America's Mayor Live (E231): Remembering September 11th, 2001

Good evening.
This is Rudy Giuliani with America's Mayor Live on a much more solemn night than most.
And that is, of course, the anniversary of the worst domestic attack in American history.
And one that was just a short while ago, really.
And one that I believe was significantly I'm horribly dishonored today in a way that I never thought would have been possible.
But every day I'm amazed at the lack of patriotism, the lack of honor, the lack of honesty, the lack of decency, The lack of humanity, the lack of empathy, and that's just a few of the things that happen to the American people every day by virtue of the terrible mistake they made in selecting a career criminal and a man who had basically been a liar since he was a child.
as President of the United States.
Today, the victims, in part, were the families of those who lost loved ones on September 11,
and not just the direct families, but the families who lost friends and loved ones,
or almost died themselves on September 11, or who know people who did.
Hard to describe, but let's go back because we're not going to let our demented
criminal president stop us from never forgetting.
Because September 11 was a day that honors Americans, that he's not worthy to even, he probably wasn't even worthy of coming there.
These are men and women, Who were innocent, came to work that day, opened their computer.
Maybe it was the guy delivering the bagels.
It is New York, you know.
Maybe it was the people finishing the cleaning or beginning it.
Maybe it was the computer operators or maybe it was the CEO.
Maybe it was the people having breakfast up at the beautiful restaurant atop the towers.
And they didn't live beyond that day.
Their day and life was cut short.
In a moment's notice, two major airplanes crashing into their buildings, creating panic, fire, and destruction.
Many more were saved than died.
Many more than anyone ever thought could be saved were saved.
You can go to the 9-11 Commission Report, which was a very fair and critical, at times, report that says that the firefighters and the police officers and the rescue workers conducted a close-to-miraculous rescue, a close-to-perfect one.
If I recall correctly, the estimate was they saved 98-99% of those that could be saved.
And that was, of course, with no notice and with a situation that was unprecedented, something that had never happened before.
That heroism of those firefighters and police officers and individuals in the building whose stories over the next day and two and three and four came out, the man whose name we will never know, I wish we could, I've tried hard, who was urging people to get on the elevator.
And then one elevator trip, a young woman told me on a trip down to Ground Zero, when I took the first group of families there, she was trying to figure out who the man was, because she tried to grab him and bring him into the elevator.
And he said, no, no, we still have to get more people on.
He said, look, I'm 77.
I've already had my life.
All of you have a long life to look forward to.
Man.
That's beautiful.
We don't hear much of that nowadays, do we?
Or, of course, Stephen Siller, who is the inspiration for Tunnels to Towers that we talk to you about every night.
Stephen Siller was home.
He was off.
He was going to play golf that day with his brother Frank.
He was watching TV on and off with his young children.
And all of a sudden he saw the attack.
He's a member of a fire company in Brooklyn, right near the Brooklyn Battery Tunnel.
He ran to his firehouse.
The company was out at the fire.
He got his bunker gear, which is something that I know quite a bit about because I supplied it to the fire department.
The prior mayor was too cheap to buy it for him.
And that would save countless firefighters lives.
I don't know that he considered firefight as part of his constituency, at least to that extent.
That's the way crooked New York politicians operate.
You don't usually hear that about David Dinkins, but he became a millionaire in public office, getting stock from a company that he voted on when he was in the city, when he was in the, A board of estimate million dollars at least in one case.
A number of other of his buddies had got stuck in that useless company.
But he didn't think firefighters deserved bunker gear.
But I got them bunker gear because they were among my most important citizens.
Why were they important?
Not because they voted for me or didn't, not because they were white or black, because they saved lives.
And Stephen Siller was one of the very best, but not unusual.
Most of my firefighters, if not all, would run to the fire.
There'd be very few that would shirk their duties.
It would have to be a serious exception.
It wouldn't last very long in my fire department, your fire department.
Those are the stories that lift you.
Those are the stories that brought America out of it.
I often said, you know, starting that day, what would it have been like if that attack took place and America surrendered?
Suppose it created tremendous panic in the building.
People fought with each other to get to the elevators.
The firefighters, like happened recently in one law enforcement situation, just waited and waited and waited to go into the building.
There's a real possibility we could have had 8,000 or 9,000 deaths that day.
First estimate I got was 12,000.
Then it quickly came down because of the good work of the firefighters and police officers to about eight or six, and it didn't get down to where it ended up until a couple of days later.
There's no doubt they saved 10,000, 12,000 lives that would have been lost had there been an inefficient, ineffective, cowardly approach to it.
Because of those stories that next day about the firefighters and the police officers and the civilians putting their lives at risk to save others, it lifted America's morale.
It said, yes, we could be attacked in a way that we've never been attacked before.
We could have a Pearl Harbor but on a civilian city.
But we didn't panic.
Nobody died in the escape.
That's happened sometimes, huh?
In fires, people die as they are panicking and leaving.
Well over 1 million people exited New York City that day.
Nobody that I know of died in the exit from the building or from the city.
There were people frightened.
You see people running.
You see even more people walking.
You don't see panic.
That took a day.
It could have crushed our morale.
Lifted it.
And ultimately, that was the goal of our enemy, of the Muslim extremist terrorists who attacked us.
It was to break our spirit.
It wasn't just to kill us.
They succeeded in doing that.
All right.
Not nearly as many as they thought.
Not nearly as significant an attack on us as they thought, because I think they had different ideas of what the World Trade Center was and what it would mean.
But they did think that they would break our spirit.
They were used to an America run by Democrats.
They didn't fight back.
They were used to an America that if you attacked an American naval vessel in prior eras, an act of war, You would suffer the bombing of an empty field.
And some very nasty words said, but no real damage.
They were used to a president nervous about killing Bin Laden.
Kind of like the proverbial hand shaking.
Like that.
That's the America they expected.
What they got instead was a powerful America, right from the get-go.
Nobody backed off.
Nobody increased the number of deaths by panicking or being afraid of them.
They fought back right from the moment it started.
When I saw the firefighters lifting the flag, so reminiscent of their fathers and grandfathers at Iwo Jima, I said, they're the same.
They got it.
They got the genes.
They've got the American blood.
Yeah, yeah, it's not genetic in the sense of ethnic or religious.
Racial.
It's in the blood of the love of freedom.
The respect for human life.
The desire to serve and the respect for the rights of others, which makes the strongest nation on earth.
A nation that's overcome all odds, including a revolution against the greatest empire on earth.
That it won, that couldn't have been won.
So they came back.
They didn't come back in three weeks, or four weeks, or five, or six.
They came back the next day.
They came back that day.
I was there that night.
I didn't leave until 2.30 in the morning.
After I told all my people to go home, I didn't.
I went down there with my most trusted police officer, security people, who were like my friends.
And we just wanted to go over everything with nobody around, so we didn't make a mistake the next day because I didn't want to lose anybody else if I didn't have to.
And I saw so many people still working there because I had ordered lights earlier in the day because I knew we were going to work all night.
And all of a sudden, out of the fog, out of the fog of destruction and I saw these men walking toward me like in a science fiction movie.
It was my police commissioner who I had told to go home.
He had gone back, and he'd gone back for the same reason I did, just to check everything out.
He couldn't, and he knew that what the men were doing there, they would, what they were doing was risking their lives.
Every moment they were doing rescues because below the ground was a fire of 3,000 degrees Fahrenheit.
So, it's an exceptional day.
It's a day that should be remembered with great dignity and solemnity and respect.
Maybe in some cases, respect saying to yourself, I wonder if I have that courage.
I hope I get a chance to display that sometime.
I hope I get a chance in my lifetime to show to myself, to my family and to God that I have that also.
This is the way you build a nation on heroic, real heroic actions that are part of their history.
The history of a nation is part of the soul of a nation.
We've spent 20 years destroying our history, and we're trying to destroy this history.
I wish I didn't have to be political tonight.
I've gone through September 11th and I didn't have to be.
For example, from the very beginning, right after I left office for the very first ceremony, I've been at every single September 11 ceremony, except one when I had an operation on my knee.
And I was often asked, is the country safer now than it was before September 11?
And, oh, starting with the first year under Bush and even during Obama's years, Trump's years, I may have had disagreements with Obama in areas where I
think he really jeopardized us, particularly the money he gave to Iran and the Iran deal
and the way in which he caused a whole war by underestimating the ISIS. But in any event, as far
as protection against domestic terrorism, Every year I saw improvement.
Every year there were more and better intelligence, more and better procedures, more trained personnel, state, local, federal.
That's not the case anymore.
Let me just say it.
I mean, this country is much more in danger of terrorist attack today than it was on the day before September 11, 2001.
We've gone through the Biden invasion.
We've gone through an invasion of people we don't know.
Millions that we don't know.
Millions that we might have their name.
And they're due to come to court in five years.
But we don't have any criminal record or background check on most of them.
Some that we do, we find a dramatic, disturbing increase in the number that are connected to ISIS and terrorist groups, way beyond anything under the prior presidents.
But then, of course, we have those we never saw.
Those who got past the almost non-existent security at the border, estimated to be at least the same as the people that are apprehended.
So, if we had four million apprehended, we got four million running around, nobody ever got to see.
I mean, they could be planning terrorist attacks, or they could be the ones that are killing our children with fentanyl, or raping our children, women, Engaging in child trafficking.
Now, you have any idea the crimes that this group of illegals commits?
I remember illegal immigrants.
I remember illegal immigrants in the 80s and 90s when I was U.S.
attorney and mayor that committed less crimes than our people.
This group is so bad that just one facility, a short period of time, they've had 47 violent crimes.
The mayor, finally, Mayor Adams finally convinced a county executive to take some of these people.
Of course, it was a Democrat county executive.
Republican county executives protected their people against it by telling him to go to hell.
But the Democrat county executive in Erie County took 30 of Adams' invitees.
In less than 48 hours, they raped two women, a young girl and a woman.
They were all sent back and that Democrat executive is not taken anymore because he cares about his citizens in a much deeper and more honest way than Adams or Hochul, who still want jobs for the people that are here, which will mean they'll draw more here, but are saying nothing about the qualifications and what has to be done to figure out who they are or how we have to stop them at the border.
So let me make the final point, because it's really important that you understand this, because it all crashes down.
All of those great strides in security were in intelligence.
Intelligence means nothing if it's not given to the right person at the right time.
What good is intelligence if you don't stop the people at the border and check who they are?
You can have all the intelligence in the world.
It's great.
Once they kill 5,000 people, you'll know who they are.
Just like happened on September 11, huh?
Intelligence work really well.
You know, those 51 people that wrote that as a Russian pawn, the president was colluding with the Russians, basically, with the hard drive.
You know, they're part of the people that screwed up the intelligence for September 11.
And they're part of the ones that convinced Ben Laden there were a bunch of sissies.
Uh, that wouldn't strike back against him.
He didn't count on George Bush.
I don't know what you think of George Bush now, or, you know, I've got disagreements, I guess, because of Donald Trump.
I said once, and I say it again in 2004, that I don't care what George Bush does for the rest of his life.
To me, he's a great president for the way he responded to these animals who came here and attacked us.
He stopped them from coming back.
He sent them back into the caves where they belong.
Didn't he?
And what happened?
What happened as soon as you made the mistake of not listening hard enough?
I know the information was kept from you, a lot of it, but you made the mistake of not listening hard enough to exactly how crooked this president was, exactly how distorted he was, exactly how much of a liar he was, and exactly how perverted he and his family are.
So we have an editorial here by the Post, and I'll read it because they say it better than I do.
A new never forget.
On the other hand, America answered 9-11 by liberating Afghanistan from the regime that sheltered the al-Qaeda attackers.
Now President Biden has handed it right back to them.
He observed Monday's anniversary in Alaska, and his Pentagon lawyers are trying to strike a plea
deal with attack mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and the other top plotters.
Thanks.
you This isn't healing, but a willful effort to deny and forget
9-11 lessons.
Then they remind us of the words of George Santayana, those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat
it.
Part of the objective of Marxism is to get you to forget the past, particularly if it's a glorious past, because they want to dominate you, subjugate you, make you into a serf.
We'll be back very shortly.
The Howard 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.
Tunnels 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.
Our nation's heroes and their families need your help now more than ever.
Donate $11 a month to Tunnels to Towers at T2T.org.
T2T.org, that's T, the number two T.org, T2T.org.
Please donate now.
There'll be some in there.
Welcome back.
In addition to Biden disgracefully avoiding any one of the sites where Americans were sacrificed needlessly on September 11, And therefore, allowing our younger Americans, because the president pays attention to it, to learn our history.
And maybe we get too used to his lying, and therefore we just accept it.
He told a really despicable, disgraceful lie today.
And of course, no one in the kiss-ass media is going to point it out.
Except Ben Dominick, and this is how I learned it, on Fox shortly, a little while ago, said something.
And I'm relying on him because I don't remember.
It did sound strange when the demented liar said, I was at ground zero the day of the I didn't remember him being at Ground Zero the day after.
But it could be that he was, because I would have paid no attention to him.
At that time, I did not know that he was a crook.
At that time, I didn't know he was perverted.
At that time, I didn't know that he was demented, because he wasn't.
I did know he was one of the stupidest men I knew, and probably would have greeted him because he was a senator, but certainly wouldn't have gone out of my way to get advice from him.
Because I was certainly of the same opinion as Secretary Gates, his colleague, that he never was correct about anything in his life, that he was basically a charlatan, a little puppet.
You just tell him what to do and usually he doesn't do it because he can't remember.
But I was pretty sure he wasn't there, but I wasn't going to accuse him of it.
I was going to try to find out if I could Because I didn't want to accuse him of it if I didn't know, so I'm still not sure.
So I'm going to attribute this to a man that I respect and has the resources to check things like this.
I didn't have the time today to check it, but Ben Dominick quite angrily pointed out that he's a damn liar and that he wasn't there.
Now I'm going to tell you something, and you see if I'm exaggerating.
If you think Joe Biden is lying, he's lying.
Anything that sounds heroic on the part of Joe Biden is a lie because he's a miserable coward.
That's why.
The guy wouldn't have the guts to come that day.
He's afraid maybe his shoes would get dirty.
He lies constantly.
He's got to take his son's death, which is tragic, and tell people who really lost their children in the line of duty And to make it even worse, he got them killed, and he tells them that his son was killed in the line of duty.
That's cruel.
And what he said about being there on September 11th is cruel, because it was already cruel not to come.
And of course, it isn't that he just didn't come.
Because the press won't tell you this either.
Because 2,000 families wrote to him and basically told him, don't let Khalid Sheikh Mohammed escape the death penalty.
And they used stronger language than just that.
And a number of other families told him, stop letting so many damn terrorists in the country.
Mr. President, you can't even tell us how many terrorists you've left in the country
because you don't check.
We weren't doing a great job of tracking them when we were tracking them.
Thank you.
Look at what happened with the Boston Marathon bombing.
The FBI had every indication possible that they were terrorists.
Decided they didn't have enough resources to follow him after he came back from terrorist South Russia.
Like, boom!
And they didn't think of giving it to the Boston Police, one of the finest police departments in the country, because they're the FBI.
You know how many of those we've had, too?
And now we use terrorist resources to go after white supremacists?
Oh!
To go after parents who don't want their children mutilated?
And to go after Catholics that like the Latin mass?
You're telling me we're not a communist country?
Boy, we want to save ourselves.
We better figure out what we've become.
Shall we play some of the...
Some of his disgraceful, embarrassing performance overseas that they're not going to get to see anyplace else so they know how our country is viewed by the rest of the world.
Our citizens know because the crooked press is not letting them know.
Do we have that, Ted?
Nobody likes having celebrated international meetings if you don't know what you want at the meeting.
If you don't have a game plan.
He may have a game plan.
He just hasn't shared it with me.
But I tell you what, I don't know about you, but I'm going to go to bed.
Now, did he?
At the beginning of that, did he say, don't have a game plan?
Nobody likes having celebrated international events.
I could hear it.
You don't know what you want.
Like me.
If you don't have a game plan.
He may have a game plan.
He just hasn't shared it with me.
But I tell you what, I don't like you.
But I'm going to go to bed.
What does that mean?
He doesn't have a game plan.
I don't know if he has a game plan, but he hasn't shared it with me.
What, I mean, what is that?
Does he, does he, I mean, and why do we tolerate this?
I mean, this is, do you not think this is an important job?
What's wrong with us?
Why are we so cowardly?
Why is there no one in his party in Washington that stands up and says, get the hell out of there?
Get out.
Well, we'll get that one.
I did see it, but I think we should get that one.
I thought I would read this... I thought I would read this summary that we did on T... on X, rather.
I have a very hard time calling Twitter.
I want to call it tea.
I know.
Just a couple letters off.
As we reflect 22 years later, let us not only remember the tragedy, but also the triumph of the human spirit that emerged from the darkness.
We remember the innocent lives lost in honor of the firefighters, police officers, first responders, and everyday New Yorkers who demonstrated extraordinary courage and selflessness on September 11, 2001.
We remember their names, their faces, and their unwavering dedication.
It made me strive to embody their example, to be the light that shines in the darkness of times, and to honor their memory by living lives of compassion, courage, and resilience.
The heroes of that day demonstrated extraordinary acts of valor and compassion, saving countless lives.
They made the ultimate sacrifice, Laying down their lives for their friends.
Their legacy lives on in the hearts of their families, friends, and loved ones.
It lives on in the resilient spirit of the survivors who carry the scars and will forever.
It lives on in the collective memory of a nation that cherishes their heroism and draws strength from their example.
May we always carry the legacy of these heroes with us, as their courage and selflessness serves as a guiding light.
And to all the innocent souls we lost that day, we honor you, we remember you, and we'll never forget you.
Today, as I looked at the wall, I think the thing that affected me the most were the names I didn't know.
I know a lot of the names, probably more than most, right?
Not only from the funerals and the wakes, and now all of the ceremonies over these 20 plus years, 22 years.
And it never is, never seeks to confuse me, anger me, that all these innocent people were killed.
Maybe, just maybe.
Had we been more like Churchill in the years leading up to that, not like Chamberlain, maybe this wouldn't have happened, huh?
It sure didn't happen when we started to become like Churchill.
Is it going to happen now where we've become worse than Chamberlain?
Where there's no doubt we're seen as a cowardly nation because of our leader, not because of us.
You know, they may be making a mistake.
I don't think Biden can take away American courage, American honor.
He doesn't have it.
He's a disgrace.
But we're not.
You're not.
He can't erase our history, this one criminal, this one deviant, this one demented mind.
He can't, even if he is the president.
Hopefully that'll be ended soon either by election impeachment or removal under the 25th amendment for mental incompetence, which is so abundant the whole world knows it.
But we'll be back shortly.

I'm being selfish now.
But we're going to need all the help we can get in 2024 because I don't see them impeaching him because the Democrats are so dishonest and so crooked and so political.
What do they care about the country?
Look at the two useless senators I have in New York.
The mayor is telling us our city is going to be destroyed.
Never heard a mayor say that before.
And the two of them show up today laughing their heads off.
You know, I could hear the cackling.
Like... You know who that is, right?
It's one of the reasons I left a little early.
It was really hard.
It was like almost like a sacrilege watching them there.
Watching these people like Mayorkas who spends his entire time committing perjury.
His whole career as a secretary has been to perjure himself.
And Harris, and Harris, and Harris, who's the border czar.
I mean, I don't even think she knows what it means.
Though she'd probably say, you know, I'm the border czar.
That means I have to do with the border.
And I'm the czar of the border.
And the border has a czar.
And that's me.
Now, if you want to remain healthy, you have to have vegetables and fruit.
And, of course, you should eat them.
But the reality is we have very fast lives, many of us, right?
Even if we don't have fast lives, we don't always remember.
and uh and and you can't have enough this is not one of these things where you're not going to overdose on fruit or veggies these these these these pills have uh 36 in one case and 37 in the other different veggies and fruits all compounded so they're much much stronger and if you take It's debatable as to exactly how many, but I take... Well, I take eight a day.
Two, two, two, and two.
Two... Two of the fruits, they're the pink ones, and two of the veggies.
Now, I could... I could play a little game.
And since I tend to have more fruit, although today I didn't, Ted, the fruit today sounded like it was, tasted like it was sour.
We're referring to actual, an actual cup of fruit.
Not these great pills.
We got a cup of fruit and it was old and moldy.
Remind me tomorrow.
We got to get our, uh, I was going to send you out.
I was going to send you out to the kitchen to get us a cup of fruit.
No, I was going to have you get these for me, even though I had had to this morning at our, at our state, at WABC.
When you come in and you go through the kitchen, there's ample, nice free samples of this.
A lot of the people take advantage of it.
I should tell Dr. Howard, he's getting cheated a little.
So Mayor, sorry, are we good with balance of nature?
Did we get everyone caught up?
Code?
You go to, you go to, You go to balanceofnature.com, code Rudy.
25% off.
And you'll get $35 back on the baby capsules, which are in my room.
They're getting down near the end now, which means I might begin my Christmas project with them.
But I want you to try these because I want to get your feedback, okay?
Because then when we get your feedback, maybe we'll put you on.
Okay.
So let us know, let us know how, Ted, what is the best way that they can let us know they got their, their, uh, um, their balance of nature.
Yeah.
Comment below on whatever platform you're tuning in on.
And we'll put, we'll, we'll put some testimonials on.
Okay.
That's right.
And Mayor, at this time... And also, maybe you can also, because you can experiment with this, you can tell us how you use it.
You know, I do two in the morning, two at night.
So balanceofnature.com.
Code Rudy.
R-U-D-Y.
And we're now gonna we're gonna play a short clip.
This is from 22 years ago today at approximately 9 50 in the morning.
Here we go.
I should tell you that I've never So people should remain calm.
They should remain where they are, except if they are in Southern Manhattan.
If you're below Canal Street, you should walk out of Southern Manhattan and walk north.
And these people are doing right here.
All right?
All that we know, all that we know right now is that two airplanes struck the two large towers of the World Trade Center.
We spoke to the White House.
There also apparently was an attack on the Pentagon.
We asked The airspace around the city of New York will be sealed by military aircraft.
We've been informed that it has been, and we've seen military aircraft on the air.
So, we're hopeful that right now things are secure.
We need all of the open space we can get to evacuate people, to get people out, and we're going to have to move now and go north.
I need all media to cooperate and make this clear.
So that was the very first press conference that I had after we got out of the building we were trapped in.
And we were trapped in a building right after I went down there to check and make sure that the police and the fire had all that they needed and that our plan was being executed properly.
I went to the fire department command post right at the base of the The North Tower, and I met with Chief Gansey, and I asked Chief Gansey if he had everything he needed.
He said that he could use police help in moving the crowds out, that under our emergency plans, the fire department was what we call the commander, the incident commander.
These are programs that we worked out over eight years.
with the help of first Sherry Hauer and then Richie Shearer, who are the head of emergency management.
And they work with the police department and the fire department, so that we thought out, wrote out, and agreed in advance, under all different contingencies, who was in charge.
So we didn't have the perennial problem of agencies fighting with each other as to who the commander is.
So I'll give you an example.
When the building was first hit, Before it was determined what had happened, the police department was in charge because it looked like a crime.
It was a crime.
But when the planes were trapped in the building and it was clear that, at least in that building, the criminals were contained and it was a rescue effort, then the fire department takes over.
The police department was in charge of the rest of the city because the rest of the city, oh, for at least, well, certainly all that day and for several days thereafter, was at risk of further attack, a further massive attack.
And so the police commissioner, Bernard Carrick, had to keep his eye on the site.
But really, as an auxiliary to the fire department, Because they were in charge.
So his police officers that went in the building to save people who were emergency service police officers, who were trained like firefighters in emergency rescue, they were under the command of the fire department.
Meanwhile, we had 32 other, I'm sorry, 132 other targets that we had compiled over 20 years of Islamic extremist terrorist interest in New York.
It's very, very detailed, the way it's compiled.
It's done based on arrests made all over the country, all over the world.
And when you find material, let's say of a subway or a bridge, Or the stock exchange.
We record that and then we evaluate periodically what seemed to have the most priorities as far as the terrorists are concerned.
And we do the best we can to list them so that we give sufficient attention, the right amount of attention with the resources we have.
So immediately Before we even knew it was a terrorist attack, the commissioner said to me, I'm going to begin to utilize the, uh, the priority plan.
Now, this is when we, this is when we still had only one plane.
Uh, we were told it was a twin engine plane.
Uh, the hypothesis then was it could very easily have been an accident.
Probably not though, because it was a nice clear day.
Uh, it could have been a deliberate attack by an angered, angered, crazy man, or it could have been a terrorist attack.
The worst of the three is a terrorist attack.
So what you do in an emergency is you operate on the worst.
I'm going to tell you someday I'll break down Benghazi for you and tell you why Obama should have been impeached for Benghazi because he did just the opposite.
Benghazi.
Anyone who understands emergency management means you assume the worst.
What are you going to lose by assuming the worst?
Suppose it had been, even with the great weather, an accident.
So we would have wasted some resources of police officers.
We would have cut people off coming into the city for a short while.
That's what a professional emergency manager does.
Or someone who takes the time because they value human life to learn how to run emergencies, if they're going to be a president or a mayor.
Obviously, Obama never took that seriously, or didn't care, or had no one that cared.
But when Benghazi happened, every resource of the United States should have been sent there.
They said, oh, we didn't have enough time to get there.
What a big lie that is.
How do you know how much time you have to get there?
How did I know how much time I had to deal with those buildings?
I know now.
Suppose I said, oh, I actually didn't have enough time.
Of course he had enough time to deal with it.
He had hours before anything happened.
Would it ultimately have been enough time?
Well, you don't know unless you try, but We immediately dispensed our resources all over the city.
And then when we got all of that ready, we went to an emergency headquarters that we had set up, a temporary one.
We had thrown people out of a Merrill Lynch building.
They were happy to be thrown out.
I took it over, wired it up for sound.
I got on the phone with the White House and I asked if If we had air cover, I was told we did.
I asked if there were other attacks.
They told me that there'd been an attack on the Pentagon and that there were seven other planes that were at risk of attacking us.
I said, are they headed to New York?
He said, we don't know the number.
Number one, you should assume there might be more attacks, but number two, you should have air cover within five minutes.
And then Commissioner and I discussed the possibility of ground attacks.
Would this trigger a whole big terrorist response?
A police commissioner cut off all entry to the city.
Now, why did he do that?
Because the attack in 1993 came from New Jersey.
And we knew there were active Islamic terrorist cells in New Jersey.
In fact, we infiltrated them.
We had infiltrated them several years before.
We didn't get caught until well into the Bloomberg administration.
And Chris Christie blamed Bloomberg for doing it.
And I, of course, because I am who I am, I took responsibility for it.
And I called Chris and I told him I did it.
I did it because I'm sorry, I don't I don't trust anybody else with the security of my city in a way that's that important.
I only trust my police department.
What do you want to do, kill me?
He didn't kill me.
But at least I had a good handle on the fact that there were groups there ready to attack, and we had them very well contained.
But they very well could have joined that, knowing that the city was in chaos.
We went into a building, and while we were in the building, and I was on the phone waiting for the vice president, the first building came down, hit our building, and almost crushed it.
We were trapped in that building for a half hour.
We were reported missing.
Governor Pataki and my deputy mayor, who was with him, Rudy Washington, had gotten reports that we were dead.
And the governor drew up an order That I've never seen, nor do I want to see.
That he came pretty close to signing, which would have meant to take over the city in my absence.
When I called him, which would have been 45 minutes to an hour into this, his first response, because I didn't know of any of this, I was trapped, and we were working our way out.
I, uh, with my brave, brilliant, wonderful staff, uh, Bernie and, uh, Richie Shira and, uh, Joe Esposito, Joe Dunn and Denny Young and all of them, all of them, uh, Bernie told the story on him.
All of them, all of them, uh, All of them heroes in their own right.
None of them cowards in any way.
Not even hesitation.
And when we finally got out, we faced even more danger in the street outside.
That's what you're looking at.
As soon as we got out, I grabbed the press, had to make a decision.
Do we stay in the building?
The building that we have been trapped, actually the one next to it.
Do we stay in the building with the risk that it's going to collapse like the other building?
Or do we go outside?
And here was the choice.
If we stay in the building and the building comes down, 65 of the senior members of the New York City administration, I see one of them in back of me now in the picture.
That's Bob Harding, who was the head of our Bureau of the Budget.
Right behind my right shoulder, you see the red hair, that's Patti Verone, my security person, who was the person who first told me about September 11, about the attack.
She also once arrested an Islamic extremist who tried to come up to me and beat me up or kill me or do something.
She tackled him so well that she should have played with the Giants last night.
Did a lot better than any of the tackles they did.
And none of this garbage we see now with how difficult it is for these guys to put handcuffs on people.
Before you could say, Jack Robinson as they say, the handcuffs were on the guy, And all of my male guys have their mouths open.
I mean, Patty was a real athlete.
Right before that, you saw George Pataki, and that was Hillary Clinton.
I believe that's Hillary right there. Look how sad George looks.
Look at his eyes.
Look at his eyes.
Probably was up about three days at that point.
This looks to me like it's about the third or fourth day into it.
I usually judge it based on who I kind of moved around my uniforms.
I had FDNY some days, uh, NYPD.
Then I finally got a, uh, I got a joint, I got a joint PDFD hat.
So I didn't have to worry about which hat I was wearing.
Uh, This is a group of congressmen who came to view the site within about three days.
I don't see Joe there, do you?
No, Joe is probably hiding somewhere.
He's a little afraid to come.
It almost looks like a young Bill Nelson there.
Yeah, it could be.
No.
Right there?
Yeah.
Doesn't it?
Or Tom DeLay?
Now they're all kind of running together.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
What else you got?
Let's see.
Oh, that's, of course, we know who that is.
That's Rumsfeld.
In the middle is a man who would be with us tonight, getting the same accolades as Tom Van Essen and Bernie Kerik.
That was Richard Shearer.
Richard was the Commissioner of the Mayor's Office of Emergency Management and really a key player in this because He's the one that kept us current on all the most modern emergency techniques, and he evaluated us.
So I began in 94 when I took over because the attack in 93, you know, was less than a year old.
I began this new Office of Emergency Management.
They had a number of functions, but one function was to really be almost a school.
So if we had an emergency, They would of course help with it, but they'd also keep some people back to evaluate it.
So we did our own internal evaluations of emergencies.
And Richie would then, within a month or so, we would all get together, usually on a weekend, and he would go over what we did right, what we did wrong, what new equipment we might need.
That's why we were ready for anthrax.
The minute anthrax hit, we had, to the surprise even of the hospitals in New York, about a five-month supply of the antibiotics needed to combat it.
I think you've recognized those people.
That was the police commissioner, the governor.
You might notice the governor is in almost every one of these pictures.
We were inseparable at this point.
We began, and this is a very important point to make as part of emergency management.
From the moment I was discovered alive, we met within a half hour at the police academy, which was our first emergency management center.
And for the next two months, we spent every day together.
And we ran our governments together.
So my staff meeting and his staff meeting was merged in the morning.
During the height of the emergency, we had an additional meeting at noon or one, and an additional meeting at six.
After each meeting, we would brief the press so there'd be total transparency.
There was very little the press didn't know unless it was classified information.
Classified by the federal government, not by... I don't know that I... My mayor doesn't classify information.
And I told the press at the beginning, I don't know if they remember or...
But I tried to tell them I'm going to tell you everything I know, unless I can't.
And it may not turn out all to be right.
I'm going to tell you when I know it.
And if it turns out to be wrong, then I'm going to tell you it's wrong.
But to avoid conspiracy theories, I'm not hiding anything.
And unless I'm told by the federal government that I have to.
And I think that worked out really, really well.
I think it got for me and the governor A real bond of trust with our people.
And when I teach emergency management, which I used to do, it's one of the main things I talk about, which is transparency.
That's right, Mayor.
And so now we're going to go ahead and play another clip.
We'll play the clip and let you talk about it.
I know that there's great concern over what the numbers of people lost are.
We don't know the answer to that.
The dimension will be very large.
In terms of the people we're looking for, it's a couple of hundred firefighters.
Um, and police officers, which is a staggering number.
As far as the number of people in the building, that will be in the thousands.
But there's no way of knowing at this point, and we're going to keep praying and hoping that we save as many people as possible.
So on, on, uh, you know, it's a little strange because you're on TV and I'm, but on one side mustache, uh, is Bernie Carrick, police commissioner.
On the other side is the commissioner of emergency management, Richie Shearer.
And this was, I'm going to, it looks to me like a press conference the first day and maybe the second or third one of the day.
We'll play it again.
I know that, um, I know that there's great concern over what the numbers of people lost are.
We don't know the answer to that.
The dimension will be very large.
In terms of the people we're looking for, it's a couple of hundred firefighters and police officers, which is a staggering number.
As far as the number of people in the building, that'll be in the thousands.
But there's no way of knowing at this point, and we're going to keep praying and hoping That we save as many people as possible.
Mr. Mayor, there are reports that there are a group of- Back to you.
That was more like I thought about one, but.
And, um, that was at the Police Academy, which became our first
Emergency Management Center, which lasted on Tuesday through Sunday.
And then on Sunday afternoon, we moved to the pier, which became much more famous.
And, uh, pier 92, I think it was much larger.
It was in fact, we never actually filled the entire space.
We almost got there.
That's it.
And we moved to the pier in case there was another bombing, we would have the water available.
Because New York City is accessible.
Remember, New York City is three islands and a peninsula.
Name the three islands, boys.
Three islands and a peninsula.
There's only one part of New York City connected to the mainland completely.
You're local.
You got this.
So there's three islands that make up New York?
Three islands and a peninsula.
The three islands.
Long Island.
Correct.
Staten Island.
Correct.
You're saying, I guess Manhattan is technically an island?
Technically?
Not technically.
It's an island.
Okay.
Surrounded by water.
It's an island.
Technically an island.
You're getting like those people with 50 genders and stuff.
We don't change names.
There's a river?
Okay.
A river?
Is that what it is on the top?
Yeah, a river.
Oh, it's not a canal?
It's a river.
100% natural river.
Okay.
Guys, I'm a non-New Yorker here.
Probably at one time much, much bigger.
Okay.
Well, that was my hang-up.
up. I thought there was a... New York City is surrounded by Harlem River to the north,
East River to the east. Easy to figure out, right?
The Bay of New York, which is the Atlantic Ocean to the south, and Hudson River to the west.
Those are the four.
And what happens is they all really flow into each other.
The Hudson River flows into the Atlantic Ocean, the Atlantic Ocean flows into the Hudson River.
And then up north, which is not technically part of the boundary of New York, there's the Long Island Sound, which comes in from the Atlantic Ocean that separates New York from Connecticut and then Rhode Island further out.
And then if you go around there, you go up to Boston.
Of course, that's how Long Island was settled by the Massachusetts Bay Colony.
So you have two separate origins for New York.
You have the Dutch who settled Manhattan.
And you have the English who settled eastern Long Island.
Uh, both in, you know, pretty similar in time.
That's interesting.
And finally, based on the European wars, uh, the English got the rest of New York from, from, from the Dutch.
I need to learn.
And then New York, New York became New York.
It was New Amsterdam.
Original title for New York, which, um, I think it was 1624, it was New Amsterdam, and I think 1665 or so, I may be off a little bit, 1665 it became New York, named for the Duke of York, of course.
Can you imagine what that must have been like?
But you know, like in New York, things never change.
The Dutch origins of New York still are very, very apparent.
Bronx.
That's a Dutch word.
Bronx?
Bronx.
Wow.
There are some of the Dutch manors are up in the Bronx and houses in Brooklyn.
They're Dutch houses.
Manhattan.
Really?
Yes, sir.
And Staten Island was settled by the Huguenots.
A lot of it was settled by the Huguenots who were who were Protestants, French, that were rebelling from the
Roman Catholic Church.
French Protestants?
French Protestant, which is really tough because France was a very, very loyal,
I guess the only more loyal, probably Spain was the most loyal Catholic country.
Italy was a very loyal Catholic country religiously, but Italy always had political differences with the Pope.
Really?
Well, the city states and the papal states were often at war.
Italy wasn't a country until 1860.
Italy wasn't a country?
What was it before that?
country until 1860. Italy wasn't a country? What was it before that? Regions. Regions.
There was no Italian flag? The kingdom.
The kingdom of Italy, King Umberto, was just a very northern part of Italy.
At one time Sicily and Naples were connected together as the kingdom of the two Naples owned by Spain.
The king of Spain was the I kind of see a map, because Naples is along the... Naples is the south.
Is the south of France?
Or Italy?
And right across the Mediterranean from Spain.
And the Spanish captured it really away from the Pope.
Well, where did the Protestant Church come from?
Not much Protestant in Italy.
But the Church of England... Not much Protestant in Italy.
Or France?
What about France?
France had a group of Protestants called the Huguenots, and they were not very welcome in France, and as the Puritans were not very welcome in England.
You know, England became Protestant, but not really very Protestant.
So the Anglican Church, or the Church of England, was the closest thing you could find to the Roman Catholic Church, except not under the Pope.
Henry VIII, who broke from Rome, died believing he was a Catholic.
But he established the Church of England?
He established the Church of England, kind of.
He established himself as the head of the church in England.
He established himself as, in my country, I'm just as powerful as the Pope, but it's the same church.
So, for example, until Elizabeth I, the Mass, In England.
In the English church.
Which said in Latin.
And Henry was fluent in Latin.
Spoke it and wrote it.
Up until... Up until never.
Until he died.
And Henry spent as much time persecuting the Catholics as he did persecuting the Protestants.
Because he didn't consider himself a Protestant.
And hated Martin Luther.
He considered himself a Catholic.
I'm probably considered the Pope.
So he considered himself a Catholic, but who didn't answer to the Pope?
That's exactly right.
That would be the way to say it.
But all the doctrines were the same, except divorce, because that was inconvenient.
But even there, he would sort of wiggle his way around divorce with annulment and... This is Henry VIII?
Henry VIII?
Yeah, you know, you don't have to divorce the wife you kill for treason.
Yeah, well, of course, it was justified.
What did Anne Boleyn got killed for?
The story of Anne Boleyn.
Also for having sex with her brother and all kinds of things that now are highly questionable.
Well before we, Mayor, we had a question.
In Henry's case, to be fair to Henry, which we shouldn't be because he killed a lot of people, but it really was not as much about sex as it was about having a boy.
For some reason, he couldn't have a boy.
He loved Catherine.
His first wife was Catherine of Aragon, which was his brother's wife.
And his brother died.
He was going to be King Edward.
And all of a sudden, he gets pushed into the throne.
And do they keep Catherine as the bethrothed?
And the question is, was she... In those days, you could not marry Your sister-in-law.
The church had to give you a dispensation to marry your sister-in-law.
And it had to be based on the fact, I think, that they hadn't consummated the marriage.
So Edward and Catherine of Aragon, who came from the most powerful kingdom then in Europe, Spain.
So it gave the Tudor dynasty a connection to the most powerful Catherine claimed to the day she died that she never had sex with Edward.
They were only married a short time and he was sickly.
So then she was able to get the dispensation and marry Henry.
So then when Henry couldn't have male children with her, and I guess he also fell in love kind of with Anne Boleyn, Uh, so I don't know how much of it was, uh, uh, sensual, how much of it was hard to know, but he then claimed that she lied, Catherine lied, and she really had had sex with his brother.
And therefore that marriage was null and void.
So he put her aside.
The church never accepted it.
Could have.
It wasn't necessarily the Pope's decision, it was the Holy Roman Emperor, who had a lot of political influence on the Pope, who was the brother or the nephew of Catherine of Aragon, and he didn't want to see his relative put aside, so he kept pressing the Pope not to give the dispensation.
The Pope could have given it.
It would have a very different history.
England would still be a Roman Catholic.
Well, that was the start of the Reformation.
This could be like a documentary, like, you know what I mean?
You know how many people don't know this?
I don't know how relevant it is to tonight.
We are talking about September.
Yeah, we got off track here.
But again, it just demonstrates, you know, the mayor here and somebody described this.
You're a renaissance man.
You cannot have an adequate understanding of what is happening to you unless you understand everything.
You've got to understand history.
You've got to understand history and you've got to understand what makes up the major forces in the world.
And that's why I try very hard to get people to see how this all comes together in communism.
All the things we're experiencing, all the things where we wake up in the morning and we say, how could this be that in America We got confusion as to whether you're a man or a woman, when it's kind of easy to figure out, you know.
And we have judges saying, I can't define a woman.
What kind of strange social engineering is going on to try to convince people of this blasphemous fantasy?
To destroy all the norms of our society so they can be recreated.
So we have no confidence in our culture.
If people would read Chinese history and figure out when they hear the word cultural revolution what that meant, What it meant was that the Chinese communists were worried that the traditions of this wonderful, beautiful culture of China were going to revive and snuff out communism.
So they snuffed out the Chinese culture, Chinese dance, Chinese music, Chinese literature.
It's like what's going on now, the selfishness.
The same thing with our burning the statues, burning the flag, get people to hate the flag, get people to hate the anthem, rewrite our history so that we're mean, evil, horrible people, convince people that every white person is a vicious, unreconstructed racist.
Marx saw the dividing line as class, rich-poor, but Gramsci and other communists, having seen their attempting to try that in the West, and particularly America, and it didn't work, realized that race could become a better dividing line, a more volatile dividing line.
So that's why, you know, Black Lives Matter is a communist organization.
I'm not making that up.
They tell you that.
That's self-acknowledged.
Communism has everything to do with what is happening to us now, why we have confusion about genders, why, well, the one they love is trying to make, you know, being a traditional Catholic, being a terrorist.
One of their great enemies is religion.
And the Catholic religion is probably their primary enemy.
And so the idea of the FBI having a memo saying that people who like the Latin mass are terrorists.
Crazy.
It's crazy.
There's no connection at all between terrorism and the Latin Mass.
People who like the Latin Mass are probably very cultured and civilized people who love a beautiful language, and particularly the singing of a beautiful language that ends in vowels.
We're getting too complicated, but I mean, in Latin and in Italian, words don't end.
They go on forever because they end in vowels.
Amo.
Oh.
Amo.
Right?
Or if I just say, yes.
How about si?
Si.
I can sing that better.
Are you coming to the store?
Yes.
Or you do it in Italian, you'd go si.
It goes on forever.
The word goes on forever.
A vowel lets a word go on forever.
Oh my god, that's amazing.
Well, so I end tonight the way I started, very, very sad.
Yeah.
Sad because The day for me is always very sad.
It's often helped by the concentration on the heroism and the wonderful things that have come from it.
And the Tunnel of Towers, for example, is a great way to get out of the depression of September 11 by seeing the wonderful things.
The wonderful things that have been done for our soldiers that are catastrophically injured and for our families that lose their loved ones and it all came out of the sacrifice of Stephen Siller and it's wonderful to see what the Siller family has done by sharing that with so many people because it's wonderful for the people who participate in it too.
It does wonderful things for them and that often makes me feel better and it does just thinking about it right now it makes me feel better but to think Of the danger that this man has put my country and our country in is so depressing, and so I know we're going to work our way out of it, but that's not guaranteed.
We're going to have to do it.
He has us there now.
We're there now.
I mean, we're in many ways a fascist country.
Our justice system is a fascist justice system.
You don't indict a major party candidate for president for the kind of nonsense they're indicting him for and tie him up for the entire year so he can't run without proving a single thing.
They haven't proved anything. And you know, and suppose, suppose they go to trial and they don't prove it, but they
tie him up for the entire year, he'll lose.
It's the pro- it's the- As I have found out, with the way they have cost me enormous amounts of money, and with much more in sight, the process is the punishment.
I mean, they can, just to fight, You just think of the fact that I was investigated for three years and the result being I didn't commit any crime.
You think that was for nothing?
It cost me an enormous amount of money.
It cost me my law business.
It costs you being able to do other things.
A certain number of people believe it.
And even when you get cleared, they don't believe it.
In fact, not only don't they believe it, some newspapers, I think the New York Times just recently wrote that I was subpoenaed and that my house was raided and my law office was raided.
It doesn't point out that I was cleared.
It doesn't point out that there's a conclusion to that with a very specific document to the grand jury saying they couldn't find any evidence of a crime.
But if I were a Republican, a Democrat, I wouldn't have to worry.
They wouldn't even print it.
But even if they did, they would have printed it with that first.
So we're going to go through one more September 11 before we get to the next election.
and And let's just hope he straightens out some of this border situation before the election.
I don't know how much more of this we can take.
I don't know how many more terrorists we can allow to come into the country.
Right now, we have no idea how many terrorists are crossing the river in Texas.
That if I were running, uh, if I were running Al-Qaeda, or if I were running, um, ISIS, I would have my pick of, uh, Mexican cartels to get my people in.
And all I'd have to do is pay them three or four million, and they'd get my top people in.
And they'd get them in, in ways in which they were never detected, because they know that border better than the Border Patrol does.
So they might even do it for a big deal like that, to get in money launderers, or to get in child traffickers, or to get in big loads of fentanyl on which, you know, China both makes money and kills us, or to get in top-notch terrorists.
You might help maybe 2,000, 3,000, 4,000, 5,000 people come in,
many of whom may not be criminals, to distract us. You slip in with those people, some of the more
benign ones, you get their attention to this side of the border, and then you've got plenty of
opportunities over here.
You don't know where the hits are coming from.
Yeah, I mean, it's a big border, and we don't have a lot of resources.
And we don't use them for apprehension anymore.
And we don't have people in leadership.
So you see what I'm saying?
We don't try to even stop that now.
Right.
So I don't have to really outthink the Border Patrol too much because they're not going to come looking for me.
In the old days, at least, there was a cat-and-mouse game, which meant we kept it down.
It didn't mean we got everybody, but it meant we got a lot.
And the extrapolations they use are based upon when we had more enforcement.
So the extrapolation is anywhere from the real left-wingers who want to have open immigration have to concede that people get through.
So they'll say it's about 50%.
So if we, you know, If we apprehend or stop or question 2 million, they'll say another million came in without that.
More realistic estimates are 100%, 150%.
So for every million, a million, a million five.
Bernie Kerrick and a group of people who are actively doing this work undercover that I met with recently say it's out of control right now.
Because all those numbers were predicated on are doing some surveillance and some interruption.
There's none at now.
It's a wide open border.
This is their number one weapon.
And they say this is five to one and they're going to do a lot of it because they feel it's not going to last.
So let's get it done.
Right, right.
Because they even think that maybe they'll get rid of Biden and a brain will come in on the Democrat side.
They're going balls to the wall.
I think they know that China has gotten Biden for them.
I don't, I mean, people say to me, you think Biden is corrupted by the cartels?
I don't think he has to be.
I think China, that was China's job.
China got Joe, plus they got plenty more pictures and they got plenty more crimes that even Comer isn't gonna get his hands on, that China has.
Well, Ted, any more questions?
A lot of comments tonight, Mayor.
A lot of people just kind of, you know, thanking you in so many different ways.
A lot of folks talking about, you know, some folks just pulling from seeing a lot of these, you know, how your leadership that day helped folks kind of set the example for fathers, for parents, right?
For those who had young ones.
I mean, I was 11.
Uh, that day.
So you had, you had set the tone and set an example for others at the time, 2001.
Uh, I mean, it's really was a different era.
I really feel like it was, I mean, I was 11.
Uh, but it really, you know, you set the tone and set an example and helped others, not just, you didn't just comfort the mayor, but you helped set an example of how they could Talk with their families, in their communities, not just New York.
Remember, Mayor, I, at the time, I'm in Houghton, Michigan, a small town in Michigan, right?
And as I say, there are two people that I remember that day and their reaction.
My father and you, New York's mayor, Rudy Giuliani, who on that day, when so many others ran away from the fire.
You went towards it.
You went towards it and you've explained in so many ways why you wanted to be there.
You had to be there for your people.
The city of New York entrusted in you, the office of mayor, and surely none of them expected something to that magnitude to take place.
That's what I try to look for now.
And I find it so dispiriting that I can't find it.
I mean, I look at Biden and I see a man, whatever else you think about, I mean, I know he's a crook.
I have the proof.
The proof is more overwhelming than any case I've ever handled.
There are many people in prison where there's less proof that they're criminals than Biden, who's running our country.
Put that aside for a moment.
The man is obviously physically and mentally incapable Of running the most complex country on earth at a very difficult time.
He'd be incapable of doing it at a very easy time.
He has a serious illness called dementia.
And every day his brain cells are diminishing.
I wonder, where's the love for America?
Where's the love for America?
I mean, he does have responsibilities.
And to close out, well, Mayor, before we go, we're going to close with, I don't know if you remember, you too had done a touching tribute during that Super Bowl.
So I thought maybe we'd play that to close out.
But before that, do you have a message for now?
I mean, kids my age, or people my age, 32 now, what is your message to, I guess, young adults, young parents, right?
I mean, people my age have kids now.
Young teens even, right?
A lot of them.
Go back, go back, crack through the tyranny of the Teachers Union and the New York Times
and the 1612 Project, which is a disgraceful rendition of non-history and racism and communism.
Designed to destroy you.
Yeah, and go back to the histories that were written 20 and 30 years ago
that are more reliable and educate yourself.
I mean, don't take anything on just because some big mouth on television said it.
80% of them are just lying to you.
That's right.
And it's 80%, probably.
I mean, it isn't half.
I mean, the decrepit condition of Joe Biden is kept from most Americans by a corrupt press.
I mean, they don't know that at least four or five times he's told a story about giving a medal to his uncle in the White House five years after his uncle died, and his uncle never got the medal.
They're probably not going to know that he lied about going to Ground Zero the day after.
That's a pretty damn serious lie on September 11th.
It's the kind of lie that should probably get you just thrown out of the White House.
I mean, yeah.
And you know why he did it?
And he's been doing it all his life.
I mean, the man is a congenital liar.
How anybody can make a deal with him?
I don't know.
I guess if you own him by giving him money, you can make a deal with him.
I mean, that's why you have to give him money so that you can keep him locked in.
Otherwise he's going to lie to you.
And he sure does China's bidding.
I mean, you can make a list of all the things he's done for China.
No American president would do that who was an honest broker.
So I would say, make sure your children are educated.
For example, go back and look at the old surveys of great literature and make sure they read it.
Before they can evaluate today, they need to know about Plato and Aristotle.
If they don't know about Plato and Aristotle, they're going to become pawns in the hands of these communists.
If they don't understand how to apply Aristotelian logic, they're not going to be able to think their way through.
But if they can, Aristotelian logic will destroy Marxism anytime, anyplace, anywhere.
Well I'm looking also at Newsmax and I see myself there.
And with my friend George.
And Commissioner Diamond and Tom Van Essen there in the corner.
and Richie Shearer who's who died a few years ago of a heart attack and boy do I miss him.
So if you want you can put on Newsmax right now and you can continue to see me.
I just took my glasses off.
If you're watching us live.
To settle in for a discussion with a man that I greatly admire also, Greg Kelly.
And of course his dad, who was a great police commissioner.
Oh my goodness, they're showing a picture of the building.
Impossible.
Well, let's stay together, huh?
So you come back tomorrow here and tomorrow afternoon at three on wabcradio.com.
You can get us all over the world.
You can get us on the app and rudigiulianics.com.
Okay.
and we'll be back with you tomorrow night and God bless you and God bless America.
Sleep, sleep tonight and may your dreams be realized.
The thundercloud passes rain So let it rain
Let it rain Rain on me
Let it rain on me Let it rain on me
you So my mouth sure felt like praise.
I will open my legs And I will not show fault, I promise
Oh, I will open my legs And I will not show fault, I promise
Yes America!
America!
The walls that hold me inside I wanna reach out
And touch the pain Where the streets are blinded
I wanna feel The sunlight on my face
I see the dusk fire disappear Without a trace
I wanna dance The Louisiana rain
Where the streets are lonely Oh, now
Where the streets are lonely you
Where the streets are burning Still building their burning down life
Burning down life And I go there
I go there with you It's all we can do
Shades of blood All of the toast you've missed
We're bleeding in blood by the wind We're trampled on by the dust
I show you grace There's no sorrow or pain
There's no season or name Where the streets are burning
Where the streets are burning Still building their burning down life
