rudy! thank you for forgiving me. rudy, you're on. >> i'm a forgiving guy. thank you, don folk. first off, i want to say thank you, mayor london breed, for your leadership during these amazing times how you step with a lot of courage and as a san franciscan, the step forward during this pandemic and to make things happen, respect and solute to you. you know, i'm born and raised in san francisco, but i'm not only born and raised in san francisco, i'm born on this block. four blocks up. my family came from the philippines in the '60s. this neighborhood right here has a 100 year history of filipinos and this is actually famed after the cultural philippine zone. i'm one of them. i run my organization united players and another organization that's been running for over 50 years west bay and it's neighborhood serving our current filipino families and immigrants. project right here is a win-win here in san francisco. but, if you look at now. and it wasn't built overnight. if you look now for our people to be stable, for our people to not be moved to be placed in a place where not only

shift in this country, particularly within the republican party, in the 20 years since 9/11, than rudyember 10th, new york could not wait for that to happen, because that would start the clock on the rudy giuliani rule of new york city. but on september 11th, he became america's mayor. he ran for president himself. now today he's facing disbarment for spreading so many lies about the election for trump. >> talking about shifting tides, that's certainly an extreme example. but one thing that is strikingly different in the last 20 years, giuliani and any number of people would be caught up in the impact of this, and that's social media. the impact of social media. everyone has been talking, jonathan and eugene, about radicalization. part of that is a product of social media spreading radical words and ideas with ever-increasing speed, and no filter. and after, in the leadup to the civil war, the telegraph did the same thing. spreading news, spreading dissension. it was ripe and open for the kind of use we're seeing social media be put to today. >> you know, we've got two minutes left. i

there's the cellphone used by then-new york city mayor rudy guiliani, as he helped his city respond.ngry aftermath of 9/11 is reflected, too. this sikh turban belonged to balbir singh sodhi, who was murdered in a hate crime, mistakenly targeted as a muslim in the days after the attacks. other powerful objects came from the donations ofoved ones. new york fire chief joseph pfeifer was one of the initial commanders on scene at the world trade center, directing firefighters up into the burning towers. one of those firemen was his brother, kevin. >> and we stood there and we looked at each other, wondering if each of us was going to be okay. and then i told him to go up, to evacuate and rescue people in the building. and that was the last time i saw my brother kevin. >> brangham: his brother's body was discovered in the smoldering wreckage days later, along with kevin's "officer's tool," an implement used to wedge open doors. >> we knew it was him because, on the back of his bunker gear, it had his name. and lying next to him was his officer's tool. and they put him in a stretcher along

a lot of this came before we saw rudy giuliani and sydney powell out there spreading these things.w york timetimes" says i deposition related to this, rudy giuliani says he never saw the memo. there is clear open source stuff and very obvious it was easy to debunk this. this has not stopped former president trump from still trying to spread all of this information, just days ago wrote a new letter to georgia secretary of state brad raffensperger asking him to overturn the election in georgia. it says i would respectfully request that your department check this and if true along with many other claims of voter fraud and voter irregularities start the process of decertifying the election, or whatever the correct legal remedy is and announce the true winner. he was on cnn earlier this morning to react to that letter. here's what he had to say. >> i look at his letters as a plea for attention. he knows he's lost. he's been told that multiple times by a lot of people. but at the end of the day, that information he talked about, we open up an investigation, we have lots of investigations
