And that was at a time when that had a real kind of emotional resonance, both within new york and nationally. It was a historic day for new york and a triumphant moment for the biggest black population of any american city. Quiet quiet rudy very quickly seems to have made the decision to embrace the sort of racism that a lot of his party believed in. White power i saw god out on the block today he was darker than the preachers say with a teardrop tattooed on his face and dirt in his fingers i heard angels when he laughed the way that people do when they have known true pain for his sins i dont know who to blame what choice was he given . In this world that were livin when i see you, i see you i see love i see love i see america i see love when i see you, i see you i see love i see love i see america on a bright winter day, former federal prosecutor Rudolph Giuliani was inaugurated as the 107th mayor of new york. His son, andrew, by his side, he exhorted new yorkers to help him make dramatic changes. The era of fear has had a long enough reign. The period of doubt has run its course. I look at Rudy Giuliani as the greatest mayor in the history of our country, and i look at him as one of the greatest prosecutors in the history of our country. Im gonna have a coaddressee, i guess, andrew. [andrew giggling] i do remember reading his speech and him reading his speech. They say new york is ungovernable. New york is not governable. They say that businesses are leaving. All of these, i declare politically incorrect. Rudy giuliani. [cheers and applause] i just find it funny that people sort of thought of him as americas mayor, cause that wasnt Rudy Giuliani. The giuliani of that 92 riot thats Rudy Giuliani. [heavy music] the city halls steps is New York Citys front steps. Its the front porch. [crowd chanting] [crowd chanting] [overlapping shouting] [dramatic musical sting] if you wanted to see an early version of january 6, 2021, go look at the footage of the police riot of 1992 city hall in New York City. [cheers and applause] thousands of offduty cops who normally patrol the streets now taking them over outside city hall. Im just tired of watching crime run rampant, and were not doing anything about it because our hands are tied. Every time we do something, it seems like were getting indicted. They had come for a big demonstration around city hall. You know they came prepared for the battle. You could see the anger in their faces, and you know that they meant business. [crowd chanting] it was a show of force on the steps of New York City hall. 10,000 offduty cops banded together in protest, fed up and angry with the city they claim doesnt back them up. The mayors plan for an allcivilian board to review Police Misconduct is the last straw that sent the force to the streets. Mayor dinkins proposed a change in the civilian Complaint Review board that at that time had half citizens, civilians, and half Police Officers on it. Lets assume this is the worst legislation known to man. Its clear to me that the Police Officers who were demonstrating misbehaved. Thats real clear. [overlapping shouting] keepers of the law became the lawless. So you look back, and you see an inevitable parallel between those two events. Its very angry. There had been some drinking by some of the officers beforehand, there was some racist signs being held. The demonstration turned ugly. Racial slurs were uttered. But some of them out there yesterday who were calling out nigger, for instance and they were holding up signs about dinkins is a washroom attendant. Why would the people of our communities have confidence that they have the capacity to handle a tense situation . So, seething with anger, they overtook the steps of city hall. [shouting and cheering] eventually turned into a major disturbance. Knock them all down with a lot of disorderly behavior. Literally thousands of police. When you saw that crowd, it was absolutely breathtaking. And they were violent. And their main speaker was Rudy Giuliani. Thank you. He got up and led them in the most provocative chants. When i saw rudy be identified with january 6th, i said he did a Dress Rehearsal at the police riot against dave dinkins. Rudy went down there, and i went with him. And the idea was to show support for the cops. He didnt know he was gonna attend a racist rally. [chatter, crowd commotion] we were standing there looking out through the bars. Jimmy breslin got roughed up. He was the columnist. Una clark was a city councilman. Some people in this mob tried to block her from walking to city hall and they said, who are you . And she said, im a city council woman, and they said, this nigger says shes a city council woman. Do you believe that n is a Council Member . So i just told them, i said, im a jamaican, and there are no ns where i come from. They climbed the various steps of government and felt comfortable to call the mayor of the city a nigger. Its outrageous. If david duke had a Police Department, it would look and sound like this group of people. There was a real sense of mob rule. But on the inside, there was a sense of, lets just hold the building. I was ready to knock them out the street, you know, with my small hands. I was not letting those big bully guys intimidate me at all. They were a drunken disorderly mob of armed men who besieged city hall. It was one of those moments where the democracy had pretty much unraveled. The mayor doesnt know why the morale of the new York City Police department is so low. Rudy claims that he tried to drive them all to speaking platform that was a block away on Church Street and murray. He blames it on phil caruso. He blames it on guy meloneras. He blames it on me. He blames it on you. Rudy gave a very angry speech in support of the police against the concept of the ccib. And the cops have always taken a, you know, a very militant line against that. And rudy played right into that. The reason morale of the Police Department of the city of new york is so low is one reason and one reason aloneDavid Dinkins. [cheers and applause] truthfully, i was not witness to any of those racist comments that were reported later. I did hear rudy yell bullshit, which did antagonize the crowd which was already antagonized. He led that chant in front of city hall with a sitting mayor to people that had openly to use the n word. And he did not admonish them for using it, and he did not admonish them for violence. Some of the very same people who were at city hall were at the capitol on that day. This almost look like january 6th to me. Rudy giuliani whipping up the crowd, just like he did, just like donald trump did on january 6th. Lets have trial by combat. The most racist and denigrating language, still staying within certain boundaries, but as, you know, Dog Whistling at its extreme. The notion that he whipped up armed people to riot, it wasnt just to protest or chant. Theyve stomped on cars. They literally were in a state of chaos. Rudy giuliani join them in that riot. It was a very, very frightening time, and it only escalated racial tensions. I think it was a planned riot for city hall. I think that the higher ups in the Police Department all were in concert. They wanted David Dinkins to go. I think it was a low point in the history of the city. I mean, i dont know how any of the cops who were there that day could look themselves in the mirror and say that they did anything good for new york. And for Rudy Giuliani to urge them on, as it were, demonstrates an irresponsibility on his behalf. The 1992 Police Protest was sort of the birth of rudy as fascist. Reason and one reason alone David Dinkins. Rudy giuliani showed who he was that day. Thats the watershed day in Rudy Giulianis life, because the Rudy Giuliani before 1989, who really did contribute to a better city, turned into a guy who was willing to do anything to get elected, no matter how vicious, no matter how racist. And it began in earnest that day in 1992. Meet three students all learning to save and spend their money with chase. Freedom for kids. Hungry . Thank you, chef. Control for parents. Nice.

Its not just possible. Its happening. [crowd chanting] dinkins, dinkins, dinkins its not just possible. Its happening. On the surface, it looks like nothings changed from 1989. The same two candidates are at it again. I think, frankly, that our city is more at peace than some would think. The present mayor sees problems as things that you kind of make excuses about to avoid. I see problems as a challenge to do better. The nickname a lot of us for rudy in those days was mighty whitey. You know, race is a big thing in every city, and this one included. The city has been wracked by a series of ethnic upheavals. Three nights of Street Violence erupted in the Crown Heights section of brooklyn. David dinkins mishandled a couple of terrible incidents in new york, such as the Crown Heights riot. The car veered Out Of Control and pinned two children beneath its wheels as it careened onto the sidewalk and ran into an apartment building. The accident killed sevenyearold gavin kato and seriously injured his cousin, angela. A kid was killed by a jewish person driving a car. I think what angered people most of all was the fact that the driver of the car went off. Folks wanted to make sure that there would be justice. Enraged onlookers, whos angry words with police escalated into a mini riot, during which a shot was fired at police, a patrol car and another car were torched, and members of the areas lubavitcher Hasidic Community say they were randomly attacked. Police say the murder of a 29yearold hasidic Student From Australia Late Last Night appears to have been a Revenge Attack for the car accident. All no justice, no peace mayor dinkins hasnt heard before. He better hear now. Jewish blood is not cheap. The Jewish Community felt that dinkins favored the black community at the time, that he let them vent for two plus days. That was the word of the day, that he let them vent. Violence is never ever the solution. No justice. No peace. Mayor dinkins was blamed for not stopping the riots sooner. A statecommissioned report said the mayor had been slow to act. And that gained a lot of attention. That really was a turning point. Giuliani has referred to the Crown Heights rioting, which resulted in the death of a rabbinical student, as a pogrom, a term for antijewish organized action. What has been going on the last two days is outrageous, has not been here since the pogroms. Three of my four grandparents died in the holocaust, and i know what a pogrom is, and i know what a pogrom isnt, and that was not a pogrom. But he called it a pogrom, and it stuck. The hate and mistrust on both sides mounts, and no bridge towards understanding is in sight. He used Crown Heights, acting as if dave jenkins was antisemitic, and every other racebased inference he could. I think that if David Dinkins were white, the attacks would not have worked on him. Race baiters and haters of black people, they thought they were putting David Dinkins in his place. Everybody in the city knows that David Dinkins is incapable of making a decision. I did not expect the shocking deevolution of Rudy Giuliani. And all of the nobility that was evident before he ran in 1989 was thrown out the window. He tried, in every way he could, to motivate white voters with racist appeals. The original issues have become muddled in this fight. Now, whether its a battle between cops and the mayor, or blacks and whites, all sides have gone to marshal their supporters. This race is different because dinkins now has a record to run on. Hes not just the first africanamerican mayor. Hes the first africanamerican mayor with a record that we can run against. Certain reporters insisted on categorizing as the race race because, you know, that sells more papers. Can this former prosecutor, can he actually be the one to come in and help bring new york into the right direction . The giuliani playbook is successful. The giuliani playbook is game changing. But i do have a lot of hard work, a very different way of governing this city. Quality of life was to appeal to a lot of white, Upper Middle Class disturbed by somebody maybe wanting to wash their windshield, hoping to get a dollar or two. Here, voters are socially and fiscally conservative. No matter the falling crime rates, aggressive street beggars, and even graffiti and litter are lowering the quality of life. The present mayor runs away from that. Its statistics he doesnt understand. Taking out Window Wipers and people that would ask for a dime or two on the subway the focus was cosmetic. We wanna show People Improvement in the quality of their life, that things are Getting Better for them, that things are safer, quieter. So that he would give the perception that, im taking care of crime. Im getting all the nuisance out of the way. These criminals are threat to your tranquility. And it was all optics. New york and new jersey, its your decision day. Four more years four more years giuliani people tell me that they are worried about voter fraud. Its politics, everythings a rashomon, right . Its how you perceive it and how your supporters perceive it, you know. Is it a vase, or is it two profiles . And thats how you win, okay . Thats unfortunately how you win. New york city voters that made their decision. Rudy giuliani to become the first republican mayor of New York City since 1965. Im standing before you as the next mayor of New York City. People were fed up enough that they were willing to go, you know, in a whole new direction with rudy. What do you think is the single biggest reason that you won . I think that we offered new leadership for New York City and we were willing to take on problems like quality o
