Time Text
Good evening.
This is Rudy Giuliani.
And as you can see, we are from Palm Beach, Florida, where I assume, unless he's taking a weekend off, we'll ask in a few minutes and find out.
President Trump will be heading about a mile and a half from here.
And his place, Mar-a-Lago, is on that ocean, but it's also on the inner coastal.
But it's only worth a few bucks, according to the crooked New York state Supreme Court justice, who decided it was worth only $18 million.
I don't think I've seen a house around ESL for less than 20 million since then.
Cody Words were not this big.
Exaggerating a little.
Ted and I may do an update on that sometime.
Yeah.
Maybe this weekend, if we're not too tied up, because we may be leaving this weekend for Thanksgiving.
Who knows where we may celebrate Thanksgiving on Plymouth Rock?
Yeah, that's right.
What do you say, Ted?
I like that idea.
Let's get back.
Let's get back to the good old where it all started and also dispel the idea that the early white settlers, and they were one of the earliest, right?
I guess Jamestown came before it, were pugnacious and militaristic.
And they were a group of extraordinarily religious people that ended up having not just a Thanksgiving, but a relatively long-lasting peaceful relationship with the indigenous people.
Now, it was true that the Puritans who came after them, not the Pilgrims, the Puritans who came after them, were much more frightened, one might say, and also, or from the point of view of the people watching them, much more willing to engage in fights when attacked.
In fact, one of the main chiefs of the tribe ended up spending his life ultimately in the colony with the white people.
That was like his nursing home.
We'll get you.
You know, we always do a little historical digging at that time.
So we'll spend a little time next week on, for some people, the most wonderful holiday of the year, Thanksgiving.
Now, sorry, I should be, as I said, a student once for the priesthood and as a Catholic, lapsed him back.
I was never really lapsed, but kind of like, I would say not fully observant like I should be.
But now, very, very dedicated and very since September 11, I've been different.
So here's the here's the situation, right?
I am a little confused.
I don't often get confused, but I do.
And I have been in my life.
And I'm going to interpret what I saw a little while ago the way I think it should be interpreted, including putting into it my faith and my confidence and my friendship with President Trump.
And we are different people.
I was surprised to see not the cordial reception that Mondani received in the White House.
I expected that the president gets a very, very bad rap for being very difficult to deal with.
And as long as you're nice to him and as long as you act in a civil way, no matter what, he'll discuss it with you and work with you in a civil way.
And I fully expected that we were going to see a press conference that'd be surprising to a lot of people.
I didn't think we'd see this almost genuine expression of affection that came across, largely because the guy is different.
He isn't just like another Democrat elected somewhere with liberal views.
The guy is, I'm not going to say the high watermark of what Marx attempted to achieve in other countries, but we're getting there.
I mean, it's when they get the presidency.
But mayor of New York City is, you know, a couple of steps away from the presidency, a big, long couple of steps.
I don't know if anyone ever achieved it, but that doesn't mean anything in politics nowadays.
The amount of Mamdani's attention that he received running for mayor made him, for good or for worse, a national figure already.
The idea you have to be qualified for office went out the air with Obama, really.
I mean, Obama was better qualified than this guy, but it was really pretty thin.
So this reception was odd.
It was odd.
I didn't get it completely.
I see you want to be the good guy.
So now, anything goes wrong, you can say Mamdani screwed up the relationship.
When he attempts very, very hard to, when he attempts very, very hard to have the buses free, which will be a muscle tussle with someone with no muscles, Hochul, but as somebody who's fighting for a political life, I think she thinks that if she makes the buses free, she'll definitely not get re-elected.
Now, honestly, not that I want to give her an encouragement to make the buses free.
I don't think that would be the key to her election or re-election.
I think it's more on his police agenda and on his other parts of his economic agenda.
Making the buses free will impact the state budget dramatically.
And it will create an indicia of socialism that you can argue in the suburbs and all over the rest of New York State, which is as anti-socialist as you are, I hope.
But it wouldn't be the breaking point.
So I could see a compromise done there.
And I don't know how much federal money goes into the MTA.
I can't remember.
Summed up.
I know federal money goes in.
I don't remember how much.
It's not gigantic, but they could screw it up.
So the question is, would the president do that?
Would the president stop free buses?
Free grocery stores, I would think, would be within the mayor's prerogative as long as the city council didn't try to stop him on the use of money.
And the city council, as far as I can tell, is as left, socialist or communist, whichever you'd like, as he is.
So that he can do.
And it's a campaign promise.
And let's see if he keeps it.
If he doesn't, that might be a good sign that the president made the right choice in the fact that this guy might move toward something more like the middle.
I'm trying to think of the test that'll come up right away.
I mean, that one comes up right away.
The other, he's got to go through a big thing with Hochul Pochl.
And Hokkael Pockel could make a legitimate argument to him that, in fact, let's put this off until after my election, because you're really interfering with it right now, because Stefanic will take my head off if I do it.
He wants to change the school system.
This is exceedingly dangerous, not for now, but for later.
He wants the school system taken out from under the mayor.
Now, he just reversed the work of at least Koch, Dinkins, Giuliani, and Bloomberg.
I don't know if all four of us ever agreed on anything.
One of the things we agreed on was the mayor should be in charge of the schools because there has to be accountability because the Board of Education is a effing disaster.
And it is for a reason he's not going to acknowledge because it's communist begun, communist-inspired, and communist-controlled.
And it seeks to, in the long run, has nothing to do with the education of your children.
It is, like any communist organization, completely corrupt.
It exists to create as much money for the people in it and as little work as possible, which is why you see a chart of reading scores, mass scores going down to scandalous numbers and amounts of money being spent going up to scandalous numbers.
So as we doubled the amount of money per student, our reading scores and mass scores went below the 50% line in a city that once had the best public school system in the world.
Now, I guess you could argue that mayoral control didn't do much good, but that's largely because the mayors were sellouts to the teachers' union, including even Bloomberg at the end of his term.
Did a good job for a while until he decided, got it in his head he wanted to run as a Democrat.
So he did what Democrats do.
He caved in the teachers' union and let them run the school system.
So I don't know what's going to happen about that, particularly with the end of the Board of Education, the federal Department of Education.
I don't know what big tests will be there.
He's already taken the test and he wants to do away with mayoral control.
Now, it is possible the legislature won't agree with that, even if he does own the legislature, because it has worked out better from their point of view politically, come to think of it.
Not for the best reasons, but for the worst reasons.
Another thing that he's promised that is very damaging, maybe he'll get switched in his police commissioner choice.
So he made if we're any else but him, everybody be jumping for joy with the police commissioner choice that he made.
She's already been police commissioner for over a year.
She's done all things being equal and the laws that she has to operate under.
She's done a really very good job.
And she seems very sound and very dedicated to the police.
His program is anything but that.
And the question is, is he going to put his program on hold and listen to her?
If he is, then Trump was right to treat him like his long-lost son.
If Trump was wrong, then Trump was wrong.
Now, will he get any flack for that?
I don't think so.
Here's the worst consequence of what he did.
He just reduced dramatically the ability to use Mamdani as a whipping boy so that we can win races all over the way they're going to use Fuentes.
Someone the other day, both Republican and Democratic advisors were discussing and debating, and one said that, you know, Fuentes is our whipping boy, and the other one said Mamdani will replace AOC as yours.
And he said, really, he's a gift that's giving you guys great benefits.
Well, I don't know if we attack him and he shows his pictures hugging with the president.
I think we just lost a big political weapon, which if he does a massive screw up, we can get right back.
I'm not counting on it.
This is very, very, isn't it difficult?
Right.
You're a citizen.
You love your city.
You love your country.
You want your city and your country to succeed.
Now you got a guy in office who looks like, it's a plant, looks like this is, I mean, the DSA is a communist organization.
I'm not doing a McCarthy on you, ladies and gentlemen, believe me.
The DSA gets him in office.
Their job is to move everything in America towards socialism.
They win or lose, not on Mamdani getting elected, but on Mamdani moving it toward whatever that Marxist, whatever that Marxist golden age is.
So it's enormously complex, and I have great confidence in the president.
But what I saw today made me nervous with the sense that he knows what he's doing.
So let's play it out.
We have with us Garrett Castranova, who is in Washington.
I bet she was a little surprised too.
Hey, Mr. Mayor, I was surprised.
I was just like all the other journalists here, really wanting to get in there and ask Mandani some hard questions.
And the most surprising thing I think was that Trump came to save the day for a couple of hard questions that Mandami received from members of the press.
Fox News had some pretty hard questions for him, as did Newsmax and others.
But President Trump was very friendly with Mandani, and it seemed pretty genuine, Mr. Mayor.
It didn't seem fake at all.
It seemed like he had a genuine affection for him.
I don't know what Mandani said, what he said before the press came in to charm the president, but something was said for sure.
So here is a clip of today's meeting where the president is talking about how they might disagree on certain things, but they both want to see New York become great.
Take a look at the people.
We have a meeting today that actually surprised me.
He wants to see no crime.
He wants to see housing being built.
He wants to see rents coming down.
All things that I agree with.
Now, we may disagree how we get there.
The rent coming down, I think one of the things I really gleaned very much today, we'd like to see him come down, ideally, by building a lot of additional housing.
That's the ultimate way.
He agrees with that, and so do I.
But if I read the newspapers and the stories, I don't hear, I don't hear that.
But I heard him say it today, and I think that's a very positive step.
No, I don't expect, I expect to be helping him, not hurting him.
A big help, because I want New York City to be great.
Look, I love New York City.
It's where I come from.
I spent a lot of years there.
Now I'm right here.
We took a big setback with a mayor that we had, Dave de Blasio.
I thought it was a tremendous setback for the city.
I think this mayor can do some things that are going to be really great.
So I know you were as surprised as I was, Mr. Mayor.
I never thought I would hear that, but I did.
I imagine there's a strategy there, and I trust him.
So let's see what happens.
I mean, the chances that he's going to succeed with those programs, well, it's about 27 to 1 against it.
Every socialist attempt ended up in death and destruction.
So God forbid it happens with his attempt.
I know.
It was a surprising meeting for sure.
And President Trump also spoke on how much interest there was with the press.
And today was probably one of the most crowded days here at the White House, more than really most foreign leaders get.
We were really sort of just all surrounding.
And Stephen Chung, the White House press deputy, put out a funny tweet.
What are you guys doing as he took a picture from outside his window?
There was hundreds of us out there sort of desperate to get in a question with Mendami, hoping he'd walk out of the door and we could kind of just unleash questions on him.
But here is President Trump talking about the press interest in this meeting.
The press has eaten this thing up.
You know, I've had a lot of meetings with the heads of major countries.
Nobody cared.
This meeting that you people have gone, you know, outside you have hundreds of people waiting.
This is just a small little group.
For some reason, the press has found this to be a very interesting meeting.
The biggest people in the world, they come over from countries.
Nobody cares.
But they did care about this meeting, and it was a great meeting.
Go ahead.
Is that true?
Was there that many press?
It was true.
Oh, yeah.
And what about what about the question?
Was he asked questions at some point?
Oh, Mandani, no, he didn't take questions.
So he came out.
I guess his press team deemed that he didn't want to take questions.
And then we were gathered in Lafayette Park right over there.
There was a scheduled, I guess, he was going to address some of his supporters who were outside of the gate, some really weird Antifa types, to say the least, who were holding signs saying stuff like, Christianity is not the United States is not a Christian nation.
I got into it with a girl out there holding a sign with Antifa signage on her cart.
So these are the types that are out there supporting Mandani.
And he was going to go out there to Lafayette Park and address them, but I guess they figured it wasn't secure enough for whatever the reason.
And everybody here at the White House, I'd say about 200 journalists ran out those gates and over into the park to try to catch a question with him.
The journalists were acting a little out of control, pushing and shoving.
And I guess his team decided to just call kaputz on it.
And they were like, no, we're not going to address the press.
You guys are acting too crazy because people were really thirsty to get questions.
And I think he has some supporters in the press and some people in the press who genuinely dislike him.
He wanted to really challenge him on some of his communist ideas, how are they really going to work and whatnot.
So it was an interesting day to say the least.
I have another clip from you.
This is another surprising one.
Again, there were journalists in the room that really were challenging Mandani, saying things like, well, you've called President Trump a fascist before.
Do you really believe he's a fascist?
Say it to his face.
You're standing here right now in the Oval Office.
And President Trump came in, literally swooped down to save the day.
Take a watch.
Are you affirming that you think President Trump is a fascist?
I've spoken about.
That's okay.
You could just say okay.
It's easier.
It's easier than explaining it.
I don't mind.
So, yeah, hard question.
And President Trump sort of intervened.
I don't know what this guy said.
Maybe he's like some sort of charming guy that could maybe, Mr. Mayor, if he sat down with you, you would be feeling the same way about him.
He definitely has charm.
He definitely has charisma.
Certainly, that's how he got elected was based solely on his charisma and that charm that he has.
So he definitely charmed the president.
Maybe they do agree on certain things.
I mean, there is an affordability issue, obviously caused by Joe Biden and Democrats.
And there was an actual good question in there where a reporter said, you know, New York City has been run by Democrats for a very long time.
Do you blame your party for the demise of New York?
And that I thought was a really fair question because it's the truth.
Maybe he will adopt some Republican policies.
President Trump really cares about New York.
As you know, it's his home city.
It's my home city.
It's your home city.
Right.
And maybe he just figures that keeping this is a socialist, a borderline communist.
And, you know, his ideas are not going to work.
But if President Trump is helping him and President Trump is, you know, working with him, then he has a better shot, I guess, of really improving New York, which is good, I guess, for New Yorkers, but maybe not so good when it comes to fundraising for Republicans.
So I guess we'll have to just see how this plays out.
But for a surprising meeting today, for now, given based on what we know, that's a very good analysis.
I think that if the president is right and he can work with him, that would be wonderful.
It would be wonderful if everybody, except maybe the narrow interests of the Republican Party being able to win on his back.
We don't really shouldn't have to need him to win.
But we should be able to win on the things we're doing for the country.
But it doesn't always work that way.
And if it goes wrong.
Go ahead.
If it goes well, you were going to say probably what I was.
If it goes wrong, it doesn't really hurt the president.
He took a shot and the guy turned out to be a crazy, nutty socialist where the city's economy has fallen apart and crime is going through the roof.
And his police commissioner walks out on him when he refuses to give her the police she needs to do the job.
She doesn't have the right number of police.
She's down about 5,000.
And he doesn't want to give her any more police.
Wants to keep it at 35.
Oh, yeah.
It was 41,000 on September 11.
It's 35,000 now.
So, I don't know.
Does it get another terrorist attack that's worse than September 11 and it needs more than 41,000?
It will be going into the next terror attack with a dramatic reduction, not only in the size of the police department, but in the size of some of the critical units that made it possible for us to get through that day and then ward off future attacks, both under me and then later more under Bloomberg and Kelly.
As Ray Kelly will tell you, those have been decimated.
So there are real issues here, not just, you know, kind of smiling and making jokes.
People's lives are at stake.
So let's see what happens.
You and I will both have a lot of people.
Let's see what happens.
And I think we will be watching.
And the last thing I want to say is: you know, President Trump really, like you said earlier, doesn't really have anything to lose with this.
And maybe he has something to gain.
Obviously, if he could assist in making New York great again and take a little bit of credit for that, you know, helping Mendani maybe make things more affordable, but using, you know, mixing capitalism, I guess, with his communist ways and making him realize that to do a good job as mayor, maybe he could take a little bit of advice and strategy from the president of the United States, who obviously knows more than anybody besides you about New York City.
How could President Trump lose?
I mean, obviously, I think that it's only a winning scenario for the president.
And if things go wrong, then he could say, I told you so.
So, you know, like I said, I think that it was nice to see for me people getting along for once.
It has become really divisive.
I mean, I got to say, it was nice.
And, you know, Zoman Mandani is a young man, and President Trump is an older man.
And just to see like the bridge of the generations and them getting along and being on such political opposite ends of the spectrum and just showing respect for each other was sort of refreshing.
I'm not going to lie.
I did enjoy that part of it, Mr. Mayor.
Well, that's good.
That's good.
It sounds like it charmed you, too.
Well, President Trump, President Trump, I follow his lead.
I'm not going to lie.
He must have seen something in Mandani that made him want to.
He had to see something.
And he has good judgment.
So I'm going to go with that.
Yeah, I see how he charms President Trump.
So now we know how we won all of those votes.
May I just go on record as I love President Trump.
I trust him.
I hope it all works out well.
But I would say that.
I treat you.
We both do.
I would not have treated the guy that way.
I'm sorry.
I know I would have.
A guy who hates Israel, a guy who hates Jews, a guy whose father is one of the most vicious anti-Semites and supporters of the movement that kills so many of my people and justified it.
He himself has gone pretty far in justifying those things.
It'd have been hard.
I could have been nice to him.
It could never have been that.
But that's okay.
Everybody's different.
Thank you, Kara.
Thanks, Mr. Mayor.
So let's hope we're not going to spend all our time on that because it's not going to get resolved now.
This is going to get resolved over the next four or five months.
We'll see what direction Mandambi is going in.
To just back you up, if you don't cover New York carefully, you know, and watch it as I do, all of his appointments have been either way off the charts, left-wing pure communists from the socialist Democrats of America.
One appointment of what the press kind of sucked around saying was a New York professional.
I know the New York professional.
He began his career with a guy who ended up in federal prison, the head of the legislature, Sheldon Silver.
I think many Democrat and Republican would say he was the most crooked man in Albany.
And he touts his great knowledge and experience as coming from Sheldon.
He is a complete 100% certified member of the Democratic dictatorship of New York.
His ideas on the economy, which one newspaper said shaped New York's economy, do we need to know anything else?
New York's economy is in double, triple bankruptcy.
It spends two and a half New York State spends two and a half times the money of the state of Florida.
New York City spends exactly the same amount of money as the state you see in back of me.
That state in back of me has 22 million people.
New York City has 8 million.
They spend the same amount of money.
That place in back of me has 22 million people.
They spend about $130 billion on their budget.
New York state, New York State spends pretty much double that on its budget with 4 million fewer people.
The amount of corruption in New York is beyond the point of anything other than ruining it.
There's no indication that this guy has any intent or ability of the child to do anything about it.
I could be wrong.
The president could be right.
I sure wouldn't bet on him.
I will pray for him because I truly mean.
I wish I'm wrong.
I wish the guy does a conversion.
I hope he goes home tonight.
An angel appears to him and says, hey, take a look at the second part of the Quran when it's done in chronological order and see if you really want to be part of a religion that was headed by a man who was a consummate murderer, who spread religion by murder.
Not a way to spread religion, right?
Now that we're in the 21st century, we should be able to figure that out.
And how about getting away from all of those Islamic murderers that you support?
That's not nice.
I'm not going to make you a good mayor of a city that used to be the largest Jewish city in the world and stopped trying to make us into an Islamic city.
They had a big Islamic prayer thing on Times Square.
I don't know if I tried to have a big Catholic prayer thing on Times Square, they'd probably arrest me.
Jewish prayer thing, they were taken down.
They were taking down Stars of David.
And let's see if they're going to let them put up the Hanukkah thing this year.
They almost didn't under de Blasio.
Blasio had a particular hatred of Jewish people, particularly the Hasidim.
So story number two, the truce proposal with Ukraine.
What?
Okay, let's just take a look at the terms.
Then we'll take a break as you absorb them and tell me who wins, who loses, and who loses big time in the future on this one.
So according to what I get, I'm taking this out of the leak of it.
Ukraine will receive reliable security guarantees and its sovereignty confirmed.
It is unclear what those security guarantees are.
And its sovereignty had been confirmed, except almost three years ago, Russia broke that guarantee, severed it, and invaded them.
It had promised when it got the nuclear weapons back not to ever attack Ukraine.
And the United States had also promised to protect it.
Worked out well for the Ukrainians, huh, on that one.
So I guess that one we can say isn't what the paper is written on.
Second, Ukraine will limit its army to 600,000.
It will not be admitted to NATO, and NATO troops will not be posted there.
Here they fought a war to save themselves.
In some ways, they lost, in some ways, they won.
They lost 20% of their territory.
Why would Russia want them to give up the rest of their troops?
So you think about that during the break, okay?
If Russia reinvades Ukraine, a decisive, coordinated military response will follow.
Though it's unstated whether that would include the U.S. or NATO, or anyone else for that matter.
Some amorphous group just going to come out of the goodness of the heart and protect Ukraine, just like they did a few years ago.
Crimea, Uhansk and Donetsk will be recognized as de facto Russian, which means Russia gets to keep everything it captured, including by the United States.
This means Ukraine will withdraw even from the portions of the Donetsk that they still control and that Russia has been fighting for for years to take by force, except they will get the portion of Donetsk it's the only thing they really want which is the fortress that has stopped them from being able to invade uh, the middle part of Ukraine.
It is estimated, and has been for a year, that if they get that, they could be in.
They could be with ground forces that have a straight line to Kyiv in a matter of months, and that was the main, one of the main things that was stopping them, and they have spent three and a half years to destroy that, and they've lost more of their troops there than any place else.
So they're just going to get that out of the way.

So we were going over the agreement with the agreement that is proposed by the United States and Russia.
Have they agreed to this?
I don't know.
Russia.
To the Ukraine and meetings between Ukraine and Steve Witkoff.
Steve Witkoff has indicated that Ukraine is leaning toward it, favorable, possibly favorable.
I think I'm sorry, but maybe Zelitsky is in such trouble, he's got to agree to anything.
And not that I'm sympathetic with him, that he's in trouble.
He deserves to be in trouble because the man has been covering up some of the biggest crimes in history and also has worked with some of the crookedest people in history.
But at any event, this would be a total capitulation with just a little bit of sugar put on his tongue.
To be told to limit your army is to be told that the country that wants you, that's right next to you, to limit your army, wants to invade you in the future.
Now, that becomes even more obvious when the country has already invaded you with the purpose of taking your whole country and only getting 25% of it.
So you would now limit your ability to defend.
And I guess Putin has figured the right number.
If you had been at only 600,000 troops when he first came in, he'd now have Kiev, which is what he wants.
So that's a point one as to how any halfwit in the fifth grade can figure out that Putin is aiming for Kiev through this agreement with Steve Witkoff and the United States.
The second thing is that there'll be security guarantees for Ukraine.
Well, first of all, Ukraine's got to be really careful about security guarantees and agreements because it had a really good agreement with Russia and the United States that they wouldn't be invaded.
And that was violated with no consequence, including no help from the United States of a direct nature, indirect, enough to hold off, not enough to win, enough to lose a lot of people, but not win.
So that's another one that is very, very damaging.
The one, when you put it together with the when you put it together with the 600,000 army and also the agreement that there'll be no outside troops ever, not from NATO, but they will be able to defend themselves.
But NATO can't come in.
Can NATO troops come in?
Can the troops come in from United States and France and elsewhere and protect them?
What good would it do if Russia, gee, suppose Russia had like a clear avenue just to go right to Kiev and take it over?
And they were not allowed to have permanent or any troops there, but they'd have to go get them, which would take weeks to figure out.
But suppose, unlike now, where Ukraine has held them off from getting into the rest of Ukraine without a terrible price, largely because of a defensive fortification.
Let me show you on the map where that defensive fortification is.
That defensive fortification is right over here.
That's called, that's Donesk.
What they want, they want that defensive fortification.
They want to wipe it out.
Get rid of it.
They've been trying to wipe it out for two and a half years, and they've lost more troops there percentage-wise than anyplace else.
Now, if they get that defensive fortification, here is what the expert generals say, including the one I trust the most, General Kane, who's on Fox.
Without that defensive fortification, this road to Kiev is all as a whole low land road that could be easily protected on either side.
And your military could move through there a lot easier than it did when it moved through here, which is what it did in the last two years.
So look, it's approximately the same line, isn't it?
Instead of going in that direction, instead of going from here to here, they go from here to here.
And I know if they got anything like half a patent, they can get there before anybody from Poland, because they're not allowed to be in Ukraine.
They got to come.
Or Slovakia or Romania or any of the other places that are NATO places can come and help them.
It's just hard to figure out what I'm doing.
Am I crazy that this is a, I don't know.
I mean, why even ask Ukraine to sign it?
It was kind of embarrassing to sign your demise.
Right.
It's also totally against the interest of the United States to let Russia have this kind of victory.
I am as sure of that as I am that the mafia, that I could take the mafia down or turn New York City around.
Maybe even sure.
I probably know more about communism than either one of those two things.
This agreement worries me.
I hope it's a boy.
I suggest reading Douglas Murray, but why should the commitment not go the other way?
Why should Russia not be expected to have the size of its military force?
Why should Russia not give back the land it's stolen?
Why shouldn't Russia suffer some cost for starting this brutal bloody war in the first place?
Because Russia won and the West lost.
They were trying to become part of the West.
They've now been cut off permanently from doing that.
They're supposed to have their sovereignty returned.
This is a sovereign nation.
Their military is limited to 600,000.
They can't join NATO and they can't have any foreign troops in there.
That's a sovereign nation.
I think they better cross the word sovereign out.
And we better start negotiating like Americans, Westerners, people in Western civilization, and not like Marxist pigs, because they're the ones who change the meaning of words.
Sovereign means you get to make your own choices over your country, which means if you want to have 2 million troops, you can have 2 million troops.
If you want to have visiting troops, you can have visiting troops.
If you don't want to give up your best defensive readout, you don't have to.
So sorry that I have to talk to you this way.
This is not where I want to be.
But I told you, my country and Western civilization come first, not blind adherence to whatever, blind anything.
Mamdani made a deal with Jennifer Tish.
What is going to be as interesting to see how long that relationship lasts, as well as the one with Trump.
Now, here's what could happen.
This is unrealistic as hell.
The guy could just change his mind.
I mean, Koch did it.
Now, Koch wasn't him.
Koch wasn't variantly anti-Jewish, just the opposite, obviously.
Koch didn't believe in complete out-and-out socialist solutions, but he went in that direction before he was mayor.
And he was associated with the independent Democratic Party, which was then the more independent, the honest version of it, and fighting off Carmine DiSapio, who to a very large extent was mafia-controlled.
And Koch, but Koch was never, Koch was never really thought of as a socialist, nor do I think he had some, like, I don't think Koch would ever have contemplated making the buses free or taking over grocery stores or that kind of thing.
But he was pretty liberal for his time.
And he became a very, very conservative mayor with one major failing.
He sat on top of a crooked government, totally crooked government, a little like Adams, except he was far more effective than Adams.
But he changed.
Shocked me, shocked everyone.
By the time he was there four years, he had legitimately done what Clinton did.
He triangulated.
He took the Republican Party platform.
And the only thing he didn't do is lower taxes.
Taxes he was a Democrat on.
But on everything else, particularly law and order, he was heavily Republican.
And it didn't start off that way.
So maybe, maybe in his long history with the city, the president is thinking of his old nemesis Koch.
Could be.
But now we go take a look at Israel.
We go a little, you know, we go a little bit toward the west there from Ukraine.
We have a ceasefire in Israel, right?
Right.
Well, we do.
We have a ceasefire.
That's what it says.
Come on, didn't you ever read 1984?
On paper.
It says under the rules of 1984, if it says we have a ceasefire in Israel, what do we have in Israel?
Forget what's really going on.
I'm playing a game with you.
This is double cease.
This is a 1984 game.
We have.
So there's no.
The authorities say we have a ceasefire in the Middle East with Gaza and Israel.
So that means we don't have a ceasefire in the Middle East.
It means we have a war.
Double ceasefire.
It means that the Israelis killed 75 Gazans last night.
And the Gazans the night before killed 12 Israelis.
And they've been doing it every day, every night, shooting each other up.
And most importantly, by the terms of the agreement, we actually don't have an agreement because the agreement requires them to go and demilitarize.
And they are refusing steadfastly to demilitarize.
So they're going to keep their guns.
They're not just going to keep them, they're going to use them, like to shoot Jews.
And what do you think Israel is going to do?
Sit there and say, oh, we have a ceasefire.
You can kill us now.
No, what they're going to do is go kill 10 times more of them.
So from Israel, from Bibi's point of view, it's a little like what was going on under Biden.
Don't invade.
He invaded.
Don't invade so far, you invaders further.
Gosh, don't.
If you go into the southern part of, if you go to the southern part of the country, you can always lose 100,000 people are going to die.
No, more like about 20.
And they took it over.
Oh, you shouldn't really confront.
You can't do two wars at once.
And we're not going to support that Hezbollah and Hamas.
They just wiped Hezbollah out.
I don't know if we even asked them if we should take, if, I don't know if Israel even asked them if they should take Syria down, but they did.
So I think in that case, in this case, Israel is getting the real issue is getting rid of Hamas, right?
The whole misconception.
The same thing with genocide.
There's a genocide in Gaza.
In Israel.
That would mean that the Israelis are trying to destroy all of the Palestinian people.
Not that they're conducting war with a specific group like the Nazis were, right?
That attacked them, not just on October 7th, but for, Well, for the last 10 years for sure, 50 years actually and sporadically killed three, four, five, 10, 20, 2, 6, 15, two intifadas.
I've been there and saw a young girl with all kinds of shrapnel in her face asking me, will I ever be pretty?
She wasn't a competent.
She was a civilian.
She wasn't a Palestinian.
She was Israeli, and it was done by Palestinians.
And there were about 40 others of her teenagers in the hospital suffering from injuries, life-threatening, as bad as her, and not as bad.
And there were a large number dead.
That was the second time I was in Israel as mayor of New York to try to help, to try to help restore confidence and give my expertise, whatever it was, to my good friend Ehud Omer, who was the mayor of Jerusalem the first time that I went and rode the bus with him, which I met someone who took that bus the other day.
Really?
Maria and I met someone who took the bus with me, remembered it, and said very, very embarrassing things about me that I, you know, I get embarrassed when people say that.
Interesting.
You've got to get him on the show.
We got his number.
We will.
Okay.
We will.
So this has been going on forever with these guys, forever and ever and ever.
Yeah.
So this, although I do see the absurdity of it or the or the hypocrisy of it, I do see the because we have Bibi and because I'm willing to credit with the president this idea of a good guy, bad guy relationship with Bibi, I don't see the president stopping him.
He could try.
I don't know if it would work.
I think it would.
At this stage, I think it would work if the president said, oh, stop it, stop it.
Bibi would have a good argument.
What do you want me to do?
Just have them kill my people and not do anything about it?
Which I think the president's answer to would be, no, I don't want you to do that.
So Hamas, by not giving up their arms, is giving Bibi yet more time to eliminate them, which is what is considered genocide.
Eliminating a terrorist group, I'm sorry, is not genocide.
Eliminating a people by killing all the Jewish people that Hitler wanted to do is genocide.
Or like Iran wants to do.
That's genocide.
Or like China is doing.
They're not just eliminating some people.
They're eliminating the entire group.
So I don't exactly know what the strategy is.
I do know it is preventing moving on with a peace plan.
But I mean, every day they wipe out more and more of Hamas, the more likely a peace plan will work.
So maybe that's how the complexities and the dishonesty and the trickery and the mislabeling of diplomacy, as it can lead to bad results, can lead to good results.
There was a poor, we spoke last night about the Muslim Brotherhood in Texas being declared a terrorist group along with CARE, which is for any sensible human being and not some kind of a brainwashed left-wing fart.
Of course, they're a terrorist organization, but there's a 200-page report put out by the Institute for the Study of Global Anti-Semitism and Policy that documents the numerous, the numerous terrorist activities of the Muslim Brotherhood, which, of course, overthrew the president of Egypt within the last 10 years and is despised by the president of Egypt and the reason why he wouldn't allow Palestinians in Egypt.
But they have infiltrated over 600 campuses and were at the heart of many of the student protests that were so strongly supported by the president's new good friend, Zoran Mandami.
Well, you come over to X and we'll have more about that.
We'll have more about what the heck's going on in the Middle East that could get us from where we are now to peace.
And then some of the steps the president is taking to very, very quickly adjust this cost of living situation.
Because the one thing he can do that in this situation Biden couldn't do is he can be flexible and adjust really quickly.
And he is.
It's amazing how things are changing so quickly.
So you come over to X, and when you finish with us, you go to Dr. Maria, come back to Lindell at nine o'clock.
This is Rudy Giuliani.
God bless America.
