America's Mayor Live (E217): Election 2024 Analysis
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
Good evening.
This is Rudy Giuliani and this is America's Mayor Live from New York.
I'm not going to say Saturday night.
They're a bunch of lily-livered cowards because they won't make fun of Biden.
I mean, Mike, well, actually you could have every night.
You could have Monday night live, Tuesday night live, Wednesday night live, except it isn't funny.
And Rudy, Stop it.
Several people have complained and they're correct and I apologize to them and I apologize to myself.
I, I do laugh at some of the things that he does, but they are deadly serious.
I mean, the guy, the guy gets people killed.
Well, the trip to Maui was best described, you know, I, I, um, I absolutely love headline writers, even though they've written some pretty bad headlines about me or some pretty good ones.
But I love headline writers because the, I don't know if you know how important headlines used to be to the Daily News and the Post and the Daily Mirror.
Those were the three tabloid papers in New York.
Why were they so important?
Because people bought newspapers, one major, maybe millions, right?
Going on the subway.
So they wouldn't have it delivered to the home like we do now.
Maybe the Times or the Herald Tribune or the Journal American, of which Brooklyn Eagle.
People would buy their newspaper getting on the train.
And the tabloid newspaper, I think, got developed because of the subway.
It's hard to read a New York Times or a Wall Street Journal on the subway.
Right?
Big, big.
Think about it.
The big paper like that, you gotta... I actually was taught by my sophomore year English teacher who insisted that we read the newspapers every day if we wanted to be literate.
And he showed us how you read it on how to read the New York Times and Wall Street Journal on the subway, how to fold it.
He went through a whole lesson.
We all had to bring one into school and he showed us how to do it.
But still, it's a little unwieldy because it's so big.
So the tabloid newspapers that open like this were very preferred by most subway riders.
Big, big competition.
Originally, the competition was between the Daily News and the Daily Mirror.
And they would sell their papers off the headline.
Because the guy would be walking by real fast, he'd look at two headlines, and he'd go with the headline that was the most interesting.
I mean, the Daily News headlines, that's the, you know, Ford to city, go to hell.
That's the one with Galante, Carmine Galante, dead.
A mafia hit with a cigar in his mouth.
Boom.
Which I will tell you, is not real.
It was put there by a cop.
By a cop or the newspaper man?
The photographer gave the cop a few bucks.
Put the thing in his thing.
I mean, he has great headlines.
One I liked the best was Rudy Wins.
Well, Rudy Landslide wasn't bad either.
A few others you don't want to know.
But the headlines were the big thing, and I love the headline writers because they got to get it, you know.
Hardest thing to do is to be concise, right?
You got to be concise in a newspaper article anyway, when we used to have like real journalists.
But the headline then itself is tough.
Now, look at this one.
I want you to go to my favorite machine.
Look at that headline in The Post.
I mean, The Post has the best headline writers now.
Not even a contest with the news.
The Post is like, A number one in the country for headline writers.
Prez Modica faces wrath of Maui survivors.
So, the president He graciously took a few hours from his endless vacation on the beach, where I think he has made... I am told he has actually successfully completed 32 sandcastles.
However, they are somewhat criticized.
They have the complexity of about a four-year-old.
So he's got to get back, you know, to work on his sandcastles.
So he spent a little time in The no comment, no comment place where he didn't remember the name when it was in Washington.
Uh, I don't know if I remember hearing him say Maui while he was there.
He might have, he might have trouble pronouncing it, but he couldn't remember the name in when he was in America.
And of course he went there with not, not a good pedigree.
He, he no commented the death of over a hundred people twice.
So let's look at the gravity of this.
It went on for 10 days, and this idiot sat on a beach for 10 days and didn't say a damn thing.
It's the largest fire in 100 years, I think in the United States, but certainly in Hawaii.
I mean, in terms of fatalities, it's over 100 and rising.
I mean, it's unthinkable that a president wouldn't comment on it, much less go there.
And then when he gets to comment on it, he says no comment.
And then when he's asked about it again, he doubles down on it and says, no comment.
And when he says he's going there, he said, I'm going to that Island that you see on television.
And he tells the story insensitively of how his wife almost died in a fire.
We went back and got the fire was described by the fire department.
In Delaware, who he appropriately credits with great courage and heroism, I'm not sure they would accept that because they describe the fire as insignificant.
Now I don't know how you almost die in an insignificant fire.
It's probably a stovetop fire, Mayor.
It was!
That's all.
Yeah, that's all it was.
Could be with an extinguisher, you're done.
That's what the report says.
Nothing comparable to... Can you imagine the insult to these people?
That's insane.
He's got a stupid little stovetop fire, and he's comparing it to 110 people dead.
He had a grease fire.
People are dying as he's talking.
This is the same thing that he did with the people who died in Afghanistan, that he got killed.
He goes ahead and he tells them that his son died in the line of duty.
They all know that's a big lie.
Now, everybody sympathizes with him, with his son dying.
Although I think really, we've sympathized with him so much, we've kind of run out of it.
But we certainly would still sympathize with what happened to Beau.
My goodness, the poor man died of cancer.
But when you go tell people that just lost someone, really because of your incompetence, that your son died on the battlefield, I don't know what you call that.
What do you call that?
Stolen valor.
A sin?
Stolen valor.
Sacrilege?
You call it a sacrilege, maybe?
I don't know.
You call it somebody who has no feeling for people.
It's probably, I think you'd say a pathological narcissist.
And before he went, somebody warned, and this was on one of the communist stations that I was listening to, they were commenting on, should he go or shouldn't he go at this point?
You know, does it look like he's just responding to pressure?
And they said, well, he should go, but he really can't go and just talk about himself.
Well, of course, that's exactly what he did.
He went, he talked about himself, he lied.
He couldn't remember the name of the... I guess it was the governor or the senator who was a football player.
Couldn't remember what team he played for.
You'd think somebody would write it down for him, but maybe he can't read it.
And he once again went ahead with the insulting, lying story.
Do we have that, Ted?
Is it ready or should I?
Let's just play it because, I don't know, watch him too.
You tell me if you don't think he's getting much worse.
Jill and I, what it's like to lose a home.
Years ago, now 15 years ago, I was in Washington doing Meet the Press.
It was a sunny Sunday, and lightning struck at home on a little lake that's outside of our home, not a lake, a big pond, and hit a wire and came up underneath our home into the heating ducts, the air conditioning duct.
To make a long story short, I almost lost my wife, my 67 Corvette, and my cat.
All kidding aside, I watched the firefighters.
How do you lie about almost losing your wife?
How do you do that?
I mean, do you realize that this man is... I mean, we talk about liars, right?
I don't know.
I guess in some form or another, most people lie and they can be anywhere from somewhat acceptable social lies or even polite lies like, you know, do I look fat?
No.
Do I look ugly?
No.
To vicious, malicious, criminal lies.
There's something about this.
I'm having a hard time describing it because it takes my breath away in a certain way.
That he says these things.
Now, it is true.
He did a lot of this before he got demented.
But I think this is even more.
He had to have been told on the way there that that story is being contradicted by contemporary newspaper articles.
And he either went ahead and did it like, I don't give a damn, or he couldn't remember.
It's like the one about his son, which he keeps telling, just did the other day, that his son died in the line of duty.
My goodness, his son died and everybody would sympathize with him for it.
But they get pretty annoyed when you lie to them.
And then they get really annoyed when you try to equate your loss with theirs.
I also think bringing the cat, or not the cat, but yeah, the cat and the car in.
We got a real wacko here, don't we?
And we got a president who's wacko.
What do you do about a president who's wacko?
Impeach him.
You remove him.
Well, you can impeach him, sure.
Although I don't think being crazy is an impeachable offense.
You remove him under the 25th Amendment.
We put an amendment in just for this purpose.
And then do we have the one where he said about Mayor Richard Bisson?
Uh, that he looked like he played defensive tackle for I don't know who, but somebody good.
What?
And then he made a joke.
You want to grab that water for a sip?
You want to grab that water for a sip?
Thank you.
And started laughing.
Well, according to state legislator, Cornelia Ng, she says, I campaigned for you.
Now, when I lose dozens of my friends, family, and friends, this?
Dean Fuchs, the president, kind of late, don't you think?
When he was asked about the disaster in Maui, he said no comment.
That was disrespectful to the people of Maui who have lost so much.
We're here to send the president a message.
That we're displeased with the federal response that fire was a small kitchen blaze in 2004, which the fire department says, quote, could be considered an insignificant fire because it was put out immediately.
According to the AP report, the small fire that was contained to the kitchen was put out almost immediately.
Well, I don't know.
Maybe it almost killed Joe.
The small fire that was put out immediately.
And the cat.
And it almost destroyed the car.
Or, the president is lying.
Or, the president is demented.
Pick.
Maybe Corn Pop lit that fire, Mayor.
In revenge.
In revenge.
Yeah.
Because Joe beat him up behind the barn.
So Corn Pop came in the house and lit that fire.
Come on.
Come on.
So, let's not worry.
Can't cause too much damage.
Take a look at that.
He's there now.
See?
Lake Tahoe.
We got Lake Tahoe up there, Ted.
He's off there at Lake Tahoe.
I don't know if they have a beach there.
They do.
They have a lake and a beach.
Maybe he can make sandcastles there.
I would not recommend that he bet.
He better not do it with our money.
Because I'm not trusting him at a craps table, are you?
Imagine what the craps players would do, because you know they hate it when an amateur messes up there.
I could remember a few times sitting at one of those tables and I would try to play, you know, I'd take a card and you're looking like you screwed everything up.
I don't even know how I can screw it up for anybody else, but I got tired of playing because I'm just not good and some of my friends were like fabulous.
They would get annoyed because I'd mess them up.
You know who was a great crafts player?
I used to go there and watch him, John McCain.
Oh, wow.
John was good.
I mean, by good, I mean... He lost, ultimately, but he reduced the odds.
If you're skilled, and I'm not even talking about card counting, I'm talking about...
Knowing the odds really, really well and then playing them.
And also, if not card counting, having a good recollection of the cards that are out and therefore the odds that a certain card will show up.
If you've got that kind of ability to concentrate, you can be good at the game.
And he was, he was, John was really, really good at playing it and he enjoyed it.
And he wasn't, he wasn't like, What would you call it?
I guess they call it a degenerate gambler who spends money he doesn't have.
He pretty much...
Well, Mayor, if you told Joe Biden we're going to the craps table, he would probably pull his pants down and take a crap on the table because that's how demented he is.
I mean, let's be real.
He crapped his pants in front of the Pope.
I mean, what's stopping him at the craps table, right?
We do warn you that we are a very realistic show.
We tell the truth.
Is that confirmed that he pooped in front of the Pope?
Or is that a, is that confirmed that, that he pooped in front of the Pope?
Is that really true?
They said he had an emergency and he had to leave.
Well, that one I've never gone with as a... I mean, it's not in my RICO case.
I guess for Fannie Willis, that would be a RICO act.
Maybe Joe Biden's having too much balance of nature.
Maybe he's too regular, Mayor.
Well, you wouldn't get it from the... You wouldn't get it from... Let me have those.
You wouldn't get it from the...
No.
Probably the fiber and spice.
veggies. No. Or from the, now give me the other. Probably the fiber and spice. The fiber,
but you know, you'd have to take the whole damn thing. I mean, you have to, you have
to take this, you gotta know, you know, this is hard to have a conversation about. You
have to know if you, how, like I, I, I kind of like need to use, nevermind.
It's good.
Promo code Rudy.
Promo code Rudy.
$35 off.
And in my case, you know, I need to take two helpings.
You probably should take only one.
And it will make you regular.
And being regular is actually very, very good for you.
Very, very good.
I mean, it cleans you out.
And this is the real key.
You don't get enough fruits and vegetables.
You don't.
You don't want to end up like Biden.
If you have your fruits, you have your vegetables.
Exercise your mind.
Don't become an automaton where you have people tell you what to do.
Like him, all his life.
Think independently.
You could do something he doesn't do.
You could read.
Read.
For yourself.
Don't just depend on what I tell you.
If I show you, see all these articles?
I get up at 5.30 in the morning, I read them all.
I mean, I read many more than these.
These are the ones that I keep.
I've been doing it since I was a kid.
My mother taught me to do it.
My father, my mother and father used to pass the paper back and forth.
We would get like... My grandmother, who never went to school in America, she went to school in Italy, and she taught herself English, and she'd read the American papers.
And she had lost her Italian accent.
Both grandmothers lost their Italian accent, even though they were born in Italy.
But they came from the generation of... They didn't teach their kids Italian.
You weren't English.
You're American now.
My grandfather used to get really upset with his, what they used to call in those days, goombas, you know, because they were always used to talking about, oh, it was so much nicer back in Italy.
He would say, yeah, go back.
Yeah, you liked it so much?
I'll get you a ticket.
Go back.
Had no problem at all when his sons went off to fight against Italy.
His hatred for Mussolini, I just grew up in a very patriotic family, which was wonderful.
I just appreciate it so much.
Now, I want you to look at this picture.
I want you to look at this picture.
Okay, I hope we have it the right way.
It could be backwards.
That is the Trump wall, and yesterday they had a big ceremony.
They opened the walls to the border.
Mayorkas says it's closed.
Hey, Mayorkas, take a look.
The doors are open.
Are you dopey or a liar?
Or a liar.
Oh, yeah.
Now look at this.
This raises some very interesting issues.
Like, first of all, it's about as good an indication of what we know anyway, that the border is open as hell.
Not only that, we are now trying to stop Abbott from stopping people from coming in.
And I have been told on very, very good authority from Border Patrol people directly that they are required to help people come in.
Now, I'm not going to tell you they all do it.
I'm not going to tell you who doesn't.
But they think, in a way, one of them described it to me like being a Nazi prison guard.
Now, it isn't the same thing because they're not being told to kill people, but he means it in this sense.
Do I follow an order to help people come in when it's illegal for them to come in?
Now it is illegal under the new regulations because if they want asylum, they are supposed to apply in advance.
So you can presume they're illegal.
And of course, only about 3% of those asylum applications ever turned out to be valid anyway.
So these, this little group who I haven't talked to directly, but I've talked to some of the people around them, have a moral dilemma, which is do we enforce an illegal order or not?
It's easier said than done, not.
I mean, you got family, you get fired.
They don't put it that way.
They make other charges against you that sound a lot more serious.
I mean, we don't, we, we, when it, when a law enforcement agency turns crooked and I don't say that they have, I don't think they have actually.
But it's beginning.
I mean, the FBI, the FBI thing is starting to... But look, I mean, look at those walls.
Wide open.
They just opened the doors.
Now, isn't that interesting?
If the Trump wall was so useless and ineffective, what do you have to open the doors for?
Just leave it there.
I mean, they'd go right over it, didn't do anything.
They open the doors because it does keep people out.
And I don't know if you could get a better visual that we no longer have a border, which you could argue we no longer have a country, particularly America, which is built on shared values.
We have no idea who's coming into the United States.
We don't vet them.
I'm not sure how many of them we even get to see.
And when we do see them, it's nothing but a cursory little review.
Now you think, well, it's a random group of people.
Like hell it is.
I interviewed a guy who spent his life enforcing the law along the border who is really quite a hero today on my radio show.
And I mean, I just really had him say what I know from hundreds and hundreds of people.
I don't have my own knowledge.
And that is, if you go on the, on the other side of the border, if we were able to take a good trip along the other side, let's say a helicopter trip along the Mexican side of the border, you would see large numbers of people gathered at various points.
Sometimes in structures that are built, sometimes in structures that are tents, and sometimes just out in the open.
They are the toll booth operators.
You do go through a toll booth to come into the United States.
You go through a toll booth that is erected by the Mexican cartels.
They select who comes into this country.
Now, we're not talking about 10 people.
Since Biden's been in office, their minimum that have come in that we have seen and touched in some way is about 4 million.
Estimate is that at least double that number came in and nobody touched them except the Mexican cartel on the other side.
So let's say we're dealing with 7 million people.
The only people know who they really are is the Mexican cartel.
So I'm not going to condemn all of them as criminals.
They're probably not.
But don't you think they disproportionately are?
The Mexican car tells us how they make their living.
They don't make their living by letting, you know, a nice little family come in that want a little home in the suburbs and work.
They make their living by letting people come in who are bringing fentanyl in to slaughter Americans.
To benefit, among others, China.
For which they make billions.
They make their money from child trafficking.
So they accommodate the child trafficking networks in bringing people across the border.
Not only that, they themselves engage in child trafficking.
And if you come across the border, and let's say you are a family seeking a better way of life and you have a wife and you got a kid and you got two daughters and Price may be one of your daughters.
You don't have any money.
They're going to try to hold you up for money.
But they see a young girl.
When I say young, I mean like four or five, six years old, it could be.
They snatch her.
You think I'm making this up?
Please don't.
I know, I know the left wing in Hollywood did a number.
On that movie.
But that was just one small, tiny part of what's been going on for years.
I did a thing on child trafficking and human trafficking, gosh, it was over two years ago, and it was at record levels under Biden then.
And the reason it's at record levels under Biden as fentanyl is because of what I just showed you.
The border is wide open.
Also, it's used by ISIS.
We have apprehended in the last year more suspected terrorists than I think in the last 8 or 10 years combined.
Something like that.
So now, again, you've got to do a little thinking, which, of course, Biden can't do, and the Democrats try to get you not to do, because if you think, you're going to throw them out of office.
If we're apprehending more of them, it also means more of them are coming in that aren't apprehended, because you really do have to, to be safe, calculate about at least one for one.
For every one week.
Stop.
One gets through.
And as the numbers get larger, meaning as the 200,000 that used to come in becomes the 1 million that's now coming in, it strains our resources to such an extent that every expert will tell you whatever formulas we had in the past, and it was one-for-one basically, gets exaggerated.
In other words, one-for-one becomes two-for-one or three-for-one.
Because we just don't have the people to go look.
We don't look.
We don't care.
So, I want you to put yourself in the place of a terrorist, or a child trafficker, or a drug dealer.
And you have all these people coming over not being detected.
You'd be a fool not to take advantage of it, wouldn't you?
This is like a gift.
You can come into my country because I'm so damn stupid that I'm for open borders because I don't realize we live in an evil world.
I'm giving you the best interpretation possible.
But then you're really not adult enough to govern, which is why you shouldn't elect progressive Democrats.
The best thing you can say about them is they're not adult enough to govern.
They're disorganized.
you should all come to New York and you'll get education.
They don't want education, jerk.
Healthcare?
Maybe.
Money?
Yeah.
Jobs?
We're not coming for jobs.
We're coming to sell drugs, jackass.
But okay, jobs.
When he was saying that, he made New York the Uber sanctuary city.
Over and above Chicago, over and above Philadelphia, over and above Boston.
So he's got numbers that dwarf them.
And he blaming it on Abbott.
I'm going to show you another picture.
Here's a guy who made it one of the first guys through the open door.
Notice the t-shirt?
What does it say?
Can you read it, Ted?
Okay, see it on the screen?
It says New York.
He's wearing a New York t-shirt, he knows where he's going.
This is thanks to the advertising of Mayor Adams.
Best place to come is New York.
Get more benefits, do better.
Now, you know, he's blaming it on everybody else.
He does have a right to blame it on Biden.
I mean, it wouldn't happen at all.
I mean, if this door were closed and there was an agent there with a gun, this wouldn't happen, right?
But once it happens, he hardly can complain too much because he's asking for the guy to come to New York.
And then he wants, now he wants other people to take them off his hands.
So he goes around New York has, uh, New York city is a little, it's a different kind of jurisdictional work is organized into counties.
And the chief executive officer is a county executive.
The mayor is in essence, the county executive of five counties.
Uh, but in most cases it's one county.
So many of them are Republicans.
Most of the counties are Republican, even though, you know, the gross numbers turn out to be very Republican.
The rural counties that are small tend to be Republican.
And they have basically told them to go to hell.
Right?
You wanted them.
We know who they are.
We're just not taking a disproportionate number of criminals into our community.
But the very nice guy in Buffalo, Erie County, is a Democrat.
And he decided to take some of these people that want to come to New York.
The bus gets there.
I'm not even sure the bus got a chance to stop.
They had already raped two young girls.
Well, Buffalo went nuts.
The county executive went nuts.
He put him back on the bus and he told Adams what to do with him.
This is predictable to a man of common sense, which will tell you what Adams is.
He's a man without common sense.
And so is Biden.
And as long as they keep it up, as long as they keep it up, this idea that they had lowered the numbers coming in, last month was a record.
It's gone up.
We're probably going to break our record for people dying of fentanyl directly attributable to this.
If you voted for Biden, would you please do me a favor?
I'm not doing this to make you feel bad or tell you I'm any smarter than you are.
I just had information that I tried my damnedest to get out, and they tried their damnedest and they're still doing it to put me in jail.
The U.S.
attorneys have investigated me for three years and came to the conclusion that I did community crimes, but that didn't stop them.
You probably don't even know that because the New York Times wrote a story about this big, about that part.
This big.
I think they used their light print for no in front of crime.
So, Mayor, since 2023, as of June 30th, 70,600 people died of fentanyl overdose.
As of when?
As of June 30th, 2021.
So that's half of the year.
Right.
So we're going to go to 140.
Well, that's actually since 2021.
Since 2021.
So we had 100,000 last year.
We had 100,000 overdoses.
About 70,000 of fentanyl.
These are deaths.
Yeah, actual deaths.
70,000 were attributed to fentanyl last year.
70,000 were attributed to fentanyl last year.
Right.
Right. So we'll see. Look, what's the difference in 60,000 or 80,000?
It should be zero.
It should be zero.
Yeah, I mean, come on.
And it's a, it's a really, oh, any death is awful, but it's kind of a great deal of inequity to it in the sense that when we thought of drug overdoses, more often than not, we thought of people who were like Hunter Biden, like degenerate drug users.
who take massive amounts of drugs.
He is.
I mean, let's face it.
He is not a normal drug user, if there is a normal drug user.
This guy is not like a social drug user.
The guy sits in a closet all day, fills it up with crack smoke, walks around a house with little children in it and smokes it.
He's absolutely out of control.
Drives automobiles, smoking it.
He's a degenerate, massive drug addict.
Those are the people that you usually thought of as the people who had overdoses.
Now some kid can buy marijuana, and it's happened.
I don't say all the time, but it's happened.
And they lace it with just a teeny bit too much fentanyl, and the kid is dead.
There's more than a few cases like that.
There's actually one marijuana dealer who lost like half of her customers over a weekend because she got a bad dose.
I think that was in St.
Louis.
So with all this stuff about, oh, marijuana's great, use marijuana, we're gonna have, we're gonna make a fortune from marijuana.
What a terrible, terrible thing that's become.
And is there anybody ready to rethink it?
Anybody adult enough, kind enough, humble enough to say, gee, that was a terrible mistake.
I'm seeing these people dropping like flies now.
Maybe the fact that we enabled it.
Maybe the fact that we are enabling it.
Maybe the fact that in New York we got places where you can go and get free needles.
Places where you can go and get free pipes.
Places where you can go if you have an overdose and they'll take care of you.
Maybe that, maybe, maybe.
Maybe that, if after all that we did, you shouldn't want people to die.
But giving them the implements to take drugs, that's called enabling.
Any drug rehabilitation psychiatrist, psychologist would tell you, there's only one way to stop drug addiction.
And that's, you gotta put limits, you gotta say no.
Now societally we say yes and we have a massive societal problem.
So let's take a short break and right back and then we'll figure out which one we're doing and they'll tell me and we'll talk about it a little.
The year is 2022.
Cancel culture is the new normal.

Do you see that picture?
Thank you.
What a cunning disguise.
Oh, he's smooth, that guy.
He's smooth.
What a smooth criminal.
You know, the one thing that was missing for his RICO case, big, big 30-year RICO enterprise case, like a real one, not like the stupid idiot that Fannie, whatever her name is, Fannie Fannie, did in Georgia for election, election irregularities into RICO.
Uh, he never had an AK.
We never had AKs for him.
I never did a RICO case against organized criminals that didn't have AKs.
Now, we got a bunch of them.
And look at that disguise.
I mean, you could never tell that was him, right?
Right?
Look at that.
Looks a little like Detective Clouseau, except he's dumber.
Remember what an idiot Clouseau was?
He's even dumber.
There he is.
Hey, let's get the names here.
Show it together.
There, there's your president.
Well, that may not be your president.
It could be Robert L. Peters.
That could be Robert L. Peters.
Or it could be, let's see, who else do we have here?
We have Robin Ware and J.R.B.
Ware.
And the best one of all, the one that I put first because I'm used to doing mafia indictments, the big guy.
The one that got half the money.
They said 10% there, but Hunter corrected it.
The big guy gets 50% of everything I earn, but the press doesn't care.
They don't care if America's crooked and corrupt.
No, nor does David Weiss for that matter.
Most amazing thing in all of this that's come out, David Weiss wasn't going to indict him for anything.
His substitute was anything, was a little bit more than anything, which was nothing.
He was going to do this plea agreement.
He's going to take a really major gun count.
I mean, the tax counts are not nearly as serious as the gun count.
I want you to think about the gun count for a minute.
We have a law, and it's a serious one, it's a 10-year felony.
Because we don't want drug addicts carrying around guns.
We don't want mentally ill people carrying around guns.
We don't want criminals carrying around guns.
And that is a staple of gun control, which will save America.
Every time there's a murder of any kind, you get them coming out of walls, right?
You got Schumer, you got Biden, and you got this one.
You got Pelosi, comes in and scares the kids and gets on television.
You got Hillary.
Gun control!
We need more gun control!
Don't do anything about the shooters or the killers.
Let them out on the street.
The guns, the guns, it's the guns.
Shouldn't be in the hands of criminals or mentally defective people or drug addicts.
Don't liberals know that the guns that the criminals have are illegal?
They're not legal guns?
Do they know this?
They're being smuggled in through Mexico and other channels.
Haven't you learned that liberals don't know anything?
They don't know anything, Mayor.
It's very crazy.
That could be a quote for you that you could use very effectively.
Liberals don't know anything.
100% of gun crimes in New York City.
They shouldn't be allowed to be responsible for other people.
It's a sin.
But the reality is, Now, we have a law that makes it a crime for a drug addict to carry a gun.
Now, they let him off that one because they wanted to show leniency because he was a drug addict.
But think of how illogical that is and think of how perverse that is.
Think of how crooked the law exists for a drug addict.
And they're gonna take him off the hook because he is a drug addict.
Now, I can see A rationale for that, if he was like a modest, small, tiny little drug addict, poor little drug addict.
This guy could be one of the biggest drug addicts in the country.
Not only that, he's an irresponsible drug addict.
He drives automobiles.
He smokes it around kids.
Psychiatrist wanted him removed from the house.
But grandpa didn't care, because grandpa doesn't care about his grandchildren.
We know that.
If it could hurt his political career.
And they're going to give him a deferred prosecution, which is what you do with a juvenile.
And then they were going to let him walk on the most minor tax counts they could come up with, which the objection to it was they shouldn't have been crimes.
Well, that's right.
They shouldn't have been because they were so minor.
But there were really big ones that could have been.
And the story that we had was that Weiss at least wanted to go with this and went to the prosecutors to do that.
And it turns out that Weiss wasn't going to do anything if the whistleblowers hadn't put pressure on him.
And now we find out that Weiss, who every time you heard about Weiss, wasn't there like a Democratic required introduction, right?
It's like when they used to say, when I first brought out That Biden was involved in a big bribe in Ukraine.
They had one answer to it.
It was debunked. It was debunked. It was debunked. It was debunked.
It was debunked.
So I asked, actually, at one point, I asked one of them to give me the debunking report.
It was not debunked.
As we now know, it was never investigated.
And the guy investigating it got fired!
And all that horseshit about him being corrupt.
You get it?
You got a tape between Biden and Poroshenko, where Poroshenko makes it clear they had to make it all up.
You know, you know, Karl Rove, and I didn't get a chance to correct it on Newsmax, Karl Rove today said one of the really convincing things.
These guys in Washington, they just, I mean, I don't know if they read, Karl Rove said today, well, you know, Shulkin did have a background where all the European countries wanted him removed because he wasn't moving on Burisma.
Now that is complete horseshit made up by Soros.
It's documented, Karl.
You hate Trump so much you don't bother to read.
That phony board of yours.
Why don't you put it on the board?
Maybe you'll realize it.
It was not a single allegation of corruption against Shulkin at the time that he was fired.
Poroshenko tells that to Biden and they got to make it up.
And they use Soros's NGOs in different countries to do it.
They become the people who put out the allegations of corruption.
And why would Italy or Albania or Cairo, if there was a crooked prosecutor
Thank you for your time.
They've got their own crooked prosecutors.
Are you kidding me?
Are you that big a jackass that you buy that?
That the European countries complained about it illegally?
First of all, they'd have to complain about every prosecutor in Europe.
Half of them are taking fortunes.
Did you ever take a look at how Shokin lives?
Little house, small car.
If he is corrupt, it ain't big time, babes.
But you just shoot your big fat mouth off without knowing.
And you're a Republican.
Also, he wasn't investigating Burisma.
Why don't you check that out?
On February 2nd, he executed a massive warrant on Burisma and closed them down!
He wasn't investigating them, he was crushing them!
Wow!
It's like the Lincoln Project.
Boy, they're another group that lies and lies, or they're lazy and they buy all the Democrat crap.
I just was so disgusted with Karl Rove today, with buying that shoken, All the European organizations were disappointed with how slowly he was going on Burisma, and they wanted him removed.
They wouldn't give a damn.
They wouldn't care one bit about Burisma, whether he was going slow or fast.
That was all contrived.
Okay, maybe you didn't know that three years ago, but now it's a matter of record.
It's even in recordings you can go listen to.
If you don't go with the deep state rich men north of Virginia spin, Carl, so you can go to the cocktail parties with all those phonies who sell out our country.
Well, we'll take a short break and we'll give you something 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.
Heroes like United States Marine Corps Captain and Pilot John Jeremy Sachs.
Captain Sachs sustained fatal injuries when his military aircraft crashed during training, killing him and five other service members.
He's remembered by loved ones as courageous, brilliant, and devoted to his career, family, and friends.
John is survived by his wife, Amber, who gave birth to their second daughter three months after his death.
Tunnel to Towers paid the mortgage on the family home for Amber and their two daughters.
The foundation has helped over 1,000 military and first responder families navigate the worst of times by removing the burden of a mortgage payment.

Oh Oh
Oh Oh
Oh!
Sorry!
I forgot... Mother's here!
Hey, Doctor?
Take your balance of nature!
I fell asleep?
That's because you need fruits and vegetables.
I don't even know.
I think I was snoring.
I was even snoring.
It was so bad.
Oh, you already did it.
So 35% off.
I was even snoring it was so bad.
Excuse me.
A little bit.
Yes.
Oh, you are you already did it.
So 35% off go to balance of nature.
100% off!
That's right.
And you will not fall asleep in the middle of a show!
Yeah, that's right.
Great.
My pillow, slippers, blanket, whatever, they have everything.
Okay.
All of it, so.
Now, tomorrow night, tomorrow night.
We're going to have an interesting show.
Yeah.
We want you to listen in.
Ted and I are watching the debate.
We're going to have a little panel discussion.
We're going to split up into two groups.
Watch the panel discussion, watch the debate, and then we're going to bring them all together and we're going to discuss it afterwards with you.
Andrew's watching President Trump with Tucker.
And I'm going to watch the debate with Theodore.
And I think Mike is going to watch.
Mike, what are you watching?
Mike's kind of bossy now.
No, I watch.
It doesn't matter.
It doesn't matter.
I watch.
I can still watch whatever you want me to watch, Mayor.
Are you an egg and hammer like Rocky?
Yeah, you're going to watch.
You're going to watch.
Well, then we'll have you.
We'll have you watch with Andrew and I'll go back and forth at the monitor.
At the whole monitor.
Make sure everybody's paying attention.
Did we find out if it's one hour or two?
It must be two, right?
The debate is two.
Yeah, Andrew said they did a two hour block.
So it's probably because there's... I'll make sure nobody falls asleep.
I'll be giving out eight cabinets.
I'll be giving out balance of nature to make sure nobody falls asleep.
Yeah, there's eight qualified candidates for the debate, so it's going to be a very, very long debate.
I don't know if there are really eight qualified.
Do you know Larry Elder is thinking about suing because of the criteria?
He can't make the criteria and he thinks he should still debate.
And I think they all should debate.
You know what I even think?
Crazy Dr. Maria here.
I want RFK on that stage.
Well, I think that'd be great.
That'd be pretty funny.
No, no, a lot of people agree with that.
You probably have to let Williamson on too.
He's a real bore.
The last time she ran, I saw her on a couple of conservative shows and she commented the nicest people in the media were the conservatives and that the Democrats wouldn't even have them on her show.
That was the last time she ran.
I literally have not even seen her on anything.
Isn't she a little spacey though?
Hey guys, she's being nice.
Isn't Williams in a little space?
Don't I have the right person?
Yeah.
Okay.
So here's the first question I have for my experts is this.
So they're up there.
Trump is off talking to Carlson.
So they have- Pre-recorded.
So the real leader here is Trump.
They got to be Trump, right?
Right.
But the leader on the stage- Is still DeSantis.
Is DeSantis.
So the general wisdom is they're going to go after DeSantis.
But what use is that if you beat the Sanders?
What, are you fighting for second?
Shouldn't they be going after Trump?
A lot of people are saying this is the vice president debate tomorrow.
Well, I think that's true for some.
I mean, that's not true for Chris.
No, no, no.
Or I don't think for Haley.
I mean, I think she's been too critical.
Well, DeSantis and Trump can't be on the same ticket.
One has to move out of the state.
Well, they could do that.
They could accomplish that.
Right.
They could figure it out at some point.
I don't know if things are too broken between the two of them.
I don't think DeSantis and Trump are going to be a good ticket.
You know who I'm surprised about is Nikki Haley.
Nikki Haley was the first one to announce.
She's literally been in New Hampshire since the beginning, and she cannot move Four or five percent?
Yep, still four percent and the ones that are making the biggest dent, now let me clarify that, DeSantis came in at a certain level in a state at a certain level and basically the number two spot.
Yeah, he went down a little bit but the ones that keep moving in New Hampshire anyway is Chris Christie In Vivek Ramaswamy.
And they're very different, aren't they?
Very, very different.
One is very aggressive and kind of nasty, and the other guy is very cerebral.
I think people relate better to Vivek.
In New Hampshire, I would think.
Anywhere.
But New Hampshire is surprising me with Chris Christie, actually.
No, but you have to have a few wild and crazy people.
Yeah.
Vivek goes off of factual knowledge.
That's why people relate to him.
I have to ask him about this Israel thing because Newsmax was reporting today that he said all aid to Israel was going to end in 2020.
He said, I read the quote last night, he said he would respect Obama's, whatever Obama did with Israel until 2028, and then he'll reassess after.
So he didn't necessarily say he's going to- Okay, so it's taken out of context.
You know what might be worse than that?
What's that?
How absolutely amateurish and stupid it is for a Republican candidate in a Republican debate to say he's going to respect something Obama did.
Now that will tell you- That's true.
The guy looked like he was infallible.
Oh, I know.
But he's not.
He's a rookie.
I'm like, I almost had my ballot up with the check mark.
He's a rookie.
He's not ready.
Vivek, my question about- Like cake.
My question when we first met him was very smart, very interesting, gonna raise a lot of issues.
But I predicted to you, Ted, he would make a rookie mistake.
I didn't realize it'd be this big.
This is a big mistake.
I'm going to tell you why it's a big one.
Here's what you try to do in your first race.
You don't understand foreign policy.
You try and make a good name for yourself.
Come up with a good number and don't leave any residue.
He left a boom.
He left a lot of residue, particularly with a party that is closely aligned with Israel.
And you don't think about just a Jewish vote.
You got to remember our, our, uh, our Christian, a lot of the Christian vote is as dedicated.
I, when I would go to Christian meeting, the Christian Jews, the Christians were more pro-Israel.
And in the past it was both Democrat and Republican who understood the importance of Israel.
The only, It also tells me he was never in the federal government, because he has no idea what Israel does for us.
I have every idea what Israel does for us.
Well, I was never with the federal government, and I think I understand it.
This is a terrible mistake.
Unless he clarifies it, ain't no way I'd ever vote for him for anything.
It will be asked.
Martha McAllen is going to ask this.
The rookie's got to explain it.
It seems to be in New York City that the Hasidic Jews are more aligned with Republicans when it comes to Israel, and the regular, like, you know, the traditional Jewish people, they don't really care.
That's why most of them are Democrat.
It isn't about the Jewish people.
No, no, I'm just saying that in here, he'll lose Hasidic votes, and that's not good.
He's going to lose Republicans.
I would say if you were to ask Republicans how they feel about Israel, Probably somewhere around 70% of very strong supporters of Israel.
Not Jewish!
Republicans!
They have been since Reagan.
Reagan's support of Israel was, I don't care about the Jews.
This is not about the Jewish vote.
It's about the fact they're our best friend.
Amen.
And then if you've had experience in the government, you know what they do for us.
I predict that America's Mayor Live is going to do a live show in Israel within the next six months.
I predict that.
Yeah.
I think that the Republican Party has become...
The party that is aligned with Israel and the Democratic Party is too afraid to stand
up to the squad.
Schumer's Jewish, which is crazy.
It's crazy.
It's crazy.
Yeah.
So who do they go after?
Obviously Chris Christie, but I think like you take a person like Vivek,
he's America first policies.
He really respects president Trump.
He's not going to really say anything bad about president Trump.
DeSantis, I think is going to play it cool with, um, a little bit of
criticism, but not heavy.
It same with Mike Pence.
Yeah, I think Chris Christie's going to be, it's about going after Trump, you know, to show everybody he's a brave Republican.
But Pence can't criticize him too much.
He was part of the administration.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Only January 6th.
Yeah, and he says he's proud of what they did, and they should be.
The policies were solid.
I know I cannot stand going grocery shopping anymore because you get so few items for the price you pay.
It's awful.
My children are all grown, so I don't have to worry about it, but I can't even imagine people with young children how they're doing it.
I can't.
Nobody mentioned Senator Scott.
You know what's so funny?
I said last night to Ted, Cause he's vanilla, right?
There's nothing.
Everybody says the same thing.
Nice guy, right?
You'd want him as your best friend.
Um, but he's like vanilla.
Like there's nothing.
He's playing like the nice guy part.
Like he doesn't want, he seems like he's sincere and nice guy.
I know he's nice.
That's legit.
Yeah.
I'm like, Rebecca's a really nice guy.
I know, and Andrew knows him really well.
That's legit.
I'm like, Revek is a really nice guy.
I think he probably hears about the toxicity, not only, you know, he's a senator in Washington,
but about everywhere.
You have people who say they can't get along with their family now.
We never had that growing up.
Even if you had a different party, you know, somebody who was in a different party in your family, you still had Thanksgiving together.
You still loved each other.
Now people are saying they can't even be in the same room.
My family used to have unbelievable fights about politics every holiday.
Unbelievable.
And then they'd all kiss.
Yeah, you still respected their opinion.
Oh, I lost friends.
Yeah, I hear that.
Over and over again.
It was kind of enjoyable.
over again. It was kind of you have a oh I don't want to say anything too personal but in the
they find out that that they I work with you or you know say I was a magnet you know for other people because they
don't come up and say hello Hello.
Dave's from knowing the message.
Oh, you're just saying it.
You probably have gotten dates from knowing.
You're just saying that.
You can't.
Yeah, but are they Republic?
Are they Republic?
Say, oh, they wouldn't go out with Jed if they weren't.
That's what I'm saying.
I don't think it happens anymore.
I believe you guys are right.
Mayor, if I'm on a date with a girl who's super liberal and I tell her that I work part-time for you, or the date is, oh, because I don't care.
I don't lie.
But it's too bad the girl can't open her mind and get to know you.
I have nothing to hide.
I don't care.
I don't care.
I don't know what's happening.
But that shouldn't end a date.
It's too bad.
It's too bad.
It used to be enjoyable to meet with your Democrat friends, of which I had a large number.
And debate!
Or how about don't even talk politics with certain people.
And if you have a friend that you go mountain climbing with, still go mountain climbing.
Just don't talk politics.
We'd get together and we'd almost like prepare.
I'd build up stuff and he'd build up stuff and I'd say, what about this?
And he would say, what about that?
And so-and-so said this and so-and-so said that.
And we'd have a nice steak.
We'd have a drink and we'd go home.
And we enjoyed it.
We enjoyed it.
And I thought it was good for us too.
It opened our minds a little.
Maybe he became a little bit less rigid and maybe I became a little bit less rigid.
And that sure helped me when I had to govern a democratic city that I was like that.
If I was like the people now, I don't know if I could have done the things for New York City that I did.
I think on your social media, your social media person put out a great picture of all these people behind you in signs that said Democrats for Rudy.
Yeah, yeah.
People talk about it.
It was legendary how you worked with both parties.
I knew I couldn't get elected without them.
I knew I couldn't get bills passed without them.
And I thought it was a good thing.
But you know who I learned that from?
Who?
Believe it or not, Ronald Reagan, who also was a Democrat before.
Ronald Reagan used to say, and boy, if he could come back up from his grave and say it and just teach all these kids this.
Compromise is the art of politics.
Well, I was gonna say Bill Clinton did the same.
Yes, he did.
He came in the middle.
That's one thing he did do.
He was very liked by both parties.
Never, ever mention Bill Clinton in the same sentence with Ronald Reagan.
No, no, no.
I will have to.
I'm sorry, Mayor.
I apologize.
Well, it's 9.05, Mayor, and my pumpkin awaits, my chariot awaits, and I gotta leave you.
Okay, well, go ahead.
Thank you for having me.
Thank you, Dr. Maria.
We always enjoy having Dr. Maria on.
She always is so reluctant with her opinions.
and she's always very very fair-minded about other states other than New Hampshire.
We'll have a long time tomorrow.
Tomorrow, we're going to come on at our usual 8 o'clock and we'll prepare everybody for the debate and for the interview.
We'll get as much inside information as I can glean, maybe from the Trump people that are... I don't exactly know what's happening with them, Ted.
Are the Trump people being allowed in to the debate?
They're not.
I thought they were being allowed into the debate, but not into the spin room.
I can, I mean, I've been in so many of those spin rooms.
They're hilarious.
Yeah, they were at first, they were going to be allowed in the room.
And then I remember after the first Kerry-Bush debate, I was the designated spinner for Fox.
And I went on with Chris Wallace, and Chris looked at me and said, how are you going to spin your way out of this?
And I said, just wait, you'll see.
And I did.
I told them that Kerry said the one thing in the debate that will end this election for him.
And he said, Kerry wiped them out.
I said, you're just looking at the optics.
I'm looking at something that will take him out right down to the wire.
And he said, what is it?
I said, when he went through that whole thing about being asked, what would he do if we had to get involved in a major attack on another
country that attacked us, or he said, well, first I would talk to my aides.
And I said that will meant to Americans that he's not going to be president of America.
He's going to be president of And man, they jammed him with that all the way.
I mean, and it really does describe to some extent the big gulf between, you know, the Republican Party and Democratic Party, despite the gap between Bush and Trump.
We really are an America first party, and they've become the rest of the world first party, much more even than then.
But Kerry's always been, and Kerry and Kerry is just a non-demented version of Biden, a more intelligent version of Biden.
I would never say anybody was as dumb as Biden.
It would be a terrible insult.
And Kerry is not a dumb man.
No one is making that allegation at all.
Kerry's views are, I think, very warped, but certainly an intelligent enough human being.
But that was a big mistake.
And it wasn't a mistake.
It probably was a pretty honest appraisal of how they do things.
I mean, There are certain things where you make the decision based on your own country.
And I actually found when Trump was president, spent a good deal of time in those years traveling around the world before I began representing him.
He had great respect, even among people who pretended they didn't like him because they had to be liberal.
And he had great respect among the populations overseas.
A lot of them would say, I wish we had a leader like that to put us first and not the European Union first.
I mean, there's a certain amount of respect that you don't get when you're one of these Namby Pamby, let's worry about, you know, carbon and boy, that, you know, that, I mean, we don't have time for that right now, but boy, that's blowing up that whole climate thing.
Number of papers lately showing you how Carbon and the whole idea of greenhouse gas is nothing in comparison to the sun and may have been exaggerated way beyond any proportion.
I mean, of course, it shows up with the results.
I mean, basically, we were supposed to be flooded 10 years ago.
There's obviously something wrong with their theory, and these recent papers have really kicked the living daylights out of a theory that I've always thought, for my own reasons, which I'm happy to explain to you, has been more of a con job than a scientific theory.
But that's for another day and for another matter, and I don't think the Republicans are going to have much of a debate about that.
It'll be interesting to see what they debate about, and here's my advice.
Fool them all and be substantive.
Don't attack anybody.
How about we do the Ronald Reagan 11th commandment?
Don't attack another Republican.
Unless he attacks you.
That's fair.
I mean, like, in DeSantis' case, some of the criticisms that he's made of Trump, which I think are wrong, but he has a right to.
Trump did attack him.
Well, you get attacked, you have a right to attack back.
And Trump is, you know, Trump is the leader, and Trump had his right to attack him because Trump did it really on personal grounds, which is, hey, pal, I supported you.
What kind of traitor are you?
And in politics, I mean, I'm surprised that more isn't made of that.
That troubles me a lot.
I mean, when somebody supported me, unless something really went terribly wrong, I wasn't going to ever go against them.
Particularly if I didn't have to, and he doesn't have to.
I know firsthand by being there and campaigning for DeSantis at the request of Trump, maybe even the command of Trump, that he bailed him out.
It was him and it was his surrogates that he sent there, including me, and I believe Newt and his son.
People who have a certain amount of popularity in Florida.
When he ran for governor of Florida, there's no doubt I had a bigger name recognition in Florida than he did.
I'm not even close.
If you ask Rick Scott, Rick Scott would tell you I helped get him elected.
So, I mean, Trump used, it wasn't just he endorsed him, it wasn't just that he did his obligatory visitor to, he used his whole, he used all the people that are now getting indicted, he used his team to get him in.
Come on, you owe in this life.
This is when you start touching the real substance of a man, you know?
And that's where you find nothing with Biden.
You got no... You got a mean, vicious, angry crook.
Now, this fantasy isn't that, but there is something missing when you're that ambitious that you can't wait four years.
Well, in any event, we'll see what happens.
But I really will... I would think the guy or woman who does it is the one who lays out an understandable, interesting, and entertaining vision of the future of America.
It can't be boring, nerdy stuff.
It's got to be, and the way Trump does, you know, build a wall, tear down the wall, that kind of, you know, you got to make it, I mean, the wall might be a good thing to talk about, particularly the fact that they opened it up now, And if they've been talking about how it doesn't work, what would you have to open it for?
I think a lot of time spent on the border and how you're immediately, you're immediately going to secure the border.
Immediately.
So I'm looking for the guy or woman who outlines a plan for me of how they're going to deal with the worst situations that understands them and is ready to act.
and can in an interesting way explain it to me. I don't think they're going to beat Trump,
but that's the person that could become number two, and that's the person who becomes vice
president. So that's my view. We'll be back tomorrow, same time, same place.
We'll be back tomorrow, and I think tomorrow, by the end of the night,
will give us a pretty good picture of the Republican side.
Indeed.
And the other thing I will say about all of them before they go into it, although this isn't true of all of them, but it is a strong bench.
You could not put together eight Democrats of that quality.
Couldn't with records like that.
I mean, basically you put eight failures up there.
You'd have a guy running an estate that everybody's leaving.
I mean, everyone says Gavin Newsom, Gavin Newsom, except the people that are fleeing California in droves, or the people in San Francisco and Los Angeles who are dying.
He's ruining the state.
And they're all going to Texas.
I can see you running against him saying, oh, yes, vote for Gavin Newsom.
He'll do for the U.S.
what he did for California.
And then you show all the people that are drug addicts, all the people that are homeless, all the people that are leaving.
Well.
God bless America.
We'll see you tomorrow night.
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.
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.
