The Rudy Giuliani Show: Wednesday, February 25, 2026
The Rudy Giuliani Show dissects President Trump’s State of the Union, where market sentiment (52-53% U.S. investors) replaced polls to gauge success, touting economic wins like gasoline dropping from $6 to $2.20/gallon, 56% fewer fentanyl deaths, and $18T GDP growth vs. Biden’s $1T. Patriotic displays—from Purple Hearts to a 100-year-old Medal of Honor recipient—clashed with flag-burning protesters like Abigail Spanberger, framed as Marxist threats to parental rights. The episode ties electoral victories to anti-family policies, warning Iran’s leadership risks global instability while previewing Congressman Tim Burkitt’s critique. [Automatically generated summary]
Getting ready to throw on anybody who messes around.
There will be order in this broadcast.
I'm being very careful because I can break with this thing, babes.
See, this is intended should you get into a one-on-one.
You know, this was given to me for being the keynote speaker at the 2004 Republican National Convention at the Greatest Arena in Sports.
Madison Square Garden, of course, right?
The garden.
There we go.
So I'm going to use it as sort of a prop here to hold things up.
It helps.
Just like that.
So last night was the state of the union.
And I always, since I consider polls extraordinarily, extraordinarily deceptive, and I'm not sure I even looked at polls on this one, nor did I see any.
Maybe they didn't do any.
I haven't either.
I think since 52, 53% of the American people are invested in the market, since a poll at best can pollution of the American people.
I think the market is a good test of did it accomplish its purpose.
And let me start by telling you: having participated in State of the Union speeches, they have all kinds of subparts to them, but they have an overall purpose.
So what was the overall purpose of that?
I'm going to say it seemed to me on reflection, and having gone over it, you could define it into two purposes.
To make the American people understand that things are more affordable now than they were a year or two ago.
In general, not in every situation, but in many.
In some, it's quite dramatic.
In some, it's modest.
In others, there are increases.
There are no Unexplained dramatic increases caused by a weak economy.
They just don't exist.
Now, all that theory is there.
All that statistical support is there.
What I'm telling you is objectively the case.
But the American people don't feel it because they're being outmaneuvered in terms of messaging.
Now, when you say that, I have to say to all my Republican friends who probably over the last three weeks and getting ready for this State of the Union speech and thinking that I was still with the president and really could write it, which I couldn't.
I mean, I could give a few pieces of advice.
All they kept telling me was the messaging has to be better.
The messaging, his people are bad on messaging.
The other people are better on messaging.
Could I please give you a perspective?
I've given you many, many times, and I hope you carry this with you, not to excuse us in any way, but to understand better.
It is much easier to message for a Democrat than a Republican, like night and day.
Now, why is that?
You know why it is.
You've actually figured it out the minute I said it, right?
You actually, you got it.
Boom, like that.
They got the whole media on their side.
And they've got the prevalent media on their side.
And they've got the media that comes on and immediately opines.
Now, it's a little different.
Used to be they had all of it.
Now we're going through a complex change, fascinating one for us to examine independently.
And that is there's us.
By us, I don't mean just America's Mayor Live or the Rudy Giuliani show on Lindell TV or Mike or Dr. Maria or all of the other terrific people on Lindell TV or the equally terrific people on so many other networks like ours.
Some good, some bad, not as good as us, but some very comparable.
And people get their news from them.
And they happen to be almost as disproportionately what we would call conservative, right-wing, MAGA, or balanced, but balanced to the right.
America used to be considered a centrist country balanced a little bit to the right.
Anybody in that category is probably saying about the speech last night, some kind of valid analysis and even critique of it.
People on the left, it's not even worth listening to them, except to know the propaganda that's being fed to 40% of the American people who will just buy it.
I don't believe 50% buy it.
I think 40% buy it.
50% can be talked, that extra 10% can be talked out of it.
Here's what the speech was intended to do.
And a State of the Union speech has a purpose.
Its legal purpose is to comply with the Constitution of the United States requirements that the President of the United States, on an annual basis, report to Congress on the state of the Union, which is why you always find in the speech, sometimes at the very beginning, sometimes part of the way in, as the president said last night in one phrase, the state of the union is strong.
That's almost constitutional.
That is an almost constitutional required.
He doesn't have to, I don't think he has to give it a grade, but the report on the state of the union is constitutionally required.
Beyond that, he's got a lot of leeway.
So, here's what I thought he was trying to do.
First, he was trying to take his accomplishments and instead of doing what he does sometimes at a rally and sort of list them and show them and talk.
They all were very disappointed.
This was actually a great speech.
And they were intended to take those accomplishments and make them relevant to answer the question: Are things more or less expensive now?
Which is after all what we mean by affordability.
And I do think that the slogan affordability has passed on and is now a thing of history.
But I do think the concentration on are we spending too much money?
Are we having a hard time financially and economically?
I think that's a very, very big issue.
And the only way people are going to come to the view that he's doing a very positive job there is to see feel it themselves and then not to be distracted from it with spin and emotion and other things.
That's what he tried to do.
So he would point out that the price of gasoline, and he went on with several different prices, including some extraordinary prices for gasoline.
But he explained how we got there.
Very often in his rallies, he explains how we got there and doesn't necessarily convert it into three or four or five examples in particular places.
Gasoline is $2.25 here and $2.10 there.
And it's below $2 actually when I stopped here.
That's the messaging part that was critical to this speech.
He wants people to hear that.
And the next time they go to the gas station to fill their tank, and I had just filled my tank that day, he wants them to think of him.
I did it in reverse.
I filled the tank that day and the day before another car.
And in both cases, without even thinking of who I am, what I am, and commenting it up, I said, is that all Ted?
Ted actually told me the price.
And I said, Camp P, did you fill the whole thing?
Right?
Right.
Yeah.
I mean, it's like half.
I'm sure it's not half, but it seems like it's half.
It seems like it.
Same way when they go up.
Sometimes it'll go up like 20%.
It'll seem like it's double.
Yep.
Exactly.
So what he's got to get going is the focus on its going down.
The minute that happens, it becomes universal.
So that was part one.
And there are a group of examples of that.
And we'll review some, review others, talk about them, whatever.
Second part of it was what I would call the vision part.
Get your eyes off the ground and start looking toward the heavens.
I'm guided by that very, very often.
It was what guided me through September 11.
I had to get people to, yes, focus on what had to be done.
Yes, find time and grieve in the way they grieve and give them the room for it.
But I had to also minimize and have it happen as quickly as possible, the looking up process, meaning the future.
Yes, there's a future.
And what is it?
And here's where a leader is so important.
Leaders become leaders because they can map out a future.
You follow people who say in a military, we're going to take that hill.
Not somebody who says, I don't know.
What do you think?
What do you think, Ted?
You think we could take that hill?
You think Jack and John, is he fast enough to go?
I don't know.
I'm not sure.
Maybe we should wait a little.
Maybe we should go.
Maybe we should.
Then you go look for the guy that says, we got that hill.
We're going to take it.
And baby, follow me.
And you go.
Now, that's what he also did.
That's what he also did last night.
Someone described a speech, and I would say it's worthy of this praise.
It was a speech that could be described as turnaround for the ages.
Yes, it was that good.
It had very little weakness, if any.
It was a long speech.
It never ever got boring.
Shall we play?
Oh, also, the lifting up of the eyes included the pride.
So you say, why all those heroes and why all that?
To instill your pride that has been beaten into the ground by the Biden, who seem to hate America in their approach to things.
They're negative.
They hate America.
They seem to subscribe to Marxism more than they do capitalism.
They seem to subscribe to atheistic communism more than Judeo-Christianity.
The things I'm talking about, Judeo-Christianity, democracy all have futures.
Communism is a nihilistic philosophy.
It leads to destruction and death.
Marx was probably a technically insane man, certainly a Satanist.
So you wonder why are the Democrats so negative about anything?
Because they were taught to be in college and then reinforced by the ones who don't stand.
So let's listen to, Ted, you take us through what you got there.
When I last spoke in this chamber 12 months ago, I had just inherited a nation in crisis with a stagnant economy, inflation at record levels, a wide open border, horrendous recruitment for military and police, rampant crime at home, and wars and chaos all over the world.
But tonight, after just one year, I can say with dignity and pride that we have achieved a transformation like no one has ever seen before and a turnaround for the ages.
It is indeed a turn around for the ages.
Well, that was a very powerful line from the president.
And another, let's play, this is the president introducing the world championship.
This would be the hot medal.
This would be the high point of what we call the uplift part of the one part of the speech is to show you that things are affordable, that things are much better, that your dollar is going to go much further, and that economically you're in good shape, much better shape, and it's getting better.
The second one was to restore your pride in America, your love of America that's been wounded horribly, and most importantly, tying your hope to America.
We're just always losing, but now we're winning too much.
And I say, no, no, no, you're going to win again.
You're going to win big.
You're going to win bigger than ever.
And to prove that point, to prove that point, here with us tonight is a group of winners who just made the entire nation proud.
The men's gold medal Olympic hockey team.
Come on in.
Sit on the stairs.
Well, that was a beautiful, beautiful moment.
The president, I don't know if we're going to have that excerpt, not necessary to have it, but the president goes on to say the Democrats even stood the first time I saw them stand.
But not all of them.
I bet you the true communists didn't stand, Ted.
They're rooting for other teams.
Right.
Well played by the president.
Connor's Quick Reflexes00:11:52
They had him come in by the stodgy, you know, the press area where they can't stand.
Heaven forbid they stand and clap for an American sports.
They left and went to watch it in a room off.
I saw that.
I thought maybe they should let him sit down on the stairs.
You can sit on those stairs.
You can, you're right.
And those guys, you know, those guys are in great shape.
I wouldn't want them to have to stand that long.
You can do that.
I was like, yeah, sit down on the stairs.
Oh, the Congress would have gone nuts if they did that.
What are they going to do?
Throw out the team?
And Johnson's in charge.
That's a good point.
They don't let you sit in those stairs.
They want you in those stairs.
And, you know, if you remember the kids being interviewed, these are really smart kids.
These are not, you know, I hit the ball on the goal.
These are really smart kids.
I heard the older, I think it's the older Katrick brother.
Right.
Now, he's a big Trumpy.
He's a big, he has a long history of supporting Trump and being booed and being treated horribly in California.
And of course, you know, if you've watched him on the ice, these are not guys you treat horribly and get away with it.
They can fight for themselves, the two of them.
The most interesting sequence was, what wasn't it, one where they, in one of the international games, they started three fights at the beginning just to show them they weren't intimidated.
And the two brothers, and the two brothers, the one brother goes in first, the older brother.
Then there's a fight with somebody else.
And then the younger brother gets in a fine.
The other brother really did a job on the other guy.
He got him down.
It was on top of him.
And he comes in and they shake hands.
The two brothers are in the penalty box together.
Probably gave him a chance to catch up.
They're from different teams.
That's funny.
So the president spent considerably less time here, Ted, on if he did it all, how he got cheated out of the prior election.
He spent less time on accomplishments per accomplishment as opposed to accomplishment.
And here's what it means for you.
Accomplishment, it was very disciplined.
Accomplishment, here's what it means for you.
I saw there too, some campaign commercials where you could just pull right out one minute, boom.
Wow.
Well, do you want to play one of them?
But I do want to spend a little bit of time because there's no question Jack Hughes got great credit.
The Hughes family, Quinn Hughes scored a very important goal also.
He had an older brother on the team as well.
You'll see at one point, Jack, the younger brother there, gets tapped on the head by his older brother up when they're standing there.
He taps him on the head like this.
But his brother, his brother scored an important goal.
So the Quinn family deserves great credit, and Jack has handled it beautifully, particularly in his tributes to the United States, which I love you for, kid.
Love you for.
We need it.
And you're something.
Now, here is the goalie.
Now, I would say Ted would understand this even better than me, but I understand it well.
I've seen great games by goal tennis.
That's as good a game as I ever saw.
Only reason I would say Jim Craig game in 80 might have been better.
Now, Jim Craig gave up two goals in the first quarter, and then he and then maybe at one more, he gave up three goals.
Now, a little different.
He gave it up against men.
He was a boy.
And then he had to do something under tremendous pressure, which is to hold for 10 minutes of one-point lead.
This guy was nearly flawless.
I mean, the one goal that went in, did it look like it was on the goalie or who knows?
Well, in any event, one goal in a championship game is about as good as he's going to get.
And then they were out shooting us by a lot.
Like the old team back in the 80s, we turned to defense and played it brilliantly.
A lot of these guys, like Hughes, is one of the top defensive forwards in the league.
Not one of the top offensive forwards.
He scored the goal, but his real strength is he adds like a third defenseman to the ice.
And when you get a guy like that that can both score and add an extra defenseman, it gives you a lot of options.
So the goal, the goalie, the goalie is a fine, a fine young man.
And let me see.
I know I have his background right here.
I thought I had it in order, but I must have played with him somehow or other.
Here it is.
The goalie, Connor Hellbuck, right?
Is he up on the screen?
Is he on the screen now?
There he is.
Quite a good-looking young man.
This is about as good as it's going to get.
The Connor Hellbuck.
He was spectacular throughout the games.
He racked up a saved percentage of, what do you think it was?
I think I know it.
980?
What?
Is it 900 and something, right?
960.
960.
96%.
He saved his best for last, leaving a lethal Canadian lineup that featured Connor McDavid and Nathan McKennon, two of the best in the NHL, right?
Look frustrated and helpless.
He even provided the secondary assist on Jack Hughes' golden goal.
He passed it off.
That got it off to a great start.
That's pretty rare when a goalie gets an assist unless it's one of those long passes, right?
Right.
And afterwards, Hellbuck's teammates insisted that they saw this coming on the bus to the arena to the quarter with Sweden last week.
Helbuck was so relaxed that he fell asleep.
At that moment, they knew.
Quinn Yu said, the minute he fell asleep, I said, he's ready.
Nothing more for him to think about.
He's got it all.
Now, he's never won a Stanley Cup, never been in the finals.
And that is a critique that sort of bothers him.
However, with that, he was recognized as the one who was at least the best goalie in America in the NHL to have this critical.
Without the goalie, you can't win.
Your goalie goes, bust on you, and you can, what are you going to do?
I mean, it happens occasionally, right?
And he, do we have a couple of him doing a save or two?
Connor?
Let's play him getting the Medal of Freedom first, and then we'll.
Well, the president gave him the Medal of Freedom, and it was almost voted on.
I guess he didn't want to embarrass or insult or in any way, but the team said they'd be fine with him getting the Medal of Freedom.
And in that, I think they pretty much had decided he was the most valuable player.
Yep.
So that's him getting the award.
And right under that, we have a slow motion video.
That'll be 1.12.
Great athletes have gotten that.
Very great.
The best.
And I thought he deserved it.
And I did take a vote.
Every single one of them.
I said, I'm not giving it if anybody goes no.
And every single one of them rapidly put up their hand.
So I want to thank you all.
What a special job you did.
What special champions you are.
Thank you very much.
What clutchers are going in?
He got the paddle bush for Canada.
There's Kit Sparter.
Carter touched the middle.
Tades had a one-open goal.
Put it through the priest.
Let's take a look.
Carter looks for Tades on the backside.
What Pluto is going in?
He got the paddle bush.
Wow.
Incredible.
Unbelievable.
He did that behind his back, backhanded.
If I'm correct, isn't he doing it behind his back, backhanded?
Wow.
Right here.
Oh, right there.
That should have been in the net.
How did that not?
Wow.
He just got a piece of it.
That guy got past him.
His defenseman's too late.
See the defenseman coming on?
Is that a defenseman or is that another Canadian?
That's two Canadians.
So if he had gotten his hands on the streets, watch the puck.
He'd have put it right.
And then he got his stick right there.
And it would have been a goal if his stick wasn't.
No, that was an American coming in.
That was a defenseman, but a little late.
Watch the goalie stick.
Watch Connor's stick right here.
That saved it right there.
That was a goal.
And because Connor had a stick there, you know, a lot different going in.
I think this is right, but you have to correct me.
This is logic rather than knowledge.
Wouldn't stick handling be the hardest way to stop a goal?
I mean, you stop it with your body, that's one thing, but to stop it with the stick.
Exactly.
Yeah, well, that's the last resort.
Yeah.
Wow.
Yeah, literally, I would say 80, 90% of the times the guy scores that right.
Oh, yeah.
Yes.
He's just faster.
He's just faster than the guy on him.
His reflexes were that much faster than the guy on him.
Impeccable.
So very well, very well deserved.
So Al Green got himself thrown out right at the beginning, which is good.
He didn't want to be there.
He probably was going someplace to get something else.
I won't say what it was, which would be in keeping with him.
He immediately went right to the ones that are going to catch you like this, right?
Fentanyl Rate Down 56%00:06:16
Fentanyl rate down by 56%.
Now, you've seen on television so many people who have lost loved ones, friends to fentanyl because of the Biden-Fentanyl invasion that Biden allowed.
This has been a problem for America for a bit.
It had never been a crisis.
It was a crisis for four years when we had no president.
It wasn't a crisis even under the last Democratic president.
It was a crisis under Biden because he had open borders.
And you could bring in any piece of crap you wanted and no problem.
And fentanyl is a piece of crap from the point of view of what it does to us.
But from the point of view of money, it's gold.
And he also, I think, got our attention right away by saying the murder rate is the lowest in the history of the United States.
Well, let's.
Core inflation down by 1.7.
Gasoline, which had been up to almost $6 a gallon, is averaging out right now at $220.
But you can get plenty of gasoline down around $210, $209, $208.
And you can get some gasoline below $2.
Mortgage rates are down five grand.
The market, since Trump has been in office, has had 53 records.
We're going to pretty soon have a record for low inflation.
Biden set a record for high inflation.
We have a record for the lowest amount of murder.
Biden had a record for the most amount of murder in several cities like in Democrat cities.
Philadelphia had more murders than ever before in its history.
Minneapolis had more murders than any other city.
Rochester, New York had more murders than in history.
St. Louis, Illinois had more murders than everyone I'm mentioning to you is a Biden-led Democrat, left-wing, defund the police, let criminals out of jail, do away with bail.
Biden, if you believe his statistics, brought in a net $1 trillion to our economy.
Trump has brought in $18 trillion so far.
I mean, I don't know.
He was very happy to point out we just sold 80 barrels of our oil from Venezuela.
And then he got to the state of the union is strong.
And then he got to the part, then he got to the part of how it affects you.
First thing he pointed out was that he looked at the Supreme Court, didn't say anything nasty, right?
No.
That I can recall.
Everybody thought he was going to rip them apart, embarrassed them.
A couple didn't show up, right?
Right.
Only thing he said to make them feel useless is, well, it looks like I'm going to collect more now, which actually isn't quite true, but he is going to collect equivalent.
And that every country so far has said they're not going to renegotiate, which means, boys, here's what he would have said if it was the old chum.
It didn't mean shit.
You spent all that time doing all your posturing and wondering when you're going to be able to go to Washington cocktail parties and ain't going to do anything.
I'm going to charge the same amount or more.
And I have three other ways to do it.
And let's see what you can do with that.
but you got a long way to go.
Eggs are down 66% in case you'd like to know.
Beef isn't down yet, but it's coming down.
Energy is coming down.
Healthcare costs caused by the Unaffordable Care Act are still up, but they're beginning to come down.
And there are, as you know, a number of plans, including the most favored nation drug plan, so that you can get your narcotics at the lowest rate available.
So these are the things that were the practical, these are the things that I would call the practical things about the speech.
Then you can go to the more inspirational parts of the speech.
And they were intertwined quite a bit.
It isn't as if he had like section one, statistics, section two, how they apply to you.
Section three, let's be proud of America.
Section four, let's look toward the future.
It was interspersed quite beautifully.
And to keep your interest all throughout the speech, all four themes working their way in like a piece of music, contrapunnel piece of music, four themes.
He'd go from one to the other.
They fit together to tell the story.
And he is blessed by God with a great ability to speak and to speak in a way that's accessible to people.
So we're going to take a short break and we'll continue on this and we'll get Ted's view of it.
He was intently making notes and writing and I know has a couple of views of his own on this.
Want to hear everybody's views.
We'll be right back.

Wives and Wisdom00:05:05
These sanctuary cities that protect the criminals and enact serious penalties for public officials who block the removal of criminal aliens, in many cases drug lords, murderers all over our country.
They're blocking the removal of these people out of our country.
and you should be ashamed of yourself.
Wouldn't you love to have them around?
Gosh, you know, I had a good friend, he's passed, that was a very, very fine man.
He was a religious Muslim, and he was a very distinguished citizen in Dubai.
I don't remember if he was a member of the government, but he was very, very close to the then head of Dubai.
I think he had retired from government.
He was sort of the wise old man of Dubai.
And he took me to dinner a couple of times at his house, different places.
And we went for rides.
And I used to quiz him about the history of Dubai because it was quite extensive.
And he used to say to me, you know, I tell my sons they shouldn't do what I did and marry, I can't remember if they can marry three or four.
I think three is usual, but they can, I think they can go to four.
But he said, you shouldn't marry three all at once.
It's really very, very tough.
They never get along.
They're always fighting with each other.
And they're constantly taking you into the Sharia courts.
And he said, you know, women are treated horribly here, but the one place where it gets evened up to a large extent, people don't believe this, is a lot of the Sharia judges, particularly now, tend to be pro-women because I guess they're ashamed and embarrassed at it.
So anti-women elsewhere.
So you get killed in the Sharia court.
Let's say one of your wives just got a master's degree.
So you get her a beautiful new Mercedes convertible.
The other wives have beautiful cars, but they don't have a convertible.
They're entitled to a Mercedes convertible.
The judges will say, you got to get exactly the same things for everyone.
You can't do equivalent value.
Or if you do equivalent value, you spend about a month in court fighting over it.
That's amazing.
He said, you know, so I always tell my sons, and when we have dinner, I'm going to say it, you should follow the pattern that happens more often in the West now, Mr. Giuliati being an example.
If you're going to have three wives, have them at different times.
I was so embarrassed.
Oh, come on.
I started blushing.
I'm not proud of that.
It's something I consider to be something that I should have gotten right in my life, which I didn't.
Or how about that I did wrong?
I mean, sinful wrong.
So, and I've confessed it, and I'm over it.
And I wish I had had the wisdom earlier.
But in any event, put that aside, it was very funny.
He said, and then he said to me, I would like you just to think, and you do the same thing if you're in this position.
If you had all three wives at the same time, what would happen?
I was up all night thinking about that.
Well, that's what we go through.
So I told my sons, if you want to have three wives, please do it the Western way.
Have one, get divorced.
Have two, get, and just sort of parcel your money out.
Realize you're not going to be worth as much at the end as you were at the beginning, but it's worth it for happiness.
And otherwise, you know, it's going to happen all your life.
You're going to be, you know, wife number one gets this.
Wife number two wants exactly the same thing.
Wife number three says you're spending more time with wife number one.
Well, at one particular time in your life, maybe wife number one is the more intelligent one and the one you spend more time talking about your business.
So you're having trouble in business, so you spend more time with her.
Wife number two really loves sports.
It's championship season.
You spend more time with wife number two.
And wife number three loves to fix up the home, loves the garden.
And now you're in the mood for home and guard.
So that's the way it happens very often.
But then the women interpreted it in.
And even if they're best friends, which can often be the case or not, it doesn't matter very much.
They're still going to go after you.
The best friends will go after you in a more conniving way.
And the enemies will go after you directly.
Boom.
So Muhammad did not have a good idea here, according to this great old Muslim.
Best Friends, Conniving Enemies00:12:26
The president then gave out a purple heart, one posthumously, and one to the partner.
I think it was Sarah and Andrew.
He also gave out two Congressional Medals of Honor.
Do you remember that ever happening?
No.
A Congressional Medal of Honor at a.
There we go.
So, Andrew, while you're up, now I'm going to ask a highly respected General James Seward to present Staff Sergeant Andrew Wolfe and the great family of Sarah Beckstrom with the award created by our late great president, George Washington himself.
It's called the Purple Heart.
That's beautiful to see that.
He also gave Sarah Andrew's partner, who died in that mission, a purple heart posthumously to a beautiful mother who was there.
And he gave out another Congressional Medal of Honor.
Now, think about it, how beautifully that was done.
That took you from a young generation to very old.
I think one is 100 years old.
That's American patriotism, then, now, and always, isn't it?
And isn't that a necessary antidote to the people burning the flag and yelling horrible things about America and calling everybody a Nazi and thinking giving us the impression that the way That very rude woman who apparently was married to her brother, interrupting like she was a bad child in school.
And the other fat face next to her who avoids interrupting.
She avoids interrupting.
Now, she's quite a look at that one on the right there.
She's kind of, you know, somebody should tell her the red lipstick really doesn't help.
But in any event, she remains, I actually might have said something nice about her, like she at least remained gentlewomanly until, if you want to show that, can we show that?
Can we watch the two anti-American terrorist supporters act like Animales?
Yeah, look at that.
This is in Congress.
This is not at the school.
This is not at, there you go.
There she goes.
Oh, boy, she's got a bigger mouth, too.
Did you see that mouse?
Yeah.
Whoa.
As a great American once said to me in suggesting some of the reasons to excuse Bill Clinton for some of his indiscretions, he said, You never woke up in the morning next to Hillary Clinton.
I shouldn't have said that, right?
That's fine.
And I'm not going to get, I'm not going to get you can torture.
The Mueller people can torture me.
I will not give up the name.
He's my good friend.
I won't give up his name.
He may come forward because I think he's very proud of the line because it's such a good one, and he uses it a lot.
And there are others out there who have heard the same line.
And it sticks with you because it's one of those great, timeless, absolutely true lines.
The Democrats pick one of their real beauties to do the response.
I mean, she's right out of central casting for bitter, angry, liberal, left-wing fool, idiot who has already destroyed Virginia in a while, has turned it into a state where your child is property of Abigail Spanberger.
She's in charge of your children, not you.
This is the one where the prior Democrat governor was opining that after a child is born, if a late-term abortion is botched and you haven't succeeded in killing the child before it comes out of the womb, and the mother is asleep and therefore can't make a choice, you put the kid in some place, keep the kid alive, and then when the mother comes out of unconsciousness,
the mother and the doctor will decide what happens to the kid.
Whoa, governor, what are the choices?
Do everything you can to make sure the kid lives.
What's the other choice?
Murdering a human being.
That's her, isn't it?
Who's that?
That's her back in 2021.
And the reason for that is it raining?
That might have been January 6th.
Remember, some of the Democrats hid.
I have to.
I don't care.
I'm going to laugh about it because it's absurd.
They hid in the middle of the day.
So she's.
That was her during January 6th or 20th.
She's a stupid, immature, total idiot that has already, has already done tremendous.
I mean, I've just been looking at it quickly because I'm paying so much attention to New York, but she's doing equivalent damage in the thing about Mondani, I don't respect him for it because of what he stands for, but Mondani tells you who he is.
Now, it doesn't help me if he murders me, you know, if I get murdered because of it.
So let's not get too, oh, he tells us who he is.
The only reason he tells us who he is should be important.
New Yorkers should have been smart enough not to vote for him.
Whereas Virginians get a little break because she hid who she was.
But I would be even a bigger hero in New York if I could solve the problem and figure out why year after year after year after year.
And if I were going to do this, I would study New York and Chicago because they suffer from the same whatever this is.
Let me illustrate it to you in Chicago, not because New York isn't as bad or worse, but only because it's a little easier to illustrate.
Chicago has had now 65 years in a row of Democrat mayors.
And weekends are a crapshoot.
And black people are going to die seven to eight out of 10.
And a lot of the mayors are black.
And they apparently don't give a damn.
Nor do the congressmen who represent the area or and they just keep voting Democrat and Democrat and Democrat.
And the city goes down and it goes down and it goes down and it goes down.
New York has that same pattern.
New York gets away with it a little bit better because occasionally, and it really is occasionally, they elect an exception.
So when I was elected in 1993, I was the third exception in 100, in the century.
And the last one, Bloomberg was elected in the next century.
I also was rather exceptional because in the 19th century, there were 20 of me.
Or in the 20th century, there were three of me, three Republicans.
Only two remain Republicans, who are the two mayors people remember the most, LaGuardia and Giuliani.
The other mayor, Lindsay, became a Democrat and embarrassed himself in the Democratic primary for president.
And Bloomberg, after me, but in the next century, embarrassed himself by becoming a Democrat, spending $100 million and somehow not even registering a percent in the polls, much less in the vote.
So you could virtually say New York and Chicago have lived about 150 years of history without a Republican mayor.
And when you look at their problems, you would say, here's a place that really looks like it's crying out for an active two-party system.
And the people know that.
They're intelligent.
They're well-educated, and they keep voting that way.
Now, I don't know exactly what happened in Virginia when they elected, when they had their last election, they kind of blew it over children, right?
They blew it when the issue of whether parents could object to the curriculum or curricula given to their children is object, could they object to it?
And the answer from the communist, Marxist, Apparatchik, bureaucrat school board was no.
No, penance, alt.
And the governor candidate then was Mr. Lincoln Bedroom McAuliffe.
The man who made his fortune selling the Lincoln bedroom, in a debate, defended that, basically saying, what the hell do parents know about education?
Kind of like Jackson Lee, who said, I don't know what a man or woman is, I'm not a biologist.
Immediately, Junckin, whose campaign was competitive, but would you say it was floundering or it was behind?
I'd say it was behind more than floundering.
It was always a pretty good campaign.
Yunkin put together a pretty good campaign because there were people who thought he had an outside chance even before this happened.
We didn't because we know Virginia, right?
You and I.
Yeah.
But there were a lot of very good Republicans and very, and who may be smarter than us who thought he had a chance before this.
The minute I heard the words, the minute I heard that guy say that, I say, he's going to win this election.
Virginia, they're not going to accept this.
Now, I've made predictions like that and been wrong nowadays as the ground shifts from under me.
But this one I was right on.
And boy, I went right ahead and I pulled out Karl Marx and I got the Communist Manifesto and I got Das Gapital.
And then I got the special book written by Engels, where he points out the very important part of getting control of the children, how important that was.
And then I pointed out how important that was to Stalin and Hitler.
Get the kids at two.
Take them away from the parents.
Break up the family.
Families are as much of an interference with atheistic communism as God.
One could say the two biggest opponents of communism is God and the parents, not the capitalist businessman.
He's an opponent.
She's an opponent.
But the intellectual opponent, the emotional opponent, the opponent that takes you over the top to full dictatorial, atheistic, homicidal communism.
You get rid of God, you get rid of the parents.
Then there's nobody looking out for the best interests of the people except the multi-billion dollar, powerful apparatchiks that run the Communist Party.
And invariably, in a socialist or communist system, the people at the top, because they possess so much power, much more power than in an elected democracy, become corrupt.
It's invariable.
Opponents of Communism00:00:59
It has to happen.
It errors in human nature.
And it's the reason why socialism and communism have failed 27 times, despite the fact that moronic pretend intellectuals run around New York saying, oh, there's another chance under Mamdani.
Well, that's if the whole city doesn't freeze to death.
But we'll be back tomorrow.
We're going to go over now to Ags.
We're going to have Congressman Burkitt on, who's always a delight, about his view on it, including, I'm sure, some very humorous views on it.
Always get that from Tim.
And we'll take a look at what I think now opens the, I think we're past the what I'm saying is after the State of the Union, I think we're going to concentrate on Iran.
Watch out, you murdering creep, satanic bum in charge of Iran.
