America's Mayor Live (E178): New Leaked Messages Reveal How Hunter Biden Sold Influence
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
Rudy Giuliani with America's Mayor Live in Manchester, New Hampshire.
The site of, coming up pretty soon, first in the nation primary.
Today, there were a group of candidates in town, Nikki Haley making the biggest splash, talking about China.
And yesterday, of course, President Trump was here.
made a very impassioned speech about what needs to be done to save our children.
He's been on that topic before, but I hadn't heard him as strong and as focused on it as he was last night, and actually as he was the night before in Michigan at the Lincoln Day dinner that I was at.
With Dr. Maria and Ted.
And we all got to see him.
And we all got to take a picture with him!
What the heck?
Only have 4,432 pictures of him.
There may be worth something someday.
What do you think, Ted?
I may be somebody.
I could have been champ.
You know what movie that's from?
You gotta let me know if you do.
As you see, behind me is someone I think that is probably the best known criminal in the United States right now, because nobody wants to accept the fact that his father is a much bigger crook than he is.
I kind of feel bad for Hunter.
I mean that.
I'm not being sarcastic at all when I say that.
I mean, I, in a very strange and almost...
Almost difficult to describe way, know more about this family than I ever thought I would.
And this guy didn't have to turn out like this.
Joe is a very bad man.
Because among other things, he's a very bad father and grandfather.
And I can't judge with the other children, but I'm judging with this one.
This one here was a fragile youngster, no doubt.
Probably felt overshadowed by his older brother.
Not unusual.
He gave indications of having an addictive personality in his teen years.
Sprouted out big time, very quickly.
And all Joe did is enable him.
Well, that's not the worst thing.
I mean, it is the worst thing, I guess, but a lot of parents can't help that.
It's hard to administer tough love.
There are people who even doubt that tough love is love.
I think it is, but it gets close.
Here's the thing that goes over the top with him, though.
Why did he take this guy and make him a bag man?
I mean, if you look over the last 40 years, 30 years, and of course, you look at the money, and that's where the bribery comes from in the Rico case, and the 50 years in prison that they should spend, and the forfeiture of everything they have.
But the other thing that you notice is that he put his son in business with some of the worst and most dangerous people in the world.
You don't do that with an addict, do you?
Not an addict you love and care about.
Not a person who has a delicate personality that could snap on you, and that could turn to addiction under stress.
I don't know, maybe if you were dealing with Mykola Zlochevsky, who was an organized criminal, a Russian-favoring Ukrainian who stole his entire business while he was in government, whose partner disappeared as soon as he got out of government, who is thought of as a Member of Ukrainian organized crime, possibly even Russian organized crime.
I don't think you'd want your son who has a delicate personality dealing with a guy like that, or Whitey Bulger's nephew, or the spy chief of China, or the people around him who went to jail left and right, and the spy chief himself is at the bottom of the Yangtze River now.
A lot of people around Joe got wasted.
Patrick Ho getting arrested.
Him getting, coming very close to being arrested several times.
Dealing with major criminals all throughout the Ukraine and Russia.
What do you expect can happen to him?
He's gonna become a degenerate drug addict.
He certainly did nothing to help him.
They put him in rehab and Rehab would be a joke.
He'd line up prostitutes and drugs and blow out of the rehab anytime he wanted.
I don't know in detail any legitimate rehab he actually did because the ones that I've seen on the hard drive are all ones where he's calling up prostitutes and calling up for drugs and has his contacts in the places where the rehab centers are.
And Joe never really checked on that or cared about that.
Just sent him off to rehab, come back and get money for me.
When you get to the penultimate stage of this, and probably the single most critical text, you can see some of the anger and bitterness that Hunter has when he says that the family hasn't respected me ever.
Maybe they'll respect you, he says to his daughter.
Even though I've paid for their expenses, all the expenses, for 30 years and had to give half my income to Pop.
Now that's a bitter man.
It gets worse than that when, on another text, he says the only person who was decent to him was his Uncle James.
Then of course, if we need any other indication of Joe's deficiencies as a human being, is unwillingness to recognize his granddaughter probably is monstrous and a pure indication that this is pathological narcissism that we're dealing with as well as corruption and possibly perversion.
So tonight, among other things, for the second night in a row, the chief witness called Whistleblower, but he was the head of the investigation.
This is rather unusual that you get the testimony of the head of the investigation was questioned by Brett Baer, who was questioned yesterday and essentially testified.
This is Gary Shapley.
He testified there were certain investigative steps we weren't allowed to take.
That could have led us to President Biden.
I read Supervisory Agent Gary Shapley told CBS Evening News.
We needed to take them, Shapley told CBS Reporter.
If there was any other person, they likely would have already served their sentence.
I think he's talking there about Hunter, but he could be talking about Joe, too.
There were personal expenses that were taken as business expenses, prostitutes, sex club memberships, hotel rooms for purported drug dealers.
From 2014 to 2019, Hunter was found to have owed $2.2 million in taxes to the federal government.
I documented exactly what happened, and it doesn't seem to match what the Attorney General of the United States is saying today.
The charges that they sought to bring in Senators from California and Washington, D.C., Martin Estrada, U.S.
Attorney, and Matthew Graves, U.S.
Attorney, were not brought.
Even though, uh, the Attorney General testified that he would have the power to bring charges in any district he wanted.
And, um, and he sought on two occasions, Weiss did, to be a special counsel so he could bring these indictments and they weren't, uh, brought.
might be much more important and much more illuminating if we go to
let's see if we can get that right away.
way. Thanks for joining us America's Mayor live.
We want to meet our mission as an agency with IRS criminal investigation. We really lose the trust of the people of
the United States if we didn't ensure their non-truth fair.
So for the people who say this is a planted Republican who's trying to affect the upcoming election or has some
motivation.
This is simply the facts of the facts, and in my past, I've voted for both D's and R's, and you know, politics are irrelevant when I'm conducting my job.
What is your job?
So I supervise a group of 12 agents right now, and everything that they do, from case development, case initiation, all the way through prosecution recommendation.
The second whistleblower is actually a case agent.
Not named, but you know who that is.
And this is done separately.
Shall we try to fix the color?
Maybe put that down for now.
Better?
October 7th meeting and that's when I decided to come forward and I don't want to put words
into the other ones.
I tried that one too.
His deadline was a different time and he did so when he thought he needed to.
And he was the case agent specific, that's correct, he developed his case and worked
it since 2018.
And you were the supervisor role in the case.
And I think that's a good thing.
I think that's a good thing.
You were in this October 7th meeting.
Let's get there, because that's your red line moment.
This is a moment in which the Delaware U.S.
Attorney David Weiss, according to you, had made this disclosure on October 7th, 2022, meeting with top IRS and FBI officials, saying what?
So I was there and I witnessed this personally and he started with, he's not deciding personally whether or not charges are filed or not.
Not the deciding person on whether charges are filed with Hempify.
That's correct.
Who was?
So ultimately this, if you follow the path of where the venue leads you, they went to the D.C.
U.S. Attorney's Office in March of 2022, and they presented this case to them
U.S.
at the same time as that was occurring.
They requested discovery from the agents, which is a typical step when they're getting ready to
charge.
Now, I wasn't in those meetings.
I asked to be in those meetings, as did the case agent, so we didn't help present to them.
But after that occurred, he was no longer looking to charge in that district.
So that's earth-shattering news.
So Biden appointed D.C.
U.S.
Attorney Matthew Graves would not allow him to charge in his district.
So I didn't learn that fact until October 7th of 2022.
So looking back to March of 2022.
And that's when David Weiss in October 7th, 2022 said that the D.C.
U.S.
Attorney's Office will not allow us to charge there.
And then he added that he would request a special counsel authority and was denied in that meeting.
I even had to repeat that because I knew how important that fact was and I wanted to make sure I understood it.
You were there and you remember it.
Crystal clear in your mind.
Not only do I remember crystal crystal clear, but I documented it.
The email, this is an exhibit in the House Ways and Means Committee testimony, was when I returned home that evening, I documented it in an email.
And it's an exhibit.
You can look right on there.
And I sent that email to two senior executives, one of which was at that meeting.
And I said, is this accurate reflection of what occurred during the meeting?
And the response was, you covered it all.
So there are other things in that email to conclude that he needed to go to California and he had to go into California to request a charge there.
And then he even opines that if they declined to allow charges, that he would have to request special counsel authority from the Deputy Attorney General or Attorney General.
Speaking of the Attorney General, he was asked specifically about this.
Mr. Weiss had, in fact, more authority than a special counsel would have.
You know, I presented the facts to the House Ways and Means Committee, and they're corroborated, and another whistleblower says the same thing.
So, you know, there is a disparity there, but I was there.
You know, I presented the facts to the House Ways and Means Committee, and they're corroborated,
and another whistleblower says the same thing. So, you know, there is a disparity there, but
I was there. I remember it, and I can vouch for exactly what's written there today.
It's what happened.
So, House Ways and Means Committee, this is Congressman Jason Smith.
This was a campaign of delay, divulge, and deny.
Whistleblowers say reoccurring unjustified delays pervaded the investigation, including authenticating a WhatsApp message in which Hunter Biden, Well, I think we got the point.
I wanted you to hear it from him.
I mean, I could read it to you or you could read it in the paper, but there's something to watching a man testify and therefore you're taking your measure of the man.
What are the chances he's lying?
He's a career IRS agent.
He appears to have no political bias one way or the other.
He said he's voted for Democrats and Republicans, like a lot of people have who are not, you know, major partisans.
From all appearances, he seems to be very professional.
And he seemed to be shocked at what happened, as I would be back in the day when I did that kind of work, because what you're saying is extraordinary.
The Attorney General had both testified and given press conferences in which he made it crystal clear that the U.S.
Attorney in Delaware had the authority of a special counsel Even more authority than a special counsel and could bring charges in any district that he saw thought necessary.
Now that becomes important in a tax case because it has to be brought in the in the relevant place where the taxes were filed and.
So District of Columbia was actually the major case because that involved all the burisma money
and then the California case involved a lot of the more of the of the tax evasion where money
was used on personal expenses that were completely unjustified.
Prostitutes and booze and parties and things that you know uniformly you
know were not supposed to be used for that that sort of thing.
But in any event, those charges weren't brought by the U.S.
attorneys there.
Don't know if Weiss appealed that to the deputy or to the AG, but certainly he didn't have the authority that But the Attorney General said he had.
Now this Attorney General, I don't know a situation where he's told the truth.
So when he said that back then, I thought he was lying.
He looks kind of weaselly and maybe because he lies so much, he has that kind of look of a liar.
But I mean, these are massive lies to the American people.
And how about all the times they were passing Weiss off as, oh, he was appointed by President Trump.
He actually goes back.
I mean, he was appointed by Obama.
He was appointed by Franklin Roosevelt.
God, he was there forever.
He's sort of a career U.S.
attorney.
He certainly wasn't a Trump partisan or biased toward Trump as they're trying to make it appear.
But in any event, He had two indictments turned down, the case is blown based on the statute of limitations, and he ends up with these ridiculous, petty, silly misdemeanor cases.
And then the gun case he blows completely, where he could have brought a real felony charge and just didn't because a wife has got to be a fixer too.
They all are.
Why didn't he go public?
This is the kind of thing you go public on because this is like, you know, Nazi prison guard.
You're being told to do things that are unethical and illegal.
He was given the authority to judge these cases.
He did judge them and they were prevented.
That really was an obstruction of justice that he let happen because he just isn't a strong enough man to stand up.
What a pathetic thing to see such weakness.
And what about Matthew Graves and Estrada?
They're not going to let a charge against Biden get past, you know, they may want to be judges someday.
God forbid they have a charge against Biden.
Well, that's, I mean, that's the way the game is played under this corrupt regime, this corrupt fascist regime.
You rush through an indictment of Trump, Based on a law that has no criminal penalties, the Presidential Records Disclosure Act, or Presidential Records Act, rather.
And then you hold up for five years a case, let the statute of limitations run, lie to the public, say that the guy has the right to prosecute, and he doesn't.
Did you ever think we would have such a corrupt administration in Washington?
And it'll be interesting for you historians out there, have we ever had an administration that was more corrupt?
I think by the time we're finished, you're going to know the answer to that.
I don't mean tonight, but maybe even tonight.
Who knows?
Who knows what else will be revealed?
It's pathetic.
Completely.
Absolutely.
100%.
Pathetic.
100% pathetic.
Now, President Trump appeared yesterday here in New Hampshire.
And in New Hampshire, he has run up a rather sizable lead.
I must say, it's an extremely massive lead that he's run up.
And Let's see if we can take a good look at it here.
I think that's, that's probably the best look that we'll have at it.
That was, um, 42, this poll was 42, 28, two months ago, 42% for Trump, 28% for DeSantis.
Look what's happened to it.
Look what's happened to it.
I mean, he's run away with this.
Just really, really run away with this.
This is the St.
Anselm poll, the college where they have all the debates and debated there twice myself.
Really beautiful venue.
This is a massive jump from the last poll in March, which was 42 to 29, which was still a pretty healthy lead.
But then all these bad things happen to Trump and he's running away with the election.
Let's take a look at the lower group.
It's interesting to see that DeSantis is really getting pushed now a little bit by the By the single digit people, right?
Because except for Trump and DeSantis, everybody else is in single digits.
Christie is threatening to get out of single digits at 9%.
Don't forget, Christie ran here before.
So he has the advantage of name recognition over Pence, Haley, Ramaswamy, and Scott.
Pence did not run here, I don't recall, last time.
I don't think he was...
in the race at the New Hampshire stage.
I think he came in the race for a very short period of time and dropped out.
So Christie maybe is getting the benefit of some name recognition.
But it would be interesting to see if somebody can pass to Santas.
What do you think, Ted?
Here, I'm talking about just about New Hampshire and too bad Dr. Maria isn't with us.
We'll ask her tomorrow night and have her do a little snooping around with her.
Well, it's interesting, Mayor.
They're all political experts.
They're all PhDs.
Are you surprised to see Chris Christie at 9% here?
Or is that just a product of the fact that he seems to be here every day?
And he's a Northeastern candidate.
How is he taking 9%?
Whatever it's the result of, it's good for him.
him. I mean, he's entered the race with the biggest bump that we've seen so far.
Now, that's not much of a bump.
A bump is usually, I remember when Senator Thompson entered our race, he came in at 24%, 22%.
Went down quickly.
John McCain said that the highest number he would have was the day he entered.
But I didn't know him as well as John did.
But look at Haley.
I mean, Haley's been in here She's been in this race for a long time.
She's been here quite a bit.
She was here over the last two days, I believe.
Looked like she was trying to escape an interview today, right?
When we were talking to her guy.
But that's a pretty sad showing.
Uh, to be down there.
That's, that's sort of, um, think about getting out time.
Yeah.
I mean, mayor, you got these, some of these people have been in it for quite some time.
Uh, and I, I think Vivek's in a different lane because he's, he came in here as kind of an unknown.
Whereas Tim Scott, uh, Nikki Haley, for sure.
Even Mike Pence, these, these are people that the voters know they're, they're staying down there at 3%, 3 to 5.
I mean, how long can you stay in it before it's like, look, people know you.
It's not like you have any room to grow.
Where are you going to grow?
I mean, more people are entering the race, not less.
Yeah, this is pretty much a this is not really what you would consider a completely 100 percent MAGA state.
You consider this a little bit more of a I wouldn't say establishment Republican state, but a little bit more of that.
So Trump's doing well here.
Sounds like he's going to do well everywhere, in all the Republican venues.
I mean, if he's doing well here, imagine what he's going to do in South Carolina.
That's right, Mayor, and join the conversation.
Comment below.
Who are you supporting in 2024?
Let us know.
Are you just for the one word put in the comments?
Who are you supporting in 2024 for president of the United States?
Mr. Rhode Island is in the house.
Thomas Murphy.
Hello, Thomas.
I'm glad you're in the house.
I see you're there replying.
It just ran away on me.
I'm looking at a couple.
Who are you supporting for president?
So McCarthy, did you see?
Well, Mayor, take a look right here.
Who are you supporting for president?
See up there on the right.
Oh, Jetty Monk is supporting me.
Poor guy.
Trump Flynn.
There's an interesting ticket.
Yeah, throw in a couple.
Come on, Trump, Flynn.
Let us know, who are you supporting for president?
I see number twos, number twos, number twos.
Come on, Jeep girl, tell us who you think.
I see a lot of people.
Lynette Ferguson, and I hope you don't mind, they don't mind my using their names, do they?
I would like one of them to be on the ticket.
I think a Kennedy-Trump ticket couldn't work because of Kennedy's other positions that are so contrary to the Republican Party.
I heard that DeSantis was ahead of Trump in the swing state.
I don't know where you heard that from.
I don't think that's the case, ma'am.
I'll take a look for you, but I don't know of any state in which DeSantis is ahead of Trump.
I don't think he's ahead of him in Florida.
No, Trump is up in Florida.
Yeah, if he's not ahead of him in Florida, where the hell is he going to be ahead of him?
That's an interesting question.
Maybe he's ahead of him in California.
Maybe in Washington.
He gets so much attention.
Washington, D.C., among the Republicans in Washington.
Yeah, among the three Republicans.
He's ahead two to one.
He's got two of them.
Yeah.
He's got a he's got a two to one lead.
Two to one.
For his former staff when he was in Congress.
Two of his former staffers and one of Trump's former staffers.
That's right, Mayor.
Cheap girl.
I love your choice.
OK, this is something worth looking at regarding the extent in which they will.
Go to brainwash the masses.
A lot of votes for Trump here, Mayor.
Some votes for Giuliani on here.
Trump-JFK.
There have been a couple of... Trump-JFK, Trump-Lake, of course, that's a hot... Well, who would this audience support?
If it's Ron DeSantis vs. Robert Kennedy Jr., who would you support in that situation?
60% of the voters will vote for Trump, but what does it matter if they rig the results?
Well, that's why we have to have a voter integrity effort, bar none, this time.
A really, really good one that gets the job done.
So I was going to say that McCarthy is now flipping around a little, and he says that he expressed doubt about whether Trump would be the best candidate Whoa!
For the GOP.
Whoa!
Do read, please, there.
Oh, here's the quote.
Can he win that election?
Yeah, he can, McCarthy told CNBC's Squawk Box.
The question is, is he the strongest to win the election?
We don't know the answer.
What's going on there?
We getting a little backstabbing going on there?
We got a little Ryan?
Rubbed off on him.
Were all those people that tried to stop him right?
So he said this during an interview?
With CNBC, Squawk Box.
You know, that show that gets 14 people early in the morning?
Question is, is he the strongest to win the election?
I don't know the answer.
Well, I think he's going to find out the answer.
That's right, Mayor.
I mean, is he suggesting that there's another candidate in the Republican primary field?
Doesn't that sentence say that?
He doesn't tell you who it is, but he said, I'm not sure.
If he's not sure he's the strongest, he must think he must think that possibly there's somebody that's stronger.
And how about the president's explanation of the of the tape that he played for For ABC News and for Semaphore, reporters for Semaphore and ABC News regarding the dispute as to whether it was him or General Milley who envisioned some kind of an attack on Iran.
And during the conversation, he shuffles around some paper and he says, although Milley had accused him of it, See, Millie was the one who did it.
The president now says that that was that paper was not classified material, that it was just paper on his desk, and he was using it as an illustration.
The way I sometimes do when I hold a piece of paper up and say, you know, it was a document.
It was a document that said it wasn't and it isn't exactly the document.
And he said, I didn't have any classified documents in the office.
I couldn't possibly have held one up.
It could be interesting.
You know what would really be interesting, and I would do right away on either side, prosecutor or defense lawyer, I would try to find the original of that so-called document.
If he was using it as a bravado, I think he called it bravado, then there may be no such document with Milley's name on it.
If there's no such document with Milley's name on it, then there's no classified material he could have revealed.
And there would be, I mean, if the president has a copy of it, there obviously would be one on the defense department.
So subpoena the defense department for the document.
If you got one and it's classified, then we got to look for the second one.
But if there is no original document or Or maybe that's the original document, but a copy in the Defense Department files, then the President's explanation sounds like it's corroborated.
I mean, these are professional things that you do when you're a lawyer that I've not seen done by these crooked prosecutors.
What I just described to you, my youngest assistant U.S.
attorney would have been trained to do.
It's like when Comey tells you he couldn't corroborate The completely specious Steele dossier.
And there's a trip to Poland by Cohen.
Come on, how do you document a trip?
You get the passport.
Now maybe you can't get the passport.
Maybe I can't get the passport.
But the head of the FBI just goes like this.
Hello, passport.
Go check right now.
You got two minutes.
Tell me if Cohen was in Prague on X date.
When was Cohen in Prague?
Never?
Never?
And my guy is swearing that he was?
Gee!
Gee!
Even James Cardinal Comey might sit there and say, Maybe this guy's a liar.
Oh, well, let's try another one.
It says here they visited the Counsel General's office in Miami on X date.
Hey, Mary, get me the Counsel General in Miami.
Tell him it's Director of the FBI.
I think they'll get on the phone.
Boom!
Right away.
Two heart attacks, guy gets on the phone.
This is the head of the FBI.
On January 2, 2015, 2016, 2017, there was a visit to your office in order to get by these three people.
Do you have a record of it?
6-7-17, there was a visit to your office in order to get by these three people.
Do you have a record of it? I'm sorry, this is Washington, D.C.
Yes, but I was calling the Miami Council General's office.
Well, that's interesting, Mr. Director of the FBI, but there is no council general's office in Miami.
Was there one there three years ago?
There never has been one.
Oh boy, I really have a big liar on my hands now, don't I?
Maybe I shouldn't sign this, that this is true.
Or maybe I'm a freaking liar and I will.
I'm going to I'm going to jam up that S.O.B.
because he's a bad man.
He shouldn't be president.
Because if Hillary is president, I'll be really important.
Who knows what I'll be?
I could be.
Attorney General of the Supreme Court.
Maybe I could be.
One of the special new judges who can put people in jail without trials that we've been talking about.
Hmm.
Like if they were right wing.

Thank you.
Welcome back, uh, to everyone.
And, uh, on right behind me, you see the lovely visage of a stone cold killer.
Um, Mr. Perjosion.
Um, Mr. Prozorzhin is the head of the Wagner Group.
The Wagner Group is the group that turned on Moscow last week and headed there in what appeared to be some kind of a takeover of Moscow.
Well, maybe yes, maybe no.
I mean, 25,000, even of the quality of the Wagner Group, which is, you know, very, very, very, very good, very, Vicious, very bloodthirsty soldiers.
25,000 doesn't seem to me to be the number that would allow you to take control of the Russian government, unless Khrushchev had indications that he was going to get wide and tremendous support from the Russian military, that the generals were going to defect on Putin because they wanted him out.
Obviously, that wasn't so.
Some people say he didn't even have 25,000.
He had more like 8,000.
We don't know.
Maybe we'll find out at some point.
But when he got, he immediately took Rostov on Don right away, which is right over the border.
But then as he started marching towards Moscow, it became apparent that it just wasn't going to work.
And the dictator of Belarus, Putin's friend, Lukashenko, intervened and offered him a way out, which is call off the men, bring them to Belarus where they'll get some protection until Putin makes up his mind exactly what he wants to do.
And Putin immediately pardoned the men.
If they were willing to put down their arms and either go home or join the Russian soldiers in their effort to take Ukraine.
As to the officers of the people in charge, including Mr. Prodrozhin, he said there would be a criminal investigation.
Prodrozhin maintains that he wasn't He wasn't attempting to take Putin down.
He was attempting to get a change in the military circumstances because of his disputes with the Minister of Defense.
These are all hard to figure out as to what exactly is going on.
Was Putin injured by this?
Yes, anytime there's a march against you, you're hurt.
But it didn't succeed, which is a plus from Putin's point of view.
It was contained with not much damage done.
And it showed that There isn't a massive desire emanating and coming up from the streets to get rid of Putin.
Otherwise, here was the opportunity.
And I think there were some people that either thought or hoped that that was the case.
And I don't have the kind of inside information inside of Russia to tell you if that's a pipe dream or a reality.
All I can tell you is when we now see what we just saw, We've got a pretty good indication that although Putin may be near the end, it may be the beginning of the end rather than coming to the end itself.
I think it's further along than just, there's nothing to this.
I think there is something to this.
Now there's an interesting theory by Kelly Jane Torrance in the Post, a very short but very interesting article that she wrote in which she compares this to Wag the Dog, which is the movie that was done during the Clinton era about pretend bombing in order to get political support.
And the idea here is that Putin Putin worked this out with Yevgeny Prokhorin to make this
move on him. It did elicit numerous people saying that Putin would be better than Prokhorin,
which is probably true, and therefore Putin got a boost out of it.
He convinced at least a lot of practical, real politic people in Europe that maybe what we're wishing for could be worse than what we have.
Now, I don't know if that's true.
I don't know if it isn't.
I think it is an interesting hypothesis really to make the point that we don't know what happened and therefore it could be any number of things.
So let's not get locked in.
in let's keep our minds open so that we can come up with the right one.
Okay.
Mayor, let's take... Mayor, let's hit the phone lines.
We have our friend.
Regular caller to the show.
Elliot in Detroit, Michigan.
And you can tell Elliot all about your trip this past weekend to Metro Detroit.
We won't say... You know, I'm going to show people my 4th of July jacket.
Right.
I've seen you.
Oh, wow.
We see it.
We see it, Mayor.
We're going to have this ready for the 4th.
Elliot is on the phone.
Elliot, I'll be with you in a minute.
Give us one second, Elliot.
I am cooling off here in this extremely hot room with all the lights on in what should be very cold New Hampshire.
So thanks for joining us, everyone, on another exciting episode of America's Mayor Live.
We like to call this the fastest hour on the Internet.
We'll show this off next week more.
Look at that jacket.
Look at the inside of that jacket.
So we have Elliot.
We have Elliot in Detroit.
Elliot, just give us one more minute.
I got you here.
And the mayor is going to want to tell you all about his trip to, again, Metro Detroit, not Detroit.
We didn't, unfortunately, we weren't able to get to the city, but Elliot, thanks for joining us.
Yes, sir.
No, I just had a question, Rudy, concerning what's going on with Anthony Blinken and Michael Carpenter.
in terms of the UPenn Biden Center as they both were directors of it.
Does the House have authority, since these guys are both in the Biden administration,
does the House have authority to pull them in front of Congress and ask them questions about
who were they receiving donations from in terms of this Biden Center and how much money were they being actually
paid?
Cause there is a report that president Biden got a one-time gift from university Pennsylvania for 900,000.
Well, if he got paid that much, how much were the directors of this, of this making and where is this money coming from?
Would they have to truthfully answer Congress these questions if they were subpoenaed?
Yeah, I would think that given all of the legitimate questions about how much, um, um, how much, uh, Money and how many, uh, give many, uh, very valuable things.
The red Chinese, uh, gave to, um, Biden both directly and indirectly.
And given the fact that the red Chinese were one of the biggest supporters of that particular foundation, they would definitely have to answer because it's a matter of national security among other things.
I mean, it's very, uh, I mean that whole, that whole Penn state or university of Pennsylvania situation.
is very stinky.
It reeks of a Chinese infiltration of a university, which, red Chinese infiltration of a university, which they've done all over America.
And of course, why not do it with a guy who's virtually one of your agents, Hunter and Joe Biden?
I mean, this guy's been on their payroll for who knows how long.
Blinken, Don't know that Blinken is about as left as left and wouldn't be surprised if he was left enough to fall into the arms of the Chinese.
He sure doesn't do a good job in negotiating with them.
He seems frightened as hell when he goes there.
Did you see that picture?
I don't know if I can still get it.
Did you see that picture of him shaking hands with Mr. Xi?
He looked like a supplicant.
I thought he was going to bow.
I mean, it's unfortunate, but the Chinese have invested a great deal of money in the leadership of our country, and they certainly own the top guy.
Do they own Blinken or not?
I don't know.
But it would be interesting to know how much money he got, where it came from, and what other ties does he have to China?
Because he sure is very deferential to China.
That's a very good question, though.
I'm glad you're on top of that.
Wasn't that a great question, Mayor?
Call us back.
We had a few calls here.
Give us a call.
Again, the number is 646-573-5177.
I see a call from Alder and Cleveland again.
Am I right or am I just reading it?
That is from last night.
Oh.
But we do have... It stays up there?
It stays up.
Well, I keep them on there.
But we now have on the air Rob in Secaucus, New Jersey.
Rob, you're on with the man.
How are you, Rob?
Hi, Rudy.
How are you?
There are a whole group of little things coming up on here that I can't possibly read.
You see the size of the print, Ted?
Yeah, I'm going to make that bigger.
I just thought maybe you were working with my eye doctor on an eye test.
I hope it's not an intelligence test.
Yes, Rob.
So yes, you know, I heard you on air today on WABC.
We're talking about that movie.
You can hear me okay?
I can hear you.
Yep, that you were talking about that movie, Wag the Dog.
That was a great movie.
And I think, you know, it seems to me almost, I mean, this would be a very controversial thing to say, but A fabricated war, basically, is what it was, you know, and it alluded to the fact... It was a fabricated war in a, like, a fictitious Eastern European country, I think.
Right.
And being done under the control of, you know, powerful people who have the bully pulpit in the media.
I mean, they can make anybody think whatever they want.
And to me, I wouldn't, you know, it occurred to me almost immediately when the coronavirus thing hit.
You know, I know it's very tinfoil haddish to even mention something like this, but I think it was quite peculiar that that happened the way it did, you know, immediately after a record number of impeachments and investigations.
I mean, when they couldn't get them on all of that, they had to pull out the big guns.
That's really what I think happened with that So we're not going to subscribe to this because we don't want them to say we're conspiracy theorists.
We're just going to talk about it, okay?
So as a hypothetical, a novel, what you're saying is, is it possible that that was orchestrated because I can remember people at that time before the pandemic saying, nobody can beat Trump.
Things are too good.
The economy is the best that it's been in, you know, depend on who you were but 30 years, 40 years, 50 years.
With regard to minority citizens that Democrats depend on, they were doing better than they ever had done in history.
Absolutely.
Trump was fulfilling the promises that Democrats had always broken.
We had, compared to now, a peaceful world, a really peaceful world.
I don't even think we appreciated how peaceful it was.
And on our way to some pretty remarkable, possible more permanent peace, like in the Middle East with the Abraham Accords, we had a Russia that sure as hell wasn't going to invade Ukraine.
So, they needed something of major proportion to throw it off, like a depression, like happened with Obama against McCain, remember?
In August, September, Of 2008, we had what they described as another Great Depression, which turns out to have meant just a bad recession that was exaggerated mightily by the press in order to defeat McCain.
Yes.
But this was much worse, and this was the worst pandemic in the history of the world ever.
It was worse than the Noah's Flood.
Well, it was, um, it was, it was, um, it was worse than the attack.
I mean, it was just, it was just awful.
And of course it was caused entirely by China.
The only thing, the only thing that makes me not want to give up the idea and write a novel about it is that China was involved.
Who better, who better to, you know, play, play a game with them than China.
Yeah.
And even, even the mitigation that, uh, that followed was, The worst thing that they could have done.
Every measure that they took to... Sure, sure.
Let's not let them get hydroxychloroquine in the first four or five days that they have it because that's when it actually cures it.
Let's wait until they get out of the hospital when it can't help and they drop dead.
Well, do you remember what the protocol was?
The protocol was you went into the hospital and they would say, okay, we want you to go home and relax.
I literally remember this.
And they would, when I heard it initially, I was like, are they kidding me?
They would tell people, go home, relax, take some Tylenol or something.
And if it gets worse, they want you to come back.
Sometime when you and I together with Dr. Maria will tell you what we went through during that period, because she was running a hospital then and she knew it was coming and she was ready for it.
And when she started listening to the protocols, I mean, she just didn't follow any of them.
By the way, I'm so interested.
She lost no one.
She lost no one in our hospital.
Excellent job, Dr. Maria.
Now, she could have.
I mean, she could have just, you know, doing the right thing.
You're still going to lose people.
But I mean, like Dr. Zielinski, who they tortured to death, basically.
Now, how about him?
Oh, yeah.
Four thousand people.
I think he lost four people or three people.
Right.
And they were like 905 years old.
Yeah, there were renowned epidemiologists coming out and they were just dumbfounded by what was happening.
People at the top of the profession came out against what they were doing and were destroyed The videos were taken down immediately.
And the public was not... I remember reading a headline in the Washington Post when I was going somewhere at some point and I said, this headline is going to kill people.
People are going to die as a result of this.
Whoever this idiot is that wrote this has just committed murder because it was a totally misleading one on hydroxychloroquine.
And hydroxychloroquine, it just saved the life of one of my friends who has a very Compromised lung and had to get that hydroxychloroquine like within the first day or two and his doctor wouldn't give it to him because Andrew Cuomo said you couldn't get hydroxychloroquine until you were in the hospital.
Now how the hell would Dr. Cuomo know when you should get hydroxychloroquine?
Yeah, and let's not lose sight of what this whole thing was about, after all, which is stopping Trump.
And it's really not stopping Trump, which Donald Trump is very right when he often says, this is not about stopping me, this is about stopping you, the people, and I just happen to be standing in the way.
He's 100% right in my opinion about that.
You know what gets me, since we're just talking, we're just talking.
Yes.
Whether they orchestrated it or not, whether they engineered it or not, which is a big jump, they certainly orchestrated it to advantage themselves and to hurt Trump.
Then that didn't work really, so they had to suppress the hard drive, which is probably one of the biggest cover-ups in American history.
Oh yeah, and now they're trying to indict him on all kinds of crap, and they're going after you as well.
Is there anything they wouldn't do?
I mean, why are people so shocked that it is possible that they fixed an election if they would do all those other things?
We know they did it.
Everybody knows they did it.
You know, I mean, the people have to learn to withdraw their consent from this nonsense, and you've got to look at who's the guy you want out there.
I mean, do we really want Biden?
Does a Democrat even really, will a Democrat actually look you straight in the eye and say, yeah, you know, I think Joe Biden is the best for the country.
Give me a break.
Thank you, Rob.
Always, always a good call when Rob checks in.
Thank you, sir.
We'll talk very soon.
Well, Mayor, just a few minutes left on what's been a very eventful and busy, fast-paced hour on America's Mayor Live here in Hookset.
We put Manchester on the screen, but technically we're in Hookset, New Hampshire tonight.
Which is a tad bit north of Manchester.
That's right.
Heading toward the capital of the live free or die state, which is Ted.
New Hampshire.
Capital of New Hampshire.
Oh, what is the capital of New Hampshire?
I believe it's Concord?
It is?
Wow, you put me on the spot there.
Obviously, he did not go to a New York public school with the teachers union teaching him.
I think I know that because of Dr. Maria.
However, well, there's a 50-50 chance I would have gotten it had I not been so closely I've been so close with you guys this past year.
I don't know that I would have gotten that.
Do you know all 50 state capitals, man?
No, probably don't.
Did you at any point in your life?
Yeah, when I was in school.
Sure, when you had to.
You know, the nuns used to make you recite it in the state capitals.
You bet you knew them then.
Yeah, all sorts of other things.
Things that they wouldn't be able to do now.
I'm going to tell people a couple of things.
One, I want you to call Kirk.
I really do.
I want you to get yourself straightened out before we go into the deep summer, because you're going to forget, and this recession is going to get worse.
And if you're down 17%, you're going to be down 22% when you come out of the summer.
So hedge a little, or a lot, depending on the analysis you come to.
This is like real American stuff.
They're not going to decide for you.
It's your money, not theirs.
I mean, the government decides for you.
They don't.
They're going to give you information.
You're going to decide.
Like a free individual.
And I, I would advise doing a little hedging and Kirk is a good guy to do it with.
His group is really, really foot laser focused on what's going on right now in the economy.
And I put them on every week to show you how he's up on what the heck is going on, which is what you need in an advisor.
Uh, the other thing I'm going to ask you to do now that it's the 4th of July and we're taking care of all our Patriots is go to my pillows.
.com slash Rudy and what do you need?
Sheets, pillowcases, a robe.
How about some slippers?
You need some slippers?
Great slippers.
And now this is my own, just two of my own recommendations.
You should get Imprimis every month from Hillsdale College.
I'm going to show you how to do that probably in the next day or two.
But you also should get the Epoch or the Epic Times, whichever you prefer.
I'm not allowed to show this because the last time I showed it, I showed my home address.
And everybody says I shouldn't show my home address, although you're invited over.
What the heck?
We have a lot of people over, right, Ted?
We do.
Of course, if you came now, I'm not there, but a lot of times we do travel a lot.
We don't want to give that away, but there's a... I'm going to see if I can take this off.
You're a man, you'll have to get through it.
Don't even think about coming by.
We got nice guys.
Oh, great guys.
There it goes.
Oh, I don't want to rip it.
I did.
Okay, well, this is the Epoch Times and I'll tell you, I'll just tell you the articles on the front page and you'll see why you're going to like it.
Supreme Court limits state authority in federal elections.
I have an interesting, I want to read this opinion because they're, um, who's, who's intruding on us?
I don't know.
It's some sort of notification from the phone.
I'm not sure which platform.
It might be an email.
You've got mail.
We don't know how to do Do Not Disturb correctly.
They have.
Supreme Court limits state authority in federal elections.
Now, it's a little deceptive because it's congressional elections.
And I don't know if the court notices, because they will notice when they do have to argue it, that the power of Congress is uh that congress is mentioned in article one with regard to um congressional investigations but it is not mentioned in article two with regard to uh presidential elections which is left in the sole discretion of the state legislatures and what difference does that make not decided on in this case and not part of this case but um
So read this article.
This is going to be an interesting test at some point.
Trump still dominates GOP rivals even after indictment.
Polling indicates huge lead while Biden is embroiled in troubles of his own over alleged foreign influence peddling.
How about just straight out and out crooked damn bribery?
Texas deadliest bonfire.
Questions linger about the fire that killed 18,000 cows.
At one of the country's largest dairy farms, rise in Chinese illegal crossing border, illegally crossing border.
Interesting, because let's assume that some of them or a lot of them are crossing because they want to get out of communist China.
Wouldn't the Red Chinese take advantage of that and slip in spies, operatives, the kind of people that used to hang around with Hunter Biden and sleep with him?
Uh, prices remain high as economy slows down.
That's why you call Kirk, huh?
All right.
We're going to call Kirk.
You want me to keep quiet?
Call Kirk.
And impact of Wagner mutiny on Russia remains unclear, which we will, we will, um, which we will be talking about again tomorrow as we get more information.
And a couple of good articles by really, really thoughtful people like Victor Davis Hanson, America Wakes Up Too Woke, I think it has, and Roger Kimball, The Art of the Deal, Russian style.
So you'll find great stuff in here, plus some human interest, art, music, stuff for children.
Kind of has a lot of things in there for homeschooling, which I think if I were a young parent now, and Andrew and Caroline were in the position of having to try to decide on what school for them to go to, I'm so upset with the schools that exist, I would think about it.
I'd even think about maybe teaming up with some of my friends, other couples, and seeing if you could put together a little school of your own.
And, you know, I had a friend who was, my closest friend, was a lawyer and accountant, and terrific with math, and terrific at history, and we could all take over different subjects.
So, we will be back tomorrow from New Hampshire.
We will surprise you as to the location and see if we can get, since we got here late today, we weren't able to pick up lots of information.
We'll have plenty of it for you tomorrow.
See if how real that poll is to test it against what's on the ground, which Maria will be with us.
So she's really good at that and talking to her friends.
I mean, that's all they talk about here is politics, politics.
Told you, everybody here has a PhD in politics.
The one you get at St.
Anselm's isn't as good as the one you get on the streets.
It's like everybody in Brooklyn was a baseball PhD when the Dodgers were there.
So we'll be with you tomorrow night.
We'll get more information about, I just have a feeling more and more of this Biden criminality is going to roll out.
I know there's, Plenty more to come, and there's going to be a little more lucidity on what's happening in Russia.
And let's see how the political campaign moves along.
But let's remain together because we cannot forget that we no longer have to stop our country from becoming socialist.
We've got to take it back.
Because they've made it that way already.
Tomorrow we'll spend a little time on what they've done to our schools.
Because that's one of the places where we have to do a lot of work.
We'll see you tomorrow night.
God bless America!
Our purpose to bring to bear the principle of common sense and rational discussion to the issues of our day.
America was created at a time of great turmoil, tremendous disagreements, 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.
We are able to apply our God-given common sense.
