Time Text
Good evening.
This is Rudy Giuliani with America's Mayor Live from New York City.
Uh, I'm going to begin with, uh, going to begin with, but you almost, I almost was going to City of Reading and have you catch me reading, you know, but you really wouldn't have, and I don't like to act.
If you really caught me reading, then it would be okay.
But you know, every Wednesday I wait for this.
Now I'm already cutting it up as people say.
This is not an advertisement, by the way.
This is for your good.
For the good of the country.
For the good of the Republic.
Epic or Epoch times, depending on your desire.
I really should officially talk to the owner.
I've written something for them, and I've been interviewed by some of them, but I've never really met them.
It's originally founded by a Uh, anti-communist Chinese people.
So it does, it does have a great deal of information about China.
I mean, about what's going on inside China, but it has a great deal of information about everything.
And particularly in this day and age of useless newspapers.
I mean, I don't know, maybe I don't know all the newspapers outside of New York.
I mean, the only one that's useful in New York.
Really?
Well, I'd say that the Wall Street Journal is still useful.
But slip it, really slip it.
The New York Post is very useful.
And I do disagree with it because they have this big thing on Donald Trump.
I mean, they've got this... I can't use the word, but you know what I'm thinking.
They have this thing with it, you know.
But I don't know if they're forced to do it by the Fox regime, you know.
Because fox has become a totally different animal than it used to be under Roger Ailes and Rupert.
And since they've had me off for about two or three years, they've censored me for two or three years, I'm not sure I really know fox now.
I used to know it intimately.
I really have something to do with its being on the air.
But this Epoch Times really gives you a lot of stuff you don't get elsewhere.
I'll just give you a couple of examples.
Americans on prescription drugs for half their lives.
IRS contractor admits to Trump tax leak.
I didn't hear that anyplace else, right?
Charles Littlejohn, right?
New chip regulations on China.
The question is, will Biden enforce them?
It's an area where he's a little compromised.
Trump gag order raises questions.
Good article about the First Amendment rights issue there.
Then there's an article about Israeli rescue workers describing the horrors at the attack sites, what they found there.
And then the one I was just reading, former border chief warns of Hamas terror threat on U.S.
soil.
This is really an interview with Mark Morgan.
Mark is with the forming acting commissioner of the U.S.
Customs and Border Protection Service under President Trump.
I think you had seen him on Newsmax, maybe on Fox as well.
And he's very, very articulate and very smart, and he did a hell of a job.
Please, if we could only have him back!
And basically, he's telling you what the president should be telling us, or the administration, but they're useless.
And that is that the threat of terror attack on the U.S.
soil has increased quite, quite a bit because of the large number of people who have come in, both Modestly detected, let's put it that way, or undetected completely.
Now you always have to go by what you, you know, the numbers that you have.
So we figure, we figure that I'm going to give you a very, very modest sort of analysis of how many come in that are completely undetected.
In other words, they come across a portion of the border that is completely unpatrolled And there's more and more of those, the more our resources are stretched, and our resources are stretched now more than ever before.
I think all of that is true.
I think if Mark were here, he would tell you that.
We'll try to get him here.
In fact, if I knew I was going to read this, I would have tried to have him on to explain this, because he does it better than I do.
So, we had about two million people come in last year that we stopped in some way or another.
Some of them were sent back, very few.
Most were let in under some kind of a make-believe phony legal status.
Many of them in this asylum claim, where they say they're fleeing persecution, but they're really not, And when they do finally get a trial, which sometimes is three or four years later, it's only about 5% of them that turn out to be valid.
So you can get an idea of what a joke it is, right?
So you got about, we have 2 million we basically count.
So now you can use different formulas.
Formulas would go anywhere from 50% of that number comes in undetected to 200% of that number comes in undetected.
In other words, two to one.
So, I mean, it could be anywhere from a million undetected to four million undetected.
So let's say two undetected.
And necessarily those would be your worst cases, particularly the way it operates right now at the border, because the people that are let in Are let in almost uniformly, I guess they miss a few, but almost uniformly by the Mexican cartels.
So when they let somebody in who is definitely not going to be detected, that is a big, big bonus.
I mean, they're going to ask for big money for that.
So who's going to be able to play that big money?
The drug dealers from China, the Chinese spies, The Al-Qaeda and the remnants of Al-Qaeda, ISIS, the Islamic terrorist groups, Hezbollah, Hamas, the ones we're talking about right now, all been doing business with the cartels for 20 years.
Even pre-911, they were doing business with the cartels.
Now, big time.
And of course, human trafficking, which is at an all-time high, all because of Joe Biden's Delinquency is failure to enforce the, uh, in almost any way at all.
The immigration laws of the United States is disobeying them.
Uh, so the last 11 months, they picked up a one 51 that were on the terror watch list.
Whoa.
I don't know if we ever had a year in which we picked up that many.
They let through, picked up and let through, they describe it as tens of thousands.
I'd really like to get a harder number for that, but they say tens of thousands here in the article, known as special interest.
Now, special interests come from those countries that have a high degree of terrorism or are terrorist countries, like you would describe Iran as a terrorist country, right?
Yemen, Lebanon.
Look pretty terrorist today.
Egypt, Pakistan are the five that were given for the tens of thousands number.
But Mark, Mark's point is there are more of them in the country than ever before.
And if I think of New York, because of defunding the police by a billion dollars, there are less police by a lot to deal with it than even on September 11.
I mean, the reduction is quite dramatic, actually.
So he's saying to law enforcement, step things up and be very vigilant and review all of your terrorism protocols because what you're seeing at least should put a prudent person, a prudent law enforcement person, a political person who has responsibility for other people's lives on notice that something could happen here.
The people are here to do it.
They've got free reign to come in.
There's a bare minimum last year, among those 500,000 or a million that came in completely undetected, has to be a fair number of terrorists.
Think of yourself for a moment, put yourself in the position of a terrorist, a Chinese communist, a drug dealer, Wouldn't you take advantage of the border?
Would you just like sit there wide open?
It's like big, come in.
Sucker country lets you come in.
Come on in.
Come on in rapists.
We're just, we're just sitting here.
The door, our door is wide open.
It's wide open.
You remember we showed you the pictures of the actual part of the wall that Trump put up where they opened the gates?
How ridiculous is that?
Well, it becomes not ridiculous and not funny when you listen to Mark, who tells you, in this heightened environment, there's no question we're seeing an increase in reported threats.
I'm sorry, this is Chris Wray.
And we've got to be on the lookout, especially for lone actors who may take inspiration from recent events to commit violence of their own.
You know, he can actually never be right, Chris Wray.
I don't know if it's because he's a liar or he's not too bright.
The real increased danger right now is that the danger of lone wolves has been there forever and will be there forever.
It could be heightened by the fact that there's an awful lot of activity going on now that would sort of excite them, right?
But the real threat now is there's no question we have more terrorists here, unless the terrorists are stupid.
You've opened the gate for them.
Biden could have actually put up a sign.
If you're smart enough to evade our depleted border forces that are seriously depleted and ridiculously overworked, and you're willing to spend some money with the cartels to even increase your chances of getting in undetected, you've got probably 20 to 1 odds you're not going to be caught.
Now, you're not much of a terrorist if you don't take advantage of that, right?
Or a drug dealer.
You gotta be really stupid if you don't take advantage of it.
And they do.
And that's why we're in more difficulties.
The hospital attack.
We watched it very, very quickly last night.
Mike brought us a clip that that had been analyzed actually in the original edition of Al Jazeera with a pretty strong indication that they saw it as an aborted Islamic terrorist group.
I think the name of the group is the Palestinian... I'm going to get it right.
Palestinian Islamic Jihad.
But now, if you get to the later editions of Al Jazeera, now it's become more of a up in the air.
It could be, I mean, how can Al Jazeera give up the fact of making some kind of false accusation against Israel?
That's like saying that terrorists aren't going to send people across the border if you leave them open, right?
So now in Al Jazeera it's, but they still, I mean, to their credit, and I hate to give credit to Al Jazeera, they still leave open the possibility that it's an aborted attack.
It's a missile gone haywire, which apparently happens with 20 to 25 percent of their missiles during the recent attack.
They're not, I mean, they did tremendous damage to Israel because they sent so many of them over, but they actually did damage to themselves with the rockets, which I didn't realize.
But before Israel, in fact, we should have realized that when we first saw the first day of Israeli shelling, which really wasn't very Intense, but there was a lot of damage.
They had done their own damage themselves on the 7th.
Somewhere between 20 and 25 percent of the rockets In some way misfire, and a certain percentage, I don't know that percentage, but I know the percentage that misfire, but the percentage that come back or create the damage in Gaza is pretty high.
Remember, we're talking about a very, very constricted space, right?
Very, very constricted.
And so if it misfires Now from everything I've read
You you uh, but you never convinced him right you could come to a pretty solid conclusion
That this was a misfired Islamic, uh, uh jihad or whatever that group is rocket for
lots of reasons uh, particularly
with common sense This makes no sense for Israel to do this.
Even if you think Israel is That craven that they would do something like this, which I know they're not but it would not be It's not in their interest to do it Because they're gonna they're gonna get hurt by that it is in the interest of and the theory of Hamas to do because they are a terrorist group.
That's what they want to do They want to strike fear in your heart.
They wanted they want to Take advantage of their smaller resources and smaller influence by doing something very, very frightening that disrupts our society.
And therefore, it's in their interest to kill children.
I put morality aside for a moment.
Because they have no morality.
There's also, but nobody would buy this on their side, the Israelis are on a different level of morality, which is why you should never have a moral equivalent between a terrorist state and a functioning democracy, republic democracy, with a rule of law, an imperfect one, like ours and everyone else's, but one.
The other doesn't have that.
The other one is a combination of people running them who are terrorists or retired terrorists who have now retired into being thieves.
And stealing from them.
So, also from what we can tell, let's first take a look, if we can put that on, Ted, for a minute.
Just a brief minute here.
I don't know if you can see that too well.
It's a black and white one.
It's a black and white one.
It might not be the right one to use.
Can you see it?
We can.
Okay, so you can see where Gaza is.
This is where the hospital is in Gaza, right?
Okay, right here.
Just right across here is Israel.
So it was right here.
This is all of it, basically, all of the strip.
Why it's called the Gaza Strip?
Because it's rather small.
But the point of it is that From what we can tell, from what we can tell, it hit the parking lot of the hospital.
Is that doable now, Ted?
Like that?
Alright, that good enough?
So, now if you notice that, this is where the damage was done.
This is the parking lot of the hospital.
Right?
You see, it's the parking lot of the hospital.
There's the hospital building itself.
The written reports say that the hospital itself, as we thought last night, wasn't hit, but the parking lot was hit.
That then did damage to the hospital.
Now that's borne out by the fact that there is a lot of video of people inside the hospital.
You see like almost like chaos inside the hospital, but you also see sort of control like doctors and nurses and taking people in they're actually treating people in the hospital so it looks like and this is from the footage that we have so this is not do not take this as a conclusive analysis when we get more footage i'll give you one it looks like the hit was mostly if not completely in the lot which i think is a parking lot you see you see the cars that are destroyed there and
Okay, there's a there's an upturned car, there's a little small crater right there, there's a burnt out vehicle, then you have some roof tiles on this side, but the big structure of the hospital here looks like it's okay over here and over there in the corner.
That's also supported by the fact that there is video, I'm not sure we We kept that from this afternoon.
If we have that, maybe we can look for that, Ted, to show some of that later.
But if you play that video, you'll see after the bombing that they are using the inside of the hospital.
So I mean that sort of.
of the war.
So that explosion that you saw, that is the hit on the hospital or the parking lot of
the hospital.
Thank you.
There are better shots that I've seen closer up, but still from that angle it's not definitive that it's the parking lot and not the hospital.
But you can see That it hits in that area.
That was used last night to say that from the trajectory of the rocket, that looked like one that had been fired inside of Gaza.
And that was on Al Jazeera.
Told you it's been changed or amended to could be.
Not definitive.
It was much more definitive last night.
So when you look at where the damage was done, you can see pretty clearly that it was done in the parking lot.
There's even a closer, there's like just one angle of the parking lot.
You can see the structure up, right?
And the parking lot is destroyed.
Now, the number of dead Has ranged, mostly it's in the high 400s to 500s.
There have been some reports down in the 300s.
So I think we better wait a little, or maybe higher, who knows, because you might find some bodies under.
But as you said before Mayor, Hamas is the one reporting the casualty count.
We're in the hands of people who chopped babies' heads off.
And it's in their interest to make that number as high as possible.
And it was in their interest to hit that hospital.
And 500 plus, that's a shocking number, right?
And they got the reaction they wanted from across the Arab world and larger communities.
I mean, it's very, very hard to believe in coincidence in a situation like this.
That something that would be helpful to their propaganda happens just when they want it to happen.
Israel is so stupid as to do it for them.
When, in fact, the first reaction of the experts, including the Arab experts, is, oh, it's a Hamas rocket.
The hit is on a parking lot, not the hospital.
The hospital's there.
And the other thing you're going to see, if we could dig it out, is you'll see in the aftermath of the attack, people got into the hospital, took pictures in the hospital, and you'll see people being treated in that hospital.
So the hospital survived.
It isn't as if all the people in the hospital got killed.
Now, when you look at the damage left behind, I'm even going to question whether 500 is the right number.
I mean, I question it.
I'm not saying it's not true.
I'd say that when you look at the damage, both that and the one I showed you before, there were 500 people in the park a lot.
I mean, Mayor, you have a lot more experience than I in this area.
I don't only question it.
I mean, that immediate number I meet is met with skepticism immediately, right?
In the fog of war, when the, when on a side like that comes out as if they know the toll right, right away.
And again, if we could find that, if you can look around during the rest of the show and see if we can find that, you'll see that the hospital was quite active in taking care of people after this happened.
So, um, I don't know.
You have to be very, very skeptical.
You have to be very, very skeptical about what happened.
But I would say that it is a pretty good conclusion, and I think it will stand the test of analysis in time, that this was a rocket from the Palestinian-Islamic jihad that went awry.
Uh, now, did they do it, uh, purposely?
Because they wanted the publicity?
Hard to believe, isn't it?
But is it hard to believe?
When, remember, just a day or two before, the two governments, uh, well, you're seeing, uh, pictures right now.
We'll talk about that later, Ted, so we can, we can take that off.
That's the embassy, um, the, the attacks on the embassy today.
Um, the reality is, It's a little bit before day two, day two ago.
And for about four or five days, Israel has been sending out circulars, letters, videos, get out of there, get out of the way, get out of harm's way.
Go North or rather go South, go to the border.
They thought at one point, go to Egypt.
Egypt doesn't want Palestinians.
Neither does Jordan.
But our left-wing Americans and Nikki Haley want them.
Our crazy, wacky, left-wing Americans don't get the message.
Gee, why does General Al-Sisi, who is condemning America and condemning Israel for what they did, he doesn't want to take a single one of them.
And why does the King of Jordan, who embarrassed the President of the United States horribly today and yesterday, called off the meeting with him because, oh, Israel was so bad to these people, but he won't take a single one in.
Now, it would be strange for him to take a single one in, because he's probably, his father threw most of them out.
A million people, a million Palestinians were tossed out of Jordan by his old man and his old man's old man.
He's blinding.
Kuwait will take them?
I'm saying, man, how about they ask Kuwait?
Ask all their neighbors.
Well, Qatar seems to be the most sympathetic, right?
They got a lot of money.
They could take a million of them.
Yeah.
They only have a million people in Qatar.
900,000, a million people.
And didn't Egypt close the only border crossing with them?
They locked it shut.
Like we don't mock our border.
Like imagine if someone, all right, you have someone come to your door, Mayor, and they need a place to stay.
And you, okay, let me ask you, I'll ask your former neighbors.
Let me ask your former neighbors, you know, how was, how were you?
And they all said, no, they all shut them out.
And nope, we don't want a piece of them.
You're going to let that guy in your house?
I think it's a good, uh, the answer to this ridiculous, idiotic, left-wing progressive, whatever name you want to use, I'm communist.
Is, uh, we're not taking anybody until Jordan takes at least a million back.
How about that?
I actually thought when they talked about the Palestinian Authority way at the beginning, 30 years ago, I think this thing was screwed up horribly by Baker and Clinton by the end of the Bush administration, the first one, and then all of Clinton in sucking up to Arafat and, and trying to do this around Um, the moral equivalency between like the Palestinian Authority was ready to be a state or that, uh, we, that we are disciplined enough and honest enough, uh, particularly Clinton to really, uh, require them to improve in order to become a state.
I mean, we didn't have much moral suasion under Clinton anyway.
So how the hell is he going to get them to straighten themselves out?
And really, it then turned out that he wasn't smart enough to realize he's being conned by it.
Look, history won't say this because Clinton's a Democrat.
It was one of the biggest con jobs of a president ever, for years.
Arafat got billions out of him, maybe?
Millions, for sure.
But the whole group, billions.
He got the Nobel Peace Prize.
I don't know, he was man of the year or something.
And all throughout that period of time, he had no intention of making peace.
Because to make peace would cut off the millions.
That's all he cared about.
He didn't care about his people.
This guy murdered 27 Americans, which should have gotten Billy to, you know, but maybe his brain got soft.
You know, do any of you know, I want to see if anybody can pick, if you're, you will get the Rudy Giuliani really smart person award.
If you can make the connection, I just, if you can get what I just said.
That his brain might've gotten, that Bill Clinton's brain might've gotten soft.
And therefore he got conned by, if you can get that, you're, you're sharp.
You're really sharp.
Um, and we'll wait till the end of the show.
So the hospital hit, it's going to turn out that they did it to themselves, or it could be an accident.
It could be an accident.
Uh, because they're not, these are not very precise.
I mean, they did an awful lot of damage for people that are not very precise, but if they weren't, they would have done 25 to 30% more damage, uh, than they did.
And they fire on themselves quite, quite a bit.
I mean, or backfires on them quite a bit.
I mean, you know, I won't say anything because I'll get, I'll be accused of being a Weisenheimer.
But hospital hit, nobody's going to believe it.
You can have definitive, we can have pictures of them putting that parking lot on fire.
And this is like dealing with, you know, the Trump derangement syndrome, when you deal with Israel and the prejudice against Israel and the way in which they twist the truth and won't listen to the truth.
And it's terrible because it results in the death of lots of people.
So this comes from, this analysis comes from, I want to see if this is, BBC, okay.
So we'd say this is a pretty neutral observer, not particularly fond of Israel.
They say so far the findings are inconclusive.
Three experts we spoke to say it is not consistent with what you would expect.
from a typical Israeli airstrike with a large munition.
Those are three of their major munitions experts.
One of them actually from the U.S.
at Vanderbilt, one at the UK Institute, and the third one, they just give his name.
Flashes in the sky likely indicate the projectile was a rocket with an engine that overheated
and stopped working, similar to that used by Hamas.
This is all done by BBC, not me.
And this does not seem...
This doesn't seem to be, from what they can tell,
Um...
The type of missile that Israel was using doesn't bear any relationship to it.
And it does say that the experts in analyzing this came to the conclusion that we've come to what we've looked at.
It appears the explosion happened in a courtyard, which is part of the hospital site.
Images of the ground after the blast do not show significant damage to the hospital buildings.
What the images do show are scorch marks on the ground and burnt out cars.
So query, 500 people, hospital, not significant damage.
600 patients and staff were inside the building at the time.
Now they do say that a thousand people, displaced people, were sheltered in the courtyard when it was hit.
So if that number 500 is correct, it would have been those people in the courtyard who largely, tragically lost their life, and not the patients in the hospital.
I don't know if that makes any difference, but the truth is the truth.
Not that they're going to care about it, right?
Why don't we take a short break, and when we come back, we'll discuss, we talked about the threat in the United States, but We got Americans who are at risk overseas and, uh, and our feckless president did nothing for them in his, that had to be the briefest stay ever.
But in whatever he attempted to accomplish today, he certainly didn't accomplish saving any American lives.

Okay.
So I'm going to get you the article a little later because I want to talk a minute about the attack today on the embassy.
and uh do we have some we have i know we have some pictures we know we have any we have video from last night we'll play that well let's let's look at the pictures uh first you can see it's a pretty a pretty uh this looks like a black lives matter and tifa doesn't it this looks like the one i remember with the cnn reporter standing there saying the one down here peaceful like the reporter would be like right there saying The Black Lives Matter riot is a very peaceful riot.
Boom, bam, smash, boom, bah!
There, as you can see, it's a pretty substantial riot.
All these people would be released if it were in America, and we were in a Soros D.A.
town as all the ones who were released in 2020.
It's just Republicans and conservatives who don't do anything like this, but do other things that are not nice, but they go to prison for life or something like that.
But these people, and there's The embassy you see you see the crowd in front the crowd had actually gotten even larger than that that's not a particular there's another there's another shot of how bad it was I mean this is we're talking real we're talking real damage here boys and girls I mean here let me put this this way so you see it better but this is
Now, once again, watching this this morning, because we watched a lot of this live this morning, uh, I'm thinking she has to have been.
You think they'd have these places protected more?
And I would think so.
I mean, I certainly would, but I brought crime down more than any mayor in history and Biden has brought crime up more than the president in history.
So I guess he's not particularly good at saving people's lives.
Sure would not want to be an ambassador with him as president.
Would you?
I wouldn't.
I wouldn't feel very safe did he come and rescue me.
He seems to have a different rule than our other presidents who would not leave Americans behind.
He seems to like not care if he leaves them behind.
It seemed like he had got out of Israel As fast as he could, he sure didn't use the moral suasion of the presidency to tell these guys, you've been giving me my people back.
You're going to be, you're going to be very, very sorry.
I mean, it was, it's pathetic.
It's pathetic when he makes his attempts at a threat.
It's like watching a mouse threaten a lion.
He has this new one now where he says, don't, don't, don't.
I have to imagine the Hamas terrorists and the Hezbollah terrorists when they hear that, they must just quake in their boots.
It's completely ridiculous.
It doesn't go there and give any kind of moral support to those poor hostages that are being held.
I mean, does he have a plan to rescue them?
He answered some questions eventually.
Was he on the airplane when he answered the questions, Ted?
During the two talks that he gave, he just walked out and didn't answer any questions.
He just took off.
Yeah, yeah.
I mean, this is enormously important to the world.
I can't imagine a Trump or a Reagan or a Bush or maybe even a Clinton or even Obama not answering questions.
It kind of demonstrates he has no recall capability whatsoever.
They might be able to give him one I mean, how do you expect to calm people if you just go there and read a statement and not answer any questions?
I mean, you could have just sent a piece of paper.
Just send over a piece of paper.
What the hell do we need him there for?
Somebody would have read it better than he did.
The morning one was, the morning one was a man.
Wow, did he look bad.
Then the media talking heads come in and they save him.
They talk for him probably, right?
Yeah, they don't get outraged that he's not answering questions.
He takes them all the way to Israel to fly there to read a four or five paragraph statement that somebody else wrote.
And then he goes into his cage and doesn't answer any questions.
And they traveled thousands of miles just to take a picture of him stumbling over his words.
I mean, it's like Federman.
Hello, everybody.
Good night.
So what is the condition?
I do not believe they breached in any way the walls of the embassy yet.
Not yet.
But if you watch that crowd and you say, oh my goodness, that thing could build up.
Yes, sir.
I would say we better get those people out of there now.
Now.
To get this administration to act expeditiously and wisely with wisdom.
Is almost impossible.
Some of the areas they're in I know something about.
This is an area I know as much about as anybody.
Security.
And if I run this ship, these people are back by now.
Oh, by the way, I would have... I'd be making every effort to get our people back.
And not by begging for them.
Not by saying don't.
But by making it clear to them that if Israel's goal is that they're going to all be eliminated, if we don't get our people back safe and sound, if Israel somehow fails in it, I'll make sure it happens.
But you better give me my people back, because I have a long memory.
And we can do a lot to help Israel, and then we can do even more to help Israel.
And then we can do even more to help Israel.
And you kill one of my people, you're not going to exist anymore.
Got it?
So give him back, give him, give him back and leave America alone.
That's what he's supposed to do as our protector.
We have to protect him.
So, Awful.
Just embarrassing.
Now, the big gap in all of this, and I had a very good discussion with Michael Goodwin today on my radio show.
Michael is premier columnist for the New York Post, and he noticed this in his column, and of course I've been saying this for some time.
This is all a waste of time on his part.
If you don't, if you don't confront the real actor here, the real prime mover, the one that if you get rid of Hamas, you've accomplished something, but not much because they'll just use Hezbollah.
It's, it's, this is, this is Iran.
We've got to deal with Iran.
And he, he, I don't know if he lies about it or He's got himself convinced of, but he says there's no evidence of Iran being involved.
That's just absurd.
It couldn't have happened without Iran.
Hamas would not have done what it did without Iran.
We have intelligence, at least it's been leaked.
Maybe it's wrong, but the leaked intelligence says we've had notice of their being trained by Iran going back over a year.
You want extra proof Hezbollah would not have fired rockets into Israel unless they got the go-ahead from the reign of terror.
They run the show.
And instead of acting and playing their game and acting like an idiot who is submissive to them, why don't you go in their face and say you know that?
And you're going to hold them accountable for it.
Maybe you slow them down.
Trump figured out how to slow them down and just about bankrupt them.
And you saved them.
You just started giving them money as soon as they came into office.
What's wrong with you and Obama?
What the hell do you see in Iran?
I mean, what do you love about Iran?
I know maybe you're communist and you like some of these communist countries that kill their people, like China.
They kill 60 million of their own people.
But Iran?
What is it about Iran?
I've always wondered, Mayor, why are we giving money to other countries?
Not just money, we're giving billions, right?
and you weren't a democrat protected prince you'd be in jail for doing that
and we were hiding that you got caught doing it like a slimy drug dealer i've always wondered
man why are we giving money to other companies not just money we're giving billions right why
why iran that's iran's money we had we seized it so we're gonna give it back to them
Well, why should we give it back to them if we seized it?
We seized it for a reason.
Well, Iran is the force here that is driving this whole thing.
And just in case, Iran's Revolutionary Guards Deputy Commander-in-Chief, Ali Fadavi, made the following threat.
Which is that if Israel continues its attack, it will face another shockwave of attacks by militant groups.
If it doesn't halt, it's relentless bombardment of Gaza.
Now that comes from Iran's Revolutionary Guard Deputy Commander-in-Chief Ali Fadavi.
Biden?
Idiot?
That's some proof of their involvement.
We have no proof of their involvement.
That's some proof of their involvement.
I mean, I know we don't have the proof of their involvement like we have the proof that you're a major, massive 30-year crook and your whole family's crooked, where we've got everything.
Tapes, confessions, videos, texts, contracts, bank records.
I know we don't have quite that.
But we got enough.
Well, we're going to take a short break and we'll be back and we'll take a look at this debate that's going on with the professors and the colleges and American businesses, because there's much more of a debate now than ever before, which is maybe a good thing.
Could I have mine?
Donald J. 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.
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.
Let's go earlier and then that.
Welcome back!
Welcome back, uh, to everyone, uh, that had the benefit of Was that the Balance of Nature commercial?
The new T2T commercial.
The new T2T commercial.
That's Tunnel to Towers.
$11 a month to help our men and women in uniform who are seriously injured or who lose their lives.
You can't do anything better than that.
I'm telling you, that's a number one priority.
So let's take a look And you make a judgment as to whether this helped Israel, hurt Israel, helped America, hurt America, to see this performance and it was worth the trip.
Oh, and all the damage to climate change that he did, right?
Years ago I asked the Secretary of State when he and I were working in the Senate to write something for him and he said, uh, he wrote a line that, uh, I think is appropriate.
He said, uh, it's not, we lead, uh, not just, uh, well, I won't go into it.
I'll wait later.
He didn't finish the quote!
Oh, he forgot it!
Oh, so that was his way of, okay.
I'm telling you.
I'm telling you.
I mean, I really, I don't think you can contradict it if I tell you that half the people in nursing homes can do better than that.
Can we play that again?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Play that again.
I mean, why don't they throw him out?
I mean, the guy shouldn't, I mean, if you're an American, this is the guy that's protecting us.
Listen to this.
He's got the little button.
Years ago I asked the Secretary of State when he and I were working in the Senate to write something for him and he said, he wrote a line that I think is appropriate.
He said, it's not, we lead, not just, well I won't go into it, I'll wait later.
This guy is a joke.
You know, it would be a joke If he didn't kill so many people.
If he didn't get so many people killed with his incompetence.
I mean, somebody should do like a calculation.
Like all the people in Ukraine never would have died if he didn't become president.
Putin never would have attacked.
So, watch this next clip and check out Secretary Blinken here.
Do we have, do we, do you want me to play a couple of his, um, want me to play a couple of his, um, the ones I have here would be a little faster.
We can just go right to it.
Let's do it.
Let's see if I can find it here.
Uh, I don't know.
I have some from his plane you can play while you look.
Oh yeah, yeah.
Yeah, put a couple on the plane.
That's all personal look.
I spent an hour and a half about 17 or 18 before.
War.
Thank you.
I'm going to go to the bathroom.
Mass shooting, every circumstance where a large number of people have been victimized and lost, I spoke with.
I learned a long time ago, which you've all learned in your life as well.
When someone's going through something that is beyond their comprehension, that they've ever thought they'd have to go through, If they see someone who they think understands or maybe been through something not the same but similar, it gives them some sense of hope.
And I always get criticized sometimes on my staff because when I go to these events, I stay for three to four hours and answer all the questions.
But it matters.
It matters a lot.
Let's see if I can find that.
Yeah, this is the one.
This is the one here.
I want you to just listen to this because he repeated this in Israel.
He repeated, I guess he likes this, you know, I guess when you have a demented brain, these things kind of stick in it.
Limited fighting already on the northern Israeli border.
And I wonder what is your message to Hezbollah and its backer, Iran?
Don't.
Don't, don't, don't.
Don't come across the border, don't escalate this war.
That's right.
Wow, that's what those news people do.
They help him, they fix his stupidity.
Oh.
Bye.
He filled out the sentence for him.
Yeah, yeah.
That's what they did during the debate.
That's what that woman did during the debate with Trump.
She filled out the sentences for him.
And we end up with him as president.
He can't complete a sentence.
Don't... I mean, what...
But how ridiculous is it if you want to deliver, you want to deliver, I mean, he's delivering a threat, right?
There's no bones about it.
It's a threat.
He's saying, I'm going to, who knows what it is.
He's trying to convey, I'm going to do something to you.
You're going to pay a heavy price if you attack Israel.
That's what he's trying to say.
He can't even articulate that.
How can you be the leader of a country when you can't articulate a threat to protect your country or your, or your allies?
Isn't that grounds to throw you out?
Because our lives are at stake.
If nobody takes this seriously.
I mean, it is not a joke that this man is falling apart in front of our eyes.
Because he has heavy responsibilities.
And whoever is making the decisions for him, make some of the most incredibly stupid decisions that ever been made in American history.
I didn't even want to bother cataloging him, going through Afghanistan and Bagram Air Base and people that have died because of him.
And you're trying to convince terrorist groups they're going to pay a heavy price and you can't articulate it?
All you can get out is don't, don't, don't, and then Peli has to finish it for you.
Now, if we could find the one he did in Israel, he had nobody finish it.
Netanyahu didn't finish it for him.
He just stands there saying, don't, don't, don't.
Which way do I go?
Hmm.
Maybe, remember, what was the fairy tale where they put down the little crumbs, was it Hansel and Gretel, so they could get back?
I think it was Hansel and Gretel.
And then somebody ate the crumbs so they couldn't get back, I think.
Yeah.
Well, they should put little things down for them, like an arrow.
Like an arrow, like that, you know?
Yeah.
Like they should have, like you're over there, and then I'm finished.
I'm finished now, and I'm about ready to get up, and I don't know which way to go.
You go like, that way.
I used to have that when I introduced Donald Trump.
What's that?
Well, because I used to have to do, It's really fun.
I had to do a two-minute, five-minute, ten-minute, every once in a while a 15-minute introduction, depending on how much time he spent in the back schmoozing with the people he's taking pictures with.
Because his general routine was, when he did the rallies, you know, and we did them like, we did three or four a day.
So he'd come in, He'd come in, there'd be a crowd of people, there'd be a whole bunch of people speaking beforehand before we even got there.
When we got there, we had our little group that would get up and speak.
But then, uh, when he was going to get ready to come on, I would go out and introduce him to my job, one of my jobs.
So I had constructed a two minute speech when he's ready, five minute speech and a 10 minute speech.
And, uh, Johnny, his body guy, and I had a hand signal.
Like, if it was two minutes, he'd come out within about a minute and go... Or he'd go ahead.
And I'd say, okay, then I'd get it over with.
And now, the next president of the United States!
Then he'd come out at one or two minutes and he'd go, And I'd look at him, try to get a little indication, and he'd go... Okay, most of the time it came in at around 5, 6, had a couple of 10s.
And you struggled with feeling that time right there?
You struggled, knowing you?
Here's where I had to start over.
At 10 minutes I'd run out of all my material.
He comes out at 10 minutes and he's going like this.
He must have gotten into like a big discussion with somebody.
Yeah.
Oh, come on.
If there's someone that can keep the crowd amped up, it's Mayor Giuliani.
The crowd is so great.
All you do is keep repeating the same thing and they just feel crazy, you know?
And your next president should be Donald Trump!
You're a humble guy, but that's like saying, that's like you're getting two main events, right?
You get President Trump and before that, you get Mayor Giuliani.
Oh, man, Giuliani.
No, but that was that was that was fun.
That was fun.
We traveled everywhere.
I mean, all over the country.
What a what a what energy he's got.
Wow.
I mean, me too.
But I mean, I have I have great, great energy.
Yeah.
So do we have any do we have him just walking out today?
I believe it or not.
I have him walking out.
I have him walking out on audio and it sounds terrible.
It sounds terrible.
We have the, we'll play it for you.
Everything's going to happen.
Okay, let's go down.
Okay, so.
Good job.
Thank you.
Thank you.
MSNBC, notice how MSNBC cut away real quick, right?
They don't want to.
So we've got protests going on back and forth.
Down, uh, down in Washington Square Park.
They do it again tonight.
Last night, they had the pro-Hamas and the pro-Israel demonstrators.
Now, you know, when they say pro-Hamas demonstrators, you've got to step back for a second.
I think you did before when we talked about this, because you noted it, Rob.
No, the pro-Hamas, take the word Hamas out and use their designation.
Pro-official terrorist organization.
Hamas is a registered terrorist organization under United States law.
It's also been found to be a terrorist organization by just about every civilized country and organization.
So it isn't like a crazy opinion just of ours.
They just got finished killing babies.
And they're... It's one thing to have a demonstration because you believe the police acted... Yeah.
Okay.
You have a justifiable cause for your... Yeah, and you understand that people get confused about it and whatever.
Yeah, we just beheaded babies and now we want to... What is this?
Man, this has to indicate, at the educational level, I mean, our educational system is really rotten.
It's the normalization of it.
Yeah, it's really, really rotten.
Washington Square Park on Tuesday night, there were four or five hundred pro-Palestinian demonstrators, and they calculate about two hundred or so pro-Israeli demonstrators.
Now, to their credit, I don't think there was any violence.
So I'll give them credit for that.
And I think, I don't know if this was an orchestrated one, I think this was pretty much students.
The one that Ted went to the other day was an orchestrated one because they had censors, speech censors, official ones, with outfits on that would come over and tell the people to shut up, don't talk.
Now that's really strange because you're there to speak, you're there to exercise your right of free speech, You're there to protest, which is to get your message across.
But your message is so terrible, so awful, you're so worried about it that you can't talk about it.
All you can do is hold a sign saying, dumb, stupid things.
Like, end the occupation, to which I really wanted to go there and say, Hey, you can all go home!
I got good news for you!
I have good news for all you Occupy people!
It ended 17 years ago!
I brought videos of when it ended and the Israelis left.
And two years later, two years later, the Palestinian people were so fortunate to be put in the hands of Hamas.
Yeah, man.
They've only probably killed a couple hundred thousand.
That would have been something else, man.
So then we get the SWAT sticker at the 2nd Avenue deli on the Upper East Side.
I mean, come on.
That shouldn't happen.
And this is a frightening article.
I want you to look at the headline from the Post on this one.
Told you the Post is worthy of reading.
The Wall Street Journal is worthy of reading.
The rest of the newspapers that I can think of in New York are worthy of something else.
And I don't know the newspapers around the country, but you've got to get the Epoch Times.
It's better than the two of them.
But read that.
That's a scary headline.
Read it.
Rising anti-Semitism strains Germany.
I'm going to tell you, I was in Vienna, oh gosh, about 17 years ago, representing Representing the United States, representing President Bush at the Conference on Anti-Semitism, heading the American delegation.
And I have to tell you, of all the European countries that were helping in dealing with the... Germany was the best.
They gave us the most help.
And then I became aware of these laws, like for example, Justice Minister Marco Buschmann has said that local authorities should instruct the police to gather evidence of any anti-Semitic offenses so they can be systematically prosecuted.
As of next year, foreign anti-Semitic offenders will be barred from obtaining German citizenship.
Well, okay.
Now that, that, um, you could say that's an overreaction to, you know, the Shoah, but, uh, this is how tough they are.
Yeah.
But there's a little, there's something a little bit deceiving about this stuff.
And if I were German, I'd be all upset about this.
Who do you think is doing the antisemitism?
Think the Germans are?
The Muslims.
Yeah.
Yep.
Hours after the attacks in Israel, Muslims in one Berlin neighborhood were handing out candy as they reveled in the results of the attack.
In the sinister echo of the 1930s, some homes in Berlin were marked with the stars of David.
This is the now anti-Jewish sentiment is surging in the country's large and growing Muslim community.
Much expanded by the country's openness to asylum seekers from the Middle East.
So when Germany says they're going to expel those people, that's the equivalent of saying they're going to expel Muslim people.
Foreign anti-Semitic offenders will be barred from obtaining citizenship.
Absolutely.
That's what it says.
That's good.
Given the sensitivity of Nazi and the Holocaust, this gives a bit of wrong.
And when I first saw that, it struck me as strange because my own history with this and being involved in prosecuting Nazis and also leading the delegation and knowing that Germany is very strict on this.
I said, the German people are developing anti-Semitism again?
Can't be.
I mean, they did a pretty good job of wiping that out.
And I had a long conversation with the chief rabbi of Berlin about the whole thing, about the strangeness of Germany being the place where it happened and the horrible things that happened there, but also how constructive the German government has been in trying to kind of get rid of the cancer of antisemitism.
So I didn't get it just from Germans, I got it from Jewish people.
So I was shocked to see that.
But it isn't them, it's the Muslims.
This is thanks to Angela Merkel.
She's the one who let all these people in.
That's why they got rid of her, ultimately.
This is a sorrowous thing, too.
They not only want to destroy America, get rid of our nationhood, our nationality, they want to destroy Western civilization.
You know that.
I mean, this is a straight 1000% attack on Western civilization.
Judeo-Christian, Greek.
I consider Western civilization built on three rocks.
Judaism, right?
Greek learning, philosophy in particular, and Christianity.
Roman Catholicism at the beginning, Rome, both the Roman Empire and then how it merged into being Christian.
Uh, and then the Reformation, which brought us a lot of our views of the enlightenment.
So no, please don't get offended.
This is just a historical comment.
No one has a, this is a, this is a great, Unbelievable civilization that should be preserved for the benefit of people.
It is a beautiful civilization.
Of course, it has its bad marks because it's conducted by human beings, but at its highest points, it's unmatched.
Unmatched.
I mean, there are things in Western civilization that almost get you to God.
I mean, they almost Like the Sistine Chapel, huh?
That's Western civilization.
Like Beethoven.
Like the great buildings that people want to go see all throughout Europe.
New York City!
New York City!
The city itself!
What an amazing place!
How about jazz?
Jazz is created... The best of jazz is totally improv.
I mean, four guys sit down in a quartet and they make jazz.
And if they're geniuses, they make brilliant jazz.
And if they're terrible... Well, hopefully we'll have many more years of jazz to enjoy if Joe Biden doesn't stumble his way into World War III, taking us all with him.
The communism?
Communism seeks to remove the culture, because it doesn't want to compete with the culture.
They're the culture.
Culture is stark division and hatred between two very defined groups of people, with a third group at the very top called the communist leaders who all become multi-millionaires.
The idea that it's, you know, this equitable, everybody makes the same, you know, that's true for the serfs.
That's not true for Stalin or Khrushchev or the mayor of Leningrad.
They're all very wealthy people, as well as in China.
I mean, the amount of corruption within the Red Chinese Party is almost impossible for Americans other than the Bidens to really understand.
That would be the level.
The rule of the day in the Red Chinese Party, as opposed to, I hope, an exception.
I hope we don't have too many senators and presidents that have taken millions and millions from China.
Yeah, I hope you're right.
I hope.
God, please.
Please.
I don't have evidence that they do, but I didn't.
I'm lucky I'm alive after what I got on Biden.
What about McConnell, for example?
Let's stick with Biden.
I do get a little nervous about McConnell and the father-in-law, who was a Taiwanese who somehow is beloved by the red Chinese government.
I didn't think the red Chinese were in love with the Taiwanese unless they made some kind of concession to some kind, but who knows.
So, Speaker, let's Yeah, that's a good topic.
What do you think?
I'm going to have Ted give us a little benefit of his.
Did a little research on this today.
I heard him on the phone.
He was pumping people.
He was pumping people today.
He was doing that in the elevator.
Pumping people for information.
He was trying to get leaks.
He was working on leaks as the principal in offices in Washington.
Now I'm seeing how all the stuff got out.
But go ahead, come on.
Tell us what you got, Teddy.
So, of course, everyone's aware of the ongoing fight for the speak, for the gavel, I guess we'll call it.
Oh, where?
Aren't we embarrassed by it?
So, Jim Jordan, of course, lost the vote, a second vote today.
They're working now on... What, he went down by one vote?
He went down.
So the first vote he lost by 20.
Second vote, I believe, wasn't 21?
Yeah, I think so.
I think it was 21, so an additional vote.
I think I did that to be symbolic.
Well, and here's something I'm hearing now, which is not good news for Jim Jordan, and I think we're all on the record in this room wanting to see Jim Jordan name speaker, so I say this with that in mind.
We all here supported Jim Jordan for speaker.
I'm now being told there is a chance That the number will continue to go up and that Jim Jordan never had the votes and that they are almost some that some members of what we'll call the establishment are embarrassing him by having the number increase over time to show that he's losing support.
Now that's, um, now that would be, uh, some petty, petty stuff.
That's gonna leave, that's gonna leave.
But that could be, I could see it, I could see that being the case, right?
This is so ridiculous.
I mean, he happens to be one of the most popular people in our party.
Yeah, that's right.
If you look at a poll, he's one of the most popular people.
I mean, there are very few congressmen that have his Popularity and appeal.
Largely because of his fierce loyalty, I would say, to justice.
Not just to Donald Trump.
He had the same reaction, and so did, you know, maybe 20 of them, that I had to injustice.
My friends who are on the other side, who used to be my friends and say, and they love to lead to the newspaper, that I've changed.
I haven't changed at all.
Not one bit.
They've changed.
Right?
They've lost their sense of justice.
They've lost their sense of righteous indignation when an innocent man is charged with a crime.
Who could even argue that if you look at what's going on?
Well, they do.
They become sick.
I mean, they've gotten into this Trump derangement syndrome.
I mean, I see it in the cases that I have with the judges.
You can see it in their eyes.
I mean, they can't even think logically any longer.
They just look for the things that can be twisted around against you or against Trump instead of the bigger thing that's presented to them that indicates that this isn't a crime or this is ridiculous that we're even arguing about this.
So here's what I wanted to tell people.
There's a great article in The Post, and The Post is getting a lot of free attention from me today.
Yeah.
The Times and Post is getting a lot of free attention.
Yeah, we gotta hit them up.
But if you go to page 13, I think it is, of The Post today, or you get it online, there's a great little article which says, Green Chew Deal.
This is about the veggies part.
Eat veggies first.
Your parents weren't into something when they told you to eat your veggies first.
This is written by Alexandra Klausner.
Congratulations, Alexandra.
This is a very useful article.
The practice of eating veggies first is called meal sequencing.
I do it.
Okay.
And according to Alabama dietician Carolyn Williams, veggies can act like weight loss drugs that signal to the body that it's full.
You could almost say your vegetables are like your own small form of ozempic, Williams told the Daily Mail.
Now, ozempic is quite controversial because of a lot of side effects.
They increased that GLP-1, and that's part of what slows digestion and slows gastric emptying, she added.
When you slow... When you slow... When you slow gastric emptying, your carbohydrates aren't going to be digested quite as quickly.
Well, basically it says it is fabulous for reducing the appetite, but then it goes on to tell you all of the Benefits that you get from it, which makes the point that I make when I talk to you about this, which is, you know, there are so many supplements that people take to have this vitamin, and that vitamin, and this vitamin, that vitamin.
If you ate, you know, large amounts of vegetables and fruits, you would get all those.
That's right.
That's what this is giving you, because this is large amounts of fruit that have been condensed to And vegetables.
And this is the vegetable part, but you could make the same argument.
Veggies high in fiber include green peas, broccoli, turnip greens, Brussels sprouts, potato with skin.
You want to eat the skin of the potato.
I've always, I love the skin of the potato.
I don't know why people don't eat the skin of the potato.
And cauliflower, just to name a few.
Vitamin B is rich in the potato skin because it's in dirt.
Dirt!
Vitamin B comes from the soil, and when things are cleansed, they become void of vitamin B. So instead of Ozempic, eat your veggies and get your balance in nature.
How about that?
Can I say one thing about Jordan?
One thing.
That's not controversial or anything.
I think that... The country of Jordan?
No, uh, Jim Jordan.
Oh, I was actually wondering the same thing!
Country of Jordan with what's going on in the Middle East, or Speaker Jordan.
Yeah, Jim Jordan.
It's interesting though, Jordan.
I had a Biden moment.
No, they're both in the news.
Jim Jordan, if he does not make it into the Speakership, to me, it is almost a demonstration of a uniparty.
No?
It demonstrates that there's a uniparty.
There is no fair Democrat-Republican battle going on over issues.
It is a uniparty.
What does that mean, a uniparty?
It means they're all in the same... Oh, I mean each person's out for themselves.
Or they're all mixed into the same corruption.
The corruption... Permanent Washington political class.
A uniparty meaning, one, that there's no real difference between Republicans and Democrats in Washington.
People make this argument on why Trump won.
He did get 200 votes.
And McCarthy, you know, had a solid 200 votes also.
He had a scratch for the rest.
But what Ted was saying is... And the fact is, let me play it out a little.
If we had won, if we had won half of what we thought we were going to win in the last election, this would not be a problem.
Because the people that weren't elected are the people that would have voted for Jordan.
In fact, if Everybody knows he doesn't have.
I always thought if, with a big landslide, big red wave, I thought McCarthy was gone.
They would have wanted a more MAGA speaker.
Bingo!
And Jordan would have been, you know, right at the top of the list.
That's a very good point.
They'd want their own speaker, you know, because they took over the house.
But I mean, the people, the The fact that there was only four instead.
At some points, there were thoughts that it might even be as high as 30 or 40 or 50.
Bingo.
Right?
Remember?
And you're right, Mayor.
At 30 or 40, this would not be a problem.
But I think the best thing for McCarthy might have been, at the time anyway, winning a tight race.
Because like you said, if they won by 40, 50 seats, they're all going to want maybe their own person.
He might have made it, but he would have had a hard time.
Yeah.
Where just winning by three or four, he goes to the conference, he tells, look guys, we just snuck it out.
Well, you just made it though.
And then he went through 15 votes.
And part of this is nobody's emerged.
So you're trying, I mean, I don't know, I don't know if Jordan is finished.
It's very hard to beat somebody without somebody.
Are they just going to leave McHenry in it?
Is that the idea?
So they want to give him more powers, right?
They want to give McHenry, they want to give him, I guess, powers that would allow them to conduct what they consider regular business.
So I'm guessing there's certain things now that are being held up by not having a speaker that they could, that they want to get doing, uh, get back to doing.
So they, they, Uh, they temporarily empower McHenry, but others and specifically in the Jordan camp, his top, uh, his team, you could say, they don't like that idea because, and I don't blame them from their perspective, right?
That, that to them would signal, uh, that would take away the sense of urgency.
They're trying to, they're trying to, uh, benefit from the sense of urgency, right?
Like, guys, we got to do this, right?
They benefit from that right now because he's the guy.
If they empower McHenry, then that takes away that argument, right?
Well, I meant they'd go permanently with McHenry.
Oh, exactly, exactly.
And that's the other concern, that it would then lead... It's basically, you know, Jordan's people know if they go that route, it's lights out for Jordan.
It may already be lights out.
Once you get that gavel, it's going to be hard to give it up, take it, get it away.
Well, especially if they get the rules changed, which is what some are looking to do.
They want to change the rules so they can't do what they did to McCarthy, right?
They want to end that.
But the Washington swamp definitely sees Jordan as kryptonite to their cause, just like they see Trump as kryptonite to their cause.
Yeah, yeah, he's too Trump.
Yeah.
Trump endorsed him.
Which means he's too much the candidate of the deporables.
They want to hold on to that underhanded dealing.
Us.
Exactly.
They want, you know, John Boehner.
You have, you have, you have the, um, you've got the, you've got the, The whole movement, the MAGA movement, which are people who have felt excluded, that Trump has brought in.
And they very, very strongly support Trump, and they very strongly support Jim.
It's the establishment Republicans, not all of them, because about half of them have switched.
But the half that haven't switched, you've got a problem with them.
And you can see Pence going back to that now.
You know, he's become a...
He's become like almost a rhino, you know, it's amazing.
It's really amazing.
And the media too.
Internationalist, an internationalist.
I don't mean on domestic conservative issues, I'm talking about the general conservative issues.
They're all cowards!
I don't know about that, but... I will say, look, and...
Okay, so you brought up Pence.
They sure don't represent the little man, that's for sure, the little woman.
But it reminded me of an old boss who I do still have respect for, Congressman Greg Pence, Mike's brother, and I wanted to see where the congressman went, and he voted for Jim Jordan on the first post.
I'm not surprised by that, so I will say I have nothing but good things to say about a former boss of mine, Greg Pence.
So in Washington, Mayor, I tell people, I'm comms director to Pence.
You know, hey, leave it up for interpretation.
Whoa, big shot.
Vice President Sky here, right?
Yeah.
So is Biden back yet?
So, uh, Rob was, uh, Rob, you were looking at Air Force One there.
Not that they give us the live location, but it looks like he's on his way back, Mayor.
He's on his way back.
Quite the short trip.
You think he's going to remember he was there?
Mayor!
Mayor!
The president goes, you know, travels the world to go meet with some foreign leaders.
They all canceled, but one!
That's one way to look at it, right?
They all canceled except for Bibi.
Imagine if you asked him, what did he say?
When you were there, what did you say?
I wonder if he remembers that.
Oh, is he addressing the nation?
Don't.
Not today, okay.
But that would be a great question.
I'd love to ask him.
Don't, don't, don't.
Don't, don't, don't.
And then Peli has to come in and tell them what the don't is.
But in any event, we'll call it a night because we're gonna be back tomorrow night.
At eight o'clock we'll be back at three tomorrow afternoon on wabcradio.com all over the country you can get it on wabcradio.com at three and then we'll be back here eight tomorrow night and we'll see we'll see where things go i mean a lot's gonna happen between now and then particularly what what um What the result, we'll find out in terms of action, what the result of the Netanyahu-Biden meeting was.
Did Biden try to temper Netanyahu's response?
That's what a lot of people think.
In fact, some people think he would have even threatened him, but I can't see him threatening.
I mean, he only does that when he tries to do that hero pathology, you know, that he has.
I know him, and he's not a tough guy, really.
He would never say to your face the stuff that he pretends that he says, you know, when he gets up there and he acts like... Even the way he did the bribe with Poroshenko wasn't like, you're gonna pay me!
It was more on the phone, like pleading with him on the phone.
I mean, eventually they'll put those tapes out and it'll bury him completely.
And he's on the phone.
He did it on the phone.
He did it on four telephone conversations between about, um, between about, uh, uh, February of 20, February 2nd of 2020 to about February 15th, 16.
There were four long conversations of which, um, we have partial transcripts.
But do you really want the whole transcript?
I mean, it lays out... It's like a... When do those get out?
After he's out of office?
Who knows?
They should be out already.
I mean, parts of them have been leaked.
Where he approves the new Attorney General.
No one makes anything of that, but that's really... I mean, imagine approving the new Attorney General of another country.
Yeah, he's taking precedent over their politics.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Poroshenko, before he names him, calls him and says, you know, Lukashenko's the guy we're gonna pick.
And he says, yeah, that's good there.
That'll work.
That'll work what?
To fix the case.
Right.
Oh, well, you know what we're going to say?
We're going to say a prayer, right?
We're going to say a little prayer right now.
We're going to close.
We're going to just close down for about five, 10 seconds.
Say a little prayer for the people in Israel, for all the people that are in peril and for the people of the United States.
Then we're going to say, thank God.
May us Americans.
Americans.
God bless America.
God bless America.
Peace.
America was created at a time of great turmoil, tremendous disagreements, anger, hatred, It was a book written in 1776 that guided much of the discipline of thinking that brought to us the discovery of our freedoms, of our God-given freedoms.
It was Thomas Paine's Common Sense, written in 1776, one of the first American bestsellers, in which Thomas Paine explained, by rational principles, the reason why these small colonies felt the necessity to separate From the Kingdom of Great Britain and the King of England.
He explained their inherent desire for liberty, for freedom, freedom of religion, freedom of speech, the ability to select the people who govern them.
And he explained it in ways that were understandable to all the people, not just the elite.
Because the desire for freedom is universal.
The desire for freedom adheres in the human mind and it is part of the human soul.
This is exactly the time we should consult our history.
Look at what we've done in the past and see if we can't use it to help us now.
We understand that our founders created the greatest country in the history of the world.
The greatest democracy, the freest country.
A country that has taken more people out of poverty than any country ever.
All of us are so fortunate to be Americans.
But a great deal of the reason for America's constant ability to self-improve is because we're able to reason.
We're able to talk.
We're able to analyze.
We are able to apply our God-given common sense.
So let's do it.
