America’s Mayor Live (641): President Trump's Tariff Strategy Brings Countries to Negotiating Table
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
Hello, this is Rudy Giuliani with the sun going down in the West.
That's West Palm Beach.
Well, what a stupid way to start a show, huh?
But it is going to be a very intelligent show.
It'll be a very intelligent show because it's going to begin with breaking news.
Breaking news because nobody else will report it, but it is reported by one of the two best columnists in the world.
Miranda Devine.
Miranda has reported that Prince Obama is a prince no more.
Uh-uh.
They just did a poll of who people think should lead.
I don't know if it was president, but who best leads the Democrat Party?
Now, I thought it was Obama, like the Wizard of Oz, you know, behind the curtain, whispering to Biden.
Never really very effectively, because he should have said things not about sophisticated matters of policy, but like, turn right, jackass.
Or, nobody really falls going up the steps, asshole.
Things like that.
But he didn't do that.
Prince Obama ended up as the desired person to lead the Democrat Party among Democrats at An almost non-existent 4%.
Ahead of it were Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the excellent bartender from New York who is supposedly very, very good at making drinks.
Kamala Harris, who can't, has been found out she actually doesn't speak English.
And Bernie Sanders, who is the biggest creep liar that ever existed, he's a socialist multi-millionaire.
While he tells you you should all earn the same amount and live on the same amount, he's been using his public position very strangely on a meager salary to become a multi, multi, multi, multi-millionaire.
Either he's a hypocrite or a crook, right?
One or the other.
So this book about Biden kind of points out that he was behind the demise of...
This book about Obama basically tells you he was behind the demise of Biden, but he didn't have the guts to step up and do it, much like he never had the guts when he drew the red line in Syria to ever...
Protect any Americans.
Or in Benghazi.
He actually got Pelosi to do his dirty work for.
Because Pelosi's got a pair of...
Oh, I'm sorry.
I can't say that.
That's probably a compliment if I say it, right?
I mean, she also had an uncle who was...
You know what that means?
You better drop out of this race, Biden.
Or what?
This is Nancy D'Angelo.
Oh, you thought it was Pelosi, huh?
We got friends.
So she pushed him out, and then Obama got Clooney to do the phony thing, which Clooney is now claiming, oh my God, I'd never lie.
Do you realize what a piece of crap he is?
God almighty.
This is who they rely on.
No wonder they had our country in such terrible trouble.
So it looks like Obama is in bad shape in the Democrat Party.
You know what I think?
I think he isn't left enough for them.
Or at least he won't admit that he is.
He probably is more left than they all are because he was formally trained in communism.
But he's a passive-aggressive, so he hides it.
There was a foreign policy poll.
It's interesting.
It's interesting the way it came out.
I don't know if we know this or we don't, but I am a little surprised that the poll on expanding U.S. territory when you combine Republicans, Democrats, and Independents was 62% a bad idea and 25% a good idea.
I attribute that to the fact that Americans have begun to be taught to dislike America.
Why shouldn't a country that's a great country expand and share what it has with people?
Okay, that's what it is.
It's 62% bad idea, 25% good idea, and 13% I don't know.
But where it comes to whether allies are sharing the burden appropriately, here we have a big split between Republicans and Democrats.
81% of Republicans say absolutely not, and 83% of Democrats say international alliances are a source of strength.
Now, it's a different question.
It doesn't help me very much, which will give you an idea of why the Wall Street Journal plays games.
I'd like to hear the answer to the same question among Democrats.
Do Democrats believe that our allies have shouldered the appropriate burden for defense?
They ask them instead.
Do Democrats agree with a statement that international alliances are a source of strength?
I don't know.
Democrats might agree that they are when they work.
So I think this is kind of one of the more deceptive polls for a newspaper that's becoming an agenda newspaper.
I mean, it's the number one circulation newspaper in the country.
And it's getting to be as agenda-driven as the New York Times.
Its position on tariffs is insane.
It's completely hysterical.
They're taking a brilliant columnist and reporters, like the ones I illustrated on the earlier show, which I'll go to later, Alicia Finley and Mary Anastasia O'Grady, and they're making them into like pawns of, they got to make a nasty comment about tariffs.
And then they write something that completely contradicts what they said.
But I don't know why they ask a different question except to create complete, absolute confusion and also problems for Trump, making Trump look bad.
Now, this is an amazing number.
So if you look at Ukraine, where there was almost universal support for Ukraine among Republicans and Democrats, now, Republicans oppose support for Israel by 79%, and the number altogether is 49-44 in favor of Ukraine.
That is very close.
Okay.
Democrats have a favorable view of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, and the vast majority of Republicans have a negative view of it.
And with regard to tariffs, Republicans understand by 77% that they create jobs, and Democrats say they raise prices.
Again, a different question.
Right? So, I'm giving you this poll not to inform you, but to tell you to read them carefully, because sometimes that poll is useless.
It asks the Republicans what they think they want to hear, and they ask the Democrats what they think they want to hear, but they don't pose the other.
So how are you going to know?
So you know all the disturbance about border control and border sanctions and walls?
We mentioned this to you the other day when we had my old friend John Huvain on for a quick interview at the Trump National Golf Course.
But John now works as a security advisor to the president of the Dominican Republic, Luis Abandonar.
Now, Louis and I had a relationship that goes back 20 years, and I remember Louis as a young man, and I remember discussing crime.
Well, let me tell you what's going on.
I mean, a year ago, he began stopping Haitians from coming over into the Dominican Republic because they were having so much crime.
And he said, I love Haitians, and we share the island with them, but my first responsibility is to people of the Dominican Republic.
Sound familiar?
Then he began building a wall.
Now he's gotten Haitian immigration or illegal immigration down to about 80% less than it was.
And he's returning people that come over along the 244 mile border to Haiti so that he can protect his country.
And his wall is going to be finished soon.
So a lot of people are getting this.
A lot of people.
A lot of people are understanding.
So now, Stephen, I need your help on this.
I've been waiting all day for this.
I read this early this morning.
Jim Cramer.
You all know who Jim Cramer is.
He's the stock analyst.
And I'm going to show you why.
I don't know if I would buy stock based on what he says.
I hate to go negative on Jim.
I like him.
Of course, I didn't hire him when he applied as an assistant U.S. attorney.
I'm not going to tell you why, because it wouldn't be nice.
He was actually approved by a very, very strict committee that would recommend three people to me for every position.
And I interviewed him, and I didn't think he'd make a good trial lawyer.
Well, you know...
He actually does serve a very valuable purpose in the finance community, but typically that purpose is as an inverse indicator of what the market should do.
You know the market much better than I do.
This is what I saw.
Black Monday warning.
This is what he put out today.
This is like scary stuff, Jim.
You do this when you think you have no accountability.
You think you're a weather reporter.
You know, weather reporters say, big storm tomorrow!
You wake up, it's sunny as hell, and the guy still has his job.
Right? I remember once coming in on a Saturday morning, I had all my people there, there was going to be a big hurricane, and the head of my emergency services, commissioner of emergency services, Jerry Howard, got a big glum face on.
And I said to him, Jerry, what's wrong, Jerry?
There's not going to be any hurricane.
I said, okay.
He was disappointed.
I said, Jerry, we're going to go out and do a press conference.
Will you please put a damn smile on your face?
It'd be great for you if there were a hurricane, but we have 10 dead people.
Well, of course, the whole weather report was completely wrong.
That guy was still a weather reporter.
Well, in any event, Jim warned that America is going to have a Black Monday crash today.
Similar to the 1987 collapse.
So I think, isn't it appropriate that somebody hold him accountable for that?
I mean, there are people that listen to this guy and what he says, they go risk their money based on what he says.
He tells them not to, but of course they do.
Why are they listening to him?
Right? So the percentage fall on In 1987, to which he predicted would be equivalent, the Black Monday would be, was 22.6% in one day.
What was the fall today?
Typical volatility range.
I think we were down around a percent.
Depends on which index you look at.
Well, the S&P.
Dow Jones Industrial Average.
I think that was off about a percent.
So he's only off by 24, 5%.
Well, worse than that.
You can chalk that up to regular volatility.
I mean, percentage up and percentage down is what investors are used to right now.
So the good thing is this created no panic.
Nobody really paid attention to it.
Well, there is a lot of uncertainty.
Yeah, but he said it's going to be a black Monday.
It's going to be down 22% and it goes down 1%.
It means, Jim, baby, you know what it's worth.
Yeah, and if you can pick out valuable equity securities...
Now I'm going to be really nasty.
I guess I made the right decision, huh?
Oh, to not hire him?
I thought he talked too much.
Well, maybe he'd be a better lawyer.
I thought he talked too much.
I used to interview three for every one.
I picked the best of the three.
And I let them all talk.
And a lot of them talked themselves into a job.
And a lot of them talked themselves out of a job.
Just to give you an idea.
I wonder how many jobs I've talked myself out of.
I don't know.
I don't know how you would have done.
I think you'd have been a pretty good litigator.
Look, that's what I was hiring.
Now, sometimes I was hiring somebody for the civil division.
Or sometimes I knew I had to have a certain number of lawyers who were brilliant appellate lawyers.
So it wasn't always that.
But I mean, that was the main...
And all of these people...
All of these people were very, very, including Jim, very, very scholarly and very accomplished law students.
So they all had the intellectual capacity to be appellate lawyers.
Well, Goldman Sachs thought he was good enough.
Yeah, well, Goldman Sachs doesn't have to require you to get up in front of a jury and convince them somebody's guilty.
A little different.
Goldman Sachs, he can sit there and make predictions, and if you suck the right you-know-what, you can go up the chain.
You can't suck anybody on a jury.
I will say, it's interesting how similar the networking and community is to politics and finance.
It is a lot of who you know, having coffee with people, getting the scoop.
Yeah, but you know, trial warriors, particularly prosecutors, they win and lose cases, and prosecutors shouldn't lose cases.
So, when they win cases, it doesn't tell you a lot.
But when they start losing cases, whoa!
You should not lose cases as a prosecutor.
Defense lawyer, it's different.
You know, you don't get to choose whether your client is innocent or guilty, and you've got to do the best for them you can.
So the best for them you can maybe is a lesser sentence or the right choice to make.
Go to trial.
Don't go to trial.
But prosecutors, you get to choose the case.
And if you're losing, I'm not saying you can't lose a few, but if you're losing too many cases, you're terrible.
You're terrible.
Yeah, if you can't win the case, it is...
Just for the sake of judicial economy and resources, you shouldn't bring it.
So tariffs are now dominating everything.
Right? They're dominating everything.
And I thought I would try and give you just a little perspective on the gains that Trump has made in a very, very short period of time.
So we're going to look at the list.
I had it out before.
Let me see if I can get it again here.
There you go.
There's my list.
These are the top 15 so-called disparate trading relationships, meaning we have a big deficit with them.
And China, of course, is number one.
So you've got to take China off the board because our tariff relationship with them...
It's a combination of too many things, not just economics.
It's a combination of stopping them from sending in fentanyl, which Z lies about.
He lies about it.
He says they're not the source of fentanyl, and then he promised Biden the last time they met to cut it down.
Obviously, he's talking out of two sides of his mouth, or four or five or ten.
If he isn't the source of it, Then how's he going to cut it down?
And Dodo Bird walks away thinking he had a great meeting with him.
I think Trump or I would say, stop the bullshit.
Okay, you're going to cut it down, but you're not the source of it.
Tell me exactly how you're going to do it if you're not the source of it.
His theory is, here's his theory that he doesn't express To American presidents who sit there and, you know, say, oh, we had a very productive meeting.
Productive meeting, my backside.
His theory, or his argument, which is total garbage, is that they make fentanyl for legitimate purposes.
And whatever you do with it is your fault.
Well, you don't, you need to make about 10% of the fentanyl Those
relationships go back 20 years.
China has made them Fabulously.
Have made the cartels fabulously wealthy.
Because they've been doing other kinds of drugs as well as fentanyl.
Since Biden became president, when they got free access to the United States, and Biden was accommodating private flights by Chinese, the fentanyl deaths went up two and three times under Biden.
So, this is complete nonsense.
They have nothing to do.
I mean, it's completely ridiculous.
It only comes from one place.
Maybe 2% of the fentanyl precursors come from elsewhere.
China and China, if China knew where they were, they'd go wipe them out.
This is a source of great wealth for China.
It's also a source of conducting war on us.
Just like COVID-19 was.
They can kill 75,000 Americans a year.
No Chinese get killed.
In a shooting war, we kill you, you kill us.
Look at Ukraine, Russia, right?
This would be if Russia conducted war against Ukraine and they sent in a drug that kills 75,000 Ukrainians a year just to wear them down.
So, when we look at the tariff situation, the Chinese who are attempting to negotiate this Don't understand.
They're not going to get to first base until fentanyl decreases dramatically.
Because we know that they can cut the spigot off like that.
And we're no longer playing a stupid, ridiculous game with them that you would play if China gave you $31 million.
So it's a very, very different situation.
So far, if you were reporting this accurately with China being our biggest trade deficit, European Union being number two, but agreeing to zero, Vietnam being number three, but saying it's willing to agree to zero, you would say China looks like it's going to start getting isolated.
What do you think Taiwan's going to do?
Would you like to make a bet with me as to what Taiwan is going to do?
Do you think Taiwan will go to zero?
What I really want to see is the Wall Street Journal apologize.
Japan? Oh, they love China too.
Oh yeah.
They'll work real hard to help China.
South Korea is a problem.
Because South Korea is going through a possible takeover.
By North Korea.
Which is very frightening.
And very subtle.
And of course, the American and international media is all on the side of the Chinese Communist Party and North Korea.
India, not sure zero.
We'll make a practical deal with India, Thailand, and Switzerland.
Malaysia, I'm not sure it counts that much.
I'm pretty sure we will with Cambodia and Indonesia.
South Africa, I would chalk up to organized crime.
You better watch out.
South Africa might now be an organized crime country.
It may have been taken over by organized crime drug groups.
A lot of the drugs from China are moving through South Africa now to Mexico and other places.
And they've become a partner of China.
So that could...
Maybe we don't want to trade with them at all.
And Israel just went to zero.
And Bangladesh, I don't have a real feel for.
But every one of the major ones here, the top five, European Union, Vietnam already at zero, Taiwan, Japan, and South Korea, I would say pretty darn good chance they'll be at zero.
So China will be the only one with a tariff.
You want to trade with them?
We got alternatives?
You don't think this is a fabulous opportunity for Vietnam to take up the place of China?
You don't think it's a fabulous opportunity for, let's go a little further, for Cambodia?
Take up the place of China?
Or India?
There's a deep economic brilliance to this that the warped American press just won't get.
And maybe they won't get it because it comes from Trump.
I don't know.
But boy, you can analyze this independent of Trump.
Well, we're going to take a short break and we'll be right back.
you.
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 green, 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.
*music*
Oh my goodness, look at these!
My goodness Ha ha ha!
You're gonna want to specially order these.
This is what goes into Rudy's Coffee.
U.S. Army Major Scott Smiley paid a high price serving our nation.
Scott was leading his platoon in Iraq when a blast sent shrapnel through his eyes, leaving him blind and temporarily paralyzed.
Scott would become the first blind active duty military officer before medically retiring years later.
Thanks to friends like you, the Tunnels and Towers Foundation gave Scott and his family a mortgage-free, specially adapted, smart home.
Show your support for America's heroes.
Now, donate $11 a month to Tunnels and Towers.
You'll look better.
We are back from...
Oh, you like that quote?
If China doesn't withdraw its 34% increase above...
There are already long-term trading abuses by tomorrow, April 8th, 2025.
The United States will impose additional tariffs on China of 50%.
Effective April 9th.
China has responded.
Come on, we win this.
Screw you, China.
Now, I tell you, I am now, I have to make sure I'm dressed up right here properly.
I am the president of a star.
Mm-hmm.
How would you feel if you, on your own, put out just an interview on Saturday and you got 10 million people?
How would you feel if the richest man in the world retweeted it and he got 85 million people?
You'd feel like you were a pretty important guy.
Well, that's our Ted.
That's the clip right there.
Ted Goodman.
There it is.
And it was...
I mean, I never can predict whether it'll be 10 million or 10. I have no idea where it'll go.
The minute I saw this, and this is a little bit...
I would have a haircut if I knew I was going to be a big internet star.
You almost got a haircut from Rob and you punked out.
I passed it up because there's always something else going on.
We've always got the next thing.
We don't have time to get pretty and cut our hair.
We've got protests to be at.
We've got to be in New York.
We've got to be in D.C. On Saturday, after I left to go to West Virginia.
He went over to the protest.
And right out of the bat, he got this.
And when I saw it, I never realized it would go to what it went to.
To this minute, I can't stop laughing, thinking about it.
It's like when I told you, maybe on the prior show about Mike, when I see Mike Lindell looking in that drug cabinet, you know, in his bathroom, the other guy shows, I just laughed my head off a thousand times.
Now this, this will make me laugh forever.
So what makes Trump a fascist?
Oh, I'm...
What makes Trump a fascist?
He does things without...
Yeah, talk loud.
I don't have my mic on.
I'm not really...
Sorry? He just doesn't...
He just does everything he wants and, you know, not following laws or, you know...
He's a convicted felon, you know.
That's all I know.
But your sign says he's a fascist and I'm just curious what makes him a fascist.
One of the things is that he's trying to control the media, right?
Say that again?
He's trying to control the narrative.
How is he trying to control the media?
Doesn't... My question is, the sign says the fascist Trump regime must go.
And so I'm just curious what makes him a fascist.
You pointed out that maybe something about his relationship with the media, he wants to control it.
Again, you're calling him a fascist.
What makes him a fascist?
One of the core tenets of fascism is creating an enemy, right?
And blaming the problems on the enemy.
What's that?
Who gave you that?
The people that gave me the sign.
It's a free sign.
Someone gave you the sign.
And then they gave you the handout.
So are you reading it now to try to answer the question?
Yeah, but I mean...
Can I see that?
Can you hold that up?
I'm just not...
No, I'm just curious.
You can have it.
I can have it?
Yeah, you can have it.
Alrighty. So where did you get the sign?
All the way in the gatekeeper's house.
Okay. And that's another one?
They gave you two pieces of paper?
Yeah. Can I have that one too?
Yes, you can have both.
Oh, okay.
So what brings you guys out here today?
Just because I saw...
Now, Ted, that was really very, very well done.
It was very well done because you weren't aggressive and therefore frightened them off.
I don't know until the very end if they knew you were kind of their enemy.
Maybe that other guy kind of sensed it at the very end.
Up until the very end, they thought you were just, you know...
You were just legitimately asking him questions.
Well, that's right, Mayor, and that's the best strategy when dealing with these folks, right?
Just let them talk.
They often will just expose themselves.
I know the other guy said he graduated.
He didn't say where he graduated from.
I doubt it.
Well, maybe he graduated without taking exams.
That happens a lot now.
What about the guy who had the two pieces of paper?
Did he ever say he graduated from any of us?
Well, he works at a hospital.
He said Mercy Hospital, so be careful if you need a checkup.
We don't want to see him when we're there.
I'll have to give him a piece of paper on how to save my life.
Yeah, exactly.
Step one, step two.
I'm kicking myself, Mayor, for not asking them if they were paid.
Usually you wouldn't ask that, right?
Somebody would never admit that, but I'm feeling these guys may have just came out and said it if they were in fact paid.
I remember watching this because I've...
This was developing as I was driving.
I dropped him off at the rally.
And we were, we drove to about two hours to West Virginia where I had a speaking engagement.
So I was watching this develop.
I'm looking at the numbers and he gets to 300,000, 400,000, 500,000.
By the time I get there, he eventually got to a million.
He was about 700,000.
Then Elon Musk retweets it and it goes to 80 million.
80 million!
Right, there it is.
But of course, it tells the whole damn story.
Right? It tells the whole story.
This is a couple hours ago.
It's over 60 now.
And that's just him.
Oh, 60 million.
Okay. And that's just him.
We obviously shared it.
Others have shared it.
It's making the rounds.
So you put them all together, it's about 80 million.
Right. But this is, I mean, the reason this went viral...
Is this explains...
It explains so much, doesn't it?
It explains the unbelievably horrible education system we have in the United States.
Look at those two guys.
Struggling to try to...
None of them, when you said fascists, said Hitler or Mussolini.
Wouldn't that occur to any well-educated person who learned the basics?
Not warped one way or the other.
These are people who need remedial education,
not... That's a good point.
Very generous guy.
The other guy was a bit more of a wise guy.
He had a couple of explanations.
They were all completely inadequate.
And he never came up with a definition of fascism.
Right. He definitely didn't.
And he says he's a graduate.
I don't know if he's a graduate.
He's probably not a graduate of a place.
Software engineer.
Yeah, but he's not a graduate of any place that gave him an education.
If you can't associate fascism with Hitler, Mussolini, and Franco, you're just not an educated person.
That's right.
That's right.
He couldn't even make a...
I was kind of giving them an opportunity.
He couldn't even...
He tried, but he failed.
He did try.
He was just kind of making general points about issues with the media, and so that's, you know, obviously it caught Elon Musk's attention and others, but again, right, Mayor?
It's just...
Well, I mean, it has to be a part of the...
It has to be a source of tremendous irritation that the cause of all this problem for Elon Musk are these completely...
I don't know what you would call them.
Right. Innocent idiots?
I don't know.
Right. But they're being used for bad purposes.
Right. It's like taking advantage of symbols.
These are the first guys I walked up to.
This is about five minutes after I left you guys.
I walk up and I start filming and I just went up to the first guy.
You got a second piece of paper?
Yeah, that's coming up right here.
Let's watch that part together.
Try to answer the question?
Can you hold that up?
No, I'm just curious.
You can have it.
I can have it?
So where does he get the sign?
All the way in the gatekeeper's house.
And that's another one?
They gave you two pieces of paper?
Can I have that one too?
So what brings you guys out here today?
Just because I saw people were hanging out with people from everyone else.
Executive overreach.
See, he's trying.
He's trying.
He graduated.
Big words there, buddy.
He's the intellectual.
Executive overreach.
Executive overreach is fascism.
I tell you.
Unbelievable. Great job, Ted.
Thank you, Mayor.
I learned from the best, and as you said, it just kind of fulfills the mission of the program.
This is your second big, gigantic after the two sweet girls from Fordham.
Remember the two sweet girls from Fordham?
I just happened to have them.
Let's play the sweet girls from Fordham.
What brings you out tonight?
I'm here to support the NYU students protesting for Palestine.
Are you an NYU student?
I'm not, I'm a Fordham student.
Fordham, okay.
And what would you say is the main goal with tonight's protest?
I think the goal is just showing our support for Palestine and demanding that NYU stops.
I honestly don't know all of what NYU's doing.
Is there something that NYU's doing?
I really don't know.
I'm pretty sure they're...
Do you know what NYU's doing?
About what?
About Israel.
Why are we protesting here?
Palestine will be free!
I wish I was more educated.
I'm not either.
Oh. The other one is obviously the more intellectual.
She was reading a book.
It had a mask on, right?
So she didn't know either what they were doing there.
She just admits it.
I wish I was more educated.
There's something about Palestinians.
They both wish they were more educated.
They were there for Palestine.
They don't know why.
They're supporting NYU.
But they go to Fordham.
And they're there.
Oh, I think there may have been a fire at that one, by the way.
This isn't funny.
When these moron assholes show up, it is not funny.
That's a good point.
We're laughing, but...
You're laughing, but they turn into really destructive situations.
Yes. Really destructive situations, and it's terrible.
It's terrible that this...
We just allow this to go on.
That's right.
Where there are these protesters to be exposed, we'll be there.
Right, Mayor?
Yeah, you're great.
You take them off guard because you sound so nice.
And they have no idea.
But they have no idea you're trapping them.
They have no idea that you are freaking trapping them.
They have no clue, right?
They think I'm just some reporter.
Maybe some foreign reporter trying to, like, what's going on here, guys?
We're going to take a short break.

U.S. Army Major Scott Smiley paid a high price serving our nation.
Scott was leading his platoon in Iraq when a blast sent shrapnel through his eyes, leaving him blind and temporarily paralyzed.
Scott would become the first blind active duty military officer before medically retiring years later.
Thanks to friends like you, the Tunnel to Towers Foundation gave Scott and his family a mortgage-free, specially adapted smart home.

Well, this is really a great pleasure for us to have Allison Wynn with us.
And Allison is...
Well, you've seen her talk very, very eloquently on finance.
She really is quite an expert on finance.
But I think on these tariffs, we've talked to you before about this.
You know, tariffs are not good or bad.
There's no moral.
I mean, a tariff isn't inherently a good thing or a bad thing.
It can be used very intelligently for good purposes.
I agree.
We totally agree.
Why are these people so, particularly I pick on the Wall Street Journal, It's outrageous.
I agree with you.
Tariffs and tax, it's a mechanism.
It's like fire.
Fire, it can warm the village, but it can also burn down the village.
So you have to wield it.
Responsibly. I do believe the president is very smart.
My entire lifetime, we've had trade imbalances.
And so he's very creative.
He's thinking out of the box.
Let's do something new because the old playbook hasn't been working.
Has it, Mayor?
No. And suppose you knew nothing about tariffs.
And the president said, OK, I'm imposing these big tariffs, but I'm willing to negotiate.
And then within a day of saying that, 50 countries call you up and say, we'll negotiate.
The first country was the country from where my parents are from, Vietnam.
Tell us about the significance of that.
I think that's very significant because good behavior needs to be rewarded and bad behavior needs to be punished.
And so we see President Trump, he's the most consequential president of our time because he also...
Has consequences and gives consequences to other countries' action.
And for too many years, you can do bad things to America and there are no consequences.
And so they just use and abuse America, haven't they?
So now, am I going too far if I read into Vietnam's action a kind of hedge against China also?
Here, China is not going along with it.
China instead, so far, is the only country to impose a draconian additional tariff on America.
The others are negotiated.
Yeah, they call it retaliatory tariffs.
And one of the things is that...
The words are quite violent, retaliatory.
That's what you do in war or in a battle.
So it's really important that we use these words.
And I like how Vietnam and the other ASEAN countries, 10 other countries in Southeast Asia, and now the EU, also Israel, looking to negotiate zero to zero tariffs.
So basically making the rest of the world, other than China, a free trade zone.
That would be very, very damaging for China if a good percentage of the world were in a free trade arrangement and China was at 45%, 50%, 100%, whatever the hell they are.
They will be at 104% tariffs, unheard of, and really going to hurt their economy because if we do the math, they were already at...
20% and then added for the 34. So 54 as of Wednesday of last week.
And then because of their 34% retaliatory tariffs, if they don't remove it by midnight tonight, the Eastern time zone, sorry to bore you with all the technical details.
No, no, don't bore me at all.
This is great stuff.
50% more.
So 54 plus 50 is 104 by April 9th.
I'm Asian, so I'm good at math.
And also food.
I love to eat.
So now tell me, if you can, and I know you can actually, but tell me a little bit about the relationship between Vietnam, China, Cambodia, the country south of China.
Should we assume that they're just Chinese add-ons?
So a lot of people assume that, especially with Vietnam, because Vietnam is in name a communist country.
But from what I know of the country and many of the conglomerates that I've interfaced with, it's actually just communist in name.
It's very much a market driven economy.
They're very entrepreneurial.
There is a bustling stock market, I believe, to stock exchange, the Hanoi one.
How can you have a stock exchange at a communist country?
What? The Ho Chi Minh Stock Exchange?
Yes, it's...
Thousands, if not millions of investors worldwide, many large global private equity firms are major investors in that.
Southeast Asia actually is growing at about 7%, 8%.
And then next year, hopefully, you know, we take care of the tariff situation, which it does appear Asian, Southeast Asian countries are willing to play ball.
Unlike China.
So I think there is a big difference.
We can't assume that Asian countries are like China.
China is a regime all its own.
And I know with the Vietnamese people, they have been fighting China for the last 2000 years, and they've done a good job drawing the line, the boundaries, and they have kept their independence.
So I don't believe the narrative that Vietnam...is an extension of China.
Yeah, that is something that, to our disadvantage, we didn't understand before the Vietnamese War.
Yes, yes.
And I am an interventionist.
You might even accuse me of being a neocon about military power.
There aren't too many wars I would avoid.
But from the beginning, I thought Vietnam was not the right war.
Mm-hmm.
You know, I see them as kind of like an exaggerated version of Latin America.
So in Latin America, there's a problem, right?
Many of them resent America.
do. They do.
Some for good reason.
We might have done things.
A lot of them for bad reason.
We're just a big, we're the big successful country.
They're going to be jealous of us.
That's what happens there, too.
China is the dominant power.
I mean, they've been the they consider themselves the greatest nation on Earth.
Everybody else below them is like, hmm.
So there's a lot of resentment.
Even in Mongolia, there's a tremendous amount of resentment.
For thousands of years, too, because China, you know, maybe in the 70s and 80s they weren't doing so well, but for thousands of years...
Beforehand, it was a dominant culture if you think about it.
You know, Genghis Khan, Kublai Khan, all the empires that went before that.
So they have a lot of pride in their dominance and, you know, maybe a little bit too domineering.
Yeah, yeah.
I mean, when I was mayor, for some strange reason, I became very friendly with the Mongolian ambassador.
So I learned all about the history of Mongolia.
Mongolia was very resentful of China.
Very resentful of China.
And when you mentioned Genghis Khan, they would say he wasn't Chinese.
He was Mongolian.
He is.
And I'm a direct descendant of Genghis Khan according to my brother's DNA because it's carried on the Y chromosome.
I'm related to my brother.
He was.
And because of our little bit of lack of knowledge of Asian history, he was sort of the Julius Caesar of Asia.
I mean, he conquered into Europe.
He's one of the greatest warriors and not just warriors, an intelligent warrior who knew how to turn countries to becoming like Caesar did, to cooperative with it.
Like Alexander the Great, too.
Like Alexander the Great, yeah.
But the reality is Americans have learned too little about the history of other countries.
I have a question.
Did Julius Caesar father as many children as Kublai Khan and Genghis Khan?
Certainly not legitimately.
I mean, Romans were pretty prolific.
I don't know.
He was tied up with war so much.
You know what he did do, though?
He came up with the idea of sharing Roman citizenship, which is what created Europe.
So, he went into Gaul.
His first great campaign was Gaul.
That modern-day France?
Yeah, in Gallia.
Yeah, Gallia in Divisi in Treparte is the first of his books.
Gaul is divided into three parts.
He divided France into three parts.
Someone's excellent at Latin here.
Yeah, yeah.
That's why I am on the FBI terrorist list for, among other reasons, I go to Latin masses.
So... When he went into France and he was successful in conquering Gaul, he didn't oppress them.
He made the ones that work with him Roman citizens, equal to Romans.
They could come to Rome and vote.
They'd come to Rome and run for office.
Then he moved into Hispania, did the same thing.
Portugal. Then he moved over to Romania, lower Germany, and then to lower Britain.
So fantastic.
So you're saying that he's developing all these systems, infrastructure.
So you had lower, never conquered Scotland.
Scotland, they went up to Scotland, they saw these crazy people coming over, all dressed up, and they said, it's not worth it.
It's not worth it.
The Mel Gibson with the paint?
Yeah, yeah.
He said, not worth it.
But the fact is, what he did was, he spread the Latin language, which then became the basis for all those languages.
But he also gave out Roman citizenship.
Fantastic. As a way of earning sort of a give back.
So if you were good to us, we were good to you.
We don't want to conquer you.
We just want to trade with you.
You can get half.
We can get half.
Oh, a real free trade politician.
That's why I lasted 400 years.
It was not a completely oppressive empire.
It was oppressive when it had to be and not.
And then, of course, it went.
Crazy. I remember touring in the south of France with my children, and I remember seeing these beautiful Roman aqueducts.
Oh, sure.
Yeah. They were very, very, very connected.
I think very similar things happen when you have a great genius conqueror like Kahn was, and he created that same situation.
But I think China also created the same resentment around it.
And I think of Japan a lot like I do England.
Japan is the little island that shouldn't be able to deal at all with the continent.
And it wants to constantly prove that it can dominate the continent.
So every time England worked like hell to defeat the Spanish Armada and to be more powerful than Europe, and Japan worked like hell every time they were at war with China to constantly defeat them.
Yeah, Vietnam can relate to that as a country that is probably 100th, 1,000th the size of China.
They've been very fierce, been fighting China for more than 2,000 years.
So the theory that Vietnam is an extension of China, I don't think that is rooted in history or facts at all.
These are all things we have to realize, which a lot of times we don't.
And we are dominated too much.
Including on the Wall Street Journal, which is a newspaper I used to respect, everything is based on kind of a hatred of Trump.
So if Trump says something that's enormously intelligent, it becomes stupid.
Well, it's a little bit like they were all in favor of a wall.
Schumer, Pelosi.
Then Trump wanted a wall.
Now a wall is xenophobic.
Right? Schumer.
Was in favor of massive tariffs on China.
Now Trump is in favor of tariffs on China.
So they're bad.
Things don't become bad and good because Trump is in favor of it.
You have to have enough intellectual honesty to analyze them for the reality that they are.
And Trump has really thrown this all off.
Yeah, they need to stop politicizing this situation and go to bat for America.
These policies make sense.
Now you see the EU come to the table, zero for zero, Israel, many countries, including Vietnam, and I believe the rest of the 10 Asian countries too.
So you have like three out of the four largest economies, you know, America, EU, Asian countries.
And so you're just, China's kind of left by themselves.
What are they going to do?
So how are things back in L.A.?
That's another issue.
We're living in the Socialist Republic of California.
So we are hoping to have a common sense mayor, a common sense governor that actually takes care of the people.
Like you were saying about Julius Caesar, not to glorify these emperors or rulers like Genghis Khan, but they actually ruled.
They cared.
They had empathy.
I would think that Genghis Khan and Julius Caesar would have made sure that the equivalent of water was available if they were going to have fires.
I think we did talk about that.
The aqueducts.
It was just like an engineering marvel.
Maybe the mayor should check with Roman history and figure out how to do an aqueduct.
We have an aqueduct in New York.
Comes all the way down from the mountains.
Yeah, I believe that would be gravity fed, right?
So how does water move?
Usually, you know, naturally with gravity or through water pressure.
So may I make one jingoistic comment on behalf of New York?
New York probably has...
Among the best water supply in the United States.
It doesn't need to be...
I used to call it Giuliani water when I was mayor.
And Coca-Cola, when it began one of its water companies, just took our water and cleaned it up just a little bit with our water.
Delicious water.
Fabulous. You know why?
We have a 150-year-old water system.
It has three sources now and pretty soon a fourth.
Actually, mostly a fourth.
And we take water from the Catskill Mountains, which is in upper New York.
And we own the land that the water is on.
We don't rent it.
We own it.
And we protect it.
And it comes down to New York.
We then go over toward Pennsylvania and New Jersey.
And we go to the mountains right over the New Jersey border, the Delaware Water Gap.
Mm-hmm.
now we're in the process of expanding and cleaning the old aqueduct so our water is um our water supply is from the mountains clean water it's in a very and um Every day, almost every day, if there's not a big fire, the fire department is tasked with making sure that the water supply in the fire hydrants is adequate.
That's one of the jobs they have when there are no fires.
Two guys go out in a car and they check them because they don't want to show up and have no water.
Amazing. We should hire you as a water consultant for California.
During the heaviest winds in California history, the mayor left on vacation to Ghana, and apparently they hadn't tested the water pressure and the fire hydrants in the Palisades for a very long time.
Yeah, I mean...
How could this happen?
New York City Fire Department checks the water pressure on a regular basis.
What do you mean by regular basis?
Like once every couple weeks.
Check everyone go around check it make sure in the summer times when the kids are using it to like have uh to cool off yeah they go and they uh will make sure they'll let the kids keep it but then they'll make sure the ones around it are full so that if they come because we've got two or three on a block so if one is out we can deal with that now they put all three out we've got to close two down and make sure that the water gets back in there I love how as a mayor you have that
attention to detail.
I'm sure you're taking care of putting mafiosos into jail.
So why do I know that?
And you're able to have that detail on how many fire hydrants are on block.
I would like to ask some of these mayors in California if they know this type of detail.
They don't bother to ask.
They don't bother to ask.
They don't think they're doing a job.
They think the job is to show up at cocktail parties.
And then to run for governor.
That's the job.
Particularly Democrats who have no conscience any longer.
I'm sorry.
And maybe some of their outrageous policies that will really...
You can't believe those things and be human.
So, Ted, I want to show the picture before we go to anything else and sports.
I want to show the picture of the anti-abortion or the pro-abortion woman.
Who punched the living daylights out of the pro-life woman.
And I want to know, when did you ever see a pro-life person do this?
And why the hell did Biden and the J6 and all those creeps put these pro-life demonstrators in jail for five and ten years, including an 82-year-old woman, and arrest them with Gestapo troops?
Now, the violence is all, almost all, 100% on the left.
There are no violent proud boys or whatever the hell you want to call them.
Their violence consisted of whatever you want to call an insurrection and they didn't bring any guns or knives.
I don't understand the magnitude of having a child.
I'm not the one who admitted they would be okay with killing babies in foster care and killing children that have been abused.
And that's the point, what I'm saying.
Oh, my God!
I don't understand the magnitude of having a child.
I'm not the one who admitted they would be okay with killing babies in foster care and killing children that have been abused.
That's not the point is what I'm saying.
So basically they were disputing at the very end they were disputing whether foster children should be killed.
And the rather large one who punched the other more modest sized woman I thought they should be.
And then when the other one expressed shock at that, she punched the hell out of her, sent her to the hospital.
I mean, I don't get this.
I also, Ted, would like you to find for us before we close out, I'd like you to find for us your interview with the so-called Catholic priest who somehow doesn't think that abortion is any longer a sin.
And therefore you might get a sense of why our country is in the moral decay that it's in.
I mean, when I look at these people demonstrating for abortion rights or whatever the hell you call it, I see them demonstrating for more killing.
Let's see if we can kill more people.
So in my old city, New York, the last time I checked, more black children were aborted in Harlem than born.
If that doesn't shock you, If that doesn't make you feel horrible, if that doesn't make you feel like there's something we've got to straighten out, then there's something I'm sorry wrong with you.
You've got something morally wrong with you.
You don't think it's a much worse situation the more black kids are aborted than born?
Maybe you want to get rid of the black kids.
I don't know.
I mean, that's what Planned Parenthood wanted.
Maybe they're getting their wish.
But I thought this priest...
Maybe he's not even a priest.
I'm hoping he's not even a Catholic priest.
But sometimes with the things our sickly Pope says, I get frightened.
If Western civilization and Christianity won't stand up vigorously for life, nobody will.
Humanity has never been more...
Glorified than a Western civilization.
And if we've lost that because the Communists want to destroy Western civilization, then we're going to have a hard time really bringing it all back.
I don't think we have, though.
I was at a wonderful event this weekend with Dr. Maria for the Christian Classical Academy of Morgantown, West Virginia.
And they're up to grade number...
Six or seven, six, I think.
They've been in existence for three years.
And they teach classical education, which means Western civilization.
They also teach agriculture.
And I found out, I met the agriculture teacher, or the head of the agriculture department, and I found out an answer to a question I always wanted to know.
What are the most, they had a group of animals, they teach them how to breed.
Horses and...
Donkeys and goats and pigs.
And I said, of that group, what's the most, by far, pigs?
Most intelligent animals.
Really? A pig is as intelligent as a dog.
Really? And if you take a pig and you put it in your house, the pig will be cleaner than you are.
Pigs do not want to be in the mud.
You know why they go in the mud?
Because they don't have any sweat glands.
Oh, interesting.
So they get warm and they go in the mud.
If you give them water, they'll go in water.
But if the only thing available, it's like desperation.
They'll go in the mud in desperation.
Many of you take them out.
You don't even have to clean them.
You put them somewhere and they'll start cleaning themselves.
Just like a cat.
Like a cat.
They'll clean themselves and in your house and you can teach them to go outside to go to the bathroom.
What about a piggy litter?
I have to ask.
My daughter had a pig for two years.
When she was at Harvard, she had a pig which I thought was Probably the influence of Harvard.
I didn't know any better.
I figured, well, Harvard teaches you to do crazy things like have a pig instead of a dog.
But she used to tell me, this pig is smarter than our dog.
And now this lady said, yeah, these pigs are unbelievable.
You can make them a completely domesticated pet.
And they have no violent tendencies.
Oh, really?
Can they sit?
Can they lay down?
Yeah, they can give you their paw.
Oh, really?
You can teach them to give you their paw.
It's unbelievable.
Did you find this?
It's uploading now, Mayor.
This is worth it.
I'm telling you.
Hang on.
This is worth it.
Because when you see this priest, until there's a new pope, I'm not going to report him.
Because he might get like, they might make him a saint with this new pope, with this pope.
He just had a priest outfit.
There's no way that guy was a priest.
There's no way that guy was a priest.
You think he just borrowed a costume?
Yeah, Halloween USA.
I'm going to go to you right now.
I mean, you can't...
Yeah, you'll see in the video.
I don't know how a Catholic priest could be in favor of Joe Biden when Joe Biden was in favor of killing seven, eight, and nine-month-old babies.
I mean, they like to call them embryos or something.
They're babies.
It's too late.
It's a functioning baby.
You have to crush their skull.
You know, they use vacuum cleaners to take them out.
When they get them out, sometimes they're alive and they crush their skull.
This is why this country doesn't have a high moral standard any longer.
Because we began being subjected to communism way, way back.
And the first thing they do is take God away.
No religion.
No God.
Just government.
Worship government.
Take parents away.
That actually is, and censorship, now we go back to the definition of fascism, right?
Like, what is fascism?
And they're very aggressive, you know, because I grew up, back then, of course, Vietnam now is different, like I said, but back then it was a true communist government, you know, more fascist, right?
And so there's censorship.
There's lots of fighting.
I mean, if you see Trump, he's a very peaceful person.
He actually is anti-war.
It's one of the reasons why I flipped from a Democrat to a Republican.
Very good.
Very good point, Allison.
Now, let's go back to the video of the marijuana.
This is from the weekend.
And I came across a priest.
This one, I just noticed this when he was showing to me.
I said, this is unbelievable.
Father, what brings you out here today?
I wanted to take part in the occasion.
What is your position on Elon Musk and Doge?
How about President Trump?
Isn't he a pretty good, as far as non-Catholic presidents go, hasn't he done a good job in terms of looking out for those who do consider themselves Roman Catholics?
He's terrible.
What about Joe Biden?
Biden was good.
Really? Isn't he pro-choice?
I...
Maybe he can't hear.
But you said to him, are you pro-choice?
And he went like that.
I said, isn't Biden pro-choice?
And then you said, are you pro-choice?
No, he said, are you really a priest?
Play that again.
Maybe I missed it.
Father, what brings you out here today?
I wanted to take part in the occasion.
What is your position on Elon Musk and Doge?
How about President Trump?
Isn't he a pretty good, as far as non-Catholic presidents go, hasn't he done a good job in terms of looking out for those who do consider themselves Roman Catholics?
He's terrible.
What about Joe Biden?
Biden was good.
Really? Isn't he pro-choice?
*laughs*
Don't ever doubt my powers of observation.
I think that guy's up to a lot of no good, and he wears the priest outfit to cover it.
We got a whole conspiracy theory here, isn't it?
Let's have the viewers look into it.
Okay. Well, I mean, that's very, very disappointing because that was one of the staples, you know.
Well, it's one of the key things about Western civilization, the value of human life.
And when it deteriorates, You know, you see Trump really upset.
Like today, he just interrupted in the middle of the BB press conference and said he's very disturbed about all the killing that's still going on in Ukraine.
The bombing that Putin is doing.
And you can hear a legitimate concern for people dying.
You never hear that from Putin or Zelensky.
I love that about President Trump.
He really cares when he speaks about it.
It's really heartfelt, doesn't it?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
He seems like he only cares about the Ukrainians and the Russians who are dying.
The rest of them are trying to figure out how much money they can get and how much territory they can get.
$200 billion from the U.S. and all these arms and then we can sell it to the Mexican cartels.
We'll give you the minerals.
We won't give you the minerals.
We'll give you 20%.
What about the 2 million lives that have been lost and countless more on the line?
Well, Ted, let's do our sports now.
Let's catch everybody up on sports.
This is where Ted...
Shimes. We'll have Allison stay with us.
You can stay here.
So we're talking sports.
All right, Mayor, where do you want to start?
Let's begin with...
Basketball? You want to begin with Ovechkin?
Sure. You want to begin with the White House today?
Your call.
The White House today.
Because I was my fellow Yankee fan.
With whom I have watched any number of Yankee games with George Steinbrenner was honoring the Dodgers who humiliated us this season.
And I thought he was quite a gentleman.
I thought he would get sarcastic.
I'm glad he didn't.
And I think George from up in heaven is okay with it.
Because George was a baseball man.
But let's take a look.
He was really very funny.
Particularly since Shifty Schiff was in the audience.
Probably. Healthy arms.
You ran out of really healthy.
They had great arms, but they ran out.
It's called sports.
It's called baseball in particular.
And pitchers, I guess you could say, in really particular.
But the starting rotation during the National League Division Series, this scrappy Dodgers bullpen shut out the Padres, saved the season, and forced Game 5. Then key players battled back from midseason injuries to help deliver the National League pennant.
Including superstars Mookie Betts.
Oh, is she good?
Well, Mookie Betts is the second biggest mistake of the Boston Red Sox.
Who was the first biggest mistake?
You got it.
But he gave them to us, the Yankees.
You see Ohtani there?
I did.
That guy's unbelievable.
And very handsome.
If I was to remarry again after Teddy Goodman, it would be Shohei Ohani.
And can you marry us here, Mayor?
Well, I'd marry you to Shohei Ohani.
Teddy Goodman, I don't know.
Wow, what competition, right?
How would you like to compete with maybe one of the greatest baseball players of all time?
We'll have to see.
You'll have to practice with me, Mayor.
Teach me some baseball.
I am completely old-fashioned about baseball.
I don't like the fact that they're going to...
I hope they've decided they're going to use him as a hitter.
The way they did with Bruce.
He was hurt last year.
I'm not sure Ruth would ever have set the home run record if they had kept him as a pitcher and a hitter.
You can't be a pitcher and a hitter in baseball.
And not only does it ruin your schedule for hitting, but there's too much preparation in being a pitcher.
And it takes away...
If they just let him be a hitter, he'll be a much better hitter than if they let him be a pitcher at the same time.
Now, he got injured last year and he couldn't pitch.
He had a great season.
That should have been a real sign to the Dodgers.
Now, if they want a circus act, use him as a pitcher and a hitter.
If they want a real baseball player, use him as a hitter.
That's a good way of putting it, right?
He can sell tickets, right?
It's such an unprecedented talent.
So the Dodgers not only have won the World Series, but the last time I checked, they're 9-1 this year.
Yep. Do you think they'll go back-to-back?
Don't tell me that.
I want the Yankees to win.
When was the last time the Yankees went back-to-back?
Oh, the last time they went back-to-back was in...
Who was the mayor?
Rudy Giuliani was the mayor.
And they haven't gone back-to-back since then because they don't have my advice.
So Joe Torre won three in a row because of me.
He won three out of four because of me.
He won 14 World Series games in a row.
Oh, not just back-to-back, but three in a row.
Yeah, yeah, three in a row.
One, two, three.
What year was that?
We beat 98, 99, and 2000.
Amazing. And in 97, we won the last four games.
Then we missed 96. We won four in a row.
Then we missed 97. In 98, we won four in a row.
In 99, we won four in a row.
That's 4-8-12.
Then we played the Mets in 2000, and we won two in a row.
So we won 14 World Series games in a row.
We blew one game to the mix, and then we beat them.
So we won three World Series in a row.
That's amazing.
Last time that happened.
And it hasn't been replicated since, right?
No. The Yankees actually have four in a row.
Twice. What year was that?
That had been in the late 40s and early 50s.
And then in the Babe Ruth-Lou Gehrig teams in the 1930s.
Historic, historic team.
The Yankees have won four in a row twice, three in a row once.
Once? They won three in a row once, four in a row twice.
The Babe Ruth-Lou Gehrig team won the four in a row.
The Joe DiMaggio-Mickey Mantle transition won the four in a row.
Right. And consistent player for all those teams, that second group, Yogi Berra, is the catcher on all four teams.
That's your guy.
On all four, yeah.
Four. In the 90s, they won.
Go ahead.
In the 90s, they did three in a row.
In the 70s, they did two in a row.
But in the 50s, they did four in a row.
And in the 30s, they did four in a row.
Right. Now, the next subject in sports.
So, of course, we have Ovechkin, right?
You're the hockey guys.
You tell us.
Yep. Go ahead, Steven.
Do you have that?
I'm sorry.
I'm trying to get a tweet up in relation to our show.
But Alex Ovechkin, of course, the great center for the Washington Capitals.
He's been playing now for over 20 years, I believe.
Yeah, constantly would beat the Rangers.
That's a special record to beat the most goals.
Has the most goals in the history of the National Hockey League.
And a fun fact we learned today, Wayne Gretzky shook his hand, and I guess he was the first one to shake his hand after he broke the record.
We'll have to check the tape because he must have celebrated with his teammates at some point.
But when Wayne Gretzky broke the gold record, Gordie Howe had it at the time.
Gordie Howe met with Wayne Gretzky at the time and shook his hand.
It's a tradition.
These are the greatest athletes that I can think of.
Somehow Ovechkin didn't reach the same popular acclaim.
As Wayne Gretzky.
Or even Gordie Howe.
Or even Sidney Crosby.
He's young.
He's not young, but he's young.
He's definitely not young.
He's on his way out.
He's devastating.
I'm a Ranger fan.
I've watched them play in playoffs a lot.
I was in Washington.
Went to a couple of games when I was there representing Trump.
okay which you know it's crossing with chickpeas out of the way you have utilize 13 to the last 14 short-handed situations you don't see how big he is but when you see him from crisscrossing with chikrin through center send in wilson on the flank cross i so that's good fires and that's just the classic the chasing days are done alex right Now show the ceremony.
You're going to get an idea how big this man is.
Okay. And this is not a big man's goal.
This is a goal scorer's goal from way out.
But he makes a lot of goals right by the net.
Just pushes everybody out of the way.
Right. Is he as good a skater?
Now, you guys, is he as good a skater as Gretzky?
Yes. As good, I don't want to say.
Wayne Gretzky's got a unique place.
Because Gretzky wasn't as big as he is.
He wasn't as strong.
And training has evolved as well, skating.
Weights and...
Yes, and diet.
General knowledge.
And actually, Wayne Gretzky, that's one of the things he's doing to give back to the hockey community.
And actually, we're going to have a Wayne Gretzky Hockey Academy here in Palm Beach soon.
Palm Beach County.
Oh, really?
Now, look at the size of him!
Now, I know he's got little pads on him, but that's still a very big guy.
Right. Right.
We gotta have the size.
Now, I have to tell you, I would guarantee you that when one hour of that, he got a call congratulating him from Vladimir Putin.
You think?
I know.
They're close?
I know they're close, yeah.
Putin plays hockey, did you know that?
I don't know what that means.
I just want to tell you, you've got to know that.
Putin likes to think of himself as quite the hockey player.
Could you imagine getting on the ice with Vladimir Putin?
I mean, if you're Russian, if you're one of the Russian citizens, what do you do?
If I were 25, I wouldn't mind.
You've got to get out of the way.
People are just getting out of the way.
No, that'd be fun.
They might disappear.
Take a college hockey player and knock the shit out of Putin.
Well. He's not that big a guy, Putin.
He's not.
He's not Ovechkin, I'll tell you that.
That's right.
And he's not the best skater either.
I don't know if that puts me on a hit list.
Trump is easily about three inches taller.
Yeah. Bush was taller.
Well, you've met him numerous times.
President Trump is tall, though.
Well, we've had a great time tonight.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
I believe the mayor, maybe this is intentional, we both filled out a bracket for the March Madness NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament.
We don't have to bring up your bracket.
Neither of us are doing well.
Neither of us are doing well.
You've got one team in the final four, and I didn't get one team, and it's the same thing.
I picked Duke, and you picked that inadequate team from Houston.
I did pick Houston.
That's because Ted's a savant.
Who we're going to lose tonight.
You guys have a newsroom bet going on.
We're going to lose tonight to our hometown team, Florida.
That's right.
We're now both...
I'm a Florida resident.
You are.
I still will root for the Rangers over them.
But I'll root for the University.
I do want to bring up my bracket.
I'm not going to bring up the mayor's bracket.
We don't have to.
But there is Houston in the championship game.
You got one right.
I'm not asking for...
I got one of the two championship teams right.
But that game is tonight.
The mayor likes to keep everyone informed on what's going on.
So tonight is the basketball championship.
It could have been Duke very easily at the end of that game.
It should have been Duke.
I think of Duke as like the Yankees of college basketball.
They've got a big, strong fan base, but if you don't like them, you hate them.
Nobody likes the Yankees.
What's that?
Nobody likes the Yankees.
Unless you're a Yankee fan.
Nobody likes the Yankees, who will win 27 championships.
Duke didn't even come close to 26. Oh, I see.
They're not like the Yankees.
No! They're little peasants.
I'm saying how I've perceived them in my lifetime.
Compared to the Yankees, I love Duke.
My son went to Duke.
They're little peasants.
Yes, absolutely.
That's the mayor of the Yankees.
How dare anyone compare anyone to the Yankees?
How dare you compare them?
You can't.
You can't.
And when you're talking about Otani.
I would rather marry Aaron Judge.
Well, I guess I can't, really, because I'm committed to one side.
I think in certain...
I think it is now legal.
I know it's probably legal, and it would probably make me popular, but I'm still...
Hollywood. That's a big Hollywood break.
The whole idea gets me crazy.
But I love Judge.
I think he's a fabulous player.
And except for the fact that he can't pitch, there's no doubt he has more power than Otani.
You're a better home run hitter.
I would like to see those two.
Ohtani and Judge have about the same batting average.
But Judge, per game, probably has twice as many home runs.
But I'm going to tell you, if you make Ohtani just a hitter, those numbers are going to go up.
You think so?
You think it's a mistake?
I think it's a mistake.
Pitching, I was a catcher.
Pitching takes a lot out of you.
So physical.
They only let a pitcher pitch every three or four days.
It's rare, except for a relief pitcher or a one- or two-inning pitcher, they'll never take a starting pitcher, pitch him today six innings, and pitch him tomorrow.
The schedule used to be four days.
Now it's five days, sometimes six.
Because it's so taxing.
It looks very taxing.
The next day, you don't throw anything.
Usually, you have a bullpen session, a little throwing session, two days later, just a little bit.
And then the third day, you throw a little bit more.
Fourth day, a little bit more.
You take one day off and you work your way back into...
And they are so coddled now and so carefully regulated in terms of innings that it's got to be a tremendous pressure on a guy like Otani to be a pitcher.
I don't know the answer to that.
Well, you know, I have examined his face a lot because he's very handsome and good looking.
You know how I want to marry him.
But what I have noticed from a technical standpoint is that he's very stoic.
The guy's a poker face.
Have you noticed that?
It's hard to see what he's thinking.
He's almost like a very calm, deliberate Japanese businessman.
I like that about him.
Yeah, my guess is, since he's a pitcher.
As well as a hitter.
He's a very thoughtful hitter.
I think he thinks about...
He's a pitcher.
He does what they do.
So he's thinking.
He's trying to think.
He's trying to think of what are they going to throw.
That's probably a giant layup for him.
Yeah, I mean, a lot of pitchers...
Oh, okay.
Very strategic.
Because you can do both sides.
I think he should do both sides.
A lot of hitters try to guess what the pitcher is going to throw.
And then...
When the ball comes in at 92 or 93, up to 100 miles an hour, you honestly don't get to see it.
You see it as it comes out of the hand of the pitcher.
The rest of it is instinct.
The rest of it is knowing that this guy, when it comes out of his hand here, the ball goes like that.
So you're saying because he pitches, he gets inside the head of the pitcher.
He probably...
can do a better job of interpreting that.
And the way I just did that is more thinking than they would do.
They do it based on muscle memory.
The muscle memory of a guy who comes in high, a guy who comes in the middle, and where to adjust the back.
they want to change it, once the ball is there, they can't.
The ball comes in there too fast.
And at the end, you don't see the ball.
It's so fast.
I never thought about that.
No one's thrown a ball that fast at me.
Not yet.
Sometimes when they swing a little above or a little below, right, which this much could have been a home run, it's because they made the wrong calculation out of the pitcher's hand.
It's a fabulous science, hitting.
It's probably the hardest thing in sports to do, to hit a 90-plus mile an hour pitch.
It sounds very hard.
Unbelievable hand-eye coordination.
And then you have to translate that hand-eye coordination into muscle memory.
And the guy who had the best was Ted Williams.
The best hand-eye coordination.
And it made him a great fighter pilot, too.
Oh, really?
Yeah, he was one of the great fighter pilots in the Second World War.
Oh, I didn't know that.
Yeah. Because he could do the same thing.
Well, that's our sports for tonight.
Connected to war.
Right. And we'll be back tomorrow night.
And we'll be on...
We'll be...
We'll be on Lindell TV at 7 and X for the Rudy Giuliani show.
Then we'll be here at 8 on X where Ted went over $80 million or something like that.
You should put Ted here.
Amazing. Let's see if they go further.
Keep watching.
Let's see if we go to $100 million.
Wouldn't that be great?
We've got to get our watermark on these videos in the future.
I don't know what that means, but let's do it.
Let's put our watermark on.
What, do we have to put it in water?
Just add a little America's Mayor Live logo to the top of the video.
And I recommend if you have a little extra time, listen to a little of the Trump interview today with Bibi.
It was like a college lecture on politics.
They'll never give him credit for it, but it's amazing.
No American president has ever shared with the American people his thinking the way Trump has.
Of course, the early ones wouldn't have had the opportunity to do it.
Maybe Lincoln would have.
I love that.
Very transparent.
That's a great thing for citizens in a democracy.
He never gets credit for it, but we'll give him credit for it.
So, pray for the people of Israel.
It's time that we have peace in Ukraine.
And Putin, will you stop the damn bombing?
Jesus. What are you, just like killing?
Stop the war.
Yeah. Stop the killing.
You know, I've had my problems with Zelensky, too, but you're the main problem.
So, stop it.
You've convinced people you're a cold-blooded murderer.
Maybe you could end your life.
Calming it down a little.
You pretend to believe in God, so stop the killing.
In Iran, I don't know, talk to Iran, talk to the Ayatollah, and then just get ready to take out the nuclear weapons, because we've got to destroy Iran.
We've got to get rid of the Ayatollah.
We are never going to have peace in the Middle East, so pray for the people of Iran.
Pray for the people of Israel.
They deserve a solid, strong peace and they've got a great leader who helped us a lot.
He was sort of like, did our dirty work for the last year.
And finally, of course, pray for the United States and the President.
Thank you very much, Allison.
You were terrific.
Thank you, Mayor.
God bless the Mayor.
Thank you.
And God bless America!
So what makes Trump a fascist?
Uh...
What makes Trump a fascist?
He does things without...
Yeah, talk loud.
I don't have my mic on.
I'm not really good at interviews.
Sorry? He just doesn't...
He just does everything he wants and, you know, not following laws or, you know.
He's a convicted felon, you know, that's all I know.
But your sign says he's a fascist, and I'm just curious what makes him a fascist.
One of the things is that he's trying to control the media, right?
Say that again?
He's trying to control the narrative.
How is he trying to control the media?
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.
There 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.
