America's Mayor Live (745): ELECTION 2026—Democrat Party Veers Further Left with Bernie, AOC & Crew
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
This is a man 19 years younger than my father, only a few years older than me, who taught me how to sweat.
He, not my father, taught me how to sweat.
I think almost religiously afraid to question whether I really wanted to be a priest because he thought I would get crossed.
That was my own rule.
He's bigger than life.
And he's bigger than life.
Everybody, if you go find people who live who are local and you're a big one, I'm a questionnaire.
You couldn't push the mission or a very talented person.
You will find that I am not exaggerating.
But beyond that, Joe Vigiano was a member of ESU 2003-4.
about the two brothers and their heroics on that day in which they both lost their lives and then their father and mother searching for them.
Their dad, you would think is the start of all this.
Their dad was a legendary, heroic, multi-decorated, high-ranking chief ultimately, but worked his way up from the bottom of the fire department that everybody in the fire department knew, named John Vigiano.
He was an icon of the New York City fire department.
New York City fire department, even more than the police department, is like a club.
of out of this world heroes.
I know you think I'm exaggerating.
If you were mayor of New York and you knew what you had to deal with when you became mayor and you ended up seeing how these people perform, I'm underestimating.
So two sons from Joseph, John, Joseph.
John follows in dad's footsteps and becomes a firefighter.
I believe that was sort of the tradition of the family going back 180 years being firefighters, I think.
Joseph goes off and does something different.
He becomes a police officer.
But immediately, he keeps trying to get into the ESU unit, which is closest to being a firefighter as you can get.
Because you, and in fact, it has created hostility between the two.
Because they go and do rescues and the fire department does rescues.
So Joe and Joseph and John die on September 11th doing rescues.
Their father comes back, retired, maybe 70 at this point, still known by every firefighter because of his legend, and begins searching for his sons' bodies.
And the whole one of that story becomes one of the ten or twelve iconic stories of September 11.
It becomes a movie called Twin Towers.
And now a new movie is coming out.
The new movie is about the next generation, because two of Joe's sons have now become hero police officers themselves.
And if you would like to see them, this is the picture of them.
And that is that woman, maybe tougher than all of them.
That's Kathy, who keeps her husband alive every day.
She's run every organization having to do with September 11.
She's a New York City retired detective with her own list of heroics.
And they all belong in the Hall of Fame.
So there's a new movie coming out.
I think it's out now.
It should be out now.
about exactly why the son has followed in dad's footsteps.
And I'm looking at the one on the right.
I can't see the one on the left.
That's a hell of a lot of medals to get for the amount of time he's been in the police department.
Gee, he's only a...
He's a baby.
When I was...
When I did the eulogy at the funerals for the two boys, the two boys, they were babies and they were probably one of the babies that made me cry because I could get through the eulogies if there were no kids around.
But when I did the Vigianos, I'm looking at these boys and I say to myself, and this is not.
unusual with just them.
How is it that they're going to grow up without a father?
Because a terrorist came along and killed them for no reason at all.
And not only that, they didn't have to be killed.
They got killed by choice.
You know, both these men were very intelligent men, as their father was and as their children are.
And they knew, and not only that, they understood emergencies better than all the jackasses that talk about it on television.
They knew they were going to die.
I talked to some going in that knew they were going to die.
I'm not just making this up for melodramatic effect.
I mean, they knew they were going to die.
Now, there are some that they all knew they were going to die.
They're professionals.
Some of them elect to put it in the back of their mind and they just ignore it.
Some of them in the front of their mind because it gives them a chance maybe to avoid actually dying because, you know, there's always a few people escape.
But they know the risk they're facing.
It's like tunnels and towers that you hear the advertisement for with the Siller family.
It's all built on their brother who was off that day, went, got his equipment, ran to the tower, saved people and died.
When he was running to that tower, when he came out of the Brooklyn Battery Tunnel, he was running to that tower, which I've recreated, oh God, how many times.
He saw a fire that you or I would run away from.
But his job that he swore to do was to run to it.
A lot of people have a job they swore to them when it gets too dangerous they run the other way.
Uh-huh.
Not Stephen Siller.
So I urge you to, and we'll get you more details on the new documentary.
They have an older documentary, which you can get now called Twin Tower, which describes the heroics of John and Joseph and the role of the patriarch in the family.
But I would like you to, I would also like to make one other point.
And you tell me what you think of this point, okay?
Please, like, let Ted know what you think.
This is important to me, this point.
And some at some point over the course of these weeks leading up to that, I'll explain to you the importance of not going to do it now.
Do you know that both of them were very, very religious practicing Roman Catholics?
I know they're priests.
I know they're priests.
Do you know how many of them were?
And now we have people saying that, I mean, they don't mean anything.
I am convinced, and I don't know, people can disagree with this.
I'm convinced of one of the primary reasons these people can overcome the natural fear that anybody would have of going to a burning building.
And would, I mean, I would tell you to run away from a burning building.
You know why they run in?
Because they're very religious men.
And some of them carry themselves that way, some don't.
But I'm sure that Jesus would all recognize them that way because they're all able to say that somebody else's life is important enough that they'll sacrifice their own.
That is a great person.
That's a great Christian.
and the religion that teaches that is the christian religion I'm sorry.
It's just hard to get through this.
There were so many like them.
They do stand for so many others.
And then in some ways, they really are entitled to their own individual recognition.
And next week we'll have Kathy on.
Kathy is a good friend and a woman who's made her own contributions.
I don't know, Kathy should be on to talk to people about how to deal with death of your husband or your child.
She's completely broken by it and completely able to be totally productive.
Wow.
Mike Disfillers, that sponsored Tunnel to Towers.
Well, the Ukraine war is still going on, except it seems very one-sided.
So yesterday Putin attacked the capital of Ukraine again Kiev Remember we had Mayor Putschko on last week, the mayor of Kiev.
We tried to reach him today, right?
We did.
Sometimes I don't know what time it is there, but he does get back to me.
I'll check again.
But now it's middle of the night.
And you should know that the mayor of Kiev was my client, is my good friend.
I've worked for him in several capacities as his lawyer, as his consultant, even as a political consultant for a while when he ran for mayor.
He was the heavyweight champion of the world, one of the greatest, undefeated.
I worry about him.
I've been worrying about him for years.
I mean, from the first 2014 thing when he called me up and needed help.
And I was on a golf course and he was in the middle of being shot at.
And...
Well, in any event, Putin, who is...
Well, I'm just gonna report the facts, let you decide,'cause I have very strong feelings about this.
Putin, the army of the army On Thursday, he unleashed an attack and the time zones confused me.
So maybe it was leading into Friday or whatever.
He launched a massive attack on Kiev, probably the largest attack they've done on Kiev.
Here the war is theoretically moving toward a solution, and he is killing more people than it's like, we're getting near the end.
I want to make sure I kill as many as I can.
Do you get the idea of what a maniacal killer this guy is?
Don't ever leave it out of your head.
Ever, ever for a second.
629 drones.
He kills 17 people.
and four children that don't have to die.
This war is ready to be solved.
It'll be over.
Move on.
You got your territory.
You're going to have to give some back.
You may get some.
You've got to do this now.
You've got to continue to kill people.
You're not going to accomplish anything.
They're not going to give you more because you're doing this.
Thank you.
Two missiles hit the UK and the EU Council.
I'm sure that didn't sit well with them and he killed a certain number of children as of last night it was four they think it's more than that most of the you most of the casualties and the deaths were civilians and since it was right in the middle of kiev it was designed to be for civilians So,
I don't know how much more time we're going to give him.
But every day we give him is the last day for any number of innocent civilians in Ukraine.
And boy, you can have hard feelings toward Ukraine, toward the leadership, toward the crooked oligarchs, toward the people who manipulated our election when they claimed the Russians did.
the people who are hiding the evidence of unbelievable corruption at the highest levels of their government and ours.
You can have all those feelings.
But it doesn't affect a wonderful, beautiful religion.
religious, educated people of Ukraine.
They're victims of this.
And they deserve consideration.
And when somebody like this monster, Putin goes after them directly, it's just out of complete meanness.
The Ukrainians have gotten themselves into a state of mind.
Now, and Putin is smart enough to realize this, that the more he terrorizes them, the more obstinate they're going to become.
There's a point at which someone humiliates you enough if you're a solid person.
You say, "I'd rather die." Distract with the president.
What is this, Ted?
Sorry, I was just going to play some B-roll while you talked.
There wasn't supposed to be sound.
Just B-roll.
That's okay.
I don't care.
I didn't mean to interrupt you.
I thought there was something you wanted to show.
Oh, nope.
Just B-roll while you talk.
And unfortunately, the soundplate.
So we interrupted your brilliant comments.
Thank you.
The problem for Ukraine is they have to accomplish moving a country out of their country and they're not allowed to attack that country.
Biden didn't let them do it.
And now we have people at the State Department that have to approve their use of our weapons like Clayton Elberry.
What the hell is his name?
Clayton Eldridge.
Eldridge Berry Boo?
Berry, I thought it was.
Berry Boo.
Eldridge Bolton?
Elbridge Colby.
Eldridge.
Oh, Bolton.
What was his name?
Elbridge Colby.
Eldridge Colby.
Who the hell is he?
He's the one that has denied permission to Ukraine to use some of the long-range missiles we have to kick the shit out of Russia so they'll stop killing Ukrainians.
Now, you don't let people defend yourself?
I don't know.
I wish the president had put it all together.
The president said that Ukraine is entitled to attack Russia if Russia's attacking them.
But Eldridge Colby, I guess, is really in charge eldridge kubi how on kubi now exactly who is he he's an assistant secretary of paper well i'll get that for you mayor why doesn't marco just slap in the head he is he follows you on twitter well then if you follow me on twitter eldridge would you let the ukrainians
defend themselves He's the undersecretary.
You're like some girlfriends I have when I get into fights and they grab my hands.
I say, thank you.
You can get me killed.
There's Elbridge right here, picture of Elbridge.
I don't know what the heck provokes you to do this.
But you got a problem between Ukraine and Russia.
It's not as exaggerated as between Israel and Hamas of moral equivalence.
Israel and Hamas are on two different planes.
One is an established government that makes mistakes but tries to correct them like we do.
Israel is very much morally like we are.
And Hamas and the entire Palestinian Authority is anywhere from radical terrorists to supporting it with maybe a few percent Palestinians who don't.
Now, we go to Russia.
Ukraine is a flawed government.
that has been cooperating illegally for the purpose of huge amounts of wealth transfer from the people of Ukraine to the oligarchs and to Democrat politicians in the United States and a couple of Americans.
And they continue to do it.
And I am sure it involved the money we gave them to defend themselves.
And I am sure Zelensky participated in that as he's covered up massive criminality on the part of the people at the highest levels of his government and ours.
On the other hand, it's a group of people that are extraordinarily good people, hardworking people, very religious people.
Who have been dealt a terrible deal.
Going back to czarist Russia and communist Russia and the Nazis.
Who really very, very much want to be a modern European democracy.
And if we had worked with them and helped them instead of help corrupt them.
You know, Joe Biden was sent there to solve their corruption and he became, you know, as crooked or weak.
or worse than their oligarchs so he would lecture about corruption and they'd laugh at him because the the the pretext here in the United States you go to Ukraine you ask about Joe Biden don't say he's the biggest crook he's big they will say he's a bigger crook than their crooks.
I don't know if that's true, but he sure challenges it.
So we bear some responsibility for Ukraine not being able to work itself out of the corruption that overlays it.
But at least to put together the structure of a democratic government, it has some of those possibilities, like they were able to get rid of some really, really terrible dictators.
And their heart is moving in that direction.
And we've got possibilities with them.
To say they don't count in our...
That's being an isolationist without analysis.
An isolation without analysis is you stay out of everything, as opposed to you stay out of the ones that really don't affect you, and you make sure you're a material part of the ones that do.
Otherwise, you'll have a hitler happen like at Munich.
There's no, and anybody who likes to see themselves described uniformly as an interventionist or an isolationist is just somebody who's too lazy to think.
You shouldn't be either.
The circumstances should determine what you're going to be.
In any event, it's time to put the screws on Biden.
I'm sorry, on Putin.
Yeah, time to put the screws on Biden too, but what would it matter?
They just put him in a nut house.
It's time to deprive him of oil, to deprive him of everything.
so that he becomes a total failure in his country and maybe they overthrow him and they sit down and make a reasonable peace where they have to give half and Ukraine's got to give half, not set up a situation so that they can easily move in and take over the rest of Ukraine at will, which is what they have posited.
And the president should be really, really mad because they double crossed him.
And they're trying to blame it on Steve Whitcoff, which is hilarious.
I'm sure Steve Whitcoff just conveyed what he was told.
And I'm sure he's telling the truth and they're lying.
Steve Whitcoff is a man well known for telling the truth and they're well known for being the biggest liars in the history of the world.
So I don't know if it's not hard to figure that one out.
Well said.
So shall we take a break and see what we got to sell and make sure that people take care of particularly t2t.org?
Let's take a quick comment and yes, as the mayor said, support Tontal Towers.
Now's the time.
U.S. Army Major Scott Smiley paid a high price serving on Asian.
Scott was leading his platoon in Iraq when a blast sent shrapnel through his eyes.
leaving him blind and temporarily paralyzed.
Scott would become the first blind active duty military officer before medically retiring years later.

This is what goes into Rudy's coffee.
Welcome back to America's Mayor Live.
So next week, over the weekend, this Labor Day weekend, I'm going to start trying to isolate, and it won't be terribly long, but I thought it might be useful.
if I isolated some things about September 11 as we get to the, you know, the anniversary that were different then than now.
I can think of a few quickly.
I'm going to try come up with seven or eight or nine.
I think if I push my memory and I push my thinking and test it out with Ted or Dr. Maria or some of my other, some of my former deputy mayors, it was such an, it amazed me when the pandemic happened how we didn't react the same way we did on September 11.
I mean, you know the one that shocked me the most when they threw God out?
You know, when they said you can't go to Easter Mass, you can't go to high holidays because we've relied so much on God during September 11.
Like the idea that you would get these nasty comments about prayer from Little Red Lion Hood or the boy mayor of Minneapolis who shouldn't be mayor of anything.
I mean, the guy gave up a police station, that should have been the end of him.
Just to see him around makes me want to vomit.
And every cop in America.
And now he's saying, first thing he talked about when he, these kids just got killed.
And he walks out and he says, don't, you know, don't, I don't want anyone to be unfair if you tortured transgender people and went after them.
I'm not even sure anybody knew that the guy was transgender at the time.
Nobody was doing that.
Maybe he invited it.
How do I know?
But I mean, I don't know what's wrong with him.
I don't need to examine what's wrong with him.
He's proved he shouldn't be anywhere near protecting other people because he gets them killed.
And I am convinced, and I know there are people who would dispute this, that guy is one of the single major causes of all those riots.
Because he gave them, the minute a police department surrendered a police department, that reverberated all over the country.
And they started to look for places of weakness where they could do that.
And they had plenty of them because Soros had purchased them for them.
I remember, again, Bernie, you know, died just a while back.
So I think of Bernie a lot.
And Bernie and I spent a lot of time together, always on the anniversaries of September 11.
I would go with him.
He would come with me.
And then leading up to September 11th, we were on the phone all the time, like what Tom von Aspen.
And our third...
He was the head of Office of Emergency Management.
But when that happened, I don't know if I called Bernie or Bernie called me.
I can't tell you the language we used.
I think we were both thinking of getting on a plane and going and beating the shit out of it, the little baby.
He said, this is a terrible thing, boss.
I mean, this guy, this is going to reverberate all over.
I said, Bernie, what would I have done?
I don't know, hypothetically.
He said, well, you would have come with me and gone, you wouldn't let me go to the precinct alone.
You'd have come with me, we'd have sat in that precinct, and they'd either be dead or we'd be dead.
But they weren't going to get the precinct.
That could take a New York City precinct, a bunch of animals.
But what are we going to go back to a thousand years?
I mean, don't these people know we're protecting Western civilization?
Well, because they hate Western civilization.
We're not just protecting Western civilization.
We're protecting civilization.
They're uncivilized.
They're uncivilized animals that will, in a rage, you know, bring down an entire city, kill all kinds of innocent people.
And they become the heroes.
And then we make statues to George Floyd, gold statues to George Floyd.
The only thing about his life is noteworthy is the way he died, which may also have been misrepresented.
Everything about his life was misrepresented.
Why wouldn't that be?
Prayer is not freaking enough.
Freaking enough?
Why don't they take her off the air?
God, we have to endure that in a country.
that was based on rights that come from God.
I'm sorry, little red lion hood.
You were a disgraceful, traitorous.
incompetent lying jackass who served the worst president who was a traitor to the United States what the hell you're doing on that disgusting network well it says everything you can about that network she's on cnbc msnbc or cnnn msnbc seem to be the worst They're, yes, yeah, yeah.
I think that's freaking prayer.
Does that asshole realize?
This was a Catholic church where these children were praying.
And whether she is, you know, too smart to believe in God or not, almost all their parents do.
And when she says that, that goes right to their heart.
Boom.
You want to join the terrorists?
Well, since you empower them and you have throughout your entire administration, and your boss gave them more money than anybody, who should be in jail for that, as well as about 10 other things.
And you probably should be there for aiding and abetting him.
But have you on a television station saying freaking prayer.
And you don't want to tell me that comes from the brainwashing that you got in your education or growing up as a Democrat to be a communist?
Who was the philosopher of the 19th century whose goal was to eliminate God?
Can you name him little red lighting, lying hood?
Or are you a smart or stupid victim of Ivy League type education.
Well, if you're a smart one, you know the answer and you know exactly what you're doing.
If you're a dumb one, you're just brainwashed.
But either way, you're a useless creature.
I don't know if you or the one who looked like she put her hand in a electric socket and every day got her hair...
Well, the vice president had a...
We'll put on the screen.
Which vice president?
Our vice president, Jamie.
You mean the real vice president?
Responded to Jens Sadler.
A good vice president.
Yeah, disgusting.
Recent convert to Catholicism.
Right.
The vice president says, we pray because our hearts are broken.
We pray because we know God listens.
We pray because we know that God works in mysterious ways and can inspire us to further action.
Why do you feel the need to attack other people for praying when kids were just killed praying?
Thank you.
Thank you, JD.
I'm almost crying with what you said.
Thank you.
Thank you.
It's pathetic that you have to stand up for God.
Somebody has to stand up for God in America when something like this happens.
See, this is again the thing about September 11, I don't get.
I had no, one of the first things I said is let's all pray for help from God that is bigger than us.
Nobody criticized me for that, even the Demon.
Even Tampon Tim said we should pray to God.
Or maybe he did it, maybe he did it.
Maybe he did it as a memorized incantation.
Maybe he did it from his heart.
But he did it.
Well, what he didn't do is attack prayer after, it's just so hard to even wrap your head around.
But now you've got to see the quality of the person or the non-person that was doing that job for a couple of years.
Right.
That's a vicious human being.
Right.
Just awful.
And on that note, we want to honor the truth.
Now, on September 11, it brought out the best in them.
I'm some of the Democrats.
Right.
So what's happened between, this is what we should think about a lot over the weekend right and try and since there are certain things you can give people the benefit of your own experience we should think out because i haven't done it what so why is that different september 11th they were all supporting america they were all supporting bush they were all supporting me i mean truly it wasn't just garbage they actually came through right now all of a sudden they're
attacking god I mean, I can't tell you how many, some of the firefighters, how many of those firefighters were extremely religious.
I have never gone to more masses in my entire life.
And I grew up in the Catholic Church.
I was an altar boy.
I've never been to more masses in my entire life than when that happened.
Two a day, three a day.
And then there'd be Protestant services and Jewish services.
90% of the people who died were anywhere from absolutely religious to at least religious.
You have to respect that.
And help bring people together.
Religion, God, help bring people together.
Now, now it's going to be separated by the fact that a large group of Democrats want to attack prayer and God.
Freaking prayer?
I mean, there's no doubt she should be thrown off the station for saying that.
And what the hell they want the biggest liar, oh no, maybe the other one, electric socket hare, should be the one to go.
I don't know.
Does she have a job yet?
doing anything.
I actually haven't seen her around.
There must be somebody that wants her to come out every day in life with them.
I mean, Little Red Lionhood does it for MSNBC.
She comes out every day in life for them.
She's doing the same thing she did when she was the press secretary to the most perverted, the most dishonest, the most crooked, and the most demented president ever.
That must be a real high for you, liar, huh?
And you know it, right?
You know that half the time he put the ice cream in his mouth, he missed.
You had to have seen that.
Well, China completed the trial of Jimmy Lai.
Now, why should you know about that?
You should know about that because you have to constantly be reminded that China is a vicious, horrible, anti-human dictatorship that tries people the way we used to try Trump people during the Biden administration.
They don't get a right to defend themselves.
They don't get a right to do anything.
The trial is a show trial, as mine was, as Trump's was.
And Jimmy Lai got convicted the other day in, and Jimmy Lai was a hero of Hong Kong.
Jimmy Lai actually believed that China, I don't know if he actually believed it, but he hoped that China would live up to their promise that Hong Kong would not be taken over and made into a subservient vassal of the red Chinese government, which they have been.
And now, because he speaks out about it, they want to take his freedom and liberty away.
And they gave him a trial in which people had some opportunity to find out what was going on.
I don't know if it was unfair.
as a trial against Trump with Engeron.
I don't know.
That was about as unfair as it could get.
Or the trial with that other judge whose name I keep escaping, the one whose daughter made a million dollars afterwards from Biden and Harris and nobody seems to care and nobody cares about the judges who railroaded me or the bar associations that threw me out based on not on complaints from real people but complaints from political activists and kind of handled by complete political creeps the one in New York completely ignored something
they should have investigated which is the critical tape about Georgia.
How much was eliminated, Ted?
I always forget the amount.
30, 40 minutes?
Oh my gosh.
I mean, yeah., let me tell you.
And it was all the critical, it was all the pieces.
And it's like it doesn't.
At least a half hour.
You know, that might have explained why the Secretary of State of Georgia is such a damn criminal.
And the president never should have been indicted for the conversation with him.
Because he's the one who handed over to the prosecutor.
But the prosecutor said, I didn't know that this was all eliminated.
It was given to me this way.
Now, that may or may not be true.
But that suggests that the prosecutor in New York.
who also is a criminal for covering this up, never bothered to listen to it.
He just assumed I was guilty.
I mean, fine.
Never occurring to him that no, well, of course it occurred to him.
That none of the parties in the case were asking for any discipline from me.
The judge wasn't.
He ruled against me because he was required to rule against me.
What do you think I'm stupid?
I don't understand why he did it.
And then I had a judge that was appointed, and that judge was like a retired judge.
I don't know if she was...
50, 60, 70, 80.
I mean, she actually was about 95 and looked at it, but...
her at her cell phone which i'm not sure she knew how to operate and when she was confronted with the when she was confronted with the absolutely startling dramatic absolutely incriminating evidence that uh Georgia sent to New York a tape that had been highly doctored, she just ignored it.
Like it happens all the time.
I guess it does happen all the time in the crooked Democrat New York courts.
And nobody wants to worry about it.
So I get disbarred.
And lawyers who steal, who know Now, should a court be arranged that way?
Of course it shouldn't.
The courts have been arranged that way in New York from time immemorial.
And the bar association that just barred me supports that.
Get it?
Mayor Bowser was in an interesting position the other day.
She's kind of turning her tune, Mayor.
Well, I can't tell.
She was for the National Guard before she was against the National Guard.
and now she's for Trump again.
But I think she's not sure about the National Guard.
But she had to thank them for bringing crime down by numbers that she couldn't even dream of.
Yeah.
I mean, it would have been, now she's thinking about any possibility of being re-elected.
And she's also trying to ward off the possibility that Congress will take D.C. back.
And it should.
because D.C. is a dangerous place to be.
And when we're talking about people getting killed, we shouldn't be dealing with all this sensitivity thing.
The sensitivity is for the families, you have to explain that their people were killed.
Not, oh, this is, this is, the people in District Columbia should be allowed to have, look, if they elect to live there, they're living in a place the constitution has put aside as a very special piece of federal property.
You decide to live on West Point, you're governed by federal law.
If you decide to live in the District Columbia, you're governed by federal law.
Right, there's no, that's a great point there.
They did this whole thing to see if self-governance would work.
It doesn't.
They've had a mayor who was selling drugs.
They've had crime records.
Right now, with crime down, you got a seven times greater chance of being killed in the district than in New York.
You think they're going to change that once Trump?
That affects the entire country, not just the people who live there.
And if you don't like being governed by federal law, go live somewhere else.
Americans were always very mobile.
If they didn't like conditions in New York, they moved to Ohio.
They're doing it right now.
They're moving out of New York like crazy and Chicago.
I mean, you would not know that from the communist press, but you would know it just from your life experience.
My God, I have more people in Florida who come from New York than in New York.
I thought I'd be lonely in Florida.
I'm surrounded by New Yorkers.
I can't go out without, I come from New York.
I come from New York.
You were the mayor.
You should go back.
You should be mayor.
Good.
No, stay here.
How, I mean, is that true?
Am I exaggerating one bit, Ted?
Yeah.
I am.
No.
You caught me there.
Gosh.
Well, Bowser had to admit it.
Meanwhile, the dumbest man in Chicago, who I learned from Rob Schmidt is the mayor, I didn't know that, doesn't want the National Guard because he likes the idea that every weekend, four to ten people get killed and fifteen to forty get wounded,
of which ninety percent are black, because he doesn't like black people, I guess, even though he's black yeah so he likes it that way Probably there's a lot of people in Chicago he doesn't like, because a lot of them are getting killed and 90% of the black.
And you got to become some kind of a sick idiot.
What is he?
A political moron automaton.
It baffles the mind how the kills a lot of people.
Right.
And how they get any where do they have any sort of support?
I mean, the last mayor, Lightfoot, was thrown out of office.
To this guy.
Didn't she lose to him?
To this guy.
So maybe they don't learn and the voters did throw the last one out, but we'll see with this one., how the public reacts because what you're seeing in Washington is a very successful operation.
So it's it's it's putting some Democrats into a little bit of a bind.
Any more commercials we have to do?
We've done them all.
Good.
I want to show people this because they've decided to give a military funeral to Ashley Babbitt, of which I am extremely supportive.
I wear this all the time since her mom gave it to me.
I'm going to take it off when they convict a murderer.
Think I know who he is?
There.
This shouldn't happen.
I have very, very strong feelings about homicide as an ex-prosecutor.
Homicide was the thing you never gave up on.
The police department that I come from has a tradition of endless open cases for homicide.
You never close it.
200 years ago, we'll solve a homicide.
Now, God will look at it for us.
You don't let people, you know what that does when you have a police department that says that every homicide case is open?
It's like abortion and some of the other things.
When they write the history of this era from the point of view of a great moral theologian, they're going to say that it's the diminishing and unbelievable elimination of the respect for human life that brought us to where we are.
There's nothing more precious than human life.
And there's nothing that you have a right to interfere with where that barrier is greater than human life.
And what we've done in the name of really Marxism, because that emerges, that idea that human life emerges from belief in God.
But communists believe that only stupid people believe in God because they're smarter than God.
And second, that all this respect for human life, etc., is just silly.
It means that the powerful people will destroy the weak people because it's just a fake whatever.
And then they become massive bloodthirsty murderers, which is what happened in Russia, what happened in China, what will happen to us in the direction that we're going.
This was a very important human life that was taken from us.
This was a very, very good woman who served a country in the military, who on September 11th, although they condemn her for coming in there, and first of all, they have no idea if she went in there illegally or not there's no there's no record of whether she jumped over something or pushed away through or was invited in there are examples numerous of people being invited in a lot more than people who came in illegally invited in door open for
them please open the door for me i don't know i kind of figure i can go in that was a that what i just told you was considerably more than people jumping over and some of the people that pushed away and then prosecuted.
I will tell you I am convinced from hard evidence that that was completely orchestrated by Nancy Pelosi, by the Democrats, just the way they orchestrated Russian collusion,
the Ukrainian conversation, the extraordinary, unbelievable mass censorship of the single most relevant piece of information of presidential election, Hunter Biden's computer, hard drive.
and accuse me and Trump of being Russian operatives from 51 so-called former intelligence agents, all bums.
One of them just wrote an editorial in the Wall Street Journal because Murdoch was sucking as you know what.
I mean, these people are disgraceful saying about a hard drive that was 100% true and revealed massive criminality on the part of a degenerate president and his drug addicted son.
But this has earmarks of Russian.
disinformation no one bothered to ask um what earmarks remarks can you mention one oh they're too many to mention well since they're too many could just pick one uh no well did you ever did you ever look at it no how long did you have to decide that I can't remember.
Like three, four minutes?
Yes.
Do you have a security clearance?
Yes.
If you didn't sign it, you think Biden would have taken it from you?
Yes, who?
You're making a lot of money from that security clearance.
Well, I'm going to tell you who the one was.
I'm going to show it to you.
I think he's the worst because he knows me.
He knows I'm not a Russian agent.
He knows that's complete bullshit.
And he's too smart to have gone for it.
He's way, way too damn smart.
to have gone for it.
And that's the worst part of it.
He did it maliciously.
Right.
And for that, he should be put in prison because he helped to orchestrate the fraudulent election of a president by depriving the American people of extraordinarily material information.
And he goes around being honored by people.
People should spit at him.
Oh, yeah.
I don't know.
You go to jail for spitting at somebody because if I met him, it would be really hard not to spit at him.
But he claimed to be like an admirer of mine.
Yeah.
Who are we talking now?
Who are we talking about?
go to jail.
I'll show you the article right here.
It's right here.
Well, of course, well, of course, while we wait here, the mayor's going to pull up this article.
It's just another example of how the Biden administration didn't just weaponize the Justice Department, but they flat out used the Justice Department and intelligence agencies to concoct a totally false lie in order to subvert our election system.
Leon Panetta, it was yesterday's Wall Street Journal, I should call the great bipartisan abdication, which means nothing in comparison to the great lie of our disloyal, traitorous intelligence community.
I mean, Leon is part of the group of those 50.
Remember, if you want to think the worst thing about that 51 is they lied about.
Trump and me.
The worst thing is they're the architects of our intelligence for the last 20 years before that.
Benghazi, weapons of mass destruction, not paying attention to bin Laden so that I almost died on September 11 and a lot of my friends died.
You think I have any respect for these people?
This is what's wrong with us.
Leon Panetta is what's wrong with us.
He should be disgraced.
The Wall Street Journal, when he submits an article, should say, we're not going to take it.
Instead, they would do it to me.
Like Murdoch won't let me on Fox.
I don't know what's wrong with Murdoch.
Some kind of love for China, some kind of love for these traitors like Panetta.
I used to be a friend of his.
I helped him get Fox television.
And he's going to die an enemy of the United States by promoting all of these completely totaled, But in any event, Ashley Babbitt's going to get a military funeral.
I like that and I am very, very supportive of that.
And I hope what that means is there's going to be a full and complete investigation because there's no doubt she was murdered.
I don't have a doubt in the world.
I've studied that tape.
I've studied that tape specifically with narcotic, with homicide detectives and asked them to please critique my ideas about it.
And I'll do a special show with them if you want.
And I will show you that this was at a maximum first degree murder, at a minimum criminally negligent homicide.
I'll just give you one little hint.
The defense for a police officer killing an unarmed person, and she was unarmed, is that they're in legitimate fear for their life.
There isn't a way in the world that this guy was in legitimate fear for his life.
He wasn't even in fear for his life, much less legitimate fear.
And I can demonstrate that because he shot the wrong people if he was in fear.
I'm not going to go through it now, but we will have plenty of time over and over again to hound the U.S. Attorney's O office in the district to prosecute detective Bell for killing, murdering a veteran and a woman who was actually concerned about reality, which is that the 2020 election was stolen.
Wake up, it was.
The evidence of that is overwhelming.
The evidence of the interference and corruption that prevented the ability to prove that is also overwhelming.
And if you want to escape reality and go off in your own little world.
Go ahead.
So tonight I want you to go over to Lindell TV, where I used to be like for an hour before this.
And I'd like you to get used to that so that you can watch the beginning of our show, our eight o'clock show on Lindell or on X. But in any event, Dr. Maria is on.
She's going to have a great show tonight.
A couple of little things I want to wrap up before you do that.
Mark Teixeira, who is a good friend of mine and somebody I really love because he was on the last Yankee World Series team, and he was more than.
just an appendage.
He's one of the reasons they won it.
Mark had a great season.
He had a great playoff.
He had a great World Series.
Both Jeter and Arod will tell you, I think Soriano was at second.
That's hard to do with a right-hander.
Much easier to get home runs with a left-hander in New York City in Yankee Stadium.
That game, I remember that.
was yet there.
Yeah, I'm not even sure Minnesota ever beat us in any playoff game.
It was like a hex we had on them.
The tougher games were with what Those were tough.
I felt sorry for Lou because he was a great Yankee too.
Remember one time when he lost to us after he had had the greatest season in the history of baseball?
I went into the dugout.
I said, Lou, I feel sorry for you.
He said, I just can't beat those F ⁇ Yanges.
We're not going to show the same one, are we?
Oh, that's not right.
We can find another.
I mean, Tesheri had more than one home run.
Right.
I also want to point out, because it's often overlooked.
He was a super, he was a Gold Golf winner like about seven times.
When he played for Texas, as well as when he played for New York.
Right.
The guy was a magician at first base.
And the point that I was making was during that period of time, the Yankees infield set the record for the longest period of time without an error.
And when it was over with their one Hall of Famer and the one who should be said it's because of Teshera.
But both Aaron and Gita threw Teshera balls that no other first baseman would have caught.
That would have been errors and would have stopped.
In other words, no errors means number.
I think Soriano was the second baseman who later went to the Cubs.
Yeah, Soriano.
And Soriano's played the outfield, by the way.
Soriano's a very good.
I think for the Cubs, he played center field.
That sounds right.
Yeah, but he was a great second base.
The Yankees probably had, you know, if you put in history the 10 best infields defensively, that infield was magician.
You had the greatest shortstop in the major leagues at third base.
You had one of the greatest shortstops in the major leagues at shortstop.
And you had a superior athlete at second base.
And to share it could be one of the top 10 defensive first baseman ever.
That was quite the team.
I was an effing magician digging the ball out of the dirt.
And because of that, I think Arod and Gina would get lazy.
That's funny.
I don't remember him ever making an error.
I was a catcher, but I began as a first baseman.
I got switched to being a catcher.
And then every time I got injured, which was frequent, I would play first base.
Oh, nice.
And I have a little clip from the Daily News, which we'll have to find, Ted, for tomorrow.
when I played as a middle-aged man first base for my team, the U.S. Attorney's team at Yankee Stadium.
And they said, the U.S. Attorney plays a very classy first base because I scooped a couple out of the dirt.
And I have taught many kids how to play first base because my first Little League coach taught me how to play first base and how to catch.
And he taught me these fundamental lessons.
And I remember them.
I used to follow them all the time.
And I took a lot of kids who didn't know how to play first base and showed them how to do it.
Showed them how you don't commit your foot to a base.
You don't commit your foot to the base until the ball comes to you.
A lot of kids automatically get nervous that they're not going to touch the base.
So they put their foot on the base, right?
Now their body is limited.
Oh, by two-thirds.
You got to put your foot around the base so you can push either foot back.
That allows you to have maximum flexibility to go left, to go right, to come forward, to take your foot off the base if you have to, because it's better.
to catch the ball even if you don't get the guy out so he doesn't go to second base.
Makes sense.
And all the kids I do this with become really good first baseman., I remember growing up late 90s, early 2000s, I always feel like the first baseman was often the least athletic.
Well, yeah, but you've got to think about the damage.
Do you know that Joe Torey got really upset when they traded for Giambia?
Really?
Giambia was going to was going to he was the first baseman.
Yeah, but he wasn't a good first baseman.
He was a great hitter.
He wasn't a good friend.
And Torrey liked to have a team with great first.
But when he got to Shera, he was happy as hell.
He always had a great first base.
They started with Mattingly.
Yeah.
It was like one of the two or three best in baseball.
Yeah.
So think of all the plays the first base aside from the catcher.
The first baseman touches the ball more than anybody else, right?
Besides, yeah.
He's like the catcher at first base.
Yeah, because the ball's going there.
Okay.
Now, if you assume that every throw to him is perfect, fine.
But if you realize that a lot of times the right, the second baseman, the shortstop and the third baseman have to throw under great pressure.
From weird angles.
Yeah, it's understandable why the balls are going to be in the dirt, they're going to be high.
Get it there.
Well, that guy better be good or you're going to give up runs just based on him so he's got to be athletic enough to and high hand eye coordination it's a certain kind of athleticism he doesn't have to be the fastest guy in the world he's got to have great hand eye coordination it is pretty good if he's tall taller yep to reach not necessarily but it's better makes it easier for him and his ability and and intelligence is very very important and awareness right knowing the different players he has to be
a very intelligent baseball player anticipating he has to know where to put it it's not obvious where he should put himself right because it's not going to be judged so so now So now it's obvious for every baseball player where to put themselves.
They do all the study.
They say the second baseman should be behind second base when this guy comes up and the shortstop should be in the gap or vice versa.
Yeah.
And how many times does the poor guy hit it right to them?
I mean, you just see, I mean, three out of four times, you see it all.
Because they know where to stand after they've done their homework on the hitter.
Right.
And the statistics are unreal.
I mean, it's beyond the ability of a lot of people to think.
However, the first baseman doesn't, because there's no way you're going to predict how the ball is going to be thrown at him.
No way to predict that the shortstop is going to throw it right to him or he's going to throw it to his right, to his left, over his head.
Even if he can't catch it, if he's smart enough to make the decision real quick, I can't make this out, but I'll stop him from going a second.
That's very important.
You're right.
And just, yeah, you're right.
I mean, I've watched World Series.
I mean, look at the great World Series with the Mets and the Red Sox.
Red Sox had the World Series won, right?
Yep.
And the first baseman couldn't make the play.
Mets go on the next day to win the World Series.
Have they not kept that guy in?
Who was injured, by the way?
Bucky Dent?
No, no.
Bucky Dent hit the home run.
Oh.
Oh, you're talking about the guy between the legs.
Who was it?
But they hate him in Boston.
Not Bucky Dent.
You hate him.
I'm going to let you get it.
I think it's mean that they hate him in Boston, by the way.
I don't think it was his fault.
I think it was the manager's fault.
We're talking, I think, about the 86.
Bill Buckner.
86.
1986, yeah.
1986, Bill Buckner, a very good player.
One of the reasons that the Red Sox were in the playoffs in the World Series.
But he had an injured ankle or knee.
He literally couldn't bend physically.
And this had occurred either during the playoffs at the end of the season.
It wasn't resolved in time for the playoffs.
And here the Mets are ahead.
I mean, the Dodgers are ahead in the eighth inning.
I mean, the Red Sox are ahead in the eighth inning, I believe.
Is it by three runs?
I think so.
Certainly two runs.
Because I could have it confused with the Chicago situation, that was three runs that I happened to be present for also.
I don't know how I was, but I was.
So a ball was hit to him, the first base, a routine ground ball.
If he makes the play and touches first base, I believe, I don't think they win the World Series immediately, but I think they go get past that inning and they would go into the ninth inning with a two or three run lead.
I think that's right.
The ball gets through his legs, one or two runs score.
The Mets soon score another run and another run and they get past the sixth game and then they win the seventh at Shea Stadium and the Red Sox the curse of the bambino continues until the Red Stars extinguish it in there go Little roller up along first behind the band it gets through Buckner Sorry if you are Red Sox 10.
One more time.
Little roller up along first behind the band.
And 10 minutes before.
It's been a heavy week.
So that is not an unplayable.
I mean, that's a play that a first baseman makes 99 out of 100 times.
Slow ground ball.
The biggest issue was going to be, could he beat him to the base once he caught it?
Two things that caused that.
One, if he were totally healthy.
And that happened, it would have happened because he was being too anxious about catching it to get the first base on time.
Right?
And how often does that happen?
When you can see footballs dropped, baseballs dropped, the person is anticipating.
ahead.
He sees somebody coming out and the tackle, he moves, he misses the ball.
Here, in his anxiety to get to first base, he might not have put himself all the way down.
You got to catch the ball first, Bill, before you go to first.
But I don't think that's it.
Bill couldn't physically bend like that because if you go back in the World Series, you will see in almost every game.
The manager took him out in the seventh, eighth, and ninth innings because he wanted him in for his bat and he wanted him out because he knew his defense was faulty because he was injured, not because he was a bad player.
And the people in Boston have just about given this guy a nervous breakdown, which is why they're not Yankee fans.
We wouldn't do that to our player.
They empathize with him.
They did invite him back.
Boston is tougher than New York.
Do you know that?
Ball players who played both places will tell you.
And I've listened to Boston coverage.
I'm telling you, it isn't just the fans.
It's the sports writers.
Oh, yeah.
They don't give you a break.
They want you gone the minute you make a mistake.
And the radio guys.
No, I mean, they have a great record.
And right now, they're at half a game.ame ahead of the Yankees.
But, uh, and New York is pretty bad.
I'm not saying New York isn't bad and the sports writers aren't bad.
Let them know that he is welcome.
Won't you please welcome him back to Boston and let them know that he is welcome always.
Number six, Bill Buckner.
Well, this is many years later.
This is going to be years of hatred.
Oh yeah, sorry.
I don't want to destroy the narrative here, man.
Yeah, this is years later.
I want to be fair.
Okay, yeah, well, they eventually applauded it.
We need a sports moment, right?
moment right for us to come off and okay and for him it must have been yeah about 30 years later so i thought that i wanted to because i remember that happening and thinking that's nice but you're right and it was against the tigers that's right that's why i remember this they were playing the tigers and uh but you're right it was a little late maybe they probably did some damage after they gave him a nervous breakdown after 20 years of Can you imagine he probably never lived that down?
But I think that I think they all knew the story.
Yeah.
That he was put there under.
Yeah.
And the manager, this is where emotion never can figure into.
The manager put him there because he said, they had given up runs before that, but we're ahead by enough.
He should be on the field when we went.
He was on the field when they lost.
Instead, you got to go with the odds.
And he had been smart enough to do this in every game, take the guy out in the seventh, eighth, and ninth inning.
Because if he makes an error like that in the third inning, he can make up for it.
If he makes it and it's the winning run of the game, there ain't no way you're making up for it it.
Right.
Well, Mayor, we got one more sports story.
I need to get your reaction to this.
We have to go to doctor Maria now.
We do, but we have one more sports story.
I want to get your reaction.
This is making the rounds today on social media.
And we've all probably seen this at games.
What would you do in this situation if you're standing nearby?
What's he doing?
The player here.
The kid.
Yeah.
And this grown man takes it.
Watch here.
There's the hat.
He's giving it to the kid.
Oh, and the man takes it.
The player didn't see it.
Right here.
The player didn't see it, Chad.
Yeah, yeah, but the grown man I know the player did it right.
The player ended up reaching out.
I would think if the player saw it he was in, hey, jerk.
Right, no, the player saw it on social media, reached out, identified the kid, got him a hat.
Oh, that's good.
But this guy, yeah, my yeah, the player, I'm not, I'm not accusing the player of anything wrong.
I'm accusing this grown man.
I I'd like to think even now if I caught a foul ball or got something from a player, I'd give it to the kid next to me.
Do you know that the Chancellor of New York City School System took a ball from my son?
Those are the stories that can win and lose elections.
We were friends and it was funny.
Yeah.
And Andrew had plenty of balls.
Yeah.
Oh, took a ball from your son.
Andrew got the ball.
Oh, he pulled it all.
Damn.
Knowing you, you would have laughed it off, been shocked, but laughed it off and gotten Andrew a ball later.
Kind of laughed it off.
But Andrew had plenty of balls.
Yeah.
I didn't want Andrew to feel entitled.
You know, Andrew, Andrew, for some reason.
He would give it to the lady.
He'd give it to a grown man who grew up in a very entitled environment with cops around him, whatever.
Yeah.
And God, he's the most noisy.
He really is.
I want to give a shout out.
Yeah.
Great guy.
Kind of like Trump.
You know, you figure Trump would be like a really entitled bum.
And he's just the most normal guy.
He's a lot more normal.
Oh my gosh, man.
Yeah.
Just any Democrat.
And yeah, and getting to know him through you.
I can absolutely say about the president, but your son, Andrew.
And Andrew, this isn't, I'm not sucking up to try and get good seats to the soccer games.
But yeah, big shout out to Andrew and the amazing work he's doing.
And what a stand-up gentleman.
I reached out to a mayor back in 2021.
And he didn't know me, so I don't fault him for this, but I wanted to help him in that gubernatorial race.
So I keep remind him when I see him, keep me up to date on what you're going to run for.
Pray for Israel.
Pray for Ukraine.
Pray for Iran.
Pray for us and the president, for sure.
And pray for the people at the Annunciation Church.
And pray longer and harder than usual to make up for the insult.
from the miserable communist politicians who are mocking prayer.
Americans aren't like that, God.
We understand that you're the superior being and we need your help.
And we wouldn't be here for you.
And that there's never a time when there's too much prayer.
There are times when they're too little.
And we're in that period of time now.
And it may be one of the reasons why we've become so immoral, amoral, and actually shocking in the things that we do and say.
And for that, I think many of us ask for your forgiveness.
And we ask for the forgiveness of those who mocked prayer, particularly with so many people suffering who are true believers and do believe in the power of prayer.
Can you imagine how hurtful that was to them?
So we ask for your forgiveness.
And we ask you to forgive the people who did it too, because that's what your son taught us.
I got to give up my anger toward them.
They don't know what they were doing.
Well, a great way, I guess, to end the weekend.
Make sure you go to church.
and pray for the people in Minneapolis who went through this and everybody else who's had to go through this.
And let's hope we can kind of rally around as an intelligent, non-brainwashed society and look at the reasons this happens and see if we can ameliorate them, see if we can soften them.
Even if we can't eliminate this, let's see if we can slow it down.
reduce it whatever and sometimes if you reduce it you end up ending it this is how i did it with crime and i had remarkable results way beyond i mean if i if i had a third or half of those results going in i'd have have been really satisfied, but he made them go further.
Coded?
Where are you going to go?
Lindell TV.
Okay.
God bless America.
It's our purpose to bring to bear the principle of common sense and rational discussion to the issues of our day.
America was created 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.
