America's Mayor Live (E376): America is Lost—2024 is about Fighting to take it Back
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
Good evening, this is Rudy Giuliani and welcome to America's Mayor Live on Easter Monday.
This is the day after Easter, as you know, and beginning of a new week.
Pretty difficult week last week, I think, particularly with the death of that wonderful police officer and the tragedy to that beautiful family and the Horrible, horrible way they were treated by the president.
He couldn't have inflicted more pain if he tried.
And I think he did try.
It reminds me a lot of what he did after he got the 13 people in Afghanistan killed and stood there looking at his watch and lying to them about how his son was, he knew what they were going through because his son died in action.
Now, we do know that his son died.
Now, he's used that so much that he's used it up.
But the worst part of it, he lies about it.
Who the heck lies about their son dying except a mentally ill person?
He says he died in action.
He died six years after.
And he keeps saying it.
And they want to say he's okay.
I mean, I don't know exactly what the illness is.
My goodness, I'm not a psychiatrist.
But I do know if a person goes around saying, even if he wasn't as public as Biden, my son died in action.
And, uh, the son died six years after action had nothing to do with the action.
And then he repeats it, uh, each time, uh, he's told no, and he's repeated it.
I don't know how many times, probably two or three.
Isn't there something, isn't that person mentally ill?
I don't care who he is, president, not president, whatever he is.
Easter, of course, is the most important, most beautiful, most significant day in the year for Christians, for all forms of Christians, for all those who believe in Jesus Christ as the way, the truth, and the life.
There is no other day, no other holy day, no other day in the year, nearly as important as the day that Jesus rose from the grave and conquered both death and sin.
That's very basic 2000 year old plus Christian theology.
It's a day that's treated with solemnity and it's a day that's treated with dignity and a day where Unlike even the usual Sunday, a Christian is supposed to devote his part, a good deal of his day, to reflecting on what that means in the more Orthodox Christian traditions, and by that I mean not necessarily Russian and Greek Orthodox, some of which will be celebrating Easter
Several weeks from now, because they operate on a different calendar, but in the more conservative Christian traditions, meaning the Orthodox, the Roman Catholics, the Episcopalians, the Anglicans, the Lutherans, the Methodists, it's a day on which people renew their baptismal vows, renew their commitment to Jesus and to God and to reaching God through Jesus.
So it's a very significant day.
Now, the president of the United States, who makes a very, very, very big deal about his Catholicism
And As if he were Mr. Catholic.
How he authorized and had his administration carry out this transgender day of visibility on March 31st, I don't understand.
Except as an insult to Christianity.
There's no other explanation for it.
There's a difference of agreement, of massive moral separation here about these acts,
particularly when we start getting to the the next one.
you.
As we start getting to the idea of mutilating your body, changing your sex, a real feeling that a tremendous amount of money is being put into getting children to doubt their sexuality at a time in which young people are the most suggestible.
There's a real sense that this is not just isolated, but it's Marxist.
It's inspired by one of the ways in which they can deteriorate America's love of country, love of nationality, which of course is articulated by people like Soros, even to some extent Obama, who I once said, you know, didn't love America.
I would now say there are real signs that he hates America.
And his wife certainly was very clear about that.
So.
I mean, this is beyond.
Honestly, when I heard it, I couldn't believe it.
The name of this thing is Transgender Day of Visibility.
And they celebrated it yesterday.
Making everything pink and It doesn't even look like pink.
It's like a dirty pink, orange.
The colors are like washed out colors.
Nothing bright and beautiful about them.
Kind of fading colors.
Fading for a fading society.
And of course they wouldn't do anything about this.
Now, If you thought that that was it, you're mistaken.
The first stepmother-in-chief, the doctor first stepmother-in-chief, Dr. Jill Biden.
Dr. Jill Biden issued a directive, like a dictate, like Joe does when he does those directives.
She did a dictate from the First Lady's office, and the dictate said there will be no religious scribbling of any kind on the Easter eggs.
Any child caught scribbling anything religious on those Easter eggs will pay for it.
Very, very seriously.
Dr. Gilles will take care of her.
And, uh, I will do what I can to, uh, traumatize her the way I did with that, uh, uh, uh, so-called granddaughter that I didn't, uh, uh, that I didn't recognize, uh, for five years.
Remember.
If it put out all the... all the Christmas, I'd leave that little one-off out.
You know, that'd hurt her.
Hart in the movie could be played.
Remember Edith Hamilton?
You probably don't remember Edith Hamilton.
She was the wicked witch in The Wizard of Oz.
Great, great part for her, if the woman was still alive, as Dr. Jill Biden, who is enforcer of no religious scribbling by children.
Religious scribbling by children and suddenly no crosses in the White House.
Today is the transgender day.
Today is a day of mutilation.
That's what it feels like.
I swear it feels like we are in a nut house.
The Bidens have us in a nut house.
Now there's Transgender Day of Remembrance, Transgender Awareness Week, Trans Awareness Month, Transparent Day, International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia and Transphobia, Pride Month, LGBT+, History Month, LGBT+, Health Awareness Month, International Day of Pink, Day of Silence, Lesbian Visibility Week, Agender Pride Day, Harvey Milk Day, Pansexual and Panromantic Awareness Day, Stonewall Day, International LGBTQ Day, International Non-Binary People
Day, International Drag Day, Bisexual Awareness Day, Celebrate Bisexual Day, International Lesbian
Day, National Coming Out Day, Gender Fluid Visibility Day, International Prona Day, Spirit Day,
Intersex Awareness Day, and Intersex Day of Remembrance!
And we need another one!
Bye.
Oh, you want to know where I was finding those?
Would you like me to tell you where I was finding those?
I stole those from Fox.
From Fox.
They had them on Fox.
I looked over in the corner, I saw them, and I said, I want to give you a feeling for how Dr. Jill manages all these days.
She is a very, very busy commissar.
Very busy commissar.
Now, the real, uh, German.
Oh, it could be Russian, too.
Or anything.
What?
Communist accent.
It's a communist accent.
It's like Klaus Schwab.
Klaus Schwab.
So, um, now, these guys don't even know this story.
Dr. Jill was largely successful in frightening the poor children into not making any religious aids.
Several of the children did make eggs, and their parents crushed the eggs in the lawn, and they were found later in the day, but the kids were gone with little, you know, little crosses like that.
Like a little cross like that.
So these have been all turned over, all these little crosses have been turned over to the J6 uh, investigatory committee, uh, which has, uh, spent more
money than any investigatory committee history of the world to find those people who engaged in
the only insurrection in history where no gun was produced. And, uh, and they're going to
try to add people, uh, as many as possible to, uh, the group that are in the, uh, in the Virginia Gulag
where they have these J6 people uh, several of whom were fed last Easter and are said to be
getting another meal this Easter.
So the kids will be okay.
They'll get kids that are arrested for having made signs like this.
Right now they're going through the FBI is going through every child within 20 miles of the white house.
And over the course of the next month, they are all going to be arrested.
They will be arrested with the group that now is calming down on the J six arrest.
They have to do something.
I mean, they have all those Storm Trooper outfits.
What are they going to do with them, right?
They're not going to use them for real criminals.
They got most of the Trump people already.
I mean, now they're taking people in that were there on January 4th and 5th on the theory that they must have stayed over.
That they were close enough in time and they wanted to stay over.
And because they wanted to stay over, they committed a crime.
Because several people were heard saying they regretted not staying over.
They're checking those out now.
But these kids, I mean, look, it isn't just a few of these that were found on the lawn.
There have been a large number that have been reported to the chief, to the first stepmothers.
A little cross like that.
Can you imagine?
You know, I bet their parents got a lot in mass.
I bet.
Well, they're already under investigation.
They're already under investigation.
Or maybe they protest abortions and they're going to be sentenced to like 40 or 50 years in jail.
They don't hit anybody or hurt anybody, just like they did Chase.
You know.
Meanwhile, most of them are reporting it as An attack on St.
Patrick's on Easter Sunday.
I believe it was the Easter vigil on Saturday night.
I think the attack was on Saturday night.
Yeah, it was.
It was on Saturday night, and it was at 9 p.m.
You know, the Catholic Church, which is not peculiar to the Catholic Church, the Greek and the Orthodox churches also, when they have Easter, have very, very lengthy vigil services.
that last, believe it or not, three hours?
The Catholic one is about two hours at least before midnight, and then about an hour and a half after midnight.
The Greek service is about two hours before, maybe two and a half, and about three hours after.
So you're talking long service.
During that service, at some point, Matthew Menzies, John Renzendal, and Gregory Schwedok ran up to the, looks to me like the side altar, and tried to, were trying to rip, trying to grab either altar cloths or
or vestments away from the priest.
Because during the vigil service, there are changes in vestments, and there are numerous different religious ceremonies that take place.
They bless all the holy water in the church.
Like, if you go into the church after Good Friday and before the Easter vigil, there's no holy water in the church.
Holy water is blessed at the Easter vigil.
The candles are all dark.
The first candle they light is the Paschal candle.
I don't know, do they still?
Because when I went to the funeral on Saturday, which was Holy Saturday, the statues of the saints were not covered.
So do they still cover the statue of the saints?
On Holy Saturday, is anyone listening?
No, no one's listening, so I'm going to ask if somebody would call my friend Alan for me while we take a short break, because I'm going to find out if we still cover the saints on Good Friday to Holy Saturday, because in the St.
Rose of Lima church that we went to, they were not covered.
You know, the officer did not.
Officer Dillard did not have a mass.
He had a funeral service.
It ended with the eulogies, and it did not go into the sacrificial Eucharist service, because you're not allowed to give the Eucharist on Holy Saturday.
And I thought And I think I'm incorrect.
We can ask the audience, too, Mayor.
I thought there was an exception made for that in the case of funeral masses, because I seem to have gone to another one for a police officer in Staten Island years ago.
But now that I think back, I think that also was a service rather than a mass because it was Holy Saturday.
I guess they would have had the option, should they have asked for it, to delay the funeral to Monday, and then they could have had a funeral mass on Monday, but they took the option of having it on Holy Saturday, which of course is a very holy and beautiful day to have it.
So why don't we take a short break and we're going to see what are they what is to call that on that game?
You can get one life.
Phone a friend.
No, they're called a phone a friend.
A lifeline.
A lifeline.
Phone a friend.
We're gonna do the first time I had to do this, right?
Yeah, we've never done this.
But I think I'm gonna tell you what I think the answer is.
I think the answer is that, uh, number one, uh, that you cannot have communion on Holy Saturday, no matter what, no exception for a funeral mass.
And I think they took up the covering of the statues because of the funeral mass.
That's what I think.
I think they still do it.
But let's find out.
That I'm not sure of.
And I can't remember last year.
Last year, I went to mass on... I went to some of the Good Friday stations of the cross service.
Gosh, I thought they were covered.
But okay.
Good.
We'll see.
We'll find out.
We'll be back very shortly.
And now, the American Revenue 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.

Please, donate now.
Welcome back to America's Mayor Live!
This is the Theology Channel, brought to you by I have the answer from Mike, not my friend who's a Monsignor, and he says they still—and the official language, which I don't know, is called veiling the statues.
They still veil the statues between Holy Thursday when they remove the Eucharist.
And Mike is quite right.
They don't have Mass on Holy Saturday or Good Friday.
The communion they give out on Good Friday is communion left over from Holy Thursday.
On Holy Saturday, they give out no communion until the Easter vigil mass that night, which is technically an Easter mass.
So, Saturday is not only no mass, but no communion.
Now, I assume that they remove the veiling for purposes of the funeral.
And they probably put them back on for purposes of the Easter vigil, which in their church was gonna take... Some of these churches do it like at six o'clock now.
They used to always do it when I did it, and I remember serving it.
Like, you had to be there like at eight o'clock or 8.15.
You spent the whole night there.
And for a kid, it was kind of exciting because you got to bed at like two in the morning or something.
Now, that's not exactly the way kids nowadays like to spend their life.
Serving a mass, but it was kind of fun.
It was kind of fun.
He had a lot of help, too.
Like a lot of, they have lots of priests and altar boys running around.
They do a bunch of things.
They renew the baptismal vows.
They bless the water.
They bless the Paschal candles.
They baptize new Christians.
They do that at Easter.
But they have them recite Stuff.
Because you recite your baptismal vows on Christmas.
Do you have any pictures from the... I should tell you, and Ted, I'm going to ask you to participate in this for a moment, because you were there, and in some ways you got a better look at it than I did, because I walked in fairly early.
Maybe at the time I walked in and we, when we first got there, We went with Bernie Kerrick, myself, Dr. Maria, and Ted.
And we came, believe it or not, if you're watching the show, you'll know that we came from Georgia.
And we took an early morning plane, about five in the morning, and we went to Republic Airstrip, which used to be Republic.
And I found the airport for them.
They're going to go all the way out to Iceland, because I used to live there.
And they were going to go to Iceland.
I said, no, no, let's go to Republic, because My friend Alan used to live right near there in Farmingdale, and I knew the parish because, tragically, I know almost all the parishes in the New York area because of September 11th, of the hundred funerals I went to before September 11th for my firefighters, police officers, teachers, sanitation workers, rescue workers, corrections officers, and then, of course,
I don't count the numbers after that.
But it meant, and I should say, and I don't mean this in a way to be, you know, exclusive or something, but the overwhelming majority are Catholic.
So I would say that of the hundred that I lost during the line of duty, probably 80 were Catholic ceremonies.
I would say the same thing for September 11th.
75 to 80% were Catholic ceremonies.
So I knew the Mass really well, studied it, studied academically even.
I was an altar boy.
But after that, my goodness, I have it memorized now.
And I've come to love it more and more for that reason.
And I've become more religious.
In both senses, more spiritual and more religious.
So the thing I was going to ask you was, what Bernie and I couldn't get was a good number.
Now, how did I get the numbers for ours, Mike?
I actually got it from the helicopters.
Because they actually have, because they do it for us for possible riots and parades, they actually have a formula.
for roughly how many people can fit on such and such a block.
I mean, they'll have the dimensions of the block, and they'll estimate it out as full, you know, full up to the sidewalks, full including the sidewalks.
I mean, they get pretty particular about it, and they'll tell you, oh, well, on this block there's 5,000, on that block there's 6,000, on this block there's 4,000, and then they'll add it up.
And when it's at St.
Patrick's, I almost always go across the street to St.
Patrick's before I join the lineup, or even after they line up, and go look at it, just so I can see for myself.
And having been there so often, I can get a pretty good idea of how many were there.
But I didn't know this church or the block.
The line ultimately was endless.
I looked to my left.
I couldn't see the end of the line.
I looked to my right.
I couldn't see the end of the line.
They said 10,000.
I think more.
Well, they said, um, basically police departments as far as Miami to New Hampshire, East Coast, New Mexico, California, California, all over the country.
Who knows how many people were there?
Yeah.
I mean, that's, you know, Yeah, and I don't know if they're, you know, they're as used to New York, uh, at doing those estimates of, um, I don't know if they had their, meaning Nassau County had their aerial people doing, uh, the, that kind of analysis, but is there, are there any numbers given out, Ted?
Uh, I heard as many as 15,000.
Yeah.
I think that sounds more correct than 10.
Yeah.
Trying to bring up some drones.
And there was, there was some aerial footage.
Uh, that I'm trying to bring up.
When I was, when I was going to work, when I was going to Rikers in the morning, unfortunately, I couldn't get off for the funeral.
I saw just caravans of police cars going towards Long Island.
So, I mean, it had to be at least 15 to 20,000 people there, at least, at least.
I mean, you don't, I mean, I should tell you that, uh, depending on the person, right.
This can be very comforting for the family.
Uh, oh gosh, you know, nothing takes the pain away.
I said, comforting.
I know President Trump going there was, as my mother used to say, just what the doctor ordered.
And it took away some of the insult of Biden not even bothering to call them and actually calling Adams very insensitive.
I mean, they were cordial to Mayor Adams.
But they threw Governor Hochul out.
And the difference between Adams and Hochul in terms of culpability, about this much.
I mean, Adams has spoken up more about it than Hochul.
But he hasn't done anything.
More.
And in some ways, he was in the stronger position, strangely.
To do something about it.
Now, let me tell you why you would say that kind of strange.
The governor is in a stronger position to convince the majority leader of the Senate and the Speaker of the Assembly.
Now, you remember the Speaker of the Assembly is the guy we played the tape of yesterday, Friday and Thursday.
Now, he is a one of two things.
He is a Either a very, very dedicated Marxist with a very, very weird Marxist perception of the world, or he is the dumbest human being on earth, except for Joe Biden.
Because I'm not going to play it again.
I can't stand listening to him.
But here's what he said.
He said that Everyone knows that extra penalties do not deter crime.
Now, everyone knows just the opposite.
The reality is, it is not even logical to say that.
If you want to debate with me and you're wrong to do it, but go ahead.
If you want to debate to me with me, the mere fact that this guy goes to prison doesn't stop that guy from committing a crime.
You can debate that with me.
And the real answer is if this guy goes to prison, it doesn't stop every one of these guys from doing it, but it's, it stops a certain percentage.
It stops a certain percentage of them.
Okay.
Let's put that aside.
Here's where the man is.
Either a confirmed Marxist, a malicious liar, or working with the very, very deficient brain cells of Joe Biden.
There's two types, there are two types, I wish, oh gosh, I should have gone, got out my old criminal law 101 textbook, where they describe the purposes of punishment.
Deterrence.
Then they divide it into two.
General and particular general is the one we're talking about but i just said uh you put somebody uh look at this look at this bankman freed right bankman freed looks like he might get 20 years hopefully that will that will scare the living daylights out of future bank and freeze a little because he looks like a bit of a sissy boy uh other bankman freed from doing it that's general deterrence and it will Will it deter every bankman free out of doing it?
No.
But you'll start seeing the crime come down with a good sentence like that.
However, here's what it does do.
It does deter bankman free from doing it, right?
He can't do it while he's in prison.
Better case.
The guy is a home invader.
That's how he makes his money.
He does two, three a day.
Makes 10 grand a day that way.
He's good at it.
He knows when the people aren't home.
He knows when they go on vacation.
He knows when the neighborhood isn't too busy.
This is the way they make their living.
Nobody said they're stupid.
They're crooked.
So when he's out, he can be doing three, four, five of these per day.
Here's what happens when you put him in prison.
He can't do them!
Well, let's make it really simple.
If Garcia, the creep that shot and killed Officer Diller, were in probably about 40 other states with that set of crimes, he wouldn't have been able to kill Officer Diller because he'd be in prison as a career criminal.
If I were the mayor, he'd be in prison as a career criminal.
You can't commit the crime while you can't shoot officer Diller if you're behind bars.
And that is the, uh, unbelievable dangerous situation that, uh, for an intelligent person is so obvious that I, I feel like these people are the accessories to murder.
I think Carl Hastie is an accessory to murder.
And if I were the mayor, I would go explain to him immediately the effect of what he was doing as someone who knows far more about law enforcement and human behavior than he does, and as somebody older and wiser.
And if he agreed with me, maybe he'd change the law.
If he didn't, I would take my ComStat program, I'd put a teeny little section in there for Carl Hazy, and every week I'd publish to people that he was responsible for killing.
And I'd put special emphasis on the people in his district who were killed, raped, beaten, or robbed.
I'd also do a computation of how much money was stolen out of this district by people who were released on bail.
And at the end of the week, I would send it around to everybody in his district.
And then every month, I'd have a rally there.
Get rid of Hastie.
Get rid of Hastie.
I'd see if some of the families would help with me.
In other words, I'd fight to save the lives of my citizens instead of do what Adams and Hochul do, which is just talk.
Talk.
Talk with no guts to do a damn thing about it.
This is a damn democratic state.
Governor?
Both houses in the assembly?
New York City is a damn communist city.
It's so democrat.
The one thing they should be able to have no excuse for not getting something done.
This isn't the Republican this, blocking the Democrat that.
They're all Democrats.
And wherever you have all Democrat, you have all crime.
All around America.
Get the point?
How stupid can people be to vote for him?
Let's see.
Because, man, the chickens are coming home to roost now.
You got the border overwhelmed.
We got people, all those people that stormed the border and beat up National Guardsmen are free.
They did a lot more damage than the January 6th people did.
They actually invaded.
I didn't see them invited in.
I saw a lot of January 6th people where the police held the door for them and they're sitting in jail.
Why aren't they in jail?
Why aren't they put in the gulag, like the January 6th people?
They're all free!
The judge has freed every single one of them, and they're illegals to start with!
Some of those January 6th people, they had to be in a state of confusion.
The cops are standing there, going like this.
They were in no state of confusion.
They were cutting the wire!
Not even Americans!
And the Americans are held for two years without a trial.
Like we're back with the Japanese internment.
I don't know what Biden has to do to prove to you that our brainwashed Democrats, if you do listen, that he's not a Democrat.
He's a fascist.
He's destroyed our justice system, single-handedly crushed it, both with regard to the way it treats his enemies, including yours truly, and the way it treats his friends and his son and him.
They are master, repeat criminals at very, very high levels, millions.
They're also traitors to the United States.
They do business with China.
They do favors for China.
The favors can't be explained by anything else than all the money he's gotten from them.
They're so damn irrational.
So Governor Hochul, of course, let's just set the record straight.
Governor Hochul, originally it was reported, was asked to leave the wake.
Governor Hochul left and did what she usually does.
She lied and said that she decided to leave the wake.
There are so many witnesses.
You'd love to have a trial.
But yes, she was asked to leave by multiple people, including, and I got this directly from the brother of Mrs. Diller, he asked her to leave.
So the governor is Just like she's lying about the Buffalo Stadium, where she and her husband are trying to make a bundle, if they haven't made a bundle already.
Just like she lied about the $300,000 extra that she charged for PPP tests and took that money for her campaign.
Albany is right now suffering from a stench.
Absolutely serious.
You know what it is, don't you?
And it isn't just Hogel.
It's the whole damn group of them.
We'd have to work the other way around to find the good ones.
We'd find some good ones.
But it wouldn't be easy.
No budget on time.
Lobbyists run the place.
These two dictators run it.
It's really just, it's really just, it's really just, uh, uh, uh, terrible.
Well, Mayor, we have some, some of the beautiful words, uh, of, of the widow.
Stephanie, would you, should we play a little bit of that?
I do want the beautiful words, but I also want the challenging words in which she tells them all what miserably useless public officials they are.
And how, in many ways, they're accessories to murder.
I would like to hear that part.
I would like to hear that.
It's the part I really want to hear.
Well, let's see if we got that part right.
I'm not, I'm... ...words.
We've just got a few more months to change this, so we can save our country.
Otherwise, this is going to happen all the time.
How long I have to wait to see Jonathan again.
When the doors to heaven open for me one day, I hope to see Jonathan standing there looking at me just like he did on our wedding day.
My husband died a hero, but he also lived as one.
Our world will never be the same, but I know I speak for everyone when I say I could not be more proud of him.
It's been two years and two months since Detective Rivera and Detective Mora made the ultimate sacrifice, just like my husband, Jonathan Diller.
Dominique Rivera stood in front of all the elected officials present today, pleading for change.
But change never came, and now my son will grow up without his father, I will grow old without my husband, and his parents have to say goodbye to their child.
How many more police officers and how many more families need to make the ultimate sacrifice before we start protecting them?
I don't wish this kind of pain on anyone.
Jonathan lived his life doing good for people and it's now time for people to do good for all the officers he
represents.
How many more police officers and how many a great day.
Families need to make the ultimate sacrifice before we start protecting them.
That means you, Governor Hochul.
You, Mayor Adams.
You, Carl.
You can't deter crime hastily.
I don't wish this kind of pain on anyone.
Jonathan lived his life doing good for people.
It's now time for people to do good for all the offices.
He represents, like, disassociating themselves with pigs in a blanket, fry them like bacon, Black Lives Matter, which are the people that Biden and Epstein's good friend and the guy who gives money in the billions in cash to Iranian terrorists were with on Thursday night.
I'm talking, of course, about Bill.
Uh, who sold the Lincoln bedroom Clinton.
And, uh, and I'm talking about, uh, Obama who actually put hundreds of millions of cash into the hands of terrorists who killed Americans.
That's the kind of people that Biden hangs around with.
Uh, you're going to get rid of them.
You're going to get rid of them so that we can, we, we, we can, uh, stop having to go to wakes like this.
It doesn't mean it won't happen, but it won't happen anywhere near as much.
And when it does happen, it'll be used as a real example not to do it again.
What about executing this guy, huh?
Do you know how many... Do you have any idea, since Cuomo became governor, how many cop killers... We're getting into now cop killers who killed when I was the mayor.
I don't think they've gotten one yet because When they do, this guy's gonna go crazy.
It's all Cuomo's legislation.
As I told you, if I were mayor, this guy would be in jail, the kid would be alive.
Now, I think if Bloomberg were the mayor, same thing.
Can't be sure, but I think so.
But, you agree, right?
Agree with you, man.
And in about 40 states, he'd definitely be alive.
I mean, this guy had the unfortune of being in the state that cares about criminals much more than innocent people.
Largely because I think that Democrats depend on their vote to get elected.
Who the hell is going to vote for them but criminals?
I mean, it's mind-boggling what they get away with.
And then we have, on the same weekend, we have this tremendous breakdown in morals, right?
We've got the first stepmother telling children they can't put religious symbols on eggs at Easter time.
I'd like to know, did she ever read that part of the First Amendment that says the government protects us in the free exercise of our religion?
That means that I can write religious symbols where I want to, particularly if it's my property, you know.
I'd be kind of confused if I didn't write some kind of religious thing on an Easter egg hunt.
Easter?
It's really not celebrating bunny rabbits, Dr. Jill.
The FDNY, one of their companies was required to remove a flag, Mike.
Yeah.
That is in memory of September 11, because some people in the community said it was a fascist symbol?
Yeah, so, Mayor, I actually know all these men personally.
What the hell is this?
So, these brave men of 11 Truck in the Lower East Side.
I know these guys personally.
I played hockey with them.
They're a bunch of great guys.
I know 11 Truck.
Yes.
I visited it.
2811.
I think President Bush visited that company.
So, yeah, they're a bunch of great guys.
They were approached by an individual who is obviously a liberal.
And he has glasses on September 11th.
Yes.
This man came up to him.
The story was, it was a politician that it was that was false.
It was a man with political connections.
He came up to them when they were outside and he said, he already had his response ready.
He asked what was that flag?
And they said, this is for our brothers who died in 9-11 and for other firefighters around the country.
What did it have?
It had one red line?
One red line.
It was a subdued American flag that was gray and black.
When it had one red line.
Like the police went.
Like the police went, right.
In white.
Right.
And this had a red line for firefighters.
For firefighters, right.
Correct.
And they said, this is for our brothers and sisters who died in the line of duty around the country
in a 9-11, whatever.
So the guy said, well, this looks like the police flag that represents racism and fascism.
So you guys must be racist and fascist.
And then the firefighter that I know, he said, All right, we're gonna go inside now.
We're good.
And the guy kept talking and talking and talking.
You guys are much more civilized than the firefighters I remember.
The guy kept talking and then he called this politician, whoever it was.
No one knows who it was.
A division chief came.
He said, listen guys, I really don't want to do this, but please take the flag off the rig.
I'm sorry.
I really don't want to do this.
So, two hours later, Chief of the Department, Chief Hodgins, he actually got his start at 11 Truck.
He called the house.
And this was a week ago.
This story's old.
The Post got his start.
Yeah, this is old.
He called the house because Chief Hodgins got his start at 11 Truck.
He said, put that flag back on the rig and never take that flag off again.
So that flag is never, ever coming off the rig.
And you know, that's it.
That's the final word.
We should go see it tomorrow, Ted.
Yeah.
It's on the Lower East Side.
Yeah.
I love a truck.
Yeah.
I'll send you that just, and I'll let them know you're coming there.
I'll let them know.
Because, um, it says it is that the politician, Is a dues-paying member of the Democrat Socialists of America.
Oh, yeah, that makes sense then.
Yeah, it's those people.
Democratic Manhattan Councilwoman Carlina Rivera.
That's who it is.
That's right on brand for her.
That was a fascist symbol.
Yeah.
Well, they sent a March 19 email to the FDNY.
Right.
And she is a former dues-paying member of the Democrat Socialists of America.
She voted to, uh, she voted to defund the police of a billion dollars.
Of course she did.
So she is, uh, has an awful lot of blood on her hands.
And she spends most of her career ripping cobs.
And this, and this is because the firefighters look too much like the cops?
No, she just thinks that the flag is too similar to the blue line flag.
I mean, she probably supports burning the flag.
Correct.
The American flag problem.
Yeah.
So what she doesn't know is... Not the pink, the pinky, whatever flag.
What she doesn't realize is that the FDNY doesn't care, like NYPD, what color, race, creed you are.
If you're burning in a building and you're in line 1-1, we'll come save you.
We don't care.
We don't care.
I've been on an awful lot of fires and I never remember asking for like a diversity breakdown.
Oh, I'm sorry.
We already saved too many white people.
We're not going in.
Oh, we saved too many.
Do you know we saved six black people and one white person last night?
Tonight, we got to save a couple of brown people.
Sorry, black people, you got to burn.
We're going to go over there where the brown people are.
Because there are, let's see now, there are 24% black people in the city.
That means we can only save 24% black people.
And these numbers are little, there were 30% brown people.
So we'll save 30% brown people, but we're already at 60% brown people.
So we're gonna have to let brown people die for a while.
And you know, well, man, I guess she forgot, she forgot on nine 11 that, uh, 343 of my brothers got disintegrated when they went to the towers.
They didn't care what color those people are.
I think to this day, I know the breakdown of the people that died there.
I don't think if it's been printed, I, I probably thought it was Desecration to print it and just threw it in the garbage.
I have no idea how many whites, blacks, pinks, greens, yellows or whatever.
I mean, innocent people died.
Well, while we're on the subject of FDNY actually, Mary, remember when they chanted Trump at Letitia James a couple weeks ago?
Yeah, that was great.
So now a federal judge is saying that that was racist.
And they want the FDNY to prosecute these members.
They're trying to do a federal lawsuit against the FDNY.
I read it in the Daily News today.
The fact that she's a corrupt, useless, dumb attorney general?
Yeah, they're saying the members that chanted Trump are racist, white supremacists, and they want them prosecuted.
A federal judge is actually looking into this case and wants the FDNY to take action.
Hitler, weren't they racist?
Anti-Italian?
Listen, this is what they want.
I'm not even German.
They call me Hitler.
This is what they want, man.
They wanted to call me Mussolini.
I guess it was okay.
Well, you are Italian.
Yeah, I am Italian.
I mean, after all, I should take that.
Yeah, you could take that one.
But why can't I say that the ones who called me Hitler were anti-white or anti-Italian?
The First Amendment is out the window in this country now, man.
They used to boo me.
I never got any protection like that.
You should have sued them.
You should have said they were racist.
I was standing, I was standing for an hour and a half.
I was standing next to the worst attorney general in the history of the state and maybe the worst attorney general in history.
Very hard to me because I, I value being a lawyer very, very, uh, highly.
And as I watch, as I watch, uh, the bar association of my city, the woke Marxist Democrat oriented Trump hating bar association of my city.
Operate and do nothing for the people who were tortured for representing Trump and making a phony case against me.
I'm sort of proud that I'm suspended.
Oh, you think that's me looking at her funny?
No, no, I'm going to tell you what I was doing.
You have no idea what I was doing.
I know what I was doing.
I was trying to figure out the line, you jerks.
I wasn't looking at her.
Now she's in the way, but I'm trying to figure out, I'm trying, remember I told you, you might, you might actually, if you go back and you get the entire footage of that, you'll see the two or three times I broke out of the formation and I walked up in front where the, where the guys were that, that where the guys were that, that were, you know, in charge.
And I looked over this way and I looked over that way because I was extremely curious.
As to how many... Actually, what I wanted to see, Ted, was... You know where we came in?
Yeah.
I wanted to see how much more of that was filled in.
Yeah, I saw you.
We walked over... But that's what I was looking for.
And there I was taking a last-minute look at it.
Which one is that?
This is just some B-roll.
Mayor, on a scale of 1 to 10... You are talking to Commissioner Bertie Kerr.
Oh, and there's Sid Rosenberg on the morning show.
I'm talking to Sid, yeah.
There he is.
Yeah, Sid.
There's Dr. Maria.
We'll play that again.
Mayor, on a scale of 1 to 10, how pissed off do you think Letitia James was standing next to you, like, on a scale of 1 to 10?
I think it was she was turned down for a speaking role.
Oh, yeah, that's it.
They turned her down for a speaking role.
What did Sid whisper in your ear?
My friend!
How great he is on the radio every day.
Oh, come on!
Just making sure.
Come on, give the guy credit, okay?
Very nice to see Sid there.
Here's Dr. Maria.
Curtis was there.
There's Bernie.
You can see Bernie was in a good mood.
Right, yeah.
Yeah, lucky nobody said anything nasty to Bernie.
They'd have been laid out.
You can never tell.
Bernie's weird.
It's either like he looks like he wants to kill you or he's friendly.
Or he's friendly, yeah.
Right there, he looks like he wants to kill you.
I don't want to say who I think he wanted to kill.
But I think you can do a little imagination.
You get an idea who Bernie wanted to kill.
Bernie's very scary.
Bernie is.
is if he wants to kill you, he will.
Yeah, what?
Ha ha ha ha ha!
Ha ha ha ha ha!
He's a tough guy, boy, I'll tell you.
No fooling around about Bernie!
So, the Third Circuit, which contains the crooked city of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, has two-to-one rules.
Gosh, you gotta sign an absentee ballot!
Oh my God, that's so unfair.
You actually have to sign it.
You might even have to show identification.
Come on, they're not going to let you show it.
How can they cheat in Philadelphia if they let you show identification?
How can the dead people vote?
This is discrimination.
This is discrimination against people.
It destroys years, years of learning how to fix an election.
It destroys years of learning how to fix an election.
The Third Circuit Court of Appeals, Rule 2-1, I'm sure the one is from the Democratic machine, saying that there's no such thing as a, you know, they said that all the errors on the thousands and hundreds of thousands of ballots in Pennsylvania that would have turned the election from The Democratic crooked upper court of Pennsylvania ruled that they were non-material errors or omissions.
They also ruled the following, and tell me if this isn't an indication of their thoroughgoing corruption.
The law of Pennsylvania says that an inspector for both candidates or either party has to be present when the ballots are counted.
So our representatives, meaning Republican, were present, but they were placed several football fields away from the ballot and put in pens, like cows.
During the course of the counting, for four or five days, hundreds of thousands of ballots were counted, and they never got to see one Not a single piece of paper.
After they got a court order ordering that they be allowed to get next to the ballot, the sheriff in Philadelphia told him he wasn't going to execute it because the sheriff must have known what the crooks were going to do.
They went to the upper court and they got it reversed because one judge, the only one that was honest, When she got a chance to look at it, said, well, wait a second, present can't mean that you just sit in the room and read a book or you're a potted plant.
If you are an inspector and you're present during the counting of votes, present means that you have an opportunity to observe.
Logical.
We reserve our Well, the crooked Supreme Court of Pennsylvania made up all Democrats, five and two, voted like five and two.
That present means you can sleep during the same.
You can take a nap.
You can spend your time in the bathroom as long as you're in the same room.
Uh, you can, uh, be a potted plant, but it has nothing to do with looking at the ballot.
And of course the Supreme Court didn't take the case.
Justice Roberts didn't want to touch it.
We don't want to be controversial.
We don't want to be controversial.
I don't want to be controversial.
That is a completely dishonest, dishonorable, Decision for which every one of those judges who put their name on that, they should have their name stricken as judges for the Court of Appeals of any place.
They don't deserve to be American judges.
I can think of some courts they could have sat on, but most of them have funny accents.
That decision is ridiculous.
Eventually it gets reversed two years later when it's too late.
And now this one here is also ridiculous.
This one says that if you don't sign a ballot, it's okay.
You don't have to sign it.
Better count it anyway.
What?
So the third circuit, now the federal court has ruled two to one, that a ballot like that is invalid.
Now it's this, that, that will remain the law unless one of two things happens.
They take it up to the entire Third Circuit, which again is a federal court now, not as dominated by the crooked Pennsylvania, and that includes, you know, from governor on down.
The crooked Pennsylvania court, so it's a federal court, they can take it en banc, which means the entire court could consider it.
So the entire Court of Appeals could reverse that two-to-one decision.
Or the Supreme Court could take it.
But if they leave it that way, we will have made a real inroad in the state that I'm most worried about.
And I'm not worried about winning Pennsylvania.
I believe that Trump is a particularly strong candidate in Pennsylvania, particularly the trade issue.
Uh, I do not believe that abortion is the major negative issue.
It is another stage.
Remember the democratic, uh, Senator, uh, Casey, uh, was pro pro life.
That's pretty rare.
It means that the abortion issue, not that it isn't a big issue, but it isn't the same wedge issue that it is elsewhere.
It's also a state with two, um, demonstrated Groups of people suffering from Democrat policy to steal workers and the auto workers who are in, auto workers are enraged right now.
And the auto workers union, I know, has supported Biden.
That's almost worse.
You know, the auto workers union used to be 1.5 million.
It's now 300,000.
Get the point?
You're almost better having them not support you because all those other auto workers have left the union because They've been making deals with the Democrats to get rid of their jobs to China for years, so that the heads of the unions get fat.
You ever wonder why they were so fat?
Lots of money, lots of drinking, lots of cigars, and who knows what else.
The union movement is down to, I think, is it below 10%?
10%?
12%?
Yeah, very low.
Because my dad used to say they used to fight for worthy causes.
You know, like a 40-hour work week, weekends, actual living wage.
Now they're protecting the lazy bums, most of these things.
You go back to the 20s and the 30s and the 40s?
You got unions that were real?
But you do have unions that, from the very beginning, two groups came in and really started to ruin them.
The Communist Party and the Mafia.
So you take both, infiltrating different unions, and it doesn't leave you too many that weren't infiltrated.
For example, I mean, the Teamsters Union was a creature of the Mafia.
I was going to say, that's why they killed the Mafia.
He was too greedy.
Well, the Longshoremen.
The Longshoremen is a gigantic union.
It's all over the country.
No, the mafia controlled it, sure.
There is no mafia.
Ever see On the Waterfront?
No.
Oh, it's a great movie.
I've heard you talk about that.
It's a great movie that gives you an idea of the control.
And the accident that took place the other night is a bit of a function of all of that, because that ship, had the mafia not exerted its influence, Back in the 50s and 60s, when they invented container shipping, that ship would have gone into the Port of New York, not into the port.
There was really no Port of Baltimore.
The Port of New York was gigantic, a million workers.
The Port of New York built half to three quarters of the vessels that were fought, who used to fight in the Second World War at the Brooklyn Navy Yard, mostly.
What happened was when the container ships came in, All of the ports bought the appropriate equipment to unload the containers so that you never had to unload, you unloaded the ship automatically.
So the ship comes in, it's designated for a particular group of trucks or designated for a particular train, and the container ship is automatically unloaded and programmed by the workers to do so.
And that cut the number of workers, I can't tell you exactly, but maybe by two-thirds?
A place like Baltimore immediately built up all the containers to take the ships.
A place like New York first fought it because the Union was so powerful, the ILO.
Powerful like they kill you.
Powerful.
And then eventually agreed, but how about this?
They built They let them build the containers, not that many, because you don't see that many containers in New York, except if you go to Staten Island, but they built the containers.
But you're required to hire the same number of men, whether you have the container or not.
So let's say it took 800 men to, I'm just picking a number, 800 men to unload a ship of three football fields.
And now with the container, it takes only 200 men.
You had to hire the additional amount of men.
Who would sit around and, you know, make sure that it all looked good.
It's called feather bedding.
It's a particular abuse.
I had that in my hospitals.
I had hospitals that used to have 1,100 beds occupied that had only 400 beds occupied, but we had the staff for 1,100 because most of the staff were political hacks.
That were patronage payoffs to the Democratic congressmen.
So in New York, uh, I mean, most congressmen have very little patronage compared to a mayor, right?
So a mayor or a governor, county executive, I mean, as a mayor of New York, I had 200 and something thousand jobs, not all of them mine to direct, but the hospital was a special corporation and I can have a lot to say about who was there.
So the mayors turned it over to the congressmen, turned over some of their unnecessary patronage to the crooked congressmen in order to get their votes.
So Charlie Rangel owned Harlem Hospital.
The mayor couldn't tell Harlem Hospital what to do.
Charlie Rangel, all his people were there.
Half his people, you know, basically their job was to read the Daily News every day.
They were taking care of empty beds.
I went through the hospitals.
I had hundreds of people taking care of empty beds.
They were nice and clean.
The beds were real clean, but nobody in them.
So I eventually fired them, which is what made me so popular.
That's what Trump talked about when he talked about waste, fraud, and abuse.
He talked about that.
Bullshit about waste, fraud, and abuse.
I actually did it.
I actually got rid of it.
That's why I ended up with a surplus.
I mean, that's why I got the number of people on welfare down from 1.2 million to 500,000.
I put them to work.
Yeah, oh, there's Charlie.
Charlie is worth something like 22 million, never having a job other than on the government payroll.
It's interesting how you do that.
You should write a book on how you do that.
You think he's alone?
Nah.
You're also looking at the reason why Harlem never went anywhere for years.
Because people like him and Dinkins and Percy Sutton took all the money intended for Harlem for themselves.
Because if you ever taken all the money intended for Harlem and given it to Harlem, Harlem would be the Riviera.
Because that's the amount of money that went to Harlem.
We could say the same thing about Baltimore.
We could say the same thing.
So you want to start writing the history of racism, boy, just the opposite of the ridiculous Marxist coverup that they give you.
What I'm describing to you has a lot to do with the fact that every weekend in Chicago, young black kids are killed for no reason and not a damn thing is done about what we're talking about right now and looking at right now.
Well, That gets us a little off the point.
Anybody have any questions?
No.
About a very, uh, very unbelievable weekend and Iran's latest targets.
They arrested a 33 year old, uh, uh, they arrested a 33 year old artist, uh, today for, for having, uh, written a song about Masha Amini.
Who was the young lady who was killed in 2022 because she had a little bit of hair coming out from her hijab.
So today he wrote a song about it, a beautiful song that became quite popular.
I think he's on his way to getting killed by the government that is supported by Barack Obama and Joe Biden.
Barack Obama gave that government cash.
That's Like the kind of transaction between drug dealers.
I don't know where he learned that.
Maybe in Chicago.
I mean, governments do it by wire transfer.
Drug dealers, terrorists.
Gee, I wonder when they asked him for hundreds of millions in cash to be brought in the middle of the night by an aircraft and not tell anybody, you think he might have gotten a hint that they were going to use it for terrorism?
You think it might have occurred to him?
They could be using this for terrorism, and that's why they wanted the cash?
You think Barack's a... Nah.
Barack's a good guy.
He's not a crook.
He just wanted to be nice.
They wanted cash.
He gave them $222 million in cash.
According to some people, he's the best president we ever had.
According to Rand.
Of course.
The Ayatollah says he's better than Biden because he gave him cash.
Biden gives him wires.
It takes him a little while to convert it into cash.
Iran and Chris Matthews, they both love Obama.
Well, that's why Chris Matthews had to go off the air.
That tingle, you didn't know what it did to his leg.
Created tremendous damage to the veins and the stuff.
You get a tingle like that in your leg, you think it's okay, but he's not a young man.
I mean, I like Chris.
I don't want anything to happen to him, but that tingle, he has to rest his leg now because, and he cannot, he can't go on the air because if he hears about Obama, he gets like a rekindling of the kindling and it could kill him.
So he has to be in a place where Obama's name is not mentioned.
Otherwise his leg will start tingling and it could tingle to death.
And unlike Chris Matthews, you want to be like Mayor Rudy Giuliani, and you want to take your balance of nature.
Balance of nature.
Now, I cannot confirm whether or not Chris Matthews is taking it, but that's besides the point.
Mayor Rudy Giuliani takes it, and that's reason enough.
I think balance of nature could work on an Obama tingle.
I think you have to take a lot, though.
I think you'd have to take like four in the morning.
And then if you got the tingle, well, personally, just in case you get the tingle, and this is what Matthews didn't do, which cost him his career.
Immediately he should have gone to the emergency room and they, and they would have, you know, like they do acupuncture, uh, Rob, they had to put, I'll do it for him next time.
You just put these pins in.
You put lots of pins in, and you make the tingle go away, and possibly it won't happen again.
I wonder what happens when he hears Trump.
He probably gets something, but it's a tingle.
Also, you know what you really have to know.
It's really unfair of me to do this, not knowing the scientific background of this.
Did Matthews suffer from leg tingles in the past?
This tingle sounds like an orgasm.
Martin, we're gonna do a, we're gonna do a, no, an America's Mayor confidential on Chris,
on the Chris Matthews leg tingle.
And the derivation of it, does it continue?
And is it the reason he had to retire?
Because of the danger to his health of too much tingling every time.
This tingle sounds like an orgasm.
Can we say that on here?
I have to tell you.
No, but the real, I've heard that if you have tingles, you can have orgasms.
Sounds like, this sounds like he has an orgasm when Obama speaks.
But you can't have, you can't, I got it now.
Once the tingle starts, that's your orgasm.
You can have no other orgasm.
That's it.
No other, or, it's it!
Describe that tingle.
Let's, let's hear it.
Maybe if we get the details, we can diagnose it better.
So this is Chris Matthews.
This was in 2008.
That's a long time ago.
That's a long time to have a tingle like that.
This is from 2008 and it was, uh, on primary coverage, primary coverage, I guess, district of Columbia.
So.
Oh, direct quote verbatim.
Just winning the district of Columbia.
Cause just imagine when he won the election, he probably blew them up.
This is Chris Matthews following a speech from Barack Obama.
I have to tell you, you know, it's part of reporting this case, this election, the feeling most people get when they hear Barack Obama's speech.
My, I felt this thrill going up my leg.
That's it!
I mean, I don't have that too often.
Oh my God.
That's the disease.
Umtututuruhu is a disease that happens when you become so excited it replaces an orgasm forever.
You realize this guy has never had an orgasm since then?
Yeah.
Well, he does say, I don't have that too often.
His poor wife.
Chris, we can tell you what that was.
You were so excited there, buddy.
Let's put it this way.
Most people didn't think you had it too often.
You don't look the kind of guy, you know.
Jesus Christ.
You don't look like it, you know.
My, I felt this thrill going up my leg.
I like Chris Matthews.
Obama hasn't had me doing that.
I just don't like him.
Well, they all did.
I think he really went off the deep end because I don't think he's the kind of guy you can bribe.
I really don't.
I think he really had a tingle on his leg, the poor man.
Chris, I think you might just be gay.
Remember the other night when we played the old Remember when we played the old reporters who basically said Biden should never be president?
He's finished, he can never be president, he'll never be president.
And you compare them to the ones now.
Most of those were left-wing Reagan haters.
But they were intellectually honest men.
Well, on that note, I was going to ask you guys about Diddy Combs, but you know what?
You know what?
I really don't give a shit about him.
Well, let's do some more research.
We should come with that tomorrow, because it is a big story.
They could go to jail.
Mayor, you know what?
I will talk to our good friend Lauren Conlon tomorrow, and I will get more for you.
Is she around?
Is she in New York?
Tomorrow she can't.
Maybe Wednesday.
Maybe Wednesday we'll get her here.
Do you guys think he's headed for jail?
Perhaps, perhaps, yes.
A little bit too much about too many people.
Maybe he'll hang himself.
He might get suicide himself.
Yes, yes, yes.
He might get suicided like some other people.
Interesting seeing, interesting pictures seeing Biden there right next to Epstein's best friend.
And the guy who gave cash to the terrorists.
Wasn't that interesting?
Very creepy.
Indeed.
That creeped me out, I'm not going to lie.
We want to thank you very, very much for listening in tonight.
I think we had a very interesting show.
I apologize for not having gotten completely to the bottom of Matthew's tingle, but we will.
We'll consult the relevant doctors and spiritualists and see if we can find out what that's all about.
But I do think, unfortunately and tragically for Chris, the more you tingle, the less you orgasm.
That's what I think.
I understand now it's quite a problem.
He tingles all the time.
Obama?
No, he just tingles all the time.
You don't think Biden makes him tingle?
Biden doesn't even know where he is.
Okay.
Maybe that could cure him.
Maybe listening to Biden could cure him.
The only thing that makes Biden tingle is preparation H on his hemorrhoids.
Now we're getting disgusting.
I am getting ready for the eclipse.
So I'm going to finish early tonight and start reading up about my binoculars and my telescope and And everything else and trying to figure out about this moon and stuff.
Hey babes!
And because we're going to cover it live!
And we're going to hit that eclipse right during the 3 p.m.
hour when the mayor is on his W-A-B-C nationally syndicated radio show.
So it'll be like a hundred years ago when all the biggest news events were covered on the radio, right?
No TV.
So, Mayor, you have to practice your descriptive storytelling skills.
In the dark.
You're going to be telling this.
Oh, yeah.
In the dark.
On the radio, though.
You're describing it.
Half these reporters won't be able to do it because they're probably scared of the dust.
You're like a bunch of sissies.
But you will be reporting on what's a largely visual event you're going to be reporting over the years.
I will be reporting on something I can't see.
You can't see it, the radio listeners can't see it.
I am here.
You can see it.
I am here in the middle of the total eclipse, and what do I see?
The gods.
The gods are cool.
We gotta say goodnight, otherwise we'll be on all night being idiotic.
How do you say goodnight in Brooklyn?
You say, hey, goodnight, see you tomorrow.
You say, forget about it.
What the fuck you gonna be on tomorrow night, huh?
You say, that solo eclipse, forget about it.
We could do tomorrow night a lot.
A lot, a lot.
Take care, God bless America, and a special prayer for all of our police officers.
Amen.
And all of our law enforcement officers, and poor firefighters who can't have flags to 9-11.
And also, of course, particularly to the Diller family, beautiful family.
God bless America.
...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, we're able to talk, we're able to analyze.
