	Ladies and gentlemen, this is Rudy Giuliani, and I am dressed up today as if it's a Friday, okay?
	And I'm also dressed up as if I'm a make-believe law professor at a make-believe law school, of which there are many with a few exceptions.
	Those who taught, for instance, the judges of the District Court of the District of Columbia, I would like to get a list of those law professors and have them, oh, at least questioned.
	You're not supposed to, you're not allowed, the Chief Justice says, You're not allowed to.
	I don't know if you're not allowed to criticize judges or you're not allowed to ask for their impeachment.
	Hmm. John Roberts, don't you think that sounds an awful lot like censorship?
	Like, let's think about the countries that had like judicial censorship.
	I mean, we know about executive dictators.
	Who censor.
	But I don't know, even in those countries, I mean, did the judges do the censorship?
	We'll have to do some research on that, Ted.
	Because this was, they really started it with Trump not being allowed to speak during the election.
	Because that was a neat trick that the crooked Democrats pulled.
	Roberts, you didn't say much about that, did you?
	That was a neat trick.
	They put him on trial for charges that even to somebody as far away as, oh, God, 400 miles between Washington and New York, one would see that the indictment didn't contain the allegation of a crime.
	I don't know.
	Does the chief justice note things like that?
	Like when courts go completely off the rail and become completely illegal and corrupt?
	Suppose we charged John S. Johnson.
	A really, just an ordinary businessman who, they found a false record.
	They found a false record in his business records.
	Instead of putting down that he paid $500 for an item for his business, he put down $5,000 for that item.
	Now, he contends it was a, he contends, I don't know.
	First of all, I didn't put it down at all like Trump didn't.
	My accountant did.
	And maybe there was a miscommunication.
	But they decided to indict him for the measly, tiny little misdemeanor of having a false entry entered, which is what Trump was indicted for.
	But they don't really like this guy because they find out later on that he voted, well, this guy was really bad.
	He voted against Bragg and he voted for Trump.
	So they say, well, a guy that fits an ag category is entitled to an upgrade.
	So we're going to upgrade him to entering the false record in pursuance of a felony.
	So they indict him for that.
	And his lawyer comes in and says, Your Honor, could you tell me the felony?
	No. Will you ever tell me the felony?
	Maybe. But judge, can you really charge him with a crime and just say felony?
	Judge, how many felonies are there in the New York Penal Code?
	Four or five thousand, I guess.
	Three thousand, two thousand.
	Could you give me a hint?
	Like, is it a big felony or a little felony?
	No. He has a lawyer.
	Now, even from afar, the Chief Justice would look at that and say, My God, someone just desecrated American law.
	There'd be a tantamount to somebody blowing up a courthouse.
	I don't know how long the rule has been in effect.
	You have to be put on notice of what you're charged with.
	If they don't tell you the felony, the underlying felony you were trying to further by your alleged false statement, you're not even charged with a crime.
	But that case, Judge Roberts, you sat there and watched that whole damn case go to trial.
	You watch them never actually, even during the trial, locate a felony.
	Oh, among other eras of gross proportion.
	So this wasn't just a, oh, we'll fix it on appeal.
	Oh yeah, but the appeal was going to come after the election.
	What good was that?
	And wasn't that on purpose?
	And the other three that were going on at the same time?
	And you said nothing about the use of the court system, two of them federal courts, two of them state courts, and you're the biggest, highest judge in the world here?
	And you didn't say anything about that during the time it happened?
	And now you're saying that people, particularly the president, shouldn't be complaining about impeachment over a court ruling they should be appealing.
	Who says that?
	Is that the Judge Roberts' alien and sedition woman?
	It is in the Constitution, Judge.
	It's in the Constitution, really, in two ways.
	It's in Article 2, where it says officers of the United States can be impeached.
	Don't tell me it doesn't include judges.
	We've done 15 of them.
	Well, they're all unconstitutional.
	Eight of them were thrown off.
	And, Judge, in Article 3, you do know it says good behavior, right?
	What does that mean?
	That means good behavior is anything you say it is?
	Or does good behavior have some kind of external interpretation if it's really bad behavior?
	Does that air another ground for impeachment?
	All very interesting legal questions that can be raised in a free country, but you seem to be on the side that doesn't think we're a free country.
	Now you've got this guy, Boesburg, I think a creature of Obama, Who was pretty harsh on January 6th people, but they all were.
	You watched that court turn into a tribunal of even greater scope than the internment of the Japanese during the Second World War, didn't you?
	You watched constitutional rights being just completely splashed, splattered, and killed.
	You saw a chief judge tell the judges they didn't give enough time to it.
	To those people who carried out an insurrection without bringing a weapon and who were verbally called insurrectionists.
	You saw a president removed from ballots based on insurrection and they had a thousand cases and they never charged an insurrection.
	And they never approved an insurrection.
	And you didn't say anything about judicial misconduct?
	Not a thing?
	Of course, sitting right there next to you.
	But you're worried about a president getting annoyed at a judge's ruling and talking about impeachment when it's in the Constitution of the United States?
	Charging people with crimes without telling what the crime is is not in the Constitution of the United States.
	Holding people without bail on minor charges is not in the Constitution of the United States, Judge.
	Those judges that sit under you there really were a bunch of criminals.
	They're operating a bunch of criminals, the way they operate in a fascist or communist type government.
	And you just kept your mouth shut.
	And now you're worried about impeachment of Judge Bosberg.
	Well, I mean, it gets a little much when this judge who sits on a court that probably has disgraced his country immeasurably, probably the darkest day in American justice.
	Treatment by the D.C. District Court of the January 6th defendants.
	But now he's fighting real hard to get all the rapists back.
	And he really is, boy, he is going at it big time to see.
	I mean, it is only, how many is it, about 200?
	I mean, you could tell him there are plenty more here.
	If he's concerned there won't be enough rape in America, there are plenty more here.
	If he can go find them, protect them.
	Take them home with them.
	How about the murderers that have been sent back?
	Does he have any idea what Tren de Ragua is?
	It's a prison gang that has become the fastest growing organized crime group in this country.
	It kills on sight.
	And a couple of them are MS-13.
	They like to chop little girls' heads off.
	Putting on a big fight for them.
	Nobody put on a fight for the January 6th people.
	A whole bunch of them walked in a door that was just wide open.
	How the hell did they know they weren't supposed to go in?
	A whole bunch of them are being charged with hitting cops.
	I don't like hitting cops.
	But a couple of them look like the cops might have hit them and they didn't hit the cops.
	And you've got a cop you're protected in D.C. who sure as hell looks like he committed first-degree murder.
	And you're covering him up.
	What are you doing, Judge?
	And Boesburg, what the hell's with you?
	You head screwed on backwards?
	You're actually trying to get these people back?
	You're trying to catch the Trump administration?
	What, they mislead you as to what?
	What do they mislead you as to?
	I mean, I don't know what they did.
	I wasn't there.
	I've read what I've read.
	I'm a really good lawyer a hell of a lot better than you are, Judge, without any doubt.
	We're not even on the same plane in terms of knowledge of the Constitution and integrity to it and not misleading people about it.
	I wonder about the Chief Justice when he kind of...
	It sort of suggested like impeachment wasn't available under the Constitution.
	I don't say that it happens all the time, but 15 are quite a few judged to forget.
	It is funny that you forgot Article 2 and the good behavior part of Article 3. I'm sure you pay attention to it as a Supreme Court Justice that you're there on good behavior.
	It doesn't say that about the president, about good behavior, by the way.
	It doesn't say it about the Congress.
	It says about you.
	So they're obviously putting up some kind of standard so that since we were giving you life terms, we could get rid of you if you were a real bunch of skunks, right?
	But we're dealing here in an area in which the court should give full and absolute discretion to the executive branch of government.
	Now, these are people who are not citizens.
	They have no right to be in the United States.
	Their presence in the United States is a privilege.
	If they give us doubt as to whether or not they're imperiling the foreign policy of our country, who gets to determine that?
	You? You think you really get to review that?
	You may think you, sitting there in your little ivory tower with no foreign policy or foreign intelligence or any view of the world in it.
	Obviously, extremely warped, left-wing, narrow political and legal education.
	Do you really think you should be making that decision for the good of the American people?
	You see, if you're wrong, these guys come back.
	With that many of them, they're going to rape somebody.
	And not only that, it's going to encourage the other ones that are out there to see who they can...
	Beat the hell out of rape, rob, steal, kill, take over.
	Had, you know, had you guys intervened in the 2020 election and know what you were supposed to do, Lake and Riley be alive today because that criminal, Joe Biden, would have been president and opened the gates of America to the guy who killed her.
	Oh, boy.
	I don't think any of you guys want to take a trip to Ukraine because have Ukrainians ever figure out?
	That Biden is the reason they all got killed, even though they kind of like him because, you know, he did business with their country.
	And for some reason, the Ukrainians tolerate like the second or third most corrupt country in the world.
	But if Biden hadn't been elected, that war doesn't take place and those million people are alive.
	That's a lot of people, Judge, to stay out of an election because it might be a little dirty.
	I mean, the consequences of an election.
	I'm not about the reputation of the Supreme Court, are they?
	Nor does the reputation of the Supreme Court give a damn if the Republic is going down.
	So I don't know what Boesberg did today.
	He held up.
	He wants to find out if they defied his court order.
	I don't know what that means to defy his court order.
	As far as I can tell by the chronology, and now I could be wrong because there's been so many confusing...
	You know, I'm not in court.
	I hear both sides.
	I'm not the strier of fact or the determinant of fact.
	I think this is right, but I'll try to get it a little more tightened up.
	I think the order officially got to them when he was beyond your jurisdiction.
	Now, the question, I think, If I'm wrong, I don't know.
	You guys have been trying to hold me in contempt for a long time.
	Hold me in contempt or something.
	I don't have a right to free speech.
	But I'm not in the District of Columbia now.
	I'm in Florida, and I think Governor DeSantis would fight an extradition to a sort of non-American type jurisdiction where we apply...
	The rules.
	I don't know.
	Who wrote the rules?
	Was it that chief judge you had who was completely bloodthirsty to put January 6th people in jail?
	Now, I was in trial before her.
	She didn't seem to have gone to an American law school.
	It's tragic what you're doing.
	It's tragic.
	You're playing with lives.
	In fact, you've been playing with lies for quite some time.
	Do you ever think of all the cheating you did in 2020, how many lives you cost us?
	How many lives you cost us in Ukraine?
	What about the kids in Afghanistan, huh?
	What about the guy in Afghanistan that Trump just got out?
	And the crookedest president in American history couldn't.
	Did he get anybody out?
	The hostages?
	The hostages, he never even mentioned them.
	The 13 who died didn't even seem like he wanted to go to the ceremony.
	Gee, I wonder when I can get back to my ice cream.
	Or the money I'm getting from Ukraine.
	One of the reasons you get away with this is, even with the conservative press, people of America don't know how bad you really are.
	I do.
	That's why you hate me, and that's why you want to destroy me.
	And I'm not going to my grave knowing it.
	Everybody's going to know it.
	Because you've tried everything to shut me up.
	Just like you have him.
	It hasn't worked.
	Judge rebukes Justice Department.
	Raises due process questions.
	For non-citizens, you know, they have what is known as limited due process.
	All of the presumptions should be in favor of the decisions made by the executive branch because this is an area of our government that has been largely confined to the executive branch.
	It involves two intersecting, you know like circles that intersect?
	Two intersecting powers that are traditionally very, very strongly executive branch powers.
	Conduct of our foreign policy, protection of our border.
	Congress, yes, has rights to declare war.
	Congress has the right to approve or disapprove treaties.
	And Congress has the right to write laws to help carry out the mission of protecting our border.
	And the president, of course, must follow those laws unless the president disagrees with them and believes they're unconstitutional, in which case he has to challenge them as he is doing.
	That's our government.
	That's the way it works.
	You don't get to make all the decisions because you have those robes on.
	I mean, the reality is that in this particular case, the judicial branch of government, I would think Judge Roberts would be the first to tell you, has the least power.
	You have no role in this.
	Other than if the president acted not just incorrectly, but really recklessly.
	And you're telling me that rounding up a bunch of Trenderagua people and MS-13 people who have histories of crime here and in their mother country and are here illegally is something illegal?
	Well, let's hope that this gets before...
	Well, I don't know how much you count on the D.C. Circuit.
	I figured when I still had my case and before it was settled, I wasn't figuring it was even 50-50.
	I watched what they did with the January 6th people, and they fit a little closer to my definition of marginally an American judge.
	The D.C. Circuit, better get one quick.
	But we'll take a short break, and when we come back, we'll take a look at what's happening to the Department of Education, and maybe we'll listen to the President in his own words on this subject.
	Now, it might be also a good idea.
	No one expresses it as better than the President himself, because he happens to be 100% right, and he's trying to save you.
	He's trying to save you.
	Here, he literally is trying to save you.
	Against a group of vicious, violent criminals being set free.
	Now, I come from New York.
	I'm used to judges letting vicious, violent criminals get set free.
	They did it in the 70s and the 80s, and my predecessor, Ed Koch, used to go nuts.
	They did it in the 90s, and I went so crazy, I stopped it.
	And they're doing it now.
	And they're running a guy for mayor, Andrew Cuomo, who has passed a law to change parole, and we have 42 We have 42 cop killers running around that got out because of his new war.
	So I'm used to what Democrats do.
	But this is beyond the pale.
	We'll be back in a moment.
	Bye. Bye.
	You're still looking good.
	I'm still feeling good.

	You know, just in case you'd like to know who's a lawyer and who isn't, Boesburg isn't I am.
	Here is a quote from the Supreme Court.
	That's the court that Roberts is on and trying to protect by using it as an instrument of censorship.
	In 1999, the Supreme Court in Reno v.
	American Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee ruled that Here's a quote.
	When an alien's continuing presence in this country is in violation of the immigration laws, and there's no question these people are in violation of the immigration laws, the government does not offend the Constitution by deporting him for the additional reason that believes him.
	Doesn't have to prove it.
	Believes him.
	Remember, they don't have the same rights as a citizen.
	Believes him to be a member of an organization that supports terrorist activities.
	The people that are being deported, the president and the administration, sincerely believe are members of Tren de Aragua who have committed numerous murders, rapes, and other kinds of crimes in the United States.
	And MS-13, for an even longer time, has done the same.
	That's the only question that the judge should be asking.
	And the question really is, is it within his jurisdiction?
	Because these people were outside his jurisdiction when he issued all of these orders.
	What is he, the judge for the United States?
	I thought it was the little teeny District of Columbia he was the judge for.
	And Judge, why are you stretching the law to protect murderers, rapists?
	You want people to disrespect the law even more?
	So the guy involved in it, you've seen plenty of times.
	You can see the post headline here when he was arrested.
	And then the Columbia students protesting for him.
	Now what he was, that's the guy right there.
	That's Mahmoud Khalil.
	He's a Syrian.
	He is a multiple lawbreaker.
	He's in the country illegally several times, several different ways.
	And he has been conducting illegal protest after illegal protest.
	By illegal, I mean things burn down, property gets destroyed.
	Much worse than any of the January 6 people that the bloodthirsty judges in the District of Columbia put in prison, including holding without bail and causing suicides.
	That's the guy that this fight sort of is over a guy like that.
	Can the president throw him out?
	Or can he throw him out?
	There are so many protests against his country.
	He can throw them out just for being a vocal supporter of Hamas.
	He's like, I have a First Amendment right.
	No, you don't, pal.
	You don't.
	No, no, no, no, no.
	Your First Amendment rights are different because you're not a citizen of this country.
	Your rights come under a number of cases, including the Reno case, which says that you can't offend.
	The Constitution of the United States.
	And you can't raise questions as to whether or not you're a danger to the national security of the United States.
	You don't have to be a danger.
	But if we have questions about it, we can throw you the hell out of here.
	I mean, you're such a bad case for them to raise that only the most sinister of left-wing judges would bother to support you.
	And supporting you is one thing.
	But supporting all the MS-13 and Trenderagua people reminds me of the mayor of Denver who said he was going to stand at the gates of the city of Denver to stop Tom Homan from coming in.
	Tom has pulled about a thousand out of there, and the mayor is...
	I think he's in the...
	Well, they don't know if he went into the men's room or the ladies' room, but there you can go into either one depending on...
	depending. And of course, that's in the state with that very, very great governor who has, between the boy mayor and Governor Feliz Navidad, the state of Colorado and the city of Denver has more per capita illegals than New York,
	and it is...
	Getting the hell kicked out of it.
	It's also being sued by 15 counties, the governor is and the mayor is, for destroying the state.
	I mean, it's not enough.
	You can't walk around that state without failing a test for marijuana because your hair, you know, you're lucky I don't have any hair, but your hair, you know, retains it for about a month.
	So you spend a little time in Colorado.
	You got a job as a cop, you come back, and you fail the marijuana test.
	Also, Oregon did something about it, but Colorado is like bumper cars.
	I mean, these guys are smoking away on marijuana that's 10 times whatever you used as a kid, and they're banging their shit out of each other and killing each other.
	Great change.
	That's really great.
	Make us even more wacky.
	See if you can do more to destroy our brain cells.
	Yep, you're going to save us from climate change, but none of us are going to have any brain cells left with all the marijuana going around.
	Goodbye, Department of Education.
	Wow. What a useless thing that was.
	That was a deal between a communist organized union The teachers' unions, a group of them.
	And Jimmy Carter, because Jimmy Carter was...
	Well, Jimmy Carter maybe wasn't as honest as he claimed it.
	This was a pure, straight-out bribe.
	You do a Department of Education, and we'll support you, Jimmy, over...
	I guess over...
	Who the heck was trying to run then?
	Ted Kennedy?
	I don't remember.
	I think that was too close to the time that Ted Kennedy killed a girl for him to run.
	He tried to run four years later and was defeated by Jimmy Carter.
	But he helped to defeat Jimmy Carter.
	And I've forgotten who tested out Carter then.
	Why he'd be so worried?
	Oh, because he came out of nowhere.
	Nobody knew who he was before he ran.
	And then after he left, nobody knew who he was.
	And then he did all those houses with left-wing groups that made fortunes on them.
	And then he came out against the state of Israel vehemently.
	Oh, but he's a big hero.
	He did a great job with the Shah.
	Gave us Iran.
	Did nothing about our hostages?
	Oh, yeah, that's right.
	He bounced a helicopter in the desert, I think.
	That kind of like gave Clinton the idea that when we get attacked, we should hit empty fields so that Ben Laden feels like, well, they're just a paper tiger.
	Clinton's got better things to do than to bomb me.
	We all know how tight up he is in the Oval Office.
	So today, the president, I think, was it today that he signed it?
	Let's show the signing.
	It was yesterday.
	Let's show the signing because it's quite beautiful with all the children.
	It's also nice to see a bunch of children around the president not looking scared.
	That's cut four.
	Cut four.
	Look how nice these kids...
	Look, I mean, they look so...
	Look at that little girl.
	She looks so pleasant.
	She looks so pleasant, that little girl.
	She doesn't look afraid of him.
	Remember the little girls around Biden?
	The faces they would make?
	Okay. And all the children got the sign.
	Isn't that cute?
	Oh, look, they're all holding it up.
	Now, come on.
	Grandpa. You know, Ted and I get the pleasure occasionally of seeing him as a grandfather.
	Usually at the golf course more than Mar-a-Lago.
	Because, as you know, his oldest granddaughter is quite a golfer like he is.
	It's kind of skipped a generation.
	Donald and Eric, I mean, Donald, as you know, is a hell of a hunter.
	And Eric, too.
	I don't...
	I'm sure they both play golf.
	I think I've seen them play golf.
	But it's not like Dad, who is devoted to it.
	And it looks like Kai is very devoted to it.
	And I'm told by my son, who's seen a play, I haven't seen a play, that she's excellent.
	I think she's on the...
	Excellent. Miami golf team.
	I'll double check that.
	Is that right?
	I'll check that.
	My son is coming down here tomorrow.
	Well, Tiger Woods is now, I believe, dating her mother.
	Isn't that interesting?
	And the president seems okay with it.
	Hey, I mean...
	You know, the president figured he'd get a few lessons.
	I mean, you couldn't be...
	Nine times out of ten, when he talks about my son Andrew, he says, you know, that kid won the Eisenhower.
	You don't know how hard it is to win that.
	Andrew's a hell of a player.
	Then he goes on with everything else.
	He does love golf, and I think it's a very good thing for him because it gives him a little bit away.
	Although, gosh almighty, he does all the wrong things in the sense that he works.
	He can be on the golf course and talking to Georgia Maloney or talking to one of his aides.
	Talking to the Secretary of State.
	And then as soon as he's finished with golf, mostly now he has his people around.
	They go off into a private secure room.
	I keep looking at the television to see if we're getting bombed or bombing somebody or being attacked or whatever.
	But you see him with the kids.
	Both his own children and...
	He will not turn a kid down.
	And sometimes you've got to look at what he goes through.
	Okay, he's the president, and he's a really mature guy.
	But boy, they drive him nuts.
	I mean, they don't let him eat, they don't want him.
	But he loves it.
	And he loves kids, and you can see it, and you saw just the opposite with Biden.
	If you didn't see stress, you don't have any sensitivity.
	So, I'm going to tell you why I know that doing away with the education department is good for children.
	I'm not a great...
	I'm a scholar of education.
	I was responsible and did run the largest school system in the country that was ruined by the very charming woman who very often fools you with her great charm.
	She really is a dedicated communist who has no concern for the children.
	She is the person most responsible for the kids spending an extra year.
	In school, in public schools controlled by her communist unions, whereas the kids in parochial private and other public schools, charter schools, unassociated with these communists, didn't.
	And those children, the children who lost that extra year, are primarily the ones that have fallen behind the most.
	I can tell you from the time I was mayor until now, in New York City, The cost per child has doubled.
	The budget has become more than one-third of the budget in New York City.
	And we went from one of the top cities, even with all the damage done in the 70s and the 80s, and then the work that we did to reconstruct it, we were doing pretty damn well.
	Since then, it's gone straight down.
	I mean, like, really down.
	Places I never thought it would be in the 20s and 30s.
	I mean, we spend more money on children than any place in the world than we have some of the worst results.
	All due to the very charming woman.
	And this is why she gets away with it, because, as you'll see now, when you see Randy Weingart, she's extraordinarily charming, and people are fooled by it.
	Let's listen to her.
	And when they cut half the people, it's like...
	Evisceration by a thousand cuts.
	So you want to do this?
	Have the fight with us in Congress.
	Let's make sure we get the issues out there.
	I'm so mad.
	I'm spitting mad about this because it's hurting the people who can't vote.
	Children don't vote.
	Let's not take away their opportunity.
	The last person in the country who cares about children is that witch right there.
	That's the last person who cares about children.
	There's nobody in the United States that did more damage to children based on the pandemic than Randy Weingarten and her teachers.
	Randy Weingarten and I negotiated for six years, and I found her to be completely insensitive to the problems of minorities and children, completely even insensitive to the problems of good teachers.
	You're crazy to be part of her union if you're a good teacher.
	Yeah, I can't tell you how often I offered a large raises for very good teachers.
	I said, boy, you got some teachers that are fabulous.
	I'll pay them anything to keep them.
	And you got some teachers that are very good.
	I'll pay them more to keep them.
	Then you got teachers that are average, and I'll pay them average.
	Then you got some teachers I'd like to see them either go into remedial or kind of over a period of time get lost, and I'll pay them less or no raise.
	And then there are some I'd like to kick right the hell out, about 10, 20% of them.
	Oh, we can't do that.
	All teachers have to be treated the same.
	They're all the same.
	And there's no way to measure the performance of a teacher.
	a break.
	In a move that should outrage every parent in America, Teachers Union boss Randy Weingarten is threatening legal action to stop President Trump's executive order dismantling the Department of Education.
	Instead of supporting a plan that puts more money and control in the hands of parents and states, Weingarten and her union are fighting to keep the corrupt, failing D.C. bureaucracy intact.
	Prioritizing their own union's power over the success of America's children.
	For decades, the Department of Education has spent over $3 trillion while test scores have plummeted, including in Democrat-run cities where students are trapped in failing schools.
	Nearly three-quarters of eighth graders can't do basic math, and 7 in 10 struggle to read.
	But instead of fixing this disaster, Weingarten and the union, the American Federation of Teachers is focused on keeping their political machine running, blocking reforms, protecting bad teachers at the expense of students, and demanding more taxpayer money with nothing to show for it except bad results.
	To be clear, statistics show that the Board of Education has failed at its mission of educating students properly, and if we are 100% honest with ourselves, the teachers must take some of that responsibility.
	But it seems like teachers unions will fight to keep kids failing as long as they have job security, regardless of the teachers results.
	The American Federation of Teachers has even taken the position in the past that the teachers union will fight for children once they start paying union dues.
	And this is the conflicted organization that is now suing the Trump administration.
	I asked Secretary of Education Linda McMahon her thoughts on Weingarten's lawsuit threat.
	Do you have a comment on the lawsuit being filed by Randy Weingarten?
	Well, I've not had any conversation yet with Randy Weingarten.
	I know about last week, about a week ago, her comment was the president wanted to take education away from children, which clearly is not the case.
	He wants to improve education for children.
	He wants to get those dollars even...
	More dollars back to the states without the bureaucracy of Washington.
	So that's our plan.
	That's our goal.
	I'd be glad to meet with her and talk to her about that.
	The real question is, how much longer will parents allow teachers' unions that protect teachers' big salaries and job security even when there are failed results to hold their children's future hostage?
	Why should failing teachers be protected by a union at the expense of your child's education?
	And if a teacher isn't doing their job, shouldn't they be fired just like in any other profession?
	Instead, the unions are fighting tooth and nail to shield bad teachers from accountability while American students are falling further behind.
	President Trump's executive order is a wake-up call.
	The Department of Education has failed.
	And now the very people partially responsible for its failure are fighting to keep control.
	Will parents and lawmakers finally take a stand against teachers unions that have no interest in student outcomes?
	Power above our children's futures.

	My goodness!
	You're gonna want to specially order these.
	This is what goes into Rudy's coffee.
	Rudy's coffee.
	you you Thank you.
	Thank you.
	Rudy Giuliani back with you again with the Rudy Giuliani Show on Lindell TV.
	And it is a pleasure to be back with you.
	And let's see if we can...
	Celebrate. Let's celebrate the return of a hostage.
	Now, we didn't get to celebrate much of this when Biden was in office, right?
	This didn't happen very, very much.
	But now, we're getting hostages back, aren't we?
	And the reality is that if we take a look here, we'll see.
	We'll see the hostage.
	No words, but anyways, I'm in depth with the president, President Trump.
	Amazing, you know.
	Thank God he's in the White House where he's at, and thank God he got me out.
	Marco Rubio.
	Yeah, well, I didn't say thank God for anybody else but Donald Trump and Marco Rubio.
	That's George Glesman, an American held hostage by the Taliban.
	The Taliban is the country that got to take over Afghanistan when Biden made a cowardly, insane, traitorous exit, leaving behind $85 billion worth of arms, making the Taliban one of the greatest and largest merchants of arms in the world.
	Arms that they have used to kill us, to kill Israelis.
	I'm sure Hamas and Hezbollah and the Houthis have any number of arms that come from the Taliban.
	So thank you, Joe, for your contribution to that additional contribution to the death of Americans.
	And once again, thank God you're gone because this man wouldn't be home.
	If you were gone, and we wouldn't be talking about peace at any place.
	We'd be talking about continued war so that the deep state criminals around you could be whacking up military money.
	I mean, the greatest time for crooked people, you know what war profiteers are, right?
	It's wartime.
	You wonder why they like to keep wars going?
	You think it's ideological?
	What's the ideology going on between Ukraine and Ukraine?
	And Russia.
	Are they Russian or Ukrainian?
	What's the ideology?
	Both countries are crooked as hell.
	The Ukrainian people are nicer people, maybe?
	I don't know.
	Are they?
	Are the Ukrainians nicer than the Russians?
	I know the Ukrainians better, so I like them better, but they both have governments that suck.
	One is a complete murderous dictatorship, and the other is completely corrupt.
	Which leads not to as many murders, but certainly leads to some.
	They're run by an oligarchy that's an organized crime group.
	And we, of course, ignore it.
	We ignore it because it fits the left narrative and the other doesn't.
	So that's the way we do it.
	So that was very nice of Mr. Glesman to thank President Trump and Secretary Rubio.
	But, you know, they are day in and day out going on the offensive, trying to get Americans back.
	Biden spent day in and day out ignoring the Americans, not only that were hostage, but the ones that he made hostage, that he allowed to die, or the many Ukrainians that died, or the many Americans who died of fentanyl.
	And his party supported it because power was considerably more important than human life.
	Well, Israel is not waiting, nor should they.
	An Israeli hostage who came back, and this got no attention in the crooked left-wing media, but a hostage, Eli Sharabi, who spoke before the UN Security Council with no one reporting it.
	And maybe he did because some of the things that he said before the UN Security Council was, Hamas eats like kings while hostages starve.
	That's a war crime.
	Nobody trying to arrest them.
	They're trying to arrest Bibi Netanyahu for defending his country.
	And some of our allies are involved in it.
	They haven't quit the stupid international court of justice or world court or whatever the hell it is.
	I've been against the world court, the international court of justice and the international court of bullshit from the day I was in law school.
	Probably from the day I took constitutional history in college.
	I'm going to let these people judge my Americans?
	There's nobody in the world that holds the values that we hold.
	And not all of us hold those values anymore.
	I'm going to let a country like France that caved into the Nazis to make decisions about me, or a country like Great Britain that now puts people in jail for what they think, make decisions about my citizens.
	And those are the best ones.
	It's like the UN, you know, the Council on Human Rights in the UN run by Cuba.
	Or run by China.
	These people were kept 164 feet underground.
	Mr. Shirabi, his entire body was wrapped in chains, so tight that they ripped his skin and he bled constantly.
	And he was, as a matter of course, to be subjected and kept in.
	In control, they were beaten.
	And any number of the people doing it worked for the UN.
	They worked for the UNRWA.
	They had UN insignia.
	The UNRWA is a terrorist organization.
	I don't know if the president has gotten us out of it.
	I think he may have designated a terrorist organization.
	I'm not sure.
	You sure as hell could meet that standard, Secretary, that the UNRWA is a terrorist group.
	A lot of them fought.
	In the attack on men, women, and children.
	Innocent men, women, and children in Israel.
	And a lot of them were involved in torture.
	And they stole almost every bit that we sent them for Hamas.
	If it was money, all of it.
	And if it was food, most of it.
	All that stuff about humanitarian relief, it was feed the hostages.
	I mean, feed the terrorists and starve the hostages.
	Well, in Ukraine, we've got a switch that has now taken place.
	And it really is caused by the switching positions from Zelensky to Putin.
	So when it started off, it seemed like Zelensky didn't take advantage of an opportunity to do a quick ceasefire.
	Putin was ready back then for a bit more because he wasn't sure he could get Kursk back.
	I thought he had made his last stab about a month ago.
	Remember, Kursk was taken originally by Zelensky about a year ago.
	It was a bold move, controversial move among his own army who felt that it cost him a little more territory in Ukraine.
	In my view, it was probably the smartest thing that he did.
	He went and he grabbed some territory, a bit of fighting with the Russians, unexpected attack on Kursk, took territory about, I don't know, is it about 70, 80 miles into Russia from the border?
	And he held it at least twice, maybe three times, against counter-assaults by the Russians.
	Two of them, with the help of North Korean soldiers, which may actually have been a benefit to the Ukrainians, because the North Korean soldiers were shooting themselves, shooting the Russians, and completely, completely, completely,
	completely screwing up the whole operation.
	Unfortunately, with the little bit more time they gave Putin, he took one more try.
	And I think had he failed in that try, he would have gone right back.
	But each day he kept...
	Progressing to the extent that he has.
	He says he has all of it.
	The Ukrainians say he doesn't.
	We'll have to see.
	But it looks like Zelensky will go in with one less bargaining chip.
	He's got no bargaining chips by Trump.
	So we're going to have to see how Trump pulls this one out of the bag.
	He started today by increasing the military aid to Ukraine substantially.
	And by offering to go partners on the nuclear facilities with Ukraine.
	Now you figure out what that means.
	And if you're Putin, you ain't going to like that very much.
	So you go over now to X and we'll continue our discussion.
	We have a few more things on Ukraine and then on everything else that's going on tonight and into the weekend.
	And we'll be back next week at 7 on Wendell.
	TV at X and then at 8 o'clock, like we are right now, go right over to X and we will be continuing in two minutes.
	God bless America.
	God bless America.
	Good evening.
	This is Rudy Giuliani, and this is America's Mayor Live, live from sundown in Palm Beach.
	And we're thinking from all the way here in Palm Beach about what's really going on in Ukraine.
	We've got another weekend, a weekend where a lot of time is devoted to trying to reach a peace, both there and in the Middle East.
	The Middle East seems to be going the other way right now, which we'll discuss a little later.
	But here, this week, we got to a modest ceasefire, meaning an agreement not to hit electrical facilities, not to hit facilities that would basically imperil an entire city or town.
	As much for the benefit of the Russians as the Ukrainians, because they've been doing it to each other.
	The problem that we have is that Putin would not agree to a ceasefire, which originally Zelensky wouldn't agree to.
	You might remember several weeks ago when Zelensky came to the White House, very angry and very upset, and I think quite inappropriately.
	But the more important thing was, after it was over, He made a statement that was extremely damaging in saying that the war would go on forever.
	Betraying to some of us who believe that he's more interested in the money flow than the lives of his people left us really quite convinced that Zelensky had to go and that he's been a problem for a year and a half.
	I still think that's true.
	I can't imagine a man fighting a war that he knows he can't win.
	For a year and a half, watching his people get destroyed, making himself president for life, ruling by martial law, and watching hundreds of billions of dollars come in and actually saying that he didn't know what happened to $100 billion.
	When he knows that I know his background as the creature of a rotten, crooked...
	Oligarch, one of the worst in Ukraine, his upbringing in terms of his profession.
	He was completely made by Kolomoisky, probably one of the most crooked oligarchs and distrusted oligarchs in Ukraine who had been exiled until he funded the little man's campaign,
	and then he was brought back, and now he's been put in prison.
	But in any event, all of the reams of information, the unbelievable amount of evidence that Zelensky has that could deliver his people from bondage in the sense that they could recover money from the people who've been sucking their blood for the last 10 years,
	he's covering it all up to help the people who suck their blood all these years, and they're getting plenty more money in there.
	And the only thing stopping that would be the end of the war.
	And I think he thought he could have outmaneuvered Trump to keep this thing going in another six months or a year.
	Who knows?
	It could be another 20, 30, 40 billion that he doesn't know where it went.
	I have a feeling.
	No, no, no.
	I know where it went.
	I've been in Ukraine a lot.
	I know how crooked it is.
	And I tell you that it would not be shocking to say that Ukraine is...
	Well, it's not shocking.
	It's absolutely true that Ukraine is one of the five most corrupt countries in the world.
	Is it more corrupt than Russia?
	On a big scale, no.
	Russia's much bigger, bigger dollars.
	On a per capita scale?
	Maybe. It's harder to do business, honestly, in Ukraine than in Russia.
	Because Ukraine's smaller, and particularly when Poroshenko was there, he tried to get into every deal, and you had to push back big time.
	I just refused to do the deal, which I did many times.
	But I'm telling you, all that money that we're putting in, which only a small fraction of which is going to help the Ukrainian people, if we succeed in creating an independent Ukraine, whatever,
	right now we're going to create one of the 10 most corrupt countries in the world.
	Because if anything, Zelensky's made it worse.
	With doing away with the election, doing away with accountability, saying stupid things like, I don't know what happened to 100 billion.
	He's clearly a product of the oligarchy and should be kicked out on his very tiny ass and put somebody in there who's a patriot.
	And he made a very big mistake.
	After doing a very smart thing, let's look at the map.
	So that's what Ukraine Has pretty much looked like now, honestly, that's pretty much the way Ukraine looked since Obama gave it away in 2014.
	In fact, Russia had all that, but about 2% of it.
	But it didn't have it, and the world didn't recognize it.
	The only thing the world recognized, or some of the world recognized, was Crimea, right there.
	Now, that wasn't hard, because Crimea wanted to be...
	Of all the places that Trump has taken, of all the places that Putin has taken, that Trump and the others have disputed, the place that probably would have won a vote for Russia is Crimea.
	When 14 was settled, they had Crimea for sure, and they had...
	I don't know, some kind of control over Donbas, which is up here, and this region.
	But they didn't have official control of it.
	And what Putin has always wanted, what Putin has always wanted, well, he's wanted two things, really.
	He's wanted Crimea back for sure, because Khrushchev gave it away to Ukraine.
	Although he didn't really give it away to Ukraine.
	Ukraine was a state of the Soviet Union.
	You'll notice, you've all heard of Chernobyl, right?
	Chernobyl is the one really, even worse than Three Mile Island, the worst nuclear power failure ever.
	Three Mile Island, no casualties.
	This place, lots of casualties because of the way it was handled.
	You will notice that Chernobyl is in Ukraine.
	See it right there?
	Just inside.
	Just inside Ukraine.
	Which is going to become very important now because Ukraine gave up its nuclear weapons, which I think they now regret.
	But they did keep their nuclear reactors.
	And they got a couple of them, not just this one, and I won't show you where the others are, unless the map does.
	I'm not sure.
	I hope it doesn't.
	Well, in any event.
	So... As soon as Trump was gone and he had a cowardly president who had sold himself out to their ally, China, and had proven himself to be the most cowardly American president ever by leaving Americans behind and others in Afghanistan,
	one of whom was saved today by Trump, by the way, Putin invaded.
	And he took everything that he had, solidified it, and took 2% more.
	And he created himself what we call a land bridge from Russia to Crimea.
	Right? Land bridge.
	What he really wanted to do, people say, is take all of Ukraine.
	I'm not sure if he were that ambitious.
	I do know this is what he really wanted.
	Thank you.
	That's what he really wanted.
	Now, what would that achieve that what he has doesn't achieve?
	It would give him a little more.
	Right now, with what he has, he has one-third of the precious minerals that are so valuable.
	Ukraine has two-thirds.
	If he does that, he goes about half and half.
	So the value goes up tremendously.
	He gets the second most profitable city in Ukraine, Kharkov, which everything he's done, it has eluded him.
	Being able to capture it, which I'm very proud of because I work there.
	And then by going down here, and I would say here eventually, he cuts Ukraine off from the sea.
	So he hasn't been able to do that.
	He has done quite a bit of damage, however, right?
	He's taken 20% of the land.
	He's taken a third of the mineral wealth, which is all up in this Donbas region, which you hear about a lot.
	Maybe you'd like to know where it is.
	It's up there or even a little further down there.
	And the Ukrainians, rather than trying to get that back, did something very smart, I think.
	They went and took this area of Russia.
	I made it bigger, so you can see it.
	Kursk is about the size of New Jersey, the part they took.
	They waited, waited, waited, waited, didn't say yes to the deal right away, and now Putin may have taken it back.
	The reports are contradictory.
	There's no doubt he's taken a lot of it back.
	Question is, is he taking the city, the main city back?
	And we don't know that, and...
	It has a little significance symbolically because it gives him something.
	It gives him this, right, to give Putin to get some of this back.
	Putin is not going to give up the bridge, but he is likely to give up maybe some of that, maybe some in here, as long as he has his nice little path to Crimea.
	I think that's a possibility, and that's what they'll be working on.
	Here's the tragedy, and here a pox on both their houses.
	The reality is that neither Zelensky or Putin have any regard for the lives of people.
	If Zelensky had regard for the lives of his people, he would have begun this quest a year and a half ago when it was impossible for Ukraine to do any better, right after he had captured Kursk.
	And if Putin had any regard for the lives of his people, he'd have done a straight-out ceasefire.
	What the hell is he going to accomplish by taking Kursk?
	So he gives up a little land.
	He gives up a little land.
	He has 18% of Ukraine instead of 20%, and people are alive who are now dead.
	The only person that is concerned about it and is concerned about it to the point of, I would say, obsession, and he should be.
	It's President Donald J. Trump and Marco Rubio and the good, solid, wonderful people of our government.
	And for that, all the criticism of them should be stuffed up your face.
	They're the only ones caring about peace.
	And the guy you had there before, he got them all killed.
	If it wasn't for him, none of them would be dead.
	Trump has also added to his financial involvement with Ukraine.
	A very, very smart proposal, and that is to co-own and co-run the nuclear reactors.
	Russia's not going like that.
	Uh-uh.
	Gee, maybe every other day you add something like this, Mr. President, and the tough murderer will back down.
	Now it becomes very, very hard for them to do anything with those nuclear reactors, doesn't it?
	Unless they want to deal with the United States.
	I'm going to tell you, all the bluffing aside, all the kidding aside, all the posturing aside, Russia doesn't want to deal with the United States.
	They had trouble dealing with Ukraine.
	Didn't they?
	Okay. Trump, again, as he promised, has now...
	Significantly added to the sanctions that are already crushing Iran, and he has reinstated all of the sanctions that would do everything that it can to prevent China from getting oil from Iran,
	which would cut out pretty much their last customer.
	They have these...
	Laundered purchases.
	They call them teapot refinery purchases.
	Seems like we've identified all of them pretty damn effectively.
	We've identified all of the purchases, and we now have put sanctions on, oh, at least $500 million more worth of oil.
	That'll be stopped.
	So we're on our way to bankrupting Iran like we did.
	When Trump left office, and now there isn't Biden around to give him $100 billion.
	So this could make a difference.
	These sanctions are on 19 different entities, and they ship millions of barrels of Iranian oil every day.
	They're part of the shadow fleet that's been operating under our watchful eye.
	Watchful eye.
	If you haven't figured out that Obama and Biden were working for the Ayatollah, who the hell gives cash to a...
	Well, they are drug dealers, too.
	But who the hell gives cash to a country that supports terrorists?
	A person who supports terrorists.
	That's your former president, Prince Obama.
	I sent him cash.
	Until he got caught.
	It's like sending cash to Ben Laden, isn't it?
	Tell me the difference.
	I want you to tell me the difference.
	I'll try to listen.
	You tell me the difference between Ben Laden and the Ayatollah in terms of killing innocent people.
	Mmm, the Ayatollahs kill more.
	That's the difference.
	How about killing Americans?
	Ayatollahs kill more.
	How about when Obama was sending that money in cash, do we usually send, do you think we send money in cash to Britain or Israel?
	We do it by wire?
	Why would, like when we release the money that we have frozen, which we never should for Iran, that money should only be released when the country becomes free.
	But, I mean, they've released hundreds of billions of it, the supporters of Iran, Obama and Biden.
	But they released that by wire.
	Why did he accede to the request to send the Ayatollah cash in the hundreds of millions?
	Who uses cash?
	Crooks? Mafia?
	Drug dealers?
	Oh. Terrorists.
	Ah. Gee, Prince.
	You ever think you were giving money to terrorists?
	Oh. And in that period of time when you were giving that money, who were the terrorists killing off?
	Your soldiers.
	Oh, maybe I should say American soldiers, not your soldiers.
	You want to know why I think he belongs in jail?
	That's why I think he belongs in jail.
	What a mockery Prince Obama is.
	What a mockery.
	The guy made cash available to people who kill Americans.
	And Israeli once told me when I said about Obama, well, you just don't know what side he's on.
	He said, I know what side he's on.
	100%. So do you.
	Well. A Chinese spy was sentenced to two years in prison for spying for China and pushing a dissident to return to the country to face the communist wrath.
	Two years in prison?
	Are they kidding?
	Kwan Zong An, a 58-year-old man from Roslyn, Gonna serve 20 months.
	He pushed a resident and his family to go back to China, where they would face an unknown fate.
	He owns a hotel in Flushing.
	He was involved in Operation Fox Hunt, an espionage effort to bring Chinese natives back to the Asian country.
	He pled guilty.
	He pled guilty.
	I don't know why he got only two months.
	He had to pay a penalty of $5 million.
	$1.3 million went to the victim.
	And he has a net worth of $44 million.
	You understand this?
	They don't have the courage to identify the judge.
	And it was in the Eastern District of New York.
	And it's the new FBI.
	So I'm going to send this to Kash Patel and say, is it a new FBI yet?
	Two years for pushing somebody back to China?
	We want to win this war with China?
	Meanwhile, China just executed four Canadians for dealing drugs.
	Four Canadian nationals were executed in China for dealing drugs.
	I don't know how many.
	I don't know if it's true.
	I don't know if it's false.
	But that's what they do to drug dealers.
	We give them two years of spying on us.
	Actually, 20 months.
	And we let people sit in Congress who were banging Chinese spies, right?
	Like that pervert bum from California.
	The big liar.
	Or how about Dianne Feinstein, 19 years, with a Chinese operative driving her, and she was on the Intelligence Committee.
	We don't do anything about it?
	Do we want to give ourselves away to China?
	Well, you know that some time ago, almost seems like two years ago, the New York City Council, which Could really be charged as just an illegal enterprise because they follow no rules,
	no constitution, voted to allow non-citizens to vote.
	Now, I know when you first heard that, you had to slap yourself when you woke up in the morning, take a little more coffee and say, why, why, why?
	But you probably didn't know that not only is that totally absurd to allow non-citizens to vote, Because then a country gets voted away.
	You don't have a country anymore, which is what they want.
	But the New York State Constitution, which governs New York, most people think, except the criminals in the city council, has requirements to vote.
	And one of those requirements is you're a citizen of the United States.
	And now all these yahoos are complaining that the Court of Appeals reversed it 6-1.
	I'd like to know how the 1 didn't.
	What if you just amend the Constitution?
	I mean, it's like, it takes two years to figure out.
	The Constitution says you have to be a citizen to vote in New York State.
	They're going to allow you to vote.
	I don't know, that should be like a one-day hearing.
	You want to have non-citizens vote.
	Constitution says you have to be a citizen.
	Case dismissed.
	Or case granted.
	Judgment granted.
	I've got to find this one judge who voted against it.
	Probably like the judges in the District of Columbia.
	You know, what they're like.
	Well, I mean, if we're not in New York, let's go to...
	The dumbest governor in America?
	I don't know.
	It's pretty hard.
	A lot of Democrats, I mean, that Pritzker guy, you can't tell if that Pritzker guy is dumb enough because you can't hear him.
	He's so fat.
	And then you have witless.
	You have witless who...
	Is that who you're saying is the dumbest governor?
	Isn't that, isn't that, isn't that Cackling Camilla?
	That's so cool.
	Oh, well, yeah.
	Oh, that, well, this is.
	That's a congestion pricing.
	Oh, yeah, it is really smart.
	Rally, I suppose.
	I don't know.
	This is really smart.
	So she charges you nine bucks to drive into Lower Manhattan.
	Not nine bucks today, every time you go back and forth.
	So if you got to make like, you have a wedding, you're catering down there, and you got to bring, Five loads of things down there at different times.
	It's going to be nine bucks a shot.
	If you live out of town, you get bombed.
	If you have no other way to get to work but by car, you get bombed.
	The only place in the country that has it, this is all because you can't get the MTA to operate within its means.
	So it's going to...
	It's going to make up for the losses that the subway entails.
	Now, the smarter way to do this is to figure out how to cut the losses of the subway, which would be pretty easy just by maybe cutting the staff by about half.
	Most of the city of New York could be cut in half without any problem.
	I'm going to give you a rough number.
	on, Andre.
	on, Andre.
	I'm just going to write this out for a second.
	I'm going to make you guess.
	Thank you.
	So the first one says $118 million for 22 million people.
	The others has 120 million for 8 million people.
	The top one is the state of Florida and the bottom one is the city of New York.
	So how is the city of New York spending more money on three times less people?
	Quality of the service.
	Really? New York's dirty.
	We got more rats.
	How about this?
	So that's the New York budget, 120.
	You know what the budget of the state is?
	250. What did I say the budget of Florida was?
	118. Florida has 3 million more people than Hochul's New York.
	But New York has much better services than Florida, right?
	No, the schools are worse.
	The subways don't run on time, and they also kill you, which makes you not want to go on them.
	We do have credit cards from illegal migrants that you don't have in Florida, or we used to have.
	I don't have them anymore.
	I left there because of this.
	I'm going to tell you a real simple, we don't have a big, long explanation.
	This happens because New York is thoroughly crooked.
	It's completely dishonest, and everything has built into a kickback money.
	So you buy, Hochul buys COVID tests.
	She spent $600 million.
	California buys the same Hochul tests for $300 million.
	That other $300 million shows up two weeks later in a campaign contribution to it by the company.
	That's my state, former state.
	That's what they do.
	Maybe every state does it.
	New York does it over.
	And over and over and over again.
	I searched the internet the other night and I find that it is alleged that Chuck Schumer is worth somewhere between 50 and 100 million dollars.
	I know Chuck Schumer from the time he was a lowly state assemblyman or whatever the hell he was.
	Chuck Schumer never made 200 grand in his entire life.
	And he's complaining about Musk.
	However Musk made it, he sure didn't make it on government.
	Chuck, your father didn't leave it to you.
	Your wife didn't earn it.
	Your wife worked for me.
	I know how much you made.
	You made a lot of business deals, Chuck.
	You made a lot of business deals.
	And you really want people to believe that.
	It's disgraceful.
	This is why our country is in the shape that it's in.
	We're represented by a large number of crooks, dishonest people.
	They have no concern for you.
	All they care about is the money they get, the preferment they get, how important they are.
	They are sick narcissists.
	And that's why they fought Trump so hard.
	Because he was the only one that really threatened to break it up.
	And he is breaking it up.
	He is breaking it up.
	I thought, well, I shouldn't say this.
	I said this too many times.
	I was going to say I thought I saw everything.
	Now they're attacking Tesla automobiles, Tesla customers, Tesla this, Tesla that, because Elon Musk wants to help the president cut waste fraud and abuse.
	I mean, you've got to be some kind of a real jerk-off to think he's doing it to make money.
	There wouldn't be enough money to make.
	If we ever paid him, we'd have no government left.
	He may be worth more than the government.
	He's certainly more liquid.
	I mean, we usually used to take the view that, you know, we can trust this guy.
	He's so rich, he's not going to steal.
	I don't know.
	I think the richest guy in the world doesn't have to steal.
	I think maybe the richest guy in the world wants a sense of fulfillment, of doing something.
	You could see that in his very, very brave and wonderful attempts to save free speech.
	But what the heck is he doing wrong?
	Look at that.
	And they talk about...
	You ever see the Proud Boys do anything like that?
	Or what's that other...
	The Oath Keepers?
	You ever see that on January 6th in the Capitol?
	No. You saw that all over America from the left wing, didn't you?
	These are the animals that they use.
	And you tell me some of this group isn't supported by the same people?
	I mean, Soros was the biggest contributor in 2020 to all the riots and the numerous fires and deaths that took place.
	He was the biggest contributor to the DAs that let them all go free.
	He was the biggest contributor to Kamala Harris who got him out of jail.
	And he was the biggest contributor to Biden to let him operate for the next four years.
	So this is all by accident?
	Or is this an attempt to take our country down?
	It's an attempt to take our country down.
	And the reason they're going after Musk is because Musk is a very powerful ally for the president.
	Not the same thing they did to me, the same thing they did to Navarro, the same thing they did to...
	To my friend Steve Bannon, the same thing they attempted to do to George Papadopoulos, the same thing they attempted to do to his two sons, the same thing they attempted to do to him.
	They want to bring down anybody around him.
	And they can sometimes succeed, but when they can't, they can deter others from being around him.
	And it is a despicable thing.
	That because the media lets them get away with it, is very, very hard to deal with.
	Because they make it almost seem like it's normal to do that.
	Well, I don't think with this Attorney General that's going to be normal.
	She's already arrested people.
	She says they're going to be charged as terrorists, and they are terrorists.
	The definition of terrorist is to engage in a violent act.
	For the purpose of moving a political issue.
	That's terrorism.
	They're terrorists.
	Whoever does this should go to jail for the rest of their life.
	You catch somebody burning a Tesla automobile, that should be the last time they see sunlight.
	And if they kill somebody, they should be executed.
	Stop it quick.
	So, three people have now been accused by Attorney General Bondi.
	They're facing 20 years in prison for domestic terrorism.
	One is in Oregon.
	That one will have a defense of overwhelmed by cannabis because it's pervasive in the air.
	Adam Matthew Lansky.
	He's allegedly carried a suppressed AR-15 rifle while lobbing eight Molotov cocktails.
	At a Salem Tesla dealership.
	And then he returned before they would catch him again, and he shot out the dealership windows and fired bullets into the car.
	I don't see why this guy gets only 20 years, but okay.
	Then we have another guy, Lucy Grace Nelson.
	Now, I don't know if this is a girl or a boy or one of those, who the hell knows what.
	This is in Colorado, another state where it would be hard to have too many brain cells left by smelling the air.
	Lucy Grace Nelson is 40. Such a person, I can't use a pronoun here because I don't know which one to use.
	I only have two, you know, types, male and female.
	Oh, should I do it?
	Lucy Grace Nelson.
	He's charged with malicious destruction of property after he attempted to light a Tesla car on fire inside the dealership.
	And then he spray painted Nazi cars across a number of the vehicles before they caught him.
	They don't, they...
	See, I bet the writer doesn't know either because I'm trying to look for like a pronoun for Lucy.
	Hey, Luce!
	In Colorado, Lucy Grace Nelson is charged with malicious destruction of property after allegedly trying to light Tesla cars on fire at a dealership in Loveland, 45 miles north of Denver.
	Investigators say Nelson was spray, also spray-painted Nazi cars across the vehicles.
	Well, They better figure out before they figure out which one they put them in.
	In South Carolina, Daniel Clark Pounder, 24, is accused of vandalizing Tesla's charging stations in Charleston and torching them.
	So those are the three that have been arrested.
	It's going on all over America.
	You saw pictures of it.
	This is disgraceful.
	It should stop.
	Lucky we have Trump as a president.
	I think it'll stop quick.
	And what they're doing to Musk proves how insidious and how deep this conspiracy against a lawful America is.
	I, you know, I think I've seen, I don't know if you've ever read Dante's Inferno, but when he gets to the very depth of hell, Of the inferno.
	He has a very hard time seeing all the way down.
	It's like still obscure.
	There's fire and it's still obscure.
	I don't know if we'll ever see all the way down, but we are in hell.
	We're looking at hell.
	Germany, who just had a new election with a guy whose name I screw up.
	I think it's Mursky Mursk.
	Miski, Misk, Miskpoo, Miskipupu, something like that.
	He's the one where he runs the middle-of-the-road right party, which is the old Christian Democratic Party, which is made up of right-wingers and what we would consider aggressive rhinos.
	They got 29% of the vote.
	The very right-wing party, who we consider the MAGA people, got 21% of the vote.
	So now you got 49, 50% of the vote right-wing.
	The left-wing party got 16% of the vote.
	So now you put together a government.
	Who do you put together a government with?
	Well, you cut out the right-wing party, and you do it with the socialist, communist, and the American.
	So that Germany can really go to hell, which it's doing.
	It's declining, declining, declining, and declining even more as it becomes...
	There used to be a split between Catholic and Protestant.
	Pretty soon it'll be an entirely Muslim country, and it'll be governed by Sharia law.
	And this guy is worthless, and he'll be gone soon.
	The new chancellor is completely worthless.
	Completely. Now, he's decided that the right-wing party is a Nazi party.
	See, every right-wing party in Europe is a Nazi party.
	All the Italian parties of Maloney and Even Berlusconi were Nazi parties.
	The party in Republika Srpska, when Ted and I met with Mr. Dodik, he was accused of being a neo-Nazi, except his friends and family were killed by the Nazis, which makes it a little hard, and he's a big supporter of Israel.
	I don't know.
	So suppose he was a Nazi and he converted.
	And now he's guilty and he's a big supporter of Israel.
	I'd rather take him than somebody who wants to kill Jews.
	But he's not.
	These left-wing, useless, lazy bums who run Europe use that the way the Democrat Party uses racism.
	In 1994, I was called Hitler.
	And then when that didn't work, they called me Mussolini because I'm Italian.
	And when that didn't work, they stopped calling me because I just did what I wanted to do.
	And the more they did it, the more I knew I was getting through to them.
	And that's how I changed the city more than any mayor in history.
	You want to look at statistics and dispute me?
	You can.
	I only say that because I'm not bragging.
	I say it because it's the truth, and nobody else will tell you that.
	They keep writing that Bratton invented Comstad and Bratton invented all of the programs that I did.
	It's true, Bratton helped a lot.
	But long before Bratton, I knew exactly what I was going to do.
	I ran the Attorney General's Task Force on Violent Crime.
	A decade before I was mayor and wrote about all these things and how to use them.
	Bratton knew about some of them.
	That's why I hired him.
	But the broken windows theory?
	Somebody just wrote in the post that Bratton did the...
	Broken windows theory predates...
	Bratton may have still been in high school.
	It was done by James Q. Wilson.
	I learned it from him.
	I watched it in two other cities and then I used it in New York.
	But you see, they love, because Bratton is a Democrat and because he leaks, they would try to make him the hero and they'd try to make me the villain.
	But then when Bratton left and crime went down even more, and then when Bernie Kerr came in and crime went down even more, gee, what's the common denominator?
	Well, in any event, they don't know.
	I think our only hope in Europe is definitely Georgia Maloney.
	And I don't know.
	I think she looks...
	I mean, she's a beautiful woman.
	There's no question about it.
	But the poor thing looks like...
	Oh, man, I got a picture up there.
	We're going to use that picture in a minute.
	We'll skip the picture of Georgia.
	Georgia Maloney looks like she has the weight of the world on her shoulders.
	She likes Trump.
	She likes Trump's ideas.
	She's for small government.
	She's for government closest to the people.
	She is a devout anti-communist, big time, pro-religion, all the things that make you a racist in America and a Nazi in Europe.
	And she's trying to hold Europe together.
	I say, let's start a new NATO.
	You don't want to pay?
	You don't want to fight?
	Please, you have to fight also, because France very often doesn't fight when they commit troops.
	Pay, fight.
	And if you don't want to, Germany, build an army.
	Good luck.
	Halfwood in England announced, I'm going to send British troops!
	As peacekeepers!
	And the press said, what troops?
	You don't have any.
	You basically zeroed them out.
	Oh. Hmm.
	Oh. Well, everyone will have free medical insurance.
	Mr. Prime Minister, there's nobody left to have free medical insurance.
	All the people who have free medical insurance have died on a waiting list.
	Oh, but they did have insurance.
	Yeah, yeah, they had insurance.
	They went in with a big tumor, and they were given an appointment in 2045.
	Oh, well, at least they were given an appointment.
	Right? Right.
	Okay. Well, that's Canada.
	That's England.
	That's with these...
	I don't know what they are.
	I mean, I...
	I don't know what they are.
	But Italy is our one hope.
	Hungary. Then we go east and now we got a lot of hope.
	Poland. Czech Republic.
	Slovakia. Slovenia.
	Serbia. Republica.
	Serbska. How about we stick them right in Serbia and get them away from the Muslim government that contributed to people.
	To September 11 to kill us.
	While we're doing favors for them, Marco, will you please take a look at that?
	Because your comms person put out a very favorable text about removing the president of Republika Srpska, which is an American ally, in favor of Bosnia-Herzegovina,
	which is a stronghold for al-Qaeda, ISIS.
	And it's particularly sensitive to me because two of the assassins who came here to kill our citizens came from there.
	And they also cheered the day that it happened.
	And they also cheered when October 7 happened and hate the Jewish people, would like the Jewish people destroyed.
	And the country that you're penalizing...
	Is a big ally of Israel with letters from Bibi thanking them for their support in a difficult environment.
	Can we get on the right side there?
	I know we're just in office and I'm not being overly critical.
	People could miss this, particularly if I think the person who put it out was a Fox reporter, former Fox reporter.
	Now, they're not used to reading.
	No, no, they read.
	I don't mean by reading, I don't mean they're used to reading.
	They read everything.
	They're not used to reading.
	Like, you know.
	Oh, wait now.
	We're taking the side of Bosnia or Herzegovina.
	And they contributed two people to September.
	Wow! And they had a big celebration on October.
	They can't be our friends.
	And they're trying to remove the president of a Christian country.
	Hmm, Muslim?
	Christian. Muslim, a couple people went and killed Americans on September.
	Whole country celebrated the mass killing of Jews and is in favor of the elimination of the Jewish state.
	Oh, the other country?
	The guy has two commendations from Bibi Netanyahu for supporting Israel in difficult times.
	Has a history with a family and relatives who were killed by Nazis, but they call him a Nazi.
	Actually, he's probably one of the most liked politicians, even by the Muslims.
	But now they've turned on him because he's listed some of the illegal practices of their government.
	See, you could have found that out.
	You could have found that out in about 15 minutes of research if you didn't listen to the anti-American communists that inhabit the State Department.
	And since you haven't done what they're doing in the Justice Department, it kicked them out.
	I would suggest a following.
	When the State Department staff advises you, you don't believe it.
	Otherwise, we'll be right back where we were.
	That's what happened to Pompeo.
	Pompeo, except on the two or three things he was interested in, was too afraid to take it on.
	That's why he's not Secretary of State, and you are.
	So, you're doing a good job, but the small things count, too.
	Let's get on the right side.
	Also, would you mind taking a look at all the Christians that are getting killed in Syria?
	And Germany just recognized Syria.
	They are slaughtering Christians in Syria.
	The terrorist government that took over in place of Assad, and I'm glad they got rid of Assad, but I'm not glad that they put in a Sunni terrorist group that now is wiping out Assad's...
	Supporters, the Alawites.
	But also, since they live in and among the Christians, they're doing their job of wiping out Christians, which is, after all, if they are very strict Muslims, part of what Muhammad told them to do.
	Don't ever go for the bullshit that that isn't in the Koran.
	So if you have to, you could try reading that, too.
	But get on the right side, huh?
	Before it's too late, and we don't have a lot of time.
	Okay. Highest price for a team.
	Highest price for a team.
	Ever. American sports.
	Not a lot.
	The Boston Celtics were sold for $6.1 billion.
	And I think I have a list here.
	Let's see if I can find it.
	That's right, Mayor.
	There it is.
	There. The Celtics, $6.1 billion.
	The Washington Commanders, $6 billion.
	Boy, they were overpriced.
	That just happened a couple years ago.
	Yeah, imagine a team named after a prophylactic product, the Commanders.
	Give me three Commanders, please.
	The Chelsea football team.
	The Broncos?
	The Broncos?
	I'm going to stop here and then I'll join the conversations.
	Yes, we're on, Mayor.
	So what you have there are the highest paid...
	Most teams have gone for in American professional sports with the Boston Celtics edging the Washington Commanders by actually half of a...
	Sorry, a...
	$100 million.
	It was actually $6.05 billion.
	So that would be $6 billion and $50 million as opposed to the Celtics.
	So I guess none of the big sports, the big money, the big money sports would be football and baseball, right?
	No, I would say traditionally the big four being football one, baseball, basketball, and...
	Hockey, I would say...
	Yeah, but the drop-off between baseball and basketball is quite a bit.
	Is it?
	I'd be interested in looking at that in recent years with TV deals.
	I first thought that was the Boston Red Sox.
	I said, that can't be.
	I mean, first of all, with the Yankees comes the Yes Network.
	Right, right, right.
	And you're seeing that now...
	And the ballpark.
	That's right.
	The ballpark itself is...
	They own the ballpark now.
	The ballpark itself is worth $3 billion.
	That's right.
	The Yes Network, their share of it is probably worth $100 million.
	That's right.
	And baseball is currently renegotiating some TV deals.
	And ESPN actually just recently dropped MLB.
	And as you mentioned...
	A lot of the baseball TV contracts in the past 30 years have been.
	That's what happened with George Steinbrenner.
	He started it.
	He started the local.
	The network that I used to represent after I left dropped George Steinbrenner, and they wouldn't pay him, so he started his own network.
	Now the network is worth more than the local stations.
	That's right.
	He used to put them on.
	That's right.
	And he also made a lot of other people rich because the Red Sox did the same thing.
	The Dodgers did the same thing.
	A lot of the ball teams now have their own network.
	That's right.
	That's right.
	More valuable than the ball team.
	More valuable than the ball team.
	Well, of course, the difference between football and baseball, football contracts, the NFL contracts, the big broadcast networks.
	The NFL has much more control over the teams than the ML.
	Yeah, through revenue sharing.
	The NFL is much more of a dictatorship.
	Yeah, you could say in some ways more communist.
	In its approach.
	Yeah, and also anti-American.
	Yeah. Much more anti-American.
	Through revenue sharing that, but it also, in a way...
	It also has the biggest fissy anti-American in the history of sports running it.
	Roger Buble.
	Roger Buble.
	Yeah. Well, what does that mean when they put the words end racism in the end zone?
	As if anyone...
	They put it in big letters, end racism.
	It's like, what?
	As if anyone's, like, on the other side of that.
	Why the hell any football player wants to play for him?
	I have no idea.
	He's total antithesis of a football team.
	Well, I think they sometimes speak out.
	The owners love him because he does anything they want.
	Yeah. And he's made them a good deal of money.
	He has made them a fortune.
	Well, you could argue the players have made the money on the field.
	The players have made a lot of money, too.
	They've all made money.
	But anytime they can, they poke at the United States.
	Totally. I mean, the only place they'd make this money is here.
	Right. So, and then, the worst, I shouldn't really have to go after Goodell.
	The worst is the NBA.
	They should actually be considered a subsidiary of the Chinese Communist Party.
	Right, that's right.
	And barred from playing in the United States.
	They don't really play basketball anyway.
	They just bang each other around and step on each other.
	I mean, it isn't even basketball.
	It's much better watching the college players play than watching them play.
	I got tired of watching them play.
	Who's that?
	The NBA, I mean.
	And a lot of people have their ratings are down big.
	Too many three-point shots.
	Well, I think it's down big, too, because the sense is, particularly when every time someone comes up with China, they defend China.
	They defend China and hate on Trump.
	They love to lecture us on...
	You know, that coach for the Spurs.
	He's a big anti-Trump guy.
	Popovich. Oh, right.
	He's written several really, really good books on political science, right?
	Yeah. He's a real expert on foreign policy?
	I would say he's an expert on basketball.
	And as of now, that's the only thing I've heard him, you know, I've seen, the only thing he's demonstrated any knowledge on.
	Is the sport of basketball.
	He has won a lot of games.
	He has won a lot of games.
	He feels that qualifies him to tell us how to vote.
	Who does he coach?
	San Antonio Spurs.
	Who, from a sports perspective, throughout his time as coach, regularly have played well and won a number of championships through different, I guess you could say, I wouldn't say eras,
	but... Different time periods.
	Every four or five years, he would win one.
	That's really good.
	I'm really excited.
	You're real impressed, right, Mayor?
	Well, I mean, I used to be a very, very big Nick fan in the era of Walt Frazier and Dave DeBuscher.
	They were a very good team.
	Oh, God, Willis Reed.
	I think four are in the Hall of Fame.
	Certainly Reed, Frazier, DeBuscher, and Bradley.
	Are in the Hall of Fame.
	We're going back to the what, 60s?
	Pearl Monroe, who played in the second group of those teams.
	He used to be their adversary with the Baltimore team.
	The Knicks and Baltimore would always be the two final teams in the East.
	Right. Playing off to usually play the Lakers.
	Right. And the Knicks won like three or four of those.
	Baltimore won it once too.
	They had Wes Unseld, who would go up against...
	Willis Reed, and they had Earl the Pearl, who would go up against Frazier, and Frazier was the best defensive player in the league by far, and Monroe was the most prolific shooter up to that point in basketball.
	In basketball.
	And he was a weird shooter.
	He could shoot from any position, from any point.
	He could sit on the ground and shoot.
	Right. I mean, he'd go in between him and go like that and put it in.
	And then he got traded to the Knicks.
	So how about this?
	And they were considered enemies, but they really weren't.
	I mean, they were enemies in the sense that the games between them always came down to the last minute or overtime.
	And the two of them would have to face off against each other, one guarding the other.
	And Frazier won his fair share of them, although Monroe won his.
	And for some reason, the Knicks made a trade.
	And the Knicks fans and the sports writers said, how can these two guys be on the same team?
	First of all, they've been enemies for seven or eight years.
	Second, their style of basketball is totally different.
	Frazier plays a very disciplined team game, a very disciplined defensive game.
	Frazier was like a backcourt man, like...
	Like Russell on the Celtics was a center.
	He never shoot unless he had to.
	So here's what happened.
	In the first championships the Knicks won in the sixth game, their center, who really was the reason they were able to beat Los Angeles, Willis Reed, who defended Chamberlain.
	And Willis Reed was the only guy strong enough to defend Chamberlain.
	Of course, he was as strong as Chamberlain, if not stronger.
	Smaller, but unbelievably powerful.
	In the sixth game, he got injured.
	Couldn't walk.
	So now we come down to the seventh game, Madison Square Garden.
	Nick Center is gone.
	Dave DeBuscia has to move to center or somebody else.
	Nate Stallworth or someone.
	Which would have been okay normally during the season.
	But if you're playing Chamberlain, you had to have the big guy.
	Because he was the only guy who could neutralize.
	And Frazier was the defensive guy.
	Well, the long and short of it is, Reed comes out, goes in and plays.
	The guard goes nuts seeing him come in, limping.
	Scores two baskets, limping.
	Sits down.
	And Walt Frazier proceeds to score 41 points against Jerry West.
	I don't think he'd ever scored 41 points in his life.
	But all of a sudden, he showed you what a great offensive player he could be if he had to take over for the boss.
	A lot of those players.
	Then they had Cassie Russell, who was an unbelievable shooter.
	Dick Barnett used to love that team.
	Right. And then I went all the way through the 90s era with the Knicks, and then they started to get stupid, crazy trades.
	So now what's going on in basketball?
	Well, that's right, Mayor.
	Now that you bring that up, let's bring up our brackets.
	We're on a second night of the...
	We're on a second night.
	You have correctly chosen 19 of the...
	Sorry, 18 of the 24 games thus far.
	We'll bring up...
	You mean I've...
	Picked 18, right?
	That's right.
	But I can't win if I pick any wrong, right?
	I mean, you don't win.
	Here's your board.
	Or do you win if you are the closest?
	Well, here's yours.
	Does anybody ever pick them all right?
	I don't know if it's ever happened yet.
	I think the odds are very one in many billions of doing that.
	But here we have yours.
	This is Mayor Giuliani's bracket up on the screen.
	He's got St. John's going all the way.
	But as of now, as of about...
	That's a bit of an hour ago.
	I would say as of about an hour ago.
	Can you make that full screen?
	As of about an hour ago, Mayor, you are 18 for 24 with eight games left.
	When is St. John's playing?
	They won and they'll play again on Saturday.
	Who are they playing?
	And they will play on Saturday, Arkansas.
	Arkansas, who I believe is now coached by John Calipari.
	John Calipari, of course, coached at Kentucky and is considered one of the great coaches.
	And then Rick Pitino.
	So that'll be quite the matchup.
	I'm sure Calipari and Pitino have faced each other a lot.
	That's right.
	I believe they did.
	And I believe they faced off in the famous final in 2007.
	Patino coached Kentucky to a championship.
	That's right.
	They both have, I believe.
	That's amazing.
	I don't know if they put coaches in the Hall of Fame before they retire, but those are two Hall of Fame coaches.
	Oh, big time.
	Big time.
	And what Patino's done with St. John's is unbelievable.
	I mean, St. John's has a...
	Good, good basketball history of the New York schools.
	I mean, back in the 40s and 50s, the New York schools were great.
	Before gambling.
	Before the scandal, the great scandal.
	And then they all fell apart.
	I mean, a few hung on.
	So when I was in college, Manhattan College got into the Final Four twice.
	Since I've been out of college, probably four times.
	But they never get past two or three.
	So we're going to take a short break.
	and we will be back very quickly.
	Here we are, pretty much at the beginning of the process here at this pristine, I call it a laboratory.
	It's not like a factory, it's like a hospital.
	This is the beginning of the process for roasting.
	Deep grain, very good quality.
	Most people don't use this quality.
	We deal with small farmers because they like to know who we're dealing with.
	They give us the highest quality, all organic, non-GMO.
	You should know, all Arabica beans, no robusto, all Arabica.
	They're going to go into the roaster and it'll get roasted for about 20 minutes or so.
	Oh my goodness, look at these!
	My goodness!
	Ha ha ha!
	You're gonna want to specially order these.

	This is Rudy Giuliani, and we're back.
	And before I get to you, I have to tell him this so I don't forget.
	Remember I told you a couple of nights ago that there's a terrible virus in China, and that there are all kinds of reports of crematoriums being filled up, which,
	by the way, I think the proper Latin is crematorium, but that's all right.
	Well, how would the Chinese know the proper Latin?
	And also, there are funeral homes that are...
	A month, two months behind.
	The latest report or increased deaths amid continuing...
	This is from the Epoch Times.
	If you ever want to know what's going on in China, get the Epoch Times.
	They know what's going on in China.
	Amid continuing distrust of the Chinese regime's data on infectious diseases and vaccination deaths, anecdotal reports from residents and healthcare professionals across China suggest an unusual number of deaths among millennials this winter season.
	Beijing's National Bureau of Statistics...
	Does not regularly publish data.
	We'll get you the details over the weekend when we get a chance to make some calls.
	But apparently, can't confirm it, but all of the signs are, including some satellite observations of very large crowds around burial places, that a lot of people are dying in China.
	Maybe they're just killing their people.
	Scary stuff.
	Introduce yourself.
	I'm Leo Fusegis, an attorney in the Boston area.
	I've been up since 3 o'clock in the morning making my way over to West Palm.
	From where?
	I'm in Massachusetts.
	Originally from Rhode Island.
	Born and raised.
	Bryant Bulldogs are playing tonight, my alma mater.
	The accent came out.
	I don't know if I have an accent.
	They are playing Tom Izzo and the Michigan State Spartans.
	Go Green!
	Go Green!
	And these two guys here are Michigan State fans.
	I did not know that.
	I just felt that out five minutes ago.
	When we were talking about the bracket, they didn't say anything.
	In basketball, of course, I root for my college, Manhattan College.
	But in football, I'm a Notre Dame fan.
	There you go.
	But I am, of course, a Yankee fan.
	Well, first and foremost, thank you for having me.
	Oh, you're welcome.
	And I have to tell you, I've been sitting here for about a half hour listening to you.
	Your retention is unbelievable.
	I don't know how you do it.
	You have retained information and you are...
	It's incredible.
	Go get the Reese coffee.
	Is that the reason why?
	I like it when we show the whiteboard.
	Show me your work.
	Oh, my board?
	Yeah. Where's my board?
	Someone stole my board to see if I can remember it.
	This is part of the cognitive.
	Since it happened to Biden, they're all worried that I'm going to, you know, my cognitive.
	So they do take a sniff.
	So my retention is going to multiply?
	Watch this.
	You're going to become like a dynamo.
	That's good stuff.
	Even more of a dynamo.
	We can't even contain you now.
	Right. I'm going to have an all-nighter now.
	Remember what I told you on the other show?
	Every morning, every morning, before I drink it.
	Where's this whiteboard?
	How many cups a day?
	I actually do about two or three.
	I usually do...
	Cream and sugar, or you just take it black?
	Since I started making my own coffee, because these are coffee beans, which led me to this.
	Since I started making my own coffee about six years ago, I have not once used sugar, sugar substitute, or cream, because the taste is so much better, particularly when you have Arabica, particularly when you have Arabica beans.
	Those are the much better beans.
	They're not...
	They don't have that acidic taste.
	Have you ever had Turkish coffee?
	Or Greek coffee?
	Yeah, I've had all of it.
	That's like rocket fuel.
	But, again, they have two levels of beans also.
	So you've got to get the beans that are grown higher up on the mountain.
	That's secret.
	And are cured better.
	That's the secret.
	That's the secret.
	And that will make...
	That will take a Greek coffee and make it superb, or it'll be a Greek coffee like you have in the diner.
	In most diners in America, you're having Robusto, which is a very cheap bean, and it's the reason why sometimes you get a sour stomach when you smoke.
	Yeah, well, also when you smoke a cigar, but I'm willing to take it.
	But it's the Arabica bean that's the key.
	And you'll look at a...
	So, this says All Arabica.
	But you look at a coffee brand like Oro, which is an Italian.
	Lavazza makes Oro.
	Lavazza is one of the big...
	It is.
	It's very good.
	All Arabica.
	Now, you get the All Arabica one and get the other one, and you'll see a very big difference.
	It is very good.
	So, tell us what you specialize in and what you'd like to talk about.
	So, I specialize in...
	What should we question you about?
	Say it again?
	What should we question you about?
	Everything and anything.
	About life.
	About what makes the world go around.
	He's a Boston sports fan.
	I am.
	So, I mean, that's a good place for a New Yorker.
	I haven't paid sufficient attention, and I feel bad to...
	Well, you know what?
	I want to get your opinion on spring training.
	Except that I know that the Yankees have a lot of injuries.
	They do.
	But I want to get your opinion on something.
	A number one pitcher.
	Eric Cole.
	I mean...
	Tommy John.
	So, I want your opinion on the new...
	Beard rule change.
	I don't know if you've spoken out about this, but as a traditionalist, I feel like you should be a little offended.
	I'm against it.
	I thought so.
	I kind of like the idea.
	See, if I played for the Yankees, I think I should shave.
	I should be clean shaved.
	I mean, I don't care in other circumstances, but...
	It was like a tradition for the Yankees.
	I hate giving up traditions.
	The Yankees, the Red Sox, the Dodgers, have been pretty good about maintaining their uniforms.
	The Dodgers have changed a little, and the Red Sox have changed a little.
	They have.
	It's obviously for money, but there's now a kind of like a subway jersey that the Red Sox have been wearing.
	It's marathon colors, which is a nice touch.
	It is bright yellow with blue.
	The Yankees stuck for the longest time.
	Pinstripes, white, gray.
	It's like you're wearing a business suit on the field.
	Same uniform.
	Same uniform that Joe DiMaggio wore, Babe Ruth wore.
	Now, they still basically have the same uniform.
	They only have two.
	They don't have like three or four like the Mets have.
	The Mets have about four or five uniforms.
	But they do go into the...
	When the Major League Baseball requires it, they have to wear the...
	Whatever stupid thing.
	The old uniform.
	They do that three or four times a year so they can sell it.
	That's exactly right.
	Same thing in the NBA.
	When I was listening to you talking about the Yankees, it sparked in my head.
	I'm like, there's no chance he likes this new rule about the beards.
	No, no.
	I got all upset when the Yankees paid tribute to Black Lives Matter.
	I went nuts.
	I said my friend George would be turning over in his grave if he knew that.
	George Steinbrenner was born on the 4th of July.
	Were you guys very close?
	Yeah. We were good friends.
	And so was Trump.
	Trump is a very good friend of his.
	And he was a very, very patriotic guy.
	And for all of his stuff around him, he was a very charitable and a very good man.
	But boy, was he patriotic.
	So he invented the seventh inning God Bless America.
	Really? And he did it on September.
	The first game they were back after September 11th.
	You threw out the first pitch one, right?
	After? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	So he got the idea that they should, instead of just doing, take me out to the ballroom, they should do God Bless America.
	And now it's done all of the baseball in the seventh inning.
	And we also do Sweet Caroline.
	It's eighth inning.
	Right after, yes, correct.
	Your seventh inning, you do God bless America, and then you do Sweet Caroline.
	Is that for Caroline Kennedy?
	Well, that I don't know.
	I believe it was, but also the Yankees are changing something, too.
	Now, if they lose, they're not playing New York, New York after the ballgame.
	Play nothing?
	I think they're going to be playing something random, but only if they win, they're playing New York, New York.
	Another change.
	Yeah. You know, one or two times they had someone other than Frank Sinatra sing it, and they got, like, tremendous.
	Well, when you, I mean...
	Liza Minnelli.
	The song was not originally a Frank Sinatra song.
	I didn't know that.
	It comes from a movie with Liza Minnelli, and she is the original person to sing it, who was a good friend of his.
	Liza Minnelli, and he had the same agent.
	And so she gave him the song to sing, and then it just became so much more famous.
	By him.
	And the Yankees played it so often that one time they decided they'd try somebody else.
	They were pissed.
	The fans started booing, going crazy.
	Then they had to get rid of Kate Smith.
	She originally would do God Bless America because she had some kind of anti-Semitic episode 2,000 years ago.
	So they had to get rid of her.
	So now God Bless America is done by a whole group of different...
	And very often it's done live.
	They'll bring down a veteran.
	Which is fantastic, yeah.
	You see, baseball, I think, has always been the most patriotic sport.
	The one that has always, even though football is now more popular, baseball is always thought of as the American sport.
	I think so, absolutely.
	Even from someone who's first generation Greek and growing up in this country, I actually have a very funny story.
	My dad, who knew nothing about sports when he first came here, I was trying out for Little League.
	He got me...
	He's like, you're right-handed, right?
	So he got me a right-handed glove.
	So I show up.
	I show up for tryouts Little League.
	And literally, I'm going, ugh!
	I'm literally going, ugh!
	And catching with my right.
	And the coach is coming over.
	He's like, son, do you have the right...
	Glove? You're a right-hander, right?
	I'm like, yeah.
	So embarrassed.
	Dad, God bless you if you're listening, but you embarrassed me at 11, 10, whatever I was, 9 years old.
	I'll never forget that.
	Too bad you didn't learn how to throw that way.
	You could have thrown both ways.
	Okay, here's a question.
	Since we're going to do a little sports.
	Sure. And we have a so-called sports expert.
	Is he?
	Is he a whiz?
	He says so.
	Ted. We know there are switch hitters, right?
	There have been a fair number of switch hitters.
	Not that unusual.
	Hit right, hit left.
	We know there are guys that throw right and bat left.
	Yogi Berra was one, by the way, just to think about a great one.
	Do we know anybody that threw left and batted right?
	Threw left, batted right.
	I can't think of anyone.
	I'm sure there was.
	Couldn't Otani?
	I think Otani might be able to.
	He might be able to.
	I think, I believe so.
	That's what I was getting to.
	Is there anybody that can throw both ways?
	I believe Otani can.
	Anybody that can throw left and right?
	I think so.
	No, I think there is.
	I think the Yankees in the minor leagues had a pitcher that could throw left and right.
	You would know before me.
	I think.
	Does he ever have a pitcher that could throw left and right?
	Yes. And did he make it to the major leagues?
	I don't think this guy made it to the major leagues.
	And then what would the rules be?
	In other words, the bat is up, I'm throwing left.
	Can I, in the middle, switch it to my right hand and throw right?
	I don't think that would be fair.
	You'd have to make a choice which way you're going to throw to that batter.
	That would still give you an advantage.
	But I think before the game.
	That has to be declared before I've started.
	Before the game, you have to say I'm throwing right or I'm throwing left?
	I would think so.
	I don't necessarily think you can switch in.
	First of all, find out for me if there ever has been one.
	Okay. See, you didn't know that.
	That would be good trivia.
	I have a vague recollection that there have been a couple of guys that can throw left and right, but I don't know if...
	I'm sure there have been guys that can throw left and right, but I don't know if there's ever been one that has made it to the major leagues.
	Let's see.
	Let's see.
	And if the Major League has a rule on it.
	It's a good question.
	So I also have something for you.
	Yeah. It's kind of a big deal.
	I see a baseball there.
	So as a thank you, obviously, for having me tonight and coming all the way from Boston.
	So my background is with my practice, I have...
	We do real estate.
	We do business.
	We do contracts.
	We do some sports stuff.
	And one of my clients who became family was Louis Tian, who just passed in October.
	Oh, I'm sorry.
	Yeah. Great pitcher.
	Unbelievable pitcher, man.
	And he actually spoke to me about you, even though he was a Democrat.
	And I don't think he knew any better.
	Was Louis Dominican or Mexican?
	Cuban. Oh, Cuban.
	Cuban. He was a Democrat.
	Yes, Cuban.
	Remarkable story, and he would always say to me that his dad actually was a better player than he was, but he never had the opportunity to play in the majors.
	Former Yankee.
	And Red Sox, right?
	Of course, yeah.
	He's in the Red Sox Hall of Fame.
	There's a huge argument that he should be in the Baseball Hall of Fame, but he is not yet.
	Did he pitch for the Indians, too?
	He did, yep.
	Indians, Pirates.
	Oh, I didn't know the Pirates.
	I wouldn't have thought the Pirates.
	He did.
	He did.
	Towards the end of his career.
	He was a great pitcher to watch.
	He was a sneaky pitcher.
	But honestly, even better, man.
	He would light up the room.
	He would always be giggling.
	Big cigar aficionado like yourself.
	Yeah, yeah.
	He had his own cigar line for a long time.
	Maybe, you know, you guys could have caused dynamite between the coffee and the cigars.
	Forget it.
	Yeah. Do you dip the cigars in your coffee?
	Of course.
	Also in scotch.
	So, just as a thank you for having me on and spending some time with me this weekend, this is...
	So, Louis had given me two baseballs before he passed.
	This is signed by...
	I'm trying to take it.
	There you are.
	It's all yours.
	It's for you.
	This is signed by all...
	Living pitchers who had gave up a home run to Mickey Mantle.
	Wow. Wow.
	So as a big Yankee fan, my mother-in-law who's watching is a Yankee fan.
	My wife is a Yankee fan.
	They're from Bayside, New York.
	And we, of course, butt heads with all the Boston, New York sports.
	So this is a very special baseball that's now yours.
	I can tell you like it.
	I replaced Mickey Mantle in his last game on 9. 28-68 Andy Costco.
	How do you like that?
	That's pretty good.
	Ooh. I gave up Mantle's 500th home run on May 14th, 1967.
	There it is.
	This is the home run right here.
	You guys are good.
	The 500th home run right here.
	For Michigan State guys, pretty good.
	I don't blame you.
	You're right about that.
	Well, my name is Leonidas, so as Spartans, you should be proud.
	Okay, not a cheap one.
	Not a cheap one.
	The Mick hardly could walk then.
	So how about his 536?
	Let's see how quick they can pull up YouTube.
	I gave up a handful of home runs.
	The last home run was on the 536, 520-68.
	526? He was the last pitcher to face Mantle on 526.
	520-68.
	And then on 528-68, he was the last pitcher to face Mickey Mantle.
	So tell us what's on that ball again, Leo.
	What? Tell us again.
	Describe the ball for our audience.
	So the ball is pitchers who have given up home runs to Mickey Mantle.
	And at the time that Louis had given it to me, it was living pitchers at the time.
	Of course, yeah.
	And Jim, I can't make this out, Jim.
	We'll find out when you get out.
	Some of the names are hard to read here.
	But I think you hit the nail on the head.
	I mean, when you're thinking about all things America, baseball is definitely one of the top things on the list.
	I mean, America and their sports.
	He's the guy who gave up the longest home run to Mickey Mouse.
	Oh, really?
	How long did it say?
	It doesn't say.
	But it was in 60. Way back in 60. It's pretty incredible.
	Barney Schultz.
	I gave up Mantle.
	16th World Series home run.
	10, 1064.
	There's the ball right there.
	If you guys get a good look at that.
	That ball has been signed by All Living.
	Unfortunately, we lost your friend and client, Louie, an outstanding player.
	I wonder how Louie got it.
	Did he tell you?
	Signed by all pitchers who have given up a home run to the one and only Mickey Mantle.
	That's the baseball right there.
	We'll get a close-up.
	There it is.
	Wow. Now, when are they saying the longest home run was hit?
	Well, he may be wrong.
	Some of these guys don't.
	Let me find it here.
	Because it is debated online, but many argued that it was hit at Washington.
	Oh, yeah.
	And then now where the stadium once stood now stands a hospital, and they have the home plate marked out in the hospital.
	Oh, no way.
	Yeah, we'll just quickly show that.
	That's the hospital where they have the home plate marked with longest home plate.
	Wow! I didn't know that.
	I go to Yankee Stadium all the time.
	Well, no, that's at a hospital.
	It's the old...
	Is that Yankee Stadium?
	No, that would be...
	Oh, that's the one he hit in D.C.?
	In D.C.?
	Yeah. Home of the Washington Senators.
	Griffith Stadium.
	Of course.
	Of course.
	Oh, now it's in Howard.
	Oh, I lived right near there.
	You know, he hit a big one in Detroit, too.
	That's right.
	At Tiger Stadium?
	Hit one out.
	It would have been...
	Not too many balls were hit because of that thing there.
	They get caught up in the thing that he went over and out.
	You know what he never did?
	He never hit one out of Yankee Stadium.
	Nor did anybody else in the history of baseball.
	Do you miss the old Yankee Stadium?
	No one's ever hit a ball out of Yankee Stadium live.
	In one of those all-star game home run contests, they thought that McGuire hit a couple out.
	But they actually were up in the...
	They found them.
	They were up in the lights.
	They hit the lights and came down.
	But nobody's ever in a live game, or I think in batting practice, hit one out.
	I think that's another good trivia.
	Man will hit one up to the second row at the top, which had it been over, about five feet would have gone out.
	If they had a cup of your coffee, they would have hit it out.
	Yeah. If he hadn't told it as much.
	So the way the old Yankee Stadium was, it's different than the present one, but there were these big two upper deck up here and an upper deck over here, and then this was sort of open.
	So he hit it here.
	Had he hit it here, it would have gone out.
	That's what I'm talking about.
	But we're looking at the other side now.
	We're looking at the right field side.
	No, you're looking at Washington now.
	You're not looking at Yankee Stadium.
	Briggs. Oh, that's Detroit.
	Oh, sorry, Rob.
	That's Detroit.
	Detroit. That's Detroit pre-1961.
	But where's the...
	We have Yankee Stadium.
	Where's the railing that came down?
	At Briggs?
	Yeah. The Tigers played in a stadium where on the right field, up a deck...
	We're talking about Tiger Stadium.
	Oh, this is good.
	We're talking about Tiger Stadium, which is about 1960 to 1999.
	Oh. What are we looking at here on...
	The mayor, I think, wanted...
	Here's the one we're looking for.
	We're looking for his...
	You want his last home run?
	9-20-68. 10-20-68.
	you.
	Now, I'm looking for the one with the longest.
	Longest home run was on 9, 10, 60. Want to try that?
	So Mantle was really the first player.
	I'm sure there were players that used to hit home runs really far, but they didn't use to measure them.
	But Mantle was the first one where they started talking about tape measure home runs, you know, and, and, and, and, and.
	He would, in a ballpark, he was the only one to hit the ball out of the ballpark.
	Now we've got a couple like that, right?
	I mean, you've got a couple of ballparkers.
	Ohtani is like, well, not actually Ohtani.
	He's a home run hitter.
	Judge is really...
	Judge Soto.
	Are the ones who can really hit it a ton.
	So this is the alleged flight path of the longest home run on September 10th, 1960.
	That's it.
	Right here.
	Right here.
	But it didn't go out of the ballpark.
	It didn't.
	It hit the top there.
	So this is a...
	This is disinformation?
	Absolutely. But that's not Yankee Stadium.
	Yes, it is.
	That's the old Yankee Stadium.
	Is it?
	That's the one I remember as a baby.
	That's before...
	There are...
	How old are you when you entered your first...
	There are three Yankee Stadiums.
	There's the original Yankee Stadium built in 21-22, the house that Ruth built.
	There's the second one rebuilt in the early 70s.
	And I'll show you.
	It's like a bowl.
	It's the one in the...
	It should be the one in the far right down there at the bottom.
	But you notice the difference?
	Yankee Stadium had a roof.
	Yankee Stadium had a roof.
	So if you look at the first Yankee Stadium on the left, they hadn't built it out yet, right?
	But they still had the roof.
	Then I think the second Yankee Stadium would be the Probably be the one on the right.
	Notice the roof is built out a little more.
	Then the third Yankee Stadium, which would be in the corner left, the roof is built out even further.
	Right below both of those roofs are the bullpens.
	So if you sat in those seats up there, you could look down into the bullpen.
	And the home run...
	That I remember being the longest, which is not that one, is one that was hit just a little shy of the opening, but high enough so it would have gone out.
	But it hit the back of the roof.
	Now show us that other one.
	This is very important that we get this right.
	I hope you're interested.
	That is very, very ridiculous.
	He never hit one that far.
	But that's not Yankee Stadium.
	What am I talking about?
	Yeah, okay, that's not Yankee Stadium.
	Hey, dopey.
	I was trying to mention that, but you shot me down.
	I didn't think it was.
	I'm sorry.
	I think that's the one that was to him specifically.
	Paul, can you make out the name?
	Can you tell who gave up that home run on 9-10-60?
	We can't read his name.
	Paul. 9-10-60.
	Nicky Mantle.
	Home run.
	9-10-60.
	September 10th.
	So how old were you when you went to your first Red Sox game?
	I mean, Yankee game.
	The Detroit Tigers.
	Left-handed pitcher Paul Foytek.
	I remember.
	There you go.
	Well, I will tell you, the first game I went to, someone very kindly got me the scorecard many, many years later because I remembered it and I described it in a speech in New Hampshire.
	And I said that my first game, the Yankees play the Red Sox.
	And it was a game in which Joe and Dominic DiMaggio both played.
	And when they got up, They both hit singles to each other.
	Oh, really?
	Very first time at the plate.
	And the Yankees won.
	Because of course they did.
	And I seem to remember that Ed Lopat was the pitcher.
	I'm not sure I remember it right away.
	So this guy came up to me and he said, you know, I'm a baseball trivia genius or whatever.
	I'm going to find that for you.
	So he goes through the two seasons.
	Was it 50 or 50?
	51. Luckily for me now, DiMaggio, both of them were injured at various times during those two seasons.
	So there were a lot of times when the Yankees faced the Red Sox that Dominic didn't play.
	And a lot of times when the Yankees faced the Red Sox and Joe didn't play.
	But here was the game in August of 1951, DiMaggio's last year.
	And I was a little wrong.
	Dominic hit...
	A single to Joe the first time he got up.
	And he was the leadoff hitter for the Red Sox.
	So it was the first hit of the game.
	Joe made out the first time and then hit a single to him the second time.
	And the pitcher was at low putt.
	And the Yankees did win close, like 5-3.
	So he went back and searched around and searched around and he found somebody with a scorecard.
	And I have the scorecard.
	Wow. But the retention of how you remember how all this went down is crazy.
	I remember that forever.
	I mean, it was my first game at Yankee Stadium.
	And you know what it's like when you first look at a baseball field.
	It's like, I don't know what it's like.
	You just come out and you see all...
	You're in the back and you come out and there it is, the whole stadium.
	It was nothing like it.
	You've been to Fenway, obviously.
	Oh, I love Fenway.
	I think Fenway is...
	Museum? I think Fenway is the most interesting ballpark in baseball, and it has Comiskey Park beat by a lot.
	Over Wrigley?
	Wrigley. Wrigley is too open.
	It's too open.
	It looks like a cow pasture.
	Because it's in the West.
	Fenway reminds me...
	Fenway also reminds me a lot of Ebbage Field, which is where the Dodgers played.
	The Dodgers played in Edmonton Field in the heart of Brooklyn, right off Bedford Avenue.
	And Dodgers Stadium, the balls would fly out of.
	Unlike the Giants played at Polo Grounds with a center field of about 480.
	The Yankees had about 460.
	The Dodgers must have been about 10 feet.
	And particularly for right-handed hitters.
	Because they had a big scoreboard that moved over toward right field, which made it hard for lefties to hit home runs.
	But righties could get a lot of home runs.
	Yankee Stadium was just the opposite.
	Yankee Stadium was built for Babe Ruth, for lefties to get home runs.
	So when they played each other, it was very interesting.
	But the Yankees were better designed to play in a ballpark going both ways than the Dodgers.
	The Dodgers would get beaten by the Yankees consistently.
	Because all their right-handed hitters would hit these long home runs, 400 feet, and DiMaggio and Mantle go catch them.
	And you could see them banging their bats down.
	So then in 1977 and 78, when the Yankees and the Los Angeles Dodgers played, and I went to the first game, one of the Fairley gets up.
	Power hitter for the Dodgers, and he hits one about 400 feet in Yankee Stadium.
	And Mickey Rivers goes and catches it.
	And I say, we're going to beat them again.
	They're going to do the same damn thing.
	They're going to keep trying.
	They're not going to make it.
	So the Yankees beat them two out of three that time.
	They played three times in that period of time.
	The Dodgers won two, and the Yankees won one.
	Now, last year, we got embarrassed by them.
	I was so embarrassed.
	Losing to the Dodgers.
	Were you pissed?
	Embarrassed. I mean, I grew up beating the Dodgers.
	The year the Yankees lost, the one time they lost, the Yankees beat the Brooklyn Dodgers like seven out of eight times.
	The one time they lost was in 1955, and they revenged in 1956.
	And I thought the world had ended.
	The Dodgers team is incredible.
	There's literally no flaws.
	The World Series was ridiculous.
	It looked like, I mean...
	The Yankees were a hell of a team.
	And I would like to argue Babe Ruth was the worst trade that they've ever made, obviously.
	Second worst trade was Mookie Best.
	It's terrible.
	We traded Mookie for nothing.
	Yeah, you know, you got away with some trades.
	You traded some real sneakers to us.
	Who's the guy that ever played for us?
	What year are you talking about?
	Recently. The guy that never played for you.
	Oh, the outfielder?
	Yeah, yeah.
	He was a good hitter.
	He was part of the Mookie trade, actually.
	Oh, we got him instead of Mookie.
	Great. Obviously, there would have been a riot in Boston if we traded Mookie Betts to the Yankees.
	Why? Did they think he was over?
	I just don't think they wanted to trade him.
	Clemens too fast.
	Well, Clemens...
	Clemens came on his own.
	No, no, but Clemens went to Toronto before he went to the Yankees.
	Correct, but I think it was a free agent contract.
	Oh, he didn't want to stay in Boston.
	I believe so, yeah.
	He won four Cy Youngs after that.
	Did he go...
	Went to Toronto for two seasons and won the Cy Young one once.
	Did he go to the Hall of Fame as a Yankee?
	Hasn't gone to the Hall of Fame yet.
	He hasn't, yeah, you're right.
	Ah, steroid.
	So what do you think of that?
	There was a good article that Bobby Bonds should be in the Hall of Fame.
	Written in the Wall Street chart.
	Barry Bonds.
	You think he should be in the Hall of Fame?
	Barry? Yeah.
	I'm a little biased.
	I was a kid when that was all happening.
	But shouldn't it be?
	I mean, Trump just pardoned Pete Rose?
	Saying that?
	Oh, I would have pardoned Pete Rose, too.
	I thought what they did to Pete Rose was atrocious.
	He bet on his team, man.
	Okay, well, what are we going to do?
	Execute him?
	Betting on your team, you go to jail for two years.
	You go to jail for three years.
	You hold up a store, you go to jail for a year.
	We don't penalize people for life unless it's a horrendous crime.
	Oh, I know.
	I'm agreeing with you.
	You bet for us.
	You never bet on his team to lose.
	Well, we don't know that.
	I mean, he says that.
	We don't know that.
	Let's assume we can't believe him because he bet on his team.
	Look, the biggest argument that you could make in sports, the biggest comparison is right now they're paid much more lucrative than Pete Rose would have gotten paid.
	Right. Not that it's an excuse, not that I'm saying I condone it, but it's like they weren't getting paid what they're getting paid now.
	One of the reasons we have law and equity, right, is because rules are rules, but fairness is fairness also.
	And rules can be sometimes very unfair.
	Now, you want to evaluate the best ballplayer, don't start trying to evaluate the best man.
	Who knows what the rest of them did?
	That were worse than anything Pete Rose ever did.
	And even the guys who took the shit, they hardly, it all began to even know what the hell they were doing.
	And they were doing it to improve performance.
	That's what you're supposed to do.
	It improved the game.
	Yeah, I wouldn't mind seeing them all take that, to be honest.
	I would, and I have a way of handling it.
	Put them in the Hall of Fame with an asterisk that you have to consider that, but don't let them have the records.
	The record should now be judged.
	A modern ballplayer shouldn't be expected to hit, how many home runs did Bonds get?
	73? Without taking that juice, if we take the juice away, in the 130-year history of baseball, only three people have hit 60 home runs or more.
	Babe Ruth, Roger Maris, and Aaron Judge.
	It means it's pretty hard to do.
	Yeah. Now, you hit 60 home runs without the stuff, or you hit 65, you have the record.
	But who's going to hit 73 home runs?
	I don't even think the asterisk should be there, to be honest.
	Keeping the record?
	It's just because, like, if you're putting somebody in with an asterisk, then you begin a conversation.
	Well, he's in, but he has an asterisk.
	I think that's the point.
	It's not the Hall of Fame.
	He should be in the Hall of Fame 100%.
	Without an asterisk.
	The record should be...
	What's an asterisk?
	The next guy who hits...
	I don't know.
	I've forgotten.
	Did Judge have 62 or 63?
	I believe...
	So that's the real record for me.
	You hit 65 home runs, you have the record.
	You can't look at...
	Sammy Sosa wouldn't have hit 20 home runs if he didn't juice up, by the way.
	And Cork is bad.
	Yeah, I mean, Sammy Sosa...
	That home run derby was at Fenway, 98. He was the biggest joke.
	He was the biggest joke.
	Great for baseball.
	Unbelievable for baseball.
	They all were great.
	Mark McGuire.
	Was that great for baseball?
	Yeah, it was.
	It was great at the time and terrible.
	I was a teenager.
	I was 13. The All-Star Game was at Fenway, 98. I blame baseball more than I do the players because baseball should have gotten control of it.
	And baseball should have gotten control of it eight years earlier when they started using it for weightlifting.
	Giambi. Giambi is one of those guys.
	Giambi was like that and his legs were about this big.
	It's like a cartoon character.
	And then like this.
	Canseco? Canseco.
	I think he admitted to something and not everything.
	And then when they stopped using it or it started to create side effects, they fell apart.
	I mean, absolutely fell apart.
	Couldn't do anything.
	So it's a shame.
	It's just a shameful period in baseball.
	But if a guy has a whole career, Around which he played baseball, a lot of it without that, it shouldn't be denied.
	It should be allowed.
	Bobby Bonds was going to be in the Hall of Fame as just a great all-around ballplayer.
	Barry. Barry Bonds.
	Bobby isn't.
	His father was a very good ballplayer, but not quite him.
	A-Rod should be in the Hall of Fame.
	A-Rod had 50 home runs before they ever heard of Juicy as a rookie.
	A-Rod is the only right-handed hitter.
	After juicing, that was the first right-handed hit at 50 home runs in Yankee Stadium.
	Judge has now done it three or four times, but nobody else has.
	Even Joe DiMaggio couldn't do that.
	So, I mean, there's things.
	I also have another pet peeve.
	I think Roger Mara should be in the Hall of Fame.
	I think he doesn't have the career record.
	Close, but he has an achievement that nobody else has.
	In all those years, no one even, you know, when they came two home runs away from Ruth's record, but no one beat it.
	He did.
	He should be in the Hall of Fame for that achievement.
	If you did something exceptional nobody else has ever done, you should be there.
	Or Don Larson, only perfect game in the World Series or playoffs.
	You should be in.
	You can have a special category for that.
	Well... Now that we have solved all the problems of baseball and convinced ourselves that we're scared of the Dodgers, both the Yankee fan and the Red Sox fan.
	That's correct.
	I agree.
	We're both scared of the Dodgers.
	Very good.
	I'm going to have to forget all my years as a Yankee fan.
	They just bought the team.
	We don't spend too much time.
	What's it like being a lawyer in this industry?
	That's got to be quite interesting.
	Well, the industry is very unique.
	It is very competitive.
	It is very unloyal at the same time.
	Sports, I was involved even before I even became an attorney in a marketing level.
	And it's just an interesting dichotomy.
	It's all money, right?
	Yeah. Well, the college aspect is unbelievable.
	I mean, now it's transparent.
	Reggie Bush is a prime example because all these trustees of these major universities were always giving the...
	Ones that had car dealerships were literally giving cars to these players in order for them to...
	I think it's better it's out in the open.
	Absolutely. Of course it is.
	Whether it should happen or not is a different thing, but if it's going to happen, it should be in the open.
	Some of these college players are going to be making big money and being recruited.
	I mean, there's a reason, you know, when you're thinking about being a Boston guy, the best coach that ever came from Boston is now in the college system.
	Right. Bill Belichick.
	Right. Right.
	He's probably a fan of yours.
	He is, and he's a friend.
	Yes. Now, Bill, how do you deal with the Bill and Brady thing?
	Well, I'm a little...
	A lot of people's...
	By the way, I love Bill Belichick for a second reason, which you have to think real hard to figure out.
	So I'm on Belichick's side on this.
	But a lot of people will say that, well, as soon as Brady left...
	I was Team Bill at the time.
	I was, because I was hoping that he would still find success when Brady would have left.
	I think the whole team got old at once.
	Now you could say that.
	Brady was just his mind and his motivation is unbelievable.
	He had them playing over.
	We'll have to see how he does in college.
	Belichick? Yeah.
	It's going to be definitely interesting to see, for sure.
	Now, remember, he was already a famous coach before he became a head coach.
	With the Giants.
	He was a defensive genius with the Giants.
	Lawrence Taylor was his favorite player.
	Lawrence Taylor.
	Oh, really?
	He took Lawrence Taylor and used him, and Lawrence Taylor will tell you this, used him in ways that football players have never been used before.
	When Lawrence Taylor came to the Giants, He was their fastest player.
	Faster than any running back, faster than any wideout.
	He could catch anybody.
	He could play safety.
	He could play linebacker, which is what he was.
	And he could be a defensive end.
	He was strong enough.
	Well, that's what Bill likes.
	He likes flexible.
	And for his first five years, he did that.
	And Belichick would hide him.
	Belichick would use him all different places.
	Just move him around, move him around.
	Giants played a game with the Washington Redskins for the Eastern Division title.
	It was in the Commanders?
	Yeah, the Commanders.
	That's right.
	They tripled him.
	They followed him around the field with three players.
	And Carl Banks had 17 sacks.
	So is Bill Belichick the greatest NFL head coach?
	He has to be.
	I think so, for sure.
	How can you fight it?
	Well, I'm going to go ahead and put a fellow Italian New Yorker in that list.
	You can't make it a different era.
	I mean, Lombardi was an unbelievable coach.
	I mean, yeah, was he as great?
	Yeah, he was as great, but I mean, just on numbers, if you do it on numbers, Belichick.
	Also, Lombardi, very similar.
	Offensive coach for the Giants that won an NFL championship before he went to the Packers.
	Yeah, Mayor, would you leave, imagine in the prime of your career, your profession, his profession, leaving what you consider the greatest city in the world and moving to Green Bay, Wisconsin to take a job.
	And he put Green Bay on the map.
	Why do people know where Green Bay, Wisconsin is?
	It's got a rich history beyond football.
	Let's be honest, right?
	Vincent Lombardi put it on the map.
	Name another head coach that put a city on the map.
	No, no.
	I would say that's right.
	We were all kind of biased.
	We said he was from Michigan, right?
	Yeah. Well, I'll tell you.
	Upper Peninsula.
	Upper Peninsula.
	I've got to show you a map.
	So his great move was to take Horning.
	Paul Horning.
	Who the Packers had drafted number one because he was the Notre Dame coach and the Notre Dame quarterback.
	And the Heisman Trophy winner.
	And they're going to put him at quarterback.
	And then they had this other guy, Bart Starr.
	So before he came to the Packers, the Packers were like 2-10 or 2-12 or something.
	He comes to the Packers and he grabs Horning, who he had watched a lot.
	And he said, you want to be in the Hall of Fame?
	And Horning says, sure, coach.
	He said...
	You think you could trust me?
	I guess.
	Yeah, I don't even know you.
	I said, I'm going to ask for a lot of confidence in you because you should really be a halfback.
	You're a terrific runner.
	I can do an option pass like I did with Frank Gifford with the Giants and won a championship with it.
	They don't even know.
	So it'll take them three years to figure the option pass out.
	He said you can also be a wideout.
	You can also catch passes.
	You can throw one out of four times, one out of five times.
	You can run.
	Oh, by the way, he was also their kicker.
	Horning was there.
	Really? Wow.
	At the beginning.
	Horning one time had the record for the most points in football because he scored as a kicker, he scored as a runner, he scored as a receiver, and he scored as a passer.
	So Bart Starr, he put Bart Starr in.
	Horning didn't like it, except the first year he became the MVP of the league.
	And then he became the golden boy.
	And then he became an all-star.
	And then he became a Hall of Famer.
	And then he got caught for gambling and got suspended for a year.
	Did you know that?
	I did not know that.
	He got caught for gambling on football, not on his team.
	Ooh. Wow, they keep that one.
	Green Bay is known to have a fair play.
	Yeah, yeah.
	They lost a year.
	But I think they...
	I'm not sure.
	We'd have to check to see if they won a championship.
	I'm surprised that Coach Lombardi would allow that.
	He didn't allow it.
	The guy was suspended.
	The thing he said when he was suspended, he didn't even go fight for him.
	He didn't let the team go appeal.
	He said no appeal.
	Like you, Mayor, Coach Lombardi was almost a priest.
	Yeah. You were almost a priest?
	Like me, he went to Mass every day.
	He did?
	Every day.
	He and his wife.
	He did.
	Man, coaching football, right?
	He had a terrible mouth.
	He really did.
	He really did.
	I think he thought he could make it up.
	And he was a football player for Fordham.
	And he left his mark on Green Bay.
	He was one of the...
	When New York had good football teams, he was one of the rocks of granite.
	He was a lineman for the...
	The wall of granite.
	For the Fordham Rams.
	Was that New Rockne or was that after?
	I think we had breaking news as I sat down.
	That was...
	Quarterback. Who is it?
	Jameis Winston.
	Oh, and you're kidding.
	Yeah. They signed Jameis Winston?
	Yeah. He's kind of had a comeback on and off.
	One of the greatest college football seasons.
	I liked some of the others better, but they were old.
	Well, they were in the running for Aaron Rodgers.
	Yeah, I was hoping they would get Rodgers.
	But the fact is that that would only last you one season or two.
	Probably, yeah.
	Winston could give you six, seven seasons.
	Right. Well, that's telling that they're probably going to draft the kid, the quarterback from Miami, Kim Ward.
	Who? Not Kim Ward.
	The Giants.
	Or Sanders.
	Depends on who's available.
	Yeah. They could make a deal.
	I could see it.
	It's going to be interesting to see what happens.
	When is the draft?
	Oh, it's actually in a month, Mayor, and it's in Maine Bay, Wisconsin.
	My cousin asked if he wanted to.
	Oh, is it in Green Bay?
	No! Oh, no way.
	And my cousin lives a block from the stadium.
	They used to always have it.
	They used to always have it at...
	Radio City.
	Yeah. Radio City musical, right?
	I did.
	From where I worked.
	I kind of like that.
	When did that stop?
	Oh, God, about 10 years ago.
	Yeah. But why?
	Well, when Mayor Giuliani and this guy was no longer in office.
	When I was no longer there, they didn't want to come.
	They decided to hit the road.
	Who wants to be in my town?
	I got to bring them up on a couple of things that just irked me.
	Finland has been picked as the happiest country to live.
	Don't they have one of the highest suicide rates?
	There's no sun.
	The U.S. dropped to 24th.
	But that's because Biden was the president.
	We'll see what happens.
	Yeah, let's see if that's going to come back up with our guy in office.
	We can be proud again.
	You're allowed to be openly proud to be an American.
	So Finland, tough luck.
	We know about the judge who has to quit.
	Measles cases, just in case you're worried about measles, don't.
	Don't let them pull some...
	Do pay attention to what's going on in China.
	I told you.
	Epoch Times, Chinese residents report increased deaths.
	They're a bunch of liars.
	So we're going to have to worry about them.
	This weekend, we will pay attention and see what happens in Israel, because we have the Israelis now invading Gaza and trying to do away with whatever is left of Hamas.
	We've got the United States finally manning up.
	And this is no reflection, of course, on the president's administration.
	They did it right away on the past one.
	Hitting the Houthis who were killing Americans, and we just let them get away with it.
	And the object there has to be exactly the same.
	You cannot defeat the Houthis.
	You have to eliminate the Houthis, because the Houthis want to eliminate you.
	And Hezbollah has gone and hid somewhere.
	I think they're hiding behind the Ayatollah skirts.
	Assad is gone, but the Syrian...
	Dictatorship, which is a Sunni dictatorship, is killing a lot of Christians.
	And somebody like the United States should step in and tell them to stop or they're not going to be running Syria for too much longer.
	It's time that we exercise our role as, you know, one of the few moral nations in the world.
	And those people who feel, oh, America can't be the policeman of the world.
	Power abhors a vacuum.
	What happens?
	If there's a vacuum, somebody comes in.
	And if it's the wrong one, then you have a dictatorship.
	And there's one sitting right there, ready to come in, and it's China.
	And if we don't fill up that spot, this world will be speaking Chinese in 50 years.
	And that's not the worst of it.
	Right now, you know, they're killing off the Uyghur people.
	They're killing off Christians left and right.
	I mean, they're willing to do away with another 20, 30 million of their people.
	They've only killed 100 million of them, and that still leaves them with 1.2 billion.
	So we'll be back on Monday at 7 on Mike Lindell's TV, and then we'll be back at 8 on X,
	be on X on both.
	And we'll be on any time over the weekend when you need us.
	Something happens.
	Something happens in Israel.
	Something happens in Ukraine.
	Or something else happens.
	It's amazing.
	Every day you wake up and you're shocked by something nowadays, right?
	But we want to keep you on top of it because there's a lot of things you don't find out about that are hidden from you.
	Like, nobody's telling you about what's going on in China.
	Nobody. I can't find it anywhere.
	Or the JFK papers.
	Buried all of a sudden.
	Nobody questioning how come no one ever investigated Lyndon Johnson?
	That's like not investigating the guy who took out a million dollar policy on his wife and then she died three days later.
	Gee, even Detective Dodo would make him number one suspect, right?
	So, thank you very, very much.
	Thank you for having me.
	A treasure.
	Had a great, great talk that we were able to have on baseball and sports, which kind of relaxes everything.
	And remember, America, drink the mayor's coffee.
	Yeah, mayor's coffee is great.
	Rudy, coffee, pray for the people in Israel.
	Pray for the people in, please, pray for the people in Ukraine.
	They shouldn't be dying anymore.
	That's over.
	And pray that Iran becomes free and pray for everyone that wants freedom and peace.
	And God, thank you very much for this country.
	God bless America.
	God bless America.
	Well, Senator, my understanding is that the mayor was early in endorsing you back in 2010.
	Let me guys tell you something.
	The mayor didn't just endorse me.
	He called me a week after the election and wanted to go after Charlie Crist again.
	We don't have to keep hitting him.
	She's golden rule, teaches school.
	Some folks say it isn't cool, but she says I pledge allegiance anyway.
	He's got the red, white, blue, flying high on the floor.
	Seven, five, ten, ten on his left arm.
	Spend a little more in the store for a tag in the back.
	It says USA.
	He won't buy nothing that he can't fix.
	With WD-40 and a craftsman wrench, he ain't predators.
	He's just made an American.
	Born in a heart of land.
	Raised up a family.
	A King James and Uncle Sam.
	He's got the red, white, blue, flying high on the floor.
	Seven, five, ten, ten on his left arm.
	Spend a little more in the store for a tag in the back.
	This is USA.
	Won't buy another man he can't fix.
	With WD-40 in a crash.
	Ranching a prejudice.
	He's just made in America.

	Oh, oh, oh, oh.
	It's our purpose to bring to bear the principle of common sense and rational discussion to the issues of our day.
	America was created at a time of great turmoil, tremendous disagreements, anger, hatred.
	It was a book written in 1776 that guided much of the discipline of thinking that brought to us the discovery of our freedoms, of our God-given freedoms.
	It was Thomas Paine's Common Sense.
	Written in 1776, one of the first American bestsellers in which Thomas Paine explained by rational principles the reason why these small colonies felt the necessity to separate from the Kingdom of Great Britain and the King of England.
	He explained their inherent desire for liberty, for freedom, freedom of religion, freedom of speech.
	The ability to select the people who govern them.
	And he explained it in ways that were understandable to all the people, not just the elite.
	Because the desire for freedom is universal.
	The desire for freedom adheres in the human mind and it is part of the human soul.
	This is exactly the time we should consult our history.
	Look at what we've done in the past.
	And see if we can't use it to help us now.
	We understand that our founders created the greatest country in the history of the world.
	The greatest democracy, the freest country.
	A country that has taken more people out of poverty than any country ever.
	All of us are so fortunate to be Americans.
	But a great deal of the reason for America's constant ability to self-improve is because we're able to reason.
	We're able to talk.
	We're able to analyze.
