America's Mayor Live (E351): ELECTION 2024—Previewing Michigan's Presidential Primary
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
Good evening, this is Rudy Giuliani and this is America's Mayor Live.
We have our admirers here in Palm Beach.
I guess I'll begin by, I don't know if you've heard this, but there's been a hazmat visit to the home of Donald Trump Jr.
And all that we know is That someone delivered a mysterious white powder to the door.
That could be anything, of course.
Um, and we'll keep you posted as we, as we find out.
I sent a message to them, wishing them the best and, um, they can't be any more than about five miles from here, six at the most.
So we'll see what we can find out as we, as we move along.
No, no one injured and it could be.
Could be something, could be a prank, could be a really dumb one, could be something serious.
We don't know now, but we'll find out.
But it's nothing to be alarmed about in the sense that anyone was injured.
Thank God.
So I guess we're in, we're really in political season now, aren't we?
That's right.
We're over, we're sort of like, Well, you can't, you can't call Iowa and New Hampshire spring training, right?
At the beginning of the season, when they have like the day off and two days off and it hasn't really started.
Okay.
Okay.
Miss New Hampshire.
Uh, but so far there seems to be only, there seems to be only one team in the league.
Uh, nobody's gotten into the major leagues other than him.
Uh, there's not even been a close election.
Um, he, Also, the kind of victory that he just had in the home state of Haley is quite a knockout.
60-40, former governor, no real hope.
And also, if you break that down on the Republicans that voted, who were the ones who have to select the nominee, you know, ultimately, It's more like about a 70-30 victory, which is wipeout.
He also collected every single electoral vote in the state of Michigan.
And is that right?
Did he get it?
South Carolina?
In South Carolina.
I'm anticipating Michigan.
Michigan is tomorrow.
He should do very well there, as you know.
So we have three out of three.
We have Michigan coming up now.
That would be the biggest of the state so far in terms of size.
Um, it's a, it's a different part of the country.
Uh, so let's see.
It's a state that he's, uh, he won narrowly.
I know I have to say on the record lost narrowly.
I have a different view of that.
Having spent a lot of time studying Michigan, a lot of time.
Yeah, Antrim County.
Antrim County, but no, you're not allowed to talk about it.
You're not allowed to talk about an entire county where Biden was the first Democrat to win in 140 years.
I know, Antrim.
And some guy challenged it and it turned out there had been a malfunction with the machines.
How do you hide?
The machines malfunctioned.
And if you say anything else, you'll be sued for $50 billion.
You will.
Say anything else, you'll be sued for $50 billion.
And if you get in front of Engelmoron, he'll make it $100 billion.
So, what about Michigan tomorrow, Ted?
Yes, Michigan's primary is tomorrow, the Democrat primary and the Republican primary.
Uh, the Democrat primary is pretty straightforward.
I believe it's, for them, 117, uh, delegates and the winner takes, takes all.
There's never a Democratic primary?
There is.
There is.
You had, who did you have today?
Elizabeth, no.
Who's in it?
Amy Klobuchar was in Macomb County today.
For, for, uh.
For that, for the guy that's sitting in the White House right now.
For?
Yeah.
For Biden?
Yeah.
Did they tell Biden or did they just spare him the news?
Yeah.
They said Amy Klobuchar of all people.
Do you think they've mistaken her?
She's a senator from Minnesota, right?
They made a mistake and sent her to Michigan.
Yeah.
That's how they lost in 16.
Hillary got Minnesota and Michigan mixed up and she kept going to Minnesota.
Right?
And so the Republican primary in Michigan is interesting this year because we already actually had a caucus I have no witness campaigning for him.
That's right.
Governor Whitmer, of course, who some have- Is it necessary to call him Governor Whitmer because you're from Michigan or as a sign of respect for a dictator?
You know what?
It's interesting.
I really don't say the same for Joe Biden, but for some reason with Whitmer, I do say it for Whitmer.
I have no respect for him because I consider someone who has no understanding of the United States Constitution, human rights, Decency, being honest, treating yourself the way you treat other people because of the way she dealt with COVID and the way she dealt with her citizens and why you and Michigan reelected her is the same.
Stupid reason why we can't keep electing Democrats.
Rules for me, but not for thee.
Yeah.
What's going to happen in Michigan tomorrow?
Well, so Nevada, right, had a caucus and a primary.
However, the primary didn't matter and the caucus decided everything.
In Michigan, we're having a caucus and a primary.
It's a relatively new move.
It should help President Trump.
But in our case, both the caucus and the primary count towards the total delegate allocation.
There's the caucus.
The primary is going to award 16 delegates.
The caucus convention actually is another 39.
Well, has he won that already?
The caucus?
It gets even more interesting.
And he has, yes, yes, yes.
But it actually gets more interesting.
There's confusion.
The caucus isn't until March 2nd.
So no, they haven't had the caucus yet.
However, as you know, there's an ongoing feud in Michigan.
There's actually two individuals who are claiming That they are the party chair, right?
You have Christina Caramo, who won an election over a year ago, right?
Was named chair.
She won that one fair and square.
She became the chair.
And then she's been, well, according to many, she's been rightfully removed from her chair position.
With a vote?
With a vote of the Of the delegates and the district chairs, right?
Not the whole committee.
Not the whole committee, but a majority.
A vast majority.
I guess that's in the byrules.
Exactly.
That always creates a problem.
It's creating a big problem.
She got elected by the membership and she got removed by the bosses.
That's right.
And look, it's actually the Democrat Party who have taken over the state legislature in Michigan for the first time in a long time, right?
They moved our primary up to February 27th.
Was she the chairman when they lost the state?
In 2020, and you might remember this name, it was actually a woman named Laura Cox.
Yeah, I remember that.
I'm talking about in 2022.
Well, it went from Laura Cox to Ron Weiser, and who you know well, and I know well.
I know that Ron was the chairman when they lost.
Ron Weiser was the chairman when they lost in 22, but I don't blame Ron Weiser.
Ron Weiser put $5 million into it.
Well, she removed because they lost.
No, no, no.
2022, she won after.
She hasn't had a chance.
Yeah, she was the Secretary of State candidate in 2022.
it's got got smoked right lost well you know we know that she lost she lost to a secretary 2022 is that the one who burned the ballots or prematurely jocelyn benson she's also the one that had a you know my goodness she's the one who burned ballots in december now watch out for her because she's gunning for something she may burn ballots before the election And so, in Michigan, it's very interesting, and I think both parties see it as an important state.
Of course, the Democrat Party and Joe Biden's having problems, even more than I figured, with the Arab vote.
There's a large Muslim and Arab population.
With the electrical workers, too.
I mean, the autoworkers.
Although the union endorsed him, the membership is sort of rebelling.
Yes, which is similar to 2016.
You know this.
The last union in the world that should endorse Biden He and his brand of the party has cost Michigan more jobs than any group of people.
Bingo.
It's like claiming you want to get rid of slavery names and maintaining the name Democrat Party.
That's right.
You're sensitive to names that denote slavery.
That's why you want to change Jefferson, but you don't want to change Democrat Party.
It's interesting.
It's absolutely, it's interesting.
And Biden in 2020, in Michigan, officially he did take the state.
And look, he kind of, it worked in terms of painting him as like a blue collar guy, Scranton Joe, you know,
the Obama, Biden, they get all this credit for the auto bailout.
You know, they juxtaposed him to Mitt Romney.
And so they were able to kind of paint him as this blue collar guy.
By 16.
Exactly.
Obviously I've traveled Michigan six days, obviously they blamed The Democrats for losing their jobs.
Well, really, they blame both Republicans and Democrats, right?
Both parties blamed each other for years, whether it's NAFTA, TPP.
Trump is a true fair trade guy.
So then a guy comes along like President Trump, and he's speaking in front of the Ford Motor executives to their faces.
He's telling them, we're building the cars here, and if you're not, we're slapping a tariff on those suckers before they come back in.
He's the only guy or woman that was willing to say those sorts of things to these people's faces.
So Trump came along and won.
He should win Michigan.
He should.
And of course, Mayor, you've gone to Michigan a number of times.
We've been there together a number of times.
And look, outside of President Trump, you get the biggest reaction.
I mean, our good friend Lena, we brought you in to help us on a race for, like, Board of Regents.
And my goodness, and I know we're not here to talk about it, but the convention delegates were just, you know, You're very popular in Michigan.
So Haley is the only real candidate against him.
So are we looking at another 55-45, would you say?
It should be 55-45 because of the caucus.
The caucus delegates should all go to Trump.
And so how about tomorrow's primary?
So for the primary, I would say if I were to make a prediction, Hopefully the spread is larger than that, but because of our primary system, there's a good number of Democrats, Independents, and vote may come out.
So yeah, Haley, look, she came in late, right?
You mentioned that she just started spending some money there.
It's a tailor-made state for President Trump.
It will be interesting to see what Haley can do.
Being from South Carolina, She's going to appeal to some of these more, again, you know, the never Trump Republican Party.
And how big is that?
Well, I guess we're about to find out.
Well, let's take a short break and we'll be back with all the rest.
Okay, let's move this step.
Okay.
The television.

Well, here we are back and let's take a look at the last Michigan poll.
It has Trump beating Biden by 2% and in a four-way race by 3%.
in a four-way race by 3%. It has him beating Haley by 52%.
It has Biden winning over Phillips by And then in an earlier poll, not that much earlier, today, 6% in the Harvard poll, Trump.
Trump by 7%, another poll.
Trump by 64% over Haley.
I'm reading all the last day polls.
Yeah.
If we go to Maine, It's Trump in the primary by 26%.
Biden by only eight over Trump in Maine.
Maine is also the borough?
Yeah.
Super Tuesday, sorry, Super Tuesday.
Montana, well, Montana's the governor's race, but Gianforte is winning that.
Well, just just looking at Rogers, Rogers is ahead of the Michigan Senate race by 16.
Well, that's interesting, and that's only because Chief James Craig, who, full disclosure, is a friend of mine, has chosen not to run.
I see.
For the Senate, for the Senate seat.
So Mike Rogers is now ahead, is now kind of by de facto.
But there'll be a couple of people that will spend some big money in that race.
So we'll see what happens there.
The presidential level in Michigan, Trump is polling in the high 70s.
Right, and Nikki Haley is hovering in the high teens, low 20s, which that may not be the end result, but it would make sense, right?
When you think about the state, she's not a good candidate.
She's been making a lot of mistakes along the way.
Since she couldn't name the places in Ukraine, she wants to spend billions and get people killed.
She'd become an airhead.
She couldn't name that.
She couldn't tell us what the causes of the Civil War were.
I mean, she's having real brain trouble.
Now she's saying Trump emboldened Putin when he's the only president?
Yeah, I mean, she actually makes the case.
She actually makes the case for him.
I would say that one of the building issues in this campaign, now in addition to immigration and the open border, in general is the is the migrant crime the illegal migrant we may go back to illegal aliens which is what they used to be called the illegal alien um crime wave i mean they're killing people all over america now this this um some of them some of them become very big some small but lake and the lake and riley case is um oh is that is that uh really said in uga in new york
Well, he was in New York.
He was let out, I mean, caused by New York letting him out.
But this guy came from Venezuela.
He was in New York?
He was let out of New York.
He was arrested in New York for abuse of a child.
And of course, what happened?
He was let out and we probably... I don't know if he already has his debit card for a grand a month that our mayor Who has officially lost his mind, uh, is giving them.
And it turns out it may be a big, uh, uh, scandal because he also did a no bid contract for millions and millions of dollars to a company that does nothing about coming up with the money.
It just goes to MasterCard and gets the cards and it gets a $55 million fee to start with and a share of the Well, you can't call profits money you're giving away.
Why I would get a share of anything is beyond me, since it's getting 55 million.
But they are good friends of the mayor, and they were picked with no bid when there are many more companies that actually know how to do this in New York.
But they were a startup minority company that was in Newark and moved to Harlem so they could lap up The political money.
So if you think that this money for migrants is for migrants, this is no more for migrants than any of the other Democrat dependency money.
It's mostly for the politicians.
Because if this money had been for the poor people, we wouldn't have poor people.
Because we have spent more than enough to take about three countries out of poverty.
Having made American politicians, particularly members of Congress, millionaires.
And Mayor, there's some news because this is so atrocious, but where's the outrage?
This is a dead University of Georgia student killed by an illegal immigrant.
Whenever a police officer... Well, first of all, they don't say that.
Ed Schmidt on Newsmax did a piece where he showed that... Rob Schmidt, sorry.
What did I call him, Ed?
Ed.
Rob Schmidt.
Newsmax did a piece showing that every place they call him, just from Albany, an Albany man.
An Athens man.
An Athens man.
First of all, he's not an Athens man.
He fled from New York to Athens.
He's been there about three months.
He's an illegal alien from Venezuela.
Who came into this country illegally.
I'm not even sure he declared asylum status, because all his wife does is talk about how they're looking for money.
He made no attempt to get a job.
He got himself on the government dole immediately, became a Biden dependent immediately.
Committed crimes in New York.
He got caught for at least one.
He, of course, was let out and probably given a reward by Bragg or if it were Bragg or one of the other DAs.
The immigration did nothing about it, of course.
They'd probably be fired if they did.
I do not know.
I don't think he was there long enough.
He got, I mean, he got the welfare benefits.
He got the health care in New York.
He could have kept his kid in school right through college.
He would have made more in New York than he ever made in Venezuela.
And he was one of numerous Venezuelans that are in New York.
Of course, a group of 14 of them have beat up a New York police officer.
That made two New York police officers.
They come from the trans Aragua gang that is now inflicting crime, all kinds of crime, both violent and larceny type crimes on New York and Los Angeles.
Don't know how many, a lot.
How about we just say a lot?
Crime has actually gone down a little in Argentina, and there's no question that Maduro, who has a pretty friendly relationship with Biden, after all, they are both communist dictators, is doing what Castro did.
He keeps hearing that Biden is a worse president than Carter, so he says, I'll do to Biden what Castro did to Carter.
I got a lot more of them.
Castro sent over about 25,000 criminal maniacs called the Marielle Boatlift, I'll send over 50 to 100.
And they'll freaking wipe you out.
I mean, they'll cut your heads off.
And oh, by the way, TransAgra is working out an alliance with MS-13 because they don't know the territory well enough.
That's where they can kill more of us.
This is all now the Democrat party.
This isn't just Biden.
It's been a theme of the Democrat party for years now to have open borders.
Well, guys, you got to open borders, okay?
You've now given us open borders.
Would you like to retire?
Go somewhere, like leave the country, given all the damage you've done.
This family, this family should personally sue Biden for killing, for killing their daughter.
This doesn't happen if you don't have an open border.
This girl, Lakin O'Reilly, who was training to be a nurse, I believe, at Augusta University, was killed by Jose Antonio Iberra.
He was not, it says here, he was not an asylum seeker.
He's looking for better economic opportunity.
You know, even the post, he was looking for better economic opportunities.
It's like stealing money.
Of course, you can steal more money in Venezuela.
You know, in Venezuela, I think they shoot you if you steal money.
Right?
If you wanted to move here for work, you could have applied for a visa.
Instead, President Biden has allowed millions like him to game the system, helped by charity groups.
Don't know if he was, but thank you, Roman Catholic Church.
Well, in October 2023... Thank you, Father, whatever the hell your name is.
Smart.
Really smart.
Yeah, this is like you're letting in homicidal maniacs, jerk.
This is not, this is not the migrants of 20 to 30 years ago.
I'm not sure you were right about that because you let an awful lot of drug dealers in then too.
But now it's like an epidemic.
It's like ridiculous.
You're also letting in, you also have created in America the center of child abuse and child trafficking.
People come here now for child trafficking.
We're the center, thanks to you.
You have helped it.
You take that money, that isn't stolen by the politicians, and you take it for your church, also Protestant, and you use it for these criminals.
And you don't, you have no idea if they're criminals or not.
Come on now.
You really check their records?
Like hell you do.
Biden doesn't.
Why would you?
Well, this suspect, you know, the suspect charged in the death of nursing student Lakin Hope Riley on the University of Georgia campus had been arrested by both federal and local authorities in multiple jurisdictions since unlawfully entering the country in 2022.
He was arrested by U.S.
Customs and Border Protection in September of 2022 after unlawfully entering the U.S.
U.S.
Immigration and Customs How stupid is that?
How stupid is that?
And then again in October 2023, both Ibarra and his brother were issued citations
after being accused of shoplifting.
And they were actually given information about a pre-arrest diversion program.
This according to the Athens-Clarke County Police.
How stupid is that?
How stupid is that?
What is that, some kind of liberal jerk?
Local authorities allege- Mr. Ibarra, here's your-
This is insane.
Look, one thing, if it's a citizen, even then they shouldn't be this soft on crime.
This is someone who's illegally here.
We don't know who they are.
The local police arrest them, issue citations, and then give them pre-arrest divergence programs.
In the United States, it looks like he hadn't had too many days without a crime.
He's obviously a career criminal, now murdered an innocent child.
Well, no longer, and her parents are destroyed for life.
She has no life.
Dad, she went jogging on the university intramural fields.
I don't know what time of day, so I don't want to say broad daylight.
His wife went up with him in New York, apparently.
She never went to Georgia with him.
Wonder why.
He was caught stealing at a Walmart.
This was after he was arrested in New York in September of 2023.
So here's a third incident by the NYPD.
And he was charged with acting in a manner to injure a child less than 17 years old and a motor vehicle license violation.
Where was that?
Was that in Manhattan?
He was in New York.
He was released by the NYPD before a detainer could be issued ICE.
The NYPD let him go?
Yep.
They didn't even bring him to a judge so that they can have... What does this mean?
Bragg, well that means they didn't take him to the court.
He was released by the NYPD before a detainer could be issued.
They never brought him to court.
Never even gave Bragg a chance to release him.
They did it themselves.
The NYPD just let him go?
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
And now a young girl who is... Maybe somebody should ask Adams what the hell that's all about.
Or Kaman, who's I think the police commissioner.
He travels so much it's hard to know.
Her body was found Thursday in a wooden carriage.
Is there anyone who was afraid to say anything when Bragg allowed his cops to get that shit kicked out of them?
Investigators did.
I will always remember that about Caban's.
When I think of Ray Kelly, I think of one of the great police commissioners who's reduced crime, stopped the Crown Heights riots.
When I think of Bernie Kerik, I think of September 11.
I think of him actually making arrests by himself.
When I think about Howard Safer.
Real cops.
I think about how he institutionalized so many of our programs, professionalized them, took a lot of the reforms that Bratton made and made them permanent.
When I think about Bratton, I think about reform.
I think about helping with so many of the early programs that turned out to be internationally well known.
And when I think about Eddie Caban, I'll think about how he doesn't stick up for his cops because he's afraid of Bratton.
Thanks, Eddie.
You're a hell of a cop, babes.
Riley's body was found- And Adams, what the hell is wrong with you?
No, it's, it's bad.
What's wrong with you, Adams?
What's wrong with you?
You are really, really, you're an embarrassment to the city like Biden is an embarrassment to the country.
Why don't you Makes that Maricopa County prosecutor look even more right, right?
By keeping this dangerous person in Arizona.
It won't send the person back, it won't send the immigrants back to New York because she's got a 20-year wrap on them.
And she says, how do I know?
I've already gotten a couple of Bragg's people here beating up my citizens, maybe even killing them.
The guys, look, let's face it, New York is so big and people move around from New York.
We can be a great asset to the country when we do what I did, have crime go down, reduce welfare by record numbers, get people working, or we can be a detriment to the country because we spread crime.
We're spreading crime now.
We're becoming infectious.
The crooked, decrepit, perverted Democrat Party of New York is becoming infectious because my brainwashed citizens just keep voting for them.
I'm sorry.
I apologize.
How they could have voted for Adams is beyond measure.
And how they voted for de Blasio the second time.
Wow.
And then we look at Chicago.
That had two totally, I mean, one okay candidate for a Democrat.
Okay.
He'd have made a 2% difference in the murder rate.
Well, this guy has it up by 15%.
And I can't.
So they picked.
Yeah.
They want to die.
But I can't stop thinking of your point.
I can't stop thinking of your your strategy.
Excuse me if I get a bit angry, but it hurts.
It emotionally hurts.
I work really hard to fix that city.
And they have not only ruined it for the city, they're now ruining it for the country.
They got the people like Ibarra going all around.
This guy came from this guy we had in our hands, NYPD.
We had this guy in our hands.
What do we do?
It's too bad.
I just can't go back.
I go back and think of your approach to policing, broken windows theory, taking care of the small things and enforcing the law because if that happened, this woman would be alive today.
We've got subway crime going up again.
Remember last year, Adams was walking around like he was the king of Siam because subway crime was down by about 3%.
And every day he would say, it's not going to get the head, the head kicked in on the subway.
Subway crime is down.
Yeah.
You weren't the type of guy that bragged about little decreases.
I waited until it was like 20 or 30%.
Then eventually it went down by 60.
Wow.
We can't take the weight off Biden for this, but these are all Biden-isters.
These are all the little communists with the big communists in the White House, or the dumb communists in the White House.
They're all doing this progressive garbage.
Soros garbage.
This is Soros stuff.
These are Soros DAs.
This is Soros, let the criminals out on the street.
This is Soros, hate American nationalism.
This is Soros, hate America.
Which is also reflects itself and what's going on.
We think about the border, it has so many implications.
There were several articles over this weekend about how we are being flooded by Chinese.
Well, that figures, right?
I made a little list, which I'll run off for you quickly because I'm going to do a special on this.
Bagram, COVID, fentanyl, the cutting down vetting of Chinese to four questions.
Doing away with the China initiative, which put lots of Chinese spies in jail.
Doing away with the unit that does it for America, like we don't need it.
Biden did that.
More Chinese coming in through San Diego than Mexicans now.
And then reducing the questions at last count from 45 to 4 for the country that most wants to spy on us.
If you didn't know any better, that the guy who did that was bribed, doesn't it?
One would say, why?
Sounds like that guy's corrupt who did that.
I mean, one guy did all that.
Sounds like he was bribed.
Couldn't be.
That must be totally separate.
I mean, he didn't know.
He didn't know about the millions and millions and millions and millions that would go into his family.
Even though his son said, I gave 50% to him.
When they flew all those hours to China and his son came back and 10 days later got a billion dollars from the murderous, insane, atheistic, dictatorial red Chinese.
He didn't know about it.
One would say if he were vice president, shouldn't he have known that if he had an ounce of ethics?
Your son is doing business with a country that has killed more of its citizens.
In any country in the modern world, and he's taking a billion dollars for an investment and you don't even know that your son got the money.
You don't know that the money went into a fund with Whitey Bulger's nephew as a partner.
You're the vice president and you don't know that?
And you really want me to believe that?
You really want me to believe that?
You must really think we're stupid.
And I guess we are, because a lot of people voted for it.
Or did they cover that one up?
I don't remember.
No, no, no, that, that, that, that was covered up.
That was covered up.
You'd have to, I mean, to really have that solid, you'd have to have the hard drive.
So Barr, you can thank Barr and the piece of crap that runs the FBI and a couple of those people for that.
So the Chinese migrants are coming in.
Like crazy, we have no idea what they do because we don't ask them even.
Now I'm going to show you a progression from Trump.
Trump originally had the Chinese under very special watch, as he did from other countries that had a large number of people who hate America.
And then he actually, because of COVID, he increased the number of questions that were going to be asked.
Given the rulemaking that goes on, it wasn't going to go into effect until two months into Biden's administration.
Well, I mean, in addition to giving China back or getting rid of the airbase 400 miles from China, which may be the single most traitorous thing done in America since Benedict Arnold.
First of all, he did not implement the additional questions for China.
I don't know how many there were before, but he cut it down to 45.
That was a cut down.
And then last year he cut it down to 1, 2, 3, 4.
And he did it because the Chinese were complaining that it takes too long to get in illegally.
And they're not sending spies here?
You think they're stupid?
Like him?
You think he doesn't know this ending?
Well, he doesn't know.
But you think the communists around them don't know they're sending spies here?
Oh, this is about the China balloon.
Gee, I forgot the China balloon!
The guided tour by the American Air Force of all of our most secret places where you can stay as long as you want, take as many pictures as you want, and Biden will lie for you.
First, we didn't know about it.
Then it was a—this is a year ago—then it was a weather balloon.
Then it was, yes, an intelligence balloon, but there was bad weather, as if the Chinese don't have bad weather equipment.
Again, if they don't, we're in good shape.
Finally, it was, yeah, they were getting pictures, but they have all this anyway.
And then it was, we can't knock them down on American soil to find out what they have, because America doesn't have any empty land.
How we did nuclear tests, I can't quite figure, but... I mean, flying over... We knocked it out once, it was like over the Atlantic Ocean after it finished the whole thing.
We don't have any empty land in Montana.
How's there empty land in New Jersey?
That's where Jimmy Hoffa's buried.
I could find places for him in New... Even in New York, I could find a few little places where we could knock it away.
But in any event, he waited until they got out over the ocean.
Now, this is just a possibility.
He would make the call.
They'd say, this is Mr. Z. They show him a picture and they have a big Mr. Z on it.
You know, Mr. Z, Mr. Z. It's not, don't call him Putin.
That's not Mr. Z. And then he'd say, Mr. Z, can I knock the plane down now?
Oh, the balloon.
Yeah, the weather balloon.
Of course it's a weather balloon.
Of course.
Of course.
Oh, yes, I'm still making interest.
Yeah, thank you.
And then he knocked it down.
There goes the balloon.
Theoretically, on the first anniversary, somebody spotted a balloon the other day, but it turns out that it seems like it was a mistake.
I don't know if I believe that.
They lied about the other one for three days first.
The Chinese are not like the Islamic terrorists.
They're not like, uh, uh, uh, anniversary driven, you know, like Ben, uh, Benghazi happened on the same, on the anniversary of September 11th.
And, uh, under Bush, we will like always heavily prepared everywhere on the 11th.
Of course, under Biden, we stopped because we had a, uh, Islamic, um, we had a president who wouldn't let us use Islamic extremist terrorism as a description of our enemy.
We had to call them... I don't even know what... I mean, that was before we got into the pronoun business.
We had to call them misguided people who were trying to kill us.
What was that guy's middle name?
I wonder which side he's working for.
What's his middle name?
Israeli once told me.
A very, very influential Israeli once told me they know what side Biden is working for.
Oh, I was thinking of the previous...
Prince Obama.
What's his middle name?
Who?
Prince Obama?
Yeah.
Prince Obama.
What's his middle name?
I'm not saying anything.
You're not allowed to say that either.
That's his middle name.
You're not allowed to say it.
Because if you say it, you're emphasizing the fact that he's pro-Islamic.
Interesting.
That is so interesting.
You don't think he is?
I mean, you don't think it's odd that he wouldn't let us He wouldn't let us say the name of our enemy who were killing our young men and women?
Islamic extremists.
I mean, I don't call them just Islamic.
I understand that most Islamists are not terrorists.
God forbid they were.
I mean, the whole world would be terrorist then.
But it's more than just two people.
And it isn't defined.
Not every German was a Nazi.
Bingo.
But we still call them Nazi.
By all means, not every Chinese person is communist.
In fact, it may be less than 10%.
They told us what they're doing.
Osama bin Laden wrote about it.
We're not like making this up.
No, no.
It's very clear who they are.
They don't have a problem describing themselves as our enemy.
He has a problem saying they're our enemy, which doesn't it mean he has a problem being our president and protecting us?
Yes.
Did he do a very poor job of protecting us?
Yes.
Did we have a major war that he sort of created with the Taliban and in Syria?
Yes.
Did we have one under Trump?
No.
Did Putin look at him and say, you're a little wussy, I'm going to attack onto you?
Yes.
Did he look at Trump and say, I'm not going to attack?
Yes.
Did he look at Biden and say, you're even a bigger wussy than Bush and the other guy, and I'm going to attack onto you because he attacked under Bush?
Sorry, I love George W. Bush, too, but he did attack under you.
Yeah.
And you didn't do anything about Georgia.
Georgia.
Oh, God.
The establishment got you a little nervous there, right?
Then we attacked under Prince Obama.
Crimea.
And we stuck up for the Ukraine.
Crimea.
We just didn't bother to give him guns.
As the crooked president of Ukraine, who no one asked how much of a bribe did he get when Biden dealt with him, because he did and nobody wants to ask the question, and Zelensky is covering it up.
He told me that Trump was much better to him than, of course, he was sort of sucking me up because Trump was in the White House at the time.
Trump was much better to him than Obama.
Obama kept encouraging him But expected him to win with slingshots against the Russians because he would never give him real weapons.
Seems like we're doing that again, but... So we'll take a short break and we'll be right back.
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.

We're back, and among other things, we are now going through an amended, I think it's an amended version of Russiagate 3.
My good friend Miranda Devine wrote an article today in which she describes this whole situation Which Smirnoff, not the vodka, the FBI high-level most valuable informant who they were afraid to give up any information on a year ago because he would be immediately killed and had never been inaccurate with them and had made the most money of any informant of the FBI, Smirnoff is now indicted for lying about the Bidens.
Uh, even though they had that information for several years and not only didn't indict him, but they didn't, um, they didn't disclose the information.
Um, so they're now using this as somehow, uh, some kind of cover.
This is another Russian disinformation thing.
Uh, affects the whole, I don't know.
What are the facts?
Sure.
Doesn't affect the 3.
Something million that was laundered to Biden's company that I have the records of that we got from that actually come from the Latvian government.
It doesn't, doesn't affect that.
Doesn't affect any of the money that came from China or the, the, the, um, the numerous times that might met with and talk to.
The criminals that Hunter was getting money from, including his own recording that Hunter made of his father's knowledge of his foreign dealings, Joe Biden's knowledge of the foreign dealings.
It doesn't affect the testimony of 10, 12 witnesses.
My goodness.
And could it be the FBI doing what they've been doing from the very beginning, which is this disastrous, unbelievable, corrupt cover-up for Joe Biden?
I mean, they knew the hard drive was real and entertained all kinds of rumors that it was Russian disinformation, even though they had a report to the contrary.
They kept that private for 17 months so that Trump could get defeated.
So she refers to this as Russiagate 3.
Russiagate 1 is that there was Russian collusion at all between Trump and the Russians over the election.
Turns out that is pretty much sealed off now.
That was paid for by Hillary Clinton.
Hillary Clinton put up bare minimum $1.1 million in a laundered payment to her lawyers, which actually violates the laws that they have They have unjustly tried to prosecute Trump for trying to prosecute Trump for 1.1 million to Ukraine isn't an illegal campaign contribution if the money money beyond the statute of limitations to To a person who claims that that you you did something inappropriate That's that's a camp that that's being prosecuted as a campaign contribution
But the 1.1 million that she hides as legal fees, that's actually a payoff in order to frame someone?
That isn't even more of a violation.
But Hillary is in the golden circle.
I'm in the golden circle.
I can do everything, anything.
I don't know.
Can they kill people?
I ask you.
So far, they've gotten away with everything else.
Would they also get away with murder?
What do you think?
Hillary murder?
Nah.
Lipstein's cameras just went out that night.
You know, that was really a combination of coincidences that really was a shame.
First, the guards were asleep.
Then the cameras weren't working, and then the guy watching the cameras wasn't watching.
You know, like, I'd like people to remember, because when Barr did this, he kind of hid any explanation thereof.
There may be an explanation for that, too, that somebody's never looked into.
Don't know if there is.
Don't know that there isn't.
I know there's something really bad going on with Barr.
I just don't know what it is.
When you have... I'm sure most of you have been in a place with a security center, like for a big building or a sensitive facility.
Prison, of course, it's very sensitive.
So there's a guy or guys or women sitting in a little booth, right?
They're looking at cameras.
See, I got a little monitor right here.
I'm looking at the monitor now, see?
Now, if I were at the Metropolitan Correction Center, which is right now closed because it's being redone, I'd be looking at a group of monitors.
And I think that night, and for the time he was there, I'd probably put his in the center because he was suspected of having attempted suicide already.
In fact, he had been in the hospital for attempted suicide.
Why they took him out is another interesting thing.
And he also had been attacked, right?
So he'd be like in this, and he was my most famous prisoner.
And surely if anything happened to him, I would get in trouble more than anything else.
So he'd be like, if I was going to look at anything, I'd be looking at his cell.
His camera wasn't working for some extended period of time.
Were the people watching the cameras sleeping too?
What was it like?
Well, maybe somebody came in there with sleeping powder and spread it around like the little fairy.
Went around.
Hmm.
And then somehow, even though those ceilings are pretty damn short, he figured out how to hang himself.
And they got rid of that body so fast, it was still warm, I think.
And then a very famous, world-famous car came along and said he didn't hang himself.
Hmm.
I wonder if they can get away with murder, too.
Well, they sure as hell get away with everything else.
So, this whole thing with this guy, I don't know.
I'm going to tell you the truth, and they pointed it out at the beginning, and God bless them.
They took my evidence, they put it aside, they wanted to go find other evidence, and they found him.
He was their evidence, not mine.
I don't know this guy.
I never met him.
I never vouched for him, nor do I attack him.
Do I think it's possible he's the victim of an FBI frame?
He may be the only guy in America who isn't.
That's exaggerating.
The only guy in America having to do with Trump that isn't.
We had an Air Force guy who burned himself outside of the American embassy over genocide in Gaza.
Geez, will you stop the garbage and the false news and the I mean, people go kill themselves over lies?
This is like communist propaganda.
There's no genocide going on in Gaza.
The killing of Gazan civilians has more to do with Hamas than it does with Israel.
Since they stick them in the line of fire, they put them in buildings so that they can protect themselves.
And all Israel is trying to do is to get rid of the people that have sworn to destroy them,
which if you didn't do it, you're crazy. So let's go back to politics. After the,
after this weekend, how much, how much stock do you put in polls for Vice President Ted?
Who's, you want to go through? Are you asking what the poll?
I think yeah, I remember they because they had this poll you want to you're asking that
CPAC.
Yeah.
And, uh, I like, I mean, I like, uh, um, Ben Carson.
I think they're kind of silly because only one guy, an election, you're, you're, you have a whole bunch of people.
So you take a poll to see, and they can be wrong if you do a wrong sample.
Yeah.
What's the use of a poll for vice president?
One guy, what are we going to poll Trump?
Mr. Trump, this is Nielsen calling.
We have five names here.
Would you tell us who you prefer for vice president?
That would be the one poll.
Who's leading?
Who does Trump say he's picking?
That's all that matters.
So Vivek and Noam tied.
I don't know her.
I love Vivek.
I like Ben Carson.
I think Ben Carson would be great.
And I also think Vivek would be a solid choice.
I don't know, Noam.
What do you think, Mayor?
I guess people are more curious what your thoughts are than mine.
I like, I like, I like, I would like, I'd like Ben first.
Then I haven't gone beyond that, really.
Yeah.
I like Byron Donalds.
Yep.
Thought he did really well over the weekend defending Trump over the comments about about black supporting him, which is now Somehow this is racist that he's saying that blacks are supporting it.
Yeah, they're trying to make that out of nothing.
You know, I think they're actually getting his black vote for him because the attacks are so stupid.
On one hand, they're the ones claiming how black men are so unfairly treated by law enforcement in this country.
On the other hand, Trump kind of points something out along those lines, unfair treatment, and he's a racist.
Look, they clap for me too.
Oh yeah, the standing ovation.
Yeah, and it was mostly a black crowd.
I mean, I know why they did it.
I've been in law enforcement long enough to know why they did it.
He's absolutely right.
They identify.
100%.
And they were yelling things to make it clear why they were doing it.
I mean, I'll tell you what, I can't tell you exactly what they were yelling at, but the name Fannie was in there, and there were all kinds of things they wanted done to her.
Which they wanted done to me when I was a prosecutor.
And a large population in that... And at that time, they didn't know what a big, total scoundrel and liar she is.
They really have no shame in the way they lie and the things they do.
They don't even... It's nobody paying attention to what we played now twice.
When Fanny, Fanny, Fat Fanny says that she got the money and a lot of it from her campaign.
...whole life.
When I took out a large amount of money on my first campaign, I kept some of the cash of that.
Like, to tell... Play it again.
...whole life.
When I took out a large amount of money on my first campaign, I kept some of the cash of that.
Like... Where'd you take the money from?
Is she admitting a crime?
Well, I mean, unless she means something different than what it sounds...
I don't understand why nobody's asking her to clarify that.
She took money, a whole lot of money from her first campaign and kept it.
And that's the reason for the cash.
You're not, you know, I don't think you're allowed to keep money from your campaign.
But of course, Georgia is Georgia.
I didn't, I know it's corrupt, but is it really that corrupt?
So Ukraine is now at a, um, It's now at a two-year point, and there was an article done in one of the papers I read over the weekend about how it's really not a stalemate.
Ted, how is it not a stalemate?
which are we here here i just got this map by the way i'm hearing from good sources
zelensky's uh polling numbers tanking yeah Just in, just tanking.
Gee, maybe he'll turn state's evidence against Biden.
Are you, and by the way, I'm... And all the... Your friend Kolomoisky.
Yeah, maybe he could tell us all about Kolomoisky.
It would give him a break.
Does this make sense to you?
I'm told he's actually being held in prison in Ukraine as it's actually a way to protect him.
Because he's wanted by American authorities and others.
Do you think there's any truth?
He would be wanted all over the world because he was one of the top world-class money launderers, which means any countries that aren't crooked, he would have violated their laws.
I mean, in Switzerland or in Cyprus or couple, he would get, you know, the hero of the year award,
but in an honest place, which we would not count America now as, they would want him. In America,
I mean, we didn't even need him. We had 170 suspicious activity reports against the Biden family, a
singular record that even Trump's secretary of the treasury kept hidden. Nobody asked him?
Nobody. So you think there might be you some truth to that.
I'll get you the more I've been, you know... Oh, about Soros' keeping him in protective custody?
Yeah, like as a way to protect him from other... I don't think he... He's one tough son of a gun.
You know, the whole other story of Kolomoisky is he was a hero of the Fourteen War.
He led... I don't know if... Is that true?
He led a whole army there and defeated the Russians.
No, I mean, these guys are strange.
They can be the biggest patriots and crooked as hell.
Yeah.
That's why I know a lot of the money stolen.
Yeah.
I mean, I don't know why we want to play a game and not be honest about it.
If you are an American politician and you know Ukraine and you know that $10 billion is going to Ukraine, you know they're putting their hands on a third of it.
Bare minimum.
We've got outstanding, and this is now Six years old, seven years old.
Three billion dollars in foreign aid and we don't know what happened to it under Prince Obama.
And the Ukrainian police would describe the Obama administration as, they said, we feel like we're a cash cow for them.
They also said, they're never going to open up the offshore accounts because it could be a lot of your people that are in trouble.
I said, they're not my people.
He said, oh, they're a couple of Republicans too.
That's interesting.
So it's... I don't know if he was, like, jerking with me, or... Right?
But this is the way it's been for two years, just about.
I mean, that's not a stalemate.
Two years it's been like that.
The red part, obviously, is what Russia has taken.
Well, I'm also... Some they've annexed, some they've taken, some they've officially and legally annexed, and some they haven't.
But that's about 20% About 22% of the land mass of Ukraine, and it gives them one of the strategic things they want, which is a straight corridor from the Russian border to Crimea.
Right here.
to Crimea.
Right here.
See, that was annexed in 2014 under Prince Obama.
Yeah, none of this was, not none, not an inch of this was taken under or expanded under
the president that Putin is afraid of.
The one that the Democrats say is going to destroy democracy when in fact he's going to save it.
Well, Ukraine's going to move their fighting age.
The best thing that can happen to Ukraine and it will save thousands of Ukrainian lives is his election and come to some reasonable, sensible, Conclusion of what is going to go on like this for five years so that everybody can make a lot of crooks can make a lot of money That's the reason it's going on now.
It's going on now and that's why this last bit of money When you tell me that this money is not to win the war Then what the hell and what the hell is it for just to have people die?
Well, in Ukraine, the fighting age, as you know, is actually, it's interesting, it's different than us.
Culturally, it's actually 27.
You can't be drafted until you're 27 years old.
They're now going to, there's calls and I'm told they're going to move it soon down to 25.
Well, they haven't.
People don't want to say this because the image of bravery was so strong in the first year, which was true, but they've got an awful lot of draft evaders now.
and they have people paying others.
That's right.
Sort of like that goes back to our civil war.
They've got people paying others to serve for them.
Men between the ages of 18 to 60 are actually stopped.
They're not, as of now, right now in Ukraine, they're restricted with their movement.
You have to have your military documents on you.
And the way I'm told is that they are stopping men, cars with men in it, right?
They stop.
The military will stop.
And if you don't have your papers, they'll send you right to the front.
They'll send you right to the front line that day.
Yeah, well, you can't live like that for too long.
You can't live like that.
What I'm told is that he's losing support internally.
However, the international community, for whatever reason, and the media keep propping this guy up.
Georgia Maloney and Justin Trudeau both went to visit him.
I don't understand how those two could be in the same room.
I mean, did he ask for any money?
I mean, for himself?
No, he did.
Of course he did.
The guy can't help himself.
That's probably the first thing.
Don't you understand who he is?
You know more than I do.
Don't you understand who he is?
You know who he is.
He is a creature of Kolomoisky, created by Kolomoisky.
Go this way.
Go that way.
Go this way.
Why the hell does the guy never wear a suit?
Because he wants to look like a soldier.
He is not a soldier.
Gee, uh, uh, Vladimir, uh, Vladimir, or whatever the hell your name is, I'm not fooled by the fact that you're a soldier.
Will you stop dressing up like Kay Guevara or something?
You're an actor, a comedian, and a lawyer, okay?
You did a pretty good job of holding the Russians off from taking your whole country.
You've done a really lousy job of expelling them.
Now, is that you?
Is it that we don't give you the arms?
Or do you steal the money?
Or is it a combination of all of those things?
But it is quite apparent that you don't have a plan to win that war.
You're not even telling us that if you get this money, you'll win the war.
I mean, you should tell us how much money you need to win the war, and then we can make a decision, right?
You want the 60 billion just to keep going?
So... We're told that... If we give you the 60 billion, Mr. Comedian, what part of that are you going to get back?
What's your plan?
I know Dum Dum doesn't have a plan, but that doesn't mean that you shouldn't have a plan.
Dumb Dumb's plan, this is great for Dumb Dumb.
This is money's coming out to you constantly.
Except China, there's no other country where he took down more bribes than your country.
And do you realize how Biden's crimes, unlike the old-fashioned crooked politician who, you know, would get money for a contract or this or that, how this goes right to national security.
Right to the heart of our national security.
These are crimes, and these actions that Biden takes affect our national security.
They involve China.
They involve Ukraine and Russia.
He got paid by both, remember.
We don't know how much he really got from Russia.
He got the 3.5 from Butterina, and nobody, nobody ever mentions that she never shows up on any list.
Every time they Every time they sanction oligarchs, they leave off the two that did business with Hunter Biden.
And we've gone way past them in terms of influence, closeness to Putin, dollar amount, way past.
But there isn't a person in Washington that's willing to tell you that.
And now if we let them sit Sit there as a nincompoop for this long.
Even Democrats let him sit there like a nincompoop.
But which one?
Which one?
Biden.
No, no, which war?
Both of them, right?
No, I'm talking about his complete mental incapacity.
Okay.
We allow ourselves, I mean, that isn't a political matter.
The Democrats should go to hell for that.
They let a president function who doesn't know who he is on the theory that Harris is worse Well, thank ever to her too.
I mean, if she's that bad, I mean, I don't think she, I don't think Harris is that, I think Harris, we may not know how stupid she is and we'll find out.
She does sound like she's pretty damn lightheaded.
Ukraine is a small country.
Russia is a big country.
I will say she was great insurance for him.
But you know, on this map, Ukraine looks like a bigger country.
Doesn't the Washington swamp mayor benefit from having a president that has no idea who he is?
Benefit from a country?
A mentally incapacitated president?
They don't benefit from a country to make it destroyed.
How do they benefit from all those people that die of fentanyl?
How do you have no conscience?
You don't have a conscience about this at all?
You don't think about those people in Afghanistan that all died that didn't have to?
Even Trump wouldn't have them in the president.
If he had a sane person, Yeah, you don't think there may be a day in which we lose thousands and thousands because we gave away the Bagram airbase?
It's a hell of a risk.
You talk about Europe and who protects Europe or not.
Taking away that airbase if Russia decides to do something in Europe?
Wow!
And nobody says anything to Dodo?
Sad.
Well, it's really, we're really sort of coming to more serious points in the election when we get past Super Tuesday.
I don't, I still, I still do not see how this guy makes it to the, I don't see how he makes it to the Democrat convention.
You know, he's got a State of the Union speech coming up, Ted, in about two weeks.
Oh gosh.
Is he going to make it?
Is he going to be able to do a full speech?
How long?
We need to, we need to put a place, a wager on the length of the speech.
We'll do a... He's gotten away with them.
Yeah.
The State of the Union speeches, they seem to have orchestrated the best for him.
I mean, compared to normal presidents, they're terrible, but compared to his worst moments, Compared to his worst moments, they're manageable.
So I don't know.
We'll have to see.
Because if he can't be brought up to that level again, then they really have to take him out.
They decided against having him make a talk to the country about the war in Ukraine to see if he could get support for it.
They actually made a deliberate decision that he might make a serious mistake.
So if he would make a serious mistake sitting down at a make-believe Oval Office, which is what they do for him, I don't know why.
Maybe they can whisper in his ear that way or something.
You know, when he's sitting there, they did that at the beginning.
They made up a make-believe Oval Office.
I don't really know exactly why, but it has to do with the fact that we have a demented president.
But they Would not let him give a speech explaining the situation in Ukraine and trying to drum up support for it.
I guess maybe they're saving all his energy for... So I'm looking up the length of last year's so we can get an over-under.
Well, I'm going to cut the soccer time a little short tonight because I have a cold, as you can see.
And get a little rest so that we can be ready for the battle tomorrow because we know it's going to continue.
Tomorrow is going to be Michigan.
We'll be on and we'll be giving you results from down here in Palm Beach.
And we may have some people live in Michigan.
We're working on the details.
If we can't get a live report from the party headquarters.
Excellent.
I would like to try to get that.
And we will follow up on all of these stories.
Please remember in your prayers the family of Lake and Riley.
Who didn't have to die, gets added to the list of those who died because of the, because of deliberate government policy of open border.
This guy would not be in any other United States, not a criminal from Venezuela.
He would have been thrown out in a country governed by honest, decent people.
I'm sorry to the Riley family, to all of her friends in Georgia.
I'm embarrassed that my state contributed to it.
If I were the mayor now, whoever did contribute to it would no longer have their jobs, and they would never do it again.
Ever.
And I don't think they would have done it if I were the mayor.
How do you like that?
I'm looking at her picture.
It's a sweet, sweet young girl.
I want her to be a nurse.
I want her to help people.
Life cut off by what did Trump originally call them?
And he got, he got criticized way back in 15.
Animals.
Only an animal kills a little girl like that.
I'm sorry.
If you can't take it, don't take it.
And the only thing insulting about that is that I love animals.
So it's a, you don't even think you should call them animals.
They're not good enough.
So tough to follow, and... So along with the people of Israel who we've been praying for, people of the United States, of course, a special prayer for her family.
God bless her.
We're going to get through this, and we're going to be stronger as a result of it, but gosh, how many more sacrifices are going to be necessary before we do, God?
God bless America, and we'll see you tomorrow night.
Amen.
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.
