America's Mayor Live (809): The True Meaning of Thanksgiving (2025 Edition)

Happy Thanksgiving.
This is Rudy Giuliani, and this is America's Mayor Live.
And this is live from New Hampshire, as you can see from our nice, beautiful Thanksgiving, wintry background.
I have to say, it's cold here, but it's not, you know, when one thinks of New Hampshire, you think of freezing, cold.
It must be about 40, 35, more than 35.
Parts of the rest of the country are in fairly deep trouble, unfortunately, and the trouble is getting worse over the weekend in terms of weather.
So let's begin with Thanksgiving, because there is, as is the case in human life on every day, good days, bad days, in between days.
Life is a combination of the beautiful things and the terrible things that happen.
And this Thanksgiving, I guess, is quite a dramatic example of that.
But let's begin with the celebration that goes back to 1621, about 100 and something miles from here, at Plymouth Rock, at the Plymouth Plantation at that point.
It was no longer Plymouth Rock, when after a year plus of working together with several local tribes, the Mayflower people who survived,
which were half of the people who left, and then by that time, certainly less than half, because some died here, and the Indians that worked with them very, very closely celebrated Thanksgiving together.
What they did was it was kind of a combination of the tribe's own Thanksgiving celebration for the harvest, for the bountifulness of the land, and also the Christian tradition of these, these were not Puritans.
These were really protesters against the Church of England and even the Methodist and Presbyterian churches, who they thought as being too much tied up in ceremony, too much tied up in maybe even papism, even though they had rebelled against the Pope.
It was a succession of revolutions against the Pope so that you have at the time the Church of England, which was about as close to the Roman Catholic Church as it could be, except for the fact that the Mass was said in English eventually, and the head of the church was the king or queen of England.
Then the Methodist were sort of the establishment objection to the Anglicans being too close to papism.
And the Presbyterians were the Scottish objection to that and also to not wanting to be tied up with the Church of England.
They wanted the Church of Scotland.
That was the Presbyterian Church.
And then there were more Protestant movements that felt that those churches were just a mere reflection of the Catholic Church, pretty much the they didn't see the differences, although there were quite substantial differences.
And then you had a lot of movements develop.
The reason I tell you all this is people confuse these early settlers that came to Plymouth Rock with the Puritans who came to Massachusetts a generation later, people that were really associated with Oliver Cromwell in England.
They were, and the reason it's different is the ability to get along with what we would call then the Indians, now the Native Americans, was much greater for these early settlers.
They were much more flexible people, let's put it that way.
They had their objections to the Roman Catholic Church, the Church of England, etc., etc.
But they were basically very, very literal Christians, love people.
Everyone are children of God.
If you read their Huey Winthrop and their books, you can see these were very kind and brave, brave, brave people.
A very, very strong love of God.
Puritans were almost the modern-day Pharisees in a way.
And they were really harsh.
They did away with all celebration.
It's the influence really of the Puritans that knocked Christmas out of America for about 150 years.
They didn't believe in celebrating Christmas.
They didn't believe in celebrating.
That's where the anti-alcohol, all of that comes in, which maybe is good, maybe is bad, but that wasn't the only thing about them.
So this celebration, this Thanksgiving celebration, which is far different than what we do now in one way, in another, is a wonderful, a wonderful story for us, a really wonderful story of people that came from truly different worlds.
It couldn't be more different.
And of course, there was some violence, some, not much, not what came later, mostly helping each other.
The settlers needed a tremendous amount of help because although they came there with grand plans for agriculture and everything, they didn't really know the land or the seasons.
And of course, they didn't land exactly where they thought they would, et cetera, et cetera.
Instead of coming there and killing them, the native tribes worked with them to get the benefit of their knowledge and their more advanced instruments.
And in some cases, there were more advanced systems of agriculture that could work in that soil, but also varying it to fit what would work in New England and what worked for them.
And they learned from each other and they became very close, such that the leader of the main tribe finally retired with the settlers, living with them, like it was his nursing home.
So this was a beautiful celebration.
It's not one day, it's a three-day celebration.
And they didn't have to leave the day after for Black Friday bargains because they didn't have two pennies to scratch together, neither one of them.
And everything was a bargain, or you couldn't do it.
So I think I would behoove all Americans to spend time studying this.
And please, please crack through the sophomoric and ahistorical attempts of the left-wingers who try to destroy every part of American history, which is a deliberate piece of learning from Karl Marx and communism in general.
Eventually, Thanksgiving celebrations broke out in all of the colonies.
They were very varied, very different.
In 1863, at the turning point of the Civil War, Abraham Lincoln, our hero president, right?
I mean, he stands in a place with George Washington that is similar to being a very high-ranking saint in the Roman Catholic Church.
Abraham Lincoln declared a day of Thanksgiving as the last Thursday in November.
And then it repeated and repeated and repeated and repeated until 1939, when Franklin Roosevelt moved it a week earlier.
Now, why did he do that?
He did it because the Depression was worse after two terms of Roosevelt than it was when Roosevelt came in.
Now, Democrats will not tell you that Roosevelt was a failure in dealing with the Depression.
He did not cure the Depression.
What cured the Depression was our agreement with England to do Lend-Lease, which England paid us for.
And we built the greatest army in the history of the world in three years.
And then we also created the greatest economy in the history of the world from that.
And that's what took us out of the Depression.
And then the reverberating effects of that for the next 20 years caused inflation and all kinds of other things.
But it's what made us by far the dominant, both military and financial country in the world.
This Thanksgiving was celebrated all over the country, still being celebrated, I guess.
The last football game is still being played, professional football game, quite possibly the last high school games are being played on the West Coast.
And some are played at night, depending on where you are.
The idea of a Thanksgiving Day football game is very, very prevalent.
It used to be more.
More of the high schools have moved their Thanksgiving Day game to the Friday after to tomorrow or to Saturday.
But there still are a significant number.
And the NFL has gone in the other direction.
The NFL for many, many years when I was growing up, the game was always the game as it was today, the Packers and the Detroit Lions.
Oh, my gosh, it had to be at least 20 years of that in a row, 25 years.
First time the Lions played somebody else, I thought there was a mistake.
Maybe all the Packers got the flu or something.
Now, they do the traditional game.
Proud reports that the Packers did, in fact, beat the Lions today.
Well, I'll let Ted say that.
I'll let Ted say that.
He's very, very happy.
We may have had to have given him some sedative or something else to prepare him for the show if they had lost.
And they didn't just beat them.
They look dominant.
And a Tigers are no pushover.
The Lions are no pushover.
They're a good team.
They are.
Did Dallas end up beating.
Please report?
Well, the Cowboys did win.
They beat the Chiefs.
Yeah, I rarely root for the Cowboys.
I did this time.
Right.
I mean, it's really unfair.
I'm unfair.
I'm certain the coach is a very sensible conservative.
And the quarterback, who is one of the greatest, you know, it can be hard to beat Brady, but you got to put him up.
You got to put him up.
Mahomes has to go up there with Brady, right?
You know, pushing him, right?
Like Will Gehrig was to Ruth or something.
Look at the Super Bowls he's won.
Look at the way he pulled games out.
Like him a lot.
I like the rest of the team a lot.
But this whole Taylor Swift thing and the politics of it really annoyed the hell out of me.
Let me get over it because they are a good team.
And it's, you know, as a Giant fan, it's hard to root for the Cowboys.
Although I have rooted for them in Super Bowls.
You have?
As an Eastern Division fan, as a National Conference fan instead of American Conference, I almost always, almost always go with, I mean, at one time, the Eastern Division dominated the Super Bowl.
I think we went like 10 out of 11 years with an Eastern Division team representing the NF, the National Conference.
The Giants, the Redskins, Dallas were dominant.
And the Eagles.
All those teams, I mean, they don't really have a shrumpy team in the Eastern Division.
I mean, some places have a team that's never won a Super Bowl.
Like Detroit.
Detroit, the Eastern Division, all of those teams have won.
Dallas probably the most, but the Giants have won four or five, right?
Redskins have won four or five.
Eagles, three or four.
The Eagles recently, the Giants, semi-recently.
Well, a long time ago.
For me, it's a long time ago.
Well, the Giants?
2012.
Yeah, okay.
It's a long time, but you're right.
But altogether, we have two under Peyton Manning.
We have the loss in 2001 to Baltimore.
So that's three appearances and two wins.
We have the win against Buffalo.
So that's three wins.
And we have the win against Denver.
So we've been in it.
We've won it four times.
I think we've been in six.
Yeah.
We've been in quite a few.
And two different eras.
The Sims LT era and the Manning era.
Eli.
So did you give me an answer on who won, Cowboys or Case?
The Cowboys defeated them 31 to 28.
It was a good game, though.
It was a very good one.
I couldn't watch the end of it because I was preparing for the show, but I could hear a lot of yelling and screaming.
And Dallas, Dallas is a Dallas gets a lot of fans of the other team because everybody wants to go see the stadium.
And I do have to say, even though there are newer stadiums now than that stadium, it's the best.
You would say Dallas has the best.
You can't even, you can't even, don't even argue with me.
And don't even argue with me because I'm prejudiced against the Cowboys.
And the minute I saw it, I said, he built a jewel here.
And it works.
Everybody thought it wouldn't work because we're going to hold 100,000 people.
I can't work.
The big screen in the middle is going to be terrible.
You won't be able to watch.
Nobody's going to pay attention to the game.
The big screen in the middle is fabulous.
You get to see, you know, we're all used to watching football on television, right?
And I don't care how good you are, unless you're a professional and a real professional.
You can't watch every even the referees miss a penalty will take place outside of their being able to see it.
You can't watch an entire play.
I don't care.
Nobody can.
Yeah.
I bet even Lombardi and Landry and weren't able to watch an entire play.
So the replay is enormously important.
Yes.
And adds to the game a lot.
So if you're at the game, you've become so spoiled with the replay.
I don't, I think a lot of people, I remember people telling me that they wouldn't go to the game, they wanted to watch it at home because they could watch it better with the replay.
And then a lot of people would bring little portable televisions with them.
And before that, radio, so they could hear the color commentary.
Now you see the play afterwards.
Every play.
You see it right up there.
All you have to do is look up like that.
It does not get in your way.
I think maybe one or two footballs have hit it in 30 years or 25 years.
It's a beautiful, beautiful stadium.
Wow, you've been to the new one.
Yeah, I've been at a Super Bowl there too.
That was not the Packers?
Packers were there.
110.
I've forgotten who played.
110,000 at the Super Bowl.
They've had two Super Bowls.
They had a couple there at the New York.
Yeah, at least two.
Thanksgiving weather.
East and Midwest are being hit with varying degrees of snow from the Great Lakes to New England, although it's not snowing here.
The worst temperatures are about 20 below normal, not below zero, but below normal.
Gusty winds, particularly in the Chicago area, of about 40 miles per hour.
Did they have the parade went off today?
We have a little picture of it.
Yep.
Yeah, we'll have that up in just a second.
I'm going to balance it for you.
So the president put out a beautiful proclamation for Christmas, which is a, in terms of a national holiday, it is a presidentially organized holiday.
Lincoln organized it.
Roosevelt changed it.
And the first Thanksgiving in the New World was celebrated in 1621, nearly a year after the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth in the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1798.
1789, sorry.
George Washington became the first of many U.S. presidents to formally proclaim a day of public Thanksgiving and prayer.
President goes on to say, I do Recommend and assign Thursday, the 26th of November next, to be devoted by the people of these states to the service of a great and glorious being, who is the beneficent author of all the good that was, that is, or that will be, that we may then all unite in rendering unto him our sincere and humble thanks for his kind care and protection of the people of this country previous to their becoming a nation.
Beautiful.
Here's some video from New York.
I do therefore invite my fellow citizens in every part of the United States and also those who are at sea and those who are sojourning in foreign lands to set apart and observe the last Thursday of November next as a day of thanksgiving, giving and praise to our beneficent Father who dwelleth in the heavens.
And so it was until Franklin Roosevelt in 1939 moved the celebration to the third Thursday in November to stimulate the present era Christmas sales.
But then in two years moved it back.
And there is the present parade.
That's the president's from today.
Well, it looks to me now as an expert on eight of these parades and more as a father taking his son and daughter to these parades.
Used to carry them first Andrew and then Caroline on my shoulders.
I will tell you now as an expert on these parades that that balloon is low, Ted.
So there had to be heavy winds.
That balloon is lower than the optimum level.
There are at least three levels, very high, high, and low.
That's the lowest level.
Any lower and the parade's called off.
Largely because a person died when a balloon hit a traffic light.
And I appointed some of my best people to figure out how to make it safer.
Notice there are no traffic lights.
You don't see any traffic.
That street right there, that intersection, there'd be at least three traffic lights normally like tomorrow, three traffic lights will be there.
They've all been moved to the side.
We made them movable.
Came down.
We haven't had any problems since then.
We did have a problem after it, not a death, but a balloon that was up too high and injured some people.
And that's where the balloon regimen came in.
So at certain miles per hour, the balloons are, as I said, very high, high, medium, low.
It's about two to four levels.
And then the worst case scenario is, well, you'd actually do it without balloons.
That would also be possible.
Or you don't do it at all.
I had one very, very rainy parade in which by the time I got to the end of the parade, everything, I was just, it was like being in a shower for an hour.
And I did it with Joe Torrey, my friend Joe Torrey.
We were both, both were silk and wet.
It was great, though.
That was 1997.
Now that one looks, that one rained through the whole parade.
And my security detail with me was so angry that I marched.
They're showing you the old one.
They're showing you what I was talking about.
They're showing you the giant cat in the hat balloon had only traveled a couple of blocks when it was caught in this exclusive amateur videotape.
High winds carrying it right into a lamppost at 72nd Street.
There it is.
Suddenly, it knocked off a large section of the light, which then fell into a crowd of people standing on the sidewalk.
Huge wind gust came down, hit that light post right on top, sprung a big leak, a big chunk about four feet long fell right down to the crowd.
First thing I feel is turn on my head trying to move out away.
As Handler struggled to bring the balloon under control, police and EMS rushed to help four people who were talking about many years ago.
What you're watching happened when I was mayor of New York.
Change the video title, yeah.
But it led to major changes in the parade that have made it much, much safer.
Just as an example of what you're supposed to do when you're mayor, governor, or president, that of course was Thanksgiving.
I was in the hospital with that woman within an hour and spent my Thanksgiving day trying to figure out how that would never happen again.
When things like that happened, my whole staff was dedicated to, okay, we just learned something terrible.
It's never going to happen again.
And we, Jeff Hess, Jeffrey Hess was the chairman of the commission that recommended the present rules for the parade, which have been altered and improved, as they should be over the years.
Mostly when we had a mayor, the last one that we really had, which was Bloomberg.
Well, now we'll take a break and then we'll get to the solemn part of what we have to talk about.
And what we're going to talk about is not in any way accidental.
This is something that our society is creating.
And it's taken too many lives.
And we better be darn clear-headed about it before it starts taking a lot more lives.
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.
Thanks to friends like you, the Tunnels of 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.
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.
No Robusto.
All Arabica.
they're gonna 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, I believe that all, if not most, if not all of Americans know of the terrible incident that happened in Washington yesterday at around 245 in the afternoon.
Sarah Beckstrom, who has now passed away, and Andrew Wolf, Sarah 20, Andrew 24, who are members of the West Virginia National Guard, were shot down in cold blood in Washington, D.C., about a mile, maybe less than that from the Capitol.
It was a person who came into the United States as a refugee from Afghanistan.
At the time, massive criticism of Joe Biden taking in thousands of these people.
Not the criticisms he was taking in, but the criticism he vetted none of them.
In other words, he had no idea who was coming in.
The planes were out of control.
Every report done on it, hidden, of course, has said that so many came in all at once that nobody was vetted.
They were just waived into the United States and given a time in which they had to basically to leave.
He was supposed to leave during the Biden years and he didn't.
And therefore, if we had had a president back then who had a brain and a conscience, these two young people would be alive today.
You know how many people I could say that about?
Thousands?
Hundreds of thousands?
We get closer to millions.
We could say, I think, without fear of any serious person disputing us, that there'd been no war in Ukraine.
That's going to claim the lives of well over a million Ukrainians and Russians who all would be alive today if the Democrats hadn't cheated and won the 2020 election.
Yes, cheated and won.
If you peel away the horrible dishonesty of the press and the Democratic Party, it's clear that Biden was not elected in 2020.
There you see some of, I guess, what has been captured of the shooting that took place at I and 17th Street, which is, I put it in New York terms, I would say you would call it a four or five block walk from the White House.
You can't do it in blocks because really to get there directly, you go through the Afghan national, Rahmanullah Akhanwala, who was 29, drove across the country to come here and kill the National Guard.
I had a very interesting discussion with Chat GPGT woman, know a non-woman, because I just want to see how biased they are, wow.
I asked if this, if there was any indication of the motive for the killing, and she went on with a big long speech about not, you know there, you can't assign a motive, etc etc.
Until there's more.
So I decided to debate artificial intelligence and I said, didn't he yell out Al-akbar?
She said yes, that's uh.
I said, is that confirmed?
She said just about yeah, that's confirmed.
And I said, doesn't that indicate that he's doing it for Allah?
And well, not necessarily.
I said well.
I said what would have happened if he were running down the street yelling out, i'm doing this in the name of Jesus?
Wouldn't he be described as like a white nationalist, Christian nationalist or something?
And he and um Al-akbar is not an isolated statement.
If he, if he would done it, if he had done it, saying i'm doing it in the name of Jesus, it'd be very unusual and an isolated statement.
Uh, this ties him in with hundreds, if not thousands, of Islamic uh murderers.
It just isn't a phrase he just pulled out of somewhere.
It's a phrase connected to a movement that's that's um 20 year old.
That's Sarah, 20 years old, beautiful girl, beautiful young woman, Andrew Wolf, I think two children.
He's fighting for his life.
There's Andrew.
Andrew is fighting for his uh, for his life, recovering from surgery.
The last report we had was fighting for his life, that's right.
Well, his family put out a update just hours ago.
They say that uh, they had talked to the neurologist this morning and and he is doing better than they imagined.
He's reacting to stimuli and is opening his eyes.
Oh thank, around they're making sure he is sedated to allow the brain to heal, so he is not feeling any pain, thank god.
With this being said, we know that with the brain swell, it'll get worse before it gets better.
But the neurosurgeon is hopeful that things are moving in the right direction and he has a very long road ahead.
But right now they're going hour by hour.
Now, once again, the value of having a gun is illustrated quite dramatically.
Uh, you did.
This does not become like a school shooting where you have eight people dead, nine people dead, ten people, that twelve fifteen eighteen terrible terrible terrible, terrible.
We have one person dead.
Hopefully that's it, at most two, hopefully it won't be.
But uh, within seconds, the National Guard, armed right right, shot him it's reported four times and also one of the national guard members it's also reported knifed him right, got on top of him and knifed him now.
How many, um how many more deaths.
That's that prevented.
Who knows?
Who knows?
If he had gotten away, did he have plans to go somewhere else as well?
Why did he pick Washington, D.C.?
Well, he picked Washington, D.C. for the same thing that caused the death of detectives Ramos and Liu, caused by de Blasio pointing out New York as a racist city.
during Baltimore racial riots.
It's just too dark coincidental that within five to 10 days of that, a guy from Baltimore decided to pick New York City to come and assassinate two police officers, detectives Ramos and Liu.
That is the thing that caused the New York City police prompt to turn their back on the communist de Blasio.
This is happening to, this is not isolated.
What happened to these two wonderful young people who were serving our country is a combination of what the left wing is doing to us.
It is the fruit of years and years of hatred pointed toward immigration officials, toward the National Guard, toward ICE, a thousand percent increase in the attacks on ICE.
ICE is a law enforcement agency trying to make sure that rapists and murderers and people like the people who killed Lake and Riley and people like this don't come into the United States.
I mean, it's enough that we have to deal with the people in the United States who kill us.
We shouldn't have to deal with people that should never be here that kill us.
And these men and women who are being called Gestapo by the Democrats, being called perpetrators of a civil war, this is the language that pushes violent people and also unhinged people over the line to murder.
Listen to this clip mayor.
It makes me incredibly nervous that we're about to see people in law enforcement, people in uniformed military get nervous, get stressed, shoot at American civilians.
It is very, a very, very stressful situation for.
She said that last week.
Well, tell me when the National Guard has been all over America.
They reduced crime in Washington remarkably.
This guy, you do not consider, you would, Muriel Bowser has been all over the place.
So I'm not using her as an example of anything.
But this would be ridiculous to charge this to her.
This is not a Washington murder.
This guy came across the country to do this.
This is Washington being victimized by this.
So that's a Democratic member of Congress.
Well, they should throw her out.
Has the National Guard shot and killed anybody?
I don't know if you've ever had that.
Well, I mean, they have, I'm sure.
In the whole thing.
Yeah, okay.
It happened now, right now.
And even there are one or two disputed incidents with ICE.
In terms of numbers, they're nothing in comparison to the murders that take place in Democratic cities just in one day.
You have more murders in Chicago over a weekend than ICE has probably done since this all started.
Shootings.
100%.
And the ICE ones are almost all justified.
And the ones in Chicago are not justified at all.
And they're almost all focused on black people.
That is the kind of language.
That's the kind of language that makes a person like Ram Manula Lakhanwal feel empowered to do that, and to do it in the name of, and the Muslim god, Allah Akbar.
Look uh, sometimes discerning motive for a crime is very, very difficult.
Sometimes you have to look into the.
The judge will say.
You have to look into somebody's mind to find it out and their actions to find it.
And sometimes people announce it to you, i'm killing you in the name of Hitler.
I got an idea why you're doing it.
You just told me why you're doing it.
I'm killing you in the name of Allah.
You just told me why you're doing it.
When's the last person that yelled out, I'm killing in the name of Moses?
I'm killing you in the name of Jesus.
I'm killing you in the name of Buddha.
Think maybe there's a substantial part of this religion that's far different than other religions.
And if you don't think that, even if you're a Muslim, if you don't think that, you're a highly irresponsible person about human life.
This is not isolated.
This is not singular.
This is not just about not taking care of mentally ill people properly.
These two National Guardsmen and women were killed for the same reason that the people in the Twin Towers were killed and in the Pentagon and who died in Shanksville, Pennsylvania, for the same reason, for the same ugly, horrible cause that goes back to the sixth century.
And if we don't face up to it and get the Muslim community to face up to it, it will just continue and we will lose lovely young women like this whose promise has now been extinguished.
God willing, Andrew will live and God will give him the grace to realize that there was nothing he could have done.
They were ambushed.
Just like detectives Lou and Ramos were shot in the back of the head in their car by a miserable racist who was inspired by another racist who happened to hold public office.
If we don't have the courage to call out why these things are happening, they will continue to happen.
And who knows what kind of country we'll have left.
Seventy three thousand five hundred Afghans will let in in a matter of you could say in a matter of days.
You can't possibly vet 73,500 Afghans or anybody else in two or three or four or five days or six days.
16,500 were brought under the special immigration visa and they were filled with terrorists.
At one time, the number was in the thousands.
Senator Joni Ernst has done a report on this.
The Biden administration's security vetting procedures to clear Afghans entering the country remain unclear and incomplete and unless changed are insufficient to preserve the safety of the American homeland.
Describing the vetting process as hastily developed, Ernst warned we cannot release a potential terrorist into the United States.
And she warned that it would cause death.
Well, I'm sure she didn't want to be a prophet of that, but she was.
And when you add to that the other deaths in Afghanistan, the deaths in Ukraine, the deaths in the Middle East, the people who died of fentanyl, with the borders being absolutely wide open, there's no American president that has had more people killed in anything but in a non-war situation ever.
Ever.
Well, who is this MS Now correspondent, Ken Gilanian?
Were you able to?
Yep, you're following that.
Tell me about him, Ted.
He is a correspondent for MSNBC, which is now known as MS Now.
Oh, oh, and we do have him.
Is he a happy, wild, and crazy FD?
Yes.
Yeah, that's to put it nicely.
This is Ken Delaney on MS. Well, it was MSNBC is now MS. So he's gotten worse, right?
I mean, they've gotten worse.
You know, there's so much controversy happening in the United States right now with ICE who are also wearing uniforms and wearing masks.
And so there's, you don't know people walking around with uniforms in an American city.
There are some Americans that might object to that.
And so apparently this shooting has happened.
People walking around with uniforms in an American city, there are some Americans that might object to that.
And so apparently this shooting has happened.
Yeah, I mean, we should get rid of everybody in uniform.
I mean, that is a classic blaming of the victims, isn't it?
And not the guy yelling Allah Akbar.
The reason for this killing was to carry out the imperative of the founder of the Islamic religion, Muhammad, to wipe out non-Muslims.
We got another one.
Here's ABC's take on the shooting.
So, I mean, this guy Delaney.
Oh, by the way, he can't even talk.
Did you realize how his sentences were broken up?
And here's ABC News.
This is a guy that's trained to be a reporter.
He should run for president as a Democrat.
That was MS Now.
Here's MS Now.
Oh, my God.
It's worst emparts were specifically targeted.
If that's the case, it would fit with what we've been hearing from law enforcement officials for a number of months now.
That some political flashpoints in the country, whether that's immigration policies by the administration, the ongoing Israel Hamas conflict, even amid a tenuous ceasefire, those kinds of flashpoints have made people in uniform, be they military, law enforcement, government officials, people in uniform, have increasingly been targets.
And so this is caused by the administration.
Trump did this.
Yeah, that's what he's saying.
You can't make this up.
I wish I was making that up.
Did Trump cause September 11?
These people have been wanting to kill us from, you know, a little before 600 AD.
And they have been killing us since a little before 600 AD.
And us includes Western civilization, particularly the Christianity and Jewish part of it.
This doesn't come out of thin air.
This isn't like just a sporadic program of a bunch of nuts.
These are very, very specific reasons for murder, in which the murderer or attempted murderer gives us the benefit of telling us why he's doing it.
We don't always get the benefit of being told why someone's committing murder, and we have to develop the motive from the person's mind.
But you get a real head start on it when the person tells you why he's doing it, don't you?
And there is no doubt that the Democrats have had a concerted effort for quite some time now, going back to before Trump was president, where they would, I mean, even during the Biden administration.
they were calling ICE agents Nazis and Gestapo.
All they are doing is arresting people who are in this country illegally, who do not belong here, at a time in which there have been a disturbingly large number of crimes committed by them.
The left-wing, pathetic communist press keeps saying that immigrants, and they lump in all immigrants now, legal and illegal, don't commit as much crime as regular Americans, you know, American citizens, those who were here, born here.
There was a time when that had some validity.
It certainly had validity when I was mayor of New York, but they were a very different kind of even illegal immigrant.
They were an illegal immigrant that had to sneak in with anywhere from very good to weak procedures trying to stop them.
The procedures put into place by Kennedy and Johnson and Nixon and Carter and Reagan and Bush and Clinton and so on.
But they had procedures to stop people.
And criminals got through.
But by the time you get to, Biden is not only unprecedented, it's insane.
The chief of homeland security for Obama, Jay Johnson, who was probably one of Obama's best and most qualified secretaries, one year warned us that if we reached a million in any given year, we'd have a disaster in the United States.
In Biden's first year, we went over a million.
By his second or third year, we were at 3.5 million.
There is no president that just opened the borders of the United States and said, you all come in, I don't care.
You've got to be a fool if you don't realize he did that.
And you better not be responsible for my safety and the safety of my family and my friends and my citizens.
Because that's what happened.
And we have them now in the United States, all over the place.
Even the criminal head of the FBI Testified that there were unknown numbers of terrorists in this country.
We have no way of knowing, but they're alarmingly large number.
Of course, he sat by for two years and let it happen.
The killing of Charlie Kirk, the attempts on Donald Trump were clearly done at a minimum by the Democrats and the insane Democrats and the crazy lefties who gin up the temperature.
Trump is a Nazi.
The horrible things they said even after the death of Charlie Kirk.
these people feel justified in what they're doing.
Our prayers, our sympathy, our love, our respect to both Sarah Beckstrom's family.
I'm, I hope, I hope you're religious people and we'll find support and strength.
Let Jesus surround you and hold you with his promise of eternal life.
And for Andrew's family, who is fighting for his life, please, dear God, grant him mercy.
We will pray very, very hard for them.
And if you don't like the fact that we're praying, why don't you go somewhere else?
This was a country that was built on a bedrock of belief in God.
Not built on an established religion, but certainly not shy about the fact that our rights came from God, the Supreme Being.
So don't tell me I can't pray, even if I'm a government official.
Go tell that to our founding fathers.
See how far you get.
And we desperately need God back in the public square and in America, because God was deliberately driven out by the Marxists, and you know who they are, including the guy in New York and so many more.
So let's see.
Let's see what happens with the rest of this investigation.
It has been described already as a terrorist act.
My good friend, Judge Janine, for many years, gave an excellent press conference this morning.
And she said very, very, very, very professionally and very firmly.
Now she hopes this doesn't become a first-degree murder case.
A capital case.
But if anybody dies, it's going to be a capital case.
Well, it is a capital case now.
Unfortunately.
Shall we play the clip from the brilliant and very, very capable district attorney in the District of Columbia, who is also one of the reasons why crime is down there.
Yeah, and again, let me, okay, go ahead.
The president believing that the National Guard should not even have been there if it were not for the executive order.
I don't even want to talk about whether they should have been there.
We ought to kiss the ground and thank God that the president said it's time to bring in more law enforcement to make sure that a city that had the fourth highest homicide rate in the country was that that violence was quelled.
I'm not even going to go there in this country when people are allowed in who are not properly vetted.
These guardsmen and all who are here to protect the district are the line that separates a civilized society from a barbaric one.
They are the ones who stand for law and order.
This was not just an attack.
It was a direct challenge to law and order in our nation's capital.
And we're back.
Well, I'm taking a look because I want to make sure I'm right.
Yeah, fix that light.
Yeah, lighting issue.
So.
Well, the police department of the District of Columbia was down to something like 15.
It's supposed to have 3,200 offices before they defunded it.
And I believe it was down to about less than 2,000.
So what the president really did by bringing in the National Guard was he gave them something they didn't have.
And that's why they had so much crime.
He gave them foot patrol.
So this New York City Police Department, I always knew the number I needed of police officers.
I knew it because I was involved in law enforcement for most of my career.
But among other things, community policing notwithstanding, you need street patrols to reduce crime.
You have no idea how much you need them until you don't have them.
Because you don't really know how many you're preventing by the fact that they're going to commit a crime, but they see a policeman.
I guess that was when a policeman could do something.
If they see a policeman in a lot of these Democratic cities, they just spit out him.
But they're not going to spit the National Guard.
So he gave them something they desperately needed that their mayor wasn't intelligent enough to figure out for the benefit of her citizens, many of whom are black.
The president saved enormous numbers of lives.
In terms of murder, probably seven or eight out of ten would have been black.
For that, he should be thanked.
She did eventually, begrudgingly.
She's gone back and forth on it now.
But when you say that this was done because there are too many uniforms, uh-uh.
If there are too many uniforms, the reason there are too many uniforms is there's too much crime.
I don't know how this happened, Ted.
I grew up in an America in which the people in the uniform were the good guys.
And the people shooting at them, the bad guys.
And when you played cop or you played whatever, if you played police, cop, you wanted to be the cop, not the bad guy.
And if you played soldier, you wanted to be the American soldier.
And nowadays, these people want to be our enemies.
Right.
And they come up with all kinds of excuses for our enemies.
Well, you should know that the state that we are in, Ted, has had a law signed to prohibit sanctuary cities in any part of New Hampshire.
Governor Kelly Ayat, former United States Senator, fine governor, signed it a couple weeks ago.
Because of the influence of the devil in the south of here, I don't mean south, I mean immediately south of here.
And that would be the government of Massachusetts.
Isn't it terrible?
Isn't it shameful?
Like it is in my state of New York.
So I feel free to say this, that Massachusetts is governed by wacky left-wing pretend communists, I guess.
The mayor of Boston is a literal jackass.
I'll show you my pic, her last re-election.
There's a picture of her, and then a big sign, no need for whites to be here.
This is the one.
Didn't she have a meeting and she wouldn't allow white people to come into the meeting?
Right.
Yeah, party.
She had a party.
Yeah, no white people.
Right.
And you do that, and you don't expect people to get murdered.
You don't expect that crazy people or Muslim extremists aren't going to pick up on that.
Well, Kelly, thank you.
There are a couple of cities in, there are a couple of cities in New Hampshire that are complaining the mayor should be thank you because they're not going to get arrested.
I do think that the president may have to, and a lot of people fear it tremendously.
They fear it's going to happen.
But if they obstruct the administration, the due administration of federal law, which includes the arrest and removal of illegal aliens, then whether you're a governor, a mayor, a police chief, or whoever the hell you are, you should be arrested.
This sanctuary city thing is another thing we've been absolutely ridiculous about.
It's just patently, not only unconstitutional, it's patently illegal.
It's the obstruction of federal law.
And we sit around talking about it intellectually.
Nothing intellectual about it at all.
It is interfering with the due administration of justice.
You want to stop it?
Get Congress to pass a law saying it's okay for anybody to come into the United States.
Pass a law saying it's okay not to vet somebody coming into the United States.
If you can pass such a law.
And if such a law would be constitutional.
I don't know that the Constitution approves the Congress being able to create suicide for our nation.
Why don't you go outside and call him back and tell him I'll call him shortly later.
That's a call from my son about Thanksgiving.
In fact, we'll take a break and I'll call him right back.
And you can hear it on the air.
Well, we'll take a break during the call.
Go ahead.
Right now.
Well, let's play some of this.
Is Janine Pirow earlier today?
Okay, well, you take over, Ted.
And we'll play some of this press conference from Janine Piro.
This is today.
Maybe it was the other phone.
Give me the other phone.
Is this working, son?
It's working.
All right.
Thank you all for being here on this difficult day.
As you know, my name is Janine Pirro.
I am the United States Attorney for the District of Columbia, and I am joined here by several individuals who represent agencies who have been working around the clock since this horrific event happened.
To my left, we have the director of the FBI.
We have General Leland Blanchard of the National Guard.
Mayor Bowser is here as well.
We have Frank Selden of the DEA, Chris Hecht of DHS, Executive Assistant Chief Jeffrey Carroll of the MPD, Darren Cox of the Washington FBI Field Office, and Special Agent in Charge Samuel Ward of the ATF in Washington.
Now, I want to provide you with an update on the tragic shooting that occurred on two brave members of the West Virginia National Guard as they served in Washington, D.C. Unfortunately, today, as most families join together to give thanks for the blessings that have been bestowed upon them, two families are shattered and destroyed and torn apart as a result of the actions of one man.
First and foremost, our hearts go out to the victims and their families.
These are dedicated service members who were performing their duties in service to our nation, and they are currently in critical condition.
They have undergone surgery.
We pray for their well-being as they continue to be.
Well, this is from, well, that was from earlier today.
Unfortunately, since that press conference, 20-year-old National Becker, did the president announce that?
The death of the young lady.
We have that, yes.
Well, from right now, I heard that Sarah Beckstrom of West Virginia, one of the guardsmen that we're talking about, highly respected, young, magnificent person, started service in June of 2023.
Outstanding in every way.
She's just passed away.
She's no longer with us.
She's looking down at us right now.
Her parents are with her.
It's just happened.
She was savagely attacked.
She's dead.
Now with us.
Incredible person.
Outstanding in every single way in every department.
That's horrible.
As you know, seconds.
I know how much that affects him.
Even before every time something like this happens, when you've been as close to death as that man has, it also brings that back to you, doesn't it?
It makes you wonder: well, why did I survive?
And I go through that over September 11.
Also over the planned attacks in Albania and Paris.
But you really have to find a way to put it in the bigger plan.
And I would say to Andrew Wolf, who, God willing, is going to survive.
He's going to deal with that.
I deal with that myself to some extent and also with some of my friends and colleagues with September 11.
Why me and not my friend?
I was right next to him.
And I except for those who murder, abort children, encourage suicide.
Life and death is up to him.
We don't know the date or the hour.
All we can do is try to lead as useful and decent a life as we can and be ready.
And until then, love other people more than you love yourself.
You know, the way of describing what Jesus told us to do.
Ukraine, it's still very, very, it's still very ambiguous as to what is really going on.
We've had like several rounds, right?
We had the round of 28.
We also had the complication, and it is a complication that I don't feel happy reporting about, but I do have to comment on it, And that's Steve's call to the Russian who was advising Putin and giving him advice on how he should handle President Trump.
The night before, Trump was going to meet with Zelensky and and now and and discuss the Tomahawk missiles that Zelensky wanted.
And that, according to the readout of the conversation of October 16th with Putin, Putin threatened the president in tonight giving those Tomahawk missiles to to.
To Zelensky.
Now, the strange thing is the language that Steve recommended is exactly the language in the readout of the conversation with the president.
And do we have any of that, Ted?
We're working on that.
We have an image.
Bloomberg released some images of the transcript, but we don't have the actual.
Well, basically, Steve, I'll read it in short part.
I have it up on the screen.
Basically, on October 14th.
We'll put it on the screen.
On October 14th, Steve told Yuri Yushakov, Russia's top foreign policy aide to Putin, that Putin should ingratiate himself with the U.S. president by stroking his ego on achieving the Gaza ceasefire deal.
The transcript was published by Bloomberg.
It was on an October 14th call, and he said, Steve did, I would just reiterate that you congratulate the president on this achievement, that you supported it, that you respect that he is a man of peace, and you're just, you're really glad to work with him.
I think from that, it's going to be a really good call.
Yushikov responded, okay, my friend.
I think that very point our leaders, I think that very point our leaders should discuss.
Hey, Steve, I agree with you that he will congratulate.
He will say that Mr. Trump is a real peacemaker and so and so that he will say.
A readout of the October 16 call says that Putin congratulated Trump about his successful efforts in Gaza and said Trump's peacework has been duly appreciated around the world.
Putin then told Trump that arming Ukraine with tomahawks would inflict substantial damage to relations between our countries, to say nothing of the prospects of a peaceful settlement.
And The president had not agreed to give tomahawks before that to Zelensky, but had strongly indicated that he was going to do it, had said he was seriously thinking about it, and then ruled it out.
Putin was elected by somebody as the dictator of the year, which is a lot better than making him the Thai man of the year.
Russia has made it clear that they're not, that the president is wrong when he says Russia has made concessions.
This is from Sergei Rivkov, who is the Russian deputy foreign minister, reported to the Times of London.
There can be no talk of any concessions or surrender of our approaches to the key aspects of resolving the problems facing us, including in the context of Ukraine.
They strongly deny that there are any concessions by Russia.
And Dmitry Peskov, who is the chief spokesperson, said it's premature to say that yet.
Meanwhile, Russia, while all this is going on, conducted a mass drone attack on the southeastern Ukrainian city of Zaporizhia on Tuesday.
And they killed, I don't know how many people they killed, those two or three, and they injured 19.
So I don't know how you can possibly take them seriously.
And once again, I offer the unsolicited advice that the only way you're going to defeat Putin is to kick the shit out of him.
Now, I can express that in a much more intelligent way if you want, but I want you to get the idea of it.
I am very much committed to the chapter in my book, Stand Up to Bullies.
I found every time I did, it was very effective.
I developed that rule and wrote in my book, Leadership, watching history, watching what would have been the right way to deal with Hitler, what would have been the right way to deal with Chinese communism at the very beginning, what would have the right way been to deal with Russia at the very beginning before they became a powerful nuclear power when they were devastated by the Second World War.
Rather than be nice and kind to Joe Stalin, who, along with Hitler and Mao, is the triumvirate of the biggest mass murderers in human history.
We should have taken advantage of China and helped the nationalists to keep the communists from taking over China.
And then when China interfered in the Korean War, we should have used it as an excuse to kick the living daylights out of them.
After all, they were devastated at that point.
They had nothing.
And we had a vast army still left.
Remember, we were only in the war much shorter than they were.
And we were prepared for an invasion of Japan.
Well, that could have been used against China.
And we wouldn't have had Red China.
They weren't capable of defending themselves then.
They didn't have atomic weapons.
They had a devastated army.
What they did in Korea is just throw bodies in to do what Putin does, to get them killed.
That's the way they fight a war.
And that's why they're so frightened about Japan, because Japan doesn't just throw bodies at it.
The Japanese are genetically some of the greatest warriors in the history of the world.
So I don't know.
Only thing I can tell you is one of the things that has to be factored into all of this analysis of what the president is doing, including Rubio and Witkoff and everyone else, is that it is hard to tell the difference between the serious moves and the game playing.
And the game playing are serious moves.
I don't mean that.
I mean, this is an area in which the only way you're going to get this to work, you can't always mean what you say.
They have to be faint in negotiation.
So I saw it very, very clearly and never had much concern about it with Israel because I understood completely that when BB would go do a bombing and everybody would condemn BB and the president would say, well, he shouldn't have done that.
That President Trump really wasn't upset about it because President Trump doesn't just say, oh, we really shouldn't have done it if you do something that he strongly disagrees with.
We know that.
know he's a he's a very volatile tough man this is a little this is a little different um And we'll have to see.
We're going to have to see.
I do think that the communists are all getting together to try to protect Venezuela again, like they did in the first Trump administration when they could have taken out Maduro.
So I picked up an article because I try to look at the Chinese press and I also try to look at the Communist Press in America, you know, like the Boston Globe.
So this is really for the New York Times.
I don't think this ended up in the New York Times.
It ended up all around the country.
And it is just a communist rag sheet on Maduro.
The bad guy in this Venezuela thing is Trump.
Not the dictator of Venezuela, who's killed numerous people, who clearly has two major gangs that he's exported to the United States.
De Solas cartel and Tran Daragua, the one that the mayor of Denver and Governor Felice Navidad denied existed.
And now they're all over the United States, Tran Daragua.
That's the guy who killed Lacan Riley.
They're disputing that Maduro runs either one of them.
And they're saying that American intelligence disputes it.
Well, American intelligence are the 51 spies who lied.
Actually, I felt very, very good when I saw that because they haven't been right about anything since the Second World War.
When has American intelligence been right?
When you have crooks and charlatans and morally inferior human beings like the 51 spies who lied, you think they tell the president the truth?
I mean, it's anybody's guess whether anything they tell the president is true or not.
And it couldn't have been straightened out that much yet.
So who knows if it's even true?
So basically, they say there's dubious information about Maduro's operational control of drug trafficking and the ease of trying to topple him.
And then they take the Nobel Prize winner, Maria Corina Machado, who actually won the election against Maduro, which even the New York Times agrees was correct.
And they say that she's sucking up to Trump by saying that Maduro controls the drug traffic in Venezuela.
Now, she's not saying it for the first time.
She's been saying it for years.
And so have a lot of people been saying it, some of whom are no longer here to be saying it with us because he kills them.
I do not understand why they love these.
Maduro is a communist murderer.
The only saving grace for Maduro in terms of holding him responsible is he's as dumb as Biden.
Chavez was very, very intelligent and very evil.
Maduro is very, very evil and stupid.
His own people will tell you that he's stupid, but he's still extraordinarily evil.
He's making a fortune off the drug trade.
And he followed his hero, Castro, in doing a Mario boat lift situation, except on a much greater scale.
He emptied his prisons in America.
And we see the consequences of it every day in about 14 American cities and suburbs.
Trendiaragua being the major one.
What the president is doing in trying to get him the hell out of there is one of the best things being done for our hemisphere.
And it's also leading to right-wing victories in other parts of Latin America and South America.
So, and it's a bit of a return to the Monroe Doctrine, where, sure, I do not believe that you can responsibly be an isolationist in a world where lots of people want to kill you because you're putting your people in danger of those movements becoming so powerful that a lot of Americans are going to lose their lives.
We can't say we're just going to concentrate on the United States, or we're just going to concentrate on this hemisphere when there's China that wants to take over and become our dictator, and Russia that is perfectly willing to threaten us with nuclear weapons.
There's no possible way we can just say we're isolationists, we're just going to stay here.
It's no longer possible for us to say that because the seas don't protect us the way they used to when there were people that were isolationists.
I mean, by the time we got to the First World War, we couldn't afford to be isolationists any longer.
That doesn't mean you have to be stupidly interventionist.
And by the way, the stupid interventionists are those 51 spies who lied.
They're the people responsible for the intelligence mistakes in the 30 years preceding them who were so desperate to hold on to their power, their national security clearance, and the money they were making, they were willing to accuse Trump and me basically of being Russian spies.
So there's something personal involved in my being upset with them, but it's personal for a good reason.
But most of it's for my country.
So the great reporter, the great reporter and columnist.
There are two of them.
You know, it's a contest for me as to which one is greater.
Michael Goodwin, but I had a wonderful conversation with the other day.
And Miranda Devine, Miranda Devine has, and it was printed on Thanksgiving Day, has done a great analysis again of another gap in the attempted assassination of President Trump.
And this is the unbelievably complete online history of Thomas Crookes, who went through two phases.
Phase number one was being a Trump supporter, where he threatened to kill Democrats very, very explicitly online, triggering, I don't know if they call them algorithms or formulas, but triggering formulas that would require that to be reported to the government.
And then he did it again when he went through a second phase in which those threats and fantasies and whatever were directed toward Trump when somewhere around 2020, he decided that he hated Trump and wanted Trump to die.
So that's all over the, that was all over the internet.
For example, for example, he threatened to kill Representative Elon Omar.
He put in one of his attacks that she should be killed.
They never pick it up.
They're supposed to to protect members of Congress.
They even have a protocol for doing it.
And it should have been picked up by the Capitol Police, the legislative branch of the Capitol Police that protects Congress, their intelligence division, whose job it is to protect the 535 members of Congress.
Apparently, they did about as good a job on this as they did on January 6th.
They never warned her, gave her protection.
And then when he switched, when he switched to Trump, once again, they never warned him.
They warned Congressman Comer of his threats after he had already attempted to kill Trump, wounded two and killed another, and was dead.
And then they never went back and explained it to Congressman Coomer.
On July 19, 2019, in a YouTube comment, he wrote the following: Elon Omar and others are invaders and should honestly be killed and their dead bodies sent back.
Here's what should happen when that's on the internet.
Keywords, huh?
Keywords for all of these sites.
They're supposed to have them.
Key words like, I mean, he doesn't do it like subtly, right?
Killed.
Elon Omar should not exist in the same paragraph without somebody looking at it.
And then when you see it, you say, how about this one?
This triggered nothing.
December 12, 2019, murder the Democrats.
And then on January, from January 20 on, from January 2020 on, it turned all to Trump.
And it should have, it should have triggered a threat warning when associated with words such as killed.
They have what's known as web crawler software to find keywords.
Dr. Ken Fine, who is a leading expert on autopsies and says that Crook's autopsy was shoddy, that there are many telltale signs of massive cannabis deterioration.
And despite promising Helen Comperatore, the widow of Corey Comparatore, who was killed that day, a fine firefighter, the FBI promised her a full public report.
And it's now five months overdue.
They've received nothing from the FBI since they were told they were going to get a full public report.
And the FBI, according to the members of Congress, including Republicans, has stonewalled the investigation into Butler, where there are numerous leads that haven't been followed.
And we could do the same thing with the one in Palm Beach.
I don't get it.
The government is now in the hands of President Trump.
I have for three years been trying to get two affidavits that were done to raid my law office and my house that yielded a letter two years later that there was no probable cause to present to a grand jury that I committed a crime.
As a lawyer, it's hard to believe that there's probable cause in the affidavit, and then it kind of disappeared.
I also want to get the affidavit that allowed them to go get my iCloud account shortly after I began representing Donald Trump, because that surely was not about any alleged crimes that I committed.
That was to spy on him.
As far as I can tell, those are in the hands of the Department of Justice and the FBI and my lawyer can't get them.
You explain it to me.
I can't explain it.
I'm supposed to explain to you.
I can't explain that.
Let's close with some really good news.
Miami-Dade, not very far from where we permanently live.
Not at all.
Is going to bring back classical education, meaning, meaning a, I don't know if this is a private school or a charter school.
It's called True North, the name of the school.
And they're going to teach Socratic logic and rhetoric, Plato's dialogues.
You like that.
Well, it can teach people how to think.
God forbid, if these people thought, they'd all be gone.
And now, and now, Village Green, which is a K-5 school in Southwest Miami-Dade, located not far from the True North Classical Academy, is transitioning.
This is a public school.
It's transitioning into such a program.
And the idea is to explore the ideas that shaped Western civilization.
Grammar, dialectics, and rhetoric are going to be taught.
They are partnering with the University of Florida's Hamilton School of Classical and Civic Education.
Well, we're going to follow up more on this.
Okay, we may even go down there and look at their program.
I am a very, very strong proponent of classical education and teaching Western civilization because it was a very, very core part of my education.
Also, in order to help you be healthier and stronger, you should get Rudy Coffee.
There's another study that's come out by the BMJ Mental Health Journal that three or four cups of coffee a day may slow biological aging in individuals with severe mental illness.
No, it would not have helped Biden, but other than Biden, it would help everybody else.
People had what I mentioned this to people.
I said, if you take Rudy coffee, you're going to slow your biological decline.
They said, well, it would have worked for Biden.
I said, well, there are a couple of people that it wouldn't work.
You have to, in order for the coffee to work, you have to have at least a single brain cell because then it will help.
I'm making this all up, but I'm not making up the report.
There are studies that show that drinking coffee helps to fend off type 2 diabetes, heart disease, even Parkinson's disease.
But the most important thing that it does is it helps to combat cognitive decline.
And even in the study, as I recall it, it's a very complicated study, and it's thousands of people.
Even the people who four is ideal, but the people that go over four are still much better off than the people that are down to none or one.
We'll get the actual study out and we'll get the chart and show it to you.
But I'm telling you, this is really not self-serving.
It sounds like it is.
Rudy Coffee Bold and Morning and DCAF.
I don't know.
A lot of people tell me it's the best coffee they've ever had.
I think it is.
And by the time I started doing it, I had really become an expert on ground coffee and which is the best.
And I was mixing them myself.
And I stopped using milk in the coffee.
I stopped using sugar or sugar substitute because I didn't want it to interfere with the wonderful taste of the coffee.
I'm not just talking about Rudy coffee now.
I'm talking about if you know coffee, but Rudy Coffee will give you the best coffee I've ever had.
And it's all Robusto beans from the top of the mountain.
Much healthier for you.
A lot of the health benefits come from the, I'm sorry, the Arabica beans.
The Robusto beans are the ones at the bottom of the mountain.
They'll help you too, but the Robusto.
Better.
Not as good as the Arabica.
So we'll be back tomorrow for Black Friday.
I always, I think Black Friday is not what it used to be.
But maybe we'll get a chance to drive around a little one or two shopping centers to see.
But the last couple of years, it's been kind of disappointing.
But I think that I don't think is a reflection necessarily of the economy one way or the other.
To figure out what's going on with the economy, you gotta have to know what's going on online.
I mean, the Black Friday sales have been on Amazon now for a week.
It's Black Week.
Black month.
Black month.
Christmas.
Two months.
Three months.
But you can officially start celebrating Christmas tomorrow.
I give you permission.
All those people who did it before are going to get coal in this docking.
Well, pray for the two National Guards, men, women, two wonderful people in the beginning of their lives, taken away from them in the name of Allah.
Face it, that's why they were killed.
They were killed as part of the Islamic movement to take over the world.
It may sound insane to you, but maybe it is insane.
They believe it.
That's all that matters when the life is taken, right?
They believe it.
And we encourage them by being afraid to stand up to them, by not being realistic and honest with them, by saying things like the Muslim religion is a peaceful religion, generally.
It is not generally a peaceful religion.
There are peaceful parts to it.
But in order to get to those peaceful parts, you have to read out the extremely violent parts that have made up more of their history than the peaceful spread of the religion.
You don't see much missionary work on the part of Muslims like you do with Christians.
What you see are wars to eliminate their enemy or convert them all over Africa.
Nigeria, which is the focus of what the president is looking at, also people debating it.
Well, you've got about six of those wars in Africa where Muslims are killing Christians because the fastest growing religion in Africa is the Christian religion and the Catholic religion also.
So we'll be back tomorrow.
We'll report to you on Black Friday.
We'll see what else we can find out about the tragedy in DC.
We'll pray for Andrew, Andrew Wolf.
Pray that he makes it.
Every day that he makes it, of course, is stronger and stronger.
And we'll pray that God gives Sarah's family the strength to deal with this because I'm sure that that beautiful young lady is in heaven.
So pray for the people of Israel and the people of Ukraine and the people of Iran who are in harm's way and pray for the people of America who are in harm's way.
And because of the rhetoric and the insanity and the communist movement and also you've got a lot of praying to do, but it is Thanksgiving.
All God really needs to hear is thank you.
That's what he needs to hear.
He knows what's in your heart.
But it is important for you to express it ceremonially and outwardly.
We are very, very fortunate people.
Well, all the terrible things that happen, we are very fortunate people.
The most fortunate in the world.
And that doesn't make us arrogant, doesn't make us more important, makes us hopefully much better servants.
Pray for our president.
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.
