with great pride and with tremendous gratitude those who put down their lives to create this country for us and we will pray that we have that same Spirit, what all they've done to deteriorate us, what all they've done to beat us down, what all, what has been done to us by the party of slavery, the Democrat party.
In the last couple of years, and it's not the Democrat Party of Kennedy or of some of the great Democrats that were equal patriots to the Republicans that we have.
It's a party now of people who say things like, America is systemically racist.
That's Biden.
It's a party of 30 year crooks as described by Biden's son.
It's a party of the Clintons who probably were even more crooked than he is.
It's a party that is rotting from the top with so many good people that belong to it.
Some brainwashed, some not, who we reach out to.
Please, please, please use your brain and listen.
Please don't do it to us again.
Don't give us a Biden.
Don't give us an Adams.
Don't give us a Hochul.
Don't give us a witless, whatever the name of your governor is.
Please, we don't need these dictators in America, the people who lock you in and don't let you practice your religion.
The men and the women whose lives we're remembering over this weekend didn't die for a country without free speech.
Right now we're a country without free speech.
I'm on here because we don't have free speech.
I'm on here to tell you the things that you don't hear on the useless news networks.
The useless news networks that are just creatures of the government.
We might as well be in the Soviet Union or we might as well be in East Germany before the great liberation of Ronald Reagan and the Pope and like Valesa and Margaret Thatcher.
Question is, do we have people like that today?
Do we have a Ronald Reagan?
Do we have a Margaret Thatcher?
Do we have a Legg Valesa?
And do we have a Pope like Pope Saint John?
What do you call a Pope who's a Saint?
Saint John Paul II?
Okay.
Ted is now invited to say something.
And I'm going, just in case Ted gets us cut off in some way or other, I am going to wish everyone a blessed Memorial Day.
And Dr. Maria, please, would you like to say something?
Tune in to Uncovering the Truth on Sunday, 10 a.m.
by going to wabcradio.com.
And you will...
You will also have the distinguished presence of Dr. Maria, who adds a great deal of intellect, intelligence, and common sense to this show.
And now we have Ted, who just backs up my craziness.
Move just a little bit here, just for the framing, Mayor.
Notice he's moving me to the left.
That's funny.
That's funny.
So, Mayor, just real briefly.
Notice I'm looking at him very quizzically.
On behalf of your... I know what's coming up.
I said nothing about this.
You did not.
And on behalf of millions of your supporters and fans across America and around the world and all of us here and everyone that's been with us on our network, we want to wish you a very, very happy birthday to a man who has dedicated his entire life, your entire life, really.
I say your professional life, but your entire life to serving others, To giving back and to doing, always doing the right thing in an over 50 year professional career, right?
Uh, before being mayor, I mean, going back to being a lawyer, everything you know, I can't, I can't sit here and listen to all that stuff.
And the way you comforted a nation, I was in fifth grade on nine 11.
I was in fifth grade.
Um, and I'll never forget where I was.
I'll never forget what two people did afterwards.
My dad and mayor Rudolph W Giuliani, and you comforted the entire nation, the entire world.
On that day, but again, that's just one of so many things you've done for this country.
And of course for the city, but for, for so many victims and their families, uh, you've, you've served justice to so many now, of course, everybody knows about the mafia, but there are countless cases that I don't even know about that you've worked on because that's what you do.
You get up in the morning early and you work until late into the night, every single seven days a week.
A memorial day.
We're going to be at DAWN WABC Radio and we're going to be doing our show live.
So I could go on and on.
I wanted to wish you a very happy birthday.
I want to thank you for everything you do for me, of course, but more importantly, everything you do for so many people in your life.
You mean so much to so many people, sir.
Oh, and I didn't even get a little something from Milano Market.
I love Salvatore.
But for you, We got a chocolate muffin.
Everybody join us.
Happy birthday to you.
Happy birthday to you.
Happy birthday, Mr. Mayor.
Happy birthday to you and many more.
Thank you.
Thank you for that beautiful, beautiful speech and and and talk Ted it was wanted to make me cry and thank you Dr. Maria for helping to put this together and for helping us produce this show and the podcast and our radio show together and thank you Ted for producing this show and all the work you do on the podcast and everything else that we do.
We are quite a team and we're a team that's fighting for freedom.
That's what we're fighting for.
Fighting for our fellow Americans.
We don't take what we do lightly because we really do think we make, not just us, but a group of us that do what we do, are fighting the most important fight going on in this country for freedom.
And they have taken it away from us, and they're taking more of it away from us, and we have to stop it and turn it around.
And we know how to do it, and that's what we're gonna do.
And we're just getting started.
So happy birthday, Mayor!
Thank you!
God bless all of you and God bless America.
God bless you.
To the issues of our day.
America was created at a time of great turmoil, tremendous disagreement, anger, hatred.
There was a book written in 1776 that guided much of the discipline of thinking that brought to us the discovery of our freedoms, of our God-given freedoms.
It was Thomas Paine's Common Sense, written in 1776, one of the first American bestsellers, in which Thomas Paine explained, by rational principles, the reason why these small colonies felt the necessity to separate from the Kingdom of Great Britain and the King of England.
He explained their inherent desire for liberty, for freedom, freedom of religion, freedom
of speech, the ability to select the people who govern them.
And he explained it in ways that were understandable to all the people, not just the elite.
Because the desire for freedom is universal.
The desire for freedom adheres in the human mind and it is part of the human soul.
This is exactly the time we should consult our history.
Look at what we've done in the past and see if we can't use it to help us now.
We understand that our founders created the greatest country in the history of the world.
The greatest democracy, the freest country, a country that has taken more people out of
poverty than any country ever.
All of us are so fortunate to be Americans.
But a great deal of the reason for America's constant ability to self-improve is because
we're able to reason.
We're able to talk.
We're able to analyze.
