Time	Text
	Good evening, this is Rudy Giuliani and this is America's Mayor live from Palm Beach.
	Right behind me, that big black thing there, that's Palm Beach.
	It's the road to Mar-a-Lago.
	Don't tell anybody.
	It's a secret way.
	So, speaking of Mar-a-Lago, they put out a new portrait of Melania Trump yesterday.
	And it is quite different than the other.
	So let's look.
	Want to switch over and show this new portrait of her?
	There it is, right there.
	Now, she had a hard time.
	I mean, you can see why she had a hard time getting on Vogue.
	She's just too beautiful for Vogue, right?
	I mean, they're used to putting on the first stepmother and Kamala Harris and people like that.
	They really do not want a beautiful woman on.
	But, you know, the reason that I find this really interesting, that's a very, very, I would say, businesslike.
	It's a serious, not at all a harsh face, but a pleasant face, almost a smile.
	But I'd say a businesslike.
	Photo.
	It's not really a portrait, right?
	It's a photo.
	Right, Ted?
	Yeah, yeah.
	They'll do a portrait, you know, at the end, but I think this is what they're going to put out as her official portrait, as they will.
	You saw the presidents, which the presidents, I think, you just show somebody and they'll do what he wants.
	I think you show it to Zee and say, you know, stop screwing around and Zee will Will relieve himself involuntarily.
	But this one is quite businesslike.
	Right?
	I wouldn't say it's glamorous.
	I wouldn't say it's too harsh.
	I would say it's beautiful.
	Well, we have a beautiful first lady, which is why she's never on Vogue, because Vogue just wants ugly people.
	You know who really is shocking us?
	Certainly Ted and me, and I think Stephen, too.
	Fetterman.
	When Fetterman ran for office, he couldn't talk, right?
	And, you know, I know he was sick, but it seemed a little odd to have a senator.
	Since all they do is talk, they don't do anything else, right?
	They talk and they vote.
	Or they try to avoid voting.
	But they talk a lot.
	He couldn't talk.
	Now, the guy is looking for a chapter in Profiles in Courage.
	He goes on to view with probably the dumbest people in America.
	That's why they're so interesting.
	People watch him because every day they want to know what kind of stupid or dumb thing are they going to say.
	And here, now, this has really been very, very bad.
	I don't know which two.
	Two of them were actually taken to the hospital with a nervous breakdown after they heard this.
	But I don't think they know how to respond.
	He really just completely fooled them.
	Want to play that, Ted?
	That's kind of where we're at early on.
	Or do you anticipate that there's going to be changes that we should be prepped for that we're not thinking about?
	Honestly, I haven't been surprised by anything now.
	I mean, he's been doing essentially what he actually campaigned on that.
	He announced he is going to pardon the J6 individuals.
	He is going to absolutely go after the border.
	So there's a lot of things that he's already ran out.
	I'm not sure it's the one I want.
	I mean, he criticized a lot of it, and I don't agree with everything either, but it's undeniable he actually ran out.
	That's good, that's good.
	And he's, you know, kind of making those moves.
	So that's kind of where we're at early on, immediately after the election.
	I was like, hey, you know, we have a choice.
	You know, we can freak out and follow every other thing around, you know, like a cat, you know, with a laser, you know, after everyone.
	But I'm not I'm not that guy.
	I'm not going to be that Democrat.
	You know, for me, there's things I'm going to agree with.
	I'm going to disagree with.
	But I'm in the business of finding wins for Pennsylvania and for the nation and engaging the president.
	I think.
	Well, for them.
	So that for them, this must have been this had to be a shock to.
	First of all, they don't have a great deal of brain capacity to process things like that.
	Imagine the meeting with Trump was actually positive and really good, and it's a good thing to actually sit down and talk about how to solve these problems, even if you don't agree.
	I mean, these, what are they, four of them?
	I mean, these are like bouncing off the wall stupid idiots.
	It's an embarrassment.
	And probably a sign still of a great deal of problems in America that people actually watch them other than for, you know, to make fun of them.
	I mean, they create, I do have to say, they create enormous amount of material for conservative commentators.
	And they're a whole, if you go on YouTube, they're a whole podcast devoted just to making fun of them.
	I can think of four that are devoted just to making fun of them, ripping them apart.
	Whenever I feel a little sad or something, I want to have some fun, I put it on and listen to some idiotic thing that Whoopi says or some ignorant thing.
	What's that one that really scares babies?
	The one who's got a face like he's scared babies.
	I mean, I never watch them except where somebody picks out the stupid and dumb things that they say.
	But imagine Fetterman saying that...
	You know, he liked talking to Trump.
	Wow.
	Boy.
	Then, oh, the big one was, oh, the whole trial in New York was just politics.
	They were, they were like shocked.
	What?
	What?
	That was all politics.
	Everybody knows that.
	He really didn't do anything wrong.
	I don't know how this guy...
	Well, I guess maybe Ted, he was sick, and now the true guy comes out.
	Right?
	We sure were hard on him when he was running, but who knew?
	Who knew?
	You should know that one of the people that Trump pardoned, Matthew Huddle, was killed in an altercation with the police in Indiana.
	With the Jasper County Sheriff's Office.
	And they'd have put out no details about it.
	The guy himself went to, looks like, a fairly minor J6 violator, if a violator at all.
	He got a six-month sentence.
	He was convicted only of a misdemeanor.
	And there was no violence involved in what he did, like violence against the police or anything like that.
	So probably one of the easier ones to pardon.
	But he was in some kind of an altercation with the police.
	The only fact revealed about it from the Indiana police is that he had a gun, but they say in the car.
	So I guess we'll learn more about it.
	And since the...
	Left-wing media hasn't made much of it.
	It sounds like there isn't much to it, but we'll have to see.
	So we, Ted, do we have our guest yet?
	Well, if we don't have our guest yet, I'm going to cover something else that I want to cover.
	And am I allowed to?
	I've got to get permission.
	Got to get permission from Ted.
	I want to...
	I want to express my sympathy because I feel really, really bad that Selena Gomez is so upset.
	I mean, poor thing.
	She's crying her eyes out because Trump and Holman are throwing out murderers, rapists, pedophiles.
	People who engage in child trafficking and female trafficking.
	I mean, you look at the representative group just yesterday that were caught.
	I mean, one of them sexually abused a three-year-old.
	What a shame that he's being treated so harshly.
	I mean, it really is a shame.
	She said afterwards when she had to take her thing down that apparently it's not okay to show empathy.
	Yeah, empathy for the guy in Massachusetts who came from the Dominican Republic illegally.
	And, oh, gee, I mean, he just, Cesar Polanco, Cesar killed a 25-year-old girl.
	Judith Guevara, who was pregnant.
	What a shame.
	What a horrible thing to throw him out of the country.
	Selena is crying over it.
	She even said, how can my people be treated like this?
	I didn't know that somebody who killed a 25-year-old pregnant girl is one of her people.
	I don't know.
	What people is she?
	Then, this one isn't quite as bad, but Ed Garlis Vegas, 21, was arrested for kicking a police officer.
	And of course, nobody held her in jail and nobody reported her in immigration because it's illegal to do that in New York.
	But she was let out without bail.
	Do you know she didn't show up?
	Isn't that a surprise?
	Since 95% of them don't show up, I don't even know why they're getting all excited about it.
	But this is one of her people, too.
	They kick police.
	Oh, and then there's the one who threw the lady on the subway tracks, who was another one of the illegals that's one of her people.
	So can we show Selena?
	Do you have Selena crying?
	I mean, I don't want to embarrass her, but I really would love to interview her and find out, because she does say, I feel so bad for my people.
	I'm trying to figure out who her people are.
	Do you know who Selena Gomez is, first of all?
	Oh, Selena.
	She's an actress.
	Even I know that.
	She's not a singer.
	Is she?
	Oh, is she an actress?
	She started as one and became the other, right?
	I don't consider...
	Don't get angry at me now.
	I don't consider Taylor Swift a singer.
	Taylor's a...
	No, I consider her a noisemaker.
	Okay.
	I consider Maria Callas a singer.
	I'm trying...
	I have her.
	Yeah, this is Selena Gomez crying.
	Oh, look at poor Selena.
	Oh, Selena, I feel so sorry for you.
	I wish those rapists weren't thrown out.
	It'd be so much better if they were here to leave you.
	Oh, my people are getting attacked.
	The children.
	Okay, and our guest is now entered, so we can transfer from this to...
	I'm so sorry, I wish I could do something, but I can't.
	I don't know what to do.
	Look, of course, Lena.
	I'll try everything.
	Oh, gee.
	Yeah, did she cry for Lake and Riley?
	Yeah, yeah, I mean...
	What about the guy?
	He hasn't gone to trial yet.
	The guy who was here from Venezuela.
	And then he was looking for a girl to rape in Athens, Georgia, and he picked on poor Lincoln Riley.
	Biden still doesn't know who she is.
	He thinks she's Lincoln Riley.
	You're not shedding any tears for her.
	And these idiots actually endorse people for office.
	Is she, by the way, is she an actress or a singer?
	She was a singer first, I'm told.
	Oh, what did she sing?
	Doodle, doodle, doodle, doodle.
	We had some pop hit back in the day.
	Really?
	May I have that, please?
	Yeah, so you'll want this, Mayor.
	We have our guest, of course, with the news about DeepSeek, I believe is what it is, has rocked the tech world and beyond.
	So we thought we'd bring on our friend and a tech expert.
	To join us, we have with us now Allison Wynn.
	She's a former Democrat, former Obama fundraiser, now supports President Trump.
	And she is an expert on all things Silicon Valley, including she was a member of the PTA at Palo Alto High.
	Is that the name of the school, Allison?
	I was the team president for Palo Alto High School.
	It's one of the largest public school districts in Northern California.
	Ground zero for Silicon Valley.
	Well, Allison, you know, we're interested in your perspective on DeepSeek.
	And how much is this a problem now?
	Or is this more of a wake-up call?
	I think it's really a wake-up call, Mayor.
	Thanks for having me here.
	I think it's really too soon to make an assessment.
	As you know, you're a national security expert yourself, and sometimes when these new things come up, we need to not overreact and just...
	You know, assess the situation.
	I think it could be a Sputnik moment for us, just like the Russians got Sputnik satellite into space.
	And it was a wake-up call for America saying, hey, you know, we need to step up.
	We need to collaborate.
	Stop, like, infighting.
	Stop suppressing censorship, you know, free speech and doing censorship.
	Let's have these tech companies work together instead of being so ultra-competitive.
	And you see...
	President Trump doing that with Stargate, bringing people together and collaborating.
	You think that the administration had foreknowledge of this and that's why they went ahead with that deal last week?
	Seems rather strange that they did this gigantic deal last week.
	And now, you know, China puts out this thing about having a faster and bigger capacity.
	Which, of course, you know, they're going to lie.
	Well, you know, I... We can talk about the psych ops from the Chinese side as well as from the American side.
	These things are, you know, things are leaked back and forth.
	China is very big.
	You know, they developed this on NVIDIA chips, and I don't think it's a small company in China developing this.
	I think it is a nation-state effort, and they are deflating the actual number of $6 million to make it appear.
	Oh, out of nowhere, that they're so creative, they're these wonderful geniuses, and they were working alone, and yet they came up with this breakthrough technology that other people have spent a combined trillion dollars to do, and yet they were able to, out of nowhere, pull this rabbit out of the hat.
	I think that's necessarily true.
	And we're just examining the code because it's all open source.
	It looks like they stole a lot of stuff from ChatGPT.
	Sure.
	This is a fact.
	And so I'm not going to name my sources, but top researchers from some of the biggest institutions from America, we believe a lot of the technology was stolen.
	You can look at the pre-training.
	It acts and looks like it's ChatGPT, DeepSeek.
	R1 thinks it's ChatGPT.
	So, you know, they stood in the sidelines for many months, for a year and a half, to really deconstruct and learn how we did generative AIs, these American tech companies.
	They went in, they copied a lot of that technology.
	So they are copycats, but yet we have to give credit where credit is due.
	They added a new secret sauce, which is absolutely...
	Delicious.
	And that secret sauce, basically, let me explain the new technology, is that before with generative AI, your baby was only able to speak one word, one word at a time, and we would string that into a sentence, and that's what you would get in your chat GPT or perplexity chatbot.
	So now with DeepSeek, your baby can speak two words at a time.
	So two words technically is a sentence.
	So the baby, our AI baby, is now speaking complete sentences.
	It was crawling and now it's walking.
	So it is...
	Are we capable of doing that?
	Yes, we can because they open source the technology.
	That means the source code is...
	Completely open.
	We see their training data.
	We see their code.
	And the licensing allows anyone to copy that technology.
	So, I mean, this goes back to, like, a psych ops.
	Like, why did China do this?
	Maybe before, like, the trade negotiations and tariffs to say, hey, you know, China, we're good people, too.
	You know, we're, okay, we've stolen, we've, like, been a bad actor.
	You know, we're human, and we are creative, and we're making a contribution to this golden age of AI, and we deserve a seat at the buffet.
	I don't know.
	That's my kind of, like, psych-op read.
	Oh, yeah.
	I mean, look, if it really represented a massive advantage, then it wouldn't make sense to leak it.
	I mean, if I were China or the United States, I'd rather have this capacity, and they are not knowing.
	All our knowing about it does is, as you say, become another Sputnik.
	Well, you couldn't hide Sputnik.
	So it has to be that whatever they have, they're exaggerating.
	Because if they had a massive lead on us, the best thing to do is to keep your mouth shut and let us rely on our faulty intelligence.
	So, look, when the Soviet Union fell, What we found out was for 40 years, we overestimated them.
	Their capacity to do damage to us, we had probably multiplied by four.
	Now, that was good.
	I mean, I am all in favor of anything that motivates us to stay ahead in all these areas.
	And also to realize that military spending is not the only thing, or traditional military spending is not the only thing that is going to keep us ahead.
	Because if we fall behind here, they can undermine all that military spending and all those weapons.
	So I see this as a good development.
	Yeah, I agree.
	I think it's a big wake-up call.
	I think the market is overreacting.
	I think people are overreacting.
	There's a lot to do to get to AGI. That's general, you know, artificial general intelligence, right?
	And so the baby is what's crawling.
	Now it's walking.
	It was having one word utterance.
	Now it's speaking somewhat incomplete sentences.
	And so let's have the baby speak paragraphs.
	Let's have it recite Shakespeare and write Shakespeare.
	So there's a lot to do and we can...
	Lots of room for American innovation to grow and work together and focus on innovation, entrepreneurship, creativity, instead of censorship, instead of suppressing American creativity.
	Restricting our freedom, I think, with President Trump.
	He is opening the gates for this golden age of innovation.
	But first, he's got to get water to us, California.
	So, you know, we were living in a third-world country here, Mayor.
	Well, I'll come out there and fill up your fire hydrants, okay?
	Maybe we should start with putting water in the fire hydrants.
	See, I think that Democrats think the fire hydrants are for dogs to urinate.
	They have no idea that they're actually meant to fight fires.
	That would be too much practical thinking for these morons.
	Yeah, I agree.
	We have to get all the right things, the practical things.
	We have to clean up the streets.
	We have to secure the border, right?
	For us to be creative.
	The baseline, the basics have to be provided, and that's what the government is supposed to do.
	And it hasn't been doing that for a long time, Mayor.
	And so I'm just really...
	Grateful and hopeful that President Trump is now elected and has done so much in the last seven days and hopefully now that like they can provide the government can provide like the baseline infrastructure so that we the citizens can be creative we can work and we can be productive and have this meaningful Thank
	you very much, Allison.
	Once again, your explanation was both very good and very accessible, you know, able to understand it.
	Appreciate it.
	And my audience appreciates it greatly.
	Thank you.
	And good luck and stay safe out there in that strange alien place.
	Called California.
	Yeah, California.
	Man.
	They lost sight of the fact that that's what...
	You know, in New York, we used to call them...
	I'll tell you this.
	I don't remember when I teased you with the expression Johnny Pump.
	That's what New Yorkers used to call fire hatchets.
	Yeah.
	And when we had very hot summers, we'd open the Johnny Pumps to get water.
	And, you know, didn't have things like in California pools.
	And then the fire department.
	We get very upset about that because then the fire hydrant, when they show up, might not have water in it, which is the reason why we have so many, so you can go to the next one very quickly.
	Or we also had as a backup, because we had a plan B and C, pumpers.
	Pumpers contain water.
	Gee, that's novel.
	Have water to fight a fire.
	You see all those people in Pasadena?
	Fighting fires with something else.
	Dust.
	Gravel.
	Save us from woodless.
	Please.
	That's a prayer.

	Most people don't use this quality.
	We deal with small farmers because they 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 going to go into the roaster.
	and it'll get roasted for about 20 minutes or so oh my goodness look at these My goodness!
	You're gonna want to specially order these!
	Music This is what goes into Rudy's coffee.
	This is Rudy Giuliani back with America's Mayor Live.
	Live from Palm Beach in a free part of America.
	Not ruled by Democrats.
	So the reason I'm here in Palm Beach, one more example of it is Yesterday, a gentleman, or not a gentleman, an animal, named Marquise Brazillas threw a woman on the subway.
	Well, he had been arrested in the last six months, three times, and released.
	It seemed like the judge, you know, was just waiting for him to do this.
	And they don't give you the name of the judge, which really annoys me, because I would, you know...
	Put his picture up and let you know who he is, like I used to do when I was mayor.
	Whenever judges did this, I'd hold a press conference to tell you who they were, put out a picture of them, and look at the rest of the cases in which they were delivering animals and criminals to our streets to hurt our population, largely because they were ignorant liberals.
	But this was in Kings County.
	Well, it goes back and forth between Kings County and Albin.
	Bragg's Manhattan.
	And basically, he sexually assaulted a woman.
	This is before he threw the woman on the tracks.
	Sexually assaulted a woman.
	That was back on December 21st.
	That's just a little while ago, right?
	Then he had another arrest on the 19th for illegal entry.
	And then another one on...
	Another one in January for groping a woman on the subway.
	But that was not enough to require keeping him in jail.
	He wasn't like a danger to the public.
	I hope now that he, by the way, thank God the woman didn't die because through no fault of his, he pushed her and the train just came in and she banged against the train and came back the other way.
	She was injured, but she didn't die.
	Thank God.
	But he was trying to kill her.
	So maybe they'll let him out now so that he can actually kill somebody.
	It's almost as if they want New Yorkers killed.
	So I will tell you this, and I want you just to focus on this for a moment.
	I could probably, without any doubt, I can tell you there's a minimum of five and a maximum of 8,000 people walking the streets of New York that would not be walking the streets if I were the mayor, or if Bloomberg were the mayor.
	All of this changed in 2019 under Andrew Cuomo, who now wants to be mayor.
	He passed the bill that did away with bail.
	You can only hold people really basically for murder.
	Otherwise, you've got to put them back out on the street.
	So that's why all the stores are leaving, because you can do all the looting you want in stores, and you'll be back out on the street.
	The arrest will just be a brief interruption in your making money by stealing.
	Same thing with drug dealers.
	Same thing with people who beat up cops.
	That's why when they do this J6 stuff, they were violent with the police.
	These people did six months, a year, two years in jail.
	These people were held without bail.
	They weren't released without bail.
	They were held without bail.
	Hundreds of them.
	These people let out.
	Sometimes they complain that they're delayed too long.
	This guy committed murder with the assistance of the district attorney in Manhattan, Bragg, and the district attorney in Brooklyn.
	This murder would not have happened if there was anything close to a decent, sensible government.
	In either one of these two places, a guy like this had demonstrated over and over again that he was a serious danger and should have been held.
	And if this was the only case, okay.
	This happens all the time.
	Every day, I don't cover it all the time.
	I used to when I had a radio show that was largely broadcast in New York, but I can't.
	I mean, that's all I cover.
	So, RFK is coming up for a hearing on Thursday, and the New York Post has greeted him with an editorial that is vicious, absolutely vicious, calling him a hazard, and they hope the Senate does Trump a favor and keeps him out of the administration, largely because of all the things he said and he did when he was a Democrat activist.
	I am willing to tell you because I not only knew him when he was a Democrat activist, he used to sue me when he was a Democrat activist.
	And sometimes he sued me for the stupidest damn things.
	And sometimes he sued me because it really was valid.
	It was mostly over the Hudson River, some other projects.
	He was wrong at times.
	And he was right at times.
	And there were times in which we settled with him because...
	He was pointing out a problem that really existed.
	And then there were times he went too far.
	He did have a tendency to be overzealous.
	But that's not the worst quality.
	And he's realistic enough to know who the boss is.
	And there is a real plus side to him.
	He is the first one and by far to this day has done the best work on what happened during the pandemic.
	His book reads as a conviction of Fauci for bribery of the worst kind.
	And Fauci's bribery, please notice that Fauci's pardon goes back to 2014. That's long before COVID. I would say you certainly have enough to allege.
	That Fauci was taking bribes well before COVID. Thank God he pointed it out.
	Now, I think there's a way to still prosecute him.
	Fauci the rat.
	But I'm not going to tell you how, because if I tell you how, he and his lawyers will fix it.
	I think that Pam Bondi and Kash Patel know it.
	And don't be surprised.
	But in any event, I don't think we would have gotten there without Kennedy.
	The book is simply brilliant.
	And a bunch of things I disagree with him on.
	But I really do think we need somebody who can take on the pharmaceutical industry.
	That may not be quite as crooked as the military-industrial complex, but it's sure getting there.
	And none of it is good for us and our health.
	There's a heck of a lot of excess money floating around so that bribes and kickbacks can be paid.
	Enormous amounts.
	It is true that it costs a lot to develop all of these very, very New medicines.
	And it also is true there's a tremendous amount of corruption that surrounds it.
	And somebody needs to take a really good look at reestablishing the pharmaceutical industry for the good of the people.
	And he sure is dedicated to that.
	And yep, some of his health ideas go beyond.
	Things that I agree with.
	And some of them I agree with, I just can't do them.
	Like, I'm not giving up hamburgers.
	I'm sorry.
	I probably should.
	You know, when I smoke cigars, I never encourage other people to do it.
	But I really enjoy them.
	I occasionally enjoy one now, but not the way I used to.
	So, I think this will be a very, very positive...
	In addition to the administration, and I think any of the fears that the New York Post developed here of his going off and being a crazy left-wing activist, that's not going to happen in the Trump administration.
	Just not going to happen.
	And I will tell you this, he is not an unrealistic guy.
	Also, I think over a period of time, his ideas have developed.
	Take a look at his book.
	I'll get it out tomorrow and I'll refer you to the chapters about communism and about communism during the Roosevelt administration.
	It's a whole other side to Robert Kennedy based on a real understanding of what his father started as, which was an investigator of communist infiltration in the Roosevelt and Truman administrations.
	You have to have other opinions in your administration.
	When I became mayor of New York, because I ran a city of five Democrats to every one Republican, I got elected with Democrat votes.
	I had a conservative Republican deputy mayor.
	I had a Republican that you would now describe as a rhino.
	I had a Democrat, and I had a member of the Liberal Party.
	And they didn't agree, and they didn't agree with me.
	But I made the decisions.
	And when they recommended something that I thought was too left-wing, well, it was like Lincoln.
	I had the one vote.
	Remember that story about Lincoln?
	The cabinet votes 12-0, and then Lincoln does the opposite.
	One of his brilliant, like Seward, says, I thought we were a democracy.
	He said, we are a democracy.
	And I have the only vote.
	I think that's true of Trump, too.
	So it's really interesting, Ted, with all the debate over TikTok.
	Is TikTok operating now or not operating?
	Since I never use it, I don't know.
	I believe it's still operating.
	The president put a hold on any total ban.
	There's some...
	Well, I'm not an expert, nor can I make a judgment on, you know, if they're more inappropriate or more dangerous in terms of their content than the other social networks.
	I do have a very strong view that China uses them to spy on us.
	And I really do think this is an area where the president's wrong.
	But here's the interesting thing.
	So they must be operating.
	All these government workers who have now been required to work are complaining on TikTok.
	Like a bunch of crybabies.
	Described as petulant government workers are being mocked online by others because they are so upset that President Trump has ordered them back to work.
	And they have to work for 10. These people have to work for five days.
	A week!
	One of them saying, I'm upset.
	Another one saying they're broken up about it.
	Another one saying it's effed up.
	It happened.
	I had to go in for five days a week this week.
	What a day to end a week.
	Five o'clock on a Friday.
	Got our notice.
	Effective March 1st.
	We're back in the office.
	Five days a week.
	No telework.
	And that's the most effed up part of it.
	I'm so upset.
	I'm so mad.
	Like, this effing sucks.
	This sucks!
	And the crazy thing is, we've only just begun!
	We're just getting to work!
	This is really effed up!
	We're having a breakdown of having to go to work.
	Maybe they'll have such serious breakdowns, they'll never go back to work, and we'll be rid of them.
	Effective March 10th, we're back in the office.
	Has he ever established that large government office in Antarctica where they can do substantial research on ICE? You have to keep them, you know?
	I hate wasting money on them, but I don't mind wasting money on them if they don't.
	You have somebody there.
	Who is that?
	Is that one of them?
	Oh, let's hear her complain.
	This would be very, very interesting.
	I mean, I sympathize.
	I am so mad.
	Like I do with Selena Gomez.
	I am so upset.
	I am so mad.
	And honestly, I also feel for the parents.
	They're going to need to figure out childcare.
	They're going to have to commute.
	So many people don't live in D.C. and have to drive so far every single day.
	She's crying.
	This sucks.
	Oh yeah, this sucks.
	We've only just begun.
	Oh yeah.
	We're just getting started on all of this buckery.
	See, I was telling the truth.
	She was actually saying all that stuff.
	It's just begun.
	What does that mean?
	It's just begun.
	I mean, she has to go to work every week.
	You know, President Trump and the change of culture in the federal government.
	She's saying this has just begun.
	They have to be loyal to the United States.
	Meaning what else is coming?
	Yeah, what the hell?
	I mean, they could be accountable at work for once.
	They could not work, and then they could leak and double-cross and undermine.
	Good.
	So, right here, about two miles away, there's a place called Big Mama's House of Sweets.
	So the guy who owns Big Mama's House of Sweets, otherwise, he's Big Mama.
	But his real name, or her real name, or whatever it is, is Shannon DeParo Atkins.
	Now, Shannon DeParo Atkins is described as a comedy drag queen who counts among her closest friend, Casey Anthony.
	Well, he threatened to kill Trump, and he's been arrested.
	He's a 46-year-old bakery owner, and when he was arrested for threatening to kill Trump, see, they arrest people now for doing that.
	They didn't use it.
	For example, John Sullivan, who did the very suspicious video that ends up with the killing of Ashley Babbitt.
	Had threatened to remove Trump physically and violently several times on Twitter and was never arrested by anyone for threatening the president.
	And then encouraged lots of Antifa people to come to Washington and to participate in January 6th.
	And then stood outside, stood at the Black Lives Matter Plaza and encouraged people to...
	To break into the Capitol the next day and then led them into the Capitol with a video showing that he broke in a window.
	And it ends very, very suspiciously where him knowing exactly where to put his camera to capture the gun that killed Ashley Babbitt.
	We'll review that one night with Kara Castronova, who's an expert on all things J6. But I want you to retain one thing in your head, because you probably remember the video.
	When Detective Byrd shot her, his claim would have to be, I was afraid she was going to kill me.
	But much closer to him were two men.
	Who are breaking down the door, one with a pole and the other with a helmet.
	She was furthest from him.
	She was a little girl.
	I mean, she was 5'2", a little woman.
	She was 5'2".
	One of them was an Antifa member and the other, we think, is an Antifa member.
	Never identified.
	Those are the people you would have shot if you were going to shoot in confusion.
	Probably he would have shot them unjustifiably.
	Had he shot them.
	But at least they had a weapon in their hands of some kind.
	She had nothing in her hands.
	By the way, the standard would be, did he have a reasonable belief that his life was in jeopardy?
	Now, he didn't have a reasonable belief that his life was in jeopardy because even the two men, he had six cops on his side of the divider, and there were eight cops on the other side with machine guns.
	So you tell me how Ashley Babbitt threatened his life.
	They were trying to come in by breaking down the door, standing up.
	She was going to come in either on her backside or on her face, which would have made it easy for a 12-year-old to handcuff her.
	She was killed without the slightest justification and covered up by the criminals on the J6 committee.
	And by the criminal district attorney who went on to prosecute 1,000 of the J6 people, our criminal attorney general, who went ahead and did 1,000 because Biden criticized him for not doing enough.
	So then he tried to prosecute everybody in Washington that day because he was getting criticized by Biden for not ending up with numbers that made it sound like the worst.
	Crime in the history of America.
	Do you realize what a travesty that is?
	Criticizing Trump for pardoning them?
	Even the ones who might have done some violence to the police?
	You don't go to jail for the rest of your life for violence to the police.
	Further, in New York, you don't go to jail at all.
	And in Soros DA cities, Basically, you've got to kill a cop to get treated at all like a criminal, and then you eventually get let out anyway.
	New York in the last five years has let out of jail 29 cop killers.
	Killers!
	They say 155 cops were injured on January 6th.
	I've yet to see pictures of an ambulance.
	Going in and out of the Capitol that day.
	There were some.
	But there sure as hell weren't 155. I haven't seen a single fire set.
	And every one of the 2020 riots was accompanied by anywhere from fire to major fires.
	Oh, by the way, in the summer of 2024, with the university...
	Protests in favor of one of the most vicious terrorist groups in the world, Hamas.
	There were fires in most cases.
	Do you remember a fire at the Capitol?
	I don't.
	Exactly what damage did they do?
	Oh, some guy put his feet up on Nancy Pelosi's desk.
	I guess they were afraid that some of the insider trading stock would fall out by him banging the desk.
	And then the Charmin guy who the police held the door for so he could get into the chamber, he didn't do anything.
	We have the whole tape.
	He didn't do anything.
	The constable laughing at him.
	Well, he did 14 months in jail.
	Well...
	There's got to be a complete and absolute investigation of that, and it all has to be spelled out in detail.
	And if people need to be prosecuted, they better be prosecuted.
	Because otherwise, if they ever get back into power again, they're going to do the same damn thing.
	And this is worse than the internment of the Japanese during World War II. Absolutely.
	At least in World War II, you could see the reason for the confusion.
	Maybe you don't justify it in retrospect, but you can understand why people would be even unreasonably scared.
	We'll be right back, and we'll take a look at what happens to you if you're one of these Democrats and you say something nice about Trump.
	Okay?
	We'll be right back.

	Well, before I was telling you that it's still, with all the changes which I think are going in the right direction, there's still the possibility of having to pay a price for supporting Trump.
	So that is a picture of Snoop Dogg.
	I was asked by Stephen if I'd play one of his songs, and I said, God forbid.
	But in any event, I guess he entertained at some party for Trump on January 17th.
	Crypto ball.
	Okay.
	And I don't know if he was paid or not, but he lost 500,000 followers on Instagram, and he lost 20,000 on X, which, however, don't feel too bad for him.
	He has 88. I think it says he has 88.1 million followers.
	So what percentage of that is 550?
	Nothing.
	But still, it's ridiculous that he lost 550,000 because he entertained for the president.
	And they are accusing him of having taken money from the Trump campaign.
	But there's no indication that he got paid for it.
	So I can't tell you.
	Now, Kim Kardashian, who put out a...
	They say an image of the first lady, Melania Trump, wearing what she described as a very stylish outfit at the inauguration.
	So she was complimentary.
	She was complimentary of Melania's outfit.
	She lost 150,000 followers.
	I mean, I don't think she supported the president.
	Although, wasn't she instrumental in having the president pass the law that relieved some of the harshness of the 1994 crime bill?
	That's right.
	She was there and present for the signing.
	And she was married to that unfortunate nutjob, right?
	That's right.
	The one that the president had lunch with and got in trouble for having lunch with him because he's supposedly anti-Semitic.
	He doesn't know what the hell he is.
	Yeah.
	I mean, the guy is obviously there's something wrong with him.
	Kanye.
	Kanye.
	Kanye West.
	Yeah.
	No, I'm not going to play any of his music.
	And Kim Kardashian.
	He is considered a very...
	He is considered a really great, really, songwriter, I will say.
	Oh, yeah.
	I know all his songs.
	I know all his songs.
	I can't name one, but...
	Yeah.
	That doesn't mean anything.
	He's so great.
	Can't even...
	Kanye.
	Kanye.
	Kanye West.
	Ye now.
	His name is now Ye.
	He got rid of the K-A-N and just left the Y and the E. Well, there are, in this phase of the ceasefire, 28 hostages have been promised.
	And eight of, or there are 28 left that have to be delivered.
	Eight of them are dead.
	And the animals that constitute Hamas, and to some extent, the rest of the Palestinians already, will not disclose who the dead ones are.
	Now, that's got to be torture, right?
	Just assume you're the parents of one of those 28. You've got to be worried from the beginning, are they still alive unless you've heard from them?
	And by and large, nobody's heard from them.
	Except the ones that they've exploited.
	Which, by the way, is an international crime.
	It's a war crime.
	Netanyahu and his defense minister have been indicted for absolutely bogus war crimes.
	These people actually commit them in the wide open.
	Using civilians to protect you is a war crime.
	That's all they do.
	But now, we're participating in an agreement in which they are committing war crimes and executing the agreement.
	I have no idea what we're doing trading hostages.
	I mean, I don't get it, and it's the one criticism I have of the Israeli government as well.
	I really think they do more harm than good.
	When they give up 5,000 prisoners for one Israeli, I mean, I don't want to see anybody die, but the calculation there is you're getting a lot more people killed.
	That certainly happened with the one that led Sinoir out, right?
	And now, nobody's really covering how many Palestinian murderers are being let out.
	They're all going to be available for the next round.
	God willing, they're going to save some lives.
	But we don't know how many are really alive.
	We know of the Americans, there are more dead than alive.
	So there are seven Americans left, four are dead, and three are alive.
	And why we're waiting for them to decide when to release the Americans completely baffles me.
	Now, I know it was Biden's agreement.
	But I'd really like to see Trump say, I want him tomorrow.
	And if I don't have him tomorrow, there ain't going to be no more Gaza.
	It'll be a thing of the past, but people will remember it for the Philistines who were there, not you, animals.
	I bet they get delivered just as quickly as the president of Colombia sent.
	The presidential plane to get the hostages after denying entry for the United States.
	Actually, I think they ended up sending two plane loads instead of just one.
	That's what you got to do when you're dealing with bullies and animals and criminals.
	You got to be tough.
	Otherwise, they're going to take advantage of you.
	And I think this whole situation is completely crazy.
	Negotiating over hostages?
	I mean, when it was done in the past, it was done secretly, and they lied about it because you don't want to acknowledge it.
	And there was some actual wisdom to doing that.
	There's a family.
	Let me see if I can find their picture here.
	This is the family.
	What a nice family, huh?
	That's Shiri and Yarden Bibas.
	It's from the Post.
	The two kids are Shiri and Yarden, and it's the Beavis family.
	They're Israeli.
	Those two children were taken by the animals when the attack took place.
	So they've been gone all this time.
	There have been reports that they were dead, and there have been reports that they're alive just to torture that family.
	And we're going to find out, apparently, in these 28, whether they're alive.
	Because either those children are going to be, who are now considerably older, right?
	They've grown up in captivity, being held by animals.
	Who knows what's happened to them if they're alive.
	So now the family will find out, finally, if those two children are alive or dead.
	And there have been conflicting reports.
	That's torture.
	And that's who our students all over America and the professors who teach them, that's the group they support, the group that took those two children.
	Sick?
	Yep.
	Are we going to change it?
	Yep.
	So here's a picture.
	Let me see if I can find it here.
	There's a...
	That's just a picture of the Palestinians returning to southern Gaza, where they had been, you know, moved out so we could wipe out, so the Israelis could wipe out, God forbid us, I mean, we were against it.
	They could wipe out Hamas.
	How many members of Hamas do you think are in there?
	Every one of them that you see there who was brought up in Palestine, every one of them that you see there was taught to kill Jews and Americans.
	They were brainwashed to want to do it, and they were often trained in how to do it.
	And we want to make them into a state.
	Look how many there are.
	I don't know if the president slipped or he did it on purpose, but he basically said he wants to see them all moved out of Gaza.
	He wants to see all the Palestinians moved out of Gaza.
	Well, of course, they could go back to the countries they came from because there is no Palestinian nationality.
	Yasser Arafat was an Egyptian.
	He actually used to make fun of the Palestinian nationality, sort of like I made it up.
	That's a large number.
	There's another picture of it, okay?
	So if you need to know about them, you don't have to do an awful lot of analysis.
	All you need to know is they basically come from Egypt, particularly the Hamas types, because they're closely related to the Muslim Brotherhood, or they come from Jordan.
	Neither place will take a single one of them.
	The king of Jordan, particularly, his wife is Palestinian.
	Have Palestinian.
	He won't take a Palestinian.
	And our idiots, including some Republicans, you know, are worried about, and we should take them or find places for them.
	Well, one of the places you can find is Jordan.
	The other place is Egypt, which is the places they came from.
	So they're not a problem.
	You're going to make them into a state so we have another terrorist state?
	I don't think so.
	And I don't think we're headed in that direction.
	And at some point, this agreement is going to blow up.
	And the sooner the better.
	I just think it's intolerable that they don't have to disclose who's alive and who's dead at this point.
	And the Israeli parents have to wait until the next six are delivered, or the next five, or the next three.
	Let's hope that changes really, really quick.
	When we come back, we're going to talk about the situation with Colombia, where we attempted to return illegal aliens, probably mostly criminals, to Colombia.
	And the very tough, strong president of Colombia, former terrorist and communist, And President Communist Gustavo Petro, no, we're not going to take them back.
	We're going to take them back.
	And then for some reason, he actually sent the presidential plane to take them plus double the number back.
	They always said that Trump couldn't do that.
	He's been doing it like every day.
	So we'll be back after we try to sell you something, okay?
	All right.

	He's remembered by loved ones as courageous, brilliant, and devoted to his career, family, and friends.

	Ted!
	So what are we up to, Ted?
	That's right.
	We're going to talk about Colombia.
	Show them the retired terrorist, or should we say a terrorist has never retired, Gustavo Petro, who is the first left-wing president of Columbia in modern history.
	And he's doing a great job of ruining it.
	There he is.
	That's him.
	He was the one that wanted to stand up to Trump and ended up kissing his ass.
	Right.
	Which is what they all do.
	These left-wing dictators and monsters.
	That's right, Mayor.
	And we are joined for this discussion by a good friend of the show, businessman, writer, Mr. Steve Heck.
	Steve, we'll put this right near you so that we can hear you.
	These microphones are great, but they're very sensitive.
	You have to talk right into them.
	So this was an interesting test, right?
	Everyone wanted to know, how is Trump going to return all these criminals to the place they came from?
	And Mexico first rejected a flight.
	And then said, oh, gee, it was a mistake.
	And now they've taken five.
	And then this guy, this terrorist, communist, rejected the flight.
	And Trump said, I don't know if he said, I don't know what kind of tariff he was going to put on 100 percent or stop trading with them completely.
	And within seconds, he turned around and sent his plane up there to get the people.
	What is going on in Colombia?
	Colombia is a country I worked in a lot, and they really had made a lot of progress with the FARC, pretty much got rid of them, with the drug dealers, and with the terrorists.
	And then all of a sudden, they end up electing this bum, and the country's economy has fallen apart.
	Well, Petro, former communist guerrilla, Aligned with Maduro, of course.
	Right.
	And he's not known in Colombia for being very bright.
	I mean, I know people down there, and that's basically the commentary.
	Now, you mentioned the FARC. Alvaro Uribe, former president.
	Oh, great man.
	Pretty much wiped out the FARC. And I hate to say it, but the person who saved him, saved the FARC, Barack Obama.
	He brought them back.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	Yeah.
	Brought them back, and they hung on, and now they're getting stronger and stronger again.
	Of course.
	Yeah.
	And guess who's behind them?
	United States State Department.
	Right.
	Which means we've got to change.
	Those are the people, remember I said there should be a place in Antarctica where they can all study?
	I do.
	I remember that.
	They should all be sent there.
	I had a great time talking to you about that.
	Yeah, and then they could write all kinds of stuff that we could reject.
	And then we could have real people who represent America.
	And no communications.
	Yeah.
	Let them hang out in Antarctica, and we'll check on them in a few years.
	Absolutely.
	Absolutely.
	And we're going to have to save on energy up there.
	It can't be too much heat.
	We'll give them some heat, but not too much.
	So now tell us about Guatemala.
	Well, Guatemala is going to be in the news, apparently.
	Marco Rubio's going there.
	I mean, there are news reports.
	The State Department hasn't made it official, and nobody knows exactly when he's going there.
	But supposedly, this week he's going to Panama and Guatemala and El Salvador and I think Dominican Republic.
	But those are from news reports.
	Those aren't...
	Yeah, it was reported he was going to go to Guatemala first.
	I don't know.
	I don't think he's there yet.
	No, no.
	And why would he—let's assume he has chosen that as a priority.
	Why would he do that?
	Well, I could give you a lot of reasons why he would do it, but I would be surprised if he understands it well enough to do what he needs to do to be consistent with the MAGA agenda, to do what President Trump wants done.
	So what do you think should be done?
	Oh, there's no question.
	They should investigate.
	What the State Department under Biden and Blinken did to install a fraudulent election.
	They ran a fraudulent election.
	They put in their puppet president.
	There's a statement that just came out today by Guatemalan Civic Association, Liga Pro Patria, and it said that the Biden regime policy was to flood the United States.
	With illegal drugs and migrants and that the reason for the fraud was to continue that policy because the previous government had been trying to cooperate with the United States on illegal immigration.
	And we didn't want to cooperate with them.
	That's correct.
	The past two governments in Guatemala have wanted to cooperate with the United States.
	On legal immigration.
	Now, this one, they'll pay lip service to it, but that's it.
	Nothing else.
	And they have somebody in Guatemala, the Attorney General, Consuelo Poros, who is actually faithful to her oath.
	Any country would be lucky to have that faithful, courageous of a prosecutor general.
	And she has been Investigating child trafficking.
	She's been cited for praise by even the Biden Justice Department, which they don't like.
	They don't mention her name because the State Department is after her.
	The State Department has, as the statement today from the Liga Propatria says, the State Department has been trying to unconstitutionally remove her from power.
	Together with Revelo, it's puppet president.
	And she basically wants to cooperate with us on, I guess, what's even a bigger problem than drugs, which is human trafficking.
	Yes.
	Child trafficking.
	Child trafficking is more profitable.
	Yeah, absolutely.
	It's a huge...
	Well, and we talked about it last time I was here, that there was a hearing in November.
	Two House Homeland Security subcommittees had a joint hearing, and one of the witnesses says the United States government is the largest child trafficking organization.
	Isn't that unbelievable?
	I mean, that is so shameful.
	It was never the case, but I mean, Biden has given us that too.
	Well, exactly.
	That comes from the whole...
	This agenda of flooding the country with illegals, which can be nothing other than purposeful.
	I mean, you can't make a mistake and have that happen.
	Yeah.
	Well, let's hope that Marco understands that the State Department, I mean, you just can't rely on them, and you've got to make changes.
	Yeah, well, you would hope so.
	Bring in your own people.
	This is entirely different from being a senator.
	Senators seek consensus.
	Yeah.
	And the Secretary of State is an administrator.
	And he's got a tough, tough, tough job because the State Department is probably the most corrupt part of our government.
	I would say it rivals the Justice Department.
	The Justice Department is awful.
	And so there's a huge challenge to, as they say, drain the swamp.
	Reform the federal bureaucracy.
	Instead of having it be a fourth branch of government, it should conform to its constitutional role, and the president is the boss of the executive branch.
	Yeah, and they should be carrying out his policy, not theirs.
	Exactly.
	They've been carrying out their own policy probably for the last 70, maybe 80 years.
	And what I haven't heard yet from the State Department, like I was reporting from the Justice Department, is...
	They're firing a lot of people.
	The Justice Department people are going crazy all over the internet that they're being fired.
	Right.
	I love it.
	Right.
	Me too.
	Exactly what they should be doing.
	The crazier they go, the better off we are.
	I haven't seen that in the State Department.
	Yeah, my information is that the State Department is apoplectic.
	They're afraid?
	Well, yeah, because...
	I volunteer to do it.
	I wanted to be Secretary of State in 2017. I love that.
	But really for the purpose of getting rid of them all.
	And then I offered the president in 2020, you know, before he was apparent he was going to be cheated out of it, that I would just come in and do that for him.
	I was very good at doing that in New York.
	I'd just fire all the bums.
	Or, as I said, move him to Antarctica.
	Unfortunately, well, this is not a bad idea.
	Unfortunately, you weren't Secretary of State because the United States would be much better off today had you been.
	Yeah, but several departments needed desperately.
	You picked two of them.
	Some aren't as bad, but those two are terrible, terrible examples.
	The Defense Department is another, and I think there's no doubt that Hakes is going to take an axe to them.
	Well, you know, this mess with Guatemala is a real test for Rubio.
	He could really do himself a lot of good, and the United States and the Trump administration a lot of good, or he can make...
	Big mistakes down there if he does the wrong thing.
	Let's hope.
	Yeah, let's hope.
	The one good sign was right at the very end, the Biden administration took Cuba off the terrorist list.
	Yeah.
	And the first thing Trump did is put him back on.
	Well, of course.
	For three days.
	Yeah.
	I mean, that's outrageous.
	Well, look at this guy, Petro.
	I mean, what was he?
	He was a terrorist.
	Yeah.
	And here's the problem that's happening.
	Petro, of course, that's pretty stupid to say, okay, I'm going to put tariffs on you.
	Right, right, right.
	Who cares?
	And I'm not letting your plane land.
	What an idiot.
	The real problem is that you look at the axis of evil, if you want to call it that, down there.
	You've got Maduro in Venezuela.
	Yes, too many.
	Yeah, Petro.
	You've got Lula.
	You've got Boric in Chile.
	You've got Castro in Honduras.
	You have all of these hardcore leftist criminal regimes.
	Well, all of them were...
	Protected, supported, some of them installed by the Biden regime, like Lula in Brazil.
	Yes, absolutely.
	That was a Biden State Department operation.
	And Brazil is a disaster now.
	Of course.
	And not only that.
	And they're dying to get Malai out of Argentina.
	Oh, yeah.
	He's a huge threat to them.
	If he's successful, he creates a model that really shows people.
	What you can do if you're practical.
	It's like what Trump wants to do in the United States.
	Trump and Malay are natural allies.
	They're doing everything they can to undermine them.
	The State Department was supporting all of them.
	Now, how do you put together, and this is what Trump needs to do, identify the people in all of these countries that...
	He should be working with, like, Abascal in Spain and Maria Fernanda Caval, the senator in Colombia.
	And, of course, Bolsonaro in Brazil.
	He knows Bolsonaro.
	Malay has already been up here plenty of times.
	At the inauguration.
	Yeah, exactly.
	So he knows who the people are.
	And what he's got to do is try to get these people together.
	The other side is completely together.
	They coordinate the globalists, coordinate...
	All over the world.
	The problem is that people believe in liberty.
	They each are looking at their own piece of the pie, and they're not coordinating as well as they should.
	And so right now, these countries, the dictators in Latin America are looking at, how do we resist Trump?
	What do we do?
	And so Trump needs to counter that.
	Well, guess what?
	If Rubio makes a mistake in Guatemala, And if he doesn't apply the law, if he doesn't know what happened, and people need to know, they should create a commission.
	And that commission, an American commission, it should study the State Department's role in Guatemala's 2023 election.
	And if it does that, and it's a really competent commission, not like the January 6th committee of Nancy Pelosi, right?
	A real commission studying that thing, informing the American public, and of course the Guamán public has an interest in it, what really happened in 2023?
	Then he can take corrective measures.
	And if he doesn't do that, the message to Petro and all these others is, hey, there's a hole in the Trump administration.
	So it's very delicate for him.
	And we can, on the surface, whenever we need to, cooperate and then do our dirty work.
	Yeah, very delicate for Rubio.
	The Guatemala situation is unbelievably complicated for him and full of danger if he doesn't have a complete handle on it.
	Now, I don't know how he would because...
	All of the people that used to work in the State Department, nobody who used to be there is going to tell them the truth.
	And a lot of those people have resigned, like Brian Nichols and Todd Robinson.
	They're gone.
	And those people need to be investigated by the Justice Department, by the congressional committees in the Senate and House.
	Well, I'm hoping that Marco's anti-communist background would mean that he understands.
	The problems of the State Department, because he certainly understands it with regard to Cuba from his own background and the speeches that he's given.
	So let's hope.
	Yes, I would certainly...
	And the president, I think, understands this.
	Well, I think it's pretty clear from all of the things that have been happening that, you know, the State Department was nervous.
	People were asked to resign.
	By the transition team before the inauguration.
	So it's very clear that Trump is controlling this.
	He's not waiting around for anybody.
	Well, every good president controls his own foreign policy.
	Yeah.
	The Secretary of State can be a plus or it doesn't matter.
	Well, under Pompeo, they undermine Trump all the time.
	Yeah.
	That's why he's not there.
	Yeah, that's right.
	And those people didn't want you there, I guarantee it.
	No, no, no, no.
	They sat on the report.
	Pompeo sat on the report about Biden for a year, promising me he was going to investigate it.
	So I'm not a big Pompeo fan.
	I don't blame them.
	Well, thank you very much.
	And we're going to come back and we'll have a short discussion of football and then we'll let people start thinking about tomorrow.
	Thank you, Steve.
	Steve's a regular viewer, and we love having him on in all things Central America.
	It's a great thing to look at, to see how it works out as a sign of what direction we're going to be going in.
	And we'll be right back after this short break.

	And as I said, we're going to discuss football.
	And where, as we lead up to the Super Bowl, Where everybody stands.
	So, Steve, we can get you into this, too.
	Our real football expert is Ted.
	So, Ted, tell us your analysis of both the Chiefs and the Bills.
	That's right.
	So, well, the Super Bowl will be between the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles.
	And the last time...
	Are we recapping last weekend or are we previewing?
	You can recap it.
	I mean...
	Well, we talked about two years ago, so it's the Eagles and Chiefs again for the second time in three years.
	The last time this happened, I was watching with Mayor Giuliani, President Trump, and Mr. Victor...
	Yes, he was at the time the former president, the 45th president.
	He was just beginning his campaign.
	I'm not even sure if he announced he was running yet.
	He hadn't announced yet, but he's quite clear that he was.
	And so we had a lot of fun watching that game with him.
	That was two years ago.
	Last year was the Chiefs and the 49ers.
	And this year, you went and watched last year with the president as well.
	I did not.
	Crazy that that was a year ago already.
	And now this year we have the Chiefs and Eagles once again.
	And I'm willing to bet that the Chiefs are actually the favorite, but let's see.
	Well, they have to be the favorite.
	Well, they will be the favorite because they've won the Super Bowl so often they're going to go in and the thought will be they're ready for it and the other team will have trouble adjusting to the normality of playing in a game like that.
	Right.
	So the Chiefs are favored by a point and a half.
	That's pretty tight.
	That's pretty tight, especially with the Eagles.
	That's pretty tight because you would pretty much grant them a point or two just for being the...
	Former champs.
	Right.
	And, of course, the Eagles have Saquon Barclay, who they got off of your team.
	So they're maybe the best runner in the game.
	Every time I see him run.
	And he's had maybe two of the best, you know, so his first two games ever in the playoffs.
	Well, how about running for a touchdown on the first play from scrimmage?
	60-something yards.
	Yeah, I mean, the first thing that they give him the ball, and actually, actually, the...
	The commanders.
	I can't even say that.
	The commanders.
	It's like a prophylactic, the commanders.
	Used to be the Redskins, by the way, who now wear burgundy rather than red.
	They won't even wear red now.
	Woke jackasses.
	So they look really good on the first series.
	They went right down the field, but...
	Tellingly, they had to settle for a field goal.
	Right.
	So now, the Eagles get the ball, and the first thing they do is give it to Shaquan Barkley, and the next thing he does is go to the end zone.
	Right.
	And we're showing that ball.
	That was the game.
	I'm telling you, that was the game.
	Yeah, this is the first play from scrimmage.
	Look at that.
	Look at that roll.
	Look at that.
	Look at that.
	And the Giants gave him up.
	Maybe the best runner.
	I would say he's the best runner in football.
	No doubt.
	And probably the best one this generation when he finishes.
	Assuming he stays healthy.
	Right.
	He's powerful as hell, too.
	Not a big guy, but I don't know if you saw a couple of the people that bounced off him.
	Right.
	He's very, very powerful, and he's faster than anyone.
	The other running back got, oh, in the third or fourth quarter, got a lead like that, and they ran him down.
	Right.
	I knew the minute he had a step on him that nobody was going to run him down.
	Right.
	I mean, he's both powerful and fast.
	And what did he score?
	Two touchdowns yesterday?
	Three.
	Three, yeah.
	So I think he's the difference between the two teams.
	And they used him really brilliantly after that because the play-action passing and running was superb.
	Right.
	And I knew they were going to do that.
	They set up to do that.
	That first run, I think, was intended to be a big game.
	I did too.
	So that psychologically, you just worry about Sequin Barkley.
	And you can't worry about Sequin Barkley and really, you know, cover the quarterback the way you want to.
	Right.
	Like you said, it just...
	I believe the same thing will happen with the Chiefs.
	I don't think the Chiefs are ready for him.
	Okay.
	I think they have a few more weapons on defense.
	A lot of experience, right?
	They've seen...
	The Chiefs have a lot of experience.
	I think the safe bet for the Chiefs.
	I think if I hadn't taken a good look at yesterday's game, which also demonstrates that Philadelphia's got one hell of a defense.
	Right.
	Right.
	They do.
	I'm not sure.
	I'm not sure that they've...
	Tell me a defense in the...
	That Kansas City has seen this year that is as good as Philadelphia.
	You'd have to really think of, yeah.
	In the AFC? I think the Bills have a solid defense.
	They do, but it's not the Eagles.
	Yeah.
	And they don't have a secondary.
	So, look, I think the Ravens, maybe?
	Ravens got a pretty tough defense.
	And Kelsey, I mean, what did he get, two passes?
	Right.
	I mean, they don't pass to him anymore because all he's doing is thinking about Taylor Swift.
	Yeah.
	So we'll get to see two more weeks of Taylor Swift.
	And counting the money.
	Right.
	So we'll see two more weeks.
	Is it true that Taylor Swift is going to kick in the next game?
	Yeah.
	She might be athletic enough.
	I can see her kicking a football.
	Better than she sings.
	Yes.
	You know I don't think.
	Yeah, I know you don't think.
	I think she's a noisemaker.
	I wish she didn't endorse Kamala Harris, but I can't say I hate Taylor Swift.
	I don't hate her.
	That's a strong word right here.
	I hate her.
	Yeah.
	I just think she's...
	Yeah.
	And she's my age.
	I've kind of grown up with her, right?
	She's kind of like my...
	Just another make-believe singer.
	Yeah.
	Who, you know, is basically making it on her legs.
	She's probably the biggest star of my generation, though, I would say.
	How is that?
	Based on what?
	I think you mentioned, you know, part of it is looks, unfortunately, you know, for better or for worse, right?
	I think looks, talent, to a degree.
	As far as I can tell, and I've been told this rather than...
	And good market.
	I don't want to pretend to be an expert.
	But aren't all the songs about her boyfriends who leave her?
	A lot of them are.
	Or she's leaving them.
	Or they're breaking up.
	Why does that happen?
	Huh.
	Right.
	You know, at some point, maybe the problem, and maybe she has a song that, you know, the problem is me.
	Well, maybe she's going to, maybe Kelsey's going to have to leave her or so she can get a new song.
	Eventually, they'll have to break up for the music.
	You're right.
	I mean, right.
	It's something, you know, the football player.
	The All-American girl, the All-American tight end.
	We had somebody with us watching the game yesterday that is convinced that they cheat for the Chiefs so they can get a better audience by having Taylor Swift to the Super Bowl.
	What do you think of that?
	There's some possibility with that.
	That would be at least a reason to cheat.
	I don't like when people try to claim they're cheating in favor of this team or that team.
	If they're cheating, it's maybe an individual who's been compromised.
	By money.
	And, you know, you never know where the money is, right?
	I mean, they're cheating for a monetary gain.
	They're not cheating on behalf of the Kansas City football team, right?
	Well, the gambling on football is there's a great motive to do it.
	Right.
	Now with gambling, you're right, Mayor.
	And I'll say I've gambled a lot less.
	I would imagine that this Super Bowl, given all the gambling outlets that exist now, it'll be the most money gambled on it.
	Right.
	Yes, that's probably a very...
	You know what I used to do as U.S. Attorney?
	Every Super Bowl?
	The day before?
	We raided all the gambling places.
	Because we could pick up a lot of money.
	It was massive.
	And the stupid idiots kept doing it.
	The FBI would do it.
	We'd get the help of the police.
	We raided every one of the gambling joints.
	And they're all stock, all money, ready for the game.
	And you'd pick up all this money.
	Every year they would do it.
	So what happens?
	Everyone loses their money from their bets?
	I don't know.
	I don't know what happens.
	They probably have a lot laundered and stashed away.
	For a rainy day.
	For those, for situations like that?
	Yeah.
	But you would literally find stashes of cash?
	Yeah, I mean, it was a tradition.
	I didn't, you know.
	I mean, the team, yeah.
	I really thought we had better things to spend our time on than gambling.
	But the FBI, they just love doing this.
	It's good for PR, too.
	They were ready for it, and they just had enough money around to keep the FBI happy.
	I don't know.
	But the real problem, you know what the real problem for law enforcement is on a Super Bowl Sunday?
	It's the worst day for domestic abuse in America.
	Wow.
	That's sad.
	More people beat the hell out of women on Super Bowl Sunday than any day of the year.
	They get drunk, and you can do all the speculating you want.
	Maybe we'll get an expert on the Super Bowl to explain it, but I didn't know that until I became U.S. attorney.
	It's the worst day of the year, by far.
	And the worst day of the year for people being burned, losing their eyesight, is the 4th of July.
	Because of the illegal, no, the illegal, that's the worst time for fire.
	House fires.
	House fires.
	Almost every Christmas season, when I was mayor, I'd say 6 of the 8, we lost firefighters during Christmas.
	From fires.
	Yeah, and you go back and you look at the history of New York City.
	It's a terrible time for firefighters.
	Very dangerous.
	But Super Bowl Sunday, for some reason, the men getting drunk, maybe?
	Yeah, it's got to be.
	That's what it is, drinking all day.
	And like you said, betting and betting money.
	The domestic violence, Stephen, is pretty much one way.
	There's a little.
	Every once in a while, you get a woman who beats up some silly little sissy.
	Who probably deserved it.
	Yeah.
	But basically, domestic violence is a male.
	Well, violent crime is a male issue, not a female issue.
	Murder is a male.
	92% of the murder is a male.
	92% of the population is not male.
	No, that's right.
	We've got to own that one as a male problem.
	Well, do we have to now?
	It's 2025. Oh, sure we do.
	Yeah, I mean, I'm not going to go looking for females for murder.
	If the males are doing it, that's...
	Yeah, I'm making a joke about, you know, we're not sure who's a man.
	That's what the left-wingers always used to say.
	Why is it that 70% of the people that are searched are black?
	Because they commit 75% of the murders, jerk.
	And why do you think we're looking for them?
	Because other black people call up and identify them as black.
	Like, that's one of the things that she used in looking for a suspect.
	So who identifies the black as the murderer?
	Black people.
	Since black people basically kill black people.
	They don't kill white people, very rarely.
	It's basically a black-on-black crime.
	And the selection is made by another black person, which is why most black people want more cops rather than less.
	When I would go to Harlem, after being excoriated for the number of police that I had by the left-wing city council, the people in Harlem...
	More angry at me than have enough.
	And I empathize with them and they were absolutely right.
	I didn't have enough and I went and got more.
	But if I listened to the politicians, I would have gotten rid of the entire police department, which after I left as mayor or after Bloomberg left, they did.
	New York City Police Department defunded by a billion dollars and it's never been made up.
	I had 41,000 policemen.
	They have 34,000 policemen.
	That's a big difference, a big defunding.
	And Adams has actually tried, but he's got a city council that's probably left of Columbia, right?
	I mean, they're unbelievably crazy.
	I mean, they passed a law, the New York City Council passed a law two years ago to allow non-citizens to vote.
	Even though the New York State Constitution makes citizenship a qualification to vote, they have no legal authority to do that.
	They just did it.
	And it still hasn't been decided by the crooked New York courts.
	They've entered an injunction.
	They can't figure it out because they're afraid, because the judges are controlled by the Democratic leaders, which is why you saw those two trials involving Trump that were a travesty.
	Right.
	So, we'll be back tomorrow night.
	We're going to get closer to Robert Kennedy's hearing and see what happens with that.
	We'll see the progress that's made because it's stunning the amount of progress that's made in turning this government around.
	I thought that order by the president de-woking the Defense Department was terrific.
	I hope to see more of them.
	Apropos what we've been talking about before, I'd like to see that done in the State Department.
	I don't see why not.
	I thought Rubio did make at least one good initial step when he said, it seems ridiculous that he'd have to say it, but only one flag should be up.
	And then they were confused about which one.
	So he said one flag.
	He didn't know that he had to say American.
	So in a lot of these places, they put up the country's flag.
	Because that's who they think they represent.
	But then he clarified it and they all had to put up American flags.
	I'm only kidding.
	That's a joke.
	Ha ha ha ha.
	Okay.
	Well, we had a great time tonight.
	We got to tell you lots of things that you don't hear anywhere else, which I always love to do.
	Who knows how many more they're going to be tomorrow.
	So tomorrow, you can get us at 7, right?
	You can always get us on X, but you're also on Lindell Speech, which is the new name for Frank Speech.
	Lindell TV. I know I keep saying Lindell Network.
	I don't know why.
	But it's Lindell TV, but you can also get us on X from 7 to 8.
	And then at 8, you can get us on our trusty American Mayor Live on X and just about every other social network except TikTok, the communist Chinese spies.
	We want it on TikTok.
	We want it gone.
	I'd like to see it taken over by non-communist Chinese loyal American owners, and then maybe we'd go on, right?
	But not going on that place.
	They're reporting everything to ByteDance and Red China.
	There's enough of that.
	They eventually infiltrated us in a way that is, I mean, brilliant from their point of view and scandalous and tragic for Morris as to how unaware we are or how easily we sell out our country.
	Scary.
	We'll be back tomorrow.
	Pray for the people in Israel.
	I don't know if they aren't reviving Hamas.
	You see those numbers going back.
	Some of them have to be terrorists.
	Pray for the people in Iran, because I really do think, particularly with the bombs that were given to Israel that Biden held back, those are all bunker buster bombs.
	I don't know what they're intended for.
	What do you think?
	And, of course, the people of Ukraine.
	Let's hope that comes to an end, because that's just useless, what's going on right now.
	And I really do think Trump can get a much better deal out of Putin than people think.
	Watch.
	Well, God bless America, and God bless all of you, and we'll see you tomorrow night.
	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.
