  Speaker 4: We have to get a little money from the federal
• 2:15
  Speaker 4: government to have to tell you it's about it's about time.
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: It's about time, Mayor Adams, good luck with everything. And

  Speaker 4: so many friends up here. It's uh great, not a
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: great friend some uh, some of my best friends and
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: you are right.
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: They are distinguished and they are wealthy. For the most part,
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: couple are having a hard time, but they gonna get
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: over it.
• 3:06
  Speaker 4: I also want to thank my very beautiful wife and
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: thank you for mentioning. But can you believe this. She
• 3:11
  Speaker 4: did a book, and it's a really good book, and
• 3:14
  Speaker 4: she worked hard on it, and it just became number
• 3:17
  Speaker 4: one on the New York Times list.
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: So I think that's okay.
• 3:24
  Speaker 4: That's not an easy thing to do, especially when your
• 3:26
  Speaker 4: name is Trump and you're on the New York Times list.
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: I that thing that must be selling like hotcakes. But
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: thank you for menche. I appreciate it. Good job you did.
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: It's a true pleasure to be with you this evening.
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: Amazing pleasure.
• 3:40
  Speaker 4: And these days it's uh really a pleasure anywhere in
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: New York without a subpoena for my appearance.
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: Anytime I don't get a subpoena.
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: I'm very happy they've gone after me, mister mayor your
• 3:59
  Speaker 4: peanuts compared what they've done to me, and you're gonna
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: be okay. But I have to be careful, however, to
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: understand that this will be the first time in the
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: history of this event.
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: Where jokes will be fact checked, and they will be
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: and they will be. It's been a long tradition for
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: both Democrat and Republican candidates for President of the United
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: States to attend this dinner. Always it's a rule. You
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: got to go to the dinner. You gotta do it,
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: otherwise bad things are going to happen to you. From
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: up there. You can't do what I just saw on
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: that screen.
• 4:38
  Speaker 4: But my opponent feels like she does not have to
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: be here, which is deeply disrespectful to the event and
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: in particular to our great Catholic community, very disrespectful. The
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: last Democrat not to attend this important event was Walter.
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: Mondale, and it did not go very well for him.
• 5:05
  Speaker 4: He lost forty nine states and he won won Minnesota.
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: So I said, there's no way I'm missing it. Actually,
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: it was not easy for me to get here tonight.
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: Card I wasn't gonna miss this thing, you know, matter,
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: I didn't care. I wasn't gonna miss it. But that's true.
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: Walter Mondale forty nine and one.
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: He was expected to.
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: Do well and it didn't work out. It shows you
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: there is a god. I mean, for those people that
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: are quitetioned it I understand the real reason that she's
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: not here. She's hunting with her running.
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: Mate, spending a lot of time haunting. In any event,
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: it's say weird, weird, weird, weird, you know the word weird.
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: They called me weird, they called JD weird. We're very
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: solid people. This guy is calling us weird.
• 5:59
  Speaker 4: But this was weird that the Democrat candidate is not
• 6:03
  Speaker 4: here and with us tonight. I want to also congratulate.
• 6:06
  Speaker 4: Somebody's gonna make us all healthy. RFK Junior would love you.
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: I don't see if he's campaigning all over the place,
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: he's camp playing, you're all over Hello you both.
• 6:18
  Speaker 4: Nice to see you about doing a good job. He's
• 6:21
  Speaker 4: a great guy too, he really is. He's gonna make
• 6:23
  Speaker 4: us a healthier place. We're gonna let him go wild
• 6:25
  Speaker 4: for a little while that I'm gonna have to maybe.
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: Rate him back.
• 6:29
  Speaker 4: Because he's got some pretty wild ideas, but most of
• 6:32
  Speaker 4: them are really good.
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: I think.
• 6:35
  Speaker 4: He's a good man, and he believes he believes the environment,
• 6:41
  Speaker 4: the healthy people. He wants healthy people, he wants healthy food,
• 6:45
  Speaker 4: and he's gonna do it. He's gonna have a big
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: chance to do it because we do need that I
• 6:49
  Speaker 4: would not have missed the Al Smith dinner for anything
• 6:52
  Speaker 4: in the world.
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: I still remember coming here as a very young guy
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: with my father. Freddie was a great guy. My father.
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: It was a tough cookie, but he had a very
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: big heart.
• 7:04
  Speaker 4: He was anytime we'd walk down the street, and you
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: don't see it too much anymore, they'd be people standing
• 7:10
  Speaker 4: with tin cans, tin cans, and he would always take
• 7:13
  Speaker 4: out one hundred dollars and put it in that can.
• 7:16
  Speaker 4: And I always thought it was beautiful, and frankly, I
• 7:19
  Speaker 4: even think more so now it was beautiful, because now
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: it is you don't see it so much.
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: But I miss him. And we used to come here
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: very religiously. And a great New York tradition has been
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: born seventy nine years ago. It was born seventy nine
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: years ago. And there are some people that were here
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: for almost that length. I know many of them. And
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: it's not a pretty picture. Not a pretty picture.
• 7:45
  Speaker 4: The two candidates for president are supposed to exchange good
• 7:49
  Speaker 4: natured barbs, and you know, we.
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: Get along very well. I didn't like Biden very much,
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: and now I like him quite a bit. You know.
• 7:56
  Speaker 4: It's and now I say that she's much worse than him.
• 8:02
  Speaker 4: He was a much better candidate than her, actually, and
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: when we hopefully win, dispose of her.
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: I like her a lot, But right now I can't
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: stand here.
• 8:11
  Speaker 4: I can't stand I've never liked people that I was
• 8:14
  Speaker 4: competing against. When you do, a lot of bad things happen,
• 8:19
  Speaker 4: and we are doing well by the way, the votes
• 8:21
  Speaker 4: are starting to come in. You gotta get out and vote,
• 8:23
  Speaker 4: and Catholics, you gotta vote for me just to remember.
• 8:26
  Speaker 4: You better remember I'm here and she's not. I could
• 8:30
  Speaker 4: have done that too, But you do something that's incredible
• 8:34
  Speaker 4: that Catholic Church are helping the poor, educating children, and
• 8:37
  Speaker 4: supporting the vulnerable. But if you really wanted Vice President
• 8:42
  Speaker 4: Harris to accept your invitation, I guess you should have
• 8:45
  Speaker 4: told her the funds we're going to bail out the
• 8:49
  Speaker 4: looters and writers in Minneapolis. And she would have been here, guaranteed,
• 8:53
  Speaker 4: she would have been here, Guaranteed.
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: She would have been okay. She would have been okay
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: with that.
• 9:02
  Speaker 4: But I know this isn't my normal crowd tonight, because
• 9:06
  Speaker 4: it just isn't. It's not my normal crowd.
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: Believe me. My normal crowd is younger, has a lot
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: more energy.
• 9:17
  Speaker 4: But you have certain advantages too, like cash, lots of caves.
• 9:22
  Speaker 4: But many of you are Manhattan liberals from the media
• 9:25
  Speaker 4: and the Democrat Party. I always say the Democrat You know,
• 9:29
  Speaker 4: Chuck doesn't like that. He likes Democratic and it sounds
• 9:31
  Speaker 4: much more beautiful. The Democratic Party. I always say the
• 9:35
  Speaker 4: Democrat Party because it sounds worse, and it's true he
• 9:41
  Speaker 4: likes Democratic. Why don't they just change the name this way?
• 9:44
  Speaker 4: What you know it is Democrat? But I must say
• 9:49
  Speaker 4: I was shocked when I heard that Kamala was skipping
• 9:52
  Speaker 4: the Al Smith dinner. I'd really hope that she would
• 9:55
  Speaker 4: come because we can't get enough of hearing her beautiful laugh.
• 9:58
  Speaker 4: She laughs like crazy. We would recognize at any place
• 10:02
  Speaker 4: in this room. And all polls are indicating I'm leading
• 10:06
  Speaker 4: big with the Catholic vote, as I should be, as
• 10:10
  Speaker 4: I should do.
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: But I don't think Kamala has given up yet. She hasn't.
• 10:15
  Speaker 4: Instead of attending tonight, she's in Michigan receiving communion.
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: From Gretchen Whitmer. That's not a pretty sight.
• 10:29
  Speaker 4: But Catholics, please don't be too insulted by Kamala's absence.
• 10:34
  Speaker 4: If the Democrats, thank you very much. I appreciate it.
• 10:40
  Speaker 4: If Democrats really wanted to have someone not be with
• 10:43
  Speaker 4: us this evening, they would have just sent Joe Biden.
• 10:49
  Speaker 4: You know he's having second thoughts. You know that he's having.
• 10:52
  Speaker 4: He wants to come back. If she does any worse
• 10:55
  Speaker 4: than the polls, they're going to bring him back again.
• 10:57
  Speaker 4: I think Chuck, he's gonna do it. He's the one that.
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: Got him out.
• 11:00
  Speaker 4: That's the guy, much more so than crazy Nancy.
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: I will tell you because I know him. He did it.
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: Joe has almost disappeared from view.
• 11:10
  Speaker 4: The only way he could be seen lessons if he
• 11:13
  Speaker 4: had a show on CNN.
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: They hated nothing. They've got nothing. Fake news right, fake?
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: That term wasn't good. You know.
• 11:23
  Speaker 4: They say that term is no longer in voke because
• 11:26
  Speaker 4: it's much worse than fake.
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: I don't want to tell you what the real name is.
• 11:29
  Speaker 4: I won't do it because all those cameras would shut
• 11:31
  Speaker 4: off immediately.
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: They don't like that.
• 11:33
  Speaker 4: But apparently Joe didn't think it was fair for me
• 11:36
  Speaker 4: to have the podium to myself with Kamala skipping the event.
• 11:41
  Speaker 4: So he called looked at me and said, don't does
• 11:47
  Speaker 4: anybody understand that, yes, that was I thought it was
• 11:52
  Speaker 4: actually very good until just now. It was announced this
• 11:56
  Speaker 4: morning that at a funeral yesterday, in a rare moment
• 11:59
  Speaker 4: of clarity, Joe told Barackussan Obama they quote, only a
• 12:06
  Speaker 4: few people got there, or as Rush Limbo used to say,
• 12:12
  Speaker 4: Barack Hussein Obama remembered bruh, he was a piece of work.
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: We miss him.
• 12:19
  Speaker 4: But is he told Barackussan Obama quote, She's not as
• 12:22
  Speaker 4: strong as me. She's not as strong? Do you understand that?
• 12:26
  Speaker 4: And Obama agreed, saying that's true. Other than that, I
• 12:30
  Speaker 4: think the Democrats are getting along quite well. Right, Nobody
• 12:35
  Speaker 4: got that one. The fact is we need new leadership
• 12:39
  Speaker 4: in this country right now. We have someone in the
• 12:41
  Speaker 4: White House who can barely talk, barely put together two
• 12:46
  Speaker 4: coherent sentences, who seems to have mental.
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: Faculties of a child.
• 12:54
  Speaker 4: That said, there is a person that has nothing going,
• 12:58
  Speaker 4: no intelligence whatsoever.
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: But enough about.
• 13:02
  Speaker 4: Kamala Harris, let's got onto something. I know Kamala's word
• 13:07
  Speaker 4: because she spends a lot of time complaining. I won't
• 13:11
  Speaker 4: agree to another debate. But the truth is I've debated
• 13:14
  Speaker 4: twice this year, once against Joe Biden, and once against
• 13:17
  Speaker 4: David Muir of ABC.
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: That was amazing, eleven times none for the other side.
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: Do you think that's fair news. I don't think so.
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: That's fake news. I don't know what's going to happen
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: three weeks from now. It's going to be very interesting.
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: It just started.
• 13:35
  Speaker 4: It's actually, uh, it's actually isn't it sort of exciting? Right?
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: It really?
• 13:41
  Speaker 4: Isn't it just exciting? What's going on. It's a process.
• 13:44
  Speaker 4: It's a rough process too, not so pretty and yet
• 13:48
  Speaker 4: sometimes very beautiful. But the press is reporting the Democrats
• 13:53
  Speaker 4: are starting to panic.
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: They're panicking. They are panicking because.
• 13:58
  Speaker 4: You know, the votes that are coming and are coming
• 13:59
  Speaker 4: and very very strong a certain way.
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: I won't tell you what way that is. But Chuck
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: Schumer is here looking very glum. Looks to lumbn it
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: looks to love.
• 14:13
  Speaker 4: But look on the bright shot, hut, considering how woke
• 14:16
  Speaker 4: your party has become. If Kamala loses, you still have
• 14:20
  Speaker 4: a chance to become the first woman president. And I
• 14:28
  Speaker 4: actually said, do you mind if I do that? He said, no,
• 14:31
  Speaker 4: you gotta do what you gotta do. He's a pro,
• 14:33
  Speaker 4: he's a professor. Nah, he's a good man. Actually, I
• 14:38
  Speaker 4: hate to say it. Don't ever use it against me.
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: Please. They'll say this dinner was.
• 14:43
  Speaker 4: Really set me back when I say it, But I've
• 14:45
  Speaker 4: known him a long time. There's a group called White
• 14:48
  Speaker 4: Dudes for Harris. Have you seen this? White Dudes for Harris?
• 14:52
  Speaker 4: Anybody know?
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: Are some of you hear white Dudes? Doesn't sound like it, But.
• 14:57
  Speaker 4: I'm not worried about them at all, because there were
• 15:00
  Speaker 4: and their wives lovers.
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: Are all voting for me. Every one of those people
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: are voting for me.
• 15:10
  Speaker 4: And as you may have seen, Kamala did an interview
• 15:13
  Speaker 4: on Fox News yesterday. It went so poorly for her
• 15:18
  Speaker 4: that the Democrats have been forced to install another one
• 15:22
  Speaker 4: hundred drop boxes throughout the city. And the upside really
• 15:27
  Speaker 4: is Kamala now sees the benefit of deportation.
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: She wants to deport people.
• 15:33
  Speaker 4: She's vicious, she wants to deport people when she wants
• 15:35
  Speaker 4: to start by deporting Brett Baar Fox. It's an interesting
• 15:41
  Speaker 4: interview last night. A major issue in this race is childcare,
• 15:45
  Speaker 4: and Kamala has put forward a concept of a plan.
• 15:49
  Speaker 4: A lot of people don't like it. The only piece
• 15:51
  Speaker 4: of advice I would have for her and the event
• 15:54
  Speaker 4: that she wins would be not to let her husband
• 15:57
  Speaker 4: Doug anywhere near the nanny.
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: Just keep them away. That's a nasty one. That's nasty.
• 16:05
  Speaker 4: I tell these idiots, they gave me this stuff that's
• 16:08
  Speaker 4: too tough.
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: Oh, I didn't you know? They told me. The last
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: time I did this, I was running against Crooked Hillary,
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: and I mean Hillary.
• 16:21
  Speaker 4: Now, I was running against crooked Hillary, and I did
• 16:23
  Speaker 4: it and I thought it was a roast.
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: So I was told it's a roast.
• 16:27
  Speaker 4: And I had the meanest guy you've ever seen right,
• 16:30
  Speaker 4: stuff up and the man was the room angry. Even
• 16:34
  Speaker 4: the cardinal remembers I went overboard, don't you agree, card
• 16:37
  Speaker 4: It was like terrible. And I knew I was in
• 16:40
  Speaker 4: trouble around midway through, because you know, people are not.
• 16:43
  Speaker 4: Even my own side was angry at me. They were
• 16:45
  Speaker 4: saying it's too much. But I did it anyway. I
• 16:49
  Speaker 4: didn't give it him.
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: Campaign.
• 16:53
  Speaker 4: He could take a toll on a family and family life.
• 16:56
  Speaker 4: Although I hear that Kamala and her husband carve out
• 17:00
  Speaker 4: some really beautiful alone time at the end of the
• 17:03
  Speaker 4: day for an intimate dinner just dug her and the
• 17:07
  Speaker 4: teleprompter that she uses quite well, and by the way,
• 17:11
  Speaker 4: she wouldn't have liked this tonight if she was told
• 17:13
  Speaker 4: about no teleprompter. I can't believe I saw a teleprompter.
• 17:17
  Speaker 4: They said, they've never had a teleprompter in the history
• 17:20
  Speaker 4: of this dinner. I told that to the condor, right,
• 17:23
  Speaker 4: and then a telepropter pops up for he must be
• 17:27
  Speaker 4: a very important comedian to get that.
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: They give you one, but not me. How about that one? Come, ah,
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: and you did a good job.
• 17:36
  Speaker 4: Tradition halls that I'm supposed to tell a few self
• 17:40
  Speaker 4: deprecating jokes this evening, So here it goes.
• 17:45
  Speaker 3: Nope, I've got nothing. I've got nothing. There's nothing to say.
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: I guess.
• 17:56
  Speaker 4: I just don't see the point of taking shots at
• 17:58
  Speaker 4: myself when other people have been shooting.
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: At me for a hell of a long time. And
• 18:03
  Speaker 3: they shoot her. You know.
• 18:05
  Speaker 4: They say about presidents, they say that Andrew Jackson was
• 18:10
  Speaker 4: the president that was the most meanly treated. His wife died.
• 18:14
  Speaker 4: She died of heartache. She was heartbroken at the way
• 18:17
  Speaker 4: they treated him. And they say that second was Abraham Lincoln,
• 18:22
  Speaker 4: but he was in charge of Civil War, you know.
• 18:25
  Speaker 4: But those were the two Andrew Jackson up until me.
• 18:29
  Speaker 4: Now they say it's not even close. He's never been
• 18:31
  Speaker 4: a president that's been treated so badly as me, and
• 18:35
  Speaker 4: now people aren't happy about it.
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: But I was treated a little bit rough, but I don't.
• 18:41
  Speaker 4: Mind it somehow, and I think it's just part of
• 18:44
  Speaker 4: the game. I'd like to thank our MC this evening.
• 18:47
  Speaker 4: Jim Gaffigan. Most recently, Jim has been playing Tim Wilson
• 18:52
  Speaker 4: Saturday Night Love and that'll be a very short gig,
• 18:56
  Speaker 4: I hope, Jim. But it was fun while it wasn't it.
• 19:02
  Speaker 3: Let's see how that lasts. It'd better be quick. We
• 19:05
  Speaker 3: don't want him, and you know, I'm not gonna say anymore.
• 19:09
  Speaker 4: But unfortunately Governor Waltz is in here himself. But don't worry,
• 19:13
  Speaker 4: he'll say that he was. He's gonna say he will.
• 19:19
  Speaker 4: I used to think the Democrats were crazy for saying
• 19:22
  Speaker 4: that men have.
• 19:23
  Speaker 3: Periods, but then I met Tim Waltz.
• 19:29
  Speaker 4: The stupid show The View is so bad now that
• 19:33
  Speaker 4: the other day I was watching it and thinking to myself,
• 19:36
  Speaker 4: you know what they really need to bring.
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: Rosie O'Donnell back. That show is bad. Those people are bad.
• 19:44
  Speaker 4: I know every one of them, and they are bad
• 19:47
  Speaker 4: news I want to tell you, and it doesn't do
• 19:50
  Speaker 4: very well either. I always like to say, you know,
• 19:52
  Speaker 4: ratings are very important. When they don't do well, it
• 19:54
  Speaker 4: doesn't do very well. As I look around the DAIS,
• 19:57
  Speaker 4: I see all of the usual specs, for instance, Mayor Adams.
• 20:02
  Speaker 4: I'd like to poke some fun at Eric, but I'm
• 20:04
  Speaker 4: going to be nice. I just want to be nice
• 20:06
  Speaker 4: because I know what it's like to be persecuted by
• 20:09
  Speaker 4: the DOJ for speaking out against open borders. We were persecuted, Eric,
• 20:15
  Speaker 4: I was persecuted, and so are you.
• 20:17
  Speaker 3: Eric. The mayor's dietary restrictions are well known.
• 20:21
  Speaker 4: But I've got to say I've never met a person
• 20:24
  Speaker 4: who's a vagan who liked Turkey so much.
• 20:27
  Speaker 3: There's something about him with Turkey.
• 20:29
  Speaker 4: I just found that out today, and I haven't been
• 20:31
  Speaker 4: in New York that much.
• 20:34
  Speaker 3: I don't let it. Bet you're gonna win. Eric. We
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: have another former New York City mayor with.
• 20:39
  Speaker 4: Us, frankly, easily the worst in our history.
• 20:46
  Speaker 3: And it's not Michael that I can tell you.
• 20:49
  Speaker 4: I'm surprised that Bill de Blasia was actually able to
• 20:53
  Speaker 4: make it tonight. To be honest, he was a terrible Mayor,
• 20:56
  Speaker 4: I don't give a shit if this is comedy, and
• 21:00
  Speaker 4: he was.
• 21:00
  Speaker 3: That terrible man. He did a horrible He did a
• 21:04
  Speaker 3: horrible job. That's not comedy, by the way, that's fact.
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: But unlike the rest of New York, at least Bill
• 21:12
  Speaker 3: doesn't have to worry about the criminals. They owe him big.
• 21:17
  Speaker 3: He let them get away with a lattice stuff.
• 21:19
  Speaker 4: Well, I had better wrap up because Mayor Adams told
• 21:22
  Speaker 4: me earlier that I needed to make this one very quick,
• 21:25
  Speaker 4: especially the city has reserved this room for a large
• 21:29
  Speaker 4: group of illegal aliens coming in from Texas.
• 21:33
  Speaker 3: That's right.
• 21:33
  Speaker 4: They've reserved many rooms, many rooms, a lot of rooms.
• 21:37
  Speaker 3: Too many rooms.
• 21:38
  Speaker 4: But in all seriousness, it's an honor to be here
• 21:40
  Speaker 4: to support the city and the community. It's a great
• 21:44
  Speaker 4: community that I love. I've been here a long time
• 21:47
  Speaker 4: and I love it. And then it's going to make
• 21:49
  Speaker 4: a big comeback, and I'm going to help it make
• 21:51
  Speaker 4: a comeback. I'm going to win and I'm going to
• 21:52
  Speaker 4: make a comeback. We're going to turn this thing around.
• 21:58
  Speaker 4: And I want to pay tribute to a really incredible man,
• 22:01
  Speaker 4: a man who was a tremendous politician and actually the
• 22:05
  Speaker 4: fact that he was Catholic. Was it probably did him
• 22:09
  Speaker 4: and right it probably nobody knows for sure, but uh,
• 22:13
  Speaker 4: he was a great guy, al Sabeth a great guy.
• 22:15
  Speaker 4: Everyone says it, happy warrior. I've said before that, I'll
• 22:20
  Speaker 4: say it again. I'll say it again as many times
• 22:22
  Speaker 4: as I have to, directly to the mayor and the governor.
• 22:25
  Speaker 4: If I have the honor to be elected next month,
• 22:30
  Speaker 4: we're going to see what happens. It's happening so fast.
• 22:33
  Speaker 4: But if I have the honor, I look forward to
• 22:35
  Speaker 4: working together to make this city greater than ever before.
• 22:38
  Speaker 3: We're going to do that.
• 22:39
  Speaker 4: We're going to be we're going to be focused on
• 22:41
  Speaker 4: I'll work with the governor. I'll work with the mayor. Democrats,
• 22:44
  Speaker 4: I will work with them. I work with whoever I
• 22:46
  Speaker 4: have to, and we will even work very hard to
• 22:48
  Speaker 4: bring back the salt tax deduction. We're going to bring
• 22:51
  Speaker 4: it back. We're going to bring it back. We're going
• 22:55
  Speaker 4: to get that thing going. Chuck, Okay.
• 22:58
  Speaker 3: I actually thought about not doing jokes tonight.
• 23:02
  Speaker 4: I was going to come out here and say, listen,
• 23:04
  Speaker 4: our country is doing very badly. This is not about jokes.
• 23:08
  Speaker 4: And then some persons said, you have to do jokes.
• 23:10
  Speaker 4: I said, I don't want to. There's nothing funny about
• 23:13
  Speaker 4: what's happening to our country. And I actually meant that
• 23:16
  Speaker 4: I was going to do that, but they convinced me
• 23:18
  Speaker 4: to say some of the things I said tonight.
• 23:21
  Speaker 3: I don't know if they were funny or not.
• 23:23
  Speaker 4: But A you think this is easy standing up here
• 23:27
  Speaker 4: and doing this in front of half a room that
• 23:29
  Speaker 4: hates my gut said, the other half loves me.
• 23:34
  Speaker 3: Half of us love me.
• 23:35
  Speaker 4: Well, maybe it's I think seventy five percent love me,
• 23:40
  Speaker 4: but I actually I did think about that. And our
• 23:45
  Speaker 4: country is doing very badly with respect to its open
• 23:49
  Speaker 4: borders and inflation crushing things happening in the Middle East
• 23:54
  Speaker 4: and Ukraine. It's so sad to see what's happening in Ukraine.
• 23:57
  Speaker 3: Wow.
• 23:58
  Speaker 4: I had a lot of people from very religious people
• 24:01
  Speaker 4: come up to me tonight from Ukraine and they're asking
• 24:05
  Speaker 4: me for help. So sad to see so many people
• 24:09
  Speaker 4: have been killed in Ukraine. And we're going to get it.
• 24:11
  Speaker 4: We're going to get it settled up if we win.
• 24:14
  Speaker 4: As I'm president, they're lecked. I'm going to get that done.
• 24:16
  Speaker 4: I'm going to do it before we ever get back.
• 24:18
  Speaker 4: We have to get it stopped. Too much killing. It's killing,
• 24:22
  Speaker 4: and all of those cities are coming crashing down, those
• 24:25
  Speaker 4: beautiful golden domes are crashing down on their sides. They're
• 24:30
  Speaker 4: so sad to see. The whole thing is so sad.
• 24:32
  Speaker 4: So we're gonna be for all those people. There's so
• 24:34
  Speaker 4: many people came up to the days and religious people
• 24:38
  Speaker 4: from Ukraine, and I'm gonna say, and I told them,
• 24:40
  Speaker 4: don't worry.
• 24:41
  Speaker 3: We're going to get it stopped. It's too bad it
• 24:43
  Speaker 3: ever started. Should have never started, it wouldn't have started.
• 24:47
  Speaker 3: But we're going to have our country respected again.
• 24:51
  Speaker 4: We're going to make sure that it's respected, and we're
• 24:53
  Speaker 4: going to go out and do very good things for
• 24:54
  Speaker 4: ourselves as a.
• 24:55
  Speaker 3: Country and for the world.
• 24:58
  Speaker 4: These they're challenging time for beautiful USA. But I'm committed
• 25:04
  Speaker 4: to working with every partner here in New York and
• 25:06
  Speaker 4: all across the nation to build an America that once
• 25:10
  Speaker 4: again is.
• 25:10
  Speaker 3: Strong and safe and proud and prosperous and free.
• 25:14
  Speaker 4: We're going to make sure together we can create a
• 25:17
  Speaker 4: future defined by great ambitions and grand achievements that once
• 25:22
  Speaker 4: again inspires the dreams of our children, brings back the
• 25:25
  Speaker 4: American dream. You don't hear about the American dream anymore.
• 25:28
  Speaker 4: We're going to make it possible for them to have
• 25:31
  Speaker 4: the American dream. This is a very religious evening to me,
• 25:35
  Speaker 4: it really is. It represents so much. My sister was
• 25:41
  Speaker 4: somebody that loved the church and gave to the church.
• 25:45
  Speaker 4: The Cardinal knew that I had a certain priest that
• 25:47
  Speaker 4: she thought was incredible, right for a certain very very
• 25:51
  Speaker 4: fine man that she thought was incredible. Having recently myself
• 25:57
  Speaker 4: survived two assassination attempts.
• 26:02
  Speaker 3: I have a chart that went down to the right.
• 26:04
  Speaker 4: Fortunately I looked at my old time favorite piece of paper,
• 26:08
  Speaker 4: but it went down and I looked to the right.
• 26:10
  Speaker 3: And I said, you know, was that luck? What was
• 26:13
  Speaker 3: that luck? Or was that God that did that? And
• 26:15
  Speaker 3: I think it was God that did that. I do agree,
• 26:20
  Speaker 3: But I.
• 26:20
  Speaker 4: Have a very fresh Cardinal, I have a very fresh
• 26:22
  Speaker 4: appreciation for how blessed we are by God's providence and
• 26:27
  Speaker 4: his divine mercy. I mean, that was something I was
• 26:29
  Speaker 4: not supposed to be here tonight.
• 26:32
  Speaker 3: That I can tell you.
• 26:33
  Speaker 4: So, with God's help, I know there is nothing that
• 26:37
  Speaker 4: cannot be achieved. We can achieve so much good with
• 26:40
  Speaker 4: this country and get together and unify. I want to
• 26:43
  Speaker 4: thank the Al Smith Foundation for its noble work, and
• 26:47
  Speaker 4: I want to express my tremendous gratitude to the Catholic community.
• 26:52
  Speaker 4: It's a great community. It's a community I've gotten along
• 26:55
  Speaker 4: with all my life. I tell you when I was
• 26:58
  Speaker 4: when I was president, I was in the yeah Oval
• 27:01
  Speaker 4: office that I got a call from the Cardinal and
• 27:04
  Speaker 4: he said, we need help.
• 27:05
  Speaker 3: It was during the chinavirus. I wanna be accurate when
• 27:08
  Speaker 3: I describe it. And he said, we need help.
• 27:12
  Speaker 4: Our schools are in devastating shape. They needed much more
• 27:17
  Speaker 4: than a billion I won't even tell you the number,
• 27:19
  Speaker 4: but much more than a billion dollars.
• 27:21
  Speaker 3: But I've known the community, and I've known that the schools.
• 27:25
  Speaker 3: I knew that.
• 27:25
  Speaker 4: I know so many people that were educated in the
• 27:27
  Speaker 4: Catholic school system and they are great and they just
• 27:31
  Speaker 4: speak with it like with love, much more so than
• 27:33
  Speaker 4: almost any system that I've seen.
• 27:36
  Speaker 3: And he said, Sir, we have uh a big problem.
• 27:39
  Speaker 4: We need a number of billions of dollars or we're
• 27:44
  Speaker 4: gonna have to close down the New York school system,
• 27:46
  Speaker 4: the whole system in New York.
• 27:49
  Speaker 3: And I said, give me fifteen minutes. I think I
• 27:51
  Speaker 3: can find it. And we gave him billions of dollars,
• 27:54
  Speaker 3: and you know what, he stayed open and they thrived.
• 27:57
  Speaker 3: And to this day I hear you did just about
• 28:00
  Speaker 3: the best job there is an education.
• 28:03
  Speaker 4: So and that was always an honor, that was old
• 28:08
  Speaker 4: and every time he sees me, he says, thank you
• 28:10
  Speaker 4: very much. I said, I know what you're talking about.
• 28:12
  Speaker 4: But we worked together. We were a good partnership.
• 28:14
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 28:14
  Speaker 4: We got that money in about fifteen minutes, billions and
• 28:19
  Speaker 4: it was put to very good use. But I just
• 28:21
  Speaker 4: want to thank everybody. There's a special evening. It's a
• 28:25
  Speaker 4: very serious evening. I think we have some serious problems in.
• 28:29
  Speaker 3: The world, but they're going to get solved and we're
• 28:32
  Speaker 3: going to make America great again. And thank you very much,
• 28:34
  Speaker 3: and God bless you all. Thank you, thank you very much.
