America's Mayor Live (796): Eight Democrat Senators Cave, Creating Pathway to Reopen the Government
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
Welcome to America's Mayor Live on the 250th anniversary of the United States Marines and the day before Veterans Day, which I did get to celebrate today.
I came right from that celebration.
And that's why I'm dressed like that.
That's why I'm dressed like this.
And also in honor of the Marines in particular for today.
And then we'll find something similar to this for the marriage to honor all of our veterans.
All of them.
Right.
Thank you for giving us our freedom.
We do not take it for granted.
We understand the price that has to be paid.
And now I want to show you before I forget.
It took me a minute, Mayor, to relif.
If you didn't tell us what we're looking at, you might not know.
There's a Christmas tree that goes in front of Rockefeller Center, 30 Rock, and over the skating rink that's so iconic.
And it's going to go up on December 3rd.
And with the new mayor being a Muslim extremist sympathizer, I didn't say a Muslim, but a Muslim extremist sympathizer.
Sympathizer.
I don't know how long we're going to have that tree.
You know, if you're a Muslim extremist, part of being a Muslim extremist is you all know is to hate Jewish people.
You know that.
And of course, and of course, that's horrible and awful.
But you should also know it's to hate Christians.
Whatever number of Jewish people they've killed, they certainly have killed the same number of Christians.
If we look at Africa, when we look at Africa, Nigeria is now being pointed out by the president.
Thank you, Mr. President, for being the first president to have the courage to defend Christians.
But just about all those wars in Africa, big ones and little ones, which the international press makes it sound like it's a bunch of Africans fighting with each other over territory.
They're carrying out the orders of their founder, Muhammad, and trying to conquer and eliminate the Christian people.
Now, that is not, they didn't make that up.
That's not something they, you know, in their crazy minds, they developed a couple months ago or a couple of years ago, or a couple of who know, who knows what's ago.
This goes back to the time when Muhammad was rejected and turned insane and bitter and decided he was going to spread the religion that everyone was rejecting by warfare, by killing.
And that's what he did.
He didn't convert people.
He didn't have a St. Peter and a St. Paul, and he didn't have a St. Augustine to write out a brilliant, beautiful theology or St. Thomas Aquinas.
He had an army, brutal army, much like the Islamic terrorists of today.
And they go into a village and kill as many people as possible.
The ones that didn't convert, they'd kill them.
And then they got a little more sophisticated.
They started extorting from them.
You know, you can either die or pay us money.
And all the good things he had written earlier about Christians and Jews were totally reversed into how horrible they were and how they had to be either conquered, killed, or made into demis, into slaves, submissives.
And he became a massive killer and warrior.
The whole thing about pedophile and his sister-in-law and all this other stuff, I don't know.
The pedophile thing seems pretty clear.
But he definitely was a mass murderer.
And his focus was on Christians and Jews.
And that has gone forward as a theme in the Muslim religion every day since then.
And it's a theme in the Muslim religion today.
So if you say you're a Muslim, I have a right to ask you what kind of Muslim you are before I'm comfortable about your living next door to me.
So this isn't like a prejudice against Black people or prejudice against Hispanic people or prejudice against Italian people or prejudice against.
This is a religion that has a 1400-year history of wanting to eliminate Christians and Jews.
And there are a lot that don't.
There are a lot of Muslims that don't.
There are a lot of Muslims that don't support Yasser Arafat.
And they don't support Hamas.
And they don't support what happened.
They're horrified about what happened on September 11.
And they're horrified about what happened on October 7th.
Even though they may be politically against Israel, they're horrified by the barbaric actions of Hamas.
Look, this is all you, you've been lied to about the Muslim religion forever.
One of Hitler's strongest allies in the elimination of the Jewish people was the highest Imam in Palestine.
He was very, very supportive of let's eliminate all of the Jews.
All of them.
The final solution was enthusiastically accepted within the Arab lands.
So I don't know.
You can live in a dreamland and watch more people get killed.
Or you can face the truth and we can figure out how to get beyond this.
We don't do it by electing a guy like Mandani, who he's been a citizen of this country, what, eight years?
That little ridiculous, huh?
Mayor of New York, he's a citizen of this country eight years.
And he has opinions like, I don't know, I mean, I've lived in New York City most of my life.
I know anti-Semitism.
I know anti-everything.
I've never seen too many people that hate Jews as much as he does.
You can do all the bullshit you want.
You're not going to bullshit me.
This guy hates Jewish people deep down.
You don't embrace that Imam, who was a co-conspirator in the bombing, unindicted co-conspirator in the World Trade Center bombing of 1993, sounded to me like a supporter of September 11 and a supporter of October 7, somebody who hates Jews, expresses it openly.
You don't embrace him and call him the most influential rabbi in New York.
He's a rabbi who supports murder.
So that tells me what side of the religion you're on.
You know, the religion has a division.
You can support all that stuff that Muhammad told you to do.
And you can say, well, that makes me a very religious Muslim.
Well, you're supporting the people that are on that side.
People that read it out and say, hey, we got to be a little more careful with Muhammad.
Something happened to him and he went a little crazy.
Yeah, we like that early Muhammad, talked about Abraham and the book.
But then when they threw him out, because I guess they figured out what the hell he was, he went wild and killing people.
Mass murders of Jewish people, mass murders of his own people and of Christians.
Highly derogatory things about them in the Quran.
A holy book preaching hatred.
And they try to say, oh, gee, it was defense.
He didn't spread the religion by defense.
He didn't sit there and have people come attack him and then defeat them and take them over, did he?
You don't spread it into Iran across the water by defense.
Don't you have to invade Iran in order to conquer it?
Well, that's what he did.
Don't you have to invade the Israeli villages, I mean, the Jewish villages in order to conquer them?
Well, they come to you and fight with you, and then you went in there.
This is all such garbage.
And so, of course, we stopped studying history.
It's because communists took over our educational system.
It's because of a lot of things.
And we got to face it, because we did one of the most horrible things we've ever done in America.
We've elected a guy who is a communist and a supporter of people who are extreme Islamic terrorists to be mayor of the biggest city in the country.
And this is exactly what happened in England a few years ago when they elected what they have in London, a Muslim mayor.
And England's on its way to becoming an Islamic country.
They have parts of England that are governed by Sharia law, and they don't have the guts to do anything about it.
We have some parts of America that are governed by Sharia law, and the local officials are afraid, and they look the other way.
The same local officials who engage in Sanctuary City, which is about as blatant a violation of federal law as I can think of, and becomes really an insurrection or a secession from the United States and the laws of the United States.
You don't get to define the immigration laws in California, Governor Newscomb.
Nor do you, Hocho Pocol, doho jerkhead.
Nor do you, mayor, a mayor communist, comrade mayer.
The immigration laws of the United States are federal laws, not local laws.
You have to follow them.
Just like you had to follow the laws about allowing black children into school when the Supreme Court said it.
And you had to follow the laws about freeing the slaves when the United States government decided that.
There are certain things that our local governments have the priority over.
Education, law enforcement, immigration, federal government.
Foreign policy, federal government.
You don't have a right, mayor, whoever the hell you are, to tell your local police, don't cooperate with ICE.
If you can't cooperate with ICE, you should resign as mayor, or you should have been prosecuted a long time ago.
This is a question of my broken window.
You know, part of the broken windows theory has always been about the smallest thing first.
Someone wrote a really good article about it, going back to the people who invented it, which were Professor Wilson and Kellogg.
But I applied it like to riots, which reason I never had a riot after Dinkins had terrible riots.
I mean, I took over a city in which people thought they're going to riot like crazy because they got a Republican mayor.
No, just the opposite happened.
Because they got a Republican mayor, the riots were gone.
We saved the lives of more black people than ever before in New York City because I really cared about them as people, not as votes.
The market vote for me.
I understood why.
I wasn't angry at them because they didn't vote for me.
I was angry at the people who manipulated them, but I wasn't angry at them.
I much wanted to save their lives as the people who voted for me.
I'm a Christian and I'm a decent human being.
And I'm the mayor who saved more black lives than any mayor in history.
And you want me to show you sometimes?
I'll show you.
It used to drive them crazy when I said that.
Because all they ever did, look in Chicago.
All they ever do is keep electing, they keep electing the dumbest person in Chicago, mayor, and black people get killed left and right every weekend.
And then when Trump offers to help, they tell him, no, no, we're taking care of the problem.
Well, you go tell all the mothers in the black parts of Chicago that you do that.
And they don't have children anymore.
You go explain up in Harlem, De Blasio or Adams or whatever you are, Mandumi, how it is that in the Black community, there are more children, but matter of fact happened last year, the year before, there were more black kids aborted than born.
Where the hell are you going?
You don't care about that?
You don't think that that really carries out what Planned Parenthood had in mind in the first place or what the communists have in mind?
Too few people in politics love people.
And too few people in politics have integrity.
My father told me that.
My father told me I should never go into politics.
I should be a judge.
Politicians are too crooked.
I hope where he is now, he realizes that you can be an honest politician.
You know, this pardon just proves me right about maybe the 90s thing.
You got to add to the list.
I don't know.
I don't know what else I got to need to prove right.
They won't accept it or print it, but like in the hard drive and in the computer, there's an admission by Hunter Biden that he paid his old man his salary for 30, 35 years.
Of course, that's an admission against interest that's admissible in a criminal trial.
And it is considered among evidence experts the most powerful form of evidence because it's voluntary.
Whereas a regular confession, you know, a confession to a cop Could be, of course, liberals would say this all the time, coerced.
Well, nobody coerced Hunter to tell his daughter that his old man was taking half his salary for 35 years.
Now, could it be false?
Anything can be false.
All the testimony, all the testimony given in court can be false.
That's what you have a trial for.
That's what you have a jury for.
But as evidence is evaluated, that's considered the most powerful kind of confession.
I'm just telling you what the law books have said since the English laws developed the rules of evidence, which are highly complex.
It's considered a rule eaten up by the exceptions.
I'm an expert on it.
I had to be.
Because when you know, when you get up and say object, object, object, you got to know why.
It's not like in, it's not like in a Terry Mason or whatever.
You get up and object.
The judge may ask you why you go like this.
You're not going to have too many clients.
And you got to be able to like that.
You waste time on an objection.
The judge, sorry, you waived it.
I mean, too many lawyers in court stink because they're lazy.
The judge that I clerk for used to say for every one hour in court, four hours of preparation.
And if you do something wrong in court, kick yourself in the shins so you remember not to do it again that way.
No room for error when you're prosecuting very dangerous criminals or defending somebody's life or defending a president who was framed.
And everything I did for him was honorable and true.
And I was just barred for it.
And I got to tell you, of all the things they did, that's the one that probably hurt me the most.
I don't mean monetarily.
Of course it hurt monetarily.
But I probably was making more money in my security business than I was as a lawyer.
But I love being a lawyer.
And I can't do it anymore.
I can't do it anymore because I aggressively represented and defended an innocent man.
You read this pardon and you read the report that Mr. Martin did, and you'll see that all the things that I was telling you about with regard to the phony votes and the letters we were sending to Pence, that coward, it's all true.
And you were looking to do it constitutionally.
That's the whole point.
100%.
You literally went out of your way.
You also see something you were never told.
The alternate electors were done three other times in American history.
And Professor Eastman based what he did precisely on that.
And they just barred him.
And we knew right when this started happening, how the media came out and obviously the Democrats and how much they were lying.
I was, you know, I played a very small role on a big team led by Mayor Giuliani.
And you're in a good position because you can watch it and absorb it.
Yeah.
Even my son Andrew was partially involved and partially not involved.
So I could absorb it.
Sometimes now, when I have to go back, I'll go to him.
And even when I was, you were with me when we were preparing for the Bar Association.
Yeah.
You helped me a lot.
Yeah.
Well, you also found the.
Well, we got to make a bigger deal about that one.
Wait a second.
They completely, remember, you remember the altered tape and the Nixon, the Nixon tape?
Yeah.
This is what they did.
What they did to the tape.
We got to bring that up.
What they did to the tape of the vote counting in Georgia, they took out the most relevant, they took out the most relevant, 45 minutes altogether.
Maybe different tapes.
And they did it in a very tricky way.
I showed you once on my podcast how they did it.
Yeah, we got to bring it.
We'll do it again.
We got to go dig it out somewhere.
But so if you're going through the tape, they have a counter at the bottom.
The counter's going along just fine, just fine, just fine.
Ted and I are looking at it to get ready for trial.
We make a little note, make a little note.
All of a sudden, it kind of jumps to a new subject really quick.
You say, what's going on?
There's something crazy here.
I don't know.
So I said to Ted, I don't know.
I'm getting crazy here.
I can't follow this thing.
It seems like they're jumping ahead or something.
But look at the numbers here.
You know, 175, 176, 77, 78, 79, 80, 81 issue.
And Ted looks at it.
He says, yeah.
And then Ted notices.
He moves it up a little.
He moved up the frame a little.
And in the corner of the frame of each one of the cameras, and I guess they're set that way because these are security cameras from the state farm arena, not from the Republican Party or the Democratic Party or the crooked FBI, then crooked FBI.
This is a state farm arena who didn't realize they had it until 10 or so days later.
And then they gave it to us because they looked at it and said, this is as crooked as hell.
So then you looked in the corner and all you had, you had to be very careful.
It was just the two of us late at night.
Yeah, we got these.
You had to stand there and you had to watch.
The thing at the bottom went from 176 to 177.
And up there went from 1059 to 11.05.
And now you're at 11.05 and you missed.
The last thing up there was 1059.
Then it says 11.05.
So now, you know, five minutes was taken out.
Right.
Then you go through it and you go through it and you go through it.
Now there were four different cameras.
So when I say there was like 50 minutes out, it means in all in the four different cameras.
And one camera didn't count.
And it almost had nothing taken out.
One camera had nothing, it was like in a part of the arena that nothing to do with this.
But all the other cameras counted.
They left out the people being thrown out sufficiently.
You see a little of it.
Now, stupidly, they didn't clean it up completely.
They still left behind three or four examples of cheating and examples of throwing people out.
But when I confronted the state prosecutor with that, the Bar Association prosecutor, he said, he didn't know that.
I said, well, he must have done this.
He said, no, no.
Raphsonberg has sent it to us this way.
So I don't know.
It's between him and Rapsenberg.
One of them, one of them belongs in jail.
And when I brought it up to the judge who was overseeing my persecution, well, she wasn't appointed.
She's a former judge, an appointed judge.
So she's getting paid to do this by the Bar Association.
She was a Democratic hack from Brooklyn, appointed by the Brooklyn Democratic leader to the court.
And I obviously knew now she was retired.
Her whole living was doing these fixes, whatever they do, you know.
And she knew if she came out for me, they'd never hire her again in her life.
Ever.
That's the way it is in New York.
I was told that in law school.
It goes back to Boss Tweed.
The Supreme Court of New York, the trial court, is controlled by the county leader of the Democratic Party in Manhattan, the Bronx, in Brooklyn, and in Queens.
The county leader in Manhattan, for example, controlled the judges that framed Trump.
And Gamoron was elected three times without an opponent.
The other guy never even got elected.
They just put him in, slipped him in.
Controlled now by Keith Wright, who is a Democrat, whose father was probably one of the most notoriously warped judges in New York history, known as Let Him Loose Bruce.
Oh, and that comes from a fellow Democrat called Ed Koch.
Ed Koch would tell you that he was probably the most dangerous judge in New York.
He was like we have so many now.
He was the one that would let people go and then they'd commit a crime and then they let them go again.
He let them go again.
And the newspapers or Koch named him Let Him Loose Bruce.
His son now runs the Democrat Party in Manhattan and is the person who put those two judges on that conducted trials that would be a credit to the Soviet Union.
Oh, and the one who did the criminal trial, his daughter made a million dollars or so from the Harris Tampon Tim campaign.
That's okay.
They're Democrats.
They're allowed to take bribes.
If they don't straighten out the court system in this city, we'll never be a city again.
Because now we've got a Muslim extremist sympathizer who's a communist as mayor.
And the city's in bad shape anyway.
And I don't know where the hell it's going to go.
Where the hell it's going to go.
The brainwashing that comes about here, and a lot of it is because of the media.
We're cracking through it.
We're cracking fruit in a lot of parts of America.
But the people here, they're still more controlled, I think, by the establishment media than is the case in other parts of America where, I mean, just think about it.
They've been Democrats for 170 years.
I was the fourth Republican mayor in the 20th century.
Only four?
And there were four more before that?
Before.
Since Lincoln, we've had nine.
Since Lincoln, we've had nine.
One of them looks like a Republican Democrat.
Then we also have the Republican.
And in that group, we have the Republicans.
I wouldn't count as Republicans.
The ones who quit.
Lindsay Bloomberg quit.
Bloomberg.
Lindsey quit halfway through, got elected as a Democrat.
Yeah.
Bloomberg became independent and became a big supporter of the Democrats.
Ran for president.
Ran for president as a Democrat.
Lindsay ran for president of the Democrat.
Then they had a couple in the other century also, Republican Democrat.
So basically, the two Republicans that remain Republicans, I would say, were the two greatest mayors in the history of the city, or Guardia and me.
Want to fight about it?
I'm happy to show you the statistics.
Okay.
So I really suggest looking at this pardon thing, because as I look at it, I've only had a chance to read it twice.
There are a lot of follow-ups here, and a lot of people can get sued.
And a lot of people are going to do the suing.
I mean, you've got this, this is from the Justice Department.
These are conclusions of violations of civil rights.
I mean, I know mine really well, but I can see that there are plenty of others equal to or better than mine.
Well, what else do we have?
Well, I didn't play the full tape, but I just wanted to show this.
This is the mayor was talking about the state farm video.
We got to find the exact moments, but this is what you were referring to earlier.
This is one of the edited videos that they used to take away your bar license in New York.
And again, this is edited video.
They have not explained why, how, when they took out poor.
The judge didn't pay no attention to it.
She was more interested in her cell phone.
So I just want to, and we'll try to find the specific points.
That'll take a little bit more time, but we had to.
Well, most of it, most of it, I had the thing pretty much memorized from, yeah.
I'll tell you the two main things they take out.
There were multiple times.
They have four, they have four quadruple counting of ballots left that they didn't get out.
They just snuck in under the wire.
There are numerous ones like that that have been taken out.
Then they have the casing of the place to make sure nobody was there while they were doing their criminal acts.
That's been removed so you don't see it because it's highly suspicious when you looked at it.
And there are a couple about there are a couple where they don't show you how the people were ushered out, but it doesn't really matter because they do show you that the gallery was empty.
And it's illegal to count ballots unless it's open to the public.
So no matter how they play around with it or no matter how the crooked Democrats on the courts ignored it, that was just per se illegal.
But what do they care in Georgia if it's illegal?
I mean, look, Fanny the Ho, who's the one who prosecuted us, in the middle of her testimony, when she was being questioned about who paid for the vacations,
because one of the allegations of the prosecutors earlier was that she got her boyfriend who never handled a criminal case in his life to handle this most important criminal case and got him paid over a million dollars and that he took her on all these fancy vacations and whatever, whatever.
She claimed she paid for her part of it.
So rightly, they'd like to see the receipts of her paying for it, right?
Oh, but she paid for it in cash.
Well, this was a lot of money, $20,000, $30,000.
And they said, well, how come you had that kind of cash?
And she said, oh, well, my campaign ended.
I took a lot of that cash and used it.
Whoa.
Not even a reaction from the judge.
Not even a from the audience.
I don't know, a group of honest people that hear you say you took cash from your campaign would be a little concerned, wouldn't they?
But this is Fulton County, Georgia.
I don't know.
She said, I bribed the judge.
They probably said, oh, yeah, it happens all the time.
And then the judge worked for her, and they're still hanging on to the case.
They're still hanging on to the case.
Georgia's still got the case.
Nobody wants to prosecute it, but they still got the case.
Same thing in Arizona, but Arizona's got a Democrat governor, if that's what you call it, and an attorney general that, whoop, she's still hanging on to her case.
She's still prosecuting all these people.
They didn't do anything wrong.
All they did was follow the law.
The alternate electors, this ignorant swine, charges as a crime when it's been done in prior elections and tries to convince the American people this was some kind of fraud.
First of all, I don't commit fraud.
And neither does Professor Eastman.
You do.
Democrats live on it.
Well, there's been an awful lot of talk, probably because of Mandani, and also because of the universities.
And we are going through probably our worst international outbreak of anti-Semitism, anti-Jewish violence since Hitler.
I don't think there's any doubt about that.
And yes, it stretches across this entire country, but mostly in universities, which is really the oddest thing in the world.
You'd think the last place you would have the ancient evil of anti-Semitism arise, you know, which is about thousands of years old or in universities.
But these aren't universities.
These are Harvard and all these places have turned into Marxist training schools for people who have been indoctrinated in exactly what Karl Marx was preaching back in 1850.
Hate God, destroy the nuclear family, get rid of morals, subject yourself to make the state bigger, the central government bigger and bigger and bigger and bigger, and let it keep running bigger and bigger parts of your life.
I mean, they were so enthusiastic about the pandemic, remember?
When they said, well, you can't go to church on Easter or high holidays.
Now, I was surprised the church didn't fight back like crazy.
It was exactly when you need God.
If they had told people after September 11 they couldn't go to church, I'd have taken the people to church in police cars.
I don't know about them, but I'm not, I need God.
They don't.
They're way too smart.
See, that's what happens.
That's what happens to the atheists.
They get real smart.
Doesn't it go back to Genesis?
Isn't that the main sin?
Arrogance?
Didn't the serpent convince Adam and Eve that if they took the fruit of the tree of knowledge, they'd be smarter than God?
Same thing happened with Karl Marx.
If you read his biography, he actually became a Satanist for a period of time in his life.
And isn't that true of all these liberals?
I mean, I've grown up with them.
I was always smarter than them.
But they thought they were smarter than everybody.
That's why I broke away from them, because they were wrong.
And they didn't know how to analyze their way out of a paper bag because they were influenced by Marxism and because they are weak people who follow other people.
So if everybody is saying that you have to wear a mask, well, you have to wear a mask.
They're not going to examine like the stupidity of putting a mask on a child who sniffles and isn't likely to get COVID.
All the reports said it was very unlikely for a child to get COVID.
All the reports until Fauci was told by his bosses what to do.
His bosses were the guys making billions.
We still don't know how much money Fauci made in that three-year period from his royalties.
We still don't know.
So, this is what we're dealing with.
This is what we've got to change.
And that's why the president, that's why the president has to shake up the whole house so hard.
Every, I mean, you almost, in some of these places, you'd want to get rid of everybody and start new.
It's so corrupted.
Probably it isn't that bad, but it's pretty close.
Well, we're going to take a break and we'll do our thing and we'll be right back.
And we'll be right back.
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 temporarily paralyzed.
Scott would become the first blind, active duty military officer before medically retiring years later.

They're going to go into the roaster, and it'll get roasted for about 20 minutes or so.
Oh, my goodness.
Look at these.
My goodness, you're going to want to specially order these.
This is what goes into Rudy's coffee.
Well, what's happening over in Nigeria hasn't...
What's happening in Nigeria is not confined to Nigeria.
It's happening throughout various parts of Africa.
And what it is, is Islamic terrorist groups, various organizations, different names, some independent, some connected to ISIS, some affiliated with each other and some killing each other.
But here's their main goal, and that is to wipe out Christianity in Africa.
It's genocide.
It's to wipe out Christianity.
in Nigeria.
Sudan, Sudan was split in half in order to do that.
North being Muslim and the South being Christian, and now the North isn't satisfied with that.
And they're trying to do the best they can to wipe out the Christians in the South.
This is going on all throughout, it's going on all throughout Africa.
Now, today, the president met with the head of Syria.
It made me really uncomfortable.
I mean, the Syrians and the Israelis had to come in and protect him.
The Syrian government either participated in or sat by while they wiped out vast numbers of Christians in the Al-White part of Syria.
So the excuse was they were killing people who supported Assad.
Assad was an Al-White.
That was the tribe.
But the Christians happened to live in the same area.
And these are both Catholic and Protestant Christians.
And today, the president met with the vicious murderer, one of the most wanton men in the United States, who's killed, I don't know how many people.
And he's made himself, or he became, he made himself really the president of Syria and claims he's going to be a good boy.
And so now he doesn't wear the, you know, the stupid stuff and got himself in a suit and you can show a picture of him.
But I already got an awful lot of blood coming off his hands.
And a lot of that blood are Assad's people.
A lot of that blood are Protestant ministers, Catholic priests.
Syria has a fairly large Christian population still.
One of the things Assad didn't do was pick on them that much.
But this group has always been against them.
They're much more fundamentalist Muslims who hate Christians and want to wipe them out.
And this guy's group was really big on it.
Now, he claims the government is against it.
Everybody else claims the government helped it to happen.
And a group of a large number of Protestant ministers wrote a letter today imploring the president not to meet with him and to get rid of him.
So I don't know.
I don't know the answer to all that completely.
What I do know is there is throughout the world, in too many different parts of the globe, concerted effort by extremist Muslims who are not just a handful of people to kill Christians and Jews.
And it's very, very disturbing to see that happen in Africa, to see it happen in the Middle East, to see it happen in England, France, the northern countries, Michigan.
Michigan.
Here he is today at the White House outside.
This is outside the White House today.
42 Muslims were elected in the last election.
I'm sure all Democrats.
I wonder how many of them are what I would regard as reformist Muslims.
In other words, they've reformed, that they've rejected the homicidal teachings of Muhammad.
And how many are willing to engage in a debate with me with the Quran in front of them and the Hadith and try to tell me that all those murders were defensive murders?
I don't know.
You don't capture the Saudi Arabian Peninsula by defense, do you?
Right?
Like they come to you and attack you, and then you attack them and take their country away from them.
That's the way it happened.
Who is this?
This is a meeting today, yeah.
Where?
At the White House with the new Syrian president Ahmad Al.
He looks like Mandani.
I thought it was Mandani.
It's definitely not.
I wonder what it's like to have been a murderer and now running a country and going to the White House.
I mean, I guess it's always possible reform.
More likely you didn't.
You must think we're one hell of a bunch of suckers, huh?
Right.
I kill all those Christians, I kill all those American soldiers.
I'm going to the White House.
He looks like Mondani.
I'm telling you.
Got that same phony smile.
Right.
He's quite worried about how his jacket is.
You notice that?
Yeah, he's really those guys, right?
Mahal Mayor.
What do you think about leaders that are way more focused on their dress?
Jolani, people think I'm related to him.
When you hear his name, Jelani, right?
I don't have any.
Spelled very differently.
I guarantee you it's all Italian background, maybe a little Spanish way back.
And the Spanish were hardly Muslims.
It's like they knew something.
Remember, it was the battle in Spain that drove them off the continent after they tried to take Europe once before.
The Muslims, that is.
That's right.
They've been trying to wipe us out since they started.
So what's happening?
We talked about Nigeria a little bit, right?
So in Nigeria, Christians are being slaughtered in Nigeria.
There are all kinds of reports.
There are, I mean, look, there are still some turf wars in Africa.
There are wars over cattle, believe it or not, in Nigeria.
About 12,000 died as a result of that.
Now, it's hard to tell because some of that also is Muslim Christian.
Right.
The Coalition of American Evangelicals and Influences has been speaking out for a group of mostly Christian farmers battling with largely Muslim cattle herdsmen over dwindling resources.
Now, this is a Wall Street Journal biased piece.
So have Catholic bishops, by the way, including one, I think, who was captured.
And it isn't all over cattle.
It's all over the country.
There are 100 million Christians, supposedly.
The government likes to say these are killings over livestock, except Bolka Haram, the jihadist group, Which was well known for the mass kidnapping and killing of school children is still active, not as much as they used to be.
I mean, they just wiped out all the Christians in the North, so there's nobody else to kill them.
Now they're moving south.
So they're asking the president to rethink a military intervention.
I don't know.
When you look at this, and then you look at that guy in Syria, where in that whole area of Syria, they pretty much tried to do a genocide on the Christians.
And Israel came in and stopped it because some of the people involved were rebel Muslim, one would call them, who are very, very loyal citizens of Israel and they were being killed.
But they also, as Bibi has pointed out a few times, a little exasperation that, you know, he was using his soldiers to protect the Christians, which he didn't mind doing, but I think he wanted a little more support.
So if you want to know the good news, Christian music is growing like crazy.
Now, all over the country, Christian music has become very, very popular.
So we'll have to pick up some music and play it for you, particularly over the holiday season, see what it sounds like.
I love religious music because I think it's a way of communicating with God.
It's another way.
You know, one of the things you learn if you spend any time even at a lower state of affairs studying for the priesthood is the beauty of liturgy.
I mean, liturgy is about the various ways in which we express our love for God and our thankfulness for God and our attempts to have God help us and intervene for us.
And the theory of many theologians, Christian theologians, when it was a much more unified movement before the Protestant Reformation was that we should engage all the senses, which means that's why we should sing.
Not only should we recite and give sermons and have beautiful art, we should engage all the senses because this is a supernatural phenomenon which we can't access purely rationally.
So we can access it through beauty.
And that's how you end up with so many of the composers.
Some of their greatest pieces of music are masses or oratorios about, well, Bach's St. Matthew's and St. John's Passions are probably two of the greatest pieces of music written ever, ever, ever by anyone.
Or unless maybe it's just B minor Mass.
Bach was a very, very committed Lutheran, but he wrote a Mass for the Roman Catholic Church, the B minor Mass, or Mozart's Mass, his Requiem Mass, which is featured a great deal in the movie about Mozart.
I'm a Dei Yes, a play, and was also featured at the funeral of John F. Kennedy.
They played Mozart's Requiem.
You should know that the whole art form of opera emerged from the Roman Catholic Mass, from the high mass, from the sung mass, the misa solemna is what it was called in Latin.
And from that, composers started to do little oratorios and they started to do little dramatizations.
And at first, you could only do it about religious subjects.
And then you could do it about religious or classical subjects, you know, like the Oedipus or the various Greek dramas put to music or about Greek kings or other kings.
And then as opera became more popular, it started to go to more historical subjects.
And then eventually to common people, regular people, Puccini being the one who really accomplished that, that called it a Virismo opera.
The most famous one probably being Pagachi, where the clown, where the clown has to go on after finding out that his wife is having an affair with a local townsman, and he has to go out and perform as a clown and a comedian.
And he sings Riti Pagachi, which means laugh Pagliachi, even though you're crying inside.
Probably one of the greatest tenor pieces of music ever.
But all this emerged from this incredible civilization that we have that they despise.
They despise Western civilization.
It's the complete antithesis of their entirely anti-human agenda.
Ours is a completely human agenda.
It's to value human life as a precious gift from God.
Theirs is to value only Muslims.
I didn't write the Quran.
I just read it honestly.
And I report it honestly.
And I don't think we're going to save ourselves if we lie to each other.
And I have to say, oh, the Muslim religion is a peaceful religion.
When from the day it started, it was a warrior religion.
And the man who started it was a warrior.
And pretty much to the point of insanity.
So Mary Anastasia O'Grady, who writes for the Wall Street Journal and knows more about Latin America than anybody, is greatly concerned that the new president of Mexico is owned by the cartels because she is trying,
she's trying in the worst way.
She sees what Trump is doing in Venezuela, which is wiping out, trying to wipe out the flow of drugs from Venezuela to the United States.
And at the same time, let's face it, to push out the ally of Russia, the ally of China, the ally of Cuba.
The guy who's the head of the cartel is dopey as a whatever, but rich as hell, and sent all these murderers to the United States, Maduro.
I mean, he's got a third of a fleet outside of Caracas.
Trump does.
So meanwhile, meanwhile, the president, Scheinbaum in Mexico is trying to convince him that he shouldn't, that it would be a violation of the integrity of Mexico if we just went into the area right around the border and wiped out all those damn cartels who were running our border instead of Biden.
And she has an answer.
She has an answer to the her answer is not to not to engage them the way her predecessor did, Andres Manuel Lopez Obador, who quickly gave in and appeased them.
So they completely owned Obrador.
So she's decided that she's going to break, she's going to break free from them.
And her answer is better intelligence gathering, an increased deployment of military sources, resources, and a search for the root causes of the runaway violence.
Of course, that search will end 200 years from now for the root causes.
I've gone through the root causes things, and people are sitting in an ivory tower doing root causes, and 100 people are being killed on the street.
And by the time they get to the root causes, there'll be thousands of people killed on the street.
And I just want to stop them.
But she doesn't want to engage more police.
And she doesn't want us to get involved at all.
Well, come on.
Mary, you got to know this.
They own her.
She's not a communist.
She talks a little different.
I know, I know, I know Trump likes her, but Ms. Sheinbaum inherited a lot of institutional corruption from Mr. Lopez Oberdor, including inside the military.
No shit.
That makes her job more difficult.
She blames her predecessors for it.
Well, her predecessor was Lopez Oberdor, her boss.
No, no, no, no, no.
It's the ones before.
It's the right-wing ones, like, you know, the Republicans did it.
Except they were in office between 2006 and 2012.
They've had, they've had 24 years to fix it.
How can it be Calderón in 2012?
I worked there.
This is such bullshit.
Under Calderón, there were 300 fewer murders than in the six-year terms of either the communist Lopez Oberdor or the communist Scheinbaum.
They've had 30,000 more murders.
So they must be really working.
The homicide rate was falling under Calderón.
It's gone way up.
And Oberdor set a record for the most murders in the history of Mexico, like Dinkins did.
And she wants to convince Trump, let me handle the problem.
Yeah, handle the problem, and we'll get another 100,000 people dead of fentanyl.
And man, I just don't see why we should accept that.
So when we get finished with Maduro, let's work on this other communist, huh?
And let's stop, let's take the blindness off.
These people, and these people fold.
I mean, Maduro right now is probably sitting in a rat hole somewhere.
Did you see the information about the J-6 pipe bomber, Ted?
Yes.
Yes.
Our own care, I had some.
What do you make of it?
So they name a person now.
So that person has been named.
I don't know if it's how accurate it is.
I won't give the name of the person, but I will say that the person was a Capitol police officer.
Yep.
And then got rewarded by becoming an FBI CIA operative, which leads you more and more to the engineer, January 6th.
Right.
I mean, I don't know.
And this, what about insider trading Pelosi?
Did she have anything to do with this?
Where was Pelosi's daughter?
Where was Pelosi's daughter?
Well, she was filming her in the back of a limo telling us that she did not call for the National Guard, if I remember correctly.
Remember that one?
But then she yelled at our Allison.
She told us that she was.
Did Allison make her quit?
Do you think?
What?
Did our Allison think she quit because of this revelation of the J6 pipe bumper?
I mean, they have pictures of this person.
They couldn't have found this person earlier than now.
They've had this for four years.
They've had this Ted.
They've had these pictures for four years.
They've had the stuff I gave them for four years.
I gave him a emails and Twitters that talked about 240 Antifa people being inside several days later being inside helping to instigate things.
Never heard about that with the January 6th committee.
Not once.
I mean, I kept it.
I don't know what they did with it.
They probably burned it with all the other stuff they burned.
Everything else.
Yeah.
That's if you watch this woman carefully, she signals when she goes past the capital.
Did they release the video?
What?
I'm gonna look for the video.
They've released some of the video.
And the pipe bomb, was that the day before?
Pipe bomb was the day before.
Yeah, there's a lot there.
We got to get, see if Kara's available tomorrow.
Here's the video.
She's currently being employed as an intelligence operative.
Last time I checked, Donald Trump was the president.
What kind of intelligence is he getting?
I think this is so here's some video.
And by the way, it does appear.
Well, it's seven minutes of video, so we won't play the whole thing.
I'm going to look this up.
What's a Capitol police officer doing setting, putting bombs?
Didn't they have a didn't they have a funeral for a Capitol police officer who died of natural causes in the rotunda to make it look like Trump people killed him?
Right.
When the only killing that took place were of Trump people, including Ashley Babbitt.
Somebody noticed it today.
We had a long talk about Ashley's case.
Right.
Has her family sued you?
I don't know what they're doing, but I'm telling you, I'm telling you.
This is a video.
This is a Murder One case.
No statute of limitations on murder.
No statute of limitations.
Yeah, I'm going to play some video here.
This video appears.
Some say appears to show Capitol Police placing the pipe bomb.
She's a Capitol Police officer.
She was a Capitol Police officer.
Here's the video.
Well, at least they identify.
Unfortunately, this is like little drips and drabs.
You don't have a good solid report.
So I will describe all this as I'll describe all of this as alleged.
So this is the video.
And so they're circling.
Now, this video has been out.
This was out last year, but now it gives it new meaning.
Watch this police car.
So these are two videos put together that added partisanship.
And the building is the this is a DNC.
The video is coming from, I think, a street cam.
So look at the circle there.
There's a person walking.
So the idea is that person walks over.
The other screen is just to show what she's walking towards.
But they believe someone may have walked over, put it down, and then let's see if they come back.
Then they come back to the car is turning around.
Here's the car turning around.
And then there's the same person walking.
Here's the person walking away now.
Okay.
Now, the question is how many people were involved?
Right.
There's obviously somebody else in that car.
When it says 1253 up there, was that the time?
In the evening?
No, 1253.30.
Well, in the afternoon, yes.
In the afternoon.
Because it looks, well, yeah, it looks like the afternoon.
Because 12.
I guess that's.
Yeah.
So if this is shortly afternoon, and this car, so this is the car to watch.
So, oh, they switch cars too.
So it pulls up, pulls up, somebody gets out of the passenger side.
Right.
So this next car moves out of the way.
This someone gets out of this car, points over, walks over, and this car pulls up and parks in the same spot that this car just left.
And that individual's car backs in.
Then the individual comes back.
So people have always had questions about that footage specifically.
But the one that I saw is a woman walking in front of both.
Okay, let's find that.
here.
Oh, okay.
While you're doing that, I'm going to tell people so we can get them up to date that two baseball players have been arrested.
This is after the NBA scandal.
And there are two pitchers.
I think both for the Cleveland Guardians.
Right.
I still can't get used to that name.
I wonder if this would have happened if they were still the Cleveland Indians.
Right.
And an honest.
They started the show with an honest team.
And it had the guts to keep its name as against woke bullshit.
So the Cleveland Guardian pitchers are Louis Ortiz and Emmanuel Class.
And they were charged with fraud for manipulating their pitchers for the purposes of gambling.
Pitchers.
This is the Southern District of New York.
Clays and Ortiz allege that they agreed in advance with the gangsters, with the gamblers, to throw specific pitches, which would allow gamblers to place hundreds of fraudulent prop bets, which are based on specific events occurring during the sporting event.
So on Thursday, I think we'll release our first podcast.
Not to tie this in, but real quick, Mayor, this is just another issue you were right on.
So when I first started working with you, I bet, you know, it was never a lot, but five or 10 bucks a weekend, right, on football games.
And what did you, you didn't like tell me, get off of there immediately, but you just let me know your background, your history.
Don't gamble.
Don't gamble.
What happens when these sports leagues do this?
And here we are, less than three years later.
Dealing with another scandal.
I just have to make that point.
Now, back to the list.
If this is more widespread, they're going to ruin baseball.
I mean, basketball is useless.
Yeah.
The NBA is a useless Chinese dominated, Red Chinese-dominated organization.
I mean, sometimes you get the sense that LeBron James is working for Xi Jin Ming.
But now we've got two pitchers.
This is outrageous what they did.
It is.
I mean, it sounds like it's outrageous.
That's a good way to put it.
The prosecutor said in the indictment that they wagered on whether certain class pitches would be balls or strikes.
I've never heard of betting on balls or strikes.
Yeah.
That's real.
Pay attention to the game if you're betting on balls and strikes.
I mean, balls and strikes happen like that.
Ball one, strike one, ball two, strike two.
But in the middle of it, you say the next one's going to be a strike?
Yeah, I think it's before the game.
Before the game?
Well, how do you know how many the guy could get up and hit a pop-up pop-up and be out with no balls or strikes?
Right.
I think the first pitch of the inning, right?
Is it going to be a ball or a strike?
The guys can bet that it's going to be a ball.
They have a lot more control.
Okay.
So I bet that the first pitch of the inning will be a ball, and then the guy throws it in the dirt.
Exactly.
That's exactly right, Mayor.
So here's an example.
Except in one of these cases, somebody swung at it, and it became a strike, right?
...leads off and takes one that is just a little bit outside, just to quote another movie that had something to do with Cleveland.
Our son, because I didn't do it alone.
This is number 45.
...is just a little bit outside, just to quote another movie that had something to do with Cleveland.
Yeah, he's the bigger one.
Watch this pitch.
This is an example of a pitch that he's got to do.
Look at that pitch, right?
Just a little bit outside.
What did they say about it?
Look at that, it's in the dirt.
Now, you know, it would be interesting to me.
No one's going to swing at that.
Major League Hitler is not going to swing that leads off.
Do we have the one that the guy swing?
I'm going to find out.
It's just supposed to be a ball.
How about this guy you're watching is a three-time all-star.
He's 27 years old.
According to the indictment, he did this often.
This isn't like an 5,000.
And to make sure that they were balls, he would throw them in the dirt.
He received bribes and kickbacks.
The other guy, Ortiz, is a 26-year-old right-hander, also a starting pitcher for the Guardians.
He joined the scheme in 2025.
He worked with class, and he would throw prearranged balls instead of strikes on pitches in two games in exchange for money and kickbacks.
Before a June 15 game this year, Ortiz agreed to throw a ball on a particular pitch in exchange for a $5,000 bribe for him and an additional $5,000 for class for arranging the rig pitch.
Another game on June 27 was also fixed, according to the indictment.
Major League Baseball suspended Ortiz days later and then class a couple weeks after that.
And it contacted federal law enforcement at the outset of the investigation.
And they fully cooperated with him, which is fine.
They should have opposed gambling.
So here's a series of these pitches here.
Look at these.
Look at these balls.
Or Daz Cameron is.
Come on.
How long do you get to be a pitcher?
I've always thought football would be tougher to rig because these guys aren't allowed to make mistakes like this very long, right?
And they're benched.
They're off the team.
I guess these pitchers, if you're good enough, you're allowed to throw a couple wild pitches a game.
I mean, these guys, right?
I mean, there's...
Oh, but that, I mean, that one is like completely obvious.
That one a little bit low, but not obvious.
This one here is obvious.
Look at that.
That's like a kid.
Somebody could get hurt with that.
Those inside pitchers.
Look at those.
Those inside pitchers are game.
Do these catchers, are they in on it?
Probably not.
Two outings ago.
It's a one-run game here in the night.
You love baseball.
No.
Look at these pitches.
What kind of control do these guys have?
I mean, there are pitches first pitch.
Other than what they're doing here, we're watching them.
I mean, they look like clowns doing this.
Can we look up?
Let's look up the guy with the longer record is class.
He's at three all-star games.
Ortiz is just starting.
Look up class.
All right, let's see what happens.
And let's see how many walks he gives up in the season.
All right.
How many strikeouts?
His strikeout to walk ratio.
The guy made the all-star game.
And don't one, that doesn't say when he started this.
I think he started now, like 24, 25.
I'd almost want to go back when he was an all-star and see what his control was.
But let me just see what he's got.
Strikeout to walk stats.
Just as his stats.
That's all I need is his stats.
And I'll look up Ortiz.
His career, his career, strikeout to walk ratio is 3.92.
Well, how many strikeouts?
How many walks?
So he's got 3.9 strikeouts to every walk.
Yes.
Four to one.
Yes.
So his career and...
That's the average.
Yeah.
Yeah.
He doesn't have great control.
Let's see if we can bring these up.
Yeah.
So that's.
I wonder if he bought his way onto the all-star team.
You start to wonder.
But this isn't, this doesn't portend well if you got these two guys for the Guardians doing it.
Hopefully this also is a, but this is a warning to others not to do it.
I mean, now every time a pitcher throws a ball into the dirt, especially if it's the first pitch of an inning, people are going to be asking questions.
This might actually hopefully convince these guys it's not worth it.
And I think what we were told, you know, Craig Carton, we had Craig Carton on a couple weeks ago, and he's made this point.
Sometimes these guys, you see a small bet.
It's more of a problem than a, you know, it's just a gambling addiction.
Although in this case, it's tough to see it that way.
These guys are all we don't know.
We don't know if it's a gambling addiction.
Well, I guess it doesn't work.
They're just scumbags.
Oh, excuse me.
Oh, I take it back.
That's a bad word.
You cut it out or something.
I mean, these guys are, they are ruining the integrity of the game you love so much.
Yeah.
I think that's as if they're found guilty.
I don't know.
This is absolutely.
I'm going to take a short break.
Okay.
And we'll come back and then we'll conclude.
But I think this is worse than the steroid scandal.
And I'll tell you why.
We'll be right back.
Here we are, pretty much at the beginning of the process here at this pristine, I call it a laboratory.
It's not like a factory.
It's like a hospital.
This is the beginning of the process for roasting.
Deep green, very good quality.
Most people don't use this quality.
We deal with small farmers because they like to know who we're dealing with.
They give us the highest quality, all organic, non-GMO.
You should know all Arabica beans.
Lord Busto, all Arabica.
They're going to go into the roaster, and it'll get roasted for about 20 minutes or so.
Oh, my goodness.
Look at these.
My goodness, they're going to want to specially order these.
This is what goes into Rudy's coffee.
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 temporarily 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 a month to Tunnels of Towers at t2t.org.
Here we are, pretty much at the beginning of the process here at this pristine, I call it a laboratory.
It's not like a factory, it's like a hospital.

My goodness, you're going to want to specially order these.
This is what goes into Rudy's coffee.
And we're back.
Welcome back to America's Mayor Live.
I'm looking at Ortiz's stats.
He's been in the league since 22.
He got traded, unfortunately, for the poor Guardians.
I hope the Guardians aren't involved in this.
He got traded to them last year from the Pirates.
He's never won more than seven games.
Has a reasonably good era for not playing with top teams.
Oh, the Indians are a good team.
Um, he's never.
He's, he's never been up to five in era and he's never been below three.
His best season was in 24 with the Pirates, which is why the Guardians probably went and got him, where he had a seven and six record and he had a 3.32 era and a 1.11 whip.
But he?
Uh, his first season with the Guardians uh, he pitched 16 games.
He must have been injured.
He pitched only 16 games.
He was four and nine, which is not terribly impressive.
He had a 4.36 era, which is a whole uh, whole point above the year before, and his whip was up to 138, which is one of his worst.
So um, this is a, this is a journeyman pitcher.
That that's what I I mean.
If I looked at that, I knew nothing else about him.
I tell you he's a journeyman pitcher um, who is enormously inconsistent in his ball, his strikeout to ball, uh to walk ratio, which means he can have good control.
For example, he had a game against the A'S in on in june uh 21, probably his, maybe his best game of the year, and he had 10 strikeouts and just two Walks wow, and against the Cardinals, five and one.
But then if you go back earlier in and he may, maybe his season ended.
Then I don't know um, maybe it did.
Uh, he started off the season against the Nationals.
Horrible, his first, his first.
Well no, not really.
No no, he was a three and four.
In other words, four strikeouts, three walks, nine strikeouts, two walks, seven strikeouts, two walks.
Now that's, that's a pitcher with pretty good control.
Nine two seven, two.
But then he pitches against the Tigers and he's three and five.
Three strikeouts and five walks.
That doesn't happen.
Pitchers either have control or they don't.
Right um, control pitchers when they get into trouble get hit a lot right, but they don't walk people a lot.
Control pitchers stay around the plate, which means uh you, when you get to me, you get to by hitting them.
Yeah yeah right, I mean you take, you take a guy like um, I always use, of course uh uh, Rivera right, because he was such a great pitcher.
Yeah, I mean, if if Mariano Rivera hit you, he hit you on purpose.
Even batters know that.
As a baseball player, I wouldn't.
I knew.
I knew the pitchers who who hit me on purpose and the ones that didn't right.
I mean I caught pitchers who had unbelievable control.
To get them, to get them to hit somebody was like almost impossible, because they almost, it was almost impossible to be out of the strike zone um, so when you see a pitcher like that hit somebody, the manager told him to do it yeah, or he said i'm gonna do it.
But when you see a guy that's wild, that hits people, it's hard to you know.
Some guys are just wild.
This guy's not wild.
He has too many strikeouts um, and he's not that good a pitcher, but he's got a lot of strikeouts, which means he gets hit.
He gets hit a lot.
Let me he.
He hits people.
I'm telling you, he's got good.
He's got a lot of games here.
Only had one game in the year where he had more walks than strikes.
One game against the Reds on May 18th.
Somebody should look at that game.
He had, I'm sorry, against the Tigers.
He had five walks and three strikeouts.
Rest of the year, 3-4, 2-9, 2-7, 2-5, 3-7, 1-5, 5-5, 2-10, and 1-5.
So you take the Tiger game out.
This guy's a really, he's a control pitcher, which means he's not throwing the ball in the dirt like that more than once a season, twice a season, at the most, if ever.
I mean, there are pitchers I've watched their entire career.
I've never seen him throw a pitch like that.
Right.
And then there are pitchers who do.
And sometimes those, I mean, sometimes a pitcher does that to scare you, but not that kind of pitch.
Now we have Emmanuel Klass.
Now he's been in the league longer, right?
He's been an all-star.
His overall record, I don't know.
I don't get this guy never played for good teams.
I'll tell you why.
This may be why he's selling himself.
I don't know.
He's got a 21 and 26 lifetime record.
Okay.
He's been on the all-star team, right?
You know what his ERA is lifetime?
Try to guess.
Try to guess.
His what?
The guy is 21 and 26.
Oh, yeah.
I want you to tell me what his ERA is.
Just give it 21 and 26.
That's awful, right?
Right.
He's a really, he's a reliever.
No, no, no.
He's a starting pitcher.
Yeah.
How many years has he been playing?
He's been playing five years.
That's all?
That's his record after five years?
He's got a high ERA.
He started 48 games last year.
He started 74 games in 24.
He started 75 games in 23, 77, 71, and 21 games when he's with the Rangers.
So he's a starting pitcher.
No, no, no.
He's a relief pitcher.
You're right.
Because you're saying 70s in that.
Yeah, that means he came in as relief.
Okay.
But his ERA, if he's got a high ERA, what?
What is it up?
188.
How?
Of course, he's a good pitcher.
But he's a really, okay, that makes more sense.
His relief is 094.
He probably got tagged for a lot of unfortunate losses.
But here's the thing about him.
This guy has terrific control.
Wow.
Class shouldn't be throwing the ball in the dirt ever.
He has 180.
He has how many strikeouts does he have?
I don't give you his lifetime strikeouts.
Let's take a look.
He's got 182 saves.
He had three seasons in a row with over 40 saves.
He had an in 24, he had an 06-1 earned run average.
Then he had a bad 25.
He had a bad 25.
He had it.
Yeah.
That was a bad 25.
Doesn't give up many runs.
Doesn't walk anybody.
I'm looking at, I'm looking at, oh, I don't know if I'm looking at the whole season or not, but I don't 47 strikeouts and 12 walks.
This guy doesn't walk anybody, which means he's around the plate all the time.
And let's face it, you don't become an all-star closer, walking people.
You got to have control to be a relief pitcher.
Right.
You're not going to be a relief pitcher for one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, and not have control, which means he knows what he's doing.
Who was the first one that we saw throwing it in the dirt, Ted?
That was Ortiz.
That was Ortiz.
Yeah.
Well, Ortiz is a starter, but Klass is the better pitcher.
Yeah.
I mean, by the records.
He's a better pitcher if you just go by records.
Yeah.
Wow.
If you go by records.
If we just go by records, he's the better of the two pitchers.
It's funny because Klass looks like the starter and Ortiz looks like the Ortiz looks like the closer.
Ortiz is the bigger guy.
But this is Emmanuel Klass.
There he is right there.
Wow.
As I said, he didn't walk anybody.
So that means a pitch like you saw, maybe he throws it four times in his career.
Yeah.
Wow.
Wow.
Can you, I mean, and if he's, if he's, if he's playing around with balls and strikes as a closer or isn't that ballsy?
That's really screwing your team.
Now, here's why it's worse than steroids.
Steroids are game enhancement.
I see what you're saying.
I get what you're, yeah.
This, this gets really close to you did the wrong bet here.
You can throw a game.
Right.
Steroids, you're just trying.
I lead the articles.
You're striving to play better, do better.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I mean, you know, a lot of these guys got hooked into it because I'd get injured, right?
Yeah.
World series, I'd get injured before they really came down on steroids.
They give me steroids so I could play the next day.
I wasn't taking it to be a bodybuilder or a monster.
I was doing it so that tomorrow, the next day, that wrist injury, when I got hit by the ball on the wrist, I don't feel anything on the wrist, at least until two weeks later.
Right.
Steroids was used in baseball for years.
Not quite when I was in baseball, but shortly thereafter.
Are you also suggesting there's somewhat of a moral, maybe not moral, but there's some sort of argument that makes it different if you're simply trying to give your team, you, your fans, a winning edge?
Here's a great moral question, right?
It's a World Series.
Score 0-0.
I steal second base.
Umpire says safe.
I know I'm out.
Umpire says safe.
They do the replay.
Reply says safe.
I know I'm out.
I saw the guy hit me before.
Yeah.
Do I report it?
Okay.
I want to take the moral question.
Maybe not moral, the right thing.
Aren't I concealing the truth?
But the umpire has a job to do.
The rules are.
Yeah.
Well, I would never, I wouldn't.
You can't because your team.
I'd never play again.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Nobody trusts me.
I mean, I'm not there to make umpires any better.
Yeah.
And then your team's going to be like, wait, wait, are you working for the other side?
Or how about this?
That's a tough one.
If your team is exhausted, you got two more plays left to win the game.
If you can throw a touchdown pass, you're going to win, but your quarterback needs a little time.
You catch a pass.
The clock is running.
You get hit really hard.
They even call a penalty to your clinger injured.
What does he get a timeout?
You get a timeout.
Oh, you're right.
Yes.
Because you caught the pass.
Yes.
If it's within the rules, yes.
You go down.
But let's say you have just not even an injury.
You just get hit.
Yeah.
You get hit.
You didn't make the first down, so the clock's not going to stop.
You're if the rules allow it's second and 15.
You're inching close to field goal range.
You can tie the game or win the game.
Quarterback throws at you.
You've done like five plays in a row to get there.
You know, your quarterback is exhausted.
Your line is like going.
You get hit hard, really hard.
Like you're a tough guy.
You're not even hurt.
But you can claim it easily.
If you can claim it and the rules would then allow for the stoppage.
I guess you do it for the team.
You need the time, right?
You need to stop the clock.
That's completely lying, right?
But it's in, but if it's allowed, but no, but let's it's you yourself know you're lying, then you're lying.
I say you're lying for your team.
I'm not approving it.
I'm just saying that's different than straight up.
I bet against against my team.
And I throw a I deliberately throw an interception.
That reminds me of Pete Rose because you made a good point about Pete Rose.
I used to say, I used to argue, well, Mayer, he only bet on his team to win, right?
And you made a good point, right?
Well, what about the games he didn't bet on?
Yeah.
Doesn't that make those a bet against his team?
No, you just can't get involved in this.
I mean, you can't.
This is, and I, I, I think this is another place where you're right to bring tie it into the rest of the show.
You got this is another situation.
This makes this makes the uh podcast, our first podcast, really important with uh Michael Francisi.
And um, we'll do one with an athlete too, because I did a few with an athlete, shorter interviews.
But um, I'm going to tell you why.
Michael will convince you that gambling addiction possibly is more powerful than alcohol and maybe not maybe not as dangerous as drugs, but as difficult to break.
Right.
Right.
And he said that, um, and he, and so we were talking about the, I mean, I was insanely against, I mean, to the point of like, what are we doing?
This massive gambling on baseball and football and basketball.
I hate it.
It distracts me from the game.
I hated it from the time they do points.
Like I'd be at the garden, even back in the 70s, and the Knicks would be winning by two, three points, and everybody's right because the Knicks are picked by eight.
All of a sudden, the Knicks get to nine points, the whole place gets up with a standing ovation.
We're going to win the game anyway.
I do not like point spreads.
Right.
That you've always been standpoints, but I don't like.
It ruins the game.
You're right.
For us watching it.
I like gambling, but I avoid it because I think it's addictive.
Also, I avoid it for another reason, which gives me a natural, I hate losing.
I feel stupid.
No, no, I think I think of gambling as an intellectual thing.
Yeah.
It's like a few times I would do it in a casino.
If I won, I thought I was very smart.
Yeah.
And then when I lost, I thought I was very dopey.
So I stopped doing it.
Right.
And we tend to lose.
The household.
I mean.
So I have this natural, it's like, you know, somebody who gets drunk on one drink, they're never going to be an alcoholic.
So, and that's good.
It's a good thing for them.
Right.
It's a good protection.
Yeah.
But I never really knew much about gambling addiction.
I never knew much about it until I interviewed Michael.
Right.
And he said there's a lot of it.
And of course, this increase of ubiquitous gambling is just doing the same thing that marijuana has done.
Marijuana has tripled the number of people who use marijuana.
At least it has quadrupled the intensity of it, and it has made organized crimes three times more money.
So here were the arguments for it for 30 years.
Let's legalize marijuana.
People will stop using it because they finished with the thrill of breaking the law.
And it'll take organized crime out of it.
Yep.
And it'll reduce marijuana completely and keep it very legal, very controlled.
Well, marijuana deaths, overdoses have gone up catastrophically in every state that is traffic accidents have gone up dramatically in all of those places.
Now, organized crime is making a fortune.
And you want to look at New York.
There are 120 legal places to get marijuana and 2,000 illegal.
Who's winning?
And the overdoses are through the roof.
And they say, well, it's not a gateway drug.
Hey, that depends on who.
Not for everybody, but for a lot of people.
Very few people are going to go directly to cocaine or marijuana.
You know, if you can stop them before marijuana, it's like the way I stopped riots.
You know, the first guy that throws a rock gets arrested.
The second guy gets arrested.
Somebody breaks a window, he really gets arrested.
It doesn't look really good.
Everybody else doesn't want that to happen.
And we don't have a riot.
It's not my job to protect them exercising their First Amendment rights to peacefully protest.
It's not my job to protect them in being little scumbag criminals.
And that's what you are when you throw a rock.
You're just lucky somebody didn't throw a bigger rock back at you.
Where I came from, they would.
And you deserved it.
So this is very disturbing about the sport that I, I mean, that you love.
I just have to, you know, like I love being a lawyer of all the things that I do the most.
The sport that I love the most is this one.
We started the show.
I can't.
I mean, I can't.
Guardians, Yankees.
No matter what.
Like I said, I was sitting here a couple of weeks ago and the Dodgers, who, you know, I have this, I almost will kill, I was almost killed by Dodger fans.
So you've got to realize there's a lot, you know.
And then a team from Canada with what they're doing to us now, not sitting down for the national anthem and all that stuff after all we've done for them.
I mean, we protect them.
They weren't spending anything on defense.
But that ended up being quite the serious.
They ended up being unbelievable.
I couldn't.
So I'm sitting here and the score is tied.
And he goes into the 10th.
And I'll watch one morning.
And I had work.
I was doing a little work.
I'm doing work.
Okay.
11th inning.
We were talking.
I was calling.
You were calling me.
I was calling you.
I put the work aside.
14.
Will you stop trying to hit home runs?
Yeah.
That's what they were doing, huh?
But there's a reason for that.
The reason is that, particularly with those teams, those teams have very deep pitching.
Yep.
You can tell, yeah.
A lot of teams, you get into the 13, 14 inning, and they're going to bring in a guy who just got out of the little league.
You can first pitch it to come out of the ballpark.
These guys had like 95 mile an hour pitchers up there backs on.
Against a really good pitcher who's really on, it's really hard to produce two hits or three.
You're lucky to get one, and that's why they go for home runs.
It's not so stupid.
It's looking at the odds of how you win in overtime.
And then it depends a little in extra innings.
And it also depends a little on the pitching staff.
So if they were facing, let's say, a weaker pitching staff that was more vulnerable to giving up a lot of hits.
Yeah.
Both the Dodgers and the Blue Jays would have played it differently.
But you also had the other thing about that was you had two very smart managers.
Really smart managers.
There wasn't much dopey about that game.
Yeah.
And that, and the Dodger outfielders.
How many guys did they throw out of the plate?
I think three in extra innings.
Yeah.
What arms?
Wow.
And you say, why did the Blue Jays go home?
Because the odds are with you that something will go wrong.
Right.
You got to get that one-run lead.
I mean, particularly since it's very hard to get hits.
Now you got a guy coming around from second base.
He's on second base.
The ball's in the outfield.
There is a great arm in the outfield, but there's two outs.
You leave him on third base, and the odds are the pitchers going to get the guy out.
So you bring him home and you hope that the ball gets thrown wildly, the catcher drops the ball.
A lot of things go wrong from the time a ball gets thrown to the time a ball gets, didn't go wrong for the Dodgers.
Nor did the Blue Jays do anything wrong.
I mean, the Blue Jays won the series but for.
But for this play, that play, this play, that play.
I mean, you could go back and drive yourself nuts over it.
Well, we'll be back tomorrow.
I am no different today than I was yesterday when I wasn't pardoned.
I am enormously grateful to the president, however, because it does, it doesn't, I don't know.
I think the fear was that if the fascists ever get back in power, they're going to go after all these people again.
I don't know.
So go after me again.
I'll go fight you back.
But I'm glad for a lot of these people who maybe don't have the resources or and weren't even as involved in it as.
I mean, I was his lawyer and Eastman was his lawyer and we're big boys.
And they're big boys too, but they were.
This is their profession.
I don't know what I'm saying.
But what I'm saying is it was very unfair to pick on all those people.
Look, the Bidens wanted to pick on me because if it weren't for me, nobody would know what slime they are.
You'd have no idea of all the money they took from countries.
They have no idea that there's plenty more money stuck somewhere in Ukraine that Zelensky knows about.
I mean, I'm convinced of that.
I can tell you why.
I'm more than convinced of it.
And I'm the guy who brought it all out.
I wanted to destroy me.
The big case with all the money was brought by Hunter Biden's partner for free to try to destroy me.
Yeah.
It could be good in history that I was the guy who helped to destroy the worst president in American history, right?
I discovered the most crooked president in American history.
Bingo.
I'm proud of that.
So I don't know.
So I got to take a little shit for it.
But the president is a mensch, as they say in Yiddish, which is a great language.
Great words in Yiddish.
Mensch.
I used to think that was a bad word.
Oh, no, mensch.
Yeah, that's a good word.
You want to be a mensch.
Yeah.
Like, Bibi's a mensch.
A real mensch.
And so are all the Jewish people, I know.
That's right.
You know, it would be no different if it were happening to me, if they were doing this to Italian people.
Or it's no different than what's happening with Christians.
I mean, only reason I get really upset with Christians is nobody pays attention to them.
It's like, well, you can do this to Christians.
It's okay.
Muslims can kill Christians.
It's okay.
Okay.
They blame the Crusades on the Christians.
The religion was founded to destroy us.
Who do you think caused the Crusades?
The religion was founded to kill Jews and Christians.
Either kill them, either convert them, kill them, and then eventually they got into this mafia extortion thing.
You could pay money, but you'd be a slave.
So who do you think caused those wars?
A bunch of anti-Western civilization horseshit.
So we got a lot of teaching to do.
And that's why we're going to start our podcast again.
And we're going to start Thursday.
We'll put our first one.
It's good to give some time to do that.
It'll be very, very, it'll be very, very timely because now we've been reminded that there's cheating in baseball, basketball.
Oh, my goodness.
What's next, Mayor?
Football.
Why would they like football?
And at the mayor's fan.
There's probably more action on football than anything else.
You're right.
Well, baseball, maybe because there's so many games.
No, but you're right.
Per game, per hour.
Actually, baseball fans bet as much as football fans.
And football, you're right.
It's once a week.
So you got that whole week, and then you're ready to go that weekend, Mayor.
Per capita, per capita.
My experience is basketball fans bet the most.
Football be second.
Boxing used to be very.
Boxing was big, horse racing, of course.
Horse racing, but horse racing is now much smaller.
You have off-track betting that's legal, which hasn't led to a lot of stuff.
Probably because it's not that popular anymore.
Anymore.
Used to be the most popular sport at one time.
Which is amazing.
A bunch of horses running around.
It's the most popular sport.
That's amazing.
Well, I mean, baseball is awesome.
Oh, I loved horse racing.
I used to go photograph.
I'm a horse fan once a year.
Oh, Kentucky Derby.
Yeah, I watched that, though.
I like them all.
But let's pray for the people of Israel.
Let's pray for the Jewish people.
My goodness.
Let's pray for the Christians that are under attack.
And let's pray for the people of Ukraine.
Let's pray for the people of Iran.
And let's pray for us, the United States, so we come together.
And for our president, who's doing way beyond what anybody ever thought he could do.
God bless him and keep him healthy and safe.
So we'll see you tomorrow night at 7 on Lindell and at 8 over here at X. Veterans Day.
Tomorrow will be Veterans Day, and then we'll have the big podcast coming out.
So you better subscribe on X and get ready for it.
And then we'll have one a week.
And who knows, we may expand.
We're going to see how much you like it, okay?
The whole idea is to go into more depth.
God bless America.
It's our purpose to bring to bear the principle of common sense and rational discussion to the issues of our day.
America was created at a time of great turmoil, tremendous disagreements, anger, hatred.
It was a book written in 1776 that guided much of the discipline of thinking that brought to us the discovery of our freedoms, of our God-given freedoms.
It was Thomas Paine's Common Sense, written in 1776, one of the first American bestsellers, in which Thomas Paine explained, by rational principles, the reason why these small colonies felt the necessity to separate from the Kingdom of Great Britain and the King of England.
He explained their inherent desire for liberty, for freedom, freedom of religion, freedom of speech.
the ability to select the people who govern them.
And he explained it in ways that were understandable to all the people, not just the elite.
Because the desire for freedom is universal.
The desire for freedom adheres in the human mind and it is part of the human soul.
This is exactly the time we should consult our history.
Look at what we've done in the past and see if we can't use it to help us now.
We understand that our founders created the greatest country in the history of the world.
The greatest democracy, the freest country, a country that has taken more people out of poverty than any country ever.
All of us are so fortunate to be Americans.
But a great deal of the reason for America's constant ability to self-improve is because we're able to reason.
We're able to talk.
We're able to analyze.
We are able to apply our God-given common sense.
