Rudy Giuliani Quotations | Page 3

I listen a little to the Democrats, and if one of them gets elected, we are going on defense," Giuliani continued. "We will wave the white flag on Iraq. We will cut back on the Patriot Act, electronic surveillance, interrogation and we will be back to our pre-September 11 attitude of defense.

I have no objection to the concept of domestic partnership.

A woman who pretends to be a feminist shouldn't be taking money from countries where women are stoned, where women are killed for adultery, where women can't drive, Hillary Clinton's taken hundreds of millions of dollars from those countries.

You know, in the horror movie you kill the monster, and the hand re-emerges. And if you're not looking, the hand grows back and then the monster's there again. That cannot be allowed to happen.

I'm probably one of the four or five best known Americans in the world.

[Hillary Clinton] poses as a feminist, and she's taken money from countries that stone women, kill women, have women . . .

The house in Chappaqua is up for sale, ... and you can get it for a bargain on Wednesday.

To be locked into partisan politics doesn't permit you to think clearly.

the sky's the limit for all Americans if we have the right kind of leadership.

I'm pro-choice. I'm pro-gay rights.

It's the way Hillary Clinton goes on the attack and tries to hurt victims of sexual predations. I mean, she's the one who says that victims should be taken seriously.

If we were building our navy, rather than reducing our navy to pre-World War I levels, China would not be thinking about increasing its navy to take over the South China Sea.

I'm looking for a president that'll be like a Ronald Reagan to a Jimmy Carter.

I don't think anyone has campaigned much more than I have for Republican candidates, going back to 1998. I mean, I've been in 45 states on behalf of 200 candidates - all Republicans.

I think the accusations are about Hillary Clinton taking money from countries that kill women.

First thing you have to do is say to yourself what can I bring to it, what can I do and how can I make the country better? How can I improve it?

And it's a little - very humbling to think that running for president of the United States is - for a kid from Brooklyn, it's quite a step.

We are technologically ahead of Russia and China. We can develop a nuclear shield for the United States, for Poland, and for the Czech Republic. Russia is deadly frightened of that. They have been trying to get us to give that up for 20 years since [Ronald] Reagan.

While I was the mayor abortions in New York went down and adoptions went way up, because we worked on adoptions as an alternative, so that there'd be a real choice.

I think abortion is something that, as a personal matter, I would advise somebody against.

And if you have a law that isn't working, and you have thousands and thousands and millions of people, then the terrorists hide among them. And we have to have a law that makes sense.

I asked Secretary [Robert] Gates, what did they get in return for giving up the nuclear shield of Poland and the Czech Republic? And you know what his answer was? Nada. They got nothing.

Being mayor of New York was a crisis a week and an emergency every other day.

We have to be on offense against terrorists, that we have to make it bipartisan, that it isn't about being a Democrat or a Republican. It's about being an American.

If there's no other alternative, I support civilian trials for terrorists.

I've campaigned many, many times together with Senator McCain. He's campaigned for me; I've campaigned for him, good friend.

Hillary Clinton has an entire media empire that constantly demonizes Donald Trump, fails to point out several signs of illness by her.

You believe that you can win the nomination of your party, and then you believe that you're the strongest candidate to win the election for your party.

[Vladimir] Putin took a look at them [Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama] and said, I can push these guys around the world. These are children compared to me. Donald Trump is not a child.

Ronald Reagan is going to go into negotiations with [Vladimir] Putin from a position of strength. Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama gave up the game on day one when they reset the relationship with Russia and they gave up the nuclear defense of Poland and the Czech Republic.

Donald Trump is going to take our Army up to 6,000. And Obama and Hillary are going to take it down to 4,200. He is going to take our Marine Corps from 23 battalions to 35 battalions. And he's going to reestablish and modernize our nuclear program.

She said she thought it [ letter "C"] meant alphabetical order. But nobody bothered to ask did she ever see an "A," a "B," a "D," or an "E." If I were cross-examining her I darn well would have asked her that question.

I was in the Justice Department for three years. I remember my entry briefing by the CIA. I can tell the date of it. I remember my exit interview from the CIA. And I remember that "C" in parentheses meant confidential.

If you read history, right, if you read [Mikhail] Gorbachev's memoirs, Gorbachev memoirs said the key thing in winning the Cold War was our insistence on nuclear defense, because they knew they couldn't match us.

Donald Trump has told me that he is proud of the fact that he finally got [Barack] Obama to produce his birth certificate.

The point is Hillary Clinton's campaign is the first one to do it [asking about Barack Obama legitimity] because all she does is engage in negative campaigning against Barack Obama and against Donald Trump.

He [Donald Trump] is the one who got him [Barack Obama] to finally produce the birth certificate. Hillary Clinton's campaign first raised this issue. He picked this up from Hillary Clinton.

Donald Trump believes now that Barack Obama was born in the United States. But that issue was raised originally by Hillary Clinton's campaign.

Here's why nuclear defense makes sense. And I know something about this. A missile can take an airplane out of the air. A better missile can take a missile out of the air.

I don't think a woman [Hillary Clinton] who has revealed numerous classified information, doesn't know that the letter "C" means confidential.

Donald Trump knows how to use leverage in negotiations.

If we build our military up to Ronald Reagan levels, [Vladimir] Putin's not going to push us anywhere because he can't match us.

I see a comparison between the two [Ronald Reagan and Donald Trump]. Peace through strength. What Chris Matthews don't grasp is that day Donald Trump gave a speech in which he said he's going to build the U.S. military up to Ronald Reagan levels.

I was always responsible for everything in my campaign.

I have eight times online since January [2016] in which Hillary Clinton has had massive coughing fits in which she couldn't complete her speech. I've seen her lifted onto airplanes. And I don't know what's wrong with her.

This guy [Donald Trump] is not going to get pushed around.

All I do is see all these incidents of [Hillary Clinton's] coughing all the time. I don't know what it is.

He [Vladimir Putin] will not be able to push Donald Trump around the world. Believe me.

I thought there were the day before when Hillary Clinton coughed for about, I don't know, 15 minutes and then coughed on the airplane and then spit something up. I don't know what's wrong with her but they kind of hide her .

I have seen her [Hillary Clinton] in several other situations where she didn't look healthy.

Let's talk about the next president being someone who would be prosecuted if she wasn't a [Hillary] Clinton, because I would have prosecuted her. And I have seen plenty of people prosecuted for much less, like Martha Stewart.

I confirm that and Donald Trump now confirms that [President Barack Obama is a legitimately elected president of the United States].

Instead of talking about the fact that Hillary Clinton violated about 40 federal laws we are talking about this [that this president's Barack Obama is legitimately elected president of the United States and you say your candidate agrees with you]. It is ridiculous.

I was surprised at how angry Hillary Clinton was last night.I don't know whether she's not - whether she's sick or she's not. I do know that there are 14, 15 videos of her that show her in very, very strange condition. I don't know what it is.

And then in the FBI report it says that Hillary Clinton can't remember her exit interview from the FBI because of her concussion because she didn't have a memory. But she was acting as secretary of state at the time which means we had a secretary of state who was acting who doesn't have a memory of what she was doing.

Six percent, 5 percent of our GDP for him [Vladimir Putin] to match us, he has to spend 25 percent of his GDP and it will bankrupt his country.

If [Donald] Trump had said something like I'm going to raise taxes on the middle class, it would be all over the news. You would be questioning his sanity.

I think what Donald Trump is reflecting is - and I know the media always discounts this because you don't like to get criticized. But you don't treat us the same way that you treat Democrats. Hillary [Clinton], Bill [Clinton], [Barack] Obama , they get the benefit of the doubt.

I find it a lot more concerning to me that Hillary Clinton was extremely careless in the handling of national security information, not just one or two, but thousands and thousands of pieces of national security information.

Many reasonable prosecutors have come to the conclusion that they would have brought such a case [that Hillary Clinton was extremely careless in the handling of national security information]. I would have brought such a case and I would have won such a case. And I've prosecuted cases like that in my years in the Justice Department.

All the same stuff that happened to [Bob] McDonnell , and McDonnell got prosecuted. And he [Tim Kaine] is sitting there free and - just like Hillary [Clinton].

[Donald Trump] can say hey, did she [Hillary Clinton] short-circuit when she reset the relationship with [Vladimir] Putin and now Russia is, according to "The New York Times" article today, Russia is in control in Syria?

She [Hillary Clinton] was extremely careless with handling national security information.If she were just an ordinary person, she would be denied a top security clearance because she has proved in her past acts that she is extremely careless in handling national security information.

Did [Hillary Clinton] short-circuit when she advocated for the overthrow of [Muamar] Gaddafi and Libya is now an Islamic State stranglehold?

I'm a former federal prosecutor, a former associate attorney general. If I had done that, I'd have been prosecuted. It's a clear violation of 18 United States Code Section 791.What [Hillary Clinton] did were criminal acts. She has displayed the facts.

I'm not paranoid,I just don't trust people.

Hillary Clinton skated because she's running for president. She clearly violated the law.

I see in the FBI 302, which was put out on Memorial Day weekend in print about this big where you needed to use a magnifying glass to read it, but I read it twice, I saw something that really concerned me.It said Hillary Clinton can't remember her exit interview from the CIA because she had no memory for a period of time after she had a concussion. She was secretary of state when she had no memory. Now there's something really seriously wrong with it.

I think her comments - Hillary's [Clinton] comments just don't get the same attention that Trump's do. For example, she lied to a Gold Star mother. She lied to pre - Patricia Smith, the mother of Sean Smith, who - who was killed at Benghazi, I believe, because of her incompetence, her incompetence in failing to secure that mission.

I think Donald Trump's reaching out and supporting John McCain and Kelly Ayotte in particular, and Paul Ryan, who had been critical of him, you know, a couple of days earlier, shows that he has the ability and the understanding to realize that there are going to be disagreements and you've got to be able to reach out to the entire party.

I think these debates coming up are going to be a test of who the American people like better, who they want in their living room more, who they think is better capable of being president of the United States.

I don't know, maybe she [Hillary Clinton] short-circuited when she wiped out 35,000 emails.

First of all, she [Hillary Clinton] is going to raise taxes on the middle class. I actually think that's the only truthful thing she's said in about three weeks.

When you say black lives matter, that's inherently racist.

In 2012 President Obama didn't go anywhere near African-American communities. Why? Because unemployment was so high there, he didn't want to address it.

I do think you have sort of a general philosophical approach that you want from a justice, and I think a strict constructionist would be probably the way I'd describe it.

Chief Justice Roberts is somebody I work with, somebody I admire, Justice Alito someone I knew when he was U.S. attorney, also admire.

My major focus is national security because that's really what the president runs.

The past is what we have to learn about how to direct America to the future.

I believe in a woman's right to choose.

Mexico has many more kidnappings than the United States. The U.S. has very few kidnappings.The reason is, in the United States, we don't pay ransom. We turn it over to the FBI. They catch the person. And then, of course, we used to have the death penalty for it. Now it's life in prison. In Mexico, everybody pays. It's a business...

The best way to contain China and make it the peaceful rise of China is for us to have an enormously robust navy that is the greatest navy in the world, that can patrol two oceans, that can fight two or three wars, and China will not challenge us because the Chinese are practical.

People have a right to protest; they have a right to make their opinion. They can be very upset about what they consider to be a murder of a person in custody, but you cannot destroy property. First person does it goes to jail.

There can be people who feel one way about gay rights, another way about gay rights. There can be people who have different views on abortion. But we respect each other. I think we learn from each other. And we understand that ultimately we have the same values.

Rick Perry I have a great fondness for. And what Rick Perry has, like Jeb Bush has, it will be interesting to compare their two records as governor, very close, great economic development, low taxes, all the things we want domestically out of a president.

I would appoint judges that interpreted the Constitution rather than invented it, understood the difference between being a judge and being a legislator.

If somebody's going to earn citizenship, with whatever other hurdles are put in the way, at the end of the road they should be able to speak English, they should be able to read English, they should have some knowledge of American history,

Partial-birth abortion, I think that's going to be upheld. I think that ban is going to be upheld. I think it should be. And I think, as long as there's provision for the life of the mother, then that's something that should be done.

The reality is you've got to be yourself. You've got to be who you are. You've got to be honest with people. If your views change on something, you've got to be willing to express it.

You have to be willing - you have strong ideas, you have strong views, but you have to be willing also to look at experience.

I understand the Second Amendment. I support it. People have the right to bear arms.

It's part of the Constitution. People have the right to bear arms. Then the restrictions of it have to be reasonable and sensible. You can't just remove that right. You've got to regulate, consistent with the Second Amendment.

There's never any guarantee at war.
