Hillary, I want to thank four
Hillary. I want to thank four
law enforcement and I want to
thank everybody in the community
and the community drive in law
enforcement,
were here today to deliver a
united message to police
officers, all across our great
land in American, every American,
every race and color. We love
you every race, color creed.
We support you, we honor you
its a dangerous profession,
theyve been doing an incredible
job
PETE. That was the president
yesterday at the White House, for
a peaceful protest
here to comment on that and more
lets bring in Rudy Giuliani.
The presidents attorney, as well
as former New York City Mayor
Rudy, thanks for being here this
morning,
appreciate it
thanks for having me
PETE. Of course,
we always love having you.
We had you on last Sunday and
you clarified and talked with us
about the presidents condition
here. We are a week later feels
like a world away the president
about to hit the trail again.
Yes,
PETE talk to us about where we
are and where were going
well, I think I have good
news this weekend, too.
Ive talked to him a lot during
the week.
I dont think he had any kind of
problem all week.
I mean he could have done this
three four days ago and I think hes taking it
and I think hes taking it
doctors,
he just happened to have
recovered very, very quickly,
a testament to the medicines
maybe or also to the fact that
he is in fundamentally really
good health.
I know people its a little
bit funny because the doctor
originally put out hes like a
40 year old man or whatever
look. I work with the guy five
months in a row. Twenty four hours a day
and I am known for not sleeping
and having tremendous energy
and he outworks me and hes got
nor energy than I do
its rational
hes. Just like that,
you got to buy it
and I think he feels uplifted by
the fact I dont care what the
polls say. Joes on the ropes
you dont do something stupid
like he did yesterday and youre
asked a question doesnt. The
public deserve to have the right
to know if youre going to pack
and ruin the Supreme Court,
and he said no, they dont have
the they dont deserve to
know.
Youre right,
you cant, say youre in your
right mind. If youre running for
office of the President of the
United States,
the Supreme Court doesnt belong
to Joe Biden,
hey Joe its the government of
the people for the people by
the people,
Abraham Lincoln,
not your government
belongs to me,
belongs to the moderators,
belongs to everybody out there,
and we dont have a right to
know when you are going to
fundamentally alter one of the
three key branches of our
government.
I mean when Franklin Roosevelt
tried to do this. We almost had
a revolution.
Democrats opposed him because we
had Democrats who loved America,
then more than their greed, for
will. You know Rudy
its outrageous
outrageous
will. It is outrageous Rudy
and we do have a right to know
we do deserve to know.
He clearly doesnt. Think, though,
hes going to pay the price for
not telling us,
I want to tell you about this.
Rudy
will im hesitant to even play
this, to be quite honest,
but I dont want to give it air.
I dont want to give it airtime,
but I think the real question is:
is this indicative of a growing
vindictiveness and anger in our
country?
Keith Olbermann is back right,
hes back in the political
sphere, hes on Youtube,
a show on MSNBC.
He said that
I want you to listen to this.
I believe we have a clip on his
new online show where hes
talking about not just President
Trump, not just those who
support president Trump, but
people like Amy, Coney Barrett as
well, and I want you to listen to
the rhetoric
he and his enablers and his
supporters and his collaborators
and the MIKE Lees and the
William Barrs and the Sean
Hannitys and the MIKE Pences and
the Rudy Giulianis and the Kyle
Rittenhousees, and the Amy Coney
Barretts must be prosecuted and
convicted and removed from our
society. While we try to rebuild
it and to rebuild the world,
Trump has nearly destroyed by
turning it over to a virus.
Will Rudy thats unhinged
its insane
unhinged?
Will what im asking you,
though, is it a growing
sentiment?
Is it beyond Keith Olbermann?
Yes, it is.
Ive talked a little about it.
I think im going to write about
it, a bit
theres, a hatred in the Democrat
Party that is beyond anything
ive ever seen in politics.
You know weve always had
disputes and whatever,
but I mean I have friends. I
had friends who were Democrats.
I probably had more democrat
friends than republican friends.
When I was mayor,
I had a city, forty five members of
the City Council Dems, six
republicans.
I passed a lot of legislation,
groundbreaking legislation.
I needed the Dems,
they were good friends, we could talk,
we could talk
hatred,
they let the hatred get out of
control, Pelosi, Schumer
Biden, Hillary.
They drove the hatred beyond
anything cause theyre using
it as a political weapon
and its completely unjustified
disagreement over his policies.
Fine
hatred of the man
I mean: what does he do?
Makes you hate you dont like
the way he talks
its ridiculous to hate a man?
They hate him because they have
such greed for that power
and frankly, some of them make
a lot of money when theyre in
power, like Joe Biden,
family, makes millions.
So does the Pelosi family,
so its a greed for power and
money,
and he stands in the way of it.
They let the hatred grow
and then they do irrational
things and mean things and
horrible things.
Keith Olbermann should not be on
the air.
I think he was taken off once
because hes so hateful
hes, not even a political
commentator.
He was a half. Excuse me he
was not a very good sports
reporter
I mean I love sports and I
listened to him on sports and I
had to put him off when he was
doing sports, because he
wouldnt cover sports hes rip
into players. Rip into fans rip
into umpires rip into this
man probably has his own
personal issues
very, very sick guy,
but hatred is its a horrible
thing.
It eats away at you and it
makes you become completely
irrational,
thats how they can do things
like you, dont deserve
telling the public of the United
States you dont deserve to
know about the highest court in
your land because it doesnt
belong to you pal.
It belongs to me
im an arrogant Democrat.
I can do what I want
ill. Tell you when im ready to
Jedediah yeah, I mean Rudy.
Things have gotten so personal
and I think we saw an ugliness
emerge like never before. For the
first time at least I did in
those Kavanaugh hearings.
I was blown away by what I had
witnessed: the character attacks,
the personal attacks
Jedediah. It had gone to a new
horrible place
and since then couple that with social media and a lot of other
social media and a lot of other
deeply personal in an
deeply personal in an
unfortunate way.
But I want to ask you about a
topic.
There has been some good news
that weve seen with respect to
Covid 19 this week,
first off with President Trump,
but secondly, with former New
Jersey Governor Chris Christie,
who has said that hes left the
hospital he has received his
treatment there.
He seems to be doing well.
Do you have any updates you can
provide for us on his recovery
yeah? I just got a text from
him. Just got a text from him,
which means hes up early
right.
He says hes doing great hes
doing fine,
and I talked to a lot of friends
of his too.
He is doing fine.
It was really he would not
have gone to the hospital, but
for the fact, the underlying
issue of asthma.
If that had not been, it is case,
he would gone home and recovered
nicely.
It was just a case if he needed
oxygen or something else with
the asthma.
Almost like the president.
I think the regular person where
they werent taking extra care,
neither one of them, would have
ended up in the hospital,
but thank God they did and
theyre coming out of it
and looks like the presidents
totally out of it, and I think
Chris is a day or two away from
being totally out of it.
Pete thats great to hear Mr
Mayor
Jed mentioned it. Kavanaugh
weve mentioned this morning: Amy Coney Barrett Coming
Coney Barrett coming
Unconstitutional, whats being
unconstitutional, whats being
done.
You can address that if you want
as well, which is ridiculous.
But what do you anticipate?
You know this time during
Kavanaugh they were already
making outlandish accusations
against him.
We havent really seen that.
How do you feel about this week
will go? Are Amy Coney, Barrett
well theyre in a box?
Really,
she is a very very I mean
she could come from central
casting as a candidate.
Its like Mr Smith, goes to
Washington.
She seems like a person that
wants to do it for exactly the
right reasons, and she has
exactly the right background.
The group that she belongs to a
catholic, evangelical group and even the New York Times, who did
even the New York Times, who did
happy? Oh my god, theyre
happy, oh my god, theyre
happy,
which would get the New York
Times. People very upset because
theyre all very unhappy.
Do you notice. I used to be a
person who used to say,
Democrats and Republicans. Weve
got our good ones and our bad
ones, and neither one has a
multiply on virtue or vice.
This is different.
The Republicans dont hate
I dont hate
president doesnt hate.
I dont hate them
I can deem with them.
I can negotiate with them,
theyre the ones who hate
and its really really deep
within them right now,
and they it almost has to be
exorcised.
You know I studied to be a
catholic preach for a while,
never became an exorcist or id
do it for them.
The devils got to get taken out
of them. It really does and
weve got to get back being able
to talk to each other,
and I have the answer to the
exorcism like beat em by twenty
points
that will straighten themselves
out.
Believe me that will straighten,
will thats a fascinating story.
You told us mother, Democrat
friends than Republicans forty five
Democrats versus six Republicans,
but not that kind of
collegiality anymore.
Thank you for that and your.
