America's Mayor Live (558): President Trump's Election Victory Already Yielding Results
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
Thank you.
Soon to be president about.
I guess I better do it before he's president.
Although I'm willing to disagree with him.
My mother would love this.
My mother was very much in favor of the U.S. taking over Canada.
Your mother would love it if the U.S. took over Canada?
She thought we missed an opportunity several times to take over Canada.
Said it would have been better for them and better for us.
And all that confusion about French nationalism would have been cured because Americans do a much better job during my mother's era Of integrating people.
The problem of integration always has been in Europe, where new people come in, but being French, or being Italian, or being German, or being Irish, or being English, it's a very strong, strong thing.
You don't come from someplace and easily have that happen.
It's changed a little now.
But America, we're extremely flexible.
We started with the English, but then we had the Dutch, then we had the Huguenots, then we had the French, then we had the Germans, then we had the Irish, then we had the Jews, then we had the Italians, then we had the Greeks, then we had the Various South American countries.
Then we had independent migration from Africa, beyond the horrible slave situation, the terrible slave situation.
Then we overcame the slave situation, in part.
First part, in the 19th century.
Second part, not until the mid-20th century.
But we overcame it.
That's the thing about us.
More than any other country, we overcome our wrongdoing, even maybe our evil.
And in the propaganda story created by the Marxists and the American haters, that's always left out.
How you can condemn an entire white race for racism is totally ignorant of the fact that hundreds of thousands of white men died to free black men at a time in which that wasn't exactly the most obvious social choice.
And from the beginning, they were abolitionists among white people.
And from the beginning, there were slaveholders among black people in Africa.
So it's a terrible story, and it's a terrible story of black oppression, but it's not as simple as the Marxists make it.
And make no mistake about it, Black Lives Matter that you saw demonstrating against Mr. Penny is a communist organization founded and through and through.
So is the Teachers Union, by the way.
Please don't ignore that.
So, Ray is going.
That's very, very good.
Should he be prosecuted?
You're damn right he should be prosecuted.
And Rich Lowry, you're wrong.
It's not revenge.
It's called justice.
And they get away with it because they convince us Republicans, including people like you, that there's something wrong with applying the laws fairly and equally.
If they can prosecute me for advocating for my client, get me arrested, get me handcuffed, get me fingerprinted and photographed, they can invade my apartment, invade my law office, honestly, for doing nothing but being a lawyer.
It would seem to me they could prosecute Chris Wray for framing somebody on purpose for years.
It would seem to me they could prosecute Chris Wray for covering up One of the most significant pieces of evidence in American history, the hard drive.
That's always been a crime.
Covering up evidence.
Are we going to make an exception?
It isn't that we're taking revenge.
What we're doing is we're giving them exceptions to the law that wouldn't apply to other people because we're afraid to prosecute them because they'll say we're unfair.
And then that goes on generation after generation and they get worse and worse and worse.
I mean, you didn't prosecute Clintons.
You got the Obamas.
Obama then gives hundreds of millions in cash to a terrorist.
He should have gone to jail forever for that.
He got away with that.
Hillary smashed up 33,000 emails.
Servers lied 14 times.
Then all of a sudden, the foundation is taking money from Russia and China.
Took most of its money from Ukraine.
Nobody cares.
It's them.
It'll be embarrassing to go after them.
And meanwhile, they make up crimes against Republicans to sort of cover what they're doing.
You're not going to end that by just saying, oh, we're afraid to do it now.
It'll make the president look bad if we do it.
To whom?
To the people who want a two-tier system of justice.
That's who will make it look bad.
I'm surprised that Rich Lowry, for...
For his confusion about the use of language, I wish I had more time with this.
I have the words that he's giving a double meaning to underline.
I'd love to talk to him.
Rich, if you really want to have a conversation about it, I have great respect for you.
And there are plenty of areas where you know a lot more than I do.
I really think I know a little more than you do about the administration of justice.
It's a shame that a smart man like you gives you an idea of how their propaganda works.
Resist revenge, Don.
Prosecuting Jack Smith for the second time prosecuting an innocent man in violation of every law and rule I can think of is not revenge.
It's a preferential treatment if you don't.
It's actually a miscarriage of justice if you don't.
Well, there's a big battle going on to get Hague confirmed and all the Republican MAGA people are coming into it.
So I will say to you, Mr. Republican Senator, vote against it.
We'll never forget.
We'll never forget who was there for us when we needed someone to begin this fight, you know, with great courage and with tremendous enthusiasm.
And Pete Hexet deserves it.
He deserves the position.
No one knows better what has to be done to clean out the Defense Department and make it work for us as a fighting force rather than as some kind of an example of a Marxist DEI constituency.
And Pete's written about it.
He knows about it.
He is not He is not subjected to the prejudices of having been in the organization for too long or at a high enough level.
Later on, when we get a little time, I'm going to ask Ted to find Mitch McConnell falling apart.
It's time that he take his $5 million from his pro-red Chinese father-in-law and get the hell out.
Every time I see him, all I can think about is that he's the next chapter in the book right after Biden.
For the guy involved in unethical activity.
But also, he also is like Biden, because he doesn't know who the hell he is, except to be against Trump.
The Congress was going to pass a law, or try to pass a law, called something like this, Exploitative State Spying Act.
This was going to allow the press to keep traitors to the United States, giving them information secret.
Now, I don't know, at a time in which we really trusted the press, I'm not sure I'd agree with this.
Now?
Thanks to Senator Cotton, it's been held up.
Let's keep a close look at this one, Ted.
It's called the Press Act.
Of course, they call it Reporters Protect Reporters from Exploitative State Spying Act.
It means being able to use traitors to put out information that would damage our country.
And of course, the press treats our country.
The American press stopped being American citizens.
And they treat our country as just another country.
They forget they're Americans.
But I don't.
And it used to be that we said, okay, we'll let them have this leeway because they bring us the truth.
They haven't brought us the truth in 30 years.
So all we're doing is, you know, cooperating with a group of completely biased, one-sided people.
And I guess if they aren't biased, one-sided on our side, on their side, they're biased, one-sided on our side.
In any event, we're not dealing with a free and fair press that we can trust.
trust.
So why the hell are we allowing government secrets to go to them without penalty?
The federalist Ellie Purnell wrote a really good article about just how Garland could be the worst attorney general in history.
I hope that gains prominence because he was and we'll find time in the review Of the Biden administration, and distinctions have to be made between those who were prosecuted and those who were just revealed.
I don't believe there should be mass prosecutions of the Biden administration, even for those who committed lower levels of crimes.
This is about going after the big ones who tried to and in some ways did destroy our republic.
And who has to be prosecuted.
Otherwise, we continue with a two-tier system of justice and we let people get away with murder.
Matt Gaetz is going to be on OAN. Did you know that?
I guess for a while because that's a lot better.
I did not know that.
That's a lot better news.
So he's joining the media, former congressman, joining the media.
And then, of course, that...
Example of what the Democratic is all about, Anthony Weiner is leaving WABC and he's going to run for Congress.
Wait, wait.
John Castamatidis, who runs WABC and pretends to be a friend and supporter of Donald Trump, even though he fired me because I wanted to bring out new relevant information about the stealing of the election.
Well, he brought Weiner back.
And the question is, does Weiner have a...
Have one of those things where people have to be warned that he's a...
My understanding is that he did have to register...
I guess New York has something called a low-level sex offender.
I want to get this right.
And this is from 2019, so I should probably...
Do you know if it still exists?
That's what I cannot answer.
We want to be careful to get this right.
When he was coming into ABC, did he have to register?
As a low-level sex offender.
So that I can't tell you.
What I can tell you is that he is required to register for 20 years.
Oh, well, good.
As a level one offender.
So did ABC let the people know that they had on the air a published low-level sex offender who had to register?
Shouldn't that be considered in his objectivity?
So this is...
If it was a Republican, you'd be damn sure they would.
So this is from...
I believe 2019. And if it says 30 years, it encompasses the time that WABC and John Castamatidis brought him in and censored the coverage of the 2020 election to the point of misleading me and then eventually firing me.
So they keep a low-level offender and they got rid of me.
Please understand that, ladies and gentlemen.
About WABC? And now the low-level sex offender wants to go to Congress where he's going to have to register as a low-level sex offender in Congress.
Oh, the city council!
Oh, well, there it won't even matter.
Where in Congress is this guy?
Oh, he's going to the city council.
That's where he started.
That's scary.
Hey, the company's about to start somewhere.
Ted will remember the following story.
He was not very friendly.
When Chad Lopez, the hitman for Cats, came to me and wanted me to do a show with Wiener.
And he said, Cats wants you to do it.
Now, everybody else at ABC, if they say Cats wants to do it, they go down to the ground, they kiss the floor, and they give up all principles that they have.
uh not all almost all uh so i said to them did i say it nicely or did i just say go to hell uh i think you were a little diplomatic with this i just said no way i think i think it was a no i mean it was a no way are you kidding yeah it was more about like no you were very very very um what's the word i'm looking at i actually say very direct and very clear at the same time too i said andrew cuomo's problems are very very severe But Andrew
Cuomo, I don't know.
They're political problems.
They may be political.
It doesn't sound like they are.
The other guy's a sex offender.
What are we talking about?
What the hell do we have him on the air for?
I mean, free speech encompasses lots of things, including, you know, Andrew Cuomo says he didn't do it.
Okay.
He hasn't been tried.
He hasn't been found guilty.
Did he go to Yale?
Andrew Cuomo did not.
Oh, sorry, Cuomo.
Anthony Wiener is guilty.
Wiener went to jail.
And then did it again.
I mean, the guy's last name.
Wiener is not charged.
Wiener is not alleged.
No, Wiener is convicted.
Wiener is charged.
And convicted.
Yeah, Cuomo is not charged.
Right.
Sorry, I was mixing it up.
So, I mean, Cuomo, okay, you have a Republican or a Democrat and they have issues against him.
There are plenty of those.
It's hard to make distinctions between them.
So I didn't have any big objection to Cuomo, but I did with a sex offender.
And I don't know, low level, that's because he was a Democrat politician who got away with murder.
The stuff that he did.
Now, I don't know if you get over that stuff.
I don't know.
Psychiatrists tell me you don't.
I tend to think people get over lots of stuff, but I don't know.
This Mangione killing of the insurance executive has sure taken on a life of its own, huh?
Yes.
Yes, it has.
You know, a killing is awful, but I mean, there probably were several today we don't know about.
Right.
This guy and his motive seemed to be really affecting the American people.
And it does seem that his motive...
It sure as heck isn't like...
It doesn't seem to be like what we've been looking at in the past.
Is he a crazy left or a crazy right?
It looks like he had developed some obsession With insurance companies denying coverage, right?
Yes.
Particularly with what he wrote on the bullet casings, right?
Right.
To the point where he, and he apparently recently had, when I say recent, within the last couple years, back surgery.
And a back surgery that had left him, according to some reports, unable to have intimate relations or even a relationship in general, is how one friend That's important.
Everyone wants to talk about all this other stuff.
What does relationship in general mean?
He couldn't talk to people?
Well, I think it kept him from having, I'm guessing, a romantic relationship because he wasn't able to be intimate.
Okay, we got that.
Okay.
And so, therefore, again, this is what I'm hearing.
This isn't in any way justifying what he's doing.
What I'm trying to highlight for folks is that this could be somebody who is going through excruciating Pain.
Or some sort of situation where he's thinking, I can't do this anymore.
And unfortunately, he wanted to take another life in a very selfish manner.
I think it's more complicated than that since he's another guy with a manifesto.
I don't know what these guys now...
I don't think I ever prosecuted a murderer with a manifesto.
This guy's got a manifesto, and I don't know if that's the same as his handy to-do list.
But he had a handy to-do list on how to carry out the murder.
Now, let me tell you, he was smart as hell, but he wasn't the smartest hitman that ever existed.
I mean, he basically created...
They'd have caught him.
You don't do a murder out in the cold like that in New York City with the greatest homicide detectives in the world without getting caught.
But he made it easy.
He left behind so many traces that...
They wouldn't even include this one in the game, Clue.
It would be too easy to solve.
It could be interesting to see exactly.
I mean, there's a lot of possibilities as to what set them off with regard to the company and to Brian Thompson.
But why the focus on Tragically, on Brian Thompson.
And then the other thing that it kicked off, which is his own support from the people who said he was handsome, and then the people that, not just the people who said he was handsome,
but then the people that decided that It wasn't so bad that he killed him.
That's pretty bad stuff.
Seems like he had an absolutely beautiful family.
Seems to me like he had an absolutely beautiful family.
Whose picture I would love to show you, but my little thing here went down because we didn't charge it.
But I'll show you this picture instead.
This went down because we didn't get to see like we were supposed to an hour ago.
Here's the family right here.
Right here.
That's him, I guess, in the circle.
I don't know.
You take a look at him.
He looks like a perfectly normal guy.
His father and mother seem devastated.
Hard to understand.
I mean, maybe as facts come out, we'll learn more and more about it.
I fear that in these, I don't know what we want to call them, one-off type killings, you know, where they don't come out of an organization or terrorism or politics or They're as varied as the human personality.
In other words, his motivations are not going to tell you an awful lot about the motivations of the next one.
Maybe I'm wrong about that.
I don't know.
I always thought it was worth it studying these people as carefully as possible to see what we could gather out of it But I also was never convinced that it's going to be particularly fruitful.
It just has to be done in case I'm wrong.
Now, that was the bad news last week.
The good news was the acquittal of Daniel Penney, which was a great victory for justice at a time in which justice under this Democrat Communist regime has had very, very few victories.
And the victory was right in the middle of the Democrat dictatorship Not just of New York, but of Manhattan, which is corrupt as hell.
Judges appointed by Democratic bosses just because of politics, dominated by politics.
All you have to look at is the way they decide.
The political cases involving gerrymandering, one exception to that, gets flipped around by changing around the entire Court of Appeals politically.
The fact that if you're going to contest a Democrat in Manhattan, don't do it.
You're just going to lose.
And if you consider Judge Engelmoron and Judge Mensch, if you consider them fair judges, there's something really wrong with you.
I mean, both of them are products of a disgusting appointment system.
You know, the thing about this is it would be enormously helpful.
Is as the cases unmerged, the Anger Moron case, where he...
I can't possibly spend enough time telling you all the things that he did that were totally unfair, that no other judge anyplace else but in a dictatorship would do.
And then the one who had his criminal case was even worse.
He was never even charged with a crime.
They never told Trump what the felony was.
and then the judge let him do a less than unanimous verdict and he let in all kinds of evidence that was prejudicial and uh and neither one of them i mean both of them have completely corrupt appointment processes anger moron ran three times chosen by the democrat boss in new york county never had an opponent ha democrat dictatorship the other one He
never got elected.
He just got put on there by the Democrat bosses.
The current Democrat boss, by the way, had a father who was one of the worst judges in the history of New York.
Judge Sotomayor Bruce.
So you can imagine what he's like and the kinds of judges he selects in the image of his old man.
Which is one of the reasons why we have so many judges in New York that let criminals go free who then kill and beat the hell out of New Yorkers.
His father specialized in that.
Just read Ed Koch.
So we'll be back in a moment, and we're going to have a special guest talk to us about the economy and ways in which, you know, we've got to watch what's going on right now because it's in, let's say it's in a period in which it's very difficult to decide what direction it's going to go in, even if it's going to improve what direction it's going to go in.
We'll be right back.

And welcome back to America's Mayor Live with America's Mayor, Rudy Giuliani.
That's me, Rudy Giuliani.
We're going to have with us very shortly Andrew Sorcini, who is the president and CEO. Oh, there he is, Andrew!
President and CEO of Beverly Hills Precious Metals Incorporated.
And one of the real experts on...
Well, I was going to say on gold and precious metals, but to be that, you've got to be an expert on the economy, the overall economy.
And that's what we want to talk to you about, because we're at a time, Andrew, when I think the American people are in a state of confusion.
We have a change in administration.
We have a change in economic policy.
What are the things they should be looking for to...
Protect themselves.
Hello, sir.
Thanks for having me and thanks for letting me share this with your audience because it's important.
So the biggest thing is that we're moving away from cash as we know it.
It's not just here in the United States, it's globally.
And the BRICS nations, which are a group of countries with the sole purpose of de-dollarizing the globe, it started off as five countries.
Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa.
And it now has actually expanded to where 59 countries have recently applied to join.
And now the BRICS nations currently control 81.5% of the world's money.
They really do.
They're succeeding, sir, at de-dollarizing the globe.
And I think that that's why President Trump is bringing in Elon Musk, who knows quite a bit about cryptocurrency, to really help guide us as things start to change.
And if we're not on top of this, then the rest of the countries aren't going to use the dollar for anything at all ever again.
Did you say 1.5% of the world's currency?
The BRICS nations control 81.5% of all the world's money.
They do.
They're led by Russia and China.
And every year they have a new leader.
This year it's Putin.
And what they're doing is...
They're hoarding the world's gold in record amounts.
So China just recently found this claim that they found a mine just loaded with gold that's ready to be mined, just tons and tons and tons of it.
They're hoarding the world's gold because this new central bank digital currency that they're trying to roll out to replace the dollar as the world's reserve currency is going to be so powerful that it's going to be backed by gold.
And Donald Trump is aware of this.
I saw him on an interview, and this is a quote.
He said, if the United States were to lose the status that they have right now as a world's reserve currency, if the dollar were to lose that status, that it's greater than losing any war.
That's a strong statement.
You could see that.
I mean, when you say 81.5% of the world's currency, does that include the American dollar?
And does that include gold?
It doesn't include the American dollar, but it does include gold.
So what they're really trying to do is have this gold-backed digital currency.
And you can see how popular digital currency has gotten since Trump won the election.
So it's not going anywhere.
It's here to stay.
And if you look at the young people out there, if you go to a shopping mall or places where there are a lot of 20-somethings or even teens, they're glued to their phones all day long.
You just see them looking at their phones.
They want anything in the world that they need to do, they want to use their phone to do it.
So if you were to tell them Would you rather pay, or ask them, would you rather pay for things using your phone with some sort of digital currency, or would you like to do how I've always done my entire life, and my parents and their parents before them, and pay for things with paper currency and coins?
But really, this is going away.
It really is.
You're right.
I mean, that started to move away with the credit card, but at least it was somewhat balanced.
And now it's gone viral.
If I'm not mistaken, and tell me if I'm wrong, Andrew, does that mean that only 18.5% of the world currency is available for America to control?
It's true.
We're actually losing this.
And here's where it really started.
So for 50 years, and you probably know a lot about this, for 50 years, the United States had the petrodollar.
So we had an arrangement with Saudi Arabia where Nixon sent Kissinger over to Saudi Arabia to make a deal.
And the deal was, we will protect the House Assad and make sure that Saudi Arabia would not be attacked.
And in return, we need you to have a certain percentage of all the oil transactions be with the US dollar.
So imagine this is like one of the greatest deals America ever made because if China wanted to buy oil from Russia, they needed to use the US dollar.
And this was an amazing thing.
And on June 9th of this year, that 50-year deal expired.
So now our dollars are not backed by gold.
They're not backed by oil.
And if they're not backed by any kind of commodity, then why would somebody want to buy the US-backed treasury bills?
So as people start to divest from those, I'm talking central banks for smaller countries, That money is all going to come back here, and we're printing it out of thin air.
It has no value.
Can you tell us what we can do?
I mean, what are the steps that we can combat it?
I see that President Trump said something about 100% tariff, but there's got to be other things that have to be done as well.
Well, I think really it starts here at home.
So what we really need to do is people out there need to learn more about precious metals and find out what they can do for your portfolio.
For example, during the Biden administration, they claimed that Inflation was 20% for those four years.
We know that over the past four years, things cost a lot more than 20%.
But if we just go with that number, that means the hardworking folks of America, the dollars that they work all day long to earn, those dollars are only buying 80% of what they used to buy when Trump was president before Biden.
So in order to combat that, if you invest in gold, which in those same four years is up $1,000 an ounce, Today it's sitting at $2,700 an ounce since Trump was in office?
It has.
And the reason is we've been worried.
We had the wrong president in there.
And if you had gold, okay, you see your buying power on the dollar go down, but your assets grow in value on gold because it's up $1,000.
That means it was $1,700 when Biden became president.
It's up $1,000 since then.
And that's not a good thing.
This isn't This isn't a credit to Biden at all.
This is the American people running scared because they know that inflation is eating away the hard work that we've done.
And the way that you combat it is by having physical gold and silver in your portfolio.
And when the dollar loses value, gold and silver gain value.
And that's how you hedge.
So what you're proposing is a balanced portfolio.
Absolutely.
The stocks aren't going to run the way that they have been forever.
And cryptocurrency is volatile.
We've got retirees out there.
And retirees can't handle 15% and 20% swings in a single day.
And that's what we saw with many of the cryptocurrencies yesterday.
Like XRP or Shiba or Dogecoin.
Retirees shouldn't be in any investments where they could see a 15% swing in a single day on a regular basis.
And that's what cryptocurrency is.
It's not a safe store of value.
It's a good play to make money, but you have to know what you're doing and you have to be good with a computer and really know how to transfer in and out of these different coins.
Well, you know, it's my personal view now.
It's my personal view that cryptocurrency is for the professional, the highly professional.
And I'm not, so it's not for me.
I always have followed the rule.
I have to understand completely what I'm investing in.
And until I understand it completely, I won't.
And I think that probably talks about most of the average American people.
Gold is a different story.
I mean, gold has been around forever, even longer than money.
And there's a great debate about whether we should have ever decoupled the two.
I'm not sure I know the answer to that, but I do know it's a great debate.
I'm with you 100%.
And when you look at a stock and you look at Apple and you look at their balance sheet and you see that they're holding more cash than any corporation out there, and if you're thinking about investing in a stock, you've done your homework.
It's a go.
Now, if you look at a cryptocurrency like Bitcoin, who made it?
Nobody knows.
It's a guy by the name of Satoshi Nakamura, something like that.
It might have been the CIA who made it under a pseudonym.
Who knows?
But that might have been...
It may have been put in place for us to be able to get used to the idea that cryptocurrency is here and it's not going anywhere in order to usher in a digital dollar.
That's where I think we're headed.
I think we're going to have a- Well, the digital dollar is very dangerous.
I think whether for Bitcoin gold or cash or credit cards, the digital dollar gives the government way too much easy control.
And particularly since we're going in the direction of dictatorial governments, very dangerous.
Now, tell us how you can help people if they're interested, because they should be interested in finding out more.
Yeah, look, this country has been based on freedom, and it just seems like every year that goes by, we're losing these freedoms.
And what the mayor just said, that If we go to a digital dollar, then that means that you can be controlled, you can be shut off with your spending.
We can help people understand how owning gold and silver is a workaround for that.
If you're driving a gas guzzler past the year 2030 in California, you don't want to go to get gas and find out you've been shut off because you're still driving one and not an electric car.
So I could talk all day long for this stuff.
But if people want to know more about how gold and silver can help them, they need to reach out to us at our website, bh-pm.com.
The name of the company is Beverly Hills Precious Metals.
You can Google my name there.
I work with General Flynn, and he's our company spokesperson.
He's a good personal friend of mine.
Yeah, that's how you and I actually sort of met through Clay Clark and also Kash Patel.
I've worked with Kash Patel.
He's somebody that I've been on shows with before.
And we've been able to spread the word and actually help people.
But once you get on our website, there's a form that says, schedule a consultation.
And if you fill that out, okay, name, email address, phone number, and how did you hear about us?
Say the mayor sent me.
And in the notes section, say I'd like to learn how to protect my retirement account by converting it into a precious metals IRA. That's something we can talk about maybe on another interview, but that's one way we've helped people.
Well, I hope we can have you back next week at the same time so people get used to it.
Absolutely.
Because I think these are things they need to know about.
And also, you're focusing on people with retirement accounts.
But I mean, young people, too, should learn about this, right?
They should.
From the very beginning, it would seem to me, if I was starting all over again, I would kind of have a balanced approach to it.
Absolutely.
It's true.
When I was a kid, I collected silver coins.
You might have done the same thing when you were a kid, but the kids now, they just want to find out what apps they can get on their cell phone, what kind of games they can have, and whether or not TikTok's going to be available after January 19th.
That's what they're worried about.
Really, I'm starting to see more young people come into this.
I bet you are.
Yeah.
One to two percent of Americans understand what gold and silver can do for them.
And unfortunately, the majority of them are people that are the sons and daughters of people that lived through the Great Depression.
And that was passed on generationally.
But there's been a couple of gaps in generations since then.
And I'd like to help bring that back.
Well, I think there's a real opportunity also with young people.
When you look at the fact that people between 31 and 18 voted for Trump, they're worried about something.
So I'm sure this is one of those things.
But good luck, Andrew.
That was one of the best explanations I've ever heard.
And thank you.
We'll talk to you next week.
Thank you.
Talk with you soon.
God bless you.
I would follow his advice and get the consultation.
I mean, this is something I need to know more about.
You need to know more about it.
And things are changing rapidly, and I am sure, like me, many of you don't completely understand what's happening.
And I'd love to understand completely what's happening.
And I'd love to have my audience do that, because we've got a very smart audience.
That's bh-pm.com.
So you schedule a consultation, and you say the mayor sent you, and they'll give you wonderful treatment.
And then it's up to you.
You decide.
Nobody can tell you what to do with your money.
That's what America's about.
But people can give you good advice about it, because we're not all experts on every aspect of everything I share as hell.
So thank you, Andrew.
And we'll take a short break.
And I would take advantage of going to bh-pm.com and tell them the mayor sent you.
We'll be right back.

These deals are...
Here we are, pretty much at the beginning of the process here at this pristine...
I call it a laboratory.
It's not like a factory.
It's like a hospital.
This is the beginning of the process for roasting.
Deep grain, very good quality.
Most people don't use this quality.
We deal with small farmers because we like to know who we're dealing with.
They give us the highest quality, all organic, non-GMO. You should know all Arabica beans.
No robusto.
All Arabica.
They're gonna go into the roaster and it'll get roasted for about 20 minutes or so.
Oh my goodness, look at these.
My goodness!
They're gonna want to specially order these!
*music* This is what goes into Rudy's coffee.
If you watched us last night on America's Mayor Live, you saw Darren, our partner, who really did a very good description of Arabica and the other kinds of beans.
And I want to show you something from, I think it's the front page of today's Yeah, I think it's today's Wall Street Journal.
It says, coffee prices set record.
Coffee future prices hit new highs Tuesday, pushing past a record set in April 1977. And it's for Arabica coffee.
Now, that's very, very important because Arabica is the much better coffee bean.
And it looks like here's 24.
I guess going into 25, it's hard to tell.
They don't have a really good map here.
But it looks like it's gone up from about Way back at the beginning of 24, about $1.75 a pound to now about, and this is guessing because this chart is a little off, something about, it could be as much as $2.50 a pound now.
But I'd buy some now because according to this, it is very rapidly going to go up to $3.50 a pound.
We're about 3.25 a pound.
That's a 75 cent increase within the next two to three months.
The reason for the lack of Arabica coffee is very, very debated.
There have been allegations of floods, but in places where there were no floods.
So is this a Some kind of deliberate thing.
I don't know if you can see this well.
But that's the chart.
That's where it is now.
And that's the next two months or so or three.
That's where it's going.
And that's where it used to be just in late 23. So you can see it's very, very volatile.
Back in 2022, it was at that level also.
So right now, we're in the outer range of where it's been in the last four or five years.
But it's headed for a massive increase.
If they're right.
And the futures are headed in advance.
That's not being right or wrong.
That's being the gamble they take when they invest in the futures.
They see the futures as it's going to be rare.
Supply and demand is going to mean Arabica is going to cost a lot more.
And a lot of coffee like Rudy's coffee is made only with Arabica.
We don't touch any other kind of coffee because It's very, very inferior.
It creates a lot of the nervousness that you get.
It has too much caffeine and not of a high quality.
So there are these studies about how coffee can help you, but they're talking about high-quality coffee helping, not the stuff you get in the typical diner or in the little packet or even at Starbucks.
Because it's mass produced.
So I would recommend getting and stocking up on your Rudy coffee, morning, bold, those two.
And morning, don't be fooled.
A lot of people would like morning and the afternoon.
It's pretty strong morning coffee.
You can make it less strong by adding a little extra water.
But if you do it as prescribed, You're going to say to me, gee, that seems like the regular coffee.
A lot of people do when they talk to me.
And then I tell them, well, you got to understand, I'm a strong coffee drinker.
And Darren did this with me and Dr. Maria in mind.
And we are going to, very shortly before Christmas, We're going to do a little show, and then we'll maybe even put it on tape and make it available as a sort of podcast on how to take the coffee beans and very easily convert it into coffee.
This stopped me for 20 years, and when I started doing it, not only is it easy, it's fun.
I find it fun, at least.
And I find it fun experimenting.
I see that Erdogan is messing around in Syria.
Now, I have to say that I find that extremely upsetting.
And I really do think we have to do something about it.
The things are complicated enough there.
We have to get him, we have to get him the hell out of there.
It's time to, like, sorry, pal, but you're down.
We don't need you.
So, let's take a look at, let's take a look at the most recent map of Turkey and who's where, okay?
Are we almost ready?
Here's the problem with that part of Syria.
You think of Syria as it being one, it's not.
Syria is an enormously complex country.
Syria has, as Iraq has, and believe it or not, Iran too, many different nationalities Many different forms of the Muslim religion.
The two main ones, Sunni, Shiite, but then subdivisions of that, the Kurds, and even smaller subdivisions, Christians.
They killed a lot of them.
There's not many of them left.
Syria has an American presence, not a large one, but a significant one, and one that's been under attack by the Houthis since October the 7th, with almost no response from the non-president that we've had, not just now, but we've had from the very, very beginning, which cost American lives.
The thing about him that entitles him to absolutely no respect as a former president is how many people he killed and how much he lost and how many bribes he took.
What else would you like?
The way he treats his granddaughter Navy?
Or the way he treated his son and made him a bag man even though he was a drug addict?
I don't know why anybody has any respect for that guy.
So there's the country.
And if we...
I'm going to have to get myself a little thing here.
Hopefully it's going to work.
One of my little markers.
Let's see.
There it is.
Good.
Okay.
So the original effort here By the insurgents, the rebels, whatever.
They were in that yellow region there, okay?
It's not one leaning over into the striped region.
That's where they were.
Also in that area is US troops and Kurds.
And also in that area, let's make a little circle, not perfectly accurate, is a lot of oil.
So, I don't know.
This may be worth more than the rest of that money.
Now, we do have a very, very significant air base right here.
Notice it's on the border of Jordan and Syria.
That was attacked several times by the Houthis.
The first effort that the insurgents, the rebels, the main group being the HTC, and they went in and took, remember now, the first one they took is Aleppo.
That was up here.
And within five days, they were headed down to Hama and Homs.
It took about three days.
This one took about a day.
Now, this is where Assad was.
Well, he took off for, that's Russia.
So now, they are in control.
Now, the person they have recommended to run the country for now is Mohammed al-Bashir.
Now, we're talking about...
Don't get all cheery-eyed here.
We're talking about Sunni terrorists who were allied, if not part of, al-Qaeda.
And who attacked the United States and killed almost 3,000 of our citizens.
On the other hand, we had Syria under Assad, which was a Shiite, being governed as a Shiite country, really almost as a colony of Iran.
So right now, the Iranian hegemony Which used to be over pretty much the entire northern Middle East, sitting above Israel, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, which you see here, right?
You see Israel down here, right?
You see Israel down here.
You see Jordan here.
You see Iraq here.
Okay.
So the Iranian Empire, which extends from here, pretty much controlled all Syria, Jordan, moving in big time to Lebanon, which is right here, and then really trying to assert its control over Lebanon through Hezbollah.
So Iran has colonies?
Possessions?
They call them pawns, but it's more than pawns.
They're part of the Iranian military and political apparatus.
Hezbollah.
I'm going to put them probably in order of their military value.
Maybe at this point the Houthis.
Largely because they've had the least damage.
Then, of course, there was Syria, which was thought of as much more resilient than it turned out to be.
And then we have the one that's been the most damaged, which is Hamas.
So Hamas has taken maybe...
Hamas is taking damage both at its upper level and if it's 50% of what it was in terms of armed forces, it's a lot.
If it's 15% of what it was in terms of leadership, it's a lot.
So Hamas is like really more of a problem than a solution.
Syria turned into a problem, not a solution the minute Assad ran away because the rest of it's in chaos.
There's no one there to take over for Assad or to take over for the Iranian interests.
The groups, including the lead terrorist group, have been forever anti-Shiite, but in particular anti-Ayatollah.
Over the years, the Ayatollah, the present Ayatollah, Has been able to make arrangements with Shiite, with Sunni militias.
In a way, Hamas is a Sunni militia, and they worked closely with them.
But it's not a Sunni militia in the same sense as these groups in Syria, which have been fighting the Sunni cause going back to the war in Afghanistan, both against Russia and America.
So this is going to be This new group, whomever and however it's put together, there can be a real trick for Iran to exercise the kind of control they were.
Let's put it this way.
They may be exercising no control, they may have a hostile group there, or they will be exercising a lot less control than they had before.
On the other hand, can we trust their protestations that they want to have a democratic government, they want women to have rights, Certainly not at face value.
I'm not even sure this is trust but verify.
This may be verify for a while, then trust.
Right now, I would say the odds are they're doing what they've done to us before, which had us, in fact, arming al-Qaeda before they started turning on us.
So we've got to be careful.
The good news is There's no question that these people are hostile to the Islamic Republic of Iran, big time, and have been at war with them on the ground for the last four or five years, killing each other.
And now they have taken over basically this whole big part of Syria, which, if you notice, comes right down to the Golan Heights, which is under Israeli control.
Are they going to have the same position with regard to Israel that the Assad government had?
Now, that's another question.
There are many in the Israeli government and many Israeli scholars and historians that would have said a week ago, the devil we know is better than the devil we don't know.
In other words, you know, the Assad family has been around for 50 years and never taken Israel.
They attempted once And lost territory, got beaten very badly by the Israelis and have never tried again.
Were they trying to put themselves into a group much stronger than them that could overtake and destroy Israel?
Well, by joining up with Iran, it seemed that way, right?
So now, this new government has a bunch of choices to make, right?
And I don't think...
Until they make them and we watch them play out, this is not a question of the Biden people or the Trump people or the whatever.
Put aside all of your prejudices and just watch it and be careful.
And I think the idea of Trump saying, what involved this?
If what he means by that is Careful watching.
And then strategic moves.
Brilliant.
Brilliant.
Because right now, by jumping in too fast, as we've done so many times in the past, not just Democrats, but Republican administrations, this is a State Department sickness because they all want to be right, so they jump in with what they think is right, and they want to be the heroes, and then it turns out We don't have the resources to occupy Iraq, and we make fools out of ourselves.
I'm worse than that.
It's much better to just sit back.
I mean, right now, right now, we've got a thousand troops in Syria.
Most of them right in here.
They can easily go across the border into Jordan where they're extremely safe.
The Jordanians shoot down Iranian planes.
That's the way it should be.
Let's see.
I am not going to give you a prediction on whether or not how real the new rebels are, because I don't know.
I could make an argument for either, and I am sure even if I were privy To the American intelligence, and this is a heck of a thing to say, but I know enough about American intelligence to tell you this.
Wouldn't help very much.
Because they don't know.
Or they've been wrong so damn often, I don't know that I'd want to rely on it.
I mean, when's the last time they were right on any of this?
Israel turns out to be right.
The only thing I can be sure of is when Biden takes credit for it, it is an absolute joke.
If it were up to Biden, none of this would have happened.
You go back to October 7, and right away, Biden says, Israel has to defend itself.
And the minute Israel starts to amass the 100,000 troops to defend itself, Biden begins with a ceasefire, ceasefire, ceasefire.
Ceasefire, ceasefire.
Nobody told him nobody fired yet.
We were cease firing before anybody fired.
Had no one fired...
In Gaza, this never would have happened.
If Israel did not extend the war and kick Hezbollah out of the neutralized zone, which the UN was supposed to do for, I don't know, 18 years or something, 12 years, 11 years, this never would have happened.
If Hamas weren't deconstructed and Hezbollah seriously jeopardized, the rebels would not have had the room or the opportunity or the will to go after Syria because Syria was propped up by Hezbollah and by Iran.
So Hezbollah now made the mistake of supporting Hamas and attacking Israel.
Over a period of time, Israel decided to do really serious damage to them.
The terrorist groups, Sunni terrorist groups in Syria say, thank you, Israel.
You just did our job for us that we've been trying to do for 15 years.
And you cut a big hole into Hezbollah, which means you cut a big hole into the paper, the really paper tiger, Assad.
And when they started their original attack up here on Aleppo, a lot of people thought that was where it was going to end.
Now, if you listen to me, I knew they were going to go for the...
Unlike Biden, they can see opportunities.
This opportunity might not have come along later.
Basically, they had Hezbollah Running away, either being killed, if they remained around by the Israelis, or running away.
They're not going to come back and fight for Syria.
The Syrian army has been a joke since Israel dispatched it in about two days.
Assad is a fool, a complete fool who, I don't know, I think if somebody had, I mean, Trump might have been able to get rid of him just by calling him up and telling him to go.
In a harsh voice, it might make him cry and he'd go.
But it probably took a little more than that.
But he was gone before they even got into Damascus.
Off to Russia with the wife, who they say is worse than he is.
Never know if that's true or not.
And now this is open for reinvention.
And the goal here...
I don't have the strategy yet.
But there is one.
The goal here is another Abraham Accord.
Now that would be...
Next one would be with Saudi Arabia.
And then after that, Syria.
If you can bring Syria into the...
Let's call it Southern Middle East alliance.
The anti-Iranian...
The anti-terrorist...
Middle East alliance, which would stretch across from Saudi Arabia, the richest country in the region, to Israel, the most military, powerful country in the region, to Jordan, a good, stable, solid country, to the Emirates, small but very strong, stable countries.
Country we miss a lot that I happen to know well and have a lot of affection for Bahrain.
If we get Qatar on the right track here, we don't need a two sides against the middle situation.
Screwing us up here.
They're the only one of that group that falls under that category.
We add to that Assyria.
And we push Erdogan the hell out and back into Turkey where he belongs.
And stop him from killing people.
And how about we get the genocide thing out of his blood too?
Which is what's happening with Azerbaijan and Armenia.
Azerbaijanis are Muslims, Armenians are Christians and every once in a while you get a big slaughter over there and everyone believes it's orchestrated by Turkey.
I mean, that guy has got to get himself into like the 18th century or something, maybe 19th.
I mean, what a terrible thing Erdogan did to Turkey when Ataturk had made Turkey into probably the most modern Muslim country in the world.
Could have been the prototype and the model for how you want the Muslim countries to emerge from a very, very ancient Religion that has big overtones of brutality and right off that brutality to ancient and create a modern form of the Muslim religion, which could be quite beautiful and also a secular possibilities for Muslim countries.
It was all there right for the taking until Erdogan came along and took him back step by step, took him back to Oh gosh, we're beyond the Middle Ages now.
Just look at the women.
So we've got to be very, very careful that he doesn't make inroads.
You see where they are?
They're up here, right?
They're right up here.
The Kurds are right in here.
And the oil is right in there.
Or as they say in Brooklyn, the Earl is right in there.
All the Earl, right there.
Better watch out.
See how I clean it up?
Look at that.
Ta-da!
Now we get rid of them all and we can come back in a few minutes and we'll wrap up with a couple of really good stories, okay?
Things you gotta know for tomorrow.

It's probably on everything you're on right now, right, Ted?
Now, you're going to correct me now, but we're going to go over it during the break, and then we're going to get it all straightened out when we come back, because by January 1st, I have a reorganization in mind, but that's if the bosses agree, Ted and Maria and Steve, okay?

So let me make sure, now that you're on America's Mayor Live, let me make sure you got all the news you need to know to go into tomorrow.
Fighting for American democracy and the restoration of it, which, you know, we do have our leader, Donald Trump, and we do have an extraordinary number of warriors that he's picked that are good, but none of them have been confirmed yet.
Well, they couldn't be because the Senate is not up to it yet, but they're looking good.
They're making bad noises about our friend Pete.
Which we're not going to let them get away with.
You saw Steve Bannon on the show on Friday, and you see that Steve is, it's all Pete all the time.
We're not giving an inch on Pete Hakeset.
And then the same thing is true with Robert Kennedy Jr. and with Tulsi.
And here's the way it goes.
The more those communists go after them, the better they are.
The ones we gotta worry about are the ones that they're not opposed enough to.
Maybe they know something we don't know.
I'm not completely kidding when I say that, Stephen.
I'm not completely kidding.
I mean, sometimes your enemies know your friends and enemies better than you do.
And now they're in a desperate situation that they could easily give it away.
So, the more they got upset about Pete, I mean, the stronger I got for them.
Now, you know, when they put out the DeSantis information, I was kind of happy with that, too, because it said to me, they're going nowhere here.
And a lot of people think that maybe was done to hurt people.
And I'm telling you this here not as an insider.
When I do tell you something as an insider, I'll tell you.
That means I have inside information that I am allowed to disclose.
I'm going to tell you this as an expert.
Just my brain.
And I'm not even sure this was the purpose, but it worked out that way.
Naming DeSantis helped people.
Because if you think about it, all the things they're worried about, kicking the hell out of woke, making sure that women are used appropriately in the military, that doesn't mean they shouldn't be in combat.
It doesn't mean that they shouldn't be in every position a man is in, except In hand-to-hand combat and areas where the difference between a man and a woman is the difference between life and death.
Now, Pete's book is very, very clear on that.
If you have the energy to read it, most people don't have the energy to read it.
It's not that long.
Complex, but not that complex.
Read it, and you see that there's going to be one heck of a sect F, and he's going to change it the way you've been annoyed and upset about now for years, including taking a look at purchasing so that, yes, we become the strongest military in the world, or continue to be, or we're not with the Navy right now, But we don't have to do it with the ridiculous amounts of money we pay because we're paying money and commissions.
What do I mean by that?
I mean, we're paying for real for what we're buying, and then we're paying for more because there are a lot of crooks in the military-industrial complex.
Crooks!
Monumental crooks!
And that's why it costs more in the US. I'm more than familiar with it because I remember the reason for the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act was largely due to Just how corrupt the American military-industrial complex was, where they would pay bribes where they had to, where they didn't have to, to our enemies, to our friends, so they got their peace.
And when you think, when demented McConnell says in defense of the ridiculous amount of money that we've given to Ukraine, which has not been to help the Ukrainian people, It's been to help the most or second most corrupt country in the world.
Where there's been no indication that it's changed.
With a president who was associated with one of the most corrupt people in Ukraine all his life, or for the long part of his life, that made him a millionaire.
And from a president who suspended elections.
That's very democratic, huh?
Who the hell suspends elections?
We poured $200 million in there.
We just tossed the Ayatollah another $4 or $6 billion.
We gave Israel $14 billion.
What's Iran going to use that $4 to $6 billion for?
Kill Jews.
Kill Americans.
Help Hezbollah.
Hang on.
He tried to become nuclear faster.
Boy, does he have to go.
I mean, he's not really the president.
He's just a problem.
So let's sum up.
Yeah, Ted.
We didn't talk about the Pete Hegseth news and West Point.
Did you hear?
Go ahead.
A reporter asked West Point, and I want to get the information I don't have in front of you.
A reporter had asked West Point, If it's true that Pete Hegseth had been admitted but didn't end up going to West Point, something along those lines.
West Point, their initial response was that he never applied.
That was a lie.
He did.
And the reporter then went back to Pete and said, hey, they're saying you didn't apply.
Pete showed them the proof.
They went back, the reporter went back to the West Point.
West Point said, oh, our bad.
Sorry, we got that wrong.
I get it.
Pete had applied but didn't get into West Point.
He was admitted.
He was?
That's my understanding.
He graduated from West Point?
He didn't go.
But he was admitted.
Let me bring this up to get this right.
Because this is a big knock on West Point.
But let's get it right.
Let's get the story right.
This is breaking today.
And we want to get this right.
I know it's a story you'd want to cover.
So PXS lawyer slammed West Point for sharing false information about the defense pick's admission in possible privacy violation.
Attorney Tim Parlator fired off a pair of letters.
One of the best lawyers in America.
To the U.S. Military Academy superintendent expressing concern that a public affairs officer shared false information with a journalist that could have blocked President Trump's defense pick from nomination.
Not only did Mr. Hegseth apply, but he was accepted as a prospective member of the class of 2003, Parlatore said in a letter to West Point superintendent Stephen Gilland.
The use of false statements to influence or damage a political nominee's reputation is particularly concerning as it may interfere with the democratic process and fair consideration of a candidate for a public office.
The letter claims that West Point's civilian press rep, Teresa Brinkerhoff, also showed egregiously bad judgment to share such information about the nominee to be Secretary of Defense with a known liberal outlet like ProPublica, claiming that the reporter at the outlet was preparing a derogatory hit piece.
A West Point person later clarified to the New York Post, a review of our records indicate P. Hegseth was offered admission in 1999 but did not attend.
An incorrect statement involving Hegseth's admission to the Military Academy was released by an employee on December 10th.
That's yesterday.
Upon further review of an archived database, employees realized this statement was in error.
The rep said, The Academy takes this situation seriously and apologizes for the administrative error they're calling it.
They lie!
Well, did they lie or did they...
Let's just take one step back.
And I have to admit a certain affection for the American Military Academy at West Point since they were in my district and I taught some classes there.
And you would have spoke at his graduation?
99, I would not have.
03?
No, I spoke at the...
02?
02 graduation, yeah.
Okay, so right, with John James, a mutual contact.
So, he applied to the Academy.
Yes.
And selected Harvard instead.
He went to Harvard.
Yes, that would be my understanding.
A reasonable thing to do, right?
I mean, the Academy is a great school.
Harvard at that time was a great school.
Yeah.
And I don't know if I had a choice between the two.
By 99, I would have picked the Military Academy.
But if it were like in the 80s or 70s, I might have picked Harvard over the Military Academy.
It's certainly a reason.
He didn't pick Lower Podunk University over the Military Academy.
Yeah.
But originally, they said that he, Pete Heggsett, lied he never applied to the Academy or that he was never admitted to the Academy.
Which is it?
Yeah, I know.
I want to get this right.
And maybe it's something we will put together and we'll get your full response tomorrow.
West Point falsely claimed that the defense secretary-designate was never accepted into the nation's top military academy.
They're saying he wasn't accepted.
Okay, so it was never a question that he applied.
It was a question of whether he was accepted.
And he was accepted.
And they said at first that he wasn't.
Not only did he apply, but he was accepted.
So, something to follow, and we'll see.
I'm sure there'll be more on this, Mayor.
Are they...
So where's the privacy violation?
Are they not allowed to say...
Well, there's a question on that.
What...
I mean, should anyone be allowed to, and I guess we'll find out the law on this, but it makes sense.
Can a reporter just go find out your military records?
Maybe they are public.
Maybe military records are approved.
It doesn't seem right.
But then again, it's military.
Maybe it's public.
But the letter, this is the lawyer, Parlator, is saying this may violate federal privacy laws.
And by the way, either way, it's a good posture for Team Hegseth to take, right?
I mean, it almost puts them on the offensive, right?
It gives them something to say, look at us, we'll be back.
He also wears a similar jacket that you wear.
We'll have the show with the red-white blue on the outside.
Yeah.
Well, we'll follow this, Mayor.
Maybe we'll do some more reading.
Well, you have a lot of apologies here.
Yeah.
So you know something's up.
The Daily Wire says they should fire everybody in charge.
Of course they should.
This is the United States military.
Blaze says West Point under intense scrutiny for making error.
They should.
This is West Point, Mayor.
I know.
Peace lawyer, Senator Cotton, slam West Point.
Cotton, I think, says it's on purpose.
I mean, look.
I mean, it could be a screw-up, but you don't get to have mistakes like that.
That was not a Muslim chant.
That's you being skeptical of the idea that this was a screw-up.
It always ends up our way.
So everyone is on the edge of their seats.
What does the mayor think of this?
Because yes, within a week or so, whatever you say tonight will likely be the outcome.
ProPublica, I must say.
What was that?
ProPublica was about to publish it.
And they didn't.
And they're explaining why.
However...
I tell you what did it was Pete sent them a letter of admission.
They were so close to doing it.
I mean, a letter of admission was pretty much...
Thank God he had it.
He sent them a letter of admission.
Short of that letter, they would publish it.
Not everybody...
I mean, I guess you would keep a West Point admission letter, but not everybody keeps all their admission letters, right?
To schools they don't go to.
Maybe it gets misplaced.
What if Pete did not have that?
I'm sure he could have got it from the school, right?
But it could have taken longer.
He nipped this in the bud before it even got out.
This is a damning story.
And for West Point, I agree with you.
God bless our armed services, of course.
However, how can you do this?
You don't get to make the same mistakes at West Point that you get to make in your high school student council.
I'll tell you one good thing.
He'll be a better Secretary of Defense than Leon Panetta.
Who deliberately lied about my and President Trump being involved in Russian collusion and said that the hard drive that I found had earmarks of Russian collusion.
You know what it had?
It had earmarks of the Biden crime family all over it.
That's what it had.
It had earmarks of the worst political scandal in American history.
It had earmarks of a political party that has fallen apart so badly they could get 51 so-called intelligence people to lie on a dime without any attempt to do any checking, which is apparently what West Point was doing here.
They're trying to get out a story that he wasn't accepted to try to hurt him.
And it's because of what I told you.
That West Point or enough people at West Point are part of that American industrial complex also.
And we have an awful lot of wonderful and very brave people in the military and in the American military industrial complex.
We also, as we do all throughout America, whether we're talking about the journalism, I don't call them profession, whether we're talking about journalism or the legal profession or the medical profession or politics, we got a lot of crooked people too.
And we've got to straighten it out.
And I'm going to give you a thought as we leave about why we have a lot of crooked people.
Because we threw God out.
We threw God out of America.
The Democrats did, at least.
We threw him out of the classroom.
We threw him out of our meetings.
We threw him out of our thoughts.
Along comes the phony COVID and people can't go to church.
They can go to strip parlors but not churches.
God doesn't matter.
God's an option.
People are given exceptions for critical services.
The worship of God is not a critical service in America.
Asking God for help in his house is not a critical service.
It's not worth making his house, going about what you have to do to make his house safe enough so it can be visited.
It should have been a first priority.
It was after September 11, wasn't it?
It was the COVID, whether it was deliberately done by the Chinese or not, was done by the Chinese.
And it was deliberately done, at least in the sense that they sent out all the infected Chinese to make sure they could even up the score.
But it was certainly taken advantage of to try to jumpstart or to move ahead by 10 to 15 years.
The Marxist, Soros, One World, Basic schedule for destroying America as we know it.
Now, if you think I'm making it up, just read Soros' view of American nationalism and just take a look at what's been going on in America over the last 10 years.
It's a cultural revolution, not unlike the one Mao brought about in China.
What do you think the tearing down of the statues is all about?
I mean, New York is hilarious.
We take Thomas Jefferson out of the City Hall that I used to be in charge of.
They would have to have gotten that past me when they were there.
I'd have moved it to my office if the City Council didn't want it.
I used to walk over to the city council when those jackasses weren't around and just look at Thomas Jefferson for inspiration.
We get rid of Thomas Jefferson.
them.
And we keep the Boss Tweed Courthouse.
The biggest crook in American politics.
The inventor of democratic corruption.
The reason why the New York Supreme Court today, particularly in Manhattan, is a corrupt group of judges.
But all kind of invented by Boss Tweed.
And the crooked Corrupt dictatorial Democrat Party of New York.
Pokal, Pokal, all those nitwits on the City Council would never get through two pages of Dumas Malone's biography of Thomas Jefferson and would have no idea the complexity of what Jefferson did and the poison pill he built into our structure of government and our government documents so that slavery inevitably Had to be overthrown.
Well, times are getting interesting.
They're going to get much more interesting when the proverbial you-know-what hits the fan.
When Trump gets in and he starts really changing.
The prospect of changing these things is driving these people to nuttiness.
What's going to happen when they really start changing?
What's going to happen when the traitors get thrown out of the State Department?
Like the ones who work for Iran.
And the ones who have come in over the last four years from China for the purpose of spying on us.
You don't think the Chinese took advantage of the open door and brought in spies?
You think they're stupid?
What?
Pray for the people of Israel.
Pray for the people of Ukraine who are still undergoing a needless death in a war that's winding down.
It's terrible when you get killed when a war is winding down.
Boy, Biden doesn't care, does he?
Never cared about the Americans he killed.
Nitwood is still there.
I was gonna play him acting like a clown again, but what's the use?
It's just disgusting.
You know, we still have, what, 40-something days left before we have an actual president with a functioning brain?
Please don't have a lot to happen again.
Pray to God for Thanksgiving, that he help deliver us, and promise him that we have the strength to carry it through.
We'll see you tomorrow at 7 on Frank Speech Network and X at 7. And then we'll see you on X and all of the others, YouTube and Rumble and Facebook and Getter and AUX and...
Q-U-X. Q-U-X. And what am I missing, Ted?
You said Facebook, X, YouTube, Rumble, Q-U-X, Twitter.
We don't do Twitter anymore, it's...
Well, we got some more planned for the new year, but we'll talk about...
Yeah.
We have a lot planned.
We got to talk about it.
We're not going to do the Chinese fight.
Well, not yet.
Oh, come on.
Here's my...
Come on.
I want to hear the chat.
Chime in so I can show the mayor my only...
And this isn't me taking a position.
It's something to keep in mind.
We want to get to those people that are on.
Unfortunately, a lot of people are on there.
Yeah, but we don't want to get to us.
They don't get to us if we use an independent device and somehow separate it from everything else.
I have some ideas.
We'll talk about it.
I would have no problem talking to them.
I have no problem talking to the Chinese communists.
Maybe we could change their minds.
That's what I'm saying.
I don't want them having a chance to find out about us.
Exactly.
I'm not doing anything wrong, but because they'll screw things up.
They'll change things.
They'll lie.
They'll put terrible things on.
They're probably doing it anyway.
I mean, they're probably doing it anyway.
But why give them...
And why give them revenue?
That's another thing I don't like.
Giving them any kind of revenue.
Right.
They should just be cut out.
Well, that's an interesting discussion I should not have brought up at the end here.
Yeah.
We'll talk more tomorrow, Steve.
All right.
Well, that's why you got to come back.
Seven and eight on X for sure.
You're always safe on X. God bless America.
It's our purpose 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.
