America's Mayor Live, live from New York.
And the reality is, we're going to go, immediately, we are going to go to the Middle East, because we're going to describe what's going on there, and We're going to try to describe the chances they have of accomplishing their objective, meaning the chances that the Israeli Defense Force has of wiping out a great thing to do for Israel and save Israel.
It would be a great thing to do for humanity, because Hamas is a terror to humanity.
You wouldn't know it by the idiot, moronic, And sometimes really dangerous and evil people that protest in their favor.
It's hard to believe, hard to describe, hard to even understand all these people who protest for Hamas and for Palestine when they're Their actions and their behavior and the war they conducted is a war, if it were done by anyone else to any other people, they'd be before the world court by now.
People have been tried for war crimes that are far less than what Hamas did in one day in Israel on October 7th.
Today, on yesterday and today, As time, you know, now has proceeded, some of the atrocities are being explained, you know, as delicately as they can, but importantly they have to be known to humanity.
People beheaded, raped, raped on mass.
I mean, it's almost impossible to understand.
Rape is part of war?
Well, I mean, rape is part of war, meaning it happens occasionally, or the soldiers go into a village and they rape some women.
Horrible thing to do, fine, but it's almost as if this was a weaponization.
Rape is pretty weaponized anyway, but this is like a weaponization.
Rape was part of the attack, let's put it that way.
It wasn't collateral.
Part of this attack was Number one, they were going after purely civilians.
The maps that were found, the plans that were found, much of which comes right from Iran.
Right from the Iranian Guard.
And, you know, what used to be the Quds Force.
The plan was, let's go hit southern Israel, right across the border from Gaza.
And let's go after the kibbutz.
And again, let me explain what a kibbutz is.
A kibbutz is a residential establishment.
It's like a commune.
I think we would think of it as a commune.
It was a very, very popular thing at the turn of the century, in the 1920s.
It is socialist and even communist in derivation.
The theory doesn't necessarily have to be that way.
The theory of many of the communes in the United States and of the communes in Europe and the kibbutz, which is what they're called in Israel, is that the people will live and everybody will share.
Everybody will have the same income, everybody will be equal, they'll be a village elder or they'll have some kind of a structure, a governmental structure.
So it was an experiment in early socialism, and it helped Israel, in a way, to deal with what was very, very difficult land that they were given.
Israel was not given a paradise.
They were given raw, unused, never farmed, never made use of empty deserts.
It didn't belong to anybody.
There were no Palestinians.
Let me quote Arafat, probably one of the men I hate the most in the whole world, who's now, thank goodness, not part of the world, and I hope he's in the right place.
But he said, I guess I'm the closest thing, he said about himself, to a Palestinian.
I come from Egypt, which means there's no Palestine.
And I made up Palestine.
Palestinian.
Now, you could argue that Palestine was a subdivision, a small part of this land, possibly historically connected to the Philistines at the time of Christ and before and after the time of Caesar.
And the reason we say possibly connect to them because the Philistines were known to occupy this part here of Israel.
This is a blow up of this Gaza.
This is the main part of Israel.
The southern part of Israel.
And I think it is called the southern part of Israel because below this, there really isn't an awful lot used until you get to the resorts at the really southern part of Israel.
This is really the mid, geographically the mid part of it.
But in any event, it's called the southern part of Israel.
And look what Israel gave them!
Israel gave them beach property!
Israel occupied this.
They won it in the war.
It was occupied before by Egypt, not by Palestine.
Occupied by Egypt.
They won from Egypt.
They not only won from Egypt, they won all of the Sinai from Egypt.
But they had the whole damn continent going right up to the border.
Israel gave up.
At the end of that war, Israel gave up probably Twice as much land as the State of Israel in order to acquire Egypt.
And they conquered this, kept it, and then eventually put it aside for the Palestinian Authority.
And then it got controlled by Hamas, which is an offshoot of the Muslim Brotherhood and a pure out-and-out murderous group of animals.
And now when they enter this part of Israel, southern Israel, and attack the kibbutzim here and kill civilians.
Men, not mostly, women, children, mostly.
Elderly people, young people.
And then desecrations of their bodies.
And then they took numerous hostages of which they have still to return 137.
We know 7, 8, 9, 10 are dead.
Bodies have not been returned by Hamas because they are animals.
Not really human in this Western sense.
They don't have humanitarian values.
Please understand that humanitarian values emerge from Western civilization.
The humanities, when they were taught in school, where do they emerge?
They emerge from Greek philosophy.
They don't come from the desert, from the barren desert.
Israel has now resumed the war.
They have, not completely, but pretty completely, gotten control of northern Gaza, which is where the major military installations were.
They have been telling people to go south for reasons of safety.
They put up a checkpoint in here, about right here.
And the people have gone down into this area here.
They have now supplied them with a week's worth As to where the attacks are going to take place and where to be safe.
Not only that, they've provided actually an app if people have cell phones that they can go to to find safety.
Has anybody ever done this in the history of war?
To reduce civilian casualties?
You ever heard of that before?
They have an actual application for your cell phone or computer that you can go to and you can go on it and you can see where south of Gaza you're going to be safe and where you're not going to be safe.
And I'm going to show you where.
This is the key target called Khan Unit.
This is the region, this is the city.
This is where from their intelligence most of the military activity, the tunnels, and so forth are located and it's right now under attack by Israeli ground forces.
I mean they got in there as soon as it was over and they've hit it already.
They've bombed it and now the ground forces are attacking it and taking control of it because they believe when they get control of it they're not going to get control of al-Hammas, they're going to get control like they did up in up in Gaza City and then the hospital got control of the command center there.
And they're telling people, get the hell out of Conyus.
If you know what's good for you, get out of there.
And then they're giving them alternatives to go to in the southern part of Gaza.
I want to take a look over here, Ted.
part of Gaza.
I want to take a look over here, Ted.
I've kind of put on little circles here, where the two main areas are, if we can show them.
Worth it.
That's Gaza City.
That's where the original first war took place.
The first attack.
Israel got control of that.
They drove people down to the south.
And now they've told people that's the biggest circle than it should be.
I made it too big.
But this is the area that would be considered con unis.
Inside that purple is the danger area, and this is the safe area, which is near the Egyptian border.
And there's the border right there.
In fact, I say the Egyptian border, unlike dumb, stupid America.
I mean, dumb, stupid Biden, I should say, not America.
You don't get in.
There's no open border in Egypt.
You don't get into Egypt like you do The Texas border, and the Arizona border, and the California border.
In fact, on that big, big border that used to be, on the big border that used to be right here, we'll go back over here, this big border right here, 1.7 miles.
When I say big border, it's really not that big a border.
There's only one place to get in.
It's over here.
It's called Rafa.
Oh yeah.
And it is tightly controlled by the Egyptians.
Because the Egyptians don't want a damn thing to do with the Palestinians.
They have refused for several generations to take in Palestinians.
There are a lot of Palestinian refugees.
You're not going to find a single one in Egypt.
A lot of Palestinians are ethnically Egyptian, as was Arafat.
They're still not taking Palestinians.
You know why?
Because Hamas, the derivation of Hamas, is the Muslim Brotherhood.
The Muslim Brotherhood is the group that overthrew the Egyptian government with the connivance of Prince Obama, and then was overthrown by the army.
And non-terrorists are now in control of Egypt.
But for a while, the Muslim Brotherhood terrorists And you're not going to tell me without the help of Obama, certainly the silent assent of Obama took over Egypt for a period of time and then were thrown out.
And they're not letting Hamas in so that the Muslim Brotherhood can get control of Egypt again.
Similarly, when you go over toward the West Bank, they're not going to let them in Jordan again.
Last time they were there, they tried to kill the King of Jordan and take it over.
So you think they're going to let him there?
Oh, and they won't let him in, uh, Saudi Arabia.
In fact, whether it's true or not, it is alleged that in Saudi Arabia, if you get, uh, if you get caught, like if you did a protest in Saudi Arabia, in favor, in favor of the Palestinians, they might put you in jail.
Not in America, but there they might put you in jail.
The Saudi Arabians give verbal support to the Palestinians and that's it.
That is it.
And money comes from Joe Biden and Prince Obama.
We support Hamas and Iran.
We have a partnership with Iran that would like to destroy us.
Because those two presidents, Obama and Biden, were the first two in our history that really did not have a loyalty to the United States of America, or at least they show the loyalty in a very strange way.
They do things that dramatically hurt the United States and are very, very beneficial to the enemies of the United States.
So right now, As of earlier today, the scorecard if you are what was in the ground operation is that, well, they probably displaced about 80% of the people in Palestine.
On Saturday, they began the extensive attack of Khan Yunus, which had become a hub for refugees and wounded that were moved out.
They destroyed 500 of, they believe, 800 existing tunnels.
That was actually in northern Gaza, mostly.
So that's more than half the tunnels they believe they have destroyed.
They are getting now more sophisticated bombs, bunker-busting bombs from the United States.
Kind of a little late, but you know, that's typical of Biden, who doesn't really seem to want them to win this war.
And he doesn't really do even a good job when he wants countries to win wars, like Ukraine.
I mean, he wants Ukraine to win that war.
But then doesn't give them what they need to win?
I tell you, with a friend like Biden, he might be better off with an enemy.
You know?
off with an enemy you know what do you think and Israel has now recalled its
negotiating team from Qatar because there's nothing to negotiate about the
the Hamas will not give back the remaining hostages.
They won't even return the bodies of the people that they killed.
They went through a horrible situation with Kiefer Bibas.
He was the young nine-month-old that was killed and they Pretended, created a phony story that he was bombed by Israelis, offered no proof of it, but then briefed his father, convinced his father of it, and his father condemned Bibi, which must have really hurt.
There's no proof of any kind.
And they offer no proof of any kind that he was hit by friendly fire.
And they had moved him around like a pawn.
Oh, for about three weeks, they were playing games with, he's with this group, he's with that group, because he was the youngest hostage.
They now say he's dead.
Now, it may be that he's not.
There are people that believe that that's also disinformation and that he's with a terrorist group That is not willing to give them up.
Hamas claims that some of the hostages are with terrorist groups that are not willing to give them up.
Probably not true.
It's hard to believe that Hamas doesn't have control over those groups or wouldn't be able to just kill them all if they wanted to.
We have We have confirmed that the Israelis were able to kill Hatam Kuhajari, who was basically the head of their air force.
And so whenever you can take out these people that are the heads of things, not like the United States or maybe even China and Russia and the more developed countries, they don't have like an endless number of pilots with expertise.
I mean, I really don't think if we were shooting off rockets, a quarter of them would go off in the United States before they left.
I don't think any of them would go off in the United States before they left.
And I don't know of any that went off in Israel before they left.
But 25% of the rockets that were shot out of Gaza blew up in Gaza, which will give you an idea of we're not really dealing with... Oh, I don't know how to say it without being nasty.
Backward animals.
Yeah.
I mean, that may be the best thing to say.
Backward animals.
The deal broke down because they claimed that they couldn't get their hands on the rest of the hostages, which the Israelis, I believe, are not true.
And Israel has spent at least five days in detailed instructions to southern Gaza on where to go if you want to live.
And apparently, they believe that they have gotten better compliance with that than they got in the North.
It may be that they're being taken more seriously now.
Could be, right?
I mean, this has been going on for a while, and at first, if the enemy tells you, go here and you won't be attacked, you might not do it, right?
But after a couple of weeks now of experience where If you go where the Israelis tell you, you're not going to be attacked.
And if you try to go there, your own people will kill you in the back.
Maybe there's a little more trust in this information that's being given.
Now, at the same time, there's another war going on.
And it's a war.
Because we're being attacked.
We're being attacked over and over again.
And we're being attacked.
Let's get all the bull out of the way.
All the lying out of the way.
All the Biden crap out of the way.
We're being attacked by Iran.
When you say the hoodies attacked us, the hoodies wouldn't even know where we were.
Iran is attacking us.
They were directed completely by Soleimani and now they're directed by his successor.
They're completely under the control of Iran, like Hezbollah is, and Hamas only recently.
But the other two are basically created by Iran.
And at times, it is absolutely sure if it's a manned aircraft, you're going to probably have an Iranian pilot in it.
And you're certainly going to have an Iranian down on the ground, you know, basically telling you what to do.
So let's see if we can give you a little sense of that.
of what's going on there, because when I say there's a war going on, what I'm telling you is there have been a lot of attacks.
So how about that many?
This is as of this morning.
If you take a look, you'll see.
Do I have that lined up correctly, Ted?
Okay, so 75 attacks.
I think it's up to 82 now, but there were 75 at the time that this took place.
These attacks are taking place actually in Iraq and in Syria, where we have one place 1,500, another place 900 that we admit to soldiers.
And we have bases there, and they are being attacked on a fairly consistent basis.
We no longer give numbers for injuries, and we also lie.
At one time, we told the truth about the fact that an American consultant was killed.
Now, we don't include it in the statistics.
But the belief probably is, in the 75 attacks, about 50 Americans have been injured, about half of them seriously.
Seriously, meaning one dead, and about 24 or 25 with a traumatic brain injury.
Uh, some much more serious than others, but very, very tightly kept, uh, because we're not doing much about it.
We've have done, um, maybe it's hard to tell again because they keep it under control because the results are so ridiculously silly.
Um, I would say three, four counterattacks, maybe five.
The three or four counterattacks go out of their way not to hit people.
So we've done a good job of hitting empty ammunition dumps and possibly, you know, when we really get lucky, an ammunition dump.
We probably killed a few people too, but nobody significant, nobody that's going to really matter.
And life doesn't, you know, you'd really have to take out like we did in, like we did with the Hamas, one of their leaders, to have an impact on them.
So in essence, one could say we almost are not having, from the point of view of the Ayatollah, we're not responding.
This is like when Ben Laden hit the USS Cole, killed American sailors, attacked an American vessel of war, which is an act of war.
He may have even declared war against us at the time.
And Clinton hit an empty field.
And there is no doubt in anybody that wants to be objective's mind that that helped to create in Ben Laden the sense that we were afraid of major war and that he could take real advantage of us, hence September 11th.
Are we building that again?
You're damn right we are.
And in fact, Clinton probably looked like Patton in comparison to Biden.
We got real, real, we got real, real problems.
And when we come back, we're going to try to discuss how we get around those problems and get through them because we got a year to go with this demented in the White House and we got to get through it.
So we'll be back in a minute.
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.
Sean is survived by his wife, Amber, who gave birth to their second daughter three months after his death.
Tunnel to Towers paid the mortgage on the family home for Amber and their two daughters.

This is Rudy Giuliani back with America's Mayor Live.
I mean, yesterday, yesterday was a very, very busy day for the United States military, particularly in the Red Sea.
One of the major avenues of attack here are, as I said, the Houthis.
And where are they located?
Well, they're located in Yemen.
So Yemen is below Saudi Arabia.
It's a bit of, I mean, it's a bit of a trip.
You know, it's like going from Washington to New York.
I mean, none of these places are far apart.
And you really come up the Red Sea, and that's going to bring you right to Israel.
And a couple of weeks, about a week or two ago, the USS Kearney knocked out four drones that they believe were on their way to do an attack on Israel to help Hamas.
And now the Yemenis, who like the Somalis love to, you know, steal ships, are hitting commercial vessels.
I think yesterday they hit three or four with drones.
One was British, the other, they haven't revealed the nationality of the others.
And they, I think, attempted to hit the USS Kearney.
They weren't successful.
The USS Kearney, however, was successful in taking down about four of their drones.
And no doubt they were Yemen.
And no doubt they were Houthis because they took credit for it.
And no doubt that they're directed by Iran.
And there's no doubt we'll do nothing to Iran for it.
Because Biden, I mean, Iran comes second, I think.
It's, you know, it's like Trump is America first, Biden is China first.
And then he, I think right now he's Iran's second, and he's Palestine and Hamas third.
Now there are other countries too.
But you have to find out from Hunter how much they gave him to figure out where they fit.
But the one that doesn't exist on that list is the U.S., and it hasn't for a long time.
Because when you want to overthrow, really, the government of the U.S., the way it's constituted, and make us a one world under Soros and Klaus Schwab and Prince Obama, you don't have room for, you know, The ridiculous form of government we have, a constitutional democracy and republic.
I mean, it only worked for a couple of centuries for the longest reigning elected democracy, republican form of government in the history of the universe.
But they know better.
Marxism is clearly much, much better.
It allows you to kill more people with abandon, and he sure has done that.
He's gotten all kinds of people killed, Biden has.
And you can be a multi-millionaire or billionaire, nobody bothers you.
All these communist countries are run by top communists who are multi-billionaires and millionaires and steal money the way Biden does.
So he'd be very comfortable.
He'd be very comfortable with it.
Now, these attacks yesterday were significant and there were a lot of them.
The Unity Explorer was hit.
Number 9 was hit.
Several were shot at.
a ship belonging to a British company owned by Danny Unger, the son of Israeli shipping
magnate Rami Unger, was hit.
Before last week's attack, the Karni had actually downed 15 drones and four cruise missiles
in the Red Sea fired from Yemen.
So, I mean, they're very active!
And they also, last week, not reported very extensively, the Houthis fired at and missed the USS Mason.
Why the hell aren't we bombing them?
They are firing on an American ship with American men and women aboard that are a member of our military.
And when you don't fire on them, they keep doing it.
What is he waiting until a ship gets blown up?
And he can go greet them when they come home and look at his watch?
Because he's a horrible person?
I mean, it's just going to happen.
They shot two ballistic missiles at the USS Mason.
Now lucky they can't shoot.
Nobody ever claimed these were the brightest bulbs in the world.
Right?
I mean, they, they, uh, one time they attacked Israel by surprise, all of them, all of them.
They all came down on Israel by surprise and Israel defeated them in seven days.
And that's how Israel got the land it has.
I wouldn't give it up.
I was a kid then.
And I said, I'd be damned if I gave that up, if they came and tried to take it away from me or my people.
You ain't getting that back, baby.
I won it from you fair and square in a shooting war.
And as someone pointed out today, nobody ever let Israel finish the war.
Maybe if you'd let Israel finish the war, there's an end.
It'd stop.
Israel was ready to take the Suez Canal.
It would have been great if we had the Suez Canal.
Where's Teddy Roosevelt when you need him?
You think Teddy Roosevelt would have turned down the Suez Canal?
I don't think so.
You make a lot of... I don't think... I shouldn't say this.
I was about to cause trouble.
Mayor, isn't Teddy Roosevelt racist according to the left?
Teddy Roosevelt's father got a medal fighting in the Civil War.
Teddy Roosevelt's relatives died trying to free black people.
Teddy Roosevelt was, was about as, as anti-slavery and pro, no, Teddy Roosevelt was hardly a racist.
Teddy Roosevelt was a man of his time.
Uh, and he was, he was all over, lived all over, all over the world.
No, there's never been any suggestion that Teddy Roosevelt, they took the statue down because When they built his statue, his monumental statue, they had two young men that were standing there sort of honoring him.
And one was a Native American and the other was an African American.
Theoretically, because of all that he did for them.
And the theory was they were in a subservient position.
And therefore, not that he ever had slaves, his family was Against, fought against slavery!
Now, those people could have been there, not in a subservient position, but in an honorary position.
Like, they honored him.
I would imagine, you know, I would imagine that, well, maybe not.
Who knows?
I was going to say, I would imagine that black people appreciated Abraham Lincoln.
I hope.
I mean, he did, he did fight a war.
And he got killed because of it.
I mean, one would think that it could have been somebody else who wouldn't have done it.
If Douglass had won that, there wouldn't have been a civil war.
Probably it would have happened eventually, but much worse.
And who knows how?
Well, in any event, we got a war going on.
We have a two-way war going on with Israel and Hamas.
And we have a one-way war going on, Iran against the United States.
Iran hits us, tries to kill us.
We occasionally wake up and hit back, and we do the best we can not to harm anything.
And if we harm anything, it's not going to be Iranian.
It'll be one of these proxies.
If we kill people, it'll be some of these people that are expendable.
But like hell are we going to go deliver a message to the protagonist, the Ayatollah, and stick a bomb down his chimney.
Which might end the whole thing as it should.
And a couple of little attacks on Iran and that place will fall like crazy because unlike Palestine, the Iranian people are not happy with the Ayatollah.
Don't let anybody fool you.
The Palestinian people are extremely happy with Hamas.
In the sense, maybe they're not happy internally.
Although 75% of them support them.
On the West Bank and in Gaza.
But they get pretty close to unanimous on the following proposition, if they were going to tell the truth.
Suppose we asked, do you think all Jews should be killed?
What do you think the number of Palestinians saying yes would be?
How many of you think would say no?
I don't know.
I don't think you'd feel Madison Square Garden.
I haven't seen one.
I mean, I have seen some.
Not true.
In fact, I've interviewed a few who are appalled by their fellow citizens.
They certainly aren't a significant group.
They're not as significant as what you have going on in Iran, where millions of people have demonstrated against the Ayatollah.
Orchestrated the right way, that animal could be destroyed.
And thrown out.
And that would be critical.
Because that's at the core of almost all of these problems.
China and Russia would not be able to make the trouble they're making in the Middle East if they didn't have Iran that's right there on the spot.
Nor would they know how to utilize the religious issue, which at some point is going to become a collision, right?
So they are religious zealots.
It's the Islamic Republic of Iran.
They believe in God, right?
What's the first tenet of communism?
God is an opiate of the people.
No God.
Everybody's God.
You're God.
You're smarter than God.
God is made up because people are weak-minded and they don't need God.
Marx a couple of times, more in poetry than prose, would say, I'm God.
And then at various times he used to say he was Satan.
He used to get confused between the two.
I think the second one was the correct one.
75%.
Okay, here it is.
A November 14th survey found that 75% of the public, now this is very significant, in the West Bank and Gaza, not just in Gaza, but in the West Bank, supports the atrocities of October 7 and wants to eliminate Israel entirely.
Now, Biden and Blinken, who must really hate Jews, think that once this is done, this should be turned over to the Palestinian Authority.
The Palestinian Authority is the one that runs the West Bank, where the 75% exist, that want to eliminate Israel.
BB saying, ain't no way.
I'm going to, I'm going to have people controlling.
I'll be, I'll be worse off than I was before.
I'm going to have people controlling both those areas surrounding me where 75% of them want to eliminate me.
Why did you just tell me you want to eliminate me instead of, you know, messing around with me?
The proposal is called, um, It's called Peace to Prosperity, a vision to improve the lives of the Palestinian and Israeli people.
And this actually got pushed in the Trump administration, too.
To me, a two-state solution has been our problem from the very, very beginning.
And we've been on this two-state solution since Jim Baker.
There was no two-state solution under Ronald Reagan because Ronald Reagan was too smart for it.
You cannot have a two-state solution when one state wants to destroy the other.
It doesn't work.
We couldn't put two states next to each other.
If we had separated North Carolina and South Carolina, and North Carolina had vowed to destroy South Carolina and believed that it would be much better if all South Carolinians were dead, it just wouldn't have worked, guys.
You know?
Why are you so stupid?
Because you're communist.
And this is all meant to destroy the United States.
May, I actually watched an interview today on YouTube about this extremist.
He was an extremist imam, not anymore.
He was telling, when he was an extremist, he was telling his followers to vote left because Left, the left is stupid.
And he, he wanted, he wanted them to vote for them because they believed in their views and this and that.
And then he said he didn't want to vote for conservatives because you know, conservatives would actually do something against the extremism.
So when he was, when he was pushing his followers, tell him all vote, all Democrat, liberal, whatever.
And he was in the United States because he knew that's, that's what it would be.
I mean, right now, the reason I say this is going to explode is at some point.
Whoever gets the upper hand here, the Islamics or the communists, the communists are not going to tolerate this belief in God.
And the Islamic extremists are not going to tolerate this atheism and the immorality and the unbelievable immorality of communism.
I mean, look at Russia, Russia is now passing a law, I think, criminalizing transsexuality.
I think something about transsexuals can't adopt children or something, something like that.
I got to look.
They also have prohibited any gay and lesbian marches, protests.
Yeah.
I got to look it up.
I mean, that's good.
I mean, it's going to, that will, at some point that will explode.
So now we're going to take a short break.
And when we come back, we're going to take a look at how the new speaker of the house is adjusting and the problem that he has with How do you come up with the money for all these wars that we are involved in, conducting, financing?
Let's say financing.

Rudy Giuliani back with America's Mayor live, as you can see, with the wonderful Dr. Maria, who is here to discuss some of these issues.
I thought even before the commercial I might take, I'm getting a little tired.
Doctor, would you recommend taking my veggies and my Yeah, it's good.
Balance of Nature is really good.
Tell them what to do.
So they support me.
You know, it's really important that we support each other.
But I have to tell you, Mayor Giuliani would not promote any program he doesn't believe in.
We're very selective.
We refuse a lot of people who want to have a commercial on Rudy's show, but he won't do it.
But Balance of Nature, very good for you.
Fruits and vegetables.
I'm going to reach in front of you, doctor.
Oh, sorry.
Although I'd like him to quit Diet Coke.
Full of chemicals.
But anyways, it is good.
Use code Rudy.
Any of our products here on America's Mayor Live.
Including MyPillow.com.
Some great sales for Christmas.
Mike Lindell, a good man.
Good man.
And a good product.
Used a lot of his own money to stand up for the citizens who witnessed fraud during the 2020 election.
And they're good, good products.
Code Rudy.
MyPillow.com.
Okay.
Now, here's the issue.
And it's a really, I think, difficult one.
We both like the new speaker.
Yes.
Right?
We like Mike Johnson.
Yes.
And we're very impressed with what he's done and the way he expresses himself.
And Andrew met him yesterday and was very impressed with him.
We were annoyed that he didn't tell us about it, right?
But in any event, we had dinner with him and he was very impressed with the new speaker.
But here's the problem he has.
He's got this bill to support Israel, to support Ukraine, to support the border operation, and a couple of other things in it.
So he now says he's become a supporter of supporting Ukraine.
He originally had supported the original amount of money to Ukraine, and he voted against the future money to Ukraine because he didn't see any accountability in it.
But now he's in favor of allowing the money to go to Ukraine if Biden agrees to provisions for the border.
I think he's making a mistake.
I know he's trying to use a bargaining tool, right?
The whole thing, Washington, is supposed to be about negotiation between both parties.
But there comes a time where you have to stand up for what's right.
I don't think we should give one more cent to Ukraine, but that's a personal opinion.
I do feel very strongly about it.
So I understand what Speaker Johnson is trying to do.
Trying to say, okay, I'll give you this if you do this.
Here's what I worry about in what the White House is asking for border.
You and I would think, oh, he's asking for National Guard to be down there to shut it down.
No, he, meaning the White House, Biden, Mayorkas, they want more money.
To have more agents, not to stop the flow of illegal aliens.
Wow, that's true.
But to process more.
Already we saw Mayorkas on the news two days ago saying, why don't we give them all amnesty, the two million plus that have come into our country.
So they all can vote.
Well, we know there's terrorists.
We know there's cartels.
We know there's people who are indentured servants to the cartels.
And we know a lot of Chinese.
Sexual assaults.
And now the Chinese are coming in.
And all men.
We need Speaker Johnson to be very wary of anything the White House proposes for that southern border.
I also think he's making the wrong, if you're going to link, He's making the wrong link.
Yeah.
I don't think he should link Ukraine money with the border.
And for one reason that you just said, which is, this is a little like, you know, his negotiating with Xi, where Xi says, oh, I'll cut down on fentanyl, which he promised twice before and never did.
And then he gives him $30 billion with sanctions.
Well, Xi gets his 30 billion, 40 billion, even more, and we get nothing because he lies to us.
Now, there's no reason to believe this administration is going to do anything about the border.
They're going to say they are, but they're not going to do it.
No, their actions have, they don't care about you and I. They don't.
The legal provisions as they are right now from the crackdown on the border.
You don't need another law.
I mean, you can stop them all from coming in.
Yeah.
One of the things that he's talking about, I don't realize he has it, they want to say that if a person wants asylum and they come through another country, they've got to seek asylum in that country.
They can't come here.
Well, that's what Trump said.
You have to go to the first country that you feel safe.
That already exists.
It says here that they want to put it in the bill.
I thought they got rid of that, though, after Trump.
No, no, no, no.
That still exists.
That is still the law.
They don't follow it.
Yeah.
So if we pass it again, why will they follow it the second time we pass it?
I don't know.
So here's what it should be linked to, because there is a good linkage that exists.
And I am not totally against giving money to the Ukrainian war.
I'm against giving them money without control on it and without accountability for it.
I'd like to know, first of all, what happened to the first $130 billion?
How come we gave him that much money and they're still losing?
Homes, yachts, a nice Paris trip for Mrs. Zelensky.
Well, I don't know.
I don't know.
I mean, I do have my suspicions because I know that country better than most, and I know that it's impossible to have that kind of money hanging around.
You don't even have to have money hanging around.
You know, they were selling the arms we gave.
You think, oh, gee, if you give them cash, they'll keep that.
Uh-uh.
They'll take some of the arms away from their own people and go sell them to Iran.
Iran?
Whoever the hell they sell them to.
They'll convert whatever you give them into money because they're thieves.
It was before the invasion by Russia, the second most corrupt country in the world.
There's no reason to believe it suddenly became totally honest.
Well, I think actions speak louder than words and the American people have got to stop going by soundbites.
Look at the actions of Biden.
Look at the actions of Zelensky, right?
Zelensky is a dictator.
He said, there'll be no elections unless the U.S.
pays for it.
We're not going to pay for it.
He knows we weren't going to pay for it.
So therefore he suspends elections.
He's also against Christians.
So he's doing things against Christians.
And there was a third thing that he's doing that was very much like a dictator.
I can't recall it off the top of my head right now.
He's got a patron who's one of the crookedest men in Ukraine, Kolomoisky.
And nobody ever talks about Kolomoisky or explains where he is.
I'd like to know where he is because he was exiled from Ukraine because he's such a big crook.
He is the major money launderer in Ukraine.
He could tell you probably by memory where all the Biden offshore bank accounts are.
Probably personally laundered the Biden money.
Zelensky can tell you all the rest of the crimes that the Bidens and other Democrats committed there and probably has it recorded.
He also has a lot more pictures than I have and you know how incriminating the pictures are.
And there's no way that Joe can say no to him.
All he's got to say was, gee, remember the other pictures that Hunter took?
I'll put those out.
Or remember the other transaction nobody knows about?
Or gee, they only got one of the money laundering transactions, the one from Latvia.
What about the other 10?
It's just so... I mean, if he has the Latvian one, why the hell wouldn't he have the rest of them?
And we know there's a woman in Ukraine Who will give up to the FBI the laundered money, but the FBI, even knowing that she was at risk of being killed, never interviewed her.
To this day, as far as I know, they haven't interviewed her.
And so if she knows the burisma laundered money, The president knows all of it, plus he knows how much money his own president got.
You know, the Biden crime family, they laundered money and did deals of influence.
We all know about China.
We know even about Iran, right?
Iran, Romania, Kazakhstan, Russia.
I mean, there are a lot of them.
Made a fortune in Russia.
Yep.
The reality is Russia, China, Ukraine, here's what you can count on.
Their intelligence services have everything that Biden's ever did.
We have pieces of it.
They got the whole thing to jam them up.
They're not amateurs.
They're not fools.
When they all get upset that Trump said that Xi is very smart, it's wise to understand that your adversary is smart.
It's ridiculous to think that your adversary is going to make mistakes.
If they don't have everything, then they're not as good as we think they are, and we're going to defeat them pretty easily.
But they have everything.
And I happen to know that Ukraine has everything, because I've seen some of it.
And I've seen their files.
They wouldn't let me take them, but I got to see them.
I'm going to take some liberty here on your show, Mr. Mayor, to please, please, please, please write to the New York Bar Association and the ACLU about that judge Ergo Moron or whatever his name is.
This is a blatant abuse of power in Letitia James to run on, I'm just going to get Trump no matter what, because there is this Trump derangement syndrome, and use the taxpayer money and her influence to get this case in.
This civil case is the worst case I think I've ever seen.
I'm scared for my country now that the courts are corrupt, but let's make some complaints to the New York
Bar Association and the ACLU.
Flood them, flood them with letters, flood them with letters of the Washington DC judges,
especially the judge who has mishandled and mistreated the J6 peaceful protesters.
I have one of those judges in the civil case in which she found me liable, not based on
what I did, but because she says I didn't comply with discovery when in fact I turned
over the moon, everything I had, and the things that I didn't turn over, the FBI never returned
to me.
Go get it from the FBI!
But I've never heard of a judge finding you liable because you didn't comply with Discovery.
And when she knew that the FBI And by the way, the FBI raid on me turned out to be useless because a year and a half later they wrote a letter to the court.
to the grand jury saying there was no probable cause that I committed a crime.
So if there was no probable cause that I committed a crime, what was the probable cause for rating me?
Probable cause for rating me was to harass me because I represent Trump.
And the reason the judge is treating me this way is because I was Trump's lawyer.
This is a judge who has a history.
I'm not going to say her name.
This is a judge that has a history of putting January 6th defendants in jail for more than the bloodthirsty prosecutors want.
Now, that's got to tell you something.
That's got to tell you this woman's got a real spin on her head.
And I've been a lawyer too long to think I'm going to get a fair trial in the District of Columbia.
Am I a fool?
No, it's corrupt.
Thoroughly corrupt and run by radical activists.
It's ideologically corrupt.
Which is a shame.
In the United States, remember the statue of Lady Justice?
She's blind.
She's got the scales.
It shouldn't matter what your political beliefs are.
You're living in some kind of a never-never land if you think that a Republican can get a fair trial in the District of Columbia.
Maybe other places, but not the District of Columbia.
Mayor, thank you for having me on.
I know you're coming to an end of your show.
We are, we are.
I still have a few more things I have to cover, but we'll probably have to do that in America's Mayor Confidential.
I did want to talk over a little sports, but I have the boys here for that one.
If you stay tuned for that, you'll get our take on what's happening with the college football championship and is it fair or not.
and maybe we'll play our little commercial for...
Good night everybody.
...body is an amazing chemical laboratory.
When you give it the right chemistry, it functions the best.
Balance of Nature is the ultimate whole fruit and vegetable chemistry.
Get 35% off your first order by using discount code Rudy.
You're welcome.
I was going to show you a picture of my Christmas tree tonight,
but I'm going to show it to you tomorrow night, so you have something to look forward to.
And I'm working on my... This is our parting jingle.
Everybody has all that fancy music.
We have a parting jingle.
And I want you to keep watching very, very carefully what's going on in in the Middle East because I want to see when the Biden communists pull the plug on Bibi and he can no longer defend his country and get rid of Hamas because they have pretty much set it up.
So it's going to be very, very hard to eliminate.
I'm talking about Biden and Blinken.
They have pretty much said it's going to be pretty hard to eliminate Hamas with the rules that they have set down.
On the other hand, the Israeli Defense Force is more ingenious than anybody gives them credit for.
This idea of putting out a website with the places that are safe and to save the civilians when they were told by Biden and Blinken, you got to do more to protect the civilians, which is like saying you can't conduct the war because I couldn't think of anything more they could do to protect civilians than they did in northern Gaza.
I mean, their rate of killing civilians was nothing compared to what ours was in Afghanistan, in Iraq, and I imagine any other place or any other army.
So how do you do better?
Well, they're doing better.
So don't count them out.
I mean, look, they are fighting under penalty of extinction.
This is like England when it's back up against the wall.
And what did Churchill say?
You're not going to get England until you kill every single one of us.
Could be the situation in Israel.
God bless them.
What brave people.
And I think that comes from, always has, which is the reason they survived.
When so many, so many, so many very powerful forces have wanted to eliminate the Jewish people.
Hasn't worked.
Not going to work for these guys either.
God bless Israel.
God bless America.
Pray for both.
And pray to God, and just thank God that you're an American, because we are the light of the world, and we all get to be the light of the world again.
Hello, this is Rudy Giuliani, and I am here with America's Mayor Confidential.
America's Mayor Confidential, we talk very low.
Because we don't want the Biden people to hear us or the FBI.
We should talk in code.
You know, I can't believe that I left out of America's Mayor Live, maybe the biggest story of the day, the direct payments, monthly payments from Hunter to Joe.
I never got any money.
Go find the money.
What else do they have to prove to put this guy in jail?
I never saw a guy that's so hard to put in jail.
You know how many times I thought this guy Biden was finished based on everybody else that I've ever put in jail?
About 50 times.
Now he's got this money that was laundered somewhat, but it clearly is Chinese money that his son is passing on to him from all the way up in upstate New York.
I mean, this is not even a big deal in the sense that we already have seen Hunter paying rent to Joe for a house that Hunter owns.
Why don't you just focus on that for a moment?
Who pays rent to someone for a house you own unless you are laundering money to them?
For another purpose, like filling out the obligation, which he very dutifully explained to his daughter, that he had to give half his salary to his father.
So when they say they didn't know what this was for, this is because they're lying to you.
It's because they're lying to you or they're too damn lazy to look at the hard drive.
Because if they look at the hard drive, they will see on the hard drive, very clearly a email From Hunter to the daughter who has Secret Service protection, for reasons I can't figure out, that Joe had to take care, Joe had his son as a bag man for 30 years, and the way he got the money was, the bag man, Hunter, would pay all the expenses of the family, according to Hunter, and I had to give 50% of my income to my pop for 30 years.
Neat arrangement, huh?
And it sort of completes the whole circle, doesn't it?
From the very beginning, the big issue was going back to the first of the 40 or 50 illegal transactions and bribes that have now come out.
But right at the beginning, when I first brought this out in February of 2019, the issue was Why would a Ukrainian organized criminal oligarch pay?
And what we had originally was $83,000 a month to two of them, right?
To Hunter and Devin for a total of $2 million a year.
And it turns out a lot more than that because it was the $5 million and $5 million payment And then the additional $1.2 million laundered payment.
And I don't want to get you all confused with the numbers, but why would he pay a million dollars a year to a broken down drug addict who had just gotten thrown out?
He actually was within months of his being thrown out of the military because he couldn't pass a cocaine test.
He lasted for three months in the military and he couldn't pass a test.
Which means he really is a pretty degenerate drug addict because you think he could keep clean for a few months and not make a fool out of his father, pulling strings to get him in the military, but he couldn't.
So this rich, wealthy, criminal, possible suspected murderer, organized criminal, hires him and gives him millions.
And he knows nothing about oil and gas.
He knows nothing about Ukraine.
And his father just happens to be the vice president of the United States and the guy in charge of Ukraine.
How much of a stretch it is to figure out he was given it to him because of his father?
Do you have to be like a genius to figure that out?
Or do you just have to be a normal human being with a little bit bigger brain than Joe Biden and just use your common sense?
Well now, now we are starting to see, as the committee gets the bank records, we're starting to see what we always knew was going on, the money going to Joe.
And of course he gives half his salary to his father because they're paying him for his father.
They're not paying him for him.
They didn't hire him for What, bringing him Coke?
What the hell does he do?
He's not, I mean, or how about the Chinese?
The Chinese did not invest a billion dollars in a firm, a private equity firm, because of Joe Biden or the other distinguished partners.
Joe Biden's partner, Devin Archer, who's headed off to federal prison for cheating Native Americans.
John Kerry's stepson, who at some point quit because things were so crooked.
And the one they leave out all the time, Whitey Bulger's nephew!
Why would the Chinese give money to Whitey Bulger's nephew?
Because the money was to get the influence and the involvement of the then sitting vice president of the United States of America.
Lock him up!
Which the Chinese do better than anyone I've ever seen, much better than the Russians did.
They know how to compromise American politicians, And maybe it's easy because the Democrats certainly are so damn greedy.
They would take anything that wasn't locked down.
And the Chinese sure come up with big money.
And I mean, it's not as if we got to say one thing.
They certainly didn't buy the Bidens cheap.
I'll tell you something, what I would like to tell Z, you didn't have to spend nearly that much to get these broken down bums.
These were trailer trash guys.
Him and his brother, I mean, they were going for $5,000, $10,000.
You didn't need a billion dollars, jeez.
You probably would have gotten them for a nice $30,000 bribe.
See?
Chinese maybe aren't that smart.
But in any event, this is absolutely hilarious.
I never got any money from my son.
Or how about the other one that, you know, I never talked about, I never knew about my son's foreign businesses.
Well, I mean, we played for you a year ago and then over again as recently as about two months ago, the tape recording in which Joe makes it clear that he knows about his son's foreign dealings, particularly in China.
And then there's another 10 pieces of evidence to prove it.
The two meetings that he had, I mean, the two dinners that he had at the Milano restaurant, including with the crooked Russian woman who gave them $3.5 million.
And Joe had dinner with Butterina twice at Cafe Milano.
Had to know who she was because she was the wife of the outspoken mayor of of Moscow, who everyone knew, including yours truly.
And therefore, he had to know exactly who she was.
He also had to know, unless he's completely, he's even more stupid than I think,
that she's a big player, that she was very close to Putin, that she helped Putin depose her husband
as mayor of Moscow.
As a result of that, she became even richer, that she's the richest woman in Russia.
And also that, excuse me, that I don't have the rest of it, but there's no doubt a lot more money that went from Russia Including Butterina, to the Bidens, I just have 3.5 million.
Excuse me.
To me, 3.5 million is enough to put you in jail for the rest of your life for bribery.
If you're the vice president.
With Russia.
Getting it from Russia.
And getting it from the crooked mayor's wife.
It was really as an investment in deals they were going to do in Russia.
Probably energy deals that would screw the United States like the deals they did in China.
You know, a lot of the deals they did in China have the added problem of being deals that were very detrimental to the national security interests of the United States.
Similar to Hillary Clinton agreeing to let the Russians in on our, was it uranium, plutonium, get 20% of it, I've forgotten which it was, but For that, Bill Clinton got a million-dollar speaking fee.
I'm sorry, people don't get million-dollar speaking fees, except if they're bribes.
The Clinton Foundation, I think, got over a hundred million dollars from the Russians.
And even with that, the biggest contributors to the Clinton Foundation Who are the biggest contributors to the Clinton Foundation?
Can any of the geniuses that are here with me, all of whom are not paying attention to me and are looking at their phones.
I'm listening, Mayor.
It's China.
What do you say, Ted?
I feel like we've talked about this before.
I mean, they were both very confident with China, but I feel like Clinton, we talked about this the other day and there's another location.
I'll give you, I'll give you a, um, Either a veggie or a fruit.
Balance of nature if you get it right.
Good.
I'm gonna say cutter!
I keep mine.
Come on.
Ukraine.
Oh, I didn't think that.
I was thinking Ukraine, like they weren't, no, there's no way they would, there's no way they would do that.
No, I was thinking Ukraine.
I'm like, no, they would have had to do it.
They own one of the oligarchs.
I'm so mad.
The oligarch they own.
No, that's not Kolomoisky.
The oligarch they own is the son-in-law of the former president who chopped the head of the, we talked about this.
He's the son-in-law of the former president who chopped the head off of the Of the reporter.
Really good guy.
Another really good guy.
The Clintons do it a little better.
Imagine taking all that money from the son-in-law of a guy that chops the head of a reporter.
The reporters really love Clinton, but he doesn't mind if you chop their head.
I'm going to tell you the difference between me and the Clintons and why what they're doing to me is so goddamn unfair.
I mean, damn unfair.
Confidential.
This is after hours.
First time I was in Ukraine, they wanted me to meet that president.
I wouldn't do it.
I almost got detained there because I wouldn't do it.
I said, I'm not going to meet a guy who chops heads off.
The Clintons not only met him, the Clintons' best friend was his son-in-law.
And they've gotten hundreds of millions from him.
What a moral people they are.
See, I think the Clintons took the presidency into the dirt.
And then Obama added the ideological communism to it from his training that he got in communism.
And then Biden is just, you know, Obama too.
2.0.
Yeah, with no brain.
And I mean, we got, you know, Edgar Bergen and Charlie McCarthy.
Yeah, it's his boy.
It's Obama's people.
It's Obama calling the shots.
But yeah, I've heard that.
And it also would be impact.
I mean, people say that that Biden also got communist training.
We wouldn't done any good.
He wouldn't understood it.
I mean, there's no way the guy could read Das Kapital.
No way.
He wouldn't get through a page.
I know him.
I mean, I don't even think he can read comic books.
When someone puts a memo in front of him right now, I'm actually trying to imagine.
Oh, they read it now?
Yeah, do they read to him?
I was going to ask you, how do you think they handle?
It would take them hours to get through the memo.
I mean, and the president, usually if something's getting to the president's desk, it's not exactly, you know, these are big decisions, right?
If it's getting all the way to the president.
First of all, I wonder how much they actually tell him.
Yeah.
Uh, and just, just gets decided because he's too damn tired to, he only works half a day.
So there's probably some gatekeepers, huh?
There's probably some people.
No, I don't think he has like a, I don't think, I don't think, I don't think this happens.
Watch.
Yeah.
Like I hand you a full paper.
I think more like this.
Oh, Mr. President.
Um, Oh, look at the picture.
See the picture of the ship.
Let me show you a picture of this.
This is the ship.
This is the Kearney, Mr. President.
See?
That's a ship.
Oh, ship.
Ship.
That's a ship.
I've been on a ship.
In fact, I was on a ship when it was being shot at, and I saved the ship.
No, Mr. President, please.
Please, we don't need another one of these.
We don't need another one.
We got plenty of these, you know.
I was on a ship.
I remember.
I was at Pearl Harbor.
Oh.
Uh, uh, Mr. President, I don't think you were born.
I don't know.
I'm not sure you were born then.
But just, I always wonder.
He was actually born before Pearl Harbor.
He was actually born before Pearl Harbor.
Yeah.
He was born, he was born before Pearl Harbor.
He was there fighting Corn Pop.
Oh yeah.
That's, that's what he was doing.
That's what he was doing.
Wouldn't you love to meet Corn Pop?
Who's Corn Pop?
We're still gonna find out where he is.
We don't even know where he is.
Yeah, we gotta find out.
You don't believe he exists?
Do you?
There are a lot of theories about Kornpop.
Oh wait, you're right.
He may not exist.
I don't think he exists.
Because Biden said this.
I have a different theory.
I believe Kornpop exists and I think Kornpop beat the crap out of him.
The real name was Esther.
I think Kornpop embarrassed him.
He went over to him and he said, please don't... Esther was his name.
His name was Esther.
Esther, please don't get in the way.
I want the children to touch my legs, not yours.
And particularly the very young ones.
The younger they are.
and you better leave the young children on because they're for me.
We got to get some of his sayings we got to have ready to go so we can put some sound effects.
I think Karm Pomp said you keep your hands off those kids damn it or I'm gonna
whack you all over the place.
And then one day he was in, he was in, he was in the pool and he did what he always liked to do.
He put his legs in and the children started playing with the hair on his legs and Corp brought big the crap out of him like he would any pervert.
Right?
Right.
In those days, back in those days, they were not, you know, very tolerant of perverts.
This sounds like a real made up story.
A tough guy by the name of Corn Pop, leader of the Delaware gang called the Romans, was waiting for him outside a pool.
Biden told, Biden was telling Corn Pop was a bad dude who had a bunch of bad boys and was armed with a straight razor
and backed by a gang member.
Get the speaker ready, let's bring it up here.
Wow, that's a really...
You got a picture of him?
No, I don't have a picture of him.
No, I'm gonna play it right now.
No.
I mean, the guys in Brooklyn would not—imagine if a guy was named Corn Pop in Brooklyn.
You would get beat up.
Yeah, Corn Pop, get the hell out of my gang.
Not even mobsters would name themselves Corn Pop.
Yeah, a.k.a.
Corn Pop.
Joe Ruffalo, a.k.a.
Corn Pop.
Yeah, whatever.
Get out of here, Fugazi.
Get out of here.
Fugazi.
And I learned that, uh, it makes a difference.
This was a diving board area.
And I was one of the guards.
And there weren't a lot of, it was a three meter board.
If you fell off sideways, you landed on the damn, uh, the darn cement over there.
What did they call him?
Um, what'd they call him?
A fanouk!
No, a fanouk, yeah, that's right.
You're a fanouk!
I took it off.
And then he got so upset, it was just vicious.
He beat up his girlfriend, you remember?
It was terrible.
Wow, that's interesting.
So now, let's talk about the big screw-up for the NCAA.
So they thought they had it all solved, right?
That's right.
So they thought they had it all.
They thought they had it all solved, right?
That's right.
First they went to this national championship game, right?
They went to a, 10 years ago, they made the switch.
And that one got tough because how do you select just out of two?
So then they went to the playoff system and this was gonna solve all problems.
Four, gonna pick four teams.
And now they got a big problem.
Nice.
So now they have... Let's see if I can use this here.
If I can move it around here like this and use this.
While you're talking, I'm gonna... Alright, we'll play a clip.
We'll play a clip.
So let's play a couple football clips here.
I'm gonna write them out here for our people.
That's all it is.
But there's a lot of airspace to cover for Milrow.
Still looking.
Firing.
Near corner.
It's caught!
Touchdown, Alabama!
Isaiah Bond!
We always keep thinking we've seen it all and we never have, haven't we?
Bond!
Isaiah Bond!
Florida State, so Florida State undefeated season.
I remember in the last several years Auburn beat them for the national title once, right?
About 10 years ago.
Cam Newton.
Was it that long ago?
2011?
Time goes by.
2012?
It does, yeah.
I'm thinking the same thing.
10 years ago, that's crazy.
And here's one more.
Did Auburn win only once?
When?
All time?
Yeah.
I believe they won it more than once, let's check.
We want to warn our audience, this is a leg injury.
Did Auburn win only once?
When?
All time?
Yeah.
I believe they won it more than once, let's check.
But Alabama beat them twice in that period of time, if I recall correctly.
Once, they beat them at least once.
One on one?
Yeah, so 2010, Auburn claims the title in 2010, and then... They have 14 national championships.
Who?
Auburn.
14?
Yeah, 14, yeah.
That seems like a lot.
The Auburn Tigers have won 14 total NCAA team national championships.
Okay, so... Does that mean football?
I believe so, yes.
No.
And if they did, then they're from like 30, they're from 100 years ago.
It doesn't mean football, it means national champions of all kinds.
Number three is Texas, number four Alabama, number five Florida State.
Number six, uh, I believe is Georgia.
18.
Since 1892, Alabama won 18 national championships.
That's football.
Say about Notre Dame.
Okay.
Are you showing that?
No, Ohio State is number seven.
Well, somebody's got to say something then.
Yeah.
Oh, sorry.
I'm going to play another clip.
But I want to warn people, the clip I'm about to play, it is an injury.
Oh, you think they're that delicate?
They're going to have trouble watching it?
So, okay, so what's happening here is in college football, right, four teams go to the playoffs.
There's five major conferences.
So really, right, you'd think out of every year, four of the five conference champions would make the playoffs.
So that's what happened.
However, of the five conference champions, three went undefeated.
So three of the five went undefeated.
So undefeated was Michigan.
Michigan.
And they were what?
Number one.
But what number of wins?
Everyone plays 13 games.
13-0?
13-0.
Washington, 13-0.
If you're in the championship game, you play 13-0.
12-1.
Texas, 12-1.
Alabama, 12-1.
Florida State, 13-0.
Georgia, 12-1, and not conference champions, right?
Georgia lost.
The top five there you have listed, of course, Mayor, are the top five teams in the country and how they were ranked at the end of the year.
As you can see, those five there, those five are... Can everybody see them?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
No, how you had it to the side is good.
Put it to the side so we can see your face.
Well, I'll show you.
They don't need to see my face.
11 national championships for Notre Dame.
Are you sure you do?
Yeah.
So there you have the list, folks, right?
There you have the list.
The top five there have won.
Each one of them represents the winner of one of the big conferences.
But only four get into the championship.
Only four get in?
There are two championship games.
This one here is the Rose Bowl on January 1st, right?
That's one and two.
Michigan and the lowest seed out of them.
Yeah, one and four play each other at the Rose Bowl.
And then two and three play at the Sugar Bowl.
At the Sugar Bowl.
And that'll both happen on New Year's Day, and then a week later, whoever wins will play the national championship.
But isn't there something weird here?
Look at this one.
Florida State at number five!
What are they doing number five when they've got a record just like these guys?
Put a red line under Alabama.
It's going to get more interesting, and we're actually going to tie it to politics at the end.
We are?
Look at, look at number four and look at number five.
Number four is University of Alabama.
Number five is Florida State University.
Where is Florida State University located?
Is it, is it in Tallahassee?
It is in Tallahassee, the home, the home of, uh, where the governor's office is.
Uh, what's happening at the, so, so who lives in Tallahassee right now as governor of Florida?
Ron DeSantis.
Okay.
Uh, okay.
So who has, who has a debate this week on Wednesday?
He does.
And do you guys happen to know where that debate is going to be?
Only because you told me, so I'm going to let you give credit.
Oh, I wish.
But no, Mayor, that debate happens to be on the campus of the University of Alabama.
And Alabama just took Florida State's spot in the national football playoffs.
And DeSantis has already expressed his... In a very nice way, by the way.
You wonder if... I don't know.
Is he a big footballer?
I think he's a big footballer.
Yeah, is it his brand?
I think sports is, but I also tend to agree that there's so much happening in the world right now, you know, as much as people love their football, right?
Especially in this time.
Yeah, yeah.
He was a baseball player in school.
Yeah, big time, including at Yale.
Uh, but, but I find that interesting, right?
Here he is, uh, in politics.
He's got the big debate with everything happening in the world.
And I bet you from his friends, he's hearing a lot from his Florida state alumni.
Oh yeah.
And they're big in Florida, the Florida state and the Florida alumni and the Miami alumni.
They have a big rivalry with each other.
Gators in Florida state.
Big rivalry.
Huge.
The Gators of Florida State?
Florida and Florida State have a huge rivalry.
So Florida State is the Gators?
No, Florida State's the Seminoles and Florida is the Gators.
So they're named after the Native American tribe?
For now.
For now.
Hopefully they can protect us.
Are they going to change the Seminole golf course?
I'm surprised they have it yet, to be honest, right?
But I think it's swinging back and forth.
At one golf, I think maybe they took the Indian off.
Oh, I'm sure you won't see that anymore.
So how do they justify this?
Well, Mayor, President Trump is actually blaming Ron DeSantis because of his bad lobbying.
I think that's it.
I think that's it.
He was doing it in jest.
I've got to be a joke.
Yeah.
Let's blame DeSanctimonio.
He said Ron DeSanctimonio's horrible lobbying.
That's why.
But it is funny how, right Mayor, it comes out and the Mayor said it as soon as I told him, right?
It comes down to a committee.
Uh oh, you know right away then this thing's done.
Yeah.
Here, I'll tell you, I know the argument.
I was just asking Ted.
The argument is that Florida State, although it has a 13-0 record, it is true for purposes of, before we get to the National Championship, you know, I think most people know enough about football to know that every week, from the beginning of the season, they rank the teams.
So even going into the season, they have a presumptive ranking of number one.
So let's say Michigan wins the whole thing this time.
Unless something strange happens to Michigan.
You know, they get disqualified on something or some players get hurt.
Well, that's funny you say that.
They are kind of roped up in a big cheating scandal this year.
Okay, well, unless that scandal really puts a crimp on their team.
They'll come into next season presumptive number one.
Yes.
Just the way Georgia did this year.
Georgia won last year.
So Michigan plays Alabama.
From the beginning of the season, they rank number one, number two, number three, number four, number five, six, seven.
And then they change based on wins and losses.
Yes.
But one of the weights given in the ranking is the difficulty of schedule.
So, just because you have a, let's take a normal record, like 5-3, and the other guy's got 5-3, you may be way ahead of the other guy, because your record is the 10th most difficult, and theirs is the 50th.
So tell us the difference.
Between Alabama, how difficult is their schedule?
They have the 5th most difficult schedule in the country.
And Florida State?
Florida State has the 55th.
That's a big difference, correct?
Huge difference.
Now, just for the heck of it, what would Michigan be?
Do you know, Ted?
Ask again?
Do you know what the Michigan difficulty of schedule was?
Let me look that up.
I will say it was nowhere near.
I can't imagine it was near Alabama.
But didn't they play in the national championship last year?
Michigan lost to TCU.
Who did Georgia beat last year?
TCU in the championship.
Oh.
Uh, Michigan.
Four.
Had the 47th.
Oh!
Ranked.
I want to make sure I get this right.
2023.
Michigan is down at 47.
Yup.
And we had Florida State at.
50.
You missed it.
According to this ranked 50.
So this is a little bit, this is more sports betting, which is different than the official one, but it's close.
Florida State, again, the 50th.
So why doesn't Michigan get knocked down a little?
Well, that's, that's, that's again, right?
It's funny, right?
What did Washington have?
Washington had a tough schedule.
Washington had a lot of tough, uh, 32, 32.
Washington had a lot of tough... 32. 32.
So why isn't Washington ahead of Michigan?
Yeah, exactly.
Right.
Send the schedule.
It's interesting how that works.
If their schedule was more difficult than Michigan, they have the same record.
Michigan beat Ohio State, they would say.
But you're right.
Washington beat Oregon twice.
And Oregon finished top 10 in the season.
And how about Texas?
What was Texas?
Difficulty of record.
And Texas, being in the SEC, you'd imagine it had a... Tough one.
A tough one.
Number 17.
Right.
Wow!
So Florida State...
Unfortunately, took a hit for being in the ACC, really.
And some say there's SEC bias.
Yeah.
Right.
And and look, obviously, the TV, these people would much rather see a Michigan-Alabama semifinal than a Michigan-Florida State semifinal where they're on a third string quarterback.
Right.
Florida State's a big time program.
Don't get me wrong.
The quarterback hurt them a lot, too.
The quarterback got injured.
And it's still not the same brand.
Their starting quarterback got injured and they didn't play.
They won.
But they didn't play dominant football as they did under their star quarterback.
I mean, the league, I mean, they're salivating over a Rose Bowl between Jim Harbaugh and the University of Michigan Wolverines versus Nick Saban and Alabama.
Exactly.
All the storylines, right?
You got Nick Saban, the ultimate coaches coach against Jim Harbaugh, who some see as a cheater, someone who doesn't belong in college sports.
Alabama, the ultimate program against Michigan, which is the most storied program, but hasn't won as much as Alabama.
North versus South, right?
The Yankees of the North, Dixieland, right?
Alabama doesn't get much more Southern than Alabama.
Let's finish our discussion on our favorite topic, politics.
Let's do it.
So tomorrow, no, Wednesday night.
Wednesday night debate.
There will be a debate in Alabama between DeSantis.
Who's all going to be at that debate?
Haley.
Haley.
And... Vivek?
Vivek for sure.
Question mark about Christie as to whether or not he's got enough either money or contributors.
He's having trouble with the, with the qualification with regard to With regard to his number of contributions.
He might not make it.
He claims he is going to make it, but of course, what else is he going to say?
He claims he is going to make it, but the question is, will he have enough in time for the debate?
So there might only be three?
There might be three?
Yeah.
Oh, because Tim Scott was on the last one, right?
There might be three.
Right.
Wow.
Was there six last time?
No.
There was five?
Yeah.
Wow.
So it'd be a good debate.
I mean, the more narrow it becomes, the better it becomes, right?
Right.
And of course, you know, Governor DeSantis is feeling his oats with that big win at vs. Newsom.
Well, we call it a win because we look at it from the Republican point of view.
Yeah, you're right.
But a lot of the polls made it a draw.
Actually, you're right.
I saw that.
I noticed that too.
But I knew that within five minutes of the debate, we both knew.
They're not talking.
They're talking to a totally different audience.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It'll be a draw because the country is split in half.
Yeah.
And Republicans say DeSantis won and Democrats say Jerk Boy won.
And then other people just don't know.
So, so, so when the dynamics are going to be interesting, the media, you know, they're going to make it about Nikki versus Ron with Vivek kind of playing the annoying guy.
And Ron has the whole ball of wax invested in Iowa.
That's right.
It's all Iowa.
So he has to come in second, doesn't he?
Where President Trump was on Saturday.
He's got to come in second for sure.
He's got to come in... A strong second?
Or can he just win second?
Well, first of all, he's got to come in second at least.
If he comes in third, if he comes in third, even if the numbers are low for both of them, but if he comes... Let's say she gets 15 and he gets 13, which really means Trump trounced him, right?
I think he's out.
Because he's like sixth in New Hampshire.
And I don't think he... There are people who lose in Iowa and then win in New Hampshire.
But I don't think it's him.
I don't think he put the time in in New Hampshire in order to make that happen.
As of this poll today, Mayor, you got DeSantis at 17.7 in Iowa.
Haley, 15.
Vivek, 4, well almost 5, and Fat Boy, I mean Chris Christie, 3.8.
We don't call him Fat Boy!
We do not refer to him as Fat Boy.
Sorry about that.
No Fat Boy.
He can't help it.
DeSantis just has a tiny... He can't help it that he can't stop eating.
I'm sorry.
We will not refer to Chris Christie as Fat Boy.
DeSantis has a 2.7% edge over Haley right now, as of today.
So, okay, okay.
We got all these geniuses here.
Political, you ran for office, you ran lots of campaigns, and I ran for office a few times.
And won.
And won.
And lost, too.
Particularly in primary, the New Hampshire primary.
So what do you think?
I have a feeling that may change because we're too far from the primary, but I have a feeling for now.
Yeah, what do you think?
I want to say what you think first.
I think... I won't change.
I'll write down.
Hold on.
I'll write down what I think.
Yeah, you write down what you think.
I'm thinking... I'll write down.
I'm not going to be influential.
Yeah.
So I really think they're almost all locked in.
I have to read about what's happening on the ground in Iowa, right, to really know how this caucus is going to go.
I think the debate ends with Nikki Haley coming off as the winner.
I'll predict a Nikki Haley victory.
I'm going to end up thinking of a fake one, but the media is going to say Nikki.
What do you mean one?
You think he's going to pull it out in terms of the number of votes?
Oh, no, no, I guess you're right.
So, performance-wise, I think Vivek's just a much better debater.
However... Oh, you mean the debate?
I'm talking about who's going to win the primary now, the caucus.
Oh, Trump won.
Lucky Maria wasn't here.
If I called it primary, she'd throw something at me.
The Iowa caucus, it's going to go Trump.
I'm going to say Trump.
Haley DeSantis.
Ooh.
I'm going to predict because Haley got the endorsement of that group that really has some on the ground people.
And you know how momentum is, Mayor.
DeSantis got the minister for $95,000.
He got the $95,000 minister!
And he got the governor for who knows what.
So let's do the first two states.
So I'll say for Iowa, Iowa caucus, Trump, Haley, DeSantis.
New Hampshire, I'm going to say Trump, Haley.
Buzzer I just, uh, who's third there?
Is it going to be Christy or Vivek?
Christy's third right now.
I don't, but I don't think Christy ends up there at third and third.
I don't like that.
He's killing the Sanders right now by like 60%.
So what was the worst?
Trump, Haley, Vivek, I'll say.
New Hampshire.
Oh, we were on New Hampshire?
Yeah.
New Hampshire, Christy.
Trump, Haley, Vivek.
I wish we had Dr. Maria here.
She knows New Hampshire better than we do.
I got the poll right here.
All right.
Well, Paul, what do you think's going to happen?
I know, I'm going to tell you what I think is going to happen, but I would like to see.
I just told you my thoughts.
Can we find Dr. Maria?
You want to go, Mike?
Tell her we need a quick, last minute appearance.
It doesn't have to appear, just a statement.
For Iowa, I think it's going to be Trump.
I have Iowa already figured out.
Alright, so New Hampshire?
Yeah.
I think it's going to be Trump, Haley, Christie.
Because they don't like DeSantis in New Hampshire.
At all.
They don't like DeSantis in New Hampshire.
They're not a fan of him.
So I think it's going to be Trump, Haley, Christie.
And where do we put Vivek?
Fourth.
I think Vivek beats DeSantis in New Hampshire.
I think so.
Because they're neck and neck right now.
So.
But if DeSantis does well in the debate.
What do you think?
I'm going to call Dr. Maria, but while I do that, Mayor, what do you think?
Just to keep this going.
Just to make the numbers work, here's what I think.
I think Iowa is 60% for Trump.
We need an opinion.
No?
So here's what we got.
We got Trump 60% for me.
60% for me. Haley in Iowa, 20% for Haley, 15% for DeSantis and 5% for Vecna.
That's Iowa.
Okay.
What about New Hampshire?
New Hampshire, I got Trump at 50, Haley at another 20, Christie half that, 10.
Yeah, I see.
The Vec and DeSantis tied at 5.
Me and the mayor on the same page.
The Vec and DeSantis tied, probably, I agree with you, the Vec will probably beat him by a little.
Like a smidgen.
Like a 6-4.
They don't like DeSantis and New Hampshire for some reason.
They're not a fan of him.
And you see what'll happen is he'll really sink if he loses Iowa.
Right.
Whatever he's got, if he loses Iowa, her numbers will go up in New Hampshire, his numbers will go down, and everybody else's numbers will go up.
I think this debate is really gonna, for Iowa, not New Hampshire's sake, I think DeSantis really needs to do good in this debate, or else Haley's gonna jump him in Iowa, if he doesn't do well in this debate.
That's my opinion.
I don't know if you agree with me, Mayor.
You think he'll jump out?
No, I think Haley will jump over him in Iowa if he bombs this debate.
Yeah, yeah, 100%.
Yeah, that's what I think.
She's right on his tail in Iowa.
It is possible that she'll, I mean, she could lose the debate.
It could go either way.
Because they really went after her last time and she started with a wise guy.
She was kind of a wise guy last time.
Vivek destroyed her last debate.
It was not good.
I thought so.
If he hadn't gotten into that one statement about her daughter, no good.
If he hadn't done that one thing, I think he would have really wiped her out.
You don't do that.
You don't attack families.
Come on.
No, no.
That was a dumb thing to do.
Yeah, that's low.
That's low.
You don't do that.
And that hurts him.
That hurts him broadly.
Even the future.
Very, very bad thing to do.
He's going to have to do a lot to overcome that one.
Well, let's see.
We'll get Dr. Maria involved tomorrow in the New Hampshire thing, because she really has a good feeling for it.
I think she'll be up in New Hampshire tomorrow, so maybe she'll call in and tell us what the people are talking about.
A couple of her friends really have a feeling for it, and maybe we'll get Maybe we'll line up some interviews this week in New Hampshire.
We can do them by phone and see what the people up there think.
I like that idea.
You know, what, what, what, what feeling do they have?
You know, they're really not affected very much by Iowa, except they, except they're contrarian, except, um, the only thing that could happen is if Haley, no, no, no.
See what'll happen is if DeSantis wins in, By winning, you mean second.
If he gets second in Iowa, New Hampshire, in a strange way, he might do worse in New Hampshire.
Because they don't like him and they'll deliberately go vote against him.
They literally do not.
Like, he's almost in dead last in New Hampshire.
Yeah.
Like, Vivek is right behind him.
You know what he did?
He made it too clear that his priority was Iowa.
And the people in New Hampshire hate that because they feel they have the first primary.
Because the Iowa thing, Iowa thing is weird and it's the reason why it never predicts the nominee, just about.
Because you win it based on who has the best small organization that can bring out a fairly small group of people that are going to be very, very loyal.
And you can almost steal it.
It has no reflection on your general popularity.
Santorum won it.
Is there a President Santorum?
Even my good friend Huckabee won it.
Is there a President Huckabee?
And some of the great Presidents.
Ronald Reagan lost it first time out.
Donald Trump lost it.
There was a President Trump and a President Reagan.
I'm saying, last thoughts, just watch tomorrow, Christie from New Hampshire, he's got Wednesday, he's got 5% more than Vivek and DeSantis in New Hampshire, so if he does well, he might go up too.
If he gets in.
If he gets in, that's right, if he gets in.
To me, he never does well because he's so nasty.
I don't know how, I don't know who thinks he does well.
He does.
MSNBC.
He thinks so.
All he does is attack Trump.
It's getting old.
Maybe if you were doing it in the general election with Democrats who hate him, but by and large, the Republicans, even the ones against him, maybe you got about 10% who really hate him.
Then you have the group that just doesn't like the way he talks.
But many of them are coming around to Trump because he's getting beaten up so much.
In a way, I think this is the worst time to be attacking Trump as a Republican, because I think Trump is getting a great deal of... I think he's getting a great many votes from people that might otherwise vote for him because they're beating him up so much.
And he's handling it well.
He's handling it really, really well.
another debate. So Wednesday we'll have to see what time that's on.
Okay, so we'll be back tomorrow.
We'll have plenty more on this and we'll start getting ready for the debate and we'll see what kind of progress Israel makes and how much more time they have to get rid of one of the worst terrorist groups in the world being propped up in a way that you never would have believed by an American president.
Well, pray for the people of Israel.
They're under tremendous pressure right now.
Of course, pray for the people of the United States, because they've taken away so many of our freedoms.
But then again, thank God for being an American, because we can get them back.
It's in our hands.
So, tomorrow at three, WABCRadio.com, and tomorrow at eight, America's Mayor Live on X, formerly Twitter, or Getter, or Rumble, or YouTube, or Instagram, or Facebook.
Okay?
Or you can just open a window and you might hear me screaming.
