America's Mayor Live (E369): ELECTION 2024—America at a Crossroads
|
Time
Text
Good evening, this is Rudy Giuliani with America's Mayor Live.
And I think things are progressing.
Things are progressing in the effort of the American people getting the information that has been kept from them.
Some cases, four years, some cases, five years, some cases a year.
Don't know there's ever been a time in our history that our government, and I don't even like calling it our government, I like calling it the Biden regime, where a regime has suppressed as much information as this regime, and let's call it what it is, has engaged in massive, organized, conspiratorial censorship to hide information, And to utilize really Marxist methods of propaganda.
What do I mean by that?
Changing the meaning of words, or flipping the meaning of words.
Orwell's book, 1984, has many things in it, but the one that probably is the most relevant to today, and tomorrow it might be something different, is the idea that Just call it the opposite and people finally won't know.
So, for example, the Department of Peace in Orwell's fictional government was the War Department, the one that was making war against the adjoining state.
But it was called the Department of Peace, and they would Say very religious things and very kind things and probably put out phony numbers like Hamas did, which finally, thank goodness, has been proven and we're going to cover that today.
Don't know that ABC, CBS, NBC, do I have to name the rest of them?
The group that would be considered America's Pravda.
Now, for those of you who didn't live through the Cold War, Pravda was the national arm of the Soviet government that printed the fiction.
It wrote what the government told it to write, directly worked for the government, and we're all card-carrying devoted members of the ideology that has probably killed more human beings than any ideology in history, communism.
China alone, 80 million people.
Before we get to Russia and Cuba, Venezuela, and who knows in Eastern Europe, my goodness.
All those years that we don't even have numbers.
So that's where we are today.
And that's why this show exists.
This show exists to show you things and demonstrate things to you that you're not getting.
We're kind of like an undercover operation here.
Not just me.
I'm glad it's not just me, because I wouldn't get very far.
It's me.
It's people like Steve Bannon.
It's people like Eric Bolling.
It's people like Greg Smith.
It's people like Mr. Schmidt, who I interviewed with yesterday.
It's people like Mr. Salcedo, who I told told him I'm in love with him.
I meant that, you know, in a Nowadays, when you say that, one never knows how it's interpreted.
I meant that in a platonic way.
He's my favorite.
He comes on at four o'clock right after my show, so I'm kind of all pent up when I'm finished.
And then I look at him and I say, boy, he's got more energy than anyone.
This man believes in America and he does the same thing I do as best he can.
He jigs out the information you're not getting.
So yesterday, Tony Bobulinski testified.
It may be that Tony Bobulinski is the most important witness against a president ever.
Maybe John Dean?
Probably not.
What John Dean testified to, in fact, is so minor, in comparison to Bobulinski, it's absurd.
I mean, I'm not even sure I remember what Watergate was about.
It was a group of people, they went into the Democratic headquarters, They stole some documents.
Documents had no meaning.
It was an election that got decided by a landslide, ultimately.
There was no reason to do it.
It was a silly thing to do.
If you believe the evidence, Nixon was embarrassed, and Nixon covered it up.
He didn't make any money.
He didn't sell out America.
He didn't get money from Ukraine.
Or from Soviet Russia?
Or from Red China?
He didn't have a son who was getting incredible amounts of money for no reason that anyone could possibly... In all this time, with all of this controversy, have the Biden defenders, the people who hate America, Have they cited any reason for any of that money?
I mean, you gotta come up with something.
I thought I really prosecuted an extraordinarily big case when I was about 29 years old.
I think I was 29.
This was back when you had to wear morning coats in court and wigs.
It's true.
I go that far back.
I prosecuted this congressman.
The congressman got convicted, damn well took a bribe.
I'm very proud of the case because it was the first time my name appeared on the cover of the New York Times and the case said my cross-examination was brilliant.
That's the last time they wrote a good article about me.
And it also said I was like Perry Mason and I wore him down and he broke down on the witness stand and he confessed.
Almost never really happens except on that show, Perry Mason.
And so I was really, now that I look back on it, I'm embarrassed.
Why?
You know what the bribe was in that case?
It was a bribe to get an airline route for a company called Florida Atlantic Airlines.
I believe it was to the Bahamas.
They wanted to beat out another airline and Congressman Podell was in charge of the CAB committee and they gave him 45 grand.
45 grand.
45 grand!
Would be change to the Biden people.
Just the mayor of Moscow's wife gave Hunter, this is absolutely 100% document.
I showed you many times on my podcast and elsewhere, the documents.
The committee has shown you the documents.
I mean, gosh almighty, we can send you the documents if you want.
The Biden company.
Got $3.5 million from one of Putin's best friends.
And that miserable liar who sits in the White House during the 2020 debate said that Trump was the one who got money from Russia.
Knowing that he got at least, and I'm going to tell you for sure, even though I can't prove this, but okay.
You're trying to put me in jail anyway.
Put me in jail again.
He got a lot more than $3.5 million.
But $3.5 million and $45,000?
And Biden was the vice president then.
and $45,000? And he was, Biden was the vice president then.
His son got $3.5 million from Putin's very, very close associate, who was the wife of the
mayor of Moscow, who conspired with Putin to get her husband thrown out and subsequently became
the richest woman in China and the single most important female oligarch.
He is the only one of the oligarchs, and some of them have nothing compared to her, who hasn't been sanctioned by Biden.
Five times sanctions have been applied by Biden.
Five times, the three people in Russia who did business with the Bidens have not been on the list.
Do I need more to prosecute bribery?
If I did, I never would have convicted Fat Tony Salerno or Michael Milken or two Nazis who went off to the death that they deserve.
In other words, I'd be like a stupid, incompetent lawyer.
If I couldn't do that conviction.
You don't even concentrate on that one very much because there actually are so many better cases than that.
But that alone is enough to throw the bum out of the White House.
Oh, by the way, and to put him where he belongs.
Now, I am not a mean man.
I'm not a cruel man.
And I'm not a vindictive man.
I do not think that Biden should be placed in general population in a federal prison.
I would think there'd be a nice nursing home-type facility for him, oh, let's say at Lewisburg.
Lewisburg is a nice prison.
I'd even be willing to lend my expertise as a former head of the Bureau of Prisons to find a place that would be suitable for a former president that was the most crooked in our history.
Now, it can't be, like, superfine.
We're not going to torture the guy.
I mean, first of all, he wouldn't do any good.
He wouldn't even know he was being tortured.
So, Bob Alinsky comes back again.
Now remember, Bob Alinsky came forward at a time of great, of great moment for us.
I had put out the hard drive with the help of Steve Bannon and with the assent finally after some pressure of the New York Post.
And it had broken as a gigantic story.
How could this man get elected?
Look at all these allegations.
I mean, the hard drive was kind of difficult in the sense that it came out at the last minute with a month to go, because really it takes about a year to analyze the number of crimes there are that many.
I've never done a really good analysis of how many crimes, largely because crimes can be stated and restated in different ways.
If I were to say it shows 100 major federal crimes, I would not be able to be contradicted.
And some of them actually didn't get discovered until, many of them didn't get discovered after the election because we spent most of our time being castigated, attacked.
The present president of the United States, during the last debate with President Trump, deliberately went out of his way to name me twice as a
Russian pawn.
I don't know any Russians.
I've... I've...
I was in Russia.
I was in Russia in 2004 or five.
They probably can open the investigation when I tell you that I met Putin twice.
But you would have to assume That 18 years before I plotted this with him because I never saw him again after that.
But in any event, here's the worst part.
When Biden said that, the FBI had had the hard drive for almost a year and they had verified it.
Meaning they had scientifically determined that it was Hunter Biden's hard drive.
Yet they went ahead and helped to support.
The Biden administration fraud with 51 intelligence people, all of whom are traitors, that it was Russian disinformation when they knew it wasn't because it had already been dismissed as Russian disinformation by the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
Now, let's make it worse.
The head of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, knowing that, supported their allegation.
The Attorney General, Fat Bill Barr, sat back, probably with the hard drive under his big fat ass, and did nothing.
Sorry I'm talking that way, but I want to give you the point.
This man has a lot to answer for.
He's got a lot to answer for.
He's the Attorney General of the United States.
He has in his possession for seven months evidence of massive crimes by a man who's about to be President of the United States.
And he hides them.
He hides it.
Not only that, he misleads us.
Personally misled me.
I submitted all my evidence to them.
I had no idea there was a hard drive that 100% proved everything I was saying.
And went beyond that and proved other crimes.
So the problem here is, had it been handled the way a government of laws is supposed to handle things, or the way I hope we handle things in most of our history, there was plenty of time to indict and convict this murderer who is in the White House.
Before he got to the White House, this evidence started to come out in 2018 and 2019.
By 2019, there was a racketeering case already.
So Bob Belinsky yesterday laid out one case that I'm going to explain to you.
There are so many, and it's really hard because I understand these cases are a bit complicated, but I want you to follow this with me.
It relates to the oft repeated statement by Biden, which when you first heard it, if you didn't think he was lying, I would suggest you turn off the show now because you're going to have difficulty following it because you can be too dumb.
So if you are smart enough to follow this, I mean, if you're smart enough to realize that when Joe Biden said, I never talked to my son about his business or my brother or my brothers ever, ever, ever in 35 years that he was lying, then I really suggest there's no hope for you.
Do what you want.
Nobody's going to be able to help you.
Remedial education, maybe?
If they have such a thing, it would help.
But the moment he said, I didn't know anything about my son's foreign businesses or, I mean, but Joe, you fool him all the way to China.
Just you and him.
And you tell us that you're very close and you love him.
And he's the smartest man you know.
Gosh, you must really know dopey people.
He's the smartest man you know.
And you never asked him about, gee, why are you going to China?
Like if somebody went to China, if you have an airplane, you know, like Carrie and these guys, right?
And somebody wants a trip and they're going to come to China with you and they're your son or your nephew or don't you?
Hey, Jack, why are you going to China?
I'm not saying nothing.
I'm not saying nothing.
How many hours is it on a private plane to China?
I don't know.
I did it once coming back from China and we stopped in Anchorage and I got back in time for the Super Bowl.
I remember I left in the morning of the same day, but I got the benefit of getting an extra day back.
It seemed to me it took a day to come back, like a whole day.
And it was a, it wasn't a direct flight, but it was almost a direct flight because we went over, we went over Russia.
Interesting.
Went over Russia.
We went over snow, snow, snow, snow, snow, snow.
Um, and, um, then we almost went over the pole and then we, then we, then we kind of fell down in Anchorage and came and I can't, and I was there just with a partner of mine.
And I mean, we talked about all kinds of things.
We had to, or we would have gone stir-crazy.
So he never talked to him about his foreign dealings, he said.
However, however, Mr. Bobulinski testified that for one hour or two, I have to go back to the testimony yesterday, for one hour or two, he sat in the Beverly Hills Hotel, With President, well, then former Vice President Biden.
And for one hour or two hours, they discussed all the Chinese foreign business in great detail.
And it was quite apparent that Joe was, he had already seen a contract in which it said 10% 2H for the big guy.
And it was quite apparent that Joe was the guy who was going to get the 10% Joe was the big guy.
He testified to that.
Then he testified to the money that they were going to get.
Then he testified to the money they got.
Then he testified to the money that Joe got.
And this was right before the election of 2020.
And the FBI interviewed him once very quickly and said, we're going to come back to you to go over the details.
To this day, he has not heard from the FBI.
They just assume he's not telling the truth?
Why?
The man is a retired Navy officer, I believe captain, which is the equivalent of a colonel in the Army.
He has an honorable discharge, which is a hell of a lot better than Hunter, who got kicked out for being a degenerate drug addict.
It's a hell of a lot better than Joe Biden, who got kicked out of the 1980 election for being a liar and perjurer and plagiarist.
He just about got kicked out of law school for that, too.
He got his way back in?
In other words, the man has a record of impeccable honesty, and Joe Biden has a record of being a psychotic liar.
Hard for me to think of anything he ever said that was true.
But in any event, Bob Belinsky is a witness.
You just can't throw a witness aside.
Oh, I don't like his testimony.
I mean, suppose they said, I'm not going to take Sammy the Bull's testimony.
I mean, Sammy the Bull killed all these people, and now he's saying he killed them with John Gotti, but I'm not going to take his testimony.
What if you take his testimony and you weigh it with the other testimony?
And by the way, isn't what Bob Walensky is saying absolutely logical?
The only conclusion you could come to with China giving them the Biden family $21 million in four years?
For what?
No one has yet answered the for what, except I'll tell you who's answered it.
Bob Belinski's answered it.
And we have that answer, Andrew.
They got it for Joe Biden's influence.
That's bribery.
You see, when you pay someone money so that you can have a special relationship influence from a United States senator, United States congressman, president, for time immemorial under English and American law, it's the crime of bribery.
They did it so often, it's a racketeering crime.
Bobulinski also testified that the meeting included Hunter and James, Joe's brother.
James, Hunter's brother and his original bag man.
His original bag man.
Ah, the bag man.
Now here's where you get into a very interesting juxtaposition where somebody's got to get prosecuted for perjury.
You've got to pick the Biden.
So, pick the Biden.
That could be like a game.
Board game.
Pick the Biden liar.
Because he could be a different liar every week.
We probably could do a four or five season thing on this.
It was Hunter in the kitchen with the knife, right?
It'd be like clue.
Yeah, that kind of thing.
Or who done it?
Which one of the Chinese prostitutes was it?
You know, that kind of thing.
So in this case, Bobulinski says there was a meeting with Joe Biden.
Hunter Biden says there was a meeting with Joe Biden.
There are texts confirming the meeting with Joe Biden.
That's on one side.
On the other side, James Biden says there was no such meeting.
It never took place.
But one of those guys got to get prosecuted, right?
I don't know, it sounds to me like three?
One?
Sounds to me like James should have been arrested yesterday.
I know if James Biden were Eric Trump, He wouldn't have just been arrested yesterday.
They'd have sent the FBI agents who they now dress up as Gestapo troops with machine guns to go arrest people who are protesting abortions.
And they would show up at his house.
They'd rip the door open.
They'd frighten the living daylights out of his kids.
They'd put him in leg irons like poor Mr. Navarro.
And they'd take him off.
Probably not even bothering to interview anyone to find out if it's true.
Because almost all of those have turned into like when they came in the door of my house and raided my house and a year and a half later wrote a letter to the grand jury saying there was no evidence I committed a crime.
What the hell did you break down my door for?
Because I was Trump's lawyer.
That's why.
You see, that's what they do in Argentina.
That's what they do in, I'm sorry, in Venezuela.
That's what they do in China.
We don't do that in America before we had this dictator.
So Bob Belinsky's testimony yesterday just shouldn't be dismissed.
There's a very, very discreet set of crimes that he laid out there.
He also went into great detail as to the kind of illegal businesses they were doing With China.
Also, you know, we all know that Joe got the money because it makes no sense that he didn't.
But I'd say, strangely, he didn't get any of that money from China.
Somehow, anywhere from $21 to $31 million went from the very, very top of the Chinese government to Hunter Biden and his family, James, Sarah Biden, the Biden kids, The only one probably who didn't get anything is the granddaughter that he refuses to acknowledge in maybe one of the crueler parts of his personality and his wife's.
Wouldn't the fact that you paid that amount of money to his family constitute a crime?
I'll just think about it for a moment.
Let's go back to the Cold War for a second.
Let's go back to When the Soviet Union was our enemy and we could blow up the world.
Suppose it came out, let's pick two different presidents, so we have a Republican and a Democrat.
Suppose it came out that John Kennedy's family, not John Kennedy, but his family, the people closest to him, his brother Robert, who he was with every day.
Or let's say in the case of Ronald Reagan, his daughter, got $21 million from Khrushchev or Gorbachev or The Russian intelligence, the Russian communist intelligence organizations.
What do you think would have happened?
They'd have been prosecuted for bribery and they'd have been put in jail.
I don't know, we might have executed them.
I mean, the country would have accepted it.
You can't have a president whose family is compromised with astounding amounts of money by our enemy, because then you'll question Oh, like I do.
Why did Biden, when the paint wasn't even dry in the Oval Office, get rid of the Bagram Air Base?
The Bagram Air Base is 400 miles from China.
It's one of our best air bases.
We had just spent billions to refurbish it.
In a possible war with China, it would be an unbelievable Asset.
Losing it is a tremendous defeat for us and a tremendous victory for China.
Gosh, worth $21 million.
Is it unfair of me to say I believe there's a connection between the two things?
Because I cannot conceive of an American president that would give up an airbase 400 miles from China for any reason.
Except a corrupt one.
I don't know if he was even that demented then.
I mean, later on, he now we're told is too demented and senile to stand trial for compromising classified material.
That he can't remember his son's Date or year of birth within five years.
He can't remember when he left the vice presidency.
How can he be president?
How does her, if he's a patriot, which he's not, how does he leave that investigation with a sentence that says, well, although I can't determine that I can prosecute him because he's non compass menace, basically.
He shouldn't have his hand near the button that could blow up the world.
He certainly shouldn't be president when there are two major wars going on, either one of which could threaten to become a world war.
We do have a 25th amendment to remove presidents like that.
Why do we lack the courage to do it?
And why do we leave our country with a man?
I mean, all Anyone of goodwill, sound mind, and good eyesight knows he's demented.
Now you've got the prosecutor telling you he is.
The guy is letting him off the hook who never should have let him off the hook.
How do you move on from there and keep him a man who could destroy the world?
Well, we'll be back in a few moments To talk about the new contest we're beginning, and tonight will be the first entry, because sometime between now and the end of the year, we're going to pick the truly dumbest member of Congress.
And tonight, we will have an entry in that race.
And let's just hear a little bit from Mr. Bobulinski's testimony going into the break.
It's tempting.
either but is there anything that anyone said up here that you want to take about
55 seconds to respond to? It's tempting I mean my biggest appeal to everyone in
this room is I wish you would spend the time focusing on the fact that the
Chinese Communist Party infiltrated the White House of the United States of
America through the Biden family.
I don't say that lightly.
It's not a joke.
I was willing to die for this country as was my father and both my grandfathers and my brother.
This is serious, serious stuff.
We should be asking how that happened.
Take the Biden name and the Biden family completely out of it.
How did the Chinese Communist Party infiltrate the White House of the United States of America?
Let's start there, focus on those facts, what they did, how they did it, why they used money, why they used private enterprises instead of military stuff and other stuff.
That is huge to our national security.
So I appreciate you yielding that time to me, Mr. Chairman.
Well, thank you, and I'll just... ...foundation delivers on its promise to do good and never forget the sacrifices America's greatest heroes have made for us.
Heroes who risked their lives to keep our communities and our country safe.
Heroes like United States Marine Corps Captain and pilot John Jeremy Sachs.
Captain Sachs sustained fatal injuries when his military aircraft crashed during training, killing him and five other service members.
He's remembered by loved ones as courageous, brilliant, and devoted to his career, family, and friends.
John is survived by his wife, Amber, who gave birth to their second daughter three months after his death.
Tunnel to Towers paid the mortgage on the family home for Amber and their two daughters.
The foundation has helped over 1,000 military and first responder families navigate the worst of times by removing the burden of a mortgage payment.
Our nation's heroes and their families need your help now more than ever.
Donate $11 a month to Tunnel to Towers at T2T.org.
T2T.org, that's T, the number two T.org, T2T.org.
Please, donate now.
Welcome back!
So, you heard Bob Bielinski, but what I'd like you to hear from Bob Bielinski, if we can get it, I'd like you to hear his comments on Raskin, And then I'd like to hear his comments on Congressman Ro Khanna,
who could be one of the bigger phonies in Congress, who left him out to dry
when he wanted to explain all of the connections that they have with the Communist Party.
Thank you.
So can we do that now or should I move on to another subject and we'll come back?
I'll come right back to it.
I got to tee up those videos.
Okay.
So let me, let me, uh, let me, let me, uh, then move on to, oh, let's say, are we, are we ready with AOC?
Oh, we got AOC.
All right.
So this is our entry.
for and you you know she would be on this list right yeah you know you mean obviously if i just said list the 10 dumbest members of congress um we got some new markers here the the person who doesn't know how many states make up the union uh or has no idea that there are like three different uh articles in the constitution with three different branches of government you'd realize that She was educated in the New York City school system by the New York Teachers Union, so she really was educated to be a communist, not an intelligent person.
But now you're going to find out just how dumb she really is.
And silly.
Shall we listen to stupid, silly AOC?
She is now trying to make the point that Mr. Bobulinski doesn't have any evidence that Joe Biden committed a crime.
Mr. Bobulinski was a colonel, or rather a captain in the United States Navy, who did deeply secret intelligence work.
A man of high intellect.
Something severely missing on his side of the table.
In fact, there may be no intellect there.
A quick question.
Simple.
Is it your testimony today that you personally witnessed President Joe Biden commit a crime?
I believe the fact that he was sitting with me while I was putting together a business deal.
Did you witness the president commit a crime?
Is it your testimony today?
Yes.
And what crime have you witnessed?
How much time do I have to go through it?
It is simple.
You name the crime.
Did you watch him steal something?
Corruption statutes, RICO and conspiracy.
What is it?
What is the crime, sir?
You asked me to answer the question.
I answered the question.
RICO, you're obviously not familiar with.
Excuse me, sir.
RICO is not a crime.
It is a category.
What is the crime?
It's a category of crimes that you're then charged under.
You have charges.
You have charges.
Sir, please name- You want me to name the exact statute under RICO?
Yes!
Well, it's funny.
In this committee room, everyone's not here.
There's over- One.
Gosh, I hope she was a better waitress.
I would like a hamburger with American cheese and bacon.
And here comes the pancakes.
I mean- First, first, Madam Representative, there's no such thing as categories of crime.
You don't get convicted of a category of crime.
If you do, you get released because it's not a crime.
And there is a crime called RICO.
I know it because I was one of the first ones never prosecuted and I prosecuted many of them.
You probably wouldn't know that because you have no knowledge of American history.
But he's quite correct.
RICO is a crime.
It's 18 United States Code section 1962.
As a member of Congress, that little number 18 should give you a hint that it's a crime because that's where all the crimes are under the book called 18 United States Code.
So when you see 18, my goodness, if you see 18 on a document, That comes to you get worried because somebody's investigating you for a crime.
Now, in addition to Rico, the first thing that he mentioned, corruption, the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act would apply to Joe and Hunter.
And certainly the third one that he mentioned, Pfizer.
I don't expect you to know Pfizer.
You're too damn stupid.
But Pfizer is the foreign agent Reporting Act, and it's the statute they convicted Manafort on.
The RICO statute, gosh almighty, I put a lot of people in jail for a hundred years for violating the RICO statute.
It's not only a crime, it's a pretty damn serious crime.
Fat Tony!
Very few people wouldn't know that RICO wasn't a crime.
I mean, you have to be like among the Could I ask a question, madam, whatever you are?
AOC?
Yeah, can you read?
No, no, seriously, can you read?
Doesn't mean because you went to a New York City school you can read.
Maybe half can read with the teachers union because they don't give you grades and they basically figure out how to get as much time off as possible.
I mean, that's why the pandemic was a disaster here in New York and destroyed the education of our children, dropped us like 10, 20% with other countries.
We're now down in the 20s and 30s in math and science, and we spend more money than any place in the world on our children, on our teachers.
You think that money goes to the kids?
Don't be naive.
Remember, Teachers Union is a very old union.
It was started by Marxists.
Remember, they want to take control of your kids right away.
What do you think they want to do this early education for?
You think early education is, like, for the benefit of the kids?
Teachers Union hasn't done anything for the benefit of the kids in 50 years.
When you see them doing something, do not ever think they're doing it for the benefit of the kids.
Look for the real motive.
The real motive is to get your kid away from you.
The earlier, the better.
They are following their master, Karl Marx, who recommends—recommendation accepted by Adolf Hitler and Joseph Stalin—that to really create a strong country, the state's got to get control of the kids at about two years old.
And then they can do all the mutilation they want to do without your permission.
They can decide the ones that are going to be involved in sex trafficking and the ones that are going to be artists and the ones that are going to be—but you don't—you've got nothing to say.
Just like the Democratic Party doesn't want you to have anything to say.
Like McAuliffe said, what was it, two years ago?
Parents shouldn't have anything to do with education.
What the hell do parents know about education?
It's only their kids.
They belong to us, the state!
That's right.
So quite a bit came out yesterday that was ignored by the Biden controlled media, which is about 80% of it.
What I'm saying, I should say, giving due credit, was covered beautifully by Newsmax, as usual.
So there are organizations I don't include in this.
That's one of them.
It's one that I probably have a lot of confidence in.
One America's News, some of the newer organizations, America's Voice, and of course a lot of the individuals.
And, Mayor, you know, you read so much every day.
What are some online outlets, publications that you read?
Well, you know, the one that I wait for, and if I don't get it, it ruins my Wednesday.
What is it?
The great Epoch Times.
You got it.
The Epoch Times is... Owned by Chinese communists.
Dissidents.
Dissidents.
Yeah, unlike the McConnell family, who's...
The father-in-law of Senator McConnell does billions of dollars of business with the red Chinese government.
He's a Taiwanese and you can't tell me that he's not a trader.
I do not understand how the red Chinese do business with somebody from Taiwan and the guy's not a trader.
The Chinese would not do business with him if he wasn't.
I also can't understand how the McConnells Could have gotten somewhere between a five and $20 million gift from the guy who obviously is a red Chinese.
And just because he's her father, what the hell was that money for McConnell?
And how come you changed all your positions on China after you got them?
You used to be like me, like really tough against communism in China.
And all of a sudden you're the biggest defender of China.
You really sold yourself out, didn't you?
Wow.
I just want to make that point because it's not all, unfortunately, it's not all Democrats.
Can I list some publications and get your rapid reaction?
New York Post.
Good.
Could be better.
They have to stop their maniacal A tax on Trump, which is totally ridiculous.
I have no idea what causes that, but they write the stupidest things about Trump on almost everything else.
I love them.
I mean, I read them every day.
I love their reporters.
Of course, they were the ones that had the guts to print the hard drive.
I wish they'd have the guts to occasionally mention, like, they got it from me.
Like, they didn't really invent it.
And they wouldn't have it if it wasn't for me.
But OK, maybe I'm being a little sensitive.
Wall Street Journal.
OK, but an establishment newspaper.
And when you get on things like tariffs and economics, they become almost like the New York Times.
You know, they think they're so much smarter than everyone else that nobody else can really have a viewpoint on it.
And they hate Trump because he is for tariffs and therefore free trade.
Of course, it misses the point that it has nothing to do with free trade.
Uh, the debate is about if China puts 100% tariff on our cars, what do we do with their cars?
And they had a big editorial about how stupid Trump was for doing that.
And here's the point they make, but then they either, well, let me just tell you the point.
The point is that if we allow Chinese cars to come in without the tariff, we're going to save money.
Our consumers are going to be able to buy the cars for a lot less for half of what they're going to have to buy them if you put the tariff on or something like that.
Now, these are almost all electric cars, which the Biden administration wants us to switch to by 2032.
By 2032.
Trump says just straight out.
Let's have fair trade and free trade, which is.
You send me you send me a pen.
No tariff.
I'll send you back a similar pen, no tariff.
You put a tariff on your pen so that you can sell your pen for half of my pen and wipe out my pen industry and put all my pen workers out of work.
Then I'm going to put 20% more on you.
I'm going to do it because it's only fair.
And I'm going to do it because, like you, I have workers to protect.
Now, this is why he's going to win Pennsylvania.
This is why he's going to win Michigan.
This is why he's only going to lose Pennsylvania if they cheat him.
This is why he's going to win Ohio, for sure.
This is why he's going to win Michigan.
Because there are too many people there who you can't squeeze your way out of that with all your propaganda because people out of work.
And even if we're in a second generation with the steelworkers, the daughters and the sons remember daddy having a nice job and all of a sudden it went to China because of this.
Now, I'm going to give you another reason why this is insidious.
And the Wall Street Journal get really pissed now, but they should.
And I'm not charging them with this, I'm saying they're creating a suggestion.
There's another reason for doing this with electric cars.
The electric car thing is a con job.
It's a con job for China to, it's part of the war of China against us.
Remember, Xi Jinping said that by 2048, he wants to dominate the world.
Push us aside, get rid of the dollar and dominate the world.
This will make it easier for him to do it.
Because if we start buying electric cars in lieu of the cars we like to buy, And they can sell them for half what we can sell them for.
Our auto industry can get destroyed.
But now it gets worse.
Everything that you need to support our auto industry is here in America.
It's called oil.
We got more oil than maybe anybody, including Saudi Arabia.
If you didn't have a jackass in the White House, right?
We were, Trump turned over To Dodo of energy independent country.
He changed it in two days.
It's one of the reasons why, one of the reasons why your grocery bill is 23% higher than when Trump was in office.
But all the things that we need to support the present car, which runs on gasoline, we own.
We don't have to, I mean, we, uh, actually at this point, we don't have to import oil anymore.
Trump got us there.
And Rick Perry.
That's pretty darn secure for us.
That's pretty good for our economy.
It's the reason our economy was better under Trump rather than under Biden.
It's the reason, maybe a lot of people don't know it, but it's the reason why the minorities are moving toward Trump.
Because it's the reason why they haven't had much gain in the last three years and they had great gains under him.
You can't possibly emphasize how important energy is to the economy.
Now, if we go to electric cars, everything gets supported by China.
We don't have the minerals that are necessary to expand energy.
To the extent that it would have to be expanded to take care of those cars.
In fact, there are scientists who believe that no matter what we do, we're not going to be able to have the capacity to do it.
In the process of pushing this, we're going to have blackouts, brownouts, blowouts, and explosions.
We don't have enough energy to take care of what we got now.
Suppose you took every automobile on the road And you let it rely on energy, which it's not doing right.
Only 7% do right now.
What do you think is going to happen to the electrical supply?
You don't have it.
China has the raw materials, but they're not ready to do it.
If you're going to depend on Chinese efficiency, come on.
Let's face it, the Chinese wouldn't be anywhere if they didn't steal what they have.
They are not a particularly inventive people.
They're a very, very, what would you say, non-creative people who can do repetitious things well.
But what has China ever invented?
Nothing.
What has China ever stolen?
Everything.
And the a hundred years of Chinese education, uh, uh, among other things, deprives you of creativity.
You're not allowed to think for yourself when, when, when, I mean, the human mind is very complex, but when you grow up in a limited universe, uh, thinking like the old expression out of the box, it doesn't happen.
To enough people so that you become creative.
So now you have to learn if you're a dishonorable like they are to steal to get what you want.
So what they're doing is just like with climate change, we could do the same analysis.
This is a very, very brilliant idea to make the world more dependent on China.
And finally, it's impractical as hell.
Americans don't want electric cars.
We have a friend who has an electric car.
I drive, as you might know, because I do a lot of my shows from New Hampshire to New Hampshire a lot.
If I had an electric car, it would take me twice as long to get to New Hampshire, because I'd have to fill it halfway through.
It would take me an hour to an hour and a half to fill it.
Maybe two.
I'm sorry, I'm not sitting around a gas station for an hour to two hours.
I don't like sitting around a gas station for ten minutes to get my gas.
We're just not going to do it.
Number one, it's possible we really don't have the minerals and the resources to do it.
I doubt that.
I think if we had enough time, we probably could find it, but I think we need more than 30 years to do it.
Number two, to get from here to there is going to mean massive depression, total dislocation of economies, particularly burdensome on the United States, because the country that is supplying And has the capacity to supply what it needs to support the present car is completely without that.
And it moves over to another country, which means if you thought we were losing jobs when Clinton was selling us out and Obama was selling us out and jerk water is selling us out, we're going to lose everything in terms of the auto industry.
That's why, uh, the UAW president.
Who supports Biden and the members support Trump because the UAW president should really not be the president of the UAW since he has a union that's gone down in membership from 1.5 million to 400,000.
Anyone that lost that many people would get thrown out because they would say there's a reason he's lost all those people because he doesn't know how to represent his workers.
He knows how to represent himself.
And he's buying into the Chinese situation, the Chinese growth.
So when you look at Trump's positions, please don't buy into the fact he doesn't know what he's doing or talking about.
I know Donald Trump for 35 years.
You've got to just step back and say to yourself, what was this country like for four years under him?
What's the country like now?
What was the world like four years ago under him?
What's the world like now?
Every single person that died in Ukraine because of Putin's invasion would be alive today.
If those of you who voted for Biden didn't vote for him, if you hadn't been defrauded, fooled, brainwashed to vote for him, there is no way in a million years That Putin would have invaded Ukraine.
I'm going to tell you why I know that.
And you should know it, as a logical person.
Because he didn't.
Putin invaded in the last 18 years three times.
Three times he didn't care.
One time he didn't.
He invaded under Bush, Georgia.
Took Georgia, or a lot of it.
He invaded big time under Prince Obama, who I used to see him look at and say, I see it in his eyes.
What's this kid doing here?
I'm a, I'm a trained KGB killer.
This guy is some kind of a, he knew he was a communist trained activist.
I don't talk to communist trained activists, even in my own country.
I got to talk to his jackass.
So when it came time to take Ukraine, did you see him stop all worried about what a baby boy is going to do?
He just came in and we did nothing to help him.
Nothing.
We actually gave him, wouldn't even give him guns.
And finally, he invaded big time under Mr. Afghanistan.
He saw a president that doesn't know how to protect his own troops.
He saw a president that his ally China had bribed the hell out of.
He had gotten a little bribe in, too, through the mayor of Moscow's wife.
And then he saw a guy falling downstairs, going up airplanes, falling in front of his troops, saying to himself, this can't be true.
This guy's not president?
If I don't invade, my people will throw me out.
I mean, if I'm serious about wanting to get Ukraine back, I'm never going to get these kinds of cards dealt to me.
I mean, even if I don't get Trump, I'm going to get like a normal human being who's going to stop me.
So he said, I'm going to take advantage of Dodo Bird, and he did.
Now, what's going on right now, you should know, is that that kind of thinking is going on in the mind of Xi Jinping over Taiwan.
And I'm going to say something, you know, that I believe, because I always believe in telling you the truth, whether it's politically helpful or not.
I do not think he will invade China.
For a while, I thought so.
For a while, I thought he couldn't give up the opportunity of having such a weak president and take the risk of getting such a strong president.
China invading Taiwan?
Yeah.
You don't think?
Here's why.
They're not ready.
For all their bluster, they're not ready.
It isn't that they aren't getting ready, and getting ready in a way that's even more dangerous.
They're being very careful.
They don't want to make the mistake Japan made.
They don't want to make the mistake Russia made.
They want to make sure if they invade, they can get it done in a week.
Like that.
To do that, they need to take out our Pacific fleet.
The way Japan tried to do and failed.
Right now, they have a bigger Navy than we do.
Please note that.
There's a reason for them having a bigger Navy than we do.
And remember, they've got a bigger Navy than we do that's even bigger than a bigger Navy than we do because we have to patrol two oceans, one for them.
So that kind of doubles their resources.
Here's what they don't have.
They don't have a Navy that's as proficient as ours.
They don't have a Navy that is as scientifically advanced.
They're not sure how far behind they are on that.
They're pretty sure because they have an excellent spying operation that Biden has increased, but they're not sure.
And he wants more time.
He wants more time to build subsonic missiles.
He wants more time so that when he strikes, he can take us out of the Pacific.
Figuring that by the time we get there from the Atlantic, it's not going to do much good.
He doesn't want to take any risks with this.
He's not Putin.
So here's his thinking, I believe.
Let's hope that Biden gets reelected.
Putin's already endorsed him, but probably that doesn't help.
They're going to probably stay out of it, but like they did in 2020, they're going to help Biden.
Uh, and they're gonna, they're gonna, I mean, they're a long-term people.
They're going to play two games.
Game number one is if we get Biden, maybe in four years, we will be ready.
And not only that, if we get Biden, they're finished.
Then they'll go get Newsom and some other sissy boy or girl or somebody that we can walk all over.
And if we get Trump, we'll outlast him.
He's only got four years.
We'll play with him.
We'll put our head down, do nothing for a while.
We won't invade.
Putin won't invade.
Putin will come up with some reasonable deal in Ukraine, knowing that in four years, or believing that in four years, that the inevitable thrust of the United States is to become a one-world country, you know, dominated by people like Soros, Klaus Schwab, Prince Obama, Uh, and basically people who are, people call them hidden Marxists.
They ain't so hidden.
So I think that, I think they're going to do a long termer and I don't think there is worried about Trump as a lot of us think, because they're thinking long term and then they may be wrong that we're going to go in that direction.
I mean, they, they, what they may be discounting is the fact that Trump Could have the capacity to really stop this and move it in the other direction if he can find people to succeed him.
But I think they don't think he can.
So, Mayor, you've been to Russia, you've been to China.
I heard, it was either Lex Friedman, maybe Tucker Carlson, made this point.
I want your reaction to see what you think.
Not necessarily as a whole, but at the top, the Chinese communists controlling things are smarter than those in power in Russia.
Is that too much of a generalization?
What's your reaction to something like that?
At the top, we're not talking about the leadership.
Sometimes the top changes.
But as a whole, I would fear China a lot more than Russia.
Because I think China is much more patient Much more multifaceted in the way they attack you.
Look at what they're doing right now.
It's very, very... When I said they're not very creative, that's true.
But that's only one town.
They are very disciplined.
And they are very amoral.
I mean, they don't have a religion.
Please don't get angry, ancient Chinese.
You didn't have a religion before you didn't have a religion.
Well, Mao!
all that stuff with, you know, that's not a religion.
So they don't have the moral, sorry again, China, you had a great culture
and a great civilization, but it's not the West.
Well Mao, Mao got destroyed.
No, but look, the Western civilization took over the world.
Chinese civilization didn't take over the world because it really isn't a humanitarian civilization.
If they had a humanitarian civilization, they wouldn't destroy 80 million of their own people.
Life doesn't mean the same thing in China that it means in the United States.
And I'm talking about not just communist China, I'm talking about China, China.
Yeah.
Yeah, they're very dangerous.
They're a very, very dangerous adversary.
And I think they're more dangerous than Russia.
I think Russia is more practical.
I also think Russia hasn't been as dominated as China.
So I think there's more.
You could see it when the Cold War ended.
I think there are more people in Russia that would accept Western values.
And let's face it, Russia is half Western to start off with.
Russia splits between Europe and Asia, and you go back to Peter the Great, then Peter the Great wanted them to be a Western country.
So there's a tension in Russia that doesn't exist in China.
Did we hurt ourselves?
Before Nixon, we didn't even recognize China, it almost seems like.
Yeah, I don't think we hurt ourselves.
I think we did what we always do.
We went too far.
Nothing wrong with opening up relations with China.
Then all of a sudden, ten years later, trusting them as if they were legitimate people was ridiculous.
They're murderers.
It's like when we watched the people of San Francisco Cheering for Xi Jinping.
Yeah.
And you see these Chinese, they're almost all Chinese, right?
And they're carrying mostly the Chinese flag, not the American flag.
He looked like a conquering hero returning to a Chinese city, not an American city.
I mean... That was nuts.
Now, here's what's missing.
These Chinese people are applauding somebody Who killed more of their people than anybody in the world.
He's murdered more Chinese than anyone in the world.
I wouldn't be surprised if some substantial number of those people have relatives that he's killed.
And if he didn't do it, Mao did it.
And if Mao didn't do it, Xi Jinping did it.
And if he hasn't killed one of their relatives now, he will pretty soon.
So what the hell are we doing celebrating him?
I mean, let him come to America, you know, put him in a little house and go talk to him.
When did we ever give a hero's welcome to the leader of a Chinese country, except under a president who I believe, well, he isn't a communist, but his administration, he doesn't know what he is.
If you told him he was a communist, he'd say yes.
If you told him he was a capitalist, he'd say yes.
The only thing he really knows is, That's right.
were systemically racist, largely because he looks into his own soul and he's racist.
So he figures you are.
We'll take a short break and we'll be right back.
And is that gonna be time for my fix?
That's right.

Dr. Howard, the whole team over at Balance of Nature.
These guys contribute to all patriotic causes and they are capital letter anti-woke.
We will not advertise for anybody that isn't, by the way.
So we've got a very busy... A couple of quick items that might be kept out.
There's been a definitive report done that the Palestinian casualty numbers are bullshit.
They're phony, they're wrong.
There's been an analysis done by uh an independent an independent group actually from Pakistan as well as other places and and what they actually look at they have actual but then they did an outside like uh mathematical analysis and they said it's ridiculous they report the same number of people dead every day can't be the same exact same number of people die every day and then they say 70 percent are women and and children
And just looking around at the observations that are made of the bodies, and most of them are men.
So all the video that they have of dead bodies, so they think they probably have more videos of dead bodies.
They get men over 30%, like maybe at 50.
And they're claiming that 70% are women and children.
And of course, there is another fallacy that they didn't bring out, which is absolutely true.
They killed a lot of these people themselves.
Of course, a vast majority.
I don't know about that.
Well, you could say all if you look at October.
I mean, the whole reason for this whole thing.
But I'm talking about the fact that they put their children and their women in the line of fire.
Nobody else does that.
We don't do that if we're at war.
God forbid the Israelis don't do that.
The Israelis don't line up a kibbutz and put the women and the kids in front and all the men go hide in the back.
Crazy.
So they're going to have, they are going to have more men and women and children killed rather because they put them out front to get killed.
Now with all of that, the statistics, even accepting their statistics, are less than the civilians that we killed in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Vietnam.
Percentage-wise.
And we are not an army that seeks out civilians to kill.
But Israel, because of the pressure, goes out of its way not to.
So when our friend Sid Rosenberg complained when the president said 30,000 are dead, and he yelled out, where'd you get those numbers?
Says who?
Says who, right?
Yeah.
Sid, congratulations again.
They just, and why they want to carry water for the Palestinian terrorists, I don't get.
And stop getting sympathetic about the Palestinians.
There's no real big distinction between Hamas, Fatah and the Palestinian people are taught from day one in school to kill Jews, to destroy Israel and to kill the big Satan.
You're the big Satan.
And some of you are demonstrating in favor of them and they want to kill you.
How about the LGBTQ people?
You go over there, they'll throw you off the roof.
And you're demonstrating for them.
That only can come from the fact that you probably went to Harvard and got a terrible education.
You should ask for your money back.
They haven't been educating people on things like history, philosophy, critical thinking for 30 years.
Somebody said that the history of Harvard for the last 30 years is they no longer teach you how to think, they tell you what to think.
I think that's a very, very good example. So how about some questions?
I'll give you good news.
Ireland, which we think is very Catholic, Ireland over the last 20 years has changed a lot and become very liberal.
It's really part of the EU in distinction, and maybe it's because of the pressure of Great Britain, but they've gone very much in the direction of the EU countries and have become very liberal, very big on climate change, all this.
Left-wing garbage.
And so they actually put up a proposition to take the words woman and mother out of their dictionary and out of their constitution.
I don't know what they were going to call them, but no woman, no mother.
The Irish voted 70% against it.
Which indicates that 70% of the Irish are more intelligent than Justice Kataji Brown, who cannot define woman.
What's a woman?
I can't answer that.
We have a few questions from our very loud audience.
We're going to start with our friend.
You can choose to identify yourself or remain anonymous.
You have a great question.
Where do you come down on whether they should sell TikTok?
So the question is, on TikTok, where does the mayor come down on TikTok?
Man, oh man.
I'm not sure.
And I'm not being politically careful here.
I'm just kind of thinking out the following.
So I think TikTok is extraordinarily dangerous.
I agree.
And I think all of the stuff about The larger number of children who die as a result of watching them is true.
I also think it's true that they are completely controlled by ByteDance, making them a functionary of Red China, and that they try to collect every bit of crap on us they can.
I think all that's true.
On the other hand, they are a communication organ.
Will you reach many, many people?
Are we better off, and since we as conservatives are cut off so much, are we better off being able to use them and communicate on there and fight the communications battle with them?
That would convince me to kind of regulate it, but leave it alone.
I guess I go, I guess I reluctantly say Close them down, because I'm not sure if the information they're getting, they could get other ways.
Now, if you could show me that they, like, the people that defend TikTok say, they can get that information other ways.
But that's a little too facile.
Show me how they can get the information other ways.
So I think the real reason to put them out is for intelligence reasons.
Because they're gathering information about it.
I don't like what they're doing in communication, but I don't think we should be afraid of communication.
I think we should think of communication as, you say what you want, it's our obligation to say what we want and convince you.
It's the only way you can have a free country.
But they are manipulating the algorithms.
Therefore, I would say, I don't believe That they aren't getting a great advantage with it.
That if you, uh, that if you, um, closed them down, they wouldn't be able to.
I mean, people say, even if you close them down, they'll be able to get the information to develop.
I don't think so.
We got another great question.
But I don't, I don't get crazy about the people who oppose it.
I can see a first amendment.
I can see a reason why there's a rational concern about it.
Yes, ma'am.
I can't say ma'am.
Some lady got angry at me last night when I called them ma'am.
Oh, I'm fine with it.
You're okay with it?
Yes.
Thank you so much.
Really interesting.
And I can say you're a woman and stuff like that?
Definitely.
Oh, good.
I'm completely fine with it.
Thank you.
I'm taking it as a compliment, really, to tell you the truth.
Oh, it is a compliment.
You're a beautiful woman.
Thank you.
My question is, what would you recommend to do to finish war in Ukraine?
What would I like to do and what do I think is possible to do?
I would say those are two different, I have to give two different answers to that.
At the very, very beginning of the war, I would like to have seen us throw Putin out on his backside.
Get them the hell out of Ukraine.
You should know that I spent a lot of time in Ukraine, and I was a consultant to the city of Kharkiv.
You know Kharkiv?
Right on the border?
So Kharkiv is right on the border of Russia.
For time immemorial, it's been a pro-Russian Ukrainian city.
So even when they split up into a singular Ukrainian government, they've always voted for the pro-Russian Ukrainian party, big time, you know, 70% of the vote, 80% of the vote.
Karkev in 2014 was viciously and stupidly attacked by Putin, even though he didn't have to.
The country would have said, okay, come on in, Putin, we like you.
And instead he came in and he attacked them.
Maybe it was a mistake, maybe it wasn't.
The mayor and the deputy mayor raised an army and through the will of God defeated them, knocked them out, got rid of them.
The mayor ended up becoming a paraplegic, losing his legs.
I went there in 2015, 16, no, 15, and I helped build their emergency management center.
Got to know them, and they made a complete switch.
Thank you.
Even though many of them were ethnic Russians, very much against Putin, because of the way he had double-crossed them, and vowing he's never going to take us.
And they switched political agents.
They became part of the pro-Ukrainian Ukrainians, you know, nationalists, right?
And I have been extraordinarily proud of the fact that when Russia first invaded, their object was to start with Kharkov and build the land bridge from Kharkov all the way down to Crimea.
If you notice, they're about 80 miles south of Kharkov because they can't get near Kharkov.
Now they've bombed it, they've attempted, but they're not getting it.
So personally, I'd like to have seen the thing Reversed immediately.
I think Biden never wanted them to win.
I think his support for Ukraine is, like everything else, dishonest.
I think he likes the idea of lots of money going to Ukraine and would love to continue this because it is a perfect opportunity for him and the people he's been dealing with for 15 years to steal money.
I do not believe that any more than 50% of that money got to helping Ukraine.
I am sure that the Ukrainian oligarchs took half of the $120 billion that we sent to them.
I also believe that they took the arms and sold them.
Right now, I've forgotten the number, but I think there's about $20 billion In completely untraceable arms that we sent to them.
We don't know what happened to them.
I know what happened to them.
You don't have to tell me what happened to them.
They were sold.
You can't help the Ukrainian people if the Ukrainian oligarchs won't help the Ukrainian people.
And there's no way in the world that the president of Ukraine has control of them because they have control of him.
He is a creature of Kolomoisky, who owned Privat Bank, which is the major money-laundering bank.
He could be one of the three or four most important criminals in Ukraine.
And Kolomoisky right now, if he was sitting here, could identify all of Joe Biden's offshore bank accounts.
Probably also McConnell's.
Probably Obama's.
Probably a couple of the kids of Romney.
And he could also tell you all about the bribes that Poroshenko got.
So when they fixed the case against, now we go to a different figure, Sloshevsky, who owned Burisma, it wasn't only Biden who got paid for that.
The president of the Ukraine got a fortune for doing that.
Because he's the one who did it.
I mean, he got a hundred million dollars.
Zelensky knows that, has it over him.
Anybody that operates that way is a thoroughly dishonest man.
So I don't, I'm not in love with Zelensky either.
I mean, I know he, here's the strangest thing.
I've gotten to know Ukraine really well.
Some of these oligarchs can be tremendously patriotic.
I mean, they'll go fight to the death against the Russians, but they'll also steal money.
From their people.
And they just operate that way.
So I actually, I don't know if Biden didn't give them enough or they stole so much they never had enough to really contest Russia.
And now I look at the money they want to give now and nobody raises these questions.
We're going to give them another 60 billion?
What, without accountability?
Without knowing what happened to the first 120 billion?
Without figuring out if it's going to get to the Ukrainian people?
And we want to pretend to ourselves we're helping the Ukrainian people?
We're not helping them.
So I think what Trump will be able to do, I think if Trump comes in, Putin will do what I said Xi will do.
He'll put it off for four years.
No reason to challenge Trump.
Let's see who comes along four years from now.
Trump's going to be out of office.
I'll kind of play along with him.
I'll humor him.
I'll make him think he's really important.
I won't give up what I got, but I'll give up something.
You know, I'll make some kind of concession.
Maybe I'll give up a quarter of what we got.
Maybe even more because I know I can take it back.
He's not going to give up anything near Crimea.
They'll make a peace.
And then as soon as he leaves, unless we do something to really bolster them up, he'll invade again.
And I think what Trump has to do, Trump has to do a rebuilding of our army the way Reagan did.
There are Russian people that are friends of mine Who, you know, lived through communism there, who were scholars.
They'll say, you know, the real thing that Reagan did is he spent the Soviet Union into oblivion.
He used the power of the American economy to crush Russia.
And they had to, they had to ultimately concede.
That's what he has to do.
He has to build a military That is so strong that it's pointless.
It's pointless to contest with us.
It's unfortunate, but both adversaries are murderers.
Putin, Xi.
The only way you can deal with murderers is through strength, and Biden deals with them through incredible weakness.
Wow, what a great in-depth answer, Mayor.
We're well into soccer time, but I think we have time for one more question before, one more score before we sign off for the evening.
Hi, Mr. Mayor.
Knowing what we know about the Teachers Union, and you ran New York City, and you know how, you know, how the education system is so terrible in inner cities and across the United States.
Yeah, it is.
Probably the most difficult to fix.
Probably the longest one.
Like, when we're talking about fixing the military, you could start a program on day one.
It'll take six years, but it'll happen.
We've done that before.
You can fix the border a lot quicker than you think.
You might even be able to turn crime around pretty quick.
The education one is going to be hard because they did it over 30 or 40 years.
They are deeply infiltrated.
But there is a there is a big, big movement that I think is ready to take off.
And that is the the choice movement where we say parents Should choose the education of the children.
Now, that's been doing well for about 20 years.
And I think one of the reasons why the Marxist started to go after parents is because they want to put doubt in people's minds that parents should be making the educational choices for their children.
Because when I worked on choice, which I did when I was mayor, I used to say, who is better to figure out the right education for the child?
The parent or the teacher.
And almost universally, people would say the parent.
Well, the parent loves the kid more.
Now, somehow they're getting a certain number of people to turn against the parent.
Like the expert teacher should know more.
Of course, that's ridiculous because children are so different that you can't have a teacher making a one-size-fits-all answer for the kids.
So I think this battle between parent And school system is the one that has to be fought.
And I think you win that battle when you fight it.
So you can do things like charter school.
If you have a really heavily entrenched teachers union, state or city, probably charter schools is the way to go because they still are public schools, but they don't operate with the same rules.
Now they are so dangerous to the teachers union.
That in New York, there's a cap.
We can't have more than 400 charter schools.
There's no reason for that.
The charter schools are more successful.
They perform 20 to 40 times more successfully.
The public school kids or teachers like to say, well, they get the best kids.
No, they don't.
Same kids, same demographic.
The private schools have a different demographic.
The Catholic schools might have a different demographic.
Not much.
The Catholic schools in those areas are educating poor blacks and Hispanics.
If you look at the polls, black parents, Hispanic parents, are somewhere in the 70s and 80% in supporting charter schools, school choice, Scholarships.
They want to break out of this school system that they know is hurting their kids.
So they have to be empowered.
And you're going to have to do it state by state.
So some of them have had big victories.
Now, getting the Democratic states to make that move is going to be tough because they control the teachers union so much.
But if all the Republican states can do it, And Trump can get them organized.
That becomes a pretty powerful incentive to start moving the public schools in that direction, too.
So that's that's that's that's what I think.
So Ted.
Wow.
What did I miss?
What a- What a- What did I miss?
We call it the fastest hour on the- No, you know what I missed?
I missed all the shoplifting going on in New York.
A lot of shoplifting.
Billions of dollars in losses.
And our friend John Castamatidis answered to it, which is fabulous.
About as simple as it can be.
What do you do about shoplifting?
Arrest them.
Don't let them do it!
I've seen right on the Avenue of the Americas, what is that, 6th Avenue, I've seen in front of police officers someone at some fancy bakery there grab something, run out the door, pass 10 cops, they all stand there and watch the guy.
And then the worker at the restaurant runs out after the guy and he's yelling at the cops to help him.
And then you get that dope AOC saying they're doing it because they're starving.
I'm sorry they're not stealing televisions because they're starving.
You can't eat a television.
Or gourmet ice cream, right?
Oh, you know what they do with the ice cream?
They lock it up.
They got a whole thing where they steal the ice cream and then they get it to a bodega right away so it doesn't melt and they sell it in the bodega.
Secondhand ice cream black market.
And these are migrants.
These are the people Biden let in, the criminals he let in.
Wow.
Well, what a great, well, thank you.
Thank you very much for coming.

Newsmax, you will be able to watch us at eight o'clock, but it'll be yesterday's show.
Well, thank you very, very much.
And God bless America.
Is to bring to bear the principle of common sense and rational discussion to the issues of our day.
America was created at a time of great turmoil, tremendous disagreements, anger, hatred.
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.
