Republican Rudolph Giuliani. [tense music] in city hall, there was a space in the bowels of that ancient building that came to be known as the lair. Thats where the cigars would be smoked. And thats where giulianis inner circle would watch the godfather over and over. [chuckles] and over again. Godfather. Rudy is famously obsessed with the godfather. Rudy giuliani is a little bit of everybody in that film. One night, he had a showing of the godfather. And he sits behind me, and during the entire movie, he explains why the life of politics is exactly the life of the godfather. And, of course, in the one story where sonny complains to the godfather that they should be selling drugs, and you see this battle within the family, rudy starts tapping me on the shoulder saying, do you see . Do you see . When you have a disagreement, you keep it in the family. Dont ever takes sides with anyone against the family again. Rudy grows up to become a prosecutor of the mob. And yet hes fascinated by this movie whose main figures are murderers and criminals who, i guess, on the simplest level may appeal to him as oldschool, Male Wielders of power. Hes always wanted complete control and power. Maybe thats part of what he identifies with in the corleone family, though, it didnt end so well for those folks either. If you think Rudy Giuliani is about being a politician, you dont understand him. He is a fascinating, engaging, and sometimes frustrating individual. He was the most dimensional person that i ever worked for, with the single greatest highs of my lifetime, a few lows that disappoint his allies and friends. To understand rudy, you really understand that at the core, hes an angry man and always was. And anger can be directed in a positive way or a negative way. Rudy always felt like he was going to win. So did i. We knew that rudy had the appropriate skills and experience that he should be elected mayor of the city. Between 1989 when he lost and 1993, he gave himself an education in how to be a candidate and how to be a mayor. We had a Research Team make a Vulnerability Study sort of a road map to defend him. This is parts six, seven, eight, and nine of that Vulnerability Study. Overzealousness. I also have the right to give you my opinion about what hes saying, which is, the mans a liar. Giuliani is a shameless publicityseeker. Giuliani possesses an abundant arrogance that makes him temperamentally unfit to govern new york city. Im confident that my office can do anything. But thats probably one of my weaknesses. Many of the other parts cover him being sexist, antigay, ethnic vulnerabilities, as its delicately put, and theres many more. I happened to have been in the room when the Vulnerability Study was delivered to him. It was visceral, his reaction. I still remember his glasses perched on the tip of his nose as he stared down at it. And he didnt even look up. [chuckles] and that was that. Rudy giuliani is somebody whos talked a great deal about the straight and narrow, and in his own personal life has not tended to be there. Rudy needs nurturing. Constant nurturing from the women in his life. I think rudys choice of women shows an interesting paradox in his character. It must be said, he really as always gone for smart, accomplished, relatively harddriving women. But they then have to make their life all about rudy. I think in his personal life as in his professional life, he is the king. And if you dont want to be a courtier, dont let the scepter hit you on the way out. Some voters wondered whether he had a heart. They believed that he had conviction. But they wondered whether he had compassion. So he retooled his image. He was no longer the u. S. Attorney. He was a Guy Named Rudy who came from brooklyn. He was humble and drank diet coke and ate pizza. I also had to learn to release more of myself. Yeah. I was a pretty private person. Even though i was a u. S. Attorney, only a certain segment of your life is covered. You have to learn how to show some emotion and release it to people. Be real. And let them know how much you care. It worked, and it softened his image. Hes a family man. Donna hanover was Rudolph Giulianis second wife. We met when i was associate Attorney General and she was anchoring the news in miami. Donna had a major role in that campaign. The message tonight is a lot of thinking women have decided to vote for giuliani. And we want other concerned women to think about it too. She was very, very media savvy in her own right. This is the kind of man i want to be the father of my children. And rudy is such a great dad. I wish all those people who think hes so tough could see him with children. Thats the real rudy. Rudy giuliani for mayor. New york in the early 90s really was coming apart at the seams. It is easy to bash new york city, where you dont have to be in jail to see the world through bars, a city where crime is never far from your mind. If somebody doesnt stand up for this city, then there isnt gonna be much of a city left. Rudy, with his Law And Order attitude, really had an amazing opportunity. The attitude was that the city was ungovernable. But thats only because it wasnt governed. Is new york city governable . Sure, absolutely. Is new york city manageable, or are there so many problems that even the best mayor in the world couldnt do a good job with new york city . Absolutely. Its absolutely governable. Really . Its not ungovernable. The reason we say it is because were frustrated, maybe somewhat cynical. The stakes were high because new york is overwhelmingly democratic. To be elected to Citywide Office in new york as a republican, it takes a very special candidate. When he announced that he was running again, i said, well, we better fasten our seatbelt because hes gonna run on a race strategy. We cant lose our sense of outrage at crime. We cant lose our sense of anger at the way in which our city is declining. Everybody understood what he meant. It was, we, you know, nonblack new york, have to put them in their place. We have to defeat them. He used it throughout as the basic line of his campaign. And, boy, does that sound like trump talking about the Democratic Party today. That performance was legendary. They just piled it on. Roast beef, ham, oven roasted turkey. All on the subway club. Three peat thats great. Three meat thats epic. The subway series. The greatest menu of all time. [tense music] giuliani lost by a narrow margin in 1989. And we knew the race was, once again, going to be a very tight race. And the city was divided, very much like our nation is divided today. And it was divided along racial lines as well. Basically, giuliani ran on a platform of dinkins is incompetent. Everybody in this city knows that David Dinkins is incapable of making a decision. He cant get the job done. And new york needs a Law And Order mayor. This election is not about race. Its about crime, drugs, schools, jobs, healthcare. Endorsements from the citys four major daily newspapers are split at two and two. And most polls have this race at a dead heat. Whos gonna make things better for families in new york city . All rudy who you gonna vote for on tuesday . All rudy [cheering] that night, by 10 15, 10 30, the numbers are coming in. Our final polling had rudy winning by 2 . And in the end he won by 2. 9. New yorkers have voted to unseat their citys first black mayor and replace him with a white republican. [crowd chanting] rudy, rudy, rudy, rudy yes, ladies and gentlemen, the mayor elect for the city of new york, Rudolph William Giuliani im standing before you as the next mayor of new york city. [cheers and applause] Rudy Loved Being mayor. It was the perfect job for him. He loved running things and managing things. Mayor of new york, they say, is the second hardest job in american politics. The new York City Press corps . I mean, that is, like, a glaring spotlight the way it is when you sit in the oval office and you have the entire national and International Press corps. I mean, its only second to that. He came in, and there was a huge budget deficit, which was over 2 billion. Our budget is painful but necessary medicine. Hundreds of millions of dollars less to the mta for subways and transit. Health and hospitals, cut. Everything is slashed. He lived up to his Campaign Promises of trying to reduce the welfare rolls. Food stamp use, slashed. Rudy does have the instincts of a wartime general. He needs an adversary. He needs a fight. When rudy was elected, i hoped that would be the beginning of a productive relationship between us. I was the State Controller, Chief Fiscal Officer of the state and also the Chief Auditor of the state. One of my responsibilities as State Controller was to audit all municipal agencies throughout the state. And rudy refused. He said that i could not audit city agencies. I had to go to court to sue him to allow me to perform my constitutional responsibilities. We went to court, and a judge came back with a very strong ruling in our favor. Rudy didnt stop. He went to the appellate division. A fourjudge panel heard our case and unanimously agreed with us. He didnt stop there. He then went to the highest court in the state. And again, we got a unanimous decision from seven justices. He didnt want people to know what he was doing and whether what he was doing was effective. He simply wanted to go about his business and do what he wanted without any accountability. Its interesting now, historically, to look at his pattern, you know. When you think about the police riot and his participation in that riot, and you think about the january 6th riot, and the fact that he went to Court Without evidence to promote the big lie that the president was elected and that the election was stolen. That was as flimsy as dealing with me. Perception being reality was that theres a new sheriff in town. And the murder rate was 2,000. That was an easy thing to focus on. And that was his strength, you know, crime fighting. Tonight, mayor giuliani wants to revamp the Community Policing program. Where are the cops . Thats the question, among others, mayor giuliani vowed to find an answer to today. [applause] he empowered the police. The police had Felt Unempowered under dinkins. Here comes a guy who says, do your job. And ill deal with the consequences. And i got your back. Id like to introduce the new Police Commissioner of new york city, bill bratton. [applause] [clears throat] early on in my career, i came to understand that what impacted on everybody was quality of life crime. You deal with some of those things that used to be considered small things, so they dont become bigger. Like . Well, like squeegee operators, and excessive noise, and aggressive panhandling. A lot of these crimes were described as victimless crimes. What was not recognized was, the victim was the city. In the past two years, new york hired 5,000 new officers and put many of them on the street. Quality of life is key, and Public Safety is essential. If you get those things right as a city, a thousand things can go right. Every friday, we would meet for at least an hour. His whole life had been in the Criminal Justice world. He loved those friday meetings. At this time, Crime Statistics came annually, which really isnt sort of remarkable, doesnt really help. And bratton says, lets get daily Crime Statistics on whats going on. What was it like on the 104 side . What kind of a week have you been having . 16 Robbery Arrests so far last month. You look at the robberies, the majority occurring in the sector drawn. We would bring Police Captains to meetings every week to hold them accountable for crime going up, going down. For the record on that 73 precinct case, the crime scene was never notified. Well hope that that gets corrected. New york city has logged its biggest drop in violent crime, in nearly 1 4 century. Overall, crime rates have dropped almost 16 . It worked. It brought the murder rate down to 600, which was quite a decrease from 2000. Under mayor Rudy Giuliani, new york, once the crime capital, is now the safest large city in america, according to the fbi. Even the most cynical new yorkers credit giuliani with vastly improving their quality of life. This is a remarkable moment of transformation for the city. These are the years of the yankees and derek jeter. These are the first years of chelsea. These are the first years of brooklyn happening. So the art scene begins to expand in these ways. This is the new york of sex and the city. There was a sense among new yorkers, and among people around the world, that the city was a different, and more vibrant, and bigger, and better place than it had been for a very long time. Mayor giuliani has been, in my view, the best mayor weve had for Public Safety. Giuliani happens to be an excellent mayor. The mans great. Look what hes done for brooklyn. Look what hes done for new york. This is becoming an enormous National Success story. Giuliani obviously revels in it you know, credit for beginning to turn around the city. But it was never enough credit. Giuliani wanted all spotlight focused on him. Okay everyone, our mission is complete balanced nutrition. Together we support immune function.

Well, i could switch us to xfinity. Those smiles. Thats why i do what i do. That and the paycheck. [tense music] the city of new york became the safest big city in america. As time goes by, the kind of obsession with metrics becomes a problem. Mayor giuliani said, i want those numbers lower. I want them lower and lower. The strong drop in crime fed the accusation that his police force was too aggressive. The streets are safer. But the cost was having a Police Department that started to act as an occupying army. For rudy, what quality of life meant was quality of white life. Some of the things that ive done have helped not only the entire city, but the black community more than my predecessors. Crime is at the lowest level that its been at in 35 years. Everybody benefits from that including the black community. Im going to put total Occupation Mentality in the black and brown communities. The reports of Police Misconduct are on the rise. He came from behind me, and he put his gun to the back of my head and told me to get on my effing knees. I complied. And he just started whacking me with his gun. We want to get rid of these people so that when you walk in the street, maam, you dont have to clutch your pearls. He went to catholic schools. There were no black people. He went to college. There were no black people. And then he becomes mayor. And when he came into office, he had no relationship with the black community. I look at the vast change thats occurred in the African American community in new york city. Im proud of that. He makes a big show of never meeting with black political leaders. He would kind of rub it in their faces. I used to joke that the thing about giuliani is, either you love him, or he hates you. I think he had an aggressive stance towards anyone who questioned anything he did. Questions . Every day, giuliani would have a press conference. To his credit, he was always having Press Conferences. The relationship between rudy and the press, from the start, is pretty negative. Will the Office Of The First Lady be listed . [chuckles] come on, good try. Come on, guys. Giuliani had a very nasty attitude toward reporters. You ask that question cause youre too young. This is de
