America's Mayor Live (770): Hamas Agrees to Open Negotiations Under President Trump's Gaza Plan

Good evening.
This is Rudy Giuliani, and this is America's Mayor Live.
And live from New Hampshire, Dover.
This will be our last broadcast here as we're headed home.
And uh, but we hope to be back.
We love it here.
We've shown you, we've shown you, we'll show you.
Um, we'll show you during the course of the show several uh videos.
Notice we're we're actually in a barn, beautiful barn, but a barn nonetheless.
Ted and I did this ourselves.
We don't have like what are they, you know, experts and did the whole thing ourselves.
You're kind of an expert.
No, you are too.
I mean, you do I you did more of it than I did.
Self-haw.
But I have to, I mean, I can say quite honestly that we both did it.
And and Dr. Maria had an overview and made some very, very good suggestions, having a woman's eye for uh for it.
There, there's Ted.
Uh when we have Stephen or Rob, they'll be sitting right next right next to him.
Uh when we have Dr. Maria, she'll sometimes sit there or she'll sometimes sit here and be a co-host.
And it's it's a great location.
And right outside is uh the stairway upstairs to my apartment.
Ted's apartment is right over there, right near here, right?
Over there.
And in back of us is a gigantic field leading to the Great Bay that we had a nice uh uh outing on uh yesterday, and I uh and uh showed you some of the some of the photos.
Uh well I would say the the the puzzle for tonight is how do you how do you interpret the Hamas agreement to give back the hostages,
and if you read uh carefully, and I may I uh let's see if if if this is uh uh doable from the point of view of the screen here.
Yeah, I'm gonna bring open it up on the screen as we can.
See if you can put it up on the screen.
Okay.
Well, I'm I'm actually what I'm gonna try to do here.
What I'm gonna try to do is go down is go down to the important language here, because there is a lot of you know, gobbledygook in here, and as there always is, uh, out of this and out of that, and uh some little shots at Israel and genocide and um if you get down to uh where it says within this framework,
and in a manner that achieves an end to the war and a full withdrawal from the strip, the movement announces its approval of releasing all occupation prisoners, both living and remains, according to the exchange formula contained in President Trump's proposal.
Well, that would be that would be 72 hours from the time that Israel agrees, or Israel science, if I recall correctly.
So that's the timing of it, which makes it somewhat.
It puts a couple of roadblocks in the way of just exactly how it's gonna happen, which we'll explain in a minute in a minute, with the necessary field conditions for implementing the exchange.
That also introduces ambiguity that could allow you to delay or withdraw.
In this context, the movement affirms its readiness not to sign the Agreement to immediately enter through the mediators into negotiations to discuss the details.
And that's where the devil is in the details.
And therefore, this cannot be considered an agreement to the proposal.
This is an agreement to negotiate the proposal.
Once again, they introduce a major change.
The movement also reaffirms its approval to hand over the administration concept to a Palestinian body of independence based on a Palestinian national consensus and supported by Arab and Islamic backing.
Is that what the Trump agreement said?
Or did it say a committee of independence headed by him?
So Rudy's opinion, they're delaying.
They're delaying.
I don't know what they hope will change.
Maybe more of them can escape.
Maybe more of them can get their money out of the bank accounts they're in, uh the hidden bank accounts they're in.
I think they've been chased out of Qatar.
They probably have a backup plan, good paying money, some Islamic dictator or whatever.
But they're not ready to agree.
They're ready to negotiate.
I hope we don't give them more time.
Thank you.
We've done that before.
All it's done is lead to further death.
There's a time in which you got to call an end to the bullshit when people are dying.
This is it.
The response should be either sign that either sign the damn thing or uh get I mean get ready to get ready to go see if they really are 72 virgins.
And you and you got 24 hours to decide.
Here's the agreement, put your signature on it, and deliver the hostages over.
It's time that we stop being nice to a homicidal, insane group that is dedicated to the destruction of the Jewish people in the United States of America.
Is that clear enough?
Ukraine, I don't know if the same thing would apply there, but we'll get to Ukraine in a little while.
But I think there are some positive developments with regard to Ukraine.
So let's let's wait on, which I think we'll find out tonight or tomorrow, just exactly how this is interpreted.
Um but I I hope we don't add uh to it uh things that are not there.
What is not there is an uh an agreement to sign the Trump proposal.
It's an agreement to negotiate it.
And then as it restates some of the things that have to be done, it's entirely different.
There is no point in uh fooling ourselves about it.
Again, if we do, people will die.
The shutdown, we'll know nothing about over the weekend.
I doubt it.
Uh the House is out of session for next week.
Uh their home uh taking care of their constituents, which after all is smart, because there's nothing they can uh uh change or do in Washington until the Senate uh uh decides to vote on the resolution that uh in all likelihood would then come back to the House,
or if they sign it as is it becomes law and the government's reopen.
If they change it, has to go back to the House, because then it's a new uh bill.
And a revenue bill has, and this is surely a revenue bill, right?
A revenue bill has to, by by the con by the constitutional uh provision, be uh originated in the House.
And he and he will bring them back on a moment's notice, or you know, a day, if there's any chance that the Senate is going to do anything other than they did today, which is to vote 54, 44 uh in favor, but they have to have 60.
So there's now six uh uh I really believe it's still 55, because both have been reduced by one.
I don't know that the uh two senators had to have paired off.
A Republican in favor and a Democrat against.
So I think it's still 55, 45 with one Republican on their side, who will be on our side if we can get to 58 or 59.
So I think we're at 56.
We got to pick up four more senators, and they can't be a Republican because with 56, we'd have every Republican.
So we gotta pick up four Democrats.
There are easily four Democrats that if Schumer would take his uh uh greedy pause off them and traitorous pause off him, traitor to the uh Jewish people, uh they would uh they would vote for it and this country could start you know functioning normally again.
Although, query, it does this really make any difference, and doesn't it show that the government is vastly overpopulated with people?
And is this in some ways better that Trump and vote uh get a chance to uh pare down the government without anybody interfering since they'll be out of session, and if they want to straighten it out, they're gonna have to do it after the fact.
And um, the court's been pretty darn good on the president's uh right to administer.
Um the only one in which they've caved on, and they said they wouldn't advance pretty much is the Fed.
Um the weekend will be waiting on Hamas.
And there was an article uh in the post.
I don't I don't know, I think it's on the online edition yesterday, where the military chief, the guy who's in charge of Hamas on the ground, has bitterly opposed the agreement with some very, very strong uh objections.
That's is Al-Din al-Haddad, who was one of the major uh uh planners for and participants in the October 7, 2023 barbaric attack on Jewish uh civilians, uh American and uh Israeli.
Uh and is uh in some ways, it's hard to tell who runs the damn organization because the Israelis have you know knocked off their leader two or three times, and then they put somebody else up.
So I would think, and I would look uh carefully to the opinion of the guy in control of the troops.
In a situation like this, uh, they have always historically turned out to be much more powerful than like in a democracy that has uh you know civilian uh leadership.
Uh the attack in uh in London was despicable, but it's a lot more than despicable.
What it really was was uh uh a clear warning that many parts of uh Western Europe from which many of us ultimately came, is being overwhelmed with Jewish hatred, anti-Semitism, which of course created uh one of the worst uh humanitarian crises in the history of the world uh in the last century.
And uh there's no reason to believe it isn't gonna go in that direction again.
This time maybe even worse, since the group taking over has what a 1400-year history of wanting to eliminate the Jewish people.
I'm talking about the Islamics.
Um it's always been a conundrum of history as to why uh it happened in Germany, because it was often thought that Germany was one of the least anti-Semitic European countries.
Whew.
I don't know if that was a correct uh interpretation.
Um I think there was something to it, and I think there's also something to the fact that Hitler was a uh uh it's hard to see any anything that would be remotely positive about Hitler, although I don't consider this positive.
You can say someone is brilliant and evil.
Satan is brilliant and evil.
They're not inconsistent with each other.
Being brilliant is not a sign of goodness.
It can be used for good or bad.
Uh and I wouldn't say that Hitler was brilliant.
He was extremely effectively conniving.
And uh he did an enormously effective job of scapegoating the Jewish people for the problems of Germany, which came really from uh the uh the end of the war and the treaty that ended World War One, and it came from from within his own country, and the corruption within his own country.
Uh the the idea that the Jewish people controlled German economy because they were a somewhat bigger participant in that than other European economies, is of course as ridiculous as the idea that they control Wall Street or uh the Jews control all the money or all this other stuff, which is it's beyond sick.
It indicates uh uh um you know how uh someone is mentally ill, a person is mentally ill.
It indicates that a civilization is mentally ill.
And one of those mental illnesses, anti-Semitism.
Uh and it it it uh overwhelms even racism.
When you consider how far back it goes and how prevalent it is, and how ultimately violent it can become.
And it has something to do and was accelerated uh somewhat by the blame for the death of Jesus, but it existed for a thousand years before that.
So uh yeah, it was accelerated or or given extra momentum really by the by the by the blame for the death of of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, but then really taken to a new level by Muhammad.
Uh the their their um their hatred of Christianity is equal, but the uh but focusing on um Jews is easier because they're a smaller group of people.
And then, of course, when uh someone came along that wanted to exterminate the Jewish people, which uh traditional uh Muslims want to do, uh they became the they I mean, please realize that uh these countries in the Middle East were allied with with Hitler, the grand Musti of Palestine was a very close friend of Adolf Hitler.
So let's I believe that we're being strung along by Hamas.
And I think that uh we got we gotta call an end to both that and Putin.
And I think they feed on each other as as Hamas is uh there being no movement, just talk on Putin.
Uh they become bolder.
Now I think they're somewhat wrong, and I'll have a chance to explain that.
We're going to take a break, but I'll have a chance to explain that to you very, very shortly.
Thank you.
Shall we take our break?

This is what goes into Rudy's coffee.
Welcome back to America's Mayor Live.
Well, last night was a great night for New Yorkers and for all those fans worldwide of the greatest franchise in sports history, the New York Yankees.
Would you like to debate that with me?
Show me 27 world championships and he plays else.
Yes, yes, yes.
It's been a while, but it still belongs to that one franchise.
And it isn't that they haven't been competitive for it in each of those years, or almost all of those years.
I mean, after all, uh, they're going into the second round again.
Um, and it could be 28th this year.
And I do think the Yankees, in some ways, spoil their fans, including me.
Particularly me.
And then very strangely, my son with a kind of repetition of it.
What I mean by that is I grew up in Brooklyn, my father was a Yankee fan.
He made me a Yankee fan.
See, that's why I like these stripes like this.
It just makes me feel at home because my father took me home in a Yankee uniform.
I took my son home in a Yankee uniform.
I brainwashed him.
I mean, the way the communists uh do and the Islamics do.
I brainwashed him, but I brainwashed him about a baseball team, not killing people.
I don't think I could have.
I don't think I could have you know been able to face my my father uh up there if I hadn't made him a Yankee, if I hadn't made my son a Yankee fan.
My father wouldn't talk to me in heaven.
Hopefully we'll both be there at some point.
But uh it it um it was a great victory, just a great victory from a young pitcher throwing for the first time, throwing for the first time in a in a in a playoff, maybe the sixth or seventh time in the major leagues against his his the team of his it would be my pit like my or Andrew pitching against the Yankees.
I mean, obviously, if I was making if they pay me 12 million dollars, I'd probably do it.
I don't know.
At this point in my life, I might not.
Of course, I could leave it in my children, I guess.
I would have to do it for my children.
Um so let me uh uh let me just finish up on the on the uh agreement to agree.
As lawyers, we uh we often um uh as we're doing negotiations, we often look very, very carefully to whether we have an agreement or an agreement to agree.
Agreement uh to agree is a lawyer's trick to try to continue the negotiations to get more of their side out of you.
That's what this is.
This is an agreement, not even an agreement to agree, it's an agreement to negotiate.
It isn't saying, you know, we're gonna agree, but in the future.
I mean, that really is usually a hidden agreement to negotiate.
Here they're quite specific about it, which I I find surprising that uh the White House has painted it as uh we now have a deal.
We we don't have a deal.
We have if the deal is to negotiate, we have a deal.
If the deal is to end the war, we don't have that deal.
Uh uh, we have an overall intent uh expressed that way, and then several poison pills of conditions like uh uh the overseers of Palestine have to be Palestinian.
Whoa, that's completely different than the plan.
So I don't know.
I mean, there are several things that can happen from here.
One, we could try to paper it over.
I don't think Israel will let us do that.
If they do, Bibi will be gone.
The uh uh the Israeli people are not gonna paper this over.
They can't.
Their lives are at stake.
They can't let Hamas in any way come back.
It'll be worse.
Hamas will try to get even then for what happened now.
Uh the second is you should say enough's enough.
You've screwed around with us too too much.
Um we would lose some of the precious Arab people, but they'll come back.
I mean, they're all they're interested in is money.
They're over the the religious part of hating Jews.
And uh in fact, I think a lot of them want to want to do business with Israel.
Oh, they'll yell and scream and go crazy if uh if the president says I construe this as turning down my uh uh my offer.
My offer was here's the deal, sign it.
And you're telling me you want to negotiate.
I don't want to negotiate.
This is the deal.
Mr. President, if you do that, it's gonna make getting what you want in Ukraine easier.
The two the two of them being able to uh delay now uh uh based on uh bullshit enforces them in continuing to do it.
And the only thing it is uh assisting is not getting a deal, it's getting people killed, particularly in Ukraine.
I mean, all of this delay, yeah.
A lot of Ukrainians, civilians have been killed.
So it's it's time to impose a deadline and and uh enforce it, and it should be real quick, like the weekend.
And and mayor, what what do you suggest we do if they continue.
So when we say hold them accountable, agree to the deal, set a deadline.
If they don't meet that deadline.
What what is a potential response from us and Israel?
I would take a page from Putin's book.
I would say, well, that's great.
Uh we'll negotiate.
But meanwhile, the war continues.
So Bibi, go do what you want.
Yeah.
And when we when they when they sign, we stop.
But while they want to talk, yeah, you can talk.
But we're gonna continue to try to destroy all of you until you agree.
Because it's a tough job destroying all of you.
And we we want and we're gonna have to do that if you don't agree.
So we're not taking any time out of it so you can re-arm.
What are we stupid?
So I would send them a letter back.
Well, thank you very, very much for wanting to negotiate.
We we uh appreciate that, and you can start negotiating on Monday.
Uh, but obviously uh this is not a ceasefire.
Uh and I've told uh Prime Minister Netanyahu to do to do what he wants.
I fully support him.
Right.
Uh you'll be hearing from him.
That's what I would do.
And then I would spend the weekend destroying every place where I thought Hamas was located.
They have to be bludgeoned, bludgeoned, bludgeoned into agreement, or unconditionally defeated the way the Nazis were.
This is not a country that we're fighting.
This is a terrorist group.
In the case of Hitler, it really, yeah, sure, they were the Germans, but it was a Nazi movement that we had to wipe out.
Very similar here.
Um Ukraine, the you the you the Ukraine is um Ukraine is in an interesting transition at this point, and we have to see how it's gonna uh play uh play out.
Um the the president seems to have given Ukraine uh considerably more leeway in their ability to fight back against Russia.
And um if that means that they can use the Tomahawk missiles that they're getting and that they're gonna be getting many more of uh in their own discretion to bomb Russia in return for Russia bombing them.
I do believe we can get an end to this war.
I think the strategy, as we've outlined over a period of time, has to be to hit Russia in Russia.
Uh it takes there's a little risk, right?
And of course, the risk is not a little risk, it's a big risk because they have nuclear weapons.
But we can't let Russia control the world because it has nuclear weapons, just the opposite.
We got to take that leverage away from them, and it and it is not gonna be done without some risk.
I think the risk is minimal.
So I and uh and I think uh the risk of letting Russia continue is much greater that they and China will achieve their objective.
So I I'd step back if I were the president, and I would say, I'm glad that you agree to negotiate.
I did think you were ready to agree, in which case we could do a ceasefire, but you you're not agreeing.
So uh excuse me, but the war continues.
I'm out of it.
But I I certainly am not blaming uh Prime Minister Netanyahu for whatever he does, because you haven't given me the capability of really doing a ceasefire by agreeing to the terms that we laid out.
I I am sufficiently uh uh I am capable of distinguishing between agreeing and negotiating and agreeing to the agreement and agreeing to negotiate in the in the Ukraine, I would I would let I do essentially the same thing.
I'd I'd um well we can step back and say we're not doing anything, we're just telling uh we're just uh uh telling Zelensky, yeah, it's fair.
If uh here here you are telling us you want peace, and you're bombing the shit out of Ukraine civilians.
You're not even uh uh you know concentrating your efforts on trying to get that extra 25 uh percent of dones, uh, which we would oppose but would understand.
You're killing civilians.
Well, the other day they attacked like six different Ukrainian cities and bomb them.
It's unheard of that you can bomb my country and I can't bomb you back.
Uh so uh since and uh uh the president can say I uh as long as I thought there was a chance and a reasonably good chance that Putin was gonna act like a like a reasonable human being.
I I kind of held off, but there's no chance of that now.
So Ukraine's gotta defend itself.
Here, here uh Europe, here are the weapons.
You want to give them to Ukraine, fine.
Ukraine wants to use them to hit uh Russia and take out its oil facilities.
Hey, I'm not doing it.
Um Ukrainians have visited with the uh US in the last several days.
Uh number one to deliver to us a lot of their advanced study on the use of drones and help to us because uh out of necessity, Ukraine became uh the center of the military use of drones.
Uh China, I mean it's very hard like to buy a drone that isn't Chinese.
I I attempted that a while back.
I I just am deathly afraid of having a Chinese made drone in my house or in my possession.
Yeah.
Uh now I am assured that you know they they're really American companies and they're really sorry.
I uh the drone is just a little over over the line.
Just seeing it and knowing it came from China, I think it's smiling on me.
So uh yeah, I can get an American drone.
Cost about 10,000.
The Chinese drone costs about 500.
Uh the good news is kind of like in the second world war, Ukraine has quickly jumped to well, they're number one with military drones, which has got to mean their drone technology is pretty much equal to China.
So maybe with them we can put inexpensive Ukrainian American drones on the market, and I can buy one in Tedcat.
And we can have one like Stephen does.
Yeah, uh, yeah.
We notice I didn't let him bring it in.
Right.
I think it's Chinese.
It looks Chinese.
Yeah, we kept that thing at a safe distance.
Yeah, you stay out there.
I'm not gonna let you take pictures of my house.
No freaking red Chinese.
We're not having that anywhere near Mar Lago.
Gotta keep that thing away from our lago, Stephen.
Oh, yeah.
They don't allow you to use drones in Palm Beach anymore.
Yeah.
And they better not.
I'll go shoot them down.
If we see one, we'll shoot it down.
Yeah, maybe maybe we can be volunteers.
Volunteer protection service.
Volunteer protective unit.
Rudy and Ted.
Yeah.
And we got a lot of people that would Palm Beach, we got a whole crew down there.
So the Ukrainians are also laying out a beautiful plan that I think Trump should love.
He probably knows it.
Umkraine is, of course, rich in natural resources.
Ukraine also has an enormously uh uh big uh uh uh capacity for the storage of oil and natural gas.
And a lot of this goes back even to Soviet days that were built by the Russians.
Um what what they could do is they could uh be the go-betweens in R, America, helping the European countries that we are demanding cut off the purchase of oil, natural gas, whatever from Russia.
It could be supplied by the pipelines in Ukraine, shipped there by the United States, because we have available, if not immediately within months, more than enough.
We've got more natural gas than Russia.
We may have more natural gas than in the Middle East.
If not, we're very close.
We have more than enough to take us through eight or ten years of substituting for Russia.
We also have enough oil to do that.
So if we're dealing with Hungary, let's say, and uh his good friend, and uh I consider him a good friend, Victor Orban.
If we're dealing with Victor, who would have a difficult time with his people because they have a good relationship with Russia and they buy oil from Russia and they get a good deal.
But I would impose on my friendship with Victor and say, Victor, uh, we'll give you as good a deal with Ukraine.
You just get it from the Ukrainian pipeline, it's even closer.
And you'd be helping me, because it's our oil, or natural gas.
And just cut Putin out until he gets reasonable.
I think Victor would agree, particularly if we solve this problem.
This was a very creative uh uh suggestion by Ukraine, to which I give them a great deal of credit.
Finally, what would what would extend that strategy even better?
Is if they are gonna hit inside Russia, which they should, and they have somewhat, but not deep.
So focus on the oil and natural gas facilities.
If you put these sanctions in place, if you put the secondary sanctions in place, and you bomb their damn facilities, not gonna be very long before they don't have a thimble of oil to sell.
Now remember, they're a one product economy, energy.
Cut it off and you starve them.
You starve them, Mr. President.
Putin will agree with you, or it'll be somebody else that agrees with you, because they'll get rid of the bum.
I don't have to talk about him carefully.
I've met him.
I made a conclusion about him standing at ground zero, that he was a cold cold, uh uh a cold uh stone killer.
I I didn't see in his eyes um the same empathy for the dead that I did in everyone else that came there just about, including some of the Arab uh leaders.
Where death is irrelevant.
I mean, it's which is the way he's operating now, including with his own people.
I mean, there the casualties of the Russian army are absurd because they treat their troops like animals.
They have many more casualties in Ukraine, even now.
I mean, they just use them as uh they they use their army the way Hamas uses children, and then blames Israel.
So I really think there's a uh uh uh very, very uh very, very um comprehensive strategy that could be put in place very, very quickly, that would that um would change the stalemate in Ukraine.
And I do think we've we've changed the negotiating posture in Ukraine brilliantly.
I think the president has.
And now it's time to act on it.
And acting on it means give Ukraine a chance uh to diminish them as an oil uh producing country.
Combined with uh increasing the sanctions, which we're doing, we're doing it slowly, but we're doing it.
Uh they have to be feeling it more now than they were a month ago, particularly with India being hit.
I don't know, and I I I'm trying to find out what's happening with China, because I have a hunch that China doesn't want to be the only one buying Russian oil.
But just in case they are, if we allow Ukraine or we don't allow, but uh we don't interfere with Zelensky, doing the best he can to take him out as an oil producing country.
They're gonna win this war.
Russia can't sustain that.
And then Putin Putin has uh too too many mouths to feed, and those mouths will start eating him because they're not eaten.
Happened once before, not too long ago.
Russian people are not maniacs.
They got common sense and they like to live.
Maybe we should cut off their vodka.
That'd do it.
Oh, that would end.
Um the tariff, the tariffs are um producing unexpected amounts of wealth for the American government.
And um one is raising the well, let me tell you what the plan is.
The plan uh with the president and with um the treasury department and with OMB and is to put the vast majority of it of the of the of the money that we make into debt reduction, so it has a permanent impact and we don't piss it away the way we Democrats have done with uh three quarters of our revenues.
But he got another idea, wants to do a rebate.
I think that's great.
And I uh you can say it's political.
Well, well, the president is political.
Every president's political, he doesn't have any power if he doesn't prevail politically.
So I would support a rebate if that helps them keep control of the House and Senate, and particularly since the Democrats have announced their intention of basically freezing the government for two full years if they should get uh get the house back by doing the same thing they did last time.
Uh Swalwell has already said that.
Oh well.
Maybe he'll get Fang Fang Fang to get Fang Fang back to help him.
Where's Fang?
He doesn't look as good since Fang Fang left.
No, he gets he gets beat up every day for that.
He doesn't look good.
He's not getting he's not getting something he was getting, but she got a lot for it too.
She probably got all of our secrets.
Since, stupidly, we had him on intelligence committees, and there he is, you know, with the red Chinese.
So, I would...
I would, I would also, but here you here see here you might screw yourself by bringing Congress into it, and the price of it might be having to pay for some of the Democrat crooked programs.
I'd love, I'd love it if the president could just pull a good deal of it and get our defense spending up to about 5% of GDP.
Because at some point we're gonna have to do that if we want to if we want to stay even with China.
And it's the some point has already passed.
And I understand that it isn't there.
But this makes a big difference.
Now it is true if you do it in debt reduction, in a way you could leave more room because we're paying debt service.
So you put it into debt reduction, you're gonna pay less debt service, and that money could be moved over to defense without costing the taxpayers any money.
So this is a very positive thing.
And for all the complaining about tariffs, I would think that the uh complainers who have completely distorted this picture would at least uh credit the president with creating this surplus at a at a very, very uh uh necessary time.
Uh we tried to reach and haven't been successful in getting Nick.
Not yet.
I'm calling him.
Nick is a good friend of ours.
Nick Sorter is a good friend of ours.
We we were with him on his first day of reporting, right?
And uh East Palestinian uh Ohio.
That's when he just started, and now he's he he he got arrested in Portland for reporting.
And the video is clear as hell.
I think Antifa runs the DA's office in Portland.
And it was it was uh described as a targeted arrest.
Right.
Portland I'm looking for the Portland is like a communist state within the United States.
You're not in the United States when you are in Portland, Oregon.
The governor allows it, Antifa controls it.
The police go along with it.
Oh man, Nick's our guy right here.
Nick Nick knows what he's doing.
Watch this, man.
This is Nick.
This isn't him getting arrested, but this is him.
I wish I was there with him.
Uh, this is him saving an American flag that was being burned.
Oh, obviously, we want Nick to be careful.
Guys got bullshit.
He got a tensor.
He got a tensor credit on you.
Oh my god.
That's Nick.
He's putting it on the ground, and he's making it worse.
Hey, do it, motherfucker.
Now he's standing on it.
Not supposed to stand on it.
They're burning a flag.
Nick takes it right from them.
He got a tensor.
He got a tensor credit on here.
Oh my god.
He's putting it on the ground and he's making it worse.
Now he's standing on it.
Fire.
Are we standing on it?
you That would be what we would do.
They really are communist pigs.
Antifa.
And I'm gonna tell you in the fullness of time, you will find out that they were the instrument by which uh Nancy Pelosi and her scum orchestrated uh January 6 to put all the blame on uh uh you know, tr uh allegedly Trump people.
There are over 200 Antifa people in the Capitol, none of whom the FBI has identified, at least not then, maybe now uh that's not me.
That's a text that I put out three days after September uh September 11, uh January 6.
So Nick Sorter was arrested, held, is out on bail, and we'll try to get Nick on uh uh on Monday.
We'll be uh we don't know where he is he is right now.
Maybe he's on the lamb.
I don't know.
Do you know what on the lamb means?
That's an old term.
Yeah, you know what it means?
On the run.
Yeah, why does it running from the police, really?
Right?
Well, why was it why is it do you know the origins of well because the Portland police sound like they're part of the of the of the of the uh Antifa movement?
Right.
They uh they had word that they had come there with uh um targeted arrests, and he was one of the targeted arrests.
Antifa put the complaint in on him and get him off on get get him off our bags because nobody knows that for a hundred days we have been storming the ice building, destroying it, throwing things at people, and nobody's no nobody reports it because they're all on our side.
Now this guy comes along, everybody's gonna find out, and they'll have pictures.
He's done it to us before.
Get him out of here.
They want to, I mean They have virtually controlled Portland, Oregon, since they took it over during the orchestrated Floyd Democrat riots and made it into an independent city.
It's called secession, pals.
We fought a civil war over that.
And I would say the president would be perfectly justified sending the National Guard to take Portland back as a part of the United States of America.
And we might want to do it for practice, but we're going to face this problem like Europe is if we don't get better control over the Islamic extremists.
They're going to start a much bigger movement for Sharia law.
I think we're four or five years behind England, France, and Germany, but they're there already with counties and certain areas that have conceded to Sharia law.
Where are we in Michigan?
You would know that, Ted.
That's where it would happen if it happened soon.
Yeah, uh Dearborn.
Yeah, but but there still is an American legal system in so.
Well, between Sharia Law and then we have a uh Jocelyn Benson, our Secretary of State.
I mean, there's all sorts of Secretary of what?
Secretary of State.
In Dearmore.
No, no, I mean, I'm just making it wide Dearborn and that they have such outsized influence.
The Democrat Party in Michigan is cowtowers to them.
Maybe we should do maybe we should ask Steven to do a little investigating in Dearborn.
Yeah, absolutely.
How similar or not is it to Portland?
Oh, okay.
Well, yeah, it's I would say it's different.
I know I know there have been outcries in the Islamic uh communities in Michigan for them to be subjected only to Sharia law.
Right.
I what I'm wondering is, has it succeeded anywhere the way it has in Oregon?
I that's what you're saying.
Um yeah, I don't think we're now Sharia law hasn't uh I should clarify that, as it has in Oregon with with basically Portland being you could call it lawless or under the dominion of Antifa.
It seems to me that Antifa boss is around the police department.
Yeah.
Yeah, and we had you know, we had a strong police chief in Detroit for years, Chief James Craig, who who we know.
But yeah, we we have some real problems.
However, hopefully, you know, we're a Midwest state, Oregon being on the left coast.
Hopefully, cooler has prevailed.
I mean, I'm gonna put it on, I'm gonna put it on my agenda.
So uh on Monday, Monday's a big night.
I am going to uh no matter what, no matter who wants to talk to me, except maybe the president, uh no matter who wants me to delay or whatever, I'm gonna I'm going to get involved in the mayor's election, and I'll tell you who and how and why.
Um let me bring up the date on it.
I mean, so that you can um Mondani uh yesterday or uh into today has made it clear that he's gonna do away with the gifted uh uh uh uh students' programs in uh New York,
which means that extra achieving uh children uh uh are in special schools that keep up with their uh both uh brilliance and their industry, their their uh desire to study and uh their desire to become uh to develop their mind into a great mind.
New York led the country in gifted public schools.
I went to Catholic schools in uh in uh New York that were excellent.
The school that I went to was a scholarship school, Bishop Lochland High School.
Everybody in it were the top one, two or three uh kids from their parish.
But uh we were very good school, but we weren't better than Brock's High School of Science or the four or five, I mean there were about ten of them then.
We were as good.
We certainly were better in sports.
Uh but and then the public schools, the regular public schools were competitive.
Some were bad, some were good, some were good, none are good now.
And though and um de Blasio never could achieve doing away with them.
At the very end, he did.
And Adams, to his credit, restored them as soon as he came into office.
Now Mondani has said he's gonna do away with them as soon as he takes over, and there's nobody to stop him.
The city council is as left-wing and crazy as he is.
I know it's not elected yet, but it will be.
I mean, this is a city council that voted for non-citizens to vote three years ago, even though the New York Constitution says you have to be a citizen to vote.
That's downright, I mean, that's blatantly unconstitutional.
He, by the way, Mondani, is a rich little shithead.
He went to a $66,000 a year school all throughout grammar and high school, the bank school.
Left as hell, by the way.
Not much of an education, but just pay a lot of money for it.
I don't know what you learn in these uh woke schools, but this the bank school is as woke as woke gets.
Um, they probably come out as people who could list the 57 genders, but not the Ten Commandments.
They might not even know that there was a Moses.
Uh could we play quickly?
Andrew Cuomo's uh commercial, because to the extent that I'm weighing him, and there are people uh putting a lot of pressure on I'm not gonna say pressure, you can't pressure me.
There's nothing I want you're gonna get.
But I mean making very strong arguments.
Uh I'm gonna send them this ad.
It's not definitive, but it's sure it's a balance in the scale.
I mean, he makes I don't know who's running this campaign, makes him look like a little jackass.
How to make government work.
I'll hire 5,000 new cops to partner with local community groups and keep our families safe, and we'll get the homeless off the streets and into the help they desperately need.
There are a lot of jobs I can't do, but I'm ready to be your mayor on day one.
Let's watch from the beginning.
And I could pretend to do a lot of jobs, but I know what I know, and I know what I don't know.
And I do know how to make government work.
I'll hire 5,000 new cops, the public local community groups, and keep our notice, he's not gonna undo the tremendous damage he did.
What he should say is I'll take the seven to ten thousand people walking to the streets of the city of New York who are killers, murderers, rapists, and cra and other uh uh uh miscreants, and I'll put them back in jail because I made a mistake in signing that bill.
He could say I'll treat uh uh 15, 16, 17-year-old, you know, who kills five people as an adult.
And I I didn't.
I'm gonna reverse my parole law, my my change in parole that has released over 50 cop killers.
Unfortunately, I can't put the the top on the can any longer, but I can stop it from going forward, and I really apologize for releasing those cop killers.
That's what he should do.
The only reason to consider him at all is because Mondani is worse.
But if what what he has shown in the past is if the pressure is applied, he'll do anything to remain popular.
And he did.
Uh and he's not taking responsibility for it.
There are arguments as to why you wouldn't at this point.
They have to be weighed.
But uh the other thing that has to be weighed is if you have a chance with commercials like that, he's not gonna win.
People get people are laughing at that.
Him in the subway, uh there, here, there.
You can only get a certain number of messages across with a political commercial.
If the message he wanted to get across is he's the Law and Order candidate.
The thing that dominates the commercials are the silly AI renditions of him doing stupid things that he doesn't do.
They're not stupid for other people, they're stupid for him.
You got to say to yourself, Mondani is ahead by 12, 15 points, and this is going to win an election, an AI silly commercial.
And by the way, 5,000 cops isn't even close enough.
They're almost 10,000 below what I have.
Who's he following?
So I got to look at the rest of his commercials and positions, which I will do this weekend, and I will listen with an open mind to the people trying to persuade me.
it's it's it's quite unfortunate that New York is in this position Instead of saying, oh my God, who can you know who can save us from this guy?
We should be looking for the best possible person for mayor.
But we're not.
We're not.
We're looking for getting saved from uh hell.
And as one columnist um uh I think Douglas Murray pointed out today, uh people are saying um uh that maybe maybe it's good for Republicans that Mondani wins because it'll help us win elsewhere.
Um he says, be careful uh what you wish for.
Because uh and this is true, and and Douglas is correct here, and you can get it from the mouth of an expert, the guy who ran New York.
You could do permanent damage with four years.
Uh you could do permanent damage, and um what's to say he doesn't get re-elected?
I mean, De Blasio did.
I mean, Adams had to work at not getting re-elected.
Please remember that Wikipedia is a completely left-wing phony operation.
It's a joke.
They ban the New York Post, the Federalist, the Daily Caller, Newsmax, Fox.
They're authoritative uh publications that they use are CNN, the New York Times, NPR, and Politico.
And probably if Pravda was around, Pravda.
I used to use them, and they are so left-wing biased, it's like reading something from Red China.
Please don't support them.
They're always begging for money.
I don't, I doubt they get federal money, it should be taken away from him.
But don't give him your money, and don't give him your patronage.
You can find it, you you can go to um you you can go to uh the encyclopedias that are online to get the information, much better.
You can go to BBC to get the information.
You don't have to go to Wikipedia.
Um and you're constantly at risk of getting the wrong information.
I don't think there's a single entry that they have that isn't biased left wing.
They really are massive left-wing communist providers of propaganda.
So please go over to please go over.
Lindell TV, Lyndell TV, listen to Dr. Maria.
She's gonna have an interview with Curtis Slewa, who is the other alternative to the AI candidate, uh Cuomo, and um and the communist.
And on Monday, we'll be ready and um do the best we can to try to save our city of my lifetime.
Congratulations to the New York Yankees.
Thank you very much for giving us another week of baseball, those of us who love you, and um pray that we get a solution, which means pray for the people of Ukraine, pray for the people of Israel, pray for the people of Iran, pray for the people of the United States, pray for our great president to continue to have the strength and health, keep him safe.
It's a dangerous, dangerous world, much more than it used to be.
And we thank you, God, for what you gave us.
And we will take our responsibilities seriously.
See you on Monday.
Maybe over the weekend.
We'll see, if necessary.
Probably hope it isn't.
Last night here.
For now.
So go over to Lindell.
God bless America.
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.
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.
