The Rudy Giuliani Show (E16): Illegal Immigrant SHOOTS Two NYPD Officers in Brazen Attack
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
Good afternoon, this is Rudy Giuliani, and this is The Rudy Giuliani Show, coming to you from New York.
Unfortunately, New York, where there's been something of a crime surge, I would say, over the last three or four days, a kind of reminder that we're way behind where we were in 2019 when we went into the pandemic.
Since we got ourselves the Soros prosecutor and the former police officer as mayor.
Let's start off with the fact that this morning at about 1 40 a.m.
two police officers who were chasing down a robbery suspect who was on a moped turned back.
He turned back and he started firing at them.
They returned fire.
They struck him in the foot.
Before he was arrested, but both of them were shot.
Christopher Abreu, 26, was shot in the leg.
That's Christopher, Officer Christopher Abreu, shot in the leg.
He's a five-year veteran of the force, and he's recovering.
And Professor Richard, Officer Richard Yaruso, was shot in the vest.
Which, you know, I remember these when I was mayor.
This is a thank God he's not dead situation.
And thank God, you know, several decades ago, we came up with vests for them, which had to be privately funded at the time because the police department wouldn't pay for it.
I wasn't mayor at the time, I can assure you.
I paid for the equipment for firefighters that made their lives a lot safer.
In fact, we would Often have a ceremony when that equipment save them to point out the importance of it so they can continue to be funded.
And of course, we would do that with the vest and I see Mayor Adams held up the vest in the morning hours and made the point that I often made that but for that vest, we might not have might not have this police officer any longer.
But in what it turned out to be a graze of the stomach.
He probably has a little wound.
Because it hits the stomach and, of course, the vests have, over the years, improved in two ways.
They're much thinner and they're much better.
And, you know, I don't think... I can't think of, at least in New York, a bullet that got through a vest.
Now, we did have a police officer Who died recently, as you know, who was shot right below the vest, because the guy coming out of the car was below his waist, shot up.
And of course, the vest doesn't go down that far.
Maybe you should.
Maybe that should be looked into.
But in any event.
Officer Abreu will remain at Elmhurst Hospital a while longer, and Officer Yaruso was released late this morning.
And I don't know, do we have the footage at Elmhurst Hospital?
But you'll get an idea of, look at that.
I mean, this happened at 1.30 in the morning, and by this time, you've got a major turnout of police officers.
It'll give you an idea of their solidarity as brothers and sisters.
It'll also give you an idea of how concerned they are about being shot.
He gets a hero's welcome, as he should.
I mean, they got the perk.
And they're taking him out?
I bet he didn't want to be in that wheelchair.
There he goes.
He's right out of it.
Good-looking young man, right?
Those are his boys with him?
Girls?
There's the chief. We don't know which chief, but a chief.
That's a nice thing to see it show it shows you.
It shows you the solidarity of our police.
I mean, it's like the Marine Corps, and it's like the Army, and it's like any of the places where you face death together.
It creates a It creates a bond that's inseparable and knowing lots of, and having as good friends, lots of retired police officers.
The bond doesn't stop with retirement.
It goes on and on and on and on.
And as I have with the people on September 11th that I survived with.
The bullet hole in the vest, and as I said, the vest was exactly what it should be.
Elmhurst Hospital is the usual place they take police officers.
You pass it, probably, if you go to Kennedy Airport.
It's on the expressway when you're heading to the airport, about halfway to the airport, to the right.
It's an excellent hospital, considered, I guess, you know, that's why the police take their people to the best trauma hospital in Queens.
Uh, the 19-year-old suspect was shot in the lower leg and a gun was recovered at the scene.
Apparently, the gun he was using to shoot back.
Here's a little picture.
I think this is a picture of the gun that he was using, if you want to see it.
There it is.
And, uh, it could be something he put together, too.
But it was, uh, whatever it was, it was enough to hit the, um, Hit the police officer's vest and dent it, and to strike the other police officer and wound him, although, thank goodness, not fatally.
Now, this is a Biden invitee and an Adams tenant.
I think we should start saying that.
This guy just came over in 2023, yeah, from Venezuela.
What crime's going down?
Venezuela, the communist country where crime is going down.
This guy didn't come here to realize the American dream, Adams, like you invited all these people here, without focusing on the fact that the cartels are running the border, you jackass.
You invited all these people here.
I mean, why not come to New York?
You get your check, you get your credit card, you get health benefits, education, and you get a nice place to live.
This guy's living in one of your places that you're paying millions of dollars for.
Yep, yep, yep.
He's living in a hotel, a migrant shelter on Tittmorris Boulevard.
Not a bad place, Tittmorris Boulevard.
Beach, Venezuela.
I bet he doesn't make this kind of money in Venezuela.
I'm talking about the money you give him.
He's also apparently been kind of a menace since he got here.
I don't know that he's been arrested before, but he's been wanted for any number of... he's wanted for these...
Pattern crimes.
These are thanks to you and Biden that we have this kind of crime.
Where cell phones are snatched real fast.
They do it real, real fast.
It reminds me of the pickpockets in Times Square that Bratton and I stopped in two weeks.
Any reason why you can't stop this?
Well, first of all, the people who were doing it when Bratton and I were here, we didn't invite them here.
You and your president invited them here.
The president you can't criticize anymore because he has you under investigation.
Got you jammed up good, right Adams?
Do you realize, you realize those of you who reflexively vote Democrat, do you realize what you've done to us?
I understand that I've lived here all my life.
I understand you're brainwashing and I understand the 150, 160, 170 year Democrat corruption
in New York.
But if anybody understands what I do, nobody investigated it more effectively than I did.
Because usually it's a Democrat prosecutor and they cover it up.
And usually it's a Democratic mayor and they either participate in it or they turn their back on it.
So you had LaGuardia, you had me, you had Bloomberg, who was a Republican and an Independent.
Is he now a Democrat?
I'm not sure.
Oh yeah, he is, sure.
He ran in the Democrat primary.
But back then, thank God, he wasn't.
And I don't know if Mike would have gone along with it, because he's a straight guy, I doubt it.
And so was Koch.
I mean, Koch is a problem which I could explain better than anyone.
I investigated his entire administration, and I was criticized for not finding him guilty or something.
Well, he didn't do anything!
If I had been a brag or one of these Democratic bums, I probably would have jammed him up.
Could have done it!
People are willing to lie, but I have something called integrity.
So I actually announced that Koch was innocent, that I knew exactly what was happening with Koch.
You're not going to believe this because of his big mouth, but he was naive.
It shocked him probably more than anyone that Manis and Friedman were crooks, pulling in millions and millions of dollars on parking violations, bureau judges, fixing cases.
Things you wouldn't even dream of.
They're making millions on the city.
Not unusual!
You don't think there are people doing that now?
How do you explain that New York City's budget is as high as or higher than Florida?
We have 8 point something million people.
They have 22 million.
Plus, we get two budgets working for us.
We get the state budget, which is twice Florida.
And Florida is bigger than New York.
So that money's going somewhere, that extra money that we're paying.
The number of services we provide certainly don't feel any greater than in Florida.
I'm there a lot.
The emergency services seem as fast, and the police are pretty damn responsive, and schools are a hell of a lot better.
Well, we're going to take a short break and we'll be right back and we'll take a look at the border and what's going on there and then the difference between being tried by your enemies and being tried in your backyard.
And if I put my name on something, I truly believe in it.
Today, I'm thrilled to introduce you to something I'm incredibly proud of.
My own brand of organic specialty coffee, Rudy Coffee.
Believe me when I say it's the best coffee you'll ever try.
It's smooth, rich, chocolatey, and gentle on your stomach.
It's so good, I even recommend drinking it black.
It comes in three varieties, including what I promise is the best decaf you'll ever have.
You can order now by scanning the QR code on your screen or by visiting Rudy.Coffee.
By supporting Rudy Coffee, you're not just treating yourself to exceptional coffee, you're also supporting our cause.
It doesn't stay up.
We gotta find a way to keep it up.
democracy. You'll also be supporting the call to action nonprofit which is
devoted to helping veterans and first responders so you can make a difference
and taste the difference by ordering today at Rudy.coffee.
It doesn't stay up we got to find a way to keep it up. This is Rudy Giuliani I'm
back with you and I have a little bit more of my Rudy coffee left.
I had three cups this morning.
Made it myself.
Sometime, either we'll do it live or I'll tape it and put it on.
I'll show you how I make it.
I enjoy it a lot, making coffee.
It's like a hobby.
It became a hobby sometime before the pandemic.
I bought myself a grinder and Just a regular coffee machine, then.
So I started grinding my own beans about five or six years ago, and then I started looking around for what I liked best, and then I started doing some mixtures, and then when I met Darren, who runs the whole operation for Rudy Coffee, he started to explain to me how the coffee could be a lot better and a lot healthier.
And I don't know if we emphasize enough how healthy Rudy coffee is.
No additives, no preservatives, no junk in it.
It's all natural.
Even the decaf, which is always made with some chemicals, we use a water process to decaffeinate it.
And number one, it's 100% as healthy then as regular coffee.
But number two, it tastes better.
In fact, this all tastes better.
When you grind it, right from the beginning, it tasted better.
I always put sugar, and then when I wanted to lose weight or what, I used those terrible substitute things, which are, you know, like rat poison.
I haven't used a rat poison in five years, which is maybe why I'm feeling healthier at 80 than I did at 75.
And used correctly, coffee is extremely healthy for you.
There is a dispute as to whether you get any benefits beyond three cups a day.
I've seen articles that say you do.
I've seen articles that say you don't.
But there are no health detriments from it that I know of.
And remember when you were young, I remember my mother, I'm sure I inherit this from my mother, my mother was a 12 coffee a day person.
Uh, whether she was working or not, uh, most of the time she was a stay at home mom.
But then when I was older, she went to work and, uh, I think she used to, you know, have an IV line.
I love coffee.
And she experimented with two in her way.
So I think I inherited a lot of stuff.
You know, a lot of this stuff, you know, you, you, you don't, you don't pick it up until later in life.
And your parents put it there somewhere, but you either rejected it, or you didn't pay attention to it, and then it worked.
And I'm so happy, the stuff that my parents taught me.
I'm just a very, very lucky man.
I wouldn't be here, of course, if it wasn't for them.
And their love for me, and their guidance, both father and mother.
My father, I would, both of them contributed to everything.
But my father's emphasis would be my being a man.
He brought me up as a man.
Honor.
Tell the truth.
Loyalty.
You don't need a gang to defend you.
You can defend yourself.
Don't be a bully.
Taught me how to box.
And with boxing, I got as many lessons in not misusing it.
I never want to see you taking advantage of anyone.
You better not start a fight, but if you start one, you better finish it.
I can tell you a lot of stories about that, but The border.
So we just accused Biden of being responsible for this shooting of that police officer.
It's a hell of a lot better than the stuff they accused Trump of.
Just remember, when you go vote, 400,000 under Trump, 3.5 million under Biden.
Maybe, maybe.
Total, 12 million.
We got 12 million people running around this country, we don't know who they are.
Like this guy.
Somebody let him in.
The guy that shot the cop, and he's been grabbing a cell phone since then.
And there's a big, big, big cell phone racket.
And not just in New York, but they must share it with each other.
And a lot of them do it on mopeds.
This guy had a moped, or bicycles, or electronic bicycles.
They just come by and boom!
You're on your phone, right?
You're on your phone, you're holding it here, and boom!
They just come by and pull it out of your hand.
You don't even get a chance to defend yourself.
But by the time it's gone, they're halfway down the block.
Right.
They came here to work.
So Adams created work for them and 5% showed up for work.
But I mean, that's another stupid thing because Biden is now Well, there's an article right here in, this is the post of the Wall Street Journal, I can't see it.
Joe loves border jumpers, like the guy who just shot the cop.
And he's invented new ways now to encourage the tide.
You know, a lot of these people falsely claim asylum.
It used to be their claims were about 5% correct.
But now what he does, first of all, the Biden judges, you can see how he fixes the judges, right?
You know that anger moron and the other guy with the daughter making millions going after Trump.
I mean, you know they're not square, right?
Somebody said that this guy's honest.
Somebody honest doesn't remain on a case when his daughter is When his daughter is making a fortune with clients who go after Trump, and also ends up giving free passes to the people who pay her money, or has the gall to sit on a case where he gave money to a Stop Trump movement.
I would think that any defendant, make it Trump or anyone else, is entitled to have a judge who hasn't donated a penny to a movement to stop How would you feel, Mr. Smith, if you got accused of fraud, and you weren't guilty, and the judge in your case had contributed money to stop you?
I think the guy would be taken off the case.
Not in crooked New York.
No, no, no.
So the first thing they've done is a new one to me, because I did asylum cases when I was in the Justice Department.
I had to deal with the Haitian asylum cases.
This year they closed 350,000 asylum cases over two and a half years, rather.
You know what that means?
They close it and they let them stay here.
They don't find asylum.
They don't not find asylum.
They just close it.
Probably they close it because there's no really good asylum claim, or they grant it.
And the people are allowed to freely move around the country.
But they're still illegal.
And then there are eight different programs that have allowed in 3.3 million migrants to get work permits.
I mean, this is like work permits were considered a draw of illegals to the border.
He's increased them by a gigantic amount, by 10 times.
Biden has.
They have the Wipe the Record Clean program.
And these are the cases that are dismissed, but they're allowed to stay here.
In 2020, the last year that Trump was president, there were 4,700 of those.
Under Biden, within one year, they went up to 102,000.
Then 149,000.
And this year, it's going to be way above 149,000.
In other words, they've gone up 20 times.
I mean, he finds every way to bring illegals so they can get here and do what they just did to that police officer.
Because unlike Trump, he doesn't vet them.
To the Chinese, they're asked four questions.
That's a mockery.
And we have a mockery of a president who should be removed for committing crimes.
That's a crime not to follow the law like that.
We'll be back in a moment.
We'll finish up on this border topic and we'll take a look not only at the trial that took place retrospectively, but the trial that's taking place now at Hunter's home.
In Delaware, are they doing at his house or in a courtroom?
I think Jill is there.
Yeah, Jill is in the courthouse.
Yeah, Jill, the first stepmother is there, but she's very close to Hunter.
You read the Read the hard mail.
I mean, read the hard drive and you'll get the hard truth about this relationship.
I think she was his babysitter.
What?
Wasn't she his babysitter?
I don't know about that, but he sure... There's no love lost between the two of them, at least in the hard drive.
Joe and Jill's getting together.
I want to read that again.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And she really loves his baby, Navy.
Doesn't even put out a Christmas stocking for her so she can break her heart.

And we're back.
Well, welcome back.
Let me finish up on this border thing.
This parole thing, you know, there's a great analysis all over the post today about the border thing, and I have been warned about this.
Gosh, when we were out at the first American warehouse, some of the people that were with Tom were telling me about how they were starting, how nobody knows how they do this, but this could account for a couple of million people.
So they do things like they dismiss cases, asylum cases, and they're pushing, you know, well, I mean, they get up to about a million.
And you think the cases have been, by being dismissed, you think the cases have been resolved, let the people stay around.
And then they offer work permits to people overseas.
And then they started the program two years ago, when he and the major liar, Mayorca, said, oh, we're going to really cut down the border of people coming in over the border.
We're going to have the, what was it, the CBD1 program?
Well, you can call up and you can make a reservation for an asylum appointment here.
The minute you can do it, you're allowed to come in and it's not illegal.
They were going to only do, I don't know, a thousand a day, or they're going to keep it way down.
Well, they do unlimited numbers, and they're in the hundreds of thousands with those now, and a lot of them don't even show up for the hearing.
Most of them don't.
And they're hanging around.
They paroled in about 700,000 that way in 22 to 23.
So basically, they have found every single way to let people in by violating the law.
It should be a crime.
I mean, they made up crimes for Trump.
In the case of Biden, they let him get away with crimes over and over and over again.
And then we end up with police officers like the two today that were That was shot and only alive because of the grace of God, not because of Adams or Biden.
And why do I blame it on Adams?
Because they're in free housing given to them by Biden.
Nicer housing than our homeless get.
They're at one of the Adams multi-million dollar shelters.
That's what he pays for them.
30 million, 40 million.
Uh, one where he's, uh, they give him cash because they weren't, they give him cash cards, which are actually like, I think Visa or MasterCard because they didn't like the food.
I mean, it's just New York that does that.
There was in Denver, I think they had a big protest with the mayor.
The mayor wasn't giving them nice enough services.
I'd put them all on a bus and send them somewhere else.
I got the place for them.
People said, what would you do with the mayor, Giuliani?
First of all, they wouldn't come here.
Because they'd be afraid to come here.
I would do things like arrest him if they committed a crime and not let him out on bail.
They wouldn't like that.
I did have a reputation of being a tough mayor.
He's got a reputation of being a sucker.
And, you know, backed up by brag, And he stopped complaining about Bragg the minute Bragg opened an investigation on him.
The thing to do with Adams, obviously, is open an investigation on him and he shuts up.
He shuts up about Biden.
He shuts up about Bragg.
Meanwhile, we suffer.
People get killed.
People get beaten.
The country that the case is about that he got allegedly is in trouble with is Turkey.
Looks like the number of Turkish migrants crossing the southern border has illegally rocketed under the Biden administration.
And they are special cases because they got money.
And they've been invited by several of the cartels as favored illegals.
What does that mean?
Favored illegals mean they get some real bucks out of them.
And they've been coming in in undetermined numbers.
You know, the ones we count are triple and quadruple.
But if they're coming in with these special deals with the cartels, they're coming in in that third category, which is we never get to see them.
And of course, nobody wants to talk about that.
You got the group, they get stopped at the border and they get processed.
Most of them should be sent right back.
We take in most of them.
On this ridiculous asylum claim, other humanitarian claims.
We've taken somewhere between 70 to 80% of them.
We've taken about 20.
Second, we have the gotaways.
The gotaways are the people we see, but we don't catch.
So we'll write a report.
50 people were in a bus.
We couldn't get the bus.
That kind of thing.
So we have a fix on how many of those there are.
And they were about another 30%.
And in some ways, even more dangerous, because we don't know anything about them.
We don't know much about the people that come in and we let go.
We hardly vet them, but at least we have a name and a place they went.
Good luck if you can try to find them again, because they don't stay there.
And good luck if they're not criminals, because that's the kind of people that are coming over now, criminals.
This is not a big influx of people that want to come here for work.
It's a big influx of people that want to come here to steal your credit cards or your cell phone or shoot you.
A lot of people coming over to sell you drugs, particularly fentanyl, where we are the capital now.
We've got more drug overdoses than ever before.
Thank you, Joe Biden.
We've got more human trafficking than any country on earth.
Thank you, Joe Biden.
And thank you for the Americans who voted for him.
And hopefully you're not going to be stupid enough or mean enough to do it to us again.
But the Turks are coming in like crazy.
Now that's dangerous for several reasons.
Looks like it's a special deal with the cartels.
So they're coming in for a purpose, which means they may be working with them.
Second, they come from a country that has become, over the years, very, very anti-American, anti-Israel.
Much more religiously Muslim fanatics, where, you know, under Ataturk, the great leader of Turkey, they had become like a completely non-sectarian Muslim country, sort of an example to the world, even ahead of Iran under the Shah.
Now, just the opposite.
Just the opposite.
I mean, they're pretty much on the side of Iran.
They've really cracked down.
They've killed a lot of people.
They've killed a lot of, again, Armenians.
They've killed a lot of Greeks.
All over religion.
I mean, that whole thing about, you know, wiping out the Armenian genocide?
It's because they're Christians.
They were wiped out because they were Christians.
And why do they attack Greeks all the time?
Because they're Christians.
The imperative to kill Jews from Mohammed is as great to kill Christians.
Unless they convert, we'll pay you money.
That's right out of the Koran, ladies and gentlemen.
Not really.
So New York City had a hell of a time while Brad was sitting in court like he's one of those retired courtroom people.
You know who they are?
I mean, they're wonderful people, but they don't have a job.
And they probably have had a very great career, and they sit around the courtroom, and they watch trials.
I'm sure they have them in the state court.
They used to have them in the federal court.
I got to know them really well, because I tried a lot of cases as an assistant U.S.
attorney.
And then as a U.S.
attorney, I would sometimes show up and sit there and ask them questions.
They would tell me who my good assistants were and my bad ones.
Bragg had a nice month of just watching.
He didn't do anything in the trial, right?
Probably would have peed in his pants if he had to get up in front of the judge.
I mean, these guys don't try cases anymore, these big mouth U.S.
attorneys who have no idea what constitutional rights are.
I mean, the case he put together is a monstrosity.
It's an anti-American, anti-Constitution monstrosity put together by someone who wants to destroy our criminal justice system for Marxist reasons, which is why Soros put him there.
Soros didn't put Bragg there to enforce the law.
He'd be the only one he put.
To enforce the law.
The guy in Philadelphia set records for homicide.
The one in San Francisco got thrown out and a second one came in.
And then he didn't, he had to leave.
Now, and one of them went to Los Angeles after he ruined San Francisco.
He's now ruining Los Angeles.
I was with someone this weekend who had been in Los Angeles all his life and it's moving.
He said it's a disaster.
It's a disaster.
He said it's worse than New York.
Well, Uh, while he was, while he was messing around in court, apparently crime was going nuts in Manhattan.
Uh, patrol borough Manhattan North and Manhattan South, uh, figure is up about 700, about 700, uh, compared to 2019 before COVID and before we were, uh, before we got the, uh, criminal releasing, uh, uh, Brag, it's up about 23%.
So he has solved the dangerous crime of making a false statement or making a mistake in your business records, one single one.
That's seven, how many years old is it?
Goes back to eight years old, 10 years old.
Nobody can do that anymore.
The scourge of accountants putting false or misleading statements in business records.
Bragg, you know, has spent probably 10 to 20% of the budget of his office and 10 to 20% of his assistant DA solving that.
Meanwhile, felonious assault is up 70% and most of them are the same people doing it.
So, I mean, Bragg, I mean, do you have Bragg's priorities?
We should spend time on time-barred cases where somebody put a false description down that arguably was a correct one.
I mean, we could fight all day over that.
That wasn't legal expense.
If you only have a couple of words you can put in a box.
Wasn't that a better description than hush money?
Since it wasn't all hush money, it was also other legal expenses.
And isn't hush money a legal expense?
So I'm going to take a short break, a little early, so I can cure this little cough, whatever the heck it is, and therefore I won't be interrupted in communicating with my good friends.
We'll be back very, very shortly, and we'll take a look at the impact We'll take a look at the impact of the trial, because, I mean, it's probably going to take us a week, but let's get an early prediction of it, okay?
We'll be right back.
to live his honor's 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.

What?
It's funny.
I always came in the side and waited for him in that, um, waited for him in that lobby, the side lobby.
Go back.
We're back, and I was just discussing when I used to go meet Don.
We're going to have to let Ted walk behind us, and everybody knows Ted.
Ted is a very, very fastidious dresser, and he doesn't like it when you see him like this.
He looks like a kid, right?
He's not as young as he looks, but he's a kid.
And I had him on, you know, for Uncovering the Truth Institute with Dr. Maria.
Man, we're getting inundated with all these girls that want to go out with him.
Is he single?
Is he single?
How many times do I get... You know, you've always told me, Mayor, you've never lied, right?
But maybe in some cases... How many times have I been asked if you were single?
Yeah, you have been, but... You were there when I was asked a couple of times, just recently.
Is he single?
This girl comes up to me and says, is he single?
And he is!
He is!
Which is very encouraging, you know?
Oh yeah, but... And she was a pretty enough girl, right?
But nothing wrong with... I mean, it isn't as if these girls come up who are... You're not allowed to comment on that.
I always look at it this way.
Everybody has their own attractions.
I mean, you can look at someone and think they're beautiful, and I can think they're not.
That's true.
And vice versa.
And we have a few disagreements every once in a while.
I can tell you who, but we have a few disagreements.
They're all very nice and very pretty, but it's the ones that really appeal to you and ones that don't.
I'm sure that's true with men and women, when we used to be men and women.
Well, the mayor being the gentleman that he is, and being who he is, is a great, I don't want to call it a wingman, But he's, if you, he's a good person.
It was hard to be the main pilot.
You know, one of the great disappointments in my life was when I couldn't, when they wouldn't train me to fly a jet because I had, I had ear, I had punctured eardrums.
And it was at a period of time before, it was a period of time where they could be very, very picky.
It was before the Vietnam War, about a year or two before the Vietnam War required they're taking everybody.
And there's a big difference in the army on qualifications.
Like right now they're down like four, by four or 5,000 in recruits.
Yeah.
So your chance of getting in the army, if you're a little bit off the, off the mark is much greater right now.
But when I was, when I was, uh, in the ROTC, they had more people than they needed.
And I wanted to desperately be, uh, a jet pilot.
And, uh, I had had serious pneumonia, and I had had a punctured eardrum, which I remembered because my eardrum exploded.
I was about 14.
And my doctor, about a year later, said it was cured.
So I went for my first Air Force physical, and they said, you have a punctured eardrum.
I said, I don't.
It was cured.
And they were going to kind of throw me out.
And I went to my doctor.
I don't know what good this would do, because The flight surgeon decides, but I got a note from my doctor allowing me to stay in.
And then finally, after an extra six months of that, they did a test and it turned out I had a punctured itch in both ears, which I don't think is, I think they just wanted to get rid of me.
I don't remember that one.
And I was like, my life, I tell kids, you know, who lose a girlfriend or something, they fail.
I tell kids my life was over.
I didn't know what I was going to do.
I went through so many careers—priest, Air Force pilot, doctor—and then I ended up being a lawyer.
Hmm.
Okay.
Well, the one that really gets me—first, I want to thank Nicole Galinas for mentioning me.
I'm more sensitive now than I used to be, I find, whether I get mentioned or not.
And I probably think people—maybe because of all the things that are going on—there has to be some reaction to it, right?
And I think I may have said Nicole didn't mention me, but she was very nice and she put down that she put down that they already have more crimes on Broadway than halfway through my crime reform.
Wow.
I think she locates 1997 as the year.
And it's very nice.
Thank you, Nicole, for doing that.
But in any event, Thank you for bringing it to our attention too.
Broadway is getting overwhelmed with crime and it's having a big impact on, we're not, we're not back.
We're still down, um, a big 17% below where we were before the pandemic in terms of, uh, people coming to the shows and we're down by 16% on revenue.
Whereas in London, which we would compare ourselves to, they're like, uh, above where they used to be.
So this is not theater coming back.
This is people don't want to come to Broadway.
Now, why would they want to come to Broadway?
Felony crime in Midtown Manhattan, which includes Times Square, remains 50% higher than it was in 2019.
Serious assaults have tripled.
They've tripled!
Even, this is what she says here, even in 1997, halfway through Rudy Giuliani's first crime-fighting term, such assaults in the early part of the year reached only 154.
And they've already exceeded it.
And each year, so it's up, I mean, thank you for comparing it, but I mean, the real comparisons for the people now are with a current situation.
You know, crime was much worse.
When I became mayor, 2,000 murders a year, right?
We had reached 2,000 murders a year.
We don't have anything like 2,000 murders a year now.
Or even some of the other categories are getting there to where they used to be, but they're still not there.
But people over the last 20 years, from about the year she locates, 96, 97, when the crime increases started to take hold on the quality of life, People who grew up in this city under me or Bloomberg were, some of the old-timers would say, were spoiled because they didn't have the crime levels that we used to have for 30 years under the Democrats, which actually started with Lindsey, who was a Republican who became a Democrat.
However, To assess their fear, lack of fear, you gotta look at their experience.
So it's very wise to take a look at the pre-pandemic, you know, the 2018, 2019, even 2020, well, those two years, numbers.
And then see, did the crime go way up because of the pandemic, or is it something more Is it something that has to do with all the criminals they let out on the street?
Well, surely that's what it has to do.
And I mean, the difference is.
There are 7000 more people, I'd say maybe 9 out on the street than when I was mayor.
Or when Ray Kelly and Bloomberg were there.
And that's how you get the 50% increase.
In serious felony assaults, and in some cases, three-time increase.
And a lot of it's concentrated on Broadway, which is the critical point for us.
I used to describe it as the capital of the world.
And people who come to New York are going to go to Broadway, and they're going to bring back with them to wherever they're coming from, out of town or a foreign country, they're going to bring back what they see on Broadway.
And what they're seeing right now is people getting shot, people getting beaten up, murders.
Yep.
Adams is very, very proud that murders it now.
Good.
I congratulate him for that, but he's missing, he's missing the real big picture because most people aren't affected by murder.
Murder is nowadays a couple hundred a year, whereas felonious assaults are, you know, 7,000, 8,000.
That's going to affect, when they get, when they start to go up, every family gets affected.
And then tourists get affected.
There aren't going to be that many tourists that ever get killed, but you get those felonious assault numbers up and then some large numbers of your tourists get affected.
And it isn't just the people who are the victims, it's the people who watch it.
It's the people who are here from, uh, from South Bend, Indiana, right?
And they're walking along and they see somebody beaten up.
Well, it's almost as if they were beaten up.
This guy doesn't understand it.
And when you try to bull people, like he does, and he wants to convince people things are real safe and wonderful.
Don't do that because you're not connecting.
People don't feel that way.
Same thing with Biden, you know, the economy is great.
Yeah, I'm paying three to four times more every time I go in the store.
How can you tell me that?
Even gasoline, which he said, oh, it's down.
It's down from the unbelievable high that you created.
And it's 30% higher than Trump.
So we're going to take a short break and we'll be right back.

Adams, New York City, I wrote on the top.
Monster chokes six-year-old.
Good Samaritan shot in hand on the very, very safe subways.
Teen murdered in housing project.
On the top there of Adams, New York City.
But things are very safe!
We've got murder now!
It's not going to help the kid who got killed.
And if felonious assaults are up 70%, a lot more people are going to feel that than murder.
And sometimes felonious assault, not being murdered, is the grace of God.
And if I put my name on something, I truly believe in it.

Welcome back, and this is the mayor's final word that's sponsored by Tunnel to Towers, T2T.org.
You make sure you make your contribution to Tunnel to Towers, and you're making your contribution to police officers and soldiers and sailors and other first responders who are seriously injured Or who die in the line of duty, and you're also making a contribution to end homelessness among our veterans, which is a stain on our country.
A stain that, you know...
People, people, I first, at very first, first time I realized how little the veterans get in comparison, like if they're killed in the line of duty, whatever, in comparison to police officers.
I was really upset.
But then I realized, I mean, the scope of one and the scope of the other is very, very different.
The numbers.
And therefore, I do think the government should do more.
And I think Trump will.
I mean, Trump was great at concentrating on the veterans hospital.
Biden didn't pay any attention to it.
But I think it is also incumbent on us to help out.
And people do with the police.
We've had police funds in this city well before me.
I didn't create them.
I enhanced some of them.
I created the biggest one of all, the Twin Towers Fund, which distributed $230 million to victims of September 11.
But the others, many of them were there.
And I have to tell you, Trump and George Steinbrenner were enthusiastic participants in that.
So we do have in New York like a real come together for the police, even though we have a lot now of these progressive defund the police.
It's not pointed out, and largely because Adams had universal newspaper support, which was terrible, because a lot of it was silly, because there's nothing in his background that would have suggested he could do this job.
He was a non-productive police officer who was basically a big-mouthed activist, and it turns out he's afraid.
Uh, not stupid, not dumb.
He got, he got a lot of the right ideas.
He's afraid to execute them if they're controversial.
And I mean, basically Biden cut his legs off, uh, immigration, uh, when he's put them under investigation and now, uh, and now the state has them under investigation too.
So, uh, if you have, I mean, I was warned about Adams.
I mean, I'll tell you exactly what I was told.
One very, very prominent New Yorker told me he's not going to make it through his first term.
Let's see.
Because of his involvement with the Democrat machine.
He was involved with the Brooklyn machine, which is a danger.
The Hunter Biden trial.
I mean, you know, you're going to have things like, oh, Mr. Biden, would you like a Have you had enough breaks today?
Is there enough water on Mr. Biden's table?
You better watch out.
I mean, all the court personnel in Delaware have got to be intimidated like hell.
When I was there to turn in the hard drive because it contained child pornography, I was told by the police, who by the way, supported Trump.
Tells you something, huh?
That the family has been a menace there for years, and that almost all of them have gotten in trouble.
And he's not the nice guy you think he is.
He's a basic prick.
And they don't like him, but they're afraid of him.
I mean, to the point where John Mac Isaacs was afraid he'd be killed.
That could be exaggerated by the circumstances, but I don't know, they went pretty damn far to stop Trump Who knows?
And once somebody feels that, you can't just dismiss it and say, oh, no, no, no, when you don't know for sure.
But he's gone and he's had to leave Delaware, and all the poor guy did is turn in relevant evidence that could have prevented an impeachment.
I mean, the first impeachment with that Ukrainian thing, had we had the hard drive, it would have been totally disproven.
To this day, I don't understand how Now, Breg and Ray sat on that.
They already had the hard drive.
It was already verified.
When Biden was making those claims that we were Russian agents and had Russian earmarks, the FBI knew that that wasn't true.
They knew it as of eight months earlier.
I knew it wasn't true because I'd validated it myself.
But I had to put up with it because the left-wing press wouldn't believe me.
Even some of my friends wouldn't believe me.
It was time, tough time, but it's worth it if we can get through it and re-establish our right of free speech, our right of a fair trial.
Right of fair trial is gone now.
It's reserved for people like Hunter Biden and Joe Biden and Hillary.
In fact, I don't think Hunter is getting, he almost got it, he almost got a fix, but that judge who intervened really stopped it.
So let's see, let's see what happens because Unlike Trump, he's not going to have a hostile jury.
He's going to have a jury that votes Democrat, that is Democrat, but also might have some knowledge of just how perverted and scurrilous that family is.
This case, by the way, is a cut-and-dried case.
This is one where it should be a conviction in two minutes.
He filled out a form in which he said he wasn't addicted, and he got a gun.
He's been addicted for 20 to 25 years.
He's been in and out of addiction centers, I think, maybe two or three times that year.
He wrote in a book that he was doing heavy use of drugs that year.
He'd like to say, well, I wasn't high that day.
That isn't what the form is asking for.
It's asking whether you're addicted or ever been addicted.
There are pictures of him driving an automobile, smoking crack, which is very, very hazardous to children.
And there are numerous pictures of him sitting in a closet filled with crack smoke, in a home that minor children lived in, or walking around with no clothes on, smoking crack, at or about the time that he filled out that form.
That's crime number one.
Crime number two is carrying the gun around.
That's a 10-year felony.
A drug addict is not allowed to carry a gun.
And don't tell me you feel bad for the drug addicts.
The reason the law is there is because we feel bad for you if drug addicts get to do that.
Because the belief from the gun control people is that people who are addicted to drugs, people who are mentally ill, and people who are criminals shouldn't have guns.
I mean, that's a form of gun control, correct?
Now, there are people that say that He's going to be acquitted based on the Second Amendment.
That'd be strange since he and his father and his whole family are one of the biggest supporters of gun control and attack on Second Amendment rights.
I don't get how a restriction of a drug addict having a gun is a Second Amendment issue.
I mean, Second Amendment gives you a right to defend yourself, but it also has to be balanced against, you know, reasonable protection for the community, like every other right is.
Like, you know, you have a total right of free speech, which is being beaten up like crazy by the Biden people, but you still have a right to penalize someone who yells fire in a crowded theater and gets everybody in the theater killed.
So, there's a fine line here.
You're not affecting the right of people to have guns if you're also taking into account that there are some people that are too crazy, too addicted, who are just an essential walking danger if they have it.
That doesn't affect the right of the vast majority to exercise their rights.
It'd be interesting to see what happens in this case, even factually, with a jury that could be very much inclined in his favor.
Because legally, there's no reason to acquit him.
Law says drug addict has to sign the form saying they're a drug addict, and a drug addict can't carry a gun.
He signed a form saying he wasn't, number one.
Number two, he carried the gun around.
Guilty, guilty.
We'll see what happens.
The attacks on the verdict now include Romney and McConnell, as well as Governor Patterson, the former governor of New York, and even Cyrus Vance, the prior DA, who had determined the case shouldn't be brought.
So when you say that these are just the Trump people who are attacking the The lack of judgment and the unfairness and the overzealousness of this prosecution, that's not true.
There are anti-Trump people, as well as some Democrats, and they see the long-term danger that if it can happen to him, it can happen to you.
I see it because it happened to me.
And if it can happen to me, it can happen to you, like all the other people that have been indicted.
And the people who can't get lawyers because they've been frightened because of what's been done to lawyers like me and the professor and now you name it.
So let's see what happens in the first day of the trial and we'll have a little more into it by tomorrow and get to compare what I think certainly at a minimum Hunter's going to get a fair trial.
There's no reason to think he isn't going to get a fair trial.
The question is, is it going to be, hmm, The Golden Circle kind of trial that you would expect for those people who have not been prosecuted for crimes that are so apparent they cry out for prosecution.
Let's see.
We'll see what happens.
So we'll be back eight o'clock tonight.
Don't forget.
We got plenty more to cover and lots of news that's censored and kept away from you.
Usually the most interesting.
And we'll do an analysis of the election tonight and where it stands.
We didn't get a chance to do it right now, but where it stands as a result of this change in circumstances.
Did it help Trump?
Did it hurt Trump?
And we know on the money side it helped him and we don't know on the other.
So we have some ideas on it.
Well, you have a great day.
God bless the people of Israel.
God bless the people of the United States.
