	Thank you for joining us for America's Mayor Live.
	And as you can see, I'm not the mayor.
	Ted Goodman here just for a couple of minutes, filling in for America's Mayor Rudy Giuliani as he wraps up a very, very important phone call.
	Maybe we'll try to bug him and see who he was talking to and what he was talking about.
	What do you think?
	So we're going to start off tonight by discussing President Trump's recent comments on Russian President Vladimir Putin and his growing, what we could characterize as disdain.
	He's very upset with how Vladimir Putin's been handling things in recent weeks, going as far as to say that, frankly, the Russian president is giving him a bunch of bullshit.
	This comes as Russia continues to strike into Ukraine and the United States is continuing to send new armaments to Ukraine.
	Secretary of State Marco Rubio today, maybe we'll play some of his comments.
	He took issue with how the media had been portraying the recent arms shipment discussions in the United States, saying that some of the holdup was due to additional checks of different weaponry and equipment and that they were always going to make their way to Ukraine.
	But of course, the president in recent days has made his discourse and he's made it very clear.
	And so we'll hear it from the president himself if we can here in just a minute.
	And his comments, he's been very direct, and he's made it very clear that he's not happy with Vladimir Putin.
	And you hear it from the mayor all the time, right?
	You hear from him on just how you have to deal with somebody like Putin, right?
	He's a stone cold killer.
	He grew up in the KGB, right, in Eastern Europe, and he has a certain mindset.
	And there's, you know, that's not a mindset you're going to change, especially as he grows older in age.
	So we're following this closely, see Zelensky's reaction and see how the world is reacting as the armaments will continue to Ukraine.
	So this was on Tuesday.
	The president had said that he is not happy with Vladimir Putin over the ongoing war in Ukraine.
	He accused Putin of throwing bullshit at the United States in response to efforts to end the conflict.
	This is the president, quote, he's killing a lot of people, his soldiers and their soldiers mostly, and it's now up to 7,000 a week, Trump had said, referring to Putin and the numbers of Russians dying.
	The president continued, I am not happy with Putin.
	I'm very unhappy with them.
	Again, this comes, you know, those comments were made when there was what some had characterized as a delay in armaments and shipments to Ukraine from the Pentagon.
	Marco Rubio, the State Department, they had actually, he took issue with that characterization, saying that what some were calling holdups were just regular checks on the equipment.
	So that's...
	We're going to try to pull them up if we can.
	Bear with us here.
	We're going to share the screen.
	For you want to know the truth.
	I don't know.
	We get a lot of bullshit thrown at us by Putin for You Want to Know the Truth.
	He's very nice all the time, but it turns out to be meaningless.
	Do you want to sanction him?
	I'm looking at it.
	Yeah, no, I'm looking at it.
	The Senate is passing and passed a very tough sanctions bill.
	Yeah, I'm looking at it.
	Can you sign up?
	I don't know.
	We get a lot of bullshit thrown at us by Putin for you want to know the truth.
	He's very nice all the time, but it turns out to be meaningless.
	Do you want to say sign then?
	What was necessary to end this war would be a conversation between President Trump and President Putin.
	But there have now been multiple phone calls between the two of them, and yet the war in Ukraine goes on.
	Does this speak to any weakness in terms of the president's ability to negotiate an end to this conflict, or why does it persist despite them having spoken?
	Well, this is a war that the president inherited, right?
	He got elected and it had already been going on, and no progress had been made up to that point towards peace of any kind.
	In fact, there had not even been any meetings between the Ukrainians and the Russians for quite some time.
	So while there's been some humanitarian exchanges made, obviously that's our goal here is to end this war and any role we can play.
	So this is not a war that started under President Trump.
	It's a war that wouldn't have happened had he been president, but now it's here.
	And we'll continue to engage and do everything we can and hopefully make progress.
	As I said, and I've said repeatedly, look, if we see an opportunity to make a difference in this, we're going to take it and we're going to pursue it.
	So that was Secretary of State Marco Rubio at the end of the ASEAN conference that he was at earlier today.
	And so, again, you'll have the mayor here in just a few minutes.
	So we're going to go ahead and give you a quick rundown on what the mayor will be discussing.
	So stick around.
	Of course, we're going to lead off with more talks on Russia and, of course, what's happening there.
	Russia is actually aiding Iran in their nuclear weapons program.
	So the mayor will have some words on that.
	And of course, Selensky and the future of Ukraine.
	There's ongoing domestic political disputes within Ukraine that we have to take into account as this war drags on.
	And as the president said, upwards of 1,000 Russian soldiers alone are dying a day, dying or being injured.
	The numbers are just staggering.
	And of course, the folks that are dying, you know, all across the board, right?
	Civilians, military personnel on both sides, as well as a large number of, I guess, paid mercenaries, what you could call it, on both sides.
	So we'll dive deeper into that.
	And then, of course, Israel.
	Israel is currently engaged in multiple campaigns.
	In southern Lebanon, they've now initiated a new ground offensive, taking on Hezbollah, an organization that they've really taken a number of shots at right in the last number of years and caused a lot of damage to their leadership.
	But not just Hezbollah, of course.
	They continue to strike the Houthis.
	The Houthis appear to have broken their truce agreement by firing missiles at commercial shipping vessels.
	And so Israel is engaged in a military operation against the Houthis, and they did quite a bit of damage within just, I believe, under 48 hours.
	So we're following that with Israel.
	And of course, Bibi Netanyahu was just in the United States.
	He met with the president where he shared with him that letter nominating him for the Nobel Peace Prize.
	That is something much deserving.
	It's something the president has actually come to deserve, I would say, since 2016.
	Really, I'd argue 2015.
	He earned that thing when he ran his first campaign in 2015, and he dared to talk about a number of issues that at the time, and it may seem really, you know, you think back to that time, there's a number of issues now that we talk about on a regular basis that were just not even discussed, whether it was trade, immigration, a number of these things.
	You wouldn't, most folks weren't willing to talk about it.
	And the president made it acceptable and he brought these issues to light.
	Do you remember a time?
	I mean, when I was in high school, I graduated about 15 years ago, high school, not that long ago, but we were taught that NAFTA and these trade deals, that was the default, right?
	So the fact that all these good paying jobs had left states like Michigan, places where I grew up, that was just inevitable.
	It was part of globalization.
	And that was the way things were.
	When in reality, there was a different way.
	And President Trump made it acceptable to talk about this.
	So stay with us.
	You're the mayor.
	We've got a number of topics tonight.
	Of course, we're going to start with Russia, Israel, a lot of foreign policy issues.
	And of course, we're going to talk a lot about New York City's mayoral race and that candidate, Mom Donnie.
	The mayor has some more on that.
	So without further ado, we have somebody here.
	Who do we have here?
	I recognize that voice, Mayor Rudy Giuliani.
	Well, thank you very much, Ted.
	And thank you for that very clear pronunciation of the communist name because I never get it right.
	Oh.
	Mom Dammy?
	Mom Donnie.
	Mom Donny.
	That's it.
	Mom Donnie.
	And he comes from where?
	Brooklyn?
	Uganda?
	Oh.
	Or Southeast Asia?
	It's either Africa or Asia.
	We've narrowed it down to those two.
	I guess it depends on what you're looking at.
	He can cheat people out of money.
	Yeah.
	Well, it depends.
	Are you asking his college records?
	If he could take away a scholarship from a worthy black kid who actually went through discrimination and the affirmative action was intended for him, if he could take it away from him and let the guy not go to college, he would do that, right?
	Because that's how he described himself as a black.
	And of course, unless he put blackface on, he's just not a black.
	Nor is he really an African American under the intent of that statute.
	That statute was intended not for every African American, not for every African that at some point comes to America.
	It was intended for the people who were the descendants of the people who were made to suffer tremendous losses and indignities through slavery.
	Well, this guy is 150 years removed from slavery, and he wants to screw the people that were affected by slavery.
	So let's begin with that as a let's begin a moral analysis of him with that.
	So I guess if he were from Brooklyn, what would we call him, Ted?
	I think we call Mondami a scumbag.
	That's what we call him.
	Who did that?
	Somebody who did that would be a scumbag.
	Yeah.
	Oh, I mean, that'd be the nicest thing you'd say to him.
	Maybe the problem is he didn't grow up in Brooklyn.
	He developed no moral code.
	Right.
	He doesn't.
	It's just so.
	He doesn't have respect for American values.
	He's a Muslim.
	He's a Muslim.
	He follows Muhammad.
	And he does not have respect.
	That's a good indication that he's in favor of killing or taking money from Jews unless they become Muslims.
	And not only that.
	And didn't Muhammad say that?
	Didn't Muhammad write that in the Quran?
	You should convert the Jews, and if they don't convert, kill them.
	And then after he realized he could make a little money on it, he made a little change, and he said, oh, or they could pay you.
	That's the religion he belongs to.
	And also, he seems very, very enthusiastic about whatever damage he can do to Jews.
	I mean, like you see kind of a, I don't know if you've ever dealt with anti-Semitism much and I have, you can see this guy's an over-the-top one.
	I mean, there are people who are anti-Semitic and everybody in the neighborhood is, so they are.
	I grew up in Brooklyn and in Long Island in a Jewish, Irish, Italian neighborhood.
	And I got to tell you, there were a lot of kids that were anti-Semitic, and they didn't know why.
	Their family may have said some bad things about Jewish people.
	The Irish kids, the family said bad things about Italian kids.
	Of course, Italians never said bad things about anybody.
	But I mean, the reality is it's a surface thing.
	And I've always believed that living in New York overcomes it in many ways if you have a brain, because you deal with a lot of people.
	It's almost impossible, unless you're in a very, very unusual business to just deal with your own kind.
	So you deal with a lot of people, and then one or two things happens to you.
	You become an introverted nut because you're afraid of everybody, or you start to realize they're not any different than your people.
	Among your people, whoever the hell they are, you got really people you like and people you're okay with and people, my goodness, you wonder, how did God ever make these people?
	Well, then you find out, well, so do the blacks and so do the Irish and so do the Italians, so do the Jews and so do the.
	And I think that happens to you in New York.
	You don't even know it's happening to you.
	And that's why on 9-11, when we were very early on in the middle, and imagine in the middle of all the things we were thinking about, Bernie and I and several others, Tom von Essen,
	the fire commissioner, Richie Shearer, we kind of sat back and said, there could be a real reaction against the, we may have said Arab or Muslim communities, I'm not sure, in New York.
	And not that there are many, but there are some very prominent ones, particularly in Brooklyn along Eastern Parkway.
	And I suggested, or Bernie suggested, maybe we should put together a very, we have a hate crimes division that you know about, a very special task force that would focus just on that and every day bring us statistic.
	At that point, we had become slaves of statistics in the right way, because nobody else used statistics before the way we did.
	We used statistics to bring down crime.
	We used statistics to get cops to think about reducing crime, not just arresting people.
	So we said, let's keep track of this.
	So if anything's starting to grow, we can get into it right away.
	And we had a lot of maybe even more than the FBI.
	We had a lot of people that could go undercover in the Muslim community.
	We started to develop that after we got bombed in 1993 and had been quite successful in avoiding bombings, which is why September 11 was unusual.
	Not to us.
	I'll tell you what was unusual about it.
	Using airplanes hitting buildings, the idea that Al-Qaeda or bin Laden would attack us, we were warned easily five times before that.
	So the thing about this that was tremendous, after two weeks, there were no incidents.
	There were stupid things, a name-calling, a little pushing around, no killing, no shooting, no bad beating.
	Bernie and I ended up being very proud of our New Yorkers for not being anti-Arab, anti-Muslim.
	We thought, my goodness, you know, just enough whack people.
	And it almost was obvious they were going to do something.
	They didn't.
	And I'm going to tell you one other thing.
	I thought we passed anti-Semitism a long time ago.
	See how smart I am.
	And we are right in the middle of it now.
	I've never seen it this bad.
	Now, I don't know.
	I mean, I don't go back to what the heck happened in the South or Jews need not apply during that period of time.
	So it may have been worse then.
	I tend to think it, I don't know.
	It seems like it's more violent now.
	But what does it matter if it's worse or better?
	This is for the century we live in and for the progress we've made on human rights and civil rights.
	This is a tremendous turn in the wrong direction.
	And even more disturbing, a tremendous lack of accountability for it by somewhere close to half of our leadership population.
	In the Democrat Party, that usually was the party of the Jewish people, right?
	It's almost as if it doesn't exist.
	Their people have vicious, horrible, hateful anti-Semites who are acting out every day.
	And their party leadership doesn't say a damn thing about them.
	Now, what we're getting for the first time, and this could be why Mondami either takes him to the new level or he becomes a time bomb.
	For the first time, I am seeing a reluctance to support him.
	Never saw it with AOC.
	Never saw it with Elon Omar and Presley.
	And these people were off the wall.
	You saw a silence about them, but never a straight-on attempt to condemn them the way Republicans were forced to do with several Republicans who, in some cases, were anti-Semitic or anti-Black.
	We've thrown people out of the party for that.
	What if they ever done that?
	They get away with it.
	And that's why it was very upsetting to me because that's the way, you know, that's the way Nazism grew by the people who just said nothing.
	And here we have people saying nothing.
	The people who are supposed to speak up don't speak up.
	All of a sudden, this has changed.
	And it's changed to such an extent that I want to alert you to something that, again, I feel our role is to alert you to things that the others missed.
	Here's one they missed today, or for two days.
	The people who are supporting him, who have to be tremendously more politically sophisticated than he is.
	He makes a lot of political mistakes, although he's a very good young politician.
	He has the skills of a politician.
	He doesn't have the brain of a politician yet, but he's got the skills of a politician.
	But he's got some brains behind him because today they started talking about primarying the Democrats that are reluctant to support him.
	Now, only Debbie Wasserman Schultz, as far as I know, has actually come out against him.
	Credit to her.
	I thought I'd never say that, but credit to her.
	And, but you see the speaker.
	The speaker conducted yesterday one of the most pathetic news conferences I ever saw.
	It is one of the great examples of political or any kind of cowardice ever.
	He just couldn't say anything.
	Do you support him?
	Don't you support him?
	Well, he's in the next.
	He's not.
	He's not in my district.
	So now what?
	He only has opinions on Democrats that are in his district, in which case you couldn't support anybody in the House.
	But you know what district he's in?
	The next one.
	He's not in my district.
	How would I know?
	He's not in my district.
	He's in the district next to me.
	He's in the district next to me.
	Well, he never said anything to condemn what happened on October 7.
	And that's probably one of the most barbaric terrorist attacks on Jewish people.
	Certainly the worst since the Holocaust.
	Don't you think in deference to their fears and he should have said something other than kind of agree with it?
	Well, I've never had a chance to talk to him about it.
	Mr. Speaker, do you read the newspapers?
	What?
	Newspapers?
	So that's the kind of reaction you've been getting.
	And that's about as good as you get.
	Schumer, Schumer is hiding under his, I'm not going to mention his wife.
	Sorry.
	I apologize.
	I apologize.
	She's a wonderful woman.
	I apologize.
	Everybody makes mistakes in getting married.
	I'm sorry.
	I'm not going to do this.
	It's too cheap a shot.
	He's hiding under his mother's old skirt.
	Because he won't even go through the questions that are being asked of other people.
	Because he's already, he's already a legendary.
	It will go down to the annals of the Jewish people, which are very, very long, that one of the great traders was Senator Schumer of New York.
	When it was time to speak up, he not only didn't speak up, he went and hid.
	What's his position on the squad is?
	What do you think of the squad, Senator?
	Senator, you've always supported the state of Israel.
	They're in favor of the BDS, which would destroy the state of Israel.
	Completely destroy it.
	End it.
	No more Jewish home in Israel.
	What do you have to say about that?
	There's something wrong with your tongue, Senator?
	Senator?
	No, no.
	There's something wrong with his conscience.
	It's called lack of courage.
	Even minimal.
	He's a disgrace.
	If there was a way to excommunicate him, I don't think Jewish people have that.
	This would be a great excommunication for turning your back on your people at a time which in the history of the Jewish race could be one of its more challenging times.
	I don't want to equate it to the Old Testament.
	But this is when men stand up and women and they distinguish themselves.
	You don't do it in good times.
	When things are easy, you stand up when things are hard.
	Where does he go when things are hard?
	Who the hell knows?
	But so he can't make up his mind.
	Hocopocal is.
	Hocopocal hasn't been informed yet.
	It takes a while for her to digest things because she's working.
	See, if you.
	She's working with brains that work every other day.
	So you have to come to her on a day when her brains are working.
	So she hasn't taken a position yet.
	So here's what they're doing.
	They're doing what Reverend Bonhoeffer so eloquently wrote about, about how the Nazis succeeded.
	The Nazis succeeded by everybody in Germany saying nothing.
	Even the people in Germany who liked the Jewish people, of which there were many.
	Germany was the least anti-Semitic of the, certainly of the Eastern European countries, possibly of the Western European countries.
	It was always thought that if there were going to be something, anything, nobody ever thought to be something like this.
	But if there were going to be some kind of a massive, like, strike on the Jewish people, it would either be Poland in the Eastern part of Europe or France, you know, in the Western part of Europe.
	But not Germany.
	The working relationships have become too good.
	Well, they sure as hell aren't that good with the Democrat Party right now.
	I do hope that Congresswoman Schultz, who I disagreed with on everything probably.
	Do we have, Ted, do we have Debbie's picture?
	Do we have the video?
	I heard the video last night, so I know it's available.
	And it is quite, it is quite good.
	And it would be very good for the Democrats.
	the cowardly jewish politicians to see it um uh and and i don't know i know there are many things we have against debbie wasman shulz but i'm about to elevate her to star star status for having a pair of things that women aren't supposed to have right and and it can't and she doesn't live in she she this doesn't happen.
	I don't think she's going to change this.
	She doesn't live in isolation.
	She's a very, very, I mean, I've debated with her.
	She's a very aware woman.
	So maybe, maybe it was this.
	Let's read this.
	To not be willing to condemn the term globalize the intifada.
	It just demonstrates his callous disregard for anti-Semitism, terrorist activity.
	Anyone that care, anyone that I care about couldn't possibly distance themselves from him more, meaning Mandani.
	It's really a terribly disturbing and potentially dangerous.
	A Republican couldn't have said that better.
	Wasn't she the chairman of the Democratic National Council?
	She was.
	She was a big shot in the Democrat Party.
	I remember that back in the day.
	And then she got into trouble for something.
	She was in bed with Hillary and Bernie got mad or something.
	I don't know if Hillary got mad, but she was.
	Well, Bernie got mad.
	Well, she, well, I think, yeah, I think she went with Hillary.
	She was accused of fixing the nomination for Hillary against Bernie.
	Yeah.
	She was part of the Hillary Hillary club.
	Well, she did to the she did to Bernie what the Republican Party tried to do.
	Can I have my gavel, please?
	I'm not allowing anything bad said about my new saint.
	Okay, who, who, who, who's that?
	Who's that?
	Debbie Washington Shaw.
	Moment of silence, but I got a lot in the chamber for her.
	Let's not, we're not forgetting.
	Save it in case she changes.
	All right.
	All right.
	But right now, you know, we're in a battle here.
	We got to take what we get.
	Right.
	Well, New York City, we're trying to save New York City.
	And what a refreshing thing to see.
	This is what we're condemning.
	We're condemning Schumer and all these other people who are Jewish, and we're condemning the speaker as a Democrat.
	And I know there's another Jewish Congress member who came out against him, but not as well known and in the Midwest.
	So it isn't as if no one has, but it's so few, it seems like no one.
	Well, let's see if you got a comment.
	We have one of our new, well, we don't know where we stand on this guy, but we want to hear his comments here to Fox earlier today.
	I'm not a voter in New York City, and so I have no dog in that fight.
	And everything that I've read on him, I don't really agree with virtually any of it politically.
	So that's just where I'm at as a Democrat.
	I mean, so he's not even a Democrat, honestly.
	You want to take that on?
	He's not even a...
	Like, he began with, I didn't know much about it.
	Then I don't agree with him on anything.
	And then he's not really a Democrat.
	A good reporter, or they should have kept.
	He was working himself up.
	That's the way a politician works himself up.
	Right.
	I mean, but it isn't even Fedeman.
	Fetterman is the one you would expect.
	In fact, if he didn't, you'd be shocked.
	The profile that he's created for himself is sort of like the honest independent.
	The senator who knows his constituents.
	Yeah.
	He knows who he represents.
	Yeah, and he has a fairly consistent political philosophy that he stays honest to.
	He seems to be a domestic Democrat, almost more of a Republican in foreign policy, and a Republican on basic core common values.
	Like, you know, it's better to put criminals in jail than put them on the street.
	Oh, my goodness, yes.
	Where he might divide, and I think this is where he had a problem with the Big Beautiful Bill, is on social welfare programs and cutting them and cutting them too steeply.
	And that might be an area where he's sensitive.
	Well, people aren't going to recognize this next guy, but he is the DNC chair.
	His name is Ken Martin.
	This is how he is handling the mom Doni situation.
	Taylor, about him not outright condemning the phrase globalize the intifada in a recent interview.
	Some of your Jewish colleagues have said that that could be very disturbing, potentially dangerous.
	Do you agree with that?
	You know, there's no candidate in this party that I agree 100% of the time with, to be honest with you.
	There's things that I don't agree with, Mamdani, that he said.
	But at the end of the day, I always believe as a Democratic Party chair in Minnesota for the last 14 years and now the chair of the DNC that you win through addition.
	You win by bringing people into your coalition.
	We have conservative Democrats, we have centrist Democrats, we have labor progressives.
	This new brand of Democratic Democrats.
	And we win by bringing people into that coalition.
	And at the end of the day, for me, that's the type of party we're going to lead.
	We are a big tent party.
	Yes, it leads to dissent and debates and there's differences of terrorists.
	But we should celebrate that as a party and recognize at the end of the day, we're going to put the question again.
	Just to show, we're a party of what was that whole group he had there?
	Can we go back to that little group that we had there?
	That he was describing the constituents of the Democrat Party and then the new one.
	And he didn't give it a description.
	I want to help him a little.
	What about for me?
	That's the type of party we're going to lead.
	We are a big tent party.
	Yes, it leads to dissent and debates, and there's differences of opinions on a whole host of progressives like me.
	And we have this new brand of Democrat, which is the leftists.
	And we win by bringing people into that coalition.
	And at the end of the new brand of Democrat, which are the leftists.
	Well, I guess they're figuring they're going to make big gains by bringing the Jew haters into their party.
	Right?
	That's who Mandami appeals to.
	And then if they're not Jew haters, they're America haters.
	They like Hamas.
	they don't like american marines who get killed by iran i mean they're um i don't i don't get i don't I don't feel as uncomfortable about judging institutions.
	They're not people.
	I don't see the conscience of the Democrat.
	I don't see that for a long time.
	It seems to me that the Democrat Party has not had a conscience.
	And how does a party have a conscience?
	So when David Duke yells and screams, all the things, this is a while back, all the things he was yelling and screaming.
	I don't remember how quickly the Republican Party reacted.
	I was the mayor when it first started.
	Of course, I reacted immediately.
	Oh, well, you would say I was in a black city, et cetera.
	I was at that time considered a moderate Republican.
	I didn't react as a Republican.
	If David Duke was a Democrat, an Independent, and said those horrible things, I'd have gone effing nuts on him.
	But I did feel it a little extra that he was a Republican.
	But it wasn't too far after me that the entire party condemned him.
	And there were a few people that were attacked for not condemning him.
	But the whole party condemned him.
	We ran a candidate against him.
	We didn't endorse him.
	We ran a candidate.
	We drove the Democratic Party is sitting by and at best, you know, biting their nails and not knowing what to do.
	And enough of them are making him a legitimate candidate so that he is.
	You take David Duke.
	The Republican Party drove him into the ground.
	You don't know about him anymore.
	And he never spread anywhere.
	And he never went anywhere.
	And we ran candidates against him.
	Who the hell are they running against him?
	They're running him.
	That's a big difference, ladies and gentlemen.
	It means that the Republican Party by no means is perfect.
	Boy, do I have objections with it?
	And things I think they do wrong and areas where I think they compromise.
	But I think when push comes to shove, it has a conscience.
	You can appeal to it.
	You can say, oh, I feel like if I went in front of a group of professional Republicans in the House of the Senate and I said, this is just plain wrong.
	And I had a really good case, I could get most of them.
	Well, this is just wrong.
	What this guy is saying is just wrong.
	It's wrong about a group of people that have been the subject of this kind of unbelievable hatred for two millennia, maybe three.
	It's wrong because of the way it demonizes police as racist and cruel.
	It's wrong in the way it sets expectations that based on just a cursory study of the last 150 years of history would tell you are opportunistic gambits in order to take away people's liberty, like state-controlled retail stores.
	You can go one after the other.
	And I cannot believe that more than at least 70% of the Democratic candidates know this guy shouldn't be running for office.
	And actually think about it.
	What's it going to cost them?
	What's it going to cost them if they come out against him?
	Well, let's figure that out.
	Let's see if we can figure that out.
	Ted, why?
	Why?
	Maybe there'll be, I may be proven wrong.
	A whole group of them may come out against him, but I bet it's not anything but a handful.
	But right now, if you were a Democrat, would you have any reluctance saying, I'm not supporting that guy?
	Because they're not true leaders, right?
	They don't have a backbone.
	So they're afraid they look at this guy like, oh, he won a race.
	So he must have some supporters.
	We don't want to upset.
	They really aren't true leaders.
	A true leader who's confident in their beliefs and understands and grounded in strong American based values and principles would stand up to this guy, right?
	No matter how it impacts them politically.
	Or is it showing their true colors?
	And maybe their values aren't American values necessarily.
	Well, that's exactly right.
	There we go.
	That's exactly right.
	I think Stephen has located a percentage of Democrats.
	The real question is, there's no question there's a percentage of the Democratic Party that is aggressively anti-American, aggressively anti-Jewish, anti-Semitic, and a lot of other antis, mostly having to do with Western civilization.
	There is no question about it.
	They were taught that way in Ivory League schools to be that.
	But I'm talking about.
	Those are still the.
	So they're going to be with him.
	Those are still the.
	And maybe, maybe they're more than I think.
	Yeah, but then they're the ones that are.
	I still don't think so.
	They're the ones that are power hungry.
	So they just need, they need to, you know, they won't do anything.
	They're not of the party.
	It's not.
	They think he's going to win.
	Well, yeah, and he has a strong chance of winning.
	So they want to be on a winning side.
	Yeah.
	They don't fear that he's going to take the party that way.
	They don't understand.
	Don't they think that this is how it starts?
	I mean, they're not confident in the group.
	They have the group inside that house, right?
	Now they're going to start having mayors, pretty soon governors.
	That's how a political movement grows.
	This is a political movement.
	It has every aspect of fascism, Nazism, and communism.
	Every.
	It has every starting with the getting control of your children, driving out God, except this insane version he has of a God that wants you to go kill.
	Look, the news that should give some people a little bit of comfort.
	I mean, we have a lot of work to do.
	Don't be comfortable the next 130 days here before the campaign's over.
	However, remember, just about 4% of the city's eligible registered voters chose this guy, right?
	And that's what elected this.
	That's what made this man now the favorite and the frontrunner for mayor of America's largest city.
	Just about 4% of the city's registered voters, right?
	So I think it's important to keep that in mind.
	I haven't found anything yet that gives me a sense that they're going to defeat him.
	Do I think he could be defeated?
	Yes.
	Do I see anything done yet that suggests that there's the ability to build a movement that is more powerful than the generic movement that he can develop from the years that have been put into this wacky left-wing, anti-American, pro-Palestinian.
	Look at all that's been expended on turning us to being not only anti-Jewish and anti-Israel, but being, we're pro-Palestinian.
	The Palestinians want to kill you.
	I don't know if we're going to pick somebody to be pro.
	I would prefer it's not a group that trains their kids at two years old to come and kill my kids.
	Now, why would the, there's got to be that Democrats of my age or a little younger, but in my, they know that.
	That's easily, that comes from UN books.
	The books supplied for the grammar schools and early education schools contain language about America, the evil things America has done.
	And do you know who paid for it?
	You did with that USDA money.
	Elon, that's one of the things Elon picked up.
	Except we've known that for four or five years.
	Trump cut them out first time he was in office.
	Of course, what does Biden do?
	Biden puts them back in so that the Palestinians can get books that teach people to hate his country.
	Now, can you figure that out?
	And when I say Biden, I mean the generic Biden.
	Whoever the cabal was, which we're entitled to know and probably will know in the fullness of history, but I'm not sure we do now.
	There were several Rasputins behind him.
	They're the ones who decided this, and they were distinctly pro-Marxist.
	So Trump cut them out.
	Not only that reason, one reason, but basically the whole UNESCO was a creature of Hamas.
	I don't know what percentage of their workers were Hamas.
	It was huge, as President Trump used to say.
	And if they weren't Hamas, they were Palestinian.
	And it may be the reason why none of the money ever got to the Palestinians.
	So, I...
	So I try to figure out how do you put this party back together again?
	Or how does a new party take over and develop?
	Because you could always kind of think, maybe not count on, but kind of count on that if an American political party got too off the mark, at least in my experience, it got a real beating and then it fixed itself.
	That happened to the Republicans with Watergate.
	It happened to the Democrats with Reagan and Bush.
	And Clinton brought it to the middle for a short while.
	And I'm sure if we go back in American history, I can come up with a lot of examples of that.
	Parties, it's even just a natural tendency if a party's in power for too long, it gets to be too dictatorial.
	And then we throw them out, they go fix, the other party comes in, and then they get thrown out.
	But they're not fixing themselves.
	They're not, there are some pretty obvious reasons they were rejected last time, and they're going with those reasons and making them work.
	They were thrown out because of illegal immigration.
	Now they're joining the illegal immigrants and acting illegally.
	I mean, I don't see where they're going other Than trying to hope they can move off some large segment of America to their radical, left-wing, communist-inspired form of government.
	Now, President Trump relies a great deal on peace through strength.
	And I thought there was an excellent article by Isaac Shore today about how he's gotten there.
	And of course, a lot of it is the dramatic strike on Iran, where with the help of the Israelis cleaning up the bushes and doing the dirty work, we pulled off one of the most brilliant military attacks ever.
	The complete result of it is in question.
	Did we get rid of all the uranium possible?
	The basic effect of it is pretty clear.
	We completely destroyed their nuclear capacity.
	And the question is, even with their enriched uranium, they have nothing to process it with, which we are not sure they have or they don't have, but they can't enrich it anymore.
	And it's a question as to how long it will take them to rebuild.
	The ridiculous shorter estimates of a few weeks have been clearly rejected.
	And now what I see as the shortest is two years, five years and seven years.
	Even if you say two years, that's also $2 trillion.
	They don't have $2 trillion.
	If we were to really enforce the sanctions, they'd have nothing.
	And the first time around, Trump took the sanctions and squeezed their necks with it.
	And before we even put a new sanction on, Iraq was in depression.
	And when we put the sanctions on, people are on the streets selling their organs for money.
	I used to show you the pictures of it.
	We were getting there.
	since we've decided to go pc pc with them we've eased up on the sanctions I just think this is a very bad candidate for the usual tactics of negotiation.
	Maybe Russia is a good candidate.
	Maybe China, maybe.
	We'll see.
	But not Iran.
	And we don't really have to debate this because they've been extremely impossible to negotiate with.
	And there's a reason for it.
	We're not negotiating with businessmen.
	We're not negotiating with people who have a practical objective, practical or somewhat inflated.
	The Chinese objective is a Chinese empire.
	That's practical in a way.
	It's inflated in another way, but it's they're not the first group of human beings that wanted an empire, nor are the Russians.
	What they want, they'd be the first human beings to accomplish.
	They want a religious dictatorship over the entire world.
	They want you all to believe in Muhammad and Allah or disappear or go into secondary situation of life and support them in their worship of their God.
	That is, in short, the calling of Muhammad and its redefinition by the Shiites and in particular the Islamic group, the Shiite Islamic group that is made up of the Ayatollah and the Mullahs.
	It's a very aggressive form of Islam.
	It's not an illegitimate form of Islam.
	There's nowhere that anything says that it's an illegitimate form of Islam.
	There are pronouncements of religious groups that declare certain things illegitimate.
	There's no pronouncement of any Muslim group that says that to kill Jews to convert them is abominable.
	And anybody who does it should be thrown out as a Muslim.
	I've never read that.
	When these things happen, we don't see large numbers of good Muslims standing up against them.
	Instead, we see not a large number, but a disturbingly significant number of Muslims celebrating with them.
	So how do we deal with that?
	We deal with that by being tougher and more principled than they are.
	Maybe, maybe, with the proper application of some discipline, you can go this piece for that piece with Putin.
	But you can't do that with the Ayatollah.
	What the Ayatollah wants is your soul.
	He wants to take it from you.
	He doesn't want your money.
	Oh, you take that.
	But he wants your soul.
	So I am beyond impatient to get to the end of these negotiations because if they work, we lose.
	They're not giving up their religion, guys.
	That's what we're asking them to do.
	They're not giving up their religion.
	So this article by Isaac, who says Trump has Done a lot to put us in a situation for peace is quite true, but it has a major obstacle in it, which is the Muslim religion, which he doesn't seem to be able to deal with.
	And I don't know if it just didn't come up in the article or he blinds himself to it.
	Many people blind themselves to it.
	And many people think of the religion as fairly insignificant.
	It's just another religion.
	They exaggerate it.
	This is not just another religion for them.
	This is their life.
	This is what their leader told them 1,500 years ago.
	And this is what they believe.
	And it's a lot of them.
	And they are encouraged to be warriors.
	So there was a threat out of Iran, which says that they're going to use a drone to assassinate him at Mar-a-Lago when he's sunbathing.
	And the president had a great response for it.
	He said, well, they'll never get me.
	I don't sunbathe.
	So that was very good.
	And it does show that the president can handle these things.
	But Mr. President, just don't let that fool you.
	They do want the Iranians that you are reluctant to take them out completely, meaning taking out the Ayatollah or the upper leadership so we can get rid of them.
	They want to kill you.
	You're being rather disciplined in killing them.
	And they want to kill you.
	And the only way we're going to stop that is by getting rid of this regime.
	I official that says you, President Trump, have done something that he can no longer sunbathe in Mar-a-Lago as you lie there with your stomach to the sun, a A small drone might hit you in the navel.
	It's very simple.
	Do you think that's a real threat?
	And when is the last time you went sunbathing anyway?
	I've been a long time.
	It's been a long time.
	I don't know.
	Maybe I was around seven or so.
	I'm not too big into it.
	Yeah, I guess it's a threat.
	I'm not sure it's a threat, actually, but perhaps it is.
	There is an Iranian.
	You seem to think about that for a moment.
	Yeah, yeah.
	I mean, I think he handled that right.
	And I think what his facial expression, they're telling you there are a lot more serious ones than that.
	And I don't even have to know.
	I can just tell you from my experience in the Reagan administration and even then as U.S. attorney during the Clinton and part of the Bush administration, there's never a pile of presidential threats of which some look very serious on their face and some don't.
	But you worry that maybe the ones that don't are the, I mean, you don't know which one is eventually going to turn out, which is why they always face the rule.
	They always had the rule that everybody got interviewed.
	You didn't get to write a threat on the president.
	We just, ah, that's crazy.
	And I do not understand what a bunch on President Trump that were never interviewed.
	I don't understand what happened to the Secret Service.
	I mean, who were they protecting?
	I mean, there were a couple before January 6th that they never followed up on.
	Before January 6th, where they threatened to take the president out on Twitter or on Facebook.
	Nobody visited these people.
	Six members of the Secret Service have been suspended for their failures relating to Butler, Pennsylvania, which led to almost the murder of President Trump by Thomas Matthew Crooks, and of course the death of firefighter Corey Comperatore.
	But yet, I haven't a single piece of information about that.
	Nor the one that has to go to trial, which occurred about a month and a half later in Palm Beach, or yeah, in Palm Beach, and then he was caught in Martin County, which offered a lot of promise of information because the guy traveled around the world.
	There has to be a history on him.
	Now, they are doing what you should do.
	With that guy, they're doing what you should do about a trial.
	They're keeping it very secret.
	But when have they ever done that before?
	I mean, you're supposed to do it that way.
	But my God, when Trump was tried, the whole case was tried four times in the press before it was tried.
	We can't find out a single thing about this guy.
	I haven't heard anything relevant about this guy or the one who tried to shoot him through the bushes, who had been traveling to a bunch of foreign countries and got caught.
	It's as if their cases are being conducted in heaven.
	There's no leaks from their investigation.
	There's no information being given.
	The press isn't pushing very hard.
	Now, is it the way ideally it should be?
	Yes, with a caveat.
	Yes, possibly not in a presidential assassination case.
	The public may be entitled to more information as we go along in a presidential assassination case.
	In a normal criminal case, the public is entitled to no information.
	And that's very rigid and it's never followed.
	I mean, the cases, the woman that got prosecuted here in New England, I guess, was she acquitted, you know, for allegedly killing her husband, Riley.
	Riley, was it?
	Karen Reed.
	Karen Reed.
	It was very famous, very, It was on television every day.
	Everybody knew more facts than the jury.
	And they knew it before the first trial, during the first trial.
	Three documentaries in between the two trials.
	And at the time of the trial, the public knew more than the lawyers.
	Right.
	Okay, that's too much.
	What do we know about Thomas Crooks?
	Nothing.
	Unless they're trying to really preserve the integrity of the investigation because such grave sort of perhaps a conspiracy that really demands that level of seriousness and secrecy.
	And you don't even want to risk anything in the media.
	Yeah, but so did the investigation of President Trump for the purpose of impeaching him.
	And we knew every single fact about it because it was leaked.
	So you can believe that, and it could be true.
	Or it could be that they're investigating it.
	Which do you think is the case?
	You think they're really investigating this in a very, very intense way, and we're not hearing anything about it?
	If we have really good people on it, and we're trying to get to the bottom of it, see, I'm not that privy to who's involved, really, exactly.
	It all started with the Biden administration.
	They started the investigation.
	They probably burned everything to start.
	Did we throw them out?
	Did we bring better motivated people?
	Well, unlike, well, unlike my, you know, this, this, this whole Comey and Brennan investigation that's being announced publicly.
	And, you know, there is something to be said about, well, I guess members of Congress have complained that they're not getting the proper updates.
	So people that should be getting regular updates have complained that they're not.
	So yes, Mayor, I think we do have a right to question things here.
	But if they've made significant findings and progress and they're keeping it quiet because they actually want to do a two investigation, that's fine.
	But it's been a year now and there are people they should be updating in Congress.
	Have they said that?
	Yes, I know members of Congress in the past and I'll say that.
	No, no, no.
	There's nothing at all improper about saying we're making a lot of progress on this investigation.
	Of course they have.
	We can't speak about it.
	Right.
	They have not said that to my knowledge.
	Leaking to Congress is like leaking through a firehouse too.
	Not leaking to Congress, but I think certain members that are...
	How about that?
	Sure, but somebody, I think we have to have right as accountability at some point in a year in.
	I guess, so where do you fall on this?
	I don't think they're investigating it.
	I do not think that they could have changed the method of investigating so that they can conduct a very active, aggressive investigation, and it's not going to be leaked.
	I mean, the FBI was leaking long before Biden.
	The FBI leaked in Republican administrations, Democratic administrations.
	They don't want anybody not to know the glory of their work.
	So they love to have great relations with the press.
	It's impossible that both of these investigations are making serious progress and none of it is getting to the press.
	So why are they not investigating?
	I don't know.
	What would be the idea?
	I don't know why they're not investigating.
	I don't know.
	And if they are investigating and making progress, I don't know why they're not telling us they're investigating and making progress.
	They don't have to tell us the progress they're making.
	To assure the American people, this is a very active and fruitful investigation.
	And everything that I've seen makes it sound like it's an active but useless investigation, getting nowhere.
	That they're finding nothing.
	But then ultimately, there are going to be questions like, why did he travel here?
	And why did he travel there?
	And what relationships?
	And what did he say when he was there?
	This is going to get to the point where it'll be too late for even a warrant commissioner to screw it up.
	Why should we start learning about Lee Oswald and his things?
	Like that wasn't, that didn't come out right away, right?
	Sure did.
	His trips to a lot about Lee Javi Oswald came out right away.
	So maybe we'll be sitting there telling grandchildren, hey, I remember when that was going on.
	We finally know about it.
	It's unacceptable.
	And where's Congress on this?
	Where is the demands from Congress?
	This is where oversight would help.
	The longer it takes to investigate, the more imperfect and inaccurate it is.
	The longer it takes to investigate, the more likelihood there is that it's a fixed investigation.
	An honest investigation is an enthusiastic one that begins on day one and is 24 hours a day until you solve it.
	That's what you do about a big case.
	Right.
	And in the Washington and the America that exists today, you can't investigate a case of this magnitude and not hit a tripwire that gets it into the press.
	And what we know until November of last year, the crooked Biden administration, even if they were to be investigating it, which none of us believe, they would have political motivations not to enthusiastically do it, right?
	So tomorrow, if you want to listen to us, is the day before the anniversary of the attempt to kill President Trump at Butler, Pennsylvania.
	And we're going to raise the questions that should have been answered by now and have it.
	And the idea that these people in the Secret Service were just suspended.
	I mean, I watched that and I'll watch it again with you tomorrow night if you want.
	These people should never do this work again.
	I'll look at it again in a calmer way than I did the first four or five times.
	But when I looked at it, it seemed to me I couldn't find one single thing they did right.
	Now, I know presidential Security.
	It seemed to me that every time a critical point was reached, they did exactly the thing they were told not to do.
	I'll give you an example: the famous one we saw a bit of before.
	When they bring his body up, you're not supposed to see his face.
	They're trained to do that.
	Now, why is that?
	And particularly since they weren't sure when they killed this guy.
	I mean, this guy got off six or seven shots before the expert marksman killed him.
	Now, that could be just happenstance, or it could be, I don't know what it could be.
	I don't know if the guy was shot by the time they brought him up, or how did they know there was one guy?
	When they brought him up, they may have shot one guy.
	He didn't have a partner.
	You just assume that?
	So when you see him come up, I did it right at the, I cursed at the moment they did it.
	First, I was happy he was alive.
	And within a second, I said, what the F are you doing?
	Here I see his big face right on television so that a halfway decent marksman could have blown his brains out.
	And they held it there for a while so he could have gotten a good shot.
	Finally, the guy who's now become the head of the Secret Service, I guess this is what qualified him for it, put his taller body in front of him because he had two midget women in front of him.
	One of whom didn't know how to get a gun out.
	One of whom, if you look at the tape really quickly, is going like this.
	I mean, that's Keystone cops.
	If she was suspended and not bye-bye, where are they going to put her?
	Answer phones.
	How about?
	How about we put her on phones, answering tips?
	But you do something other than that.
	Ted, can we play?
	We're going to do it tomorrow night.
	So let's leave it for tomorrow night.
	Okay.
	Because we can then organize it just right.
	But the first clue to me that there was something wrong with this was the way they brought him up.
	Because I was unbelievably happy that he came up.
	And I was unbelievably shocked that he was put there like a target of Coney Island.
	I didn't know at that time whether a shooter had been shot, but that wouldn't have satisfied me either.
	There could have been five people there to shoot him.
	There could have been, and we don't know it.
	We don't know.
	They didn't know about that guy.
	And he just about announced, he walked in with a sign saying, I'm here to kill the president.
	I'm here to kill the president.
	I'm here to kill the president.
	Let me get on.
	Please tell me where the highest point is for me to get a good shot on him.
	Can I borrow the thing to clean your gun, officer?
	Yeah, officer, would you please suggest to me how I can get the best and highest leverage on killing the president?
	Yes, it'll be on top of that building, but be careful.
	It's a thatched roof.
	There's a slant.
	We're not even going up there.
	Yeah, but it's a thatched roof, so we don't go up there.
	That was the original explanation given by the crooked head of the Secret Service.
	Why weren't there any Secret Service agents on the roof?
	We don't go on thatched roofs.
	What?
	A third of the roofs in America are thatched.
	I've seen Clint Eastwood go on a thatched roof.
	Why don't you go on thatched roofs?
	I think he went on a thatched roof when he was playing a Secret Service agent.
	But I guess he's a fiction, huh?
	Yeah, attention criminals, thatched roofs are now a free space.
	I mean, we let the Secret Service give us the biggest bunch of human bullshit ever fed to anybody over Butler County.
	It absolutely, I tell you, and do you know who agreed with me?
	Dan Bongino at the Republican Convention.
	Remember when I interviewed him?
	I remember that.
	And I said, Dan, you were a Secret Service.
	Dan worked for me as a cop.
	I said, Dan, you were a Secret Service agent.
	I would like you, I don't want to go through Butler.
	What I want to know about is, I know Butler, I've studied it.
	I want you to tell me one thing they did right.
	They didn't even get him in the car right.
	What the hell are they walking into the car for?
	Why don't they drive the car to him?
	Wouldn't you have thought of that?
	Remember, how fast did they get Reagan into the car?
	Now, albeit he was shot right next to the car, right?
	And the car here is over there.
	But there's no reason you can't break down those barriers in two seconds and bring the car right next to him.
	And his body never gets exposed.
	They exposed him immediately after the shooting.
	They brought him up and they put his face there.
	And one could have made that a movie of we're intending to kill him and we're showing you his face in case you missed him.
	It looked that way.
	Then they finally covered his body.
	And then when he gets to the car, they let him give a speech on the board of the car, standing there again, like a big dumb target.
	Instead of pushing him in the car, Reagan says he was pushed in the car so hard, he thought that was his real wound.
	It looked like when they grabbed Reagan, it looked like a football player.
	I saw Trump taken down once in Reno, Nevada, when there was threat of a gun, when there was a gun, but they got it.
	They hit him so hard, I thought they broke the side of his body.
	I mean, I've been up close in professional football games.
	These guys got him off so fast, we don't even know why he was taken off the stage.
	Of course, they left us there to get killed.
	And as they took him off, they surrounded him in a way that nobody could have shot him.
	Here, you can look at that a thousand times and you could say to yourself, they're either stupid or they did it on purpose.
	And I'm sorry, I do not think you get a second chance as a Secret Service agent.
	There are a lot of jobs these people could have.
	But guarding the President of the United States, after he has just been shot at, after you just hear six bullets, pulling them up and having them on national television as the prime face in front of all the people where there could be lots of killers, just seems to me to be, you have told us you're not capable of being a Secret Service agent.
	I do not know what happened.
	I'm not giving you any kind of conspiracy theory or...
	From all that I've seen and felt about them, they don't know what happened.
	And here's the worst part.
	It doesn't feel like they're trying to find out.
	Thank you.
	That is very disappointing and very concerning.
	And it's not going to stop.
	We're going to have to continue on that.
	But suspending six agents, I'm sorry, doesn't close the case.
	It just doesn't close the case.
	And I know the president, and over time, the president for a while was taking this very seriously.
	But when he tells us his answer to the Iranian threat of shooting him, you know, while he's sunbathing, he doesn't sunbathe, I guess that's cute, but this is real.
	Also, the reluctance to completely do away with the reign of terror befuddles me because they want to kill him.
	There's absolutely no doubt about it.
	Do I have on my list of suspects, Iran, for the two attempted assassinations?
	I have to be a fool not to.
	I would fail you out of detective school if you didn't.
	Remember?
	How do you investigate a murder?
	Make a list of the chief suspects.
	Biggest motive.
	The husband just took out a $2 million policy on the wife.
	But we're not going to investigate the husband.
	Who in the Trump situation is the husband who took out the $2 million policy on the wife?
	They're a couple, aren't there?
	whose lives would be inalterably changed, put at risk if you were elected.
	None?
	Would you like to think about it and we could talk about it tomorrow night?
	Then in precinct number, I don't know what precinct should we call it.
	Precinct number eight.
	That's my favorite number for Yogi Berra.
	Precinct number eight, we have a big, big whiteboard, much bigger than the one we have.
	And then we put down suspect one picture.
	We leave a lot of room for all the little facts we're going to get on suspect.
	Suspect two, three, four, five, six.
	Make sure not somebody, not the suspect.
	And then we start filling in facts under the column.
	And then every once in a while, we go back and we look at them.
	Sometimes we cross them and suggest, well, maybe we should look for this.
	Maybe we should look for that.
	You know, this guy, one of these guys went to Ukraine.
	The answer is he didn't meet anybody there.
	That's pretty hard to go to Ukraine and not meet anybody.
	What did he do?
	Just walk through and not talk?
	Of course he met people.
	They're trying to say he met no one of significance.
	How do you know he met no one of significance until you go find out who he met?
	Or here's the biggest giveaway of all, which is why I begin this whole thing with complete, complete disgust.
	That day, that very day, within two or three hours, or maybe it was the next day, when the Secret Service and the FBI were being very, very arrogant about the fact that, well, we just began this investigation.
	We can't tell you.
	We just began this investigation.
	We can't tell you that.
	We just began this investigation.
	We can't tell you that.
	One of them said, was more than another person involved?
	No.
	Absolutely not.
	We've ruled that out.
	We just began this investigation.
	We can't tell you that.
	Isn't that the answer?
	So why that quick answer that there was nobody else involved?
	unless that was wishful thinking They haven't provided enough for me to give you an answer to that other than to raise the question.
	But it would be irresponsible of me not to raise the question because I would be, you know, not giving you the benefit of my years of experience investigating crimes.
	If some guy investigating a big crime for me tells me we don't have enough information for X, Y, and Z, and then I say to him, well, what about a conspiracy?
	Definitely not a conspiracy.
	I said, well, if you don't have any facts about the goddamn case, then how do you know it's not a conspiracy?
	You jackass.
	What does somebody pay you for no conspiracy?
	Well, you're just a halfwit.
	And then I'd say to my chief assistant, get me a guy with a brain to investigate this case.
	Out, out.
	That's how I solve cases, not with submorons investigating, lazy people, or people who are bought.
	Those are the three ways you can Fail to make a case.
	This case should be made.
	The evidence is there.
	You don't do something like this without leaving evidence.
	These guys were not geniuses, and geniuses make a mistake when they commit a crime.
	The only crimes that can't be solved are the crimes that have been investigated for 50,000 hours, and you've run out of everything.
	You think this crime has been investigated for 50,000 hours?
	Would you like to make a bet on that?
	Well, do you think the president should have said that Trump, that Trump should have said that Brennan and Comey are crooks?
	Or did he prejudice the case by doing that?
	Well, I'm going to ask you as one of America's foremost lawyers.
	I can't answer.
	I'm disbarred.
	So.
	Okay, I'll say I don't think he was breaking any ground with that one.
	Sure.
	I'm going to give you the non-legal answer.
	You got the right answer.
	Okay, right.
	I guess that's the only answer, right?
	I shouldn't have paused there.
	Damn right, he should say it.
	He's the president of the United States.
	And the one thing we need from the president is integrity.
	I got all the answers for that.
	Like Obama announced at the beginning of the Hillary investigation she was innocent.
	Would you like to give your FBI a hint of what you want?
	Well, she didn't do that.
	She'd never do that.
	Well, I mean, actually, it turned out she did.
	I mean, I have a feeling Cash and Dan may have said a few things about these guys in their private life.
	But look, it's a president not supposed to speak the truth.
	And the fact that, I mean, a court, a judge must take into account the fact that the media is so crookedly biased against him on this.
	I mean, the guy, you know, the 50, is it the 51 or the 53 spies who lied?
	And of course, you were involved in that.
	You have a right to defend yourself, especially when they're coming out with such a massive, massive lie.
	Brennan was basically the spokesperson for this group.
	Right.
	And we have it up on the screen here.
	And you know what he testified to under oath?
	He never pushed it.
	Of course, there's about 100 pieces of evidence that he did.
	So they want to know, well, what would the perjury case be against Brennan?
	But then they can't figure it out.
	They can't remember that he testified that he never did anything to push it.
	And they have tape.
	They have videotape showing him.
	There's got to be like a PowerPoint deck with like the sales pitch almost because they were so like on message about it the whole time.
	It looked like a coordinated campaign, like, you know, designed by DC quote unquote professionals, I suppose, but, you know, deep state operatives.
	Pretty organized, I'd say.
	Funded, certainly.
	So do you think that the people, do you think the people in Washington who are unable to really just tell the truth are weaklings who shouldn't be allowed in public office?
	Absolutely.
	I'm going to give you an example.
	I'm going to give you an example of something.
	And it's an example, and I don't know that it's true.
	And my view of this guy is not hard and fast.
	But I was told by two very reliable sources who had lunch with the Secretary of Let me get this right now.
	The Secretary of State.
	Marco Rubio.
	No, no, no.
	Blinken, stinking blinken?
	I'm trying to remember.
	A CIA, when he was head of the CIA, who replaced Pompeo, right?
	So they had lunch with Pompeo a day or so that he was in office.
	And I'm not going to tell you who these people are.
	I may, if we want to go further with this.
	I think they would.
	I have no reason to believe they wouldn't go forward with it.
	And Pompeo took them into a private room.
	And in the private room, he said, you see that?
	It was a rug.
	Now, I had spent a lot of time in Qatar and Dubai and Bahrain.
	I would have known what it was.
	They didn't.
	He said, it's a prayer rug.
	And he says, everybody around here says he prayed here like two, three, four times a day.
	Now, Brennan was suspected, and you shouldn't be suspected of being a Muslim, but okay, he was.
	He was suspected of being a Muslim at a time when I guess there'd be a right to be a little nervous about it since it was 19 Muslims that came here to kill us.
	In the name of what were they yelling, Allah Akbar, who's their God?
	They came to kill us in the name of their God.
	So would you like to be euphemistic about it?
	It was just another mass murder, except it was a mass murder invoking the name of their God.
	Okay, so we've got him with his little thing there.
	And when he's asked if he's a Muslim, he doesn't answer.
	Now, he was born a Roman Catholic.
	There is a lot of rumor that he's a Muslim.
	And then there's supposedly information all over the CIA that he used to pray every day.
	Now, am I being, and I'm not making a charge, I'm raising this all like I would when I was a U.S. Attorney defeat.
	I should have gone to a grand jury or not.
	I don't know the truth.
	Is that worth looking at?
	Is that somehow holding his religion against him?
	Or do you make distinctions between religions where the religion is built around forgiving the people who kill you, following Ten commandments, or it's built around killing your enemies so you can spread your religion?
	Do you say all religions must be treated the same?
	Even a religion that has a great devotion to murder?
	No, absolutely not.
	Because if we're looking at the main religion, I mean, obviously, the barbaric ones have gone by the wayside so far because we do not treat them all with the same preferences.
	And our weakness, our silliness, our ability to be brainwashed and bamboozled, the weakness of our mind and conscience has made it impossible for us to really analyze the Muslim religion and therefore protect ourselves against it or protect them against it.
	We don't analyze it correctly because when the president first did the travel ban, the argument was he was going to stop people from Muslim countries.
	No, he wasn't.
	He's going to stop people from countries that had an excessive number of terrorists.
	It turned out that nine of the 12 countries were Muslim countries.
	Is that an accident?
	Is that an accident?
	Or is that a direct result of what for 1500 years they've been taught?
	Is it an accident that on Ramadan, we're all warned about all the murders that are going to take place?
	It's the holy day.
	It has nothing to do with killing.
	It would be as if on Easter, we said everybody had to hide because the Christians were going to come out and kill you.
	Or on the high holy days, every Jew was going to leave the synagogue and go kill somebody.
	I mean, we had a little of that, I will say, with pogroms in Poland on Good Fridays, when they would announce the part of the gospel that said that your blood be on you and your children about the Jewish people called the blood libel.
	And particularly in Poland, Polish people go out and beat the hell out of the Jewish people in the ghettos.
	They were called pogroms.
	Now, here's the difference.
	That was they or their criminal type interpreters completely misinterpreting what Jesus, their leader, was saying, who said for both the Jews and the Romans, they know not what they do.
	He forgave them.
	Who are you to go kill him if he forgave them and to go kill the ones that have nothing to do with it?
	What kind of ridiculous thing makes you think that a thousand years later, people that have a relationship with people that were there are responsible for it, given the complexity of human genetics and the passage of time.
	But they keep saying, well, the Christian religion also has provoked violence.
	No, it hasn't.
	People who are Christian have provoked violence, clearly misinterpreting it.
	The people who do violence in the Muslim religion correctly interpret it.
	It's a correct, yes, Muhammad did tell them it was okay, desirable, a good idea, and the best way to spread the religion was to kill people who were non-believers with special emphasis on Jews and Christians.
	So is there any connection between that and nine out of the 12 countries with the most terrorists are predominantly Muslim countries?
	And should that be taken into consideration?
	And should the world get together and basically say, straighten out that damn religion?
	You're producing too many murderers.
	Just statistically, it doesn't work, Val.
	I think this is fair.
	Okay.
	That's politically incorrect, right?
	Was that politically incorrect enough for you?
	Yeah, right.
	At least, I mean, 10 years ago, we've been thrown off the air and arrested.
	So tomorrow night, we're going to spend a little time on taking a look at Butley County.
	Maybe we'll take a little peek at Palm Beach, too, because to me, they come together, you know, and it's really amazing that neither one of them seems to be having any kind of activity.
	And I'm not even going to dignify the idea that they're doing it, but it's really quiet with any kind of statement, because I think that is so impossible in Washington.
	You see, what happens is if you do a really good investigation, you can keep your mouth shut.
	But you go interview people.
	And of necessity, you probably interview some of the wrong people.
	They have lawyers.
	They get pissed off.
	They leak it.
	So you go interview somebody and you have like evidence that they were somewhere that might make them knowledgeable about the crime or even involved in the crime and you insult them.
	And they don't take it nicely.
	When you say, oh, gee, it's a mistake.
	Some of them take it nicely, some of them don't.
	But it's impossible to do a very, very broad, important investigation without some of it leaking.
	Somebody's going to leak it to the press just to get credit from the press.
	Oh, they call me about the county investigation.
	Remember, I have a Chevy dealership.
	You got to put my name in.
	Okay.
	The press is omnipresent.
	The desire for human advancement and greed is fabulous.
	The press knows how to use that.
	And now, a lot of that is a good thing.
	A lot of that gets us the information about corruption in government.
	And a lot of it is bad.
	But the whole point is nothing?
	Zero?
	At least it deserves an explanation that says we aren't very active.
	We're just not going to tell you about it.
	Okay, that would help a little.
	That would help a little.
	The city council is making war on quality of life.
	I don't even know what the heck that means.
	And let me just make the final point before we get off that the teachers union, the teachers union is supporting Mandami.
	So is the NEA.
	The NEA has also broken all ties with the Anti-Defamation League, which is the organization that protects against discrimination with a special emphasis on the Jewish people.
	I don't think...
	I don't think I ever would have thought that would happen.
	I mean, the ADL, of course, is largely a Jewish organization.
	The teachers' union, particularly in the Northeast, has a large number of Jewish members, particularly in New York.
	I don't know that it was ever considered like a Jewish union, but it certainly was a union that had a large number of Jewish people, and therefore it had a lot of inter-organization connections with Jewish organizations, as it did with Irish and Italian, in order to bolster itself.
	And because of the sort of competition between the Catholic schools and the Jewish schools, the teachers' unions tended to be a little more Protestant and Jewish.
	That's gone because the Catholic schools are unfortunately down to nothing, which is an absolute tragedy.
	I didn't cover this.
	Dr. Maria did in a show that I sent you over there.
	But Cardinal Spellman High School, which is a high school for poor kids, about half of whom are Catholics, and the Catholic Church subsidizes, they won $10 million in college scholarships.
	They don't have anywhere near the facilities that the public school system had.
	They don't spend $32,000 a kid.
	It's more like nine or 10.
	Except every single one of their kids graduated and 90% went to college.
	I mean, you don't have a public, I'm not even sure that the number one public schools are doing that anymore.
	This is just a regular Catholic school.
	Nine kids, $10 million in scholarships.
	Uh-huh.
	To Princeton, Harvard.
	I say keep that.
	Go somewhere else.
	They're going to turn these kids who probably are good, solid kids, into Marxist, anti-American agents.
	Well, we're going to be back tomorrow for a wrap-up of the week for analysis of Butley County.
	We'll see where we're getting on peace in two places where it seems like it's been going on for, I shouldn't say it, but maybe because you cover it, doesn't it seem like it's going on for too long?
	Now, that all means nothing if it works out right.
	So maybe I'm just impatient.
	What do you think, guys?
	Do you feel it's going on too long and therefore losing momentum?
	Or do you think it's...
	I think it still has momentum.
	I think it has, I think more than momentum, it has almost insoluble problems.
	And there doesn't seem to be, at least publicly, a solution to them but one.
	And the one is kind of far-fetched.
	And there was a bit of criticism of it today, which, and there was going to be another article tomorrow, so I was going to wait to cover it about the Hebron recommendation, which is, if you might recall, that the sheiks in Hebron want to set up a separate emirate.
	And the separate emirate would be completely in accord with what Israel, the Israel Peace and American Peace Agreement.
	They would accept Israel, not only the existence of the state of Israel, but as a Jewish state.
	They would eliminate all terrorist groups.
	They would have Israel oversee that.
	They would maintain a relationship with Israel right now that would be pretty similar to what it is right now.
	And then over a period of time, they negotiate what seemed to be both politically and economically the best solution.
	It might not be to break away from Israel.
	It might be to be like a kind of a sovereign entity within the state of Israel.
	Well, sign me up for a cultural trading, like a cultural exchange and trading partner that doesn't want to kill everyone around them.
	But you know, the thing I like about it is it's the first time, I think, a Palestinian group got together and said, you know, we recognize that this is an impossible situation, an insoluble problem, almost like one with a non-starter put in it.
	And here's the answer to it.
	Now, it may be a fanciful answer, but sometimes a fanciful answer leads to Maybe it'll slap everybody in the face and say, stop being stupid about a two-state solution.
	For 40 or 30 years, you've been talking about a stupid solution that can't happen when the state wants to kill the other state.
	I mean, even Trump's people, I don't get it.
	Like Steve Witcoff, and I like Steve.
	But I mean, why would you spend a minute negotiating unless they're telling you we're not going to kill the Jews anymore?
	And we're going to, at the end of this, we're not there yet.
	But at the end of it, we know the end of it is going to be, we're not going to kill the Jews.
	We recognize the Jewish state.
	If they can't tell you that, that that's where we're going, what the hell are we negotiating for?
	Maybe he's just trying to, you know, prod them for information, catch them off guard, keep them off guard, feed them stuff.
	I like to have faith in him.
	That's really good if it wasn't, you know, they were killing you while they're doing that, you know, or planning to kill us again or using the hoodies to kill people in the Red Sea.
	And I just don't get why it doesn't get out more how they've directly killed Americans and through these prosecutors.
	I don't know how you can look at him and not say, well, you one of the guys that ordered the killing of 14 troops?
	Right.
	And that's why the president, whether it was Solomani or his recent strikes.
	We know the guy who ordered all of them, but he's sitting there on the big throne.
	Right.
	Right.
	Pray for the people of Israel.
	What brave people.
	What good allies, huh?
	I'm telling you.
	If I'm going into a fight, I want an Israeli right next to me.
	Just take one of them.
	They hold their own, don't they?
	That's what you got to expect from an ally, and that's what Trump is trying to get out of NATO.
	But we don't need them.
	Look, if they don't want to put their money in, they don't want to train, they don't want to become a military power, fine.
	But what do we need them for?
	So pray for the president and the wisdom that he has.
	Let it expand.
	If I, I feel so bad, and I'm sure you do, for the people in Iran, because they should be free.
	And they'd be great people.
	And they are great people, but they would be if they were free.
	They could contribute and the people of Ukraine and our people who are still suffering from the floods.
	We'll bring you up to date on those floods for the end of the week tomorrow.
	Hopefully we'll have more advanced information about it.
	And the president's making his visit tomorrow.
	So we'll be sure to get, I'm sure, a lot of conclusive facts.
	Well, thank you very, very much for listening.
	And remember, we'll be back tomorrow, 7 o'clock on Lindell TV.
	And then at 8 o'clock right here on X America's Mayor Live.
	God bless America.

	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'd like to know who we're dealing with.
	They give us the highest quality, all organic, non-GMO.
	You should know all Arabica beans.
	No Robusto.
	All Arabica.
	they're going to go into the roaster and it'll get roasted for about 20 minutes or so Oh my goodness.
	Look at these.
	my goodness You're going to want to specially order these.
	This is what goes into Rudy's coffee.
	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.
