Time Text
Good evening.
This is Rudy Giuliani, and this is the Rudy Giuliani show.
The day after elections that one could say were very, very important, very determinative, shocking?
No. A big Democrat victory, say the lying Democrats.
How could it be a big lying, a big Democrat victory if it was in every Democratic states and cities?
I will say, if you want to make a small point of it, you can't.
And the small point that you can make is they actually, this is strange.
It seems to me all the Democrats won by a little more than the polls indicated, which is rare.
Usually polling under polls Republicans and over polls Democrats.
And this time, when we look at the results here, we're going to see the opposite, which is, I don't know exactly what we make of that, but we'll make something of it.
But to say this was a big blue wave, I don't know if you win your own states, is that a big wave?
So if Republicans were to win in Mississippi and in Florida and in, let's pick another one, Alabama.
And we won two governor's races and a mayor's race.
Well, let's see.
In New Jersey, we haven't had a Republican win the presidential election.
I don't even remember.
I can't remember the last Republican to win New Jersey.
Maybe Bush won there.
I don't know.
In New York City, well, I mean, New York City, you're getting ridiculous, right?
So we looked at there, and there have been 111 mayors of New York City.
Nine have been Republican.
How many years is that, dead?
About 250 years.
Big wave, big blue wave.
Democrats win New York.
Socialists win New York.
It is a little strange that a communist won New York and an Islamic sympathizer.
And then in Virginia, which of course has been has gone Democrat in every election since Bush, before Bush, each place, The result was predicted.
True.
Spanberger won, I'd say, pretty much on target with the polls.
And the lying cadet from the Naval Academy won by more, considerably more than the poll.
Not considerably, but more, a bit of a shock.
Mamdani won by a couple points more than every poll had him.
I mean, the only shock was the guy who was talking about killing his Republican leader in the legislature and his children, and he won.
Now, he won by less than Spanberger, but he won still by a reasonable margin, a discernible margin of six or seven percent.
So let's first do away with the notion that this was a big blue wave.
It was a election came out as expected, as the polls expected, with albeit slightly larger margins for two of the Republicans, two of the Democrats.
And that the Democrats can take some comfort in, I guess, right?
And they should.
And the main thing is they won, Republicans lost.
Republicans certainly wanted to win, but you can't call this like a big shocking thing.
So the first thing we want to look at is to is to maybe the first thing we want to look at is Mamdani's speech, since this isn't ready yet, but we'll go with Mamdani's speech.
We have the board ready.
Oh, but the board isn't ready.
We have screenshots on the well, the first thing I was going to do with the polls.
We can do it if you want.
Well, then let's go to the polls and let's show what the results were, what the results were.
It's on the screen right here.
Sorry.
Okay, see, but I can't see that screen, Teddy.
First of all, it's too small.
And secondly, the camera's in the way.
Sorry, we have to say this, but there's no other way to do this.
So I have no idea what it says on that screen, but now you all see it.
So I'm going to guess at what it says.
It says that that's the final result.
Mondani has about 50 plus percent.
Cuomo, so he beats Cuomo by 10 points, really.
Nine.
And he beats Sliwa by several football fields.
The first thing you can say, and they were all ready to do this, right?
You can't blame Sliwa for the loss.
If you took all of Sliwa's votes and you stuck it under Cuomo, Mamdani would have won by 1%.
He still would have won.
Once he hits 50%, well, then he beat everybody and they could have, Cuomo could have teamed up with Sliwa and 10 other people, and he wasn't going to get past 49%.
And Sliwa could have paired up with any number of people.
He wasn't going to get beyond 49%.
That is a bit of a shock.
The latest poll, I think the one we used last night.
Well, we got some up, put up, cut too.
I don't know which one we're going to use.
Is the Atlas poll or no?
It's the average, and I can list them off for you since you.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Tell me, what was the number on that poll here?
What was the number on that poll?
Oh, these are the different polls?
That's what's up there.
That's the average of the New York City Mayor.
So Mamdani ended up with 50%.
His average was 46.
The Atlas poll was 44.
The Emerson poll was 50.
So Emerson poll wins the prize, right?
The Fox poll was three off, 47.
The Maris poll was two off, 48.
Quinnipiak was 43 or 7 off.
The Suffolk poll was 44.
That's six off.
The Manhattan Institute was 46.
That's four off.
And Victory Insights was 47.
So there really was just one, the Hill Emerson, that had it right.
Yeah.
And it led to many, many columns saying he wasn't going to break 50%.
So, I mean, this is what happens with polling.
There's no doubt about it.
Unusual, it happens the other way around almost all the time.
This is quite, quite, I mean, that's quite rare.
And the same thing will hold true for the other, for the other elections.
Virginia.
Let's go to Virginia next.
Virginia was supposed to be a tight race.
Virginia was also a race that I did think I was not surprised with the Mamdani result, and neither was anybody else in the world.
But I did think that Jack Citarelli had a decent chance of overcoming the lead.
I thought it for a couple of reasons.
First of all, he had come closer before.
In fact, he slipped a lot from where he was four years ago.
I thought she was a very, very damaged candidate with her being a multiple admitted liar about something very important, her cheating at the Naval Academy.
I mean, if somebody cheats at the Naval Academy, question whether she should have been in the Navy at all, if that were some kind of DEI decision.
And number two, what the hell is she doing in Congress, much less being governor?
So we're doing New Jersey.
Since, yeah, well, yeah.
Okay.
So since she had lied about that over and over and for many years, I just thought the people in New Jersey were smart enough to say, well, we don't want to liar like that.
She's a disgrace to the Naval Academy.
And then, of course, she would never release her records, which aren't her records.
What's she going to do with the governor?
Not release her records either?
Of course not.
She's a Democrat.
She doesn't have to release her records.
And I really don't know.
Pete, I don't know why you didn't put them out.
Where does she have a right to say my record, my disciplinary records at West Point are private?
She's an officer of the United States Navy.
Her education was paid for by the citizens of the United States.
She's going to perform an enormously important public function.
It's in no way a private university.
So how does she get to say, you're not going to see my records?
And the fact is, we know we can't see her records because there's something bad there.
I mean, if that were you and your record showed that you didn't cheat, there was some screw up, and that's why you had to wait Three quarters of a year to get in the Navy, and you weren't being punished, which is what all your classmates say, then your record would show it, and you could say, ha ha ha to everybody.
Right.
Like I do when I get proven right about things, right?
Right.
When the records come out pretty soon about Georgia, I'll be able to say that about Georgia.
I told you a long time ago that Georgia was fixed.
She was leading all the polls, if we look.
Yeah, she was.
She was leading in all the polls.
But again, she won by more, right?
Right.
Am I correct about that?
Did she win by more?
Well, let's, well, yeah.
Put up the if you watch nothing again shortly, put up seven on the screen.
She ended up at 56%.
Cut seven.
She never did better than 50% in any poll.
She ended up with 56.3.
So she did 6.3.
She did 6.3% better than the highest poll.
No, I'm sorry.
There was a 52% Fox News poll for her.
Cut eight.
Let's shut the polling average back up if we can.
Cut eight.
And Chitterelli slipped by there was no, there was one poll that had him at 42.
That was the Suffolk poll.
But she was only at 46.
So, I mean, assuming that was that was a while ago, right?
Obviously, they broke at the end for her.
Right.
I mean, these polls had a tighter race than, I mean, you go back just a few days ago, and it was a one-point race, Dad.
A two-point race.
I'm sorry, 40.
No, one point.
45, 44 at Trafalgar.
Right.
Two, one point with some other one that I can't read.
Another three points, seven points.
Right.
Four points.
Six points.
I mean, and ultimately it's a 13-point win.
That's a big, that's a landslide.
Right.
Given the nature of that state, which is, yes, a Democrat state, but Trump did better than Chitterelli did there.
I think Trump was in single digits in that state.
And Virginia, Trump also did better, but he lost, but he did better.
Virginia was not as much of a surprise with regard to Spanberger.
I think she pretty much came out where they had her.
Let's take a look at that too.
If you could turn that around, I'll be able to see that.
She ended up with a polls, yes.
And she and she quite a bit, if you look at the map, right?
If you look at the numbers.
Yeah.
She ended up at.
Can you put up the election results?
She ended up.
I mean, she actually, but didn't you think that 57, 42?
It's almost essentially the same results as Cheryl.
But didn't you think that Cheryl was going to not do as well as her?
Yeah, we thought Spanberger would do better.
No, no, no, no.
Spanberger did about just exactly right.
Spanberger, Spanberger.
Well, oh, you're saying she now go back to the polling if we can put up cut four.
So she ended up with 57.
Yeah, she was polling in the land.
She was polling about.
Well, her average was 52.9.
She ended up at 57.2.
But the most important thing is the gap between them, the gap between them does not make a 14-point victory unusual.
There's a couple there that were 10, 10, 10, 15, 12.
The point that I'm making is Spanberger's on target.
Van Berger, the polls are absolutely right.
Vote credit the polls.
They were short on Mamdani and they were short on Cheryl.
Now we get to the race that, aside from Mamdani, is probably the weirdest.
And that's the guy who dreams about or thinks about or texts about killing Republicans.
The Attorney General's race.
Which I really have to tell you how much the people in Virginia who are Democrats must hate us.
It's okay if you fantasize about killing us and our children.
Right.
And of course, they didn't get terribly upset when the guy was hanging around to try to kill, was it Justice Kavanaugh, right?
Right.
So he's up now.
So now this Jones guy.
He's up six points, 5246.
And this Jones guy sounds like he belongs, you know, on a couch.
This is the guy that texted out that he would like to see, I think it was the leader of the legislature now out of office.
He'd like to see him dead.
And when pushed by the person he was communicating with, do you really mean that?
He said, absolutely.
I mean, if I had a choice between Hitler, Pol Pot, and this particular Republican, I'd rather see him and his children dead.
Right.
And Jones was leading the polling at the end.
Yes, I know.
He was leading.
I guess I'm saying his win is shocking.
His win is shocking.
And it's a good win.
It's 52.46.
I mean, that's almost a six-point win.
Right.
Explain to me that it's not a screwed up political party.
Or they don't pay attention.
Or they are, as I said in my clip that I put out today, they're brainwashed.
Right.
I don't care who you are.
You don't vote for somebody who just don't vote then.
If you can't vote Republican, then don't vote.
But how do you, how do you, how do you square with your conscience voting for a guy who it's really strange.
The whole state is red and it's those few little blue places that I give them a 6.1, but it's true everywhere, isn't it?
If elections were done on geography, we would have 80% of the Congress, right?
If we assign seats based on geography, not population, Republicans would dominate.
Who knows?
If we dominated like that for as long as, let's say, the people in New York and Chicago do, we might be as crooked as they are.
I don't know.
Maybe it's a function of, like in New York, they've dominated for 170 years and they're, well, they have 170 years of being crooked.
I wasn't in New York.
Did we talk to anybody in New York to see?
Was there a large movement?
I mean, noticed from the cemeteries, people getting out of the graves and voting yesterday in New York, do you know?
I mean, every year.
Every couple of years.
In the New York City elections, it's amazing how well the Democrats do.
You know, they run their percentages with blacks and with Hispanics and with whites and with women, but they never run the percentage of dead people.
How many, what percentage of dead people voted for the Democrats?
What percentage of dead people voted for Republicans?
You know why?
Why?
Because nobody votes for Republicans.
Dead people just don't like Republicans.
Well, not surprised at the results.
TD bit surprised at the margins 4-2.
despite the fact that I'm not surprised at the results, I'm shocked by them and very disillusioned about my former fellow citizens of New York, who I think I literally gave my right arm for.
I used to, instead of calling cops racists and pigs and like the present, soon to be mayor has done, I used to keep my clothes near my bed because I knew the cops were in danger of being killed any night in New York City and I wanted to be there at their bedside.
I wanted to be there to make sure they got the best medical treatment because I knew the mayor could assure that.
I wasn't going there to be a Mandami jerk around.
I was going there because there's a specific value that I could add to it.
I mean, more than a few times, I mean, it was more than a few times that I brought in a doctor from elsewhere based on the recommendation of my police surgeons.
They would say, no, no, this operation, there's a guy at, let's say, at New York Presbyterian, and he is the best at this kind of surgery.
And we got a little time.
So, you know, now the value of being the mayor is I call up the doctor and send a police car.
How about a helicopter?
I send a helicopter.
He's in Westchester.
I did that for my police officers.
I did that for my firefighters.
I did it for my teachers.
But I specifically went out of my way for the ones who are putting their lives at risk.
Look, it's a hell of a thing they do.
You owe them something.
This Islamic extremist supporter of violent Islamics hates the cops.
He says he's not going to follow up on his career of supporting, debunking, defunding the police.
However, he really is by creating this social workers giant unit that's going to go out and do police work with domestic violence and with what else is he going to have them interfere in?
But whatever the hell else are they going to interfere in?
What that will result in is those numbers to create that will come out of the police department.
Plus, this isn't a question of defunding the police.
They already have.
There's a billion dollars less in the police budget than there was a couple of years ago, never put back.
And okay, let's count the numbers.
I had 41,000.
They have 33,000.
And you tell me how he's going to get recruits, unless we're going to get Islamic extremists who support Imams like he does, who were unindicted co-conspirators in the bombing case of 1993.
He makes it very, very clear that in the divide on the Muslim religion, he's on the violent side because the people he supports are all on the violent side.
They take Muhammad seriously and literally.
Muhammad has told them to kill Jews and to kill Christians and to eliminate the infidels or take extortion from them.
And those are the ones that he supports, not the moderate Muslims who are very much against that.
The Imam being just one of many, many, many, many examples of that kind of behavior.
So let's look at his speech.
Let's look at his speech from last night because this is really amazing.
You know, he knew he was going to win for quite some time.
So we can't write this off as the guy had to quickly put a speech together.
And I don't know if he was humble enough to do this, but every time I ran, I had two speeches ready.
I had the victory speech and I had the concession speech.
I have to say, not the third time.
The third time was the question of how much I was going to win by, not whether I was going to win.
And I figured I could wing a concession speech if I had to.
At that time, I had only given about 4,000 speeches.
Yeah, we're ready when you are.
But I bet this arrogant little kid didn't have a concession speech ready.
I can just look at him and I can tell what a kind of an arrogant asshole he is.
But let's listen to this because this is like the first sign and very important one.
He's going to be a terrible mayor.
We have won because New Yorkers have stood up for a city they can afford.
A city where they can do more than just struggle.
One where those who toil in the night can enjoy the fruits of their labor in the day.
Where hard work is repaid with a stable life.
Where eight hours on the factory floor or behind the wheel of a cab is enough to pay the mortgage.
It is enough to keep the lights on.
It is enough to send your kid to school.
Where rent-stabilized apartments are actually stabilized.
Where buses are fast and free.
Where child care doesn't cost more than CUNY.
And where public safety keeps us truly safe.
If there is any way to terrify a despot, it is by dismantling the very conditions that allowed him to accumulate power.
I'm so obsessed with this guy.
This is not only how we stop Trump, it's how we stop the next one.
How did Donald Trump accumulate power?
Capitalism.
He accumulated power by making money, by creating businesses, by building, you know, New York.
A lot of New York was built by Donald Trump.
So that's how he accumulated power.
So what he's saying.
Well, thank you, Glenn.
We have one more clip of Trump.
You're not saying Trump, you're saying Mandami.
Yeah, Mandami talking about Trump.
And saying, pay attention, whatever.
Listen to us.
Yeah, we'll check it.
Let's check it before and make sure it's the right clip.
That's the only one I really want.
Okay, okay.
Okay, so we think we have the right one.
If anyone can show a nation betrayed by Donald Trump how to defeat him, it is the city that gave rise to him.
And if there is any way to terrify a despot, it is by dismantling the very conditions that allowed him to accumulate power.
This is not only how we stop Trump, it's how we stop the next one.
So Donald Trump, since I know you're watching, I have four words for you.
Okay.
Now, I have never seen a mayor on an acceptance speech attack the incumbent president.
It is a egotistical, stupid, childish, selfish, an entirely ineffective thing to do.
Since, sorry, since he since he depends on the president and the federal government for a great deal of his resources.
I mean, government programming is, well, the state and city, the state and federal government are about half of the city budget, and the other half is produced by the city, something like that.
So this is about 25% of his budget, maybe more now.
It's probably gone up.
I'm talking about when I was the mayor.
And you say, well, the president can't stop the money.
He can't stop the.
Mamdani, are you really a child or just just an arrogant asshole who can't learn?
Do you realize that probably if the president asked me to, he asked me to do it, I could cut half your programs in a week.
And I could do it by showing the fact that you haven't sent in the audits on time.
Some programs haven't been audited in years.
Requests for audits go.
You haven't answered all the questions.
You haven't.
I mean, if we started playing bureaucrat, because you're taking over a city that's entirely corrupt, and almost all of those programs allow the federal government to halt them immediately for an audit.
And the president would be well advised to do that because the city is so crooked.
I mean, do you really not get the fact that it's crooked?
The budget of New York is the same as the budget of Florida.
Well, now, that's a very, very dramatic comparison that you just don't get if I just say it that way.
So New York City is accumulating the money to service 8 million people with the help of the city and the state.
I mean, the state and the federal government doing their things, right?
The federal government doesn't get, I mean, the state government doesn't get the same kind of help, except for the federal government, not from the city.
So Florida has a budget that is the same as the budget of New York City, about 120 billion, something like that.
Florida has 21 million people.
New York has less than half of that, which means its budget should be at least half of Florida's.
It's not.
It's the same.
Why?
They really produce more services.
Their schools are worse.
New York's are that money is the price you're paying for New York corruption.
It's the fact that if New York is going to do a homeless program, it's going to spend twice as much as someplace else.
You start doing comparisons of contracts, even with the same company, and New York will be paying 30% more, 50% more.
And they build it in in order to create room for kickbacks.
It is true of, I'm not going to say every program, probably true of more programs than not.
All you'd have to do is focus on those programs because the records are horrendous and hold them up.
And the president can do that in a second.
You want New York to succeed.
You want as good a relationship as you can have with him.
And it offends the hell out of me because that's exactly what I did when I became mayor.
The first thing I did is make friends with Bill Clinton.
And I think if you looked at my eight years as mayor, you'd find we had only one dispute, and that was over a line-item veto, where they took $250 million from us.
And with the support of the Democratic senator, Daniel Patrick Moynihan, we sued Clinton and we won.
And I'm fine.
Clinton and Clinton, to his credit, didn't hold it against us.
We did what he would have done when he was governor.
But that's the kind of relationship that we had, a professional relationship.
And believe me, you can have that relationship with Trump.
People do.
But you're a jackass, among other things.
I mean, not only are you a socialist, a communist and an Islamic extremist sympathizer, you're a stupid, immature child with a massive ego that you can't control.
So you got to go out there and lecture the president who's got you.
He's got your citizens like this.
See?
Be nice to him.
You get a lot more out of them.
If I had done that with Bill Clinton, it would have taken a year to fix that relationship.
Plus, if I had done that to Bill Clinton, I'd have been ripped apart the next day by all the Democratic ass-sucking newspapers for being a horrible mayor.
You know, I didn't go greet him at an airport once and I had a headline what a terrible mayor I was.
Made sure I went and greeted him at the airport.
I didn't know I had to.
I had no idea the mayor greeted the president at the airport and I didn't.
I was going to see him later in the day.
And the Times and the Daily News in particular, the Post, you know, never really cared much for Clinton.
So we'll take a short break and we'll be right back.

This is Rudy Giuliani back with you on the Rudy Giuliani show.
So Allison.
We'll get back to the election.
I think enough time has been spent on the election itself.
And when we come back to the subject, we'll talk about where we go now in the future.
But we have Allison with us who had another.
Allison, you're getting to be a terror there in Washington.
But I see you coming.
I think they run away now.
I think you're right, Mr. Mayor.
They do.
I'm actually not really getting called on much these days, so I have to go track them down myself.
You look like such a nice person.
I mean, you act like such a nice person, but they're really afraid of you.
Tell us, tell us.
I want to see the Jeffries one in particular.
Yes.
Well, to preface all of this, we are on day 36 now of the Democrat shutdown.
Democrats have now voted 15 times to keep the government shut down because they refused to pass the clean, nonpartisan continuing resolution, which is actually set to expire here.
The end date on that was November 21st, which is rapidly approaching here.
So lots of scrambling happening within Congress.
But basically, we're at this point now where the impasse has been going for so long.
President Trump is now actually calling for an all-out nuclear option.
He wants to just do away with the filibuster entirely.
We've heard from Leader Thun that there's probably not enough votes to get that done.
He said maybe 15 senators as of now would be on board with that.
So whether or not they could actually push the nuking of the filibuster through is still yet to be determined.
A lot of talks are being had about that.
But now we're also hearing from Leader Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries on the Democrat side, who are now wanting to, they're actually demanding to meet with President Trump.
They sent him a letter earlier today where they say they need to meet with him immediately to discuss the Republican shutdown and the Republican health care crisis.
And, you know, I just had to ask him.
I hunted Hakeem Jeffries down today because I had to know, please tell us, Mr. Jeffries, how exactly this is a Republican health care crisis when Democrats created Obamacare and it passed without a single Republican vote.
Let's take a listen to what he had to say.
You've repeatedly called this a Republican health care crisis, but can you explain how this is a Republican health care crisis when Obamacare passed without a single Republican vote?
It's obvious the largest cut to Medicaid in American history, which was part of the Republican One Big Ugly Bill.
As a result of that, hospitals, nursing homes, and community-based health clinics are closing all across America.
That's directly tied to Republican policies.
The country is facing a $536 billion cut to Medicare, which will be the largest cut in American history to Medicare if Congress doesn't act by the end of the year.
That's directly tied to the Republican One Big Ugly Bill.
Hospitals, nursing homes, community-based health centers closing all across the country.
14 million people about to lose health insurance because of the Republican cuts to Medicaid.
By the way, after Donald Trump promised to love and cherish Medicaid, and then Republicans cut it by almost a trillion dollars, and now Republicans are refusing to extend the Affordable Care Act tax credits, and tens of millions of people, including their own constituents, are about to experience dramatically increased premiums, co-pays, and deductibles.
So, just one lie after the next, and he actually repeated himself like three different times there.
But I just want to actually debunk some of what he's saying there, just so the viewers are very clear.
He said that it's ridiculous.
And it's the same thing from them time and time again.
They can never just answer the question honestly.
It's always this, you know, some form of deflection.
But he said that Republicans created the largest cut to Medicaid in history.
Well, guess what, Hakeem Jeffries?
That was actually anti-fraud measures that were included in the One Big Beautiful bill.
All the cuts that were made to Medicaid were getting illegals off of the program.
It was getting able-bodied American citizens back to work.
So, the largest Medicaid cut he's referring to was the anti-fraud measures included in the One Big Beautiful bill.
So, that's fake news.
He also says hospitals are closing, but totally failed to mention the fact that within the $1.5 trillion spending package that Democrats are demanding, there is $50 billion included in that that they are demanding be cut from rural hospitals.
So, if they want to talk about closure of hospitals, they should point the finger back to themselves because they're demanding $50 billion be cut from rural health care.
So, that's disturbing.
Also, I would like to add that the COVID-era Obamacare subsidies that the Democrats created, they put an end date on that.
So, those are set to expire at the end of this year.
They knew that when they did this, and now they're somehow trying to blame Republicans.
So, all in all, the entire Obamacare system was created by Democrats, passed by Democrats.
Not a single Republican voted for it again.
And it can't stay afloat.
It can't continue to function without COVID-era spending levels, which is emergency-level funding that never should have been in place ever in the first place.
But here we are now with those ridiculously high levels of spending.
We've got to get rid of the waste, fraud, and abuse.
And this would be a great place to start.
We actually just need a full reform of the healthcare system in its entirety because, as we know, Obamacare has done nothing.
The Affordable Care Act is anything but affordable, and Americans truly are suffering as a result of it.
So, we got to rework the system from the ground up here.
And we need Democrats to actually do their job for once.
I mean, what he fails to point out is that all of this can be debated between now and the end of the year.
They could stay there until New Year's Eve and debate it if they did something like, what do we call it, work?
But since they don't like to work, this would never be part of a continuing resolution.
I mean, we've done 13 of them since the government was shut down last, and they didn't contain new substantive measures or new spending, which is what you so and they were ready to vote for what they're voting against now four months ago.
This was all an election attempt, and everything you mentioned is completely illegitimate spending on illegal aliens for people who are working, who actually could get health insurance.
They decide not to take it.
They decide to take Medicaid.
They're not supposed to.
For people who could work, they're not supposed to get Medicaid.
For people who are anonymous, and then there are people who have it multiple times, there are people who have it multiple times.
There are people that are collecting.
More than they're dead.
Don't forget about the dead people.
How can I?
Yesterday was election day.
The Democrats really did very well with the dead vote yesterday.
I think it was 100% to nothing.
So I don't get it.
What do you think about the president doing away with the nuclear option?
He made a very, very wise statement about it earlier that I heard.
He said he would like to do that, but he also respects the senators, appreciates how much they've helped him, and doesn't want to shove it down their throat.
It isn't worth the price of my relationship with him, he said.
So it's certainly a very interesting development.
And, you know, I've sort of been trying to decide how I personally feel on it.
You know, I've talked to a lot of Republican senators about this, and they've all said they're very apprehensive about nuking the filibuster just because, you know, it is a long-standing rule that is in place for a reason.
There's safeguards around it.
Speaker Johnson himself said that if we were to nuke it, it would sort of pave the way for a Marxist takeover.
But then you have to look at the other side and remember that if and when Democrats are ever in power again, they wouldn't hesitate for even a second to go ahead and nuke the filibuster.
So if they're going to play dirty, then maybe we should beat them at their own game.
Maybe it's time to just go ahead and do it.
I know, again, it is in place for a reason and it allows for various protections within the Senate, but we have a very important America First agenda that we need to get through.
And if we don't utilize this very brief moment of time wisely, then we may never have this opportunity again.
So, maybe it is time to go ahead and nuke it and beat Democrats at their own game.
Yeah, I kind of tend to agree with that too, but very close.
You know, very, very close.
You could change my mind.
You could change my mind about it.
I can see what the senators are worried about, having lived through Obama and Biden and a couple of times when they had control.
But I can also see what you're saying.
And I kind of think you got to take your opportunities when you have them.
And you are absolutely right.
They're sneaky and dishonest enough to turn this on us.
I thought they were going to do it last time.
They came very close to doing the nuclear option last time on judges.
Then we fixed it.
But well, thank you very, very much, Allison.
Good job.
Thank you so much, Mr. Mayor.
We'll see what happens.
Who are you going to haunt tomorrow?
Who are you going after tomorrow?
We'll see.
It'll be a couple of names.
Yeah, Ted and I have a couple of favors, right?
Ted?
Yeah.
Great job, Allison.
All right.
Send him over.
Thanks, Mr. Mayor.
Thank you very much.
I'm serious about that.
I mean, she really is becoming a great job.
She's becoming a Republican or conservative, intelligent version of Acosta.
And much more civil in the way she does it.
Right?
Right.
So let's see.
What else do we have?
We we have to take a look.
And it probably is not particularly useful right at this moment to really predict what's going to happen and what the implications of it are and to do some kind of a think piece about it the day after.
Preliminary thoughts would probably be better.
And then at some point, as soon as I feel like we have enough information, we'll do something really serious on where we think things are going.
I mean, he doesn't get started until January 1st.
He doesn't get started dismantling the city and trying to make it trying to make it a communist city.
I wish we would drop this socialist crap.
I mean, the things that he's doing are the things that happen in a communist country.
The only difference is it's hard to make, it's hard to recreate in a city the same dictatorship that you would have in a country, because people have options in a city, right?
And the options are to leave.
So when he says, I'm going to tax the rich, which he defines the way he'd like to define it, particularly the rich have options, go are to get the hell out of there.
Now, it is possible that you may have some incredibly rich people whose businesses are tied up in New York in such a way, like the New York Yankees, right?
The New York Yankees are going to have to pay whatever he says the New York Yankees have to pay.
The New York Yankees can't move to Florida.
Well, I mean, they can, but they better not.
They can't move to Florida.
But we're talking about no more than maybe 20%, maybe even 10%.
So the group that he wants to attack is the single most mobile group in the city, the rich.
Second, whether you like it or not, they're the only ones paying the bills.
For the city to run stupid child, you got to have money.
So let's think about where you get your money.
Well, you get it from the federal government, and you just insulted the guy who has discretion over that.
Doesn't mean he can cut you off completely, but boy, he can cut you a lot.
And maybe you can go to court, but you know, I don't know if I'd want to have the federal government taking a good look at how New York City programs are run.
In fact, gee, maybe you'd appoint me.
I mean, for me, it would be like a weekend work to catch you guys.
I mean, did it twice before?
Did it as an assistant U.S. attorney and his U.S. attorney?
And you're more crooked now than you were then.
I know that.
I mean, I 100% know it.
I'd love to do an investigation of the judiciary.
It would be like shooting.
What do you shoot in the barrel?
Fish.
Shooting fish in a barrel.
Yeah.
Other things.
Yeah, other things.
No.
I won't say shoot.
Shoot is a bad word.
It would be like, I don't know.
It would be like tackling big fat people who can't run.
That might be hard, though.
No, if they can't run, you can take them down by the legs.
So he's doing the best that he can to alienate the president and put the president in a situation where he'll give you what he has to, but why should he go out of his way for you?
And there's a big gap there.
There's a big gap.
And as a person who was in the opposite side of that, a Republican having to deal with a Democratic president and did it magnificently well.
I am so offended by you.
You can't imagine.
I'm offended by you so many things, but this indicates how ill-prepared you are for this job.
What a stupid little child you are.
Spoiled little brat.
And I'm also telling you, this is what happens to Democrats and why they never perform in government.
They don't get held accountable.
So immediately he should have been attacked for that by all the press.
I take myself back to the night I was elected mayor.
If I did that to Bill Clinton, I think even the Republican newspaper, the Post, would have said, Giuliani, stop being an asshole.
You need the guy.
But it's different for a Democrat.
And therefore, it makes you incompetent because you're not held accountable.
And that's why we look at every city in America run by you guys and 90% of them have fallen apart.
And New York City is one of the worst and it's going to get worse.
The real question is, how much of this is he going to do?
How much is he going to try to do?
How much is he going to accomplish?
It's two different things, right?
So you take a person like Ed Koch.
Ed Koch was elected in 1977.
It was unbelievably difficult year for New York.
It was the year of the Son of Sam.
It was the year of the burning of the, in fact, there's a six-part HBO series called The Burning of the Bronx.
It was the year of the Bronx burning.
And you know why the Bronx was burning?
Of course, New York corruption.
People were burning it for insurance.
They were burning it down for insurance.
Burn it down, collect on your insurance because nobody would buy it because people were getting killed left and right.
Because we had, well, first of all, we had John Lindsay, who became a Democrat halfway through and was as bad as any Democrat mayor has ever been.
And then we had Abe Beam, who was a little like Biden.
I mean, Abe Beam seemed like he didn't know his way to City Hall.
Right.
And he was, and so, what happens to a Democrat in New York if you don't know the way to City Hall?
Everybody else does.
The thousands of Democratic crooks do, and they steal your blind.
So Ed Koch was probably one of the most liberal members of Congress.
In fact, he was a bit of a joke.
And you're going to have to come to X. I'm not going to finish this by saying Ed Koch was a joke when he was actually a very good mayor, because I'm going to explain to you how he changed as mayor.
But I don't see that in the cards for this guy.
So you go over to X now, and we'll continue in a few minutes.
And I'll explain to you the surprise of Ed Koch and how that is not in the cards for Mr. Mamdani, at least not right now.
So let's pray for my citizens, please.
They got hurt the most with this election, meaning New York City.
