Why I Talk About My Administration 00:10:10
Good evening.
This is Rudy Giuliani.
This is America's Mayor Live.
And we're coming to you from Palm Beach in, of course, Florida, not very far from the place where it happens.
Mar-a-Lago or the golf course, I guess.
But we are showing Washington because all the actions in Washington today, why?
Because all the actions wherever Trump is, right?
Let's face it, it really has become that.
And even the conferences that are going on in various parts of the world, and I have to say, his emissaries, gosh, they are really on a, I hope to have Air Force 2.
I hope to have Air Force 2 for this because they got to go from, well, they eventually have to end up in Oman.
Right now, they're not, well, that's not far.
Oh, gosh, we could almost go by boat.
I could get them there.
They're right now in Abu Dhabi.
They have completed what appears, they always say, you know, a successful conference in Abu Dhabi on the Russian situation, which is very, very, very hard to analyze.
There's so much going on behind the scenes, but we'll do the best we can with it.
And then they're going tomorrow for what appears to be, and I'm going to say this, this will be a form of prediction.
This may very well be the last meeting before.
And the president is unlike the president, who always errs on the side of optimistic.
He basically said today is not going to work.
It's not going to work.
I mean, they made a very big mistake jerking them around.
And given the fact that they probably could do all of the security logistics in 24 hours and make it as safe as, I mean, with the military assets we have in and around Oman, which is essentially the military assets we have in and around Iran, you're not, I mean, it would be exceptional if you could do some damage there.
And if you did, a lot of that part of the world wouldn't exist anymore.
So the choice in terms of security, if we were, if at the last minute we were switching a president, I would get on a plane, go to Washington, and I'd stand in front of the door and stop.
But we're switching ambassadors.
We're switching ambassadors that whether it's fair or not, from your perspective or from the outside perspective, appear to have been fairly good deliverers of their message.
By that, I mean Russia and Iran cannot feel they're doing any better than Steve and Jared, right?
In terms of their message coming across.
Now, that may be their role.
That's why he sends General Kellogg when he wants to deliver the other.
Please don't hold it against the people who do it.
That's the job you get.
And it may change.
But the president had a comment today, and I'm going to give you a little while to dig it out because it's important.
The comment was something suggesting he did not think this was going to work.
He didn't think that the negotiations in Oman, I think it was or in a Q&A or in something.
And I don't know if it's a product of, as you never know, and this is good.
We're not supposed to know.
And I like, I do not pretend I could get on the inside if I asked.
Maybe, a little.
I don't presume to do it.
Never ask for classified information, ever.
Number two, I like the idea of being out here with you so I can help analyze the evidence available to me so that I can see what are the countervailing judgments that are fair to reach if you're an American citizen.
That's what we're trying to recreate.
When I say we, I mean myself and many, many of my brothers who I think should get together in some form.
But I'll talk about that later.
But right now, my best guess is we're going through the motions.
So you can find it, because I'm going back to what we concluded on the Rudy Giuliani show just a minute ago.
And we were bashing Mandani, which is always a good thing to do because he needs to be bashed.
But you will not believe that within his Department of Health, okay, within his Department of Health, which I'm going to tell you about the Department of Health for a moment.
If you find it boring that I talk about my administration as a comparison to others, tell me, I'll stop.
And I have other points of comparison I can make.
I'm willing to talk about a lot of different things.
So I would urge you, and Ted, would you look?
Tell me if there are people out there that feel that I talk about my administration too much and my experiences either as Associate Attorney General in the Justice Department or mayor of New York.
This is mayor of New York.
So my Department of Health was run by a Clinton Democrat who I was reluctant to keep on.
I was persuaded to do it by someone I sincerely regret that you never met and that American never met or that Donald Trump didn't have around for much longer because Donald Trump was very, very respectful of him.
And I would say liked him very much, maybe loved him, Peter J. Powers.
And Peter helped me and persuaded me to keep on one or two exceptions for my Democratic, which then would have passed for socialist administration.
And that was Margaret Hamburg.
And she was the head of my Department of Health and eventually Clinton's head of, well, she was Clinton's Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
Margaret was a very left woman, a very brilliant woman.
Sit back, get ready.
And a very honest woman.
I know, I know, I know.
It's hard to find them now.
Maybe, maybe.
I am willing to accept this for any discussion that any rational, reasonable, and as intelligent as me, lefty, is willing to engage in with me.
That I'm missing it.
That there are a whole group of rational, very intelligent lefties like Margaret was that are willing to talk to me on some basis where we can attempt to meet somewhere.
And if we can't, we'll understand why.
You know how helpful that would be.
I try to do that myself inside my head.
That's why sometimes I look confused.
Well, the Ministry of Health has an organization in it.
And it must be just started.
So this has to be a communist Islamic extremist lover of creation.
In the New York City Department of Health, that probably has more health problems.
Maybe not.
There are dirtier cities in America than New York.
Huh?
Okay.
Among some of the biggest health problems in the world.
This working group is called Global Oppression and Public Health Working Group.
Now, I would love to save the world, would you?
I'd save the world.
But if I just want to ask you guys a question: you come from Michigan, but Americans are Americans.
Suppose, out of some strange thing, you got the obligation and you took an oath to serve the city of New York.
Would you ever think that in the massive things you had to do, which could overwhelm you at first, that you should be worried about global oppression?
Isn't New York City oppression enough to start with?
Well, actually, I think what's even a little bit more repulsive is the fact that he spent so much time picking out the Carhartt jacket, which is a very trendy, trendy thing to do among the New Yorkers.
You're cheaper than I am.
You take cheaper shots, Steve.
That jacket was outrageous.
I agree with you.
Now you got to get me all off and I'm going to go crazy.
Carhartt Jacket Controversy 00:02:12
You know how many jackets I had offered to me for this amount of money and that amount of money and this amount of money?
Do you know how many I don't have and I've given away?
And do you know how many are in the 14 storages I have that I never go look at?
I didn't give a shit for that.
I picked my first of all, I picked my own clothes.
As you know, my grandfather was a master tailor.
My father was a middle-class to poor man who was very, very convinced from his father being a master tailor that you dressed nice out of respect for yourself to start with, and then out of respect for whom you were with, and that it reflected on you.
That's what he taught me.
And even now, I think I am absolutely certain, and it's been a long time since my daddy's been around, 1970, 1981.
Sometimes I appear here without my jacket on.
I hear a little stuff.
I can hear a little stuff up there.
Like, what the hell are you doing?
Haven't you achieved some kind of stage in life?
Exactly.
What are you, a little bum?
You want to look like those little bums?
That's the way it was.
That's the way that's the way it was.
But not focused on it as.
So tell us what isn't.
Now look at that headline and focus on it.
You know, I have a love-hate relationship really with the Wall Street Journal.
I have a love-hate relationship with the Wall Street Journal.
I have a love-hate relationship with the Post.
I really love the Post.
And I don't even mind when they get crazy on me or Trump because I love those guys.
And they really know how to cover the news.
Randy's Sanitation Enigma 00:15:02
And they're about the last ones we have left, so you better go easy on them.
Isn't that fabulous headline?
You're Zovain.
Go get the song.
You're Zovain.
Get the song.
He does good, though.
He's got a good voice.
Oh, thank you.
So here's what Mondani did.
I'm going to tell you the difference between a first term mayor's.
When I was mayor, I was in the bowels of Gracie Mansion with Peter Powers and with Randy Levine and with my budget director and with Joe Loda and with Bruce Teitelbaum.
And I'm missing great people, Christine Ladogano, Paul Crotty.
We were sitting there studying, studying, like we were having exams coming up on January 1st.
And one of the main things we were studying was what to do about a snowstorm if the sanitation department strikes on us.
So we had to teach ourselves the best we could figure out about how you clean up the city and how the hell to do it.
We had a second parameter and in comes Randy Mastro, my chief of staff.
Randy Mastro was my chief prosecutor for mafia sanitation dominance.
He had gotten a RICO case.
He had won it.
And we were being overseen by a federal monitor.
So I couldn't hire anybody I wanted in New York City.
I put them in, but I had to get their approval to get the damn mafia out of the private sanitation business.
So who would you go to if you had a strike of your public sanitation?
New York City has an equal number, if not more, private sanitation services.
So if they were honest or reasonably honest, you'd go to them.
But in New York City, we were controlled for 45 years by the Democrat invaded.
They were happy with it.
Mafia.
They ran it.
They ran it to such an extent that Maddie the Horse INLO had a court every week in Midtown Manhattan adjudicating their disputes.
New York City was fortunate or unfortunate enough to have a mayor who listened to 40 or 45 of those adjudications and had them in his head.
And then they had the double misfortune of having a deputy mayor who was the guy who did it for him.
He's my chief assistant and the chief guy in court.
So every time the practical guys are saying, we'll go to this company, they're great.
Yeah, they're great, but they charge 30% more and they break your legs if you don't do it.
We can't use them.
But in an emergency, shouldn't we?
We even went into arguments like Roosevelt used Luciano during the Second World War.
Why can't we use the Gambino family?
Well, if it comes down to whether or not the snow is going to get picked up, what are you doing?
It was the opening to the whole thing that Randy worked out.
Brilliant Randy, who just got thrown out.
We said, we got to go.
We got to crack it right now.
We're not even in office, but what do we care?
The mafia is afraid of was afraid of me.
Oh, yeah.
They didn't kill me.
They were afraid of me.
And I said, here's what we're going to do.
We're going to go to the we're going to go to the national companies who were always afraid to come into New York because of the mafia.
I'm going to ask them to trust me.
And I'm going to say, if God forbid I have a strike, I'm going to contract with you.
Mafia is going to come in and say, like they always do, we're going to break your legs.
We're going to shoot you.
I will have 4,000 cops on them.
Exactly.
The minute they say that, next time they see them, they'll have to find them someplace in Alaska.
Don't worry, we'll apply different rules.
I wasn't even sure I could do that.
Randy saying, you can't say that.
You can't say that.
I said, I don't know.
I don't have to do it.
Don't worry.
Well, they agreed.
And I put a plan out that I would collect the city's garbage faster than the city sanitation department because they weren't using efficiency rules, which is why they didn't get their raise.
And I brought Randy in, who was a brilliant labor negotiator.
He negotiated a whole new contract for them.
Before Randy took over the Yankees and became famous and wrote the baseball contract, he wrote the most intelligent, the most intelligent analysis of the economics of public sanitation ever written by any human being in the whole history of the world.
You know what he did?
He switched it to you get paid for the amount of garbage you pick up.
What they would do is they go for overtime.
So they would actually pick up less garbage.
They would leave garbage so there'd be overtime.
And during overtime, during snow, these guys can make 100 grand a year, 150 grand a year.
Not bad.
They're poor people.
I do not begrudge them.
I'd like them to make 100, 150 grand a year.
But in a way, so here's my job.
And this is why it's important to have intelligent people running the city who only care about the city.
So we sat down and we said, how can we get them to do that?
And it works for us and for them.
And Randy, who runs the Yankees and is a pure genius, by the way, Randy said, why don't we pay them for the amount of garbage they pick up?
If they can pick up all the garbage they're picking up now in two hours, why would it hurt us to pay them more for the next five hours?
If anything, I'd pay a premium for that.
We did that.
Get the garbage off.
You could be the new Randy.
But that's what we did.
And they're not doing it anymore that way.
What I just explained to you, Mr. Islamic head pro-communist wouldn't possibly understand.
And New York City is now a disaster.
Well, we have with us a man that I rely on very, very, very, very much.
And I haven't talked to him in about five days, and I feel lost as a result of it.
We are getting a lot of confusing signals from this whole situation with Iran negotiating with Iran.
We got a third of our Navy there.
We're moving around where we meet.
It all seems to me it's part of a plan.
Because of my relationships with the administration, I don't mean special knowledge.
I do not do that.
But guessing from the outside, I have some ideas, but this man has something beyond almost anyone we know, maybe a few people.
He's got remarkable insight into what's going on there.
The best.
And this is you pay attention.
This is an extraordinary opportunity.
No matter how much time we have with him, you pay attention to this because you're going to learn something.
So, Walid, can I ask the first question?
Please, absolutely.
What's going on?
Why the switch to Oman?
The president made a statement sort of indicating almost from the beginning it's not going to work.
Sometimes he does that for effect, right?
You tell me what's going on because your insight is about as valuable as we can get.
Thank you, Mayor.
And in fact, this is an enigma.
It's a big enigma, but I don't think it's mono-enigma, meaning there are two types of scenarios clashing with each other right now.
And here's how I see it so far.
The president, when the revolt started, that just in the beginning, and there were about maybe 3,000, 3,500 people killed, posted two to three tweets or posts that became tweet of great interest where he clarified and said very clearly to the Iranian people, rise, uprise, take your institutions.
Help is coming.
And he posted another one, very important, Mayor, which he when he said, take the names of those who are involved in these war crimes or crimes against humanity.
It's still there, it's still online.
So that was an impact on the population.
It rose further because they have access to this information.
The regime cut the internet.
It was all dark.
And then went ahead to massacre thousands and tens of thousands.
Now, meanwhile, you have other forces in the Middle East who have an interest, a vested interest that the regime will stay.
It's not just the regime itself, but its lobbies, as you know, very well, very powerful, very strong, very well-funded.
And other allies in the region who didn't see in the fall of the regime something that would help them.
Actually, that would be the opposite.
The Iranian people, if they win this battle at the end of the day, they are going to inspire other revolutions in the Middle East.
This is the biggest country, the most advanced, has a lot of energy, by the way.
We can talk about it.
So, Walid, just one second.
I had to pick on something you said.
What would constitute their winning this battle?
You're not going to believe it that the beginning is so simple, doesn't need bombers, doesn't need everything else.
It needs an energy.
It needs a compassion with the Iranian people.
One, and I tweeted to the president, one speech, one speech by the president of the United States, President Trump, to the Iranian people.
Tweet were huge.
They actually pushed the revolution to move forward.
But a speech from the Oval Office to the Iranian people to at least 80 million of the 90 million will create so much energy inside Iran.
It would also signal to our allies in the region because everybody now is saying, oh, we're going to close our airspace.
You're not going to use our airspace to go in.
They will understand, but the president is not joking about that.
And that would force the regime to make the last decision.
Either they surrender or they will be taken care of, as the president spoke about Hamas.
You disarm, or I'm coming to disarm you.
So, what we need is that in Washington, and you and I know the inside of the matter, we need the inside advisors to tell the president it's over for this regime.
We cannot resuscitate a regime that kills 30 to 40,000 people.
Now, of course, we are a little on the outside, so we have to qualify it by that.
But don't you and I agree that they're at the end and we're not going to get a better time to take them out.
Absolutely, Mayor.
100%.
We don't know what's going to happen.
They could become powerful again.
I don't know.
I mean, life is strange.
Right now, I used to be a long time ago a boxer.
And I was not a particularly good one.
My father was.
My father wanted me to be one, and I wanted to be a baseball player.
So I rebelled against it.
But he used to tell me, because sometimes I'd give up.
You know, I'd have the guy beaten and I just, he'd say, Rudy.
Yeah.
You see the blood on the eye?
That's when you get blood on the other eye.
Yeah.
And on the nose.
And all he's going to be doing is worrying about the blood.
This is when you pour it on.
I said, ah, Khan.
This is when I give him a break.
He said, okay, go be a baseball player.
He was right.
But when you got him on the ropes, Wali, that's when you take him out.
This is for a whole country.
Absolutely right.
And look, the regime, call it the Islamic regime of Iran, they know this.
So they are trying now to play a psychological, a mass psychological game by, first of all, enlisting those countries, Qatar, others, Turkey, to create a belt around them, a dome around them.
They are sending these governments to the administration and they are telling the institution, do not go.
That would create problems in the region.
They're not saying that these problems will be with their own population, but let's put this on the side.
What the regime is doing also is mobilizing outside networks.
This is something I haven't said before or in this fashion, clear fashion.
What does that mean?
They have been funding.
Remember the Iran deal?
Sure.
Oh, God.
Of course, you know.
The former president who created the Iran deal, President Obama, actually, this was not a deal.
It was a transaction.
We would send $150 to $50 billion to them, right?
And they promised that they would freeze the nukes and so on and so forth.
They lied on all of this.
But what was important is that those who helped creating the deal, you know, we call them the people of commission, the brokers, they got about 10%.
10% in real estate, very normal in transaction.
10% is $15 billion.
$15 billion.
Do you know what you can buy?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I know.
$15 billion.
Among the things they bought were networks from academia to media to far left, also some far right, right?
And now we start seeing them.
They became a shield inside the United States and inside the West to put pressure on the one hand on any administration.
And on the other hand, what's happening right now is they were at the core of Antifa.
They were at the core of support Hamas or globalize the Antifara.
It's coming from that deal.
So now there is an argument.
Channels Of Influence 00:14:10
That is fascinating.
I don't think anybody understands that the way you did.
Do you realize?
I know you realize it, but you realize he mentioned Nantifa as part of the international, as part of the International Terrorist Network, and I, you know.
So we, we go back to uh, Joe Biden saying Antifa is not an organization, it's an idea.
Yeah, I mean it was.
It was an organization in America, it was an organization in the world.
It goes back to to Nazi Communist times exactly, exactly.
And historians will have to work over all over the world, all over the world.
It's global.
That's why they use the term globalize the Intifada.
It's uh, it's an amalgamation of three threats.
So Zandami Zandami says that the guy mayor mayor uh, mayor Zandami says globalized successor, your successor yeah, I mean, it doesn't hide it your successor, he says it as it is.
That's that's the way to get to me, my successor, very different from you, but the bottom line is that there are a huge amount of monies that that regime has released, has captured from the Iran deal, you know, released around the West, and what i've heard and read in social media.
So it's not that is that the regime is saying all we need to do is gain time, gain as much time as we can.
And they said something very weird, mayor.
They said, the Trump administration in a few months from now will be busy on the inside of America.
You got that what it means meaning the 2026 elections.
Of course, these are not dumb.
Please America, do not think that because they speak a different language, they dress a little funny.
These are dumb people our, our.
First of all, it's the biggest mistake anyone ever ever makes is underestimate your enemy.
Yes totally, and this one is for sure.
These are evil people.
They're horrible people.
You don't want your children to be like them.
These people are as smart or smarter than anybody you know absolutely absolutely, whatever they're they're, they're certainly our equals.
Right, would you grant that that they're smart as the people you and I work with, absolutely smarter than any people we work with, to be honest, because then you gotta raise the game.
You gotta raise your level.
You can't just take them for granted.
You gotta start thinking like them, and this man you're looking at right here is is a tre, is a treasure.
I really think you're a treasure, my friend.
Thank you, can I ask you?
Can I ask you a personal question, not so personal?
When are you going to be in Palm Beach again?
Oh, very soon, and we need to get together there where we may, I need, I need, I really want to have like a two-hour private conversation with you.
Absolutely it would be a pleasure and an honor and a service to the nation.
It could be more.
Uh you're um, I have some ideas, you know, and they're just ideas and I don't, I don't like, I don't like people who just float ideas that they haven't thought out, because very often they turn out to be very irresponsible.
You know I, I agree and and.
But I can float with people who have real knowledge and you're right at the top, but your analysis is terrific.
Now, what's the chance that we have an attack soon?
Three days, four days?
The chance is 50 50.
The president is very you know him.
You know him better than me.
Uh, he gathers all.
Well yes, we know that.
I know him because I was his advisor for a struggle.
I'm not saying you don't know him well, I mean but knowing him.
But even if you know him well, like I do, it doesn't give me any like special process of divination.
Maybe i'm a little better, but only a little.
You know, get a feeling.
I get a feeling.
Particularly, there was one statement he made today at the prayer breakfast where he dismissed, they were kind of challenging him.
Why did he change?
You know, change venue, because usually to assert dominance you don't change venue, right?
So they had, they had agreed on Turkey, which was oh yeah, which was perfectly fine for them.
They couldn't have a more favorable place than Erdogan.
But then they wanted to go to Oman, which they control completely.
Even for issues.
Usually you'd object to that.
Usually it's a way of your adversary trying to get a little control over the negotiations by getting you to change.
And they resisted first, and then he went along with it.
And he said something, I'm paraphrasing.
He said something like, it doesn't matter.
This isn't going to work.
Just came out.
That's a key word, Mayor.
A key word.
It doesn't matter.
Three words coming together.
It doesn't work.
I don't know.
There's an awful lot of resources there.
Yes.
I don't think we've shorted ourselves much in Venezuela, but we have a little in China.
Some of those could be back in the South China Sea.
He's not going to want to keep them there long.
No, he can't.
And he doesn't want to.
And it's expensive.
And I think he's thinking about, okay, let me see.
If I flip on the other side, what do I gain?
Huge.
You know, as I know, what is the capacity of Iran, resources in Iran, the coast of Iran, the energy.
If we get to have an alliance with a free Iran, I mean, the world is changing.
We are at the borders of China.
We are at the borders of Afghanistan, China, Central Asia.
They have all the gas that anybody is thinking about.
If we end up with a free Iran that is based on some form of any form of decent, lawful, democratic principles, you and I, but we'll have the biggest celebration, bigger than New Year's.
Oh, yes.
Oh, yes.
We'll do it in Palm Beach.
Yeah.
God bless you, Ferris.
And really.
We'll talk.
I really do want to have a private conversation.
Yes, absolutely.
You're invaluable.
And make sure you take care of yourself, my friend.
I've been through situations that can be.
I want to talk to you about that too.
Okay.
Okay.
Thank you, Mayor.
There are people in the United States like Warid.
There are.
I mean, Warid's not alone.
I'm not alone.
There are a group of people, but it's just a group of people.
That's an exceptional resource.
I hate to describe a human being.
He's a great human being, too, but he's an exceptional resource.
His mind works quickly.
You know why that's important having been in many positions of leadership?
There can be very brilliant people whose mind work slowly.
And when you got a long-term problem, they're fabulous from writing a book.
But if I got to decide in two days, am I going to use the police to stop a riot and create possible violence or not?
I got to have a two-day person, not a four-year person.
You know, it's like go back and watch 13 Days sometimes.
I'm not saying it's particularly academically good.
It's dramatically good.
But maybe out of the dramatically good, you'll put that aside a little bit.
That'll keep your interest.
And you'll listen to the strategically good.
There are not too many like that.
I wish I could get you.
I wish I could get you contemporaneous video like that.
Or maybe we could do a dramatic recreation for big time media, like they do at the Reagan Library for the attempt on the assassination of President Reagan, which was so excellently handled.
Or a couple of the incidents in the first Reagan administration.
In the first and second Reagan administration, or in the first Trump administration.
I'm trying to think and I'm trying to be as fair as possible.
We had three presidents since Eisenhower who had the abilities of generals, of great generals.
Who were they, Ted?
I want to make sure he's paying attention.
Then we're going to take a break.
Well, we have Ali Reza.
I'm communicating with Ali Reza live from Berlin, Germany.
That's a good way out of it, yeah.
But I do want you to ask a question because I'm going to answer it.
You can answer it later.
I'll give you time.
If Ali Reza is in Berlin, Germany, which gets me very afraid, because I need Ali Reza.
America needs Ali Reza.
Iran needs Ali Reza.
Come on on it.
Ali Reza.
I'm texting him now, and so he's, well, we'll have him on in just a second.
Live from Berlin.
Should I take a break while we're waiting?
We'll take a break while we wait.
Yeah, we want to get Ali Reza.
We want to bring him back.
We'll have Ali Reza.
Are you ready for some action?

And this is a perfect time as we have all of these difficulties in the world and the prospect of, I don't know, some kind of military.
I don't want to say war, but military action.
And you know, even without war, we lose our military overseas.
And with what's going on with the Communist Democrats and their attack on law enforcement since at least 2014, 2015, we've experienced many, many more attacks on American law enforcement and tests.
The Tunnels or Towers Foundation is the place to go.
Honoring Heroes Like Josh 00:02:24
It honors Americans' greatest heroes.
Now, let's pick one.
Dedicated public servant Josh Bischoff.
Josh began his firefighting career as a volunteer and quickly rose through the ranks to become Cal Fire's Assistant Chief of Tactical Air Operations.
And that's a big job.
Josh was driven by a deep sense of purpose and a passion to be serving others.
It's the only way you can overcome the fear of walking into fire.
His leadership earned him great respect across the state of California and well beyond until tragedy struck and two helicopters collided while fighting a California wildfire.
Josh was killed in the crash.
He leaves behind his wife, Cheryl, and their two children, Derek and Juliana.
The Tunnel to the Towers Foundation paid the Bischoff family's mortgage, lifting a financial burden and enabling Josh's family to focus on healing after unimaginable loss.
Josh's family is committed to honoring the memory by living with the same drive, joy, and purpose that Josh did.
Honor and help heroes like Josh and their equally heroic families who sacrificed so much for you.

Honoring Josh's Legacy 00:15:20
Don't put it off.
Do it right now.
God bless you and God bless America.
Please do it now.
Please, please, please.
It would make me, I don't know, you'd make my day.
Honestly, you'd make my day if you did it right now.
If I saw a couple of them coming in right now, I'd be so much happier when I woke up tomorrow morning.
This is sort of part of the whole thing we're trying to do, which is switch the priorities back to decency and back to God and back to our children being good people and away from drugs.
And oh, I could do the whole thing.
I should organize it like this is what we want.
This is what we're against.
And we're not against people.
Anybody on that other side who's struggling with those things, my goodness, those are the people that Jesus told us to concentrate on, not us.
I want to make sure we keep us.
Right now, they're fighting for us.
But I want to get us to the point where we're so confident about us that we go after them.
And I mean, go after them to bring them to happiness.
Do you think they're happy?
Do you watch them in demonstrations?
Do these look like happy people?
I mean, this is not a joke.
This is not some kind of a meme or whatever.
When you look at them demonstrating, and I do, I look right in their faces when I get out there.
And sometimes these are not happy people.
These are human beings living extremely unhappy lives.
And when I look at our demonstrators and our people, if we have demonstrators, our turning point people or our Republican youth people or even our Republican convention, I look largely at kind of happy people.
Not all.
Most.
Yeah, some not.
And then, but let's also think about we just saw the Grammys the other night where they were all doing that.
They looked miserable.
They looked absolutely miserable and they were focused on divisive, divisive topics.
But I think we have more to tell you.
Ted has his hands up.
Well, we don't want to keep him up any longer than we have to.
He is.
I don't even know what time it is in Berlin.
You're going to have to tell us.
It's about 2:30 a.m. in the morning.
That's about the time I start reading your books that you sent me.
I don't know if you heard me.
Is that you?
Yes.
Good day, Mayor.
This is Ali Raza.
Good evening, Ali Reza.
It's so good to see you.
I don't know what time it is.
Where are you in a hole?
Are you on a hole?
Did they put you in a hole?
No, I'm in the middle of the city in Berlin.
It's freezing temperature here.
It's about close to 3 a.m. in the morning.
That's why I had to be careful not to wake up everybody, but I definitely, definitely Don't look bad for three in the morning, Ali Reza.
Thank you so much.
It's freezing temperatures below zero.
I have my gloves ready to have with me.
Put them on.
Don't be a fool.
I have my scarf.
Put it on.
Put it on.
No, it's not that bad now.
You know, it's freezing.
It's freezing here in Palm Beach.
Yes, it's absolutely freezing temperature.
So everyone is getting ready for the big day, which is Saturday.
Saturday.
We're going to cover that, Ted.
Can we cover that live?
Yeah.
I think you can.
I mean, what time will it take place in Berlin?
It's going to be about, I think, close to 2 p.m. in the afternoon in Berlin.
2 p.m.
2 p.m.
2 p.m. Nazi time.
I mean, German time.
Yeah, it's about, I think, about 8 a.m. like your time.
We can have to clean all day.
Yes.
We can get your camera here.
Okay, we're on.
We're covering at 8 a.m. starting on Saturday.
Steve and Ted started crying.
So call them later and tell them this is worth it.
Well, it is certainly worth it.
That's why in the freezing temperature.
Tell us what's going to happen.
A lot of the flights were canceled.
Now, you know, there's a famous place here in Berlin known as Brandenburg that's known for the Berin War.
We could do documentaries on that, my friend.
I was there with President Reagan.
Absolutely.
I've done a lot of things.
Brandenburg date.
Yes, it's near there.
They have a big space there.
And the occasion is actually very interesting because this is right around the 47th anniversary of the anti-monarchical dictatorship revolution that took place in 79 that swept the Shah out of power.
So every year there is some events, both celebrating the revolution, but also a reminder for everyone that the main goal of the revolution, which was to gain freedom, democracy, and political pluralism, has not been established because the mullahs stole the leadership of a January revolution.
And then this big rally that I was just having a lot of reports in front of me, EU reporter had a big story, you know, this morning, I mean, earlier today, saying as many as say that again, please.
There's a media called EU Reporter, you know, referring to European Union, EU reporter.
They had a big story and they posted on their Twitter that as many as 100,000 are expected to join this big rally and that is calling for freedom and democracy in Iran.
It's in support of the uprisings in Iran.
I'm talking to my boys here.
You know, Ali Reza comes with tremendous inside knowledge of what our operation looks like.
He was here three days ago.
So, you know, I got Stephen over here.
I got Ted over here.
And we're getting ready for Saturday.
And you have us enormously excited.
All right.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
So what happened today, though?
You were there today, and something did happen today, right?
Well, actually, today was there was a lot of snow in Berlin.
Lots of flights were canceled.
So people had to get on trains, cars, buses, just to get themselves to Berlin, but nothing could stop them.
And so people are coming from all over Europe and different places because they want to be here in Berlin on this historic day.
This is the day that they're standing up in support of a genuine revolution that was stolen by their, you know, by the mullahs and their goal.
Does the rally have a theme or name under which they are subscribing?
Yes.
Well, the rally has actually, it's very interesting, Mayor.
It has over 300 co-sponsors, you know, organizers who have joined together different groups.
These are all a lot of groups based in Germany dealing with various issues, but they all have one thing in common.
They support the cause of freedom in Iran.
They have a very positive view about the future.
Mrs. Rajavi and what she has accomplished, both for fighting against the Iran regime, but the goal that we have in Iran.
And then over 400 co-sponsors, various political organizations here, institutions, mayors of various cities across Germany.
This is big time, and they want to be in support of the people of Iran to stand up in their support.
There is a German organization here known as Friends of Free Iran.
And they just put out a statement saying that we will be part of it.
And they expect as many as 100,000, according to them, and talking to the organizers and people coming.
They're going to be joining this rally.
I offer this.
I offer this to you and take this to Madame Rajavi and Farzin, okay?
And you don't have to give me an answer right now because it could be a plus or minus, but I'm willing to sponsor you remotely and make sure you're on starting at 7:45 in the morning all over the world and willing to put my name to sponsoring you.
See if they would like, if that would help, okay?
And you let me know tomorrow.
Absolutely.
I will definitely relate the message.
Mayor, your name brings a lot of credibility, especially among the people of Iran who have joined you.
I wanted to reverberate.
And I think if we do that, I can figure out a way to make it reverberate on you're going to be Saturday morning, right?
What time are time?
Eight o'clock?
Yeah, it's around eight o'clock.
I can get that into prime time Saturday.
And I'm going to give you a little thinking about American media.
What's prime time Saturday?
Why is that so good?
It's the day before the Super Bowl, and there's nothing much else on.
Yes.
So we got a real opportunity that day to maybe make the American, more of the American people to understand what you can deliver for us.
I think, as you said, Bayer, you know, think about the cause of a free Iran, a non-nuclear republic, Iran, a non-bridging Iran, an Iran that can actually be a contributor to peace and tranquility, to lift everyone up, not just the people of Iran, but the whole region.
What a difference it will make for the people in the region, for the people in the United States, for the people around the world.
We need to see Iran transform from the epicenter of war and terror into the cradle of peace and coexistence.
That's the kind of prospect.
And that's why Mrs. Rajavi introduced not only her 10-point platform back in 2006, but also made a very clear roadmap to transition from dictatorship, the theocracy to a representative government.
She provided details of her platform again in November of 2024 before the European Parliament, making it very clear that when it comes to the era after the Molos,
there's nothing to worry about because here is a movement that has unified different sectors of the Iranian society and that has thought about all the details based on separation of religion and state, equality for men and women, but also nationalities.
There is a specific item in the 10-point platform that says all nationalities, you know, you have the Azeris, the Kurds, the Lurs, the Arabs, the Baluchis, the Turkmens, you name it, that is a very significant portion of the Iranian population who are all in favor of a free democratic Iran that respects the rights of these nationalities, unlike what the Molos have been treated,
the way they have been treating them, but also unlike what monarchy treated them under Mama Rizza Bahlabi and his, you know, his father, Reza Shah, you know, over the past 100 years.
So that's the prospect.
And we're going to see a lot of those minorities, people from all strata society joining in Berlin in one voice in support of the freedom in Iran,
in support of reviving the very spirit of the 1979 revolution, which was all about freedom, and also in support of a free democratic Iran and the peaceful transition that Mrs. Rajavi has elaborated on in details.
Well, absolutely.
And now, on Saturday, which will be eight o'clock our time and two o'clock your time?
Yes, it's going to be 2 p.m.
It'll be midday.
It'll be midday in Berlin.
Will Madame Rajavi be speaking?
I don't know.
I will find out about that.
Would you find out?
I will tell you that would be a very special thing for us in America.
I believe this is my personal opinion, easily rebutted by better experts than me.
But Madame Rajavi has an appeal that is transcendental.
I'm a very practical person.
I've put unbelievable criminals in jail.
I'm about as practical as you get.
And I've lived through everything.
I thought I lived through everything imaginable.
I haven't.
Nobody has.
And anybody who thinks that thinks they're God.
But Madame Rajavi is one of the most charismatic, truly wonderful people in the world.
And if we can convey that, this is all over.
Years of Work with a Wonderful Friend 00:03:29
I am perfectly confident that she can transition Iran within a couple of years into one of the great countries in the world.
Well, you know, in the past.
I'm not easily convinced.
And I got to tell you, I'm not easily convinced of that.
I know that might sound to some people like, you know, oh, this guy is easy.
You know, I'm pretty hard to convince.
Absolutely, Mayor.
I remember you had to get into lots of details of exactly how things have been shaping up in Iran.
It's years of work with you, my friend, and your people.
You and Farzine and all your wonderful people.
Wow.
So let's, I would love to see if I could capture her at that rally anytime on Saturday.
You can wake me up at two in the morning.
I'll put her on.
And then we'll decide.
You want her on or don't you?
I mean, I just think one or two exposures to the American people, they're going to love her because she's one of them.
Maybe different culture, different background, different religion, same aspirations.
Big time.
You know, Maria, Dr. Maria, who met her for the first time, not knowing, not knowing anything, knowing what I told her, knowing what she read, the good and the bad.
She came away from about a 14-minute meeting, 15-minute meeting, and said, this is a doctor who's run some of the worst hospitals in America.
She said, that woman is incredible.
Half the time she walks away from people, three-quarters of the time, she said, where'd you get that jerk?
I've got 10 stories like that about people who were extremely critical and extremely questionable.
And they walk away, not just convinced, like ready to fight for her.
This is an exceptional woman.
Every once in a while, we get one, like we did with Trump, like we did with Reagan, like we did with Margaret Thatcher.
I can pick a few more, but we can't miss her.
We have to.
It's your and I'm obligation to get her out there to the world.
Okay?
Absolutely, Mayor.
And I know in the past she has addressed similar rallies via online, you know, because obviously she's headquartered in Paris, but she gets her voice heard in different places, different venues, because it's important to get her message out, as you said.
She represents not herself, a nation.
She represents the desire of a nation, those who stood up to fight for freedom, those who suffered in the Iranian prisons, those who gave their lives to see a different Iran, but also those who have been victimized by this regime over decades.
Representing A Nation 00:15:05
And that's why she resonates with, you know, with human beings.
100%.
And much of this story has been suppressed.
So when she does it, she almost has to do it on emotion that gets you to go back and review it and find out she's right.
Because you don't really understand how much false news, how much propaganda, how much just pure lying has been done on behalf of the regime.
I mean, the only place I can think of that's better than them is the Chinese communists.
They're better than the Russians.
I mean, the regime.
Their ability at brainwashing is.
Wow.
Wow.
You can understand how the Chinese are.
They have tremendous resources.
But the Iranian regime of terror for its size.
This is an expression from American boxing, if you don't mind.
It's pound for pound.
The best brainwasher in the world, better than China.
They really are.
Look what they've done to us.
I mean, we're always fighting from behind.
You and I overcome, but we're always fighting from behind, right?
Well, this is the nature of the mullahs in Iran.
They, you know, think about demagoguery tricks, lies.
They are masters.
They make, you know, Goebbels, who was the, you know, lying minister for Hitler, they make him look like a chorus boy.
I mean, these guys are absolutely masters in demography and lies and deception.
That's what they did with their nuclear program.
That's what they did, you know, the way they advanced their missile program, their terrorism.
Right now, during the uprising that started in late December and continued into January, they killed thousands and thousands of people.
And you know what?
They show up on television.
They say it was the people themselves who were shooting at the demonstrators.
I mean, the whole world had seen the crime committed by the regime, that how much people wanted the mullahs out.
And it was so serious that even Khamene said it was a coup d'etat, but he flips everything, puts the blame on the people who were massacred in the streets of Iran.
And you can imagine what the regime does with its main opponent, main opposition, and someone like Mrs. Rajavi that undermines the credibility of the regime in every aspect from religion to politics to practical things to women leading the affairs of Iran as opposed to the misogyny of the Iran regime.
It's just unbelievable.
But that's why I think within that context, when you have such a massive group of people joining together, we have several parliaments, over 40 parliaments around the world, in Europe and other places, with a majority of their members supporting her platform, the 10-point platform for the future of Iran,
that is based on separation of religion and state, gender equality, freedom of religion, freedom of political parties, free market economy, peace in the Middle East and a non-nuclear republic, Iran, and also her roadmap to transition, because people might worry what's going to happen after the fall of the Ayatollahs.
And she has a very clear platform that we're going to set up for free and fair elections leading to the National and Constituent Assembly.
And they will draft the new constitution and put it to the vote.
And the goal is to transfer power from theocracy to the people of Iran.
That's her goal, her movement's goal.
And that's why I feel now is the time with all the things the world has seen from the Iranian regime, but also the desire of a nation that has risen up and trying to fight and embrace freedom.
And that's all going to be on this.
The people of Iran, they are right now, your people, both the Persian and the ethnic minorities whom you all embrace.
The Shah would cut them in half and kill them.
The other half.
That's what they did.
But you all embraced them.
These are remarkable people.
And all they want is the ability in a very simple way to govern themselves.
And if whoever gives that to them will be their friend forever.
And it has to be us, the greatest force for democracy on earth, the United States of America.
And you know that.
You're an American and an Iranian, right?
Like I'm an American and an Italian.
And all Americans have some background of some kind.
But I know you're an American mostly, overwhelmingly, a patriotic, a patriotic, wonderful American.
I appreciate that, Mayor.
And I think there is a reason that, you know, a majority of the House, a CDF number, both Republican and Democrats in the Senate, in addition to a very large number of very senior former officials who have all come out and said,
you know, they are in support of the people of Iran, freedom in Iran, in support of the platform that Mrs. Rajiv has introduced, the 10-point platform for the future of Iran, because that overlaps.
We're going to go through that 10-point platform tomorrow night to get ready for Saturday.
We're going to see if anybody wants to object to any of it.
There's no American that would object to any part of it.
It is what constitutes a decent government in the modern world.
Simple as that.
A government that George Bush, number two, gets criticized for many things, justly, unjustly, whatever.
He had one very, very, one idea that's transcendental and it's fabulous, and that is democracies don't make war.
If we can get countries to become democracies, representational democracies, they're not going to make war.
They're going to find ways to negotiate.
Look, we're having a big dispute with Norway, right?
Over Greenland.
President went to Europe, said, we're not going to go to war with Greenland.
That's ridiculous.
Even if you think about it a little, if you're both democracies, there's no reason to go to war.
You can negotiate.
You get 10%, we get 90%.
You get 60%, we get 40%.
You get 50%, we get.
That's what democracies do.
And their people are saved from being killed.
Your people are some of the most intelligent people in the world.
Your inclusion in the world of democracy will be a boom.
you're gonna you will lift us i believe that from the day i joined you because i know you i know your per your persian history from being a student of ancient history when they used to teach such things so i'm with you we're going to talk a lot because we're going to try to plan saturday so it really is special okay Thank you so much, Mayor.
I want to really thank you for everything you have done in informing the world, the public, American people, and everybody else.
Is Farzine and Madame Rajabi there yet?
No, I don't know if they're going to be.
Yeah, Mr. Jai is going to be here.
I'm going to call them tomorrow.
I'm going to call them tomorrow, too.
Would you just repeat one thing?
Because they never let me say this.
They interrupt me.
I owe them more than they owe me because of the opportunity they've given me to fight for the thing I care for most in life, freedom.
Kind of at the end of my life.
God bless you.
Don't say anything.
God bless you.
I wish I could say more.
I wish I could do that tomorrow.
We'll have you tomorrow.
I wanted to be respectful.
Be respectful.
You can do it tomorrow.
Okay.
I love that man.
You don't know that.
I'm in love with him in an appropriate way.
I just, you know, I just want to make sure.
You understand that.
So a remarkable show, Ted.
This could be one of our most remarkable shows.
Very much so.
A lot of stuff emerged here that.
Well, so here's what this means.
This show just sort of set our agenda a bit.
Right.
I think Saturday we're going to present to the American people something that none of these make-believe, silly, multi-trillion dollar funded pieces of shit present to them.
Right.
I think we're going to try and do the best we can to present them a live presentation from Berlin on how Europeans feel about a free, democratic, Western-oriented, non-Muslim-dominated Christian Jewish hating Islam.
And that the largest majority of Muslim people want to be moved in that direction.
So maybe we'll start somewhere around 8 or 7.30 in the morning, which means we have to sacrifice for freedom and go to sleep early.
There are all kinds of sacrifices you make for freedom.
Come on.
I've been in this thing, you know, 81 years pretty, but getting close to my 82nd birthday, my friend.
February.
You got a way to go.
February, March, April.
Yeah, you keep putting it off.
Four months.
I feel great.
Look, I got to tell you the truth.
Could end.
I feel like I'm about 65.
I feel as energetic as I was when I was campaigning for Trump.
I think I could do the 14 hours a day again.
I would need four hours to sleep.
Would that be it?
And good food.
No, no, no, no.
And then every six or seven days, I need like 12 hours.
Exactly.
Well, I think someone had something to say about that.
I think in the Bible somewhere, it says something about keeping one day a week holy and resting.
Yeah, yeah, we've got to work on that.
I know.
I mean, Sunday is so beautiful.
A good Saturday.
I don't know.
I haven't even decided yet where we're going to church on Sunday.
What are the options?
Well, the options are always St. Edwards, which you like very much because it's so beautiful.
You like, you know, Stephen, this is very hard to say to a Lutheran, but you like the majesty of the Catholic Church.
Oh, absolutely.
I'm not ashamed of that.
He loves the beauty of the mass.
And I got to tell you, St. Edward's is one-third of what you get.
If I were to take you to Rome.
You did, actually.
I know I did.
We didn't do a big mass.
Yeah.
We go to Rome for a big, or I'll give you another one that's real close by, and I know we have to do it.
Man, I've done it once, but without you guys, if we were to drive back, we don't anymore drive back from New Hampshire to New York.
We pass Holy Cross.
And 30 miles from Holy Cross, there's a beautiful monastery of the Montfort Fathers where we could go and listen to them pray the Mass.
Is that a more rural area?
Oh, no, no, that's a rural area.
They make all their own food.
That's what I want.
They sell their own wine.
They sell their own milk.
They have things you can schedule like a retreat.
They're a little skimpy on women being at the retreat, which I don't know.
I think they should overcome.
No worries.
No, I think they should overcome a little.
But in any event, you can go there like if 9-17.
If we were to get, if no, we could make I've forgotten where we are.
We're in Florida.
We couldn't get there.
But if we were in New Hampshire now, we could get there for their four o'clock Mass in the morning.
And you can't imagine how beautiful it is.
It's a solemn high mass.
It's preceded by the two prayers that are designated by the Catholic Church for today for something like 1600 years.
And they sing it.
And then they do the Mass.
And then they go into the fields and they take care of their cows and they take care of their sheep and they take care of their grapes and they take care of their retreat there.
They give you breakfast based on what they, and this is the only retreat where you get wine at dinner.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, and that celebrating the harvest, nothing gets you closer to God than celebrating a good harvest that he provided you with.
Steve Banks' Corruption Allegations 00:16:34
So it's fascinating.
And the return to God is so important.
You know why?
First of all, even if you, I hate to say this, but even if you don't believe in God, it takes you down a little.
Like, don't believe in you.
You're not that smart.
I'm sorry.
You may have been first in your class.
You got into Harvard ahead of everybody else.
You know everything.
You don't know everything.
You don't know everything.
There's a whole realm of existence that is way beyond you because there's not a stinking one of you.
I've read every philosopher.
I've listened to every make-believe genius that was going to tell me how the world started without God.
And none of you have succeeded in persuading me.
You tell me how the world started without God.
What was it?
What started it?
There's nothing.
Nothing.
And now there's something and ultimately breed human life and consciousness.
Amen.
Got to give an amen to that one.
And that's why we're so grateful too for like with the Super Bowl coming up, we have these.
You want to take it back to that?
You go figure out what that was.
And then tell me that, how do you tell me I'm wrong when you don't know you're right?
Exactly.
It's sort of the arrogance of science.
But on the matter of faith, Turning Point USA is doing a Super Bowl halftime show that's a little more in line with that and getting the people out.
So what do you think of that?
Can I see any of it?
You have any?
Yeah.
Well, the show, I mean, it's happening.
We have to tune in at halftime.
Well, do they have any like little previews of what we're going to see?
We're going to see, well, basically, the whole theme is pro-America, right?
So we love Charlie Kirk and we love Mrs. Kirk.
So if we can see them, his unbelievable appeal, her unbelievable appeal and beauty, I mean, my goodness.
Right.
Oh, yeah.
Look at that.
Look at that Zandami devil face and compare it with Kid Rock.
Compare that with Erica Kirk, who looks like an angel.
Oh, yeah.
This is a halftime show right here.
Erica Kirk looks like she was sent to Mary to tell her that she was going to have a virgin birth.
So a heck of a lineup here for the, you know, better halftime show.
Oh, better halftime show?
No, Kid Rock, Brantley Gilbert.
Kid Rock, we love Kid Rock.
Even he, we and I met, Ted and I met Kid Rock.
He's a friend of ours.
Where'd you see Kid Rock?
His place in Nashville.
Oh, yeah.
I was actually supposed to be down there for you were, you were, but you screwed us.
Yeah.
I was busy in Michigan.
That was during the campaign.
I know.
I'm just being difficult.
What's that?
I was going to make a joke about how we do, but we won.
Yeah.
I have a few things I have to tell people, okay?
So let's stop.
I mean, I know how much we love.
Well, that's important.
I know how much we love Kid Rock.
And I know how much we, I know how, how, how we love all of these people, but I have to have to come up with a couple of bad little things here.
So there's a battle going on, which you should know about.
And I haven't gotten involved yet in this.
I will.
I will, big time.
Hochle, Polko, Nokel, Dokel Crook is in a battle with the Nassau County executive, Bruce Blakeman, who is her probably opponent to save the state of New York.
Bruce, who I think won't come on the show because maybe he thought we favored, what's the name?
Which Congresswoman.
Yeah.
Yeah, I know who you're talking about.
From where?
From upstate New York.
Stefanic.
Stefanik.
And I have to tell you, now, you know, I'm honest with you all.
I did.
I didn't favor Stefanik because I think any less of Bruce.
I have the highest opinion possible in the world of Bruce.
I think Bruce is, I've lived in Nassau County for roughly seven of my first 21 years, 7, 14, 21, right?
So I think he's done as great a job with Nasser County as possible, being next to the Soviet creation of New York City.
He's right next to it.
He gets all the problems.
He gets all of the ridiculous appeal to most horrible illegal aliens.
And he's been handling it brilliantly, making it safe, handling the education thing, just what you would want.
But I thought Stefanik, now this is, this comes from being semi-expert on New York politics, the geography of it.
I'm not an expert on the geography of most politics, but New York I am.
I thought Stefanik was the better candidate because she came from upstate New York.
She had a higher name recognition.
She had a Trump support, Trump endorsement.
I thought, maybe not, maybe yes.
She's a hell of a candidate.
MAGA Nation behind her for sure.
National Moga Nation.
I thought she could take Hokul and it would be like, you know, a second round knockout.
If there had not been a Stephaniek, make believe there was no Stephanie.
She never existed.
You know, it's like a wonderful world.
I don't want to live in that world.
Well, let's say she never existed.
I hope not.
I mean, I don't mean anything bad for her.
But suppose there was only Bruce Blakeman.
I take him.
Oh, without question.
Bruce Blakeman has been an enormously successful executive in what had been turned to a red, ridiculous county.
He has straightened it out.
He has gotten the crime rates down to those that I would admire.
And now he's in a pitch battle, which I think should win the damn election for him with Hokle Pocul, over whether you should cooperate with ICE or not.
Gosh almighty, the red Chinese governor of Minnesota is cooperating with ICE.
And the baby retarded mayor of Minnesota is cooperating with ICE.
And she has said that Nassau County can't turn anybody over to ICE.
And Bruce is saying it's my call, not yours, stupid ass, who only cares really about getting the money from the Buffalo Bills Stadium.
Please, let's go back to that.
That's why she's there.
She's a dumb little shit local crook who worked her whole life to engineer things so that her husband could get a rebuild of the Buffalo Bills Stadium someplace 100,000 miles outside of Buffalo so that he could have his concessions get all the money and they will triple when you have the new stadium.
And people from Buffalo, when there's a snowstorm, won't be able to get to see the game, which they've been complaining about for 30 years.
And somehow, and somehow, he bullshit, she bullshitted the people into going for this.
She is as crooked as they get.
And this is before I tell you about the $300 million scandal, which I will, as the campaign goes along.
The LA fire report has determined what I don't even know why we have to do this, but we have to do this because there are left-wing liars.
Mayor Karen Bass secretly altered the official Palisades fire response to downplay the failures made by the city and fire department like there was no water in the fire hydrants.
Wow.
Why do you put up with this?
If a Republican ever did this, you'd probably sold the water to someone.
Do you realize how you screw the poor people of America by accepting for them the worst, most incompetent, corrupt treatment possible?
Where was she during the fires?
She was on a big, big trip so she could be honored as some kind of a thing she isn't a successful mayor.
Where?
Fiddling in Ghana as LA burns.
My city is burning.
We have no water in the fire hydrants, but I'm really important because I'm a black who made it in America to kill people and to kill blacks.
Can we give a shout out to the LA Times headline writer for this one?
It's Bass Directed Watering Down of Palisades Fire After Action Report.
She watered it down.
Yeah.
Watered it down.
But I ran a city for eight years.
I knew a city for I don't know how many years.
I had an uncle who was a fire captain.
You don't have a fire hydrant without water unless you have incompetence of a criminal kind.
She's a criminal.
Amen.
In jail.
None of this bullshit.
And then we straighten out America and LA.
The Department of Health has a whole big organization to study the poor effect on the Palestinians in Palestine.
It couldn't really help health in America.
I'm sure Mamdani will give them extra money.
And they don't seem to have anything to do with all of the unbelievable out of control increasing by almost 100% a year anti-Semitic attacks in New York.
Those people can go to hell.
That's why, yes, yes, yes, yes, you elected as a mayor of New York, you effing assholes, a guy who hates Jews.
You want to just face that?
You elected someone who hates the Jewish people.
Do you have any doubt of that?
I mean, do you believe any of the rationalizations?
If you do, I don't know, go back.
You probably are a product of some kind of a teachers union public school.
Oh, yeah.
Where you really aren't educated.
I mean, you can't do math, you can't do reading, but you probably could recite by memory the 58 genders, I think.
I don't know, maybe you can't.
So Mamdani is going to make it even worse by selecting as his corporation counsel an individual who was an enormously suspicious character in the Blasio administration.
I thought he left under investigation Steve Banks.
So Steve Banks is going to be his corporation counsel.
I don't know Steve Banks as an accomplished lawyer, much less an accomplished American.
I kind of have this feeling that he was under all kinds of corruption investigations.
But among other things, this is not a legal scholar of independent reputation that can give him some reasonable interpretations of the Constitution other than those that are determined by someone who is an adherent of the amoral homicide inducing Karant.
Right.
Also, he was just being, he just went through a, he just went through a confirmation hearing, which they paid no attention to.
And he spent that time defending how somehow Mamdani, by ignoring the snowfall, by not taking people off the streets, ended up with more people dead than any mayor in history, 17.
And who knows when they dig out, there could be a few more bodies, because ridiculously, we're now a week later.
And this communist Islamic extremist mayor supported by a family, the Banks family, which I can't say this.
A lot of people tell me is so crooked, it makes things laughable.
Like the whole family is crooked.
And they helped to make de Blasio up to now the worst mayor in New York City, quickly being eclipsed by 17 people dead during a snowstorm.
Never before, I don't think, a communist.
How do we get out of this?
Does the city have to be locked into a horrible, maniacal, homicidal choice for four years?
Because that's what you did.
And Steve Banks, go look him up.
Defending how the mayor got seven people killed during the snowstorm is just one of many.
Well, what else you got?
Oh, my goodness.
New York is described as the winter blunderland.
I love this.
Hasn't been that way since the last left-wing, really left-wing mayor, John Lindsay, who was a Republican who turned crazy left-winger.
I've never seen this in my life.
The piles and everything said, John Michael Bolger.
This guy Mamdani is full of S22T.
He's more concerned about getting jackets that look cool when he does press conferences, Bolger added, dinging Mamdani's Coston custom design cart hat, whatever.
Carhart, Carhartt.
It's a very trendy thing.
It's actually meant for I know it.
Oh, well, so if you've ever seen construction workers, it's a very like rugged thing.
But now the Brooklyn class has kind of taken Carhartt and now Carhartt clothes.
Some of the construction workers are able to sell it used for more than they paid for it because it's so trendy.
So Carhartt, yeah, that's a very trendy decision on his part.
African American Identity Questioned 00:05:55
He probably spent a lot of time on it.
I'm going to get caught on it.
And they're going to put a nice thing on here for me.
Now you think my dad could put it right here for my nice card on it because I'm a freaking asshole.
So what do you think?
And I'm a communist.
You know, I'm a communist.
I have to somehow figure out how I can be a communist and an Islamic terrorist at the same time.
It'll work out.
So there's now here's the rest of the article, which I guess can't be ignored.
I mean, he did get his style.
What do you call Steinhardt?
Carhartt.
Oh, Carhartt.
Okay.
He got his Carhartt.
You think it looks that good?
You really think that's like, what does that cost?
Oh, you know what?
Well, I mean, obviously, the crook didn't pay for it, but how much does it cost?
I bet it'd be around five.
But you know, he's rich.
He could pay for it.
His old man could pay for it.
Oh, do you think he did?
His old man got rich by attacking America.
Isn't that great?
You get a guy that attacks America.
He's rich.
Hey, really quick.
He wasn't born here, right?
Zoran Mandami.
What?
Zoron wasn't born in the U.S. Is that right?
No, no, he was born in Africa or something.
I think so.
He did pick African.
We don't really know where he came from.
He picked African-American on his application, right?
His college.
Yeah, but he's not.
Look, I mean, he's an African-American as you are.
Yeah, but I'm just wondering, like, thank you.
But he was born an African, Africa-American of two non-African-American parents, one of whom, one of whom it now turns out, was hanging around with Epstein.
The mom when he was a baby.
And so the AI pictures aren't real, but I mean, they were allergic about Trump.
This guy was exposed to that guy when he was a baby with his mommy.
Mommy took him to see the pedophile.
Maybe that's how he got to where he is.
How do I know?
The whole thing is weird as hell.
Barr's father hired him and Barr was going to recuse himself from the case.
And then he didn't.
Nobody's looked into that.
And I have a lot of problems with Bill Barr, who every once in a while shows up on Fox and is presented as if he's some kind of fair arbiter of things and is exceedingly deceptive to you.
This is a man who sat on the legitimate Hunter Biden computer hard drive while his boss was being unfairly impeached.
And the evidence could have easily cleared him.
Now, when if you've seen the former attorney general, if he put his ass on something, it would be hard to get it.
And he put his ass on it for a year.
I sent it over to him at the end of january 2020 and if you would like me to have 10 witnesses, I can get them for you.
He suppressed it for a year through what was done to the NEW YORK POST, until 17 months later.
Yeah, I didn't realize.
He literally tell me that I.
Now his father, hired pedophile Epstein, with no qualifications, to be a teacher at his left-wing, useless, silly, unbelievably dangerous school that exists on the east side of Manhattan that all of the hoi poi in Manhattan love to put their children in and have destroyed them.
Right.
What is it, Calhoun School or the Boopity Doop School?
What's it called?
It has a name.
I'll get the name for it in a second.
left-wing jackass school the anti-american forerunner of the communist infiltration school let's see this is a school how come i knew that when i was I knew that when I was a kid.
When I saw that school, I know exactly, you know, I know exactly where everything in Manhattan is.
I would actually take my detail and ride two or three blocks around it because I didn't want any fumes to come out.
Well, honestly, let's not put them too much in a league of their own because a lot of our public schools are actually communist indoctrination factories as well.
Well, yeah, now they get specific messages on how to protest.
Yeah, they can't spell ICE, but they're in charge.
They have to write.
They're given curriculum against ICE to be taught in American public school so they can begin by hating our law enforcement offices on heading on a life in which maybe some percentage of them will be killed.
Right.
Well, Mayor, we have some breaking news coming to us tonight.
The U.S. State Department has advised all U.S. citizens to leave Iran.
Well, I would have thought that was kind of the standing recommendation, right?
With everything going on, but I guess this just really hammers it home that something's happening.
The U.S. State Department has sent out this advisory.
You got my comment, right?
I've only been waiting for this for about a decade and a half.
No, no.
I've been waiting for this from the day they took our hostages.
Hockey and Gender Separation 00:14:54
Probably good you never elected me president.
Even my hero, I disagree with on one thing, not taking the first Ayatollah out during his administration.
Right out.
When was the opportunity to do that?
Oh my gosh, the opportunity gets anytime.
You just put it together.
Just go get them, pull them out and execute them after holding American hostages and embarrassing this country for that long.
I believe, please, please, all my Reagan friends, I love him.
He was the greatest president in the 20th century.
He still remains the greatest president.
No greatest president can do everything right.
Washington didn't.
Lincoln didn't.
Roosevelt's not even a greatest president.
Roosevelt won maybe is.
And Reagan 1 and 2 is.
But they're not going to do everything right.
One of the things that Donald Trump did wrong because his concentration was on communism.
I understand it.
And it could be a diversion from the resources he needed and the alliances he needed to do what he did, which is exceptional, which Trump hasn't done yet, but is on its verge of doing, which is to be one of the great liberators in American history.
So to me, our greatest presidents are Abraham Lincoln, who liberated the South and liberated African Americans to be free people.
You're here.
I give credit to Franklin Roosevelt.
Now, I got to take some back, but I'm going to give him the credit for liberating Western Europe from communism, from Nazism, France, Germany, England, the Baltic countries.
Without him, they'd be speaking German.
Let's take back a little a lot.
Poland, Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Czechoslovakia, Yugoslavia, never, never, never had to be communist.
Never.
But for the communists around Roosevelt.
And you require me at some point to prove that.
And I will.
Look how much.
And therefore, he was on the list of presidents.
Franklin D. Roosevelt was, let me use a Brooklyn word, a shitty president.
Because he left us with the Cold War and he left us with what we're dealing with now.
Biggest reversal, Ronald Reagan.
Aside from Lincoln, the biggest pure delivery to freedom, Ronald Reagan, all of Eastern Europe.
All of Eastern Europe never had to be if Patton had been allowed to do what he was absolutely ready to do.
And the communists around Roosevelt, who at that time was probably like Biden.
Only thing he could do is get blowjobs from Missy Lahan at that point.
But no thinking.
And we lost Poland, Czechoslovakia, Yugoslavia, Hungary, Romania, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia.
None of them wanted to be communist.
I missed a few.
Ronald Reagan and two.
Ronald Reagan, 80%.
George Bush, number one, 20%.
Liberated them.
Maybe even 70-30.
Pope John Paul, Margaret Thatcher, 10% each.
We got to be fair.
What a day.
Sounded like communism was over.
But we forgot there can be a hangover of communism in the vicious person of Vladimir Putin, misunderstood by Bush and Trump.
I'm sorry, Mr. President.
We disagree on Vladimir, I think.
Well, not totally.
What about China?
Oh, we haven't fixed on China.
And are ridiculous being outfoxed by China, that they are the less dangerous of the communist adversaries.
They're the more dangerous.
They're the less severe.
They're the more severe.
That we could convince them to be a capitalist country and a democracy.
Capitalist?
Yes, because you can make a lot of money, democracy.
And I wouldn't call it capitalist necessarily.
I don't know what you'd call it.
Crony, crony communism.
Crony communism is a better description.
Even their communist homicidal tendencies are greater than even most communists.
They're a country.
Here's the thing to look at.
And please don't get upset with me.
Even those of you who do Shenyun and Chinese culture, you're going to have to convince me that Chinese culture is not homicidal.
There are so many people in China, the value of human life is like boopis.
Well, I think that's more among the elites, right?
Because I feel like the population at large is rather docile and has been sort of exactly.
Whereas in Western civilization, due to the effect of Judaism, Greek philosophy, Roman organization, and then Christ becoming man, the human being was elevated to a level that these people do not understand.
And we are embarrassed to say that we are the predominant humanitarian civilization.
We're the civilization that values human life more than any other.
And if we don't understand the dichotomies and the differences and what we have to do to transform them, we'll always be at a disadvantage in a war because we're more sensitive to losses than they are.
Look at Ukraine.
You know, little Ukraine, that Russia should have wiped out the way we wiped out Iraq.
Or even the way we wiped out Afghanistan, which they didn't.
It was the occupation that became the issue is a great example of the difference between us.
Now, I don't know what stage we're at right now.
I see it building.
Every logical ability of my mind to stay calm and stay rational and read and listen and think tells me we're going to attack them this weekend.
Well, let's not telegraph too much.
Well, I don't know.
I mean, this is me.
I don't really, I don't think it matters if they tell you.
What are they going to do?
Shoot up balloons?
What did Israel leave them with?
I don't know.
Maybe I let Israel go in and do a couple of days of bombing.
What the heck, right?
You think PB in mind?
Be good practice for them.
But in any event, I do think this doesn't end peacefully.
This ends with war of some kind, hopefully limited.
Every reason to believe it will be limited.
And sometime about three weeks from now, we'll be starting to put Iraq back together again.
Iran.
Iran back together again.
Always confusing.
Well, let's hope and let's pray.
Now, let's see what else we have.
Is there any other things we left out here?
The Olympics started.
And one should know that the U.S., the U.S. won already.
Yeah, who do we beat?
Take a look.
Oh, who we beat?
Well, they're not going to like that.
And who wiped him out?
Five to one.
Yeah.
Got any pictures?
I'm trying to find someone.
Are they in Paris?
Well, I'm sure.
I mean, if you got beat at like something that your entire identity is based around, it would be.
Well, Sweden beat Germany.
Italy.
Where do we even play yet?
Yeah, Sweden played.
They beat Germany.
No, the U.S. U.S. played.
They played the first game.
Come on, guys.
It's a country.
It's a country you'd be interested in.
Well, I thought it was Canada, but I got to.
Yeah, yeah.
They're giving us a hot fifth in time.
And they're supposed to be the inventors of hockey.
You know what we beat them by?
Five to one.
Oh, wow.
Maybe they didn't even show up for the game.
We kicked the shit out of them.
Good.
Okay.
Give us Alberta and British Columbia.
I don't know.
Portland and LA.
We beat the Czech Republic five to one.
Oh, the Czech Republic.
And that was women's.
Oh, that was the women's conference.
Which is fine.
Oh, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
Men's schedule, we start on the 12th.
Well, that's the actual.
We play on the 12th.
So Sweden beat Germany.
What was that?
Let's see.
And Italy beat France, which I like.
I don't think the French are playing hockey.
It's too hard a game.
People get hurt.
And they don't like war.
The men's tournament.
So they're playing the women's right now.
Why?
Which is it only women in it?
And so the women's women beat Germany in the women's tournament.
And Italy beat France.
Okay, so our hockey analysis leaves a little bit to be desired, I guess.
Sorry about that.
I don't know.
I need somebody that understands hockey to explain.
I'm a USA hockey official, but explain it to me.
Well, the women's tournament is going on right now.
I'm looking at these things.
The men's tournament is going on right now.
What you're reading is the women's tournament.
Oh.
And the men's tournament starts next.
I didn't know that women played hockey.
Oh, yeah.
They do.
They do?
Absolutely.
Less hitting.
Against men?
No, women.
It's like a women's league.
If they can make it in the men's league, they would.
But we'll read up on this.
You know, the Olympics kind of creeped up on us.
I didn't even know they started.
The women play, the men play in women's hockey?
Absolutely not.
Well, actually, growing up, we would play the women, the girls.
We were the boys.
I played ice hockey growing up.
You played against girls?
You would play against the girls, but we were the might.
We were mites.
It's called might.
We play against the women who are a little bit older.
We didn't ask you about that when we hired you.
You played against girls?
You played against girls.
Yeah, but I think you're not following.
Like, this would be tight at about 10 years ago.
I was in second grade playing against the sixth grade girls hockey team.
Oh, my God.
We did do that.
What locker room are you?
I grew up in Michigan of the Upper Peninsula.
I know you did.
Everyone played hockey.
You had several.
You had about 10 years of communist governance.
Oh, my God.
Amoral, amoral.
But enough girly communists.
The one before you with the big effing mole on her face that she had taken off.
Yeah, she had like a big But we'll read up on Olympics and we'll come back tomorrow night with a full report Yeah, you got to straighten out this playing against women thing.
Right.
Did you stay in your locker room?
These were girls and I was a boy.
I was 11, they were like 16.
Isn't he giving very, very like circumlocutious answers instead of like no?
It brought back a memory, though.
Well, it's all the kids.
You have a right to remain silent.
Anything you say can be used.
I think the point being, they would have to turn to defense lawyer instead of prosecuting.
Well, this guy's too easy.
Well, this is actually an argument for keeping men and women separated.
Again, they, you know, and it wasn't competitive.
And we were, again, 10 years old playing against 16-year-olds.
So, so to give the girls practice, they let the 16-year-old girls play against the 10-year-old boys.
The 10-year-old boys beat them.
We would use them almost always.
I believe, if I remember correctly, we would beat them.
Oh, yeah.
I remember.
So, the point being, they'd match up sixth graders with second graders, maybe even older.
And really, you need that competition to give the girls someone to play against because it is less popular among girls.
It's growing.
There's like enough to have.
So, you don't have enough girls to play.
Is that it?
No, they do, but they can't feel like money.
So, why can't eight-year-olds, girls play against eight- and nine-year-old boys?
Oh, because they do.
But they don't know where the hockey stick is.
There's only so many of that.
There's only a limited number of teams.
And the highly skilled girls want to have more different teams to play against to develop their talent better.
So you can only play against so many girls.
And actually, we have girl teams that come up from Florida to Michigan to play because there's so few women's teams down here.
So they have to get an opportunity to play as much as they can.
And I support that.
Is there a reason why women have to play hockey?
I mean, there's some other sport like teamwork, athleticism, character building.
How about super fast cooking?
Oh, okay.
No, no, no.
For your husband.
So when he comes home at night, he'll be nice and women's hockey.
Sam Darnold's Experience 00:15:40
And he'll love you whatever.
So what else we got?
Who are we praying for tonight?
You can see a difference in generation.
Hockey is very popular where I'm probably anti-anti-Semitism.
The Senate has opened a probe of Mamdani into anti-Semitism.
That may never end.
The ability to investigate Mamdani for hating Jews is endless.
And including a work group he set up in his administration to focus on what you can do against Jews.
Believe it or not.
Yeah.
So Hochul and Blakeman, I told you, I think are at it, right?
Hochul wants to stop Blakeman from cooperating with ICE.
Blakeman wants to cooperate with ICE.
So this will be a battle.
Now, Blakeman is a creature of the state.
Hochul is the creature of the state.
The federal law, however, says basically you got to cooperate.
State law says you don't.
What does Blakeman follow?
If he follows state law, he'll get federal agents in there, like, you know, against Wallace, who will enforce federal law.
If he elevates federal law over state law, as he should, because this is an area of preemption, he'll get state people in there trying to arrest him.
Now, I think we should call Bruce and tell Bruce, make a big deal out of this.
Right.
This illustrates what has been written by several of the legal scholars in very, very great form, including Professor Dershowitz, about how, and even by some very intelligent, conservative columnists, that we are getting very close to an insurrection here in the United States.
Thank God that's why we rolled it.
I mean, we had to turn the temperature down a little bit, right?
And I think that's getting cold.
I mean, the president did turn the temperature down, but we were.
I mean, Victor Davis Hansen wrote an article saying we were right on the verge of insurrection, and we were.
And it's probably not good.
But please understand that the people that are rising against the federal government are the same people that did in 1850 and 1860, the party of the Democrats.
And they're doing it to distract from the massive fraud that was sweeping and continues to sweep every stand and for everything else they do.
I mean, they have no message.
They really have no message, but an extraordinarily negative one.
So the Super Bowl.
Where are we on the Super Bowl, Ted?
Patriots are the Seahawks are four and a half point favorites.
Yeah, I don't need you to tell me that.
So it's give me some insight here.
Yeah.
Well, with all this other news, look, it's, you got two young quarterbacks both capable of coming up with explosive plays.
They can throw the ball.
They can run.
They can run enough and strong offensive lines.
Who's the better quarterback?
Let's get on.
Probably Drake May.
Who?
Drake May.
And how does the fact that Darnold has more experience counter against that?
Right.
Sam Darnold has more experience.
And has May is like in his first, isn't he in his first year?
He's second, first year as a starter.
And is there news that he has a sore shoulder or some sort of illness?
So we'll see.
Who's got a bad shoulder?
May.
We'll see.
Well, we'll give our full preview tomorrow, Friday before the game.
Who do they have to replace him?
I think he's just going to play.
No, Drake Mayo.
Drake May is fine.
Did he replace anybody?
Did Drake May replace somebody?
Yeah.
So he.
Can that guy come back?
Was it Tom Brady?
No.
See, I'm not the analyst.
Tom Brady.
Tom Brady.
Go Pats.
Before Drake May.
I don't think he would play against Jacoby Brissett.
But he was replaced in October.
So May may not be.
No, he's fine.
He's going to be fine, but that's just what they're going to do.
Will he be 100%?
That's the question.
None of them are 100% at this point in the season.
I know that, but two weeks can get you there.
He'll be ready to play.
We don't.
And what about they'll tell us?
Yeah, they'll give the full injury reports before the game.
You never believe those.
I need more insights than that.
And how is how Sam Darnold had a very good write-up today in the Wall Street Journal about what a great find he was for them?
Well, he had a really good season with the Vikings.
And why do the Vikings?
He had two very bad games at the end of the season, though.
He blew two playoff games, right?
The Vikings had paid a young rookie named JJ McCarthy who got hurt.
So Sam Darnold came in and had a great year, but the team had already planned on this new rookie.
No, He lost the last two games of the year with them.
Who did?
Sam.
He lost the last two games of the year with the Vikings, and he got totally creamed in one of them.
So, does he fall apart under pressure?
Well, yeah, they lost in the playoffs.
I'm guessing that they lost in the playoffs.
They went 14 and three.
You don't write that down in your card.
He lost in the three.
What?
They went 14 and three with that's great.
That's great.
That's great.
But go talk to your hero, Lombardi.
What do you do in the playoffs, baby?
What are you doing to play with me?
Well, that was his first time.
So they went with a rookie who ended up going nine and eight and missed the playoffs.
And he's having a lot of problems throwing the ball.
So in retrospect, he had terrible seasons with the Jets, right?
Right.
Then he went where he went where for as a backup?
Sam Darnold, after starting with the Jets, two or three years.
Went to the Panthers.
And the Panthers, he was a backup, never got out of that, right?
He had some start.
He showed some talent in 2022 for the Panthers, but ended up, they went a different direction and he went to the 49ers.
Then he goes to the 40, and this is a year ago.
2023, three years ago.
Two years ago.
Three.
Oh, that long ago.
I know, right?
So, so is that when he had his good season?
No, he was a backup.
Okay.
What is the experience?
Show me when he had his good season.
That's right.
2024.
So, which is a year ago in football terms.
Yeah, 2024.
So last season, 2020, he won 14 games.
Yeah.
Which is fabulous.
He's one of the first quarterbacks since Brady to win 14 games, two in a row.
He won 14 games this year.
Here's the big problem, which as a Yankee fan, I am extraordinarily sensitive about.
I know players who are great players and can perform under pressure and players who are not great players, like Billy Martin, who can be MVPs in a playoff.
Now, tell me his playoff performance in 2024.
0-2, right?
Well, no.
One loss in the playoffs, but if he lost two in a row, that must have meant they lost the well, no, tell me.
In the playoff game, they lost 27-9 to the LA Rams.
Yeah, and he was terrible, right?
Well, I mean, 25 for 40, 25 for 40 with a touchdown and one interception.
I mean, he was sacked nine times.
So you had a LA Rams defensive line, if you remember, was very good that year.
So he failed in that one.
Yes, but did he lose another game too, or did they just have one playoff?
He was lost to the Lions going into the playoffs.
Okay, what last game of the regular season?
Yeah, didn't he fall apart on that one?
He had a poor performance, yes.
Yeah.
So he fell apart in the last two games of the season under pressure.
Depending on how much you assigned, how much blame you assigned to an offensive line that allowed him to get sacked nine times.
Okay.
How do we do that?
So I will tell you that in the playoff in which Eli Manning beat the Patriots, he was sacked seven times.
Okay.
And he won the playoffs.
So who do you go with?
The guy that just took you 14 and three with a lot of strong performances?
I would rather.
I'm going to give you my thinking.
I'm going to give it to you at the end.
I would like to go.
I would like to go against Seattle.
With the Patriots.
You're going to pick the paper.
And I would like to go for the Patriots.
However, if I go just on quarterbacks, I got to look at the rest of the team.
I think the chance is that Darnold will perform more consistently than the younger guy, even though he had this up and down, up and down, up and down.
There's an awful lot of history there.
And that makes a lot.
It means a lot when you get into a tough game like that, all that history.
So I think on the quarterback level, it's a slight edge for Seattle.
Yeah.
Now, tell me if you disagree, because we'll move on to other parts of it.
Yeah, I'll have to do more.
Admittedly, I have to do more reading.
I mean, because we got to look at their pass receivers, right?
Right.
We got to look at their offensive.
Because they can bail them out.
Let's face it.
The pass receivers can make a quarterback look good.
Right.
Right.
And finally, there's nothing more important than the Lions.
Right.
Who has the better defense?
Who has the better offense?
Who protects the quarterback better?
Right.
How many sacks have there as each?
See if we can get statistic or statistics like how many sacks on the quarterback, no matter who the quarterback is on either team.
Put a full briefing together for tomorrow when we do our full coverage.
Who protects the quarterback better?
Right.
Yeah.
Well, look, who runs better?
Right.
These are important.
When the quarterback's in trouble, who has a better chance of giving the ball to a running back and gaining five yards or six yards or seven yards and not getting stuffed behind the line of scrimmage?
Right.
That's all very important, especially in the middle.
Unless, I mean, these Super Bowls go a couple of ways, right?
Some of them just become blowouts.
And one never knows how representative a Super Bowl that is.
That could be that one team was just much greater than the other.
Sometimes the case.
Or often one team was just, it just all worked for them and it didn't work for the other.
And it got so far past what you could do about it.
You couldn't.
And it really doesn't reflect the difference between the two teams.
Single games honestly never give you a full representation of the worth of either team.
Sometimes they do.
Sometimes they don't.
They can't be relied on.
So this is why a Super Bowl is both really exciting and extremely unfair.
To say this is the better team for sure between two teams that have competed 14, 15, 18 times.
It's just not right with one game.
I'll give you an example.
The two games in which I'm the most proud of when the Giants beat the Patriots, when they were undefeated once and when they were like nobody could beat them, they beat them by four points and three points.
They could have lost those games.
Any game you win by three or four, don't go around acting like you're the champion of the world for sure.
One little mistake, one extra call for holding could change the whole effing game.
You got to win by seven or ten.
So it's a real win.
It might be fun to get a series going, right?
Wouldn't it be a good thing?
It would be abusive.
I'm going to tell you something before the Patriots had their first blowout, up until the time the Giants beat them the second time, Patriots had never win a game by more than four.
All their wins were three and four.
Some dynasty, the dynasty could have lost all those games.
Right.
Or an empire, an umpire calling a hold.
I'm not saying they did.
I'm just telling you, a three or four point game doesn't tell you who the better team is.
You know who taught me that?
Somebody, not me, I'm not a sports expert.
Somebody taught me that.
Joe Torrey about baseball.
Joe Torrey told me, you know, the World Series we won?
It's a play here, a play there, a play here.
We could have won three more.
Play here, play there, play here, play there.
We didn't get there.
He said it isn't.
Yes.
What it shows you that we won four in a row.
We remained seven.
We're a very competitive team.
Right.
We could have lost all of them.
We could have won all of them.
The final one usually is so close and so built on calls, bad calls, good calls, little accidents that occur that it doesn't really tell you.
What tells you something, he says, is how often you get there.
If you're a team that's producing for your fans playoff competition teams over and over and over again, you better be in love with your management.
Right.
Because that's what they can do.
They can push a little further and produce a winner.
Maybe something could go wrong.
Giants were on their way to winning one year, eight, nine, and oh, and Plexigo Burroughs shot himself in the foot by buying Super Bowl.
Because that was the guy, and he couldn't change it by the ninth or tenth game of the season.
That was the guy that Eli looked to when he had to in the end zone.
Giants' Red Zone Dilemma 00:07:54
And nobody could get up as high as Plexico.
When he really had to, and this is when the Giants had trouble in the red zone, he didn't have to worry about anything.
He just took big old Plexigo, stuck him in the back of the end zone, put it up toward the, put it up toward the flag, and Plexigo went and got it.
Then Plexico went to a restaurant in Manhattan 9-0, or 10-0, or 10-1.
And he shot himself in the foot.
And the mayor of New York said he's got to be held accountable for carrying an unlicensed weapon in Manhattan.
Bloomer.
So let's face it: here are the extraneous circumstances for him argued in his favor as a defense lawyer.
Plexico had a licensed weapon.
He didn't buy it illegally.
He got a properly licensed weapon in Florida, and he fell in none of the criteria that would deprive you of a weapon.
He mistakenly carried that license without realizing he had to get another license in New Jersey to his home in New Jersey, where he, I guess, technically, I'm not sure this violated the law of New Jersey by not re-upping the license.
He did once re-up the license in Florida.
So he had the license twice authorized.
Now he comes into New York on a night he actually didn't want to go out playing around with his club with his teammates to go to a club.
As far as we know, not on drugs, not doing anything wrong.
A little unhappy about being there.
I didn't want to be there, but his wife or girlfriend wanted to go.
And he's there with his pals.
And they ask him about a gun.
You got a gun.
You got to give it in.
Oh, yeah, yeah, I got one.
Gets it out and goes, boom, shoots himself in the foot, shot himself in the foot.
Big deal.
they arrest him.
And the mayor at the time, you realize this is not me, of course, says this is horrible.
Everyone in New York has to go to jail for one year for illegally possessing a gun in Manhattan.
And he puts him in jail for nine months.
And the Giants lose the Super Bowl, which I guarantee you they would have won because they didn't have that.
He was the, he and Manning were the two intangibles of the team because Manning could find him in the end zone no matter why.
Three men could be on him.
He was bigger and stronger.
And really, of course, Eli Manning is one of the greatest quarterbacks ever.
But even you, if you are a decent athlete, might have been able to put the ball up high enough so he could catch it.
I don't know if you ever watched Plexico in his best years with the Steelers, but that guy was unreal.
Four people on him.
Take the ball.
Or the winning touchdown in the first Super Bowl against the Patriots.
Two guys on him, grabbing all arms.
He lifts one guy up with an arm and takes the ball.
Injured out.
And the mayor announces the next morning as I wake up finding out about it.
Plexiglet Burroughs must be made an example by spending one year in jail like everyone else.
First of all, everyone else didn't spend one year in jail.
Mike really didn't know the criminal justice system.
They just told it to him.
To I'd have made a little exception for football for my team.
He could go after.
Real question on my mind that morning was, can he recover?
I knew they had enough wins to get, they got to the playoffs that year.
They had enough wins to get in the playoffs.
All they had to do was have him for the Super Bowl two and a half months later.
I was trying to figure out, is this injury manageable until the Super Bowl?
The answer was probably.
But the mayor, and I figured maybe I could talk to the mayor.
I mean, Mike and I were pretty good friends at a time.
I don't know if we are now.
I mean, I still like him.
I don't think he likes me because I like Trump and he's jealous of Trump.
So I was thinking I'll talk to him, but boy, he put himself way out there right away, right away.
I guess he knew he was going to get a lot of pressure.
Sometimes you do that when you get a lot of pressure.
You don't want to take it.
You just say right away, he's going to spend his one year in jail no matter what, starting now.
Bye-bye, Super Bowl.
And Mike's a businessman.
I could have explained him how much money you're giving away.
Mike, I don't know.
Let him do three months after.
Like February, March, and April.
And put him in a place where he can exercise a lot so he can get out in time for, let's face what he did.
So there is in England something we don't have, which would be a great addition to our court system, but we can't do it now because we've got to just have a court system to start with.
We don't have one now.
The court of equity.
The court of equity says if the strict application of the written or judge-made law becomes so irrational that it's unfair or silly, the court of equity, the judges sitting in the court of equity can, by starry decisis, by setting up opinions, new opinions, new analysis, show you how to do mercy.
A great idea, right?
The court of equity.
And it was controlled by the church originally.
And then it was turned over to the chancellor of England.
And for the longest time, it was a separate court.
And in early America, who followed the strict common law, we had, well, in England, they had judges called judges of the king's bench or queen's bench and judges of equity.
Now, the judges of equity, the judges of the king's bench came under the jurisdiction of the king.
The judges of equity came under the jurisdiction of the chancellor.
Now, the chancellor was very powerful.
You'll know some chancellors, Thomas Beckett, Thomas Moore.
These were chancellors.
Those two lost their lives because they wanted to remain Catholic.
But it did develop a whole area where you can take the irrational consequences of a very, very harsh law that nobody ever contemplated being that.
License Troubles 00:03:02
Like I said, you have to have a license in New York or you go to jail for one year.
But suppose the damage you do is you have a license, but you don't realize that you have to have it in New York, because nobody told you you have to have it in New York.
And the damage you do is you shoot your own foot.
Does that make sense to punish a guy for that?
I'm sorry, it does not.
And it tells you what's wrong with liberals like Mike Bloomberg, who cost us the Super Bowl, for which New Yorkers should not forgive him, even though he did a great job as mayor.
But that was the beginning of Mike going lefty, wacko, non-human, silly.
The guy has a license in New Jersey.
In Florida, he ups it in Florida.
There's no reason why he shouldn't have a license.
He goes to New Jersey, doesn't realize he's got to get one in New Jersey and New York.
I don't think he got one in New Jersey.
But even if he had gotten one in New Jersey, that wouldn't be enough.
He'd have to have one in New York.
He is against it, against his will or with some degree of pressure going to a, which he didn't do a lot, going to a nightclub in New York where there was certain amount of danger for famous people.
So he decides either against his own better judgment or possibly against his wife's better judgment, he decides to take his registered license with him.
Bring his license gun with him.
He puts it here.
They challenge him for the gun, which he gives up.
He doesn't, he doesn't say, I don't have a gun.
So here's my gun.
He pulls it out.
And as he pulls it out, he shoots himself in the foot.
That's the crime.
So it's a record.
This is a, not a crime of violence, right?
There's a record-keeping crime with extenuating circumstances with a little put, sorry, Mike, who has, I mean, he like isn't in the man's world, like in the Super Bowl world.
And then after that, Mike becomes like an unbelievable left-wing maniac supporting causes like the green scam.
And he's a smart guy, and he was a good mayor.
What happened to him?
I don't know.
He probably says the same thing about me.
But I'm right and he's wrong.
You know why?
So Help Us, Please 00:05:28
And maybe history will be fair about this.
He fed off what I did.
I did all the tough stuff.
He couldn't have done it.
That decision alone tells you he wasn't tough enough mentally or together about himself enough to do it.
I would never have said that earlier, but he's gone so far on the other side, misleading America that you got to check him a little.
I mean, and he's got a lot of money, so he influences a lot.
Money can like turn people's logic into greed.
So I think we've used up our good graces with all of our wonderful people because we really have gone over.
There is a lot more to cover.
Is there anything special you would like me to cover before I sign off for the night and lead into our last show of the weekend before the weekend on Saturday?
On Friday, we'll have our last show.
We'll have a little Super Bowl coverage on that.
Maybe we'll have a guest or two to do a little bit of guessing.
I am going to give a prize to whoever wins here.
All right.
So I'm going to create some real competition.
I'm going to give a pad, a special, you know, remarkable kind of pad to the one who wins.
Like an iPad.
No, it's not an iPad.
It's a pad in which you make notes.
I used it today, this morning, when I got up and listened to the president's press conference.
It was very, very valuable.
Oh, and Saturday morning, we're going to do a special.
Even though it's ridiculous, because Saturday's going to be a tough day for us, they know that.
Well, let's get signed off so we can start preparing for that.
I don't think I have anything else for tonight.
Okay.
So here we go.
We got everything.
We're going to pray for the people of Iran.
We're going to pray for the people of Israel.
We're going to pray for the people of Ukraine.
We're going to pray for the people of the United States.
And we're going to pray for the president of the United States who prayed for himself this morning.
We want to make sure that whatever he said that the liberal press is trying to make, God, you just appreciated the fact that he prayed, right?
And these other guys, here's the difference.
He may have said a few things, yeah, yeah, but they're against prayer.
The ones criticizing him, dear God, are against prayer.
He may not be perfect on prayer, but he prays.
These guys, they think they're smarter than God, like Marx.
We don't.
We're all, you're smarter.
You're our God.
We make mistakes.
We sin.
That's why you sent Jesus to help us.
There's no question he has to help Donald Trump.
He has to help Rudy Giuliani.
He has to help all of us.
But we believe in you.
So help us, please, and guide him.
He's really been a great 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.
We're able to talk.
We're able to analyze.
