Time	Text
	This is Rudy Giuliani, and welcome to America's Mayor Live from Palm Beach.
	If you look now, you will see the sun coming up not too far from here.
	Where we were yesterday morning, I wanted to show it to yesterday morning, but I'm always a day late with my pictures.
	I took that myself.
	That's a sunrise in Miami.
	And if you go just straight out Just keep going, you get to Ireland.
	Probably a little below Ireland.
	I always think about that when I look at the Atlantic.
	I always think when I go out to like Montauk Point in New York, next stop, Shannon!
	Okay.
	Breaking news!
	Play our breaking news song, which we don't have.
	Big surprise.
	Just released New York Times.
	Again, the newspaper of record has let us know that an average of 2.5 million immigrants per year poured into the United States during the non-administration of Joseph Biden.
	That would be 60% at least illegal, and it is larger than all the people who came in during the 60-year existence, or was it 70, of Ellis Island.
	But they now have figured that out to which I give them great credit for being really on top of the story since I think we pointed this out a year and a half ago.
	So now the New York Times should be turned over to Ted and to me and to Steven and Dr. Maria and all of our group including Mike and the people from Frank's speech and we should run it because maybe over the next four years uh rob of course rob we need you babes come on down particularly with you know rob's listening so uh i need you to report on and get some pictures of those uh drones Oh,
	yeah, Rob.
	180 of which, we're going to show the drones a little later.
	Maybe we have them video.
	But 180 of which have been spotted.
	What the hell are they?
	And then you get this drone out in California where the Chinese guy gets arrested for trying to take pictures of an airbase.
	The Chinese goes after one airbase.
	Xi Jinping got every airbase in the United States, escorted by Biden's people.
	And after he got all the pictures, and after Biden called him and said, hey, Z, you got good pictures.
	You like the exposure.
	Well, he wouldn't know what exposure.
	You like the pictures.
	Then he shot down the unmanned drones.
	No damage to China.
	Enormous damage to the country of which Joseph Biden is president of.
	But nobody cared that that was one of the great acts of being a traitor.
	Or was Bagram worse?
	We'll talk about that later.
	So Daniel Penny finally was interviewed by Judge Pirro, and he made some interesting observations Of a political nature.
	Not political, but that will be of relevance to us politically as we move forward and we vote.
	We don't want to put people in office that prosecute people like Daniel Penny.
	And here's why.
	And this is not a Republican-Democrat pitch.
	This is a humanitarian pitch.
	You don't want to put people in office who prosecute Good Samaritans.
	So, for example, you wouldn't have wanted to put someone in office who came forward during Jesus carrying the cross to Calvary, who was the Good Samaritan who wiped his brow and carried his cross for a short period of time.
	You would not have wanted the Roman police...
	Now, they stopped him.
	I don't think they even arrested him, so they're not as bad as Bragg.
	We've always thought of from that day on, that's where the term Good Samaritan comes from.
	And Samaria, the Samarians were considered outcasts in some ways by the official Jewish When you talk about the Jewish people and their responsibility, the whole thing, it really was just a few power-hungry people in the Sanhedrin that drove the issue against Christ.
	Most of the Jewish people I'm going to ask my friend Alan to come on some night.
	He's a much bigger biblical historian than I am.
	But I think this is right.
	And all of you biblical historians, please correct me.
	I think probably if you were to take a poll at the time of Jesus, It was only a very small percentage that acted on the situation involving Jesus.
	In other words, it was a very small percentage of Jewish people, mostly in the Sanhedrin, and mostly the ones that were characterized as the Pharisees and the scribes and the Sadducees, who were officially hypocritical.
	Of which Jewish people to this day, you know, and Christian people, we hate the people who make their religion on their sleeve, you know.
	I'm religious.
	Look at me.
	I love God more than you.
	I mean, even during the Bible, Jesus gave the lesson that those who reserve their charity anonymously get more credit for it in heaven.
	I think what he was saying there, not that you want to reserve it, really, because it does encourage other people to do it.
	So I'm sorry, Jesus, I disagree with you a little on this one.
	But in any event, as a spiritual matter, you're correct.
	I mean, a lot of people are doing it just to get credit, not...
	Because they love people.
	And not to get credit in heaven, which is fine, but to get credit on earth.
	So if you got your credit on earth, you don't get it in heaven.
	So I would say that he is saying, basically, that we are being governed by these same kinds of people.
	This is a very, very intelligent, very wise comment.
	By Mr. Penney, who seems like a very intelligent young man.
	He did from the very beginning, actually.
	Obviously a very heroic young man, a very well brought up young man.
	And another tragedy to our letting ourselves slip toward communism.
	And in New York, big time.
	New York City, sorry, when I say New York City, let me define it because it's degrees of difference.
	In Manhattan, New York City is no different than a communist dictatorship.
	It is run by one party, the Democrat Party.
	They control the judiciary.
	Let me say that again.
	They control the judiciary.
	You are not able to make a free and fair decision as a member of the New York Supreme Court in Manhattan because the party leader will screw you until you die if you do.
	Been that way for most of the last 150 years.
	So if you think I'm wrong, you're wrong, or you're dishonest.
	In the other counties, it's almost as bad.
	Except in Staten Island, it's a two-party county.
	And it's a product of endless one-party rule, like Chicago.
	60 years of a Democratic mayor, and every weekend is Vietnam.
	And nobody does anything about it.
	The schools, I don't know, are they even worth looking at anymore in Chicago?
	Not New York.
	But everybody keeps voting Democrat.
	It's probably one of the main reasons I moved out of New York.
	I didn't see any hope left.
	Not when they elected Adams.
	And Adams is not that bad.
	But he's bad.
	We don't could take New York to any place good.
	So, Mr. Penny said about the people who prosecuted him and allowed the prosecution of him for what would be a non-crime, it's called self-defense, or even more than that, the defense of other people, their egos are just too big to admit that they're wrong.
	And they can't reverse what they've done because that's a political suicide for them, I guess.
	He did point out that he was shocked when he came back to New York after his time in the Marines.
	As to how far the city's subway system had deteriorated.
	Adams, you keep telling us it's improved.
	Now, you want Trump to pardon you, or whatever the hell you want, and you're kissing his backside really bad.
	It looks really bad, what you're doing.
	But in any event, I haven't disagreed with you completely.
	I think a lot of your objectives are correct.
	You don't have the balls to do it.
	But when you listen to this, stop bullshitting us about the subway.
	Nobody thinks the subway system has improved.
	It hasn't improved.
	Every time you say that, somebody gets thrown on the subway tracks.
	I must have had some people thrown on the subway tracks when I was mayor.
	Honestly, I can't remember it.
	I do remember getting articles in national magazines saying the subway system was as safe as it had been in 50 years.
	You ever get one of those?
	Hmm.
	How much has crime gone up since the pandemic with you there?
	20, 30 percent?
	How much did it go down under me?
	Like 60?
	Did you, Adams, endorse me for mayor when I ran for re-election because I brought crime down so much?
	And then did you later call me a racist when you were running for election?
	So would you excuse me if I think you're an effing hypocrite?
	And I don't know what Trump should do about your pardon.
	There's a justification for it, and there's a horrible reason for not doing it, which we'll discuss a little later.
	Penny had two deployments in honor of our country.
	And he says that once the jacket was thrown, he felt he had to act.
	The kid's right.
	This kid did something that he should get a medal for.
	I don't know.
	Adam should have done it right away to interfere with the prosecution.
	I would have.
	And also, I had such a relationship with the prosecutors, I don't think they would have done it if I had a very strong view on it, because it would not have been political interference.
	It would have been intelligence interference, intellect interference.
	And we could talk to each other like honest lawyers.
	And I could talk to Bob Morgenth or Judge Brown or any of the DAs, and I never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever politically would have influenced them, ever, and they wouldn't have let me.
	And I wouldn't have let them do it to me.
	But could I influence them on the merits?
	100%.
	Could they influence me on the merits?
	100%.
	Because we were something that they're not.
	We were honest people who really cared about law enforcement.
	Now, here's the weird thing.
	Daniel Penney, particularly now with the acquittal, he's sort of a hero of our era.
	This crazy, absolute maniac murderer Mangione is the hero.
	We've got to look at that real carefully and figure out why is that happening?
	Why is that guy that killed a CEO of an insurance company for no longer No justifiable reason other than his depravity, his own depravity.
	Why is he being embraced by these people who say, insurance companies deny claims, insurance companies denied my claim, insurance companies, life is unfair, da, da, da, da, da.
	Wow.
	Wow.
	One guy gets up and saves a whole bunch of people on the subway who applaud him and say, thank God he was there, we'd be dead.
	The other guy kills a man in cold blood holding him responsible for a whole group of evils that he can't possibly be singularly responsible for.
	With a two sides to the story situation.
	You want to go demonstrate about the false claims?
	I mean, about the claims that are denied?
	How about you go demonstrate about the false claims?
	About the crooked lawyers?
	About the crooked doctors who exaggerate claims?
	You put out a new program and you put it on television.
	I mean, they have these programs on for, I don't know, what's the Marine base that they have an ad on?
	It's been on for about 10 years.
	I mean, there are people that were in Okinawa who put in claims for that Marine base.
	If you were anywhere near, call Jochenfleisch, Smutschku, and Butzki, and they'll get you money.
	That's as big a part of the story as the other part of the story.
	And these damn communists who want to make anything that looks capitalistic horrible never point out the reality of life.
	I don't know if insurance companies are more crooked or the number of false claims of lawyers and doctors are more crooked.
	I don't know.
	I honestly don't know that.
	I don't know which is a bigger industry.
	I know I'm biased by the fact that I'm in New York where I know which is the bigger industry.
	Ambulance chasing a lawyer can make more money than the guy on Wall Street.
	And he usually got a couple of doctors that'll Break your leg for you.
	Whiplash?
	Whiplash?
	How you doing after the accident?
	I'm fine.
	Your neck hurt?
	Nah.
	Come on, does your neck hurt?
	Why don't you go see my doctor?
	Doctor goes and looks at it.
	Oh, you're not going to be able to move your neck again.
	Well, I can, but no, 20 years from now.
	So just stop moving it now and we'll put in a claim for $2 million.
	Now, you think what I said doesn't happen?
	There are cases in court that prove what I happened.
	So, cut out the hypocrisy.
	Please stop all of these suggestions that you should kill the people who run insurance companies.
	My God, Elizabeth Warren!
	Look, you're a big liar about your own heritage and background.
	So you're a useless kind of person to start with because you lie about the most basic things, Pocahontas.
	But my God, you are an intelligent liar.
	Will you stop creating an atmosphere in which they go kill another one?
	And you've got to be smart enough.
	I mean, well, maybe you're not.
	You're taught at Harvard.
	Maybe we got that all backwards from the beginning.
	Maybe that's a bad mark that you went to Harvard or taught there.
	I don't know.
	To say that, you know, if these insurance companies keep doing this, this is going to continue.
	Well, murder is going to continue?
	You know, Massachusetts, let me just say something to all of you in Massachusetts.
	I love Massachusetts.
	It's a great state, one of our original states.
	We wouldn't be here without Massachusetts.
	Will you grow up?
	And get rid of these absolutely idiotic morons that you send to Washington.
	Where the hell did you find Pocahontas?
	Huh?
	She doesn't have a good idea about anything.
	A University of Pennsylvania professor, just to not let Harvard feel alone, is proud of Mr. Mangione.
	He's a self-described socialist professor, which would be the right description for Warren and the old disorder old man and some of the others.
	Her name is Julia Alexieva.
	Not bad Russian pronunciation.
	Julia Alexieva.
	I did not practice it before.
	She's an assistant professor of English, but catch this one, cinema and media studies.
	At the Ivy League school, or at the once, I don't know, Ivy League just means what they have on the, at the once productive school that has now become a joke.
	She goes by, I don't know, is she trying to tell us something?
	She goes by at the Soviet.
	You want to look her up, it's at the S-O-V-I-E-T-T-E, try to get cute, at the Soviet.
	Good.
	Oh, so you're a communist.
	Good.
	And she has a TikTok video sponsored by Red China saying, do you hear the people sing from Les Miserables playing while she talks about have never been prouder to be a professor at the University of Pennsylvania?
	She's a socialist and she's an ardent anti-fascist.
	Oh, that's really good.
	She's a socialist, but she's not a fascist.
	Six of one and two dozen of the other.
	The icon we all need and deserve.
	And she is celebrating a human life being destroyed, which tells you all you need to know about Soviets, socialists, and fascists.
	Then we have t-shirts made out to this murderer.
	Look at that.
	Can you see that, guys?
	T-shirts made out to this murderer.
	There you go.
	Deny, defend, depose.
	They're trying real hard to get another one killed.
	Aren't they?
	Senator Elizabeth Warren's words were Let me quote her because I don't want to be...
	There should be a warning to everyone in the healthcare system.
	What, that I'm going to get killed?
	If you push people hard enough, they start to take matters into their own hands in ways that will be a threat to everyone.
	What is she, some kind of a gangster?
	I thought she was just a phony, lying Pocahontas with stupid socialist ideas.
	But it sounds like she's worse than that.
	She even, when she does her retake on it, she even encourages murder.
	Violence is never the answer!
	Stop!
	But, people can only be pushed too far.
	Why don't you vote them all out of office, Massachusetts?
	What the hell is wrong with you?
	And I feel perfectly capable of saying that, not feeling like I'm better than you, because I was a citizen in New York for most of my life.
	And look what we do.
	We put 7, 8, 9, 10,000 criminals out on the street to beat the shit and to kill our people.
	I mean, this guy was a...
	Forget crazy, whatever this stuff is.
	He doesn't have any history of mental problems.
	The guy's an evil human being who committed first-degree murder and he should be executed.
	Simple as that, and it'll stop it quickly.
	You don't get to decide America's inequities in a very complex situation like the granting or denial of claims in which there is a certain degree of cheating on both sides by killing people.
	You have no idea if you're right or wrong.
	And you have no idea which side cheats more.
	I don't.
	You tell me you do.
	You don't either.
	We're going to spend a lot of time now trying to figure out this guy's motives.
	I mean, his motives are that he seems to be part of a little sick group, right?
	They want to kill these executives and people in insurance companies.
	That's what it sounds like.
	And execution would be good because it would scare the hell out of them and they wouldn't do it again.
	Well, Israel is, well, everybody is talking about everything that's going on, right?
	What's going on in Syria?
	Who took over?
	Are these terrorists better than the old terrorists?
	Should America be involved?
	Shouldn't America be involved?
	What the hell is Iran going to do now that it's lost all its proxies?
	As America and the world discuss, the useless group in the world discuss, Israel's pounding the shit out of Syria.
	They are taking away as much of their military capacity as possible on the very wise theory that it could go from bad to worse or it could go from bad to bad.
	And the Sunni terrorists may be almost as bad as the Shiite or Assad terrorists as happened in Afghanistan, but we weren't wise enough to figure that out, nor was Russia.
	Nor were we with Afghanistan when we left $85 billion worth of lethal weaponry around.
	Now, Bibi, showing what a leader does who is both loyal to his country, which Biden was not, And at the same time, had common sense.
	He's doing the best that he can to leave Syria with no weapons.
	As nobody is looking, or they are looking, he's bombing all of their large facilities.
	Israel, for example, hit the naval facilities at Al-Baya Port and Takia Port.
	And they took out 15 Syrian naval ships.
	Syria can't have a really big navy.
	15's got to be a pretty good hit.
	Hey, Bibi, take them all out while they're all bullshitting, okay?
	He agrees with me that the guy who owns that dog is a big Zionist, like me.
	He's a Zionist dog.
	He just said yes.
	You hear him?
	You don't think dogs are smart?
	First of all, the standard with Biden, not even worth it.
	I wouldn't even put, you know, whatever the dumb breeds are, I wouldn't even put them up.
	Biden dropped another 20 bill on his co-criminal Zelensky before he's going.
	I wonder if he's going to make a trip to Ukraine this time, like when he left the vice presidency for the last four or five days and give away the fact that he has secret accounts over there.
	Hmm.
	And I wonder if once we get rid of Ray, if cash, the first thing he does is visit the woman who has been telling the FBI for four years that she can give you those accounts and all she wants is witness protection and you don't have to make the deal with her if she's lying.
	You've got an absolute test on it before you have to put up anything.
	Maybe we'll find out that Biden stole even more money.
	Maybe we could take it under the RICO Act.
	Maybe they don't have to live out their last part of their life in unbelievable splendor.
	I would not suggest they have to do it the way they're trying to do it to me.
	That wouldn't be that mean.
	But, I mean, some of those ill-gotten gains should be returned, huh?
	You know what he was trying to do, the sneaky little crook, Biden?
	Ted, he was trying to get another appointment to the NLRB that Trump would be stuck with for four years.
	Sneaky, sneaky.
	So that we could give the country away to unions without any recognition.
	In fact, the American people don't want unions anymore.
	Now, I put aside government unions, but I have a real problem legally and logically and philosophically with government unions but private unions I mean they're down to like seven percent eight percent nobody wants to give give them the dues because they don't do anything because they're a bunch of crooks and but biden wanted to keep national labor relations board chair lauren mcferen whose
	term expires next week they wanted to keep her on for another 2 000 years So, Manchin and Sinema voted against it.
	And they couldn't get a majority.
	So, stuff it.
	Stuff it.
	Stuff it, you crook.
	And who knows what kind of deal Biden makes for stuff like that.
	What do you think he does?
	I don't know.
	I don't want to accuse that poor person of being involved in it.
	But anything Biden is near, you've got to figure corruption.
	It's been that way since he was a little S-bag senator from from uh Delaware when he was you know 29 years old and uh grabbing the crumbs off the floor I mean he's really what one would call a lowlife yeah a true embarrassment to the presidency so shall we take a short break and we'll be right back Here
	we are, pretty much at the beginning of the process here at this pristine, I call it a laboratory, not like a factory, it's like a hospital.
	This is the beginning of the process for roasting.

	Rudy.coffee.
	Well, we're back, and first thing I wanted to do is just tell you and warn you, because you won't hear this anywhere else, inflation is back up again, because Biden's going to leave Trump with an economy that's inflated.
	Now, it's inflated over a four-year period, you know, quite a bit.
	There are estimates, oh my goodness, of I guess the minimum is your dollar is worth 20% less, maximum 30, 35% less.
	Without any question, you spend a lot more for everything, for everything.
	And it's back, you know, pushing 3% now.
	So Trump has got a job ahead of him.
	They artificially reduced it for a bit during the election, but Elections over, truth prevails.
	Like the New York Times today finally telling us we've had a record group of illegals coming in.
	Pretty soon they may admit that there were a lot more criminals among them than in the prior group of immigrants.
	They keep saying the illegal immigrants don't commit as many crimes as Americans.
	That's all based on studies 10, 20 years ago when that was probably true.
	This is a very, very different group of immigrants.
	This is a group of immigrants that comes in with a border that's completely unvetted, with a border in which we advertise, come over, don't worry, with advertisements all over the world as to the criminals who were successful in coming over, which just encourages other criminals to come over, with the unbelievable success of Trendy Aragua, Establishing himself as a major organized crime group within two and a half years.
	Should be really, I mean, I think once they get out of office, the Biden crime family will probably try to make an alliance with them.
	So now we're starting to see, we're starting to see even the liars admit the truth.
	The University of Texas, which shocks the hell out of me, And the United Nations has begun a course in how to teach influences how to handle misinformation.
	Nearly 10,000 people from 170 plus countries have enrolled so far.
	That makes me extremely concerned.
	First of all, misinformation is really your excuse For censoring other people.
	Misinformation is what you decide is the truth.
	And then anybody else saying it is canceled.
	So, well, I mean, obviously, you know, the world was flat with misinformation.
	That's the famous one from a long time ago.
	And people went to jail and were hung and beheaded and killed for that.
	But how about the vaccine works?
	No, no, it doesn't.
	People are getting COVID. The vaccine works!
	You're fired!
	That's Joe Biden.
	That's YouTube.
	We're on YouTube.
	Yeah, get on there.
	You see, now you listen to YouTube.
	I was thrown off YouTube twice for telling the truth.
	YouTube never restored me to where I was before, and they still screw me.
	Thank you, YouTube, for being part of the censorship apparatus in America in complete derogation of the First Amendment.
	You know you are.
	Maybe you'll take me off again.
	But go F yourself.
	Because I'm in favor of free speech and I'm against you.
	And you threw a lot of people off for things where it now turns out you were lying and they were telling the truth.
	What are you going to do to compensate them?
	Anything?
	The vaccine was never a vaccine.
	Big lie.
	Vaccines cure.
	The first thing we found out about it was, the first objection to the vaccine was it wasn't properly tested.
	All vaccines go to two or three years of tests because they're inherently dangerous and they can develop side effects of a very serious nature two and three years later.
	So everybody took this one blind.
	Possibly worth it if presented honestly the way Trump was doing.
	Trump said, take it or don't take it.
	It's up to you.
	But here's what it can do, or what I think it can do, or what I'm being told it can do.
	They went much further than that.
	They started in with, you're killing other people if you don't take the vaccine.
	You're a walking murderer.
	You're thrown off the police department.
	You won't be able to teach.
	God Almighty, we won't allow you to reproduce.
	Who knows what else they would do to you?
	The Democrat, Communist, Stalinist shits that did this.
	And the Googles, Pugles, Googles, and what's that network that I'm on right now?
	YouTube.
	You're on a bunch of networks.
	X, before it was X, threw me off too for that.
	Yeah?
	See, I can't remember if they threw me off.
	Am I telling you the truth about the vaccine?
	Am I telling you the truth about the election?
	Or am I telling you the truth about the hard drive?
	It's one of those.
	Those are the group that I'm sued over to by the same group of dishonest people who are empowered by the media censorship and the media domination that we still have.
	We're cracking through it, but we still have it.
	So I don't know what the University of Texas is doing teaching about misinformation.
	Misinformation is in the eye of the beholder.
	That's why I'm ridiculed horribly for it, where I said, you know, something to the effect of truth is in the eye of the beholder.
	That's what happens when you have a less than moral government.
	The government shouldn't be defining.
	We didn't invent government among men and women to decide the truth for us.
	We invented government to protect us.
	That's about it.
	Just about everything else it does, it screws up horribly.
	And does it want to, as it grows, tend toward fascism, Nazism, and communism, and dictatorship?
	Yes.
	The larger it gets, the more chance it's going to do that.
	And that's what the New Deal and the Great Society did for us.
	Moved us right in that direction.
	Arkansas Tech You know, offers a Bachelor of Arts degree in Social Media Influencing.
	Do you have any ethics course involved in there?
	Or religion?
	Or something?
	That's where we derive truth, don't we?
	I kind of was taught, maybe everybody can get angry at me now.
	I was taught that the way you arrive at truth is by prayer.
	Hmm.
	Terribly subversive.
	It's what does the government tell you?
	The government says the vaccine is perfect for your health.
	It will cure COVID 100% if you don't take it.
	Hmm.
	Everyone will get a card and you will be asked for your papers.
	Give me your papers, say Joe Biden and the first stepmother.
	Give me your papers.
	Then it turns out Hmm, a slight little change.
	It doesn't cure the disease.
	People who are taking it get COVID. Do you remember back with polio?
	I do.
	You're too young.
	People weren't getting polio from the Salk vaccine.
	It wasn't like The Salk vaccine is working, but 100 people just got polio.
	The Salk vaccine is working, but 2,000 people just...
	The what vaccine are you calling it?
	The polio vaccine.
	What'd you call it?
	Jonas Salk was the founder of the...
	The Salk vaccine.
	S-A-L-K. Salk.
	Jonas Salk.
	Oh, wow.
	Well, there you go.
	You just learned something.
	So, nobody ever did that, right?
	A vaccine makes you immune to the disease.
	Except, let's start off with the fact, and I'm not going to get terribly scientific about it.
	I'll need Dr. Maria to bail me out, but...
	It didn't do that from the very beginning.
	It didn't purport to do that.
	It purported to work on your nervous system in ways that we're not even sure what the heck they manipulated in your freaking brain.
	So within a short period of time, everything they said about it was misinformation.
	In other words, Biden was spreading the misinformation that it would cure you.
	Okay.
	Next step.
	Well, It's better to take it than not take it because you're less likely to die and you'll have fewer symptoms.
	And it's better than natural immunity.
	And that one, I just, without even checking with Dr. Maria and the doctors, I didn't buy that one.
	This is where I exercise what I call my inherent common sense.
	I said, you know, natural immunity seems awfully powerful to me, and it's been around for a lot longer than vaccines.
	And I think I'll stick with the natural immunity over the make-believe vaccine.
	Oh, for weeks and months.
	And they just rioted me.
	And my son, when he didn't take the vaccine, had to run for governor by being put in a cage.
	I put him in a cage.
	Well, look at that debate.
	He was terrific, by the way.
	But he wouldn't take a vaccine because he didn't believe it was safe.
	And then the people with vaccines got COVID once.
	Then they got it twice.
	And then they took boosters.
	Meanwhile, trillions are coming into the medical-industrial complex, the one that is trying to destroy Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Ching, cha-ching, cha-ching, cha-ching.
	Oh, yeah, one more booster.
	That's two trillion.
	Yeah, let's try the third booster.
	After a while, you're going to go for injections every week.
	Oh, I'll be free of COVID! I'm sorry, I've got my Tuesday appointment for my injection.
	You get a call.
	There's no more room to inject you.
	you're a bunch of holes.
	I don't know that almost half of you vote for them.
	Thank you.
	Again, to my fellow New Yorkers, particularly in Manhattan, you know that only one election district in Manhattan voted for Donald Trump.
	I'm almost embarrassed that you voted for me.
	Bye.
	Oh, you must have changed.
	Your parents had to be a hell of a lot smarter than you were.
	Well, they passed a defense bill 280 to 104, 200 Republicans voting for it.
	Only 81 Democrats voting for it.
	I don't know why only 81 Democrats.
	It's only a 1% increase in defense spending.
	John Thune is really proud of it.
	I'm not really proud of John Thune.
	1% increase in defense spending?
	And China has a larger Navy than we do?
	Stick it.
	Including you Republicans who voted for it.
	I don't know.
	The only thing I can say is you get this miserable administration over with that has destroyed our defense, as almost every Democratic administration has done, unless they want to take us to war, which is also the other thing they do.
	But they always take us to war, not properly armed, and we have to do some kind of really quick checkup.
	In the area of foreign policy, I would ask I'd ask our president to broaden his view.
	I think it is broadened because, you know, he tends to speak in absolutes.
	And he sounds like an isolationist.
	And of course, he and J.D. Vance are being criticized for that.
	I don't believe that he is.
	I think he is very cautious about U.S. involvement because we've made so many mistakes.
	But it is just a simple fact that To protect America, we cannot be uninvolved in the world because the world presents threats to us of massive proportions.
	And now I'm using the thing that I do best, which is Greek logic.
	So let's make believe we don't know much about foreign policy except a few basic facts.
	We're a big country.
	We're a country that people envy.
	We're a country that one major power that is trying to become as big as us wants to destroy and take over from.
	There are others that are allied with them in that pursuit.
	And not the whole world has good motives for us.
	Therefore, do we hide in our American, what used to be bubble, Or do we, in a prudent way, engage with the rest of the world?
	Not become suckers.
	Trump can sure make sure of that.
	But do we become isolationists?
	Like, we're involved in nothing.
	We're going to stay out of, we're going to stay out of, we're going to stay out of.
	Sometimes the mere fact that we're going to get involved in something ends it.
	Handled by a careful, prudent leader, not A Democrat jackass.
	So I'd rather see, rather than isolationism or complete involvement, a cautious, prudent, America first intervention.
	Here's the question.
	Is it in America's interest?
	And how much is it in America's interest?
	And if it's completely in America's interest, and it's a lot in America's interest, then you're damn right we're involved.
	And if it isn't, we're not.
	If it's somewhere in the middle, we're somewhere in the middle.
	That is Rudy Giuliani's wisdom on foreign policy, which I will expound on over the next couple of weeks.
	But you'll find out that that's the thing I know most about.
	Very strange, but it's always been my passion, but a lot of people don't believe it.
	But I can see their mistakes.
	And in this swing to intervention, isolation, like in almost everything else the Greeks taught us, moderation is the key.
	Yes, it really has very little to do with the national interests of the United States.
	It's a very sympathetic situation.
	It's a very heartbreaking situation.
	It's a terrible situation.
	But it really doesn't affect the United States that much.
	And we basically stay out and help as volunteers.
	On the other hand, if it really has to do with the safety of our country, like, for example, Russia, China, whatever, putting missiles in Cuba, You're damn right we're involved.
	And you can get those freaking missiles out of there or there ain't gonna be a Russia or a China.
	Got it?
	I probably learned that from once being a supporter of John Kennedy and then being an absolutely unabashed admirer of Ronald Reagan.
	And I think I would.
	I would study a lot.
	Ronald Reagan's peace through strength.
	You don't get peace through, we're not involved.
	You don't get peace through, we're always involved.
	You do get peace through, we're selectively involved and we'll decide.
	And that scares the shit out of them.
	Because that makes sense.
	And any country that makes sense with the power that we have will dominate the world.
	So, there's something, oh, I'm sorry, Ted, you wanted to ask something about that.
	Should we take a break?
	Well, I was, yes, let's take a break, but I'm just thinking, Mayor, if we, you know, the blessing of our friend, the incoming ambassador to Greece, I'd love if you did some sort of walking history lesson tour on location.
	I have it, I have it.
	We should conduct a Plato dialogue right in the forum.
	I think we might know some folks that could help us make that happen.
	Wow!
	Here in Palm Beach, about a half a mile walking distance from where I'm sitting, is a little reproduction of the Greek Forum, where people go and talk.
	Did you know that?
	Where?
	As you're headed toward Worth Avenue.
	So if you would go, let me see, if you go in that direction, one, two, you have to go that way and that way.
	It's beautiful.
	It's set up the way that they...
	If I can remember, we'll go there tomorrow.
	We'll take a picture of it.
	We'll show you tomorrow night.
	Let's do that.
	Okay?
	I'm going to see if we can get Trump to go there and conduct like a question and answer period.
	Wouldn't that be...
	Yes, absolutely.
	We're going to go find out if the Athenian form is still there.
	I'm not even sure it's still there.
	I hope it is.
	The Athenian form is still there.
	And we'll go...
	We'll take one of the dialogues, like on ethics or on government or on morality or whatever, and we'll try to stick to it as much as possible, but modernize it and get a few participants who can play the different parts.
	That'll be fun.
	Socrates, as I can recall, never wrote anything.
	Everything we know about Socrates, we know about Plato, who essentially was his scribe.
	So he wrote down.
	So Plato wrote the dialogues.
	And the dialogues were the discussions with the Athenian citizens, and sometimes children, youngsters, of various philosophical and moral issues, with Socrates developing it.
	And it is the basic method for teaching in law school, the Socratic method.
	It's a method that's built on, rather than lecturing, asking questions and letting the questions be your knowledge so that you see both sides of an issue.
	Of course, Socrates became so powerful That the Athenians had him commit forced suicide.
	He put hemlock in his ear to kill himself because he was so dangerous.
	Because even in Athens, which we say was the first democracy, ha ha ha, the people in government didn't like democracy, just like Biden didn't.
	At the time?
	Yeah.
	And they killed their most brilliant, well, I don't know if he was their most brilliant philosopher, but their seminal philosopher.
	I mean, No one knows where Socrates ends and Plato begins.
	Wait, really?
	Plato wrote about him.
	He doesn't make the distinction.
	Socrates doesn't have his own original.
	He's described through Plato's dialogues.
	He's the main proponent in the dialogues, giving the wisdom.
	There's no question he taught, because there are other materials talking about Socrates the teacher and about his history.
	But exactly how much Plato puts his own philosophy into Socrates and how much of Socrates is another matter.
	Then we get to Aristotle, who's a completely independent philosopher, who is not completely Platonic or Socratic, develops his own method of philosophy.
	Which, if you want to really start to make it modern, has a great influence on St. Thomas Aquinas in the 10th century and a great influence on the teaching and theology of the Roman Catholic Church.
	And Aristotle is, of course, the student of Plato, who is the student of Socrates.
	100%.
	And Thomas Aquinas was a student of both of those 1,000 years later.
	And probably their most prominent student.
	Whether you think of it theologically.
	That's interesting.
	So you take it out of religion, Thomas Aquinas would be one of the great revivers of Greek philosophy, not just Greek theology.
	That makes sense.
	And as you said, so much of our culture today is shaped and born out of the philosophy of those three.
	If it weren't for Thomas Aquinas, the wisdom of Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle might well have been confined to the Orthodox Church, which is a beautiful and wonderful church, but it's not worldwide.
	But Thomas Aquinas took that wisdom and brought it over to To all of Western civilization.
	And that's why I always say the bedrocks of Western civilization are the Greeks and the Jews.
	And I just want everyone, just to be clear here, the mayor is, you know, this is all coming from his head and his brain.
	I have a computer screen in front of me, so as I'm talking about, so I, you know, I'm making myself sound much more cultured and smarter than I am, but the mayor is, this is coming right out of his head.
	Everything you're saying.
	Yeah, that's why I can't sleep at night.
	Well, sleeping is boring.
	I think you find it very boring, right?
	You have a zeal, a zest for life.
	We don't want to be sleeping.
	Sleeping is boring.
	You're sleeping.
	Since I took the Bioptimizer.
	I'm not kidding you.
	Sometimes I only take two a day.
	I don't get lazy.
	I do this with all medicines of all different kinds.
	It's really stupid.
	Okay, I'm stupid.
	But if I take four a day, I feel much better than if I just take two.
	And if I forget, I don't feel well.
	So I'll forget for a day.
	And then I'll take...
	All I got to do right away to feel better, right quick, is take all four.
	So the last week, I've been very, very disciplined.
	Now here's something that you all might not be that interested in, but it's a great lesson.
	Of what happens when communists and liberals and silly people in New York vote.
	Democrat!
	Let me vote for the Democrat judge.
	Let me not notice that nobody's running against him, which means we're a dictatorship.
	We developed in New York over many, many years ago, with some controversy at the time, a civilian complaint review board.
	The Civilian Complaint Review Board reviews the propriety or impropriety of police action when they make an arrest.
	Your friend here, Rudy, was just a kid when this all started.
	A kid in school, then a kid prosecutor.
	And I always had the same concern about it and learned it really well when I became a prosecutor and dealt with hundreds and hundreds of criminals of all different kinds.
	And at the lower levels in the U.S. Attorney's Office, you deal with the lower levels of criminals.
	Every criminal is, as I explained once to Dr. Maria, who someone came up to me who I put in jail for 35 years, and she was a little frightened and then he told me in fact I have I'm gonna play the tape with him one of these nights he told me how fair I was and uh what a hero I was to certain people because I was so honest and fair and all this other stuff how he became a minister then I left her for a few minutes to go talk to another person and I was a little nervous because
	who knows if this guy's really turned So I go back to her, I pull her away, and we get in the car, and we're driving.
	This is in Los Angeles.
	And she says to me, you know what he said to me?
	He said, he really respects you a lot, but you really shouldn't have believed.
	He mentions a certain witness, a certain witness, because they were really lying about him.
	I said to Dr. Maria, every single person I convicted was innocent.
	Didn't you know that?
	In fact, Tony was innocent.
	Mykovsky's was innocent.
	He didn't kill the 20 million Jews.
	Somebody else came along and did it.
	Everybody is innocent that I prosecute.
	Everybody in jail is innocent.
	In prison is innocent.
	Which is true.
	They also, particularly the street ones who get arrested for drugs largely by either the FBI or the DEA, they're all beaten up by cops.
	And they're not.
	Most of them are.
	The vast majority of them are.
	The ones who are probably resisting arrest and deserve it.
	They all raise it because it creates an obstacle in their case.
	So this CCRB thing always worried me.
	And when I was mayor, you know, the police commissioner can overturn them and You've got to look at them very, very carefully.
	There's no doubt there are bad cops.
	Gosh, I put 70 at one time in jail when I was part of the Knapp Commission.
	I took one who committed an atrocity, and between Howard Zafer and I, we caught him in two days, and he went to jail for 25 years.
	So I have no affinity to a police officer.
	A police officer who's a criminal is a criminal, not a police officer.
	But I also think that most criminals, when they say they were abused by the police, are lying and only a small minority are telling the truth.
	And I found in my experience, if you do enough investigating, including a case that I brought that vindicated two police officers who were accused of perjury, that if you wait long enough, it is many more times...
	It's going to turn out that the police officer acted properly because most of them are good people.
	The CCRB, you know, takes the word of the criminal.
	Every criminal can create a counter-defense by saying the cop grabbed me by the testicle.
	So the cop did this or the cop did that.
	Okay, having said that, I think we have a pretty good system of reading through that.
	I don't say that we've got a perfect system of weeding through it, but I'd say we've come up with a pretty good system of weeding through it.
	That was pierced by the fact that an investigator, and I want you to listen to this really carefully because when I saw this, I dropped the newspaper.
	An investigator hired by the NYPD's internal watchdog had a 1972 Triple murder conviction.
	And he was going to sit on a board to review abuse complaints by police officers.
	Does that make...
	I don't care if you are very right, very left, or Karl Marx.
	Does that make any sense?
	You take a guy named Ronald Davidson who killed three people.
	Probably should still be sitting in jail.
	But because we have the alternative to capital punishment is life imprisonment.
	He's out.
	Okay, he's out.
	Let's watch him every day.
	No, we put him on a board to decide whether the cops are telling the truth or lying.
	When the perp says, he beat me up, but there are no signs of anything, but he beat me up.
	Uh...
	And the comp says I didn't do it.
	You think after spending, what, 35 years in jail, this guy's going to be objective?
	Or even if you think he is, you think any cop is going to accept that as a fair?
	Suppose I put on the...
	Never mind.
	That's New York.
	That's Democrats.
	This is the kind of crazy crap Democrats do.
	A triple murderer on a police review board?
	Well, they finally figured it out.
	And they've thrown them off.
	I throw them all off and start a new board because they were tainted by them.
	I throw every single one of them off.
	I've been against it from the beginning.
	As a mayor, never saw any good they did.
	They didn't always make wrong decisions, and there were occasionally times I enforced their decisions harshly.
	But I had a review of myself.
	I didn't trust them as far as I could throw them, being fair to my cops.
	And one of the reasons I reduced crime as much as I did, more than any mayor in history, is one of the first things I did was my first police graduation.
	It was in Madison Square Garden, thousands of people.
	I said, you now have a mayor that supports you.
	Basically, I don't give a damn about the political criticism.
	Doesn't matter.
	Arnie Burns, father of Douglas Burns, who you see on Newsmax, Told me to govern as a one-term mayor.
	And who knows?
	I might be a two-term mayor.
	And even more importantly, I might be a good mayor.
	Thank you, Arnie.
	You're not with us anymore.
	And by the way, listen to Douglas Burns on Newsmax.
	He is the best legal analyst by far on all of those shows.
	And he looks just like his dad, who was my campaign chairman.
	And I get a very warm feeling every time I see him.
	I watch it.
	He's on in the morning.
	It makes me feel good to see that the genes were passed on.
	Well, I never thought I'd see this.
	But this guy, Biden, Obama, the nitwit who ran for president, what was her name?
	Camila?
	Kamala.
	Oh, Tackling.
	I remember.
	I don't remember her name, but I remember.
	They've been given a fortune to Iran, right?
	So we know that Obama committed the crime of money laundering by sending millions, hundreds of millions of dollars in cash to the Ayatollah at the height of their killing of Americans.
	Knowing that half that money would be used for terrorist activities, and knowing that maybe all that money is going to be used for terrorist activities, because why the hell would they ask for it in cash?
	I do not think he sends money to Britain in cash.
	I hope he doesn't, unless it's to have stuff when he goes over there.
	I don't know.
	But in any event, too much to ask that Obama be treated like an American and be put in jail for money laundering for the rest of his life, which is what should have happened.
	But then Biden comes in and Trump gets him at the point of bankruptcy and carrying signs to overthrow the Ayatollah.
	Thank God that would solve all the problems in the Middle East.
	And the traitor, Biden, pumps $100 billion into their economy through direct money and through releasing sanctions and giving them back their money.
	No, no, no, not their money.
	Money that was taken for them because they chopped people's heads off.
	The money that's taken from them because they act like animals.
	Money that they shouldn't get because if they get it, they're going to continue to act like animals on a larger scale.
	But he pumps a hundred billion of that and revives them as a great economic power.
	Except if you take a good look at the internal situation in Iran, you'd be very, very surprised.
	And we'll have Ali Razor on again to explain it to you, because he gets to see it just about every day.
	People in Iran are very poor.
	Hmm, you'd think they'd be very rich, all that money going in.
	Hey, Hezbollah, Hamas, the Houthis, and the recently deposed Syrian government get at least half of that money.
	That is, what I'm telling you is not even disputable.
	Even Obama's crooked CIA would have told him that.
	And when the Iranians say, let's change the transfer into cash, I want you to use your mind, which is not nearly as great as Prince Obama or mine.
	I mean, he was brilliant.
	He was the only guy to be head of the Harvard Law Review Without writing an article.
	Because everybody could look at him and know he was brilliant.
	He told him he was.
	And didn't have to write an article.
	And he had a communist write his...
	Tales of My Father, or...
	Dreams of My Father.
	Oh yeah, yeah.
	Bullshit of my father.
	Yeah, that was what it really was.
	The reality is, the whole book is this.
	I've had a very difficult life.
	I'm half black, I'm half white.
	I don't know what I am.
	Hey, jerk, you're half black and you're half white, like Roy Campanella.
	He became an all-star catcher.
	He didn't get all screwed up by it like you did.
	So, Britain, France and Germany are now saying, maybe we should impose the sanctions on Iran because they violated our agreement maybe we should impose the sanctions on Iran because they violated our agreement with them and Maybe we should do that.
	Little pansies.
	They're telling us what to do.
	Why do you think they're doing it?
	I'm going to take a break and when we come back, you're going to tell me.
	Okay?
	Are you ready for some...
	Why France, England, and Germany say, well, what should we do?
	What should we do?
	Are you ready for some action?
	I'm ready for action!

	And I was saying, you know, she came a little late, and I was going to say, well, let's do a special spot for her tomorrow or the next night, or tomorrow or Monday.
	Well, she won't be with us.
	Where are you going, Pauline?
	I'm traveling back home to New York.
	Well, I consider Florida my home now, but yeah, I'm flying back home to see family before the holidays and then going to Europe for a few weeks.
	So tell us your trip to Europe, because it sounded interesting, the way you're doing it.
	Yeah, so I'm flying to London for a layover, then spending five days in Copenhagen, then to take the train to Malmo, Sweden to see the Christmas markets all over.
	Wow.
	Yeah, then I see the castles and the snow, the cliffs, the beautiful scenery, and then make our way to Germany.
	The cities are Hanover, Hamburg, and Berlin, and then flying to Dublin and spending New Year's in Scotland.
	Oh, you're gonna be gone for a while.
	Yeah.
	Wow.
	I'm so excited.
	Now, is this a group or is this your own sort of put-together thing?
	Yeah, so it's actually put together with my friend Ingrid.
	She's in law school.
	You met her.
	She goes to Vanderbilt.
	Oh, yeah, sure.
	Yeah, so we're going to go together.
	It's a funny story, and I'm happy I'm here to tell you because I met her, the girl I'm traveling with, at The New York Young Republicans Club when you were speaking for your son.
	So it's such a funny...
	that I'm telling you on the show now.
	If you don't mind, stay in touch with us and call us a little bit from there.
	Definitely.
	Maybe you can come on and do a little, you know...
	I'd love to.
	Copenhagen...
	It has that beautiful statue, right?
	Yeah.
	Of the mermaid?
	Yeah, I think so.
	Yeah, yeah.
	I have a picture in front of that statue that I'll show you when you come on that got a lot of press.
	That would be actually super interesting to do.
	Because my friend and I, we've been in the political sphere for a while now.
	So to talk about the Europeans, about their stance and get their opinion would be really cool.
	And then tell you guys about it on the show.
	So when you get to Scotland, how long are you going to be in Scotland?
	Five days.
	You should go to the Trump golf course.
	I know.
	I'd love to.
	I'd love to.
	That's beautiful.
	That's the one where I was the one time I didn't trust him when he said, it's better than any golf course in Scotland.
	And I thought, oh yeah, right.
	Then I went to it.
	It is better than any golf course in Scotland.
	It's gorgeous.
	The best of the best.
	It's on the Irish sea coast.
	No, it's on the English Channel.
	That must be beautiful.
	It's on the English Channel, right on the channel.
	It has all these burns that protect it from the sea, but you can see the...
	Oh, my gosh.
	It's gorgeous.
	I'll show pictures, though.
	Also, you have to go to St. Andrews.
	Yeah, I'd love to.
	Where the university is.
	Of course, for golfers, that's the origination of golf.
	The old course is there.
	But it's also St. Andrews University, where the future king and queen of England met.
	Yeah.
	That's where they became in love.
	And it's beautiful.
	I think St. Andrews is like, oh gosh, like a classic Scottish town.
	Yeah.
	Wow.
	I know.
	I'm so excited to see all the posh restaurants, too.
	Everybody always talks about it here.
	So I'm very excited to venture there.
	Up to the Midlands, where they make the best scotch in the world.
	Yeah.
	It's notorious scotch tasting.
	I should.
	No, no.
	They'll show you.
	They'll give you like eight different kinds.
	And then they'll show you the scotch that comes from the islands.
	That's the smoky, peaty scotch.
	Because they have to put peat around it.
	In order to take the moisture out.
	Yeah.
	And it gives it a smell of peat.
	It's very fascinating.
	And then of course all the battles in Scotland.
	Yeah.
	One place the Roman Empire couldn't conquer.
	Yeah.
	A lot of people think they couldn't conquer Britain.
	Not true.
	There was a big Roman occupation of Britain.
	They couldn't conquer Scotland.
	Yeah, that's another reason I'm really excited to go to Europe.
	Knowing that our country is entering safer hands is really reassuring.
	Well, you feel safer going there.
	Yeah.
	Hey, somebody takes you, he'll get you back.
	Yeah, exactly.
	I won't be a hostage.
	We'll make sure.
	Yeah, that's it.
	You're going to get Paulina back.
	And who's going with you?
	My friend Ingrid.
	Ingrid, who we've had here.
	Ingrid, write him down.
	We'll make sure they go.
	Yeah, no, they know how to reach me.
	If not, we'll send Bernie.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Yeah, I have a feeling she'd rather see Bernie than Ted in that sort of situation.
	Me too.
	But Paulina, great friend of the show.
	Yeah, I love it.
	She watches daily.
	She's always texting me when she's not here.
	You know, great suggestions, suggestions, points, comments.
	And we've met some other great people through her.
	And she wants to take us, I don't want to call it horseback riding, but she wants to take us out to the stables in Wellington.
	Yeah.
	That's the most capital of the world.
	Paulina trains among the best in the world.
	We'll go to the stables, and we'll also take some pictures, and I'll show people that I can actually ride a horse.
	So we're going to have a European correspondent, it sounds like, for a little bit.
	Yeah, most definitely.
	So tell me the countries you get.
	So London, Denmark, Sweden, Germany, Ireland, and Scotland.
	How'd you miss Italy?
	I know.
	I'm going to go there in the spring.
	I wanted to go to Lake Como, I did, but we couldn't really fit it into the itinerary.
	The countries we're going to are kind of an easy jump.
	That's good.
	So you'll see all those countries, and then when you see Italy, you'll see the most beautiful country in Europe.
	Yeah, it's so true.
	Not that I'm prejudiced.
	I'm biased, too.
	But my problem is I don't go to Italy because I know I won't leave.
	No, you might not.
	Oh my gosh.
	I was very young when I was...
	Not very young, but I was in my early 20s when I was first in Italy.
	Where were you in Italy?
	The first time I went, I went to...
	Let's see.
	Started in Rome.
	Very nice.
	Florence.
	Milan.
	Then back down to Sorrento.
	Naples.
	Avellino, where my grandparents come from.
	Yeah.
	And then back to Rome.
	Then I've been in other places.
	And then I was there.
	I was there going after the mafia, too, which is a little different.
	Then I was in places you wouldn't want to know.
	And places I can't repeat.
	But, you know, I can't go to Sicily.
	Really?
	Why?
	Well, at least I couldn't go as of eight years ago.
	I tried to.
	The Italian government says they still want to kill me.
	And a friend of ours, who actually said it on the show, if I can repeat it, Steve Bannon says it's absolutely true from the guys that he met at Danbury.
	They still hate me.
	Yeah.
	The people of Sicily.
	Their children hate me.
	Yeah.
	Well, yeah, I mean, look, unfortunately...
	Nobody in the United States has any idea the impact I had on the Sicilian Mafia.
	In Italy.
	And of course, with the biased left-wing lying press, you'll never know about it.
	Well, not if we have something to say about it.
	Hopefully I got a few years on this earth, Mayor, and we're going to keep reminding people.
	You don't really have any idea that the Iranians tried to kill me twice.
	That's right.
	And the mafia didn't.
	The mafia voted 3-2 to not kill.
	Well, the mafia was smarter.
	The Iranians figured out it was much harder to kill me than they thought.
	They got arrested.
	Boy, that's...
	And by the way, those are just the situations we know about.
	We know Iran, the mafia, the Italian mafia.
	I have another one, a really nice one, from the cartel.
	The Colombian cartels put out a contract that literally slipped my throat.
	Yeah, so they had to...
	Okay, so it's very specific.
	They couldn't just take you out.
	They had to do it a very specific way.
	That was just a couple.
	I was going to say, we didn't even talk about the FATWAS. Just a couple of FATWAS. Oh, you're just on...
	That's when you know you've done a few things on the surface.
	You've got a few fought ones.
	The one that has ever done damage is the Democratic Party, Biden, attempt to try to destroy this.
	That's right.
	Carried out by, in part, the law firm of Wilkie.
	Farr in Gallagher with Michael Gottlieb as the hitman who was Joe Biden's law partner, but nobody wants to tell you that.
	And who represented the most crooked company in Ukraine.
	So if you're using Wilkie Farr to represent you, you're using the lawyer who was with the most crooked company in Ukraine.
	So, if you're okay with that...
	And of course, what they can take away is your extraordinary contributions to society.
	Of almost any living American mayor, right?
	Your contributions and life.
	They're trying.
	But they can't do it.
	They really can't do it.
	Notice how many bridges and tunnels are named after me in New York?
	Yeah.
	I know, and that's one thing I'm going to make with my life's mission.
	There is, however, the boss, Tweed Courthouse.
	Yeah, you can't make that up.
	We take down the Jefferson Statue.
	From the city council.
	And we keep up the boss tweet courthouse.
	What does Dinkins have?
	Oh, Dinkins has something.
	A bridge?
	He should have had the, I mean, he has the record for the most murders.
	What does he have?
	The murder's got nothing.
	The Blasio's got nothing.
	Dinkins' major contribution is the most murders in the history of any mayor in the city of New York.
	The only pogrom that we know of where people went out and specifically tried to beat up and kill Jews.
	A million dollar bribe for inner city broadcasting that he got away with.
	He was out of town during the attack on the World Trade Center.
	He was out of town in general.
	And he gets...
	Lionized.
	He gets lionized as really a nice guy.
	And if you met the police who took care of him, they'd tell you he was one major P-R-I-C-K. And that's why.
	But he has a bridge or something named after him.
	I don't think so.
	The bridge.
	It's not really the municipal building where you could cut half the number of people.
	Okay.
	So to be fair, you're never, you know, a Republican is not going to get a municipal building.
	I wouldn't want a municipal building.
	Too much wasted.
	I think my focus is going to be, I don't want to give it away.
	I've been thinking of this for years now.
	Well, you know, I was thinking.
	I want to give away.
	Given how idiotic they are and what they vote for.
	Right now they had a poll out that Bragg is winning re-election.
	Maybe it's better for your reputation if nothing is named F you in New York.
	I'm sorry.
	I love you people.
	I gave my life for you.
	I really did.
	And you double-crossed me by becoming crazy, unbelievably stupid, anti-American, anti-Western values majority.
	And the people that are staying there, who are good people, are suffering because you're a bunch of intellectual snobs.
	Yeah.
	Was Theodore Roosevelt ever mayor?
	No, he was police commissioner.
	He was police commissioner at a time when it didn't mean quite what it means now.
	There was a commission that ran the police department, and he was the chairman of the commission, which made him police commissioner, and then there was the chief of the department.
	So the chief of the department really ran the department.
	He oversaw it.
	We eventually changed that so the police commissioner became effectively the police chief, even though he's a civilian.
	So I don't know if we predated the Defense Department or they predated us, but we began the civilian control of the police.
	So the chief officer in the police department is a civilian.
	So the police commissioner is a civilian.
	If he's a police officer, he has to resign.
	You never see the police commissioner of New York in uniform.
	You always see him in a suit.
	Because he's not allowed to wear a uniform.
	And the...
	Without any doubt, just like commander-in-chief of the military, the mayor is in charge of the police.
	Which Mayor Giuliani reminded people of after 100 years.
	It caused a little problem with Bratton, but...
	Bill Bratton.
	Bill Bratton was a wonderful police commissioner and he helped me a lot.
	But...
	If you want to take a look at who's responsible for it, I reduce crime more after Braden than before.
	Did he come from LA or go to LA? He came from Boston and he knew nothing about the theories that I put in place because they all came out of the 1981 Attorney General's Task Force on Violent Crime written by James Q. Wilson.
	That includes broken windows, that includes career criminal, that includes our drug program, and he was a good executioner of it, not a terribly bright guy.
	But he had a really bright guy, Ed Maple, who I could work with.
	And then when he started leaking too much and drinking too much, I got rid of him.
	That's the truth.
	He likes to say all kinds of lies about it.
	That's the truth.
	Here's the proof in the pudding.
	My next two police commissioners reduce crime even more than him.
	That's right, of course.
	And of course, Bernie Carrick, our audience knows Bernie real well.
	That's my third police commissioner, the right guy for September 11, because he worked for five years in the Middle East.
	And the one in the middle has just departed, Howard Safer, who was a non-police officer.
	He was a federal agent, but a brilliant one.
	And he was a great organizer.
	So the first guy, Branton, despite the things that I said about him that are true and negative, He was a good reformer.
	He knew how to shake things up.
	Without the downside, that should be what Hex said has to do in the military.
	He skipped over the first 27 police officers to get his deputy, first time in history he's ever done.
	Man, that alone shook up the police department.
	It put a lot of innovative programs in.
	He started to get, well, he started to get really to be a little bit of a problem, just a little bit of a problem.
	And we needed a little change.
	So I brought Howard Saverin, who was a organizer.
	He was a manager, brilliant manager.
	He reinvented the United States Marshal Service.
	He created the now very famous Witness Protection Program for the Mafia, and now for everybody.
	There was no such thing before Howard Safer.
	He was a brilliant manager.
	So he solidified and made institutional the changes that Bratton Me.
	Had Bratton been the police commissioner for eight years, they wouldn't have lasted after me and Bratton.
	Safe would make sure they lasted.
	And when he left, largely because of health reasons, I took Bernie Carrick, who was the first New York City police officer I made commissioner.
	He's also one of the most decorated New York City police officers.
	So like Pete Hegsend, they could relate to him.
	He's one of them.
	And they did.
	He had the most morale.
	He reduced crime the most.
	And most importantly, he was there on September 11. And the guy has...
	I can't use the expression I want to use.
	The guy has more courage than you're entitled to have.
	And he saved my life and I saved his life.
	And for that, we're brothers forever.
	And he saved New York.
	That's very nice.
	So those are my three police commissioners.
	We could go hours and hours and Well, we're going to miss you.
	Paulina is going to be in Europe for a month.
	Almost a month, yeah.
	It's the first time I've done something like this.
	Please be safe.
	Thank you.
	A lot of crap going on.
	I know.
	How's your mom feel about it?
	Good.
	I think they're excited.
	Not a little nervous?
	They know I'm smart.
	But I just worry about you.
	Be careful.
	Thank you.
	And if you need any help, call us.
	Thank you, guys.
	In a lot of those places, either I or Bernie know the security people.
	I did have a worldwide security business.
	The number one.
	The largest world.
	Before the Biden people destroyed me.
	Remember, Wilkie Farr Gallagher, which is a Biden hitman law firm, and Michael Gottlieb, who represented the most crooked company in Ukraine.
	They're the ones who did the most damage, but there are a whole bunch of them.
	But we're going to prevail.
	We actually are prevailing.
	While everybody is Figuring out what to do when Trump comes in and what to do about the new group in Syria.
	Are they a worse or a better terrorist than the one running it?
	Israel's going about just destroying all their chemical weapons.
	I love Bibi.
	While Biden was sleeping and Harris was lying and not paying much attention, he wiped out Hamas when they told him not to.
	Yeah.
	Then when they told him not to go into Hezbollah, he pretty much took out the entire leadership of Hezbollah.
	He did.
	And now when nobody's telling him nothing, they're just not paying attention.
	He is doing what we should be doing, which is getting rid of all the chemical weapons in Syria.
	So that if, in fact, we make a mistake and we get another terrorist group, they're not going to have chemical weapons.
	That's very smart.
	I think Trump should put him in the cabinet.
	Yeah.
	What do you think, Ted?
	BB for the cabinet.
	Wouldn't make a bad Secretary of the Treasury.
	He's straightened out...
	Nobody knows that he's straightened out Israel's economy before he's straightened out their security.
	You're right.
	They don't think of him in that sense as much of a...
	A very smart man.
	Somebody who understands...
	Look, Bibi is a just...
	One of the, I would say, one of the greatest leaders of our time.
	Somebody...
	Churchill.
	Yes.
	Under extreme circumstances.
	And look, and similar to you and President Trump, someone who...
	Is often maligned by the establishment media, right?
	That's very true.
	Despite all of the good he is doing for his people, including those there that are probably criticizing him and calling for his head.
	He's keeping them alive.
	He's keeping them alive and their right to say those things.
	He's also developed a capitalist economy, one of the strongest economies per capita on earth.
	Yeah.
	Israel was not a very rich country.
	Israel per capita is a...
	Why do you think they can do these miracles?
	I mean, whoever thought they could dispatch Hamas, Hezbollah, and now eventually they're scaring the hell out of Iran.
	Iran is looking at this and saying, Jesus, we better get nuclear because we can't take on Israel.
	Well, before they become nuclear, how about we get rid of the reign of terror, Mr. President-elect?
	That's right.
	Stop this.
	If you want to say we're not for regime change, I'm okay with it if you want to say it.
	If you really believe it, then you'll never have peace in the Middle East.
	Sorry.
	That's just the facts, not politics.
	Just the facts, ma'am.
	Just the facts.
	So they want to have a ceasefire in Gaza.
	That sounds like a year and a half ago.
	They always want a ceasefire in Gaza.
	I feel like I see the same headlines.
	All the time.
	Yeah, repeatedly.
	I love how Biden took credit for the fall of Assad.
	Which only occurred because of Israel beating the living daylights out of Hezbollah, which he was against.
	Yes, absolutely.
	100%.
	And I have a feeling a lot of these different parties over there, they were rushing to get this done under Biden because they know that with President Trump...
	America, yeah.
	No, and even the people who overthrew Assad, who are a Sunni terrorist group.
	Oh, Sunni, yeah.
	An anti-American.
	So this is our best opportunity.
	Exactly.
	Well, Biden, we can do what we need to do.
	With Trump, we just don't know.
	Everybody knows Trump is crazy.
	Yeah, I love that the media was, they proved that in 2016. Oh, Trump with the button.
	And I'm like, this is great.
	Keep doing this, media.
	I want the rest of the world to think that we're not a guy that will push that button at any moment, right?
	Sure.
	Like, let him.
	Thanks, guys.
	But they're too boneheaded.
	The mayor has talked about this repeatedly, right?
	The idea that even if Putin thought there was a 1% chance or a 2% chance of Trump doing something like that, that's enough to effectuate whole appropriate foreign policy.
	Hopes rise for ceasefire in Gaza.
	They get these reporters.
	What does that even mean?
	This is the Ivy League sissy chorus on the Middle East.
	That's right.
	It's quite interesting.
	Now, the interesting thing about ceasefire is that if we go back, and we're going to do it for our end of the year show, okay?
	Okay.
	If we go back, Biden was calling, I did it in my last year's end of year show, Biden was calling for a ceasefire before there was a fire.
	So when October 7 happened, Israel said, we're going to retaliate and we're going to destroy Hamas.
	Bibi got organized within Five days.
	Put 100,000 troops on the border of Gaza.
	And then we began, ceasefire!
	Ceasefire!
	Wait, wait.
	Nobody fired yet.
	Can we at least shoot one guy?
	That's, that's, we laugh, but that's absolutely how this works.
	All told, he's given Israel $14 billion.
	And he just recently gave another $8 billion to Iran.
	And altogether, he's gone, before that, well over $100 billion to Iran.
	He's given probably about $34 billion through the UN, which of course is a Hamas organization, about triple the amount to Palestine that he's given to Israel.
	So what side is he on?
	The money counts, right?
	Do you think he'll send pallets of cash before he gets sworn out to Iran?
	Yeah, I'm getting nervous here.
	What did Joe up to here in the final days?
	I think he went to...
	Actually, yeah, he won't.
	What are the people who are controlling Joe up to, right?
	Yes.
	Joe doesn't know.
	I already checked out.
	They took him to Angola to make a deal.
	No doubt about it.
	Yeah.
	For gold.
	No deal.
	I'm telling you.
	No doubt about it.
	A corrupt deal.
	It's exactly what he did when he left the vice presidency.
	He went to Ukraine a lot of times at the end.
	You're the vice president of the United States, right?
	You're closing out your office.
	You've got to make sure that your classified papers are left behind.
	And not put in the hands of your traitorous son, the completely degenerate partner of the spy chief of China, Hunter Biden.
	You don't pay any attention to that.
	They all get into the hands of your son.
	You go off to Ukraine for four of the last five days.
	How come?
	What are you doing in Ukraine?
	Everywhere in the world this guy could be.
	I know what he was doing to Ukraine.
	Ukraine?
	He was solidifying the offshore bank accounts, which the FBI never investigated.
	Deliberately avoided investigating, which is why Chris Ray should go to hell.
	Also, Kamala in her final days as Vice President, she's in enormous debt.
	I mean, she has to be doing something to benefit herself too.
	Don't you think?
	Keep our eye on these people.
	Yeah.
	These people are not in it for the right reasons.
	They didn't get into politics or public service for the same reasons you did, Mayor Giuliani.
	That's so true.
	Or President Trump did.
	What reasons you're interested in it, Stephen?
	Well, I appreciate you saying that means a lot.
	But this is why we need people.
	Gosh, I'll take Democrats.
	I don't care who.
	You get into it with a sincere desire to help the United States and a willingness to examine critically your philosophy and thinking.
	You can be a Democrat or Republican.
	You're going to be fine.
	It's when you get into it for all kinds of anti-American philosophies, emotional disturbances, problems in your personality.
	I mean, Joe Biden With a psychotic before he started in politics.
	And when you think about it, he got tossed out of the 1988 presidential election with a comment from the liberal reporters.
	Thank God we caught him now.
	He might be president someday.
	Well, we got him as president someday.
	I don't know what happened to the Democratic Party.
	I think I don't even think it's Clinton.
	I mean, Clinton's problems were more moral.
	They weren't patriotic.
	Clinton is a patriotic American.
	He loves America.
	Hillary, I don't know about Hillary.
	Hillary had too much training as a communist.
	I'm not sure.
	But it's Obama who really put us down the road headed to the devil.
	And all the things about him that I rejected originally from the right-wingers, I thought they were crazy.
	They're all true.
	He was trained by communists.
	His book was written by a communist.
	His thinking is communistic.
	He hates America.
	He never said anything good about us.
	And his wife hates us even more.
	Didn't he go to Colombia?
	Obama went to Colombia, right?
	Yeah, but we don't have any record of anything.
	The editor of the Harvard Law Review is a very prestigious position among law students.
	I don't know.
	The number one at Harvard or the head of the Law Review is probably the most distinguished law school graduate in the country, I'd say 20 years ago.
	From time immemorial, the head of the Harvard Law Review or the head of the Columbia Law Review Well, the head of the NYU or any law review is elected by the law review members based on articles they write in their second year that are so distinguished.
	There's not a single scrap of evidence that Obama wrote a single word when he was on the Harvard Law Review.
	The only person we can think of on the Harvard Law Review that never wrote anything.
	And nobody in a million years believes that he wrote his book.
	They believe it was written by that communist police killer, whose name I can't remember, at the University of Chicago.
	Oh, the pastor?
	No, no, the pastor!
	Goddamn America!
	Goddamn America!
	You know, Michelle was clapping because America was doing all sorts of terrible things then.
	Because America didn't do anything right until they elected her husband.
	So she would have been very enthusiastic about goddamn America because that was the period we'd been doing everything wrong, like winning the Second World War, freeing the slaves, passing the Civil Rights Act, right?
	Right.
	How about taking more people out of poverty than anybody in history?
	Well, Paul, you know, we hate to say goodbye to you for a while.
	I know.
	I'm going to wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
	Yes, Merry Christmas.
	We're going to leave on you a great burden of guilt that you have to cause.
	Yes, definitely.
	I'll give you live updates about Europe.
	Give us reports from various parts of Europe.
	Yeah.
	You know, very secretly or carefully, without endangering yourself, take a look at what the anti-Semitism is like.
	Yeah, I'll note that.
	Because those places are all reputed to have a heavy amount of anti-Semitism.
	Just to be safe, though.
	No, no, you don't have to.
	You don't have to.
	Just ask around, that's all.
	Yeah.
	No, no, we know she's got a good head on her shoulders.
	I'm not concerned.
	But I want to say it.
	She's the best.
	She really is.
	We love Paulina.
	We just care about her.
	Well, you have a great time, all right?
	Thank you.
	I appreciate it.
	I wish your family a very, very happy Christmas.
	And thank you very much for the wonderful little Christmas cakes, Italian.
	Of course.
	Yeah, I've had a ton.
	Yeah.
	Ton and the Ferrier Rocher's.
	Wow!
	Show those off real quick.
	Italian.
	Oh wow, what is that?
	This is called panettone, this is Italian.
	Show the picture of it.
	Like fruitcake.
	Show the picture of it.
	Show the audience the camera.
	Yeah, wow.
	That's good.
	This cupcake is fabulous.
	How do you say it?
	Panatone.
	Panatone.
	Panatone?
	That's good.
	Wow.
	So we're going to dig in.
	What do you eat that with?
	Tea, espresso, coffee.
	How about, you know I like it with butter, right?
	Butter.
	Can we have that with butter?
	You can have it with this coffee.
	I don't know.
	Give me that coffee.
	No, it would go better with the morning coffee.
	Ah, perfect.
	This is the morning one?
	Oh, forget that.
	Sorry, you can have decaf if you want.
	We'll go with the bold.
	Go ahead.
	This is very good.
	It's organic.
	Yeah, yeah.
	You guys should buy it.
	Yeah.
	This would go very well together in the afternoon.
	This would be very nice, like at 4 o'clock in the afternoon, if you want that.
	Right here.
	Awesome.
	There you go.
	And you know, you can take bold, if you have an espresso machine, you can put it in your espresso machine, you'll get great espresso.
	You know, so it's not really particularly special beans.
	It's the way you brew it.
	Yeah.
	So this is a...
	It's a slow drip.
	Fabulous.
	This is a fabulous...
	These are all aerobica.
	So cool.
	All pure.
	No chemicals.
	Perfectly safe.
	Very healthy.
	And going up in price.
	Yeah, I see on the back it says donations go to veterans.
	Yes, yes.
	First aid responders.
	It's very...
	You're helping our boys and girls who need help.
	And I load up on this because I think I showed you the chart list.
	I don't have it with me, but the price of Arabica is going through the roof.
	And I don't know if it isn't organized.
	I tried to get Darren, who's my partner.
	I tried to get Darren to tell me a lot of it says there were floods and several of the places where they said there were floods, there were no floods.
	So we don't know if this is like an orchestration or it's reality.
	But they're trying to drive the price of Arabica up.
	So we'll have to take a good look at this.
	But we have plenty of this pre-up.
	So you can get plenty of Arabica.
	We have nothing but Arabica.
	No Robusto.
	Robusto is what you get when you go to the diner.
	Robusto is what you get I never liked Starbucks right from the beginning.
	Panettone, a little cake, a little chocolate.
	Where will you be on Christmas?
	In Germany.
	A very traditional Christmas.
	Yeah.
	Where they originally did Silent Night.
	That was Silent Night.
	It was written by a German immigrant.
	Yeah.
	Well, he was in Germany and he brought it to Pennsylvania.
	And then it was translated into English.
	Oh, I didn't know that.
	I always thought that.
	Of course.
	Of course.
	That's also where the Bach Christmas Oratorio was written by the greatest composer in the history of the world, Johann Sebastian Bach.
	We'll play a little of the Christmas oratory.
	Everybody likes Handel's Messiah at Christmas.
	Handel's Messiah is an Easter piece.
	It's about the resurrection, really.
	It has a beautiful first part about the birth.
	But the really great piece of Western music on Christmas is the Christmas oratorio.
	And it was done by Bach when Johann was the Kappelmeister in Munich?
	One of the German cities.
	And he had to write a cantata, Bach, for each of the days of Christmas.
	So he always did that.
	Then he decided to do one organized one.
	So he does one for the day after Christmas.
	The epiphany is later out.
	uh the uh uh the uh nativity he has like seven seven six of them and they're gorgeous all right we're playing one what are you playing box cantata yeah this is the it depends i mean if you really want to do it uh correctly you do it from uh from december 24 christmas eve until january uh yeah until epiphany yeah This is Bach's Christmas Oratorio.
	We'll play a little bit in the background as you guys know.
	That's the beginning.
	Oh my gosh, I know this beginning so well.
	This is Bach's Christmas Oratorio.
	Christmas played in the churches of Charleston.
	This would probably be a oratory.
	Christmas Eve.
	Oh, this is for Christmas Eve.
	Now, it is accompanied by a text, which is the biblical text and then commentary.
	So there you have a story.
	Many have a warrior, a nice soul by a fellow or a man.
	Then you might have a duet, a crossbow.
	Then you might have just a yes, a key, where someone in almost like a gory and chant, chants out biblically and tells you, in the time of Caesar Augustus, he in the time of Caesar Augustus, he held a war called Mahomet.
	You'll have that spoken, but not spoken, chanted.
	And then there'll be commentary on the chorales and the arias and the duets.
	And Bach was largely a church musician.
	He was a master in three great churches in Germany.
	And probably the most prolific composer.
	He probably, even with the things that have missed him, he probably has produced more music than any composer in history.
	And probably the most dominant.
	People don't know him.
	So much of what he did you can find in both German and Italian composers that come after him for 200 years.
	Amazing.
	And if you listen to him, you'll love his music.
	It's very lively.
	It's not like...
	You heard that?
	Yeah.
	And this is what they'll play.
	It's long, so they'll play this...
	Oh, they play it on different days.
	Different parts of it.
	Yeah.
	Depends on the church service that you go to.
	What's an oratorio?
	If you were to define an oratorio.
	An oratorio is one of those.
	An oratorio is one of those.
	Well, a cantata and an oratorio are very simple.
	A cantata is largely written for the church.
	It's a music that's composed around a biblical topic to explain the Bible topic and to explicate, to give you various versions of it.
	An oratorio is usually like an early opera.
	Oratorio would be a standstill opera.
	Handel's Messiah is an oratorio.
	It basically tries to cover the life of Christ.
	And then all of that, they didn't have operas.
	1600, all of that was Who knows if he wrote the first one or he was the Columbus.
	But Monteverdi wrote the first opera in 1600. And Monteverdi was a composer of all these church things.
	So the opera emerged from the Roman Catholic Church.
	So go ahead, be anti-Roman Catholic.
	With the present Pope, I can understand it.
	Yes.
	But we as Catholics, or I as a Catholic, have to submit his rulings on faith and law.
	Nothing else.
	When he says, you know, it's fine to take care of the communists in Venezuela or make them important, I can say go to hell.
	That's not fate tomorrow, pal.
	That's politics.
	May I say something quite respectfully?
	You popes have been really shitty at politics for a long time.
	How about all the wars you created?
	Why don't you get a little humility, pal?
	Well, on that thought, having condemned my pope, saying goodbye to the beautiful Paulina who's going off to Europe.
	Thank you.
	She'll give you a dazzling success in Europe.
	We're never getting her back.
	We're never getting her back.
	What do you mean?
	You'll be careful now.
	Thank you.
	We love you.
	Pleasure.
	And God bless America!
	God bless America.
	God bless America.
	Thank you.
	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.
