America's Mayor Live (608): President Trump on Ukraine's Zelenskyy—"A Dictator without Elections"
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
Hello, this is Rudy Giuliani and welcome to America's Mayor Live.
I know you usually see an American flag behind me.
I don't know if you can tell exactly what that is.
Ted and tell me it's Palm Beach at sundown.
However, It kind of looked to me like Pearl Harbor on the morning it was attacked.
Particularly, I see those things up there.
They look like airplanes coming in.
Probably from the movie...
Maybe From Here to Eternity.
There's a scene in From Here to Eternity about the attack.
That's a fictional account of the attack.
There's a lot of good movies about that.
Many, many good movies about it.
Well, should we put a commercial on?

Welcome back to America's Mayor Live, and excuse us for the difficulties.
We've had problems with Internet and other things, but I think everything should be okay now.
And as I was telling you, as that background there, as I look at it now, it really, really looks like the scene from here to eternity.
But in any event, I want to show you, if we could switch over to my favorite map.
Which turns out to be the map of Ukraine nowadays.
There's the way things stand right now.
I want you to see that.
I did show it on the other show, but just in case you weren't watching it, I think you've got to see that to understand what you're hearing in the news now about what the various positions are.
What are the deal points?
Every negotiation has deal points.
And a negotiation like this, they may not even agree on what the deal points are, but each side has deal points.
The big deal point for Ukraine is they wanted to be part of NATO. Not going to happen.
The big deal point for Russia would easily, easily have been...
To move on and take over, if not the rest of Ukraine, most of it, including Kharkiv, which you see, if you're looking at the map there, which you see right up here in the northern part of Ukraine, just 20 miles from Belgorod, and very, very close to what you see there at the very top, the Kursk Oblast.
Now, the Kursko blast was taken by Ukraine.
So Ukraine controls that part of Russia.
It's a little tiny part of Russia, but nobody's invaded Russia since Hitler.
Nobody's taken any part of Russia since Hitler.
So even if that is not a big deal, it is a big deal symbolically.
And also, even a bigger deal is the fact they weren't able to take Kharkiv, which I am extraordinarily happy because I worked in Kharkiv, I know the people there, and they fought, and many of them are ethnically Russian, but Putin turned them in 14 when he attacked them for no reason.
In 14, they would have surrendered to Putin.
And probably pretty close to a majority, really close as to whether a majority of the city would have preferred to be part of Russia than Ukraine.
But Putin made the mistake of treating them like, I mean, they started killing them.
And the mayor, Mayor Kearns, put together a terrific militia, I guess we would call it, and they beat the Russians.
They beat them out.
They beat them down.
And tragically, Mayor Kearns lost his legs.
Lost his ability to walk, lost his ability to function, was in a function in terms of the lower part of his body, and was in a wheelchair until his death about slightly before this all started.
So about almost two years now.
And I did a lot of work there, including security advice and work in helping to design an emergency management center.
And I know the quality of the people.
I know the quality of the people in Ukraine.
They are very, very terrific people, wonderful people.
With a government that's almost as terrible as they're wonderful.
I mean, their government is well-recognized.
Before all this started, always just would say the second most corrupt government in the world.
Now, maybe it's not the second.
Maybe it's the fifth.
Maybe it's the first.
I don't know.
I sure know you can't have much more corruption than they have in...
Ukraine, and there's absolutely nothing that Zelensky did to stop it.
If anything, he did things to spread it, like cover it up, like benefit from it.
He became a multimillionaire, billionaire, whatever the hell he is, through the crookedest man in Ukraine.
And has covered up dastardly horrible crimes at the highest level of our government, his government.
And, of course, he's remaining in power like he's a South American dictator.
Two years beyond his term of office being over.
Be like, you know, Biden hanging out there for two more years.
Or what they say, you know, Trump doing that.
But, of course, the Western elites make this little guy like he's some kind of hero.
Maybe a lot of them, you know.
Whack money around with them, I don't know.
So that's the part of Ukraine that basically they took again in 2020. I'm sorry, in 2023, when they came in in 2023. They actually took it, if you look closely at that map, you'll see they actually took most of that in 2014. So this war was really over about 2% more territory and a permanent presence there.
So the negotiation is going to be, does Ukraine want any of that?
I mean, Ukraine wants it all back.
But if it can't get it all back, does it want some of it back or are there other things that Ukraine wants?
I don't know.
I don't hear Ukraine talking about specific areas or specific pieces of territory.
I am surprised that Russia didn't take Odessa.
Maybe there's a reason for it.
I don't know.
But it would seem to me that Russia would have wanted to cut them off completely from the sea.
And they have left, you know, a fairly decent portion of the sea for them to access on the Black Sea there.
See?
Right there.
And it goes on, actually.
I was absolutely certain that once...
Remember the battle for Kyrsten lasted, oh my gosh, almost a year.
And Ukraine has held out for a long time in keeping this whole upper part of Kyrsten and blocking them from getting much beyond here.
Well, once they got here, they got their land bridge to Crimea, right?
And then they have a little bit extra.
And then there was a big battle for this.
This was the province of Kyrsten, but there was a big battle for the city of Kyrsten, which has gone back and forth a couple of times.
So I always wondered...
If he wanted to put some territories on the table for leverage, which are the ones that, knowing you can't get all 20% back, I'd say you can get 5% back.
Where's the 5%?
Somehow I think the negotiation for them is going to be more in the area of security, guarantees of security, presence of a peacekeeping force to make sure this doesn't...
This doesn't happen again at any time.
And I think there, the president, you can see, has already made some very, very strong moves to get Europe to start ponying up soldiers and forces that will help Ukraine keep the peace once there is a peace, which is enormously important.
So that's what I think a lot of the negotiations will be about.
What the guarantees are going to be, who's going to be there, how many.
I mean, Russia obviously is going to want the minimum number of European and American troops if we put American troops there.
And I would imagine Ukraine is going to want the maximum.
Now, what about keeping Zelensky out?
I don't know.
Probably there's nobody else you can get, but having Zelensky in is not much of a help.
The guy sold out his people forever.
Messing around with all these, covering up for all these crooks.
I mean, forget Ukraine.
I mean, forget Russia.
One of the biggest problems in Ukraine is the elites in Ukraine, the government and the oligarchs.
If Russia were to go, they wouldn't have much of a country because everything would be stolen.
It didn't stop under Zelensky.
It continued.
Zelensky is a product of it.
I mean, Europe can lie and bullshit and pretend, but I know it.
I know it.
It's there.
So, I mean, you're just pretending.
In all the years that I've been dealing with Ukraine, and I would venture to say in all the years that Ukraine has been free, they've had only one honest leader.
One.
For about a three-year period.
Poor guy.
Had almost been destroyed at the time that he was there.
And other than that, with that little interregnum, it's been as much their problem as Russia's.
I mean, they don't maintain a responsible government.
So it becomes a government where Russia can take advantage of them.
When the Russian-oriented president left, he left $800,000 in the bank.
I mean, it can be a rich country.
They walked off with about $50 billion in cash, all helped by Zelensky's rabbi, the guy who created Zelensky.
So stop this.
Trump knows what he's talking about.
He sure does.
He sure does.
So let's take a look.
Let's take a look, if we can, If we have it, the president today, maybe we'll start with him in Miami, if we have that.
Or do we want to start with him talking about Ukraine?
This was Miami just a few hours.
Yeah, about 5 o'clock, I think.
Maybe a little later than that.
So this is going to be an investor conference in Miami, Florida today, this afternoon.
And just some interesting words on American investing.
I come today with a simple message for business leaders from all across the nation and all around the world.
If you want to build the future, Push boundaries, unleash breakthroughs, transform industries, or make a fortune.
Because you want to make a fortune.
Most of you have already made a fortune.
I don't want to say that.
There's no better place on earth than the current and future United States of America under a certain president named Donald J. Trump.
I think that you're going to do very well.
Well, because that's his message, isn't it?
Even with Ukraine, I know the left-wing newspapers, even maybe the Post or the Wall Street Journal, ripped them apart for wanting to take reparations or fees or percentage of rare earth minerals or deals for rare earth minerals as part of...
The deal with Ukraine or maybe even the ongoing protection of Ukraine.
But in that was a very, very interesting proposal that because of their emotions and their inability to think rationally, because when they, a lot of people get on the subject of Trump, they lose the ability to think rationally.
In that was a very, very interesting proposal that they didn't bother to emphasize at all.
And that's why you listen to this program, because I'm going to tell you about it.
He proposed a sovereign wealth fund.
Now, we don't have a sovereign wealth fund, but some of the richest countries on earth have sovereign wealth funds.
And that's why there's some of the richest countries on earth.
And every, every, every big business, every gigantic business, every small business, everybody that wants to grow in business, everybody that has a great idea, they want to develop and be millionaires, billionaires.
Part of your process of getting investments, which used to be from banks and stuff, is to go to the sovereign wealth funds.
The one in Singapore was the first, established by Mr. Lee, who established Singapore.
And it's the prototype.
Obviously, there are sovereign wealth funds that are crooked.
There are sovereign wealth funds that are ridiculously terrible.
And there are sovereign wealth funds that...
In Singapore, if he invests in you, everybody else is going to invest in you.
It's the first...
It probably is no longer the biggest because the Gulf nations can really eclipse it in terms of ability to invest money.
But they will tell you, like in Dubai, And in the Emirates and even in Qatar, they'll tell you that Singapore was the model for their sovereign wealth fund.
And lots of countries are now developing it.
He wants to develop one here for the United States, which would be an interesting proposition because it would have sort of government quasi in business.
Don't know.
I'd have to think it out.
But he wants to do one jointly with Ukraine.
In other words, he wants to take the money, I guess, that we get and that they get, not all of it, but some portion of it and put it in a sovereign wealth fund and invest together.
If Ukraine doesn't jump at that and say yes, then they're both crooked and stupid.
Crooked because if you had a sovereign wealth fund, they wouldn't be able to do all the crap that they do.
Because sovereign wealth funds, unless you want to fall apart, are very heavily...
Audited it heavily.
And remember, again, nobody emphasizes this, but it's another reason why you can't trust Zelensky.
All the money that was given to him, Biden refused to attach provisions for audit.
We don't know what he did with it.
We don't know what Biden did with it.
He tells us he didn't get $100 million.
I find that astounding.
I also find it astounding that nobody reacts to it.
He didn't get $100 billion.
That's what the little guy said.
Was it true?
What happened to it?
He didn't get it.
Where'd it go?
Biden couldn't have taken all of it.
All those guys supporting you again?
Some of it?
I don't know.
I mean, don't tell me it all just disappeared in the American military industrial complex because that could be almost as bad as Ukraine.
I think that the president has astounded me with the constructive ideas that he's put forward both in the Middle East, how he pushed that discussion forward by saying we would take over Gaza. how he pushed that discussion forward by saying we would Now Saudi Arabia is involved, and Jordan is involved, and Egypt is involved.
And Egypt and Jordan have now said that they would rebuild Gaza.
You want to watch that because, I don't know, would they rebuild it as a sort of concentration camp for Palestinians who would turn out to be a terrible menace to Israel, not to them?
Remember, neither one of them have any great love for the Palestinians.
They're going to rebuild Gaza, but they don't allow Palestinians in their country.
So you got to look at that one a little.
But again, they weren't putting anything on the table until Trump shook them up.
And the same thing is true of Europe.
Both Trump and Vance shook them to the core.
Shook them to such a core that France is raising an army.
France is raising an army.
Zelensky's kind of turned on us.
He's now saying that Europe should have its own army basically to protect itself against America.
And I think you're going to see some real changes.
You're going to see some real support.
For some of the countries that are there with us, because you start counting countries, particularly when you start moving over east, we may have as many on our side as they do, as the Western Europeans do.
And we sure as well have the future on our side.
I mean, these countries, I mean, Germany's falling apart.
France is falling apart.
England may in fact be in the worst shape.
Now, it's hard to say which is in the worst shape in terms of...
Denial of human rights, England or Germany.
But the Islamic influence has been unbelievable in both places.
In England, they have literally prosecuted a man for what he was thinking.
They raided his house.
They found neo-Nazi literature.
And they said it was a toxic ideology.
And they prosecuted him for a toxic ideology.
It is Orwellian, beyond Orwellian, to think that the government might prosecute you for what you were thinking.
What do they do as a machine to figure out what's in your brain?
I mean, this is like Hitler-type things.
Prosecute you for what you're thinking.
They also have prosecuted people who oppose abortion, just for opposing it.
They've prosecuted people who oppose homosexuality.
Now, I don't.
Oppose homosexuality, and I think it's morally wrong to oppose it, or a matter of principle wrong, but you have a right to do it.
You've got a right to oppose me.
You've got a right to oppose Christianity.
You have a right to all kinds of things, except really, in the case of words, until the Biden communists came along, basically the feeling in this country was, You could say anything and that words could be combated with other words.
The Alvaland Holmes quote of, you know, you can't yell fire in a crowded theater, literally is over 100 years old and has been qualified by Supreme Court cases that have come pretty much to the conclusion maybe you can't.
As long as it doesn't, as long as you yourself.
Aren't immediately leading people into the violence or the chaos.
And why?
Because the theory of the First Amendment, which is at the core of the freedom that we enjoy and that we share with the world, is that you can say anything you want and that the answer to what you say is not putting you in jail.
The answer to what you say is a contrary answer that's better than yours.
And that's why we became the country that we became.
To the extent that that's been taken away by the Bidens and the Democrats, who now support under the guise of disinformation, hate speech, restrictions on speech, they have destroyed the core of constitutional America.
And I think the Supreme Court has reversed a lot of that and will reverse a lot of it.
But in Germany and in England, They are enthusiastically where our American communists were a year ago.
So let's, if we can, could we play the 60 Minutes piece where the 60 Minutes reporters, and you tell me if you don't think the 60 Minutes reporters agree with these Germans.
Now these are the Germans who are saying that the right-wing group that Vance met with are neo-Nazis.
Now, there's no evidence to suggest that they are.
They may have some in the party.
The guy, the guy, the person running it, I'll tell you about his background.
There's no way he's a neo-Nazi.
I mean, those charges could be just the same as, you know, where every Republican is a racist.
When they don't have anything to say.
Insult somebody in public.
Well, here we go.
Let's listen to this.
We have it teed up, so let's play it.
That's clear.
Is it a crime to insult somebody in public?
Yes.
Yes, it is.
And it's a crime to insult them online as well?
Yes.
The fine could be even higher if you insult someone in the Internet.
Why?
Because in the Internet, it stays there.
If we are talking face-to-face, you insult me, I insult you, okay, finish.
But in the Internet, if I insult you or a politician...
That sticks around forever.
If somebody posts something that's not true, and then somebody else reposts it or likes it, are they committing a crime?
In the case of reposting, it is a crime as well, because the reader can't distinguish whether you just invented this or just reposted it.
That's the same for us.
The punishment for breaking hate speech laws can include jail time for repeat offenders.
But in most cases, a judge levies a stiff fine and sometimes keeps their devices.
How do people react when you take their phones from them?
They are shocked.
It's 6.01 on a Tuesday morning, and we were with state police as they raided this apartment in northwest Germany.
Inside, six armed officers searched a suspect's home, then seized his laptop and cell phone.
Prosecutors say those electronics may have been used to commit a crime.
The crime?
Posting a racist cartoon online.
At the exact same time across Germany, more than 50 similar raids played out.
Pardon me.
50 raids for posting a cartoon?
Wow.
Wow.
That's Germany.
I don't want to get in a position where everybody yells up and down that I'm xenophobic.
You would think they'd be more careful.
Now, the stupid nitwit.
On CBS, otherwise known as the anchor of one of their news shows that I think CBS will be gone within a year, that will soon be gone, Margaret Brennan, probably said one of the dimwittest things I've ever heard.
I mean, if she were in my class, I would fail her and throw her out and tell her to go back to grammar school.
I'm going to tell you what she said before you hear it, if you haven't heard it.
She basically said that the Holocaust was caused by free speech, by the Nazis being able to say too much.
I don't know how to respond to that other than they should get rid of CBS and her.
She should go do something else, maybe, certainly not teach.
Maybe, well, whatever she wants.
Maybe she can play tennis for a living or something.
Or be a horse person.
Who knows?
Well, he was standing in a country where free speech was weaponized to conduct a genocide.
And he met with the head of a political party that has far-right views and some historic ties to extreme groups.
The context of that was changing the tone of it.
And you know that, that the censorship was specifically about the right.
I have to disagree with you.
Free speech was not used to conduct a genocide.
The genocide was conducted by an authoritarian Nazi regime that happened to also be genocidal because they hated Jews and they hated minorities and they hated those that they had a list of people they hated but primarily the Jews.
There was no free speech in Nazi Germany.
There was none.
There was also no opposition in Nazi Germany.
They were a sole and only party that governed that country.
So that's not an accurate reflection of history.
Well, he was standing in a country where free speech...
She just goes on and on to make a continued fool out of herself.
I don't know why she would ever be back on television again.
That isn't even politically charged.
It's just stupid.
I mean, it's an absolute failure to know some of the basic things that you would learn from high school history.
You don't have to be a college graduate or even if you were a fairly well-read person.
So when Hitler took over, not only did he prohibit free speech, it's the first thing he did, Margaret.
The first thing he did was prohibit free speech with laws and serious jail penalties and death.
If you did things like they're trying to do now, if you said things that the Nazi regime determined was untrue, then they...
Jail you or kill you.
So lucky we had the lesson of the pandemic because we found out that this thing about untrue disinformation and hate speech can be in the eye of the dictator.
So if you say that the dictator is a terrible murderer, that's untrue.
As far as the government is concerned.
It may be absolutely true, but it's untrue as far as the government is concerned.
And therefore, you can be jailed and executed for telling the truth.
Got it?
This is what they're trying to do to us.
So when I said, for example, that I wasn't going to take the vaccine because I had COVID, I had strong antibodies, And I had natural immunity.
And my doctors agreed with this, by the way.
But even without my doctors, my own common sense, which I follow, as you know, throughout my life, got me through.
My own common sense tells me, you're not going to tell me that some synthetically produced vaccine, which this was, is better than natural immunity that's been around for when God created us.
I mean, you're just not going to tell me that.
I just won't believe you.
I'm sorry.
And I have a right to make that decision for myself.
And if I'm wrong, I die.
You don't die.
That's what America's about.
Except when it's governed by people who were trained as Marxists.
Please understand that the Democratic Party is extraordinarily dangerous.
The people running it are very dangerous people.
They are either knowingly or unwittingly Leading us to a dictatorship.
When they can determine...
Remember he wanted to appoint a minister of truth?
Biden did?
This guy was going to do what these people...
They're going after these other political parties and saying that they're neo-Nazis.
Now, what I can tell from my reading about...
The party in question, AFD, is that it has some members that the left wing believes are neo-Nazis.
Well, I don't know how that distinguishes from the Republican Party where they think they call me Hitler.
30 years ago.
Of course, I supported Ronald Reagan, who they described as Hitler.
Nazi.
So I don't know if their charges are...
This is a common thing that communists do.
But I do know they're acting...
They're the ones acting like Nazis.
If you raid somebody's house because they're putting out racist cartoons and put them in jail for that, You have no idea what freedom is about.
You're an enemy of freedom.
Not that anybody who's racist is a good person, but the whole critical nature of free speech is it only exists if you can support the rights of people to speak that you totally disagree with and are confident that you can rebut them in the marketplace of ideas because you have an open Marketplace of ideas.
Now, that's how America has existed for most of its glorious history, except for the Biden regime and to some extent before that.
I do think we have separated a lot of the social media from that.
I don't think we've separated the networks.
You can see Brennan and you can see the idiocy on 60 Minutes, both on CBS, by the way, so maybe CBS is the worst.
I don't know.
But in any event, this is a very, very dangerous period of time for those of us who believe that at the core of our liberty is free speech.
And if that goes, everything else will go.
Remember, contrary to the person who would mislead you either out of ignorance or ideology, the Nazis did not bring about the genocide and the Holocaust through free speech.
They banned free speech.
Actually, they brought it about by banning free speech, so they couldn't be criticized, and therefore they gained more and more and more and more and more power and became more and more and more paranoid, pathologically paranoid.
Now, I am absolutely convinced, and have been for some time, That we should do away with the civil service in the federal government.
First of all, they all have unions.
So you shouldn't have unions and the civil service.
Secondly, I think the civil service was a great idea when it protected us against crooked politicians and the boss tweeds and the whole thing that happened there.
However, when you look at the structure of the federal government now, we are A one-party country like the Soviet Union was, like Russia is, and like China is.
And it's not just when Biden is in office, it's even when there's a Republican president.
I want to show you, see if I can find these statistics that make the point better than I can.
But the point is that these agencies...
Are overwhelmed with Democrats and have a very, very small number of Republicans.
So here, if you look at the board, are the numbers, okay?
So just take a quick look.
You don't need to memorize it.
But in the last column, net political advantage, you can see that go from the bottom.
So energy and veterans affairs seem pretty balanced, plus 3% Dem.
Okay?
And now you get the homeless security, you've got already 10% disparity.
That starts to be concerning, right?
But then, from then on, it's just a...
A disaster.
I mean, we might as well be a dictatorship.
Housing development, 72% Democrat, 15% Republican.
State, 74% Democrat, 18% Republican.
I mean, you've got to hide if you're a Republican in those places.
I mean, you don't get down to below 50% until the last three.
Look at that.
You don't get down to below 50% Democrat until you get the Homeland Security, Veterans Affairs, and Energy.
Above 60% Health and Human Services, the Justice Department.
No wonder they prosecute Republicans for crimes that they didn't commit and crimes that they make up.
And no wonder they're lying like hell right now with Adams, which we'll get to in a minute.
Education, of course, the Communist Teachers Union controls.
There, that 68% might even be Democrats.
They're probably communists.
Labor?
Transportation?
Commerce?
What the hell do the Democrats know about commerce?
Treasury?
They don't know a damn thing about money.
Every state they run is in debt, falling apart.
And justice?
Every state, every city they run is setting records for homicide.
So...
Doesn't this argue for, as everything that goes around comes around, doesn't this argue for, we should go back to a modified form of the spoil system, to the victor goes to spoils.
When a Republican comes in, clean out all these cesspools and bring in Republicans.
Give them a chance.
And when the Democrats come in, they can go find their communists and put them back.
Hopefully, the Democrat Party will go away, largely because nobody wants to be a member of a party that...
Helped to create and defend to the point of the worst war in our history, slavery, and then continued it through segregation.
And Jim Crow, who wants to belong to a party like that?
Nobody decent.
So make up a new party.
Get rid of all those communist types and the types who like to be part of a party that's a party of slavery and invented a new form of slavery now in urban America.
And then come and contest on an equal playing field.
And then, you know, a healthy democracy would be about pretty equal there.
About pretty equal.
That's not accidental.
That's not accidental.
I'm telling you, the education department is completely controlled by the Communist Teachers Union.
That's why it got that way.
And your kids walking around thinking they're little Marxists.
It was planned by Karl Marx over 150 years ago, carried out by Randy Weingarten and all the little apparatchiks that they control.
And having a two-year close-down of schools and remote schools rather than the six months that was really necessary has destroyed American education broadly.
Hasn't destroyed it for private schools.
Hasn't destroyed it for parobial schools.
Hasn't destroyed it for schools not dominated by the communist teachers who were able to open on time.
But it has for the kids that lost that whole extra year.
Very hard to make up a year.
Very, very hard.
When things weren't going well anyway.
Scores were coming down.
And in the places that have the communist teachers' union, Well, kids don't matter at all.
Kids are the property of the state.
You use them the way you want to.
And they'd also, I think, deep down, like us to be weak as hell so that China can take us over.
Don't forget the influence that China has on our educational system is vast, particularly at the higher levels.
But China's influence in this country is much greater than you would ever believe.
Much greater than Russia ever achieved.
It's probably our by far biggest long-term problem.
So they dominate the bureaucracy.
So when you have a Democrat president, it's a Democrat government.
And when you have a Republican...
President, it's a Republican government.
And the only way you're going to be able to deal with it is if you've got a guy with the extraordinary courage and confidence and willingness to be pilloried of Donald Trump.
He's got to basically have his policies work with people who want to undermine him constantly.
It accounts for the impeachments and it accounts for That guy who came forward as the whistleblower on the ridiculous Ukrainian charge, Chiarella, who, swifty swift to this day, has committed perjure about, lied about.
So, when they took a study, okay, An institute, I don't know, but it was mentioned today in the journal, I think.
An institute called the Neapolitan Institute in January took a survey.
46% of federal managers are willing to ignore the president's orders.
Not because those orders are illegal, but simply because they don't agree with them.
Get rid of them!
Gone.
Out!
Out!
You don't listen?
I mean...
Get him out of here.
Our founding fathers would completely be standing up cheering if they heard me say that the executive is solely and singularly the President of the United States.
There's one executive.
They actually debated and rejected the idea of a council of two or three.
And do you know that when they propagated the Constitution, argued and debated it, that wasn't the rule in America.
Most American colonies had two, three people counsel, four, five.
They even exist in certain states like New Hampshire, where the governor is a governor, but less powerful than, let's say, the governor of New York or Florida or...
Of course, there's a council.
Actually, Florida has a council, too.
Every state but New York and New Jersey of the 13 original colonies had a multiple executive.
And Hamilton thought it would be a disaster if we did.
And he brilliantly argued in the Federalist Papers, 70 to 75, about the structure of our executive, which the Democrats and their judges are trying to destroy right now.
And they're not reading 70 to 75, but they all think they're smarter than Hamilton.
And what he said was, England can have a Privy Council because it has a singular leader, the king.
We don't have a king, and we don't want one.
But we want a popularly elected, strong executive.
And you cannot be a strong executive.
If you're going to be debating it with the other executive, every example of that, including in Rome, where they had pro-councils, disasters, absolute disasters.
So we have an extraordinarily strong bias built into our Constitution, which is part of our legislative history or constitutional history that governs the interpretation of what they mean when they write.
That they were very much afraid of a tripartite executive or executive shared with Congress or executive shared with the judiciary.
So where a power is purely executive, it exists only with the president.
And what they're trying to do now in holding him up, Congress has no right to do that.
They have a right to, in an orderly way, advise and consent.
They can shoot people down.
They can put people up.
They can't just deliberately do what that traitor to his own people, Schumer, is doing, which is trying to hold up all of the inferior appointments.
I shouldn't say inferior appointments, but they actually call them inferior offices in the Constitution.
All inferior offices are exercising the power of the president.
So when you look at these cases, Let's take, for example, the guy that they're trying to get rid of.
What's his name?
I've forgotten his name.
Dellinger.
Strange name, right?
So Dellinger has an appointment as a special prosecutor that's different than Crooked Smith did.
His appointment, which allows him to prosecute certain types of corruption, It's accompanied with a five-year term, and you must lay out reasons for the removal.
And in that, you find the constitutional argument and problem.
So the Supreme Court upheld such provisions way back in the 30s.
But recently, including in 2020, they said, well, it's unconstitutional.
If it involves one office and they reversed or they upheld a Trump firing of a person that was appointed with those criteria because they said that Congress had no right to hold up a presidential firing.
And they distinguish the old case called Humphrey's executive by saying, well, in that case, they were talking about an entire body, an entire council.
Here they're talking about just one person.
Well, here with this guy Dillinger, we're talking about one person.
So it seems to me that the judges who are stopping and holding up the president are dishonestly interpreting the law under any fair understanding of Of the law and what the Supreme Court has written, despite your ideology.
But what's new?
I don't know on that Democrat side how many judges we have left who can give dispassionate opinions.
We have some, because there have been some very, very courageous decisions by Democrat judges.
But by and large, they tow the party line almost the way they do in Congress, where they all vote the same all the time, even.
You get a guy like Schumer who's willing to double-cross his own people so he doesn't criticize AOC and so afraid you might run against him.
Jesus, he's so old and feeble, you'd think he would go retire somewhere.
When he talks now, he sounds like he's screaming all the time.
Oh, just another piece of news.
He's under investigation.
He's under investigation by the U.S. attorney in the District of Columbia, a new U.S. attorney, but quite appropriately.
The place where they desecrated the Constitution to prosecute the January 6th people, a thousand of them, for being in Washington, being supporters of President Trump.
Now, he will not be treated as poorly as they were, but he's going to be put under investigation because of his present threats to Doge.
Now, I guess the statute may have run, but I don't think so.
I sure as heck would look at his threats on Kavanaugh because it resulted in a guy attempting to murder Kavanaugh.
Remember, he said that Kavanaugh was going to unleash the furies of hell or whatever if he decided against Schumer's position.
Well, he did unleash him.
The guy tried to kill him.
But for the good work of federal law enforcement, we wouldn't have Judge Kavanaugh.
And you can trace it right to Schumer.
Well, I guess they think they have a possibility of a case there with regard to Doge, because there are a lot of threats on Doge because of the ridiculous opposition to it.
I mean, Musk is an unappointed, unelected, he's an unelected public official.
Well, so was every lying jackass in the Biden administration.
So was Mayorkas, an unelected public official.
And so was those moron press secretaries that used to come out every night for him.
Or his chief of staff, who, by the way, isn't confirmed.
So the idea that you can only excise presidential power if you're confirmed, like hell!
There are certain offices that are put aside where confirmation is necessary, and other offices where they're not.
Tom Holman is not confirmed.
It doesn't have to be.
It depends on the legislation.
It depends on where Congress wanted to have oversight.
And if you create a group to assist you or help you as the president, those people don't have to be confirmed.
The president has the usual and natural powers.
That anyone would have to be able to carry out the functions of an executive, which is to run something.
And they are trying to destroy that because they realize how good he is.
And by the time he's finished, he may actually turn around the handiwork of their progressive communism that started during the Wilson administration, you know, around the time of the Second World War, the First World War.
Well, at the time of Stalin and...
Actually, Lenin communism.
So we're going to take a short break and we'll be right back and we'll take a look at how how Doge is doing.
Here we are pretty much at the beginning of the process here at this pristine.
I call it a laboratory of.
It's not like a factory.
It's like a hospital.
This is the beginning of the process for roasting.
Deep grain, very good quality.
Most people don't use this quality.
We deal with small farmers because we like to know who we're dealing with.
They give us the highest quality, all organic, non-GMO. You should know all Arabica beans.
No robusto.
All Arabica.
They're 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!

The Tunnels and Towers Foundation delivers on its promise to do good and never forget the sacrifices America's greatest heroes have made for us.
Heroes who risked their lives to keep our communities and our country safe.
Heroes like United States Marine Corps captain and pilot John Jeremy Sachs.
Captain Sachs sustained fatal injuries when his military aircraft crashed during training, killing him and five other service members.
He's remembered by loved ones as courageous.
Brilliant and devoted to his career, family, and friends.
Sean is survived by his wife, Amber, who gave birth to their second daughter three months after his death.
Tunnels of Towers paid the mortgage on the family home for Amber and their two daughters.
The foundation has helped over 1,000 military and first responder families navigate the worst of times.
By removing the burden of a mortgage payment.
Our nation's heroes and their families need your help now more than ever.
Donate $11 a month to Tunnels and Towers at T2T.org.
T2T.org.
That's T, the number 2T.org.
T2T.org.
Please.
I know, I watch.
I'm here, Rudy Giuliani, and this is America's Mayor Live.
And let's take a look at how well Doge is doing.
They have already saved $55 billion, even with every one of the Washington lobbyists and crooks and trying to stop them, and communists.
So who would oppose waste, fraud, and abuse?
Wasters, fraudsters, and abusers.
So now if you want to take a look at that, these are the savings that they have engendered at each one of the agencies.
Let's go to the top.
Department of Homeland Security.
What is that?
$8 billion, right?
And Agency for International Development.
Oh, that's going to be much higher than $6.5 billion.
And that's going completely.
Department of Education.
One billion.
Oh, gosh.
They just begun, right?
The Department of Education.
Then you got smaller amounts, but, you know, as they all add up.
GSA is going to go up.
GSA, almost 200,000.
Come on, that's got to be.
Well, 200 million, but we're going to.
200 million, that's got to be a billion.
We still have to lease and sell some of the government office space.
Department of Agriculture, I don't have a handle on.
173 million.
Health and Human Services, get out of here.
155. Department of Commerce, 119. Environmental Protection, 45, 27, and 25. This is without having anywhere near the older people in place.
This is with being in court every day on five or ten different ridiculously, totally frivolous cases.
And as I was told by someone who knows, I think, They said, you're going to be surprised how much more it is than this and how much of it involves corruption.
You're not going to surprise me about corruption, pal.
You're not going to surprise me at all about corruption in Washington.
Whatever percentage you come up with, you're not going to surprise me.
See all those Democrats that work for these agencies?
You think there's a connection?
I told you it's the party of slavery.
It's the party of segregation.
It's the party of Jim Crow.
It's also the party of corruption.
It's the party of Boss Tweed.
And the Boss Tweed's all over the country.
Is there an older Eastern, maybe even Midwestern, Democrat-controlled city where it's a one-party city that isn't corrupt?
I don't know.
Let's see.
Boston?
New York?
Philadelphia?
Detroit?
Atlanta isn't up there.
I'm really thinking.
I don't think so.
Atlanta could beat all of them.
I know for sure that Atlanta could beat all of them.
So, Cash, Patel, tomorrow.
Hopefully, we'll be reporting on it tomorrow night when we come on.
And the FBI will be on its way to being the FBI that I know and love.
A federal court now, in fact, an entire circuit, the 8th Circuit, has declared illegal the $475 billion that Biden gave to students as a bribe, knowing it was unconstitutional, and being told that by Pelosi.
And they...
We're arguing that Trump is acting unconstitutional.
He already had it rejected by the Supreme Court, remember?
A year ago, a year and a half ago.
He did it again, knowing it was unconstitutional.
Why?
To try to buy their votes.
Hey, pal, didn't work.
Trump got the youth vote from you, largely because you can bribe them all you want with these loans.
They don't want a president that's...
Where you can't have a job, where everything costs more, and most importantly, that they can't respect because he's a babbling idiot.
And maybe they didn't know, also, a crook and a pervert.
But they certainly could see that you were a babbling idiot, being protected illegally by all the people around you, who, by the way, should be put under investigation for that, including your wife, who probably knew more than anyone else how stupid and how idiotic you were.
She looked like she was fed up with you.
You'd be on the beach and you'd be all the way behind, And she'd be walking ahead looking for the next guy.
I mean, just looking.
I didn't mean to say that.
I shouldn't be disrespectful to the former first stepmother.
So, we should discuss for a moment this plane crash.
And the fact that there are so many of these.
Or are there so many of these?
Do we treat them as such significant events that we create the impression that there are more of them than there are?
So, Mayor, it appears that...
So we've had a number of high-profile incidences on these runways.
We're going to play this one on the screen here.
Multitask here while we put it.
Bring it up on...
Just the other day.
Let's watch the beginning.
Here it is.
So here's Delta.
A flight from Minneapolis to Toronto coming in.
It lands here.
And it rolls over onto its side.
And then it goes completely upside down.
And so that's what happened in Toronto.
I'm sorry, you're seeing this airplane just crash.
This comes, of course, just weeks after the incident in Washington, D.C. at Reagan Airport.
A Army helicopter and a regional jet.
And, of course, a medevac plane had gone down in Philadelphia just a few days later.
A commercial plane in Alaska also recently went down.
As did...
There was recently a crash in Arizona.
Today?
Today.
Small planes.
Small private planes.
Two small private planes hit each other.
It's almost like, holy smokes.
We're living in a simulation at this point.
If two private planes hit each other, how about a military helicopter hitting an airline?
I think both are...
Unfortunate and unacceptable.
Yeah.
Yeah, I mean, it is unacceptable.
So I'm going to tell you a statistic.
I can't imagine even this changes it much.
I just wanted to look it up quickly.
So ask the question, compare the death rate for flying and driving.
Flying is much safer than driving with a much lower fatality rate.
In 2022, which may be the last year, they have the full statistics.
The fatality rate for air travel was point.
Zero, zero, three deaths per 100 million miles.
For cars, 0.57% per 100,000 miles.
That's a hell of a difference.
So here's what that means, if you think as an insurance agent or any statistician.
There is a considerably greater risk to your life every time you get behind the wheel of a car than any time you go on an airplane.
Now, nobody's going to believe that right now watching this.
But we don't and we can't show you all of the crazy things that happen on the highway and driving where people get killed.
Every once in a while, we'll show you a crash.
But when you look at these, I mean, so now we've had three or four major crashes.
God forbid we may have a few more this year.
They'll be plastered on the news.
And you get brainwashed.
I don't mean brainwashed the way the communists do.
I mean sort of a natural process of brainwashing.
So you hear that.
You go on planes and you get scared.
You say, well, geez, my plane's going to go down like that.
We couldn't possibly broadcast to you.
During that period of time, all the people dying in automobiles, because that's all we were doing.
And if we did, then you would be frightened of someone you got behind the wheel of a car.
I mean, that rate is even more ridiculous than I thought.
What was that?
Okay.
Okay.
The lifetime odds, let's go to Las Vegas here for a moment.
The lifetime odds of dying in a car crash are 1 in 93. Really?
That's high.
That's not, I mean, that's higher than I thought it would be.
You know what it is for commercial aircraft?
1 in 9,821.
1 in 93, as opposed to, let's round it off, 1 in 9,000.
There's no comparison.
And please let me say another thing that both of them don't agree with.
Private planes are safer.
If you look at the rates, I'll find it for you.
If you look at the rates, much safer.
Safer than?
Than airlines.
Because private planes are better taken care of.
The problem with private airplanes is often an inexperienced pilot.
Okay.
Not the airplane.
They are inherently safer airplanes.
You can much more often land a private plane in trouble, safely, than you can a big, giant, super, super-duper airplane.
And you can cruise higher.
Unless you're sully, right?
You can land it on the top of the Empire State Building.
He could have landed.
He could have landed anywhere.
I mean, that guy is entitled to it.
He's entitled to it.
He just wanted to land in the Hudson.
Can you imagine?
That guy, you're talking about courage and calm and doesn't get upset.
You realize, wow.
You know, the other people that I'm amazed by, the people who take an airplane and are instructed on how to land it by the air traffic controller.
Yeah, that's happened.
Gosh, yeah, it's happened.
It happens.
But that's another reason why a private plane is safer.
If you are a person of normal intelligence and dexterity, and you can control yourself, and you have a good person instructing you, here, you'll land the plane safely if there's a place to do it.
I don't care if the pilot died or didn't die.
The odds are very much in favor of the fact you'll be able to do it.
It is not anywhere near as hard as you think.
Now, it's hard to be great at it.
It's hard to deal with all the situations that might come about if one of these things happen, like Sully bringing it down that way.
But, you know, 9,000 times out of whatever, it's...
All you have to do is follow their instructions and you'll be able to land it.
Now, here's the difference.
If it's a big airliner, the instrument panel is going to confuse the hell out of you.
I mean, that alone is going to take you a while to orient yourself to.
Whereas in a private plane, the smaller it is, the more compact and...
Easier to deal with are the things that you have to do.
And the more similar they are to driving.
So I did this once.
I landed a plane with a drug enforcement agent.
I was sitting in the co-pilot seat.
I got in the plane with him.
We were going on a somewhat secret mission over the border.
And I got in there.
I'll tell you where.
It was at the Arizona airport, private part.
It was a two-seater plane.
Don't remember if it was a jet or a prop plane.
I can't remember.
Maybe it was a prop plane.
Or it might have been like an older jet, small one.
Just the two of us.
So we take off, and then he's teasing me, and he says, you know, if I get a heart attack, you're going to have to land this plane, so let me show you how to fly it.
So I said, well, I have a little bit of instruction.
In aeronautics from college.
And he said, well, that'll help a lot, actually.
Tell me what you know.
So I told him a little bit about how you have to land the nose up.
He said, well, let me show you what you do.
So he's showing me now how to move the plane up, move the plane down, move the plane up, move the plane up, turn it a little right, turn it a little left.
He's showing me how to put it on automatic pilot, how to take it off automatic pilot.
And then he's showing me, while we're up there, how to land it, how to bring it down.
Follow the instruments.
Land it gradually.
You don't just go like that.
You land it like that.
And then, of course, the key to it is, at the very, very end, conceptualize the following.
Your back wheels have to hit the ground first.
You've got to come down like this, right?
And at the very end, you've got to do that.
Because there is the risk, if you go down like that, that'll happen.
You can't see me.
So you're coming down like that.
You're not going to understand this.
At the very end, you're going to pull your wheels up so you can land like that, as opposed to landing like that.
And once you get it, it's muscle memory.
You know exactly when to do it.
Now, I didn't get muscle memory, but I knew it intellectually and had done it in simulation.
So when we landed in Mexico, I landed.
I landed the plane.
He was going to let me land again in Phoenix, but he said, they may be looking.
And he may do something wrong and we'll get in trouble.
Thanks.
But in any event, I'm telling you, so it's important to absorb this and understand it, but it's also important not to get brainwashed by the fact that, oh my gosh, I won't go on a plane again.
Look, if you get that way, don't go in a car.
I would tell you, just don't go in a car.
If you really are worried, well, then you're absolutely ridiculous going in an airplane and not going in an airplane, but using a car.
Like, for example, suppose you've got to go from X to Y. You've got to go from here, Palm Beach, to Orlando.
So that's about a two-and-a-half-hour drive.
You can take a plane.
You get there faster.
Much greater chance you'll get killed on that plane than if I get behind the wheel of my car and drive it or somebody drives me.
That simple fact.
Definitely in Florida when all the snowbirds are down here.
But waiting at the airport, you might end up actually saving time in the car up to Orlando.
You know, this is also factors in all the bad drivers.
Now, I'd like to see what it is in New Jersey.
You know New York and New Jersey always are that.
When somebody does something crazy on the road, that's a New Jersey driver.
You know how often they have New Jersey plays?
And it's really true.
Well, that's a safe place for you to go, Mr. Mayor of New York City.
Right?
Easy out.
Blame the New Jerseyans.
I'm a Floridian now.
There are a lot of people from New Jersey down there.
Just as many as New York.
And, you know, people from New Jersey will often tell you they're from New York.
That's true.
I'm from New York.
The city.
Just outside the city.
Where?
Where are you?
That's funny.
That's funny.
I like that.
Even lower west, Justin.
Oh, I'm from New York, Mayor.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Where are you from New York?
No, no, that's upstate.
For me, that's upstate.
Well, they can't.
Let's face it.
I grew up for two-thirds of my childhood, meaning 7 to 21, in Nassau County.
But I always considered I grew up in New York.
If you would just ask me where you grew up in New York, then you'd ask me to describe it.
I'd say, well, seven years in Brooklyn?
And then seven years in Garden City South and seven years in North Belmore.
Yeah.
I wasn't trying to deceive, but if people from there...
Now, for example, most of the people that lived in my communities worked in New York.
Flatbush.
When I moved to Long Island...
All of a sudden, a few years later, I went to high school.
Went to high school in Brooklyn.
Went on the Long Island Railroad.
Everybody on the Long Island Railroad with me were workers who live there and work in New York.
At one point, it was something like 70% of the population in Nassau County worked in New York City.
Last time I checked, it was more like 50. And about 40% of Suffolk County, which is further away.
And that may be changing, but New York City still, even with its...
is the financial engine that drives the entire state.
Yeah.
Of course.
And the further away, I bet you the further you get, the more people associate with the city, right?
So if they live in Nassau County, but they're in California, somebody asks where they're from.
Yeah, it's easier.
It's easier.
And in fact, they're in the New York metropolitan area.
I mean, as defined by the media and the rates they charge you.
So when you buy television for the five boroughs of New York...
I can't imagine.
Which is only 8 million people.
You're buying it for 13 million people, and you get killed in campaigns.
Yeah, I can't imagine the expense.
You get killed.
I mean, it's like, and I tell you, for a Republican, you get yourself elected in all those other places, but not in New York City.
Yeah.
Because they're all Republicans, and they're saying, oh, we like that.
We lost.
Yeah, we still lost.
You know, it wouldn't be bad for New York people to advertise down here in Florida.
I feel like every other person I run into down here is from New York.
I would say even more than that, right?
Is it possible that there are more people from New York here than in New York?
That is actually very possible, considering how international New York is.
I would actually...
Well, I'm willing to say, is it possible just in West Palm Beach?
There's more people that were born in New York State than born in the state of Florida.
Is that true?
I don't know for sure.
I'm just saying.
I'm willing to bet.
I have met more New Yorkers than Floridians.
Do you think that would be any different in Fort Waterdale or in Miami?
Miami is going to be more of a mix.
Not when I first started coming down here.
Miami was the biggest.
That's a good question.
That's why I've learned Florida so much.
Republican National Committee brought me down here to campaign all the time.
When I was mayor, I was extraordinary.
As much in demand to campaign down here as I was in New York.
More of a Republican state.
Particularly in southern Florida.
And your voters.
A lot of these people voted for you.
Southern Florida and the east coast of southern Florida.
If you want to get even more specific.
Because they voted for you or they have close family that probably voted for you at one point.
If I were to come down here like in a January or February like now.
A lot of these people are going to go back to New York in two months or three months.
We've had candidates from Michigan advertised down here in wintertime because of the residents of New York.
Us Michiganders, more on the west side of the state.
So the Midwest, right, over in Naples, Tampa Bay, the Gulf of America side.
Trump has sort of...
Trump has accomplished for what the airplane crash has accomplished for people being brainwashed about.
He's made the New York, Florida, New York, Southern Florida thing worldwide.
He's the most famous New Yorker, right?
And here he is in Florida.
Him and you are the two most famous New Yorkers.
I'm one of the most famous New Yorkers.
Here I am in Florida.
I can go on and on and on.
I saw yesterday When I gave my speech at the Colony Club to the Republicans.
Oh, I really wish I was there, man.
So there I was with Bill Diamond.
Bill Diamond was my commissioner of administration for eight years.
He was the head of the administrative office for the federal government that took care of my U.S. attorney's office.
So I've known Bill for like 25 years as sort of my landlord.
Business landlord.
Yeah.
And then when I became mayor, I put him in charge of all of the property in New York City, which is a hell of a big job.
And I'll tell you, it was a hell of a heroic job after September 11th.
Oh, I can imagine.
And Bill then came here and got elected to the council here in Palm Beach.
Oh.
He was a council of like eight or ten years.
Wow.
And an extraordinarily dedicated Republican.
Yeah.
So he was, you've met Bill.
Yeah.
Very tall.
Yeah.
He was there last night at the Republican.
Has he lived down here now?
Yeah, yeah.
He lives down here now for about 18 years.
Well, obviously, if he's a counselor, we've got to get him over for the show.
Yeah, you should get Bill over for the show.
We can tell lots of stories.
I want to hear more stories from the mayor of the 90s.
So the people on the plane say they were hanging.
This is what amazes me about the way the plane came down.
It turned over.
The people on the plane said they were hanging like bats.
And the important thing was reorienting themselves very, very quickly.
Because they kind of landed on their heads.
But they didn't land on their heads.
They had a little bit of orientation because the plane rolled around.
It didn't, like, land backwards.
It landed this way and then rolled around.
So you could feel that happening.
I really, I imagine by the time, I think they would have a little trouble.
Coming down.
So I wonder if they weren't all awake.
I don't know if anybody was sleeping.
Thank God nobody was in the bathroom.
Like we said, some people rush at the very end to the bathroom thinking they have time.
Wow.
The thing just kind of went sideways.
And then the next thing I know is kind of a blink and I'm upside down, still strapped in.
One minute you're landing, kind of waiting to see your friends and your people.
And the next minute you're physically upside down and just really Turned around, but it sounded, I mean, it was just cement and metal, you know?
What I saw was everyone on that plane suddenly became very close in terms of how to help one another, how to console one another, and that was powerful.
But yeah, there was definite, what now?
Who's leading?
How do we find ourselves away from this?
I think there was paramedic of help, move, and then as a father, I saw this boy and mom who were just, you know...
Everyone seemed, not oddly calm, but everyone seemed like they were there to make sure we helped each other and, you know, moved out of harm's way.
The most powerful part of today was there was just people.
No countries, no nothing.
It was just people together helping each other.
Well, I don't know what else to say about it until we get a...
A sort of official analysis of what happened.
It is obviously something happened.
It looks like something happened in the landing gear.
The plane started skidding.
Flames came up off the runway.
And then it flipped over.
And at some point, the wing came off.
I don't know if that came off as it landed or it came off when it was turning over.
Democrats are already jumping to blame President Trump.
How do they do this?
I don't know.
I mean, I can usually...
I was trained by both the judge I clerked for and a detective that was sort of my mentor, that you have to think like a criminal to catch them.
So I try to think like a Democrat in order to catch them, and it's easy to catch them because they're all stupid.
But the crooks.
But I would be...
For the life of me...
Is he putting pressure on Canada?
They're trying to say changes at the FAA, but I think that if this illustrates anything, it's that we need changes at the FAA. And this isn't even the FAA. Well, how come crashes were happening before?
Trump came along.
Yes, I mean...
I don't know exactly.
He was a very hands-off, phone-it-in kind of transportation secretary, so I don't think he really did much.
You can't blame him or anything.
You didn't want anything good or anything bad.
If we need to assign blame to the Biden administration or the Trump administration for these plane incidences, you have to place the blame on the Biden administration.
If we have to, right?
If there's any systemic problem playing itself out, it's much too early in the administration for it to be trouble.
It's like, Secretary Buttigieg, we need to hire more FAA people.
I'm breastfeeding my son right now on my swing.
Come back to me later.
The thing I missed when I showed them all the statistics on Doge is Trump told Hannity, He looked for somebody smarter than billionaire Elon Musk and couldn't find one.
I think that's probably true.
Oh, and that's a compliment.
They're having SpaceX come in, I guess, as a consultant to help air traffic control become more efficient, and I welcome that.
Not a bad idea.
Didn't they help figure out how to get the astronauts back?
I was just going to ask, what's the stat?
We've got to see.
We've got to check in on those astronauts.
How about a little humor borrowed from the New York, really borrowed from the Babylon Bee.
Which is totally hilarious.
That is funny.
But via the New York Post.
Week's best of the Babylon Bee.
Headlines from America's satirical news source.
Babylonbee.com.
Man finally realizes the reason people play hockey is you can legally punch a Canadian in the face.
Wow, sign me up, said local man Bob Denton.
Punching Canadians is totally my thing.
I don't know about this whole skating business, but I love this little guy from Quebec in the mouth.
And there you see Taychuck taking a shot at the hockey...
The Pemecrois are the worst at it.
I don't want to say that.
Who did you say that was?
I think that's one of the Taychuck brothers.
The Chuck.
Kachuck?
It's pronounced Tay...
It used to be pronounced Taychuck when the old man was with the range.
Keith Kachuck?
Yeah.
Or his brother, Brad.
Okay.
It's one of them.
They both had fights within a minute of each other.
They didn't help each other.
They just did their own.
But they must have made a pact that they were going to...
Remember, the national anthem was booed.
Yeah, you can't get booed and then not drop them right off the bat.
Oh, whoa!
Really?
And then they went ahead and won three to one.
Oh, the Canadians booed.
Yeah.
Okay, we're in Boston tomorrow night.
The Americans said they weren't...
The Americans actually said, well, we weren't going to take it.
We weren't going to take it lying down, so we decided, okay, let's punch those bastards out.
And they did.
The American USA hockey team has asked President Trump to make an appearance tomorrow night in Boston.
He should.
He should.
Yeah, that would be something.
And we should not boo.
The Canadian national anthem.
We probably will cheer for the 51st day.
Yeah, of course.
That's why they beat us.
Most states don't have an anthem, but we don't allow them to keep their anthem.
I like their anthem.
Oh, Canada.
You're right.
You know, they changed it to make it more woke.
They took, in all our sons command, and they changed it to, in all of us command.
Oh, they got rid of sons?
Really?
Now all the old-timers who sing the national anthem, they always get a little tripped up at the local men's club.
Sons, what?
We're keeping it the same.
We really want them as a state.
That's a good point.
There's a whole section of them that are anti-woke, though.
I know they are, but they weren't at the hockey game.
I'm surprised that the hockey fans, they should be Canadian hockey fans.
They're in Quebec.
They hate Canada.
They want to be more to France.
That's a good point.
Yeah, Quebec, you're right.
And Stephen's our resident Canadian expert.
But I have a feeling they're a lot different, even there, right?
Not big on Trump, some of those Quebec...
Trudeau and Macron remind me a lot of each other.
He's in a pod.
They both remind me of big sussies who can't make a decision.
I think both of them are beaten to the Pope by their wives.
In fact, as they get older...
Well, I think as Macron gets older, even though she's a lot older than him, it'll be elder abuse.
Schumer also has a scary-looking wife, I think.
You don't say anything about his wife.
She's a friend of mine.
Oh, sorry.
She worked for me.
She was my commissioner.
I'm sorry.
For eight years.
I don't really know her.
You're damn right.
Iris is great.
Poor thing.
I might feel sorry for her.
Sorry.
You didn't know.
You're right.
It's really unfortunate.
When you say something like that about such a nice woman, it's like I did make a mistake like that once when I told Dick Morris.
I said, Dick, you know, all the things that Clinton has done, I don't want to be judgmental.
Look, I'm not a saint.
But the girl in the Oval Office, she was a young girl.
He took advantage of her.
But in the Oval Office?
My God, it's like sacrilegious in a way.
Dick Morris looked at me without...
Batting an eyelash and he said, you don't wake up seeing Hillary Clinton every morning.
I'm sorry.
That's what he said.
And I shut up from then on.
I shut up from then on.
That's a good one.
So here is another one from the Babylon Bee in the New York Post.
Democrats furious.
Republicans trying to control government just because they won the election.
They simply...
They simply cannot come in and take control of governmental agencies simply because people voted for them.
We must employ every means possible to resist this takeover, shouted Senator Elizabeth Warren.
That isn't a joke.
She actually said it.
Pocahontas actually said it.
Can you imagine?
They can't take control of government simply because people voted for them.
Has there ever been a bigger rejection?
Of our founding fathers and our government of the people?
Did she ever hear that from Lincoln?
Or was she on a reservation at the time?
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Pocahontas.
I believe I am more Native American than she is.
Yes.
I think that's fair to say.
I'm just going to go ahead and say that.
What a cheat.
She had a cheat when she was a kid, and now she cheats.
But what a statement.
Simply because people voted for them.
Well, how else would we be in power, Senator?
I mean, what?
Oh, I guess we could have done what you guys did, like cheat on the election or hide the hard drive and get fraudulently elected.
We could have done that, the way your crooked political party...
Well, you know, she is quite wealthy for keeping a modest salary.
Well, so it's Bernie Sanders.
Maybe she had some casino.
Things from her tribal affiliation.
The Native Americans reject her completely.
I don't think it's a single Native American to vote for her.
Because they feel that she's like a...
Phony.
Let's look at it.
You don't see a stoic character here.
She got 1% where the DNA was 1%, 2%.
So what she did is they were given special consideration as part of affirmative action, right?
Right.
So she cheated.
So she could get an upper hand on other people.
She was put in a special category.
That's exactly what happened.
She was put in a special category of a minority.
And you know, Doge is actually, they said they're looking into these quote-unquote public servants who have high net worths but low incomes to see how that came to be.
So maybe she's a little bit worried about that.
Well, I was shocked when somebody told me that Shura's net worth.
A lot of them.
I always thought Schumer was kind of like a simple...
I don't know if I'm right, so I'm not going to say it.
So we're going to check it out and find out what his net worth has reported a bit.
But I was shocked.
Absolutely shocked.
Since, you know, she's been a government worker all our life and he's been a government worker.
I know Schumer since he was an obnoxious younger man and his wife is wonderful.
And I don't think he's ever made money, legitimately, that I know of.
So has he devolved, though, recently, or has he always?
He's become, since Obama, he's become a progressive.
And I always thought he would at least have the courage to stick up for Israel.
But he's completely, you know, caved in on Israel.
And he began doing it even before he interfered in their election and tried to get Bibi overturned and thrown out.
He did it when he wouldn't stand up to the squad.
And his party, by doing that, and the other Jewish members of Congress, by allowing that to happen, they actually furthered the anti-Semitism.
So now the Democratic Party is an anti-Semitic party.
I don't care what you want to call it.
It's an anti-Semitic party.
It's against the existence of the state of Israel.
Well, look at those Gaza encampments, if that tells you anything.
Yeah, I mean, and the ones who are are afraid to come forward and really defend Israel.
With supporters like them, you'd rather have enemies because they're right out in front and you can see them.
And Schumer would probably be one of the leaders.
And if you wonder why the Democrat Party, as it goes along, it's going to get worse, becomes truly anti-Semitic.
I mean, for all their talk about neo-Nazis, they're a hell of a lot more anti-Semitic in terms of anything that would make a difference right now in our society than the rather small number of neo-Nazis we have as opposed to these crazy anti-Semitic pro-Hamas Democrats.
Remember when Donald Trump said that America should take over Palestine and we should throw the Palestinians out?
We didn't say it that way, but the Palestinians should go somewhere else.
You know what the percentages in Israel are?
68% of Israel support that, support Trump.
4% are against.
I'd like to meet the 4%.
It'd be easier to talk to than the 68%.
He sure as hell carried out the will of Israel.
Absolutely carrying out the will of people of common sense who do not want a neighbor next to them who is dedicated to annihilating them.
What's so hard to figure out about that?
I figured it out 30 years ago and opposed a two-state solution from the time, from way before I threw Arafat out of the UN. This weekend, lots of people were asking me about throwing Arafat out of the UN. I don't know why, but I told the story, including making fun of Mrs. Sorensen, who was there for the UN and trying to stop me from doing it, and didn't like the language I was using, and I told them, well, I come from Brooklyn.
Sorry, and you come from...
But I'm a hell of a lot more effective than you are.
I'd like to see you reduce crime in New York, Mrs. Zarnson.
Ghostwriter for John F. Kennedy.
Her husband was the ghostwriter for John F. Kennedy, alleged to have written Kennedy's books.
Don't know if it's true.
Kennedy's a smart guy, so it might not be true.
So 68% support Trump, 4% against him in Israel.
I guess if things go bad here, which they won't.
He can go take...
He can't run for a third term here, but if Bibi gets tired, he can go over there, right?
I don't think...
I wonder if Israel would allow...
Well, if someone would allow an American who's Jewish to run, because you're automatically an Israeli citizen.
We'll see.
There was a major anti-protest against...
in favor of Hamas.
In Brooklyn yesterday.
Now, that's one thing.
I just find this protest in favor of a bloodthirsty, animalistic terrorist group kind of strange.
But to go to the Hasidic area, Borough Park, is just kind of outrageous.
I mean, it reminds me of the pogrom.
That was instigated by Al Sharpton under David Dinkins.
And I want to just show you some of it.
Here's the pro-Hamas guy.
I don't know.
What has he got?
Has he got a cigarette?
There's a little thing around his head there.
What the hell is he wearing that thing for you?
There's no sand here.
You know, I was once told I couldn't make fun of that because it was religious.
Nothing religious about it.
They wear it because they live in the sand.
They don't want to get sand in their ears, which is one of the reasons I threw Arafat out.
With that thing on and sand in his ears, how is he going to listen to Beethoven's Ninth Symphony?
It was like an outrage.
He would have that thing on his head and listen to Beethoven's Ninth Symphony.
And then I was told by my press secretary I might be insulting the Islamic religion if I said that.
So I didn't say it except to my friends as a joke.
And then I put it in my book.
But it has nothing to do with the Islamic religion.
It has to do with the fact that they live on camels.
Well, you want to hide yourself if you're doing nefarious things.
You want to hide your face.
Here's the Jewish contingent.
These are Hasidic Jews.
These are very Orthodox Jews.
Who, by the way, were the last to really support the idea of Israel.
Some of the Hasidic groups, as you know if you've read the book The Chosen or seen the movie, opposed the establishment of the State of Israel because of their religious belief that Israel will only be reestablished when the Messiah comes.
And if you ever want me to tell you more about that part of the religion.
Which a lot of Jewish people kind of avoid.
I'm going to tell you a really interesting...
Well, I won't tell you because it tells me a secret about somebody I shouldn't say.
But there they are opposing each other.
So, I mean, this is a section where you go just to cause trouble.
If the idea of protest is to change somebody's mind, right?
To get your idea in front of them, right?
So that's why I really object to...
The kind of way they crack down on the anti-abortion protesters.
Those people have a right without touching anybody or assaulting anybody.
They have a right to present their point of view to the people who are going for abortions.
I even think that it would be absolutely legal for a state to pass a law that required that you read...
And sign off on literature that makes available to you adoption services before you eliminate the baby.
I don't see how that would...
I don't see...
In fact, I would think if it's a right to choose, it should be an informed choice.
Is it possible...
I mean, is it possible that the woman, out of fear and panic, is having a child because she doesn't realize there are options to preserve life?
I'm sure there are some where that happens.
I don't say everyone.
And I don't see how that interferes unless it's an emergency.
Rarely are abortions an emergency.
Those are miscarriages, frankly.
In fact, they describe a miscarriage as involuntary abortion, which is a little strange when you see it on a list doing New York.
When you see it on a certificate, because you think the person, well, you've got to look for the word involuntary.
Because in a miscarriage, a natural abortion takes place.
It happens internally.
So, I absolutely can't see, if we could talk to each other like rational people, why we shouldn't.
At least recognize the significance of what's there, even in the early stages.
Maybe you want to say it isn't life.
But you can't say it's not potential life.
I mean, the minute the sperm meets the egg, we're on our way to life, right?
All the rest of the sperm, thousands of them, go off, don't do anything.
But then if you're lucky...
The one egg that a woman has will be reached by the thousands and thousands of sperm cells that are ejaculated by a male.
And one of them will find the egg.
The minute that happens, you're on your way to life.
Now, is that life?
I think so.
But that hasn't always been the case, even under Catholic doctrine.
And not all Catholic theologians have always believed that.
For a thousand years we have now.
But I do see how there is, in a pluralistic society, the recognition that even though I believe that, other people don't.
And there should be a period of time when they can make a choice for an abortion.
The first three months, I would think.
But not beyond that.
But I can't see what at all is the objection to saying before that everyone engages in the significant act of eliminating a fertilized egg, an embryo, whatever, you know, at any stage that the person has to inform themselves of what's available in terms of adoption.
And then it says, no.
If it's within the right period of time, in most states, you'd be able to have the abortion.
Some states not.
That's their right.
If we truly believe in states' rights, which we better get back to, because it's one of the other ways to control the excessive dictatorial powers of the federal, democratic, federal government.
This is a Democrat federal government ruled by a Republican right now, but...
70-80% Democrat when they come in, you know, try to take your car away or come in your house with a machine gun.
Hopefully that's going to stop also.
Israel is going to witness this weekend on Saturday the last turnover of hostages in this round.
So it amounts to six.
I think some of them are dead.
But they also announced before that that the Bebas children and the mother are dead.
Now, the father, Yarden, was released earlier this month, not knowing if his, at the time they were taken, his two-year-old Kaffir and his five-year-old Ariel were alive or his wife.
There had been contrary reports from Hamas are playing with him because they're sadistic.
And he was released by Hamas.
He was one of the people that looked like a Holocaust survivor because these people are brutal animals that should be thrown the hell out of Gaza because they shouldn't be anywhere near Israel.
The minute we turn our back, they're going to start killing people right now.
They're killers.
They're trained.
They won't allow them in Jordan and in Egypt because they're trained killers from birth.
So you can't trust any of them.
They would tell you.
Their brothers and sister Arabs would tell you that.
And we gotta take them.
Not me.
So Hamas...
Hamas announced that the three of them are dead.
And I guess they're going to turn the bodies over tomorrow.
And there was a contrary rumor that that's not true.
Well, I guess we'll find out for sure tomorrow.
Oh, maybe.
On Saturday, six Israelis are going to be freed.
Instead of four, there will be only four in the last round, and now it'll be six.
But that still leaves maybe 50, something like that.
And it leaves some dead bodies.
I don't know how much more patience Donald J. Trump has for this.
And on the Israeli side, they try to keep it quiet because they're releasing murderers.
Hundreds.
Hundreds of prisoners are freed.
Some of these people were convicted of murder.
And they're going to do it again.
And it really raises a very, very, very important question.
That is the right policy to follow.
I understand the humanitarian nature of it.
If my child, man, I'd be right there with you.
But the president and the prime minister and the people have to think in terms of the entire population.
And I give up a thousand killers for one life and then I lose a hundred people?
I don't know, is that the humanitarian thing to do?
Really?
I really would like to discuss that in greater detail with the people who, not the people who are in the middle of the emotion, but people who can think more clearly, which is what a leader is supposed to do.
So we'll find out about this tomorrow.
And then we'll find out on Saturday if they live up.
I mean, I'm sure they're going to live up to it because they're scared out of their minds that Trump is dying to have hell break loose.
It reminds me how the Russians were scared of Reagan.
Years after, when you talk to them who grew up in Russia, they said they all thought Reagan was just dying to bomb him.
And in fact, Reagan was probably the most against nuclear everybody on the planet, like Trump is.
So we'll see.
We'll see what happens.
Remember when they had that little city in Colorado named Aurora?
And we all said, meaning, let's just call it for the sake of a description, the conservative media.
Or how about the honest media?
We said that Aurora was overwhelmed by trans Dioragua people, and they also had major, major presence in New York, Los Angeles, now about 10 other places.
Well, two of them were arrested in New York yesterday.
Since you might run across them because they're out on bail.
I'll show you what they look like so you can stay away from them.
But they were...
Why am I laughing?
This is not a laughing matter.
It reminds me of when I used to laugh about Biden, you know, falling down, going up the stairs.
I mean, it was tragic, but tragic for us, not for him.
I mean, geez, can't have much sympathy for him.
But Jose Tamarones Caldera.
And Richard Garcia, thank goodness, finally a name you can pronounce.
And Richard Garcia were arrested for, along with Rafael Nieves, who may or may not be an illegal immigrant, in Woodside, which is that area that we went through, Ted, where the illegal migrants have turned it into a brothel.
An area of prostitution, open drug sales left and right.
They were running a very, very active drug operation out of the VNR Auto and Collision, which either they owned or took over and threw the guy out like they did in Aurora.
They went before a judge.
Fairly major drug operation.
They're back out again.
I don't know.
If you want to go see them, maybe you should go to VNR Auto and maybe the Immigration Service should go there because New York City didn't notify the Immigration Service.
I don't know.
I think you should put the people who didn't notify in jail for obstructing justice.
For aiding and abetting the evasion of federal law.
When did federal law...
When were you able to take federal law and subjugate it to state law?
There's a supremacy clause in the United States Constitution which says that federal law is supreme.
Not just the Constitution, but the laws of the United States are supreme.
And it's always been true.
That in the area of immigration, federal laws were considered to preempt state laws, except in crooked Democrat cities, where they don't follow the law, and then accuse Republicans of that, and we do.
And they try to put us in jail for it, despite the fact that we don't violate the law.
These are the two guys.
That's Jose Tamarones Caldera, and that's Richard Garcia.
They'll be hanging around Queens now by virtue of a Queens judge whose name they didn't give me because I would plaster it all over America and find out.
And I can guarantee you it's a Democrat judge appointed by the county boss of the Democrat Party in Queens because all of the judges in the four boroughs that are Democratic dictatorships, they are appointed by Democratic bosses.
The election is a farce.
There either is no opponent or they might as well not be opponent because it's a democratic dictatorship.
And they run it that way.
So I don't know who the judge was, but you can be sure it wasn't a Republican.
And these animals were put out on the street.
You want to calculate how much fentanyl they've delivered to people?
In the drug operation they run?
Think they ever killed anybody as a result of it?
Who knows?
The judge didn't care.
I don't know.
Did the judge ever think maybe if she or he has kids that this affects all kids now?
Because very benign amounts of drugs, as there are such a thing, small amounts of drugs, which you never expect would lead to an overdose, can just kill you immediately if there's a little fentanyl in it.
And that is not...
A scare tactic.
That's happened a lot under the Biden massive influx of fentanyl.
How about four to five times under any other president?
So there, there is the chief advisor.
I want you to see this.
I want you to know that the governor of New York has a very, very learned advisor.
Very learned.
That's a very learned advisor.
She's advising, he's advising her.
On whether Mayor Adams should be removed.
Now, I really, really, and the whole issue, you know, is the lying assistant U.S. attorney said it was terrible and unprecedented because the Trump administration made a deal with Adams and said, we'll drop the case if you follow the immigration laws.
Now, first of all, Tom Homan says, absolutely not true.
That commitment was made weeks ago when he met with Adams, and he publicly stated it.
President Trump made the decision to pardon or otherwise help Adams the day that Biden had the Gestapo go into his Go into his chief assistant's home and raid it.
Because he came to the conclusion that Adams, who had begun to really, really criticize Biden about immigration and now had escalated it to the level of getting two other mayors to come with him to the White House, that they had to stop it right there.
And that this is consistent with what he did with Melendez, who may have been guilty, but never would have been prosecuted.
And I talked to the president either that day or within a day or two, because he wanted to know my perspective on it as former mayor.
And I said, this is the same conclusion that Ted and I came to, but I told him.
The minute we heard about it, we said, they think he's a Republican.
And then when I saw the case, I said, well, obviously, this is an absolute bullshit case.
That's what we would call it.
As a prosecutor, I'd call it a bullshit case.
I would have gone like that.
I don't prosecute that crap.
Upgrading tickets on an airplane in exchange for expediting a building that should be expedited.
I mean, if these two things would take place anyway, it's very hard to call them a quid pro quo.
I mean, you could say it is.
The case is arguable.
Had they gone to trial with it, given the nature of the judiciary now, unfortunately, I think the case probably would have been upheld and they would have gone ahead with it.
Whether it would have been convicted or not is another story.
Because it does seem like small potatoes to a New York jury when you got Hochul taking all kinds of money left and right and hanging in there as a governor so her husband can have a big payday because nobody tells you that he's going to get a...
Tremendous amount of money from the concessions at the stadium that she has spent her life screwing around to build and putting all kinds of state money in that nobody ever would have put.
Even her own Democrats objected to it.
I mean, that woman is dealing with allegations involving very, very substantial amounts of money and very significant acts of alleged bribery.
And they don't even bother to talk about it.
And they go after Adams because Adams opened his big mouth.
Now, she's not smart, but she's crooked enough to keep her mouth shut.
And she's dumb as a skunk.
But she's getting advice from a very high-level advisor.
I'm sure he's discussing with her how frivolous the argument of that assistant U.S. attorney was.
Who said that it was outrageous that they made a deal.
Without bothering to tell all of us that the US Attorney's Office in New York and everywhere else makes that kind of deal every month.
It's actually astounding.
That she'd have the temerity to write something like that.
How about we just remind people of Spiro Agnew.
Spiro Agnew was extorted out of the vice presidency because they were going to indict him for a $2,500 bribe.
And they let him plead nolo contendere, if I recall, which means you don't admit the charge, you're not guilty of the charge, but basically drop the charge in exchange for his leaving the vice presidency.
That is done a lot with public officials or candidates of public office who are in a corruption case that is...
Is a good case.
You can get an indictment.
But like all cases, you could lose it.
And the crooked politician would remain in office.
And some of them might not be very strong cases.
For example, this wasn't.
I can't tell you how a jury would have come out on a case where they were upgrading his tickets.
I would imagine he's got a pretty good defense that he didn't know it.
And he could probably get 50 public officials to come and tell you.
That they didn't know it either when it happened.
It just happens with public officials or with significant personalities or with celebrities that they upgrade.
And I imagine he could have gotten expert witnesses that, yeah, you do try to, the buildings department in New York is notoriously slow, lazy, and I can't tell you how many buildings expect as I arrested for corruption.
And I can't tell you how many were corrupt even when I was the mayor, which I was shocked at.
Here I had put maybe 70 or 80 of them in jail for corruption, and I get 20 or 30 that my commissioner of investigation comes and tells me, who was a colleague of mine from the U.S. Attorney's Office, that you won't believe this, Mayor, but you can arrest 29 guys in your buildings department for bribery.
I said, what?
Didn't they know I would be—the first thing I would do is look for it?
He said, well, it's a, you know, it's like the way it is in the Democratic Party.
The default position is corruption.
They believe they can get away with it, and they don't realize every once in a while somebody comes along who's actually honest.
And then that works for a while, and then they go back to being like they are now, completely corrupt.
So, I don't get this argument that they're making that this was some kind of unusual thing.
The U.S. attorney, her boss, had just done a deal with an executive of a company in which they dropped the case if he installed the practices that they wanted and also left.
And they dropped the case.
Because maybe, and here's the argument for it, a legitimate one.
I did it.
You could always lose the case, and then the crook remains there forever.
So you've got to weigh it.
You've got to weigh the importance of the crime.
We're talking murder.
Obviously not.
We're talking real bribery.
Upgrading a ticket is not real bribery.
The quality of the evidence.
Did he know?
Didn't he know?
The chance of conviction.
You've got to weigh all that.
And then you've got to say, well, I can get him to follow the law.
I mean, how often are companies and their executives not prosecuted because they put in a program to change their practices?
Which, if you got a conviction, wouldn't necessarily happen.
So the prosecutor's got to evaluate, is that more important than the case?
And I'm going to tell you, this is a case that I don't think a...
A prosecutor in a non-two-tiered justice system would have in a million years prosecuted or pursued.
Now, they have other cases against them.
Great, but they've had them for a long time and they're not pursuing it.
They're not doing anything with them.
I would think, under the pressure they're under, they would have brought those indictments if they're real.
So we got a...
Tragically and unfortunately...
Every one of those assistant U.S. attorneys who left, I would say, never belonged to the Southern District of New York.
Because they're freaking liars.
A lot of them made deals just like this.
And if they didn't, their boss did.
And they're pretending, you know, we would never bargain a case for a change in conduct.
I don't know what happened in my office, but I'm ashamed of it.
I have been on any number of occasions, including, as will come out, when Kash Patel digs this all out at the Southern District of New York, way back at the beginning, passed up the evidence of Biden corruption.
It wasn't important enough to look at.
Or maybe it was a Democrat.
Because that's when they were trying to frame Trump with Cohen.
So they were more interested in framing Trump than pursuing real crime that now has proven to be historic crime.
A disgrace to the greatest prosecutor's office in the country.
Berman was the prosecutor.
A little weasel.
Republican.
Never should have been the U.S. Attorney in the Southern District of New York.
Should have been the U.S. Attorney in New Jersey.
But somehow, Chris Christie got his U.S. attorney in, and the president put him there, never consulted me.
I knew him.
I was his law partner for a while.
Nice guy.
Very loyal to Trump, seemed to be.
But didn't have the capacity to be U.S. attorney in the Southern District of New York.
I would have laughed at him.
And then he turned out to be a complete weasel.
Coward, really.
pushed around by people of superior intellect, who he was made the boss of.
And they were maybe of superior intellect, but had serious advanced cases of Trump derangement syndrome, which doesn't allow you to think fairly, logically, rationally.
So we have definitely overstayed our welcome.
We're in the 10 o'clock hour.
And so therefore, we are going to go and take...
I'll leave.
We're going to be back tomorrow, and we're going to see if we can be back in time to celebrate the confirmation of maybe the most important appointment the president is going to make.
I will get out for you some more information about the covering up of criminality of one President Zelensky.
To show you why when the president says he either shouldn't be or shouldn't really have a big voice in what goes on here, it's quite correct because he will not give an opinion that's in the best interest of the people of Ukraine because he's been president of the country and he's never acted in the best interest of the people of Ukraine.
He had to defend them because it would kill him too.
But otherwise, he's left the country as corrupt as he found it.
And, yep, he put Kolomoisky, his old pal, in jail.
But everybody else is running around.
And I don't see him.
I don't see if he returned the money that Kolomoisky gave him.
Or, apparently, one or another of the mansions that he has.
So, I'm looking at my sweet little dog.
There he is, Raleigh.
He looks like he's very sleepy, Steve.
Does he have anything to say?
Raleigh, do you have anything to say?
There he is.
Can we get a camera on him?
Let's see.
Maybe that one?
There he is.
Look up there, Raleigh.
Look up there.
You can be up there.
You got Raleigh.
Say goodnight, Raleigh.
There he is.
There's a little Raleigh.
There he is.
Say goodnight, Raleigh.
Oh, don't hurt his neck now.
He's a good boy.
Well, let's pray.
Really now, let's pray for a peaceful solution in Ukraine.
We're at that verge of having it.
Maybe the ceasefire thing is a good idea so we don't kill anybody as everybody debates.
It would be terrible.
It'd be like, you know, people getting killed after a war is over.
This war is over, but for the negotiating.
So maybe they just stop shooting at each other.
Everybody stay where they are.
If they're going to trade, let them trade.
But no more shooting, okay?
I wish I could say that to the people of Hamas, but they're just going to kill you if they see you.
So that's not going to stop.
It's only going to stop when you wipe them out.
But we'll pray for the people of Israel and we'll pray for the people of Ukraine and we'll pray for the people of Iran like we always have to because we want them to be free and get rid of the Ayatollah and you'll be back tomorrow at 7. On X and on Lindell TV. And you'll be back here at 8 for the 600 and whatever, 609th?
609th edition of America's Mayor Live!
Good night and God bless America.
It's our purpose to bring to bear the principle of common sense and rational discussion to the issues of our day.
America was created a time of great turmoil, tremendous disagreements, anger, hatred, anger.
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.
