stopping attacks and catching terrorists. as an intelligence professional, as an analyst i can also say that i cannot establish the cause and effect between the application of those the yankees and what an individual simply provided. for individuals who are not subjected to those eits to give up information, from individuals who subjected to those they gave up a lot of information as well. cause-and-effect is something i cannot establish. what i take all that into account and look at what happened to the agency and the difficulties we endured as a result of the aftermath, and some people's selective memory about what they were briefed on and what they had countenanced, to take into account what -- at the same time i personally believe that we can fulfill our counterterrorism responsibilities and not resort to those eits. so when i've been asked if the next president directed me or

the cia to carry out waterboarding, what would i do the sum of people misrepresent said i would resign. i would resign. i would have to be fired by any president before, i would not agree to that end they would have to remove me. i want to make sure i'm doing what i can to protect the men and women of the cia that sacrifice more than most americans could even imagine in terms of what they do for this country. i have an obligation to that and that's what i really believe i have the best job in the world. that's why people here at ins i buy your very presence signal your interest in doing what you can with the agency, for the rest of the intelligence community. that is critically important because cia officers will open up the papers and see all the things that they reportedly are doing, and their misdeeds. they don't serve as cia officers, nsa offices because of

the accolades and tickertape parade. they serve silently and selfishly, selflessly in order to ensure that they can contribute to our national sense. i am not currently more do i ever intend to direct cia officers to engage in those types of techniques as long as i am director. >> john, thank you so much oil candor and for your completeness of.

congratulated donald trump but stop short of giving his endorsement or donald trump after the speech tweeted wow, ted cruz got booed off the stage. didn't honor the pledge i saw his speech two hours early on that i can speak anyway. no big deal. here's last night's speech from senator ted cruz. >> please welcome united statese senator ted cruz of texas. [cheers and applause] >> thank you.

[applause]k you, >> thank you, and god bless each and everyone of you. heidi and i are so honored to join you here in cleveland where lebron james just led an incredible comeback victory, and i am convinced america is going to come back, too. [applause] i want to congratulate donald trump on winning the nomination

last night. [cheers and applause] and like each of you, i want to, be the principles that ourthaty party believes prevail in november. conves and applause] conventions are times of excitement, but given the events of the last few weeks i hope you'll allow me a moment to taln you about what's really at stake. just two weeks ago a nine yearnl old girl named caroline was sme, having a care free texas summer. swimming in the pool, playing with friends, doing all the things i have a child might do. like most children, she relied,

upon the love that she received from her mom, heidi, and her dad, a police sergeant named michael smith. that is until he became one of the five police officers gunnedf down inin dallas.father was a day her father was murdered, caroline gave him a hug and a a kiss as kiss as he left for work, but as they parted her dad asked herr d something he had not asked before. what if this is the last timeeys you ever kiss or hug me? later, as she thought of herathr fallen father and that lastd tht heartbreaking las hundred, caroe broke down into tears. how could anything ever be okay again? michael smith was a former army ranger who spent three decades s

with the dallas policepent department. i have with no idea who he voteo in the last election or what he thought about this one, but his life was a testament to devotion. [applause] he protected the very protesters who mocked him because he loved his country and his fellow man. his work gave new meaning to that line from literature, to die of love is to live by it. [applause] as i thought about what i wanted to say tonight, michael smith's

story weight on my heart. maybe that's because his is becs daughter caroline is about thete same age as my eldest daughter, and happens to share the same name. it's because i thought the video of that dear, sweet childr choking back sobs as she remembered her daddy's last question to her.. maybe it's because we live in a world where so many others have had their lives destroyed by evil in places like orlando, and paris, and nice, and baton rou rouge. maybe it's because of the simple question itself.mple quest what if this right now is ourth lastri time? our last moment to do something for our families, and our country? did we live up to the values we eay we believe?o al r did we do all we really could?

that's what elections should be about. that's why you andatwhy you an e you devoted so much timean and sacrifice to this campaign. we are fighting not for one particular candidate or one ompaign, but because each of us wants to build to tell our kids and grandkids, our own that we caroline's, but we did our best for their future and our fo country. [applause]sa] [chanting] u.s.a. u.s.a. >> america is more than just a landmass between two oceans. american is an ideal., a simp bt a simple yet powerful ideal.fre freedom matters.

[applause] for much of human historyry government power has been the unavoidable constant in life. ople obe government decrees and the people of day, but not here. we have no team or queen. we have no dictator. we the people constrain government. [cheers and applause] our nation is exceptional because it was built on the five most beautiful and powerful words in the english language, i want to be free. [cheers and applause]een

never has that message been more needed than today.today. we stand here tonight a nation divided.partis partisan rancor, anger, even hatred are tearing america apart. and citizens are furious, rightly furious, at a political establishment that cynically breaks its promises and thatand ignores theth will of the peopl. [applause] owe we have to do better. [applaus we all our fallen heroes more than that. [applause] now, of course, obama and clinton will also tell you that they care about our children's future, and i want to believe them but there is a profoundr

difference in our two parties vision for the future. [applause] there is is the part of is the part that thinks isis is a jv respo team, that respond to the death of americans in by ghazi byskin, asking what difference does it make? and that thinks it's possible to make a deal with iran which celebrates its holidays, death to america day, and death toand israel day. [booing] my friends, this is madness. president obama is a man whoo does everything backwards. he wants to close guantánamo bay and open up our borders.ay he exports jobs and importsand t

terrorists.s enough is enough. [applause] and i am here to tell you there is a better vision for our future. i returned to freedom. -- i return to freedom.

[applause] new york different y than iowa. [applause] that's the way it's supposed to be, diversity. [applause] if not, what's the point of having states to begin with?

[applause] now, hillary clinton believes that government should make virtually every choice in youreh life. [booing] education, health care, edution marriage, speech, all dictated out of washington. [booing]but sothing po but something powerful is happening. we've seen it in both parties. we've seen in the united kingdom unprecedented brags about to brt leave the european union. [applause] voters are all born mentally rejecting the political establishment, and overwhelmingly rejecting big government.

[applause] >> sergeant in the army, right?

>> whenever someone begins a new job rejoins a new organization, they size up the people to identify who the real leaders of the group are, people you might want to emulate someday, people who need to learn something. after a few years, he started looking for new people coming in here decides that not. who are the potential leaders? who are there people you can trust up the mantle of his ability going forward? when i joined the assembly in 1979, i met with a tall, good-looking articulate guide. he was very friendly, very bright, very articulate and kind of took me under his wing and i learned a lot from him about policy and politics. a few years later, and other tall good-looking articulate guy

from suffolk county appeared on the scene and it didn't take me very long to figure out that this guy was going to be calm a true leader and advocate people in the state of new york. both of these men were john flanagan. i think you know the story. this is one case where my ex but patience were far outpaced by the individual in the case where for many of us, where the student far exceeded the teachers. john flanagan has served 16 years in the eight assembly. he was in 2002 to the senate. he has continuously over that career advocated for tax relief for the people of this state, for budget reform, for applicable funding and meaningful accountability in education, respected health care for all, and partially women and children and to improve the

overall quality of life for the people of ours they. it is my honor and privilege to introduce to you a great republican, a dynamic leader and our good friend, senator john flanagan. [applause] >> thank you. thank you very much. i am humbled. i am humbled because tony cassell has been a good friend and someone who is in a mentor from the were so many years. i have the good fortune of sitting next to him in the new york state each of my nature in his good buddy and my good friend listen passed away. you have the opportunity to learn a lot from people through all walks of life. i'm very grave old to tony

casale and i want to thank chairman cox. i want to thank the chairman for being a gentleman, diplomat, arden, true republican for his entire life and by extension i want to thank everyone affiliated with the new york republican committee and all of you who are here today. there's four speakers. i know this. as much as i might have a little bit of self evidence, most of you are here to hear the fourth speaker and that is totally fine because we will have the nation's mayor here and that would be fantastic for the new york delegation. this is announced ending turn out. i'm going to go through a couple of basic things. we were talking about this. i am a born and bred new yorker, 55 years old. maybe i didn't know when i was two or three, but i've been a republican all my life.

[applause] sometimes people say why do you keep saying that? we are at a point where we have to stop apologizing. you have to stop dancing around and that we need to stand up and be accountable. i will tell you a couple of basic things as a public servant, as an elected official and as a leader in the party. i am a new yorker. i'm a republican. i'm proud working government. i'm proud to be affiliated with everybody in this room. when the time came, we had a whole discussion about who would be a nursing home for president. let's quickly go through that procedure. 17 candidates, one person prevailed and he deserves credit and accolades and praise for his efforts. [applause] and i want to talk about new york and i want to talk about new york and the state and in

particular. i'm also going to make this unequivocally clear. i am supporting donald trump for president and i'm going to do so with diplomacy, with passion, with fervor and doing it in new york style so that when newt gingrich who was here earlier this week talked about winning, and i repeat win in the state of new york, he talked about how to do it from the city, how does our and get out there and get the election one vote at a time. so that is lovely on the to do. having said that, i want to mention a couple of people that are very important to me. he is sitting right here. the gentleman with the knife now enjoying an incredibly strong relationship. joe mandella. joke. [applause]

amazing how much you can learn if you're willing to listen. i pay great attention to the things the chairman said. and i am counting is probably on andersen cooper's show during cnn and all that kind of stuff. our county chairmen and by extension, the gentleman who outside of tony santino represents the largest town in the state of new york, and that is the great chairman at the time of brookhaven, jesse garcia. good to see you here. [applause] you know, as a relatively small town. somewhere around 480,000 people. he does work across long island and across the state of new york. i want to give an honorary spirit award. there were two ladies have had a chance to watch this week. all of you have had the same opportunity. they are both county chairs and they've been on the front row. they've been up, they've been

forthright, progressive, assertive and one of them who is the chair -- i know she is out there somewhere. see let me speak at one of her generous pitch is obviously very passionate on behalf of cooke county. i know she is sitting here somewhere but their hat on. there you go, girl. when they get up on the floor, they make you want to get up and stand up as republicans. we had some incredibly talented and really wonderful people affiliated with their party. having said that, i want to talk about the state of new york in the direction where we are and where we're going. i brought this a thing appear commonly referred to as an ipad. i only have it for one purpose. i have a quote that i want to read.

i want to juxtapose who we are versus the democrats in the state of new york. so this is from a famous novel by charles dickens called a tale of two cities. all of you are familiar with that. the quote goes at this. it was the best of times, it was the worst of times. the age of wisdom come in the age of foolishness with the epoch of belief, and the ethic of incredulity. the season of life, the season of darkness. the spring of hope, the winter of despair. the reason i raised that if they think we are in a crossroads not only in the state of new york, but frankly in the country. let me digress and talk about the national issue for one moment. if you look at the republican platform versus the democratic form, it is night and day. it is black and white and could not be any clearer about what our priorities are. in my humble opinion, the

primary obligation of the federal government has a strong national defense and there is no one, no one better suited to handle that and donald trump and governor pence. so that is on the federal level. [applause] in the state of new york, we have in the last couple of years, we elected a new members to the new york state senate. so where we are and why you all are so important is directionally what kind of society we want to have, what kind of state we want to have and what do we want for children, grandchildren, the next generation of leaders or otherwise however they may be described. i see a number that collects right here. the gray floor leader from new york, john defrancisco. yes, give them a round of applause. [applause] and if you are all really nice stand today, he will wear his red hat inc. and sometime

tonight. senator tom o'mara, senator terrence murphy and a number of other college have been here. ladies and gentlemen, they are the bat phone of the republican party. they are the first string. the reason i raise '-backquote is you can talk about cities. let's talk about the mayor of the city of new york. he does not share our values. he sees himself as a true progressive and i love him for doing that. but his priorities are about different than the ones i have are the people on long island and the people like kathy john and hugh farley, all of our colleagues across the state of new york. it is a whole fundamentally different approach. i'll give you an example. talk about law and order. talk about law enforcement. i am so sick and tired of hearing disparaging comment about people who work in law-enforcement matter what capacity may be. [applause] and guess what?

we have had that as the number one priority for years, years and decades to new york state senate. one small example, mike decided not to run a reelection. he is to carry a bill where we would enhance penalties for corrections officers who were spat upon or assaulted by inmates. you cannot believe the debate and dialogue that has taken place on these issues.

>> whether it's a property tax cap, a spend cap, record increases in aid to education, middle class tax cuts, dealing with things that senator murphy worked on like opioid and heroin addiction, quality of life issues that matter to all new yorkers we've been out front. and now, we're in a campaign season where we need your help. we need your help in a lot of different ways. i said before and i will repeat right now, we are at a crossroads. i have been given an extraordinary privilege and opportunity to serve as the leader of our conference and i can guarranty you this, i will be out all across the state every single day between now and november 8th, because i really believe in who we are and what we're doing and i really

like winning too, like everybody in this room, i really like winning. [applause] so when you're asked about priorities, let me just close on this. i really want to thank chairman cox again for his leadership and i want to highlight, we have several different candidates. we have, the good news we have eight members who have no opponents this year. so god knows we'll ask all of them to get out there on the trail to help other candidates but out in western new york, chris jacobs running for senate out there. fantastic guy, outstanding reputation, excellent phamly, great background, county clerk, proven very getter, got four lines, he will win. you heard it today, chris will be the next senator out in western new york. [applause] and all of our incumbent, they will be in good solid shape. tom is in first term.

doing very well in the town of islip and brookhaven. we don't have some things to worry but but we have tight races. let's talk in westchester county, julie is outstanding. the chairman is here and i know he has great affection for her. she is really going to do very well. and all of the people that i'm speaking about, they have all had stellar private records. they're now getting into the fray in terms of public service. julie already an elected official. but you watch, she's out there, she inherently likeable. that is a key seat. that will be a swing seat. everyone says, westchester county, you can't prevail there. yes, we can. now you go to long island, mr. mon dell knows this quite well, we have strong candidates on long island. chris mcgrath is running again. [applause] and as i said each of these people, they have all been very

successful in their own right. chris is a very hard worker. we did not prevail in the special election. nobody in this room likes that especially me. chris is out there with the chairman and mr. san tino, and mr. cairo and good people in nassau county. chris will do very well. i think in large part because we'll have an excellent turnout. now in the other seat, jack martins is running for congress and he will be the next congressman from that district as you well know. [applause] we have another candidate, by the way, please, i beg your indulgence, i'm mentioning these people because they are the future of the new york state senate and really government in the state of new york. elaine phillips is a mayor, she is elected official in nassau county. she is a fourth degree black belt which is totally cool in and of itself and she and her husband have had very sterling careers as well. so the easy thing fors as the new york state senate, we have

absolutely a-1 level, the top level candidates who are going to be the standard-bearers for the party. as you come out and as we leave here, again i'm going to support donald trump. i'm going to support governor pence. i'm going to support jack martins. everyone of our incumbents and everyone of our challengers, ladies and gentlemen, it is time for all of us to continue to be proud as republicans, get out there, win and it's the old-fashioned way. i told you i have this little ipad. it is a phone call. it is a personal note. getting somebody on the phone, making sure they are out there on election day so we can prevail. i am so honored to be with you and amongst you today. i can't wait for tonight. it will be very exciting as we all know. let's get out of here. let's get back to our great state of new york. let's make sure on november 8th, we prevail with a lot more assembly republicans and new members of the new york state senate.

thank you very much. [applause] >> leader flanagan, their for those really superb remarks. by the way, here are your glasses. and, with your leadership we're going to win and keep the majority in our state senate. [applause] to introduce our next speaker, i want to introduce a man who was a former member of the assembly. he was then elected supervisor of his town in monroe county. he is a long-standing chairman of one of our best county organizations, monroe county republican party. he was elected by his peers in

the region as vice-chair for that region and then by all the vice chairs, the nine vice chairs, all around the state. the first vice-chair, and as part of our councils. he riley -- really appreciate his good advice and council. that is chairman bill ryrik of monroe county. bill? [applause] >> thank you, chairman cox. well, good morning to the new york delegation. wait a second. i there last night by the name of a cruz spoke. good morning new york! i know you can be loud and at the right time. that's for sure. we have so many great leaders in our conference chairs in new york in the republican committees. i'll tell you, one of the great leaders, our great leader is

chairman ed cox. he brings so much to the position. thank you, ed, for all you do. [applause] another great leader of the state of new york is congressman peter king. yep. [applause] every time i hear him speak he is so right and spot-on and he was last night when he talked about cruz, wasn't he? he got it right. and reverend, i wish you the best in your venture to become the mayor of new york city. it is a crime what has happened to new york city under the current mayor. america's mayor, rudy giuliani left that city with lower homicide rate, cleaned up times square and got new york city on the right track. that is america's city. we all can be proud of. i know we'll bring it back under republican leadership in the future. i wish you the best. [applause] when i talk about great leaders, brian cole, leader of republican

assembly conference in new york state. brian kolb is a good leader. i served with brian for 11 years. when i first met him he was colleague and i supported him to become leader and i knew the type of individual he was and type of individual he is. he is outstanding leader. the fact he listens to the members, whether the newest one that got elected or one been there many years, they have always got brian's ear. he will bring ideas to the conference for the whole conference to discuss. we'll bring it out on the floor. many of you may not see unless you sit in the chamber, a lot of liberal democrat legislation that is proposed has been tempered due to brian's leadership and speaking out and raising his voice on behalf of solid republican core issues. he does an outstanding job each and every day. we should be proud of the conference and brought of its leader, brian kolb. i tell you what, not only refer to him as the leader because he will always be my leader, but

the fact, more importantly, i refer to him as good friend. the leader of the republican conference in new york state, brian kolb. [applause] >> thank you. wow, i would say this is probably the largest crowd i ever spoken to at one period of time and you are an impressive group. but i have to say thank you to each and everyone of you. whether you're an elected official, a guest, a committee person, a committee leader, all of you make a difference for us running for the state assembly or for the state senate and all elected officials, whether it is donation of your time, donation of your money. we couldn't be here without each

and everyone of you. and i just want to say, over and over again, thank you, to each and everyone of you and for each and everyone of you being here. it sends a great message about our state. and our state should be very, very proud of its nominee, and the future president of the united states, donald j. trump. [applause] i too would like to start off with a quote. this is by samuel adams. it does not require a majority to prevail but an irate, tireless minority, to set brush fires in people's mind. that quote is posted outside of my office in albany, and it really reflects our conference. the assembly, republican conference. i would first like to recognize those members that are here today.

so if you could hold your applause until i get through the list because we've got a lot of folks here. assemblyman, will barkley, ray walter, assemblyman ed rawl. assembly san chad lubinaci. assembly steve mcglothlin. assemblymen david dipeitro, assembly man, steve rawley. join me with a nice round of applause. [applause] in case you didn't know that was for ed rawl. [cheering] we also have two perspective, and we believe will be two of

our newest members after this fall's election. first of all, in the upper east side, the 73rd assembly district, please welcome and join me in supporting a great lady that is going to be a great assembly woman, rebecca herari. rebecca. [applause] and also from the 144th assembly district, a fine young gentleman that is going to join our team as well, join me in welcoming, mike norris. [applause] senator flanagan had talked about some of those crazy ideas that harbor in the state assembly. our conference, and i'm very proud of their work. governor mike pence said last night, probably most of you

don't know who i am, and he said i'm sure most of you don't know who he is, but we sort of feel the same way at times with the assembly republican conference. i believe we're the best-kept secret in albany and it is because obviously there is such talk with both majorities which is understandable and the governor, but the people in the trenches in our house, the people that really are standing up and pointing out flaws in legislation that is being proposed, or trying to solve crises out in our state is the assembly republican conference and i want to give you a couple of examples. when the safe act was proposed in the state assembly, even though it passed, our conference stood up for over eight hours and debated that bill and its lack of merit and its infringement on our second amendment rights, and i could

not have been prouder of the group of men and women who stood up on behalf of all of us, trying to send a message that didn't get through obviously but certainly more importantly, to let them know that someone is going to stand up for our constitution just like donald j. trump. [applause] a couple of other areas. you know, senator flanagan mentioned education and senator flanagan's right, we do a lot to try to tamp down some of those crazy ideas. but also quite frankly the state senate republicans stop a lot of those crazy ideas ever becoming law. bills that pass in the assembly but don't pass in the senate. governor cuomo's ideas to give free tuition, college tuition to inmates, free college tuition

for illegal aliens, those bills go nowhere in the state senate. [applause] but some of the things that i'm very proud of, you know, several years ago, the governor put in his budget, or i should say, took out of his budget, over $95 million in support for the developmentally disabled community. it was an outrage. on the debate floor on that bill we debated the assembly democrats who say they're the protectors of the average joe. well, they're not. they have got their own political agenda and when you turn your back on the families that need us most, that is outright shameful act. with our debate and efforts

going out to the public afterwards, that funding got restored. [applause] corruption, probably don't know this but back in 2010, 2010, assembly republicans introduced the bill to take away pensions from those convicted, public officials convicted of a crime. if that bill had been passed back in 2010, there's a few folks that wouldn't be getting a public pension that have been convicted of crimes in this state. and we're going to continue to make those fights to make sure that we restore the faith and confidence in all of you and throughout the state and your elected officials in state government. [applause] do assembly republicans make a difference? assemblyman steve mcglothlin,

rants and raves the quite a bit. he is our version of donald trump and we have david and karen lawler and whole bunch of us that really stand up and scream at the top of our lungs when we see something wrong. governor cuomo's administration has been hiding information on the public health and community of ho ask. a falls. it is reprehensible and women and children and families their water being contaminated and the state keeping a big secret. steve mcglothlin single-handedly championed cause, calling on public hearings, calling on the governor to release information. guess what? they will finally have public hearings and hopefully now we'll finally get the answers for those residents of the surrounding areas of the hosic

falls. [applause] i've been doing this work now for 16 years in the state assembly. i own my own business. i've been a local elected official, been on school board, and people ask me, why do you do this? you're in the minority. well, you know, i'm used to being outspent, but not outworked. i could care less if hillary clinton has got more money than donald trump because he is going to outwork her, and he is going to resonate with the people of this great nation because they're looking for a leader that is going to stand for something. it is, i can't even comprehend in this country how someone, because they didn't have an intent to commit a crime, is not held accountable for that crime.

and our department of justice failed us. [applause] so, when i tell people why i do this, it is because i really care. john flanagan really cares. all the senators really care. the assembly members really care. and it is tough work. and i know especially when confidence is down with the state government, there are some rankings we're not very proud of that we have to fix but ladies and gentlemen, we're working hard every single day to try to fix these issues on behalf of all of us and i couldn't be more proud to serve with the members of my conference, the men and women, because we are continually outspent but never outworked. last three cycles, assembly democrats spent over $18 million on their races. we've tried to keep up with six

million over those same three cycles. but they never outwork us and we still win races. and every time redistricting comes along, with a swipe of a pen they take away four or five, seven seats. and we get back on our feet again and go after the seats just like we'll do this fall because it is important. the values and principles that this party stands for is important. and we have to -- we have members from buffalo to long island, including the city. we need to add more seats in the city and we will. but quite frankly it is going to be the result of help from all of you, and people back home. i couldn't be more proud to be a new yorker. i couldn't be more proud to be a new york state assemblyman. i couldn't be prouder to share the work with the men and women in our conference and in state government. because quite frankly it's a privilege. i can't believe that a guy from

small town, population 3,000, is standing on the stage in front of all of you right here in the city of cleveland, and one of the biggest stages the world will ever see with our convention and it just humbles me to be here with you. it is just an amazing feeling to say i am part, a small part of trying to help our country get better and our state get better. i just think it is one of the best moments i will ever relish in to be here sharing the stage with john flanagan, with peter king, with rudy giuliani, but most importantly are sharing the stage with each and everyone of you. because that's the energy we get from you because that makes us work harder. so thank you from the bottom of my heart for all your support. [applause]

>> leader kolb, thank you very much. to introduce our next speaker i want to briefly mention, a young airborne lieutenant, i learn i very quickly it was the sergeants that run the army. as a lawyer who represented the sergeants organization in new york city for many, many years, i understand they are people who run police department in new york city and made it such an effective organization and the man who is going to come up here to introduce our next speaker is a former infantry sergeant. he is a man who has, is,

chairman of one of our greatest counties. he is a winning chairman, time and time again. winning local officials. putting in office county execs, state senators, members of the assembly, members of congress. a mainstay of the republican party. a man who over the years time and time again has produced for the republican party of new york, who was my predecessor, took the state party through its toughest years, after, after, george pataki left as governor. and that man, you know him very well, a great republican. former sergeant in the infantry, joe mondello. [applause]

>> first of all, i want to thank ed cox for giving me this opportunity to introduce congressman king. but before i get to that i want to tell you how i know how difficult it is to put on a national convention breakfast and put it all together. i know how difficult it is and i really want to recognize chairman ed cox for the great job that he has done to get it done. [applause] thank you, guys.

i would also be remiss if i did not mention, one of my favorite people in life, who is here with us, and i just love him. i had the privilege of working with him on a number of occasions. that is of course america's mayor, rudy giuliani. rudy? [applause] i want to thank you for letting me do this introduction because for 45 years i've been putting up with this man's bad italian jokes. [laughter]. and this is going to give me my opportunity to get back. and i -- [applause] i had planned to really take him apart at this breakfast but my wife won't let me and she's here and she kind of likes him and i don't know why but that's the way it is. you know years ago i remember

peter coming to me and saying that you know, he wanted to serve and i said that he would be much better serving as a waiter than -- [laughter]. but he insisted on running for congress and so he did. and he was successful. ladies and gentlemen, it has been a real pleasure to have a man of his stature in my county and working with me on a day-to-day basis. he is truly a wonderful person. he's a person that has a passion for people, and that, my friends, is something that not everybody has. he wants to help people. he enjoys that. that's what he does. i could talk about the previous offices that he has held and the fact that he is notre dame

graduate, notre dame law school as well as undergrad. he is just an absolutely wonderful person and i'm so proud to be able to introduce and bring up to say some remarks, congressman peter t. king. [applause] >> thank you. thank you very much. actually, joe, it is not so much, you go on a lot, mention italian jokes, made a few irish jokes over the years, it is hugging. the i can't handle it. hugging, kissing. we irish guys keep our distance you know. but what can i tell you. linda, thank you for sticking up for me. i thank somebody in the mon dell low family loves me.

rosemary sends her best. compassion putting up with this guy. very seriously i want to thank joe for his support and friendship over the years. he has been a great friend. he and i were town councilman. we were ma'am battles on the same side and true warrior for what is right. i would say without equivocation i wouldn't be in congress without joe. he won very, very tough races. bottom foot soldiers out in the street. i'm not a wealthy guy. joe's not a wealthy guy. we appreciate that. all of us appreciate the great job the county leaders do throughout the state, county committee do throughout the state, the party workers, those who donate to the campaign, you're the ones who allow us to serve you and fight for you. thank you all of you from the bottom of my heart and particularly joe mondelo, for his support over the year and a great american, a great friend and grade leader. joe, thank you very much.

[applause] let me thank chairman ed cox for giving me the opportunity to speak and speak after brian kolb and brian flanagan, and america's mayor, rudy giuliani. the speech rudy gave the other night, that is the highlight of the convention. that was absolutely amazing. that is the rudy we've come to know over the years. [applause] now, michael faulkner, he gave a great speech but you know i'm glad you're praying for ted cruz. i'm not, i got to be honest with you. i am praying for the people of texas who have to put up with that guy. [laughter] [applause] but we irish guys carry grudges. maybe i go to your church and teach me how to be a little more cam passionate and feeling. i don't have it in me right now. maybe rudy will show me some of that love. he is a very loving, caring guy too.

i don't know. [laughter]. so, let me also acknowledge, i know that chris collins has been here this week, lee sevvin has been here. tom reed. i don't know if they're here this morning but great members of congress but we're also joined by a really, really great guy, from staten island and brooklyn, congressman dan donovan who really added so much to the new york delegation. [applause] i'm saying good things about dan donovan. let me tell you other side of dan donovan. last year after 14 years of fighting hard, we finally, finally got the 9/11 health care bill that takes care of cops and firefighters and construction workers injured at ground zero. [applause] now that passed in december of last year. and dan had been elected in the special election in may of that year. so on the day it finally passed and we defeated people like ted

cruz who tried to stop the bill, i go to dan, dan, what a great day. yeah, but how come it took you 14 years. i have only been here six months and we got it done. there is my friend dan. seriously he is a tremendous, tremendous asset. can't tell you what a great friend he is. he is guy taking tough decisions facing a onslaught from special interests and media. dan, thank you. say one thing about ted cruz. i'm not trying to be funny about this all of us in many ways you can disagree with donald trump on this issue, that issue the fact he is the nominee of the party. you can applaud for that. [applause] and ted cruz ran for president. he made a pledge to support the nominee of the party. last night to me if he is, if he doesn't want to support donald trump, good, stay down in texas. but if you're going to accept prime time television from donald trump and you don't have the decency and manners and the,

just the common decency and goodness to endorse a man who has given you opportunity to speak on national television in prime time, that shows he is a fraud, he is a liar, he is the guy we've come to hate in washington. [cheers and applause] thank you. by the way, that was off the record. but in any event -- [laughter] but apart from donald trump being nominee of the party, on the key issues, national defense, homeland security, defending the police, supreme court appointments, there is no choice between him and hillary clinton. he is clearly, clearly, donald trump is clearly the man that we need to provide leadership for our country. he is the one who will stand by the cops as a son of a former nypd cop, i feel especially

strong about this. there is no moral equivalency between the men and women in blue and those who riot and demonstrate. the fact we have to stand with the police. the police -- [applause] the police in new york and throughout the country have done more to save white lives, black lives, all lives then all those phony talking heads you see on television, all those who try to provoke and be provocateurs. they are the men and women should stand with. no exceptions. don't be like hillary clinton making michael brown who was a criminal, some kind of civil rights hero. that's wrong. [applause] and at a time when isis is killing people overseas, slaughtering people overseas, attempting to kill americans here in this country, where terrorists attacks are on the increase, how anyone can even consider not voting for donald trump and call themselves republican, call themselves someone who really cares about this country, to me that is beyond the pale. also my good friend, bob turner,

former congressman, we need him back in congress. bob, thank you for the job you do. [applause] so i am proud to stand with donald trump. there can be differences. it's a large country and large party but on key issues, moral issues, the issues of strength, issues of loving our country, it is donald trump by far. i'm proud to stand with donald trump. i'm proud to stand with all of you. thank you all and god bless america. [applause] >> great remarks. to introduce our next speaker, this is a quiet man, a businessman. a man who built up an extraordinary business, laying

pipe all around this country, to carry natural gas and oil, from one part of the country to the other as new york, as not new york, but the country became the leading producer of oil and gas in the world through using latest forms of technology, i met him at a republican national committee finance committee meeting. we talked about new york state. he shares my passion for making new york state business-friendly once again. he has been a mainstay of support for our local officials, for our counties, for our members of the assembly, state senators, congressman, and he is now our elected national committeeman, charlie joyce. [applause]

>> thank you, chairman cox. i inherited this duty late yesterday when, from my conational committee person, jennifer saul, and i'm very, very pleased to be up here in front of you. as chairman cox said, i am quiet. i don't like to be in front of crowds too much but my last speech was four weeks ago in my old high school in a town of 2300. i spoke to 23 graduates. similar situation i guess. [laughter]. so, what i did share with them that they should get involved in this process. they are mostly 18-year-olds that will be involved in the political process for the first time and we desperately need them. we need young leadership, young participation. and i was hardened -- heartened

to hear the trump children and john catsimatidis and will be backbone of our party going forward. my own son casey is here. i'll thrilled to have him share this opportunity with me so. [applause] so it's my privilege to introduce as you have heard several times, referred to as america's mayor but we as new yorkers claim him and cherish him as our mayor. [applause] he's one of the most well-known and well-he respected people, men, in the world especially in the u.s. and for good reason, he walks the talk. look what he did to the city, for the city. it is the same thing that donald trump is going to do for our country. he brought it back from its knees and donald trump will do

the same thing for our country. [applause] tuesday night he lit a fire under this convention that we sorely needed. i read one newspaper article that said he had us frothing at mouth. i guess they are right i was frothing at the mouth because he lit the fire and job for us to keep it burning to november 8th when which elect donald j. trump as our president. [applause] so i'm very proud to introduce our spiker, rudy giuliani and thank you very much. [applause] >> ruddy! >> thank you, thank you.

thank you, very, very much. the only reason i gave a really good speech the other night is simple. when i came out, i looked down, the new york delegation was right in front of me. [laughter] [applause] who, when are we ever in the front? [laughter] i saw joe mondello, saw ed, saw all friendly faces. i said, man, i'm back in brooklyn. [laughter] this isn't cleveland, this is brooklyn. and it made me feel very comfortable that, gosh, i could have said almost anything he would have cheered. [laughter] so i thank you very much. i have to tell you, just what

i'm hearing here this morning, i spoke to several other delegations this morning, yesterday morning about 5:00, the enthusiasm level at this convention is considerably higher than it has been in some time. completely different than it was four years ago. four years ago we had a very dignified and very nice convention but i would call it a buttoned up convention. [laughter] [cheering] this one is wild! [cheering] i just looked at people from arkansas, i don't know, i'm half asleep. they're going crazy. they're jumping up and down. they got funny hats on. they're doing all kinds of crazy things.

people are enthusiastic. i want you, i want you to know that. there is an enthusiasm level here. i think the last time i saw this enthusiasm level is when we had the convention in new york in 2004. and -- [applause] and, and we won that year. we won that year. [cheering] [applause] i don't think you're going to find this next week in philadelphia. i'm going to go one day to the democratic convention. i always go. i'm sort of a sadomasochist. [laughter] but i go to kind of step on their parade you know. i don't think they're, they are going to find this enthusiasm. i'm going to tell you why. because they're kind of fighting for the same old thing.

and the same old thing is really bad. i mean there is nothing new. hillary clinton's been around since before george washington. [laughter] right? i think. i told the people of arkansas, if anybody in arkansas votes for her, you got to be crazy. she doesn't like you. [laughter]. she never likes you. she never wanted to live in arkansas. arkansas, ooh! [applause] but there is an enthusiasm level is going to take us through. i believe this election and i think the person who has got it right is somebody who gets it right sometimes and gets it wrong sometimes and has some. most brilliant ideas in politics

and has a couple ideas that can put you in jail, dick morris. dick morris said this isn't going to be a left-right election like we're used to. this will be insider, outsider election. it is going to be an election about, what do you want? do you want washington as it is, or do you want somebody to totally transform it? if you like it the way it is you will go with the quintessential washington insider. she really should be the quintessential fort leavenworth insider. [cheers and applause] but, she's the, but she's -- oh. joe and i were prosecutors. joe, what do you think? we go back one more time and if trump gets elected we volunteer to try the case? [cheers and applause]

dan, want to help? dan, you will help us? okay. i got to tell you the other night attorney general mukasey spoke, who is my friend for 40 years, 50 years, like pete king is, and we tried congressman podell and convicted him back in 1974, for a $40,000 bribe. i'm not embarrassed of that conviction. [laughter] a measely 40 grand! this woman has taken millions! she has taken millions. i put people in jail for 10,000, 20,000, 30,000-dollar bribes. i think i'm going to have to go to confession. [laughter] this is absurd what's going on in this country, it's absurd!

it is really sick what the clintons have been allowed to get away with, from the time that they were shaking people down in little rock, you had to go to the rose law firm if you wanted to deal with bill. and hillary was working for the rose law firm, except, she had an interesting job. it was one where you didn't show up. and if you wanted a contract, with the state of arkansas, everybody in arkansas knew you went through hillary. so they started as crooks. i have advised donald, you know, kind of low on the name-calling but "crooked hillary," is certainly a description of their time in little rock. then they went from the small-time to the big time, washington. hundreds of thousands. now we can go for the millions.

we had selling of lincoln bedroom. remember that one? the democrats love to attack us for a war on women. you know over the last 20 years the biggest war on women has been conducted is by bill clinton. [applause] bill clinton, our predator president. with his wife who enabled him. aided him. covered up for him. and headed the bimbo squad. you've seen the movie, what is that, color with john travolta? you think it is true? they had all these women.

they had to go scare them to keep their mouths shut. hillary knew about all that. if monica lewinsky hadn't come up with the dress they would have destroyed her, they would have made her into some kind of an insane person. this is a woman who cares about the rights of women? >> no! >> do you think i'm stupid? , hillary? you think i believe that you care about the rights of women? when you cover up the sexual predatory actions of your husband, that would get any executive in america fired in two seconds and we put some of them in jail! [applause] you don't care about women. you don't care about feminism. you don't even care about your own dignity! all you care about is power! clinton power.

and you have a media that has covered up for you and they should be ashamed of themselves! [applause] that is only one reason she shouldn't be president. [laughter] i'll be brief on the others because we could be here until after donald's speech tonight. the national security case against her is so strong, that i have convicted people on 10% of the amount of evidence that we have against her. she violated, and i have them all in my little book.

i gave it to sean hannity, 13 months ago. then every couple weeks i update it with new crimes we figured out she committed. we're up to 15. my indictment which attorney general mukasey and i once actually wrote for fun is about 24 pages long. but i will give you one statute, clear as heck. the director of the fbi, jim comey said, she was extremely careless in handling national security information. the united states code eight united states code section 791 makes it a federal felony to be grossly negligent in handling of national security. the definition of gross negligent, both the in law dictionary and a number of cases is, is being extremely careless. [applause]

if it were me, if it were congressman king, who has had to deal in his life with an enormous amount of top secret material from being chairman of the homeland security committee, if it were dan donovan, it were anyone else they would have been prosecuted. general petraeus was prosecuted. for less. why wasn't she prosecuted? now, we can't do anything about that, yet. if donald trump becomes president, the statute of limitations will not have run. there is no double jeopardy because she has never been put on trial. we can reopen the case. >> go get her! [applause] so, she is going to be running

to try to prevent, getting an orange jumpsuit. because i don't even want to go into the foundation case which i think is even stronger. sometime read clinton cash, and make a little chart of all the times they got millions of dollars. the foundation, clinton's speaks fees and all the things she did. what she did for ubs when she told the enturnnal revenue service to back off a case against ubs. and ubs gave clinton a $1.2 million speaking fee! she, she took money for helping to get nuclear material into russia. it's ridiculous. it is patently ridiculous. the foundation is a racketeering

enterprise. [applause] it is a racketeering enterprise. the rico statute, i was first one to use the racketeering statute for public corruption. i did it against most of ed koch's administration. that's. well ed wayne paying attention while they were stealing millions. so, there we have hillary. you can't vote for her. you can't. i mean you just can't. you can't put a criminal in the white house. you can't do it. now we have donald trump. donald trump is a man who has had enormously tremendous success in building great buildings, great projects, great businesses and great golf courses. and dan and i love him for that, right? right.

and, of course he has had failures. so has every great man. abraham lincoln lost the election for the senate two years before he became president of the united states. and and, michael bloomberg was fired by solomon brothers. best thing had happened to him. if he stayed at solomon brothers he would only be a millionaire. when he found bloomberg he payment a multibillionaire! probably didn't think it was a favor at the time but best thing that ever happened to him. the point is all great men and women have some failures along the way, and what happens is, they learn from them and become better. like, like, steve jobs who got fired by apple. came back, put apple back together
