America's Mayor Live (E216): Whistleblower: Hunter Biden Special Counsel David Weiss Must Step Down
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
For more humanitarian purposes is the byproduct now.
And the reason for that is we do not patrol the border any longer like we used to.
We go further than that.
We aid people coming in illegally.
We're prohibited from stopping people.
We stop Texas from stopping people.
And we do not vet people.
So when they show up next to your house, you have the foggiest idea who they are.
They could be a teacher from Honduras, or they could be a member of a massive gang that loves to kill women from Nicaragua.
Could be either one.
Like, oh, they could be like Juan Carlos Garcia Rodriguez, who was only 18 years old.
Looked like, I guess, a relatively decent young man.
I'm not sure he did, but nobody ever looked at him.
He came in in January.
Oh, gosh, within three days, within three months, he had killed an 11-year-old girl.
Oh, no, no, he didn't kill her.
He raped her and killed her.
And that's the one they caught him for.
That girl would be alive today if Biden weren't president.
Thank you, Joe, for that contribution.
Back to the tremendous violence you've brought forth in America.
Had he come in a few months earlier while Trump was still president, he'd still be sitting in Mexico, getting vetted by us, which you ignorantly, stupidly, or maybe on purpose because you want an open border, you did away with.
For this, I won't even say what you should get for this.
Now, just in case you think this is an isolated case, Mayor Adams, you know, is trying to get the other counties in New York to do something, and for that I'm gonna ask, I hope he's, is my son Andrew here?
The candidate for governor?
Because I'll hold up on this, I'll hold up on this when he's ready.
But I want to tell you that among other things, among the people coming in is an entire influx of people from West Africa.
Now, these are 8,500 Mauritanians.
We haven't had Mauritanians much.
I think we had altogether 1,000 the year before.
We got 8,500 in one month.
And they have actually been brought in for money.
Nicaragua, Made the deal with them, got them in Nicaragua, and then they came into the United States, and of course they had to pay for it.
So basically what the cartels are doing in Nicaragua and these countries that are virtually criminal through and through, they're selling the seats into the U.S.
If they don't use it for a drug transaction, if they don't use it for child pornography, if they don't use it for human trafficking, if they don't use it for fentanyl, and they use a lot for fentanyl, if they don't use it for getting a lot of money from ISIS, from letting them in, then they make their own deals.
They may go to more legitimate people, but expect big money from them to get in.
Nicaragua decided to do a little program with Mauritania and made a bunch of bucks by getting 8,500 Mauritanians to come in.
Beyond that, we don't know.
We don't know if there's a criminal purpose to it or it was just a straight out and out sale of getting into the United States illegally.
This is what is happening at our border.
All the different things that I said.
And I would say If this keeps up, and there's honestly no reason, there's no reason to suggest that it wouldn't keep up, this has got to be a major, major, major focus in our election, because it is affecting now the entire United States.
This was a Southwestern...
Texas, Arizona, New Mexico, California, and sometimes Florida issue.
And then a little bit the states above them, like Oklahoma, that would get a secondary impact.
The brilliant actions of Governor Abbott, and yes, I would say Governor DeSantis, pushed this to being a, put it right in the hands of the phony, hypocritical, lying, somewhat dictatorial left-wingers.
When they started sending him up to New York and Washington.
And now New York was a perfect one because they had Adams right in the middle of their target.
Adams was a terrible choice for mayor.
I was very much opposed.
Urge the people in my city to vote for Curtis Lee would work like hell to do that.
But we ended up with this make-believe cop as a mayor, and he made lots of promises about reducing crime.
But he also made tremendous, tremendously, ridiculously stupid statements about how New York is the greatest sanctuary city in the world.
You can't do better in New York City.
We're going to give you health care.
We're going to give you education.
We're going to give you a place to live.
You're going to love it here because we love immigrants.
Now, they have a lot of sanctuary cities in America.
Some of them operate on very generous rules.
Some of them operate on less generous rules.
Some of them operate pretty much on the rules, except they do a few humanitarian exceptions.
When you say Sanctuary City, you've got to distinguish.
You don't have to distinguish New York.
New York is the A number one, top of the list, the only place you really want to go, Sanctuary City, if you're an illegal.
Mayor Adams is now pulling out the last bit of hair that he has and having breakdowns because so many people have come into New York, 100,000.
It's costing him billions and billions.
It's taking a budget that is already out of balance and ready to go bankrupt, and it's ruining it.
It's taking the large record numbers of people that are leaving and exceeding it.
He had some success in bringing down murder and shootings.
No success with property crimes.
In fact, store thefts have gone up so much.
The stores that he doesn't use, people can't use because everything's locked up.
And he's getting a reputation, and this isn't going to be catastrophic for him, of being even worse than de Blasio because he can't follow through on anything that he says.
But it all goes back to the stupid comments he made about sanctuary cities and people coming here.
And now when he goes and he complains and he asks for money from the president and he asks for money from the governor, even though they should help him, of course, particularly the president who I guess you could say it's the other guy who created the problem, right?
Of the pound sand.
Hey, pal, you wanted it.
And then when he writes to the county executives and says, Hey, this should be all of New York's problem.
I'm the mayor of New York.
I'm willing to, I'm willing to try to help him to convince people outside New York to help.
But I don't know.
I'm a hell of a lot more persuasive than him, but I'm not sure I could win this battle because they look at me and say, wait, we didn't ask for them.
You did.
Did I say that Erie County was a sanctuary city?
No.
Did you?
Yes.
I gotta take your people.
So the guy in Erie County went along with it.
The guy in Erie County said, oh, okay, Eric.
It did happen to be that it was a fellow Democrat.
You do know if you live someplace with a Democrat running your city, state, or county, you are in far greater jeopardy of being killed.
You know that.
Well, he didn't seem to care about the safety of his people, and he let them come in.
Like a liberal jackass.
And I don't know if it was one day or two days, but they had two rapes on infant children.
But lucky the man has a conscience.
Realized his mistake.
Packed them on the bus.
Didn't even bother to call Adams.
And sent him right back down the thruway and said, get him the F out of here.
Don't you send any back.
Another guy, a Republican said, you come up here.
We're not letting you in.
And this guy, I guess, is a little tougher.
Adam's a really tough guy.
He said, and the other guy had been the sheriff there, about twice Adam's size.
He said, how about it be you and I at the border?
We don't have to get all the cops involved.
You bring them up, put the bus at the border, be you and me.
Adams has not shown up there.
Reminds you of the song, the Aldine song about the country.
We don't do it that way in a country.
The one, the small town.
Yeah.
Well, he tried a small town and the sheriff of the small town said, Hey Adams, come on up here.
I'm no corn pop.
So we're going to take a short break.
For Q-U-X first or for... Q-U-X!
Okay.
The year is 2022.
Cancel culture is the new normal.

He did.
Well, you know, unfortunately, when David Baldwin has a gun... We're all back?
The problem with David Baldwin, this would be my defense of David Baldwin, who says... Alec Baldwin.
Oh, Alec Baldwin.
You think I really pay attention to him?
Alec Baldwin.
He's the guy who... Alec Baldwin, the actor who... He's the one who miserably insulted his daughter, right?
Yeah, and he killed someone.
Yeah, he shot that woman.
Dr. Maria?
Dr. Maria, please!
Please!
He didn't touch that trigger!
Mayor, would you like to hear Jason Aldean speak?
I have an expert, Dr. Schnutzenbubble, and Dr. Schnutzenbubble is going to testify for for Alex and convert the expert who says that the trigger was pushed, that the gun couldn't operate without somebody pushing the trigger.
He's going to say, my name is Dr. Schnotzenbobo.
I study wind in the West and the wind in the West has been well known to push triggers, push triggers.
And Mr. Baldwin had no idea this was going to happen.
He pointed it at the girl's brain just for exercise.
You don't think that's true?
What I just said?
That he ain't got a witness to say that?
Boy, you guys have never been to trial.
Dr. Schwarzenegger has been on many, many cases.
And he testifies based on the, he doesn't, he testifies, you can get him, because he testifies the amount of money he did.
Well, Mayor, during the break you said how that Jason Aldean song is your new favorite song, and we have it playing in the background.
No, no, I think my other one is.
Rich Men North of Richmond.
We could play that too, but we got a little Jason Aldean here.
It was.
Louder, louder.
This wasn't a gift, it was.
Louder, louder.
Louder.
Yeah, you think you're tough.
Well try that in a small town.
See how far you make it down the road.
Around here we take care of our own.
You cross that line, it won't take long.
I'd like to walk down the streets of New York City with the guys from the small town saying,
we brought the small town here boys, and the PD took the night off.
What do you think?
PD took the night off.
ACLU's on their picnic.
The next day, there will be no crime in New York.
You will see.
You will see!
Mayor, did you actually hear how quote-unquote Mayor Adams said he is Gandhi, he wants to be Gandhi, and he acts like Gandhi?
He actually said this to a press conference.
You know I couldn't watch it.
Because I felt a great, great... I felt like this was the shortest conversion to Christ I've ever seen in my life.
Just five weeks ago, he was talking to Jesus Christ.
Now he's talking to God?
No, he is Gandhi.
Like how Dr. Fauci is science, he said he is Gandhi.
So he's Gandhi and he talks... Actually, I don't think he said he spoke to Jesus.
I think he said he spoke to God the Father.
Oh, I see.
He spoke to God.
So now he's Gandhi who speaks to God.
And he acts like Gandhi as well.
But he said his word.
He doesn't eat it.
He doesn't eat it?
He eats only vegetables.
He's a vegan guy.
That's almost like not eating.
Yeah, pretty much.
I don't know how you live like that, weird people.
Bad for your brain.
Mayor, so we have some more revelations on the Hunter Biden situation.
We're being told now that... Do we actually need anymore?
Hasn't he been putting off for 50 years by now?
Which Biden situation?
Who did he kill this time?
Which one?
Which one, Teddy?
And only 14 witnesses?
They must be blind.
Special Counsel David Weiss, the top investigator into Hunter Biden's criminal case, did not plan to charge the President's son with any crimes until after these two IRS whistleblowers came forward.
It was only after the IRS agents accused the Department of Justice of improper influence in the federal investigation into Hunter that Weiss decided to charge Hunter with the tax crimes.
According to correspondence that have been obtained, by the Daily Mail and other media outlets.
Attorneys for the whistleblowers said that if it weren't for their courageous actions,
Hunter would never have been charged at all.
So they really were gonna do a Hillary Clinton, which is a complete boot of the case.
Boot the case completely.
You know, Hillary Clinton case, when it got booted, to me seemed like you could never boot a bigger case than that.
33,000 emails, who knows how many classified documents.
I mean, Trump and Biden right now, they're looking at, well not looking at, Biden's just gonna, Biden gave him to China, he's gonna get away with it.
Trump moved him around in Mar-a-Lago and they want to go after him.
But in any event, that case is nothing compared to what she did.
One thing.
But that was a no, that was a fix. That was a fix done by Comey, done by Strzok. And because
they got away with that fix, they decided to continue fixing. If they had gone after
them properly and use the deterrence of the criminal justice system, we never would have
had the we never would have had to cover up the hard drive.
And the American people would have gotten the information they needed to kick Biden where
he belongs into a federal prison.
It's also being revealed that Mr. Weiss worked closer with Former then-Delaware Attorney General Beau Biden, rest in peace.
Yes.
It is being revealed that he actually worked closer than previously reported with the then-Delaware Attorney General, the elder son of Joe Biden, who unfortunately died of cancer.
But not on the battlefield as his father just two days ago repeated after being told five times that it's not true, which has to be the clearest indication that there is not a single person in the White House with the courage to be an American patriot and say, it's time to use the 25th Amendment and take this man away from any other thing that he can do to hurt the American people.
What did he do?
Anybody take a look?
I did not.
But what did he do today in Maui?
Did he sit on the beach and build sandcastles like he's been doing in New Jersey?
Any unfortunate incident with little girls?
So about an hour ago, it was put out that he signed a major disaster declaration.
Did he get the right place for it?
Because he couldn't figure out Maui when he was going there.
He said, the island that's been on television.
Was it Maui or the island that's been on television that they gave it to?
Of course he's in Houghton.
Joe Biden is in Hawaii today.
He's been on the ground now for a few hours.
Is he really there or is that a virtual?
Are we seeing a virtual?
Allegedly.
Artificial intelligence?
He's viewing the widespread damage from the recent wildfires, meeting with survivors, and he is also forced to fend off Criticism that his response was too slow.
What say you mayor?
What I say is it's another example of a completely biased press because this is Worse certainly no better than Katrina and look what they did to Bush over over Katrina and look what they're doing to him over He didn't even risk Bush responded.
He stayed on the beach and then said no comment.
I Mean I'm sure he was very helpful there.
But did they at least give him a little time on the beach so he could see if the sand in Hawaii is like the sand in Delaware and you can make the same castles?
Did he hurry back to Lake Tahoe?
Well, certainly, he's coming to Hawaii, take a little bit and get it.
To the people of Hawaii, we're with you for as long as it takes.
Where does he stay in Hawaii?
Do you know where he stays in Hawaii?
I promise you, the president said in some brief remarks.
Is it the Happy Valley Nursing Home right outside of Hawaii?
Okay, now we're gonna have... I've been looking forward to this.
Andrew, come here.
Well, I can tell you that I was not missing at the Happy Valentine.
First, tell us where you're coming from.
I'm actually coming from Lithuania as a matter of fact.
My wife and daughter are still in Europe right now and you know it was interesting when I landed my natural reaction when you see that skyline is it's good to be home and then I caught myself and I thought for a second and I wondered if coming back to New York City and the United States of America in this day and age if I was coming to a freer country than leaving Lithuania and a former Soviet bloc country.
Because there are no political prosecutions that are currently going on in Lithuania or in the Baltics.
And talking to your wife, this is not a scientific, but just discussions with the, you are clearly coming into a much more constricted, much more dictatorial country, particularly since you're a conservative Republican.
Yeah.
If you were a Democrat, you'd be coming into a country with great benefits and like the communists do when they return to China.
Well, I was thinking about changing my name to Biden comma Hunter.
I don't know if that might be good.
Is that a good idea?
And my art skills are getting better.
I'm picking up a stick figure at this point.
So if anybody wants to buy it, if any foreign intermediaries are listening for half a million dollars, I can draw something up in about five minutes.
There's something you would have to do that your mother and father would be very upset about.
You would have to indicate that you're having questions about gender change.
Oh man, you know I read an article while you were gone which I'll give you a copy of in the New Epoch Times about how the proliferation of vaccines for children in developed countries like America, now based on a couple of peer-studied reviews, shows that you get to the point of so many vaccines that it switches and the mortality rate goes way, way up in the developed countries.
Like, we're something like 55th now.
Well, I actually covered part of this on my show a couple of weeks ago.
Right, I know you did.
And basically, the difference is when I was an infant in 1986, in the first 12 months, you'd have five shots over 12 months.
Three different things, five shots.
Now, a child, I believe, would be recommended by the CDC to get 29 shots.
So you're looking at six times the amount.
If you look, you now see that autism is five times, you're five times more likely as a child today to get autism than you were 37 years ago.
Now, I'm not saying that that is the reason, but I do think the American people deserve to have real legitimate studies on whether or not that is.
This study traces it not to autism, it traces it to mortality.
And it says that the children with the lesser vaccines, by and large, have much better mortality rates in the first five years than the ones with it.
Now, it's worth reading, it's in this Week's edition of the New Epoch Times.
And it gives you the studies, so you can look them up and read them and make the choice yourself.
Not like the New York Times, you know, which basically makes it very hard to find the studies.
And then the studies turn out to be by people who were paid to do them that way.
And of course, everything the New York Times said about the COVID vaccine turned out to be a malicious lie.
However, we want to talk about the election.
So we got the big debate coming up.
Yes.
What do you think?
Should we do our, let's do it.
Let's do it.
Let's do it before we do anything else.
Let's do our ad and then everybody can think this.
I'm going to ask a question.
Who's going to be, who's coming out number two?
Well, and the other question I have before the ad quickly is, will you be watching the Trump Tucker interview?
Of course, after America's Mayor Live, will you be watching the Trump Tucker interview or the debate?
Which one will you be watching live?
Towers Foundation delivers on its promise to do good and never forget the sacrifices America's greatest heroes have made for us.
Heroes who risked their lives to keep our communities and our country safe.

The little ones, the little ones I'm going to make up into Christmas ornaments.
That wasn't supposed to be a Hunter Biden joke either.
I get how that could have been.
That was supposed to be just a nice Christmas joke.
But everybody has a dirty mind these days.
Show me one of the little ones.
Please drink some water, Mayor, though.
It kills me that you have six pills in your mouth.
That doctor can't stand it.
I take my pills without water.
That's because I choke once.
Veggies, and this is the fruits.

So we're going to talk about, seriously, about vaccines.
Oh no, I think we're going to go into politics.
Oh, okay.
We are.
The vaccines we did already.
Okay.
Yeah.
Here.
So we have, we have the debate coming up.
Let's take the number two person first and then let's take the overall question, which is more interesting, the 5%, 10% people or the guy who may be the next president?
So you can see what I'm thinking.
Let's start with Andrew since he's our guest first.
Well look, I was a big believer up until the Trump announcement, and I actually, when I talked to him a few weeks ago, I had mentioned this to him, that I thought that he should go out there for this debate in particular, and go out there, debate, do one, Uh, as I told them to kick their ass, we could say this because it's on social media, kick their asses and say now the JV goes.
Put it away, put it away.
And my thinking behind it was that people would just be too curious about the other candidates.
For many of them this is the first major presidential, this is their first major presidential debate.
And you're at a time of the year where you don't have primetime shows starting.
Football has started already.
This is kind of the big event of the month.
But what he did from a counter-programming perspective, which was so brilliant, is he took another guy who moves the needle.
You can argue that in the conservative world, He may move, he may be the second kind of biggest needle mover at this point, aside from Trump, which is Tucker Carlson, who certainly also has a major grudge for very real reasons against Fox and said, you know what?
We're going to, we're going to shove it where the sun doesn't shine.
I think he's got even, well, maybe not.
And, and the truth is when I asked the question and I'm, I have an idea where most of our audience stands, but when I asked the question of what will you be watching live, I'm going to tape the debate and I'll watch the debate later in the evening.
But I'll be watching the Trump-Tucker interview live, because I'm fascinated to see what that dynamic is like.
I'm fascinated to see what Tucker says about Fox.
I'm fascinated to see what, because I don't think Tucker has really interviewed Trump at all, maybe even when he was president.
That wasn't something, Trump didn't go on Tucker.
He would go on with other people.
He had one interview with him when things were going bad, one interview, a good one.
With Tucker?
Yeah, he had one interview with Tucker, and it was good.
It was a good interview, but not in depth.
How about we throw this into the question, give us two winners and two losers for debate night.
Just in general, two winners, two losers as far as we go around.
We don't know until they debate.
You want to do yours?
what I'm watching live. I'll tape the debate. I'll watch it later in the evening. But it'll
be...
How about we throw this into the question, give us two winners and two losers for debate
night. For debate.
Just in general, two winners, two losers as far as we go around.
Okay.
We don't know until the debate.
You want to do yours? You're two winners and two losers?
Sure. Well, I'll tell you what, I think it's going to be a very... I mean, talk about a
real change in strategy with this Vivek answer that we heard today.
Now, I haven't actually seen this.
I've only seen the highlights, so I've got to actually see the clip.
But for him to say that he's going to reduce aid to Israel, In a presidential debate, that is going to be something that is, you know, chum in the water for these guys.
So he's going to start off where I think he was really going to start on offense on this debate.
Somebody who didn't have a record, who was going to be able to go and take it to other people.
I mean, you could see this being a situation.
I like him a lot.
Excellent.
Yeah.
You know, think about Bloomberg and Elizabeth Warren, or think about Christie and Mark Rubio
from eight years ago.
This is going to be something that every single one of the candidates is going to hit him
with.
So he's going to start off on defense, and you're going to see how good this guy really
is.
Is he good enough to shed this, or is he not?
You're going to know in about five minutes whether or not it's going to be a good night
or a bad night for him, because it's going to be very obvious.
So in a way, DeSantis already faced this problem when he tried to suck up to Tucker by sending
the letter about how much he was going to be tough on Ukraine, Ukraine money.
He wasn't going to support Ukraine just as a knee jerk.
Because Tucker takes that view, that Ukraine, we made very big mistakes there and we're funding a forever war.
Then all of a sudden he got a tremendous blowback from the regular Republicans in Ukraine, you know, you're going to make Putin the winner.
360, 180.
And handle it very poorly.
When he did it, it's a little bit how you look.
You look like He was lying!
It looked like he was... So it's gonna be very interesting how he handles it.
Dr. Maria!
Well, it's hard to say how they're gonna do because we haven't seen them before, but I am quite fascinated, as you know, with Vivek, like cake.
I did learn from his campaign how to say his name correctly, and I know you've interviewed him, Mayor, on your... You know, I have a high view of him, with this one exception.
With this one exception, he's been doing everything seemingly right.
Even how he responded to a young lady who seemed to want to trap him in something about LBGTQ.
That was a good job.
He did a very good job.
And what I liked what he did too, he asked her, well, how do you feel?
After he responded, he said, how do you feel?
So he engaged her and then he thanked her for being polite and respectful.
But, yeah, I'm so pro-Israel.
I didn't like it.
I didn't hear it myself, but I don't like it that he said that.
One mistake, am I going to throw him out with the bathwater?
No.
We did on America's Mayor Live interview, oh God, what's his name from Michigan?
Perry Johnson.
And when I first saw Perry, he looked a little bit like a cartoon character.
He's very pale, skinny, tall, and flaming red hair.
But he's actually quite practical and he believes in efficiency.
Is he president material?
I feel like he belongs somewhere in the cabinet or something that might get rid of government wasteful spending or something.
But a true guy, like a salt of the earth type guy.
Has he made the debate stage?
He has.
He finally made it last minute.
He did make it.
No one else I really care about.
The other guy, look, and now that Trump is off the stage.
That's what I said on Uncovering the Truth!
I want Bobby Kennedy on that debate!
And Marianne Williams!
And Crystals!
What about give us a potential loser?
Or do you not want to predict that at this time?
Without seeing them all together, you know, it's not really a debate like we knew of high school debates or college debates where you take an issue and you give legal stance to it or different arguments.
These are like five-second sound bites, so it's really hard to tell.
But you can tell how people put up with pressure.
And this is the thing that's turned me a little off about DeSantis.
I have so much respect for what he's done in Florida.
But he seems to shy away.
He won't come on any of our programs.
We've invited him and invited him.
He won't go on, and I kind of don't blame him for CNN, but I appreciate Vivek doing that.
But he wouldn't even go on with Tucker.
As Rudy just mentioned, he had to send a letter.
And say in response to the whole Ukraine thing, he wouldn't actually go on the program.
And I don't know, has he gone on since?
I don't know if he ever went on with Tucker.
So he shields himself, which makes me worried.
Surprisingly, Chris Christie's doing well in New Hampshire.
And you guys know how I feel about New Hampshire.
I think we can't do anything wrong.
But this is wrong.
I would have thought he would do terrible in there.
He's like neck and neck for number two with Vivek.
You know, neck and neck.
Well, I shouldn't say that.
DeSantis is in there too.
Please.
It's neck and neck.
Nine percent.
That's 25 people and 25 people.
Chris Christie has a neck?
He's got many necks, actually.
He's got many necks.
He's got a neck already.
Nine percent.
The Trump is at 120, so the poll's really over.
The two of them are all high-fiving themselves, and they both have 9%.
Look, I think right now you're going to see whether or not the DeSantis campaign goes on or not.
Because we mentioned, I mentioned earlier on, Vivek is going to take the incoming in the first five to ten minutes on this, I think.
But DeSantis, I think, is going to get the incoming throughout the entire debate.
Because I think there are more people that are trying out to be vice president, to our question here, than are trying out to be president.
And what better way to make Trump happy- But not Christie.
Well, no, not Christy.
But Christy and DeSantis also have a beef with each other as well.
So there's, you know, for different reasons, I think Christy is going to go after DeSantis as well.
Not Pence, but I think, you know, I think Nikki Haley probably will.
I think Tim Scott probably will.
I think Vivek and DeSantis probably will.
Look, DeSantis' memo from his Super PAC leaked just a couple of days ago.
saying that he should go after Vivek at some point in there and call him fake Vivek or
something like that.
So I think DeSantis is going to get a lot of incoming and you're going to see whether
or not DeSantis can handle the pressure or not.
He has not been a good campaigner up until this point.
This is going to be either a turning point or just a continuation of a campaign that's
only gone downhill from the announcement.
Mr. Ted, what do you say?
So DeSantis, day 29 of the reboot.
So the big winners, I think Vivek's going to come out big as a winner.
And I agree with what we've been saying about the recent comments.
I believe that he's going to come up with a response.
We'll see what happens there.
We're gonna hate this one, but I think Christie, in a weird way, not with us, definitely, but in a way, Christie could come out as a winner after the debate, right?
You saw what he did to Marco Rubio.
The guy, whether we like it or not, the guy is a great, like, classic campaigner, like, retail politician.
So I can see him on that stage, right?
Throwing his weight around and really kind of establishing himself as a You know, as someone who comes out looking good, right?
Because the media is also gonna help him.
So I'm not even saying it's a fair fight.
But with the media helping him and his raw...
talent when it comes to being a retail politician.
In a weird way, Chrissy might come out looking okay.
Among the crowd of people, right, that don't want Trump, and a lot of them went to Santa's early, right?
I think some of those folks might look now and be like, wow, you know, maybe if I go with Chrissy, the guy's at least taking a, you know, taking shots at the president.
So, Yeah, but Christy, I think, and this is where I think candidates are going to really have the opportunity to go after him.
Christy said very early on in his campaign that he would keep Ray on as FBI director.
And I think that just shows just how much Christy is out of touch with the criminal crisis that's going on in this country.
And I think that, you know, you're right.
Chris Christie is very good at the one-line.
He understands how to make the news clip and the soundbite, whether you hate what he's saying or whether you like what he's saying.
He understands.
But I think that was a fatal blow because I think it showed that he cares more about Chris Christie and the Chris Christie campaign and getting dollars from Trump haters than he does about the Constitution and this crisis that's going on in our country.
Who are your picks, Andrew?
I'm going to be watching the Trump-Tucker thing.
I don't even know.
Trump is going to be the big winner, I guess.
It's a good question.
You know, before this, I would have said Vivek because I think he really has a, I think he's got a great knack for it.
He understands the popularity contest of the presidential campaign.
I think Scott will be good, right?
I mean, so much of this is trying to figure out how you can get enough time.
If you're talking 8, are we at 9 people in the debate?
So potentially 10 or 11 people at this debate.
How are you going to be able to get your 5, 6, 7 minutes?
Who has the sharp elbows to be able to do that?
Let's see.
I'll go with Tim Scott.
I'll be rooting for Tim Scott.
I like Tim a lot.
I think he's a solid guy.
I think you don't have a lot of people that have Great morals in politics.
I think Tim Scott does.
And I'll be rooting for him.
I'll be rooting for him.
Question about the memo.
Mayor Andrew, Dr. Maria, Mike, does that... What memo?
The Never Back Down memo that got out.
DeSantis' super PAC, and we say leaked, but we know how that works, right?
It was posted to the website.
Does that set him up to fail?
Because, I mean, if he follows the memo, Yeah.
It's like, look, oh, the guy just, he does whatever the super PAC and his money people tell him to do.
Nobody cares about him.
If he doesn't, okay.
It's a debate.
Nobody cares about him.
They care about his performance.
All they care about is how he looks and sounds that night.
Whoever looks and sounds best is going to win.
Then there'll be an analysis of it and you might find a mistake or two you didn't see the first night out and it could get reversed.
But it's a quick, and you get, Andrew, they're gonna have, I calculated, I did 11 of those.
About five were major, you know, eight people.
I always calculated, I feel, about 11-12 minutes.
Wow.
Yeah.
That's all I had.
You had 11 debates?
Wow.
No, no, I had 11 debates, but about 11 or 12 minutes.
Oh!
So we would do the debate preparation like you did, but then we'd do debate preparation, spend a little more time on Real disciplined about what we wanted to say.
What were the five messages I could get out?
And I would write them down on my hand sometimes.
I'd write down on a piece of paper a card so that I didn't forget.
You know, I wanted to get out crime.
I wanted to get out of immigration.
I wanted to get out of Iraq.
And I wanted to make sure there was one maybe hit or two that I wanted to do.
Because I knew I would not do all of it.
And I put them in order.
One, two, three, four, five.
Mike, what do you think?
So I think, well first of all, while you guys were all chatting over there, a bunch of cocky add-ons over here, I was looking at the Vivek thing.
He didn't say anything preferably about Israel.
He basically just said that he only wants to commit to one country.
He said there's no North Star commitment to any one country other than the United States.
And when they asked about Israel, he said he would respect Obama's grants until 2028, and then he'll reassess the aid that we give to Israel.
I don't like it, but he didn't say that he doesn't like Israel.
He just said the only country that matters is the United States, right?
We get that, but the minute you say Obama and Israel... He has some explaining to do.
I would say we have one or two things.
And this is the key for me.
Is it real?
Does he have an issue with Israel?
If he does, he's gone, as far as I'm concerned.
Or was it just his being an amateur and not realizing?
If you're going to take on an issue like Israel, like you're going to take on Social Security, and you're a new candidate, and you're at 80%, you got to be pretty damn careful.
That you know what you're doing.
Because you can not only hurt yourself now, you can hurt yourself forever.
Israel is a forever issue.
It's not a... I told Vivek this when I met with him.
Best thing for you is you come out of this campaign Yeah, handle some pretty good issues.
You look like you run a good campaign.
Always risk.
We all run.
You can make the career-ending mistake.
He doesn't figure out this is real thing.
He's gone.
Do you think he was trying to appeal to Democrats maybe to like to get up?
Then he's not a politician.
Maybe he thought he was trying it with that comment.
He's trying to get votes from both sides.
He's getting ready for a Republican debate.
He's thinking about the Democrats.
Then he's in the wrong business.
He's a kid.
It's his first campaign.
I'm very pro-Israel, I'm just letting everyone know.
A lot smarter than him that blew up.
I just think his comments were taken way out of context, saying that he's anti-Israel.
Yeah, I think we just gotta give him a chance to explain himself.
He has to explain himself.
That's all.
But I agree with Andrew.
Tim Scott will definitely be very interesting because he's already primed and ready.
He's been a senator for a long time.
He knows what he's doing.
He knows how to debate.
So I look forward to Tim Scott and Vivek and the others.
I honestly don't care about them, to be honest with you.
Obviously Trump is the man here, but he's...
Mike, what do you think of Doug Burgum?
That dude looks like...
That dude looks like...
North Dakota, right?
North Dakota?
Okay, good.
I got that right.
That dude looks like he smells like mildew or something.
I don't know what's up with that guy.
He's a weirdo.
He's a good speaker.
Never heard of him, but like I said, I only care about Tim Scott, Vivek, and obviously
Donald Trump, but I won't be watching the debate.
I'll probably be watching the Tucker.
Nikki Haley, definitely Nikki Haley.
Chris Christie.
I don't have a beef with her.
I just don't think she really wants to be president.
I don't take her serious, honestly.
Like Chris Christie, I take more serious than Nikki Haley.
But I think he's going to go after Trump a lot.
I think he's going to be the anti-Trumper up there and he's going to try to appease moderates by being anti-Trump.
That's what I think.
That's my personal opinion.
We did that already.
You're next.
You're next.
ABC.
That's right. ABC.
He was. I don't know if he is. He was.
He was on ABC.
Like I said, he's going to attack Trump and try to get the moderates
on his side. That's my...
If I were debating him at some point, I would use the line, Chris,
we're so crowded in this debate.
You really, listening to you on ABC now for four years, why don't you join up with Robert Kennedy Jr.
and that Williamson and have your own democratic debate.
Get the hell out of here.
But I think considering all these indictments.
You suck up, for money you've been sucking up to two shoes for so long.
But you consider how the Department of Justice has handled these political prosecutions, which we're dealing with right now in this country.
I think every single one of those candidates should be ready for an attack on Christie because of what he said about Wray.
I think the two candidates that have the most explaining to do for comments that they've made are Vivek on this comment on Israel and potentially cutting aid in the future, potentially, and Chris Christie on keeping Wray in there.
Yeah. Or if you really want to, you want to get you want to have fun?
Yeah.
Is it isn't the real have fun? Of course. Isn't the real reason you weren't appointed
attorney general because of your because of your extremely irresponsible, publicity laden
prosecution of Donald Trump's or of Jared's father?
I mean, everybody in the Republican Party knows that was a publicity stunt, and you've been scarred by that forever.
And then you let everybody else take the hook for it.
You let everybody go to prison but you.
Yeah, why'd you shut the bridge down, Chris?
Nobody will remember Bridgegate, but look, you're all bitter.
It's all water under the bridge.
If he attacked me, I would say he's run his campaign like a child, like a bully child in the playground.
He's upset at Trump.
I'm going to tell you why he's really upset at Trump.
He's upset at Trump because Trump wouldn't nominate him because he conducted a prosecution
of Charlie Kushner's father that everybody knew was a publicity stunt.
It was a ridiculous personal situation, as silly as some of these cases right now.
And then he let everybody go to jail except him for Bridgegate.
And then not a person in the world doesn't know he conceived it.
But he let everybody take the hook for him.
This is the perfect antithesis of a guy that could be a good president.
He's a coward.
Well, Mayor, I just googled Chris Christie Trump.
Not all fat people are cowards, but sometimes they are.
I just googled Chris Christie Trump and liberal and Republican headlines alike say Chris Christie will not even make a sound without Trump at the debate.
So I think we're all in agreement that he's not going to do well without Trump.
I disagree.
Again, it's not because I am 100% with Trump.
You guys know that.
I'm just saying for these other candidates.
It'd be stupid for them to go into this debate and just think Christie's gonna... But Chris Christie is a master debater.
He's very good.
He's the only one who's been so anti-Trump out of all these candidates.
That's all he's been anti-Trump, anti-Trump.
Everything is about Trump with him.
Yeah.
He's very anti-Trump.
Yeah.
It's Elaine that he's willing to fill that other side.
He needs Trump there.
He needs Trump there.
He's filling Elaine.
The media needs Christie.
DeSantis hasn't even been that anti-Trump.
Yeah.
He hasn't.
Christie is so anti-Trump that he would reappoint Christopher Wray, somebody who is blocking Congress.
Blocking us from being able to truly investigate what is going on with this family.
That's a good point.
He won't admit it now.
And that, when you talk about the fun of all this, when you talk about the seriousness of this job and the importance of figuring out who is going to be the person to represent the 340 million people of this country, Or who's running to be the vice president of this country.
Another thing to ask him is, hey FXO, you would keep Chris Wray, even though he sat on the hard drive, that would completely destroy Biden as a candidate.
We would not have had him as a candidate president if it wasn't for that hard drive.
Is he sitting on something for you?
Is that why you'll do it?
That was a Christie pick, wasn't it, right?
Yeah.
Oh, absolutely.
That was his lawyer in Bridgegate, and that's 100% Christie.
What's he sitting on to you?
I mean, you'd be the only Republican to go in there that could keep the Justice Department weaponized.
I mean, you and Ray got a relationship like this.
And you've been known for being a bully.
Look what you did with Jared's father.
You got a big reputation for being a bully, and you got an FBI director who withheld information.
25 American people say if they had it, they'd elect somebody else.
Look, what does he have for you?
You may be the only guy in America who'd reappoint him.
He must got a lot of good stuff for you.
Look, Mayor, a direct quote from Chris Christie.
Chris Christie says DeSantis should drop out if he defends Trump at debate.
You see what I'm saying?
Yeah.
This guy is so like that's all he's about is anti-Trump.
Without Trump.
He's filling the lane.
Yeah.
If you take emotions out of it, right, the guy is filling a lane that no one else
has been willing to do.
And if you're running in a primary against a former president.
How's that go for him?
I mean, it's incrementally, it's going better and better.
It's not going to go anywhere, right?
We know it's, but I'm just suggesting that there is not a single lane that others aren't willing to do.
We'll see.
It can be very interesting.
It often turns out different than you think.
And it's a very, very hard to predict.
It's hard to predict debate because there's so many people.
Yeah.
I mean, it could be some.
just think we don't anticipate, you know, some wise, wise, wise.
Who knows who knows what the what the story will even be tomorrow on pre-debate day.
So I'd love to hear some more of your analysis tomorrow on America.
And I really think that what people really want in a debate.
Because you can't get it, you can't do the.
These detailed policy things that they want aspirational.
They want somebody that they can attach to and say, this guy shares my values.
He gets across enough of his conservative heart and soul that they buy the rest of it.
He doesn't have to do the rest of it.
They just buy it and they like them.
And they think that he's got a vision for the future.
He connects with their hopes that America can get out of this.
That would be the thing to do.
If you can do that and talk about not just the things that are wrong with America, but then how you would fix it.
Yeah.
I think Christie's going to be so blinded by it.
And if Christie gets a little wild and crazy, I'd use him to help me.
I'd say, well, I'm sorry.
I'd do exactly the opposite.
I mean, Mr. Christie is known for being involved with people that, you know, that withhold evidence and do things like that, like Ray.
But I have a different kind of background.
My view is you throw them all out of the FBI and we start new.
I think he's going to be so blinded by the rage that he has for Trump.
How can you possibly keep this organization?
They've committed more crimes than I can count.
Is there a reason you want to keep the criminal organization?
You want them to help you the way they helped Obama and Hillary and Biden?
You don't, Chris, I don't think you need them.
You haven't committed 100 felonies like the Bidens.
Just the one.
Case in point.
Well, Mayor, you've done these debates, right, in presidential cycles, and this early, are these candidates speaking, how much of it are these, if you're advising these candidates, are you advising them, are you speaking to just these early states, or are they speaking to the whole country, donors, or is it really everybody, right?
Can you even, shrink down that audience?
Or are you telling them you guys are speaking to all these different people, right?
Donor.
Or are you, like, is Ron DeSantis honing in on the Iowa caucus voter because he needs to do well
in Iowa to keep this thing going?
I don't want to use Christie, cause he's going, no, the Vick, New Hampshire.
They actually, actually, it's so big, they all have the same objective.
I think it's important to make a point that, you don't have to make a point,
make a point you can live with and run the rest of your campaign on.
And one that, even if they don't, you can go back to the debate and say, at the debate I said I would do away with the FBI, rename them and reorganize the federal agencies, and look at what Christie did.
Christie's going to stay in bed with the same criminals that are there.
Something like that, if he wants to make that point.
Or you could say, Uh, I'm going to, um, what are Americans most concerned about right now?
The economy, right?
I'm going to, I'm going to, you know, I tell you my first thing, my first concern is going to be, yeah, all these things.
We're gonna take them all on day one of the economy.
Day two is straightening out the agencies, but day one is the economy.
There's no reason why you people should be spending more money for your food than you are.
It's all, it's all because of, it's all because of Joe Biden or, Whatever it takes, that border will be closed in three days.
I'll go down there myself. It'd be a real shock to see a president down there.
Hasn't been one down there since Trump.
So you're really speaking, it's not about who you're speaking to as much as what you're,
you go in there with your set of goals, objectives, what you want to do.
I would say, I would do for the board what I did for New York City.
Yeah, so okay, that's right.
So it's really about tailoring your message to who you are and what sets you apart from the field.
Yeah, absolutely.
Vivek is going to come in there and make the presentation that I'm the outsider, right?
With fresh new ideas.
This country needs new ideas.
That's his presentation.
DeSantis is going to say, my success in Florida is going to translate to my success nationally.
Tim Scott is going to say, I've worked well in Washington, even though it's a dysfunctional place.
I understand the swamp, and because I understand the swamp, I can beat the swamp, right?
So they're all going to have their message to tailor out.
In doing that, but I think dad is absolutely right.
You don't make a big mistake in debates.
You can see that there's nobody who goes on and even the biggest moments from debates, a lot of times, at least in primary debates, they're not going to carry somebody to victory in a primary, but you see moments that people remember.
And I think I love the guy.
Uh, but people remember Rick Scott's moment.
Rick Perry's moment.
Oops, I was there in the audience in Michigan.
That was in Detroit.
Yeah, well, forgetting that third point.
People remember that.
People remember what happened with Christie and Marco Rubio, right?
People remember kind of Trump and Jeb and how Trump was the charismatic candidate and Jeb Was not.
And, you know, Jeb's campaign ended pretty soon.
So people remember if you make big mistakes.
Don't make big mistakes.
And I thought that was a very good point.
Say something in the debate that you can run the rest of your campaign about.
Even if you don't win, if you come out with a positive point, you're alive to fight another day.
And if you try too hard to win, and there's a difference.
Now Andrew had three, four person debates.
They're different.
Yeah.
And three, four person debates, you can try to win.
Yeah.
Really two person debates, you try to win.
Yeah.
Minute it gets to three or four, it's more like you want to be the better.
And Andrew always came out the best.
Andrew, how did you prepare for debates?
Look, combined right here, I'm looking at the experience combined, right?
We got city debates, got gubernatorial debates, presidential debates.
He's got 99% of the experience.
I've got 1%.
But he has recent experience.
Gubernatorial, gubernatorial.
But his debates were an interesting type of debate where you could have You get deeper into policy because instead of the 11 minutes, you had probably 20 minutes or so where you can make your case, your presentation right there were, you know, when you when you talked about the city, you can really go into
different cities around the state and what you would do in a place like Rochester versus New York City versus Buffalo.
You could talk about the different areas.
I mean, you know, they're not going to have that luxury in this debate where they're going to be able to hone in on different areas.
Look, you'll probably have some that will, that will, I'm sure there'll be a, you know, we feel terrible for the victims in Maui.
You know, there'll be an ode to that in there, but you're not going to be able to look over that.
It's a few things that you can say that say something about you.
Now in a three, four person debate like he had, you can get into details, but not too much.
You also could get too detailed and they say, oh, that guy's a wonk.
I don't want him.
They want a guy with a good personality that can show he has commanded the issues.
Bill Clinton.
Bill Clinton, great commander of the issues, great personality. He had both. By the way, Trump
has been the commander of the issues. People don't realize it. They keep saying, oh, those shows that
he puts on, he talks about everything.
He does.
And he knows it.
He speaks a lot of the common sense, but he talks about everything.
You know, one of the examples is something that he presented in Republican primary debates that other candidates weren't talking about was China, right?
He presented China As the enemy that we know it is before any other Republican or any other really politician was really willing to talk about it, certainly on that stage or on that level and he set it apart and he spoke to a lot of Americans who had lost their jobs, a lot of Americans who lost their jobs because, you know, those jobs were moving across borders.
Before we go, I gotta get it from both of you here.
Andrew, you can pick.
You can both pick.
All right, you can pick here.
Yeah.
A memorable debate experience that you've experienced, or you can pick one from your father.
Pick yours.
And then I'm going to ask you the same question, and you can pick a moment from Andrew's.
But go ahead, Andrew, first.
I'm giving you guys some options here.
Well, it was fascinating for me because two debates of the three debates I was in, I was not in the same room as those other candidates because I didn't take the vaccine.
Oh, that's right.
And because of that, and as crazy as this is, and actually it's funny because Marcia Kramer, funny enough from CBS News, just asked for a request of your interview.
And I had said, you guys are going to have to rent the studio somewhere else because he hasn't had the vaccine there.
No, at CBS and at New York One, they would not allow me in the same room as the other candidates.
And all the other candidates agreed, look, if he takes a COVID test and passes, that's fine.
He should be in there.
They would not let me in the room.
It was only the final debate that they would let me in the room.
So it was truly a unique experience trying to actually connect when you're in a completely different room as the other candidates.
But in the final debate, I'd say the final One of the last questions I got was, you know, it seems like you're running on your father's name in all your campaign material.
You mentioned Giuliani and you rarely mention Andrew too often.
And I just said simply, do you know how tough it is to try to win a Republican primary with a name like Andrew in a state like New York?
And it got a good round of applause.
It's lines like that.
Yeah, that's funny.
I love that line because there's nothing we can say with a name like Giuliani.
It's like Reagan to have a moment like that.
I gotta remember that one.
Andrew, the real highlight for Andrew was the first debate, and as his father, you gotta realize, I knew he was good, I knew he was terrific, but I had no idea he was that good.
And even when he first gave his first speech, I was shocked that he was that good.
And when you did it, then when they put you in a box, I said, holy shit.
They're gonna start him off with his first debate in a box.
They're all on the stage and he's in a box like it's the $64,000 question that's about to be executed.
And he was, I'll tell you what I liked, you were charming.
You made the box funny.
You kidded around about it.
You got the other candidates to laugh.
That's huge, right?
They never want to laugh.
And then it really was a great advantage when you came out of the box.
Because people were dying to see you as a boss.
And that's the debate you won the biggest.
Yes.
No, that one he won the biggest because he was on the stage.
Oh, there really isn't, right?
He does exist.
I'm trying to think of like... But we couldn't tell.
When they put you in the box, remember all your advisors, including your father, Is this going to help or hurt?
We weren't sure.
I thought it would help.
It was a bit of an adjustment.
It was an adjustment from, it always is an adjustment, right, from debate prep to actually do that.
But the thing that was tricky in the very beginning was actually some of the reaction time because I did notice, as I could see the camera there, that uh you're trying to engage other people but you're looking actually in a different place than you would what you would be looking so it's here so you have to look over there and it was getting like the first 10 minutes was getting first 10 minutes were a little at one point there was a delay and i smiled uh a lot of people didn't notice at least they didn't write about it but i noticed it
I smiled during an abortion question because there was a bit of a delay there.
And I noticed it as soon as I watched it back.
Thankfully, a lot of people at the time didn't notice it.
And then obviously, when you're watching it back, you're saying, well, you know, if I didn't know that and I saw it, I'd say, how dumb is he for smiling?
But what a lot of people wouldn't know is that there was a delay.
I was smiling in another comment.
And then, you know, five seconds later, it picks up.
And so that was one thing that was a bit of an adjustment to get used to.
But no, I thought it was a fantastic experience and I hope that... Look, you'll have a couple of these candidates that will come out with the same thing.
You'll have a couple of candidates that will come out and be absolutely skewered.
Yeah, you might get a surprise.
What you don't often get in an 11-person debate is a clear... It's hard to get a real clear winner.
You usually get one, two, three.
Yeah.
And there's a little debate usually.
You'll get like these polls that'll put somebody one, two, three.
You'll see that the winner is the one, the winner, I would judge the winner as the one most often in the top one, two, three.
You know what would be fun?
He may not even be the one who's always won.
It would be fun if Trump and Tucker, two thirds of their way through their interview, just like cut to the debate and started doing commentary on the debate during it.
That would be kind of, that'd be pretty interesting.
Wouldn't that be something?
Well, so anyway, before we sign off, we're well into soccer time.
Anyone here willing to... We talked about winners and losers in more of a vague sense.
Anybody here, open mic, willing to predict a winner outside of Trump of this debate?
Or maybe even a loser?
Anyone willing to say it?
Give us a name.
I think the two that are going to have to fight the hardest are going to be Vivek and I think DeSantis.
One, because DeSantis is the guy that I think a lot of them are gunning for because they're gunning to be the vice president and they know that that's one of the best ways to endear themselves to Trump.
And Vivek has this major question to answer.
And I think Christy.
Christy will engage with a lot of people.
And because of that, actually, Christy could get a lot of airtime for where he is.
And so that's going to be an opportunity for him to either win this debate, Or to really lose this debate.
I'd recommend all those candidates go back, and not that I ever recommend anybody to watch CNN, but watch the two minutes on CNN when Anderson Cooper asks him about Christopher Wray and his answer, and you will see, I think, one of the clearest attack lines on any Republican in recent memory.
I think Vivek has a good advantage, too, because he comes in with, like, a Trump entrepreneur kind of thing.
Like, I've never been a politician, so, you know, fresh ideas.
Like, that's how Trump won in 2016.
But the mindset, just so you know, right?
I mean, for him, his heart is good.
It's going to be a little different than it was for you, because you went through it for so many times.
You were a chief executive.
You'd gone through so much.
But in that first debate, which is, this is going to be Vivek's first debate, I can tell you the adrenaline is pumping so high.
Yeah, oh yeah.
And those first five minutes are so important to getting yourself settled in.
Vivek is now, because of these comments, he is going to be on the defensive in these first five minutes.
So it's going to be very important for him from a mental standpoint to be able to look almost like it's two different debates.
Okay, I'm going to have to play defense here in the very beginning, give a good answer, explain my position, and then can I get myself back in the mindset of where we were going to be a week ago in prep for this debate.
If he can do that mentally, then he can come out as the big winner.
But that's a lot tougher to do.
It's a lot easier to say than it is to actually do.
What he has to do is have a short, enormously powerful Connection between that he's gonna create enormously powerful connection United States and Israel.
Mm-hmm that he understands that Sure, we have allies but we have some allies that we can really count on and some that we can't and as Ronald Reagan said that group we can't is very small and As Ronald Reagan once said probably at the top of that is Israel.
I Understand that and that'll guide my actions Does that and then says well, what else you want me to say?
I just told you they're gonna be our number one ally and So when we think of America first, we think of Israel as part of that.
And he should invoke Ronald Reagan, who used to say, I know there are people who believe that we support Israel for partisan political purposes.
Ronald Reagan said, I don't have a big percentage of the Jewish vote, but I'm a big supporter than the people that do, because Israel is the best friend of the United States.
And if you're the best friend of the United States, I'm your best friend.
Well, in fact, if you're listening, you should be taking debate prep from Mayor Giuliani.
It has nothing to do with politics.
It has to do with being a patriotic American.
You should charge for this stuff, Mayor.
He has talked about some debate moments, right?
In 1980, he got the largest percentage of the Jewish vote any Republican has had in about 30 years.
Because of Carter, but also because of him, and he knew how to get it.
Oh, that makes sense.
And he did it without pandering.
He didn't do the pandering thing.
He did it based on, I evaluate our allies, not based on domestic politics, but based on foreign policy.
Who's our best friend?
Who can we count on?
I'm going to tell you, it comes down to two.
Israel and Great Britain.
That's it.
I like the rest.
Don't get angry.
I like you.
I'm not going to be on Israel's side.
That almost means I'm not on America's side.
Also, don't look at your watch during the debate.
That's a no-no.
Don't do that.
Yeah, don't do that.
Well, I guess we're gonna have to sign off.
We're having a good time.
We'll have another little discussion of the upcoming debates tomorrow.
I'm sure who knows what.
Ridiculously crazy things Biden does.
Let's hope he doesn't get anybody killed like sometimes he does.
And someday they're gonna take him out on the 25th Amendment because for a long time now, he doesn't know what the hell he's doing.
This is Rudy Giuliani.
I say a prayer for my country every night because of him.
And I also say to God, thank you.
God bless America.
And thank you, gentlemen.
And Dr. Maria!
Our purpose is 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.
It 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.
