America’s Mayor Live (667): President Trump Kicks Off High-Stakes Middle East Trip in Saudi Arabia
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
Good evening.
This is Rudy Giuliani, and this is America's Mayor Live.
Live from beautiful Palm Beach.
And today, as you know, the president was in Saudi Arabia, and we will be covering that and the implications of that, and also the China deal, which is quite a breakthrough, once again, like the one with the UK.
Which is being minimized as much as possible, not only by the mainstream communist media, but also by the rhino media or the China's behind media, whichever we want to call the group that tries to make tariffs as if they're the coming of Satan or something, rather than a device meant to make an economy fair.
Because you cannot have free trade with unfair rules.
That's not free trade.
That's dominated trade.
Pope Benedict now has been in office, it seems like, Pope Benedict rather, Pope Leo has been in office now like forever, it seems.
And I think there's a very important day coming up tomorrow.
Particularly for the Pope.
And I say that because one of the objections that I had to Pope Francis was his actions that benefited communism.
It seemed to me that he was much too comfortable with socialism and communism than he should be for a Catholic pontiff.
And particularly with the role that he gave China in the selection of Roman Catholic bishops and cardinals in China, which has led to the persecution of some of those people.
During that period of time, you might remember, I tried to, not that he would listen to me, but I tried to remind the Pontiff.
Of Our Lady of Fatima.
Well, tomorrow is a good time to remind everyone of it, because it's the feast day of Our Lady of Fatima, May 13th.
It was on May 13th, 1917, that the Virgin Mary appeared to three young...
I guess they were shepherd children.
Lucia dos Santos being the major...
I think that was the last...
I don't know what that was.
Oh, this is the Our Lady of Fatima...
What do they call it?
Gathering last year?
The shrine.
It is the shrine in Portugal.
The Fatima Shrine.
And was that...
Well, there were two major days that you remember, Fatima.
One is tomorrow, the day of the first apparition.
And the other is October 13th, which is the day of the last apparition.
So they were on the 13th of every month from May to October 1917, which was while the Second World War was being fought.
And the three shepherd children were Lucia dos Santos and her cousins Francesco and Jacinta Marto.
When is the feast of the Lady Fatima?
Well, today.
Okay, so these are pictures from, I believe it would be like the last one before this one.
And wow, what a crowd.
Well, they gather both tomorrow and then they gather again on the 13th of October.
That's incredible.
And we were talking earlier about candles and how they sort of like bring out some of our humanity.
And that just looked like 10,000, 20,000.
The Blessed Virgin Mary appeared.
As the Queen of the Most Holy Rosary, and asked the children to continue praying the rosary daily.
She also gave the children three prophecies known as the Secrets of Fatima.
And on October 13, 1917, there was a, what they believe to be, and many of the people there, a miraculous event where thousands of people witnessed the sun dancing in the sky.
And casting off multicolored lights.
And the apparitions led to the establishment of devotion to Mary's Immaculate Heart.
And then in her last message that was held for a number of years, she said that Russia had to be consecrated again to God and to Jesus, condemning the horrors of communism and predicting the horrors of communism.
If something wasn't done about it.
The 13th, by the way, is the feast day of Our Lady of Fatima.
The one that's of critical moment now, which we'll spend some time on tomorrow, is the third secret of Fatima, which was revealed in 1960.
And it was a revelation of the future, specifically concerning Russia and communism.
And the world's response to it.
And if people heed the message, then Russia will be converted, and if they don't, it won't.
And, of course, they didn't.
And it also predicted the suffering of the Holy Father, which Pope John Paul II, or Saint John Paul II, believed was the attempt to take his life.
The core of the Third Secret is a call to prayer, penance and devotion to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, and First Saturday devotions.
And it specifically mentions Russia and communism, and the danger that communism presented to, not just to Christianity, but to the world, and to the condition of the world, and to the freedom of the world, and that we have free will.
And that we have to organize to end it and to convert Russia.
So tomorrow, we'll go into more detail about it, but if you are a Catholic, tomorrow would be a good day to go to Mass, because they'll be celebrating the Mass for the feast day of Our Lady of Fatima, who, when I was a child, was of great significance in the Catholic Church.
And new Pope, baby!
And I'm sure this Pope, because he's roughly, you know, a little younger than I am, but still that same era of Catholicism.
I mean, one of the reasons why the old Mass troubles people is it always ends with a prayer for the conversion of Russia.
I ended every Latin Mass with a prayer for the conversion of Russia because of the admonition of Our Lady of Fatima.
So it's grilled India.
Communism?
No, no, no.
Anti-communism.
Oh, my goodness.
There was no institution in the world that combats communism or fears communism or has fought communism or stood against communism than the Roman Catholic Church.
Or the Reagan administration.
Yeah, but institutionally, way back since 19, well, before 1917, in fact, Leo XIII.
When people refer to it as a cyclical, rerum novarum, yes, it talks about fairness to the worker, but it condemns both excessive capitalism and then it specifically condemns even more socialism and communism.
So I am hoping that the selection of the name Leo for Leo XIII is not just the social...
The social justice part of his life, which is beautiful and wonderful, but also the understanding that there is no social justice when there is no freedom, which is what Pope Leo XIII wrote in the most famous encyclical probably in the history of the Church.
So we'll see.
Tomorrow is the Feast of Our Lady of Fatima, and we'll see if the Pope It emphasizes that aspect of one of the most important apparitions along with Lourdes, which took place years earlier in Spain.
And that has more to do with the healing of the sick.
In France, France.
Lourdes, France.
France, I'm sorry.
Did I say Spain?
Yes, but it's right on the border.
You can actually walk right across.
I've been to Lourdes.
It's near where the...
Spanish separatists are.
Yeah, yeah, and it's funny.
You've got to be careful there.
Back in the day, you could just hike across.
You've got some people there that are pretty darn serious in that border area of Spain.
The Pope's brother, Louis, I don't know if it's Louis or Louis, prevost.
Now, he's our kind of guy.
He's from Chicago.
It's Louis.
Louis from, well, actually, I don't know that for sure.
So here's an article in the post.
He was asked if he would take back his tweet in which he referred to Nancy Pelosi as a drunk C2-T.
I wouldn't have posted it if I didn't kind of believe it, he said.
He didn't seek forgiveness for it.
He basically said it was well-deserved.
And in his interview with Piers Morgan, which we have to see if we can get a copy of, all right?
He is a self-professed Donald Trump fan, and he's 73, and he voted for Trump, and he says, I'm a maggot type, and I have my beliefs.
He did not ascribe his beliefs to his brother, but he did speak of his brother in a very loving and beautiful way.
And this is, of course, there are two brothers.
You've seen probably both of them.
This is the older brother.
Then there's a middle brother who was the one who quite emphatically declared that the Pope is a White Sox fan.
And then, of course, there's Robert, who was known as Rob, who used to say mass play priest when he was a little boy.
And I have confessed that I did, too.
So it really.
Let's hear from the brother on Pierce.
Careful about maybe reposting something like that, or do you stand proudly by your rather lively posting?
Well, I posted it.
And I wouldn't have posted it if I didn't kind of believe it.
However, I had no idea that what was coming was coming this soon.
And I can tell you, since then, I've been very quiet, biting my tongue at some of the stuff that is out there on social media.
Because I don't want to create waves that don't need to be there.
Because I'm a MAGA-type, and I have my beliefs.
I don't need to create heat for him.
He's going to have enough to handle as it is without the press going, the Pope's brother says this.
What a great guy.
God, I want to meet that guy.
I want to go to a ballgame with him.
We're working on it.
All I can tell him is Cardinal Dolan will drink beer at a ballgame with you too.
It's nice to see that one of the most...
I mean, along with Donald Trump and then some of the bad guys, right?
Putin, Xi, these are the most important people in the world.
Right?
I mean, they're going to determine the fate of the world, these people.
I guess I'm missing a few, but...
Well, if we go back to that Saudi investment conference...
Hard to get more powerful than Donald Trump when you...
Probably the best-known person in the world.
Whatever the attempt by China to match us, it's still, without any doubt, the strongest military in the history of the world.
And by far, the biggest economy.
We dominate China's economy.
Here's an interesting question.
Who, at this point, is more famous worldwide, President Trump or Pope Leo?
Well, I would imagine right now, President Trump.
Pope Leo could be as famous or more, ultimately.
I would think of two popes in my lifetime that were enormously famous.
Pope Pius XII was very famous because he was the pope during some of the war and for a long period of time.
But really, it was John XXIII who brought about the Vatican Council, who became even more famous because he had just a tremendous charisma.
And then it was very hard to think of a pope that was more popular than Pope John Paul II from Poland, who helped to win the Cold War.
I mean, he was the first one that really traveled all over the world.
It seemed to me he traveled four times a year.
So he went to every corner of the world.
I love it when they travel.
So you would have to say, who was more well-known during that period of time?
Ronald Reagan or Pope John Paul II between 1977 to 1990.
Hard to say.
And depending on how outgoing he is, he has the potential.
He also has the potential of outlasting President Trump.
He's not term limited.
Very long tenure, potentially.
I mean, God willing, given his condition now, which of course isn't any prediction of what it will be 10 years from now, but the idea of his being there 20 years is not unheard of.
And we're talking about Trump right now?
No.
Trump better just be there a few more years and we'll have a revolution of some kind.
I mean, gosh, it's almost a conservative prediction to say...
He's 69. He'll be there until he's 85. That's a pretty long papacy.
It's almost like his namesake, Leo XIII, who became one of the most famous popes.
When they have a long tenure, they can have a big, big impact.
And he seems like a person who has some, even though people might say he's somewhat moderate, he's moderate in a very, very difficult time.
So between very, very angry extremes, so he's going to have a big impact.
And I believe it'll be for the good, but I mean, who knows?
And if we look back to Leo XIII, the earliest born human to appear on film, we kind of see that the impact of the medium with regard to how famous these popes can get, and I don't know what's on the frontier for us, but if he's got 20 years in him...
Who knows what?
Well, 20 years will take them to 89. But, you know, 89 isn't as old as 89 was 20 years ago.
And 10 years from now, 89 might be a lot younger than it is right now.
Yes, sir.
And they live well.
A prayerful life is a good, healthy way to live.
So some of those guys can get pretty old.
I think this is going to be a traveler.
Good.
I think he's going to be on that airplane a lot.
You see, the amount of Holy Spirit that gets injected into the areas that the Pope visits is just incredible.
Oh, I've been there too.
Yeah.
I mean, I've had it happen in New York a couple of times, but I happen to have been in Arizona when Pope John Paul II was in Arizona.
Oh, yeah.
And it was unbelievable.
What did he do?
Was it a big tour?
He said mass.
Oh, gosh almighty.
He had half of the south there, half of the southwest there.
Outside?
Inside?
Outside.
Oh, that's probably so cool.
Of course, with the Hispanic Catholics who were going crazy over it.
Just going absolutely crazy over it.
Oh, that'd be fun.
I mean, he was also an actor.
It's like a big, big production, too, when they come into town.
He was originally an actor.
Nice.
Sort of a local actor in Poland, but he had that dramatic ability.
He was also imprisoned.
Quite a man.
Pope Leo has taken up an issue where he can be enormously helpful because we've got quite a brilliant man here who has the time to think through these things in a neutral way, and that is the danger of AI.
We all know that AI is very, very useful and very, very dangerous.
But most of us don't have the intellect, the knowledge, or the wisdom, frankly, and time to really...
Quite understand how to get the best out of it and how to curb its dangers.
I mean, in some cases, people want to stop it.
That would be very foolish.
And it's not going to happen, so you might as well not stop it.
And I see an analogy between him and his namesake, Leo XIII.
Leo XIII took over a church that was an aristocratic church.
It was the Church of the Rich.
And communism was coming along to, and communism was along, and Marx had already written Das Kapital and Engel, and the revolutions were going to take place, communist revolutions were going to take place during his papacy.
And his rerum novarum saved Europe to a very large extent from communism, because it gave them a way of dealing with the social injustices, as we did in the United States, ultimately.
Without having to resort to the extremes of socialism and communism.
And although Pope Francis did seem to have a real fondness for socialism, which I do not understand, and a real hatred of American economic system, basically, Pope Leo is the architect.
Of the kind of economic system we have, which is a capitalist system, but with a very, very gigantic, some people think too big, social safety net.
That social safety net comes about in our Western countries because of the Pope, who at that time would listen to him.
It also helped us to contain the dangers of the industrial era.
When the machine took over for the man and the woman, reduced the number of jobs in that area, could have dehumanized us and gave us a real explanation of purpose for our humanity.
Well, that's what's going to happen to the people who work with their minds.
So the Industrial Revolution had the capacity of destroying the worth of the people who work with their hands, the machines, replacing it.
And we made the transition and understood the dangers.
Now the danger is that artificial intelligence can take over for any of us who do work with our minds.
But artificial intelligence is going to make its determinations based on algorithms, not based on a conscience, a soul, a history of humanity, love, emotion.
Belief in a supreme being.
It's going to make it based on algorithms.
Well, I hope that it enables us to live a more prayerful lifestyle.
It could potentially.
Well, it could.
I mean, but we have to make certain that we don't lose our ability to read, our ability to reason.
It's already happening.
Our ability to write.
The young kids.
If reading is a question of morality.
You have to insist that people learn how to read.
It's as important to teach them how to read as it is to overcome malaria.
Because if you can't read, you can't think for yourself.
Well, it's reading, but it's thinking, too.
Well, that's what reading does.
Thinking doesn't happen magically.
And idea generation as well.
A lot of the creativity is being taken over by these AIs, especially with young.
And if you never flex that muscle, you're never going to develop it.
That's why reading and writing, we have under 30% of...
Grade school kids in this country can read properly.
We're at a crisis point.
I don't want to hear the other side of it.
Yeah, I was going to say, there is no other side of it.
The other side is the same.
They are reading and writing at record levels on the phone, right?
But the thing is, the communication is not...
They're not.
They're not.
They're typing and texting.
Yeah, see, it's bad stuff.
There's a...
There is a...
When I'm talking about reading...
It's reading a thousand page book.
Exactly.
Even my generation, we were not taught.
I will tell you an analogy to music because I've always been a classical music lover.
What I object to with a lot of modern music is it develops the habit of attention deficit disorder.
You listen to a piece of music in two or three minutes.
You're not used to sitting down for 45 minutes and listening to music.
Now, if you sit down and you listen to Beethoven's Ninth Symphony.
From beginning to end, that's going to be a commitment of about an hour.
But while you're doing that, your mind, if you spend even just a little time studying the music and the themes, your mind is going to be operating.
Yes.
You're going to be creating word pictures in your mind, and it's going to be creating emotions, and it's going to be creating feelings.
And that's what I call a prayerful experience.
Yeah, and that's why when I became mayor...
The first thing that I did was restore the requirement of arts education in all the public schools because we did away with arts education.
Oh, just become like China.
If you don't teach arts to your children, you deprive them of the ability to abstract.
And if they can't abstract, they can't think for themselves.
And AI can take that away from us.
Or it can be used to enhance it.
And I think the Pope.
Is a very appropriate person to write about this from a moral point of view and give us some very, very good practical things we can do so that we keep our mind alive.
Because if we can't keep our mind alive, religion is going to suffer.
Do you want to go to Pope Leo saying that?
Can we?
Yes, sir.
Yeah.
...per i giorni che hanno preceduto, dolorose le perdita del Santo Padre Francesco, impegnativi per le responsabilità affrontate insieme a me.
Well, I don't think we're going to understand it in Italian or Latin.
We're not that advanced yet.
But he did make it clear that this is something that...
It has to be looked at in great depth and from the point of view of morality as well as just practicality.
We need to consider society, human development, individual rights, and the defense of human dignity, justice, and labor.
And he's very much corrected.
This has to become a subject of great thought.
We have to think of what we are going to construct to make sure that we retain one of, if not the most precious gifts that we have, which is our ability to reason.
It's what leads us to God.
Well, we're going to take a short break and we'll be right back.
Thank 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 grain, very good quality.
Most people don't use this quality.
We deal with small farmers because we like to know who we're dealing with.
They give us the highest quality, all organic, non-GMO.
You should know, all Arabica beans.
No robusto.
All Arabica.
They're going to go into the roaster.
And it'll get roasted for about 20 minutes or so.
*music*
Oh my goodness, look at these!
My goodness!
You're gonna want to specially order these.
This is what goes into Rudy's coffee.
This is Rudy Giuliani back again.
And I'm going to just show you, before we move on to another subject, probably the most famous holy picture of Our Lady of Fatima that I used to have on my wall.
And there it is with the three little children.
You know, Lucia died in the 21st century.
Lucia de los Santos.
And there's a movie in Portuguese, but with a beautiful, beautiful American translation called Our Lady of Fatima.
I believe it was done in 2000.
So it's quite modern.
And it is said to be a rather accurate description of it.
There was a more famous movie done back in the 1950s that was also quite beautiful, but probably at that point not quite as accurate because there was a lot of research they were able to do in that 50-year period.
So I would recommend getting that.
You can get it on YouTube.
You can get both of them on YouTube.
I don't know where else you can get them, but you can certainly get them on YouTube.
We know that right now the Republicans are debating a tax bill.
They're also debating an entire, as Trump likes to say, the big beautiful three-point bill which will fund the government, hopefully reduce spending, and they're hoping for about pretty close to a trillion dollars worth of cuts over a 10-year period.
We'll have to see.
If they can get there, they really need more than that, but that would be a good start toward dealing with our perennial deficit.
And also, getting these tax cuts regularized would really stabilize our economy, because the last time they went into effect, our economy started to boom.
And for all of the lies of the Democrats, these are tax cuts that, by and large, help the middle class.
They're really geared to help working people, people who work, who pay all the taxes after all.
I mean, if you don't work, you don't pay taxes.
So if we have, I mean, there was a period of time where we were getting close to and maybe going over more people not paying taxes than taxes.
So transfer payments to people not paying taxes.
Don't really help.
I mean, they do help in terms of social welfare, but they don't help within terms of making a fair tax structure.
It's the problem with saying, oh, let's tax the rich even more.
The rich pay almost all of our taxes.
I mean, if the top 1% pay something like 30% Of the taxes.
The top 10% pay something like 60 to 70% of the taxes.
And the top 40% pay all the taxes.
So, because a lot of people at the lower end get tax refunds that wipe out their taxes.
And then there are all the people who don't reach the minimum to be taxed.
Yet they're making In some cases, due to the excessive transfer payments created by Biden, they're making more money than they would make if they were working.
So this bill has to straighten that all out.
So they're talking about, like, cutting Medicaid.
And, Stephen, you had a great, you know, please, nobody wants to cut Medicaid.
And nobody wants to cut money for people who are sick so that you have the money to take care of yourself.
But you have to be an absolute brithering fool not to realize that there's a tremendous amount of fraud involved in Medicaid.
Now, cutting fraud is not cutting anybody who's being treated for cancer, being treated for COVID, being treated for tuberculosis, being treated for anything.
They're stealing it, a lot of it.
There is a tremendous amount of Medicaid fraud.
So if you're cutting fraud, You're helping people to maintain the integrity of the program.
I don't know why Democrats want to mislead you that way.
Now, would you explain the analogy you used?
I thought it was a very, very good analogy.
Well, let's hope we can do it justice, but it's like if you're going to cut cancer out of the body...
It's not harming the body to cut the cancer.
Yeah, it would be like saying if they're going to do a cancer operation on me, right?
And I had a tumor.
Oh, you're cutting it.
The Republicans want to cut people.
The Republicans want to cut people.
What terrible Republicans.
They just want to cut poor people.
And we want to cut the cancer out.
No, we want to cut out the cancer that's going to kill you.
Exactly.
That's what we want to do.
So what we want to cut is the money that's being stolen.
Triple billed, quadruple billed.
Build for people that don't exist.
Excessive charges for things that should cost a third of what they charge.
That has to be done.
If not, eventually the program will die.
And we'll die.
So stop it.
Stop putting your ridiculous political career ahead of the lives and the safety and health of people.
Medicaid needs to be cut in order to be honest, not in order to take care of people.
It's taking care of people, but it's also creating a tremendous amount of theft.
So that's where that $900 billion to $1 trillion in cost cuts can take place.
And we really owe...
Elon Musk, who, if he wasn't so wealthy, he'd probably been destroyed for just attempting.
I mean, all the things he came up with were absurd wastes of money.
And Medicaid has maybe more of it than any.
Basically, the tax cuts aim to put more money in the pockets of hardworking Americans, the ones who are bearing the burden of paying the taxes.
That's the idea of it.
We got no tax on tips and no tax on overtime.
Well, they haven't passed that yet.
Well, that's what's proposed.
But the standard deduction is going to...
These are the things that help the middle class people.
The standard deduction is going to be raised.
The child care credit is going to be raised.
This is money you just get.
So, when they say it doesn't help the middle class, like hell it doesn't.
You raised a standard deduction.
That's helping just about all the...
Many people who aren't wealthy use the standard deduction.
They don't use all the crazy deductions that exist, which have been simplified.
But they still are crazy.
They use the standard deduction.
That's like putting money in their pocket.
And the Democrats don't want to do it, and the Republicans do, which is why we've shifted.
The Republicans have become the party of the working people.
And the Democrats have become the party of MS-13, right?
And I was going to say tax lawyers, too.
And they don't pay taxes.
The Democrats want to bring them back from El Salvador.
They didn't rape enough people.
Let me see if I can rape a few more people.
Senator whatever the hell his name is, Von Bubenbubu, says that I can come back and I can...
Beat up my wife again.
So we still have some things that can be done to this bill.
Like, how about taxing universities on their endowment?
Why is that tax-free for private universities?
I don't get it.
$50 billion endowment Harvard has just to train you to be a communist?
I don't get it.
For the academics.
For the academics?
So we can be a proud nation of academics.
So we can all be trained to hate Jewish people.
Yeah, see, that's where it loses me, honestly.
They're also increasing the estate tax exemption, which they should get rid of the estate tax.
The estate tax is getting taxed twice.
All that money that's being taken out of your estate, you already pay taxes on.
You've already paid taxes all your life on it.
Now it goes to your kids and they tax it again.
So now they're going up to a $15 million exemption, which should spare just about anybody.
And when you say $15 million, you think, oh my goodness, that's a lot.
You know, I did this when I ran for president.
I did a program on all the farms that were going to be lost.
Because at that time, you know, if you had like $2, $3, $4, $5 million, you were going to get taxed and the government would take over half of it.
Now, it's all in the farm.
You lose the farm.
The mother and father die.
There are five kids.
There's a $5 million farm.
And you can't say a million dollars for each kid because you've got to give more than half of it.
So that $5 million farm, which the family already paid taxes on, to build the $5 million farm, probably at about 40% a year.
They're now going to take 50% of it.
They're going to take everything away from you.
And what was the brilliant term?
That's what communists do.
What was the brilliant term that we came up with back in the day to call the tax?
It was the death tax.
Yeah, yeah.
Which is exactly what it is.
Yeah.
And that just...
Overall, people don't agree with the death tax.
Well, it's really extremely unfair.
And when you see the big numbers, please realize that very often these are like...
There are a lot of people that are millionaires that aren't.
Their house, which they bought for $400,000, is now worth $1.5 million.
Now, if you would have taxed that at 50%, and there are four kids that are going to inherit the house, they're going to end up at about $100,000 each.
And the government's going to get the rest of it, even though their mother and father paid taxes all their life.
That just isn't fair.
And that's what really...
Under Biden, tax policy tipped over into socialism.
And also, when you are pretty close to more people not paying taxes than paying taxes, you then have people working to support people who aren't working, which is the core injustice of communism and socialism that leads ultimately to violence because people get tired of it.
They say...
Oh, that's great, Marx.
Everybody gets paid the same, except I work 60 hours a week, and the guy next door runs around taking drugs all the time.
Why should my family have to support him and his drug habit?
Well, so the Democrats are in favor of immigration, right?
Including MS-13 murderers, trans-Diaragua rapists, And human traffickers, including that guy that went to El Salvador that beat the living daylights out of his girlfriend and was trafficking young people and got caught with it.
And his girlfriend, who now changes her mind, is on tape explaining how much he beat her up, right?
They want to bring him back so he can beat up a few more people.
However, they don't want to allow the South Africans to come into America who are being tortured in South Africa because they're white.
That's okay.
I mean, you can torture white people.
Yeah, it's...
I'm not touching this.
No, it's quite...
Well, don't touch it.
And that's what the media want.
They want us to be afraid to talk about these things, but it's so obvious.
It's so transparent what they're doing.
South African...
Look, there used to be a real equity with the South African government.
It's become a completely gangster government.
It's controlled by organized crime.
It's controlled by drug dealers.
A lot of fentanyl that goes to Mexico goes through South Africa.
It's tied very closely to China.
It's about as scandalous a government as you're going to find.
It's taking tremendous advantage of black people and white people, but it's particularly trying to take advantage of black people.
And it's a gangster government.
It is not a democracy any longer.
And that's just the truth.
And if you don't like it, well, then go live on Mars.
Right.
And it's such a...
And it's so obvious.
It's so obvious that they simply don't want these folks here because of their skin color.
And let's be honest, they have got, they have been able to perpetuate this race baiting for so long in this country.
I bet you a number of people, even watching this show, at least considered, oh, you know, at least considered maybe we shouldn't, maybe these people aren't deserving, right?
We're not going to fit on welfare.
They can farm for a living.
They're very industrious, hardworking farmers.
So we're not going to have to take tax money and give it to a rapist.
Right.
The point being, as you said, Mayor, this is strictly a race issue and it doesn't fit their narrative.
So they're going to oppose it and they're going to be vocal about it and they're going to use it to try and divide us further, right?
And claim that the Trump administration is only allowing white immigrants and meanwhile, he's kicking out all these others when this has nothing to do with How about legitimate refugees?
Exactly.
This is a legitimate case of political persecution, which is the basis for an individual to receive refugee status in the United States.
One of the most wanted men in the world is this man right here.
Is that guy white or black?
What would you say?
He's white.
Yes, of course.
If you catch him, you get $10 million.
Ooh, I'm on it.
Where'd you see him?
Where'd you get that picture, Mayor?
I got the picture from the Wall Street Journal.
So who is that man?
That man is Ivan Archivaldo Guzman.
Ah, okay.
The son of the founder of the Sinaloa cartel, El Chapo.
Chapo!
You know who that is?
He is now considerably more active than his father.
He is a mass murderer.
He sits on top of one of the biggest organized crime groups in the world, probably bigger than even the mafia was in its heyday.
And he is one of the people becoming a multi-billionaire based on the death of people from fentanyl, which can be a surprise death, meaning you think you're taking a prescription drug and it has fentanyl in it.
Now, you may be getting a prescription drug illegally, but you still think it's a prescription drug.
I mean, one of the things about prescription drugs, even illegally, was if they came out of a pharmacy, yes, they could feed your addiction, but at least they weren't tampered with.
Nowadays, they'll take the prescription drugs from the pharmacy and they'll boost it with fentanyl and make a mistake and you're dead.
I mean, people have died of fentanyl and marijuana, meaning...
Just sort of like weekend marijuana uses.
So where drug overdoses used to be basically confined to people who unfortunately had heavy, heavy, massive addictions like Hunter Biden, you know, degenerate drug dealers.
Now, just a casual drug dealer is just as likely to die if they slip, if they slip the wrong, without even knowing it, they can put the wrong amount of fentanyl in.
Apparently, during the negotiations with China, our Secretary of the Treasury took out some powder, and he showed the Chinese how little fentanyl you need to kill somebody.
And it isn't just amount.
If you're not a chemist, you're not going to know the purity of it.
So this amount of fentanyl should have some powder.
This amount of fentanyl can be okay because it's been cut tremendously.
That amount of fentanyl could kill you like that because it hasn't been.
And fentanyl is not even the worst anymore, but it's still the most prolific.
Now, we talked about this a little bit before, but do you think that President Xi has any bit of the opioid wars of, you know, the colonial period?
There's no doubt he's getting even.
He thinks he's getting even for the opioid war.
He's even said that.
Oh, I would...
This is part of his making war on us, as was COVID, which the Democrats, who are all paid off, a lot of them are paid off by him, like Biden.
Would never allow us to explain to you.
The COVID killings was a way of making war on us.
I mean, he ended up killing, what, almost a million of us.
That's more than he would kill in a war.
And then he ended up killing Western Europeans, about 5 million.
They all got killed because Chinese people were sent to their country and spread COVID.
And don't forget all the BS that the rest of us had to deal with.
Because he closed down China.
He closed down China and he encouraged them to travel, travel, travel, travel.
And then when people would put restrictions on travel, he would get all of his Chinese acolytes to attack them.
Like Nancy Pelosi.
Like Nancy Pelosi and Joe Biden and all of the media in America.
And about like upteen million agents that we don't even know about operating.
So.
I would say that's another good reason why.
I mean, I'm looking at this kid, Ivan Archivaldo Guzman, a $10 million bounty on his head.
He could be in the United States.
He could be in Mexico.
Although they thought they were very close to catching him in Mexico.
That would be a big one if we could do that one.
Also, how about this?
Just to give you an idea of how terrible our immigration system was.
Anthony Fabian Marine La Torre was caught at the border in Arizona on September 26, 2022, in the height of the Biden invasion, right?
That was the height of the Biden invasion.
He was released into the custody of ICE, and then he was released.
What we used to call catch and release.
It may have happened 13, 14 million times.
Nobody checked that he's wanted for multiple murders in Venezuela.
You can't figure it out with a kingpin?
And when Trump said that Maduro was sending his murderers here, how about Anthony Fabian Marine La Torre, who was allowed to...
Patrol the United States, looking for people to kill for two years.
Is this the Guzman?
Is this El Chapo's son?
This is Venezuelan now.
This is just a plain, good old multiple murderer.
Probably let out of prison by Maduro to come here and terrorize us.
Now, we figured it out on May 2nd.
And he is now in custody.
And you're going to be sent back to Venezuela.
Even though Maduro said, I'll never take anybody back.
That's until our president said to him, okay, and we're not going to buy...
We're going to take the sanctions on Venezuela.
We're going to double them.
And he said, oh, I'll send my own planes for them.
That was rich.
So this guy, I'm pretty sure...
Having done drug enforcement for 10 years, I can tell you exactly what happened.
I can just read between the lines.
What happened is somebody said, you remember La Torre that we sent there, the multiple murderer?
That guy kills somebody right now.
Trump will probably bomb us.
So let's go claim him, get him back.
And they probably know exactly where he is.
So they located him, and they're taking him back to Venezuela because he's so dangerous.
Everybody is playing watch out for Trump.
No kidding.
That's because he's a policeman.
Maybe not even Trump.
Maybe it's Holman.
Maybe they're worried about Holman.
You take a look at Holman and he scares you, right?
Right.
Tom is one of my good friends.
Yeah, we've had him on the show many times.
That's a wonderful attribute in the job that he's in.
Right.
He scared the hell out of the baby mayor of Denver.
Tom Holman comes here to take any of the illegals.
I'm going to stand at the gates of the city.
First question, Mayor, where are the gates of Denver?
Well, that was his out.
That was his out.
That's Rome, Jerko.
They haven't had gates to American cities.
Hey, jackass, half IQ jackass.
There are no gates.
So far, Holman's taken about 5,000 of those people, and nobody's seen you around, you little coward.
Can we set up a Fetterman fan club?
John Fetterman for whatever.
Well, we could have told the senator what was going to happen if we had known his deal.
But here's the thing, Mayor.
They're claiming he's mentally unfit.
He wasn't mentally unfit when he couldn't talk and he was running.
He's arguably more fit now, but now he's mentally unfit because...
He doesn't think multiple murderers should be kept here because they came in illegally.
And he likes Israel.
And he supports our number one ally in the world.
And I think another big sin is he wouldn't...
And he doesn't like the Hamas terrorists and killers.
And he wouldn't gratuitously attack Trump.
That's the other one.
Which is really a good idea because Trump can make it or break it for the state of Pennsylvania.
Bingo.
As any president can.
Bingo.
And I think Senator Fetterman also realized...
Even the governor of Pennsylvania, who's quite a partisan, knows that.
But I mean, this is ridiculous what they're doing to him.
Oh, but it's what they do.
Well, we're not surprised.
Come on.
He also made the mistake of saying, I'm not a progressive.
He's not a progressive, which is, I guess...
I'm interested to see the makeup of his staff moving forward, because a lot of them did jump ship.
And I want to see, maybe, what if he staffs up with a whole bunch of Republicans?
Yeah, I don't think that's...
I'd be shocked if that were the case.
This article in the Wall Street Journal...
I don't know James Kirchick, who is the author of Secret City, the Hidden History of Gay Washington.
What?
He says...
That Fetterman does have a debilitating illness.
Sudden onset political moderation.
Reasonable.
He's reasonable.
Well, you know, suddenly he's in office and to give him some credit, right, he's being what a true leader is supposed to do.
When he's representing the people of Pennsylvania, right?
I think that's what he's supposed to do.
And I bet you there's some crossover between the Fetterman voter and a Trump voter.
Oh, you think?
I think his emerging moderation is a sign of his mental health.
He's getting healthier and healthier.
He was bad at one point.
Doctors were telling us that.
We had doctors from their observations.
They were able to identify exactly what was going on.
It's not that we're knocking them for going through it or making fun of them for it.
But if you want to be a United States Senator, you know...
It's not about you.
It's not about you.
Exactly.
It's about the country.
Because that's what they would...
You know, they'd pull that sappy card.
You just don't want him running because you had a stroke, yada, yada, yada.
Like Stephen said, when it comes to public service, the mayor knows this more than anybody.
It's no longer about you.
They were supporting him when he couldn't actually debate.
Right.
Because they figured they had somebody they could just totally control.
They didn't care whether he could think, not think, talk, not talk.
Couldn't think.
The margins are so close that if one of them dies, they're probably going to stuff him and send him back like...
Feinstein.
God rest her soul.
With the ventriloquist.
My goodness, that's basically what they were doing with the poor senator from California at the end of her life.
What about Dianne Feinstein?
They were grabbing her hand.
What about Dianne Feinstein the last year?
The Chinese spy was taking her in every day.
Right.
Her 19-year Chinese spy companion.
That's just a nice young man.
I wonder how much information he got.
She was on the Intelligence Committee.
I knew Diane.
I liked her a lot.
I mean, she was the mayor of San Francisco.
She was a pretty shitty mayor.
And I can judge mayors, believe me.
Yeah, if somebody can.
But she was a nice lady, but she was a silly lady.
And there she did.
For 19 years, she was on the Intelligence Committee.
And she was a big talker.
I can imagine she gave that guy everything.
That's what you want on the intelligence team.
They spied on us.
They got everything by spying on us.
Right.
Well, I mean, my goodness.
Here he is driving.
I wonder before they had...
I wonder if he actually tape recorded it.
You know, just put on his little phone.
Okay, Diane, what happened to Skiff today?
Between her and Eric Swalwell.
Fang Fang.
Eric.
Fang Fang.
Well, we know what Eric was doing.
Oh, Eric, tell me more about the codes.
Eric, you're so handsome.
Yeah, what's the code now, Eric?
Oh, my goodness.
Exactly.
How do you put together that computer?
You wouldn't know, understand it.
Why don't you go get me the documents?
Yeah.
That would really help.
You know what would help right now?
Some documents.
I hope you're great.
So I thought we heard Trump on...
Is he going to stop off in Turkey?
It seems like it might be a possibility.
I'd be curious on the logistics of such a visit.
I wonder if it'll be determined by how things go.
Sure.
What do you think?
I think so.
And I'm getting, you know, the president, we're negotiating with so many folks right now.
I believe, what, we wrapped up a fourth round of negotiations?
And that, yes, so in Turkey, there's a chance that Zelensky and Putin end up meeting, is what we're being told.
Imagine if they make friends.
Well, I have so much to say on that.
It'll be interesting.
What do you think, Mayor?
What do you think the president's decision?
I don't think it's going to go well.
I mean, I can't imagine they're so diametrically opposed, right?
Putin took the land, right?
Don't want to give any back.
Zelensky, let's just talk politically now, right?
Zelensky is finished politically if he gives back, if he lets him keep a substantial portion of that land.
And not only that, it's almost immoral to let him keep a lot of that land.
I mean, he just came and took it from you.
And those people, I guarantee you, that after what he did in 2014, those people don't want him anymore.
I can tell you that because of Kharkiv, that when I first went to Ukraine, Kharkiv was solidly pro-Russian.
When you had elections in Ukraine, you normally had a Ukrainian pro-Russian candidate.
And a Ukrainian pro-Western candidate.
And they came out somewhere like Republicans and Democrats for a while.
48-48.
And then the election was decided based on a little margin or maybe on cheating.
Right?
The main point being the country was fairly evenly split.
Now, here's the thing, though, you have to understand.
Way back when they first separated from the Soviets and developed their own constitution, Part of which was written by two friends of mine, the McConnells.
They voted, including the pro-Russian Ukrainians, to be free of Russia.
I mean, the ones in Kharkiv and the ones in Donetsk and the ones in all the places that have been now taken.
Not sure that's true of Crimea.
But with the exception of Crimea, oh, even Crimea voted slightly in favor.
Of not being taken by the Russians.
Very close, though.
The rest of it was solidly, they like Russia.
They favor having an alliance with Russia over the West, but they don't want to be, they want to be their own country.
Now, we go to the Western part of Ukraine, solidly anti-Russian, to the point of hatred.
Even if they're ethnically half-Russian, like the mayor of Kiev is half-Russian, but 100% Ukrainian.
He was also the heavyweight champion of the world, so I wouldn't argue with him.
So it's a complex country, and you have to understand it.
And I spent a lot of time there.
And I don't have any illusions about Ukraine.
And I don't about the Ukrainian people.
It's a tragedy.
These are remarkably good people.
And for all of their poverty and the stealing it's done by their own government from them, they're well-educated people.
And whether they're originally the pro-Western or the pro-Russian ones.
But now they've become almost 80-90% pro-Western, anti-Russian, because of what Putin...
Putin has been barbaric.
They concentrate on what happened in Israel with Gaza, right?
That was all collateral damage.
The killing of the...
Civilians was collateral damage.
The last thing in the world the Israeli army wanted to do is kill civilians because they knew how it was being used against them, among other things.
Also, they're humane people like we are.
Because of their communist background, Putin doesn't give a damn how many people he kills.
He's been killing people since he was a kid.
The first thing I noted about Putin when I met him is he's a stone-cold killer.
First thing people ask me, well, what is he like?
I said, well, he's very charming, but he's a stone-cold killer.
You can see it in his eyes, and you can see it in his lack of affect in dealing with death.
Because the first time I met him, I took him on a tour of the site at 9-11.
And I took a lot of people on that tour, and I could tell who was affected by it and who wasn't.
This guy said the right words, but he could have cared less.
And then I met with him again after the Chechnya thing.
And once again, it was, how can I take advantage of this?
So, right now, I don't know how they resolve this.
I have my own resolution that I would propose to them.
Here's the way it goes.
Because you want to stop the killing, right?
So they're both going to have to give.
Zelensky can't get all the territory back.
He's going to have to cede some of it to Russia.
But he should get some of it back.
And I'd say half and half wouldn't be bad.
So he now controls, Putin does 20% of Ukraine.
Suppose he ends up controlling 10. And he gives 10% back.
And we have something to say about what 10% because of our interests.
And it should be even in Russia's interest to make sure we have a secure supply of rare earth minerals.
Now, two-thirds of the rare earth minerals are in Ukrainian-controlled territory right now.
So that's good.
But what's bad is one-third is in Russian-controlled territory.
I think Russia should give us half that.
They should give us half the territory and half the territory that has the minerals.
Keep Crimea.
Which is going to be very hard for the Ukrainians.
But Ukraine gets back then, back to 90% of what they were.
And I know this is not going to be very popular with my friends.
But after all, I did work for Ronald Reagan, who's my hero.
I think we should help guarantee the security of Ukraine.
With the Europeans.
And we should make some very strict demands on what they put in.
And if they do it, we should stand behind them.
Because if we do, Putin won't do a damn thing.
Putin would not have moved into the Ukraine if we said we were going to defend them.
Now, I know there are a lot of arguments against doing that and getting involved in a war.
But if you think Putin wants to take on NATO, you're out of your mind.
What could the problem he had with Ukraine?
Can you imagine if he was facing even the screwed-up NATO that we have?
So, Putin should be told, you're going to have 10%, you're going to have that, you're not going to have any more, and the rest of it is going to be secured by European troops and ultimately overseen by the United States so that if they need help, they can get it.
So, stop killing people, Putin.
And then President Trump consistently stresses that fact.
You know, all this killing, all this unnecessary dying.
The guy doing most of the killing is Putin.
Let's not bullshit, huh?
The guy doing most of the killing is Putin.
Of course.
Now, I think Zelensky's got to move on to one of his billion-dollar things that he got corruptly.
Because this country is entitled to have an honest leader.
And Zelensky is not that.
And then all the files of the Ukrainian government should be released.
And let's see how many American politicians go to jail for all the money they've stolen from that place, as well as their own.
We have participated with the Ukrainian oligarchs, who are mostly Democrats.
Take a look at the contributors to the Clinton Library.
Ukraine is the single biggest contributor to the Clinton Library.
It is the Ukraine Library.
Now, that doesn't make sense.
It's not that rich a country.
You're going to see a real parallel.
You're going to pick up a couple of Republicans there.
But it could be mostly Democrats.
It's been a cash cow since Obama invested with Franklin Templeton.
Just a little hint.
We're going to take a break.
When we come back, we're going to cover a bunch of subjects that should be covered.
And I may have you explain to people what's going on in the Diddy trial.
I was embarrassed yesterday when I was on my good friend Greg Kelly, and he wanted to talk to me about the Diddy trial.
And I said, ooh?
I mean, I didn't really say anything.
I deliberately pay no attention to it.
Full disclosure, they had asked me before.
I don't pay any debt on purpose.
And I told them that.
I mean, I pass it every day.
I read three or four newspapers, and I read things online, and I see Diddy, Diddy, Diddy.
P. Diddy.
P. Diddy, whatever the hell that means.
Can you name one song of his?
He did this horrible thing and that horrible thing, or they say they're framing him.
I have the foggiest idea.
All I know, he is a shitty singer.
He has destroyed American attention deficit.
And so have all of them.
Taylor Swift is a menace.
Young girls spend all their time over Taylor Swift instead of reading.
If you're driving a car with the mayor, 95% chance you turn on that radio, he turns it off.
Let's start you with a small little concerto about four or five minutes so you can start thinking with music, not zoning out.
Zoning out makes you effing useless.
The mayor will not listen to radio.
Real music elevates you.
Your powers of reasoning develop.
You know the connection between facility in math and facility in music is like one for one?
Instead, we feed these people what is desecrated crap for music.
So that's why I don't listen to Diddy Trump.
And it's one thing to do desecrated music, another thing to do what he's alleged to have done.
But did he do it?
Did he do it?
Did he do it?
I don't know.
Because of the terrible thing that's happened with prosecutors, and I trace that back to James Cardinal Comey when he prosecuted Martha Stewart.
Celebrity prosecutions.
They prosecute celebrities for stuff they wouldn't prosecute.
Like they say, nobody's above the law.
But in some ways, that operates the other way.
Famous people get prosecuted for things that other people wouldn't be prosecuted because the prosecutor becomes famous.
And boy, I was a prosecutor and I abhor that.
I hate that.
Well, and when you're that famous, you do naturally.
Have some enemies just by virtue of people, you know, deals that you've done, things like that.
Is Tenny Garagos, who is defending him, is that the relative of the Garagos?
I'm going to ask.
I just thought when you said Garagos.
That defended...
Casey Anthony?
Or Peterson?
No, no, no, no, no.
Mark Garagos.
Didn't he defend...
He had a few of those big cases.
Oh, was he on the OJ team?
Yeah, he was like...
I don't remember that.
Yeah, Garagos was on the OJ team.
Wow.
Wasn't he married?
I don't know if I remember.
Wasn't he married to one of the...
Yeah, he's got an interesting story.
Mark Garagos, he's got his own firm.
Notable clients include Renona Ryder, Michael Jackson, Roger Clinton.
Oh, not...
Cameron Brown, Victor Willis, Chris Brown, Colin Kaepernick, Jussie Smollett.
Oh my goodness.
Who was he married to?
He didn't represent OJ.
I don't believe so.
He was on that team, but you're right, they had all those all-star lawyers on that team.
Who was he married to?
That's what I'm looking for.
Mark Aragos, a lot of info on his legal career, not a lot of personal info.
By the way, he's still around.
Paulette Kasabian-Garagos.
Okay, so who was the one on the OJ team?
We're going to take a short break.
Kardashian.
Kardashian's husband.
Robert Kardashian.
Robert Kardashian.
Which is Kardashian, too, right?
We're going to take a short break, and we'll be right back.
Here we are, pretty much at the beginning of the process here at this pristine, I call it a laboratory.
It's not like a factory.
It's like a hospital.
This is the beginning of the process for roasting.
Deep grain, very good quality.
Most people don't use this quality.
We deal with small farmers because we like to know who we're dealing with.
They give us the highest quality, all organic, non-GMO.
You should know all Arabica beans.
No robusto.
All Arabica.
They're going to go into the roaster.
And it'll get roasted for about 20 minutes or so.
Oh my goodness, look at these!
My goodness!
Ha ha ha!
You're going to want to specially order these.
This is what goes into Rudy's coffee.
So since we're into soccer time and taking advantage of your patients, I'm going to look, I'm going to read up on the Diddy trial and instead of giving you like one of those stupid things that the reporters do who don't understand trials, I'm really going to read it and tell you what I think.
I do have to tell you there is a bit of a prejudice here.
The case is brought by my old office, the very best United States Attorney's Office of the country, U.S. Attorneys for the Southern District of New York, and they do not lose cases.
One little fact that you might want to include is that in evidence are 1,000 bottles of baby oil that were used in what were referred to as freak-offs.
Which were these crazy Hollywood...
Mayor, are you going to read this?
Because our audience is very far behind on this.
You don't go to jail for body oil.
Yeah, but it's part of the story of the different environments that he created at these parties.
Here's just the beginning.
Here's something more important than that.
On Monday.
Newark Liberty International Airport was manned by just one fully qualified person in the air traffic controller's office.
Now, when did our friends go back to Newark, Ted?
Our friends Caroline and Carolyn went back last night and I can report that they had a clear, I mean, their flight took off, they landed, I heard from them.
Doesn't seem like they had any issues getting into Newark from West Palm Beach.
The air traffic controller and a trainee were the only one signed up to operate every flight in and out of Newark Airport between 6.30 p.m. and 9.30 p.m., despite 15 staffers being the standard requirement.
I mean, this is ridiculous.
I mean, I don't know what to do, but this is an emergency.
Maybe the military, I mean, this was thought of.
I was involved in that with Ted Olson.
Maybe we should use some of the military air traffic controllers to substitute for a while.
I mean, there is a large number of military air traffic controllers, and I think there, well, we have had a recruitment problem, but I don't think it's affected the air traffic controllers.
And I did think that Doge and SpaceX were actually going to do some consulting with their traffic controllers.
Yeah, you can't have it.
One air traffic controller in the Newark, I mean, Newark.
Well, these are the lines that people were looking at.
You know, Newark is, let me just think about it.
I'm going to talk about just major airports now.
Right to its north is Teterboro, which is probably one of the most crowded private airports in the country.
Not too far away from that is LaGuardia Airport, which is probably one of the most crowded, purely domestic airports in the country.
Just a little further away is John F. Kennedy Airport, which is like the 4th or 5th.
Most crowded airport in the United States, which is next to Newark, which is like the 8th or 9th.
And in the middle of that is LaGuardia, which is one of the most crowded domestic airports.
Just a little bit further out, there's a smaller airport in Long Island called MacArthur Airport.
And any number of private airports on ritzy Long Island, the rich part of Long Island.
We go up to Westchester, there's Stewart Airport.
And again, private airports, dotting up and down.
Now, is it the most crowded airspace in the country?
Maybe.
It would challenge.
Given the fact that Washington is more constricted, it may be that Washington is a little worse.
Maybe.
I think it's worse than L.A., I think.
But I may be wrong.
There's a lot more space to go around at the other very crowded airports, Atlanta, Dallas, Houston.
A lot more space.
Much bigger runways.
LaGuardia, which is being remodeled now, still has a runway that's a joke.
Runways that are a joke.
Because nobody has the guts to take some of the water.
Oh, because maybe some fish will die.
I mean, you could expand that runway.
You make it gigantic if you took some of the bay.
Oh, man, what are you saying, the bay?
Take the bay.
We may kill fish.
Yeah, but we may kill people.
Oh, well, you know, people.
I left office and left behind a report to privatize the Port Authority and kick it the hell out of taking care of anything.
Because it's one crooked organization.
The Port Authority runs Newark, it runs Kennedy, and it runs LaGuardia.
It runs the bridges.
It ran the World Trade Center.
It built a crappy building in the World Trade Center.
And it does everything crappy because it's a cash cow for the two governors.
They can take money out of the airport that should be put there to modernize it and keep it safe and good and nice.
And they can put it on projects and get them reelected.
And they can do it without the interference of the New Jersey, Or the New York legislature.
It's been a sin, a monstrosity, a corrupt vehicle for years, and nobody has the guts to do anything about it.
And anybody that gets elected governor is corrupted by it.
They'll even run on, I'm going to reform it, and then when they get into office, they see all that money they can get for projects that they don't have to worry about the legislature, and they say, eh, I like that.
Well, I don't know.
Maybe they should find another way to steal money in order to do unworthy projects, but they shouldn't take it away from the airports.
Because, as Wilbur Ross demonstrated in the report he did for me, those airports can be unbelievably profitable.
They make a tremendous amount of money, and they're treated like they don't.
They charge him five bucks for a cart at the New Yorker.
I cannot remember.
I'd have to dig out Wilbur's report.
But if LaGuardia had been privatized for the 20 years leading up to when he did the report, nobody would have had to have paid billions and billions of dollars for modernizing it.
The airport would have paid for it.
And the taxpayers wouldn't have paid for it.
And that's one of the reasons why the budget of New York is $258 billion, and the budget of Florida is $120 billion, and Florida has 4 million more people.
Because it doesn't have anywhere near the corruption New York has.
And the Port Authority is right.
If you think New York is corrupt, people would say New Jersey is more corrupt.
Well, I don't know which is, but you combine it both so it's corruption squared.
When you put New Jersey and New York together, man, what are you going to do?
When the mafia used to put New Jersey and New York together, you got the Sopranos.
That's right.
Well, Mayor, we have a lot of folks asking, is it safe?
To fly into New York, New Work, Liberty Airport.
I wouldn't do it.
Let's hear from, this is United, put out this from a captain yesterday.
Hi, I'm Captain Miles Morgan.
I have been a United pilot for 30 years, and I am currently the managing director at our flight training center, which means I oversee all pilot training activities at United.
I routinely get questions from family and friends about what's happening in the industry.
Many of you may have similar questions, so I thought I would share some of the answers I'd give to them with all of you.
Lately, there's been a lot of curiosity about the increase in delays and cancellations at Newark Airport.
It is absolutely safe to fly.
Our pilots are highly trained professionals.
Here at our Flight Training Center, all 17,000 United pilots complete intensive simulator training with pilot instructors and evaluators when they first join United.
And every nine months thereafter to maintain their certification and keep their skills sharp.
We train for issues and have policies and procedures in place to manage through any loss of communication between our air traffic controllers and our pilots.
There are several layers of safety protocols in place, including additional facilities that will provide radar services and a safe handoff to the tower facility in the event of an equipment outage.
We have advanced safety technology that allows pilots to see other aircraft around us.
There are incredibly skilled teams at both United and the FAA looking after you and your flight.
Thank you for choosing to fly with us, and I look forward to seeing you on board soon.
I hope I don't see you on a flight to Newark.
Is he related to Chuck Schumer?
I haven't seen anybody lie as blatantly as that since the last press conference Chuck Schumer has.
Jesus, what a sellout you are, pilot.
You're telling me it's safe to fly into one of the busiest airports.
He uses words carefully.
He didn't.
And there's one air traffic controller.
There's supposed to be 15 and there's one.
Is that safe?
That means we don't need air traffic controllers, pilot.
What a sellout you are.
That reminds me of TWA and Flight 800.
Oh, gosh.
How I had to get them thrown out.
Why is that?
Explain why.
Because they were giving out these...
And TW800, of course, was a flight that crashed.
TW800 crashed outside of Kennedy Airport in Long Island.
When you were mayor.
I was the mayor at the time, and I was the only place within 200 or 300 miles that had divers.
So the Coast Guard had abandoned New York.
Bill Clinton was asleep or doing something in the White House.
Remember, he used to do...
All kinds of different kinds of things in the White House that unfortunately aren't done normally.
And so I had to send my police officers and firefighters.
So we took over the operation.
And we set up a family center right that night at Kennedy Airport.
And then we maintained it for two and a half months.
And I got to know all the families.
And my health and human services people took care of them.
And it was actually great training for September 11, and we never knew that.
But in the course of this, TWA finally came in after ignoring these people for three or four days.
Clinton came in after 10 days after ignoring them and did a brilliant job of snowing them.
And they gave out these forms to all of the families to help discover the bodies and identify the bodies.
So you would think, you know, they told them to bring in toothbrushes.
Clothes and underwear and things from which you could take DNA.
Well, that, of course, made sense.
But then they gave them a questionnaire, and several of the family members, including a very famous New York judge, a great judge, and lawyers came in and said, Mayor, this is outrageous.
Look at the questionnaire.
We don't even say anything.
We just want you to read the questionnaire.
So I read the questionnaire.
All of a sudden, right down at the bottom, it says, Is your relative suffering from any of the following diseases?
Cancer, tuberculosis, shortness of breath.
It's real close to home.
A lot of tears.
And I'm saying to myself, what does this have to do?
There could be somebody there who was suffering from cancer, but you're not going to discover the body based on that.
Now, it took me a second to figure out what they were doing.
Now, you take a second to figure out what they were doing.
They were trying to reduce the liability, the bastards.
They were trying to reduce the liability.
So you put down your father who was on that flight, was diagnosed with cancer, they're going to pay you a lot less because his potential lifespan is shorter.
That's the way it's calculated.
They were trying to let these people, like, deprive themselves of a decent amount of money for...
Whatever the damage done to them because of wrongful death, well, I kicked them out.
Kicked them out, made such a big deal out of it, the president of TWA was fired four weeks later and eventually went to bankruptcy.
That is inhumane, indecent.
That's what, oh, I hate to tie it back to the beginning of the show.
But that's what Pope Paul XIII was talking about when he was talking about out-of-control capitalism.
When you get monsters like that, capitalism is beautiful when exercised properly.
And as Pope Leo points out, there is no such thing as beautiful socialism or communism exercised properly, because it can't be.
And let me know one other thing about the new pope.
He pointed out...
That he is not against free enterprise if it helps people out of poverty.
Because he's an American.
Now, I want to show you something that's encouraging.
Western Europe has a lot of useless countries.
Useless allies because they don't pay their bills.
Useless because a lot of their armies, when they come to help us in NATO, don't fight.
So the president goes easy on them not letting you know that.
But when we put together NATO conglomerations of troops, one of the things that I was told often was how angry our troops were, that the guys from France would stay back and take care of the medical things while they went and got shot at and got killed.
Not so for Canada, not so for Australia, not so for England.
Definitely so for France and some of the other countries.
Plus, they don't pay their measly 2%.
Well, Trump straightened that out.
Now they want to make it 5%.
And some of their governments are horribly left-wing.
I mean, Fred Mertz, who used to be on I Love Lucy, who's now the chancellor of Germany, and a little baby, Macron, whose wife really runs France, who allegedly was taking cocaine from that little thing there, Fred Mertz right there with him.
The big tall guy was Fred Mertz, right?
And then there's the one from Spain who memorized his Das Kapital really, really well and goes over to China to kiss you-know-what's backside.
Do you think that was cocaine, though?
What?
No, I don't think it was cocaine.
You don't think so?
No.
No.
I don't either, Stephen.
Actually, if they took it, it might help.
That's what I mean.
They're working hard, so it's like I wouldn't...
They're working hard.
Macron hasn't worked a day.
Oh, my God.
Macron, they're doing stuff.
They're doing a lot of stuff, I guess.
30 hours a week, and then they want overtime.
Two-month vacations.
And Germany...
You're a German background.
I mean, you could always be proud of how industrious.
I was going to say, they're known to be industrious.
They're not one of the laziest countries in Europe.
Oh, come on.
Absolutely.
One of the least productive countries in Europe.
Boom.
And Fred Mertz wins because of the 22% vote for IDF, and he throws them out of the government because they're neo-Nazis.
Meanwhile, he's got 800 people under indictment or in prison for saying critical things online.
Yeah.
They arrest him for saying critical things online.
That's a democracy?
Not even critical, if you hurt someone's feelings.
Who's imitating the Nazis?
Him.
How about England, where they put a guy in jail because they found anti-Semitic literature in his house, therefore he hates Jews?
That's a thought crime.
A thought crime is a sure indication that you're a communist or Nazi government, an authoritarian, vicious dictator.
That's England, our ally England, with Stormer Pormer who came and kissed a ring the other day.
But I want you to take a look at that map.
You know what that map demonstrates?
In each one of the countries, some of which have gone totally right, some of which have gone totally right, there are major, major right-wing groups like Germany.
You see Germany there in the lighter blue, whereas Italy is in the darker blue.
Italy has a conservative government.
Austria has a conservative government.
Hungary has a conservative government.
And Poland has a conservative government.
Okay?
That's a pretty solid little lineup there, right?
Germany has a conservative majority.
The conservatives won the election.
But Fred Mertz has...
Put a government together with the socialist communists and thrown out the IDF because he says they're neo-Nazis.
Based on nothing, really, other than the same thing as they go after us, the Republican Party, for being neo-Nazis.
France has an underlying conservative majority yet to be elected.
The UK is, you know, left-wing.
But if you noticed, the last local elections, our friend Nigel Farage won all of them.
And they are hard right.
So, and now that doesn't...
Lithuania is, that's why it's surrounded.
Lithuania, Bulgaria, Belgium, and Netherlands also have conservative governments.
Latvia, Estonia, Finland, Sweden, and Norway don't, but...
Latvia and Estonia effectively could because they're in an alliance against Russia.
Finland and Sweden have just joined NATO and have been threatened with nuclear attack by Medvedev on behalf of Putin.
So I could imagine what they are.
So this is what's happening.
Trumpism is spreading.
That's almost half of Europe.
And that's supposed to be left-wing.
So, let's see what happens in the next elections.
Last piece of news I'm going to repeat from the other night, that Alberta does, by a slight plurality, favor statehood with the United States, independent of Canada.
Go take that.
Kearney.
Best thing for Canada.
USA!
USA!
And I would like Alberta, just Alberta, because they'd be Republicans.
We took that whole big thing, they'd be Democrats.
We don't need two Democratic senators.
My God, there'd be two more thieves in Washington.
We can't afford that.
We cannot afford that.
So, we'll be back tomorrow.
We'll see what happens with the President's trip to...
To the Middle East, it's going to be really interesting to see what happens in the Emirates and in Qatar.
Not a lot of love between those two places.
There's still bitterness over the almost war they had two years ago.
And we've got to see if he's going to take off for Turkey to see if he can settle Ukraine.
But good day, very big day for the United States and Saudi.
Anytime we collect...
$650 billion, it's a good day, right?
Right.
And solidify our relationship with one of the richest countries in the world that with us can totally dominate the oil market and crush Russia if we want to, which may be necessary.
So I'm going to thank you very much for joining us.
I'm going to ask you tomorrow if you're so inclined, maybe you want to get up and go to Massford.
The feast day of Our Lady of Fatima, who warned us about the dangers of communism, which I hope this Pope, an American, remembers, because the last one didn't.
And I'm going to ask you also to pray for those wonderful people who are being misused so badly in Ukraine, and people of Israel, and the people of Iran, who deserve to be free.
Which we'll talk about tomorrow, because we have some news about that, too.
That it's not quite together yet.
So tomorrow we'll be on at 7 o 'clock on Lindell TV at X, and then we'll be here for America's Mayor Live.
Again, for the 670th time, right?
Tomorrow will be 668.
668.
We're getting there.
Okay.
God bless America.
God bless America.
God bless America.
Thank you.
Tell me about Ariel.
Tell me about yourself, Ariel.
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.
