Our city mayor Rudy Giuliani -- this good evening -- Good evening Greta how are you.
I'm grew out so I assume that video was put out to poke a little fun at the president I know that.
Bob Woodward tonight by the way put out by the Washington Post at the president and jetBlue had it wrong though.
Administrations.
I did a cup of sequestration but what difference maker whose idea this.
-- it does make a difference I mean that the president what the president has really -- leadership here we the president created this doomsday scenario.
In order to let you know frighten people into avoiding the kind of cuts that we have to make it -- in order to balance our budget.
-- -- that person is doing damage to America is President Obama by spending a trillion dollars more for the last four or five years and we have.
And who's gonna pay that.
Your children my children our grandchildren they're gonna pay it.
They're gonna have to pay that debt to his overspending.
And they're creating real peril for the American economy long term substantive -- all that stuff that you just had on.
And it has been going on for twenty to thirty years you know we're gonna we're gonna lose the statue of liberty and you know.
Said the buildings are gonna fall down there will be no police on the street and I heard that when -- -- mayor of New York I had to cut 2.3 2.4 billion and they tried to make it sound like the city was gonna disappear we cut it.
It worked this city is better off than it's ever been before.
And fiscal discipline.
Is something that a president has to bring to government if he doesn't bring it to government very hard for a legislator to do it.
And this president has been a disaster he's been fiscally the most undisciplined president in the history of the United States.
I couple things number one is the fact that he doesn't seem to remember that it was his White House idea and -- located on the sequester.
It means is a bad memory which is not a good sign -- -- he's been trying to be petty and try and now -- finds himself in hot water to blame somebody has the looks -- that's the first eight.
The second thanks for the life me I don't understand that and I and I watch and see if if I'm correct but as I understand this so called cut.
Is that this is that is that February 28 we have a certain level of spending on March 1 that that spending is supposed to go -- And to what to what what the sequestration does it says it doesn't go out there as much as -- wanted it.
So it really isn't that we're cutting anything but it's so important not.
Putting many think why aren't you laying people off why I don't get like what is -- -- happen -- -- I don't regret it I don't get get.
Yes this is this is so childish these people should be governing us and -- this is really silly you're actually right this is not a cut in spending this is cutting.
How much more we were going to spend somewhat.
So -- -- -- cut it's a reduction in the amount of money where we're -- from a still gonna spend more.
And when you look at the percentage that it is of our entire federal budget to make these claims that the country's gonna end.
Is that there is just as false as his claim that he wasn't responsible for the -- remember he made that claim during the third debate with Romney.
And it -- and Jack glue immediately.
Misrepresented and supported it.
And it took -- took -- would -- to come out and point out that with -- totally false totally untrue I think they gave him I think the Washington Post gave the president.
We -- -- for Pinocchio is four.
From making this false statements that are -- false statements this was his idea it was a stupid idea.
It's an idea that shows how it irresponsible he's been in dealing with our with our economy and he's been there's been the worst president for our economy.
In the history in this country.
I don't tell me how -- I -- here on the story about people being pinks that's not want people to suffer.
But if we if we did have if we do it was sequestration.
And we have a Sloan -- spending increase.
Why would anyone even -- laid off that then because we're still spending more even when the sequestration.
I don't get a Greta and and the people he's talking about arguably are being laid off or paid for by state and local budgets.
We all -- those firefighters and rescue workers and everything else they're paid for by.
You know the city of Los Angeles in the city of New York in the state of California and the state of Texas -- And these are not what they're not talking about federal workers.
There's no reason for -- massive layoffs if it's just a reduction in the increase since -- not a real reduction in spending.
-- maybe they'll be some layoffs but not massive layoffs but you know something the federal government -- some layoffs.
We we -- what -- too many people in the federal government.
That's why we're spending a trillion dollars more than we have if anybody thinks the federal government is efficient.
Then he -- here on -- the federal government is highly inefficient.
It could use a five or 10% cut it'll make a lot more efficient.
Pat and I guess is C -- Mara.
Thank you very much criticism and I thank you --
