America's Mayor Live (905): Artemis II Races Toward Splashdown into the Pacific Ocean Near San Diego
Artemis II successfully splashed down near San Diego, with Colonel Glover piloting the Integrity capsule to a recovery by the USS John P. Murtha despite communication glitches. Mayor Giuliani pivots to politics, defending President Trump's stance on the Strait of Hormuz while condemning Democrats for supporting terrorism. He attacks NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani's administration and Judge Guy Mitchell, arguing the judiciary is corrupt for sentencing Sergeant Eric Duran to nine years for throwing a water cooler while contrasting it with Officer Peter Liang's probation. Giuliani claims police shortages under Commissioner Kathleen Gonzalez canceled major events, ultimately framing these failures as evidence of a rigged Democratic system threatening American freedoms.

Historic Space Return00:14:25
Welcome to America's Mayor Live on an extremely, extremely important and historic evening.
Before the end of this show, with the grace of God, three Americans that have gone further into space than any human beings in the history of the world will return to Earth.
In fact, they are now returning to Earth at speeds that are beyond anything you can imagine.
And they are being piloted to Earth by Colonel Glover under the command of Colonel Weissman with the assistance of Specialists Koch and Hansen.
All soon to be, if not already, legendary American heroes who will be remembered when we say America.
There you see what they can see in San Diego to some extent, I'm pretty sure by now, because just a few minutes ago they entered the Earth's atmosphere, or rather the orbit of the Earth.
And if you see it coming down, do you remember the red lines I was talking to you about?
He's already accomplished that, which is one of the two most dangerous things he had to do.
You can see he's within those lines.
And now, to a certain extent, he'll get assistance from Autopilot.
The trick, he had to get him in there.
Maybe that's what they can see from the earth, unless they have it.
So that's what they're seeing, those people who are in San Diego, even though it's still.
How far out is it in the Pacific?
I didn't have that number.
Well, allegedly at this time, there's still about 150,000 feet in falling.
And as it falls, but as it falls, it's going to lose velocity.
And if you have that in front of you, you can keep it.
I can use you as my expert.
There it is.
You can see it clearly.
Pretty soon, it looks like the parachutes opened.
Am I correct?
Just in.
I think something just came out.
Well, allegedly, the timeline they put out is a little off, which they're usually very precise.
Why did they say the first parachutes opened?
What's called the drogue parachutes deploy about 8 03 p.m., which they're a little off their timeline, which I noticed they were a little off their timeline right now.
They were a minute off.
There they go.
And we're on drogue.
Well, Jesus.
Yeah, they are so good.
It up a little.
Now it's coming back down again.
Those parachutes, those parachutes are not to land it, it's to slow them down.
We're going to.
Pretty soon, see more parachutes come out.
Those are the parachutes that are going to help it land.
Yes, about 6,000 feet, the main parachutes will deploy, and we're expecting Artemis II to splash down the Pacific at 8 07 p.m.
Mayor Giuliani, I want to ask you you were talking about the pilot actually piloting the capsule, and Hensling said that their capsule will perform multiple roles when they were doing re entry.
However, they will not be piloting the capsule.
That Ratagon confirmed that although the crew has been trained and is capable, a computer will be flying it.
But I thought he had to check it carefully.
He had to get it into that spot.
You probably are right.
He had to get it into that spot.
Yeah, you are.
Because you couldn't.
They're coming down there.
Yeah, they're out there.
It looks like the other parachutes now.
This is the final.
Those are the parachutes for landing.
And what time do they land?
The exact time?
807.
It's 805.
Okay.
Well, Ted had a certain superstition about my putting the champagne out.
I think we're a go to.
But I'm going to ask my brilliant co workers would you rather open it when they land or when we know they're safe?
Oh, when they open it or when they land?
Which one, Ted?
They are in communication now with NASA.
I think once it splashes down, we pop the bottom.
May I have that for a second?
Can we hear it?
Good doctor.
Integrity copies.
Integrity copies.
That was good.
That was the first.
For integrity, it's crew sounding Hale and Hardy on board.
God bless them.
Holy macaroni, it got goosebumps.
Do you know it slowed down from in the period of time we've been on?
It slowed down from 25,000 miles per hour, which is unthinkable.
It's going to be pretty soon at 20 miles an hour, like a little old man or a little old lady drives a car.
Yeah, because they would have.
Substantial injuries.
Yeah, were they going to get a ticket from the California State Police for driving to his office?
Kennedy Space Center back on April 1st and a trip around the moon.
Hey, those are good looking.
I'd like to get one of those as a beach.
Can we get one for the beach, Ted?
Yeah.
This way we won't get burned, you know?
Right.
God bless them.
It looks so small.
806.
One more minute.
And they've been very precise.
I have 806.
Look at it.
Things, uh, did you see that little fire or something?
Yeah, you're gonna see, but that's because these are all the things that are slowing it down.
So to land, those are the backburners, you know, okay.
Think like a plane, this is the typical way you land a rocket.
You send those are all shooting off and creating thrust in the back to slow it down and also to guide it.
This, I think, is being done by computer, which they can adjust.
Look at that.
Look at that.
I know.
There's some color photo.
807.
807.
It's 807.
That was the time.
They're a little late.
They're a little late.
Well, it's not 808 yet.
I claim they were late a few minutes ago.
It says 807 here, Ted.
Oh, it's splashdown, man.
It's 807.
Yay!
I'm waiting on the LBR.
Splashdown confirmed at 7 o'clock.
Bless them.
Isn't that great?
Yeah, you think so?
I think so.
I think they're safe.
Yeah, we know there's so Ted.
Why don't we play God Bless America, huh?
Any version.
I had a nice one with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir.
So they don't power down the integrity until 8 22.
What does that mean?
I don't know.
The capsule, they don't power it down.
You've got to put it on.
Pick this one out.
Perfect.
Bullseye splashdown for integrity of our astronauts.
So, the targeted time to extract is 9 06 p.m.
Yeah, but we'll celebrate this.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
No, I just wanted to let you know that they won't be extracted until 9 06, and they won't power down until 8 22.
What does that mean, power down?
Well, they have to have their module so it stays like that.
But they're in the water now.
They're in the water, but they still have power.
And from communications with them, we know they're safe.
Yeah, absolutely.
The unofficial.
Can we get a little sound?
Let's hear it.
Nice and loud.
Oh, man.
Okay.
You tell me when you're ready to play God Bless America.
Well, Mayor, this has been great to experience this with you and Ted.
Yes.
This has been incredible.
Once again, splashdown occurring in the Pacific, southwest of San Diego, at 7 07 and 47 seconds PM.
Integrity Houston, calm check on VLDR.
They're going to power it down according to the schedule at 8 22.
Right.
We have you the same.
We'll meet you over in post landing.
Well, it would have been nice if they would have shown the control room and everybody cheering there.
I'm surprised.
They always do.
Usually you do.
I remember that from.
And that is.
When I was a child.
That is the.
Oh, do you remember?
Oh, my goodness.
You're so young.
I remember it.
The fact that they're in great condition.
The USS John P. Murtha is waiting for them.
The extraction will be at 9 06, as you said.
So it's got five airbags.
That's keeping it upright for the vehicle.
This was a textbook entry, and it sure was down for integrity to the minute.
It's crazy how they can predict it.
It's going to take a little while for them to get to the recovery ship to about within two hours of splashdown.
They'll get to the recovery ship.
The first out is going to be Christina, you'll be first out, ladies first.
The second will be uh Glover.
Colonel Glover, then Colonel, then the Canadian Hanson.
And finally, of course, who's the last?
Who leaves the ship last?
The captain.
The captain, in case it goes down.
You're the last man to, he's the commander and he leaves last.
Commander Wiseman.
You know, one of them, her little daughter is a TikTok sensation.
She was dancing, very happy, proud of her dad.
To monitor the function of the MOOC system.
Isn't that nice?
The airbags are being inflated to maintain a stable one or upright configuration.
And there's a good view from one of the naval helicopters hovering overhead.
Let's see the beginning.
Okay.
Let them all be afraid.
I want to get in the eye.
In a silent prayer, God bless America.
Land and I love.
Stand beside her and guide her through the night with the light from above.
From the mountains to the prairies.
Through the ocean, bright zone.
God's bless America.
My home, sweet.
Reed Wiseman once again.
God's bless America.
And we have five.
Can you take a wide picture, Ted?
The reaction, the recovery teacher.
Can now begin a slow approach to the vehicle.
Mayor, can I have a team?
Aren't you too young?
Let me see your proof.
No one.
To the vehicle.
We have no toxic gases to be concerned about.
So the recovery.
Oh, yes.
But not until we have powered down the spacecraft.
That's expected to take a few more minutes.
Oh, sweet.
Oh.
Ted, can you show us?
Yeah, like a wide shot.
Well, you got to let us know.
Well, no, that would have to stand up.
No, here it is.
Yeah, yeah.
So here's you, Mayor.
It was Dr. Maria.
Yeah, and you go stand with her.
Stand right behind her.
Okay, a little more of Dr. Maria.
Yeah, you can do a little more.
Okay, Dr. Maria, move one this way.
Yeah, that's it.
Live Broadcast Setup00:11:09
Beautiful.
Stand right behind it.
That's okay.
Go ahead.
Oh, you need your champagne?
And it's the real thing.
It's not even fake.
Yeah, no, no, you don't care.
You're okay.
The power down is coming.
So we're toasting.
I've missed two.
And the astronauts, obviously.
To the four.
Extremely brave three Americans and one Canadian, lovers of freedom and liberty.
Brave people.
To our president who envisioned this years ago and revived it.
Otherwise, it would have been scrapped by Obama.
And of course, to the greatest nation on earth and our thankfulness to our God for making us part of it.
We are so humbled to be Americans.
Amen.
God bless America.
Yeah.
My best friends.
Uh, the prop system on integrity.
Can you say again that was uh very weak and broken?
What's bleak and broken now?
We did this good champagne, I don't even know.
This is very good champagne.
We we used French champagne only because they helped us in revolution.
Well, plus, champagne region is where the champagne region is rather pro American.
Yeah, the two champagne regions, yeah.
This, um, yeah.
This is for Lafayette.
Oh, two Lafayette.
We have a lot of parks named after him, including one in Manchester, New Hampshire.
He would be embarrassed of the cowardice of his people.
There's the beacon.
See the linking light there?
Now it looks like he'd like to be out there, like boating.
And get our fishing boats.
They said it's going to take.
About two hours.
Oh, wow.
For them to get on the ship.
Yeah.
They're going to have a smaller boat that comes in and then they swim towards them.
If I remember correctly, at 9 06, they'll be extracted.
It seems it's a very dull picture, but in the very back of the picture, isn't there a structure?
Yes, there's something moving back there.
There is something moving back there.
Where exactly, Ted, is there a way to look on a map that will show us where they are right now if I do it on my iPad?
Check.
Yeah, let me give you your iPad back.
Yeah, just see if there's an interactive map.
If you got it, go ahead.
I am extremely happy.
How are you doing?
Okay, give it to me.
If you can't do it, I'll get it.
We'd like you to command an additional 15 minutes for a total of 30 minute power down delay.
Let's go.
Live.
Map.
Showing.
All right Jackie, we have selected t slash, d plus three zero.
No joy on star radio or satellite of integrity and standby.
We have the master diver on star radio.
Please hold comms.
Hey Lily, excuse me hey Jackie, we just got the master diver on star master diver.
This is very, very obviously Rocky Sea, right?
Rocky ocean.
You do have to have divers.
See, here they come.
So you couldn't have the big ship coming that close.
It would cause too much.
Oh, they're there.
If you are happy with your calm with Master Diver, you can go back to the 15 minute power down.
Okay, stand by.
Yeah, we'll confirm here in a second.
The crew on board Integrity coordinating with the flight control team in Houston.
In Houston, here in Mission Control, on the timing of the power down of the vehicle, which will be the precursor of the recovery teams approaching where they are on a map.
We can go back and forth with Integrity.
We've had a bit of broken capability in establishing a SARSAT or satellite phone communications capability between the crew on board Integrity and the recovery team.
That will get sorted out here shortly.
There's plenty of cooling on board, Integrity, so there's no rush to begin the power down.
They are moving.
Any way we can put this up there, Ted?
Yours?
Yeah.
Concur.
We haven't had anything come through.
Well, no, we don't.
Yeah, it's up.
Up there?
No, no, on the show.
On that, okay.
So here's the interesting thing, Ted.
They're heading to Chile.
Oh.
Hmm?
That much gold, gold, or yeah.
I mean, they're not there now, right?
They're in the water.
Might be looking at uh, maybe their flight path.
I thought they were off San Diego.
This map has to be wrong.
Yeah, no, you're wrong.
It's definitely off San Diego.
Okay.
We'll find another one.
The poll has communication with Integrity, but Integrity does not have any communication with the recovery team.
So, they're trying to figure that out right now.
Explain that again, Doug.
So, there is communication between mission control and integrity, but there's not communication.
There's supposed to be, but they can't get it to work right now between integrity and recovery.
Recovery on the ground.
Recovery in those boats.
I wonder if recovery includes the barge.
We are going to call you.
So, you have really, you have several.
Aspects of recovery.
The USS John P. Murphy, just about two hours away.
And then you have the crew on the ground trying to locate them.
It looks like they're there.
It looks like they're right next to them, doesn't it?
And I suspect it's communication with the boats right outside their capsule.
And you can hear Mission Control trying to problem solve this, asking them what buttons they're pushing.
Divers are going to open the hatch.
Mm hmm.
That's affirmative.
I'm not sure if they'll do it without the communication yet.
Oh, yeah, I would think they want everything perfect before.
There is one of our naval helicopters also going overhead.
822 was the scheduled time that they were to power down integrity.
To have mission control here call the crew on their satellite phone.
This is all part of the coordination for the power down of the vehicle that will.
The extraction isn't going to be until 9 06.
You know, I'm really appreciative of NASA doing this live and letting everybody know how this works and what's happening.
The fact that we can listen in is just remarkable.
Yeah, that's right.
I talked about that on my show, Mayor.
You know, they just went through incredible G force.
You just have to, their bodies have to settle just a little bit.
Their bodies have to settle.
That's right.
Tell me what that means.
Well, you know, the reason why they get tested and they train for so long is because the G force, number one, that is incredible stress on their body.
You have to have a good heart, very, very good heart.
And Houston, please don't reply.
NRD, very weak.
Yeah, they're having trouble.
Master Diver, we can hear, but they cannot hear us.
Yeah, they're having trouble with that communication.
Between that recovery boat right outside or right near the capsule and the capsule itself, called Integrity.
But the body does take quite a bit of shock and pressure.
So they have to get their what's called their sea legs underneath them.
And then there's the fact they did not get out of the capsule, but if they were to land on the moon, that amount of lack of gravity, which they did experience in their capsule as well, that too is a stressor on the body.
Hmm.
So, I do not believe the master diver can go forward until there's communication from the capsule, knowing it is powered down.
And Houston on OE1, is there any chance to tie us into NRD?
So, those orange red would appear to be like buoy balloons.
You got it, Mayor.
That's holding it in place.
Yes.
So it doesn't go up and down.
Roughly in place.
Yes.
And so it doesn't tip upside down.
Oh, that makes sense.
Yeah.
That would not be nice.
Are you very excited?
I'm wicked excited.
That's an expression.
Tell us wicked, wicked excited.
That's a New England thing.
Wicked spot.
Is it a Boston thing, too?
Yeah.
We always say, wicked.
What does it come from?
Salem.
What does it come from?
Salem.
War Crimes Debate00:04:18
And it's not just the administrator who's going to be waiting for them on the big ship.
We are going to report that the president, several times in the last day and a half, has told Iran to stop charging for going through the Strait of Hormuz.
The Strait of Hormuz has never been subject to charges.
The Strait of Hormuz is not Suez, it's not Panama, it was not built.
It was not built by the Iranians.
It's a fact of nature.
And they have absolutely no legal right to charge.
And when we are so fast to accuse Donald Trump of suggesting war crimes, not committing them, suggesting them, when he said, oh, we'll take them out, whatever.
The Iranians have been committing war crimes every single day of this war by destroying water supplies of noncombatant countries, hitting populations that are clearly civilian.
And not a single peep out of Americans who seem to be betraying their country to support a terrorist country.
If they want to raise, if the Democrats want to raise war crimes on America, where is their patriotism about putting it in context and pointing out the serial war crimes over 47 years of the regime of terror and their war crimes right now, repeated every day, sometimes multiple?
In their attacks on Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Qatar, Dubai.
How much more do I have to raise to show you how phony they are?
But the phoniness is extraordinarily offensive to an American because they're phony against the interests of America and in favor of the interests of the world's single largest supporter of terrorism.
They feigned a shock that he would attack their whole idea for the War Powers Act.
Do you know Obama killed 60 to 80 people?
This isn't a war.
Over a period of a year and a half by just dropping bombs on them, he picked them.
He played God and decided if they would live or die.
Four or five were American citizens.
Much less than getting in trouble.
They never even got arrested.
We just found them by satellite and we put a bomb on their head.
And Congress never approved that.
Congress never approved the.
Well, in the case of Biden, he did so little, there was nothing to approve.
What Congress should have done is remove him.
But President Johnson, President Bush won.
Clinton, what about in the Serbian War?
We destroyed entire civilian populations.
We leveled cities of civilians in order to bring them to the bargaining table.
All of that without War Powers Act approval, all of that war crimes.
But we put them on trial for war crimes, not us.
So, pardon me for feeling that these people are now reflexively, me and the Democrat Party, reflexively anti American against the best interests of the United States.
The economic impact of this is obviously felt, but there are some underlying circumstances that indicate that we're gonna be able to sustain this.
Inflation Rate Analysis00:03:26
There's been a spike in energy prices that, of course, is monumental.
It's at the highest level since May of 2024.
Now, again, to our heroes, to our heroes, my crew, to my crew, One more toast to the President of the United States.
Yes.
To the President of the United States of America.
You're here.
Absolutely.
God bless you, Mr. President.
Very nice.
So let me see if I can put in context very quickly the economic effect.
It's at the highest level since May of 2024.
Which.
Was high, but we lived through it.
The inflation rate right now has made a serious jump, but still not.
The jump is a serious one from 2.4% to 3.3%.
3.3%.
When I became mayor of New York, inflation was at 9%.
Okay, okay, okay.
And it's in line with.
The economist's expectations.
Now, they just put out inflation up, highest in so many years, and they don't point out the following, which the American people, all of you who need to be informed, have a right to know.
And in the past, when they were vaguely fair, they would.
What you should understand is this is an episodic increase in it, meaning the underlying inflation rate is described by the report as anemic.
Core inflation rate, the core inflation rate rips out energy and food.
It actually ticked up to just 2.6% from 2.5%.
And it went up less than a percent.
And that shows that this is all caused, the price of food went down.
Basically, everything else other than that connected energy remained stable.
Gasoline went up 21.2%.
It's basically at $100 a barrel.
However, in every other aspect of the economy, we appear to not be in inflation, which tells you when this is over, when this is over, this should straighten out.
Now, you would be surprised to know that the price of food dropped by two-tenths of a percent.
So, for all of the economic harm this is creating, with regard to the most important, the price of food, it's actually a teeny bit less expensive than it was before.
Food Price Drop00:10:28
Let's find out how many people tell you that.
You think you're going to see that on the Communist News Network?
Or I don't even know what the Morbid News Broadcast Company is reporting on that.
There is no question that Hormuz has a major impact, much more than I think a lot of people thought, but in line with what a lot of people thought also.
And I would say that within less than a week, this Hormuz thing will be solved.
And I don't see it solved by agreement.
I don't.
And maybe it's a.
The end that I desire, coloring my interpretation.
But I think it is all but certain that this only gets resolved with additional major military defeats for the regime.
Again, I will repeat on this show something I started my last show with.
I am very serious about this.
There should be scheduled for these four brave heroes a parade.
Up the canyon of heroes like Lindbergh received, like Neil Armstrong received, like John Glenn received twice.
And we could go on and on with the astronauts.
They were great celebrations.
And I will tell you how much, at least in New York, they were beloved.
Maybe it'd be a good thing to have one in a city governed by an admirer of Muslim terrorism and violence.
And an adherent of communism.
Maybe it would be wonderful to have such a patriotic parade.
It'd probably give him a nervous breakdown and he'd have to leave office.
But how do we deny them the same parade that the astronauts got?
Of course, they should have a hero's parade.
And believe me, New York, New York, all the stuff about New York, that goes through Wall Street.
It's controlled by people in Wall Street who throw all the ticker tape.
Which they have to go now buy because they don't use sticker tape anymore.
I guarantee you, I know I've been in about seven of them.
This was 1965.
Yeah, yeah.
You go back and look at the Yankee Parade in '96 or the John Glenn Parade in '98.
Oh, was that?
Or, or, um, I'm gonna tell you, they're not gonna get to disturb it.
Those guys in Wall Street aren't going to let them in.
If the police would be just a little tolerant of the necessity to defend yourself.
So we're going to.
John Glenn.
This is the Grand Jury.
Mayor Giuliani says, throw these astronauts a parade at the Canyon of Desperate.
Why don't we tweet that out?
Yeah.
Right when you can, when you can, when you can.
I know you have a lot to do.
Well, you've got to keep these tweets coming.
There is, as every hour goes by and they continue to charge, we get closer and closer.
To Trump announcing that the ceasefire has been violated and that there are consequences to it.
This hasn't happened, by the way, what you just saw in 54 years.
And of course, again, this will not be reported.
So I fulfill my raison d'etre.
I hate using French.
I'm going to translate that into Latin from now on.
My raison d'etre for this show is to tell you things that you don't hear elsewhere.
Now, what you don't hear elsewhere is the unbelievable achievement this constitutes and how this reverses the direction of the anti-American Obama administration that was doing away with NASA so that China or Muslim militants could get control of outer space,
which would be much more consistent with what appears to be the Obama's Religion and political orientation.
And the only way that we're going to give these wonderful and beautiful people in Iran a chance at peace is this.
If you have been paying attention to social media, most particularly, I think you'd find this on Facebook and Instagram, although also on X. Many, many Iranian Americans have come forward. pleading with the president not to feel that the Iranian people would hold it against him if he were to conduct the kind of bombing that he talked about.
And they understand the kind of bombing that he talked about.
He did that.
He took it to the worst degree possible to scare the mullahs.
And it did.
It got them to the bargaining table.
Now, it got them to the bargaining table.
They agreed.
They got the immediate pressure off.
And then they went right back to lying again.
But at least it stopped it for a while.
And showed that although it hasn't yet had the complete effect, when you combine that with some more action, you're going to get there.
You just can't give up.
You just can't give up.
You've got to keep going.
Are you keeping contact with what's going on there and the ocean?
Yep.
Do you want to put it back up?
Should we put it up?
Yeah, yeah.
Yes.
And then we can, you know.
Get to the end and I can have a little more celebration here.
Ooh.
Keep aware of, if you can, that I don't know how much the schedule matters now, but they're supposed to be coming out of that thing around 7 54, and it's 7 40 now.
As I said, I don't know how much the schedule counts now.
It's really a question of what's going on on the ground.
But.
That will lead to the hoisting of the crew members.
For two crew members for each helicopter, they'll be hoisted to a pair of Navy helicopters that will then fly a short distance.
Back to the extraction time is 9 06, which means they anticipated that this was going to take some time, right?
To look at all the ships around there, wow!
But it takes a while to locate them exactly, Ted.
And also, you know, this is the uh, I don't know what the depth of the ocean is here, but this is the ocean.
We're not talking about, you know, a pond.
They didn't come down in a pond.
They came down in a vast ocean.
Looks like the raft is right next to them, huh?
Just like right there, right next to them.
You said extraction is at 9 07 or 9 03?
Well, they may have changed it, but when this report was put out, which is about midday today, okay?
So we can't, we've got to, we've got 9 06.
Did I say 9 07?
It was 9 06.
The targeted time to extract the astronauts from the capsule is 9 06 p.m.
Ted, I'm sure this is me, but it seems like there's an extra balloon there now.
Well, there's five now.
I thought there were four originally.
A balloon.
Those really aren't balloons.
They look like buoys.
What are they?
Buoys?
Buoys, yeah.
But keep it from flipping over.
Well, that's the actual.
I mean, remember the capsule is inverted, right?
They came down backwards.
Look at the tip.
See, the tip is facing up?
Yeah.
So they're backwards in the capsule.
They've been backwards since they started falling toward the earth.
Okay.
To the extent that Gover had to make piloting decisions or even checking out whether the computer was correct, he had to do it backwards.
You know how hard it is backwards?
Remember yesterday when I was trying to cut the back of my head?
I ended up on the wrong side.
I'm convinced that I can cut my own hair because my grandfather was a barber.
Although I'm not convinced that I can make a very high quality men's suit because my other grandfather was a custom tailor.
Although I do do a lot of stuff on my own with suits.
Particularly when I was impoverished, I had to do it myself.
Shakespeare and Human Condition00:03:29
When the Biden people achieved their objective of making sure I had zero money available to them.
Ken Fling now waiting.
Might have had a net worth that was okay, but I couldn't get access to it.
You know, I find it, and we're going to go off on another point for a moment.
I find it a sign of how sick our times are, where the Democrats and the now group of Judases in the Republican Party, I'm talking about Taylor Greene and.
Splashdown time, as it were.
Candace.
Trump is engaged in war crimes.
Trump uses bad language.
I mean, the president did attribute it in his response to them, which was quite lengthy on truth the desire for ratings.
But of course, ratings means their desire for money.
power and glory and fame and their bitterness at not having gotten what they feel.
This is, I mean, 80% of the betrayals in government come when people don't receive the promotion or the office they believe they should receive.
The reason that Shakespeare is timeless in his descriptions and analysis of the human condition.
And is in his own way as deeply embedded in human psychology as the Greek tragedians.
So think what play of Shakespeare illustrates this?
What play of Shakespeare illustrates why Marjorie Taylor Greene is running around like a crazy banshee, now appearing on the view?
I think he calls her brown face because she puts on very brown makeup, right?
Yeah.
So, what play?
I'm going to go on with a few other things because I like to have you think or look up things.
What play of Shakespeare would come closest to this terrible human condition?
And by the way, most serious human conditions, you can find a play of Shakespeare addressing it.
Just like you can find literature and help and analysis of it in both pre-Socratic and post-Socratic Greek philosophy.
BB so far is, as far as I can tell, cooling it.
He hasn't hit Hezbollah in a day, but also they haven't hit him.
So now I would think he's going along with this because of his respect for the president and because the president really admonished him in about the most benign way, suggesting that the president doesn't agree with it and really thinks that they just need a little time off before they resume their destruction of this regime of terror.
Larger Boat Landing00:13:34
I don't think the president is going to be mollified very much by Mark Rudy and the NATO people.
I'm listening.
Shall we put that on for a minute?
The crew is an excellent.
He's reported that the crew is in excellent shape, which is excellent news.
And they continue to get reports.
They continue to get reports.
We have no hazard gases and no hazardous situation with the vehicle.
It performed perfectly all the way down from entry interface to its splashdown in the Pacific at 7 07 and 27 seconds PM Central Time.
Today, although it seems like.
Well, let's see.
Well, that's a good picture.
We didn't have it.
Can you have it on the full screen, Ted?
That picture?
I'm looking at it here on the full screen.
That's an excellent rendition of it.
We're about 20 minutes away from their coming out of there.
And we certainly want to see their coming out of there.
And then we'll.
We'll sign off and defer to the great Dr. Maria who was kind enough to be on our show.
Look at that.
It's almost as if the capsule's saying hello, right?
Look, it's going up and down, up and down, up and down, up and down.
Want a little more?
Yeah, come on.
Dr. Maria!
Oh, well, my goodness, Ted.
How worked it here?
Nah, we got a little.
What are you, a teetotal?
The vehicle has been powered down.
Some of the shots are very good and some aren't.
Oh, I think they're probably at the exit door.
Does it seem like they have room in that craft?
What do you say?
You think they have room in that craft?
And I have to say, they made a mistake in where they position the camera because the exit appears to be on the back side.
Remember, the capsule's upside down.
Right.
Now, having gone through space and having been weightless for who knows how long, this probably makes no difference to them.
Yes.
You see, he agreed.
He said yes.
What do you think the guys on the larger boat, do you think the smaller boat will take them to the larger boat and the larger boat will take them to then even a larger boat?
I was surprised, they said, Ted, that it would take two hours. to get them to the intended destination, which is, I guess, much closer to San Diego, although still another boat.
They're all around it, but they still have a bit of time to go.
They do have a bit of time to go.
I hate to go from the awe inspiring to the ridiculous, but today was apparently approximately 100 days in office for Mondani.
And he really had the audacity to have a celebration of having destroyed New York as much as possible to destroy it in 100 days.
And his mission control Houston continuing to watch, he's got them at a point where they are in bankruptcy for sure.
And most of the things that he's promised, he's taken money and spent it, but he hasn't accomplished it.
So we got to figure out who the hell is it going to.
This is going to be another repeat of the Somalians in Minneapolis.
The water, do you think the water looks kind of rough?
It looks to me.
I can hear you.
Thank you.
Yeah, we're back here on the bow of the recovery ship where there are still plenty of people peering out into the water.
We are not very far from the action everyone is seeing on their screen now.
The Orion spacecraft integrity in the ocean surrounding the ocean.
Ted, can you explain?
Although this will not affect the audience, it will affect my ability to.
Why are we looking at two different shots here or just different angles of the shot?
I guess it's the same shot, yeah.
This is just bigger here on the bigger screen.
No, not necessarily.
Oh.
This is clear.
The one in front of me is clear in terms of resolution.
You can probably see that there are six boats out in the water, more than 40 people.
out in the water right now on those boats.
What would have happened if without warning, right, there had been a great storm that hit that area?
I mean, they, of course, looked at the 10-day predictions, but at the time they took off, all they had was a 10-day forecast for this area.
I assume they had alternative areas should there be a storm that was predictable.
Because once they're up, they can't.
I mean, if before they're going up, they have reports of a storm, they can cancel the flight and put it off.
But once it's in flight, they can't.
So I have to believe that they have alternative landing areas.
Basically, just to make sure that Orion stays upright, doesn't sway in the water too much, again, to make it easier for recovery forces to get the astronauts out.
You know what's interesting?
Not interesting, it's kind of strange.
They're not telling us what's happening inside.
What are they doing inside?
Are they packing up to leave their room?
You're going to leave a tip?
Are any of them New Yorkers?
Are any of them New Yorkers?
You know the best tippers in the world are New Yorkers.
Ask any, ask any, ask any.
Waiter or.
You know, there was a club, I think it was in Houston, Texas, right?
And they used to allow tipping.
Plenty of time.
Until a lot of New Yorkers moved in and started giving instead of, you know, $2 tip, $100 tips.
And the cheap non New Yorkers canceled tipping at the club.
And they built in a little extra for the personnel because the New Yorkers were embarrassing them and also costing them money by giving these very hardworking people more money than they felt they deserved.
So I am before we get off because we do want to try to get off around 9 06 so you can go.
Was it a Dr. Maria?
Mondani put out a report card on his 100 days, and the Times spun it as best they could for him.
This, of course, is probably the worst 100 days in the history of any mayor.
I go back, of course, to David Dinkins because his first 100 days was 100 days after he defeated me.
And I was looking for signs then, although at that point I pretty much thought I wasn't going to run for mayor again.
I was going to run for governor.
And, um, And he had an unsuccessful first 100 days.
He had an unsuccessful mayoralty.
But I don't think it was as bad.
Well, now I see some light emerging.
Oh, my goodness.
They now have a chute open, Ted.
You see that?
They're going to start pulling them out a little early.
We have to be ready for when they come out.
See if the good doctor wants to help us analyze this.
We could use her help with the people coming out as to how they look, okay?
Would you do that?
In they go.
Just like I asked you to comment on whether you think there should be a heroes parade for them, I would like you to comment on whether you like it best when I have my whole team with me.
I think we're just better.
But I rely on them tremendously, whether you see them or not.
I wish they would explain more why it's taking time, because I'm sure it's interesting.
I'm sure it's not taking time because they're resting and putting makeup on.
There must be things they have to do inside the capsule, Ted, to effectively secure it.
Very soon, somebody's going to come along and take it for analysis.
I think they're taking it to the Space Center in Houston.
Or are they taking it to Cape Kennedy and they're going to Houston?
They're going to Houston.
The astronauts for debriefing.
The crew is scheduled to fly back to the Johnson Space Center in Houston between 12 and 24 hours after recovery.
So they're going somewhere in San Diego first for a complete physical and mental and whatever.
Okay, here it is.
And their Orion capsule will be trucked.
Why don't we toss it back across the country to the Kennedy Space Center in Florida?
Maybe we can go visit it.
We're only three hours away.
Maybe we can find some time.
We're going to be traveling quite a bit in the next two weeks.
We're not going to be there in the next.
That, of course, allowed the recovery personnel to approach the vehicle and then open the hatch to begin the initial medical assessment of the crew, as you just indicated.
Now we're standing by for the erection of that inflatable.
Uh, raft the front porch alongside of the vehicle, uh, that will enable the so they got a medical assessment by open when they open that door, we can inform our loyal hoisted uh into two observers and listeners.
Helicopters, they they assessed the health for the four deck of the USS John.
So, I mean, most they could have done is ask them a question or two and taken a look at them.
I assume, I assume what they found were they're in fine health and no injuries, God willing.
To the Earth, the entry into the Earth's atmosphere, and all of the key milestones that followed in this high speed return to Earth for integrity.
A mission that spanned more than 694,000 miles from the vehicle's launch from the Kennedy Space Center atop the Space Launch System back on April 1st.
There's a bunch of them.
It's confusing as to which ones are going to do the extraction.
Well, let me just complete these little items of news so that we can get off one.
The 100-day report on Obama, on Mamdani shows that he basically, so far, is in a position of having lied to his people.
He was supposed to provide universal health care.
And he, for all two-year-olds, right now, what he has is health care for only 2,000 kids, which is completely absurd.
Police Corruption Scandal00:15:42
They had more before Mondani.
So, so far, they've gone from bad because the health care situation in New York was bad to catastrophic.
His free buses, well, they're just not going to work.
As we mentioned at the broadcast.
Largely because the state has to do it and they're not going to do it.
He has put aside $45 million.
But it would be a very, very scaled down, almost pilot program.
His rent freeze he can do.
That is completely within his jurisdiction to do it.
And I suspect that they will vote on it in May the rent freeze.
He doesn't have to go to Albany for that.
It's within his power.
He doesn't need the city council, which largely has turned on it.
Overall, the service that did this gives him a failing mark on everything but crime, where they say that, at least as far as the percentages are concerned, things have not become catastrophic.
Although his programs have proved to be absurd, like his program of getting rid of Cobbs and using these social workers.
It went from being a city agency to being a city office.
He was supposed to have 10,000 people working for it.
He's got more like 200.
And his store is they put up $70 million to find locations, but they haven't found one yet.
His Department of Community Service, which is the people he's going to send. to deal with domestic violence when a man is beating the living daylights out of his wife, possibly trying to kill her, and has often turned on cops and attempted to kill or maim them.
So far, he's done this little program with a $260 million budget, and it has two staffers.
He did reverse course after 18 people died on getting rid of the homeless encampments.
He's now decided he's going to do it, although I haven't seen one done.
Right.
And we're just supposed to end.
So basically, they give him an F on everything but crime, where although the moves taken promise to really make the city much more dangerous, so far those moves haven't happened.
And the police commissioner is holding things together with a simple exception.
And I think this happened too late to give him a failing grade.
He's canceled public events in New York that would be critical, really, to the economy and raison d'etre for New York, which is tourism.
He says New York City is not capable of policing the July 3rd 250 year celebration.
So they're going to do it privately.
He's canceled many of the FIFA outdoor events that bring the city a great deal of money because he doesn't have enough police to secure them.
And the police commissioner has pointed that out.
Now, what she hasn't done, and I'm one who very much believes you have to fall on the sword for what you believe in, but there are other people that take a more practical approach.
View of it.
She did put out an explanation saying she didn't have enough police to police the 250 years celebration.
She also has said privately she doesn't have enough police to police the FIFA events, which were agreed upon quite some time ago.
Isn't the real conclusion that she doesn't have enough police to police New York?
New York is not exactly an empty city when there isn't FIFA.
On various days, we can get as many people as FIFA is going to bring in just because they're coming here for.
Or for a fleet week, or they just might as well cancel any public event in New York.
Like, for example, when I recommended the Heroes Parade, I didn't think until I once again reminded myself they may not be able to do one.
They may not be comfortable, they can secure it.
Oh, because they don't have enough cops.
They never did away with the defunding that took place under crooked communist DeBazia.
They took a billion dollars out, it's never been returned, and now.
In addition to their deliberate defunding, cops are leaving left and right.
So they are, you could argue how far under.
She likes to use 7,000 or 8,000.
I would say it's absolutely 10,000 from my peak numbers.
And the numbers that I know, because I never just got numbers, I got numbers attached to valuable things they were doing, then use CompStat to evaluate that and figure out are we going in the right direction, the wrong direction?
Do we have the right commanders?
Do we have the right police?
This lazy bum doesn't do anything like that.
All he really cares about is closing down Rikers Island, where the worst of the worst are now.
Will be secured in the capsule only.
So his report card was a B minus on crime, F minus on the economy, F minus on budget, and C minus on education.
Bottom line is, Mandami's ideas have been awful.
And although he hasn't made the worst of them, neither has he deviated much from his college frat socialist, pro, I would put in pro Muslim terrorist.
Ideology.
A sick New York City judge named Guy Mitchell.
Remember Guy Mitchell's name because he will be repeated very often because he is one of an example of a systemic, corrupt New York City judiciary in Manhattan, the Bronx, Queens, and Brooklyn.
Judge Guy Mitchell got a chance to sentence.
Got a chance to sentence New York police sergeant Eric Duran.
Eric Duran was prosecuted for something he never should have been prosecuted for.
In February, In February, he was involved in the arrest of a drug dealer.
And the drug dealer had just purchased drugs from an undercover agent.
We call this a buy and bust case.
I personally probably prosecuted a dozen or more of these, and I supervised the prosecution of probably 1,000 of these over the decade.
The police officer or DEA agent goes undercover.
The drug dealer does business with them.
And nowadays they record it and it's a slam dunk conviction because it's right there on the video.
So a police officer named Sergeant Eric Dugan made such an arrest.
And during the course of the arrest, the defendant.
The defendant pushed him and got on a scooter and ran away.
And he was going on the sidewalk at 30 miles an hour, which is very dangerous for a scooter and could have easily killed somebody.
He was also escaping arrest.
Sergeant Dupree had in front of him a water cooler and he threw the water cooler at.
the criminal, knocked him off the scooter, and tragically, he hit his head and died.
Now, wasn't he doing his duty?
Wasn't he?
I mean, unless the police, unless you subscribe to the socialist, communist, Muslim interpretation of American police.
Judge Guy Mitchell sentenced him to three to nine years in prison.
That's when they let rapists out with no bail.
They give him suspended sentences.
But just as an example, this sick son of a bitch, Guy Mitchell, 10 years ago, well, this wasn't his case, this is another case.
10 years ago, Officer Peter Liang was found guilty of manslaughter for fatally shooting an unarmed AK girly in a housing development stairwell.
Liang was sentenced to probation and community service.
He shot the guy unarmed.
In this particular case, instead of shooting him, which he could have done, he threw a he's a little cooler at him to slow him down.
And he gets three to nine years.
Wasn't he doing his job?
Mitchell concluded that Duran was through the cooler in order so that he wouldn't lose an arrest.
So what?
Isn't that what he's supposed to do?
Not lose an arrest?
Isn't the guy dangerous?
He's a drug dealer.
Don't drugs kill young people in New York?
You ever hear of fentanyl?
Product of the corrupt Democrat system of appointing judges that makes the New York lower courts stink.
And no one does anything about it, not the New York Times, not the New York Bar Association.
For 170 years, with minor exceptions, the Democrats have made the New York court system a mockery.
And the judges really should be.
Should really be when you say you're a New York Supreme Court justice from the four Democratic dictatorships of Manhattan, the Bronx, Queens, and Brooklyn, it should be assumed that you're crooked because you got your job in a crooked way.
The Democratic leader of that county approved you.
And I don't know if you yourself did this, but it is not unknown and it is a practice very often in New York that you pay off for the job.
And if you don't pay off in money, which at one time you did, you pay off by giving them value on the decisions you make.
You make it possible for them to fix all political cases.
That's a given.
And then, depending on exactly how ambitious you are and how corrupt, you can enter into deals with the Democratic leader and then all his pals to really come up with tremendous judgments with these ambulance chasing law firms.
This kind of crap.
is what inhabits our state criminal court, our state civil court, and our Supreme Court in Manhattan.
When you see an opinion of theirs, take a good look at it, and more than likely, it'll be warped by this initial corruption and becoming a judge.
Officer Durant is a 15-year veteran.
He has no crimes or, I think, anything else of an untoward nature on his record.
The judge in 2018 gave a gang member only nine months in prison for purposely beating a homeless man to death.
I'm going to read that again.
Judge Guy Mitchell, who is a crooked judge of the month candidate this month, and an example of far too many New York City gang members.
Democrat hacked corrupt judges.
In 2018, he gave a gang member only nine months in prison for purposely beating a homeless man to death.
Reminds me of the judge in a rape case that I once was involved in who said to the rapist, well, I'm not going to give you a high sentence because it's no reason to ruin two lives.
The husband of the woman who was raped was an FBI agent and he had to be contained.
because he wanted to rip the judge to shreds.
There's no reason for me to ruin two lives because one has been and we shouldn't have to hurt.
It reminds me of Mrs. Newscomb who loves to go to San Quentin and tell the lifers there that she killed her sister and always blamed herself for it because she was in the wrong place at the wrong time.
She was only six years old.
To equate that to what they're there for shows you have a warped pathological sense of right and wrong.
And you have some sick pathological attraction to very dangerous criminals.
Why would she go there that much?
In this case, Sergeant Duran was doing his job.
And he's been sentenced to three to nine years in prison for doing his job.
He was stopping a drug dealer who had just made an undercover purchase from running away, escaping justice, and also driving a scooter in such a way that if a child got in the way of him, he could have killed him.
Judge Mitchell Sentenced00:03:40
And he could have taken a gun and just shot him.
But instead, he took a water cooler, probably thinking that was the less egregious of the things that could be done.
And for that, he's going to spend a good deal of his young life in prison.
And he is going to discourage police officers.
And the reason why New York has to cancel the 250th celebration, it has to cancel much of their FIFA celebrations.
Who knows what else it's going to have to cancel, which is a dramatic illustration that the police commissioner has way too few cops to police New York generally safely, because New York is dealing with big crowds every day without any kind of deliberate event.
And the people in charge of it don't have the guts to argue that we need more.
The police commissioner, who I have very mixed feelings about, I think it's great that she's there because she is a source of reason and common sense.
And she has done a good job.
And some of that has carried over into the Mondani years that he hasn't interfered with yet.
I suspect they're going to be destroyed.
One of the good things was his whole idea of sending social workers out kind of petered out or.
Blew up right at the beginning, so it's not happening.
But I, of course, you know, everybody has their own views here, and this is not necessarily a criticism of her, just a question.
If she has to recommend canceling because too many people are coming into New York, doesn't it say that her city is too dangerous day to day to day, and that she's got to make a much bigger deal out of the fact that she claims she's down 6,000 officers?
I will tell her, as a much bigger expert on crime and law enforcement than she can ever hope to be.
that she's closer to about 8,000 or 9,000.
And by next year at this time, with all of the things they're doing, and she is not revert, this is not a Bernie Kerrick or a Bill Bratton or a Howard Saver.
This isn't a person with massive law enforcement experience.
With all that being said, she's done a good job, but now she's working for a traitor, a communist, a Muslim.
sympathizer, Muslim killer sympathizer.
So this sick, sick judge is going to put the, the, is going to put the police officer in jail unless it gets appealed.
He's 38 years old.
He's a dad of three.
He served for 11 years.
The judge agreed that Duran was remorseful, but still gave a three to nine year sentence as a deterrent.
To other police officers.
So now, police officers, if somebody is fleeing, should say, Oh, well, you can go away.
Judge Mitchell thinks it's better if you run away.
And then we're going to hope to find you in a city of 8.5 million with so many fugitives that they could fill up several stadiums.
Goodbye, Judge Mitchell.
Weekend Show Transition00:03:51
So let's, let's, the rest, the rest, the rest, the rest, Dr. Maria has gone off and left us.
We're getting to her show.
Now it's time to go to Dr. Maria's show.
She could tell us what's on it, but it is good.
I heard some of it.
You heard some of it, right?
So let's wrap up with where are we?
And once again, God bless our brave astronauts.
Where are they right now?
It looks like they haven't quite come out yet, but they're going in.
I just see one of the, it looks like a soldier or a sailor walking in who just went into the cabin, the backwoods cabin.
But since there's not a raft or a boat right up next to it, I seriously doubt that anybody is coming out.
Which means they are now about 10 minutes delayed coming out, which is okay.
That's right.
So I urge you to go over to Dr. Maria.
This is all going to go fine.
So you can make a choice.
Now, here's a practical suggestion.
Go over to Dr. Maria, listen to her.
If you don't want to do that, watch this and then get Dr. Maria as a podcast, as more than 50% of the people who watch our show do.
Most of you watch it.
We're going to a weekend, right?
Most of you will watch it.
Twice as many of you will watch it over this weekend than are watching it right now.
Because it is a combination of live and podcast.
And that's true of Dr. Maria, too.
But if you want to go over now, take a peek at it.
And this way you can remind yourself over the weekend to go back to it if you want to watch the rest of this.
Because I'm going to do both.
I'm going to have her on and I'm going to watch this.
In fact, Watch, watch, watch, watch.
We'll sign off as soon as I get around.
And remember, it's a weekend coming up.
Pray, for, come on, help me, Ted.
Pray for, oh, there she is right here.
See?
Would you like to see it?
Oh, it went off.
Stop this.
Mike, I got you back.
Here it is.
Oh, she's got on.
I can see it.
She's got on a very big miscarriage of justice in Houston, Texas.
This was terrible.
I was going to cover this also, but far better for her to cover.
She does it better.
So keep following them.
They're probably going to be some really terrific.
I imagine the press conference will be tomorrow by the time they get back and everything else.
It would be really interesting to see how they describe this.
Anything happens, Ted and I will find a way to be back with you, right, Ted?
We're going to keep very posted because I keep thinking something's going to happen over in the Middle East.
And pray for the people of Israel, pray for the people of Ukraine, pray for the people of Iran, pray for our wonderful astronauts that everything else goes safely and that they get the proper glory they deserve for this, not just for them, because it'll encourage a lot of young people to go in this direction.
A parade like that had brought a lot of people into science.
When we did them, they had definite good results.
Founders Created Democracy00:02:21
And it starts to get our American kids to start looking at something other than the scummy singers and, you know, the little creeps that they love to be singers, but they also take drugs.
And so many of them are such a bad example.
These are good examples.
See you on Monday.
God bless America.
U.S. Army Major Scott.
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.
There 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.
