	Good evening.
	This is Rudy Giuliani, and this is America's Mayor Live.
	And we are live from Palm Beach.
	Now in back of me, you see New York City.
	There's a reason for that.
	The reason for that is that there's a very, very important debate going on in New York City as we speak between the three uh uh candidates for mayor of New York City.
	Uh the Democrat Socialist candidate, uh Zo Ron Mondani, uh, the Republican candidate Curtis Sleewe, and the independent candidate and former governor, Andrew Cuomo.
	And uh they're one hour into it.
	And the reason it's such an important debate, and I mean there have been many, many mayoral debates, but the reason this is so important is, and I will I will not exaggerate this one bit.
	Uh the the outcome of this election uh will determine whether New York City remains uh not only the the greatest city in the world, but even a decent city, uh, or becomes an example of uh communist uh socialist pro-criminal uh behavior.
	Uh I don't know how he answered the question about prostitution.
	Um he is now offering free buses for people.
	And Cuomo, who I'm trying to read his lips, I think is trying to explain why that that would be that would be impossible given the fact that the city is in in fact technically bankrupt.
	Um, not just technically bankrupt, it is bankrupt, and he wants to add, you know, anywhere from 10 to 20 billion more to that.
	Um instead of taking a look at what the city's doing wrong.
	I mean, the city of New York has a budget that is uh the same as the budget of the state of Florida, where I am sitting right now, and the state of Florida has 21, 22 million people, the city has 8.4 million people.
	So you explain to me how they need all that money.
	They don't have like three, four times better services in New York.
	Uh the reality is because the Democrat Party, whenever it's been in control of New York, has been crooked.
	I I have a hard time finding a mayoralty in the last hundred and fifty years of a Democrat that wasn't crooked.
	This is where Tammany Hall came from.
	I mean, I I can say they were great authorities since I put a lot of them in jail.
	Um Dami takes it now from that to communism, socialism, and and and virile hatred of the Jewish people.
	to the point where he is avowed to arrest Bibi Netanyahu if he comes to New York, which is, of course, ridiculous.
	So I don't know.
	We have the slowest more expensive bus service possible.
	I I have no I have no idea what kind of bull he's giving the people.
	But how how I mean the city can't afford what it's doing right now.
	How the hell is it going to afford free buses?
	Uh uh uh universal child care.
	There's a reason for that, you know.
	You can find it in Karl Marx.
	They want control of your children.
	He also is a uh he also is a complete uh tool of the teachers union, which was founded by communists and is communist, because he is now in favor of reducing the size of classes.
	Well, that sounds really good, doesn't it?
	Reducing the size of classes.
	Do you know as we've reduced the size of classes?
	Our educational outcomes have gotten worse and worse and worse and worse.
	They are now they are spending twice as much money per student as when I was mayor.
	When I was mayor, we were competitive as one of the top school systems in the country.
	Now we're 26th and 27th.
	Uh Less than half of the students that graduate from New York City schools can do adequate math and reading.
	If and when they go to college, the first two years of college is really high school remediation, even at Harvard, which really isn't a college anymore.
	It's a Marxist uh trading center.
	Uh or or a uh I mean, you know, you can get it, you can you can get a degree in gender modification, you know, or it takes a long time to learn all 57 genders.
	Imagine.
	Imagine how long it takes to go through all 57 genders, which I now have found out includes furry people, and therefore in the New York City's classrooms, they actually do bring in uh kitty uh kitty litter and for the kids who think they're kittens.
	I mean it has to be child abuse to uh uh entertain that to encourage them in that in that behavior.
	It has to be child abuse.
	A little girl is not a kitten, a little boy is not a kid, a little boy is a little boy, and a little girl is a little girl.
	Uh it's bad enough they they confused that now we got furry people.
	That's a gender.
	No, it isn't.
	It's insanity.
	One of 57.
	If I if I walk around thinking I'm a big lion, and I try to bite people as a lion, they could put they could put me in the nut house if we had nut houses.
	One of one of the backgrounds we were gonna show was the gold gold Goldberg Pavilion.
	It's got about four or five thousand rooms there for nuts, uh, none of which are filled.
	They were all walking the streets of New York.
	And if Mondam, one of them maybe uh Mandami will have them all uh walking the streets of New York.
	Um I have to bring this up only because of my uh current uh my current uh method of going to sleep at night.
	When it really gets bad and I can't sleep, I put on dog rescue uh podcasts.
	They're fabulous.
	They're fabulous.
	Some of them are phony.
	I've known I figured out now how to.
	If you ever want to go through this, maybe I'll do a separate one and put it on the because everybody might not be interested in it, but I can show you how to spot the phony ones, like I can show you how to spot the phony Cuban cigars.
	But um but the ones that aren't are beautiful.
	I mean, I've seen some that are absolutely beautiful, and you learn a lot about the human personality by by watching these.
	So there's somebody known as his son Piker.
	I know the name.
	Uh what are we talking about?
	What's a son doing now?
	He's a Twitch streamer.
	Yeah, he's beloved by the far left for his stupendously bloodthirsty anti-American and anti-Jewish politics.
	Yeah.
	He sits in the basement of his comfortable Southern California mansion and reads through the news of the day.
	This comes from the National Review, Jeffrey Bay Blahar.
	Uh, since his views go up when his Siberian husky is on screen.
	Piker has attached a shock collar incredibly tightly to his dog's neck.
	Oh my god.
	And he shocks it to keep it in place in fear.
	The public reaction to this vile animal abuse has been negative to say the least.
	Evidently, the world will happily tolerate, even elevate a vicious anti-Semitic moron who said that America deserved 9-11.
	But it won't stand for a guy who shocks his dog to make it function as a prop for his podcast.
	Now, I I I will grant you that uh distinction, and uh uh, but I love dogs, and I'm gonna give you an I'm gonna give you Jeffrey an example from my own experience.
	We had a terrible, terrible uh accident when I was the mayor, and they were building one of the grand new buildings on um uh on Times Square.
	And it was it was considered an unlucky building.
	Now, you should know that when New York builds skyscrapers, it's not uncommon to lose some people.
	Sky skyscrapers are inherently dangerous to build.
	Uh they've become safer, but they're inherently dangerous.
	And uh, but this building was having all kinds of problems, not just people getting hurt, but uh all kinds of things had to be done differently, and it was taking much longer than it should.
	And all of a day, all of a sudden, one day, I think it's 43rd Street, the big crane fell down on a uh a hotel, a relatively small hotel, relatively small, meaning eight, ten stories, and it crushed it.
	Uh and it created a fire.
	And uh believe it or not, I'm not sure everybody was saved, but most people were.
	It was middle of the day, they probably were working, but a homeless woman on the top floor, who uh no one even knew her family uh died, and um at about the same time, a horse died on uh on uh uh on Fifth Avenue, and uh about three days in into this, as we're kind of working our way out of the out of what was going on there.
	Um my chief of staff, Tony Carbonetti came to me and said, Mayor, I don't know how to tell you this, but we've got about uh two thousand uh uh letters uh about the horse, about two thousand letters and and communications uh about the horse and what you're doing about the horse, and also about a thousand that say you're not taking care of the uh dogs and cats that might be in the building.
	And you uh yeah, you wouldn't you wouldn't let the firefighters go back in.
	But but yeah, uh and we we haven't we've gotten nothing on that poor woman.
	And by the way, uh they don't know they're gonna have to bury her in Pottersfield, and they don't have any money for a funeral for her.
	I said, uh do you have any idea what religion she was?
	Yeah, she had rosary beads and she's a Catholic.
	I said, Well, I tell you what, Tony, maybe we can give the city a little lesson.
	We're gonna do a funeral, and Seahall's gonna go to the funeral.
	And I'm gonna call the cardinal because he's a wonderful man, and I'm gonna explain the whole thing to him.
	And I I bet you, Cardinal O'Connor says the mass.
	He says, Oh, the car, Tony, can you say the mass?
	I didn't even have to ask him.
	Minute I called him and asked to do it there, he said, I'll say the mass.
	And then he gave her a grand mass.
	And we did eventually uh find some of her family.
	And she had you know, four or five hundred people at her funeral because we we also got people in the city to come.
	Now, this isn't that I hate animals.
	I love animals.
	Yeah, I don't think you're gonna find too many people that love animals as much as I do, but I have it in a proper perspective.
	Now, here's the proper perspective.
	They wanted me to send my firefighters in to take out the cats and the and the dog, mostly cats that were in there.
	Uh, my buildings uh uh commissioner uh said to me the building was structurally unsound and it had to be, it had to be uh uh uh it had to be uh kind of adjusted and and from the outside they had to put beams up because there was a great risk that it was going to uh collapse at any time, and various parts of it were collapsing.
	Uh some of my firefighters wanted to go in.
	Even my fire commissioner got a little squishy on me to get out the cats.
	I said, No way.
	I I used to go to the homes of the firefighters who died and have to explain to their families how they died.
	I just was not gonna go and say your son uh Jack died going to get tabby out of the sorry just wasn't gonna do it.
	I'm uh I'm a member of Western civilization, I'm a Christian and a Catholic.
	And human life is just different.
	It's special.
	God didn't make animals in his uh image and likeness.
	Only us.
	That doesn't mean we shouldn't be wonderful to them.
	It doesn't mean we shouldn't treat them as kindly as possible.
	It also means we shouldn't lose perspective and become furry people.
	We'll take a short break after that lecture.
	Thank you.
	U.S. Army Major Scott Smiley paid a high price serving our nation.
	Scott was leading his platoon in Iraq when a blast sent Shrapnel through his eyes, leaving him blind and temporally paralyzed.
	Scott would become the first blind active duty military officer before medically retiring years later.
	Thanks to friends like you, the Tunnels and Towers Foundation gave Scott and his family a mortgage-free, specially adapted, smart home.
	Show your support for America's heroes now.
	Donate 11 dollars a month to Tunnels and Towers at T2T.org.
	Am I back?
	We are back.
	Well, there I am, right in the middle of the Brooklyn Bridge.
	Well, let's take another commercial.
	We'll take another commercial break.
	We were hot in the middle of handing something off here.
	Well, we can do it later.
	We can do commercial break later if you want.
	And we can show them you want to show them a little of the debate, but we have no idea what we'll I see.
	Quality of life, illegal parking.
	I don't know if we're coming in on the highest note here, but quality of life is important.
	So we got it on now.
	People can hear that.
	Oh, yeah.
	I can't.
	Etera.
	That would be a good idea.
	We're gonna have time to address that.
	I want to be very clear.
	Not only have I never called for the legalization of prostitution, I'm not calling for that today either.
	And I also have never said anything about not enforcing misdemeanors.
	This is just yet another figment of Andrew Cuomo's imagination.
	The DSA, which you give your uh part of your salary to, that's their position, abolish jails, no new carceral facilities, don't enforce misdemeanors, and you're on the bill in Albany as a sponsor to decriminalize prostitution.
	The difference between myself and Andrew Cuomo, of which there are many, is that there is no one that is actually telling me what to do other than the eight and a half million people who call this city home.
	If you want my policies, go find them on my website.
	Who told you to legalize prostitution?
	Okay, wait, wait, wait.
	We actually have Andrew, you can't escape this.
	You signed the law doing away with loitering for prostitution.
	That was the law put forward by just gentlemen, you started the prostitution.
	All right, gentlemen, Mr. Heights and Flushing.
	Mr. Sleeper, we have and you want to add to it.
	You're using the quality of life.
	Mr. Slewood, when I talk over you, nobody's hearing you.
	We actually have a question on that.
	So we'll let Rosarina ask.
	And for this question, candidates, we want to come to Queens, where we know that prostitution has been an ongoing complaint.
	Mayor Adams Force form a task force and order sweeps by the NYPD.
	But the situation continues, especially around the very popular Roosevelt Avenue.
	As mayor, Mr. Mandani, how would you handle this situation?
	You have 30 seconds.
	I want to first be clear that I am not, and nor have I ever called for the legalization of prostitution.
	And if you are happy with what's happening on Roosevelt Avenue, then you should vote for Andrew Cuomo because his policy is to continue the exact same ones we've seen under Eric Adams.
	My policy is to actually take on sex trafficking, to have a zero tolerance for violence against women, and to follow the advice of district attorneys that we have here in New York City, the current Manhattan DA, the former Manhattan DA, the current Brooklyn DA, the former Manhattan DA, having said that prosecuting women for prostitution is something that actually leads to less safety.
	And what we need to do is provide an economy of the city.
	So no legalization.
	I do not think that we should be prosecuting women who are struggling, who are currently being thrown in jail and then being offered job opportunities.
	I think we should be actually providing those kinds of opportunities at the first point of interaction.
	Mr. Cuomo, you're talking about it.
	Look, Bill de Blasio, the Assemblyman is a mini-me, BDB, okay?
	He's Bill de Blasio light.
	He proposed legalizing prostitution.
	He didn't get it, and he just told the cops, don't arrest any more prostitutes.
	There is a bill in Albany that he signed.
	That says the prostitution that a woman who is a prostitute, that would be decriminalized.
	That is what the bill says.
	And that's what he said if you listen very carefully.
	That would take Roosevelt Avenue and explode it, because it would make it legal for prostitutes.
	Real quick, how would you handle this situation?
	You have to enforce the law, or it's illegal.
	I went to Roosevelt Avenue.
	I talked to the store owners, I talked to the neighbors.
	I walked down Roosevelt Avenue with prostitutes there at 9 o'clock in the morning.
	I've dealt with this uh back in the 80s and 90s in Hell's Kitchen in Chelsea when they were overrun with open-air prostitution and Times Square.
	You don't go after the women.
	The women are the victims here.
	You lock up the Johns, you shame the Johns.
	You let everybody know about the Johns.
	The madams and the pimps need to be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.
	And these absentee landlords who knowingly rent their rooms, their apartments out for the use of prostitution.
	The Department of Building should come in, padlock the building, seize the building.
	Because many of these landlords live in Delray, Florida.
	They did back in the 80s and 90s when we did it in Chelsea and Times Square and Hell's Kitchen.
	Thank you.
	And they're doing it again.
	Thank you, Mr. Swimming.
	That's why the prosecution for the United States is not a good question.
	We're going to go to Sally now.
	Thank you, David.
	We're going to talk a bit about experience and beliefs.
	We've covered a lot of ground tonight, but we want to probe a bit deeper into each of your mindsets and how you'll approach governing as mayor.
	Mr. Cuomo, you have touted your experience on the campaign trail time and again.
	But you pretty squarely lost the Democratic primary to Mr. Mamdani, forcing you, a lifelong Democrat, to run as an independent decision.
	You said, quote, when you get knocked down, learn the lesson and pick yourself back up.
	What lesson did you learn and what do you feel it said about you?
	Something you did wrong, something that you need to change about yourself.
	Yeah.
	I think in the primary campaign, I did not do enough on social media, which is a very effective medium now.
	I think the assemblyman did do a better job on TikTok and social media than I did during the campaign.
	And that has changed now.
	I've also uh increased my activity significantly.
	Uh but my agenda is exactly the same.
	Uh I am the Democrat, although I'm not on the Democratic line.
	Uh he is a Democratic Socialist called Barack Obama evil and a liar, didn't vote for Kamala Harris.
	Fight and deliver is I will fight for people, I will fight the bureaucracy, and I will deliver results.
	New Yorkers need the mayor to get something done.
	This is all words and theories.
	I am a manager who can actually get things done.
	This is a question about self-reflection.
	Is the thing you're reflecting on the most that you need to be on social media more?
	Was there any other deeper lesson that you would have to do?
	Between the two campaigns, uh social media uh more accessibility.
	Okay.
	I just have to say it's been an hour and 20 minutes of this debate, and we haven't heard Governor Cuomo say the word affordability.
	That's why he lost the primary.
	That's why he'll lose the general election.
	And you can lie all you want, but the truth is I voted for Kamala Harris.
	I'm the only candidate on the stage to have the endorsement of Kamala Harris, and I'm not the one who's funded by Bill Ackman who called Kamala Harris unqualified to be the vice president of this country.
	Okay, Mary Respond.
	Yes, brief response, please.
	There are a lot of New Yorkers who su who support me.
	Uh and there are a lot of Jewish New Yorkers who support me because they think you're anti-Semitic.
	Uh so it's not about Trump or Republican.
	It's about you.
	Uh you think he's anti-Semitic, Mr. Coleman?
	I don't make those judgments about people.
	Are you a racist?
	Are you an anti-Semite?
	I know there are many Jewish people who believe he is anti-Semitic.
	I believe not condemning the globalized intifada, uh, what he has said about Hamas.
	But Mr. I can see where they're covered.
	Sorry, let me interrupt.
	I covered your speech in an upper west side synagogue where you said anti-Zionism is anti-Semitism.
	There is no difference, and you were talking about Mr. Mamdani.
	Is that not an allegation that's no?
	I make that statement all the time.
	I wasn't referring to Mandami.
	Okay.
	All right.
	Mr. Mamdani, a brief response, and then we have to move on.
	I have denounced Hamas again and again, and it will never be enough for Andrew Cuomo because what he is willing to say, even though not on the stage, is to call me the first Muslim on the precipice of leading this city, a terrorist sympathizer, is to send mailers that artificially lengthen my beard.
	Okay is to say to New Yorkers that they should be fear of.
	Okay, Mr. McLean.
	Melissa has a specific question.
	Ms. Mamdani, we uh you are the democratic nominee, and you're also a member, as we've been discussing, of a political organization that may be less familiar to New Yorkers, the Democratic Socialists of America, which believes in dismantling capital.
	Melissa Russo covered me for eight years, and I consider her a very, very fine reporter.
	and i consider her a friend uh and i obviously i'm not going to blame this on her but all of them Does Curtis Flew get a chance to talk?
	What is he?
	Garbage.
	You see, he put his hand up.
	I gotta teach him.
	You don't put your hand up.
	What?
	Would you like me to leave?
	I think I I think in between.
	I said, look, one is worse than the other.
	Would you like me to leave?
	I mean, under under Mandami, it's gonna go down in two years.
	Under Cuomo, it'll take three.
	So maybe I should just go out on the street and talk to the people there because I don't get a chance to talk.
	And I mean, and all they're doing is personally attacking each other.
	I'm actually laying out uh solutions to things, which he is.
	And um I mean, Cuomo is absolutely uh this guy Mondami, I mean, geez, he must have he must have lied his entire life.
	He didn't, he doesn't he he never supported legalizing prostitution.
	How about this quote?
	Sex work is work.
	Uh he voted in favor of a bill, voted in favor of a bill to do away with loitering for the purpose of engaging in prostitution from the penal code.
	Do you know that's how I cleaned up prostitution?
	And I I have to say, uh Curtis was right, and also Curtis was wrong in his answer.
	Curtis said you got to go after the Johns.
	Certainly you gotta go after the pimps.
	Is there anything lower than a pimp?
	And you gotta go after now, the human traffickers, because this has become, I mean, they're not getting into it, but you want me to get really conspiratorial?
	Islamic terrorism makes a fortune off human trafficking with the with the cartels.
	Uh he will put uh you know five times more money in their pocket if he legalizes prostitution.
	I mean, in i i the Islamic extremists who he supports.
	Cuomo is absolutely right.
	He is an Islamic extremist.
	He supports Hamas.
	Uh he uh he uh every time he's called upon to condemn what they do, he equivocates and he doesn't, and uh he made statements about the Jewish people that uh uh I I never heard anybody say in New York.
	Anybody, any place.
	I grew up in a neighborhood that was Italian, Irish, and Jewish.
	So I know plenty of jokes about Italians and Irish and Jews, and and I do not consider myself naive on a subject.
	I mean, this guy I would have knocked the shit out of him when I was a kid if he talked like that about my Jewish friends.
	He would be coming on that stage with a black eye.
	Sorry, I was I grew up in a tough neighborhood like he did, like the guy you see on the screen right now.
	Maybe sometimes it helps.
	And uh I just don't understand why they don't give, I guess they gave him some time right there.
	That's okay.
	We can go we can we we Dr. Marie will come and give us a good uh analysis of it.
	Want to put him on now?
	Yeah.
	Ms. Curtis Lima.
	Just convert it into residential housing.
	You don't need to go into the outer world.
	You don't need to use wetlands and five plans, which they seek to do.
	If you build a new a new building, it takes five years.
	If you convert in the city, all right, Mr. Sweetwood, thank you.
	I want to change the pace in a little bit of year.
	Want to change the pace and just get a sense of what you think about political leadership.
	You're interrupting, they hardly let him speak, and then they interrupt him when he speaks.
	They hardly let him speak, and then they interrupt him when he speaks.
	Now I'm telling you, when I ran for mayor, they did that to me.
	Well, we shouldn't be surprised, right?
	That's the thing, man.
	Not when I was an incumbent, but I didn't let them do it to me.
	Yeah.
	You get you didn't get it.
	I have a feeling they weren't gonna keep keep the mayor off the mic.
	But but you're right, mayor.
	But again, we shouldn't be too surprised, right?
	This is no, no, I'm not surprised.
	Yeah, right.
	I just thought I maybe, maybe I'll see if I have a private conversation with one of them.
	They have to know how dangerous Mandami is.
	They're not stupid.
	I mean, this is not the usual candidate.
	Cuomo is the usual Democrat candidate.
	That's a usual Democrat candidate.
	With starting with Debasio, we started to nominate communists.
	De Bossi was also a communist.
	His mother was a communist.
	He went to he went to Cuba on his honeymoon.
	Who the hell goes to Cuba on the honeymoon?
	Either a communist or a big dope, which he's both.
	What was Curtis's name for him?
	Well, it wasn't Curtis.
	I'm thinking of um I'm thinking of uh Bo Deedle.
	What did he call?
	He had a name for Debasio.
	Like something that came out like big stupid jerk.
	Yes.
	But he was a down, he's the beginning of the downfall of the city.
	Mandami will put it on overdrive.
	Boom.
	And I uh and and um he's got uh even um he's got even more of a of uh of a of a city council, and he will have because they're electing a lot of new people, and then it always tends to be that the new people are further left than the old people.
	Some of the old people that have been there for a while have actually gained some wisdom.
	The new ones come in and they want to do all that crazy crap that he's talking about, and if they can, they'll vote for it.
	Free buses.
	Now he can't do free buses.
	Maybe he did.
	I'm surprised Cuomo didn't point out it's all garbage.
	The Metropolitan Transportation Authority runs the buses and the subways.
	He can go, he can go, and uh and I'm telling you, she's not doing that in an election year.
	Not if she doesn't want to lose by 30 percent.
	Now she's got enough problems with her commuter tax.
	Uh that's put on in a role.
	Yeah, I mean, uh, you say, well, gee, even the people in the city don't appreciate that.
	Yeah, uh, she's a terrible, terrible, terrible governor.
	I mean, some of the others get more more uh play than her because at least they know how to talk, sure, they've had a talk, so she doesn't get much play, she just walks around making funny noises.
	Uh, but she's about as stupid as they come.
	And uh if they just get that damn uh stadium all fixed up and her husband could walk off with the millions they're gonna make, she'd leave.
	I don't know if she has really an interest in the city.
	Uh the last eight years uh as a Buffalo as a Buffalo crooked democrat, and now is it as the uh mayor, all she's been interested in is uh making sure her uh that the Buffalo Bill Stadium gets done in exactly the same place as it is now against the wishes of the people of Buffalo and her husband's uh company that uh runs all of the uh concessions uh can start making uh two and three times what it's making now.
	Did you know that one of the great uh money makers in the new stadiums, of course, are the concessions because they make the stadiums uh much more amenable to people using the concessions.
	So you're you're at a ball game, it's the third inning.
	You want a hot dog, they're not They're not coming down and bringing him to you.
	Your kid wants a hot dog.
	You go up to get the hot dog.
	There's a line with 40 people on it.
	You said he's I'm not missing the the bottom of the top of the fourth.
	Half the people come and sit down.
	Now you make those things much bigger.
	A lot more of the stadium now is concessions.
	There's no line on any concession.
	There's more than three people, four people.
	The first year that the Yankees had the new stadium, they almost doubled their revenues.
	The second year, they doubled their revenues.
	I think they paid for the stadium with like three or four years of concessions.
	They make a fortune off the concessions in the new Yankee Stadium and the new uh city field.
	And her her uh hubby uh owns a lot of the company that has the concessions for the Buffalo Bills.
	So and she was a local official who pushed the whole stadium through.
	And also through an extra money from the state to keep it going because, like the Pelosi's, I mean, she wants to leave with 3400 million, right?
	But Democrats are crooks, don't you know that?
	A lot of them are crooks.
	They have been for a century and a half.
	Why would it be a big surprise?
	I mean, the history of the party is history of massive crookedness, much more so than the Republican Party.
	Not that there aren't crooks in the Republican Party, but the Democratic Party was just like they have they have places in the country where the entire party is crooked.
	One of them is in back of me.
	Think about the judges.
	That's another thing.
	He'll get to appoint the judges.
	Now, the judges in New York are crazy anyway.
	Here's here's here's uh here's a guy.
	His name is Timothy Bowler.
	He's been in and out of jail uh since he was a teenager.
	It includes uh uh killing a cancer survivor in Queens while on release from state prison.
	In other words, he's a killer.
	At 31, he's had 45 uh arrests on his rap sheet.
	20 of them are sealed because they happened before he was 18 or before.
	Why they're sealed, I have no idea.
	I mean, if it's one or two, you seal them because the guy's got a clean record as an adult, and you don't want to destroy him.
	I understand that.
	But once a guy turns out to be a career criminal, what the hell are we hiding the 16 that he did before?
	What good is that gonna do?
	It's just gonna have judges have an excuse to give him a lesser sentence.
	One of those, I think, was a murder.
	Do you understand how they love the Democrats love criminals?
	They write laws that help criminals and that hurt innocent people.
	So he began his record begins when he's 16.
	The most recent one is he sliced off the finger of an MTA worker.
	On October 9, uh, he was he was um he was hit with a new charge for allegedly killing pedestrian Lalawati Nareen, a cancer survivor in a hit and run accident in Queens.
	And that was in March of 2024.
	Now, her death took place.
	Make sure you get this right now, between December of 2000 and 22, when Bowl was released from prison, okay, from an attempted murder case, that he pleaded down to assault.
	So he was let out early.
	And June 2024, when he was busted for violating the conditions of his release, and then he was released again, and then he was arrested two more times and released again.
	It's during that period of time that he that he killed this woman.
	Now, they they are uh unnecessarily careful and not giving me the names of the lousy crooked judges who did this because they they they they they blame everything on the bail law, they blame everything on the bail law,
	they blame everything on the hiding of the uh juvenile records, which como did that, and uh and and the DAs like Bragg who don't prosecute, they don't realize a lot of this for the judges, And it's been this way.
	I mean, I I had to fight this when I when I was mayor.
	Here's the good thing or the bad thing.
	The mayor will get to a point in four years, 30 criminal court judges.
	They'll be there after he leaves for another 10 years.
	Can you imagine who he's going to put on the court?
	He doesn't believe in incarceration for anything.
	Adams attempted to put people on who would set bail.
	Now, some of them don't, because they're Democrats.
	So Lalaidi Nareen would be alive if Democrats didn't control New York.
	If it operated, like say the way it operated when I was the mayor, or it operated the way the state of Florida operates.
	She'd be alive if she lives someplace else.
	You think maybe that's a good reason to move.
	But there's a better chance you'll be killed there than someplace else.
	He will take what is already a terrible situation, as you can see from this case, and it'll make it worse.
	Now we have another one.
	Dimitri Marshall.
	He was busted on Monday for slashing a 27-year-old strap hanger right across the face.
	He went before Brox.
	Now we have a name.
	Bronx criminal court judge Ralph Wolfe on September 15th on charges that he attacked another passenger in the Bronx in August.
	The prosecutor asked that he be held on $50,000 cash bail or 150,000 bond for slashing the hell out of this guy's face.
	The judge, who is a member of the, who is by virtue of being a criminal court judge, There's no question that this guy is part of the Bronx Democrat machine.
	Need I say anything more than part of the Bronx Democrat machine?
	It's like Angamoran, who was part of the Manhattan administration.
	The Manhattan Democrat regime.
	You know, Anger Moron put a lien on my bank accounts.
	I'll tell you about that one another time.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	I mean, it's outrageous.
	This guy's still operating and ruining people.
	Right.
	Ran for office three times.
	Never had opposition.
	And now his patron is Keith.
	Keith Wright.
	There's a whole story about that.
	So the district attorney asked for 50 grand cash bail, 150,000 bond.
	Here's the Bronx machine excuse for a judge.
	Well, certainly I have information before me that I would be perfectly, it would be perfectly reasonable for me to set bail here.
	I don't have, I don't have no bail on me, says Marshall, which he shouted.
	I know the judge responded, based on the allegations and the record and what I'm supposed to consider.
	So I think you understand.
	As long as I stay out of trouble, Marshall said.
	Wolf then warned him to check in regularly for supervised release and let him loose without bail.
	That let him uh free on Monday so that he could slash Fernando, the victim, uh, whose face uh has been permanently ruined by this animal.
	Uh by the way, uh, he had seven arrests, including uh on his record, when when this when this crooked judge, because they're crooked when they do this.
	I don't know, no, I don't know if they're crooked.
	The crook the crooked ones are the one, And they have a lot of those too.
	They're the ones who work with the county leaders and they fix cases.
	They make a fortune that way.
	Or they throw cases to the county leaders' law firm.
	Or they give the county leaders' law firms ridiculously large judgments.
	That's the crooked ones.
	This is this is, I think, more insane pro-criminal Democrat socialist communist ideology.
	That's been going on.
	For example, this guy, Keith Wright, his father was as bad as all these people, he was uh Ed Conscious Nemesis.
	Ed Cosh used to call him Let Him Loose Bruce.
	He was probably the most famous for letting people loose that intimidated and uh uh assaulted and beat and did awful things to the people of New York.
	And he's the guy selecting judges.
	I'm sorry.
	Uh he's now being held.
	He's now being held without bail.
	A little late for the poor guy that lost his face, huh?
	I mean, he had he had like a robbery convictions, he was in Sing Singh.
	He had seven arrests, an unprovoked attack on a 27-year-old man on an MTA buzz, robbery, and you let him out without bail.
	And you don't expect that one of your decent citizens isn't gonna get seriously injured as a result of that.
	He's just lucky somebody didn't get killed.
	That's what you're gonna get.
	See, see what I'm explaining to you?
	That's before you get Mondani, who's gonna deliberately appoint judges like this.
	They could all be let them lose Bruce's, like Keith Wright's father.
	100%.
	And I don't know, you want to start counting up the beaten up people, the rape people, the dead people that they cause.
	It's not without a terrible price for their insanity, stupidness.
	A Mondami bench, there was an there was a column yesterday that if you can get it, you should read by Betsy McCoy, former lieutenant governor of New York, laying out what four years, what four years of Mondami can do to what is already a uh pro-criminal bench,
	and in the case of the Supreme Court justices in Manhattan, the Bronx, Brooklyn, and Queens, uh run and controlled by the Democratic headquarters in the city.
	It has nothing to do with justice, a court.
	Uh they wouldn't they they I mean they they live at the beck and call of the Democrat Party.
	Uh the first time I ran for mayor, people wanted to contest it, among other things, having been a lawyer in New York for that many years.
	I knew I wouldn't have a prayer in a Democrat court, wouldn't have a prayer.
	And I'm not sure there were enough votes to even do it.
	It was close, and I wasn't gonna do it anyway.
	It was a different era.
	It was it was the Nixon Kennedy, and I I got very close.
	I got 49%, 48%, so I could you know live to fight another day.
	So I'm I'm not saying it was all about that, but I remember concluding isn't aren't we stupid talking about this?
	We're never gonna win in a Democrat court.
	And how that's 35 years ago, 40 years.
	Yeah, but that could have been 100 years ago.
	Right.
	The court system in New York is fatally flawed by the appointment process of Supreme Court justices.
	It is not an election.
	When you are a one-party city like ours, the election is a fiction.
	Right.
	And very often there is no election.
	Like Angor Moron never had anybody run against him.
	There wasn't even a make-believe election.
	If he did, you know, that guy would have gotten 5% and he would have gotten 95.
	Now, when you get elected like that, and you really probably aren't much of a lawyer, really.
	Or maybe you're not very energetic.
	You you gotta keep that job.
	Who's going to hire a jackass like Anglemore?
	A practicing lawyer couldn't do things like say that Marago's worth 18 million and not get thrown out of the law firm.
	Right.
	That's that's exactly right.
	The accountability is not there for them.
	So what what uh the former lieutenant governor uh concludes is uh a Mandami mayoralty will mean more dangerous criminals on the streets.
	Mondami is vowing to close the Rikers Island jail complex, reducing uh the city's jail capacity by thousands.
	Every previous reduction in the Rikers Islas population has led to a crime surge.
	Uh almost correct.
	I can think of one that didn't, but it's it's it's a small academic point.
	But uh I back up which she's saying by something I say all the time, and I can take you to New York, I can stop pointing them out.
	There uh there are about 7,000 people walking the streets of the city that wouldn't be walking the streets of the city if I were mayor, or Bloomberg and Kelly were there.
	That number will go up to 10,000 with this guy.
	It'll go up to 10,000.
	Not good.
	In 2022, Assemblyman Mandami co-sponsored the less is more act.
	What do you think that means?
	It exempts parolees from having to return to prison the first two times they get in trouble with the law.
	So uh you go out on parole.
	You said the whole idea of parole is to reintegrate you in society so you become an honest citizen.
	So let's say let's say you're uh uh burglar.
	Can you think like a burglar?
	I can because I used to prosecute them.
	So you let's say you're a burglar, right?
	And you haven't made money in about maybe three, four years because you got a real sentence for burglary, five years.
	You're pretty anxious to me.
	It's like it's like letting uh it's like letting a great runner out who hasn't been able to run for a while.
	That's what the guy does for a living.
	What he does for a living is he breaks into houses and steals things.
	There are career criminals.
	If you don't understand that, you don't understand a damn thing.
	You put them in jail, crime goes down.
	You let them go out in the crime machines.
	Before you catch them again, who knows how many crimes?
	You're not gonna catch them on the first one.
	They could do 10, they could do 50, they could do 100, they could do 200 before you catch them again.
	But they're gonna do them because that's what they do for a living.
	And you can figure it out pretty easy when you watch how they how they move from being a juvenile into adult crime.
	And you can figure the career criminals out pretty easily.
	If you need help, you can read James Q. Wilson's book that was written in 1978 about how to identify career criminals and the unbelievably good work that's done over the years in reducing crime and saving people's lives.
	The Less is more act, as a result, 85% of parole violators stay free after re-offending.
	So they let you out of prison to show you're gonna be a good boy.
	And you go burgle a house, and they say, okay, we're not gonna put you in.
	Actually, you can get one more.
	You got you can get one more before we put you back.
	So then you burgle a second house, and probably they find a reason not to put you back, even then.
	It's garbage, they put you back.
	But in any event, let's say they do.
	You think there were only two in that period of time?
	There probably were 50, 100, 200 people's homes invaded.
	As a result, 85% of parole violators stay free after re-offending.
	Another result, Maureen and Frank Olton of Belrose, Queens are dead.
	The elderly couple were butchered in their home in September by repeat parole violator, Jamel McGriff, who then set their house afire with them in it.
	This was a guy who benefited from this insane Democrat, pro-criminal, anti-innocent person law.
	More gruesome news to follow if Mondami wins the race.
	None of this is scare tactics.
	All of it is unfortunately straight out reality.
	And man, New York has better face it.
	They better face it.
	I mean, uh it's not going to be a picnic no matter who's elected.
	I mean, they're going to be left with enormous problems, like I was.
	Curtis has the question that qu question that was asked in one of the one of the uh more thoughtful columns was okay.
	How can the Republican with a city council as uh not just as Democrat, but as uh socialist and actually stupid and crazy.
	Uh for example, uh the present city council, and this next one will be made up probably of half of them and half new ones, voted to allow illegal aliens to vote.
	Now that's pretty stupid anyway, right?
	But the state constitution sets the parameters for voting, the requirements.
	One of them is that you have to be a citizen of the United States.
	How could these sub morons actually think they could they could pass this?
	Right.
	Well, they did, and the first court overruled that the second court now is having problems with it.
	Uh maybe they can't read the constitution.
	Or maybe the Democratic leader came to them, you know, one of these crooked leaders and said, eh, screw up the court, screw it up until the election, so we don't we don't lose uh the fake alien vote that we brought here to vote for us.
	Um, we do did we take our break?
	We did, but we can uh yeah, let's check it on the bait.
	We'll check it on the debate.
	And then I want to talk a little about the voting rights act because I think it's very interesting what's going to come out of that.
	And we'll see.
	It is a very dangerous situation.
	And I think you should have a mental health worker accompanied with a police officer, because these can be explosive situations.
	I have been in situations that uh seemed apparently calm and fine, and then erupted into violence very quickly, and it got very dangerous very quickly.
	So I would have a social worker with a police officer and get the people off the streets.
	That's the humane thing, and get them the care they need.
	Uh, not the institute, not institutionalized 40,000 people again.
	We have supportive housing now, which is what we use, and forensic beds for people who need them.
	So let me get this straight.
	Uh a police officer is there first.
	He has to wait for the arrival of a mental health.
	I would send them as a team.
	As a team.
	That's not how that's not realistic.
	You're dealing with fantasy also.
	All right.
	The police officers are going to be the first one on the scene.
	Okay.
	And they're always going to have to deal with it first and foremost.
	Mr. Palmer says that he has experience running homeless programs.
	What he has experience doing is cutting funding for the very programs that prevented homelessness here in New York City.
	As the governor, he cut funding for the advantage program, which was putting New Yorkers who had otherwise been in shelters, otherwise been homeless, into apartments.
	I met one of those New Yorkers.
	You told me how that pushed her out on the street.
	Thank you, Mr. Muddani.
	Brief response, Mr. Cuomo.
	He's talking about a program 14 years ago that was a pilot program that had a work requirement It was very controversial.
	It was 65 million dollars.
	Uh we're talking about advantage, just so we know that.
	It was 14 years ago, 65 million.
	I added billions to the homeless budget.
	Funded the homeless budget larger than any governor in history.
	Okay.
	Okay, thank you.
	We want to talk about homeless hair skyrocketing.
	It was during the Bloomberg administration.
	And yes.
	Okay.
	Okay.
	want to ask you about climate change.
	As New York City confronts the impact of climate change, one issue already on the desk of the next mayor's local.
	I mean, I'll I'll excuse uh Curtis if he has to say something that suggests that he really believes it's a problem.
	Because in a city like New York, uh they probably think you're crazy if you aren't uh if you aren't worshiping at the altar of climate change and contributing hundreds of millions and billions of dollars to crooked democrats because the whole thing's been a scam from day one.
	Or we could look at it this way.
	We don't have to spend anything on climate change, it just happens.
	You notice it's getting to be fall.
	Not so much here in Florida, but when we're up in up in New Hampshire, we noticed it.
	God did it.
	Spring, all right, spring.
	And then it changes.
	And it becomes summer.
	And then it changes again.
	And it becomes fall.
	Then it changes again, it becomes winter.
	Then it changes.
	What are you gonna do with you tell me exactly what the problem is with climate change?
	I don't know why they adopted, I remember global warming, but then it turns out it isn't.
	And we had the predictions, you know, it was gonna disappear at the millennium, it was gonna disappear.
	I remember in 2010, 2015, uh, we're gonna burn.
	And then it turns out that the uh polar ice cap was melting for a while, now it's not.
	I remember I I knew they had to come up with a new one when Gore came to New York to pick up, you know, some of the billions that he made by fleecing people on this, and it was snowing like hell, and he's talking about global warming.
	Democrats are gonna come up with some other kind of bullshit.
	But I I cannot believe they came up with climate change, and it's the perfect communist thing.
	It doesn't mean anything.
	What does climate change mean?
	The climate changes.
	You mean we're gonna have a week more of spring or week more of winter, or we can't adjust to that.
	We've only been around for I don't know how many million years, I don't know how many years.
	We don't we've only been recording it for about two or three thousand, but just not.
	Climate's been climate has been changing, I think, since uh God um since God separated uh the the land from the from uh uh the the sky from the earth and created the seas.
	Right.
	If we if we were to put our emphasis on how to adapt to whatever changes are happening, it would be about 20% of what was spending, and it would leave a lot more money for our children and also to take care of all these things they're talking about.
	Most of the squeeze now in like in New Jersey, the reason New Jersey is so strapped and they they tax people like crazy, they have all these ridiculous, they have all these ridiculous green laws, none of which have a damn thing to do with public health.
	No, no.
	Well, the voting rights act uh was in front of the Supreme Court uh yesterday, and it was a extra it was a uh re argument really of a case that was argued last year.
	Last year, um basically the question is should do they have to redistrict Louisiana to create another black district.
	I think there's only one.
	Population would suggest there should be only one when you look at the overall population, but somehow the argument is that um given the distribution of blacks in different parts of the state, there should be two.
	Um the the case has a complicated history.
	The co I think it I think that I think that the court, the court o overturned that, the lower court.
	And uh when it was originally argued, several of the justices said that none of this maybe could be justified any longer under the voting rights act of 1965.
	Since uh you're making a tremendous exception for the constitutional principle of you know colorblind justice, colorblind decisions.
	You shouldn't discriminate based on race.
	You are.
	You're discriminating based on race to cure theoretically the damage done by discriminating based on race.
	Now there were people from the very beginning thought this was insane and unconstitutional, but it has been constitutional, and and over the last 20 years, the Supreme Court has whittled away at it, narrowed it, and found in this particular case they were wrong.
	Or in this particular case, they were wrong.
	Here in the Louisiana case, as to whether or not, if you're gonna do it, is it necessary?
	If you're gonna use race, is it necessary to have a second district or not?
	The courts kind of split.
	I think originally they said yes, and now and then the other court said no.
	And I think the Supreme Court's gonna say no based on the facts.
	Now see if you can follow me on this.
	If you can, I'll give you my law degree, which I can't use anyway.
	And uh what the Supreme Court is now deciding is whether you can engage in this analysis at all anymore.
	In other words, can you go look at race and say are things balanced?
	Or is that no longer necessary because the reasons for the voting rights act of 1965 have long since passed away.
	Whether you could make it an exception to the Constitution because there had been racial discrimination in the past, that that that's gone, maybe for 30 years.
	So now we got to get back to the constitution as it's written.
	So as you might imagine, there were, and I didn't listen to the whole argument, I listened to parts of it.
	The three liberals will vote, you know.
	But um, I mean, they've had Justice Thomas on this for 30 years, they have Justice Alito, they have Gorsuch.
	Uh no question they have Kavanaugh.
	He has some of the toughest questions.
	And I think they have Roberts.
	This is not the kind of case where Roberts foals.
	Uh Justice Roberts, and I like Justice Roberts a lot and know him for a long time, but he tends to play to the Washington uh Peanut Gallery or Cocktail Circuit or Washington Post or the Bar Association that threw me out.
	Or um and and uh and let's give it a bigger picture.
	He wants his court to have a good reputation.
	It's where he's looking to reaffirm that reputation.
	That's the mistake who don't really have any regard for the Constitution.
	But generally he's uh he's solid as hell.
	Justice Barrett confuses the living daylights out of me.
	I don't get it.
	I don't get some of her decisions.
	I don't I I um she's sometimes conservative, she sometimes isn't.
	That's okay.
	If I see a consistency in it, what's the what's the dividing line?
	Where's the divide?
	This case looks nice, feels nice.
	I I don't think she's a I don't think she's thinking Washing Post or any of that.
	In fact, I don't know what she's thinking.
	So I don't know which way she's gonna go on that, and I'm gonna try and see if I can get a uh uh a transcript of the argument to see what questions she asked.
	Uh but most of the most of the solid um interpreters who heard the whole argument, and this would be borne out by the parts that I've heard, say there are five solid votes, and this is gonna go.
	We're not gonna have a voting rights act anymore.
	You know what it means?
	Probably means about 12 more seats for plus Republicans.
	It means that we we have to have another water gate to lose the house.
	Which means at least they can save America.
	Because about half, they they think that if you actually did a uh uh um a redistricting without considering race, yeah, half the caucus would be gone.
	Well, they're all Democrats.
	Yeah, of course, yeah.
	They don't let a Republican in the if you're if you're black, you can't be part of the if you're black, even though you're black.
	If you're Republican, you can't be part of the black caucus, which therefore should be named the Democrat by Caucus.
	Right?
	That's a good point.
	There's there may even be some rules about that, right?
	I don't know.
	I I get I guess you know, Democrats.
	It's a private the party is a private you can't if if it were the government, it would be unconstitutional, right?
	But they don't care about the constitution.
	I gather it's over.
	The debate's over.
	Is that correct?
	So uh it appears they've moved on to uh yes, 905.
	So the debate has wrapped up, Mayor.
	So let's take a short break and see if Dr. Maria can join us.

	Scott was leading his platoon in Iraq when a blast sent shrapnel through his eyes, leaving him blind and temporarily paralyzed.
	Scott would become the first blind active duty military officer before medically retiring years later.
	Thanks to friends like you, the Tunnel the Towers Foundation gave Scott and his family a mortgage-free, specially adapted smart home.
	Show your support for America's heroes now.
	Donate 11 dollars a month to Tunnels and Towers at T2T.org.
	I feel like I'm gonna sneeze.
	This is uh Rudy Giuliani, and we're back with America's mayor live and with and our uh prime uh uh guest, number one guest, number one contributor, who also uh helps Teddy watch that debate, joke me.
	Move it move moving closer.
	You remember the microphone?
	Yes, I'm using yours here.
	I'm using the tall one, yeah.
	So yes, the debate tonight, Sliwa, the Republican candidate, Democrat Socialist, Mam Dami, and the independent and you don't even do it on purpose, I do it on purpose.
	How do you say it?
	Mandum Taba.
	Oh, my dupet.
	Mam do Baba.
	You know, I'm Mandani.
	It's a D A. I noted Mandani.
	A lot of people say Mandami, they think there's an M. It's an N. It's an N Mandani.
	Mandani.
	Zo Zoran.
	Zoran.
	And he's the first you know that Curtis mispronounced his first name and he corrected him, but Curtis sincerely said, I apologize.
	Nobody really wants to say somebody's name wrong.
	I I think he said he's mispronounced the first name somehow.
	I don't know.
	I only asked because sometimes they they get honest for mispronunciations when it's not that far off.
	Yeah, it wasn't that far.
	I didn't feel like it was that far off.
	Yeah, yeah.
	How do you know if you don't know, right?
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	That's not racist.
	I don't remember which is it Kamala or Kamala?
	Kamala.
	I think she like Pamela Kamala.
	Kamala?
	Yeah.
	That's the thing, right?
	We don't know.
	Yeah.
	Jamie Raskin's.
	Pamela Kamala.
	Pamela Kamala.
	It's Kamala.
	I think I remember them correctly.
	It's not like Pamela Kamala.
	Now I don't know.
	Now I'm more confused than ever.
	I don't know.
	You know, his name is easier uh phonetically because it it comes out a lot of them don't follow our phonetics, but Zoltron, Z-O-L, T-R-A-N, Zoltron, Mon M A M. Is it Zoltron?
	No.
	It's Zoran.
	Yeah, Zorron.
	All right.
	You were people are gonna think I've had alcohol.
	I've not had anything to drink.
	I don't smoke marijuana.
	I'm totally against it.
	No, he's not.
	But I'm getting silly now.
	So, anyways, it's the debate of the three New York City mayoral candidates, Cuomo, the the independent momdani, the Democrat Socialists, and the Republican Curtis Sleewa.
	So I reported on your other show when they first started out.
	It was like this back and forth, and it seemed like the Cuomo Mandani show.
	And I did feel bad for Curtis.
	I felt Curtis's answers, if I want to be totally honest, were the most sincere with integrity, and he had um plans.
	He absolutely knows more about the city than anybody.
	When talking about affordable apartments, of course, Mandani came under attack because he's in a rent, excuse me, he's in a rent controlled apartment that should go to somebody who needs that.
	He's um from millionaire parents that support him.
	But did they hit they hit him on that?
	Yes, Cuomo hit him on that, but he doesn't care.
	He just smiles and says, See, this is your answer.
	If you want a man who would invic me, evict me and my wife, vote for him.
	If you want somebody who wants to make affordable housing for all of us, vote for me.
	So he just doesn't, he's not sincere.
	But when talking about the affordability in the housing crisis, the two candidates didn't know this.
	Only Curtis Lee Wan knew it, that there were 6,000 vacant apartments.
	I don't know New York, so I'm not sure where they are, but he knew that.
	And he knew about some other things.
	I find him very knowledgeable.
	I think the moderators overall try to hold all of them accountable, whether past or present.
	Mandani said he apologized to the New York police department for calling them racist, anti-queer.
	He says that was 2020.
	I was mad About George Floyd.
	George Floyd overdosed.
	He was not killed.
	That's been proven beyond a shadow of a doubt.
	But if you're mad about something that happens somewhere else, you were an assemblyman person in New York.
	Yeah.
	So you so you're just gonna spout off irrationally.
	But I don't know.
	I find you know.
	So here's what I uh when he brought that up.
	I would have said, you know, these mistakes by a mayoral candidate can cost lives.
	For example, the last socialist mayor, Damasio, the New York City police department feels cost the lives of two police officers because when a racial incident happened in Philadelphia or Baltimore, he said New York police department is just as racist based on Del Basio.
	Uh de Blasio said that a week later, a guy from Baltimore came up to New York and assassinated two police officers.
	Wow.
	And and to this day, there's nobody in the New York City police problem that wouldn't hold the Blasio responsible for it.
	Well, De Blasio came up actually because Mandami talked about a plan for homelessness and for people.
	The mental health crisis is really out of control everywhere in our country.
	So it is a nationwide problem.
	But he talked about having social workers and mental health workers out and about dealing with with those type things.
	And guess who got rid of it?
	De Blasio.
	And apparently Mandani has made the comment.
	Yeah.
	That uh de Blasio was his favorite in the one he looks up to the most, which you ask any New Yorker.
	I was in New York, off and on for four years with a radio station with you, a radio show with you.
	I got to know the people of New York.
	Being outside of New York, I thought they were all crazy.
	Being there, they're very reasonable, good people, like you'd find anywhere.
	The problem with New Yorkers, they don't come out to vote.
	And the rank choice method in the primaries is set up for only Democrats to win.
	It is a total scam.
	They're beaten down.
	170 years of crooked democrat governments, except for maybe they gotta stand up, though.
	Except except maybe for a few years, exceptions.
	They've built in institutions that uh that only communist countries would have.
	Yeah, like the one that I keep talking about, the way judges are appointed.
	Yeah, I mean, our our Supreme Court bench in in the four Democrat boroughs is completely political.
	Yeah, it's not a court, it's a political clubhouse.
	Well, you could tell the telemundo moderator was a real lefty because the way she would phrase her questions about how are you gonna stand up to Trump?
	Why do you gotta stand up to Trump?
	Is like to help your city, but that's when Curtis really praised Hochel.
	And I suppose there's good and bad in all of us, right?
	I think Hochel is a terrible governor for your former state.
	Um, I really don't have any respect for her, but apparently when Curtis said we really needed help in the subways, she did send the National Guard and it did help.
	So I did I did respect that too of Curtis, that you could recognize when someone has made a good decision and and give them credit for it.
	Well, you know, that whole thing that they were arguing about about whether to send police officers and social workers.
	I started that, yeah, and I started that, and it was and and Curtis made a little bit of a mistake.
	Curtis sort of uh when Cuomo was explaining it, he uh he said, uh, you know, the police officers will get there first, and and they were confusing, they were confusing violence situations violence, yes.
	Um although a homeless situation can get violent, sure.
	A lot of them are violent, yeah.
	And especially if they're easily skipped, I've had to deal with them.
	Usually 40 percent, yeah, which is a very very generous conservative number, yeah, are mentally ill, yeah, and mentally ill with tendencies toward violence, yeah, like paranoid schizophrenics, right?
	Who the more isolated they are, the more violent they get.
	So I started the program when we were doing deliberate arrests, in other words, to get people off the street, yes.
	The police will bring the social, which is humane, by the way.
	What which is very humane.
	Sorry, I have a terrible cold.
	I'd bring the social workers at night.
	I'd bring the social workers uh uh with the police because the police just can't arrest you for laying on the street.
	They can make you move.
	They can tell you you can't sleep here.
	They can even take your stuff away from you if you keep doing it.
	But they can't arrest you.
	It's not illegal.
	So you know what my city does though in the winter.
	Let me finish what I did because what I did was I would bring a social worker, the social worker would talk him into how much better it would be if they went into the and then we take their stuff away.
	And they said, Where am I gonna sleep?
	Well, you can have to leave the city, or you're gonna have to come with us.
	90% came with us.
	And where would you put them?
	We we brought there's plenty of room for them.
	Did they bring out the fact that there are at least 6,000 beds for mentally ill people that are empty?
	Yes.
	Did they bring that up?
	I believe Curtis brought that out.
	Yeah, I mean that you could uh I mean it would take uh months to fix it up.
	Yeah, I uh when they were when they were arguing way back, de Blasio and and Cuomo, who hated each other when they were arguing about they didn't have housing for for uh for people with COVID or places to put them.
	Yeah, I said you got 6,000 beds on on at the Goldberg uh mental institution that are empty, yeah.
	And it's a nice place, yeah.
	I think at the time they had the ship too.
	Well, I got they didn't use that, they didn't really use the Java Center.
	The ship they didn't use, and this is this is what's wrong with Cuomo because they didn't want to make ego Trump.
	No, no, it's the ego.
	He wanted he didn't want to, he wanted who has for the shit.
	Yeah, then he got a call, yeah, from the Democratic Party, yeah, from Biden.
	Yeah, it said don't make him look good.
	Yeah, well, maybe I'm characterizing ego.
	Yeah, but get rid of that damn Trump to get the crowd.
	I don't want I don't want this guy to look like he saved New York.
	What are you crazy?
	And if you if you recall what would you do?
	You would help the people.
	Yeah, I wrote an op-ed piece at the time, congratulating Cuomo and Newsom for working with Trump.
	Yeah, and within three days, they got working for him.
	Yeah, Biden saw that off.
	And I'm not sure maybe maybe maybe I I don't know.
	I can't say that I caused it, but I have no doubt, I know for sure that Cuomo was told to, I don't know about Nose, but Cuomo cut it out.
	Stop praising him.
	Cuomo was trying to do what a reasonable governor does.
	I I was a Republican mayor, Clinton was a democratic governor.
	When I was running, it's just this it's just different.
	It tells you how biased the press is.
	I was asked, what would I do to cooperate with Clinton?
	Yeah, not what would I do to challenge him, yeah.
	What would I do to cooperate with him?
	Yeah, exactly.
	Which we should all do, right?
	Cooperate with the people.
	He's the president of the United States who's got a lot of resources.
	I I fought him when I had to.
	I beat him in a case over cheating us out of uh out of money for uh for uh for for child care, and uh he because he vetoed, he line-eyed and vetoed, yeah, which you can't do anymore.
	Well, because of my claim, because my case in one hands, yeah.
	More hand and I uh put up the fund and we challenged it, and we won to the Supreme Court, and um I was always kind of in favor of the I am in favor of the line out of veto.
	I am too, except I wish we'd get that back, except it's unconstitutional yeah, it it no doubt violates the constitution, and Senator Moynihan came to me knowing that I would understand that, or maybe I had given a speech about it, and he said uh this uh you can get your 250 million back.
	I said, How senator bring the case against him, and I did.
	Oh wow, and I was a democrat.
	Oh, but Moynihan was worked for Nixon, yeah.
	Moynihan was a Democrat half the time he was fighting with his party.
	Yeah, now he would be a Republican.
	Oh, yeah.
	Would be fed him in on steroids, yeah.
	Yeah, also he was a genius.
	The funniest parts of the debate is when Curtis uh was saying everything that Cuomo did wrong and the no cash bail and all this, and your father, I knew Mario Cuomo, and he would have never done that.
	But sir, you're no Mario Cuomo, you are Andrew Cuomo.
	That was a little bit silly.
	Yeah, it was a little bit silly, but it was funny to me.
	It was funny.
	I just don't think you attack somebody's dad.
	No, he was praising the dad.
	Yeah, but you know what I mean.
	Use the dad against yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
	Yeah, he was praising the dad.
	Well, so thank you.
	We won the debate.
	I know people are gonna think I'm biased just because he's Republican, but I just think Curtis Leewa was the one with the most integrity, honesty.
	Like I really loved it when they asked about you know being mayor and everything, and of course, Mondani and Cuomo, you know, they're gonna do everything right.
	Curtis had enough guts to say, I don't know everything, but I'm gonna hire the best people around me and experts around me, and I really feel out of all the candidates, Curtis is there for the people.
	He didn't say what he said to me.
	Well, I'll know what to do about being mad because I'll call you.
	Yeah, we didn't say that, did he?
	No, no, not gonna no, not that I heard, but there's gonna be a second debate coming up.
	So all righty, all right, and thank you, Doctor.
	You're very welcome.
	Thank you, Dr. You know, you remember yesterday.
	Remember yesterday, Dr. Maria was under the weather.
	I did a show for fit.
	Thank God I under fever 100%.
	I had terrible fever, I was like hallucinating.
	My fever was so bad.
	And thank you so much for doing my show.
	I really appreciate it.
	I I I uh I just hope I didn't scare away all you listen.
	I doubt it.
	I doubt it.
	That was the last minute to be our sponsor.
	And that's a commitment.
	That's two hours of watching that.
	I know I know we like that that's hazard pay right there.
	Well, we'll maybe we'll let's try.
	Let's try to give uh let's try to give Tony Carbonetti a call and see if he listened to it.
	He may have gotten he, he may have gotten messed up with the going back and forth and see if we can get a uh let's see if we can uh see if I can get him on the phone and then I'll put him on.
	Tony was my chief of staff.
	I would say Tony is one of the five or six most knowledgeable people on New York politics.
	So you're watching live.
	The mayor is making a call.
	I'm making a call.
	Not the first time we've done this on the show.
	No, it's how we have Tony.
	Would you would you like to tell my audience who won the debate?
	Well, you didn't see the debate.
	What kind of a New York expert are you?
	We're live on the air.
	Pardon me.
	He he's not, but you gotta go to a dinner.
	Okay, well, watch the debate tonight, and we'll put you on tomorrow.
	All right, all right, have a good have a good have a good rest.
	Bye-bye.
	Who's he having dinner with?
	He's in Washington.
	Oh, if he's in Washington, I mean that could be any number of people.
	Who knows what he's doing?
	But you can always use the I mean he's doing is supporting his wonderful family.
	That's what he's doing.
	Yeah, that's that good.
	That's a good point.
	But someone like you, Mayor and you're not you you cannot tell a lie, so you'd never do it.
	But you could always use the excuse.
	Sorry, the president's on the phone, right?
	Or the president used me, right?
	And nobody can argue with that, right?
	No, nobody can argue.
	The president's on the line.
	Of course, he used to have her a lot when I was his lawyer, and you really were.
	You really did need to go.
	Yeah.
	Did we did we let this audience know about the unbelievable scoundrel who's running from uh governor of New Jersey?
	Mickey Sherrill.
	Not the latest.
	The new story.
	The other one, the other one we did on the we did that on the other show.
	Yes, so the the this is important.
	So there are two things you gotta know.
	The news story thing.
	Two number one, she is she's lying, and I can say that without any problem because she contradicts herself.
	The proof that she's lying is her.
	The first time this came out.
	What I'm talking about is she did not graduate with her class from the Naval Academy, and it was the year of the big scandal.
	An exam was published.
	I don't know if it was published generally, or a large number of students got it, but a large number of students did get it.
	Some had the honor to report it and turn it in.
	Many, but many didn't.
	In fact, The final numbers were something like 88 students were found guilty.
	Um two dozen were expelled, and then the rest were given various pen penalties.
	I guess I don't I mean I don't I don't know the distinctions, but uh that's a lot of cadets, 88 to cheat, right?
	Now she was in that class.
	She she did not graduate with her class.
	This is all we know because she won't release the the records.
	Uh what we do know is she didn't graduate with a class.
	That's all we knew.
	When we found it out two, three weeks ago, even though she ran for Congress uh several times and never told anybody about this.
	Right.
	That's that's which she's a s because she's a uh she's a damn sneaky sneak, slimy politician, a slimy politician, a slimy politician who who hides behind being a naval officer.
	She she never should have been a naval officer.
	Absurd.
	She's an embarrassment to the United States Navy when you hear this.
	So when it came out, uh when it came out last month, uh she admitted that she wasn't allowed to graduate with her class on May 25, 1994.
	And the reason that she did gave is the following.
	I didn't turn, I'm quoting her now.
	I didn't turn in some of my classmates, so I didn't walk.
	But at the time, um, at the time she refused to release her sealed academy disciplinary records that would confirm or falsify her account.
	The minute they won't release it, you know immediately.
	I mean, we're not talking about her medical records, we're not talking about she doesn't have to release the names of anybody else.
	Uh all she has to do is release the report that was done by the Naval Academy on her and what she was found guilty of or not guilty of, or they obviously have uh uh they came to a conclusion, the Naval Academy did, that unlike some of the others, she wasn't allowed to graduate with her class.
	She tells us the reason for that is she wouldn't rat people out.
	Now, she went on to elaborate on that, staying with that version of the story a day or two later at a campaign event.
	She said, I knew people who were implicated in the cheating, but I didn't come forward with that information, which was apparently a violation of the Academy Honor Code.
	Well, it isn't apparently, it obviously is.
	Uh it obviously is because I mean, isn't one of the big words honor?
	And uh who are you loyal to?
	The cheaters?
	Or uh the fact that we have to have uh officers of the highest integrity for the good of the United States.
	Sounds to me like if you're not gonna rat people out like you're the mafia, you want to call it rat people out, you want all these scumbags who cheat to be naval officers.
	Well, you must be one of them.
	I mean, I don't, I I I mean, I know a lot of people get all I've just I just dealt with too many people that I got to rat.
	Uh there's no there's no there's no honor in protecting cheats and murderers and scoundrels like the mafia.
	There's no honor in protecting a bunch of a bunch of kids who maybe should do something else for a living than service in the Navy.
	I mean, if they're gonna do that in the academy, what the hell are they gonna do in the military?
	We're gonna rely on these on these cheats and liars, of course not.
	And if you cared about the if you had the right code of ethics, you'd turn them in.
	But she wanted to look like she figures New Jersey, she doesn't even come from New Jersey, by the way.
	She comes from a very upper-class family, 42 Virginia family.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	Um whoever gave her that idea, just say I wasn't a rat.
	Yeah, yeah, but wait, it didn't last long because she's a liar, liars don't last long.
	But she shifted her account after last week's debate with Jack Chitterelli, the GOP candidate, who by the way kicked the shit out of her.
	And I think the polling showed it.
	And they probably didn't like her answer on this.
	So, what do you do if you're Democrat if they don't like your answer?
	If you're Mandami or what do you do?
	You change your answer, right?
	You don't tell the the truth, the truth.
	Gosh, Democrats got rid of the truth somewhere in the last century.
	Right.
	I mean, they've since since uh since boss tweed, they haven't been operating with the truth.
	Here's the new here's the new quote.
	And I think tomorrow we're gonna put them up on the board, and you can compare them.
	Because this is what I would do if I was prosecuting for perjury.
	I I'd convict her out of her own mouth.
	There were hundreds of people in my class that spoke to investigators.
	When I did, I told them what I knew.
	Repeat that can I remember what did she say?
	I didn't come forward with that information.
	Yes.
	That's the first version.
	Yes.
	Second version.
	There were hundreds of people in my class that spoke to investigators.
	When I did, I told them what I knew.
	I didn't come forward with that information.
	I told them what I knew.
	Wow.
	That's a 180 from what she's claiming.
	She assured reporters.
	Huh?
	She did rat.
	When did she say?
	Did you say that in an interview or she said it um at a press conference?
	Wow.
	So she's lying.
	And she's now demonstrated to us all that you knew that.
	You and I do not have to say alleged or anything like that.
	Unless she's misquoted.
	And no one says unless she's misquoted.
	The second statement contradicts the first statement 100%.
	The first statement says I didn't come forward.
	Second statement says I told them everything I knew.
	That's 100.
	Those are two uh mutually exclusive.
	Maybe she hasn't changed since she was in the academy and cheated.
	Uh so now there's a new fact that comes out that really starts, I think, to give you the answer.
	Sure.
	She was kept at the academy for 254 days, nearly nine months after graduation.
	She says that they were having trouble finding the right fight something or other for.
	What?
	Nine months to find her a plane?
	The United States um Navy campaign?
	The U.S. Navy, one of the most logistically advanced organizations on the face of the planet.
	Her campaign claims she was just waiting for a flight school slot to open up.
	A flight.
	And they keep you at the academy.
	Don't they send you to a ship or something for a while?
	They don't keep you at the academy.
	So of course this is the post, so they do a little honest reporting, and they talk to they talk to other academy graduates, one of whom I'm gonna try to get for tomorrow night.
	Okay.
	Um I said her campaign claims that she was just waiting for a flight school to open, but other academy graduates suggest it sounds more like she was obliged to do an honor remediation to graduate because of her role in the cheating affair, whatever that was.
	How do we find out what it was?
	How do we find out if there's all a misunderstanding, which obviously it isn't, or it's extremely serious?
	We get the records.
	I I don't know why she controls the records.
	Right.
	How can she tell us that we can't see her records in a in a public uh institution?
	The Naval Academy is a public, it belongs to her, to us, not her.
	Right.
	This isn't this isn't um, this isn't as I said, a medical record.
	And I don't know if we're dealing with a public official who shouldn't get to see a relevant uh medical record, but that it isn't exactly what principle of privacy are we are we uh observing in not why can't uh Pete Heggs just say here are the records.
	Well, well, that would be my that was my question to you, Mayor.
	I don't know why the Navy just can't release the record here.
	Here they are.
	Yeah, they're like you said, they are not hers to keep.
	This is not a private school where money from her family, you know, where she paid for it.
	You know how I learned this lesson.
	I think I was about 28 years old, and my boss, my boss was in this dispute with uh Mario Biagi, United States Congressman who was running for mayor, and during and he was leading, and during and during it, another congressman who hated him leaked that he had taken the uh uh he had taken the Fifth Amendment uh 48 times in the grand jury on a scandal involving him getting bribes for private immigration bills.
	He said, I never took the Fifth Amendment.
	We talk a little bit.
	I never took the Fifth Amendment, never.
	You got my word for that.
	Yeah, the United States attorney for the Southern District of New York, wouldn't he know it seymour junior, who was a man of impeccable honor, almost to the point of he decides to go to court and get a uh an order from the judge releasing a grand jury testimony.
	Yeah, well, now do you really didn't have to release it because what does Biyaj do?
	He comes in and opposes it, of course.
	If he hadn't taken the Fifth Amendment, he wouldn't oppose it.
	Well, what the hell is she opposing putting her records out?
	If it cut if it she claims that she can explain the whole thing, right?
	I wasn't a rat.
	I was looking, I didn't want to rat on my peers.
	But now she's got to put them out.
	She's got two different explains.
	She's trying to put herself in a in a pit.
	But I don't understand why she gets to keep these secret.
	That's what we have no idea why she why she can Pete Heggseth step in or the head of the Navy uh should step in and say, Yeah, for the honor of the Navy, let's get this resolved.
	Right.
	This was a horrible scandal, a terrible uh blot on the academy.
	88, 88 of the.
	Do you remember this happening at the I do remember?
	I mean, I don't remember in detail, but I remember you remember seeing it.
	Because it was so damn shocking.
	I I spent a lot of time at West Point when I was U.S. attorney in my district, right?
	I taught some classes there, right?
	I went to the football game every year, I go to seminars there, and I prosecuted people there.
	Yeah, uh, and this if this and this would have shocked me if it happened at West Point.
	They'd thrown them over there.
	Oh I can remember.
	Imagine the commandant uh right.
	It's you know, here's the thing that's really amazing.
	Like we love the military, love the police.
	That doesn't mean they're all saints.
	It also doesn't mean that some of them are very crooked.
	Sorry, it's human nature, and all these professions have some of the greatest people and some of the biggest scoundrels.
	So in some ways, military record should get great credit, but it doesn't mean it can't be examined, because it could be look, I mean, I am absolutely convinced, but this these are all allegations.
	This is this is she definitely lied.
	I'm I'm convinced that Kerry in no way uh got four uh got uh four medals for being wounded, yeah.
	And they kept him in Vietnam.
	He had wound he was wounded four times, and nothing ever happened to him, he never went to a hospital.
	He gets the purple heart four times, and he goes to he goes to Vietnam and he brings with him a camcorder when nobody even knew what a camcorder was, and he's taking pictures of himself.
	He's get taking pictures of himself.
	No, no, he'll...
	The way he looks, you know.
	And, you know, you remember the scandal when...
	Oh gosh, those poor those poor uh uh uh those poor uh uh uh people who came forward with the Swift boat scandal.
	Yeah, oh they were terrible, they were awful.
	No, they weren't, they were the ones who didn't lie.
	But now this is I mean, this isn't her against somebody telling a different version.
	This is her against her.
	One of these two stories is true, or something in the middle is true.
	You want my guess.
	I guess if she was caught cheating, And they let her graduate.
	And she had to go through these uh 254 days of uh what they uh uh uh euphemistically call honor remediation as punishment.
	And um, and then they decided okay, that's enough, and what we'll let her.
	And I think they did it as a practical matter because they were gonna lose 88 people and they want to lose 88 people.
	I think they made a mistake.
	I think the wonderful uh Naval Academy made a terrible mistake.
	None of these people should have ever been allowed to be officers of the United States Navy, ever.
	If it turns out that she was caught cheating, and they made her an officer of the United States Navy.
	That's a bot on the Navy, not just her.
	And she's a definitely a bot of the Navy, just from the two stories she's told.
	Also, you should know her two kids just got into the Naval Academy.
	Which is which is from a school that has never gotten anybody in the naval academy.
	Does she have some kind of in because she was a congressman?
	Her husband graduated from the Naval Academy, and he has some issue.
	I don't know what it is, but we'll leave her husband alone, right?
	Unless, unless it's like Pelosi's husband, we don't have to who picked up 400 million uh last year for her.
	Right.
	Oh, this is she also isn't she the one who made seven million, she doesn't know how has not explained it.
	That's the next question we gotta have Allison ask.
	Seven she picked up seven million last year, and she doesn't know how she did it.
	If we keep asking her, we'll probably get three other versions.
	Exactly.
	And you want her as a governor in New Jersey, really?
	Okay, she's not a communist, but is that the rule now?
	So have they stopped?
	Has Hamas stopped killing people?
	Or meaning, have they demilitarized or haven't they?
	I don't know.
	As of yesterday they hadn't, or rather this morning they had.
	I don't I don't know about the I don't know about the rest of the day.
	You know, no, can you repeat the question?
	Yeah, the question is is Hamas still slaughtering Palestinians.
	Our understanding is yes, they have um with and and by the way, it does appear that the American the Americans and Israelis are aware of this, and to a degree are allowing this to take place.
	Hamas is saying they are uh that this is necessary to uh restore order and and why should Hamas be restoring order?
	They're not gonna have anything to do with the government.
	That's what I don't get.
	The 20 points say that under no circumstances will Hamas ever have anything to do with the government, right?
	Whatever is put into place in that in Gaza.
	Now they are the they're running Gaza.
	If they're killing people with guns, they're running it.
	Yes, yes, and they also uh they also promise to demilitarize the opposite of demilitarizing is getting a gun.
	Yep, yep.
	So don't I mean it sounds like bullshit?
	It sounds like bullshit.
	They claim they this has to be done there.
	Um the people and in the compliant media is uh it's fine.
	Well, have somebody justifying it.
	They are they they're they're killing uh at least two different types of people that I can make out.
	Yes, they are killing probably other terrorist competing organizations, yes.
	They're also killing the people who demonstrated against them, the few Palestinians who can overcome being trained forever to kill people and are against them, so they're killing innocent people.
	But the sick media, right, mayor, they're up in arms.
	Whenever you know Israel uh kills a Palestinian, they're up in arms about it, no matter what.
	It's a it's a terrible thing.
	Now you have Hamas killing Palestinians, and the the media seems to be justifying it, uh, saying, well, this is part of what Hamas needs to do to restore order.
	It's just the little word, right?
	They use these words when they talk about it, right?
	They're they're almost justifying it.
	The agreement does not allow Hamas to restore order.
	It it allows Hamas to disband.
	They have to disband, they have to lay down their arms, reject Hamas, otherwise they get thrown out.
	What we're hearing is that Hamas is reasserting its power in Gaza.
	Okay, well, that's just the opposite of the agreement.
	Hamas is supposed to have nothing to do with Gaza.
	Experts say Hamas is attempting to reassert its authority, but members of three anti-Hamas militias told Sky News that Hamas has no intention of laying down its arms.
	Public executions, arson attacks.
	Two of them said it.
	Two of them said we're not laying down our arms.
	Right.
	So public executions, arson attacks, and gun battles have raised a specter of a slide into civil chaos as Hamas battles armed groups.
	It accuses of collaborating with Israel.
	The President Trump, of course, came out, came out yesterday.
	We reported on this and made it very clear that if Hamas continues to kill people in Gaza, which was not the deal, we will have no choice but to go in and kill them.
	Hamas says that they were uh we're take we're taking out the majed Dagmush clan.
	This is a clan, a family within now.
	Who knows if they are terrorists or opponents of Hamas?
	There are um opponents of Hamas in Gaza.
	And uh I'm gonna guess that's who they're focusing on.
	Hamas started entering hospitals, homes, uh, other places, uh telling folks that they were searching for collaborators.
	So collaborators and then people who were working with with uh with Israel.
	People that were, I mean no, Hamas is the you don't it's real simple.
	Yeah, they shouldn't have guns.
	Demilitarizing means no guns.
	But we all as and they should all be arrested immediately.
	There's an organization noted for students for justice in Palestine, and uh they are now uh and they are uh associated with Mandami.
	Uh he's met with them, uh, his own group, his own group, um his own group has invited them when he was at Bodwane College.
	Um they've also worked with his SDS group.
	And when he was there, when Mandadi was either the head of it or there at Bodwin, the group invited radical Professor Assad Abu Khalil, who called Israel a bigger terrorism threat than Hamas.
	And here's where I'm gonna this guy have a hard time meeting this guy, and claimed the U.S. brought the September 11 attacks on itself.
	He brought him to speak on campus.
	Jesus.
	Unacceptable.
	I mean the guy the guy has been he's a Jew hater and he's an American hater.
	And he's he's an associate of radical Islamic terrorist who advocate murder.
	This is a candidate for mayor of the greatest city in the world, or once the greatest city in the world.
	This is Students for Justice in Palestine, which supports Mandami for mayor.
	Right.
	Okay.
	But it just going back to the mayor's race.
	Of course, we had the first debate tonight.
	Is mayor, we keep hearing from people.
	I like Curtis Lewa, but he can't win.
	And sure, we're getting down to the wire here.
	But if people if every single person that we've heard say that actually supported Curtis, went out, talked to their fellow New Yorkers, engaged with fellow new New Yorkers to win them over.
	Wouldn't he have at least have a shot?
	With no voter turnout, right?
	What you need to do is mobilize new voters.
	Mamdami hasn't shown us that he's gonna try special.
	I'm gonna try if I can tonight, and partially among us.
	See, but I'll just watch it.
	Watch the debate, yeah.
	Yeah, and I'll give you, I'll give you my opinion if I think it turn votes.
	Okay.
	Yeah.
	Um I I think Dr. Maria is right from just a little bit that I saw.
	And you know what one of the things my uh mentors used to do, and uh both of them uh Ailes and and David Garth, they would often show me the debate afterwards with no sound.
	They said a lot of how you win win a debate is what you look like.
	Are you charming?
	Are you nice?
	Do they like you?
	They like you in the in your living room, particularly if they're gonna put you in an executive office.
	Likeability is much more important for an executive office than it is for a legislative office.
	You don't think of a legislator as your father, as your father figure, right?
	You do think of a mayor, a governor, or a president that way.
	That's a very good point.
	It's very it's very different, it's a very different position that you're running for.
	Um especially mayor of New York, if I might add.
	Yeah, you're you're the mayor of the city.
	So, in a way, I I said at the beginning, Mondami has to cool people down who are going crazy over him being a communist, or just cool him down a little.
	And he's got a sound, you should he should not you should get away from his positions and minimize them and just basically be a bullshit artist.
	Uh Cuomo Cuomo doesn't really have to prove he can govern.
	We know he can govern.
	In fact, maybe wrong, but he can govern.
	I mean, he'll understand the budget, he'll understand how the city government works, right?
	Uh he's got to overcome, first of all, the barrier of uh the old people that were killed in the in the nursing homes, uh, because many people believe he was responsible for it.
	And number two, um, the sex scandal, which I I always thought was a little a little bit exaggerated, to get him out.
	They were trying to do him a favor in a way.
	Get him out over that rather than the other thing he can go to jail for.
	Uh, and also they wanted him out.
	You have to understand that Andrew is not well liked within the Democrat Party, partially because of his father.
	Um can you get into the Como family secrets?
	That's okay.
	They're public family.
	Long time ago, I was told by several of their family friends that who were upset about this, that Mario didn't do Andrew any favors by bringing him into politics so young.
	Right.
	And making him the tough guy.
	Mario was a bit indecisive.
	And Mario was smart as hell.
	Uh for a Democrat, really.
	I say for a Democrat, honest, maybe honest thoroughly.
	Uh, but he was extremely indecisive to a fault.
	And um he wasn't really tough.
	Andrew was from the very beginning, as a 16-year-old.
	Andrew was out there doing his campaigns, and many and many of I shouldn't say many, a few people that were his friends that I got to know, said that uh as Mario got older, he even understood he he pushed Andrew too too too far.
	Got him involved too early.
	And so Andrew's got a lot of skeletons.
	He got a lot of people that he banged around and you know.
	It's funny, in my in my case, I was the tough guy, and Peter Powers would smooth it over.
	You were the good cop, bad cop.
	Yeah, I was the bad cop.
	Mayor Giuliani, nah.
	I never had a problem with it.
	If it's it's for the government.
	I mean, I have if you gotta be fired, you gotta be fired.
	I have a feeling people love working for you.
	I as maybe you let people go out and do it.
	But I had if I had to fire somebody, I'd fire them.
	Of course.
	I mean, it it it it wasn't it wasn't my business.
	If it was my business, there were times in which I probably would have kept somebody.
	I was just gonna say, you you you respected the role, the position too much, even if you you know wanted to err on the side of not firing somebody, you did it in that pit.
	On the other hand, if I thought somebody was falsely accused, or it was exaggerated.
	You stood up, I would exaggerate standing up for them.
	I I gave a guy who was found to have acted unethically who didn't, and they fined him 27,000.
	I gave him a 10,000 dollar raise, so over two years he could pay it.
	They wanted me at the times wanted me to fire him.
	I said, The hell are you?
	I'm not gonna fire him.
	See, in fact, he's one of the best commissioners I have.
	Look what he's done with welfare.
	And that's why you hate him because he's making people on welfare work.
	Since when did that become a crime?
	So I I can read the report.
	I can I can read the report from the uh in fact, every the three of the people who wrote this report used to work for me.
	So uh I disagree with them.
	That's what you call a that's the kind of guy you want to work for right here.
	I'm biased.
	I got I got I got elected, they didn't.
	So it's like Lincoln.
	So the cabinet's sitting there, and they all vote against something, 12-0, and Lincoln says we're gonna do it.
	Uh now I, yep, yep, good.
	I'm glad we had that vote.
	Now let's go ahead and do it.
	What he said, oh, did you think it was a democracy?
	I I didn't have you.
	I just wanted your opinions.
	You don't get to vote.
	I mean, you think you voted when you told me you're against it.
	Well, you did as advise me.
	You're wrong.
	I'm right, I'm the president.
	That's what we're gonna do.
	That's a president, right?
	Who can do something that who knows if any other president could have done, free the slaves.
	Well, just and ultimately keep the union together.
	Yeah, it was the United States of America and uh white men from the north who took a stand against slavery, who put everything on the line to end it.
	And white men, white white men from different parts of America, yes, for 200 years were anti-slavery.
	Right.
	I mean, so uh the early the ear the first the first settlers in the Massachusetts Bay colony were dead set against slavery, right?
	And religiously, yes, and so these uh they didn't understand it.
	Uh right so it was never it was never uh uh it was never an uh comfortably accepted uh position and it's um contradiction with the the religion that was the predominant religion, Christianity was apparent, and then Thomas Jefferson made it apparent that it was it was completely inconsistent with the principles of the United States, and he did it on purpose.
	And why he doesn't get credit for that, I have no idea.
	I mean, it it it if Thomas Jefferson had come out to free the slaves when he was 27 years old, which was a chance he was gonna do it, we never would have had the declaration of independence.
	We might not who knows if we had if we would have Louisiana.
	Uh the uh the United States uh Marines might not exist.
	Uh we wouldn't, we wouldn't have won the second war after the revolutionary war to show we were a power, and that's the Barbary Pirates.
	Yep.
	We were just a little shit-ass country, and they were taking our ships, and he said, You're not gonna take our ships, right?
	He was a guy that was against foreign wars, he was thought of as an isolationist, and he went over there, and that's why you have from the halls of Montezou, Uma to the shores of Tripoli, okay, and he's he set up in the Navy a uh a amphibious landing force that went over there and shocked the hell out of them because uh the Barbary pirates were like all those Muslims, they can't shoot straight, right?
	I mean, they the the guns go back this way, and Mohammed made them warriors, just how good we'll see.
	I mean, they seem to have a real problem with Israel.
	Yep.
	I mean, what what was the the seven day seven-day war?
	Right, they had every every Arab country in the world was fighting Israel, and they they took over the entire desert.
	Do you know from that time on I was opposed to Israel giving that back?
	I said, hey, yeah, I uh wait a second, where this is not fair.
	I was a kid, they won it.
	They want to fair and square, right?
	You invaded them, they kicked you out, and they kicked you back.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Now it's mine.
	Now you have to know in the declaration establishing Palestine.
	That was given to them.
	So they took back what was given to them that they ceded in 49 in order to settle the original war.
	But they never they never they never conceded that that was not part of the state of Israel.
	Yep.
	Well, I think we got everything that we need to do.
	Disney night, everything that we need needed to do.
	Um, I do, I do, I do, I do, I do think that we should point out that uh even though uh the president has done a good job of straightening out Washington and the policing there, they still have judge problems there.
	The guy, the guy the the two people, the male and female who uh who uh beat up remember Edward Big Balls Corestine, the doge guy.
	Uh the these people jumped on him and uh 10 10 10 people jumped on him and beat the living crap out of them, left with a broken nose, a female, a female companion uh was involved in it.
	Uh so two of them, the guy who led it and the woman were uh convicted, or they pleaded guilty.
	Judge Kendra D. Briggs gave uh one of them uh probation, the boy, and the girl was given a nine-month probation and remanded to a local youth shelter.
	Don't know what that means.
	I guess the shelter is not a prison.
	Exactly what it is, I don't know.
	It's because she's on probation.
	So they didn't go to jail, let's put it that way.
	And they beat this guy mercilessly, uh, only because he was a Republican.
	But that's okay in DC.
	Because I want to find out about Judge Kendra D. Briggs, and was she part of the persecution of the J6 people?
	Because that court is an abomination.
	Right.
	That court is an abomination to American justice.
	This is the one in DC.
	Yeah, we had to deal with.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	I mean, the way the way the New York Supreme Court, Manhattan, is crooked.
	Uh, this one is politically warped.
	They're warped.
	And they're worse.
	They're worse in a way.
	They're like um something that you would have seen in the Soviet Union or Nazi Germany.
	It's my eyes going there.
	Nothing like a it's nothing like a trial.
	And it made me sad, Mayor.
	I will say, going through that with you, because I think we are just yeah.
	By the time I went through it, I had heard enough from Cora and the people dealing with the J6 trials to know that these people were were people weren't Americans.
	Un-American.
	That's a great word.
	And you know, I come from Michigan, and that was a judge.
	And that woman that we had, Judge.
	Judge bloodthirsty.
	Absurd.
	Inappropriate.
	That's not yeah, just not how a judge is supposed to conduct themselves.
	So now now you now yeah you kind of get rewarded for beating up a uh uh a Trump person.
	That's what that's exactly what that's telling us.
	Well, we'll be back tomorrow.
	Uh we'll have a little more on get it.
	It takes a day to synthesize what everybody thinks and how it's gonna be spun.
	And remember, spinning it is important because a lot of people don't see it.
	Yep.
	Many more people will will have a conclusion about this debate based on what they're told about it.
	Right.
	And uh unfortunately they're probably not gonna be told the truth.
	That's why it's important to listen to us.
	Yes, and our colleagues.
	But I mean, I know I can give you the truth about it.
	I'll I'll let uh I take it seriously.
	Of course, and um and see if we can eke out some kind of chance to save the city that I still love very much, and feel very sorry for it, but don't quite understand.
	I don't understand the people.
	I don't understand how he's even standing there.
	It's like a joke.
	It's like like Saturday Night Live on steroids.
	Right.
	So let's pray that we really do have peace in Israel, huh?
	Let's pray for those people because uh there are a lot of good signs and there's some bad signs, right?
	Right.
	Uh tomorrow, uh, and we should have talked a little more about this.
	Tomorrow is gonna be a meeting of important one between the president and Zelensky.
	The president has had a long conversation with Putin.
	Um a lot has happened negative to Russia, uh, as far as their economy is concerned.
	Um just a mere banging around of India is pretty um devastating for Russia.
	I mean, you'd end the whole thing if China pulled the plug out.
	If China said, I'm not buying your oil either.
	It'd be old, it'd be over the next day.
	And it's not necessarily against China's interest to do that, by the way.
	This Russian escapade has not helped China.
	It's lost China allies that they were seeking to get.
	Lost them Germany.
	Like Russia.
	Russia has made themselves, you see, you see that the European uh Commission, European Commission is the executive branch of the European Union.
	They came out with a four-point defense plan.
	A very uh uh Europe has never done this before.
	You've got to credit this to our to our president who uh they all said was gonna destroy NATO.
	Uh uh, he's made NATO stronger than it's ever been.
	He's actually made NATO real, hasn't been real since the 1950s.
	And now what they're gonna do to compliment NATO, in addition to the 5% of GDP that they're gonna contribute to NATO, Ursula uh von der Lin, who is the president of the European Commission, had a big meeting, and they came up with a four-point program.
	The four four-point program is uh over the next three or four years, the European Commission, the executive branch of the European Union, is gonna do has a has a uh schedule and uh four initiatives and uh priorities.
	The first, the European drone defense program.
	They are going, they're going to attempt to do an iron dome uh uh uh Reagan defense against missiles against drones with the technology that detects drones and the technology that can interfere with the drones, and they are going to uh attempt to do that as a shield for all of Europe.
	That'd be very nice for us to buy, uh particularly if they do it.
	We're trying to do the same thing.
	So I'm sure we'll work with each other.
	There they are also going to do the eastern flank watch initiative.
	What that means is real simple, they're gonna put lots of troops on the eastern flank.
	That means on the Russian border.
	Uh, because they're they're not taking a chance to hear us and try to waltz into Lithuania, Latvia, uh you pick it.
	Uh basically this they're saying to him, you want to have war.
	Screw around.
	Uh they are then going to do the European air shield, which I assume is gonna borrow a lot from our Golden Dome, and the European Space Shield, which I also assume is going to work closely with what we're doing.
	Now, they do have priorities.
	The eastern flank, the number the number one, the number one priority they want to get done within a year, is at least the beginnings and and a pretty substantial drone wall.
	Uh 360-degree approach, multi-layered technologically advanced system with interop uh interoperable counter-drone capabilities for detection, tracking, and neutralization.
	That's that's get ahead of the curve.
	The eastern flank, so that's gonna that they're hoping to have that uh starting to operate within uh year and a half, and they're gonna put it out as they get it.
	They're not gonna wait until it's all complete.
	The eastern flank is a similar priority program, and they're just gonna start Implementing it, they think it'll take two years to really uh uh do that, and it's a set of ground defense systems with maritime security, air defense, counter-drone systems, troops, the Baltic and Black Seas.
	A little further down the road, which means a year, a year, two years from now, are the other two, the other two uh uh programs, which is the air shield and the space shield.
	And they very simply say militarized Russia poses a persistent threat to European security for the foreseeable future.
	This was created by Putin.
	I mean, this is uh uh devastating for him.
	Right.
	He's not a big country, he's not a rig uh rich country.
	This this is the second richest uh entity in the world after the United States, not China, European Union.
	And this will all be done in close cooperation with the uh with NATO.
	And um they expect it, they expect the drone wall to start right away, but to be operational by 2027, and the Eastern Flying Defenses to be fully functional by 2028.
	So they're not sitting on their backsides, and this is to the credit of two men.
	Our president, and Vladimir Putin.
	Again, pray for Ukraine, Israel, Iran, my poor city, with a communist running.
	My almost city, New Jersey, with a lying cadet running.
	Who doesn't know how she made seven million?
	How's she gonna do the budget?
	She doesn't know where the seven million came from.
	And tomorrow we'll get to Virginia.
	They got a real loser down there and Spamberger, too.
	And and and the guy who fantasizes the attorney general, Democratic China, who fantasizes babies being killed.
	Could could the Democrat Party get any worse?
	Yes.
	So we'll see you tomorrow night.
	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 seeking 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.
